Nope, #2 and #3

His smurf is 2 and his main #3

At the moment that is

Also, his stream is now a motivational speech

Polo was Lucio

So how'd mem radit do?

balmy wolf
#

We dropped 1 round

dusty surge
#

It's double elim this year, right?

clever wagon
#

SoOn shaved

#

No more SoOn beard

toxic yacht
#

no more soon beard? :(

clever wagon
#

Sadly no

#

Check his stream

rapid oxide
#

but it's a mix of sr or a min sr is required?

clever wagon
#

Poor boys, not having a good time duo q-ing in KR

#

Leavers in 2 consecutive games

rapid oxide
#

btw watching dota major... prod quality is very high, hope we see smth like this on ow too

#

"ow is hard to spectate" you dont understand a single fuck in a 5v5 holy shit

#

you just see flashy shit on the scream and you barely understand who's gonna win

clever wagon
#

That statement is starting to sound like a fallacy

#

Any game you're not familiar with isn't going to be that easy to watch

rapid oxide
#

csgo or fighting game are easy to spectate

#

and understand

clever wagon
#

Well, those 2 probably

#

I meant DotA which was mentioned here

rapid oxide
#

i hate people that are like "moba are easy to understand"

#

because it's not true

#

as you said

toxic yacht
#

lol, they're just used to moba

#

as someone who never touched moba before the nexus challenge (well, 20 minutes of DOTA)

#

I have no fucking clue what I see when looking at LoL/Dota

#

Everyone is like "WHOAAA, MADLIFE"

#

and I'm just like

#

k

rapid oxide
#

bkb tp gank ?!? kaplanwhat

toxic yacht
#

he clicked someothing, and then the thing happened

rapid oxide
#

i watch now dota because it's entertaining the flashy things and someone die, the crowd etc...

#

but it's hard to spectate

toxic yacht
#

lmao, yes

#

moba are just a colourful mess

#

which is why I find the "OW is hard to spectate" argument so fucking retarded

#

I mean, if a CS player says it, I get it

rapid oxide
#

same goes for sc2

#

people "sc2 is easy to understand"

#

no it's not

toxic yacht
#

CS spectating has been a thing for over 15 years now and people already know what to look for, and the game is just easy to understand

#

but when a Moba player says that, fuckin lol

rapid oxide
#

csgo is so slow and the concept is easier than mobas

#

plant, defuse, pew pew

toxic yacht
#

yee, pretty much that

rapid oxide
#

moba, buy, last hit, gank, flank, roshan, lane, jungle

toxic yacht
#

SC2 is probably also only easy if you have RTS experience + know what unit does what

clever wagon
#

It's only DotA that's that complicated isn't it

toxic yacht
#

if not it just looks like a bunch of models moving around

rapid oxide
#

there's too much stuff going on in a rts that's difficult to track

toxic yacht
#

dota is complicated as shit, yes

clever wagon
#

With all the bullshit about builds, items, n fuck all

rapid oxide
#

dota is more complicated than lol

clever wagon
#

OW is hard to spectate mainly because either it's a very fast paced FPS, no proper spectate system in place yet, or well... your visual capabilities can't keep up with FPS in general, let alone overwatch

#

And the last one is pretty prevalent among people I know that only plays doto for 2000+ hours

rapid oxide
#

it's hard to spectate because the spectator mode is trash

toxic yacht
#

also, bad spectators

#

are a thing

#

looks at Rivalcade

clever wagon
#

Yeah, but those can improve over time

balmy wolf
#

Rivalcade was best tourney

rapid oxide
#

my wishlist: Minimap, blue/red skin for heroes, ult advantage

balmy wolf
#

Because of outside reasons

#

lul

clever wagon
#

You can't change the complicated game like what Dota has and that's not a spectate system issue

#

If we're talking about newbies to respective games

rapid oxide
#

im not sure but...

clever wagon
#

There are 2 different Rivalcades

rapid oxide
#

people are like "replay system1!11!!" but all the replays on dota major are like the one of overwatch

clever wagon
#

The smaller one and Rumble

#

Rumble was pretty much a major online compared to the usual Rivalcade

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

toxic yacht
#

rumble also had shit spectating though

rapid oxide
#

that tournaments need Some seriOus castErs

clever wagon
#

What

toxic yacht
#

#

i think uber and kap are confirmed

#

kinda

toxic yacht
#

uber wasn't confirmed, but he said that it's very likely

balmy wolf
#

No tourney is going to need a host unless its a lan

toxic yacht
#

it's a LAN though

rapid oxide
#

well, take over is a lan

toxic yacht

balmy wolf
#

It is?

