fuck, @waxen root has pinged me between ROUNDS

waxen root
#

this is the bracket

#

lol

fierce geode
#

@waxen root this is sort of off topic but theres a pretty popular streamer called lassiz that is branded by team dignitas, does he have anything to do with you guys?

waxen root
#

hes a sponsored dignitas streamer

#

not in our overwatch team thoguh

fierce geode
#

ah i see, thanks\

toxic yacht
#

Inb4 Lassiz moves to EU and you get a 7-man roster

jagged crater
#

is lassiz actually a pro or just a streamer

waxen root
#

a streamer

#

he used to be a pro smite player for dignitas

fierce geode
#

i could totally see there being an eu team and an na team but teams rarely ever get subs for tank players

#

if im not mistaken lassiz plays a lot of tanks

digital pond
#

He mainly played Zarya and Rein the last season during early seasons though he played a lot of Genji.

#

A few pros have said his Zarya can be pro level. I just don't think he's interested in going pro yet.

#

He's been playing DPS heroes a lot more recently too.

digital pond
#

Holy fuck Jake has to be so angry straight up Quit the lobby and the game isntantly.

#

Like that was some premiere tilt from LGE.

limber pine
#

tbf

#

they got completely dismantled

digital pond
#

Yeah I felt a bit tilted myself and I'm not them. I mean I'm happy Liquid is looking good at the same time, but oof.

pine star
#

Yes hi

limber pine
#

oof

#

Oh? Isn't NRG playing in this month's AMM?

limber pine
#

fierce geode
#

pine star

πŸ”

fierce geode
#

im just stoked for Apex S3

#

i wanna see runaway make a comeback

rapid oxide
#

i want to see runaway win, fuck lh, fuck rogue, fuck nrg

fierce geode
#

i mean

#

im proud of LH

rapid oxide
#

i regret cheering for lh

fierce geode
#

they proved they had more endurance in a Bo7

rapid oxide
#

if it wasnt for endurance, runaway would probably win

fierce geode
#

but runaway was just getting fatigued by the end and i think they are the better team

#

exactly

#

but in a Bo7

#

that went all 7 games LH stayed really consistent

#

gotta admire them for that

rapid oxide
#

people are arguing that bo7 is too much

fierce geode
#

somewhere on reddit there was a post where runner said they had been at the stadium for 10 hours lol

rapid oxide
#

bo5 of mobas last more

#

i like ow also because its short compared to other games

fierce geode
#

i mean this would probably hurt viewership but what if they had 3 Bo5's three days in a row

#

meh thats stupid cause theres a chance they wouldnt get to the third day

balmy wolf
#

Of course they had more endurance in a bo7

#

They've played bo7s before

#

That was runaway's first

dusty surge
#

Are control maps Bo3 in PIT?

balmy wolf
#

Which explains why they did so well in the first 4 maps

fierce geode
#

bo5

balmy wolf
#

bo5

dusty surge
#

thanks

balmy wolf
#

Because it was like they were playing a bo5

#

win 2, lose 1, win 1

#

Win series

fierce geode
#

then lh won 3 straight

#

those last two games were too one sided

balmy wolf
#

Yep

#

Because LH is used to bo7

rapid oxide
#

nah

#

its because of esca

fierce geode
#

i mean i was talking with a friend about it and he was complimenting LH for two awesome performances at the end and honestly it didnt seem like they were really playing their best

#

i meant runaway wasnt

#

easy to beat a team that is getting tired

#

esca did really well at the end which made up for him doing meh for the first half of the series but honestly it felt like runaway wasnt really playing

rapid oxide
#

he got better after he swap to mei

#

ana shooting at pharah in 2017 lul

fierce geode
#

esca cleaned up with tracer in the last half

#

there was a point that runaway ran mei and went to ult as she died and the ult charge was gone but it never hit the ground

rapid oxide
#

gg riders

fierce geode
#

i think people went back to see it was not eaten by dva

#

so thats still fucked either way

toxic yacht
#

dva was out of mech at the time

rapid oxide
#

UNFIXED OUTDATED VALLUTAJA OVERRATED RUBIKON JEB.AITED EUNITED ELIMINATED

toxic yacht
#

but the blizzard wouldn't have caught anyone anyway

#

it'd have frozen them, but pretty much no one from runaway was on point at the time

#

so the bug didn't have an awfully large impact

balmy wolf
#

The only person that was in it at the time that couldn't easily get out was jehong

rapid oxide
#

*daddy

#

movistar improved a lot btw

#

like clg

toxic yacht
#

huh, then it was even less impactful than I thought

#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

#

well, at least the bug didn't lose them the tournament

balmy wolf
#

Im rewatching it now

#

Just so I dont get my facts wrong

#

so 1 sec

fierce geode
#

i mean if even one of them died it could have swung the fight

#

or at least given them enough time to fight back instead of stalling

balmy wolf
#

Okay so

#

If Blizzard went down

#

Miro would have been caught too

#

Because he used jump anticipating it but didnt jump far enough

#

so he would have definitely been in it, jehong maybe

#

it would have also forced LH off the point

#

Giving kox, stich and kaiser time to get back

#

Kaiser with shatter and stich with pulse bomb

toxic yacht
#

only miro would have gotten caught in that, jehong had enough time to get off point

