Also it seems NiP might have lost Zuppeh

#

And gotten Seita back

pseudo sail
#

@clever wagon most bloodthirsty would be best, but I used bloodthirstiest in the moment and my editor didn't fix it so ... ๐Ÿ˜…

toxic yacht
#

Polo, Veine told me that Seita was just subbing

#

While Zuppewh was doing something else

gentle shuttle
#

@toxic yacht kawaii c:

toxic yacht
#

Weeb.

#

:>

balmy wolf
#

Yeah, Seita did sub for NiP during the Lenovo Cup

#

But I mean in the last few Montages of scrims snizzlenose made Seita was playing with NiP

#

Now of course, I dont know how old the footage is

#

But still

toxic yacht
#

Oh yee, snizzle. Haven't watched the latest one yet. We'll see it in 10 hours anyway

gentle shuttle

balmy wolf

Runaway came last in the AMM

toxic yacht
#

#

probably

balmy wolf
#

Looks like they really cant handle ping above 30

toxic yacht
#

koreans are used to their fucking privileged 3-15 ping

forest raven
#

forest raven

forest raven
#

Ah

wraith solstice
#

haha rip me

#

Anyway everyone knows envy Taimou is a pretty great Widow. Been watching some vods. anyone know who else I can watch

forest raven
#

In terms of Widow gameplay?

wraith solstice
#

Yeah

forest raven
#

In pro play I can't think of anyone off the top of my head tbh

#

But Kephrii largely plays Widow and he streams a lot in comp

#

You may want to mute his stream

wraith solstice
#

Ive heard a bit about Kephrii. Might give that a shot

#

oh whys that

forest raven
#

He can be an acquired taste, but I'd say don't listen to me and just form your own opinion of him

wraith solstice
#

Thanks for that mate

#

im off now

rapid oxide

H-holy shit

forest raven
#

wtf

#

250k prize pool, no big teams

#

Not even fucking Fusion Girls

clever wagon
#

Of course there's no Indonesia, the majority here are too poor to buy a 40 dollar game zaryalol

forest raven
#

They invite Blank but not FG

#

wtf

clever wagon
#

I mean like

#

Has Blizzard ever paid real attention to any of the running tournaments

#

At least outside of NA

rapid oxide
#

ahq eSports Club (Taiwan)
Blank Esports (Australia)
DeToNator GOLD (Japan)
Flash Wolves (Taiwan)
FireBall (Thailand)
Hong Kong Attitude (Hong Kong)
Machi Esports (Taiwan)
SunSister (Japan)

toxic yacht
#

No, blizzard obviously gives zero shits about non NA and Asia

#

seriously

clever wagon
#

Well there you go

#

Ez answer right

toxic yacht
#

it's actually really frustrating

#

"oh, we won't confirm the league for the strongest region, which will force all teams to move and kill the potential of the scene there"

#

really fucking smart

#

๐Ÿ‘

#

yes, I'm very salty

clever wagon
#

I mean

#

I'm more concerned about my favorite team really

#

Above all that's OWL

#

O fuck I meant to change my nick only but I ended up changing my discord tag

#

O well

balmy wolf
#

Oh its you

clever wagon
#

Here's the long gone Gankyou

balmy wolf
#

Werent you 2B or is that someone else

#

I cant keep track of all you people changing usernames

clever wagon
#

I'm all 2B, LGE, nickname "Region-locked" and Gankyou

#

Blame my brain fart

#

I went to Discord tag first instead of nickname

rapid oxide
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

forest raven
#

Another chance for a team like FG to show they're actually a big fish in a small pond and not actually a small fish in a really small pond

#

But no

#

Not invited

toxic yacht
#

just type /nick ChangeYourFuckingUsernameToGankyou

#

I always use /nick because it's fast and stuff

clever wagon
#

I'm too much of an idiot to know Discord commands

pseudo sail
#

hey ppl icymi Monte did another point analysis video, it's on the main subreddit if you don't follow him on twitter/youtube ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

clever wagon
#

No, not saying I don't want to know, just that I never bothered to

balmy wolf
#

But changing your nick is a lot easier than changing your username ' - '

clever wagon
#

Uhh

#

I don't even remember my original intention anymore tbh

#

Can we pass this by taking the conclusion that I am (was being) retarded

balmy wolf
#

what

#

just make your username gankyou and change your nick

clever wagon
#

Already did and reset my nick

#

This is my discord name

balmy wolf
#

????

