getting a triple on primal with a mf pink monkey is a very specific fantasy

[teal hare]

[teal hare]

Damn
I need this mf

[sharp merlin]

i got the ow champions series mercy skin out of a lootbox but i only got the home skin and not the away. has anyone else had this happen and do i need to get each skin separately?

[teal hare]

Champions skins I believe are different

The normal team ones give both

Champion ones are usually unlockabke separately

[sharp merlin]

uggh alright. just wanted to make sure before i punched my monitor. thank you

[teal hare]

It was impossible to get only the home or away for the owl skins but you can only have 1 owcs skin

[teal hare]

Yea
Weird coding thing is the cause of it

[sharp merlin]

do you think they would fix it or no?

[sacred gulch]

idk when it played out but when i was driving home emong said he had shit on for 13 more hours at 5:40 am (when i got off work)

woke up and had everything from the drops

[wind cipher]

Visit the gleam support page, its not that difficult once you link each account for the first time

You just have to press continue to verify you followed, posted a message with the # etc.

[undone frost]

watching pro ow is still beneficial regardless

learn a lot

[limpid nexus]

serious question, playing winston how high rank can I get before Im useless or need to play the more meta tanks?

[teal hare]

I GOT SPARK BALL LETS GOOOOO BEST TEAM COLOURS

also excelsior reaper

[sacred gulch]

top 1

[limpid nexus]

lollll fr tho i just dont see any winstons on leaderboard

[sacred gulch]

im serious

[limpid nexus]

its just horse horse horse or dva domina sig

[sacred gulch]

monkey is an essential for being a good tank player

[limpid nexus]

what else should I learn?

[sacred gulch]

he just happens to be hurting cause of some counters rn

[vestal spoke]

truthnuke

[torn portal]

Not true at all LOL

just go dva

[teal hare]

It’s the gamesense and fundamentals monkey needs to excel at

[glass sleet]

I didn’t watch the scrims themselves but the games were fun. First maps where they had to all play the same new heroes was interesting. Chiyo and funnyastro look like they’re the two best cats atm. Tm looking like a strong team as a whole instead of tm just needing Quartz to kill everyone every fight. I was disappointed in VP’s performance with the roster they have. Jaewoo looked really good. Teams still have a chance to change their rosters and I have a few teams that I think should.

Also all the non Koreans getting to experience what Korean teams do every weekend is nice

[sacred gulch]

?

get busy at work and always come back to some bullshit

dvas floor and ceiling are too low to teach much of anything

shes just good

[torn portal]

You don’t need a main tank to succeed in the year of our lord 2026

[sacred gulch]

and this is champ level advice?

cause im a gm player at best

monkey is very important to the tank role

[torn portal]

Close enough

I finished gm1

Especially in an esports context you don’t need monkey

But especially 10x you don’t need monkey in ladder

in fact you should stay off monkey more often than not in ladder

[cosmic socket]

monkey is trash on ladder

just go dva

[carmine igloo]

Like how are we releasing a team that was runner up in worlds and picking up ts

Ain’t no way we got sirmajed instead of landon 😭

[cosmic socket]

the 2025 al qadsiah rosters salary demands got too high i would imagine

i highly doubt they willingly released them

[sly rock]

How are we obtaining esport lootboxes

I barely watched any of them.

You have to watch the streams for enough time for the drops to actually fully activate

or

sorry i just dont get how it work

[robust patio]

[wicked quarry]

so its 2 winners then

[robust patio]

so there will be no cr vs tl

only cr vs falc vs t1

same region

[wicked quarry]

yes ok

and its like 2 winners

a winnr from bottom

and winner from up

then they play vs each other?

or what

[cosmic socket]

have falcons officially stated theyre dropping proper

[robust patio]

ntmr was there in 2025 beating cr with a team of leftover players nobody wanted

ntmr was there in stage 2 beating ssg and beating tm in a ft2 at ewc

sad to see this them go, this orgs given so many up and coming na talents a chance to play in the big leagues

Ntmr was the first western team that beat Crazy Racoon outside of the Korean teams Falcons and T1

do yall have like a character usage statistics chart

for like high level play

like owcs or smth

[crimson idol]

They sometimes show those graphics but for the most part they don't record it a ton

I'm starting to track them but at least for bootcamp there isn't a ton of variance

[oak monolith]

ah okay

i stopped playing rivals i kinda got bored of the way the meta is treated

i was curious about ow stats

if its just like the same few heroes or not

[reef seal]

