The ending was bit of awkward, there was no after-match analysis, nothing. Not even Jeff Kaplan came like last year. It sucked

In Korea professional gaming is acceptable profession, people in America don't take it seriously
balmy wolf
no

Good thing they have esports, otherwise, SK would be completly irrelevant in everything in life :^)

We should then
balmy wolf
NA is just lazy with esports
@full lion they are really strong academically too
its not a game specific thing
they just are hard working honor people

zealous venture
Ok?
balmy wolf
and ive been dissapointed by NA every time XD
young sonnet
TBF i think teams would do so much better if they didn't follow meta and at least tried something new. For example that torb play really threw them off for a while.

dota 2 isnt popular in korea either, they all play league
forest raven
it will only continue to rise as OWL takes place
balmy wolf
thats true
full lion
only because valve doesnt care about korea
civic marsh
imo dallas fuel at least will challenge the korean teams in OWL
balmy wolf
Korea almost got rekt this year in league though, well only SKT almost got rekt

i think dallas will have a good shot at winning

NA choked several times

dallas and houston have the best chance to contend with the koreans imo

they're pushing this so hard its kinda crazy
I don't think i've ever seen this from a game so young
clever wagon
It's also rare for a game to get ~300k concurrent viewers in its first year
young sonnet
True. its popularity and success is also astronomical
scarlet spear
even rarer to get that amount of investment and big players behind those investments
clever wagon
For me personally OWL getting 70-100k stable viewers is enough for inaugural season, that's already almost twice Contenders views
young sonnet
I wonder if that amount of views will make them money though? The investment that must have gone into this must be huge
clever wagon
Money is not made primarily from views

@civic marsh People were upset about that right?
civic marsh
yeah
balmy wolf
Silly.
young sonnet
Interesting
civic marsh
they were unhappy that people like dinoflask got media passes and over.gg didn't
considering dinoflask is just some youtube memer
balmy wolf
He was invited to Blizz HQ before though
And he is better PR than some random website
civic marsh
it just kinda goes against how blizz are pushing esports so hard
but then they invite a meme youtuber and not one of the best esports content producing websites
solid spear
rip contenders season 2
balmy wolf
Pro memers gets them more players
civic marsh
also people suspected blizz were cooking up their own esports website or would produce their own content for OWL
turns out they were right
wintry matrix
i mean, let's not jump to conlclusions
there could be issues with the over.gg guys
other issues we don't know
wintry matrix
could be from both ends
balmy wolf
@clever wagon Sure. But that won't get Blizzard more revenou
civic marsh
yeah in the end nate came up clutch
clever wagon
Not like they're gonna lose anything either
Why is there even a need to choose one over the other?
at least based on what you said
balmy wolf
Should have invited both ¯_(ツ)_/¯
clever wagon
Well, I'm not the one jumping to the conclusion that they prefer a memer over an esports coverage representative
balmy wolf
I am not jumping to conclusions, but I know that Dino was invited to the Blizzard HQ before
So it doesn't seems trange that he got a press pass for blizzcon too
smoky hinge
more memes = good publicity & more attention
clever wagon
By that logic they might as well invite Kephrii
scarlet spear
why tho ?

Considering how much Youtube comments love him over xQc
scarlet spear
i mean over.gg is great for us that enjoy watching it, great page with great info etc

does xQc desverve mvp??

of course they vote for their boy they've been watching stream for weeks right before

They're idiots, don't mind
I'm personally satisfied USA showed SK isn't above the meta (I'm about to watch the rest of today's matches, just finished Sweden v Canada)
We're only going upwards from this point

Its a shame USA played korea first though. I can imagine the final with both of them in

yeah SK looked really dodgy trying to run without mercy lol

i hope they do
I hated how mercy rez undid some of the skillful picks that players did

blizz made a fuckton of skins dang
more like palette changes but still a lot of work
26 heroes * (12 OWL teams + 8 WC teams)
actually *2 because home and away
total of 1040 individual skins
- 16 cuz moira was not in WC
solid spear
I mean even with the nerf I suspect the character will still be pretty good
the ult is still probably the best in the game

at the very least we wont be seeing good picks being trivially undone
like out of position heroes are very unlikely to be rez'd
we saw so much of that shit in World Cup.

