Lol
But yeah someone it some discord idr compared idd to like grim and how he may need more space for his style of tracer and how grim has looked so much better since Kariv and Fate have come and I think Idd is probably a better player than Grim on a good team
Only thing is he actually plays a pretty defensive, somewhat passive 76

Meta Athena drama update.
- libero officially took six weeks off with a wrist injury.
- Nus's discord name changed "FA NUS" in korean.
- except changsik and hoon, each players twitter profile is removed prefix meta
- it looks like they gave up Nexus Cup which start in 17th, if rumor is correct, NC Foxes play it instead.
- A few hours ago, saya's friend asked him if he will transfer into abroad team. he said "no".
- changsik posted this.
There are still discussions going on between coach and players, and we don't have determined information yet, so nothing to announce at this time. Maybe somewhat it seems to outline on the 18th.
This is a separate another issue from Belium and it is my sole responsibility to write this.
I apologize for the wait.

- according to Meta's recruitment announcement, they need 3 players who can play role of saya, libero, nus's

Talking like CSGO is the most balanced game lol
wintry matrix
how's balance in CSGO anyway? i've heard of AWP being too op, but some said it's just a noob gatekeeper weapon
rapid oxide
Negev is a meme weapon for having one of the most stupid mechanics i ever seen in a game, secondaries hs more than rifles, secondaries accurate when moving (while csgo became famous for 'standing still' shooting) AWP is too op but people circlejerk about 'ye but if you
Mis you die' like every fucking weapon?
Not even the railgun on Quake one shot one kill (unless your HP is low)
Same weapon used over and over, variations are pretty much shit (R8, CZ)
You know what's fun? Sniper in COD or in other cs ripoff that one shot one kill are bs, but on CSGO? Nah, CSGO is the pinnacle of FPS balance /s
CS could be good but Valve is way more shit than Blizzard tbh
We get fix, maybe not as fast as we wish, but heh... On Valve you have to wait years
wintry matrix
i'd thought that the "CS" formula was "perfected" or "finished" since it seems pretty similar to 1.6
rapid oxide
It has nothing from 1.6

no one uses the negev cause people raelised that it isnt as good as people thought after it got updated, pistols are stupid i ageee.. pistol can 1 bullet hs but a rifle cant ๐ , awp is fine on higher ranks i guess people mostly use it on ct sides cause its easy to hold an angle and click but on t side its difficult to use
wary falcon
cs balance is close to perfect
not because of weapons
but due to mix of map design, weapons, nades and economy
if compare 1.6 to GO
in 1.6 awp was stupidly OP

as you can see when HK 76 ult straight to zen, HK tracer keeps in the back to harrash zen
@balmy wolf what do you think, is ml7 not doing well, or his team not protecting him enough?
clever wagon
If HK's Tracer and S76 are so free to harrass Romania's backline then the biggest problem is clearly not them being so overpowered or oppressive
sturdy granite
How does World cup count map ties, like contenders?
balmy wolf
at one point he literally sat on the DM and then get helix rocket'd so a combination of both?
peeling for Zen is hard fucking work
@sturdy granite yes
this is largely just exhibition
and subreddit wanking material
balmy wolf
it will have a BO3 Oasis only for elimination match
but for the most part yes. It is exactly the Contenders (and soon to be OWL) format
molten pewter
i hope romania change strat, so there is a bit of momentum for them

So um, when exactly does the overwatch world cup start?

Aside from some of Banana's decisions, the technicals aren't that bad

@clever wagon Definitely looks a step up from yesterdays hiccups

Thanks yuyuli haha
crisp rover
they need to stop trolling with that "coming up next". Half the time it's up, they mean they're gonna talk about the game.
weary fossil
there are constantly fps drops in the recording but not in the playback and the overall encoding quality has much to desire, so the issue in youtube/mlg/twitch
can't escape the shit quality
clever wagon
Oh damn, English

Little do we know Blizzard is paying all the teams to pick Horizon no matter what happens for the 2CP map

South Korea gonna own again this year?

No chance

They're probably still strong but this year every country is finally actually sending their best and actually considering roster compositions

is that overwatch logo on the stage in the middle of the teams a light reflection from the top? or did they just loose the yellow orangey

Is tviq actually better then idd?
balmy wolf
Tviq qualified for Contenders so yes
rapid oxide
Tvi1 dropped a lot tbh
feral solar
i made a bad decision by going to gen discussion
wary falcon
I think tviq is better than iddqd
crisp rover
People would take it a lot more seriously if ๐ค.

