[scarlet spear]

because 1 bit is not 1 cent

[errant kayak]

well

blizz gets 400k

[turbid bloom]

Lol

[scarlet spear]

tru

its not like you have to pay 40mil bits by yourself to get the skin

[limber pine]

already almost 1.6 mill

[tight vault]

jesus

[scarlet spear]

and the first stream is still 2hrs off

[gusty cipher]

i wonder how much the views will tank with less eu

-10k?

[limber pine]

Wednesday's start time didn't change

It's thursdays and Saturdays where you'll see the change

[young sonnet]

Triggers me so much how it's so late for EU

[slim summit]

Sucks to be... eu

hahahahaahhahahaha

[young sonnet]

[magic zinc]

[gusty cipher]

all matches start 1am here, except sunday

[young sonnet]

I guess they have their statistics which shows which time zone is most profitable ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gusty cipher]

gmt+1 btw

[errant kayak]

I mean it's probably also at least partially for the players sake

[gusty cipher]

global league btw

[slim summit]

First & second matches today should be pretty sweet

[turbid bloom]

BTW it's only for the first skin

[slim summit]

I'm pumped for OWL to be back!

[errant kayak]

Although I did like the earlier start times on thursdays

[turbid bloom]

Imagine getting all 26 skins

[errant kayak]

as my classes end earlier on thursday

[turbid bloom]

26 x 400k

Rip wallet

[scarlet spear]

its not 40 mil for each skin

[errant kayak]

nah they'll presumably change up how they're distributing them later on

[scarlet spear]

you can see that the next milestone there is a lot closer

[errant kayak]

first one is 40 mil

well

[slim summit]

i thought they were team milestones?

[turbid bloom]

Bits

[errant kayak]

it's no closer

[scarlet spear]

next one looks like 50 mil ish

[errant kayak]

the line is nearly the same length

[turbid bloom]

50m total

?

[errant kayak]

it's not exactly the same

[scarlet spear]

hmm

[errant kayak]

but it's not only 10 mil

[scarlet spear]

yeah

[errant kayak]

actually

[scarlet spear]

the other ones look the same

[errant kayak]

it probably is exactly the same

it's just the icon is bigger

[scarlet spear]

but the one from first to 2nd looks different

[errant kayak]

it's because the icon is bigger

[scarlet spear]

might be

yeah

it looks differnet for me

[slim summit]

probably just because it's populated

i gotta read this shit again

LOL people are already spamming bits in chat

capitalism is good

[gusty cipher]

weird thing is, 5 weeks of regular owl, 4 rewards

[errant kayak]

so how long until the forums are spammed with "I thought I got in-game emotes not twitch emotes!!!"

[turbid bloom]

I measured

[slim summit]

So am I correct that

they haven't announced what the rewards for team-based milestones are?

[scarlet spear]

4 rewards 4 stages

im guessing it just adds up to the number of rewards they have?

[turbid bloom]

First gap 1.4cm second is 1.2cm and 3rd is 1.4cm

[magic zinc]

I got the Sym emote

:(

[turbid bloom]

Hey man sym is great

[gusty cipher]

let's look for clues about hero 27...

[errant kayak]

ew

the genji emote is an i need healing meme

[slim summit]

lol

sym emote

[scarlet spear]

sym emote is great

she looks pissed

[magic zinc]

I'll use it when Sym is played

oh wait

[slim summit]

don't worry

they're gonna make sym meta so people stop complaining about sym one tricks

just wait

[young sonnet]

Why isn't junkrats emote just a picture of jakes face

[magic zinc]

I think we might see Sym like twice on Hollywood Point A

Against tanks she isn't terrible

[tight vault]

J ke

[scarlet spear]

taimou pulling out the sym tonight, wait for it

[gusty cipher]

...2600 bits ~30-35$... highest twitch subscription is 25$... hmmmmmmmmmmm

[magic zinc]

Effect afks after the Sym pick and leaves the venue

[gusty cipher]

the normal emotes aren't animated, right?

[errant kayak]

correct

[gusty cipher]

imagine all emotes being animated... 10/10 make twitch chat great again

[slim summit]

have you seen how terrible the Boston animated emote is

it's so bad

[errant kayak]

I mean most of them are pretty bad

[gusty cipher]

like all of the team emotes?

