TSM is too much focused on LoL they barely gave a fuck about the rest
yeah pretty much
Northern Gaming, at least in Overwatch is notorious for not paying their players, and also for sabotaging a player's career when he moved to another team by sharing an old tweet with that team.
and also for sabotaging a player's career when he moved to another team by sharing an old tweet with that team.
fucking lol
I dont see how anyone can think that's justifiable tbh
If it were any normal org CEO, they wouldnt have screenshotted something like that just so one of their former players would be kicked from their new team
Repost for people missing it https://twitter.com/ggHarsha/status/856989388755976193
Northern Gaming claiming they know things that will get them into the Overwatch League is laughable at best. What a joke of an organization.
Sodapoppin. Now grego
dellor should join they would get along
i just posted that ๐ฆ
And he weirdly disappear after that question xD
Popular streamer
o some wow guy
Yeah he's the streamer that ZP was talking about in that comment
what hero is that on @rapid oxide
What does it mean 
Took it from reddit
๐
Norecoil for free? 
why couldnt they make my boys ranged damage not be dick
like pls
bout to get the Golden blade over McCree feelsbad
McCree main ๐
nu
I feel that soldier nerf will make mcree get a lil boost on pickrates
barely
oh wait esports
right
i was just talking about it for ranked lul
still in the mindset
Yeah hopefully it will
I want more mccree
Same, soldier is boring

Indeed i said "lil"
Well yeah but the 1 less damage per shot is actually a big deal
You'd think it isnt because well
its 1 damage
I get it
But thats 1 more bullet for body and headshot
I know 5% damage isnt nothing
Brings his ttk up a lot
yeah a lil
Pharah will be picked even more now
fuck that shit man
2m on the height andshit
SERIOUS
still seems too much
I remember sniper McCree
lul wat
I can't predict who's going to be in the finals for a tournament that i dont even know the groups for lol
IDDQD visa got approved btw
Anyone who predicts the finals of a tournament they dont know the groups of is joking
Once the groups are out ill make a prediction
Gonna cheer for FaZe
NRG 3-0
25m seems alright @solid spear
yeah
only thing i wish was the enrfed soldiers sprint speed a bit
its too hard to cahse him down
hed get countered by winston if he was slightly slower
cuz Winston isnt good enough
he needs to counter more shit
I this change is more than fine
for 76
well

thats yummy
450 fth damage


I mean if hit kit is gonna be so much worse than 76
at least let the dude actually body people outside 2 feet
I mean idk how flash is so much worse
Decent cc
Also, CyberPowerPC saves the NA comp scene
the point is his whole kit is flash
But no hyper aggro Selfless or Rogue 
not as mobile, no sustain, worse ult, damage from range is trash
nrg has a chance
HAHAGAhhahaha
Lol
I wouldn't be confident they can even take the reddit tourney
I seriously think that they might have lost if they played in the last reddit tournament
Exxu could possible solo wipe them
Didnt watch the tourney sadly
theres vods
@tough summit wanna be nrg 6th? there's time
they can blame your ping when they lose too its a win win
I can see him carrying them with harb and iddqd ๐ค
then they play nepal and all watch in dismay as ajax numlocked and dummy go into the pit
Numlocked strats is that he charges in
Like this is legit what he does
It was his life for the past tournaments
Charges in, dies
that guy used to coach tempo storm
i like the prospects
NRG would have wiped us
NRG would have done to us what we did to the rest of the tourney
POLO PLS
Polo you are not sane 
Polo you overestimate nrg 
I am gonna have to ask you to sober up 
I honestly cant tell if you guys actually think we would have beat them or not
Baaam 
But im just going to guess you're joking
We talked about this Baaam 
I wish I was joking 
wait pls
This is how much I am disappointed in nrg 
they play so inconsistently if you caught them on a bad day sure why not?
cant compare losing to actual pro teams to some reddit teams lul
lolno
you had two extreme high skill dps players
you guys are wild
High skill on 1 hero
if you arent trolling
Aimer can play 76 but not on the level of his tracer
Nrg plays like second rate reddit meme teams 
Our hero pool is tiny and 1/3 of our team doesnt use comms
Am I DELUDED?
Who charges in and die every single push for a hole map
LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE TIME
LITERALLLLY
I need to sleep why do I even bother with nrg
exxu is rank #3 genji seagull is rank #194
thats ranked
wow amazing
the genji 1 trick is a higher ranked genji on overbuff than non-one trick genji
I bet you can rape nrg
yeah okay im gone
You see I was trolling because I thought it was obvious theyd never beat NRG
Who knows

