Exxxxcuuuuse me but esports discussion is not the place for this . use #video-content for such things blobpoliceangry

i dont keep up with who is any good i just accidentally run into ppl to watch but I don't have anyone on atm.

anyone recommend someone streaming right now thats pretty good?

@pure kettle Boombox up there is a support main for eUnited that recently made a name for himself in the recently finished TakeOver 2, an EU OW LAN event.

#

Became famous mostly for his Zenyatta.

Streamer Steven "ster" Serge, EnVyUs coach Kyle "kyky" Souder, and caster Jason Kaplan will reveal their picks for the Overwatch World Cup United States national team on June 15 at Twitch's Esports Arena at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.

#

what's the point of all that hype just to lose against EU and KR? HYPER3c

kindred kiln
#

so far they look like they believe it will advertise itself

#

somehow

wintry matrix
#

does twitch advertise esport? other than the big ones

balmy wolf
#

No lol

rapid oxide
#

im talking about playoverwatch btw

#

instead of doing that pointless "gif war"

#

they fucking advertise APEX, Contenders etc...

#

would be better

balmy wolf
#

well if you're really that passionate about it you can talk to griffin

rapid oxide
#

dont want to get banned

limber pine
#

๐Ÿ‘€

#

Griff is a wonderful nice guy

wintry matrix
#

eh, prob wouldn't change much, as contenders is in quals, and apex is KR mostly

rapid oxide
#

im in the edge on being banned here too haha

#

i'm very passionate most of the time and my blood boil easly ๐Ÿ‘€

kindred kiln
#

but wouldnt advertising even korean tournament help them in the long run?

#

people will get interested in the scene and look what other tournaments are there

rapid oxide
#

Takeover? various OMM?

#

nah, advertise it will hurt the scene /s

#

i mean... a bit

blazing parrot
#

"Overwatch is growing as an esport"

rapid oxide
#

because OMM and Rumble production is pretty shitty

blazing parrot
#

better than nothing

rapid oxide
#

i also understand that they dont advertise because they want to be sure to attract casual

#

and dont scare them to avoid their same shitty argument "i dont understand" "it's boring" "where's seagull" FeelsChromosomeMan

wintry matrix
#

i'd suppose they'be planning stuff to attract people when OWL start, maybe stuff like APEX does (Open Mic. those little games etc.) or something of the type

rapid oxide
#

My idea is an event tied for playoffs of OWL

#

like "Tracer Rogue Skin" "Lunatic Hai Ana Skin" their logos etc...

sombra

rapid oxide
#

not bad imo

limber pine
#

agreed

pure kettle
#

god i hate team based skins lol

rapid oxide
#

why?

pure kettle
#

cause in the games that have had them....i always get them over the skins I actually try for. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

limber pine
pure kettle
#

although i'd love more tracer hoodie skin options ๐Ÿ˜„

blazing parrot
civic marsh
#

how come skins aren't allowed in most tournaments

kindred kiln
#

skins are too confusing for viewers

civic marsh
#

what

blazing parrot
#

its for new people

kindred kiln
#

tbh that's a stupid reasoning,but it's the only one that exists at all

blazing parrot
#

when they see a yeti winston, space winston, and a emperor winston

#

its quite confusing

wary falcon
#

this is quite dumb reason

blazing parrot
#

most people who just tuned into the game think theyre different heroes

#

you might think its dumb

#

but if you want to attract new people

wary falcon
#

Do you watch Dota?

blazing parrot
#

you need to make everything easy to watch

#

tried dota

#

found myself too confused and bored to keep watching

civic marsh
#

i don't like the reason but i understand it

blazing parrot
#

grantedd i only played like 15 min of dota

civic marsh
#

i just like players being able to add a personal touch to their hero pick via skins you know

wary falcon
#

In Dota cosmetics change hero completely

kindred kiln
#

but well, if extra deck slots in hearthstone can be confusing, so can skins in overwatch ee

blazing parrot
#

they can use sprays and emotes

limber pine
#

da fuk

wary falcon
#

It can be confusing but it's good to make heroes more interesting

blazing parrot
#

try explaining to someone who just started watching overwatch and has little idea about it why theres a cyborg genji, a power ranger one, human one and etc

