[full lion]

i hope all this widowmaker play somehow magically rubs off on me when i start playing comp again

[silent crest]

LOOOL

[full lion]

lol

[pearl stratus]

Yeah last match.

Nevix outdamaged Danteh.

Danteh is a support dps right now.

Babybay is the only playmaker.

[jovial jewel]

: the one team where all our players are under 22 except for our mercy player

[slim summit]

dhak yelling about emotes in preseason 👌

[pearl stratus]

Sleepy outdamaged Danteh.

Shut down Babybay.

Shut down the Shock.

[jovial jewel]

god sleepy looks like he's 15 or 16

jesus

[full lion]

danteh looks 11

[stable birch]

i look 10

[pearl stratus]

I'd feel so bad playing Zenyatta in this league.

[jovial jewel]

i look -1

[full lion]

his voice doesnt match his face

[pearl stratus]

With Jjonak standing right there.

Judging you.

With his monster damage.

Dhak is the team dad.

[stable birch]

the role of zenyatta is to just stay alive and think

oof

[jovial jewel]

sinatraa CRINGE

[pearl stratus]

Seriously.

It's like Dhak the pitbull, with a bunch of puppies.

[stable birch]

idk how sinatraa made it into the league

[pearl stratus]

Such a weird team.

[jovial jewel]

150k but still one of the worst DPS in the WC

[slim summit]

negotiation

[pearl stratus]

Okay.

Can Blizzard take like..

$1million of their profits.

[full lion]

150k for rank 1 tracer

[pearl stratus]

And spend it on dressing their announcers like real people.

[stable birch]

but hes like

[pearl stratus]

Not hipsters.

[stable birch]

at best a top 50 tracer

doesnt deserve rank 1

[slim summit]

eh

[stable birch]

smh

[slim summit]

it's 2018

i'm just glad they aren't dressed like the typical esports caster clown

[full lion]

whats hipster about them lol

[pearl stratus]

They look like starbucks vomited on some homeless people.

And let them analyze OW.

[slim summit]

grey jacket + fluorescent shirt

[pearl stratus]

Badly analyze it.

[full lion]

tenkei doesnt sound like a city boy

[pearl stratus]

They just look so bad.

[slim summit]

esports casters have a long tradition of looking like edgy kids on prom night

[pearl stratus]

If you're going to have a huge investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

[full lion]

they look like normal people to me idk

[pearl stratus]

Dress them well.

[full lion]

maybe ubers shirt is a little hipstery but actual hipsters are way more over thew top than that

[jovial jewel]

sinatraa is going to get shat on once he's old enough to play in OWL

i can just feel it in my bones man

[stable birch]

lol fr

[full lion]

lol

[slim summit]

he's really good

[sinful heron]

That's actually a fantastic point from the casters, that whole flank is just never used, I wonder what would have to happen to it for it be to good

[slim summit]

but he tilts

[stable birch]

his decision making is worse than xqcs smh

[slim summit]

all of WC you could see it

while they were winning he's on point

once they start losing he starts picking terrible engagements and dies before the teamfight

[stable birch]

^^^

i bet 1 shekel that'll happen

[pearl stratus]

Lol hookblade.

Damn.

[jovial jewel]

he complained about how SBB was always getting harmonied in WC so that's why he was always dying to SBB

[sinful heron]

Aren't we all terrified of C9

[full lion]

when is sinatraa not complaining

[stable birch]

lol dude

in the world cup, sinatraa was throwing fr

[jovial jewel]

he was throwing hard dude

it'll be interesting to see if he actually improves

[stable birch]

literally he tried to trash talk SBB by saying "his tracer playstyle is like a p***y"

like

wtf

[jovial jewel]

or if he'll just get shat on like i'm predicting he will

[stable birch]

thats so dumb honestly

[mental cliff]

Why don’t they put IDDQD in?

[pearl stratus]

Wow that push.

