[pearl stratus]

But I'd find a way.

[onyx shore]

well,let's just disable the twitch chat shall we?

[pearl stratus]

Oh I did, lol

[onyx shore]

no i mean

the league

[pearl stratus]

They probably should, tbh.

[onyx shore]

the twitch channel owner

[pearl stratus]

But.

[jagged crater]

gettin mad @ twitch? wtf

[pearl stratus]

Cheers are money.

[jagged crater]

it's twitch chat, just how it goes

[onyx shore]

by gawd this game surely becomes pussywatch

[dusk garden]

wtf was that laugh

[rough night]

i think having team channels in twitch chat is a good move

[brisk roost]

😂

[dusk garden]

sounded like a hyena

[rough night]

numlocked's idea

[pearl stratus]

Poor Gladiators.

[jagged crater]

can we get a team called the benchbois

[pearl stratus]

I don't forsee this going well.

[silk linden]

numlocked to leave Val and become a consultant for the OWL

[jagged crater]

grimreality, mendo, numlocked, avast, snow

[onyx shore]

iddqd also benched until now

[jagged crater]

iddqd

😦

[silk linden]

who plays off tank?

we have 3 dps there

[pearl stratus]

IDDQD was another one who was so sick he basically missed his play window, right?

[jagged crater]

i dont think there's an offtank permabench

[pearl stratus]

I mean you can argue the Zarya specialists people have picked up like Spree on Houston were like that in Stage 1.

But not now.

[jagged crater]

spree was benched until king's row

now he's spree's row

[silk linden]

seagull is mickie's backup

[jagged crater]

seagull is looking up to be permabenched too

[pearl stratus]

I'm surprised we haven't seen Poko Zarya.

Since Poko was like... world class insane Zarya before going D'va.

[jagged crater]

so seagull can maybe be flex for bench bois

[silk linden]

main tank cocco/numlocked

[jagged crater]

numlocked got absolutely 0 playtime , not even scrim time

that's a feelsbad

he's just sitting there

[silk linden]

Val is being pretty retarded with that not gonna lie

[jagged crater]

at least other teams will take out the bench palyers for weaker teams

[tawny sigil]

this cheer for loot thing is kinda fucked up... lets donate money to billionair guys

[silk linden]

like I'm not saying change roster every game, but that's just ridiculous

[jagged crater]

like mistakes vs mayhem just now

[onyx shore]

@tawny sigil nobody forced you to donate dude

[pearl stratus]

Twitch is trying to remake some of the $60 million they gave to Blizzard.

[tawny sigil]

im not donating and anyone that does is brain dead

[pearl stratus]

Or just not poor.

It's like $5.

Oh no. My morning coffee 😦

WHAT WILL I DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[silk linden]

give it to a homeless person

[pearl stratus]

Nope. No cash to homeless.

Only food/clothing.

[onyx shore]

it's like donating to your favorite streamer,he's surely rich already

@pearl stratus true,donate money to hobo,and he'll spend it on crack and booze

[tawny sigil]

homeless dont want your money most of the time

[silk linden]

donate it to a shelter then

stop being on my case

[pearl stratus]

I'm not, I don't disagree with helping the homeless.

[onyx shore]

and the skin from cheer isnt even good

[pearl stratus]

I just do it with the actual food/clothing items.

[rough night]

charity starts at home..... i need my fix of compulsive spending... its my addiction

[pearl stratus]

Since I know what the money is being spent on.

[onyx shore]

standard skin with owl logo

not even worth a dollar imo

[tawny sigil]

whats wrong with beggars using begged money for drugs

[jagged crater]

daaam those girls are lookin out for fleta

[rough night]

i hate the guilt tripping charities do

[pearl stratus]

It's also all relative .

Like for me dropping $5 isn't much.

But one of my friends drops ~$700/mo on a mobile game he likes.

So he'd look down even on my $5.

[rough night]

someones spent over £3000 on bits on that leaderboard

[pearl stratus]

Yeah money is relative.

3000 is a lot to some, not to others.

[jagged crater]

who's #1

[tawny sigil]

well anyone cheering keep in mind you're donating to a billionair

[pearl stratus]

So?

[jagged crater]

3k is not that much tbh, ive seen donations to streamers way higher

[onyx shore]

yeah,my friend spent 3k $ on his gaming pc,but spend almost 0$ on games

[pearl stratus]

People still use Amazon.

[onyx shore]

[pearl stratus]

People buy iPhones.

[rough night]

lioran.... all your doing is stating the obvious

[visual glen]

Hopefully Glads can take at least 1 map even if they lose

[tawny sigil]

that removes uour right to ever complain about the rich

[pearl stratus]

What the fuck do you do that ISN'T donating to billionaires?

[rough night]

Lioran... wrong

[onyx shore]

wrong,you have right to complain about any single thing

[rough night]

i complain about whatever i want

when i want.....

[pearl stratus]

He probably has an iphone too.

And wants to complain about cheering on twitch.

[tawny sigil]

i dont even have a fucking phone

[pearl stratus]

Well thats because no one would call your bitter ass.

[tawny sigil]

check mate athiest

[onyx shore]

what you're doing now is also complaining too,lioran

[rough night]

Lioran ... ive got a 3 iphones in my kitchen draw.... you want one ?

[jagged crater]

seoul dynasty is like a boyband

[onyx shore]

did it feel good?

[shy wind]

atheist.

[jagged crater]

they're so popular

so many fangirls

[tawny sigil]

if i get a phone its not gonna be a brain washed phone

[pearl stratus]

Yet its SBB who has the boy band hair.

You see SBBs hair?

Also Houston is definitely the boy band.

[rough night]

Lioran ...your not antifa are you ?

[onyx shore]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/81g0an/the_amount_of_time_left_when_saebyeolbe_reset/

i still love this reset

BM deadeye and got rekt

[pearl stratus]

Dude.

If they let me just spectate SBB for the entire game I'd be so happy.

[rough night]

SBB needs drug testing

[pearl stratus]

He's a cyborg.

