#

I could never get into CS:GO's esports simply because of how matured the scene is

vestal mortar
#

Indeed, this is the first esport I've gotten into, it's been nice following it since the beginning!

trim trellis
#

I feel like overwatch is too fast paced for me to watch

#

A bit too much is going on and it's hard to tell what's happening

balmy wolf
#

i've felt that way as well, but i think it's the commentators

#

I can follow it just fine

#

And you're probably watching bad casters

trim trellis
#

Isn't ZP considered a good caster?

balmy wolf
#

Yeah

#

One of the best on the scene right now

toxic yacht
#

It's pretty common to have a hard time following overwatch. I don't really have any issue (except there are 39432 ults going off again) but it's a pretty common complaint about Overwatch as an eSport

#

Where exactly can I watch today's matches of the world cup?

balmy wolf
cunning gate
#

Thank you!

safe depot
#

I don't really get why OW is considered so hectic and all, with the first person sight, it's pretty clear to me, personally

#

Like, I tried watching an LOL event once, and it was just massive explosions and lights flickering to me

marsh briar
#

oh, it seems Spain vs Canada is the first match

#

it's on now~

spare ravine
#

surefour trolled all of canada by picking huk and poke

#

unlucky for canadians

#

then again surefour is the single reason canada matters at all

balmy wolf
#

Wtf

#

The World Cup is live? whaaaat

#

I thought it wasn't due until Blizzcon

#

The fuck

pure wing
#

I understand how you feel, mate

balmy wolf
#

Poke wasnt a captain pick was he?

#

the matches start now

#

today tomorrow and monday

#

the semis and finals are on at blizzcon

#

Team leaders didn't actually pick the last two members

#

Blizz did

#

They just consulted with the captains

#

And poke wasn't a Captain's pick anyway

#

He got in by popular vote

spare ravine
#

rip

#

so blizz trolled surefour and canada

balmy wolf
#

It's so strange to see Huk on the team table as opposed to the commenting table

#

Pretty much lol

#

He was on liquid

#

Surefour on Zarya again

#

What is going on lol

spare ravine
#

im tilted as well

balmy wolf
#

4 fucking tanks?

#

Wth

#

What is this autism?

#

4-2 wooo

arctic sorrel
#

4 tanks 2 healers

#

interesting team comp

balmy wolf
#

Oh you're not MVP anymore ash?

#

I think this is the impostor

arctic sorrel
#

i left the serrver

balmy wolf
#

no it isnt

#

lol

#

ah right

#

Oh

#

4-2 isnt a rare sight

#

Especially back when 3-3 was popular

fair raven
#

4 tanks 2 healers? worst comp

balmy wolf
#

It's the first time I've seen it

arctic sorrel
#

It's like the 3-3 comp, but just another tank

balmy wolf
#

Yeah ikr?

serene idol
#

I'v enever seen 4-2 either

balmy wolf
#

lol

fair raven
#

i'd still go with 2-2-2

balmy wolf
#

well idk maybe you dont watch enough tournies

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

arctic sorrel
#

as long as there's two healers, I'm fine with it

full jackal
#

poor canada

arctic sorrel
#

man, that 4-2 comp didn't work out too well for them

I can watch these matches on twitch?

balmy wolf
#

Yep

ornate flume
#

Why is everybody saying rigged in twitch chat prlGasm

balmy wolf
#

Because Finland was winning before the Restart

#

Then they restarted because of Taiwan

full pebble
#

cuz they always turn in the overtime and they restarted

balmy wolf
#

and they won

ornate flume
#

Ah.

#

Yeah I got in late

belak we are in blizzcon-discuss

LUL isnt a twitch emote

It removes default twitch emotes and some other popular BTTV ones

jovial eagle

watching the replay of USA vs Chile

#

so good to see seagull on genji again

sharp surge

hey went to sleep after group A, what did i miss

arctic sorrel
#

@sharp surge there are vods on twitch if you want to still watch the games for yourself

sharp surge
#

wait really ?

#

okay thanks

balmy wolf
#

did anyone see the australia vs south korea match?\

jovial eagle
#

I didn't, I'm not into rape

balmy wolf
#

@jovial eagle about the first match

#

why didnt australia switch to reaper?

#

to counter the world class winston?

