are the PIT games being streamed on youtube?

Nice to see devs watching apex
limber pine
i suspect they watch a lot of esports than we think they do
pine peak
The amount of retard spam on twitch streams during apex S2 matches is astonishing
jovial eagle
twitch is 50% stream, 50% emotes
clever wagon
No more poopdo in chat? Sad
I now just realized that TSM is the Team SoloMid from other games
Moment of enlightenment
limber pine
twitch streams have terrible amounts of bad spam?
I'm shocked by this new development

"what is happening"
basically he explained what everyone thinks when watching overwatch tournaments

Overwatch PIT has released the first week of matches for the NA region. You can see the standings and schedule here: http://overwatchpit.com/na-schedule-standing/
Matches begin tomorrow and will be played 3 games a day at 16:00, 17:30, and 19:00 PDT respectively. (+3 hours for EDT, +9 hours for CEST).
clever wagon
What does that translate to in the language of GMT+7 @limber pine
When you wish every tournament site is as thoughtful as OCS was when they used user local time zone
balmy wolf
you could just google it
clever wagon
Really?
clever wagon
Can't you at least catch the first 2 if you have to wake up in the morning
Well, the first at least
Unless you got a daily business that prevents you from doing so
That extends to such hours
balmy wolf
yeah 
@vestal mortar
the troubles of being irish and wanting to watch NA tournaments
: c
vestal mortar
I will try watch as many as I can but I do need to get up at 8 every morning
clever wagon
Get up at 8 or get to whereever you need to be at 8
vestal mortar
Get up π
balmy wolf
I dont think anyone wakes up at midnight or 2am
clever wagon
Welp
balmy wolf
lol
clever wagon
My sleep schedule's been fucked ever since I got into college, now I sleep at like 12-1 AM and automatically wakes up at 6.30 the latest
I haven't known <insert normal sleep duration> (is it like 6 or 8?) for years
vestal mortar
There will probably be a period of time between graduating uni and getting a job where I will be the most up to date with OW esports I have ever been. π
clever wagon
Then again it's because my classes start at 10 AM this semester
If I had one at 8 I'd wake up at 5 with roughly the same sleep hours
vestal mortar
Maybe it'd be easier to move to a better timezone for esports viewing π€
sick musk
hello everyone
does anyone know where I can find NA tournaments I can sign my team up for?
limber pine
@sick musk check the r/Overwatch sidebar. It has some weeklies and tourneys you can look at
sick musk
cool thanks!
clever wagon
When you remember Harb has been having wrist issues

Apex match times suit me great personally. π
jagged crater
have to watch vods or highlights
which doesnt feel as nice cuz it isnt live
before teh season started, LH and NV were the favorites?
meta athena coming out of the unknown
to surprise us with those creative strats
didnt surprise me that nv would lose tho, the meta did not favor this time

@vestal mortar Same here, 6am my time so watch them at work.
vestal mortar
@balmy wolf there's no way we're getting a chance to be in the world cup again, ahh sure we were pretty embarassing last time anyway π’
balmy wolf
yeah 
I wish we had a chance
But we're not climbing 17 spots in average SR in like a month
so RIP
Im in the top 100 aswell
π
vestal mortar
You are single handedly raising our average haha
balmy wolf
Yeah seems that way lol
vestal mortar
I haven't played any ranked this season or last due to hand problems, dunno if I could make a difference if I decided to play to help our average
limber pine
current rankings: https://worldcup.playoverwatch.com/en-us/
balmy wolf
I wish you could somehow see the top 100 in your country
Because if our average is 3510
and I'm 3830
Then I'm definitely up there
spring lintel
Lol theres a random team called hammers esport
Didnt they just steal the real team's name? π€
balmy wolf

They're the new roster
balmy wolf

I will not accept an Australian team with Muselk as long as Fusion Girl members are alive
rapid oxide
Do you think italians are way better than your country?

