[pine star]

Omg Tork

I can't even

[toxic yacht]

tork doing god's work

OMG

tork carrying this game

[pine star]

BIG BANG

[toxic yacht]

and the casters got better than at the beginning of the match

they are evolving

[balmy wolf]

Nice shield Winghaven

[toxic yacht]

winghaven dead again

with an earthshatter

omg tork

holy shit

2-2

[pine star]

2 dps players

[toxic yacht]

inb4 "coL enabled hacks and started winning"

[balmy wolf]

I did not expect this wow

[pine star]

This makes me so happy ;-;

[toxic yacht]

yeah, the torks are on fucking fire

[pine star]

...

[toxic yacht]

and you know what I like?

[pine star]

That's such bullshit

[toxic yacht]

no one can accuse nicolas of hacking

[pine star]

Nicolas won most of the Pharah battles

What's this caster dude talking about?

[toxic yacht]

because he uses projectile

I have no idea, lol

these casters are watching a different game

[pine star]

Dem airshots make me so moist

[toxic yacht]

is this guy retarded?

LG

didn't win hollywood

smh these casters

[dusty surge]

So I had to take a complexity... what's the score now?

[pine star]

lmaoooo

[flat sparrow]

what's the score rn ?

[pine star]

Middle guy is love tho

[toxic yacht]

2-2

[pine star]

2-2

[dusty surge]

Did they play a capture map?

[toxic yacht]

2cp?

[pine star]

Anubis

[toxic yacht]

first game was anubis iirc

[pine star]

^yeah it was

[dusty surge]

I hope this broadcast format, as far as commercials, commentary and gameplay timing, is what they keep using going forward.

Real good balance between important shit and things that will keep advertisers paying.

[toxic yacht]

NO QUAD TANK TODAY

yet

everything has been 2-2-2 up to now

[limber pine]

^

[pine star]

FeelsGoodMan

[toxic yacht]

or even 3-1-2

and yeah, I like these breaks

[dusty surge]

Wow, no capture maps.

[toxic yacht]

I usually always drink stuff when watching this, so it gives me a chance to take a piss

[pine star]

2.0

[toxic yacht]

nicolas throwing

[pine star]

WH died last

WHAT'S GOING ON

[toxic yacht]

he's learning

IT'S EVOLVING

nicolas has done absoletely nothing on pharah

you saw his ult? lol

[pine star]

Did he ulted? ._.

[flat sparrow]

this hold doe

[toxic yacht]

no, I meant his ult charge

but coL is throwing again

[pine star]

Oh lmao

[toxic yacht]

wh dad again

gg

F

[flat sparrow]

gg

[toxic yacht]

so much skill

he pressed Q

and held left click

[dusty surge]

Wow. G. G.

[pine star]

And look at the payload

._.

[toxic yacht]

while doing 30 damage per shot

tork on lucio

what are they going for...?

[dusty surge]

I mean... it was 25 damage pre-buff. Not a lot of functional difference there. Maybe one additional bullet.

[pine star]

He'll switch

[toxic yacht]

probably joemeister is a shit symmetra

[pine star]

They generally use Lúcio to boost Symmetra to the point to set up the turrets faster

And then switch

[toxic yacht]

eh, I was mostly complaining about how little skill the prevelant combo takes again

[pine star]

Since they won't have him

Well yeah

[toxic yacht]

ah, okay

that would explain a lot

[balmy wolf]

Wait what happened? I wasn't watching

[pine star]

It's actually harder to use deadeye

Which is sad

[toxic yacht]

you can't let winghaven go down quickly

gg

[pine star]

Pause

[dusty surge]

Yeah. I think we still have another year of teams finding the most broken, ezmode combo and abusing it before the game finally starts hitting parity with abilities.

[toxic yacht]

ayy, tork is on zarya now

TIL that people do the speedboost thing

[dusty surge]

Triple tank, single heal.

[toxic yacht]

hidan ded

[pine star]

gg

[toxic yacht]

wh dead

gg

[pine star]

gg

[balmy wolf]

gg

[flat sparrow]

lol

[toxic yacht]

they pushed too far back

🤦

[dusty surge]

Yeah, it was just Winghaven on the cart. Where'd the rest of complexity go?

[toxic yacht]

eh, they both get 12000

[dusty surge]

Doesn't that just get paid to their team anyway?

I would expect their salaries to make that look minuscule.