#

easier to not have to explain at all

#

casters can just say genji

#

and everyone knows o thats genji

#

they dont have to say like green powre ranger genji

limber pine
#

who's genji

#

is that GENGO

blazing parrot
#

im genji

solid spear
#

I mean eh you could just ban certain skins but Im so used to watching default that I dont care anymore lol

wary falcon
civic marsh
#

it's not a huge deal to me, i just like it when players can add a personal touch

balmy wolf
#

Skins > No skins

#

I still hate it

solid spear
#

I mean I dont like it I just dont care much anymore weve been watching stock skins since last year

blazing parrot
#

i dont think its a big deal to care about lol

solid spear
#

it was coo back in Melees when skins were allowed though

blazing parrot
#

im watching esports to see pros bash eachother in

#

not for the skins lol

solid spear
#

cuz you used to associate certain skins with certain players and stuff

blazing parrot
#

oh man

#

imagine if like power ranger genji was always associated with surefour

#

and then he switched skins

#

i wonder how much people would get bothered by it lol

wary falcon
#

0 i presume

#

it's not a big problem

limber pine
#

at least 1

balmy wolf
#

considering all im going to be doing is watching the players, i want to look at good skins

solid spear

me

balmy wolf
#

not garbage default

limber pine
#

there's always at least 1

civic marsh
#

surefour switched skins is he unsettled in c9????

yeah pretty much

it all is so funny compared to some 3rd tier moba my friend once showed me, heroes of newerth or something. where base hero skin could be a little anime girl, and "alternate skin" is muscly dude with a hammer,and that was totally ok

#

just heard about the Liquid shit

#

man, Overwatch eatin mad sports

#

mmm

#

literally

supple nymph
wary falcon
#

oh fuck

#

you just reminded me about my bet on nV

supple nymph
#

overwatch esports

#

where any team can beat any team in random huge upsets

wary falcon
#

it's still more predictable than CS:GO or Dota 2

balmy wolf
#

man

#

the amount of fanboys came out for nV is just lulz

ripe marlin
#

lol sure is

supple nymph

no thanks

your two favorite things

XDDDD

blazing parrot
balmy wolf
#

"It's a tradition to talk smack when picking ur opponents in Apex, what's the problem of that?
And can you really blame Nv for thinking that this team is predictable? Who is going to prepare for combating a junkrat comp?"

supple nymph
#

i thought it was weird they didnt go pharmercy or something to counter

#

but i guess it happened so fast

#

or they thought lul junk that wont work we will just power through

balmy wolf
#

i mean

#

X6 beat Lunatic Hai

#

and they were one of the stronger teams to come out of Challengers

#

so nV picking X6 to me reeks of Rogue picking nV season 1

#

where they thought it was good picking

#

and then whoops.

@blazing parrot how do u make your avatar rotating ?

this would be amazing on OW

oh wait

KDA, Ult Economy

not the same steel

not the same steel

ah

Steel got banned for match fixing lol

balmy wolf

hence pogW

inb4 not the same hence

what

rapid oxide

lmao

toxic yacht

tfw steel tried to play OW

rapid oxide
#

got benched on splyce lmao

#

along with flame

toxic yacht
#

I wonder if AZK actually really likes the game or only stayed for the monies

rapid oxide
#

on csgo prob he will be tier 5

toxic yacht
#

Steel succ and went back to streaming cs

rapid oxide
#

so he stick with ow

toxic yacht
#

kek

rapid oxide
#

steel suck so yeah

#

too bad he can't play tournaments lol

toxic yacht
#

lol

#

valve is probably never going to unban him

#

rip

rapid oxide
#

AZK was one of 7 individuals permanently banned from Valve events on January 26, 2015 for participation in the North American match fixing scandal. This ban was made permanent on January 5, 2016.

