esports-discussion

[digital pond]

Yeah but I mean that's always slightly out of their hands.

[pine star]

Exactly

[digital pond]

I'm mainly waiting for OWL because once it does come out that will bring investors and orgs out of the woodwork.

[pine star]

Yes

[digital pond]

No one not in already, wants to do anything right now in the meantime.

[pine star]

So many big orgs waiting for OWLs

[digital pond]

At the risk of giving up players etc etc

[pine star]

And even sports teams

[digital pond]

Ya

[pine star]

Yeah but

[digital pond]

Lot of Sport players and team owners are interested.

[pine star]

Those waiting have big pockets

They can just go market shopping players through orgs

[digital pond]

They can, but they can also prep their org and just wait it out.

Having money doesn't mean throwing it to the wind either.

So most are just gonna be patient.

[pine star]

Yeah well

I just hope they release more OWL details

[digital pond]

The thing is a lot of "teams" not supported by orgs and such do exist and are scrimming and such.

So I'm sure future investors are informed and keeping up with it already and scouting.

[pine star]

I don't think their going to wait until fucking august to release all the details about the League

[digital pond]

And Org owners already involved probably want more orgs to join in.

And are sharing information with them.

[pine star]

Probably

[digital pond]

I thought it was September, it's what Jake said.

[pine star]

We plebs are the ones that don't know shit yet

[digital pond]

Probably ya.

[pine star]

Yeah

What I'm saying is that I don't think they're going to wait until august to release details with the league coming the month after

[digital pond]

Maybe to us.

[pine star]

I hope not

[digital pond]

I think they'll feed info to the investors way earlier.

Probably already started to.

Since the one thing slowing them was mainly contracts and legal papers.

[pine star]

They have to start a marketing campaign for the league a couple months before the league happens I reckon

[digital pond]

The structure probably has been figure out in general.

[pine star]

We're after all the main consumer for it

[digital pond]

Troo

I think they will, isn't there something else aside from PAX between now and September?

[pine star]

E3

[digital pond]

They might even use Comic con in addition to E3 too.

NY comic con*

[pine star]

I don't think so

I mean

[digital pond]

I don't mean like a full force pannel.

[pine star]

They probably will have stands and events and stuff, but I don't think they start campaigning on it

[digital pond]

With tons of cosplayers a la dragon con

[pine star]

Oh well, yeah

I just hope they put a replay feature for the matches

And cosmetics

I want esports cosmetics.

[digital pond]

I think they need to with OWL

[pine star]

Make it so Blizzard.

[digital pond]

Frankly if they wanna add a viewing system and do it well they need to make it similar to Dota 2.

[pine star]

From what Nate said

[digital pond]

It's been my best experience with footage and tournaments.

By FAR.

[pine star]

We'll probably get much of that stuff for OWL

[digital pond]

I hope so the way Valve set it up is really better than most games with a viewing system.

Not saying replay because it has just so much more as far as tournaments go.

[pine star]

Casters have been asking Blizzard for replays since beta

They're considering at the very least

If not developing rn

[digital pond]

I'm surprised Tournament Realm is so limited that stuff like OMM have to use custom rooms on live.

Wait no scratch that.

I do think they're working on it along side OWL.

[pine star]

Did any tournament even use Tournament Realm besides World Cup and Apex?

[digital pond]

Not that I know.

[pine star]

Well

We'll just have to wait I guess

[digital pond]

Wait and team the Hype

[pine star]

please don't suck

@digital pond btw, are you just someone who changed their name? Or new? You suddenly popped up an became mega productive

[pine star]

Let's make a directory of active peeps for Sojum

[toxic yacht]

I like knowing whom I talk to on a regular basis :P

[pine star]

Am I on the directory?

[toxic yacht]

Yee

[digital pond]

I haven't changed my name recently, I joined the discord very recently that might be why 😄

[pine star]

[toxic yacht]

Ahh, okay

Nice avatar btw

[pine star]

[digital pond]

Thanks 😄

[toxic yacht]

Lmao

[digital pond]

Artist who made it is really good.

[pine star]

Not you Anem, you're good

Oh wait

I thought it was from an anime and Sojum recognized it because of his weebness

[digital pond]

[pine star]

lmao

https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/840308489494831104

Whoever is in charge of OW social media is an actual savage

[digital pond]

I feel like the burn would be more impactful if it wasn't answering to a mechanic they caused to be too good to not use lmao.

