I'm lagging at the worst times
i'm not experiencing any lag 😄
UGH It's ffrozen
Is the owl being streamed on twitch
I read they only just singed a contract with them recently
I don't think that was supposed to happen haha
Also MLG has exclusive rights for pre season til twitch hashes out their contract with blizz
Normal Season to be streamed on twitch
I hope LA wins
LA should really step up their game if they want to beat LA
All they do is spam BoneFace
NOO GLADIATORS...
God Damn, GG Valiant
Wow
Fucking hell
oof
Didn't expect that
That was beautiful trapping Genji there
Full held 
la 2 - 0 la
LA favourites to win against LA
I wish I had put on a bet...
It's good odds on LA to win
(Gladiators in this case)
Valiant is holding surprisingly well
LAs got this
Oh damn
I wish you could hear the mics
The sprays
lol
ugh
GG glads it's done
come on..
Biggoose switched so that his win percentage stays the same
lol
Ok what did I miss
smart guy
La Valiant is holding up surprisingly well against the Glads
what do they use between those hand things?
Ahhh
Valiant has good team so I was expecting that
Yeah but Glads smashed the spits on the 1st day I'm just surprised that they can't seem to be holding against Valiant
london spitfire
^^
Hmm
they won 3-2 against em
Surefour is absent on the server today
Didn't spitfire not have that much time for scrims
not really
quite the opposite
they are already teams
so they should have had the most practice
For some reason when they lost to LA Gladiators it was due to the Payload
they should have the most practice ree
The Presence of the Payload
lol
Heh
LA Glads: Surefour either do DPS or switch or we throw
God damn
too heavily dependant on a single player to perform
then again he is the most consistent pro
what's going on
Still, Gladaiators not getting those picks
he's not being as consistent as he should
This is ... surprising
hmm
Gladiators getting smashed
mhm
Silkthread and Soon with those kills
you know what would be incredible now?
a reverse sweep
like the one between canada v australia
It would be amazing but I'm just figuring out why Glads aren't getting enough damage out
if Valiant gets 0-0 on the next two matches it wuld be funny
ban and protect?
Soe dropping shade
Every team chooses to ban a single hero
Ahh Ban and pick
Nah there's too little heroes for it. Maps I guess I'd agree for a ban and pick
2 heroes to ban, how is that too much?
Then mercy gets permabanned at all times
Mercy and junkrat
Watch them ban genji tracer xD
There is still ana and other heroes
Mercy Junk or Mercy Winston/DVA
Tracer and genji is pretty smart too
Anyways Papa Jeff said no dice on hero Bans
I think the current roster of heroes is enough for banning 2 heroes
They’d ban bastion On junkertown
how would you decide who gets banned
there is no way that they would ban mercy
Bastion Orisa on Junkertown
awful idea
She's too good
Gives more room for other ideas and strats
Each team bans one or two hero, coin flip who gets first ban
Ban 1 hero
Didn't Jeff already say no to banning
Each team
Yeah he said no
@balmy wolf that’s why they’d ban her
if you're doing well as a character, then you should stick to it and shine more
This is pro play not comp @waxen blaze
Papa Jeff not a fan of banning outright play styles
imagine going pro just to play a res bot
what a joke
this is the top level of play, they play what they are most comfortable with
That is exactly the opposite
Nope
Pro play gotta play all heroes
pro is the top level of play
They play what the meta/map calls for
not really
The team gotta be able to play all heroes
That’s why they should have broad hero pools
obviously not since mercy is 100% pickrate in pre season
Yes
Maybe if they released new maps so they couldn't do those strats they practice non stop
nope
It would be more organic
Dive meta has been the same 6 heroes
I'd be more interested in a Map Ban rather than a hero ban
Hitscan players forced to play dva
Dive meta isn’t meta rn
It is still meta
Yeah new maps, none of the strats they use would be so good.
