[past oar]

Evermore has been carrying KD througout the whole season

until Meta Athena figured them out

but there was some insane consistency in his roadhog

[median coyote]

carrying doesn't make you the best tho, it just makes you critical to your team

[past oar]

there's no best

[median coyote]

yes, exactly

[past oar]

but by best, of course i mean Tier S

not actually trying to rank #1, #2, etc

[balmy wolf]

You've been saying undisputed though, not just top tier at the hero

[past oar]

Evermore is Tier S Hog, for sure

[balmy wolf]

100% agree

[median coyote]

yup

[past oar]

but who else would you put up there with him?

on that hero specifically

that's the point

prob a tier 1

like there are multiple tier S Genjis

but Hogs? not so sure

[balmy wolf]

The players that come to mind instantly are Harb, Snizzle and Hymzi

[past oar]

Harb, yea

forgot about him

definetely

[median coyote]

Hymzi and Harbleu were my first thoughts

[past oar]

i aggree

i'm not even talk about lúcios

lol

i can't quite grasp the impact of lúcios in these games

[median coyote]

honestly, I feel like most pro Lucios aren't even all that great

they just kinda exist and got put into that role because they shotcall or their pool is out of meta

[past oar]

i tend to agree, man

lúcio's gameplay has no impact compared to the other roles

it's not hard to press Q, is it?

[median coyote]

I'd love to see a standout Lucio pop up, especially if PTR changes go through

[balmy wolf]

Lucio is all about shotcalling

[past oar]

yea, agree

[balmy wolf]

Thats what makes other lucio players stand out

[past oar]

totally a shotcalling thing

[balmy wolf]

Like Ajax

[past oar]

then we could consider Runner, couldn't we?

he kinda fucks up playing the hero sometimes

but he makes a difference in shotcalling like no other

[median coyote]

idk, I'd like to see better Lucio aggression. feels like they all play so passively outside of like Ilios environmentals

[past oar]

it's the only way to go, man

[balmy wolf]

Thats because they have to

^

[past oar]

you get 1 shot

[balmy wolf]

If they play aggressively you get punished

[past oar]

if you're too aggressive

[balmy wolf]

That playstyle just doesn't work

Thats about to change though

[median coyote]

like, there's a good deal of movement skill available in Lucio tho

[balmy wolf]

Lucio's getting some big changes that might change his playstyle

[past oar]

there's no room for DSPStanky in pro-play

he's a soloQ joke

meme

i'm a lúcio main myself

still waiting, Polo

got bored as hell already

[median coyote]

idk, I think with the changes he;ll have to at least dive with his team

[past oar]

and i prefer a more passive playstyle as well

[median coyote]

that's gonna be interesting

[past oar]

oh, yea

mechanics are def gonna kick in hard

wallrides, boops are gonna make a lot more dif

[median coyote]

cuz yeah, right now there's not a lot you can do outside Q and speedboost at the right time

[past oar]

you don't have to

the range of your aura is way too big

you can heal pharah's in the sky

30m above the ground

effortless

[median coyote]

Lucio is high skill what are you talking about. You gotta exist with the best of them

[past oar]

being in the middle of the action, with a 10m radius aura is gonna require a lot more skill

dodging stuff, dealing damage

otherwise you just won't heal

[median coyote]

whats the new range?

[past oar]

10m

[median coyote]

oh man

have you guys tried it on PTR?

[past oar]

nope, but have seen footage

when he was broken

with the speed boost stacking

[balmy wolf]

My god

MikeyA is MGEMike

I had no idea

[past oar]

http://imgur.com/a/VAdgP @median coyote

you see the deal?

lol

[balmy wolf]

CHOKEQUID

[clever wagon]

Top tier Hog, no Emongg?

[past oar]

lol

[balmy wolf]

Who emog

[clever wagon]

...

K

[past oar]

what? Liquid lost a map?

is this real?

