i am

[viscid hatch]

I liked glads that season

[robust patio]

falc banning torb

[viscid hatch]

Torb viable because he’s one of the only dps that doesn’t get forced out by hazard instantly

Torb hazard counter

I’m confused as to why T1 ban orisa

[robust patio]

cus they go well with torb symm meta

insane zest

insane proud

PROUD CALM YOUR SOJOURN

💀💀💀

[agile kestrel]

Holy fuck proud is insane

[robust patio]

chiyo used beat just to lose a point

[agile kestrel]

Good

Fuck that guy

[deft marlin]

[robust patio]

[agile kestrel]

Zest do anything with blade challenge

Proud boys stand up

[robust patio]

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-12869046600151364058

[agile kestrel]

Wtf is with that monitor

[deft marlin]

😭

[agile kestrel]

Does he for real play like that

[robust patio]

LOL

[robust patio]

nah

chiyo potm

[wet bay]

Opener is something else 😭

[robust patio]

zest wouldve gotten potm if t1 won

[wet bay]

Opener makes me thankful for Vindaim

[robust patio]

his dps was on another lvl

[weary talon]

Damn

Proud so good

[deft marlin]

proud did so well

[agile kestrel]

He’s up next

[robust patio]

t1 fell to top5 now

[weary talon]

Donghak is also so good

He improved a lot from last season

[weary talon]

Its crazy how all of these teams would all be top 3 in NA and europe

[wet bay]

I can't wait to see T1 vs FTG

Who will throw more, Opener or Vindaim

[weary talon]

Opener id have to guess

Donghak is also familiar with acts of trolling though

[deft marlin]

when do cr and flc play eachother?

[wet bay]

It's crazy opener has been playing since the start of OWL and is still employed

Playing like this

[robust patio]

feb 16

[wet bay]

Oh wait I got him mixed up with closer

Still crazy that guy is on T1 though

[agile kestrel]

T1 going to map 5

[weary talon]

Who’s closer

[wet bay]

Another mid supp player

[robust patio]

no need to watch next game

zeta gonna 3-0

[deft marlin]

😭

[sullen berry]

gg to T1

able to push team falcons back on the leaderboard and remain 2nd

[wet bay]

One of these days I'm gonna instantly tune out of these games to miss some insane reverse sweep by the worst team

As soon as I see vec, poker face or new era I lose all interest lol

[sullen berry]

seems obvious but with hero bans, the games have been a lot more interesting from the middle teams and above

but there's absolutely zero changes in the top 2 at this rate

and we're left with falcons and raccoons looking more vulnerable but not that much weaker

[robust patio]

real

[weary talon]

Falcons look a lot weaker

They’ve been taken to a map 5 twice now

[wet bay]

Well we still have the regional tournament and the Asia LAN. I think FTG have a decent shot to beat one of them

[weary talon]

I think CR is the team to beat

[wet bay]

CR looks very strong and now perfect new comp for them

[weary talon]

Ball is looking really strong so once hazard fades away i think falcons will start to lose some games

[wet bay]

I don't think Falcons have much chance against CR really, especially on maps like Gibraltar how Hanbin just had to force Zarya cause he can't play the main tanks

[weary talon]

Because there’s no way hanbin can match anyone on ball

Yeah hanbin is definitely the weak point

[wet bay]

The only thing stopping FTG or T1 from beating Falcons was their drunk main supports

[weary talon]

Opener is like

Masaa

[wet bay]

FTG have looked so good but just can't close it out against the top teams

[weary talon]

Ftg took falcons to a map 5

[wet bay]

They were only a few fights away from beating Falcons, Zeta and CR

[weary talon]

They’re fourth right

[wet bay]

Yeah

[weary talon]

I think we will see power shifts once meta changes

Cr will definitely be the best and T1 or ftg will definitely be able to beat falcons or zeta

Well zeta idk bc i don’t really know how flexible bernar is

But hanbin is quite inflexible and they cant sub him out

[wet bay]

It's just kinda crazy to me the difference in main supports

Like

Trade Chiyo or Ch0r0ng with Vindaim and suddenly FTG would be the top team

[weary talon]

Yeah but even rak would perform well with lip shu junbin on his team

I think vindaim is pretty alright tbh

[wet bay]