Seems like money to me

[static pond]

Most likely there not that big of a org

Most likely really wanted a parther spot to earn more money

[reef seal]

I wonder how much it is yearly to fund an org that competes on LAN

[static pond]

I was assuming they were leaving after no parther slot

[pallid spoke]

I’d imagine it was after they couldn’t get the tred scyle xzodyal package

bc they were trialing vs og dsg

and once their stuff fell apart it was gg

There a contenders level org

Not much money in there pockets

Didn’t they buy out infekted from nrg

wasn’t that bc they didn’t get partnered

[pure bramble]

I see it already

i see the vision

do u guys think it’ll be Proper or Stalk3r

[split flume]

proper

stalker going to cr i think

bernar/proper/knife/shu/viol2t is the leak

for zeta

[crimson idol]

proper shu will go insane

[unreal sonnet]

why did pelican retire?

[unreal sonnet]

stalk3r was duo queueing with heesang before

also he was at cr accomodations

closest friend in lip's friendlist aswell

[viscid hatch]

Becoming unc and probs lost some passion

He has a good career

2 owl finals

[unreal sonnet]

ow is reviving

[viscid hatch]

Rookie of the year

[unreal sonnet]

why would he loes passion

[viscid hatch]

For pros not really

Most of the changes are good for pros (IN MY OPINION) also explains why there hasn’t been many stand out rookies anymore

Money and high level meta staleness probs the big issues

It’s been lucio Kiriko 90% of the time

5v5 tanking also pretty boring and homogenised to watch

[robust patio]

hmm

[weary talon]

What kinda fucking interest is that aid???

I’m sure he meant common knowledge or something
Not being the goat at identifying social cues

thank god i got his signature

[mortal cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/salute-honor-funeral-fallen-soldier-gif-27671644

Sad he never got 1st

But still a good career overall from Atlanta to Houston to M80 to Zeta

[slender torrent]

When did Pelican play for the mayhem lol

[unreal sonnet]

2374 division

[mortal cipher]

He didn’t I never said Florida

[mortal cipher]

Sadly ye

Last year Zeta was basically a Bernar Pelican carry the team

[slender torrent]

I’m talking about the post they made announcing it

In #esports-news

[mortal cipher]

Maybe trying to substitute for M80

[slender torrent]

Could be

[mortal cipher]

Because they have O2 Atlanta Houston Zeta, but no M80 logo

[robust patio]

no logo for m80

[mortal cipher]

Ye

[unkempt hemlock]

He bombed a ficus 👀

[sullen berry]

The ficus was the florida mayhem logo

Ive since replaced it because m80 is a fraudulent org and removed all copies of the old logo

Replaced it instead with Old Ocean when he was actually their assistant coach that year

[teal hare]

Tommathan vid is what this is referencing

[soft crow]

Hey @willow plinth what time do you usually play and if you got this message tell me what is your time you got this message so that I’ll know what time is it there in this time and now it’s 11:28 am here

[pure bramble]

why are people more hesitant to rate TVNT as the best tank itw

he’s having a bit of a hot streak rn

[unreal sonnet]

they dont watch esports

[cosmic socket]

unter propaganda

[pure bramble]

😭

[cosmic socket]

tbf tvnt leveled up an incredible amount from his performance last year

hell even 2025 stage 1

[pure bramble]

I swear

he’s in that tier with donghak Junbin and hanbin

[cosmic socket]

ima be real tho he's somewhat of a dva ram merchant

although that's like every modern western tank

[pure bramble]

yea but like

nah even his Zar and Hazard are good

i was gonna say tho

he’s pretty much solo tanking

[mortal cipher]

Ye

[sullen berry]

Honestly i thought this a kellygdh video from the handnail

[crimson idol]

i cant wait for more of these type of vids to pop up for this next owcs season

[robust patio]

💀

[unreal sonnet]

hes good at domina too

i got a question why do tracers hit tanks alot in pro matches?

i saw jaewoo pov he was like hitting tank or fighting tracer at the side almost everytime

[stray jackal]

Those are the only targets that he can shoot

If you don't want to triple blink in or something

[crimson idol]

waiting for opportunities to open, good tracer gameplay is lowkey slow and "looks boring"

[cosmic socket]

emea is so fucking stacked this year

like this is a 5th-6th level team and i wouldn't even call them terrible

[unreal sonnet]

i expected good tracers to kill everyone in 1 mag but they were actually just hitting tank all day 😭

[crimson idol]

me when suzu exists

but yes they have the potential to

[unreal sonnet]

suzu is pretty long cooldown ability

[crimson idol]

but they need the opening to do so

[unreal sonnet]

i guess they hit their tank

so their back line comes closer to care the tank

[crimson idol]

its just sitting neutral

if u push too far, your resources are depleted and you cant "go" on any followup

so save it for when the opportunity opens rather than make a hero play

extra pressure on tank never hurts too much

[unreal sonnet]

use too many blinks to reach their back line

so you wont have blink to actually fight?