[balmy wolf]

I hope so for them

[toxic yacht]

yeah, that's probably what happens anyway

12000 to the org most likely

splitting up 12000 between 6 people is a bit

[pine star]

That's why you need D.Va

No D.Va, no win

[dusty surge]

Is the final tomorrow or today?

[pine star]

Today

[dusty surge]

"

That's it for Day 2 of the #WinterPremiere Live Finals!

Tune in tomorrow at 10AM PST (12PM CST) and find out whether Immortals or Ghost will take first prize at the Overwatch Winter Premiere!"

[toxic yacht]

wut

[pine star]

What?

[toxic yacht]

I'm dum

[pine star]

No way

[toxic yacht]

I was 100% that the finals are today

no fuckin way, lol

[pine star]

Ammm

[dusty surge]

Yeah, I'm confused. I thought they were today, too. But yesterday was day 1.

[pine star]

That's from yesterday @dusty surge

[toxic yacht]

yeah, he said grand finals are coming back now

[dusty surge]

Oh, yeah, announcers said they're up next.

But yesterday was day 1. Watf twatter?

[toxic yacht]

I think it's just copy-pasted messages and shit

[pine star]

Well

Atleast coL kinda put up a fight

...15 minutes

Guess I'll go to the market and grab some snacks lol

[toxic yacht]

time to go wank

[balmy wolf]

I'm rooting for Immortals in the finals but I like Ghost as well >_>

Even though half their team is leaving after this

[pine star]

@balmy wolf what?

[toxic yacht]

three of the members are leaving after the WP

https://www.over.gg/2715/ghost-gaming-picks-up-kungarna-as-team-plans-to-split

[pine star]

Oh damn

[balmy wolf]

They're probably gonna be signed by a bigger org

[toxic yacht]

maybe the whole ghost thing seemed to fishy to them

like, this org that no one ever heard of comes out of fucking nowhere

has tons of funding, offers them a teamhouse etc

already purchased a gow team

[balmy wolf]

Yeah idk

[toxic yacht]

maybe they found it too fishy and went for a more established org

but I wouldn't know

the timer is fucked yo

[balmy wolf]

:c

It went up again...

[pine star]

Oh well

Apparently I lasted 40 seconds at the market lol

[dusty surge]

Ye olde timer reset loop

My practice session kicked me out before this 15 minute break ended. NGE pls.

[gritty crow]

Finally starting

[balmy wolf]

I can't wait for this to be over so I won't ever have to hear these casters again

[vestal mortar]

So much yelling

[gritty crow]

Someone is enjoying it

[balmy wolf]

That was pretty brutal

but yeah that one guy is going apeshit

[gritty crow]

wow

[toxic yacht]

I, I fell asleep and missed a ton

lol

[balmy wolf]

Grim just killed everyone

Again

I can't remember the last time someone got so many Deadeye kills in a tournament match

[pine star]

Grim carrying so hard lmao

My Discord is working funny

[limber pine]

Grim MVP so far

[balmy wolf]

Another one >_>

[balmy wolf]

They're analysing the way they entered the stage omg

[pine star]

In moments like this (pauses and such) is when I love Monte and Doa

[balmy wolf]

I've never heard Monte cast before, he's really good right?

[pine star]

Yeah

[balmy wolf]

"I'm really not stalling for time"

[pine star]

You didn't watch the world cup?

[balmy wolf]

I wasn't very interested tbh

[pine star]

APEX Season 1?

[balmy wolf]

Since there were not professional teams were playing

Busy with finals

[pine star]

Oh

Well he'll be casting this tuesday on APEX Season 2

[balmy wolf]

Is he an analyst or shoutcaster?

[pine star]

Both

He was on the desk on the World Cup a couple times

But he's a color caster

[balmy wolf]

Cool, I hope the APEX casting improves

I was only able to catch the first matches but I wasn't blown away

[pine star]

The best play-by-play caster in my opinion is Uber

But I love the Monte/Doa duo

[balmy wolf]

Uber really brings the hype, but ZP is still my favorite

Thankfully they're both part of the same team usually

With Jason Kaplan and Hex

[pine star]

I don't quite like Hex tbh

And don't get me started on Slasher lmao

[balmy wolf]

Slasher is creepy dude omg

[pine star]

ikr

[clever wagon]

Hm

[pine star]

Oh look who's back

[clever wagon]

Even if I want to sleep in some more, I can't

[pine star]

Why?

