gusty notch
#

do those korean teams not compare to the eu ones

#

plus c9

balmy wolf
#

and even as inconsistent as Cloud9 was they also has a good showing vs Movistar Rider, eUnited, and Hammers, even when on about 10 cans of Redbulls

#

all i'm really saying is yeah, Rogue might lost this tournament. And the meme with the trash talks will flow. But in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter that much.

wintry matrix
#

agreed

balmy wolf
#

that DM from Nico

Reverse sweep

Damn, didn't expect such a fun match from these two

Challenging Rogue on Kings Row

Rogue has too many Europeans reeee

balmy wolf
#

@sturdy granite how badly was Arc6 doing that they got full hold in Rogue's worst map?

final river
#

lol "mercy main" gets deleted in twitch chat

sturdy granite
#

Rogue's done messing around

solid spear
#

Annihilated

sturdy granite
#

@balmy wolf I thought Rogue played a pretty mean Dive on KR. I thought most of their map losses on KR was against Selfless.

balmy wolf
#

King's Row and Ilios has historically been Rogue's worst map

final river
#

King's Rogue

#

if arc6 wins, what twitters can i expect?

balmy wolf

couldn't even contest the point lolz

they surely had enough time to contest

that EMP was shite

#

@wintry matrix thoughts?

gusty notch
#

they coulda won that

#

made such strange mistakes

clever portal
#

Biggest problem with tier 2 teams

#

Can't deal with pressure

#

Basically a choke

balmy wolf
#

Rogue historically has performed immensely well under pressure

#

going up against EnVyUs in Atlantic Showdown for example

#

or 4-1 LunaticHai after lose to them twice in playoff and group stage

#

they reverse swept Selfless the first time they faced too

wintry matrix
#

thoughts on what?

#

i checked out

clever portal
#

Yeah, they have the mentality

#

Nice try by Arc6

balmy wolf
#

@wintry matrix Arc6 got reverse swept

clever portal
#

Good to see some other teams bringing the game close like selfless

balmy wolf
#

@clever portal inb4 xQC complains about too much French though

wintry matrix
#

not surprising, i did not watch much, but i saw some really bad ult usage from them

Movistar is playing a local spanish team in 6 hours if anyone is interested

supple nymph
#

for charity?

wintry matrix
#

no, is a spanish tourney

limber pine
#

I don't know if these "recall into other maps" bugs are sad or hilarious

wintry matrix
#

just to show how hard and awful programming must be

supple nymph
#

according to the stats players in Quick Play don't preceive themselves recalling into other maps; it's just something we see in pro

balmy wolf
#

that Miso ult

#

lolz

solid spear
#

what the hell is this game

limber pine
#

So something wrong with the tournament build?

wintry matrix
#

there's no tournament build

balmy wolf
#

this is online

#

Arc6 just got 3-0'd on Lijiang via CLG

#

wut

limber pine
#

so comp, not pro?

solid spear
#

hmm wachu mean?

supple nymph
#

IMT > CLG = ROGUE > ARC6 > FNRGFE > EV > LG EVIL = TEMPO

wintry matrix
#

aren't CLG and arc6 pretty much the same

#

actually, clg may be better

#

but somehow arc6 manages to accomplish more

balmy wolf
#

NA scene in a nutshell

#

everyone is inconsistent

#

except for nV and rogue

solid spear
#

Toy sighting ๐Ÿ‘€

#

but yeah theyre all just inconsistent as hell

#

even IMT looked a bit shaky yesterday and thats like the best team in NA outside the two in Apex

balmy wolf
#

people who were like "the gap between the kings and NA scene as a whole has closed"

#

and i was like "dude"

wintry matrix
#

i expected IMT to look more dominating after their contenders performance

balmy wolf
#

mind you I said Agilities played drunk yesterday and a few people disagreed with me

#

so rose tinted glasses are everywhere

solid spear
#

well tbf the gap could be closing

wintry matrix
#

i woudn't be surprised if it was shit internet

solid spear
#

but like theyre so inconsistent

wintry matrix
#

there was one moment where agilities died to a dva bomb where i could see he thought he was safe

solid spear
#

IMT does look like they could be on that level though

balmy wolf
#

@wintry matrix Immortals is playing from their team house in LA. That's about as good internet as you can get

#

15 ping to Blizz server

wintry matrix
#

aren't NA internet providers kinda shit?

balmy wolf
#

not in CA

#

i'm in TX and my ping is like 60

#

and then I heard people complain about having 80 ping

solid spear
#

I mean it depends

#

Im east coast and get 40

balmy wolf
#

There's a reason everyone and their moms based their teamhouse in CA

solid spear
#

well 40-50

balmy wolf
#

their internet are pretty great

wintry matrix
#

well, considering the others didn't seem to be that weird, i guess it was drunkness

