smh now 123 has one icelandicianish insteaf of one german

#

123 trying to become mid-tier smh

clever portal
#

What was Kodak

#

Flex dps?

toxic yacht
#

dva

#

off-tank

#

it's in the article too

wary falcon
#

who is icelandish?

toxic yacht
#

haffi

clever portal
#

Hafficool off-tank MercyWut

wary falcon
#

i thought people from Iceland has huge ping

rapid oxide
#

insert mid tier meme here

toxic yacht
#

haffi was a pretty good dva back in the tank meta

clever portal
#

@toxic yacht you think I read the articles mercypls

toxic yacht
#

we don't know if that was only because dva was op though

clever portal
#

In EU they run 3 dps half the time as well

#

So he'll probably need to play Genji?

toxic yacht
#

probably

solid spear
#

Well they run that a lot cuz they have less good D.Va players and a lot of good Genjis

#

Not because the region necessarily thinks that comp is actually better

toxic yacht
#

remember when unfixed played genji for 5 seconds?

clever portal
#

You're saying that like there are many good NA DVas

solid spear
#

There are

toxic yacht
#

lol

balmy wolf
#

Coolmatt69 lewdnico

toxic yacht
#

nice mobile

clever portal
#

PC, but bad connection jynCRY

solid spear
#

rip

clever portal
#

Imo they run it because most EU teams have 3 good dps players

solid spear
#

I mean thats half of what I said

clever portal
#

And the mentioned low DVa skill

solid spear
#

They have lots of good Genjis

#

Compared to D.Vas

clever portal
#

Most NA teams can't run 3 dps

solid spear
#

Where in NA is the opposite

clever portal
#

Most EU teams can't run DVa

solid spear
#

They actually have good D.Va players in NA but projectile talent in NA is lol

toxic yacht
#

that's literally what oreo said

balmy wolf
#

πŸ€”

solid spear
#

It was actually pretty good during tank meta tbh

balmy wolf
#

well, the problem is that the way you run D.va back during tank meta is different from now

#

Mickie did has to adjusted for a while and he is known as one of the best D.va player in the world during the tank meta

solid spear
#

Well yeah its possible hes not a good D.Va by current standards

balmy wolf
#

the way you play D.va last meta is fundamentally incompatible with the way you play D.va now

#

last meta D.va was an aggressive bully-type tank

#

this meta if you playing D.va like last meta you are not doing your job

clever portal
#

Last meta even if you peeled, it wouldn't help too much

#

As matrix was so inconsistent

balmy wolf
#

during the last meta the Matrix is sort of something that is kind of important in stretches but not that good in the grand scheme of things

#

like in a 1v1 to shut down a 76 or to eat up an ult then DM is huge

#

but outside of that and helping Rein's shield stay up long

#

it doesn't do much

solid spear
#

Well D.Va as a whole was just less reliant on it cuz she was way more tanky

#

And shed just bully stuff regardless

balmy wolf
#

well yeah, that's what I said

#

she is there to bully the enemy team more than actually mitigate the damage

balmy wolf

how accurate is that analysis

#

who seriously prefere Paladins should gtfo and stfu

i dont go on lol sub claiming dota is better

1st it's pointless and 2nd its retarded

also i dont go on other sub just to spread negativity just for the sake of it without giving any constructive feedback

just stfu already and kys

red anvil

but no i'll never understand anyone obsesed with proving one game is better then the other

rapid oxide

yes im fucking mad

just tell them to look at cauterize and wrecker

even if someone hates blizzard, can't really say bliss did something worse thant that

what worries me is that this kind of post are getting upvotes

eh, reddit is easy to brigade

rapid oxide
#

are not fucking journalist if you state your opinion

its not your god damn job state your opinion

that's true

dont tell an italian mad what to do

that's the thing with reddit

one day a certain post could be the most upvoted by a number of a people, then next day an exact opposite post with a different people

nigga calm down

lots of contradiction

rapid oxide

@solid spear dont listen to weabs sorry

solid spear
limber pine
#

Not to mention posts of the same opinion can have vastly different upvotes and visibility

wintry matrix
#

if u don listen to weebs are u a web

limber pine
#

Depending on wording and time of day and fun stuff like that

rapid oxide
#

its a mix of lots of factors: visibility, time posted, people browsing that sub at X moment etc...

wintry matrix

that's why when i jump in these sorts of volatile opinion posts i usually just read a paragraph or two, see it's bullshit and bail

I think this OWL announcement only came out because of all the critical posts

supple nymph
#

priorities

clever portal
#

So it's good they're atleast taking it seriously

balmy wolf
#

i mean though

#

the flow of negativity will still going to flow at least for another month or two

