#

I'm glad to see a lot more comingled teams, also. Even Florida picking up some koreans makes me happy and I hate Florida Memes.

vestal mortar
#

Rascal on fuel πŸ€” still will find it hard to cheer for them

blazing parrot
#

im happy for effect rascal duo effBless

magic zinc
#

Its okay Tara you can just jump ship again zaryalol

pearl stratus
#

I mean I'm happy for him because he wanted to play more.

magic zinc
#

I'm worried for Seagull's playtime now tbh

pearl stratus
#

I'll never fault someone for being eager to play.

magic zinc
#

No reason for him to play really

pearl stratus
#

It's why I think Geguri decided to sign for Shanghai.

blazing parrot
#

rumors are Seagull is going to be coach

pearl stratus
#

Rather than someone elses bench/university team.

knotty field
#

I think fuels biggest issue is tanks tbh, they need a good fissure or someone of the sort.

pearl stratus
#

She wanted to play.

#

Fuel kind of has the same issues that Seoul has, tbh.

#

They both have a support structure that is full of garbage mercies.

#

And if your supports aren't in a good spot.

#

Nothing else falls into place.

magic zinc
#

Trade Effect for Miro πŸ‘€

vestal mortar
#

I never jumped ship. I always said Seoul and Houston were my top 2 :C

pearl stratus
#

Effect wouldn't get to play on Seoul lol

#

Who would you sit for him? Fleta?

magic zinc
#

He would, duo with Fleta

knotty field
#

I’m really excited for stage 2 tbh... should really show where teams are at

pearl stratus
#

Munchkin and Bunny are both good combinations with fleta for a reason though.

#

Bunny didn't get much stage time, but his Tracer is really good.

#

It's not an SBB Tracer.

#

But its really really good.

magic zinc
#

I'd put them on the bench for Effect tbh, but I see what you mean

#

There's something to be said for synergy too

knotty field
#

I have played with Bunny in comp. he’s a fucking monster

pearl stratus
#

I also think Ryuhejong might be prepping to go into a coaching role.

#

Since Seoul was rumored to pick up another support.

magic zinc
#

The rumor was anoter second support right?

#

iirc

pearl stratus
#

I believe the person in question is primarily an Ana/Zen.

#

Whereas Tobi is more the Lucio/Moira.

magic zinc
#

Welp I read that wrong then NotLikeSoldier

pearl stratus
#

The one for NYXL was a secondary support.

#

But I could also have it reversed in my head.

#

But, I won't lie, I'm most excited to see the new people on Shanghai.

#

Even though we have to wait foooooooooooorever.

magic zinc
#

Yeah, I wonder if they'll even play in Stage 2

pearl stratus
#

Depends how much language work they do between now and arriving imo.

#

I don't think they'll need a long integration time to replace Freefeel and Mg.

#

Just because of how underperforming those two re.

magic zinc
#

Still, gotta build the synergy

#

Don't think that'll be done in 2 weeks tiem

#

time*

pearl stratus
#

Freefeel and Mg don't have synergy.

left fog
#

synergy and language barrier

pearl stratus
#

So you're not losing it by replacing them.

#

Freefeel is literally an ult charge for the other team lol

blazing parrot
#

Freefeel more like FreeUlt

pearl stratus
#

Also the replacement for Freefeel is Chinese.

#

So no language barrier there.

#

So I foresee Freefeel being replaced immediately.

#

Unless he REALLY improves during this break.

#

Sky is Zhufanjun from Miraculous Youngsters, so you already know he's good.

#

Also I'm excited if the rumors are true and Geguri can also D'va and Hog at a high level too now.

#

Because that'd be insane fun to watch.

magic zinc
#

I reaaaaaally hope she'll be on Zarya duty though Zarya is super fun to watch imo

left fog
#

geguri plays dva a lot on stream

#

seen a fair amount of people praising her dva

#

MG is just a full blown bot

#

3 gravs that were built fast? let me just get nobody in any of them

#

MG's peel for roshan is always delayed

#

people talk about how roshan just dies constantly

#

well his dva player is playing as if they're on 30 seconds behind real time

pearl stratus
#

In fairness on the Shanghai bad ults.

#

That ENTIRE map had bad ults

#

From both teams.

#

It was like a damn blooper reel.

#

But I agree, Mg is really bad.

#

Which confuses me.

#

Because they've run Roshan Yushu together before.

#

And it worked really well.

