[uncut drum]

i belive

now time to go on my real account and make a real bracket

[vale cobalt]

lol

[north relic]

wait

spark literally has the freest path

to top 4

the have the worst 2 teams (imo) other than them

[heavy cliff]

im watching this nasa live on yt idk why i just found it, its more hype than half of this years owl matches

[uncut drum]

are you sure about that

spark off tank meta

[north relic]

yea

[heavy cliff]

NASA on a random ass livestream that started a few minutes ago

has the same ammount of views

as like owl playoffs

thats just unfair

[heavy cliff]

YES

YES

YES

[cloud latch]

THIS IS INTERESTING

[hasty hound]

Mind you londom havent even gotten close to beating boston once the entire season

but surely they'll do it in playoffs!

[north relic]

boston fan

so i dont listen to this propraganda

i hate london as a team

but i had a vision sadly

[hasty hound]

were you high or something

[north relic]

third times the charm

for londone

[hasty hound]

Wait i just saw

outlaws lose to infernal

yea you were definitely on something😭

[heavy cliff]

ok yeah this one is

just not

but the rest is good

[hasty hound]

I dont think spark beat london gonna b honest

London shit on houstons doom comp

why would guxue do better than fearless

[north relic]

cause hes chinese

🇨🇳

[hasty hound]

real actually

Shy and leave will prove they best dps duo in league

[uncut drum]

you do know it is not smurf on tank anymore

[cloud latch]

his name is lsd

[slow tapir]

💪

[hasty hound]

Says who?

We could very well run smurf queen/orisa into spitfire

[hasty hound]

not u stinky

[slow tapir]

k

[tepid ibex]

The east dick riding 💀😭

[heavy cliff]

I dont get why everyone sees colombia so badly at the world cup, they're not just carried by EQO, he might be a great leader, but the teams got talent too, i might be proven wrong, but to me colombia is one of the best teams except like the TOP TOP teams like USA CHINA and SK

[karmic charm]

reign 3-0 spitfire in a zarya meta where rein comps works better is crazy

[karmic charm]

bc their entire team is literally unkown

[karmic charm]

?

are u okay

the only reason spitfire lost to them in playins was bc they choked

spitfire played better on 3 of 4 maps

[weary talon]

I think

Spark is 4-0 everyone

Even grand finals

[hasty hound]

idk bird and smurf were popping

Iza was kinda feeding

but ljg showed up when it counted

decay perma locking genji was a double edged sword

but i think smurf and bird played better than london

[hasty hound]

I think at a certain point u just have to account for individual player skill over what meta is

then again houston almost got rolled so who knows

[rugged quest]

every map was close as shit anyway

bostons the better team on paper but saying that london havent gotten close is a straight up lie

[hasty hound]

yea i def made that up

London has way better coordination but boston as a whole isnt super coordinated

[uncut drum]

not frdwnr

[heavy cliff]

Considering draws in hybrid maps, can you have an outcome where a team playes flashpoint 3 times and has to play the same map twice in the same series

i've been wondering

[uncut drum]

he was not part of the official roster until like 3 months ago

[tawdry hamlet]

True, but there's like dozens of past team pics of him just use an old one or something or photoshop it super badly like they used to 😭

[heavy cliff]

does anyone have the thing that shows what the order of maps is?

its like controll

then hybrid no?

[tawdry hamlet]

Remember when they used to cut and paste heads on diff jerseys when they had no photos lmaoo

[heavy cliff]

then flashpoint

then push then escort

Right

and bo7s tooº

idk how that works

does it just loop?

[meager onyx]

Lol

They probably don't have one with infernal jersey

[agile sigil]

guys i cant press save predictions on owl pickems anyone know why?

