what are you on about

[clever wagon]

I thought they were competing in EU still, didn't notice their presence much

Fuck I need to stop being an idiot, but reading those things on Reddit are addicting learning how people become more and more stupid each day.

[knotty acorn]

Oh lawd, cosplay announcements for Sydney... So by next week maybe talent announced?

[clever wagon]

I got a 4K with Hanju in QP, I assure you I'm qualified for Open Division SeemsGood

[rapid oxide]

Where is that?

[clever wagon]

I'm thinking China

Idk

'Cause I can see some calligraphy writing in the 1st pic

Then "weibo", which belongs to the Chinese

[rapid oxide]

Looks amazing! wish i has the money/time to fly and attend this kind of events

[vestal mortar]

I just paid off my friend for my hotel room in Poland, I hope it'll be pretty cool too!

[clever portal]

So I looked it up

Open Division starts July 3rd

This will be the ONLY overwatch during world cup

[vestal mortar]

wat?

[clever portal]

World cup is July-August for groups

Till now there are no other tournaments planned during this time

[vestal mortar]

Ah yeah, makes sense since so many pros will be on WC teams

[clever portal]

Feels bad for other teams though

NA team has people from C9/RNG/LG Evil/FaZe/Selfless/Arc6

Only three of those are in S1 contenders

So I guess the others will need to reschedule games around WC

[rapid oxide]

Since envy and rogue spot are taken, how to decide which team is eliminated tonight?

[clever portal]

They'll play lower 'bracket' like in EU

Except the losers are eliminated from S1

[wary falcon]

hey anyone want to play competitive for my friends team?

[clever wagon]

So ID is out of Liquid's OW?

Like not even a sub anymore?

Or some of our other favorite terms, "benched", "inactive"?

[rapid oxide]

Prob doing it on spare time

He has only to do one match today

Maybe they are gonna use a sub tonight

[clever portal]

I think Talespin is a sub

Will he finally play

[clever wagon]

Yeah on the other hand Talespin is already a sub too

[clever portal]

Oh wait

Isn't fury on liquid?

[forest raven]

Yep

"No serious team stream their scrims:

[clever wagon]

Fuck that

Teams can just stream or not, up to them

You think USA is so top secret, you do you

[gusty notch]

[rapid oxide]

Im just memeing, ik that UK team is not a serious team

[clever wagon]

They SLASHED him!!!

[rapid oxide]

NSFW

Gore

[clever wagon]

NSFW, guro, violence, dismemberment

[toxic yacht]

And nothing of value was lost

but hey

eUnited won something

[clever wagon]

Yeh

[toxic yacht]

only took them a year

lol

[balmy wolf]

or 2 years

2nd in Atlantic Showdown

bottom of group in OW Open

2nd in OW Pit

2nd in Takeover 2

😆

[clever wagon]

Are they like the EU version of old Selfless, considering that record

[wary falcon]

but they are good

[balmy wolf]

eUnited is LAN tested

[clever wagon]

But they're good

[balmy wolf]

Selfless is not

[clever wagon]

Yeah I guess

[balmy wolf]

another aspect that i also think should be noted is that LK for all the stuff about the KR bootcamp

never really fulfill the potential of their roster so far

some of the EU members of their roster atm is kind of lacking

[solid spear]

I mean I know Emongg said before the big Lans only wanna invite teams with LAN experience but you can never get LAN experience without getting invited

Nowadays at least

[balmy wolf]

his team failed to qualify for S1 of Contenders

where's there's LAN finals

at this point of pro OW with good online records you can expect some form of LAN invite

but Selfless imploded with Dafran throwing the entire team off

[clever wagon]

Well, not their fault there's absolute 0 LAN in 2017 except for TakeOver

And even TakeOver is mostly EU with what, 2 NA invites being C9 and Rogue?

[balmy wolf]

Takeover invites were sent out way before Selfless's rise to top of tier 3

aka the onliners tier

[clever wagon]

4Head "We only accept LAN-tested teams"
no LANs all the way up to Q2-Q3

[balmy wolf]

blame for that

[clever wagon]

Exactly

[solid spear]

Yeah Im just saying like Selfless isnt not LAN tested by choice

[toxic yacht]

you can thank a certain Daniel "Denmark's gift to esports" Franesca for them 100% not qualifying

[clever wagon]

Also exactly @solid spear

[balmy wolf]

Dreamhack, ESL and the likes haven't has a LAN either because they don't find it to make sense financially or just straight up not want anyone to host

[toxic yacht]

they had a hard group, so it'd have been tough anyway

[balmy wolf]

🔫

[toxic yacht]

but Denmark's gift to esports pretty much 100% killed their chances

[balmy wolf]

would have qualify too if Dafran didn't throw his whole team away, yeah

[clever wagon]

It's hilarious how in 2016 all those eSports organizers gave their hand to run OW

ESL, DreamHack, MLG...

