World Cup playoffs started at 2 AM for 1st day and 11:30 PM for 2nd day for me. I ain't complaining tbh
The world is round, nobody is gonna get a perfect timezone. They probably tried to get the best times where the most playerbase are located
And I'm not sure either India or Indonesia are included in that
vestal mortar
It's all gonna be on LAN so they want to have as many people able to attend in the arena as possible.
Sure they could do stuff in the middle of the day but everyone would be at work/school. This way they can have people decide "oh hey, I'll go watch my favourite team play in the Blizz arena once/twice a week"
I won't get to watch any of the matches I want live because I'm in EU but I completely understand why these are the times they're working with.
vestal mortar
I don't think it's stupid...
clever wagon
And yes I deserve to say so because I'm in a timezone not too far off where most matches will run when I can't watch live
I meant the complaint being stupid
clever wagon
Like
To OP
Think again how this world works
Uhh round? Different timezones?
Of course they're gonna prioritize regions with the bigger playerbase
vestal mortar
Hehe
clever wagon
(then again 'cause my classes have thinned out being a last semester kid I can actually watch Dallas at this time)
vestal mortar
Maybe I will stay up for Dallas vs Houston since it's a Friday
clever portal
But LA Gladiators vs London is at 11 pm Thursday
vestal mortar
Ehhh I will see
I am not particularly interested in either team so idk yet, it'll depend on how busy a week we're having at work.
clever portal
But it's the only EU team 
vestal mortar

vestal mortar
Yeah I am on the website myself and everything is in my timezone
clever wagon
This means
Those Korean boys are put in the same position as EnVy who had to stay in Korea almost a year
Interesting
vestal mortar
Well I doubt they'll be in hotel rooms, they'll probably have a team house
clever wagon
Then again they'd probably have better acomodation since OWL standards
You saw nothing
vestal mortar
And I think a lot of KR pros welcome going to NA to escape inven
clever wagon
But yeah lucky for them they're in LA and kept safe from hotels by OWL rules
vestal mortar
Kaiser said that when KR pros go to NA, it is almost like inven forgets about them
rapid oxide
clever wagon
Yes, but I don't think every single match must be watchable for the NA audience. Surely they can afford to miss one or two matches a week, so we can watch one or two matches a week! :(
I'm GMT+7 and I still can't relate to this bloke
I won't
vestal mortar
Yeah I don't think people paid 20mil for a slot to have their team play in an empty arena.
clever wagon
True
12 x $20mil are thrown into this league (2 of which came from the very same timezone that got shafted - China and Seoul wink wink) and he's actually asking them to reschedule.
Everything including pre-season is at the LA stage right? @vestal mortar

turbid bloom
anyone know about the esport skins they released?
turbid bloom
i mean like for the world cup they teased them
owl?
oh they will be?
where did they say that?
turbid bloom
i thought owl skins where world cup ones
drowsy loom
OWL is the Overwatch League
turbid bloom
oh
i thought those were the skins that the teams were using
liek canada was like red n white
ashen lily
there are many more OWL teams than there were teams in the WC.
turbid bloom
but they were using some OWL skins right?
ashen lily
Not to mention like 5 of them are US based, even if their members aren't all american
No
What you see on the spectator view is just color coded to their nation's flags
If an OWL team uses the colors from the country's flag, sure it'll look similar
turbid bloom
i mean arent these their skins
ashen lily
what
sour wigeon
has there been any sombra in the world cup??
ashen lily
Ryujehong played some sombra, as I recall, with pretty good results.
ashen lily
? they made the US red and white and SK white and blue because of their flags.
turbid bloom
yeah i thought that was their skin
ashen lily
none of the US OWL teams have that color scheme, and Seoul Dynasty doesn't have white+blue either
sour wigeon
thank you Igari
@ashen lily do you know like what matches he played sombra in or whatever
ashen lily
the one i remember off the top of my head is SK vs France, 3rd game of the series on Hanamura
I think he did play him in other places tho
sour wigeon
thank you!
ashen lily
np
sour wigeon
ok I just watched the end of the finals and SK won.. what a shocker lol
but im excited to see the sombra gameplay on their side when I find it
turbid bloom
oh so you're saying taht they only changed the color schemes for viewing purposes?
but the owl skins have not been used yet
turbid bloom
so its just a color scheme change they did for world cup
ashen lily
yes
turbid bloom
ah okay
balmy wolf
it just helps viewers differentiate teams, i saw a lot of complaints about people struggling to distinguish after the qualifiers
turbid bloom
ah
i noticed that none ran hitscans
they did like pharah gengi
or pharah genji tracer
ashen lily
there was plenty of soldier, mccree, and widow gameplay
especially from fl0w3r
not to mention virtually every match with Soon or saebyeolbe was bound to have a tracer vs tracer matchup
clever wagon
He asked about Canada vs SK
Canada was wearing home palette and it's as red as it gets, almost similar to Dragons
loud tree
my god sinatraa is a fucking god on tracer holy shit
clever wagon
The color palette
ashen lily
are they the same? no
that's the point of that conversation, they're not using OWL skins for WC.
being similar means nothing
ashen lily
that conversation ended like an hour ago lol why bring it up
clever wagon
Because their base palette is a similar red
Because I see something needing correction?
thonk
Whatever dude
ashen lily
lol ok? good for you man

