kek, no tajun and dean

I still find it hilarious that haksal was flying on oasis

like, he was in the air permanently thanks to the structure of the first point

the one with the jump pad

[clever wagon]

FUCK THE OTHER 2 KOTH MAPS AMIRITE

[toxic yacht]

I still hope that LW Blue doesn't make it

Ayyy, oasis

but rip lijiang and nepal

[clever wagon]

Lunatic-Hai is where ma bois at

[toxic yacht]

LOL

[clever wagon]

So ofc I'm rooting for them lul

[forest raven]

LH lost the big rein player in dean

[clever wagon]

Miro's Rein can still work

Imo

[toxic yacht]

As long as misfits an lh somehow make it out

lol

I get it

the fuck?

where was I get it?

[clever wagon]

Sometimes we don't get it

[forest raven]

[toxic yacht]

jehong throw though

[clever wagon]

PLS TELL ME THEY'RE JUST GIVING LW A TASTE OF GETTING THE POINT

[forest raven]

idk what either of these teams are doing right now tbh

they both seem rattled

which makes sense i guess

[clever wagon]

Double suicide self destruct

[toxic yacht]

jehong on ana again
👍

esca potato aim

[forest raven]

rolled

[clever wagon]

MIROOOOO

[toxic yacht]

tobi fucking bloodthirsty

[clever wagon]

"I ❤ big boops and I cannot lie"

[vestal mortar]

❤ big boops

[toxic yacht]

ayyyy

LH waking up

the fuck did he even go mercy for? lmao

ryu throwing

[vestal mortar]

It must have been working in scrims

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[forest raven]

ryu was on mercy again kek

[toxic yacht]

nice throw

the fuck?

[forest raven]

switched to mccree at 90% kek

[toxic yacht]

you saw how much they rekt with the other comp

[clever wagon]

Casters lul

[toxic yacht]

ryu missed the quickscope

[clever wagon]

What the fuck is with the Nano delay?

[forest raven]

spec is fucked

[clever wagon]

I thought it was eaten by DVa

Or smth

[toxic yacht]

was he stunned?

[clever wagon]

No

[toxic yacht]

okay, I have no idea

[clever wagon]

Neither Zunba or Jehong was stunned

Daaamn

[toxic yacht]

genji is my dad

[forest raven]

ryu plays ana and miro plays rein and they start doing well

🤔

[clever wagon]

Ouch Zunba

Too soon tbh

[toxic yacht]

why did they nanoblade him when he was so low + anti heal + blizzard?

wat

lh was managing that push so obviously

the fuck?

pay attention to the killfeed

lol

[forest raven]

kek

[toxic yacht]

also, they mistook zunba with meko

[forest raven]

what was that grav

[toxic yacht]

dat hook

lmao

[clever wagon]

THAT SLEEP

[toxic yacht]

jehong was flanking

[vestal mortar]

That was a naisu sleep

[toxic yacht]

they never mentioned it though

[clever wagon]

Is Jehong #1 Ana world yet?

[toxic yacht]

imo he is

but this @forest raven guy here will disagree

[forest raven]

i can concede that ryu is number one ana

[vestal mortar]

I am pretty sure the majority feel he is number 1

[toxic yacht]

huh, lol, what caused the change all of the sudden?

[forest raven]

he is only number one ana

[toxic yacht]

but yeah, most of us circlejerk around ryu

[forest raven]

nothing else

[vestal mortar]

I don't think I have seen many argue otherwise

[clever wagon]

It's because of those plays he's truly #1 Ana

[forest raven]

people like chips, custa, hidan outclass ryu on the other supports

[vestal mortar]

Yeah I agree too, number 1 Ana, haven't seen too much of anything else top tier from him.

