is it me or is Taimou a bit of a boring player
like u see it at the end of the game
"oh wow Taimou has 32 kills"
but u can never remember them.
can u remember a single Taimou kill ?
but try AKM...u can see the flick
i remember a AKM flick.

i think the most memorable taimou kill is on roadhog
when he single handedly defend the payload with nanoboosted roadhog
i forgot who's the enemy

From what I udnerstood it was baserd on which region accounts were originally made.
So assumed 2 of his accounts counted v0v
gentle shuttle
but i figured back before OW released that there would be a shiiiiiit ton of offline events for this game
digital pond
Well if you didn't see the post on COW. Apparently monthly 10k tournaments are going away.
gentle shuttle
but i guess since it's so esports teams arent really willing to go to rag-tag lan events
digital pond
Which might snowball more tournaments to go away.
digital pond
gentle shuttle
money man...
in the fgc there's an abundance of tourneys and people play just for pride, bragging rights or to see where they stand against other players
digital pond
It's a lot of money invested into tournament with nothing probably from Blizzard, as well as schedule, time logistics etc etc.
gentle shuttle
esports 
digital pond
So they probably will stop until OWL if they do stop.
It's kinda why more orgs are shying from investing.
Everyone needs more info to justify putting their money in cause there's currently limited return.
rapid oxide
im pretty sure some news will come out soon
if blizzard stopped online tournament there's a reason
they are not complete retards
and there's a rumor about smth big going on
just be patient and wait
one day, when owl would be huge, you will think about this day and be like "why i was worried about no info, this game is succesfull af"
gentle shuttle
i dont doubt it the games success at all
i guess i just had a weird perspective on how things would've happened due to the scene i'm used to
does anybody have that revamped spectator ui mock up?
the example used Seagull on Pharah iirc

Why won't they allow lans?
gentle shuttle
that's so retarded
i can only imagine the backlash capcom would be getting if they'd done with with the Pro Tour
balmy wolf
they wont allow lans because they have to sanction them and shit and they're working on the OWL
fleet idol
also blizzard is bad with esports
they're at least allowing the asian lans to continue
gentle shuttle
pfft
fleet idol
yeah if you thought capcom was bad
you should see blizzard's history with their esports
gentle shuttle
esports is the one thing capcom aren't completly terrible with
man...i just hope its worth it.

i've seen a bunch of shills here who think it'll go amazingly well
but i think most people are being cautiously optimistic
gentle shuttle
its mind blowing to me. "oh you bought the game and wanna run a tournament with it? nah fams. its our game. bitch u thought."
pine star
It's their game tho...
If I buy a bluray of a movie doesn't mean I have the right of putting a giant screen in the middle of my city and play it there
balmy wolf
I think the first season of OWL will be ok, not fantastic but first seasons are always rough
fleet idol
i think as long as you have a city permit for display
pine star
How so?
fleet idol
you can do it without the studio's permission
pine star
I'm pretty sure in the blu-ray it states that you're not allowed to broadcast them publicly
Point is
It IS their game
And they can allow or deny permissions to run tournaments on it
Hulk live @ The Overview btw
https://www.twitch.tv/chanmanv
gentle shuttle
wack
toxic yacht
nope, you aren't allowed to broadcast a movie/music in front af a large audience without permission from the publisher
but people just don't gaf about it and publishers don't go after it as long as it isn't super significant
balmy wolf
How large of an audience are we talking
toxic yacht
not sure, actually
it mostly isn't of concern since they won't go after anyone except it's a cinema, festival or some shit
pine star
The point is, it is their movie, and they can ban from doing it if they want
Not saying if they do or not, but they have the right to

casuals being more aware of pro plays/comps = better quality of life during in-game queues

I don't have anything against him personnaly. I think some of his videos are a bit annoying or lackluster, but he's helped getting more players.
Him helping with esport coverage is just posivite af

