brazil stomping cantus
Back to playing Zelda ๐
inb4 it's close
Yeah, skipping
Real sport starts in 1 hour and a half
Brazil 4-0 NZ in pointless gane
As if "close match" matters lul
All NZ games are pointless tbh
NZ was so boring
Why are they advertising Horizon, it's been out for ages at this point
We dont know brackets yet
Taiwan vs UK LUL
they need to advertise some OW content and don't have other stuff? ๐คท
Jake even said the graphic was a placeholder
They werent getting rolled hard enough for it to be fun, they were being rolled in a boring way.
A contenders ad would've been nice with that being soon
They are advertising everything
So people can watch even more OW
Why would they repeat Df ad every second
so can you guys clear up a noob question for me
DF at Contenders 
RIP 
What's the difference between Contenders, the OWL, and the World Cup
How do they intersect
World cup is completely seperate
Open Division -> Contenders -> OWL
because I've become increasingly confused by it
did USA qualify already to blizzcon?
just some fun stuff that's not really worth anything
World Cup is its own thing
okay, so contenders is how you show your stuff to get into OWL
Contenders is the poor man OwL
vs germany
World Cup is just a thing
ok USA qualifed
OWL is the real deal where u get yearly contracts and money

so Germany vs US and UK vs Taiwan?
yup

Probably skip that but try to wake up for playoffs
now who will throw harder, NZ or BRA
Brazil are gonna win and do a bit of BM acting smug
even as the US All Stars won against Taiwan, don't think it was decisive enough that we can at least think that US can take a map off of SK
I'm thinking I'll just chill til playoff matches
from reading, a lot of it seems to boil down to clutch situations.
I think they might get lucky and get a single map.
oh yeah I think US would need to effortlessly 4-0 Taiwan to have a chance of taking a map off SK
Can't clutch all the time tho
At least they have a chance
the whole match was anything but effortless
Blizzcon is far enough away that I'll worry about it closer to then
Meta (might) be different
even if you taking account new meta
inb4 UK throw vs germany to face US for the bants
the problem is if the meta becomes Junkrat Flow3r is gonna roll
every role on paper is superior
of course if Kyky can coach them to be able to beat SK, then I will happily eat some crows
but for now, given how hard US has to fight for this 3-1 win, it seems unlikely
and
is the equivalent of a mid tier APEX team
so how's the South Korea team compare against LH or KDP or other top-tier APEX teams? Better because of combined talent, or worse because of less practice as as team?
probably slightly worse than LH/KDP
did a team play before nz and brazil?
What was the team that was in APEX and got knocked out by KDP and LH? Frogue?
If SK is genuinely worse than them then Frogue could have a chance
@nova wadi yeah US just played Taiwan
did taiwan win?
US won 3-1
owh
Dudu doing his best Soon impression again
I mean depends on how Rogue does in 
since there's rumors that Kolsti has been playing with them
as main tank no less
I'm also really scared of their lack of a dedicated projectile DPS
who knows what the blizzcon meta will be
SK fighting!
could really fuck them up later
Taimou thinks IMT is better than them although that may be more of an IMT thing and rogue has that clutch factor in tournaments
no twitch emotes
huh
pls
some are banned on this server
I thought I was having a stroke or something
lmao
is there a reason?
to avoid twitch-like spam or some shit
Too spammy
just need to get
as their bench.
especially in places like #general-discussion
alrighty then
Okay for real though, anyone know what Seagull's actually doing. Are the rumors that he's scrimming to be on a new NRG roster true?
Hidan already going back to Misfits 
AFAIK he's gone completely off the grid
Yeah he has disappeared, I assume he is scrimming with some OWL team
but yeah, I still put my money on rogue out of principal and because SK is gonna be too busy scrimming for apex on their own teams
@solid spear with Reinforce out, that might be more realistic
mind you, APEX literally change this season's schedule so that Team SK can actually get some prepare time for World Cup
so even that is not guarantee
also, I don't agree with taimou about IMT being better
then again
we will see
he has more insight
than me right now
lulz
Well he said recently
rip trans
Hes scrimming these teams so I find it interesting at least
Even if hes wrong
scrimbux
Yeah plus like I said
Scrims matters 
Kewl self destruct
IMT also only came close to reverse sweeping them
i think IMT can definetely level up to beat rogue
yeah, they were already somewhat close
scrims only matter if you stream them ๐
Rogue's mental game is like 11. They probably has most record for most reverse sweep in the history of OW
are you talking scrims results or the content of scrims?
scrim results.
you can lost all the scrims you wants but if you win tournaments then who cares
they don't
doesn't stop NA teams from thinking winning in scrim = good
I mean idk he was saying they were beating them in scrims just he thought they were better
Even without that comment
literally had a team that smashed us back to back in a scrim block. Then the tournament after we beat them
๐ค
Most people would agree theyre obviously close
ill def be more than happy to see IMT win rogue
mind you, winning in scrims can actually be detrimental
You don't wanna see Corndoggo win wow
because who would have thought team that has the sense to study why they lost and has a coach to look over it has the means to figure out how to play
Seagull for the Boston team ๐
I think he lives in LA but I want him in Boston so I can root for him
the best timeline would be IMT and Cornodogg winning rogue
nah Kraft is already in the process of poaching

