clever wagon
#

Thank fuck I've gotten my diamond

#

It's funny how a lot of the reputable semi-competitive Youtubers/analysts are pro-change

#

Making it obvious who's on the opposite side

wintry matrix
#

i mean, taimou is pro-change and he's an idiot 99% of the time about balance

#

the same way lots of those people would be happy if dva dealt 200 burst dmg if that meant removing matrix

#

no youre an idiot

#

leave my Timo alone

supple nymph
#

balmy wolf
#

Panker of KDUncia

supple nymph
#

look at the guy with the orange name

wintry matrix
#

wasn't panker considered the top rein once?

wintry matrix
#

welp

#

or maybe FNRGFE was poached

solid spear
#

They weren't

#

Wait nvm

#

Well the team wasnt obviously but players should look for tryouts if theyre on FNRG

wintry matrix
#

wasn't the rumours that NRG got some of them

solid spear
wintry matrix
#

it would be really weird if clockwork just left FNRGFE bc they were on the rise

solid spear

I don't know the rumors and it wouldn't be weird

wintry matrix
#

ajax was playing somewhere?

solid spear
#

That team was never getting picked up for OWL together

wintry matrix
#

which makes me sad bc their lineup was solid

#

maybe trade supports

pine star

His gf left him

blazing parrot

ajax has a gf?

pine star
#

I'm kidding

#

I have no idea

wintry matrix

blazing parrot
#

i thought his gf was his body pillow

#

and his right hand

balmy wolf
#

@wintry matrix he will still be playing in Contenders

#

just that he is LFT

wintry matrix
#

oh

#

i just thought that meant he quit the team

#

bc you'd assume that an usigned team is everyone looking for offers, together or not

Woah, taimou can aim? I don't follow why he's been hot topic in this week

solid spear

cuz hes bae

rapid oxide
#

What if

#

They rebrand

#

But use the endemic org as sponsor?

#

Yokohama = C9

#

Chelsea = London ULtimates

#

Seoul Lunatic could have KSV etc...

balmy wolf
#

i don't get why the subreddit can be idiots at times

#

it is literally what every NA sport league does

#

you purchase a slot

and then you brand yourself as an X

#

Why do so many people think eSports brands are recognizable or well known?

#

Literally no one outside dedicated fans know of them

#

It doesn't matter if you start from scratch

#

It's like for example a small company from a small town is expanding

#

It doesn't matter how many people from the town know who they are

#

They will know who they are after the rebrand

#

And maybe these teams can come up with better names

feral solar
#

none of my friends know anything about these teams

#

and they dont understand it either

rapid oxide
#

Nice they'll get rid of shitty logos such as c9 and imt

#

I welcome sports like logos pogchimp

#

LCK Final now

#

Wanna see how's different from APEX

balmy wolf
#

It was this September right? I'm finally getting hyped :D

#

Is it known if there will be even more cities?

clever portal
#

Unknown

#

They want 12 ish though

#

We have 9

#

And nV is rumoured

balmy wolf
#

Please another EU city

pine star
#

I'd be ok with 10

#

But I do want more EU ๐Ÿ™

#

Someone else members Blizzard said season 1 was going to be NA only?

#

I member

balmy wolf
#

Sure do member

#

I guess a German city would be the primary candidate

#

Or even Paris

#

Hmmm, I'm fine with rooting for London if that doesn't happen probably

clever portal
#

London is EU

pine star
#

No shit monkaS

#

I tought it was Asia

red anvil
#

i would say Paris is more likely

#

Rogue have created such a fanbase there

pine star
#

It doesn't mean shit if there's not an investor willing to buy a spot there

red anvil
#

indeed but i would say it's more likely that they would be interested in a spot in paris rather then berlin

#

tbh stockholm is a contender tho

pine star
#

I'm not so sure about that

balmy wolf
#

Sweden isn't part of mainland Europe

pine star
#

It does help tho

balmy wolf
#

England isn't either

#

If there's going to be another EU spot I think it'd be somewhere more central

red anvil
#

i dont think central or not will matter

balmy wolf
#

Also Paris =/= France

#

Or is Rogue literally from Paris?

pine star
#

Does it matter?

