i can't help but feel like those who complained about Roadhog's 1HK
is now in an ironic situation
its still 0-0 
damn you beat me to it
IMT paid them so that no one can see that they lost a map to CLG
now this map is more of how I was expecting the game to go
colors wrong agian lol
lol
wtf was that primal
wrong team name too
or rather ingame team name
CLG - Agilities 
CLG vs CLG
lol
welp
Hydration LUL
is the fact that IMT took a while to finish that stagger a bad sign?
how does this shit only have 3k viewers
six
lolz
what is this game lol
i think all is drunk
man, these support ults
agilites deffo drunk
agilities
yep
._.
welp, CLG 2-0
I wouldn't be proud of this win
if Immortals play like this
Rogue is just going to roll them
slow
wtf
@wintry matrix click on the link, mate
inb4 IMT flails and LGE steps up and actually makes ROgue sweat
oh, i thought it was the same
agilities made me drunk by proxy
same
lul
well, goldenboy is presenter
i guess if they would want jkap, would it be for casting/desk
@vestal mortar soe
YES!

I'll try get photos with as many peoples as I can
see, it's such an AMM already
remember when there's an OMM where there's no fuck up in production?
I certainly don't remember
prob OMM June 2017

that EMP was so bad
Immortals clearly know that the EMP was coming
and then Kariv just counter ult
wtf was Agilities doing
Chance is out of Immortals though
i forgot
actually no sign of slasher yet
THIS GAME
imt has brain damage
this is great
yeah, IMT is a fat smol spartan
What a carry
if you count the russian stream we have 5k
the best part about arc6 playing is the brief time that xqc can't type
why do they have a russian stream?
why do they have russian casting?
training, maybe it's a BEAT thing
π 
sorry if i missed it but whats happening with selfless ow now?
org got dumpstered
yeh i saw that
except dafran
it said in the statement they might be playing for different teams
Just a positive statement
Basically whole team free agents other than Sinatraa and dafran
rip carpe
na production
fix the sound...
LOL
Why did you cancel online tournaments BabyRage
because people miss shitty camerawork that's why
all those Contenders cameraworks threads made me so mad
finally an APEX tier camera work and they bitched inneccessitantly about it
not sure it was really on the level of apex
security camera mode and random switching 1 second before kills are confirmed
APEX was still confusing as fucks.
and honestly Contenders was a significant step up
one is an entertainment company vs an actual TV station
so there's some small rough edge but if you think about it Carbon's cameraworks was pretty APEX tier if you think about it
The esports scene is trash. A first person game is just never going to work
.-.
@mighty hornet CSGO
Don't even bother
i wonder how the LGE changes will do against stronger teams
BAIT
tho envi got a map
What LGE changes
@sturdy granite Csgo is different. It is more of an individual game. Everything happens at once in Overwatch. And it is a team game. Just doesn't go well together.
CSGO is an individual game
the bait is real
also @clever wagon Voll on Winston, Super on D.va
But it's still a first person shooter so you might want to improve your sentence making
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
I honestly wonder if Jeff has ever watched a pro game outside of the World cup
Well, they said the team do
Doesn't seem like they recognize the issues at the moment though, but they're developers with their workload cut out for them so what do I know
Voll/Super switch is interesting I guess....Train on proj over Jake too
With Jake's pool as deep as it is I guess you can makes swaps easily
Damn, Nice Defense
lol
i'm not there, but LGE seems to be with low spirits
like taimou's burnout
or rather, this is the impression i'm getting
How did McGravy not die there?
magic?
i mean more in general terms
tho ofc, that also is very demoralizing
i thought they would go straight into vacation from what Jake said in stream
these weeb casters smh
i wonder if LGL passed their curse onto LGE
Idk man, now that most of the weaker teams have dropped, it's getting hard to tell who's good, bad, or just inconsistent
LGE has been inconsistent since the tank meta ended
Now they're just dropping off the deep end
Which is a shame, because at one point, I think they could have continued to become as good as current IMT

Not watching, not watching BEAT
Team Chimera vs Faint Gaming
GL
3-0 in Hollywood with 3+ minute atm
BlessRNG
apparently DF is already nerfed
PTR out?
new patch as of
like an hour ago?
I saw somewhere Rocket Punch max range is down to 20 meters from 30
Is rocket punch the charge?
yes
EV's positioning has looked great this series
that NA barrage
anyone tell them the stream went down?

