in grand finals

pure bramble
#

next tournament is Mauga Sym meta. that’s the one we win

errant hornet
#

Not at lan

shut bobcat
#

😭

weary scarab
#

i would rather take a new team up and coming then a falcons vs racoons

wide carbon
#

shoulda had WBG their it woulda been more interesting

errant hornet
humble token
errant hornet
#

The games themselves were good but single elimination zzzz

shut bobcat
#

my 10 month old niece would be able to predict the outcome of falcons vs any team that isn’t raccoons

pure bramble
errant hornet
pure bramble
#

Al Qad vs Tm was fun

errant hornet
#

I mean tank meta was kinda boring but sym comps are fun

#

Just holy fuck ram is so

#

So

pure bramble
#

yea just wish it wasn’t ram

errant hornet
#

Boring

pure bramble
#

zzzz mimimi

errant hornet
#

Mb I am just jaded from solo q

#

But like

#

Zzz

wise orbit
#

sym comps are like the highest skill ceiling rush comps

#

so fun to watch

errant hornet
#

It’s like the one tank with the least skill expression by far

pure bramble
#

hold block and farm beam/rail

humble token
errant hornet
#

U don’t see where all the teams stand

#

Etc

pure bramble
shut bobcat
#

true

pure bramble
#

Dva was far more interesting

errant hornet
#

Not to take credit away tbf

weary scarab
#

lcq and a lower bracket would make me so annoyed

errant hornet
#

From falcons or anything

#

They definitely would have won regardless

humble token
errant hornet
weary scarab
#

i hate second chances options

errant hornet
#

Matches are kinda less important to me

#

Tbh

weary scarab
#

just removes the entertaining aspect

errant hornet
#

Because of random map 5 bs and u don’t see as much of a power ranking

wise orbit
#

not to sound like a redditor but I hope one day rein will be a viable pick in the highest tiers of play

pure bramble
#

i liked watching Al Qad play sym more than TM tbh

errant hornet
#

Yeah y are out from one but I view that as less competitive

#

Like under that framework ntmr woulda been in I think finals?

#

Which as much of an NA head as I am

#

Oh I mean last lan btw

#

Like

humble token
#

I prefer tm play tbh

errant hornet
#

CR looked bad on one random day and then win the tourney

#

Idk

humble token
#

Feels like al qad only won against tm due to having experience against them

#

Cuz quartz was diffing lbbd7

errant hornet
#

If the goal is to show the best team definitively than having a Lower bracket gets rid of random wins being as impactful

humble token

Rly this tourney was a battle of sym players as well

Like checkmate looked especially impressive to me

#

On venture prob proper but

wide carbon
pure bramble
#

I think Al Qad refined sym a lot more tbh

errant hornet
#

When it came to how he played around lbd esp

pure bramble
cosmic socket
#

qad were also just better off sym than tm

#

more rounded team

errant hornet

That too

TOP 3 MAIN SUPPORT

Obv

pure bramble
errant hornet
#

It’s sym it’s like the one hero he’s known for

pure bramble
#

I think overall Al Qad play it better

cosmic socket
humble token
#

I mean lbbd7 still played well on finals

#

Just rest of the team

wise orbit
humble token
#

Kellex

#

Threw

wise orbit
#

doesnt matter if you have aim bot if all you're seeing is walls

humble token
#

And then everyone started throwing

pure bramble
#

i just don’t know if Falcons would let Quartz run them down

#

like everybody else

wise orbit
#

youbi set those angles up for quartz perfectly many many times

humble token
#

I thinl quartz also has good game sense

pure bramble
#

he’s definitely the best player on the team

wise orbit
#

yea

pure bramble
#

put him on Al Qad and they probably win

cosmic socket
#

idk

#

i feel like the gap between lbbd and quartz isn't that big

humble token
#

Not sure if they would have closed espranca

wise orbit
cosmic socket
#

merits him

wise orbit
#

the only reason tm and alqad was close was due to quartz

cosmic socket
#

woke up and remembered he has a ring

humble token
#

True

#

Legit youbi was playing support

cosmic socket
#

yo

#

did hanbin play at all?

