GO AF RED! 😅

[stoic dragon]

rooting so hard for them right now

[toxic yacht]

welp, rip

[forest raven]

I want these guys to win at least one game.

[toxic yacht]

yeah

it will also make things easier for misfits

[forest raven]

^^

[toxic yacht]

and they didn't deserve to be put into this group :(

[stoic dragon]

이것도 너프해 보시지 < Nerf this!

[forest raven]

Yeah, the random sorting really didn't work out for qutie a lot of the teams...

[toxic yacht]

:(

[stoic dragon]

😦

you guys are both misfits fans?

[forest raven]

Myself less so than Sojum. :)

I have more of an attachment to western teams in general.

[stoic dragon]

that's fair 😛

[forest raven]

But BK Stars has won me over because of Carpe and Bunny. ^^

[balmy wolf]

By western teams he means Sure4, Mendo and Harbleu

[stoic dragon]

they both played extremely well today

oh, so two guys who can't stay on the point + harbleu 😦

soz

[forest raven]

I've kinda... given up on Cloud9. :/

But I am excited for IMT, NRG 2.0, Rogue 2.0 and Hammers!

[stoic dragon]

you think harblue will join NRG?

[forest raven]

Don't know who I'll root for in the next AMM. 😄

[toxic yacht]

Seagull said that he wants to try him out

[balmy wolf]

Either him or Nesh

[stoic dragon]

yeah i read that

[toxic yacht]

and harb said that NRG is the team he's the most interested in

they also used to be TF2 bois

[balmy wolf]

They also used to be on LG

[stoic dragon]

oh wow

i didnt know you could walk on that

[forest raven]

KR strats! :D

[stoic dragon]

that's kind blowing my mind

[forest raven]

🤣 https://twitter.com/MisfitsTviQuE/status/832569541158850564

[toxic yacht]

only 1 tick

once in my life

I will praise 2cp

kek, TviQ knows

fuck

[balmy wolf]

Is Misfits out now?

[stoic dragon]

gg 😦

[toxic yacht]

:/

nope, but misfits muse 3-0 LH

🙃

[balmy wolf]

They're out

Pathetic

[forest raven]

I'm optimistic for Misfits.

It's not at all inevitable.

[balmy wolf]

No someone can still matchfix

[toxic yacht]

🖕

to whoever made these groups

[forest raven]

RNG did. :(

[balmy wolf]

That's bad, there should be seeding at least

[stoic dragon]

goodbye, best hair in this tournament

[balmy wolf]

Also, another double 3-0

[forest raven]

Yeah, take one of the first seed teams from last season, one of the second seed teams, one of the third seed/newcomer teams and one of the foreign teams.

Instead of them being random.

[balmy wolf]

Exactly

[forest raven]

Oh well, hopefully OGN learns from this experience so they can make season 3 a more enjoyable time for all involved. :)

[balmy wolf]

I wonder what the Koreans think of this

[toxic yacht]

They don't like it

iirc

[forest raven]

LOL your avatar, Sojum.

:D

[balmy wolf]

Zebbo looks like he's crying

[toxic yacht]

He ate spicy food

then reinforce took a picture and meme'd him

[stoic dragon]

<- Korean, not too big of a fan

[toxic yacht]

ah, hi korean

bong me

when I utlt

But yeah, there is that guy on the comp sub

TSIRobin

and a few other koreans

who generally talk a lot about the korean scene and koreans opinions

I heard it from him

[forest raven]

https://twitter.com/MisfitsTviQuE/status/832573681654042624

:D

[stoic dragon]

haha, bbong me

well, im not big on LH so go misfits

until they face KD Panthera

[clever wagon]

Oh fuck it's @toxic yacht - Sojum

[balmy wolf]

[clever wagon]

I thought it was someone else

[toxic yacht]

ye, it's me

I need to express solidarity

[clever wagon]

https://puu.sh/u7gb1/a9f1cd9bb7.png

Same tbh

[balmy wolf]

I never had any hope tbh

Maybe when they were GoogleMe

and then when they got picked up by C9 in beta

after that

meh

Every game was a 5v6

[clever wagon]

So many blues

Maybe C9 shouldn't have worn the same color scheme

[forest raven]

If nV doesn't make it out of stage 2 of groups, I think I'll have to route for the KongDoo teams.

Not sure why, but I enjoy watching them play.

[clever wagon]

I know for sure some of the reasons why I enjoy KongDoo sisters so much

Panker, Rascal

Uhhh

DNCE too

[balmy wolf]

https://twitter.com/MonteCristo/status/832587021499510784

[stoic dragon]

KD Panthera for sure

I love watching Rascal play

[jade arrow]

Am i a fake

For not wanting to watch the other teams

I only gaf about LH and Nv

[clever wagon]

Not really

[clever wagon]

Wow these pauses

[dusty surge]

What pauses?