#

But then they always swap back to Mg.

limber pine
#

Tank play is the worst part of SHD

#

IMO

#

but i don't understand the ppl saying SHD doesn't need another tank

pearl stratus
#

I don't think anyone seriously has said that, and Shanghai agrees since they picked up TWO tanks.

#

I also think its shared equally between supports. Altering has gotten better at Mercy over Stage 1, but Freefeel is just... so bad.

grizzled mulch
#

@limber pine how much of it is Roshan sucking, or MG/Xushu sucking

limber pine
#

tough to say

pearl stratus
#

I think Roshan and Yushu are passable, not great.

#

But as Winston if your D'va is weak, you look really bad.

#

I don't think they have Fragi-esque aggressive issues.

limber pine
#

yeah I don't think their DVa play has been a strong point

#

but with 2-2-2, it's tough to pinpoint the issues

#

DPS don't kill, healers die too quick, Tanks too aggressive

#

DPS are definately not SHD's issue though

#

but calling Winston a main tank in this meta is humorous

#

IMO

#

@grizzled mulch I'd have to go back and review some of their matches, but my very noob-ish opinion is their issue is off-tank/DVa play.

pearl stratus
#

I'd say in this meta the combo of them makes the main tank. Like some messed up Voltron.

#

Two off tanks, that when working together, make a main tank.

#

If they don't work together, you just have two off tanks.

#

@grizzled mulch I'd also tack on that due to the weak nature of their supports their ult economy gets messed up often which leads them to not be able to properly counter things.

#

Freefeel will Transcend at a stiff breeze.

limber pine
#

lol true

#

although the supports in the last couple of matches were much better than early in the stage

pearl stratus
#

Their most successful matches, imo, is when they have Roshan and Yushu working together.

#

And leave Mg on the bench.

#

I also applaud Diya for taking on a Libero-esque role.

#

And flexing onto a LOT of things.

#

When he's really mainly just a tracer.

jagged crater
#

effect finally has a fellow korean on his team πŸ˜ƒ

pearl stratus
#

Watch Effect not come back.

jagged crater
#

effect + rascal sounds like a good dps duo but wonder how the comms will go

#

last i heard, rascal's still very new to english

pearl stratus
#

He is, but Effect can help him if he's around.

#

But Effect is gone for a while.

#

He went back to Korea.

jagged crater
#

yea, having effect help translate is good

pearl stratus
#

So he's not even practicing with the Fuel right now.

jagged crater
#

effect is back

pearl stratus
#

I expected him to be gone longer. I never get the impression he actually enjoys his team lol

jagged crater
#

only cuz fuel is losing

magic zinc
#

Effect came back today no?

jagged crater
#

effect doesnt take losing well for sure

#

he came back 2 days ago

pearl stratus
#

I don't think its even that. I think personality wise he clashes.

jagged crater
#

streamed yesterday

magic zinc
#

Oh heck nice

pearl stratus
#

I think its because he pushes himself so hard and strictly, and I think he kind of expects it from others to try and grow.

jagged crater
#

hopefully w/ rascal, the team mindset changes a bit

#

he's got a korean brother on the team to help improve with

pearl stratus
#

I'd like them to get a bit more not serious.

#

But like.

#

Focused?

#

And I'd like to honestly see the teams rewrite some streaming provisions into the contracts because it bleeds off badly into Taimou/xQc.

#

Because they both lack a bit of a filter when they're upset.

#

Taimou more self deprecating, xQc more outspoken.

jagged crater
#

xqc migh've been better off just streaming

pearl stratus
#

Though it was funny seeing that they can't even stream pictures of alcohol/drinking.

jagged crater
#

this pro thing is not easy for him to adjust to

pearl stratus
#

Like some legit sports rules up in the OWL.

#

He's been pro before, I think its more the spotlight thing.

jagged crater
#

pro at an OWL level where there's more rules to follow

#

before, he was a lil more free to do whatever

pearl stratus
#

His viewer audience is small compared to OWL pulling in millions, and he's young.

#

Young people and money and rules always leads to issue.

#

Regardless of the sport in question.

#

After reflecting over Stage 1 I think I know what xQcs biggest issue is though.

jagged crater
#

his personality makes it harder to adjust

pearl stratus
#

I think its his fans, to be completely honest.

jagged crater
#

his 10 year old fans?

pearl stratus
#

They're a toxic little group that either feeds his ego, or attempts to make him tilt on purpose because they want him to react.