[clever wagon]

Well I'm talking about Ana though

[vestal mortar]

Yeah I agree

[toxic yacht]

I mean, yeah, ryu isn't even a support player

he just happened to like ana a lot

and it shows, tbh

[forest raven]

i still want nV vs. LH to cement ryu's number one spot or not

[toxic yacht]

atm NV is still the best overall team, methinks

but back when NV weren't the best for a while

LH beat them

[forest raven]

that was talespin nV

1.0 nV

[toxic yacht]

I'm pretty sure that NV would rek them by now though

[forest raven]

no mickie nV

[toxic yacht]

now that they took their spot back

after rogue stole it

[vestal mortar]

Yeah perhaps another nV vs LH soon would be cool

[forest raven]

they kinda got a free pass to the next stage with their group lmao

[toxic yacht]

yeah, lol

really nice groups there

[clever wagon]

Wait what

[forest raven]

i expect nV and meta, LH and LW Blue, c9 and uncia, panthera and runaway to go through

[toxic yacht]

another pause

so many technical issues

[clever wagon]

Tf OGN

[toxic yacht]

at least they fix the issues

as oppsoed to Winter Premiere

FLOWER NEARLY KILLED ALL OF LH WHILE LH KILLED HIS TEAM

[toxic yacht]

fucking projectile hax

whoru tried to deflect the graviton

[forest raven]

flower just killed everyone

over and over

i feel like every kill for lw blue had hanzo in it

[clever wagon]

Why does it seem like EscA so bent on not McCree-ing

[balmy wolf]

tfw forgot it started an hour ago

[forest raven]

[toxic yacht]

[forest raven]

[balmy wolf]

i wonder if rowboat works outside trusted

@azure cove jumbo

[toxic yacht]

[balmy wolf]

[forest raven]

100-0

then he goes mercy again

[balmy wolf]

x2

@forest raven Take away the chimp inbetween 2 CP

[clever wagon]

Went full Ana on 2nd set, won 4-3

LW Blue literally dropped 5 ults at once vs LH with only 3 ults ready when they started the push and still failed lul

[balmy wolf]

4 tank in Apex

This is gonna be like... What was it

[wicked elbow]

lets see how lunatic hai does on dive comp

[toxic yacht]

it's not there with you

okay, I'm confused

[dusty surge]

[balmy wolf]

Your browser seems so small

browser discord

[dusty surge]

Browser discord is easy to modify.

[wicked elbow]

whoru pro genji?

[dusty surge]

Also, they can't mien my datas

[toxic yacht]

apparently whoru is one of the best korean genjis

[forest raven]

every single korean genji is apparently the best korean genji

[supple nymph]

why is jehong playing zen

[clever wagon]

Because he can

[toxic yacht]

from what I gathered it's haksal, arhan, whoru, nanohana and a few other guys

[wicked elbow]

OH DAM

[toxic yacht]

arhan is shit though

[clever wagon]

Holy shit

LH

[forest raven]

YE BOI

[clever wagon]

LH's top notch Dive comp

[wicked elbow]

Was that like 5

[toxic yacht]

ArHaN "I'm better than ShaDowBurn"

lol

[wicked elbow]

seagull = rusty

[supple nymph]

seagullburn

[toxic yacht]

I mean shadowburn

not seagull

[wicked elbow]

o

[toxic yacht]

and yeah, seagull's genji is pretty rusty

although he got better

I think he's been playing him in scrims a lot recently

[dusty surge]

What's with the blue/red teams out of Korea? Are the teams related?

[clever wagon]

Seagull leans to flex more nowadays doesn't he

At least in streams, dunno with the new NRG

[toxic yacht]

yeah, he's been super flex since the pharmercy meta ended

[wicked elbow]

gg

[clever wagon]

Fucking hell

[wicked elbow]

aw 2x kill too late

[clever wagon]

LH's dive comp

[forest raven]

LUL

[toxic yacht]

@dusty surge same org

LW org

[forest raven]

one last fuck you from saey

[balmy wolf]

You're using browser discord on mobile, so the screen is too filled with the search feature and all you cant see the desc @dusty surge

[toxic yacht]

it's just that they have 2 teams

[balmy wolf]

You can access it on the app

[clever wagon]

YOU'LL NEVER REACH THE LAST POINT WITH FULL TEAM

[toxic yacht]

like AF Blue and AF Red

[supple nymph]

he went ana again

[toxic yacht]

same org, but two sister teams

[supple nymph]

whew

[dusty surge]

This is the most mobile full tower I've ever built. :D

[forest raven]

kongdoo uncia and kongdoo panthera

[wicked elbow]

kongdoo monster?

