i love SK story and players
Borderlands co-op

Rocket League

Rip
47playing an hour ago 55 24-hour peak
@toxic yacht Danteh
the other day someone argued with me that NA isn't a shit region for esport. His example? Rocket League/Halo/Cod/Smash
how is NA in fighting games?
it's still in beta iirc
tbh it dont look bad but its probably one of those games i'd be bored to play after a day
Winz tagging along with the
boyz for Quake Con
I wonder if they will be 2 game team
they will probably be
but with ๐ฆ looming it is probably just a temporarily thing
Well there's no tournaments coming up that soon
for liquid
so they can probably just scrim QC
easy win
their last showing with azk was pretty poor because they didnt practice at all
whereas the other team with other quake legends did practice
they have exactly a month until the start of Contenders, so they can spare some time to play
probably back to OW about 2 weeks before it commerce though
@rapid oxide
Time to see my boy Baud eat some bananas
rapha was doing pretty good on Liquid wasn't he? that's sad
They're not moving to Quake
they're playing in the tournament
ID could very well be staying to play Quake for liquid
but we dont know yet
rapha will go quake
why
click on the face
rip liquid
Who the hell can they get to replace him
inb4 winz leaves rogue because he's triggered by being stuck on lucio
ngl, i dont think anyone would be as good as him on lucio with his calls
at least available players
:(
so which Lucio is currently FAs at the moment?
Phaz?
Ajax is not a shotcaller so he is out
Vonethil, maybe?
maybe the Cyclown?
nah Numlocked shotcall for NRG
That was mostly Seagull
Crusade is with LK
They could get Zave from Misfits
oh, forgot it
They have the money
maybe Hulk finally will have his chance to kill everyone now
lucio + coach
@supple nymph and then later Numlocked/Harb take over the shotcalling slot
before he left??
yes.
ok 
it was during the train crash period.
Luddee, Grego are also FAs
grego stopped trialing with NRG?
Zave, PsychoWaffle as well
@wintry matrix weeks ago
he still has LFT tag on The O.W
Dhak
was he that shotcalled on selfless?
Him and Emongg
they can always get Minstrel back
but he probably prefers to do farming more
so I guess Rapha now represents
in Quake Champions
always good to get some headstart, I guess
if he won duel in Quake Con though that'd be 100K to his pocket
more than what he has ever earned in Liquid
and equivalent of an OW major whole prize pot ๐
well what he said at the end of that long quote made it seem like he isn't staying with liquid
He will represents
for this Quake Con at least
after that, who knows
He also didn't like playing Lucio like most people
well he has some health stuff rn idk
Hulk is in KR to visit his GF
but you never know if he is also trying to scout for a potential shotcaller too
Nice
12 hours until rogue player emotes
i mean, you have to wonder if a KR shotcaller would work in a na team
also, for those who complain that EU gets shafted in tournament schedule, here the matches will start at 3 am, fuc
it is going to depends on their English ability
but it is not out of the realms of possibility
theyll probably end up getting Phaz or Dhak or some NA Lucio
anedoctal, but i'd say people like bishop are extremely rare
B1shop isn't even a Korean outright, considering he spent a large amount of time in Canada
so he is more of an anomaly
@supple nymph I can probably tell you outright that the org is just piggybacking OWL
it is not an OWL team
kaiser spent alot of time in canada too
the fact that they are "sponsored" by Meta Thread and Twitch is a dead giveaway to me
god i hope not
they are not an OWL team
trust me, an OWL-capable org wouldn't try to get Meta Thread and Twitch to be their sponsors
pro Open Division team
is Pittsburgh even one of the cities in the OWL?
no
@limber pine did you mess with the HTML there my man?
wut
it's their instagram twitter
they have a seperate twitter for their FB, Instagram, and other pittsburg knights social media sites
those are following the main one
Alicus follows them
apparently
i'm mighty curious to why the other twitter has an I in Pitt rather than an I
and also, some fucking money behind them to be able to get Echo Fox-tier roster

