today's gonna be so much fun
too bad there's like 12 hours of matches
i won't be able to be drunk for all of them
i'd fall asleep
12 hours of OWL 😍
it's probably closer to like 10 hours
but yeah
the new standings page shows draws now
next to wins and losses
but do draws actually matter for anything?
12hrs ?
first match is at noon, last match is at 8
wait wehat?
because of title matches
for my local time: 12:00 pm, 2:00 pm, 4:00 pm, 6:00 pm, 8:00 pm
i expect the last one will start closer to 9:00 pm
I usually try to watch the midnight match on Saturdays
I miiiight set up an alarm for the finals idk
so it's the regular games plus the finals ?
4 AM freakin sucks... guess ill miss out on the finals
awesome
there's a good chance we'll see London lose to NYXL twice today
let's hope we europeans will be up so long 😄

I love living on the east coast because OWL starts later in the evening for me so I don't have to worry about missing anything while in school
We can keep each other awake by endless nagging about Koreans in OWL /s
yeah, theres a bunch of matches tonight
🤔
having them play normal matches, then playoff matches for the grand finals and the grand finals right after is pretty fuckin dumb
that has to be taxing on the teams
Yee that's what I was sayin yesterday
I live in the Central Time
literally could have teams like london playing 3 games almost in a row
I can't watch the last game of if it starts at 10 pm since I go to sleep at 11
how are you even supposed to be on form if you played for 4 hours of tournament matches already
So I just watch it for like 30 mins or hour
The grand finals is at July so at least I don't have to worry about school stuff by then lol
Since it's summer
^
I can't wait to spend my days watching OWL in the summer when I should be working on college stuff or my summer job
I already watch OWL at work 👀

Oreo pls

Oreo pls
Anyone else feel super weird naming the OWL teams after cities when being from that place is not even remotely related to whether or not you end up on a team?
nah, it be like that
Why not just go with OW locations?
I'd totally root for the Route 66 Outlaws
I know it's a sports thing to name it after cities but this is one super diverse sport that makes it feel kinda strange
Plus it's not like they actually play in the location their city is named for, it's all out in Cali
that's why they do things like the hometown heroes jawn, where they recruit people from that specific city to potentially be on the team
I must have missed that segment 'cause most of the teams look like the Rudy's didn't make it
the plan is to eventually play in their respective cities
right now trying to get the infrastructure up for that is well, kind of hard
probably first 2 seasons are going to be in LA
after that it is going to be in respective cities
it seems difficult to play in your own cities logistically
like, how often are you going to fly players around the country?
are you going to have casters on site at each of the arenas being played at?
Probably once a week and they have a mini-tournament of sorts there with 4 teams or so
yeah, would definitely need to mitigate the expense somehow and a rotating venue makes sense given the format of these ones
LA always has "home court" but of the 6 teams only one of them gets it in each play location
Can you imagine how complicated this week would be for those players though if they had to be on different sites?
well, they probably going to either going the NFL route where one home game with home away game or they tour it like NBA/NHL
and casters can just cast from a studio
switching to different arenas throughout the day would be weird
I feel like it should be split by coast
i just wouldn't want for the players to have to fly like 3+ times per week
i guess if they're home at least one match per week then they'd just have another team flown in
but then again it would still be messy cause not all teams play games two days in a row
for a few hours & flown out
There's a reason why there's division in OWL so that it set up for these things in the future. They'd only have to fly like 2 times per week
that's what I'm thinking
London would probably do a tour of the East Coast before having a few weeks at home, for example
same thing with Seoul
etc etc
Who do u think will be the next hero
me
thighmou
thighmou, bewitches the enemy female heroes to join your team
i cant believe it's been that long already

will dragons ever win?
I really want to see geguri play
problem is, i don't know if the rest of the dragons will play at her level
same for philly & carpeburn
and phili is just... idek
Meet the Overwatch League League Ops team wooo
Half of them dont look happy in the pic lol
they're omnics, they just wear meatbag disguises to make the guests feel more comfortable
😮 I didn’t miss this match woo
agreed 