[toxic yacht]

mfw we have to 3-0 Lunatic Hai

http://i.imgur.com/9DDCgHy.png

[sour wraith]

so ryujehong is streaming an he is really good at Mcree and 76 but man ryujehong plays on an insainly low sens

[balmy wolf]

[clever wagon]

@dusty surge BK vs MVP match

So many pauses, I feel bad for OneFact

Couldn't keep watching

[jagged crater]

ryu one of the few korean players that plays at an even lower sens than western pros

every other korean plays at ridic high sens

[dusty surge]

Proving once and for all there is no one-true-sens

[jagged crater]

the general rule of thumb was to lower your sens incrementally while you're still comfortable doing 180s

[limber pine]

Minimap coming to spectator view: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20753268446#post-3

[jagged crater]

i personally followed that rule

[sour wraith]

He plays 1600dpi at 1.16-1.05 depending on character

[jagged crater]

went from 8 sens to 4 sens

[sour wraith]

I'm at 800/10 it 800/8 depending on how I feel

[toxic yacht]

ayyyy minimap

[jagged crater]

now do i aim better? questionable! xD

[toxic yacht]

I was kinda miffed when I found out that overwatch lacked one

[jagged crater]

minimap in-game or spectator?

[toxic yacht]

spectators

Also in-game to some degree since I was super used to it, but OW maps are basically extremely simple corridors, so I stopped giving a shit

[balmy wolf]

hyped for the minimap and i really hope it's possible to draw on it

[dusty surge]

Draw on?

[balmy wolf]

sadly people will draw some d**ks while bored haha

[dusty surge]

It's going to be spectators only, and only in custom games.

[balmy wolf]

http://static.hltv.org/images/galleries/1693-medium/1350957877.684.jpeg

i know

[dusty surge]

That's overlay stuff

(maybe)

[balmy wolf]

2 years since last csgo match

[dusty surge]

I would expect Blizzard to not include that initially.

[balmy wolf]

so dunno

im pretty sure dota has it

and people draw dicks lmao

wait, under the map there's [SPACE] clear drawing

so it's into the game

[ENTER] to change color (?)

[dusty surge]

Huh

[balmy wolf]

and abilities cd, health, ulti status left and right would be better

and team color!!!!!

ffs

[limber pine]

as a gameplay or spectator experience?

[balmy wolf]

you mean the team color?

or the abilities, health and ulti?

anyway, both for spectator experience 😃

sometimes im like "who's attacking? before was red, then blue, then blue, then red..." pretty paintfull

and the health, abilities cd, ulti % left and right like csgo will add a lot of more infos like

sometimes i wondering why <player> didn't flash, for example tracer

he was in cd or he was generally stupid?

how much % of rein shield is up? how much damage needed to destroy it?

"oh, rein shield health is 200. pretty sure enemy rein will earthshatter"

just a few examples.. ^-^

[toxic yacht]

tbh from a player perspective, I'd love individual player colours like in csgo

or actually, give everyone support view

rn they are basically forcing commmunication

and make everything more clunky and add unnecessarly hurdles for no reason

same with your inability to see the ult meter of all of your teammates

like, if you could just press tab and check, or have display for all of your teammates hp + ult like in spectator view it'd make shit so much easier

you'd save much more time, but nah, they need to force communication and make everything take 10 steps for no logical reason

[balmy wolf]

that's stupid tbh

they were like "we dont wanna force people into team voice chat"

then they add this bs

[grizzled basin]

hi evryones fav team? mine is team envy

[balmy wolf]

EU

[sour wraith]

NRG

[solid spear]

TSM

[balmy wolf]

w>

[toxic yacht]

NRG

https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/5unh0v/alienware_monthly_melee_full_teamlist_for_this/?st=izac30yx&sh=98dddc3d

https://i.imgur.com/lte085n.png

NRG declined the invitation, just as I expected

This AMM is gonna be so hype though

[balmy wolf]

Rogue

[vestal mortar]

I am getting so excited!
Pity no NRG yet, I'll try be patient for their final roster decisions.

[balmy wolf]

my fav team was rogue, then they start wondering to put my boy knoxx on reinhard then i change

sooo... atm... misfits

from na hammer

and kr lunatic hai

[pine star]

Here we go bois

[balmy wolf]

did the meele start yet?

i cant use twitch rn

IT'S NOW?

