[ruby pendant]

@forest wharf True, but the B team is still pretty good!

[glacial sleet]

I am sorry to the fans and supporters I let down and offended recently. I listen and read all the comments and I am utmost disappointed in myself that I said those things and all I can do is apologize and move forward.
My goal has always been to be the best Overwatch player I can to help my team, and I will only get better as a player and a public figure. Thank you to the fans, you all truly make us better.

-Taimoue

[paper crag]

Seoul's B squad is probably viable as an OWL team

[indigo barn]

EZ CLAP

[forest wharf]

did he just try to hook his own lucio?

[dusk garden]

thats something taimoue would do

[paper crag]

no he just hooked and killed boston's 7th sombra

[fading wasp]

SHD are flawless

[brisk roost]

But I got infected for the nicknames

Okay, back to OWL

Erm

[indigo barn]

shanghai is the best team e ver

[fading wasp]

SHD, amirite?

[indigo barn]

they're fighting boston uprising right now

more like

[pastel phoenix]

Shanghai SNEKS

[indigo barn]

boston downrising

or

[pastel phoenix]

🐍

[fading wasp]

No step on snek

[indigo barn]

boston downfalling

[paper crag]

seriously though, where does boston fall under in terms of hierarachy

[indigo barn]

in the middle

[paper crag]

i guess seoul london ny is top tier

[humble moth]

low mid

[indigo barn]

if its all koreans then yes it is top tier

[glacial sleet]

boston was tier 1 last season

[paper crag]

is boston > SFS, philly, LAV, LAG?

[indigo barn]

nyxl at top bc no one can fking beat them

[fading wasp]

All I know is that Shanghai is the only S-tier team

[glacial sleet]

idk what happened

[humble moth]

no

[paper crag]

and outlaws?

[humble moth]

not at all farfarfo

[indigo barn]

outlaws is a fking bottom tier team now

i'm so pissed

[dusk garden]

SHD is gonna make a comeback, boston doesnt have the power of taimoue

[indigo barn]

outlaws just got beat by a team, that got beaten by la gladiators, that got beaten by the fking dallas fuel

it doesnt make 3 quick maths

what is overwatch league anymore

[glacial sleet]

dallas fuel

[dusk garden]

that got beaten by sf shock

[glacial sleet]

is the best team

[dusk garden]

so sf shock is best team

[indigo barn]

dallas fuel sux

dallas food is good

dallas food is op asf

[paper crag]

ugh i love nepal but this is my least favorite nepal map

[glacial sleet]

sf shock beaten by la valiant

[paper crag]

the shrine, that is

[dusk garden]

what about dallas taimoue?

[glacial sleet]

that makes

[indigo barn]

fuk it i'm gonna watch one more map of this massacre

[glacial sleet]

taimoue the best team in the game

[paper crag]

whoo sanctum

[indigo barn]

btw on a completely unrelated note

[paper crag]

best nepal map

[indigo barn]

the map where i lose the most in comp

is

that map

the space map

wtf is it called

[paper crag]

horizon?

[indigo barn]

yeah that fking map

[dusk garden]

you are obviously not a lucio main

[indigo barn]

yeah i'm not

so our team can never get point a

and we can never defend point a

[paper crag]

that low gravity area is so pointless

[dusk garden]

thats relatable

[indigo barn]

i always cringe in pain whenever that map comes up

[fading wasp]

why is shanghai so bad

[indigo barn]

because they're mad

[fading wasp]

I mean

[dusk garden]

because taimoue isnt with them

[fading wasp]

why are they so damn good

[glacial sleet]

they are not bad

[paper crag]

they don't know how to properly hold back their strength

[dusk garden]

because taimoue is with them

[glacial sleet]

they are playing 4D CHESS

they are gonna sweep the korean teams

[humble moth]

because theyre chinese not korean

[paper crag]

so they look too weak when they hold back, but if they don't, they're gonna be too good

[indigo barn]

yo they took this map from seoul, or somebody, i forget

[paper crag]

they haven't mastered how to hold back effectively

[fading wasp]

But seriously, is it just that their players aren't up to snuff? Is it something else?

[paper crag]

someone mentioned that pretty much all SHD players were top 100

[indigo barn]

kazper just pulled off that jake pharah move that never worked, but he made it work

[paper crag]

so i'm guessing it's not individual skill problem

[indigo barn]

the surprise barrage

[fading wasp]

They just don't play as a team well then?