clever wagon

Please forget it

8.3m NTD prize pool

#

270k USD ish

clever wagon
#

What's FG Blank's style of play?

spring lintel
#

I heard that they are so good

#

Maybe as good as those Korean teams

forest raven
#

@clever wagon I'm watching the final of the Oceanic Summer Series b/w Scylla Esports and Fusion Girls rn, and so far FG has run standard triple tank, but also triple tank, single support with a Mei in place of a Lucio

clever wagon
#

Huh, interesting

forest raven
#

This is just map 1

#

@clever wagon On Dorado FG switched to 2/2/2 with Rein/D.va and 76/Reaper on last point

clever wagon
#

Oh wow

#

Isn't that the beyblade comp (regardless of usage)

#

Olden days~

forest raven
#

FG nearly got rolled on defence but held a couple metres before Scylla finished the map

#

I think the Reaper was a desperation pick

#

@clever wagon On koth FG is running Tracer in place of 76 and now they're using Pharmercy

clever wagon
#

Nearly got rolled?

#

Hmmm

forest raven
#

Actually their Rein player is on Pharah and their Hog is now on Winston

#

Oh, FG won Dorado with 4:38 left on attack

clever wagon
#

Yeah Rqt mentioned their "jumpy" hero pools

forest raven
#

So FG ran standard triple tank, single support + Mei point defence, and a pharmercy dive where the Rein player played Pharah ๐Ÿค” @clever wagon

clever wagon
#

Yeah, definitely their "jumpy" hero pool at work

#

Lol

#

Would be interesting to see though

#

It's like when Super goes Tracer

forest raven
#

Yeah, there seems to be some flexibility there

#

Also, they went from winning 4-3 on Numbani, to winning Dorado with 4:38 in the bank, to 3-0'ing on Lijiang

forest raven
#

@clever wagon FG seems like a very brawly team, good on offence and good on static point defence

#

Their performance on payload defence was pretty lackluster

clever wagon
#

Aaah yeah that's what I like

#

I took interest in Evil and Selfless for the same reason

#

Brawly and aggressive

forest raven
#

They definitely seem like a koth team

clever wagon
#

Should watch a vod of them one of these days

clever wagon
#

Oh shite that's a pretty neat overlay

#

Oh fuk

#

I just realized "ieatuup" is "I eat u up"

forest raven
#

kek

clever wagon
#

That poke went on for quite some time but neither got more than 2 ults

#

Goddamn this is also some quite smooth camera work

forest raven
#

Yeah the production ain't bad

#

41 minutes

rapid oxide
toxic yacht
#

ah, came a but late

#

am here now

#

how badly did NiP rekted them on the first map?

wintry matrix
#

i think they only lost one fight on attack

#

but their defense was a bit scrappy

toxic yacht
#

NiP was always a bit... yeeeah on defense

#

also, mafu is so bad on dva that fragi should play her

wintry matrix
#

I mean, the first point was an alright defense, but Winghaven managed to carry and LK took the point, then it was one minute of NiP making questionable plays, then they stabilized on the bridge and hold

toxic yacht
#

ah, sounds just like NiP

#

LMAO, greyy

#

lmao, the ults

#

this is gonna be interesting

#

well, everyone is dead

quasi python
#

bracket link ?

toxic yacht
#

not sure if it's what you're looking for, but it somewhat work

digital pond
#

Nice to see NiP

toxic yacht
#

I liek NiP

digital pond
#

Zappis doing whatever the fuck he wants lmao.

toxic yacht
#

a lot

digital pond
#

Justy shooting nonstop

toxic yacht
#

zappis on genji again

digital pond
#

Pretty funny that there's no Winston or Rein.

toxic yacht
#

I wonder how much his weeb has improved since Assembly, I found it rather mediocre back then

digital pond
#

For NiP

toxic yacht
#

oh yeah, mafu's d.va is trash

#

so fragi, they're rein, must play her

digital pond
#

Gotcha

#

Seems to work right now at least v0v

toxic yacht
#

or maybe it's because mafu dpses better

#

I'm not that sure

digital pond
#

Zappis Genji seems solid.

toxic yacht
#

all I know is that they avoided running dva in the tank meta because thy needed fragi on rein

#

I'm gonna wait for his ult

#

but it looks good for now

digital pond
#

Wait did Laser Kitten acquire Bench Boyz?

