@gaunt acorn you didnt miss anything exciting
#esports-discussion
rare tangle
I'm gonna miss all the matches cause I'll probably go to sleep soon
vestal mortar
I'm catching up on VODs now! :D
sleek lagoon
are we not watching the OWL why is no one talking
is it going on in general discussion
oh it's a past broadcast
magic zinc
There's Twitch broadcasts of each seperate match with the only spoiler being the video length
But its the best we have rn I guess
vestal mortar
The OWL channel is rebroadcasting it too
vestal mortar
And there's the full length VOD which I am using
magic zinc
But they didn't have Seoul/Fuel up yet this morning
vestal mortar
Looking forward to watching one game live tonight! :D
wet shoal
I posted on Reddit but curious if I was the only one with this issue. https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/7poduh/owl_suggestion_filter_sounds/
Was driving me nuts last night.
magic zinc
You were playing OW while watching OWL?
wet shoal
Yup
silk linden
...I don't think anyone can sympathize with your plight here
it's like, such a specific situation
warm quartz
Im sorry fuckers
Did you ask "does this place blow up when its live?"
YES IT DOES
WE WERE HAVING A DALLAS V SEOUL FIGHT LAST NIGHT DURING THE GAME
silk linden
it blows up in a cloud of nonsense and bad opinions
warm quartz
In which everyone knows Dallas lost because they didnt sub in seagull on HIS map lmao
Anyone who's seen seagull on numbani
Ooooh
tropic onyx
Hasbro tweeted "subbing in xQc for a nap" instead of map. He cursed his own player lol
warm quartz
Hasbro?
magic zinc
Well if a player is ill you sub them out otherwise you're just trying to lose
tropic onyx
*Hastro
warm quartz
Hastro? LMAO
silk linden
in which everything gets called a C9 for some reason and xQc is considered a bad player and you're a fanboy if you don't agree that he should be literally incarcerated, apparently
magic zinc
Literally everything is a C9 now
warm quartz
Okay the numbani c9 was a legit c9 tho
tropic onyx
Literally yeah
magic zinc
Its kinda funny tbh but it's losing its appeal
silk linden
dude, he was against RYUJEHONG
warm quartz
xQc should have been kicked out of OWL upon his first suspension.
severe helm
wouldnt say xqc is the worst. made bad plays though
warm quartz
He's one of the faces of overwatch right?
severe helm
both teams made bad plays
silk linden
ryu can hit a fly from across the map with his sleep darts
tropic onyx
Wondering how the Valiant v Fuel match will go
warm quartz
He shouldn't be showing that behavior on stream as a face of overwatch. He should have been kicked.
silk linden
"xQc should have been kicked out" why do people like you exist
warm quartz
Same reason i hate stylosa
silk linden
whyyyy so many terrible hot takes
rugged cedar
ok jeff where is my 100 more tokens
I signed up like 100000 years ago
even got the "overwatch league is starting!" email
severe helm
because plat chat.
so many toxic comments acting like they are better rofl
that was the most entertaining thing honestly. That and the basketball shot
silk linden
you know who gets kicked out? Boosters, account sellers, people who literally break rules
xQc is just obnoxious on stream, he didn't do anything major
silk linden
but people like to shit on him because he's annoying
tropic onyx
Hating stylosas content is fine. But you can't deny that he can be a gateway for OWL fans
magic zinc
Yeah I don't watch any of the OW news channels but their reach is no joke
severe helm
xqc literally threw games to blow off steam. he is toxic af so in that regards it's ok
Sylosa is an attention whore hence why the hate
silk linden
throwing is not a major infraction of the rules
tropic onyx
...
Ok
silk linden
it's just bad behavior that he got already punished for
severe helm
oh i see what you are saying
silk linden
it's not something suspension worthy
warm quartz
Stylosa's followers are my issue with Stylosa. His little cult following tends to adhere to meta only and follow his every word like its the goddamn ten commandments
severe helm
not from a team i agree but he definitely needs to clean it up though as that is an image
silk linden
people saying he should be kicked off the league because of that time he threw, for which he was already punished and already apologized, are just being haters
severe helm
no different than athletes or actors. Yea go do heroine but dont show it to the public
warm quartz
So i just end up hating stylosa in the end for not thinking about what he's encouraging on his viewers
He got suspended what twice?
