[keen falcon]

that deflect

holy shit

[vestal mortar]

[balmy wolf]

should have use Sombra from the beginning

[toxic yacht]

yup

[smoky hinge]

China holy fuck

[toxic yacht]

oputo kinda throws whenever he doesn't play her

[balmy wolf]

like I said, slowly turning into a Sombra one trick

not getting the EMP onto Zen

THAILAND

[toxic yacht]

rip

[balmy wolf]

COME ON

[feral solar]

lol

[toxic yacht]

[balmy wolf]

[wise mural]

[vestal mortar]

Rip in Mickie

[wise mural]

Eileen was a god tho

[smoky hinge]

15-0

jesus

[vestal mortar]

I'm excited to see China at Blizzcon, they've been looking real strong

[wise mural]

I'm super duper hyped to see the 2017 Korean team

[smoky hinge]

Thailand did well

[keen falcon]

^

[wise mural]

Thailand probably did the best against china so far

[smoky hinge]

Yeah

[balmy wolf]

if anything only the Thailand win was convincing

stomping Romania and Hong Kong didn't say much

even with Norway as well

[sly igloo]

🇨🇳

[balmy wolf]

Oputo though

[smoky hinge]

Romania and Argentina

[balmy wolf]

Argentina didn't do that bad all things considering

just that their coordination and gameplan is extremely lackluster

it was basically the Klaus show

[clever portal]

I'm sure Norway will do better than thailand

[balmy wolf]

given how Rogue is playing, Soon and AKM better put on their carry pants

and end this quickly

[toxic yacht]

yup

I got shit to do irl

just 3-0 them quickly

[clever portal]

Shit to do?

Watch major?

[toxic yacht]

no, clean stuff

don't watch cs

never managed to get into it

[balmy wolf]

Fnatic 11 - 8 Flipside

[red anvil]

I cant watch CS

just zzz

[balmy wolf]

Flipside and their semi annual major qualifier

and then flunk out again

[unreal whale]

who won, i was away

[balmy wolf]

China

[clever portal]

3-0

[unreal whale]

unexpected

[clever portal]

China's dps were just better

Wonder if there's any Thai talent fire ball can pick from

[sly igloo]

@toxic yacht https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/6nlsly/why_do_the_pros_in_the_world_cup_visor_even/

[toxic yacht]

lmao

[balmy wolf]

<= fan boy

@toxic yacht that shit got so out of hand now that even r/compow notice it

[toxic yacht]

yup

I was losing my mind at takeover 2

but this is just getting ridiculous now

at least not everyone ran dva back then, mostly xepher

so you wouldn't notice it as much as now

I used to think the same thing, then I realized that they just waste an ult and never capitalize on the distracted dva

[balmy wolf]

[toxic yacht]

I wonder how tac visoring and using it as a bait for dva -> pulse bombing the dva when she's distracted would work

[balmy wolf]

you wasted 2 ults for just the purpose of demech tho

better to pulse bombing the D.va to open the visor

[toxic yacht]

I mean, it'd massively depend on how quickly you demech her and how what you could do in the remaning time, but yea, more often than not you'd just waste 2 ults

[balmy wolf]

Soe doing her best Rogue mom impression

god forbid someone coming in with different expectations

lolz

Best beard in Overwatch and not Fragi?

yes.

inb4 Norway pulling out the Sombra

[wise mural]

didn't they say they just didn't like her at all?

[balmy wolf]

Numbani first? Whah?

[toxic yacht]

WOT

NUMBANI

[balmy wolf]

who got the map pick? 🤔

[toxic yacht]

rogue

rogue has the first seed, so they probably got the map pick

[balmy wolf]

STREAM DIED

[unreal whale]

rogue and reu have historically been pretty good on this map

[unreal whale]

CN FUCKING PRODUCTION STRIKE AGAIN

[toxic yacht]

huh, am I just that far behind?

it's still alive with me

just lagging

ded

NA production in China

[balmy wolf]

putting the NA in CHINA

[wise mural]

https://www.twitch.tv/overwatchfr

french stream is still up

nvm

its just the casters filling

[clever portal]

LUL

[toxic yacht]

can't spell china without NA

you're right

¯_(ツ)_/¯

well, this match is how I expected the france games to go

lol

SoOn pls

[balmy wolf]

I mean it seems more decisive than the other matchs

[toxic yacht]

ya, I was expecting everything to be this decisive

was surprised by the closeness

[unreal whale]

the sym emote hahaha

[balmy wolf]