[toxic yacht]

you can thank for that

the scene was growing so fucking fast

[clever wagon]

Then just straight up shut the door in 2017

[toxic yacht]

they saw that it had potential

[solid spear]

Well Blizz threw them off with OWL and guess what its probably not even fucking coming out this year

[clever wagon]

"Oh shit look at this, we should have the biggest piece of the eSports pie. Wait no, we should take all of it"

[balmy wolf]

MLG Vegas was post Blizzcon though

and I suspected it is less overall as much as it is USA

[toxic yacht]

blizzcon

you mean

[clever wagon]

But isn't it safe to assume planning and whatnot were done some months before

[toxic yacht]

they could like

[balmy wolf]

because KR never seems to have any progblem with OGN

[toxic yacht]

have told the tournament organizers a bit about their plans

but nope, blizz decided to kill the entire scene so that they could reshape it in their own manner

[clever wagon]

They could like, inform everybody about their plans

[toxic yacht]

and if it doesn't work out, then they killed a game with a ton of potential

[balmy wolf]

If you noticed, Takeover 2 was running in the same format as OW COntenders

if this told me anything

is that for future events

either you follow lockstep with like the SS

or else

[clever wagon]

If it proceeds to fall out, it's gonna be tough for me. On one side I feel bad for the players and orgs that have invested themselves this far, but on the other is getting karma

[solid spear]

I miss 2016 Overwatch

[balmy wolf]

it probably will blow up within the first year. After that, it is a crap shoot

I just want OW_Summit

basically NA TAkeover

[toxic yacht]

at least takeover 2 had double elim

[balmy wolf]

the 4 games series is kind of fatigued at this point. It looked good on paper but all the Contenders matches has been one sided stomp

might as well just make it BO5 so that there's one less game overall

[clever wagon]

I mean it'd be a dark joke if 2016, being the first 7 months of Overwatch ended up as the best period Overwatch has ever had

[balmy wolf]

if fail, has nothing but themselves

their own hubris and pride

remember StarCraft 2?

That esport fucking went well

[clever wagon]

But didn't it like run for 10 years or smth before themselves crashed and burned it

I really don't know about SC eSport

[balmy wolf]

StarCraft Brood War

that's the one running for 10 years

and got to be an esport by Koreans with none of the 's assisstance

[toxic yacht]

brood war was the one that blizzard had barely any involvement in

[clever wagon]

So

[toxic yacht]

that's why it went well

lul

not because of blizz

[clever wagon]

The only Blizzard game that took off as one of the most popular game in eSports history was mostly run by Koreans and Koreans alone

[toxic yacht]

in other words, I don't trust blizzard with this

[clever wagon]

That's a hilarious shit to put in your CV

[balmy wolf]

StarCraft 2 shared a parallel with OW by the way: crappy balance philosophy. As far as I know, SC2 tried to enforce 50/50/50 balancing

and it blew up in the face pro-wise and competitive matchmaking wise

iirc there was a strat that was OP in pro but they were let it pass in competitive matchmaking because "its win rate was only 50%"

it took them a long while before patching anything

seems familiar? 🤔

[clever wagon]

People: "OWL hell yeah"
: "oh do take note that we had nothing to do the only game of ours that really took off"

I mean haven't there been arguments saying having a deep root in eSports?

[toxic yacht]

they have deep roots in forcing esports scenes/fucking up good scenes

[clever wagon]

No I mean like those articles unironically saying that

[balmy wolf]

those are probably paid by

of course, there's always exception ala Hearthstone. But that game is also a crapshoot with the amount of RNG involves

[rapid oxide]

Im still positive

And remember that Blizzard > Riot and Valve

Myabe not the esport side

But the rest is way better

The esport is not dead

At least not now

OWL has to come out

[clever wagon]

I mean yeah if it takes off it takes off

But the thing that really matters now is the eSport side

[rapid oxide]

If it's fail, we will go back 2016

But it won't

[clever wagon]

Hoping they would come back after shut the door on their faces in favor of OWL?

[rapid oxide]

The true problem if it's that will grow or will be stady

Game have potential

People like us will still watch esport

I wont stop watching esport just because owl failed

[toxic yacht]

is it me or is Taimou a bit of a boring player

like u see it at the end of the game
"oh wow Taimou has 32 kills"
but u can never remember them.

can u remember a single Taimou kill ?

but try AKM...u can see the flick
i remember a AKM flick.

[clever wagon]

Is that a pasta

[toxic yacht]

yes

[clever wagon]

Thank god

If you were being serious I was gonna have to assume you got hacked by some stupid bitch

Been getting downvotes recently on r/cow. Being a "snob" once in a while was worth it though.

