EZ PZ for Rogue
If he pops off the same he could singlehandedly carry it
It depends whether they put Miso on Zarya or not
We know who gets out
c9 and IMT light
C9 vs IMT 

Freelo for c9
I'm excited to see Xepher and Selly

I hope they actually play well together
Pls no
fucking best
nrg splyce nv and who is the last one?
Theres 2 groups left
they just said c
omg this YGGP logo tilts me so fucking hard
It's hilarious.
MS paint logo ๐๐ป
NRG in envys group lul
LOLOLOL they just overlayed it
LOL
Oh yeah they got Juv3's replacement
Liquid, Splyce and NV in NRG group lol
Thats probably the most interesting
I actually think Splyce is a dark horse in that group.
Splyce can make it out
Precision
Ya
Oh
Evil's coach
Splyce been playing well. Plus I love D0gman so I want Splyce to do good so he makes it into the team.
A is a snorefest, B is less of a snorefest but still a snorefest, C is pretty close and D is ๐๐ป
I'm just glad Selfless/Rogue/C9/nV aren't in the same groups.
lul
well theyre the top 4 teams imo
putting any in the same group would be some Apex group balancing
Pretty much lmao.
I actually think Splyce is contender for 2nd.
Depending on how nV and Liquid face each other.
I actually think this group can go either way 
Yeah the thing is we haven't seen nV in a while and no one has talked about them recently.
So they could be rocking or not. Especially since roles are being shuffled.
I honestly think NRG can straight up get last
Did anyone get group C's schedule?
they skipped it
Mendo isn't playing in the rumble
7:00 PM Selfless vs LGE
8:00 PM Selfless vs Envision
8:00 PM LGE vs YGGP
9:00 PM Selfless vs YGGP
9:00 PM LGE vs Envision
10:00 PM Envision vs YGGP
Schedule for Group C
Apparently Seagull subbed in for practice today for NRG.
And everyone is being excited about it.


Thanks @balmy wolf
Not even close lol
lmao
rip
So Liquid thought GFE would be ez
And GFE was tryharding their asses off
Cool so Liquid was just stupid
and they didnt lose to GFE when tryharding

Scrim results 
Liquid vs NRG and Liquid vs Envy
NV vs XQC at 7
LMFAO
I officially make SoOn my dad.
why isn't mendo gonna be in the rumble
Selfless/LGE + Selfless/Envision are being streamed for group C correct?
Rogue pours salt on allies and enemies equally
As it should be
Jfc everyone and their mother are tweeting the shit outta this new RNG guy
Who tf is he?
Not sure I think he's known in the pro community mainly.
Cause there's 0 info of him anywhere else.
Liquidpedia doesn't even seem to have him either.
So probs new blood.
Who?
Probably the first time he plays pro then. He's been retweeting pros all the way to League for a while.
Heโs Not a One-trick; He Plays Multiple Heroes.
Weโre excited to welcome a rising star in the North American Overwatch scene to the 5 Hour Energyยฎ Detroit Renegades. He has shown immense promise as one of the youngest professional Overwatch players in the world at 16. Today, we welcome Zachary โZachaREEEโ Lombardo to the family.
With his overwhelmingly positive attitude, passion, drive, and motivation to improve, Zachary has already made waves within the team. Bringing great diversity Since his signing, the team has already shown great improvement. As an organization, weโre looking forward to a bright future with this addition to the team.
โZacharyโs ability to focus on a task and finish it to absolute completion is incredible.โ Said Cameron McAlees, the Manager of the team. When asked what makes Zachary such an important addition to the team, Cameron has this to say, โHe is the perfect example of what happens when someone is not only driven, but is an uplifting and positive influence to those around him. Heโs the type of player to keep the team together in the face of defeat. Thatโs irreplaceable.โ
You can follow Zachary on Twitter and Twitch to keep up-to-date with him, as well as know when he goes live!
Twitter: www.twitter.com/ZackLombardo_Twitch: www.twitch.com/Zachary_OW
Ooooh Zacharee
He's been top 500 consistently it seems
Yeah seems like it
Even top 200 and 100
And he plays a lot with j3sus
He's also a weeb
So he definitely is known.
Of course top 200 and 100 doesnt mean much
But it means something
And going by what's said in the article he seems like a really great addition to the team
His ana is actually pretty good
Dude plays so fast pace lordy.
And his Genji looks pretty good. his blades more than anything.
Mendo confirmed he's Zack's dad https://gyazo.com/daa4a1d2ef4abee481ee5ee14bea6469

