wintry matrix
#

a bit like McGravy for Envi

supple nymph
clever wagon
#

Imt flaunting their 20mil OWL free pass?

void timber
wintry matrix
#

btw, who's Codey?

exotic cobalt
#

Pro sombra player considered the best

#

But idk if he really is

#

He broke his wrist recently

void timber
#

Codeyniku?

#

He used to stream a lot too actually but quit and he had a discord (used to be in it) but he removed it all... FeelsBadMan

exotic cobalt
#

What he quit

void timber
exotic cobalt
#

When did he quit

void timber
#

Just a recently

#

Now hes a widow one trick

#

๐Ÿ˜ฉ ๐Ÿ˜ค

exotic cobalt
#

I thought he plays Cree and widow

balmy wolf
#

pro Sombra

#

ladder warrior maybe

clever wagon
#

Yeah

wintry matrix
#

that actually reminds, do we actually have anyone considered a top sombra player in pro?

clever wagon
#

He was pro (ladder) Sombra a while before Sombra was meta

#

EscA is one

wintry matrix
#

oh yeah

#

what about the western scene?

clever wagon
#

Greyy

wintry matrix
#

really?

#

people say he's good, but he didn't impress me much on LK/c9

clever wagon
#

At least I know he's famous for his sombra

#

Kinda hard to judge the levels of sombra in west

#

Because they're not as dedicated as Koreans

#

In picking her

#

Like

wintry matrix
#

kinda like today's sombra

#

i forgot which team

#

but like, only EMPbot, didn't go for none hacks

clever wagon
#

These days you know LH has spent enough time incorporating EscA sombra for us to expect him going sombra on a lot of maps

wintry matrix
#

Babybay

clever wagon
#

Like its actually one of their go-to

#

Staple strat

#

Dont remember west scene having anybody like that so far

#

Because they just simply pick Sombra way less for us to judge and compare

balmy wolf
#

well you kind of have to remember that the West don't try to use Sombra as a seperate character

#

not just an EMP bot

#

Misfits is trying to use her as a seperate character

#

and FNRGFE in some lengths

#

so there's that at least

wintry matrix
#

yeah, bani seemed alright on sombra

blazing parrot
#

eh

balmy wolf
#

nah usually when that happens Buds is the one on Sombra. Bani as support is kind of average

#

solo rez on Mercy

#

sometimes dying with Sombra

#

etc etc

#

his Zen and Ana are his best

clever wagon
forest raven
#

rip PMA

clever wagon
#

Next myklul is gonna retort with how he has more total kills in a whole contenders season when EnVy hasnt played the same amount of games

drowsy loom
#

I like how Fire and McGravy both retweeted Mkyl's tweet about "Kungarna sitting on top" in Week 2

#

I don't like Kungarna, but I feel bad for Dogman

clever wagon
#

I mean, the unlikeable one there is pretty much only mykl

forest raven
#

Everyone on Kung is seemsgood besides Mykl and Babybay imo

clever wagon
#

Even babybay isnt as noisy these days

#

And he still does more work as dps than myklul

forest raven
#

Mhm

clever wagon
#

More consistent

drowsy loom
#

I mean most people didn't like Babybay because he got VACed in CSGO, but he's alright

#

also I heard that Bischu also shittalked C9 before Mykl

#

Pookz is cool tho

clever wagon
#

Pookz is Bill

wintry matrix
#

tbh Mykl doesn't shittalk as much as we shittalk him

clever wagon
#

Bill wwill never be not fun

#

We shittalk Mykl because Mykl shittalks without any factual backup

#

Ofc we'd shittalk more if we're in the retorting position

drowsy loom
#

And the fact that he is complete garbage

wintry matrix
#

what i'm saying is he's kinda like hafficool

#

shittalked way less than the people shittalked him

balmy wolf
#

well

clever wagon
#

But other pros dont shittalk as much as he does

wintry matrix
#

but yeah, mykl is one of the most visible cases of underperforming

clever wagon
#

And theyre mostly banter rather than shittalk

balmy wolf
#

that's only if you did not remember that someone implied Gods fucked over Ajax so that his friend Pookz can land a trial at TSM

wintry matrix
#

i dunno, i'd say mickle isn't the top shittalker

#

selfless and rogue did more or equal amounts

#

Gods is shady

drowsy loom
#

i'd say Taimou does a LOT of shittalking, but he has the skill to back it up

#

Like how he called out Winz for being boosted

wintry matrix
#

you could say taimou shittalks in a smarter way than most people

#

like, the moment to shittalk, who and how to shittalk

balmy wolf
#

tbf to Winz he only underperforms recently

#

nobody every shit talked him during Rogue height of domination

wintry matrix
#

i think people shit him even then

drowsy loom
#

because his job was to babysit the payload

#

its hard to mess that up

wintry matrix
#

as he ain't the greatest at lucio

balmy wolf
#

people already disliked him over his tweets. But then from hating him into hating the whole team