#

miro also had a potential chance to escape, now that I'm looking at their positioning

fierce geode
#

okay but back that up for a second

#

the ult didnt go off

#

and he didnt have it

#

when he spawned

#

right?

balmy wolf
#

I thought miro was 100% out of it

#

because winston

#

but he leaped and hit the catwalk

toxic yacht
#

yep

balmy wolf
#

Yeah @fierce geode

#

Its a bug

toxic yacht
#

ult vanished

wanton bronze
#

everyone still running lucio?

balmy wolf
#

Where if you use mei ult just before you die

#

it doesnt go off

#

but it eats your charge

#

Yeah @wanton bronze

fierce geode
#

i know lol

wanton bronze
fierce geode
#

thats what im saying

#

the bug fucked them

#

even if it didnt go down he should have had it again

balmy wolf
#

We were saying that aswell .-.

toxic yacht
#

I mean, in the worst case scenario miro would have primal raged and gotten a jump reset

#

he primal raged really short after that anyway

#

due to the camera being on whoru it's a bit hard to see what was going on. but I really doubt that the blizzard would have changed all that much

#

maybe shaved some time off LH's push

wanton bronze
#

will be interesting to see pick rates in a week or two after this lucio change at least

balmy wolf
#

hunterz brings up a good point tho

toxic yacht
#

stitch also dropped the bomb the moment haksal used blizzard

wanton bronze
#

usually takes a while for stuff to kick in

balmy wolf
#

if it went off yeah it would have helped maybe

#

but if it didnt go off

#

and he kept it

fierce geode
#

^^^^^^

balmy wolf
#

he would have had it for next push

fierce geode
#

thank you

#

that's the point im getting at

balmy wolf
#

yeah so

#

they probably would have held then if he just threw it in the middle of the point

fierce geode
#

is the ult not like hanzo where he keeps it until the point where he looses the arrow? so even though the voice line goes off the ult stays

#

i think genji is the same way

balmy wolf
#

Yeah all ults

#

are like that

#

yeah so

#

if he kept ult

toxic yacht
#

genji goes off after he finishes the voice line

#

like with lucio

fierce geode
#

i mean who yells louder than the japanese brothers

balmy wolf
#

runner, kaiser and bumper were all on point

wanton bronze
#

lucio goes off when he hits the ground

balmy wolf
#

stitch too i think

wanton bronze
#

so he can finish the voice line if he is high enough

#

before the ult goes off

toxic yacht
#

I meant taht with lucio <.<

#

sorry

balmy wolf
#

Kaiser did fuck up the shatter though

fierce geode
#

yeah it was into a winston barrier, right?

toxic yacht
#

getting a dash -> ult -> dashcancel into lucio before he can land is satisying af, so yes

#

I know about the landing

fierce geode
#

im picturing the cringe now

balmy wolf
#

there was no barrier, no

#

but he went for whoru and esca

#

but only got esca

#

where the rest of the team was to his left

fierce geode
#

oh right right

toxic yacht
#

that was an na shatter

balmy wolf
#

like

#

he could have gotten 4

#

if he looked left

toxic yacht
#

and jehong healed esca anyway

balmy wolf
#

yep

#

that shatter was bad

fierce geode
#

there was def one he did on hanamura into a winston barrier

balmy wolf
#

so if he wasnt NA in that moment, and haksal came back with blizzrd

#

they would have held

toxic yacht
#

but looking at what would have happened if mei had come back with blizzard

#

the blizzard wouldn't have it anyone

#

they were all in a position to escape

#

but it would have forced them off point

fierce geode
#

but then they're off the point for the duration

#

exactly

balmy wolf
#

ehh

toxic yacht
#

eh

#

runaway got wiped

spring lintel
#

I heard that eunited is one of the top eu teams πŸ€”

balmy wolf
#

zunba would have been caught

toxic yacht
#

the moment haksal returned

balmy wolf
#

he was in the corner with bumper

#

tobi also probably would have been aswell

toxic yacht
#

I mean, they got wiped the moment haskal came back

#

so he'd have gotten instakilled the moment they unfroze anyway

fierce geode
#

kinda begs the question, how can overwatch be a legit esport with bugs like that?

balmy wolf
#

He still would have been able to stall with the blizzard icewall and invuln

rapid oxide
#

like if other game are bug free

fierce geode
#

i mean league has that software that lets you reset games at a specific point in time

toxic yacht
#

every game has bugs like this, what tilts me is how long it has been known and went without a fix

balmy wolf
#

kox was back aswell

#

so more time there

toxic yacht
#

whoru killed kox the moment he came back

fierce geode
#

not saying others are bug free

balmy wolf
#

not the moment

fierce geode
#

but they have no way of dealing with these bugs

balmy wolf
#

he stalled for at least 2s which is enough

fierce geode
#

could call for a redo?

