Just for playing iirc
dummy is a mercy main now
Dummy got too much shit talk
It's perfect
It won't be lol
dummy is scared of playing ana now
gonna play mercy so that no one shits on him
lul
The Team that finishes in First Place in its region will have $50.00 in Blizzard Balance added to each team memberβs Battle.net Account.
The team was shit so kinda translated into his personal performance
everyone on that team is cursed
Yes
harb went from being the best player on coL to...
Seagull gonna curse his next team
Harbs actually like
IDDQD praised the best mcree histan in thr world
well, harb is also unlucky because his hero pool is garbage rn
zarya is shit
road doesn't exist
I can't believe how pumped I was for that NRG roster
Don't be anymore
Harbs pool is just atrocious rn yeah
Even in OWL
Idd I dont think suddenly went to shit lol the team was a mess
Can't wait NRG buy LH and start being trash lol
NRG destroys people
makes them trash
for no reason
the moment they leave it they're suddenly good
like, wat
Dummy was trash beforehand doe

I'll show myself out
He was gonna get cut from Liquid
And then NRG picked him up
I never seven saw him dps because I wasn't really into OW back then
He was support when he left
just heard of his conversion
@pine star 
That cost them 0
Sucks
Better than nothing
At lest 600$ in actual money
But still low yeah
That 50$ is like 0 honestly
Minstrel and Rapha were brought in when dummy got out
You can buy some lootboxes 
LOL
buy destiny 2
I would buy some wow time
ik its 60
buy lootboxes 
Hahahahaha
you're just paying 10
The beta is next month
Idk if my laptop can even run that may end up playing on console lul
If u have never played it. It's gonna be sick
Beta was pretty fun last weekend
You get 10 for participating in open division
I am gonna build a pc and play destiny on 4k
So winners can buy destiny 2 
The game is beautiful
Laptop

Pls
who cares if it looks meh
its only 10 $/β¬/Β£
Just why is this game more popular
wut 10$only?
It's a fun game
π
Whats the skill in it ffs
And dont worry about it
Csgo, lol, dota are way better tbh
I am not getting it because i am on a laptop
Laptop

I literally cant wait to build my pc
Destiny 2 League confirmed 
@rapid oxide 50 for winning open div
Better than ow esport xd
dunno if any of you played destiny 1 but bungie are incompetent as fuck, especially regarding balance lol
Facts
Ah ok
Seriously tho, D2 struck me as... very esportsy

The only thing that might make me try it is if there's a possibility of getting picked
Other than that, it's a waste
i just want a team thats a challenge really
after we win this next one
all the teams should be good from then on
Yeah it's pretty fun honestly
I have played in tournaments in mw2 π³π
It's so much fun
mw1 master race
its not really that fun
CoD pro gamer 
It is
we just stomp every game
Damn
pretty boring
for Polo
Is it reddit meme team?
Polo π
Arent u guys between t3 and t2
T2.156
T4 actually because he didn't twitt while on payload
if gatekeepers can get T2 then we're high T2 lmao
DSPolo 
LOL
doesn't it hold you back that your 2 dps players don't use comms
DSP lul

No comms 
if we played in contenders we probably could have gotten far
Exxu got potential to go pro tbh
the pro who doesn't talk
also, he's a genji one-trick, don't think that that's very desirable
Haksal is a onetrick
You mean specialist 
Haksal on Winston smh
he's a top 10 player, he can play anything against these teams and we can win
Yeah u wont meet any good teams until the end probably
Literally everyone and their mothers are in this
And i heard that the registration fucked up so even below 3.5k sr can participate
yeah but they all get crushed by the master teams so we never face them
I thought we would get our first good team last week
because we have won 3 in a row
but nope
still just masters
this match should be good though
hopefully
whose idea was it to let master+ participate anyway, lul?
obviously the masters would get crushed
Dude will u stream them?
I would love to watch stuff like when seagull streamed contenders
exxu and aimer have streamed all our matches so far afaik
NUUUUU
Tfw nobody mentions about weekly tournaments and such
Even OWUL is a joke
looks like a young soldier 76

