what's the point of switching when you're only good on that one character anyway
most one tricks kinda delude themselves into thinking they aren't one, fact is you are considerably better at widow than other heroes and the point is the hypocrisy of a one trick complaining about one tricks, who cares if you switch if ur a bot on other heroes.

My english skill is bad so my translation is not perfect. So I'd thank you consider it. After suffering from toxicity, he said this is shit game and i'm sick of it. Blizz does nothing to trolls. Opponents throw game. My team throw. Everyone throw. I don't know What the hell has happened to this game. I'm tired of it. honestly, I don't know what i'm doing. i'd rather streaming other games and reviewing them is good for my life than being OW pro. There's nothing done whatever you do troll, insult others. Other games like LOL, DOTA has their strict punishment system to toxicity but OW? nothing. you'd better hang out with your friends talking over a drink than buy OW priced $40. Hey Deamin (Kongdoo Uncia DPS) come here. Competitive is shit, isn't it?. Deamin said shit and F. Look, this is the response of almost all OW players. What do you think of competitive? Shit. It would be better against aimbot than toxicity. I don't know why Blizz doesn't handdle this though OW is one of the most successive game

Hello, this is Rascal.
I apologize on behalf of yesterdayβs nasty incident where my use of words was casual. Because of the words I chose, I apologize for the fans who use Twitter and were hurt by them. Down below, I apologize on the incident.
When I was first going out with my girlfriend, there were people who were cursing us out with rumors and unsourced statements. Afterwards, a bunch of twitter accounts I was close with started cursing me out through DMs. It was to the point that I was thinking about closing my Twitter account. And now, I donβt think too well of those who started those rumors on Twitter. While I was talking with Bdosin yesterday, he brought up that things regarding his dating life were spreading [on Twitter]. Because I felt bad and wanted to make Bdosin not get stressed and worried about it, I used the word βtwitter bitchesβ when regarding those people. However, when using this word, I was not trying to deceive and curse out the fans who sincerely supported us but to instead forget about all of the annoyances and betrayals I felt. I sincerely apologize. Also, I was not trying to shame the others who use twitter (or other twitters/social media?).
However, because I know that many fans feel seriously hurt and betrayed, I feel that it will not be easy to just simply apologize for this. Through yesterdayβs mistake, I realized how much weight our actions had. If I were to ever look back at how I was that day, I will regret it. I apologize for inconveniencing a lot of people with this.

is dallas known for being blue?
my city doesn't really have colors so i am unfamiliar with this concept
slim summit
ah cool
terse remnant
slim summit
that's probably a better indicator than org colors then
since it makes sense for china to be red π
terse remnant
yeah its something you would only really know if you were from the city so i can understand if people werent aware why they chose those colors. but i think its a pretty cool homage to the city
i wonder what all the other team colors are going to be
i really like the idea of team skins though.

It will make people pay attention when OWL is live for sure

Friendly reminder Dallas is used to having teams with shity names.
I think Fuel is alrightthough
Mostly because it reminds me of Calgary Flames, which is alright
Im interested to learn more about the rest of the teams
Never really cared much for eSports before, but this league has baited some interested.
From me at least.

I can at least enjoy LH being horrible.

LH LOST? P O G G E R S

Now I can enjoy apex

Whoru is actually SUPER overrated
quiet shell
Poor LH
Going down the same road as Rogue
Their dps are literally a one-trick and they aren't in the top of that hero either. What a shame for 2 times apex champion. I feels bad for RJH and zunba.
wintry matrix
i don't think so, remember that they are already in OWL, so they can afford to lose to experiment their DPS
quiet shell
their dps stayed on the same heroes constantly, tracer genji, the stars of LH are defo the supports and tanks
although Miro has been slacking lately
with more and more teams picking up winston
clear vale
best team btw haHAA
solid spear
lol LH was sandbagging theyll still sweep everyone in OWL
limpid estuary
I don't know much about LH
I take it they are a good team?
(God I feel like the guy that goes into lore asking if Rein is Pharahs dad)
drowsy loom
They are the Back to Back APEX (top Overwatch touney in Korea) Champions for S2 and S3
limpid estuary
That was almost a year ago, yes?
limpid estuary
Oh it's different than OW seasons
drowsy loom
yeah APEX is on Season 4 now
limpid estuary
And I'm guessing they're in the OWL now too
drowsy loom
yeah they are team seoul
clever portal
They were very good
A few months ago probably the best team in the world
A lot of LH members were in team korea
drowsy loom
But the big thing is that they were 3-0 twiced by a Challengers team (Tier 3 in Korea)
drowsy loom
Just lack of adaptability
they struggled against MVP Space with their Doomfist
they struggled against Busan with their pharah
I think the weakest link of today was Whoru
clever portal
They need to sign someone new
Sayaplayer is still not taken
Could be a stable hitscan
clever portal
Esca is good, not at the level of a top tier hitscan
RJH is stuck on heals
Unless they find a healer
clever portal
He should go back to streaming