[crimson idol]

that and recall yes

if no recall or blinks, u cant go aggro

no aggro means no effective dive

[unreal sonnet]

does such play work in ranked too

[crimson idol]

works even better bc u have chuds throwing resources poorly

more windows of opportunity

[unreal sonnet]

i should try doing that ig

[crimson idol]

wizardhyeong has a good vid on that topic

chill pill concept

like technically u can just triple blink and headshot combo everyone, but thats such a hard thing to do

[unreal sonnet]

yeah

[grave python]

EMEA on top

[cosmic socket]

i think tm and vp are pretty locked for 1st and 2nd but i think 3rd will a somewhat dogfight between geekay alqad and anyone's legend

fuck it maybe peps pulls an upset again and places 3rd

1. tm
2. vp
3. geekay
4. qad
5. aa
6. peps

We're going to need a bigger bracket to fit all these AI Generated OW team logos at the end of the year, including O2Blast

Prob Nyan or whoever as the Hog goat

[crimson idol]

woah heesung edison

havent seen/havent payed attention to those names in a hot min

[sullen berry]

I think its basically locked in, ENTER FORCE.36 is the most likely, while REVATI, Toxix Hamster or SixBall are my personal favorites i want to break in

Uwinks with Develop is too funny

[mortal cipher]

man proved he was on Shanghai just as a Merchant

[robust vine]

hey guys

[crimson idol]

i have 0 clue on who the other players are at all except CLEAR

[sullen berry]

This is exactly how it must feel watching OWCS Korea blind but you hear a bunch of people hype up 1 of the three korean partner teams.

[crimson idol]

highkey truke

but like the thing is, at least Korean players are heavily imported, so u get to see them in NA and EMEA

japan isnt big enough to be exported for me to catch on

i barely pay attention to NA owcs anyways

[unreal sonnet]

why tho

[crimson idol]

they were the best of the best

nowadays emea has shown good players to contend

[unreal sonnet]

why

[crimson idol]

but u would rather a Korean import than a subpar inhouse

wdym why 😭

just look at OWL playerbase

like look at this

korea also is just so much more invested into esports as a whole

which is why we see T1 being able to top LoL (and i think starcraft as well)

having PC cafes as your hangout spot helps a ton

[robust patio]

yes

[unreal sonnet]

i only see bronze-plat players in pc cafes

[crimson idol]

i was gonna type PC bang but its weird to englisize it

[unreal sonnet]

fr

[crimson idol]

even then, its more normalized compared to western

like you couldnt fathom being a pro gamer until v recently

[unreal sonnet]

is na ranked shit?

[crimson idol]

ez pz

[unreal sonnet]

i saw clip where tanks were playing mauga and ball in fucking circuit royale

in diamond or smt

[crimson idol]

we have so many shitters in NA

casually NA is the bottom between EMEA and Asia

[unreal sonnet]

sigma lwk boring as shit tho

[crimson idol]

but u also have to factor in console is a much more popular platform

[unreal sonnet]

so i play doom too

[crimson idol]

bc its more accessible

not everyone owns a PC

[unreal sonnet]

yea

[crimson idol]

further amplifying the casualness

[unreal sonnet]

PC is much more popular

in asia

[crimson idol]

and we dont have a way to "rent" a pc like pc cafes

[unreal sonnet]

compared with na eu

[crimson idol]

there are def places opening to emulate that, but its not the norm

So boring besides stalker being let go from falcons

[glass pebble]

I watched 3 hours of esports the other day and never got any lootboxes 😔

[uncut skiff]

can anyone play ranked, gold +

im sick of crap teamamates

[teal hare]

Owcs is the new competitive format owl will not come back it was a geniune failure

[teal hare]

You are in the wrong chat there should bea looking for group chat
I don’t have access to it since I’ve never wanted it

[viscid hatch]

Real talk; did overwatch league fail becsuse the product was inherently bad??? Or did external factors like covid and game balance affect it too negatively?