Knees weak
Arms are heavy 
Stream is up 🅱ois

easy for 

<<
Uprising colors remind me of Walmart
IKEA tbh
I honestly think fl will win
<< and Outlaws for the win
that being said 1-8 vs 5-4
no way florida will win against Philly
Facts don't care about your feelings
McDonald’s has the coolest walk though
meme fuel had solid performances against the top tier korean teams so far
They won in our hearts
sucked against weaker teams arguably, but looked a lot better than florida all throughout stage 1
Spitfire, outlaws, (Pls florida) fusion
Who did McDonald’s won againist?
dragons
LUL

Well mayhem got 0-4 againist Boston before they could of learned which I doubt it.
Finished my vat of popcorn at exactly the right time
A bit Over-Excited
So why are title matches the same day?
good question
-30
0-10 rip
Outlaws > uprising
Houston destroyed London
I don't know who to cheer
I like the London's outfit
🤔

Outlaws vs spitfire for title
Outlaws outplayed spitfire
SSBae ❤
Outlaws are the magicians of this league
Korea XL 
NYXL has the best tracer in the league!
@restive spear plus they have pine
LMAO

haha that intro
awwwwwww

STYLOSA IS THERE
salutes Your Majesty
Making brits feel at home ❤
ugh stylosa
+50k viewers
Lol
😂😂
Fucking poggers
whats that?
oo

ive never really followed ow league
but why are koreans in every team
monkaS
:D
@gloomy bramble Because you didn't follow the ow league
@gloomy bramble there is only two teams without Koreans or Chinese
import players? not even 1 guy from the actual country representative
look at any kind of popular videogame in korea, and you will see their players in the top of the competitive scene
That London intro
"SOMEONE SIGN HOOWOO"
I'd rather have the best players in the league than have token-nationality players
The Koreans did get defeated 2 times though
Yeah
More then 3 times*
c9 jack also didnt have any talent left he wanted for his team, so he rather went with the top tier players
Dragons with no win
I'd rather watch best from each state
Not anymore tbh, since the western teams had a good set-up to train they've been beating Koreans
"PLAY SYMMETRA YOU COWARDS"

if i watch owl i wanna see the best of the world, idgaf if theyre all korean
if theyre so good they deserve to be there
Libero can be my wingman anytime 
BRING WORLD CUP 2018 WITH NO KOREANS
Most People that cheer london aren't Koreans btw
They only needed a Cleveland team 
Man I still can't get used to the fact that the casters look straight into the camera
Its... odd
Nah it makes it easier to fap
I want to see not the best. I want to see mistakes and new unusual tactics. Watching Dynasty is boring.

then watch world cup LUL
@gloomy bramble http://liquipedia.net/overwatch/Overwatch_League/Season_1 This has the country representations. 45 south koreans, 17 United States, 10 Sweden, etc
And Chinese?
<<<<
👏 NYXL 👏
@restive spear NYXL Has Koreans...
Yeah?
Dominant force in the world? You know who's also a dominant force in the world?

I'm rooting for unexpected windows update
Thats right, TMOBILE.
rofl
!tokens
At least not AT&T
!TMobileMVP XQC
!tmobilemvp fl0w3r
AT&T needs to die in a hellish eternal fire
"Soon is the best Tracer in the league" AHEM
Hope London wins for the sake of competition, if NYXL wins then the finals are pointless cuz they'll win
semmler and hex again 😠
McCree
Watch SBB completely shut down Soon
I want to see someone get DQd
Rrrrr ya ready kids?
THROW THOSE MIDDLE FINGERS LIKE REAL NEW YORKIANS!

yessssss
Pharah
Sbb etf

<< is out of this world.
Wtf*
profit??
i+IHH
contesting monkaS
Huh London contesting?
Let's go SBB! 
OMG they got it
POGGERS
Wait
wow
WHAT
WAIT WHAT


GET FUCKED
profit started that fight with a 2 man riptire and now almost has pulse bomb on tracer lol
wp london
London probably won this
WOOOOO

man i think mano could have bodyblocked the zen there to get the full point
when he came in with trance
SBB 

Rooting for NYXL

Blizzard loves blue a bit too much
Will london do it again?
pharah has like 30 blue skins

half the owl teams have blue in their main colors
FINALLY
Nus’ ult was clutch, he got it so fast.
C9 
Great hold by London though
NYXL away color looks so good
This is already fantastic
I really enjoy NYXL away color
They should have had that 100%. They had more support ults. @magic zinc they fucked up
OH wow
I like the color
It was a great pressure from NY. They forced London off.
it's just so much blue and white across the entire league
And Black and Orange
True, but in general its a hella nice hold
Oh lordie this woman yelling everytime is going to get annoying in an hour or 2
Let Her Scream
it wouldn't be a large esports event without someone excessively loud sitting near a mic