[clever portal]

To be honest Taimou on soldier is nothing special

Too bad Taimou can't play Lucio

[clever wagon]

But flashiness isn't gonna win you the game 100%

[clever portal]

CarryHook could have played Soldier

[clever wagon]

LOOOL 13 matches 75% penalty

I really don't give a shit about boxes at this point tbh

[balmy wolf]

I don't have any particular liking toward exclusive skins and shit, but I guess people always do

[clever wagon]

It's not something to die for, but when you're going face to face with the bullshit RNG rates

Can't help but wonder how the fuck did this system take off in gaming to begin with

I guess money

[balmy wolf]

Skinner's box

basically a video game version of crack.

[clever wagon]

Thank goodness I've never spent any money on those though

Never have, never will

[rapid oxide]

I don't give a shit about skin

People play the game solely for that

Afaik Overwatch isn't a costume collector simulator

[clever portal]

Yeah, some people just play for the skins

Like some people just play comp for gold guns

[balmy wolf]

i found skins to be interesting

everyone got the same skins

and exclusive skins are also meaningless since there are other people who has it too

it doesn't have any monetary value

and it is not like in CSGO where skins are tradable

so......why is OW's skin so high on people's priority list?

Because people like cosmetics

so they are as shallow as their next of kin. Gotcha

[rapid oxide]

They want to fap over their waifu probably

[toxic yacht]

I'm completely fine with lootboxes

therefore that the game and all content is free after purchase

this is a perfectly fine tradeoff

[rapid oxide]

Joke aside, see genji (for example) the same skin is getting boring for some

But i don't play ow for skin, if I've the opportunity cool, but im not gonna spent money or be a lifess nerd and grind for a skin

I'm playing to have fun and git gut

[balmy wolf]

Also tfw your old team is letting go of of a really good tank main and you are about poach him 👀

[solid spear]

I dont need skins to fap to my waifu Vace tyvm

[rapid oxide]

That's why they created body pillow

[solid spear]

[balmy wolf]

btw fapping to non-porn thing will always be a mystery to me

if i want to fap to OW character i'd look up their porn

not waiting for skins or just my own head to fantasize it

[solid spear]

But uh yeah esports 👀

[toxic yacht]

same oreo

default skins work too

although fucking

thing

cruiser dva

has revolutionized SFM art

[solid spear]

Idk I kinda like officer more tbh

But that's a personal thing

[toxic yacht]

well, I could get into detail why

but esports is amazing

Welcome to NA

[rapid oxide]

That flash was a fail too tbh

[wary falcon]

Any predictions for upcoming matches?

[limber pine]

based on the fact that EU went odd yesterday

not any good ones

[wary falcon]

C9 won 16-3 over F3 on mirage

i don't want to live

[balmy wolf]

IMT win tbh

[wary falcon]

in this world

[limber pine]

maybe with and in the finals

[balmy wolf]

I want to believe in my boys liquid

But beating RNG will be hard as fuck

[limber pine]

tru

[wary falcon]

So i should go all-in on Immortals against Faze?

🤔

[limber pine]

i really want to do well, just not sure what no ConnorJ will do

[wary falcon]

Joemeister playing for Faze, i remember him in CS:GO

he is example of bad tier-3 NA player

🤔

[rapid oxide]

Good riddance F3 got destroyed

F3 doesn't want to get an OW team

[wary falcon]

F3 struggling in every videogame

[rapid oxide]

IMT RNG my call

[wary falcon]

Max bet is only $350

Bookmakers don't really like Overwatch

very low limits for some reason

[clever portal]

Probably hard to give any odds

For example LH AFb

Had AFB 81% to win on stats

[wary falcon]

so you can farm stats against easy enemies

and then got 1.9 to win

[rapid oxide]

Bet is an habit i don't want to take tbh

Imo is more the money you lose than earn

[wary falcon]

it's ups and downs

biggest amount of winnings is $5000 for me

and lose is 2k

[hallow fable]

Serious question, how is rogue an NA team when its all french?

[solid spear]

because the nationality of the players doesnt determine what the team is considered

If Manchester United signs 11 Brazilians that doesnt turn them into a Brazilian club

[hallow fable]

IS rogue atleast located in NA?

Like a team house?

[solid spear]

yeah

Vegas

[wary falcon]

No need to compare cybersport and soccer

SK are playing and living in NA

they are not NA team

[rapid oxide]

Miro is with someone with nick SKT1FAKER but can't understand who really is

And he's in the same team of taimou

[clever portal]

Faker

[rapid oxide]

Ok chat say hes Bunny

[wary falcon]

can't believe

Immortals are going to play on major

[solid spear]

hmm?

[balmy wolf]

honestly jaru > connorj @limber pine

going by jaru's recent play with TO

[clever portal]

Wow, this CS chat

Atleast in Overwatch they add some names and copy paste

[wary falcon]

CS chat is VAC, twitch emotes

[clever portal]

SMOrc ME BRAZILIAN SMOrc ME SPAM SMOrc NO MOD SMOrc I GO HAM SMOrc

[rapid oxide]

That's why OW Spam > CS Spam

[clever portal]

So if Immortals win are they in?

[balmy wolf]

In?

