[old zenith]

I play kiriko mercy and lucio can someone tell me who is the main or flex support I'm getting so many different answers and idk who is right

Can someone help me understand

[balmy wolf]

Main support are Lucio and brig for example and flex supports are Ana, bab. Flex support is the one who does most the healing basically.

[hazy marsh]

Flex: Bap, Ana, Illari, Kiriko, Zen,
Main supp: Mercy, Lucio, Brig, (Lifeweaver?)

[balmy wolf]

I think LW is flex cuz all he does is heal

[hazy marsh]

That's not what makes a flex vs main supp

You see Zen's also an FS

[balmy wolf]

Yes

[hazy marsh]

The MS are defined by their ability to get value without really good aim

[balmy wolf]

I mean Lucio seems like a mechanically heavy support

[hazy marsh]

Corrected

[balmy wolf]

Hm, that’s just sounds weird to me idk

[hazy marsh]

Yes, Lucio is mechanically heavy, but his main value is speed

[balmy wolf]

I’ve always thought main supports are those that provide value outside of healing

[hazy marsh]

Yes, I think that's a good way to look at it

Healing and damage, that is

Since zen's value is more heavy on damage

Both through his primary fire and discord orb

[balmy wolf]

Since he does a lot of damage, he counts as a fs?

[hazy marsh]

I don't know the exact reasons for their categorizations like that but having been involved in the scrim scene and watched pro play etc. it is very clear that those are how the heroes are categorized

And what I said is what I've either heard or noticed as the connecting factors

[balmy wolf]

Yeah pros do count his as fs

So I’m not that off. I kinda understand the difference.

[hazy marsh]

Supports can also be categorized by sheer healing, but that categorization doesnt work as well for scrimming, but probably better for comp players

Main and off heals

[balmy wolf]

Wdym

So instead of flex and main, it’s main and off?

[hazy marsh]

Main heal is ana, bap, LW, Kiri

[balmy wolf]

I think that’s just confusing since we already use main for another type

[hazy marsh]

No

[balmy wolf]

People in my game already don’t know what’s main and what’s flex

[hazy marsh]

Yes

Because they dont scrim

[balmy wolf]

Neither do I

[hazy marsh]

Or know enough about high level play in genersl

[balmy wolf]

I get yelled yesterday. They said “can you go main support?” And I was on Lucio

[hazy marsh]

Yes, that's just someone being confused

[balmy wolf]

Yeah

[hazy marsh]

Main supp and main heal are very different

[balmy wolf]

I’ve never heard anyone use main heal term before ngl

[hazy marsh]

Interesting

Yeah that's what most comp players should be interested in tbh

Since in comp you usually get the best value with 1 main heal and 1 off heal

[balmy wolf]

I think they should just learn what pros use for terms

[hazy marsh]

Problem: they're not interested enough to learn

[balmy wolf]

Like bab Lucio? I’d just say that’s FS and MS lol

[hazy marsh]

Bap and lucio is both a main heal off heal and a flex supp main supp duo

It's two different ways of categorizing the heroes for different purposes

One is just for 'oh, is this character picked for high healing or not'

And the other one stems from the nature of high level competition

[balmy wolf]

One for high healing and one for utility

[hazy marsh]

Yes

And mercy is NOT a main heal

Despite many comp players thinking that

[balmy wolf]

She’s a main support. Big difference

She’s a main support off healing hero

[hazy marsh]

Yes

You've got the point

[balmy wolf]

She’s mainly used for her blue beam

[balmy wolf]

Glad I do. Thought I wouldn’t lol

[hazy marsh]

I'mma dm you a full list of which of either each hero is rq

[balmy wolf]

Cool

[old zenith]

Thx veskari one more question I knew kiriko was different from Marcy and Lucio so is Mary and Lucio main support because they both have AoE healing and marcy and Lucio are kinda the same sense they can switch from healing to damage buff or speed boost

[rugged quest]

yeah i said that

[old zenith]

It's easy to play Marcy but how should I play Lucio the only time I speed boost is at the start of the game and the rest is healing throughout the match

And is kiriko flex because she does more damage but less healing Marcy dose less damage and more healing and Lucio is in the middle