Onigod is like "this is how T1 plays, huh"

[toxic yacht]

lol

tfw he was on ReUnited or 4 seconds

[balmy wolf]

I can't remember for the life of me why he managed to play in Reunited in APEX S1

and then got kick

and Toronto eSport recruited him

and he basically spent his lifetime under the tier 3 hell up until Contenders

and even then they were getting fucked in a group that has luminary opposition such as , YGGP and

oh boy

[toxic yacht]

gg ez

[unreal whale]

that was fast

[feral solar]

lul

[toxic yacht]

was a nice match

F

[smoky hinge]

ez

[balmy wolf]

trying to beat 🇨🇳 speed running record

[toxic yacht]

now this is what I was expecting when I saw that rogue was france's team

[balmy wolf]

Winz needs to tweet more between maps

and lol Decod having 3 golds medal

"Where's my DPS???"

[unreal whale]

i like norway though

[balmy wolf]

I mean Onigod is getting some Chinese grills

can't hate a man for that

[naive plover]

lmao onigod

or lmao onigods fangirls*

[balmy wolf]

they want some Norwegian meats on their grill

[toxic yacht]

decod kill

[unreal whale]

that's the frogue I love

[balmy wolf]

where was the D.va when you need her

[toxic yacht]

lol, nico could play genji and they'd still destroy them

[balmy wolf]

i mean for Norway

[unreal whale]

that rocket holy shit

[balmy wolf]

oh wait they don't have one, no wonder why

[toxic yacht]

aKm

and his helix accuracy

[balmy wolf]

lol even in OW people are screaming for VAC

some ass with Dafran > AKM though

that tracking

[feral solar]

this is gonna be so fast

[balmy wolf]

Winz: "I want to get back to Lisa quick"

[unreal whale]

Decod is a big teddy bear

[toxic yacht]

aKm is not a human being, lul

I've came to that conclusion yesterday

he's actually an aimbot

[narrow sphinx]

so the aimbot is based on that guy?

[balmy wolf]

feels like a Russian joke

[unreal whale]

it's kind of boring

[toxic yacht]

aimbots use neural networks that analyze aKm's aim and try to emulate it

[balmy wolf]

lolz

[unreal whale]

I feel bad for norway

[narrow sphinx]

I havent seen the first map

It was like this?

[toxic yacht]

first map was an utter stomp

yes

[balmy wolf]

Thailand gave China a fight but this one is just a thorough thrashing

[narrow sphinx]

Holy crap so france is good at the end o.o

[toxic yacht]

omg they won a fight

[narrow sphinx]

WHy the french players i get as teammates are trash?

[unreal whale]

sounds like you haven't played with me then

[balmy wolf]

yay, first teamfight that Norway won

[feral solar]

do they really need the half time thing

can we not

[vestal mortar]

Unkoe

[toxic yacht]

you know

[swift shuttle]

i feel bad for norway

[toxic yacht]

just think of it

unkoe, aKm and tviq

are legit 3 of the best OW players

period

and they used to be on the same team

it's kinda ridiculous

[vestal mortar]

Old Rogue 😢

[narrow sphinx]

holy crap

[unreal whale]

Norway has Malefoy in their team

[narrow sphinx]

Normay being removed from existance by france

[balmy wolf]

it does kind of show how weak group A was

[toxic yacht]

yup

lol

[narrow sphinx]

Norway commits sudoku

[floral harness]

Just in time to watch VP against Vega Squadron at least, thank you Frogue

[toxic yacht]

norway stomped the group A teams

apart form china

and now they're getting stomped by rogue

[narrow sphinx]

there is a link of the groups there?

[red anvil]

[toxic yacht]

while rogue was somewhat struggling with group B teams

[balmy wolf]

so, which VP is going to show up? The throw or the plow?

[narrow sphinx]

I want to see if my country has chances

[toxic yacht]

spain?

[floral harness]

I hope to see the powerhouse, love those guys

[red anvil]

i do not approve of this

[narrow sphinx]

yup

[toxic yacht]

oh, the roster is pretty good

[feral solar]

VP should be fine against vega

[floral harness]

They don't deserve to be that shitty

[feral solar]

hopefully

[narrow sphinx]

IM not deep into the esports of ow but i like to know if spain is gut

[feral solar]

if they lose i will legit lose hope

[balmy wolf]

Spain is pretty good but their qualifier stage is rough

[floral harness]

Yep same

[balmy wolf]

like really rough

[toxic yacht]

I don't think that spain will qualify though

[floral harness]

Saperlipopette !

