Might skip work Β―_(γ)_/Β―
I've just been watching vods its not all bad
I can't watch vods. I lose all hype
yeah
watching vods is just not the same
i might watch like a map
but its pretty boring in comparison
Got no real incentive to watch the rebroadcast cus my country doesnt want me to have OWL tokens :(
π
π³π± pls π³π±
I like the Highlight channels on Youtube too to watch
I wonder if we see more Taimou Winston
He didnt have a stand-out performance imo but he was solid
he's their main winston now methinks
I mean, if they went out of their way to have a dps retrain into an off tank role, it means they really wanna keep him in the squad
because they need his shot calling
To be fair, and no disrespect, but this was against Shanghai
Possible they just wanted to give it a go in a real match
imho, with their current squad, taimou either plays tank or doesn't play at all
He plays in both triple Tank and triple DPS lineups too so its not alll bad for him
More worried about Seagull
no, have your twitch account linked to your bnet account. You can do that from twitch
there are details linked in #overwatch-news
yeah seagull is gone
hi guys
seeing seagull reply on r/cow with his genji stats was sad :(
in triple dps I would see harry pick up the role, not him. Especially because that way they can revert to a standard 2-2-2 mid match
@magic zinc "with rascal now we have a genji on our team" -Taimou
really hope they can make something out for him, cuz i love watching him play
Oh no what did Seagull say
idk
that he wasnt erally allowed to play genji
and his stats are apparently the highest in the league right now
considering its a bit skewed
since he only played genji for 45 minutes
Triple dps is usually single tank isnt it, not single support
And after that Taimou can switch Hog for 2/2/2
the top post in r/competitiveoverwatch makes a good point about stats
Stats in OW need to be highlighted against league averages and based on team compositions. Of course a Lucio playing triple tank has 5k more healing than a lucio playing standard dive. It doesnt make them less impactful or imply they're doing better/worse. https://t.co/bunwycR65s
258
one stat during the first match said that Tobi had way more healing than Verbo despite playing his healing song less, but that could also be due to team comp
well
(though Tobi was also probably outplaying him)
the stats seagull posted
compare with averages
still interesting
esepecially considering he said he wasnt allowed to play genji too much
Winning Team Lucio usuallt gets more healing because his team doesnt die
I love stats but OW stats are difficult
stats are difficult in general
yeah
they can often be presented in misleading ways to the uninitiated
twitch chat goes crazy when stats show up and a mercy is 0-3
I hope we see more Triple Tank during the stage
I feel like it is now or never for tank comps with the map pool and Moira's power, but so far its still dive
We're back at the meta we had pre-Mercy...
most those teams have been running dive all along
Aka there's like 8 heroes played rip
so it is confirmed, leaving OWL on overnight does farm tokens
i'd imagine some teams with good rein/zarya players would play those on kings row
depending what they play against
I'd kill to see more Zarya wew
It seems like the teams I root for incidentally have bad Zaryas and get stomped on Control Center
I like Mickie's new hair
mickies pink hair is going to carry fuel
THEY DIDNT PLAY XQC
or cocco or seagull of chipshajen
SOME BS
"if pigs can fly"
Why isn't Fuel appreciating xQc?? He's the best player in the league
He is really god
if florida wins i'll cut off my ####
Yeah, they're only a bottom tier team because they won't play xQc
well yeah, they also did before the first stage
xQc= trash
expressing that potential is a different thing
xQLULc
people like them more?
but whyyyyy
London are the stage 1 champions
Profit literally flipped off the camera, how edgy is that?!
Seoul are the antagonists of the league
edgelord
seoul is the classic old school korean team, XL has good online presence and won the regular season
Spitfire are the cunts who stole the only EU spot and filled it with koreans
they won stage 1 for all of EU
and yall resent them for their eye shape
smh my head
I think they'll beat Mayhem
how are the playoffs gonna work
This stage already
they explained the playoffs pretty clearly in the uhhh
the end season playoffs?
rulebook
yeah it came out like a few days ago or something
We should probs have it pinned or in the announcement channel tbh
Data from the end of stage 1, not including yesterday's matches: https://i.imgur.com/lt2fv1S.png
so the top 3 teams from each division
The Divions thing kinda throws me off in this setup
yeah, it's strange
Shanghai is win all of the league
stage 1 playoffs were bo5 or bo7?
Because they play inter-division anyway
Bo5
Bo5
anyone remember when shanghai won a map against seoul
remember when it became rigged in them vs dallas
that made me so mad
they clearly unpaused when roadhog was afk
lest it would have been a full hold
I think the division leaders thing is just a systems compromise
Giving 2 teams a free pass into the semis gives you 4 semis matches
if you just did the top 6 teams, you'd have 3
and need to run a losers' bracket
or you'd need to include 4 or 8 teams in the quarters
I still don't think I understand how they want to handle season 2. Do they really want to keep such a long and full schedule with teams playing in their home arenas? That's a ton of transoceanic flights
Yeah ... it doesn't seem very feasible
do I have to give 100 bits to get the tracer skin?
yes
oh π¦
even though its
I thought they were just for everyone
a bad skin
whats the best match in the league so far
to you so i can waste 30 mins
USA vs South Korea in world cup
Outlaws winning
nah
ya
I didn't watch the game yesterday so who won between Glads and Shock?
I didn't watch the last one I mean
glads
hey hey
Score?
4-0

