[dusty surge]

THe 76 predicted his recall pretty well

[balmy wolf]

Orisa

[dusty surge]

Polo: selfless is the expected winners here?

[balmy wolf]

Yeah definitely

[solid spear]

Ye

[dusty surge]

boof

rip stream?

[forest raven]

rip stream

[solid spear]

Rip

[dusty surge]

Have they not realized yet?

[balmy wolf]

ugh

These tournaments

always have production problems

AMM

Carbon aswell

Oh yeah

and that one actually has funding

ughhh

[forest raven]

@balmy wolf It's Twitch side, apparently

[balmy wolf]

Yeah I saw that in the chat during a carbon outage too

It didnt last this long though

[forest raven]

https://twitter.com/TwitchSupport/status/847592212384718849

[balmy wolf]

Oh man

I'm not gonna wait on this

[solid spear]

Damn it's as if they're trying to make me pay attention in class

Crazy

[balmy wolf]

Goodnight everyone

night

[solid spear]

Goodnight

There's a Russian stream lol but yeah

[forest raven]

Well it's back

[solid spear]

Oh good

[dusty surge]

Annnd it's gone.

Oh wait, no. nm.

[clever wagon]

Has there ever been any other city like Washington who took the initiative of bringing up NRG as their representative in other games?

[forest raven]

Dam Son

Gale doing real well on Volskaya

[dusty surge]

4-4 with 3 minutes to go.

Fuckin hell

[forest raven]

This dive + 76 is really doing work

[dusty surge]

Are the 2cp changes still PTR only?

[forest raven]

Yep

[silk linden]

clockwork playing Overwatch? That's new to me

[forest raven]

He was on NRG

[silk linden]

i know

[forest raven]

He was real bad on NRG

[silk linden]

I mean after nrg

[forest raven]

Went to Splyce

Now Gale Force

And he ain't doing that bad

[silk linden]

meta is more favorable to his playstyle now

[balmy wolf]

I wonder if he still hates Overwatch

[silk linden]

as in, he can play only tracer all the time

[balmy wolf]

Everytime the casters say Bani's name I think its tf2 Banny

lol

[silk linden]

yeah

it's even a team with shrugger and clockwork

[balmy wolf]

Splyce is the tf2 team tho

[silk linden]

inb4 Bani is B4nnys alt

[balmy wolf]

[forest raven]

omg

Selfless is playing a different comp

[silk linden]

you say they are the TF2 team, but I actually only recognize shrugger and clockwork

[balmy wolf]

wtf is this spam

[dusty surge]

Has the stream been flaky since it came back for anyone else?

[silk linden]

NRG are more of a TF2 team for me

[dusty surge]

Or is that just my crappy internet?

[balmy wolf]

Fine for me

[silk linden]

4 former TF2 players I know in NRG

[forest raven]

Selfless got rolled

lol

[balmy wolf]

Splyce has/had Shrugger, Moffitt, clockwork, ninjanick, syckness and pyyyour

[silk linden]

had

[balmy wolf]

not sure if others played tf2

[silk linden]

now NRG has them beat as far as former TF2 glory goes

[balmy wolf]

[forest raven]

Gale Force took a map

👏

[silk linden]

I'm still not used to zen's rc being viable. I need to practice

[forest raven]

idk if that win was because the 76 dive aggression worked well against Selfless or that Gale is just less wank at 2cp

[balmy wolf]

I think it was just Self< being bad at 2cp

[solid spear]

They just played well

Plus Volskaya

Is a terrible map

[forest raven]

How many times has Selfless won 2cp since the OMM?

Like once?

[silk linden]

which supports did selfless use to attack in 2cp?

[solid spear]

Ana Lucio

[silk linden]

see

you need zen

zen is better

[solid spear]

You can run him but

Ana is still broken so yeah

[silk linden]

the caster said it, against trickling zen is very good

[solid spear]

And they got 5 points

It's not as if they were struggling attacking

[silk linden]

I mean, it was 5-4, it was close, you're not gonna pin down a reason why it went one way or the other

[balmy wolf]

lul

that xp penalty

[silk linden]

galeforce getting cucked

[balmy wolf]

https://clips.twitch.tv/ExcitedAmericanNuggetsResidentSleeper

😴

Also what a surprise

Self< dominating koth

[forest raven]

rip

[balmy wolf]

playing pharah into dafran

with no mercy

[silk linden]

wasn't it ryujehong that said dealing with genji as Ana wasn't that much of a deal?