He's a face of OVERWATCH now
magic zinc
I don't like xQc personally but asking him to be kicked is a little much?
magic zinc
Each to their own ya know
severe helm
they wanted seagull was all lmao
warm quartz
Hopefully now that the season has started it's zero tolerance
silk linden
y'all are acting like he's doing bronze to GM challenges on stream or calling people the N word
severe helm
no he didnt do that but from here on he should get his shit together.
silk linden
people get suspensions for all kinds of shit
warm quartz
If you infract on blizzard's rules in the first place then maybe you shouldn't be representing them
magic zinc
Did we ever get to know what his consequences where?
silk linden
you get suspended for accidentally leaving a game early
severe helm
yea, suspension on account etc
warm quartz
I meant account suspension
severe helm
he paid his dues
warm quartz
Full on account suspension
If you break blizz's rules THAT badly you shouldn't be allowed in OWL
severe helm
now if he keeps acting like an asshole continously then something needs to happen
warm quartz
Two account suspensions correct?
tacit aspen
So Dallas fuel when's the first match. Crowd is hyped, streams are hyped, it's looking like a phenomenal matchup. Then subs are made after only the first match. Unexpected, but most people have an open mind about it. Fuel goes on offense and absolutely blasts through Temple of Anubis. Blistering speed. 6+ minutes left on the clock. But Dynasty battles back and it's a back and forth offensive shootout going down to the wire. Still looking awesome. Then on the third map Dallas just doesn't look the same. What do you all think happened?
severe helm
they got fucked
warm quartz
xQc happened.
magic zinc
Tilt/Dissapointment
severe helm
tired, and tilted
severe helm
seoul said oh look they are cute with the plays and adapted
silk linden
xQc is not toxic, what the hell
severe helm
simple as that
warm quartz
But i have a feeling xQc happened
tacit aspen
@warm quartz xQc was there on Anubis and overall didn't play bad. Fuel was still looking good.
grizzled mulch
Stop trying to asume thing that you wont know for sure it happened
magic zinc
xQc is appearently a great teammate in pro-teams lol
Great communication and what not
warm quartz
xQc is known for shittalking his team, thats why im saying xQc probably happened
silk linden
all xQc did was having an aggressive playstyle that was figured out by seoul and did not receive enout followup
he didn't do bad plays per se
tacit aspen
I don't like xQc's stream myself, and I really think his role in the matches is overplayed
magic zinc
I think it was just general dissapointment from losing Anubis, and they couldn't sub out anyone because the subs were ill
warm quartz
So xQc tilted in the end RESULTING in the loss
grizzled mulch
Yeah but his stream is toxic so course it must be the case in pro environment /s
magic zinc
^
severe helm
dallas didnt adapt fast enough I think. Seoul just made some risks and werent punished
tacit aspen
I thought he was rough on Ilois, not Anubis. But all of Fuel looked rough on the third map.
silk linden
@warm quartz everyone in Fuel says he's respectful and professional when with them, stop spewing this bullshit
grizzled mulch
The line of thought is so fucking wrong.
warm quartz
xQc tilts easily. He likely tilted and resulted in him not changing up his playstyle enough to surprise Seoul
severe helm
Like fleta fucking flanking on anubis was god damn sexy
warm quartz
That and Taimou decided to meme on numbani
magic zinc
Man you are pretty biased huh lol
grizzled mulch
STOP ASSUMING THINGS
tacit aspen
@warm quartz okay dude we get it. You think he sucks. Want to contribute anything else?
I'm sick of talking about him
uneven flax
Taimou played torb knowing they had a pharah and soldier
warm quartz
I never said he sucks as a player. Just in terms of representing Overwatch he really shouldn't be.
uneven flax
Lmao
tacit aspen
@warm quartz k.
warm quartz
Its numbani
uneven flax
Yes he did
warm quartz
Its num fucking bani
severe helm
no he didtn?
warm quartz
If they dont have pharah i'll be damned
uneven flax
Because they played it the previous round
uneven flax
They played pharah and soldier first round when he went torb
warm quartz
Numbani people, even in LADDER, often will TRY to pharah and see if it works
uneven flax
And he did it again
warm quartz
If it doesnt they switch
severe helm
they been playing flankers a lot so it was safe to assume tracer or gengu would be picked
uneven flax