balmy wolf
#

for kaiser to get back

wanton bronze
#

you cant really call for a redo though

fierce geode
#

yeah, blizzard could have shifted the game

balmy wolf
#

oh my god

fierce geode
#

that's what im saying

balmy wolf
#

that slash on bumper by whoru

fierce geode
#

you can't in most instances

toxic yacht
#

LH actually dropped a soundbarrier

#

it would have done nothing, now that I think of it

balmy wolf
toxic yacht
#

basically, tobi dropped sb

balmy wolf
#

fucking lol

toxic yacht
#

noreg?

balmy wolf
#

not even

#

that should not havve hit bumper

toxic yacht
#

oh

balmy wolf
#

he was out of los and 5m below him

#

but it hit

#

and killed him

#

before he could get mech

fierce geode
#

genji sword is bugged as hell lol

balmy wolf
#

stitch got 2 pulse bombs in that fight and whiffed both

toxic yacht
#

tobi dropped soundbarrier in anticipation for the blizzard

#

I really doubt that it would have changed much

#

probably taken 30 seconds off the timebank

#

at most

fierce geode
#

i was talking about when it happened on hanamura this whole time

toxic yacht
#

and runaway didn't cap second iirc

balmy wolf
#

yeah but we're talking about if he kept it

#

not if it went down

toxic yacht
#

if he kept it and dropped it after respawning

#

yes

fierce geode
#

lol sujum

#

sojum

#

whatever

#

that's what we've been saying this whole time

balmy wolf
#

oh right well

toxic yacht
#

tobi dropped it right after he respawned

#

he didn't know that blizzard got eaten by the bug

balmy wolf
#

this has been pointless then because ive been talking about volskaya

#

lul

toxic yacht
#

yee

#

I've also been talking about volskaya

#

lul

fierce geode
#

well it happened on both maps

#

iirc

#

so that's twice!

balmy wolf
#

holy shit

#

this hold by eU

fierce geode
#

am i crazy or is one of the casters loud as hell and the other is talking from his goddamn backyard

toxic yacht
#

haksal was only zarya on hanamura defense tho

#

he never went mei

fierce geode
#

guess im retarded

#

i was right about the NA kaiser ult on that map though

#

right into a winston barrier

rapid oxide
#

movistars improved a lot

fierce geode
#

is this game, MRD vs eUnited a bo3?

toxic yacht
#

reminds me of how skipjack accidentally dropped a winston barrier into JKW's earthshatter at dreamhack, lol

golden olive
#

Man Movistars is playing so good

rapid oxide
#

sk1pjack is still free agent...

#

...

forest raven
#

Lost with ult advantage LUL

fierce geode
#

pick him up

#

make a team

toxic yacht
#

it's not his fault that he's not french

fierce geode
#

lol

#

they got nico instead, right?

toxic yacht
#

yee

fierce geode
#

swapped out a tank for genji and it ended up working really well lol

forest raven
#

Rubikon can shoot good but he can't ult good FeelsBadMan

balmy wolf
#

his ult was fine

#

it was kruise's ult

fierce geode
#

are the finals for pit going to be NA vs EU in lan?

balmy wolf
#

that was bad

#

Nope @fierce geode

fierce geode
#

bummer

balmy wolf
#

Just EU finals and NA finals

golden olive
#

Would be awesome to pit them against each other

fierce geode
#

what im saying

balmy wolf
#

One team would be at a disadvantage anyway

golden olive
#

Do best of 7, do 3 in NA servers and 3 in EU servers

balmy wolf
golden olive
#

Then if it goes to 7 the last match is a coin flip

fierce geode
#

i said in lan guys

#

as in local area networking

forest raven
#

I hope dig beats EU after they get 3-0'd by movistar agilLUL

rapid oxide
#

i was like "i'm feeling this map will be for movistar" 2 sec later kill feed of 5 man in favor of eu

#

better if i stfu

#

i cheer for underdogs as always

fierce geode
#

it isnt over lol

rapid oxide
#

ye ik but was hilarious haha

forest raven
#

Eunited winning team fights pogW

balmy wolf
#

why do you not like eU draw

forest raven
#

Well they've been talked up by you guys and yes it was impressive beating misfits they're now losing to movistar rather hilariously

rapid oxide
#

movi - dig final woop woop

balmy wolf
#

Why is it hilariously?

forest raven
#

But they showed up that round of nepal

rapid oxide
#

that means... misfits is a shit team zaryalol

balmy wolf
#

They just barely lost r66

rapid oxide
#

didnt worth getting apex invite lul

balmy wolf
#

Would have won with a good ult from kruise

rapid oxide
#

just kidding

fierce geode
#

was it nrg and rogue that got invited?

