Thanks for making these writeups! They were super helpful when I was too lazy to actually watch matches.

Thanks for the nice words! Happy to see people enjoyin them as it can definitely seem as they don't when I look at the reddit votes sometimes 😄 It's been really nice writing exercise though. Takes time away from doing creative stuff but helps fixing mistakes and I took on it as a must do thing, once I started. This way can't get away with "I'm not in a creative mood, will just go read/play/watch smth." ^^

Dunno, it looked like it when I scrolled through the chat

well i said one thing about it

#

i wouldnt really count that as "so much"

#

but yeah

#

it didnt really matter what they ran at that point because they were going to lose anyway

toxic yacht Dec 4, 2016, 11:13 AM

#

Yeah. I still wish that Rogue hadn't picked NV. I mean, I get the idea behind the decision, but then Blizzard's horrendous update timing fucked them over. It could have made for a much more intense final, tbh

balmy wolf Dec 4, 2016, 11:14 AM

I wish the meta didn't change like that mid tourney

that was fucked

Uhhh @toxic yacht That's seriously fucked. That makes no sense

toxic yacht Dec 5, 2016, 4:12 PM

I have no idea. Maybe it was the same friction in the team that caused kryw to leave, I have no godamned idea

#

this decision makes no bloody sense otherwise

worn cargo Dec 5, 2016, 4:13 PM

#

No, because if you looked at their play, they seemed to have the capability of completely telling the current meta to go fuck itself

Well, rip rogue

TviQ and aKm were my favourite dps duo, sad to see them get ripped apart

#

There also seems to be some overlap Soon and aKm both hitscan, TviQ amd Nevix also overlap. TviQ plays fucking everything but imo he plays their shared heroes better.

Imagine the current Rogue (minus Skipjack of course because German) had gone to the world cup... A man can dream

now its worse than i thought

Probably to keep TviQ on projectile

Fuck, I'll miss the old rogue ;_;7

gleaming ermine Dec 6, 2016, 12:35 AM

#

holy shit, yeah these are huge changes

#

how did rogue agree to this? they were arguably the best EU team, now they're not as strong i'd say

balmy wolf Dec 6, 2016, 12:53 AM

#

Well

#

In my opinion at least, Reinforce is the better rein so

#

thats a loss there

#

but SoOn is really good on quite a few heroes

#

like

#

really good

#

whereas TviQ is really good on a lot of heroes

#

i dont know where im going here

#

but basically it isnt that big a deal

tl;dr Misfits = Best team EU

They were the best EU team previous to this aswell really

how will this affect other teams, i wonder. if these 3 teams start dominating, will we see others do the same?

i'm excited to see these new teams in action

balmy wolf Dec 6, 2016, 1:30 AM

toxic yacht Dec 6, 2016, 2:44 PM

The thing is, I've heard that iddqd is super hard to work with, minstrel also described him as a "ticking time bomb". I mean, Taimou also seems obnoxious and tough to work with, but I mean, the entire roster has been playing with him for a long time and could deal with his antics and immaturity (Except Talespin, apparently)

is nrg bad

jovial eagle Dec 7, 2016, 1:10 AM

#

uh

#

they're disliked for some reason mostly because of seagull's popularity apparently

#

how he's not the best genji around but hailed as one of the best

#

plus he doesn't even genji as much now

#

i dunno

viscid thistle Dec 7, 2016, 4:17 AM

#

NRG is ranked 18th in the world

#

they where 11th but they just seem to always decrease

jovial eagle Dec 7, 2016, 4:17 AM

#

they just had 2 new players too

#

maybe give them some time

viscid thistle Dec 7, 2016, 4:17 AM

#

also Arhan only playing genji is bad because this meta is so tank heavy

#

i personally like NRG a lot but their players just seem average besides seagull

#

and even this meta doesn't favorite seagull

jovial eagle Dec 7, 2016, 4:33 AM

#

no it doesn't

#

and yes seagull seems like that only guy that's pretty good

#

arhan can't play anything else other than genji?