[slim summit]

London Spitfire would have a word with you

[scarlet spear]

the london one is pretty cool

gladiators aswell

[gusty cipher]

ney

[slim summit]

Dallas Fuel shot from the 2nd page to the #1 spot

in the last like 10 minutes

[scarlet spear]

boston just looks like it gets a golden shower

[slim summit]

Outlaws went way up too

[scarlet spear]

outlaws was 2nd earlier

while NYXL was ahead with like 30-40k

[errant kayak]

also none of this money goes to the teams directly

[scarlet spear]

now NYXL is 4th

yeah

thats the dumb part

[slim summit]

barely any money went to the teams anyway

🤷

[scarlet spear]

should have a certain % go to the team that you donate to

[errant kayak]

good joke cutting into their profits

they already cut in enough with the hero skins

[gusty cipher]

yeah, handpainted grey joy

[scarlet spear]

1,8 mil bits already

[slim summit]

!tokens

[gusty cipher]

pls no

[scarlet spear]

!claim

[gusty cipher]

!tokenmvp xqc

[slim summit]

this is the reason xQc wasn't removed from the league already

[gusty cipher]

nate nanzer watches you even when you sleep

the money they could make with switching the skins to the team aways

...

[slim summit]

they say that there are rewards for each team reaching goals too

they just didn't say what as far as I can tell

[gusty cipher]

animated spray ingame

mark my words

[slim summit]

lol

but everyone would have it

right?

i mean, we don't really know anything

[gusty cipher]

no, only the top tier bit warriors will claim them

[slim summit]

As individual, team-based, and global Cheering milestones are reached, you can unlock rewards including Hero emotes, Overwatch League skins not yet available in game, and more.

🤷

[gusty cipher]

i wonder when league is gonna jump on the token train

[torpid charm]

first day of stage 2! what are y'all predictions if you have any 👀

[tight vault]

vs
vs
vs

[forest wharf]

Fuels getting 4-0'd, calling it

[vagrant jacinth]

Valiant, Dallas and shock to win imo

[forest wharf]

Inb4 xqc tilts and throws the game

[slim summit]

are LAG plaing with fissure in today's matches?

[scarlet spear]

we'll see later

they definitely can

[kindred brook]

Ye I don't see Fuel losing to Shanghai lol

[slim summit]

They almost did last time when throwQc was benched

We'll see!

[tight vault]

that match was rigged last time

[scarlet spear]

OWL stream live, guess we get some watchpoint

[tight vault]

shanghai with that solid

0-10

[scarlet spear]

going for the negative record

[slim summit]

why aren't we at 40 million bits yet

this is an outrage

[tight vault]

why don't you donate some bits

[slim summit]

i'm no chump

i'm here to profit off the foolishness of others

[tight vault]

same

[scarlet spear]

same

[silk linden]

why are we giving amazon and activision blizzard even more money

stop

[tight vault]

gonna lose feelsgoodman clap

[scarlet spear]

the token overview shit below the stream broke for me

bits, not token

[tight vault]

London= roids

[slim summit]

yeah

it became a giant X_X face

NEW MAPS*

wooo

[scarlet spear]

no more MERCY

finally

[slim summit]

finally

either these guys wear the same clothes every day or I've seen this already

[tight vault]

yall

i want a official puppy rumble league

[scarlet spear]

agreed

[tight vault]

JAKE

[scarlet spear]

whos jake? some cheap imitation of J LUL KE ?

[magic zinc]

Guys I'm from the future, xQc is going to cast with Monte now and the League is comprised of just Fleta

[tight vault]

no

NOOOOOOOO

[magic zinc]

Yes, you'll see

[north tendon]

WHOS READY TO GET XCITE

[scarlet spear]

xQc casting would be so great

imagine the salt

[slim summit]

First caster in esports history to be suspended & fined

[magic zinc]

The casters will confirm it for me soon

Give it... 15 mins

[scarlet spear]

make it happen and turn the subreddits into this https://streamable.com/kg4uo

[north tendon]

whos ready to watch the pros dictate what ladder comp is like after a couple of days

[tight vault]

vs
vs
vs

[magic zinc]

Totally not like I already watched Watchpoint

[north tendon]

is geguri playing for dragons?

[young sonnet]

Nah

[scarlet spear]

yes, but shes not in LA yet

[north tendon]

oh

[scarlet spear]

they apparently have some visa issues, so they're not expected to play before stage 3

[magic zinc]

Ugh I thought OWL would start 20 mins ago not in 40, dont wanna stay up till 1

[north tendon]

oh damn

[slim summit]

do it

sleep is for the weak

[north tendon]

you know its worth

you know it

[silk linden]

@magic zinc that's the EU OWL life

[young sonnet]

I have work in the morning though 😢

[magic zinc]

Match would be over at 3am no thanks

[silk linden]

in your opinion, what were the best matches houston played so far?

