[tawdry hamlet]

Idk skewed because I like skewed lmao

[earnest leaf]

that also annoys me

that they are forcing east role stars

they really just fucked this season

[tawdry hamlet]

McGravy is an example of someone who actually deserved the award, Jake I think should've gotten it in s4

[earnest leaf]

shit format shit rules

[tawdry hamlet]

Jake is the goat of team mates

[earnest leaf]

I think it was still in s4 when I had Jake on me team in ranked

he bitched for 3 minutes then left voice and then we started winning

[tawdry hamlet]

Unfortunate

Lmaoo

[dreamy cave]

Sounds like me fr

[tawdry hamlet]

Tbh tho, every owl player has fat ego in ranked I've found, same with former owl streamers. Comments like "idk why were running x into x" or "our x isn't doing anything these games suck"

I also watch a lot of apply tho so

Lmao

[tawdry hamlet]

Where as full time streamers who never played owl are a lot more lenient

[dreamy cave]

Idk. I watch alot of tank streams

Like ace of spades (if yall know him)

[tawdry hamlet]

Tank streams are diff tho because the role is ass atm 😭

[dreamy cave]

That's what I main tho

[hasty hound]

Bliss or skewed

[dreamy cave]

Noted

[tawdry hamlet]

I miss chipsa 420 quadruple backflip 360 off the roof fake tailwhip rollout slamming on the enemy support at their spawn

Classic times

Or Ball the t2 player doing the insane rollouts in ow1 on ball

[dreamy cave]

When I think of ball. I think of ameng

Amung?

Idr his name

[tawdry hamlet]

Yeah ameng was the original ball goat in owl but the t2 player who went by ball now goes by chazm the British guy is easily the most mechanically skilled ball of all time

https://youtu.be/qJG5RfAYeZE?feature=shared

He's still at it in ow2

[dreamy cave]

That is a goated video edit

[hasty hound]

Chazm gaps every other ball by a significant margin

no one is even close

[tawdry hamlet]

This is the original
https://youtu.be/s2W3uukvUKI?feature=shared

The reason I played so much ball 😭

I loved main tank who played like an off tank

His double boops are honestly just disgusting

[hasty hound]

Everything he does is disgusting

makes ball look like the strongest ow char

[tawdry hamlet]

I love when he pops out of ball form mid air and perfect tracking kills someone and goes back into ball form

As much shit as one tricks get they're some of my fav ow to watch

Like necros in contenders

Fun to watch

[hasty hound]

yea

there's one chazm montage that blows my mind but i cant find it

sadge

necros is so cool to watch though

these mechanical freaks

[stoic bronze]

Would Atlanta or Boston be better in this meta

[tawdry hamlet]

I love watching necros because super high sensitivity turn fast genjis aren't really a thing anymore at the top level like haksal

Top genjis now are more controlled

[dreamy cave]

As a atl fan, idk how atl is going to do. I haven't seen alot of gameplay of them and the Mets might change a little

[stoic bronze]

Wb Houston v mayhem

[tawdry hamlet]

Atlanta are the overall better team but this is a new meta for them so idk they could underperform, I generally see Boston as the weakest of the 4 top

[stoic bronze]

I think mayhem might win both my matchups but the hopium is too much to pred against outlaws

[tawdry hamlet]

Cause you know they went to 5 with shock right?

[dreamy cave]

I'm going to be honest. I've said it b4 but mayhem scares me more than any other team. To me, mayhem have always been atlantas rivals. So I have them Over outlaws 3-1

[stoic bronze]

Going to be a good meta for boston

[hasty hound]

atl stronger team, but Boston better at this meta prob

[stoic bronze]

I have spark 3-2 v london

[tawdry hamlet]

Spark either shock upset or get rolled imo

[hasty hound]

i think London rolls over the doom Comp

[dreamy cave]

By atl?

[tawdry hamlet]

By London

[stoic bronze]

Alright, I just did my preds but havent submitted them, my grand finals is fuel 4-2 mayhem

[hasty hound]

that

is a lot of faith in hanbin

[dreamy cave]

Wait GF preds are up now?