[toxic yacht]

oh yeah, kongdoo too

[clever wagon]

Kongdoo, LW, AF

Orgs with 2 sister teams

[forest raven]

does lw red still exist

[wicked elbow]

ryu on ana

[clever wagon]

Wait

[balmy wolf]

They just did some roster switches @forest raven

[clever wagon]

Yeah, does it?

[forest raven]

ah okay

[toxic yacht]

lw red got rekt by haksal

during the qualifiers

[balmy wolf]

@dusty surge Then I dont know, your screen looked really small in that screenshot though

And you said "they cant mine my data" so i assumed mobile

[toxic yacht]

lw red had nanohana + pine

but the rest of the team

was shit

[wicked elbow]

nope

hold

[toxic yacht]

after blue qualified

[forest raven]

LETS GO BOIS

[toxic yacht]

they put nanohana on blue

lol

[balmy wolf]

They picked up 4 new people

[clever wagon]

I'm fanboying LH's dive comp

[wicked elbow]

same

[supple nymph]

LH with the windowmaker

[vestal mortar]

Same

[toxic yacht]

well, rip LW Blue

after LH threw the first game

[balmy wolf]

Also LDLC just picked up Kensi and Anak

[clever wagon]

Came back hard

Might be a stretch, but people might just see Oasis as Jehong throwing

[forest raven]

i believe it

[toxic yacht]

I very much believe it

they went 100-0 when esca was on cree and jehong on ana

then they go mercy on koth, her worst gamemode

[wicked elbow]

gg lunatic hai!

[toxic yacht]

with no pharah

[forest raven]

YE BOIIIS

[toxic yacht]

yeah, lol

GO LH

[clever wagon]

Underdogs?

[toxic yacht]

PLEASE LOSE TO MISFISTS

[clever wagon]

Casters pls, LTJ isn't even the better one

[toxic yacht]

yeah, they were the underdogs

[forest raven]

lunatic hai has definitely proven they deserve the top spot in korea

[toxic yacht]

even in korea

people thought that they'd get rekt

[supple nymph]

LOL

that audience

[forest raven]

after a p dominating performance after oasis

lunatic hai has so many fan girls

[toxic yacht]

yeah, and tajun knew them very well

dean too

[vestal mortar]

lmao the crying fangirls haha

[toxic yacht]

he knew them in every possible way

with their clothes

without their clothes

[forest raven]

in their clothes

[toxic yacht]

Dean is truly the man I aspire to be

[forest raven]

soliciting all them minors

what an inspiration

[vestal mortar]

D:

[wicked elbow]

Who r u?

[forest raven]

whoru looks like a 14 year old

[balmy wolf]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/5rtll4/announcement_of_an_announcement_hype/

[toxic yacht]

haksal is 15

these guys

are all babies

probably NRG IDDQD

[forest raven]

pls

[toxic yacht]

I mean, they've been scrimming

doing tryouts

this timing seems too convenient to not be that

[balmy wolf]

Could be going with the Ex-Kungarna guys

[forest raven]

eh

i want seagull and iddqd on a team

[toxic yacht]

oh yeah, ex-kungarna should work too

tbh I'm just happy that NRG may get a dedicated tracer player

their tracer being their off-tank was kind of dumb

[vestal mortar]

Do ex kungarna have the buyout money for IDD tho?

[toxic yacht]

iddqd is a free agent atm iirc

[balmy wolf]

They're rumoured to be getting picked up by TSM

[toxic yacht]

eh, his twitter is still full of fnatic

I take back what I said

[vestal mortar]

He is not completely free, he's still under fnatic

Yeah, just not on the roster

[wicked elbow]

hold on

so nrg is getting twoeasy

[toxic yacht]

maybe

hopefully

but we don't know

[clever wagon]

When you got nobody to talk about OW Esports with irl surrounded by doto's

[vestal mortar]

NRG are lucky they have a lot of money in the org to actually buy out players like IDD who are still tied to an org

[toxic yacht]

I keep shoving eSports into my friends face

lol

because I have no one to talk about it with

[clever wagon]

I could try, but it's a waste of time

[balmy wolf]

tfw no one to talk about OW with irl

Time to watch NiP vs SkiLite

[vestal mortar]

I talk to my irl friends about OW + esports anyway

[clever wagon]

But fuck today was worth it

[vestal mortar]

Because I watch it in the studio and they always have questions 😛

[clever wagon]

LH asserting their dive comp supremacy

[balmy wolf]

Oh

The english stream tuned in on the 3rd map

.-.