rapid oxide
#

for season 3

fierce geode
#

yeah

rapid oxide
#

just for their result i think they didnt get an invite

#

even if the group was hard

balmy wolf
#

And you're saying that losing to Movistars is so bad after beating Misfits, but Misfits were 2-0'd by Dig aswell, so they're obviously not doing so hot and Movistar are a very strong team

rapid oxide
#

c9 and fnatic were both a joke

fierce geode
#

c9 now is doing the same thing as their league team and bringing in koreans to round out their roster

#

so they're probably gonna fuck

rapid oxide
#

*get fucked

#

c9 is kinda a joke in every esport tbh

balmy wolf
#

Rubi fragging

fierce geode
#

i mean i guess but they're #2 in nalcs right now

rapid oxide
#

Kolsti > Miro ?

#

nice joke

#

@fierce geode dunno about lol tbh... i refer at csgo team and ow one

#

MOVISTAR pogchimp

forest raven

Chases the 50hp soldier with a Winston on him instead of anyone else agilThinking

fierce geode
#

god i love mirror comps ...

#

their league team is very good but not #1, overwatch team needs work

#

what teams were neptuno and dante on? i recognize their names

balmy wolf
#

Neptuno was on Team Spain for the Wc

#

Dante is high on the ladder

#

They were both on mousesports

forest raven
#

Sharyk?

#

Did sharyk pull a grim and just walk off the map

gentle shuttle
#

suprising result

rapid oxide
#

sharyk could clutch imo

#

but didnt

#

gg movi

toxic yacht
#

movi won?

forest raven
#

Movi 3-0'd

#

Let's hope dig can get to the finals

balmy wolf
#

Sharyk's winston is pretty shit compared to his rein

if the finals end up being dig vs movi

well, this looks like shit

balmy wolf
toxic yacht

but it doesn't trigger the spaam filter

balmy wolf
#

Well first map Evil vs Liquid

#

Liquid pretty dominant

#

Evil's two stages were close wins

#

All of liquid's wins were pretty one sided

toxic yacht
#

Liquid so πŸ’ͺ

#

I'm so exceited for their future

balmy wolf
#

Shadder with 70 elims

#

65% kill participation

toxic yacht
#

jfc

pine star
#

Liquid looking stronk

#

I feel bad for LGE tho

solid spear
#

Why is that

balmy wolf
#

Rob playing a lot of Zen

#

Instead of ana

toxic yacht
#

well, that won't stop him from getting picked off first

#

pls don't kill me rob, this is just haffibanter

balmy wolf
#

well i mean

#

you say that

silk linden
#

Liquid should thank Seagull for making Shadder famous zaryalol

balmy wolf
#

but he is one of the first to go in the first fight on Lijiang

#

and 2nd fight

toxic yacht
#

he's usually always one of the first things whenever a teamfight goes south

#

which is not surprising since he's a support

#

I just notice it more with him, dunno if he legit dies more

#

or if it's just because I support LGE and always go "OH NO!" when he dies

balmy wolf
#

Liquids dive is working well for killing Rob

rapid oxide
#

Dig vs?

fierce geode
#

i was a big fan of lg evil since jake went on the overview but damn have they been on a downward slope

balmy wolf

Oh wait yeah

eu arent out yet

rapid oxide

πŸ‘Œ

balmy wolf

rapid oxide
#

Dig looks good yd. It will be a close match imo

fierce geode
#

who beat dig to put them in losers bracket?

forest raven
#

Eunited I believe

balmy wolf
#

eU

toxic yacht
#

eU

#

so it's a rematch

forest raven
#

But then they beat lk, nip and misfits to get here

balmy wolf
#

Mesr keeps diving in on his own

#

Like with no one else

#

into all of Evil

#

With discord

fierce geode
#

where is the NA game going on?

toxic yacht
#

well, ReU were also the ones who put Rogue into the losers bracket back at ESL, and Rogue proceeded to beat them in the finals.

Dig can do it

balmy wolf
#

The next NA match is in 7 hours

fierce geode
#

are you watching a vod, then?

balmy wolf
#

Yeah

#

Watching Liquid vs Evil

#

and then vs CLG

ReU never 1st

iddqd or taimou?

balmy wolf

on what

fierce geode

in any category

#

how about the easiest one. aim?

balmy wolf
#

No idea

#

Haven't seen iddqd play in months

#

and i barely watched apex so i havent seen taimou in ages either

fierce geode

what about who would you rather have on your team?

balmy wolf

He ended that tweet the worst way

"Im stepping down from"

dusty surge

Clickbaited

balmy wolf

But man

#

That is surprising

#

Also just before the AMM this weekend

#

like wtf

#

at least play in your new teams debut

#

you fuck

digital pond
#

Yeah the way the news dropped is actually pretty crap.

#

And they've been scrimming mainly with him to.