I need all these questions to be asked because I've been hard stuck bronze 5 since season 1 of overwatch 2

maybe on new patch

that was outdated ow1 thinking pre-s9

she was insane at giving a dps insane uptime and be able to hard greed positioning with the high amount of consistent healing she could give with no downside

blue beam is a nice cherry on top but imo her main value comes from making 1 dps a raid boss

That'd be such a wild throwback to see in 2024

Pretty much falcon running Winston

And destroying wag

[wispy yacht]

[static pond]

But just scrims and most likely testing out comps wag running ball

Because apparently rn it ball, Winston and dva

Are getting scrim

[hybrid hollow]

Even in the west too

From what I watched the only team to play rush into the ball or winton is spraycheck

Other than that it's dva or ball mirror

[abstract wren]

Hi, I don't know if this is the correct channel to ask, but I wanna know if there's a team that is looking for a support, I'm looking for a team to play rankeds and tournaments:DD

[sonic charm]

Yap, Yapping and Yapper are slang terms of the verb "to yap" whch means to talk excessively with little substance. The concept of yapping or someone yapping

[static pond]

So random thing it looks like team falcon making move is cs2 and rocket league picking up some very known players

[rugged quest]

In rocket league they actually have a local roster and have been involved in the t1 scene for some time but in cs and overwatch yeah

In cs2 they bought EU talent since its the top region and inserted a single ksa player in but he was holding them back so hard he got benched

[worn falcon]

Were the games streamed?

i missed some korean games

[hybrid hollow]

Saudi wants to take over esports lol

I mean they have to money so why not

Does anyone know of owcs will be played on separate patches like owl or will it just be the normal live patch

I assume its the patch that is live at the beginning of x event

but i cant confirm

He's talking Abt like players retiring now

It could be anyone tbh a lot of great players haven't been seen on any rosters nor have they made announcements about regions they want to play in

[fathom igloo]

It's mostly because some tournament rules say you can't stagger people

[uncut drum]

that is not a rule in any tournament

[uncut drum]

there is no rules

teams do it when needed

[fathom igloo]

yes it is?

at least in scrims

[hybrid hollow]

What scrims are you watching or playing??

Staggering is like a key part of high level play

Staggering can be crucial to winning a map especially in koth

[uncut drum]

i have see it happen in scrims what are you on about

[fathom igloo]

In the scrima I've been in it wasn't allowed

Danny

[balmy wolf]

Nothing against rosemary but they couldn’t find anyone better…?

Nekkra

Tbh wouldn’t Dustin or lemonkiwi be better?

[stray quarry]

they’re existing caster duos I think

[keen abyss]

not lemon

i wish we could get more ex-pros as casters

[balmy wolf]

You know anyone that is actually good?

Custa

Over nekkra

Any day

[keen abyss]

i feel like to reach the next level of casting it'd be good to have someone who actually understands the ins and outs of ow

at the highest level

[balmy wolf]

So why is nekkra there?

[keen abyss]

ex coaches and maybe pros or igls

[keen abyss]

why are any of them there

[balmy wolf]

Custa is great. Why isn’t he there? Cuz he lives in Australia?

[balmy wolf]

Cuz the others are actually really good

[keen abyss]

who knows

[balmy wolf]

People that watched owl

[keen abyss]

i feel like we havent seen really good yet

[balmy wolf]

We know who’s good or not at this point lol

[keen abyss]

uberx is an iconic duo

but we've only seen people who've actually experienced the scene at its highest level cast once or twice

i wonder what it'd be like to see unter cast

with a little bit of training

[rocky tundra]

Did Blizzard really do this to Hanzo? hs doesn't kill anymore?

[weak frost]

will twisted minds field an entry for owcs or are they just gonna circlejerk in the saudi league

[robust patio]

i think they might play in emea

what's wrong with nekkra can't stand a woman caster in OW?

she is fine with jaws if you don't want to hear her mute the stream

[round shadow]

more runaway victims i fear

[wooden jackal]

I've got some signed shit from the Philly fusion, I think from after the inaugural season

a full size team poster and then two index card ish sized rosters, all three signed by all the members of the team

y'all think they worth anything?