#

but i do wish to see at least IMT overcome the na curse, they do are the most promising at the moment

balmy wolf
#

only after some KR blood injection HYPERLUL

#

but the success of Mighty AOD's players after their team disbanded is kind of interesting

#

because it gives a new perspective on their performance in APEX S3

wintry matrix
#

oh shit more reaper

balmy wolf
#

Reaper is really good for third point

crisp lynx
#

reaper meta coming?

wintry matrix
#

and yeah, i remember someone said that there's lot of crazy players scattered around KR small teams

solid spear
#

Reaper is pretty good in those like last point attack situations

#

more brawly

wintry matrix
#

but i don't remember seeing him even in those situations before

#

i mean, as much as we saw him today

solid spear
#

well with the buffs I mean hes runnable

#

you already see him on like

#

Anubis B attack

#

still niche though

balmy wolf
#

he is really tanky

#

which is surprising

wintry matrix
#

also, hows silkthread in clg doing so far? i can't tell

balmy wolf
#

a bit iffy

#

CLG got full hold

solid spear
#

ye

#

was kinda rough

wintry matrix
#

this is already filling my needs for takeover 3

supple nymph
#

Rogue ๐Ÿ”ซ Immortals

solid spear
#

I dont think theyre far apart

#

Fates monkey is top tier....and they can run Genji with D.Va while Rogue has to throw AKM on it to do that

#

Kariv isnt Unkoe but hes damn good

wintry matrix
#

in paper IMT is stacked af

#

the only problem is their NA curse

balmy wolf
#

AKM's Soldier got so much value that putting him in D.va alone is a risky proposition

#

unless he can play it like Coolmatt

#

but then there's no blade because then NicoGDH has to do it

solid spear
#

yeah I agree I feel like him on D.Va is a waste

#

but the only other option is triple dps if you want Genji

balmy wolf
#

honestly they needs to change their style to be less aggressive and more cerebral. And their current set up is perfect for that.

#

76/Tracer/D.va

#

bait people into diving on top of them

#

and then just maul them because you got one of the world's backline with AKM and Unkoee

#

their style has always been aggressive but right now if they can adjustedt their style to be slower I think it would do wonder for them

solid spear
#

double hitscan D.Va is probably something they should just run more as opposed to putting AKM on D.Va

#

IMT just has better flexibility in this meta

#

and everyone can play their best heros

#

I think itll be fun when they play

wintry matrix
#

i hope so too

#

zp and hex losing it gives me life

balmy wolf
#

well

#

i'm slowly losing my mind watching this match too

solid spear
#

Sombra is balanced

balmy wolf
#

CLG PICKED THIS MAP

#

AND THEY ARE GETTING DICKED ON BY SOMBRA

#

So just looking at scorelines now

#

Is this May Melee Yikes?

#

not really

solid spear
#

yeah theyve looked eh at timees

#

and Rogue really smacked them after they got the 2-0 lead

wintry matrix
#

every single team in this tourney looked eh

#

even rogue

solid spear
#

fair enough

#

losing maps to Tempo and Arc6

balmy wolf
#

you know what this EMP and Jeff bullshit reminding me of? Starcraft 2 esport downfall

#

Starcraft 2 used to had a strat involving creeps

#

or something, can't remember the exact details

#

but Blizz refused to nerf it because in ladder play they claimed that its only win rate is 50%

#

and it was one of the nail in the coffin that was Starcraft 2 esport

solid spear
#

I mean

#

I think itll get nerfed eventually

#

it charges waaay too fast

#

even if they give Sombra a little something in return idc but emp shouldnt be up every 10 seconds

balmy wolf
#

the condundrum with Sombra is that if you take that away from her, she is straight back to the trashcan

wintry matrix
#

it's only truly broken on 2cp right?

solid spear
#

eh really anywhere with important packs

wintry matrix
#

i wouldn't say that, her kit's pretty good

balmy wolf
#

Sombra is underutilize in most maps, but overutilize in 2CP

#

the only teams that used her outside of 2CP are KRs

#

and they usually does it to disable D.va

solid spear
#

yeah thats why I said if they give her a lil something in return idk what itd be fine

#

I mean even if its just a 15% nerf it needs something

#

its ridiculously easy to have it back to back fights

wintry matrix
#

i dunno, buffing dmg would be kinda against her kit

#

and her cooldowns are kinda short already

#

i'd say after this meta, i'd wish to see more teams experimenting with her outside of her comfort zone, i really believe in her potential

balmy wolf
#

her hacks are underutilize as a disabling tool

#

KR teams disable D.va using it before blowing up the tank line

#

meanwhile in theory you can use it to disable a support to prevent a support ult

#

etc etc etc

#

the potential is there but why do it when you can have an ult up every fucking team fight and then use it to win?

