from Lastro

washed up zen otp on ana is not a good move

[balmy wolf]

its just cause they didnt have kai to be honest

[limpid grail]

mmmm

[balmy wolf]

kai 1v9

[limpid grail]

it's cause flora is playing madly today

[north relic]

Weren’t defending lastro

When talking about your glads placement

[limpid grail]

if lastro is not getting dived he is getting logged by flora from across the map

[hot onyx]

Glads Defiant and Fuel were interchangeable imo

Glads just have Kevin

[balmy wolf]

wait do we have a google sheets of rankings for this szn again?

[north relic]

It’s funny how glads are in this tier

[hot onyx]

it's funny how glads are trying

[twin bloom]

I didnt believe in defiant but that was evened out buy ATL having braindamaged coaches

[balmy wolf]

glads are a tier 2 team this szn simple

[twin bloom]

Btw i have a basis for this claim now

IMO

[balmy wolf]

wdym

[twin bloom]

Nero called the ATL coaches braindamaged

On stream

[north relic]

Is this talking about gator

[twin bloom]

No sephay

[hot onyx]

that claim has been valid since 2020 imo

[balmy wolf]

i mean

when in doubt

just take all the cracked KR players and 1 white guy on a team

coaches can never fail

when they dont coach

[tiny pollen]

mirror on winston ??

[static pond]

Ffr

How is no one bringing that up

[tiny pollen]

praying on glads loss rn

[balmy wolf]

yes

i hate glads

in a nice way

[static pond]

AND HOW IS GLADS LOSING

TO MIRROR WINSTON

[balmy wolf]

the temptation to make space jokes even when hes not on the team is too strong

[tiny pollen]

legday fucking sucks

[balmy wolf]

legday feels off without lemon

[hot onyx]

Gladiators subbing out Kevster and Kai for hitscan when they haven't even let their best hitscan in the lineup

[static pond]

was that when he was on Philly?

[tiny pollen]

why facecam for a sec lmao

[hot onyx]

Fusion University in EU Contenders Trials vs 4th Dimension

[static pond]

Did they nerf tracer ult damage or something?

[supple prism]

why?

[tiny pollen]

damn mirror sucks

[static pond]

Kai tank a pulse bomb lol

[willow drum]

alphayi and kevin

are so good

LMAO

[static pond]

Alphayi would have been really good on Boston

Mirror is so bad lol

On Winston

[supple prism]

deadeye gives 40% damage reduction, roll gives 50% damage reduction

[tiny pollen]

who is putting bro in 😭

[static pond]

Oh right

Forgot about that mccree ult

[supple prism]

they need to keep benbest in

[tiny pollen]

where is nepotism when u need it

[static pond]

Random question

Is mirror known for his Winston?

[tiny pollen]

he is known for not getting a blade on circuit attack and being on the glads bench

and has an okay doomfist/jq

[static pond]

Was wondering what Washington fans were talking about when one of them said he known for his Winston

[twin bloom]

He started on glads

[willow drum]

no

[twin bloom]

Quite a bit

[willow drum]

ok

[fading wing]

i’m getting real tired

of watching legday

look at himself in the monitor

purse his lips and raise his eyebrow

https://tenor.com/view/gentleman-giga-chad-sigma-male-gif-25702945

[frozen pawn]

LF5 people to do a 5v5 custom with

[worn falcon]

Wouldn't you do the same

[chilly mauve]

The only team I predicted to make the bracket was a contenders team :(

Disappointed

[trim imp]

Im going to try and put together an OW fun but competetive tournament. With different skill levels and teams. Would anyone be intreaseted. Im not a content creator, or even good at the game I just would like to create a fun tournament for overwatch like other games have.

[winter talon]

anyone love cass

[icy valve]

Didn’t he that stream also complain about basically everything? Like his shock time aswell?

