I wish everyone could be the winner.

[simple venture]

A league of legends streamer assembles an amateur team

and wins an OGN event

there can't be a better storyline than that

[astral fern]

LOL

[forest raven]

Both RunAway and Lunatic-Hai have amazing stories that would be beautifully concluded with winning APEX Season 2

[true tide]

On DoA and Monte's last cast.

It would be amaze.

[astral fern]

LH deserve it most though

[silk linden]

the chat is split. The match went to the last map. This couldn't have been better

[green cove]

I think this has been the best game for them to be their last Korean cast

[silk linden]

[clever wagon]

CMON RUNAWAY PLAY LIKE YOU'LL DIE IF YOU LOSE

[quaint stirrup]

HERE WE GO

[simple venture]

[pearl aurora]

[quartz compass]

kyaaaaaa

my senpaiiii

[silk linden]

[green cove]

lmao true

[clever wagon]

Oh well

RunAway ended this with a bang I guess

[green cove]

I feel really bad for RA tbh

[quasi python]

RIP

[green cove]

[forest raven]

🇰🇷 LUNATIC-HAI wins OVERWATCH APEX SEASON 2 4-3 over RUNAWAY 🇰🇷

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/overwatch/Overwatch_APEX/Season_2

[ripe sigil]

Don't let all this celebration distract you from the fact that Runaway blew a 3-1 lead

[edgy remnant]

Nvm found it

RunAway choke

[silk linden]

PSG memes incoming

actually, more like Liverpool-Milan

[green cove]

Runaway are Warriors confirmed

[wheat karma]

esca started picking up from that point though

[true tide]

I'm not crying. You're crying.

[wheat karma]

which was the reason Runaway was winning.

[silk linden]

yeah

[wheat karma]

well most of it

as they could just walk through and not care

because Ana wasn't dying to esca

[silk linden]

as I said, Hai were an Esca away from being utterly dominating

[quaint stirrup]

Feelsgoodman

[supple nymph]

how much would you have to play to get tracking that gud

[true tide]

all of it

[green cove]

all the plays

[gritty crow]

Rip Runaway good job LH y'all earned it

[spring lintel]

They did great dude

[quartz compass]

next world champion !

again.

[forest raven]

Just

What an amazing series

[spring lintel]

They had one of the three best genjis in the world. The best rein. But LH had the best ana and the best winston

[silk linden]

best OW tournament so far imho

[spring lintel]

While also having one of the three best genjis

[jagged crater]

LH had esca , the meme dps

[forest raven]

It took them about 6 months, but Lunatic-Hai finally won a LAN

[spring lintel]

Also esca

[green cove]

that was the best set of games Ive seen ina long time and easiest the best final

[supple nymph]

@forest raven what are they saying can you translate

[forest raven]

Dude idk

I'm super white

[simple venture]

whoru might be taking a tilt

at top genji a

after that

[spring lintel]

Nope

[astral fern]

those suits are awsome

[true tide]

I guess everyone had a tux dress code?

[green cove]

atleast RA got some cash and will no doubt get picked up by a big org

[gritty crow]

I missed the eich match, how'd it go?

[spring lintel]

Shadowburn, haskal, and whoru.

[jagged crater]

whoru was almost exclusviely usin genji that series, he did good too

[simple venture]

OGN has a wardrobe department

[true tide]

Badly @gritty crow

[simple venture]

all of the talent is dressed by the TV station

[spring lintel]

Runaway got stomped

[true tide]

RunAway fell apart.

Like, just fell apart.

[astral fern]

genji ranking 1.whoru 2.hacksal 3.shadowburn

[forest raven]

100k viewers on Twitch alone for an esport less than a year old

[astral fern]

.