wintry matrix
#

also she can shutdown almost every dps

balmy wolf
#

Her hack has the same pick potential as a Roadhog hook

#

Hack a support, dive on him/her, rinse and repeat

solid spear
#

Well theyre very different

#

But hook had more counterplay than emp but ones an ult so...

balmy wolf
#

i mean her hack

#

not her ult

#

that's different

solid spear
#

eh hack itself is fine tbh

#

you can actually stop it

balmy wolf
#

I never said it was not fine. I was only pointing out that people has been underused it

solid spear
#

oh alright

#

my b

wintry matrix
#

i still find weird how little she was/is used outside of 2cp

solid spear
#

idk doesnt seem too weird

#

the packs there are very high value

#

and not as much so on most other maps

wintry matrix
#

i was thinking about how she can make half of the cast useless

balmy wolf
#

She would only be used on first point

#

And if she doesnt build an EMP in that time, she's useless

#

The best map outside of 2cp is probably R66

solid spear
#

yeah 66 shes good

#

gets occasional Hollywood play but thats not quite as good imo

balmy wolf
#

definitely not

#

she can hack the earls mega for her team and then the cave mega for herself

solid spear
#

theres ok packs in streets I guess but thats mostly for her to farm off of herself the megas at least

balmy wolf
#

If you lose 1st with sombra you should switch

#

unless you have or are close to emp

solid spear
#

you should probably

#

Im just saying Ive seen teams a couple times

#

play it in streets

#

its not that good

balmy wolf
#

Yeah its just best to switch

#

Unless you have like

#

75-80+

solid spear
#

Hollywood is also very open

#

so hard to get that dream EMP anyway

wintry matrix
#

is hacking heroes considered that useless?

solid spear
#

the hero just doesnt do enough outside of emp do warrant using over Zen or whatever youre swapping to play her

#

on the maps shes played the value of emp literally every fight is so high that you run it anyway

balmy wolf
#

I feel like IMT has a pretty good chance to beat Rogue

#

Just going off map scores alone

#

I barely watched

solid spear
#

Idk it should be good

#

some weird AKM D.Va stuff

clever wagon
#

So Timo is going on a break until 18th?

gusty notch
#

Yeah

clever wagon
#

Well, best of luck to him

thats not even that long actually

"good stuff a break is good"

I'm honestly having a bit of a trouble understanding this sentence

a comma, probably?

you expect too much smh

I don't even mean anything bad

solid spear
#

I know lol

clever wagon
#

Such a thing is possible?

wintry matrix
#

i can see him doing that just out of spite

red anvil
#

should be plenty of weaker korean teams that have interest in the west

#

they might be actually able to beat something o3o

wintry matrix
#

i'd understand if it was over NA teams, but there's some awesome EU talent unsigned

#

i'd be sad if they choose koreans over them

#

i really doubt they wouldn't put EU cities

#

maybe for the first season of OWL

#

but after?i really doubt

faint peak

enyone wanna play that like bronze

clever wagon
#

inb4 massive Korean rosters buyout for OWL and non-Korea regions get "invaded" anyway

#

NRG thenkeng

Is there any Korean willing to put up with a house full of ants

#

Ant stream now bois

#

And other ant shenanigans

red anvil

Seoul is as close to western as you can get it

clever wagon

But we're talking NRG here

red anvil

Dw they'll probably bribe a victory here and there eventully

Really? That ant problem looks like they actually need to burn the house down and then rebuild

red anvil

NRG NK would be good team

It doesn't matter what roster you have

#

Get a 6 man and go bootcamp in KR

clever wagon
#

How many teams outside of APEX have bootcamped in KR again

#

LK, eU and IMT?

#

Though Reunited was in APEX S1

red anvil
#

tad bit weird that NRG goes fro another solider mccree main though

clever wagon
#

They have some secret plan

clever portal
#

Their plan is not a secret

red anvil
#

bribe themself to victory?

clever portal
#

It's literally outpay other teams

clever wagon
#

Like Miro who sees it in a long term that Reinhardt would have a hard time coming back into the meta regardless of any balancing because of map design

#

๐Ÿค”

clever portal
#

Other teams don't have 20 million

clever wagon
#

Other teams aren't backed by a real sports org yet, at most officially unannounced, if any

clever portal
#

Miro was right

#

Even if Rein comes back it will be on maps like Kings Row

#

Unless they give him a leap

red anvil
#

rein can now jump like winston, true leap

clever wagon
#

inb4 Rein gets Doomfist uppercut mobility

He's on vacation in KR right now

#

When did IMT bootcamp in KR?

#

The old roster was still around iirc

#

@clever portal

AF red QuaterMain changed id, maybe he was released.