#

i mean the ana boost and sword wumbo combo is fearsome

Wtf? When will Blizzard realize that we hate 2 Cancer Point and that it's horribly designed and not competitively viable? There is a reason why those maps are always banned, but Blizzard seems to think that shoving em down our throat will make us like them

Oh wait, Hanamura is "only" there 3 times

balmy wolf Dec 8, 2016, 1:59 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

toxic yacht Dec 8, 2016, 2:06 PM

#

It's mostly that I think they are too random. Ther either require you to snowball or have a perfectly executed clean wipe on the defense after they setup. It's also extremely unfun to watch because of all of the junkrushes you need to go through, and if you don't do a 100% perfect attack/the defense makes a big mistake (defense making a mistake becomes less likely the higher your level of play is), it turns into stupid dva/mei/tracer nonsense, which is also extremely unfun to watch

#

They also often result in a draw, which makes it feel like a waste of time

#

That said, two of my favourite pro games happened on 2CP

#

Rogue vs Reunited on Hanamura and EnvyUs vs Rogue on Anubis

#

Both involve Rogue, so it probably relates to them

#

Oh, lul, Veineless posted the thread

balmy wolf Dec 10, 2016, 1:37 PM

#

i like that blizzard want to maximize the variety in maps played, but the solution is to make more good maps rather than force people to play the bad ones

#

like there's nothing i hate more about a game like CS:GO than the fact that every match is dust 2 forever

#

They should just keep it as a pick and ban system

#

fucking blizzard

#

but if you look at a game like SC2, it took blizzard a couple years before they had a really good map pool

#

the first few maps for SC2:WoL were just horrible

#

No one wants to watch or play your shitty gamemodes

#

really really bad

#

but then as the game evolved a bit the maps improved significantly

#

which is hopefully what we'll see happen with overwatch

#

All the maps are fine besides 2cp in my opinion

what the maps really need are more routes imo

they're far too linear

More like deathmatch than an objective gamemode

Where can I find out more about league/tournament for overwatch?

#

Like I always find out thru twitch when the tourney is at semi final/finals with 10k+ viewers

severe girder Dec 12, 2016, 4:57 AM

yo

#

how come yall dont just come to the competitive overwatch discord?

#

tons talking about this tourney

forest raven Dec 12, 2016, 4:58 AM

#

Your logic seems a bit flawed, Solaire

#

There's no one talking about the tourney here

#

So who exactly is that directed to

stark thicket Dec 12, 2016, 5:00 AM

#

all these different overwatch channel too confusing..

#

sry haha

toxic yacht Dec 12, 2016, 8:06 AM

#

@forest raven good to know that all of us hate this meta

#

TwoEasy is very open about his hatred of Ana and the current meta too

#

Lol, Mendo's twitter is full of tank hate. I should go there more often. tbh Season 1 meta was best meta

great game blizz

toxic yacht Dec 12, 2016, 12:57 PM

#

amazing gamemode there

#

this is what they want to force people to play at MLG

balmy wolf Dec 12, 2016, 12:57 PM

#

tfw they lost

#

MLG would have been great if it had the pick and ban system DH used

#

but nooo

toxic yacht Dec 12, 2016, 12:58 PM

#

No, blizzard must showcase their shitty maps

#

iirc it's in their tournament rules now

#

you have to have a fixed map pool

#

gg blizz

balmy wolf Dec 12, 2016, 12:58 PM

#

👍🏻

#

kms

#

their reasoning is probably something like

#

"there are lots of people who love those maps and want to see the pros play them"

#

because blizzard follow the apple mentality, which is that you tell your customers what they want rather than listen to them

spare ravine Dec 12, 2016, 5:19 PM

#

will blizzard one day allow skins in tournaments they force to use their rules? the world may never know

#

too confusing for the average viewer is an xd worthy statement

thin elk Dec 12, 2016, 8:10 PM

#

Some of the legendaries may confuse people who don't play the game

#

But I don't see a reason not to allow lesser rarity skins

balmy wolf Dec 12, 2016, 8:22 PM

#

People who watch the tournaments will probably be people who play the game

#

Whoa what

#

I caught on game yesterday and it was C9 destroying coL

#

What happened

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 1:29 AM

#

c9 won the bracket yesterday

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 1:31 AM

#

I haven't been following the Winter Premiere

#

how does it work

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 1:31 AM

#

tbh I got no clue

#

But c9 have automatically qualified to the group stage for winning their qualifier

#

Yeah

#

Kingdom and c9 are already in

limber pine Dec 13, 2016, 1:35 AM

#

There's 4 days, and the winner of each day automatically qualifies for the next round. After those 4, the next 4 best teams qualify based on points.

