[balmy wolf]

But they arent in the same group

[spring lintel]

So he should play with them until they V c9?

[balmy wolf]

Acting like that will even happen lul

If it does he will either just play or they will get Seagull to sub in

Its not like teams havent had multiple players on their roster in a tournament before

[supple nymph]

he's not subbing this weekend though is he?

i dont understand isnt he still in nrg

[balmy wolf]

No, he isnt

And atm we don't know who is subbing in

Even though it should be seagull because he is a sub

[supple nymph]

i think his page has the branding

last time i looked

[balmy wolf]

but not even Ajax knew

Mendo is still on C9

Just inactive

Still under contract

They just allowed him to play on other teams to not lose his touch

[supple nymph]

and seagull is the same for nrg

just inactive

[balmy wolf]

He is a sub though

As in will play when they do not have a 6th player

But going by Ajax, it seems they're looking for another Flex to trial

Methinks they might get Nesh

[digital pond]

From my understanding Mendo said on stream he's getting a tooth p[ulled out or something

[balmy wolf]

Oh I thought that already happened

He was getting his wisdom teeth out

I heard about that weeks ago though

[digital pond]

Oh someone said it was this week-end, but the info could be wrong.

[gentle shuttle]

anything interesting happen in the past 5 hours or so

got caught in the Hollow Knight vortex

[clever wagon]

Competitive mode a mess, competitive scene a mess

What's left for OW

[supple nymph]

arcade

[gentle shuttle]

i dont have a non-nsfw answer to that

🐷

[clever wagon]

Lol

[digital pond]

If you guys haven't checked out grego is cosplaying Tracer as he streams.

[clever wagon]

SHIT

Is he using modmic?

[digital pond]

https://gyazo.com/6b59ac6da6843cbf0f4f3b87bf3840a0

I don't think so

[clever wagon]

Isn't he though?

He's not using the Sennheiser's own mic

[forest raven]

Who hosted grego

[clever wagon]

No idea

[digital pond]

He was playing with Gale so I assume he did.

[forest raven]

Didn't he have like 8k viewers a while ago

[spring lintel]

@balmy wolf why is NRG looking for a flex and not a 2nd dps?

They need a phara/genji player

[solid spear]

nowadays you want one of your dps to be able to flex

most teams want 2 flex honestly

[spring lintel]

Yeah flexing on off tanks is a plus

But genji and phara are crucial as fuck

Like sometimes cant handle the pharamercy

[digital pond]

Well Zackareee and aKm are considered flex players

But they both main Genji

[spring lintel]

What's considered a flex?

[digital pond]

Nico not aKm

Actually

[spring lintel]

His genji is phenomenal

[digital pond]

Flex just means they can play other heroes and swap around and aren't just purely specialized.

Like SoOn is specialized in Tracer so he's straight dps.

aKm is straight Hitscans

[spring lintel]

They need a flex like nico

[digital pond]

But Nico can play a few other heroes

Who's good at genji but dables

[spring lintel]

And I dont think there's anyone like nico

[balmy wolf]

Probably Seagull @forest raven

He was queuing with him

[digital pond]

I think someone said earlier Iddq said he was turning stream off to g scrim and seagull turned his right after.

[forest raven]

Ah

[digital pond]

So maybe they're still looking for someone.

Seagull dropped later and it was Grego/Gale/Kephrii

Then it went back to Grego/Gale

[balmy wolf]

Sypeh is just like NiCO

[digital pond]

^

Sypeh is such a good player.

[balmy wolf]

Except plays a better Zarya and a worse Genji

[digital pond]

I'm actually surprised RNG didn't take him.

[balmy wolf]

Like just picture a bar graph or something

[forest raven]

The only real flex players are Surefour, Tviq and Flow3r tbh

[balmy wolf]

NiCO's genji bar is really high whereas his zarya one is low

for Sypeh both bars are in the middle

[digital pond]

Sypeh is more even imo.

Yeh

[balmy wolf]

Nesh is also the same

Just replaced Genji with Pharah

If I were NRG

I'd pick up Sypeh and get him to learn Pharah

Instead of picking up Nesh and getting Nesh to learn Genji

Because Genji is harder than Pharah

[digital pond]

Yeah I think that would definitely be a good idea for them.

I feel like nesh will probably go to another EU team.

Might even go to fnatic.

Well actually no.

If Tales goes there he might not.

Overlapping heroes.