[stoic bronze]

Nvm, mayhem 4-2 dallas

[tawdry hamlet]

People glazing hanbin too much it'll be Houston Atlanta finals ez

[hasty hound]

i was about to say

mcd is not

the caliber fuel needs

[stoic bronze]

Mcd is not him

[dreamy cave]

Woah woah woah

I think it's honestly going to be atlanta and mayhem

[tawdry hamlet]

If hanbin gets a repeat with a downgraded roster he'd be so goated

[hasty hound]

I do too

[dreamy cave]

I honestly feel like mayhem is hiding the actual peak of gameplay they can output

[mental vine]

anyone would like to share their playoff prediction brackets?

[dreamy cave]

I'm about to make mine

[tawdry hamlet]

Like winning a second title after losing the best backline in the world would be wild

[stoic bronze]

I dont think Atlanta will do well, forcing hawk is crazy

[tawdry hamlet]

I think Boston and Atlanta will underperform

[stoic bronze]

Boston have kalios

[hasty hound]

i think boston will excel

Top 3 zar in league

[stoic bronze]

Kalios is a zar otp

[hasty hound]

twilight ljg backline

and decay genji kinda workig

birdrind is goated on soj

[mental vine]

damn is genji even in zarya playoffs meta LMFAO

[hasty hound]

its genji soj zar bap lucio

[tawdry hamlet]

It sucks everything is pointing to Atlanta doing the worst out of the 4 top. But Boston have generally been weaker all season so I have hopium

[hasty hound]

with kiri in some variations

[stoic bronze]

Fielder l bap

[earnest leaf]

why would atl be the worst of top 4

[mental vine]

like when did genji became meta LMFAO

[tawdry hamlet]

Mayhem clear and Boston have Kalios

[hasty hound]

Weakest tank i suppose

[stoic bronze]

Boston just cant play Winston tracer sombra dive as well as the top 3

[hasty hound]

they beat houston on it

[earnest leaf]

The only zarya with a meaningful gap above other tanks in playoffs is hanbin imo

and he has mcd sadly

[stoic bronze]

Sleeping on kalios is crazy

[tawdry hamlet]

Midcd

[mental vine]

as if illari is not gonna be used at all SADGE

[earnest leaf]

Assuming the meta is sojourn/genji/zarya/bapt/lucio atl can still win it

[hasty hound]

Kalios is on par with hanbin on the zar imo

[earnest leaf]

other teams will make them sweat but I think fielder/chiyo is just too op

[tawdry hamlet]

Atlanta went map 5 with da sfs cock

[hasty hound]

and he has way better supports

[tawdry hamlet]

[stoic bronze]

I would say kalios, someone, and hanbin perform best in the meta

[mental vine]

poor illari she only had play in times LMFAO

[earnest leaf]

atl went to map 5 with shock like w weeks ago though

[dreamy cave]

Damn wait

[earnest leaf]

by the time playoffs roll around atl will have had plenty of time to get things sorted

[hasty hound]

and Houston went to map 5 with london

soo yk

[dreamy cave]

I think boston are going to have to fight london 2 times

[hasty hound]

they've already beat them twice

First game was kinda close, second wasn't really

[tawdry hamlet]

Landon Spitfire

[earnest leaf]

I will say though

if atl doesn't win finals, I will be an insufferable bitch to their fans

[dreamy cave]

Bruh please

I ain't even that bad

[earnest leaf]

they should win, and I think they will win

[hasty hound]

Houston cannot win or else ana will be a fiend

[earnest leaf]

but if they don't I will fucking laugh

[dreamy cave]

If atlanta don't win. It's mayhem

[earnest leaf]

I kinda want houston to win though, so viol2t is solidified as the goat

[dreamy cave]

And you can mark that down

[tawdry hamlet]

Lip needs to solidify his goat status 🙏 and gator needs to be able to dunk on everyone and be smug after playing a villain character for so long and hyping himself up

It'd be a fun insufferable combo

[hasty hound]

Is lip not one of thr greatest dps players of all time at this point

[tawdry hamlet]

Yes

[hasty hound]

hes done more than enough to solidify his position already

[earnest leaf]

he is, but I wouldn't put him in overall goat status

I think Viol2t still has that on lock

[tawdry hamlet]

Only 1 title bb

Not yet 😭

[dreamy cave]

But listen, if boston has to play London twice in playoffs, do you really think they'll roll or get adapted on???