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 1:36 AM

#

Aight

#

And then it's round robin between those 8

#

4 get eliminated

#

Then another round robin between the remaining 4

limber pine Dec 13, 2016, 1:37 AM

#

yah

#

top 8 got points for each day

📎 unknown.png

#

so after each winner qualifies, the top 4 remaining teams with the most amount of points also qualifies

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 1:39 AM

#

Right

#

And so far, because only 2 days have been completed, Kingdom and c9 are already in

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 1:42 AM

#

Oh right

#

Well Fnatic is obviously making it through

#

totally not biased

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 1:42 AM

#

Ye

#

kek

#

c9 4 lyfe

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 1:43 AM

#

and out of the last 2 matches today id say maybe IMT vs coL

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 1:43 AM

#

I hope coL can pull through

#

Doing good work against Liquid atm

tidal thicket Dec 13, 2016, 1:43 AM

lmao team liquid

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 1:44 AM

3:35 left on Hollywood for coL zaryalol

tidal thicket Dec 13, 2016, 1:44 AM

#

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 1:45 AM

#

I've seen a few pro games on Hollywood where both teams just absolutely roll on attack

#

And Liquid looks like they might have a dive comp

#

Told you

tidal thicket Dec 13, 2016, 1:46 AM

#

LIQUID JESUS

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 1:47 AM

#

Both teams completely roll on attack

I have to say they're a lot better than yesterday

#

Fucking Twitch chat

#

They keep calling iid iddqd

tidal thicket Dec 13, 2016, 1:52 AM

#

i have it closed, what happened?

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 1:53 AM

#

There's a player on Liquid called iid

#

His name starts with "i" so Twitch chat assumes he must be iddqd

#

At this point it's a joke

tidal thicket Dec 13, 2016, 1:53 AM

lmao

#

so much time for complexity holy shit

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 1:54 AM

tidal thicket Dec 13, 2016, 1:58 AM

#

#

its over

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 1:59 AM

#

Hollywood has always been one of coL's better maps

tidal thicket Dec 13, 2016, 1:59 AM

#

really?

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 1:59 AM

#

Ye

tidal thicket Dec 13, 2016, 1:59 AM

#

also are maps still picked or is it blizz's dumb system

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:00 AM

#

I can't say for the Winter Premiere

#

But coL picked Hollywood because there were coming from like a winner bracket or group or some shit

tidal thicket Dec 13, 2016, 2:03 AM

#

oh okay

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:14 AM

#

ID is known for playing Junk on Hybrid

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:15 AM

coL never seems to do well on the payload maps

Hybrid they do work

clear pollen Dec 13, 2016, 2:33 AM

they sound so bored

limber pine Dec 13, 2016, 2:33 AM

#

they're not terrible

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:33 AM

#

They're a lot better than yesterday

limber pine Dec 13, 2016, 2:33 AM

#

but no ZP

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:33 AM

#

Ehhh

#

They're pretty terrible

clear pollen Dec 13, 2016, 2:33 AM

#

i mean put a little energy into the casting

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:33 AM

#

I give them the benefit of the doubt

#

Put a little energy?

#

Dude the main caster's been shouting the majority of the time

clear pollen Dec 13, 2016, 2:34 AM

#

idk if that's shouting

#

ZP shouts

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:34 AM

#

Dude wut

#

IMT has three 17 year olds?

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:34 AM

#

Well, he might not be shouting but his voice gets pretty loud and he starts commentating real quick

clear pollen Dec 13, 2016, 2:34 AM

#

team of yungins

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:34 AM

#

The dude's getting hype

#

When he really wasn't yesterday

#

And the other caster is just soft spoken

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:35 AM

#

You're trying to make these guys sound good draw

#

they're terrible

clear pollen Dec 13, 2016, 2:35 AM

#

they also mix up teams a lot

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:35 AM

#

There's been so many roster changes recently

clear pollen Dec 13, 2016, 2:35 AM

#

like yesterday they called the wrong team winning

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:35 AM

#

They're not terrible

#

We've just been spoiled by ZP, DoA, Monte etc.

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:36 AM

#

Thing is though

clear pollen Dec 13, 2016, 2:36 AM

#

they also dont know how the timebank system works

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:36 AM

#

They're worse than any other casters ive seen

#

therefore

#

terrible

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:36 AM

#

Oh

#

So it's a subjective terrible

#

Well you should have clarified

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:36 AM

#

Well I believe we've seen all the same casters

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:36 AM

#

Haha

#

No

#

I've seen some true shit casting

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:37 AM

#

What tourney

#

comes to mind?