Finally NRG is gonna assert their dominance over NV
Cant wait for tiamou vs iddqd
๐
^
๐ a man can only dream
The new guy for RNG has been with them since carbon, under the guise of Kyle, his smurf account
All 3 teams are very good
Nrg will get raped in their tourney ๐ญ๐ญ
their tourney
First time hearing about envision
Fahzix and Tseini ๐๐ป
I mean their group *
They gave rogue the easiest group
R I G G E D
I 100% guarantee that rogue will win this tourney because they are in group A
Btw do the top 2 qualify or just the top 1 from each group?
top 2
So theres a chance for NRG ๐
Wait why does NV play 3 matches while nrg only plays 2?
Nvm I feel stupid
kek
So guys does anyone feel that rogue arent fun to watch?
Like they always do the same exact thing but no one can do anything about it ๐ค

I like watching them because of how good they are
Watching them totally outplay the other team mechanically is very satisfying for me
It's always fun to see them react properly even when teams are using what should be counters.
But their target focus, and coordination is good enough to surmount it.
And every single one of their DPS can randomly pop off.
And even the tank and HEaler.
Also, SoOn one-clipping supports 
Agreed.
Like I like watching a few teams.
Rogue just finesses people.
IT's weird to explain.
hm
Overwatch Rumble
Group Stage
Group A: Group B:


Group C: Group D:


ah, there we are
Also pin please
Wait
@spring lintel they are boring to watch most of the time
same comp every game
same stomp
the rogue vs selfless game was good
hm
i should work in a whitelist thing..
It would help yeah
Yeah i think they are boring
I had to edit that last message a lot to make it work
it kinda ruins tournaments too
like the whole upper bracket is just rogue stomps
and thats all they stream
so its boring
^
people want to see teams like nrg or MA
nope get fucked that's in the lower bracket
then because it's double elimination rogue is up 1 in the finals
so no chance they can be beat
Overwatch Rumble
Group Stage Schedule
Saturday April 22nd: All series are Bo3
dive ๐ด
Thank you
I naturally assume the majority use dark theme @pine star
And the black logo was hard to see on dark theme
so i changed it to white
any idea where i can see the c9 vods?
I don't
Of which match?