[wary falcon]

in major

[rapid oxide]

This is OW esport channel btw

Even if its plural

[vestal mortar]

OW esports btw

[wary falcon]

haHAA?

IMT in, can't wait to hear their autistic screeching

[clever portal]

They did it!

[rapid oxide]

Bad Brazilian team lul

[balmy wolf]

fair play to IMT though

their CSGO team went from irrelevant to relevant in a good period of time

[wary falcon]

they always were relevant

they became tier-2 team when they were Tempo Storm

Always wanted their logo

[balmy wolf]

tier 2 NA lol

now they are tier 2 world

[wary falcon]

not really, tier-2 world

eh 23 minutes till my boy shadowburn will steal my money

RIP Linepro? 🤔

Crusade and mow reunited

[toxic yacht]

at least the guys from cyclwons are finding teams

they're a very talented bunch

[wintry matrix]

also that

[toxic yacht]

shouldn't be FAs for long

[balmy wolf]

rip poks

[toxic yacht]

ya, I was also thinking of poks

he was fucking amazing

[balmy wolf]

I kind of wish linkzr was on another team tbh

[toxic yacht]

I'm assuming that he should also get a spot really soon

[balmy wolf]

So RiP could have Poks Davin

[toxic yacht]

yee

[balmy wolf]

Such a good dps duo dude

[toxic yacht]

RiP linkzr still sounds kind of off

[balmy wolf]

ngl, they could kick someone else

put linkz on off tank

[toxic yacht]

pls

[balmy wolf]

get poks

[toxic yacht]

zappis' beard

is godlike

if they kick him

[balmy wolf]

it doesnt exist anymore

mind you, RIP is all-Finnish

[toxic yacht]

the team falls apart

oh yeah, his beard is dead

[balmy wolf]

there's a reason why Devin and Linkzr went straight to RIP after their team disbanded

[toxic yacht]

ya, Zappis is 0/10 now

also, I know that linkzr used to play off-tank

but putting such a versatile dps on off-tank permanently

honestly feels like a bit of a waste

[balmy wolf]

kind of like putting Surefour on Zarya duty

🤔

[toxic yacht]

or tviq

well, back when he played off-tank he used to play dps a ton anyway

[balmy wolf]

id just prefer to see poks and davin again

[toxic yacht]

same

[balmy wolf]

could also just have an 8 man roster

[toxic yacht]

tbh the 2 ideal EU ow rosters

first roster:

[balmy wolf]

Old Rogue & Cyclone

[toxic yacht]

DPS: TviQ, aKM
Tanks: Rainforce, Winz
Supports: Unkoe, KnoxXx

other roster

DPS: Poks, Davin
Tanks: Destro, Mowazqzeqzrqezfwe
Supports: Crusade, Boombox

[balmy wolf]

lol same teams

obviously though

[toxic yacht]

man

it'd be lit

if those guys were on the same team

I bet the first team

would win a bunch of international majors

[balmy wolf]

It'd be hilarious if months after this Tviq requested for a trade ala Godsent/Fnatic

[toxic yacht]

and probably be the best team in the world

[balmy wolf]

that 2nd roster would probably be the best up and coming EU team

and then get poached before a LAN

[toxic yacht]

:(

I still dream of unpoached cyclowns at takeover 2

I can watch the qualifiers again, I guess :/

[wary falcon]

Godsent/Fnatic

worst trade ever in history of esports?

[wintry matrix]

context?

[balmy wolf]

old Fnatic was a Swedish CSGO powerhouse

then they traded 2 of their best players to another Swedish team

and both Fnatic/Godsent didn't amounted much

later those two guys requested to be trade back

and now, Godsent just got eliminated from the Krakow qualifier stage

while Fnatic performed absolutely like crap even with old members back

[toxic yacht]

lmao

[wintry matrix]

Misfits and LG then

/s

[toxic yacht]

heard of the trade, but I never payed much attention to what happened after that

inb4 Flusha's 24 wall wallbang bots stopped working and they're shit now

[balmy wolf]

Fnatic is going to lose their legend spot this year

[clever portal]

Isn't Fnatic back?

[balmy wolf]

"back"

you mean limping back?

[clever portal]

They had a close game with SK

[balmy wolf]

and that's about it

https://puu.sh/wzSb6/b4b88bbd8f.png

[wary falcon]

fnatic went into shit

[clever portal]

I'm sure they can make top 8

Maybe they'll get lucky

[balmy wolf]

Navi and Fnatic probably going to lose their legends spot

unless both of them can pull out some old man strength

[clever portal]

C9 CS choke9 as well?