Nah i don't think that's it though, you barely see Chiyo just getting picked off first or wasting beats the ways Vindaim does

That beat on Esperanca where he just ran away from Heesung was something else

[weary talon]

Yeah it must’ve been poor communication

Cause there’s no way a owl pro doesn’t know how far beat travels

[wet bay]

Just a mistake

Guess he's thinking about DVA on point while they're so close to lead

[weary talon]

Well overall vindaim and opener are still decent players

Comparatively to like Na

[wet bay]

Yeah I just find it weird like

You have these players like Proud and Seonjun who can match up against the top 2 teams but then Opener and Vindaim are just there getting consistently gapped

[agile kestrel]

Poor carpe…

2nd once again

[hybrid hollow]

Wait when did cr lose two maps

My memory is fading gg

[agile kestrel]

Finn has the nicest skin I have ever seen

[split flume]

Ftg and zeta took 1 map each

[robust patio]

ftg zeta

[torn portal]

damn that T1 Falcons game was a real scrap! Zest was always there for some massive plays!! (ninja low taper fade reference drop a mango in the chat)

[hybrid hollow]

He is French right?

[wise orbit]

Unfortunate

[wise orbit]

[viscid hatch]

Gg proud make them look silly

[wise orbit]

you watched the falcosn t1 game?

[torn portal]

Jaewoo: jaewoo

[hybrid hollow]

Shitty ult usage across the board

We're using ram ult in a lost fight when we have a 20 meter lead 💔💔

[wise orbit]

hahahah

and he gets out

[hybrid hollow]

What is this match

Why is this fat ass ram stealing cart

And getting out for free

[wise orbit]

emea moment

xerion is rly nice actually

he doesnt ult after the fight is lost like some other flex supps

fdgod potm?

ig he kinda clutched up on havana

[torn portal]

He gets potm for that clutch on havana and he didn’t ajax once

Proud of him

[hybrid hollow]

When doing the bare minimum gets you potm 💔💔

[wise orbit]

anyway best western game of the day after this

[wise orbit]

that clutch on havana was nice tho

[torn portal]

I like how they are asking fd on how hard is it integrating soon and he said “Oh he’s not washed at all”

[wise orbit]

but xzodyal was more consistent during the match i felt like he deserved it more

france on tob

[static turret]

Did peps win

[wise orbit]

yes

3-1

[static turret]

3-1?

Ah

[hybrid hollow]

Potential peak next

[static turret]

Crazy how the non French players were the best ones

Gen g vs who?

[wise orbit]

alq

[static turret]

I mean

[hybrid hollow]

The redemption teams

[static turret]

3-1

Gen.g

3-2

This SHOULD be a map 5 series

[hybrid hollow]

alq hasn't looked that bad in their last matches

iirc

My memory is fried tho

[static turret]

They both had a bad first round

[hybrid hollow]

Everyone had a bad first round

[static turret]

True

Not vp

They’ve been cooking since ts sharted

Started

[hybrid hollow]

sharted 💔

[wise orbit]

ts sharted

[static turret]

Oos

Oops

I can’t say that here

[wise orbit]

icl ts pmo sm rn r u fr rn

[static turret]

I thought this was a different place

I said that off instinct

[hybrid hollow]

Gg

[static turret]

Anyways

Vestola black magic

Vp are undefeated

[torn portal]

the preds in commanderx is 13.7x in favor of geng winning

[static turret]

But Gen g should win

[torn portal]

LOL

[static turret]

AL Q are a good team but like

Idk

Mag gameplay

[torn portal]

80% to 20% now

[wise orbit]

they lost against peps, won a complete shitshow against vision and won against hadi ball

[static turret]

Also did falcons rat themselves another win vs t1?