#

until Contenders come

#

and then it will be "Carbon camerawork is trash REEEEE"

#

because apparently BEATS Invitationals wasn't enough in term of reminding people that NA production is NA production for a reason

#

I once said I was glad OMM has been replaced by something better

#

And it was like I'd stabbed their families

wintry matrix
#

OMM wasn't replaced

#

at least not yet

#

i think the equivalent would be Open Division i think, but with no streams and casting

#

that or smaller cups like Athena and stuff

balmy wolf
#

meanwhile, SK/North/Virtus Pro/Astralis/Fnatic/Gambit and BIG qualified. Now down to Immortals and Flipside monkaS

#

BIG qualified is a monkaS in and of itself

clever portal
#

I saw OMM as the highest level in NA

#

It was where we saw who was good, new teams etc

#

Now contenders does the same job

balmy wolf
#

people attached to OMM way too much

#

and the news that it was discontinued was in a wave of blizz discontent too

#

so it snowballed

supple nymph
#

πŸ‘€

#

their eyes are everywhere

wintry matrix
#

i think the difference is that sometimes a smaller team could compete with big ones/teams on the rise, like East Wind

#

contenders is only the top you could say

clever portal
#

Yeah, it needs to be 16 teams

wintry matrix
#

i'd still like to have an OMM every few months at least, or an online tourney like that

clever portal
#

And changing invites

balmy wolf
#

nah online tourny is shite - blizz

clever portal
#

Or how about a LAN afrog

wintry matrix
#

lan is expensive

balmy wolf
#

Contenders S1 LAN is going to be a thing

supple nymph
#

real lan or internet lan? FeelsCringeMan

balmy wolf
#

real LAN hopefully

#

and even in Shanghai it was a real LAN

#

LAN Finals Rogue vs Envy haHAA

Kungarna took care of them o3o

Kungarna doesn't seems like they will be escaping the mid tier hell tbh

#

then again so is Cloud9

clever portal
#

Kungarna lul

#

Those are the kind of things that keep OW interesting

#

Kungarna top 8 NA tracerkek

balmy wolf
#

that reminded me to rewatch Kungarna vs Immortals

#

just to dissect on how Immortals fucked them so hard

#

when Kungarna draw vs Cloud9

Good riddance OMM got abandoned

#

Slasher, Shit audio quality, shit production, slasher, na, online, slasher

well I mean

#

theyre still top 6 or 7 NA rn probably

balmy wolf
#

yeah, but they are still only onliners

rapid oxide
#

People forgot NGA

solid spear
#

well some of them were at NGE lul but like a lot of teams are onlners

rapid oxide
#

Or w/e

solid spear
#

there hasnt been many lans

rapid oxide
solid spear
#

this year

balmy wolf
#

yes they were in NGE but that was 6 fucking months ago

#

at this point it is a wash

#

and also half of their team is now elsewhere too

solid spear
#

theres been like zero NA LANs in the past 6 months

balmy wolf
#

it was also a different lineup

solid spear
#

thats not their fault

balmy wolf
#

which is unfortunate

#

but still

solid spear
#

ye Ajax, B1am ConnorJ

balmy wolf
#

I wonder why ConnorJ left Envision

solid spear
balmy wolf
#

and now Envision scrap up Jaru off of the corpse of Toronto

solid spear
#

Jaru isnt bad though

#

I dont think ConnorJ is a significantly better player than Jaru tbh

balmy wolf
#

not really. ZP and Hex hyped him to the moon but the qualifier was the only place where he looked good

#

and Toronto has a losing record when it come to weeklies

#

they has an ex T1 in Onigod and they has been mired in the weekly land for like months on ends before Contenders

#

and then Toronto getting smashed by LGEvil and Envision certainly didn't help

#

hence of course now Toronto nuked their roster and rebuild.....by putting ad in Inven MonkaThink

#

inb4 Selly go to Toronto tho

#

Gotta wonder how OCE ranked matchmaking is significantly more shit than SEA

balmy wolf
#

less people

#

SEA actually can get some good matchmaking just by getting to KR or JP server

#

not in OCE though

#

since they can only go to SEA

#

which is like jumping from one pool of shit to another

supple nymph
#

mccree gambler skin caster from OPC is on ATW

clever wagon
#

No, Reign

#

I mean as a SEA plat that's logged into "America", I've never once gotten that kind of shit tier matchmaking

#

And by matchmaking I meant the SR alone

#

Not once as a high plat or low diamond I ever met a master+ in ranked

#

Though the last time I played was like 2 weeks ago at the very least

wary falcon

I didn't play on highest level

just casual on 4100 SR

#

(on KR)

#

so RA is better?

