present for WC
Well that's true
but hell make it
Last year he was guaranteed a spot because of his popularity
But now it isnt a popularity contest
yeah
idk who comes to mind besides those 4
idk what its gonna be but it will be good
Harbleu as off-tank pls
You're forgetting supports
oh not at all
I was just talking dps for the time being
but Adam, Rob420, Shake, Dummy etc
good options
Dummy is the best Ana
Who's the best shotcaller in the US?
That's just a fact
idk Shake is wild
Shake is not as good as Ana
Eh, the only reason coL is relevant anymore is because of Shake, imo
All we've seen of Dummy since Vegas are highlights
Avast and Aythen have a better chance imo
The only thing I've heard about American shotcallers is how good Ajax is
than Dummy?
Verbo is apparently a really good shotcaller too
Rapha aswell
theres hoonestly lots of quality support players
Oh yeah, Rapha exists
to pick from for US
Too bad he thinks he's playing Genji when playing Lucio

he things
The fuck is happening to my english today
Canada actually has some good players too
Seagull plays a better Genji and Pharah than Jake, imo
Who's the best main tank in US?
I honestly can only think of MESR
All the others that come to mind are not americans
MESR is still probably the best choice
Havent seen Milo play in a good while but he was a good rein aswell
Fact Fiction
Is he american?
Yep
That's a solid option actually
Totally forgot he was american lul
Kresnik
lol
There's so many non-american players in US that you just forget the ones that are american
Best picks for main tank are probably MESR and FCTFCTN
He's midtier now
Denmark has Dafran, Fischer, Sypeh, Zaprey and most of the SNG Ninjas roster to pick from
They're probably gonna go far
Dafrag 
That's a lot of dps 
I wonder if Blizzard is gonna limit the amount of players from the same team
They really are jam packed with DPS though
I hope not
I actually hope they do
Australia needs the full FG roster to do anything
Canada actually has S4, Agilities, Verbo, xqc, Train, Mangachu, and Roolf
...that's a good point
more talent than I thought
Surefour and Agilities as dps, xQc as main tank, Verbo as shotcaller, Roolf as flex support and Train as off tank
Solid squad
Mangachu and ID too
rip Mangachu again 
And Nicolas
AZK as well actually
So many freaking players
this is why its good were not voting again
Yeah lol
how the hell did Poke make this team
Speaking of voting
I know its dumb lol
idk whoever it is I trust them over fans
Probably Flame
idk whos good for any committee
lol
just get my boys Jake and Harb in and we good!
Honestly I'd say Seagull
I just want Harb tbh
For the committee
That's not that crazy
He's actually a really good analyst
I would like to see him on a desk
Jake can play Genji and Pharah, even if Seagull is better than him imo
18/19th April (IIRC)
The world deserves more Seagull's nanobastion
Yeah well they confirmed they were going to be in the last Melee aswell
and pulled out last second so

tfw "This product is without nickname customisability!" for NRG jerseys 
Atleast for LGE jerseys you can select the player name from a dropdown
For NRG's you can't do even that
Basic merchandising knowledge 
Saw that, don't understand what's "avi"
tfw u just remembered that u can't open reddit anymore with just Google DNS
Bishop's "Korean friends"
Pls we all know he pulled strings in the dark
But Mendo not around
who's gonna fill in C9's resident and core weeb role, And no Ryb for C9's beard
Also this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/63j96g/c9_roster_for_razor_arena_tournament/dfukzy2/
@clever wagon Avi means available
at least in the way that 2easy is using it
Who the hell are these people btw
I think they're Korean players
2 korean players 
@clever wagon Mate, I literally just posted that thread
Man, I watched LGE vs Selfless a few hours ago. As someone who missed the entirety of Carbon, I must say that LGE are really fucking good
Jake is kinda insane and Dafran apparently is a fucking god and can literally consistently 1v2 a pharmercy as a lone Pharah + literally causes the entire team to fall apart if he dies. Like, c'mon, even FaZe does better when SDB is dead
is happy inside reading his favorite team getting praise
Man these open mics are great fun lolol https://youtu.be/Xtho-2Xni70?t=262
I'm not even gonna judge because Stitch is nr.1 KR qt
π€
He actually kind of looks like Stitch from Lilo & Stitch 
Give me LCK Intro and i will die in peace
What a glorious profile picture
WOW
tfw you're now coaching your old rivals
rip kyky's zarya

ShaDowBurn vs Shadder2k 

HarryHook's Soldier vs Dafran's 
jfc Tempo throwing hard
Up until there, tempo threw every fight
that hook

does anyone here know "Osiris", the guy who is apoarently "hacking"?