[full lion]

idd is still in the hyperbolic time chamber

[sinful heron]

Tracer dies to dva ult, that shouldn't happen

[forest raven]

[full lion]

4-0 squad

[slim summit]

i'm happily surprised that london beat valiant

i was pretty worried going into it

[marsh pumice]

boston is awake

[slim summit]

and then i was worried again about the reverse sweep

[pearl stratus]

Barely.

They very barely beat LAV.

[full lion]

being happy london won

[pearl stratus]

That was probably the best game of the stage so far.

[slim summit]

london is my team

[jovial jewel]

LAV vs. LS was the best game

[slim summit]

someone has to be the team to beat seoul and it's not gonna be valiant

[jovial jewel]

because it actually had tension and wasnt a blowout

[full lion]

its ok nyxl could beat seoul

[pearl stratus]

It's not going to be London either 😛

[slim summit]

i'm in it for the maximum possible grind final euphoria

[forest raven]

ofc I've seen the rest of it, I made and edit the post 👀 @upper patrol

[pearl stratus]

NYXL might, but definitely not London.

[slim summit]

well it's not my fault london is underperforming

!

[sinful heron]

This is the last game tonight, isn't it?

[pearl stratus]

Maybe it is.

Maybe you should cheer harder.

[jovial jewel]

QUAD TANK 👀

[mental cliff]

Oooh quad tank again

[pearl stratus]

I kind of love quad tank.

[full lion]

quad dps when

[jovial jewel]

MOIRA IN QUADTANK WE PREDICTED THIS 👁

[pearl stratus]

We've seen tri-dps a bunch.

Quad tank just turns into a big brawl.

Because healers get ults quick, and they tend to be big ol huge fights.

[sinful heron]

Grav->Whole Hog-> Shatter H U G E

[pearl stratus]

No picks that make the entire push stop for 30 seconds

Babybay with a garbage grav.

[jovial jewel]

grav whole hog is my most favorite combo

[pearl stratus]

Grav + Moira.

[jovial jewel]

i call it the "scrap grinder"

[full lion]

sounds dank

[sinful heron]

That wet noodle push

[thorn forum]

was the first game good?

[mental cliff]

Mmmm delicious

[pearl stratus]

The Grav + Poko Bomb.

That we saw last week.

Was amazing.

[jovial jewel]

Valiant vs. Spitfire? that was the best game of stage 1

[sinful heron]

Well, that's a hold

[slim summit]

philly v houston tho

err uhh who was it

not philly ?

[full lion]

philly lag

[pearl stratus]

Danteh isn't aggressive and doesn't actually make the other team peel to try and deal with him.

So he's kind of useless.

[jovial jewel]

danteh is just ALRIGHT

[pearl stratus]

He's ignorable.

[sinful heron]

I don't agree with Quad tank, either you win first push or you just give them ults all the time

[pearl stratus]

Which a Tracer should never be

[jovial jewel]

he's like a mosquito

yeah its annoying, but unless it has a disease (pulsebomb) it's nothing serious

[pearl stratus]

And Kazper handled Babybay perfectly on Genji.

Just kept hitting him hard enough not to kill him.

But to keep him driven back

[jovial jewel]

like i said, MOSQUITO

that's all danteh is really

[sinful heron]

So, why is Mei not picked more? Surely she's got some real power vs some of the "meta" heroes ATM

[pearl stratus]

She's Mei.

[jovial jewel]

^

[slim summit]

mei is low dmg and gets swamped by dive

[pearl stratus]

She has some use on second point lunar colony.

[jovial jewel]

yeah she was used pretty well on london vs. glad tho

[pearl stratus]

And gets focused down too fast to matter.

[full lion]

only jehong has the power to play mei

[sinful heron]

Interesting

[mental cliff]

This is the third time in a row I’ve got the same ad

[jovial jewel]

other than that she's just niche as fuck

[pearl stratus]

You use her for point stall.