[balmy wolf]

Whats up with everything thinking Tale is going to Fnatic

[forest raven]

His twitter

[balmy wolf]

Oooo

Fnatic trialing Realzx

coL trialing Kryw

Oooo

[digital pond]

Sounds like fun rosters 😄

[balmy wolf]

If they keep kryw on for the Rumble Group Stage

They might be a force to be reckoned with

[gentle shuttle]

dopeeee

[balmy wolf]

man 3 bodyblock clips lol

I dont really think him posting Coolmatt's clips means anything

Especially since they're trialing Realzx and a guy called Anomander in all 3 clips

So unless Tale's alt is called Anomander than its best to just ignore it imo

[supple nymph]

seems kinda odd that nrg would pick up someone so far away he cant even play with the team unless they relocate him

is there really such a lack of talent in NA?

[forest raven]

Does Silkthread play Pharah and Genji?

[balmy wolf]

I've never seen him play Pharah

Just Genji and Hitscan

But he could

Not really a lack of talent, just that all the talent is taken @supple nymph

[digital pond]

I mean it was the same for Shadder2k, iddq,numlocked and some others.

[supple nymph]

ic

[digital pond]

They played from overseas for a bit and got relocated later.

Not sure about shadder.

[forest raven]

Shadder's still in Romania

[balmy wolf]

There's a few good NA players that are free agents

Tale is trialing, or at least thats been the rumour for months

Enigma is focused on over.gg

No idea what happened to Debett and Reaver

And thats it

The rest are on teams

I guess minstrel but i dont think he's even playing ow anymore

[forest raven]

Bird's not LFT is he, just a strimmer

There's Grego as well

Juv3nile

[balmy wolf]

Yeah bird's just a streamer

[forest raven]

Pookz

[balmy wolf]

Oh actually dont mind me

there's tonnes of talent available in NA

lul

[forest raven]

I can't tell if that's sarcasm

[digital pond]

Reaver streams sometimes. Didn't know Enigma ran over.gg though.

[balmy wolf]

It is not @forest raven

[supple nymph]

@balmy wolf is anyone on your team streaming the tournament

[balmy wolf]

You're not allowed to

[supple nymph]

somewhere i heard the rule from blizzard is 5 min delay

[balmy wolf]

you cant stream it, its in the tournament rules

[supple nymph]

o

[balmy wolf]

you can record it for your own use though

or something along those lines

[supple nymph]

one of you should do that

[balmy wolf]

not bothered

[supple nymph]

it'll be like getting footage of bigfoot having a vod with exxu in it

[spring lintel]

It's reddit tournament right?

Why do they have these silly rules

[balmy wolf]

How are they silly

[supple nymph]

cause people wanna see it even if it is just the qualifiers

[balmy wolf]

They might end up streaming it considering its not 64 teams

[supple nymph]

'we cant get casters' is an over-used excuse

does anyone even listen to the casting when they watch tournaments

i just wanna see the play

[balmy wolf]

A lot of people do

[pine star]

Most people I'd say

[balmy wolf]

Yeah probably the majority

[supple nymph]

ok fine but i would rather see the match uncasted than not at all

[balmy wolf]

Well I can understand not wanting to stream a group of 64

But theres only 9 teams signed up atm

with 5 incompletes

so I could see them streaming the qualifiers

Especially with it being postponed

[pine star]

Oh shit

Harry vs Dafran again rn

[clever wagon]

I do listen to the cast

[supple nymph]

i x-posted the tournament link on competitiveoverwatch but it actually got downvoted 😦

not sure why

[clever wagon]

Why would I miss ZP's hot puns

Fuck

Rumble still 16 hrs

[supple nymph]

nrg vs envyus

r u rdy

[clever wagon]

That's Rumble 1st match isn't it https://puu.sh/vsa4A/04c6c95ebe.png

[balmy wolf]

Rogue vs CLG is the first match

and then Rogue vs Rise

[supple nymph]

funny dafran one of the top players in overwatch NA esports can stream and barely gets 1000 viewers

seagull comes on and within 10 mins has 15k

[balmy wolf]

Well Seagull is just a good streamer

Just because you're a good player doesn't mean you're a good streamer

[supple nymph]

social skills matter??

[balmy wolf]

The schedule for Rumble is pinned btw @clever wagon

[clever wagon]

'member EST times

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[balmy wolf]

I was mentioning it so you know what matches are being streamed

[pine star]

lol Harry got cucked

"Sometimes you win, sometimes you get boosted Mercy one-tricks on your team"

[balmy wolf]

lul

[pine star]

Does Selly have a rank 7 smurf?

