expert up 3-0
balmy wolf
as far as story goes
according to a source of mine
Fnatic didn't have time to try out people at all
on the eve of having 3 tournaments back to back
so they trialed one other guy and Hafficool
and took him in short notice
and well....the rest is history

"To be honest, we didn't practise Anubis"
Winz had a new one
He claimed they shared scrim footage of Rogue among each other
To take out the western teams
Lunatic Hai could 3-0 them in their home towns
balmy wolf
you know damn well that's not what he said.
clever portal
And they would still make excuses
rapid oxide
clever portal
I can find the exact quote if you want
clever wagon
What, from the esportshaven interview?
balmy wolf
yeah
there's a large gap between "I don't believe for a second that it doesn't happen" vs "KR teams definitely share scrim footage of western teams"
and also, if you actually noticed, almost none of the Western invited teams to APEX ever go well after it
Fnatic slumped for like months after it
C9 has huge internal drama that lead to another roster rebuild
NRG also has their second rebuild after APEX (especially when they couldn't qualify for NGE)
the list goes on.
clever portal
"I don't believe for a second that it doesn't happen"is basically the PC way of saying it happens
Unless he has some form of proof it sounds like an excuse
balmy wolf
considering the way he said things about Mendo that wasn't PC at all
I very much doubt he felt the need to suddenly be PC about such thing
clever wagon
This week's Contenders when? I forgot
thick cosmos
RiP probably gonna take 2nd place over Vivi's now that they won vs vivi's
clever portal
I always saw Rogue as professional though
Where they say it as it is
But don't go to far
Saying they share the footage would be going too far
So he held back
balmy wolf
Winz at least know how to trash talk, back it up, and then shut up when he needed not to.
unlike Hafficool.

RIP still needs to win the rest of their matches to guarantee a spot
but this will bode well for them
3-1 already vs the team that 0-4 them last week
thick cosmos
123 2-1 movistar
thick cosmos
Singularity and GO 2-2
balmy wolf
NWA 2-1 eSporters
thick cosmos
That win for RiP is huge tho
balmy wolf
win counts first, map scores later
thick cosmos
Yea
balmy wolf
so right now NIP is 2-1-1
thick cosmos
NiP drawing vs Singularity and Vivi's losing to singularity puts RiP above Vivi's in the group now
I mean from last weekend
balmy wolf
so according to this, Vivi is 2-2-0
RIP is 2-1-1
Singularity might be 2-0-2
and GO will be 0-3-1
thick cosmos
Yea
clever portal
Singularity drew
balmy wolf
yup
rapid oxide
clever portal
Oh right, draw is last one. My bad
thick cosmos
Wtf
balmy wolf
not Drawnamura apparently. GO took that map.
thick cosmos
so singularity won last map then?
clever portal
Yeah, I think they posted wrong score for a second
balmy wolf
so RIP still needs to win their remaining matches in order to secure a spot
Singularity is near guarantee the top spot though
unless Vivi struck them down next map
whoever get to 4 wins will qualify
clever portal
Not if they lose to Vivi and RiP
balmy wolf
that's why I said "near"
thick cosmos
What happenes if Vivi's and rip win their remaining matches?
clever portal
Vivi and RiP through right?
balmy wolf
yeah i think
assuming Vivi and RIP won their remaining matches
Vivi will be 4-2-0
while RIP will be 4-1-1
Singularity will be 3-2-1
and GO is 0-6-1
thick cosmos
So there is still hope for vivi's 😄
balmy wolf
I just want RIP to go through
and top 8 is good enough for EU
since there's no risk of 2 spots getting shat on via nV and Rogue
rapid oxide
show at NiP how stupid they were dropping them :<
balmy wolf
I mean if they qualified they will have a guarantee spot for Contenders season 1
that's a huge opening for new sponsorship
(assuming there are still sponsors left in EU)
clever wagon
thick cosmos
If singularity beats Vivi's or rip i think RiP and Singularity are guaranteed to get top 8