[torn portal]

he crazy against not korean tanks

[hybrid hollow]

T1 almost won

[torn portal]

it was a great series

[hybrid hollow]

Woah new caster wtf

[torn portal]

I hope t1 continues to be competitive

[static turret]

T1 = ftg in almost winning a series

[torn portal]

^^^

[hybrid hollow]

Wait it's moxi

[static turret]

They need that extra boost

[hybrid hollow]

ow been using the same talent for 5 years I kinda respect it

[static turret]

Ftg t1 and zeta all can make lan if they just beat falcons

[wise orbit]

I think we will see mostly see mag ball and ziyad dva probably

[static turret]

Mag ball💔

[torn portal]

T1 were about to win but then donghak and chiyo locked eyes on stage and then he couldn’t focus he was terrified

[wise orbit]

dont hate

its good

[static turret]

😭

Chiyo looks evil

Ngl

[torn portal]

he was shaking in game

[static turret]

Like

He looks like he beats people

Is that rude

?

[torn portal]

Donghak looks so unserious in thus picture

[wise orbit]

topdragon vs checkmate who has the better korean

[torn portal]

He looks upset

[hybrid hollow]

I can't help but laugh whenever I see Korean ow players lined up

Like why they all got that fuck ass cut 😭

[torn portal]

Checkers is good but TD will be better

[static turret]

Fielder look zoned out

He been playing ow too long

[hybrid hollow]

Definitely is

[static turret]

Chiyo abuse 100%

[hybrid hollow]

Lip being blinded by the lights of god

[torn portal]

Sauna the goat

[static turret]

He’s too tall he gotta lean in

He has his monitor on max height and he still can’t see it eye level

[torn portal]

Ppl always say chiyo but it was likely that everyone pitched in hating on the kid

[static turret]

Not even his fault

[static turret]

Besides lip

Lip don’t seem like it

[torn portal]

Lip is so stoic he cba to flam e

[static turret]

He just here to do his own thing

Nonchalant goat

[hybrid hollow]

Why admiral looked so taken aback

Bro had to take his glasses off

[torn portal]

“Don’t die next time donghak” said in the most neutral monotone voice ever

[static turret]

Stalker look like he’s about to curse someone

[wise orbit]

what does tred and ziyad even play

what are their hero pools

[static turret]

He saw Donghak do a egregious play

[hybrid hollow]

Donghak bullied so much he don't even got the cam on

[torn portal]

Both off tanks iirc lol

[hybrid hollow]

Tred is the main tank guy

[static turret]

Why is stalkers background so dark

That mf evil

[hybrid hollow]

by main tank I just mean Winston

[torn portal]

Tred main tank but not rein or winston or ball or

[hybrid hollow]

And it's not good

He's like a lesser Hadi

[torn portal]

He can play mauga and ram pretty good?

[hybrid hollow]

Off tank guy who swears he can play Winston

[weary scarab]

ziyad better then tred

[torn portal]

His haz is decent

[hybrid hollow]

Hadi swears he's a main tank player when his second best hero is sig

[static turret]

If we had a owl player boxing match who winning

[wise orbit]

tred has a good haz no?

[static turret]

Hydron and coluge can’t compete

[torn portal]

Maybe but i just never seen him play except one game

[wise orbit]

or am i misremembering

[torn portal]

tred solid

[wise orbit]

hm

well they will be playing dva most likely

so i assume they will play ziyad

since he is the off tank guy

[hybrid hollow]

Ziyad is better if he's only on dva

Probably the same on anything else

[static turret]

Junkbuck

Goat

[torn portal]

LIP or hadi

both purely because of height

[hybrid hollow]

Wait

Junkbuck vs Crusty

[static turret]

I think hadi might win just bc he got muscle on him

[torn portal]

Meth vs Crack

[static turret]

Lip got the huggy wuggy build

Yk?

[torn portal]

he’s 8 feet tall

[static turret]

Slender man

Is there any official lip height tho

Like

[hybrid hollow]

ik lip jumper some ass

[static turret]

He’s 6,4 6,5 minimum

[hybrid hollow]

[torn portal]

These stats must be reversed like

Sauna was carrying tho anyway he my potm

[wise orbit]

[torn portal]

In a 3-0 it doesn’t rly matter potm

[torn portal]

@nenwhy please

[hybrid hollow]

Lep and spawnroom go hand and hand

[pure bramble]

watching Pela on ball after a da and night of Infekted and HeeSung feels so weird

[hybrid hollow]

Surely we ban ball next week

[pure bramble]

they cannot ball i fear

[hybrid hollow]

They got xomba on respawn sym

Get it

[hybrid hollow]

ban ball and you save ur dva pick chat is this the move?