[onyx shore]

oh

[tawny sigil]

enable in game cam viewing

thaT'd be sick

[onyx shore]

i'm sure if they do drug testing

[rough night]

never gonna happen.... lioran

[onyx shore]

some of them will get caught using PED

[pearl stratus]

It depends on what they'd consider drugs and stuff too.

[onyx shore]

aderall

[pearl stratus]

Because half of the fuckers are ADHD already.

[rough night]

Ritalin

[pearl stratus]

Also jesus christ.

[onyx shore]

if you're on medication for adhd then it's okay

[pearl stratus]

I just looked up Numlocked on liquipedia.

And he looks so greasy I could style hair after his face.

Gross.

[rough night]

lol harsh

[pearl stratus]

They did NOT use a flattering picture for him.

[onyx shore]

xqc is probably clean though,he probably consume too much sugar

[pearl stratus]

He probably NEEDS the ritalin.

He'd take it and just stop being retarded.

[rough night]

am i the only one who gets a lesbian vibe from soe ?

dunno if its the hair

[onyx shore]

she's married though

[pearl stratus]

Its because you're thinking she looks like Tracer.

[brisk roost]

@rough night Because Tracer is a les

[rough night]

nah...

[brisk roost]

And she looks like Tracer

So there you go

[indigo barn]

idc if soe is les i'd still smash

[brisk roost]

Lmfao

[rough night]

its the short hair... and posture i think

[pearl stratus]

I like the entire OW league freaking out when they saw Linkzr's girlfriend.

[rough night]

its very tomboy'ish

[onyx shore]

i have a friend who acts like xqc,when he cut his sugar intake,that hyper behaviour decreased dramatically

[brisk roost]

@pearl stratus I didn't see that tbh

I wish I was there xD!

[pearl stratus]

Dude.

[indigo barn]

if you are the face of esports then yeah it be pretty easy to pick up a chick

[pearl stratus]

Linkzr scored WAY outside his league.

Good for that dude.

[brisk roost]

I didn't watch the first couple matches of stage 1

[pearl stratus]

I guess his mouse isn't the only thing Linkzr taps well.

[indigo barn]

what did linkzr play before overwtach

[rough night]

mma

[indigo barn]

not tf2??? 😮

[rough night]

Jesus christ...... that cannot be his Wuman

shes a paid actor

[brisk roost]

MMA?

[rough night]

mixed martial arts

[indigo barn]

he probably played hardcore csgo

[pearl stratus]

I don't think he really played anything pro level before OW.

[brisk roost]

So Linkzr knows some MMA?

Didn't know that

[onyx shore]

he was joking

[rough night]

^

[brisk roost]

Lmao

Fuckin UFC shit man

[onyx shore]

how the hell you see linkzr and think "hmmm this guy is an mma fighter"

if it's dhak i'd believe it

[humble moth]

what up

[whole mulch]

Dhak jacked

who would have thought he'd be a mercy main in stage 1

[rough night]

if Dhak spent as much effort on his Gym Work ....as he did practicing not dying....

hold on...

[pearl stratus]

Zzzz.

Call me when Fleta is on Widow.

Also who knows with MMA.

[rough night]

wtf was shaz doing

[pearl stratus]

Remember that little kid from Jerry Maquire?

The neighbors rabbit kid

He's in MMA now.

[rough night]

honestly...

[pearl stratus]

So who knows.

[rough night]

white ranger is an mma fighter too

or green ranger....

[humble moth]

green > white

[tawny sigil]

why do they keep doing this

[humble moth]

he was a bitch as the white ranger

[rough night]

Soul FeedNasty

[tawny sigil]

everysingle time they attack at 80% done they snow ball so bad

glad suck , can't win on snowball

[rough night]

wtf

[humble moth]

c9

[rough night]

hydrations runs in

[tawny sigil]

they're losing a 2v6 wtf

[rough night]

no one followed

NA Eyebrows

[pearl stratus]

Good job.

You made Fleta go widow.

[whole mulch]

tobi ana?

[pearl stratus]

He's not great at Zen

[serene tendon]

that was nasty

[pearl stratus]

Munchkin and Bunny are both really good tracers.

[azure harbor]

[indigo barn]

and they have wekeed for genji

[pearl stratus]

Hydration has been -really- bad STage 2.

[rough night]

[pearl stratus]

He's also randomly out of position so often.

It's super noticeable on his Genji.

[sly fiber]

was that an actual c9 or more of a just if they tried to rush point they would have died anyway with all the ults going on?

[pearl stratus]

It was Seoul having better Shotcall.

And pushing hard into them when they had no ults.

Hydration pushed up, got split and killed away from his team.

And Seoul pushed into them with the 6v5.

[rough night]

nah they had trans on..... they could have pushed with it... atleast

[pearl stratus]

And ult advantage.

[indigo barn]

80% hook accuracy for hydration tho

and they stayed back there

[humble moth]

so seoul sucks this stage? I havent been following them

[rough night]

i dont get the Seoul situations

how do you go from literally unbeatable..... to losing every other game

[pearl stratus]

Seouls good this stage.

Want the answer in a single work Bleachy?

Mercy.

[lethal plank]

just turned it on. come on LA /hates seoul with a passion

[pearl stratus]

They maintained on pure team skill and cohesion for the first half of Stage 1, despite not playing well with Mercy and having no healer who really was good at her.

[rough night]

in stage one.... if someone would of said that seoul were accused of throwing for money.... i would have beleived it

[pearl stratus]

When other teams caught up to cohesion and had good Mercy, they just outpaced Seoul.

Now Seoul doesn't have to rely on a hero that none of them play well.

[humble moth]

that would make them better

that doesnt explain why they suck

[pearl stratus]

Which they are now.

"I haven't watched them at all" Instantly makes comment on a team thats wrong on a team thats 3-0 this stage so far.

[humble moth]

im guessing your a seoul fanboy

[pearl stratus]

Nope. I just get amused when people use their anus as their primary form of communication.

[lethal plank]

fuck seoul, go dallas (even tho dallas lost to them ;-; )

[humble moth]

oh youre one of those

[sly fiber]

oh dear Seoul has all of their ults

[pearl stratus]

Well lets recap "I haven't followed Seoul." "They're good in Stage 2." "Then why do they suck."