[tight vault]

stay up

[silk linden]

I wanna watch some vods

[scarlet spear]

any jake didnt play in LUL

but srsly probably last day

[north tendon]

outlaws vs spitfire

[scarlet spear]

vs boston was pretty intense

[north tendon]

they won one and lost one

im curious if jakerat can thrive

honestly it probably will

seeing how dumb junk still is

[jovial jewel]

NEW MAPS

[magic zinc]

I didnt think OWL EU life could be worse but they managed to do just that, I can watch 1 match a week now

[north tendon]

this is the rotation with king's row right?

my fav map

[jovial jewel]

ye

[slim summit]

has this guy always had a bright blue earring

[jovial jewel]

its got route 66 and hollywood

[magic zinc]

This is my fav Map Pool by far

[silk linden]

KR and Lijang best maps according to jeff's poll, right

[north tendon]

I thought they took EU into consideration

whats going on

[silk linden]

couldn't agree more

[magic zinc]

Cant really be topped imo

[north tendon]

maybe by stage 4

[slim summit]

They had to take EU's needs into consideration to spurn them so hard

[north tendon]

KR wins by a land slide

[slim summit]

Oh, you need earlier matches? HAHAHAHA THEY'RE LATER NOW!

[north tendon]

then lijiang

[jovial jewel]

i like gibraltar, but in general KR is such a well made map

[tight vault]

hollywood

[north tendon]

king's row also looked beautiful before the art change

[slim summit]

Numbani is my favorite map

[north tendon]

still great though

[magic zinc]

They took EUs sleeping schedule into consideration by making it genuinly impossible to watch instead of it being hard to watch, theyre taking care of us

[north tendon]

just a bit bummed

[silk linden]

I voted lijang but I'm 100% cool with KR taking the crown (eh)

it's such a solid map

[north tendon]

lmao fire 😦

[silk linden]

funny that their best map is like, the first one they released

[jovial jewel]

KR was one of the first maps made for release?

[slim summit]

I voted for Moonbase Alpha as a troll

[north tendon]

wasnt anubis first?

or was that just beta

or alpha

[jovial jewel]

i remember it was KR, anubis, and ...

hanamura?

[magic zinc]

It makes sense, its the map they used for internal testing and had the longest dev time

[north tendon]

that sounds about right

[silk linden]

some of the most recent ones are the worst... they are getting weird with their experiments

[jovial jewel]

anubis does have the design of a first map

[magic zinc]

All post-launch stuff bar Oasis has been horid imo

[north tendon]

they were play testing in a rough anubis

[jovial jewel]

one of the ways you can tell is usually the skybox

[silk linden]

Oasis is solid and I still can't judge blizzworld, but horizon, junkertown, eichen, they have issues

[slim summit]

did they already step in the time machine

cus i think they went into the past

[jovial jewel]

early maps like hanamura and anubis have low skyboxes

[scarlet spear]

how old is this watchpoint wtf ?

[north tendon]

thats smart big

[young sonnet]

[north tendon]

never thought of that

[magic zinc]

Blizzworld is a big ResidentSleeper imo surprised people arent more upset about it

Its last weeks

[north tendon]

I barely got to play it

[jovial jewel]

ye

[north tendon]

im wondering what the meta will be

[jovial jewel]

blizzworld is kinda bad on offense

[north tendon]

its pretty but yeah

[silk linden]

anubis is one of the few maps not to have bottomless pits

[jovial jewel]

that too

[silk linden]

I can actually only think of two

[jovial jewel]

early maps have very few bottomless pits

[north tendon]

imagine if blizzworld is another pirate ship map

LMAO

[jovial jewel]

and when they do, they're outside of the main parts of the map

[north tendon]

pls no

[magic zinc]

It has a big choke on Point A with 1 tunnel... which goes around back into the choke

I forgot how slow this server is on mobile oh god

[silk linden]

blizzworld can only be a pirate ship between point A and the castle

[north tendon]

yeah, the payload part

[magic zinc]

As if streets-phase ever mattered

Maaaaybe on Gibraltar/King's row, the others are usually sweeps

Dont think I've ever seen a Numbani streets hold

[scarlet spear]

theres been some

but not like they happen often

[jovial jewel]

wait dragons are playing today

that means

NEW ROSTER

[scarlet spear]

no

[magic zinc]

It doesnr

[kindred brook]

Whenever the casters are too adamant there's never numbani streets holds, there's a numbani street hold

[magic zinc]

No visas

[jovial jewel]

