[pearl stratus]

I hope this proves to the coaches

[fading wasp]

wew

[hidden osprey]

so everyone is rooting for them

[torpid charm]

[pearl stratus]

That MG should never play D'va again.

[errant kayak]

so people tend to gravitate towards the sponsor companies

[boreal mango]

@fading wasp They've not won a single best of 3 yet lol

[forest wharf]

Bring in a team now and shut shit down

[fading wasp]

wew

[whole mulch]

Btw this is like Seoul BMing Shanghai

[paper crag]

i know it's a super popular mouse in the gaming community, but i just didn't see pros using them O_o

[grizzled trout]

So Seoul can sweep valaint but not shanghai...

[whole mulch]

they have their substitutes playing

[brisk roost]

Nah don't bring the primary Seoul

[torpid charm]

I am so fucking happy that MG wasn't playing D.va

[fading wasp]

I love me my g502

[whole mulch]

Seoul is not using their main team kil

[pearl stratus]

Btw - This is the team we'll see from Shanghai till Diya is back.

[whole mulch]

look at the players

[uncut moon]

can still hear

koreans

[spring lintel]

Dynasty trying to get players to play

[uncut moon]

speaking

[errant kayak]

@paper crag It has one of the best sensors that exists

[pearl stratus]

Triple Tank, with MG on Roadhog.

[hidden osprey]

Still hearing Koreans in the background

[brisk roost]

Don't bring the primary Seoul tbh

Just don;t

[hidden osprey]

NA production

[errant kayak]

They've improved on it with the newer mice

[torpid charm]

I'm also so goddamn happy that they got a map

[errant kayak]

but the sensor in the 502 is still god-tier

[grizzled trout]

o yea

[pearl cedar]

draggu WITH the season 3 META boiss

[paper crag]

yeah, but so do G Pro, G403, G900, etc

[boreal mango]

I am subconciously learning Korean

[errant kayak]

yeah

those are newer though

[pearl cedar]

Clappin emm

[brisk roost]

A map is good enough for Shanghai

[indigo barn]

don't bring out jehong i pray dont do this to us

[warm quartz]

If shanghai fuckin takes this series vs seoul

[frozen yew]

I can still hear them

[warm quartz]

Im gonna cry

[frozen yew]

I think its chinse tho

[brisk roost]

They'll do better on Stage 4

3*

[indigo barn]

shanghai IS gonna fucking take this series vs seoul

[boreal mango]

If shanghai can reverse sweep

[pearl stratus]

Hell in Stage 1 Shanghai almost took Seoul to 5 games because Seoul didn't swap people in.

[boreal mango]

I will buy a SHD jersey

[brisk roost]

Yo I can still hear the talking on the back LOL

[rustic perch]

its seouls comms

[spring lintel]

No way, dynasty will sub the most of the team if it gets to map 5

[boreal mango]

dream big

[ruby pendant]

Dynasty has been shamed

[fading wasp]

But seriously, wtf was that Genji play?

[pearl stratus]

Yeah but I kind of want it to happen.

[paper crag]

it doesn't sound like something a commentator would say

[indigo barn]

lol panick button ready

[pearl stratus]

The Genji play was a smart defense.

[paper crag]

the korean, that is

[pearl stratus]

Wekeed played it correctly.

Shanghai just countered it correctly too.

[indigo barn]

wekeed got some pretty nice blades on that map tho

[paper crag]

but he could be talking in hypothetical terms so who knows

[pearl stratus]

Every blade he got booped out.

[fading wasp]

Really? He did 3 dragonblades and got one kill

[brisk roost]

Didn't Shanghai took a map once before too?

[pearl stratus]

The second blade he got booped out -> hog ult.

[spring lintel]

Roshan 12-1

As a winston

[fading wasp]

GOD I'M HEARING VOICES AGAIN

[pearl stratus]

Like it was a perfect counter Genji.

[boreal mango]

that is wicked nasty

[indigo barn]

bro they putting down the work

[pearl stratus]

It was kind of weird to see it coming from Shanghai.

[brisk roost]

Dude they're leaking the strategy lmao

[pearl stratus]

But hey.

[paper crag]

@fading wasp what voice? i think you just need some medications 😛

[indigo barn]

they embraced the wekeed genji

and wekeed thought he was good enough to not care about counters

[paper crag]

yeah i'm pretty sure this is team comm lol

[sullen berry]

xushu stats are blowing my mind (ignoring win)

[pearl stratus]

Find us someone who can speak Korean!

[paper crag]

here

[spring lintel]

Weekeed fucked them on defense? What are you on about?

[pearl stratus]

Xushu is honestly pretty good.

[boreal mango]

omg soe

[brisk roost]

What's with Soe's hair today?

[paper crag]

except it's so quiet and the music kinda drowns it out

[indigo barn]

DINNastee

[boreal mango]

one day I will marry her just saying

[spring lintel]

Counters? Really? In pro play?

[hidden osprey]

You can still hear the commentary in the background

[paper crag]

they were talking about sombra though

[pearl stratus]

I have no clue why they don't play him more.