#

which was rather amusing and sad at the same time

#

and right now given that everyone is diving on top of each other, his jobs suddenly got a lot harder now

#

unlike when Rogue can bully people with their aggression

#

and he could just do a casual job protecting Unkoe

drowsy loom
#

I mean Unkoe is definitely OWL caliber. AKM and Soon could also make a team. The rest of Rogue just isn't that great anymore

balmy wolf
#

uh idk about that

#

Knoxxx is one of the underrated Winston out there

#

and he is the brain of the team

#

NicoGDH can be a good bench player

wintry matrix
#

what he has besides genji?

drowsy loom
balmy wolf
#

Zarya

#

he is less of a flex that DPS but rather a DPS that flex

wintry matrix
#

he ain't great at dva

balmy wolf
#

which limited him greatly

#

and he is not like Emongg who will just grind whatever characters that the team needs in ranked

#

he barely grind any D.va in stream

#

always just sticking onto Genji

wintry matrix
#

did he played zarya really? i don't remember at all

#

yeah, that makes nico look not appealing at all

#

except if his zarya is fire

balmy wolf
#

he played it before. Played it vs Immortals when they were playing tank for like 3 seconds.

#

his Zarya is decent but not Spree level

#

NicoGDH is kind of inconsistent in a role that requires him to be consistent

#

all the off tank players are fucking consistent people

#

who performs well even if their team underperforms

drowsy loom
#

Envy?

wintry matrix
#

coolmatt

balmy wolf
#

Immortals problems extends more than just Envy

#

he just got scapegoated

#

as evidenced by how Immortals still struggled when their posterboy Hyped was in

#

and it didn't make any difference.

drowsy loom
#

I still think they looked better, but definitely not the same as in S0

#

They already have a OWL spot, so they are probably just trying new things

balmy wolf
#

If you look at good off tanks like Coolmatt69, Emongg, Mickie and Zunba, you rarely see them having an ESCA LUL moment.

#

it is always everyone else

wintry matrix
#

did emongg played anything other than hog on selfless?

#

before dafran left

#

and they fell off

balmy wolf
#

he was their "flex"

wintry matrix
#

i know he's good on ranked, but on pro level i only remember him on hog

balmy wolf
#

well he played way before Selfless was a thing

#

he played Winston, D.va before

wintry matrix
#

k then

balmy wolf
#

at the height of Selfless he was instalocking Hog

drowsy loom
#

I think he also played Orisa once when Sinatraa went Bastion on Kings Row once

balmy wolf
#

huh

#

@wintry matrix so apparently the reason they now has more breaks

#

is that they use the break to power cycle

#

to lessen packet loss and more stable internet

wintry matrix
#

oh, then that's fine

#

tho they could fill the airtime with something

#

the desk or whatever

void timber
#

Yall sleeping on danteh for??

#

No ones seen somji in rank top 3 or recognize dantehs sombras stats...? O_o

#

i mean, the somji account got suspended before the season ended but

#

Still why

blazing parrot
#

eh

#

hes not in the pro scene right now

void timber
#

Danteh...

blazing parrot
#

ladders aight

void timber
#

LOL

#

???

#

He was former rank 1

blazing parrot
#

so?

void timber
#

Are you guys EU or something

blazing parrot
#

@balmy wolf

#

zzzzz

void timber
#

He ended with rank 4

blazing parrot
#

im out lel

void timber
#

lul

balmy wolf
#

ladder warrior =/= pro

void timber
#

He is a pro player, 4Head

balmy wolf
#

and yes Danteh is a pro but he never really used his Sombra in pro

#

mostly his Tracer

void timber
#

Yeah he has..

#

A lot LoL

#

Check his stats and he has an account for sombra only actually but ok

#

And hes used sombra in tournaments

balmy wolf
#

which match, then?

void timber
#

But yeah

balmy wolf
#

which match?

void timber
#

Stay asleep

balmy wolf
#

I ask you again, which match did Danteh using Sombra when he was playing with Arc6 @void timber ?

void timber
#

Yes..

blazing parrot
#

yes

#

good answer

void timber
#

Yikes at the time before they switched to arc6

blazing parrot
#

which match
yes

#

C:

void timber
#

So a while ago

#

I said yes to when he was playing with arc6

blazing parrot
#

which

#

match

balmy wolf
#

Danteh did play Sombra while during Arc6 by the way, but I'm not entirely sure if you know what map vs which one, but rather to just saying it because someone else said it.

