Ford is memeing
i was reading along like, yes. indeed. yes. then i just turned on my noggin
spicy uncleswagg drama on twitter

stupid person vs uncleswagg
who shall win

god this is some ugly overwatch
now i want to watch even more the group D matches to see if they are as boring as this night has been
@blazing parrot eh?
@balmy wolf just some really stupid chick who is mad at uncleswagg for some reason
Some grill got banned on twitch
link?
And is salty at Hncleswagg
:^)
It's on Uncleswagg's twitter
@clever wagon STILL WITCH HUNT
90% a troll
:DDDD
Remember, not a witch hunt if it's all open in public
So what I'm doing is not illegal
Fuck you all lulululul
post to proow
dva pls rmb
; )
is there a reason mccree isnt being played? do these teams just not have mccree players?
he was in the last match
Whole kit is too weak against dive
that makes sense.
Pretty niche pick
c9 won 4-0
Against?
hammers
Basically NiP
but ex NIP qualified 
They've had no televised games right?
no
they got the NA curse
Apparently hammers v C9 was broadcasted
or rather
Anyone see that game?
the meta isn't kind to him
it was off stream
it was last week
No last week
not this week
I'll watch the vod tomorrow
I could understand why though
Although they haven't played each other, Kungarna might be as good as the stronger EU dive teams
C9 went far at takeover
Triple tank team being weak against Pharah isn't a surprise as well
is korea the best region in this game
prob yes, although aside from 2 teams at apex there isn't much overlap between teams from differen regions
Atleast it's safe to say the top Korean teams are a level above any team from other regions
Lunatic-Hai, considered the best Korean team, has these results against the best from the west: 3-0
so will they have their own league?
APEX is pretty much their own league with that long format
Currently, at least
No idea about OWL
I think the overwatch open division for Korea is called "road to apex"
APEX is to the Koreans what OWL will be to the Americans
Road to APEX = Open Division -> Challengers = Contenders -> APEX LAN = League
Took Blizz a year and most of western third party pro scenes to come up with 33% of what Korea had developed
At least you guys will have to live through what EU has to 
Western tournament format ๐๐ป
why only 8 matches total and why these teams?
Luckily eUnited finished the game fast yesterday
i mean 8 matches streamed
Can't stream all of em within the time frame
cuz that's the format
Simple as that
They play all games on one day
seriously though there's like 2 hours of games prior to when they start streaming
Over the weekend
And contracted a small studio for the broadcasting
i'm aware of how they're doing it but there's so much dead air time
is there another game that has so many unstreamed games??
like fill in some of the down time with clips from the other matches or something
At least last week, one of the casters was saying in chat that they don't really have a large budget
just feels like a bad format
Nuh-uh, can't do because Contenders S0 is trial
I agree with everything you're saying though
with the quality of those matches i'm more than happy to no have more than four
What was that defence tho
i mean they must have an employee spectating the other games to make sure the results are legit
what the heckl
currently watching https://www.twitch.tv/overwatchcontenders
[Live] Overwatch Contenders - Season Zero - NA Groups: Toronto Esports vs Envision [4 Map Set]
They basically hired Carbon to help them develop Contenders
And to cover both regions with what, 32 teams in total
what the hell did toronto do in between games blow a few rails?
snowball
i am so confused isn't this supposed to be pro
snowballlll
They have employees holding unstreamed games but to broadcast or record it is a whole different matter if you want to keep the quality up
nah nah i'm not asking to broadcast i'm saying record the matches and release them later to watch
Basically NA production
like i couldn't give a fuck about half these teams
i wanna see my boys c9 jump off the objectives
Carbon still deserves credit for what they've been able to do
i'm not upset with the fact that it's happening like this i'm upset that it feels like the tourney was poorly planned or at least a bit of an afterthought
i know they'll do it right for season 1
some exec at blizzard probably ordered carbon to do it in a way that constrained the matches, or just limited their resources so they couldnt