"just sleep them"

[balmy wolf]

tfw i was typing that in here and he kills everyone

[silk linden]

yeah lol

[forest raven]

CLG's Pharmercy did quite a bit of work against Selfless

[balmy wolf]

Well yeah

For jehong sleeps are no big deal

I will say this though

Clockwork is a nutty tracer

[silk linden]

yeah

only hero he can play

but he can play it good

[balmy wolf]

He's like SoOn

[silk linden]

I'm not sure he's my favorite tracer though

[balmy wolf]

Except SoOn is a god on all other hitscan aswell

[silk linden]

Like, I'm liking Sinatra more this match

[balmy wolf]

My favourite tracer is a hard choice

between 3 people

[silk linden]

I haven't watched OW much since Tracer became viable again

I assume the good tracers are the good 76s from old meta

[forest raven]

Surefour, Mendo, SoOn, Sinatraa, Saey

I'm sure there's a few more I'm not thinking of

[balmy wolf]

Vallu and Enigma

[forest raven]

Ye

[balmy wolf]

imo at least

Like back when Reu was at their peak

Vallu's tracer was godlike

And then that LG game vs C9 I think?

Dont remember the other team

but the game still sticks out in my mind

of Engima hardcarrying the entire team

on tracer

[dusty surge]

If you're like flipflopping through the air as Genji and get slept, do you lose all horizontal momentum and drop straight down?

[silk linden]

Surefour is one of my favorite hitscans, but I haven't watched his Tracer play much

[balmy wolf]

No

You keep momentum

[forest raven]

C9 hasn't done much in a while

Ryb and Mendo are still in Sweden

[balmy wolf]

so you will still follow the same path you would have if you jumped without moving in another direction

[dusty surge]

Ahh, okay.

[balmy wolf]

✂ @forest raven

[forest raven]

PLS

Ryb and Mendo are both amazing players and they got Bishop

[balmy wolf]

[forest raven]

[pearl aurora]

uh isnt there supposed 2 be a match rn 🤔

[balmy wolf]

yep

[forest raven]

Twitch has been having issues all day

[balmy wolf]

Takes them ages

Theres always a massive break between matches

[pearl aurora]

are they ever this long

i usually watch whenever i see

[balmy wolf]

no

they're usually like

10-15 minutes tops

[pearl aurora]

yeah thought so

[forest raven]

coL has another fucking player

[balmy wolf]

Yeah dude

Still trialing

No idea who this one is

[forest raven]

I've never seen a team trial this many players

[balmy wolf]

Team CarouseL

[forest raven]

kek

[balmy wolf]

they trust him enough to take one of the tjo brother's dps spots

[forest raven]

mhm

I like Rise

Mainly because Phaz is a giant shitposter

[balmy wolf]

thats not the only thing about him thats giant

[forest raven]

[balmy wolf]

[forest raven]

Also it looks like they've definitely improved since Vegas

[balmy wolf]

Yeah for sure

[clever wagon]

Team convoLuted

[solid spear]

I'm simply not convinced they can be a top team with this core even if Shake is special

[forest raven]

LUL

rip coL

[pearl aurora]

yeah rip col

[clever wagon]

Just realized, it's PIT isn't it

[forest raven]

Ye

[solid spear]

That fight lmao

[clever wagon]

That visor whut

[forest raven]

lol

Another round of teams having no idea how to play 2cp

[clever wagon]

So team convoLuted's core is down to 3, the TJO's and Joemeister?

[forest raven]

Shake

[balmy wolf]

They lost jkw and harb

[clever wagon]

I somehow don't remember Shake oh well

[balmy wolf]

I'm probably late to the party, but this stage looks legit af
http://i.imgur.com/GJVtIH8h.jpg

[clever wagon]

Is that the China tourney?

[pine star]

Taiwan*

[clever wagon]

Time for new tryouts for team convoLuted

[pine star]

I should tryout for coL 🤔

[jovial eagle]

i should tryout for a pro team

as their mascot

also i heard on the radio that blizzard built some sort of stadium for the asia pacific tournament in taiwan

currently living in taiwan

[pearl aurora]

im a bronze so ill prob get into coL

[forest raven]

"stadium"

It has folding chairs

More like a conference room

[pine star]

It's a nice conference room tho

[jovial eagle]

lol gg

i don't know what i expected

[clever wagon]

That rez sure did something

[pearl aurora]

orisa 👀

[pine star]

Who's playing rn??

[clever wagon]

LGE CLG

https://clips.twitch.tv/PreciousFineSandpiperPhilosoraptor Train is bullying The all round

[jovial eagle]

you know

i always get confused with the color

[clever wagon]

Don't see what's to be confused about in KOTH though

[pearl aurora]

eat my- eat my- eat my-

[clever wagon]

Non-koth maps yeah

KOTH never swaps colors

[forest raven]

LGE pls

[pearl aurora]

i love that hydration keeps out-justicing the justice

[jovial eagle]

it's more like

oh that's a red wall

wait who's red again

[pearl aurora]

it says on top

lg.evil

[jovial eagle]

i know

but i remember after rounds they'd switch colors

[forest raven]

LGE

[clever wagon]

Train just went cold on The after the Village map

Then again, LGE is probably trialing dive comp

What the fuck

Voll on Genji????