#

is that intentional or just dumb mistake?

mighty nebula
#

@jovial eagle im into reverse rape

jovial eagle
#

lul

#

sometimes i wonder how can the gap be this significant

balmy wolf
#

Holy fuck korea

toxic yacht
#

this was not even funny

#

I thought that runaway vs reunited was rape

#

but this is on another level

balmy wolf
#

I saw a post on the sub about a guy that was surprised

#

kek

#

No one should have been surprised at that match

#

not even ANZ

toxic yacht
#

I mean, cmon, koreans voted in a bunch of pros, the have half of lunatic hai for gods (hehehe) sake. They made sure to select the best of the best for the world cup and researched them all individually. I don't understand why you'd be so surprised by the results

balmy wolf
#

APAC takes eSports seriously

#

Just look at China

#

China compared to France

#

China is a full professional premade

#

France doesn't even have aKm

toxic yacht
#

2/3 of rogue are french

vestal cave
#

yea, and don't even try comparing them to S.America teams, lol

toxic yacht
#

it would be a much stronger team if they'd actually have voted those in

balmy wolf
#

Team France should have been, aKm, Knoxx, Winz, Kryw, Unkoe and Soon.

#

That would have been a fucking team dude

#

4/6 of Rogue then 2 from Misfits

vestal cave
#

that alphacast guy is a french streamer, right?

balmy wolf
#

Probably

#

He got the majority vote

toxic yacht
#

it't also have been a pretty well balanced team with 2 dps (one projectile and one hitscan guy), two amazing supports and 2 tanks, although two of those tanks would be zaryas

vestal cave
balmy wolf
#

maybe replace Knoxxx with Hidan

#

Its down @vestal cave

vestal cave
#

crap, ty for info

balmy wolf
#

You have aKm and SoOn as DPS. Kryw and Wins on Tank, can flex to other roles. Then uNKOE and Hidan on Support.

#

Or uNKOE and Knoxx

#

Either way

#

That would be a fucking great team

toxic yacht
#

unkoq and hidan could be a bit redundant since both are ana/zen or whatever, I mean, the can both play lucio, but I think that knoxx + unkoe/hidan would be better

balmy wolf
#

Yeah I knew unkoe played Zen, didnt know he played much ana though

#

Thought Knoxx was on that

toxic yacht
#

unkoe is a ridiculously good ana, actually

balmy wolf
#

Thats because Canada has Sure4

#

thats it

supple nymph
#

he will carry to victory

#

you'll see

balmy wolf
#

He'll carry like Soullive did for Brazil

#

Not at all

#

kek

balmy wolf
#

Actually didn't see brazil

#

Did they do as bad as I assume they were going to

#

Probably

tawdry fractal
#

I feel like overwatch tournaments rely on who can get Q first

balmy wolf
#

Hey guys, how's USA doing?

plucky walrus
#

the stream starts around 3 EST right?

#

@balmy wolf they did pretty good

balmy wolf
#

They destroyed Chile

#

As expected

toxic yacht
#

chila was destroyed

#

second worst rape seen today

#

seagull pulled out an atttack bastion just to add insult to the injury

#

he also played genji as a first choice, which just goes to show how little they expected from Chile

balmy wolf
#

SK vs ANZ was the biggest stomp

#

Followed by USA vs Chile

toxic yacht
#

yup

supple nymph
#

CANADA YEAAAA

balmy wolf
#

They'll lose kek

#

holy shit

#

Hi

harsh gale
#

Korea tho

#

Goddamn

eternal leaf
#

they played Finland right?

#

seagull should main zarya..

spare eagle
#

so who advances from group D? Three 2-1 teams that all beat each other...

jovial eagle
#

seagull with his awareness would be insane on support

#

most likely ana

royal mica
#

@spare eagle they played 3-way tiebreaker. france & china advanced

wooden gust
#

Who do I watch now that the US has been kicked out? 😦

balmy wolf
#

They havent been kicked out

toxic yacht
#

they will get kicked out by south korea on thursday

#

give it some time

wooden gust
#

Wait so they have one more chance?

