[vestal mortar]

Yeah, they were rumours

[balmy wolf]

assuming that it was a real invite

didn't Seagull also dropped from NRG around that time as well?

[vestal mortar]

I will not be assuming that it was a real invite 😛

[balmy wolf]

Just assume it for the sake of conjecture lol

[solid spear]

I mean theres no reason to assume that though lol

[balmy wolf]

Now I have a theory that Seagul drop off right before the invite come, so NRG had no choice but to turn down. So APEX went to nV instead

[solid spear]

I mean they wanted NV initially but NV turned it down

I actually heard that IMT was their next choice

[balmy wolf]

IMT was one of their choices but AFAIK they couldn't get 4 foreign teams so they only settle for 2

Everyone was declining

Citing various reasons

[solid spear]

I mean its the only big LAN but understandably being in another country for 3 months can be draining

[balmy wolf]

there maybe an NA LAN? I browsed the list for the cyberpower thing

there's the Summer Invitational

and also Final Series Tournament

all in the OW umbrella

Only if the Rumble was a LAN

:c

[vestal mortar]

😢

[solid spear]

Dafran at LAN

One day

[balmy wolf]

gotta prepare for the possibility that the WC qualifiers to be the only LAN we have

[rapid oxide]

Holy shit, new skins looks awful

I wonder what a legendary voice line would say

[solid spear]

Might be singing or something long

[clever wagon]

Hm

[wary falcon]

How many maps MVP Space will win?

[forest raven]

The most I can see is 1

But most likely a 3-0 for Blue

[wary falcon]

Which one?

2CP?

[forest raven]

No clue

Don't know enough about Space

[balmy wolf]

please AOD

take a map off of LH

[toxic yacht]

🙏

[stoic dragon]

Go go AOD

but not for rogue

[supple nymph]

https://www.twitch.tv/ognglobal

starting

[final river]

I see so rooting for aod is rooting for Rogue

"due to losing too many times we're immune to defeats"

[rapid oxide]

Janus hair color

Sae and Luna

[feral solar]

everytime LW blue are on the red side i feel angry

idk why but i do

[supple nymph]

NA ULT

[feral solar]

yeh didnt need that

[balmy wolf]

MVP putting up a fight here

Boostio lol

[rapid oxide]

Caster miss the boostio

noticed it

before they shows it

smh

[balmy wolf]

MVP keep letting LW Blue C9'd them

[supple nymph]

WHAT

oh i guess it got mercy...

[wary falcon]

yes

[balmy wolf]

MVP is feeding now

77% off of that

[wary falcon]

pulse bomb into matrix

mhhhmm

[balmy wolf]

not noticed the bomb got eaten

quality casters there

[wary falcon]

they were focusing pharah battle i guess

[final river]

They praised the tracking on soldiers ult last time

The one with the accent I think

[supple nymph]

LOL

[stoic dragon]

beautiful tracking

[wary falcon]

MVP's Pharah played very good to be honest

[final river]

I like only bo3 for koth

[wary falcon]

3 maps, 3 rounds

[balmy wolf]

tactical pause already? hm

[wary falcon]

it's easy and good

but 5 rounds and 3 maps

69

[final river]

I would love to see Bastion

[feral solar]

i like triple support on this map

could work

[final river]

Anything different would be cool

Triple support, sure

What's the reasoning behind it I wonder

[stoic dragon]

according to LH (regarding KDP's triple support offense on attack), it's basically because when all three supports ult are up they're invincible for a brief moment

he said lots of teams are trying it during scrims

[final river]

Well it got just got them a full hold

[wary falcon]

bastion

rip mvp

[final river]

could be a bait

[stoic dragon]

bastion without orisa or rein?