Without uber

well im not watching that lul

https://www.over.gg/2746/strivewire-monthly-overwatch-brawl-announced

EU coming back to live

pls

[balmy wolf]

I didnt post it because it seemed like another small tourney lol

[clever wagon]

"Throughout the dry period for European Overwatch, community figures behind the scenes have been working to kickstart a regular tournament series that can grow sustainably. The first Monthly Brawl is a 16-team tournament with GSL group stages and single-elimination playoffs, running over Saturday and Sunday, 4th - 5th February."

That's actually admirable

[balmy wolf]

Oh shit

Thats tomorrow

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

These teams

Chavs, LDLC, Sydioda, Dig

Mmm

And its EU so its at a good time for me

[dusty surge]

Is it over?

[toxic yacht]

And Veineless is playing

Apex?

yeah, the matches just ended

like, a few minutes ago

[dusty surge]

Crap. Meeting made me miss it.

[balmy wolf]

https://www.twitch.tv/esl_overwatch

[limber pine]

vs

[balmy wolf]

Also NICE and big EU tourney this weekend

Even though the prize pool is dismal

[toxic yacht]

it's just the beginning

EU didn't have a monthly thing

it's a bit shit considering that the scene has already grown so much, but looking at how it's dying, a small start like this is nice

Especially since EU > NA and deserves it more

[balmy wolf]

I think it's not a bad thing they're starting from scratch

Gives new teams a chance to make a name for themselves and hopefully grow from there

I think its going to be Chavs vs Dig or Sydioda vs LDLC

in the Finals

[toxic yacht]

yeah, now that all the big teams are moving to NA

[balmy wolf]

Those 4 teams are definitely the strongest in this tourney

[toxic yacht]

a small start like this is really nice and it will allow smaller teams to get found. NA is a bit crowded, and if big teams keep crushing the smaller ones during Monthly Melees and so on they'll have a hard time getting big

[balmy wolf]

I'm rooting for Chavs

[toxic yacht]

Don't forget Grand Danois

they are fragsters

after their fucking stupid org dropped them

[balmy wolf]

Too bad Slav Squad disbanded a while ago

They probably would have took this tourney

Meh Grand Danois isnt really that good

Even a guy on their team said they beat Dig because they were tilted lol

They'll still probably beat the lower tier teams though

But they wont make it to Semis

[toxic yacht]

yeah, true

probably

dignitas beat them anyway

during the semis

[balmy wolf]

Indeed

Oh shit

@toxic yacht

[toxic yacht]

thanks

[balmy wolf]

Dids is on Pale Golden Rod

[toxic yacht]

Ayyy

he mentioned having a team multiple times

[balmy wolf]

gl @drowsy arrow

Oooh

he's in a pretty competitive group too

[drowsy arrow]

thanks ❤

[balmy wolf]

Strongest team in it is probably Ex TornadoRox

Those matches should be interesting

Dig and Sydioda in same group

LDLC and Grand Danois

Wow

[drowsy arrow]

ye, group with nerdrage is tough also

[balmy wolf]

The Chavs got an easy group

[clever wagon]

Not too familiar with EU scene :/

[toxic yacht]

inb4 EU version of group B

[drowsy arrow]

also that list you posted is pretty much gosu table lol

[balmy wolf]

This group A is just Apex S2 Group A all over again lol

[drowsy arrow]

I hear LDLC's new line up is quite strong though

[balmy wolf]

Yeah

Kensi and Anak are 👌🏻

[drowsy arrow]

erm

it was auto created from a rando tournament

[toxic yacht]

misfits vs Pale Golden Rod

Misfits

[balmy wolf]

http://i.imgur.com/ePzMg0F.png

This should be interesting

[toxic yacht]

[drowsy arrow]

[dusty surge]

[balmy wolf]

The Overwatch Alienware Monthly Melee tournament series will be returning in February, with an increased prize pool, a modified name, and a new logo (coming soon). @toxic yacht

Basically

[drowsy arrow]

I mean NiP go off gosu because inactive, that just shows how epic eu is

lmao

[balmy wolf]

EU coming back?