[humble moth]

^

[pearl cedar]

too many ults

[lethal plank]

Nooooooo

[pearl cedar]

but that was super close

[pearl stratus]

Glad wasn't following up ont he far high ground.

They managed the right side high ground well.

[pearl cedar]

gladiators playing way better than they have all stage imo

[pearl stratus]

But never tried to retake the ledge.

[pearl cedar]

if they can keep playing like they just did, they might be able to make this a close set

[pearl stratus]

Also Seoul is just good at assault maps.

[indigo barn]

seoul's dives flow like water

[pearl stratus]

Most teams with swiss army knife players are good at assault I've noticed.

[lethal plank]

10-10 lul

[sly fiber]

didn' t seoul always try to retake that ledge on defense? maybe they were afraid to try the same thing

[pearl stratus]

I.E. Libero.

Seoul did retake it more often than not, Seoul is having some weirdness on defense where they occassionally do these really really overaggressive dives.

And its really high risk high reward.

Like last time they played Volskaya they destroyed themselves on point A defense by being super aggressive.

[sly fiber]

i haven't been following them too closely, are they uber aggressive against every team or is it only against lower tier teams where they think they can get away with it?

[lethal plank]

i wish they sold sour patch kids here in Japan ;-;

[pearl stratus]

All right now, at least for the three games this stage.

A lot of teams are coming into Stage 2 with really aggressive play.

Philly being the most successful with it by far.

[sly fiber]

ok cool, personally i like watching all these aggressive plays

[pearl stratus]

Yeah its why I like Eqo.

While Shadowburn is leaps and bounds a better Genji his play style is too methodical and perfect.

It's kind of boring to watch sometimes since he holds his blades for so long sometimes.

Whereas Eqo just kind of ults, gets more ults, and ults more.

[whole mulch]

Isn't WhoRu on Fusion's roster

[pearl stratus]

Their Contenders roster.

[whole mulch]

Ah ok

[pearl stratus]

He's only like 16.

[whole mulch]

yeah but teams are picking people up young so other teams don't get them

[pearl stratus]

They're treating it like baseball, basically.

Creating their own farm teams.

[cursive talon]

cash on on them contracts

[whole mulch]

IDDQD is getting paid to just be benched

they're probably going to trade him

I suppose they didn't want another team to pick him up

[sly fiber]

can't contenders players get picked up by other teams if they want?

[whole mulch]

I'm not sure, if they are on the OWL team's academy team

[cursive talon]

so long as they are not in an academy?

[whole mulch]

If they are not then yes

they can be picked up

that is what Contenders is for right now

Open Division is there to get picked up for Contenders

then Contenders players get scouted by OWL

[pearl stratus]

Yeah I'm sure the farm teams are contractually written that they're the teams for OWL when they need them or want to trade them

[onyx shore]

i wish there's a tournament skin (at least red and blue color) for tier-2 or tier-3 tournament

[pearl stratus]

It's basically being used as OWL Minor Leagues.

Non-franchise teams are for scouting.

[onyx shore]

i can't go back watching default skin

[whole mulch]

Some decent players are in Contenders atm

[pearl stratus]

Yep.

Also need to remember.

There's a bunch of teams joining for Season 2, apparently.

[whole mulch]

yeah the spectator mode for other tournaments looks weird now

yeah

actually I heard the WWE was considering an OWL team

[pearl stratus]

And Boston proved that you can put together a bunch of people and while you may not win, they can do well.

[onyx shore]

@whole mulch WWE? wut

[whole mulch]

Yeah

[pearl stratus]

I mean the Patriots bought a team.

Why not.

[whole mulch]

Xavier Woods is a huge Spitfire fan, and he even goes to the stadium to watch

he said the WWE is following esports

[onyx shore]

i just hope they wont put scripted drama inside a team video

[sly fiber]

that's pretty cool actually

[whole mulch]

and considering an esports team

[pearl stratus]

I bet we'll get another London/UK team too.

Since the UK is embracing the Fifa E-sport pretty heavily.

I wouldn't be surprised if some premier league team buys an OW team

[whole mulch]

https://clips.twitch.tv/SnappyOilyFriseeTBTacoRight

this dude is a WWE professional wrestler

lol

[onyx shore]

yeah i know xavier woods

from that leaked paige tape

lul

[brisk roost]

Xavier Woods is a gamer lol

[whole mulch]

yeah

[brisk roost]

He's like a nerd in WWE

[loud hemlock]

I wouldn't be surprised if any major European club gets an OW team

[pearl stratus]

Maybe we'll get Vin Diesel and Terry Cruz to buy a OW team.

[loud hemlock]

Regardless if it is England or not

[ruby pendant]

@pearl stratus lol

[brisk roost]

Vin Diesel plays Overwatch?

[pearl stratus]

I only mention England because a bunch of the premier league stadiums are being built with E-sport stadiums in them now @loud hemlock

[brisk roost]

I know Terry Cruz does

[onyx shore]

i actually prefer established esport orgs

like

i wonder why there's no Navi

[pearl stratus]

Vin Diesel is a huge nerd.

[onyx shore]

in overwatch

[pearl stratus]

Like giant nerd.

[onyx shore]

heck

EG tried

[whole mulch]

Quite a few famous people play OW

[loud hemlock]

Shalke already has LoL team though @pearl stratus

[pearl stratus]

Plays WoW, D&D, etc.

[onyx shore]

or at least Alliance

[whole mulch]

Elon Musk plays Overwatch

[onyx shore]

too bad EG's overwatch team failed

[whole mulch]

that multi billionaire

[loud hemlock]

What doesn't Elon Musk do?

[brisk roost]

Lmao

[whole mulch]

so does terry crews, deadmau5, zedd, conan o'brian

xavier woods

• many others

[pearl stratus]

I mean for a lot of those organizations they're not always able to afford it @onyx shore

$20 million isn't small.

[brisk roost]

I did not know that lol

I hope Marshmello plays Overwatch

[whole mulch]

Yeah the buy-in for OWL is really expensive

[brisk roost]

Lol

That'd be lit

[whole mulch]

he might actually

[pearl stratus]

Well $20 just for the buy in, then you have salaries/food/housing, etc.