[balmy wolf]

they qualified

so so far they haven't choke just yet

[clever portal]

I think choke9 for overwatch needs to turn into something related to misfits

choke9 sounds better than chokefits though

Maybe lulfits

[wary falcon]

CS squad of C9 is poor

they don't have any tactics

they have shroud though

the only good side is their pop flashes and executions

[balmy wolf]

they looked decent so far in the qualifier

but if you want legendary CSGO choke you need to mention

which coincidentally PLEASE DON'T PULL A

[velvet scarab]

c9 has stewie2k as well

[clever portal]

What did they do

[velvet scarab]

who is better than shroud

[balmy wolf]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ElPvR3kupM

they nearly become the first NA team to win a major

"nearly"

[wary falcon]

better than shroud is not achievement

[supple nymph]

[balmy wolf]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/6kuh2f/crusade_joins_laser_kittenz_after_successful_trial/djovqev/

[supple nymph]

so now they have 8 players 3 coaches?

innovative

[wintry matrix]

is that slang for bench?

[clever portal]

I like how they have so many players

But never switch

They always stick to the same 6

Except now they swapped in Crusade

That video lul

Can't wait to see NiP on Major oh wait 4Head

Btw just watched VOD of Blank vs FW

[rapid oxide]

NiP made fragi shave his beard, i hate NiP now

"Today Blank might not have won, but they have proven that God does bleed and taken two maps off Flash Wolves"

"Flash Wolves can sense that victory is close and can feel the final breaths of blank like a pack of wolves"

I wish I could remember the exact quotes

and the counter engage was also nice too

[clever portal]

Very good play

[supple nymph]

who needs peelers when your whole team is mobile

[balmy wolf]

1-2

[limber pine]

oh boi

[clever portal]

The reverse sweep

[supple nymph]

butt shot

[balmy wolf]

the fuck was that dive from Primo

[supple nymph]

LOL

[balmy wolf]

Buds

[limber pine]

it's so interesting to see teams that are so good at one kind of map, but terrible at others

[balmy wolf]

Gilbraltar is not a balanced map at all

[supple nymph]

he mentioned another game not by blizzard

[limber pine]

Is that a pro hanzo?

[balmy wolf]

oh come on

that sound barrier

[clever portal]

Gibraltar looks good for FNRGFE

Reminder that C9 lost to this team

[balmy wolf]

like I said

veterans strength

Buds and Coolmatt69

[supple nymph]

who needs an org

[clever portal]

Kungarna 3-1

What was the clip

[balmy wolf]

Kruise stalling Destro on anubis last

[wary falcon]

wtf

[wintry matrix]

damn

[balmy wolf]

Easy for budboy

[wary falcon]

they should run pharah every time to win

i presume

[balmy wolf]

Muma feeeeding

[wary falcon]

BlessRNG I USED TO HAVE NO FRIENDS BlessRNG BUT NOW I HAVE BUDS BlessRNG

[clever portal]

Muma always out of position

[balmy wolf]

Primo even worse

[wary falcon]

OSFrog Mercy Rez OSFrog

[balmy wolf]

not killing Mercy

[wintry matrix]

let's go 5x4 games bois

[clever portal]

[wintry matrix]

it would be somewhat funny if after their domination in a stacked group RNG just flounders on their first streamed match

[wary falcon]

i thought primo is retarded winston after his dive into sombra

but then i realised it was all according to plan

[wintry matrix]

that zen death..

[wary falcon]

he was like solo q with x5 stack

[wintry matrix]

is reaper really good on anubis point b? maybe because of short space

[balmy wolf]

yes

[dusty surge]

Reaper is good in any situation where you have to run into his optimal range.

[balmy wolf]

and also @wintry matrix you just described RNG in a nutshell

[dusty surge]

2cp points are just tiny and have no cover, so it lends itself to it.

[balmy wolf]

good in spurt, and collapse when it mattered

[wintry matrix]

it makes sense, i just wondered why run him instead of Tracer in this meta

[balmy wolf]

and also with their Group B performance

lolz

[dusty surge]

His TTK is much lower than Tracer if you can aim the shotguns optimally.

[wintry matrix]

LGE has a history of Liquid-ing, and Kungarna has momentum (only team to not lose agains RNG on group)

[balmy wolf]

Clockwork playing Reaper like Scout

[clever portal]

[balmy wolf]

TIME TO WATCH MY BOY COLLAPSE ON PLAYOFF

TIME TO WATCH MY BOY MANGACHU UNABLE TO CARRY SINCE HE CAN'T PLAY PHARAH

[clever portal]

I'm guessing Hollywood?

[wintry matrix]

sucks that it's LGE vs Faze, i wanted them both to succeed

[clever portal]

Maybe Numbani now

First 🐿 cucked, now one of those two

[supple nymph]

does kungarna have an org or $$$?

their wiki page doesnt say

[balmy wolf]

nope

no org, unsponsored

[supple nymph]

lol

[clever portal]

Hope these teams get picked up

[balmy wolf]

lol Torb/Orisa bait

[clever portal]

Maybe Fnatic should buy FNRGFE

[balmy wolf]

lol

[clever portal]

This comp

[balmy wolf]

Buds with the NA Blade

Renegades is running a counter dive comp

[wary falcon]

Did you heard about Lawbreakers?