[spring lintel]

They are all the top 3

[forest raven]

Less than a year old

[spring lintel]

No rankings

[gritty crow]

Full holds? @true tide

[green cove]

FeelsGodMan

*Good

[silk linden]

I like seagull and shadder better than whoru on genji, but he's still top

[astral fern]

lol

[spring lintel]

The first point they got rolled

[true tide]

No, they just played like they were soloq with no mics @gritty crow

[gritty crow]

Oh jeez

[supple nymph]

yea these teams did ok but wait until NRG stats competing

[spring lintel]

The first round was brutal

[gritty crow]

Oh no

[astral fern]

@silk linden seagull isnt a top 3 genji and korean genjis are udoubtedly the best genjis

[pearl aurora]

im just gonna shut the tab now

[true tide]

It was just a complete mess.

[jagged crater]

need to see more international competition, havent seen NRG compete in a while

[spring lintel]

I cant wait for NRG

[true tide]

@forest raven, that's just on the english stream too. So amazing.

[spring lintel]

Their roster looks phenomenal

[forest raven]

Nah, between the Korean, English and LTJ's host it was 100k total

ANd that's just Twitch

[jagged crater]

haksal looks like the most mechanically skilled genji from my eyes

[forest raven]

That's not counting YouTube, AfreecaTV, live audience or Korean TV

[spring lintel]

Whoru is good with his shurikens

[paper thistle]

YouTube had ~30k

[balmy wolf]

[jagged crater]

korean orisa

[balmy wolf]

[spring lintel]

Theres a utube stream?

[supple nymph]

korean orisa with no african accent

my brain

[paper thistle]

The youtube was korean

[forest raven]

Copying straight from Slasher @balmy wolf

[silk linden]

envyus listed as EU, I was told they were NA

[jagged crater]

did any korean team pick orisa?

[simple venture]

youtube had 60k combined

[jagged crater]

like even for a minute

[simple venture]

eng and kr stream

[forest raven]

So that's about 160k from just Twitch and YT

[balmy wolf]

Its better than Slashers

[spring lintel]

Is overwatch actually young?

[balmy wolf]

Yes

[forest raven]

Less than a year old

[paper thistle]

It's pretty young, yeah

[jagged crater]

if you include beta, it's almost 2 years old

but it's a very different game in beta

[forest raven]

Like, LoL didn't start being the esports juggernaut it is until like year 3 or 4

[silk linden]

if you look at the major esports, ow is a baby when compared to them

[balmy wolf]

well it was close

[true tide]

OW is very very new. It's amazing that they're pulling these kinds of numbers.

Or even have this level of quality play.

[forest raven]

I'd say over 200k people watched the finals

[balmy wolf]

I was predicting 4-3 for Runaway

[dawn patrol]

Yeah, pretty much

[balmy wolf]

close

[forest raven]

Same

[proud hornet]

the comebacks tho

[forest raven]

Didn't expect LH to roll on Eich

[jagged crater]

csgo took 2 years before it reached 100k numbers on grand finals?

[proud hornet]

i feel like runaway was playing more consistently throughout

[true tide]

They were.

[jagged crater]

mvp translator guy

[balmy wolf]

If Esca gets mvp im done

[proud hornet]

that eichenweild game

[true tide]

They just forgot to play games on EICH.

[dawn patrol]

And for an unsigned team as it were.

[proud hornet]

dude no way

[spring lintel]

To me it looked like runaway played in a map they were shit on

[proud hornet]

ryujehong/miro for mvp

[true tide]

Runaway were 3-0 Eich, it's 'their' map.

[proud hornet]

ya

[spring lintel]

Like there's no other explanation other than tilt

[true tide]

I literally can't believe they just .. let it end like that.

[spring lintel]

The first round was fucking dirty af

[balmy wolf]

Obvs

Jehong

[spring lintel]

Jehong carried a bit tbh

[forest raven]

Ryujehong voted fan MVP

[green cove]

obvs

[proud hornet]

dude that guy is ana god

[true tide]

If they'd lost on any other map, I think I would be able to take it better. Because okay, not their map, it happens.

But Eich?!

[green cove]

his ana is great

[balmy wolf]

Jehong will get MVP aswell

[spring lintel]

Just imagine south korea world cup roster

[true tide]

RIP other countries.