[toxic yacht]

they'll be second in group

methinks

[wise mural]

literally every highlight is AKM

[toxic yacht]

that's because aKm is aim

[narrow sphinx]

Akm deserves it

[toxic yacht]

personified

[balmy wolf]

https://puu.sh/wKWMZ/64534d2466.png

[wise mural]

akm is actually the original word for aim

they just failed at reading it

[wary falcon]

Avtomat Kalashnikova Modified

[wise mural]

and wrote aIm instead

[narrow sphinx]

wow a full europe group the group C 🤔

[wise mural]

Akm Kant Miss

[forest raven]

Yes

The full Europe group

[toxic yacht]

if they pick volskaya

[forest raven]

With Australia

FULL

EUROPE

[toxic yacht]

I'm gonna laugh my ass of

[feral solar]

LOL

[narrow sphinx]

Just look at EUROVISION

[toxic yacht]

[vestal mortar]

[narrow sphinx]

Australia is slowly getting into europ

[balmy wolf]

[feral solar]

hey draw is it hot in europe rn?

[forest raven]

It's Winter damnit

[narrow sphinx]

[vestal mortar]

[narrow sphinx]

Hot is cold compared to how hot is in spain

[floral harness]

They already are in the fucking Eurovision

Australia is europe now

[narrow sphinx]

Everything melts arround me

[feral solar]

its 2 degrees for me

so same

[forest raven]

Well this is off topic

[feral solar]

😐

[wary falcon]

Any Vega Squadron fangays here?

[narrow sphinx]

Australia was the gibraltar of oceania

[vestal mortar]

I love esports 😃

[balmy wolf]

Back to the group thing, both groups actually has key matchups, but RIP Vietnam and Japan though. Vietnam sent a full team but I'd be surprise if they can take a map off of anyone

same with Japan

[narrow sphinx]

japan commiting sudoku soon

[balmy wolf]

TIME TO WATCH MY BOY VP PLOW THROUGH ANOTHER MAJOR

oh wait.....

[floral harness]

LETS GO VP

[wary falcon]

i bet on Vega

+5.5 to win\

[feral solar]

[floral harness]

You can throw a football game but not a major, come on guys

[toxic yacht]

all the money

[wary falcon]

$60

i don't want to risk

[balmy wolf]

didnt you said the other day that don't bet against VP when in major?

[feral solar]

thats decent yeh

[vestal mortar]

I am confused

[wary falcon]

yeah

but my boy Mir

[feral solar]

[wary falcon]

[vestal mortar]

Not csgo again

[wary falcon]

hoooping for a cache and then 16-12 to Virtus Pro

[feral solar]

[vestal mortar]

I thought it was over last week

[wary falcon]

[feral solar]

i think it might be train

[wary falcon]

i need to leave right now

[feral solar]

theres cs every week

[wary falcon]

so i bet low on Vega +5.5

[feral solar]

pretty much

[wary falcon]

Major every half year

[balmy wolf]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/6nk5aa/overwatch_world_cup_2017_shanghai_group_stage_day/dkaf6wt/

[feral solar]

this is the biggest tournament

[floral harness]

cs go fans have a busy summer

this is crazy

[wary falcon]

only Major

that's it

but Dota fans

with TI

ohh

it's 17kk prize pool if i'm not mistaken

[feral solar]

typically theres only like 2 months when there is no cs to watch during the whole year

[floral harness]

There was the ESL one last week

and both of ECS and EPL finals

[wary falcon]

tournaments before Major or TI

are trash

nobody is trying to win

[feral solar]

did you not watch cologne

[wary falcon]

so quality is meh

[feral solar]

wtf

[balmy wolf]

21 millions+ prize pool for The International 7

and it might reach 25 at this rate

[wary falcon]

did you see how Gambit destroyed Mouz?

[floral harness]

Mouz lul

[wary falcon]

it's not the same gambit that whiffed all their shots before Major

[narrow sphinx]

[balmy wolf]

Mouse "we looked good for 2 minutes" Sports

[feral solar]

[narrow sphinx]

Is that a suicide?

[feral solar]

majot is just different

r*

[balmy wolf]

I mean, do you want to go to Volskyaya vs Rogue?

