Team soul buys LWB and LH1 main roster and got a complete 12 man squad ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

Did LWB buy Mano to have him for team seoul ๐Ÿค”

red anvil

๐Ÿคฆ

toxic yacht
#

I literally posted that a few messages up FeelsRageMan

smoky hinge
red anvil
#

The guy had 96% winrate in competitive

#

ofc its gone be super easy for him

balmy wolf
#

Which match so far had a Mei in world cup 17?

red anvil
#

uh we saw her a few times, i forgot exactly which though

#

Someone brought her out on point A lunar defense, and someone brought her out on start of dorado defense

balmy wolf
#

Which stage is it?

balmy wolf
#

Anyone know what keyboard and mouse the players are using in World Cup?

distant dust
balmy wolf
#

So in OW World Cup, they use a Logitech G Pro Tenkeyless?

#

And a G Pro mouse?

smoky hinge
#

Every player brings in thier own KB/M

#

just go check out the player's own twitch page or something, they usually have thier setup listed there

red anvil
#

they bring there own K, M and earbuds

balmy wolf
#

I only remember seeing Logitech G Pro keyboard

#

and they all wear same headphone so....

fresh arrow
#

keyboards and mouses are different

red anvil
#

lots of them use G pros because easy to move around with

fresh arrow
#

headsets appear to be provided

red anvil
#

and yes headsets are provided because they need to be isolating

#

also Logitech like sponsoring teams

#

Remeber unlike Apex, they are sitting in same room as the crowd so they can hear what the announcers say without white noise

#

i feel sorry for them having to play with earbuds tho, rip sound

balmy wolf
#

You mentioned they wear headset then move on to say they play with earbuds, well, which one is it?

clever portal
#

Earbuds

#

Headsets are white noise

balmy wolf
#

How does one wear earbud and headset at the same time

red anvil
#

earbuds inside the headset

opaque owl
#

first step: put on small headphones

#

step 2: put bigger headphones on top

balmy wolf
#

In my experience, they're easy to fall out of your ear if you wear a headset on top

#

Considering the cup is pressing against the wire

red anvil
#

that just depends on the headset cup size

wary falcon
#

Txao (russian d.va) about SBB (korean tracer) - not a strong but average good tier tracer, nothing outstanding

clever portal
balmy wolf
#

Why do they use G Pro mouse lol

#

When they can use like G903

red anvil
#

the russian D.va who did absoultly noting tracerkek

balmy wolf
#

or G502

red anvil
#

the G502 and G900 are both heavy mice

balmy wolf
#

Pros all like light mices?

red anvil
#

more or less yeah

wary falcon
#

they like good mices

red anvil
#

they got the same internal stuff

#

just the weight for comfort or speed that is the thing

wary falcon
#

Logitech G-series and Zowie are best atm

red anvil
#

i will probably go for G403 wired or wireless next

balmy wolf
#

G502 Master Race

red anvil
#

i got G502, heavy

#

but nice comfort

balmy wolf
#

Strange, I dont find it heavy at all

wary falcon
#

G403 is light for me

red anvil
#

thats because you havent tried light mouses

balmy wolf
#

Is there any player that uses G502?

#

Or G903?

red anvil
#

Knox, Spree, RJH

#

Miro

#

so typical offtanks

#

except RJH being RJH and RJH is a wierdo

spring lintel
#

Why does everyone think flash wolves got a chance against SK?

#

Saw some vods of them and they are normal

red anvil
#

for same reason some think france, usa and insert name here got a chance

bronze minnow
#

i got the g602

#

i think

#

yeah it's the g602

red anvil
#

thats a wierd office word mice

#

@toxic yacht You think flame is the best analyst?

#

I mean, I guess there really isn't anyone else, I found him really underwhelming compared to the way people were hyping him up.

toxic yacht
#

I wouldn't call him mega fucking amazing or anything, but he's kind of the only thing we have in the west atm

true tide
#

Yeah, that's fair. He's the only one really consistently doing it.

clever portal
#

He needs to work on his communication

true tide
#

He really does. "Yeah that sucks, I don't know why they would do that."

#

I could read twitch chat for that pro level insight. I want more.

clever portal
#

He's not casual friendly at all

#

He needs to work on that

#

And have less filler like "I don't know why you would do that"

true tide
#

Yep.