[dusk garden]

seoul dinnesty

[hidden osprey]

who the fuck is managing the backstage?

[brisk roost]

It's DIE-Nasty smh

Not Dee-nasty

[indigo barn]

no its DINNasty

still gonna marry soe

[sullen berry]

mocha cake woah

[paper crag]

dinner tasty

[indigo barn]

or that new erin chick

[molten skiff]

did dynasty 4-0 a series in this stage yet?

[indigo barn]

yes

[pearl stratus]

Someone should hit Doa with a car.

[grizzled trout]

Ye

[brisk roost]

That new Erin chick is hot tbh

[paper crag]

the cake is from a huge chain called Paris Baguette

[indigo barn]

i'd bang

[sullen berry]

yes

[fading wasp]

What is that woman's accent? I can't pin it down.

[uncut moon]

FREEFEEL MORE LIKE FREE KILL

[indigo barn]

no subs thank heavens

[brisk roost]

But Soe is smoking hot today too

[uncut moon]

Why would you sub freefeel in

[paper crag]

soe is swiss

[pearl stratus]

Rip.

[uncut moon]

he is so bad

[hidden osprey]

She always is

[spring lintel]

They are throwing? Freefeel? Wtf

[indigo barn]

soe got dat bootay

[pearl stratus]

They brought in Freefeel.

Goodbye Shanghai.

[fading wasp]

Swiss. Sounds about right.

[uncut moon]

freefeel and MG omegalul

[spring lintel]

GG

[indigo barn]

NUUUUU

[pearl stratus]

MG on Roadhog isn't bad.

[indigo barn]

WE DONT NEED free kill

[paper crag]

Swissishenese

[pearl stratus]

But if we see MG on D'va.

Shanghai throw.

[sullen berry]

monkaS

[uncut moon]

can still hear the korean shit

[fading wasp]

[Insert clever Mercy joke here]

[spring lintel]

Will they wait until 9pm to start DF match? Or will they start it after this one?

[uncut moon]

in the backcground

[boreal mango]

[paper crag]

THE VOICESSSSS MAKE THEM GO AWAY

[fading wasp]

I can still hear it

[uncut moon]

the voices

:(((((((

[paper crag]

they're constantly talking about sombra

but i can't make out the details

[brisk roost]

Those are leaked ass comms smh

[fading wasp]

Can anyone speak korean?

[boreal mango]

I'm subconciously learning korean here vivid

[idle beacon]

GEGURI

GEGURI

[sullen berry]

nope 😐

[fading wasp]

I want to know what they're saying

[sullen berry]

they even said "in a few weeks", optimistically

[pearl stratus]

MG not on d'va.

[sullen berry]

while diya is gone for 2 weeks

[pearl stratus]

Thank god.

[boreal mango]

triple tank again, MG on hog

HERE WE GO BOYS

[fading wasp]

Why did he say Sombra like that? Sombrrah

[untold pagoda]

shanghaitookamapisthisevenreallife

[pearl stratus]

The problem now is Freefeel.

[boreal mango]

s-ohm-bra

[forest wharf]

Its xushU not xushA you cunts

[pearl stratus]

Can Freefeel not Freefail on Moira.

[plucky sun]

so is it SOWMBRA or SAWMBRA?

[grizzled trout]

They did before guppy

[untold pagoda]

from seoul

?

[fading wasp]

Sohmbruh

[grizzled trout]

Yes

[paper crag]

someone from seoul was kind of at a loss, saying either "i don't know what to do" or "i need to think about what to do" or "tell me what to do"
i only heard a part of the sentence and need more context lol

[untold pagoda]

o i thought this was unheard for

[boreal mango]

the character herself pronounces it as s-om-bra not s-ohm-bra

[paper crag]

the sombra buff isn't in this stage right?

[hidden osprey]

Finally those comms are gone

[boreal mango]

om like com, not ohm like home

[paper crag]

PEACE FINALLY

[brisk roost]

Real question is

Which team comm was that?

[paper crag]

both teams

[fading wasp]

I don't know how to put the tongue tap that you'd use to pronounce it into writing.

[hidden osprey]

sounded like both

[boreal mango]

aww man, I'd almost learned a recipe for kimchi

[paper crag]

i recognized both languages lol

[fading wasp]

It's a Spanish "r", not an English "r"

[indigo barn]

even the commentators like fiveking more

[boreal mango]

rolled r?

[fading wasp]

No

It's not pronounced "ruh"

[brisk roost]

I wonder what the primary Seoul team is planning

[paper crag]

i miss being high sens

[fading wasp]

Like it is in english

But it's also not a rolled R

[sullen berry]

@paper crag just mercy and junkrat nerfs

[paper crag]

VOICES ARE BACK

[hidden osprey]

COMMS BACK

[paper crag]

MAMA WHYYY

[hidden osprey]

MULTI MILLION DOLLAR PRODUCTION BTW

[fading wasp]

Pero vs. Perro is the best comparison @boreal mango

[paper crag]

so are you guys hyped about the whole "arenas in every city" thing?

[fading wasp]

Pero is a standard R, and perro is a rolled R.