that's...an odd emoji
OMM was better than Contenders 
only Contenders can save us now
Resumes in 1 minute!
EnV are gonna get fuuucked
IMT please be gentle
InB4 Luminosity picks up LG Courage, which is just Selfless with a red Luminosity logo
isnt there a good possibility they will both get dropped?
It's a little sad to watch, once some of the weaker teams started dropping, its like the floor dropped, and teams further up that have been shaky lately are getting dropped faster and faster. Unfortnately, there is always going to be some who lose, and with everything going on lately, teams are dropping faster than ever before.
Hopefully, OWL is a seperate entity entirely, and dropped players will feed teams created for the league, in addition to some teams changing into OWL teams.
Streams down again, hope is lost
Remember when OMM was a superior production to OW Contenders? 
So dont know how much talent will be on the outside looking in
it's sad, but they haven't been performing greatly, so it's somewhat predictable
i feel like it's only truly depressing in cases like cyclones and runaway
@balmy wolf How'd your match go?
but also they stayed a long time without sponsors
Welp, at least Metroid Fusion is being speedran, so I got something to watch
lolz
legit one of my fav games though, so I'm not even mad
TwitLonger Official Sponsor of Overwatch Contenders
lul
https://www.twitch.tv/softlocke my team in the final now
both playing dive
someone should tell them it's just their perception that they have to do that
lolz

then when they lose that's also perception π
how can someone see that every pro match on the planet is running the same comps and think that nothing is wrong?
the answer: they don't
the meta is loot boxes
R.I.P. my EV dreamsπ’
btw, they're changing production for the rest of the tourney
thank J3SUS
KARIV
JARU
as in someone else hosting the stream, i don't think they meant anything fancy
how have NA teams beeing doing at apex lately?
rogue got eliminated from groups cause they had to face the best teams
envyus got to semi finals but got rekt
who'd envy lose to
Selfless csgo disbanded
Stomp
AF Blue and Kongdoo Panthera rekt nV
meanwhile
won Takeover 2 and only lost to the 2 finalists
and 
but
>
for whatever reason
NV throwing last game 
Taimou needs to take a shit 
It'll be interesting to see which team is better now
depends
with EFFECT was able to pull wool over people's eyes
by beating luminary oppositions such as RGW, a depleted Meta Athena, X6 and BK Stars
EFFECT is basically just a better Talespin
same hero pool as well
Can effect pharah 
probably not
meanwhile
beat
,
, ex NIP, Cyclowns enrouted to their first place finish in Takeover 2
so in term of strength of schedule
>
atm
no one knows
rumours that they are disbanding or something
π’
due to some discord chat with surefour that got leaked on thighmou's stream
Kaiser 
He's relatively popular over here and also a very good reinhardt, so normally I'd say that he'd find a team fast, but it's currently dive and his monkey is 
:(
nice deletation π
"Perception of balance is stronger than balance itself" Surely there's something to talk about when literally no region in the pro scene utilize anything other than dive though....?
if that's even a word
"Deletion"
π
lul
there good for giggles once in a while
I love #esports-discussion C:
nah nerf them both and buff mercy
wait no pls
I bet there's some closet mercy mains here 
Ive got nothing against Mercy mains 
neither do i, but it's fun to joke around about
so did anyone post the thread about Zonda's POV on OW now?
"He says that FW were scrimming the "top 4" of Korea towards the end of the season due to a lack of scrimming partners on both sides.
-Apparently FW got absolutely destroyed by AF Blue in scrims. Zonda described their coordination and set piece plays as perfect. He believes Donghyun is the unsung star of the team.
-Claims FW took a few maps off Envy, but Envy consistently beat them. He states that he himself went try hard in practice and regretted not taking the Envy games as an opportunity to learn. He primarily played Soldier 76. He believes Envy were a better team overall and had superior teamwork and coordination. (This will be super interesting for the World Cup as it confirms that KyKy will have first hand knowledge on how Flash Wolves play)."
was OPC that one sided he felt bored by the end?
yeah
Does Blank have a coach?
they are channel the spirit of the NA scene if they don't have a coach
or "friend with advice"
kyky gonna try to avoid the Flash Wolves total stomp
I mean if Flash Wolves is consistently scrimming KR teams though
it is a total possibility 
well
half of the team flunked out of Contenders
so you know
FW can beat USA
Having talent mean nothing if they have no synergy
Or dont practise
they can its possible
I mean the DPS pair of team USA is LAN-untested
and also their team has been on a downturn
They played USA vs Canada LAN 
i wouldn't discount USA so soon
I'm not getting my hopes up
i could be wrong, but maybe he build the team with an idea in mind, that's why maybe some "Unpopular" picks
They will NA it
or maybe it was just ego and friend based, the hell i know
but i have hope it'll be a decent showing
oh definitely
Rawkus and Fctfiction tank pair is kind of iffy as well
but then Team Liquid tank line probably has better things to do than trying to play WC
dat 1 million Quake prize pot 
the DPS are untested at LAN
Sinatraa/JAKE never played at a LAN before
which to me is a huge redflag
Are USA Shanghai?
USA is USA, mate
oh yeah, i forgot people could just refuse playing in the WC too
Imo, Poland and Sydney are 
every qualifiers are interesting
except for Shanghai
because the mere presence of Rogue
the race to 2nd spot is infinitely more interesting
since it is a race between Romania, Thailand, Hongkong, Denmark and Norway
don't think China will be very good