GC Busan is a supported by local government.

balmy wolf

Pinball have 14k because GDQ just ended, they probably raided pinballjoe, big sponsor of the event

@crisp lynx any rumors from KR recently?

Oh look, SK in finals

How weird NicoSmug

crisp lynx
#

i love these two emote. It's made so well.

#

@balmy wolf Nothing interesting.

#

hmm

#

because Apex is not finished yet and the World Cup qualifier is soon., everything looks like to be stopped.

#

recently, famous amateur vansquad is almost certain to be a script user. There is many evidence discovered that he lied.

#

and BK alarm and bunny trolling to LH fans as a matter of their transfers.

#

Because of team performance, Mano severely argue with fans in his stream.

#

These are normal controversy in korea like xqc&dafran in NA.

quasi python
crisp lynx
#
  • common witch hunt to leetaejun, agape. because fans are so boring, they need victim.
toxic yacht
#

vansquad is a cheater?

#

feelsbad

crisp lynx
#

yes, almost. many believe it now.

#

Blizzard recently updated the anti-cheat system with screen capture.

#

He does not play games now and refuses to answer like explanation of his lies, and goes out of private chat room. He's playing PUBG now.

#

He said he is 32 years old, used A700 mouse and $3? cheap mouse pad. all turned out to be a lie by online tracking.

wary falcon
#

you can easily bypass their new anticheat

#

it's not a problem

crisp lynx
#

sure. There are scripts already bypassing this in kr.

balmy wolf
#

@crisp lynx so what's his equipment then?

crisp lynx
#

he said his dpi. But this dpi was impossible with his mouse

toxic yacht
#

LOL

crisp lynx
#

we don't know. and he is 22 years old.

toxic yacht
#

lmao

#

this just keeps getting better

quasi python
#

whos cheating??

crisp lynx
#

Those who bought the same script already reproduce his strange skipping also.

#

In the past, his fans insisted that skip was due to using a cheap mouse pad. nobody believes it now.

balmy wolf
#

his strange flick, you mean?

crisp lynx
#

yes. sry for poor english

#

we called it mouse skipping

forest raven

Cmon man

Don't link that

@forest raven a simple google will show it nonetheless

That is not the point

Please refrain from posting links to sites that allow people to actively break Blizzard ToS

toxic yacht
#

wot is that avatar lmao

crisp lynx
#

haha, i don't know details about scripts. but as i heard, it's personally customized $500+ script. I hear it's made on-demand.

#

But nobody knows the truth.

balmy wolf
#

@toxic yacht Darkest Dungeon I think

toxic yacht
#

ah

#

thank

balmy wolf
#

why would he has a strange flick with a cheap mousepad anyway?

#

๐Ÿค”

crisp lynx
#

That is an unnecessary characteristic of his script engine.

#

So former LH leetaejun is witchhunted because he first introduced vansquad in his streaming.

balmy wolf
#

lolz

#

that guy can never get a break

crisp lynx
#

jeff said symmetra is op.

balmy wolf
#

he actually used KR as why OTPs should be tolerate

#

@crisp lynx how's KR's attitude toward one trick ponies?

crisp lynx
#

even otps, If he is as good as effect, we'll admit it.

#

effect was rank 1st, even when the tracer was out of the meta.

#

sure, there are some well-known Simmetra and Torb otp above GM, but there are many people who think they are trolls like Na.

balmy wolf
#

KR would just rage as hard as NA players when they got a OTP in their team, wouldnt they?

crisp lynx
#

yes. people are same in every region. some of them are reporting it a troll as just a pick.

Yeah I like that one too it's cute

waxen rampart
#

Whats the best team rn?

red anvil
#

nrg always

solid spear
#

Imo its KDP but like until we get more international LANs with neutral playing fields it's always gonna be hard to say

toxic yacht
#

literally no one knows

#

we just play safe and say KDP

#

or LH

solid spear
#

Yeah

#

But we dont know for sure

#

Apex favors Korean teams

toxic yacht
#

I'd really love to see how a korean team would fare in a western style tournament

#

genuinly curious

#

apex finals are gonna decide who I'm gonna be calling the best team in OW

#

and even then I won't even be sure, lul

solid spear
#

Yeah I think its just smarter/safer to compare teams within regions atm

toxic yacht
#

if we're going by regions, either KDP or LH in Korea, Rogue in NA (although we haven't seen how effect nV would perform + they were throwing yesterday) and eUnited for EU

#

kinda funny, eU the best EU team

#

hehe

solid spear
#

eU defintely the best EU team Na is weirder imo

toxic yacht
#

I legit cannot predict anything in NA anymore

solid spear
#

Cuz we dont know how real IMT is and exactly how NV stacks up against Rogue/IMT in this meta

#

I do think those are the top 3 though

crisp lynx
#

IMT vs Rogue waiting room why

solid spear
#

But even they look shaky sometimes

#

Like AKM D.Va still got me like WaitWhat

toxic yacht
#

they probably wanted to run a genji-tracer dive

#

but like

#

aKm is their best dps

#

๐Ÿค”

solid spear
#

Yeah thats what it is

#

I understand why but like...

