Dumper

Also the amount of viewers is only half of what it was earlier
At least he's honest about it
Yeah the breaks always lose viewers
??
He was out of the vertical range?
Night
_<
Make 2cp the third map damnit, not the 2nd
But Evil just has their power distributed so well
Super, Voll, Train, Jake
Can't argue with that
This fucking Genji duel is way better than Selfless game LUL
Wtf is selfless just better than runaway?
Woah hammers are doing better than runaway
I mean selfless
Better than selfless
Kaiser is the real beyblade
wat
now the game i wanna watch
That winston snip was fucking filthy
The prediction was insane
Stitch was insane with that snip
Seems IMT has taken Selfless to a third map
I'm not really surprised
Selfless is up 1-0 on IMT
Must have been quite the map if that went longer than all of RunAway vs LGE

they not streaming Selfless vs LGE?
If IMT vs Selfless goes to a 3rd map they'll stream that
While we're waiting we should just watch another match
They would lose less viewers that way too
This was an off stream game
Why does it matter?
The only reason skins are banned is so the match is easier to follow
So people know what hero is which
Like they look at Pumpkin reaper and are like
"whos that guy"
LOL
Its very stupid imo
Yeah I get it
but whatever
As soon as Sinatraa switched to Tracer they began dominating IMT ๐ค
Still no McCree from Grim
LGE 0-3
That's a feelsbad
Who won
LIVE: RUNAWAY vs IMMORTALS - Overwatch Monthly Melee - Casted by @TempoZP @Hexagrams @Slasher @Ubers - Clipped by polo__bear
dude what
haksal did literally nothing with nano
he just stood there looking at grim
and died

holy shit IMT are going to set a record time
LIVE: RUNAWAY vs IMMORTALS - Overwatch Monthly Melee - Casted by @TempoZP @Hexagrams @Slasher @Ubers - Clipped by polo__bear
jfc
FUCKING GRIM
DINKS THREE HEADS IN A ROW
BUT THEY NEVER RUN MCCREE AGAINST SELFLESS

well, that's one map down
Man Runaway really suck dick on high ping lol
IMT could have done so much with GrimCree against Sinatraa's Tracer
But he tried running his Tracer against Sinatraa's
word
This is more dominating than Selfless' match on KR against RunAway
It's their version of Beyblade lol
They are just so dominant
holy fuck
Hyped
my god
This really is Winter Premiere Immortals
They're pushing it but
only winning off nanoblade
and have half of IMT's time going into factory
LIVE: RUNAWAY vs IMMORTALS - Overwatch Monthly Melee - Casted by @TempoZP @Hexagrams @Slasher @Ubers - Clipped by polo__bear
Dude
3 kills 1 firestrike
Is this Selfess vs Runaway again?
Without Haksal Runaway would literally be nothing
Like a tier 5 team
I guess that's all you can do with 140 ms
This is like FaZe and Shadowburn but a whole nother level
they need to full hold, right?
They staggered Agilities and the only thing IMT could do from then on was trickle because the payload was too close for IMT to regroup again
RunAway really isn't good at KR
jesus fucking christ
If a character is in an invuln state, they shouldn't be able to contest
score Self vs LGE?
well, that's game
3:41 to take first
Oh shit Agilities
IMT performed far better against RunAway than Selfless did
I think if IMT actually chooses to run GrimCree against Selfless, they could beat them
playing more aggressive vs a team with high ping payed off
mhm
obviously they couldn't do that vs Selfless
LGE vs Selfless is still going on
Selfless is gonna run over FaZe
Rogue should beat RunAway handily
Actualyl no
It's Rogue vs IMT
IMT's in second seed because they beat RunAway
Yeah, probs waiting for the last game to finish
So it's LGE vs Fnatic and BGH vs Runaway?
