last lantern
#

like why was zp not voted in

#

and then for canada ofc poke and huk get voted in again

rapid oxide
fierce geode
#

honestly i think zp has too polarizing of a personality

#

jason kaplan is a pretty level guy but at the end of the day his last name could be what got him on the committee

rapid oxide
#

^

last lantern
#

yeah but he actually had a plan as to how he would run the comitte

fierce geode
#

he still would have only been 1/3 of it

last lantern
#

true jk was entirely that

rapid oxide
#

Keep in mind that ow casuals are braindamaged

fierce geode
#

and the other two could have their own plans

last lantern
#

very much so

fierce geode
#

i mean it's weird though having one member in germany and one in korea

#

and one in the USA

rapid oxide
#

You have to be fucking retarded to belive that the Lead of OW will waste time doing owc

last lantern
#

did they think it was his brother or something

fierce geode
#

i doubt most of the voters put much thought into the voting

rapid oxide
#

So? Even if he was his brother or smth...

last lantern
#

im trying to understand how idiotic u have to be

#

to believe that the lead developer would tank part in the their own game event

rapid oxide
#

Destroy some of your braincells

#

*most of them

#

MAYBE you could understand

fierce geode
#

damn the salt in this chat is unbelievable

rapid oxide
#

Anyway... NA issue, not mine MEGALUL

last lantern
#

which country?

rapid oxide
#

Italy lul

last lantern
#

i mean im canadian so it might be even worse for us

rapid oxide
#

You have a plenty of talented people

balmy wolf
#

Slasher "no serious teams stream their tryout"

rapid oxide
#

But... Huk FeelsLifeMan

fierce geode
#

why do you guys even fret about it lmao

rapid oxide
#

@balmy wolf yeah, germany and thailand are retarded indeed /s

last lantern
#

yeah at least canada has sick players

toxic yacht
#

they probably didn't think that it was jeff

#

they saw a bunch of names that they didn't recognize

#

and just voted what looked cool

rapid oxide
#

Ster is popular

toxic yacht
#

OMG STER IS KEWL STRIMMER

rapid oxide
#

So i could understand

toxic yacht
#

KYKY HAS A COOL NAME

balmy wolf
#

Jkaplan? Must be Jeff

fierce geode
#

most people know envy

toxic yacht
#

THIS GUY HAS THE SAME NAME LIKE OUR GLORIOUS KING GOD EMPEROR

rapid oxide
#

DADDY KAPLAN

fierce geode
#

so there's a good chance they know the coach

rapid oxide
#

๐Ÿ†

toxic yacht
#

I mean, no one knows coaches from teams

#

I'm really into esports and I barely know coaches

balmy wolf
#

Jason Kaplan turned out to be the smartest of the bunch but then he got shit on by Slasher and other pros idiots

fierce geode
#

they know kyky from c9 as well

rapid oxide
#

They had to point it easly

toxic yacht
#

if anything they'd know him from c9

rapid oxide
#

Like :envy coach

#

:content creator

toxic yacht
#

but you overestimate the knowledge of your average OW player

rapid oxide
#

:caster

fierce geode
#

@balmy wolf i agree but i still like ster's dedication

last lantern
#

i doubt these ppl know who kyky is

fierce geode
#

i think you underestimate it bud

#

a ton of people watching the last OWC

#

that's how a lot of people got into esports

rapid oxide
#

That was 1 year ago

fierce geode
#

exactly

#

plenty of time to get to know more about the esport

rapid oxide
#

How ppl remember kyky

toxic yacht
#

most people just watched the cup and forgot about ow esports

balmy wolf
#

Stylosa dedicated at making OW videos and I don't think anyone said anything about underestimate him