[weary talon]

They go to 4

Maybe you put the scores as in first to three

[agile sigil]

ohhh shit

@weary talon it doesnt let me go to 4 wdym

[weary talon]

The finals

[meager onyx]

Final preds

[agile sigil]

ahhh thank u guys

[rugged quest]

dawg look at the echo skin

the hair looks like it was made in photoshop in 2minutes

i dont belive it

[weary talon]

The widow skin though

[uncut drum]

that is the consensus

cause that is a photo shop of bogur

[rugged quest]

reading the reddit comments its far from the consensus

no scepticism in sight

[uncut drum]

the post doesn't have much

but some of the twitter posts do

[rugged quest]

oh ok

[uncut drum]

but i think diablo is the collab

makes sense after cod got the collab

[tawdry hamlet]

Because over half of them are red names (little to no history in pro scene) if their name on liquidpedia is red it means they don't even have a page so people don't put stock in them

Also south America is by far the weakest ow region due to lack of players so like

Makes sense

Also dromr on colombia has the exact same first and last name as a former coworker of mine who sells hyundais now, wild coincidence

[plush grail]

they are actual

whomegaluls

[tawdry hamlet]

Half the south American team rosters are consisting of players who retired in 2021

Lmao

2021 was when contenders sa ended iirc

So that would make sense

[plush grail]

me when people don't rate shitfuck30 as a top tier flex support (there exists no footage of him playing ow)

[tawdry hamlet]

Mirror has dual citizenship with Latvia meaning he's an American Vietnam and Latvia citizen

Wild

[plush grail]

tbh mirror is any nationality

[tawdry hamlet]

Mr worldwide

Born in Vietnam, half American, and lived in Latvia for a long time

He must've moved tho since liquidpedia no longer lists Latvia

[plush grail]

liquipedia lists nationality

not countries he's a citizen of

[tawdry hamlet]

Yeah which is why idk why it listed Latvia for a long time

I thought i was mis remembering but found a reddit thread and no he did live there for a bit

[plush grail]

probably just removed it to avoid confusion

not everyone understands how citizenship works

[tawdry hamlet]

Logix and Colourhex should retire and give up

[static pond]

Most teams just photoshop a jersey lol

[tawdry hamlet]

They keep finding t2 teams

[plush grail]

surprisingly there have been 0 reddit posts about eqo being from israel but playing for colombia

[tawdry hamlet]

There's also 4 season worth of him in a Philly jersey which is the same org 😭

[plush grail]

i legit expected atleast 1 message about it

[tawdry hamlet]

He's from both iirc

[plush grail]

but i guess people became smart

im p sure he moved at a super young age

[static pond]

Philly what a Philly?

[tawdry hamlet]

Israel didn't even have a team this wc right?

[plush grail]

probably not

[tawdry hamlet]

I swear there were more Israeli players around

Kafee was the only other Israeli player I knew of tbh

Some of the sa and apac teams were entirely red names

dawg wtf

team japan is just

[hazy marsh]

Yeah

[plush grail]

cool stuff

[tawdry hamlet]

I wish se Asia region had more of an opportunity in ow, surely they can't be that bad

[plush grail]

for sure gives a less good country a big buff

[plush grail]

no esport infrastructure

[tawdry hamlet]

And location means it's either au servers on ping or kr servers on ping

[plush grail]

luckily i live in your walls

so i have 0 ping

when connected to you

[tawdry hamlet]

Kind of like middle eastern players having to play on eu servers with ping for a long time

[plush grail]

are any of the saudi arabia players involved in that drama from a while ago

[tawdry hamlet]

I don't think so. Those 2 are banned, yzn is still around despite that Twitter thread exposing him as a weirdo

Although I hear due to culture and social norms in those countries a ton of those players say less than ideal things regularly

[plush grail]

its just culutural norms yeah

but still no place for those statements in ow

[tawdry hamlet]

[hazy marsh]

Yeah

[plush grail]

making no bad comments requires less effort than going out of your way to insult and attack someone

[tawdry hamlet]

Indeed, also doesn't help Saudi tourneys pay more than like every other t2 ow tourney

So people will passively allow it to happen to make money's

[plush grail]

who was the coach who refused money from them

spillo??

[tawdry hamlet]

I don't remember

[plush grail]

based as fuck

but it sucks that he had to do that

he had to pick between paying rent or his beliefs

[static pond]

Saudi is pushing very aggressively to online gaming

[tawdry hamlet]

Also kariv is coaching Saudi Arabia atm lmao

That is funny

[static pond]

Wouldn’t be surprised if esports is one of them

[rugged quest]

absolutely not. Theyre in the lowest tier of qualified times for sure. Their team is just retired t2 players that played in the by far weakest region...

[plush grail]

sold his soul yikes

[static pond]

Is that allowed?