Fuck that

^ Gosu

[dusty surge]

legit camera work

[balmy wolf]

I cant wait to see what teams will be competing

[toxic yacht]

FaZe, IMT, Ghost hopefully

coL

LG

Citizen 0-7, maybe

[balmy wolf]

Are Fnatic, Envy and C9 the only tier 1 teams?

Or would IMT and coL be tier 1 too

Besides Korean teams

IMT maybeeee

I mean in NA

[toxic yacht]

IMT is definitely tier 1 now imo

[balmy wolf]

but coL no

[toxic yacht]

like, back when they were sodipop

they were too, probably

but I wasn't so sure back then

by now, yeah, definitely. They also beat C9 and won a monthly melee

[balmy wolf]

I'd like to see them play against a tier 1 team after they come from KR first

but probably eyah

[toxic yacht]

tbh C9 seems like the weakest of all t1 teams atm

FaZe has lost most of my respect since TwoEasy died, lul

I hope that they pick themselves up again

[drowsy arrow]

how can you kick the dude who made the team

🤔

[toxic yacht]

He made the roster with forsak3n, fctfctn, shadowburn and himself

then they got picked up by faze

and apparently they had a bad team atmosphere in faze

and twoeasy took the fall, apparently

[drowsy arrow]

😦

[toxic yacht]

according to him the atmosphere is still shit, lul

[drowsy arrow]

yea when we played them when they were 2Easy.com or whatever they just played so aggro

but this was when genji still has 8 second blade

ahhahahahahaha

[toxic yacht]

ahaha, shadowburn with an 8 second ult

🙃

[dusty surge]

Ugh. Bad memories.

[toxic yacht]

Must have been fun

[dusty surge]

Bad Genjis that did fuckall outside of ult.

[drowsy arrow]

ahh the days

I watch clips of 8 sec blade like erm wtf that is op

[toxic yacht]

yeah, lul. When I look back at it, it's kind of ridiculous

I was against nerfing him back then

but with the benifit of hindsight

yeah, everything except triple jump was waranted

[balmy wolf]

I still miss killing combo

[toxic yacht]

oh yeah, that was fun

you could oneshot people

if you landed headshots

[balmy wolf]

It was 171 without headshots

241 with 3 headshots

[limber pine]

ENCE vs REDS not bad

[balmy wolf]

Such a fun match

[toxic yacht]

fuck, I need to tune in

I forgot

[balmy wolf]

I forgot how much I love Jason

[toxic yacht]

now only uber is missing

jesus fuck

those widowmakers

[balmy wolf]

This is so fun

Now I remember why EU > NA :3

[toxic yacht]

yup, this is so much more fun than nge, tbh

[dusty surge]

This round 5.5 is pretty crazy

Boom. That's game.

[toxic yacht]

rip

I wanna watch NiP destroy them

[dusty surge]

If Baito had switched to Widow earlier after getting sniped the first time, they probably would have won that.

[balmy wolf]

wtffff this downtime

[toxic yacht]

I'm just happy that I can see NiP play again

admittedly, I hate the tank meta, and NiP are it's pioneers

But they play it with such aggression and so much style

[dusty surge]

Teams like NiP are what this game needs. 3T was awful, but until they pulled it out, everyone would have been called insane for running it.

Teams that laugh at our infantile "meta," and roll whatever they want are great.

Also, wtf is this music?

[limber pine]

no clue

[dusty surge]

Okay, nm. The vocal cut won me over.

[toxic yacht]

moonmoon song?

[dusty surge]

Isn't this the BGM from Streets of Rage 2?

[toxic yacht]

I own streets of rage 2

lemme go check

[dusty surge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uUnZMxgpbo&t=1m37s It's close

[toxic yacht]

yeah, it's close

it's already past 18:55

those liars

[dusty surge]

Has any OW tournament started on time yet?

