They even ran tracer echo

[hybrid hollow]

And they had donghak in on maps where attack was clearly the option

[static pond]

Tbh donghak still did good

Honestly

[hybrid hollow]

Unfortunately he lost to the white boy Winston prodigy

[static pond]

As a future player if he keeps playing he might be very flexible high skill tank

Mt

[hybrid hollow]

I'm still disappointed at falcons as well

like on paper they should be competitive with cr but they're just not

[static pond]

Nah man map 3 or 4 broke my heart

Hanbin face said it all

And crusty shouldt be having his head down in disappointment

That fk up seeing your coach do that

[hybrid hollow]

Yeah

Lowkey if nrg pick up some of the ntmr guys na could have a team worth watching besides Toronto

really just seeker and zss

[static pond]

Honestly I’m proud of eu

And rak

Infected too

[hybrid hollow]

actually no I want m80 to drop their roster, keep tree, sign ntmr and find a tank player

[static pond]

And a coach

[hybrid hollow]

They didn't have a coach?

[static pond]

Oh right gator not a coach

[hybrid hollow]

Oh m80 I forgot he coached m80 ngl

Idk how I feel about gator as a coach tbh

[static pond]

He ass

He had Atlanta

World Cup USA

Now m80

[hybrid hollow]

Oh yeah nvm

[static pond]

And people saying they won one tournament in owl with gator as a coach

IT WAS WIZARD

[balmy hound]

It was pretty competitive for a 4-1

[hybrid hollow]

It's a matter of consistency tho

You're never gonna truly be competitors with cr if you're losing maps to tm and lgd

they have the potential but they just don't play at that level every map

[hazy marsh]

i dont think it's even an argument

this team is just on a different level

[torn portal]

2 maps lost?

what a wild statistic

[glass sleet]

TM my team!! Woooooo

When is OWCS?

League of Legends for EWC had 2 million viewers in their last twitch stream alone. That’s crazy how popular that game is

[cerulean crescent]

Which is kinda crzay too because only Lip and Shu were really really top tier players before OWCS. Hessang, Max, Junbin and Chorong were more of a questionmark espacially their tanks

Now seeing them being considered being the best Overwatch Esports team of all time is really insane

[static pond]

That cause t1

Was in grand finals

[hybrid hollow]

Wss chorong really a question mark

He won owl before this

[glass sleet]

He’s not

CR had practices and junbin just looked really good that they took him. So they knew he was amazing on dive before hand

[cerulean crescent]

my bad kinda if so lol

honestly forgot the whole last season playoff

it was so underwhelming and forgettable in my opinion

[thick zealot]

W name

He also chill with sugerfree

Lip called him
Salty Free

[torn portal]

waitttt he’s honeyfree

[viscid hatch]

Cool where

[viscid hatch]

The only other team that was as dominant, relative to their time was 2021 Shanghai

Crazy that lip was on both lol

And coach moon

[cerulean crescent]

Bruh

[cerulean crescent]

Bruh part 2

[viscid hatch]

He’s the goat

[cerulean crescent]

Would you say Moon > Crusty?

[viscid hatch]

crusty absolutely fumbled some insane rosters, but moon had some questionable decisions back in season 2

If moon can continue this year then yes

Crusty did still get the back to back

He doesn’t really look like he knows how to rotate 2 tank players

Mikeyy coluge, Junbin max, Hanbin Smurf

[cerulean crescent]

Well yes but I think we this is already some time ago while yes, it is important to mention this still huge achievement, we also have to look into the years after. People are arguing Viol2t is the support goat although Shu is already starting to shine like a star since his time in Charge. Even the duo support line with Chiyo Fielder was arguably the peak support line we have ever had in their prime.