omg
the replays are a really nice touch though
yes
ugh hex
The next two games going to be 
t3 team vs t6 team
dude this genji
really nice consistency
this shit is lit
i'm glad i brought ๐ฟ for this one
Hammers won a map!
oh
Against 
most of their losses were 3-1
I like how the most hyped thing right now is refreshing C9 and Kungarna scores
and they're not even talking about it lol
rigged
was there a DC?
despration widow...im going to use that term from now on
Carry j
choke9
๐ BabyRage JEFF ๐ BabyRage IT'S REDDIT ๐ BabyRage HOG ONE SHOT SOMEONE FROM NOT FULL HEALTH ๐ BabyRage
MYSTERY HEROES
faze 3-0 selfless?
u_u
your dad makes so mmmm good burgers
Selfless burger?
i was talking to oreo
C9 is out
rng 2:0 c9
no clue
:/
๐
only if Hammers shat on Kungarna a bit
If Kungarna do not win, C9 goes through
did someone throw?
Yh, they could win another
1 - 1 
Some maps snowball based off first push
TOO SLOW
it is possible for a 3 ways ties in that group btw
Hex is just disappointed on Toronto now
you can tell they're tilted asf
they were t6 until they won the open qualifier
tier 3
t4 is as low as ill go
tier 3.5
^^
i believe a tie would still keep Kungarna in
That's assuming they draw the game 
but c9 would have to lose 4-0 to RNG
Just C9 need to get a map
if C9 loses 3-1 theyre tied
idk what happens then
if they lose 4-0 theyre out
Unless Kungarna loses again in which case it doesnt matter
so late and tournament not even half over
what a clown fest
Clown9 full held on anubis
we have the best banter don't we folks?
what's c9 score?
We can't see ticks though
must have the shits
RIP
๐ซ
if C9 loses their map and Kungarna wins, Kungarna is in if Kungarna loses theyre out, if Kungarna and C9 both win I think theres some extra tiebreaker
yeah
cuz theyd be tied in points and map score
if the universe is the meme god i think it is
we will see a tiebreaker
it will be a perfect end for the rivalry between them
what Korean Genji flexes are avaiable right now besides presumably Haksal?
2 - 2 
RIP C9
good luck
RIP
All up to C9
BabyRage HELLO RUNAWAY BabyRage ITS KAISER BabyRage PLEASE TAKE ME BACK BabyRage
They need to win and play a Bo3
Mykl will have his last laugh
He's probably typing a tweet right now
technically Kungarna will have less wins than C9, but being the shitlord he is he won't care about that
and C9 has 2
is there a c9/RNG stream?
C9 needs to absolutely win the last map
3 points for win, 1 for draw, 0 for loss
otherwise
no
No stream whatsoever
Talespin is in the chat
ye
someone said C9 got the last map ๐
Spoilers
C9 2 wins they're in playoffs?
how do they lose to rng lol
S4 throwing for dafran
whatre you on about
time for KAISER to earthshatter the team