Seagull lives in Washington
west coast I guess
you mean Miku weeb?
he only likes Miku
btw
slightly NSFW https://9gag.com/gag/aDzgrG9?ref=fb.s.mw
Miku is great

E S P O R T S
I love esports 
whos playing right now?
NZ vs Brazil
USA beat Taiwan 
yep 
lol @TAG_ME_IF_CANTUS_DIES
dad jokes...
inb4 blizz bans everyone tagging him again because they do not understand what fun us
or do they think that you could actually have anything but fun spam in twitch chat?
/r/dankmemes is getting normified too
r/dankmemes is slightly less cancer
the only reason it was a 9gag link is because i cba to find the source
you are excused because i like u
are you reignwolf's brother?
wow noah 
that reinforce sign lmao
expect taiwan to get qualified btw
I think theyll beat UK still
man
Nahhhhh
I could be wrong though
I'm gonna be seeing reinforce later

F
he was the fucking strong
and half the reason why I'm a misfits fan
unforunate for him not that I ever liked the team anyway but hope he and many other LFT pros ultimately find their way onto rosters
Rick and Morty reference 
at least Reinforce could wind up being a caster too
lol Warhammer 40K reference
i tuned in just now and Brazil gave a map to NZ
Btw

CoD has 90k views
COD world championship?
Ded game lul
link?
group final or world final?
oh grand final
600K for first place
and 1.5 million prize pool
viewership will go up for this game if they start advertising it more, and when theres a new meta
well, NZ x BRa is expected to be low viewership
both didn't qualify already and gave bad performances
i couldnt even watch my own countries games because watching the same 8 heroes being played is boring af
again with dae ow ded ? ๐คฆ
Same 8 ?
yes 8
@rapid oxide game is kill 
(i guess you could say 9 if you include sombra, and 11 if you wanna include pharmercy which hardly shows up. and i dont count sk's games where almost everyone is played)
winston jumps hard
heh
poor cantus ๐ฆ
how
I'm no longer part of @123Overwatch, looking for a team as DPS, retweets appreciated :^)
๐ค
123 almost walk the Royal Road with their roster and now 2 of them already quit their roster
๐ค
Mistakes D:
123 wtf
who was the one that leave the team earlier in the year?
Kodak
Haffi in, mistakes out
Kodak
Rip 123
Do you think TheLawEsports can pick up some of these FA? ๐
Maybe as a sub we have Baaam
Who are thelawesports


Where will we have our OWL spot?
Cod get most of their viewers from the in game client, it is smooth as fuck
You can queue for a game while watching esport live
Idk if I can get Antarctica for cheaper thats probably where were heading
i wish we had that
That is smooth
Dont worry tara some day, we will get picked up.
cs lets you watch in the game too
I am trying to save money for the spot 
When is Germany vs uk starting, on mobile rn?
Thank mr tara
in 5-7 min
Thanks strong stewart
Mr 
I missed the #esportsdiscussion memes
i thought we're still doing these
Good times
I am gonna make the law happen
One penny at a time
Thanks tara, that was inspirational
Anytime
You got that soe pictures we talked about ?
PLS
Mr Tara ๐
haHAA