[jagged crater]

mickie! XFD

[spring lintel]

Like who can even beat them

[forest raven]

Even though I was rooting for RunAway, I'm really happy for Lunatic-Hai

[supple nymph]

did he just win 2 million dollars

[proud hornet]

man i feel like stitch > esca

[spring lintel]

I wonder if they have a godly hitscan like in the west?

[forest raven]

Stitch is fucking amazing

[proud hornet]

esca tracer was inconsistent

[forest raven]

He's the best player on RunAway

[spring lintel]

Like dafran, iddqd, taimou

[jagged crater]

omg a white dude

[forest raven]

Stitch and Nanohana spring to mind for top tier hitscan in Korea

I'm forgetting some, for sure

[true tide]

OH NO!

Kaiser is blaming himself.

[balmy wolf]

Tears

[true tide]

He tweeted, that he thinks they lost because of him.

[balmy wolf]

[spring lintel]

Stitch doesnt seem insane like iddqd and tiamou

[proud hornet]

man kaiser carried the route 66 game

[jagged crater]

stitch barely gets recognition, it's usually haksal or kaiser being the stars

[proud hornet]

ya

[balmy wolf]

Stitch carried what he could

[proud hornet]

stitch is one of those non flashy, consistent players

[spring lintel]

Stitch seems like he is doing the normal clean up duty

[jagged crater]

stitch is like azk or krimz

[forest raven]

Stitch was the only reason they got first on Eich

[spring lintel]

Nothing too insane

[proud hornet]

yeap

[jagged crater]

not a flashy player, but a consistent player that gets the job done

[balmy wolf]

What do you mean nothing too insane

[spring lintel]

Yeah his first point eich play was very good

[jagged crater]

$40 million omg

[astral fern]

why does jehoung get soo much fucking money compared to his team

[proud hornet]

polo i really want the sweaters now

[balmy wolf]

yee

[green cove]

[jagged crater]

😦

[strong relic]

kox looks dead inside

[paper thistle]

I feel bad for runaway

[green cove]

[forest raven]

[paper thistle]

They did quite well

[jagged crater]

losing a 3-1 lead does suck tho

[proud hornet]

lmao ya kox looks like he didnt wanna be there

[green cove]

they did really well

[jagged crater]

feels worse than the 0-4 last season

[proud hornet]

they had momentum going too with 3-1

[burnt token]

who was mvp i think i missed it

[forest raven]

BIG BOSSES

[paper thistle]

Ryujehong

[forest raven]

[burnt token]

no suprise there he carried first 3 games really

[jagged crater]

ryujehong was viewer's mvp

like mickie last season

taimou was finals mvp last sseason

[edgy remnant]

I wish they gave this guy a better mic

[jagged crater]

but could be the same person

!

[spring lintel]

Who is that kid with them?

Is he in their team?

[forest raven]

That's WhoRU

[jagged crater]

is whoru actually very young or he a midget

[forest raven]

WhoRU's around 16

i thought it was whore-u

[true tide]

You're 1 when you're born.

[paper thistle]

OOh, okay

[true tide]

Then you age a year on NY

[supple nymph]

im retart

[strong relic]

i expected esca mvp

[proud hornet]

pls no

[spring lintel]

Wtf ryuu was clearly the MVP

[balmy wolf]

They cant give him both awards

[proud hornet]

^^

[spring lintel]

What award did he get?

[true tide]

So you can be 2 years old, even though you haven't had your first bday.

[green cove]

agreed

[balmy wolf]

Viewer Voted MVP

[spring lintel]

Oh

Okay good

[true tide]

IIRC.

[strong relic]

i wonder who twitched would have picked...

[gentle shuttle]

ah ffs runaway lost :C

aww

[balmy wolf]

Probably the same @clear compassng#9417

[astral fern]

miros i am the best xD!!