Never heard of him
taimou reported him on stream to a blizz dev
yet kephrii says hes a good
i expected it to be the other way around
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
#DramaAlert
That isnt really esports anyway
True
That was 100% a missplaced nano
By who
He did?
I'm absolutely sure he was going to nano Shadder
Wow he got it back fast, when ID died he had 65%
Didn't Tempo had some aussie players? 
That's their AUS squad
"Hey ID you should swap they got a Widow"
"lol no"
Fat fingers
Fuck ID
Switch Pharah
ffs
HES STILL RUNNING IT
ON RUINS
fucking thank christ
if he ran it on ruins again
idek
hm ID switching pharah and they stomp
hmmm
pmuch sums up the match
You guys get paid? vs LG.Loyal - $15k Overwatch PIT Championship - NA Group Stage w/ @gamewithstorm & @jamerson - Clipped by TZE088
lul
how does YGGP looks?
Bad
They were looking really good with HarryButcher and Silkthread
But they were just ringing
Their actual roster is pretty shit

welp
Can't wait for you to change your name to POOlo
Already happened pal
According to rumors ShaDowBurn is free agent
Rumours from where
Russian friend
Reliable
Oh shit it's dad
π
For some reason I hope it's true that SDB is a free agent
Also
"I met meat before a met Esca" 
Esca vs Meat lmao
azk he is the north american player but the titan he is the french stars
"I need to watch some overwatch today"
Rogue vs FaZe later on
aww yisss
so weird seeing the US flag next to Rogue's name
eh i like both teams
Fair enough
Anox ;_;
what's the OPC? https://twitter.com/JetSetJamerson/status/850009756924342276
God that's a lot of games.
oh that thing
echofox, team secret, rise nation, mouse esports and now misfits
it's happening π
What
and e-league
I dont get it
Zoro they don't understand lul

Polo I'm sorru
Fighting game are getting lofs of org
They've always had a lot
not like this though
Tbh
I dont enjoy Fighting game honestly
seems this is finally the year that it goes full eat sports
fairs, it's a niche scene
This is overwatch esports discussion though 
As Overwatch is
you rite, it's just weird to see names like Misfits there now
I mean LG, C9, EG, TSM, CLG etc have had players for years
Polo being nazi as usual
You're seeing a few more jump on
XD
that's smash tho, it's kind of it's own entity
But it's always been well supported
But hes right guys
well not EG
Yeah I guess maybe I'm thinking Smash too much
just killing time i guess
Lets ow here :p
Rogue Faze when?
Yeah I can always talk to you about this in gen...actually nvm
1h 11mins
Why the fuck i live in eu smh
Play persona 5 or watch Faze get bodied? Decisions
I just want to see Rogue play
Overwatch is full of weabs π€
Im too poor to afford games so i stick with Overwatch
I need money for a pc for OW though :/
riiiiiite
i'm only into GiTS and stuff. I'm a high-tier weeb. It's different
but yeah I need to play on a real pc eventually especially if I want to get to masters+ soon
One of my friend told me "dude, i bought a laptop, lets climp ladder"
I facepalmed hard
I mean Ive studied weebs for (checks birthday) 18 years
Indeed he's plat
I know much about your kind
I mean
its not impossible
I get 60-70 fps
it works
but I want to upgrade obviously
Im a pretty filthy weeb in all honesty
Yeah it works but its well known laptop are trash if u wanna play competive games
like have figurines and a pillow filthy
and I know but money rip
and does Rogue play twice tonight?