[plush grail]

coaches dont have to be from the counyty

im p sure

a few teams have foreign coaches

[static pond]

Oh so just players

[tawdry hamlet]

It is crazy how Saudi Arabia can just throw money at an industry if they decide they want to grow it. They're just like oh golf is cool let's spend like 40 billion on the most famous golf players

[plush grail]

HAHA HOLY FUCK

france

look at their liquipedia page lmao

i cant post images

they have like 15 coaches???

[tawdry hamlet]

Lmao

They got a coach for each coach

Fr

[plush grail]

this is either gonna work out great

or the coaches are gonna eat eachother

[tawdry hamlet]

Australia got the glads head coach and unter

[plush grail]

[tawdry hamlet]

[plush grail]

these are the same mfs

who took a good team

[tawdry hamlet]

True

[plush grail]

mfs had yaki, fastro, lastro kevster

still

[tawdry hamlet]

Tbf Kai dateh babel can really do that to a mf 😭

[uncut drum]

I know it is not possible but if they some how bring him on the team that would be fucking funny

[tawdry hamlet]

Also fastro is lowkey a feeder now

[plush grail]

fastro fell off

he was peak on fusion days

[tawdry hamlet]

I mean Florida signed the best genji in the world like a week ago so I doubt anyone would even complain if they did lmao

[plush grail]

signing rack as a content creator is peak

fiction

[static pond]

30 day contact

As far as I know are still available

Apparently that how Florida got whoru

[timid phoenix]

Nah it wouldn’t be allowed for rak because he was on a owl team recently

He’s technically still under contract

[karmic charm]

are u sure ?

his primary nationality on liquipedia is israeli

and he has an israeli name

[tawdry hamlet]

Pretty sure he's biracial

[karmic charm]

yeah he is

hes israeli-colombian

but im p sure his primary nationality is israeli

[plush grail]

leak his dna

[uncut drum]

@static pond @tawdry hamlet they can't as he was on a owl team before the date

[runic needle]

will doomfist thunder skin return for owl?

[hot onyx]

you are acting like Lastro and Yaki are good pieces

[north relic]

they both are

babel and marve1 the issues sadly

[hot onyx]

Marve1 off ping is a good piece

[rugged quest]

I HATE SEAN MILLER SO MUCH JESUS CHRIST

WHY IS BOSTON LOWER SEEDED THAN LONDON

[vale cobalt]

lol

im not saying

a thing

last time i said something i got muted @junior radish

[junior radish]

wbat

LOL

dms.

[vale cobalt]

ehm

sure

[timid phoenix]

?

why wouldn't they be

[junior radish]

wait no

than london

oops

[timid phoenix]

now that makes more sense

yeah the london shit is so stupid

[junior radish]

sean miller's iq is vegas' map differential

[timid phoenix]

that's generous tbh

[vale cobalt]

i have no comments

i've learned my lesson

[uncut drum]

Head Coach of the London Spitfire, Christopher “ChrisTFer” Graham agreed that his team was advantaged by the decision.

[karmic charm]

how does it show we are seeded above boston

because we got a draft before them?

[uncut drum]

GGRecon reached out to the Overwatch League and an OWL spokesperson shared the following: "Our playoff format took inspiration from other successful esport tournaments and all PPAs and PPA blocks are modeled to be as uniform as possible. Seeding was only factored in to determine at what time a team practices during onboarding, but all teams are receiving the same amount of practice time in equivalent facilities."

[vale cobalt]

i dont care anymore

this has went out of hand

i have no comments

[karmic charm]

spark is 8th seed

xdddddd

[weary talon]

Me when im sean miller and I’m actually dumb as shit but because i got connections in the business i get the job

[hasty hound]

Waiy what happened to bracket

[karmic charm]

so seeding isnt based on how teams qualled

its based on the draft

meaning

spitfire is a higher seed than boston

AND houston

AND spark

[earnest leaf]

aside from being a lower seed technically does it actually impact anything

[karmic charm]

yes

higher seed means u get first map pick

which for a team like spitfire, helps a shit ton

[earnest leaf]

idk in the end the better teams should win

and if they lose they'll just cope

[weary talon]

London being lucky

Spark gonna win

[karmic charm]

getting first map pick is a huge advantage tho

[weary talon]

Who’s London playing again

[karmic charm]

boston

[weary talon]

Gg

[earnest leaf]

yes but it's playoffs time, if no first map pick is doing that much then git gud idk

[weary talon]

London lose

[karmic charm]

rein rush works better into zarya than orisa

[weary talon]