wise orbit
#

ye

weary scarab
#

2 maps

humble token
#

Yes but not in finals

cosmic socket
#

i get it

#

ram being played literally every map

wise orbit
#

alr see u guys when stage 3 starts

cosmic socket
#

hanbins a top ram but someone is like literally the best ram in the world

humble token
#

A bit dumb how ram is good in to everytjing

cosmic socket
#

^

pure bramble
humble token
#

That slow perk makes him able to counter every tank

#

Like ball use to have good matchup into ram

pure bramble
#

lbbd wasn’t too bad that series

wise orbit
humble token
#

But the perk made him busted

cosmic socket
#

i'd rather watch mauga meta than ram mirrors all day

wise orbit
#

or orisa tbh

#

ram is literally the worst

#

imo

humble token
#

Tm got similar result against t1 as falcons

cosmic socket
#

orisa meta ain't even bad

#

orisa got hype moments

humble token
#

Tm seems to do better against other comps

#

But tbh

#

Falcons is brawl team

cosmic socket
humble token
#

When they peak

cosmic socket
#

qad were pretty uncontested this lan

wise orbit
#

tm proved to be able to play the sym comp into dive in the cr match but falcons legit didnt play dive at all so it doesnt rly matter

cosmic socket
#

they just had to beat 2 emea teams they've already beaten in regionals

humble token
#

Anyway this ewc was goated

wise orbit
#

the alqad tm match went to map 6 wdym uncontested

humble token
#

Good thing about ewc

#

Is that there are many teams

shrewd flicker
#

ur eu

#

havve some hame

#

shame

cosmic socket
wise orbit
#

man I really want to go to stockholm this year but I know none of my irl friends would wanna go and watch esports

cosmic socket
#

i wanna say near every team had a close five map series

#

lemme think

wise orbit
#

@cosmic socket

cosmic socket
wise orbit
#

tm beat cr

cosmic socket
#

i'm talking about qad

#

they played geekay cc vp and tm

#

then got shit on by falcons

humble token
#

Heard a lot of rumors about al qad being best team

#

Before this

#

Or something like that

wise orbit
#

btw I was watching the cx co stream with chris crispy and those guys and all of them said falcons would be an easier match up compared to t1 in the grand final

#

LOL

wise orbit
#

yea same

humble token
#

Falcons just seem like a clutch team

wise orbit
#

then it turns out tm absolutely stomp them with the sym comp

wise orbit
#

I guess the answer was to take the mirror and rely on the talent of your players to clutch up

#

instead of forcing dive

humble token
#

Falcons has always been a brawl team

#

Never good at dive

#

Or like they are good

#

But not cr or t1 lvl

pearl harness
#

Did it only show Stadium?

wise orbit
#

the only team I think could’ve forced dive and won was cr but they fucked up with their comp choices

pure bramble
#

Proper played so good

#

Zest too

wise orbit
#

I think they would’ve won the colo map if they just played ball venture instead of winston pharah freja