[pine star]

I know

his response to that is actually really true

But still lol

[balmy wolf]

If im not mistaken its Griff

[digital pond]

At least he's taking it lightly.

Since his job is probably NOT balancing.

[pine star]

Yeah

His job is roasting people across all social media platforms OW has presence on

[digital pond]

He studied under the Wendy's Twitter handler.

[pine star]

lmfao

I want to drink whatever Grego puts on his hair.

[digital pond]

Wat.

[toxic yacht]

wut

[pine star]

I already saw that Sojum

No point deleting it

[toxic yacht]

👀

[clever wagon]

Hot steamy news, or am I late https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/5yp0xq/zebbosai_from_misfits_is_doing_his_first_stream/

Misfits figured it out!!!!!!

[digital pond]

TviQ been streaming a lot these past 2 weeks,.

[toxic yacht]

wait

I was completely right

[clever wagon]

But wait

Does this mean single tank comps?

[toxic yacht]

now the only question

is zebbo or zave on lucio?

[clever wagon]

Oh wait

[pine star]

Zave

[toxic yacht]

well, almost completely right

fuck

[clever wagon]

Ah fuck

I left Reinforce out

Shit

[toxic yacht]

lol

reinforce is their rein kid

[pine star]

I mean,TviQ's tweet pretty much confirms Zebbo will Ana

[digital pond]

So wait is Zebbo replacing Nevix?

[clever wagon]

Zebbo got them aims

[toxic yacht]

don't forget him

zebbo was a lucio player originally

[digital pond]

Or did he already replace him and I'm late.

[toxic yacht]

nevix was a support player

[balmy wolf]

Zebbo is ana

[digital pond]

Yeah I remembered him facing LH with Misfit in APEX.

[toxic yacht]

although he went dps on misfits for a while some time back

[balmy wolf]

Zave is Lucio

[toxic yacht]

when he went dps

[clever wagon]

Zebbo is liveeee

[toxic yacht]

misfits won 2 majors

[digital pond]

In Mid Feb

[clever wagon]

Drop in on his stream!

[digital pond]

So I guess Nevix been gone for a bit.

[toxic yacht]

I'M watching tviq's stream

[balmy wolf]

Zave has always played Lucio

[pine star]

WHY TF DOESN'T HE TWEET IT WHEN HE'S GOING LIVE FFS

[balmy wolf]

And with the amount of Widow Zebbo has been playing recently id say its safe to say hes ana

Also the tweet of him wearing the tal mask

[toxic yacht]

@digital pond nah, they're just swapping roles

Nevix is going dps

where he's better anyway imo

[clever wagon]

https://puu.sh/uDhZr/1f48d5f6bb.png

[toxic yacht]

and zebbo is taking his role

[pine star]

Nevix' Mercy

[digital pond]

Gotcha. I see Zebbo was playing Zarya and such.

[toxic yacht]

so their swapping spots

zebbo was a lucio back on old misfits

[balmy wolf]

Yeah but Zave has only played Lucio

[toxic yacht]

then tviq went dps and my eyes opened

[pine star]

Yeah

[toxic yacht]

was super disappointed to see him go support

[clever wagon]

Oh they're duo-ing

[toxic yacht]

anyway, tviq + nevix dps duo

looks like the scariest shit ever

[clever wagon]

I didn't see TviQ in Zebbo's sights yet

[pine star]

That's a yes

[toxic yacht]

have a potential to become the strongest dps tag team in ow

[digital pond]

Never seen Nevix play DPS so I can't comment.

[toxic yacht]

I for one, am fucking hyped

[digital pond]

Hyped to see it tho.

[pine star]

WE NEED A LAN ASAP

[toxic yacht]

nevix was insane back when he was dps

[digital pond]

What team did he play on?

[toxic yacht]

he was dps during dreamhack and the ow open

misfits

before the three way trade

[digital pond]

Gotcha

[toxic yacht]

and they completely reshuffled their roster

[digital pond]

Yeah the exchange with Rogue and such.

[toxic yacht]

yee

[clever wagon]

They also confirmed moving to NA

[toxic yacht]

:/

[pine star]

^

RIP EU

[clever wagon]

https://clips.twitch.tv/CredulousEagerSwanFailFish

[digital pond]

I mean to be fair a lot of the tournaments orgs are mainly hosting in NA.

[balmy wolf]

oh wow what a surprise

[digital pond]

And Teams aren't gonna move to EU to scrim.