#

Just run double hitscan its a waste

toxic yacht
#

yeah, lol

balmy wolf
#

hey, better to throw on some meaningless online cup vs Shanghai qualifier monkaS

toxic yacht
#

especially when the meta seems to be moving towards tracer + 76

solid spear
#

You think so?

#

I feel like weve been seeing more Genji the last couple weeks

toxic yacht
#

I mean, in terms of DPS, I've been seeing less and less tracer genji combos

#

but I dunno

#

I haven't been watching that much recently

#

so you'd know better

#

brb looking at the meta report

solid spear
#

Idk a lot of teams like IMT and some others have been playing like

#

Exclusively Genji/Tracer

toxic yacht
#

IMT ran a lot of 76 + Tracer back in contenders iirc, but maybe it was only during the groups, I dunno

#

they seemed to have moved back to genji tracer

#

note that I didn't watch most of the contenders playoffs because the time sucked+I had close to zero investment in it

solid spear
#

Lately every team just runs Tracer/Genji or 76/Tracer

#

76/Genji feels kinda dead

#

Triple dps is really only popular in EU

toxic yacht
#

based off what I've seen NA tends to run more 76+tracer while EU runs more genji+tracer or triple dps

solid spear
#

Genji has highest play in EU

#

By a decent amount

toxic yacht
#

not surprised, lul

solid spear
#

EU is also the only region where D.Va isnt a borderline autolock

toxic yacht
#

can't think of too many NA projectile players, the region has a massive hitscan bias

#

well

#

they play shittons of pharah

#

so I guess that they play hitscan + pharah?

#

also, reinhardt 6%

#

wtf

#

that's so high

solid spear
#

I mean they still play more Genji than Pharah overall idk

toxic yacht
#

ya, definitely

#

also, NA seems to prefer pharmercy while EU runs more solo pharah

#

sooo, I haven't watched a single full BEAT match

#

which ones should I check out?

solid spear
#

Youre looking at stats whats the difference on 76?

#

And you mean like vods?

toxic yacht
solid spear
#

I guess Rogue/Arc6

toxic yacht
#

nah, I just want to watch matches overall

solid spear
#

And man I dont remember that much Rein lol

toxic yacht
#

same

#

am very surprised

solid spear
#

Though he came out yesterday for a solid 6 seconds

toxic yacht
#

rogue?

#

iirc they pulled out rein or something

#

from what I heard

solid spear
#

Idk if they did I didnt see

toxic yacht
#

oh, I was thinking of nV

#

oops

#

rogue probably not

solid spear
#

But like during Arc6/CLG someone went Rein on Dorado for literally one fight got raped and switched

#

Idr who

clever portal
#

NV ran rein as part of their troll comp

solid spear
#

That little Rein usage is probably gonna disappear soon anyway

toxic yacht
#

๐Ÿ™ for doomfist

#

the fact that he already got nerfed seems to be a good sign, lol

solid spear
#

Tbf Sojum

clever portal
#

IMO it's better to be released op like ana

solid spear
#

Orisa got 2 nerfs in PTR lol

toxic yacht
#

lol

#

what nerfs did she get again?

#

like, pre-release?

wary harbor
#

Rip rein usage

solid spear
#

Ammo 200->150, super charger 15% extra

clever portal
#

Magazine decreased from 200 to 150

toxic yacht
#

ah

#

well, doomfist actually looks useful, for one

toxic yacht
#

the moment people saw orisa everyone's reactions were "wtf is this shit"

#

"how should this replace rein?"

#

"wtf blizzard, do you even understand why rein gets picked?"

solid spear
#

Yeah well see how it is its not like Sombra though cuz yeah everyone saw Orisa and knew she'd be ass

balmy wolf
#

i'm hard

solid spear
#

Im still kinda unsure on Doomfist though I dont think hell be quite as good as some people think

#

But at least it doesnt seem like hell be garbage

toxic yacht
#

I dunno, he seems to have a stupid high skill ceiling with all of his mobility and ways to kill people

#

feels like a character where we should just wait and watch

#

before we do anything

solid spear
#

Yeah I think itll take a little while to know for sure if hes really strong or not good

#

He's immediately less useless than like half the cast at least though

red anvil
#

i'm just afraid that the way he works will be another nail in reins coffin

solid spear
#

Oh Reins dead

#

But he already was

red anvil
#

I still cross fingers that he'll once return, glorious as ever sephiCry

wary harbor
#

Rip me cause I'm a rein main NotLikeSoldier

toxic yacht
#

well, he actually seems to work best with a rein

#

in a triple tank comp

red anvil
toxic yacht
#

according to some people who barely played with him but are nevertheless theorycrafting since they actually understand the game, so take it with a grain of salt

#

who is roadhog?

