pine star
#

Just because he hasn't played professionally in like fucking forever

solid spear
#

present for WC

balmy wolf
#

Out of all the NA players to choose from and him being in it last year

#

I doubt it

pine star
#

Well that's true

solid spear
#

but hell make it

balmy wolf
#

Last year he was guaranteed a spot because of his popularity

#

But now it isnt a popularity contest

solid spear
#

yeah

pine star
#

I wouldn't mind Jake on the roster tbh

#

Or Grim

#

Or both

solid spear
#

idk who comes to mind besides those 4

balmy wolf
#

idk what its gonna be but it will be good

solid spear
#

as someone with a legit shot

#

Hydration if CLG continues to play well?

pine star
#

Harbleu as off-tank pls

solid spear
#

I think Harb has a good shot

#

he shouldve made it last year

balmy wolf
#

You're forgetting supports

solid spear
#

oh not at all

#

I was just talking dps for the time being

#

but Adam, Rob420, Shake, Dummy etc

#

good options

pine star
#

Dummy is the best Ana

forest raven
#

Who's the best shotcaller in the US?

pine star
#

That's just a fact

solid spear
#

idk Shake is wild

pine star
#

Shake is not as good as Ana

forest raven
#

Eh, the only reason coL is relevant anymore is because of Shake, imo

pine star
#

But his Zen is nasty

#

I mean

#

Not as good as Dummy lol

#

He's a ridiculous Ana too

forest raven
#

All we've seen of Dummy since Vegas are highlights

pine star
#

That's true

#

And streams

balmy wolf
#

Avast and Aythen have a better chance imo

forest raven
#

The only thing I've heard about American shotcallers is how good Ajax is

solid spear
#

than Dummy?

pine star
#

Verbo is apparently a really good shotcaller too

balmy wolf
#

Rapha aswell

solid spear
#

theres hoonestly lots of quality support players

pine star
#

Oh yeah, Rapha exists

solid spear
#

to pick from for US

pine star
#

Too bad he thinks he's playing Genji when playing Lucio

#

he things

#

The fuck is happening to my english today

solid spear
#

Jake and Grim with Harb and supports and yeah

#

could be a pretty good team this year

forest raven
#

Jake as a hitscan?

#

I mean projectile

solid spear
#

Canada actually has some good players too

forest raven
#

Seagull plays a better Genji and Pharah than Jake, imo

pine star
#

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

balmy wolf
#

Jkw and Juv3nile are pretty good

#

Debett aswell

pine star
#

I haven't seen Jkw play in a while

#

Besides Lucio today that is

balmy wolf
#

MESR is still probably the best choice

#

Havent seen Milo play in a good while but he was a good rein aswell

forest raven
#

Fact Fiction

pine star
#

Is he american?

forest raven
#

Yep

pine star
#

That's a solid option actually

forest raven
#

He, Rawkus and Zombs are the Americans on FaZe

#

There's iShiny

balmy wolf
#

Totally forgot he was american lul

forest raven
#

Kresnik

pine star
#

lol

#

There's so many non-american players in US that you just forget the ones that are american

balmy wolf
#

Best picks for main tank are probably MESR and FCTFCTN

solid spear
#

how has Stoop been as of late?

#

I remember him being very solid

pine star
#

He's midtier now

forest raven
#

Denmark has Dafran, Fischer, Sypeh, Zaprey and most of the SNG Ninjas roster to pick from

#

They're probably gonna go far

solid spear
#

Dafrag iddGasm

pine star
#

That's a lot of dps pixelThinking

balmy wolf
#

All of Ninjas are from denmark

#

Lelouch is also a solid dps

pine star
#

I wonder if Blizzard is gonna limit the amount of players from the same team

balmy wolf
#

They really are jam packed with DPS though

forest raven
#

I hope not

pine star
#

I actually hope they do

forest raven
#

Australia needs the full FG roster to do anything

solid spear
#

Canada actually has S4, Agilities, Verbo, xqc, Train, Mangachu, and Roolf

pine star
#

...that's a good point

solid spear
#

more talent than I thought

pine star
#

Verbo is canadian?