._.
Yeah nice
Naisu
HI!
That Zen kill tho
can someone explain the cantus meme?
he became rank 1 by abusing some systems
Yeah i dont know it either
like queing at 3 am and facing diamonds
Seems like it's similar to arhan and esca
How is it abusing the system?
yes, but Evermored isn't memed bc he showed he has true skill
he was on Kongdoo Panthera
Is cantus shit?
Six stacking early in the morning so you play as a team of GM vs plat
he's clearly not good enough to be rank 1
aww, that's nice
Reinforceee ๐ญ โค
http://imgur.com/a/37BdE Through the power of friendship I have successfully climbed the ranked ladder to number one. I really enjoyed playing...
first comment
genji needs healing ๐
Indeed, those are some of our server regulars in the comments ๐
is that a pro genji
llul

Veineless 
soe 
Let's go champ!
Who's soe? I only know tracer

How do you get the screencaps so quick? I need to know the secret
๐
woah
Sojum is a pro screenshotter
you crazy?
Stylosa's coaching them
germany are beasts
UK needs 2 map wins to secure first place
we shall see
That was quick

Contenders reference 

close game
^
i can see it going either way 
They're kinda crushing now though
he missed the hp
are you kidding
lul
germany is destroying uk rn
It's all part of Germany's plan
lmao
Well then
rip germany ๐ฆ
germany will win in the end xd
i want germany to win though
EZ game
hey I'm back, what's been happening
yeah just 2
england? 
Germany would haveto 3-1 them which is 
tbh anyone place GER landed wouldn't great
Nobody defending well right now geez
you'd have to face either a USA on the roll or Flash Wolves
It's weird
WOO
nice dash
ahran ult
from crnkz
Yeah
Why didnt crankz dash instantly after the slash
Btw, why would he bait the boop
When he can one shot
Lucio had 30hp off
Before crankz pulled the blade
I doubt it, it's very basic genji stuff. I thought maybe lucio got healed?
Poor crnkz
rip germoney 
Why did blizzard make cp best of 3?
because it's fairer
How?
Ohhh
best of 5 takes too long
so technically you're making the result random
"kruise taken out"
you mean crnkz
heking monte
UK op
crnkz has good aim
Yep
Crnkz is fucking good
LUL
Does he play in a team?
HOOOOO
Germany should have disengaged long ago
fack
RIP Deutschland
germany 
WOOOO
Thrown 2nd map lul
BLIZZCON HERE WE COME
1st seed locked up now
6 people can kill a DVa lul
Mobile, I wanted to say can't
Na production 
holy fuck this drawing
that junkrat sign ๐

Hey that's pretty good
Stylosa taught them well
Ghost slash isnt possible in custom games with infinite dashes
Kruise looks like a guy i knew in school years ago
You have to get a kill mid dash and get the reset mid dash
lolol
I heard USA in there
lol stupid people in twitch chat saying "EU teeth"... sorry to bust your bubble, but it is US white teeth which is unnatural
Get a voice clip and raise the pitch
Is he shit talking us?
Then you'll understand
Kruise looks like that one guy from school
4700 SR
NOTTINGHAMSHIRE WOOOOOOOOOOO
That high
"pick hanzo XD"
don't take chat's EU TEETH LUL spam too seriously, chat is constantly embroiled in a region war
Whats wrong with hanzo 
there was a union jack sign without the north ireland cross
Region wars are the best
nah, i am just pointing out "EU teeth" is what is normal ๐
You just wait until Blizzcon
still one of my favourite pastas
All rogue players grinded for years in EU and then went to stomp NA. Suddenly NA think they created monsters. lol. NA is region of bitches. They will bend to the strongest. Praise the french praise the eu. You trashcans cant even produce god tier players
spammed that during takeover 2
it caught on for a short time
How rude!
Wew toxic
hulk pls
Mhmm
lul
I'm honestly surprised at how much zero gravity gameplay we've gotten
LUL
My dad beats me FeelsSadMan My mom beats me FeelsSadMan My brother beats me FeelsSadMan My sister beats me FeelsSadMan At least I feel safe with germany, they donโt beat anyone FeelsGreatMan
eiss bully
Noukky did said that Team Germany is weak due to no dedicated off tank
oh no
Oh shit I thought it was an actual penis
rip dva
No surprise there
wait, re-engage?
And lol Ehloanna. My gurl right there

Dat self-destruct angle
it's kinda relaxing to watch a game where I don't have a side picked
why did they use both support ults at once
I just get to watch the memes play out

so how good are UK anyways? Haven't heard much about them
Pretty good
germany will just add fee for this loss to the brexit bill ๐
comparable to what other teams?
The good thing about living in a shit region that's not represented in the WC is that I don't have side picked for any match