Into a pharah and soldier
severe helm
bro you are assuming so badly here
silk linden
AND WHEN HE DID IT AGAIN THEY DREW THE ROUND, WHY ARE YOU SAYING STUPID SHIT
grizzled mulch
Torb is an actual strat lol
uneven flax
Fuel could of easily won
tacit aspen
Do you all think there were any major tipping points where the series really turned for Dynasty? I'd say it have to have happened early in the third match.
warm quartz
Well...second round they had already lost.
uneven flax
They should of kept seagull in
silk linden
the second time worked betted than the second, what are you even fucking saying
warm quartz
It didnt MATTER during the second round
uneven flax
They threw on ilios by having Mickie on roadhog
magic zinc
I think Fuel losing Anubis really threw them off in general
silk linden
Torb gets played on numbani defense even by Seoul
uneven flax
They also had Harry on zen
severe helm
seoul played anubis so damn well
magic zinc
Both teams played Anubis amazingly
silk linden
Ilios they needed different comps, everyone agrees
severe helm
that hold that burnt 3-4mins was a tipping point
uneven flax
Fuel was mentally fatigued
tacit aspen
I'd agree with that
uneven flax
They kinda gave up
silk linden
they gave up? when?
severe helm
when?
warm quartz
Numbani
uneven flax
On ilios
silk linden
whyyyyy so many people saying stupid shit
severe helm
numbani was a chance to draw
uneven flax
You could tell they fell apart
warm quartz
They knew they were done for by Numbani p much
severe helm
but seoul outplayed them at the end
uneven flax
After the bad plays xqc made on anubis
warm quartz
Seoul didnt outplay them lmao
uneven flax
Kinda costed them
severe helm
wtf are you taking about
uneven flax
Then they got tilted
silk linden
PRO PLAYERS DON'T GET TILTED
uneven flax
Should of just kept seagull in instead of xqc
silk linden
THIS ISN'T A PLATINUM GAME
tacit aspen
I don't think they gave up. I think morale was role and a little panic was setting in, but I don't think any of them were just like "fuck it I'm not even trying" on their debut match
severe helm
xqc fucked miro up as rein
taimou fucked fleta up as mccree
magic zinc
They can get thrown off their game after a tough series loss though
uneven flax
Xqc didn't do anything
warm quartz
xQc hopped off the point (Causing the xQc9 meme) which knowing human psychology even in the slightest, probably frustrated his team
severe helm
here we go
uneven flax
He couldn't even hit the broad side of a barn playing winston
silk linden
Xqc didn't do anything
leave this channel please
uneven flax
A hero that requires no aim
severe helm
you clearly watched a different game
silk linden
you clearly don't understand overwatch
uneven flax
Xqc fed so hard
warm quartz
They at least got frustrated, you could tell that with Fuel.
That they just couldnt hold the point any longer on Anubis resulting in the loss
uneven flax
He threw on defense by overextending and costed them the point
severe helm
and so did miro
tacit aspen
@warm quartz wait, are you saying that xQc contributed to the lost? Wow thanks for that new argument you made. Your comments are very refreshing keep them coming.
severe helm
as winston
warm quartz
xQc is probably being bombarded on twitter and such
severe helm
against fucking bastion
uneven flax
You guys clearly don't pay attention
severe helm
lmao
uneven flax
And he c9d
silk linden
"xQc c9d" please close this channel
tacit aspen
I don't think we all have the same definition of threw or throwing
uneven flax
@severe helm dude your fucking stupid
warm quartz
xQc technically did c9 however. He never dropped below 200 and could have stayed in a small amount longer.
severe helm
sure buddy go back to bnet forums
warm quartz
It was a slight lose-lose situation tho
He jump off, his team cant get there, he stay on his team still couldnt get there
He would have DIED to the focus fire in the same time it took for him to hop off
magic zinc
It was either hop off and hope someone else got on in-time to stall and heal up, or die right there and lose
tacit aspen
From my understanding, it means intentionally tossing a match or not giving anfuck and dicking around. It does not mean making a habitual jump away from instant death, getting caught out of position, or not playing your best game.
silk linden
it was a lose lose, except what he did was actually better. He could have jumped back on point after jumping off, throwing people off, he was just slightly mistimed
warm quartz
So either way xQc was the final nail in the coffin
warm quartz