#

yeah, rein, zarya, dva

solid spear
#

DF doesn't seem like a character thatll be playing behind a rein shield much

toxic yacht
#

ya

#

but doom behind a rein shield would be dumdum except he wants to kill dive heroes

clever portal
#

Missing sk vs C9

toxic yacht
#

but it was more of him enabling the rein

#

since he'll be taking a lot of pressure off him

clever portal
#

Hopefully game is still on in an hour

solid spear
#

He seems like hed be better against a triple tank comp than in one

wary harbor
#

Won't doomfist just make dive stronger

red anvil
#

In a cluth fight he would just manage to smack the rein backwards though

#

exposing the team

solid spear
#

DF/Rein/Zarya/D.Va has like no range

#

Damage

toxic yacht
#

well, the idea is that he fucks up dva + winston due to his burst damage and the fact that they have no way of mitigating it and that zarya would enable him with bubbles

#

alternatively, run along with a second hitscan hero

#

instead of triple tank

#

brb digging up the post

balmy wolf
#

Triple tank with Doomfist is kind of very anti dive specific

#

because there's no range whatsoever

solid spear
#

He seems good against D.Va

wary harbor
#

Yeah

solid spear
#

I think DF would be best in like some of older dive comps

red anvil
#

yeah read that already, i'm just afraid that a dive based sombra comp will completely obliterate it

solid spear
#

Iike the 2/2/2 with Winston, Zarya 2016 stuff

toxic yacht
#

which is why we gotta nerf sombra because she's fucking broken reeeeeeeeeee

clever portal
#

Sombra comps have no counter

solid spear
#

Sombra and Tracer kinda beat him hard

toxic yacht
#

smh I predicted that EMP is op as shit the moment she was announced at blizzcon

#

predicted exactly

#

what's happening now

#

minus dive

clever portal
#

If you want Rein back delete sombra

solid spear
#

I mean emp is broken but like

#

I could live with it

clever portal
#

She's a tank hard counter

solid spear
#

If it wasnt up every 4 seconds

toxic yacht
#

I'd be fine with EMP if it weren't up at every push

solid spear
#

Exactly

red anvil
#

sombras hack have always kinda worked on because you've had heroes that have managed to fire back at her to cancle it

solid spear
#

It's literally Mei again

toxic yacht
#

yee

clever portal
#

Here's the problem with sombra, she can only do this on 2cp

solid spear
#

Ult is up way too much for what it does

toxic yacht
#

she was ran on every map

clever portal
#

Building ults on normal naps is hard

vestal mortar
#

Yeah there is only like 30 seconds - 1 min window where there is no emp, it is too fast.

toxic yacht
#

in nv vs kdp

#

and got emp relatively fast

#

LH also makes pretty good use of her on payload attack

clever portal
#

And in qp (which Jeff self admittedly balances for) your team doesn't use your health packs

toxic yacht
#

he never said that they balance for qp...

solid spear
#

I mean if you have give her something in return whatever

balmy wolf
#

it is funny to meme about it though @toxic yacht

solid spear
#

But emp has no business charging that fast

clever portal
#

Don't kill the meme FeelsKCHHHH

toxic yacht
#

I hate the memes about it because people actually believe it

#

and then perpetuate that garbage

#

reeeeeeeeeeeeee

clever portal
#

Making an argument which includes QP stats is stupid by itself

toxic yacht
#

maybe make her deal more damage to hacked targets or something

#

I just don't wanna see EMP up every 5 seconds

solid spear
#

Wait no

#

Sojum pls

#

I beg of you

clever portal
#

How about her self healing charge remains the same

toxic yacht
#

she makes 2CP worse than it already is too

clever portal
#

But they nerf the charge your team can give you

#

Fuck mobile autocorrect

balmy wolf
#

between shit spawn and EMP, pick your poison

toxic yacht
#

or maybe just give in and buff her damage since the disrupter sombra isn't really working

balmy wolf
#

but 2CP is balanced - Jeph

toxic yacht
#

blizz insists on making her a disrupter, but she's only good because she's an EMP bot