[mortal cipher]

yeah because most of korea didnt change besides like one or two roles just for the Bootcamp

[teal hare]

The way it was handled was horrible
Internal factors where really badly setup
Trying to run a sports league type thing in an esport just doesn’t work and was so much of a money sink it didn’t once make more then it cost

There’s a reason every team wanted out the moment they had the chance

[viscid hatch]

I see your points, and I agree with them, I’m wondering though, is the PRODUCT a bad thing; I think the concept of franchising can work for esports and the idea of all the teams being in the same city is really cool

I would like to see that more

More regular lan events as opposed to just major tournaments

[teal hare]

The idea is cool
Actually executing it doesn’t work

[cosmic socket]

i thought the product was good but blizzard just managed it terribly

they could've easily managed a slightly scaled down owl but instead we need every team in a mansion with bench players getting triple digit salaries

[viscid hatch]

There’s a difference between a blanket ‘it doesn’t work’ and ‘it didn’t work because it was managed bad’

[teal hare]

The amount of cost it would take period to run a franchised esport

Unless you have infinite money or are already making infinite money it just doesn’t work

In a space of the world where very small amounts of it are profitable ever

[crimson idol]

esports is just a money dump

bc u need the general public eyes to help promote and bring money and sponsors

[teal hare]

Or your game needs to make so much money funding esports is more of a fun thing to do to keep hype for said game

Like league val or cs

[crimson idol]

^

[teal hare]

Where those three games just make SO much money they can afford to dump money into esports just cause

Same with mr

Ow would essentially need to start makinf as much as league of legends or csgo
Consistently
To even attempt to try to do a franchise thing

There’s a reason almos nobody does franchises in esports
They just fundamentally cost a shit ton more for a less profitable space then physical sports

and to be honest, I didn't think it was good enough to wipe out O2Blast, who they've eliminated from the regular season

Develop nearly had a shot through Uwinks

ENTER FORCE.36 vs Nyam Gaming was pretty fire

but is it enough to dethrone VARREL is all that anyone cares about going into Japan

tracer is diff

[pure bramble]

gonna start talking about Twisted Minds like JJK sorcerers talk about Gojo

[glass sleet]

You mean like glazing? Lol

[teal hare]

You mean like how we used to talk about flc and cr

[pure bramble]

“Korea has historically dominated OWCS. With the exception of Twisted Minds of course.”

[glass sleet]

Lol

Yeah twisted never lost to them have they? To Koreans I mean

[teal hare]

Not last stage

[pure bramble]

not this version of Twisted I think

[glass sleet]

And they played then a lot too

[teal hare]

Last two lans specifically they haven’t

ALL of the old ones definitely

[glass sleet]

Pre season world finals and EWC ?

[pure bramble]

i mean tbf 2024 Stockholm, Toronto kinda cooked them

[glass sleet]

True, but they were still putting up a fight even with otping pharah and having MCD lol

[teal hare]

Yea the world finals and ewc they didn’t lose once to Koreans
2024 and the other lans they lost

[glass sleet]

Cooked? The games were close. And the runasapi map was crazy!

[pure bramble]

Chokeronto strikes again

[teal hare]

I mean the top two teams from both emea and na were always putting up fights never winning back then

[glass sleet]

First team to take a map off falcons right?

[teal hare]

It was kinda the thing “we’re almost there guys”

[pure bramble]

fucking Lenny dashing into a ceiling 😭

[teal hare]

That wasn’t Korean I think so yea

Korean teams hsve regularly beaten falcons

[glass sleet]

Yeah

[pure bramble]

if NRG and Toronto stuck together…

i can’t help but feel like NA would be stronger

[teal hare]

First team to beat a Korean one in lan I think was ntmr which is split up between ssg and TL rn

[glass sleet]

But CR are getting stalker and they’ll go back to winning everything

[pure bramble]

than they are now I mean

[teal hare]

Nas strongest team preformance so far was with NTMR a team of the rejects TD didn’t want at the time

[glass sleet]

Oh yeah. They beat Fnatic

[pure bramble]

stage 4 NRG was stacked

[teal hare]

No ntmr beat CR at lan

[glass sleet]

Ntmr beat Fnatic first…

[teal hare]

4/1

[teal hare]

Fnatic wasn’t one of the big 2 tesms so I don’t think that was a huge milestone like at all

[pure bramble]

Toronto beat Zeta

[teal hare]