[forest raven]

ikr

[edgy remnant]

tfw lost connection to game server

lmao

[forest raven]

[edgy remnant]

penalized lmao

wew

nice shot

[clever wagon]

AIRSHOTTT

Train's also outclassing Waffle on Tracer

YEEE BOI PULSE BOMB ON POINT

Voll's doing pretty neat on Genji actually

[forest raven]

[edgy remnant]

dat rez

[clever wagon]

Avast and Rob's support clutch

[pearl aurora]

damm

i want clg 2 win but that rez

👌 👌 👌

[edgy remnant]

what the

[clever wagon]

CLG's terribly boxed in the point

Why aren't they spread out lul

[pearl aurora]

still waiting for overlay fix

[clever wagon]

Voll's starting to also rotate tank/dps

Nobody's contesting Jake

[forest raven]

Super on D.va and Voll on Winston

[balmy wolf]

[forest raven]

Western teams on 2cp

[clever wagon]

"Was a 1v1 smh"

[pearl aurora]

damn

[pine star]

"Super on D.Va and Voll on Winston"

Excuse me?

[clever wagon]

It happened

True story

Voll was on Soldier even

Not Train, not Jake

And Super only went Rein on their last point Hollywood defense

And Voll of all people was on Genji

[pine star]

What's next? Avast on McCree while Jake's on Rein?

[clever wagon]

It seems that they were using that match to do a shit ton of rotations/role swaps

Who knows tbh

And...

[pine star]

lol using CLG as test subject

[clever wagon]

I think Rob actually DIDN'T go Ana at all

Even CLG The did for a moment

[pine star]

Ok, I need to go back and watch that match

The actual fuck

[clever wagon]

Oh, also absolute 0 Roadhog pick from LGE

You should

Just the almost alien role swaps by LGE alone is worth it

0 Roadhog and Zarya pick

Train didn't switch off Tracer the whole game

[pine star]

What was Rob on then? Mercy and Zen?

[clever wagon]

yeah

[pine star]

Don't you fucking tell me he was on reaper or something

[clever wagon]

I think he did in an Anubis last point defense in like Carbon or OMM

Lul

Not this match

[pine star]

What is the world coming to

[forest raven]

@solid spear idd's in Canada and Numlocked is gonna be in LA in like 4/5 days

[solid spear]

my dick

Im ready

[forest raven]

Same

[pine star]

Hope they play on AMM

[forest raven]

Ye

[solid spear]

they should

[forest raven]

That's the 15/16th

[solid spear]

14-16

3 days this time

[pine star]

^

[forest raven]

Well, NRG aren't going to go through the qualifiers

[pine star]

You think EnVy and C9 will play on it?

[solid spear]

probably not

but well see

[forest raven]

Ryb and Mendo are still in Sweden for the foreseeable future

Taimou's in Finland

[pine star]

They need to play in something ffs

[digital pond]

Was so weird to see LD in OW.

So used to him casting Dota 2.

[wary falcon]

Who will win today? LWB or MA?

[forest raven]

3-2 LWB

[wary falcon]

Why 3-2?

MA has a good map pool

[forest raven]

MA has the skill to play against powerful dive teams as seen in their series against Lunatic-Hai, so I'd expect them to be able to take 2 maps against LWB as well

[pearl aurora]

when's the next matches

[forest raven]

Four hours

[pearl aurora]

fucc

[wary falcon]

In 4 hours

[forest raven]

3rd place match for APEX Season 2

LW Blue vs. Meta Athena

[pearl aurora]

ill just hope someone uploads it

[wary falcon]

I don't know their players except for a Sayaplayer and Hoon

i mean i know their names

[forest raven]

@pearl aurora The pins has a link to the vods for APEX

[wary falcon]

but their skill level is completely mystery for me

LWB seems much better

[digital pond]

Libero is the Hanzo/Mei player for MA.

[forest raven]

Libero's a great flex player, but his strength lies in his ability to flex

[digital pond]

His Hanzo is actually pretty nasty.

[forest raven]

Besides Hanzo and Mei, he's kinda weak, imo

[digital pond]

Like it's pretty silly.

Yeh.

He's heavily focused on those two.

But the thing with them is aside from the tanks they can swap a lot around.

[forest raven]

Nanohana's Genji > Libero's Genji

Saey's Tracer > Saya's Tracer

[wary falcon]

Nanohana is better player overall

Is Orisa available to pick today?

[forest raven]

I don't believe so

[wary falcon]

It hurts MA chances to win 😦

[clever wagon]

Oh you mean for Orisa for Apex

Almost thought competitive

[wary falcon]

Yupp

So no info?