#

like, just nerf the ult charge and buff her damage, lower her mag size, I dun fuckin know

red anvil
#

Sombra is balanced because she dont work in QP o3o

clever portal
#

No need to buff the damahe

solid spear
clever portal
#

Tighten the bs spread

solid spear
#

Idk give her better spread or some shit

clever portal
#

Her damage is RNG

solid spear
#

But emp gotta get nerfed bruh

toxic yacht
#

oh yeah, her spread is fucking stupid

wintry matrix
#

i think it's because teams don't really give her a chance as a disruptor

toxic yacht
#

ya, fix that shit before doing anything else

#

KDP tried to run her as a disrupter

#

it worked very well, but they were stomping Flash Lux

clever portal
#

Because o3o is a better disrupter in every sense

toxic yacht
#

it'd have been interesting to see more teams try to run sombra that way

#

but half the reason why it worked was because flash lux fucking sucks, lol

#

like, rascal won a 1v1 vs the 76

clever portal
#

I think Esca gameplay is comparable to Rascal vs flash lux

toxic yacht
#

as sombra

#

sombra should not be winning that fight

clever portal
#

Because he was playing as a DPS, like esca

balmy wolf
#

Like I said yesterday, Sombra is underutilized in term of her kit, because her EMP is too OP to not use it.

solid spear
#

You could even like make the out of stealth delay lower than .7 and make her spread better if it meant a 20% emp nerf

balmy wolf
#

her hack has great disruption ability outside of just farming EMP

toxic yacht
#

I'd really have loved to see more teams run her back in the tank meta since she in theory counters it's entire playstyle

#

too bad that people only got good at her after it ended

#

and that sombra works infinitely better with a dive

balmy wolf
#

i remember when people claimed that Sombra is a Reinhardt counter

#

and my reaction was "wut"

clever portal
#

Roadhog/Zarya/Ana is a dive counter mercypls

solid spear
#

Thing with tanks too is that need for immediate constant healing as opposed to running for packs

#

Its harder to give up a second healer

toxic yacht
#

ya

#

also, a dive hero is so mobile that he can just go to a pack and back while barely missing out on any action

clever portal
#

Did you guys see the theorycrafting

#

I think some pros were saying you don't run healers at all

#

Because they would get instant killed by dive anyway

toxic yacht
#

nice mobile

wintry matrix
#

and why doesn't she?

clever portal
wintry matrix
#

btw, what end did skipjack found himself into?

toxic yacht
#

:(

#

under LK but LFT, I think?

#

or just an FA

solid spear
#

Such a shame

toxic yacht
#

got so fucked by the three-way trade

clever portal
#

Was skipjack good?

wintry matrix
#

it rmemeber hearing something about him trialing a team, but never after

toxic yacht
#

I bet he's salty af about misfits' current performance :(

#

although we all are

#

LK trialed him at some point

#

got replaced my mow

wintry matrix
#

or maybe it was just LK

toxic yacht
#

also, yeah

#

skipjack was pretty good

#

which is why I'm surprised about him not having found a team at this point

#

maybe his monkey isn't good enough for current standards?

#

I dunno, he was one of the guys who ran monkey when other wouldn't iirc

clever portal
#

Or there's no teams

toxic yacht
#

he's definitely an excellent rein

clever portal
#

aKm DVa main now gremlindva

red anvil
#

he played D.va almost all yesterday

toxic yacht
#

rogue throwing

#

just put nico on dva

#

lol

clever portal
#

It's possible he's better than Nico at DVa

red anvil
#

guess they would just train nicos Gengu

toxic yacht
#

aKm and unkoe are their best players, pls don't do this to one of them

solid spear
#

He wasnt playing all D.Va

clever portal
#

Genji very strong in NA, and in this meta tank players are very important

solid spear
#

Nico was on it more but still

red anvil
#

naw they switched to their default comp when they was getting stomped

balmy wolf
solid spear
#

Soon ever having to switch lul

toxic yacht
#

feels like half the reason they got stomped is because aKm was on dva

#

methinks

#

like, dva is super important, but aKm is like, one of the best dps players in ow, period. I don't think that nico's genji is good enough to compensate for the lack of aKm

balmy wolf
#

Nico just need to ask B1shop how to run D.va better

#

his D.va is good all things considering tbh

solid spear
#

Its fine

balmy wolf
#

yesterday Rogue runs Pharmercy though

#

which is kind of surprising

solid spear
#

But yeah I agree with Sojum Genji isnt important enough to warrant taking one of the best dps in the entire game off dps

#

Pharmercy is really strong on Lijuang especially when youre dealing with opposing Pharmercy

red anvil
#

Soon flexing, he did great flex vs. LH

#

And rogue used pharmercy? unkoe on mercy or?

toxic yacht
#

ya, that's how they normally run pharmercy

red anvil
#

i guess umkoe got practice on mercy playing with S4

#

Shame i hate pharmercy so much, akm is solid on that pharah ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

solid spear
#

Ive always hating spectating it even like last June when it was popular its just boring to watch

toxic yacht
#

man, seeing twoeasy frag again makes me so happy

#

he's doing well, which means that he's gonna get kicked soon, lol

clever portal
#

They went out right?