[brisk roost]

This could be a good time for Shanghai to win

[sullen berry]

maybe their only this stage

[paper crag]

rolled Rs are so hard for people who speak languages that don't incorporate them...

[fading wasp]

I grew up around Spanish so it all comes naturally to me

[paper crag]

like i can roll my R's but i can't use it freely in speech

[marsh pumice]

hi all

[boreal mango]

@fading wasp yeah I don't speak spanish so I just googled it, basically it's a "soft R" sound in Spanish

[hidden osprey]

Is it just me or is there no crowd noise at all?

[sullen berry]

the only team that hasn't played shanghai and isn't improving this stage so far is philly

[hidden osprey]

or did they goof it up

[paper crag]

i have to really strain to get that sound out

[boreal mango]

double R's and leading R's are hard

[sullen berry]

and we've seem them get real close to flushing fusion when they were top of stage 1

[brisk roost]

Wekeed's Genji is not bad huh

[fading wasp]

I kind of mumble my words together when I speak Spanish, same as my dad. I think it's a regional thing.

[paper crag]

i wonder if they took the nuclear option and removed all outside sounds, including audience, to remove comm leaking

[indigo barn]

the bring in wekeed for his genji

[sullen berry]

I want to see more haksal genji

[spring lintel]

Is there a reason they switched?

[paper crag]

and that comm coming back for a few seconds was them trying to bring back the audience sound

[indigo barn]

i wanna see some more rascal genji

[forest wharf]

Is it not pissing everyone else off that they keep saying xushA??

[spring lintel]

I want to see more haksal

[boreal mango]

yeah some tech guy will be gradually adding them back one by one until they figure out which it was lol

[paper crag]

is haksal signed anywhere?

[spring lintel]

Runaway

[paper crag]

isn't he still in korea

yeah

[sullen berry]

DoA says XuSHOE

and then sha again

[paper crag]

flower isn't gonna be old enough until season 2, right?

[spring lintel]

Wtf was that ult freefeel?!

[rustic perch]

he turns 18 in may

[boreal mango]

you're right, vivid

[paper crag]

is may after season 1 ends?

[boreal mango]

flower is like pre-signed I think

[paper crag]

yeah i think he's committed to nyxl

[spring lintel]

Flower for nyxl

[rustic perch]

may should be at the end of stage 3 if i'm not completely wrong right now

[boreal mango]

but plenty time for him to practice with the team in the off season so he can join straight away

[spring lintel]

Actually winnable

[brisk roost]

Weekeed lasting couple more seconds is really good tho

[spring lintel]

Dps ult from freefeel, what is this bot

[fading wasp]

This tracking is really satisfying to watch

[paper crag]

i hate how good tracking looks so easy

[spring lintel]

That hop from bunny was good

[paper crag]

when you watch someone who's good at it

[boreal mango]

MG's hook accuracy

[sullen berry]

seriously, you know who would be able to play symmetra proper, it's shanghai on defense

[fading wasp]

I want to see me some Sym or Torb

GIMMIE DEM MEME COMPS, BOYS

[boreal mango]

I remember torb in the OWWC during blizzcon

[paper crag]

do you guys feel like mei needs a rework? she's only used to contest right now

[spring lintel]

If fucking freefeel had his ult

[boreal mango]

I like her with the new changes, but they're not live in OWL

[paper crag]

but idk if just tweaking numbers is enough to make her viable in other situations

[rustic perch]

at least in diamond i saw her getting some playtime

[indigo barn]

sigh

[fading wasp]

Wasn't there some guy who threw a OWWC game?

[spring lintel]

Nop

[brisk roost]

Wow full push

[fading wasp]

I'm thinking of something else then

[boreal mango]

genji remembered how to ult lol

[paper crag]

lol

[molten skiff]

lawl

[spring lintel]

Freefeel ulted without even being baited

[molten skiff]

observing

[paper crag]

i got my first legit multi kill dragonblade today

[molten skiff]

is shit

[paper crag]

was so proud

[spring lintel]

He just wanted to get a kill

[whole mulch]

So is there a reason Seoul is using their backup players

[boreal mango]

I'm still so trash as genji

[indigo barn]

bring fiveking back dammit

[boreal mango]

like hilariously so

[paper crag]

same here

[molten skiff]

to rest old man jehong

[grizzled trout]

I cannot play genji

[rustic perch]

stop saying "lul those ults are trash" all the time, those players are way above the level of probably everyone here, they'll know what they're doing more than you do

[sullen berry]

@indigo barn it'd be too late to sub back in, they win this they could

[spring lintel]

They are using their back up cause it’s an easy match and players want to play

[boreal mango]

I reflected a hanzo ult once while in a grav, I don't think I'll ever top that moment so I just stopped

[molten skiff]

have backups more exposed

so they have more value in trading

etc

[forest wharf]

Ready to see fuel get shocked?

[boreal mango]

yeah you dont wanna gimp your team by subbing, they need to all be reliable

[paper crag]

genji ult takes so much cognitive resource... like shifting into the air, scan the ground in like 1 second, remember everyone's general location, and shifting between targets

while not panicking and tunnel visioning

[boreal mango]

seoul don't understand how to fight something other than dive lul

[sullen berry]

@forest wharf I need more shock fuel

[paper crag]

oh wow shd is plowing through

[fading wasp]

Ahhh, I was thinking of that Dafran throw. That's it.

