If ajax made a team he would say "masters +"

clever wagon

Who cares about their rank, it's the thoughts that matter

spring lintel

It's not an actual team then

balmy wolf
#

I doubt they're the first female team

clever wagon

Iunno man

spring lintel

Kitty is the first pro female

rapid oxide
#

#

Geguri, 177, Mozzdada

clever wagon
#

Again, point is, if they want to go for it, go for it

spring lintel
#

She needs to be the president of the female association for OW

clever wagon
#

Not anybody's place to judge

rapid oxide

#

@balmy wolf the hate boner for nrg is real

#

they have a suite of nrg commands

balmy wolf
#

its not just nrg lol

onyx shore
#

well

#

is this the comitee usa wants?

balmy wolf
#

Apparently

onyx shore
#

is this good? objectively

balmy wolf
#

Well yes

#

but there were better picks

onyx shore
#

United Kingdom: Stylosa, Numlocked, Kruise 👌

spring lintel
#

Any pros have been picked yet?

onyx shore
#

can comitee play in world cup team?

#

aka can they choose themselves

spring lintel
#

Yeah

#

I hope iddqd chooses himself

onyx shore
#

just sent misfits?

spring lintel
#

Iddqd said he wont send misfits

#

If he is chosen

clever wagon
#

They have to drop their comitee position

spring lintel
#

And he is

#

So

onyx shore
#

i wonder if stylosa will play zaryalol

spring lintel
#

LOL

#

Fuck no

#

Stylosa is gonna be so devastated

balmy wolf
#

Stylosa just there for the decoration

spring lintel
#

Cause they might lose so fast

#

Yeah thats what I thought

#

This thing is a bit rigged

onyx shore
#

man

#

i love reading comments about stylosa on that thread

#

Continuing our impressive streak of fucking ourselves over in popular votes FeelsGBMan

spring lintel
#

Like they chose famous players so they can get views and shit

onyx shore
#

Let us take a moment, to say a prayer in memory of the UK's chances at the World Cup.

pine star
#

@clever wagon where did you read that they have to drop their committee position? I'm pretty sure that's false

onyx shore
#

well,the comitees are chosen by popularity contest...this bounds to happen

#

like people voting stylosa bcos hes youtuber

#

or just for the lulz

quiet bone
#

stylosa said he isnt playing

supple nymph
#

@trim pelicanediaz#5606 stylosa is the best bronze/gold/plat coach there is why would there be any problems?

quiet bone
#

i dont see the problem

balmy wolf
#

actually @pine star if people vote themselves to be the player then they have to drop their committee spot. That was the new rule

pine star
#

Source?

onyx shore
#

source?

balmy wolf
#

of course, it was announced rather discreetly like Blizzard always do so the only source I have is Around the Watch podcast

supple nymph
#

how do you keep track every source says there are different rules

balmy wolf
#

most of the WC rules so far have been rather confusing tbh, because of Blizzard

pine star
#

I mean

quiet bone
#

stylosa

solid spear
#

I heard what Wolf said on the Overview

#

if that means anything

quiet bone
#

watch it

pine star
#

If I vote myself but I still get to play because I voted myself, what point in dropping the committee position?

balmy wolf
#

and also, Stylosa lol. I'm eagerly waiting for his cheerleading

#

this is the same guy that said "UK is dooned anyway because of Sweden, Finland and SK"

#

so might as well "vote him in"

pine star
#

I already made a committee decision by voting myself

#

So does that mean that I don't get to play because I'm not a committee member anymore and don't have a say?

balmy wolf
#

and also @pine star you basically forfeit your committee position by that way

pine star
#

So many questions

balmy wolf
#

it is Blizzard. There always will be questions.

limber pine
#

but what does the committe do after the team is selected?

pine star
#

Exactly

onyx shore
#

will france send full rogue?

balmy wolf
#

France will send full Rogue

pine star
#

And what happens with countries like Spain where probably all of the committee members are going to play

wintry matrix
#

aren't they coaches also? i guess it would be something like that, except if the comite also picks a coach

onyx shore
#

i hope yes if its their strongest lineup

balmy wolf
#

@limber pine their job is done

#

it is not like they will accompany people or something

limber pine
#

and that's my point

pine star
#

Makes literally zero sense

balmy wolf
#

Well actually the committee does go to Blizzcon

#

regardless of them being on the team or not

#

and also, the French committee was streaming and then quickly decided that they will send Rogue.