[forest raven]

Pretty sure they're on the patch before Orisa

[clever wagon]

Yes

1.8

[balmy wolf]

How much longer till it starts?

[forest raven]

About an hour @balmy wolf

[solid spear]

So

Tired

But Apex

[forest raven]

rip

[balmy wolf]

Is there a lot of money on the line or does this not matter at all?

[forest raven]

3rd gets US$10k and 4th gets US$6.8k

[rapid oxide]

runaway are selling their pink jumpers! XD

[viral umbra]

Any interesting games today?

[rapid oxide]

LW Blue vs Meta Athena

[viral umbra]

Oh, nice. When is that going to be?

[rapid oxide]

in 50 minutes

from now

link in channel description for the streaming

[viral umbra]

Thanks!

[rapid oxide]

you are welcome! 😃

[pine star]

[balmy wolf]

It's now

[golden olive]

morning all

[balmy wolf]

Morning

[forest raven]

Mornin

[golden olive]

READY for a GG!!!\

[balmy wolf]

Hoping for not a 3-0 this time

[forest raven]

Haven't had a 3-0 since quarters

[golden olive]

Yea for sure. Want to see a 3-2

I am not ready for this tourney to be over. Excited to see who wins, but many this has been such a blast watching these games.

[rapid oxide]

3-2 are better than 3-0

[dusty surge]

What was that Mei wall in the clip?

Also, I assume I missed the grand finals. Who took it?

[balmy wolf]

You didn't

It's April 8th

[dusty surge]

Oh. Rad.

[forest raven]

Pins

[golden olive]

Janus is out right?

[forest raven]

Ye

Collapsed lung

[pine star]

Poor guy :/

[golden olive]

I hope we see some Libero hanzo today

Wait. No changsik. That sucks

[forest raven]

Yeah

[rapid oxide]

why?

[forest raven]

Who knows

[balmy wolf]

I get it

[rapid oxide]

was him rein?

if yes, maybe they wanted to par with lw

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[forest raven]

DoA or Monte said that he was primarily a Rein player, did some Winston

[golden olive]

Yea he is a sick Rein

[rapid oxide]

Flow3r Overrated Janus' Lung Deflated Luna Outdated LW Blue CYA Later

toxicity already started smh

[forest raven]

Wow

[balmy wolf]

EATEN

[golden olive]

Yea that was awesome

[dusty surge]

Oh man. That guy on LW Blue rockin the athletic tape!

[forest raven]

Flow3r's wrist is kinda borked atm

[dusty surge]

Is that who it was?

[vestal mortar]

So many wrist problems lately :C

[forest raven]

Harb

[vestal mortar]

[forest raven]

[dusty surge]

Three reverse (near) full holds. Wow.

Also, @forest raven Did you happen to see the Mei wall on Dorado that was highlighted in the player intros?

[balmy wolf]

Pretty close yeah

[forest raven]

Ye @dusty surge

I was watching it live

[dusty surge]

What was it? The clip didn't give it context.

[golden olive]

Hope we see more cool routes like that. MA think outside the box.

[balmy wolf]

I get it

[delicate sparrow]

anyone know what happened to janus?

[forest raven]

MA were attacking first on Dorado, they went around the left flank, used Mei to wall up most of the team onto the roof of the flank, slid over it to the back of first, rushed Lunatic-Hai on the defence while Sayaplayer pincered them on the high ground before the choke on McCree

[clever wagon]

Collapsed lung

[delicate sparrow]

oh jeez

that's rough

[forest raven]

Lunatic-Hai fell back past the archway on first when MA pulled off the flank

So Sayaplayer had free reign

[dusty surge]

Huh. I'll need to figure out where that wall placement was. Seems like one of those valuable ones.

[clever wagon]

So apparently Twitch has more weeb global emote now

Can't say I'm mad

[forest raven]

@dusty surge When you go past the archway on Dorado first and go left, there's that long hallway, as the attacker if you go that route, there's a healthpack up there

They walled up just outside the long hallway

https://clips.twitch.tv/FrozenConsiderateOxFailFish

[dusty surge]

Past the archway? Do... ahh, thank you.

Okay, that's where I thought it was initially. Far more situational than I was hoping. :(

Also looks like it required the speed boost to clear the window.

[golden olive]

wow full hold

[delicate sparrow]

I'm pretty sure you can get up without it but the problem it's really only beneficial if you can bring most of your team over

[dusty surge]

They needed that after they got held in streets.

[delicate sparrow]

it's a bit much for a solo flank

esp as mei

[dusty surge]

The thing I don't like about it is how visible you are getting into that spot as an attacker. It'll be hard to catch the defenders completely by surprise.