[indigo barn]

no one in OWL has the problem of skill

its all about the team

[fading wasp]

I've noticed some weird team comps

[glacial sleet]

I think they can't play dive

but play deathball pretty well

[paper crag]

i mean, yes everyone on OWL has impeccable skill, but i think there's still skill difference between OWL players

[indigo barn]

why is there no lucioball in owl

[glacial sleet]

maybe they just need to find an identity, like dalas fuel

[indigo barn]

i can feel it in the commentators, they just wanna scream "WHY DOES SHANGHAI SUCK SO MUCH"

[paper crag]

the worst OWL player is still probably an untouchable god compared to the general playerbase, but we're not the ones playing in OWL

[indigo barn]

but they cover up with comments that just allude to it

[fading wasp]

That isn't stopping Boston making Shanghai look like potatoes

[glacial sleet]

I once solo earth shattered ulting Kariv in quickplay

[indigo barn]

gg xushu when that pharah duel

[glacial sleet]

feelsgoodman

[paper crag]

i just want to kill a pro in an overwatch game

[fading wasp]

Who's Kariv?

[glacial sleet]

hes in la valiant

[paper crag]

and i can die happily

[fading wasp]

Ah

[indigo barn]

the man who needs to leave valiant so that houston can win

[glacial sleet]

the widow

[fading wasp]

Well one time I killed this bronze player

That was dope

[glacial sleet]

I've seen joemeister in qp

[indigo barn]

agilities and silkthread just lost their jobs

[glacial sleet]

with a bunch of bizzyfan smurfs

[dusk garden]

taimoue

[glacial sleet]

and one of them got potg as mei

lul

[fading wasp]

Heh

[paper crag]

boston feels like discount NYXL

idk why

[indigo barn]

i've seen a ryujehong tho but i think it was a fake..... 150+ hours on torjorn....

[paper crag]

probably the color scheme

[indigo barn]

yes boston is definitely nyxl

[glacial sleet]

always check their profiles lol

[indigo barn]

exceept 10 times worse

[glacial sleet]

Seen iiremixx in deathmatch

[dusk garden]

ok im going to bed

good night

[indigo barn]

goodnight, TAIMOUE.

sweet dreams

[pastel phoenix]

[indigo barn]

taimoue.

[fading wasp]

what did he used to be called

I don't remember who he is

[indigo barn]

his name was

farfarfao.

[dusk garden]

I was Altair

[fading wasp]

ah

[paper crag]

begone false taimoue

i will take your throne

[indigo barn]

i have big tits

good night

[dusk garden]

stfu im the original taimoue

[glacial sleet]

technically

[dusk garden]

im the one who laughed at it for 15 minutes

[glacial sleet]

frozen is taimoue ::p

[tall sierra]

Shanghai SMH...

[dusk garden]

true

but i was the first to nickname myself taimoue

[fading wasp]

Shanghai is just biding its time

[dusk garden]

anyways good night

[paper crag]

reverse sweep incoming

[tall sierra]

They are waiting for Geguri...

[glacial sleet]

sleep tight, taimoue

[tall sierra]

Maybe that will allow them to open up a bit

[paper crag]

good night, sweet prince

[tall sierra]

Good night for those going night night

[fading wasp]

You know that whole thing in Black Panther with the suit absorbing hits? Shanghai is like that but with losses. They turn them into V I C T O R Y

[hearty kraken]

weed pill?

wtf

[fading wasp]

weird ass idea for a tv show

[hearty kraken]

overwatch fans are all dirty potheads

[fading wasp]

Nah man, I'm just dirty

[glacial sleet]

SHD CAN STILL WIN THIS

[fading wasp]

R E V E R S E S W E E P

[paper crag]

but will they? or are they too benevolent

[tall sierra]

Reverse sweep in their sleep lol

[paper crag]

are they too patient

[tall sierra]

Shanghai is and has been a lost cause..sorry to say..

[fading wasp]

Sextuple torb comp

[tall sierra]

Geguri is the only hope to turn things around

[hearty kraken]

they ignore dps like my dad ignores me

[tall sierra]

Shanghai at ZERO wins and sitting at soon to be -50 is pathetic

So sad

I feel bad for them

[pastel phoenix]

Chinese team too humble to beat other teams, very respectable 🐍

[tall sierra]

And I'm rooting for them

[paper crag]

why do you think geguri is joining shd? it's because she realizes that shd is the true destined winner of OWL

[hearty kraken]

literally let striker run around the point for no reason

[fading wasp]

I'd love to see a OWL game with No Limits on

Or OWL Mystery Heroes

[paper crag]

at least one set of OWL should be mystery heroes

[glacial sleet]

hell nah

[hearty kraken]

too much rng my dude

[glacial sleet]

I'd rather see 4v4

[paper crag]

you gotta test your luck

[tall sierra]

Yea but Geguri speaking Korean, while the rest speaking Mandarin ...

[hearty kraken]

imagine the NFL having a set for randomly inflated balls

[paper crag]

if RNGesus doesn't want you to win, then you shouldn't win

[fading wasp]

It's the exactly correct amount of RNG

[pastel phoenix]

Team Deathmatch!