Cr had literally never lost to anyone who wasn’t specifically falcons or the one time zeta won

[glass sleet]

True but it was still a Korean team. It was donghak, checkmate, izayaki, lJG. I forgot who the hs was

[teal hare]

Wasn’t that the only lan zeta made it to

[glass sleet]

Lol yeah

[pure bramble]

that beat is gonna be Viol2t’s legacy 😭

[teal hare]

Donghak has a
Rough history match wise
And that’s not exactly a “man this is a huge moment” backline either I’ll be honest

[glass sleet]

That backline was washed

[teal hare]

There’s a reason only checkmate and donghak are still on real tesms

[teal hare]

Viol2ts legacy period is the worlds greatest thrower

[glass sleet]

It’s impressive how checkmate been in emea mostly since owl ended and still ends on on falcons after 3 years of emea

[teal hare]

lol yea
And falcons might lose proper (or did lose proper) for checkmate

[pure bramble]

my dream NA dps lineup is like Tr33 Sugarfree and like maybe Scissors

[glass sleet]

You guys remember checkmate was on ROC esports

[teal hare]

The dude who keeps carrying flc through wins being lost
The second time theyll lose a top 3 dps

[glass sleet]

I feel like they brought him for sym but now he’s their only flex dps lol

[teal hare]

In a row

[glass sleet]

That guys still plays?

[pure bramble]

nah but I really like him

[teal hare]

I mean
Yea
Especially losing fuckin proper in general immediately after losing mf stalk3r is painful for a team
Flc might not be a threat anymore

[pure bramble]

how do you lose Proper Stalk3r for Merit Checkmate

if Flc didn’t own that roster I’d love it

[glass sleet]

Merit definitely sat in the corner and said “imma let them fight it out…”

[pure bramble]

Merit looks like he’s just there for a good time

[glass sleet]

Merit only on the team cuz of someone imo

[glass sleet]

He’s there cuz of someone lol

[pure bramble]

every time I see that guy he’s just got this big ass smile

I love it

[glass sleet]

I’d be smiling too if I was being carried all the time

I wanna eat my words so badly. I’ve been hating on merit since Toronto defiant days. I NEED him to lock in.

[teal hare]

Merit just be vibing but fumbling mf stalk3r AND proper

[pure bramble]

it’s not even his fault tho 😭

[glass sleet]

I feel like one should’ve stayed if the other is leaving

[teal hare]

I’m not saying it is

[pure bramble]

blame the org and management

[teal hare]

I’m just saying wow falcons suck even more as an org then normal

[pure bramble]

that refuses to invest in new talent

[glass sleet]

Imo stalker should’ve stayed if proper was leaving. Stalker can play sym

[teal hare]

Stalk3r wanted freedom

[pure bramble]

falcons such a greedy org

[glass sleet]

Cuz proper was there but he’s gone now

No?

[pure bramble]

yk who deserves a lotta credit

Hanbin

[glass sleet]

Hanbin is the goat

[pure bramble]

remember at the beginning of last year

[teal hare]

Stalk3r was benched for fuckin ages That’s why he wanted out

[pure bramble]

everyone was like “oh what’s he gonna do without Smurf?”

[teal hare]

Hanbin is a amazing tank
Him and proper carry half flc games

[pure bramble]

people were saying Hanbin and Smurf were ass

[glass sleet]

Cuz of proper. The rumors I heard was that proper was complaining the whole time so stalker stepped down

[pure bramble]

and Hanbin was just carried by the dps line

[glass sleet]

Learn monkey

[pure bramble]

literally 😭

people doubted him quite a bit

[glass sleet]

Falcons CHOSE gib against CR

Falcons have been better on gib lately

[glass sleet]

Not me. I’ve always been a believer

[pure bramble]

Falcons are still good

just not the best anymore

[glass sleet]

I always say him over someone tbh

Yeah

[pure bramble]

i think they’re just better at the off tank style than they are dive

especially with Checkmate in the mix

[glass sleet]

They lost 3-2 with no proper stalker so they’re still hanging around

[glass sleet]

Hanbin has won more games on winton than someone…

I’ll always say that stat

[pure bramble]

Someone’s had it rough

hasn’t adapted well to new heroes

he’s flexible but in a way that doesn’t benefit Falcons

[glass sleet]

Isn’t that just saying his hero pool doesn’t fit FLC? Aka he’s not that flexible

I’ve been hanbin play more heroes and be more flexible ngl

[pure bramble]