:^(

[kindred brook]

And no its old roster

[jovial jewel]

oh

[scarlet spear]

new roster isnt supposed to happen till stage 3 most likely

[jovial jewel]

well

[kindred brook]

New roster could beat Dallas LOL

[jovial jewel]

[scarlet spear]

no visa's yet and no scrim time

[silk linden]

dallas also have new people

[slim summit]

Dallas Fuel

[kindred brook]

Dallas new people won't help

[scarlet spear]

yeah fuel could play AKM and rascal today if they want to

[young sonnet]

XQC

jk

[magic zinc]

Dont think Rascal will be playing yet, hoping for akm tho

[dim idol]

Dallas will win this stage

[slim summit]

Benching ladder champs for actual pros will improve their coordination

[scarlet spear]

yeah doubt rascal will play, akm tho

[jovial jewel]

well atleast new maps and breathing room for other supports

[kindred brook]

What ladder champs

[magic zinc]

Jjonak ladder champ monkaS

[kindred brook]

Dallas' problems have nothing to do with needing to replace individuals players, that's just a potential solution to ignoring the problem

[jovial jewel]

wait

dallas

xQc?

lol jk

[kindred brook]

they should probably play xqc tbh, over cocco

[scarlet spear]

depending on maps yeah

[jovial jewel]

throwcco

[scarlet spear]

kings row will be cocco tho

100%

[jovial jewel]

ye

[kindred brook]

Oh GOD

[jovial jewel]

most of these maps will prolly be xqc tho

[kindred brook]

I am SO HAPPY the map pool is changed

[tight vault]

J LUL AKE

[scarlet spear]

wow u butchered that

[jovial jewel]

J KE

oh no

[kindred brook]

LOL

🕯

[jovial jewel]

saved

👍

[young sonnet]

Why would they even run this fucking video

Just do it live ya plebs

[jovial jewel]

how did outlaws get second 🤔

[kindred brook]

What's the vid I'm not watching

By map score

Cos they went on huge 4-0 streak right

[jovial jewel]

but like

HOW

oh

[young sonnet]

It's that watchpoint thing pre game but it's not live so they think rascal and fissure are still in london

[scarlet spear]

outlaws is 2nd right now

[jovial jewel]

i see them more as a #3 or #4 team honestly

[tight vault]

pine getting his dicked sucked again

[kindred brook]

Ye ofc, they came 3rd in playoffs

[scarlet spear]

yeah i dont think they will keep their standing that high up

[kindred brook]

Unfortunately we have a silly map score system

[scarlet spear]

the pine origins that came out today/yesterday from NYXL is so good

i love those videos

[jovial jewel]

didn't watch playoffs

probably should've tho

[kindred brook]

Playoffs are the most important bit!!

[jovial jewel]

kinda went into OWL blind of how the teams were doing besides dragons

so i thought that outlaws was good, but not great

[kindred brook]

I thought dragons was gonna be really good

Was sad to see the announced roster :c

[jovial jewel]

dragons could've been good

they can be good in stage 3

we'll see

[scarlet spear]

i remember alicus hyping up shanghai

and then we get that they didnt even trial their players

[kindred brook]

Unfortunately a lot of MY were underage and retired so they couldn't pick them up

[scarlet spear]

they werent retired

they retired because they didnt get picked up

[kindred brook]

They retire after the fact

Yea

[scarlet spear]

at least they picked up zhufanjun now

[kindred brook]

The kids couldn't sign anyway 😐

[scarlet spear]

thats 2 players only

tho

that arent 18

[kindred brook]

Most important ones

[scarlet spear]

from MY

[jovial jewel]

what is it with this cheers stuff?

is this like skin shit?

[kindred brook]

I wonder why they didn't pick anyone else

Cheers are for twitch

[north tendon]

why are so many kids good at overwatch?

is it a reflex thing?

[kindred brook]

They have more time to play

Usually

[jovial jewel]

probably just more time to play

cuz ynow

[north tendon]

ah

[jovial jewel]

no taxes

and just school

[north tendon]

so its not a growing old thing

[kindred brook]

The reflex thing is imperceptible

[slim summit]

nah

[jovial jewel]

i'd imagine that adults probably have better reflex than just kids

[slim summit]

people talk about age n shit

but especially in a game like this

nah

[kindred brook]

Mechanics probably don't degrade till like 45

[slim summit]

esports is just hard

[marsh pumice]

Hi all

[kindred brook]