[slim summit]

london ran mei on point a of HLC in preseason

[pearl stratus]

She's not horrible, she's just horrible against Dive.

[full lion]

when's blizzard nerfing dive

[pearl stratus]

Every hero in Dive is super mobile except Zenyatta.

And Mei is a fat little spaz.

And can't catch mobile people.

[full lion]

its been 50,000 years

[jovial jewel]

35-2 MONKAS?

[woeful wolf]

BISHU IS ON THE NEWS

[mental cliff]

You used to see lucio a lot more in five, now it’s all mercy

[sinful heron]

Because I understand why some of the Heroes aren't being played (Sym and Torb are obvious), but I always thought Mei had some potential, it's interesting that even with her abilites she's still that bad.

[pearl stratus]

It's the meta.

Not the character.

[sinful heron]

Yeah yeah

[pearl stratus]

Mobile Meta = Mei is screwed.

[sinful heron]

I get that, I'm just saying it's interesting

[woeful wolf]

BISCHU WAS IN THE NEWS

ON CBS

POGGERS

[pearl stratus]

It's like Moira.

[full lion]

why

[pearl stratus]

Super balanced support.

[sinful heron]

Haha

[pearl stratus]

Not super used unless you're running 3-4 tanks.

Because of efficiency.

[sinful heron]

Yeah, that makes sense

[woeful wolf]

why didnt danteh play zarya

[pearl stratus]

Probably can't.

I expect Boston to actually dominate.

[full lion]

root for SF

[jovial jewel]

boston is about to 3-1 SF

[pearl stratus]

Because Shock is one trick

[mental cliff]

I wanna see more reaper

[jovial jewel]

shock is a team that is pocketing one player

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sinful heron]

I also want to see more Reaper

[pearl stratus]

San Francisco Babybays.

Reaper has been played a lot in OWL so far.

Someone mentioned earlier OWL has seen a LOT of different heroes realistically.

[mental cliff]

I rooted for shock as my underdog team and NYXL as my main team

[full lion]

everyone but symm

[mental cliff]

I like philly too

[pearl stratus]

I like watching Hydration randomly pull out Doomfist.

[jovial jewel]

seoul is my skin team

[sinful heron]

I would like to see some Ana, but I know she's SO bad vs dive

[jaunty tendon]

Seoul is my main andNYXL is my underdog

[pearl stratus]

She's actually just kind of bad.

Ana is one of the few heroes that I'd say actually needs something.

[jaunty tendon]

she needs a self heal

[jovial jewel]

mfw they're gonna ban all the shit 2cp maps :feelslifeman:

[full lion]

if only reddit agreed with you tenkei

[pearl stratus]

I don't think she needs much though.

Like her numbers feel fine.

She's just missing some utility tool thing.

[mental cliff]

She needs a wall climb

[jovial jewel]

like what, mobility?

[jaunty tendon]

oh shit

[sinful heron]

Some form of mobility would be really nice

[jovial jewel]

anti heal and sleep are pretty damn good

[sinful heron]

Especially since she's supposed to be a sniper

[jaunty tendon]

For real

[slim summit]

ana is good tho

[full lion]

but guys what button would ana's new ability be bound to

[mental cliff]

Space

[jovial jewel]

i think the issue with ana is that her self sustain and mobility are just so damn ass compared to some of the other healers

[jaunty tendon]

Make it a secondary weapon

[slim summit]

ana got pushed out of meta by dive and now by moira being just better than her

[full lion]

and its a huge

[jovial jewel]

i made a joke about giving ana a cool grandma skateboard

now i actually want a skateboard for ana

[full lion]

hoverboard*

[jovial jewel]

jet set radio hero

wait

thats lucio

[pearl stratus]

I like my idea, I'm sticking with it.

Single sip of nanoboost.

[sinful heron]

Spray can weapon

[pearl stratus]

Let her run fast for 2-3 seconds.