their reddit is invite only 
๐ข
Not yet
Man, doing this big data course makes me appreciate so much what Captain Planet does
Excited to be on the podcast with @ggHarsha @PestoEnthusiast @CaptainPlanetOW and our HC @dongOokz
Come join in on the fun at 6pm PST! ๐
this ATW is a must-listen
who's the guy? owl spot owner?
coach along with
manager
today?
"I have die, Rez on point"
what a stupid ult
@blazing parrot GM Mrecy LUL
Yep, had no idea he was EV's coach, which makes me wonder how long the team is going to stay at this point
Always the fringe games (OW, Dota) that have the most mentally ill fans who think we don't focus on them cos they "drove us out"

it is his personality
talks too much shit
i just watch his youtube vids
twitter is just him ranting and stuff which i dont mind
but youtube content is good
pleas no
No plz no
NO
Probably the most rage worthy gamemode
NO NO NO NON NO
eh, wouldn't matter
Holy shit why would anyone suggest such a thing 
it would probably be the same mode with SR
mfw i cant post my fantasy team ideas without triggering half of r/cow 
@supple nymph I'll listen to your ideas
thanks sg
MFW I don't know any of your Reddit names

good

" Now to the main issue: roadhog was punishing bad positioning with bad positioning, but his is magnitudes harder to punish, and more often than not he will survive it. THAT was the issue with roadhog, and blizzard went about 'fixing' him the wrong way. The issue with him isn't his 1-shot combo, but his high chance of survival when he goes out of his way to enforce it."
thefuck
I mean
i wonder how a squishie road would work
Oh wow Zunba's Youtube also does English subs
That's awesome
Only for shorter videos though it seems
Man they really fucked up Hog for no reason lol
I dont even what that character is gonna be anymore
Pin Cushion
R.I.P. NA Sleep
Yeah :/
6 pm for me ๐ did the math wrong yesterday and thought i would be 5 but doesnt matter
1Am? another Central 
QuakeCon 2017 will take place August 24โ27 at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center
Seems interesting
https://twitter.com/rogue_winz/status/884986222610927623 The truth behind winz's twitter is he refuse to cooperate with local media ,and he...
๐ฅ ๐ฅ ๐ฅ
Oh, like the entrance scene they asked them to do in 2016?
don't know
all of the players has to do an emote I think
as much as I'd want to see Soon doing the Charleston dance
let's not force people into doing things that they don't want to
wonder if that's just a china thing or all wc venues are doing it
What channel for the Shanghai group stage
playoverwatch
K
gotta add that shit to the top
Guys let's push PTR patch to live for World Cup! Oh and don't forget that new Roadhog patch we thought up. Don't test it, just push it
Horizon is in the map pool
Unfortunately
oh wow didnt know that
Anything but Oasis or Gibraltar plz
should be exciting
Yup
i dont like playing on horizon personally
but havent seen good people playing on it yet so it could be better to watch
I feel like Horizon might bring out some really weird picks and stategies
I hate the map but if weve gotta watch 2cp at least its something new I guess
I feel like snipers get some really nice angles, Reaper will be good on B attack, and Pharah seems to have alot of room to work with in some areas. Not to forget that a deadeye above B could be devastating. Though, I doubt we'll see Mccree.
We got a little mccree during BEAT
OW Best Blizz esport soon i guess
I don't know how ppl watch hearthstone
i dont even get league of legends personally
League is hype
only reason i got into cs was becasue it was super easy to understand
i didnt even play the game
I watch it and have literally never played the damn game lol
We got very little McCree in beat 
i tried watching league a few times but cant understand it
@pine star thats me i
I watch League but I dont even play
After this next patch goes through, I think deathball may return to some extent with Mccree
that graph is weird though like cs wouldnt be that high this week because of no big tournaments
Pooped off
๐