I still find Tracer doing that in Oasis more impressive

Movistar might be the most inconsistent team EU
balmy wolf
who is Finnsi playing for now?
thick cosmos
Pretty sure the top 2 teams in each group right now are the ones that are gonna get top 8
thick cosmos
If rip loses, they have to lose to GO aswell, if singularity loses they have to lose to Vivi's aswell and Vivi's needs to win vs GO and singularity
Otherwise it's gonna be singularity and RiP
The fact that RiP has 1 draw and 1 loss and Vivi's has 2 losses makes this so much better for RiP
GO 1-0 Vivi's
FeelsBadMan
This is almost the worst position where there is still hope for vivi's
I'm having a tough time believing

tho tbh i don't put a lot of faith in the NA/EU scene (as in the players and orgs)

If you're interested, there's an EU tournament going on right now
I agree about the NA/EU orgs
This game will probably turn into another league
There will be good Western teams
supple nymph
if you look at https://careers.blizzard.com/en-us/openings they are still hiring key overwatch esports related positions

But simply a tier below the best
supple nymph
so probably not anytime soon
balmy wolf
ok, so RIP and Singularity will qualified
GO 3-1 RIP
NWA forfeited their match against LK
clever portal
Wonder why
I think some teams have done that in other tournaments though
If they had no chance of making it out
Messes with seeding though
Maybe the game wouldn't have been a 4-0
clever portal
They do
toxic yacht
don't see any other reason why they wouldn't mention TF2 when talking about MGEMIke
clever portal
Left guy speaks about it
toxic yacht
"a different game"
clever portal
Oh right
clever portal
Why would they mention poor man's overwatch 
toxic yacht
balmy wolf
so the top 8 is going to be RIP, eUnited, Team Expert, Laser Kittenz, Misfits, Movistar Riders, 123, and Singularity
not bad
also Team eSporters also forfeited to Misfits too
sturdy granite
Bazooka has a chance
clever portal
I think puppies can still go through?
balmy wolf
slim chance

sturdy granite
if EU beats expert 3-1 and Puppiez beats Esporati 4-0, they tie expert
if EU 4-0s expert and puppiez 4-0s Esp, they get 2nd
balmy wolf
it will come down to map wins then
sturdy granite
exactly, Expert is 13-7 and Puppiez is 10-10 right now
sturdy granite
Alot of known pros on their team, and they have arguably one of the best logos. At the very least, I want to see them move out of their group.
balmy wolf
i mean they'd qualified for season 1 of OW Contenders
if they get out of group stage
basically a chance at a 50K and then the 100K prize pot later
so any team that got out of the group now will have plenty of goal to practice and strive for

we've barely seen nV becuase they've damn near permanenty been at apex

is there a financial incentive to go to apex besides winning it?
sturdy granite
Lol, Envy is pretty much KR at this point
balmy wolf
i mean though it is such a grinding wheel that outside of nV and Rogue most of the teams usually underwent heavy change afterward
old Rogue, Fnatic, NRG, C9, etc etc
I mean Movistar Riders, Immortals, eUnited and Team Liquid could be good pick, but honestly, probably not
balmy wolf
people heavily underrated how stressful APEX is
clever portal
There'll be no more Western teams at apex
We'll need to wait for some world's type event

i would be fine with this format if we got some sort of VOD rewatch on the games that were missed

If Expert losses, 7 of the top 8 teams from qualifiers will advance
if NA standing stay the same, only 4 of the top 8 teams advance

fuuuuuuuck

so 2 will probably be in a reverse double elims bracket
balmy wolf
i mean whoever qualified for the RO8 realistically will be also qualify for next season
clever portal
Season 1 going to be 8 or 16 teams?
If there's 16 there's still a chance for the other teams
balmy wolf
just 8
it is more interesting in NA because the 2 spots are taken by nV and Rogue
so realistically even if you are in playoff
you are not in a sureshot to qualify for season 1
meanwhile EU is more open because it doesn't have that