[tall sierra]

That's just as hard as English to Korean..

[fading wasp]

Like, it wouldn't count for anything

[tall sierra]

If not harder

[fading wasp]

Just exhibition matches

[pastel phoenix]

or what about ctf

[paper crag]

i do think the all star matches might end up being arcade modes though

[glacial sleet]

should shangai have been a contenders team instead

[paper crag]

unless they're going to have serious games with all star teams

[hearty kraken]

i get ptsd flashbacks from watching shangai ignore tracer

it's like they're all my teammates in gold

[paper crag]

but i'd prefer seeing all star teams play wacky modes

[glacial sleet]

if shangai was a way to appease to chinese audience

feelsbadman

[slim summit]

wow

did people not stay to watch this match

[hearty kraken]

all the good players went to western teams

[slim summit]

the stadium seems much more empty

[errant kayak]

does the desk seem super tired

to anyone else

[tall sierra]

This match is a lost cause..

The announcers are all so low energy lol

[errant kayak]

Goldenboy doesn't bring the same energy that Puckett does

[pastel phoenix]

Why aren't they constantly pointing out meme signs like usual?

[errant kayak]

They're half asleep

[paper crag]

all the good players DID go to western teams, but chinese pro gaming community is also kind of notoriously xenophobic

[fading wasp]

I'd love an option to tune into each team's comms. It'd be interesting to listen to.

[paper crag]

until they feel like they need to buy koreans to win

[tall sierra]

Goldenboy doesn't want to watch this game lol....it's a waste of time... realistically speaking.

Sad I know

Feelsbadman

[paper crag]

that realization just came faster than usual for SHD compared to other games

[tall sierra]

Yea it's interesting that Shanghai is dipping into the Korean pool of players

[fading wasp]

"it's looking rough out there"

Understatement of the year

[tall sierra]

I mean look at last game... LAV having 3 Korean based players on the roster against Houston.. and smashed them

[paper crag]

also, SHD is related to LGD, which has been exposed to be pretty shady in the last few years

to be fair, Soon wailed on Outlaws

and he's not Korean

although the Koreans on LAV did play a huge role

[tall sierra]

I hope OWL doesn't get political behind the scenes 😦

Oh for sure..Soon did awesome.

[glacial sleet]

dude

[tall sierra]

It's a well greased team..LAV that is

[glacial sleet]

theres alot of drama behind the scenes

[tall sierra]

Yea I bet

[errant kayak]

OWL is super rough bts so far

[tall sierra]

My emphasis was more so...darn...sucks

[errant kayak]

XQC is ready to abandon the owl

[paper crag]

you wanna hear a juicy piece of drama?

[errant kayak]

SHD is a disaster with corruption accusations in how the team was created

[paper crag]

geguri was accused of hacking in the early days because she was so good

[tall sierra]

Deep pockets?

[errant kayak]

just read those posts

there's a lot of info in them

[paper crag]

there were players who accused her, and said they would quit overwatch and never go pro again if she wasn't hacking

one of them is xepher on dynasty

of course, geguri wasn't hacking

[tall sierra]

Tall order..yikes

[fading wasp]

The first team that loses to the Dragons won't have a very nice day

[paper crag]

i hope seoul is the first team to lose to SHD lol

[tall sierra]

lol...yea it'll be interesting

[paper crag]

with geguri and xepher both in the game

[tall sierra]

Noo not Seoul 😛

[fading wasp]

Or NYXL, even though they're "my team"

[calm token]

Didn't Seoul just play them?

[tall sierra]

Seoul's my team... well my APEX players are my team

[errant kayak]

Flow3r was also on the team, but he said he didn't want anything to do with the hackusations

[paper crag]

yeah

[tall sierra]

Which so happens to be Seoul, London and NYXL lol

[paper crag]

i mean in like stage 3 or something

[fading wasp]

They won a map against Seoul's B-Team

[tall sierra]

I've said it before...the team cities are just a label...

[calm token]

Houston's been messing up :/

[tall sierra]

Means nothing as we know

[forest wharf]

depends if its before or after they get the new players...if someone loses to them in their current state they might as well quit owl

[fading wasp]

I know it is

[tall sierra]

Well with the exception of Seoul

Everything else is... a mixture of NA/EU/KOrean

[fading wasp]

That's why I put it in quotes

[paper crag]

i don't think you have to be from NY to represent NY

or whatever

[tall sierra]

True

Not saying one does..

But like with London...

ROFL

Lucky for London

[forest wharf]

nyxl is also all korean

[tall sierra]

Yes

[calm token]

If you had to be from somewhere to play for the team theyd be so one sided lmao.

