Heck
Beech u talkin like last time I did this shit was yesterday 
Smh
You're infamous for it still
That means I have something going on for me still at least 
You suck almost as much as Oreo
Wha
Not exactly as much though ๐๐ป
https://www.twitch.tv/a_seagull
Seagull back from jail!
that's not high praise
What I do now 
It's biologically impossible to suck as much as Oreo tbf
weeb smh
Builds character
@toxic yacht is that the cheater?
Rip
He has good aim

@clever wagon new people 
New?
Or are you Seija?

Unlucky
Good morning everyone, if you'd like to discuss this week's meta report, I just posted threads!
https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/6vbf79/overwatch_pro_scene_meta_report_fists_of_fury/
hopefully that was disabled o.O


It's not his fault he got a hacker
i've to watch a retard to have a look at the new map 
He still wants to win the game
:/
if you wanna win but still have some self respect at least don't nano the hacker
i dont like anyone who support hackers
you have like, 2 other nano targets
That gives him his best chance to win it is what it is
smh
lol
That dudes probably taken his elo at some point too
really nice mindset 
it's not my fault about hackers in my game
also looks very good for your team if your player is playing around hacker
and is being a dick about it
if i see hacker against me - i pick d.va
with me - support him
then report him anyways
I mean idk what being a dick about it is I'm not watching
i just don't see point in bitching about something in ranked
it's like finding a wallet and saying "well, not my fault it fell"

most of the time i mute my teammates from the start
you keep lost wallets?
No it's not because you don't lose anything by not picking up the wallet
I don't keep lost wallets
as in taking the money and not giving it to the owner
and don't pick them
thats a terrible analogy
there is a difference between trying to win anyway and basically playing around the hacker
but the point it is, even if not your fault, you shouldn't condone bad behavior
as in supporting a hacker
why wouldnt you condone bad behavior
like, going out of your way to maximize his hacking abilites
to make the game even more garbage
like, isn't the point of ranked to prove you're gud?
ur gud if you play around the guy ruining games for every1
hackers only play for the screen points
don't you understand?
imaginary screenpoints are more important than actually trying to get a win that you deserve
SR IS SOOO VALUABLE
it's like some friends of mine who hate arcade but play it only for the looboxes
OMG YOU WILL LITERALLY DIE IF YOU LOSE THE GAME
I mean ideally people like this aren't in the game at all but hes probably played against him too
And yes lots of people want to win in ranked
Lots of people care about imaginary screen points
those peoplea are idiots
i love to see people caring about imaginary screen points in my games
including the ones who support him
Clearly the other team does too thats why they don't want to lose
it's better than "i play for fun and pick mei to block you on spawn"
there is a difference between caring about imaginary screenpoints alone and caring about winning with a good game
okay, I will make literally the most unfun game ever
you get imaginary screenpoints though