[static pond]

I be mad to if I was only known for my torb

[plush grail]

nero is mid as fuck

[north relic]

you can’t say that about any Vegas player

[plush grail]

hit puberty

[worldly mesa]

imagine leaving paris for a degenerate desert land in usa

out off all things usa

[plush grail]

imagine leaving philly for a city that already has a well established team ( @hot onyx )

[sullen berry]

rewatching the last game today, what are your takes on defiant so far

shut up, vegan eternal @plush grail

[devout path]

Why do teams play twice in a day

That sounds terrible

[plush grail]

u eat my ass so ur not vegan

[sullen berry]

ProAM diff

[devout path]

When does owl start

[sullen berry]

when chengdu can form a team

(they do not have one)

[devout path]

Oh really

[devout path]

Damn

That’s why this is running

[sullen berry]

instead we're just watching a "showmatch" tournament between top EU/NA contenders

[devout path]

Why can’t they form a team

Do they not have money

[plush grail]

hello new person

[sullen berry]

APAC is getting interesting, they're having a bunch of actual APAC (South East Asia) teams not just KR and Australia who will be participating in the Spring stage

[devout path]

Did their org collapse

[sullen berry]

hello there newbie (with a big ass)

[sullen berry]

they straight went dark on all socials, including their weibo account

[devout path]

So yes

[plush grail]

i have a FAT ASS

[sullen berry]

rumors seems to confirm they don't even have a team for 2023

[plush grail]

how did u know

[sullen berry]

jinmu doesn't have a team

as he streams overwatch in china

which is technically connecting to Korean players like the chinese contenders team playing in Pacific Contenders

so glad to see thailand represented again

🇹🇭

[devout path]

Does no one want to buy the franchising slot

[sullen berry]

nobody has said anything

clamoring for answers is a stretch these days

most likely there isn't anything we would know about Chengdu's franchise slot

[devout path]

I am assuming owl management is running around inside a room that is on fire

[sullen berry]

but it could go the way of Seoul Infernal

[plush grail]

kenobi why dont u buy the spot

[sullen berry]

what if I have no

We do know that China no longer has servers back in February

[plush grail]

L china W usa

freedom

[sullen berry]

and the chinese analyst/caster whose well spoken english Alan Gai understands the chinese teams will all be competing in Korea

they're doing everything to sustain the East region

maybe a lan

[loud elbow]

where did jkaru come from why does his name sound so damn familiar

[plush grail]

fusion uni

i think

[sullen berry]

he sounds like Jaru

[loud elbow]

outlaws clearing everything tbh

[chilly mauve]

Losing to shock first round

[sullen berry]

Jaru =/= JKaru

[loud elbow]

shu viol2t >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[chilly mauve]

I’m joking

I’m like the second biggest outlaw supporter

[loud elbow]

atleast glads are almost guaranteed to make it out of their group

as long as we don't have any tie breakers

[devout path]

Understandable

Don’t they also have to sell the glads franchising spot

[plush grail]

shu who?

[sullen berry]

at the end of the year, they'll just flat up sell the LA Glads franchise, maybe to another owner in LA if they want to keep the whole LA rivalry they've built, destroyed and reunited this season

which I'm guessing they will tear it down again if they can't sell someone on it

[plush grail]

so if la glads disbands

vegas will instantly go up a spot

because they cant be 20/20

they will be 19/19 then

[stoic bronze]

Bro is so desperate

Vegas is so bad it will be 20/19

[sullen berry]

idk surely rebird esports has to be the worst for this misplay

[plush grail]

legday is so cringe on cam compared to nekkra

really shows the difference in experience

[sullen berry]

nekkra's pokemon casting and tcg experience certainly helps when it comes to her colour cast

[cobalt thicket]

I watched glads vs justice

And the justice don’t even seem too bad

I thought they played pretty well

[sullen berry]

holy twisted minds vs nyxl so good

[plush grail]

justice will prolly be gatekeepers

[sullen berry]

they showed dogman onscreen who was wondering why he was on stream

[cobalt thicket]

That is?

Gatekeeping conteneders out of owl?

