spring lintel
Tbh seagull's team is having easy matches
spring lintel
Nrg are plain shit honestly
pulsar void
their phara was pretty beasting
balmy wolf
i'd not be surprise if Blizzard gave them easier seedings
Still a respectable result by my boys

Hammers and eUnited are also coming to smurf in NA, right?
amber ember

since eUnited will have to play the EU Contenders qualifier
amber ember
who did nrg lose to
balmy wolf
eU planned to move to NA
spring lintel
These contenders stream are so good dude
balmy wolf
But looks like thats delayed
supple nymph
what does nrg do now ? wait 6 months?
balmy wolf
or not happening
spring lintel
Specially when diamond scrubs do some stupid shit against pros and it works
amber ember
the matches you listed are top8 @balmy wolf ?
balmy wolf
Yeah
@supple nymph https://puu.sh/waXE2/840a4c01c8.png
Top 8
One of them isnt qualifying
Because of C9
NRG had officially evolved from fuckin' Dumpster Fire to Forest Fire

I think Midnight might bat out CLG
spring lintel
I think so
Ex-rise are good af
They took a map off of rogue, I still remember it.
amber ember
think kelvin is probably the weakest there
balmy wolf
Definitely
spring lintel
Where?
pine star

sturdy granite
I was hoping at least one of the small teams would make it (ones without established professional players)
pine star
^ unlikely
balmy wolf
^^ highly unlikely
sturdy granite
i know
amber ember
wouldve been nice but it was stacked
spring lintel
Tbh the team that was vsing seagull might have a good chance with coaching

and with so many free agents there were gonna be even more good lineups

balmy wolf
wut
pine star
No?

Brain fart
balmy wolf
Its top 7 that qualify
wait so who coming in last
SEagull's team?
The team that comes in last doesnt qualify
spring lintel
They need to win 1 match
balmy wolf
probably reign
spring lintel
And they have 2 matches
balmy wolf
either them or TN
pine star
Dummy is the problem re-confirmed
pulsar void
Monte just got POTG, team kill right there ๐
spring lintel
Maybe something in the management or something
balmy wolf
fuck, Hammers might be the one getting the short end of the stick
since their seedings are last
sturdy granite
Honestly, I want all the teams to go through, it's gonna be close
floral harness
Fuck me Monte is a fucking savage
balmy wolf
Top 8 so far is IMT, Tempo, Midnight sucks/CLG, Seagull's stream team, Toronto eSport, Team Liquid, Envision, and Hammers
so if whoever come last lose
is it Hammers or ex Rise/CLG?
amber ember
are they just all gonna play each other?
amber ember
thats great

oh to decide who doesnt make it its basically a bracket with the losers advancing
balmy wolf
oh
amber ember
dammit as soon as i send that you post that
balmy wolf
I just want Hammers and Team Liquid to qualify
I have too much on Team Old Men

"lol why the fuck does everyone hate NRG so much? I seriously haven't seen either the players or the coach do or say anything that would make everyone this salty, but apparently they are. If anything, the former players (like this guy and Ajax after his shitty tweet) just come off as petulant and unprofessional with their attitude. As far as I can tell NRG as an org and all its people have been nothing but classy while everyone continues to shit on them on Twitter."

TLDR lose three in a row and Cloud9 takes your place
balmy wolf
Seagull's team might just call for a forfeit tbh
because this team is not built to be playing in group stage
this is my first time watching a pro overwatch match
who should i root for
forest raven
Root for the team you find most appealing in playstyle
balmy wolf
Root for the team with the best logo
also in the twich chat their spamming this "hell seagull this is NRG" meme thing what's that about
limber pine
Root for the team with the coolest name
forest raven
Seagull is the most popular Overwatch community figure, he was on the roster for the NRG team, but left it a couple days before their first tourney after months of building a new roster
balmy wolf
I think i'll root for tempo storm since there are currently tunderstorms in my area
forest raven
And now his own streamer team has made it further than NRG
limber pine
Good enough for me

apparently every ex-nrg player got further in the competition

i feel like NRG's issue isn't individual talent though
just maybe a team issue with either communication or decision-making