Denmark learned that the hard way

[toxic yacht]

awww, I already prepared a copy-paste thing for if they picked volskaya

[narrow sphinx]

waht?

[vestal mortar]

rip

[floral harness]

damn, forgot that the ow match was still going on

[feral solar]

hate this map

with a passion

[vestal mortar]

Send your copy-pasta anyway Sojum

[narrow sphinx]

You can post it if you want
in another alternate dimension volskaya is the map they chose

[toxic yacht]

already copied something else in

hek

[narrow sphinx]

hok

[toxic yacht]

I hope that rogue ends this fast

don't draw the murder out any more

[balmy wolf]

probably a 2-1

full hold would be hype

but not likely

[toxic yacht]

yee

[narrow sphinx]

RIP

[toxic yacht]

lol

rip

[narrow sphinx]

welp norwad couldn't push

[balmy wolf]

"AKM is down!"

"oh wait....back off guy"

[balmy wolf]

Decod with the -500 IQ play

[feral solar]

[narrow sphinx]

DID HE JUST USED THE MAP GIMMICK?

[toxic yacht]

I just lost 83 IQ by seeing that play

[unreal whale]

down to 3 iq

[narrow sphinx]

AKM losing aim by using the ult

[balmy wolf]

he uses it to reload

[toxic yacht]

he has lower dps with tac visor

because he can't headshot

[narrow sphinx]

^

[toxic yacht]

unkoe ded

[toxic yacht]

INVISION

[balmy wolf]

[toxic yacht]

both, I think

but aKm has had really fancy jukes today

[narrow sphinx]

WOW

[toxic yacht]

iko sworded right in akm's face, but he got killed by visor because he juked iko

[balmy wolf]

How did my thaiboys do against China?

decent

still 0-3'd tho

[toxic yacht]

they did their best

threw a bit on lijiang

threw a bit on moon

[narrow sphinx]

Well france seems to have the ult advantage

[balmy wolf]

:MercyWut:

[toxic yacht]

but outside of that, they did well

[balmy wolf]

Oputo needs to put his Q button elsewhere

[toxic yacht]

they still have 3 ults

I mean, it wasn't that bad that they popped the others

[narrow sphinx]

France just gave them hope

For then CRUSHING THEM

yup, 2 pushes because soon was throwing again

rogue throwing

nico wot

[narrow sphinx]

[toxic yacht]

of course aKm has to carry

[narrow sphinx]

4 FUCKING minutes vs 1 minute

Is that how it works if its capped in overtime?

rogue only needs to cap 1 tick

but this is somehow the best match of the yeaar

best map, yeah

LH vs Runaway

[strange coyote]

Hey guys, I'm new to twitch and just got the app. Who/what are some must follows for OW?

[toxic yacht]

the match was insane

especially that map

definitely do yourself a favour and watch it

[red anvil]

nothing beats LH vs Runaway s2 grand finale

just nothing

[toxic yacht]

yup

[vestal mortar]

It was incredible

[balmy wolf]

I actually haven't watch that match

because of the 3-1 meme

USA is shaky on paper but we need to see them in action

[strange coyote]

Ty @clever portal

[balmy wolf]

@strange coyote don't listen to his recommendation lol. He was trolling

[toxic yacht]

taiwan sent a pretty decent team too

[balmy wolf]

I think if we had a "Europe" team we would wreck shit

[toxic yacht]

same with australia

"decent"

pretty good

[balmy wolf]

Team Canada better get

Bischu tho

instead of Mangachu on D.va

It's not fair that countries with <10 million people play against countries with 1+ billion prople

[clever portal]

Lul, works the same everywhere

Even in football

[balmy wolf]

you mean like the talent pit hole that is NA?

where their best DPS picks are two people from teams that flunk out of Contenders?

Why is NA so crap in all esports? You guys should be dominating

Yet always behind eu/asia

[clever portal]

They dominate on console esports

[balmy wolf]

well, all esports that actually matter. Some idiot will bring up "console" esports

COD/Halo/SSB/GEARS

And i mean, PC gaming has been in EU blood for god know how long. Quake duels, CS 1.6, etc etc

same with Asia/KR

meanwhile NA is just console plebs

Wow Korea has only a population of 50 million?

