@pine star my bad last month since you doubt

lol the world cup groups
i guess in retrospect they should have put seagull as a nominee 
Anyone interested in me streaming some of the tryout matches for Team USA on Monday (with team coms)? @PlayOverwatch World Cup 2017
@pine star
y u do dis Vace
Can he?
yay stream tryouts
If they manage to pull some dank memey highlights during tryouts, they can make it to /r/ow
YES PLEASE
twitch chat: WHERES SEAGULL WHERES SEAGULL NO SEAGULL????
lol
When does Seagull play? 4 Head

Anyone interested in me streaming some of the tryout matches for Team USA on Monday (with team coms)? @PlayOverwatch World Cup 2017
@pine star
SLOW POKE
He didn't say that he's streaming thou
No, it's not slowpoke, it's memes
:^)
lol
Why so early tho 
because he had to wake up 5am in the morning to do it
and also, pro schedule might not allow a lot of people to scrim later
so yeah
I right, he's in EU
anyone here know when r/OW is most populous?
What do you mean?
The optimal time to post to the subreddit?
what timezone?
halifax
i wouldnt reccomend it you will get downvoted to oblivion
unless they think it's jeff kaplan
just leave out the frist name
J. Kaplan streaming american team tryouts
That's click-bait
will anyone read non-click-bait in r/ow?
nah
lol
Subtle clickbait
already done
I approve
more clever than people who wanted r/OW to be just highlight ๐ .
#Intro This post serves as introduction to the (apparently not so famous) Reddit Enhancement Suite...

"I've never seen Jeff cast before I can't wait. I hope he brings his Jeph cup."
omg I hope that guy is trolling
@supple nymph fucker
my name is Ford his name is Fordeka subtle but important difference
๐
it looekd to be a troll thoughj
kek
lol
no
no u
He's right tho
LOL
I don't think he is completely right.
He sounds like it was a huge betrayal
He is
Oh
๐ค
There are better options
according to sources
people in the scene actually advised him to go streaming
instead of sticking with NRG
And i don't blame him go full streamers when he get more money
Seagull had gone on records that he wanted to be a competitive player first and foremost
but also economically it make too much sense
even if that's not what he enjoys
Yeah I think the not being pro/being a streamer is fine and that part is true.
and before anyone questioned my sources, i broke the Selly news first.
the guy is doing what he likes doing 
streaming?
yeah.
he doesnt like streaming
are you saying that he does want to be on an esports team?
wait
how do you know too
source?
๐
just read what i posted earlier
i dont really care you broke the selly news first
"Seagull had gone on records that he wanted to be a competitive player first and foremost
but also economically it make too much sense
even if that's not what he enjoys"
he's said on stream multiple times that he cares about being a pro and doesn't really want to give up pro play for streaming
oh thanks sojum for a source.
what reign is saying perfectly lines up with Gull's previous statements, tbh
or rather
be known as a pro
not a streamer
but he is with the steaming pile of turds that is NRG
didnt seagull also question bringing dummy onto the team?
and lol at "thanks sojum for a source" when Sojum just literally reinforced what I said
not all sources are from stream, mate.

it could be just private PMs and everything.
one of these days I should probably ask on how much Seagull's influence have on NRG as a team
but yeah, apperently seagull wasn't a big fan of a lot of roster decisions
wasn't he against booting esper?
I thought he was against booting Enigma
he was against bringing in Clockwork in, as well
yes
@balmy wolf i thought survivorOW broke selly first https://twitter.com/SurvivorOW/status/863275913219276801
not really
๐ค


Uncertain OWL career with terrible team performance and lower $
Secure streamer career, less stress, more $


so i guess with r/OW
no more highlight megathread then?
rip, straight back to the dumpster
no follow the filter guide or get fucked
^
Mods too lazy to moderate
Cause of normies and casuals we will never have something good in this world
I just saw my brother, who has not played since Season 2, place into Platinum SR 2587 with a 5 wins and 5 losses placement card. He played D.Va...
talk about casuals and normies
gotta love it when people keep digging back into that hole "but muh supports SR"
meanwhile OTP Mercys are like everywhere
The reason of why /r/overwatch is trash is because there isn't the same moderation of cow
no TIPS to give out good roadhog tips

ngl i kinda like going to r/ow for nonserious stupid shit and r/cow for serious digest
wtb bastion shield again ๐
I went 7-0-3 in placements and got low platinum,despite getting them golds
Hadnt played comp since S1
๐ค