[paper crag]

game 5 hype

[boreal mango]

REVERSE

SWEEP

[sullen berry]

they'll pop for the sick REVERSE SWEEP

[paper crag]

dude a failed reverse sweep is the ultimate feelsbadman

[frozen yew]

Mg better hog than in dva

[paper crag]

well, 4-0 is up there too

[boreal mango]

Still not a great hog, haven't seen a landed hook yet

[paper crag]

but i think a failed reverse sweep would hurt more for SHD

[sullen berry]

imagine the sponsorship if Big Earl's was replaced with KFC

[frozen yew]

He still better than in dva

I dont get why he wastes his rebreather

Or almost never hooks

[sullen berry]

in anticipation of damage

he just plays significantly reserved for a roadhog

[marsh pumice]

dwdw

[frozen yew]

No like

[boreal mango]

hes missed like every hook lol

[frozen yew]

They finished a figt

[fading wasp]

I wouldn't be surprised to see someone on Shanghai 9999% tilt if they failed a reverse sweep in the OT round, especially if it was close.

[boreal mango]

...i spoke too soon

[frozen yew]

Instead of leting his supports heal

[sullen berry]

^^

[frozen yew]

He kist rebreathes

[slim summit]

T I E B R E A K E R

[sullen berry]

solo queue mentality ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[marsh pumice]

dragons playing pretty well

[boreal mango]

I play with a hog main and I main support. he is literally the worst person for constantly self healing and denying me ult charge

[fading wasp]

It's super annoying when Roadhogs heal themselves after a teamfight instead of leaving the orb that is already on them to heal

[boreal mango]

50 DAMAGE? BETTER HEAL MYSELF

[paper crag]

watch it go to game 5, SHD wins first round, then seoul comes back the next 2 games with 99% vs 99% OT

[quasi stump]

LOL UNDEAD NICE

[spring lintel]

DIVE NOT META POGGERS

[quasi stump]

GO SHANGHAI

[whole mulch]

The hog might need ult charge

idk

[sullen berry]

I want Undead to really make his tac visor work

[boreal mango]

I can't wait for dive to be balanced against other strats lol I hate it

[sullen berry]

that would break them through to map 5

[boreal mango]

dive defence is so weird

[rustic perch]

it's cool if we see shanghai win vs seoul but still.. it's not seouls "real" team

[slim summit]

yikes

[quasi stump]

damn useless tac

[slim summit]

d.va out of position

blow all the ults for no reason

what a choke

[indigo barn]

is tact visor just a zoning ult or..... wut

[boreal mango]

GG no RE

[runic stag]

Dragons y

[paper crag]

tac visor is for asserting dominance

[boreal mango]

ult economy 0/10

[paper crag]

intimidation tactic

[marsh pumice]

very cool plays man, they are getting better and better

[sullen berry]

waiting for OT plays

[paper crag]

nah it's a part of a bigger picture. seoul is now too scared of shd because undead just showed "i don't need this ult to beat you all lul"

[fading wasp]

There's the Dragonblade I was looking for

[sullen berry]

this feels a lot like philly fusion v shanghai dragons on junkertown

[quasi stump]

quad tank

[forest wharf]

Quad tank lel

[hidden osprey]

whoa

[boreal mango]

MORE TANKS

[errant kayak]

Seoul is gonna pull out the bastion

and shred

[boreal mango]

6 TANKS WHEN

[errant kayak]

we've seen this trick too many times

[runic stag]

well thats it

[spring lintel]

GG feels bad man

[frozen yew]

QUAD TANK

[paper crag]

i feel like quad tank doesn't really work when you're way behind on ults...

[boreal mango]

well that went well

[acoustic grail]

GG Dragons

[quasi stump]

fuuuuuck

[boreal mango]

also late switch to zarya with 0 charge hmm

[quasi stump]

wekeed with the carry

[forest wharf]

"our dps sucks, what do we do? More tanks?"

[fading wasp]

F

[runic stag]

jesus

[whole mulch]

gg

[indigo barn]

stupid genji blade team wipes

[quick pecan]

[plucky sun]

dammit can't shanghai win just once

F

[runic stag]

every game its so unbelievably clear they don't belong in this league

[frozen yew]

F

[willow basalt]

F

[spring lintel]

The dva kept feeding

[acoustic grail]

Genji OP plz nerf

[boreal mango]

that map was well fought by SHD though I'll give them that much

[paper crag]

i wonder if it would have been better if SHD when quad tank earlier

[grizzled trout]

Dragons getting better

[whole mulch]

SHD improved

[boreal mango]

nah quad tank was a bad call IMO

[indigo barn]

that was good tho

or seoul sucked idk

[molten skiff]

more like seoul dropped it

[whole mulch]

I actually think they can beat mayhem now

seoul used their substitute players

[molten skiff]

same like last time

[forest wharf]

Hey supposedly some of the new players will be here next week

[sullen berry]

uhh

[whole mulch]

they don't have zunba, ryujehong, miro

[molten skiff]

seoul just doesnt seem to go for 4-0 on shanghai

[sullen berry]

optimistically speaking,

[forest wharf]

So theres that

[sullen berry]

they're weeks away

[paper crag]

i guess seoul thinks 1 set score is a good price for keeping their subs' game sense sharp

[boreal mango]

yep

[forest wharf]

Geguri posted on twitter today that she'll be in us next week

[paper crag]

which i agree

[rustic perch]

did she?