Some people in chat say some MsPeregrine (who is rank 7) is Selly, but I'm not sure if it's true

[solid spear]

It's me

[clever wagon]

It's-a-me

[balmy wolf]

I doubt he could get two accounts into the top 10 so quickly

[clever wagon]

@pine star "you get boosted Mercy otps" or "you boosted Mercy otps"

[pine star]

Only thing I can say is

[clever wagon]

That's a weird sentence if I've ever seen one as a non-English native

[pine star]

This MsPeregrine is a beast on soldier

[solid spear]

Yeah only 2 players have been able to get multiple top 10 accounts this season and they've both played hundreds and hundreds of games

So it'd be unlikely

[pine star]

Shit

He's killing everyone lol

[balmy wolf]

I only know one person this season with 2 accs in the top 10 NA

[solid spear]

Well rn 1

Cuz one dropped to teens but it was top 10 earlier this week

[balmy wolf]

Who's the 2nd

[solid spear]

Dafran and spree

[balmy wolf]

Logix has 2 accs in the top 20 EU

[pine star]

Logix is from Riders, right?

[balmy wolf]

Yeah

[solid spear]

Correct

[balmy wolf]

Dafran has an acc at #2 and one at #9 NA

[solid spear]

Spree had like 5 and 9 a couple days ago

[balmy wolf]

And spree has two in the top 20

[solid spear]

But one dropped

[pine star]

What rank is Selly's main?

[balmy wolf]

Selly also has two in the top 10

[solid spear]

4

[balmy wolf]

Selly and Ylles

[solid spear]

4 and 5 I think

[balmy wolf]

Only noticed it now lol

Yeah 4 and 5

[solid spear]

So 3 players actually

[balmy wolf]

59 games played on main 62 on alt

Top 3 heroes McCree 76 and Tracer

[pine star]

tfw top 10 is like 3 or 4 people lul

[balmy wolf]

Well 4/10 of the accounts

are 2 people

So its actually top 8 atm

[solid spear]

Where's Sprees second one

I'm not looking rn

[balmy wolf]

They're at 17 and 14 rn i think

[clever wagon]

Eerps and Spree

[solid spear]

Oh they both dropped

Rip

Tmw your main is

[balmy wolf]

Oh wow just realised that one of the guys from Blank is in the Top 100

[pine star]

Who?

[balmy wolf]

Trill

[solid spear]

Wait Dafrans alt is 5 now

._.

[balmy wolf]

lul

[pine star]

Onigod so good

[spring lintel]

When will the rumblllle start?

Is it still like 16 hours away or somethin?

[balmy wolf]

Schedule in pins

[digital pond]

14 hours.

Ty Gosugamer app

[spring lintel]

They have an app?

[forest raven]

The C9 games begin at 7am for me

I'm not gonna be able to catch those

[wintry matrix]

Was there any western event with production quality comparable to Apex (aside from the world cup)?

I'm still amazed how little things like the singing contest, and the little video that plays after that with the players facing each other make so much difference

[solid spear]

OW Open and ESL were amazing imo

[wintry matrix]

the production?

[clever wagon]

That's just typical Korean/Japanese reality show thingy tbh @wintry matrix

Not saying they're bad

[wintry matrix]

Oh

It does seems like something most westerners would find boring

[clever wagon]

Prevalent esp around these East Asia idol culture

[pine star]

Probably not before some League stuff comes out

[rapid oxide]

😐

:c

G2 and Echo Fox are wating too

[pine star]

And Team Solul Mid

[rapid oxide]

problem is... more you wait... less chance to get a good team

[balmy wolf]

TSM is still making their roster

They still only have 2 confirmed though

[pine star]

Yup

They're taking their sweet time

[umbral palm]

Why hurry tho?

league not here

[pine star]

Never said so

[umbral palm]

few major tournaments

[balmy wolf]

They could have picked up all of Kungarna but they didn't want ex-cheaters on their team

So they only got half

then booted ajax

because of a tweet he made months ago and deleted soon after he posted it

[pine star]

Those two signed better delete their porn history if they don't want to get booted too 👀

[balmy wolf]

They could have had coL too

But they signed them then realised the TJOs are ex-cheaters

and let them go a week later

[pine star]

Code7?

Or were they already coL?

[balmy wolf]

Just saying coL because thats what people know them as

But yes, the Code7 roster

[pine star]

They are too strict for their own good, me thinks

[balmy wolf]

Yep

[umbral palm]

🔥

[spring lintel]

Rest in peace NRG

Was a shit run

😔

I cant imagine bestwp carrying like mendo

[balmy wolf]

who

[spring lintel]

The new 6th for nrg?