[pure bramble]

not doing that on eichen felt weird

cause king is pretty good on the tracer no?

[hybrid hollow]

I guess they wanted xomba off tracer

Is the 8 year old tracer otp really that scary tho idk

[pure bramble]

i mean king has a pretty nice moment on this map yesterday against TL

[hybrid hollow]

kronik never beating the curse

when ur lowkey the best hitscan in na but can't get a placement anyone cares about 💔💔💔

[static turret]

He gotnone

[hybrid hollow]

nvm

[static turret]

Ngl why only one team can correctly play the meta

And that’s cr

[hybrid hollow]

@nenwhy

What happened to main support players

we went from moth to this

[static turret]

We ONLY had moth

Vega is the 2nd best na ms oat

Genuinely

[hybrid hollow]

main support players just forgettable

ppl wouldn't know about moth if he didn't win two rings

[static turret]

He has his own meta

But true

You gotta be a god ms

[hybrid hollow]

Ong not even the ow devs themselves know who moth is

[static turret]

You not lyin

They heard pros call it that and just went with it

[hybrid hollow]

rad esports get past second point challenge 💔

[static turret]

Why run sym torb if no hasard

[cosmic socket]

is rad really losing to avidity

[hybrid hollow]

To keep the hazard gone

They swap off sym torb then rad go hazard then they go back to sym torb

[cosmic socket]

i feel like rad is significantly better than them

[hybrid hollow]

Plus sym torb just busted fr

[hybrid hollow]

Are we sure about that

[cosmic socket]

?

wym

[hybrid hollow]

They don't have the 10 year old tracer demon

He hasn't played tracer in 2 maps but that doesn't matter

[static turret]

Lep hits a S tier beat

Watch

[hybrid hollow]

Gg he's gonna ajax now

Oh nvm

[static turret]

Wasn’t even a bad beat

They just found 0

This might be game

We need plays made

Without a ult

Slowest neutral oat

What’s next

Slop?

[hybrid hollow]

Liquid vs shiki

[static turret]

3-0

Amplify might not win a single map

[hybrid hollow]

They already have 3

[static turret]

I meant

A single match

Not map

Actually

They could beat rad

[hybrid hollow]

Nah

Rad is definitely better than the foners

[static turret]

Ss this when they lose 3-2💔

To amplishit

We need rad x avidity back

That’s a good team

[glass sleet]

Besides the first series. Today has been boring.

I’m not even gonna bother watching the last one

[pure bramble]

don't be hating on my foner

hop off my foner

[torn portal]

avidity my goats

i didn’t expect pela to ball out like dat

[hybrid hollow]

The control center ball

Streets saying liquid hitting the 3-0 so we can catch the super bowl

[cosmic socket]

that was just mean

[static turret]

We will infact catch it

[cosmic socket]

mean spirited

[static turret]

It’s true

[wise orbit]

is this the first time a team actually bans ball against a ball team :p

[hybrid hollow]

Rupal can't drop this map ever

He won owl on this map he gets a winners boost when he plays it

Danny missed the slide twice

[cosmic socket]

[torn portal]

@hybrid hollow who u got winning the sb

[hybrid hollow]

I don't watch the sport so idk but I fw Philly

People seem to think it's talents or something

Though who knows

I don't think talents would be good at all really, fun in a silly arcade mode for a bit but not for the actual game

[glass sleet]

I’m thinking it could be hero bans in ranked

[wet bay]

But since they said it would be groundbreaking and something they've never done before idk what else it could be

[glass sleet]

Hero bans

[wet bay]

They technically did hero bans before and that isn't groundbreaking

At all

[glass sleet]

The way they did it isn’t at all like the one we talking about

[wet bay]

Yeah ik but they wouldn't say 'something groundbreaking we've never done before' just to put bans in

[glass sleet]

If “groundbreaking” is supposed to be some kind of hint like “out of this world” for the coming comp skin

[wet bay]

Hero bans would be ass and make me want to play less I think

[wet bay]

They aren't gonna make some huge announcement with all this streamers for that

[glass sleet]

Idk about that.

[glass sleet]

Streamers?

[wet bay]

They're having some event to announce it with like 100 costreamers

[glass sleet]

Wtf. Do we even have that many co streaming ow?