Any country is way better than my country
balmy wolf
tbh Australia's WC team should just be Fusion Girls

Literally
balmy wolf
I doubt theres anyone better
vestal mortar

silk linden
carry them polo
balmy wolf
Yeah sorry, its impossible for one person to raise 99 other peoples average SR by 300
silk linden
add them and 6 stack
balmy wolf
6 stack with 99 people?
silk linden
5 at a time
balmy wolf
rapid oxide
Fusion girls + custa
I'm hoping for the full Muselk Meme Team from Australia this year.
solid spear
Cant wait to see all my boys not make the team
pine star
They work well together to troll around
clever wagon
fan selected teams
Not again, but cant be helped
GOD pls not meme team,Aus deserves Fusion Girls to lead the spear holy fk
And France probably will not gonna be better off with the fans not voting for FUCKING ROGUE ROSTER
pine star
What are you talking about? @clever wagon
balmy wolf
The worldcup
digital pond
I hope France votes for whatever they want it's fun at the end of the day.
If they send all of Rogue so be it.
balmy wolf
I dont want another shit team again
Yeah whatever its fan votes but like
Its either streamers or pros
and i'd rather it be pros
digital pond
Well my hope is they vote for Rogue.
balmy wolf
so its an interesting tourney
digital pond
But if they don't it's a lighthearted competition so I won't die out.
It's not like we're sending the French Muselk
So we're safe.
balmy wolf
They did last time
digital pond
Yeh I'm hoping they learned from it. But we're a stubborn people.
pine star