[wintry matrix]

yep, KR

it's funny how almost every dva bomb gets one or more from yggp

[past oar]

oh, man

14 secs

so sad

you guys know any of these players?

never seen any in soloq streams

maybe Space

[balmy wolf]

I know Moffitt and Psychowaffle

http://i.imgur.com/jK6i4fX.png

man iddqd what a player

[past oar]

good series, man

no stomp at all

[ashen umbra]

I wonder what the viabilty off having live replays of tournamens is. Or even something similar for tournament broadcasts. You get the default view done by the cameraman, but you can also switch views on your own. Interactive viewing experience. 😮

[edgy remnant]

I think CSGO has that, w/ GOTV you can hear the commentators too - but you can choose if you want to spectate manually or have the cameraman do it

[balmy wolf]

Apex has instant replays

And other tournies have in the past

[pseudo sail]

Hey ppl ICYMI I wrote about the APEX s2 finals:

5 story lines that the APEX S2 finals will tie up
http://www.esportsheaven.com/articles/view/6000

As always, feedback welcome and appreciated and feel free to share w/ others if you enjoy!

[gentle shuttle]

@balmy wolf moffitt's my favourite NA mccree honestly

[balmy wolf]

[gentle shuttle]

i fell asleep during Rogue vs FaZe on illios rip

ay, he's an underappreciate god

[balmy wolf]

I literally never saw him play McCree today

[gentle shuttle]

i'm hearing people are complaining about rein?

nerfing rein? tf

[balmy wolf]

wha

[solid spear]

Meh

Reins fine

[gentle shuttle]

idk why they have SDB on tank role outside of tripple tank

[balmy wolf]

Because they have terrible team cohesion

[gentle shuttle]

ye it's pretty weird

and dayum this Rogue forward hold on Kings Row DEF agaisnt Tempo Storm

the disrespect lols

[solid spear]

excited for tomorrow

[balmy wolf]

Liquid vs Rogue

[forest raven]

Liquid gonna be 2nd in group 👌

[balmy wolf]

My boys 🙏🏻

[forest raven]

If Liquid places 2nd in the group they should be up against Rise

Rogue's gonna go up against LGE

[balmy wolf]

Rise vs Liquid should be interesting

[forest raven]

Selfless most likely to go against Tempo

CLG most likely against LGL

Though that's subject to change in the last two days of groups

[balmy wolf]

Well Rogue will be top of Group B 100%

[forest raven]

Ye

But FaZe still has their game against Tempo, LGL against Liquid, and Tempo against $?

FaZe v Tempo is very important for both teams

[balmy wolf]

So at the end of tomorrow Liquid will 3-1, Rogue 4-0 and FaZe vs Tempo is a little closer but probably Tempo

So 2-2 Tempo, 1-4 FaZe

then 0-4 $?

Loyal vs Liquid on Saturday is quite a close game with how Liquid has been doing

[forest raven]

I think the match between LGL and Liquid will determine who's 2nd

[balmy wolf]

Well Loyal has another guaranteed loss vs Rogue

[forest raven]

Yeah

If LGL loses Liquid will be 4-1, if LGL wins they'll be 3-2 and Liquid will be 3-2

[balmy wolf]

So ignoring the first game vs Liquid for a sec it will be Liquid 3-1 and Loyal 2-2

So if Loyal wins its basically down to whoever has won more rounds

[forest raven]

Yeah

[balmy wolf]

Or the round difference

I should say

Which liquid is +4 for right now

and Loyal at +2

[forest raven]

I think Joshy said it was the head-to-heads which determine who goes where

[balmy wolf]

[forest raven]

idk

[balmy wolf]

Well if Liquid is good enough to take a map from Rogue then I think no matter what that should secure their 2nd place spot

Unless there's an upset and Loyal beats Rogue

But I highly doubt that

[forest raven]

koth was very close between FaZe and Rogue

It's possible for Liquid to take a map, definitely

[balmy wolf]

Ilios was the same deal in Liquid vs FaZe

Almost the exact same actually

Liquid ran Dahang and ID on Pharmercy for way too long, Rogue ran uNKOE and aKm on Pharmercy for way too long

Only difference was NiCO was on D.Va for a lot of the time to disrupt the Pharah

I am going to say that if Liquid ran ID on D.Va and Dahang on Ana for those juicy nanoblades, they would have sweeped Ilios 3-0