I guess they’ll just do what they did last time and pay for non overwatch streamers to stream ow for a day

[wet bay]

Well 100 was an over exaggeration lol

It's like 40 or something I think

[glass sleet]

Anyway I hope I don’t hate the new changes. I’m looking forward to it

[glass sleet]

40 more than what I had in mind

[wet bay]

I think it will either be something nice and fresh or just ruin the game

Personally I don't even understand the hate for the game right now. Yeah Hazard is kinda op and balance could be better but I still have fun when I play

[glass sleet]

S9 was great till they just buffed everyone’s damage again and one shots are back

[wet bay]

I never really liked S9

[glass sleet]

I don’t have the game. I just hate a few things about it

[wet bay]

Reducing heals because a single torb turret hit you is so stupid

[glass sleet]

You mean the passive?

[wet bay]

Yeah

[robust patio]

geng beat qad damn

[glass sleet]

Torb rn is actually busted

I had no idea torb did so much damage. I was playing him and I was just deleting people

[stoic juniper]

It’s Cass

[crimson idol]

it was 3-0 right?

[stoic juniper]

W/o falloff

Bro I knew them microbuffing torb was a poor choice

Now he just runs lobbies because overload is absurd

[robust patio]

yes

[robust patio]

sad lip

[crimson idol]

lowkey did not expect a 3-0 after qad beat twisted ngl

[wet bay]

I'm surprised the Koreans actually play this EU cancer type stuff instead of just mirroring dive tbh

[robust patio]

twisted is washed

[crimson idol]

oh yeah 100%

[glass sleet]

And his turret has so much hp

[robust patio]

i looked at toubi plays

[glass sleet]

And dmg actually

[crimson idol]

but still, thought qad would make it at least map 4 or 5

[robust patio]

youbi was washed af

[wet bay]

Same with sym tp it got buffed for no reason

[glass sleet]

How many clips that tp need now? Man too many

[stoic juniper]

Most meaningless buff oat

Btw

Like why are we giving tp more hp

[glass sleet]

It’s so people could use the TP before it got destroyed but that only happens in pro play

[stoic juniper]

The issue is

[wet bay]

Did you see T1 on Gibraltar where Zest was busy fighting Torb turret and his whole team just dies while he spends two clips and a recall on it 😭

[stoic juniper]

The character is just poor design

[glass sleet]

All the annoying heroes are actually good now

[wet bay]

I think Sym tp is a cool design but no one destroyed it in ranked anyways

[stoic juniper]

Yeah idk about giving turret 250 hp with 1 tank

[glass sleet]

That shit has way too much hp

[stoic juniper]

That wasn’t the brightest idea from blizzard

[glass sleet]

Devs don’t understand this at all. They continue buffing a hero over and over again not cuz the hero is bad, but cuz no one wants to play it

So at some point, people figure out the hero is busted

Only time gets played

[wet bay]

Why did they buff ball so much even

[glass sleet]

Ball legeit is top two most hated tanks for me

[wet bay]

I never felt like he was bad at all honestly

[glass sleet]

And they keep buffing him!!

[wet bay]

And just gets a huge buff with the rework thing

If he's gonna have retract it needs a cooldown

[glass sleet]

“Ball is annoying. How can we make him less annoying? Oh let’s give teammates MORE HEALTH when ball presses E”

[wet bay]

Right now, without cool down, retract just replaces his use of tech

Like

Why would I do that jump on a corner for slam anymore

[glass sleet]

Ball doesn’t die anymore

I genuinely hate ball. I hate everything about him. I hate that he’s constantly booping nonstop, I hate that he slams you upwards every few second, I hate that he just presses E and suddenly has 1000 hp and I hate that he doesn’t die

A good reason to buff him

[robust patio]

dodo thinking he can dive shu

[late saddle]

Holy fuck

[static turret]

Give him another year

This is his first year and he already made top 8 kr

Although new era is 1-5 they got like 2 players that have potential

[robust patio]

real

[static turret]

Can we talk about the downfall of kai

Watching him on Atlanta he was 10x better

[robust patio]

yes

he fell during flashops showdown

[weak frost]

it's ok tune in for the next patch notes where they will yet again microbuff ball and doomfist

