I think Cocco outplayed every Rein

Tru

solid spear
#

I mean he's one of (If not the) best Rein players in the west

pine star
#

But that clip vs Nomy was something else

solid spear
#

So not surprised

forest raven
#

If Lui stays nV will have their customary NA player again

Taimou yesterday just made me long again for McCree buffs

#

I like watching good 76s and all but

#

Nothing like a great McCree

#

And you don't see it much nowadays

#

And Draw pls

pine star
#

Can we take a minute to appreciate how EnVy forced KnoxXx to play Rein for the first time ever?

forest raven
#

Not the first time

#

He pulled him out for a couple seconds against Selfless once or twice

#

I believe on last of KR too

pine star
#

Did he?

forest raven
#

Yep

pine star
#

Missed that

#

I pog champed so hard lol

Due to what?

#

Hmm?

pine star
#

feelsbad 🔫

solid spear
#

Bruh

clever wagon
#

OWL of course

#

The ever glorified Blizzard privately-managed league that NOBODY HAS THE SLIGHTEST FUCKING CLUE ABOUT

#

Not just the pros, we viewers also lose so much for not being able to enjoy them anymore

solid spear
#

So wtf is there to watch anymore

#

Ugh

clever wagon
#

Western LANs just instantly disappeared when 2017 came and now they also deprive the community of even onlines

solid spear
#

I don't wanna just watch Apex 24/7

toxic yacht
#

well, get ready for that

#

lol

clever wagon
#

All because of the glorified, sacrosanct OWL

toxic yacht
#

probably want to kill the entire scene and restart it how they like it

#

lol

clever wagon
#

I mean honestly

#

We probably would be fine if there's something concrete about OWL by now

#

But no

#

Especially the orgs

toxic yacht
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

solid spear
#

Almost making me wanna watch anime or something

#

Blizzard pls

Hi guys

Hiya

#

Hello, we discuss overwatch esports

brave jackal
#

Nice

toxic yacht
#

ok

#

we discusss ow esports

#

attack on titan a bit higher up

vestal mortar
#

😉

sturdy granite
#

OWL was a nice idea and all, but I think we could have waited a couple more years for the scene to settle. The lack of anything EU lately has been a bummer.

pine star
#

They probably had all this OWL ready before the game came out

#

So waiting a couple years was never an option

toxic yacht
#

they probably didn't want the scene to settle because they'd have to kill it

#

so they'd rather kill it very early on

#

instead of restructuring everything when it's already matured

crisp lynx
#

lunatic hai 3rd member announced

#

i mean 3rd sub

pine star
#

They wouldn't have to kill it if they just fucking made some info public for the orgs and tourney organisers (งツ)ว

crisp lynx
#

claris, munchkin both are canceled

sturdy granite
#

But wouldn't it be better to work with an already matured scene, maybe around the 2-3 year mark? Overwatch isn't even a year old yet.

toxic yacht
#

OW League's structure is completely different

#

with team's bidding for cities

#

and stuff

#

they'd ruin a lot of shit if they suddenly thrust that on an already existing scene

pine star
#

Yeah

#

Probably not a good idea

#

The scene would have grown too much, and changing the scheme for an already stablished and mature scene is not a wise decision

#

But the way they're handling it now isn't either imo

#

But what the hell do I know

vestal mortar
#

Yeah I don't think waiting until later would have helped

pine star
#

They just need to fucking give us something

#

ANYTHING

vestal mortar
#

Blizzard pls, at least give the orgs something

sturdy granite

Everything coming up is all Asia and Pacific, ugh

Strimmin regular OW tournies. They're the first OW tournies i ever watched

toxic yacht
#

hey, look at it this way

#

if ow becomes super big

#

people like you, oreo, tara and polo

#

can gloat about how you've been watching since the scene's infancy

#

even I only really got into the scene around the OW Open

gentle shuttle
#

Infancy would be closed beta doe

toxic yacht
#

you weren't watching back in closed beta?

