Sojum is the polo whisperer

By that I mean he has all the screenshots

[vestal mortar]

👀

[toxic yacht]

he played cree, genji, junkrat, mei and 76

during dreamhack

maybe something else that I missed

[balmy wolf]

I honestly dont even remember if i watched DH

[toxic yacht]

his mei at the ow open was arguably the best

[digital pond]

Esport History only starts when NRG current roster was made

[toxic yacht]

I remember you telling me that you didn't watch it

[balmy wolf]

yeah then i probably didnt

because i dont remember any matches

lol

[toxic yacht]

he also played reaper, but reaper is dead

[balmy wolf]

http://i.imgur.com/VHqQfgU.png

Yeah

I didnt watch this

definitely

lol

[digital pond]

Yeah lot of people played reaper

[balmy wolf]

I remember his other heroes

[digital pond]

Back when he could actually do stuff

[toxic yacht]

yeah, cooller was their lucio

[balmy wolf]

Was just wondering if he played 76

[toxic yacht]

yeah, he was the soldier bot during dreamhack

[balmy wolf]

Because if you sent misfits + idd

you would replace nevix with idd

realistically

[toxic yacht]

because SoOn was too busy showing off his tracer

like, all of this SOON BEST TRACER shit started right after dreamhack

because SoOn was basically tracer 24/7

[balmy wolf]

I miss SoOn on any other hero

I miss a lot of people playing a lot of heroes

[toxic yacht]

lul, he's a tracerbot now

just like how IDDQD became a 76 bot

same with aKm

[pine star]

I don't mind SoOn all the time on Tracer tbh

[balmy wolf]

i feel like i havent seen aKm's cree in years

[toxic yacht]

at least tracer is more interesting to watch

yeah, lul

he pulled out his cree like, once or twice

[balmy wolf]

It just wouldnt feel the same if he pulled it out now

no Mystery Man

:c

[toxic yacht]

:(

[balmy wolf]

I wonder if Winghaven found a new team.

[balmy wolf]

He's on the Spanish committee

[digital pond]

That's kewl. I wondered if Dhak was gonna make that committee

[balmy wolf]

He's on the team for sure

[toxic yacht]

he's a good tank :(

[balmy wolf]

I'd say the whole committee is on the team actually

[toxic yacht]

for some reason he hasn't been working outside of ReUnited though

which sucks

[digital pond]

Oh I meant more like outside of WC team wise

Since bench boys benched him

[balmy wolf]

ye i know

just wanted to mention it

Team spain is actually pretty stacked

Too bad they wont do as good as Sweden and France so they cant do anything

[digital pond]

If Misfit didn't exist I would wanna see Dafran there

[toxic yacht]

dafran?

he's danish

[balmy wolf]

He's from denmark tho

lol

[serene spoke]

[digital pond]

Shush you

Its not france I don't have to learn it.

[balmy wolf]

wut @serene spoke

[solid spear]

I miss McCree

[digital pond]

Cree is prop gonna see more play if soldier changes come through

Since Pharah will be a tad bit stronger.

[solid spear]

Soldier still better stay woke

[toxic yacht]

Cree is already seeing play if you stop watching NA

lul

[digital pond]

Well I mean

In general

[solid spear]

I dont only watch NA

So like

[digital pond]

Not just Korea doing whatever they want

[toxic yacht]

[balmy wolf]

[toxic yacht]

I instantly see Cree

[balmy wolf]

[toxic yacht]

[balmy wolf]

[digital pond]

I wanna see NA players play more mccree

[toxic yacht]

[pine star]

A N G E R Y

[balmy wolf]

[digital pond]

idc if Korea does it Korea does everything

[solid spear]

You're acting like I dont watch that stuff idv

[digital pond]

They could run 6 tanks and win and I wouldn't be surprised

[toxic yacht]

I mean, there is a LOT of Cree in apex

[solid spear]

Im trying to watcj Akm, and Idd and Taimou and all these boys go back

[toxic yacht]

you wouldn't even think that he's underrepresented

if you watch it

[balmy wolf]

The only cree i like watching in Apex is Taimou and Saya

[solid spear]

Idc bout Koreans

Blizzard has formed "a dedicated division within the company that will handle management, operation, sales, and distribution for Overwatch esports programs, including the Overwatch League and Overwatch World Cup. The division will be integrated into Major League Gaming, and retain its name.

http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/news/?d=2017-5#92030

[serene spoke]

sections 10.1 and 10.2 are copies of each other. 10.1 (Group Stage Prizing) says that every player is responsible for his own travel visa, if hes qualified for the Tournament Finals.