#

Is not like some billionarie is going to buy a spot for whichever town they're from?

#

Let's be honest

red anvil
#

Rogue is not from paris no, unless some of the individual members are

pine star
#

If there's a spot for Paris, they're going to represent France

#

Not Paris

red anvil
#

Paris is the only place in france that is likely to get a spot

#

at all

balmy wolf
#

Yeah

#

I was thinking because there have been complaints in the US all the cities are along the coasts

#

Spoiled bastards lol

red anvil
#

European countries dont think like americans like that

#

its not comparable at all

balmy wolf
#

Oh okay

red anvil
#

Europe is not a country like the US

balmy wolf
#

I'm from EU and I'd like to root for a team close to me

#

What???

#

EU is not a country????

red anvil
#

Nope ๐Ÿ˜‰

pine star
#

I mean, I just learned that London is EU NotLikeMiya

red anvil
#

I live in Norway, i wouldent cheer for a swedish team

#

even tho thats as close as you can get to Norway

#

lol Sojum

pine star
red anvil
#

Did you think UK was its own continent?

pine star
#

I'm memeing

red anvil
#

worst part i wouldent been suprised if it was true

balmy wolf
#

Maybe you're right

pine star
#

I get you lol

red anvil
#

i've heard so much stupid shit lol

#

Norway is the main capital in Sweden right?

balmy wolf
#

lol

#

Everyone knows Olso is Sweden's capital

pine star
red anvil
#

They put an OWL tee on seagul MonkaThink

pine star
#

Yeah

#

Noticed that

balmy wolf
#

You can buy those yourself

pine star
#

Seagull as desk analyst for OWL confirmed pogW

#

I have one

balmy wolf
#

I saw someone in Japan wearing one

red anvil
#

they started selling OWL merch already?

pine star
#

Sulli for OWL confirmed

red anvil
#

or unoffical shit?

pine star
#

OWL tees have been in store for like almost a year now

#

lol

red anvil
#

lol

#

Muslek gotta get his butt back to the pubg bench

#

he is actually doing fairly well there

balmy wolf
#

PUBG...

#

What's the appeal?

#

I've played it and it was alright but it's extremely popular

red anvil
#

most of its success comes from them marketing it trough streamers

pine star
#

I don't really get it either

#

But oh well

balmy wolf
#

Most of the match was sorting through items anyway lol

clever portal
#

Basically survival mode

red anvil
#

i've followed the genre back to dayz mod so its appealing for me

clever portal
#

Lots of people like games like that

red anvil
#

but like i said, most of its success just comes from smart marketing

pine star
balmy wolf
#

Meh

red anvil
#

Playerunkown knows a bunch of streamers, that he partnered up with, gave out alpha keys, their own servers and so on

balmy wolf
#

That doesn't explain why it's continued to stay popular and grow

red anvil
#

it kinda does, popular streamers play the game, people watches it and buys

balmy wolf
#

It should be because of the gameplay

red anvil
#

the concept in it self is old af.

#

and the gameplay as well

balmy wolf
#

People wouldn't play it if they didn't enjoy it themselves

red anvil
#

people play whatever they think is alright to play, people played h1z1 regardless of it being the biggest shit ever

pine star
#

The consensus for Lawbreakers is that the game is fun and engaging

#

Yet no one is playing it

#

Marketing does matter

balmy wolf
#

Of course

#

Except players are supposed to stick for the gameplay right?