After receiving interest from teams already in the OWL, Claris has communicated his desire to pursue those tryout opportunities.
NRG Claris 
Wonder what OWL team is trailing Claris

Could be a team being formed
Obvs
Or an unannounced one
NRG, Misfits, IMT are the teams that have basically guaranteed spots
claris gone try to caarry nrg
6 shotcallers
I mean if its one of those 3 teams then that's the only one that makes sense
It's so rare i dont even see him
50k min 
Could be one of the teams without roster
Dude iddqd gets MUCH MUCH MORE
That's a minimum
Harb is getting 10k per a month
That's what I thought you never know don't wanna jump to conclusions
At least
Even if NRG makes sense
Seagull fuck me he is so rich

πΈ
He at least makes 50k per a month
Boi
Source?
That's like 20k
From nrg
Twitch takes half
Oh
Goddamn twitch
Okay he gets around 35k maybe
How much does nrg pay him
A shit ton
I mean he's doing well for himself lol
I am so jelly
HP or whoever sponsors him too
Some thoughts on Seagull stepping down to become a sub for NRG instead of a starter and its implications for himself, NRG and OGN. Referenced OverSight Episo...
Well you never know maybe one day
Maybe one day i am gonna be a pro 

with dummy?
blizzard's slowness in everything they do
they just announced they are going to start looking at reports over the next year, soon
after it being shit for like 8 months

they acknowledge a problem exists and put it in the backlog
but it takes a year to get to it
so
Dreamhack/ELEAGUE decided to uphold the Valve ban
so that's a lot of major events unable to attend by the iBP folks
isnt there enough talent in CS that nobody would bother touching someone with a ban
like it would automatically make you less desirable than 90% of pros
iBP got this mythical aura since their ban
and their cult appeal just got bigger and bigger
hence the celebration of the unban
ah like dafran
and dellor to a lesser extent
noone knew who he was until he went crazy
of course
those guys also kept themselves relevant by other things as well
Steel for streaming
Dazed for doing analysis for ESL
Brax or Swag did fill in for C9 and has a good performance when Skadoodle was hospitalized
basically the Seagull way of reminding everyone that he is still alive
Dellor was a thing for like 2 weeks lul
and Dafran made his name well before he got banned
more like 2 days
yeah probably I dont remember lul
literally never heard of him until The Incident
he was from TO, none of it's players we heard before contenders
aside from Onigod because of Reunited
I'm pretty sure he wasnt even starting on TO when that happened
Itβs a game we designed from the ground up to be a great competitive experience and we saw it as an opportunity to build a sport around it, to be able to celebrate our players and our fans, and also really look to build a real business around that. We looked at structures and formats from traditional sports and marry that with our expertise of 26 years of making esports content β we think thatβs a powerful combination.

Overwatch is super healthy right now.

Shadders team is losing a 5v6 in comp

It's actually hilarious how shit comp is at that lvl
And sad
BM in sc2 had class
now it's just 20 year olds spewing memes and acting like babies
I guess PTR patch won't be til until after DF hits live 

What if doomfist is my hero
The one I will get to the top1
What if I am a doomfist main born
And I just couldn't release my skills on the current roster
Maybe 
I can hear doomfist whispering
I still hope one day Blizzard says "FUCK WHATEVER THE CURRENT META IS LOSERS" and release 5 heroes in a single patch 
"You are gonna carry so many games"
I know lmao
You sick bastard
so the idiot captain of my team during a 4am morning haze decided to pm the org that recently just released their roster
and we beat their roster in AG this week
a single sentence email
and the org actually seriously replied back 
please remember #esports-discussion when you go big
pming as in asking for trials?
Tempo ReignWolf 
get that OverwatchTMZ karma
Not LFT like everyone here?
need to have r/cow trolls vs r/cow mods match

automod is a thing of beauty
So, how much will OW die today?
every
What every
You can't kill what is already dead 
every
OW is 2k17
ded game
I have a friend who still has the game installed 
Shut up bro
They're only making 50k minimum in the first year of the game 
Ignore that CS has been around forever