I think that depends on who wins between LGE and Selfless
If Selfless wins then yes
Ye
If anybody fucking thinks ping doesn't matter
Same
I legit was going nuts when I heard shadowburn plays with 120+ ping
For some reason I used to get 300 ms servers with my last ISP
Changed ISPs now, never happened anymore
Oh god 300
But holy shit the delay
"Play Reinhardt" they say? FUCK YOU, even putting up his shield has a delay
Now I almost always play on 20 ms luckily, save for 1 or 2 games I might not remember
Honestly, if thats what they actually said
They are just whiners
120 ping is not that bad
What they're describing is 300+ ping
Like pressing E on a teammate and the barrier being 2 seconds late?
Yeah no, that doesnt happen on 120 ever.
They could be exaggerating after coming from 5 ping @balmy wolf
I suppose but still
Ping does matter
Thats evident
But like
Them saying all that
makes it seem like it really was that bad
when in reality it wasnt like that at all
btw, Selfless 2-1'd LGE
So people will think Runaway only lost because of the ping difference
Selfless is real shit at 2cp apparently
rip
Selfless lost 2cp against CLG, RunAway, LGE and tied IMT
That said LGE never ran Electric Cowboy against Runners
Jake went McCree only at Eichenwalde defense 1st round
And only 1 life
Well, who knows though
Seriously, Selfless runs one diver and that's Tracer
IMT could very well have beaten Selfless had Grim ran McCree with Agilities' Hog
There have also been instances where nano effects have 2sec or more delay to appear on its target
And focused down Sinatraa
On rather normal latencies
Yeah 120 isnt that bad
They probably had some connection problems
Which made their ping alot higher
Maybe some packet loss. I just think it's just them having a hard time getting used to timing of things is all. 5ms to 195 probably would take me aback too.
I mean I felt fine going from 18 to 160 when I played with someone from EU, so
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
There was obviously delay, but I could deal
It's good to know they're not taking it too seriously, though
Well, Runner also said they finally got used to it by Evil match
So yeah they could cope with the ping in the end
Yet IMT ran them over harder than Selfless did
Who's won in Melee this weekend?
Rogue came out of their group 6-0, with FaZe in 2nd place. Selfless 6-2'd their group, with IMT in 2nd @iron mauve
RunAway was 2-1'd by Selfless, 2-0'd by IMT and 2-0'd LGE
LGE with the clean 0-3
Rip LGE tho. What happened?
Selfless is a very good team, and IMT seems to be coming out of their slump after winning NGE
LGE might be falling into a slump of their own
๐ฆ
I like runaway competing in Melee though. It's the team in Apex right? Or a diff team?
Yeah, same team
No ping issues?
No, ping is a factor for sure, but they said themselves Selfless is a very good team
Not sure what happened against IMT, though ๐ค
Honestly RunAway looks like a very one trick team in the OMM
Nano Haksal, wipe team
Without that combo they get stalled out and rolled
Most of the time
Ic. NA stepping up? Or just better teams not having a good day? ๐ค
Honestly, online tournaments in cross-region play should be taken with a bucket of salt
I believe NA is stepping up with these young teams
Yeah you have a point
But still
However, even on LAN, RunAway vs Selfless would still be a very, very close match, imo
Need LANs to actually prove that
Isn't OW Pit gonna have LAN at finals or something?
But their records on online tourneys are something
Assume so
Semis and finals I think?
Anyway, I gotta brb for like 20 mins
Hopefully.
Selfless with Dafran and Sinatraa playing like they're out for blood is also enjoyable to watch
It's nice to see some other teams come into tourneys from other leagues/regions/tourneys thiugh
Really aggressive unlike any other
I haven't seen much of selfless tbh.
Heard they're LGE on steroids in a way
In terms of agree
Aggression*
Aggression, yeah maybe
Not so with versatility, even if they can work it across their 30-match streak
Gotcha
Did you watch RunAway v Selfless? Should be enough to see how they play
Was a tight game
Nah. Wasn't able to see any of Melee yet
Be sure to when you can
Hey guys, if you live in the Middle East or North Africa, you should check this out: https://megl.tv/geforce
This has been the hottest Melee yet
We're hosting an NVIDIA sponsored overwatch tournament
Thx ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
$6000 prize pool
Since January that is, I only got into esports scene this year
@flint topaz might want to bring that to #tournaments
Message the mods/Admins
I only got into Pro ow when Hammers got Bird Noises. I work for Hammers rn so my knowledge was basically Carbon and The last Melee.