#

probably the quickest meeting if anything

#

"do we want to send Rogue"

pine star
#

But if they are on the team they still go to Blizzcon obviously

balmy wolf
#

"yes"

onyx shore
#

i wonder why muselK didnt win the comitee spot

pine star
#

Still makes no sense

limber pine
#

but that's still not a forfeit per se

onyx shore
#

in my imagination

balmy wolf
#

@trim pelicanediaz#5606 they want to avoid the shitshow of last year

limber pine
#

unless all the committees go to blizzcon regardless whether their team is there.

balmy wolf
#

He wasnt a candidate @trim pelicanediaz#5606

onyx shore
#

lets say stylosa wants to play

balmy wolf
#

Num and Kruise wont let him lol

onyx shore
#

he said "im choosing myself"

pine star
#

@limber pine I believe polo meant the live group stages and, if qualified, Blizzcon

onyx shore
#

then the other two will decide

#

bcos sty is like voting for himself

balmy wolf
#

You cant just say "Im going" and thats the end of it

#

^

#

There's 2 other members responsible for choosing the team

onyx shore
#

yeah

balmy wolf
#

this is why the situation in Sweden is so volatile.

#

Num and Kruise will not let Sty on the team lol

#

no way in hell

onyx shore
#

well,i think every country will have differnt method of deciding

balmy wolf
#

Sty won't even want to be in team, unless he want to be a shitshow like last year

pine star
#

Sty said himself he isn't playing, he said that "that's what pros are for"

balmy wolf
#

and last year all the streamers in UK team keep defaulting to the pros

onyx shore
#

what if he does it anyway?

#

for the meme

balmy wolf
#

UK is fucked, that's what

#

He wont be allowed

#

He said he doesnt want to and even if he does say "Im on the team" kruise and num wont let him

#

having Numlocked on UK team though 😓

solid spear
#

eh

onyx shore
#

so who will be on the UK team?

solid spear
#

its ok

pine star
#

He acknowledges he isn't qualified to play in the team, so I don't think that'll be an issue

balmy wolf
#

UK there's at least better tank

#

like Staryk, ChrisTFer

pine star
#

I'm most interested in Sweden committee thenkerino with André as third wheel

balmy wolf
#

Sweden is going to be an interesting situation for all the wrong reasons.

pine star
#

Yeah

balmy wolf
#

and also, according to ZP, Mendo won't even sniff the position

pine star
#

Let the spice come

onyx shore
#

that russian comitee

#

ofc shadowburn will play

balmy wolf
#

I just wished people get their head out of the gutter and realized that with APEX there's no way Cocco and Chips can participate

onyx shore
#

right

balmy wolf
#

and IDDQD is too busy trying to extinguish the NRG dumpster fire

pine star
#

Neither Rogue then

onyx shore
#

@balmy wolf they played badly?

balmy wolf
#

Rogue is all in APEX though.......

toxic yacht
#

APEX finals are being pushed a week back to accomodate for the WC iirc

balmy wolf
#

I'd say Kyb, Realzx, ChrisTFer, Boombox, Sev and Kruise/Mikey

pine star
#

Exactly

balmy wolf
#

for team UK

#

@onyx shore they will be too busy in nV to practice with Swedish squad

#

and good luck practice with ping from KR to EU

pine star
#

Then neither Taimou, Hulk, Mickie, Harry will be able to play for their countries

balmy wolf
#

it is a dicey situation for nV players

#

meanwhile Rogue is like "oh we are all here and practicing we cool"

#

Sweden is probably just going to be Misfits

#

although, if WC allow subs though

#

then I can't see why they can't put Chips and IDDQD in

#

make it Misfits + 2

pine star
#

Ok, they can let IDDQD for all I care, but there's no reason to have Mineral on the team

#

Just put Zebbo on Lúcio and Chips on Ana

#

Goddammit

balmy wolf
#

no shotcaller? 🤔

toxic yacht
#

zebbo

#

is the shotcaller then

#

he used to call for misfits before kryw left

#

and he swapped to off-tank/dps

balmy wolf
#

Misfits brought Mineral in to add with the shotcall though

#

It isnt even really a debate, Misfits is definitely going

pine star
#

I know

balmy wolf
#

so......why are you trying to kick an integral part of their shotcalling system?