Ass
Seijass 
niggas calm down
Weebgun
You can't kill me with my own power BRAH
1 year after making a Discord acc and I still don't know how to save emotes to this day
Right click the emote, open link and save from your browser
Is that a nitro thing?
Upload to our own server and set it global?
Nah using your own emotes is a nitro thing
Most small servers don't have global emotes
I'm seriously considering cancelling my Nitro subscription given how shit the mobile app is
Ripperonis
I'm not paying 5 bucks a month REEEE
You cheap ass fuck
They just added hide muted servers on mobile 
Is it just me or does Discord lag a fuck ton on Android
I always wondered how the OW have so many global emotes 
Esp when typing somewhat long msgs like
I'm seriously considering cancelling my Nitro subscription given how shit the mobile app is
And at that point even the fucking keyboard lags
Like wtf
summit tweets all the time about how he hates it
and hes one of the top streamers
iirc
@clever wagon not just you, the Android app is actual garbage
How does WhatsApp not lag even with a lot of people?
But this app page with a few people in a channel
Go to dms or a small server, app works fine only there
Because the Discord app probably uses open socket or something
Is the app new?
It's poorly optimized
I only got discord recently
It's not even new
Nah, it's been a while
I've had the app for a year and half and it's older than that
It probably has some badly coded listener in the EditText where you type your message
Still garbo
Because the longer the message, the more it lags
How's the iPhone app?
Never used it
I don't associate with Apple

Β―_(γ)_/Β―
I play OW on my iPad
Get a NVidia Shield u pleb
Nu
shilling
It sucks too
As an iOS developer myself, I hate iPhones and iPads so much lol
Such a closed, restrictive platform
It's like having fucking handcuffs for everything you do
Swift 
https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/6pskio/shadder2k_said_that_azk_has_99_chance_of_leaving/dkrv991/ this fucking comment thread
literally
news about salary and shit came out
and then it went straight back to DAE OW DEAD
https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/6prlfx/human_review_of_reportban_confirmed/ There were a lot of crap thrown around yesterday about an...
LOL
this is like a thing
calling blizzard CS and uploading it then spamming
about the azk thing: tbh, a team mate saying it's kinda good evidence of azk doing so
He's gone
but yes Overwatch is confurmed dead, and we should all go play Competitive Jet Set Radio
Brax and Dazed already said ASK will join em
Now his teammates said hes pretty much out
Hes defintely gone
Am I the only one who honestly couldn't give two fucks about this AZK thing?
I mean he's a player on a top 4-6 NA team I care somewhat
it's kinda sad that TL has to rebuild, but i don't have strong feelings about him or TL
true, but 'ill never forget NRGitis
You can upgrade him pretty easily
you can have a beast player that don't mesh well with the team and perform shit
Yeah he'll get replaced but
That's part of why you should care if hes leaving
Because it puts Liquid in play for guys they otherwise wouldn't be looking at neccesarily
I mean even if you don't care about the CSGO side of it that spot on Liquid being open for FA matters
Most people lol
It's hard to imagine not a single one of them meshing with the team
Even teams lile Arc6 straight up said there's offers and they're open to disbanding if certain stuff comes along for members of the team
So even people who don't seem like FA I'm actuality are
Specially when on August 1st owners put their dick on the table
Don't get me wrong, is not that I don't care about AZK as a person, I just don't care about him leaving, it's not the end of the world honestly
If he can find success in CSGO, that's great
I watch CSGO from time to time myself
I mean no one thinks it's the end of the world but it's worth talking about
But people are making a fucking storm in a glass of water
remember that TL still needs a shotcaller too
Dicks on the table in 6 days 
I don't expect news on August 1st tho
They have 3 months to figure stuff out
But hopefully we get news about more teams early next month
I think the only news you could see is like
Probably IMT and MSF signing
If a deal for NV, Rogue etc was already done and they couldn't announce it
I still have hope for some EU slots
I think most people are hoping theres 1 or 2 EU spots
Depends how many teams we even get
Could be 8 could be like 12 idk