I think they have a chance 
They just have to wait till numlocked charges in 
And he will charge in every time 
BAAAM being triggered and dissing on NRG and Rogue? What's new 
@balmy wolf u better stop trying to make sense
This is all actually a blessing in disguise, I'm actually not the most emotional and triggered person in the whole server
i mean nrg is something else lol
@clever wagon you still are in my heart bb
On May 3, 2016, Rogue was announced to the world. Now, one year later we are celebrating our anniversary. Thank you all for sticking with us through some ama...
@solid spear I'm flattered bb
โค
Seijass x Oreo confirmed?
:3

https://twitter.com/MonteCristo/status/859932641931309057 dat winky face ๐ค
Monte and doa are really the only things reassuring about OWL rn right? (aside from Blizzard's extreme confidence in it)
Monte and DoA ๐
Rogue on Friday yeee

isnt that next Friday?
i think someone did the supersaiyan version haha
rip
lul @ hulk http://i.imgur.com/oS1b9mK.png
lmao
hell be fine lol
im fairly sure he is
him and fischer are nuts on whatever they play
he probably is
fischer is so underrated 
i know :c
Theyre both wild on so much shit even though Ihavent seen Fischer since PIT ;_;
need to catch more small EU stuff
who's ready to see Hulk in the player's booth as a coach
i know i am
bring me all the tactical pauses!
Watching North (Tier 1) losing agaist Chiefs Esport (Tier 4) CSGO
reminds me that Blank Esport and Aussie scene could be underrated
amazing game
when chiefs lost that eco i thought it was gg
but then they eco'd them back
biggest upset in csgo this year haha
probably yeah
back to ow esport. want blank to play against na
maybe, like Chiefs, could upset tier 1 na team
5# worldwide team losing to 150# team lmao
Who?
well i guess im voting for Runner
neither do i. i just know him because koreans were pissed at him for the viewbotting
oh yes we're pissed all the time
if that was the joke, then woosh on my part ๐
oh wow
like an idiot i thought it was friday today
i was like why isn't ogn playing
Heh
in my defense its a national holiday tmrw so it felt like a friday
Kimchi 

๐ค

you don't need glasses to see his ridiculous arm movements
not my fault that you're blind then

Oooh
I thought he was having a seizure at first before realizing he was just following the winston jump arc
I'm surprised I can actually watch APEX at decent times lol
I have classes when apex is happening
kinda annoying
I can barely ever watch a full match
Maybe because it takes fucking forever with these shitty ads
I'm thinking about calling in sick tomorrow to watch the match live 
ROGUE PLS
I have classes when Carbon was running
Around the Watch too
Like pretty much only APEX I can watch live, and that's still cutting short the first match more or less
Where you from?
Oh damn
I usually can also watch the NA weekend matches live
Because they run on Sat/Sun mornings here lol
Wake up, fire up the PC as usual and open Twitch while I do morning chores
Pretty neat actually
That's how it was with CSGO for me
Tried to watch a major tourney match or smth
Like 12 AM upwards on a weekday like heck no lol
Not to mention at that point I couldn't really bother to catch up with CSGO strats n shit anymore and sleepiness would take over
Rip
Thankfully with Overwatch I can get hyped up because I do know how everything works, more or less
'least better than how much I know about CSGO
I'm just waiting on the Rogue matchup. This should be the first time they're in Korea this year.
And still undefeated
I won't say they definitely will dominate in APEX but I definitely am anticipating this new Rogue match up against the Koreans
Also, just saw Skyline's analysis of Rogue vs NV Gibraltar earlier
That's just 1 map but holy hell it's like Rogue was exposing everything NV still has to work for as a team
btw Blank is on the verge of beating Envy's winstreak
Well
"On the verge"
11 wins away
What's more, it was against Rogue's usual dive that they've shown a fuck ton of times since they started their comeback
Not anything completely new that you'd think would take everybody by surprise
Oh yea rogue definitely has watchpoint gib. Down to a science. The high ground dive is so unique I'll be interested to see the work around that.
does all the world cup voting end at the same time?
No idea
I'm non-US
err 14 hours 11 minutes
But I'm a plebeian from a plebeian country who mostly only knows doto and cs
poor pleb
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Oh and was beaten by Thailand in the qualifiers in 2016
Snap totally forgot that came out today
Immortals was invited to APEX 
Ye
Missed everything. Stayed up till 6am watching a guilty gear jp tourney. Time to catch the vods....hope Rogue doesn't let me down ๐
wat
Rogue played earlier rite
No lol
No
@DMcSullivan IMT are not in APEX S3
Tf
Thats tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Praise be ๐
@devout cipher I know they aren't there. I said they were invited
Where did you hear the news? I'mโ curious why they would be invited.
"Why"? They're one of the younger top NA's now...?
theScore Esports Podcast ep 13
With Verbo as guest
He said they were invited but they declined
Yeah
Feelsbad
He said they couldn't commit to 3 months in Korea because of school and age and stuff
Still, not really hard to figure out why they were invited
They've been making plays in the higher tier NA scene (OMMs, Carbon) for a bit longer than Selfless, even though Selfless stands higher than Immortals now
Also the Overwatch Winter Premier
They're a great a team.
Just surprised that they didn't just go NV and Rogue
Which they did
NV was a S2 participant
Makes sense for OGN to not invite them again as their priority pick
Esp for not finishing in the top 3
So Rogue and who else were NA invites?
Can't remember
Just Rogue and Envy
Yeah but, who was invited? 
Before NV