#

Dayum

#

Thought he was american

solid spear
#

oh my boy Phaz too

forest raven
#

Surefour and Agilities as dps, xQc as main tank, Verbo as shotcaller, Roolf as flex support and Train as off tank

pine star
#

Solid squad

balmy wolf
#

Mangachu and ID too

solid spear
#

rip Mangachu again harbFeels

balmy wolf
#

And Nicolas

solid spear
#

AZK as well actually

balmy wolf
#

was just about to say yeah

#

They're also jam packed with dps

pine star
#

So many freaking players

solid spear
#

pine star
#

Yeah lol

solid spear
#

pine star
#

forest raven
#

Popularity contest lmao

#

solid spear

pine star
#

#

solid spear
#

pine star
#

Probably Flame

balmy wolf
#

idk whos good for any committee

pine star
#

lol

solid spear
#

just get my boys Jake and Harb in and we good!

forest raven
#

Honestly I'd say Seagull

pine star
#

I just want Harb tbh

forest raven
#

For the committee

pine star
#

That's not that crazy

#

He's actually a really good analyst

#

I would like to see him on a desk

forest raven
#

Jake can play Genji and Pharah, even if Seagull is better than him imo

balmy wolf
#

I want seagull just for his pharah tbh

#

Oh how ive missed it

forest raven
#

18/19th April (IIRC)

pine star
#

The world deserves more Seagull's nanobastion

balmy wolf
#

Yeah well they confirmed they were going to be in the last Melee aswell

#

and pulled out last second so

forest raven
#

You gotta believe

#

#

For NRG's you can't do even that

But Mendo not around FeelsSadMan who's gonna fill in C9's resident and core weeb role, And no Ryb for C9's beard

balmy wolf
#

@clever wagon Avi means available

#

at least in the way that 2easy is using it

#

Who the hell are these people btw

forest raven
#

I think they're Korean players

balmy wolf
#

2 korean players wut

forest raven
#

@clever wagon Mate, I literally just posted that thread

balmy wolf
#

He linked a specific comment

#

idk why

#

I just wanted Talespin 😭

clever wagon
#

Korean players Pooplooo

#

Bishop pulled some strings

#

To fill in for Ryb and Mendo

balmy wolf
#

Yeah I know

#

I read the thread

toxic yacht
#

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

clever wagon
#

is happy inside reading his favorite team getting praise

toxic yacht
#

Wait, they lost vs Rise?????? kaplanwhat

balmy wolf

I just want to see Rogue play

gentle shuttle
#

sames vace FeelsPikaMan

rapid oxide
#

Overwatch is full of weabs πŸ€”

#

Im too poor to afford games so i stick with Overwatch

solid spear
#

I HATE weebs

#

I'm playing it as an experiment

solid spear
#

I need money for a pc for OW though :/

gentle shuttle
#

riiiiiite

solid spear
#

Vace pls!

#

cuz like this laptop works and all

gentle shuttle
#

i'm only into GiTS and stuff. I'm a high-tier weeb. It's different

solid spear
#

but yeah I need to play on a real pc eventually especially if I want to get to masters+ soon

rapid oxide
#

One of my friend told me "dude, i bought a laptop, lets climp ladder"

#

I facepalmed hard

solid spear
#

I mean Ive studied weebs for (checks birthday) 18 years

rapid oxide
#

Indeed he's plat

solid spear
#

I know much about your kind

#

I mean

#

its not impossible

#

I get 60-70 fps

#

it works

#

but I want to upgrade obviously

rapid oxide
#

I act like a weab if its needed

#

But im truly not

solid spear
#

Im a pretty filthy weeb in all honesty

rapid oxide
#

Yeah it works but its well known laptop are trash if u wanna play competive games

solid spear
#

like have figurines and a pillow filthy

#

and I know but money rip

#

and does Rogue play twice tonight?

rapid oxide
#

1h

solid spear
#

oh I know

#

I meant like do they play a second set tonight?

rapid oxide
#

Oh twice

solid spear
#

oh typo my bad

rapid oxide
#

Thought u mispelled this

solid spear
#

just vote in Rogue

rapid oxide
#

Lol sure, people will drop rogue+rogue coach for u

solid spear
#

dont even make it complicated

rapid oxide
#

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)

solid spear
#

idk

#

have to see rosters

#

and Sweden and Finland wont just be NIP and Misfits

rapid oxide
#

Well.... For sw, fi, fr and kr are pretty set on the stone imk

#

Why not?

solid spear
#

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

balmy wolf
#

It depends what the committee wants

#

If they want to be competitive or just have fun

solid spear
#

I would hope most committees are aiming for the former

#

we kinda got the latter last year

balmy wolf
#

Yeah :/

gentle shuttle
#

hopefully we get Kyb, Kruise and Valkyia (sp?) reppin' us this year πŸ˜ƒ

Who do you guys think will win apex on Saturday?