I don't watch Tviq's game play so yeah
wary falcon
alternate id
rapid oxide
Esca is better than everyone
wary falcon
miss esca lul in twitch chat
balmy wolf
the problem of IDDQD is that a. his last time that he shined on pro stage was in OW Open and that was nearly a year ago
rapid oxide
clever wagon
And then come NRG
balmy wolf
and b. he has been mired in the blackhole for god know how long
fans literally has been keeping him up by stomping idiots on stream. Basically the Seagull method of pretending to be relevant
round cargo
In what esport team is tviq?
rapid oxide
Love you reign
balmy wolf
my reaction when signed IDDQD was a confusing tilt. IDDQD is even known as somewhat of a toxic individual who is a ticking bomb
round cargo
Who played in old rogue lol
round cargo
That's pretty amazing
sturdy granite
And then everything changed with a 3 way trade
round cargo
They should get tviq back
clever wagon
Who, Rogue?
sturdy granite
I think they're fine as is
round cargo
Yh
balmy wolf
they won 3 OMM and a LAN with a new line up, so probably not
clever wagon
One of the reasons the 3 way trade happened was because they want Rogue to be all French
wary falcon
tviq is better than soon
clever wagon
Doubt they will ever take TviQ back
wary falcon
but language barrier
round cargo
They're a great team but soon is overrated
wary falcon
in what world soon is overrated?
sturdy granite
Boi
wary falcon
he was before Apex
round cargo
He has amazing moments obviously
balmy wolf
Soon got outplayed by Esca one match, so he is overrated 
rapid oxide
Esca is underrated
balmy wolf
Esca is inconsistent
sturdy granite
He's looked better recently
balmy wolf
he is underrated, but i would not bet on him as a world class DPS
wary falcon
Esca is consistently good with failed pulse bombs
he is not even best tracer on his team
round cargo
Yeah
rapid oxide
Not a world class maybe but he's really good imo
clever wagon
Rogue is overrated, they got battered and bludgeoned by Korea's top teams in the group phase of APEX S3. You should envy EnVyUs for getting basically the same group they got in S2
rapid oxide
And can carry when consistent
round cargo
Soon is a great player, don't get me wrong. He's amazing with tracer, he's just a bit overrated IMO
sturdy granite
still better than ML7 EMPs
balmy wolf
got beat by the eventual finalists in 
and 
, but they are trash
wary falcon
Rogue is totally fine, they lose badly against TOP koreans because of time in America
scrimming against NA teams made them weak especially in ult management
rapid oxide
Because lack of flexibility
wary falcon
and Rogue better than EnvyUs
balmy wolf
Rogue would get to top 4 if they has EnvyUs' spot
clever wagon
Lack of flexibility, but weirdly enough to this day nobody ever actually beat them aside from Korean's top teams
sturdy granite
idk bout that
clever wagon
That says a lot
rapid oxide
toxic yacht
You know, if you're a dps whose pool doesn't overlap with tviq's, I'd wonder wtf that guy even plays
wary falcon
Also about "lack of flexibility"
toxic yacht
tbh
wary falcon
do nV has flexibility?
balmy wolf
Everyone talked about Rogue's lack of flexibility and everyone and their mom is running the same fucking formation
is there even a point of being flexible this meta?
round cargo
I still don't get why Korean teams dominate everyone
wary falcon
in fact Rogue is more flexible than nV because of Taimou hero pool
round cargo
What is it about that country that they're so good
clever wagon
NV have somewhat a bigger pool they've brought out in various matches but that says nothing about how it gels consistently to actually bring them far
rapid oxide
rapid oxide
I disagree with too much people, i give up xD
wary falcon
and this is dive meta
sturdy granite
You can tell who are Romania fans in the audience, lol
balmy wolf
nV beat the world beaters in X6, Meta Athena, BK Stars and RGW, but somehow they are top 4 material
balmy wolf
not yet

Wut
round cargo
I wanna see Finland vs Sweden
clever wagon
@round cargo again, put it this way: nobody in this world that has faced Rogue actually ever beat them, even with a close win, other than Korean's top teams
It's pretty easy to put two and two together

I said "actually beat them", not fighting them close only to lose 3-4