[onyx shore]

i thought that 20m buy in isn't fix?

[whole mulch]

It isn't fixed

[pearl stratus]

No its fixed.

[brisk roost]

How do you know this btw?

[whole mulch]

depends on country and other stuff

but the orgs need to pay for players' insurance + 80k average wage + gaming houses

[pearl stratus]

I mean yeah, but it always equates out to roughly $20million US.

[whole mulch]

transportation

[cursive talon]

ugh that tac

[quasi stump]

fleta wat

[lethal plank]

lul fletta throw

[cursive talon]

nice

[zinc schooner]

NO, no blade there

[tawny sigil]

damn

[zinc schooner]

still worked I guess

[serene tendon]

noice

[visual glen]

Naisu

[sly fiber]

Gladiators did well there

[pearl stratus]

Fissure is apparently a hard carry tank now.

[tawny sigil]

hydration blade were pretty bad both maps... he does the exact same thing

[cursive talon]

always hoping for that game 5

[tawny sigil]

jump in front of soldier, blade, die

[visual glen]

Hydration kinda underperforming this stage

[loud hemlock]

I have a question. How do player swaps work in OW League?

[lethal plank]

from what i read

[cursive talon]

end of a set i think?

[lethal plank]

they can swap any time but the main team has to be picked hours before the start of the series

[whole mulch]

why did he just run forward into fleta while trying to blade..

[cursive talon]

or in between maps?

[pearl stratus]

@loud hemlock Its int he pins.

Scroll down

[loud hemlock]

Oh, thanks

[lethal plank]

a coach can tell the officials "we want to swap next game" anytime during the current game

[pearl stratus]

It's any time before the first point.

[lethal plank]

20-3 holy shit bishu

[pearl stratus]

So if you finish one teams attack on a control, you missed your opportunity.

[balmy wolf]

Dallas fuel are going to win

[lethal plank]

they better

or else i'm gonna riot

[balmy wolf]

They will

[lethal plank]

solo riot in tokyo

[balmy wolf]

Valiant is pretty mediocre stage 2

they are playing like la gladiators

[sly fiber]

hey is there a reason why jehong is underperforming?

at least compared to the other zen

[whole mulch]

None that we know, could be him getting used to mercyless meta

[lethal plank]

his family is being held hostage by the mafia and he has to follow their orders

[whole mulch]

2 seasons of mercy meta

[balmy wolf]

ryujehong is being focused right now. They need a lucio to protect him

or a brigitte*

[pearl stratus]

Tehy're not focusing RHJ.

They're focusing Fleta.

Take out the weapon, take out the team.

[cursive talon]

hmm target the shot caller. is that how Seoul loses?

[lethal plank]

speaking of bridget, why hasn't there been a new male hero since doomfist? moira, orisa, ana, sombra are all females (well for orisa made by a female)

[cursive talon]

fleta dies away from the team, he gets no heals

[balmy wolf]

I think seoul will win but biggoose needs to play nothing but lucio

he is pretty bad at any other healer

[pearl stratus]

Fissue is just silly.

He's hard carrying Glad right now.

[cursive talon]

fleta death inc

[sly fiber]

i'm not good enough to appreciate how incredible these players are but i'm still enjoying it a lot

[balmy wolf]

I mean Dallas Fuel focused the hell out of him last week.

[pearl stratus]

That overhead view explains that Tac visor a lot differently.

I thought it was just a bad tac.

But jesus.

Three people were on him like instantly.

[whole mulch]

"Let bastion fly"

keep an eye on twitter

[cursive talon]

easy to say it afterwards but what if he just retreats

[lethal plank]

i'd love a flying bastion hero

[tawny sigil]

are koreans genetically allergic to english?

[pearl stratus]

Why speak the barbarian language.

[lethal plank]

not really allergic but asians find english super hard to learn

[pearl stratus]

They elect racist carrots.

[serene tendon]

barn burner?

[torpid charm]

English is one of the hardest languages to learn

[pearl stratus]

Because its a bastardization of everything.

[torpid charm]

and I'm impressed with the way Glad is playing right now

[pearl stratus]

And we have the worst colloquialisms.

[lethal plank]

not sure bout korean (but i heard it was very similar to japanese) but my japanese students are scared to learn english because of high expectations of getting 100% on tests. I had a few kids get depressed for getting 90%+ on their final tests this past week

[torpid charm]

that's sad

[lethal plank]

it really is

[pearl stratus]

If I didn't speak english I'd be scared of english because the language is stupid as fuck,.

[lethal plank]

and these kids are 13+ btw

[pearl stratus]

How does read not rhyme with lead, but read can rhyme with lead.

[cursive talon]

surprised how there was only one tac kill this game.

[pearl stratus]

Also lets not forget that "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a sentence in english.

It is a grammatically correct sentence.

[torpid charm]

there's just too much to the English languages, too complex

[sly fiber]

English is terrible because if you dont speak it perfectly you get made fun of (my mom's been in America from the Philippines for 20+ years and still gets teased for occasionally mispronouncing a word)

[pearl stratus]

Whats the other stupid sentence I remember from school...

"James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher"

[lethal plank]

English is stupid. I mean let's look at past tense. slap => slapped. play => played. then you get stupid ones like get => got instead of gotted, swim => swam instead of swimmed and then you got the retarded ones like hit => hit instead of hitted

[sly fiber]

to be fair there's a poem in chinese with "Shi Shi Shi..." etc and it's an entire poem

[cursive talon]

i want to see mei play

[lethal plank]

i wanna see moar sombra play

[sly fiber]

it can be read fine, but speaking it is a nightmare

[cursive talon]

dammit music

[lethal plank]

lul

surefour!

i love sombra

she's so sexy

[final river]

This would be huge for them if gladiators win

[cursive talon]

every map matters

[lethal plank]

interesting

tracer + sombra

[pearl stratus]

The one sad thing is.