toxic yacht

as sojum said time ago

#

i prefered 100% eu lan for once

#

cuz eu had no lan since dreamhack

balmy wolf
#

I know whos in it

toxic yacht
#

I mean, it's 5 EU and 3 NA, so that's something, but yes, I'd love an EU only LAN

balmy wolf
#

and what the prizepool is

#

I just didnt know it was lan

what were we discussing? ah, yes, that about 20% percent of OW pros cheat and a significant portion takes ADD/ADHD medication.

nimble bobcat
#

well, exxu, esports is different from competitive sports

#

so its not surprising taimou is bad in comp but good in esport

#

;>>>

#

no, thats not what i said @serene spoke

tough summit
#

Yes, but I wonder if Taimou, the esports player has ADHD.

nimble bobcat
#

about 20% percent of ow tier1 pro WERE banned in previous games

ah, sorry

Announcing our May Monthly Melee - May 19th, 20th, and 21st

For the May Monthly Melee we are again hosting a qualifier for two main-event spots. To cut down on some of the chaos experienced last month, we're reducing the total teams qualifying to 8 from 16.

I hope to have invites out sometime next week. As soon as I get all invite teams confirmed, I will be doing qualifier invites. Keep an eye on Discord for more announcements.

Word has gotten around 👀 that the Monthly Melee will be cancelled after this month. These rumors are unfortunately true, and this will be our last event for the foreseeable future. I don't want to guarantee that there won't be another Monthly Melee after this month, but we're not planning events for June, July, or onward at this time.

Thank you for all of your hard work helping us make the Monthly Melee a great success for Curse and our friends Alienware, it's been wonderful to be a part of. As always, if you have questions please feel free to send me a message.

5 mins break should be enough

I don't mind it being shit for us because we get better games if they are well prepared and not exhausted

And all the group stages are live around the world, aren't they?

With a shit ton of ads?

then some other groups were on some german channel because they couldn't broadcast all games

iir all games are broadcasted

it's just that some are on big channels with good casters

spring lintel

I hope they broadcast the insane teams

Looking for people for a team myself and a couple others are setting up

I am tired and forgot about that XD

@spring lintel Friendly reminder that Rogue is unlikely to lose by a stomp even against Koreans

I hope Rogue beats LH

#

are western teams in sk immune to ridiculous scandals they do on their own teams?

digital pond
#

They're much better at PR mainly.

#

And orgs usually will drop people causing drama even if it hurts them before hand and avoid the drama.

#

The viewership at large due to the community and society there is much harsher on people doing shitty stuff.

wintry matrix
#

If NA had the same idol culture that KR has, maybe it would be the same

digital pond
#

Maybe, NA players would also be making a lot more money and Esports would be officially counted as a non silly carreer.

solid spear
#

Idk people who consider a silly career now are just dumb/uninformed imo

supple nymph
#

well it is high risk low reward

#

it takes exceptional people with more skills than just being good at a game to make it a career

#

rather than just doing it a few years then getting a normal career

#

also,

#

😦

solid spear
#

I mean

#

Thats the same with real sports

#

Even if for the biggest ones the money us higher

digital pond
#

well in comparison to SK it's considered sillier in the West at least.

#

But ti's deifnitely got better in the last few years

supple nymph
#

so

#

are there really no more online events

#

just asian stuff?

digital pond
#

Seems so right now.

supple nymph
#

how come asia can do whatever

wintry matrix
#

Their public is probably bigger

digital pond
#

More people more viewers and it's easier for them to coordinate LANs or at least they throw more at it. A lot of Asian country have the minister of education and youth involved in esport since it's such a central part of their society.

#

Some have intervened even to help players get visas like in Dota 2.

#

It's much more engrained in their society and common. Making it yield more money I assume.

solid spear
#

they simply take it more seriously so like Anem said its more engrained in their culture probably the fact that traditional sports are much bigger in the west than Korea which makes it harder for esports to get general recognition

clever wagon
#

"More people more viewers and it's easier for them to coordinate LANs or at least they throw more at it. A lot of Asian country have the minister of education and youth involved in esport since it's such a central part of their society."

they should be in the next one

Rogue and Kimchi

Spiciest drama, literally

Kimchi > Baguette

#

Korea esports is full of fucking sjw

#

It's so anyoung

#

annoying*

solid spear

theyre actually so ridicuous over there I didnt see the original tweet but if its along the lines of kimchi is gross so what

#

(kimchi is gross btw I hate that stuff)

pine star
#

I don't even know what it is lol

#

But if it's spicy I may just like it

#

I like my food just like my esports drama

#

Spicy FeelsSmugMan

I mean I ate in Japan so it might have been weird imported kimchi but it was gross