[toxic yacht]

lol, don't think so

[dusty surge]

ib4 sandstorm

[toxic yacht]

ayyy, it started

and zappis on genji

[vestal mortar]

🤔

[toxic yacht]

eh, he's doing well

he's doing a ton of work

huh

I'd have expected to see hymzi on genji

[vestal mortar]

welp

[toxic yacht]

nip throwing

[dusty surge]

oh maaan

How is Exceed not dead like 10 times by now?

[toxic yacht]

this should never have gotten this far, lol

and exceet never died

[vestal mortar]

They should have gotten full held, NiP really fumbled with those ults on their last engage on first point

[toxic yacht]

they should just have let them get first

then wipe them after

[vestal mortar]

Yeah the dragonblade and nano boost rein ended up being a waste with Zappis and Fragi dying as soon as they ulted

Helsinki reds doing what NiP should have done 😛

[toxic yacht]

yeah, lol

kinda sad to watch, Reds have approached some situations smarter, but nip is flat out better

[vestal mortar]

Indeed!

[balmy wolf]

Are you reading ZP's messages in the chat?

[toxic yacht]

nope, am using the direct player because I'm allergic to twitch chat

[balmy wolf]

Next AMM will have almost every major NA team not in KR

Plus Hammers and possibly the new Reunited and Rogue

[toxic yacht]

oh wow

you really want to crush EU

[tawdry quartz]

Can confirm this^

[dusty surge]

There's a player outside of the UI?

[tawdry quartz]

Keep an eye out for an announcement over the next 3-5 days for the thing ZP is talking about

[toxic yacht]

https://player.twitch.tv/?channel=esl_overwatch&html5

@dusty surge

[vestal mortar]

Oh mah gawsh

[toxic yacht]

The AMM is gonna be so good

holy shit

[balmy wolf]

YES

[tawdry quartz]

Right?

[toxic yacht]

if only I wouldn't be asleep when it plays, lul

[balmy wolf]

Also good casters

[dusty surge]

Rad. Thanks, Sojum.

[vestal mortar]

I will stay up all night if I have to! This is so exciting!

[dusty surge]

But it's 1:30pm. :P

[balmy wolf]

19:23 lol

Everyone here has different times

[toxic yacht]

19:24 too

[vestal mortar]

I mean for AMM 😛 It is only 18:24 for me right now

[balmy wolf]

ayyy

[toxic yacht]

ahh, you brit

[vestal mortar]

I am not a Brit, I am Irish 😢

[balmy wolf]

Or Portugese

or that

[toxic yacht]

oh, irish

looks like polo has a friend, lol

portugal is also GMT?

okay, TIL

[balmy wolf]

Mhm

[vestal mortar]

👌

[dusty surge]

Polo is Irish? That explains a few things.

[toxic yacht]

fragi is fucking crazy

I love his reinhardt so much

like, if people think that reinforce is aggressive

then fragi is rabid

[vestal mortar]

Yeah Fragi is as ruthless as Miro

[toxic yacht]

NA ult from exceed

[tawdry quartz]

NiP didn't even need to flex their muscles. RIP Reds

On that last push

[toxic yacht]

NiP is so good

I love watching them so much

but they're a bit inflexible atm

mafu's unwillingless to play dva especially hurt them last patch

[dusty surge]

Zappis fail Mei icicles.

[toxic yacht]

lul, missing all of the icicles

[tawdry quartz]

Blizzard wasn't even necessary

[dusty surge]

Yeah. He needs to switch off Mei.

[tawdry quartz]

Inb4 grav wipe

Dammit

[toxic yacht]

man, this is like NV back when they still played in smaller tournaments

[tawdry quartz]

I just wanna see NiP play against immortals

[toxic yacht]

we need another EU x NA tourney

and not like OW Open, which did this dumbass "EU VS NA" story nonsense

ESL had this really cool thing were all played at gamescom

with mixed region groups

which is how shit like Rogue beating NV could happen

[tawdry quartz]

The thing is, normally mismatched teams like to play CP to try to win scrappy fights rather than have to rely on synergy and strategy but NiP isn't even winning on strategy and synergy...they are just winning

[toxic yacht]

NiP is flat out winning the 1v1s and small skirmishes

they're just getting outskilled

[vestal mortar]

Ahh that was so messy

I thought Helsinki reds would take point first but then NiP take over

100 - 0 anybody? 😛

[tawdry quartz]

Yeah, this isn't really a balanced event though so...