#

๐Ÿค”

toxic yacht
#

only a relatively small amount actually got interested, comparetively

last lantern
#

kyky is probably the only one that deserves to be on the comittee

rapid oxide
#

I have to admit that some casuals are waiting for OWL to dive into esport

balmy wolf
#

I'm still bitter about that whole voting episode

last lantern
#

so am i

balmy wolf
#

not when even fucking Seagull pointed out that streaming tryouts was a golden opportunity

rapid oxide
#

If even, not some, a lot

#

Lets be real

toxic yacht
#

it was a golden opportunity

#

but noooo

rapid oxide
#

Except for APEX

last lantern
#

im just glad blizzard decided not to let them idiot hivemind vote for players this time

rapid oxide
#

The average user dont know other tournaments

#

Only the super harecore like us

last lantern
#

like some of the teams were a complete shitshow

#

even the average user may not watch apex

#

as the games are very early for est

rapid oxide
#

Because of time most of the time

balmy wolf
#

UK voted in for Stylosa

#

wew lad

rapid oxide
#

We can complain how much we want

#

But we have to be thankful this guys bring casuals on esport

last lantern
#

until one of us gets hired at blizzard

#

we cant do anything

fierce geode
#

is this message board a place for people to come and bitch about esports or discuss? cause i'm seeing a whole lot of bitching

rapid oxide
#

We are passionate

fierce geode
#

lmao

last lantern
#

we are salty ppl

fierce geode
#

that's getting closer to the truth

last lantern
#

salt is good

rapid oxide
#

Most of the time passions lead to extreme feelings

last lantern
#

better than blind faith

rapid oxide
#

Or overly salty or overly happy

last lantern
#

skeptism >>>>>>>>>>>>>> blind ignorance

rapid oxide
#

"OWL will fail"

balmy wolf
#

I'm still mad over that streaming episode because a. Jason is my guy and b. That thread had my convo with him

fierce geode
#

lol why do people always have to go from one side to the polar opposite

rapid oxide
fierce geode
#

you don't have to be skeptical OR have blind faith

#

you can be a little bit of both

rapid oxide
#

"OWL will fail but im not sure"

fierce geode
#

i wish they streamed tryouts but if the players dont want to then thats fiune

#

idk how it is in italy but real life isn't black or white it's always somewhere in the middle

last lantern
#

el fuego majority of the ow playerbase is ignorant

fierce geode
#

yeah i'm seeing that right now

last lantern
#

im with u that its not about extreames

#

idk if u watched the oversight episode with surefour

#

but thorin and monte basically summed it up way better than i ever could

fierce geode
#

oh jesus monte is a huge negative nancy

rapid oxide
#

Like if the other game playerbase are anyhow better

last lantern
#

yeah

#

league and cs is arguably worse

rapid oxide
#

Monte is very positive rn

fierce geode
#

on a less bitchy note i thought c9 looked really good with like 3 days of practice

last lantern
#

very true

#

surefour's mcree looked incredible as always

fierce geode
#

i wasnt sure who was gonna win in the lge vs c9 game

last lantern
#

he actually did a better job against shrugger on mccree than on soldier

rapid oxide
#

cough NRG cough

last lantern
#

i feel bad for iddqd and for harb

fierce geode
#

on one hand i wanted to see lge do better than before to show they were improving but on the other hand i really wanted to see kaiser be an improvment to c9

last lantern
#

cuz seagull brought them

#

then he just left

#

i think lge has hude potential

rapid oxide
#

They would fail with seagull too

fierce geode
#

that hanzo on hollywood point a was brilliant

balmy wolf
#

people in pro scenes had advised Seagull to just streaming

#

because they know what a dumpster fire NRG as an org is

#

surprise he didn't do it sooner.

fierce geode
#

it's better for esports to have seagull as a streamer

last lantern
#

nrg in rocket leage is apparently good

#

well seagull always bring lots of viewers to tourneys

rapid oxide
#

And Smite too

last lantern
#

LUL

rapid oxide
#

He always could join as coach

#

On other teams

#

And focus more on streaming

#

Can't deny he's really good in strategy and ult economy

#

His skill went downhill

#

Or simply more people are equally good

balmy wolf
#

within the NA scene he actually filled a good niche with his hero pool.