[wary falcon]

suicide

[final river]

oh nice they're doing it

[wary falcon]

Obvious throw haha

[supple nymph]

throw

[stoic dragon]

i mean im for bastion on defense, but they didn't comp around him

[final river]

Tilt

[stoic dragon]

which is why bastion is tough to play

[final river]

incoming player replacement

[wary falcon]

he left team chat, picked bastion and refused to repick

remind me of my ranked games

[final river]

yup bastion was spamming his gold medals in chat

[stoic dragon]

"guys i have gold dmg stfu'

[final river]

lol ya

[feral solar]

[supple nymph]

[stoic dragon]

[wary falcon]

[supple nymph]

[stoic dragon]

[wary falcon]

[final river]

the squid is new to me

[feral solar]

i dont wanna watch another map of this sigh

[final river]

[stoic dragon]

man

that emp didn't hit many 😦

[final river]

wow they nearly ended it at first point

[stoic dragon]

baebyeolbe

[wary falcon]

do you believe in full hold on Anubis?

[final river]

Would be a big throw by mvp if they don't cap this

there it is

[feral solar]

sighhhh

[final river]

At least one more

A reverse sweep would be nuts

[wary falcon]

here it goes

3-1

not sure why they lose 2CP

[rapid barn]

i dont understand esports?

[feral solar]

[rapid barn]

well how do u join a esports team why is it called esports what do they do?

[feral solar]

joining a team just depends on what game you play but you just have to start out in smaller teams and if you are good you will get picked up by better ones

[rapid oxide]

Horrible ourfits LH smh

[rapid oxide]

LH understands to dont put Esca on tracer lmao

[supple nymph]

[toxic yacht]

they probably got gido so that they can run triple dps and properly because esca's tracer is too inconsistent

easter 🤦

[rapid oxide]

ESCA LUL - > Gido missing pulse bomb

Twitch chat...

[supple nymph]

-> anything happens

[feral solar]

every LH game is jus that spam

[rapid oxide]

Honestly before they were Esca

[toxic yacht]

they probably said ESCA LUL because he was unlucky and got hit by the pulsebomb

whoru's ults have been... underwhelming

[rapid oxide]

No, Gido miss pulsebomv

[kindred kiln]

aod actually seem to live to their mighty name so far

didn't think it will be an even fight tbh

[pine star]

Mighty AOD doing it?

[feral solar]

ryu is getting bullied 😦

[kindred kiln]

diem seems pretty good so far

[rapid oxide]

Why I've a feeling that LH will lose today?

[kindred kiln]

better than gido

[clever wagon]

WHAT THE FUCK AM I SEEING LOL

WHATTT

[wary falcon]

LH looks so lost

[wary falcon]

i'm going to lose my bet

[supple nymph]

LH got paid off

[strong relic]

LH's coach wasnt wrong when he said Mighty AoD was the best team coming out of challengers

[supple nymph]

[wary falcon]

why Ryujehong don't play Ana?

i understand that zen fits this comp much better

but his Ana's skills superior to his zen

[toxic yacht]

BEATIFUL TRACKING

[floral harness]

Rogue can be qualified with a 3-2 win now right ?

[balmy wolf]

Yes

[clever wagon]

Ah, the triple support mentioned in KR scrims

[kindred kiln]

if it goes like this, rogue won't need to do much at all

[balmy wolf]

If 3 supp worked there

I doubt they'll break it

[floral harness]

Well... Might AOD is shit on payload/hybrid maps

[spring lintel]

Does anyone know which team kaiser is going for?

[rapid oxide]

[wary falcon]

what is this

[edgy remnant]

inb4 team liquid

[supple nymph]

[forest raven]

Well Atlus is a LoL caster I believe

[spring lintel]

I hope it's nrg 😭

But no way

[forest raven]

Why would Kaiser go to NRG

[rapid oxide]

[spring lintel]

Because he is better than numlocked?

[supple nymph]

because they have dollars?

[spring lintel]

And numlocked fucked up?