[clever wagon]

I live in like a house neighborhood instead of in the middle of a town, like near a community center, a park or something

Yet someone from the local city govt who's my neighbor fucking pulled a town-wide callisthenics or something in the field that's literally right in front of my house

Of course that means speakers and sound systems to go along with it

And it's fucking loud

[pine star]

Oh that sucks

[clever wagon]

Piece of shit

It's literally loud on levels that's fucking unnecessary

And they were fucking using Hatsune Miku's levan polkka to like test the speakers or something

Goddammit

[balmy wolf]

Not a bad way to wake up tbh

[clever wagon]

It's bad

Because it's loud

If it was on a tolerable volume then whatever

[pine star]

Yeah I'd be mad even if it was my favorite band

[clever wagon]

I had to fire up my PC and wear my headphones immediately

Fuck the noise

[balmy wolf]

At least you got to see Boostio do something just now

[pine star]

lmao yeah

[clever wagon]

Kungarna is a better and more unique name

Org sux

[pine star]

JFC SOMEONE DEAL WITH GRIM FFS

[balmy wolf]

Yessss

[pine star]

Man

Grim is up there with the best

[balmy wolf]

He's secretly Taimou's son

_>

[pine star]

Grim to Ghost: "Welcome.. to my reality"

[clever wagon]

Aw SHIT

Ster started streaming For Honor

WHAT DO

[gritty crow]

Mute NGE, play Ster in background. Pretend Ster is solo casting and doing a really bad job

[pine star]

^lol

Grim is just ridiculous

What the actual fuck ._.

[green torrent]

high level OW is fucked up

it's like "How the fuck do they do this"

maybe it's cause I don't have all that many hours on it yet

[pine star]

And this isn't even top level OW

[green torrent]

but when I look at SC2 and CS:GO, it's like "Oh, I see how they did that", even if it's like mindblowing what they did

in OW, it's like "How"

[pine star]

Yeah well

The thing is OW is far much far passed

[green torrent]

also to be fair, they were focusing the McCree player

and McCree is just pure precision

which is always very amazing

[pine star]

And also we're not quite there in terms of spectator

Yeah

[green torrent]

do they ban skins on tournaments?

[pine star]

Yeah

[green torrent]

sounds fair, I suppose

I'm just used to games that don't do that

[pine star]

For both the players and the casual viewers

[green torrent]

I guess

[pine star]

Damn

[dusty surge]

Hrmm.

[green torrent]

even golden guns banned, though

[dusty surge]

I wonder why

[green torrent]

that one I'd argue being exaggerated

[dusty surge]

Also, wtf happened to Ghost?

[limber pine]

GG

[gritty crow]

GG

[balmy wolf]

gg

[dusty surge]

Odd. They were wrecking it, then constant tech issues happened, and then they were garbage.

[solid spear]

Sodipop boyz :' )

[balmy wolf]

They've come a long way

to make it to the top of the tier 2 teams

[solid spear]

honestly

are they not a tier 1 team

[balmy wolf]

We don't know yet

I doubt they'll be able to give teams like NV and the Korean teams a run for their money

but who knows

They've beaten C9 before

[solid spear]

I mean theyre defintely a top 5 western team imo

[balmy wolf]

At this point, yeah

[solid spear]

but yeah theyve come a long way from their Sodipop days

[pine star]

I'm kind of glad Ghost lost

They seemed like kind of assholes lol

[balmy wolf]

There's a large gap between the top and the teams that come after though

[solid spear]

Well

we still need to see how Ghost looks after this

[pine star]

Grimreality

The walking highlight reel

[solid spear]

since half this roster isnt gonna be with them anymore

[pine star]

Yeah

Specially ConnorJ

[limber pine]

word on the street is they're going to NRG

[pine star]

Say whaaaaaaaat

[limber pine]

although the source is twitch chat, so.....

who knows for sure

[pine star]

...

[solid spear]

...

[limber pine]

..

[pine star]

dat sauce tho

[balmy wolf]

Well, night guys >_>

[forest raven]

ayy IMT won

[clever wagon]

I still don't get why Apex is so drawn out

[balmy wolf]

I think tournaments that only last a couple days are more exciting too

[toxic yacht]

Yeah, lol

I also appreciat apex breaks, but they take too long for my taste

Shit like 9 hour playoffs during the ow open were a bit much though

[balmy wolf]

OW Open was lit

Best tourney so far

[toxic yacht]

Not ESL?