[earnest leaf]

boston will win vs london

[hasty hound]

they've downloaded london alr

[earnest leaf]

London's style preys upon weaker teams who can't just out mechanic them or out coordinate them

[tawdry hamlet]

Who are all the two world title players even playing still who could potentially get a 3rd

Smurf

And like who else

[earnest leaf]

rascal going for ring #4

2 as a player 2 as a coach

[dreamy cave]

I'm gonna trust yall judgment on this. And I stg if we're all wrong I want 5$ from each of u

[tawdry hamlet]

[dreamy cave]

Who's rascal a coach for????

[earnest leaf]

atlanta

[tawdry hamlet]

Lip Stalker Fielder Chiyo are too goated to fail never doubt

He was a Dallas coach last year

So he got ring there

[dreamy cave]

U forgetting about Donghak rookie of the year

[stoic bronze]

Rascal is the real goat

[tawdry hamlet]

Big Dong isn't in a good meta atm though

[dreamy cave]

Wym? He plays orisa

[earnest leaf]

roty between donghak and sugarfree imo

[tawdry hamlet]

Assuming it's zarya

[stoic bronze]

Orisa isnt meta anymore

Fortify nerfs did not do her justice

[dreamy cave]

Then what is?

[tawdry hamlet]

Zarya

[earnest leaf]

the supposed meta is genji/sojourn/zarya/bapt/lucio

[stoic bronze]

Soj,genji, zar, bap, lucio

[earnest leaf]

but no guarantees

[dreamy cave]

Yall really think zarya buble is going to dominate??

[cloud latch]

sadly will go to dong

[tawdry hamlet]

You just haven't met it yet

Haha buble

Get it

[stoic bronze]

Should be lenny

[tawdry hamlet]

[earnest leaf]

inb4 london rein comp hard counters zarya meta and london win finals

[cloud latch]

sad spectra isn't able to get it

[earnest leaf]

if london somehow manage to win grand finals I will buy a hadi jersey

[tawdry hamlet]

A Shanghai level of bottom to top I'd honestly be here for

Winless core to world Champs with landon

Would be goated

[cloud latch]

houston clears london in the rein comp 🥱

fearless best rein no cap

[earnest leaf]

don't rein mirror london

don't take the ego duel

[tawdry hamlet]

No kizzy on a stizzy?

[earnest leaf]

it's all they have done for two years straight

[tawdry hamlet]

Fr fr

[cloud latch]

I think florida could beat them

in the rein duel

[tawdry hamlet]

Rupal kind of goated tbh

[earnest leaf]

if a team trys to mirror london they will lose

[tawdry hamlet]

Tbh all of Florida improving so much over time is goated

Been a long time since a top team wasn't just a bunch of stars and was like actually built

[dreamy cave]

Dang I need to back and watch some east matches

[stoic bronze]

If Dennis havelka doesnt go to farway the league is fucked with its awards

[cloud latch]

florida and MAYBE houston can if they start hard scrimming rein

[dreamy cave]

I don't want to pred infernal wrong

[earnest leaf]

I think people underestimate the impact of trying to run something you haven't practiced

[cloud latch]

I don't think the dong has got it in him

[cloud latch]

florida practiced it before I believe

[tawdry hamlet]

I barely watched the east this year 😭

Sadge

[stoic bronze]

The role star system this year is so bad

[tawdry hamlet]

So many good players careers died in East this year

No shy or leave in na 😭

[cloud latch]

REA;

REAL

[tawdry hamlet]

Void 😭

[cloud latch]

just move everyone to NA 🥱

it's so cringe that shy and leave have to scrim players like mn3 and zest 😢

[cloud latch]

@hot onyx thoughts?