Biscuits op
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
rip
C9 ?
yes
They literally just didn't walk on point

Man the tilt is real
The c9 is an obligation at this point
LUL
โ 9โฃ
guys what do i do if im banned from playoverwatch twitch and i dont even know why
perm i think

Who will UK go against?
i literally dont remember writing anything
Taiwan?
Plebs using a cloud and a 9
I got banned for 600 seconds for memeing because mods are nazi
i cant clip
Banned from were?
wtf
Posted a copypasta about Taiwan eliminated
rip
Twitch chat?
got banned from the playOW chat for 10 mins
twitch chat
lol
That pasta flooded the chat
anyone with a sense of humour gets banned by nazo blizzard mods
anyway Tom maybe you can DM one of the mods in the channel or something?
mods all blocked whispers cant even ask for a reason feelsbadman
No mods here 
I remember it, it was so sudden
I just check chat when something really memey happens in the game
uncleswagg only one who responds but he said he cant help
tbh better they have Nazi mods than the missing mods from earlier where the racist copypasta ran wild and the mods were asleep
chat mods don't understand twitch chat feelsdumman
Otherwise I close it
or maybe I'm thinking of APEX
man, Uncleswagg is the hero mod held back by the corrupt establishment
did they finally get around to paying him
Hulk's Sombra is a meme
yes
if only I could share my insight with twitch chat ๐ฆ
in a way these games are good for my self esteem
obviously veine was gonna trans...
all the failed Dragonblades make me feel better about my blades
Reaperino
so how is Reaper meant to be the anti-Sombra tech btw?
rip eisfeldt
kills the tanks before they can heal?
hacking reaper does pretty much nothing
Ez ez ez
- burst
Reaper is more brute force than abilities
prevents him from escaping if he gets in too close and gets low
so if you get EMP'd, it really doesn't matter
Unlike Tracer/Genji/Soldier
makes sense
you can't wraith form, but when getting EMP'd you're not gonna be capable of disengaging anyway
and his lifesteal
Just the resilience against hacking helps
I mean, even if he escapes, the fight would be lost anyway
gives him better chances than most heroes
Isn't Hulk one of the best ult-trackers in the game?
when're we gonna see some spicy attack Torb

the real pro strats
if dafran was still a thing, probably
lol
Doa plos
I don't think many people agree with me but I really feel like no team is worse off without having Dafran
yeah, his aim was godlike, but godlike aim doesn't mean shit if you get tilted and stop trying two games in
reading about the LH coach and how he made his team the top in Korea, there's a lot of talk about how important keeping people humble and stopping them from getting tilted is
Esca is the MVP of LH not because of his DPS skills, but because he's experienced and keeps his team together when they get salty
Trying to trigger Oreo?
what the fuck
someone like Dafran would completely
wait wtf
Hog in 2017?
now UK is just meming
???????
Is this the ultimate BM
Wew
LUL
the deflect
this is more memes than attack Torb

Hog really does sucks, doesn't he
This match got zero effect on anything
He's the worst hero in the game probably
Bastion at least has situational usefulness and is effective in comp against a team unprepared for it
They are fucking winning
Hog is just an ult feeding machine that doesn't do anything to make him worth the character pick
Rein 
Even when Hog wins and hits every hook, he's not so much carrying as needing his team to secure kills
if only Blizzard would give Junkrat the Roadhog treatment
If he is the old hog then yes he carries
oh old Hog's carries were insane
HOW'D HE DIE?
new Hog blows
EU Gongos 
Sneaky harb was awesome
You live by the Harb and die by the Harb
I played with a guy called HarbleauGod earlier today
he actually was pretty good, shotcalled for us in text chat
Hey at least Roadhog's partner in crime Junkrat got a buff
why did they leave his pov?
Junkrats design is obnoxious
why are the people looking for baby sitters in chat not banned
they've just given up
Hopefully he never becomes meta
Cree LOL
eh, Jake did it
okay, this is just bullying now
missed after flash 
LUL
lmao
Is die noon
they're just memeing now
Watch them switch at the last 30 seconds and roll
I don't really like the UK's meming now honestly
Love it
at this point it just seems disrespectful and makes them look bad, like they don't care enough about themselves to look good and win
SK stomps everyone and never gets lazy
veineless goign for the flank
Sk memed a lot
They did
but at the very least you could say they were practicing different comps
Deleted
DELETED
US played triple tank
They switched when they wanted to play seriously
okay, I'll say something else instead
Like SK
SK never memed and looked bad
they memed and still crushed
they lost, like, 3 fights to Poland and that's it
lmao
They can play sym torb junkrat on defense and probably win
someone should tell the Mercy specialists I run into about that
Ah, Sym Torb Junkrat
Mercy specialists
the unbeatable comp defense