On that note, IddQ needs to move to NA soon.

And Numlocked.

130 ping scrims are probably hella annoying.

[pine star]

They probably will

[balmy wolf]

They will move when the roster is finalized

[pine star]

With that ping on scrims IDDQD is probably a top tier Pharah by now

[toxic yacht]

iddqd has confirmed that they're moving

they're going to a friend house

[digital pond]

Yeah I mean I know they are.

I just wish it would be soon.

[toxic yacht]

well, friend apartments

[pine star]

SoOn TM

[digital pond]

Sooner they move sooner we get to see them play.

[toxic yacht]

SoOn™

[pine star]

Are they still doing tryouts? Or just waiting to make the announcement?

[clever wagon]

These APEX open mic clips are pretty good

[digital pond]

If Harb is actually joining it's probably contract shit.

[balmy wolf]

Not really @digital pond

[pine star]

I hope he is

[toxic yacht]

they've been scrimming with these same friends for an awfully unnatural amount of time

[balmy wolf]

Doesnt matter if they move now or in 2 weeks

we wont see them play till the end of march

[vestal mortar]

They're playing at the end of the month and I don't think IDDQD and Numlocked will have moved by then.

[digital pond]

Oh well. If anything I hope thye move for the player sake themselves to play on lower ping v0v

[balmy wolf]

NRG will move them

[clever wagon]

uwu

[balmy wolf]

And what do you mean contract shit?

[digital pond]

I know and I agreed they will.

I said also I'm hoping it's soon.

[toxic yacht]

probably NDAs and stuff

with contract shit

[vestal mortar]

Yeah they are working on Visas last time Dummy spoke about it and he said things are in the works.

[toxic yacht]

about how they can't confirm it yet

[digital pond]

And I met the whole CoL situation I'm assuming even while not playing harb was under contract.

meant*

[toxic yacht]

FaZe should work on those visas more

lol

[balmy wolf]

Buying him out wont be a problem for nrg lel

[vestal mortar]

Haha

[clever wagon]

"Oh, nvm, I thought you're making a joke about the owner of my org"

[digital pond]

Is the Selfless Owner the only one in GM?

[vestal mortar]

Aww man, somebody should make a montage of all of Harb's hints and slip ups

[clever wagon]

"slip ups"

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[vestal mortar]

😉

Thanks

[inland citrus]

Hellow, where i can advertise about tournament overwatch?

[digital pond]

I believe contacting one of the Admins would be the best way to get it advertised.

Woaw Hammers acted fast.

[limber pine]

wait

misfits is moving to NA too

?

who's left in EU

[manic cape]

Dignitas

[limber stag]

NIP

[clever wagon]

@digital pond From what I've been hearing 'round here, Chavs is ripe for the picking anyways

[fiery olive]

.

[clever wagon]

@limber pine Orgs are getting ready for OWL ?

[dusty surge]

woot woot

[solid spear]

Wonder how many teams will be in it

[dusty surge]

I'm excited to see what that does for OW and esports in general.

Will this be the first time a proper league framework has been put around an game?

[digital pond]

I mean I'm hyped they found another squad to sign. Just was fast don't know why just wasn't expecting them to get it going so soon.

[jovial eagle]

i had a discussion with someone about esports in general

and he had an interesting point

[digital pond]

@dusty surge Probably. At least on that scale.

[jovial eagle]

he said one og the reasons that esports aren't as big as they should be is that games are owned by companies

real sports aren't

which allows game companies to have more leeway than they should

[digital pond]

Yeah I mean the big thing for example with league is the limit of teams in LCS. There's also constant inconsistancies because Riot owns anything that has to do with th egame.

Thus giving them absolute power.

[dusty surge]

Well, all the "big" sports are effectively owned as far as league play is concerned.

[digital pond]

They are but, not in the same way as far as actions.

Or at least it's not as blatant how involved they are in comparison.

[dusty surge]

Maybe I don't understand the actions being discussed here.

[jovial eagle]

differently

because there's a player's union

so you can leverage

[digital pond]

^

[jovial eagle]

everything from wages to rules in the sport

i wanted a esport player's union

and more money involved obviously

[digital pond]

The issue of lacking player union came up when a team threatened to sieze a kids' home if he didn't play for example a couple years ago in league.

[dusty surge]

What the fuck?

[jovial eagle]

yeah like wtf

[digital pond]

And the discussion was good, but the Union is still inexistant.