not having a stable roster must take its toll too i guess

the Contenders stream could be better

you seem to care about that lil bit too much wolf

Seagull can host the contenders whenever he wants, give the man a break
supple nymph
@trail beacon did you see the channel name?
trail beacon
He doesn't even have to host them at all
pine star
He's not the only one that cares
balmy wolf
He have all his rights, and I will have all my rights to mock him relentless whether or not he does or doesn't
i'm not going to let his antic of hosting stream the siphoned all the viewership away from an important tournament, while also talked a big talk about him "caring the scene"
supple nymph
now that meme dreams are dead every contenders stream is gonna have to compete with him solo qing
will be funny
balmy wolf
and by the way, this is the only time he actually host a tournament stream
Takeover 2 got shit viewership even though it is more important than Contender qualification
since he got his 33K viewers
but whatever. I'm just a try hard competitor who wants his scene to grow
trail beacon
THat's because people care more about seagull than tournaments
balmy wolf
and he is a streamer with everyone's love.
jagged crater
even if he hosted asap, lots of people would leave
trail beacon
You should be thankful a person like seagull exists cuz otherwise overwatch viewership would be LAUGHABLY small
supple nymph
it's more because tournaments arent advertised until 5 minutes before they start
or not at all
jagged crater
if anything blizzard is to blame for poor viewership for not advertising at all
nothing on battlenet launcher
balmy wolf
Blizzard never really tweet things about or PR about their shits
jagged crater
no tweets
balmy wolf
which is about as ๐ก as it be
trail beacon
Seagull is practically carrying the competitive scene in terms of viewership
wintry matrix
remember that today is only qualifiers, i'm sure when contenders start they'll bring the guns
sturdy granite
I had both open tbh. Nobody else was covering contenders, and I liked Seagulls perpsective. But yeah, Blizzard has done an ass job of marketing Overwatch as an esport to its audience
balmy wolf
and there barely any noise
wintry matrix
tbh, there's not much to be hyped about in quals
trail beacon
Comms > casting tbh
wintry matrix
also that (as in interesting)
balmy wolf
and i'm not going to be thankful for someone who have been underperforming in the pro scene for like months on ends and got an audience who bought in the hype that he is a good players
jagged crater
hearing pov comms is rare because most people dont want to share their comms
balmy wolf
and also, later in the month is going to be group stage
jagged crater
that's why i tuned to seagull
balmy wolf
and i doubt Blizzard will shill their creation
wintry matrix
now you're just salty
sturdy granite
I agree with Beemoo
balmy wolf
yes, I am salty.
jagged crater
i totally prefer hearing pov comms as well but it's a rare thing
wintry matrix
like, you may not like him, but in no way not having him is better than having him
balmy wolf
i get his importance. Doesn't mean that i'm not going to be salty about how he been conducting things.
jagged crater
im also really really happy that seagull decided to stream his comms , even if it was a meme team. It was so entertaining watching the hype and intensity from first pov
civic marsh
him streaming is his job
wintry matrix
i don't think he did anything badly, the majority of people who watched seagull prob wouldn't watch takeover or contenders anyway
sturdy granite
Honestly, it just feels so weird looking at the main page compared to the compitive sub, and just seeing how different the compitive community is from the main
jagged crater
overwatch has like the largest casual:competitive community ratio size compared to other esports
its comp scene is tiny
80% of seagull viewers prob dont watch any tournaments
trail beacon
the main page wouldnt be that bad if it wasn't 90% highlights and 10% art
sturdy granite
and 20 percent bad suggestions
wintry matrix
yeah, the daily highligh thread was so good
balmy wolf
according @limber pine about 78K viewers press on that "other related subs" so I guess it is ok ๐คก
civic marsh
when they put all the shit highlights into 1 thread the sub was actually readable
but all the noobs got salty
no one will comment on my dva 4k in low mmr quickplay if it's a comment in a thread and not its own post
balmy wolf
Blizzard will have no one else to blame once the casuals eventually drop it and go elsewhere
wintry matrix
i wouldn't be surprised if they rejected just because of how the r/cow (and other of the comp scene) handled this
sturdy granite
Also, you can't talk trash about mercy on the main page without getting destroyed, not that I would dare try it