I've pretty much stopped watching his videos too
But we esports nerds are not really his target audience

anything that brings more attention to eSports is fine in my book

That much was clear really
balmy wolf
And he subbed for a tournament
Which isn't all that uncommon
then it was ultimawep because mendo had to get some dentistry done
gentle shuttle
if we looked back on everything thats happened over the last 2 weeks or so
balmy wolf
It was previously reported that he would be playing with Red Reserve, his brother's team, at the Copenhagen Games tournament this weekend but he has now confirmed that he will no longer be attending, required instead in the Overwatch Monthly Melee for NRG.
velvet scarab
Mendo is still signed with C9
balmy wolf
Only the Melee
velvet scarab
He was just subbing for nrg
supple nymph
ok... but later on: "NRG's President Brett Lautenbach said about the move: Seagull has been an incredible member of NRG Overwatch, and while we're sad to see him step down from the active roster we are thrilled that he is staying in the NRG Family. We are excited to announce that Mendo will be stepping in to fill Seagull's role. Mendo is an incredible competitor and an excellent addition to the roster."
i guess you are technically right but it seems ambiguous
balmy wolf
Not really but okay
If he was going to join NRG, he wouldn't be contracted under C9
He would have just left instead of being inactive
velvet scarab

spring lintel
He said it multiple times that he is still with c9
Anyways i heard ow esport is dying ๐ค

if he is contracted with c9 but not on the active roster can he just go play with whatever team he wants as much as he wants?

Well, Blizzard isn't making it particularily easy to be optimistic, lol
You basically have a company doing something that no one ever did and destroying a ton of stuff that was already going well, killing an entire region competitively AND not saying anything at all
It'd be fine if I had faith in Blizzard, but the previous eSports that they got heavily involved in didn't go particularily well
balmy wolf
I have faith the world cup will be fun to watch
toxic yacht
it was fun last time, although a ton of matches were... yes
matches like USA vs Russia made up for the rest
anyway, if they do shit like sending in the entirety of Rogue the WC could as well fuck off and be even worse than last year
rapid oxide
i've faith in blizzard
just be patient
ik it's hard
but i prefere something perfect instead of rushed shit
well... hs esport is succesfull. hots isn't simply because LoL and Dota are too powerfull and the moba market is oversaturated, starcraft died because of mobas
wow is very hard to spectate if you don't know all the spells etc.. even more than overwatch

Munchkin is actually quite the fragger.

Starcraft is hard to watch if you dont play the game

TviQ and Reinforce were praising Munchkin
Like, Reinforce praised him during APEX S1
and according to Manneten Munchkin was singlehandedly winning his team maps
that's kinda funny, since Rogue thoroughly destroyed Rhinos during S1

Well I hope it works out for LS. I wanna say they scouted well, but it really came off of LH's scouting in the end.

The two things that kept me away from OW esport for so long were the Widow meta when she one shot everything and then the 50% discord meta with mercy boost on Mcre one headshotting everything a bit after zen ult speed bufff and such

then it was 50% discord meta
with super genji
and mccree

Yeh during the 50% meta originally people tried mcree with mercy boost and discord

Used to shit on a lot of things.
Then it was 8s Genji sword laughing at support ults meta.
The Pharah Mercy meta was only fun once for me and it was to see seagull and talespin.

I mean, genji was never too meta in the pro scene during that period
it was mostly rogue and ReU who were spamming genji

although they'd also be super nice for analysis
flame as an analyst and zp & hex for casting
does being a commitee member fuck you out of casting?

@supple nymph Claris left not wanting to deal with the LH fanbase pressure before LH could formally cut him, while Munchkin decided to leave even though LH was willing to let him join on the condition of apology letter
Blame East Asian idolism culture
And right after that Alicus snatched them
I mean it's a good thing for these Koreans who are willing to turn over a new leaf from their past gaming scandals but can't simply because of fan pressure
Because their idols need to be angels before, now, and forever
Pretty much a gold mine for western teams
Team synergy + mechanical superiority, I have faith in Rogue to do it
Roll LH over, at least
I mean

They rolled LH 4-1 with the old roster
In APEX S1
I don't see any reason they can't now