toxic yacht
#

yup, the game vs russia was the battle for the seed

#

they already got 2 wins, it was a round robin format

wooden gust
#

Oh

#

Yay

#

Les goooo

toxic yacht
#

they will lose though

#

which is sad

#

no one stands a chance against south korea

#

this tournament is more about who is the best between sk and sweden at the current rate

wooden gust
#

Na gotta have faith. Seagull, Gods, and Ster man, Teamwork makes the dream work

toxic yacht
#

You saw how much trouble they had against russia, they were pretty even, tbh

#

korea has insanely good teamwork and some of the best korean players

wooden gust
#

I feel bad tho cause Seagull got shut down in the Overwatch Open

#

And the whole thing was won by europeans

toxic yacht
#

it was obvious that europeans would win the whole thing tbh

#

they have proven themselves to be better than na multiple times now

#

i mean, nrg isn't even a top tier team in the usa

wooden gust
#

America wrecks shop in the Olympics but gets destroyed in Esports

#

We're too focused on real sports

toxic yacht
#

i noticed that eu > na when it comes to fps games

#

not sure about the rest though

#

All we know is that korea dominates in any game that gets popular over there

probably needs a lot of aggression to throw korea off

for just an opening

The problem with Koreo is that the whole team is made up of 2 teams. So chemistry is high.

100%

#

Sweden so much talent but no team play

#

how they lose to Spain BLOWS my mind, team UK (my team) was beating Spain in scrims...

#

that's a feat considering the team we had

#

Russia vs Korea final I think

#

and that should be a really good match

Finland might win the left side of the bracket

inb4 finland drops out, australia take their place and moosetits and the crew carry AUS to #1

balmy wolf
#

@twilit python I heard HarryHook is a great shot caller which probably helped Spain a lot

#

Teamplay > Individual skill sadly

#

I really loved Team Sweden

#

SK has the best team play and individual skills. Crazy.

#

I'd love to see a matchup between the SK national team and Rogue

#

Well Rogue just barely beat Lunatic Hai in APAC

#

LH didn't seem very adaptable but this SK team is very flexible, so they may have a better shot at beating Rogue

#

Well SK is made up of half of Lunatic hai

#

Also I was saying that Rogue just barely beat LH so SK would definitely beat them

#

I know. I'm saying SK looks better than Lunatic Hai but maybe that's just due to lack of competition

#

Thats what I just said

hollow pewter
#

Is Australia still in

balmy wolf
#

Apparently so

#

They beat Thailand somehow

#

Got it & I agree SK would be favored to win

#

But Rogue does very well under pressure which is why it would be a sick matchup

#

Too bad team Sweden is nowhere close to Rogue

#

Better individually

#

Way worse in teamplay

#

way way worse

#

Hopefully the loss to Spain was the wake up call they needed

#

why not many people pick zenyatta?

toxic yacht
#

ana

#

why pick zenyatte when you have someone as broken as ana

balmy wolf
#

but when your team is struggle to surivive their ult combo and lucio ult is uesless

toxic yacht
#

remember back when everyone said that ana was shit and that you shouldn't pick her? Remember when people said that nrg was retarded for running ana? Those were the days, lul

#

lucio ult saves them pretty well, especially from pulse bombs

#

zeny ult cant save your from instant 500 damage, sound barrier can

balmy wolf
#

what things can do instant 500 damage?

toxic yacht
#

then there is also the fact that nanoboost + fastest healing rate in the game > trans

balmy wolf
#

but when you always got cc by mei/zayra/reinhardt

#

when entrace

toxic yacht
#

pulse bombs, nano rapists can cut through transe, and bionade nullifies the existance of trans

#

you get trans, ana throws her nade in and denies heals for everyone

balmy wolf
#

and mercy?

toxic yacht
#

mercy, lol. Eh, she makes the teamfight a 5v6, requires protection, needs to fly to a teammate to heal him, and is worthless if you don't get off your rez

#

she also cannot defend herself well

balmy wolf
#

yea, so just lose all game to SK by not switching

#

when you know your execution is definitely not as good as them why stick to it

Uhh sry, a little lost

#

@jovial eagle sombra will not replace tracer

gentle shuttle
#

@gusty isle why

#

Tracer seems like the most logical slot to replace

gusty isle
#

Pulse bomb is still very strong in combos and tracer is still going to be more mobile.