[jovial jewel]

i swear dude it's been oasis for 3rd map every damn time

i'm getting so tired of this

[sinful heron]

That's actually a really cool idea

Run fast, jump higher?

[full lion]

so would that eat some of her ult charge @pearl stratus

[sinful heron]

I think for someone who's a sniper she has a REALLY hard time getting to high ground

[pearl stratus]

@full lion I actually considered that it'd be interesting that she could upkeep it at the expense of ult charge.

But I don't think Blizzard could implement it well.

[full lion]

u right

[slim summit]

but if you give ana wall climb

[sinful heron]

I kind of want someone who's ult wouldn't be a "PRESS Q USE 100%" kind of thing, something about an ult charge being more of a stockpile would be interesting

[pearl stratus]

Also I think giving Ryuhejong a charged Ana would be just disaster for everyone else.

[slim summit]

it opens up the new bullshit hanzo strat

[pearl stratus]

He'd start soloing teams.

[slim summit]

where you just chill behind walls and wall run up and do your shit and go back down

[full lion]

blizzard shoulda known they fucked up when ana's debut trailer showed her ontop of a pillar on anubis but there's no way to actually do that in game

[sinful heron]

^

[jovial jewel]

shit

[pearl stratus]

My other thought that could be cool.

[jovial jewel]

ur gith

right*

[pearl stratus]

We be something like Sombra's recall.

But Ana shoots it with her gun.

And you have a few seconds to teleport to your shot target.

[full lion]

that sounds pogchamp as fuck

[sinful heron]

I really like the idea of multiple heroes having the same or similar abilites

[pearl stratus]

So scope a friendly target and translocate.

[sinful heron]

Like Genji and Hanzo's wall climb

It makes for really fun interactions and counters

[pearl stratus]

You'd have to give it like a 20-30 second cooldown though.

Or let her place a jump pad.

Tech Grandma.

[jovial jewel]

idk giving heroes similar abilities like wall climb would be bad

[full lion]

jeff hire tenkie

[slim summit]

ana is fine

[sinful heron]

I also think stealth should be more of a thing other than just invincible-ness

[jovial jewel]

like nobody in OW is going to have another double jump except for genji because that's his thing

[pearl stratus]

Eh Stealth is too hard to balance.

They're smart to stay away from it.

[full lion]

holy shit was that a black guy on boston

[jovial jewel]

[pearl stratus]

^racist

[full lion]

LOL

[jovial jewel]

shoot uh

[full lion]

lmao

[pearl stratus]

Way to go H&MSoup.

[snow canopy]

[jovial jewel]

[sinful heron]

You cheeky monkey

[full lion]

i didn't know there were any black players in owl thats pretty cool

[pearl stratus]

If you're thinking of Kazper I think he's actually spanish

[jovial jewel]

[full lion]

i think it said snow

[pearl stratus]

Oh yeah.,

he's ethiopian

But iirc he's been in the US since he was like 3.

So he's american 😛

[full lion]

thats cool

[sinful heron]

NICE MERCY

[jovial jewel]

TRAFFIC BOYZ

[pearl stratus]

WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE DIE TO CARS.

Jake, Taimou, Dhak.

Stop it.

[full lion]

they move fast yo

[frozen moat]

Pro Mercy btw

[sinful heron]

Maybe don't go near the cars

[pearl stratus]

Jakes was the best, because they did a highlight reel for the car.

[full lion]

wasn't taimous car death a reset tho

[pearl stratus]

One of.

[azure harbor]

[pearl stratus]

The other one he tried to jump hook someone into traffic.

[full lion]

kek

[pearl stratus]

Missed the hook.

And got hit by a car.