[boreal mango]

Gegrui has her work cut out for her lol

[paper crag]

lol

[molten skiff]

that's the thing

[whole mulch]

Geguri is the only female pro right?

[acoustic grail]

FUEL V SHOCK!!!

[spring lintel]

Ez

[acoustic grail]

GET KEEN

[boreal mango]

hope she brought a good backpack

[molten skiff]

+4 vs. +2

[paper crag]

isn't she going to literally replace MG?

[whole mulch]

Fuel vs shock will be a better game

[runic stag]

this is a pretty hype match

[boreal mango]

hopefully

[paper crag]

she's good at dva, hog, zarya

[slim summit]

Next week is too little, too late

[forest wharf]

Or discord, but whatever https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/82r0xj/shd_geguri_will_be_in_the_us_next_week_will_come/

[paper crag]

pretty much mg's job

[molten skiff]

she's been good with brigitte i hear

[boreal mango]

Gah I wanna watch more, but it's 1.40am and I have work tomorrow 😦

[slim summit]

Shanghai plays NYXL, Gladiators, Outlaws, and Spitfire

this stage

[paper crag]

yeah sounds like something she'd be good with

her hog is actually pretty insane

[slim summit]

so she'd have to pull of a miracle and despite having no team synergy

[spring lintel]

Sad that LAG started close to LAV but then LAV improved and LAG didnt

[slim summit]

beat Glads?

[limber pine]

guyes

[serene tendon]

who do you guys think shanghai's first win will be against?

[slim summit]

or somehow carry to a top tier team?

unlikely

[limber pine]

i walked away at halftime

[frozen yew]

SHOCK TAKE MY ELETRICITY

[limber pine]

wat happened?

[forest wharf]

Her zarya is one of the best in the game

[paper crag]

yeah

[fading wasp]

Shanghai won a map

[slim summit]

I think Shanghai is gonna beat Dallas Fuel on April 4th

[fading wasp]

Then got fukt

[paper crag]

i think the new additions can get SHD a win

[boreal mango]

SHD held point A on Kings to take a map.

[whole mulch]

Hm

[paper crag]

not against london or nyxl

[whole mulch]

diya will be missing for 2 weeks

he's in china it seems

didn't even know

[boreal mango]

deffo not against my boys in blue

[paper crag]

but good chance against mayhem maybe?

[pearl stratus]

Literally never let MG play D'va again.

And they could be okay.

Because MG was a surprisingly not bad Roadhog.

[boreal mango]

pls report MG for throwing

[pearl stratus]

60% hook accuracy isn't horrible.

[forest wharf]

Gotta be a feels bad for shanghai knowing they gotta bring in koreans to not suck though

[paper crag]

lol

[boreal mango]

eh, every team has koreans now

[paper crag]

houston?

well, they have a korean coach

but not player, right?

[boreal mango]

they're just next level, others gotta git gud

[runic stag]

i mean i say Dragon's don't belong here but I guess most leagues have one dogshit team

[paper crag]

NO TRANSLATOR HYPE

[boreal mango]

ffs SEOUL has an english speaking player lol, put him in London pls

we only have 1

[whole mulch]

Gesture right?

[pearl stratus]

Talking about Xushu being the good D'va.

[forest wharf]

Yea kuki is actually speaks english well

[molten skiff]

damn

kuki

[rustic perch]

he doesn't really know, he made that up you can tell by how he's talking lul

[boreal mango]

I can't remember, the one at the end of the marmite video, he lived in USA for a long time

[acoustic grail]

Soe have my babies plz

[paper crag]

bischu speaks pretty good english i think

[molten skiff]

bischu is permanent resident of canada

[paper crag]

yeah

[molten skiff]

represent

[boreal mango]

🍪

[forest wharf]

Iirc from one of the streams he lived in hungary when he was younger

[fading wasp]

Optimal team: Doomfist, Torbjorn, Symmetra, Junkrat, Bastion (as tank), Soldier (as healer). Guaranteed to win every single time. Gotta see it in OWL soon. It's the new meta.

[boreal mango]

dumbfist is the best character

punching people > accuracy

[paper crag]

how dare you ignore mercy's dps

surprising amount of dmg

[spring lintel]

Can you hack orisa when she is in fortify?

[fading wasp]

Battle Mercy is too good for that team

[boreal mango]

ah of course, torb should be heals, mercy dps

[fading wasp]

Soldier is heals

He has his E

[molten skiff]

battlemercy is really good

[ruby pendant]

widow the tank

[paper crag]

lol no decent mercy heals

that's the newb trap, healing as mercy

[molten skiff]

remember kariv kicking ass with that pistol in stage 1

[boreal mango]

@spring lintel yes, fortify only stops you being booped, or otheriwse moved by CC

[paper crag]

if you're in the middle of being booped, does fortify just stop you right there?