NRG 
Is that for real though

Wasn't NRG invitation just a rumor
Afaik yeah, rumor
hence 
If you're blind sure
Maybe they're really good against Koreans but suck in the West 

Dafuq









The worst thonk emoticon is ๐ค
What a n o r m i e
O shit 

Wait a minute

No, he's a nitro scrub
Aaa yeah that's also possible
How much times will pass before 2easy will get benched

Bets are open
F i l t h y Nitro users
2 months
I give him 2 matches
I say
1 month
Wait what is this, is 2ez playing for a team rn?
Tempo
Do you live under a rock or something?
Being a benched boy might have become his fate since
He has a kid right?
Does he?
"son, stop play videogame" "are you fo real dad

Vace making dad jokes
Im a normie, brb gonna kms
๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ
I was about to say
Had you been a f i l t h y Nitro, you coulda used any emojis anywhere

Gotta love Dafran's smurf name
X69X420X69XD?
oh shit dafran is #1 now
Both his accounts are top 10
and spree back in top 10
Since like ytd
both of his accounts have been top 10 for weeks
No
Well i mean i dont actively check the leaderboards or watch his stream, but they have both been consistently top 10 for weeks
I'm picturing an org just looking at the ladder for potential acquisition and then reading that name
"S76 ult is actually not that useful for Dafran since he can't get headshots"
not that it happens like that anyway
"I'm gold and Dafran is top 10 but that's just because he plays a lot"
Dang what a burn.
It's a meme in Dafran's chat
Who's Graceful?
He was top 1 right before Dafran took it recently
Plays for splyce
Oh
Silkthread's busy with his 10 GPA 
Primarily a streamer
Life's so easy when you don't need to worry about decay 
I ask who Graceful is, go to Twitter and literally the first thing I see is a tweet from Kryw that mentions him in
(Tanked 300 SR from Diamond kms
)
what you guys think about b1rd?
git gud
git
top 100?
German Top 100 for sure
Get voted in by your committee by climbing the ladder I guess.
what ladder
saw it
I got up 1.1k SR in 3 Weeks
If you're only Diamond you're not getting on the WC sorry to say
Country Leaderboard for example?
Yeah you have to be GM I'd say. Germany have a lot of strong players.
I only know three, one of them decayed to Diamond (I have few more SR than him right now lol) and one of them is in the commitee

still looking for a leaderboard, where can I find that?
and a general?
The bait is strong with this one
The EU top 500 is the general ๐
Make it 4 strong german players I know now, I forgot TerenZ. Met him at our eSports Bar
Called the bait before
what bait
Well, why would that not be possible regionally?
@rapid oxide don't interfere, this is most entertaining
Also, I am still going up. Not stopping
maybe somewhere like ireland where there's 10 players in total
sorry man, look forward to see you at world cup
hope i never meet you in ladder, im too scared to face you
I would have to know your name
guess it haha
1v1 inc 
๐
i would get rekt, im nowhere a good player
i hit master, but im diamond too now
ripperino
decay?
thank you