people are so insistent on AZK leaving that now people are veering into the non sensical territory as well
AZK will get a T1 team
wut
ffs leave AZK do whatever suits him best lol
I guess IMT could officially sign players on the 1st ye
he is free to do whatever he wants. What i'm mad at is people being dumb.
and not knowing how pro CSGO works
Just ignore them
Works for me
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
They better fucking sign my boy Kariv right away
I didn't bought that jersey for naught
They wont
Shut up
Seoul Kariv 
Shut up
Poached
is committing long term to their roster so they will obviously sign their roster
Ye
I think they'll sign all 7 guys
Can we take a moment to appreciate how fucking chill and smart Noah is?
Noah is rolling in money now
their CSGO team nearly walk the Royal Road in PGL Krakow
Can he get my nigga Anti some cash my mans dying out here
ANTi is alright
IMT came out of the woodwork in all the esports they're in 
They've got some modest to mediocre results
Anti was the key
And suddenly they're top 3 in literally everything
π°π·
And π§π·
That makes sense
Misfits bouta just sign Tviq or whatever his name is and leave the rest of the squad til October 30th
They better have the pen ready to make him sign on August 1th at midnight
Or else, Kraft may drop some bucks his way π
Tviq is Misfits' golden boy
but they better get some good management with him
because any decisions that is made by the Misfits players has been kind of crap
and a coach as well
Letting the players decide most shit is flat out retarded
I mean Sulli unless his contract ends before the 30th couldn't Misfits just refuse a buyout?
His contract ends tomorrow π
Nah I have no clue
4 out of 5 players in Immortals LOL are not from NA 
N A E S P O R T S
noah cracked the esports code
be an NA org
stay as away as possible from NA players
???????
profit
didnt kyky even say he hated NA players
he sarcastic said that one of the key is to not have any NA players during his AMA
No wonder they kicked Lui 
anyone?

π

Just play Splatoon, 3x the salary
Be Summit/Ster/MoonMoon/Jerma and get paid for playing whatever as long as you stream it
Ez
Boobs might or might not be a plus
Not Gull, his viewership dropped by like half or smth for a while when he played Doom instead of OW
Even worse then
I only saw him on my Twitch Live list when he was at 3k
I just went with his average being 7k
Rip
maybe because seagull is know for his knowledge of the game and talking about it while playing while these other are just know for being funsies
his knowledge of the game is overrated
especially when you consider how casual his stream usually are
he interacts with fans, sure
but he got first mover advantage with his Genji POTG back then
which is really huge
Talking about game sense and knowledge? Did you forget Gods or Jake?
Only difference is their streams aren't as familiarized to casuals as Gull's
And not being the first
Top 500 email
OWL 1st August Signing
Contenders
Eventually OW Open
Too much ways to get involved
OW Open 2 