[plush grail]

they will be between the mid and high tier teams

[cobalt thicket]

Oh

[plush grail]

we had teams before

who were good, but always fumbled against top tiers

[cobalt thicket]

Yeah

[plush grail]

idk off the top of my head who they were

[cobalt thicket]

I see i thought gatekeeping meant like being the last ones always

[willow drum]

no

[willow drum]

i don't think

justice will be close to the top

maybe mid to bottom

[cedar oasis]

Toronto are the eternal gatekeepers

[willow drum]

dallas will be the gatekeepers

this season

fr

[plush grail]

maybe gatekeepers between low and mid teams?

[cedar oasis]

Dallas will gatkeep all other teams from winning

[willow drum]

ye ye could be

[willow drum]

😭 of course

with that stellar flex support

[cobalt thicket]

I see dallas winning this year

[willow drum]

dallas will gatekeep the championship

[cedar oasis]

Doesn't matter

[willow drum]

depends

[cedar oasis]

The goat demands another win

[willow drum]

on the meta

[willow drum]

viol2t needs another win

agreed

[cobalt thicket]

It looks to be similar to last season

[cedar oasis]

Violet the goat of being toxic

[cobalt thicket]

Winston rush

[willow drum]

its not

as of now yes

but dallas isnt playing now

and will have new heroes for other tournaments

dallas best hope is to beat spark in apac only tourney

and that relies on it being off tank meta

[willow drum]

he morbed on moira

never seen handbin doing that

[cobalt thicket]

Will the new support be available to the players this season?

[willow drum]

yes

[cobalt thicket]

Then we cant really say anything about what the meta will be

[willow drum]

which is why i said

it depends on the meta

[plush grail]

shut up sans

[hot onyx]

acting like Dynasty is well established with Prophet and Krillin lucio

no fuck you ian

[plush grail]

u love me

[hot onyx]

i love what your presence does to my win rate when it gets too high

[chilly mauve]

Mfing 2021 Houston

[pale field]

[cedar oasis]

Ur Winrate has never been high

[hot onyx]

Zensu can vouch for my 4.2k dmg lucio in a 5 1/2 minute attack

[north relic]

bro shot a hog

the Doug hog in fact

[willow drum]

His Hollywood death count has always been high however

[cloud latch]

london was a gatekeeper last year

[hot onyx]

there was no roadhog it was havana

[cloud latch]

atl was also a gate keeper

[hot onyx]

ATL and Spark will be gatekeeping every team away from the finals

[plush grail]

actual freak

[hot onyx]

you did not specify

[plush grail]

a normal human would know

that 6 hours later

is not okay

[hot onyx]

are you saying having autism makes me abnormal

wow ableism @ moderator

[plush grail]

i am that thing

[plush grail]

[pale field]

The sans desk slam is a classic too

[cedar oasis]

Get a room

No one wants to see a recreation of beauty and the beast expect the girls a twink

[hot onyx]

there is gay pornography with men less attractive than me with 73K views

believe me when i say there will be at least one individual out of all 8 billion people on the planet

that would want to see that

[cedar oasis]

Yea

We know that's ian

No one else wants to see that tho

[plush grail]

Dawg thats so fucking specific

[hot onyx]

research is a necessity

[cursive cypress]

Owl free tokens / skins streams starts ?

[hot onyx]

i will skin you

[willow drum]

home of phobia?

[limpid grail]

[willow drum]

No it’s just how do u know this

[willow drum]

Owls gone

It’s sad

Hopefully proper moves to valorant

[static pond]

But but what about tokens

[willow drum]

They’ll get removed

Your skins will prolly be refunded

[chilly mauve]

Damn

shit just keeps on getting worse

[tiny locust]

do you think they'd convert the tokens to premium overwatch coins? :')

[willow drum]

Doubtful

But that’s the best case secnario

Owls in trouble basically

Operations next season won’t be good if any at all

[uncut drum]

i wont mind that

got 4k tokens

[static pond]

It be crazy if apex just made a return

[willow drum]

Owl just did franchising too early

And got a bit unlucky

Cause covid ruined it

[balmy wolf]

fr

im gonna be sad if they close down

i doubt they ever bring back homestands obviously but im still mad

i had homestand tickets for april 2nd

of 2020

and then everything happened

[static pond]

I think franchising could work just what it like 10millon for a spot?