#

shite

gentle shuttle
#

Not at the beginning

toxic yacht
#

uhh, very early scene then

gentle shuttle
#

I can't really pin point when i first got interested in OW 🤔

vestal mortar
#

Yee, I will be an overwatch esports hipster 😎

toxic yacht
#

I got interested pretty much exactly during the whole "1HL" issue

#

saw someone on r/ow link a video of IDDQD bastion

#

saw LG, and I knew that Seagull was on it

#

so I watched LG vs Nubris because of that

#

so I watched LG vs Nubris because of that

vestal mortar
#

Feels like so long ago

toxic yacht
#

yeah, so much has changed since then

#

like, the ESL playoff teams

#

range from 2/6 people gone to the entire roster being unrecognizable

#

c9, nV, Rogue, ReUnited, Misfits, Fnatic, coL

gentle shuttle
#

I still miss Esper :c

#

Woa

toxic yacht
#

lol, I already wondered what was up

#

ezperado

Stupid phones 🙃

Now that I think of it, I started watching when Indust was on LG

So I never even saw Esper, lol

I'm still convinced this is LG's best performance to date

#

they finally beat C9

#

it's funny how Gods picked up Widow as soon as she went out of meta, then went ham

crisp lynx
#

wNv kalios -> runaway

#

mirage the korean streamer -> runaway too

toxic yacht
#

I never heard of them, but they found more people, yay

#

Although Mirage seems kinda familiar

crisp lynx
#

wNv.KR is chinese team which has only korean player.

toxic yacht
#

So, Mano left iirc, right?

#

Oh yeah, heard of the team

crisp lynx
#

mano is afreeca freecs blue

#

he didn't left

toxic yacht
#

They were looking for an off-tank replacement and got a 9th(?) player? I haven't been keeping track

#

At all

#

Oops, I'm dumb

wintry matrix
#

Was Runaway confirmed for APEX?

toxic yacht
#

Forgot his name, but he was on the roster last season

crisp lynx
#

as i know it's 8 member, no coma, no shine now

#

6 member from starting member of season 2 + 2 new member

toxic yacht
#

Oh yeah, coma

#

That was his name

#

Shine also left?

crisp lynx
#

yes they are left

#

runner announce this today from his stream

#

20 min ago

#

@wintry matrix yes

#

wNv.KR is really dominated in chinese team.

#

so we are looking forward to kalios.

clever wagon
#

@wintry matrix Teams that came out of the last season in like top 5 or something (forgot the number) are usually participating from the get go without any qualifier

wintry matrix
#

I know, i asked because, didn't theyw ere going to disband or something?

clever wagon
#

So unless RunAway says otherwise (which would be news reddit won't miss out on) I think yes they will be partici-- what

#

Where did you hear about that

wintry matrix
#

Even in the open mic runner said something like APEX 2 was going to be their last

pine star
#

Runner was trying out people

clever wagon
#

If that was the case I would assume Reddit especially TISrobin the resident Korean OW social media translator won't miss out on that

#

So I doubt that

#

Idk though

wintry matrix
#

i just remember a post saying that Runner was thinking about the future and that disbanding wasn't unlikely

pine star
#

It was on Reddit

#

Look it up

clever wagon
#

What specific keywords should I use

#

Because Reddit search engine isn't google

pine star
#

Runner tryouts? I don't really remember lol

#

Just search for Runner or Runaway

#

I'm sure it will come out

wintry matrix
#

this one?

clever wagon
#

Nope

#

And the post is by TISrobin

#

Welp

wintry matrix
#

that's great then

pine star
#

There you go

clever wagon
#

Also I've read that old post when it was just posted and I never noticed any notion of disbanding

pine star
#

I'm still sure there was a post about tryouts

#

But that post confirms there were tryouts

clever wagon
#

All Runner mentioned was the sponsorship issues

#

I also watched his thank you for foreigner support video

pine star
#

Oh I never said they were disbanded, I was in fact denying the claim they were disbanding given the fact that they were doing tryouts

clever wagon
#

Everything I said is for @wintry matrix because he was the one that said it first

pine star
#

I was on your side the whole time bb

crisp lynx
#

i saw that reddit now.

#

something wrong. wNv.KR is not disband.