Him not being able to stay on point tilted his team and threw Fuel off.
tacit aspen
People seem to be equating throwing with = he didn't play that right
warm quartz
Well thats what it is in Ladder
magic zinc
Right thats in ladder
uneven flax
The team got tilted even before that
magic zinc
Not in a team that lives together
warm quartz
So everyone just says he was throwing cause its easier and people understand it easier.
uneven flax
It was when xqc overextended on 2nd point defense
warm quartz
Same reason i call my alt (which is higher than my main) my smurf
silk linden
"tilted his team and threw fuel off" this is not a diamond game goddammit
tacit aspen
But that's not accurate
warm quartz
People understand smurf faster than alt around here.
So same rules apply to throwing and not playing right
Least for 80% of the community
uneven flax
Xqc should of just played orisa and stay on point behind the shield
His winston is shit
silk linden
his winston is shit
tacit aspen
ALRIGHT WE GET IT, TWMPORTALS THINKS XQC LOST THE GAME AND IS TOXIC. CAN WE MOVE ON.
uneven flax
He can't even aim with with winston
uneven flax
Which is sad
gaunt acorn
his winston is shit
magic zinc
heard it here first @silk linden kappa
gaunt acorn
lol
uneven flax
His aim looked way too jittery
severe helm
is this real?
tacit aspen
Can we talk about those widow kills early in the series. Disgusting.
uneven flax
I thought his orisa wasn't half bad
warm quartz
Dallas is the true Meme team
silk linden
literally every successful push involved him killing Tobi
uneven flax
But his winston was shit
warm quartz
Dallas is the new Meme Dream Team
(I think thats a team in some tournament lmao)
Its like kephrii and shit right?
magic zinc
Kephrii + A bunch of Australian streamers yeah
uneven flax
Effect literally had to carry a 5v6
warm quartz
Cool im not crazy
magic zinc
Was a one-time thing afaik
warm quartz
With like Loserfruit and Oasis iirc
uneven flax
Because xqc was dead first every fight
severe helm
kephrii+stylosa would be the dream team
tacit aspen
Also, I'm a little disappointed I didn't see more of a mercy pov. I understand why she doesn't get the same screen time as dps, but I don't think I saw any of her from the first and third matchups (didn't watch the gladiator game)
uneven flax
They rode shaz cock for gladiator game
tacit aspen
@uneven flax sleepy was tbh
severe helm
cause nothing was really happening at the time other than the handful of moments
thorn forum
.Who played yesterday
thorn forum
Trying tonight it on youtube
warm quartz
Uh
thorn forum
Find it*
severe helm
mercy dont go into the fray
warm quartz
Fuel and Seoul
uneven flax
Shaz is the best zen
tacit aspen
Sleepy was getting killed so early on every push
I think he was a deciding factor to some degree
steel igloo
I’m cheering for Dallas, I’m sad that their sub was throwing
uneven flax
What do you expect soon is the best tracer @tacit aspen
severe helm
not gonna lie i was pretty god damn tilted when we were spectating xqc on numbani for 10 sec when all he was doing was lord of the rings walking to the healthpack while a firefight was happening and effect wont he round
warm quartz
Dallas is who you root for for memes. For actual gameplay? Right now it's seoul for me cause i havent seen how the other teams play yet
severe helm
who the fuck was the camera person like god dammit
tacit aspen
Even the announcer was like "sleepy gets picked early! ....I've been saying that a lot...."
thorn forum
And play today
warm quartz
"Stop chanting USA. YOU ONLY HAVE ONE AMERICAN."
thorn forum
Does any*
warm quartz
Best quote
tacit aspen
That was funny
magic zinc
I love the casters
warm quartz
The casters are fuckin godsends
uneven flax
All sf shock is individual performance
magic zinc
The "This is how we do it in Burbank" was hilarious
uneven flax
They have no team chemistry whatsoever
Even when they get sinatraa it's still going to be a shit show
warm quartz
That and the seagull bouncing around in the crowd ect
steel igloo
Baby bay did a really good Genji ult,
tacit aspen
@uneven flax I think that's way too early to call
uneven flax
La glad plays so good together
warm quartz
Nooot really
uneven flax
Their dives are always coordinated
warm quartz
Valiant almost swung me their way last night
tacit aspen
@uneven flax it's the first match of their season and they were playing without their ringers. Plenty of time to come together still
steel igloo
I might start cheering for the gladiators
uneven flax
La val is good because fate and agilities hard carry