[rugged quest]

Why are you acting like its the hottest take in the world lol

nekkra doesnt have deep understanding of the game and her analysis is pretty much on the level of "x has x ult, x swapped to x"

[fathom igloo]

Because if it was any other person who was a man they wouldn't say anything

[rugged quest]

The other casters have better understanding of the game yes.

she is positive ig but thats rly the only thing she has going for her

there are way better hypemen and analysts

[fathom igloo]

Tbf to be a color caster you don't really need that big of an understanding like if you have a simple understanding it's fine and this is coming from an ex color caster

[rugged quest]

Yeah im not throwing my monitor out of the window every time theres shallow casting but its just my preference

[fathom igloo]

I also didn't mean to sound like he was being a sexist I just find it annoying when people hate on a certain caster because of their gender

[rugged quest]

Yeah sexism of any level isnt okay but he didnt say anything that can be directly interpreted as sexist motive

infact he even suggested an another woman as a better option

[fathom igloo]

Yeah that was my bad I had just woken up lmao

Tbf I honestly feel bad for lemon

[hybrid hollow]

Stream getting banned in 30m

if super cast we're gonna lose sponsors that we never had

[sullen berry]

wolf and achilios are REALLY good, I knew their time together in OWL never ends

but I'm super sad no AVRL and Pixie

who only appeared once in 2020 because they were told they would need to be there for the 2020 Asia homestands but then COVID threw that all out the window the day they were about to leave

[full lichen]

What about Danny Danny Lim Lim

[worn falcon]

Rich and Kenobi too :(

It's gonna be huh...interesting to watch Ninek casting

I don´t remember if Unknown already casted tho

[hot onyx]

unknown did casting jobs for contenders korea last year iirc

[sullen berry]

no more translators, since unknown and gclef are apparently really good at it (I wonder if it's because they're korean)

[sullen berry]

they didn't deserve to lose out like this

blizz can only afford to sign up full time casters to cover both regions TOGETHER

[worn falcon]

They were so fresh when i saw them and good chemistry too

[sullen berry]

meanwhile I think because Asia has technically three regions in Japan Korea and not China

they get three english pairs

[worn falcon]

yup

Oh well, can't ask much to a reboot of the league, hopefully coming years they improve

The fact they might share the replay codes would be an improvement

you can't save this man's career, time to start a new one on a team that's going to get slammed

[worn falcon]

Slammed by the fraud Crusty

Oh hey they got SFS on playoffs

[tawdry hamlet]

Gee I wonder if translating Korean is easier when you're Korean

[balmy wolf]

You’re trying to make me seem sexist or something? I don’t think she’s a good caster and it’s not because she’s a woman. I even said lemonwkiwi would be better and she’s a woman 🫠

[balmy wolf]

If we’re being honest, she might’ve just gotten the job cuz we seen diversity

Because there are definitely better casters out there

[tawdry hamlet]

She was casting eu contenders for like 2 years prior to getting the owl job, same with lemon kiwi, I think it was just natural moving up the chain as old casters left and spots needed filling

[hybrid hollow]

What if they weren't available?

[balmy wolf]

All of them? That’s just unfortunate

[balmy wolf]

I’m just surprised a caster as good as Custa didn’t get a job

[hybrid hollow]

I mean it's possible plus I reckon it's easier to acquire someone who was already working under the ow scene

[hybrid hollow]

He probably doesn't want to or is playing in owcs

[balmy wolf]

They all did tho

[tawdry hamlet]

He probably didn't want the job or wanted more than owl can afford

Owcs

I mean

[balmy wolf]

Alright that’s fair if it’s the case

[balmy wolf]

I don’t think he would ask to be paid more than uber or mr X

Now that I think about it, maybe lemon is casting eleague again.

[hybrid hollow]

Actually he maybe a co streamer as well there's a lot of reasons why custa specifically wouldn't be available

[fathom igloo]

I'm sorry man my brain this morning was all scattered I wasn't trying to do anything like that

[tawdry hamlet]

I would just assume given he was literally a desk host, there's a reason he's not there since he'd be there if they wanted him

Danny I could see being cut for costs

But custa would have to say no I'd think

[balmy wolf]

Thanks for apologizing dude. It’s online here and being accused of anything could get you banned so fast 😅

[tawdry hamlet]

But they've let Brenshow go before so it isn't like they are good at keeping broadcast talent so who knows maybe they just didn't pick him up lmao

But i doubt it

[balmy wolf]

I’m really looking forward to owcs. So many strong teams playing in it

[tawdry hamlet]

When more dogman casting I demand mr Bowerman

[balmy wolf]

YES!