void timber
#

It was on gibraltar i forget against who

#

He got potg for ot

#

It*

#

And it was on twitter which is why i remember

#

@blazing parrot yo you said you were leaving lul pce??

blazing parrot
#

doesnt mean i cant lurk

#

@balmy wolf barcode is tier 2 right?

void timber
balmy wolf
#

not sure..........................................due to the fact that i don't remember her in any tier 2 teams

blazing parrot
#

oh rip

void timber
#

Uni student so cringey ahahh, anyways gnight

#

Just thought id say that ^^^

blazing parrot
#

lel

#

@balmy wolf theres a good chance danteh's getting picked up for owl, no?

balmy wolf
#

probably, but it depends on the try outs

blazing parrot
#

mmh

void timber
#

Hes already been in scrims and they announce that in 3 days or so idk

#

Hes on a team but cant say rn

#

So ya

blazing parrot
#

alright

wintry matrix
#

maybe i'm wrong

blazing parrot
#

@void timber im probably going to keep being cringey for as long as i live

#

oh well

wintry matrix
#

but danteh never impressed me on arc6/yikes/denial

blazing parrot
#

lel

void timber
#

Its alright

wintry matrix
#

you could say that to arc6/yikes/denial in general except maybe for xqc

void timber
#

Same with me

wintry matrix
#

and zza pharah

blazing parrot
#

i dont really care

wintry matrix
#

i guess gingerpop was a good mercy

blazing parrot
#

xqc

Gingerpop BibleThump

#

His montage had me

balmy wolf
#

Gingerpop could probably have a spot

#

but his limitations seems to be Zen

void timber
#

I still watch his streams tbh

#

xqcChamp i loved the yikes team

#

Id probably prefer gingerpops ana

#

Than his mercy though

balmy wolf
#

I mean

#

with xQC leaked the other day

#

might as well just assume that Danteh is in NRG

#

thanks xQC for all the leakage

blazing parrot
#

danteh and sinatraa tho?

supple nymph
#

need someone who is old enough for season 1

blazing parrot
#

dhak might be on nrg too

#

dhak sleepy sinatraa

clever wagon
#

I mean I don't know why you're trying to put barcode in a tier

#

She's great and all but she hasn't been in any competition to be put into tiers

blazing parrot
#

@clever wagon im not trying to put her in a tier

#

im asking if shes in one right now

#

or not

wintry matrix

she scrims

@wintry matrix danteh was literally the best player on that team

No

#

ArHaN was the best

And Danteh is OWL material, i thought he was on NRG before sinatraa was announced

Danteh is OWL material but Sinatraa is still a shoe above him

@solid spear better than xqc?

#

remember the times that arc6 found success was eithe with linkzr/silkthread boosting service, or zza's pharah

#

or selfless tilting

solid spear
#

I mean the only time they played with silk they finished 3rd and Danteh was playing too and Linkzr they literally played with for literally one day cuz danteh was graduating or some shit

#

So I mean yeah Danteh didn't play one day

wintry matrix
#

i'm not saying he's bad, just that he ain't great

solid spear
#

I mean he was their best player and defintely one of the top NA FA

#

There's a reason hes been tried out on multiple OWL teams

wintry matrix
#

i guess i didn't pay enough attention to him

#

to me he seemed just ok

@balmy wolf you got jebaited LUL...

And the team houses are in the west coast... so yeah

solid spear
#

Danteh and Sin have like the same pool

void timber
#

Thinkrage not saying danteh can only play tracer, but...its just really?

except Danteh plays like Sombra and D.Va too but would almost never be on either

void timber

You let xqc jebait you... LUL

#

He would be on a dps hero yeah

solid spear

they both play Tracer/Genji/Zarya

void timber

They both would

#

Yeah

Both very nutty

and theyre both working on DF

theres way too much overlap

i think the criticism is deserved

#

but twitch chat will always go overboard

clever portal
#

I thought the constructive criticsm thread was okay

#

A lot of the stuff was true

#

For example limited vocabulary

#

Goes off on a tangent

#

Obviously reddit overreacts

#

And he is new

#

I feel he's better suited for the desk

#

And even then maybe for fun events

red anvil
#

he got struggle with game sense, and made it worse by being extremly unsure of himself this weekend

#

He worked way better as a desk person unfortuantly

drowsy loom
#

Casting and commentating are completely different. I liked Goldenboy at the World Cup because he's more casual and fun as a host, but when your casting the biggest tournament in NA, it's less appropriate to spend 30 seconds making a dick joke.

