[balmy wolf]

[normal iron]

I love that pink keyboard

I want it

[balmy wolf]

Fleta on Widow

[normal iron]

Is that the new razer pink keyboard?

[balmy wolf]

Tracer floating

[woven jewel]

[balmy wolf]

Use the sniper to pick off divers

[balmy wolf]

Fleta

They getting this first time again

Suprised how well Dragons did tbh

[gaunt acorn]

yup thought so

[balmy wolf]

I want them to win at least a few

fleta and diya

[north tendon]

maybe this was a good way for them to warm up

[balmy glade]

Fleta

[balmy wolf]

Fleta

[gaunt acorn]

fleta

[north tendon]

cant decide

[balmy wolf]

Love this soundtrack

idk i wanna wait and see

[north tendon]

but diya impressed me more

so far

[gaunt acorn]

that's the blizzworld theme

surely

[balmy wolf]

Overwatch Gameplay Trailer music

[gaunt acorn]

o right

[balmy wolf]

the music is from this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYC44YPb_5k

[gaunt acorn]

yea

[balmy wolf]

damn

that was a long time ago

[normal iron]

I wanna see how Dragons do against other teams, they're basically unfamiliar with their team mates up against the season favourite

[balmy glade]

I hope shanghai wins this one for the excitement

[balmy wolf]

i want them 2 win at least a few

[balmy glade]

la vs sf was really exciting

[balmy wolf]

There was a bit of competition at least

[north tendon]

true marii

I would say they have potential to be top 3

if they work hard on it

[wary falcon]

No OWL on twitch?

[slim summit]

no preseason on twitch

xqc said they would be on twitch for main season

[balmy wolf]

Streamed on PlayOverwatch?

[slim summit]

shanghai is really putting up a good fight

they might have lost so far but

[wary falcon]

youtube and playoverwatch

[normal iron]

xqc zzzz

[slim summit]

i'm still happy for them

[north tendon]

yep

[balmy wolf]

xQc is insane and I love it

EYE JUICE

[wary falcon]

i was worried about twitch, expected same fate as CoD and mlg

[slim summit]

the one time i was watching xqc's stream he was denegrating his gf on stream

[north tendon]

tomorrow is the same time right?

[balmy wolf]

what happened with cod and mlg?

[north tendon]

for dallas and the others

[slim summit]

so i am anti-xqc

cus that's some pathetic shit

but

i don't resent people who are fans of his

i will root against fuel in OWL though

[north tendon]

his gf roasted him once though

[normal iron]

once

lol

[north tendon]

she was talking about a cat

he was like "why do we have a cat"

"why do we have you"

[slim summit]

roflmao

[wary falcon]

CoD scene moved from twitch to mlg

and died

biblethump

[slim summit]

i'm very suspicious of activision

[gaunt acorn]

here we go boys

[north tendon]

but now you can call overwatch players mlg

cause its on mlg

[slim summit]

how long until CoD shows up on battle.net?

[gaunt acorn]

main season will be on twitch

relax

[slim summit]

i wonder what the blizzard office dynamics are with regards to overwatch as an esport and the overwatch league

[north tendon]

tbh the chat there has been a lot better than twitch

[spiral drift]

i just want twitch chat right now lol

[north tendon]

less spam and people being dumb

[slim summit]

i feel like people might be wrongfully accusing blizzard of making poor esports decisions when they might be in an arm bar

[wary falcon]

twitch chat is life essence for esports

[gaunt acorn]

STOMP

[balmy wolf]

this'll be fast

[rocky anchor]

heh

[balmy wolf]

unless

[north tendon]

lol

[balmy wolf]

diya

[woven jewel]

THat was real bad

oh my god

[balmy wolf]

kapaross

[rocky anchor]

doesn't recognize any of the blizzard handles...

[north tendon]

lmao lucio didnt get heals

ana just isnt what she used to be

its not entirely mercy's fault

mobility matters a lot nowadays

[balmy wolf]

why didn't whoru join seoul?

[spiral drift]

too young

[balmy wolf]

oh yeah

he joining when he's 18?