wheat karma

Better than sty

balmy wolf
#

True, but that doesnt mean he's good @wheat karma

wheat karma
#

Oh god no

#

I know it doesn't

balmy wolf
#

I'd much prefer Kruise and Kyb if we're going for a full tryhard team

wheat karma
#

But my point is, I don't want sty on our team

balmy wolf
#

Much better players, much wider hero pools

wheat karma
#

even though that will happen

balmy wolf
#

Not just a good Pharah and an okay mccree

wheat karma
#

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

It worries me that we're gonna get him again

balmy wolf

You shouldnt

#

Isnt he like gold

wheat karma
#

His knowledge is

#

yes

#

his aiming and other minor things aren't

#

allowing him to climb to masters

balmy wolf

going by his videos i always assumed he was high plat at best

#

oops

wheat karma
#

Why do you think I watch them to take the piss out of him

gentle shuttle
#

damn bro, let high plats live

wheat karma
#

@gentle shuttle I'm mid gold right now, low plat most.

#

I just know the game

but either way

back to esports!

vestal mortar
#

esports!

balmy wolf
#

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

wheat karma
#

Right I'm so out of this so you're gonna have to explain here

solid spear
#

well Polo I think theyre just letting that 30-40 range settle

#

and it should be in a week or two anyway

balmy wolf
#

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

gentle shuttle
#

eat-sports

wheat karma
#

So committees = the players then pretty much?

balmy wolf
#

No they're the people who organise it

#

Like managers and coaches

wheat karma
#

oh right

#

So you vote for them

#

and they pick players?

#

: o

balmy wolf
#

Ye

wheat karma
#

So we might not get a shit team then after all

I mean yall have Realzx, Kruise, Kyb, Sharyk (I think?), Numlocked, Mikeya etc

#

no reason he makes it again

balmy wolf
#

Sev and ChrisTFer aswell

solid spear
#

oh wait Space is from there too, didnt even know

#

wait nope

#

different Space

balmy wolf
#

And HarryButcher

#

the UK could easily be one of the strongest teams

solid spear
#

well Id assume theyd take Numlocked over him as a main tank no?

balmy wolf
#

Yeah they could but he showed a lot of potential so you never know

solid spear
#

I just want all teams to send the best possible talent or close to it this time around

gentle shuttle
#

yeah exactly

wheat karma
#

UK esports ain't no LUL fest anymore!

#

he says hoping in the corner still shaken from the UK CS scene

balmy wolf
#

I mean it never actually was

#

It's only gotten better

I've no hope for Italy as usual 🀷

#

evening

#

let's watch some games

#

is shadowburn playing from Russia?

gentle shuttle
#

haiyo

#

not sure πŸ€”

#

i figured these guys would've all been in a team house by now

#

i'm guessing he's still playing from Russia tho

past oar
#

yea, I guess

#

looks like Rogue has picked up something from Selfless

#

these aggressive spawn camping are real

balmy wolf
#

Yes he is playing from Russia

#

Hasnt been moved

#

after a year of being with the team

gentle shuttle
#

Knoxxx and Winz switched roles?

past oar
#

wth is this attack comp from faze?

balmy wolf
#

Yep @gentle shuttle

#

Have you not watched the last few Melees?

gentle shuttle
#

@balmy wolf i always fall asleep :C

balmy wolf
#

smh

#

Whats wrong with it @past oar

past oar
#

Orisa 5 sec before start

#

thought they would commit

balmy wolf
#

Yeah never take the attack comp as the one they are going to go with

#

If the gates arent open

past oar
#

still weird to see sb off genji tho

#

they don't play dive apparently

balmy wolf
#

Yeah he hasnt played Genji at all so far

#

no idea why

past oar
#

maybe they don't see themselves up there against top dive comps

#

so its kinda pointless

balmy wolf
#

Thats absurd lol

#

Even without 2easy they have one of the best NA Dives

#

LOL

#

THAT HOLD

past oar
#

you mean Faze?

balmy wolf
#

Yes, 2easy was never on rogue

#

wtf is this positioning

#

they went all the way behind instead of getting free push

#

???

past oar
#

isn't Pharah good on eichen?