Moira vs Moira battles are long af
I just noticed she doesn't require ammo on her primary

but sher has a healing pull.

so her healing slowly regens on its own, but doing damage makes it regen faster?
pine star
Yup
Just like an ulimate
This is actually the first time I watch Moira gameplay
So much esports hype to get up to date on the rest lol
hallow fable
here left click seems quite weak in terms of healput.
pine star
It's the same output as Mercy
hallow fable
single target wise?
pine star
Yup
Also, she can orb and continue healing
So she can technically heal more than Mercy
Provided her orb is off cooldown

Hanzo, Genji, Pharah, Zarya, Junkrat, all top notch (all of which are also reasons why Dallas decided to pick him up)
Jake so far doesn't
I mean having been this far into the game Jake still seems like the type that just can't into projectiles
Esp Pharah
E.g. look at AKM
Initially a meme on Pharah
Now consistently dueling Flower
cerulean tinsel
He had a good balance of Projectile DPS, Junkrat, and Hitscan, although admited his hitscan is a tad weak

I'd even say Mendo-Linkzr cover Jake and Clockwork's pools and are straight upgrades

(Dallas Fuel) September 20th - Franchise is officially announced, as part of the final three franchises of the Inaugural Season of the Overwatch League.
I just realized they did this on my birthday

hey guys
i just watched the world cup matches today and it was incredible. I haven't watched esports before and I really want to watch more competitive pro games like what I saw today
where do i go from here
cerulean tinsel
Hype for the Overwatch League liek the rest of us of course
Or watch a few tournaments
balmy wolf
yeah very hype!
are there any big tournaments that already happened that I can watch?
cerulean tinsel
I wonder if my school would even allow an Outlaws Jersey
Last years World Cup is the main one, there are tons though
mild peak
could watch past tournaments, Apex Finals are good, Atlantic Showdown, Overwatch Open, Dreamhack

I'm watching the finals rather late but I'll say it again: Roolf's offensive Zen is mad
He's out for blood

has science gone too far?
clever wagon
Honestly there's negative opinions and there's being completely wrong
Guess which one do you fall into if you think this year's World Cup playoffs matches involving South Korea is boring
u wot
wintry matrix
tbh canada put very little fight aside from a few offenses
final thistle
Hm
I think if the OWL team skins are buyable
Ill buy the Dynasty and Spitfire ones
Theyre really nice
Maybe Shanghai too
clever wagon
Dallas and Seoul for me

Canada lost 1-4

Well its nice you saw that game @small bear best match I've ever watched
small bear
3-1

france was pretty close
small bear
but it was very close
digital frigate
3-1 sounds bad
small bear
until the end
digital frigate
But it was close

the us couldve won tbqh

canada got rolled, but it wasn't as bad as last year SK stomps
clever wagon
US DPS hero pool is rather small
very small, rather
Like, their only safe picks are Soldier, Junkrat and Tracer
Nothing else
wintry matrix
true, didn't think about that
solid spear
not really
clever wagon
Genji, but do you really want him off Tracer?
wintry matrix
can he really genji?
solid spear
I mean Sina just Tracer'd but SBB just Tracer'd too
clever wagon
He's pretty decent, not sure if it's at a high enough level
wintry matrix
ye, but when you're getting outplayed you need to adapt
solid spear
Jake played more Genji in group stages Im sure they had a reason not to run in as much against Korea
clever wagon
I mean the biggest change factor is Flower rather than SBB lol
solid spear
obviously he played Pharah, Junk and 76
but its not as if they lacked the ability to run more
wintry matrix
SBB was the consistency while Flow3r did the clutch moments
clever wagon
Throw420Dafran
Well then what's that other than being their exact problem of not having more options
forest raven
sbb made sina invisible
clever wagon
Also Jake probably could pull out Genji in group stages because they're not facing any direct counter
They're pretty much free to experiment in comparison to the playoffs
Meanwhile look at the playoffs
Mangachu, Agilities, Surefour, SBB, Flower, AKM, Soon, Nico, Tviq, Snillo, Aetar, ieatuup
All equally or even more than proficient at or facing those other heroes
Iirc Jake actually has Hog in his pool, but that's back to the Carbon days and I haven't seen him using it since the rework
clever wagon
Ok, that means they didn't try to invest in that pick
solid spear
all in all it was still close af and fun to watch
clever wagon
Well yeah, I didn't say otherwise
They got the first opportunity showing SK isn't untouchable
And they did exactly that

