mind you, if I were Robert Kraft or his management
Kungarna is one of the last team I'd sign
unless of course, mid tier NA is what they aim for
solid spear
I mean they're one of the better unsigned teams but even some signed teams are up for grabs and there's obvious reasons to avoid Kungarna regardless
solid spear
That's a possibility
Depends what teams are avaiable though
If you could youd probably rather just buy out a liquid or a Faze or even an unsigned team like FNRG than put together a "super team " and hope for the best
Its not lile Kraft doesnt have moneys

Want tank? Skipjack. Want hitscan? Carpe. Want proj? Graceful/Swoosh. Want flex support? Hidan. Want shotcaller? Vonethil, etc etc

but no, you won't magically get top 500 by watching people who are 50000x better than you play their own version of OW
red anvil
havent you copied pros accuracy yet? wtf dafran
toxic yacht
I tried, but it's still at 1%
red anvil
pro players are pro because of there ability to communicate and work together
1% accuracy? i'm still struggling to get 0.1%
i shoot blue players like the pros but dont appear to get kills
solid spear
Idk Ive always watched cuz of my interest in the scene but sure watching pros doesnt do anything to hurt you so if you want you can try
toxic yacht
same, I don't watch to improve, just to enjoy what I'm seeing
although trying to learn a bit from watching them can't harm you
you're better off watching their personal streams if you want to learn
red anvil
they have some niffy strats once in a while that can be used
but usually its just teamwork

If you have an amateur team or something
You could probably get more out of it, certain strats, positioning etc that you as a team could try and emulate maybe

sombra vs sombra is such unfun cancer
wary falcon
hope Blizzard will decrease sombra's damage and increase clip size
to prevent frustration
solid spear
Fix her garbage spread and nerf emp charge
balmy wolf
one thing about Quake item controls you can bring it over to OW is that Sombra hack duration is about 1 minute. So you can realistically hack one, and then just counts the timer while doing other things in the meantime
solid spear
That's it pls
clever portal
Damage is not even the problem, even increasing it would be fine
wary falcon
i'm still bitching about hog nerf nvm
balmy wolf
Sombra is meant to be a "disruptor" though, as per papa Jeph
toxic yacht
ya
balmy wolf
so increasing damage might be not what they wanted
toxic yacht
they're very much against buffing her damage
balmy wolf
even if it is the right thing to do in case of an EMP nerf
solid spear
Just make her spread less rng
toxic yacht
although that + fixing her ult is the easiest way of balancing her
wanton bronze
I do think it's kind of bullshit though that killing s defensive sombra has no real effect
wanton bronze
She's still got another 40 seconds on her big health pack hack
wary falcon
give her another Uzi
toxic yacht
which would be against what blizzard wants, again
balmy wolf
Overwatch with no RNG spread? What is this? This isn't CSGO - Jeph
balmy wolf
what the fuck is up with Overwatch and its tendency to make every spread RNG anyway? It drive me up the wall to try to practice spread control
toxic yacht
well, you can kill the defensive sombra and then use the window without EMP to engage
balmy wolf
@clever portal she is an assassin. Not a "disruptor"
clever portal
Spread control
toxic yacht
but yeah, outside of that, killing her is kind of pointless
clever portal
It's literally tap fire
balmy wolf
76 does involves a good amount of spread control
not in spread pattern as in timing
but even then 76's spread is ๐ซ
wary falcon
mmm soldier-76 spray
wanton bronze
Macro 76
clever portal
Cod might have more aim control than Overwatch
toxic yacht
but yeah, blizzard probably uses RNG spread to force you to play characters in a specific range
clever portal
All overwatch has is shit projectiles
solid spear
The old 76 spread 
toxic yacht
since if it had a pattern/would always be the same
clever portal
Why Orisa
toxic yacht
you could theoretically do things from ranges where you really aren't supposed to
balmy wolf
Spread control with projectile
toxic yacht
randomness is still dum tho
balmy wolf
wait how are projectiles garbage
Spread control is unintuitive - somewhere in Team 4
that's the only explanation I have for the lack of spread pattern
solid spear
Idk they buffed Hogs spread maybe theyll hit Sombra up too
toxic yacht
they just don't want you to theoretically have good accuracy at all ranges
so they make sure to give you random spread so taht it just breaks at some point
randomness is stupid, but I understand why they're doing it
clever portal
The only good projectile is Genji
Every other one is so inconsistent you can't play them instead of a hitscan
wanton bronze
I dunno I think having to learn spread control in CSGO is a kinda shitty mechanic.
Zen projectile is pretty good
Imo
toxic yacht
how is pharah inconsistent?
wot
hanzo I understand
but someone like pharah definitely isn't inconsistent
balmy wolf
one thing I will say about Pharah's rocket is that it is actually huge for its size in the game.
Quake's rocket 
toxic yacht
yee, lul
balmy wolf
and fuck Hanzo's arrows
that fucking hitboxes piece of shit
There's nothing to distinguished a good Hanzo vs a bad Hanzo because both looks exactly the same
solid spear
Nah there's a pretty massive difference... you notice
balmy wolf
nah
I've seen my share of Hanzo who hits shots after shots
and then turned out to be a Plat or a Gold with barely any playtime on him in comp
and my only reaction was a tingling sense of rage
wintry matrix
that could be a lot of things (including smurfs)
but i do think it's different, like, the bad hanzo may kill you at most one or two times
maybe more if your team is getting rolled anyway