Same deal with Rogue

[forest raven]

I feel like Liquid performs better when ID's on off tank

[balmy wolf]

aKm on 76 and uNKOE on Zen

Discord Pharah/mercy

Easy kills

NiCO on D.Va aswell

To stay on Zombs when playing Widow

or in the case of the first time they played Ruins, SDB

[forest raven]

Even though Rogue looks to be running over these teams most of the time, it's definitely not like their OMM premiere. They're one comp is getting a bit predictable, I feel

Same deal with Selfless, imo. They run one comp that they but also the other team is familiar with

[balmy wolf]

Yep

Still working well though

[forest raven]

Ye

[balmy wolf]

I feel like by the time Rivalcade is here they will pull out a new comp

Outta nowhere

[forest raven]

They obviously have more knowledge on their own comp, and their comms, experience and raw mechanical skill puts them solidly ahead of the competition for now

Well, maybe not Selfless for all four of those, but Rogue definitely

Not many teams have as large a pedigree as Rogue does

[toxic yacht]

Remember how nV ran dives at ESL? Back when they could still do that?

Half their comps were dives

On 2cp they only dove

Kinda funny when you look back at it

[balmy wolf]

Talespin was the problem

[toxic yacht]

Definitely

[forest raven]

Gonna be interesting to watch new C9 with xepheR and Selly

[toxic yacht]

Btw, xepher was on dizziness

That one team with geguri and stuff

[balmy wolf]

tfw no idea what that is

[toxic yacht]

According to kaiser xepher is super fucking good though

Geguri was that one korean zarya girl

[balmy wolf]

Ah this one http://wiki.teamliquid.net/overwatch/Geguri

[toxic yacht]

Dizziness was the team with xepher and... Nanohana or Pine?

Dunno if xepher was the knife guy tho

[forest raven]

I've read that he was on the team but didn't make the comments

[toxic yacht]

Ah, like nano

I'm more excited about nV tbh

[balmy wolf]

No components for a Dive?

Sounds like they need some 2easy in their life

[toxic yacht]

I feel like people really underestimate them because they've been loosing to literally the best teams in the world

[forest raven]

Yeah lol

EnVy's gonna come back in Rivalcade and wreck shop

[balmy wolf]

I hope they don't

Because fuck Taimou

[forest raven]

Wait, it's Selfless, IMT, EnVy, C9, Splyce and coL + qualifiers right?

[toxic yacht]

Splyce + coL

Moreso coL than splyce

[forest raven]

Maybe not wreck shop, but EnVy will do really well

[toxic yacht]

nV gonna show those mid tier NA teams

[forest raven]

But the only mid tier NA teams in there (right now) are coL and maybe Splyce

[balmy wolf]

No theres Evil aswell

[forest raven]

Oh right

[toxic yacht]

Eh, wouldn't call them mid-tier just yet. They were literally rektening shop until their liquid match

[forest raven]

Yeah same

[toxic yacht]

They need a break, methinks

They've been competing nonstop for a while now

[forest raven]

Three OMM's, Carbon and now The Pit

[toxic yacht]

I'm just really curious about how NA will look because nV has all but abandoned the scene for over half a year now (well, there was MLG) while c9's been gone for 4 months and NRG completely rebuilt themselves

[forest raven]

I think clear cut top teams will be established in NA in the near future

Rogue, nV, Selfless and potentially C9 and NRG

[toxic yacht]

🙏 for NRG

Misfits probably too once they move to NA

[forest raven]

Ye

NRG's stacked

Just gotta develop that team cohesion

[solid spear]

on paper sure

[balmy wolf]

inb4 they suck

[forest raven]

[solid spear]

well see how good they are in practice in due time though

[toxic yacht]

I just want them to be good again

They had potential until Gods and Pookz left

They actually played LH uncomfortably closely back then

[forest raven]

Well, NRG is with Selfless, IMT and whoever qualifies 2nd in the upcoming OMM

[toxic yacht]

Not sure if it was 3-0 or 3-1, but it was much closer than the score would suggest

tbh it's probably RIP for NRG

Except they pull a Rogue and rek everyone

[balmy wolf]

Wait when did NRG play LH

Apac?