tacit aspen
Like is this the first time some of y'all have every watched sports?
uneven flax
Just like they did on immort
warm quartz
Right now im seoul (then again who doesnt mildly root for seoul because undeniably they're one of the best teams)
uneven flax
Glad is my favorite team because surefour
warm quartz
Then again they're fuckin koreans
uneven flax
And I like hydration spicy doomfist gameplay
warm quartz
I could swing anyway tbh with the league
warm quartz
For now i have Mercy Excelsior
magic zinc
Where he goes, my heart goes
warm quartz
Because i loved how mercy excelsior looked with golden staff
uneven flax
Idk how harb isn't on sf shock
warm quartz
(One of my mercy buddies went and bought every mercy skin for all the teams)
magic zinc
I'm lowkey hoping Fuel gets Harb
uneven flax
He would be so much better than nomy
magic zinc
He plays all off-tanks
uneven flax
And nevix
wild salmon
someone epxlain me this c9 meme?
warm quartz
Can we get a meme overwatch league team
tacit aspen
I want more Mercy pov
magic zinc
Fuel doesn't have D.va back-up, and their DPS has to flex to Zarya/Hog
Harb can fix that <3
uneven flax
Shanghai is a meme
warm quartz
In a nutshell: cloud nine hopped off the point during a tournament. Resulting in a loss..like 3 times i think
uneven flax
They are a masters team lul
magic zinc
They also didn't cap on Lijang I think?
scarlet spear
giving away the map for free by stepping off the objective for useless kills
magic zinc
Like they hopped off before capping and it lost them the round
tacit aspen
@warm quartz please drop it
tacit aspen
We should just change this to the xQc debate channel
warm quartz
Dude, banana glass asked about the c9 meme
I explained it
Nothing more.
Read up
Or in other words: stepping off an already won objective/not bothering to hop on to contest on defense.
Thats pretty much c9ing @wild salmon
Anything i left out?
wild salmon
I see
warm quartz
Besides like the tournament name and the exact details?
All i remember is the first c9 was on first point Gibraltar
magic zinc
You forgot the part where Twitch Chat ran with it and now being team-wiped and losing the point is considered a C9
tacit aspen
Here's my predictions tonight:
Spitfire 4 - Mayhem 0
Fusion 1 - Outlaws 3
Uprising 1 - Excelsior 2
Thoughts?
warm quartz
Hmm well we'll see how they play since i havent looked into these 6 teams much besides Exelsior
Only reason i support excelsior is they have Flow3r awaiting his birthday iirc
Soon as he turns 18 he's in the fray
Yeah they do lol
scarlet spear
flower doesnt turn 18 before season 2 tho
tacit aspen
Spitfire is generally regarded as number 2 to dynasty, and Mayhem is looking real rough. I expect a blowout, especially seeing how lopsided these matches can get.
warm quartz
@scarlet spear thats fine lmao
magic zinc
NYXL could be a clean 4-0 against Boston
warm quartz
I just support Excelsior because I find Flow3r to be kind of cool
PLUS THEIR TEAM UNIFORMS ARE REALLLLY NICE IMO
tacit aspen
Fusion no one really knows that much about because they didn't play preseason. I think the lack of information will help them sneak a win off the outlaws, but the outlaws still the better team
@magic zinc definitely possible, but I think Boston may surprise some people.
warm quartz
We'll find out as the matches unfold tonight.
tropic onyx
Their marketing is #1 too
tacit aspen
Whose marketing?
scarlet spear
NYXL marketing is top notch yeh
warm quartz
Lol
warm quartz
I havent seen NYXL's marketing lul
tacit aspen
I would probably be a valient fan if their marketing wasn't trash. Horrible colors, terribly boring introduction vid.
scarlet spear
they have a banner for their team on the times square
warm quartz
oh
tacit aspen
They had that huge ad in times square
scarlet spear
and by far the best production of their videos
tacit aspen
Yeah that
scarlet spear
the origins videos about SBB and ark are great
tacit aspen
I'll have to give it a watch
warm quartz
HEY FUCKING ALL LA SONS OF BITCHES
STEP YOUR GAME UP
cough anyways
Isnt the Blizz stage in LA?
They have no excuses
tacit aspen
The outlaws had a good one Imo. Show me each player and some of their game play. That's what i want. Valients was one dude talking about building men of good social standing and shit
warm quartz
Im expecting Dallas to release a meme video edited by seagull/xQc soon
That'd be great
Or even better
xQc make a meme video about his c9 and post it
Well
"C9"
Or even at the end of the season 2 videos
"Best moments of Dallas Fuel"
And "Bloopers of Dallas Fuel"