[wary falcon]

Kaiser needs money

so why not

[spring lintel]

Yeah

[balmy wolf]

He isnt going to NRG

[clever wagon]

Who even said he's going to NRG

[spring lintel]

Yeah

Probably c9

[clever wagon]

[floral harness]

Kaiser will go to C9 it's so obvious

[spring lintel]

I just hope it might be NRG

C9 is gonna be so good

[floral harness]

Gods will switch to dps and Kaiser to main tank. Everything will make sense

[clever wagon]

What's Xepher's role

[toxic yacht]

MIRO

PLS

[pine star]

Off tank

[forest raven]

Flex as well

[clever wagon]

Wait what the fuck?

[spring lintel]

Lucio with the save

[rapid oxide]

Did Rogue pay LH to throw this game or something? I mean they're just getting squashed.

[edgy remnant]

lmao

the whiffs

[toxic yacht]

WHAT THE FUCK MIRO

[spring lintel]

No one noticed how lucio saved that

[clever wagon]

I thought I saw Fate going down? Was it RJH sleep that got to him and not shatter?

[toxic yacht]

ARE YOU PLAYING WITH ONE HAND BEHIND YOUR BACK?

[edgy remnant]

[clever wagon]

Damn these AOD bois

@toxic yacht did you save the clip?

[toxic yacht]

I'm rewatching everything now

[pliant ivy]

[spring lintel]

Why didnt they support ult

Was he ded

[strong relic]

Nano hog > Visor

[pliant ivy]

[toxic yacht]

he got fucking booped by the whole hog, I'll clip it from whoru's POV soon
https://clips.twitch.tv/ResourcefulPoisedMeerkatKippa

[quick urchin]

They had 6 ults and they wasted all

[drowsy arrow]

nice profile pic btw nood 10/10

[pliant ivy]

thanks!

[quick urchin]

Ty

[dusty surge]

Korea pls. How is NA supposed to watch at 6am?

[drowsy arrow]

LUL

facepalm

[pliant ivy]

THE DVA ulti shouldn't be used with roadhog

and the soldier ulti should be used after roadhog

their mistake was they used all together vs DVA

and when dva used the ulti all gone to hiding

[spring lintel]

Man that was so bad

[clever wagon]

@drowsy arrow in #esports oh my

[spring lintel]

The used all the ults together and got nothing

Should have burned the shield first

[pliant ivy]

I think they panicked

[glad chasm]

I think rein blowing ult to try and knock genji down was the biggest mistake

[spring lintel]

Yeah they just thought lets throw everything randomly and we will win

[clever wagon]

Was that LH? I kinda closed the tab

[toxic yacht]

@pliant ivy whoru's POV
https://clips.twitch.tv/SavorySpoopyPineappleKeyboardCat

[drowsy arrow]

@clever wagon best channel

[clever wagon]

Ikr

[pliant ivy]

and yea genji saved the team from the drop dva ulti

[spring lintel]

They wanted hog to push them off the payload so they wont get ot

Thats why they threw everything

[glad chasm]

Didn't mind the early hog ult tbh when they have 6 and to just bait everything out on the LH side

[pliant ivy]

they could get 100% teamkill if they used the ultis right

no need to worry about overtime

[spring lintel]

Everything was used around the hog

[edgy remnant]

oh wow 2 widow

[glad chasm]

Even with that ass pull on Hollywood LH have been kind of underwhelming so far considering who they're playing

[toxic yacht]

also, https://clips.twitch.tv/CrepuscularPoliteJayNinjaGrumpy

[pliant ivy]

classic esca

[toxic yacht]

I mean, LH coach did say that Mighty AOD is going to be very strong

[pine star]

https://twitter.com/Rogue_aKm/status/865548355786620930

Dylan BIGNET (@Rogue_aKm)

They pulled out a Rogue by losing with 6 ults 🤔

Twitter

aKm BMing himself

lul

[pliant ivy]

Haha

[toxic yacht]

lmao

[glad chasm]

Of course the LH coach is going to be respectful about it

[pine star]

He can be respectful and say they suck

Just say "they have this and that weakness"

[glad chasm]

Not really his job to sit there and shit on the other team

[pliant ivy]

what do you think guys? Old rogue or FRA Rogue?

which were better?

