@limber pine get me Saebyeolbe's sweaty jersey, no matter the cost 
Saebyeolbe said he'll be extremely nervous facing USA OpieOP
As a LoL esports fans, there's one rule everyone in every esport need to remember
Koreans don't mean what they say
Why's my message getting instantly deleted whenever I press enter? π€
Does it contain a twitch emote?
Probably Twitch emotes in them
no twitch emotes allowed? π¦
Yeah
Nopes
For some reason
if USA somehow beats SK, will we win it all?
Of course, the crowd is cheering with them always! π
usa beating SK LUL
Inb4 they win against SK and choke massively against China/France
lol the blizzcon bay channel has been shutdown now lul
rip
Honestly I'm not really excited for the opening judging from past year. It's all gonna be E-sports stuff I wanna bet.
That makes me excited tbh

So did Blizzard fix Team China's problems or did they replace the players?
Oh, right... Moth meta is here.
Moth meta LMFAO
IS THIS NERFED MERCY PATCH OR NOT NERF
Not nerf
I think not
get ready for mercy meta

DM nerf?
yeah, dva rockets and dm nerf
hmm, 3-1 uk win?
uk all the way
ZP and Hex 
ZP AND HEX!!!
POG

ZP looks 30 years younger wtf
The entire desk gave the win to sweden, so UK wins π€
zp & hex hell yea

π¬π§ LETS π¬π§ GO π¬π§
M O T H A T T A C K
only 1 OWL player in UK
Yup, boombox
Viewers?! 
Yeh
Thats hype
160k!!!!!
helps that it's being advertised in the game home screen
also there will be people who join later
WOO new Spectator mode
new spec Poggers
That's a pogger my doggies
ooft this HUD is sexy
omg them colored abilities
Chips is on mercy π€
They would be stupid to not run mercy
no its not just you.
Chips used to be a godlike Mercy back in the day
it doesn't look distinctive enough to me tbh
IMO they shouldent be using white for away.
Yea, I dont know if these new spectetor mode are worth it
It's less spectator mode as it is color choice
blue and white are too similar
they need to fix that contrast :/
It's harder to watch than before..
wtf is this color contrasts on stream -.-
yeah color contrast is terrible
red vs blue would def be better contrast
I thought Sweden's names would be like blue instead of white with blue outlines
yea their names being white throws it off more
Yea, red v blue would make way more sense than light blue and white...
This doesn't like right
This looks like a really awkward colourblind mode
Names should probably be left red-blue or just colorize the whole text instead of just outlines
LOL this is so bad
I feel like this spectator mode is something we have to adept to
They all look white
Oh I really like the spectator mode
Gotta start off with the worst color blending together (Blue and White)
yeah, was odd with the new colours
just the colors are bad
This is really bad, they are all literally white to me
yeah these first colors are weird
fix that and it could be good
some of the others really clash which is good
Lets hope the other matches will look better
The secondary shouldn't be white
again no mercy?
The blue should be more...blue
Should be inverted
This feels weird for Sweden to be blue
UK not running mercy, interesting move
Like
At this point I dont know its because im used to the old colors, and if the away team color being white based is just bad.
zebbo ult
If Sweden primary is blue with yellow accents
it's super clear on the blizzcon site
The away should be yellow with blue accents
Stats 
Not fucking white
I expected UK to be red
zebbo showing he can not only throw sound barriers, but also traasncendences
yeah why isn't it blue/red and not blue/white
Just use color fill the on screen names instead of red & blue being outlines and it's gonna be solved
they removed unecessary shit
The team jerseys are awesome
Holy shit yea, everything is super clear on the actual site, twitch is odd
wow yeah thats way better haha
The names area all white too
What actual site
blizzcon
Aren't they using Twitch player-- oh wait
can bearly see these white shields
7835 kbps
def need some improvements
That's already higher than Twitch's max bitrate
Which is around like what, 6000ish?
If the blue teams name plates were blue with a white shadow, i think this would be better.
This is slowly getting a little eaiser to watch.
^
Im gonna wait till the end of the event to bitch.
a new spec watching this would be confused af
I still think white should NOT be the away color
Sweden should be blue home, yellow away
UK should be blue home, red away
white is awful for this
Is there a tournament bracket for world cup
I still think white should NOT be the away color
White shouldn't be used as color fill, ever
Agreed
I mean
It would be could as a home color, for, say, Finland
With blue effects
White alone looks fine
But not like this
Yeah, I do like them live stat overlays thoe.
They are trying to follow as simillar to the NFL/NBA as possible
as away colour features white
White blending with any color looks trash
but they should diversify it more if they are going to use white
but UK is on RED team side, has WHITE skins, and the icon lower left is BLUE
wtf is this
But the new Spectator looks cool though
I know
Red/blue side don't really matter anymore
Yeah, aside from the color issuies, i agree.
Still better than Red/Blue side
Was odd to get used to, at first
but this makes everything easier, even though away looks very dull
how is home colour even picked? Sweden aren't exactly at home right now
Probably seeding
Nor are the brits
Hmm, I just noticed
It's as simple as red and blue
Lucio's Songs are the same color
UK are in away colours
everything is the same colour as thier skin
UK health bars are red
this fucking mercy meta is so fucking infuriating
you wat
I just noticed there's an attack icon besides the UK logo on top
just the DVA bomb it's more clear to see
The only problem is that they used very monotone looking colours, and change the entire hud
Very monotone looking colors, AKA white
white color banned in future
for someone like me watching on low quality because of my shit internet, i have no idea whats going on
this looks like ass
fucc the british flag
It'll look like 3d glasses
anyone elses blizzcon stream fucking up?
If UK is white
no
BARRIER
What color will SK be?
yeah more red and blue pls
do people really think th colors are that bad? twitch chat is all complaining about it
so kruise killed tracer, and blue skull showed up
i think its so much beter
I don't understand these colours
it's an improvement
I feel like Swedens colors got Darker
but it's ugly for away team, or choice of flag colours on the hud
UK has shit ult management
206 LUL
lul
watching UK is like watching runaway
Yeah but runaways is actually likable
lol
Cwoosh has been so nutty this game
how do you know whats going on
Cwoosh was so rusty at the Qualifers tho
cwoosh and tviq
sweden shooting white bullets too
But today
the ult charge indicators are an improvement though
TviQ also constantly tried to be a solo carry
I mean tviq fucked it up real hard at the contenders finals
they look blue until they engage and then its like white particles both ways
But today he's doing work
wow
Dat helix 
f