#

I dropped chinese OW in december 2016

#

don't know their teams, if they still same they don't have any chances against KR

red anvil

Most likely yes

but its still a wildcard since we only seen one match with new RA rooster

The OW is fucking trash though

And you can get team emotes as well CLG

Yh, don't expect to ask them questions

Mostly memeing

A lot of pros have their own discords

So you can 'speak' to them there

wary falcon

join the OW

care to explain?

clever portal

the OW is a discord

#

This discords includes a protalk channel

toxic yacht

they woke up pogchimp

wary falcon

not this server?

This is a reddit r/overwatch server

If you want to discuss something, the OW is thrash though

wary falcon

No discussion, and tournament channels are dead

wary falcon

just any insides perhaps?

toxic yacht

But honestly, the chat in a random channel here is probably better than there

flow3r is already at his second one

Triple dps is the new meta

It was meta for a short time a few months back, meta has moved back to 2-2-2 with dva instead of a third dps, although triple dps is still ran

#

@toxic yacht how did they use the wall

toxic yacht
#

used it to cut off winston from getting the mega on the right side of volskaya B, so winston had to use the other entrance to access it, they then instantly pushed after the wall was down, cut him off and killed him

Finland and AUS

if RIP and Misfits core get their shit together i'd say both of them, as much as i want Spain to go

But at least half there roster is from tier 1-2 teams

wintry matrix
#

spain is low-key stacked

#

only doubt is Winghaven which afaik haven't played in a while and was in a slump in his last matches

red anvil
#

3 months since he was in LK so he's probably not used to playing in dive at all

#

in a pro envoirment

toxic yacht
#

Predictions are Sweden and Aus for me, mostly because Sweden will likely get second seed and play vs Finland, whom they are likely gonna beat imo

solid spear
#

but Misfits ew

#

Go Finland o3o

toxic yacht
#

Yeah, because NiP are so much better

solid spear
#

I still want them to win kagarishrug

wintry matrix

not rooting for spain smh

sturdy granite
#

Either Finland and Aus or Finland and Sweden

balmy wolf
#

I forgot about the seeding actually @toxic yacht

#

Im gonna go with AUS and Sweden then

#

it is rather vital that both Finland and Sweden got first seeds

#

top 4 probably going to be Sweden, Australia, Spain, Finland

red anvil
#

Is blank esports solid?

#

never heard anything special aout them

balmy wolf

they are pretty solid

Australia, Japan, and Vietnam all has the potential to play spoilers

i'm just looking forward to seeing NZ, they got last seasons top 1 global mercy main zaryalol

wary falcon
#

i watched few AUS games

#

and i'm not impressed at all

#

on other hand i didn't play with italian players except karnifex

#

Vietnam = CyzoneVN?

#

@balmy wolf

balmy wolf
#

yes

wary falcon
#

they played on pacific cup and failed?

#

perphaps they prepared few surprises like Thailand

balmy wolf
#

nah they didn't get invited

#

but they won the SEA LAN

wary falcon
#

any good teams?

#

FW or Blank

clever portal
#

OPC has some requirements

#

You need an org that will move you to Taiwan and get a place

#

Otherwise more than 4 teams would have tried to qualify zaryalol

balmy wolf
#

CyzoneVN for all intents and purposes are orgless

#

so unless somebody starts an org in VN

#

they will remains that way

#

unless of course they performed well in the WC

clever portal

Just saw another Thai team tried to qualify

I'm guessing esports are bigger in Thailand?

better watch ma boi tviq flex some muscles if the meta is different at blizzcon

maybe Misfits will get Cwoosh MonkaThink

so it's kinda fine

Weabs should be isolated

toxic yacht

wouldn't shock me if they're kinda trialing cwoosh

with this

ngl, if I were misfits I'd put zebbo on lucio, get rid of mineral, put nevix back on support and get cwoosh

rapid oxide

Misfits should drop everyone tbh

#

NRG EU

solid spear
#

well

#

think with that Sojum is

balmy wolf
#

Misfits does have the cash to do a roster overhaul, they already sunk 20 mils on the Miami spot

solid spear
#

isnt the reason they brought Mineral in at all just for calls

rapid oxide
#

Swedish only team was a stupid idea

solid spear
#

I mean they kinda limit their options with their insistence on full Swedish roster