#

He was better in Sydney, though he was clearly terrified the first day.

clever portal
#

Hoping Soe gets gud o3o

true tide
#

Soe is the perfect mix of analyst and hype happiness bomb. I love her.

toxic yacht
#

yeah, he rarely goes super in depth about what hes seeing, feel like it's because he kind of already understands all of it and doesn't really feel the need to explain it

true tide
#

True. Monte's vod review thing he did, was just so good. That's what I'd like to see from Flame. It doesn't have to be a whole match, just pick out a great fight and tell us why it worked so well.

#

Maybe that's why he struggles? He tries to do the whole match and gets tired?

toxic yacht
#

his style may be one of the reasons, actually

#

since he watches the entire match and just talks over it, it's hard to go really in-depth about specific things

true tide
#

That makes sense.

toxic yacht
#

the moments where he really shines imo are when he actually breaks down a teamfight

#

like, pauses it, rewinds it around and just instantly recognizes everything what's happening although he's actually seeing it for the first time

#

but yeah, I'd be interested in how he'd do if he'd just break down individual moments instead of whole matches

true tide
#

That would be honestly less tedious. Some people excel at the whole match, some don't.

#

Personally, I prefer it if it's players commentating on their play, to let us know what they were thinking if it was planned or a misplay.

clever wagon
#

Geez, what the fuck is up with LW all of a sudden

#

Also, aren't there moments of PapaSmithy having some of the sharper breakdowns of a play on the fly compared to other casters?

vernal obsidian
#

I have no idea who LW is so they're probably not good.

clever wagon
#

Thankfully your idea doesn't matter a tiny bit

vernal obsidian
#

ikr

clever wagon
#

Neither do you as an individual

vernal obsidian
#

ye

clever wagon
#

@red anvil Also Kaku RJH is using a G402, not 502

#

They're terribly similar and I also thought he was using a 502 but the spec listing on his Twitch apparently says it's a 402

#

Unless he already bought a 502 since I saw that...

red anvil
#

he swapped to g502

clever wagon
#

Heh

#

Well, I'm happy I'm using the same mouse

true tide
#

LW is a mess.

clever wagon
#

Not that actually boosted me to t500 FeelsEmoji ๐Ÿ”ซ

true tide
#

My heart goes out to Luna T_T

clever wagon
#

Luna and Adios now btw

red anvil
#

had a good time in poland at least?

true tide
#

I hope it was just some tragic coincidence, not that they did it so late so he couldn't find a team.

clever wagon
#

Adios was kicked from LW Red after making it to 1st league (APEX LAN?) in the same manner as Luna did

true tide
#

POLAND WAS SO F'KN LIT OMG. I'm having trouble readjusting back to work.

red anvil
#

haha, good to hear ๐Ÿ˜„

clever wagon
#

Notified of not making it into the roster on the final day of submission

true tide
#

Not just final day, literally hours before, in the early morning, when the other teams have locked rosters.

#

What a dick move.

clever wagon
#

2x of the same way a player is kicked off the org in a very close time window

red anvil
#

such a shit move

clever wagon
#

I think the fans of their players might as well start calling them out on it

true tide
#

They already are apparently.

clever wagon
#

Even Flower himself was ๐Ÿค”

red anvil
#

hope the theories from certain other discords are correct

#

LH is bought along with SBB

#

and possibly flower

clever wagon
#

Good, the latest reddit thread hasn't told me what the fans are up to

#

Bought by? @red anvil

true tide
#

Lunatic - Hai?

#

For OWL?

red anvil
#

Team Soul

#

so OWL yeah

clever wagon
#

Shit

red anvil
#

its a theory still but it's viable

clever wagon
#

I'm still wishing SKT name would make it into OW somehow...

#

Imagine how big of a fanbase would buy into it

#

Well, if the state of the game itself is ready, that is

#

Right, and the Seoul spot is owned by Kabam

#

So definitely not SKT as of now

he's on KDP

Luffy is on Uncia

toxic yacht
#

trying out luna for KDP?