I somehow thought 100+

extremely low barrier of entry with PC Bangs though

[smoky hinge]

That's pretty small

Damn

[balmy wolf]

American have a lot more but significantly higher barrier of entry

because a. console and b. PC usually needs to be built or buy

https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/6nk5aa/overwatch_world_cup_2017_shanghai_group_stage_day/dkafrs3/

Denmark had players that mechanically outskilled Rogue

what

[wary falcon]

NA had great CS scene

then league happened

[toxic yacht]

probably they mean krytox outskilling nico's genji and soon refusing to take 1v1s vs kragie

or I dunno

a lot of people look at tracer 1v1s and are like "UHHHH THIS TRACER WINS 1v1s, SO HE'S CLEARLY BETTER"

[wary falcon]

and CGS killed NA CS scene

3D, CoL, EG, pandemic

krey gasm

[toxic yacht]

CGS was that source wannabe OWL thing or what?

[balmy wolf]

yeah

basically a TV station wants to make their own OWL

but a. tried to monopoly it and b. split the playerbase

[toxic yacht]

ya, heard that it completely killed the source scene

[wary falcon]

you mean CS classic scene

it's like top-5 csgo teams will drop csgo and switch to Paladin esports for some reason

[balmy wolf]

https://dotesports.com/counter-strike/cgs-vulcun-twitch-esl-counter-strike-league-1665

What does [vodcast] mean? About to check the ow world cup on playoverwatch and it has two versions of each day, one with that and one without

[clever portal]

I think the vodcasts are just what twitch call highlights

Which means they are individual games

The broadcasts are all the games of one, a replay of the whole stream

[fathom ledge]

Oh, the vodcast version seems to be 8ish hours too though, maybe a bit shorter

[clever portal]

Vodcasts might be the replay?

Usually tournaments replay the games for NA

Some people like watching that way

including MA players, there is no fan to defend RoyalLord. there are 2-3 known worst coach in apex. he is one of them as a symbol of inability.
every MA strategy is made by the players, not coach. life management, team announcement also Nus did.

[clever portal]

[crisp lynx]

here is what he says
they said it's as if nexus cup situation is my fault, so, i'll tell you everything.
Saya has received an offer from overseas few days ago, and going to overseas team has been confirmed more than 90%.
At internal meeting of Athena, it was confirmed that saya was going out, libero doesnt to be player.
So, all athena agreed to cancel nexus cup schedule.

they also said i had not take over my work to current coach, but it's ridiculous. Because i didn't start take over yet. Massan, i said you that i have a couple of weeks for this.

even it was almost certain, but saya's contract was refused by the overseas team's sponsor and so, he returned. It was just yesterday. like me, nus don't want to be in meta. so nus terminated his contract now.
i have been with MA for 9 months. the reason i leave, firstly, we don't have a sponsor for 9 months, and was suspicious orgs can grows up to pay salaries to player. (I dont think it's due to significant lack of team performance compared to other teams.),

i said about my delegate for two weeks yesterday, and I didnt receive any call from you today.

[supple nymph]

saya ->

[crisp lynx]

translation is not smooth, but I think roughly understand it.

but refused by sponsor

[supple nymph]

what would make a sponsor refuse a contract?

does he already have personal sponsors?

yea, seems random

lots of teams do it

[crisp lynx]

Royallord used the word 'sponsor' exactly but idk who he points to.

[clever portal]

Interesting

Could this be the Korean NRG were talking about?

[crisp lynx]

Idk. i'll just wait until 18th.

https://twitter.com/i93o7/status/886612325309882368
I just talked to massan. we have just misunderstood each other.
More details will be announced again tomorrow within the meta official twitter.
I apologize for throwing down and reveal contents to be announced tomorrow with a momentary anger.

"In the case of Nexus Cup, I apologize for this situation by saying unsure statement like saya leaving team to nexus cup orgs, and made you confused. This is an obvious mistake by myself and it is surely wrong. Sorry."

One sec his Miku fandom is something lol

[toxic yacht]

wtf

this guy is fucking disgusting

how do I become like him?

[solid spear]

Thats actually like

How my room is <_<

[toxic yacht]

replace the miku shit with more varied stuff and that's how my room would look if I had money

[crisp lynx]

saya's tweet
hello it's saya, (skip) i want to talk about whether i am on the team or not. it is true that there has been a very good offer to be able to join without having to test abroad, but I have decided to stay with the team.

[toxic yacht]

without having to test

[crisp lynx]

yes

[toxic yacht]

NRG sounds even likelier now

lol

[vestal mortar]

Yeesh

[crisp lynx]

NRG did it?