[balmy wolf]

I'm not even sure that he's confirmed to be subbing

And his name is Ultimawep

[toxic yacht]

Well, Ultimawep is fucking amazing

[balmy wolf]

Ultimawep is a very good player and is in NA so

[toxic yacht]

and doesn't play at 100+ ping

[balmy wolf]

I feel like they will do better with him

Than with mendo

[toxic yacht]

like, if you need a good example, just check out the eichenwalde game

of c9 vs method

from ow open day 1

[solid spear]

wait

godwep?

[toxic yacht]

I still remember back at the ow open

when you, zoro and maybe polo didn't want me to shower

or eat

[solid spear]

lul

[toxic yacht]

because you wanted me to sit with you for 8 goddamn hours

lol

[solid spear]

worth

[toxic yacht]

fucking western LANs

but yes, 100% worth

[balmy wolf]

[toxic yacht]

:/

I liked them

espeically after the ow open

[balmy wolf]

Yeah : (

[toxic yacht]

they seemed so happy 24/7

even while losing

they were still laughing

and having fun

[balmy wolf]

Snow's hair

[toxic yacht]

tfw he could have been on team brazil but was 17

I hope that he gets to play this year

[solid spear]

is Grim 18 before Blizzcon

[balmy wolf]

Yeah

[solid spear]

oh alrghty

[balmy wolf]

Shadder won't be though

rip romania

[solid spear]

[toxic yacht]

:(

no haksal or whoru for south korea too lol

[solid spear]

well South Korea is stacked at least theyll be fine

rip Romania doe

[toxic yacht]

back when arhan was still good

[balmy wolf]

lul

[toxic yacht]

yee, romania's average top 100 SR is too low

shadder should grind ranked

and singlehandedly increase the SR, lol

[balmy wolf]

He's top 20

not much else he can do lol

[toxic yacht]

shieeet, I forgot

probably getting to 5000 SR also won't help

[balmy wolf]

I dont even think getting to 5k SR

yeah

He's easily the #1 in Romania

[toxic yacht]

I'd be surprised if there was someone better than him lol

[solid spear]

well Im not in Romania so no

[toxic yacht]

kek

[balmy wolf]

Ireland is now 50

[solid spear]

[toxic yacht]

austria is 30 or 31, we're barely gonna make it, luckily

feelsbad for ireland tho :/

[balmy wolf]

Its not like we have good players

We've only increased our average by 63 sr

since like a month ago

[toxic yacht]

tfw kruise was active here during the WC

[balmy wolf]

I wonder what the #1 SR in ireland is if our Top 100 average is 3573

[solid spear]

low gm probably

[toxic yacht]

I wish that blizzard would give us individual country leaderboards

hek

[balmy wolf]

[solid spear]

[toxic yacht]

we climbed 1 rank!

hek, romania is #34

if they'd at least be further away

but fucking 34

man

:/

[balmy wolf]

Yeah we were just talking about how shadder would have to get to 5k to bring them up

[toxic yacht]

yee, I know, but I was under the impression that they were a bit further away

that must sting

[balmy wolf]

Cant wait to see the top 10 be the only teams at blizzcon

[rapid oxide]

there are a lot of country that deserve to go compared to others

[toxic yacht]

they'd have to climb 82 SR in 2 days

[rapid oxide]

italy is trash but we are 20th

[pine star]

We're not even in the top 50 lul

[rapid oxide]

where are you from?

[toxic yacht]

columbia

can't wait to see Dafrag carry Denmark

[pine star]

More like Colulmbia amirite

[floral harness]

Switzerland is 32 ! The dreeam

[toxic yacht]

[pine star]

cries in a corner

[solid spear]

carry Denmark?

[floral harness]

(Gonna get rekt anyway)

[solid spear]

but Exxu

[toxic yacht]

is exxu 18?

I was about to ask him rn

he still goes to school iirc

dunno how easy it would be for him to fly to blizzcon or whatever

but yes, exxu is really fucking good too

[supple nymph]

vods or didnt happen

[solid spear]

vods or you didnt happen

[supple nymph]

😦

[balmy wolf]

exxu getting on team denmark

lul

[rapid oxide]

luckly au is 32, want to see muselk 🙏

[toxic yacht]

he'd also instantly accuse Dafrag of cheating, probably

[rapid oxide]

carry all

[balmy wolf]

Unless the committee are retarded, they wont put someone who doesnt speak on the team

[toxic yacht]

lmao, yes

aimer on team france

[balmy wolf]

Also if AUS doesnt just bring in Blank

Then rip

[toxic yacht]

instead of rogue

[solid spear]

yeah

you shouldnt be seeing Muselk

if the committee has any sense

[toxic yacht]

wat7 is likely gonna be on austria again

[rapid oxide]

dude, muselk have skill

[toxic yacht]

I hope that Veine gets on team germany this time

[rapid oxide]

stylosa once told me rank doesnt matter!