[hybrid hollow]

I'm interested in APAC and EU

[balmy wolf]

Same

More

[red moss]

YOUR PFP

[balmy wolf]

Like NA has Toronto but that’s it really

[red moss]

WTF IS THAT ANIME CALLED I WAS OBSESSED IN HIGHSCHOOL

[hybrid hollow]

I think Toronto just runs NA unless they pull the craziest choke ever

[tawdry hamlet]

The dusttin bowerman show format wasn't sustainable financially or in ow since ow esports scene isn't big enough but the few weeks of episodes were goated content

[balmy wolf]

I have no clue

[tawdry hamlet]

Gtdaal is intruding in the sweaty esports nerd chamber

[balmy wolf]

I use to watch him cast contenders

And eleague last year

[red moss]

[tawdry hamlet]

Over here, I'm the alpha

[red moss]

i’ll go back to… general chat…

[balmy wolf]

Oof

Take care

[hybrid hollow]

What known players are available for na still

[tawdry hamlet]

Aspire

[hybrid hollow]

imagine

[balmy wolf]

Hydron, coluge, s9mm, seeker, Ultraviolet, ojee, chopper

You know

A few

And maybe more Koreans would play there?

Idk…

[hybrid hollow]

Idk

[balmy wolf]

Oh

Hawk

[hybrid hollow]

bc besides from money why would you play in NA

[balmy wolf]

Idk how I forgot about Hawk

[balmy wolf]

Because Korea has way too much talent for two spots so some go play outside to have a chance.

[hybrid hollow]

Well it's not like you need an org to play so Hawk, Seeker, s9mm, uv and ojee might just register as a FA team

[balmy wolf]

I don’t know about the dates.

Can they still?

[hybrid hollow]

I think match 1st is deadline for na

[balmy wolf]

And eu

I believe

Who you cheering for to win it all?

[hybrid hollow]

Uhh

Idk

I guess Toronto

[balmy wolf]

It’s a strong team so possibly

Some teams are playing in both eleague and owcs. That’s gonna be hard for them I imagine

[hybrid hollow]

plus I think the meta favors them mainly bc Lenny and someone can play anything it seems

[balmy wolf]

Lenny can play genji and tracer very well but that’s it really. His mei is to be desired

[hybrid hollow]

I mean it's solid

[balmy wolf]

Eh

[hybrid hollow]

His echo is nice too

[balmy wolf]

Yeah

[hybrid hollow]

his blizzards are horrible tho

[balmy wolf]

Lol

Someone is very flexible so they got that covered

[hybrid hollow]

That match on circuit was a hard watch

[balmy wolf]

Flash ops?

[hybrid hollow]

yeah

[balmy wolf]

Mhm

I’m cheering for twisted minds

I’ve been a fan since the World Cup. And they’re basically the same team lol

[hybrid hollow]

I wanna see quartz pop fr

[balmy wolf]

And if they don’t make it I can just cheer for falcons

A mega busted roster

[balmy wolf]

Yeah he’s insane. Did you know they’re playing in EU but their boot camp is in Korea? Lol

[hybrid hollow]

Oh yeah jay3 tourney today

[balmy wolf]

OH SHIT

when

Playoffs

??

[hybrid hollow]

That Saudi money given them luxury

[balmy wolf]

Yeah it’s really nice that their country really supports them you know?

[hybrid hollow]

No idea I just seen kraan stream title lol

[balmy wolf]

The tournament is on now?

[hybrid hollow]

Not right now but I think 30m-hour

[balmy wolf]

Oh bet thanks

I totally forgot about it

[fathom igloo]

Yup of course

[hybrid hollow]

If America could put sum money into esports 💔

Ik it'll never happen but

[balmy wolf]

They’re too busy giving our money to companies and a country I don’t wanna name

[rugged quest]

if i remember correctly coluge s9mm and seeker are in a team

they just dont have an org

[balmy wolf]

You know top 3 teams in NA?

The official ones?

[rugged quest]

wdym

like in my opinion?

[balmy wolf]

What do you think is the strongest 3 teams in NA

I only know of defiant

And Hawk isn’t playing?