sock 9
when WC starts?
next weekend
14th
China vs Romania, Hong Kong vs Norway, France vs. Argentina, Denmark vs. Thailand 14th 
do we got the time it starts?
you don't have to go to work early if you don't have job

Plan was to take next week off, but i offered to come in anyways to help finishing a project, bad planning 
by alicus
π
78% upvote, its true
yeah, I have no idea why I engaged in that argument
lol
waste of time
the guy is fucking retarded
lmao
this reminded me of a time where someone told me in the OW that Alicus is a shit manager
6 months later and LK is pretty fucking memetic
Is he good manager?
judging by
everythign he has done
in such a short amount of time
the guy
seems fucking amazing
what has he done?
Build all of LK
i don't know much except Rogue and LK
Bought Claris and Munchkin away from LH
mostly how much he achieved for LK in such a short amount of time
also, he's the guy
behind old misfits
I mean whether or not you agree with him cant really take away from what hes done
Made top tier EU team
LK is still largely unproven
and despite finishing top 4 in Contenders
they sometimes showed that the KR imports actually didn't matter that much
Still doesn't mean that it's not an achievement
He completely built the team himself
online wise yes, but as far as tier goes LK is still unproven
if they make it to the LAN final then sure
now though, they are in the same tier as LG Evil and the likes
top tier EU team
Actually you can stick together 2 russians, 3 swedes and 1 german
to become top tier eu team
Its an achievement nonetheless
People are only going to acknowledge it if they agree though
If they dont agree with it then its lol doesnt matter Alicus is dumb if they do it's lol based Alicus youre circlejerking 
Subs been trash for months
i'll agree with him when the best counter to dive is not dive
then i'll say the game is in a good state
but no doubt he is a voice that has a huge say in if the game is in a good state or not
and from what i've seen from him before, he's not afraid to voice something if it needs to be voiced
Game needs stability and some league level play
For example like OPC
But in NA/EU
And KR
I found it infinitely amusing that people pined for the day of OMM, and not forgotting how horrible it usually is in term of cameraworks and production
meanwhile the BEATS invitational just bring people to the reality again
after shitting on Carbon Entertainment's absolutely top tier production
and @clever portal next month we will have our shit
Thing is not even all top tier pros/coaches agree on whether or not the game is in a good state people are just gonna latch onto people they personally agree with...if you like the game rn its easy to be oh Alicus/Tviq said so youre all retards and the other way around too you can be all Zonda or whatever said this it has to be true and use that
its all confirmation bias
pretty much, like i thinks jeffs thoughts are correct, just the execution that is wrong, winston was already getting a lot of play prior to his sensible buffs, without those buffs we might not be in the situation we are now
meta just felt so good back in apex s2
beyblade?
I mean like I personally disagree with a lot of what Jeff was saying but I think he was even saying not everyone at Blizz is agreement with everything, clearly the same can be said for pros and coaches too its not that black and white which is fine
so after nanoboost nerf?
but everyone just resorts to oh youre circlejerking oh your dumb oh youre bronze if someone disagrees with them
yeah, when dive was a thing but optimal
but often executed with zarya rather then D.va
i hope OW will have meta based on heroes like mccree