[delicate sparrow]

yeah you can't genuinely sneak around like that

I think the only real benefit is the confusion for the enemy team

[dusty surge]

Yeah. When I saw the highlight I was super hopeful. Oh well. :)

[forest raven]

I feel like a big thing that flank accomplished was pushing Lunatic-Hai back

They went all the way past archway and got caught out by Saya on the high ground

[delicate sparrow]

but wouldn't going through the hallway underneath just accomplish the same thing without the same level of surprise?

[forest raven]

Not necessarily, going through the hallway would mean Lunatic-Hai would know exactly where Meta Athena is coming from

Going over the roof disorients Lunatic-Hai because it's something that's never been done before

The advantage of being pioneers

[golden olive]

ahhhh 2cp time

[forest raven]

BOOM

[pine star]

Did MA lose map 2?

[forest raven]

Yeah

Got full held on Numbani

[pine star]

Oh boy

[golden olive]

nice shot

[clever wagon]

Saebyeolbe having a crisis

[forest raven]

Saya is fuckin poppin off

[dusty surge]

lol I imagine we'll have a new emote for that face soon.

[edgy remnant]

drawnubis???

[forest raven]

Tie

omg they're doing it

[edgy remnant]

lmao this delay

[balmy wolf]

2cp lol

[dusty surge]

Play 10 minutes for only the last 1 to matter.

[clever wagon]

2CP lul

Good point DoA

That's what made MA lose to LH too

[golden olive]

nice

[clever wagon]

LH just held theirs

Use ults 1 by 1

MA drops multiple ults at once and even to the extent of being trigger happy

Just realized MA is a 7-people roster

[forest raven]

Yeah

RunAway is an 8 man roster

[quasi python]

and lw blue ? wheres janus

[forest raven]

Collapsed lung

[clever wagon]

Right

I was taking a nap before the match

I think I had a dream I was playing Mei and was just freezing people over and planting them ice spikes in their head

And having so much fun doing it

What the fuck

[forest raven]

kek

[dusty surge]

This needs to continue happening so people won't fucking throw when I play Mei on attack.

[quasi python]

lol

[clever wagon]

I think my satisfaction hearing DINGs and huge red critical hit marks playing Widow in real life carried over

But for some reason I picked Mei in my dream

[golden olive]

lol

so few people watch pro compared to in game

They will still hate your Mei

[dusty surge]

Yeah. :(

[golden olive]

I wouldn't tho 👌

[dusty surge]

The one thing I'm surprised about is we haven't seen the grav+blizzard combo considering both teams are running Zarya and Mei.

[clever wagon]

LOL HOON

[vestal mortar]

Oooh! Hoon!

[wary falcon]

Bo5?

[clever wagon]

He was seriously gonna do it if Meko didn

[dusty surge]

Yeah

[clever wagon]

't self destruct in time

[vestal mortar]

Indeed

[clever wagon]

That could really flip LWB to shit

[dusty surge]

Thanks, Doa. :P

[forest raven]

rip MA

[balmy wolf]

gg

[forest raven]

[dusty surge]

Fell apart from that last fight for point 2 on. :(

[clever wagon]

Saebyeolbe is so happy lul

[golden olive]

gg guys

See everyone on the 8th!

[forest raven]

https://twitter.com/ian9721/status/847705138584100865

[vestal mortar]

[pine star]

Did MA throw?

[clever wagon]

@pine star Hoon did with his Grav

It's really apparent by this point, MA's issues with ult management

[pine star]

Throw it at DM? Solo ulted Lucio? Did not use it for 5 minutes?

[clever wagon]

Solo ulted a Winston

[pine star]

[clever wagon]

It happened in the EXACT SAME manner as the Dorado LH attack last point

Wait

Uhh

Defense I think?

When he ulted Miro being alone and ended up wasting grav

I think it was LH defense actually

[pine star]

Rip

[clever wagon]

'Cause I remember saying Hoon could've just saved the grav and throw it right at LH spawn door

[pine star]

Oh well

[clever wagon]

Which makes it yes, it's the almost exact same manner

Hoon's got a personal vendetta with Winston picks

[pine star]

They still went a long way considering they're rookies coming out of relegations

I have fate in them

[stoic dragon]

oh crap i missed it

[vestal mortar]

rip

[stoic dragon]

well VODs here i come

oh man short vod. was it super one sided?

[jovial eagle]

probably

or it could be super one sided

[clever wagon]

Not really

Pretty close actually

Not a bad match

Of course it's gonna be short though, it's just 1 match

[viral umbra]

So, what sauce goes best for my Lucio in comp? Bechamel, or more of a Hollandaise?

[pine star]

[viral umbra]

Someone hasn't noticed the server changes yet, huh? lol

[keen perch]

Indid

I did

What is going on lol?

[stoic dragon]

oh man already a grav eaten

[pine star]

Wait

[viral umbra]

April fools prank, I'd say, Quinton.