#

And he should be mature enough to ignore them, since its internet people meaning they're not real.

#

But he isn't.

jagged crater
#

he's always been a big tilter

slim summit
#

rolled & smoked my doggie

jagged crater
#

before he streamed big

#

very loud and outspoken player

pearl stratus
#

I mean tilting at 15-16 years old is kind of.. yeah. Kids that young are basically useless.

#

But he should have outgrown a good chunk of it by 20.

jagged crater
#

before i even knew he streamed, I hated watching him in comp from other players pov

#

just a loud dude that talks shit

#

but now i unno, kinda grew on me

pearl stratus
#

I honestly only watch a few streams, since I: a.) think Twitch chat should be where we start for forced castration. and b.) Just don't care.

jagged crater
#

now he's just funny to watch

slim summit
#

i was watching Calvin's stream a few times and his facial expression when he was putting up with xQc πŸ‘Œ

pearl stratus
#

Calvin is a fun stream to watch because he reminds me of a little kid.

#

He makes these insane plays.

#

And he seems just as shocked as his viewers.

jagged crater
#

occasionally says some dumb stuff too

pearl stratus
#

Yet he does it all the time.

jagged crater
#

but he's nutty

pearl stratus
#

I also like watching quiet streamers like Geguri.

#

Watching her movements is just nutty.

jagged crater
#

i mostly watch good or pro players

#

dont mind the personalities

pearl stratus
#

Some personalities are fine.

jagged crater
#

shadowburn is super quiet but his genji is so fun to watch

pearl stratus
#

Iddqd seems to be an overall not horrible person to watch.

#

Also watching him get pushed off the cliff when he went to go pee the other day by Striker and Carpe was hilarious.

hello

fresh arrow
#

The times haven't been changed in the app yet though

deft valley
#

the app is pretty slow to update in general

fresh arrow
#

The scores update relatively quickly for me

#

The little details like times and the playoffs were slow-ish

deft valley
#

They're quick for me but they also don't push

#

so it doesn't update until you force it to
even on launch

fresh arrow
#

wdym push?

#

Mine updates on launch

deft valley
#

automatic updating when new info is up

#

idk maybe mine is wrong
I also don't like how you can't select a week
and just have to scroll through the stage

fresh arrow
#

Tbh it doesn't bother me that it takes a few seconds to update on launch

#

Yeah the no weeks option sucks a bit though

#

But I mostly use the desktop site for the schedule now

deft valley
#

the problem isnt' the waiting it's that you need to do it manually
so you scroll to current week
realize it's not updated
need to scroll up to update
scroll back down to the current week

#

yeah desktop is generally better for me too

They've got a whole Academy team

and they have the least amount of play time as any team

slim summit

Nobody has really stood out to me so far except WhoRU on Genji zaryalol

my point is that they'll probably wait until Stage 3

what was their overall position in stage one?

Is it just me or does it seem like the Overwatch League players don't do anything except their job or things that their team organises? I swear they haven't even stepped foot out of Burbank.

Well the off season is 6 months so I assume most are giving as much of their time as they can to their job right now. Some of them are taking a break now while they have a week off. NYXL have even gone to Vegas.

theres going to be a lot more standard dive with zen/lucio

and for enclosed maps without verticality triple/quad tank is probs going to be good

gaunt acorn

junkrat ""nerf""

#

expect another stage of jakerat spam

#

before they nerf his riptire in time for stage 3

red anvil
#

honestly, if you thought stage 1 was hellrat, just wait until stage 2. Mercy res was often used to counter riptire, keep the mercy alive and just res whoever got slapped by the tire

#

if your mercy died to the tire, you lost the fight

#

now they can just pick choose and kill everyone and have ridiculous value

finite cedar
#

I think the biggest change we might see will be more due to Mercy being less played, which will mean less damage boost.

Top to bottom Dallas seems like a shit show

#

Imagine not signing sowhat simply because it got leaked early lol

red anvil
#

Because it really looks bad for Dallas the way hastr0 behaved on twitter, they had to at least give the full side of there story

fresh arrow
#

there's a podcast that was saying stuff about hastr0

red anvil
#

Overview

red anvil
#

It's third time now that it sort of sound like a person had a verbal agreement with Dallas, but the position dissapared

fresh arrow
#

third time?

