no western teams suck, we kinda predicted that back in S2

I'm invested enough in korean teams to watch them play on their own anyway

[red anvil]

[toxic yacht]

I stammer less on discord because I don't feel comfortable on it, lul

[solid spear]

[solid spear]

Wait no

Saya is in spec

[toxic yacht]

[red anvil]

[clever portal]

Chat claims mousepad issue

[toxic yacht]

[wanton bronze]

@toxic yacht tisrobin posted a link to the stream on compoverwatch

so we might get translations?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[toxic yacht]

I'd assume that they'd need permission from the stream owners or something

I dunno

probably invite an english spec or something

[wanton bronze]

it is tisrobin who usually does translations right

[toxic yacht]

he usually always makes posts explaining shit that happened in korea

TISRobin is the hero we need

🙏

[clever portal]

Don't forget Sopti

[solid spear]

The crosshair is tilting me

[crisp lynx]

[toxic yacht]

sopti is the hero of this channel

If you are gonna run DF with tanks I prefer this to the triple tank comp people wrre talking about yesterday with no range

[balmy wolf]

"TL;DR: Console players could add millions of possible viewers for OWL, increasing profitability and popularity. But console seems pretty ignored or written off. Does OWL need the console players to get more involved for success? If so, how could we make that happen?"

[red anvil]

[balmy wolf]

This is like that one guy in other discord who claimed that NA scene isn't bad at all in term of esport, but used console esports as an example

[toxic yacht]

ya, I'd run him along with 76 or something

possibly cree because I love mccree

[wanton bronze]

do many people ever watch console esports?

[toxic yacht]

or just tracer because tracer is never a bad choice

[wanton bronze]

Its rare I ever see it on twitch

[red anvil]

No doomfist

[velvet scarab]

ive never seen a console tournament

[balmy wolf]

@wanton bronze only NA pleb

[red anvil]

ABORT

[solid spear]

Well idk FGC is on console and that's big

[toxic yacht]

libero pharah

[solid spear]

Thats all I can talk about

[narrow sphinx]

there's people who watches fifa esports

lol

[balmy wolf]

Console esports are mostly COD/Halo/Smash, all of which has no international appeal

[toxic yacht]

pretty sure that COD is only big on consoles

also, halo

although it used to be bigger back in the day

[narrow sphinx]

smash is maybe the only plausible nintendo esport

[toxic yacht]

splatoon 2 🙏

[wanton bronze]

no sojum

[narrow sphinx]

Well if splatoon 2 works the things well it can be an esport

[toxic yacht]

Raxxin, you, orea and I

[narrow sphinx]

It has Potential

[red anvil]

I dont get it, why would people have a baby console league

[toxic yacht]

will make the splatoon 2 team

[red anvil]

[solid spear]

Like I can speak about stuff like smash, SF, GG etc but outside of FGC idk how the console esports landscape is

[toxic yacht]

tbh the crosshair

they should remove the dot

[red anvil]

"ooo that is beautiful aim assist from Soon right there"

[wanton bronze]

this is why I dont come to esports discussion that much.

[toxic yacht]

and make it smaller

[wanton bronze]

dafran was basically speaking in tongues

[solid spear]

Sojum I was saying it tilts me lol

[wanton bronze]

oreo

w/e

[toxic yacht]

lmao

[balmy wolf]

Nintendo esport is about as meaningful as Nintendo online services

[narrow sphinx]

But i dont think that splatoon will get the same amount of hype like when in a semifinals the two rivals go donkey kong vs bowser

[toxic yacht]

it didn't tilt me until you mentioned it earlier

[narrow sphinx]

that's hype

[toxic yacht]

then I was trying to ignore it

now I can't

:[

[clever portal]

So there's a problem with console

That is that most people claim overwatch players are casual

Console players are even more casual than PC

They are ultra casuals

[toxic yacht]

wait

nus on dps

wot

[narrow sphinx]

and then there's portable consoles players

[clever portal]

Who will play a few games of OW and then go to destiny/cod

[toxic yacht]

I didn't even realize

[clever portal]

Yh saya not playing

[balmy wolf]

Mind you 30 millions copies sold but they never specify how much of it is "console" vs "PC"

Which to me is the wrinkle of the stat

[solid spear]

Well 30 million accounts

Which is a huge difference

[toxic yacht]

they also didn't mention the amount of active players

[balmy wolf]

A third of it being smurfs lolz

[toxic yacht]

lol

[solid spear]

Cuz remember on console smurfs are free

[red anvil]

i dont really think it would be that many people that would be interested in watching console version over pc version

[solid spear]

And it counts free weekend players

[pine star]

Console is a small percentage of the community, don't remember where I saw the graph tho

[toxic yacht]

I mean, we have 2 console plebs who watch esports 🙏

draw is on pc now though

[crisp lynx]

is overwatch free in weekend in console?