[pine star]

What server changes?

[keen perch]

But it's not april

[sinful isle]

the early bird catches the worm

wait...

[viral umbra]

And roasts it at 180° in the oven for 45 minutes.

[sinful isle]

more like the early chef cooks the bird at 180° for 45 minutes

[rapid oxide]

wtf is happening

[sinful isle]

we are cooking

[viral umbra]

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

I'd suggest freezing it in Mei's ult for 5 minutes.

[sinful isle]

not pizza... you can eat pizza cold

[pine star]

In my country the April fools day is on December the 28th

And it's called día de los inocentes

So rip me

I always fall for stuff because i forget in other countries is on April lol

[vestal mortar]

My mom is a professional chef

[viral umbra]

Does she cook for any of the top teams?

I hope she's at least GM.

[gentle shuttle]

kinda a stretch, but does anyone know the first tourney misfits and rogue played in after the big trade

She used to, worked in a michelin star resturant

GM chef right there 👌

[viral umbra]

Michelin? What comp do they usually run?

[stoic dragon]

LW Blue just capped point A on Numbani with only one sous chef

[vestal mortar]

[clever wagon]

What the fuck am I seeing?

[viral umbra]

Gas grills are OP. No way to compete with coal when you need it asap.

[vestal mortar]

The greatest cooking show you have ever seen

[clever wagon]

I just alt+tabbed and it's like I've suddenly been teleported to another dimension entirely

[viral umbra]

No, not dimension. The food channel.

[clever wagon]

I NEED A REASON

WHAT IS THE REASON BEHIND ALL THIS

[viral umbra]

April fools?

[gentle shuttle]

people are hungry

[viral umbra]

Also, there's enough salt and spice going around for a whole army, so why not.

[clever wagon]

Welp, kinda figured that one but you'd think they'd do it right when most of the world reached April 1

[viral umbra]

We Overcook chefs need to be one step ahead. We always start early.

[stoic dragon]

never too early to meme, i guess

[clever wagon]

Might as well put a Shokugeki in somewhere

@forest raven Who's Jamie Oliver now

[vestal mortar]

Who is your favourite professional chef?

[clever wagon]

None

[viral umbra]

Hands down, Ramsey.

Second place is Anthony Bourdain

[forest raven]

DON'T FORGET TO PICK UP MY NEW COOKBOOK SO YOU TOO CAN BECOME A PRO COOK

[vestal mortar]

lmao!

[clever wagon]

Or I'll say fuck it and pick Yukihira Souma being true to my weeb roots

[viral umbra]

I'd laugh if we end up boosting Jaime's cookbook sales.

[stoic dragon]

directions unclear. already bought 5 copies

[viral umbra]

If you could pick a meal to be your ult, which one is it and why?

[clever wagon]

I have a different career path than being a chef and feel like this would help me more http://i.imgur.com/jGhLikc.png

(Also trust me I'm one of the most unfun PoS you can find in ocassions like these)

[vestal mortar]

Who do you main in Overwatch @forest raven 🍳

[stoic dragon]

Ana, aka Chef Elzar. Because her ult BAM! Knocked it up a notch

[gentle shuttle]

we used to have Panda Pops at our high school. Then Jamie Oliver happened

then...no more Panda Pops.

[clever wagon]

Why is there no Gordon muthafucking Ramsay here though

[viral umbra]

He has been before.

[gentle shuttle]

there is

[viral umbra]

Maybe went off.

[clever wagon]

Who

[gentle shuttle]

yee

[viral umbra]

Well.,... Who?.... Gordon Ramsey ofc.

[vestal mortar]

Who would Gordon Ramsey main? Reinhardt?

[viral umbra]

Although he would be offended by him being categorized as "Sous Chef"

[stoic dragon]

Dva of course. he eats all his stuff, because tasting is important as a chef

[vestal mortar]

[viral umbra]

And she throws it right back at you.

So yeah, perfect.

[viral umbra]

How 'bout your NERF THIS CHICKEN. IT'S RAW. RAW.

[stoic dragon]

Amy from Amy's Baking Company would be mei

because she's a souless devil

[viral umbra]

Jamie Oliver has to be Lucio

He's always upbeat and zooms around his kitchen.

[vestal mortar]

Yeah totally

He is very energetic and bubbly

Yes!

Nah, Action is a solid Roadhog.

This is the first time ive actually wanted some team apparel

@limber pine Another round for me

[limber pine]

curse you gadget

[onyx shore]

since when ld from beyondthesummit casting overwatch tournaments?

[balmy wolf]

who?

[onyx shore]

LD

that dota2 caster

[balmy wolf]

what tourney did he cast

[onyx shore]

pit

clg vs lg evil

[digital pond]

Yeh I was surprised he casted Selfless v GFE too

I think Beyond the Summit wants to expand probably from Dota 2.