[rugged quest]

The top teams for what i know are defiant, timeless and prob the coluge team

but im not sure if im aware of every team

[balmy wolf]

Timeless? Damn they lost Rupal, and seeker

And Lenny?

[rugged quest]

I heard they picked up a squad with infekted, topdragon, cal etc

let me double check i might be talking out of my ass

Yeah infekted, mirror, pge, topdragon, lep, renko

[balmy wolf]

Topdragon? Isn’t he Korean?

[rugged quest]

yep

an import

[balmy wolf]

Cool I remember him from contenders I think

[balmy wolf]

Tbh I don’t know most of those people

[rugged quest]

you dont know mirror or renko?

[balmy wolf]

PGE was popping off on widow in flash ops

[balmy wolf]

Their names seem familiar but I unfortunately can’t say I do

[rugged quest]

both owl players

[balmy wolf]

Yeah I figured I saw them in owl at some point but that’s it

Washington?

[rugged quest]

mirror in washington, renko got picked up by shock half way through last owl season

[balmy wolf]

HA! So my memory isn’t that bad

Tbh I still think defiant will be on top of NA

[rugged quest]

and lep, infekted are some of the better na t2 players

[rugged quest]

yeah absolutely

[balmy wolf]

EMEA has better teams I think

[rugged quest]

I agree

[worn falcon]

Still no teams for NA on liquipedia, and apparently some stuff going with Wisp

man

[rugged quest]

defiant is stacked but spitfire, twisted and owlspraycheck are for sure better than any NA team beside defiant

[worn falcon]

Defiant going to prove being mid again

[rugged quest]

yeah the roster i listed is ex wisp

they got picked up by timeless

[balmy wolf]

Tbh I think roc isn’t as good as defiant but still might be better than any other na team

[rugged quest]

Roc is very top heavy

will have to see how it works out before i rate them high

[hybrid hollow]

Ohhh that's the team reinforce was watching scrim the other day

[hybrid hollow]

If that team somehow flops the whole org has to disband

Bc atp its a curse

[cosmic snow]

Please change Doompist to dealer

[balmy wolf]

I’m just kinda expecting a bit from them since they have checkmate and izayaki

Also tbh TVNT was actually pretty decent on sigma

[static pond]

They have the most dominant owcs roster rn

[static pond]

Esports doesn’t bring in money

[weak frost]

my honest reaction

[balmy wolf]

Lol

Imagine Sirmajed plays instead of fielder and he does really well XD

That’d be funny af

[weak frost]

https://tenor.com/view/castiel-supernatural-misha-collins-sitting-relaxing-gif-17871660

[balmy wolf]

Gets fielder benched

[weak frost]

sirmajed potg

[balmy wolf]

They should let him play against weaker teams tbh

I guess his biggest problem is communication? He can’t speak Korean to the others

[balmy wolf]

Jay3 community tournament is live now if anyone cares

[stray solar]

Owcs needs a host

[full lichen]

im here to talk about the slander that has just occurred,. every single game i play is filled with eastern Europeans who think its acceptable to 1 trick a hero they are ass at.

[spice lava]

can you still get the esports tokens from owl?

[hybrid hollow]

Yeah you can still buy owl coins and skins

[spice lava]

nah like

from twitch

[heady gull]

@humble brook actually ill

[timber nexus]

no

[robust patio]

@uncut drum @rugged quest

[hybrid hollow]

Is this for best to ever play the character or most known for the hero

I'm assuming it's best on the hero since viol2t is listed for zen

[robust patio]

yea

[static pond]

Profit hanzo? And moth mercy???