[jovial eagle]

honestly

[dusty surge]

Did the org byu the home?

Or did he buy it with money he made from them?

[digital pond]

They didn't they would be taking it as colateral.

In the end Riot intervened and took some sanctions but the team and org still was able to keep on playing in LCS even after the event.

They even got new players.

[dusty surge]

wat

[digital pond]

Eventually they got relegated because of losing but it wasn't them being forced out.

But I think the benefit OWL has is being set up like some traditional sports with the representation of actual places.

[dusty surge]

That's shitty, but I feel like there are specifics missing from the story.

Oh well.

[digital pond]

With no limitations on teams and such.

Well obviously him not playing was against his contract and I think he had no way of paying them back as he was 18 and this was his only job.

The person who threatened to take his house was indeed fired for it too.

I believe his mother co-signed the contract with him.

So they were threatening her house basically.

Well the individual was.

[dusty surge]

Yeah, that's what I expected -- something with a signing bonus and contract shenanigans.

So they were probably within their rights -- as shitty as they were. So a union would help prevent those kind of contracts from being drafted up to begin with.

[digital pond]

Yeah definitely within their rights, and since there's no player union and such they didn't expect any backlash.

Until the entire sub reddit took up in flames.

And yeah it would definitely help if players had some kind of organization at the legal level.

[dusty surge]

Gotcha

[forest raven]

@toxic yacht Did you see what Zebbo said about Misfits? He's going support, Mannetan's going tank and Nevix is dps

[crisp lynx]

Nevix is good DPS

[clever wagon]

Ya he did Draw

[forest raven]

Cool

[crisp lynx]

:d

[clever wagon]

Waoh JKap is GM? Who does he play mostly

[forest raven]

dps I think

[clever wagon]

70 fps in GM, while I'm just sitting in plat with 120fps+

[solid spear]

Im on a laptop lul

[hoary pagoda]

JKap as in jeff japlan

the real jeff?

[sleek narwhal]

I need healing

[forest raven]

Jason Kaplan, a caster @hoary pagoda

[rapid oxide]

And Shake from col is another kaplan lol

[forest raven]

Apparently there's quite a bit of Turkish ancestry in the Overwatch scene 🤔

[rapid oxide]

Next hero turkish confirmed

[jovial eagle]

make the hero gobble

[balmy wolf]

Using the kaioken!

[rapid oxide]

Kebab sword!

[balmy wolf]

Lol!

[iron cedar]

I have a question
What do pros think of the current bastion?

[balmy wolf]

https://www.over.gg/3006/rogue-hopes-to-establish-a-new-dynasty-on-fresh-soil

Even stranger is their rumored setup for 2/2/2 compositions—many believe that NiCO will fill out the Lucio role while winz returns to Zarya for more traditional selections when a Genji is unnecessary. KnOxXx himself has not even played Reinhardt, the traditional "main tank."

[forest raven]

I had the same reaction when I saw that, lul

It's unorthodox, that's for sure

[balmy wolf]

Winz back on Zarya is welcome

But NiCO on Lucio?

[forest raven]

You have SoOn and aKm as the dps duo

But who plays projectile

[balmy wolf]

aKm's Pharah

[forest raven]

[balmy wolf]

[clever wagon]

Nico on Lucio whut

[forest raven]

And this is Rogue's conumdrum

If NiCO learns Zarya and KnoxXx learns Rein their current set up can work

But switch any of it around, and there's always a position that's vacant

[silk linden]

let's be honest, Reinhardt is hardly rocket science

even at pro level

granted a great rein can make a difference, but a pro player should be able to learn a good rein easily

[vestal mortar]

Yeah I was also really confused when I read that article, can't even imagine Nico on Lucio haha

[forest raven]

Yes but compared to all the other Rein mains he would play against who have so much more experience on the hero than KnoxXx does

It does matter

[vestal mortar]

Dae remember Miro vs Kaiser?

[silk linden]

you mean, at that point,might as well pick up another player who's already good at rein?

though team chemistry is hard to replace

[forest raven]

Honestly the rest of Rogue could carry KnoxXx as he learns Rein

And yeah he's been with most of the roster for months

[silk linden]

the French Connection

[forest raven]

If NiCO does go to Lucio and Winz goes to off tank, then Rogue will have no reliable projectile player

[clever wagon]

What

is Dae

Does anybody even?