like, every time this come into discussion, it becomes a "shitting r/ow circlejerk"
wintry matrix
it's not like the pro scene is different, pros had a lot of knee jerk reactions to nerfs/buffs before
civic marsh
it's true
sturdy granite
Yes, but they also tend to know the ins and outs of the game

what i'm saying is, let's dump this shit and go paladins /s

knee jerk reactions are pretty much universal

it was post-triple jump nerf
sturdy granite
Not saying they're always right
balmy wolf
but then again, that is the bell getting toll whenever an adjustment is imminent
sturdy granite
I miss triple jump, that was so fun
balmy wolf
the upcoming patch is making me feel funny though
my DPS guy in the team is practically salivating at it because he is an aim-based Hog main
while everyone else is screaming bloody murder about Roadhog getting the short end
when he is very balanced now
then again Blizzard is balancing for the 90%
which is NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IF YOU WANT YOUR GAME TO BE AN ESPORT

I kind of like it, but 33 percent feels like alot. 25 percent with a slight amount more time between shots.

so who would you say is the best team in contenders so far? It's hard to tell.
wintry matrix
is this "balancing for casuals" actually confirmed or just a meme?
civic marsh
top down balancing is healthiest even if you're not aiming for your game to be a top esport
jagged crater
i think every team lost a few rounds to another?

@wintry matrix it is basically a triangle of "what the community thinks, what we think, and what in reality is". But for the most part yes, they are balancing team for casual
jagged crater
did onigod stop streaming?
balmy wolf
@jagged crater until otherwise, Rogue and nV
they are the defacto king of NA OW
the rest is fighting for a chance to take them down
and any of them can win in any given days
wintry matrix
i dunno, i think for the most part they got it right

Toronto looks good, Selfless can't be counted out yet, and LGE still looks pretty good. But man, this new Faze roster and FNRGFE are looking red hot
balmy wolf
Immortals is looking great with their Korean acquisition though
Agilities looks sharp and Grim looks less shaky
sturdy granite
It's really close all the way around
balmy wolf
Nomy and Aythen might not giving Agilities and Grim proper care so that their DPS duos looks pedestrian in lenths
forest raven
If Selfless can play at the level they've historically shown I think they'll win season zero
If they keep being inconsistent no way
sturdy granite
When I was thinking about League, I wanted all the teams to be at a similar level, like this, Rather than the New Vegas Rogues or whatever just thrashing the other teams.
balmy wolf
they probably will pray for someone to take out CLG, Team Liquid and YIKES though
jagged crater
daaang seagull's team got 8th but were counted out cuz of c9, that's so unfortunate
even tho they were like 0-3'd, they had a relatively closer match vs their first match CLG
sturdy granite
C9 might take it tbh, Kaiser is one hell of an addition

yikes and selfless didnt even make top 8

Hammers is a dark horse of this I think
They are going to NA right after Takeover 2
with team house and everything
forest raven
Very possible Hammers wins
sturdy granite
Yeah, I have no idea what they are capable of yet
jagged crater
out of like what 500+ teams, all the 15 teams that made it are not unknowns so no crazy unknowns out of nowhere
a few unsponsored teams
but recognizable players
forest raven
If C9 continues like they have at TakeOver, they win
jagged crater
is kungarna a sponsor?
sturdy granite
A few close ones, I kind of wanted a surprise. Still, some of those teams, should they stay together, could be big in the future
forest raven
Kungarna is unsigned
balmy wolf
Hammers took maps off of C9 in LAN, and only lost outright to Movistar, who C9 had to pull everything out to win
jagged crater
so there's 3 unsponsored teams
balmy wolf
so Hammers maybe just another X factor
jagged crater
that made it
forest raven
Kungarna, Yikes, FNRGFE, YGGP
But FNRGFE and Yikes are basically pro teams just with no org
forest raven
Yep
balmy wolf
As are kungarna

sturdy granite
FNRGFE is like an amalgamation of the best players from other teams