I'm a graphic designer ๐๐ no one super special
Thanks to Hammers for picking Jake n co up regardless
With Hammers picking up The Chavs this time I see Hammers as one of those orgs with an eye for talent
@clever wagon messaged an Admin
Yeah. OwL is the push right now
Not a huge org so I'm assuming Hammers will need to show investors that they're worth it with wins and good talent
Yeah best of luck to Hammers
Btw question. There's a small Esports team that wants an Overwatch league spot. But hasn't touched Ow Esports at all. No teams, nothing. They're OK in like 1 Esports that they compete in, but it's a small Esport so its not a whole lot in comparison to LoL or anything. Think it's actually possible for said team to get an investor to give them money for OwL?
They compete in Vainglory (mobile Esports)
Aight. No prob ๐๐ป
@balmy wolf maybe?
I mean though, as an uneducated opinion... I guess it depends on the investor?
Right, I forgot it's off time for most guys here
@forest raven should be back soon though
I gotchu. Just wondering. Cause I personally don't think they will, since they've never been in any Esports market outside of a mobile environment
Unless their roster really shows up before OWL begins, unlikely imo
Well they don't even have one. That's the thing
Well, do they have millions of dollars to spend?
They tried to get a team. Like spicy boys or someone like that, but they couldn't get them
No.
They could easily get outbidded by other, richer orgs
Yeah. That's my thought. But they're trying to convince investors to give them money, without proving that they would be an actual decent Ow team. So I'm kinda just like "what?"
still thinking Echo Fox is gonna buyout Selfless
Selfless vs Rogue is gonna be the most explosive match of the tournament, for sure
but that streak will END against Faze
A real fan never turns their back on their team >_>
Woohoo! \o/
But they did all the matches? Because reddit post seems missing some
Runaway?
Ye
As the Korean team
Ye
Still one 1 match
Thanks @forest raven ๐ค
np fam
People on Reddit are like "selfless would win apex" "kr aren't that strong"
kek
Yep
What they have do to? Selfless should play in kr
And... Echo Fox is watching imo ๐
They'd be smart to pick up Selfless
Nono, you don't get it
These tier 1 KR teams
Are actually worse than tier 2 NA teams
KR totally cares about this random NA tournament as much as APEX
@toxic yacht You saw the post on /r/compow?
It said the guys in RunAway were laughing about the lag lol
But to give credit where credit is due, selfless played this crazy well
Yeah they went 3-0 in a very good group no one can take that away from them
.@Blizzard_Ent's @PlayOverwatch took home the Esports Game of the Year at #SXSW's #SXSWGaming awards. https://t.co/IE6uPdyP03 https://t.co/kYFo8aDOVU
Yeh saw that
Evil dropping so much... Fuck gosu >_>
Samsung Italy want to do a team for overwatch ๐ค
Oh? Interesting
๐ค๐ค๐ค
hehe
With both new players and former players of Bench Boys, Laser Kittenz plans to obtain a spot in the Overwatch League.
๐ฎ
Also tbf LG Evil is still 7 which is higher than they are in actuality
The return of Zaprey doe
i want to form the Solo Tilt, ft TwoEasy, Taimou, Art1er >_>
Went to focus on his education but realized school is boring and dat OW $$$
Misfits was good even when Zaprey was there
They had wins over every single notable team in EU
I know, I know
yo hype for athena cup \o/
star fox wut?
oh
Man Laser Kittens is really diverse
thanks didnt see it
I mean aren't there some like Twoeasy TSM rumors anyway?