[viscid hatch]

I would say moon>crusty, he probably orchestrated that ball comp with Shanghai to perfection

And that was unbeatable

Crustys shock just didn’t really have competition

[frosty bane]

Crusty lost some respect when he absolutely fumbled the Junbin Max duo

[viscid hatch]

I totally agree

[viscid hatch]

I can’t think of anything falcons can do to actually beat crazy raccoons

[amber latch]

fearless is best winston

[viscid hatch]

Duh

Does he still have it though?

[keen abyss]

get chiyo and proper therapy

pay CR 1 mil for shu

[cerulean crescent]

Nothing really, in fact they are evenly strong but CR just has the clutch factor which you cannot improve

[keen abyss]

they are not evenly strong

ch0r0ng hard gaps chiyo in flexibility and mental

and as a teammate in general

shu has hard cleared fielder in every aspect but healbotting for years

proper is also a diva and is probably prone to booming and bad ego

stalk3r is fine but i've believed he's been overrated since his atlanta season i dont think he's all he's cracked up to be

smurf is washed

hanbin is the only player on that team who i believe is actually competitive with his counterpart as a whole

every other player on that team is past their prime and/or overrated or has personality issues

cr is the best balance you will ever find of world class talent and good teammates

• moon is supposedly a great coach at creating a good team atmosphere as well

while crusty likely booms his players sometimes i heard he can be very harsh

[cerulean crescent]

Idk for me they looked at the majority of their last match even. 1/2 of the maps could have gone either way. Falcons actually choked some of them.

Also Falcons actually beat them already twice. Saying that they aren’t evenly strong yeah. Your opinion and I respect that

[keen abyss]

icl from what i remember cr trolled their losses by not mirroring the obv meta comp and trying to force dive

[cerulean crescent]

I do also think that Crusty might be the biggest problem in this team

He really went downhill after season 3

[keen abyss]

i think chiyo and proper are big problem areas

they were both terrible teammates in 2023 at least

severe attitude issues

which can create a really bad team atmosphere

maybe it's less of an issue in this roster since there is a lot more veteran presence and everyone is much more 'proven'

but i think if anything is ever looking poor for falcons chiyo and proper will be the first to implode

[cerulean crescent]

Meanwhile my statement is that Falcons and CR are evenly strong I also added that CR has in fact maybe as you said, the mentality aspect which provides them the necessary clutch factor I mentioned

[keen abyss]

still think smurf proper stalk3r chiyo fielder are 5 players who are much stronger in name value than they are as actual players

at least with proper in hs jail

[cerulean crescent]

I think we surely shouldn’t disrespect Fielders name. He played on his debut year on 150+ ping and was one of the best flex supports during that time

[keen abyss]

during that time

fielder was a top fs during that time

but he was overrated during 2022 and people think bc of the success fuel had (that was largely meta dependent and heavily complemented fuel's macro style instead of individual skills)

that fielder was the best fs in the world

when it's always been shu

since 2021

fielder may be top 5 fs in the world but like

his ana is good probably close to shu

his bap is okay but not world class

his kiri has fallen off immensely now that healbotting is no longer meta on that hero

but if we think about all of fielder's success from 2022

[cerulean crescent]

Chiyo Fielder in fact were the prime examples of good backlines who were able to adapt to any team. Winning with Dallas 2022 title and dominating half of 2023.

I‘m not quite sure what is missing, maybe coaching diff, they aren’t comfortable with Proper and Crusty duo who knows.

They are still the second best team right now, we should not forget that

[keen abyss]

it was on brig (his brig was good in that meta tbf) and kiriko (where healbotting was much preferred which is fielder's patented style)

when supports have to do more than being defensively focused fielder falls off a lot in value

besides that his ana nades are usually really good

[keen abyss]

that is literally just not what they are

chiyo fielder's ONLY success in 2022 was when they could plya hivemind comps

fuel was actually so ass whenever dive was meta

and they weren't good in poke either bc chiyo is weak on flex supports

they aren't an adaptable backline at all

they're strong when
A) chiyo can lucio aggressively and fielder can play a healing focused playstyle
2) ana brig

that supportl ine has never proven that they can do anything else

[keen abyss]