Dive is still meta
if you think so then i dunno what to say 🤔
They kind of create the meta
It’s the standard lvl of play in pro scene
saw more orisa hog
Plus with every Blizz patch meta constantly shifts
🤔
But some maps have some cheesey cancer strats
Hero bans would just stale the meta since Teams would just ban whatever hero fucks with their meta
Go look at a meta report
But attack always dives
well mercy has been meta since forever now and the patches didnt fix that
Its still dive
^
mercy is the only 100% picked hero
You cant just say "I saw this so it's a fact" lmao
Junkrat is just fucking things up and still forcing dive too
But it’s not traditional dive meta
yep
Then heroes would try to find comps to counter the junkrat meta
Also if you ban you'd basically be targeting 1 player who is OP at that hero
it's not the same 6
Traditional dive is 3 dps
Or else pro heroes wouldn't put in work and be like "meh fuck it ban Junkrat"
Not really 100, more like 93
no imagination
I don’t think anyone has one a map with no mercy yet
he does have counters to him
Rez sucks
🤔
Too good
Then the pro who invents a better meta would own the pro scene
I think they did a traditional dive yesterday
Yeah I saw the Jakerat play
Literally even with dive it’s so hard to get him
And only dive can do anything
I also saw the Mei Defense by the spits, Meta shifts once the pros will put more work on it
I'm sure every team tries every combo
I just find junkrat retarded and not fit for pro play
Meta constantly shifts to counter the hero of th emonth
doesnt matter if you get him because the mercy is there to res him every time he dies which is already rare enough
Except nothing counters mercy rez
true
Dive has been meta for 3 seasons
the ability to rez
Killing a mercy
the uninstall button counters it
Anyways, remember my words. Pros think junkrat is stupid.
is too op in itself
Valk needs hardcore nerf
👀
in a fps game
Killing a mercy counters it
I love esports
Anyways ladies and gents shall we move back to the game?
Junkrat is fun to play not play against
yeah move this to ow discussion
^^
Grim is actually Lucio IRL?
I think if they slowed down valk it would be nice
I’m sad gla is losing
Wew Verbo
Haha xD
😉 Verbo
Verbo sux
They are who I’m cheering for
Just enough for people to shoot her down reliably
Or make her wings her hit box
Lol I played a game with verbo a few weeks ago
Let's see if Glads can make the comeback
A flying roadhog
Really cool lucio
😳
go gladiators
So who owns gladiators?
Why r we cheering for la when we know korea won
Should I get a beer or wait til the later games?
Is it a sports owner or an esports team
Wait til after the Glads vs Valiant
there is no such thing as "we"
should be enough of a break for a beer
@balmy wolf Owned by Kroenke Brothers
It's a Pro Sports with an Esports division
korea won?
Esports looks relatively new so it isn't one of the traditional Esport franchises
Whoever wins in OWL we all know Blizzard wins
nvm
👏 LA 👏
That killfeed just filled with white
We all know Seoul won
I stand corrected
HA
OOH RIP Surefour
WOOO!
silkthread
envy bomb :<
Envy just outplayed the whole team
I look forward to Agilities playing again
gladiators healthbar color looks like they got ana grenade'd
He is so nice
I think bischu isn’t that good with the new dva
nooo
Like other dvas
Where is Agilities?
NOOO

My son wants to see him
GLADIATORS
Agilities is too young to play right now
Ahhh
LEZZ GOOOOO
Glad fucking holding on by a thread
just one more map now
OWL is 18+
woh
Yeah that was a fun round
Envy singlehandedly kept them in that one
Flow3r can't play either
Yeah
LOL
Use the OWL version
wtf s4
He'll be 18 during the season
You can seek it to live there
Can he play halfway through or only season 2
Dude, envy is legit insane
envy was horrible in contenders lol
This game he is insane
he lost the mech too quick each game
yeah his supports are carrying the game
helping peel and not dying easily
All these sprays, Sprays in OW is the new Inspect in CSGO
They are focusing envy
lez goo gladiators
Glads got the ult economy, they can hold it to 90 from the looks of it
i hope ;-;
Unless the get baited
85
damn 5% off
jjjjjjeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz
It's gonna be close
S4 is just getting outplayed
nope
Welp, tic for tac
LEZ GOOO
He had the mercy so meh
too equal
Silkthread is just better than s4
Wew
2 MORE
Maybe hitscan s4 is better
Well
Gladiators getting warmed up
If Valiant win this it's over tho
Glads just needed to warm up
Silk is really godly
reverse sweep?