[toxic yacht]

somewhere this month

end, probably

we don't know exactly when yet though

[balmy wolf]

omg don't scare me like that

[toxic yacht]

kek

[balmy wolf]

They said it'll probably the last week of Fe

b

[vestal mortar]

25th and 26th I believe

[toxic yacht]

29th and 30th

[balmy wolf]

ok

cause the other guy said lets go bois

so i though the stream started

[vestal mortar]

🤔

[toxic yacht]

oh, nah, he was just getting hyped

if it were playing

this place would be much more active

[balmy wolf]

The lack of matches trigger me

[toxic yacht]

also, tera, your avatar looks like a cartoon version of your previous avatar

is it one?

[vestal mortar]

Yes it is

[toxic yacht]

what is it anyway?

[vestal mortar]

It's me

[toxic yacht]

oi, did you draw it?

or some dude you know?

[vestal mortar]

I have been watching so many pro stream VODs to feed my desire for more matches

I did it 😛

[toxic yacht]

I like the shading

[limber pine]

Carbon series starts next week too

Should be fun

[toxic yacht]

and yeah, I've been rewatching ESL

to feed my desire

since ESL was the best OW tourney imo

[balmy wolf]

Esl is so viewbotted...

[toxic yacht]

you mean the reruns?

lmao

yeah

[balmy wolf]

Yeah

[toxic yacht]

I just go to the youtube channel and pick out videos from the atlantic showdown

[balmy wolf]

Atlantic Showdown was the best indeed

2nd world cup, just because was big

Final was a stomp

Not funny tho

[toxic yacht]

final was basically envyus vs faze

and shadowburn was on both

[vestal mortar]

Oh yeah, I will need to set reminders for all the matches. But perhaps they'll be pretty late at night for me.

[toxic yacht]

in a bo7

not funny, lol

it hurt to watch

[vestal mortar]

Also, thank you! 😄

[balmy wolf]

7 is too much imo

[toxic yacht]

try using the gosugamers liveticker

it's how I know when matches start

[balmy wolf]

Eleague CSGO had bo3

[toxic yacht]

admittedly, a single round of CS is, like, 2 rounds of OW

[balmy wolf]

Yeah

[toxic yacht]

a single map

sorry

[vestal mortar]

Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder! I've been meaning to download that.

[balmy wolf]

Since there's no good ow stream, gonna watch hots :/

[toxic yacht]

:/

linkzr is streaming rn

I guess

[balmy wolf]

Also grego and snow

Small streamers streaming are always the best

snow is so underrated

Wish i wasn't studying and was unemployed

Otherwise i would apply to snow team

But... Im not murican :(

Misfits 7 win 0 lost in hots, like in overwatch...

[clever wagon]

No NRG 😦

Figures though

But we still got Hammers & Immortals

[toxic yacht]

TIL that Dante and Agilities used to be competitive Minecraft players

🤔

@vestal mortar Ireland, right? They'll be late night for you. An hour earlier than for me, but it should be at something like 22

[vestal mortar]

Yep! That's not too bad then. 😄

[iron cedar]

https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20753268446#post-3

[balmy wolf]

a mini-map in overwatch would crowd the ui

its already on the fringe

and since map sense is such an important thing it would ruin it to put just a map of everything

[iron cedar]

did you read the blue post?

[balmy wolf]

no

[iron cedar]

"We do plan to add a spectator map for a better esports viewing experience. But philosophically we were opposed to adding a minimap to the HUD for gameplay reasons."-Jeff Kaplan

[balmy wolf]

ok yeah

[balmy wolf]

I have ascended from the 1900s

Also if the minimap turns out to be unhandy the spectators can just disable it

[balmy wolf]

http://carbon.gg/ocs/schedule

The AMM is on the last weekend this month btw

Which is the 25th and 26th

[toxic yacht]

Thank mr polo

[balmy wolf]

HYPE

WAIT OMG ZP IS CASTING THAT

I'm just interested to see the new coL roster

ZP and Hex

I was thinking it was gonna be NGE all over again but now I'm hype

the classic duo

^^^^^^^

No uber though

The holy pair of OW casting

[toxic yacht]

NGE had the classic trio

[balmy wolf]

...

At least the memes were good

Just seeing NGE makes me triggered

[toxic yacht]

I especially loved the middle guy

[balmy wolf]

Because it reminds me of NGCEO

[toxic yacht]

Kek

[balmy wolf]

also Hammers

We'll see if they really are a tier 2 NA team

[toxic yacht]

At this stage NA has, like, what, one tier 1 team?

[balmy wolf]

nV

Rogue

[toxic yacht]

Hopefully rogue will turn out to be not shit

[forest raven]

Soon to be Misfits.

[balmy wolf]

Wait what

NA has like 5 tier 1 teams

??

