you don't go from gm to bronze in one day period

natural selection? lol
delicate sparrow
a bronze player getting dropped back to bronze makes sense, but a gm having a bad day and getting down to bronze is pretty much impossible. after a certain point they lose like 2 sr per game
glad chasm
@balmy wolf road isn't your classic dive comp. Doesn't mean a team that is clearly superior can't play it and have success vs a team that's not even close to being on their level. There's clearly a disconnect with you and reality.

hanzo new meta
wary falcon
hanzo always was in meta (use sonic arrow on the start and repick)
balmy wolf
@glad chasm feels free to search if I ever said something like "Roadhog is a true dive pick" or something equally silly like that
delicate sparrow
so do we have to have this argument every week now or what
balmy wolf
especially when I noted that it is more stylistic than anything
since he is not a dive tank
delicate sparrow
you both literally agree with each other, you're just wording it differently and wanna insult each other for no real reason
glad chasm
That'd be like a GM smurfing into gold/plat level games and playing offensive torb or junk and then calling it meta because a clearly superior player smashed some lower tier comp
glad chasm
Ok ok. Offensive sym?
delicate sparrow
lw blue has looked pretty bad on defense all season tbh
balmy wolf
you saying, @delicate sparrow ?
delicate sparrow
I have no idea what your point possibly is reign

but it's not that deep

Dude just wants to argue
clever wagon
MLG said there is just no way a dive would be run with hog, ever, on that date

I'm muting all 3 of you I can't live like this

this is some level of

we need another text channel to discuss about important things like diving roadhogs
balmy wolf
"no you are agreeing with each other"
"no he's not"
"you are blocked"
what is this, tumblr?

rapid oxide
everyone is wrong
delicate sparrow
look dog

glad chasm
If hog were actually a legit dive pick there would be more than 1 reference point this far into the apex season
delicate sparrow
you both think teams run roadhog as an off-meta pick with dive, not an actual on meta thing but people still run it
it's the same fucking thing
how do you care enough to argue about this a full week later
balmy wolf
never run as part of dive =/= stylistic choice on dive
that's a rather big different but I digress
glad chasm
@delicate sparrow he brought it up and tagged me man
wary falcon
i don't even remember when this war started
delicate sparrow
last apex matches
glad chasm
And I'm just mentioning there only being 1 reference point up to this point in apex s3 of a hog sighting in anything resembling dive. I'm just looking at what these guys are playing
balmy wolf
KDP somehow won that when get EMP'd
@glad chasm clearly not the "no they dont"
but i'm just providing "questionable" take so 
shit
glad chasm
Clearly is a "no they dont" when there's only been a single instance
balmy wolf
Luffy fucking up now
and also it is not even just APEX when other teams also run in a few time
but I guess we are just using APEX S3 for the sake of keeping it strangely specific
glad chasm
1 instance in apex s3 which is clearly the highest level gameplay atm
balmy wolf
also, nobody noticed LW BLue with single support
wtf Pine
EMP into a dragonblade
RIP
delicate sparrow
single support on hollywood first isn't that weird tbh
balmy wolf
Not a 3-0 omg
balmy wolf
if it wasn't for Luffy getting spooked and fucked up the Transdencence
we could see a first point hold.
but Pine did his job

he is FA officially, you can watch his stream in twitch now also

@crisp lynx next month apparently

i heard they built team house in july.
balmy wolf
"Maybe Fury is replacing shadder, cuz Shadder is still in europe from what i know"
fuck.
crisp lynx
i just want to watch SDB vs Shadder genji fight without ping issue.
balmy wolf
lul replacing shadder
he doesnt have the hero pool for that
nor does id have the hero pool for that
The only reason he would still be in Europe is because it isnt that easy to move a teenager still living at home and still going to school from europe to north america
crisp lynx
Fury played Dva, tracer, soldier in Apex and he was zarya main. no genji record.
balmy wolf
Shadder actually has a very diverse hero pool
Even though he's a genji specialist, he plays all the off tanks very well
who even said that @balmy wolf
someone from SDB discord
any news on this @crisp lynx
Well, they talk about a 7 man roster in the announcement on their website, they also talk about him playing off tanks with the "occasional" dps hero
I find it doubtful
At the moment, he is probably playing in shadders spot
for scrims
crisp lynx
it's right, i knew
commitee doesnt give any hint of rosters.
but people are worried because it look like LH + LWB team
both two team played badly recent match
balmy wolf
koreans being worried that a team made up of two of the best teams in the world will lose
the West loves that combination
lol
crisp lynx
The committee includes two Apex commentators, they praise LH and LWB's some player recently. so fans assume that.
actually i like AFB more. so i don't like this trends
"worrying trend"
balmy wolf
both got beat by KDP
so I assume some people from KDP will be on the shortlist
if no RJH they probably throwing
crisp lynx
The roster was already submitted a few weeks ago according to "TheMarine" before RO8 match. so recent result did not reflect.
i hope they picked birdring at least.
balmy wolf
apparently one of the rumor pick is SBB
crisp lynx
yes i heard of that today.
SBB is who i said praised player today's match by TheMarine.
and birdling and SBB share similar hero pool 
balmy wolf
no Genji one trick in KR national team
crisp lynx
haksal didn't pick because they said they picked only player in apex RO8
and whoru... i don't know.
crisp lynx
Arhan lul.
balmy wolf
Arhan looked solid but idk whether or not it is his team carrying him or whatever
his blade still looked like crap
and they usually committed heavily to it as well
crisp lynx
you should check his charge speed.
i heard his charge is oddly fast.
so even if he waste some blade, overall efficiency is not so bad i heard. I do not know for sure.
toxic yacht
Yee, I've heard that ArHaN is still a well respected Genji in Korea
He's mostly turned to a meme in the west thanks to apex s2
crisp lynx
yes. he is more meme in west i think
toxic yacht
But Koreans actually know him better and have seen him longer, so I'd trust their judgement over mine, lul
crisp lynx
in korea, Esca LUL this meme is exist. but Arhan LUL is unfamiliar 😃
balmy wolf
so does that Esca meme came over from NA or just originated by itself?
crisp lynx
i thought it came from ognglobal channel. some fan who don't like Esca's play post screenshot of global chat
crisp lynx