I see you

Must be brown and smelly
๐

I truly dont know why they even made another 2cp map knowing damn well everyone hates them
Honestly, I like to fight in the room before B, it's a pretty cool shooting gallery
2CP is balanced and it is my favorite gamemode - Jeph
The hydroponics corridor between A and B?
playing it in QP is also just frustrating too
Yep
I'm not surprised if they take BEAT finals Volskaya as an ammo
"It's balanced! Look at Immortals vs Rogue"
I kinda enjoy watching 2cp ๐
you didn't watch Unkoee brutalize
then @pine star
Seija that would mean theyd have to admit to watching Unkoe get emp every 12 seconds
So no
I'm a Hanzo one trick for days now on QP
It's alright guys, pickrate is balanced in QP. Except maybe Roadhog
๐ข
No one plays this him anymore its actually crazy
He'll see picks later if we change his looks and name. I guarantee you
Like even in qp you see a bunch of hanzo, junk shitters you legit never see Hogs
Attackers highground on B Horizont is perhaps biggest advantage in the whole game
I don't like the idea of making Hog more "tanky"
"Pssst, let's push the new 'survivabillity' buff quick. Change his appearance and his name too, nobody would notice"
i like idea when Hog has increased damage and decreased clip size
Hogs just bad not even like the fun kind of bad just bad
It was fucking fun having an actual one man apocalypse
Like the character isnt fun to play anymore
@wary falcon Hmm, that sounds familiar
Nah Bastion sucks
Come on Gank
Oreo pls
Agreed
the amount of people i have been facing with bastion rein orisa dva on route 66 attack is just insane
mind you, Roadhog is the only tank that is totally all about offense. Which make him unique. And now he is just a fucking FAT DPS BECAUSE THE FUCKING PLEBS LIKE YOUROVERWATCH MEMED HIM INTO A FAT DPS
Sulli I actually hate this character rn
Honestly, I hate his new fire rate, old hog had a nice rhythm, now you just hold M1
Hog was one man army, Bastion had unique turret ability
Basically the first picture: the rogue team didn't bring their ID/passport to the competition venue and the police stopped them. They then refused to cooperate with the ppl there and behave rudely to the police as well.
He goes on to say: if not for the blizzard people, they would have been taken away by the police/something along those lines
This is just a rough translation; might not be completely accurate
Edit: Second image also talks about how they were annoyed about having to take photos and brought his Macdonalds and sprite into the venue haha
The guy says: why is it that other countries teams are able to follow instructions but France team cannot. do these guys think because they won takeover and participated in apex that they are now gods? (something like that)
And Blizzard nerfed them into inferior dps
Bastion is literally nerfed Soldier-76 with huge hitbox
76 without the 8 seconds rocket to help him burst people down
Huge hitbox, no mobility
Remember the communities reaction to 35 Ironclad? The salt was glorious
REmember the gif where Bastion survived Dragon strike with only his own healing
there's something to be said about Blizzard trying to make everyone into a generalist and renders hero pick/niche useless
We cant have Hog one shotting people
@balmy wolf thats my fear with hog, they just sucked the fun out of playing him
"muh diversity"
reworks hog into another bullet sponge tank
hammers down high level play niche picks through means of pandering casual "fun"
Zarya getting one shot by scatter is cool though
Torb is actually generalist enough. He has decent firepower and and utility. Just lack movement ability and a stupid hurtbox.
of course, movement is a huge part of the game
so he got fucked there
Not after they changed the distance
As a gameruiner who made into 4200 as torb main
After 2.1
his turret is 50% of hero
@clever wagon or like that idiot who claims that OW tanks are tanks is because they has defensive ability 
We've decided to halve Torb turret damage and rework him to be an objectively inferior 76
I read big post on russian forum where author claimed OW = cartoonish World of Tanks
and he was serious
Somebody said on r/compow that Geoff Goodman also ruined HOTS
before they got better
so I have to wonder how far he will ruin OW at this rate
@limber pine any OW World Cup sticky thread for r/OW?
til r/cow has au and kr mods
@forest raven
AU ow 
ahh misread
I'm not a subreddit mod
ik, lolz

is there supposed to be a stream of the first matches today or something?
finding consistent info about the league stuff is so hard lol
am I just bad at searching or is there no actual times for when the matches start?
just talk about teams i guess
https://www.twitch.tv/playoverwatch/events you can get notifications here too
i think
oh nice
2 hours pretty much
seeing actual times now
So, what kind of prod. value are we getting?
Last year's was decent
something to the level of last year, and it is in the same venue as OW Premier Series
It can only get better I guess
Here's your talent
inb4 fanboys complaining about Contenders production being shite and OMM cameraworks were better
no beautiful tracking 
Isn't beautiful tracking Wolf's?
i think is someone else
Atlus?
can't remember
It's either Wolf or Atlus lol

i really hope Left Guy appears as a surprise to announce the finals
he's not on the card
Moon, S4 and Sinatraa still up
gotta steal the viewers
i still can hope :monkas:
Argentina 
beat China in scrims 
Scrims 
I mean I don't intend to do calling outs or anything
But technically at least 2 out of those 3 are primarily still OW pro and/or streamers
i do wonder how much exactly will be considered a good number
considering it's late, unpopular countries
It's still climbing, hopefully. 5k now
only the qualifiers
damn the supports having the plays is out there
Yeah I'm seeing a decent 100+/sec