[dreamy cave]

U summoned a demon

[hot onyx]

[stoic bronze]

Zest is a fraud

Mn3 is goated zest is a fraud

Signed a hitscan simp

Mn3 is a beast

[stoic bronze]

Mn3 and fixa are the only real players on seoul

[cloud latch]

all of infernal are frauds besides the GOAT fixa

[hot onyx]

it is five in the morning i am too tired to explain why honey tastes better than shit

[cloud latch]

interesting how fixa (best player) gets injured and they start losing to teams like dynasty and a contenders team

😂

[dreamy cave]

Ima brb @ me if u need atl takes or comments

[hot onyx]

@dreamy cave Dogman or Fielder

[stoic bronze]

Dog man is fake

[tawdry hamlet]

Dusttin clears obviously

Smh

[dreamy cave]

[tawdry hamlet]

Although Dogman got fully replaced by iris

Iris just better

[stoic bronze]

Viper deserves roty

Viper and lenny rotys

[dreamy cave]

I like dogman for entertainment
But fielder shreds

[plush grail]

Also was one of the best flex supports with insane talent

[heavy cliff]

[heavy cliff]

TO FLORIDA AND HOUSTON

EVERYONE ELSE WOULD LOOSE TOO

[icy kestrel]

I believe Boston could as well and spit fire

[heavy cliff]

Also they might or might not have been sandbagging

I would only count games that really matter or basically tournaments and knockouts

and they dont loose those

Tournament stalk3r is real

[icy kestrel]

They’re going to be the first team eliminated

Lose 2 games

My pickems is just best

[heavy cliff]

[north relic]

Mega based

[heavy cliff]

[north relic]

HE HAD ONE GOOD SEASON

[icy kestrel]

[cedar oasis]

Fuel gonna win it all

Rush turned him from utter shit to barley passable

[icy kestrel]

Rakattack is actually decent

[cedar oasis]

Idk

[icy kestrel]

Was on either Boston or ny for like 2 weeks

[cedar oasis]

Dallas have the power of friendship tho so they win somehow

[icy kestrel]

Why did Dallas even move regins

[cedar oasis]

Money

It's funny that Houston has never won anything ever

[icy kestrel]

Why not change location then

[cedar oasis]

Money

[icy kestrel]

The come close

[icy kestrel]

If eternal can do it they can

[cedar oasis]

They choked

Idk why

Why even be a Houston fan when u know they are never gonna win

Like dallas is right there

Same state better team

[icy kestrel]

They a great team but never the best

[icy kestrel]

I wouldn’t say better

[cedar oasis]

They are better

Dallas have won stuff

Recently

And Houston have that xenophobic guy on their team

[karmic charm]

huhhh?

[plush grail]

There are 2 xenophobic flex support players in owl rn

[weary talon]

Hawk or Yung lean?

[meager onyx]

Shockwave. He's made more impact on his teams than hawk ever had

[cedar oasis]

?

Yea the year he was invisible on philly...

[little echo]

s3 titans after the runaway core left was the 2nd worst team in the league

the goat ttuba had a better squad

and that was his best year

where he was an average-slightly above hitscan shining due to sharing a team with fucking roolf and carcar

[weary talon]

S3 titans was

With roolf

Right

[little echo]

yeah

s3 shockwave was like a high B tier hs

ish

and after that he was never a goat

again

[weary talon]

The cockwave

[little echo]

he also wore the invisibility cloak for philly

in 2021

[weary talon]

Its crazy that carpe has 0 rings

[little echo]

carpe is like chris paul if chris paul was a role player for half his career

sadly

I agree

[karmic charm]

peyz or demon1 will win

or yike

The replies are saying zen

Who’s zen

[karmic charm]

let that man win

[karmic charm]

i think yike might have a higher chance than peyz

but depends how hard the korean league scene votes for peyz

yike has the western league backing tho

although

zen is 16 and won a world championship in 3 months

apparently

[heavy cliff]

What if they made sombras hack cooldown depends on hp pool? so like tanks would make you get a 5-9 second cooldown and dps are the normal cooldown, and tracer is like a 3 second cooldown

WHY IS DONGHAK IN BREAKTHROUGH PLAYER OF THE YEAR??