This is showing why I'm somewhat worried about Sombra going forward, cause less emps might be bad

[vagrant summit]

EMP is just too powerful. It can completely disable an entire team and in that patch she can get it pretty much every fight

[zinc schooner]

Yet it didn't work there.

[pearl stratus]

Seoul was super spread.

And used LoS really well.

[lethal plank]

and sombra switched ;-;

[pearl stratus]

The way Seoul is positioning (finally) its a smart switch

[zinc schooner]

Agreed. the counter to EMP is positioning and treating it like a Tire somewhat.

(that you can't hear, admittedly.)

[pearl stratus]

Fleta...

Just went AFTER a genji.

[vagrant summit]

She probably won't be used as much going forward though, that's true. With her more individual hack/dps focus I can't see her getting picked over other dps

[pearl stratus]

Fleta is a super aggressive widow its so fun to watch.

[tough holly]

Eh, Hack is really good, we might see a shift with Sombra

[pearl stratus]

It made me feel really bad for Dallas in their Seoul game.

Because they had no one to counter a widow.

[zinc schooner]

I think Sombra will be picked to neuter flankers/divers with hack

[pearl stratus]

So Fleta just walked all over them.

[tough holly]

Sombra also just outright counters Lucio right now

[vagrant summit]

O shit I totally forgot her hack disables more abilities now I changed my mind

[zinc schooner]

She craps on Lucio, Gengu and Tracer. And honestly. tracer has been OP for so long it's about time.

[pearl stratus]

Lmao.

[tough holly]

Like, the other healers can still heal, Lucio is the only one that get completely gets shut out when Hacked. Zenyatta also suffers, but it just means he can't move orbs around

[pearl stratus]

Watching Fissue just get punched to death

[normal fractal]

Tracer is fucking cancer

I won't miss her if she has 0% pickrate, honestly

[zinc schooner]

I love playing Tracer at times. But man, she's all OVER that place all the damn time. At OWL levels it's too much I think.

[azure harbor]

[pearl stratus]

I didn't even know Fleta played Doomfist

[zinc schooner]

ASHER!

WIth the Karma bomb

[torpid charm]

that was wild as fuck

[zinc schooner]

Indeed

[lethal plank]

;-;

[rough night]

high risk high reward

[torpid charm]

Glad got rolled on, that was painful to watch

[zinc schooner]

Miro no deaths on Rein?

[pearl stratus]

Miro got over his Stage 1 issues it would seem

[zinc schooner]

Maybe so.

These cards are for full map or last 10 min?

Numbers seemed off, but map was short from first LAG push I guess.

[rough night]

yeah thats what im wondering

like 5 deaths in total for the whole team

[zinc schooner]

right?

[rough night]

must be right

seoul seem to be very quick to call it a failed push

[zinc schooner]

ya that may have played into it

[rough night]

it seems they have 1 death and they pull back a bit

[zinc schooner]

Not bad if your're coordinated...

[rough night]

ye

saves feeding

[zinc schooner]

indeed. and if anything Seoul has some discipline.

[rough night]

lol bischuu was like "hey guys im just going top ill see if..... OOOOOH HOLY FUK!"

[zinc schooner]

lol

miro so good with those sightlines.

[rough night]

i would say fissure is performing better than miro in this stage

the guy just gets in and out of situations that he shouldnt be able to survive from

[zinc schooner]

agreed.

dart had him there for a sec tho

Odd seeing tobi on Ana

[rough night]

plus.... the impact he has made

[final river]

lul that dva bomb

[vagrant summit]

Zunba with the memes

[zinc schooner]

We just cursed him

man sadpanda.

[brisk roost]

Lmao Shaz tho

[zinc schooner]

thought LAG had at least 2 points.

[rough night]

again.... supports arent at the same level

[zinc schooner]

ye

[rough night]

fissure is super aggressive and the supports cant back him up

[zinc schooner]

Shaz can pop off on DPSyatta but yeah I agreee

[brisk roost]

That Mercy jumpscare 😂

[lethal plank]

hawt mercy

[zinc schooner]

toospooky4me

[serene tendon]

dive is just as boring as mercy meta

[brisk roost]

[visual glen]

Lol

[final river]

[zinc schooner]

oh man

[brisk roost]

That was fuckin fast

[lethal plank]

c9

[serene tendon]

[slim summit]

[lethal plank]

what a fucking c9

[polar pier]

c9

[brisk roost]

C9 that shit

[torpid charm]

wtf happened

[tough holly]

It has been 0 days since a C9

[vagrant summit]

fleta had them pinned down

[zinc schooner]

Not really a C9, but considering.... Calling it a C9.

[balmy wolf]

the gladiators are trash is what happened

[polar pier]

It's a c9 in our hearts.

[torpid charm]

I swear I always get sleepy and pass out on the last map

[slim summit]

didn't Glads beat Valiant in the preseason?

[brisk roost]

@torpid charm Seoul one shotted lol

[torpid charm]

W0W

[brisk roost]

Like they managed to full hold

Then just blitzed Glads after

[visual glen]

Well at least Glad's didn't go 0-4watch

[lethal plank]

i swear if kephrii gets picked up in OWL i will stop watching

[zinc schooner]

Not gonna happen hopefully.

[lethal plank]

but if he does, the xqc hate will instantly be healed

[slim summit]

kephrii is bad

[zinc schooner]

His memesteam did crap in that last tourney

[slim summit]

most of us have the capacity to hate two douchebags at once

[zinc schooner]

I feel that I could do some yoga to maintain 2-3 hates if needed.

[whole mulch]

I honestly like Kephrii

[lethal plank]

banned

[short vault]

its your boy chris fUCKIT

[lethal plank]

jk

[whole mulch]

hey foxy

[short vault]

hi

[whole mulch]

it's not my fault music, I've played with him too much and he makes the games really fun

[zinc schooner]

Hey you can like him, that's cool. I just never did, b4 the recent bandwagon so sticking to my convictions I guess.

[lethal plank]

that korean chick is cute

[whole mulch]

I don't know much about his stream and whatever

I just know him ingame

[short vault]

shingodereudhdushia ya

[zinc schooner]

Ah ok. Maybe strim is diff. All I know him form.