[toxic yacht]

no one knows, but there are a few things that point towards them potentially doing it

all we know for a fact is that they wanted to try koreans (or were trying, i forgot)

[crisp lynx]

i thought misfits will full rebuild like NRG.

[toxic yacht]

could also have been carpe

[solid spear]

So Saya is staying?

[crisp lynx]

yes

[toxic yacht]

nus is rip tho

[solid spear]

Carpe was basically confirmed

[toxic yacht]

and libero's hand is ded

[clever portal]

Good to hear

Meta athena is a great team

Obviously the no sponsor is a problem though

[toxic yacht]

also, maybe misfits is gonna shuffle things around after the world cup

who knows, maybe they'll keep cwoosh

I don't think that they're gonna make any major changes though

[clever portal]

Tviq was the problem

[solid spear]

Still have to hear about Libero

Seems Nus is def out

[crisp lynx]

royallord told that Libero needed six weeks of rest because of his wrist surgery, but Libero corrected it to two weeks enough.

[toxic yacht]

especially since you can't point out any particular issue with misfits

they just seem kind of disjointed overall

[solid spear]

I dont think Misfits is blowing it up

But they may switch 1-2 players by OWL

[clever portal]

Misfits only problem is no main healer

[toxic yacht]

as much as I love nevix on dps, I found them better when zebbo was on flex and nevix on support tbh

[clever portal]

And Nevix underperforming

Or maybe he's not a top level dps at all

Who knows

[toxic yacht]

could be that zebbo isn't really that good of a support

like, nevix is a super good zen

his ana was also pretty good for the 4 matches we saw him play it

[crisp lynx]

hope they keep tviq until owl

[toxic yacht]

I feel like cutting tviq is basically throwing

[solid spear]

They will

[crisp lynx]

[toxic yacht]

like, pretty much everyone agrees that he is one of, if not the best DPS in OW

[solid spear]

Nevix, Mineral are the ones who should potentially be worried

[toxic yacht]

I dunno, except he's really disruptive and makes teams break (which I doubt), I don't see them getting cutting him anytime soon

[solid spear]

Not tviq

[toxic yacht]

I also don't see them getting rid of manneten since there aren't actually that many swedish off-tanks

zebbo and manneten

[rapid oxide]

@vestal mortar nice nick

[toxic yacht]

are the only ones I can think of right now

most swedes are dps for some reason

[solid spear]

And idk about saya being NRG Sojum

[rapid oxide]

@solid spear disgusting weaboo holy fuck

[solid spear]

Everythings been pointing to Carpe there

[toxic yacht]

effect is the man I aspire to be

[clever portal]

If the info on twitter is to be believed

[rapid oxide]

Can you give me the website pls?

[clever portal]

Chips could be an option for Misfits

[toxic yacht]

I don't think taht chips is leaving nV

anytime soon

[clever portal]

A twitter conversation said that you should think of NV as individuals, not a team

Which suggests they have no spot

[solid spear]

Seija once claimed to be a bigger weeb than me and I had to shut that down quick I call people weebs ironically but Im in fact superior

[clever portal]

But it's possible someone buys the NV core

because it's insane

You could buy HarryHook, Chips and Cocco

Add in effect as well

And you have a good start

[solid spear]

Taimou/Effect/Cocco/Mickie/Chips/Harry has zero bad players

Super strong

[clever portal]

This is obviously nitpicky, and I would love a full NV team staying together, but

Taimou: hitscan main, can't flex very well

Mickie: High level DVa and dps player, I wouldn't consider him on the level of someone like Zunba/Xepher who you'd want on your tier 1 team

[solid spear]

Eh if Taimou played Tracer no one would complain about his pool and theres Effect for that he still has McCeee/Hog/Widow/76/Reaper and Mickie is as good if not better than xeph imo

[clever portal]

Yeah, Tracer's mostly the problem

[balmy wolf]

Taimou on Tracer = throw

[clever portal]

If he could just play Tracer, it would be much better

But being a McRee/Widow only top 3 in the world is not exactly great in this meta

His soldier is not exactly something godly either

[solid spear]

Yeah but on NV

Youd never want him on Tracer anyway

[balmy wolf]

Taimou's niche is high burst heroes

and none of them are in the meta

those high burst heroes goes along with his flicking aiming style

but the rest is crapshoot

[solid spear]