[balmy wolf]

1-0

[clever portal]

@wary falcon what is it?

[wary falcon]

seems like Advanced Warfare with some Arena FPS stuff

sad thing that we won't have good cybersport scene in this games

ow, lb, quake

only paladins 💔

[balmy wolf]

all of these fucking NA ults

Bani's EMP is so bad

that whole sequence with EMP costed

[clever portal]

Lmao

Game probably going to tie

Depends how first push goes

@wary falcon sounds cool

Need more games like this

[balmy wolf]

https://puu.sh/wzZ4h/0b86be52e1.png

[clever portal]

How come they have two control

[balmy wolf]

always control last

since any other maps there's possiblity of draw

[supple nymph]

wonder if they are spreading the matches over more than 2 days

yesterday they tweet at the start or the finals?

[balmy wolf]

it was semis

iirc

[wintry matrix]

and we're approaching 20k, good numbers right?

[balmy wolf]

it can hit 30K+

also 2-0

@balmy wolf

LET'S GO LIQUID

👏 👏 👏

[wintry matrix]

inb4 reverse sweep

i kinda want just for the tragicomicity of it

[balmy wolf]

1-0

[wintry matrix]

wut, rng not running Pharah?

[balmy wolf]

yeah

[wintry matrix]

dat ult, wrong supp ults still triggers me, even if it's somewhat unfair to be

[balmy wolf]

and also, the website show the spoiler lol

[limber pine]

F N R G F E

[delicate laurel]

FNRGFE wins against Renegades

[clever portal]

[balmy wolf]

vs

EZ for the Corndog

also 2-0

the universe is realigned itself again

[thorn holly]

if faze win they will be in s1¿?

[balmy wolf]

yes they will

[thorn holly]

and the second one will be the winner between renegades agaisnt the loser of TL and Envision

renegades should win against Envision

[clever portal]

Harsh for LG evil

[balmy wolf]

I mean what did you expect?

their group was a sham

[clever portal]

I like the team

Likable players

[thorn holly]

can we confirm EG Buds, EG coolmatt69, etc¿?

[clever portal]

EG as in Evil Geniuses?

[thorn holly]

yes

[clever portal]

Would be surprising for EG to sign a team so soon

I want these guys to get signed though

They deserve it

[thorn holly]

i dont think them and 123 wont signed soon

[balmy wolf]

So can FaZe still qualify for S1?

[thorn holly]

yes

[wary falcon]

why EG are signing OW team

but ignoring CS:GO

[balmy wolf]

who would EG sign though

NA CSGO talents are jokes

[thorn holly]

CSGO is full of team right now

[balmy wolf]

and EG is committed to being an NA brand

[wary falcon]

they signed shitters in OW

[thorn holly]

teans*

[wary falcon]

so it's not a problem

[balmy wolf]

@wary falcon more like the team don't want to play with each other anymore

[limber pine]

^^^

[thorn holly]

they sucked so hard (only Kayun and Corey were fine in this team)

even Yikes were a better team to signed

[wary falcon]

STREAMS
No stream available

[balmy wolf]

they was decent

has a nice core that can be grow around

the problem is that they has a Mexican player

and he couldn't play in Contenders

hence why if you noticed they has Milo of all people ringing

[thorn holly]

yeah i know

[clever portal]

East Wind was good, just had obvious problem in coordination

[wary falcon]

why Liquid are still playing

[clever portal]

If they're seriously interested I would suggest buying an EU team

And moving them to NA

Probably 123, or Puppies

[thorn holly]

EG hadnt a team house

[balmy wolf]

@wary falcon 2CP

[wary falcon]

they need to finish game in 8 minutes

[balmy wolf]

@clever portal nah, EG wants an NA roster

[wary falcon]

is it a joke?

about NA roster?

[balmy wolf]

nope

[wary falcon]

https://images.discordapp.net/attachments/309288225581826048/331182670786723850/unknown.png

[thorn holly]

who the fck is that team ?

[wary falcon]

Dota 2 EG

[clever portal]

Probably Dota

[thorn holly]

lmao

[balmy wolf]

it is their DOTA2 team, and when I said "they wanted an NA roster" I mean their OW team

[wary falcon]

people talking about NA roster for EG

for a last 3 years

[balmy wolf]

so using their established DOTA2 team kind of meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

[clever portal]

If they want NA, FNRGFE/Arc 6 are an option

As are teams like Kungarna/Selfless

[thorn holly]

TL won

[wary falcon]

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeesssss

[balmy wolf]

LET'S GO LIQUID

[clever portal]

They're waiting till they're on stream to choke

[balmy wolf]

they qualified for S1 though

[wary falcon]

still don't have my winnings

[clever portal]

Yeah, doesn't matter too much now

[wary falcon]

OH GOD LET ME BET ON IMMORTALS

[thorn holly]

it would be nice that 2 teams without org get the final

[clever portal]

FaZe 3-0

LG Evil out

[dusty surge]

Are these still internet tournaments, or is this a lan?