[robust patio]

whats ur thought

for both :o

[keen abyss]

who else would be hanzo

literally every time hanzo was a strong pick profit's team would become title contenders with him on hanzo

s1 playoffs s3 playoffs

[earnest leaf]

of all the lists I've seen of these things, this one isn't too bad

I would swap choi/void though for sig/dva

[keen abyss]

profit's team was dogshit the previous stages and suddenly made grand finals

[keen abyss]

void is the goat dva

[earnest leaf]

he was top 3 dva but choi the goat on her

[keen abyss]

choi is not the goat of dva

[earnest leaf]

void the goat on sig though (hanbin better at the end)

[keen abyss]

void played dva to an equal or higher level than choi for longer

and had the highest peak on dva of any player ever

choi was arguably better in 2019 (although he had a superstar lineup while void had two teammates and STILL made glads highly competitive)

void was equal or stronger on dva in 2020

void was much stronger on dva in 2021

[static pond]

Mercy = Nisha or Yveltal hanzo = prob merit , fits, or leave maybe birdring imo

[static pond]

Yes let take the s1 performance compared to the level of players we have now

[static pond]

Oh didn’t reply lol right above this tho

[robust patio]

for hanzo im thinking Leave

[robust patio]

idk who nisha or yveltal is

i know tobi mercy tho lel

[static pond]

Remember the mercys that pocket JinMu

[robust patio]

which team

were they

[static pond]

Hunters

[robust patio]

chengdu?

ah

[static pond]

Ya

[robust patio]

i see

[static pond]

Yveltal change his name to Xerneas

Forgot to mention that

[robust patio]

Oh

i know

but idk nisha

[keen abyss]

bro did NOT hear the all time part of 'greatest of all time'

[robust patio]

tracer and genji should be proper

[static pond]

I forgot who was the best out of the two but both were very good

[static pond]

Profit wash lip would destroy him

[keen abyss]

yeah no shit

[robust patio]

i cant wait for owcs

[static pond]

So would proper and kev

Stalker was even better

[keen abyss]

yeah no shit

[robust patio]

Wac

[static pond]

Leave was better too

[keen abyss]

profit had the longest and most significant reign of dominance on hanzo

[static pond]

Stalker for tracer soj prob a split between lip and proper oh genji lol uh prob kev or whoru

[keen abyss]

season 1 playoffs season 3 playoffs he was far and clear the best hanzo

[keen abyss]

nobody else has has significant feats on hanzo

even if in the modern day they would be better at the hero

[static pond]

Btw this was when hanzo was randomly buff

And it was last second

[keen abyss]

okay i've been enlightened that this discussion is just not worth having

with someone who thinks stalk3r is the goat of tracer

[robust patio]

hes up there

for sure

[keen abyss]

he just isnt lol

[robust patio]

he did good in flashops too

[keen abyss]

he had 1 season of significance on tracer

vs people who've had numerous seasons of higher significance

[robust patio]

he got mvp in flashops too

[keen abyss]

both of his biggest feats of tracer were paired with a full roster of people who are widely considered #1 in the world on their roles

[robust patio]

who do u think is the goat of tracer

[keen abyss]

kevster

[robust patio]

for me its Proper

[keen abyss]

kevster and striker are the top 2 imo

[robust patio]

proper beat kevster

[static pond]

Striker?

[keen abyss]

??

[robust patio]

yea

he beat kevster in soj vs soj too

and widow

[keen abyss]

season 1 he hard deadlifted a shitty boston team to a 10-0 stage with his monumental tracer gameplay

[robust patio]

and

genji

[keen abyss]

striker's tracer was so far above everyone else's in his prime that his efforts alone made a below average roster highly competitive

[robust patio]

thats for current tho

but if

[keen abyss]

in season 3 he had similar performances on shock

[robust patio]

we are talking about goat of all time

id say

[earnest leaf]

Goat of tracer is one of striker/proper/leave/kevster

[robust patio]

Sbb

is the best

tracer

[keen abyss]

it just isnt proper

[robust patio]

but as of now its proper

[keen abyss]

like you just cant include proper in that discussion

when he had 1 season of significance where he wasn't even clearly the best tracer

as there is very valid argument for kevster being the best tracer that season

they are equal for season 5 in my books

neither was clearly better than the other on tracer / genji

[earnest leaf]

Proper was the best tracer in s5 for sure, kevster was close but proper was always a bit better

[keen abyss]

that just isnt true

[earnest leaf]

s6 proper had the unfortunate event of having milkmen on his team

[static pond]

That and crusty had him practicing everything

[keen abyss]

s6 kevster did too and he looked better than proper that season

[keen abyss]

fairly certain a part of the reason why that roster was ass was bc mental was boomed from proper being a dictator