#

Like why would they send Cocco or Chips

#

They wont be able to practice

pine star
#

But there's still going to be S P I C E

toxic yacht
#

TviQ literally said it on Twitter

#

it makes no sense to not take an established team

#

and he's on the committee now

balmy wolf
#

Sure Reinforce is agaisnt it, but he isnt on the Committee

pine star
#

he can just not play

toxic yacht
#

I mean, I think Reinforce would do it if he were on the committee tbh

#

because of le baguette

solid spear
#

yeah he never said he wouldnt vote for Misfits

toxic yacht
#

he's against the idea, but if they want to stand a chance vs that they'd have to send in misfits

solid spear
#

he said he wished there were general rules that prevented it

balmy wolf
#

Lets be real though

#

Finals will be LH vs Rogue

pine star
#

Yeah

balmy wolf
#

gotta love the optimism

wintry matrix
#

because they are boring

pine star
#

That's a fact

solid spear
#

well Korea might not go full LH

toxic yacht
#

I don't know if they'll send the entirety of LH

#

tbh

solid spear
#

could change dps

balmy wolf
#

especially when they had Runner on the Committee

toxic yacht
#

also, this is exactly why I was against established teams, lul

solid spear
#

but its defintely SK vs Togue

balmy wolf
#

and he'd lobby for Kaiser hard

solid spear
#

Rogue*

toxic yacht
#

we're all already calling the finals

balmy wolf
#

i mean the SK committeee doesn't even have LH guys, calm down

#

you guys are literally calling it because you think

toxic yacht
#

I doubt that they'll send in LH

pine star
#

Inb4 France and Korea meet in the semifinals for some stupid reason

wintry matrix
#

the Koreans do look like they would be able to rach good team sinergy

balmy wolf
#

they won't send in full squad, but RJH is going to be a must pick.

#

main tank is basically a toss up between Miro or Kaiser

#

DPS can be the KDP duo or the LW duo

#

because seriously who want to send Esca and Arhan when you can have better picks

pine star
#

ArHaN HYPERLUL

balmy wolf
#

Off tank is toss up between Hoon and Zunba

toxic yacht
#

ArHaN is the world's best genji though, you forgot?

#

he's better than shadowburn

#

and haksal

pine star
#

EscA superLUL

toxic yacht
#

because haksal can only play with a team supporting him

#

and shadowburn has good aim, but arhan is better

#

did you guys forget?

#

the man himself said it

#

LUL

balmy wolf
#

the way KR genjis play are different from Western Genji though

#

KR Genjis is more finisher

#

while Western Genji is more into the carry-er

pine star
#

Even in Korea itself styles are different

#

WhoRU plays a fairly different style than Haksal

toxic yacht
#

I mean, there are also different genji styles in the west

#

that's normal

pine star
#

Yeah

toxic yacht
#

seagull and shadowburn also play a completely different style of genji

#

admittedly, sdb usually has a team playing around him

balmy wolf
#

SDB is what Seagull is if Seagull had a. better support and b. better carry potential

it is kind of a waste

I stay in it for starboard, announcements and the tourney chat

The sad thing is, there's literally 0 official statements from Blizzard

rapid oxide

wwhat about... umh

#

go back in 2016

#

can we please rewind?

pine star
#

They need to do some serious damage control like right now

balmy wolf
#

they won't

#

that's the funny part

rapid oxide

seagull wasn't that retard by going full streamer

balmy wolf
#

he was advised by multiple people

#

to actually do that

#

NRG was a dumpster fire by all accounts

and still is

sighhh

blizzard why you money grab

rapid oxide

That means more shit incoming?

#

how can blizzard be so dumb when it comes to esports?

#

they created it

supple nymph
#

corporate

fleet idol
#

activision?

#

aren't they only minority shareholders of blizzard

balmy wolf
#

@rapid oxide yes

toxic yacht
#

Blizzard didn't create eSports, Brood War was so successful because Blizz didn't fuck it up, lol

balmy wolf
#

and it is funny because Activision does know how to run an esport franchise

#

since their COD esport wing

toxic yacht
#

They didn't touch brood war, at all

balmy wolf
#

is very successful

#

we are talking about 2 millions prize pot successful

toxic yacht
#

Also, Activision and blizzard are the same company

#

They literally merged back in 2007

#

The full name is actually "Activision Blizzard"

balmy wolf
#

doesn't mean that both company learn from each other lol

ded game people, imma head to paladins esports discord cya

#

In all seriousness tho

#

One would think with articles on ESPN, Blizzard would come out with a statement

#

But nope

balmy wolf
#

the worst part of that report though

#

is that a. it is expected

#

b. some people had said that it is 90% true

#

and of course, Blizzard being a deliberate mute about it for whatever reason

Blizzard has done a lot of dumb shit, but this seems too dumb

#

Negotiation ? This is how nobody will take you seriously because you're delusional