balmy wolf
#

what are you on about

#

AZK was godlike

rapid oxide
#

talking about now

balmy wolf
#

AZK was having a long slump

rapid oxide
#

godlike... not really

balmy wolf
#

How would he be that much worse

#

godlike to tier 5

#

lol

rapid oxide
#

sorry

#

tier 3

balmy wolf
#

AZK looks good on Tracer now but he was underperforming for quite sometimes in Liquid.

rapid oxide
toxic yacht
#

oh yeah, and apparently minstrel hasn't touched OW since he became a Stardew Valley pro

rapid oxide
#

joke aside IBP was decent

toxic yacht
#

lol

rapid oxide
#

but nothing special tbh

#

maybe my memory has flaws

#

just looking their liquipedia... at major were like 9-12

#

and dominate minor league

#

that remind me something on ow too

#

anyway my point wasnt on csgo but his spectator graphics n shit NotLikeMiya

#

OW should copy some stuff too

#

imo the health bar + KDA + ulti cd + ulti % + Ult economy + Player face etc..

#

would be nice on OW too

#

imo

balmy wolf
#

yeah well, team 4 needs to make skins first

#

so hands tied

rapid oxide
#

not sure they will do it team tied

#

most likely 8 colors (red, green, blue, orange, white, black etc...)

#

that reminds the team logo

#

if we suppose to have 16 team in the OWL, doing 16 skin for 24/25/26 hero require tons of time tbh

#

even if you have to take the default, change his color and put a sticker on team logo

#

but if they do tied with team, i would kiss em

balmy wolf
#

how would changing a models colours around and adding a logo here and there takes tons of time

#

even if it is for 20+ heroes

#

it would only be fast of they prioritize it

rapid oxide
#

i dont wanna say "its ez, change color lmao" because idk polo, i have no clue about game developing or graphic design and modeling

feral solar
#

steel explained in an interview that his iBP stuff was coming in the way of him being pro ow player

#

something about blizzard not liking it and stuff

rapid oxide
#

dont want to sound dhead (even if i sound it most of the time kek)

balmy wolf
#

I know next to nothing about any of that either

#

But I highly doubt its hard to change a models colours and add some logos

rapid oxide
#

dont want to assume it's easy when its not... i dont know it so...

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

balmy wolf
#

@balmy wolf Having the people who make skins prioritize making these skins over..?

#

making other skins?

#

event skins.

#

lul

rapid oxide
#

they said they are slowing down event so...

balmy wolf
#

you never know what are these people's priority, tbh

rapid oxide
#

"eksdi cooking emote xdxdxdxd"

#

is what OW need!1!!1

#

๐Ÿ’ฐ ๐Ÿ’ฐ ๐Ÿ’ฐ ๐Ÿ’ฐ ๐Ÿ’ฐ ๐Ÿ’ฐ

#

dont give them ideas NotLikeMiya

#

Anyway Polo i think you are kinda right

#

doing emotes require more time probably

#

skin for sure less

toxic yacht
#

depends on how they design the skins

rapid oxide
#

maybe they have to add shaders n shit

toxic yacht
#

if it's just simple colours with some minor details, redoing a few textures isn't a big deal

rapid oxide
#

ive no clue

#

idk if its only an HEX code to change

#

pretty sure its not

toxic yacht
#

they'll do it with textures

#

using plain colors like that

#

for animation

#

is garbage

#

colours like that are literally only used for testing purposes

rapid oxide
toxic yacht
#

okay, that's pretty much designing 24 new skins

#

would take some time

#

but you know, it makes mroe sense than event skins

#

but tournament skins like this don't bring in the casual money

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

so they'd rather spend that time making shit for events instead of this

rapid oxide
#

nerds that play pc as their job doesnt bring money

#

i call it btw, cooking emotes soon

#

or the next shitty trend /r/ow will take

#

like "Reaper shrug eksdee"

toxic yacht
#

mfw an "esports game" has too little people working on esports shit

rapid oxide
#

Reaper shrug > esport

#

im sorry

balmy wolf
#

remember that Team 4 controls the twitter more than the actual esport people

#

which explains all the meme shits they've tweeted out

rapid oxide
#

OW was aimed at casuals... it's hard to admit but that's the truth

toxic yacht
#

which also explains why they don't post contenders streams...