Yeah dude lol
Leaves because he wants to get on a team for OWL
His former teams is picked up and looking for OWL spot

And yeah there has been Oreofe
He's really good
TSM have been looking for a team for a while
I mean there's talent available right now for sure
That might be the unannounced org that Cosi and TiG are on
I guess that's possible
Talespin said he was trying out for TSM on stream I think?
or maybe just "a team"
and that there was a lot of others aswell
Maybe Talespin
๐
Yeah there's been Talespin, Calvin rumors
inb4 tviq leaves misfits and joins TSM
I'm sitting here hoping my boy Skipjack finds a squad
skipjack's ass is too busy recovering
after how badly it got fucked
by the 3 way trade
He seriously needs to find a team :/
He's too good to just...not be playing
Also I hope Talespin developed a Hog or his Genji is better or something after all this time
why the hell they do that 3 way trade, old misfits is good
and nevix play support......
It was a location thing but considering 2 of the 3 teams are in NA now and the other will be eventually in hindsight maybe it never needed to happen
how many spots do you think there will be in NA for OWLยฟ? cuz there are like 15 right now trying to play in NA
ayyy one more hour
is there any reason for the AMM organizers not stream the matches that won't be casted?
or not just AMM, but the tournaments in general
I mean they have to have multiple matches at the same time
So they're not sitting here casting for 15 hours
I meant as in, why they don't have a separate channel to stream the other matches
like, Rogue X IMT is being casted, then BGH x Fnatic is being just streamed with no casting in a nother channel
You see the technical difficulties they have with one stream, letting the casters rotate and have some kind of break plus splitting people between 2 streams it's just more trouble than it's worth for a small tournament
I guess it makes sense
@toxic yacht u in bed babby boy
damn i blink and they cap

i cant recall imt ever playing pharah rn
np
Rogue scares me af
Rogue just needs to fix their defense game. Like Selfless.
yeah they are... not really good at first defense points
imt played well, i thnk they lost mostly because grim was out of position
100% rogue would be doing better than envy
To be fair IMT has improved quite a bit in the last 2 weeks.
Hahaha
"The two guys on the left are wearing shirts and nothing else. "

Why is ToA always in these series ffs.
ToA? @digital pond
Temple of Anubis
what are you watching?
Or was it equal more or less?
It was 3/3 Eichenwalde.
IMT finished in OT, Rogue finished with 3:34
Rogue got attack capped and won.
Nisu
Rogue then capped 1st point with 30s remaining
it wasn't a stomp
and won
Apparently BGH 1 x 0 Runaway on Hollywood
Man I love watching Rogue
Rogue's shot-calling and target calling is just impressive as all hell.
@balmy wolf sup playa
hey where did you see bgh vs runaway results @wintry matrix
SoOn's positionning is so glorious @balmy wolf
they mustt've played at 300 ping
It always weirds me out how little IMT seems to make use of Hyped's Zarya recently.
That was funny
that camera work
Whats ToA
Temple of Anubis answered earlier.
oh
Just easier for me to type
I just call it anubis :p
ana healing a lot
You've never seen them run Dive?
Not with Grim on Tracer no.
Maybe the difference between top NA teams is smaller than we thought
I don't think many people would predict Faze beating Fnatic either
Well the way I saw it going back through tournaments I would still say Rogue is more "organized", My thing is also that a lot of NA teams were just not playing dive for a bit.
That was a wild card for me.
Especially with Haffi on high ping
"excepted"
holy shit that was nice
Aside from BGH if Faze was to beat someone it would be fnatic.
genji vs genji
Agilities did so good
But wtf was his team doing
getting picked
Did grim get a single kill at least
"Why is Nico the only one on Rogue that is good at his main" l0l
unkoe on mercy to support akm's plat pharah is such a waste ๐ฆ
Wait, so you saw the WP right? @digital pond
thank god
@balmy wolf I'm not sure I did :x
7 m i n u t e s
Rip.
gg ez
Agilities put himself out of position.
Rip
And they immediately knew it was win condition.