second best in the world is still up for debate since they literally lost fairly hard to a team that got pounded by both TM and toronto

and toronto did get higher this tourney though tbf they werent in an elimination match with CR until the very end

i think if spark core actually gets more scrim time

they can fight for the second best team in the world slot

i don't have faith that toronto will keep it up though

but if falcons is struggling with these teams that is not a good sign

i think saying fielder chiyo is an adaptable backline is actually just such a ??? claim

bc in both owl seasons they played they looked really good in their comfort comps and mid at best outside of them

like if you have fearless sp9rk1e in a dive meta and you're struggling i don't think that's all on guriyo

and even the part that was on guriyo who knows if that was also partially due to chiyo's attitude booming him

bro made d0nghak cry numerous times which means it's not impossible that he has done that before

[viscid hatch]

This is the only part I disagree in, being a cr fan I can acknowledge that this guy is nuts on tracer, imo the best in the world

[viscid hatch]

I agree so hard with this

[keen abyss]

glads were def the better team overall

in a head to head where both hivemindish comps and dive comps were strong glads swept them 4-0

[viscid hatch]

Yeahhhh glads for screwed so hard

[keen abyss]

and they were the best team in the world at dive

[viscid hatch]

I’ve just been following shu since charge

[keen abyss]

then they ran into internal issues while benching their best player

[viscid hatch]

They got a lot better at the queen mega though

[keen abyss]

while also getting the 4 strongest teams in na back to back to back to back

yeah they probably wouldve made finals if they got to make playoffs

[viscid hatch]

All the coaches said they would have won if they went to that lan which is crazy

[keen abyss]

they were looking sick

and if they got to play queen comp more they probably wouldve been better at the playoffs comp

tho that's jsut speculation bc the comps play similarly

and space wouldnt be in for that

though maybe they wouldve kept happy on sj

idk glads were having so many issues that playoffs it probably wouldnt have made the biggest difference

[keen abyss]

yeah i was a glads fan in 2018 and 2019 but kinda stopped watch owl but as soon as i heard shu moth got signed to glads

and that they were actually looking like a sick superteam that year

it made me get back into owl

and shu became my fav player

being a glads fan was just a series of misery outside of that first half of s5

potentially unluckiest team in the league

[viscid hatch]

I agree

[keen abyss]

still doesnt solve the issue of shu not being experienced on kiriko bc apparently he just did not grind her on ladder at all

[viscid hatch]

I was supporting charge since they joined because I liked the colours lol

Then I just followed shu

[keen abyss]

i dont think reiner was an issue that playoffs run but glads were def getting macro diffed

[viscid hatch]

Holy someone with a brain

Jesus

Everyone was flaming him

It was so sad

[keen abyss]

i heard unter say that playoffs comp was looking to be doom tracer sj lucio kiri

and glads were the best by far at that comp

then the fuel comp took over

and they spent most of their time seeing if the doom comp could beat the reaper comp

and it did not pay off

so they had some of the least scrim time on the comp

[keen abyss]

reiner was my favorite owl player

he was so good that year off of queen

ALTHOUGH IMO his queen wasnt even that bad

[viscid hatch]

He was really good

His queen wasn’t that bad yeah

[keen abyss]

they were one fight off of beating fuel

[viscid hatch]

Goads just hadn’t figured it out yet

[viscid hatch]

Yeah

I remember that

[keen abyss]

like the ilios fight where ans missed a shot on chiyo

and the fight got turned off of that

where glads surely wouldve won if he just hit that shot

[keen abyss]

that and that was the peak of their internal issues

pati quitting / getting injured

[viscid hatch]

Yeah that was sad

[keen abyss]

• whatever reason ans quit i dont remember

[viscid hatch]

Pati was so good

[keen abyss]

unter said that pati would actually just throw in scrims

like consistently

but on game day he was insane

he said reiner didnt ever try in scrims but like

reiner had a base level that he would always play at that was really good so it didnt really matter too much

so he would just be extra locked in onj game day

[viscid hatch]