NAVI LUL

be as good as c9

so be good only when summer?
they qualified for major, and now in final in ESL Cologne
so yeah, pretty good summer for them so far
@balmy wolf they just lost 60k viewers 
sad thing that c9 only good when it's summer
@supple nymph it can reach 300K next match. SK vs Faze is another hotly anticipated match
when summer ends they turn into tier-3 shit with best B duo (nothing+shroud)
name me more iconic duo than nothing and shroud on B cache
I mean there's also VP and their online ineptude
name me a more iconic duo than VP and being in a slump everywhere but majors
they are in slump on majors too
they are just bad nowadays
pasha said they will change players after Krakow major
FINED AND BANNED
btw, do we have info about the number of the matches and how long will Contenders s1 and OWL last?
stop playing fucking PubG then. Playing PubG before Starladder is just embarrassing
@wintry matrix Contenders S1 will be 6 weeks
OWL? No clue
i asked this in mind of what alicus said about there being few matches, so teams are less prone to experimenting
Yes, Contenders S1 going to be good
All the NA fans have hope
just imagine in a few months OW will be like this
they will have figured out dozens of counters to dive
So did Slasher ever show up
nop
I saw a game and he wasn't there
the matches didn't even start and the stream already is down

Sopti posted already?
Damn
Gamsu was called the best rein in KR by many pros
His team never made it far so Reins like Janus and Kaiser were more well known
the post no, he just said here that gamsu was leaving
Twilight was a decent sombra player
Conbox was one of the first teams to run Sombra a lot
The complexity of KR
His Ana play was okay
Zenyatta not so much
last time fnrgfe played arc6 they won 4:0 but when they were yikes! they lost 1:3 
if they were Yoinks would be 4-0 for them
what the hell was that blade from Danteh
LIVE: Rogue, Tempo Storm, Arc6OW and FNRGFE - OW BEAT Invitational S2 w/ @hexagrams @TempoZP
Arc6 getting the corndog again
2.5k
why?
Because of the amount of rezzes
WIDOW ALERT
Buds 
b2b koth?
but i think they can choose wherever mode they want?
loser pick
so yes
but like I said
"we just lost on a KOTH. Let's play on another KOTH"
that's the only explanation I know
aren't they better on KOTh anyway?
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
not against 
BTW THERE'S STILL WIDOW
their dominance on KOTH is based around Pharmercy
but they are even more one note than NIP at their height
so you know
maybe they banked on winning the other two maps with pharah
Phew
S E L L O U T
tf2 hahahaha
Heh
tho FNRGFE always lose the point at 99
but why would you dump yourself down from ex Fnatic to a team that flunked out of Contenders?
T R I C K L E
i'd assume he didn't have any better offers at the moment
they seems to have some trouble trying to retain their ult to finish a map
insistence on going toe vs toe with Pharmercy against
also doesn't help
just play Tracer/Soldier
LOL
that's why they choose ilios
c9
No practice on the meta, no warmup scrims, no problem. Nothing to lose boys, were about to go live at https://t.co/3fViDBCGll gl to all <3
wat
reaper working radicilously well
xQc is an odd duck
more reaper 
Reaper is ridiculously tanky
inb4 FNRGFE are intentionally throwing so they don't have to play rogue
Oh snap

60 rounds π΄
SK vs C9 final though
can C9 pull their heroic from ESL Pro League final of last year?
Is this more csgo talk?
Arc6 will take the baguette first
π₯
lmao
seems like it
shaking my leg
Heh
yee
At least they wont just Pharmercy their way out of trouble it seems
π₯ 
Nice price
baguette bois time
loaf and total humanization
i dont think i've seen rogue since apex now
oh right that was after
I haven't watched any rogue games since APEX
would be nice if they got some alterantive strats now
Running non dive 
i can only dream π¦
Can't wait to see my boy xQc get bummed by some frenchies 
oh hey rogue doing orisa that's diff.. ohh nevermind.

2 2 2 better than their triple dps?
their tripple dps stopped working around the start of apex, counters were found
lmao loody
the counter was just run a bunch of tanks last point that just never die wasnt it
LH countered it with tripple support actually
I DONT UNDERSTAND
My god soon used bomb and got it back in one fight
welp, it was fun while it lasted
i think rogue stopped playing with the eyes closed
i even put Initial D music to see if Tempo wins one map at least
lol appropiate
dreamkazper damn
Oh shit, rogue aren't rolling tempo?
not at all
BETTER GET UNDER A ROOF
rogue tried to play with them at the start with an alternative comp though
so props for that
I stopped watching esport like a couple of months ago, when rogue were rolling everyone in na
Rip rogue
DASDSADSDSA
THEIR ACTUALLY TAKING A MAP
WAT
WUUUUUUUUUUUT