#

retweeting art is more important than tweeting about their own fucking tournament

#

๐Ÿ‘

rapid oxide
#

nah, better posting shitty normie gif lmao

feral solar
#

they tweeted an art from last years blizzcon today

toxic yacht
#

...

feral solar
#

not the ow page but still

toxic yacht
#

too bad that we only hit (or passed?) 20k views with a host from a kewl big streamer

feral solar
#

at this rate tournaments should just host themselves on seagull's stream

rapid oxide
feral solar
#

more viewers

toxic yacht
#

seagull hosting tournements the whole day until he streams will probably give them more views than they can get on their own

#

literally less views

#

than the monthly melee

#

admittedly, one reason why no one watched is because of how undererepresented the EU scene has been since Blizzard almost killed it

#

so no one knew of any of the teams

#

I actively tried to keep track of them, so I was actually invested in them

rapid oxide
#

and honestly wasnt hyped or smth

toxic yacht
#

yup

rapid oxide
#

26k peak i consider it nice

#

but should be done better

#

Apex was overhyped, atleast in the community, and we head 160k+ viewers indeed

#

cuz like SKT vs Underdogs

#

its a very cool story

toxic yacht
#

yup

#

also, the fact that it went on for months also helped

balmy wolf
#

JKaplan in Denver pogchimp

toxic yacht
#

the league format meant that you didn't have to sit in front of your PC for 10 hours and could also get mega hyped for matches

rapid oxide
#

FUCK YES

toxic yacht
#

JKap

#

now only uber is missing

rapid oxide
#

F U C K Y E S

balmy wolf
#

no Uber though

#

because ESL

rapid oxide
#

If there's Uber im gonna ๐Ÿ’ฆ

balmy wolf
rapid oxide
#

JKap is ESL too

balmy wolf
#

I love ZP/Hex, but Jkap/Uber will forever be my ideal casting duo

#

they have the experience, the natural voice, and they can hype the shit out of it

#

that eUnited vs Rogue final was ๐Ÿ‘

rapid oxide
#
  1. JKap/Uber 2. Monte/Doa 3. ZP/Hex
#

Monte and Doa are way more knowledge and skilled

#

but for fuck sake

#

0 hype

balmy wolf
#

talk about letting your fans down, JKaplan

rapid oxide
balmy wolf
#

Monte and DoA bore me to death

rapid oxide
#

ESL caster are way better tbh

toxic yacht
#

I still find how Rogue won this game so hilarious

rapid oxide
#

talking generally

#

even Deman is good

toxic yacht
#

like, rogue only won due to a series of lucky events that they took advantage of

balmy wolf
#

KnoxXx on Lucio winz on zarya bibelcry

toxic yacht
#

internethulk knocked winz into nV with primal rage

#

if he hadn't done that

#

winz wouldn't have gotten off such a good grav

#

and they would likely have lost

#

lul

#

also, winz had like, 20 hp

#

when he grav'd

#

only managed because of Knoxxx's soundbarrier

#

if nV had shot at him half a second earlier/a bit more, they'd again, likely have won

#

kinda funny how such tiny plays and decisions have such massive impact

balmy wolf
#

old Rogue FeelsPizzaMan

#

i'm convinced that if we take old Rogue to now

#

they'd still wreck fools

#

even to KR teams

toxic yacht
#

4-1 LH

#

never forget

balmy wolf
#

that's after LH beat them twice in group and playoff

they was running so many shit that now we taken for granted

Ill continue to say

if youre balancing the game around average players why is Mercy the way she is the game revolves around Mercy in ranked

I think balancing the game aorund average players is dumb to begin with but if were doing it gimme dat

blazing parrot

im sure shell get nerfed soon lul

wintry matrix

don't every master or above say Mercy is super easy to kill?