rapid oxide
#

Get mediocre players just cuz swe

#

And put people on role that aren't their true role

balmy wolf
#

It worked for Rogue

#

so you know

solid spear
#

I mean

rapid oxide
#

Yep

toxic yacht
#

I mean, nevix has always been suport/dps

rapid oxide
#

Indeed they won Apex /s

toxic yacht
#

the only one who is not on their true role is zebbo

#

since he never played main support

rapid oxide
#

Rogue will fall when dive meta will die

#

Mark my words

solid spear
#

eh

#
  1. I doubt dive is straight up dying
#

and even then I dont think Rogue turns to shit if it does

rapid oxide
#

Not Tier 2 but they wont be a powerhouse anymore

solid spear
#

theyll be less strong probably yeah

#

but theyll still be T1

rapid oxide
#

Yrs still T1

balmy wolf
#

Rogue is good enough individually that even if the meta shift the worst it could happen is that they stay with EnVyUs

clever portal
#

@solid spear doner or pizza, choose now daPepe

solid spear
#

well

#

NV is close to Rogue in a meta that is way more in Rogues favor than NV

#

NV would certainly be better in a tank basedmeta tbh

balmy wolf
#

EnVyUs has the condundrum that without the patch favoring them, the best they could be is just better than most, but never dominated. So if dive ever got nerfed, it probably going to the case with Rogue

#

I mean, yeah. But at this moment people are really firm on the fact that Rogue will get fucked when the meta change just because they played dive for so long

#

which is rather a foolish way of thinking about it

#

Rogue is not LGEvil

rapid oxide
#

Rogue lack of flexing tbh

#

Just look at Soon on how got rekt as Mccree

#

Knoxx is a bad rein

balmy wolf
#

and your source is one map vs eUnited MercyWut

#

it is not enough to tell anyone anything

rapid oxide
#

Winz is wasted on Lucio

#

Unkoe and AKM are good

#

Nico LULUL

clever portal
#

aKm can play any hitscan

solid spear
#

they still have more talent than almost any team

#

and I doubt

clever portal
#

Pretty sure tracer as well?

solid spear
#

dive will die

clever portal
#

Soon is apparently a god hog as well

#

Nico can probably play Zarya

rapid oxide
#

Hog in 2017 HYPERLUL

clever portal
#

Only Knoxx is the problem with a Rogue flex

#

His Rein is unproven

solid spear
#

I cant see Rein becoming omnipresent again unless they actually hit Winston and other characters pretty hard

balmy wolf
#

At this point until the next meta shifted and crystalized, all of this is conjecture for the most part. And Rogue has play Reinhardt based comp before

solid spear
#

which I doubt they will

balmy wolf
#

but only occassionally

rapid oxide
#

Rein looks so amazing on PTR

solid spear
#

I dont think they even wanna touch Winston

balmy wolf
#

so it is not something to based on either

rapid oxide
#

Feels more consistent with the hammer swing

#

@solid spear you need very little to make winston shit tbh

solid spear
#

a lot of teams are going to still be running exclusively Monkey next patch

rapid oxide
#

Previously Winston was the least played hero

solid spear
#

in what

#

ranked?

rapid oxide
#

Yes and before dive even in pro

solid spear
#

he got buffed when he was over 50% usage in proscene lol

rapid oxide
#

Now its 99% lol

balmy wolf
#

from here until the next meta it is going to be at least 2 months. OW meta is painfully slow to crystalize

#

and usually it takes some experimentation

#

so right now this is just blind speculation

rapid oxide
#

Because NA is lazy to innovate

#

And EU too

solid spear
#

He got less play in in tank meta because you could only run 3-4 and hes not good against heavy tanks besides that Winston has literally always been good

balmy wolf
#

like how Alwaysoov even pointed out that NA/EU is better in term of discovering a meta faster than KR?

#

too lazy alright.

rapid oxide
#

Alwaysoov said Envy would win against KDPA

#

easily

balmy wolf
#

that's his speculation though.

rapid oxide
balmy wolf
#

his observation regarding the meta in the past is correct for the most part

#

hell Complexity run Sombra first

#

before she was actually a thing

rapid oxide
#

And Misfits Junkrat

#

Super innovative

balmy wolf
#

everything that KR runs right now always has an NA/EU precedent if you actually look at how different meta evolves.

#

KR is less innovator as much as they do it really well

rapid oxide
#

Sombra on 2CP? No genji in dive meta?

balmy wolf
#

LGEvil run Sombra on 2CP first

#

in OCS

#

way before anyone ever thought of using her in 2CP

I mean you have to remember that Vace is the same person that said wed suck Koreans because they would keep using Hog and we see how that went, my mans loves Koreans cant blame em theyre cuties

koreans never try anything new anyway, literally everything "new" they did was done in the west first

they just refine it