[lethal plank]

LOL trolling chat

[whole mulch]

I heard he pissed a bunch of people off but idk what exactly he did

[lethal plank]

kephrii?

[whole mulch]

ye

[short vault]

o shit boys its the big game

here ew go

[rough night]

that translator though....

[short vault]

xqcs snapchat had them all shouting 4-0 valiant

[whole mulch]

I'm waiting for the dallas game

[short vault]

[lethal plank]

he pissed me off when he claimed zerg hacks (tho he did appologize) he also pissed me off with all the sex scandals

[rough night]

[zinc schooner]

@dusk mural It was just 8inch 250mg Adderall, cheat drama best forgotten.

[whole mulch]

Oh I did see the zerg video

[short vault]

lool

[lethal plank]

yeah this dallas game needs to start. i wanna play dynasty warriors 9 already lol

[short vault]

that video

[whole mulch]

I have no idea what the 8 inch thing means

[lethal plank]

ah right there's that adderall thing

but iirc everyone does adderall in owl

[rough night]

im gonna call it

[zinc schooner]

@whole mulch It was a dick reference that I've honestly forgotten the context. Don't wanna add to Kephrii hate

[rough night]

soon pops off... fuel stuggle to manage with him

struggle*

[zinc schooner]

Hoping for some SoOn popping!

[slim summit]

Valiant plays like a top six team

xQc throws

[rough night]

effect takes the 1on1 ego battle

[lethal plank]

i wanna see timthetatman in owl just for the memes

[rough night]

and loses

[short vault]

"HEY BUD"

[zinc schooner]

love to hate Tracer, but I really like his style.

[short vault]

[rough night]

soon is a beast

he's not the best tracer mechanically imo

[zinc schooner]

@lethal plank I'd chip in on seeing Tim in Open Div or Contenders for sure. lol

[rough night]

but his game sense and creativity makes up for it

if he had SBB aim ....

[zinc schooner]

@rough night def. I just like his sneaky, back-cap F.U style sometimes.

[rough night]

lets see GOOoooo!

[final river]

go valiant

[short vault]

new music

[serene tendon]

fuels gonna lose again but i still love them

[short vault]

[balmy wolf]

well Fuel are going to get another win here

[whole mulch]

I actually think Soon is one of the top 3 tracer's in the league

gamesense wise I'd put him in 1st

[balmy wolf]

@whole mulch LAWLL

Game sense Effect's tracer is unmatched

but 1v1 potential goes to sabyoeablerekljsahdlkj

cant spell his name

[whole mulch]

Effect hasn't been performing too well

[balmy wolf]

effect is hard carry bro

[dusk garden]

saebyeolbe

[torpid charm]

Saebyeolbe or SBB

[brisk roost]

Lol

Just say SBB then

[balmy wolf]

I think SBB is a bit better than Saebyoelbe

SBB has a wider hero pool

[brisk roost]

If you can't spell Saebyeoelbe, then just say SBB lmfao

[balmy wolf]

but Saebyoelbe is kind of a one trick

[whole mulch]

SBB is saebyeolbe...

[brisk roost]

He knows that...

[balmy wolf]

I thought SBB was Libero

[whole mulch]

.

[brisk roost]

He just prefers SBB than the real one

Wait wtf

Lol

[torpid charm]

[zinc schooner]

@balmy wolf I'd throw Striker into that Tracer race for gamesense too tho.

[brisk roost]

You high

[balmy wolf]

@proud vigils#2633 meh

[torpid charm]

Striker's Tracer is pretty damn good

[balmy wolf]

probably a top 3 for striker

[final river]

time for Valiant to reck, do my valiant winston skin proud

[serene tendon]

effect is overrated

[whole mulch]

I agree that Effect is overrated

[torpid charm]

I feel like everyone's Pachimari looks too thicc and it's weird

[serene tendon]

he chokes more often than he carries

[whole mulch]

he was shunned out of korea for that reason

[zinc schooner]

I'd agree SBB is muy fuego tracer. Just like Striker and SoOn play too

[rough night]

striker played well today sure.... but he's never stood out imo

[whole mulch]

couldn't even get a spot on lower tier teams, he got picked up because envyus didn't have a tracer player

improved a lot with envyus though

[zinc schooner]

Striker seems, to me, to be a tracer that tries to pair with the other DPS.

Effect tries to carry too much and tilts I think

[whole mulch]

Striker is a really smart tracer

but I find soon is the smartest

[rough night]

ye.... effect is better in his head than he is in reality atm

[whole mulch]

all those C9's

[short vault]

[whole mulch]

I mean, effect blames himself for his team's losses

[zinc schooner]

ye, never good to do.

[potent vigil]

Let's go valiant!

[rough night]

soon with the smirk

[slim summit]

blame AKM

[rough night]

he knows!

[slim summit]

the entire point of having a new guy is to blame him for your problems

even when he didn't do anything

[whole mulch]

lol

[rough night]

he knows shit is about to go down!

[potent vigil]

Unkoe 😍

[whole mulch]

AKM has more achievements professionally than effect does, doesn't he

[zinc schooner]

I think Soons French smirk is fitting, lol

[serene tendon]

sponsored by fucking Ash vs Evil Dead??

lmao

[rough night]

wtf with those glasses....

[zinc schooner]

@whole mulch think so.

[whole mulch]

90% sure AKM has higher achievements than effect does

[rough night]

whatever friend went with him when he chose those lenses..... and said ye man they look cool

[serene tendon]

Jack in the Box V Ash vs Evil Dead

[rough night]

frames*

[serene tendon]

valiant green has really grown on me

[potent vigil]

Yes

[serene tendon]

really stands out from the rest of OWL colours

[potent vigil]

Acquired etc

[quasi stump]

sponsored by Starz*

[whole mulch]

that Ash sponsor

lol

[rough night]

the stupid signs are gettin old now

the zen walking one was funny...

[serene tendon]

there are some funny ones every now and then

[rough night]

the reinforce yolo one was the best

[serene tendon]

the problem is everyone wants to be "the funny one"

[zinc schooner]

Lol Soe always picks the safe choice.