[sinful heron]

So he got conc'd and then his toe was tickled by a passing car and ded

[marsh pumice]

sleepy was sleepy

[full lion]

i guess that's part of the fun of oassis

[jovial jewel]

inb4 oasis city has its only stats be car deaths

[full lion]

💀 🚙

[sinful heron]

Always stick the tank

[jovial jewel]

danteh on tracer BTW

haHAA

[pearl stratus]

That barrier

[forest raven]

https://clips.twitch.tv/EmpathicTentativeFishOhMyDog

[sinful heron]

That was a nice matrix to keep Pharah alive

[pearl cedar]

whatt

[full lion]

[pearl cedar]

dhak not on mercy

turns out it works

who woulda thought?

[sand geode]

w

[jovial jewel]

CAR STATS

4 lives claimed due to cars

[sinful heron]

What a mine

[jovial jewel]

@upper patrol FUCKING LUL

[sinful heron]

I wish there was a little indicator in the killfeed when someone was killed with a headshot

[full lion]

there is

the arrow is colored

[sinful heron]

Oh

[jovial jewel]

DANTEH ACTUALLY KILLING SHIT

[sinful heron]

Well I suppose this is a good a time as any to share that I am colourblind

[jovial jewel]

[full lion]

RIP MR G

well the arrow should appear as a shade of grey?

[sinful heron]

It's why I wish they'd use white borders for one team and black borders for the other

[full lion]

idk how colorblindness works

[jovial jewel]

you just can't see a certain color?

i dunno if it would be like grey or it just blends in with other colors

[sinful heron]

It's very difficult to put into terms, but suffice to say I don't exactly trust when I see something as a "different" colour that it is actually a different colour

Oh I see, I think I got it now, Babybay just killed Tracer with a headshot, I think I got it now

[full lion]

3 headshots just happened did the arrows look different to you?

yeah

[sinful heron]

Is it a specific colour or are they coloured per team

[jovial jewel]

GR GR

👏

[full lion]

SF's are orange

[pearl cedar]

damn

[full lion]

boston's are blue

[sinful heron]

Ok so it's per team, sweet ty I'll figure it out

[full lion]

in the regular game theyre just red

[sinful heron]

Yeah I figured

Ty!

[jovial jewel]

inb4 2-2

[full lion]

np bruh

SF is doing it

[sinful heron]

That was a tasty last round

[full lion]

ye

[sinful heron]

[slate wraith]

happens to me a lot lol

[azure shale]

hello

[full lion]

fan the hammer is for scrubs

[sleek lagoon]

which team has the korean advantage

[pearl stratus]

Then what does that make the tracer that dies to it?

[sleek lagoon]

how much each

[pearl stratus]

This match is interesting because even if SF wins, Boston outscores them

[jovial jewel]

an unlucky tracer

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sleek lagoon]

there's gotta be some sorta formula to math out the advantage the amount of Koreans a team has

[pearl stratus]

So if they tie at the end, Boston wins because of round 1

The Korea meme is old.

[sleek lagoon]

stereotypes are based off a grain of truth

[jovial jewel]

i don't think they're a formula for communication and teamwork

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sinful heron]

Often outdated truths

[pearl stratus]

Racist people are racist.

Go figure.

[sleek lagoon]

and yet truths

[pearl stratus]

You must play a Grand Wizard in all your RPG's. 😄

[sinful heron]

LOL

[sleek lagoon]

when it stops being the best race- I mean class 😎

[forest raven]

Alright I'm gonna stop this conversation right here

[sinful heron]

I HATE dying at that range to Tracer

[sleek lagoon]

hahahha

[pearl stratus]

The Korean thing is a non-issue, its just communication.

It's 2 year old vs 2 month old teams.

[slate wraith]

that's a good explanation

hopefully after a few seasons the teams will equalize a little bit

[pearl stratus]

In the long term the Korean teams could actually be at a disadvantage.

[sleek lagoon]

it's objectively true that most of these players are Koreans

[pearl stratus]

Because they're so used to what they do and play with each other.

It screws up innovation.