Guess top 500 email gives higher priority while choosing a player
But the 1st August signing kinda makes it pointless
I mean there's gonna be <100 pros in s1 so a lot of established pros won't be in let alone random people in top 500
Email is pretty irrelevant for now
Team will increase and most likely they will get 7 or max 8 players each
I mean thats why I was generous with 100
Prestige stuff have low numbers
You have to seriously grind the ladder and being lucky
12 x 7 = 84 
I mean idk how many spots there will be, regardless many actual pro players will be available
As ppl pointed out, dunno if that includes coach and analyst
What the 12 player thing?
Yes
Id assume that's players thats what it says
Plus I doubt you're seeing any teams with close to 12 players anyway
Especially with those minimum salaries
But coach is needed
Coach has nothing to do with 12 players
Stuff like minimum player salaries and max roster size doesn't pertain to coaches
look at Alicus
Unless you are kraft and 50k are pennies for him
$1 isn't a lot to me but I wouldn't throw away a dollar
New England Laser Kittenz 
12 man roster is unnecessary anyway
At least 4 of them will literally never play
And wouldn't get real scrim time
In real sports theres the element of fatigue and greater injury risk that makes a good rotation essential
also stuff like sub-18
Esport too 
Especially American football and basketball
Also in other sports you have a minimum roster size
For OWL you just need the 6
Most teams will have a sub or 2 but doubt you see much more outside of maybe one team
People are seriously complaining about the 50k salary?
I fucking take 1/3 of that working in a factory
It state also "minimum" not average
I think some people just see 50k and don't think its extremely high without remembering 1. There's a bunch of benefits, free housing and prize pools and 2. Its the minimum
And they are playing videogames, how cruel!they needs more money π /s
Most likely will be more than 50k, depends how successful the team will be
Eh I've never liked the theyre playing videogames argument as an excuse same way with people who complain how much traditional athletes are played but yeah there's literally no negatives to the news yesterday it's very nice
3.5M pool between what maybe 10 teams? When at least 50% has to go to players is more money too
Especially if you do well wew
who the fuck is complaining about 50k
the players will literally be paying for like nothing
Most aren't probably some reddit people
They're idiots anyway
I mean most pros don't have a fucking paycheck right now with everyone and their mother getting dropped lol they sure as hell aren't complaining
i mean this is a lot that they get
I know it's just a minimum salary, but 50K per year does seem rather small, esp compared to unfranchised LCS. 3.5M prizepool is fat, though.
I've to remember why i follow harsha tbh
wtf
I mean LCS min salary is 75k and they get 33% of revenue from like the team items sales unlike OWL where they get none but still 50k with benefits and that pool is naisu
And he literally said its not bad at all he just thought it'd be higher than LCS
Jfc
I don't think he said anything unfair
RiP
I've gotten like probably almost 10 XP penalties within the last 2-3 weeks because I keep leaving fucking shit QP games
And I don't even give a fuck at this point
Same
Arcade is trash
And I've everything i want
I play the game not for the skins
MVP Infinity disbanded
π―
I know easybro, Climax and one of their tanks left already
so I guess not too surprising
So one more to the bingo?
"owl killed another team" 
MVP Infinity arent on the bingo card
well time to expand it
Just stick a square in one side and done
thats not how bingo works
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
scrambling away and replacing is a legit bingo strat!
^
nope
i dont care about kr
probably not
KR bingo 
Dead game?
Fucking hell what the fuck is up with the servers today
Like only 1-2 out of 10 QP I tried have proper ping <20ms
Patch day
Right, they say it's Thursday but how are they doing it if they don't go offline? Or when?
Like why not just put the servers on down time and notify as usual like Tuesday maintenance, I'd rather find the game completely offline for several hours than getting utter shit 200-300ms servers at nearly every attempt
owl news on front page on /r/ow 
when it involves cash it usually ends up on /r/ow
Comments were as expected
Some people saying 50k is nothing
Some saying they're salty they need to work a real job while some dudes get 50k for playing a game
yeah ikr
want to live in US lol
as i said, mine is 1/3
yeah, people will always be salty and trashtalk OWL when possible
expect some thoorin twitt or richard lewis shittalk soon
lol same
Seija practicing for OWL 
Top 10 Genji main for LA spot in 2145 here we go bois
reddit commenters are just youtube commenters that think they have legitimacy
Discord commenters are just Reddit commenters that think they have legitimacy 
this applies to pretty much every community everywhere
yeah im done forcing myself to play OW, see you guys in a few months hopefully
Next tweet says he's going to start streaming cs
How many people are sick from the World Cup was there some giant orgy I wasn't invited to? Wtf guys?