gotta exhaust your players

very healthy for you, I heard
balmy wolf
Team Liquid is boot camping in nVidia HQ though, which means they they will probably play in more optimal situation than everyone else
which is good
wowee
Not everyone @balmy wolf
no Shadder apparently
Selfless, IMT, Evil, C9, Hammers and Renegedes I think
are all in houses aswell
Well houses or similar
in their group
only Selfless is in house
and maybe CLG
but TL had been playing in sub optimal environment for so long
Oh right
they also have Hulk coaching too
so there's that
toxic yacht

it seems like a lot of matches when only 4 of them get streamed a day

do you realize that KR ladder is so much different than NA ladder or EU ladder?
everyone in top 500 and mid GM is more or less equally skilled
and there is no way even top500 6stack will go against master/diamond players

the problem is that Asia server is populous enough that matchmaking actually works
unlike in NA
so their ladder are a. more consistent and b. a better indicator of skill

Nothing was captured when I first tried it with my current rig
@balmy wolf Asia server? For OW?
I believe SEA goes into Americas, or... also goes into Americas
Since I use Americas and I get 20 ms or less, which most likely means somewhere in SG or MY
clever wagon
No idea if "Asia" as listed in the BNet login also includes SEA/my region though, never tried it
balmy wolf
@clever wagon funny because I played mainly on Asia

only pick that seems to make sense is Coolmatt

Coolmatt, Adam and Sinatraa I can understand

@vocal yoke they might get through the group stage but will flunk out at the RO8 or RO16
not even Sinatraa
even Grim is a better hitscan than Sinatraa

they won't take into consideration his 6stacking on LAN
balmy wolf
you sure?
vocal yoke
his team is currently ranked 2 in Asia-Pacific
according to over.gg
they won OCE tournament recently
balmy wolf
their automated ranking is pretty shit
balmy wolf
why would you put Blank eSport who had been compete in a bigger LAN (OPC) below Mastermind who just won a regional LAN (COE)?
vocal yoke
I am not putting them above then wtf
just saying that they are not as bad as people are saying
vocal yoke
because they only see the whole 6stacking thing
I fucking said that it's over.gg's ranking, never stated that it's my personal feeling jesus fucknig christ
balmy wolf
you are the one that said they are "ranked 2 in Asia-Pacific", and I pointed out that the ranking is pretty flawed, and now you backpedal by saying that "they are not as bad as people are saying"
over.gg ranking is automated, which means that it taking into account more recent win loss disregard of strength of opponent and context
hence why Masterminds somehow managed to grab second spot because they won recently, but context wise, they are playing in a weaker region and a smaller LAN
balmy wolf
Taiwan/China/Thailand/Japan/Australia > Australian
OPC has teams from Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc etc
which automatically a stronger competition
vocal yoke
ok I'm out because this has no fucking sense to me anymore
balmy wolf
you seems to not get that Australia is a weak region
winning a local LAN in a weak region does not mean somehow you are number 2 as Asia Pacific

dry tinsel
isnt masteroverwatch a better site ?

🤦
over.gg is esports
esports stats and match history
so yeaaah, this is kinda the wrong place to ask
ow doesn't have any actual match history
so overbuff tries to recreate it using other data that I don't fuckin know
dry tinsel
oh okey, gotcha
toxic yacht
blizz doesn't have any official API, so it just scrapes data from playoverwatch.com and checks out how you've been looking at your stats + other stuff and tries to give you as much data of that as you can
mo and overbuff both have their pros and cons, I tend to use overbuff, but one of the best things about MO is that it contains data from previous seasons
overbuff doesn't feel like saving that
but yeah, stats without context are kinda pointless, so take everythign you see with 10 c-17 loads of salt

im coming from league and there u have alot of sites that tells u everything

iirc riot actually has an official API for that, although you can correct me if I'm wrong
Same goes for csgo
so you have a hundred bajillion sites telling you stats
iirc blizz said something about how they'd like to implement something like taht
but it takes time and really isn't high priority rn, probably
I'd guess that it will come when we get replays etc
dry tinsel
oh i see didnt know that
balmy wolf
Blizzard's API apparently is in high priority
according to one of the interview
so at least that it is coming
before any skins (hopefully)