1h
Oh twice
oh typo my bad
Thought u mispelled this
I'd be pretty down to be on the French committee for the OW WorldCup. Just sayin'...
just vote in Rogue
Lol sure, people will drop rogue+rogue coach for u
dont even make it complicated
Ps: hammer coach btw
French have easy choice
My bet is french vs Korea in finals
3rd misfits (swe) 4th nip (finland)
Good runners usa, russia, spain (maybe) denmark (maybe)
uh
Sweden has players like IDD, Cocco, Chips, Mendo etc that will be given a shot to make the roster
and Taimou, Linkzr, Ube, Tseini for Finland
its not exactly like France where putting in Rogue would honestly straight up be the best choice even with guys like kryw
I would hope most committees are aiming for the former
we kinda got the latter last year
Yeah :/
hopefully we get Kyb, Kruise and Valkyia (sp?) reppin' us this year π
why wussup
This guy hates him
polo never said Β―_(γ)_/Β―
just polo things then, i c π·
I played a game against him on Volskaya, he got carried to a draw
And I'm not saying he shouldnt be on Team UK because I dont like him
He just isnt good enough
Who do you guys think will win apex on Saturday?
Better than sty
I'd much prefer Kruise and Kyb if we're going for a full tryhard team
But my point is, I don't want sty on our team
Much better players, much wider hero pools
even though that will happen
Not just a good Pharah and an okay mccree
Oh yeah
I understand that completely
Guess we gotta wait for the votes to see who signs up though
might be like last year
where someone
forgets to accept it
not naming any names
Zoro got it
Yes
he got the email
come on kyb
He forget to accept it
and forgot about it lmfao
like a tool
tho tbh i think he might've just had doubts about going

Still better than France though
Team France was the definition of Popularity Contest
His knowledge is
yes
his aiming and other minor things aren't
allowing him to climb to masters
@gentle shuttle I'm mid gold right now, low plat most.
I just know the game
but can't execute my knowledge
because I'm shit at games
I'm shit at the game too
@wheat karma :'C
I just get carried
i just zarya and hope everyone groups up n stuff....idk :'C
I can play quite a few characters
I'm just not specialty on anyone because I don't play enough
but either way
back to esports!
esports!
I just want to vote for our stupid committees already
I dont think since this qualification process started that any country's average has gone up or down by more than 5 points
Right I'm so out of this so you're gonna have to explain here
well Polo I think theyre just letting that 30-40 range settle
and it should be in a week or two anyway
Basically just this https://worldcup.playoverwatch.com/en-gb/ @wheat karma
Top 32 countries are chosen for qualifiers
The committees are voted on by the population
The committees then choose the players
and then the group stage starts
eat-sports
So committees = the players then pretty much?
Ye
Praise Be
Sty has no business being onthe team lol
lolol damn
I mean yall have Realzx, Kruise, Kyb, Sharyk (I think?), Numlocked, Mikeya etc
no reason he makes it again
Sev and ChrisTFer aswell
well Id assume theyd take Numlocked over him as a main tank no?
Yeah they could but he showed a lot of potential so you never know
I just want all teams to send the best possible talent or close to it this time around
yeah exactly
UK esports ain't no
fest anymore!
he says hoping in the corner still shaken from the UK CS scene
I've no hope for Italy as usual π€·
lol ow 
@wintry thunder If you want to advertise your tournaments, contact modmail on the side there.
We will most likely put it in #tournaments
No problems!
haiyo
not sure π€
i figured these guys would've all been in a team house by now
i'm guessing he's still playing from Russia tho
yea, I guess
looks like Rogue has picked up something from Selfless
these aggressive spawn camping are real
Knoxxx and Winz switched roles?
wth is this attack comp from faze?
@balmy wolf i always fall asleep :C
Yeah never take the attack comp as the one they are going to go with
If the gates arent open
Thats absurd lol
Even without 2easy they have one of the best NA Dives
LOL
THAT HOLD
you mean Faze?
Yes, 2easy was never on rogue
Rogue vs FaZe - $15k Overwatch PIT Championship - NA Group Stage w/ @GameWithStorm & @AskJoshy - Clipped by polo__bear
wtf is this positioning
they went all the way behind instead of getting free push
???
Pretty good yeah but into aKm's 76 is risky
good point
Especially with discord
this tripple tank comp has no pressure tho
specially with so much vertical space on defense
they kinda lost on the comp choice imo
They wouldnt have won anyway really
it wasn't a good shot, I mean
going uphill on eichen with 4 immobile heroes, with defense deciding when to fight isn't really smart
shadow on widow???