[digital pond]

And search through or put the effort generally.

[pine star]

That and dota can view games in client

[fleet idol]

wtf ster and jason kaplan for USA committee?

[digital pond]

I was more surprised by Jason than Ster

Haven't seen much of Jason in general lately

[pine star]

It will also operate the MLG-branded media network, which will broadcast both Blizzard and Activision esports content as well as...

[solid spear]

What if they increase McCree damage to 100 would my dads use him

[digital pond]

Your Dad would get headshot on my Selly.

Or is selly your dad

[fleet idol]

didn't everyone assume it would be run by mlg?

i mean why else would they have bought them out

[digital pond]

I think the assumption was that streams would be on different outlets

[kindred kiln]

at 100 dmg even i will play mcree

[digital pond]

The way LCS did it

[pine star]

Yeah I know

[digital pond]

MLG website doesn't have Twich emotes

[toxic yacht]

including me

[kindred kiln]

[solid spear]

[kindred kiln]

[solid spear]

Would've gotten Keph

[digital pond]

where did you get the roster info

[solid spear]

Yeah but Agilities takes Hog anyway at least

[balmy wolf]

[digital pond]

Was Chance a player before coaching IMT?

[balmy wolf]

i asked him

[solid spear]

Yes

[short vault]

cool

[digital pond]

Aaah didn't know

[balmy wolf]

yeah

he was on the classic TSM

Team Solo Mitt

[digital pond]

Gotcha

[solid spear]

Was on ahem NG at first

[balmy wolf]

Well azk can hog thats for sure

and he can also zarya but shadder's better so he doesnt

[solid spear]

ID is another flex option

[toxic yacht]

yeah, I still think that train is safer because meta shifts

[balmy wolf]

ehh

[toxic yacht]

in the current meta I'd take azk 100%

[balmy wolf]

i dont think the meta will shift from dive

[solid spear]

Never know

[toxic yacht]

we were literally running 4 tanks a 4 months back

a lot can change in the next 7

[balmy wolf]

I still doubt Dive will go

the Tank meta went fairly quickly because it was a very limited meta

Dive has wayy more options

[toxic yacht]

eh, who knows how blizzard will fuck up the balance with I have no idea wtf in the future

[balmy wolf]

They would have to change like 3 heroes to kill dive

[toxic yacht]

we went through all kinds of weird shit in the 1 year the game has been out

[solid spear]

You never know that though a certain non dive heros could be buffed to the point that theyre worth running over dive, new hero could screw things up who knows

[toxic yacht]

7 months are a lot of time

to screw things up

[solid spear]

Point is its a while away

[balmy wolf]

Yeah well azk is still proficient at off tanks so its not like it really matters

picking him secures a spot for them in groups

and then if the meta does change he can just play off tanks

[toxic yacht]

yeah, he's french though

[balmy wolf]

[solid spear]

Idk everyone kinda universally agrees on Agilities, Tisumi and Roolf at least

[balmy wolf]

[solid spear]

Well if more teams do this all ill say is theres gonna be a shit ton of available talent

[supple nymph]

if they have to wait 6 years for OWL to start up wont they just move on to other stuff?

they arent gonna wait on blizz who are completely unreliable about everything

[short vault]

this is why orisa is garbage

with her big ass lollipop lookin head

PINGPINGPINGPING

"thicc head"

[supple nymph]

all these orgs and players and tournaments committ to getting the scene going for a year

[pine star]

Oh shit

[supple nymph]

then blizzard just comes and takes a shit on their chest

[pine star]

Just saw the Splyce video

Rip

[balmy wolf]

Hydration is US apparently

[pine star]

This game is DED I tell ya

DED

[solid spear]

He is

Hell probably be there with Seagull, Jake, Talespin etc in that proj dps flex discussion

[digital pond]

That's so dissapointting

[pine star]

Which other org could drop stuff like this?

[solid spear]

Unless he's Brazil

I mean

[supple nymph]

isnt brazil poor

how do they still have a team

[digital pond]

Frankly it just feels like Orgs are just prepping for OWL.

Either saving money or thinking they'll get out priced

Cause if IRL sport teams invested chances are they can put more money on the table than Esport orgs can

[balmy wolf]

Hydration is from Brazil but has a dual citizenship

[supple nymph]

OWL might not be here for 6 months what would they do in the mean time?