[jagged crater]

twitch would've picked the ryu or miro

[proud hornet]

^^

[spring lintel]

Miro looks so weird

[proud hornet]

miro is the asian harry potter

everytime i look at him hes harry potter

[spring lintel]

He looks like he is always smiling

But in a scary way

[green cove]

my gf just said that to me lmao xD

[proud hornet]

dude even when they were down 3-1 he still looks calm af

tobis lucio on volskaya

[green cove]

tbf LH are long overdue something like this

[jagged crater]

all the LH fangirls tho

[forest raven]

Yeah @green cove No matter which team won, it would have been an amazing conclusion to amazing storylines

[green cove]

yeah

[jagged crater]

[green cove]

totally agreed

end of the day both teams deserved it for different reasons

[forest raven]

Lunatic-Hai fought their way to the finals of APAC and fell to Rogue, fought to the finals of IEM and fell to LW Blue, and now they fought to the finals of APEX and finally won

[pine star]

So,. LH won

[green cove]

yup

[forest raven]

Indeed

[proud hornet]

man their struggle and comeback 👏

[forest raven]

And if RunAway had won, it would have been an amazing Cinderella story of sheer determination and perseverance

[pine star]

I'm conflicted because I really like both teams lol

[proud hornet]

same

[green cove]

exactly

[jagged crater]

how old is ryu?

[astral fern]

all of them crying over winning only 90k lol

[green cove]

I'd of been happy with either result tbh

this one just ups my Strafe score lmao

[forest raven]

@astral fern There's a lot more to it than $90k

[green cove]

^^^

[pine star]

Omg fucking 2easy at it again

[jagged crater]

the reward money is just a bonus

[pine star]

https://twitter.com/TwoEasyOW/status/850699792443420677

[jagged crater]

you get reputation

more potential sponsors and fans

[pine star]

No wonder he doesn't get a team

[forest raven]

And especially for Lunatic-Hai, winning here means so much @jagged crater

[green cove]

and with the bad rap they had earlier in the year#

this is a massive morale boost for them

[limber pine]

i don't understand how a Bo7 invites randomness

[forest raven]

It's TwoEasy

He's a drunk old man yelling at clouds

[jagged crater]

twoeasy doesnt value endurance

[proud hornet]

lol draw

[green cove]

it's just white noise now lmao

[jagged crater]

i think endurance is ok to be part of a series

it's part of other sports

what makes them competitive

[green cove]

its good for both the players and viewers tbh

[severe cedar]

average round times are really low compared to other esports

[forest raven]

I think RunAway fell victim to the same tilt that lead to them getting rekt by Panthera all the way back in groups

[severe cedar]

so bo7 is fine

[jagged crater]

it took 4 hours?

to go through the entire set

[paper thistle]

Over that

[proud hornet]

whoru is adorable af

[green cove]

we had stupid long pauses tho

[forest raven]

THREE WEEKS

WHAT

[paper thistle]

It started about ~5 hours ago

[severe cedar]

pauses/breaks/ads/ etc

[quasi python]

is not that long

[past edge]

3 WEEKS!!!

[green cove]

WHAT THE FUCK

[forest raven]

[proud hornet]

damn

[jagged crater]

wait what did he say what starts in 3 weeks?

[quasi python]

try watch bo5 dota lol

[past edge]

season 3

[jagged crater]

alrady

[paper thistle]

Haha, that translator was great

[proud hornet]

lmao

[jagged crater]

freakin games between season 2 took weeks

[quasi python]

always sleep mid game

[pearl aurora]

tbh bo7 seems really drawn out but

better than bo5

[forest raven]

APEX Season 3 begins on the 28th April!

[severe cedar]

they'll tone it down for sure after ow picks up

[jagged crater]

i thnk bo7 is good because it at least forces teams to play each mode once

[quasi python]

that fast

[green cove]

it best not be as long this time

[jagged crater]

some teams are better on 2cp others payload

[pearl aurora]

yeah

[clever wagon]

Thanks Upcomer for giving me a notification of the result 👌🏻

[jagged crater]

as shown here LH dominant on payload

[proud hornet]

they only did 1 koth right? oasis?