#

only kalios left.

clever wagon
#

Basically everything I've said in disagreement

#

About RunAway that is

#

No idea about wNv

"As rumors circulate about franchising in Activision Blizzard’s Overwatch League (“OWL”) and Riot’s League Championship Series (“LCS”) so have whispers of exclusivity. Exclusivity, for the purposes of this article, means that a team participating as a franchise in one of these leagues could only participate in this respective league and play this respective game. This, in theory, would apply to both endemic esports teams and the traditional sports teams who are being courted by both developers. For example, if Cloud9 or TSM chose to purchase an OWL franchise, they could no longer be allowed to field Vain Glory teams. If the New England Patriots or Dallas Cowboys owners purchased an OWL franchise, they could not field Dota2 teams or fighting game players."

#

Is this shit true???

wintry matrix
#

Where you saw that?

pine star
#

As far as I know, OWL will have franchising, not exclusivity

Agilities is 17

Turns 18 like a month after the WC

toxic yacht
#

I mean, he's 16 according to immortals.gg. Dunmo how outdated it is though

forest raven
#

I think he said on strim he's trying to get in to the WC because he turns 18 so soon afterwards

toxic yacht
#

Emphasis on trying

I'm gonna be happy if he magically manages it though

Le Baguette preparing to invade Korea

toxic yacht

it'd be hilarious of they fail

solid spear
#

Ye

toxic yacht
#

but seriously, I want them to rekted everyone

solid spear
#

I mean

#

I like

#

Want them to lose

toxic yacht
#

I want them to lose

#

but not to koreans

solid spear
#

But i don't want them to lose at the same time

#

Cuz like

#

Everyone will suck Koreans

#

Basically Envy better show up

#

I think my western pride overrides my desire for Rogue to lose

clever wagon
#

Imagine what would happen to esports fandom if they win over Koreans

solid spear
#

I mean NV did it

#

People just pretend it never happened though lol

clever wagon
#

Different circumstances now

#

At least for our, OW, community

#

Best patch since the game came out

balmy wolf
#

rogue is one of the only teams that will be able to match koreans dives

#

and aggression

clever wagon
#

No three way trade

#

Eeey it's Toy

balmy wolf
#

hallo

clever wagon
#

But yeah, best patch since the game came out, no three way trade threatening their rosters, both NV and Rogue proving they're top 2 NA

#

How's Teamofsnow @balmy wolf

balmy wolf
#

i left/got cut

#

because someones friend wanted my spot

clever wagon

Win or lose

I expect the games to be fun

#

Group A monkaS

rapid oxide
#

TSM LUL

toxic yacht
#

tbh I want Selfless to be the ones who beat Rogue

#

I've loved Rogue since ESL, but watching the same team dominate gets really boring. No hard feelings involved, I think that they're fucking awesome and that Winz is an amazing memer, but knowing the outcome of every tournament gets boring. At least they had a ton of competition back when EU was big

solid spear
#

Thing is Rogue seems to just clutch out series all the time

#

They don't look unbeatable or stupid dominant

#

They've had close series but they just won't lose lol

toxic yacht
#

it's done

#

the teams are locked in

vestal mortar
#

Aww yeah

feral solar
#

NZ made it 😂

toxic yacht

just barely

but you made it 👌

feral solar

ez for nz

I really don't give a shit about my own country

@gentle shuttle cause styolsa widowlol

@rapid oxide lmao

#

@iron cedar she gets played on Nepal sanctum and village by some teams

clever wagon
#

Indonesia

onyx shore
#

guys

#

the top 32 are locked

#

so,will france's team filled with rogue's members?

pine star
#

I kind of don't want full teams to represent countries pixelThenk

onyx shore
#

why not? all of them are french,right?

gentle shuttle
#

feels super unfair

pine star
#

If your country doesn't have a current team, you have literally no chance of winning

gentle shuttle
#

there's enough talent in france to make a mixup team anyways

#

i'm sure Rogue would agree that would be unfair too

onyx shore
#

unfair?

pine star
#

I say do it like a soccer football world cup, pick various players from different clubs

#

Yes, unfair.

onyx shore
#

so basically last world cup south korea won with unfair advantage?