[willow drum]

It was 20 to 40 mil

Too expensive

[static pond]

Ya

Way to expensive

If they would have lowered it I feel like more teams would exist

As far as ik

Teams are still paying off that fee?

[willow drum]

Yep

[plush grail]

im pretty sure every team wants out

but because they owe blizzard money

they cant

[balmy wolf]

just be like chengdu

go ghost

ez

[plush grail]

my guess is

that chengdu managed to talk

and can sit out the pro am

and will just pick up one of the contendies teams for a super low wage

they went fast

agreed to a settlement

[tiny pollen]

why are there salary caps lmao

[limpid grail]

I guess it was to stop the inflation of esport player contracts but

doesn't sinatraa still have the highest known salary and that was before they introduced the cap or so

[tiny pollen]

He had 150k right?

P sure highest has been like 250k

Source: nothing

[willow drum]

no

[limpid grail]

there's a known higher

[tiny pollen]

smurf 250k

[hot onyx]

Proper moment

or smurf

[balmy wolf]

so that a bigger company doesnt just come in and promise crazy high wages to make all the best players join

[plush grail]

Isnt that already a thing tho

[balmy wolf]

kinda

the teams are so poor that the salary cap is only reasonable if they werent so poor

so when a new company joins they can do that

but the existing teams are too poor that they never meet the salary cap anyway rn

[willow drum]

Eh I mean sure

Some of the teams are not poor

Just don’t wanna spend in owl

[balmy wolf]

yeah

like the teams with big orgs like c9 behind them probably could but this point into the league nobody would want to

[willow drum]

yep

only big org thats still spending is nrg

i guess atl still kinda big

[chilly mauve]

Wait

What are we classifying the next support

fs or ms

[hard raft]

Lifeweaver reminds me of legday

[willow drum]

never say that

[olive edge]

what the fuck

[tiny pollen]

he looks like a valorant character

[balmy wolf]

i think its cause theyre backed by a huge ass company

[willow drum]

yeh

[balmy wolf]

Cox makes somewhere in the 20billion dollar a year range

[willow drum]

cox is sracked

[balmy wolf]

yeah

here in atlanta its crazy too

theres like 4 cox offices in a mile of my house

[chilly mauve]

i see why viol2t is considered the goat

and since hes the goat

he will be the best lifeweaver

in owl

because every character that overwatch makes

is broken on release and instant meta

[willow drum]

yep!

[balmy wolf]

i wonder if he will be in for season start

or if they will wait

[chilly mauve]

He will be there when the season starts

[cloud latch]

he hired a wage thief to the staff team that's why

[devout path]

Pretty sure yay costs more than the entire org

[cloud latch]

most likely

poverty league

[devout path]

He costs like 6 million

Or something like that I believe

yeah

def costs more than that org

[cobalt thicket]

I think its gonna be a dive keta

Meta

With the new guy

[loud elbow]

winton

[chilly mauve]

most likely not tbh, unless the stats r overtuned

lucio speed boost too valuable to get rid of it

and Kiriko survivability or Ana’s Ult rotation is also too good to replace

I’d see him in a brawl setting

[lapis oracle]

Who tryna run comp I'm plat 5???

[chilly mauve]

allows characters like rein to get highgrounds and his Ult is good when close up

[chilly mauve]

Wrong channel mane

[cobalt thicket]

I see it like this tho you can prolong the time your dive is going by healing from far away above shields and los (i think) and once your tank like winston gets low you can pull them out and they get immortality 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

And you can peel your other support

And for yourself too

But in brawl yeah too

[chilly mauve]

His Ult is basically useless in dive

[cobalt thicket]

Yeah

[chilly mauve]

he’d make a good counter to dive

[cobalt thicket]

I think its ass

[chilly mauve]

u can pull Winston out of his jump

[cobalt thicket]

[chilly mauve]

The most interesting part will most likely be his interaction with lucio beats imo

We might see more Ajax’s than normal

[cobalt thicket]

Hmm

Ive thought about this but i feel like his passive is the biggest letdown

You get killed by tracer and she’s full hp again and doesnt have to recall?