#

and just played ball on the blizzard world offense

pure bramble
#

Accepting the counter comp would’ve won it for them

cosmic socket
#

every falcons member just showed up

wise orbit
#

he played so well

cosmic socket
#

^

humble token
#

I think t1 would win if they went gibralter

wise orbit
#

weirdest map draft of the tourney honestly

pure bramble
#

i think Proud was really quiet all series

humble token
humble token
wise orbit
#

lowkey think soj was just better always

humble token
#

Eh

#

Feja release

#

Was dumb broken

wise orbit
#

no this tourney

humble token
#

Oh ye

#

Def

wise orbit
#

in all situations soj felt better

humble token
#

Even in circuit

wise orbit
#

ye

humble token
#

Unless

#

Its like gibralter

#

And ur not doing a al qad strat

#

With cass

wise orbit
#

yea honestly a lot of flat maps in the map pool we got

pure bramble
#

Map pool wasn’t really good for Freja

wise orbit
#

yea

pure bramble
#

like Illios? Freja domination

#

but you can’t expect it to work on every map

humble token
#

Cass or soj

#

Tho

#

Hot take

pure bramble
#

I’m still mad Lip wouldn’t mirror Cass or Souj

humble token
#

Youbi isnt shit

humble token
pure bramble
#

he just kept freja

minor robin
pure bramble
#

he’s good at what he does

#

Sym

#

and Mei

wise orbit
#

yea

#

I feel like almost no one has a balanced take on youbi

#

either people think he's the goat or he's the worst player ever

#

in reality he's a really great sym/mei specialist and has a decent tracer

cosmic socket
#

he's just super dependent on meta

pure bramble
#

that’s why I don’t like him

cosmic socket
#

either his heroes are good or they're not

wise orbit
#

yea

#

he's really good on sym mei

#

has a decent tracer

pure bramble
#

i really like flexible dps players

wise orbit
#

do you not like whoru

pure bramble
#

I don’t like watching him when Genji sucks

wise orbit
#

you don't see youbi when his heroes suck

#

u see seicoe

pure bramble
#

i like seicoe a bit too but I haven’t watched much of him

wise orbit
#

most youbi hate feels personal tbh

cosmic socket
#

i hate the glaze he gets

#

especially when it's his tracer they're glazing

wise orbit
#

youbi probably the most divisive player in owcs lol

#

he's just a sym/mei specialist nothing more nothing less people need to chill out about him

#

both haters and glazers

pure bramble
#

i think it’s also cause his characters aren’t as flashy

#

you don’t really see his impact in the way you see Quartz

wise orbit
pure bramble
#

watching other teams try the tp high noon was sad

wise orbit
#

i dont remember TBH

cosmic socket
#

he was on tm no?

pure bramble
wise orbit
#

yea he played until 2023

pure bramble
#

Youbi got em good tho

wise orbit
#

retired right before owcs

static pond
wet bay
#

Most people dislike him unless they're Saudi glazer

wet bay
weary scarab
#

commander x talked about it on stream

#

people literally spamm youbi deaththreats eveery time he plays

#

so weird

wet bay
#

People just know about the drama last year and not much more

cosmic socket
#

but some saudi fans are convinced he aint wintrading saudi diddy

wet bay
#

Everyone liked KSAA and then heard Youbi was the reason he left and TM went to shit

#

And that's all people know for the most part

pure bramble
#

ykw

wet bay
#

I just don't really care about that kinda stuff. You can't really know any of these players

pure bramble
#

I hate how people talk shit on players anyway

#

I don’t even like doing it

wet bay
pure bramble
#

I don’t like the NA EMEA Korea trash talk

wet bay
#

Like idk if it's just me but the whole booing and toxicity between different fans is prob my least favourite thing about regular sports

pure bramble
#

i like to see the distance closed between the best teams even if it’s a struggle

#

but some mfs just have to put people down

static pond
#

Which yooubi for some reason went off on him

weary scarab
#

wasnt it kraandop

static pond
#

Plus there rumors of yuubi not getting kicked cuz he was close with the coach

static pond
weary scarab
#

he asked for a player who was benched to get his salary

static pond
#

To many esports names

weary scarab
#

and youbi said suck my cock

#

lmao

#

he said i cant do everything

static pond
#

He actually rage towards him lol

#

Like a child tbh

cosmic socket
#

i just wanna know what was up with youbi docking ksaas salary

weary scarab
#

icl tho youbi is funny af

wet bay
#

I'm not gonna defend youbi anyways and am no fan of his but they've obviously made up now and no need to aggressively hate every time he plays a game

weary scarab
#

him and ksaa are friends now too

static pond
#

Ya idc for it.

#

I don’t support him
Tho cuz of that

wet bay
#

I don't really support many players atp

static pond
#

But I don’t boo him
Ether

wet bay
#

I like Heesung and Landon the most I guess

#

And AGG but they did so bad this lan 😔

weary scarab
#

why do so many players have a darkside lol

#

surely it can be insanely hard to just be normal

glass sleet
#

LETS GO FALCONS!!!!