I mean people try and draw sometimes which is ideal
that's all that matters in the end
But can't always do that
having a decent K/D means that you're killing shit, killing shit and objective and stuff is the core of the game, like???????
wtf is this comparison?
imaginary screenpoints = KD?
let me reprhase it
BF didn't have SR or any kind of rating
instead of caring about playing well, and having a competition, hackers and lots of people only care about winning and gaining sr
k/d is you actually killing things
yupp and i didn't care about my gameplay
that's not really comparable to having a decent and fun game and then winning/losing
which should be secondary about enjoying the game
I agree with you and all Sojum personally but I dont think its unreasonable for certain people to care about winning, he didnt choose his circumstances and that's his best chance of winning
Unlucky
i don't think it's evil
because the hacker is on the other team sometimes it's fine to ruin the game for more people because he RUINED MY GAMES
but like, i dunno, i won bc of a hacker, i wouldn't feeldgood
current anticheat is evil, blame it not random teammates who nanoboost hackers
like i was carried
yes, blame the system lol
always blame the system
not people
it's totally not like people could make it less shit
by not being dicks
cheaters always be
tbh, the most jackie could do is report
him supporting or not, wouldn't change much i think
like, even if the hacker team lost
it still would be a bad match
just bc the existence of the hacker
bad people exist, so it's fine to help them
because bad people will never stop existing
like, i think not supporting him is the right thing to do, but it doesn't change much
actually that's excusable
you can't change the fact that serial killers exist bro
like, if you kill for survivavel you can be excused from murder
Lol
not excused
well, there is a difference between killing the serial killer who is trying to kill you and helping him kill 20 poeple
That's not how the law works in reality
He's not doing it to help him hes doing it to help himself
@clever wagon you changed your name?
it's bc i'm dumb
He doesn't want to lose the game
and i'm speaking about Brazil law
i dont think you can be excused from murder
and i'm bad at english
...
Which is maybe not what he should be worrying about
you still helped murder 20 people
so he murders 20 people
But it's understandable at least
I never said you did
There's involuntary manslaughter out of self-defense and there's being an accomplice to murder
Wait nvm
like, killing out of self-defense retires one of the 3 requisits of crime
i think that's bc of gamescon
i watched Valkia earlier and he had the same overlay
probably because gamescom
You really think "murdering 20 innocent people to avoid getting killed" will still fall into self-defense at that point?
Well the anology wasn't good anyway
i was speaking about self-defense, the 20 man part came later
anyway, we got sidetracked af
Sojum Nanoboost me 
if you support oreo yore worse than hitler
Well supporting me at least proves you don't care about your SR
Rip
NA Fat LUL
@toxic yacht Everyone that was given a chance to stream at gamescom had to use that same overlay.
They don't get to put in any personal stream elements.
gotcha

wonder if whoru screams ez after each kill
more hyped about
Spectator Mode
- Various spectator UI clean ups to make it more inuitive and easy to use.
- Working on team colors & potentially other things.
- Better stat screen for esports specifically that tracks damage per ability, ability usage etc.
- Full replay system that allows freecam. They specifically see this as useful to Esports which will allow better post-match analysis.
- All or most of this will HOPEFULLY roll out before Blizzcon for the world cup that is their goal.
Atleast all of that has been promised for a long time
I guess we have a timeline now though
pls, it's a new engine
programming this is not easy

How hard will reaching the pro scene in this game be compared to other esport games?
scene is still as fresh as a tomato right now, it's probably the easiest out of all big ones at the moment
best time would probably have been beta/earlier this year

It'd be so cool if Blizzard did player focused stuff like this for Contenders
Well. Even orgs rarely do it
I mean
If Riot can do stuff like this for one of their leagues, don't see why Blizzard can't do it for theirs
Hopefully we get content like this for OWL at least
Also
Q&A tomorrow

You shut up Oreo
Game director Jeff Kaplan details some of the changes coming to Season 6 of Competitive Play later this month. 0:32 - Seasons will now be two months long vs....

Bo3 control 
gud
BO3 KOTH is barely 10 minutes
@balmy wolf https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/news/20971934
We would like to share an update on age eligibility requirements for players in the Overwatch League. Players must be 18 years old in order to compete in the Overwatch League. Players who are not yet 18 but will turn 18 before April 5, 2018 may still sign contracts (together with their parent or legal guardian) and practice with Overwatch League teams for Season 1, but they cannot play in Overwatch League games until they turn 18. See our post on player signings, salaries, and more for additional information about competing in the Overwatch League.