[boreal mango]

yeah

[fading wasp]

that fucking emote behind the guy on the left

[paper crag]

oh nice

[boreal mango]

it's great fun when you fortify and a hog immediately ults in your face

[spring lintel]

Cant wait for sombra to be viable as a dps in next stage

[boreal mango]

literally the quickest way to die

[fading wasp]

Wait didn't his cast used to be on the other arm?

[paper crag]

lol

72% hook nice

[boreal mango]

whole hog is all balanced around knocking people back, suddenly no knockback lol RIP

The whole fucking series

[fading wasp]

it's a conspiracy @boreal mango

[boreal mango]

also TIL that OWL doesn't provide health insurance. SMH blizzard, and America

[spring lintel]

Players have it

[boreal mango]

blizzard is a multi million company, they should provide it to all employees

unless the casters are self employed I guess, they could be freelance

[fading wasp]

"Should"

They won't unless forced to

[boreal mango]

Yeah I know, USA is dumb AF with healthcare

[fading wasp]

Though they may not be salaried workers

They might be contracted

In which case they wouldn't usually get health insurance through work

[boreal mango]

yeah I'd not be surprised if the casting team aren't salaried, goldenboy was casting Halo just the other week

[molten skiff]

116/11

what

[boreal mango]

couldn't do both if he was salaried

[fading wasp]

Yeah he could

Unless there was an exclusivity clause in the contract. as long as he can fulfill his work obligations, he's free to take on more work if he wants.

[boreal mango]

right I should probably sleep because I'm at work in 6 hours lol

damn time zones

nice armchair coaching with you all

[fading wasp]

Heh

I'm desk chair coaching, thank you very much

[spring lintel]

I dunno why but i think df will get stomped

Like i cant see them winning

[slim summit]

yikes, no health insurance and a broken bone?

dude's probably out 5 digit sums

[fading wasp]

Might've been able to negotiate it down with the hospital

They'll do that with no insuance

Prolly still in the thousands though

Minimum

[boreal mango]

[Urge to start universal healthcare circlejerk intensifies]

[onyx shore]

iirc,casting team are contracted

they are not blizzard's employee

[fading wasp]

Yeah, that's what I thought

Because his tweet referenced that he was doing it for "this season"

Not indefinitely

[brisk roost]

Lol is this a Minecraft music

[fading wasp]

It changed over

[brisk roost]

The previous one

[fading wasp]

bwewewew

[brisk roost]

It seems like straight outta Minecraft

Wait

This kinda sounds like from Naruto for some reason

It reminded me of Itachi's theme

[fading wasp]

[Moira's head pops out]

I fucking love this cheesy ass intro

It's like this big NFL thing, but really, really, really not

[idle beacon]

maliq is doing what?

[spring lintel]

Maliq low key suspended?

The trihard drama?

[idle beacon]

nah she said he's in australia for a movie or whatever

[spring lintel]

Oh ok

[fading wasp]

This is pretty much the only damn sport where New York isn't the one with two teams

[spring lintel]

DF got better record than SF Lul

[molten skiff]

"fck soe"

mhm

[fading wasp]

Okay for a while I thought people were misspelling Zoe but it's starting to seem like her actual name is Soe. I've never seen that name before.

[brisk roost]

Lol

[spring lintel]

Her complete name is different

[hidden osprey]

Taimou on tank

[spring lintel]

Sombiea or something

[hidden osprey]

[fading wasp]

XQC? That's a streamer, right?

[hidden osprey]

Lmao

Taimou you funny git

[brisk roost]

Taimou preparing for tonight

[spring lintel]

Fuck i didn see it

[balmy wolf]

me thinking they were gonna start Rascal

[spring lintel]

DF needs to chill and choose a starting roster

[balmy wolf]

like i love Akm

but rascal is so much better

[spring lintel]

Bench effect

[balmy wolf]

akm is a soldier one trick

nah

akm only really strives on soldier

[spring lintel]

Akm is better for their strat

You can play rascal and effect on dive too

[fading wasp]

Oh my lawd, this is spicy over here

[spring lintel]

Not sure why they are running soldier strat

[fading wasp]

fuckin' lol

[balmy wolf]

df need to figure out a fucking strat in general

[brisk roost]

Btw

I noticed that the Koreans in NYXL can speak English

[balmy wolf]

goddamn akm is already 1 ?

oof

[fading wasp]

Yeah, seems like they can

[spring lintel]

He played less

[balmy wolf]

maybe i may be wrong 🤷

[brisk roost]

SBB, Pine, Ark etc

[balmy wolf]

yeah and i remember soe saying some dumb shit like "oh none of the nyxl players know english"

[brisk roost]

Anyone saw that guy dabbed?

[balmy wolf]

yeah

[spring lintel]

This is gonna he a resident sleeper

[balmy wolf]

isnt taimou's main tank winston?