#

saw sb playing pharah on owpit

balmy wolf
#

Pretty good yeah but into aKm's 76 is risky

past oar
#

good point

balmy wolf
#

Especially with discord

past oar
#

this tripple tank comp has no pressure tho

#

specially with so much vertical space on defense

#

they kinda lost on the comp choice imo

balmy wolf
#

They wouldnt have won anyway really

past oar
#

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

gentle shuttle
#

shadow on widow???

balmy wolf
#

Zombs on winston sdb on widow

past oar
#

I don't understand why they keep avoiding the genji pick

median coyote
#

what even was that sleep on the flying nanovisor

past oar
#

wow that sleep

#

was insane

iron cedar
#

clip pls

past oar
#

mid air

balmy wolf
#

SDB Genji

past oar
#

getting bodied by knoxx tho

median coyote
#

AKM has actually been feeling pretty underwhelming in these midair duels

balmy wolf
#

Yeah his Pharah hasn't been the best

#

I feel they would win this a lot easier running Zen and 76

#

or Zen McCree sad

median coyote
#

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

balmy wolf
#

Almost

#

lol

gaunt dirge
#

This games shit tier lag camp will make the Esports scene never get out of being a fucking joke

past oar
#

FaZe looked really lost

gaunt dirge
#

pro tracers must fucking hate it

balmy wolf
#

wha

gaunt dirge
#

blinking clientside and then being told youre dead

past oar
#

so much hero swaping

gaunt dirge
#

or ice blocking and then getting killed somehow

#

its fucking pathetic net code blizz

balmy wolf
#

That doesnt really happen very often though

gaunt dirge
#

it happens every single game on tracer

median coyote
#

@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

past oar
#

^ this

gaunt dirge
#

so normal online comp is just fucked then

median coyote
#

143 tick servers like at the World Cup should make this less an issue at LANs too

gaunt dirge
#

neat/

balmy wolf
#

Every game has problems like that

median coyote
#

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

past oar
#

yea, was a lil bit messy

#

can we expect a better series now?

gaunt dirge
#

CSgo doesnt have those problems/

past oar
#

haven't watched EU yet

#

lol it says 2-1 on overlay

median coyote
#

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

balmy wolf
#

Going by Tempo's performance recently, this should be closer @past oar

gaunt dirge
#

well its not nearly as bad as in this game.

past oar
#

awesome!

gaunt dirge
#

its fucking atrocious in this game, espec when playing heroes like tracer or mei

balmy wolf
#

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

gaunt dirge
#

yea thats a different issue

rapid oxide
#

Csgo lan tick is 128

#

Ow is 144

#

Fucking cs plebs

gaunt dirge
#

OW comp tickrate is what 20?

#

thats fuckin pleb status .

solid spear
#

60

rapid oxide
#

Dude i said lan

gaunt dirge
#

fuck lan

rapid oxide
#

Average tick pub is 64 lmao

gaunt dirge
#

that shit is sad

rapid oxide
#

Csgo is 64 too

gaunt dirge
#

Blizz is a major fucking let down with this games comp

rapid oxide
#

Valve support 64

#

Community host 128

#

Or ESEA or w/e

median coyote
#

feels like Rogue doing surprising amount of spawn camping tonight. they did some on eichenwalde too

past oar
#

learned that from Selfless, prob

#

works great with dive

median coyote
#

but that basically turned into a free streets phase this time

rapid oxide
#

Who won btw ?

median coyote
#

Rogue beat Faze 2-0

#

It was a 3-2 Ilios tho

balmy wolf
#

Ilios was close because of aKm and Unkoe on Pharmercy

#

Eichen was a stomp though

rapid oxide
#

Not surprised tho

#

Rogue scare me af

median coyote
#

Rogue thought they had that hold in the bag right there. Mini got them a bunch of extra distance with that earthshatter

past oar
#

why is mccree so rarely picked these days?

balmy wolf
#

76 is just better

past oar
#

vs tracer/genji?

balmy wolf
#

Yep

median coyote
#

he's individually great against Tracer and Genji, but he can't survive a dive like 76 can

past oar
#

thought he was the answer

median coyote
#

can't run, can't self heal

past oar
#

yea, I see

balmy wolf
#

76 is just straight up better

#

Sadly sad

past oar
#

AKM's McCree is one of the best i've seen

median coyote
#

I mean, I'd still rather have McCree in a straight 1v1 with those flankers, but he's not as good elsewhere