NAH

Im crying

fortnite got nominated for eesports game of the yaer

before overwatch

this is just sad

Overwatch is shit

Won’t be able to watch them all at it’s fullest since I work those days

By the time I get home it’ll be over

[meager onyx]

4 day series. 4 on Thursday 4 on the next. Then 2 then 4

[weary talon]

Leave a tab open at home

[tawdry hamlet]

Steelseries and corsair shouldn't be there tbh, custom keyboards clear both of them and their mice haven't been relevant at the top level like ever

Steelseries qck is still one of the most used mousepads

But it's so old that like

Tbh the steelseries qck and Logitech g640 are such ass outdated control mousepads that develop soft spots in like 3 months of heavy play but they've been around so long like every pro ow player ever still uses them

[static pond]

Oh i thought they were gonna do Logitech new mouse

[tawdry hamlet]

Imo Logitech Samsung and razer should be up there since they're actively used by like all of owl now by a large margin

[static pond]

Logitech mouse and headphones re mostly use in owl

Montiors I think is asus

[tawdry hamlet]

Second only to the teal airplane headset from sennheiser Nero always used lmao. I remember seeing that one so much

[static pond]

I only seen like one person use hyperhex

[tawdry hamlet]

Hyperx

[static pond]

Yea lmao

[tawdry hamlet]

Thinking about moth pog

[static pond]

Apparently someone use to sand there mouse

[tawdry hamlet]

The hobby of min maxing and perfecting your mouse is so addicting I got into it for a while

I used a g305 in a custom 3d printed body sanded down to be less slippery and with aftermarket skates with the double a with tin foil to get weight down

The 3d printed mouse scene is so cool tbh, you can buy a 20 dollar g305 and take it apart and unscrew the board and put it in a 3d printed final mouse shell and boom 3d printed wireless finalmouse

It's Just funny because some pros use like super enthusiast tier mice and mousepads in owl lik3 glass pads or artisan pads where as others just use the starter Logitech pad and a g series mouse

Yet they perform the same

I love mice

[weary talon]

When you’re looking for a good mousepad you’re looking for the one with the least friction

?

[tawdry hamlet]

It depends on the aiming style really, there's varying degrees of mousepad speeds and it depends on the player which they prefer. Some prefer a smoother controlled swipe that you'd get from like a razer gigantis or g640 or zowie gsr (basically default feel of mousepads) known as "control pads" where others prefer no friction and a harder surface where there's less drag but it's less controlled such as glass pads

It's all personal preference lmao there's a spreadsheet that ranks the speed of every mainstream pad out there

Pine uses a hard pad for example, hence why his aim is so like unique looking where as ans and Diem used soft, hence why their widow looks so different style than pine did

Not the best resource but for general speed comparisons at a glance it's nice

[heavy cliff]

nah i leave for 1 second

and i see mouse essays

and mousepad essays

[tawdry hamlet]

My hyperfixation posting knows no bounds tbh

[hollow briar]

What PC bro

I’m fucked

[stoic bronze]

This was like at least a week ago

[earnest leaf]

my mousepad is pretty nice, sucks it costed $80 (half was shipping)

[tawdry hamlet]

I thought he retired for military, sadge he just didn't make owl again after going to grand finals

I have an artisan hien soft for gaming and a gigantis I use for everyday to avoid wearing the hien while web browsing 🙏

Since hien was 100 doll hairs

[earnest leaf]

lol I have an artisian hien one as well

[tawdry hamlet]