[chilly mauve]

yeah that’s why u don’t want to feed

it’s good for ur teammates if u play urself in a correct location

if u agro too much u might just feed the enemy team health

bets on if vegas has to re-do their roster or do a partial rebuild partway through the season

[plush grail]

yall

are so tough

talk to meirl

i will batista bomb u

[balmy wolf]

you think they got the money to do that with that roster

[earnest leaf]

well if you cut players you technically should be able to get replacements

also makes me wish that owl had a salary cap and floor

[plush grail]

contracts

im pretty sure they signed for the year

[earnest leaf]

and require teams to spend like 80% of their salary cap

so we don't get shitter teams like vegas that pay with scraps, then just have mfs like atlanta and boston fork over all the money

[wary crescent]

a open division team instead of a contenders team now?

[stoic bronze]

Omg, what if bunker happens again

[willow drum]

?

[stoic bronze]

Boost the bastion up with lifeweavers platform

Get a mercy dmg boost

[plush grail]

Bunker is not viable with 1 tank

[stoic bronze]

With sig shield

Or rein

[willow drum]

rare ian W

bunker wont ever happen again in ow

just can't

[plush grail]

Okay u boost bastion with a shield, widow fucks u from angle u cant defend

[willow drum]

also kiriko exists

means ur fucked

[plush grail]

Standing in 1 position will never be meta

[stoic bronze]

Mirror widow

[willow drum]

its not that simple

also im p sure lifeweaver wont be good

lol

we might see him in niche comps but

[plush grail]

So u wanna run bastion, rein, widow mercy weaver

If ur setup fails ur fucked

[willow drum]

lol that team comp just gets folded

[plush grail]

That comp is ass

[willow drum]

by ram comps

and monkey comps

😭

[plush grail]

Rein with mercy heals

Weaver is also low heal

And u have a bastion which soaks up bullets

[willow drum]

also sigma never

should hold up his shield for long

[plush grail]

Weaver will be ignored for a bit, they will then buff him like crazy and then bury him again

[cloud latch]

winston or ball just ruins that comp

[willow drum]

winston ball

?

[plush grail]

Even fuckin orisa ruins that shit

Spear mfs off

Doom too

Good luck staying on ur mario platform

[stoic bronze]

Ian loves balls

[noble nexus]

this guy went back to check old messages and still got it wrong LOL

I'm 18

fuckin homunculus

[plush grail]

LMAOOO

Love how LSD tried to defend u and he gets called a homunculus

[noble nexus]

idk on him for being an actual irl bonobo ape tbh

got my age wrong

now I'm madge

[north relic]

this makes no sense

you said you were 16 at that date

it hasnt been 2 years

[noble nexus]

yo

you ever heard of a typo

because like

6 and 7 are next to each other

[north relic]

i get called a homunculus when

you made the mistake

[noble nexus]

you get called a homunculus because you are one

you did that to yourself

wait no you're dumb

wtf

my birthday is in august

[north relic]

if its in august

one august has passed

since that message

wait august is 8

this is a sad day

[noble nexus]

are you stupid that was pre august 2021

I put too much faith in you

I didn't even think about it

[north relic]

tbh

it was a 50/50

if your birthday was before or after that date

[noble nexus]

if it's a 50/50 don't say it like it's a certainty

[north relic]

and i took the side that makes ian sound bad

[noble nexus]

chimp

[north relic]

if it makes ian sound bad

[noble nexus]

you took the side that made you look dumb

[north relic]

no

this speaks nothing to my intelligence imo

[noble nexus]

cool

I disagree tho

[stoic bronze]

Jesus

[noble nexus]

don't use the lord's name in vain

it offends me

[stoic bronze]

Pretty sure cowboy papyrus is the antichrist

[north relic]

I’ve seen sans he is Jesus

[noble nexus]

Sans is a freak

[wary crescent]

if you have a bastion on that platform
you just get shot from every angel and die