[tired river]

what a shitty rule honestly

[spiral drift]

idk

[tired river]

they've been allowed to play in other blizzard tourneys

like WC

[wary falcon]

age restrictions are common in esports

[spiral drift]

i wish i could hear more of the crowd. i feel like it would help this feel more hype

[wary falcon]

and if i'm not mistaken whoru will play in season?

[balmy wolf]

he's 16

so two years

[old bough]

can you change blizz site language, my natve is a little bit haHA with map names

[tired river]

wouldn't think so

why not just play in english?

[rocky anchor]

wut? lol

[woven jewel]

wait

[old bough]

i want it to be eng

[woven jewel]

what was that bottle

It looked like a regular water bottle with a flip cap

[tired river]

ah

[woven jewel]

I'm shook

[tired river]

bottom of the page

theres a language thing

[old bough]

thanks bro

[rocky anchor]

ouch

wow

impressive

wow

so close

and Seoul wins it

[plucky rune]

as a pharah main

that mid-air baby dva kill was just

yum

[worn falcon]

omg

[rocky anchor]

lol

[worn falcon]

indeed

[old bough]

unexpected score

[rocky anchor]

I really don't feel bad for the dragons

like

[normal iron]

They played incredibly well tho

[rocky anchor]

they're not doing terribly

[full gorge]

as an ana main, "FAREEAH, IT IS PAST YOUR BEDTIME!"

[plucky rune]

seoul was definetely the underdog here

[rocky anchor]

yeah

[worn falcon]

Man, i could be addicted to OW league, seriously

[balmy wolf]

3 YEARS

[rocky anchor]

same

it's the first esport I'm legitimately watching

[old bough]

as a s7 exclusive mercy main that was some gr8 mercy gameplay right there

[slim summit]

i've watched starcraft esports to many years

and it's better in a lot of ways

but

i feel that the high-skill moments of awesome

like sick headshots and sick ults

[plucky rune]

starcraft is an rts and this is an fps

[rocky anchor]

OW is hard to follow if you're not into OW.

[slim summit]

just don't come around as often in starcraft

[north tendon]

if they actually made us spectate her for any decent amount of time

[rocky anchor]

but being that we all know what the calls are, and the flashing red triangle mean

[slim summit]

it's just so easy to follow the action in a starcraft game when compared to an overwatch game

[rocky anchor]

When D.Va yells "Nerf This", we know what that means lol.

[slim summit]

only rarely in starcraft will you be like "oh shit that guy just wiped out a dozen workers and i missed it"

but sometimes in overwatch fight-deciding ults are missed

[worn falcon]

This is my first time watching a e-sport, asides from the world cup. I hardly can get interested on LOL, DOTA, CSGO and any others games

[rocky anchor]

there's a MASSIVE team of observers in the arena watching this stuff

So the backstage they're watching like every player

It's one hell of a production to put together

[rancid junco]

It's the first person perspective that's the biggest problem

[rocky anchor]

^

[woven jewel]

@worn falcon Same. I used to casually watch TF2 if I was bored and there was nothing else going on. This has been fun to watch though

[slim summit]

i agree

[rancid junco]

Starcraft has a bird's eye view and minimap, Overwatch is usually being shown from the eyes of one player at a time

[rocky anchor]

FPS view on OW is very difficult to spectate. I wish they would use less of it in the production.

[slim summit]

i see little value in first person outside of the context of ults like dragonblade and instant replays

[rancid junco]

I know that Overwatch Spec has a minimap, They're not using it tho

[rocky anchor]

NottaWotta: The latest observer views for OW provide a lot of 3rd person cam + overhead views now. Added for the OWWC

they have used it tonight

[slim summit]

on the other hand, when this seoul pharah was being spectated on dorado attack

and got that double kill

with two consecutive rockets

you can't get that if you don't occasionally spectate the DPS players in first person

the moment is just not half as awesome if you see it in a replay

[woven jewel]

I think it's a balance they are still trying to walk the line of

[rancid junco]

We want a balance, that's what we're saying

[woven jewel]

Yeah

I think as they keep doing broadcasts, they'll figure it out

[normal iron]