Isn't the format a voted committee chooses the teams or something like that?
"Once the Top 32 countries are identified, players from those countries will need to work together to assemble their 2017 Overwatch World Cup National Committee. Each national committee will consist of three local experts, who will be charged with recommending roster picks for all stages of the competitionβincluding the BlizzCon finals! These committees have a key role to play in team selection, suggesting line-ups based on playersβ synergies, hero pools, and past game performances.
The selection process for each national committee which consist of two phases. First, we will select up to ten nominees per eligible country with expertise in the field, including analysts, coaches, statisticians, and other authorities in the Overwatch esports community. From there, players in each of those countries will vote for who they want to see selecting the roster for their nation."
You vote the committee, not the players themselves
The committee selects the roster
vestal mortar
Like represent your country on a team?
First of all your country has to be in the top 32
Then vote on a committee for your country
And then it seems like the committee chooses the players to represent each country
balmy wolf
You should also probably note that you likely have an easier chance of getting picked if you're in the top 100 for your country
sick musk
Time to grind
balmy wolf
Im already in my country's top 100
But my country is 49/50 so
we're not qualifying
iron cedar
Where you from?
balmy wolf
Ireland
The average SR for our Top 100 players is 3510
And I'm 3774
Was 3823 earlier today
vestal mortar
balmy wolf
:dropping:*
balmy wolf
Yeah see thing is, the higher up your country is on the list the harder it is to be picked
Because the average SR for the top 100 players rises
silk linden
ireland is like 4M people. I think this server could vote polo into the team if we wanted
vestal mortar
The issue would be getting to the top 32 countries π
sick musk
pomp
balmy wolf
Its just pretty much impossible for us to raise our average by 300+SR
sick musk
have you ever heard of a guy named Exxu?
balmy wolf
Oh really?
sick musk
I just found out that he's semi famous in the community
balmy wolf
I didnt think he was on one
Yeah he was Top 50 in season 2
and top 100 in season 3
and is active on this server
and has a... specific personality
that is hard to forget
sick musk
indeed π
silk linden
if you think about it, this system is gonna reward countries with higher population
since from a bigger pool, you're bound to have a top 100 that's more solid
silk linden
it's the same as most international games though, to be fair
balmy wolf
I probably could have gotten on last years team if I wasnt under 18
silk linden
like, when the Chinese and the Aemricans boast about all the olympic medals they win
balmy wolf
I looked up last years irish team on overbuff and they're all 3-3.7k
silk linden
I didn't know there was an age limit
balmy wolf
From the emails sent out last year http://i.imgur.com/DU0t3No.png
sick musk
oh rip
I'm under 18
I do have a passport though...
I'm actually flying to Vienna this summer
silk linden
are there minors in the pro scene?
sick musk
Well yeah
silk linden
I'd think so
vestal mortar
Gale isn't on a team though, is he?
sick musk
Not sure
silk linden
like, is this age restriction typical in esports?
it isn't in regular sports, not always
it just seems like a move on their part to make things easier
vestal mortar
Grimreality is 17
balmy wolf
There's a lot of pros that are under 18
silk linden
the pokemon world championship has age tiers, though I don't think they would prevent minors from competing in the higher tiers
balmy wolf
But this is Blizzcon
vestal mortar
Yep
silk linden
but, there's minors participating in major international tournaments all the time, in many disciplines
like math competitions, chess, Magic the gathering
Pokemon
hell, even regular sports
Italy's backup goalkeeper turned 18 a couple weeks ago
silk linden
and?
balmy wolf
It's different?
silk linden
how?
balmy wolf
honestly i dont even know why im trying to argue this, I dont agree with it either
it makes no sense
vestal mortar
lol
balmy wolf
like there were teams in the Atlantic Showdown at Gamescom that had 16 and 17 year olds
silk linden
as I said, it's just a move on their part to make things easier for them
balmy wolf
But Blizzard only lets 18+ play
digital pond
They probably don't want the responsability and lioability to care for people under 18.
At least if you're 18 and get in problems it's your own damn problem.
silk linden
there's a thing called guardian
delicate sparrow
I just hope that teams with decent potential don't get stuck with streamers that can't really pull their weight this year
digital pond
Yeah and then they have to pay for the guardian too.
Unless for some reason someone's parent has tons of money stached to the side for "If my kid becomes an esport pro" funds.
silk linden
Every single competition does
digital pond
It's cheaper and easier for them.
silk linden
it's just blizzard that do this
digital pond
Yeah cause it's cheaper and easier for them.
digital pond
I mean there's an age limit in LCS too.
I don't think this will like limit people's chances to go pro being under 18 or anything.
I wish they didn't limit it, I just understand why they do it.
In term of it being better for them as a company.
Hopefully OWL will be more accomodating.
vestal mortar
Do they have to get entertainment visas or something for everyone participating in the world cup outside of NA?
vestal mortar
Jaysus that's a lot of work haha
digital pond
Yeah. Have to have every person checked out, make sure they have passeports if they are from the US. Then they have to be screened
Then Blizz needs to do all the junk to bypass interviews.
And give detailed schedule and info etc etc.
It's a pain in the ass.
vestal mortar
certainly sounds like a pain in the ass haha
waxen root
no
dont need entertainment visas
for most of eu countries, its just estas
its like a vacation in america
if you stay for over 3months, then u need a p1 (athlete)visa
digital pond
Guess it depends. EU recently asked to void free entry from the USA.
Not sure countries followed through, but I mainly spoke of it for NA really.
The situation is a bit sucky right now.
But otherwise vacation trip would be easy. I'm just used to people going directly for Visas like in the LCS.
Or Dota 2.
But that was mainly for asian players to come to the US so I guess it makes sense.
fringe terrace
Can someone explain to me how Worlds for Overwatch works? How does a team get made? It is pre determined by players or is it only the top players who develop their teams after making it in the top 100?
fringe terrace
thanks well this sucks
balmy wolf
solid spear
What happens if you're like French like rogue but playing on Na servers
How would you qualify as top 100 in France
balmy wolf
Because you're from there
jovial eagle
what are we talking abut now
balmy wolf
It's not like Harry, Cocco and Chips were choices last year for the US just because they were there
They were choices for their countries
silk linden
so, how do they calculate each country's coefficient? They take into account from where each player is connecting?
jovial eagle
why do we care again?
silk linden
If chipsajen weren't a know esport player, there would be no way to tell he's swedish since he connects from US, and so he would contribute to the US ranking
balmy wolf
If he werent a known esports player he wouldnt be in the US
silk linden
why not
plenty of people move
say you moved to the uk
you're still irish
but you'd still hit 3.8k connecting from the UK
so are you contributing to Ireland or to the UK ranking?
balmy wolf
Well when you make your battle.net account you input your country of residence
silk linden
k
balmy wolf
so its that country unless you contact customer support
jovial eagle
by that logic
balmy wolf
to change it
balmy wolf
who are a bunch of good pro players who stream?
im not too familiar with the competitive/esports overwatch scene
and i want to follow a bunch of good people on twitch to kinda learn how to put my head on straight
i haven't really figured out my role yet