You heathen

[balmy wolf]

Atlantic Showdown is #2

Oh wait

I got them mixed up

Atlantic Showdown #1 OWOpen #2

[toxic yacht]

:ok_hand:

[balmy wolf]

Also, even back then Nomy had visa issues

He couldnt play for IMT so they got a sub

Just like the WP

You think he'd have taken care of it in like 4 months

[toxic yacht]

Nope, apparently it still didn't work, lol

[balmy wolf]

They still won though

Not too surprised

[toxic yacht]

IMT is probably the strongest team in NA while FaZe is being shit and the others are in KR

[balmy wolf]

KR*

[toxic yacht]

Thanks, I just noticed it

[balmy wolf]

and yeah, I agree

Kungarna is definitely #2 though

or, Ghost

[toxic yacht]

Ex ghost

Half of them are going, lol

[balmy wolf]

I wonder who they'll pick up after Connorj, Ajax and b1am leave

Yeah I know sojum I'm the one who told you about it

you dumbo

[toxic yacht]

No, I knew it before you told me,go read my messages

U red butt

[balmy wolf]

Read what messages

Im not going back like 4 days

[toxic yacht]

Canary search is a thing, when I'm on my pc...

[balmy wolf]

Im not installing canary just for that lul

[toxic yacht]

I will do it if I ever turn on my pc today

[balmy wolf]

Ghost should have just taken the name Kungarna tbh

Because their name and logo are both shit

[toxic yacht]

Yeah, lol, kungarna looks and sounds much better

[pine star]

You two are so romantic

[simple granite]

How do u change ur pic

[toxic yacht]

Settings

Gear icon down left

[simple granite]

Found it thx

[clever wagon]

Kungarna actually sounds unique

Ghost is like some edgy kid came up with the name

[pine star]

2ghosty4me

[toxic yacht]

apparently NGE production values were so trash that harb couldn't hear 2 of his teammates according to himself

LG said the same thing

when they said it to NGE they were told to deal with it

[clever wagon]

Wow

There we go

So much for "NA cameraman", quote Twitch chat

So much for OMEN PC too I guess?

[toxic yacht]

yeah, lol

the tournament was mediocre through and through tbh

[clever wagon]

Apex/OGN actually didn't mind spending a bit of time repairing some issues in d-day I guess, I remember they spent a couple minutes seemingly fixing something when players were already seated

In one of the matches

[toxic yacht]

Usually such a big org behind it would take their time to fix their shit

also, it's korean

they value that a lot

wouldn't let it get fucked by that type of stuff

[clever wagon]

As expected of the leading e-sports country

[dusty surge]

That doesn't surprise me, Sojum, considering what we saw from the games.

Teams dominated or failed hard around those tech issues.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was what happened during the finals as well -- Ghost dominating and then falling apart literally between one of those pauses.

[clever wagon]

Anybody have the Ryujehong 1v1 against Genji clip?

I'm triggered over my friend posting one of those clickbait OW videos

Nvm

Found it

[ashen jackal]

Lol

[flat sparrow]

Who's immortals dps That rapped ghost in the Final?

[toxic yacht]

GrimmReality

[balmy wolf]

GrimReality

[flat sparrow]

Grim really?

[toxic yacht]

he's fucking god

he fights 1v6

[flat sparrow]

Any has a clip on what he did in the Final?

[toxic yacht]

I have a clip from the game vs LG

[flat sparrow]

In the Final he was just....

[toxic yacht]

https://clips.twitch.tv/overwatch_nge/MuddyLemurBigBrother

[flat sparrow]

I had a bit of an orgasim there

[toxic yacht]

I fucking died there

man

So now I can add Grimm to Taimou, aKm and Surefour when talking about good McCree's

[flat sparrow]

Upe is up there with shadowburn on genji isn't he?

[toxic yacht]

not sure yet, haven't seen enough of ube, but he's really good

[balmy wolf]

"now"

[toxic yacht]

I'd like to see him perform vs top teams

[balmy wolf]

Grim has always been an amazing McCree

[toxic yacht]

shadowburn held his own vs rogue and fnatic

also, if they'd show ube's dragonblades in first person instead of third

I could compare him to SDB better

[flat sparrow]

He was a god yesterday

[toxic yacht]

Some speculation about who from LH will play vs LW blue

https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/5r0y5z/which_6_players_from_lunatic_hai_do_you_think/

[pine star]

@toxic yacht dat profile pic tho

[toxic yacht]

It has to be this way

[pine star]

Sexy af

[toxic yacht]

He's the god of sexy

[pine star]

Also

They need to get rid of Tajun

He's a liability

[toxic yacht]

All this Tajun hate :( But yeah, apparently he's the weakest member on the team

[clever wagon]

Put EscA back innn

[pine star]

^yeah

It makes literally zero sense to have Tajun in the roster and Esca on the bench

[clever wagon]

Idk though, what do you think he's good at other than his obvious McCree?