[paper crag]

Mayhem is all Scandinavian + 1 German + 2 Koreans

[tall sierra]

Seoul, NYXL and London is ALL Korean

Most of OWL has more than 40-50% Korean based players

[paper crag]

nobody from FL

[tall sierra]

Yea..

@calm token

ikr right?. haha

[paper crag]

i think Outlaws is the only team with the majority being from US

and even then, i doubt they're all from Houston

[fading wasp]

NYC is a super diverse city. Probably one of the most diverse in North America.

[errant kayak]

If II'm remembering correctly

[tall sierra]

Yup..NYXL is crazy diverse..same with So. Cal

And NW

[paper crag]

if the ownership is based on the city, i'm fine with a team calling itself by that city's name

[tall sierra]

^

[paper crag]

regardless of the members' origins

[calm token]

I would say LA is prob more diverse @fading wasp

[tall sierra]

https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/standings

The standings are as they should be...

As predicted that is

Well not in any particular order, but the top 4 yea..

[paper crag]

and nyxl will be living in ny once owl infrastructure is complete, right?

same with other teams with their cities

[errant kayak]

Honestly the main issue I have with Xepher is that he changed his username to avoid the fallout of the situation

But with the way they've been handling any form of toxicity

[paper crag]

yeah that's pretty scummy

[errant kayak]

he'll be slammed at the first minor incident

[tall sierra]

Dang..

[errant kayak]

based on recent drama, xqc is getting slammed for stuff that doesn't appear to be stuff he should be getting slammed for

[fading wasp]

What'd xQc do?

And Xepher?

[errant kayak]

nobody knows we just know he's super pissed at something

[paper crag]

i wonder if xepher will be hit very hard though, since he hasn't had any incident on owl

[errant kayak]

xepher was part of Dizziness

under the name of Friez3

and Dizziness was known for being super toxic

[fading wasp]

Ah

[paper crag]

and idk how many people know about the geguri hack accusation incident

[tall sierra]

Man these announcers want to go home already ...can hear it in their voices lol

[errant kayak]

they're the ones who called Geguri a hacker

and said they'd give up pro overwatch if they weren't hacking

[tall sierra]

It was well known in Korea, but it was partial ..

[errant kayak]

geguri wasn't hacking

[fading wasp]

He's just speaking monotonously

[tall sierra]

Most thought it was BS

[glacial sleet]

woah

[errant kayak]

Friez3 changed his name to Xepher

[paper crag]

one of the teammates also threatened to murder geguri

[errant kayak]

yeah

Friez3 changed his name to Xepher

[glacial sleet]

dallas fuel got anew main tank

[tall sierra]

In terms of it not being true

[errant kayak]

and now he's in Seoul

[calm token]

Lol well you can see the viewership tanks when Shanghai starts playing xD

[paper crag]

flower was on the same team but was against accusing her

[errant kayak]

yeah

[paper crag]

janus was also on the same team but wanted to stay out of it

[tall sierra]

Yea LOL... 88K

vs. ~150K's

[glacial sleet]

dallas fuel is finally replacing xQc

[tall sierra]

Sadly.. no one wants to watch Shanghai...feelsbadman...

[errant kayak]

ehh

[balmy wolf]

It could just be that it's late

[tall sierra]

It's a waste of time to the majority

[errant kayak]

shanghai is fun to watch

[tall sierra]

Really is

[errant kayak]

when it's not like this

[balmy wolf]

it's midnight for me

[tall sierra]

Yea..

I'm watching haha

[errant kayak]

yesterday was great

also it's the last match of the day

[balmy wolf]

i stopped watching cuz its midnight

[tall sierra]

We're al here 😛

[paper crag]

i wonder if non-chinese people still watching shd are the ones who want to be there for shd's first victory

[balmy wolf]

school/work day

[paper crag]

just for the lulz

[forest wharf]

xqcs shit is usually valid, if you want to go pro you cant act like a fucktard all the time

[calm token]

I've seen when they're the first to play and viewership is still always at 80-90k when they play.

[fading wasp]

xQc is a streamer, right? Is there anything wrong with him in particular? All I know is that he's pretty excitable.

[errant kayak]

yeah he's a streamer

[glacial sleet]

I think the blame lies with kyky

[errant kayak]

XQC, EFFECT, and Mickie all say it's their fault

[glacial sleet]

the coach of fuel

[errant kayak]

people on the outside say it's kyky

[tall sierra]

The issue with SHD is that they don't have structure... very predictable

[glacial sleet]

but I don't know

[errant kayak]

I mean

when half your players are blaming themselves on twitter

and you're saying "I can't fix problems out of my control"

[tall sierra]

If you notice .. a lot of SHD kills are from lucky dives or picks... like crap shoot kills

Throw it on the wall and see waht sticks type

[paper crag]

what i'm worried about geguri joining shd is that they won't be able to make flexible strategies

[calm token]

You can tell they're no where near as good as the other teams.