[balmy wolf]

online

[clever portal]

S1 will have LAN playoffs

[dense ridge]

Does anyone know any good PS4 tournaments for Overwatch

[clever portal]

@dense ridge Overguard

[dense ridge]

When is it

[wary falcon]

PS4 tournaments
Overwatch

[balmy wolf]

EZ for liquid

[wary falcon]

we don't have second official stream for PC Contenders

[balmy wolf]

@balmy wolf https://www.over.gg/4676/contenders-na-season-zero-group-stage-wrap-up#6

[clever portal]

@dense ridge it constantly happens, it's a league. There's other ones, but not ones I can remember off the top of my head

Go make a post on r/owconsole

[balmy wolf]

KEK

[clever portal]

Or search there, they should know

[dense ridge]

Ok

[clever portal]

Is stream back up?

[balmy wolf]

Yes

[wary falcon]

fucking pinnacle

i still can't bet on IMT

i'm going to miss free $800

(hope IMT will lose)

[final river]

Are you in the states Jackie?

[clever portal]

I think AU

[final river]

Ah, hard to bet on esports here in California

[wary falcon]

actually i just missed IMT-Kungarna

Use VPN

[final river]

isn't it risky though?

[wary falcon]

It's risky, don't ever login without it

you will be banned permanently

[final river]

I don't have enough edge to make it worth while

if any at all lol

[clever portal]

Don't you need id?

[wary falcon]

minimal sum to play is around $10 or $15

i don't remember much to be honest

[clever portal]

In UK you need to enter driving license number

[wary falcon]

I'm from Russia and i use pinnacle

pinnacle didn't ask me to prove anything

so i'm fine

[wintry matrix]

agilities my boi

[wary falcon]

only my bank bans my credit cards

sometimes

[balmy wolf]

https://clips.twitch.tv/ConcernedDiligentLouseWow

[clever portal]

IMT looks really good

[balmy wolf]

🕯 🕯

[clever portal]

I think might just be holiday

Atleast, hopefully

[wary falcon]

So IMT will win 3-0?

[wintry matrix]

feelsbad

[balmy wolf]

At least jake still has the world cup lel

[wintry matrix]

i hope that means they'll return instead of being slang for disbanding

[balmy wolf]

lol sure

[wintry matrix]

i'd be so happy if Kungarna gets rolled

[wary falcon]

why?

[clever portal]

This looks like a stomp

[balmy wolf]

Their performance after the first few weeks of being picked up by Luminosity has been garbage or mediocre

[wary falcon]

So i still can bet on IMT

[clever portal]

LG is the new curse?

[wintry matrix]

i'd say more inconsisten than garbage, they had a few good moments

but yeah

[clever portal]

They've not improved fast enough

[wintry matrix]

i wonder what's the problem though, is it the meta?

[wary falcon]

inconsisten than garbage, they had a few good moments

if you are inconsistent enough you are garbage

just my few cents

[clever portal]

Look at teams like immortals/Kungarna, making massive strides

LG Evil quad tank team

[balmy wolf]

Thats just you being a fan

After their first few weeks they've never been the same

Its just like Hammers

a tank team thats trying to translate into dive

and can play it but not well

[wintry matrix]

i totally agree with you, just wouldn't use garbage

[clever portal]

Tbh not sure what's wrong with Hammers, they have very good dps players

No way they should only win one map

Hopefully their showing in the future is better

[balmy wolf]

Yeah I'm still wondering what happened

[clever portal]

Fischer really good genji

[balmy wolf]

Hammers need a coach ResidentSleeper

[wary falcon]

resident evil?

🤔

[balmy wolf]

Hammers do have a coach lol

I feel like their problem is Snizzle

as much as I love the guy

[supple nymph]

they might have a couch

[balmy wolf]

His 76 and D.Va are pretty meh

[wary falcon]

what is the next map?

[balmy wolf]

Blizz nerfing hog fucked him

[wary falcon]

hybrid?

[clever portal]

Escort

[rough night]

the hog changes were necessary though

[clever portal]

For who?

[supple nymph]

[rough night]

he could 1 shot most heroes...

[wary falcon]

pls

remove widow from the game

[supple nymph]

widow can one shot most heroes

[clever portal]

@rough night wrong channel

[wary falcon]

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[supple nymph]

doesnt mean delete her

[clever portal]

Hog has 4% pro pick rate

Lower than Mercy

[wintry matrix]

if the dmg nerf wasn't so huge it wouldn't be a problem

[wary falcon]

we need to balance game around bronze ranks

oh wait

blizzard doing it anyways

[final river]

Now when the enemy team picks hog I'm happy

[balmy wolf]

Snizzlenose probably needs to contact B1shop and ask on tips on how to play D.va

[final river]

I used to pick him a lot, can't now.