In even the most mechanically intensive games

Hello

[jovial jewel]

hi gr33n

[slim summit]

you have to be very passionate about something to participate

then your passion is turned into very very hard work endlessly

[scarlet spear]

someone in mid 20s or after also has problems trying to compete in a league that gave you basically no salary till recently

[slim summit]

not easy

[scarlet spear]

gotta pay the bills

[marsh pumice]

im hyped and missing the league

[north tendon]

well thats reassuring

[kindred brook]

Ya, once you're old you have family and other responsibilities

Less play time

[jovial jewel]

league will be fun to see with less marcy

[kindred brook]

Ye I'm hyped for this Seoul vs Valiant rematch with no mercy

Or less mercy

[north tendon]

if there is gonna be a mercy its gonna be a good one like ark

im excited to see what happens

or pharah

nyxl rematch lets go

I felt robbed with that loss

[kindred brook]

Against who?

[north tendon]

spitfire

the final basically

[kindred brook]

Ah

I'm a Spitfire fan so I thought it was great 😊

[north tendon]

its not the first game though

[kindred brook]

Ye 3rd day or something

[north tendon]

well im not salty enough to dismiss spitfire's great team play

and plus they were exhausted too

so thats amazing

[tight vault]

J AKE

[jovial jewel]

i dunno who to be a fan of anymore

[kindred brook]

I'm a fan of 1. Dallas 2. Spitfire

[jovial jewel]

i guess nyxl since that's probably the one i have the closest relation to

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[kindred brook]

Plus I support some individuals on other teams

[north tendon]

pine sealed nyxl for me

and flower is coming soon too

but I just love the whole team

and their synergy

[kindred brook]

It's gonna be really hard to play flower

Who do you replace

[jovial jewel]

for once new york has a good sports team

haHAA

[kindred brook]

Their dps lineup is stacked

[north tendon]

yea idk

[torn wedge]

You can't say "SKILLRAT" in Twitch chat apparently

[north tendon]

good thing libero can play the entire roster

haha

isnt that auto moderated?

I guess that was too spammed

[silk linden]

I like how the guy who can play the entire roster is called Libero

[jovial jewel]

seems semi childish to block words like skillrat in chat

[silk linden]

fitting

[jovial jewel]

but then again

this is twitchchat

[scarlet spear]

thats how its always been

[kindred brook]

It's poor auto moderating

[scarlet spear]

theres some really dumb words you cant use

[kindred brook]

Some of the mods were complaining about it

[north tendon]

it is

they are too lazy to actually work on the chat

[jovial jewel]

oh

[kindred brook]

The mods are willing to do it properly

[north tendon]

I get banned so easily there

[jovial jewel]

better mods maybe

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[kindred brook]

But blizzo won't let them

Which is insane

[jovial jewel]

i just don't type anything in twitch chat honestly

[north tendon]

that sucks

[glacial sleet]

why are there so many fletas lmao

[kindred brook]

Because fleta is best dps

[torpid charm]

so many Fletas

[north tendon]

birdring is just insane tho

carpe too

[torpid charm]

I love Carpe

[north tendon]

I still find it funny birdring's idol is seagull if that statement is actually true lol

[scarlet spear]

birdring&profit 2 gud

[north tendon]

iddqd was hyped up so much by owl

but he never got to play

feelsbad

[scarlet spear]

i mean

theres some people like that

[kindred brook]

Only hyped up cos streamer really

[scarlet spear]

numlocked, mistakes, iddqd, mendo, grimrealities

[north tendon]

yeah

[scarlet spear]

[north tendon]

numlocked felt terrible last I checked

[kindred brook]

Carpe is replaceable now that Philly have snillo

That'll be interesting if they still run dive

Philly dive in stage 4 might be stronger than the Korean teams

[scarlet spear]

eh

snillo

seems so eh

[sinful fox]

snillo is a nut

[kindred brook]

Shadowburn genji snillo tracer Sado winston

[sinful fox]

but carpe is also a nut

[kindred brook]

Every pro I've talked to has rated snillos tracer quite highly

Over carpes

No flexibility tho

[scarlet spear]

is he really? i never saw him shine in tourneys

[sinful fox]

meanwhile carpe can play widow/genji/tracer/pharah/mccree all at owl level

[glacial sleet]

bamboozle in 10 minutes 😮

[torpid charm]

I'm very ready for Sado

[sinful fox]

its hard to shine on dps when your teammates arent as good as you @scarlet spear

[scarlet spear]

and outside the only thing i know is that he night queued a 3 stack and dodged good teams for rank 1

[jovial jewel]

9:00 for SHD vs. DF remach???

aw hell no

[tight vault]

watch it or else i will

[sinful fox]

no dps can really look impressive when there is no space created for them to work

[tight vault]

do things to you

[jovial jewel]

yes ma'am

[kindred brook]

These game times are very good for Australia 😛 for once everyone else has bad times instead of us woooo

[scarlet spear]

i mean we'll see soon if he gets played

[sinful fox]

yeah we will

[torpid charm]

as much as I love Fragi, I know Sado can go out there and fuck some shit up in a good way

[jovial jewel]

god i wish i was in central america right now

i'm actually going to be up for way too long.