[toxic yacht]

Nah, that's not really how tiers work

I also figured that out recently

Turns out that c9 and fnatic are tier 2

[balmy wolf]

Yeah

Tier 1 is a team that can beat nearly any team in the world except for other tier 1 teams imo

Then tier 2 beats most but almost always loses to tier 1 teams

Like C9

[toxic yacht]

Basically, atm no team in NA has proven to be competitive with NV

[balmy wolf]

^

[forest raven]

I'd like to see Misfits go against nV, because we know they're going to be NA soon in the future.

[balmy wolf]

That's too bad because they're basically out of APEX lol

[toxic yacht]

Half of misfits were all on teams that beat nv

[forest raven]

nV 1.0, mind. :P

[toxic yacht]

They know how victory tastes, lul

[balmy wolf]

Gosu's rankings are always fun to look at

[toxic yacht]

I don't care about gosu rankings, lol

[balmy wolf]

They used to be good...

I remember when C9 was on top for so long because they dominated in the beta

[toxic yacht]

Remember how nV was nr 1 during the period where they were nr 3 at best?

[balmy wolf]

Like atm

IMT is #2 in the World

[toxic yacht]

Like, gosu weighs old games too much

[balmy wolf]

[toxic yacht]

Wut, imt is 2?

Lmao

[balmy wolf]

NiP is still 3rd

Because they won NGE

[toxic yacht]

It's only because EU had no games

[balmy wolf]

After having played in like nothing

Up till the Assembly Winter

[toxic yacht]

They actually vanished from gosu

Until Assembly

[balmy wolf]

There's no doubt that IMT is a good team

and that they've been winning a lot lately

But they're not 5 places above LH good

lol

[toxic yacht]

They'd get rekt by exReu

Tbh

Sorry,"eUnited"

[balmy wolf]

EU

from NA

[forest raven]

The next AMM will make things a bit more clear for all of us. :)

[balmy wolf]

Okay but why the hell are is the Carbon tourney during weekdays?

[vestal mortar]

Yeah, I can't stay up late to watch the Carbon Series during the week

[balmy wolf]

Also @balmy wolf I'd say Hammers is already a Tier 2 team

[balmy wolf]

recently???? c9 and fnatic never was tier 1 @toxic yacht c9 is so overrated... like the old NRG

[toxic yacht]

I mostly meant that I recently found out how tiers work

[balmy wolf]

honestly... until OWL there aren't any tier because team are too split, too much NA team, EU scene dead

we thought NV would stomp rogue at atlantic

but we know what happened

I never thought that tbh

I always thought the top 3 EU teams would destroy Envy

and i hope some EU or NA team will destroy envy tbh

i dislike team that win too much xP

75% envy wont win APEX

I just dislike that Envy was NA

With an almost full european roster

and now they have literally no north american players

you should dislike a lot of team now

:c

I only hate Taimou

[toxic yacht]

Man, you act like he killed your parents

And sodomised your dog

Lol

[balmy wolf]

Really?

To my knowledge, I've only ever really said "I hate him" and "He's toxic"

That isn't how I thought someone would react to the murderer of their parents lol

[toxic yacht]

I was just exaggerating

[balmy wolf]

Usually when someone says that it actually kind of makes sense

When someone shows a lot of hate for someone

for very little done

Taimou is still a kid

AuTSM would kick him instantly

Problem is, that he's good so w/e he do and say its "ok"

For envy

After Thighmou

TSM would have kicked him

100%

TSM kick for retarded reason

[toxic yacht]

TSM kick coL for the TJOs but keep BabyBay

[balmy wolf]

No

They said no to babybay

^

They didn't take Babybay or mykL

[toxic yacht]

Ah, good

Lul

[balmy wolf]

They took b1am, ajax and connorJ

But you know

Ajax made a tweet and deleted it not an hour after

[toxic yacht]

NGCEO

[balmy wolf]

but it got screenshotted

and kept

for months

Mykl for the same reason of babybay, but im pretty sure mykl didn't cheat

just so he could be kicked

[toxic yacht]

Tbh if I were b1am and connorJ I'd just leave

[balmy wolf]

fuck ngceo

They both hacked in previous games @Miuki#0008

I believe it was csgo for both of them

NGCEO is better that leave the overwatch scene

Im sure for babybay, not for mykl

[toxic yacht]

BabyBay was literally anti-cheat banned on stream

In a tournament

[balmy wolf]

Esea

He had an edgy name i forgot atm

Flex?

[toxic yacht]

Yeah, flex

[balmy wolf]

Anyway i wouldn't left

But im sure i was looking for someone else meanwhile

http://www.pcgamer.com/csgo-player-flex-banned-during-esea-league-livestream/

Because what happened to ajax, can happen to conorj and b1am too

Well it could

But probably not

Because TSM is shit for background checks lol

Is shit generally

CSGO PEA drama was hilarious

Yeah they're just a shit org in general

Both team, players and PEA were ridiculous

The real question is

Who's better? TSM or NGCEO? :^)

TSM

You mean NGCEO right?