Is that "We Move Together as One" at half speed?

western grills
Wait this is Lucio music isn't it?
Production WutFace
8 am bois
it is somewhat familiar the music
Morning 
1AM, looks like replays for me
He has lag so he couldn't make it 
Monte's kinda smol ain't he
8k viewers
He's a midget
I'll be optimistic this time BlessRNG
nice map preview
8k now, but it was 3k 10 minutes ago
also the window taskbar at the bottom lol
look at that windows 10
Guys
CALLED IT, OMM PRODUCTION
You can see
WutFace
lol rip
tho i guess it gives a nice "live" feel
Fucking massacre
it's nice hearing the crowd
It doesn't say in the settings but this feels like higher FPS albeit a bit stuttery than APEX
OMM production was the best 
Right, PapaSmithy's casting is also very much welcome for me
we 10k now
Wasn't it not terribly long ago that Winston wasn't a competitive pick?
a bit long ago
It's relatively long ago
6 months ago lolz
Coming into 2017 dive comps have started seeing a rise
30fps 
Also yeah, literally 6 months ago
LH also ran didn't they?
LH were among the first to run the basic dive I think
LH ran triple and quad tank more often than not
In 2016
Yeah, triple tank was the meta I remember.
Basic dives were ran right after release
also, the only stayed on china point of view?
They've existed for a pretty long time
did they ever showed Romania pov?
They switched a bit
dive has been a thing for like this games entire existence
oh, ok
its not new at all
They showed Soldier on defense at the end,
CN production 
Ya, what oreo said
There were probably more switches.

Sombra defense? ๐ค
Why
Hmm, let's see how this goes.
Contenders production was trash 
Sombra's pretty meta now
Sombra already has a decent pickrate to be considered meta in the pro scene
Inb4 monte disconnects
S T U F F E D
that dive though 
China 
only 20 to emp 
China is just rolling
Meza 
Oh shit Romania
WHOA
PULLING THROUGH?
That worked
Whoaaa
SHADDER'S SON
Props to Romania
better than Shadder
#1 v #32 SR average boys
lmao
china sr was boosted anyway
SR isnt too important for the sake of this tourney
they just needed some way to rank them objectively
What was that ult FailFish
this CN audio is fucking killing me
That felt really soloq
BEAUTIFUL
People have forgotten how to play vs ana
Feedinggg
lol
Looks grim
The reality looks grim
China so dominant
Pls
what a wipe
2 Anas 
you okai there romania?
Emka's self destruct felt really soloq comp
die with 99% ult up
i don't think i ever saw a Sombra defense on second
So france and china from a and b?
you see it occasionally
GG
13k viewers now
its worst time to possibily have the stream
no APEX LAN server 
i mean, it's live in China so
also this CN production 
wait, it isn't a tournament realm?
Good for Asia and probably Australia + NZ, garbage for everyone else
last year had that i think
@wintry matrix it is a maybe actually
It probably has it
This is excellent time for AU
the CN audio is killing me though
the microphone keep picking up the fucking environment noise
how's spectating?
i actually like the enviroment noise
gives that live feel when the crowd chimes in
I think it's not terrible
30 fps spectating
Better quality would probably require a studio mic or better
i'd like to think that all the budget went into picking soe so monte and doa has to cast standing up
It's super hype sometimes, like with zunba's eichenwalde grav
Or when seagull did literally anything
Yeah the only thing I dislike are the 30fps
I mean some crowd noise is fine, but not this much
Seems like a small room
Seagull reloads
Crowd:

Im used to this fps 
and the mic/headphone that Monte/Doa are using is industry standard
so idk what's up with this production
Oreo lul
We're all Zenyatta now
Sombra has gotten close to ult already
what a throw
idkkk
NA EMP
THROWING
Win Moreโข
nigga went full Arhan and emp'd the air
if this aint a 4-0 i'll eat my hat
tbh EMP is kinda on cooldown anyway 
Man these ults
lol that pulse bomb
Cucubao!
1 hit on Zen "better throw this out to make sure"
The enemy team breathes air.
EMP the air.
They breathe in the EMP for rest of the match.
lol miza
Doomfist in OWC? ๐ค
Sombra is building the emp very slow
That pulse bomb on a 1 hit Zen felt like the reflex you get from copying pros
I know because it happens in lower ranks
if they don't run like apex (one patch for the tournament) then it's possible
WTF
wow where dafuq is that genji standing
hacking an emp'd Winston 
this is worse then NA ults
this is botting at its finest
only Lucio and Monkey were in that emp
LOL
afk
lul
when she uses that long to build the emp, throwing it on a monkey they wouldent be able to kill anyways, it was really bad
i wonder if that it's the result of not scrimming or really just not giving a fuck
this aint unkoe 
TRIPLE TANK?
Triple tank?
Are those...
what?
Quad!
Tanks?
WAT
WATTTT
Lmao
actually quad
lol fucking sound barrier
quad tank why we throwing 
Is...is that a pro Genji??
i dont think romania got the memo that quad tank is not meta
Nano Rein
Hog in 2K17
but pls win
Monte doesnt like Ana in quad tank
WIN
WHAT YEAR IS IT
nano rein
Reinforce?
Fragi
Meza LUL
Romania LUL
Well, fragi doesn't miss his shatters like this
Eileen pro genji
Fragi only ulting shield 
CN Agilities 
I know the internet is bad in Romania but i dident think it had 1 year lag 
Romania really wants to go home eh
Roadhog alone is a complete throw
OMG
Reminder that genji builds up ult like he's sombra vs triple and quad tank
That Winston ult charge rate tickling all those tanks
They keep doing the same fucking thing round after round
i actually think they had some success with the quad, but with romania throwing so hard we can't know
๐ท๐ด throwing so fucking hard now
i dont think Romania will be able to take a single map
Good guys Romania, helping the matches go as fast as possible
RO 
China is too good
Someone fix the chrono accelerator for Romania
Winston ult builds fast af even without 4 tanks lul
it's over already?
They are so 2016
#1 seed for a reason
da cleave
china numba wan
Yeah but he was tickling all 6
No, 4 sets in the match
#1 vs #32 seed
They were a deathball
Control is the second set out of 4
๐ฏ ๐ท๐ด ๐ฏ
there was a victory box near the scores
LOL
must be OMM production
BO5
Best of 5 LUL
instead of BO3
LOL
It's competitive settings, Bo5
I have two questions, is this the first match in the Overwatch World Cup and when is the next match start after China wins?
CHINA PRODUCTION
DoA 
FUCKING HELL
China PRODUCTION
BO5 LUL
that makes me really happy
...
Yes, first match
NA production coming to China
Is this for fucking real?
??????????????
WTF
lmfao
LOL
the only thing's missing is disconnects
what

Huh
WAT
Bo3 after all
wait what just happened
OW esports are great
THEY FORFEIT THAT MATCH?
:WaitWhat:
lol the burn
inb4 stream dies
China Production
OMM Production was better 
Overwatch is fairly fresh to professional esports, not terribly surprised.
@quasi python it is BO3 but they mistakenly put it BO5
@umbral abyss first match, I'm assuming right after this one
wasn't a four match set?
Throwmania
Koth
He meant koth
Wait
Koth was supposed to be bo3
2CP next 
oh, got it
So is KoTH BO3 or BO5?
But it was bo5
Assault next?
It was set to BO5
yep
Probably they set the preset to competitive
I think Payload is last
Hybrid, Control, Assault, Payload
So that's on the admin
don't worry guys, bliss is intentionally doing these things to quench a bit of how much we miss OMM
I'm only here for Rogue 
btw this announcer guy is really lacks energy
bigger than the NFL
3rd match, right?
yep

Just because vace is Italian smh
@balmy wolf is that a pasta? Cuz it should be lmao
Wait really? I have no idea
just because Im black you think Ill get shot 
@pine star sadly no lol
We should make it a pasta 
As the American McCree says, Genji might be fast, but not faster than a bullet
How do you compare to Genji @solid spear
unless genji presses E