[sinful fox]

fragi is probably the best aggressive reinhardt in all of overwatch

[torpid charm]

I agree

[sinful fox]

may not be huge iq, but he knows how to frag literally

he doesnt have the technical play of some other rein players, like

cocco is a very good rein player but hes passive

fragi just barely right clicks at all

[torpid charm]

as much as I love the change that was made about how all the weekday matches start at 7 p.m. EST now, I'm gonna have a lot of VODs to catch up on because I cannot function the next day if I spent the night before watching OWL till I fall asleep

[sinful fox]

makes more sense imo

i kinda woulda liked if they started them all at 5pm est

[torpid charm]

ya

[sinful fox]

shd 0-10

monkaS

[torpid charm]

tbh you just can't win when it comes to time due to all the different timezones but they're trying to make it bearable so I can't hate

hoping for a Shanghai win in stage 2 honestly

[scarlet spear]

bearable

FeelsEUman

[sinful fox]

i cant see them not winning a game

[jovial jewel]

EU haHAA

[sinful fox]

match*

[gloomy valley]

dallas fuel comeback?

I'm hoping for it

[sinful fox]

i want la glads to slam w/ fissure

[jovial jewel]

if i watch all the owl matches, imma be up until 1:00 AM

thank god that vods exists

[narrow dew]

if i watch none of the matches

[torpid charm]

same

[narrow dew]

imma be up at 1 am

Im really salty

[torpid charm]

on Fridays, I always stay up all night to watch all the matches

[forest wharf]

Fuels gonna get clapped

[tight vault]

gonna lose feelsgoodman clap

[balmy wolf]

why cant i see my stats

[jovial jewel]

wait ok real question

[balmy wolf]

https://gyazo.com/b4c0a2c334b9d067698ae727f7666d6c

[jovial jewel]

[tight vault]

FEELSGOODMAN CLAP

🤔

[tight vault]

[jovial jewel]

[torpid charm]

OOOOOOH IT'S STARTING I AM EXCITED

[jovial jewel]

SEOUL VS. VALIANT

[scarlet spear]

[jovial jewel]

oh

:^(

[tight vault]

WOO SHANGHAI

@dusk garden they dont have visas yet and are still in korea/china, they most likely wont play till stage 3 considering scrims etc

[sinful heron]

Orly

i hooked blizzard acc to twitch as soon as they annouced the idea

before it officially started i got like 14 or something tokens

[jovial jewel]

[woeful wolf]

[scarlet spear]

global twitch emotes

50k for dallas and they dont get shit 4Head

[sinful heron]

Volskaya is

[sinful fox]

I went to the stream right after the article came out for maybe like 10 mins, and there was easy 25-30k in the chat

[jovial jewel]

ryu ana poggers

[sinful heron]

I mean it's good vs Winston but idk

[woeful wolf]

ya

[scarlet spear]

? reaper is totally fine into sombra

[sinful heron]

Oh really?

[scarlet spear]

not the worst pick to take there

[sinful fox]

reapers fine on this map cuz its rlly close

[sinful heron]

Oh fair enough

[woeful wolf]

NA UT

[sinful fox]

but usually its p shit into sombra

[wide basin]

Envy what

[scarlet spear]

you cant shift out but you still have 250 HP

[sinful fox]

reaper is just oddly good on 2cp

[jovial jewel]

WAIT HE'S ON ANA

[woeful wolf]

HMmmmmmmm

[sinful heron]

Oh shit fair enough then

[glacial sleet]

lmao bronze chat

[scarlet spear]

RJH ana

[sinful fox]

agilities been playing really patient so far

i fw it

[woeful wolf]

reaper is just good at brawling on point

dats what 2cp is

[sinful heron]

Yeah

[sinful fox]

well 2cp 2nd point is close on all of the maps so reaper can do more than normal

[idle beacon]

can't wait to see geguri play

[sinful fox]

but idk i feel like he might not be the best pic here

pick

[tight vault]

trash= seoul

[sinful heron]

Wow that was clean af

Although 5 ult

[slim summit]

Reaper Ana meta?