I still have no idea how to beat it
You need to coordinate
You need minimal coordination on the defense to run it and maximum coordination on offense to break through it
That's why it's so cancer
Anything sucks if alone
run into random traps, blown up by spam, shut down in open areas by the turret and closed hallways by sym turrets
Flankers get fucked harder than most
I run into that comp and switch to Winston, let someone else DPS against that shit
kruise
??????????????????????????????????????????
100%
at first I didn't agree with people saying sombra is OP but it is getting ridiculous
I think that reddit dude was right, reduce ult charge from packs and increase it from damage
right now Sombra just looks ridiculous in pro play while still being difficult to pull off successfully in comp solo queue
WOW WTF
sombra is fine as it is, she is problem only at pro level
How did Veine win that?
LOOL
Losing a 1v1 against an EMPed Zen
kruise got schooled

Probably got bursted
lmao
use an ult, have to fight a 50 HP support in close range when your weapon is close range
Still lose
Wowza
Man, when did tactical visor become such a useless ult
I used to think it was OP, now it feels like it never accomplishes anything
Also, it seemed more op because nano boost
it was pretty useless back in the tank meta, then it become super good
now it's basically a free dva magnet again
It's supposed to zone
at least blade is still good
and some were useless from the start, like widows ult ๐
Widows ult isnt useless
Widow's ult is weird to me
because you can feel it being useful
but it's impossible to measure in any way how useful it is
It's pretty good, for pre firing
It doesn't save your teammates, it doesn't damage the enemy team obviously
Its effect is entirely invisibl
Dash city
did that hit on the Tracer connect?
EMP is similar to grav in that it obviously sets up kills
when a Zen gets EMPed and genji dashes him, the effect is obvious
gg
ggs
You mean the slash from the blade?
4-Overwatch
Yeah
It did hit
But she had sound barrier
BOOP indeed
soe is the best savage
I can't stop staring at them guys
I feel like a bad person
BUFF TRACER
but how am I supposed to look away
250 hp Tracer
I like this new specialist terminology
now that you mention it


Twitch chat isn't even talking about it which makes me think I'm crazy
Maybe it's the kind that perks
blizz mods so good
u wot
their deleting it before they even sent the messages
she doesn't have a bra?
I'm pretty sure it wasn't like this in previous days
Bras are overrated

Looks cold in there 
I was less distracted at least
Y'all thirsty smh
She is one of kind dude
Boombox 
tracer lookalike
Ngl
US v germany 
I got a pic with her at the Sydney stage but I don't wanna share it :))
US better stomp
if they don't stomp I'm gonna be so disappointed
I want toxicity

I saw a reddit post about winston dancing not being BM, but an advanced strat to look around corners with third person view
inb4 Germany beats US 
t h i r s t y
I want to see sinatraa talking shit, teabagging and playing symmetra
lol I missed that
high quality BM
Why is Genji's dance so awkward though
Is it a reference to something

What's scarier, hyperlul or omegalul?




yo yo yo im finally home
step by step guide
@toxic yacht hows the day been
step 3: ???
decent

step 4: win the world cup
us vs taiwan was good
Hog in 2017
the rest were stompy
cant believe us beat taiwan
any thoughts on the uk v taipei matchup?

It is not

๐ฉ

smh
Why is Genji's dance so awkward though
Is it a reference to something
so I looked it up
@obtuse tartan
it looks less awkward in the original version

this is what Genji's dance is actually for though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crEWTMFx_9c&feature=youtu.be

okay, so some guy is saying
That it's not actually nips showing, but the seams of her clothes curving in at the end
so I am just crazy
Who cares?
feelsgoodman zarya is played
This patch is before the Zarya grav buff isn't it?
He ulted immediatly thinking he was safe of the D.Va who was up top
Guess he forgot about Genji
Man those replays are getting real good
Zarya gameplay 
what'd he say? I wasn't paying attention