They're already pretty big there.

[balmy wolf]

Oh right

He sucked

The Pit casters are really bad

[pearl aurora]

1hp hp lmao

[balmy wolf]

I wish they got good ones

Like after Carbon, Hex and ZP arent doing anything

[digital pond]

I mean for him he's new to the scene, last I watched Dota 2 he was pretty good.

But it's a much slower game.

[balmy wolf]

Until the next melee

same with jkap and uber probably

[digital pond]

So it's not exactly similar to cast.

[balmy wolf]

so they're all free but they get these guys instead

[digital pond]

Checked OGN

Got it right on the rerun of game 3 Q_Q

[pine star]

Thing is

If we just keep the same guys busy, others will never have a chance to improve

[digital pond]

Agreed.

I mean it's his first time casting a game that goes 5 times faster than Dota 2.

And has less information to shuffle through.

[pine star]

I really don't mind seen new faces for this small online tournaments

[balmy wolf]

idc honestly, all the casters we got for the open and atlantic showdown are great

[digital pond]

So it could be worth.

[balmy wolf]

just stick to them casting

[digital pond]

Worse*

[balmy wolf]

and we'll be good

dont need any more

[digital pond]

I never really care enough about the cast if we're very frank.

Unless is Doa and Monte cause they can be funny.

[pine star]

They will not always be available

[digital pond]

^

Or willing.

[pine star]

If we don't allow talent to develop, it'll be much harder to accept new faces when the scene is bigger

[balmy wolf]

Uber and JKap have been saying on twitter for ages that they want to cast something

They casted the melee last month so thats good

But theres so much they could cast atm

[digital pond]

IT's also down to organizers.

If a pair becomes the mandatory they get priority.

They get monopoly.

They get to ask for more money.

IT's what happened earlier with Dota 2 before more place got casters.

[pine star]

And price maybe

[digital pond]

Tobi had monopoly.

[pine star]

Yeah exactly

[digital pond]

Hoon is actually insanely scary.

Watching his morning's replays.

His Zarya is just disgusting.

[onyx shore]

need more caster

so far i only like monte doa zp mitch

nah i dont want tobiwan on overwatch

[digital pond]

A lot of the other casters are newer to casting or the scene.

No one asked for Tobi.

We're talking about monopoly issues from early dota.

[pine star]

And the problem is

[digital pond]

Where Tobiwan had his pick of the tournaments.

[onyx shore]

odpixel would be great though

[digital pond]

And was monopolizing the money.

Because of his popularity.

And organizers are probably trying to avoid a similar situation by giving more people chances to cast.

And thus learn.

[onyx shore]

i see

[pine star]

People saying the new casters suck and bitching on chat just scare them away from the scene

[digital pond]

I love Doa and Monte since League, just we def need more people in general.

Esp if OW gets bigger.

[onyx shore]

bts is a good studio,i really like this expansion

[digital pond]

Same reason league has different people cast during the LCS season.

[onyx shore]

it could helps ow to grow

[digital pond]

Yeah they've been my favorite for Dota 2 for a while.

I do wish we had a caster/replay/spectate system similar to Dota 2.

God would it be godly.

[onyx shore]

yeah

my dream of pro ow tournament is no mkre mirror pick

everyone use different heroes

*more

[digital pond]

I mean there's always a bit of a meta in most games. The hero pool is big but not Moba big. Would also require more similar heroes.

Balancing can be such a pain in a fast paced game.

But it would be nice if we reach that point one day.

[onyx shore]

thats why need more heroes lol

if ow could reach 40 heroes

[digital pond]

I do like that they're a bit more careful with heroes.

[balmy wolf]

yeah more heroes

[digital pond]

Yeh would be a good number.

[balmy wolf]

dont fix the ones you have now

more

add more

[digital pond]

Yes exactly what we said.

Ty Exxu 2.0

[balmy wolf]

make it even worse

[onyx shore]

can start considering to use captain' draft for tournament

[balmy wolf]

That wont happen

[digital pond]

Meh I think banning heroes is a bad move with this game.

[balmy wolf]

I agree

[digital pond]

It's too based around swapping to have a system like that fit.

[balmy wolf]

Banning is terrible when theres this many characters

[digital pond]

That too.

[onyx shore]

well,you pick more than 6

like 9-10

[balmy wolf]

Its a lot more fun when they're all free

[digital pond]

It would limit comps even more than currently.

[balmy wolf]

So people can try unorthodox strats

Like MA

[onyx shore]

more combinations and strats

counterpicks

[digital pond]

If things get banned there won't be more.

[balmy wolf]

I want map draft back ;-;

[digital pond]

There will be worse games to watch.

There's also not enougyh heroes that work similarly.