are those highlights from today
just post the vods asshole
they obv have vods to make highlights
RNG 
lul the timer said 1 hour
how do they mess that up 
holy crap we're almost 2 hours behind schedule
What time is it over at the studio?
this match was supposed to start at 10:15 PM EST
y o i n k s
it is currently midnight
here's the sombra jebaited
[Live] Overwatch Contenders - Season Zero - NA Groups: Toronto Esports vs Envision [4 Map Set] - Clipped by kayla_immerse
it is midnight __
11:01 AM over here I have no idea about schedules ever
OCS was still the most sensible with schedules to use user local time zone on display
....
Ginger Pizza
CLOUD9 won
oh shit
^^^^
So how does C9 compare to Kung in scores
C9 and Kungarna have only played Oasis once (against each other), and C9 won 3 - 0
well Im getting sleepy hopefully Kungarna wins
sooooo
Right CM69 is now one of the Corndogs
2-3 hours left WutFace
it'd be so great if c9 won kun in the tiebreaker, just to see mykl reaction
Lmao
eugh
haHAA squad
btw did people catch Left Guy's mocking Mercy players?
yes
uh oh
"couldn't wrap their heads around Enigma, he's a mystery"
I guess you could say Enigma is... Enigmatic
Ive been watching contenders tf
and I told you that the universe is a meme god
the 3 are together now
@clever wagon thats fucking cringe lel
Waiting for my boi shadder to frag out with low ping
where
Hey, I'm just honoring the haHAA squad to the best of my ability
@balmy wolf lul
RNG lowkey threw cuz they all hate Kungarna lul
Ginger Pizza deserve a better team
is tiebreaker BO3?
REKTANGLED
Kungarna has Bischu too. even ppl think he is from canada.
Liquipedia says tiebreaker is being played in ~17 minutes
Ah so we won't see it
The most heart clenching anime shounen storyline regarding overwatch is happening RIGHT FUCKING NOW and we are NOT witnessing it.
Heart clenching and butt clenching
RIGHT GUY
lmao
""Following Contenders standard practice, they will not stream the first two stages of Oasis, but there will be a clip montage of those rounds. The stream will begin for the third and final stage of the bo3 with a solo cast by LeftGuy SeemsGood""
also, xQC is just throwing now
remember when Denial/YIKES was supposedly tier 2?
I remember
FNRG has too many Koreans
Condition 2 Win: Kill Mercy
why the name change from yikes
Who knows
All I know is my Corndog, Envision, and Bazooka Puppy dreams are coming to life,
my dream of RIP and TL also came alive too
If you looked at these teams 2 months ago, I think these results would look like opposite day
WOW
holy
mercy mains 
some of those boops are real
and so @limber pine
C9 vs Kungarna tiebreaker will be show on stream
How's it going
FNRGFE about to eliminate Yikes
Fuckkk I want to watch so bad
Did they say the tiebreaker is after this matchup or after TL/CLG?
wouldn't it be after tl/clg
Yep
YIKES OUT
RIP YIKES
tiebreakers are normally last
Jeez that was close
now if the night ends with C9 qualified
tiebreaker is supposedly after the last match now
that'd be lit
Someone monitor xQc's twitter
not really
it will be live
Our games are not streamed, but you could see a few highlights from @PlayOverwatch Contenders @FaZeClan https://t.co/SWuT09o6Tc

xQC on Roadhog
Arc6 is not even trying now
they got further with the hog though lol
Arc6 not even try to die with dignity now
rofl that blade
BUDS NO
that's what i like to see from a pro play
HE STILL HAS A FAMILY