#

i haven't heard about the other two

red anvil
#

Akm and Dogman

#

well i said it wrong, not verbal agreement

fresh arrow
#

aKm confirmed though

#

?

red anvil
#

before stage 1

#

he was trying out for them earlier then this

fresh arrow
#

uber said that it was just too late in the signing period

#

which makes more sense to me since aKm is now in

red anvil
#

Hastr0 said he wanted to leave the positions open to find out what the team needed

#

and i take hastr0s word over ubers

fresh arrow
#

uber also said that kyky didn't feel that the team needed aKm at the time

#

which kind of also checks out with what you say hastr0 said

red anvil
#

Fair enough, i still dont think it's the correct player for them to pick up so Shrug

#

Rascal however was a better fit then i even dared to hope for

#

Did not expect that at all

fresh arrow
#

i'm not so sure about any of the new additions bc the team is still pretty shaky as a whole

red anvil
#

Personality wise, it's easy gone be a mess

fresh arrow
#

their scrims start again today so i guess we'll see if xQc leaks anything again zaryalol

red anvil
#

Xqc said he wouldent play before 31.

#

but then again he said he wouldent also play against seoul so i take that with a grain of salt

fresh arrow
#

he's free to play on the 21st

#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

#

he'd still have to scrim with the team at least

red anvil
#

Probably

#

I still think they should get a korean MT just to get dives solid

#

then develop the roster from there when it's stable

#

i always said they should build the roster around effect, rascal is one step in the correct direction

Will there be an app or other feature that helps us keep up to date with the Contenders league, like with OWL?

When does contenders start?

limber pine

March 3rd I think

#

no the 11th

#

Trials start on the 3rd

#

Trials is such a useless little tournament right now

#

Playoffs are basically trials

#

Since there is no current contenders ranking

#

The new teams cannot compete with the low contenders teams

pearl stratus
#

Btw. This was kind of interesting (Also rip this dudes amount of free time).

#

Some of the scores are super silly.

Like Kalios (Boston Uprising) having a 42-1 Elimination:Death record on one of the maps as D'va.

#

It's also completely overall useless since it just shows one offs.

#

But they're still fun to look at.

spring lintel
#

I think it’s unreliable

pearl stratus
#

Of course, I just like looking at some of the per game stats.

#

It doesn't magically make me think Profit is a better Genji than Shadowburn

spring lintel
#

Agilities as the best junkrat is the only thing that made me 100% shut this thing down

pearl stratus
#

Because Shadowburn will get high scores consistently, rather than a one off map.

#

Best round of Junkrat.

#

It doesn't say he's the best. Just that he had the best technical round of him.

spring lintel
#

Oh okay, i get it now.

pearl stratus
#

IT's just fun seeing where in the league a hero went bananas, regardless of who was playing him.

#

Like the Muma numbers against Shanghai with Orissa.

#

That's just silly.

what's fctfctn's purpose for outlaws? Is he just a main tank for em, cause I would rather have muma than fctfctn

raven portal
#

i have a question about the eSport medal on asian games 2022

#

is overwatch will get into asian games?

onyx shore
#

i dont think so

scarlet spear
#

@dense ferry backup tank if muma cant play for whatever reasons

#

for internal scrims aswell

onyx shore
#

esport should not be in olympics to be honest

#

esport isnt sport,that's why it's called esport

raven portal
#

Make sense.

onyx shore
#

we should have our own E-Olympic

raven portal
#

i hope they will get Overwatch on 2018 Asian Games Demonstration event.

onyx shore
#

but in this e-olympics

raven portal
#

As i know eSport will be added on Asian Games 2018 as demonstration

onyx shore
#

we should've just send the starcraft gold medals to south koreans to save time and money

#

lul

dense ferry
#

I was gonna say, he'll just be Benched

raven portal
#

if they added Starcraft 2, i just give up to korean

onyx shore
#

i just dont understand why so many teams need 12 players

#

isnt that too many?

raven portal
#

since my country little or don't know StarCraft 2

magic zinc
#

So they can do 6v6 internally and dont leak strats

#

And so that every position has a back-up player thats actually actively scrimming

onyx shore
#

but many of those players will just get benched all stage

magic zinc
#

For example Numlocked is in Valiant, he doesn't even scrim anymore because they dont have 12 players and dont bring everyone to a scrim per se