[forest raven]

Does Anybody Else

[clever wagon]

Mh, close

Typing with a ripple effect backlight in the dark is funny

[vestal mortar]

😛

[rapid oxide]

Knoxx is a top tier 1 lucio

[forest raven]

Yeah, but there isn't another player who can main tank besides him

[balmy wolf]

Man in this most recent scrim montage from dummy they're like exclusively scrimming Liquid

[forest raven]

Azk

It's Liquid, IMT

[rapid oxide]

Ye but nico on lucio? Is this better? Don't think sk

So

[forest raven]

And someone else isn't it

[rapid oxide]

Azk seems the chinese copy of Akm lol

Abibas / Adidas

[balmy wolf]

Seems to be Liquid and Fnatic

[forest raven]

Fnatic, that's it

Other scrim montages he's uploaded has had IMT in there as well

[balmy wolf]

Yeah its like

Highlights vs Liquid

Then Fnatic

Then IMT

Dude

That stagger

on Hyped

[forest raven]

ikr

So good

[balmy wolf]

Cant wait to see them play

"It's so fun grabbing the training bot off the map."

"Sucking people off?"

"What?!"

"Huh?"

[forest raven]

kek

[balmy wolf]

Numlocked

[forest raven]

Have you seen Seagull's newest vid?

He's trio-q with Dummy and Calvin

[balmy wolf]

Yeah

[forest raven]

And Dummy is such a fucking memer

[silk linden]

he boosts lucio for the memes

[toxic yacht]

https://youtu.be/hVn_JGU56CI

tfw you start to doubt ShaDowBurn because of Haksal and Whoru and he uploads this

Are embeds kill? 🤔

[forest raven]

I can see it @toxic yacht

[toxic yacht]

Ah, I can see it too now. Just my phone being a tard

[forest raven]

Also his predictions even on 200 ping

ShaDowBurn's amazing

FaZe seriously needs a teamhouse, they'd be a tier 1 NA team if they got one

[toxic yacht]

They were T1 back in EU :( They kinda shot themselves in the foot by kicking TwoEasy right before dive made a comeback, Mikeya just doesn't cut it and isn't nearly on his level. Also, 2 projectile DPS. I seriously hope that Mikeya gits gud. #MakeFaZeGreatAgain

[forest raven]

[clever wagon]

Shadowburn deserves to be in a better team

Also, that's the thing with the young Koreans like Haksal and WhoRU atm

They're mostly pushed into the one-trick star position

If Miro is Winston himself, then SDB is Genji

He uses Genji kits like surgical blade

Man I'm literally scared watching his Genji

[balmy wolf]

You should see Necros

[clever wagon]

Who?

[balmy wolf]

A Genji main

Top 500

I'm really not gonna be surprised if Kaiser himself somehow ended up dropping a msg here

In fact @pine star for a brief moment I thought it was actually Kaiser

Ur profpic gnnnnn

I've been looking at Kaiser's tweets too much

I was trying to play some OW

Echo Fox in OW? 😮

[clever wagon]

No idea what that is

[rapid oxide]

it's a really big organisation

owned by Ricky Fox, an NBA team

[rapid oxide]

Echo Fox is a professional eSports organization which fields teams in League of Legends, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 , Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Street Fighter V, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Mortal Kombat X. The organization was founded after Rick Fox bought the LCS spot of Gravity Gaming for around US$1 million. The organization expanded into Counter-Strike: Global Offensive by signing a team called Torqued on January 26, 2016.

[clever wagon]

Yee boi taimou n Kaiser planning to duo q

Huh

Welp never heard of them in CSGO, but theb again I only know names like NiP, astralis, SK, G2, FaZe, NV, C9 and a few others

[digital pond]

If Echo Fox is joining there will definitely be a lot of orgs coming from stuff like dota and league.

Rick attracts people by existing.

[rapid oxide]

Astralis is like REUNITED, i find it difficult to expand

SK and G2 had a team, most likely they will come back

And yes, anem, i posted it because fox attract others and its a pretty huge org

[balmy wolf]

Besides them, are there any other really big orgs that have yet to touch Overwatch?

[solid spear]

There's EG, Optic, TSM obviously doesn't have a team atm etc.

[digital pond]

NaVi. Alliance. both would be great too.

[clever wagon]

First and foremost I want CSGO orgs joining in 😮

[digital pond]

Well, NiP c9, dig and such have OW teams.