[balmy wolf]

Old Rogue

[pliant ivy]

I personally think that the old rogue were far better

[rapid oxide]

^

[pliant ivy]

and also the misfits team

they fucked up

[balmy wolf]

The Three Way Trade fucked everyone over

[forest raven]

🕯 Hidan 🕯

Two Premiere LAN championships to LG Loyal

[supple nymph]

na casters

did i do it right?

[forest raven]

AU caster

[glad chasm]

Who would you say has been the best looking team at apex so far? LW Blue?

[forest raven]

Achilios is actually decent

[pine star]

Achillios is alright

[pliant ivy]

EnvyUS

EFFECT

[pine star]

And PapaSmithy will become a god analyst

He's actually really good in LoL

[rapid oxide]

FUCK I MISS RJH SOMBRA

[glad chasm]

Fate dying with Winston ult there. Oof.

[rapid oxide]

BRB GONNA KMS

[pine star]

RJH Sombra

[supple nymph]

RJH zen 😪

[pliant ivy]

@glad chasm AF Blue was the best team so far for me

[glad chasm]

@pliant ivy I didn't see their first pool match but the last team they played seemed super weak

[supple nymph]

REAPRE

[glad chasm]

Lol what a comp rn

[forest raven]

Reaper isn't actually the worst on Anubis

[supple nymph]

TACTICAL PAWS

EVERY GAME

[pliant ivy]

why they did tactical pause?

after a break?

i was away

[toxic yacht]

Who tac paused?

[supple nymph]

they look really hot maybe they should get AC in there

[pliant ivy]

AOD

better not

cold hands can be fatal

[toxic yacht]

Wait, who won 2cp?

[glad chasm]

Tbh surprised they didn't pause after hollywood

[toxic yacht]

I can't watch rn

[forest raven]

LH

ofc

[toxic yacht]

Ah

[forest raven]

They never lose 2cp

[pliant ivy]

man i was away for 15 min and they lost that fast?

[spring lintel]

LH have never lost 2cp against rogue

AOD too

[pliant ivy]

what happens if rogue win LH?

3 teams 2-1 poss

tiebreak?

[forest raven]

It goes set wins --> map wins --> head-to-head --> tie breaker

[toxic yacht]

This system is confusing af with too many scenario. Depending on how LH wins, how Rogue wins or how kdp vs aod goes results are going to be completely different

[forest raven]

Yeah

With two games left you need a spreadsheet to properly map everything out

[pliant ivy]

so AOD saved rogue with that win

[toxic yacht]

Rogue kinda fucked themselves by losing 2cp

tbh

But based off how the LH match is going they will have some leeway

They also lost 3-1, which gives them a bit if a boost

[pliant ivy]

if kongoo wins 3-0 goes 8-4, if LH wins now 6-4, rogue 4-4. If rogue wins 3-1. 1st 8-4 7-5 7-5 tie break

ah no

rogue second

[glad chasm]

Rogue would then advance due to having the h2h win in that scenario

[pliant ivy]

no tiebreak

ye

So rogue must not lose 2 games

[glad chasm]

So long as LH wins here anyway

[pliant ivy]

ye

[spring lintel]

Omg whoru

[pliant ivy]

what the ... aod

throwing again

[spring lintel]

That was close

[pliant ivy]

is gido better than esca on tracer?