[toxic yacht]

like, austria's mccree

acepalm

[solid spear]

thats true Im and Im a god

[toxic yacht]

[balmy wolf]

Wat7

[toxic yacht]

he got the followup kill a few seconds later anyway

but c'mon

[rapid oxide]

[toxic yacht]

you're gm

[solid spear]

but yeah AUS should just be Blank and maybe Custa

[toxic yacht]

top 500, even

I expect more from you

also, I have a top 500 like, 2 classes away

[balmy wolf]

If they're gonna get Custa they should just make the whole team top 100 aus players

Because having 5 from blank and then custa

is silly

ruins the team synergy

[toxic yacht]

yee

I'm really not a fan of getting whole teams though

I kinda want there to be a rule against that

maybe half a team

at most

[solid spear]

well I just said maybe Custa cuz hes the only other person Id seriously consider

[toxic yacht]

like with LH last year

[solid spear]

when you have Blank

[balmy wolf]

boring reee

[toxic yacht]

if you get whole teams

it'll become even more predictable

and boring

[solid spear]

oh like China did the whole team thing last year

[toxic yacht]

because you know that sweden, france and south korea would 100% make it to the semis

yes, but china sucked, so no one cared

but who knows how good misfits will be by then

Korea is full of monster teams

and rogue is really fucking good

[supple nymph]

rogue is about to get dethroned

[toxic yacht]

like, it wouldn't even be funny lol

[balmy wolf]

By who

[solid spear]

Well I dont think Sweden at least will do the full team thing anyway

[toxic yacht]

or if team finland

gets all of NiP

that'd also be retarded

[supple nymph]

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/commons/images/thumb/f/f1/NRG_eSports.png/50px-NRG_eSports.png

[toxic yacht]

half of NiP was fine

[balmy wolf]

nrg beating rogue

[toxic yacht]

with linkzr, tseini and taimou

[balmy wolf]

oh sorry

nrg making it out of their group

[pine star]

[toxic yacht]

NRG could make it if they were in Rogue's group

at most

they won't be getting past nV and Liquid

[digital pond]

They did go 2-1 with IMT the second day

So they might have had a chance to beat them to 2nd.

[toxic yacht]

if they were in rogue's group they'd get gangbanged by rogue

and then maybe beat the others

[digital pond]

CoL isn't exactly THAT stable

[balmy wolf]

Because they're trialing 1 player?

[toxic yacht]

I wish they had streamed the NRG vs IMT game

[digital pond]

No just in gengeral they feel a bit iffy to me.

[toxic yacht]

it was really close apparently

[digital pond]

Their results can go one way or the over fairly easily.

[toxic yacht]

would have helped dial down the hate for NRG

instead we got to see rogue open another team's ass

[digital pond]

They have games they play well and games they wanna play pharah no matter what and just die.

[toxic yacht]

which is also fine

I guess

but kinda disappoitning

[solid spear]

I love love love Mendo but

wep on like real ping

will probably be an improvement

[digital pond]

He isn't playing anyway

[toxic yacht]

their comps

were always so ugly

because mendo had to play winston

[digital pond]

Or Orisa

[toxic yacht]

at least he could run hanjo

[solid spear]

@Pleure#2719 I know bb

fail tag

[supple nymph]

@Pleure#2719

wtf?

[digital pond]

I'm untaggable.

[solid spear]

[digital pond]

Been like that for weeks now.

It comes on and off

[toxic yacht]

@Pleure#2719

hek

[digital pond]

Not sure why v0v

[toxic yacht]

just go back to anem hiraeth kek

[solid spear]

Im not at fault Im still a god phew

[toxic yacht]

[toxic yacht]

lmfao

[balmy wolf]

unluck

[solid spear]

Oh man sorry to hear that :/

[toxic yacht]

xQc joined your team?

[balmy wolf]

hahahhaa

alot of people thought I was the best player on that team so i can find a new team easily i just cant get depressed about it

[toxic yacht]

:/

[solid spear]

youll be fine

[toxic yacht]

I hope that you find one fast then

[digital pond]

Yeah it's just sucky and we feel ya. We just know you'll find a team.