NYXL 
Those are called the Commentators @errant kayak
Tbh not toooo impressed by them yet
Looks like new york will get the point
🔫
gg ez 😦
Too UnLucky
Oof NYXL has no ults
And they only have 1 push
Meanwhile London has Valk
Can't see them cap this
"The strategy is hoping for a C9 lmaooo"
LOL hoping the other team C9s isn't a strategy
OVERTIME
Why is he explaining what a C9 is 
i love how c9 is an official term now
WINNABLE

Wow
Its for those of us who don't follow stupid esports memes
I had no clue what a c9 was
Did they reduce the normal timer? that felt way too fast

c9 isn't a stupid esport meme
It was just quick
Ana?
Ana :(
woah we're blessed
C9 is in the dictionary 
referring to it as a c9 is what makes it a meme

stage 2 will be moira
Libero is ruining his kd
wtf is libero doin
ATTACK THE OBJECTIVE
stage 2 will be Sym? You guys nuts. lol "Moira" .. right.
Moira+quad tank is the new meta
ATAC
Sym + 5 back up
here we go
Hmm its not as dominant as it could be though which is really nice
If high ground is important it’s back to dive
Moira is so good w tanks
On defense with ana it’s insane
Wow
Ohhh seeya Ark!
GOTEM
pogchamp





Welp thats a quick cap

POGGERS
London has Valk too, Ark is nowhere close
That gives London way more time
so what does NYXL need to win to keep first seed?
1 map afaik
oh so they only need 1 map? thats not horrible
WHAT
Spitfire need two to take top seed?
FISTED
wow that was nuts
EXCUSE ME

wtf
i will admit
classic birdring 
HEY BIRDRING STOP THAT
ROCK HARD DUDE
bird 👌
i spent all of stage 1 asking "why the heck is london using mccree? it isn't working"
NO STOP THIS
and now it's finally paying off
Still being contested though rip didnt raelly do much
lol
I'm a Main McCree
Ikr
So I'll cheer for Spitfire lol



i think they said one of the best tracers for soon
Nyxl throwing cause they want london in to qualify
Ah
lmao rigged @spring lintel
isn't london in the top 3 no matter what even if they go 0 4?
nope
ARK 

It will be a normal match like any other OWL match right?

I think they turned off discord and they are playing without coms for the first map
they need 1 map or they're out iirc



COME ON
london can be out
NYXL is guaranteed play-offs pretty sure, London isnt
depending on other games aswell
really? I thought they were a good amount ahead of 3rd / 4th
nah
this game is hype
i feel like spitfires gonna win this
anyone have a link with the "All games" break down?
They definitely should, they have 3 mins to get this
Nyxl are throwing wtf
win-draw-loss, not just the standings from website
Liquidpedia might have them, idk
🤔
Nah
They are ignoring the mccree wtf
Yes there is
No drawing
HAHAHA