pine star
#

Oh yeah

#

For sure

balmy wolf
#

Or do they actually only play because it's popular? lol

red anvil
#

In theory yes, but then they start going into compettive part of it

#

and just wants to get better and better

pine star
#

You'd be surprised how poser some gamers are lol

red anvil
#

and people plays games because there popular alone

balmy wolf
#

Thinking about it, that doesn't seem that far fetched lol

red anvil
#

whatever is hyped, people plays

#

like dayz sa when it came out

pine star
#

I know tons of people that play(ed) Overwatch just because it's Blizzard's, even though they hate fps

red anvil
#

when people finally agreed it was the biggest bugshit show ever, people stopped playing it

balmy wolf
#

Overwatch is a quality game gameplay wise

#

Plus it's accessable for FPS newcomers with lots of different characters

#

With PUBG, you play the same map with the same weapons over and over again

red anvil
#

i started playing OW because friends played it

#

i stayed because i liked it

balmy wolf
#

Exactly

pine star
#

SKT reverse sweep NotLikeMiya

red anvil
#

same reason i bought pubg, h1z1, dayz

#

arma 3

#

uh etc.

balmy wolf
#

but you stopped playing those right?

red anvil
#

pubg i still plays, but i wouldent play it unless friends did

balmy wolf
#

It has to be the hype

#

Same

red anvil
#

i dont care about hype, or what streamers play

#

i play whatever will give me a fun experience

balmy wolf
#

You don't pre order either then?

pine star
#

Preorder is shit

#

And no one should do it

red anvil
#

i never pre order games

pine star
#

Ever

red anvil
#

if a game feels confident in it self then it shouldent be putting out a preorder

pine star
#

It's not so much about confidence

#

But more about money

#

Pre-order is more expensive because of bullshit in-game items

red anvil
#

anyhow, i would never preorder anything, because why should i? this aint like the old days where we actual had to get physical copys

#

and it would be sold out

pine star
#

Yeah

#

It's just a bad practice

balmy wolf
#

Because of the PRE ORDER BONUSES

pine star
#

Fuck em

balmy wolf
#

I always pre order games from my favorite franchises

red anvil
#

luckily pre order bonuses is always shit

#

i rather miss out on a pre order bonus then buy something that dident deserve to be bought

balmy wolf
#

When the quality is guaranteed I think it's fine

red anvil
#

i dont really trust the guarantee of any game franchise at this point

pine star
#

There's only one franchise I'd preorder from

#

And that's CD Projekt Red

#

And not even

red anvil
#

well they dont have any ongoing franchises

pine star
#

I meant studio**

red anvil
#

i have so ridiculously huge respect for them as well but they've only made one game that was a 12/10

balmy wolf
#

Main series Pokemon practically have a guaranteed quality

red anvil
#

well you know what you get, i still wouldent preorder it

balmy wolf
#

Same with Persona, even though I've not played them

#

The big Mario games

#

You know what you're gonna get is quality, so then it's worth to get the pre order bonus if you're gonna get it anyway

#

imo

#

Okay, this is got way off topic lol

red anvil
#

kinda

jagged crater
#

what are we preordering

pine star
#

London Ultimates' jerseys

With PUBG, you play the same map with the same weapons over and over again

PCGamesN

The best way to win a game of PlayerUnknownโ€™s Battlegrounds is up for debate - is it by dropping into the dense areas filled with loot, risking death from the many other people dropping in, or is it by hiding out in the middle of nowhere? If youโ€™re taking part in a tournament like the invitationals at Gamescom, we have the answer. For tips that might win you a chicken dinner rather than $15,000, here's our guide to winning at PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

trash game holy fuck, start hating it more than all the games im hating rn

fiery swallow

That's insane

#

How did they not see this happening?

Evermore won solo Q because he was hiding all the time

wary falcon
#

who cares about skill?