[balmy wolf]

put your rein up there

and watch him 360 shatter

[wary crescent]

might as well have the new supp flank
And pull the rein behind them

[balmy wolf]

just boost yourself up and pull

[static pond]

Why not just put rein over there as soon as he goes for the shatter

DONKEY KONG

[cedar oasis]

No shot ur calling me donkey kong

That's racism

[chilly mauve]

He won’t

And then people are gonna start complaining

so blizzard will buff him

And then people are gonna complain even more

[static pond]

Ok so

Apparently all shock players have visas

Just can’t go to na

[loud elbow]

yep, still visa problems

[north relic]

Seoul spark shanghai imo

[cedar oasis]

You can't reason with sans

He defies logic

[plush grail]

i fockin jomped

[hot onyx]

while i agree wholeheartedly with that statement, Fusion had more league points due to placing higher in all 3 tournaments before the playoffs

[north relic]

They weren’t top 3

[hot onyx]

only team to have a 6 map winstreak against dragons in 2022

i love spark but objectively #2 #4/#1apac and #3 > #4 #5-6 and N/A

[north relic]

Probably some s1 team has higher

[willow drum]

doesnt seem like it

finn says he doesnt know why cant go NA

and he thinks everyone has visas

not sure why

[hot onyx]

counting multiple seasons Fusion were on a 9 map winstreak before MM

[willow drum]

doubt its NRGs fault

[plush grail]

@hot onyx

[hot onyx]

what

[plush grail]

accept invite

[hot onyx]

oh good heavens

[cloud latch]

hey sans

where do you have titans on your tier list

[crude needle]

Is there anywhere besides discord to find overwatch groups anymore? I'm not highly social so it really sucks to find groups on here

[icy valve]

Wait what? Why not

I read the post

Something else has to be going on with Shock.

Do you think the league is asking Shock to play in APAC?

And that’s why they aren’t flying yet to na

Because if they all have visas it makes no sense to put yourself in such trouble the way Shock is going

The org is really failing San Francisco Shock players

[cedar oasis]

The org

The San money shock

[plush grail]

asisst check

[dim wadi]

As KJ or cypher should I be forced to put util mid

@hot onyx this is genuinely awful to look at

NRG is probably the cleanest org in all of overwatch

And in multiple other games as well

Doubt the org would stop them from going to NA

Also they’re going this weekend I think

I really need free tokens 😦 when owl start to send them ?

[balmy wolf]

regular szn

[willow drum]

the 0 and 10 genji

or the 0 and 7 widow

[cloud latch]

it's easier to get elims on genji than widow

plus sans got even more deaths

0-10 genji but both tanks sucked

depends which you interpret as worse, pacifist doomfist or hyper aggressive reinhardt with back mechanics into double hs

[icy valve]

I know that. But this whole situation from the proam is really messy. I know Shock is a very good team and org. But allowing your players mental health and their housing situation to last this long is not good for the players. It also creates the image shock is bad and fans will be mad while they actually will be one of the best team

[willow drum]

lol what

the housing situation

prolly wasn't under control

and nrg couldnt do anything abt it

obviouslly communications were messy since they didnt even know if it could happen

and i doubt the players are telling nrg anything abt the mental helath

[plush grail]

Sans likes blaming others for his shit performances

[balmy wolf]

does anyone know if the start times on the owl website for the games are in PST or do they change for your timezone?

[cloud latch]

they should change yeah

[hot onyx]

they change for time zone yes

[icy valve]

I am a reign fan but they play at 2:30 am

So really difficult for me to watch that

[hot onyx]

fake fan imo

real fans prioritise their live matches over their sleep schedule and mental wellbeing

[willow drum]

not everyone is a degen like u

[plush grail]

Be nice children

[sullen berry]

Imagine not signing Xerneas for mmonk

[plush grail]

Chengdu fact

We have no roster

And we don't want one

[sullen berry]

Best fact ever

I want one

[plush grail]

I want my own roster

[sullen berry]

I want see three Chinese rosters pound while shanghai sobs in the corner missing out

https://tenor.com/view/gangs-all-here-spongebob-lonely-friends-forever-alone-gif-9619934

[plush grail]

We're talking about overwatch right??