gentle shuttle
#

right

pine star
#

No

gentle shuttle
#

i mean they're still better

pine star
#

They weren't all in a team

onyx shore
#

oh

gentle shuttle
#

but you have a team full of pros

onyx shore
#

you mean unfair to another french players?

gentle shuttle
#

then teams full of 'popular strimmers xd'

pine star
#

Neither

#

Unfair because they already have the synergy that other countries can't possibly have

onyx shore
#

i think if a country wants to win,they must select the strongest squad possible,regardless of pro/streamers

pine star
#

May as well just give them the first place

onyx shore
#

i know it's kinda dilema

#

like australia

#

would you like musel K in your team again

#

it's good for exposure

pine star
#

No

onyx shore
#

but there are people better than him

#

but not as famous

pine star
#

But there are a couple pro teams in Australia

#

My point is

#

Having full rosters already stablished to represent a country seems unfair to countries without one

clever wagon
#

We need Fusion Girls on Australia's speed dial for national OW team like Baguette Boys

toxic yacht
#

I hope that there is a rule agianst full teams

#

half a team at most

#

imo

pine star
#

Yeah

toxic yacht
#

like half of nip last year

#

or half of LH

pine star
#

Max 3 from a single team

onyx shore
#

nah,it's like saying that it's unfair to north korea if portugal use cristiano ronaldo against them

#

that's good actually

toxic yacht
#

If I want to see Rogue or Misfits play

onyx shore
#

but if it's down to voting

toxic yacht
#

I will watch a tournament

onyx shore
#

for usa

pine star
#

Cristiano Ronaldo is one person lol what are you even talking about?

onyx shore
#

will it be seagull again?

toxic yacht
#

hopefully

#

he was really good last year

pine star
#

The bird brings the exposure and the skill

onyx shore
#

just hope that coldhand-gate wont happen again,lol

pine star
#

I just don't want Poke or muselk or freaking Kitty again

onyx shore
#

i think if it's down to voting,the musel K will captain the team again

pine star
#

Which, with the current system, hopefully won't happen ever again

onyx shore
#

wont happen?

#

how?

pine star
#

It's not down to voting

#

You vote for the committee

onyx shore
#

ah

toxic yacht
#

and the commitee makes a team

pine star
#

The committee chooses the team

onyx shore
#

hmm...

toxic yacht
#

I say that we get hex, zp and flame

#

into the USA commitee

pine star
#

Seems good

toxic yacht
#

jk, I can't even vote for the USA commitee, lol

onyx shore
#

what if the comitee said "we need exposure"

#

lul

pine star
toxic yacht
#

this is why we should vote a commitee who our country trusts

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

pine star
#

And I mean

#

The 10 candidates are selected by Blizzard

onyx shore
#

let's say if pewdiepie plays overwatch,and he's a diamond,will it be better for sweden team to select him?

pine star
#

That hopefully reduces the chances of bullshit

toxic yacht
#

nah, they wouldn't

#

sweden is too competitive for that

#

they take gaming very seriously

#

there is a reason why half the competitive scene is swedish

true tide
#

Who even is going to play for Team UK?

onyx shore
#

Stylosa

#

pine star
#

I wouldn't mind if stylosa gets selected for the committee tbh

onyx shore
#

muscle K,brad,tyrodin,bazza

pine star
#

Yes, the guy is clickbaity

#

But he seems to know his way around the pro scene

toxic yacht
#

yes, but he was shit last year

#

he even said that he felt completely outclassed

iron cedar
#

who?

toxic yacht
#

sty

pine star
#

Yeah obviously

onyx shore
#

stylosa played lucio last year

toxic yacht
#

like, the played vs motherfucking finland

pine star
#

That's why I said for the committee

#

Not for the actual team

toxic yacht
#

it was the most hilarious game of the WC

#

ah, yes

onyx shore
#

nah

#

the most hilarious game

toxic yacht
#

committee would make sense

pine star
#

Stylosa on Lucio LULXD

onyx shore
#

was SK vs australia

toxic yacht
#

he was actually watching ESL live at gamescom

pine star
#

SK vs Aussie was a match for the ages

toxic yacht
#

he's actually relatively interested in the pro scene

onyx shore
#

did you see the face of korean player after they finish 1 match

#

it was gold

pine star
#

I follow him on Twitter

onyx shore
#

like

#

"what's this?"