App has never crashed for me
has all the info you need neatly packaged
you on Android?
shanghai is gon win the league
you know I am
Kappa
then I suppose you're used to apps crashing
not really
I didnt watch at all yesterday, Mercy nerf is in affect right?
Let's go Outlaws
kinda
They still use Mercy on Widow and Pharah tbh
@humble moth but still played in some games
yes, Mercy is nerf
mercy nerf is in effect, she is played less now
But the rest they don't
fuel used her
So yeah she's nerfed now
lucio/zen is the main healer duo, but the other 3 healers see play as well
shes still important cause she can rez so shes gonna be played, was just wondering if her nerf was active
no tank?
soloq ladder comp
lol
That family is so cute lol
at least they had a healer

J LUK AKE
Would be pissed if Outlaws beat Spitfire because they couldn't get the job done in the Stage 1 finals
i fucked that up
jakerat is best rat
I only got 11 tokens yesterday π¦ Feels bad
chris fuckit
I wonder if 1 is still yet to arrive
But I'd still root for Outlaws lol
if outlaws win they're #2

they were already #2 so yes
man my outlaws looking thicc
why aren't they dabbing
what headest are those anyone know?
they're signing whom?
where is jake
also clockwork playing OwO
J LUL AKE
Fuck this man they losin' now
Those headsets are 100% the reason everyone was sick in stage 1
london koreans
wow
they each have their own lol
Bro is Jake benched? Lmfao
they only share monitor and pc, they bring their own mouse, keyboard and headest
birdring looks evil
um
where the hell is jake?????
I'd like to report a missing person
reinforce β€
@brisk loomguy lmao
I hope Jake's absence gives London an easy win
stfu easymac


like when shanghai didnt play jehong and they got destroyed
I hope Clockwork won't disappoint
he usually doesn't
Are these emotes you can get for cheering bits on Twitch just twitch emotes? Or in game things?
those korean sayings sure sound weird in english
Linkzr deliver us please
like, they made it sound more mean spirited than I think it was intended



IS THAT NEPAL
+
its volksya

are there new posters on the walls?
Yes cool Matt play Hanzo plz
that giant zarya
Someday Muma will play sym for me
J LUL AKE
Boink is a Lucio main ain't he?
So Zaryaβs always been on the wall or was I just blind?
outlaws π¦
C'mon Outlaws
Muma is gay
I gotta say, these coloured effects are really really nice
man,no mercy means soldier is more viable,right?
bad
EMP charges stupid fast
6 ult
Profit and Birdring are without a doubt the best DPS suo in the league
sombra only works here because they're so coordinated
They barely caught that bth
I'm pretty Sombra getting ult this fast is the reason why Blizzard removed that ult charge on the PTR
why do teams love throwing away point B to 1v6 on point A
what
sombra throwing
I didn't watch yesterday's matches - did we see any mercy play yesterday?
Got some mercy play




Well
loving the ana play
My bois
spitfire sux

HOUSTON

@silk linden same
ez clep
Clockwork got a kill yet?