No away Gladiators gonna let this go, they'll move this to Map 5
To me, silkthread and envy are the best players in this series
his widow alone is enough to kill everything
Shaz and asher on LAG
Is anyone wondering why Mr X keeps changing his height?
Did Mr x get a box to stand on
Like anyone?
Mr X's Applebox keep chaning heights
Last time he was touching the ceiling
Now he's the same height as Uber
He is sensitive about his height
lmao
Uber's Aussie, dude's taller than china
YES NUMLOCKED
Yay UK guy!
throw like you threw in nrg 😄
Yeahh one UK pro
then again unkoe is back ;-;
👏 Numlocked 👏
Numlocked, UKappa Pride
numlocked was the reason nrg didn't win a single match
back in the day he got a lot of hate
Probably orisa?
Who plays junkrat for LAG?
This my fave map
This is who is the better junkrat map
Hulk 🕯
Is linfoe running Moira?
😭
Yes
More mobile then zen
And does more healing than lucio
Sexy Reinhardt skin from the glads though
She is perfect for this
Thats why junkrat sucks
Does anyone know how he could have stayed alive?
no
The maps make predicting junkrat’s balls so hard because of the geometry of the maps
should have switched instead
Gladiators need to deal with Silk
that was a nice stagger though
haven't seen a lot of those
teams usually just snowball
gladiators is good at holding
they just need to be more consistent when attacking
Cant be consistent against a junkrat
I just wanna watch dallas
They are the most enjoyable to watch
With seoul too
New strats and shit
It's gonna be a good night
why did seoul and houston only play 3 last night
it was draws
ah
They're not counted
Dva’s dps is legit insane
surefour throw reeee
Remix late on the bubble
He is always inconsistent
not really
extremely consistent in the world cup even against korea
was the only one getting kills
was consistent when he was in c9
and could have easily won apex with that god team
though they unfortunately got off point
wtf
lol
Silk literally holding om by a thread
too weird
Not really, there is no other target but the winston
Valiant could win this
Silk getting ults every 45 seconds
LOL silk already more ult charge
Silk better than s4 even on solider
damn
that blink melee though
well in this match
Do they have time for one more fight?
insane
Rip
they tried
GG gladiators
Silk
WOOO YAY LA!!!
Silk was MVP on that one
Silk was a god on that
Silk carry
3 visors in less than 2 mins
yeah he was farming those tanks
Silk thread and agilites the dps duo would be insane
Wanna see Silk's stats there
Me too
Soon was also really good
Dallas annnnd
Dallas
s4 was not good today smh
Dallas and another team
Dallas got a completely perfect roster
😬
Misfits vs EnVyUs?
Yes
misfits was very good in contenders
The NYE and Seoullllll
dunno what happened to them in owl
NYE vs Seoul is gonna be an allstar match
seoul is lunatic hai
Not sure why they are playing like this
they haven't been able to perform ever since mercy got buffed
Soe with the lowkey flirt
I know, but yesterday’s performance was kinda meh
I didn't think she.... liked men
Pine was carrying
straight up a better widow than any other
Like they are copy of each others
Lol i would honestly believe it
seen a lot of widow gameplay in owl
Envy’s outplay was insane
The dva bomb
against houston?
Literally won them that point
oh nvm
like envy
not envyus smh
wait a sec...
i didn't watch seoul v houston
was there a draw?
Literally impossible on last point lunar colony
Jakerat
Yep!