did you guys see that brief look at the behind the scenes costom game
three spectators
i find that shit cool
Brah NA scene is lit ๐ฅ af now I cant even
Ive got u in my sights
this is gonna be a long night
anyone gonna watch the CLG vs TL series?
me
fan
im taking a drink for every ult
anyone in a voice chat watching dis?
I kinda wish they would turn off hte voicelines for spectators
that's how i play in comp
I would say I wish Echo Fox had a team but after a week like this I'm okay with Rick taking his time. 
<----Echo Fox fan
RAPHA
THAT BOOP
@vestal ermine inb4 them picking FNRGFE
you know the spectators are using controllers. those nice nice sweeps and shit
tbh i'd love to be behind the lens of one of those spectator cams
@balmy wolf It'd be nice, Rick Fox showing up out of no where at the end of Contenders and hands FNRGFE their brand new Echo Fox Jerseys
Shadder on NA ping 
NA would never be the same again
only a matter of time, HYPE!
https://twitter.com/rickfox/status/840808180619739139
isn't that the lead character of the first watch_dogs game
just the main character of the Los Angeles Lakers between 1997 and 2004
Oh shit, hek
Liquid is 1-0 CLG though
How many map wins does CLG need?
Well, there's also a chance that CLG beats liquid, but I doubt it
zarya 
CLG is up 2-0 on this map however
Zarya, Reaper, and Bastion are all making comebacks
I mainly play OW on the xbox, Bastion never went away for me
lol, well in tourney play, he's almost never seen. The only thing more rare lately is symmetra or junkrat
throwing
:(
Most likely. Don't think the wins here will affect much
GLG has to win the series to be in?
who else is in?
Liquid, Faze, C9, Renegades, LG Evil, Envision, Immortals, FNRGFE
and why the best of 4 format? why not best of 3 or 5 like everyone else?
ah
I'll never get over the Detroit Renegades. Is Montecristo still part-owner of that team?
no
Silk is eating Shadder alive
oh dear
WHY
mikkel won!?
C9 
Such a c9 thing to do
r/cow is about to errupt
wait, just one map for a tiebreaker? lame!
Those Zen picks
Couldn't end any other way
C9 LUUL
this all wouldn't had happened if Runaway got a sponsor
IMT vs Faze lmao
Bye Faze
LUL
i'm just pissed that i sent a bunch of people those screencaps
and now i'm going to apologize for them
possibly with a bunch of angry emails about that
"oh C9 won"
C9 choked as hard as they possibly can and they deserved it
They should rename to choke 9. That way they can still sell C9 shirts from the dumpster
There was a team in the open qualifiers that was "Clown 9"
lol, I member that
[Live] Overwatch Contenders - Season Zero - NA Groups: Cloud9 vs Kungarna [Tiebreaker] - Clipped by itsteccs
Babybay and his toggle
@nimble bobcat
You mean when he was shooting at kaiser?
and then snaps to the middle of the point?
yeah
his tracking at Kaiser is unnaturally smooth too
Well thats always been babybay
He didnt snap to anyone either
like no one is mid point
given his history
i'll always look at him suspiciously
Same tbh
When you just used tac visor but you still need it so you use your own
The fact that he showed zero regret about the ESEA ban also says a lot
delet pls :eyes:
you'd get hyped after you deliver on your trash talk too
at this point all of my goodwill toward C9 is out of the windows
I got up early enough to catch CLG vs Liquid and Kugnarna vs C9
lit
When I heard it was an Oasis tiebreaker I was like "oh this is easy for C9"
Gardens first
99-100