[toxic yacht]

Yee

I remember that push on illios well

NRG had 2 ults, LH 6

LH had 99

On point

I have no idea how they fucked up, but NRG took the point and won the round

With 2-6 ults

Yee, it was 3-1 and they almost won Illios

[forest raven]

What's Pookz doing these days

[balmy wolf]

I haven't heard anything about him since he left NRG

[forest raven]

Well

APEX tomorrow

[balmy wolf]

Oh apparently Pookz was on Kingdom for a bit

Looks like he subbed for the WP qual 1

[forest raven]

o

[gentle shuttle]

where do you guys estimate Selfless will measure up against NRG/NV/Rogue/they've probably played against C9 but I haven't seen it

[kindred brook]

has nV played recently?

in NA

[balmy wolf]

No

[toxic yacht]

Beat c9, Rogue is a toss up (although I put my bets on Rogue because I feel like they will bust their comp now that they understand it), NRG is ¯_(ツ)_/¯, nV will beat them

[gentle shuttle]

interesting

this months alienware should be pretty hype

[clever wagon]

haHAA

[kindred brook]

nV looked pretty awful in Apex tho 🤔

[toxic yacht]

Kinda like the February OMM

[clever wagon]

Not being turned into the haHAA emote, must be the lack of BetterDiscord

[balmy wolf]

[toxic yacht]

nV looked awful vs the best teams in the world, I wouldn't be that worried

[gentle shuttle]

i like Selfless over them tbh

[kindred brook]

nV struggled their way past teams that weren't very good

even their losses were awkward as hell

they weren't in a good spot, and they're probably in a worse one now with how little they've been practicing

Idk I'm just hyped for Taiwan LAN tomorrow

WOOO GO STRAYAAAA

this is gonna be interesting

hopefully liquid won't throw and pick eichenwald if they lose

[pine star]

Liquid rolling thru

[past oar]

nico playing like shit

[toxic yacht]

Liquid

[pine star]

Liquid choking on last point FeelsBadMan

[balmy wolf]

Chokequid

[past oar]

unkoe is insane on that hero

jesus

[pine star]

He's arguably the best Zen in the game

[past oar]

the right clicks, man

damn

[pine star]

The wait Rogue attacks is so fucking surgical

[past oar]

nico not having a good day :/

[pine star]

He doesn't have to apparently

Everyone on Rogue can carry lol

[past oar]

yea, team is compensating hard

he's been overextending pretty hard

for no reason

why would you defend with dive on kings row?

don't really understand that

anyone?

[pine star]

Works the same as dive attack

You dive into the incoming attackers

[past oar]

it didn't seem effective tho

Rogue got rolled as well

better team coordination gave them the edge at point C

[pine star]

Yeah well

Didn't work today

It works most of the time for them

[past oar]

i understand dive defense on Eichenwald due to so much verticality

but kings row is pretty straight forward

i really don't see the point

[pine star]

I'm sure they've practiced on it

[past oar]

yea, sure

[pine star]

And we haven't seen Knox on anything but Winston so

If it ain't broke don't fix it I guess lol

[past oar]

kinda sad actually, not seeing diversity in comps

[pine star]

They will be figured out sooner or later

And next patch will impact dive comp in a negative way

[past oar]

i don't believe that dive is the best comp for every map

but like you said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it

[pine star]

Neither do I

But they haven't lost a match ever with the new line up

[balmy wolf]

Man Heurix is a shit caster

[pine star]

I don't tend to shit on casters but

Yeah, he lacks

[balmy wolf]

Compared to these other guys here even

Not like ZP or Hex

He's bad in comparison to the rest of the Pit casters

[past oar]

funny cause what teams do in the west, repeating the same comp over and over, doesn't work at apex

[balmy wolf]

Stuttering, not knowing who is who

rambling

Mesr's rein

[pine star]