#

I feel like I read it and forgot it.

toxic yacht
#

oh wait, he blew his ult

#

yee, they got the bb dudes

digital pond
#

Rip

toxic yacht
#

wtf is this map, lmao

digital pond
#

That was... Weird?

toxic yacht
#

0-99 -> 99-99 -> someone wins

#

on both stages

digital pond
#

Lmao

#

Zappis saving the day.

toxic yacht
#

zappis is so good

digital pond
#

His McCree looks sweet af

toxic yacht
#

and flexible

#

well, he's forced to flex due to NiP's playstyle

digital pond
#

Gotcha

toxic yacht
#

this is gonna be another 99-99

#

lmao

digital pond
#

rip

toxic yacht
#

tfw you ignore roadhog

#

and he kills your whole team

#

reverse sweep?

#

I don't mind if it goes to map 3, I want to see more NiP

#

lmao, that reset

#

NiP getting fucking bullied

balmy wolf
#

Greyy LULUS

toxic yacht
#

lol, took you a while to wake up polo

#

also, Hymzi in something that's not Hog pogchimp

#

...did people just forget how to play vs mercy?

rapid oxide

๐Ÿ˜ป

toxic yacht
#

Laser Kittenz won 2 stages because of a rez

#

kyb in hog makes me sad

#

wtf was that defense

#

also, Zaprey thinks he's SoOn zaryalol

Selfless?

#

are they pulling a selfless now????

balmy wolf
#

o rip nesh

toxic yacht
#

ah, they pulled back

#

nesh being dead sucks too, although they evened out

balmy wolf
#

ANOTHER WASTED GRAV

#

Zappis' pulse bombs are terrible tbh

toxic yacht
#

lul

#

he's kind of forced to flex on every dps

#

including the ones he's not that good on :/

balmy wolf
#

Yeah I feel like this meta isnt for NiP

toxic yacht
#

and hymzi just doing hymzi things

#

before dying

balmy wolf
#

Damn dude

#

That was a great hold

toxic yacht
#

yes, that was

#

I'm actually really impressed

#

but NiP also just doing NiP things

#

and making decisions I cannot relate to at all

balmy wolf
#

kek

toxic yacht
#

lul

#

sadly they're in different groups

balmy wolf
#

inb4 Laser Kittenz is top of group with 0 losses

toxic yacht
#

zaprey ded

balmy wolf
#

Mirror selfless comp

toxic yacht
#

playing vs hymzi actually seems like on of the most frustrating things ever

#

hymzi and snizzlenose

#

rip hymzi, lul

#

and yee, zuppehw is back

#

hmmm, kyb is kind of good at the game

balmy wolf
#

The sleep

#

Daaamn

toxic yacht
#

he should have waited a bit for the sleep

balmy wolf
#

Still has visor ye

toxic yacht
#

but yes, zuppehw is pretty impressive concerning sleeps

digital pond
#

Oh wow Mei

balmy wolf
#

lul that hook from Hymzi

toxic yacht
#

wtf kyb

digital pond
#

Kyb lmao

balmy wolf
#

lul gg

toxic yacht
#

I too, enjoy getting reverse sweep'd

digital pond
#

What a fucking monster

balmy wolf
#

The easy reverse sweep bois

toxic yacht
#

not sure if they threw

balmy wolf
#

Oasis was a lot more even

toxic yacht
#

or if laser kittenz is that good

balmy wolf
#

Kings was pretty dominant

digital pond
#

Poor Zappis

toxic yacht
#

I love it when the entire team that lost instantly quits

digital pond
#

I mean it was a reverse sweep. I wouldn't feel great either

balmy wolf
#

Everyone expected great things from NiP

#

Honestly I have no idea why

#

I expected them to be pretty bad coming into this tourney

waxen root
#

nip reinventing their own wheel somehow

#

idk why they dont just play triple tank lol

#

honestly

#

they played dive in scrims and stuff

toxic yacht
#

triple tank with zappis on 76/mei

#

would probably have worked

waxen root
#

always played differnet shit every scrim

toxic yacht
#

I feel like they're trying to figure out what to do when tank stacking won't work that well, lul

#

they're a one-trick pony atm concerning comps

waxen root
#

theyve always been

#

they were never a tier 1 team before tank stacking+ana was a thing

#

they always played roadhog

#

since beta

#

it wasnt until ana meta came they were a really solid team

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

toxic yacht
#

at least they're trying

#

it's a bit late

#

but maybe it'll lead to something good

waxen root
#

idk why tho...