I didn't follow Apex S1, as we all know

One of the aspects that I read in which LH is said to base the player switches on is map versatility or smth, but I don't imagine that matters to the point that you really need someone other than EscA in his position

[balmy wolf]

God damn it

Why are these APEX times so shitty? I won't be able to watch again...

[clever wagon]

5 PM local time

Though I won't be able to catch first match of the day live anymore once classes start

:/

[balmy wolf]

Second for me

Oh well

It's not like it's the finals yet

[clever wagon]

Sayaplayer is a resident weeb it turns out

Thumbs up

[solid spear]

Weeb 👀

[balmy wolf]

Nice

[clever wagon]

Monte's gonna be casting today

Naisu

With DoA

[clever wagon]

4 hours, 4 hours~

[toxic yacht]

Esca plays the best Mei in OW imo

He also played Reaper really well during Beyblade

Basically, he is just their hitscan player and performs well on everything hitscan + mei

[clever wagon]

LH in Friday

Please LH put EscA back in

[clever wagon]

15 minutes to Uncia vs AF Blue

Monte DoA ayyy

[forest raven]

Hype

[clever wagon]

Predictions?

BACK WITH KR PRODUCTION VALUE BOI

[forest raven]

Uncia'll take it 3-2

[jagged crater]

haksal is nutty

bubbly the happy chubby asian

he smiles more than mickie

[forest raven]

[clever wagon]

NOT ILIOS

[jagged crater]

oasis HYPE

[clever wagon]

IT'S HAPPENING

[forest raven]

Aww yiss

[clever wagon]

ArHaN not on DPS 😮

[forest raven]

Arhan on D.va LUL

[jagged crater]

both teams still using dva. Interesting

[clever wagon]

No, no

Both teams USING TRIPLE TANK

[jagged crater]

so still using your standard triple tank w/ soldier

with excepsion of panker using winston

[clever wagon]

Are we still watching Korea even 😮

[jagged crater]

is this the first apex match under new patch?

[clever wagon]

Yes

[jagged crater]

maybe meta not developed yet so they use what they're used to

hog and dva are still decent imo

love the flying jump padded soldier ult

[forest raven]

Yeah, if Arhan hadn't booped him it would have done a lot more

[clever wagon]

Panker's Rein 😮

Bubbly so happy

[forest raven]

I hope the rest of this series is as close as that

[jagged crater]

ooo both teams with gengu

[clever wagon]

Arhan is back on Genji

Ayyyy

[forest raven]

feelsgood

[clever wagon]

Ayy Birdring forced to switch

hahaHAA

[forest raven]

Birdring not playing hog

Birdring what

[jagged crater]

dam didnt get to see the other map

[clever wagon]

?

[jagged crater]

oh gosh mercy :3

rip mercy

[clever wagon]

Aw ArHaN didn't wait for his deflect to get back first

[forest raven]

Arhan lost the lucio so he couldn't kill the zarya

[clever wagon]

Sloppy AF Blue

[jagged crater]

arhan expanding his hero pool

[clever wagon]

3-0 here we go

AF Blue so sloppy

[forest raven]

gdi

I'm so sick of 3-0's and 3-1's

[jagged crater]

bring back the mercy

[clever wagon]

ArHaN on Sombrero

Woo

[forest raven]

They've given up

[jagged crater]

that sombrero pick

[clever wagon]

Mass suicide

[forest raven]

Damn son

Did not expect that roll on 1st point from AF

Af Blue coming back

Please don't make this a 3-0 🙏

[clever wagon]

What was that shot?

[jagged crater]

goddamn dnce

[forest raven]

DNCE OP

[clever wagon]

Lol Panker

Then there's this https://clips.twitch.tv/ster/ZanyAlbatrossFailFish

NeverForget

[forest raven]

Birdring and Recry haven't shown the best ability with McCree

CMON AF BLUE

DONT MAKE IT A 3-0

[clever wagon]

3-1

[forest raven]

PLEASE

[clever wagon]

YAAAAS

[forest raven]

DO IT

WIN A GAME

YES

[clever wagon]

What the fuck happened

I only went to reheat some leftovers

[forest raven]

AF Blue won a map and were prepared to throw for some skins

I'm just happy they won a map

[clever wagon]

Wait who was attacking

I thought it was AF Blue

[forest raven]

Nope, Uncia

[clever wagon]

It was right?