[lethal plank]

oh good xqc is in

[potent vigil]

Is it the safe pick?

[serene tendon]

semmler and hex

[brisk roost]

Lol yes

[dusk garden]

SEMMLER PLEASE STFU

[azure harbor]

Meme Fuel

[lethal plank]

he's a great tank just hope he doesn't get triggered

[brisk roost]

Everyone is like cheering for Dallas rn

[zinc schooner]

@potent vigil guess we'll see! 😃

[lethal plank]

my cheer power right now for the fuel is 60%

if they put in seagull then it'll be 150%

[serene tendon]

im suprised more people are rooting for dallas

[rough night]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DVie-JOU8AAXmt_.jpg

#GetHexABoxLikeX

[whole mulch]

I'm excited to see effect vs soon

[rough night]

Soon those supports look tasty

[short vault]

why the best games worst 2 casters

[rough night]

pc bang ?!

[zinc schooner]

I like Hex. Semm, not so much yet.

[short vault]

hex is ok but mr x is daddy

bring him every big game

[lethal plank]

my guess pc bang means pc cafew

cafe

[rough night]

A PC bang is a type of LAN gaming center in South Korea, where patrons can play multiplayer computer games for an hourly fee. The typical cost for an hour of play ranges from 500 to 1500 KRW (approximately $0.44 to $1.30 USD in March 2017)

[whole mulch]

Effect calls seagull best in league

wtf

[lethal plank]

he is

but dallas never plays him and that's why they've been losing

[rough night]

tbh seagull isnt

[serene tendon]

production is so weird this week

[rough night]

seagull isnt even top10

[lethal plank]

attack symmetra best sym

[rough night]

if he was that good he would be playing

[lethal plank]

cherry blossoms are gonna be blooming really soon here in japan

[whole mulch]

Fuel has always been a hitscan heavy team

[visual glen]

Wew lad

[whole mulch]

Seagull plays projectile so I guess they have trouble adapting to his play

[zinc schooner]

ya

[potent vigil]

🙁

[rough night]

...... if soon chokes.... i swear to fuk..... i just stuck £25 on Val to win

[serene tendon]

did that beat seouls time lol

[whole mulch]

haha

[potent vigil]

Lol

[whole mulch]

Is it too late for me to bet on fuel

[potent vigil]

Lol valiant got this

[whole mulch]

soooon

[zinc schooner]

showin up!

[rough night]

he better...

[lethal plank]

lol betting money on esports

[gaunt acorn]

didnt hex and semmler cast the first game today

[visual glen]

Effect pls

[lethal plank]

we already know shanghai will win stage 2 /s

[gaunt acorn]

why are they casting this match too

[rough night]

ill slap that little french smirk off his little french face

[azure harbor]

[brisk roost]

SOOOOOON

[whole mulch]

Other casters probably needed a break

[gaunt acorn]

a break from what

[potent vigil]

Lol soon

[gaunt acorn]

they didnt cast today

where is uber

[rough night]

i never doubted him

[whole mulch]

Monte and Doa casted

[gaunt acorn]

only monte + doa casted today

[whole mulch]

Uber might be off today

idk

[pearl cedar]

yeah i miss uber's casts

he's so good

but i guess when you cast like he does you need some recovery time lmao

[gaunt acorn]

[whole mulch]

I really hate this caster duo

[gaunt acorn]

everybody does

[pearl cedar]

semmler and hex? yeah

[whole mulch]

especially for the most hyped game of the day

[pearl cedar]

they needed ZP

to go with hex honestly

[quasi stump]

there's a caster schedule

[gaunt acorn]

thats why im wondering why they are casting this match when they already casted boston vs mayhem today

[quasi stump]

because on fridays semmler and hex cast 1st and 3rd matches

[gaunt acorn]

[pearl cedar]

yeah i guess its cause

they're both NA casters?

[lethal plank]

christ unkoe

hacks

[pearl cedar]

idk o.o

im canadian and

i love the hype and energy uber brings to the casts

[potent vigil]

Unkoe 😍

[rough night]

its nothing to do with the nationality of race.....

[cerulean plume]

Effect

[rough night]

just their ability

uber is the better com

[lethal plank]

Effect sucks

[cerulean plume]

I am also an uber fan

[pearl cedar]

yeah i was just thinking

[lethal plank]

I hope they sub out effect

[pearl cedar]

what the reason could be

[visual glen]

Dat pulse

[potent vigil]

Lol

[gaunt acorn]

whiffed bomb

huge reaction

[zinc schooner]

Man I'm just not feeling Harry on Mercy.

[gaunt acorn]

semmler in a nutshell

[final river]

Soon putting in so much work

[rough night]

they are not gettin any time to get settled

[final river]

rip

[zinc schooner]

@gaunt acorn something something overtime wick too.

[serene tendon]

no one fucking escorted him

jesus

[whole mulch]

This is why I said soon's gamesense > effect

the guy plays so smart

[zinc schooner]

Welp ur not wrong.

[lethal plank]

Come on fuel

Effect needs to be subbed out

[pearl cedar]

I think effect just had a bad round

soon was workin em

maybe put effect on the mccree?

[serene tendon]

mccree 😩

[pearl cedar]

to try and counter soon's tracer idk

[rough night]

how do you do deal with him though..... he random as fk

[serene tendon]

i need more mccree gameplay

[zinc schooner]

McCreemay be a good call. I kinda feel Effect does what I do, and tunnel visions.

[whole mulch]

That would leave them with double hitscan

I don't think akm will want to play tracer or projectile

on this map

[pearl cedar]

yeah hm..

[zinc schooner]

ya

[whole mulch]

his pharah is pretty nice

[pearl cedar]

genji?

either of em?

i dont know if effect plays it

[mild gyro]

I can't be the only fuel fan who thinks they aren't warming up before games? Also is effects kda negative now?

[final river]

haven't seen seagull play for a while

[zinc schooner]

aww dream of fate stayin on Hanjo dead

[whole mulch]

effect plays genji but not sure if OWL level genji

Seagul can't even genji here

[zinc schooner]

nope

I was surprised at first on that. but makes sense.