#

So we literally can't expect anything performance wise in the AMM.

#

Plus who would want his spot?

balmy wolf
#

I was pretty damn hyped

digital pond
#

OWL comes out and he decides to comeback for it for example.

balmy wolf
#

For their debut

#

now i kind of dont care

digital pond
#

You would need to be bigger than him to not get shafted.

#

The good old Calvin bait and switch

gentle shuttle
#

seagull stepped down from NRG?

toxic yacht
#

he would literally have played in 2 days

#

wtf

digital pond
#

He's doing a Calvin stepping down but streaming under them.

#

I'm expecting him to try and comeback when the OWL comes out.

#

Cause he isn't stepping down because he doesn't wanna play pro.

balmy wolf
#

Honestly why even scrim with NRG

#

if you're going to be a sub before their debut

digital pond
#

The issue is what pro player would feel secure replacing him on NRG consistantly under such circumstances.

#

When it obviously looks like he'll come back for OWL.

#

And playing in a tournament with 2 days and no scrim/practice to replace him.

toxic yacht
#

if the apex invite thing is also true (it hasn't been confirmed yet) then wtf?

gentle shuttle
#

do we know for sure that seagull has been on the scrimming roster

#

tho

digital pond
#

I mean.

toxic yacht
#

like, APEX is pretty major

digital pond
#

He was in every Dummy scrim video.

toxic yacht
#

dummy has scrim montages with seagull in them

silk linden
#

He made a decision long ago to stick to Esports despite having great potential as a main streamer, seems like a weird time to go back on that decision.

gentle shuttle
#

damn

digital pond
#

Which he made every so frequently.

toxic yacht
#

they're all recent scrims

silk linden
#

But whatever floats his boat

digital pond
#

Until a week and a half ago.

gentle shuttle
#

yeah Veex

balmy wolf
#

This must be april fools

#

just like

#

12 days late

digital pond
#

I mean the way he worded it seemed more like "Streaming until OWL" @silk linden

balmy wolf
#

pls seagull

blazing parrot
#

RIP Seagull

silk linden
#

He should have started sooner then

digital pond
#

Yeh idk

toxic yacht
#

also, mendo is replacing him, dunno why it wasn't in the tweet

digital pond
#

The whole thing is hella weird.

#

Oh he is?

silk linden
#

mendo is replacing him? NRG are literally the best team in the world

digital pond
#

I wonder what the actual visa issue is for Mendo and Kyb.

#

Cause Xepher and Selly got theres pretty fast.

#

theirs*

solid spear
#

I'm so confused

opaque owl
#

^ I just saw on harb's discord

#

Mendo is gonna play

gentle shuttle
#

okay so

balmy wolf
#

I thought Mendo was playing a LAN with Red Reserve soon

gentle shuttle
#

lets be real here

digital pond
#

The timing and all makes the situation sound hella fucking fishy lmao.

balmy wolf
#

This is the most confusing thing

gentle shuttle
#

mendo is gonna outperform Seagull

silk linden
#

esports team regulation is weird, I've always said it

gentle shuttle
#

then what happens when the OWL comes around

digital pond
#

Depends if he's in NA.

#

There's tons of factor for Mendo.

gentle shuttle
#

"oh..yea..Seagull. About that..."

solid spear
#

He's not

silk linden
#

we need fucking transfer windows

solid spear
#

Atm I'm pretty sure

toxic yacht
#

well, this should kill the APEX romours

#

methinks

digital pond
#

Is he in NA with actual ping? Have they scrimmed to play as a team?

toxic yacht
#

he's still in sweden

solid spear
#

Maybe not Sojum

toxic yacht
#

so they didn't take part in the AMM last month

#

only to have another high ping guy

#

lol

#

eh, seagull specifically mentioned small online tournaments

silk linden
#

that is a good point though, how in hell would they bring back seagull when he feels like it and kick out mendo, if the new lineup performs well?

digital pond
#

Not in a mean way but this feel like every roster made for seagull end the same.

toxic yacht
#

APEX is one of the most significant things in OW rn

digital pond
#

Even though this wasn't through gameplay but the hype died.

toxic yacht
#

actually, it's the most significant thing in OW

digital pond
#

Once again.

silk linden
#

like, Mendo is one hell of a second fiddle

digital pond
#

Definitely but he has to play well with the team.

toxic yacht
#

I can't imagine him being unmotivated to participate in that

digital pond
#

SDB rocks many beds.

#

But Faze isn't #1

#

I mean if he's streaming for the freetime to relax and the moneyz it makes sense.