[spring lintel]

Miro was so close to dying

[pliant ivy]

esca ulti again haha

[glad chasm]

I feel like Miro hasn't really played that well here

[supple nymph]

he has one arm tied behind his back

[pliant ivy]

so far LH winning

[glad chasm]

Yeah he must have been serious about that

[spring lintel]

Calling it, whoru is gonna destroy them now

[pliant ivy]

lets see

LH won

[spring lintel]

Nano primal rage

[glad chasm]

Aod just can't handle triple dps

[pliant ivy]

come on rogue you can do it now

[supple nymph]

that dude has some glasses

[toxic yacht]

I'm just happy that LH lost a map, lul

Makes it easier for my baguette men

[pliant ivy]

yep

[supple nymph]

https://puu.sh/vUXqd/8bd0a2e3cb.png

[glad chasm]

More than that LH didn't exactly look like world beaters here

[pliant ivy]

you cant expect a team to be 100%

expect SKT1 on LoL

[glad chasm]

Wow what epic matches on Tuesday as well!

[pliant ivy]

epic?

more like losers match and I bet envyus will win 3-0

[supple nymph]

rhinos gaming wings = chicken wings?

[pliant ivy]

damnit

blizzard hurry up with OWL

we only see quality matches on APEX

gl with that

[toxic yacht]

Ah, exactly the same situation like Misfits then

[wary falcon]

LH looked shaky

But 1-3...

[balmy wolf]

http://i.imgur.com/PrNS15M.png

[onyx shore]

what happen?

[pliant ivy]

[forest raven]

If Rogue 3-2's LH they need AOD to beat KDP

Because that would mean Rogue is 2-1 while KDP is 1-2

[onyx shore]

lel

3-0 ing LH...

hahahahahah

[forest raven]

Fun fact: If Rogue 3-1's and KDP 3-1's, LH does not advance to playoffs

[pliant ivy]

yep

it could be nice

because EnvyUs and Rogue have more changes to win s3

if they win AF Blue

[forest raven]

If Rogue 3-1's LH: Rogue is 2-1/7-5, LH is 2-1/7-6

[pliant ivy]

7-5 both

wrong

[forest raven]

LH is currently 6-3

Rogue is currently 4-4

Rogue wins 3 games and lose 1 game, they go to 7-5. LH wins 1 game and loses 3 games they go to 7-6

[pliant ivy]

ye my mistake

[glad chasm]

3-1 is somewhat doable at least with the way LH looked here

[pliant ivy]

I thought LH had 2 loses

they just need to win the first 2 maps 100%

[balmy wolf]

They would have been down 2-0 if AOD didnt fucking throw holly with 6 ults

[pliant ivy]

yea

they panicked

using 5 ulties at the same time

[glad chasm]

The rein ult there was really bad

[pliant ivy]

they should used soldier's ulti to take down genji

[balmy wolf]

It wasnt though

Whoru got booped away from it

They nano'd whole hog instead of visor

and had a terrible beat

If they were more coordinated they would have won for sure

[pliant ivy]

yea bad idea with meka dva alive

anyway

they learned that in hard way

[glad chasm]

The rein still decided to ult mid boop and targeted the genji while doing so. There's really no defense for that. Just a panic play and a complete whiff.

Lets hope for OWL

[paper obsidian]

Do we have anymore info on OWL or just the fact that it exists

james harding

the one who got fired by gaben

lel

submitted 1 year ago by GabeNewellBellevue x13

Two things:

1. James. We've had issues with James at previous events. Some Valve people lobbied to bring him back for Shanghai, feeling that he deserved another chance. That was a mistake. James is an ass, and we won't be working with him again.

2. As long as we're firing people, we are also firing the production company that we've been working with on the Shanghai Major. They will be replaced, and we hope to get this turned around before the main event.

As always, I can be reached at gaben@dry sundialvesoftware.com.