#

Omg they won

weary scarab
#

eveerything?

glass sleet
#

No just ow

#

This is only week 4 bro

glass sleet
#

EWC is 7 weeks

wet bay
#

I couldn't care less outside of ow

glass sleet
#

I watched Valorant apex and ow

wet bay
#

I was just rooting for ALQ but after losing Esperanca lead they got cooked

#

Though

#

Went from last place China to 2nd

#

First EU team in finals

pure bramble
#

when does next stage start

#

i always love the build up to the stage

#

seeing all the roster updates and stuff

static pond

Damn

Swept is tragic

robust patio
mental vine
mental vine
mental vine
#

lets be honest

#

if its other meta they are still cooked

#

the sym meta was a one time FAD

wet bay
#

West is getting closer in general

mental vine
#

not exactly

#

they may THINK that but reality-wise... NOT

#

@wet bay they have the meta right in their own hands

#

they just threw it away

wet bay
#

They're definitely closing the distance

#

At Dallas

mental vine
wet bay
#

0 maps

mental vine
#

dallas major is not important the WORLD FINALS are important lol

wet bay
#

Stockholm TM got a map. Then ALQ got a map in China and obviously NTMR beat CR in dive

mental vine
#

its like saying vct champions in val are more important

mental vine
#

we can say this all over again

#

but CR clapped back

cosmic socket
wet bay
#

You can say the exact opposite btw

#

CR are just dive meta frauds

#

Can't compete in Sym meta gg

mental vine
#

geekay i feel like the only team outside of china that can stand a chance against korea

cosmic socket
#

copium

wet bay
#

CR who sent Falcons to LCQ

cosmic socket
#

you cant just write it off as "oh they were shit that one time"

#

especially cr who are pretty much always on their A game

mental vine
#

XD

mental vine
wet bay
#

It's not like Falcons are the only Korean team who have played brawl either

#

AGG beat them in Korea 3-0 with similar comps and then got 0 maps this tourney

weary scarab
#

so what u are saying is that all the koreans except falcons cant play brawl at all?

#

sounds like otp to me!

mental vine
#

if what they say are "cr are dive meta frauds"

#

korea has always been dive

#

they are masters of it

weary scarab
#

and emea have always been brawl

mental vine
#

correct

wet bay
#

So how can you say they're not closing the gap when they went from 1 map in Stockholm to TM beating 2 Korean teams and ALQ making finals

#

Stockholm was a good EU meta too

weary scarab
#

so why are you only complaining about emea playing their style

mental vine
#

just accept the loss mohammed

cosmic socket
#

i love that every international event sparks disingenuous region coping discussion

static turret
#

lol

mental vine
#

what do you expect @cosmic socket

#

cuz it sparks debates on which style is superior

weary scarab
mental vine
cosmic socket
#

its all disengenuous tho

mental vine
#

i knew it from the start al qad were losing

cosmic socket
#

everyone on 100% copium intake

mental vine
#

people are saying "oh the korean teams are scared of al qad"

weary scarab
#

you know eveyrthing

cosmic socket
#

its boring

weary scarab
#

like a mind reader

mental vine
#

when reality wise its the other way around

mental vine
#

감사합니다! 🙂

weary scarab
#

especially when you say ez during the cr tm match and say that cr gonna crush them

#

and then u go afk after

wet bay
wet bay
#

They still did well but pressure got to them especially clear on Esperanca

mental vine
#

they turn it around Fire

cosmic socket
#

can we all agree that ziyad is next up

mental vine
#

perhaps

#

he is up there

cosmic socket
#

that level of play at 17 is insane

mental vine
#

might as well watch out for him in the future

#

better than ksaa?

#

we saw it

cosmic socket
#

hes gonna end up on the mt rushmore of western tanks

wet bay
#

Ksaa has been overrated for a bit

mental vine
#

that 300-0 njc match is crazy

mental vine
#

maybe infekted? LMFAO

#

the first na tank to reach champ 1? XD

mental vine
#

its just the beginning @wet bay

#

second of all when is the recolor for the juno ember skin for CR? LMFAO

wet bay
#

I'd say the biggest next up tanks are Ziyad and Heesung. Hoping Heesung gets to play with a decent team in KR stage 3 and fixes some of those communication issues etc

#

Mealgaru is good too

wet bay
#

Are Zeta ever gonna make a lan 🙏

#

Yeah idk where he could really go though. FTG was a good core but they all split and now there's a pretty clear gap between top 5 and below