[rough night]

reaper is ruining atm

[clever portal]

You know what you should do if they have a hog? Pick the strongest character in the game, DVa

[wary falcon]

Hog was my hero to get fast GM

Killed for the bronzies

[balmy wolf]

tried to play counter dive against KR dive

[wary falcon]

after his nerf i forced to play as mercy main btw

on asian server

with ping over 400

[wintry matrix]

btw, is flame actually a good analyst or does he just says words?

[final river]

Flame said he's been offered coach position from multiple teams

[clever portal]

He's good when he concentrates and puts on a proper show

On his stream/voice he's very casual

[balmy wolf]

Flame's analyst has decayed over the months

[final river]

I think he said that before anyway

[clever portal]

I would say you're better off watching Bishop/LH coach

[balmy wolf]

especially when you look up to r/compow and see how KR analyst coach yeah

[wary falcon]

Route66

[balmy wolf]

the way Flame coach is kind of shallow especially compare to how in depth KR coaches does it

[clever portal]

He claims his content is 'for his sub'

Doesn't excuse the low quality though

[wintry matrix]

i remember watching his apex (s2 i think) vods, and he just narrated 90% the time

i'm only in his discord for when someone else appears in voice like Uber or noukky

[clever portal]

Yeah, he kind of just watches

His discord is really active though

[balmy wolf]

Well its a vod review

not a cast

lol

he just comments on things

He is a good analyst

[clever portal]

I think his work at MLG was good

Hoping he's on the table at world cup

But his vod reviews are worse than even say Taimou

[wintry matrix]

isn't a vod review analysis? like, he mostly just said things like "x threw, chips being a god" etc.

[clever portal]

Taimou does only do his own games though

So that helps

[balmy wolf]

doing their best NA OW impression

[wintry matrix]

env 1 x 0 RNG

that's great

[supple nymph]

.

[clever portal]

[supple nymph]

if na/eu ow esports is anything it's unpredictable and inconsistent

[balmy wolf]

TIME TO WATCH MY BOYS COLLAPSE ON PLAYOFF AGAIN

[supple nymph]

one day a team is top 3 next they are dumpstered

[wintry matrix]

but it's in different ways, EU inconsistency (generally) is at the top

NA is mostly a game of "which one will throw next?"

[clever portal]

EU only Misfits throws

[wintry matrix]

tho ofc both cases happen in these regions

[clever portal]

Tbh Kungarna just don't know what to do against Genji

But how many teams have a good genji in NA?

C9 and Rogue

And obviously immortals

Other teams can't beat Kungarna as easily

[balmy wolf]

tried to counter dive by is too smart for that

[clever portal]

NA ult

[wary falcon]

this visor

press Q to walk around

[wintry matrix]

[rough night]

Job Centre for Kungarna monday morning ......

[balmy wolf]

[wintry matrix]

well, c9 got the last laugh

[wary falcon]

2-0?

[supple nymph]

warm up the TwitLonger

[short vault]

so you're telling me C9 lost to this?

[rough night]

they did.... i sense match fixing...

[wary falcon]

no

it's C9 way to live

[short vault]

[balmy wolf]

Choke9

[wintry matrix]

i don't think there's even enough money in OW for match fixing

[wary falcon]

EternalEnvy spirit is strong in C9 OW

[wintry matrix]

although you could say that the semi-finals don't matter that much because they're all in s1 already

i honestly didn't expected to seem them so dominant

[solid spear]

Kungarna guaranteed to go through anyway though right?

[wintry matrix]

tho i guess Kungarna still hadn't played their game of "which NA team will throw now" yet

every semi team is on s1

[rough night]

that was just......barbarous

[wintry matrix]

alongside faze and the winner of RNG adn Envision

[clever portal]

@solid spear everyone in semis is through

1-1 RNG

[solid spear]

yeah thought so

RNG and who?

[wary falcon]

Liquid should steamroll FNRGFE

right?

[wintry matrix]

not really

[balmy wolf]

nah

[solid spear]

I dont think so

[balmy wolf]

vs will be fireworks

[clever portal]

[solid spear]

ah

[wintry matrix]

even ignoring Luiquid's choke history

FNRGFE is looking solid

[balmy wolf]

and i'm not even mad if lose. is showing their best oldman strength

[solid spear]

so one of Faze and LG Evil not gonna make it

[fickle basin]

@wary falcon who Knows. I thought the LGE would stomp Kungarna

[balmy wolf]

@solid spear already out

[wintry matrix]

i'd say odds are a bit in favor of Liquid, but should be a good match

[clever portal]

No way, Liquid is inconsisent, and at best plays at the level of their opponents

[solid spear]

oh Faze beat them Reign?

[balmy wolf]

yes 3-0

[solid spear]

[balmy wolf]

@clever portal where were you when take fucking Hulk in and has Fury/Shadder in NA?

before, I agree. After boot camp? No

FAZE IN