#

too bad those his results have been garbage

#

apparently early in NRG lifetime when they were still in LG

#

Seagull signed with them and expressively said that Dummy had to be signed as well

#

iirc

#

of course we all know the result of that

rapid oxide
#

Best decision ever haha

balmy wolf
#

Hence why I wonder if the reason Dummy still in NRG is because of Seagull covering for him

#

not because NRG is better in scrims

vestal mortar
rapid oxide
#

Not smth impossible. Seagull is still under contract

#

And his contract could state that dummy cant be kicked or smth

supple nymph
#

LOL

rapid oxide
#

Just speculate

supple nymph
#

could his contract say that but also let seagull not play at all ?

#

hilarious

balmy wolf
#

btw, this tryout is pretty lit. When people tuned in to Seagull stream it make me want to choke someone when they said that their stream team comm was the normal thing

#

meanwhile the German team's comm is fucking spotlessly clean

toxic yacht
#

I'm guessing that seagull negotiated for a very favourable contract

#

since he's one of the few people who can actually afford to do that

vestal mortar
#

Yee

rapid oxide
#

And Seagull brings views to NRG

last lantern
#

well i mean each star team has their players

toxic yacht
#

where can you see the german teams strimming?

rapid oxide
#

NRG could keep him as streamer

balmy wolf
last lantern
#

on nv its taimou

toxic yacht
#

thank

balmy wolf
last lantern
#

and C9 its S4

toxic yacht
#

Veineless Heartato

last lantern
#

reign where is that from

toxic yacht
#

huh, no nesh?

rapid oxide
#

Eiss

toxic yacht
#

I'm guessing that they'll try him later, maybe?

balmy wolf
#

@toxic yacht preparing for TakeTV remember?

toxic yacht
#

oh yeah

balmy wolf
#

@last lantern my own source

last lantern
#

ah ok

balmy wolf
#

either way, team Germany's comm is pretty clean cut

toxic yacht
#

yeah, none of these guys is at takeover iirc

last lantern
#

takeover will be so fun to watch

#

most interesting western tournament since OW open

rapid oxide
#

Nip is in Germany already

balmy wolf
#

this is regarding Esper btw

last lantern
#

who was esper?

toxic yacht
#

esper was LG's healer

last lantern
#

sorry bad memory

toxic yacht
#

back in the day

last lantern
#

ohhhh yes

toxic yacht
#

before they got indust and then dummy

last lantern
#

yes i remember

#

yeah i remember

balmy wolf
#

remember that Thoorin's video?

#

most of that was also truth as well

#

even if he fucked up the timeline

last lantern
#

he was on mix^ with them right originally right?

balmy wolf
#

yes.

toxic yacht
#

yee

wintry matrix
#

ok, i fucking doubt it, there's no fucking way anyone listens to twitch chat

last lantern
#

alot of people do

wintry matrix
#

I mean, if it was something about who's more popular it would make a sliver of sense, but a competitive team?

last lantern
#

you underestimate the ignorance of some people

balmy wolf
#

back when it was his girlfriend doing the management too, mind you

wintry matrix
#

besides, by that logic Seagull would had send Dummy to anywhere else but NRG due to the amount of shit dummy got

#

at that point it seems way more likely it's just fake gossip

#

or at least half-truths

#

(which the medium is plentiful of)

balmy wolf
#

I mean, you have people that expressively defend the decision to not stream tryouts because they don't want people to get sway by fuckin' twitch chat

wintry matrix
#

i mean, it makes sense if you think that maybe the players don't wanna stream

balmy wolf
#

so clearly, twitch chat can influence people, even if we know it shouldn't be.

wintry matrix
#

i mean, it sucks, but it actually isn't really that bad of a decision

#

one thing is not streaming because you don't want to deal with twitch chat annoying you to death, another is actively looking for the chat to deal with team stuff

balmy wolf
#

and then you have Seagull.

#

and LG.

#

and never underestimate stupidity

wintry matrix
#

can you explain it? i'm out of the loop on that

balmy wolf
#

i mean the two screenshots I have is pretty much what I said.