silk linden
I'd say check the overwatch page on twitch, look the stream titles and the name of the streamers, and if you see team tags it means they are pro players
because lots of pros stream
jovial eagle
if not all
balmy wolf
Iddqd streams regularly
jovial eagle
seagull is the chillest
balmy wolf
But the majority of pros dont stream regularly like other streamers who have streaming as their job
silk linden
for example, if I open the OW twitch page now, I see Internethulk, but I only recognize him because I know Envyus is the name of a team
jovial eagle
ster is pro streamer
balmy wolf
π
silk linden
he's not a pro gamer that streams
silk linden
see, Chips is streaming too, but he has 95 viewers, casuals wouldn't recognize him
I think twitch could implement some way to indentify pro players that stream
jovial eagle
having a verified or something
balmy wolf
You can just check their communities
jovial eagle
i think veex means a more straightforward and obvious distinction
silk linden
you can check a lot of stuff polo. But if twitch implemented something it would be cooler
yeah, like a badge or something
balmy wolf
idk, searching the teams name and then finding all the players that stream under that team seems pretty easy and obvious to me
silk linden
but what if you don't know the names of the teams
balmy wolf
Then research
silk linden
Like, Chips just has the word "Envy" in his stream title, how would a casual know what that's about
Polo GDI obviously you can research, but if twitch made it more obvious it would be cooler for the casual audiencese to get into the pro scene
balmy wolf
If you actually want to get into the pro scene then you would do research and find out these things
Like people arent idiots
silk linden
I know, but how is giving them better tools a bad thing?
balmy wolf
Just research it and you'll find the streamers easily
jovial eagle
it's a good way for an easy distinction
silk linden
I'm proposing a thing that would make things easier, your saying "this thing is already doable in a harder way"
jovial eagle
because you'll get extreme casual twitch viewers
balmy wolf
search up "overwatch professional teams" find some players and search them on twitch
silk linden
Like, no shit
jovial eagle
who wouldn't research otherwise
balmy wolf
Yeah obviously it would make things easier
jovial eagle
by your logic pomp, there's no reason to have an distinction
because people will do it themselves
you want the viewers who won't
more viewers more monies
muny
balmy wolf
if they actually cared at all about watching these pro players stream to try and get better, they would do research
delicate sparrow
surefour has the best combination of good stream/genuine talent imho but he doesn't really stream all that much
silk linden
say someone didn't even think about following the pro scene, but then sees the pro badge on a streamers, thinks "might as well check it out" and gets hooked
balmy wolf
Yeah sure
silk linden
Polo that's a shit reasoning
delicate sparrow
seagull obvi has the best stream but a lot of people think he's not that good of a player
balmy wolf
Sounds good
silk linden
like, hella shit
balmy wolf
But will it happen?
jovial eagle
seagull plays with the team
balmy wolf
doubt it
silk linden
I don't know, I just thought it's be cool
jovial eagle
otherwise he's pretty amazing
balmy wolf
He almost exclusively solos as of late
jovial eagle
no i mean playstyle
silk linden
You know what, this could be done with an external app/site actually
jovial eagle
not solo queue
balmy wolf
oh right
silk linden
One which crossreferences a database of pros and shows which ones are curently streaming
Too bad I'm still learning coding, this is a good idea
delicate sparrow
in terms of tournemant performance seagull's team hasn't really done much in ages
like the last tournament they really placed in was like....last summer
jovial eagle
im still excited though
delicate sparrow
yeah the new nrg line up looks strong
jovial eagle
seagull has the talent and skills to legitimately carry a team
but he doesn't have that mindset
it's all about the team
to me at least
delicate sparrow
last time they placed
they played in winter premier but barely made it to playoffs iirc
overwatch open they placed like......fourth or something
and that's the best they've done since
balmy wolf
And 3-4th in APAC
delicate sparrow
really poor performance for a team with that much hype
balmy wolf
balmy wolf
You're either way overhyping them or not recognising their performance
silk linden
the hype is just due to Seagull and Shaq, but it's not like they are shit
balmy wolf
There was barely any hype
silk linden
yeah, what polo said
balmy wolf
All the hype has been surrounding the new roster
It was just "Shaq buys mix^" "seagull and shaq" blah blah blah
delicate sparrow
you have to admit that nrg is the fan favorite team for people that don't really follow the scene that closely
jovial eagle
to be honest
balmy wolf
Not really
silk linden
being fan favorite doesn't mean people were actually overrating them
jovial eagle
this past month reading the comments in this channel is just
"everyone's throwing"
"lol t2 team"
so yeah, to me nrg looks amazing now
delicate sparrow
I mean that's this channel only pretty much
and places where people pay a lot of attention to the scene
jovial eagle
considering the attitude the people in this channel has
i assume they're well versed in the pro scene
now in my head im just "all teams are shit"
the c9 stuff though is funny
balmy wolf
Well its mostly actual discussion but sure, its only "hehe every team is throwing" "lol these are such tier 2 scrubs xddd"
jovial eagle
even in discussions it's shitting on players
silk linden
I think it's actually a good sign, it means the scene is very balanced
jovial eagle
at least people still like shadder and shadowburn
balmy wolf
Yes, he's shit
jovial eagle
how did he get bad at genji thouh
balmy wolf
We dont know
Its literally like he just started throwing
His blades were terrible without nanos
even with a nano he sometimes fucked up
jovial eagle
are there legitimate esports journalism yet
balmy wolf
depends on what you call legit
jovial eagle
because i can't take anything people say seriously anymore
it's just criticism without analysis
delicate sparrow
I like seeing the announcers' reactions to esca on different days tbh because it's so night and day
balmy wolf
Esca is very inconsistent
delicate sparrow
yeah
balmy wolf
Thats how he became a meme and why everyone shits on him whenever he makes a not amazing play
silk linden
it's just like in regular sports, if you know where and how to look you'll find good analysis, but there will alway also be the people who go like "Zlatan is better than Ronaldo"
silk linden
I think inconsistencies really show a lot on hitscan dps mains
silk linden
Like, if you're having bad luck as a healer or tank, you still pull through
On hitscan dps, it's all or nothing
balmy wolf
That's why everyone reveres Tviq as a god
delicate sparrow
you can see it on reinhardts sometimes
balmy wolf
Because of how consistently good he is on so many heroes
silk linden
yeah
delicate sparrow
because they'll have days where all they do is just ult shields
balmy wolf
Whereas Esca
delicate sparrow
or they have crazy gamechanging plays
silk linden
it's a fixable flaw imho
delicate sparrow
I think it's largely just going to come down to time
delicate sparrow
overwatch is super new as an esport
balmy wolf
He hit really good pulse bombs
and othertimes
comepletely misses them
like 10m away from any person
silk linden
yeah, imagine how insane the players are gonna be in like, 2 years time
balmy wolf
And he's not like SoOn, where he can afford to miss one
because he builds them so fast
silk linden
we'll look at the playes of today and think "look at these scrubs, what are they doing"
oh yeah, Esca's pulse bomb misses were really evident
balmy wolf
Like i have one in my mind
still very vivid
of him coming on the left side of the last point
going down the stairs
silk linden
it's was basically like he didn't have a ult
balmy wolf
and he threw the bomb throw the door
onto the floor
completely missing a road
???
was ridiculous
and then on defence he hits like 2 triple bombs?