apparently next season is gonna be good. hopefully it helps me get out of master
Smh Kotaku not catching on to the recently official name
Well. Even orgs rarely do it
NV at least does
I mean among endemic orgs they're pretty much the biggest one atm along with C9 in OW, and what makes them bigger than the latter is that they actually have multiple big titles to boast
On the other hand C9 is like that atm
Lmao, Bren dropping in the podcast
Oh, add Gillfrost to that
Finally Koth bo3
Bo3 is fine completely
I don't have a preference either way
I don't play enough comp to have a real opinion
Bo3 is too short imo
like qp short
if they changed how much % per sec
to like 1 % per 3 seconds then yea
we have 3 maps for every koth
so it's perfect for bo3
i'm biased towards short games
@scenic charm ๐
๐
Naisu
2 month seasons are a good and a bad idea
They said it's because people would give up near the end of the season
But that was because of the perception of a season
If the season wa a year long you'd not suddenly get people giving up 2 months in
But they seem to leave meta changes and hero changes till the end of seasons
So that's a good thing
They can have a large patch before OWL
And change whatever they want
If it's a year then ppl wont care much at the start
how seasons work in other games like dota?
they don't have seasons
because seasons are pointless
and honestly just serve to annoy me
league and all blizz games have seasons, but valve doesn't do seasons
Atleast League seasons are a year
I dont get there reasoning behind that statements
having 2 month sessiosn rather then 3 to avoid people throwing more at end of 3 months
just means we'll get more throwers at end of 2 months now 
It's like they saw a spreadsheet
People start throwing after 2 months
Lets make the seasons 2 months 
Can someone fill me in what happened with LW Blue and why they're forfeiting?
Wasn't that because they wanted to focus on OWL or something?
i think not yet announced but people speculate they most likely get the boston spot ? if i remember reading that correctly
Isn't LH involved with the owl and still playing though?
Yes but LH will continue with their current roster, but add in 6 subs
LWB might do some changes
that dont matter for S1 Arny
If LWB are picked up
They are permanently in NA
And will probably be integrated with NA players
I want Flower on LH ๐
LWB management in it self is known to be ridiculously bad
they do random stuffs
like notifying people at 4AM after the signing window that they arent on the roster ๐คข
Korea is my city
i wouldnt call that random tho
i would call that a calculated asshole move
blocking him from getting into a different team
MA 0-3 MVP 
MA is kill
Sayaplayer really wish he taken that conteact now, would he?
MA 
Mvp space going through in group with ma, runaway and lh, wow
Not counting on it
My inner LH fanboy wants to think they need time because RJH Tobi Zunba was out for a good while
But Immortals only had Agilities out for World Cup and they still got bodied hard by NV so there's that
nV bodied NA tbh
but IMT always were below NV
i'm gonna be so crying if bc of those two wins MVP advances and Runaway not
s2 flashbacks
I mean the old C9, not C9 EU
even if IMT doesn't dominate NA (aside from nV and Rogue) i still expect them to become the better NA team long-term wise
it will depends on the directions of where their team is going
they bodied people in Contenders S1
but with the rumored new
and potentially
with 
and also 
i don't expect the road to be easy for them
they are the one that should not having it
since they didn't has to send anyone to WC
but here we are
plowed over by a half strength 
the curse is older than WC
like, Faze is one the best examples of that
except for Contenders sometimes they play out of their minds, sometimes they were t2
their carry is in Russia playing 200 ping
so you know
at least SDB will be in NA now
logitech sponsored runaway ๐
well, in his words the ping didn't matter
it probably mattered as much as he'd like to deny it
same thing with
having Shadder in the line up
they were inconsistent up until their bootcamping
so
can potentially pull an upset vs
but it is very slim
nah even if you look at TL
the only team that they consistently trading maps with is 
C9 is a step above but they could never get that elusive win to solidify them
is there even anything for them to compete rn?
@balmy wolf I hate you
You type all those team names as emotes and I can't see any of them reeeeeeeeee
Freaking mobile
not really.
Oh
haven't played in a month, but still feels the urge to comment on a dev update
New de team 
i'm curious if he would be any more happy if he had sub 50 % winrate
BROKEN MATCHMAKING
TakeTV made a team