They should introduce a gametype like domination in unreal tournament 2k4 where you have to capture 2 points simultaneously to score 1 point

you can download the OWL app Snow

They didn't have Seoul/Fuel up this morning though, I watched the entire Twitch vod instead so I couldn't get spoiled lol

They even put up dummy 5th matches so you don't get spoiled by that
The only spoiler you get for watching VODS is video length
But I have yet to find out a way to circumvent that

what's the deal with Seagull?
magic zinc
Appearently he was ill?
balmy wolf
oh really?
magic zinc
IDDQD too
balmy wolf
ok makes sense
magic zinc
Makes you wonder if they just have the flu or if they're overworked
balmy wolf
well he streamed for awhile yesterday
or the day before actually
and said that he was really tired
same with the team
toxic pasture
Hi
magic zinc
In traditional sports there's a day off before the game usually, don't think eSports has that (yet)
magic zinc
Yeah he probably wasn't able to keep it up and asked to be subbed maybe?
balmy wolf
unsure. I don't think that XQC was prepared to step in
magic zinc
I think Seoul did really well to counter xQc's agressive Winston
balmy wolf
and he was focused like crazy
magic zinc
Was really cool to watch
balmy wolf
yes
exactly
like the world was shitting on him
but he was the target of almost every ult
magic zinc
I guess something was up with Cocco too then, I'd assume they switch him in after noticing that

Is there going to be any other matches that are this good in OWL stage 1?
magic zinc
NYXL vs Houston is a good one

preseason they faced shock and gladiators

Valient vs. Fuel will be good as fuck is my expectation. Valient was supposed to be a tier below fuel based on preseason and paper roster, but after last night I think Valient may give fuel trouble if Fuel plays like it did those last two maps
If fuel plays like they did map 1&2 then I think they'll handle Valient easy. But I'm not sure that'll be the case. Should be a very telling matchup.

THATS LOUD AS FUCK
celest shell
SHD is team that failed to even make the finals in the last big Chinese tournament. They finished 7th/8th
magic zinc
Yeah there are some shady rumors around Shanghai...
celest shell
I mean wtf do you expect now that they are against the best in the world?
wintry roost
@solemn prism rich kids with there genji skins

@balmy wolf i have 2$ left in the bank i aint rich

There is maybe 2 players on SHD that are OWL worthy. 3 if Lucio is meta again.

jagged crater
400k viewers for day 1, not bad
wintry roost
Any really good players on philly
magic zinc
Carpe, Shadowburn
jagged crater
philly's in a rough spot because they had a lot less time together compared to other teams
didnt even play the preseason
magic zinc
They also had the SADO situation
jagged crater
so we have no idea how they're gonna perform
magic zinc
Possible that affected the team at least a little bit
celest shell
Tough first matchup too
jagged crater
add that on top of a very very mixed nationality team, could be communication issues
which needs time to build
median sierra
whos your favourite too win
jagged crater
8 different nationalities, that's more diverse than dallas fuel
9 if including snillo (who's inactive due to age atm)
celest shell
Houston 3-1
wintry roost
SADO situation?
jagged crater
dats how we do it in philly
magic zinc
SADO got suspended for 30 games for boosting accounts
I reckon that affects the team a little bit at least
median sierra
yh but its all about that team called fortnite bashers
jagged crater
carpe, shadowburn and boombox are philly's star players
if all 3 of them popoff, maybe MAYBE
but vs london, yea prob not
magic zinc
If the synergy isn't there they're going down 100%
jagged crater
london literally 2 top korean teams in one
how does a team with < 2 weeks time together even beat that
rare tangle
what if instead of being london it had been called the mexico city chiahuahua's and they were the mexico team
wintry roost
Yeah
jagged crater
but who knows stars align, weird unexpected stuff has happened in OW pro level

The League is fun to have open even while playing OW
Its worth it also, for the tokens

How do you get tokens for the league?