[pine star]

Even considering the fact that you can create countless accounts in console with just one copy of the game

[clever portal]

I don't think console engagement would change anything

Some weekends sopti

[toxic yacht]

free weekends usually happen on consoles too

iirc

[solid spear]

Every few months they have a free weekend where you can play the game free for a couple days

[crisp lynx]

oh ty

[pine star]

Master race now

I used to be on console too lol

[clever portal]

I'm console

[toxic yacht]

watching winston and dva get punched around like this makes me feel good

[solid spear]

I mean I still mostly play on console

Just not OW

[pine star]

Pleb

[balmy wolf]

Why would you want to spectate a lesser, more inferior version of OW where everything is slower and Pharmercy reigns supreme?

[pine star]

Wtf discord

[clever portal]

I don't think anyone is claiming you would

[toxic yacht]

erster vs the air

Airster

[clever portal]

Just the idea is that more engagement might get console players more interested in esports

And watch OWL

[balmy wolf]

i doubt it tbh

and also https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/6mdeut/opinion_hero_stacking_would_bring_back_diversity/

🤔

[clever portal]

LUL

[pine star]

After I transitioned to pc, I can't even touch OW on my console anymore

[toxic yacht]

Hoons's tracking

[clever portal]

Yes, increase diversity

[pine star]

Hero stacking

[toxic yacht]

back when we had hero stacking

[wanton bronze]

Dva would be even worse with stacking

[toxic yacht]

"diversity"

lol

[solid spear]

Yeah 2 Tracers and Winstons instead of 1 lul

[wanton bronze]

could you imagine an entire team of dvas

with the new defense matrix

[toxic yacht]

c'mon, gods and seagull with the double hanzo and the double zarya was pretty dope

but yeah, fuck hero stacking

lol

[red anvil]

Triiple winston meta pls

[toxic yacht]

it was garbage

tracer stacking

[balmy wolf]

whoever has been making these threads in r/compow has peanut for brains it seems

[pine star]

2cp would basically be the team that physically cannot play the game anymore and gives up loses

[toxic yacht]

6 dva stalls

there is a video

[red anvil]

6x reaper

[toxic yacht]

of nV vs oneshot (later method)

where nV had a 6 dva stall

[red anvil]

6x beyblade

[toxic yacht]

and they actually won

on hanamura

[balmy wolf]

btw notice how Doomfist's spectate portrait is his mouth rather than his eyes compare to other characters?

[pine star]

6 reapers
bayblade
no nano

[wanton bronze]

get the game paused and tactically swap out players mid game so you can stall forever

[toxic yacht]

it reminds me too much of hog

tbh

looks really confusing on the killfeed

[balmy wolf]

Dayfly ex AFB? 🤔

[toxic yacht]

good that blizzard killed hog

[crisp lynx]

yes

[toxic yacht]

yes, ex afb

he was their, support?

I forgot

[balmy wolf]

this crosshair is AIDS though

🔫

[crisp lynx]

no one imagine 6 mercy

[pine star]

He was a liability

[solid spear]

I mean people wanted 1HL but Kaplan was adamant about 0HL it wasnt until tournaments started ignoring in game rules and setting up 1HL tourneys that they started listening

[toxic yacht]

they actually forced the atlantic showdown to use 0HL

[clever portal]

So I'm guessing 2-3 tracers would be run

[toxic yacht]

they put in map pools and forced them to use sudden death

[solid spear]

On koth 2 was common

Double McCree was common too

[balmy wolf]

[wanton bronze]

Rein, Bastion, Double widow, Mccree and Mercy comp

[toxic yacht]

after seeing that I was like "oh yeah, add 1HL lol"

[balmy wolf]

mind you, hero stacking is also horrible to balance. If you think balancing this game right now is assinine with Jeff "I think the game is balanced" Kaplan, try to balance with hero stacking in mind.