I guess 2CP can draw
LETS GO
there was*
Nice
NYXL 



Now nyxl are gonna win all of it since london qualified
stylosa in the crowd lmao
He looks so happy lol
EZ 👏
@spring lintel Not really
at least Dynasty is out
That hold on first point for spitfire was insane tho
B)
They could lose
I hope Houston makes it in over LAV
Thats a weird way to spell Boston @fiery reef 👀
i hope boston wins and makes it in tbh
The worst thing when 3-0 Happens
Boston can get dumpstered for all I care
just for everyone shittalking them before
@solar trout yeah for real. profit started the hold off with a 2 kill riptire, changed to tracer then built pulse bomb up so fast lol
wait dynasty is out?
yeah lol
Hopefully it will be 2-2 For a Tie Breaker
Dynasty has been playing like shit
Boston can't make it now
wtf you guys said they where gods
Boston can make it in
They are trash cans
i hope houston gets in so i can chant USA USA USA
They're missing Esca :(
@slim summit how?
Nyxl is the best team
yeee haaa
Dynasty went from unbeatable to "Shanghai could probably beat us"
so they turn into fuel
Boston is in if they win 3-1 or better
@magic zinc Were you talking about Soe that was yelling? Lol
then yt's NYXL, London, Boston over Valiant
^
Outlaws is gonna beat Uprising
@brisk roost Nah through the first round there was some crowd cheering but 1 woman was like wayyyy louder lol, dont think it was Soe
Like. I hate Texas with a fiery passion. But I like Outlaws
Yeah fuck boston
The only reason to watch boston is linkzr
Outlaws are just so likeable
Yeah no way it was Soe tbh
isn't huuston all english speckers?
Reminds me of those korean chicks in the world cup 
She never gets annoying lol
linkzr is on houston lol
lol
Houston has probably become my 2nd favorite team BUT
pls no clockwork
I might start liking Houston if they #FreeMendo 🕯
I want Boston to win because that's such a huge ascention
outlaws seems like the most unlikeable lineup to me in the league so far
but i guess everyone has their preferances
clockwork sux
dreamkazper
dreamkazpr?
Yeah
from being ranked nearly last to being in the title matches
Yeah
plus I've been following their coach in esports for many many years
Only reason why Outlaws lost was Clockwork was there rather than Linkzr
Houston needs to make it in so they can dumpster LSF again
linkzr > clockwork
flame? @slim summit
Profit lol
did 2 matches get cancelled?
Linkzr is the best widoe stat wise
huk
oh boston
ya
Followed by fleta i think
flame isnt the coach either is he?
why did they get cancelled huh
NYXL > Outlaws > Spitfire
Linkzr in general has some nutty winrate right?
Stfu Spitfire
hes the GM
Like 65%
You already got your ass handed by Outlaws lol
boo boston
LOL seoul
that segment was obviously filmed a few weeks ago LUL
Poor Jehong 
I want pine to play insanely, hopefully he is hyped cause it’s playoffs
This first match is meh cause nyxl doesnt care
Semmler is alpha AF
WHy do they never mention the best advantage of being 1st seed.... you are 100% getting reward money.
Beard game is on point and has sweet specs
1, 2, and 3rd all get prize moneys
Nyxl saving their stamina and giving the win to london, understandable.
1st just gets the most
having to play NYXL twice in one day 
Birding Is widowmaker
ATTACK TORB?
what does 3rd get?
surprisingly widow is super fun to watch, like fleta yesterday
3rd gets a pat on the back
hm
4th Gets a slap on their face
3rd gets nothing
I'm wrong, you're right
4th is very likely going to be Valiant 😄
Last gets a slap on the ass
wait
I want houston to go up against Spitfire and win
ye
you should have to beat at least one team to get money
but i guess that'd be only top 3
1st $1mil, 2nd 400k, 3rd and 4th 100k, 5th and 6th 50k
They need a widow
You know whats sad. If the Shangai increased their win rate by 100 fold, they still wouldn't make the playoffs
Whats happening NYXL :(
They are throwing for korea pride


New york seems to be losing
BM tire?
wtf
They aren't @spring lintel
WHAT WAS THAT PROFIT?!
It's impossible for them to throw 2 times..
scripted
NYXL spent their time practicing against the real final boss today. Houston.
This match doesnt matter to nyxl
It does
They are saving stamina
If they dont win they get second seed
Which means another game
...that costs stamina
Oh well
It is possible that they are weak and are losing
profit throwing
LMAO
HOW DID HE NOT GET ARK?

WHAT A CHOKE
?????????????
hidden ARK
WADDA JOKE
That legit cost them the point
smh
Profit is no Jake that's for sure
this is the worst pro Junkrat ive ever seen. How do you fuck up two tires that bad.
wtf is profit doing in this game