Yes

Yeah then, TSM for sure

Im pretty sure #PrayForMisfits would disagree hahaha

/s

I'm pretty sure sojum hates NGCEO too

I know haha

Really... Who likes NGCEO?

Did he have atleast one team in any game?

[dim nexus]

Anyone watch the premier league?

[balmy wolf]

NGCEO is Northern Gaming's CEO @Miuki#0008

[idle raven]

ng is fucking gone

from what i heard they have barely any funding and their org handlers suck

[balmy wolf]

Northern Gaming has teams in plenty of games

[idle raven]

ya but they suck

[balmy wolf]

Okay?

looks like their rocket league team is pretty good

but rocket league esport LUL

[idle raven]

their rocket league team with remkoe the other guy and the third guy

was okay

remkoe was bae

good surfer in css too

[balmy wolf]

just saw the rlcs and i saw them in semis

i dont like rocket league that much tbh

lucio ball>rocket league

[balmy wolf]

NRG PICKED UP IDDQD

HELL YEAH

[jovial eagle]

[clever wagon]

Tfw misfits is playing ranked CSGO

Better do their best securing the match with LH

[balmy wolf]

Training too much isn't healthy

After 6/8 h of scrimming i would kms

[thin arrow]

Just got rank 2016

Sheesh

[toxic yacht]

@clever wagon nier is nice and all, but you're cotton candy, right?

[clever wagon]

Yes I am

Lol

@thin arrow getting <current year> SR in <current year> amirite

[balmy wolf]

No EU in the AMM, damn

Guess I'll root for Faze then

How about everyone else?

[toxic yacht]

Rogue

They are still EU in my heart 🙃

And they were one of my favourite teams back when TviQ and Reinforce were part of it

After that then probably IMT

FaZe is a weird case, I actually became a fan because of ShaDowBurn, but I kinda ended up liking them less after TwoEasy left

Came for SDB, stayed for TwoEasy, I guess

[balmy wolf]

Same, I don't like them as much anymore

but I might as well stay loyal since I don't care too much about the other teams and Shadowburn is exciting to watch

IMT...

I've watched them play so much I want to see some different teams

btw http://www.gosugamers.net/overwatch/news/43317-check-out-the-teams-for-efrag-s-enter-the-arena-overwatch

Hammers beat Chavs 2-0 apparently

[balmy wolf]

I just wanna see how Mikeya will do

[toxic yacht]

We will see whether he's actually shit or just had a few bad days

[balmy wolf]

Also excited to see how nico fits into Rogue

[balmy wolf]

Go hammer!

[toxic yacht]

Hammers beat chavs who played with 200 ping

remember, c9 and nV consistently beat Rogue before ESL

[balmy wolf]

They played Rogue before the Atlantic Showdown?

[toxic yacht]

yee

[balmy wolf]

wut

When?

[toxic yacht]

BEAT Invitational and Operation Breakout
http://i.imgur.com/KBr4fuN.png

[balmy wolf]

Had no idea

Rogue was just behind until then yeah

[quasi python]

[balmy wolf]

also mangachu was like #9

and now he's back at #2

[toxic yacht]

also, evermore is fucking abusing his nr 1 spot by playing 1 game a week

and playing everything else on his smurf "Evermore"

so that he keeps 5000 SR forever

lol

after 6 stacking his way during off hours

[balmy wolf]

Why is the music louder than their voices lol

oh

Yeah

but what do you expect?

A perfect score is pretty much impossible to get and keep any way else

Oh no

He's playing

Juvenile...

Wish in an hard reset in s4

I think Blizz already said they wouldn't do that

Mangachu just emoted

It's over

[balmy wolf]

That shatter hitbox omg

[thin elk]

So placements won't do anything anymore? @balmy wolf

Like, what's the point in even having them if you're just gonna be placed in the same rank as last season?

Unless you're totally new

[balmy wolf]

Probably that reason

[thin elk]

So the placement matches are supposed to be pointless if you had a pre-existing rank

[balmy wolf]

Something like that

I don't think they matter at all

[thin elk]

Might as well just add an option to skip it then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[balmy wolf]

I won like 7 of my placement matches and I ended S2 as 2400 plat but I got placed around 2000

Yeah idk

Maybe there won't be any this season

Blizz said they were looking to make some adjustments again

Also apparently the KO round of APEX does use seeding

so wtf

[balmy wolf]

The gf is about to start >_>

[clever wagon]

I'm all Gankyou, Cotton Candy, and this

Lol

@toxic yacht @balmy wolf

And no, not clones, I change names

I say you change names a lot Sojum but I'm actually a filthy hypocrite 😄 😄

[balmy wolf]

wait

can you cap your sr?

like is there a limit to how high a rank you can have?