Holy shit

[clever wagon]

2nd match worth watching?

[forest raven]

RunAway are the favourites

I don't think they got out of challengers in season 1

[clever wagon]

Welp

Wow, total underdog

[forest raven]

Yeah

RunAway 3-0'd AF Red and LW Red in the promotion matches

[clever wagon]

That already sounds monstrous enough in and of itself

Reminds me of Winter Premiere

[forest raven]

kek

DoA and Monte are the greatest time fillers of all time

[jagged crater]

DM'd?

[forest raven]

Looks like it

[clever wagon]

DM?

[forest raven]

Defence Matrix

[clever wagon]

It already stuck and DVa was nowhere nearby

https://clips.twitch.tv/ognglobal/FaithfulDuckRiPepperonis

[forest raven]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[clever wagon]

Seems like a bug https://twitter.com/Mendokusaii/status/826403630362173440

[forest raven]

Ah

I feel bad for Flash Lux

[clever wagon]

I mean

I don't want to talk bad and all

But how did they get through Challengers?

[pine star]

lmao I'm not seeing right now cuz at work

Are they that bad?

[clever wagon]

Well...

Idk

I mean

They were top 9-12 Apex S1

But...

No sponsors, PC bang amateur...

I digress

Their Reinhardt looked bad in the first map

[jagged crater]

flash lux on full tilt

[forest raven]

WEESO NO

YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET A SPONSOR IF YOU FAT FINGER YOUR ULT

[jagged crater]

pharah with the comeback

[forest raven]

Kox with the comeback

[clever wagon]

Mercy throw tbh

[forest raven]

That was a team throw tbh

Fleta overextended

Kinu positioned himself poorly

Weeso fat fingered his ult

And they got complacent and got delayed too long by Kox

[mortal thunder]

sad the mei trick didnt work :/

[forest raven]

ikr

Didn't matter in the end though

[mortal thunder]

no

[forest raven]

Another 3-0 haHAA

[forest raven]

@limber pine Did you watch the matches today?

[limber pine]

nah i can't watch the morning stuff (work...bleh)

[forest raven]

rip

[limber pine]

how's APEX been so far?

[forest raven]

Honestly? Kinda boring so far

Every single game has felt unbalanced save Envy vs. MVP

[limber pine]

sadface

[forest raven]

Like, that was the only 3-2

Every other match has been 3-1 or 3-0

RunAway completely stomped Flash Lux today and Uncia mopped up AF Blue handily

[clever wagon]

Not much of a good match today

Nobody really stands out imo

I mean, take C9 vs Conbox

As much of a stomp it was, there were some interesting feats

Today... ehh

Though... wait

Maybe Panker?

[forest raven]

Panker had some sneaky rein plays

As he is want to do

[clever wagon]

Ye

Omg @forest raven your tag change confused me there

[forest raven]

kek

[clever wagon]

Panker was ok, but AF Blue's Adam's Rein was nowhere near that good

No interesting Rein battles

Friday's matches though

[forest raven]

LW Blue and Lunatic Hai rematch gachiGASM

[clever wagon]

Lul

S1 was it?

[forest raven]

The two teams played in the IEM finals

[clever wagon]

Ohhh right

First match also seems pretty ok

[balmy wolf]

[forest raven]

Polo

[clever wagon]

Athena was ok, Infinity gave NV quite a hard time

[forest raven]

Did you watch today's games

[balmy wolf]

No I was asleep

[clever wagon]

Not missing much tbh

[forest raven]

Ah

^

[balmy wolf]

All apex matches are on when im asleep

[forest raven]

Uncia made short work of AF Blue and RunAway ran over Flash Lux

[clever wagon]

Too bad Monte's first match had to be today

[balmy wolf]

By the way, NiP is playing in a tourney soon

[clever wagon]

Oho

[balmy wolf]

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/overwatch/Assembly/2017/Winter

Casted by Uber and J Kap

I've only heard of Ence

No idea who the other two are

Looks like NiP will take this easy

[forest raven]

Yeah looks like a slam dunk lmao

[balmy wolf]

Im still gonna watch tbh

I haven't seen NiP play in months

[clever wagon]

Ahh classic Finland, one of the major CSGO countries

Oh lol

Ence doesn't seem to have any match history?

1 for REDS

SkitLite has history dating back to July, though all of them are... losses

:/

Too bad NiP is heavily EU based

If they could just move over like C9 and NV...