tbf @toxic yacht i tried to play a bit of comp and immediately i want to kill myself
6 matches in Plat and maybe 2 that was decent. The rest was with non cooperative players or just throwers
"Let me Winston"
Dude played Roadhog.
it always low-key triggers me when i watch streamers who almost are never in voice and don't change heroes
At one map I single handedly kill 4 people only to turn around to see my team just completely died for whatever reason
Team? Hello?
I just lasered 4 people without a Visor and they just died somehow
lots of thing could happen
i'm contemplating just mute voice chat and focus on fragging out tbh
might as well just join them
instead of trying to communicate into this void of what they call "NA esport"
no, plat is crap, lul
it's even worse than high SRs, somehow
I don't even understand how you should play anything there
plat is basically where people likes to think that they are good at the game
and it is everyone else's faults that they arent diamond
which of course lead to situations where the whole team pick shit comp and then deluded themselves into thinking that "at this level comp doesn't matter because you'd win with anything"
or not even communicating and just focus on trying to carry by the way of feeding
yup, you perfectly summed it up
lulz
everyone in plat thinks that they're experts and understand the game and are actually beasts who are 10x better than everyone they play with, so they think that they must carry
it's especially hilarious when one of them comes with their "game knowledge"
and gets even better when someone else starts countering someone's "knowledge" with his own "knowledge"
other team running Junkrat, Symmetra, Orisa, Mercy
suggested running Pharmercy
Pharmercy didn't hit anything worthwhile
"I don't think Pharmercy counter this comp, man"

TakeTV announced a team

wtf are those role emojis
ur mom
oh shit
Gotcha
RIPped
btw, soe is on rn
they always miss the action though. there are to many people to try and watch at once
it's still great af
to be honest much better than cs:go, dota or ow for me
casters are wonderful
csgo is just who can hide the hacks more. ow is always mirror comps
Evermore just killed him as fast as hook combo
lul
I didn't expect it to be great
now i think this game has better future than our beloved Paladins
i can only watch PUBG when is a streamer i like
Evermore just won this game
otherwise is pretty boring to watch just for gameplay
top-1 in OW, top-1 in PUBG
also bc so much is left to RNG
kinda disappointed that it was a mei short
Mei new skin?
bc most of it was already told by the enviromental story-telling of the map
prob
i'd hope so
Mei was more upset about the fact her @amazon Alexa was out of batteries than she was about literally her entire friendgroup dying.
literally worse than r/ow
https://twitter.com/MonteCristo/status/900401879221362693 what a brown nose comment
It is impressive how far Blizzard is ahead of the rest of the competitive gaming industry in terms of cinematics and story development
monte smh
as i said, literally worse than r/ow
ye but ya look how much Mei is T H I C C? 
2 qt
I cant tell if Montes meming
like idk if hes brown nosing or its a subtle jab
i think it's obvious enough he's jabbing
like those people who says they prioritize skins over maps/balance
btw, if everyone remember a leak a while ago regarding Doomfist
"Mei is like the most boring hero, even symmetra is more interesting i wanna know why shes dressing like a stripper" - @Zebbosai 2017
it also leaked out the next animated short to be Mei
yeah, i remember this being theorized long ago
not even bc of leaks
how fucking boring pubg
is pubg viewable
that's what I thought
it is if you watch a good streamer
Mei short: fairly mundane.
gotta love the false death of a robot to tug the heart string too
another one
not McCree ๐ด
we are spectating someone running lul
the game is 90% running
super entertaining lmao
@wary falcon "to be honest much better than cs:go, dota or ow for me" i REALLY hope you are memeing
Still over 100k views 
i do wonder if PUBG esports will stay popular after the games popularity fades
peak popularity i mean
@wary falcon "to be honest much better than cs:go, dota or ow for me" i REALLY hope you are memeing
Stop being an apologist
Who cares if he actually enjoy it more
Pansy is great
who knows when it fades Alluid
pansy is boring
if anytime soon
her voice makes me mad
dota and csgo are more entertaining and easy to spectate compared to that trash bin
it has views because it's a popular game
yeah, kinda weird
at least Pansy is somehow making this game sounds exciting
pubg reach more views than csgo and dota
@supple nymph blame the lack of PR on the esport side