Lmao
i don't follow apex much this season
did LH get kicked out?
I thought it was double elims
blazing parrot
They got eliminated for the season
its over for them
semi finals is next week
put esca on mei or sombra and hes 
wintry matrix
you guys also have to remember that there was very little time between apex s3 finals and apex s4 starting
one of the reasons they lost to MVP Space was because they didn't had enough time to prepare for them (also how Doomfist was new at that time)
not saying their dps isn't their weakest link
blazing parrot
@wintry matrix most people here love seeing the reigning champions torn down
Save your breath fingers
scarlet spear
esca/whoru were kinda underwhelming today tho
wintry matrix
when it's rogue it's fine
blazing parrot
sure
wintry matrix
blazing parrot
wintry matrix
but i think LH might actually be on a donward trend
blazing parrot
@scarlet spear imo busans figured out all of LH's weakpoints and LH hasnt been able to react fast enough
wintry matrix
also people were saying GC Busan were one of the strongest teams in s5
blazing parrot
wintry matrix
or Rein become ssuper meta
scarlet spear
@blazing parrot tru, i loved when GC came out with pharah and whoru was on Junk
blazing parrot
Exactly
scarlet spear
blazing parrot
Busans knew LH's weak spots
ryuje is the only one on that team that can play a decent soldier
but hes too busy on support
wintry matrix
i'm not sure RJH soldier is any better than gido or Esca
also because we only saw it in a 4 dps defense or in overtime pushes
blazing parrot
gido is better on tracer
and esca on soldier
eh

jagged crater
who exactly is competing in c9 EU for contenders tomorrow?
toxic yacht
c9 EU roster, not k9
jagged crater
didnt they lose 2 players
jagged crater
surefour subbin in?
blazing parrot
probably not
jagged crater
so nevix and mikeya on dps, mowzassa on tank, space for flex, greyy and neptuno on supp
space the only NA player to be on the c9 eu roster which is interesting
eiter way it's gonna be rough vs misfits considering they have 2 standins, dont even know what the state of c9 EU is gonig to be
river birch
I cant consider ow to be balanced until sym is meta
blazing parrot
Its pretty much dead
jagged crater
surely sym is meta with Nut! on top 10 of the ladder :p
does he solo queue or play at off times?
blazing parrot
Symms too easy to play around in a pro level setting
jagged crater
cyriousity
river birch
That is but one man, I want all symmains to play free of harassment
jagged crater
whatever he's doing got be some magical shit
jagged crater
no idea how you can maintain top 10 as a sym main in this meta without duo+ queueing
blazing parrot
Cant be harassed if you dont see or hear it 
river birch
Honestly, I feel like picking up sym, her dmg is somewhat reliable
jagged crater
what are the odds of the c9 EU players getting picked up by an OWL team at this time?
even if they somehwo win the tournament as massive underdogs
blazing parrot
dps sub is my guess
blazing parrot
thats like saying you would take tviq off of dps and put him on a team as a fill player
jagged crater
but dps sub is prob most reasonable given how most subs are dps given most diverse hero pools
tviq has a wide dps hero pool, nevix has a wide hero pool in general
blazing parrot
tviq can play every hero tho
jagged crater
im sure he could tho but from past experience, nevix has played both flex and support at a pro level
blazing parrot
but hes better on dps
jagged crater
but again dps sub is most likely like you said
blazing parrot
so you wouldnt want him on fill
jagged crater
is there that list of OWL slots still unknown?