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:37 AM

#

Very small, community ones

clear pollen Dec 13, 2016, 2:37 AM

#

really the only other truly terrible casting i can think of is carbon masters

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:37 AM

#

Ah right

#

Well I've only seen casters that cast the top like 10-15 teams in the regions

#

I dont watch tiny ones

limber pine Dec 13, 2016, 2:38 AM

#

Polo who's the best caster you've heard?

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:38 AM

#

Dont care about the teams

#

ZP probably

#

Uber is a close second

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:39 AM

#

ZP's fuckin awesome

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:39 AM

#

Seriously 10/10

#

All the casters for MLG

#

Are great

#

imo

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:39 AM

#

They have basically everyone besides Hex, no?

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:40 AM

#

No hex or uber

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:40 AM

#

Aww

#

Weak

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:40 AM

#

So

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:40 AM

#

I wanted mah boi Uber

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:40 AM

#

Replace seltzer and Huk with Uber and Hex pls

#

Godlike caster roster

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:40 AM

#

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:40 AM

#

#

OH

#

NO

#

ITS RACHEL

#

SHES CASTING

#

NOOOOOOO

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:41 AM

#

Also isn't Huk the guy who railed on ZP

#

Who is Rachel

clear pollen Dec 13, 2016, 2:41 AM

#

Huk is just ugh

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:41 AM

#

its over

#

its all over

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:41 AM

#

Who is Rachel

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:41 AM

#

She's the blonde host

#

Hosted the WC

#

OW Open

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:41 AM

#

She's a host

#

Who cares

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:41 AM

#

She isnt

#

Puckett is the host

#

She's a caster

#

mlg pls

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:42 AM

#

Has she casted before?

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:42 AM

#

idk

#

but i hate her when she is talking to the analysts

#

so it wont go well

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:42 AM

#

Why do you hate her

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:43 AM

#

She's just annoying

#

I just didnt like hearing her talk when they were at the analyst desk

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:44 AM

#

Is soe better than her?

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:44 AM

#

I dont really like soe either

#

maybe im just sexist

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:44 AM

#

zaryalol

#

Whelp

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:44 AM

#

I think its because they're both overly positive

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:44 AM

#

Soe's fuckin awesome

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:45 AM

#

Oh yeah rachels terrible jokes too

#

anyway

#

its starting

clear pollen Dec 13, 2016, 2:45 AM

#

for me its really not the personalities, but how much they know about the game

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:45 AM

#

LG just got Superplouk before they picked up Hidan and Kryw

#

Theres been so many roster changes recently

clear pollen Dec 13, 2016, 2:45 AM

#

i wanna believe in this team

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:46 AM

#

Well from what I saw at Dreamhack Soe's a great host because she asks open ended questions which allows the analysts to delve into different aspects of the match

#

Which is a host's job

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:46 AM

#

I do like new LG a lot

#

But I'm rooting for IMT

#

Soe is a lot better than Rachel

#

Rachel is just going to be terrible as a caster though

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:47 AM

#

Agilities on Tracer and Grim on Zarya 🤔

#

Also is Luminosity a full EU team now?

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:48 AM

#

They were before aswell I think

#

Yeah they were

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:49 AM

#

So they were always EU based

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:49 AM

#

After mixup left

#

yeah

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:49 AM

#

I thought they were an NA team because Seagull

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:49 AM

#

Full EU

#

LG the org is based in Canada and France

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:50 AM

#

ic

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:50 AM

#

And was NA up until they booted mixup

#

and signed 2stronk

#

Agilities is doing well

#

But I still wanna see grim tracer :<

#

Kryw solo ulting verbo

#

lolwot

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:53 AM

#

Grim on 76 armGasm

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:53 AM

I thought they had it with that Graviton

#

But then he used it on 1 person

#

I hate this meta

I wanna see Grim on McCree

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:54 AM

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:54 AM

McCree was just more interesting to watch imo

#

Does COW post tourney announcements?

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:57 AM

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:57 AM

#

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:57 AM

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:57 AM

Nope

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:57 AM

#

well rip

#

was it a stomp?

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:58 AM

#

I think c9 won first

#

Then Fnatic won the next

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:58 AM

#

:c

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:58 AM

#

Then c9 won pretty decisively on the next 2

balmy wolf Dec 13, 2016, 2:58 AM

#

they've never been the same since they lost iddqd

#

It was for the best though

#

Iddqd would not do well in this meta

forest raven Dec 13, 2016, 2:58 AM