[wide basin]

Holy

[woeful wolf]

SOON POPPED OFFF

[wide basin]

Valiant tight

[red canyon]

seoul last push

[jovial jewel]

jehong

[sinful fox]

4 ults

[sinful heron]

BEYBLADE INC

[woeful wolf]

they have like 3-4 comming soon

[sinful fox]

they have blade sd no defensive ults tho

[serene tendon]

valiant wants that top 3

[scarlet spear]

Beyblade flashbacks

[jovial jewel]

beyblade

[north tendon]

how did the sombra finish him off?

wow lol

[sinful heron]

That was so nice to avoid dragonblade from everyone

That was a REALLY nice last push

[silk linden]

Lucio in every team and no Mercy in sight. Now this is the good shit right here

[red canyon]

!!!

[sinful heron]

That's how to push 2CP

[red canyon]

noice

[woeful wolf]

DID YOU SEE THAT NO REG

[errant kayak]

no

[sinful heron]

Yeah

[scarlet spear]

overtime 2 strong

[sinful heron]

That no reg was hard

[woeful wolf]

on tracer

[sinful fox]

thats what happens when you use 5 ults against a team thats doing a dry push 🤔

[sinful heron]

I saw that

[woeful wolf]

at the end

[sinful heron]

It was disgusting

[jovial jewel]

doomfist

[woeful wolf]

tracer shouldve died

[pearl cedar]

Seoul had 6 ults for the last push

Valiant could've held some

[sinful heron]

It's the patience though

[pearl cedar]

they used too many

with 60s left

[sinful heron]

To not force Death Blossom just cause he's nano'd

[idle beacon]

GEGURI!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[woeful wolf]

they probs still wouldve won the point but that tracer shouldve died

[scarlet spear]

nope

[pearl cedar]

Geguri wont play for a while cause visa issues tho

[woeful wolf]

from the last swing

[silk linden]

It's funny how mercy was replaced by another dominant hero in the meta, yet no one is complaining because Lucio is nearly as AIDS as she was

[idle beacon]

@pearl cedar ehhh????

[full gorge]

ana though

[sinful fox]

val used 4 ults to win a push against dynasty when dynasty was doing a dry push, thats an ez loss

[scarlet spear]

SHD additions arent even in LA yet, so they cant play

[woeful wolf]

@silk linden lucio isnt broken or aids though

[silk linden]

Seriously blizzard, never make mercy viable again

[full gorge]

2 cp is all about who has the most ults at the end

its stupid

[sinful heron]

If Fleta dies at the start of a fight, Seoul lose

They are leaning on Fleta hard with this comp

[red canyon]

honestly old mercy would be so fun to watch lol

[woeful wolf]

tru

[sinful fox]

dva is high damage output too

[idle beacon]

@silk linden moira will get buffed .. no need of 2 supps anymore

[pearl cedar]

two and a half supports

geez

[sinful fox]

@red canyon ew

[jovial jewel]

genji's OWL twitch emote is that fucking "i need healing meme"

[red canyon]

i miss old mercy ;_;

[woeful wolf]

@red canyon pls stop giving my ears cancer

stop

[sinful heron]

BUNNY?

[north tendon]

JUMPED

[red canyon]

5 man rez? gold

[jovial jewel]

like ressurect ult mercy?

[sinful fox]

old mercy is fuckin GROSS

[woeful wolf]

@red canyon you must be trolling

[slim summit]

Heroes never die!

[woeful wolf]

someone just called 5man rez good

[sinful fox]

nasty

[red canyon]

i was so fuckin good on old mercy, now im trash

[slim summit]

5 man res > first gen valk

[woeful wolf]

no wonder

its coming all out

[idle beacon]

i don't understand these people hatin mercy .. don't play overwatch .. rezzing heals have been there since decades

[sinful fox]

sounds like u need to get better at heroes that actually require skill

[jovial jewel]

resurrection is just such a hard skill to balance in a fast paced fps like OW

[red canyon]

@idle beacon ye

[sinful heron]

MIRO GOD PLAY

[woeful wolf]

then dont play overwatch @red canyon

[jovial jewel]

like resurrecting just slows down gameplay

[woeful wolf]

same logic

[rustic perch]

the emp was wasted tho.. the fight was lost already

[sinful heron]

Ryu.

[full gorge]

WHAT

[woeful wolf]

you dont like current mercy then dont play

[slim summit]

it's EMP

[strong iris]

So I guess Lucio-zen dive is going back to being the requirement.. lol at all the people who thought the mercy nerf would somehow be the end of dive..