any c9 match
wanna see how they're doing with the new 1/3 korean roster lol
oh right
No VODs of that yet
They havent played yet
is that for tomorrow?
oh saturday i see that now
probably not gonna catch that live
where are people finding the vods?
Channel in the description
All the streamed matches will be on there after the Group stage is over
You mean Rumble?
Yes
Probably not ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Holy shit I am watching very old scrims and their comps are so interesting
Syms zens
I wish they would allow hero stacking again
Hero stacking 
You can counter it with double hog
Not with this roster
With the new roster?
Nope
Everyone except Envy, C9, Splyce and Envision have played vs Rogue's French Roster
Out of the Rumble teams that is
theres litearlly no point comparing them to back in Apex S1
rogue performance: https://puu.sh/vr3Hu/e1633d7e82.png
jan must be when they changed roster
They were on completely different roles and had 2 different people
Comps now are so limited
>now
Yeh double winston was so easily countered by double roadhog that everyone stopped playing double winston.
Oh wait.
There used to be other cheesy strats
Like no LoS discord/harmony and the damage from discord.
Double Genji + Double Zen with no los discords = 
Hero Stacking was C A N C E R
It was fun at least
I'm glad its gone forever
We only have death ball and dive rn
2cp is shit after all
Basically anywhere you stall now
Which is already pretty aids if you watch some numbani games.
Why not make 2cp similar to koth?
It happened with 6 dvas
Yeh
in hero stacking
Stuff was funny when the game started.
With the only difference is that defenders get spawned early
Wont that fix everything?
What
What
Like makes spawns equal to both teams
You mean have them both come out of the gates at the same time?
No
He wants the CPs to be at equal distance of each team's spawn.
Let the defenders get out early
Aka defending point B anubis you spawn as far as the attacking team.
As pleure said
But defenders spawn faster
Wouldnt that just be the same thing
It might force a lot more stall heroes by default imo.
If the defenders spawn faster then the extra distance is negated entirely
and its the same as before
That would make it similar to koth
It would fix stalls stuff
It wouldn't though
You cant just switch and get back to the point fast
People stall in Koth too
But not like in 2cp
It might not be as aids but going from 90% aids to 95% isn't gonna make it feel different to people.
If the defenders, by default, spawn faster than the attackers the extra distance to get to the point doesnt matter
Then it wouldn't be 2CP
Aka 2 hills
And they would have one less gamemode to pride themselves in having
2cp is trash
Id rather they just remove 2CP from the game entirely
Doesn't really matter everyone knows it's trash.
But they won't change it because they made it and publicize it.
They can make it koth and just get things better
They dont have any ideas dude
We wont see any new modes for at least a year
After OwL
I'm sure they have new modes they wanna put out.
But considering how much shit they are getting for 2CP they probably are shy to throw them out to us.
Cant wait to see a new mode
I'd honestly rather more maps than more modes
Agreed.
Because I cant see Blizzard coming up with a new mode that can be as good as the ones we have now
Minus 2cp obviously
Order of want I rather have Maps > Heroes > Skins
The new mode comes with a new map
I will take the map without a mode.
Well the Maps, Heroes and Skins are all worked on by different departments
So they could work on them at the same time
Yeah just mean everything else is eh for me
Say we have like 4-6 events a year
But I would love having maps more than anything
Those all come with skins, voicelines etc
Those + some normal non event skins, like Balderich, inbetween
Would be perfect imo
Agreed.
Also Blizzard have said they are aiming to release 3 heroes per year
That's reasonable.
So maybe like one in Q1, one in Q2-3 and then one in Q4
Makes sense imo.
the 2nd one being released later/earlier depending on if they want to do other things like a bigger event or something like that
I rather they take their time with heroes than pump them out
or another ARG
ARG Ew
They've said they wont repeat what they did with Sombra so I'm not against another ARG
If they hold to that yeah.
But I wouldn't say I really want one
I'd rather just a new hero and new lore
Totally not Bias I swaer.
I would like to see Blackwatch first mission tbh
๐
๐
๐
๐
if the new zarya skins are like the ones from HotS then I'm hype
also I'd way rather maps over new heroes
Yeah same here
But I'm a lore nerd so I'd like them to focus on the lore a bit more
make it less
shit
But gameplay wise, maps are top priority imo
All heroes released so far have been a letdown bar ana
1/3 isnt really good
I hope they focus on bugs and making the game smoother ๐
Please fix my boi genji
I am the kinda guy that hates broken stuff
Cause I live on the edge with genji ๐
genji has 9 bugs?
i just watched a seagull vid and he got fanned the hammer to death WHILE deflect was up
Kazper got hit by the ghost swings yesterday.
3 in a row on a Soldier took all of his blade lmao.
Lol
"Blizzard put more map" "Pros complain because there are a lot of maps to learn" 
i want heroes over maps
we need an alternative of lucio
so we need a new hero in lieu of lucio? 
Idc about another Lucio
ultimately what will happen is one will be better and that one just gets picked 100% of the time
or you just run both of them
I want maps
we need more snipers

No schedule for Rumble group stage on Gosu matchticker or did I miss something
Polo posted a schedule thingy earlier. The matches with Twitch icons are the ones that'll be streamed.
Is it in 12hours?
36 hours
Guys how will OWL work?
Is it in game thing?
Or will it just be organized out side the game
I always pictured it being organised outside of the game but who knows.
Up til now it's still only Carbon who's thoughtful enough to arrange a schedule that uses users' local time zone on their site
Everyone including players currently know as much as you do BAAAM.
All we know for sure is it'll be city based and they want to organize it like a real sport league.
And orgs will have to buy in city spots.
Seagull isn't good anymore.
?
i agree
Uh-huh
@supple nymph i like all anime
Boi
all anime ๐
the h genre is better
Remind me to not get anime recommendations from Vace 

@tough wind judge my animelist please, I need your sacred blessings
https://myanimelist.net/animelist/TheSojum
My personal anime list is 1% of yours tbh
@toxic yacht i approve
Aww yeah Sojum, you did it!


i dont see golden time on here
anime is not esports
and anime is unrelated to that
u gave guilty crown a 4???
i mean idont blame u tbh
but its one of my guilty pleasures
@mint sky what do u want to talk about then esports related
also thanks tara!
still not sure on who our 6th is tho

uhh, yeah, GC looked and sounded amazing, I just don't wanna think about it
golden town I dropped because of... reasons
I'll probably pick it up again
plastic memories was actually a 7, don't remember why I dropped it down...
Sure it'll be grand, I just like supporting players I like.