I don't understand why they keep avoiding the genji pick
what even was that sleep on the flying nanovisor
clip pls
mid air
getting bodied by knoxx tho
AKM has actually been feeling pretty underwhelming in these midair duels
Yeah his Pharah hasn't been the best
I feel they would win this a lot easier running Zen and 76
or Zen McCree 
agreed. both teams are more or less dedicating 2 players to their own little Pharmercy duel as most of the real battle continues on below them
well, Faze almost took a map
This games shit tier lag camp will make the Esports scene never get out of being a fucking joke
FaZe looked really lost
pro tracers must fucking hate it
wha
blinking clientside and then being told youre dead
so much hero swaping
That doesnt really happen very often though
it happens every single game on tracer
@gaunt dirge it happens but it's mostly gonna be an issue at online tournaments and most esports scenes don't take those very seriously
^ this
so normal online comp is just fucked then
143 tick servers like at the World Cup should make this less an issue at LANs too
neat/
Every game has problems like that
Also, @past oar the comps were definitely all over the place by the end. Don't think they quite knew how to handle Rogue most of the time
CSgo doesnt have those problems/
uh, yes it does. it's called peekers advantage, it's present in many FPS. Lag compensation always has some sort of issue
it probably feels more potent in this game to many people just because of all the abilities and their interplay. it makes things more obvious than in a traditional shooter
Going by Tempo's performance recently, this should be closer @past oar
well its not nearly as bad as in this game.
awesome!
its fucking atrocious in this game, espec when playing heroes like tracer or mei
There are also times where you shoot at someone in cs and the shot just doesnt register
I had that happen to me too many times
yea thats a different issue
60
Dude i said lan
fuck lan
Average tick pub is 64 lmao
that shit is sad
Csgo is 64 too
Blizz is a major fucking let down with this games comp
feels like Rogue doing surprising amount of spawn camping tonight. they did some on eichenwalde too
but that basically turned into a free streets phase this time
Who won btw ?
Rogue thought they had that hold in the bag right there. Mini got them a bunch of extra distance with that earthshatter
why is mccree so rarely picked these days?
76 is just better
vs tracer/genji?
Yep
he's individually great against Tracer and Genji, but he can't survive a dive like 76 can
thought he was the answer
can't run, can't self heal
yea, I see
AKM's McCree is one of the best i've seen
I mean, I'd still rather have McCree in a straight 1v1 with those flankers, but he's not as good elsewhere
if you can headshot 50% of the time as mccree
he actually played him vs Sinatraa
then he's better
Yep
yeah, probably. it's that tracking vs flick aim
his impact on him was insane
compared to Dafran's Soldier
Akm has less of an impact on Soldier
finally they have more people on the cart
they had 1 person pushing for so long that it took longer than it had to
throws
Of course you do
OK, NOW EVERYONE SWAP POSITIONS
high ground vs the dive comp is def questionable. maybe they have more trust in dreamkazper's ability?
obviously they think its important somehow but it doesnt make sense to me
shouldn't hog hook disrupt dive ?
vs a dive comp you clearly don't decide when you engage, specially going uphill with the dive on high ground
you must run dive as well
or you lose
hog can individually handle any of the 3 divers but that's just not enough, even assuming he hits a good hook
I'm talking about Eichenwald point B
D.Va and Hog are good against Dive
Hog is just worse because longer CD on hook
and D.Va is worse because less armour
heh, they're talking McCree vs 76 same as we were
my point is, since you're defending as dive with high ground advantage all the time, you can just wait on the hook to engage
because the attack can't engage at all with triple tank
well, you still need to at least fake an engage to bait out that hook
Yeah but if you miss the hook the Road is basically dead
exactly
And thats even worse now with longer CD
that was super questionable. guess Cosi thought he was gonna get staggered?
i mean, Rogue is clearly the better team here
yeah, pretty much
but i doubt that comp would work either on a closer matchup
have we seen selfless on eichenwald on overwatchpit?
don't think so aye?
just looked at the match results and it looks like no
yea, since they always run the same comp
that wouldn't be a good map for them
cause of the Rein
they always play Rein, no matter what
i mean, you just watched Rogue almost full hold FaZe on Eichenwald with FaZe running tripple tanks, why you would pick Eichenwald?
overconfidence
seems kinda stupid tbh
i would've gone control
Nepal or Illios, w/e
anything but eichen
alright, so now we've got a stomp yeah?