[stark plinth]

5000

evermore got there like a week into the season

[balmy wolf]

@clever wagon if I was one of Gankyou's clones, that's what I would say too >_>

[clever wagon]

Boosted

[balmy wolf]

I'm disgusted

Is anyone else watching?

http://prntscr.com/eawkx8

[stark plinth]

this match

is

so

bad

[balmy wolf]

It's mostly a tier 3 tournament so you can't expect too much

Though Hammers were disappointing

but if you think back to second half of NGE RNG

shiver

[clever wagon]

Not even watching

What is this

[balmy wolf]

Yeah this

https://www.twitch.tv/efragtv

RNG is looking like second half of NGE RNG indeed

They were held for like 4 minutes at the spawn on Route 66

aaaaand it's over

[iron cedar]

whats wrong?

[pseudo sail]

Hey folks, wrote a short piece about the hype and udnerestimation surrounding the Afreeca Freecs squads. As always feedback is welcome and appreciated be it here/reddit/twitter or w/e.

Investigating the Afreecas mirage
http://www.esportsheaven.com/articles/view/5952/investigating-the-afreecas-mirage

[clever wagon]

Interesting article, even though I didn't know much of AF before APEX S2

From their APEX S2 matches alone Red seemed better even though they ended up losing all the time

Blue on the other hand, I'm probably only looking at ArHaN's meh plays against Uncia

[obsidian zenith]

Any teams needing client work DM me

[toxic yacht]

I thought that cotton candy was just some magical new guy, lmao

usually I check the username if I think that someone just changed his nick

but since that doesn't work with you...

good to know that you sill live though!

[balmy wolf]

Yeah, try and keep 1 username

and just change your nick

[slim basalt]

are there any current world rankings?

[balmy wolf]

Yeah but they're not very accurate

[slim basalt]

can you link them?

[crude juniper]

are you wanting team rankings or player rankings?

[balmy wolf]

Team rankings

http://www.gosugamers.net/overwatch/rankings @slim basalt

[crude juniper]

id take that with a grain of salt, just saying

[balmy wolf]

Oh really?

I had no idea

Its not like someone just said that

[crude juniper]

wasnt talking to you

but you can keep that attitude if you want

[vestal mortar]

_>

[balmy wolf]

Same thing applies

Someone literally just said that

[toxic yacht]

pls, Polo's attitude is qt

[slim basalt]

@pobro thx

[balmy wolf]

np

[clever wagon]

[toxic yacht]

Soe > Seltzer because bobs

[toxic yacht]

Soe has better bobs

[balmy wolf]

[toxic yacht]

her bobs are stronk

her face is also more stronk

[balmy wolf]

fite this

[balmy wolf]

How can one have such perfect skin??

But

where did this come from

[toxic yacht]

It was a thought experiment

A realisation

[quartz wren]

at least you didn't date her, dump her, and then regret that for months (or years?) afterwards

like 2gd did

[balmy wolf]

boobs? where

anyway soe >x oo seltzer

soe is unbeatable

seltzer is snobbish

tattoos on soe is a +1

Seltzer has better tits

tits aren't eveything

i would choose soe over seltzer

everyday

Seltzer probably has a better ass too

So I'd go with her

even though she's really annoying

[vestal mortar]

<_<

[balmy wolf]

Seltzer is so hyper, it makes my head hurt

i would say annoying af

[toxic yacht]

Soe is adorable af too

like, she cannot pronounce welcome

[balmy wolf]

I'll stick to D.Va as my OW waifu though >_>

i would cuddle her 24/7

No one can compete with her

[solid spear]

._.

[toxic yacht]

But yeah, seltzer is the better host imo

when it comes to interviewing soe is also good

[balmy wolf]

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

tracer cosplay > no cosplay

[toxic yacht]

the tracer cosplay was the best

[jovial eagle]

who's soe

[balmy wolf]

Soembie

She is a host

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/overwatch/Soembie

[jovial eagle]

oh

[toxic yacht]

soe gschwind penski, that one really hot host/interviewer

from EU events

[clever wagon]

Who even

[toxic yacht]

I mean, I posted 3 images

[clever wagon]

I'm as lost as a baby in a bar

[toxic yacht]

anyway, you probably aren't familiar with her since you only got into eSports recently

she was at agents rising, ESL and Dreamhack Winter

[clever wagon]

Nope

[toxic yacht]

:(

she's hot

she's a good host

[clever wagon]

Purrty

Will they change the schedule once we get into the playoffs

APEX that is

[toxic yacht]

iirc matches were on saturday last season

I forgot

grand finals were on saturday

can't remember the rest

[clever wagon]

They should've packed the group phase's schedule instead tbh

Since we would only have 8 teams in playoffs they could then shift to a less packed schedule instead

[toxic yacht]

remember world cup literally happened between apex

[clever wagon]

...