blazing parrot
#

its not easy to kill her not

#

just revive is a bitch

#

to play around

wintry matrix
#

i dunno, i don't see much problem with her rn (maybe nerf a bit the amout of self-healing and the range of rez, but)

blazing parrot
#

i think if they changed her self healing

#

then she would drop

#

like

wintry matrix
#

there's a lot of things in OW that i's a bitch to play around, just gotta learn how

solid spear
#

bruh it used to be 3 seconds

#

now its 1

wintry matrix
#

i'm not saying the time it takes, more the speed

clever wagon
#

It's because she's easy to kill that these one trick shitters are cancer to the game

solid spear
#

they buffed the crap out of the self heal

blazing parrot
#

idk what i meant to say

#

but self heal need a tweak

wintry matrix
#

like, the shield regeneration speed

blazing parrot
#

maybe like when holding space no regen

#

or something along those lines

solid spear
#

they need to change it back to 3 seconds

#

or at least 2

#

and rez is a straight bitch that buff they gave it ugh

#

I mean shes fine in pro level play but with the massice Hog nerfs its very clear thats not what they care about

wintry matrix
#

i think that would be too much, remember that other self-healing and her shift (which is not realible 100% of the times) she has no way to survive flankers

solid spear
#

good

wintry matrix
#

i actually don't even remember what they did to roadhog in the last ptr

solid spear
#

they nerfed his damage by 33%

#

they increased his fire rate and gave him an extra bullet in his clip but his burst and his hook combo are gutted

wintry matrix
#

it does seems weird

clever wagon
#

it's not just weird

#

It's uncalled for

#

He has no fucking issues at all

#

Can even see the massive decrease in pick rate in pro play

wintry matrix
#

i do think that's weird considering his kit revolves around the hook, so nerfing that seems strange, but i always like to wait on these things

solid spear
#

I mean hell go from 8% to like 2 or whatever so

#

thats cool I guess

wary falcon

Patch is live?

solid spear

is it?

clever wagon

It's still uncalled for regardless

solid spear

would be a weird time

clever wagon

No it isn't

Patch always goes live on Tuesday

wary falcon
#

I have update

clever wagon
#

A hotfix at best

#

Because I'm playing the live version rn

balmy wolf
#

by the way

#

just realized something

#

nV bought the EFFECT hype and casted Lui away after the Meta Athena performance

#

and now they get outplayed by a very game X6 with their weird ass intepretation of "dive"

#

this feels like a reverse nV after their fortune in S1

wintry matrix
#

for how much good Effect is, it still irks me how quick they benched Lui

#

like they don't know the concept of trialing

balmy wolf
#

they bought on to their own hype

#

which is the absolute worst thing you can do when you are a team

#

EFFECT and Mickie was the only ones that played well, granted

#

but c'mon, having luminary opposition such as BK Stars and RGW isn't indicative of your real strength

wintry matrix
#

i don't think they are wrong for getting them, i'm just complaining how quick it was

#

it stuff like this that just puts SK looking better

#

i highly doubt it any SK team would trial Effect and Lui so quickly

balmy wolf
#

well, LH did tryout Claris/Munchkin between S2 and S3

#

and it was what, 2 weeks?

#

but then their fangirls sabotaged their own team

#

it is not totally unprecedented, but at the same, you'd think that they'd let Lui hung around a bit

wintry matrix
#

they quit because of disagreements (and weird SK fan drama), not because "nope, we going to kick you after 3 maches trialed"

#

although i guess NV don't have a lot of matches to experiment, but still

Well, going to apex every season and lacking the ability to regularly play meaningless shit kinda does that to you

balmy wolf
#

we won't be going to APEX because we tired

#

we decided to go to APEX because it is the best training environment

#

we couldn't get any scrims in KR

#

and we get meme'd by X6 and attack Junkrat

#

The universe surely have a weird way of mocking those who dares it

So.... is it a case of burnout?

balmy wolf
#

his back broke from carrying Selfless, basically

#

now he can just go back to Denmark and do whatever the fuck he wants for 3 months

#

before going back to NA again

clever wagon
#

Maybe it's one of those cases when you need a reason to not play or even touch the game