f
dem stats 
lol the UK
MikeyA is cracking under the pressure
Hex just had a brain fart
so, how much of that helix was pure luck? Nah, tviq is just pure skill
time to change nationality
Snillo has just been out preforming him like crazy
@silk linden he has the good junkrat mentality, spam the right spot
true
but cmon, both supports
the players prolly dont
Calculated
unnecessary complication for them
it's TviQ
if you wathed him he kept predicting helixs throughout the back
what's new
he was eventually gonna lan done
what was that peripheral layout
Doesn't look like the players see the things we see
are they watching blue/white also?
No
https://i.imgur.com/fg3F8eF.png feelsgoodman
Since I saw one of the screens, I saw Colors on Lucios aura
While they're white on the spectator mode
blue genji looks nice
The only thing i saw lul
lol everyone and their mothers defending the Mercy
what is kruise doing
Did Mercy just become fucking Bastion? lul
idk it just did
lol they got them back to their spawn
while payload is at starting point π
UK stubbornly refusing to pick mercy god bless
what is the payload ? ask your zen main to your right π
that was the best line from the OW presentation
LMAO
what was the point of that???
What ult management? 
@smoky hinge bronze ult management ?
yeah, why are they not going mercy on this patch
why is UK commiting soduko
UK Ult Management LUL
no seriously why are they not
uk esports godlul
i hope its not dive v dive the rest of the wc, its so boring
ayy
lets switch to mercy
πΈπͺ