i guess other?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/ that thread is on front page
we did it, reddit
fucking normies
this game is already falling down due to the shitty casual jumping on another shitty casual game
sadly ow on twitch now barely reach 30k
you can only squeeze out so much money from normies and casuals
the money and the fanbase will always be with the hardcore
and usually they are in the competitive scene
get your cosplays ready guys
then again, OWL is killing the comp scene too so
I thought quad tank wasnt as popular anymore
csgo, dota and lol are the most played game because it's a trash casual game right?
csgo dota and lol are incredibly hardcore
dota and csgo had cult appeals because every fucking Valve game has cult appeal
while lol's barrier to entry is super low
i go out for a while and the hate r/ow circlejerk began
envy vs MA is only like 6 hours from tryouts
@pure kettle It was still run during the start of 2017
REEEE
ah gotcha @balmy wolf
?
the heck are u guys on about
Whoever posted it got the title wrong
figured the take tv quals would resume today
They're over
mfw cow with 100k sub have more mods than ow that have 800k subs 
@balmy wolf yes, I got the time wrong. Fixed with flair and a pinned post
I know?
whoa misfits in takeover 2
woow what a surprise
Yeeee
probably eUnited is getting invited too now
which'd mean that we have 2 more wildcards
They're bootcamping in Korea so I doubt it
Oh are they still there? Aw
I probably just haven't been paying attention, my sense of time has gone out the window.
inb4 "LK pick up Selly"
Interesting they're investing more and more as others are doing the opposite hope it all goes well
alicus is so god damn rich
Teams be dropping Overwatch rosters. Meanwhile, Alicus flying his team to Korea, paying buyouts...
Makes you think all the negative reaction may be a bit of an overreaction?
Remembers me of the bronze twitch chat
LUL
maybe JKap would have worked better
people wouldn't accuse you of clickbait and people actually refer to him like that, but they'd still get baited in
but yeah, their fault for not knowing, lol
People are just dumb lol
@balmy wolf not cool 
Well they might switch around people from either team or add new people.
Sad to see someone expressing an opinion on seagull and get plats seagull's fellatio enthusiasts downvoting it
it wasn't an opinion though
it was flat out untrue garbage
that seagull never said
I mean, he basically said "Seagull said he isn't playing because of [false reasoning]. The guy is a troll anyway, a really bad one tbh
Check his post history
TSM lost against FW laugh my ass off fags
FW? Pls enlighten me
Flash Wolves on LoL
Ahhhh
Happy to see tsm failing
Hurr durr no owl, lol more important
NA is a joke anwyay in every esport
At least dont showcase it world wide lol
NA owns smash bros
TSM and G2 are really on the same "beat domestic talents, but always choke against other international teams"
Oh noey
do these people know who they were voting for, seriously?
i know, but still

@rapid oxide TSM also lost against G2
oof
Where are all those comments you guys are talking about?
I can't seem to find any of them in that thread
@pine star about what?
yeah
i did clickbaited them
but then again
r/OW needs to get clickbaited
so yeah
anything interesting happen today
Jake confirmed he is one of the 12 tryouts if there was doubt
also LGE moved in their team house aye
@solid spear link?
it was from a few minutes ago Polo sorry but hes still getting a couple questions anyway
why did you not think of clipping that 
Oreo LUL
๐ฆ
Fucking r/ow not having half the brain to consider there's another real human with "Kaplan"
Typical I guess
More broken than mind-broken hentai sluts
i'm going to try to see if he can get Silkthread in
krey
๐
Mind broken hentai sluts 

Pls
'Cause you see, a normal person with rationality and reason would first ask "who's this guy" and then proceed to at least google him, but no, first reaction is that he's not the Jeff because they both has Kaplan
Like fuck, that's what I did when I first saw JKap at like what was it, Dreamhack I think?
No pls
"Kaplan? Is he like a brother or smth" "Oh no? ok"
@pine star I guess you could say I haven't thought of them that low yet
so according to JAKE
at least one of these three is in
MESR, DaHang, and Rapha
he remains coy on who exactly though
Mmm, good ol' Jake from State Farm
Rapha's Lucio is actually insane
I ain't even mad
Also MESR is the obvious choice for main tank
No surprise there
Mesr is so obvious lol so thats not really saying anything
well since I'm a TL fan
feelsfree to ask JAKE on your own term lol
Well Rapha did stop streaming a little bit ago saying he needed to scrim
idk if that was for Liquid scrims or USA scrims
He has also said he is very busy this week
So my bet is on him
So @numlocked is part of @G2esports now. Who will @NRGgg sign to replace him? No contract buyout is too great for OW's great money pit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/6b77mu/numlocked_is_now_a_part_of_g2_esports/
@PestoEnthusiast @numlocked @G2esports @NRGgg You srsly got jebaited by @evokjeOW linking something from Nov 2015 Pesto, you are my hero <3
lul
protalk 100%
Pesto 