[toxic yacht]

it was pretty much guaranteed that NiP would take the whole thing

imo it's about which teams put up a good fight

[tawdry quartz]

Honestly this is time for some of these other players to stand out for top teams to pick out

Comeback!!!

[toxic yacht]

wow, they actually took it

damn

[tawdry quartz]

100-10 the dream!

[toxic yacht]

this is like you give a baby a bit of candy

before ripping it out of its hand again

lmao, that boop

[balmy wolf]

I thought he leapt off

[toxic yacht]

I thought so too, but apparently it was a boop

[dusty surge]

So is NiP just noob stomping in this tournament?

Why is the match so lopsided?

[toxic yacht]

pretty much

NiP is probably the strongest team in EU atm

these are all no-name finnish teams

well, not no-name, just not very big names outside of finland probably

[tawdry quartz]

This reminds me of every LAN tourney I've ever been to

[toxic yacht]

lmao

I never ever participated in any tourney, now that I think of it

[tawdry quartz]

Neither have I, just casted and spectated

I'm bad

[balmy wolf]

This is just destruction

[toxic yacht]

how is this legal?

🔞

[tawdry quartz]

^

Usually watching Overwatch makes me want to go play. But this just makes me sad

[balmy wolf]

The difference between tier 1 teams and lower is insaneeee

Is NiP destroying?

[dusty surge]

Destroyed. It is already done.

[toxic yacht]

freestyler

is this the song?

please be it

ayyyyy

[vestal mortar]

Haha

[toxic yacht]

yu gi oh

omg

jason kaplan is amazing

[pine star]

Ok so

I'm watching the VOD of Lunatic Hai vs LW Blue, and I'm curious

Why do they run Mercy on Oasis?

To many obstacules for the Ana to be accurate?

[balmy wolf]

They were throwing

[pine star]

Yeah well

They both ran it

[pseudo sail]

Hey folks, if you missed today's games in apex (MVP Infinity vs Meta Athena and LW Blue vs Lunatic-Hai), here's a quick recap including my picks for players & map of the day. As always feedback is welcome and appreciatedm be it here/twatter/reddit.

https://medium.com/@RadoNonfire/apex-s2-group-stage-day-5-scandal-bowl-87658af9cfa4

[pine star]

And on two points

So I'm pretty sure there's some strategy behind it

[toxic yacht]

LW Blue had the pharah

so at least that made sense

Lunatic Hai wanted... They wanted to make LW think that they had a chance, I guess?

Make the game more tense maybe?

[pine star]

lmao

I still think there's some strategy to it

But maybe I'm just overthinking things

[clever wagon]

Wait holy shit Gibraltar was LW's pick?

[pine star]

^suicide

[toxic yacht]

Remember how AFBlue picked Gibraltar vs EnvyUS?

[clever wagon]

Picking vertical map against Korea's best dive comp

But then again

Seeing at how it went

Probably wouldn't be able to stop LH either way

[quartz spindle]

Does anyone know what time the final of ESL is on at today

[vestal mortar]

5pm~ GMT I think?

[limber pine]

19:00 EET

so yeah 5 PM GMT

[quasi python]

bo5 or bo7???

[pine star]

Is that the European mini tournament that Nip is going to win?

[balmy wolf]

Yes

[toxic yacht]

[toxic yacht]

[balmy wolf]

Im very confused @toxic yacht

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

This was all the teams

And now ex-reu is playing

[quasi python]

so reunited no more?