Even if people are arguing that popular streamers, bring more viewers
Just an example, the "when seagull is playing?" it's a very common question
But heh, seagull, harb and iddqd are pros and its ok
Muselk, timtheplatman, YourOverwatch, stylosa aren't
Also... Im pretty worried about some countries have a lot of pro players but since they aren't populated it doesn't gets any recognition
Haffi indeed (obviously?) is complaining

on one team, old TF2 boys Tvique and Zebbo. On the other, homeboy Veine. I'm conflicted
balmy wolf
I like Misfits way too much not to root for them
balmy wolf
I dont see a problem with that 
silk linden
I don't want to jerk Sweden's Esport Penis too much
silk linden
granted
balmy wolf
idc where they're from
silk linden
I wouldn't, if it weren't ALWAYS SCANDINAVIA
I just like more variety
Or Sweden is gonna become the EU's Korea
balmy wolf
Sweden already is EU's Korea
It's been like that for years
Thats just how it is
Like how koreans are usually always better than EU and NA players
Swedes are usually always better than other EU and NA players
silk linden
I just like countries alternating at the top, it means the competition is more widespread

Like, Brazil might have won 5 world cups, but at least it's out of 20

Next Overwatch :Alienware: Monthly Melee is APRIL 14TH, 15TH, and 16TH. Prize pool is $10,000.00.
Why three days? For April we're hosting a one day qualifier prior to regular play. Two slots from the regular eight will be earned through a sixteen team qualifier on April 14th, casted on our channel. Six of our eight teams will receive invites to play on April 15 and 16, and thus will not have to qualify.
Only five total matches will be streamed on day one (April 14), the rest of the qualifier matches will be played offstream:
- 1 Round of 8 match
- 2 Semis
- 2 Finals to qualify
Contact about invites will come next week. Our six invited teams will be contacted first, followed by qualifying teams. Additionally, I am also aware that the Overwatch Pit Series finals for EU will be playing on that Friday, thus we will not be inviting any participating EU Pit teams to the qualifier in order to avoid potential conflicts with their ability to play in both events."