#

But not much place to really slot in those top 5 teams

#

I wonder if Zeta will stay together or not, idk if they have many other options though

teal hare
#

So who won grand finals

#

I woke up now

static pond
teal hare
#

Aweee i wanted t1

glass sleet
#

Unfortunately

wet bay
#

Maybe split playtime

#

Jasmine looked pretty decent though too

cosmic socket
#

that's crazy

glass sleet
teal hare
glass sleet

wet bay
#

I've heard Heesung used to play off tank like Sigma. And seen him pull out the Dva a few times but not sure how good he is in comparison. His best is Hazard and Winston for sure

teal hare
#

And what the finals acore set was

glass sleet
teal hare
#

Yessss

glass sleet
teal hare
#

Yep

glass sleet
#

Tm 3-1 T1

#

Falcons 4-0 QAD

wet bay
#

The only game worth watching is TM Vs AQ

teal hare
#

Oh

#

I already watched that

glass sleet
#

Falcons crushed them

wet bay
#

I had so much hope in map 2 and then it all fell apart

teal hare
#

Im still gonna watch but thats
Disappointing

wet bay
#

They run it back in stockholm

glass sleet
#

Falcons needed the win cuz you need to win at least 1 title to win EWC championship

wet bay
#

I wanted to see Stalker and Hanbin play

#

Merit went crazy tho

#

Stalker didn't even go to Saudi lol

glass sleet
#

I wanted to see hanbin play!

#

He didn’t get to play a single map against qad and while they were celebrating, he looked sad.

wet bay
#

They would probably win with any of their possible lineups

#

Qad just don't have the experience in those high pressure scenarios

glass sleet
wet bay
#

Even higher pressure since they weren't expected to be there and first Western team other than Toronto

wet bay
#

Idk why but they really wanted Someone Merit

glass sleet
#

Now he won’t get much play time once the meta changes away from his heroes again

wet bay
#

I have no clue what happened with Stalker though, it's weird. Proper benched for most of the stage and then they swap around to Stalker benched all of a sudden

glass sleet
glass sleet
#

But idk

wet bay
glass sleet
#

I think stalker would rather play hs than give up on playing at all

wet bay
#

I'm surprised we didn't see much Freja this tourney

#

She got nerfed but felt like she was still strong

glass sleet
glass sleet
wet bay
#

That's true yea

#

Though I figured

#

It would be like

#

Sym Soj comps vs Freja Tracer

glass sleet
#

People played whatever they felt comfortable on

wet bay
#

It's too bad for Al Qad that it wasn't current patch

#

New DVA heavy rockets are crazy

glass sleet
#

I guess so

#

I haven’t read the patches actually

wet bay
#

They went from I think 168 damage

#

To 189 I think

glass sleet
#

Oh they buffed her perk

#

I forgot she has her other major perk

wet bay
#

It's Ziyads favourite

#

Afaik

#

They're better against armour but on the last patch you only did 15 damage total extra

glass sleet
#

So I’ve heard lol

#

That’s not worth it

#

15 is nothing

wet bay
#

It's mainly for the armour I assume and because it's more dps

#

The new one felt crazy when I played though

glass sleet
#

They buffed her for the mythic

#

Cuz she was already really good

wet bay
#

Like 4/5 of a squishy health bar just gone from rockets alone

glass sleet
#

Dva can one shot

#

She can delete hp if she wants

split flume
#

I have just woken up and seen the score

#

LOL

his rockets arent even at max heaviness

Sym being meta kinda makes things a bit more boring

Unless your a tm fan

#

Its not the tp strats

#

Its the hero pool of sym metas i dont like

#

Theres been metas syms been apart of but not the cornerstone
And then theres this current sym ramm meta

sullen berry
#

This community's causals often complain about team comps not being diverse, but I get why they don't like the hero pool involved in the sym meta

teal hare
#

Ive just entirely preferred watching the other metas
Irs not exactly that deep or complicated

sullen berry
#

Sym-ram meta changing the game tbh doesn't affect me personally

teal hare
#

Other metas especially recently have been more entertaining to me

#

It doesnt either id just still rather a different meta

I find this particular one boring in comparison

but the Dva variant is a million times more interesting to me

especially when it’s Ziyad

If the it corrrct he stay he step down if it happens again

#

If they lose to another western team ?