[willow drum]

yes ofc!

[sullen berry]

Your harem is not a roster

[plush grail]

I have sans in my basement

[sullen berry]

But it could be one if you pay them

[balmy wolf]

yeah you would have men locked in your basement

[plush grail]

Are you being homophobic now?

[balmy wolf]

very

[willow drum]

not a harem

[sullen berry]

But a potential roster that's more well fed than the Valiant is

[plush grail]

Sans and uvalo

And you are next

[willow drum]

illegal

also having uvalo in a harem is not good

[plush grail]

Why

[sullen berry]

It's funny you mention both my podcast cohost and a former guest but that's probably a coincidence

[plush grail]

Invite me for a episode

I will rant about vegas for 2 minutes and after that I will make u regret inviting me

[willow drum]

He is very ill mannered

[half glen]

if u tryna get better fps or having fps/input delay issues dm me

[cedar oasis]

????? hell no

[cedar oasis]

i dont remember bieng a guest

[sullen berry]

Not too late to join us in our team preview discussion next week

It's surprising how little has changed except Valiant roster exist and NYXL playing better than expected when you have fits and seicoe

[half glen]

if u tryna get better fps or having fps/input delay issues dm me

[icy valve]

Tbh if I can’t sleep I might watch it anyways. But that is just so early for me

[willow drum]

Yo shut up

Nobody here has frame issues

[icy valve]

Bro I have a 360hz gaming monitor with steady 300fps min at Overwatch

I am good lmao

[sullen berry]

Yeah but is it 420Hz 365 fps good

Also for the first time I'm more interested in playing dps to work out how to interact with lifeweaver abilities

Imagine atlanta pulling in lips EMPs so they miss

[icy valve]

God damn you have an insane monitor

And insane pc

[twilit oriole]

Jus trying to understand what you said

[unique moth]

I was asked what the best teams were I said in the North American region I replied with Boston Uprising Houston Outlaws Atlanta reign and the Florida Mayhem

[twilit oriole]

Why you tryna sneak Boston and Florida in there

[cedar oasis]

Tf u an about

Boston is the best

They can boom any teams mental easily

[chilly mauve]

No

[chilly mauve]

Including themselves

[cedar oasis]

That's when striker leaves and joins the best team

He then booms them so Boston can win

[heavy gate]

Toronto best team

[chilly mauve]

Didn’t even make it first out of their group lmao

[cobalt thicket]

Aka vegas eternal

[tiny pollen]

Florida crazy overated

If it wasn’t for pelican and shu

If shu didn’t have nano last fight for pelican

It was Torontos game

[heavy gate]

who is fr fr best OWL team?

[static pond]

Vegas

Owl prob

Will be stream on YouTube and twitch

Cdl announced there streaming on both my wild guess it be like that with owl

[full lichen]

Tbh, it depends on meta

[static pond]

Atl

Shock

Houston

Atl has veteran experience imo

Same with Houston tho

[uncut drum]

Yeah saw this

Maybe that is one reason for the delay

[heavy gate]

oh ok

[chilly mauve]

Yeah but outlaws even said during the game

The weren’t warmed up

Idk but they seemed way better later on in the game collusuem

[twilit oriole]

Damage control

Ofc they’d say nah we weren’t ready

[chilly mauve]

colloseo wasnt even close tho

care to explain?

i guess u can say hydron was subbed out

but still

i firmly believe that outlaws will dominate

(non biased standpoint ofc)

[twilit oriole]

Hydron and s9mm is literally defiants best DPS line this meta

They’re only playing speed so he can practice his tracer lol

[twin bloom]

Because it was a winston dive mirror

Lol

In the other maps wheir it wasnt a mirror it was super close

[chilly mauve]

true

[static pond]

Bostion will struggle

Decay tracer

[stoic bronze]

@plush grail more like Boston uprising fan