#

Sombra will be used just not as a tracer replacement

I could see Sombra replacing Tracer on payload maps maybe

@manic fox They use their own peripherals

Nope

fuck korea

#

this was the most boring matchup in all overwatch cup

#

russia just got roflstomped

#

this was exactly like a quickplay game

tender merlin
#

wow that was pretty one sided

umbral sparrow
#

yeah

#

league is the same

#

south korea is really the only country that supports this stuff

silent burrow
#

RIP

umbral sparrow

like us and shit

#

people don't really consider it a career

#

but south korea shows this shit on tv

uhh

who got bronze

#

im not suprised korea won

#

#

#

can korea just be banned from all esports?

balmy wolf
#

@CharizardBut#1868#1580 exactly

#

there is no fun when we all know the result even without watching

crimson edge
#

I would be fully down with not letting SK compete next year

#

Like.. "You're the best we know you're the best, we'll just assume you're the winner and you can have the trophy. Now fuck off until the award ceremony so we can have a tourney for second place and watch some good matches"

umbral sparrow
#

russia was just annoying to watch

#

in all honesty what I think would've been an amazing match to watch that never happened would be france vs USA

#

home team vs underdogs

frosty sigil
#

quick question, who won?

twilit python
#

Korea

#

well deserved they played amazing

#

and really nice guys

safe whale
#

They stomped in the final

frosty sigil
#

did they dominate, or was it close?

umbral sparrow
#

russia didn't even take one point

safe whale
#

dominate no, they stomped

umbral sparrow
#

imagine an 80 year old veteran vs the hulk

safe whale
#

I found it little bit humilliating

umbral sparrow
#

that's how it was

frosty sigil
#

oh wow

twilit python
#

Miro best Winston in the world

crimson edge
#

Not esports, the world cup. The World Cup is basically a set of exhibition matches with famous people. South Korea were the best team by a nautical mile. Every SK match was also so boring I stopped caring by the Quarter Finals

safe whale
#

But Korea was a team formed by members from the same professional team, no?

umbral sparrow
#

yeah

#

it was proper professional team vs guys who are voted in

safe whale
#

Little bit unfair

crimson edge
#

So they are more than welcome to wipe the floor next year and the year after that, as long as they make the tourney less boring

#

Hence "Here have the cup, you're the best. Now fuck off so we can have fun over here"

frosty sigil
#

how can someone even be the best winston

#

cant compregend

twilit python
#

He's amazing

umbral sparrow
#

next year they need to make a rule

#

only two people from each team can be chosen

safe whale
#

He played amazing, but russia was so focussed on its compo that was little bit WTF

umbral sparrow
#

their ana was good

safe whale
#

Yep the ana was amazing

umbral sparrow
#

but I find it annoying that they kept going on and on and on about her

#

in honesty south korea is the best team

#

but fucking boring

#

and I'd rather not have this follow the same path as league of legends

frosty sigil
#

is there any time where korea doesnt dominate esports though

umbral sparrow
#

alot of fps

frosty sigil
#

blizzard literally created a character about that

twilit python
#

Well

#

their Ana is the best Ana in the whole word

#

he's actually crazy good

umbral sparrow
#

yeah

#

that's the thing

twilit python
#

So it's nice they talk about him

#

supports don't get love normally

frosty sigil
#

who was their ana player

umbral sparrow
#

ryu

#

ana does

safe whale
#

Maybe I'm wrong but I think teams should switch more, I mean Russia switcher to reaper really late.

umbral sparrow
#

yeah

#

shadowburn likely watched the USA match and saw seagull break the defense with genji

#

but that was all because that ana got stuck in the map

safe whale
#

XD

#

I enjoyed Finland Vs Spain ( I didnt expect my country perform)

umbral sparrow
#

best match of the tournament was france vs russia

#

just sad france didn't make it

white hull
#

yeah

#

France team was half pro

umbral sparrow
#

half not

white hull
#

But still good

umbral sparrow
#

but they played beautiful

#

ly

white hull
#

Yeah, I'm proud of them !

safe whale
#

thats funny

crimson edge
#

I guess this was more than a tourney

#

This was Blizzards attempt to sell their game as an esport to the mainstream

#

and in that way they failed spectacularly

dusky sigil
#

Was it that bad? I haven't been watching any of the tournaments going on.

balmy wolf
#

The group stages sucked

#

2 close matches

#

The final eight was alright

#

It was obvious who was going to win the whole time

#

The qualifiers also sucked

umbral sparrow
#

I mean I wouldn't say it failed

#

they still got alot of viewers

#

I just would say it was memorable

barren pecan
#

It kept me fully entertained

balmy wolf
#

so OW isn't going to have a future in eSports?