"I mean, it's not surprising, but what's more interesting is that just after this clip, he confirms that Kungarna has been picked up by a sponsor - not necessarily the Patriots - but that he can't say who it is since it hasn't been announced."

Ghost Gaming again? ๐ค
solid spear
they are in Contenders season 1
only 2 unsponsered teams in that
makes sense those would be the first teams orgs would look at tbh
well on the NA side at least
balmy wolf
FNRGFE might be pick up soon too
sponsor them now for Contenders S1
and hope they can get decent buyout for the roster when OWL hit
clever portal
xQc is right
Why scrim
Even in August its only contenders
They have 2 months of vacation
balmy wolf
like last year
everything froze during WC
doesn't mean though you cant at least scrim once a day to keep things sharp though
stream all you want, but you need to keep yourself sharp
clever portal
He's scrimming with team Canada
For the rest obviously they're doing nothing
More a fault of the game scene at large
solid spear
yeah I can see FNRG getting picked up soonish as well
if the rumors about OWL announcement tomorrow are true
lines up if Kungarna gets picked up by one of the non endemic teams soon

spending 10 mils for LoL and then another 15 mils for OW

TL has Golden State Warrior money, they can afford it.

spending 10 mils for LoL and then another 15 mils for OW
Messy salary is still bigger
vestal ermine
and don't forget that TL also has a DOTA team (That got invited to the International), and a CS:GO team (that just qualified for Majors)