Their Attack game is ON point.
You should go counter their dive with a quad tanks
Defense just needs a bit of help.
They tried triple tank and got dismantled on Eichenwalde.
Damn
countering with a quad tank only works if the team already knows how to play quad. fnatic tried quad defense and got shitted on yesterday
They need winston too
Fnatic also tried Quad tank by putting the one dude carrying them in DPS on winston.
yeah that was funny as fuck
That's like bending over and making signs to lead to their buttholes.
btw they updated the match results on bgh vs runaway at over.gg , they really won the first set
Selfless vs Rogue is gonna be interesting
more hafficool ๐ซ
lol
1-1 Fnatic vs Evil
We'll see >_>
is anyone else having trouble with the steam cutting out randomly?
not me
me neither
zp ๐
THAT'S MY BOY
he had a hideous manbun last amm
punished
just leave the car lol
They got baited into fighting while they moved the cart LOL.
LOL
Emongg just one shotting SDB
when did Selfless become a top tanyer team
Again and again.
They won their last 6 tournaments back to back in a week @gentle shuttle
Before this.
seeing emongg playing hog makes him feel so fast, i play hog and feel like a slow fat ass with no ammo 90% of the match
easy to get ult single healing
They became a good team when the actual good NA teams were in Korea
They need to get Mendo and Ryb back in the US
Selfless is on a 33 match win streak @gentle shuttle
Yeah I mean it's "vacation" I'm sure they'll be back.
@balmy wolf wth??? man thats insane
Makes sense. I think since OW also doesn't have an established league it's harder on visas.
Even Dota sometimes has problems.
Yeah that was their old Roster @gentle shuttle
They're all new
I remember Emongg
He's in RNG now.
i forget which team he used to be on though ๐ค
So was b1am
He was on a random unsigned team @gentle shuttle
And with Tim too.
ah okies
SDB is not having a good day :c
dafran baiting reflect SO hard.
russian ping :C
jeez ow twitch chats
l0l
Selfless momentum lost.
Michael only one almost killing SDB lmao.
LOL BACKCAPPING SINATRAA STYLE.,
They'll take it back next round
man i used to kinda stick up for Slasher but god damn
?
him saying "just copy Rogue"
my friend thinks Hex looks like Hawkeye from Avengers. Can't unsee
What is Faze doing?
zoning blade
Faze wtf...
He already has another blade
Holy fuck.
When will Soldier get nerfed???
2cp balanced
That was a nice ass Grav.
Alright now Sinatraa can stay Tracer for the next 3 months.
lol BGH won.
pride ๐
???
So hyped for BGH.
Nice
Must have played well frankly.
๐ง๐ท
Don't forget it's like 7:40 am in KR right now
but still nice
@past oar There you go Sinatraa played 2 different heroes.
FAZE
Lol what is this
Daaaaamn
FUCKING 2 CP
The blade comeback.
Omg the phara
YES
nice ass rockets
Come on now don't choke
Luck is something you earn c;
EMONGG
EMONGG
EMONGG
EMONGG
EMONGG
EMONGG 
No
Faze feeding some ult charge.
lool
Awesome
I hope Mercy gets deleted x.X
_>
Not even specific to this game.
It's something
Just in general.
Mercy rez was smthn
If only the draws were fixed already
imagine esport overwatch without healers, only self-heals and healthpacks
Sounds awful on certain maps.
sombra would be played a lot more
Sounds awful period
It'd just be Genjis running around fighting over health packs
Shit like Pharah literally could not be played
And insane range
buff tracer to 200hp
Rip
He the most DPS at close and long range, burst damage, he can move faster than other heroes, can heal himself and his team and his ult is extremely powerful
Woah
Also nice Faze
wp
That was a nice game from faze
I mean when she was part of the meta she was pretty much oppressive lol.
Even at her peak she wasn't the most used tank, pretty sure
Ana and Soldier
When there's heroes like D.Va, Reaper, etc.
Why?