#

they can easily make their meta work still lol

#

especially on KR

#

idk why theyre changing it up

#

we learned dealing with tanks much more but nip still gave us problems more often than not

#

in scrims that is

#

maybe everyone learned dealing with it more and they felt like they had to change? idk

toxic yacht
#

maybe they underestimated laser kittenz and used them to experiment a bit and ended up throwing? I'm really curious about they're thought process

waxen root
#

no

#

they played dps heroes in scrims against us

#

tried dive aswell and failed miserably

toxic yacht
#

lol

#

I remember watching them try to dive back at assembly

#

it was hilarious

#

apparently they didn't improve, lul

balmy wolf
#

Seems NiP really are just a one trick team

#

Which isn't a bad thing

#

But at least run your comp lol

toxic yacht
#

rogue is also a one-trick and it works

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

same with selfless

waxen root
#

yea idk why nip changes it up

toxic yacht
#

well, you guys are in the same group with Misfits. Dunno when you're playing them, but good luck lol

#

it won't be easy

#

also, this wasn't posted for some reason

#

Did I already say that Ajax is fucking hilarious? Because he's fucking hilarious

balmy wolf
#

jeez

#

that break

#

Oh wow

#

Cooller is level 1800

#

I still wonder how they will pronounce Ex-Rox's reins name lul

#

What the hell

#

Why did he dragonblade that

#

Oh

digital pond
#

Lmao.

balmy wolf
#

Back to Zarya

#

right

#

His ally fucking killed him

#

Leaf was reflecting tons of shit XD

balmy wolf
#

lel

#

Also damn Dummy's sleeps are ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป @toxic yacht

digital pond
#

Yeah, Rogue made that comp zaryalol

balmy wolf
#

Running Winston + Road with no Ana is what caused Ex-Rox's loss there methinks

quasi python
#

eunited = tamiya

#

lol

balmy wolf
#

?

wintry matrix
#

is liquipedia half kill?

#

as in bugged UI

balmy wolf
#

Yeah something's up

toxic yacht
#

the liquipedia page is hilariously broken

balmy wolf
#

eU lost before the 1st match even starts

onyx hull
#

junk vs pharmercy lol

balmy wolf
#

Wonder why they ran junk at all tbh

#

It was a dive defence + junk

#

Very strange

onyx hull
#

rip ults

onyx hull
#

mercy bad

#

Kruise is actually really good at Genji man

#

Damn that was quite the stomp

onyx hull
#

vivi didnt protect their supports

balmy wolf
#

Kruise the god

toxic yacht
#

reminder that kruise used to dps back in the beta!

#

he even played gengu

onyx hull
#

lol they just ignored the tracer

#

kruise was wiping vivi's supports so easily

balmy wolf
#

Yeah they just kind of ignore Kruise

#

And focus on Vallu

it will freeze discord and need to be closed with task manager

Same.

#

I just open them in a browser.

spring lintel
#

Is there a mobile app for matches or something?

forest raven
#

There's the gosu match ticker plug in for browsers @spring lintel

spring lintel
#

What about for phones?

forest raven
#

No clue

spring lintel
#

I like to know if there are matches before turning on my laptop

#

I got the browser one tho

#

It's very nice

balmy wolf
#

You could just open your browser on your phone and check gosu or over.gg

#

or another site that lists tournament times

#

Yes, its very slow and clunky but it still gets the job done

spring lintel
#

Can safari have plugins?

balmy wolf
#

and you have no alternatives

#

No idea, I dont have an iphone

spring lintel
#

Or so I have to install another browser?