Chad behaviour

[keen abyss]

and pati was similar but his base level was not nearly as good as reiner's

so he was actually awful in scrims

[viscid hatch]

Him and Reiner didn’t believe in practice

[keen abyss]

yeah

[viscid hatch]

Terrible work ethic

But it’s okay

Haha

[keen abyss]

i dont remember the ans reason

[viscid hatch]

Probably burnt out

[keen abyss]

it was either that or he was always arguing with reiner idr

2022 glads instabooms me whenever it crosses my mind

the ecstacy of the first half of the year

the team being elite by the end of the joats meta but getting actually the most unlucky series of events in league history

going 6-0 in countdown cup and being so back

then the playoffs incidents

then dont even get me started on 2023

i was a danteh believer and swore up and down he wasnt the issue

they were one fight away from qualifying for MSM over mayhem

but then they dropped danteh which i absolutely hated and brought in someone with the same hero pool who couldnt comm with the rest of the team and was on ping the entire time

then went like 1-7

poor kev

going back in time to 2022 telling ans to lock the fuck in against dallas and telling unter face and smash that winston reaper will be the playoffs comp dont bother with the doom comp

[viscid hatch]

Sounds too good to be true

[static pond]

I agree I just think he inconsistent tho

[static pond]

Honestly when dallas won grand finals thwre wast really strong rosters even dragons cut back on money

[cerulean crescent]

Retrospective, Dallas‘ roaster wasn’t even that good

Sparkle and Edison were A Tier at best

THE GOAT WHORU

[sullen berry]

HAPPY WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE

Fuck there's so many leaked players from this announcement

[static pond]

Mid hit scan rip

I don’t see the point of that if proper plays hit scan

And stalker handles the rest

[cerulean crescent]

Korea is soooo stacked

Meanwhile NA and EMEA 95% 5 man roasters

[hybrid hollow]

Ok I love happy but why is he here

[cerulean crescent]

From my understanding his purpose is to hard run hitscan so proper can play flex dps

[hybrid hollow]

Genuinely why would he play over proper or stalker

[hybrid hollow]

I mean tbf proper is better than happy on hitscan recently

[static pond]

But that stalker job

[hybrid hollow]

Unless proper doesn't WANT to play hs bc if so then I understand

[static pond]

Then drop stslker

Stalker

No way he being bench

[hybrid hollow]

I guess they want the double flex option still??

Idk it just doesn't make sense

He doesn’t deserve to be bench

He wants to join ence

[static pond]

Honestly he should join ntmr I honestly think nrg struggle as a team

[hybrid hollow]

I think both rosters have potential tbh

But i do think ntmr is better

Especially if admiral stays they don't have to scavenge for a main support

[static pond]

Ya but it just feels like infected and rak got better playing in other rosters

[hybrid hollow]

Tr33 Zeruhh Infekted Rak and Zss would be a roster I'll love to watch fr

Just take all of na's potential and put them on one roster

[fair crest]

Hanzo got “buffed” a few patches ago that resulted in his Dragonstrike moving faster across the map. This effectively nerfed his ult as a zoning tool, while not giving it a DPS buff to compensate, making it worse, especially so with the recent tank buffs. At present it serves no purpose. At best you can use it to get a pick through a wall on someone youve already headshot, but thats about it. Tanks just sit in it and ignore. Healers and DPS dont even need to use a movement ability, no matter how out of position they are. You cant even use it as an “oh ****”
because of its animation and activation range.

It is, by far, the worst DPS ult in the game.

[sullen berry]

Guess the player

[hybrid hollow]

Wait I'm actually lost

It has to moon or pavane bc none of the players match

[rugged quest]

Not moon

Cuz he was coaching last yr

[hybrid hollow]

Truee

[rugged quest]

So pavane?