[clever wagon]

NaVi and the rest

I meant

[digital pond]

Hopefully with OWL ya.

[clever wagon]

I mean I did hear/read somewhere some time ago that G2 was looking to expand to OW but backed off because of.... uh, put really short, scene's age n shit

[digital pond]

Make sense, probably waiting to see how it goes before diving in.

[clever wagon]

Yeah

[rapid oxide]

Virtus Pro

Flipside

SK T1, Rox

Alliance

G2

I want to see SK >_>

Hope that they wont take any Brazilian team lul

[clever wagon]

What why lul

[rapid oxide]

Cuz i dont know if they can compete at top level

That's why

South america scene is like the oceanian onr

Black Dragons are the best team (for gosu) in BR

Fusion girls is top 5 on gosu

But both didn't truly compete in serious tournaments

[solid spear]

Mhmm

Yeah

I see

[toxic yacht]

Uhhh, okay

I see

Thank you :)

[rapid oxide]

Dont ya guys forget that na orgs can get kr team too

Afaik there are kr team that are na orged

iirc tsm for example

[forest raven]

I like the rivalry, so to speak, between the west and Korea, though

I think as more western teams get the support staff like LG and C9 is getting/has, the gap between KR and the west will get smaller

[rapid oxide]

It's too early to accept kr overlords

[forest raven]

Agreed, but I do think there is currently a skill gap between the KR teams and the western teams

[rapid oxide]

Fnatic played shit, c9 too, misfits had an hard group, envy had hitten hard since post meta tank

[forest raven]

C9 played like shit, then they got Bishop

And they performed a lot better

[pine star]

^

comes out of nowhere

[forest raven]

[toxic yacht]

Lol, /r/cow has already went all Korean Overlords while downvoting anyone who explains why it's not that time yet

I agree that the west should step it up, but c'mon, it's not that far yet

[pine star]

French overlords?

[forest raven]

The fact that LG has a coach and I think analysts is a good sign

For both teams, I assume

[rapid oxide]

People comparing lol to overwatch

Like wtf

[pine star]

Any announcement of who will replace Mineral and Eissfeldt?

[rapid oxide]

No

[forest raven]

None yet

Still trialing

[pine star]

Poor Mineral

[rapid oxide]

Prob they will drop loyal pretty soon

[toxic yacht]

Korean domination is inevitable, but we can at least delay it as much as we can, lul. I give it until 2018 when we are dominated, but atm KR and EU are at a similar level

[pine star]

They will drop them one by one lmao

[forest raven]

Nah, I don't think LG wants to lose players like Spree and Hidan

[toxic yacht]

Yee, they picked up evil to drop loyal for the OWL, probably

[rapid oxide]

Ye but evil are better

Who cares about hidan n co

[toxic yacht]

Feelsbad for loyal. So much talent, but they just can't make it work

[pine star]

Rob > Hidan?

[rapid oxide]

When one team is winning, and fhe other is pretty poor

[toxic yacht]

Hidan is one of the best main supports in ow, pls

[rapid oxide]

Talents will get a new team

Like IDDQD did

[forest raven]

Hidan'll get picked up quick if LGL is dropped

[rapid oxide]

Truly good playrr doesn't stay team less for long

[toxic yacht]

He just happens to be on a sub par squad

[pine star]

LG you vs LG the guy she tells you not to worry about

[rapid oxide]

No draw... The team is doing amazing without him

[pine star]

Luminosity Gaming is she

[toxic yacht]

Kinda tilting, in theory LGL should be crazy good

[pine star]

"I SWEAR I will not drop you sweetie"

[forest raven]

What @rapid oxide ?

[rapid oxide]

Nvm, i read that hidan should join evil

Im drunk

[forest raven]

kek

[toxic yacht]

lmao

[forest raven]

LGE's team chemistry is ten times more important than their individual skill

[rapid oxide]

^

[pine star]

I don't think they will accept changing anyone on their roster

[rapid oxide]

Old nrg, amazing tf2 talents

Shit team

[pine star]

They've been together since bird noises

[rapid oxide]

But it's not the old tf2 team. :p

[toxic yacht]

Clockwork is actually shit at ow though

Don't forget that

[rapid oxide]

He's good

[pine star]

And Jake said they wouldn't sign Hammers if they didn't sign everyone, so

[rapid oxide]

Butnfor pubs

Jake is so chilled guy man

Ant to hug him

Want

[pine star]