he had to #esport-discussion match one day
3v3 or 6v6 for fun
quick demonstration of the new PTR changes on Genji. You can now cancel the animation of Genji's sword slash by wallclimbing.
Sweet baby Jesus what the fuck
This shit better gets fixed before the patch hits live
pls fix blizz
lol, this is hilarious
god bless PTR
tfw people were trying to tell me that this isn't big when the patch rolled out yesterday
pls
blizz, pls fix
owl or genji fix choose one
it's likely getting nerfed, genji is pretty strong atm and blizzard doesn't like unintended and unintuitive shit like that at all
also, it's kinda broken
genji is in a really good place now, we don't need him even stronger
and I'm saying this as a genji main
Thank god we have Baaam, the #1 qp Genji 

this will make his movement during blades a little more predictable at least
i mean the dps is nuts
but hook or sleep becomes a little easier
๐
Makes sense
if you know that he'll jump towards the wall you can mess with him easier, yee
But he can fucking do insane damage if not dealt with before he starts killing
I still think that it's not worth the increased dps though
but what would I know, lul
I'd trust your opinion more than mine
The thing is that it's optional
You wont be always sure that he is gonna go to a wall
yee, you're not really sure about whether he'd do that
it could lead to pretty cool baits etc, although turning away from your target is kinda risky
They come back from Korea in two weeks! Then have a tournament ๐ https://t.co/kQi72iqctP
Kinda confirm eUnited for TakeOver TV
๐
eUnited vs Rogue, hopefully
still kinda sad that selfless won't be going though
fuck na
I mean, it's 3 NA teams
I'd also prefer pure EU because the teams need more exposure but if they're already inviting multiple NA teams
I'd at least want to see selfless
fucking mercybot
I'm guessing that c9 and IMT would go (maybe nV if the schedule works for them?)
they may
iirc the timing works out for them
but dunno how tired they're gonna be
when are the playoffs starting?
itd have to be like
for apex
between groups and playoffs
like, taketv is 1-4 june
pls no
:D
they have time
I need them to win Apex for Baaam
right after the lunatic hai game
๐
theyre gonna be tired af but hey I respect the grind
it'll also work out for nV
if they got invited
although they only get 1 day of rest
like, 30th is their match
then they'd fly and arrive on the 30th/31st because timezones, although that depends on how fast they fly after the match
and then they'd have a few hours or a day of rest
lul
yeah, dunno if they really want to go through that
TakeOver is waht 50k?
yee
Winz can't tweet at LAN

@dmcsullivan_ The booth is actually a Faraday Cage specifically designed to keep @Rogue_winz from tweeting.

We all love Dummy.. but how much to we really know about the guy? We are determined to find out what makes this guy tick with a rapid fire round of This or T...

hmm,how many hours till next apex match?

does anyone have a link to some sort of table or whatever with timings of pro games
i wanna watch some more

/r/immortalsgg is hosting an AMA by the founder Noah, you can ask about OWL, OW and tips on how to start an esport org
Hi Reddit! Weโve got our fearless leader, Noah Whinston /u/IMT_Whinston here, CEO of Immortals and...
rogue vs mighty aod lol
A dude on redditt be like "PUBG is getting 170k, is going better than overwatch esport" without Summit and lirik it will be 20 lol
i dont understand how hearthstone can have double the players and significantly more viewers than OW
their community is extremely vocal about how much they hate the game and blizz
@rapid oxide posted my question - best i could think of
PRobably because it became more of a social setting on twitch than just about the game and memes related to the game.
A lot of streamers like soda and reckful play it when bored and a lot of streamer play it just to chat.
It kinda was the original "IRL" streaming tag in a way
community hate means nothing - i have never seen a game fail because of "hate"
case in point: infinite warfare, which outsold battlefield 1 even though the former had over 3 mil dislikes on YT and the latter had 2 million likes
also for every "hate" comment you see, their are tens of thousands of players who like the game
COD is a perfect example of a loud minority, millions of people continue to buy that game every year despite the overall perception being extremely negative year after year
and most people watch hearthstone streams for the personality - people like trumpsc, reynad, disguised toast have nothing to do with blizzard;s decisions
I don't even play HS anymore and I still watch Trump's videos
has he grown to regret his name
i wonder what the percentage of ranked players is for overwatch
im pretty sure its lower than other games like hearthstone - which also affects twitch viewers
won't even be close
Nrg will win 
in a world...
Ma boi numlocked with his strats 
Charges in with a bubble and team wipes the other team 
Best strat 2017
Lol
I think ajax and numlocked will carry nrg 
Dummy might carry too but he is inconsistent 
Harb, iddqd and the 6th dps are scrubs dude. Numlcokdd always carries them 
Cause it's the law 
Chill with the emotes pls
Lul
It's emote spam
I am not doing this "๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐๐ป
You just did
But ok I guess
its not a big deal you just dont have to use an emote at the end of every sentence if not neccessary is all
This emote makes me feel cool though ๐
oh
Draw pls
Yeah pinging a mod with exactly what I said not to do is not the greatest idea
it happens