It’s legit an insane spot
Dude Funballed combo a Pharah in the air
How can you kill that
dunno when they'll upload the vods for yesterday
Isn't it already up?
No mercy no win
The Spits vs Shock is up
but not the Outlaw vs Dynasty
Yeha prolly Every match that concludes they add one more vlog
I meant VOD but the edit stays
they were much quicker on the first day
🤔
but that vod was uploaded two hours ago
damn it you made me say vlog as well
@waxen blaze I just noticed I typed out Vlog
smh poxy
You see where my mind is currently at due to Youtube xD
are the vlogs uploaded yet?
so the vlogs are up?
brb smashing my skull
@waxen blaze did you watch yesterdays vlog?
And thus a new meme has been born
Dallas is gonna hard stomp them
Misfits is done for
they were so good during contenders
there seem to be some communication issues or some other thing going on in the background
I also worry that Mayhem have quite predictable playstyles/comps with their 6 man roster.
yeah i think players just learned how to play around them
It's more of the fatigue compared to the bigger teams
They get to sub out players to prevent them from being fatigued whilst the mayhem have the play all 5 games
used to be gods of older comps but then suddenly got outplayed
Yeah fatigue will really come in when the season starts
but where was the fatigue during contenders?
where there were longer back to back matches
I still say the substituition rules have to be fixed, getting subbed in and out per game is unfair for small roster teams
like limit it to 3 per game
much like football
Cringe
well ow isn't like football
Yeah good point, was just trying to find an analogy
here if someone who specializes in a certain skill set gets countered, he has to be replaced quick
What are they giving them?
Handwarmers
Makes sense
esports is kinda mentally draining
I wish I had some of those hand warmers
then again I guess Player Focus and mental fortitude would be a Pro Skill to have too
why do you need hand warmers though
Cold Studio
just wear gloves 🤔
I would be so nervous about this
Gloves are more constrictive
Like especially in front of loads of people
Gloves when using a keyboard 🤔
I wanna get me some handwarmmares
anyone got a timestamp of the vlog where they have hand warmers?
hmm 🤔 point duly noted
Dallas Fighting 
It's also easier to have handwarmers than gloves and sometimes gloves don't warm you up enough too
👏 Let's go Dallas! 👏
Leggo Jack in the Box Fuel 😄
This is gonna be weird
Stream still showing LA valiant vs Glads
Harryhook on bastion
anyone know the map picks for the match?
Yeah Monte man back at it again
Junkertown is first map
Pirateship meta is alive and well
well i'm gonna sleep now
Only if it comes to Europe 😦
Ahh yeah sucks
end me
Hate this map
dallas on 3 supports, no mercy, no main tank. Are they fuckin around?
Yeah it's a weird comp
wtf are they doing?
I don't understand, no Hard DPS nothing to counter anyone
messin around with funky comps for preseason
Literally just PUG strats
think of it as a scrim i guess
Yeah but even Dallas vs Houston had better comps than this
I am loving this
Florida Mayhem literally just walked into the site
Trying new strats and shit
Dallas are playing mindgames 👀
Coco on hog 🤦
WHY
Dallas Smurfing
They should have let tiamou play hog at least
Hook from across the yard
I love watching Custa play Moira
I want to see Cocco Genji tbh
Maybe to counter Logix but I agree
It makes sense
Dallas just all over the place
His hog makes no sense at all
Another surprising start
Tviq just DMing
lol
Will they sub in now?
Sub in Taimou and xQc
Yeah
The only time i saw coco in the kill feed is when he killed the orisa ult
Yeah but they saw that mayhem weren't playing pirate ship yet still stuck through
They are trying to make it work as a standard strat+ a bastion counter
Taimou Mercy
Harry on Sym
The funniest video ever is seagull on phara and tiamou on mercy
Might make as much sense
Yeah that was a good video
Is tiamou having problems or something
Did anyone see the video of Seagull for Overwatch league doing drifting in his car?