[spring lintel]

SF are gonna fuck them

[balmy wolf]

nah i dont think so

theyll get a round

but it wont be any fucking

i have faith in my team winning today

[torpid charm]

I don't see Shock taking this W

[balmy wolf]

yeah

[spring lintel]

Custa benched

[hidden osprey]

Uber and Mr X

yay

[balmy wolf]

all of df's healers are great tho ngl

[spring lintel]

Wtf is DF doing, they are playing kinda 2 different roster.

[balmy wolf]

especially harry

[hidden osprey]

lets go fuel

[spring lintel]

Harry custa are the best imo

Chips is a bot

I am just kidding

[hidden osprey]

Custa has been a bot lately

[spring lintel]

But i think custa is better

[balmy wolf]

yeah for sure

but they are all staying consistent in performance

they all perform well imo

[fading wasp]

Am I the only one who thinks the NYXL's name is kinda lazy? Like, it's literally the state motto.

[balmy wolf]

[nah

honestly didnt even know excelsior was the motto

[fading wasp]

Yeah, it's the NY state motto.

[spring lintel]

I like it

[fading wasp]

Guess it's just because I see it a lot elsewhere

Because, well, state motto

[balmy wolf]

g fucking g

i hate when mickie goes off on his own

[spring lintel]

Called it

[hidden osprey]

its a lack of communication

thats all it is

[balmy wolf]

it seems that we cannot NOT fucking defend first point

[spring lintel]

Their roster is fucked up and keeps changing

[hidden osprey]

why does the music keep playing

It's so annoying

[balmy wolf]

our defense has just been bad

[fading wasp]

ooh doomfist

[forest wharf]

Rip

[fading wasp]

Don't see that much in OWL

[spring lintel]

So sad, when they actually get a roster that’s kinda working they switch it up

[hidden osprey]

blame Kyky

[balmy wolf]

this is fucking ridicoulous

[hidden osprey]

I have no idea what he's doing

[balmy wolf]

baby bay has NOT died

[indigo barn]

most useless emp ever

[balmy wolf]

for fuck sake

this nomal whatever

[indigo barn]

babybay is bae

[fading wasp]

What's with the handwarmers?

[spring lintel]

The one who chooses players and strats is to blame

[balmy wolf]

they always have had them

[hidden osprey]

It's cold on stage

[balmy wolf]

somethign about preparing

[frozen yew]

Ez clap

SHOCK TAKE MY ELETRICITY

[fading wasp]

Yeah? I'd think they would keep it more comfortable temperature for the players.

[indigo barn]

there was 0 pressure on babybay

[ruby pendant]

Shock must have had what the Dragons had

[hidden osprey]

You can hear comms again lol

[balmy wolf]

dont play goddamn replays with a widow who cant finish the kill without a spray

[spring lintel]

Tiamou should be benched until he is a good dps

[hidden osprey]

Taimou isn't their DPS player anymore

[balmy wolf]

please

[hidden osprey]

He's the shotcaller

[balmy wolf]

bring on xqc

[spring lintel]

That’s what i am saying

[balmy wolf]

not even memeing

[spring lintel]

Bring coco or xqc

[hidden osprey]

If Fuel lose this 4-0 Kyky has to go

[spring lintel]

Bring in custa

Play with 1 fucking roster

[hidden osprey]

like legit, how can you not have a decent starting roster by the middle of S2

[spring lintel]

Not a different roster every two matches

[balmy wolf]

theres NO way fuel will lose this 4-0 you're smoking

if they do than houston will win league lmao

[spring lintel]

SF is one of the worse teams too, they should be winning

[hidden osprey]

because Fuel haven't lost 4-0 before

[molten skiff]

Wait really?

[balmy wolf]

yeah

we're trash but not THAT trassh

[velvet scarab]

[polar pier]

Where's xQc?

[desert hornet]

did dragons lose 4-0

[balmy wolf]

hell fuckin ya

[polar pier]

And no I think dargons went 3-1.

[hidden osprey]

ye Dragons went 3-1

[desert hornet]

wait how

[hidden osprey]

was a hell of a good match

[molten skiff]

Seoul ran with backup team

[polar pier]

Is xQc benched for this map?

[balmy wolf]

they didnt lose 4-0 today

but they have

[molten skiff]

And dropped the ball sometimes

[hidden osprey]

putting Effect on Genji when they have Rascal

why

[indigo barn]

thats like putting jake on tracer when they have clockwork

[desert hornet]

wheres custaa

[indigo barn]

wheres xqc????

[hidden osprey]

I mean his Genji is decent in ladder but not in OWL

[balmy wolf]

they dont play rascal in the first place lul

[molten skiff]

But effect doesnt shotcall

[fading wasp]

A great decision @indigo barn? Precisely.