Gabe

he basically fired from hosting dota2 major event becos of his behaviour while being a host

like imagine you're a host on valve major event

and you talked about "cunts" and "watching porn on your hotel room"

on air

[pure kettle]

seems like the type of non-PC man we need now adays 😏

[onyx shore]

well

not in formal event

[limber pine]

I"m just wondering about his connection to OW teams and how he would know more teams are dropping out

[pure kettle]

mind im just talking about the "Cunts" and "watching porn" part, no idea how he is other then that

[limber pine]

rather than simply common sense

[pure kettle]

probably is kinda awful 😛

[onyx shore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FNyAsRfP7Q

just watch this

lol

[rapid oxide]

Overwatch Porn League

[pure kettle]

based on search results on some of those sites.....they very well could make their own league 😬

[supple nymph]

LMAO

[forest raven]

I can't get over the fact that if Rogue 3-1's LH, it's incredibly likely LH doesn't proceed to playoffs

[rapid oxide]

[forest raven]

Rogue 3-1's LH, all KDP has to do is beat AOD

Because both KDP and Rogue will have superior map scores to LH

[rapid oxide]

Rogue 3-1's LH

that's the problem

[forest raven]

There's always a chance

[rapid oxide]

we said the same thing for Misfits

[forest raven]

It's not a big chance

But nothing is inevitable

[rapid oxide]

the word "Impossible" cointaint "I'm possible"

Rogue could do it

but honestly... im pessimistic about it

hope i'm wrong

[forest raven]

I mean it makes sense to be pessimistic about something with a small chance of occurring

[onyx shore]

well,if rogue doesnt make it

[rapid oxide]

dont want to read everywhere how koreans are the best, hail lord koreans

[onyx shore]

there's still envyus

well,competitions are good

but the better team will win

[rapid oxide]

everyone turns into fellatio enthusiast towards koreans

annoying

[forest raven]

And if nV comes out of their group as top seed, which is quite likely, they have a big chance of selecting their group and opponent

[onyx shore]

well,the ideal final for ogn is korean team vs western team

[forest raven]

Yeah

[onyx shore]

but you can't blame the koreans if they're that good

[pliant ivy]

Well if koreans will dominate on this game also

[onyx shore]

ofc it's kinda boring

[pliant ivy]

I'm out

[onyx shore]

but it's up to other teams to git gud

that's competition

[pliant ivy]

Ye but it's boring

[onyx shore]

these players are playing for victory

not for our entertainment

[pliant ivy]

Sports = entertainment. More entertainment for us, more profit for players

[onyx shore]

yeah,but the players play for victory/prize

just like athletes

they compete for championship

[pliant ivy]

Man the more popular is the sport, the more prize will be

[last lantern]

This is truw

Just look at dota

[onyx shore]

yeah

[rapid oxide]

well... SKT T1 are stomping

but its a popular game

and heavly KR dominated

[pliant ivy]

Wonder why dota do well?

[rapid oxide]

Dota doesnt do well compared to LoL

[pliant ivy]

Because westerns win

[onyx shore]

nah

[pliant ivy]

Dota Esports > LoL

[onyx shore]

last TI winner was from asia

[pliant ivy]

but westerns win also

[rapid oxide]

I agree with you Eluhil, Dota is better

[onyx shore]

and dota is easier to spectate

but

[rapid oxide]

but you can't deny that LOL is more relevant than Dota

[onyx shore]

the game is kinda long

[pliant ivy]

And LoL Worlds 0 westerns champions

[onyx shore]

that's why i prefer overwatch

[rapid oxide]

Dota is not doing well at all

lots of endemic org and sponsor arent investing on Dota

wont call it "doing well"

just because TI poolprize is milions?

irrelevant

[pliant ivy]

Because LoL is easier to watch than DotA

[rapid oxide]

Dota is easier to watch

From HUD, for the graphics

[pliant ivy]

For me no. Well everyone has opinions

[onyx shore]

so,

[rapid oxide]

sure and i respect yours

[onyx shore]

what constitutes "doing well" ?