what a great way to close off the night
well, tomorrow we can have higher hopes
Liquid vs Rogue is gonna be interesting, to say the least
apex finals are tomorrow too, right? or is that saturday
saturday
damn. can't wait
that would probably be my ideal, yeah
close maps either way and I'll be happy as a spectator
yep
hopefully Esca won't tilt that hard
and Runaway will win in a close series
i don't wanna see a stomp
hopefully runaway keep their nerve too
LH way more experienced with going to finals
(also more experienced with losing finals kek)
have you watched the open mic video of lh vs runaway in the group stage?
esca tilts pretty hard, man
booth going completely silent when runaway draws the matchup
he as a leader goes completely off, non-vocal at all
Runner is pretty good at keeping the team motivated at all times
specially Kaiser
sounds like even more reason LH needs to replace Esca
apparently they don't replace people
there's a post on reddit saying they are getting a sub for season 3
i think that's the way to go tho
supposedly they're looking for a flex yeah?
i guess so
I wonder if they'd actually be switching Esca. WE'll have to see come S3
he's the oldest in the team, players have a lot of trust on him. i don't see him getting replaced at all
Rogue won all of their games right?
Yes
yes they did
Were they all 2-0?
yep
yes
Yes
Lol
I was expecting it
Im expecting Liquid to take a map and then for Rogue to not lose a map till they play Envy in Rivalcade
don't think that's gonna happen, Polo
EnVy doesn't play dive, right?
they still stuck with those tank comps bs?
We haven't seen a team with the same mechanical skill as Rogue play them yet
They've all been a lot worse
Whereas Envy is very good mechanically
I'm still expecting Rogue to win, but I'd say it will be close
but nobody in EnVy plays projectile DPS
that's a huge plus for Rogue in this meta
and yes, close definitely
can't really count EnVy out
3rd
Oh
we see all these genjis like Whoru, Haksal, Shadowburn, Nico, ...
then you look at Envy
lol
They have Mickie
Lol
They need an actual genji main
And he will be playing Genji for Envy
yep
if that happens, awesome
He's been practicing Genji on stream
i hope he gets good fast
because these genjis are freaking disgusting
That nano was stupid as fuck
Except Silkthread who isn't going pro
they could take anyone, man
they're a better organization
at least 1 of these genjis would taket he swap
if they were willing to commit to recruit one
Players can't just up and leave
And most don't want to
If an org wants a player thats already signed, they need to wait out the contract or buyout the contract
there might be a gap after the tourney at the end of the month
What do you mean a gap
They need someone like dafran
no tourneys till OW League
The best Dps in the game
could be a good time to recruit someone for the position
you crazy?
Harry is a lot better than Dafran, man
Theres a lot of tournies happening though
lol
oh, totally forgot about APAC
Did you see dafran? He can play every dps on a pro lvl
His soldier is so good
Montie said something about a possible APEX S3 soon enough
would be crazy if we get s3 right away
best Soldier = Harryhook
best Tracer = Saebeolby
best McCree = Akm
best Genji = Whoru
i still think saebe is better
Saeb carried the series vs LH
in the IEM Finals
anyone excited to watch NRG get bodied at Rivalcode?
cade*
what? you gon say iddqd?
Best genji = whoru, haksal and shadowburn
that's a close one
All of them are close
Yeah
Sinatraa is not good comparede to these guys, man
Miro on winston yeah
Not undisputed yet
hmm, he had great moments
Who is his competitor?
but don't forget he tilted pretty hard
was inconsistent troughout the series
till he pulled of a 5 man earth shatter
He has outplayed every Rein up to this point except Miro
^
he's outstanding, that's for sure
best D.Va
Mickie
undisputed
Evermore, best Hog, undisputed
there are some pretty insane players on some heroes, man
ehh idk about that
definitely
Mickie I'd agree with though
Evermore literally carried alone
too many good Hogs, man
the series vs LW
same with McCree - don't think we can give anyone an "undisputed best" title
but you're the best when you're so good that you can have the highest impact possible in a series, right?
carrying a game by yourself?
SoOn has done that so he's best tracer undisputed right?
^
vs who?
depends on who you're playing against
if you're playing against outstanding teams, then yea
probably
You're undisputed best when you do things consistently on a next level compared to all others
exactly
tier 1 != undisputed best
all these players do that