I don't remember it being high priority, actually, I remembered the opposite
balmy wolf
it was in a recent interview with Scott Mercer
Winston's Lab?
or Omnic, can't remember

Matches during the Group Stage will be “4 Game Sets”. In a single Match, Teams will play 4 maps in total, with the team earning the highest number of maps taking the victory. 4 Game Sets that end 2-2 will result in a tie for that Match. Tiebreakers will be played after all matches in the Group Stage complete and final results are recorded.

waxen rampart

balmy wolf
yes, stream in half an hour
and no, it is the schedule
they have 12 games to get through today
supple nymph
balmy wolf
and also, NIP vs GO
I feared for my life
Misfits vs Laser Kittenz will probably be fireworks though
which is good
waxen rampart
Can I ask whats the interesting parts about the matches?
wintry matrix
i think it's like the same in any esports, the storylines. clutch plays, good team coordination etc.
or the funny throws
thick cosmos
1-1 between vivis and singularity
supple nymph
rapid oxide
supple nymph
chat more interested in dafran than match
dusty surge
A bunch of people are probably playing on the scrims server atm.
supple nymph
maybe they didnt want too many white people
toxic yacht
logix 🙏
wintry matrix
tho i guess that does make nV look weirder than they already look
balmy wolf
@wintry matrix some of their recent decisions has been questionable
letting Hulk go, letting Lui go, picking X6, etc etc
now we are just at a point of where it all came crashing down
wintry matrix
the Hulk thing i kinda understand, even if it's still a bit sad
dusty surge
So much drama in esperts
crisp lynx
taimou is getting tilted. he duo with haksal. lose streak
wintry matrix
at least his burnout kinda explains why he's been undeperforming
dusty surge
lol cyclowns
toxic yacht
rip
rapid oxide
burnout
holy hell
stop fucking drinking alchol and have a shitty habits
that doesnt help
rapid oxide
people will always complain about something
achieve the perfect balance is impossible
wintry matrix
that's ok, the thread tho was just circle-jerking on the usual targets
just confirms a bit more that meta is more a matter of perspective than objectiveness
balmy wolf
i do found it hilarious that D.va is completely OP in other fashion though
back in her meta she was too tanky
now her DM is too good
the other difference is that D.va is shit on MM but completely OP in pro
solid spear
I mean dive is cancer tbh
and he even said without DM youd just immediately die to dive so its weird anyway as annoying as D.Va is she feels neccessary on your team a lot of the time cuz of certain threats
toxic yacht
logix stop
dusty surge
So how do you "fix" dive?
solid spear
not gut one of the few characters that was decent against it lol
toxic yacht
logix is fuckin op wtf
dusty surge
Cyclowns going to need to full hold to not get 3-0'd. :(
toxic yacht
probably 4-0'd at this rate
toxic yacht
lol
naive plover

@supple nymph "not comfortable going to Poland"
balmy wolf
yes, a leg will be happening in Katowice
supple nymph
ah
dusty surge
Hrmm. What's the deal with Poland?
supple nymph
seems oddly specific
he could say he doesnt like to travel
or fly overseas
but he said poland
naive plover
to be fair, i wouldnt want to go to poland either
balmy wolf
Katowice is like one of the major esport city
why wouldn't you want to go to Katowice
unless you have school and shit
balmy wolf
Katowice is actually a pretty bad city
There are better cities in Poland
But he doesnt want to go because of religious stuff I think
they usually holds IEM there
which is a pretty big event in IEM series
all of the event in the WC legs usually have a sort of esport background to it
Barbank had studios
Katowice hosted world class esport event before
Sydney the same
Well yeah Katowice has their esports stadium
but the actual city is pretty ehhh
and also
4-0 incoming
inb4 4 4-0

naive plover
He's usually playing tracer when hes not in his team
balmy wolf
Speaking of @dusty surge
toxic yacht

naive plover
Dids sombra is so good tho q-q
toxic yacht
he's probably the flex dps of the team
vestal mortar
Mei + Sombra
balmy wolf
REAPER WORKING LOL
toxic yacht
another emp
balmy wolf
dive with Reaper is underrated
dusty surge
Reaper is underrated.
naive plover
reaper is underrated yeah
toxic yacht
veineless sombra guise
naive plover
but hes good against sombra
balmy wolf
Reaper is niche in situation where you want Roadhog firepower but don't want to give ult battery to other team
KR teams run it, and so is my team
toxic yacht
whoa
dusty surge
Oh man... look at that, almost a full hold.
balmy wolf
Team Expert with the KDP strats
without knowledge how to run it
they been running single support triple dps
and completely failed at diving the point
dusty surge
And the full hold.
void dirge
veineless on sombra 🤤