[errant kayak]

shd is most likely going to be changing styles soon

well here's the thing

[paper crag]

focusing is probably fine even if you don't share a language

[tall sierra]

Yea..

[errant kayak]

SHD had been sticking to very questionable strats for a while

such as feedston

[tall sierra]

Good point @paper crag

yea..

[paper crag]

but the moment you need to adapt mid-game and say complex things

it's gonna be so clunky

[fading wasp]

For a while I though Geguri was a meme spelling of Genji.

[glacial sleet]

press Q to respawn

[calm token]

Lmao

[tall sierra]

Yall know what Geguri means in Korean right?

[paper crag]

Geguri has a smurf account, Genguri

[fading wasp]

"Shanghai is the best team"

[tall sierra]

Well Keguri = Frog

[errant kayak]

the sad part is that Geguri is gonna be coming in over halfway through Kings Row being in rotation

[fading wasp]

Gfrog?

[errant kayak]

and then there's scrimming

I doubt they'd throw her in right away

So she's gonna miss one of her best maps

[calm token]

Are all the SHD players Chinese? Or are they mixed. Jw.

[fading wasp]

I quite like playing on King's Row

[errant kayak]

as well as volskaya which is another map zarya shows up on

[tall sierra]

Geguri = Crab

[fading wasp]

It's a fun map

[paper crag]

Korea map when

[errant kayak]

Most people consider kings row the best map in the game

[tall sierra]

It's a fun map indeed

[errant kayak]

28% kings row

[paper crag]

geguri is most definitely not crab

[errant kayak]

13% liijang (I think it was liijang?)

[fading wasp]

Behind Horizon: Lunar Colony of course

[calm token]

Lijiang I think

[spring lintel]

Lol rez gg

[forest wharf]

as a lucio main, ilios best map(except ruins, fuck that shit)

[errant kayak]

Surprisingly Horizon is above Numbani and Volskaya

that surprises me

[fading wasp]

Hm

[paper crag]

i'm indifferent towards numbani and volskaya

[fading wasp]

I don't really mind any of the maps

[errant kayak]

Volskaya can be grating

[tall sierra]

Route 66

[paper crag]

i feel like horizon is very un-overwatchy

[errant kayak]

a match or two of Volskaya is nice

But if you keep getting volskaya

you just want to die

[paper crag]

i have no idea why i feel that way, but it just feels like it doesn't belong in overwatch

[errant kayak]

it's the design

also

MG is carrying so hard

[tall sierra]

Would you guys feel comfortable going up against Shanghai in a skrim?

I don't think it'll be skerry at all

[glacial sleet]

horizon, blizzard world horrible maps

[paper crag]

i know i'll be losing, so why wouldn't i be comfortable lol

[glacial sleet]

I like oasis and think it fits well

[fading wasp]

I would be very comfortable, as I'd already know I'd lose, so there's nothing to get stressed about.

[tall sierra]

blizzard world...uugghh...i agreee...eww

Best looking tho

[paper crag]

i'll consider it a win if i can get a kill

[glacial sleet]

dude like

blizzard world is so wierd

[fading wasp]

I'd consider it a win if I got out of spawn

[glacial sleet]

the highground

[indigo barn]

its so fun tho

[glacial sleet]

the middle of the map

[tall sierra]

Yea it is haha

[errant kayak]

I really like Blizzard World

[glacial sleet]

and the last point of the map

[paper crag]

blizz world feels so big when you first play it

but it's really not. it just feels really big because there are so many things around lol

like so many elements in the map

[errant kayak]

so is shanghai just god-tier at kings row

[tall sierra]

I'd really want to see my squad play against Shanghai for giggles.. I don't think it'll be lopsided

[paper crag]

i feel like blizz world is kind of complex for the sake of complexity though

[indigo barn]

blizz world is flanker heaven

[tall sierra]

Yea blizzworld is unique..

[glacial sleet]

Junkertown is OK... but I really feel like on second point of junker, the highground flank should have been on the ground instead

[paper crag]

same with horizon, except it's not "complex" but the low gravity area was so pointless

[errant kayak]

I mean

it's there for rp

And that's it

[paper crag]

yeah

[indigo barn]

most of my sr loss is on horizon

[errant kayak]

same as the little house on Volskaya

[paper crag]

i just wish it was more integrated to the gameplay

but then again, the low grav probably gives too big of an advantage to defenders

depending on where it is

[errant kayak]

well they said they tried it and it was fun at first

[pastel phoenix]

watch Shanghai not get the point now

[errant kayak]

projectiles became useless

[tall sierra]

Shanghai will only get the point if Boston feelsbad for them

[indigo barn]

yo did boston legit not take point B?