I missed the OWL presentation
Is there any detail on the skins becoming available for public use?
spiral summit
where do i read up on overwatch leauge

https://blizzcon.com/en-us/watch?v=516b9cd-00d46e44aa7 here is the presentation
but they just said they are still working on adding the skins in the future

will this be stream or on tv?

i take it they will not be good?

i'd say wait like the first couple weeks or month of games before choosing a team LOL , and dont choose just based on winning, factor in personalities and the like
cerulean tinsel
Houston
If you based on winning youd be a pleb that likes Seoul or London (since ironically London's team is entirely korean)
Kinda feels sad, having a team for a city, but none of the members are fro mthere, let alone the country its in. Unless one of the koreans is a UK citizen, then I stand corrected, but its still really fuckin wierd.
rare cosmos
i've been following since early apex so im already on the seoul dynasty train but ifi had to choose NA ... hmm 🤔
cerulean tinsel
Houston Outlaws have a bunch of the US World Cup team this year
and they all did fantastic despite losing
smoky hinge
Seoul is basically LH
rare cosmos
hell yeah they are
cerulean tinsel
Jake is a really good DPS, and Clockwork is a fucking god in TF2. Not sure about OW though.
rare cosmos
haha
smoky hinge
I stopped watching OGN after S3 bc of no more NA teams lul
rare cosmos
clockwork did well in OWC
rare cosmos
if im choosing purely based off of coloring and names
houston is definitely up there 🤔
london too but london is like insanely stacked LOL i dunno if i can root for them without feeling like a bandwagoner
cerulean tinsel
I think rooting for London is just sad
rare cosmos
seeing the team skins is dope though
rare cosmos
ehhh i dont find that part sad lol
cerulean tinsel
It implies that UK cant get any good players so they have to import some from Korea.
rare cosmos
you're going to get good players from wherever they are regardless although i do think having no endemic members at all in it hurts it in terms of local fanbase
yeah that implication is hard to ignore if you're a native lol
but at teh same time
cerulean tinsel
Even on the outside looking in
rare cosmos
SK is just damn good at all the esports they compete inlol
rare cosmos
it's like importing those semi retired NBA players into the chinese basketball leagues
they get paid insane money and just dumpster all the other players LOL
it's not the exact same kind of analogy but it's a little relatable lol
it's only be more relatable if you'd import like a full american team into a china league LOL
which would hoenstly be hilarious
cerulean tinsel
Like, why didnt we get an AUS team? Australia is like the hidden Mt Olympus of OW gods
rare cosmos
jesus
are they THAT good? lol
or do you mean like
a team IN australia
like sydney wallabys or something lol
cerulean tinsel
They dont beat SK, but AUS has wicked good people, its like the skill rating of EVERYONE is jsut better there. I dont fucking know HOW.
clever wagon
OCE has a relatively small number of players
cerulean tinsel
Id love to see an AUS team from Sydney or somewhere. Everytime I see or play against australians they beat my ass five times over, its insanity.
forest raven
Like, why didnt we get an AUS team? Australia is like the hidden Mt Olympus of OW gods
no
best oceanic team is blank
they get smoked by flash wolves
cerulean tinsel
Did they lose their momentum then? I remember them being a lot better.
forest raven
in opc season 1 blank beat flash wolves the first time they played
then they never beat them again
they're solidly 3rd in the opc
behind flash wolves and ardeont

They got smoked by Flash Wolves and Flash Wolves got smoked by USA & UK with little to no fight
And in their group stage Aussie and Sweden were the 2 clear winners