Are we certain its zarya only

[karmic charm]

for boston itll be zarya or orisa

but considering they wanna play decay genji

the chance they play kalios zarya is high

[weary talon]

I honestly think

[earnest leaf]

decay zarya would be a dumb choice regardless

[karmic charm]

nobody said decay zarya

[earnest leaf]

decay played zarya in a meta that functions way differently than how it would if she is meta again now

[weary talon]

Considering the favorable rein zarya tank trade i think teams playing london will stick to orisa

Also

[karmic charm]

london have also consistently outplayed the orisa tho

if they just tighten up so they dont choke as much

[weary talon]

Against poorer team

[uncut drum]

chris says that it gives them such a advantage cause you pick their control map choice lost map 2 pick the flashpoint map they want and then win map 3 and maybe win map 4

seeding here gives them such a advantage

[karmic charm]

they literally outplayed houston and boston already

[earnest leaf]

outplayed still lost

[weary talon]

The houston london

Game was choking

[earnest leaf]

shock nearly beat atlanta

[weary talon]

After choking

[earnest leaf]

didn't mean shit

[karmic charm]

so like i just said

[weary talon]

Choking from houston

[karmic charm]

it wasnt lmfao

it was choking from spitfire

houston got outplayed every map

[weary talon]

Ok

I gotta say

[earnest leaf]

london going 0-2 out of the playoffs

[weary talon]

Hadi threw that dorado push

[earnest leaf]

unless they play an apac team then they might win a match

[weary talon]

What was bro doing the final minute

[karmic charm]

hadi threw map 2 of antarctic too

missing his shatter on peli genji blading

which allowed him to get like a 4k

then map 3 antarctic spitfire was up like 99-0 and lost

they threw flashpoint from being 2-0 then 2-1 99-0 and lost 2-3

in the boston series they choked flashpoint 99-0 twice and then choked push just as hard and lost in ot

[earnest leaf]

if they choke consistently in game deciding situations maybe they just are the worse team

[karmic charm]

i never said they were a better team

i said they outplayed them

[earnest leaf]

The excuse of "if they just didn't choke" is useless

[weary talon]

I think london is just a tough team

To beat

No matter who you are

Cause you have to adapt

[earnest leaf]

yes because they are nearly impossible to get practice for

[weary talon]

Wdym

[earnest leaf]

No one else is gonna scrim what london runs

besides london

and do you really wanna scrim london if they run completely different comps from every other team

[weary talon]

I heard that teams were booking scrims against srpeakcheck

[earnest leaf]

yea that would be the next best thing to practice vs rein comps

[hot onyx]

maybe it's because they are the better team

[weary talon]

Who are basically playing the same stuff

Also

Why has no one tried ball pharah

[earnest leaf]

viol2t go play bapt

[weary talon]

Back in goats when chengdu played that ball triple dps thing against goats it wasnt too bad

[earnest leaf]

then gg pharah useless

[weary talon]

I mean against london

[earnest leaf]

pharah would never get good openings vs how london plays

and sparkr could zone her out

[karmic charm]

also landon bap is kinda nuts

too

[weary talon]

Including mercy

Ofc

[uncut drum]

Instead of determining the seed for each team based on metrics such as the regular season performances, instead the order in which a team was during the Playoff draft decided the seeding.

this lines makes no sense at all

https://x.com/g8r/status/1706389229931040954?s=20

Gator (@g8r)

We did not and will not be signing anyone. We will be sticking with our roster that we made before the season started and I am very happy with it. If I thought signing a new player would make us win or improve I would but that is not the case. A lot of baiting and misinformation

[vale cobalt]

CRAZYYYYY

playoffs will be dominated by outlaw bois

easy

with bernar as the addition we're the #1 team rn

idc about mayhem gengu player or hanbin's zarya

we're just better

[uncut drum]

you sure about that

[vale cobalt]

yes

ppl think we're some mid tier team

big mistake

[tawdry hamlet]

Houston Florida finals imo, I would have said Atlanta/Houston vs Florida finals but I think Atlanta won't be as good as normal with this meta

Hanbin zarya is great and all but people have too much hope lmao

[vale cobalt]

houston florida sounds great but they will try to get their revenge since we'll be winning the first game

[vale cobalt]

too much hope is not good

as long as mcd is there, its always losable

[tawdry hamlet]

I just don't see how hanbin being on one of his best heroes will turn a mid team into a world champ

[vale cobalt]

fr

[worn falcon]

wait

why bernar in Outlaws?