[balmy wolf]

throw effect on tracer take akm for rascal and play

[hidden osprey]

Or just sub Effect

[balmy wolf]

effect best dps on the team lul

[hidden osprey]

put Rascal + aKm together

[spring lintel]

Lol sleepy body blocked their whole team

Amazing play

[balmy wolf]

thank god we have a chance

[serene tendon]

that self destruct was the only thing that got them that point, what is going on

[spring lintel]

Sleepy is so underrated with a shit team

[balmy wolf]

ooff effect

AYE

[serene tendon]

oh damn

[balmy wolf]

LESSSSSSSSG OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[indigo barn]

still gonna be shock 3-1 fuel

[runic stag]

WHEW LADS

[spring lintel]

Snowball against a sombra

[balmy wolf]

[limber pine]

Sleepy is legit the best non-korean zenyatta

[acoustic grail]

Taumou with the switch

[balmy wolf]

3-2 shock

harryhook better imo

nah

[spring lintel]

@limber pine i agree completely

[balmy wolf]

i meant custa

[hidden osprey]

really depends on if Fuel manage to actually keep themselves together

[spring lintel]

Even within koreans he is not that bad

[balmy wolf]

didnt custa go like 30-5 with zen

[hidden osprey]

not playing half aggressive, half defensive

[whole mulch]

What did I miss? Why's Taimou on Winston?

[hidden osprey]

Taimou's their shotcaller

[balmy wolf]

hes been playing winston since week 1 lul

[spring lintel]

Trash df, the usual

[whole mulch]

[whole mulch]

Chips is going to have to yolo his zen ult

he's going to get emp'd

[balmy wolf]

[hidden osprey]

yup, she was left unchecked in the first round

[balmy wolf]

yeah

[hidden osprey]

and cost them heavily

[indigo barn]

now she's first on the menu

[balmy wolf]

it wasnt fleta dangerous but it still did damage

oof

[whole mulch]

what's with the tmobilemvp mykl in the twitch chat

[balmy wolf]

here comes our defense

[acoustic grail]

noice Dallas

[balmy wolf]

its a meme

[whole mulch]

mykl isn't in owl right?

[hidden osprey]

Goldenboy is on the desk

[balmy wolf]

during the world cup

[hidden osprey]

that's partly why

[balmy wolf]

there was a tmobilemvp vote

[whole mulch]

yeah but why mykl

[balmy wolf]

and xqc won over meme s

idk

[whole mulch]

I know what the tmobile thing is

but they're voting mykl

[hidden osprey]

there's no vote lol

[whole mulch]

yeah ik

[hidden osprey]

It's just twitch chat being dumb

[whole mulch]

but the chat is spamming it

and idk why mykl

when he isn't even in the league

[quasi stump]

because twitch chat

is dumb

[balmy wolf]

memes

[quasi stump]

there is no other reason

[whole mulch]

must be from a video or something I guess

[balmy wolf]

i love taimou but for the love of GOD BRING ON XQC

[desert hornet]

oof

[acoustic grail]

if they take the final point is it a draw ?

[balmy wolf]

what the fuck are we doing

[hidden osprey]

no pressure on Babybay again

[desert hornet]

i think

[balmy wolf]

what the fuck was that hold

[quasi stump]

no it's not a draw

if they finish with time remaining they attack again for the win

[balmy wolf]

especially simcnce he ulted

like

[desert hornet]

what

[indigo barn]

gg

[spring lintel]

gg

[balmy wolf]

why thr fuck did we not push a goddamn tac visor

[hidden osprey]

[brisk roost]

GG asf lol

[desert hornet]

[hidden osprey]

WutFace

akm's soldier is better

[spring lintel]

easily drawable

[forest wharf]

[desert hornet]

i think so

[balmy wolf]

[quasi stump]

[spring lintel]

Never seen him get a single kill

[balmy wolf]

get taimou out for xqc please

[hidden osprey]

If xqc can shot call sure

[spring lintel]

Taimou was cool

[onyx shore]

yeah,if you're gonna play winston anyway

play xqc

[balmy wolf]

xqc can definetely shot call wym

[onyx shore]

get someone else to shotcall

[balmy wolf]

xqc is like

main shot collar for this second portion of season

[hidden osprey]

he can, but whether he's been doing it in scrims is a different story

[balmy wolf]

caller

[onyx shore]

it'sa like having akm and asking harryhook to play soldierr

idk if its only me

[balmy wolf]

yall hyped up a 9-2 widow lul

[whole mulch]

xqc has issues with shotcalling

[onyx shore]

but babybay face kinda looks like pepe the frog

[balmy wolf]

when did mickie get 34 kills

[whole mulch]

his calls are the exact opposite of what mickie is used to

so xqc ends up feeding

[spring lintel]

Did they show chips?

[whole mulch]

he talked about it on his stream

[balmy wolf]

no

[whole mulch]

I guess that's why they benched him

[hidden osprey]

xqc is over aggressive

[acoustic grail]

i was a good shotcaller, but then people stopped listening 😦

[hidden osprey]

mickie isn't responsive enough

[whole mulch]

Yes, xqc's playstyle is too aggressive

and mickie is passive

[onyx shore]

boy this music

[whole mulch]

it didn't work

that's why taimou is playing winston I assume

[balmy wolf]

tldr noone on dallas can communicate

[hidden osprey]

pretty much

[balmy wolf]

finally a damn EFFECT SHOWING