wintry matrix
#

i don't even think the joke is the biggest problem

#

is simply his lack of knowledge

drowsy loom
#

But I mean Contenders is a training ground, so I'm assuming that GB wants to maybe cast in OWL. This is why we aren't seeing monte and DoA, because they are showing the newer people like Mr. X and Goldenboy the tools of the trade.

wintry matrix
#

no

#

contenders isn't supposed to be atranining ground

#

you need to grind in small shit

#

like, Left Guy casted small tournaments

#

vods, weeklies

#

not a big tournament like contenders

#

like, Mr.X started way better than goldenboi because i think he was already a caster, and improved more than GB

clever portal
#

Hopefully goldenboy clears some stuff up on stream

#

Or gives his side of the story

wintry matrix
#

that will be cool

toxic yacht
#

Mr X has been casting for a year

#

Only at big events

#

But he mostly got paired with experienced casters (uber, zp, etc)

void timber
#

oooo

drowsy loom
#

In Comparison to OWL Contenders is nothing. Goldenboy also casted a Monthly Melee, the Open, and MLG Vegas, so he's not completely inexperienced. But I'd rather that the smaller people Improve in Contenders than having shit casters and spectators in OWL

clever portal
#

When did goldenboy do monthly melee?

drowsy loom
#

December according to Liquidpedia

#

wat

#

hardly anyone has been officially signed?

balmy wolf
#

a bunch of people already signed

#

just unannounced

#

one person I can probably think of is probably JAKE

#

he is getting all these exposure from World Cup and such

#

probably will get sign

#

but role players wise i'm not quite sure if he is the best choice in today's loaded FA range

wintry matrix
#

i think you'd get jake more because of his personality and brains than pure mechanical skill

#

after all we always joke he's budget tviq

#

or maybe they can't afford tviq, but still want it

west cedar
#

Danteh is signed im pretty sure aswell

balmy wolf
#

@wintry matrix basically

wintry matrix
#

there's also the possibility they're trying him for IGL as lucio or something

balmy wolf
#

JAKE has expressed positivity about it

#

but signing JAKE vs KRs level mechanical players in a role that requires either very high mechanical skill is kind of questionable

#

then again I called LGEvil mid tier and Harsha/the gang disagreed on it

blazing parrot
#

misfits is signed on too right?

wintry matrix
#

they have backing

#

well, for that there's the IMT argument of KRs not meshing well

balmy wolf
#

change in shotcalling might be detrimental

wintry matrix
#

btw, these new teams won't have much time to practice right?

#

considering it starts OWL at the decemeber

balmy wolf
#

idk tbh

#

they might just practicing now vs Contenders team

#

and if anything I'd wait until APAC 2017

#

which is when a few of those teams will be invited.

wintry matrix
#

but like, only scrims, not real tournaments

balmy wolf
#

it is still practice

#

unless you think stomping teams in weekly is good practice

wintry matrix
#

i meant more like big stuff like contenders

#

i get it that there isn't much big tourney

#

but still, only scrims till OWL, maybe a few in APAC

the question is whether greyy will be the last original LK member on it, or will he get the boot too

Greyy is the least inconsistent

but for all the talks about his Sombra

his Ana/Zen is just not good

btw also, from the sounds of his stream, i don't think goldenboi wants to be in OW for the long run

balmy wolf
#

well he doesn't seems to be welcomed

#

so why should he

#

especially when he is not their first choice at all

wintry matrix
#

not because of that

#

and apparently contenders it was a testing ground for everyone

#

like, he took the job because he wanted to train as a caster, but his stuff is other games

#

even then way he talked about seemed like he could appear in OW in the future

#

is just that is not his focus/objective

balmy wolf
#

well his casting just needs a lot of work really

i dunno how he would cast other esports tho

one bad thing i can say about LB is how boring the visual style is

thing is, judging by the premise and setting, i think LB is supposed to be wacky and more stylish than that

COD looks better because it adheres well to it's setting, and just by virtue of it's graphicas

it is wacky in the same sense of a 40 years old man think of what the young kids like

the problem with Mei is that Meta used it once

everyone now expecting it

they got really far by using mei in different ways

like they did the boost on dorado i linked above

they did the eichenwalde boost against nV

grizzled mulch
#

also the meta shifted to the point where Mei wall isn't viable anymore

drowsy loom
#

mei isn't really viable on attack period

wintry matrix

also because Mei is best against tanks

why doesn't north korea have an esports team

and we just came out of dive meta

probably because gaming isn' big there

meh, attack mei was a thing before

wintry matrix
#

if they have games at all

drowsy loom
#

but they really only used mei for the boost

#

they never even attempted it after S2

it was like Wolf said, it was a limited gimmick, to use only once because after that the others team will prepare for it, since the gimmick relies on surprise to work