[balmy wolf]

i want Boston to win so we get a 5th map

[pearl stratus]

Kazper on Genji has been good at shutting down Babybye.

Which means Shock hits a wall

[balmy wolf]

kinda curious to see how they play after the nerf

[pearl stratus]

They also may not get the nerf for a long time.

We don't know.

[sleek lagoon]

monkey ult does piss damage

christ

[sinful heron]

I always thought Winston's ult would be cool if it did AoE damage around him while he was using like, like his Coil was overloaded or something idk

[pearl stratus]

Neko with that range.

Jesus.

[jovial jewel]

BIGGEST CHOKE FROM WIDOW

[pearl stratus]

Neko mvp.

[balmy wolf]

5th map. lets go

[jovial jewel]

2-2 FELLAS

[pearl stratus]

That wasn't a choke, he shut down the dragonblade lol

[sinful heron]

Literally Neko MVP

[pearl stratus]

He just wasn't expecting balls to his face.

[jovial jewel]

nah twitch chat was saying choke

Twitch Chat: "BRONZE WIDOW"

[pearl stratus]

I think Winston's ult is just right imo.

[jovial jewel]

[slate wraith]

PotG Tree

[pearl stratus]

It's a great zoning ult.

[jovial jewel]

winston is fine as he is tbh

[rare tangle]

twitch chat: this team is sheer obesity

[pearl stratus]

If it did more damage it'd be obscene.

[woeful wolf]

close game

[sinful heron]

It is great, and my idea would be SUPER imbalanced, I just thought it'd be a cool idea

[rustic perch]

like 50 damage per second?

[woeful wolf]

but they are making SOOO MANY MISTAKES

100 dmg per second for winston at least

[forest raven]

IIRC primal rage winston does 45 damage per hit

[pearl stratus]

Well Shocks biggest issue is they literally have one player.

[woeful wolf]

lul

[pearl stratus]

It's Babybay versus Boston.

[woeful wolf]

danteh did really well

[pearl stratus]

It reminds me of Fletas old team.

[woeful wolf]

but it was never on camera

[pearl stratus]

Danteh is so hit or miss.

He has no consistency.

Babybay is insane.

[thorn forum]

i like em both

[pearl stratus]

But you can't have one player teams.

[sinful heron]

How is Widow on this map?

Three Dallas fans were bemoaning the sorry state of their beloved League team.

“I blame the general manager,” said the first fan. “If the players he signed had chemistry, maybe we'd be better.”

“I blame the players,” said the second fan. “If they made more of an effort, maybe we'd actually win a map.”

“I blame my parents,” said the third. “If I’d been born in Houston, I’d be supporting a decent team.”

[pearl stratus]

For S2.

Which they already said they're doing.

[pearl stratus]

The top players in china are actually really good too.

[jovial jewel]

DALLAS FUEL BTW

[thorn forum]

man she really does look like tracer

[jovial jewel]

yeah its just that shanghai is a new as hell team

and their management is subpar

[pearl stratus]

They're not a new as hell team.

[jovial jewel]

weren't they?

[pearl stratus]

They're a low ranked team that got brought in with a really bad coach.

MG/Undead/Altering were all on a team.

[jovial jewel]

i must be thinking of something else

[pearl stratus]

They were just a bad team lol

[restive spear]

was this the best match of the entire league guys?

[pearl stratus]

No

[carmine pumice]

jeff lol

[pearl stratus]

LAV vs. London was a lot better.

[sinful heron]

Yeah that's what always confused me Tenkei, I thought that Chinese teams were supposed to be like top top tier, and then Shanghai comes in and just do not deliver

I have to ask why

[balmy wolf]

Lav vs london was faster

[pearl stratus]

Nepotism.

They didn't take it seriously from the start.

[full lion]

glad vs fusion was pretty

[pearl stratus]

And it screwed them.