[wet bay]

He's quite mid now

I would've preferred Sparkr or Xzodyal on the team

Lbbd7 has also impressed me more so far

[cosmic socket]

hes actually not bad off pharah he just decides to play that for some reason

[robust patio]

[sullen berry]

Man, Japan is awesome, they're not heavily reliant on torb and symmetra duo because most of their teams don't depend on it

[stray quarry]

Wdg and huge orgs

Falcons t1 cr and zeta

[sullen berry]

They own the facility it's being operated in, doesn't cut the costs much to cover OWCS Pacific but the ticket sales would cover the costs of renting out space somehwere else and are cheap enough it brings in regular sales during the weekend through player signings and merch even if the team you're watching isn't playing the whole day.

oh yeah and a chance to have your cheer art appear on broadcast.

There are several reasons to tune in during and as after the breaks now, like when Hanbin showed off his monitor setup yesterday between maps

[worn falcon]

"Admin he off angling his monitor"

[sullen berry]

Peak tank play

[static turret]

If Owcs keeps going in this direction it could really do amazing

It already is

But it can go further

Owcs was meant for everyone and not as comp has owl but the lans are extremely comp and are only going to get better

I wish they would advertise it a little more tho

[cosmic socket]

owcs 100% has the chance to be better than owl

[split flume]

i js wish they had enough money to get like, 4 teams from each region

16 team lan is the dream

[cosmic socket]

i think owcs would be better than owl if they hosted a lan near me

[split flume]

they should host a lan in australia just for me

[static turret]

Ngl seeing 4 teams from na eu and china go against kr just wouldn’t be exciting 😭

[split flume]

yeah but

cr falcons t1 and zeta all at lan

oh my god

[static turret]

After they get done beating on na and eu

Then maybe we get a few good matches between the kr teams

Just free money for kr

And a free vacation for any non 1st or 2nd seeded na and eh team 😭

First game of the lan and we got timeless vs falcons

Or t1 vs TU

[split flume]

how many times did cr and toronto play last year

[static turret]

Uhh

Ewc and Stockholm

Right ?

We don’t talk about Dallas

[split flume]

they played each other 4-5 times or smth

toronto only ever got 1 map LOL

[static turret]

Cr is uber broken team

The best team ever assembled

I think

[split flume]

i mean

they haven't won a ring......

[static turret]

They won ewc and Dallas

And both teams they played are also demon teams

Falcons have legit 5 mvp caliber players

And Toronto at the time got the perfect meta for their team

[gusty rampart]

wasnt perfect meta for team

they just utilized hero bans smarter than most if not all the teams

[wet bay]

It's just baked into the Saudi mindset, they too Pharah pilled

[wet bay]

Faceit admins got no clue what's going on it is unsurprising

[shut trench]

Been out of the scene for a bit, and someone told me u cant enter official tournaments anymore without paying for like faceit pro?? is that real because I maybe wanted to try and comeback?

[glass sleet]

You join faceit league and play at your level. If you’re good enough to play in masters level which is the highest level. The top two teams of masters go to playoffs with bottom two OWCS teams and if you win you start playing in OWCS

And it’s 7$ a month to for faceit league I think last time I checked

You also gain faceit points to buy free stuff by competing

If they can properly integrate this it's actually huge

[balmy wolf]

would legit just queue ranked in faceit from then on, if it was fully integrated into the game, that'd be even better but dunno how that'll work for console, dunno if faceit even works for console

[static turret]

It doesn’t

But faceit comp for ow would prob just be stack vs stack

Would be hero bans and map selection

They should bring back the team search feature from ow1 except this time you find scrims from ingame

Eirher with randoms or teams

[balmy wolf]

nah the testing they have right now is full comp mode like how we got in ow rn. currently it's stacks i think but this one they're testing allows solo queue as well

[weary scarab]

its not meant as an insult. by schizo i mean you thinking they have some kind of moto behind a pictrue on twitter.

its whataboutism

[wet bay]

Youbi ordered them to put Hadi on the post to shift the blame

I honestly don't think Hadi played too badly that series, mainly was just terrible play from the supports and Youbi did especially bad

Lol, I have been researching 2018 OWL and watching these DVAs just throw their bomb trying to get kills is funny