You get 100 by logging into Overwatch before February... 8th(?)
You get another 100 by signing up to the e-mail alerts
Lemme find that for you
wintry roost
Yeah but how he was saying it was like you get them for watchin.
warm quartz
So if i sat through all those hours in playoverwatch for nothing last night lmao
Nah jk i actually wanted to see Fuel v Seoul
midnight turret
Who do you think is gonna win OWL matches today?
My Guesses are Spitfire (VS Mayhem), Outlaws (vs Fusion) and NYXL (vs Uprising)
silk linden
ready for some more 4-0s today
I'm interestend is seeing if Outlaws are as dominant as people say, and if Uprising have improved as much as the people who scrimmed them say
though I can't see any upset happening
maybeee houston v philly and boston v NY won't be 4-0s, but I'm not sure
magic zinc
Outlaws could very well be dominant but Fusion is a pure wild card
That being said, it doesn't seem likely for Fusion to just overthrow Outlaws like that
silk linden
as Doa said, they are potentially the best team in the league 
balmy wolf
dota two or league?
The thing about fusion is that they have pure raw skill
But that won’t help in a league like this
silk linden
I think basically every player in the league has amazing raw skill
it comes down to gamesense and coordination
ok so xQc just said that the roster changes during a series are submitted before the match, I didn't know that
so the coach can't change rosters on a whim based on performance
magic zinc
Oh that sounds... really weird?
Imagine that in a traditional sports thats really odd
silk linden
well, it makes sense that they don't improvise strats
like, the roster without seagull on Ilios was a comp they had practiced and strategized with
magic zinc
I'm sure they've scrimmed multiple options
Or even multiple people on the same role in a strat
And if not they can just choose not to switch
Just sounds really weird to me that that's determined beforehand
paper helm
@silk linden i always thought it would be like WWE.. "noooowwwww entering the arena it's SEEEAAAGGGUUULLLL"
he also said he can be asked to switch off or if his comms are tilted they can force him out
silk linden
yeah but, that seems like an extreme case
makes sense that they want to stick to a comp they practiced and planned as much as possible
magic zinc
@silk linden Did he mean that the team just decides for each map, or that OWL Management requires you to make your subs known pre-match
silk linden
both I guess
silk linden
btw do we have any confirmation of people receving their 100 tokens email yet?
vestal mortar
Nupe
silk linden
I want my dallas skin...
paper helm
the admins/refs would need an idea of which players are switching on/off to ensure the smoothest transition, i assume that's why @magic zinc
silk linden
that's like super secret powerful info though
paper helm
yeah thats why only the admins would be allowed that info
silk linden
like, imagine if you knew beforehand if Spitfire were fielding Busan or Kongdoo on a ceratin map
paper helm
the teams wouldnt see it
magic zinc
That reduces the tactical impact imo
Like last night Seoul did really well to counter xQc's agressive Winston
And they're just tough out of luck at that point?
silk linden
the thing I noticed last night was, as soon as Fleta was out of commission, dallas won the push
like, always
also, Taimou should consider being a tank main full time
ok no he did good on soldier and reaper
vestal mortar
Heh
silk linden
there's no justification for him playingWidowmaker on that team it seems like
magic zinc
He can be on the Widow when they need the added pressure from Effect's Tracer
silk linden
actually, you know what? Maybe Custa did better than Chips...
Mercy meta making me say heretic shit like this
paper helm
do we have an estimated date on the PTR coming to live servers? estimated to be a couple weeks after bliz world correcT?
magic zinc
I think they still want to tweak Mercy
Very possible it'll take 3 weeks or so, don't think they want to mess this one up
paper helm
yeah Jeff said they havent submitted the balance change patch to Xbox/playstation yet, but blizzard world has
so its after that at least
magic zinc
Yeah I kind of expect Blizzardworld next week
jagged crater
Chips won't shine as much with Ana out of the meta
coarse stream
He didnt even play that bad
jagged crater
Custa and Chips zen are pretty similar so cant say who's better
coarse stream
None of the Fuel played awfully.
jagged crater
it was more like Seoul adjusted better
coarse stream
They just got outplayed by Seoul.
Yeah like on Numbani
Fuel plays a comp that is very good at punishing people.
jagged crater
iddqd was right about the koreans vs west thing
coarse stream
But Seoul only went in when they had Pharah and Tracer damage
jagged crater
what seperates koreans and west was that koreans can adjust better on the fly
coarse stream
Thats just a seperation between the east and the west in general
The east is very good at that passive, analytical, adaptive form of play
jagged crater
cant say the same about China tho
coarse stream
Whereas the west is generally better at aggressive, fast play.
jagged crater
cant say the same about China tho
magic zinc
I think that's why the East has made huge jumps since APEX 1
paper helm
west are known to be better mechanically as well, in terms of raw aim due to FPS being more popular on that side of the world
not to say koreans are bad at aiming, some of those shots were godlike
magic zinc
I read an article a while ago on how Korean coaches would analyze Miro's Winston play, every single jump
jagged crater
that's what people said before apex
magic zinc
And apply that advice to their main tanks
jagged crater
that koreans are bad at fps
magic zinc
It worked; the other tanks have since caught up to Miro on Winston imo
paper helm
not necessarily bad, but not as good as the west you know
jagged crater
mechanically west and koreans are about equal
mechanically west and koreans are about equal
but west have more experience in FPS
coarse stream
tbh I dont feel like that holds true in OW
In CS for sure.
tbh I dont feel like that holds true in OW
In CS for sure.
But not so much in OW
jagged crater
mechanically west and koreans are about equal
but west have more experience in FPS
CS is just not popular in korea compared to OW
paper helm
with OW if a team performs badly you can't say it was because they had bad aim or missed shots, it could simply be becase their positioning or strats were better, so koreans get punished less for 'worse' aim because their knowledge of the game is immense
sinful isle
i just rewatched the GLA games and boi, the beauty of Shaz zenyatta
vestal mortar
I think that most importantly it shows how essential it is to move as a team with good comms. Some of the set up plays Seoul did on Anubis were incredible! I really liked how Dallas made adjustments to their appraches on Anubis too. That was just such a good map! AHHH