I mean its not as if his 76 isnt good

The only real problem with NV

Is no Genji

[balmy wolf]

I mean it is servicable but do you trust him to go toe to toe vs AKM or Dafran?

and EFFECT is their Genji but no Tracer

so you know

[clever portal]

Here's the thing, you could play effect genji if Taimou was like a proper full hitscan player

[balmy wolf]

welcome to the eternal condondrum. Good enough to beat most teams, but always depend on patch in order to be "dominate"

[clever portal]

Atleast NV is consistent i guess

Some teams with no hero pool problems are still mid tier

Cough C9 cough Misfits

[solid spear]

I still think that roster is really good

[balmy wolf]

i mean, they are really good

but they will be a very patch-based team

[solid spear]

Theyre pretty much top 3 west at worst in a patch that doesn't favor them

There really arent much better rosters youre getting

[balmy wolf]

hence why it will be interesting to see if anyone buy them up wholesale

if I were Kraft though, I'd either buy up Lunatic Hai or craft a super team

and of course by crafting I mean poaching people left and right

more like kraft a super team

[rapid oxide]

super team super mayonnaise

[solid spear]

Super team thing may or may not work idk

[balmy wolf]

I mean the amount of FAs in the West and East are like, a lot

so it is certainly in the realm of possibility

but whether or not it is the right choice

only time will tell

[solid spear]

LH probably has at least part of its roster ending up on Seoul

[balmy wolf]

according to @crisp lynx

Kevin already in talks with couple of players including Birdring

Birdring/Rascal/RJH/Tobi/Zunba/Mano?

[rapid oxide]

who's kevin?

[red anvil]

Miro split from RJH? would legit make me cry

[crisp lynx]

kevin who bought seoul spot

[red anvil]

those two are like butter and bread

[rapid oxide]

oh

[balmy wolf]

Miro is good but his Reinhardt is a drop off

[solid spear]

If they're getting the other 3 LH guys

[balmy wolf]

he is a 10 on Winston but a 7 at best on Reinhardt

[vestal mortar]

Thanks Vace 😉

[solid spear]

Theyd probably just keep the core

[balmy wolf]

personally if i were Kevin

I'd poach Alwaysoov instead

then hand him a blank check and tell him to make a super team

[solid spear]

We have to see if he actually does go with a mix

But seems thats what hes leaning towards

[clever portal]

Yeah for sure

Instead of trying to put together some god roster

Take LH coach

I wouldn't be surprised if LH 2 became top 4 KR in a few seasons

[balmy wolf]

like, just poach him

and then hand him a check

and let him work his shits

[solid spear]

I mean its very likely they just go LH with 1-2 new players and retain the coach

[balmy wolf]

depends on the amount of money they can get out of Mr.Chou

[solid spear]

I guess

Already spent quite a bit on the spot

Sure he's willing to spend more

[red anvil]

LH coach is a weird person

he takes people and shape them into whatever he sees fit

[clever portal]

He could probably take xQc, Taimou and dafran

And reform them

[red anvil]

He could make Taimou into a healing slut if he desired

RJH, Tobi, old deepses turned into healing sluts by the coach

[solid spear]

Leave Dafran alone

[balmy wolf]

biased ^

[red anvil]

Dohyeon is also a dps player, coach is turning him into a punching bag

[solid spear]

I mean

Taimou played Mercy early beta lul

[red anvil]

Dafran would make a great team chef though

lol! did not know that

[toxic yacht]

pretty sure that jehong turned to a healslut by his own will

which benifited all of us

[balmy wolf]

Alwaysoov's coaching style is basically trying to make players comform into his system

which is fine because KR players actually listen to their coach and do as they told

[red anvil]

you dont what happens behind closed doors in LH sojum 👀

[balmy wolf]

imagine if you ask some DPS main "can you play Ana/Zen?" in NA?

[solid spear]

Well quite a few support mains are converted dps mains or least played a lot of dps

[clever portal]

Because they have a FPS history

So they probably played dps when they started

[balmy wolf]

it is only something post-Ana

[clever portal]

They don't use their own, outside of online tournaments

[worn sable]

Thx

[rapid oxide]

@worn sable i want to add that where pro plays it's not our servers but it's a Local one (LAN)

that means they could boost their levels or give themself infinite lootboxes

for example, on Koreans tournament, they have LV 1000+

[balmy wolf]

7PM CDT for me