[vale cobalt]

ye

cuz its zarya meta

[tawdry hamlet]

Fearless has one fear

Playing zarya

[vale cobalt]

lol

and sigma

he played monke on circuit

F

[chilly mauve]

I mean pelican is playing genji, happy sojourn, shu bap, and violet lucio

Pretty good if u ask me

[vale cobalt]

and bernar zaryaaaaaa

[chilly mauve]

The only concern I have is how much of a leader was fearless for them

And will Bernar be able to provide the same or more leadership than fearless

[vale cobalt]

violet was the captain on shock before so i do think he still is the captain

[static pond]

Really??

Tonight they were forcing him into the captain role

Thought *

[vale cobalt]

yes he was

[queen bluff]

I just wanna say outlaws gonna lose

[frigid gulch]

Who’s winning the world cup

[queen bluff]

Definitely not America

[frigid gulch]

I think the finals will be between saudi arabia and korea

[queen bluff]

Really Saudi Arabia

Korea probably winning

Anyway

[frigid gulch]

Yeah didn’t you see the matches?

[queen bluff]

Actually not really i only watched a few havent been that interested in that much recently

[frigid gulch]

Wc more interesting than owl especially this wc

Owl is dying

[queen bluff]

Is it?

[frigid gulch]

Yup

Peak owl when jjonak,pine,carpe were playing

[tawdry hamlet]

Saudi comps won't go all the way

China and USA exist

[tawdry hamlet]

And if they fail UK Canada and Finland exist 💪

[timid phoenix]

saudi is not making it out of groups

My personal stance on all this is last-minute playoff signings should not have been allowed. This was the first year ever without a hard roster lock, still unsure how or why that was decided honestly. I just wanted to provide context on the situation and the events that…

what is albert saying? they literally signed whoru? they were the first one who did it?

[keen abyss]

if it isn’t against the rules it’s throwing not to seize the opportunity

he thinks it should be banned but if it isn’t he’s going to make the no brainer decision to get the best genji in the world

[earnest leaf]

albert literally says that houston signed bernar first

but announced later

so albert said fuck it i'll do it too

[vale cobalt]

loool

[vale cobalt]

doesnt matter

they did it too

why tweet about it?

interesting person

[keen abyss]

he wants to make it clear that him as a person hates it

but him as a gm has to use it

for the best chances for his team to win

it isn’t that deep

comp teams will use the options that give them the best chances of winning

even if they personally hate some of the things

[vale cobalt]

*signs whoru

*says it's unfair

[earnest leaf]

you are incapable of understanding english I think

[keen abyss]

who are you?

stop being annoying

don't talk to me

annoying person I think

[plush grail]

be nice

[heavy cliff]

Florida are saying its unfair

Thats it

they have no obligation to play fair

especially when they're allowed to

[plush grail]

just tl;dr

albert said its cringe how its allowed but has to do what he has to do to win

[heavy cliff]

and even encouraged to, since this is deliberately put in there

[plush grail]

they are playing fair

0 rules were broken

[heavy cliff]

i guess

[vale cobalt]

i am being nice

i just don't want certain individuals to talk to me

u cant even spell his name buddy

what are you talking about

[plush grail]

Oh lord

[heavy cliff]

Im starting to think fielder has a REALLY REALLY good argument for mvp

and so does chiyo

oh ewait

[vale cobalt]

[full lichen]

Ngl, I think Someone deserves to win MVP

[vale cobalt]

lip >

[meager onyx]

Lip so overrated

[split flume]

are you some sort of stupid?

[meager onyx]

Bro isn't even the star of his own team

Like yeah he's one of the best dps

[split flume]

proper wouldn't be the star of that team

fielder's on it

[meager onyx]

Yeah?

that's what im saying

[split flume]

iirc if atlanta gets their ring then lip will have the most titles out of any player and an equal amount of rings to all the shock alumni

[meager onyx]

Nice 👍

[split flume]

good argument

[meager onyx]

That was your argument?