I'm just waiting for my home country to get burnt alive by Canada :(
but CA has s4 & XQC so it's all g
what's the next game
im just here to watch comedic stomp from kr on usa
sweden already pretty much won
i sincerely cannot wait to look at the statistics for the cup when it's over and see how EVERY SINGLE TIME a team didn't run mercy was a loss for them. gonna rewatch the rein short instead and cry
yea but the US is gud
xQc and S4 can beat 6stack hackers
I know
this is a stroll for them
that vs Australia
KR vs US

yes
isnt that one last?
korea obliterating US will make me feel better about UK throwing
USA USA USA USA
am i the only one finding this UK vs SWEDEN UI colour scheme kinda annoying and hard to follow ?
tricky ur a brit?
yea
Did yall see the new hero?
f
@stone escarp You're not the only one, at all...
lmfao
IIQD
BAIL
Its kind annoying
IDD
Korea obliterating everyone*
you re not alone
MY BOI
@stone escarp no, white should be banned
Swedes have it done right
i think there will have to be some colors banned
i feel like half of the issue was both particles were too white
Just get rid of away wtf it's just the world cup
i mean white could be on the team skin - but not as the damn main color
yeah
particles, bullet traces, shields, even the kill skull icon was all wrong
beautifullll pulse bomb
Fancy replays
its a bleached version of ow
Yeah even the shade of blue, is abit off specially when characters are playing in a shadowy area
look at those colors
Ooooh Slow Motion
@hollow grove TRU
why aren't the panel talking about the bad ults from UK
lol
oh my

lol
who is playing next ?
canada and australia
eheheh..
Red vs yellow
once UK lose this next match
That should show how good the new spec mode really is
π
I love this top down view
but itll just end up being red v white
Canada VS Australia 1:45pm PDT
China VS France
3:15pm PDT
South Korea VS U.S.A
4:45pm PDT
they need to use contrasting colors ie blue orange, yellow purple, red green
yeah white and blue wtf
If it's anything like traditional sports, away colors should only be used if the teams have conflicting colors
yes
and like.. everything? even the ui and spell effects? sigh
I'm actually ok with the gui changing
vote where
lol

one thing for sure, no one will use purple, because it was an expensive color in past, so no one has it on their flags
so you also watch youtube recommended videos

I saw that video lol
I wanted to buy a purple shawl yesterday but it was too expensive
heh.. ''whorus''
π€¦ββοΈ
whoru
whorus 
RIP Whoru 
LMAO REVIVED
I can distinguish teams now, which is what they aimed for. But now I can't distinguish heroes, abilities, or hud icons like I could before :/
@balmy wolf in past. and i am not kidding. "The first purple dyes were almost entirely sourced from one species of sea snail harvested from a small part of the Mediterranean. It took 10,000 of these snails to produce just a single gram of dye. For this reason, purple was worth more than its weight in gold prior to the 19th century."
@mortal bear i cant even distinguish teams
too much white
and now on snow map
ffs
both sides particles are white as fuck
yeah
@wintry kraken I know
finally they pick mercy
either make uk less white or make sweden more yellow/blue
chips sombra π
Wait so what happened to the map thing they mentioned?
chris just suicide
Oof
this looks like watching overwatch with a snapchat filter...
these skins looks pretty nice, not gonna lie
I don't mind the colours
as a team thing I mean
@silk linden tru
they certainly do their job in differentiating the teams and showing them as a unity

bad timing
insert "Captain, I can't see shit" picture
Blizz do have testers right?
oof
it's a huge imrpovement from before
But it's certainly the right direction
just colours
BOOMBOX
Yeah
that valk π€
this seems a lot easier to follow for newer people
And the way they developer, it's really easy to fix
im still adjusting tho
Hopefully
white & blue is particularly hard to follow in volksya
kruise wtf
where even the environment is white and blue
never been so bored with this mercy meta
is kruise legit throwing lul
Lmao
hes so mad
That top down view is 
team dead? better dive in and ult
^
ππΌ
last push
chips just bullying boombox
f
rip push
lol mercy
Seeing moth queen getting delayed is oddly satisfying
UK is a joke right now lol
are they playing on ptr patch?
wtf tracer
HELL YEAH!
rip
As a Swede, I'm pretty happy
NOT A TICK WAS GIVEN
As the son of a Swede, I am too
hope the colors for USA vs SK will be better
Sweden just take it
I want to see how better colors would work in this new UI
i believe in the new UI but the colors are so damn awful here
How do they deal with countries with the same colors?
go home and have a cuppa tea
SVERIGEEEE
Hopefully they can do a few tweaks at least between days
I hope so
@fleet zephyr idfk theres white everywhere and uk/swed flags arent even close
Even if not, I can totally stand spectator in the current state
lol did they really test this and say "looks gud"
They most certainly will fix it for OWL pre season
uk home colours and sweden home colours are both primarily blue
so why isn't reinforce playing for sweden ?
theres too much white
US and SK is also red white and blue
then just let UK be red
this is why home and away colours exist
are they using the instant replay system?
yes
@forest raven can get fixed easily if UK's away color were red instead of white
Let UK be red for redcoats lul
someone call boombox hes crying
This hog is so good right now
Manneten is rocking the hog
gg
HE PEAKED
What a monkey fuck
SWEDEN
THAT'S LITERALLY RETARDED
jeejee
F
WTF
lul UK
UK got rolled
UK is getting dicked
rip in peace uk
SVERIIIIGEEEEEEE SKΓ Γ Γ Γ L
Chris throwing
oof ez
wtf happened to uk
Chris and Kruise
π
having away colours be the same for every team is better than having different away colours for each team
wtf
SWARJE
lmao
Exposed dive one tricks