Top10 here i come with doomfist
Cant wait for doom fist to be like genji for seagull
Reading through the comments from a video by a gm sombra and people are comparing her being a support to Soldier being a support because of his biotic field to try to prove that sombra isn't a support. kms
To be fair people in ranked use her like a soldier biotic field
Occasionally grab the health pack
In QP she is so OP cause she can get all the hp packs when we dont have a healer
Well i guess that's true
And with a team that knows wtf is going on she is pretty good
Find a good spot to farm emp with ur team
Actually that might be a brilliant idea
I already know the small cave on the left on route 66
Just stay there poke and farm emp
Get emp in like 30 seconds
I've only seen that work in a few games
I bet in comp it would work ez
It felt so dumb though
Because they were camping there with dive
Can't jump or anything down there
He is not a tank tho
I doubt doomfist can combo a genji
Probably not
I really wish his abilities were aoe
Like if 3 ppl were next to each other against a wall he can 1 shot all three witj one punch
I am probably one of the few ppl if not the only one that think doomfist is probably gonna be weak
@clever portal that's what would separate good Doomfists from great Doomfists
This makes me moist
reddit is weird
like the whole AZK business
only ESL unbanned him while other major tournament organizers still upholding the ban
and all the critters were like "good for him, CSGO has better future than OW anyway"
literally after hours from the OWL announcement
and of course there were idiots who are like "even shitty NA team get paid 6 figures too!"
completely out of their asses

Csgo has a better future

well see
Wait what the fuck?
what?
I still don't get what's happening today with the live client

I mean theres an update in like 4 hours
maybe thatll fix whatever your problems are idk

Lucas "Mendokusaii" Hakansson reveals to us why he thinks EnvyUs is the number one Overwatch team in the world right now.

It says a fuck ton that the world's best Reinhardts have 0 hr on him in tournaments

Sojum pls
sakurasou avi and in japan 
Weeb
Vacation
Ah nice where are you staying
In Osaka currently
Went to see the whale shark today
Soooo beautiful
but maybe too off topic
Ah nice never went to see that
fuck the topic tell us about weab shark
weab

There were 2
You could watch from a lot of different spots
I sat at a bench in front of the glass
You should visit if you're in Osaka
Hmmm
Black person in Japan 
This is their first official match?
2easy 
I guess Team Netherland just want to show off their dicks to everyone
i want π¨π¦ dicks 
Top 2 of groups advance right?
To the playoff, then 1 seed faces 2 seed on opposite group and only the winners of those 2 matches go to Blizzcon
nope
thats what happened to Japan
won their group and lost to Aus
thats kinda what I think will happen in the LA qualifier as well

Want to make $50K a year? All 30 million-plus Overwatch players are free agents for the @overwatchleague. https://t.co/r5l4MzMlHx
This fucking headline

when did they go from 75k to 30 million narrative?
Japan is out already, fuck
It was in the official statement
Did they bring another stream team?
"as of today, consider all 30 million overwatch players free agents"
Something along those lines
next they will say all 7 billion people on earth are free agents
So Vivi's, netherlands and helsinki red in todays legend series group, who do you think is getting to playoffs?
As long as Doomfist gets some playtime I'm good
This team is supposed to beat KR lol
???
Well they just need to beat someone from the other group
If the players have that mentality they won't get anywhere, of course they should play every match to win
btw are skins allowed again?
nah. More like this tournament is low enough that they don't have to accept Blizzard's retarded guideline
and also Reds completed Numbani with 3+ minutes left 
@clever portal I know it was in the statement, but it was purposefully manipulated to make it sound even worse
But oh well, it was poorly worded in the statement anyway
Media being media I guess
Damn
Sulli stop hating
Some promising Genji play
I hate whenever I want to Oreo, shut up
Dante is my husbando
AKTM 
@pine star grumpy old man
Bodypillow owning weeb
Another Genji succ smh
No Genji hate
He's been my favorite after D.Va since the beginning >_>
Just look at the % difference between Viz and Exceed

nvm lol
Who's ready for the stream to die when the patch comes out?
Solid win
TwoEasy too op
I'm a free agent
Chill no kill game throwing emotes at the point?
I hope so lol
@clever portal English stream?
Yes, English
Not the best casting, but get to see NL and Vivi play
Overlay on top of screen is actually pretty neat though
its usually 2ET
Lmao
Don't these guys know about it though
Also, current sens at 800/8, Genji/Tracer at 800/9
Also, this isn't as much play by play casting as it is on the fly analysis
Lol
Fine by me though
Vivi too strong 
Was dropped feelsbadman
Oreo will be benched for Dafran
Gladly