Like it works in Dota because there's MORE heroes. In addition there's scaling, late game and Items to allow heroes to do similar jobs.

It's pretty set in OW.

[balmy wolf]

Like every popular moba has 80+ characters

Banning is not even on Blizzard's radar

[digital pond]

"Oh Slark has a slightly slow early game maybe? Well in 20 minutes I have items + stats and I crap on you like a Phantom Assassing"

[onyx shore]

why most tournament disable the skin?

[digital pond]

I believe initially it was for Clarity.

APEX said they'll look at allowing them next season afaik.

[balmy wolf]

Oh shit really?

[digital pond]

Yeah, it's not definitive but they'll think about it.

[balmy wolf]

Lets go champ

I want the AMM to allow skins

Need to see my boy aKm rocking Mystery Man

[digital pond]

Haha would be cool

[royal arrow]

was there a ps4 tournament today?

No idea tbh

[clever wagon]

OMM allowed skins before February :/

Also Blizz could've used proper cushion seats for their "E-stadium" at the very least

"Rise Nation a little too much to deal with"

[clever wagon]

Just realized LGE took on 4 onlines all within 2 months

[balmy wolf]

Well

That wasnt expected

Evil is really in a slump right now

How the hell did that happen?

I'm not even sure if LGE are throwing or RN are just steping up their game

[balmy wolf]

:/ @waxen root

Really wanted to see hammers in the playoffs :c

[waxen root]

i mean

Admins just need to be consistent

Shit like that happens all the time in esports for some reason

[balmy wolf]

Kirby just brought up the fact they had to bring in the sub

wasnt blaming the loss on that

or else he would have included it at the end

[waxen root]

I know as i said they didnt blame it on that

Which i appreciate

I wouldn't have posted the link if i completely disagreed with whats written lol

It's a shitty situation for sure, but theres nothing we can do about that, and im not sure what u want me t osay when u say u wanted to see them in playoffs

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[balmy wolf]

i was just stating that i wanted to see them in the playoffs

not asking for an answer from you like "yeah sorry we didnt throw" or something lol

[waxen root]

👍

theyre a strong team... i mean they beat us on lan

i think our group couldve gone either way

honestly everyone couldve advanced out of playoffs

April 8th

[silk linden]

oh cool, I'll be back home by then

[balmy wolf]

9am GMT

[silk linden]

damn that's early

[balmy wolf]

Apex is always early

[silk linden]

yeah, but during weekdays I just watch it at uni

on saturday morinings I want to sleep

[pine star]

6-5 inc

[silk linden]

quick question: what happened to "Pharah is useless, she just gets shot down by McCree, Soldier and Ana"?

a combination of things?

soldier spread, mcree not really meta?

[pine star]

Both of those things

Also she was buffed during tank meta

But she couldn't do much back then

[balmy wolf]

Soldier was less efficient at dealing easy damage

because of his new spread

[silk linden]

and now there aren't as many tanks and she can shine, makes sense

[balmy wolf]

McCree just fell off because 76 was and continues to be better in every way

And even with Zen seeing a lot more play, Pharah and Pharmercy are on the rise

[silk linden]

how so?

[balmy wolf]

what do you mean

[jovial eagle]

orb on pharah

[silk linden]

as in, zen takes ana's place?

[jovial eagle]

heroes literally never dies

[silk linden]

and he's less efficient than her at shooting pharah down?

[jovial eagle]

pharah gets 100 heals per second

[balmy wolf]

no, I was saying even with Zen seeing more play pharah and pharmercy are on the rise

[jovial eagle]

with orb and mercy

[silk linden]

ah, zen on your team

[balmy wolf]

because with Zen Pharah should be played less

because of discord

but they're still on the rise

[silk linden]

oh, i missed the "even"

[balmy wolf]

and yeah Zen is taking Ana's place in Dive comps

[silk linden]

yeah I always thought of Zen as a good Pharah check

not as good as Ana though

[balmy wolf]

Because a lot of Ana players are also their teams Zen

[silk linden]

although Ana is getting nerfed

no more 3 taps

[pine star]

WHAT'S CLOCKWORK DOING

HE'S HAD THAT PULSE BOMB FOR LIKE TEN YEARS

[balmy wolf]

Zen was still better imo

at least back when 76 could deal with her a lot easier

just toss a discord and she's basically dead

mercy or not

and now with her needing 4 shots zen is definitely better

[silk linden]

wait did they cap?

[pine star]

Yes

[silk linden]

nope

[pine star]

I mean

[silk linden]

i'm confused

[pine star]

Clockwork saved that pulse bomb for the whole fight

Like it was a freaking graviton

[silk linden]

anyway, CLG is the better team

[pine star]

C'mon

[silk linden]

gale force honestly look like a pickup group

like a non premade group of grand masters

[pine star]

lol