#

What browser do you use?

balmy wolf
#

Chrome

#

Android doesnt have Safari

#

And I meant just going to the website

#

not installing the extension on your phone

#

which i dont think you can even do

forest raven
spring lintel
#

What is this ?

balmy wolf
#

can you delete it or a mod then

#

im new so i didnt know where to link streams, its not mine

forest raven
#

@quartz wren

quartz wren
#

@balmy wolf @forest raven Since it's not your own stream, you should only link it if it's relevant to the discussion (in, for instance, #general-discussion)

balmy wolf
#

o okay

#

sorry if it was put of place

quartz wren

It's okay ๐Ÿ˜›

thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š

According to TISRobin Lucid mentioned that he's out of KD Uncia on stream :/

#

He was a pretty solid Ana with sleepdarts that were literally Whoru homing missiles, am gonna miss him

balmy wolf

Thankfully I dont care about any Korean teams

right

toxic yacht

It's only because they're black

balmy wolf
digital pond
#

That sucks for him he saved them quite a bit.

balmy wolf
#

Honestly I dont even know who KD Uncia are

digital pond
#

Yeah assumed so from your message.

balmy wolf
#

Was joke

#

I know who they are

#

But it's true I dont care

kindred brook
#

Why no care about Koreans?

balmy wolf
#

probably because they dominate all scenes they're in

#

so i just dont really like them

#

not their fault obviously

kindred brook
#

Oh haha

balmy wolf
#

I know it seems petty to not like a group of people because they're very good at videogames

#

But it's just kind of boring and annoying seeing your favourite EU or NA teams lose so hard to Koreans

#

like "oh look, another game dominated by korea"

#

"yay"

forest raven
#

Hmm

#

3-2 LW Blue

balmy wolf
#

pls runaway

forest raven
#

You? @pseudo sail

balmy wolf
#

let runaway win so that a thousand year reign of bad pink sweaters will sweep the earth

pseudo sail
#

3-0 or 3-2 for LW Blue; not sure.

balmy wolf
#

Inb4 3-2 Runaway

edgy remnant
pseudo sail
#

Oh my god, if RunAway win now the subreddit will lynch me like they did w/ Elbin, given what my upcoming "prediction" article is ๐Ÿ˜…

forest raven
#

lul

balmy wolf
#

LuxuryWatch ๐Ÿ†š RUNaWAY

edgy remnant
#

that's why you write a different article predicting RunAway winning

#

it's like hedging your bets

balmy wolf
#

NEW PATCH

#

LETS GO

pseudo sail
#

I don't think they'll win though ๐Ÿ˜„

balmy wolf
#

oh

#

just the bastion nerfs

#

pseudo sail
#

It's played on 1.8

balmy wolf
#

Oh no wait

#

I forgot that was a big update kek

edgy remnant
#

My lootboxes are on LW

forest raven
#

balmy wolf
#

Runaway reverse sweep

forest raven
#

That would be a pogchimp

balmy wolf
#

Goodmorning everyone :3

forest raven
#

Howdy, Tou!

balmy wolf
#

I'm also calling LW

forest raven
golden olive
#

Let's goooooo Runaway!!

edgy remnant

#

forest raven
#

edgy remnant
#

Sold out in 2 minutes tho thenkang

balmy wolf
#

r e k t

forest raven
#

Whelp

clever wagon
#

Aha RunAway LW Blue

#

Will this be another upset

#

KaiserSMUG

balmy wolf
#

Would Runaway winning even be considered an upset anymore?

clever wagon
#

Idk

balmy wolf
#

Why are they acting like the D.Va fix is going to change a lot lol

forest raven
#

This music is banging

clever wagon
#

Why does this song sound like Lazy Town at the start lul

balmy wolf
#

You have to have god level reflexes to eat gravs at this level

#

lol

toxic yacht
#

not really

spring lintel
#

Is LW blue good?

toxic yacht
#

it's rather common to eat gravs at this level

spring lintel
#

Never watched them

clever wagon
#

"good" is a bit of an understatement

toxic yacht
#

a lot of players telegraph their ults hardcore

spring lintel
#

So it's gonna be even?