#

It just is a weird ass time to do so.

solid spear
#

Yeah

balmy wolf
#

This is so confusing

solid spear
#

The timing seems awful

#

Not necessarily the decision itself

digital pond
#

I mean he'll get views.

balmy wolf
#

Also rip Red Reserve

digital pond
#

But there's a lot of established streamers that'll take away from him.

toxic yacht
#

thanks blozzod for the early owl announcement

#

lol

#

first you take EU

balmy wolf
#

Mendo was going to carry them to victory in the Copenhagen Games tourney

digital pond
#

Calvin and Gale away will take a lot of viewers.

toxic yacht
#

then you take Seagull

digital pond
#

alone not away

balmy wolf
#

You're saying calvin and gale will

#

Whereas there are other streamers

#

that get way more views than calvin and gale

digital pond
#

I'm using them as an example.

gentle shuttle
#

this timing man

digital pond
#

Cause they're the most consistant right now.

#

Sorry I didn't cite every streamers.

balmy wolf
#

moon and tim are way more consistent

#

like way way more

digital pond
#

I don't see them when they stream.

solid spear
#

Seagull will be back to being the most popular OW streamer of he does it consistently again that's not even a problem

balmy wolf
#

^

digital pond
#

The people on when I have the time to get on twitch are usually calvin and gale.

solid spear
#

But like man the timing for this

balmy wolf
#

He wont have any problem

digital pond
#

Almost like everyone watches at different times.

balmy wolf
#

To get 20k viewers

#

He always does

silk linden
#

He's the most popular streamer event when he's inconsistent

digital pond
#

Well part of it is the inconsistancy.

silk linden
#

he could stream unannounced at random hours and pull 18k

digital pond
#

He blew up and became inconsistant so when he pops people rush for it.

silk linden
#

I guess

solid spear
#

Not really

#

Even when he was consistent

balmy wolf
#

Doesnt matter when hes consistent or inconsistent

#

He pulls 20k~ easily

digital pond
#

Yes but at the time he was also one of the few "pros" doing it consistantly.

solid spear
#

If anything the consistency helps

silk linden
#

His stream is still the best

digital pond
#

I mean I hope it works for him.

#

I don't exactly care for his stream most times.

solid spear
#

Man NRG

silk linden
#

Well, did you care for his esports?

solid spear
#

Seagull was the only one left lol

digital pond
#

I did.

#

I watched other players most of the time. Still do generally.

balmy wolf
#

Theres still dummy @solid spear

solid spear
#

I meant from like

#

Mixup

balmy wolf
#

Well Mix^ is a completely different roster

solid spear
#

Dummy is still post indust

balmy wolf
#

well not completely different

solid spear
#

That's what I'm saying

#

The original LG roster is completely gone

balmy wolf
#

but they had Harb, pierow and esper

solid spear
#

Well I guess Harb is back lol true

balmy wolf
#

Okay so this rando team playing in Copenhagen Games

#

called Vikings

silk linden
#

I fucking hate roster changes in esports

balmy wolf
#

Has Snizzle, Fischer and Zaprey

solid spear
#

I don't even think Mendo is a talent downgrade he's not it's just weird especially since he'll be playing in Sweden

silk linden
#

How the hell am I gonna get passionate about teams

#

if you pull the rag from under me every couple weeks

solid spear
#

Well do you watch real sports?

silk linden
#

sports have transfer windows

solid spear
#

I'm just saying that there's always gonna be roster shakeups

silk linden
#

yeah, but twice a year is acceptable

solid spear
#

Hell maybe you see less of it when OWL comes who knows

silk linden
#

not ten times a season

#

yeah, hopefully OWL will regulate that

solid spear
#

I mean a team could make 10 trades in a season

spring lintel
#

Roster shake up not every month dude

gentle shuttle
#

hey weren't Mendo and iddqd on the same roster many moons ago

solid spear
#

Yep

gentle shuttle
#

envy 1.0 rite?

solid spear
#

The good ol days

spring lintel
#

The game has been out for less than a year and most pros have been in more than 3 teams

gentle shuttle
#

im not sure if that's something that is specific to Overwatch

#

or just team-based esports in general, since i dont really follow em

silk linden
#

also, I'm out of the loop, how did the OWL premature announcement kill EU?

balmy wolf
#

It's starting in NA

#

Or was said to start in NA

#

and expand out

#

over time

#

So that made orgs focus on moving the rosters they had to NA

#

Or poaching players from existing EU teams

#

for new rosters in NA

spring lintel
#

Wtf

#

They should have made it even

silk linden
#

I figured the EU->NA exodus was gonna happen anyway, but I see how that didn't help at all

spring lintel
#

Btw what does it mean when ppl get city slots?

balmy wolf
#

Prior to the announcement there were also a small amount tournaments in EU

spring lintel
#

What's so good about having a city slot?

balmy wolf
#

Thats an OWL spot

solid spear
#

Yeah

balmy wolf
#

Okay so apparently this team that has Snizzle, Fischer and Zaprey didnt stomp in this tourney

dusty surge
#

Why did wat7 not put his shield up there?

balmy wolf
gentle shuttle
#

i like how americans pronounce Ana

balmy wolf
#

awna

gentle shuttle
#

sounds hodder

spring lintel
#

Why make it city based πŸ€”