It was so funny. Slow mo walking etc
+xQc
- False reports
What a lad
XQC (skull)
Why are they not playing in Kingsrow
Maps are premade for all I think
Or route 66
I'm so glad I'm watching on my tv and not with that skull chat
Prolly to save strats I guess

Yes
Literally a cheat
Even lunatic hai couldnt do anything against it
He just boops them when they dive him or he drops down
We'll see if Mayhem has a counter
Tviq gonna pull a Spitfire and backcap pint
Lol aww, thought tviq was gonna pull a rascal
Tbh it’s the dumbass sombra’s fault
LOL
Holy shit so many 900iq plays
And they are falling for it
Dallas Orisa skin looks incredible
They didnt have a hitscan
That was quick
@spring lintel Junkie cheat spot, let's see if it happens
Yeah the phara got him
I'mma do that on Comp now
It’s insane good
OMG mickie’s save
What?

Mickie for the fucking win
Holy shit I didn't notice
Mid fight
I love LAN
That dm probably won them the fight
McCree's revolver is sponsored by McDonald's
lol effect
LOL effect teaching
I just learned you can rocket jump with Soldier
And who said watching esports won't improve your SR
i love effect
Ok Effect
Dude i am still in love with that DM
Jfc it's just Effect and then everyone else
Mickie is amazing
It was a flick DM
I was like, what she's still flying?
what are these hooks
mannetein is a tier 1 hog apparently
xqc
Didnt know that
nerf bunny blaster
actually a pro junkrat
Actually the best junkrat
that doomfist kill was pretty slick
literally a pro
bring in taimu
He didnt have a mine i think and he instantly used a trap
Quick thinking
That xqc’s escape from the ult was slick
yeah, trap kill
Tfw You want to root for Mayhem but hate their color scheme and logo
I wanna see dvas matrix again
can some one clip the vlog please
Someone did earlier haha
imma just copy my comment
Watching OWL rn
First time watching pro OW
It's really weird
Coming from CS it seems that there are a lot of things you need to look at and be aware of
compared to watching pro CS
They probably can but are encouraged to try get the new names to stick
^
Like, people paid $20 mil for a slot and new branding, they gotta get people calling these teams by the new names and buying new jerseys. 😉
Taimou finally in?
No
They are gonna keep coco on orisa ?
Taimou is in jail
Is he?
Ok no he was at the start
Let's see some pharah
Not quite
this widow makes it look so easy
Taimou skills man
LOL xqc
Yeah Taimou is fucking crazy
100-0
I think Dallas stopped playing around after Junker Town
They are just playing around
Effect is so amazing
They are just too good
He had to reload and he was like "well shit"
I don’t think they are even try harding that much
good thing his teamamates love him
RIP widow
If they get the point once, widow would be good
aerial superiority
Fucking around
Yup mccree is good in this section
Sadly phara is too OP on this section
So much aerial cover
xqc9
woulnt it be awesome if they had a owl but not as serious. and u can create teams and compete with other teams
izz true tho mercy's op
Phara on well map is insanely good


XcQC
CHIPS YES
Shit, Ana too good again, better nerf her back down to 60 damage. 
Hey hey, get in line with the nerfs I still got Junkrat and Mercy as priority
spectator cam is totally useless
Missed the last map because i am shitting bricks.Never eating a big mac and 20 chicken nuggets again
Blizz needs to get some proper observers
fuck that
Rip preseason
Now for my boys vs my other boys
It's a tough combo, I actually don't know who would win
NYXL all the way though
leggo
Xqc actually insane
why is star wars music playing
I met xqc irl
SEOUL fighting
same
Mickie Yeahhh
LMAOOO
lmao
aw lol
Dude's a riot
LOLOL
JACK IN THE BOX
Best Pro in OWL
love that guy
Is it food? UK here.
Yeah
Mickie is the best ever
what did i miss?
Think McDonalds or KFC
Yeah it's a fast food resturant or something afaik
Ah kk
@gilded talon dallas stomping
Vs