Zzzz

[slim summit]

agreed @Pyro

[woven jewel]

like everything else, broadcast production has a decent learning curve

[old bough]

spectating improved so much and is going in the right direction, i personaly never had problems with understanding whats going on thats not on cam but the more viewers the faster ow esports will grow and im all bout that

[slim summit]

i wouldn't say it's not understandable per se

but i would say that i wish i could see these things that onlyy show up in the killcam

but i agree that it's improved tremendously since even contenders

[tired river]

its actually pretty damn hard to tell the difference between damage and healing orb

[slim summit]

damage & healing orb, especially for moira, is a bit hard

they gave lucio a huge icon over his head for that reason

[woven jewel]

Yeah. that's been my only complaint. Zen and Lucios two very different purposes are both the same color

oh and moira

I forgot about her

[slim summit]

but you can deduce from which team the orb is on whether it's damage or healing

not as much with moira

[woven jewel]

the only other minor complaint I have is that their freecam operator is two twitchy

but that's super minor

[slim summit]

the #1 improvement i would like to see is having player nameplates over the monitors or something

because not only are the tiny nametags too small & wringled/covered for me to see the names

but some of the jerseys (shock) have white text on yellow

which is even less readable

[old bough]

left shoulder

[balmy wolf]

i'm tired

dhaphdwoa

[slim summit]

same

[balmy wolf]

seoul fighting

yay

SEOUL FIGHTING SEOUL FIGHTING SEOUL FIGHTING SEOUL FIGHTING SEOUL FIGHTING

[slim summit]

only been 6.5 hours of watching overwatch

that's a bit much ...

i wonder how the season matches are going to work

[balmy wolf]

same thing tomorrow

haHAA

[slim summit]

just one best of five matchup?

2 total teams?

[woven jewel]

I think for season, they are assuming htat people will just tune in when they can

I love this top down view

[slim summit]

i really hope they don't play too many matches

i think i would probably only watch like 1 match per week in the normal season

but otherwise i just can't commit the time

[woven jewel]

I thikn they are still planning for 3 in a broadcast, but really it should be 2 per broadcast

[slim summit]

yikes

[balmy wolf]

i'll just watch all of seouls matches

maybe the dragons

i want to see how they progress

[woven jewel]

They have the schedule out for the first whatever its called

[worn falcon]

im impressed by the dragons

[balmy wolf]

SEOUL FIGHTING

[gritty sparrow]

Munchkin went off as tracer on attack

[woven jewel]

Yeah, they've definitely played better than the score indicates

[old bough]

im prolly gonna watch every seoul.ny,dallas and spitfire game

[balmy wolf]

seoul, dragons, ny, and london.

are my priorities

[old bough]

and tune up to the NA teams whenever i dont have anything to do

[gritty sparrow]

houston will be a good watch

[woven jewel]

I'm really interested in Houston. Other teams are just extra to me

[gritty sparrow]

I'll watch NY, seoul, houston, and dallas

[balmy wolf]

i...

i just want this game to end..

SEOUL FIGHTING SEOUL FIGHTING SEOUL FIGHTING

[gaunt acorn]

wow

[worn falcon]

omg

[old bough]

sound?

[slim summit]

so is shanghai better than we all expected

or is seoul worse than we all expected

are we able to tell?

[balmy wolf]

can't tell

[gritty sparrow]

can't tell

[balmy wolf]

i think it's shanghai being good

[gritty sparrow]

they're both jetlagged af

[balmy wolf]

all we have to do to figure that out is watch seoul vs fuel

so envyus vs lunatic hai and we'll see

[woven jewel]

do we know when the next round of preseason matches will be announced?

[slim summit]

lol the punches

[gaunt acorn]

[balmy glade]

Was pretty fun

[rancid junco]

I will definetely be watching valiant

[gritty sparrow]

so pumped for this league

[balmy wolf]

valiant is just immortals

[woven jewel]

Valiant has some of the best colors in the league

[balmy wolf]

[rancid junco]

That's why I want to watch them

[vague eagle]

[balmy wolf]

[vague eagle]

lmao

[balmy wolf]

[balmy wolf]

[gritty sparrow]

[worn falcon]

alright back to twitch and laugh with Calvin

[gritty sparrow]

caffeine doesn't absorb across nasal capillaries

[woven jewel]

not with that attitude it doesn't

[tired river]

so i've been snorting caffeine all this time for no reason?