[forest wharf]

this triple tank comp...they really want to stick with this

[paper crag]

they never commit and actually go quad tank

[tall sierra]

Boston should go all tank for giggles

Why not eh?

[indigo barn]

quad tank was the sht

[tall sierra]

He's playing with his left hand today on the mouse lol 😛

This is so sad to watch..

[errant kayak]

I mean

[paper crag]

maybe shd's strategy is to make the opponent team feel bad by losing first two sets, the opponent gives them a free set, then shd wins the next two games

[indigo barn]

are they not even gonna get the first point after a wicked defense

[errant kayak]

everyone in the studio sounds dead right now

the casters

[indigo barn]

man shanghai screws up every single chance they get

[errant kayak]

the analysts

[tall sierra]

yea haha

[errant kayak]

the crowd

[tall sierra]

totally dead

like..uugghh get it over already

[fading wasp]

damn he wasted that tire

[tall sierra]

Nice strat with the tire

ROFL

[fading wasp]

INTIMITIRE

[forest wharf]

feel like roshan is dead more than hes alive

[tall sierra]

Wow

[glacial sleet]

SHD REVERSE SWEEP

[paper crag]

lol undead switched to zarya at the end

[pastel phoenix]

0-4watch

[errant kayak]

@forest wharf they've played feedston a lot

in the past

they're moving away from it

but it's basically

[tall sierra]

Shanghai should have just got pirate ship....protecting the Rein ROFL

[indigo barn]

yo they're legit tired

[pastel phoenix]

NO U TURNS 🚫

[indigo barn]

they want this to end

[tall sierra]

my gosh...feelsbadman

[indigo barn]

like what's the point of watching

[errant kayak]

Throw Roshan in to make space, have undead and diya pop off

[indigo barn]

boston 4-0 ez everyone can go home now

[errant kayak]

which doesn't really work against OWL teams

[paper crag]

shanghai needed to go rein orisa dva mercy zen all pocketing bastion

[errant kayak]

works decently in ladder

[tall sierra]

Ok OW time lol

[paper crag]

lol

[tall sierra]

After watching Shanghai we can feel like Pro's now..

[paper crag]

i mean, in my case, i make my opponents feel like pros

[errant kayak]

Honestly I feel like SHD should just go for some more unique strats at this point

[paper crag]

but alright

[indigo barn]

i had better teams in bronze

[errant kayak]

beat them with unique strats

[tall sierra]

^

[errant kayak]

Throw them off their game

[paper crag]

i feel like it's so hard to make "unique" strats that also work in OW though

[forest wharf]

theyre just playing the "waiting for koreans" strat

[paper crag]

because there's such a big gap between essential heroes and trash tier heroes

[indigo barn]

shanghai goes all support ez clap

[onyx shore]

how's shanghai doing so far?

[indigo barn]

shanghai is fking winning bro

[paper crag]

so you can't really make any unexpected yet effective lineup

[forest wharf]

how do you thinl

[indigo barn]

they're dominating this sht rn

[errant kayak]

ehh

[indigo barn]

boston doesnt stand a chance

[onyx shore]

damn

[indigo barn]

they're about to take this 4-0 home

shanghai's first win mate

[onyx shore]

as expected of my chinese gangsta

[kindred flicker]

Shanghai have the tools available to them in half of Stage-2 onward, but will the coaching staff and management be able to form a cohesive unit?

[indigo barn]

how do you get jump pack kills

how much damage does that even do

[onyx shore]

by dropping

[paper crag]

i think max 45

[onyx shore]

into the enemy

yeah

[indigo barn]

oh fr

[paper crag]

has falloff though

you have to land on them and punch for burst

[indigo barn]

yo they are just stoned

[onyx shore]

i think i've got 3 jumpack kill simultaneously back then

[errant kayak]

they're half asleep

[indigo barn]

they're so done yo

[paper crag]

winston jet pack is so hard to control though

[onyx shore]

who is that beauty behind boston

[paper crag]

maybe it's just me, but i can't control the distance

[onyx shore]

the one with beautiful hair

like thor

[indigo barn]

yo they gave this benchwarmer some game time

[onyx shore]

ah

[errant kayak]

There are some tricks to getting good at controlling the distance

[indigo barn]

bro they're so tired

[onyx shore]

shanghai games casted by semmler and hex

so fitting

[paper crag]

like how do you make short distance jumps

[tall sierra]

Whooaa... they look like they're drunk lol

[onyx shore]

hold s before jumping

[paper crag]

i either overshoot it or have to jump real high

[indigo barn]

how many ppl are even watching online rn

[onyx shore]

you can short jump with that

[humble moth]

8000000

[indigo barn]

nice.