Oh

[split flume]

im just stating facts

[meager onyx]

Yeah im not disputing that he was one of the best dps

Just not the mvp of his own team

[split flume]

you called him overrated though

[meager onyx]

For the mvp race yes

[split flume]

well the mvp race is the flashiest dps race so

chiyo or fielder deserve it but it'll be lip

[meager onyx]

imo someone beats him

[split flume]

that's fair

but i am a lip rider

[meager onyx]

I feel like ppl are voting lip for his preformance over the last few seasons rather than this 1 but that's just me

[split flume]

i agree with that

but he also gaslit the entire league into playing sombra because he's the undisputed goat at her this season

[meager onyx]

Just his reputation of sombra scared alot of teams into not even facing him in it

[keen abyss]

bandwagons to shock during mid season 2 and the moment they stop succeeding in s4 immediately bandwagons to lip… interesting…

[split flume]

literal misinformation

i've been a shock fan since 2018 bucko

[keen abyss]

let me spread my narrative loser

[split flume]

the truth will come out no matter how hard the state attempts to suppress it

[hazy marsh]

Tbf he is the guy who allowed atlanta to be so dominant during sombra dive

Not to discredit ChiYo and fielder of course

[split flume]

chiGoat

[hazy marsh]

Yeah

[keen abyss]

chiyo’s just lucky he never had to play on the stage at the same time as the goat of main support

always avoided the possibility of getting exposed

[hazy marsh]

[north relic]

crazy how Dink was an nyxl fan s1 shock fan s2-s4 fuel fan s5 and a reign fan s6

[hot onyx]

i swear dink was uprising because of smurf

and they have a 100% loss rate vs titans

[hasty hound]

i think theyre voting for him based on the fact that he was the catalyst for the entire sombra meta

[cedar oasis]

Imagine changing teams

[karmic charm]

undisputed goat at her ever

[split flume]

yeah

[karmic charm]

nobody has ever come close to lips level of skill on that hero

[split flume]

i meant he gaslit the league this season

worded it weirdly

[karmic charm]

its kinda insane just how amazing he is at sombra

[hot onyx]

Assassin 🐐

[keen abyss]

only one of these teams is in playoffs

[plush grail]

imagine bandwagoning to better teams instead of worse teams

[hot onyx]

i fear boston got the easier route

and would've still maintained a 100% loss record if they faced vancouver again

[karmic charm]

[little echo]

I’m predicting every other team shits the bed and fuel end up in grand finals

then lose

[north relic]

suddenly reaper is meta that’s why

[cedar oasis]

Yea

[hazy marsh]

Because they also have
A ms who's good at lucio
An fdps who's good at reaper
And a hs who's pretty good at soj

[hazy marsh]

Honestly, I don't really care about teams anywhere close to how much I care for the individual players

Wrong

Dallas is going to win

Because they have the power of friendship(hivemind)

it's just ironic that he signed whoru while saying it should not be allowed

it's like saying it's a bad thing but still does it lol

interesting

Gotta do what you gotta do to win

[timid phoenix]

I mean that is what he’s saying

And I understand why he did it if houston were also signing someone

i understand that but i just found it very funny

It’s the leagues fault for even allowing this at all

yes i do too

So true

it's just that him tweeting about it after signing whoru made me laugh

yes

and we all know who to blame

i have no comments

If the league stays

We can see a lot of skins leaving

Mostly because teams will leave most likely apac

It bundle with a fuel rein

[stray quarry]

sp9rk1e skin

YIPPEE

[sullen berry]

did edison also play reaper too or was it mostly sojourn during playoffs

[uncut drum]

the only connection is the blue flames. London had parts of a plane on their one, dragons had a dragon tattoo, the shock had the lighting on the doom arm and then the hog was a full shock. i checked and not even one fuel logo somewhere. they could have made an on-fire logo on the back. this feels like a copout skin. i think it is a cool skin but no relation to the team at all

11:30 Pacific time -> 1:30 Cst

[frigid gulch]

Well he’d have to deal with quartz widow

[frigid gulch]

They’re literally 7-0

What is he gonna do @tawdry hamlet

Play sombra?

Against pharah

[hot onyx]

hey jamie pull up the lip pharmercy emp double kill on jinmu and yveltal on illios lighthouse

[timid phoenix]

lip is the greatest hitscan in the world

and SK would dominate Saudi

[rugged quest]

Yeah lip must be so concerned about t2 widow

[hot onyx]

saudi would lose to multiple contenders korea teams.