Ya just realized

[balmy wolf]

she works for blizzard now

esport section in france

[toxic yacht]

miuki knows

[balmy wolf]

😉

[clever wagon]

HMmm

Friday APEX matches

C9 will probably get destroyed by Uncia

[toxic yacht]

"probably"

the memes won't save them this time

[vestal mortar]

clown9 😭

[balmy wolf]

🤡 9⃣

[toxic yacht]

Look, at least Misfits has a chance to beat Lunatic Hai

whether they 3-0 or 3-1 them is a different story

clown 9 is ded though

[balmy wolf]

There's gonna be a S3 of Apex right?

[toxic yacht]

probably

[balmy wolf]

So with Misfits and Rogue being NA

Who will the EU invites be?

[toxic yacht]

Dignitas /s

[balmy wolf]

Reu and NiP?

[toxic yacht]

Reu is NA

[balmy wolf]

[toxic yacht]

eUnited

[balmy wolf]

Oh yeah

Forgot about that

[solid spear]

Bench Boys

[balmy wolf]

BB and NiP seem like the only ones able to compete in Apex at all

[toxic yacht]

I wonder if NiP would still lose to Fnatic

they lost vs them back during Dreamhack

admittedly, they played like retards a few times

but that's par for the course with NiP

[clever wagon]

Well

I meant a defeat anyway

Whether it's a good fight or complete destruction, is what I was wondering

[toxic yacht]

Complete destruction

KD U will wipe their asses with our poor meme team

[limber pine]

[balmy wolf]

its too early to judge BB as a team ready to compete in apex lol

greyy is pretty unknown

hal mained zarya, forced moving on lucio

twoeasy is not a tier 1 dps

strong part of the team, imo, is winghaven and kryw

kyb depends... good as genji, dunno for other

Kyb is the strongest part of the team imo

[toxic yacht]

Kyb is also a good reaper

Not sure about the rest though

[balmy wolf]

100% next invite is for immortals

[toxic yacht]

He played a relatively good Hanzo during ESL

[balmy wolf]

still envy and still misfits

[toxic yacht]

I expect NRG tbh

[balmy wolf]

yeah

[toxic yacht]

iirc they declined this season's invite

[balmy wolf]

lots of seagulò fanboy

[toxic yacht]

Asians love Seagull

[balmy wolf]

and kruise too

so maybe eunited and nrg

[toxic yacht]

He's in korea atm anyway

[balmy wolf]

yeah

[toxic yacht]

But yeah, eUnited and NRG wouldn't really surprise me

[balmy wolf]

im pretty sure c9 and fnatic not anymore

[toxic yacht]

Kek

[balmy wolf]

honestly they had to stay playing NGE lmao

NOT NGCEO

[toxic yacht]

They also love c9, but they sucked vs kr teams

[balmy wolf]

if they stayed, atleast they would win NGE

[toxic yacht]

Yeah, NGE would have suited them more, lol

Rek those tier 3 teams

[balmy wolf]

who knows 😃

maybe immortals would rekt them

[toxic yacht]

IMT may have beaten them though

They did it once

[balmy wolf]

we will know the next since they wont get invited anymore lol

[toxic yacht]

Lmao

The roster seriously needs a coach

This can't go on anymore

They have so much individual skill

But are fucking useless as a team rn

[balmy wolf]

kyky hehe : )

[toxic yacht]

Kek

He went to nV

Their old rivals

[balmy wolf]

i smell drama

If they stayed at NGE it would have gone down so differently

Like

C7, the weakest team in NGE

Replaced C9

I just feel bad for other teams that didnt get through

and then they hear C7 and FaZe get in

Because C9 and Fnatic went to Korea

[toxic yacht]

Can we also get a joke name for FaZe?

Clown9 is nice and all, but other teams are also very deserving of this type of mockery

[balmy wolf]

FaZe Clown

[toxic yacht]

Kek

[balmy wolf]

Not Really Good is my favourite

[toxic yacht]

Like, Citizen 0-7, Clown9

Not really good, lmao

[balmy wolf]

What is that joke

the 0-7 one

[toxic yacht]

NRG

They went 0-7 for most of NGE

[balmy wolf]

Oh right

[toxic yacht]

iirc they then beat FaZe clown

Got 2 wins or some shit

[balmy wolf]

Nope

C7 lost all their games

[toxic yacht]