clever portal
#

Could be an option

#

Imo Luna isn't exactly an upgrade

#

But maybe he fits in better

solid spear
#

I don't think so either

#

Luna was kind of throwing when we last saw him

clever portal
#

But KR is basicallly RJH >>>>>> anyone else

#

Lucid is a god

pine star
#

Uncia is basically Panthera's bench LUL

toxic yacht
#

luna was only throwing with nanos

#

imo

#

in S2 he used nano very defensively

#

which often led to him throwing them

#

on a dying target

#

and surprise, the target died

#

lol

#

I still don't understand why KDU cut lucid

#

probably something not related to his skill

Reminder that investment doesn't 100% mean OWL

nV seems pretty invested in OW atm, as opposed to liquid whose roster went to shit at a time when OW was super unstable

balmy wolf
#

fucking quake

toxic yacht

the roster doesn't seem to be disolving anytime soon, they got invited to korea 3 times, are a top NA team and got a free contenders spot

except the org has decided that OWL sux

but I kinda doubt it

well, there was the rumours that NV were seen as separate players

That tilts me so hard. "Well I have gold damage!"

I wish ranked had a scoreboard. I see why they didn't implement one, but I wish they had one.

red anvil
#

i'm glad they dident

toxic yacht
#

I hate people using medals as an argument, it's like, zen complains about gold damage and elims, but he plays like a dps and dies and fucks over the entire team, rein plays like a dps and gets gold medals while fuckign everyone over, but somehow it's the dps' fault. The dps has gold damage, so he's obviously perfect (yeah, totally not like you're supposed to have those because you literally only deal damage)

#

like, raaaa

#

people are so retarded

true tide
#

Honestly, it tilts me so hard when people use medals to justify their shitty play.

toxic yacht
#

or when dva, hog or zarya complain about gold damge

red anvil
#

for instance i main tracer, but i play tracer to win a fight rather then just trying to kill everyone like a mental retard

toxic yacht
#

nono, dva whines about gold elims

#

because her shotguns hits everything on the screen

red anvil
#

sure i wont have gold damage or gold elims, but i sure will have a victory

toxic yacht
#

but like

#

stats gathering in OW

#

is so bad

#

I would never use stats to judge a team

#

like, even if it's only secondary

#

there is so much information missing in them

red anvil
#

me neither, but people look on numbers thinking they mean something they do not

toxic yacht

you're better off just watching vods without trying to tie stats to them

red anvil
#

if you look on LH's K/D's to any other team, you see they play way differently

true tide
#

I support main, and it's useful to know who to focus healing on if no-one is talking. But I guess, the it's just better to get people talking.

red anvil
#

Miro will always have all the kills, but do that mean he do the most dps?

#

obviously not

true tide
#

Right.

toxic yacht
#

pls, we all know that tobi has gold damage and the most kills

true tide
#

They all work to make sure he can do his part.

#

I just wish people would play ranked with a team mentality.

red anvil
#

Tobis a god like player who never dies, and have a infinite K/D ratio

toxic yacht
#

whenever LH has a boostio

#

it's actually on purpose

true tide
#

Instead of this DPS must shine, fuck you I have gold damage, why aren't you healing me exclusively even though I'm balls deep in their back line?

clever portal
#

Winston's labs LUL

#

It doesn't have shit

#

Not even gold damage

#

They literally have people watching the games looking at the kill feed

#

Maybe with full stats you could make an argument

#

For example another player has 1k more healing on average and higher accuracy

#

You could say they're an upgrade on paper

clever wagon
#

Well, LW done and got themselves burned by the fans already, esp after that damage control? How's that looking for them?

We need to have our conspiracy here stat

balmy wolf
#

WizardHyeong. Remember him? At one point he interviewed me for his job as an assistant

He mainly coaches by using Sabermetrics

my job was basically just watch vods and accumulates statistics

too bad he never follow up on the interview but yeah

ENCE vs KGSZL now then Singularity vs Vivi's Adventure

clever portal
#

KGSZL have the best logo after FNRGFE

#

wintry matrix
#

what stranges me more about the LW situation is how dumb it is

#

like, why the hell go to problem of having a small revenge (which Luna still will get to a team anyway, maybe with a bit less of practice than otherwise), and the whole "based on stats" which prob even plats know there's way more than that to a player's skill

#

on other news i guess Taimou already hates the game again

solid spear
#

That's a shame since DF just came out and hes a fun, well balanced hero :/

#

Hopefully Taimou will be happy again soon since he has to play in contenders next week :)

wintry matrix
clever portal
#

Imo the whole LW situation was just unprofessional

#

They were probably considering replacing him

#

And decided on it at 4 am on the day before the deadline

#

Probably without malice

red anvil
#

Seems there been some internal drama

#

We'll see

clever portal
#

The 'statement' is apparently coming soon

#

But you already posted what it'll probably be

wintry matrix
#

btw, what's the rewards for ranked in games like csgo and lol?