[earnest leaf]

didn't toronto shit on essentialy the saudi team in pro-am

[hot onyx]

rule 14: do not argue with trolls, it means they win

[karmic charm]

against literally some of the worst eu teams xd

[hot onyx]

saudi team minus sirmajed and the pedophile

with lbbd7 and slay instead

[karmic charm]

surely yznsa should get banned for being a pedo too

[rugged quest]

they beat nyxl but lost to toronto yeah

[hot onyx]

s*natraa should be banned from valorant too

[karmic charm]

no team will take him

and multiple casters said they would refuse to cast if he played

[hot onyx]

i swear he was a content creator for sentinals

[karmic charm]

so he wont ever get on a team again

he was until early 2022 iirc

oh

early this year

he left in january

there was no announcement of it tho

[tawdry hamlet]

W diya

[tawdry hamlet]

I cannot be the only one who thinks Saudi players get away with shit because Saudi is the only country putting money into overwatch

There has been like 4 different dramas with Saudi orgs facing no actual repercussions whatsoever despite being fully in the wrong. Not to mention yzn is still playing despite being a literal pdf file and the players that insulted the caster only got punished after the entire community lost their minds about it

Just sucks t2 ow in eu is literally go broke or passively be chill with human rights violations to pay rent

[tawdry hamlet]

Also bffr quartz widow is dumpstered by any competent owl widow 💀

Delusional

If lip can dumpster hydron on widow I don't see quartz doing anything 💀

[frigid gulch]

Bro wdym hydron is literally ass no way your using him as a comparison 🤣

[frigid gulch]

Quartz got an offer from the florida mayhem as a hitscan

[frigid gulch]

Would’ve been great if you said ‘happy’ on widow since it’s his thing but lip just literally plays everything

[flint pagoda]

No way they already have merit

Whoru makes a lot more sense to sign for a genji meta

[frigid gulch]

They already signed him

[flint pagoda]

Yeah yeah

[frigid gulch]

Quartz literally is the best eu hitscan

[flint pagoda]

I mean replace both dps right before the playoffs?

Doesnt sound the best
And if they do replace one it would be checkmate for a better genji

Which they did

[frigid gulch]

Replacing one wouldn’t matter doesn’t it

[flint pagoda]

Why not

[frigid gulch]

Also when is owl ending ?

[flint pagoda]

The season or completely?

The season october 2nd

[frigid gulch]

Completely

Didn’t they say

They’re paying teams

To quit

Or sum

[flint pagoda]

Well teams might leave after rhis season so it could be the last one

[flint pagoda]

They can get money and exit the league yeah

If enough teams stay it might not end though

[frigid gulch]

Heard a theory that when owl ends they will like completely remake it or something like how valorant vct is

[flint pagoda]

I hope it wont end now but it’s probably not very profitable

[frigid gulch]

And actually make it inclusive with it not being 90% NA teams

[frigid gulch]

ill be hoping for it to end and a remake to happen who knows it might be even a 100 times better

[flint pagoda]

If it does end I hope something like this happens and it wont be the end of competitive overwatch

[frigid gulch]

I don’t ever think competitive overwatch will end till overwatch itself ends

It’s highly likely that they will just remake the whole thing and make it better

[flint pagoda]

Hopefully

Most importantly keep the skins coming

[tawdry hamlet]

Idk if you've ever seen lip off sombra the way you are talking about him 💀. He's literally near S tier on every hitscan

[marsh plaza]

lip best widow sombra soj

[tawdry hamlet]

Be fr he can match or clear every hitscan in the world

[flint pagoda]

Hoping to see some widow in the playoffs and grand finals tbh

[earnest leaf]

hydron will clear the sombra otp fraud that is lip in WC

[flint pagoda]

Hydron lost to the rein otp

[tawdry hamlet]

Hehe

I'm just saying a pedophile on pharah and quartz aren't doing shit against lip, then you add in the fact that sk also has the best backline by a mile and fearless

[flint pagoda]

I’m cheering for mayhem but wouldve been nice to see outlaws vs mayhem a bit later and not first game

[marsh plaza]

😂

[rugged quest]

source?

[tawdry hamlet]

Americans have too much hope, and I'm an American

[rugged quest]

most likely he was just let known that he is considered, fucking lhcloudy was told the same while florida already have the clear and cut best most flexible tank in the league

doesnt mean anything