How the hell did Liquid won that won lol

[past oar]

man, these nico's dragonblades are painful to watch right now

such terrible blades

too bad genji is a hard hero to exploit

2-man sound barrier with 1min30 left

lol

[pine star]

WHY THE HELL NO ONE IS CONTESTING AKM

WHAT THE FUCK

[past oar]

because Rapha wasted sound barrier

[pine star]

This is the Grimreality syndrome all over again

[balmy wolf]

Choking on last again

Chokequid

[pine star]

LULquid

[balmy wolf]

They're slowly becoming their csgo counterpart

[pine star]

[past oar]

as soon as Rapha wasted the sound barrier, akm got tech visor

there was only 1 min left on the clock

so that was pretty much gg already

[pine star]

Rapha

The ArHaN of Lucios

[past oar]

rogue repelled the next attack with sound barrier and the last one with visor

Rapha literally ulted with his whole team dead

only him and rein were up

[pine star]

I for one agree with the caster

Nico should not ult lol

His blades have been atrocious, but his shuriken accuracy is 👌

[past oar]

it's kinda been overkill when he ults, cause Soon is actuallly finishing everyone off

he gets 1 kill per blade

[balmy wolf]

tfw your team uses nanoblade and you all die to the enemy dragonblade

[past oar]

see?

Soon is playing out of his mind today

[pine star]

Soon

[balmy wolf]

AZKarry

[past oar]

well

as a pro team, don't you know when the enemy genji has blade?

did you see the soldier like, totally asking to get dove

sitting in the corner of the stairs

lol

winston was like "don't worry, man. i'm here"

[pine star]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[past oar]

Rogue is too much for EU 😦

[pine star]

You mean NA

[past oar]

i mean WEST

lol

this team is just too good

can't wait for Rivalcade

[pine star]

Same

[past oar]

what's the criteria for the 1st map?

[balmy wolf]

What?

[past oar]

who chooses the 1st map

[balmy wolf]

Oh

No idea

coinflip maybe?

[past oar]

they just said rogue never got to pick a map

maybe is random

[pine star]

Rogue's positioning

[past oar]

this team is bold

I like them already

rogue just has too many carries

[pine star]

Yeah

You just can't focus fire anyone because literally all the others will rip your backline apart

[past oar]

these guys are good, man

[pine star]

basically
basically
essentially
basically
essentially
basically

Unkoe

[past oar]

they got outplayed now

by rogue's backdoor

it was a good attack tho

I mean, you're facing rogue

is winz the shotcaller for Rogue?

[pine star]

aKm landing airshots

Yeah

[past oar]

that widow did nothing lol

just mental pressure

control seems to be the way to go vs rogue

[pine star]

Not all maps are koth tho

Eventually they get to choose a map, and then gg

That assuming you can even manage to win to them on koth

[past oar]

i mean if by any chance the 1st map gets to be koth

you get to choose the 3rd

and have a pretty decent chance to win

[pine star]

Yeah but

It's not like it's easy to win them on koth

They still will probably win

[past oar]

yea, yea

absolutely

but you certainly not gonna pick eichenwald, are you?

like everyone did yesterday

[pine star]

[past oar]

at least this team had a plan

they did good

[pine star]

Tfw you do good against Rogue and you still didn't even get a map

[past oar]

lol

happens

this is an amateur team, isn't it?

[pine star]

Yeah

YGGP last on their group

That's what they get for having such a shit logo

I'm tempted to design one just to release salt out of my body

[past oar]

lmao

i hope they win now, vs TS

they're should be pumped

they*

[pine star]

Rogue defense gone wrong lul

[cloud harbor]

How do you find an eSports team?

[pine star]

What do you mean?

http://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/19103234/montecristo-doa-blizzard-overwatch-league

"Obviously we will serve as broadcasters for the Overwatch League once it begins in Q3 of 2017..."

Q3

[cloud harbor]

Like how do you get a hold of the teams to tryout?

[past oar]

thats july/august

[pine star]

Yeah but

The World Cup will have already started by that time

Will there be matches?