[balmy wolf]

and apparently voted for US committee

[digital pond]

At least NA sport teams

[balmy wolf]

so he's probably a US player

[digital pond]

Idk Ford.

Make money off other titles?

[solid spear]

Idk we all kinda expect LG Loyal to fall apart, look at teams like Rise nation idk if theyll have money I wouldnt be surprised if they get dropped soon

[balmy wolf]

Also apparently Liquid might be dropping ow

[digital pond]

Not put money into a game they don't make as much in

[solid spear]

Liquid damn

[digital pond]

Save that money and make money from what they had pre OW

[supple nymph]

if blizz wanted to do this they needed to have it out way before now

or at least now...

[digital pond]

At the end of the day the lack of tournament and stuff as he cited is probably big in a reason for drops as well as performances.

[balmy wolf]

Man I really dont want liquid to drop ow

Their team has so much potential rn

[digital pond]

Why would the org support a squad outfit them and make less money than dropping them

And then just buy in later and get players.

Cheaper on them that way

Now if they get out priced it's another whole thing.

[rapid oxide]

I don't mind "small" orgs getting dropped if they are going to get filled by bigger org

[digital pond]

Well the thing is I want orgs to work with people buying out like the dolphins

So that Orgs with experience in the scene stick around

And work hand in hand with people with no experience

[balmy wolf]

I dont really mind if Liquid drops ow and then the roster gets picked up right away

[rapid oxide]

Splyce is smaller than tsm or col

[balmy wolf]

Im just scared of the roster scattering

[digital pond]

It is, but it's bigger than selfless

[balmy wolf]

or maybe even some quitting ow for QC

:c

[digital pond]

Either way

I rather people with experience work with investors

[rapid oxide]

Selfless is barely an org lol

[digital pond]

Idc if it's not under the name Splyce

[pine star]

inb4 QC comes out and wipes the floor with OW as an esport

[digital pond]

Because we need to keep people with experience in the scene around

Instead of apssing 5 years teaching the scene to an org owned by a sport athlete

[rapid oxide]

Not realli sulli

[digital pond]

Or a Basketball team owner

[rapid oxide]

Veterans are mad already

[pine star]

Are they?

[solid spear]

@balmy wolf youd have to imagine that if theyre dropped that's a team orgs endemic or otherwise would want to buy

[rapid oxide]

"its overwatch set in quake world"

[digital pond]

MY fear when I read the news about the Dolphin and Patriots was mainly that those people might not have as much experience in the scene. And thus might not be knowledgeable and it could cause some issues.

So having orgs who can't buy in work with them would be beneficial

[balmy wolf]

Hopefully @solid spear

[digital pond]

If working together works well it'll attract bigger investors

While keeping the orgs working in esport for so long around

But that's Utopic mainly.

[rapid oxide]

Blizzard is obvoin contact with endemic org

Obviously

In

[pine star]

Endemic orgs with big wallets*

[digital pond]

I mean I can't say obv myself as I don't know what they are doing

Mainly why I only speak of stuff we know for sure.

@digital pond blizz knows what they are doing just look at them blazing a path in hearthstone https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/6a77f5/how_blizzard_is_screwing_over_americas_spring/

[digital pond]

I mean I have a tad bit more faith in JEff, but Esport is super sensitive, and I rather be ready for the worse than too hopeful.

The way they presented OWL brings a lot of expectations and goals and other things.

I'm glad big name sport teams wanna invest, I just hope they can care for the scene properly.

Even if officially esport is a sport it doesn't always work the same way as a traditional one.

I mean as long as it doesn't become FIFA.

It's not a total fail.

[pine star]

FIFA a fail

[digital pond]

Fail in the sense of the corruption in it

Of course the owners are making money.

[pine star]

Oh well, that's other thing

[digital pond]

They're also getting sued out the fuck ass for it

But standing cause they can buy every lawyer ever

But I would rather this not be the case here

[pine star]

I hate football soccer, but FIFA makes a shitton of money

Like

It's actually ridiculous

[digital pond]

I mean FIFA in the sense of it being based about making money and benefits for people with not as much care for the players

The chairboard of FIFA is richer than they ever will need to doe.

[pine star]

So are most top tier players

[digital pond]

True, but at the same time esport players rarely get paid the same gaps are pretty big and it's not city based.

Also been established for much longer and has better commercial deals and uses prime time tv slots.

It's a lot things that will be missing at first.

It has the potential to reach a lot of goals (OWL) just I'm worried, and usually prepare for the worse.