[rapid oxide]

some say OW is hard but its not for me

and viceversa

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pliant ivy]

OW is easy for me

[rapid oxide]

for a lot its not

imo also because people are fucking lazy

and dismiss it as a clusterfuck

the same i do with lol

so i understand them

[onyx shore]

it is clusterfuck

you keepi missing so many actions

but tbh

[rapid oxide]

on moba i hardly understand what's going on

[onyx shore]

i dont really know how it could be improved

[rapid oxide]

team color

in my top list

[onyx shore]

how could overwatch spectating be better?

like i have no idea

any example?

[pliant ivy]

https://slingshotesports.com/2017/05/18/tsm-sign-overwatch-streamers-aimbotcalvin/

Lol

[onyx shore]

like

i watch csgo pro games for few minutes

[pliant ivy]

Gotta go guys

cya later

[onyx shore]

and i dont see any major differences

[ripe marlin]

csgo spectating is great and mlg leaves you the option to watch each player directly

i actually kinda wish ow does something like that for the owl except poor lucios wont get much screen time

[pliant ivy]

They will do

Blizzard owns MLG

[toxic yacht]

If nV wins people will still suck KR dick because of effect

It's kind of a lose-lose situation in that respect

Oh well, that's what happens if literally the only way to compare the two region's skill is in a tournament where western teams are outnumbered 1:7

Two more teams to go

[toxic yacht]

eUnited is the next

[pliant ivy]

Premier or major?

Nvm found it major it is

[toxic yacht]

I have my suspicions about the last team because of... reasons, but I'm not gonna say it. It's an NA team though

[solid spear]

Kungarna

I got you Sojum

[pine star]

[toxic yacht]

My mouth will stay zipped

[pliant ivy]

No envyus on that tourney yet?

It would be awesome

[toxic yacht]

The tournament starts a day after an apex match for nV

I don't know if they'd really want to subject themselves to that

I think that they got an invite and declined it

[forest raven]

The Overwatch TakeOver 2 LAN Championship will take place from the 1st - 4th June, 2017. 8 teams will compete for a US$50 000 prize pool.

All eight teams have been announced:
🇫🇷 Rogue
🇫🇮 Ninjas in Pyjamas
🇸🇪 Misfits
🇰🇷 Cloud 9
🇪🇺 Movistar Riders
🇪🇺 Cyclown
🇪🇺 Hollywood Hammers
🇪🇺 eUnited

http://takeover.taketv.net/

[balmy wolf]

why Cloud9 of all people

[supple nymph]

only team with enough $ left to fly there?

[toxic yacht]

Oh yeah, my reasoning behind eU is the fact that they mysteriously dropped out of the qualifiers

[balmy wolf]

@supple nymph LG can certainly fly their team there

so is IMT

[supple nymph]

can they afford to fly back after?

[balmy wolf]

yes?

those two orgs have some money

either way, would be interesting to see Cloud9 in a situation where they are surrounded from all sides

[forest raven]

I just don't know how much time they'll have to gel properly with their new sixth

Before TakeOver begins

[balmy wolf]

yeah

new roster, all EU opponents that would want to murder them, etc etc

[forest raven]

It'd be a good trial by fire I guess

[vestal mortar]

Indeed

[balmy wolf]

of course

inb4 Cloud9 get flunked out of the group stages

and the meme "NA OW" continues to live

[forest raven]

There is no group stage

[balmy wolf]

straight to double elims? Well, good fucking luck then, C9

[vestal mortar]

😮

[balmy wolf]

also, Rogue needs to win 3-1 again LH

why is this scenario familiar now

fuckin' hell, APEX

[forest raven]

Theoretically, Rogue can still go to playoffs while beating LH 3-2 or even losing to LH

[balmy wolf]

only if AOD won against KDP

[forest raven]

Yeah

This was the Misfits situation btw http://i.imgur.com/ykelvPP.png

[balmy wolf]

AOD took a map off of LH earlier, no?