[wanton bronze]

of course

[toxic yacht]

double mccree with both crees using deadeye at the same time

was also a thing

lol

[balmy wolf]

@wanton bronze you wasnt here the last few days. Unkoeee was disgusting in 2CP

[toxic yacht]

holy shit

unkoe

[solid spear]

1.6 emps per minute they said

Balanced hero

[toxic yacht]

unkoe was getting the equivelant of 2 EMPS every push

lol

based off how fast he was charging it

like, he uses EMP at the beginning of the fight

[balmy wolf]

Watching tried to fruitlessly attack point B was the stuff of nightmare

[toxic yacht]

he has EMP at the end

[balmy wolf]

why 3 E's @balmy wolf

[red anvil]

Sombra is getting used on more and more maps

[wanton bronze]

outside of the usual ones?

I'll look up vods later.

"Hello, it's Jeff Kaplan here, today was a very productive day at the office. We've been monitoring the quickplay statistics for console and it is evident that Sombra is not getting enough play time. Consequently, we have decided to increase her ultimate charge rate by 50%. We hope this doesn't have any negative impact on the pro scene, but as you all know quickplay takes priority here at Blizzard."

[balmy wolf]

@balmy wolf because why not

[toxic yacht]

she's also very good on r66 and hollywood

[balmy wolf]

lolz

[toxic yacht]

tbh people have found a way to use her on every map

because its 2 extra e's for no reason its only his twich because unkoe was taken?

[toxic yacht]

but the really good ez maps are the ones you mentioned, r66 and hollywood

oh, hanamura first

if you do an aggro defense

[balmy wolf]

amirite @crisp lynx

also https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/6mex88/remove_zarya_and_roadhog_from_tanks_and_merge/

"I have no issues really with Mei and Symmetra they are self explainable why they should be in a special group. Roadhog is currently in the same position, he has no read tanking ability yet people say he is a tank because of his hp, this is ofc faulty since tanks are supposed to block damage for the team or himself and roadhog does none of that. It is basically a bad DPS, with a positional tool and self healing.
Zarya is a DPS/Tank, but so few play her correctly and think that they can take alot of damage with this hero and die within seconds.
I am currently plat in competitive so not very high, but the fact that people pick zarya and roadhog as "tanks" when they still play them like Rein or Orisa is horrible and by moving these from the tank group we could finally accept that they don't pick tanks but selfish heroes to have fun with."

"I am currently plat in competitive"

[pine star]

They don't have runner

"Tanks create space is that the only thing they do do be tanks?
Tracer creates space, Pharrah creates space, Junk creates space, Mei creates space.
You are a muppet, so I thought maybe he needs someone to tell him what roadhog is. so I goggled "Is roadhog a tank" and here was the first video, enjoy reasoning.
Your SR means nothing, except that you can aim and perhaps work in a group. It is like saying a football player is the best coach because he is good at the game.
Retard"

and he linked a YourOverwatch video

titled "Overwatch: Roadhog Is Not A Tank - Role Misconceptions"

[toxic yacht]

why do bad players always say that SR means nothing?

[balmy wolf]

this is reminding me of the other time where a plat player argued with me that Mercy is a good pick in dive meta

[toxic yacht]

almost every single person whom I've seen who says that SR means nothing turns out to be a complete trashcan

So no Riders for Contenders?

[balmy wolf]

the more important question is who's going to take the spot of Contenders

[toxic yacht]

inb4 expert

🙏

[pine star]

[toxic yacht]

probably someone from riders' group

I'd assume

[balmy wolf]

https://puu.sh/wGh5O/3bd013d7d0.png

probably Team Expert

[limber pine]

I hear RiP is org-less

[balmy wolf]

I think 123 will get sign soon though

a small org contacted them via twitter

Here's hoping that G2 or some other orgs jump in a bit to test the water though

[solid spear]

Wait theyre disbanding?

Pls no

[sturdy granite]

I really hope they stay together to finish contenders at least. If they do, they could probably use a new name.

"I didnt even watch it, you obviously are a fucktard with low IQ. You can't even tell us why roadhog is a TANK that protects his team, you just repeat that he is picked in the tank slot. That just means you have 2 dps 1 ultility one tank.
You must understand that this game is about aim and knowledge of the enemy, you can get very high with good aim. But you will never be good in 6vs6, because you lack intelligence."