#

Just put slots for sale and thats it

balmy wolf
#

fucking hell

#

Linkz the god

rapid oxide
#

mfw nrg replaced a streamer with another streamer widowlol

#

At first i read harbleu tbh

spring lintel
#

Wtf

#

Oh

#

It's just that the overlay is swaped

balmy wolf
#

Jesus

#

eU destroying on Lijiang

#

pretty accurate

#

fuck me

dusty surge
#

Man... Dig not cleaning it up in OT

pine star
#

IS NRG PLAYING WITHOUT SEAGULL??

balmy wolf
#

Yep

pine star
#

What the actual fuck

balmy wolf
#

Man that isnt even that bad

#

That they didnt cap last

#

They got both points in overtime

#

eUnited's OT play is phenomenal

solid spear
#

yeah

#

its Mendo

dusty surge
#

Man... they took Route66 with authority outside of those OT flubs.

rapid oxide
#

Honestly, i think mendo will fit into nrg

pine star
#

But but

#

Seagull feelsbad

rapid oxide
#

Seagull 100000000% will find a new team

pine star
#

It's been so long since he's played in a tourney

rapid oxide
#

I dont like seagull so idc that much honestly

fierce geode
#

i mean hes really good

pine star
#

What's this blasphemy dansHulk

fierce geode
#

but no team he's been on has done well

#

gotta look at the correlation

pine star
#

You could say that about a lot of really good players

rapid oxide
#

I think he's just over rated because hes a famous streamer, he's not the god of everything

pine star
#

Some are actually the cause

#

Some got unlucky

#

He's not the god of anything tbh lol

#

But he's still really good

rapid oxide
#

Im pretty sure a lot of people are better than him

pine star
#

No shit

rapid oxide
#

Dont you dare say that on reddit

#

Where gale adelade is #1 ana widowlol

#

Codey #1 sombra or kephri #1 widow lmao

pine star
#

He's in this weird middle spot where for casuals he's the god of absolutely everything, and for hardcore esports fan he's just an overrated useless chump

balmy wolf
#

reddit doesnt think that though Thanking

pine star
#

I mean

balmy wolf
#

unless you mean the main sub

pine star
#

Can't he be just a really good professional player?

solid spear
#

I mean

#

Seagull is solid

#

you have to understand a lot of people arent gonna like him because of the hype he comes with and how overrated he can be by his fans

#

so I guess they feel some type of way cuz of that which I get

pine star
#

Problems of being so famous lol

dusty surge
#

Dig in a pretty good spot. This round is Bo5, right?

balmy wolf
#

Yeah

digital pond
#

I don't think Seagull is bad frankly even though I don't really care for him. His fans base definitely overhype him and get people's expectations way to high and when he doesn't meet them he gets shit for it. He's a good player, he's just not the flashy carry like Dafran can be.

#

But he def has his moments.

fierce geode
#

he's a solid projectile player

#

but they kept putting him on zarya on nrg

digital pond
#

He's just the DPS who does his job and usually will always do it.

pine star
#

Yeah, he's consistent

digital pond
#

I feel that was because no one else could be swapped to Zarya though.

balmy wolf
#

He deserved the hype he had back at release though

#

Because he was very good in beta

fierce geode
#

damn eunited vs dignitas going the distance

balmy wolf
#

yee

dusty surge
#

Dig needs to finish the job in OT.

fierce geode
#

my twitch fucked up and im just now tuning in

#

anything cool that i missed?

balmy wolf
#

I stopped watching after the first round

#

gonna watch this

dusty surge
#

2-2 on Nepal in a 2-2 round

#

Last two rounds have been 100-99 in OT

balmy wolf
#

This has been a really good series

dusty surge
#

Hrmm. Dig's gonna drop this if they don't deal with Unfixed's Pharah.

balmy wolf
#

Rubi's trans

#

didnt save unfixed

fierce geode
#

dig has really nice ult management

vestal mortar

ggs that was sooo close! Amazing game!

#

On the edge of my seat the whole time

rapid oxide
#

Nuuuu :( gg anyway

pine star
#

Did Dignitas lose?

wintry matrix
#

The Pit on the grand scale of things is consdered a small or medium tournament?

fierce geode
#

@pine star yeah 2-3

#

yeah its a small tourney

#

i mean the casters are streaming from home...

balmy wolf
#

Almost all online tournies are casted like that

#

like

#

the vast majority

#

theres only a small few who have people not at home

#

Its not really small either

#

15k is a lot for an online tourney

fierce geode
#

winter premiere and carbon series had a legit studio but the games were online

balmy wolf
#

and its gone on for a long time with top teams from EU and NA

#

notice how i said "only a small few have people not at home" @fierce geode

fierce geode
#

i mean i would consider those small then

#

they have some of the top tier teams

balmy wolf
#

Well sure you would

#

But that isnt how they are considering by the majority

fierce geode
#

but the prize pool is small compared to apex

balmy wolf
#

Because they are massive premiere events

pine star
#

FeelsBadMan feelsbad

balmy wolf
#

It makes more sense to call those Massive than to call these small

waxen root

DSPStanky as Lucio zaryalol

balmy wolf

That is a terrible team lol

Indeed the post got deleted already lmao

balmy wolf

  1. Seagull
  2. DSPStanky
  3. Grimreality
    4.Dummy
  4. Calvin
  5. Harbleu

fucking lol

No main tank

rapid oxide

Harb solo tank?DSPStanky stanky?