red anvil
#

Yep was more curious what flower would bring forward

#

And nothing as far as im aware

wary falcon
#

ranked in games like csgo

150 wins = Overwatch (you will have ability to review cases of suspected cheaters/griefers)

balmy wolf
#

@wintry matrix third party ladder has better wins than the in game

#

like FPL, for example

#

where you can actually qualify for semi pro plays

#

and also you can convert those points you accumulate in FPL into real world reward as well

wary falcon
#

so a lot of people use cheats to earn money on faceit

wintry matrix
#

winning real money seems weird

thick cosmos
#

Vivi's vs Singularity now soon

balmy wolf
#

real world money is secondary for a chance to get into premier

wintry matrix
#

yeah, but that's only for top 500. maybe some gms

balmy wolf
#

just like it should work

wintry matrix
#

what's the incentive for lower ranks then?

balmy wolf
#

faceit is only use for people who wants to grind to begins with

#

so most of the time they all has the same goal

#

get into master league

#

and then try to qualify for challenger

#

and 2 from challenger will get to pro

clever portal
#

The incentive should be your competitiveness and wanting to get more challenging games at higher ranks mercypls

wintry matrix
#

i guess what at happens at OW is that maybe people who don't have that mindset don't get punished

balmy wolf
#

or rather, a chance of getting pluck into the pro scene

wintry matrix
#

which is kinda weird to me that people will just go on toxic auto-pilot in comp

balmy wolf
#

since FPL is basically where teams look for ladder stars to develop and recruit

blazing parrot

i know this isnt really related to overwatch

but its a good analysis of luck-skill and competitiveness

@supple nymph he's still the GM

blazing parrot
supple nymph

i guess i look at it as the coach doing the analysis

and making a recomendation

#

so while the GM makes the final decision all the data he has is from the coach

#

is that not how it works?

solid spear
#

Idk specifics it likely varies from team to team

blazing parrot
supple nymph
#

like a regular company you have a hiring manager but the ultimate decision might be by the CEO

blazing parrot

im sure

supple nymph

but all he has to go off of is the hiring manager's input

brady can pick up the reins

he wont have trouble

I wouldn't be sure of that

He knows the players

He'll probably take the ones he likes

spring lintel
#

Sinatraa as a sub

#

Iddqd and sinatraa fill the same role

solid spear
#

eh

#

not exactly

#

Sinatraa can actually play some projectile and possibly DF while Idd is clearly better than Sin on hitscan that isnt Tracer

#

I mean Sinatraa isnt trialing with them as of now anyway so thats just speculation based on the coach

spring lintel
#

If sinatraa can play good projectiles hero then it's good

#

But imo he is not that good with projectile heroes. With their money they can get better

solid spear
#

I mean thats why theyre trialing traditional projectile players and not Sin

#

but in theory it could work I think

whether theyd actually mesh in practice I could never predict

well guys like Nesh and Mendo have a huge pool and are free (Mendo technically under contract but ye) if thats specifically what they were looking for

Seagull fits perfectly for that role

It is highly unlikely Seagull ends up back on NRG

Hopefully he gets back if he is not rusty

#

Yeah, he probably won't.

clever portal
#

He would be good for popularity

spring lintel
#

But it's weird cause I don't think he will find an OWL team

solid spear
#

I think he will mainly because him being on your team ensures you will be quite popular even if you arent particularly good

#

which has value

#

hes by far the most popular OW player despite having not played professionally in all of 2017

he said "hell yeah" when someone asked if hed play in OWL

I dont think he said anything more specific than that

#

I know Seamoose said back when he was coach that they were building with the assumption that Seagull wouldnt be on the team but they would love to have him back

clever portal

That's a PR answer

#

Ofc you build assuming he's not coming back

toxic yacht

he said that he's going to play

didn't specificy which team, lul

oh, weeabooman just said that

anyway, seagull is like, the most popular pro player by a really fucking large margin, I doubt that NRG wants to lose him, lul

solid spear

theyd prefer to keep him if possible

I'm assuming that they've been trying to build the roster with him in mind since he said that he's gonna play again

also, tviq knows about who's gonna replace movi in contenders, he can't really talk about it though