[forest raven]

Glads vs Fusion was the full reverse sweep

[full lion]

yeah

[pearl stratus]

When they redo their roster and remove their coach I think they'll do a lot better.

[full lion]

that was sick

[thorn forum]

it was my fave

[sinful heron]

Ok I have no idea what "reverse sweep" means

Can someone explain

[pearl stratus]

Started off winning.

Then failed the last half.

[thorn forum]

but this one was nice too, the last 3 maps i saw

[pearl cedar]

up until you lose the series, you're winning.

thats a reverse sweep

[thorn forum]

but glad fusion match was AMAZING

[sinful heron]

So like, 2-0 to lose 3-2?

[forest raven]

Yeah

[sinful heron]

Got it, ty

[pearl stratus]

Also the new Hanzo skin is ugly af.

Lucio looks cool though

[thorn forum]

i like it

i like the hanzo one

[balmy wolf]

@pearl stratus it looks cool and deadly

[sinful heron]

I feel like I have to main hog with the new skin

[balmy wolf]

Fusion was 2 Glads was 0 then it ended with Fusion 2 Glads 3. Reverse sweep

[pearl stratus]

Its on their twitter

[balmy wolf]

I dont wanna mess with that hanzo

GOOOOOOD game

[sinful heron]

Oh no, Rein, I'm maining Rein with the new skin. That's majestic.

[full lion]

kabuki hanzo looks pretty cool to me

[thorn forum]

lmao that jeff kaplain cutout

[pearl stratus]

he has so many preexisting better skins though.

[sinful heron]

Rein?

[pearl stratus]

Like his new winter one is so good.

[balmy wolf]

What is that guy looking at

He spotted something suspicious

[full lion]

hanzo's winter skin is his only good one

[balmy wolf]

Biggoose is on the

[pearl stratus]

His wolf one is good too, and his cyborg one.

[balmy wolf]

[coarse stream]

Thinking about it all this stuff about xQc has gotta be hella good for his stream right?

[pearl stratus]

Probably not, honestly.

[sleek lagoon]

watching xgc's stream now

is this guy on cocaine or something

[tacit agate]

why're you watching him?

also he's probably just pissed and aggravated

that has the same effect as cocaine

[prisma quest]

Yo, xQc just got banned, im crying XD

[tacit agate]

from comp?

what for

the owl?

[sleek lagoon]

I wanna see what the hub-ub is about

[tacit agate]

i think it's just hubbub

[sleek lagoon]

I wanna know what he said, specifically

[prisma quest]

no from the league, he made some homosexual comments about moomoo

[tacit agate]

oh

that's old news

[prisma quest]

well i just found out, and im crying from laughter. ive always hated him

[sleek lagoon]

oh, I read the comment

yeah that's bad I guess

I've said worse

shrug

seems just like a lot of dumb shittalking

[prisma quest]

its the fact that he is in a proffesional league,he shouldnt be talking like that at all. He should know better

[sleek lagoon]

ya that's true

his stream behavior is childish

[prisma quest]

The Dallas team is getting him professional help, like mental help.

[sleek lagoon]

like I'm listening to him right now and he's flipping between calling people retards and responding to criticisms saying "I'm really sorry I'm better than that"

like what

why, is he ill

just seems like a pewdiepie type guy

[tacit agate]

he is

[prisma quest]

idk, that was the tweet dallas fire put out

fuel*

[pearl stratus]

He might nto be ill, but he's also not worth keeping around for the league.

He's a mediocre okay player that brings bad publicity.

There's no 'bad boy ' of esports.

Just an idiot who can't shut his mouth.

Also its really obvious his team plays better without him

[prisma quest]

i cant put photos in here so .-.