clever wagon
#

They're pretty good

toxic yacht
#

even at this level

balmy wolf
#

I've only ever seen Mickie ever do it

spring lintel
#

But runaway is more powerful

toxic yacht
#

It's been done by so many people that I stopped counting

balmy wolf
#

Really? I'm way behind then lol

clever wagon
#

I mean not really

balmy wolf
#

I guess you can also anticipate it if Zarya is being obvious

clever wagon
#

Yeah RunAway did that major upset but that's only once

balmy wolf
#

We'll see

#

I'm just hoping for not a 3-0

toxic yacht
#

I say LW Blue

clever wagon
#

Not saying they're inferior but if they can beat LW Blue this time it's finally actual proof they're one of the top tier teams

toxic yacht
#

there a more well rounded team

clever wagon
#

I mean yeah I'm rooting for Stitch the nr.1 KR qt and KaiserSMUG but they need to beat LW to proof that LH wasn't just a one time thing

balmy wolf
#

@clever wagon "cool beauty" ? >w>

clever wagon
#

Yes

#

From that anime

forest raven
balmy wolf
#

?

stoic dragon
#

I personally think itll be Runaway vs Meta Athena

#

either way should be fun

golden olive
#

Yea same here,

clever wagon
#

KAISER PLS ARRANGE FOR THE RUNAWAY JERSEY TO BE SOLD OVERSEAS OH GOD

golden olive
#

Today is the Stitch and Haksal show

clever wagon
#

Fuckin wear it daily outside I won't even care

spring lintel
#

How do they have 8 players ๐Ÿค”

balmy wolf
#

What do you mean

#

Stitch is like 12 omg

spring lintel
#

They showed 8 players

golden olive
#

6 and a coach?

balmy wolf
#

Yeah their roster is 8 players

clever wagon
#

He's the nr.1 KR qt

spring lintel
#

๐Ÿค”

#

Okay

golden olive
#

They only play 6 at a time, they can switch out people

balmy wolf
#

LH had 8 aswell

#

Before the dean and leetaejun incident

clever wagon
#

Saebyeolbe~

toxic yacht
#

dusty surge
#

clever wagon
#

Baebyeolbe~

dusty surge
#

Pretty neat.

stoic dragon
#

saebyeolbe was fucking insane last game

golden olive
#

Flower vs Haksal who is a better Genji?

toxic yacht
#

haksal

#

lol

stoic dragon
#

Haksal better genji

spring lintel
#

The guy in the middle is like 12

golden olive
#

Yea Saeby was in god mode last game

stoic dragon
#

Flower better all around player

toxic yacht
#

I'd put haksal close to shadowburn, tbh

#

somewhere around that level

golden olive
#

Flower's hair kills me lol

toxic yacht
#

if I were to compare flower nanohana to someone I'd say that he's more like tviq

stoic dragon
#

^

#

his pool is ridiculous

clever wagon
#

Baebyeolbe's KB is fokin lit

toxic yacht
#

super good genji, but flexible as fuck overall

forest raven
#

Three best players in the world are Tviq, Surefour and Nanohana

balmy wolf
#

*DPS

forest raven
#

imo overall because they can all play over half the roster at the pro level

balmy wolf
#

I'd love to see any of them play rein for their team kek

forest raven
#

ikr

balmy wolf
#

See them throw so hard

stoic dragon
#

that's Janus and Kaiser's job to fuck up

#

i actually feel bad for them

#

they're only shown when they either get a huge shatter

#

or fuck up badly

balmy wolf
#

I get it

stoic dragon
#

sorry guy. i already got it

golden olive
#

Cant wait to see overwatch league put all the best teams in the world up against each other

balmy wolf
#

#

Looking up increases Dragonblades range @spring lintel

#

Thats probably what it was

spring lintel
#

That was way too far

#

Not normal

forest raven
#

Haksal was standing on the bridge, Saey was just past the archway as Tracer

#

Haksal slashed

clever wagon
#

I thought like it's just a tournament realm where XP function is disabled or smth

forest raven
#

Saey was dead

spring lintel
#

Oh

edgy remnant
spring lintel

Trying torb is one thing, but sticking with him on point B when you got noting out of it on A was so dumb

stoic dragon
#

he also ran to Kox when he was sticky bombed

golden olive
#

Yea. He needs to get his head straigh and stick to what he is great at

stoic dragon
#

he shotcalls for the team, right?

forest raven
#

Yep

stoic dragon
#

i dig his enthusiasm after a win too

#