[blazing parrot]

you saw that?

yeahhhh.

guys pretty stupid

[balmy wolf]

I swear I tried to explain that Roadhog is a tank because he has a lot of health and he creates space

meanwhile this guy think a tank is a tank because a tank protects their players 👀

Cus I am stuck always debating with low IQ people?

guy should stick to r/ow

[wintry matrix]

tbh, even jeph said that the categories are more of beginner's guide than a strict set of characteristics

guy's a cunt tho

[blazing parrot]

theres no real point to put a box on the heroes

most of them dont fall into strictly 1 category

[clever portal]

So is r/competitiveoverwatch finally gone?

I guess it's too big now

The normies are there

[blazing parrot]

when did they ever leave

[wintry matrix]

i always thought the only difference about cow and ow is that cow think themselves better than ow

[toxic yacht]

pretty much

especially now

[blazing parrot]

cow has bigger heads

ow likes blizzard

cow hates blizzard

[wintry matrix]

actually, i think ow is better because at least there isn't much negativity

[toxic yacht]

cow gives better head

[blazing parrot]

naw

[wintry matrix]

these damn zoophiles

[solid spear]

[blazing parrot]

the highlights are better head

at least people have good conversations there sometimes

[balmy wolf]

World Cup no double elims backets

[solid spear]

They're both trash

[blazing parrot]

all the pro highlights "WOW PRO IS AMAZE I SO JEALOUS I WISH I CN DO DAT"

[balmy wolf]

all the pleb highlights "WOW SO FUNNY"

[blazing parrot]

"suprsing amount o fdamage"\

[balmy wolf]

reminded me whenever a meme evolved from a small inside joke to a cultural phenomenon

at that point the meme ceased to be funny anymore

[blazing parrot]

"i need healing"

god damn

[wintry matrix]

you mean the definition of a meme?

[blazing parrot]

there are such things as tasteful memes

[wintry matrix]

i don't think i'd ever encountered a meme that wasn't repeated a bazillion times, 9/10 times of that out of it's context

the only exception is close or really small communities

[balmy wolf]

meme actually used to just be around a community

like early 2010s

or during the late end of the 2000s

back then meme is less funny mei mei and more inside joke

but now with the way the internet works

things just spiraled out of control

[wintry matrix]

i'm fine with stuff like, say, wholesome memes because at least it varies a bit, but stuff like "c9 the point" becomes so annoying, because it's the same fucking time every time something barely relates to it

[blazing parrot]

reddit doesnt help lol

hence "spiraled out of control"

[balmy wolf]

meme at this point has became unfunny

and it is like a tired joke that never die

because everyone gets it and it is so easy to pretend to "get it" by repeated it ad nauseum

[blazing parrot]

twitch chat here

i see that theres a dva bomb on point in overtime

let me just type

c9 LUL in chat

its so funny

haHAA

oh is that a graviton pulling the whole team off the payload

c9 LUL

[vestal ermine]

If you watch a League game, it's "Sneaky in lane", and "GoldenGlue was the problem", etc

[red anvil]

[clever portal]

Imo overwatch is still better than cs chat

In cs its literally just spam

In OW usually they try to be creative with the copy pastas

[balmy wolf]

GOD ALLU

BOT ALLU

[clever portal]

And always the memes with EU/NA/BR

[balmy wolf]

NA AIM

NA NADE

although, talked about that, yesterday's Nico i think outperformed Agilities as a whole

Agilities for a good while was playing drunk

[wintry matrix]

the weird thing is that agilities from time to time still got some 4-kill

[balmy wolf]

it is a 7 games series but through the whole night Agilities looks off

even leading up to it

meanwhile with AKM on D.va it seems that is shifting the burden of carry from AKM to NicoGDH

and so far from the tournament NicoGDH looks like he is up for it

Eu blade > Na blade

[red anvil]

naw they are just trying to practice so they can be flexiable

small tourneys are great practice

they always shifted back if they felt they were pressured

[balmy wolf]

not overall, at least

but shifting AKM to D.va usually means that they wants an even more high powered version of their dive

around Nico's Genji

[red anvil]

shame af. watching one of the best soliders in the world on D.va though

can someone stomp Rogues face? send soon on the D.va pls.