wanton bronze
#

eh?

balmy wolf
#

I was reading some of the comments on how the tournament failed miserably. Do you guys think OW will grow eSports wise or will it just die

wanton bronze
#

they just announced an overleague thing to get teams together and stuff

#

the tournament was meh because the finals were a stomp

balmy wolf
#

The WC was shit because most of the matches were total stomps and everyone knew SK would win

quartz wren
#

The tournament was also meh because the teams were decided by vote

#

Instead of, you know, actual teams

#

Basically just an allstar tourney, those are usually stompy and weird

balmy wolf
#

If all the countries voted their best players

#

then it would be interesting

arctic sorrel
#

but instead, a lot of them voted for content-creators that weren't even that good lol

balmy wolf
#

Yep

#

Just look at france

#

That team could have been a powerhouse

tough summit
#

Nah

balmy wolf
#

How so?

tough summit
#

France got some pros that are third grade master players. Would never have had a chance of winning

jovial eagle
#

people telling me overwatch has low skill ceiling and is slow for esports

fresh arrow
#

"slow for esports"

#

good joke

jovial eagle
#

they like twitchy ones

#

like csgo

balmy wolf
#

CSGO is slow as fuck though lol

jovial eagle
#

their argument is that if one player is more skilled

#

the worse one will lose immediately at a click of a button

#

if esport ever want to rise to the level of sports, then that shouldn't happen

toxic yacht
#

I'd argue that overwatch and csgo have completely different aspects of skill

#

csgo is more mechanical (although tactics are really important too, arguably moreso) while overwatch has a lot more manegement, counterpicking etc (cooldowns, ults). Admittedly, money management is also a really important thing in cs, but literally everything in overwatch is a combination of abilites and mechanical skill

#

overwatch is still very new, so I won't argue about the skillceiling being high or low, but when it comes to raw mechanical skill, I'd be inclined to agree that CS and TF2 have a higher one

wary jacinth
#

i mean, overwatch is just more macro-heavy

jovial eagle
#

I guess my point is considering skill as having thought behind actions

sinful burrow
#

I mean, even on a more macro-level that still applies

#

You can have strategic skill, over mechanical skill

#

Which is something I might apply to a hero like Zen, who doesn't have anything difficult mechanically other than his primary

#

but knowing who to Orb, your positioning, and how to use ult could be strategically challenging

balmy wolf
#

lf scrim now!

sweet falcon
#

So

#

I heard that God's is leaving NRG

#

Y tho?

toxic yacht
#

Probably he decided that the roster needed a dps who can actually play tracer

#

Their tracer was their zarya

#

So Seagull needed to flex into her, which wasn't ideal

#

Maybe he also felt like they weren't synergizing all that well and decided that they'd be better of without him, I don't know, and we will probably never know

vestal mortar
#

I also think I read somewhere that he wants to move towards playing tanks since he's really been enjoying playing them lately rather than being a dps player.

toxic yacht
#

yeah, he plays a pretty mean roadhog and recently started with zarya too

toxic yacht
#

iddqd is streaming right now

#

He's queueing with shadder and kyb

balmy wolf
#

@toxic yacht Kyb's smurf lol

toxic yacht
#

he was playing on his main on ptr, but they couldn't queue because shadder is lagging and doesn't have his rank yet

#

omg, watching shadders perspective right now

#

he just killed, like, the whole team using dash resets

balmy wolf
#

I love the name

#

"KybWasTaken"

toxic yacht
#

kek

#

wow, the match was cancelled

#

they capped both points too fast

gentle shuttle
#

NRG vs Kongdoo Uncia

toxic yacht
#

ouch

#

what a stomp

gentle shuttle
#

rip

#

that rosters only had <24 hours of practise so no suprises

toxic yacht
#

Yeah, and numlocked's been on tanks up to now too, no surprise that they did so badly

#

Reminds me of how runaway destroyed reunited because of how little practice they had

pseudo sail
toxic yacht
#

emphasis on trying

pseudo sail
balmy wolf
#

It will take a little while for the new NRG to get back to where they were with Gods and Pookz

toxic yacht
#

I'm really not surprised. They just came back from blizzcon and had barely any time to practice with this new roster. Then there's also the facked that uncia could practice for the match for the past, what, 2 weeks? They already had a more familiar roster and got to practice and iron out some of their problems while nrg was split up AND already had roster changes incoming