mei is a tank confirmed?
dae ded gaem
maybe the more popular streamers prefer PUBG than OW, hence it's higher viewer count
not even talking about esports
Really Sojum?
just casual streaming
still have to beat 230k world cup
OW Open was super high also wasn't?
adreN????
"it has views because it's a popular game"
4Head
yes thats why games usually have views
i mean, it has views as esport because its popular
i think he meant that OW playerbase is higher, but has less views
not because it's entertaining to watch
if people didnt find it entertaining they wouldnt watch
wait until they do one where the actual popular streams go
like summit1g and drdisrespect
300k ez
lol Evermore nearly dying at sea
stream dream team
Moonmoon, Seagull, Tim, Calvin, Gale and DSPStanky
6 PM pacific
Evermore 4head
Stanky doesn't stream OW anymore.
I needed a popular guy who plays lushio
he quit Im pretty sure
stanky viewers dropped a lot tbh
he was on ana
Stanky "I can only be a tier 2 Lucio bots" 4Head
the sole reason he got famous it's ow
and he's spitting on ow 
lucioball on dspstanky has 3k views
other video has 300
Stanky "I'm retiring from pro when noone knew I was pro in the first place" 4Head
Stanky "Casuals think i'm a top tier lucio and i lose against a tier 10 team" 4Head
his team was literally T2 gatekeepers. They wasn't anything more than that.
and they ended up disbanded too
sometimes you'd see do some of these aggressive pre set boop
but outside of that he is kind of a non factor

The LG curse claims another victim
something tells me that they imploded
one of their conditions for getting signed was that their roster doesn't get split up

there is a difference between dead and splitting up, but yee, didn't think of the underage thing

Sterling.VC, sister company of the New York Mets, is bringing over the second South Korean Overwatch roster to join the Overwatch League, sources say.


tldr for peopls:
Once the deal is done, LW Blue will temporarily relocate to Los Angeles where the first season of the Overwatch League will take place. Following the enactment of geolocation in the league at a future date, the franchise will move back to New York City.
The deal has been negotiated over the last few weeks with LW Blue owner Ji Yeong-hun and Luminosity Gaming owner Steve Maida helping broker it, sources said. It's unsure what Ji or Maida's role, if at all, with the roster will be once it moves to Los Angeles.

LW's star DPS Hwang "Fl0w3R" Yeon-oh-often considered by many analysts as one of the best in the world-will not be eligible to compete in the Overwatch League. Fl0w3R is currently 17 years old and will not have turned 18, the minimum age of eligibility, by proposed time of launch for the league, which is currently set for the end of 2017.

so maybe NY owner Jeff Wilpon is not like luna.

In our latest developer update, Jeff Kaplan shared a variety of changes coming soon to Season 6 of Competitive Play. Along with these changes, there are two more important updates planned for Season 6 that we didnโt get to talk about in the video: Players in Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond can now drop into lower skill tiers Weโve made some adjustments to how skill rating is calculated after a win/loss SKILL TIER UPDATES Players in Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond will now be moved into lower skill tiers if they cannot consistently maintain the minimum skill rating for that tier. After a loss, the game will check to see what a playerโs current tier and skill rating areโif their skill rating has not exceeded the minimum for their current tier for the past five games, they will be demoted. (Players will never be demoted on a win.) Donโt worry: Competitive Points awarded at the end of a season will still be based on the highest tier earned that season. So, for example, if you reached Platinum during Season 6, but ended the season in Gold, you will still receive a number of Competitive Points based on your Platinum ranking. SKILL RATING UPDATES We've adjusted the calculations that determine how much skill rating players will gain after a win and lose after a loss. These changes should help address some of the anomalies players have been reporting, especially with heroes that have lower win-rates. We'll continue tuning this system and are committed to making additional adjustments so that players are encouraged to play the hero they feel gives their team the best chance to win a competitive match. As a reminder, Season 5 ends August 28 at 5PM PT and Season 6 begins August 31 at 5PM PT. Competitive Point rewards for Season 5 can be found here.
"Players in Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond will now be moved into lower skill tiers if they cannot consistently maintain the minimum skill rating for that tier. After a loss, the game will check to see what a playerโs current tier and skill rating areโif their skill rating has not exceeded the minimum for their current tier for the past five games, they will be demoted. (Players will never be demoted on a win.)"
so a player's MMR can drop to match their SR
is what they're saying?
oh no they're talking about a true demote
that's...odd
So is it just like a losing streak? I don't get it
It literally means icon
That's it
Right now you can be in bronze with a diamond icon
Oh yeah I understand now
so if you decay
and lose
you go to plat