I'm noticing my permanent trembling slash shaking isn't really compatible with hard pads tho 😭 my hand just naturally shakes a tiny bit even when mousing that is more noticeable on less friction

Even with lower sense

Also noticed it when my friend was showing me the micro circuit soldering he does and when my piercingfell out and I couldn't do either of them with my shaking lmao

[earnest leaf]

I wanna try a glass pad eventually but I just got glass mouse skates so won't do that anytime soon

[tawdry hamlet]

I wanna try a glass bad so badly but I'm afraid of shaking causing minor minor crosshair bounce slash drift due to being frictionless

[cloud latch]

I remember I was gonna upgrade my skates but I got too scared lol

[tawdry hamlet]

I use a viper ultimate with a lizard skin grip and tiger arc 2 skates but sometimes use the g305 with the 3d printed body and skates when I feel like it

It just isn't as comfy

[cloud latch]

bro is decked out

[tawdry hamlet]

Since holes and plastic are slippery and harder to grip

My main problem with the Logitech mice is the rubber groove scroll wheel is literally a dead skin factory

Have to scrape that shit out weekly 💀

I'm a casual player too I can't imagine pros playing 12 hours a day on the same mouse like ans, his scrollwheel was likely just straight cheese 💀

He also uses a g305

Well the Asia release of the g305 which was g304, but same mouse

ok after a bit of reading

[tawdry hamlet]

Ring 4 rascal let's go

[heavy cliff]

the mousepad and mouse rants arent bad

[tawdry hamlet]

[heavy cliff]

i dont mind it now

actually pretty useful

[tawdry hamlet]

Tbh I just get high and post about whatever I'm super fixated on and it ends up being super long.

Is a bad habit for interacting in new spaces who aren't used to it

[heavy cliff]

Well thay means it useful knowledge

[tawdry hamlet]

But here nobody ever cares so I just write books 💀

[heavy cliff]

since ur fixated on it

lmao

make it an actual book

I'd read it

Just a book with rants

lmao

ngl

i wanna rant too

but ill keep it short

so tldr for my usual rant is basically just

Ants are shit

if you like ants

ur shit

[tawdry hamlet]

[heavy cliff]

i hate rammatra for that reason

He likes ants

as his favorite animal

bru

how

who programmed this mf

get them fired

[sullen pier]

apple

[north relic]

which is best

[little echo]

WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER 🇺🇸 🦅

[full lichen]

ngl, that team with Donghak looking really good

[unique root]

zest and skewed

[meager onyx]

if I had to rankem left to right Tank: Smurf, Coluge, Mag, Hawk, Donghak

HS: Mer1t, Happy, Birdring, Hydron, Shy

FDPS: checkmate, Stalker, Sugarfree, Alphayi, Zest

FS: Twilight, UV, Skewed, Rupal, renko

MS: Viol2t, Chorong, Bliss, Opener, Lukemino

[cloud latch]

ermmm they're teams 🤓

[meager onyx]

Hs wins

or FDPs

[timid phoenix]

worst team is definitely the second one

[timid phoenix]

based on what

peak? how good they were season 6?

[north relic]

as teams

[earnest leaf]

why no rupal on team usa

[north relic]

if they all knew the same language

[timid phoenix]

yeah I wasn't taking communication into consideration

I just didn't know if I was supposed to look at the peak of the player or the s6 of the player

[north relic]

if they are a team RN

[little echo]

the other drafters colluded to cock block me

out of good american flex supports

[north relic]

(We flipped a coin and it landed on the us supp)

Majed was open

[hasty hound]

smurf best tank, happy or bird def best hs (i'd say bird), alphayi or stalk3r for fdps, fs twilight easy, ms chorong,

ezpz

[north relic]

It’s teams

Top down

[hasty hound]

oh

[north relic]

Ur the Boston simp

[hasty hound]

i think donghak team wins

[north relic]

So it’s 1 for you

[hasty hound]

birdring and alphayi

[north relic]