[hybrid hollow]

It's probably pavane then I think he's the only guy on the roster or staff who's worked with new York

[glass sleet]

I don’t think getting Happy the right move. Yeah I like happy a lot but why?

He was mid in m80 but tbf he was also rusty af cuz he hasn’t been playing since owl

[glass sleet]

Yooooo zest and mag back at it again

[hybrid hollow]

Even if he wasn't the biggest advantage of stalker proper is only the fly flexibility without subs

With happy you lose the ability to swap from a top tier double flex or hitscan line up at any point in the game

[glass sleet]

I’m actually shocked falcons picks up Happy after his m80 performance

But hey I like happy so I can’t be complaining. I was a Houston outlaws fan lol

Happy only joins teams with the color green btw. That’s why he’s there

Btw is owcs tomorrow?

[hybrid hollow]

It's next week

[hybrid hollow]

No fucking way 😭

That's huge for infekted tho

[static pond]

Ya but I think at least it feels like he was in talks for a while

Which is fk up since nrg are friends

And
Infected himself straight didt want the team to retire because he enjoys playing with them

The other issue him leaving last second makes it hard for nrg to find a replacement

Which is unprofessional

[spiral light]

durps to nrg shock HERE WE GO! 🚨

[hybrid hollow]

Yeah but lowkey it's better for his career honestly

NRG is a friendship team that's fun to cheer for but who knows if they'll actually put in the work to play at that next level

Ntmr feels way more committed to it especially after their ewc performance

Pge is doing try outs tho so this might be the end of this current nrg

wouldn't be shocked if rak just moved to Europe

[hazy marsh]

oh shit

[deft wolf]

return of shcwi and taiyo

[hazy marsh]

who's schwi?

[static pond]

Ok so they found out lasts night

[static pond]

It was a idea before but it wast confirm

[glass sleet]

It’s not 2nd?

[glass sleet]

I’m glad he went to ntmr, he saw how much better they are and wanted to move

Admiral diff rak anyway

[hybrid hollow]

Nvm nrg are doing tank try outs that's why

According to PGE they have like 3 possible options

Unfortunately he's not leaking it 💔💔💔💔

[wise orbit]

super is coming back

[viscid hatch]

I really hope vindaim plays as well as he did in 2022

He was genuinely good there

Happy being back is crazy

[hazy marsh]

Didnt realize I missed all these announcements

[unique tapir]

he didn’t leave his contract was bought out

[sullen berry]

Probably in the same way when TenZ had his contract from Cloud9 transferred to Sentinels

[glass sleet]

Is tenz a pro player?

Or just a content creator for an org?

Stalker has been so mid

[hazy marsh]

yeah kevster has not been giving the strongest showings recently

[weak frost]

he was in ewc sure but i think thats just recency bias

i dont think you can judge just off one event

we'll see in stockholm I guess, sad there arent that many international events more often

[hybrid hollow]

This is the second time the skin has been as drop so

Most ppl probably have it alr

[errant hornet]

It’s just the pride tourney

Nothing crazy calling all heroes has been a thing for a while

[glass sleet]

They should’ve given everyone the contenders skins before locking them away forever

I’m mad I don’t have them for all my heroes

[errant hornet]

Well pride/ marginalized technically

[cerulean crescent]

The only good thing about this is that (at least I think) is 100% hosted by Blizzard

And not from a third party

Why is that good exactly?

[somber bison]

So I’m like just getting back into ow esports is the owl disbanded or is there still like a league under a new name with the same teams or how does it work now?

[viscid hatch]

It’s disbanded, the new system is owned by the same people, but there’s no restrictions on what teams can join

So some owl teams still have teams

NRG Shock and Toronto defiant

[viscid hatch]

There’s big tournaments throughout the year and each region, EMEA NA and ASIA all put forth teams to compete

Your team has to be registered in a certain region and can only have players from that region, and then you can have 2 imports from other regions

[deft wolf]

also to add, there are teams with former players of owl teams, but similar branding and not operated by the original companies (Oldest Pro-Hunters, Once Again-Spark)

[viscid hatch]

What owl team became oldest pro hunters?