#

Idk

#

So you just did all shit that will really make you unable to play

EU Contenders is going to start in like half an hour

#

and then just gotta wait for like 8 hours for the stream to come up

feral solar
#

do you know if anyone else is streaming?

balmy wolf
#

no clue

#

i hope that Tviq would stream but i doubt it

clever wagon
#

@balmy wolf when? I'm on Twitch/OWcontenders but offline

#

Oh wait

#

Non-streamed open qualifier?

balmy wolf
#

non streamed yeah

#

1pm CST is when the stream is up

thick cosmos
#

seqta, esporati, vivi's adventure, ninjas with attitude, from looking at the bracket one of these teams is most likely going to top 8, which team do you think?

balmy wolf
#

any screencap of the bracket?

#

actually got it

clever wagon
#

Time zones are difficult

thick cosmos
#

The bracket is so big it's hard to follow

balmy wolf
#

Movistar Riders, Misfits, Eunited got first round bye. NIP no first round bye

clever wagon
#

7 hours from now?

balmy wolf
#

roughly

clever wagon
#

12 hrs behind huh

#

Hmm

#

1 AM here ayy

๐Ÿ•ฏ EU/NA times ๐Ÿ•ฏ

balmy wolf

Movistar Riders and Iceblock GG in the same bracket

balmy wolf

some of the seedings are absolutely joke tier

#

my team got shit seedings two days in a row

clever wagon

I mean Dafran could've probably picked Mercy instead of Torbjorn and nobody would notice that he's throwing haHAA

balmy wolf
#

meanwhile a youtuber with his GM friends played against 5 plat/gold/silver teams

(And still stay GM. He was still GM by the end of it anyway)

Holy fuck you don't wish for such a bad thing, not even Selfless

the way the mods handle things will have repurcussions to come

especially how TEE conducts himself

god damn cow mods

#

UB team vs LK

#

so Juv3nile went from playing in the meme team to getting beat by Laser Kittenz

rapid oxide
#

No upset for the moment

balmy wolf
#

there are some curious bracket placement

#

like Movistar Riders and Iceblock GG

#

Team LDLC and EUnited

toxic yacht
#

btw, we're most likely getting misfits vs LK in the top 8 today

#

don't think that any other noteworthy team is with them

supple nymph
#

rabbit team vs cats

balmy wolf
#

NWA, LK, Misfits, NIP, Movistar, eUnited should be in top 8

#

I just want my Finnish boyz to qualified first

#

Everytime someone propose hero ban for OW, a Mercy main get her GM

balmy wolf
#

too bad idc about either of those teams

What is OW Contenders without Meme Reddit to represent

rapid oxide

Contenders without meme reddit = shit

clever wagon
#

There is no purpose

supple nymph
#

there are 3 other meme teams

#

but they all got knocked out ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

rapid oxide

Meme reddit would be top 8 for sure

Others are impostors

I hope NiP get's to top 8, we played against them in second round

Overwatch the Rebuild?

vocal yoke
#

spectulation is Overwatch SP Storymode

supple nymph
#

that's what stylosa said...

#

do they really want to do that

#

even less people will do comp or follow esports

toxic yacht
#

Stylosa said many things

#

it can literally be anything, and pretty sure that blizz wasn't a big fan of the story mode idea

supple nymph
#

did they really say that? they have the casual boner though

toxic yacht
#

not sure how profitable a story mode really is

#

it'd be expensive af to make

#

you'd have to fuck around with the engine a lot

#

and a ton of new work

#

for something that isn't likely to make long-term monies

#

in a game that wasn't designed with a story mode in mind at all

balmy wolf
#

eU, Vivi's, GO, SNG Ninjas, Riders, NiP, LK, BP, Cyclowns, Misfits, ex-x4ckers, Team expert, Team Bounty Hunters, Winner of Seqta vs NWA, 123 and Winner of CoolCatClan vs Vicious and Delicious

#

All teams in Round of 16

rapid oxide
#

who tf are Bounty Hunters, CoolCatClan and Vicous and Delicious

vocal yoke
#

teams that won their matches?

balmy wolf
#

It will probably be NWA and CoolCatClan

thick cosmos
#

What will probably be NWA and CoolCatClan?