toxic yacht
#

I'll still see

vestal mortar
#

I hope that they'll release the details publically soon

pine star
#

We don't know shit tho

toxic yacht
#

I don't believe that they'd do this without thinking

#

There must be a rational reason there

rapid oxide
#

Blizzard is retarded, but not that much i guess

fleet idol
#

I'm guessing that it's because they've had a bunch of VCs circle jerking blizzard

rapid oxide
#

Monte will probably comment about it

#

looks like that shitting on OWL now is a trend for news website tbh

toxic yacht
#

It has been for a while

kindred kiln
#

people were shitting on it since it was announced

toxic yacht
#

I wont go all "BLOZZOD IS SO DUMB" just yet

limber pine
#

am I the only one who thinks 20 million aint a bad deal

toxic yacht
#

Need actual information

rapid oxide
#

i agree sojum

#

but meanwhile Paladins is installed 👀

fleet idol
#

20 mill for an unproven product with no return on investment until 2021

#

all the while knowing that esports is extremely volatile

kindred kiln
#

i don't know shit about economical part of esports, but asking for more than 2x of what other more established market asks seems like a bad move at best

fleet idol
#

it's a bad deal

rapid oxide
#

there's no immediate ROI

#

even on LoL

kindred kiln
#
  • more than 10x
limber pine
#

It's a risk sure

#

there's no argument there

rapid oxide
#

expecting a ROI in the near future is stupid for every investiment

#

otherwise wont be called investiment

limber pine
#

but I don't think it's as astronomical as people think

vestal mortar
#

Yeah I don't know, it might be depending on the details and what they're offering as part of this slot. Like how long do they get it for, do they pick they pick the team for the slot, live home games and tournaments held in their city with potential ticket sales etc.

fleet idol
#

league is already established though

rapid oxide
#

dude

#

kraft could buy whole lol lmao

fleet idol
#

I guess the problem is that this is completely uncharted territory for esports

rapid oxide
#

for people like kraft, 20 milions are pennies

limber pine
#

Agreed with @toxic yacht though, we need more info (or something official)

vestal mortar
#

👌

kindred kiln
#

that's the problem tho, they are completely silent for now

rapid oxide
#

problem is sprite, no news will come out for sure

#

im hitting f5 on twitter tho

kindred kiln
#

might be waiting for blizzcon but that's quite a long time

limber pine
#

not necessarily

#

if more info is getting leaked

#

maybe we'll get something offical soon

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

maybe I'm too much an optimist

rapid oxide
#

"guys that were fake news, we have bill gates signed in the league"

#

i am optimist

#

but this news aren't helping

Bobby Kotick has spoken about the longer term revenue goals for Overwatch League.

Remember what I said if esport dies the game dies a year after DvaCop

rapid oxide
#

pig of dogs HYPERLUL

spring lintel
#

It's the cycle

rapid oxide
#

it wont die because overwatch is casual

#

the majority of playerbase is casual

#

but fully casual game die at some point

#

because they are shitty casuals

spring lintel
#

Most comp players arent casual

balmy wolf
#

If the esports scene continued on how it was

#

Overwatch would be fine for at least 5 years

pine star
#

Most ARE casuals

balmy wolf
#

the casual playerbase + esports fans and all that stuff

#

but no

rapid oxide
#

but at level of atlantic showdown can survive

spring lintel
#

I mean the game die because the devs are gonna give less attention

rapid oxide
#

at the moment no

toxic yacht

@pine star don't even try, lol

blizzard had to bring it out back

who's jason lake?

Well there's a long knife. Blizzard will decide if it's to stab them or cut them a big piece of pie.

#

Jason works for CoL

#

And by that I mean

#

CEO of CoL

rapid oxide
#

then probably he's going to shit on OWL

spring lintel
#

I am going to sleep and I hope that when i wake up the esport scene is still there

digital pond

He said himself then planned to come back to OWL later.

#

So I wouldn't take it as that bias frankly.

balmy wolf
#

Better get gud at Quake when we are at it lol

digital pond
#

But with the current infos it does suck major ass for endemic orgs

spring lintel

They should make small slots for small tournaments

So i wouldn't be surprised he dislikes it

spring lintel

Like 2 different leagues

toxic yacht
#

I'll buy a Switch and git gud at splatoon

balmy wolf

Id say the info we got today, those orgs got earlier in the week

Which is why they dropped out

Make a pro splatoon team

What if Blizzard is making league spots so expensive to get orgs to drop their players so sports teams have​ players to pick up, possible a combine 🤔

gentle shuttle
#

"All this news makes me think something massive will drop soon" aye.