[toxic yacht]

they stopped being reunited, like, a month back

[balmy wolf]

Indeed

[toxic yacht]

bunch of money and stuffs + ow league

[pine star]

Nice

[balmy wolf]

Yeah back at the start of January

Reu disbanded

[toxic yacht]

I'll be skipping over a few other games though

wanna watch NiP kill some fresh meat

[balmy wolf]

I can watch the VODs

this is a lot more interesting

[toxic yacht]

I'm probably just drawn to familiar names

also, zappis was on genji yesterday

normally hymzi is their genji player, but he's a fulltime roadhog these days

[balmy wolf]

Dids is against Reu first match today @toxic yacht

[toxic yacht]

uhh

fucking rip

I'll cheer for him though

[pine star]

I'm so lost

[toxic yacht]

literally exREUNITED

lol

[pine star]

What's live rn?

[toxic yacht]

StriveWire Monthly brawl

an EU tourney

so that our scene doesn't die, lol

[balmy wolf]

They have Sharyk and Rubikon now instead though @toxic yacht

Replacing Onigod and Winghaven

[toxic yacht]

yeah, I know. I'm 100% sure that they'll crush Dids

[balmy wolf]

So they're even better than before

[toxic yacht]

but I never saw them play, lul

[balmy wolf]

No offense to Onigod and Winghaven but eh

[toxic yacht]

I just hope that they can reach the status of one of the top 2 EU teams again

[balmy wolf]

Sharyk and Rubi are alot better imo

[pine star]

Can I have a link to that?

[toxic yacht]

I liked WingHaven though

https://www.twitch.tv/gosutv_ow

[pine star]

Thank you Mr Sojum

[toxic yacht]

brb unleashing the piss

[balmy wolf]

[pine star]

The fuck just happened

[toxic yacht]

well, see you in an hour or so, first I'll eat food and then take a shit

[pine star]

I'm just having breakfast lol

Provecho

[balmy wolf]

Kensi, Anak, Meza, Kabal and Narwak

are who I recognise

[pine star]

Kensi does sound familiar

But I just remember Anak from the World Cup

[balmy wolf]

Kensi and Anak were both on ANOX and Slav Squad

Game sound still really low

Because of skype

and no teams names above the teams

[pine star]

I don't really hear anything

[balmy wolf]

🤦🏻

[pine star]

Yeah

Rip

[balmy wolf]

Scr1be thinks red is ldlc

[pine star]

Yeah well

Doesn't help that viewers also don't know who is who

[balmy wolf]

Damn dude

That graviton by Mete

No followup

[pine star]

lmao my stream is delayed

[toxic yacht]

Sorcery I tell ya

My goddamned stream is delayed

[toxic yacht]

Showing the PotG rn

[toxic yacht]

ah, same here

[pine star]

I FUCKING LOVE THAT TRACER INTRO SO MUCH JFC I CAN'T EVEN

[toxic yacht]

I forgot that it exists

[pine star]

It's the best intro in the entire game imo

Then again, I'm a Tracer main so I'm probably bias lol

[toxic yacht]

lul, probably

my favourite intro is a genji one, I sense a pattern

[pine star]

Which one?

[toxic yacht]

the one where he cuts the pumpkin into pieces

[pine star]

That one's pretty cool

[toxic yacht]

I instabought it the second I saw it, lol

[pine star]

Tracer is my second main anyway

But you get my point lol

[toxic yacht]

yeah, I do

[pine star]

REKT

[balmy wolf]

How many fucking matches are on right now

[toxic yacht]

NiP destrucion isn't going on, Arm made a mistake

lol

it literally says 18 CET on stream

probably he thought 18 GMT

[pine star]

What

The NIP one is already on?

[toxic yacht]

nah, in half an hour

lol, finally he kills something with his dragonblade

[balmy wolf]

He didnt think 18 GMT lol

Thats in 2 hours

[pine star]

lol all because of Zarya

[toxic yacht]

oh, lol, not gmt

he just made a dumbdumb mistake

yeah, lol, only because of zarya

[balmy wolf]

What are you guys watching atm

[pine star]

Gosu

[toxic yacht]

Leaf should never play genji again /s

[balmy wolf]

There's 3 streams that are streaming this match

Between GO and LDLC

[toxic yacht]

different languages

iirc

[vestal mortar]

Ahh

[balmy wolf]

[toxic yacht]

[balmy wolf]

And the strivewire website says theres other matches on atm aswell