why are u sad
Mhmm
probably when b4 i sleep today
Scrims?
Niceuu
Lol
Cya ๐
Ajax in the flesh
I really hope we get to see Rogue vs new C9, I think that'd be an amazing series.
INTERNETHULK reveals the real reason why Talespin and Taimou couldn't get along anymore
https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/66mxgy/internethulk_reveals_the_real_reason_why_talespin/
TSM Fusion Girls 
Clearly I need to watch more of blank, I should switch on the pacific championship.
๐ฆ๐บ
Can't wait to see my boy Haffi joining a mid tier team 
Fnatic Talespin confirmed tho
It's not confirmed tho haha
tale seems like a better version of haffi, although he was decent in the tank meta because d.va
But most likely
oh yeah, highly likely
"im joining a team that played in apex"
And fnatic is the only onr lacking of dps now
also, apparently they've been scrimming with Realzx on lushio
Lots of free agent btw
People on reddit are speculating Grego
iirc grego said that he'd rather dps these days, but don't quote me on that
I read it
Was that in his AMA? I think I read that somewhere too.
iirc grego used to flex to widow back in the day
he's pretty good mechanically, but ended up on lucio
There is no team more deserving than Blank Esports to go to Korea
They're in China, that's close enough /s
Oh yeah I remember Grego playing widow
Oh shit Blank are actually using 76 on Hanamura now
tfw I'm not familiar with anyone's names
also, that dragonblade was hilarious
The spirit of Haffi lives on
Blank is such a meme on 2cp
another push, another hilarious NA blade
๐ข
but yee, blank is probably gonna win
they just seem to succ on 2cp, and I trust you
They'll win on payload
Blank on 2cp and Blank everywhere else is like night and fuckin day tbh
Ieatuup
So fucking bad at 2cp
mfw my first blank game is hanamura
rip
lol
Vonethil leaving Fnatic 
that sword was slow af and not clean enough with too short dashes, 0/10
Any team with caucasian players can't into 2cp
I just wanna see them on another map
see wtf they're all about since I keep hearing of them
They should do well on payload
left guy's beard is fabulous
"mustard"

Lol
wtf
Blank is throwing

@toxic yacht Well Blank threw on 1st point of Gib but they're actually doing stuff in hangar
They used all 6 ults 
๐ค
These blades
I saw Genji and assumed Aetar
But Aetar only gets one kill with his blades
ส อกยทแดฅ อกยท ส Youโve been visited by Trill Slasher of goodults. Clap your paws and copy paste this message 5 times without getting banned by mods and good slashes will be with you for the next year ส อกยทแดฅ อกยท ส
So Blank threw on 1st point then actually started playing on 2nd and held for like five and a half minutes
@toxic yacht

Now Blank is being held on first
Guys wtf Flash Wolves and ahq are better than HKA
Did he just press Q and stand in server room?
omg that yggp thread whyyyy
lul accidently killing the baby dva
I start watching and then Blank start losing 
Oce>Na 
East Wind beat selfless ๐คท
You guys remember what i posted yd about cs_summit showing widow ass?
Summit's really been expanding their reach. Looking at how LD's been casting Overwatch (GJ showing Widowmaker's ass BTW) it'll probably be one of the next games they'll host. ๐ค
Summit did ow already i think
For people unaware of what summit is, its the 3rd best dota host for tournament
oh
Awwwwww
@rapid oxide what the fuck
Oh shit, so did Hafficool
OVERWATCH UPDATE: @Vonethil and @Hafficool drop to the bench.
READ ยป https://t.co/oaX2KykXeJ
Literally no one is surprised about Haffi
Nope lol
Heh
Im surprised about Vonethil tbh
Fnatic's Talespin? 
It's because I decided to watch ๐ข
Well... He's playing with coolmatt so...
How dare you Tara
I'm bad luck
Their ult management and usage has been miles behind what they usually display
TSM Talespin 

They gonna pull a Tajum on my boy Esca eventually 
They probably just have different starting rosters
LH oh yeahhh 
Hope thry won't bench esca ๐
I bet their 2nd starting roster has Munchkin replacing him on DPS
Both are dps iirc
Yeah, which is I think that
Talking about the subs, both subs are dps
Claris is Flex
I wonder how exactly do SEA teams measure against the rest of the world 
idk, but Blank needs to pick themselves up and stop being complacent if they want to keep beating Flash Wolves, ahq and HKA
They have been 3-0ing practically everyone, right?
They 3-1'd ahq and Flash Wolves
And they're both better than HKA
We've never seen these chinese teams play any NA or EU teams
Pacific Championship*
So we still can't gauge how good they are
Like, that series between Blank and HKA was more Blank playing poorly than HKA playing better
I'm really curious of how Blank will do against other regions
If they remain complacent and let the other teams get up to their level they don't deserve to play teams from other regions
But I have faith in the fact that this was just a bad day
Like Vace said, East Wind did 2-0 Selfless
Well I never watched them for more than like 2 minutes
So idk how this compares to their usual performance
This is the first time I've seen Blank make just flat out terrible decisions
On KR they ran quad tank again after it had already not worked previously, and during HKA's attack they never peeled their supports and let HKA's Tracer run wild in the backline with their Winston
tfw I also took a screenshot of something that twitch user said earlier haha
Oh dang Blank, must have had an off day in comms/synergy or something
have blank actually played teams outside of oceania/sea?
Hey everyone, first of all thank you so much for helping us reach 100k! This montage means a lot to me because it reminds me of the first Genji Highlights vi...