Yeah

[forest raven]

Jake should be the ambassador for the esports scene tbh

[pine star]

I wouldn't mind having his firstborn

[forest raven]

Actually

I forgot Seagull existed

[pine star]

[forest raven]

He's far more popular and just as humble, knowledgeable and articulate

[rapid oxide]

waiting for @clever wagon fan boysm

[toxic yacht]

I was about to bring up Seagull

Brandon should flat out become the eSports representative for OW, tbh

[pine star]

Yeah Seagull is the chilliest chill guy that has ever chilled

I love how insightful are his streams

[rapid oxide]

20k average viewers

Seagull os the qtpie of ow

[toxic yacht]

He gets more views than a few tournaments

A lot of tournaments, actually

[rapid oxide]

Qtpie gets more views tha lcs

[pine star]

Most tournaments*

[toxic yacht]

Only the biggest tournies pull in mode views, lul

[rapid oxide]

So it's not just ow

[forest raven]

How many did the WC get?

[rapid oxide]

This doesn't happen in csgo doe

[toxic yacht]

WC?

[rapid oxide]

Summit is too multigamers

[toxic yacht]

Peak was 200k

[forest raven]

World Cup

Damn

[toxic yacht]

Or something

[rapid oxide]

250 iirc

[forest raven]

Such a terrible tourney

[rapid oxide]

Showdown 100k?

[toxic yacht]

250? Holy fuck

Showdown 80-100

Showdown was also the best

[rapid oxide]

Ye but both was hyped by blizz

Thats why

[pine star]

That NA LOL tourney tho, tfw Faker decides to stream during it

[kindred brook]

Hi are you the real tviq

[rapid oxide]

I mean, videos, twits etc..

Other tournaments... Kinda ignored

Indeed open had 40/50k peak

[toxic yacht]

No, I'm just a disgusting fanboy

[rapid oxide]

Apex 40k

[pine star]

He's actually Zebbosai

[toxic yacht]

Lmao

[forest raven]

He's actually aKm

[pine star]

He's actually Arhan

[forest raven]

He's actually Kitty

[rapid oxide]

Im pretty sure no pros would waste time here

Thr chance to meet a pros are low

[forest raven]

Good lord no

[toxic yacht]

Blizzard kinda ignores everything unrelated to them :/ Would rather retweet fanart

[forest raven]

They have their own server and even then barely any of them talk

[toxic yacht]

We have a few pros

Rob420 came 2 days ago

[rapid oxide]

They put effort in atlantic and wx

Wc

Not on other stuff

Im pretty sure ow won't die until blizz is willing to advertise it

And pump moneys

[pine star]

Sub Nitro or sub Harbleu?

[balmy wolf]

Theres pros on the server

But only few ever talk

Indust and Rob420 came in here over the last week

[pine star]

Veineless is a mod also

I wonder where miuku went

I wanted to talk about views

[primal nacelle]

[toxic yacht]

and ESL a bit

[edgy remnant]

hi welcome to chilis

[vague eagle]

You are a big guy

[digital pond]

For you

[toxic yacht]

^

he knows

did someone ask for memes?

[balmy wolf]

Wheres the reinforce one

👀

[toxic yacht]

oh god, now I don't wanna

👀

[edgy remnant]

esca god of na ults

[vestal mortar]

[toxic yacht]

when esca does something

it's actually zunba

remember

those 3 subsequent kills

were also zunba

[digital pond]

Zunba just played on two PCs. Obv.

[toxic yacht]

zunba obviously shielded esca on one pc while headshotting a bunch of people on his other pc

[pine star]

Zunba not only babysits Jehong but also plays for Esca from time to time?

[toxic yacht]

esca is so bad because he's actually zunba's alt

and since he's too busy playing zarya and a mediocre dva on one pc

[pine star]

Esca Zunba's smurf confirmed

[toxic yacht]

he can't play esca properly on the other one

[vestal mortar]

Overwatch esports conspiracies

[pine star]

🤔

[toxic yacht]

I bet when miro was getting outplayed by kaiser

that was also esca's fault

[pine star]

It's all Tajum fault obvs

[toxic yacht]

tajun was the problem

just like TwoEasy

FaZe is definitely a stronger squad

now that TwoEasy is gone

[vestal mortar]

Tajum
Tojum
Sojum

[pine star]

Tajum possessed Esca's mouse when he left

[toxic yacht]

shit, the secret is out

[pine star]

@vestal mortar LMFAO

[toxic yacht]

I'm actually tajun's alt

[pine star]

[vestal mortar]

I can't believe it!