J
K E
PROF 🖕 T
lmao
Jakerat isnt even top imo
what a fucking choke
Seagull
LSF needs a jakerat
that's the biggest throw i've seen so far in owl
that was soooo goddamn winnable
Weak-FIT
profit deserves to be executed
LUL PROFIT IS THROWING
jake is ganna flop hard come stage 2
Idk man did you see Dakh's Mercy?
WHAT ARE THOSE TRYES
That was kinda bad
TYRES*
Seagull > any other Junkrat in the league, fuck Jake hes a gayboy.
Can yo ureally throw a game you were never going to win 
he can only play junk and and he will be hit hard by the nerf
whats the score?
0 - 1 london
my ladder teams do that all the time
Any pro in OWL > seagull
Stats why no one even comes close to Jake on rat
Nothing against seagull
But Jake is magic with it
any pro in OWL > Seagull >literally anything @spring lintel will ever accomplish in life.
London dominated Eichenwalde tbh, they would've full held Anubis too but Profit missded his tire on a stationary Mercy @idle beacon
Was Profit the one that middle fingered in a match?
Doesn’t matter, I am not doing this for living.
Oh
And I am not sure what does this have to do with owl
Damn Jjonak just got outskilled there 
SBB pulse bomb kills: -1
Why is Birding tracer?
????
because hes an insane tracer ??

QusetionMarks
who are casting these games?? lo
rigged match



but Ttours are really bad
great TTours spectating today again
like damn
So NYE IS throwing?
I think they just don't care at this point
This is rigged i am not watching this
Why though?
both them got into playoff
Guys hear me out right
?
How is a tie decided for First seed if both Overwall wins and game wins are tied? Do they look at which team has more draws and less losses?
The other teams are easy to them
Maybe..
No matter what happens, the actual final will be london vs nyxl
LSF>NYXL>Houston>LSF
Since I don't se ehim rn
Yep
Maybe some teams are stronger then london but weaker then other teams
The London Spitfire gave all of NYXL some chocolate shakes before the match. What if laxitives?
Pine usually only comes out at control, he plays more maps against 'weaker' teams
That's how Boston and LA Did it
@spring lintel if London has to play the 2/3 matchup, they'll lose to Houston
if London is better how did USA become independent? Checkmate
Not really
laxitives would explain why everyone's shitting the bed
Shit you got me lmao
Because it Did! CheckMate!
Ah there we go
@azure harbor you can thank the French for that
the must have acidentally given one to profit

"Widow pls switch"
They are just fucking them individually
Ohhh how did he hit that headshot
gulp
OWL is just a big korean conspiracy anyway. It's all scripted
who is this caster
Semmler & Hex are casters
If this game was scripted I'd be 10x more impressed
gotemmmm
profit 1000iq
How did he one shot him
I mean, sooner or latter we will have OWL scandal about throwing for money or something
Profit
Dmg boost?
Wow bruh
Profit was Throwing
Profit now Carrying
Profit just literally one shotted
this was like the best time to have people throw for money
because there's several teams that could have knocked other teams out of contention
but couldn't win themselves
That shot, shouldnt have one shotted the mercy
I'm not talking about this game
just that it will happen
like in any other sport/game
not a fan of semmler lol
mercy probably got hit by someone else aswell
Tbh I think London is just better then NYXL
This match ofc you would think that
It sure as hell looks like it atm
bdosin with the revenge
New York Extra Large
Nyxl seem to be focusin now
Isn't it NYE?
how does meko get out of there
did he just switch from a full ulti ready mcree to widow?
High Noon isnt great at enclosed points like this
PROFIT WHY DID YOU CHANGE
Mccree’s ult is useless on most maps
snipe tire
You would waste time that way
UHH
oh no
NYXL has all ults though
Nyxl should win
London does have support ults so there's that
NYXL Might not win?
They win
They might not
They should win considering spawn advantage and what not
Oh well they did I guess
OH JESUS LIBERO
fuck.
Yeah that'll do it