Oh damn
Thats a lot of teams not able to play
This should be interesting

wintry matrix

balmy wolf
The Monthly Melee is having signups i think

Hmm, where do I go to sign up?
sick musk
Because I'm looking to get my team into a tournament but have been unable to find one so far
We are NA
golden olive

toxic yacht

balmy wolf
awww
tidal thicket
rip
balmy wolf
Dignitas choked so hard on their attack
golden olive
These tourneys always follow DPS
tidal thicket
bromas with the pro crash :^)
toxic yacht
Misfits 2 bajillion years of 2cp practice thanks to Apex
balmy wolf
yee
toxic yacht
I doubt that they had a chance, tbh
balmy wolf
Yeah the rest of the maps were pretty close though
toxic yacht
I missed it because train
Am gonna need to watch the vods
:/
What time does Apex start for you know?
toxic yacht
Yee, but I'm kinda confused by timezones + summer time
balmy wolf
11:30 for us sojum
balmy wolf
Cant wait to see LW Blue lose without Janus
I'm not too excited tbh
I wanna watch the finals already
golden olive
Yea the breaks between matches seems like forever in apex.
toxic yacht
Ayy, thanks polo
golden olive
Jan 17 - April 8 is forever.
waxen root
@balmy wolf we improved alot since first day, but also we match up better vs misfits than the other teams we played
balmy wolf
I see, it was a gg
I would have loved if that last match wasnt 2cp
Sameeee
Should have been payload :c
waxen root
misfits was clear favorite on 2cp
waxen root
korean experience
balmy wolf
With the amount they played in apex
balmy wolf
Nor do NA teams
waxen root
"why pracc 2cp we dont play it its useless"
balmy wolf
Everyone just hates 2cp
If Misfits doesn't win every 2cp in the group stage then I dunno
waxen root
then u get useless prac because opponent team sucks on the map
so cant improve even if u want to
we improved alot on hanamura/volskaya tho in the last week
toxic yacht
I'm pretty sure that this lack of 2cp practice is one of the reasons why Rogue beat nV back in august
balmy wolf
well Rogue didnt practice it either
EU and NA teams have ignored 2CP for whatever reason
toxic yacht
They said that they practiced it themselves
waxen root
we tried praccing it
but its useless
as i said
because people dont prac it they suck at it
so u just roll them
and dont learn shit
the last 1-2weeks we learned so much more on 2cp because people actually tried to play the map
because theres 2 of them in the pool for some reason
toxic yacht
Having an EU team that's actually decent at 2cp is gonna help though, right? Since you can actually scrim Misfits on this map
And yeah, banning 100%
toxic yacht
Especially since it added a lot of depth to the actual match
waxen root
well
misfits doesnt rly like scrimming us anymore
because for some reaosn we're always late
lol
toxic yacht
With map pools you can halfway predict the winner based off their good maps
waxen root
but yea we do scrim them a bit still
map draft would definitely have helped us a lot but honestly the pool system ogn had is pretty good
i really dislike what we have in pit tho
because our pool sucks
on 3maps, divecomp is stronger than tanks
on nepal its stronger on 2/3 points
and on hollywood, divecomp is probably also better to snowball and such
its a really shitty pool tbh
waxen root
they're fine if you get to know the maps early and if they're well balanced pools
not random shit with 2x 2cp in the pool of 5 maps
balmy wolf
I want to see a Dorado sometime
digital pond
I would like to see route 66 sometimes x.X
toxic yacht
At least apex allows you to see more maps
digital pond
Yeah my main love with APEX was more maps.
toxic yacht
Mostly hybrid and r66 though
digital pond
Even aside from gameplay.
toxic yacht
If blizzard wants to force out map banning, they should just do that
waxen root

Did I miss it already?

Oh good.
solid spear
Oh Sinatraa lul
solid spear
It's not a big deal
solid spear
I mean I'm speaking for the bm
Nothing wrong with that in a competitive game
But maybe that's my FGC side speaking
balmy wolf
When you're at such a higher tier than the other team, BM is just being a dick
dusty surge
Depends on the context. I tend to frown upon that if you don't know the other person. If they're ePals, then it's probably fine.
solid spear
I mean he beat him in a 1v1
dusty surge
That's what I thought considering he only barely won that.