[gritty sparrow]

yup

[tired river]

damn

[old bough]

niuxec

[carmine pumice]

Catching up on the OWL game... Can anyone tell me WHY it's a best out of 4 and why if one team wins the first three, they play the forth?

[red anvil]

because they are going by the standard leauge format, this is not a bracket format

[carmine pumice]

So points matter more then total wins?

[red anvil]

when the leauge officially starts yes

this is just showmatches

and they determine a winner just to decide who faces who on friday and saturday

[carmine pumice]

I get why is 4 maps, so you can tie. But in the season they'll still play all 4 regardless if one won three because points are what's important, not the 'wins', I got that right?

[red anvil]

yup

[carmine pumice]

Thx

[hexed vale]

Are there no YouTube vids of the games yesterday?

[balmy wolf]

what is the teams

[balmy wolf]

You can watch yesterdays games on Overwatch league's website

[tepid estuary]

i love how goofy the casters and hosts are

they love overwatch as much as us

[vestal mortar]

I'm still watching the vods but wow I'm so impressed with the production.

[scarlet spear]

eh it was alright imo, still could use some improvements, especially some of the camerawork

[keen warren]

Need to touch up that 1st Person Observing a bit more

But for a preseason it looks good

[tepid estuary]

@scarlet spear well we have to remember, this is preseason. Everyone is rusty, people are learning the new setup of blizzard arena, and getting back into the rhythm of doing LAN events. I'm really excited for how the season looks later, when everyone gets into the swing of things

[scarlet spear]

yeah obviously, i sure do hope it does

gotta enjoy watching some vods because the times are horrible for EU

[tepid estuary]

i loved how good the stream quality was on mlg.tv though

it'd be nice if they could get twitch chat and mlg quality lol

[scarlet spear]

yeah i hope they get increased bandwith on twitch for the regular season

[tepid estuary]

that would be perfect

[tight vault]

mlg.tv?

[heavy moss]

Can someone explain to me why the New York Excelsior roster are not New Yorkers and rather South Korea natives, all coming from Seoul?? I thought OWL should have players from different cities competing against each other; to me, it’s like watching Koreans going against each other smh. Why couldn’t Blizzard have NEW YORKERS play on the NEW YORK team (same goes to London Spitfire)?

[keen warren]

US Pro Sports ideology. People are more likely to support the team rather than the individual players and as such people have a more inherent connection with their home city.

if you haven't heard of OWL or pro OW and you see a team called London Spitfires vs the Florida Mayhem, as a Brit or a Londoner you'd support the spits

same applies for New york Excelsior

Pro sports have the same thing. Most of Real Madrid aren't from Madrid, Half of Old good Arsenal were French.

[tight vault]

ohio....

[keen warren]

Most of MLB stars are from Puerto Rico etc...

[wintry matrix]

it also depends on who is the GM of the team, what is their team-building philosophy and their connections

[keen warren]

@tight vault Cavaliers are doing well atleast

[wintry matrix]

Cloud9 (London), planned to have a EU team, but apparently a deal fell-off

[tight vault]

i don't know who to root for

[keen warren]

And having Franchises requiring players to come from there home city/state/country kinda limits good players

British E-Sports scene is shite in almost all games yet most of the Team Owners and Teams are British

In Esports in general not just in OW btw

[tight vault]

british twats

[keen warren]

Speaking of british twats, London Spitfires vs LA Gladiators in 5 hours

SK vs United Nations

[jagged crater]

(skull)

[tight vault]

beemoo to start a OWL team

[jagged crater]

[tight vault]

the irish bee's

[tepid estuary]

An irish team would be cool

[slim summit]

Four hours now :]

I'm going to have to somehow watch both Dallas vs Houston and watch the game awards at the same time

[tight vault]

oh

[keen warren]

Double Screens

[tight vault]

their happening at the same time ?