he's a ladykiller
Cool! Thanks. As someone who prefers mercy when playing supports, I don't like the nerf. But at the same time, for esports, I like that it opens the comps up to some new things.
no jake?
nope
"give enough rope to hand yourselves"
no
i guess jake is useless now with the junkie nerf
Muma
@humble moth what
he didnt get traded tho
teams on attack like to joke pick before the round starts
dat troll
Muma always memes sym
Symmetra HYPERLUL
Never plays anything but Winston with coolmatt decent on dva
Personally surprised to see widow right now
muma is actually a bonkers rein
Losing 52% Widow ult feelsbadman
Man I had to google really fast b/c even the idea of jake going away terrifies me lol
too bad for the meta
lol
londons attacking yes?
yeah
LOOK AT SOMBRA ULT CHARGE
look next to their name
It was flying up my god
i can only listen to sound currently
sombra's getting nerfed come stage 3
so get used to these fast emps
EMP OP 
@south quest usually conversations outside of the livestream is genuine enough to valid any trades here
im trying to fix my tv so thats why
gg ez
sounds intense
Damn
She went from 14 to 70 during a lull in less than 20 seconds
2 ticks already
Lmao
You almost wanna bait out the EMP and then immediately run away
They all throw
the coolest of matts
lol easily the coolest matt I know of
Dayum the emp build up
Sombra doesn't get ult charge from hacked health packs anymore, right?
not sure why LSF are still running Zen considering it's constant hardcounter
Damn
xavier wood


Oohhh
ez clep
@cerulean heron that patch is gonna come in stage 3
muma leans back so far
HELPMEONPOINTPLEASE
Lmao
"HELPMEONPOINTPLEASE"
rekt
PLEASE KILL COOL MATT PLEASE
The guy hates London
Wow fuck you I live in London it's a fantastic city
this commentary 
I loved London when I visited
so do i
WOW:MercyWut:
I've been to NYC, as a Londoner, and London is a million times nicer
I've never been to London so not sure

I've been to London but it wasn't raining so i can't comment
well duh, NYC is gross
London is clean
NYC is way too crowded for starters
mercy still best healer
if you headshot while getting boosted by boink, do you do dinks or boinks? π€
My only complaint with London is everything shits down to early. It's not a 24/7 City which I was surprised by
@tawny sigil 
WE'VE BEEN RUMBLED
ez
Mr G, they were doing fine as they were
If they dove to save the one tick, they'd have lost 3
sombra is gonna be a necessity now
It'd be cool if they added the logos to the killfeed
omg im gonna have a stroke
I wish they just made one team's text be black and one team's be white
I mean they do
I mean like, healthbars
the colors are each teams color
Yeah yeah
can we talk about that ref
is that anita sarkeesian as referee? what is she doing there
Like I'm not saying "OH MY GOD IT'S AWFUL" I'm just like "Eh, I'm the outlier and it's a little difficult sometimes"
who looks like the face of the feminist movement
yeah
Ref gonna eat Houston soon
@true vigil lol

i bet
has sym been played yet
Nope
Lmao the chat was cleared
Still the only hero to have 0 playtime in OWL
@true vigil she's a real life tracer
Torb has been played?
I massively approve of Mcree
sym will not be played seriously ever
only gold and plat play symmetra
Torb has been played in a couple of games
ugh
i fucking love london
This is gonna be a tie smh
that was fast
i think london wins this
na EZ to get that tick
I've never been to London but I'd love to go there
gg
clutch trance
LETS GO
yeeee london
BOOM
EZ Clap
gotem
Damn

MY BOY BIRDRING

Woah that Winston clutch on ultimate lucio
GG

"Been here all-" Zenn: "QQQQQQQQQ"


LOL @sinful heron
Lol
OH SHIT Xavier Woods in the house
whats an Xavier Woods?
LUL
finally different music
i wonder if paige is here too
Poggers
I leave my comp for a minute and a round iss already over what happened?!
houston got flooded
outlaws choked
I mean, London also played pretty well
They got a new nice music eh
Let's not make this one-sided now
nah
outlaws are trying a new player and tactics
outlaws did really well tbh
good match
like I support london but yeah outlaws did good
LOL
is houston doing well?
LETS GO LONDON
I'm from the uk
so
so naturally I'm a london supporter
all the players are from south korea
ik xdddd
Lmao
LET'S GO LONDON

so really you're supporting south korea
it's just closest to where I am so
LSF EZ CLAP