shadder 
oh, still rough
The editing on those highlights is to die for, jeeze.
Yep
dante must feel so bad
Meme lord Art1er at it again
2nd column 2nd row is Winghaven p sure
Isn't bottom right Juv3nile?

uhhh, from top left to bottom right:
Haffi, Vonethil, Zave, Mendo,
TwoEasy, WingHaven, Ryb, Juv3nile (probably)
Looks like Juv3nile to me
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Because being in a bench implies you can actually get a team
Sulli pls
But juv3nile is a free agent so he's not even on a team
2Easy Wing and Juv3nile are all free agents
the rest are on the bench for their teams
I would love to see Rogue get 3 loses and the whole reddit and inven will ๐ค
(no offense thou)
kek
i will 
Apparently LH's new player is lol

Cant wait for the final NRGvRogue
I think Apex was going to invite NRG but after the memes and their AMM performance they said fuck it lets get NV again.
no, they flat out didn't invite them
some fucknugget then said that they did because speculation or whatever
and then people started memeing about them
APEX invite doesn't match up with Seagull's reasons for stepping down
at all
they picked up zacharee i thought
Ye
Today we bid farewell to @NeshhOW, a player who truly inspired our team and kept the enemies on their toes. Good luck in your future! ๐ฝ

nice ping
also, nice fucking roster there
lol
Bench Boys could barely have a stable roster
@AleexMcfly @LaserKittenz @NeshhOW we're internally restructuring ahead of our trip to korea.
LK is like NA
they have a lot of people to take from tbh
It keeps adding up to the free agents pool 
I think you need 6 people to play Overwatch @AlicusOfficial ๐ค https://t.co/gqzMYZcbWY
lol
:OOOOOOOOO
i cant tell if Baaam is trolling or now with the NRG stuffs
FUCK YEAH
lol finally Monsieur Skipjaquรฉ
Anyways who will be their 6th player?
Probably seagull
He cant be that much of a dick can he?
He is the only possible dps for their team
Unless they are gonna pick up some random ass pro that they have never scrimmed with before
Baaam you're worrying me
๐ค
SKIPJAAAAAAAACK
Yeah @gentle shuttle
If you checked his twitter
or Rogue's team page
He's been inactive under them
This is just a loan though
@balmy wolf buy - buy - buy - buy
there's no way he's not gonna perform well

Isnt it weird?
they're too busy playing actual matches and scrims
I guess
^
ETO is teo's smurf
Look to see buy in prices to OWL to drop a noticeable amount. A big thing for high prices was lack of similar quality product. Now there's 1
Dude why is no one participating in these tourneys?
Kinda excited to see Talespin play

@rapid oxide it is portuguese... it is a portuguese league ๐
who is legit best tracer
It's hard to know for sure without stats but I'd say SoOn
or daimond to masters
Tldr: skipjack, linepro and sypeh
Niceee



Luljum
I'm happy to announce I'm joining @LaserKittenz's Overwatch Team! I'm here to give my best! #๐ผWIN
There you go

my man Selly didnt take long to get top 5 on the NA leaderboards lol
Lol

Didn't see that lmfao
Please delete your message so mine is the only one @rapid oxide
Don't make me end all of my messages with "sorry for my english btw"
No matter what, i will be amongst the winners of the OWL! https://t.co/Y9byQ3EM4j

Also Selly has better soldier crit stats than dafran on master overwatch. oh lawd
Im honestly not sure who a better Flex is between Sypeh and Nesh
They seem very close
Xepher also has a pretty nutty Soldier.
He was playing with Spree last night and Spree was having a hot high energy game and they were basically 50/50 on kill feed most of the game.
He died once the whole first King's Row attack.
huh, linepro?

๐๐ค
ok
๐๐ค




There's so official statement as of yet if I'm not mistaken
Hey! I'm still contracted by Tempo Storm but I'm allowed to pursue tryouts for other teams. Please retweet. โค๏ธ
Dang
So many benched players
and kicked players
idk
Krawnic was basically a free agent anyway tho
It was only him and Exi left on Method
They did play with TiG, Cosi, Syckness and Kryw for the NA Pit quals though
What
He is joining Fnatic
(Maybe)
EXCLUSIVE!!
Damn son