[pine star]

I always knew something seemed fishy about you 👀

Harsha: "TviQ + Nevix is potentially the best western DPS duo. Hope this is the lineup that Misfits sticks with."
TwoEasy: "@ggHarsha both great projectile players but hitscan? Not too sure."

[forest raven]

wat

[toxic yacht]

wat

Should I link to TviQ's cree again?

[pine star]

TwoEasy

[toxic yacht]

brb linking to TviQ's cree

also, his 76

and widow

and tracer

and every other hitscan

also, nevix's 76

[pine star]

He went full derp

[toxic yacht]

and cree

[vestal mortar]

WOW

[pine star]

https://twitter.com/TwoEasyOW/status/840924923967217664

Link for the lolz

[edgy remnant]

yeah i used to watch tviqs mccree

[balmy wolf]

I was too busy watching aKm's McCree

[toxic yacht]

"but hitscan"
https://youtu.be/RQL5A5tCAIA?t=43m7s

actually, ima make a clip and a video of that, brb going to twitch

[pine star]

Why would you watch aKm's Cree when you can watch his Pharah?

[digital pond]

aKm Pharah > SDB Genji Obv.

[balmy wolf]

[pine star]

Talespin vs aKm Pharah 1v1

Spoiler: aKm wins

[toxic yacht]

aKm Pharah > ShaDowBurn Pharah

[digital pond]

aKm Pharah > Haksal Genji

[balmy wolf]

aKm Pharah > ArHaN Genji

[digital pond]

aKm Pharah > XQC's Orisa

[pine star]

You put me in a rough position Polo

[balmy wolf]

[digital pond]

aKm's Pharah > HarryHook's Genji.

Last one.

[toxic yacht]

🤔

[pine star]

[toxic yacht]

Better version of "No hitscan player"
https://clips.twitch.tv/BoringArborealStinkbugRaccAttack

also, I just made a gfycat of it

[digital pond]

Obviously he didn't flick enough. He's tracking and thus inferior.

[toxic yacht]

yeah, that must be it

[pine star]

Average

He should stick to projectile obvs

[digital pond]

Hanzo only ya.

[toxic yacht]

I'm better at cree, obv

[vestal mortar]

🤦

[clever wagon]

Seagull just got the benefit of having access to closed beta and being the more popular TF2 player

Happy now @rapid oxide

[clever wagon]

Y'all can read

[vestal mortar]

Ahh from a much earlier conversation I see

[clever wagon]

Yes

[pine star]

@clever wagon you missed TviQ didn't ya

[toxic yacht]

lul, coming from a convo that ended 10 years ago

[clever wagon]

I was busy with learning about the Yoko Taro universe and working on an assignment at the same time

[toxic yacht]

ahh, good ol nier hype

but #esports-discussion n stuff

[pine star]

Yeah well, TviQ was here a while ago

And challenged Sojum to a 1v1

👀

[clever wagon]

TviQ himself?

Huh

[pine star]

Yup

Real deal

[clever wagon]

Sojum must have been as wet as the ocean

[pine star]

ikr

[toxic yacht]

😊

[clever wagon]

Don't you lie Sojum

Be honest, you got the ahegao

[balmy wolf]

[toxic yacht]

maaaybeeee

[pine star]

Why do you think he changed his name back to Sojum?

[vestal mortar]

[clever wagon]

Yeah

[toxic yacht]

imagine I'd still have had my old avatar

LUL

[pine star]

[primal nacelle]

[pine star]

[toxic yacht]

I don't think it's a hint, tbh

[balmy wolf]

Yeah pretty sure he was just saying cloudy lol

[pine star]

C9 sister team confirmed

[toxic yacht]

I doubt that they'd drop Gods so quickly

and dropping mendo/Surefour

[balmy wolf]

TSM is my bet

[toxic yacht]

is like shooting youself in the foot

I still find it amusing that nV had TviQ and Mendo at some point

[balmy wolf]

Who will Echo Fox pickup is my question though

[toxic yacht]

those two guys would fix all of nV's current issues, lul

hero pool related, at least

[balmy wolf]

That wasnt Envy though

[pine star]

Yeah

[balmy wolf]

That was IDDQD

[toxic yacht]

IDDQD

[pine star]

That was IDDQD