LW red released

Its reasonable if future league will be Franchised

I think KR was now stable till this season

There's more chance for other org to join
toxic yacht
LH and LW Blue are practically sister teams anyway, lul
it's not like they'll be losing anything
clever portal
Assuming you have money, both can be treated equally
rapid oxide
โ
toxic yacht
also, taimou will play contenders S1
solid spear
yeah
rapid oxide
Damn
solid spear
he said hed be back in a couple weeks
vestal ermine
by the way, Bliz/Actavision wants teams to pay for cities if they want to play in the franchised Call of Duty league. Even if you already own a Overwatch city, you still need to buy that same city again
rapid oxide
I have ho hear his shitty BabyRage complaint
solid spear
well they arent different leagues even if theyre both under Act.
so itd make sense that buying an OW spot doesnt get you a COD spot
vestal ermine
I'm sure the Immortals will be thrilled to buy Los Angeles twice
solid spear
its not a buy 1 get 1 free deal
limber pine
get out of here with that logic
vestal ermine
And now announcing the Los Angeles Echo Fox! Call of Duty fans rejoice! meanwhile Immortals get salty.
solid spear
I mean its a different game
vestal ermine
a lot
limber pine
but others?
clever portal
Some orgs are in both
solid spear
yeah a lot of orgs actually SG
limber pine
They'd probably talk to the about the same city, but yeah, no reason they'd get into one just cuz they're in the other
solid spear
yeah even the orgs wouldnt expect to be handed spots for other games for free
vestal ermine
Even a smaller org like Echo Fox, has a League Team, a Call of Duty team, a Gears of War team, a H1Z1 team, Street Figher players, Smash Bros Players, Mortal Kombat/Injustice players, a Tekken Player, a Vainglory team, They used to have a CS:GO Team but they just have one guy left over from that.
solid spear
most of the more notable orgs nowadays have multiple teams and some fgc players
clever portal
It's different companies handling it as well
pliant stirrup
Whats the most popular team?
pliant stirrup
Yea, i would say NRG if seagul still played
clever portal
NRG will be back soon
solid spear
might still be NRG if they come back and theyre decent
clever portal
They have allegedly bought into the Overwatch League
pliant stirrup
Oh! I never knew that
clever portal
Popular is not best though
solid spear
Well he/she asked popular
clever portal
Yeah, LH does get the most twitch views
pliant stirrup
Ok thanks for your opinions!!
clever portal
If you want to see any esports, overwatch world cup is this week
pliant stirrup
On twitch?
pliant stirrup
Thanks!
solid spear
they did say they still had interest in the scene even though East Wind disbanded
picking up Kungarna could make sense for them

Whoru is going to NV, Taimout is going to Lunatic Hai
supple nymph
what do you think the reaction will be if the news is just, "owl test season december"
balmy wolf
People will probably throw around Contenders as if it is indicative of the level of production in OWL
Everyone got their rose tinted goggles for OMM
supple nymph
do we know if Carbon is doing OWL
or do they need a production company in each city?
i guess we dont know anything
wintry matrix
i don't think so, carbon is small company right?
supple nymph
i thought they might take carbon and build them into their production company
rather than uhh do contenders then start from scratch again?
wintry matrix
i'd assume they pick other medium-level stuff
maybe bliss is planning some tourneys in the future
i hope the next contender qualifiers will be the same as the first one, it was quite fun seeing perspectives ranging from plats to pros
also great memes like TLMO fat shatter
balmy wolf
Carbon is a small company
but they are getting big Blizz bucks for their production and shit
and honestly they are pretty fucking good for the size of their company
wintry matrix
must be those left guys skills
balmy wolf
Is the next contenders gonna have any qualifier tho?
balmy wolf
xd
clever portal
The teams who made playoffs in S0 are the ones who are in s1
clever portal
No, S1 is 8 teams
I think s1 and 2 of open division have no qualifying
After that it might allow qualifying to contenders
According to Noukky they don't know which season to allow more teams on
wintry matrix
aw
clever portal
Imo as long as OWL isn't there, it should be 16

You would think the recent Beat Invitational would have shown them everything wrong with tournaments like that
NA audio, stream dying
Global chat in game
I agree it had a better feel to it
But such a tournament should never have been a 'major'
balmy wolf
people are taking out their frustration on OW Contenders and anything that has Blizzard's hands on it
meanwhile BEAT Invitational with OMM has shit loads of NA production moments
but it got a pass because you know, it is "grass roots"
solid spear
I get that it was they were terrible NA produced tournaments
but they were OUR terrible NA produced tournaments

This sr shit needs to stop
The one tricks gaining too much is a problem, sure
But I've seen some people in competitivediscussion claim its a problem in plat
Or diamond, and that one tricks are ruining the game by boosting
supple nymph
why wouldn't it be a problem at plat or diamond?
wintry matrix
i know OMM had shitty production, but i still liked