[keen warren]

Game awards on one, OptiC vs Dallas on the other and Discord on your mobile

[slim summit]

Dallas v Houston @ 5:00 in my timezone, TGA at 5:30 in my timezone

[tight vault]

dangit

[slim summit]

Oh, wait ... it says 5:30 pm PT

which would be 6:30 pm in my timezone

[tight vault]

oh yay

😉

[slim summit]

So you'll probably only miss Boston

no big deal!

[tight vault]

who cares about boston

[slim summit]

I don't exactly have high hopes for them

but I've been a fan of HuK's for like a decade now

and he's the coach guy

that, coupled with them being a heavy underdog, makes me want them to do well :]

[tight vault]

i havn't really seen any esports until recently

[slim summit]

He used to be just a Starcraft 2 Protoss player that would 4 gate every time like every other dirty Protoss noob

but he won some tournaments 😛

[tight vault]

who's ready for some koreans to win all esports

[keen warren]

✋

I was waiting for them to roll CSGO yet for some reason don't wish to touch it

[tight vault]

well i mean it's CSGO 😛

[keen warren]

[tight vault]

Overwatch>CSGO

[keen warren]

Ehh, I'm an enjoy all Esports kinda guy. Especially cuz I still gotta hide this habit of watching Esports from other people

[tight vault]

i've only ever watched Overwatch Esports

[keen warren]

not missing out much (unless you count thte guy playing SC2 with his foot)

[tight vault]

WITH HIS FOOT

[keen warren]

Yuup

[scarlet spear]

banned for BMing

[tight vault]

banned for not playing overwatch

[vestal mortar]

Somebody said earlier that an Irish team would be cool
mfw ->

[keen warren]

Now we just need a team from France, Scotland Wales and Italy and we can recreate the Six Nations cup in OW

[tight vault]

north korean team

[vestal mortar]

🤔

[tight vault]

north korean team is gonna "bomb"

[balmy wolf]

do you think the london spitfires are gonna lose?

[vestal mortar]

Are you just talking about the next match, yeah?

[balmy wolf]

yup

[vestal mortar]

Hmm

I think they'll win

[balmy wolf]

i hope so

im english myself

[keen warren]

London Spits got the stronger roster among the OWL teams so they're the favourites entering vs the LA glads

[vestal mortar]

Yeah Spitfires is the closest team geographically to me but I just amn't too interested in supporting them.

[keen warren]

Can't seem to tell which team you support

Is it Seoul by anychance?

[vestal mortar]

😉

[keen warren]

😄

Seoul Dynasty also gonna wreck shop

[vestal mortar]

Indeed! 😄

[agile violet]

the only team that will give Dynasty a run for their money is Spitfire, feelsbad.

[vestal mortar]

I think Dallas and NY have a chance too 👀

[agile violet]

I just have a weird gut feeling that it'll be Dynasty vs Spitfire Season 1 finale

[keen warren]

And the winner?

Korea

[balmy wolf]

my favourite part of OWL so far

"stop taking a selfie there is overwatch to play!"

[carmine pumice]

In the OWL and in the World cup, the colors changed to be different depending on team, green etc. But for the players themselves so they do that color palette or standard red and blue?

[keen warren]

Colour palette of the teams, so LA valiant vs SF Shock was Green and Orange

Home and Away Palette*

So Main colour palette of the Home Team and White normally for the Away Team

[vestal mortar]

The players see standard red and blue

afaik the new colours are only for the spectator

[carmine pumice]

And the skins too I believe. If you look at their screens they don't have them equipped.

[vestal mortar]

Yeah I suppose to avoid the whole "x team's colour is easier to see, giving Y an advantage"

[feral solar]

2 hrs early thing really messes my schedule up but i am still going to watch

[scarlet spear]

wait

games earlier today?

holy fuck i might be able to watch them all then

[balmy wolf]

Yeah

[scarlet spear]

here i was thinking NYXL would be at 6 in the morning again

[balmy wolf]

They're during my class times

I guess I'm going to fail my exam in 2 weeks

So did mlg post the whole matches?