I mean he’s a main tank that flexes onto off tanks but like

why would you play Someone on Dva

Hanbin right there 😭

same with Ram

or Zar

[glass sleet]

Or monkey…

[pure bramble]

like they CAN do it it’s just why would they

[pure bramble]

Hanbinston is not all that

[glass sleet]

He wins games and still looks better than someone

I’m not hating it’s just genuinely that

[pure bramble]

not even

i love Hanbin

[glass sleet]

He beat cr and t1 multiple maps on monkey

Hanbin became their monkey player btw…

[pure bramble]

gg’s I guess 😭

[glass sleet]

Lol

I hope they all so well this year

[pure bramble]

I wish T1 would’ve just got Maka

[glass sleet]

I heard they offered him more than AGG

[pure bramble]

idk I don’t even like T1

[glass sleet]

He said nah

[pure bramble]

T1 is like Korea equivalent of TL

they just always get your hopes up

[glass sleet]

Oof…

[pure bramble]

and then they disappoint

[glass sleet]

Imo their roster is worse now

[pure bramble]

close series or big map win and you think “wow they’re actually doing it,”

nope. reverse swept by TM

[glass sleet]

Lol

[pure bramble]

BOTH OF THEM

[glass sleet]

TRUE LOL

I forgot about TL

They lost to tvnt ball

i feel like his talents are just being wasted on falcons

like he was first good solo tank imo cuz he could play everything

why pick up a super flexible tank just to split his playtime

[zealous obsidian]

Can I still get the esport lootboxes if I watch it today or sm?

[robust patio]

no

[stray jackal]

He sucked on falcons though

Any thoughts on Team BOMBAs usage of AI?

[teal hare]

It looks and is dogshit

[glass sleet]

Yikes….

[grave python]

Fucking trash

Also I ordered SSG 2026 jersey just then

It looks pretty cool and SSG is the only NA team that makes me want to support them

[sacred gulch]

they really killed all 5 of these players aspirations over AI art

[mortal cipher]

honestly ive seen better Ai usage and this is just bad looking

[cosmic socket]

new hatewatch

[teal hare]

Flc and roc are no longer the most hatewatchable ow orgs

Cause mf this shit is the worst thing I’ve seen

[wise orbit]

Yeah they initally got a lot of hate for their ai generated logo so I think they just tripled down by making really ugly AI stuff on purpose to make everyone mad

[mortal cipher]

I think if actually looked good people wouldn’t be as mad

[wise orbit]

maybe

ai art is pretty frowned upon especially in this community

[teal hare]

I think like the thing is if it looked fine it might be like
Ok
It would still be ass and I’d still hate em but Korean teams do it regularly csuse it’s not very frowned on in Korea

That being said this shit is actually so fucking ass looking it isn’t even a little funny

[pallid spoke]

Alvicates shitposts perma so it’s prob intentional

[teal hare]

Honestly I’d rather a literal ms paint lineup of faces it would have been funnier and less genuine ass to look at

[mortal cipher]

itr rlly depends

[mortal cipher]

thats what im saying if it at least looked good or decent enough it wouldnt be as hated maybe eye roll
i think koreans made better ones

[wise orbit]

Their roster announcement post with the ai generated logo looked pretty decent but like half the comments were still js hating on them for ai slop

[mortal cipher]

Ye

[cosmic socket]

it's just ragebait atp

[tepid ibex]

this is so fucking ugly

[tepid ibex]

good, generative AI should have no place in art

[tranquil wolf]

LOOOL

[unreal sonnet]

i hope its some fan made??

Honestly can they not do some basic filters like these guys?

alvicate (@alvicates)

Seeing a lot of hate regarding the unorthodox approach to Graphic Design on TEAM BOMBA…

I can assure all of you that our graphics design team are working tirelessly to churn these out and to call their life’s work “effortless” and “slop” is nothing more than ignorant and rude.

X · Feb 23, 2026, 7:30 PM

[teal hare]

Then I shall be ignorant with shockwave on dps

As much as I know he’s shitposting this is emphasis on the SHIT part

[mortal cipher]

lol

[simple quail]

"Unorthodox approach to GRAPHIC DESIGN" WHAT?!!! AI is the exact opposite of Graphic Design wtf hahahaha

[winter bluff]

[sullen berry]

anyone who actually knows isn't going to leak it. Just going for educated guesses at this point. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[winter bluff]

yes but we will know what's the city eventually right?