[balmy wolf]

I mean went from a team that can't 2CP to a team with Unkoeee on Sombra. That's pretty big in term of evolution

which is something that people haven't pointed out in the midst of the hype train

[red anvil]

its like night and day compared to apex

and pre apex for that matter

especially pre apex >_> at least in apex they shifted between 2 comps, slow claps

Unkoe had solid af tracking tho

[wintry matrix]

i still not sure actually about rogue being that good on 2cp

they won one map against kdp, but got rolled in 2cp against LH and Aod

tho they might be ahead of most western teams just because of korea

[blazing parrot]

koreans love 2cp

[wintry matrix]

i wonder how NV and Rogue would go on 2cp, since they're western teams that are most seasoned on 2cp

[solid spear]

Unkoes Sombra is nutty

[red anvil]

^

[solid spear]

Which is probably the main reason they went to it

[red anvil]

He had a ridiculous amounts of emps

i think a team of a better scale would find a way to work around it though

[solid spear]

Yeah Hex said something like 1.6 emps per minute

But thats cuz Sombra is balanced

[red anvil]

people are still begging for buffs on her on forums dw

she will be buffed soon

[clever portal]

They've been begging for DVa buffs

But they haven't given in yet

[red anvil]

Only because D.va already had her shine in the light

Gota swap that spot

[solid spear]

well

I mean even though Jeff said they never touched D.Va they did buff DM back in March

I go back and forth on whether I think Blizz will actually touch Sombra I wouldnt be surprised if they didnt and Im not meming

[wintry matrix]

that wasn't a buff, more of a fix/QOL thing

[solid spear]

I mean sure but it made the ability better so wheteher or not it was intended to be a buff it was

[red anvil]

the min distance change?

[solid spear]

yeah

[wintry matrix]

eh, i guess, i'm just saying that statement by jeph was consistent

[blazing parrot]

when does world cup start

[red anvil]

friday

[blazing parrot]

this friday?

[red anvil]

early af.

yeah

[blazing parrot]

streams?

[red anvil]

group stages

[wintry matrix]

you could say it's a bit like genji and hanzo wall climb thing, technically it's a buff as it makes him better, but it's really just QOL stuff

[red anvil]

it will be on playoverwatch stream twitch

[solid spear]

well they said "we did not touch her" which is technically untrue

*he said

[red anvil]

she was already seeing heavy play in korea prior to that if i recall correctly

[solid spear]

shed be good without the change

[wintry matrix]

i think he was speaking more in terms of balance changes

[red anvil]

and was starting to see play in the west as well

then buff, must pick

[solid spear]

she was lowish in usage but that was partially cuz of

"shes nerfed now shes not as good"

people kneejerk a bit after patches

even in pro scene

[wintry matrix]

i think she would have been picked regardless of that change, she's too good in this meta

[solid spear]

I agree but DM is a lot better with the change

[red anvil]

wasent apex s2 prior to that buff?

[wintry matrix]

maybe triple dps would be more common, but still

[red anvil]

she had 45% pickrate there

[solid spear]

that buff was during s2

[red anvil]

yeah so the koreans dident have it

[solid spear]

they got it for top 4

before then they didnt have it

they changed to that patch for top 4

[red anvil]

so they swapped patch before semis?

aha

[solid spear]

Im not even arguing that oh she was trash and they gave her a crazy buff Im just saying his statement is kinda untrue

[red anvil]

still though, she had a huge pickrate even piror to that

[solid spear]

D.Va was like D tier for a few weeks then Koreans started using her more prior to that buff....not as much as now but like

she was getting pretty good usage

was sittting at 40-50% for a few weeks

then exploded

[red anvil]

40-50% is perfect for a tank

[solid spear]

yeah

[red anvil]

shame they had to mess with it tbh

[solid spear]

Winston was sitting at 50-60% then they gave him multiple buffs

nerfed Rein/Hog

[wintry matrix]

how does winston head hitbox compare with other tanks?