#

it's all about entertainment

rapid oxide
#

which is not even entertaining

wary falcon
#

130k people were watching how Evermore was running from his death

supple nymph
#

not long ago they said they werent ready for esports and werent even thinking about it

#

now they do this

rapid oxide
#

it has more

#

today is way less

#

technically had more views than LCK iirc

#

let the hype die and let's see how's going

wary falcon
#

Observing in PUBG sucks even more than OW

wintry matrix
#

really? looks super easy to expectate

#

considering how slow paced it is

#

and not being a FPS

fiery swallow
#

The spectator is pretty bad

wary falcon
#

hard to predict where action will start

#

so most of the time it's too late to spectate

wintry matrix
#

i guess, considering there's like 77 people at the start

wary falcon
#

100

#

So firstly Observer will watch skirmish places

#

like Sosnovka

#

yesterday cameraman was showing dead bodies, people who were hiding in cornerc etc

#

sometimes even desktop

he was probably asleep by the high octane gameplay

you don't need to be a good player to win

#

Battlegrounds is a good game, it's not a good esport.

wary falcon
#

unlike arena shooter like a Quake or UT

rapid oxide
#

Quake already dropped in views monkaS

wary falcon
#

playerbase is small

rapid oxide
#

yd was 16k

#

now barely 5k

#

maybe because sacrifice is fucking trash

wary falcon
#

don't see why new players will play arena shooters

rapid oxide

balmy wolf

it is morning in NA

it requires too much skill

15K was when it was afternoon

I honestly think Hafficool is the best Overwatch player at the moment. Scrubs like RYUJEHONG or TAIMOU can't even compare. His D.Va is so majestic and his Genji can kill everybody without even trying. The only reason this man won't be in the OWL is because his destiny is to continue to destroy mid-tier teams

i think it's a bit of the former, being in canada, and playing with a new player

they are still stuck in Canada

a bunch of them anyway

and that was in Dallas

#

i hope you realized that the whole Western O.W is kind of a whole cock sucking circle on discord

supple nymph
#

I know

#

but just because they all do it doesn't mean it isn't fucking stupid and unprofessional

wintry matrix
#

like, is Huk legit business savy, like does he has some understanding of it to be hired by bliss?

#

i only knew him as forer sc2 pro and shitty streamer/caster

balmy wolf
#

probably experienced in both NA and KR scene

#

he knew the people from Kongdoo

sturdy granite
#

Ford Savage AF lol

wintry matrix
#

tbh i kinda understanding not building a team with people who dislike each other because it's good to maintain a good atmosphere, on the other hand, i'd wouldn't say refusing to even try out with ajax is a good sign of professionalism

balmy wolf
#

one other thing to consider is that given the sea of FA atm

#

would Ajax be a good candidate?

wintry matrix
#

i think he would warrant at least try outs

vestal mortar
#

Yes, he was offered the initial try-out, he deserved it and should have been given a chance in my opinion.

wintry matrix
#

like, it would be stupid to assume he played bad on NRG solely by his fault

balmy wolf
#

mind you, teams will refuse try outs if they know a. there are better candidates and b. people don't like X candidate

#

it is kind of the fault of how unprofessional the scene has been running

solid spear
#

it really sucks but its understandable

wintry matrix
#

it was like said, shitty, but not surprising

balmy wolf
#

to also pointed out, we never know why those "pros" shat on Ajax

#

could be his memeing catching up to him

#

or PTSD from playing with him

#

or whatever other reasons is.

wintry matrix
#

btw, what do you mean by his memeing?

balmy wolf
#

well, sometimes he can be really unprofessional

#

remember that tweet that lead him to get the boot from TSM?

#

even Phaz who is known as a "memer" admonished Ajax for it.

wintry matrix
#

the reaver thing?

balmy wolf
#

yeah.

#

and of course all the private clique in the O.W

wintry matrix
#

phaz did worse shit than that

solid spear
#

and for all we know Phaz isnt getting tryouts either its irrelevant

wintry matrix
#

i miss his memes FeelsTiltedMan

balmy wolf
#

nobody really exposes who are they trying out

#

so Ajax making a big noise about this

#

is actually will hurt him in the long run

#

because now some people will see him as a crybaby and a whiner

wintry matrix
#

yeah, while i think Ajax did right by saying that, it will make thins harder for him unfortunately

balmy wolf
#

i mean Ajax could maybe make an enemy out of a bunch of pros due to his conducts on the backdoor of The O.W