#

Oh nvm

supple nymph
#

but LK still has a match to play before that

balmy wolf
#

I doubt x4ckers will beat Misfits

#

So it will be Misfits vs LK

toxic yacht
#

it's 100% gonna be Misfits vs LK

#

let's just hope that it's the Misfits from the Movistar game

#

and not the Hammers one

balmy wolf
#

ngl id like to see LK more than misfits

#

so I hope they lose

rapid oxide
#
toxic yacht
#

I dunno, for some reason I'm really indifferent towards LK

#

I wouldn't mind it if they qualified tomorrow tbh

balmy wolf
#

i dont have an opinion on them because ive only ever seen them play once

#

But after their korea bootcamp and picking up mowzassa

#

I have high hopes

#

I also just want to see Kyb again

thick cosmos
#

Singularity Ninjas is the first team that qualifies

#

NWA vs seqta has been going on for 50 min according to the contenders site o.o

rapid oxide

both got poached to death

Cyclone*

Back in the day all of NWA was really good

There weren't really weak players

or people who stood out too much

Unlike Cyclone

Movistar beat team expert 2-1

toxic yacht

rip veine :/

#

well, they took off a map

thick cosmos

Now Vivi's Adventure vs NWA and Misfits vs Zengaming are the only top 16 matches left

rapid oxide
#

seriously... a mouse mat of DVa where a fidget spinner are on her nipple

#

just /r/ow things

toxic yacht
#

yes, I saw it

#

tbh I found it hilarious

#

btw, mifsits is currently 1-0 vs zen

#

they're playing nepal and are also 1-0 vs them there

#

they are currently playing round 2 and misfits got the first cap again

#

misfits is highly likely to take this, so LK vs Misfits is pretty much guaranteed

thick cosmos
#

Probably gonna be NWA vs eUnited but i really hope vivi's wins

toxic yacht
#

it's not a stomp, but it's very misfits leaning

#

2-0 nepal

#

nevix just killed the entire team

#

lul

kafeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's pov

they're about to get 2-0'd though

dat gold border HYPERGACHI

#

ah, running dive on the triple tank stage vs triple tank

#

first time zen capped first

#

you know, TviQ's tracer looks like such a pain in the ass to play against

#

but yeah, looks like misfits are gonna lose this stage

rapid oxide
#

we know already

limber pine
#

Who's still to be decided?

rapid oxide
#

misfits - zen

thick cosmos
#

Vivi's vs nwa too right?

limber pine
#

Yeah there's one more blank

toxic yacht
#

looks like they figured out how to rek misfits, lul

#

just run triple tank

#

I wonder if they'll try to mirror it

#

nope, still gon dive

rapid oxide
#

a close match against this kind of team is not a good sign tbh

#

considering they should be tier 1

toxic yacht
#

I mean, it was pretty misfits sided up to this point

#

it only started getting close during sanctum

limber pine

well, the only wildcards are NWA and Vivi's

apart from them, we know all of the teams

for today

balmy wolf

they aren't wildcards Thanking

toxic yacht

sorry "unkowns"

#

u fuk

#

since we don't know who of them will make it

balmy wolf

They aren't unknowns either

#

NWA will take it

rapid oxide

polo predicion are actually the opposite

so gg vivi

Cmon vivi's, i believe

About an hour since match started, close game or slow update?

"not unkown"

balmy wolf

they arent though ThinkSmug

I didn't mean unknown as in no one knows them

unknown as in "dunno who the fuck will win"

of course not.

the mods of flamecord really doesn't like me so ๐Ÿคท

i didnt even say anything I just used his NRG chat commands

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

balmy wolf
#

I found the whole business of getting ban because of political opinions is suspected though

#

then again, America has been politicialized and illusioned into thinking that certain issues are more important than others

#

this is massively off topic though

#

and @supple nymph apparently Flame known for random blaming of those who made him mad so ๐Ÿคท

he's a bad analyst gives one line feedbacks that say nothing

it's hard to care about something like that coming from a country like China