#

and back then it was before Dummy was exposed as a shit support.

#

so right now he is just grandfathering his way into a spot

#

in NRG that he should be cut long time ago

wintry matrix
#

not to accuse you or anything, but i don't really trust that kind of gossip

#

especially me who thinks the pro scene is full people waiting to backstab each other

vestal mortar
#

Same

toxic yacht
#

I like to hear it because it's interesting af, but I'm not a big fan of it tbh

#

especially since it's always a bunch of he-said she-said

#

and half truths

balmy wolf
#

the truths always will be somewhere in the shadow

#

and people will choose to believe what they want to believe anyway

toxic yacht
#

yeah, truth is probably something in between

#

normally

vestal mortar
#

I agree with Sojum ๐Ÿ˜›

balmy wolf
#

I mean the whole episode with Mendo vs ZP was kind of comical

#

until you realized Minstrel of all people actually confirmed ZP's account

#

of Mendo trying to pull a coup in C9

toxic yacht
#

yee, minstrel confirmed it before the entire drama even started

vestal mortar
#

Minstrel seems to like to randomly appear and "confirm" drama, I am not a fan.

toxic yacht
#

he made an off-hand reference to people wanting other people off the team etc during Mendo's tryouts on NRG

fierce geode
#

either way why was a caster getting involved in player drama?

toxic yacht
#

that was like, a month before what ZP said

fierce geode
#

zp lost all my respect after that regardless if he was right

toxic yacht
#

but yeah, Minstrel honestly talks too much

balmy wolf
#

Mendo was shitting on ZP earlier in the chat

#

so ZP just clapped back, basically

#

too bad people never screenshotted that part

fierce geode
#

from what i heard mendo was shitting on zp for something he had said prior

#

so either way they're both at fault

#

only problem is that mendo is a kid and a player but zp is one of the faces of overwatch esports

toxic yacht
#

I think they were both dumbasses, but ZP should know better than to get into such player drama and airing his dirty laundry

balmy wolf
#

From what I've heard, Minstrel just gives no fuck about his gossips. He done it when he was in Team Liquid.

fierce geode
#

some level of professionalism is required

#

^^^ exactly sojum

balmy wolf
#

drama in OW is always overblown until someone starts winning

#

and suddenly everyone shut their mouth like clams

#

exhibit A: Taimou

#

exhibit B: YIKES and xQC

toxic yacht
#

yeah, minstrel has been casually revealing shit since I knew his name

balmy wolf
#

@toxic yacht anything he said lately in flamecord?

fierce geode
#

i dont really care about the drama side of it but to know that one of the people casting during the games is a juvenile then i just can't sit and watch

toxic yacht
#

nope, didn't see him say anything too special lately

#

I'm not even sure if I saw him recently

balmy wolf
#

yeah @fierce geode, and then you have xQC/Rise made themselves into an idiot during that episode vs BK Stars and I don't think anyone even remember.

#

to say that "oh I can't watch him/her because he has done X" in the past is kind of meaningless

toxic yacht
#

I still can't really like Yikes thanks to that

#

And to an extent rise

#

that was just childish and retarded af

#

but yeah, most people seem to have forgotten about the drama

fierce geode
#

@balmy wolf those are players though

#

not the casters

#

the people literally talking over the whole game

balmy wolf
#

doesn't make them less fucking guilty

fierce geode
#

i just watch the games on mute

balmy wolf
#

Taimou even had said the n words on stream but nobody cares because he is fuckin' Taimou

red anvil
#

I want to like envy, but i cant because of the way taimou behaves

fierce geode
#

i would NOT watch a game if taimou was casting

#

that's my point

#

i agree with kaku

balmy wolf
#

casters cast, players play. That's their job.