#

which lead to this

#

hell, one of the first and foremost advice when I asked about how to get "in" is literally "better start sucking cock"

solid spear
#

I dont think theres any reason to believe hes the enemy of "a bunch of pros" but clearly a couple other tryouts didnt like him and that cost him a potential oppurtunity

#

but as unfortunate as it is, the twitlonger just makes things harderfor him

balmy wolf
#

they didn't like him enough to tell Huk to either kick him out or they will not play

#

and from the sound of it

#

those guys are heavy hitter or at least wanted FAs

All Ajax really does with his tweet is 1. Show that life in pro scene is hard 2. How to get no esport orgs to trust you 3. Act like a little brat to an assisitant

#

i don't think he acted like a brat

#

maybe a little naive

red anvil
#

"Are u srs"

#

wintry matrix
#

not a job,a try out

red anvil
#

fair enough, regardless though

#

Is that what you would say if you was called into an interview but then cancled?

#

or would you try to act proffessional

wintry matrix
#

while i think the best option for Ajax was to shut up and try elsewhere (bc trying to persuade egos is a lost cause), it was a shitty situation nonetheless

#

i guess it was bit unprofessional to leak private messages

#

on other hand, he maybe saw as necessary to prove his point?

#

i dunno, i can only say ajax was naive, not really trying to "crybaby" his way out of the problem

red anvil
#

i really dont see it that way tbh, if i had a really bad history with someone and said person was gone come into an interview to join my team(different type of team ofc), and i had such a bad history with that person that i would leave my current job to avoid it, then i dont see why my boss would want to use 3 days to trail said person

#

genunie waste of time

wintry matrix
#

the thing is he was promised a try out

#

so the manager essentially favored one player over the other

#

which happens

#

and for what ajax said, it was possible for him to try out in a team without that player, so

red anvil
#

The said player might also have disclosed some information about Ajax which we dont know about, but thats speculation ofc.
However, if that person was such a way higher priority then Ajax, would there chance for him to get a spot on the team regardless?

#

Huk saved himself and Ajaxs days of scrimming

wintry matrix
#

considering he was trying out dozens of players, i'd say it wasn't impossible

#

also bc how NRG showed, it doesn't matter shit if you're good but doesn't have good coaching/synergy

#

or if you can't work in a team enviroment when shit gets bad

balmy wolf
#

@clever portal Mangachu is their "star", lol

#

a star whose hero pool is 2

red anvil
#

Also according to Huk, there was multiple reasons he wasent allowed to try out in the end.
And yes indeed, NRG is the perfect example of why you need to prioritize synnergy over induvidual skill, as a hero pool as foundation ofc.

@balmy wolf thoughts on ajax?

#

never getting into org or what

sturdy granite
#

There was a whole discussion a bit ago about it

blazing parrot
#

ye i read that post

#

oh

#

its the comment

balmy wolf
#

either way, Ajax did himself a disservice when he is trying to get sympathy upvotes like that

#

so Ajax better start going to college or something

#

because I don't think he will ever get an OWL spot

blazing parrot
balmy wolf
#

and also another aspect of the story is the question "what did Ajax do that make people in the pro scene disliked him?"

blazing parrot
#

yes

balmy wolf
#

we only know that Ajax said the tryouts doesn't want to play with him, and of course painted himself as just another human being in his twitlonger

#

but I suspect we will never have the answer

#

and the people that Boston was trying out probably are tier 1 talents that doesn't like Ajax

#

so some people were saying it might be Surefour but i'm not sure about that

#

either way

#

sucks for Ajax, but i'm not going to be surprise if he is going to retire from the scene altogether

wintry matrix
#

well, anything really can make people hate each other

#

everyone inside says ajax is the bad guy

#

but from the outside huk is more likely to be

balmy wolf
#

well allegedly Gods was just helping out his friend in TSM in term of screening talents

#

but somebody said that Gods was actually trying to get Pookz to try out instead

#

so he sabotaged Ajax

#

of course this is just largely conjectures and hearsay tho

"helping out TSM" is such a BS excuse bc no one really cared about the tweet before gods dug up