[balmy wolf]

Them being EU based isn't really the problem

I think they just dont want to or cant move over to NA

Misfits have already moved

or are in the process

[clever wagon]

Well I mean that's kinda my point

[balmy wolf]

and Rogue probably are aswell

[toxic yacht]

You know what's funny?

[clever wagon]

I worded it kinda vague I guess

[toxic yacht]

Someone on this server

Mikhail aka xcm

Was almost accepted into Ence

[forest raven]

Wow

So they must be a shit team

[balmy wolf]

GOTTEM

[clever wagon]

Smh @forest raven stick to 1 tag already >.>

[forest raven]

no u :<

[toxic yacht]

The only reason why he's not in is because he has to do mandatory military service

[clever wagon]

Yeehaw Discord double posting there it is

[forest raven]

Where does xcm live

[clever wagon]

What's with xcm tho

[toxic yacht]

There are barely any support mains above 4,4k who were looking for a team, so they'd definitely have taken him

Fellsbad

[clever wagon]

What's his SR

[balmy wolf]

4.5

iirc

[toxic yacht]

I forgot, but he's usually hovering around low-mid gm, was 130 in EU at some point

Fucking hell

My connection cut for a solid 8 minutes

Because the train decided to go under ground

[forest raven]

rip

[toxic yacht]

Mik is Finnish

Since Ence is a Finnish org and wanted fins

[forest raven]

Ah

[quartz spindle]

@balmy wolf what tournament are nip gonna be in next?

[forest raven]

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/overwatch/Assembly/2017/Winter @quartz spindle

[quartz spindle]

Thank you ❤

[forest raven]

np fam ❤

[balmy wolf]

I posted it when I said "nip is playing in a tourney soon"

:v

[forest raven]

@balmy wolf I appreciate you still dw about it

[quartz spindle]

I only know nip, so what are the other teams like? And are nip expected to win?

[clever wagon]

Just look at their match history

[quartz spindle]

That's too much effort, I'd prefer a discussion with others instead

[balmy wolf]

Match history is pretty iffy on liquipedia

gosu is better for that

But yeah the other 3 teams are pretty bad

I've only ever heard of Ence and they're not really that good either

So NiP will take that easily

[solid spear]

I'm familiar with most of the non NIP players so...

Yeah

[balmy wolf]

I haven't heard of anyone on any of the other teams

lul

[solid spear]

Yeah they're not notable lul

I mean there's not a crazy amount of talent left in EU let alone just Finland

[balmy wolf]

I'd say theres a lot of talent left in EU

Like former ANOX/Slav Squad

Thats like 8 or so guys

and then Ex-Reunited

[solid spear]

Oh I know I meant like comparatively

Obviously the scene there is dwindling

[balmy wolf]

Yeah definitely

[solid spear]

U_U

I really do think the OW League is a major reason for that

[balmy wolf]

100%

That's the biggest reason the EU scene is dying

But

http://i.imgur.com/OKKr7nW.png

So don't lose hope yet

[solid spear]

Yeah

For those who missed KD Uncia vs AF Blue & RunAway vs Flash Lux, here's my quick recap including my picks for players & map of the day. As always feedback is welcome and appreciated!

[pine star]

The kid's a beast

He must be so happy with the new meta

[toxic yacht]

they lost 0 games, right?

Lol, Immortals just smashing all tier 2 teams while the rest are in Korea

Could get boring while APEX is still going

[balmy wolf]

I like watching IMT play

Just because Agilities and Grim

[toxic yacht]

Well, looks like Leetajun won't be a liability anymore

https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/5r9ldr/breaking_news_leetajun_and_dean_of_lunatic_hai/

Lmao

[dusty surge]

The fuck?

Banned from a tournament because they were dating online like jerks?

[toxic yacht]

Koreans take their eSports really seriously + Asian culture

Lol

Their fans feel betrayed or some nonsense

You really don't want to fuck with your fans over there

[dusty surge]

Huh.

I feel like in the US, the stereotypical "pro" gamer even getting a girlfriend would be celebrated, never mind multiple.

[toxic yacht]

Yeah, probably

But things work very differently over there apparently

Korean eSports is weird as shit

And full of drana

First the Pine and Nanohana thing, and now this. Too much drama for one week, lol.

[balmy wolf]

Flow3r*

[toxic yacht]

DEAN WAS ASKING FOR NUDES

LMAO

[balmy wolf]

lul

[clever wagon]

Wait what

E-Sports players are idolized this much just like Japan otaku idolizes their idols?