fierce geode
#

i like the KR casters

#

and some of the "stream" casters for NA tourneys

#

the observing sucks though

balmy wolf
#

Basically if you hate casters to cast (which is doing their job), then giving the players the pass for just "playing" is downright silly

fierce geode
#

we all formulate our opinions on the players as we will but we dont have to listen to them talk the whole time and we can take enjoyment in when they get killed ๐Ÿ˜„

balmy wolf
#

of course until they pulled a Dafran.

fierce geode
#

imagine having to sit in a room with someone you don't like for whatever reason and have to listen to them talk and talk and talk

#

but you could never talk back

#

that's my point

balmy wolf
#

ZP and Hex are still better casters

#

so not listening to one of them just because of some spat in the past is silly

#

I don't fucking like xQC and his band of idiots

fierce geode
#

not just the spat

#

there's always been something about zp i didnt like

balmy wolf
#

but I still tolerate them because they plays well.

fierce geode
#

that spat just confirmed it

clever wagon
#

What will OW have left if the comp scene is in limbo, Contenders + League still vague and worst of it all.... NO DRAMA????

#

C'mon man

balmy wolf
#

lol

#

now it is just confirmation bias now isn't it.

fierce geode
#

nah man just listen to the games on super low volume

balmy wolf
#

shrugs

fierce geode
#

way more entertaining that way

balmy wolf
#

then again though people have always had a bias to the players so this is no surprise.

clever wagon
#

You can't pull out the only lifeline this... entity is trying to survive on

fierce geode
#

kinda surviving on streamers let's be honest

#

calvin has been bringing a lot of league viewers to OW

toxic yacht
#

the red team in germany, the one with veineless and eisfeldt is reking the blue one

#

lol

balmy wolf
#

hype, Nesh will come in to try out for second block

toxic yacht
#

nice

balmy wolf
#

SKipjack is more or less set as well apparently

#

and also, even with team full of Germans

#

they used English comm

#

must be habits from playing with other nationalities

toxic yacht
#

their comms are geman overall, but all ability names are still in english

#

also, yeah, terms like "low"

#

definitely habits from playing with english speaking people

#

"tracer one hit" etc

balmy wolf
#

oh god the "let's transdence/sound barrier at the same time"

toxic yacht
#

another reason why they use english terms is also because they just rolls off the tongue easier

#

during the rare moment when I play with friends I also stick to english terms. I even use english terms when talking about OW, now that I think of it

balmy wolf
#

this is pretty fun to watch

#

despite the facts I can't understand the german side of the comm

toxic yacht
#

you probably understood most of it anyway

rapid oxide

We'll also be bringing the Sombra and Symmetra voice actresses on stream after the first or second series (TBD) to ask them a few questions about their experiences with Overwatch.

why there's korean text in twitch chat? is a new meme or there's legit korean people watching (and commenting)

There are a lot of koreans that watch OW

an online NA tourney?

tho i suppose Kaiser and Xepehr can bring a few

No

toxic yacht
#

I'm not really jumping on the yikes hype train though

#

not a big fan due to their previous shit

#

and it's too early for that

solid spear
#

I dont like them at all

#

And they had good tournament but it's just classic NA inconsistency

balmy wolf
#

mind you

#

YIKES came into prominence while having Silkthread doing a service

#

and while they looked unstoppable for like 2 days, and then they just got beat by RNG, who failed to qualify for the OMM this month

toxic yacht
#

yup

crisp lynx
#

break time is too long Thinkong

toxic yacht
#

they got boosted by silkthread

balmy wolf
#

even if you asked Silkthread himself he'd say that he was the problem when vs Rogue, but eh

toxic yacht
#

although they looked pretty solid with their current roster during the latest OMM

solid spear
#

Lost to LGE 2-0 last week, 2-0 to Kungarna and now RNG

toxic yacht
#

lul

#

it's not like they got stomped

solid spear
#

I never said they did

#

Just that theyre still inconsistent

toxic yacht
#

yee

balmy wolf
#

the old NA hype cycle

#

T2 beating each other

#

reddit get hyped up

#

then nV and Rogue returns to bully everyone else

#

and the hype died.