Gotta love ZP
That EU match could've been the finals as well wow
supple nymph
double round robin but single elim playoffs
balmy wolf
I think single elimination is more exciting because of the pressure
i'd rather have double elims BO3 but yeah
balmy wolf
Besides I'm used it because of real sports so
probably just three of them lol
BO5 are long
supple nymph
yea probably 
balmy wolf
and BO7 is like staggeringly long
supple nymph
i wonder why blizz decided to make the format so experimental rather than starting with what worked for every other tournament
balmy wolf
because 
i mean 4 games series are fine
might as well just score it like soccer tbh
instead of this mish mash hi jinks
3 for wins, 1 for draws and 0 for losses
and tiebreaker being map wins
supple nymph
i dont watch a lot of traditional sports but they dont play this game where some matches get televised some dont right
the mostly all get televised dont they
wintry matrix
in BR Soccer they don't i think, unless you have cable, but even then not EVERYTHING gets show
supple nymph
well, televised or you can just go watch them in person
there are no secret hidden matches behind closed doors
wintry matrix
true
supple nymph
like OW
balmy wolf
i mean the only time where all matches are broadcast are large LAN like Winter Premiere, OW Open or APEX
right now this is just online
LAN you can have like 4 days to do all matches
but in online time constraints are real
wintry matrix
maybe Bliss isn't a fan of 12 hour long tournaments
balmy wolf
this is like what, 6 hours?
and all of the matches being stomp
it is healthy amount tbh
each match last roughly 90 mins
which coincidentally the same length of a soccer match
wintry matrix
yeah, i guess once everything's gets sorted out with cotenders s1 and OWL there won't be as many unstreamed matches
clever portal
There's a massive difference between soccer and this
balmy wolf
each of them BO3
clever portal
In soccer you would probably only watch 1-2 games
wintry matrix
what is the medium length of a Lol match?
clever portal
One thing I don't like about overwatch Bo7
balmy wolf
Football matches usually get shown as highlights
clever portal
Is that it's usually insanely long
OPC is borderline unwatchable
20 min break between each game
balmy wolf
BO7 is a good grand ending, but forcing grand finalist to go through 2 BO5 and then an absolute grinder in BO7 is just fucking sucks
wintry matrix
i can kinda see bo7 in super special matches, but even then the cons outweigh the pros
balmy wolf
BO7 should be a day on its own tbh
instead of squishing together into just a day
and grand finals are super special for most part
wintry matrix
even then i think that's probably too taxing on players stamina
i remember some matches where you could feel how tired they were just by watching how they played
wintry matrix

Dafran is only good because he plays a lot, if i played the same amount of him i'd be pro in no time

rapid oxide
That's not true
Im better of people that have x2 my game time and some that have half of my playtime are better than me
wintry matrix
that was a copypasta, but i didn't bother to search so not sure if it's exatcly like that

pls, I'm better at the people who play more than my entire gametime within a month

What I love about Twitch Chat is that there is always someone typing some long shit then the rest of the chat just copy and paste it over and over again. It is fun to watch. Really fun
wintry matrix
i don't know if i dislike more them or the people that complains about them
like our little scrappy esports community is so much better

You do you, man
I'll still judge fucks that hide only for big rez for stats

oh i thought it was just the usual mercy complain
clever wagon

wintry matrix
srry, i'm just salty, college does that
clever wagon
Sure
supple nymph
mercy is so unfair to play against- your team can be communicating and know exactly where she is but if she guardian angels it's pretty much impossible to stop her from rezzing
worst mechanic in the game
clever wagon
wintry matrix
nah, i'd say that rez needs some tuning, but she ain't invicible
supple nymph
and the rest of the time she's zipping around with auto-heal
so very hard to take her down

did people mock their team name so much now that they decided now that they should be Arc6 instead?

He sounds like a cartoon villain
The worst thing is that he didn't stop after getting roasted
Also, note how Ajax is the one who corrected him, lul

where does the beef between mykl and C9 come from

Older matches from what I read
Or idk

It's the kungarna bunch anyway

It's the NA version of pre game interview

I mean I'm pretty sure mykl won't say shit at LAN to begin with. He can only do it in onlines where he won't see how jacked C9 is.