uni
100-0

city center
so many questions for C9
100-35

mfw you lose the easiest tiebreaker of your life
why the role switch? why the poor hero choices?
Literally a free win
Where's B1shop? Hello?
that was great craic
i wanted kungarna through anyway
babybay is a joy to watch
according to reddit
apparently they has been running this all days
all the comp changes and such
for the amount of roster change and money they've spent on their OW roster
C9 is dangerously approaching NRG tier of meme

sigh
Liquid got such an easy quarter final
well they toyed with
earlier
throwing so that people can watch C9 C9'd themselves
either way
Kelvin and the Chipmunks died for this
They didnt throw though
I could tell they werent really trying because they knew they were in already
they were trying out new shits. They 4-0'd CLG last week, and has keep up with Faze and Selfless.
basically a near throw
The closest they came to throwing was putting shadder on mccree for like 5 minutes
well Liquid had to make up for the League team
They've run Sombra on R66 defence before
multiple times
it was just ID instead of shadder
Obviously dahang doesnt play 76 but he only switched for the stall and then fragged out
i mean tbh
all of my dreams came through
RIP qualified for playoff
and Liquid is close to qualififed for next season
All of mine came true except for one
Hammers 
well, it is rough for them
playing in new meta, etc etc
they can probably bounce off of it tbh
at least they are not C9.........
C9 is absolutely meme tier now
IMT, FNRGFE, Liquid and FaZe all got to playoffs
and Kungarna beat C9
so good
How are the top 6 decided again?
this playoff bracket is going to be brutal
no clue. Probably the same way as how Kelvin flunked out
my guess for the top 4 will be Immortals, LG Evil, Renegades and Team Liquid
the rest will be a crapshoot
Honestly, the only team I really want in is Liquid
I still do want FNRGFE to go through
And FaZe
That will be tough for FaZe though
I kind of feel like Liquid is just guaranteed semis
Liquid pulled the biggest con out of everyone
getting the last seed
then getting first in group
and now match up with a tier 2 team
did Rapha pull the shit?
of course ConnorJ might ruined the day but a 4-0 against a tier 2 team isn't going to say much
EnV definitely isn't bad
They still have lots of potential
But in their current state vs Liquid
I dont see them winning
the better question is after the nVidia bootcamp
is Shadder going to be back to EU?
or is he going to stay in Liquid house?
AMA I guess
Surefour with the pity stream?
@balmy wolf : this gy has been aimboting since S1
@nimble bobcat on the scale of 1 to Calvin, how obvious is his aimbotting?
this clip isn't
at all
but there are other from him that are
this clip shows nothing
the flick doesnt lock on tracer
and teh smoothness of the tracking can come from 40cm/360 sens + spec cam
tfw you are having the same sens of 40 cm/360 but will never get that smooth tracking 
what should i practice then? it sounds like that kind of tracking is achievable
i'm 12.5cm and my tracking is also super smooth
smoothness comes from "skill"
you have to force yourself to be smooth
that's all
that's how you build skill
the smoothest i've ever been is practicing with bots in Quake where they ADAD like mad men
but never been able to replicated it in real situation
you can't practice smoothness against dodgers
feelsbadman
so how to force myself to be "smooth" then?
you can train against a friend going winston, 0 cooldown jump
and try to track him in air
as smooth as possible
force yourself to be smooth
try to track as smooth as possible
also, spec cam are really retarded @balmy wolf
so its very hard to be 100% convinced that someone is aimboting through them
ah
Aimer? In #esports? What is this?
What the fuck? C9 lost their tiebreaker?
FailFish
yeah
What the fuck happened
Not hard at all
C9 pulling a liquid
And that is?
Choking
^
This was lit
Gunning for that IMT/Liquid final now
I'm gonna believe in my boys till the end
RNG is a very tough hurdle to pass
they need to win against Envision first
honestly if they keep up their form
they probably will
Fury and Shadder2K might be just staying in Liquid house in CA
while the rest back to where they are
I'm gonna guess they'll stay together till their eliminated
Also I just assume they're going to beat EnV
Because I mean
they will
3 weeks in CA at nVidia bootcamp is going to be a long task
bootcamping never really last that long
but i'm not in Team Liquid discord lol
Any sitrep on Twatter?
Holy shit
I feel asleep
After all that
Mykl was right 
Let me check twitter
That was mild
But Kaiser: even though I hate you, gg 
nico is a good player
https://clips.twitch.tv/TawdryEvilOilTebowing
lmao
One trick 21% win rate, 3700 SR
Just Mercy OTP fucks
Let's all start one tricking Mercy to make a statement
But Mercy is so fucking boring it's hard
LOL that screenshot is 8/8
they ran that comp when they stomped kungarna 3-0 on the same map
100-0'd 3 times too
One trick 21% win rate, 3700 SR
Just Mercy OTP fucks
How it works?
I have mercy main with 39% winrate and her rating is 1400
LUL
@wary falcon everyone has a hidden MMR
So the 21% winrate mercy probably has a MMR of a GM
Far as I can read that Mercy didn't one trick in S4 to climb to masters
But the fact that theyve been able to maintain that SR one tricking Mercy with 21% win rate in S5 is the problem
Which means they still gain more SR when they win than they lose to actually have their SR decrease and derank
So it's same as Torbjorn and Sombra?
basically i have accounts with low winrate and OTP this heroes
but still floating on low GM
Yh for some reason it affects Mercy as well
Torb and Sombra are used for trolling, so it makes sense
But mercy's stats make no sense
Uh will try to reach asian top-500 as mercy main btw
Far as I know SR looks at raw stats/numbers
The difference between other one trick off meta picks and Mercy is that it's super easy to ramp up Mercy's numbers
Most of it being rez's
Compare that to Torb and Sym
What can you do with them to ramp up your stats
But torb and sym give a lot of SR
Because many people pick them and do nothing
So if you play them normally you get rewarded
Because you're better than "average"
Torb gives me 40-50 per win
Is there app like CS:GO MM Server Picker?
tired of playing on Aussie server with 600 ping
How much do you lose?
10-20
600 ping? ouchie
yesterday was a disappointment
so whats happened since i went to sleep?
C9 and Yikes out
Kungarna drew 2-2 Vs Hammers
C9 lost to RNG 3-1
Leading to Bo3 Oasis tiebreaker which they lost

that tiebreaker was salty as fuck to watch
Gods on D.va
Xepher on Tracer
won Garden with Pharmercy. Then proceed to lose the other 2 by running Genji Tracer
with Surefour on Genji
and i'm not even C9 fan