jovial eagle
#

if you can headshot 50% of the time as mccree

past oar
#

he actually played him vs Sinatraa

jovial eagle
#

then he's better

balmy wolf
#

Yeah I hate seeing 76 so much

#

I just want more McCree

past oar
#

I feel like Akm's mccree is better than his soldier

#

from recent games

balmy wolf
#

Yep

median coyote
#

yeah, probably. it's that tracking vs flick aim

past oar
#

his impact on him was insane

#

compared to Dafran's Soldier

#

Akm has less of an impact on Soldier

median coyote
#

finally they have more people on the cart

#

they had 1 person pushing for so long that it took longer than it had to

past oar
#

throws

solid spear
#

I miss McCree

balmy wolf
#

Of course you do

past oar
#

no Hog yet

#

interesting

balmy wolf
#

Hooey was playing Hog last game

#

So was Tig

#

and tig is again

past oar
#

oh, there we go

#

oh, that boop was so predictable, sadly he was stuck

median coyote
#

OK, NOW EVERYONE SWAP POSITIONS

past oar
#

again the tripple tank going uphill

#

that makes no sense to me

#

vs a dive comp

median coyote
#

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

jovial eagle
#

shouldn't hog hook disrupt dive ?

past oar
#

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

median coyote
#

hog can individually handle any of the 3 divers but that's just not enough, even assuming he hits a good hook

past oar
#

I'm talking about Eichenwald point B

balmy wolf
#

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

median coyote
#

heh, they're talking McCree vs 76 same as we were

past oar
#

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

median coyote
#

well, you still need to at least fake an engage to bait out that hook

balmy wolf
#

Yeah but if you miss the hook the Road is basically dead

past oar
#

exactly

balmy wolf
#

And thats even worse now with longer CD

past oar
#

Rein is worthless going uphill

#

he's basically doing nathing

#

vs dive

#

see?

median coyote
#

that was super questionable. guess Cosi thought he was gonna get staggered?

past oar
#

i mean, Rogue is clearly the better team here

median coyote
#

yeah, pretty much

past oar
#

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?

median coyote
#

just looked at the match results and it looks like no

past oar
#

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?

median coyote
#

overconfidence

past oar
#

seems kinda stupid tbh

#

i would've gone control

#

Nepal or Illios, w/e

#

anything but eichen

median coyote
#

alright, so now we've got a stomp yeah?

past oar
#

yes we do

#

lol

median coyote
#

what a great way to close off the night

past oar
#

well, tomorrow we can have higher hopes

#

Liquid vs Rogue is gonna be interesting, to say the least

median coyote
#

apex finals are tomorrow too, right? or is that saturday

past oar
#

saturday

median coyote
#

damn. can't wait

past oar
#

same

#

4-3 Runaway?

#

would be awesome

median coyote
#

that would probably be my ideal, yeah

#

close maps either way and I'll be happy as a spectator

past oar
#

yep

#

hopefully Esca won't tilt that hard

#

and Runaway will win in a close series

#

i don't wanna see a stomp

median coyote
#

hopefully runaway keep their nerve too

#

LH way more experienced with going to finals

#

(also more experienced with losing finals kek)

past oar
#

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

median coyote
#

sounds like even more reason LH needs to replace Esca

past oar
#

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

median coyote
#

supposedly they're looking for a flex yeah?

past oar
#

i guess so

median coyote
#

I wonder if they'd actually be switching Esca. WE'll have to see come S3

past oar
#

he's the oldest in the team, players have a lot of trust on him. i don't see him getting replaced at all

spring lintel
#

Rogue won all of their games right?

median coyote
#

Yes

past oar
#

yes they did

spring lintel
#

Were they all 2-0?

past oar
#

yep

balmy wolf
#

yes

median coyote
#

Yes

spring lintel
#

Lol

past oar
#

what were you expecting? lol

#

it's Rogue, man

#

best team in the west

spring lintel
#

I was expecting it

balmy wolf
#

Im expecting Liquid to take a map and then for Rogue to not lose a map till they play Envy in Rivalcade

past oar
#

don't think that's gonna happen, Polo

#

EnVy doesn't play dive, right?

#

they still stuck with those tank comps bs?

balmy wolf
#

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

past oar
#

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

spring lintel
#

Shadder dude

#

This is his first team right?

balmy wolf
#

3rd

spring lintel
#

Oh

balmy wolf
past oar
#

we see all these genjis like Whoru, Haksal, Shadowburn, Nico, ...

#

then you look at Envy

#

lol

balmy wolf
#

They have Mickie

spring lintel
#

Lol

past oar
#

Mickie, the main D.Va?