At least its not North Korea xd
lol im just giving you shit


Oh no

london is the closest team to where I live as well but fuck me if I'm gonna support them
I mean I believe in even games, not that a team is better just cuz I like them
^
Support whoever you want to support jesus christ who cares.
somones grumpy
yeah ik, I just dont wanna come off as that fanboy that only likes 1 team because why not
I feel every team is good
im that fanboy for houston
they are pros after all
@humble moth
like shanghai is bad in the league, but they are still pros
ok ima go back to watching strem
they would still beat any of us
hugs @sinful heron
maybe
β€
ok bdosin is a lad

Yeah he is
Nepal now, god I love that map
this guy looks as dumb as his name
when they talk about jjonak and just refer to him as "you-know-who"
THICCUS
JAKE!!
JAKE
yay jake
jake is so fit damn
Jake's adorable af
houston has the handsome gamers
J LUL AKE

J
K E
matt, jake, rawkus too

honestly mickie is the cutest owl player lets be real
nepal is my fav koth map probably
To boot or not to boot
Nepal such a good map
ryujehong is the most handsome korean player
Did sym just get a second of playtime from the late swap?
rawkus looks like that one kid from Even Stevens
someone should just get 1 elim with symmetra, they would technically be the best sym player in the league
I wanna see joke comps during the late games of the last stage when nothing matters

Welp there goes that push
linkzr with the hardcarry
linkzr is the best player in a stacked team
linkzr is such a freakin beast
Hi all
I feel like Profit didn't know where the dva bomb was
what I don't get is, since Jake is playing tracer anyway, why did they field clockwork earlier then
gg ez
GO
π
ez
maybe they want the flex option
DAMNNNN houston did good
damn
jake has definitely made a better impact
clockwork is a way better tracer than jake, but i guess jake might be important for teamwork/coms which is why he keeps on playing normally
ez c lep
why are they so happy?
Houston won a point on control my god
same with Rawkus tbh
i mean the outlwas
ok bye for now again xd
That hype man in the crowd
bye
oh ok
Dying as Pharah to a Tracer is the worst feeling
i want EU/PC on my tag too
it happens
"How can she kill me at that range wtf"
tracer is a great pharah counter
McCree is better imo
well duh
duhhhhhhhhhh
uh muh guh points
I THINK THAT WIDOW MIGHT BE USEFUL AGAINST A PHARAH
monkey is a great counter to pharah too, apparently
monkey is the best pharah counter
π
especially a melee only monkey
but mccree is better imo
Dva is good
Reinhardt counters all
against pharah
But mostly Pharah
gesture with the hard carry
Soldier 76 is a great Pharah counter too
the best pharah counter is dva

soldier is a good counter but not as effective as people think
genji is a pretty good counter too
Sym also
mercy
sym is best counter
genji is terrible against pharah at the pro level on maps with a high skybox
in those situations, i suggest rein as a hard counter to pharah
Everyone can counter Pharah ez
the best pharah kills though is when you watch an ulting mercy chase a pharah in the sky
sometimes even a zen that doesnt shoot the pharah, but keeps discord on pharah is enough to annoy her
Switching gotit
what was the ult?
BRING OUT THE FIST
i was busy spamming about pharah counters
he wanted to switch the doom i guess so he just used his ult
screw tracer, hes needs to get on junkrat
ooft
Tried to 1v6 with blade on point
he went 1v4 blade on point
I'm actually surprised that Moira hasnt been played more
she's so broken on group oriented modes
wow
oh well then xd

I can hear Jake chewing his gum with his mouth open 
Pre-nerfed they would have been rezzed anyway
fair
π 
jakerat my love
JAKE IS MAD BECAUSE HE IS BAD
SOMEBODY KILL COOLMATT! PLEASE!
THE DOUBLE YOINK
THE TRADE
the orisa trade lmao

the balrog!
Lmao
it's still possible
Orisa trade was funny
Has 6 Limbs
Quadruped
lol
hog can't balrog anymore, but orisa can
rekt
noice
π 
EZ CLAP
good match
i hate junkrat so much