toxic yacht
#

also, ZP not making many inconsistency jokes ๐Ÿ‘€

clever portal
#

Get ready for kick

toxic yacht
#

they're out

#

ya

solid spear
#

Nah he didnt form this team hes good

toxic yacht
#

true, I forgot

solid spear
#

Oh wait Reunited too he might be dead anyway

toxic yacht
#

pretty sure that he also made ReU

#

they've been playing together since their battlefield days

#

he, unfixed and 2 others

#

iirc

solid spear
#

Well he was part of it when it was formed I know

#

Im saying he didnt like literally put it together like Weunited/Bench Boys

toxic yacht
#

brb checking out the battlefield squad

balmy wolf
#

DreamKazper and TwoEasy are too good for Tempo Storm

toxic yacht
#

oh yeah, he was already together with 3 of them

#

dunno to how he could really "put them together" when it's only 2 people

solid spear
#

They played BF

#

Idk let's just say he formed all of them to make the joke better

toxic yacht
#

apparently twoeasy, unfixed, morte

#

winghaven maybe?

#

where is jackie when we need him

solid spear
#

Smh

toxic yacht
#

vallu

#

he, morte, unfixed and vallu

#

let's just say the he put them together for the memes, yeah, lul

solid spear
#

Mhmm

toxic yacht
#

how old was he back then

#

holy shit

solid spear
clever portal
#

Battlefield had pro?

#

What did they even play

supple nymph
#

i think 2142 had pro FeelsGreatMan

solid spear
#

I think 3 and 4 did too

clever portal
#

They play conquest?

#

obliteration?

#

Rush?

red anvil

balmy wolf

Unfixed/Morte/Vallutaja/TwoEasy

clever portal

i did not even notice that!

well found their past o3o i just took the first world championship vid i could find

#

6v6 conquest looks kinda fun tbh

solid spear

Me and Sojum were literally just... why

red anvil
#

lol wups, i just saw arnys comment

#

i need to learn to read upwards

balmy wolf
#

@solid spear saw it lol

clever portal
#

Conquest felt empty even with 32 players

supple nymph
#

c9 best cs team

clever portal
#

C9 reverse sweep HYPERLUL

#

The funny thing about battlefield is

#

There's potential for tactical play

#

But basically everyone runs and guns

#

You could technically play like cs

balmy wolf
#

I mean

#

it is a wonder by itself that Cloud9 made it to final

#

the more interesting question is can Cloud9 gets a legend spot in Krakow monkaS

red anvil
#

battlefield surely must have had the idea to make a competitve mode

#

if it dont have it already?

#

it would be so amazing

clever portal
#

Atleast 4 didn't

#

Closest thing I felt was Obliteration

#

Or rush

#

Game works on 32 vs 32

#

Not sure how a competitive game would work

toxic yacht
#

comp vs 4v4 or 6v6 iirc

#

jackie explained it at some point

#

he used to play bf competitively iirc

#

he already know the ReU guys from there

red anvil
#

in the vid i linked above they played a very small 3 point 6v6 conquest

toxic yacht
#

4v4 or 8v8

#

conquest 8v8 or 6v6, rush 4v4

red anvil
#

probably could probably have other modes created in the same way

toxic yacht
#

then they used smaller maps or just restriceted them

clever portal
#

I think kaku meant add comp to normal play

#

Like a ranked mode

#

There was a "skill" rating in the game

#

Not sure if it meant much though

red anvil
#

they had a quick join button if i recall correctly, that was never was used by anyone

#

i guess that might have used that skill rate system?

clever portal
#

Not sure why they removed it

#

Probably in balancing teams?

#

You can get rolled really hard in bf though

#

Much harder than OW

#

Literally 100-500

#

In OW atleast you can leave spawn

#

In BF you sit in metro spawn

red anvil
#

32v32 metro TracerWhy

#

i miss good old BC2 rushes

#

but it had the same problem, it was so often stomp or be stomped

clever portal
#

The only maps with problems were Metro and locker

#

On other maps even if lost massively it didn't feel like a stomp

#

Because you can cap random objectives to spread them out

#

But bf4 Level 140 helis FeelsKCHHHH

#

Most rage inducing thing in the game

#

Actual hard carry

#

Worse than a good tank player

Rogue vs Immortals in 10 mins

toxic yacht
#

let's hope that rogue stops throwing and that agilities is sober

balmy wolf
wintry matrix
#

is qc x1 normally this game of find the chicken?

balmy wolf
#

duel is very much a game of chicken

#

stack control

#

and a small amount of aims

#

Rapha is known for his passive, item control heavy playstyle

#

his aim is still better than 99% of the playerbase but his reads are legendary

wintry matrix
#

from what i'm watching rn looks really boring, i guess those reads could be interesting for someone who knows the game, but def not for me

balmy wolf

it is the qualifier atm

so it is not the highest level of duel yet