#

lol

spring lintel
#

They need an actual genji main

past oar
#

they can't run dive

#

without one

#

that sucks

balmy wolf
#

Mickie wasn't even a D.Va player when Envy picked him up

#

He mained hitscan

past oar
#

well, that doesn't help, does it?

#

lol

balmy wolf
#

And he will be playing Genji for Envy

past oar
#

Harry is the hitscan

#

you think so?

balmy wolf
#

yep

past oar
#

if that happens, awesome

median coyote
#

He's been practicing Genji on stream

past oar
#

i hope he gets good fast

balmy wolf
#

There is no available good Genji players though

#

They're all taken

past oar
#

because these genjis are freaking disgusting

spring lintel
#

That nano was stupid as fuck

balmy wolf
#

Except Silkthread who isn't going pro

past oar
#

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

balmy wolf
#

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

past oar
#

there might be a gap after the tourney at the end of the month

balmy wolf
#

What do you mean a gap

spring lintel
#

They need someone like dafran

past oar
#

no tourneys till OW League

spring lintel
#

The best Dps in the game

past oar
#

could be a good time to recruit someone for the position

#

you crazy?

#

Harry is a lot better than Dafran, man

balmy wolf
#

Theres a lot of tournies happening though

past oar
#

lol

spring lintel
#

LOL

#

Dafran is the best dps in the game

balmy wolf
#

Like the OWL is starting late in the year

#

APAC is coming up

past oar
#

oh, totally forgot about APAC

spring lintel
#

Did you see dafran? He can play every dps on a pro lvl

past oar
#

yea, vs bad teams

#

lol

spring lintel
#

His soldier is so good

median coyote
#

Montie said something about a possible APEX S3 soon enough

past oar
#

would be crazy if we get s3 right away

#

best Soldier = Harryhook

#

best Tracer = Saebeolby

#

best McCree = Akm

#

best Genji = Whoru

median coyote
#

Gotta put soon up there for tracer

#

Close at least

past oar
#

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*

spring lintel
#

Akm?

#

Really ?

past oar
#

what? you gon say iddqd?

spring lintel
#

Dude you are biased

#

Tiamou

#

And iddqd

past oar
#

nah, man

#

sub par

#

lol

spring lintel
#

Best genji = whoru, haksal and shadowburn

past oar
#

that's a close one

spring lintel
#

Tracer I am not very sure of but sinatra is good

#

There are some good tracers too

balmy wolf
#

All of them are close

spring lintel
#

Yeah

past oar
#

Sinatraa is not good comparede to these guys, man

balmy wolf
#

There is no undisputed top player at a single hero

#

Except maybe Miro on Winston

spring lintel
#

Miro on winston yeah

past oar
#

Ryujehong on Ana?

#

you kidding?

#

totally undisputed

balmy wolf
#

Ah yeah him too

#

Every other hero is too close

past oar
#

others are close, yes

#

i'm being biased, of course

#

just my opinion

spring lintel
#

Wait kaiser dude

#

Rein

#

Insane rein

balmy wolf
#

Not undisputed yet

past oar
#

hmm, he had great moments

spring lintel
#

Who is his competitor?

past oar
#

but don't forget he tilted pretty hard

#

was inconsistent troughout the series

#

till he pulled of a 5 man earth shatter

balmy wolf
#

He has outplayed every Rein up to this point except Miro

spring lintel
#

^

balmy wolf
#

So as long as he outplays him

#

He will be the best Rein

#

Undisputed

past oar
#

he's outstanding, that's for sure

#

Mickie

#

undisputed

#

Evermore, best Hog, undisputed

#

there are some pretty insane players on some heroes, man

balmy wolf
#

ehh idk about that

past oar
#

definitely

balmy wolf
#

Mickie I'd agree with though

past oar
#

Evermore literally carried alone

balmy wolf
#

Can't really think of any other D.Va's that would be on his level

median coyote
#

too many good Hogs, man

past oar
#

the series vs LW

median coyote
#

same with McCree - don't think we can give anyone an "undisputed best" title

past oar
#

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?

balmy wolf
#

SoOn has done that so he's best tracer undisputed right?

median coyote
#

^

past oar
#

vs who?

#

depends on who you're playing against

#

if you're playing against outstanding teams, then yea

#

probably

median coyote
#

You're undisputed best when you do things consistently on a next level compared to all others

past oar
#

exactly

median coyote
#

tier 1 != undisputed best

past oar
#

all these players do that