Lol

[keen warren]

Overwatchleague.com has the VODS

[balmy wolf]

Seoul dynasty is the best team right

[feral solar]

[balmy wolf]

I hope i can be the old guy they show off at half tine for following the sport for 40 years

[keen warren]

[keen warren]

Oh yeah the fucking one arm in darker blue looks cool as fuck

[tepid estuary]

[woven jewel]

it makes no sense but i love it

[tight vault]

[keen warren]

Fashion is moving to pastel and neons again so London did good

[scarlet spear]

[feral solar]

[tepid estuary]

i hope its a good match

[scarlet spear]

[woven jewel]

@keen warren right. and the colors individually are awful but they are gorgeous together

[vestal mortar]

Blue and orange are complimentary colours, they are a classic combo >_>

[tepid estuary]

^^

[keen warren]

Oh yeah, pain in the ass to combo it with others besides those two

[balmy wolf]

Blue/orange Ford GT will be sueing

[woven jewel]

lol

[deft valley]

how are they individually awful you what

[tepid estuary]

i'm excited to see profit

[woven jewel]

Gulf GT is greater than Gulf Porsche

[tepid estuary]

wooo

[woven jewel]

fite me

[keen warren]

What? Gulf Porsche man

[deft valley]

also if only we had precedent of sports teams using blue and orange which would suggest it’s a good idea

[balmy wolf]

I for got Mr.X has won my heart

[keen warren]

Uber is bae

Since CS GO

[tepid estuary]

Shields Up vs Aces High? That's super cool!

[vestal mortar]

I have a jumper the same orange as London, I should put it on in support. \o/

[slim summit]

Fuck yeah OWL!

[broken lance]

london colors are so good

[balmy wolf]

Uber cant handle the x beard sharow

[keen warren]

@vestal mortar I got a gulf Oil shirt I'mma go wear it now

[tepid estuary]

[woven jewel]

[north tendon]

[vestal mortar]

[scarlet spear]

[woven jewel]

I'm guessing they jsut use a bunch of aligned projectors for it?

[tepid estuary]

i'm probably gonna go to the regular season openers

[keen warren]

Pirate ship Meta?

[balmy wolf]

I like the world cup stage more but this stage is awesome emersion

[tepid estuary]

i liked the numbers of the world cup arena lol

[woven jewel]

The WC stage was a little underwhelming to me

[vestal mortar]

I will totally go to a few matches if I go to LA sometime!

[broken lance]

i need that orisa spitfire skin lmao

[slim summit]

GO GO GO

[tepid estuary]

theyll probably get super high attendance once the finals roll around

[balmy wolf]

Purple shields yes

[woven jewel]

Well you'll get one OWL skin for free

[north tendon]

LOL

[slim summit]

[balmy wolf]

Maaaan idk if i like spitfire but these blue is awesome

[agile violet]

Very nice Bastion gameplay right there.

[keen warren]

God damn

[north tendon]

[tepid estuary]

why did they say "round won" lol

[slim summit]

"SMALL MISCALCULATION" HAHAA

[balmy wolf]

London is a lady cause they got no D

[agile violet]

I wasn't expecting Spitfire to get rolled like this

[slim summit]

yeah the "round won" shit is weird

[keen warren]

Not even a good stall

[slim summit]

it says you win the round on the first stage regardless i think

[tepid estuary]

huh

[woven jewel]

Was that a hand warmer lol

[slim summit]

as yesterday teams that only pushed the payload to point b

got a "round won"

[tepid estuary]

they use hand warmers to keep their hands dry

[north tendon]

stream cutting for anyone?

[keen warren]

Studios get cold too as well

[slim summit]

stream stuttered once for me

but that's it

[north tendon]

ah

[woven jewel]

I would think a hand warmer would make their hands sweaty

[balmy wolf]

Stream cut a lot for me when set to auto

[keen warren]

Spits running single shield Pirateship

[agile violet]

it actually reduces moisture and warms up your extremeties

[balmy wolf]

LA trolls

[smoky widget]

Spit looks uncoordinated

[north tendon]

[keen warren]