[green cove]

yeah

[quasi python]

pacific time!

[proud hornet]

dude that was a good finals

[pearl aurora]

bo7 just leads to morale gettin real shit and people tilting

[proud hornet]

im glad its not a stomp all the way

[forest raven]

I need APEX's theme song

[green cove]

^

agreed

im out now guys, been fun talking with you all, peace

[paper thistle]

That was a good morning

[jagged crater]

even haksal switched around zarya and mei

[forest raven]

He played D.va at one point

[jagged crater]

[pearl aurora]

runner is looking straight into the camera with eyes that say "end me"

[supple nymph]

i would be happy to win $40,000,000 even in 2nd place

[forest raven]

My boys in blue up 1-0 on Detonator Gold

[pearl aurora]

i feel so bad for them

[strong relic]

its more about the pride than money at this point

you're looking at a darkhorse team who was up 3-1

[pearl aurora]

i think it's just the fact that they got reverse stomped on their own maps

[proud hornet]

meh ya

eichen was their map no?

[rapid oxide]

I've mixed feelings

[pearl aurora]

yes

[quasi python]

so sad

[rapid oxide]

Happy for lh, sad af for runaway

[quasi python]

genji onion

😦

[pearl aurora]

lh deserved that win but man

[strong relic]

two things i've noticed

1. tilt gets to runaway

[rapid oxide]

Both deserve it

[strong relic]

2. a consistent esca means a dominant LH

[jagged crater]

runaway gotta get a sponsor now right

[pearl aurora]

obv both deserve it but

probably

[proud hornet]

yung yes

[pearl aurora]

even though they got their hearts torn out this season

[proud hornet]

i feel like the first 3 games esca was either doing really well or nothing

[pearl aurora]

doesn't mean next season won't be better

[jagged crater]

ending on an emotional mini documentary, i like it

that was nice

[proud hornet]

but then after that he was more consistent

[supple nymph]

100k viewers on the competition: https://www.twitch.tv/starladder_cs_en

[pearl aurora]

they were able to pull off some really good stuff and they're just an amateur team so 👌

[proud hornet]

man they better be getting sponsors now

ill be sad if they dont, they played really well

[pearl aurora]

they need a team house

[jagged crater]

The funny thing is I would've missed this apex final and just went straight to sleep had I not saw it on the bnet launcher. Props for blizz advertising apex

this is the first tournament outside of world cup they actually advertised right?

[pearl aurora]

yeah they're really pushing for ow to become an esport and it's working

[jagged crater]

dont remember ever seeing tournaments on the bnet launcher otherwise

[pearl aurora]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[supple nymph]

i can never unsee cs:go as a soldier vs soldier custom game

looks so bland and boring after overwatch

[jagged crater]

naaah i dont see that

soldier vs soldier custom game feels more like CoD than CS

CS is still rich in depth if you factor in team coordination, gunplay feeling (recoil) , grenades

[supple nymph]

April 28

My life is not done yet!

[pine star]

Wonder who the invited western teams will be

[supple nymph]

[forest raven]

Just realised that the Aussie WC team will be Blank + Custa

Poor Gunba

Blank 3-0'd Detonator Gold

[true tide]

/me picks up heart

Well, you know, April is a good month.

[severe cedar]

there's always season three for you to throw more at

[rapid oxide]

I hope no one honestly

From this apex s3

I want an Atlantic showdown

I want top team western compete

Dont want some of them busy in korea for months

[forest raven]

I don't want a repeat of NGE and the OCS

[rapid oxide]

Also they will reduxe the spot from 4 to 2

I said atlantic showdown indeed

[forest raven]

I want all the top NA orgs (+ Rogue) to stay in NA and spur the weaker teams

[rapid oxide]

Or eleague

You know why they did nge and ocs?