[forest raven]

Yep

[balmy wolf]

cool

[clever wagon]

Haha

[balmy wolf]

there might be some hope there, but goddamn if it isn't small

meanwhile nV imported a KR and sat on a favored group now that they beat Meta Athena

[glad chasm]

LH didn't look that great in that match though

Might be some hope

[forest raven]

Rogue 3-1's LH: Rogue is 2-1/7-5, LH is 2-1/7-6

[toxic yacht]

Invites were sent out a while back

c9 probably accepted before nuking selly

[solid spear]

map system is still dumb imo

in the case of a 2 way tie head to head should determine it

but whatever

[balmy wolf]

APEX system leaves a lot to be desired.

BO3 KOTH, for example

like why

[glad chasm]

Yeah but if you don't use the map system there and say rogue does beat LH regardless of MC then you have a clusterfuck 3 way tie with them all being 1-1 against each other

[balmy wolf]

3-1 Lunatic Hai is going to be a hard task

but goddamn if i don't hype about this rematch

they are 1-1 historically

[young vortex]

Anyone want to join team sabertooth in the ROAD TO EGX tournament? you must live in the uk. https://roadto.egx.net/ details here

[glad chasm]

I think rogue probably would have 3-1 LH if they played today with the level LH was playing at

[pliant ivy]

@forest raven Rogue is NA team

[balmy wolf]

"NA" with a French roster

I'd rather they invite LG Evil and IMT for their last two slots

[pine star]

Well, EnVy is an NA team

[solid spear]

yes

they are

[forest raven]

The flags are for the nationalities of the roster

[pliant ivy]

Ah

[balmy wolf]

nV and Rogue is basically smurfing in NA now

wrong

fucking

chat

channel.

@forest raven do your modding duty plz

lol

[toxic yacht]

Hammers is also gonna start smurfing soon, lol

[balmy wolf]

Hammers, not so much

they could just pull an LG Loyal for all we know

[vestal mortar]

[forest raven]

They're not changing their roster

[balmy wolf]

not disbanding

but rather "imported an EU roster to NA soil and proceed fail all the tournys"

[toxic yacht]

Well, LG was always supposed to move back to Canada after they picked up their EU roster post-NRG

Then the whole 3-way trade happened

And the got the stub of the stick

So they always kind of underperformed post trade

[balmy wolf]

they had Kryw and Hidan traded, only Hidan stayed because apparently Kryw is a mercurial bastard. Then they imported Ube instead off of the EU ladder

for the most part that roster had been EU since forever even post trade

but they didn't manage to smurf NA at all

lolz

[toxic yacht]

I mean, hammers is actually doing well. LGL was always mediocre.

[balmy wolf]

above average, maybe

failed to reach playoff in PIT

and reached the final of TakeOver2 qualifier twice before getting beat by other teams

the addition of Nesh seems really jumpstarted the team though

[toxic yacht]

Well, movistar and ex-cyclone are two of the strongest teams in EU atm, but I can see where you're coming from

[balmy wolf]

I'm kind of surprised about ex Cyclone since they also did pretty shit in PIT

Movistar is no brainer

right now EU just need more online or LAN to really look at teams properly

but OWL is killing the scene so 😴

[solid spear]

well Sojum to be fair before the big trade they were a top 6 or so team in EU

they were good

[toxic yacht]

At least Blizz is finally licencing tournaments here, lol

[solid spear]

they werent always mediocre

[toxic yacht]

It only took a one of the best EU teams jumping ship and the entire scene grinding to a halt

Well, yeah, their pre-trade roster was good, but I'm mostly referring to post trade

[balmy wolf]

the importing of Ube in hindsight was a

[toxic yacht]

It's also a bit hard to stand out when your competition are literally Rogue, Misfits, FaZe and NiP during those metas, specifically beyblade

I actually remember flame saying the same thing

He was like "Picking up Ube was lol"

[balmy wolf]

I remember Ube was one of those ladder warriors with really high SR

[toxic yacht]

I know that he used to be on LDLC

[balmy wolf]

yeah, but LG Royal instead of getting a Dafran, they got an average Genji and above average Hog

and they stuck with him for so long too