[rapid oxide]

Reddit comments about flame roster

I assume this is trolling... otherwise, good thing he lost.

[pine star]

Link?

[digital pond]

Also I saw the comment you spoke off Vace

About trying to work with both endemic orgs and sport orgs

But it doesn't really say much or if they'll work together or just work on buying out players mainly.

[rapid oxide]

True

[digital pond]

Fingers crossed >_<

[rapid oxide]

Im positive so I'll say they will also help

Because they have experience on esport

But yeah, finger crossed!

[digital pond]

Yeah definitely, I deal with dissapointment from company harshly. Since Arena net already dissapoints me daily with GW2

We need optimistic people too

[rapid oxide]

I was positive even after a game had 0 content for 3 years

[digital pond]

You got enough hope for all of us haha

[rapid oxide]

There's a bunch of negativity about OWL and OW esport about being such a joke of esport and no one believes on it... That trigger me a lot

[pine star]

I mean

We have faith

But

[rapid oxide]

Negativity isn't justified now.

[pine star]

Blizzard has done nothing to prove haters wrong yet

[digital pond]

You can hope something will do great but recognize things look bad.

If you're surprised about negativity on sub reddit tho it's another thing.

Kinda comes with any games that are esports related

[rapid oxide]

Reddit is trash idk why i still surf it honestly

[pine star]

sub reddit?

You mean internet in general

lol

[supple nymph]

blizzard has done a lot of mismanagement and money grabbing when it comes to stuff like this

so i want to be positive...

but

[digital pond]

A lot of people base themsleves on HS and WoW esport

Since it's the only thing esport related from blizzard

[rapid oxide]

Hots

[digital pond]

And both scenes are eh in terms of the overall

[supple nymph]

sc2

[digital pond]

Recently*

It's also easier to remember fails than success

[rapid oxide]

Still HOTS

[digital pond]

So even with sc2 people remember more recent "fiascos"

Hots isn't exactly something I consider that big

[pine star]

HotS

[rapid oxide]

It has his niche

As Vainglory

[digital pond]

It does well but on the esport scale it's not as high as they wanna put the OWL

[pine star]

Not even close

[rapid oxide]

Smite then

[digital pond]

I don't think Smite is even in that scale.

What they're trying to establish is literally massive for esport in general.

Not even the game specifically.

[rapid oxide]

Major had 30k peak iirc

Or 50 dunno

[digital pond]

They're aiming for a Dota 2 type of scale imo

And bigger

Cause it has more structure

And is set up massively to affect the world

And involve representation of Cities

[rapid oxide]

Dota2 and Lol were unbeatable

[digital pond]

And then countries

[rapid oxide]

Blizzard knew

[digital pond]

I didn't say beat

Sad reacts only

[digital pond]

I said on the same scale

Dota scale and money can't be beaten BECAUSE the prize money for Ti is crowdfunded

It's never Valve putting the money and having to sustain it.

But I mean just in scale of esport what OWL does will also affect other esports

IT's quite a massive endeavor and infrastructure to set up.

Any company trying to do what they do would be as, as much risk of not doing it right because it's easy to mess up

But at the end of the day I'm mainly rambling cause I do fear for esport in general in the west always,.

[rapid oxide]

But I mean just in scale of esport what OWL does will also affect other esports

[digital pond]

Mhm what I said ya

[rapid oxide]

Indeed, thats why thoorin said to hope owl will succeed

[pine star]

Yeah

[digital pond]

That's why the scale of it is so massive

[pine star]

If OWL fucks up, esports in general will suffer for years to come

[rapid oxide]

^

If Overwatch succeed

I belive others will follow

And i strike with my super positivity

Blizzard did a lot of trend changes

[limber pine]

the future of esports hinges on the success of OWL, yea or nea?

[pine star]

If OWL does well, traditional sports orgs and investors in general will be more enthusiastic to get into esports

[rapid oxide]

WoW set the stone for mmos, there still no mmo that can compete

[pine star]

@limber pine not quite like that, but it will most certainly have a huge impact

[digital pond]

I never like WoW personnaly but it was massive.

OWL won't kill esport if it doesn't work just makes it hard for people trying to make something similar

Since investors/company will have less faith in it

[rapid oxide]

RPG are copypaste of Diablo

LG Loyal is gone

EG have money

Everything is possible

[digital pond]

They do but EG also likes more money.

[pine star]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[digital pond]

IF the lack of info/trournament stay they could drop the team if they wanted

Having money doesn't mean they have to keep spending it on OW

From a business point of view