[solid spear]

well they reduced his, Hogs and Orisas

[red anvil]

it used to be gigantic, now it's pretty simlar

[wintry matrix]

and Rein was also just qol/fix stuff if i remember

[solid spear]

well shatter got nerfed

the height

and hes been buggy af lately on top of that

[red anvil]

well they broke him not indended but dident help

[wintry matrix]

yeah, and it's been a while, i kinda wished they reverted him to before while they try to fix the bugs

[red anvil]

and they havent fixed him even tho that bug have been out for at least a month now

[solid spear]

most the tanks had their heads reduced some

D.Vas the only one thats like pretty large still

but if they readjust her later they might make that smaller too

but yeah meta was already shifiting towards dive anyway the tank changes certainly exacerbated it though

[clever portal]

DVa exploded because of defense matrix

It's arguably an unfun ability

But it's old state was stupid

Over.gg match list empty

[solid spear]

Nah the change was good it made sense

[clever portal]

Yeah, hook 2.1 and new matrix should have been there from the start

[solid spear]

wait no mah 1.0

I miss it

[clever portal]

Hook 1.0 was okay

It just led to too many insane situations

For example just hooking high ground, and someone who you can't see gets hooked

[solid spear]

was the most fun

even with the old spread those juicy hooks youd get

[clever portal]

@ashen wadi

Yeah roadhog was fun af

Just imagining the salt of the person you killed was most the fun

I think they do the playoffs on that day as well

So 3 more games along with group stage games

So playoffs should be in the after noon

[balmy wolf]

1am for me

and since it is on weekend

i'm prepared

lolz

[red anvil]

Seems i'll be busy all weekend

[clever portal]

You can experience what we experience in EU if we want to watch NA tournaments

I can't believe i stayed up till 6 am on the last day

Not even watching the stream

[red anvil]

there is a good reason i watch VODs

[clever portal]

Pressing f5 and seeing the c9 score

[red anvil]

thanks to Immortals i've had a lot of stuffs to watch today at work

[clever portal]

I can't watch VODs

No hype

I only watch apex ones if I miss a game

[red anvil]

so many US ones that are mid night that i'm curious about

[thick cosmos]

Ence vs Iceblock in go4 monthly Grand finals if anyone wants to watch that

Now

[pine star]

@supple nymph Argentina

Baptism by fire

[clever portal]

You don't need to wake up at 3 am for that

4-0

There's a guy called Baito playing

[red anvil]

I guess rolling a dice who gets 4-0 except when Rogue plays does ease the math up

[clever portal]

Pharah on University, interesting

[pine star]

I'm gonna watch that one just to watch Argentina get fucked

[red anvil]

i'm gone watch the 6 pro players norway has in OW get smocked

4 or 5 from teams i've never heard of

4, expert got 2

there goes my patorism 😦

[thick cosmos]

So which country from the first qualifier do you guys think are going blizzcon? (Aside from france)

xd

[clever portal]

One of China, Hong Kong and Thailand

Kryw hard carry

[red anvil]

theres 4 aint there, 2 from GA and 2 for GB?

[clever portal]

No

Only 2 teams from each stage go to Blizzcon

Only 8 teams

So top 2 from each group go through a playoffs

[red anvil]

ah right

[thick cosmos]

I think denmark and france

Don't know the China and hong kong players tho

[red anvil]

i hate slight fate in China strats

just because i hope they will do something completely random

[pine star]

What if the east is at a greater level than we expect?

[red anvil]

Nah east is trash, Rogue will take Apex s3 easily

[supple nymph]

?

[red anvil]

• Redit pre apex s3

[pine star]

/s

Well I don't mean Korea

I mean Taiwan and Japan and China and such

[balmy wolf]

Taiwan is a maybe. Not Japan. China is long shot

[red anvil]

idk, i've not watched China at all

[balmy wolf]

Japan is kind of shite

[pine star]

How can we know tho?

[balmy wolf]

China has their own league but always get beat by KR

by watching OPC.......

[pine star]

We haven't seen them against the west

Korean LoL teams stomp Chinese, but Chinese still beat western teams

[balmy wolf]

It is always a crapshoot when it comes to international match up.

but OW isn't LoL

but China does scrim KR

but China didnt send a full pro team

[clever portal]

Btw

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DDbOijvXYAAfQV6.jpg

Hope this one goes even further

[pine star]

Yeah I'll have to see them to make an argument

But "by watching OPC" is absolutely invalid

[balmy wolf]

personally I just want team USA get eliminated

after that, I'm cool with whatever happen next

[pine star]

They will lol

I want Argentina to get raped by Rogue

[balmy wolf]

Team USA eliminated early and Rogue got to win WC

that's my only 2 small hopes

[thick cosmos]

Why do you want US to be eliminated?

[balmy wolf]

just so that I can mock even further

he said that he's happy with a top 4 finish

meanwhile half of the team are from teams that flunked out of Contenders