[earnest leaf]

that is actual fake news

[keen abyss]

other part was out of game situations like living conditions

and vindaim being ass

[keen abyss]

i'll trust the coaches and players directly involved in the scene more than a shock fanboy i fear

most of the players in the league are not good people esp the higher up in talent you go

atlanta flopped partially because the main core would turbo flame donghak

for basically anything

[earnest leaf]

I have yet to hear of a single story of proper being a dictator in s6

[keen abyss]

so his confidence was in the shitter

[earnest leaf]

I've heard of all the other surrounding issues but proper specfically being a dick is not one

[static pond]

Atl flop because they lost wizard

[robust patio]

proper is a nice guy lel

[keen abyss]

gator had to act partially as therapist for donghak

[robust patio]

i met him irl

i met tons of owl ppl irl

[keen abyss]

im not 100% sure if the proper stuff is true

[robust patio]

one of my friends is in owl

[static pond]

Wizard being one of the best analyst

[robust patio]

lol

[keen abyss]

but people can be extremely charming when you meet them irl and complete dipshits in the lobby

[keen abyss]

atl only flopped because of ego

[static pond]

They lost wizard after there first stage lmao

He left the team

[earnest leaf]

Atl also couldn't one trick sombra anymore

[keen abyss]

they refused to review rein comps bc they thought they actually just couldnt lose to london

[keen abyss]

that didnt really matter

[static pond]

And gator a shit coach

[robust patio]

yes

[static pond]

Wizard was the only real coach in that team

[keen abyss]

there was so much talent on that roster that theoretically they could be favorites in any meta

[keen abyss]

gator was NOT responsible for lip playing fucking genji on ilios lighthouse

into london's rein bunker

gator wanted them to play poke that map

which would've shit on london's comp

but they ego'd

[static pond]

Gator also soft af

[earnest leaf]

poor gator

if they won he would get zero credit

and since they lost he gets all blame

[static pond]

He never put his foot down

[keen abyss]

atlanta was also convinced that they couldn't ever lose to team china in a dive mirror

so they took the ego duel to the end and paid the price

[static pond]

Because they had 0 coaches lmao

[keen abyss]

this may be true

[robust patio]

he got more flamed after usa losing the world cup

[keen abyss]

but i think gator is getting way too much flame

for something that is like 80% the fault of the roster itself

[earnest leaf]

ngl gator couldn't do much in wc

leave/shy just diffed the fuck out of usa dps

[robust patio]

leave genji tho

[keen abyss]

i mean if he'd caught the differences in tank styles between coluge and super

earlier

and had super play over coluge

it likely couldve changed usa's fate

[earnest leaf]

coluge being silly and going on a cut before owwc

[keen abyss]

that too

also hydron is just a choker sadly

[earnest leaf]

too much toronto dna ran in that team, natural chokers

[robust patio]

rupal and UV carried

tbh

especially uv

[keen abyss]

gator stated that atlanta's biggest issues

were that they always wanted to win in the short term

which was easiest at the time by just playing d0nghak and going dive

so hawk never really properly got integrated

i think he said the koreans on the roster were respectful towards hawk but he never really got fully integrated

bc in scrims the koreans never wanted to sub hawk in for a few maps bc they wanted to keep playing comfort comps so they could keep winning

[robust patio]

hm idk about that

[keen abyss]

so atlanta would always look weaker with hawk in bc of the lack of integration and that came to bite them when they needed hawk's talents

like his doom or sig play

[robust patio]

Lip wanted to play with hawk more

[keen abyss]

i mean gator was the one who was literally in the scrims coaching and working with the team

[robust patio]

he said it irl and on stream

[keen abyss]

then there's some disconnect bc gator 1000% would've put hawk in more if he could

[robust patio]

tbh owl coaches really dont have much power

[keen abyss]

gator's faith in hawk is astronomically high he def would've integrated him as much as possible if there was no roadblock