Lmao

I just checked

Not a single win

Truly Citizen 0-7

[balmy wolf]

they won some in qualifier

selfless, method, rise

which aren't totally shit teams

uff... i want overwatch league to happen now!... 😭

[toxic yacht]

Wow, Rise Nation literally lost vs Citizen 0-7

And they wonder why they never get invited

OW League would be nice, yeah

The only thing I fear is what will happen to EU after that

It's like the final nail in the coffin

[balmy wolf]

plot twist, overwatch league will happen only in EU and people have to move

[toxic yacht]

kek

Blizzard trolled everyone

[balmy wolf]

anyway, they didn't stated would be na only

my bet

is online game with ping difference :^)

or dunno... pay flight each week?

like Helsinki NiP vs Detroit Renegades

someone will take a plane and move

really... dunno

There's something planned for EU

good that they are waiting an additional year to add more spectator features, like the minimap, permanent healthbar etc...

but the lack of info are killing us

ik, kaplan said something about it

ESL One Overwatch

[balmy wolf]

https://twitter.com/EnVy_Taimou/status/832600329992577024

inb4 taimou can't hit shit anymore and lose APEX

[dusty surge]

Ugh

1600/3 felt too much like mud. How the hell do you even run 800/2.75?

[sour wraith]

ryujehong plays on 1600/1.05-1.19(depending on character)

[balmy wolf]

because pixel skip

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcjfPKftJBQ

[dusty surge]

Pixel skip? If they were worried about that, they wouldn't use any sensitivity that gives a total movement value that isn't a ratio of their resolution.

[toxic yacht]

lol, 2.5

how the fuck do you even play with that?

sorry, 2,75

how will he play genji now?

apparently 2,5 was too low, so he upped it to 2,75

now genji is fine, apparently

I'd die with 2,75 genji

[sour wraith]

prob adjust them based on character

like l will change my winston sens to 12 or 15

though i use 800/10 or 800/8

[balmy wolf]

and im here sitting with 500 dpi 11 sens

[toxic yacht]

I'm sitting here struggling with 800 7

[dusty surge]

I had to start increasing my sensitivity again

Not being able to 180 reliably to hit Genjis and Tracers got too troublesome.

Up to 1600/3.25 at the moment. Maybe 3.15. I don't recall.

[clever wagon]

1600/2.1

3200/1.5 previously

[steep venture]

I use a controller

[balmy wolf]

Faze Can't

WeeUnited

Also I think the entire EU roster is going on a bootcamp to KR so they're pretty obviously contenders for an APEX spot next season

Especially since they already got an invite once

[balmy wolf]

What are your bets for carbon?

IMT - Col

LG - RNG

and APEX AFBlue and KD Pantera

looks like matches will be stomps this day

[balmy wolf]

LG - RNG can be close

Yesterday played absolutely terribly yesterday

Fair enough. Could be the closest one.

Can't wait to see new col trials

[balmy wolf]

Is Harbleu still on the team or nah?

[stark plinth]

you guys are all talking 800/5

and i'm running 1600/7.28

lol

[vestal mortar]

Nah, Harb isn't on the team anymore afaik

[balmy wolf]

I see

I just wish the matches would be earlier

These times are NOT EU friendly

[drowsy sparrow]

is OGN APEX affiliated with the future Overwatch League? I didn't even know there was OW esports until last week

[balmy wolf]

No one knows anything about the OWL yet but APEX is affiliated with Blizzard I think

Most big OW tourneys are

[vestal mortar]

Yeah I am not staying awake for the Carbon series, I'll watch the VODs in the morning

Oh wait, APEX in the morning

I'll find time tomorrow 😛

[balmy wolf]

No tournaments except the World Cup are affiliated with Blizzard @balmy wolf

Blizzard hasn't supported any tournaments since the World Cup

[drowsy sparrow]

@balmy wolf thanks!

[balmy wolf]

So no, OGN is not affiliated with Blizzard or the OWL in any way @drowsy sparrow

[flat jewel]

Is 1200/7.25 for most of the cast a little high, low, or normal?

for genji i have it set to 1200/10

[balmy wolf]

That would be high

[flat jewel]

okay

thanks

wanted something cleared up for one of my mates

[balmy wolf]

"The Overwatch® Carbon Series is a competitive, five-week tournament featuring Blizzard Entertainment’s team-based shooter, Overwatch. Since the game’s debut, players and spectators alike have enjoyed a new pinnacle of team-based shooter competition, and Carbon Entertainment is excited to team up with Blizzard Entertainment to provide spectators with a thrilling Overwatch event."

@balmy wolf

but it's true they haven't organised an event since the World Cup

not directly

"Excited to team up" is very vague

And there's nothing else listed about Blizzard's involvement

It's obvious they're involved to some degree at least

¯_(ツ)_/¯