experience defeat!
Now literally nothing matters
stupid


















all because of that failed tyre
That was depressing
3rd person spectating point when the fight is happening in the side room
hahaha
LET'S GO NYXL
that riptire
Told you that they're not throwing..
Yeah
Ez game nyxl
NYXL GO GO GO
Blame it on Profit tbh
Ez as fuck
gg ez
wait london can still get #1=
I wanna rewatch profits play on mercy
i thought desk earlier said that NYXL only needs 1 map win
I read a great thread on constructive critism on the spectating today, but appearently the guy that does the calls on who to spectate literally put his twitter on private
So I dont think he wants to hear any of it
Owl production is so bad they don’t know profit carried that fight and didnt clip it
they need someone with an attitude like goldenboy.. dude sucked ass as a caster, people complained, he asked for legit feedback, got the feedback and improved tremendously
alchemister is an idiot and responded to observing criticisms saying he cared more about the story they're telling
I also dont really like that the casters are like
lmao Shanghai 0-9 dont wanna lose to those guys
I mean thats fair but thats not exactly their job lol
makes for some
when dragons are winning
they are there to cast the game and create a hype atmosphere, i think some trash talk has to be included for that
Fair enough
Oh yeah, that’s pretty good from the casters imo
and if you get dumpstered by every team in the league you gotta improve rather than wine about your feelings because casters saying the truth
It's already past high noon lel 😉
All they do is wine, they should try beer.
now imagine if profit didn't throw 1st point
I like effect’s wine better, he blames his team.
Maybe a dumb question but do the stage playoffs matter at the end of the season? Or do they just count as regular W and Ls
effect and i have very similar problems
NYXL
damn
Lmao I see Pine setting up
that map was so fucking winnable
LETS GOOO
if profit didn't choke tire twice
nyxl looked like they were playing with them
nyxl would have been full held if it weren't for profit
the last 2 profit tires were shut down by Sbb on widow quite hard
what did profit do
profit used tire and immediately blew it up right next to himself with no enemies around
NA tire
and then profit used tire, went into a room to hunt mercy, didn't see her initially so turned around, spotted her in the other corner, then blew up .... but he blew up in the doorway
so mercy lived
then mercy valk'd and nyxl took the point
Lol
Profit literally cost his team to lose
put it on her damn face
i mean profit still won the fight after the first tire he fatfingered
so that wasnt really game changing
him missing ark tho 
Bruh
I rewatched profit’s play and ark threw that
C'mon now
damn profit deleted him
He went right in front of profit
triple dink dash ?
And basically shifted inside profit
Which allowed profit to get 3 shurikens and a dash that were also damage boosted
I'm hoping NY wins
40195
play symmetra you cowards
Mercy’s shift speed is so fast and it’s so hard to see without pausing and seeing wtf is going on
wait whats the score?
1-1
1-1
👏

Yeah I really like that thread
Oh wait they commented?
Generic we are looking into it comment
Observer summit sounds promising
how do I see this clip after? I wanna copy all his settings
better than no comment and alchemister being a cunt on twitter
100% scaling, 800 dpi, 5.5 in game sense
They might post that clip on Youtube later
I copied sdb’s settings then I got my own from there
pick 1 that works for u
i dont play in pc so idk what are these dpi settings and stuff
how fast ur mouse moves
I wonder what Mouse and Keyboards are they using
Profit’s pc can get ultra and 200% scaling but he is not using it
Many pros have their own keyboard and mouse.
As they tend to have found something they like and they keep it.
we're talking about his dpi and sens
So ppl can copy pro’s settings for best fps
They all bring their own keyboards and mice on stage
Dpi and sens are all the same on most mices
Well not exactly their own
And can be transferred
A copy of their own so they cant mingle wiht it
ingame sens...
The sens is the same, but the feeling, weight and grip is different.
It’s just preference, nothing matters. From this.
score so far? (i aint watchin ..)
And Jack wondered about the mice and keyboard they are using, so I responded to that.
1-1
One to 4
You can copy their settings and play with it and get used to it
who's 'winning' on the map?
Tie
I hope to god pine gets dicked on to shut those girls up
Let's goooooo Pine!
damn this arena is just so beautiful
Nyxl stomped on anubis and london stomped on eichenwalde
Oh shit, it's Pine
i wanna visit

Ilios

BIG BOSS PINE
This ship is nice
It's Ilios. Pine is still undefeated on it.
wait pine and SBB in?
Birdring vs pine OMEGALUL
libero out? 
@finite cedar Not really though
Yeah
Birding VS Pine
You need tracer on these maps, so you choose between tracer or phara
NYC Got none
@young sonnet I hope to god pine gets dicked on to shut those girls up
translate please .. i fuckin do not understand that
He did that

He dicked shut thosd girls up
PINE MAN
Yep. Profit showed himself.
-Translation:
-I hope that pine gets defeated
ez clap Pine
I, for one, hope pine the new york player, gets demolished. To in turn force the women in front, that are screaming, to be quiet @idle beacon
Clear enough? 
died with trans
Oh please... This doesn't make sense...
shit

Wtf was that visor
And then SBB cleaned up.
$R.I.P London