[past oar]

they have said that long time ago

[pine star]

I really don't think so

Long time ago we didn't know about WC

[past oar]

that owl would start on q3

isn't wc at blizzcon?

in november

[pine star]

Group stages are before Blizzcon

And are live finals all over the world

And also start on aug

[past oar]

where is it takin place?

wc, that is

[spring lintel]

Wtf was that from space?

[forest raven]

The top countries will play at blizzcon, not every country

[pine star]

The announcement said live lans on asia, europe, pacific and america iirc

[balmy wolf]

WC != OWL

[pine star]

@forest raven the ones that pass the group live stages

[past oar]

lans for qualifiers?

[pine star]

Lans for group stages

[past oar]

hmm

yea, we know Polo

[pine star]

@balmy wolf amm, who said that lol

I'm just wondering how is it gonna work out

With players from the potential league teams traveling for group stages

[past oar]

I wish they announced the owl format already

[pine star]

Yeah

We need to be fed

[past oar]

indeed

[pine star]

Monte is already signed to cast OWL, he probably knows something

Let's raid him 👀

[past oar]

if monte and doa are on board, the format is prob insane

cause they wouldn't sign up for something unknown

[pine star]

Also, the rest of the whole quote is interesting as well

@Obviously we will serve as broadcasters for the Overwatch League once it begins in Q3 of 2017, but we're also excited to serve as consultants to Blizzard as the broadcast and shoulder content takes shape..."

"shoulder content"

[past oar]

what does that even mean?

[pine star]

Content before the actual league starts

[past oar]

weird

maybe it's related to the promotion of the league?

idk

[pine star]

Maybe the league announcement will explode at the start/before group stages and the WC is like a marketing campaign to showcase players and advertise the League before it starts

And will get some sort of regular content going through the WC group stages

Like a "road to" kind of thing

[past oar]

yea, i've heard that theory before

[pine star]

Yeah

From me

Don't say otherwise

[past oar]

no, lol

[pine star]

[past oar]

Thorin was saying something similar

on their podcast

[pine star]

Yeah I heard his rant on Oversight

[past oar]

his and Monte's

yea

[pine star]

podcast
is not on iTunes

Thorin

Last WC was basically a hype event to announce the league tbh

[past oar]

it worked

[pine star]

Certainly did

They have been so quiet about the league ever since tho

Good thing is, they will probably release all the info at once soon enough

Hope it pays off

[past oar]

it's either gonna be insane or its gonna fail miserably

[clever wagon]

haHAA

[past oar]

that's fo sho

[pine star]

I hope for insane

If so

I'm not sure my body is ready for it

[past oar]

same

well, the news of monte/doa being on board already great

[pine star]

Tomorrow's finals are the last APEX match they will cast according to the article

[past oar]

yea

[pine star]

They will then move to NA

[past oar]

they might say something

hopefully

[pine star]

I don't think so

[past oar]

weren't you saying s3 as expected to been soonish, last night?

was*

to be*

sorry on mobile

[pine star]

Well, they said Q3 a long time ago

[past oar]

i mean apex s3

[pine star]

After the WC announcement and the dates they set for it I had my doubts

Yeah

It doesn't say they'll move as soon as they finish tho lol

[past oar]

weird

[pine star]

It will probably be like a couple weeks I reckon

[past oar]

hopefully dates won't overlap

don't see a reason to, actually

[pine star]

For some reason I believe the dates will overlap

But on purpose

[past oar]

apex without monte and doa will be sad tho

:(

[pine star]

Yeah

[past oar]

won't the korean teams play at owl?

[pine star]

They also said OGN still has english casting planned for APEX

So we'll have to wait who they hire

Yeah, one would think so

Then again, I don't know shit

[past oar]

yea

guess we have to wait

in the meantime we can enjoy future owl casters cast their last game in a few hrs

it's gonna be at 6am my time

[pine star]

It's gonna be at 5am my time

[past oar]

hopefully i won't sleep mid series

[pine star]

But I'll be taking a plane at 2am

So rip me

[spring lintel]

Lol wtf is this match 😂👌🏻

[past oar]

won't be able to watch?

[pine star]

[spring lintel]

Temp of storm gets the point to 99% and the they choke and lose 😂