[deft wolf]

Chengdu hunters

Jinmu ameng jimmy xerneas and kyo

They have the same colors as chengdu, but not operated by the parent company of chengdu hunters, huya

They havent appeared in any huge tourneys unlike Once Again

only in a couple of scrims vs DAF and Team CC

[viscid hatch]

I love that team so much

Kyo being back is cool

I’m still a big xerneas fan

[glass sleet]

What is this!?

[tacit willow]

Probably just bait

[robust patio]

all washed

[weak frost]

I mean he's a very good tank player and not banned by blizzard or anything so it wouldn't be unbelievable

[sullen berry]

Had a look into the 8th seed team for OWCS Japan and they'll basically have a week to rebuild their roster after winning and receive 44,000 per player

I mean he came 2nd in owwc twice, he was legitimately a good tank player lol

[weak frost]

I'm not American but wtf did he even do during his presidency😭 from what I could tell from media coverage in Hungary he basically fulfilled none of his campaign promises and then dumpstered the US economy during early covid while somehow still letting people die and then tried to cheat the election 😭😭😭

[tacit willow]

Even still viper was kinda mid apart from his tracer… it wouldn’t be fore worth since they could kept putting lip on tracer who is really good at her

[hybrid hollow]

I mean having someone to fill for tracer genji double flex is always a positive

Cr as a team has just been so above everyone else that nobody has been able to punish the only gap in their roster

why does he look like a player i’d see in my plat games

and that’s generous

[worn falcon]

Plat is very generous

[torn portal]

He probably has good decision making and stuff + experience in pro play but

Mechanically he is straight silver 😭

[worn falcon]

And he hasnt played the game in long time

he been playing league

and sometiiiiiiiiimes OW

[torn portal]

so yeah

i would literally take any other flex support

[worn falcon]

he plays with a few pros in ranked tho but like all for the content

[torn portal]

why would they sign like 3 high potential new players and then unc gramps flex support number #30

[worn falcon]

one more before hitting the hospice

[sullen berry]

Hey guys, so I’m working on an OWCS Korea announcements tonight. Do any of you care about how to buy tickets or LAN stuff like player signings at the venue?

[lavish prism]

One guy cant go a year without winning a first place medal the other guy cant win a first place medal

[viscid hatch]

Nah that’s not true, they had to qualify over other teams

[keen abyss]

do not overestimate the mechanics of a plat kiriko player

silver would be generous

to describe one of them

[sullen berry]

Falcons did beat them during the much harder OWCS Stage 1 LAN vs Japan Korean top 4 and Pacific

But Crazy Raccoons won both Major and EWC so they get the last laugh (and the big money)

[lavish prism]

Yeah but it only counted as a qualifier and not a tournament result

Proper hasnt won an actual S-Tier tournament yet

[sullen berry]

They still got the bag for that, too. I could argue Raccoon sandbagging at the right moments was at play

I don't think any region outside of Korea has what it takes to win anything above A-Tier

[lavish prism]

I dont think anyone that isnt CR has that tbh

I dont see a team that could beat them

[sullen berry]

FNATIC just put themselves in a corner and just underperformed, just like Once Again

[lavish prism]

Make the best team possible with non-CR players and coaches and i would still bet on CR

[sullen berry]

In EU the closest team is SSG

[lavish prism]

Once again needs to derust hard i feel, fnatic backline swap was shooting themselves for ewc imo

EU could pop off in a good meta with no bans, but thats the only way they have a chance

[sullen berry]

But ENCE and SSG's peak they're about as good as like 5th-6th place teams in KR

[lavish prism]

Tor is great in the ban format but still inferior to falcons/CR imo

[lavish prism]

I feel like in best case scenario they could reach top3

But that relies on EU-Rush being hardmeta

Given the right meta, Poker Face and Sin Prisa would be an ez 3-0 for EU

For a purely NA roster without a Pelican or Top dragon-level carry (I think EWC wasn't a good example of his performance)