#

but uh yeah esports

pine star
supple nymph
clever wagon
#

Unkoe tweeted "disgusting" but it was meant to be a joke between Rogue boys and TviQ whom they said likes and ate a fuckton of Kimchi back in APEX S1 days

pine star
#

And korean fans got triggered

#

LMFAO

#

Now I want them to win the whole thing just to piss off the korean fangrills

clever wagon
#

I mean yeah they kinda deserve feeling bad over this but really

#

As I've always said

#

With most East Asian cases it's not really sjw's as much as it is idolism

pine star
#

I have another word for it

#

Total and absolute BULLSHIT

clever wagon
#

They want their stars to be pure

#

Sinless, pure, innocent virgins

#

Basically

digital pond
#

"I'm a piece of shit but at least my favorite 15 years old is pure"

pine star
#

Pretty much

#

I mean

#

Is kinda cool OW players get this superstar status over in Korea but

#

Yeah

#

Superstars always have stupid fans

digital pond
#

Esport players in general in Korea

#

Not limited to OW really

pine star
#

Yeah I know

supple nymph
#

seagull has smart fans

clever wagon
#

Idols in East Asia

pine star
#

I'm just speaking for OW

wintry matrix
#

@supple nymph the first world that comes to mind is weird, i don't even think of them as bad, like, even ID was having problems, but most of all, jus the way they played

digital pond
#

Seagull has a lot of fans stupid and smart.

supple nymph
#

mostly smart

digital pond
#

I would disagree but everyone experiences it differently.

supple nymph
#

i would disagree too

wintry matrix
#

it just dependes on your luck

digital pond
#

Well he has a lot of fan

#

He's bound to have more smart fans than other people with less fans.

wintry matrix
#

my first 100 levels in OW was pure fun, no bs at all

clever wagon
#

There are really enough cases of it in Japan and Korea as the modern East asian countries that you can almost generalize it like that

digital pond
#

But I wouldn't say mostly.

supple nymph
#

75%

#

the rest are of above average intelligence

wintry matrix
#

If they aren't moon spammers they're already above average

clever wagon

"I'm gold and Dafran is top 500 but it really is just because he plays a lot more"

Or something along the lines

Rip. OW league and no info killing motivation spreeBaby

Rip ow esport

Was great but died too early

If omm isnt a thing there are no tournaments anymore

What can teams do now?

Chill for 3 months till ow league is close?

Blizz out here trying to annihilate the scene

Fuck blizz they are killing the game

Am I supposed to watch these long ass apex matches now?

With 15 mins ads break

velvet scarab
#

What's the point of blizz doing this

spring lintel
#

They saw NRG get fucked and wanted to help them

Give them an extra 3 months for scrims

So we cant have fun watching them

Overwatch esport is not dead

fucking stop it

digital pond

PANIC IT'S DEAD

#

MOVE TO HEARTHSTONE ESPORT

rapid oxide
#

you could say it if owl is not succesful

#

is not even started

#

the true esport side

digital pond
#

It's less that it's dead but it's dissapointting because the closer we get to the end of the year the elss tournaments i expect.

#

Unless we get more OWL infos.

rapid oxide
#

because all the big title had tons and tons of tournament at the beginning right?

digital pond
#

I'm re reading my sentences to see where I said that.

rapid oxide
#

talking generally

digital pond
#

That wasn't really my point though.

#

Stating dissapointment in having less tournament has nothing to do with me saying it won't work out.

#

Monthly melee was fun and good to have in the mean time of the OWL limbo.

rapid oxide
#

the reason is unknown

digital pond
#

I didn't cite a reason though.

rapid oxide
#

of why mm isnt going next month

digital pond
#

I'm saying it's just dissapointting to see less as it was good to have in the mean time.

rapid oxide
#

could be for other reason

#

not because Blizzard is evil

digital pond
#

Idc about the reason.

solid spear
#

ITS DEAD

That's not even what I'm talking about.

IGNORE MIUKI ITS DEAD

i moved away from it

solid spear
#

Jesus is coo yeah

rapid oxide
#

im talking about other stuff

digital pond
#

Right.

spring lintel
#

They should have kept tournaments alive till the day OwL is out

#

This is killing it

#

Like I am now going to stop watching esport because there are not tournaments

#

Maybe I will forget about OWL all together

rapid oxide
#

No one know the reason. Could be lack of sponsors, could be that Blizzard is giving the license at one tournament at time and we (maybe) get a tournament for a whole month, we can expect OWL news... who knows...

never with a pharah before I don't think

so stupid

#

pharah wont ever be healed

delicate sparrow
#

I don't think it was a completely awful idea but it should have just been 1 push and then a swap if it didn't work

if you play super aggro and can wipe on the first push heals don't really matter. it's more of a gamble tho

I'm honestly fine with the sae and nano

janus is more of a rein iirc

Neither of these teams look good

So little follow up to a lot of those EMP's

pine is looking super inconsistent tbh

Pine's soldier hasn't been the most impressive

Missing a lot of easy shots

delicate sparrow

it feels like some fights he'll kill everything but other fights he can't hit a winston

his ults have been really bad too