#

meanwhile over in the EU T1 is actually interesting to watch

#

while T2 kind of languished

solid spear
#

NA is just really deep

balmy wolf
#

"deep"

#

hearing taimou talk about na teams is enlightening

#

what does he say?

#

that they're all garbage

#

and that watching this is making him worse

#

everytime they come back from apex they get worse when they stomp these NA teams

#

NA teams are still largely players run

#

which means that more often than not there isn't a figure that tell these players to stop do certain shits

Tbh if you don't win you threw.

lol all the throw talk

gusty notch

this game especially in NA is just who throws less

#

and yeah hanzo was a throw

#

RNG had grav and dragon combo

#

and mangachu just throws it somewhere else without grav

civic marsh
#

iirc grav wasn't up yet but it was close so yeah, that was a mistake

#

but the hanzo worked out overall

gusty notch
#

worked against yikes cause they were playing bad

but like rng did so much stupid shit today lol

their long ass push on hollywood was so bad

what are these renegade long drawn out pushes

Who will bm first though?

Do teams BM each other to try to tilt known ragers?

civic marsh

some players bm

some of selfless are known for it

tiltiing the enemy team is a vialbe strategy

especially when they're keyboard typers

dusty surge

I mean... it's not professional though.

small basin
#

what do you expect?

dusty surge
#

So I'm curious how much of that happens at this level.

small basin
#

This is a bunch of young guys playing a video game

#

its not professional at all

dusty surge
#

Fair, but I would expect a little more sportsmanship. Any BM stuff, at least to me, just comes off as shallow and shitter-like rather than tilting.

#

Again, at the pro level. Below that... eh. Grab bag.

civic marsh
#

it's quite a divisive topic

#

some people enjoy the "storylines" it creates, others don't like it

pine star

We see this in professional traditional sports

C'mon.

I find it super annoying, unless it's injokes

it's twitch chat mentality

I'd rather they do more player interviews

digital pond

It had more counter play before she was made invulnerable

amber ember

is this a year ago

small basin

Its not just killing mercy but killing her at the right time and then following up fast enough

digital pond

Now you can't even kill her when she goes to rez

small basin

for her not just to respawn and do it anyway.

doesnt matter

then the fight drags out and she comes back from spawn and rezzes her team

small basin

mercy respawns

she comes back

and resses more.

Res is an ult that should lose charge on death imo

I'm not tbh

idk

As much as people will only remember the score, Rogue's games were rather close

Even if they lost.

The gap is much closer in OW then it ever was in LoL

The gap was close in LoL at the beginning as well

balmy wolf

The gap will just keep getting further and further

it depends on the team. we don't have anyone on par with korea's best but it's not that extreme

we cant do anything about it

If you look historically

balmy wolf

but Korea will always be on top

pine star
#

LoL was exactly like OW rn

digital pond
#

I mean it always comes down to structure and esport support

pine star
#

Back in the day

digital pond
#

Infrastructure + mentality is always positive for them when going into esport

#

And much different.

pine star
#

Except the korean imports came much earlier in OW

delicate sparrow
#

it's just work ethic tbh. half the western teams can't get it together unless they're in a LAN

digital pond
#

It comes from the pressure players have also.

#

They're basically super stars with all eyes on them in the country.

#

They get publicity deals have bilboards etc etc

#

They feels responsable for their performance and image.

pine star
#

We're already kinda seeing that in OW

#

That's my point

#

And that's what I meant with "slowly becoming like LoL"

digital pond
#

Yeah, I mean i'm hoping some more structure comes to the west

#

But it's possible v0v

#

Or EU will come raging in like in CS:Go

balmy wolf
#

I wouldnt really doubt that if KR took CSGO seriously they would also dominate that

pine star
#

The only reason KR doesn't dominates CS:GO is because they don't play CS:GO lul

delicate sparrow

I hope OWL will make everyone get their acts together

OKAY DOTA

I thought they already dominated that

if you're spending 20 mil on a team I'd make them fucking get their shit right