#

"meh"

pine star
#

Half his tweets are esports related + banter with Numlocked

onyx shore
#

and then sym-torb-junkrat defense on eichenwalde

pine star
#

The guy's ok

toxic yacht
#

I don't have any issues with sty

#

was subbed to him for a few months

#

like, from open beta

#

to somewhere this year

pine star
#

@onyx shore it was a legit strat, 100% not trolling

toxic yacht
#

actively watched his shit for around 6 months

#

he's fine

onyx shore
#

yeah

#

wait,did last year australia merged with new zealand?

#

or just australia?

toxic yacht
#

I don't think that NZ made it out

#

of the group stages

onyx shore
#

ah

pine star
#

They did

#

They are 32

toxic yacht
#

last year

pine star
#

Ah

onyx shore
#

yeah

toxic yacht
#

they fucked up by never practicing

onyx shore
#

well

pine star
#

Yeah I hope it's the same

onyx shore
#

usa did that too

#

see what happen

#

that's why i said coldhand-gate

#

"my hands are cold,let's not practice"

clever wagon
onyx shore
#

"let's play diablo instead"

#

"let's just wander at blizzcon"

toxic yacht
#

tbh I understand them

pine star
#

"Cosplayers gachiGASM "

onyx shore
#

i wonder who said those things though

#

ofc it's not ster or seagull

clever wagon
#

It's not ster or seagull talespin

#

Afaik

pine star
#

Probably Gods

#

Used his bald powers to convince them

onyx shore
#

well,if you get selected to represent your country,at least have the decency to practice why

#

even though you know you're gonna get blasted by south korea

pine star
toxic yacht
#

I mean, USA could have won if it hadn't been for korea

#

and they finally got a break

pine star
#

Only thing I know is

#

Korea can't win this one

onyx shore
#

why?

#

i think they have chance,but wont be as easy as last year though

pine star
#

With can't I mean we can't allow them to

#

This year will certainly be more competitive

toxic yacht
#

lol, I think people are salty about last year

onyx shore
#

that;s up to other nation to git gud

toxic yacht
#

especially since we can finally put together decent teams

onyx shore
#

well,that's what you got for voting for popularity instead of skills

pine star
#

Hopefully no more nano boosted Symmetra shenanigans

toxic yacht
#

that's what you get for making an open vote

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

onyx shore
#

yeah

toxic yacht
#

like, I have no idea wtf blizz was thinking

#

of course korean and swedish fans would tryhard the votes

onyx shore
#

so,france missed a big chance last year?

toxic yacht
#

lmao

#

france

#

🤦

#

rogue

#

literally the best team in the world at the time

#

had 4 french

#

misfits had 2 french

#

well, 3

#

because of kryw 🤦

pine star
#

Let's better put Alphacast and Kitty

toxic yacht
#

at least they got knoxxx and kryw

onyx shore
#

well

gentle shuttle
#

@iron cedar i'm sure NRG, C9 and Selfless have all used her

#

Ilios wells is another one

onyx shore

hell yeah for diversity and inclusivism zaryalol

onyx shore
#

toxic yacht
#

but monte and the other analysts

onyx shore
#

"ahh...russia is certainly easier"

toxic yacht
#

bullied him into saying finaland 2-1

onyx shore
#

lul

pine star
#

Finland vs Russia

toxic yacht
#

"We know what ShaDowBurn does"

#

yeah, knowing what he does doesn't mean that you can counter it

#

pine star

I have flashbacks of Timo clutch head pop off on Dorado defense

toxic yacht
#

I also know how russia plays

pine star
toxic yacht
#

that entire part was gachiGASM

#

shadowburn nanobladewipes the team

#

taimou clutches and saves the team

pine star

And then Shadowburn deflects deadeye into his face

shadowburn nanobladewipes again and deflects taimou's deadeye

"you may have the best genji,but we have the best winston widowlol " -south korea