They wouldn't be able to take a map

[lavish prism]

Ewc was again ass for EU teams

Ill prepared for bans

At least most of then

I feel

[sullen berry]

wb NA SA and OCE

[lavish prism]

SA wont be able to compete

Like ever

Most likely

[sullen berry]

[lavish prism]

They need to play on 120+ ping to get decent ranked games

[sullen berry]

They can still have a FACEIT region

[lavish prism]

Ow just isnt big enough in that region

NA outside of TOR is fucked

Until NTMR get better

SEA i have hope for though ngl

[sullen berry]

Actually no, Virtus Pro played a really good game during EWC

of all the teams I didnt expect to do well, they smashed it out of the park and started strong

[lavish prism]

Yeah i mean the usual top teams

VP played great

[sullen berry]

VP were not high on my teams to watch

[lavish prism]

Honestly i feel like bleed couldve been a lot better, they chocked basically every game

[sullen berry]

But this is coming from someone expecting MKers to do something other than have a free holiday in Saudi

[lavish prism]

Won map1, very close loss map2, shit the bed after

Every game on Bleed

[sullen berry]

Even DAF/Bleed didnt think they were going to get an invite originally because Honeypot took their spot

Speaking of which, are you watching tonight's first day of OWCS matches

[lavish prism]

Most likely not

Im on holiday visiting family atm

[sullen berry]

Is anyone besides me going to watch the best format for APAC

Like they aren't anyone's fave teams or players but going straight to playoffs instead of a group stage is peak Overwatch

Bleed is playing tonight, next week WhoRU is in

[lavish prism]

I would watch if it was at a better time xd

Yep, Match 1 for OWCS KOREA STAGE2 Week2 Day2 is happening in accordance with Nowon Esports Festival!

🎮Match: HAEJEOKDAN vs FNATIC
📅Date: 2024.08.17 5PM KST
📍Venue: SEOUL TECH University

Korea is never at a good time, but if they're doing LAN you may as well watch for the games live

And not played online like the other regions

This is apparently in the schedule for the regular season, I'd imagine the crowds are going to be pretty big for midtable match

https://youtu.be/DWy2-qj9PtM?si=NhHalbUnENupWpdl

Hoping for this type of energy

[rugged quest]

They wont

kellex is better than rak

masa too if there arent herobans

[rugged quest]

[static pond]

Ngl I thought kellex was a flex

[rugged quest]

Rak was a weakpoint in ewc

[static pond]

lol

[rugged quest]

especially when the competition got better in later series he wasnt playing good

[static pond]

Nah other people
Rated rak higher just due to flexibility

Then massa

[rugged quest]

[static pond]

Forgot his name tbh

[rugged quest]

someone actually credible?

or just some random from this server

[static pond]

Why would I take anyone from this server seriously

Lmao

Even a random

[rugged quest]

Rak makes some sense with herobans but masas lucio is simply better

and they wont be playing brig outside niche scenarios

[static pond]

Lucio ya I just remembered it was cuz his flex that all tho

And ya it is

[static pond]

Is this a eu team?

📰 @FNATIC have released tank player Attack, DPS player Viper, and coach Fate ahead of #OWCS Korea Stage 2

Twitter · Aug 9, 2024, 8:14 AM

zeta has cup noodles as a parther there the real winners

[humble token]

Is fnatic cooked?

[static pond]

Only fleta as a coach

Idk if they have a head coach

HOW CAN HE SAY THAT AVOUT VIPER

[viscid hatch]

Fate I thought was a good coach, he was always a smart player

[humble token]

replacing irony bliss is so dumv

[static pond]

Both fleta and fate are smart

[static pond]

Tbh on paper fnatic has a better support line

[sullen berry]

@hollow bough dude how did I get all this extra time with production on a 10 min (tech) pause

[hollow bough]

Im not watching the game rn 🧍‍♂️ im playing :0

[humble token]

Yes but they seem to be washed

[static pond]

Ya but like before then did it how are they suppose to know

That

I’m assuming they didt trial that much

Has it started?