[toxic yacht]

never got to see you play

[past oar]

sup all

[balmy wolf]

yeah dont worry ill be on a new team really soon and you'll see me more in tournaments and such

[digital pond]

\o.o/

Yo Rush

[past oar]

tons of games today

[balmy wolf]

yep

[past oar]

should be exciting

[digital pond]

I'm excited to see Selly and Xepher play.

[solid spear]

gods

[balmy wolf]

dont miss c9, they've been performing really well and if nothing changes today they will be nuts

[digital pond]

Everyone talks about them being so good. And Xepher looked really good.

At least on the streams I saw him.

[solid spear]

Selly is actually so dumb

[balmy wolf]

dont miss envy either

[solid spear]

hes crazy

[digital pond]

So I heard

[past oar]

so Ultimawep is playing for NRG today

[balmy wolf]

mickie has been spamming genji and ranked and usually when that happens its for a reason 0-0

[past oar]

not sure what to expect

[digital pond]

Yeah I wanna see nV because we haven't seen them in a while. Harry said they would do some role swaps.

[solid spear]

thats whatIve heard but I havent seen confirmation

on wep

[balmy wolf]

its confirmed

[digital pond]

Hoping his Genji is much better than last time he streams.

[past oar]

it confirmed

[balmy wolf]

im ringing for him on rockets in scrims today

[solid spear]

oh I see

[toxic yacht]

I've been seeing him spam genji on stream, although I wasn't too impressed. He probably wasn't being super serious

[digital pond]

But frankly I'm actually hyped to see a lot of teams this tournament. I'm a bit dissapointed Splyce doesn't get at least one streamed game.

Wanted to see my boy Dogman play.

[toxic yacht]

I'd like to see his genji in a tournament setting

[balmy wolf]

mickie or ultima sojum?

[toxic yacht]

mickie

[solid spear]

both lul

[balmy wolf]

ah yeah

[toxic yacht]

ultima's genji is insane

I still remember it from his method days

[balmy wolf]

when i played with mickie it was off stream and he was doing really well

[toxic yacht]

ahhh, okay

[balmy wolf]

ultima is really nuts with pharah and genji and that will help nrgs flexibility

[digital pond]

WTB 1 Streamed Splyce game

T_T

[solid spear]

gonna catch so many vods

this weekend

[toxic yacht]

yeah, lol

so many matches

[past oar]

Joshy and Jorosar casting groups A and B

[toxic yacht]

such a bad time for me

[past oar]

what matchup are you guys looking forward to watch today?

[solid spear]

all of them

[balmy wolf]

c9 vs imt

[solid spear]

[past oar]

EnVy vs Liquid for me, i think

[toxic yacht]

the ones with heroes

and maps

[past oar]

but pretty much all of them should be interesting to watch i guess

[digital pond]

n/Liquid. C9/IMT. GFE v Tempo.

Those are my 3 games

Last one because I feel like they're closer in skill.

And it should be a close game.

[past oar]

GFE tempo is offstream, isn't it?

[digital pond]

Nope

It's on the game list on the Gosugamer ticker 😄

in 5 hours

[past oar]

the only game GFE is getting on stream is vs C9

[digital pond]

Rip

I believed

[past oar]

they have the bracket up right on stream

[digital pond]

I'm not on the stream

Watching Jake

[past oar]

but yea, not on stream

[supple nymph]

what's a Jake

[digital pond]

S A D B O Y Z

LGE team captain.

[past oar]

Rogue's matches should be quick

i'm just guessing

[digital pond]

What's the map order for the tournament?

[past oar]

may be wrong tho

don't know yet

[supple nymph]

it's hair guy

hairspray? guy

[digital pond]

No idea what he does with his hair

[past oar]

@digital pond broadcast started, if you're interested

[digital pond]

Be there in a sec.

[past oar]

game is up!

wow

so quick

[jaunty rune]

Ya'll, do you think 12 year olds are mature?

Shit, I pressed on the wrong chat once again.

[digital pond]

I'm kinda happy Ishiny gets to play not Rein.

[spring lintel]

Are you guys ready for an hour of rogue stomping?

Yeah me neither

[solid spear]

Ill admit these arent the matches Im looking forward to most

[digital pond]

I don't mind watching them.

[spring lintel]

It's just like watching a normal comp stomp

[digital pond]

I guess.

[balmy wolf]

For casual viewers i can see why its bad

[digital pond]

I still enjoy seeing their target focus and their target calling coordination.

[spring lintel]

It's not bad

[digital pond]

Not many teams do it as well.

[spring lintel]

It's just boring

They are just too fucking good

[digital pond]

That's more on the teams they face though.