#NotMyUK
I USED TO KRUISE LUL BUT NOW I LOSE LUL
I can't watch all live

Why don't they just make the health bar/outlines these colors?
https://i.imgur.com/cZEFDA7.png

anyone think US is going to lose to South Korea?
nah man us wins
@smoky hinge
They don't
https://i.imgur.com/zA9719d.jpg
Usa vs south korea when?
I'm saying the healthbars/outline needs to be those colors

XQC fighting
How many hour? Because i want to sleep
4:45pm PDT

you can't sleep on Canada
I'm from southeast asia that why i so sleepy, i just want to watch usa vs korea
imagine US vs Canada
rip Australia
Wow
it's been fun
Rip muselk
I just woke up but the viewership looks great
It will go around 180-200 during the US game probably
yeah and they also advertised it in-game
so that boosted viewership, and also because y'know, it's Blizzcon
It'll also boost because everyone's coming home from work and school
LemonKiwi in the audience π
Or waking up in Aus and NZ haha
lol
who do you think will take this win ?
Australia has Brazil color jerseys? π€
yes
australia's sports colours have been green and gold for over a century
Green and Yellow are the sports colours yeah
TIL
so canadians having white hairs is a new thing?
Well, RIP us
Full matches?
yep
Should be on youtube eventually
Yes
only on unoficcial channels i think
Isn't he on an asian esports team
The Rein cinematic is also on YouTube
just watch the vods that will be uploaded in the official playoverwatch twitch channel

The green though
Are you guys liking the new UI?
oof i dont like the colors >,<
UI a,d tools are great, color is meh.

@timber coral lol true there are casters for a reason let them fill the time and talk
Theres no view count for blizzards platform.
Im watching that one, quality is better.
What about utube
If this is because of the ad in the game, imagine the viewer count when they give skins for stream viewing

dude imagine OWL
This view count is very similar to last year.
is sweden against the winner of au - can ?_?
@stone escarp Ikr? They get paid to fill dead time, we dont need to know that Orisa is a new strand of defence robots π€
OWL is not boom 
Yeah
Wasnt this for the finals last year?
Australia nearly tied with Sweden at the qualifiers
I would say 300k for the finals
I remeber the finals hitting 250k on the main twitch stream alone,.
@timber coral πππππ
How did sweden win from the uk?
How did Sweden steamroll the uk*
^
Or an actual in game live stream
green and white looks a lot better
UK sucked big time
Wait, 4-0?
ye πΈπͺ swept them lol
damn Australia underrated
sweden is better + uk no good mercy player
they really are
I really want Canada to make it to the semi finals
I guess
wtf I love Australia now
Yeah, I feel like the UK were to proud with the "We dont need mercy"
I want to see xqc be toxic live
Yeah how isn't Canada winning
c9
i'm happy with xqc just losing
Agi 
What if I am a citizen of both Canada and Australia π€
Dont forget that Australia is a whole team
S4 isnt that great
mangachu is good
@smoky hinge support neither
that green rein shield makes me nut
I'm supporting Canada
Agilites on tracer π¦π¦
But it's kinda hard with the first match
Same! I gotta support our hat π
Mangachu not on phara π€ Can he even play anything else?
Canada did really well on the first oasis point
Agilites is on genji
then fell
Yea he can but he's ultra-moist on Pharah