Because the good team were busy in korea

[forest raven]

Exactly

[rapid oxide]

So you invite tier 2 team

[forest raven]

I mean yeah it'd be awesome to see teams like Selfless, Rogue, IMT etc. to play against Koreans but I want them to stay in NA

[rapid oxide]

For me, nge was better than ocs

[forest raven]

Agreed

Though OCS def had better casting

[rapid oxide]

Atleast was "lan"

Imo nge caster weren't terrible

But dont consider my feedback

[forest raven]

No, I don't think they were, but they weren't that great either

[rapid oxide]

Idk

Im shit at eng so i dont pay attention at casters lol

[forest raven]

kek

[rapid oxide]

I understand 75% of it

With uber goes to 25% because speak so fucking fast

But i love his hype

As sojum said before, bring uber, jkap, hex, and hex

And i can die i peace

I never doubt esca 😊

[true tide]

There aren;t going to be any Western teams in S3 right?

Everyone is gearing up for OWL, and OGN can't afford to keep hosting them IIRC.

[rapid oxide]

taken from a old reply

i think ogn invited west team because they wanted to """boost""" the viewership

i think we reach a point that we will see apex even if its full korean team

times ago we would be like "only koreans? im not interested"

even if japanese or italians are the best teams in the world

[clever wagon]

Well now they've proven that as it stands...

[rapid oxide]

no one will watch them

but if u mix it with someone known boom!

helsinki lan was meh

but nip was in there

boom 17k views

i will watch apex s3 now, even if there are 0 western team

time ago? i wouldnt

[balmy wolf]

fell asleep in the middle of map 2

woke up and lunatic-hai won

FeelsGoodMan

[rapid oxide]

if u fall asleep cuz of the match, your standards for a match are too fucking high lol

[balmy wolf]

i mean

3 hours for 1 map

[rapid oxide]

i think they did that to make the ticket worth

[balmy wolf]

so they're implying that the matches themselves aren't worth? Xd

[rapid oxide]

just look at super bowl

it last 7 hours lol

with middle and early show

and late show

(iirc)

[quasi python]

it looks like watching an episode of running man show

[rapid oxide]

oh, there was a paladins major

i believe u

it's nice that LH finally won something, lol

[vestal mortar]

[versed gate]

honestly

let me represent mexico in the world cup

[toxic yacht]

One of the guys picking the team members?

[digital pond]

Tobi had 40 final blows this final lmao

[toxic yacht]

well, looks like you were wrong about LH not winning this one

could have gone either way though

[digital pond]

RunAway lost their stride after Hanamura.

[pseudo sail]

I kinda was, yeah 😅

[digital pond]

It felt more like it was RunAway's series to lose entering it to me.

And LH just grabbed the momentum and went with it.

[pseudo sail]

to be fair, RA got the best possible draw they could have, even got oasis...

[lean jay]

@lone estuary danke

Where do I go if I want a high rank player to review my gameplay i wonder

[supple nymph]

i dunno about high rank but post here https://flowfeedback.com/group/overwatchuniversity then post a link in the vod review channel on the overwatch university discord

[clever wagon]

Just got OBS and realized that recording with indistinguishable quality 720p60 has 0 performance impact

@supple nymph some of the memes state that OWUni is plat players teaching plats or w/e, do I have to look out for that

[supple nymph]

im barely diamond so i wouldnt know if that's a problem

but i guess if there aren't people above plat willing to give advice there i dont know where they would be

[vague topaz]

Try to get good at zarya and you will rank up

She's pretty balanced and can help w/ everything

[supple nymph]

... good advice

[clever wagon]

I've been playing since S2 to know that

I'm bored with her and my current game sense is set to Hog/dps that my Zarya became so shit so I prefer advice on them rather than Zarya

[vague topaz]

Honestly rely on yourself if you wanna get the job done

Don't rely solely on the supports heals - always go for health packs

[clever wagon]

I'm not asking for generic advice like pick Zarya

Stop

[vague topaz]

Positioning is huge

[clever wagon]

I'm asking for gameplay review and I'm posting it somewhere else

So no, you're not helping

[vague topaz]

Well what a nice way you to put it

Good luck in you grind

[fleet idol]

Where do ppl post vod reviews?