[spring lintel]

Like TOO GOOD

[balmy wolf]

Yeah thats what i mean

Its boring for casual viewers

So I understand it

[spring lintel]

I am baffled of how perfect they do it

[digital pond]

Practice.

[spring lintel]

Like every ult always work

Rarely do they throw an ylt

Ult*

[digital pond]

Obviously most people don't speak french but if you watch their stream they're all pretty much perfectionnist.

Things have to be down to a T and they keep working on it until it is.

[spring lintel]

What sucks more is that theres not team like them

[digital pond]

IT's pretty crazy.

[spring lintel]

Like it's not just practice

[past oar]

you a frenchie?

[digital pond]

Well they will have more exciting games in APEX

Yeah

[spring lintel]

The chemistry is INSANE

[past oar]

this is their meta

[digital pond]

Yup

[past oar]

works like a charm for them

[digital pond]

They like the meta and they play a lot.

[spring lintel]

Other teams can play the meta too

[past oar]

I believe they could be very strong in any meta tho

[digital pond]

Yeah but I think people approach it differently. And not all teams play dive.

[spring lintel]

Nope if dive get nerfed they are fucked

Very hard

[digital pond]

Iono

[spring lintel]

They will need to practice a lot

[digital pond]

Well they do practice a lot.

[past oar]

nah, man

[spring lintel]

I mean in other metas

[past oar]

they have a deep hero pool

[spring lintel]

If dive gets nerfed they are beyond fucked

[digital pond]

The meta is favorable to them and they practice sometimes more than other teams.

I don't think it would be an issue if the meta is not favorable practice wise.

But they'll definitely have to adapt.

Thing is Tracer is always meta

[spring lintel]

If dive get nerfed, other teams have the edge against rogue

[digital pond]

So I doubt SoOn will have to change

[spring lintel]

Tracer cant do shit alone

[balmy wolf]

lol @ you thinking rogue is fucked if dive isnt meta

[spring lintel]

In pro matches that is

[solid spear]

Well

[past oar]

yep

[digital pond]

Tracer works in any meta really

[past oar]

agree

[solid spear]

fucked is an overstatement

[digital pond]

Selfless doesn't play dive and tracer works

[solid spear]

they might not be as dominant

[spring lintel]

Tracer gets easily picked alone

[digital pond]

You can play her in pretty much any comp.

[solid spear]

either way Rogue is really good

[balmy wolf]

Tracer has always been a good pick

[spring lintel]

You can but better picks are there

[digital pond]

Sinatraa plays her diving alone lmao

[solid spear]

Tracer has literally never not been good

[digital pond]

Dafran doesn't dive with him

[past oar]

Soldier too, is an overall great pick

[solid spear]

even in tank meta Tracer got play

[digital pond]

She will always be good because of her kit

[spring lintel]

Yeah but sinatraa is one trick

[digital pond]

So is SoOn

[balmy wolf]

wut

[digital pond]

Hhe made his name in France stream one trick tracer

[balmy wolf]

SoOn isnt a one trick

[spring lintel]

He is

[solid spear]

neither are

[digital pond]

He was when he started

[past oar]

sinatraa has a decent zarya and hog

[solid spear]

no

[balmy wolf]

He isnt lol

[solid spear]

he

is not

[digital pond]

The very first time he hit Rank 1

Like 5 months ago

[balmy wolf]

You are just an idiot

[spring lintel]

He is not that good with other heroes

[balmy wolf]

Not you pleure

[solid spear]

have you watched Soon before this year?

[spring lintel]

Nope

[balmy wolf]

Baaam you clearly just havent followed the scene

[solid spear]

thats why

[balmy wolf]

He is very very good on all the other hitscans

[solid spear]

you think he is a one trick

[digital pond]

SoOn played Mccree at APEX too

iirc

[spring lintel]

So is iddqd

[digital pond]

Before the three way change

[spring lintel]

But did you see his nrg play?

[balmy wolf]

It's just his Tracer is his best hero

And a stream title means nothing

[solid spear]

Idd has nothing to do with this

[digital pond]

But he isn't iddq

[balmy wolf]

Its just memes

[spring lintel]

What I mean is that skill decay

[balmy wolf]

iddqd tracer one trick

[past oar]

what can nico play at his genji level?

[balmy wolf]

lol im done

cya

[solid spear]

Soon is a very good McCree, Reaper

Polo he wasnt saying that

[spring lintel]

Who said iddqd is a one trick?

[solid spear]

but still

[digital pond]

Nico plays a lot of soldier, some sombra and some zarya.