[paper crag]

are you serious? so basically move backwards before using jetpack?

[errant kayak]

Are we sure semmler isn't high

[onyx shore]

yeah

[paper crag]

huh

[kindred flicker]

80-83K now

[onyx shore]

your jump will be shorter

[paper crag]

by how much though lol

[indigo barn]

screw it might as well watch the last map

[onyx shore]

30-40% shorter probably

[paper crag]

is the backwards movement constantly being registered during the jetpack jump

[onyx shore]

i never estimate

[paper crag]

i guess that's how the mechanics work

[onyx shore]

there's also another jump trick

when winston jump

he did two damage

when he leap

and when he drops

[tall sierra]

Shanghai go all tank! 100% tank... their best chance

[indigo barn]

they're a gold team that wants to go all dps

i can feel it

[tall sierra]

LOL

[onyx shore]

you can make your leaping damage bigger but dropping damage smaller

[paper crag]

?

[onyx shore]

do you see how some winston jump first before using jump pack

[paper crag]

not really, but i'm guessing you're talking about the regular jump before using jetpack?

[onyx shore]

yeah

[supple prism]

it flips the damage

[onyx shore]

yeah the bigger damage is now on your jumping point not dropping point

[supple prism]

hard to time it though

i can only randomly do it

[onyx shore]

it also makes you jump higher,right?

[paper crag]

and you do that by jet packing midair, right? not after you land from the regular jump?

[supple prism]

slightly i guess

[onyx shore]

yeah

if im not mistaken

[paper crag]

interesting

[onyx shore]

the signs that you're doing it corectly

[supple prism]

its using jump pack mid normal jump

[onyx shore]

is your screen kinda shakes

[paper crag]

i wish i could dps well but i feel like tank is a better role for me

but could never get the hang of winston

[onyx shore]

the trick is to press jumpack before your left arm disappear from the screen

[indigo barn]

bro they're getting dismantled so easily

it isnt even funny

[tall sierra]

My gosh...slaughtered ..

Yea..

:?

[indigo barn]

sometimes u just gotta wonder

what are they doing in owl

[onyx shore]

wekk

[glacial sleet]

REVERSE SWEEP INCOMING BOIS

[onyx shore]

well

[indigo barn]

you're right

[onyx shore]

i give them props

[indigo barn]

NEVER GIVE UP HOPE

[tall sierra]

With jokes aside..this is like watching _____.. fill in the blank lol

[onyx shore]

that they still try hard

if it's me

i think i'll just throw everymap

using attack sym/torb

[tall sierra]

Plats vs Bronze?

[indigo barn]

but attack torb is actually gud brah

[tall sierra]

I'm telling ya..SHD needs to go all tanks

That is their only hope

[onyx shore]

not on this level though

[indigo barn]

you never know dude

[tall sierra]

Watch Boston all emote on top of the payload 🙈

That pulse tho

Yikers

[indigo barn]

man they're just making striker look like freakin bunny rn

[tall sierra]

Yea haha

[onyx shore]

how do you play with diagonal positioned keyboard like that?

[tall sierra]

Ya know..I've tried once..

[indigo barn]

or munckin

[tall sierra]

It's comfy

But odd

lol

[onyx shore]

i think this guy from mayhem

[tall sierra]

About 45 degrees felt comfy

[onyx shore]

on top of using keyboard like that

he pulls the screen closer to his face

[indigo barn]

undead better stay on the fking attack torb

[tall sierra]

hahahahahha

pants come off? yikes

[indigo barn]

yo are they legit just gonna throw this

[tall sierra]

Keep it PG guys haha

[onyx shore]

yeah

[tawdry acorn]

Shanghai has some really awesome players. I really don't understand how they get walked. Something is up with coaching, or cohesion.

[onyx shore]

i bet there' are players who remove their pants in the desk

[indigo barn]

bro if they actually throw this that'd be so sad

[onyx shore]

like

[tall sierra]

I'm not kidding guys.... SHD all tanks... please

[onyx shore]

playing overwatch with long pants is uncomfortable

[indigo barn]

nah maybe a quad tank

that'd be cool

[tall sierra]

Forget soldier ...go Rein

[forest wharf]

but their tank play is shit

[onyx shore]

this is 3-1-2

[tall sierra]

Yea that makes it worse..

They'd cover more ground with Rein...ever so slightly..

Undead is shooting at air..

[indigo barn]

yo just realized kellex was on dps

[tall sierra]

^^

[onyx shore]

what is this moira positioning

[indigo barn]

they're literally giving 0 shts rn

[tall sierra]

Wait did undead even get a kill yet?