Smashing Roadhog for 216 burst damage will be funny though
JKap-Hex for this?
YEAH
i hate lucioball
It's trash
But my brother likes it and farms comp points for me so not that bad I guess lul 
i like it, but it really needs more attention than a side-mode on a fps deserves
also not sure if it's my net, but the netcode seems horrible

Numlocked on Envision
Cloud9 sign sinatraa, Fischer, NeptuNo, Space, Silkthread, zombs to Contenders roster
slowpoke
ooo silkthread? ๐ฎ
probably emergency sub
Sinatraa, Fischer,Mow, Space, Neptuno, Greyy looks pretty good on paper but NA ping for a couple makes it 


Will Blizzard change this individual-perfomance-based-SR-gain bullshit?
or i still can rank up with my sombra (14% winrate)?
@balmy wolf I see you on every discord server what gives
What in the flying fuck is this
It feels like I just blinked for a split second
It's like the middle of the day for me and a fuck ton of things happened
It's harder to stomach than finding out after a night's sleep which is how I usually find out
C9 EU may actually be okay now 
Cloud 9 Bought LK just so they could get Alicus and his fancy airlines
Boi nrg is so hyped
I'll buy into the hype when I see results
Ooo JKap and Hex in a bit
Mfw when ow channel has a countdown for 30 minutes
Premier Series live

cant see the past ones on play overwatch who is streaming it now

no clue
2 0 M I L L I O N S
btw @supple nymph you know the funny part?
the roster that was brought by NetEase
it's a lan?
nah, the roster that was brought by NetEase is in danger of not contending in playoff
๐ค
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/overwatch/Overwatch_Premier_Series/2017/Summer they started their season 0-3 lol
@balmy wolf sinaatraa and the rest arent actually signed onto c9, are they? theyre just filling for contenders right?
this is what no PR does for you
@blazing parrot probably their signing was a panic button
your thread is downvoted to hell 
yeah i dont think theyre actually on the c9 official team
@supple nymph the anti Rogue circlejerk is real
which post reign?
NRG hate train?
๐

@balmy wolf i think its more of no one cares anymore and are happy that rouge are losing

mainly because a. they have been winning a lot since their NA arrival and b. Rogue is perceived to be a bunch of unlikable Frenchies
i only like unkoe
nv will probably dominate but i dont think i will ever dislike them like rogue
Mind you, when EnVy shit on enough people and then Taimou got clipped, then people will just turn on Envy
it just how the hype cycle goes
it is already starting with the demolishion of 
some of their guesses are pretty non sensical
I do know at least 4 people in there tho
can't remember the rest
no KR certainly. Mostly homegrown NA talents.
nrg sleepy for sure
oh rip
good ol' r/csgobetting days
@wary falcon it is call Karma whoring, lolz
Rogue 
wait, Rogue played contenders in canada?
also, why are they there?
also, did LK just fuckin switched half their roster?
Yes. Visa. And also yes.
visa as in can't enter USA rn right?
Yeah