Well shit Korea, changed my opinions much

On the flipside though, wb EscA

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ashen jackal]

Japan Otakus don't idolize; idolize = / = obsession

Otakus are also a disgrace

[solid spear]

Watch yourself

[ashen jackal]

?

I live in the country

I know

[solid spear]

76 pls

[clever wagon]

K sorry

[pine star]

Tajun benched for the rest of Apex HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[neat matrix]

cloud9 best team

[limber pine]

[neat matrix]

[forest raven]

[neat matrix]

[clever wagon]

:Cloud9:

Woah holyshit

[solid spear]

[toxic yacht]

Dayum

[plucky vortex]

[forest raven]

@toxic yacht I'm watching the vod of Misfits vs. LW Blue, and so far it seems like a close series even though Misfits lost 3-1

[balmy wolf]

Dean was asking for nudes from underage girls so it's completely understandable that he got dropped

[forest raven]

Age of consent in Korea is 13, it's just looked down upon in Korean society. No crimes were committed, their actions just weren't accepted @balmy wolf

Also Leetajun and Dean weren't dropped, just banned from participating in the rest of APEX Season 2

By Lunatic Hai, not OGN

[toxic yacht]

Apart from Gibraltar, it was a relatively close game

[forest raven]

Yeah I'm watching it now :v

Zebbo did nothing

[toxic yacht]

Same goes for their game vs Lunatic Hai back at IEM, 2 draws + 1 KOTH, 3-0 as a result

And don't remind me of Zebbo

[forest raven]

kek

[toxic yacht]

Jesus fucking christ

I'm still so tilted whenever I think of that

[forest raven]

Well let's hope they perform better against AF Red

[clever wagon]

Misfits? More like Le Miserables

[toxic yacht]

:(

[clever wagon]

That game, at least

[toxic yacht]

Yeah, I'm confident in that they'll beat AF Red. I just pray that they can win vs Lunatic Hai, somehow

[clever wagon]

LH's a tough one

Odds are against them I think

[toxic yacht]

Yeah, methinks so too

[clever wagon]

Esp with EscA returning to his seat

[toxic yacht]

Last time they played vs LH (a few days after the new roster) they actually played them relatively closely, which makes it possible for them to beat them imo, but I just hope that they'll be more flexible this time instead of forcing triple dps

[clever wagon]

Misfits biggest problem in their first game was being unable to figure out their own plays most of the time wasnt it?

Ye

[balmy wolf]

@forest raven I'm not an expert on Korean law, but age of consent isn't the same as possessing child porn, or even trying to get hold of it

complicated af topic tho

[quasi python]

lol wtf

so whos gonna sub tae jun ?

[balmy wolf]

Esca, Whoru, Zunba, Miro, Ryujehong and Tobi will be the 6 playing in Apex from now on

[quasi python]

so esca back again?

[balmy wolf]

Yes

[balmy wolf]

Whoru has a nice name

[mild basin]

[pine star]

Whoru is a sick Genji

I'm yet to see his Pharah play

[clever wagon]

Oh right, tomorrow's LH vs LW Blue right

Also MVP.I vs Athena

Should be nowhere as disappointing as yesterday

[pine star]

I will be seeing the VODs tomorrow night

The match's really early in the morning

An can't watch it at work because I got a shitload of work assigned

hey folks, check out @Elbion 's article on Kongdoo Uncia > https://gamurs.com/articles/the-triple-threat-of-kongdoo-uncia

[clever wagon]

"He was already charging Graviton Surge, a notoriously slow building ability, faster than nearly every other player in the game was building theirs."

Faster than Surefour's 1m10s Zarya ult build in C9 vs Conbox?

That's a one time thing, but still

[toxic yacht]

lmao, you can't make this up

The drama thickens

https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/5rlmw7/dean_from_lunatichai_has_retired/

[clever wagon]

Holy shit

[forest raven]

whelp

korean esports is crazy man

[clever wagon]

Unable to connect to BNet servers, anybody else?

Screw the other channel

[toxic yacht]

Korean eSports is definitely crazy, lol. Apparently that's how all eSports over there are

And nope, apart from restarting BNet there isn't very much you can do in my experience

[balmy wolf]

tryin to get hold of child porn will do that

[frank frigate]

Morning y'all -- posted the discussion thread for this week's meta report just now! https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/5rnizv/overwatch_hero_meta_report_a_meta_in_transition/

Even Dva tanked in usage, but both teams that were in teh grand finals in the winter premier used her a decent amount bc they have really good dva players. lemme know what you think here or in the comments!

[clever wagon]

[clever wagon]

Casualties from both sides