4 has donghak solo tank

[hasty hound]

yea but they have alphayi

[north relic]

and the other teams has zest checkmate stalker

[hasty hound]

actually no wtf 1 wins easy

smurf stalker twil bliss

thats so free

[north relic]

yea I knew it

[hasty hound]

who u going with]

mag team p strong aswell

[north relic]

My team

[hasty hound]

which is

[north relic]

3

[hasty hound]

so are u just

like unbenching guxue

because he would not be benched over hawk

💀

[hot onyx]

winston doom merchant

[hot onyx]

zest last is braindead

[meager onyx]

over who

[hot onyx]

zest is arguably 1st

after the last two seasons

[meager onyx]

im an infernal fan

but im realistic

[hot onyx]

that's masochistic

put zest on reign and they don't lose a map in msm finals

[meager onyx]

u could put anyone on reign

they have lip chiyo fielder

[hot onyx]

stalker superteam merchant

[meager onyx]

its hard to rank apac seriously bc its a joke

[hot onyx]

alphayi has four fleta deadlifts in one stage

rank apac based on matches that are not a joke

[meager onyx]

ok lets see

the msm

where they got out first

[hot onyx]

like against teams like Fuel Spark O2 and maybe Dynasty

[meager onyx]

they lost to o2 and dynasty

[hot onyx]

map 5 vs 3rd place

[meager onyx]

from being number 1

[hot onyx]

o2 was limit testing with the abysmal bracket

dynasty was when their primary shot caller and ult tracker was injured

messing up the inner team synergy

and still went map 5

doesn't count imo

[meager onyx]

zest is good but you aint ranking him over the ppl in that list

its a contenders team it shouldnt even go map 5

[hot onyx]

the contenders team is strong though

it's proving that they are still worth promoting to owl

[meager onyx]

ok and infernal were first in spring stage

[hot onyx]

apac funky

[meager onyx]

exactly

thats my point

[hot onyx]

ranking zest there is like putting lip below merit and edison last year

because of a funky region

talent speaks for itself

[meager onyx]

thats goin a bit too far

comparing zest to lip lmao

[hot onyx]

also using contenders as an argument is crazy when contenders teams have historically been better than a lot of owl teams in the past

element mystic, runaway, american tornado, o2

[meager onyx]

im dyin rn

[hot onyx]

both had to deadlift their teams to whatever success they gained last season

[meager onyx]

ok but im ranking them to other players not to their own team

zest obv the mvp of infernal but he is not winnin vs sugarfree

[hot onyx]

i think he is

i think zest holds his own and wins against all of them

or is at the very least 3rd

below alphamale and chadmate

[meager onyx]

tbh checkmate doesnt really play genji tracer so how tf do I compare them

[hot onyx]

that is literally checkmates specialty

tracer specifically

[little echo]

itsezpz have you watched mr checkmate before

his signature heroes include reinhardt and tracer

[meager onyx]

ok im wrong but tracer yeah just he doesnt play it all that often in these stages

im also mentally slow

[tawdry hamlet]

Checkmate

[tawdry hamlet]

Imagine if vegas and lav invested money into this season so the Korean contenders teams full of new talent and owl vets were just in owl to begin with and we didn't waste space on malthel

Na could've been more interesting if specific players were able to make na rosters and not be stuck in East

[tawdry hamlet]

My point is franchised league is a joke and prevents the best available talent from competing because teams are unwilling to pay for them. There's no reason there should be like 3 owl tier level t2 teams in apac when there's so many bottom feeder players in owl 😭

[solar escarp]

With all the rewards for the finals, including the old icons for Pacific and Atlantic.. looks like they might be all in for the league to go.

[unique root]

they’ve revealed what the drops will be?