[whole mulch]

Fuel does warm up, Effect warms up before OWL every time

[short vault]

y recall

[lethal plank]

Kariv is misshing his sots

shots

[zinc schooner]

God I want the top-down map on another stream.

[mild gyro]

Maybe its just they need to get accustomed to their playstyle, seems like we have better games late into series

[lethal plank]

Gorilla boop

[brisk roost]

RIP

[whole mulch]

Do you guys think xqc's winston is above fate's winston

[lethal plank]

xqc is a tank god

[zinc schooner]

hmmmm

[short vault]

[lethal plank]

i just wish he wasn't so...stupid

[pearl cedar]

what

[whole mulch]

I feel like fate is doing a lot more

[mild gyro]

At times, I think xQc is really, really good when hes into it but you can tell when hes just not feeling it /tilted and he plays worse than fate

[pearl cedar]

the picks on harryhook

[zinc schooner]

It's conextual probably.

[pearl cedar]

are what won that fight

come on semmler

thank god they put the replay up

so people know what really won that fight lol

[whole mulch]

I'm slightly curious why dallas is running ana zen

[mild gyro]

Fuel just gets picked exactly when they cant

[zinc schooner]

@mild gyro ya he can be feast or famine for sure.

[whole mulch]

hard to peel for the zen as ana when both tanks can block ana heals

[mild gyro]

I'd like to see them play Moira Lucio

[azure harbor]

[zinc schooner]

same

[lethal plank]

SUB OUT EFFECT ><

[serene tendon]

sub out effect

jinx

[whole mulch]

Moira lucio would probably force them off dive comp tho

no ranged healing for divers

[azure harbor]

Don't worry guys, Dallas will be strong after Mercy meta pass

[mild gyro]

yeah somethings wrong with effect, just got a feeling hes really not into it

[pearl cedar]

for who? seagull?

taimou?

[lethal plank]

seagull so i can start actually cheering

[whole mulch]

No one on fuel can stand a chance vs soon's tracer except effect

but effect isn't doing well

[zinc schooner]

I just think Effect can get on tilt fast.

[mild gyro]

Yeah but if you go orisa hog with that sure you dont have a ton of experience but I think it could hurt there dive comp enough to make them swap

[whole mulch]

yeah tbh run a deathball comp

[mild gyro]

Atleast get soon to swap off tracer if you went full anti-dive with lucio moira

[whole mulch]

bring taimou in

have him play hog

[mild gyro]

Yeah, go full anti dive. Maybe quad tank would be cool to see

[zinc schooner]

TaiHog teim?

[mild gyro]

Zarya, Hog, Rein?

[lethal plank]

29-4 holy shit

[mild gyro]

Lucio, Moira and akm on soilder

[zinc schooner]

I'd like trip tank

[mild gyro]

I think this comp would work wonders if we brought taimou in and subbed effect out, Rein, Zarya, Hog, Soilder, Moira, Lucio

[whole mulch]

I actually miss trip tank meta

[zinc schooner]

Wanna see aKm pop honestly.

[mild gyro]

lol as a reaper main I do to

[zinc schooner]

Lol I like that line up.

[whole mulch]

Wait wtf Drago it's you

I didn't read your name until now LOL

[mild gyro]

lol I was wondering the same thing

[whole mulch]

yeah

[mild gyro]

"that salty?"

[whole mulch]

fancy seeing you here

yep it's me

[short vault]

11-9

[mild gyro]

Yep yep, as always Im a fuel fan being disappointed- next season there gonna go undefeated though in true dallas sports team fashion

"one of the best" ? I would put soon as the best any day

[whole mulch]

I remember we duo'd with the dallas icon

[mild gyro]

Yeah, you place yet?

[whole mulch]

I placed low :(

like 3800s

[mild gyro]

How low you could probs queue with me

[whole mulch]

my practice account placed higher

my dps account is 3900

[mild gyro]

I dropped to 3700 end of season

[whole mulch]

like 500 SR drop?

wtf?

[mild gyro]

Couldnt gain any sr the last 3 weeks, always losses

4.260 --> 3705

[whole mulch]

I dropped all the way to like 3.7

climbed to like 3.9

by end

[mild gyro]

I havent even placed yet

[serene tendon]

go mccreeeeeeeeeeee

he hasnt just had a bad round hes had a bad whole bunch of rounds

[whole mulch]

he might go cree for that one nepal map

where everyone runs orisa

i think it's sanctum

[tall sierra]

Hello all ... heard this is where the party is at... glad to be here...

[whole mulch]

hey

[tall sierra]

The other OW esports servers are dead lol...

This loooks way more alive...awesome.

[whole mulch]

It's slightly alive

:D

[tall sierra]

😛

[mild gyro]

Im back

[serene tendon]

literally just ignoring soon

why

[mild gyro]

Just in time to witness dallas being torn apart

Great

[lethal plank]

0-2 LAV

[tall sierra]

Dallas vs LAV seems pretty balanced....should make for an exciting match up...so far so good

[whole mulch]

On paper they should be pretty balanced

but Valiant seems to be stomping

[rough night]

ofc we want to see a zen at the back

[tall sierra]

True

[mild gyro]

^

Yeah,

Cant believe we almost beat dynasty few nights ago

[tall sierra]

Dallas seems like they've been coming unglued lately

[mild gyro]

This is fuel's best fight to win

huge ult economy advantage

[whole mulch]

Dallas has been playing better with their new lineup

[zinc schooner]

ya

[whole mulch]

Akm + xqc back in

[mild gyro]

Yeah

what are the next 2 maps after this?

[whole mulch]

I've been a fan of akm for a long time

[tall sierra]

Hollywood and Watchpoint

[mild gyro]

Same

Hollywood would be a good map to run trip tank on

[whole mulch]

indeed

[zinc schooner]

AkM smart retreat there

[whole mulch]

I actually predict taimou will come in for hollywood

[mild gyro]

Hmm

[tall sierra]

AKM played well the other day...but against Seoul he couldn't bring out his best...

[mild gyro]

Fuels ult charge looking good

[tall sierra]

Yea it's nice Dallas has more choices now