B1shop? Hello? Why the role change?
apparently this is the comp they run when 3-0'd Kungarna earlier
but still
i'm not even C9 fan
It's their way to exist
their Dota 2 squad was most loved and hated at the same time
C9 dropped them
I guess it was mutual decision
and so far most of the rebuild with the rosters usually follows a similar pattern
they got a lot of 2nd places
and their players are all walking memes
especial EternalEnvy
it's feel weird
0 big upsets yesterday
Well there was FNRGFE 4-0ing Arc
At this point I feel like there's no point predicting NA
Liquid is either T1 or T3
Tempo I don't even know anymore
EU was definately more predicable than NA
Not really
They've both been pretty inconsistent since their first showings
IMT has only stabilized since getting the imports
I would say they've been consistent
And you cant really judge evil because their group was a joke
Only really losing to Selfless or each other
EU was definately more predicable than NA
yeah
it was much easier for me because EU has more stable teams and difference between tiers was clear
(just bet on Rogue and EUnited (if they don't face Rogue))
I think
are the wild cards
You know they can beat everyone
But they can lose to everyone as well
eUnited should be 
Can go out first round
Watch that game not be streamed
They will stream 123 vs RiP
Schedule out?
Strange
EU times are sooner
Finals at 11
If you consider NiP time zone, its 12 for them though
Not complaining though
Misfits game went till 2 am first week
NA final at 6 am 
The "trashtalk" with C9 made me enjoy the tiebreaker, otherwise i wouldn't give a flying fuck
Do you believe me i never saw a contenders match?
That was the only one
Something is missing on contenders that doesn't make me watch it
@wary falcon you'd still be doing more as Torb than Mercy will, in reality
But SR looks at raw numbers and not actual contributions
So
something missing in contenders
hmmm
I wonder what
maybe 84% of the matches?
yeah, that's likely one of the things missing
No
pls let me be salty in peace don't ruin it >.<
the annoying thing is that they didn't stream half the good matches

But guys, guys, Blizz is still in development process of 33% of what Korea has developed
Unpopular opinion: i dont like ZP and Hex

Cut Blizz some slack
Blizz sheep btw haHAA
Im ok with them but lack of hype
as long as you still like uber and jason I won't hate you
PapaSmithy fan btw
No hype = ๐ค
oh yeah, you mentioned that earlier
Obviously 
also, the fuckign marketing guy for LK
Okay, where do I get that emote Vace?
Megumi 
New signing for LK?
LOL esportpedia followed me 
You can be the water boy
<< not this megumi
@cold cometie you'd still be doing more as Torb than Mercy will, in reality
i don't really care just wondering if i will be able to get good rating as mercy on asian server
with high ping
when i wrote about it i decided to play
played 5 games
lose all 5 games
but i used rez asap
and lose 40 pts after 5 games
or even less than 40, ~35
35 net loss for 5 games?
yeah
you're at 4,3k, right?
Well, there's your problem
not yet
it's around 3k now
i think i will be able to get 4k but have a doubt about t500
as i understand mercy main tool to get pts is her ultimate?
right?
And dumbfuck Mercy one tricks keep defending this shit
Elo hell it's true
It's a huge factor for SR as far as we know I believe yes
Elo hell with performance SR EleGiggle
Of course dumbfuck Mercy otps will defend it, otherwise they cant play comp and will get flamed on sight
You can escape it, just one trick Mercy
I didn't meet elo hell
and i had like 20+ accounts where i got 4k
from season 2 to season 5
20+ accounts 
you know what i mean
Also can't use FeelsRageMan
Personally i think Mercy's kit is really imbalanced
all you need is pharah/widow and winston
to release her full potential
don't see her much in pro games ๐ฆ
DVa?
D.va has good vertical mobility but winston is more than enough for mercy
both tanks will put mercy in danger
while she needs to wait for her passive
so widow/pharah are crucial for her
pff
junkrat counter mercy
how could you are top 500? smh
Dont talk unless you are high elo (500+ SR) FailFish
mercy could be deleted from the game i wouldn't cry
I want junkrat to be part of game
He needs better projectile speed and less aoe + more traps?
i guess
faster projectles with a less extreme arc + lower firerate and lower AoE
maybe only make them explode on a direct before it hits the ground

3-0 


is in

was pretty good