#

Tbf they did play pretty poorly. Just bad meta reads

#

Thought they could get by with playing whatever they wanted

#

Rather than follow the meta

static pond
#

Tbh that not a excuse for them

#

If your losing might as well mirror they kept forcing it and it just wast working

#

They have played similar comps to the ram style I do wonder what made they do full dive

Moon stepping down cuz he lost to TM? He needs to relax. Bro indirectly insulting TM lol

It clearly was a coaching issues but people expect a lot of cr

He had a meltdown when the6 lost to tm
Like first map they lost to tm i recall he was so mad he left the stage for the rest of the set

wise orbit

which i assume the coach has a lot of influence over

especially forcing winston into the sym comp

Forcing phara into soj was not it

And lip

# wise orbit yea i didnt watch the ntmr match but the tm one was clearly an issue of horrible...

CX said that he didn’t think CR were playing all that bad. Only that their comps were a little sus at times. Tbf they tried the ram comps and it didn’t work for them. They were clearly not comfortable on it especially with max in. CR have always been a team that relies heavily on dive no matter the meta. We all know they always try to force dive either by monkey or ball comps. Even when they won Dallas on mauga, they tried avoiding it as much as possible by going hog one map and going ball another. CX also said that falcons were the better mauga team but CR just played to their advantages with the map picks and their insane tank on ball

wise orbit
#

yea

#

whats ur point

static pond

Hello?

He played soj mccree and sym

wise orbit

Yeah

#

They did their best

wise orbit
#

lets be objective here who gaf about what they felt like

#

we know junbin can play ball, haz, doom

static pond
#

I me I do I support them lol

wise orbit
#

if they want to play a dive comp that works into the sym comp they could

#

also like banning lucio on blizzard world

#

wtf are we doing

static pond
#

Ye

wise orbit
#

they forced themselves to play a suboptimal backline

#

and then they play brig during the defense??

static pond
#

And sombra

wise orbit
#

yea the sombra pick was dumb as well

#

but heesang swapped to venture pretty quickly i think

static pond
#

Lip should have ran soj he can’t tap with freya

wise orbit
#

true

#

tbf the freja wasnt the biggest issue but i think soj is just a bit better

static pond
#

That why I always hated lip on it

wise orbit
#

but like it didn't make or break their comp

static pond
#

He not good on it imo

#

Compare to other players

yea

just questionable shit all around

"Once sym is used, the game turns into chess, esp on payload/push maps. It's really important to know the enemy tp locations, which only increase with the distance perk. On maps with lots of tp options, you can feel the level of detail with teams like QAD."

Guxue said he got a warning for taking off his shoes during the match—he usually plays without shoes and sits cross legged. Mew mentioned that Guxue can't play with shoes on and that several other Korean players also wanted to play without shoes but weren’t allowed.

Im sorry they didnt let the players take there shoes off??

- In the finals against TFC, it wasn’t that they were particularly difficult — it felt more like we collapsed on our own. Losing map 2 really shook our mental. I usually try to keep the team steady when I notice others getting mentally

@static turret ur goat been sneaking his way on these rosters for years

# hybrid hollow idk if the pros want 6v6 back

It’s interesting you say that, last year uncoachable released a vid interviewing somone, I can’t even remember who though, it was after ewc, and they claimed 95% of the pros want it, and so did the player on the show

#

It was the time aaron Keller released the first 6v6 dev blog

#

And it was a big thing for the pros at the ewc venue

#

I would link the video but I can’t I don’t think

hybrid hollow
#

The west lost a lot of players when the change happened

viscid hatch
#

Yeah

#

Unter also said all the Koreans he talked to preferred 6v6 because of the higher level of skill and teamwork involved

#

Which is good for an esport as it’s a coordinated environment, which eliminates some of the casual players issues they have with 6v6

#

Like tank matchups being bad in ranked isn’t an issue in pro

#

I think lots of the issues for casual 6v6 doesn’t apply to pros

#

Queue times, tank synergy’s; etc