nah it is not
he said he will stick with ex Fnatic
while also open for head coaching as well
team council....
which?
The US one...
nice, grats
??
Has what
???
tryouts
Starts in 1hr 36m
I mean they could do that but tryouts are better/more reliable at least
this is NA tryouts right?
guess I might not be in the loop for "Game time" would've done it like 3hrs earlier lol
idk why dahang is one of the 12 tho. he doesn't really feel like that good of a player from what I've seen
I mean obviously he's good but idk if he'd be my pick for main healer
@balmy wolf its tomorrow
@supple nymph something must have happened.
@delicate sparrow Dahang is incredibly underrated
Wtf Slasher?
dont you guys have a slack or something lol
reddit comments seem like an inefficient way to organize
wut
slack is like discord but for business
what's being said, can't have audiot atm
what is more surprising is someone thinking he is american with his accent
Maybe who asked is also not american?
didn't thought of that, tho even then i think it's reasonably easy to discern, i'm not native and can tell most of times
I think whoever asked assumed it was by where you live, not by where you're from
I'm not native as well, and I sometimes have trouble identifying accents in english
Not all non-natives have the same level than others
oh lul
could be
i lived in various English speaking countries
and there are subtle, not noticable differences between the lot
talking about regional accents or non-native accents?
so the team usa stream ain't happening?
we don't know atm
also

You could have written Jason Kaplan just as easily 
then people won't get clickbaited in to invest in their Team USA stream
it accomplished its job.
Fight fire with fire
I guess Jason never woke up.
am i dunk, or what he said isn't necessarily stupid?
you're drunk
you're dunk
dunk*
but he could have a point
what
just remember Hidan on LGL
i actually can't word out right what i meant, so just forget it (btw, still think yoreOverwatch's wrong)
i actually wanted gods on tank to see how good he could become
with team based esports
the downside is there's not really a point to have bench players
@forest raven that was leaked like a few hours ago i think
so it limits the number of players on rosters even more
idk about finding a tank though
like what quality tank do we have on the FA right now?
maybe
either way though
idk about getting tank
since as far as we know right now Tank FA are Juv3nile, Plouk, and Stoop?
those three are kind of eh
Wat7 is also free
actually explain to me why having less organizations is bad and potentially not thinning out talent
again i dont follow enough to know
free as in orgless or free as in he's with the rest of ex-dignitas?
the former
Late but... Finland's gift to esports is a Mercy main https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgb-r4WRnkA
[SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE OVERWATCH CONTENT] Yesterday was a fun day, I duo'd with Taimou (one of the best hitscan players in the world) and proclaimed a new hero ...
I didnt know Linkz played Mercy

@jovial eagle because most of the A+ talents are already in top teams anyway
this is most of the mid tier team getting disbanded

so kinda like survival of the fittest?
i guess basically what he said wasn't even wrong, it was way off the target
lul
What a finish. Site of my first EPL game, many great memories, and the place the made me fall in love with football. #coys https://t.co/dOcPqMyA61
Post some OWL, no one give a fuck 
there's really no shortage of talents when there are like about enough FA to make like 5 different teams
@rapid oxide that's now OWL news lol
he knows it isnt
he's saying "Post some OWL content, no one gives a fuck about football"
he just missed a few words
i think he misspoke
more players in the scene means it dilutes the attention to the top players
not so much shortage of talent, but shortage of elite talent?
but if the top players are locked in top teams anyway
there isn't a "shortage" of elite talents
he's just an idiot
plain and simple
yeah
im fairly certain what he's saying doesn't match what he's thinking
elite talents haven't increased
might be what he's thinking
then he's still an idiot
from what i've seen, there's not new elite talents surfacing
and then apparently some players deemed as world's best at "insert character name" has fallen
i don't know what to believe anymore
you don't have to
im just a guy somewhat interested in esports but taken aback with the attitudes of people who religiously follow it
Im not saying I do believe it, or that im not believing it
Im telling you not to
because its wrong
oh
gotcha
but yeah a lot of people have overzealous passion for the pro overwatch scene
mistakes are seen as throwing, which baffles me
talents aren't just going to be elite in a day
i understand that
throwing is more of a common parlance than actually literally meaning "throwing"
it is more like "how did he make that mistake?"
i had a feeling that was the case, but still
anyways, im just gonna look forward to world cup again
just pointing out also
that irl sport
also share the same kind of passion
@jovial eagle
oh im aware
the most passionate ones are well
passionate
i've seen it firsthand heh
I mean selly might have thought he was as good on other heroes, but it ended up not being enough for pro scene Sojum
yoreOverwatch
@clever wagon Freedo of Y.O
oh, i thought YO was just one dude
the true retard is what's his face
Did they ever respond to ioStux calling them out?
stylosa
Stylosa is at least better than them
Eh, sty really isn't that bad
People just like memeing because he's the most popular one
Your Overwatch are truly retarded
They also believe in elo hell
He doesn't really act as condescending as YO and their "coaching"
never watched them, but just by the iostux video there's a lot of just, plain wrong stuff
heh
i just don't watch any of these people
Problem is their stuff do have audience
mm hmm
And it's bad for YO tier coaching to be seen by that many
you'd assume that people who bother to watch these types of channel would bother to research some more and discover that they are garbage
plat Tracer "coaching"
calls out on his team trickling
mouse sensitivity
pixel skipping
barely comments on the player's actual gameplay
Because they need coaching they dont know YO is garbage
And how an actual coaching is supposed to be
if you're playing tracer you should gun for the supports
at least that's what i do
or i distract the reinhardt
Which was barely brought up by YO in their alleged "coaching"
that's what i'm saying, like, i'd assume people that look for improvement with coaching would research more
to be fair, lots of people who receive misinformation don't know they're being fed
Eh, they go to YouTube, see big channel with lots of views, see a dude who sounds confident about his garbage and sounds like he knows what he's talking about and watch
It's not very hard to see why
Exactly
yeah, and yt is full of garbage and clickbait, not easy to filter if you are new
We decided Team USA tryouts wont be streamed, but rather we will do our best to put together high quality highlight videos from it, instead.
so
anyone here got twitter?
gotta tell him that everyone want to watch stream and nobody want to get le Dummy montage
What polo said, missed some words
Unfortunate
Oh noey
Can't wait to see stylosa team 
inb4 r/ow double clickbait complaints
what a clusterf
@ilovegirlgam3rs the players are free to say they are trying out, but it is up to them if they want to make it public.
?
wut?
the tryouts not being streamed