balmy wolf
#

Bad lucio

rapid oxide
#

Calvin? Kek

balmy wolf
#

Seagull, Grim and Dummy are alright

rapid oxide
#

Yep

balmy wolf
#

Dummy is probably the only pick i'd agree with though

rapid oxide
#

I would take others over seag and grim tbh

#

But seag will be taken anyway because hes famous

balmy wolf
#

I dont think so

#

That was the deal last time

#

And if it was the same as last time then yeah

#

he'd be guaranteed

pine star
#

Seagull for the desk 2017! MmmYea

balmy wolf
#

But the population doesnt vote on the team

#

They vote on the committee

#

And the committee picks the team

rapid oxide
#

Vote seagull for committee lol

pine star
#

Why not both?

rapid oxide
#

We'll see

#

Honestly, seagull is so nice as person he's not able to ign

#

I would trust more slasher

#

Even if he's obnoxious

pine star
#

Slulsher

#

He knows his shit tho, yeah

rapid oxide
#

It's matter of time he will leave ow for quake

balmy wolf
#

Apparently the new quake is pretty shit

rapid oxide
#

Slasher find it good (based on what he wrote on twitter)

waxen root
#

maaaan

#

im so tilted

pine star

@balmy wolf is it?

rapid oxide

People complain about abilities but its possible to disable them

balmy wolf

WAIT WHAT THE SHIT

#

reddit says seagull left nrg

#

i dont understand

silk linden
#

yes

#

left the active roster

#

plans to probably rejoin them once the OW League starts

vestal mortar
#

Yep 😦 πŸ’”

toxic yacht
#

stepped down from the active roster

supple nymph
#

@balmy wolf hold me the world doesnt make sense anymore

toxic yacht
#

until the OWL starts

silk linden
#

until then, he'll dedicate more time to his stream

toxic yacht
#

replaced by mendo for now

silk linden
#

Mendokusai is taking his place

rapid oxide
#

Talking about overrating...

silk linden
#

(Mendo is better than him anyway)

solid spear
#

rejoin?

#

idk

silk linden
#

ok no they're on a similar level

solid spear
#

if Mendo tears it up and they are doing well

#

idk if you just go Seagull is done streaming so bye now

rapid oxide
#

^

solid spear
#

and yeah Mendo is imo a better player anyway

#

not neccessarily a different tier or anything but

supple nymph
#

hasn't he been training with nrg full time for like 5 months?

balmy wolf
#

He's expecting to leave nrg and stream under them

#

and then come back when the OWL starts up

fierce geode
#

mendo left c9 for personal reasons and is now joining nrg??

solid spear
#

Id say theres a good chance, hell maybe its even a probability that Seagull will be playing on an entirely different team when its all said and done

balmy wolf
#

After mendo being on the team

silk linden
#

It's complicated, Seagull by then will still be a famous figure and a good player

balmy wolf
#

for months

#

like

#

cmon dude

toxic yacht
#

he has

fierce geode
#

i heard mendo was stepping down off the active roster

balmy wolf
#

We should all expect seagull to be a full time streamer now

silk linden
#

and it's not like Mendo won't be receiving offers

#

Idk, made so much sense for NRG to employ seagull

solid spear
#

I mean the point is

#

if Mendo is on this team for an extended period of time

#

and performing well which I expect him to

rapid oxide
#

I think esport will suffer a bit from seagull being away

solid spear
#

Seagull isnt gonna just walk back in there

balmy wolf
#

Im intrigued to see Iddqd and Mendo play again though

rapid oxide
#

Pretty sure mendo will stay in nrg

pine star
#

IDDQD and Mendo will play together... pixelThinking didn't think about that

supple nymph
#

man

#

it may be for stupid reasons but i think i was looking forward to seeing nrg with seagull more than any other team

#

😦

fierce geode
#

can someone link where it says mendo is moving to nrg?

pine star
pine star
supple nymph
#

im surprised there isn't a contract or something that says he has to stay on so long or play in so many matches

#

nrg is getting fucked

balmy wolf
#

pls

#

That one doesnt even say mendo is filling for him @pine star

#

smh

solid spear
#

I mean

#

it sucks because they pracitced with Seagull not Mendo

#

but once they play with Mendo

#

theyre really not getting "fucked"

#

damn when did Graceful hit number 1 on the ladder

seagull was the captain though...