#

my thing is

#

these orgs have been riding with your game all this time, many of which since the closed beta days

#

and now they're llike fuck you

digital pond
#

We always say "something big is gonna happen"

#

Been the case since the announcement lmao

gentle shuttle
#

blizzard clearly dont care about grassroots

#

this is really the first time there's been a constant stream of articles since then though

digital pond
#

Well yeah due to the "leak" info

gentle shuttle
#

there's just a lot of activity around it atm

digital pond
#

We've had similar leaks before and a bigger number of articles

#

Then it died down and repeated til today

#

Just the whole "it's coming" deal just feels reashed at this point.

#

Iono I don't even wanna worry about it anymore there's no point.

gentle shuttle
#

i'll just say, it is always in your best interest to work with your community not against it. Especially since you kind of owe it to them as they've been supporting your brand for the longest

digital pond
#

Agreed

pine star
#

It'd be could if Blizzard made a minor league

They might make one to mirror APEX's system or teams going up and down.

@balmy wolf slashers server is garbage

balmy wolf
#

ok?

supple nymph
#

didn't someone say it was a good place for esports discussion?

balmy wolf
#

Idk

#

I just go there for starboard, the tournament channel and the VC whenever there's a finals on or whatever

pine star
#

Serious esports discussions in The O.W.

#

Nice meme Ford

gentle shuttle
#

half the players are teens

#

what do you expect

balmy wolf
#

flamecord is better in the tournament channel

#

i'm banned from there though so rip me

digital pond
#

Do you get banned like almost everywhere?

balmy wolf
#

not really

#

mods in flamecord are lowkey nazi

#

so that's the only place i got banned

supple nymph
#

LMAO

#

how did you get banned?

balmy wolf
#

long story short, there was a heated discussion about female and esport, made an off color joke about punching people regardless of their gender (which apparently is intepreted as less of a joke and more of a statement on woman assault), and one of the mod just promptly ban me.

#

of course, some people in there didn't like me for being confrontational and get accused as being an "instigator"

#

but then again I guess they don't want to point out the reality is that woman and esport is a long way to go, and it is not because of frat boyz harassing Mercy mains in the server.

#

the funniest part of all though? Got banned by a mod who called herself a communist. And I was born and raised in a communist country

#

that was a truly waitwut moment

#

Nice eSports thinkerong

digital pond
#

I mean you said you didn't wanna get banned AGAIn when you came in here

#

So isn't that two places?

#

Or did you mean banned in general

balmy wolf
#

just in general

digital pond
#

Gotcha

balmy wolf
#

technically I could ask Flame to be unbanned but eh

#

let's not bothering him with some bullshit

#

and I doubt he would revoke what his mods did anyway

supple nymph
#

only way to win that is to not play

#

gender discussions

clever wagon
#

Or people are just way insecure to talk about it

balmy wolf
#

i just hate when people just go straight up bullshit with topics like that

#

talking about how boyz keep girls out with various contrived reasons

#

meanwhile Renegades just sponsored a Mercy main who had 600 hours on her, a Plat on season 3 and somehow a GM in season 4

#

"I used to be an engineer, now I'm a full time streamer. LUL. I enjoy vidya games. Mostly Overwatch. I'm a GM support main with like 600 hours in Mercy. It's disgusting, I know. "Why does like EVERY girl main mercy?" Because that's just the way our brains were wired. "Well obviously you're boosted." Obviously."

#

Funny how she says "Well obviously you're boosted." Obviously. when she actually is lul

supple nymph
#

so she's on the active roster?

balmy wolf
#

sponsored by Renegades as streamer

#

lol no

#

RNG already have a full roster mate

#

there's only 2 types of one tricks that accepted in OW pro: Genji and Lucio

supple nymph
#

so they pay her $1000 and she puts their logo on her stream?

balmy wolf
#

basically.

supple nymph
#

she's not really on the team then...

balmy wolf
#

it does make you think on why a pro needs to fight tooth and nail on the ladder to even sniff a chance in a tier 3 team while she basically got a free ride and admited being boosted

#

They mean like

#

"The Team"

#

not the players

#

like coaches and health advisors or whatever they're called

#

the Org is probably the better terminology then

#

I guess it doesnt really make sense to people who don't know english too well

#

Because they will just read "the Renegades team" as the active lineup

supple nymph
#

coaches and health advisors are directly involved with the pro stuff though

#

whatever i get it though

#

pointless gesture

balmy wolf
#

you'd thought by the way Mercy mains are infested the ladder atm

someone'd fallen through the cracks lol