the audience signs are one of the best part of the blizzard arena
J
K E
just counter him then
just click his head
how
shields
oh
dva
tbh yeah the posters are amazing
mei
dead meme
mei can already ride walls
find some new material
DamN tOugh CROWd
let bastion wallride in sentry mode
OMg yes
I'm liking this new music
same
i want the ominous stuff back
"Make Roadhog double jump"
rocket league music
give roadhog armor packs
ok we have covered all of the movement passives
I keep getting ads for monster hunter world and its annoying cuz I wanna play it π¦
now we can stop
roadhog should be able to use his chain like widow
I can imagine that
give tracer Sombra's Opportunist passive
that would be terrifying honestly
maybe not upwards into the air
i cant wait for stage 3 cus that'll prolly be when Dallas Fuel gets ripped
it should work like tracer or moira, just a horizontal level
the other day we were talking about their chairs and that they were Herman Miller, but i saw some Vertagear and they seem even better, well they not for my wallet so i ended up getting a Nobblechairs Epic very happy with it, sitting on it right now and π
but going back to it, Vertagear Triigger 350 for example is awesome and costs much less then Herman Miller and it's better for the reviews i saw
London (Korean) Spitfire
go London go
go Houston go
what monitors are they using

asus rog?
dells
they have 240 hz monitors, not sure which one
omen, it's their sponsor
probably only for stage 1

oh yeah
also monitors are Asus ROG PG258Q
there was toyota
yesus
Lol
so has chat just not watched any of the cinematics
this calm music
I don't mind the twitch chat lol
this music is in the cinematics
They spam all the time
is what he is saying
So I'm used to it
this coach is RIPPED
The jerseys look so much nicer on adult man bodies
Where he and a bunch of other WWE Superstars play video games
instead of skinny boy bodies
NEW DAY ROCKS
and chubby bubbys
imo that's a big design flaw with the jersey
Xavier makes anything look good
NEW π DAY ROCKS
YOU SCREW PAIGE
NEW

ROCKS
YOU SCREW PAIGE
that shiny thin shit shows off the boobs
Also I'd like to point out how much better at interviews this guy is

Well that was awful
houston is doing so fuckin good tonight

if london doesn't win this stage i am going to become a philly fan
na ult
london
defense london
defense london
defense
looks like my random comps
Profit is mad because is he bad
they making sucha a cocky thing, in the end we will talk, they didn't won yet
ZARYA YO
Seeing zarya makes me so happy
spitfire probably haven't played against a Hanzo since beta
That would be the dream
Koreans overrated, long have we waited, Caucasians activated
they don't even know what his abilities are
LOL
MUMA STOP TEASING US FFS
I play with a Sym main and every time Muma has teased, he has genuinely gotten excited
i feel like saying to muma for his cockyness what xqc said but no im not xenophobic or homophobic so im not
I am so confused by this
why are they not fucking on it
if this was comp you'd get reported lul
i probably get reported a lot
i think everyone does
I shouldn't have gold elims damage and healing as zen
competitive is a toxic mess
Someone reported me last night because I only got 2 people in my grav π¦
Bro they all died
I ususally stack with people so I don't get the toxicity
but it's more fun as a team anyway
takes to long to find a game
i don't have friends π
they're not IRL friends lol
mercy still no.1 healer
discord people
in quick play we had a honzo and a widow and someone made a comment saying "we need more snipers" so i went ana
we won lol
ana is more reliable dps than a bad widow lol
fax
why do they bounce crouch like that when they're alone all the time
are they just that tweaked out on aderaal
Silent
whaddaya know, playing the objective is a valid strat
COME ON... you dont even have second point yet and you're below their time
And fasting than crouch walking
ahh gotcha
literaly brain dead
houston are a machine
wtf london
no one on cart LUL
are they throwing
that was the dont push the cart strat
report london for throwing
no one was pushing.. tilted
woods should do the old wrestling trope of removing his spitfire shirt to show a outlaw shirt
rare strat
turn heel
LOL JAKE
@spiral summit in OW we call that a "Montecristo"

by way of shirts
J LUL KE
they literally ignored the payload that was hilarious
this is gonna be an embarassing defeat lmao
Reflect on CD, killed through it anyway
hold Houston! come on!
common london
damn
NO BLADE 4 U
only took 10 years
crazy what happens when you play the objective
you guys are armchair coaching a lot right now
NVM
EU EU EU EU EU