#

Didn't expect it to be such a massive stomp though, NRG did terribly. They literally couldn't cap volskaya a with a 4-0 ult advantage

#

Clockwork somehow managed to blow every beyblade and they also had some rather questionable compositions

balmy wolf
#

tbh I think every composition with NRG is now a questionable composition

#

At least in my mind

#

because on Numlocked being on tank

toxic yacht
#

you mean numlocked on support

#

he normally mains tanks

balmy wolf
#

yeah

#

thats what i mean

toxic yacht
#

I'll give numlocked a chance. I like to think that the org and the players aren't fucking stupid enough to take a support who can't sup

balmy wolf
#

He plays Lucio right?

toxic yacht
#

yup, he plays lucio

#

so the transition shouldn't be that jarring, I hope

hi guys, I enjoy watching pro OW, but I find it hard to know the streams. I missed the finals at Blizzcon and the korean tournament last week. I am looking forward to the ingame viewer that will eventually come. Where do you guys go to find out when and where there are pro matches and tournaments?

fresh arrow
#

reddit, here and twitter are where I usually keep up to date with stuff, not sure about everyone else

visual walrus
#

ok ok, thanks. Where on reddit?

fresh arrow
#

well, this server is the /r/Overwatch server

#

their sidebar has an upcoming events section which will probably be helpful

thanks @fresh arrow, you are a true gem

is NRG still in this?

they got absolutely rekt in their last game

#

it wasn't even funny

#

they looked like a bad pub

opaque owl
#

well I mean, they just changed players

#

that certainly did not help

toxic yacht
#

I mean, they had no practice and exchanged vital players

#

but cmon, they lost a 4-1 ult advantage on volskaya a

#

they literally couldn't cap it

#

they wiffed 4 ults

I hope they recover

I hope so too, I want to see them succeed

also wow

they got new accounts for this

#

why

toxic yacht

oh yeah, they're all level 1

#

maybe its special tourney clients or something

#

where they mess with their accounts

opaque owl
#

like at blizzcon?

#

but I mean what do they do then? change the names? seems weird to me

I honestly have no idea, I don't even know why they'd do it tbh

i miss kyb

opaque owl
#

is onigod filling in for him?

#

or

toxic yacht
#

unfixed became the new dps since Kyb left

#

so onigod took over the tank role

opaque owl
#

who is kyb playing for now?

toxic yacht
#

nothing

#

He left eSports

#

basically, going to APEX kinda overwhelmed him and he decided that he wanted out it. Keep in mind that he was actually some random ass 18 year old sushi chef who was picked of from matchmaking

#

going to germany wasn't that big of a deal since he's EU, then Atlanta probably wasn't as bad since it was another western city, but all of the sudden being called to korea?

#

it was too much for him, so he decided that he wanted out

#

huh, looks like reunited got their shit together after getting their ass handed by a 15 year old high schooler

opaque owl
#

oh I see

#

he didn't look 18

didn't know he was that young

Hey people, in case you missed today's APEX games here's my detailed summary of what happend: https://medium.com/@followradon/overview-of-ogns-apex-group-stage-day-10-nrg-s-tournament-life-on-the-line-and-double-sniper-3a2a55ec09a0

In today’s first match we had the return of Flash Lux, their previous match was on the first day of the group stage and they beat RGT 3–2. Unfortunately for them today they were playing versus what many would call the best team in the world — Rogue.
For the second match-up we had the new-look NRG vs BK Stars — the best team in the group so far, both fought for their tournament life!!!

hey folks, if you didn't have time to watch OGN's Apex today you can catch up with my summary!

For the first series we had the return of the uninspiring Flash Lux facing Afreeca Blue that looked resurgent, both looking at a playoffs should they win or going home if they lose today. In the second one we had the return of fan favourites Runaway, that shocked Reunited with Haksal’s Genji against LuxuryWatch Blue, that looked improved on Friday. Runner’s crew were looking at a possible first seed into the playoffs if they were to win, while Blue needed to win 3-1 or 3-0 to secure their spot in the brackets.

Here's the link, as always any feedback is welcome! :)