[static pond]

He was a genji player

I think

Before Florida

[icy kestrel]

He plays rein very well

[cedar oasis]

Fixa was the one deadlifting

And belasrea

Mn3 and zest were 2 heavy

[heavy cliff]

skewed?

are we saying

[tawdry hamlet]

Thinking about aimgod

And how he took over after alarm, sad times

[cedar oasis]

Thinking about mcd
And how he took over after fielder, sad times

[plush grail]

i feel bad for aimgod

imagine being in his shoes

having to replace a top tier fs all of a sudden

[tawdry hamlet]

After not playing for a while and last playing for an actual potato of a roster

He subbed for team cc like twice then boom back to owl

[plush grail]

the pressure must have been insane

[tawdry hamlet]

At least Philly wasn't really a championship level team at the time anymore so it wasn't as bad for him

But still

https://youtu.be/NrqQap78PvQ?feature=shared

[plush grail]

lets just hope we never get another situation like this

[heavy cliff]

aimgod fixa

not the best memories

[cedar oasis]

Fym?

Fixa is the best ms

[tawdry hamlet]

They mean bad memories because aimgod fixa existed because alarm passed

So it's sad

In light of this: I was 14 years old and edgy making an out-of-pocket joke. Definitely not my proudest moment looking back upon it, but hope I can provide context and say that Aspen at the time was a player I tried to compete against. Also wanted to emphasize the importance (1/2)

As far as toxicity and bigotry lmao

100%

[karmic charm]

it is

because there are so many diff cultures in eu

and how common xenophobia is bc of that

[karmic charm]

there was also the clip of skairipa and hadi at the start of the season too

[karmic charm]

skai

[tawdry hamlet]

Indeed, falcons fired manager for being trans when they acquired a team in eu contenders, and then those 2 middle eastern players got banned for calling the caster bad things. The German guy is banned in eu tenders as well

[orchid wigeon]

So I’m starting to play for my college team, what comps are mainly ran now

[vale cobalt]

hey

[orchid wigeon]

I’ve never been in scrims or anytbing

[vale cobalt]

ppl texted toxic stuff after i got muted

everyone hates me and its ok ❤️

[vale cobalt]

zarya, reaper, sojourn, kiriko, lucio or zarya, genji sojourn, kiriko, lucio

u can also play bap instead of kiriko

theres one more comp that other teams play

[orchid wigeon]

Is rein fully out of the meta

[vale cobalt]

and its orisa bastion sojourn/genji kiriko/bap lucio

[vale cobalt]

he's hard to get value of in this meta

[orchid wigeon]

I only know how to play Lucio with rein ngl, is it different a lot with Zarya

[vale cobalt]

the reason behind this is to let your dps do whatever they want meanwhile you give them bubbles

genji has reflect which reflects bastion, torb, orisa spams if enemy plays it

[orchid wigeon]

And zarya fucks orisa right

[meager onyx]

Yes and not really

[vale cobalt]

in scrims no tank beats other tank since it's more of a team play

[vale cobalt]

in comp yes but not in scrims

[orchid wigeon]

Also sorry if I ask a lot 😭 I know fucking nothing

[vale cobalt]

it's alright

we got you buddy

[orchid wigeon]

So how come not scrims

Do they play more safe or

[vale cobalt]

in scrims you have your dps coordinating a lot

in comp they do whatever they want

you call it when to form etc.

[meager onyx]

Scrims are hella lot more coordinated than comp xd

[vale cobalt]

yes

[orchid wigeon]

I gathered that, in comp I’m just playing dnb dpsing

[meager onyx]

Comp is like deathmatch but you have an objective

[plush grail]

just play

genji

[vale cobalt]

@orchid wigeonso to summarize it, you can still play lucio!

[plush grail]

not meta

[hasty hound]

in what world is lucio not meta

[plush grail]

[hasty hound]

Orisa bap lucio + zar bap lucio disagree

[orchid wigeon]

I might have to flex to a dps depending on how our scrims go

I don’t know word for it

But ig change to dps?

[vale cobalt]

go bastion if things go wrong

[orchid wigeon]

If there is better support

[vale cobalt]

lucio is great

[heavy cliff]

lI would say you can run jq, Just get hanbin on ur team, how hard could that be

however they don't have hanbin on their team do they :))