[clever wagon]

Because people like you just assume that I lack these basic knowledge

[vague topaz]

Meh I don't know your skill level, thought to give quick and easy input

[clever wagon]

I need specifics like where in this play I made a mistake and what I couldve done better and whatnot

Then ask SR first

Saved your energy lol

[balmy wolf]

Guys this isnt the channel for any of this

[clever wagon]

What can or should I drill into my automated train of thought etc

Well I moved my question to DM with Ford and didnt talk about this further than that until Wasabi came in

[fallen cave]

When is the minor tournement

[rapid oxide]

Im triggered when people compare lol vs ow esport

[balmy wolf]

@forest raven are you going to remove the OGN twitch link in the topic?

[forest raven]

I can't edit channel descriptions but I'll inform an admin

[balmy wolf]

👌

Just trying to keep it up to date

[forest raven]

2nd 3-0 for Blank

🐨 🇦🇺

[vestal mortar]

😮

[forest raven]

They 3-0'd a team that 3-0'd a team yesterday

And this 3-0 was a bit better for Blank

They're settling in

[balmy wolf]

they are going to become gods

[rapid oxide]

[balmy wolf]

indeed

[forest raven]

I want Blank to win the OPC just so it's more likely for an org in NA to look their way

Get that sweet NA money

[balmy wolf]

I didnt think about that

thats true

they are getting really good

[forest raven]

I'd say they're below IMT and LGE

[balmy wolf]

Tier 2

most likely

[forest raven]

I'd put IMT and LGE at the top of NA tier 2

[balmy wolf]

I'd put Blank with them

[forest raven]

Yeah, but not at the top

[balmy wolf]

of course

[forest raven]

imo I think they'd trade maps with LGL

And that's coming from an Aussie fanboy of Blank

[balmy wolf]

it is overwatch, you never know what can happen

[forest raven]

Yeah true

We'll never know until they do actually go to NA, though

[balmy wolf]

thats also true

[forest raven]

And the OPC doesn't end until July

[balmy wolf]

they could blow in NA

I doubt it because they can only get better

[forest raven]

Mhm

[balmy wolf]

I dont see them getting worse

[forest raven]

I think Blank have been in Taiwan for like three days, have had two days of practice in the last fourteen and this is their first LAN ever

[balmy wolf]

wow

[forest raven]

This was their weakest week and they 3-0'd both their games

[balmy wolf]

yeah, but just think.. they can only get better

they will become gods

thats what Im saying

like C9, in the beginning of OW

[forest raven]

imo it'll be Flash Wolves and ahq that have the biggest chance to beat Blank

[balmy wolf]

🤔

or an upset

[forest raven]

Flash Wolves has the Zonda carry and ahq looks strong, too

[balmy wolf]

lmao Zonda

ikr

[forest raven]

But Blank also has Trill, smasher of good ults

And eatuup

[balmy wolf]

they are all good players

[forest raven]

For sure, but those two are the stand outs on Blank, imo

[balmy wolf]

I thought SereNity was a standin

is he still there?

[forest raven]

Stand outs as in outstanding performances

[balmy wolf]

yeah

i know what you meant

[forest raven]

Serenity is a coach/manager

[balmy wolf]

but why did he standin

[forest raven]

Guess Aetar was unavailable during the Summer Series

[balmy wolf]

ahh

I was watching some of their older games

or trying to find some

[forest raven]

I can DM you the vods of the grand final of the Summer Series

[balmy wolf]

that would be great

If Blank would trade maps with loyal they would be pretty shit tier when it comes to top NA teams

[forest raven]

I'm being conservative

[balmy wolf]

^^^

they are still good

[pearl aurora]

when's the next match 👀 ill watch with y'all

Playoffs for The Pit EU begin in just over 6 hours