[robust patio]

its funny cus Kalios kicked the boston coach

[keen abyss]

this is partially why i think gator couldnt really put his foot down

[robust patio]

and Ans couldve kicked Crusty but they are irl friends

[keen abyss]

when you have a roster like lip chiyo fielder stalk3r

you genuinely have to consider mutiny as a possibility

[robust patio]

crusty was sitting next to me in Lan event

it was quite hilarious

[keen abyss]

is that from like an o2 booth

wait some of those names aren't o2

[keen abyss]

a lot of big o2 names though

[robust patio]

im friends with Someone

[robust patio]

its from Flashops

Lip someone ans o2 vesta crew houston outlaws

and Pine+ crusty

• florida mayhem

• kariv kalios

viol2t

ill meet proper again and prob sirmajed

in upcoming owcs

[keen abyss]

definitely a weird engagement farming title but gator gives a lot of his insight to what happened with atl here
https://youtu.be/1_4OqB5489c?si=67RSZOUjgdjEvHr3

if ppl dont want to watch the whole thing there are timestamps to things like atl

[robust patio]

nah why is gator blaming koreans

[keen abyss]

the title is def engagement farming i think his explanation was that korean work ethic added a lot more necessary scrim time or smth like that in order to keep up

i dont remember

[robust patio]

🤣

[velvet venture]

The new OW esport skins look cool judging from the Kiriko one, unfortunately they feel like OWWC recolours to an extent

[unique root]

i mean that’s just the overwatch colors at the end of the day LOL

they can only get so creative while making them still stand out and reference their brand

[robust patio]

sUP JaEee

[unique root]

hi hi hi

[molten charm]

What does uphill battle mean

[pearl bramble]

where can I see the new owwc skins?

[hollow briar]

At least we can get new champion skins still

[eager sierra]

Ngl why the esports team members look like they get no women

[uncut drum]

there is a decent about with gfs and wifes

[fathom igloo]

A lot of them are happy being single

[sterile shell]

What time is the stream tomorrow?

[balmy wolf]

I’m pretty sure he mentioned that it’s his fault multiple times

[robust patio]

ah

[balmy wolf]

He took responsibility for being the coach but DAMN. That podcast was juicy

[hybrid hollow]

It seems like blizzard didn't want custa btw

He didn't say exactly what but going from how he phrased it im guessing they just let him go

[timber nexus]

yeah he pretty much said they made problems but it was his role to solve them and he kinda didnt cuz he was too nice to put his foot down

[spice lava]

when is the twitch stream happening i want the twitch drops bad

[keen abyss]

what's up with rupal i heard ultraviolet say in spilo's latest vid that rupal is on a team with lyar uv coluge s9mm and someone else

is rupal in both collegiate on winthrop and owcs on toronto

[sullen berry]

The episode with NineK and Unter intimately discussing toxicity in overwatch and when done right is good for the team (thinking back to peak Shock and ATL/Glads) they probably know what they're on about

[delicate charm]

same fr

[eager juniper]

im still trying to figure out what channel its gonna be on, im guessing the playoverwatch channel?

nvm its on the esports channel

[cobalt moss]

whats the drops

league tokens?

ehh...

better to watch it for fun rather than rewards unless u wanna afk it ig

thanks fam

[balmy wolf]

Now

[balmy wolf]

I really want the kiriko skin. I love orange, green and black and that skin has two of them

[balmy wolf]

The episode with funnyastro was very juicy too

[sullen berry]

Almost any player interview is going to be good if they're allowed to speak their experience and tell us what teams or Blizzard won't tell us

This was meant to be the best Japan match up today, looks like this is a third snoozer

[balmy wolf]

Why they playing hog?

[sullen berry]

Why tf not

It's Japan, they do whatever they want (and fail by repeating the same comp over and over until it works Chengdu Hunters style)

[sullen berry]

It looks like they're finally making progress

It's so joever

That lifeweaver hog combination was a lost cause

Maybe it works for them, but they're probably looked a lot worse because VARREL have been around for years together with the same tank and support core

Pretty hard to topple a team whose made several Contenders appearances while never having their own Contenders region

Qki looking too good on echo game, duplicating their lifeweaver for fun

[balmy wolf]

Varrel is also the Japan national team lol

They got the synergy

[spice lava]

Why is it at 4 am bruh

[balmy wolf]

Cuz Asia region

[robust patio]

a

[rugged quest]

Japan doesnt rly have any depth

varrel is the only solid japanese t2 team

= you will have ladder players running it down = random ass picks

Back when Xerneas did these “tell-all” streams, he explained that he was stirring up drama because he wasn’t planning to stay in the esports circle.

Currently, he is stacking with Guxue and Shy in ranked. Classic Xerneas.