and stylosa already have been using spitfire as an alt account name
vestal mortar
Yeah they have 12 players on the team. He is probably part of the staff.

I dont someone retweeted it

Its pretty obvious Clickbait?

stylosa hates me

it looks so awkard in the video, the koreans are like hell yea we're british!

If stylosa legit joined spitfire as a player...i feel bad for you londoners
"Pip pip cheerio!"-Koreans about being on Spitfire

being from UK i feel no sense of pride for london spitfire

Literally impossible at this point but okay
Roster was locked months ago and published
warm quartz
I meant in general eagle
magic zinc
Oh
warm quartz
If he joined spitfire EVER as a player i would feel so bad for the londoners
warm quartz
He's the PR guy
jagged crater
you got 2 really good korean teams for london, that's good enough
it was weird tho
magic zinc
They're not trying super hard to woo the European crowd imo
Although I've heard they're trying really hard to learn English
magic zinc
Dallas Fuel is a great piece of PR just by existing
EnVyUs being the most popular western team
Adding 2 extremely marketable players with huge followings
magic zinc
ALL THEY NEED IS HARBLEU

eh i bet chipsa has a lot more flexability than kephrii
magic zinc
Chipsa is quite a good Genji
magic zinc
warm quartz
But he's inactive on NYXL's roster
magic zinc
Right but they still need a starting 6
jagged crater
whatever it is, dont lump wraxu in that group
jagged crater
he too chill for them
magic zinc
Wraxu is too flexible to be in that group
jagged crater
even pros compliment wraxu for being an insane hanzo
like wraxu is prob the best one trick for his hero
better than kephrii on widow (compared to other widows)
magic zinc
I'd say Chipsa is up there also
jagged crater
if wraxu were to one trick
magic zinc
Kephrii regularly gets out-Widowed but blames it on hacks...
silk linden
chipsa's thing is, I don't think he would enjoy the pro life
hell, he was gonna quit OW before Doomfist came out
he just found his niche and he likes it there
jagged crater
good thing doomfist came out!
silk linden
just like some players would be much better off as streamers, money wise, but they just want to play pro
jagged crater
you can already see it in the eyes of xqc that he wants to be a streamer more than he wants to be a pro
silk linden
I don't think so
jagged crater
pro is not for everyone, it's a lot more stressful
silk linden
people make too many assumptions about xQc tbh
jagged crater
xqc wants to be both, but there's just no time for that
magic zinc
I think he's still very much inbetween, its breaking him up a little bit
But we can't assume things
Yeah he wants to do both full-time it seems
Admirable, but a little destructive probably
jagged crater
stream 10 hours a day + scrim 6 hours a day,that's just asking for burnout
silk linden
I mean, he's hardly the only player who spends most of his time playing even when not in practice
it's just how some people like to spend their time
magic zinc
Well his type of stream doesn't lend himself to winding down
silk linden
I guess they will force him to do other things once they get a team house
jagged crater
think he's the highest level player in OWL too
silk linden
like Valiant, who seem to have all their daily life planned out by their org
jagged crater
in terms of one account
silk linden
koreans don't play on ladder?
magic zinc
Thats because he hasn't always been a pro and scrims don't give levels I think
paper helm
he has passion for the game i personally hope it lasts, he def needs to chill sometime to not get burnt out
silk linden
1 hour and 30 min, isn't it?
magic zinc
Well thats when the match starts
jagged crater
whatever says on the website