[pearl stratus]

I saw his you're benched for stage 1 thing

[prisma quest]

yeah

[tacit agate]

i mean

the issue was that it was highly unprofessional

but also that it was definitely targeted at muma's sexuality

[onyx shore]

i don't see his jab at muma is homophobic though

[tacit agate]

it's not an uncommon insult, but combine the insult with a "you'd prolly like it" and a shocked face that the thing actually came out of his mouth and you get where the whole "homophobia" thing comes from

it's not... strictly homophobic in the way that like, lynching people for being gay or castrating them for lying in the same bed as another man is

[onyx shore]

if you're a straight guy,and i tell you to "eat a pussy",is that straight-phobic?

[tacit agate]

but it's still targeted towards a sexuality that's often marignalized

[onyx shore]

but i agree this guy need PR staff

[tacit agate]

well, no

hmm

[onyx shore]

like take away his twitter account

[civic marsh]

how was his remark not homophobic lol

[tacit agate]

it's a double standard, i guess

[onyx shore]

it's trashtalk,pure and simple

[tacit agate]

it's not extremely homophobic but it did target muma's sexuality

[civic marsh]

it wasn't that he told him to suck a dick, he said "he'd probably enjoy it"

because he's gay

[onyx shore]

if he said "he'd probably enjoy it cause he's a fag"

that's homophobic

[deft valley]

wut

[onyx shore]

this one? nah

[deft valley]

words aren't what make it, intent and meaning is

[civic marsh]

^

[jagged crater]

one of the seoul coaches looks way older

[onyx shore]

in the end,i agree that his action is bad for his org

[jagged crater]

like in his 40s?

[civic marsh]

he directly used his sexuality as an insult, not acceptable

[tacit agate]

yeah

[onyx shore]

but not homophobic though

[civic marsh]

that's kind of what homophobia means generally

[onyx shore]

isn it the narrative,homophobic statement?

[civic marsh]

if you respected or had no ill will towards homosexuals then it wouldn't come out of your mouth as an insult

[tacit agate]

it's a different type of homophobia than what you're used to

but it still is

[onyx shore]

like i typed above,i'ts a trashtalk

[tacit agate]

like, segregation as a principle doesn't immediately sound racist; you had stuff for white people, then you had stuff for dark skinned people, then you had stuff for asians

the trouble though was that it was massively abused

[civic marsh]

there's a difference between banterous trash talk and calling out someones sexuality lmao

wtf

[tacit agate]

everyone else got lower standards, were treated worse if they were even treated nicely at all, etc.

[civic marsh]

muma's remark towards dallas was banter/trash talk

what xqc said was pathetic

[tacit agate]

yeah

[onyx shore]

if i told you to eat a pussy,is that straight-phobic?

[tacit agate]

smoked n rolled, doggies

[deft valley]

not the same thing

[onyx shore]

assuming you're straight

[tacit agate]

yeah

it's different

[civic marsh]

people aren't persecuted for being straight

[tacit agate]

^

if they were, then yeah it'd be an issue

[onyx shore]

so,we hold different standard for straight and gay now?

slow clap

[tacit agate]

we hold standards differently if it's persecutable or not

[deft valley]

what is this kafka shit honestly

you know what it's about

[tacit agate]

like

[civic marsh]

it's like how someone insulting me for being white i wouldn't give a fuck but it's different for other races

[tacit agate]

telling a woman to make a sandwich has negative connotations

but telling a man to make a sandwich doesn't

because men weren't subjugated into positions of submission like women were

[onyx shore]

wow,so it's okay to hold different standard?

[civic marsh]

what are you not understanding here

[tacit agate]

the standards are different because they've ALWAYS been different dude

[onyx shore]

what you basically said is

[tacit agate]

they shouldn't be, but until people aren't persecuted or subjugated

they will be

[onyx shore]

insulting straight --> ok

insulting gay --> nononono

[civic marsh]

no one said insulting someone for being straight was ok

it just has nowhere near the impact of insulting someone for being gay

[pearl stratus]

I mean either way.

We just want Dallas to do well.

So keeping xQc out of the game is good for that.

Because he's garbage.