KyKy's official answer
๐ฉ
interesting view into ow team organization
someone in one of the ow talk shows predicted team usa would have communication problems
I mean I wouldn't say it's the team anyway
'It's more so the committee members but it's pretty clear KyKy is gonna do most of the coaching
@supple nymph screen cap that?
screen cap what
like which OW talk shows talked about that
and also, so much for me doing advert in r/OW and r/COW
and it ended up amounted to nothing
For those of you who saw the 2 mercies fighting video
LMAO

i tried to talk about owl 5 mins ago and i was bashed with dgoods
bashed?
you got bashed?
bash pls
Hiya Bash! ๐

I hope that OWL will take care of all the free agents, it sucks that they kind of sit around for the next few months.
KDP ๐
combine


is nv gonna win tomorrow

Wonder how Korea will deal with OWL though
nice dick
korea is in a wierd spot i think for owl
Will Blizz ask OGN to stand down?
ajax are u in moon base?
Apex is some really good shit
ooo
Wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard just asked OGN to partner up
Oh yeah, will they have their own league or something, will OGN run their league. I think that OGN has done so much for Kr Overwatch that they should be involved somehow.
i am in moon base its a great server
i'll tag and expose him for stealing dgoods
do it
Rod more like, God
probably blizzard will just tell OGN to not run their shit during OWL seasons
I think korea might not even bother because they have Apex which is their own tournament like OWL
so OGN will happen during off-season
oooh that'd be interesting
since only 1/3 of the year is gonna have matches iirc
I thought Seoul was leaked as one of the OWL locations
Yee
that wasnt a leak
that image with the 16 OWL cities?
that was a visual representation
that wasn't a leak
that was merely an example
Yeah that was just a "this is what it could look like"
its very possible thats how they plan it to work
tis was mearly a flesh found
Heh
but its not a "leak"
To be fair I feel that with the current situation I fear endemic orgs biting the bullet. at the same time whatever happens org wise players will be able to play in the league and that's one of the most important things.
I envisioned something like a endemic org having partnership with major sport org
oh
Although I'm not excited to cheer for the IMT Miami dolphins.
i also find it highly unlikely only 16 teams iwll be in the a worldwild league and only 2 are asian
they probably make it localized
Maybe 16 to start?
OGN APEX is too great to just scrap it
i doubt 16 globally and asains would only have 2 teams
like
??????
i find that impossible
people are speculating that it'll be 16 NA teams
alot of the teams that stuck around are partnered up with a major sports org
at the start
Apex is great
I mean we've doubt Blizzard before
i hope it is 16 na teams
And they showed they don't care about our doubts
but i have doubts that the KR teams will buy into OWL if the cost is $20m
BUT with 16 NA teams how does it work can EU teams be involved.
rogue
envy
misfits
how does this work
buy in is 3mil
no one knows

16 NA teams....good luck getting 16 sport org to dunk 20 mils in though