how did the US / SK teams pick their players for the world cup match?

I think US did a bunch of scrims with players then narrowed it down

just based on where the players lived / played?

they held tryouts
some countries like australia and france didn't and just imported a full roster
blank and rogue, respectively
@loud tree

as in
rogue were are french
blank are all australian
so instead of building a completely new team roster
they just used rogue as the french team and blank as the australian team

With League at least they get it more

It's super individual as to whether you find it hard to follow. It's fine for me but I can see people who are used to slower paced games finding OW hard to follow.
solid spear
Obviously CS is just easy to understand
red anvil
i've not played leauge, and i cant watch it because i've never played mobas
instead of 25 heroes with 4 abilities, you have what 200?
with additional buffs, alternations and so on depending on upgrades
i got into OW with very mimimal effort
solid spear
I mean I can understand all these games but from my experiences with people who dont play these games OW is one of the hardest to follow
I think part of that might have been old spec which is why I wanna see how watching OW for regular people will change
red anvil
new spec will help, but its hard to watch the white silhouettes at some places

Is revenue also randomly distributed?

They said it yeah
in the initial announcement said you will be able to support your teams with purchasing there skins and sprays
also half the revenue goes to the team if i recall correctly
so i assume there will be team lootboxes or some shit
scarlet spear
1 guaranteed team item, and useless standart 2 grey 1 blue π€

i mean that is completely viable now, especially if i assume correctly and you will obtain lootboxes from watching matches
30 lootboxes ish you got everything from your team
which i find somewhat reasonable
scarlet spear
doesnt sound too bad
wouldn't mind if they'd sell them as kind of support boxes for their team aswell, as in one time purchase for certain skins/avatars/sprays something like that

and thats not... esports anyway
also i really hope no lootbox bs for the team support
left fog
Maybe they'll direct sell them + have a box you can buy to get a random team skin
modest garnet
Is it to late to start with OW now and get into the eSports leagues?
pine star
I don't mind boxes if you can buy team specific loot boxes with at least one guaranteed skin
@modest garnet it's not easy
You have to grind for months and, most importantly, get noticed

Never too late

Saebyoelbe: For World Cup preparation, I watched Logix from EU to improve my tracer performance
Flower: I practiced alot of Genji to improve my Genji performance

what about dafran?

whoops
is sinatraa still overhyped anymore now that r/cow is totally against him?
dont think anyone besides hardcore fanboys would put sin as a top top tracer nowwadays
also so much spicy drama before the start of OWL, it's an interesting time
also kvo wtf @ that avatar omg
that's ridiculous
almost as smug as mercy
blazing parrot
haha thank you 
i think sinatraa has always been overhyped
like no doubt hes really good
scarlet spear

blazing parrot
especially on zarya and tracer
but
like until he proves himself in tourneys i think he will be overhyped
on selfless his zarya was 
but i dunno i think hes got a lot to prove for himself
being good in the ladder doesnt translate into pro play
scarlet spear
same thing i've been thinking since his signing... hes doing well on ladder but hes not been in any kind of tourney for a while and hasnt proven himself against other top tier teams
OWL is going to be great, cant wait
blazing parrot
i agree
my top are seoul, london, nyc, dallas, valiant and gladiators

InternetHulk was a great guy, always so passionate and driven. He was an inspiration to so many people in the infancy of our esports scene and he's made a lasting impression. β€

Wtf I cant believe that he died.. a huge loss to the whole OW community, rest in peace big guy :(

It's just so early for a person to die. He was robbed of living his life at least once again, if not twice. All this doe is reminding me that nothing is fair. What a great guy. He will be definitely remembered! Ruhe in Frieden, Junge!

Hulk's passing is so surreal. I tuned to his stream pretty often to watch him, and saw a bit of his personality. In some ways felt like I knew him (his public image at least) so this impacted me more than just knowing his accomplishments in pro OW.