Don't let it happen again

@forest raven you gonna be up for Apex tonight this time?
Rogue is gonna be interesting
It's at 8pm for me lol
what does the hammer mean
I hope rogue dies
rip
Whut
i think its six for me too
2 hours behind?
Is that you Gank @clever wagon
Yes

Winz could probably use everything BAAAM said in this channel about Rogue
Have a field day
Or probably not, he won't give a shit
Wait so is Noah Whiston doing his AMA or not?
he said he would start answering at six
actually wait nvm

hopefully the first game is quick
I don't see how X6 can win

Kongdoo uniforms back at it again 
x6 has the ability and the exact group to perform upsets
but only time will tell
I'd say Uncia will take it 3-2, then Rogue 3-0 possibly 3-1 but I doubt AOD will get a map
is it gonna be a reverse sweep though
When you could get home on time but Windows decided to shit on you by installing a major update

Cant wait to see ma bois on rogue
Lol
so if OWL will kill all the smaller tournament,and if somehow OWL fails,what would happen?
OW esports die forever
Why did OWL kill all tournaments?
kinda nervous here,i heard blizzard screwed up SC2 competitive scene
I heard blizzs is a shit company when it comes to esport
Well I mean there's the CyberPowerPC tourney with ZP Hex this weekend
will there be any other tournaments when OWL starts though
,i heard blizzard screwed up SC2 competitive scene
I thought matchfixing killed SC2
i think more accessible games killed sc2
wasnt it the fact that just RTS as genre died
well yes that too ๐
which sucks tbh, i love playing single player rts
sc2 was expensive and you had to buy all the expansions
while league and dota2 are free
in sc2 ranked iirc you can get cheesed every game
so before you could get anywhere you had to memorize every counter cheese
something like that
Decay with some epic dashes
well,i'm just concerned that blizzard failed with sc2
and if OWL fail,this could be very very very bad
That delay wow
i know its a stupid reason,but i want to cheer for european teams, which won't exisdt in OWL, for now at least
well
lol,that mirror self-destruct
so there will be only OWL and OGN for overwatch tournaments?
and OPC
no idea honestly, but it seems that blizz tries to make it like this
TakeOver 2 is happening in June, maybe they'll have more. ๐
why not just copy valve tournament models with dota2 ,lel

there's a tldr
RTS as genre is dead as FPS Arena, Moba had the boom and people moved on mobas
easy
Dang
balance... cmon... csgo is broken on balance but it's famous
LOL 3-1
I didnt expect Uncia to fall like this
not like this
Uncia and Panthera
Both
Black and White sailor suits
lmao
They are so cute
Wtf uncia got fucked by this no name team?
They had it reversed last season, they did better than this
This ain't a fuckin "no name team"
runaway have great uniforms and they failed too
They did good in Challengers and Superweek
Really?
coincidence? i think not
Not sure you can call being a runner up as an amateur team "failed"
X6 came out on top during Superweek and Challengers
Apparently they looked shaky though
I didnt watch it all
Isnt superweek and challengers for 2nd rate teams?
Runaway came from challengers...
I am not very familiar with apex 
Same with Meta Athena
I just know 5-6 teams
They didn't win
Runaway is dead ๐
That's why "failed"
They came all the way from Challengers as an amateur team, no team house or anything
And they went to finals
like come on
thts hardly a failure
That's a big fuckin' feat
Unlike rogue ๐ค

We know you fuckin' hate Rogue
That's not what you call amateur
Wait selfless is an actual org?