[north tendon]

lol

[slim summit]

they'll have it again by next fight

[sinful fox]

@strong iris nobody thought that

[pearl stratus]

EMP charging on double health packs is so fast.

[sinful heron]

Fleta is playing really well

[red canyon]

@woeful wolf why so mad? i still like ovw, i just prefer old mercy dats all

[sinful heron]

0 risk

[woeful wolf]

almost 6 ults

[pearl stratus]

It's like what.

1% per 10 health on a healthpack?

[jovial jewel]

mercy kinda stalls teamfights and the valkyrie rezzing rewarded dumb aggressive play

[pearl stratus]

Or something dumb

[strong iris]

@sinful fox I've seen more than enough very stupid people who thought that

[jovial jewel]

i'm fine with mercy as she is

shouldn't define an entire meta

[woeful wolf]

@red canyon my brain has something against mercy its uncontrolable

[sinful fox]

@strong iris it just brings in more flexibility because mercy is no longer necessary, you can run heavier heal comps and play multi tanks rather than ONLY dive being viable, and ONLY mercy being viable

[idle beacon]

the game i've played for a decade .. had heals .. which threw healpacks .. (up to 5 .. then CD) .. and had a needle for INSTANT rezz .. so really .. dunno what these mercy haters are about

[woeful wolf]

its stuck there

[slim summit]

SOON

WHY

[serene tendon]

unkoe?

[glacial sleet]

valiant look super uncoordinated right now

[serene tendon]

you good?

[sinful fox]

@idle beacon just because it exists doesnt mean its good

[jovial jewel]

unkoe btw

[idle beacon]

@sinful fox it's part of the game

[pearl stratus]

I think, like the announcers, that the Valiant don't understand this defense.

[sinful fox]

@idle beacon that doesnt mean its a good mechanic though

[scarlet spear]

seoul is dominating

[sinful heron]

OH Seoul when you play well you seem invincible

[red canyon]

mercy fixing dumb dps's mistakes is one annoying part of rez mechanics. idiot dps running into 6 enemies and screaming for rez 😄

[pearl stratus]

Because its not a normal defense.

[idle beacon]

mercy's rezz in valkyr is still strong .. i just don't get the hate against mercy 😄 .. (hence, i don't play mercy at all)

[pearl stratus]

There's SO much sustain for Seoul right now

[strong iris]

@sinful fox What are you talking about, Dive wasn't nearly the only thing viable stage 1

[sinful fox]

@strong iris dive and orisa hog is pretty much it

[full gorge]

lollll

[scarlet spear]

i see the arc 6 strats, spawncamping

[red canyon]

hating support is as old as video games

[dusk garden]

the backcap save poggers

[sinful fox]

nobody hates support people just hate rez

[sinful heron]

WP Seoul

[forest wharf]

Rekt

[dusk garden]

nvm

[sinful fox]

rightfully so

[idle beacon]

dynasty found demselves?

[jovial jewel]

ez

[slim summit]

WOOHOO

We all just earned 1 OWL token

[north tendon]

TIME FOR YOUR TOKEN

[pearl stratus]

Too early to say if Seoul found themselves.

[jagged crater]

omg pro meta without mercy! What a breath of fresh air

[woeful wolf]

TOKEN

S

[idle beacon]

@slim summit what? 😄

[errant kayak]

smh I didn't get my token I'm sueing

[woeful wolf]

rip

[pearl stratus]

That attack was kind of shaky.

[errant kayak]

it didn't update instantly

[jovial jewel]

so does the token just get added to your account?

[woeful wolf]

@errant kayak are you hooked up properly

[strong iris]

Mark my words: Stage two is going to see far less hero variety overall; we are back to Winston Dva Lucio Zen every map

[errant kayak]

yes

[forest wharf]

Yall motherfuckers doubted seoul?

[glacial sleet]

that push was so uncoordinated for valiant

[tawny sigil]

awkward zoom in on a random kid

[idle beacon]

i don't get this sombra crap all of a sudden

[woeful wolf]

maybe you have to restart

[errant kayak]

no

[north tendon]

lmao that face

[pearl stratus]

But I am glad to see Bunny getting some play.

[jovial jewel]

phew

[errant kayak]

I was joking

[idle beacon]

do they play with the buffed sombra ?

[slim summit]

You get 1 token for every map win

[pearl stratus]

I like Bunnys tracer, he's really aggressive.

[sinful fox]

@strong iris we literally JUST saw lucio sombra be run for a whole defense bruh what are u saying