[indigo barn]

this is just mad disrespect to shanghai

[onyx shore]

i kinda feel bad for the caster

[indigo barn]

bro if shanghai doesnt push this with a full ult bank

[glacial sleet]

DON'T GIVE UP YET, REVERSE SWEEP INCOMING

[tall sierra]

Haha wow

ouch

[indigo barn]

man i cant even anymore

[tall sierra]

Falling like bowling pins..

[indigo barn]

what even is this

[tall sierra]

Strike every hit

[tawdry acorn]

folded like wet towels

[tall sierra]

ikr :/ so sad

[kindred flicker]

That should do it

[indigo barn]

why is boston even trying rn

they could totally just chill

and win anyway

[onyx shore]

hear how silent the crowd

lul

[kindred flicker]

It's still worthwhile to get practice

[indigo barn]

yo am i tripping or

[tall sierra]

Yea so quite we can hear OW charcters foot steps

eeks

[forest wharf]

lol neko isnt even trying to heal

[onyx shore]

semmler is trying not to shit on shd

must be hard

[indigo barn]

bro its gonna suck hard for shanghai

[tall sierra]

..when a team has to hold back due to feelsbadman... lol

[indigo barn]

they go up against fusion next week

and nyxl

then houston

and london

[tall sierra]

Yea they are at a point of no return now...

-50 ish after this game

[tawdry acorn]

"a chance"

[tall sierra]

Mathematically that's...

[indigo barn]

bro shanghai is gonna get 4-0'ed every single game after this

[onyx shore]

this is kinda unfair

[kindred flicker]

Going to have to wait until season 2

[tall sierra]

I want shanghai to sweep houston 😛

That would make this all worth it

[onyx shore]

kinda unfair to the team that dont get to play against shd

[tawdry acorn]

Jake traded to Shanghai

[onyx shore]

it's basically free 3 or 4 map win

[tawdry acorn]

unparalleled 4-0's

[tall sierra]

Jake likes Korean BBQ too much lol..

He's actually hangs with the Korean chaps often...

[indigo barn]

jake duo queues with sbb sometimes

if anything he'd join nyxl

[forest wharf]

geguris and ado supposed to be here next week though so theres that

[tawdry acorn]

Worldly man

[onyx shore]

they can be here next week

but can they play?

[tall sierra]

NYXL is already over the top OP even with their B squad it's crazy

[onyx shore]

even if they can

[indigo barn]

but heck yeah shanghai signs jake

Nyxl doesnt have a b squad

thats seoul

[onyx shore]

idk how they gonna coordinate

[indigo barn]

nyxl has like, 8 people

[forest wharf]

i mean, i'd assume they would just throw them in because why not

[tall sierra]

Fair enough..NYXL is all A squad

[indigo barn]

yeah

[onyx shore]

yeah

[forest wharf]

not like they can play any worse

[indigo barn]

london can have a b squad

[kindred flicker]

Considering communication issues, they would still likely due better with them

[indigo barn]

seoul has their b squad

[onyx shore]

and have 4 chinese 2 koreans that never met before?

[indigo barn]

but nyxl is tight man

[onyx shore]

and can't communicate with each other?

[indigo barn]

YO WHY ARE BOSTON SO HAPPY

[onyx shore]

that will be a horrible debut for geguri

[tall sierra]

...that feeling when you're in the octagon and am forced to put them out of their misery ....

Yikes

[tawdry acorn]

boston just beat a hurt puppy

[forest wharf]

doesnt look like they communicate now lol

[tawdry acorn]

call peta

[tall sierra]

yea..

I couldn't do it..

Poor puppy man..

[indigo barn]

what even dude

[onyx shore]

shd should do a spiritual retreat

[indigo barn]

desk is asleep

[tall sierra]

SHD looks so out of it...like emotionally drained

[onyx shore]

vacation to china

go to yulin

eat some dog meat

[tall sierra]

Haha these fools just woke up

[onyx shore]

power up

[tall sierra]

hahahah

You can tell..

[indigo barn]

oh no the dragons got swept big surprise

[onyx shore]

beat everyone

[tawdry acorn]

i just dont get it. undead, altering, and roshan are all so good

[indigo barn]

Isn't that much to break down

PRETTY MUCH

[onyx shore]

the desk sounds so sad

wtf

[tawdry acorn]

desk has their B team as well

[indigo barn]

they're hiding it

[tall sierra]

Big time

[indigo barn]

but they just wanna say that shanghai sucks

"oh shanghai made some bad decisions"

no they just suck

[kindred flicker]

Yeah, their communication and teamwork issues are evident now. However, they will likely wait a bit longer for Geguri, Ado and Fearless to get some terms down.

[tall sierra]

^

[indigo barn]

"theyre sturggling, they ahve some glory in this map"

no the just suck

[onyx shore]

true

[indigo barn]

i mean i dont wanna beat on them