Tech issues on lan zzzz

[sullen berry]

yes

Zeta about to cap vs fnatic on 28%

Fnatic retakes

but Zeta caps after they setup a big dive onto knife

[humble token]

Does fnatic even have a hitscan

Like ik knife can play hitscan

But isnt he a flex from start

[sullen berry]

they chose not to play viper 💀

[dreamy cave]

Donghak gotta get some lessons from magician

[humble token]

Zeta playing orisa for fun

Knife kinda in a proper situation

[hazy marsh]

the stream chat is so stupid it's incredible

even on twitch

[static pond]

What with all these tech issues

[humble token]

Who is heesung?

[sullen berry]

contenders player last year

[humble token]

Is he good?

[sullen berry]

what do you think

because if you haven't heard of him now

he doesn't have anything to go off

[humble token]

Looks ok rn but kinda feeds

[sullen berry]

apart from contenders experience on like 4th-5th place teams

i can't say anyone has a good gauge of where he is rn

but think Skewed overwatch

[sullen berry]

this tbh

Heesung is not that remarkable when you have fearless donghak or junbin/max to contend with

doesn't mean he's ass

but I'm watching closely given that primal pounded

[humble token]

I think he has potencial when I look at this game but he kinda feeded also

[sullen berry]

well here's my problem

in 5v5

tanks are always going to look like they feeded

because they don't have another tank to make up for their mistakes like supports or dps do if they position badly

[humble token]

Checkmate is back

[sullen berry]

if tanks goes in by himeself and dies, he's literally feeding
if a tanks goes in with the whole squad and loses, that's a strategy

[humble token]

True can also be cordination issue since he is new here

Bruh

I think its just 3-0s today

[sullen berry]

remember sp9rk1e's debut on Paris Eternal

@plush grail

he was pretty bad, but he just had to work himself out since Hanbin was already pretty comfortable on the roster

then the confidence skyrocketed when he didn't need to play mei and pharah and just focus on genjimaxxing against Shock and Fusion

wasn't expecting a 3-0 from Zeta if I'm gonna be honest, chief

Old Ocean will actually suffer so many map losses I don't think I figured them out as faking their performance during that one scrim with Jehong on Kiri

[rugged quest]

By seeing how they performed so far in 2024

ljg was gigainting in runaway and izayaki looked mediocre next to eu tier2 players lol

even when the roster moves happened people shouldve known that its a sidegrade at best

[humble token]

Wait

Heesung kinda cracked

CHECKMATE IS BACK

Mauga??

[hazy marsh]

nice back n forth

[sullen berry]

leading the 3-0 shows he isn't just getting lucky, that's for sure

[hazy marsh]

KR 👀

[sullen berry]

bro has been playing it out but they better not choke it

dang no eichenwalde flora entry

https://clips.twitch.tv/AntsyCaringApeRedCoat-Ughsj16U2mRZ0hKt

did not have checkmate on pharah on king's row on my list of things that will definitely happen today

lmao he got nanoed for barrage and lost to nano ashe

!jumbo

[sullen berry]

Mauga no more, fortunately

[humble token]

Zeta migrh lose this one to

[sullen berry]

I think if they're gonna go winton v winton

Heesung should clear this and go 3-1

[humble token]

Nice bob lol

[hazy marsh]

lmao

[humble token]

Need some more donghak doom

[sullen berry]

Dongheads rise UP

[humble token]

I think zeta has thrown

[static pond]

Was talking about owl days

[sullen berry]

very true

that fight went on for too long

donghak was getting free ult charge and able to get away with too much the longer it dragged for zeta

[humble token]

Orisa

So close

[sullen berry]

Wow was that a close one

[sullen berry]

Jehong BABY