Not sure at what level though.

[past oar]

awesome

[spring lintel]

I mean iddqd was good with hitscans but now he isnt that good anymore

Skill is always changing

You can judge someone from a year ago

[supple nymph]

WTF

noone on the cart?

[spring lintel]

When he has been playing 1 hero for months

[digital pond]

He streams other heroes

[solid spear]

Sure I understand what you mean

there may be a little rust

[spring lintel]

Yeah streaming is different

[solid spear]

but saying hes a one trick

[digital pond]

He's played soldier and McCree on stream

[solid spear]

is wild

and Im sure hes still practicing

other heros

[spring lintel]

Yeah I guess saying he is one trick was a bit much

I jus didnt know

[digital pond]

I doubt they only scrim those heroes.

[toxic yacht]

iddqd last played cree at the ow open and fucking dominated, he hasn't been on a practiced team since then

[digital pond]

They aren't retarded.

[balmy wolf]

They can play other comps

[toxic yacht]

like, iddqd played cree for 5 seconds on NRG

[balmy wolf]

They just haven't needed to change it up

[toxic yacht]

and did well for those 5 seconds

[digital pond]

They said themselves they don't need to change their comp because it works.

[balmy wolf]

Because no team has posed enough of a problem apparently

[digital pond]

And when they need to swap they swap.

[supple nymph]

didnt iddqd play mostly tracer in the tournament?

[digital pond]

They swapped against Selfless on King's Row

[spring lintel]

2 AMM ago they almost lost when they didnt play dive

[supple nymph]

i dont think it's his best hero

[digital pond]

They don't play dive when they swap mid game

[solid spear]

Like I dont think its unfair to say if they meta shifted away from dive they could be a little worse but saying theyll just crumble and die cuz theyre a team of one tricks is a crazy overstatement

[digital pond]

They swapped against Selfless on last point King's Row to stop them

[balmy wolf]

They switched NiCO to Zarya for 30s, Rogue have never not run Dive or half dive

[digital pond]

They also thew at the beginning to meme

Cause they were up 1 game

And just meme'ed with Widow

[arctic wave]

I've heard they've scrimmed other comps but they only bring it out if they cant win with dive

[digital pond]

Pretty much

[toxic yacht]

rogue has been scrimming other copms

yes

[digital pond]

Knoxx said himself. Dive works for us and we win.

We have no need to swap.

[toxic yacht]

but they've been playing with a hand tied behind their backs

[digital pond]

If it stops working they'll swap.

[toxic yacht]

gonna swap when they're really forced to

[spring lintel]

My personal opinion is if dive get nerfed hard they wont be dominating and I can easily see selfless destroying them

[arctic wave]

They sometimes put nico on dva

[toxic yacht]

selfless made them swap once

put knoxxx on rein

[arctic wave]

akm can play amazing mcree

[toxic yacht]

and nico on reaper

[digital pond]

Knoxx himself said Selfless's Comp is actually a nightmare for them.

And probably the best to counter them right now.

[toxic yacht]

selfless comp counters their comp

but they're so goddamn good that they can still beat them

although it's just barely

[digital pond]

Yeah.

[spring lintel]

Korean teams will exactly do that

[toxic yacht]

selfless is getting closer every time

[pine star]

Oh shit I'm late

[balmy wolf]

you just have a hardon for rogue losing

[pine star]

Is it over?

[digital pond]

Definile always hyped to see Rogue v selfless

[toxic yacht]

I was thinking that rogue would figure them out, but it's kinda the opposite

[digital pond]

First map is over Sulli

[toxic yacht]

wut

[digital pond]

Hollywood and dorado next

[toxic yacht]

lmao

[pine star]

Nice

Not too late

[toxic yacht]

I was playing a ranked game

fuck

[spring lintel]

I am just being logical you guys havent seen them dominating o anything other than dive

Why do you think that?

"Because it always work"

[toxic yacht]

they haven't been dominating on anything else because they've been dominating on this

fucking kresnik

said that they've been scrimming with other comps

[digital pond]

We don't think they'll get wiped post Dive nerf because they explicitly said themselves they are practicing other comps and can play them.

[toxic yacht]

iirc it was kresnik, right?

[pine star]

Trying to dive Rogue

[digital pond]

They aren't sitting on their hands just playing drive.

They might not fully dominate as hard.

[spring lintel]

Everyone practice all comps

[digital pond]

But they won't just kneel over and die.

[spring lintel]

But are they good at it

[digital pond]

None of us have seen scrim results.

[toxic yacht]

why would they run other comps?