NOW I'M HYPE AS SHIT
Lets fucking go
warming upp

i dont expect anything but 3-1 for rogue still
we are ven in 8k now
inb4 3-1
but still taking a map from rogue is big
Theres no nrg ? π€¦
the stream should be titled "ROGUE LOST ONE MAP" just for viewers storming in

NRG are rebuilding again
No idea, they only have 3 signed players right now
who is on the team besides harb and idd again
Whos the main tank
Numlocked
I heard they are trying some KR people
Mino or whatevee his name
wouldent be suprised if they go for Sinatraa
No idea of any names
sinatra would be good
Sinatraa is the least wanted in nrg
would replace snow that is on trail for them now but
Both iddqd and harb can tracer
harbs tracer is useless
What happened?
ppl were freaking out a few minutes ago.
TwoEasy has pressured Unkoee/Winz a lot
TwoEasy was the problem amirite 
naw rogue just ended up in a bad group again 
LOL
lmao
Wtf
naw arhan just lays down and dies
probably
What comp are rogue running?
time 2 throw
they are just trying to be more flexiable

well they got two back 
not agreeing or disagreeing, but that's what they mean when they say rogue is inflexible, as in not being good on other comps
nico blade = zero kills
AKM!
LOL
c9
C9999
welp, it was fun while it lasted
Picking 2cp against Rogue π© π
MCCREE ALERT
Unkoee on Sombra
rogue is just burning them alive now
well yeah its 2cp
MEAT GRINDER
THEY USED 6 ULTS AND DIDNT GET A TICK
2CP is balanced - Jeph
J3SUS CHRIST ROGUE
well gg.
Our Quick Play stats show 2 cp is fine - Jeph

Nico Puttin in work
@balmy wolf 
i like the amount of mccree that have appeared in recent dive comps
MCCREE 
π― Waffletastic π―
just gotta see if Silk actually stays
does Arc6 have another new logo?
maybe
"Rogue will 4-0 IMT" LUL
rogue paid to throw

I tune in
2-0
LOOL
Rogue probably needs a coach
or shake up the rust really badly
of course they has reverse sweeped people before
so never counts them out
is rusty and also trying out new shits
AKM on D.va for example
and this Pharmercy stuff
is it still the "akm phara throw" meme?
maybe?
holy shit
reminder that they took 2 months off of TakeTV win
hold your horses from the
is shit now
i just wanna see them lose
they probably will
tho only AKM dva was new, phamercy they ran before in AMM
was it?, my memory is fishy
yes it was
personally Rogue needs to shake their rust off. They has time to enjoy their 25K
so losing some 6K online tournament isn't going to take away their place in tier
i dunno about that mentality, i know it's a small tourney, but still
man, these arc6 ults
I tune in and Rogue down 2-0 
Arc6 won OMM May and then flunked out of Contenders
like, which matters more? Small time online tournament or potential to actually get a LAN?
online wins are fine to determine strength of a scene at some point in time
but it is volatile for the most part
they should have just done 16 teams
im not saying it's super important, but to me still a lost is a lost
i'm not saying rogue is suddenly trash either
let me phrase it better, i just don't like the mentality of going into tourney thinking it doesn't matter so we won't play our best
or something along these lines
not saying i know if they have that mentality or not
it is only my opinion that it is fine if they lose in here
idk about what the Frenchies are thinking in LV
oh, i just want them to lose for the memes and trash-talk
that, and i don't like them
they still won more LANs than anyone else
so you know, they probably won't lose any sleeps
considering that winz tweet about nv i don't think he considers proportionality in these matters
got like 7K for reaching the top 4 of APEX
meanwhile
scored 25K winning TakeOver 2
so who ended up worst?
i mean, in terms of money i don't think both of these amounts matters that much
DAmn, that barrage tho
i thought tournament prize money didnt really matter
another perspective
has to beat
Cyclown, NIP on their road to Takeover 2 1st place
meanwhile
fought
RGW
and BK Stars
and even then
only finished fourth
not to take demerit from rogue, but Cyclowns was getting poached, c9 is still pretty iconsistent, and NIP in this meta turned to RIP
i don't think these situations are very comparable (also because takeover was only eu)
i think the comparable situation was apex where both got rekt by KDP
of course, the meme and the counter trash talk will flow regardless



reverse sweeping 



boot camping in KR?