Again
What the fuck
This is pro play and look at Soldier
He can do so much damage so easily and kill everyone AND he has stupid secondary abilities
Not to mention his ult
and again lol
"If we don't look at Dafran maybe he'll go away"
Rip faze
F&F plz
I watched a Shadder video earlier today and he got like 65 elims with Genji but he still had less damage than Soldier
Wtf was that
Well if you actually kill your targets when you hit them.
You'll get less damage.
Same way a popping off McCree does less damage even if he headshots everyone.
Cause they die.
i dont think they'll ever nerf soldier cuz he's the token newbie hero pick
This is brutal
They might nerf the dmg per bullet by 1-2 eventually.
Unfortunate
I argue Soldier is pretty much as broken as Ana
No
Look at Blizzard, having a laugh with Lucio instead of fixing their game
I expect nothing from them anymore
Genji will never get the same amount of Damage as 76
Because 76 is shooting Rein shield whenever he can
Oh yeah not oppressive at all lol
He has no drawbacks at all
huh?
he's uhhh...old
Only Roadhog can counter him if he lands his hook before he gets bursted down
It's so stupid
actually the oldest characters are the most picked 
Was rogue vs IMT as bad as it was last OMM?
It was decisive but they didn't get crushed
That's good
Ehh
34 match win streak now for Selfless
I'd say they still crushed them
Just not as hard
Like yeah, they finished the map
but now they're up against arguably the best western team
But they finished in OT when Rogue finished with 3:40
And granted they did hold first for 3 minutes
but aKm wasn't even on 76 or McCree so
rip
sinatraa vs akm
Actually, Rogue has won all their matches since their comeback
Yep
so one insane win streak will broken in favor of the other
HYPE
YUS
UBER AND JKAP
Uber and Jason too
The ultimate hype
omg it's bo5 too
Poor Sojum, having to miss this...
He's still awake
@toxic yacht
Shitposting in trusted
imt 1 x 0 bgh ๐ฆ
๐ฑ
Oh god
my life is pain
for school, but I'm at a special type of school with a focus on techonolgy and shit
it department
Camera stays on SoOn as aKm shuts down Sinatraa and gets a kill with deadeye
NA production obv.
LOL UNKOE
ouch
That Rein charge was nasty.
Oh my god
Selfless got momentum.
Like A LOT.
To be fair though, both teams are teams that thrive on attack and struggle on defense.
We'll have to see how selfless does on defense too,
Dafran is carrying so hard
Yeah he's a monster.
Camera hasn't gone to aKm once 
Free Payload movements.
Literally thought they had already hit point 2 cause of how pushed they were.
This is like Grim and IMT
Hum.
Where has Zarya been today?
That feels like too many defensive ults.
1 too many.
Zarya got played by IMT and Sinatraa on anubis.
Hyped played her on Eichen too.
Off stream @balmy wolf
Oh/
Different comps off stream?
I was thinking already
People still being sneaky.
KnoxXx on Reinhardt 
Aaah
So weird to see Knoxx on Rein.
Last time I saw him on it he didn't do too hot.
Oh Zarya.
NICO ON ZARYA
Wow.
OOOOOOOO

Ya,
LIVE: UB Final - Rogue vs Selfless - Overwatch Monthly Melee - Casted by @TempoZP @Hexagrams @Slashe - Clipped by polo__bear
Nico plays a lot of shit man.
He's always duoQ'ing with someone who's streaming.
rogue swapped to reaper on the last amm vs lg evil
He plays a shit ton of heroes.
Will this be the first time Selfless' won't finish a map?
no
at least they held and it wasn't a 4m timebank
Geguri*
So, Selfless completed their best map in under a minute
that was fun
kek
@onyx hull I'm talking about the rest of the team
aKm has been switching throughout both tournaments
Surprised Rogue swapped frankly.
Reaper, Pharah, 76, McCree
And Unkoe with Ana and Zen
Yeh
Everyone else stayed on the same heroes