#

Yeah thats just how sports work really

scarlet spear
#

numlocked seemed very depressed about it, not even getting scrim time sucks tho

magic zinc
#

Yeah he's in a slave contract almost

#

Not allowed to play

#

Contracted so can't really move

#

I guess he can buy himself out but he probably doesn't have that kind of money

scarlet spear
#

i mean

magic zinc
#

I assume Valiant will want to trade him

scarlet spear
#

at least hes making money for now

#

yeah

#

that would make sense

#

but theres no reason for him to be a starter with fate & envy playing an amazing duo

magic zinc
#

Those guys are so competitive I'm sure they'd all take a paycut to be able to play

onyx shore
#

stylosa will somehow bring numlocked into london spitfire team

scarlet spear
magic zinc
#

Ah great he can sit on the bench there KaplanThink

scarlet spear
#

as much as the situation sucks for him, it makes sense from valiants side

magic zinc
#

I feel like they should at least involve him in scrims

#

Especially now thatits off-season, can't really hurt to try him out

tight vault
scarlet spear
#

guess its hard to involve him when you cant internally scrim, since they probably only scrim other OWL teams that have been prearranged, i can imagine they want as much playtime with their starters as possible to work on better teamplay

#

i doubt they're just using him there, immortals as an Org is way too nice and has been treating their players so well in other games

tight vault
#

will shanghai ever win

scarlet spear
#

they improved a lot, got some good new signings, why not

tight vault
#

stage 2 week 1 their facing dallas and valiant

onyx shore
#

as long as they still use their usual lineup,not possible atm

#

even with new players,they still need time to adjust,probably wait for stage 3

tight vault
#

yeah probably

onyx shore
#

and expect they will get stomped even harder now that the moth is dead

tight vault
#

all of a sudden shanghai just starts destroying everyone

onyx shore
#

imo,if it's true they signed 4 new players,then probably only diya and undead are worth keeping

scarlet spear
#

they are confirmed

tight vault
#

6-36-0 professinoals shanghai

onyx shore
#

but without mercy...those mc cree players will have harder time

scarlet spear
#

yeah with the new players i cant really see undead being a starter player

onyx shore
#

i think undead can

#

he proved over and over that he's above the others on that team

scarlet spear
#

undead is good on mcCree widow

#

thats about it

#

diya has been better imo

onyx shore
#

the reason he died so much was because the support and dva player are garbage on that team

tight vault
#

BostonUprising > SeoulDynasty

onyx shore
#

but yes,i agree

#

without mercy

#

widow and mc cree will struggle a lot

#

Observer's Pit

onyx shore
#

they should use another guy seriously

magic zinc
#

Its a little awkward that they fired 'the worst guy' on the team

#

And he did BEAT

#

and Beat was great

scarlet spear
#

dashnerr?

magic zinc
#

Not sure who it is tbh but that's the story I heard

grizzled mulch
#

BEAT was not great.

#

People are overpraising BEAT in their attempt of shitting on OWL

scarlet spear
#

beat was fine to watch

#

considering it was 1 dude doing the observing

#

imo

grizzled mulch
#

it was what it was. But to say that "BEAT > OWL" is horseshit.

#

People overtly fond of APEX as well when back then people also complains about APEX cameraworks being a giant mess of confusioness and nausea

#

but i guess just by cherry picking some examples it totally means that APEX > OWL FeelsCringeMan

pocket or no pocket

cobalt moon

J GWskarzzLUL K E

spring lintel
#

No one will be effected negatively by the mercy nerfs BUT the mercy

#

No hero needs damage boost to be effective

#

As for heals there are other pocket heroes

scarlet spear
#

i just think it makes junk an even better character since he still has an insane bit of RNG oneshot potential

#

and you cant just ress it now if you get an early junk spam pick

spring lintel
#

Yeah positive effects of mercy’s nerf to other heroes is pretty big

#

Now players can actually try to go for big plays knowing that there’s no mercy so a trade is good.

magic zinc
#

I hope we still have hero variety in Stage 2, Mercy definitely mafe some other heroes better

#

Seems to be a healthy meta from what I can tell though, hopefully we see Ana and not just Moira

Hey guys
So I'm developing this platform for eSports titles to assemble teams, my first priority is to get it working on Overwatch,How it works is it gets data from each player who wants to join a team and based on their performance and the team performance a match is found
Taking into consideration various other factos such as location for ping, Communication and additional features such as a reviewing system as well
As gamers your feedback is truly appreciated, if you could spare a few minutes of your time to fill this survey it would help me determine which features I could develop first as I'm on a limited time frame.
