yeah

#

for ladder and pro play

onyx shore
#

what did he play that 3 season?

dreamy belfry
#

He didn't stream or anything

#

just went silent

forest wharf
#

with himself probably

dreamy belfry
#

onyx shore
#

lul

worn falcon
#

Like taking a break from O

dreamy belfry
#

Im sure he played something. He has too much talent to not play

worn falcon
#

*OW

dreamy belfry
#

But he said many times that he doesn't want to go pro if he can make a decent living streaming

#

and he actually has changed, he rarely says anything even remotely toxic now

onyx shore
#

ah i see

#

well

dreamy belfry
#

So he'll probably just stream for a while

onyx shore
#

if you're succesful as streamer

#

i think its better to be a streamer

#

less pressure

#

more money

dreamy belfry
#

He's rank 1 and 2 in the world right now, so he

forest wharf
#

inb4 xqc pulls a dspstanky

dreamy belfry
#

so he'll never be unsuccessful

onyx shore
#

less fame and glory,but ehh...

dreamy belfry
#

xqc can't quit overwatch

worn falcon
#

Yep, that's why I'm seeing that childish attitude from xqc

dreamy belfry
#

He just can't lol

onyx shore
#

nah

#

he can just play fortnite or pubg and still make money

frozen yew
#

J OMEGALUL K E R A T

dreamy belfry
#

He loves overwatch too much

#

pubg is boring as fuck to watch, idk how doc made money streaming it

worn falcon
#

Yes PUBG is boring to watch

dreamy belfry
#

Fortnite, yeah, but i don't think he's as dedicated/addicted to it

tall sierra
#

Love it @frozen yew ... I'm using that one ... I'll happily buy the patent for that LOL

worn falcon
#

Camping and stuff

onyx shore
#

apparently not for many people

forest wharf
#

you could've said that about dsp, literally the only thing he was known for was his lucio play in ow and quit his job for it then immediately quits overwatch lol

dreamy belfry
#

that's why pubg viewership dropped a ton as soon as fortnite came out

worn falcon
#

Anyways, when Mayhem is stomping Outlaws? :zaryalol:

onyx shore
#

i'm waiting for overwatch own version of battle royale

#

that would be a good esport

#

kappa

dreamy belfry
#

I thought that PTSDanky dude was stanky for a while and it made me sad when i found out it wasn't lol

#

I just want h1z1 to stop being shit. it used to be the perfect BR game haha

forest wharf
#

lol, nah hes not anywhere near as good as stanky was

worn falcon
#

At least Mayhem has improved, meanwhile Dragons

#

Damn it

dreamy belfry
#

Dragons has improved though

onyx shore
#

i wish the tiebreaker will be 1v1 or 3v3

dreamy belfry
#

Undead is missing more shots though,,,

onyx shore
#

that would be nice for change

indigo barn
#

linkzr better not get outplayed again

worn falcon
#

Yeah, but I wish Dragons win a complete match instead a map, just 1 before the stage ends

tall sierra
#

Nice head shot

dreamy belfry
#

lol shadder

forest wharf
#

@indigo barn you jinxed it

onyx shore
#

dragons are worse bcos they cant abuse the mercy rez anymore

worn falcon
#

Wew Zen

onyx shore
#

those double mercy rez helped them a lot last stage

dreamy belfry
#

Dragons still have improved, though

#

they have to move away from this suicide tank strat, though

indigo barn
#

LINKZR AINT DONE

dreamy belfry
#

Outlaws are doing ok because jake is back on junkrat

forest wharf
#

honestly think dragons have gave up at this point and are just waiting for the koreans to save them

worn falcon
#

Wasn't Jake usually a Soldier main?

dreamy belfry
#

In world cup, his soldier was impressive

worn falcon
#

Yeah, he was good in world Cup

tall sierra
#

Yea the Dragon's are just dragging on right now... Geguri may be the saving grace.

#

Come on Florida

dreamy belfry
#

I don't think so

indigo barn
#

linkzr just wiped the team

dreamy belfry
#

geguri is good, but idk how well she'll do in OWL

#

I think a lot of people are over hyping her

velvet mauve
#

Geguri's zar is good but zar is niche

forest wharf
#

cant get worse though

tough holly
#

Me: "Oh boy, finally off of work, I just might be able to catch the tail end of Outlaws 4-0ing the Mayhem."

tall sierra
#

verbal roost
#

how much longer before Geguri plays?

tacit aspen
#

I just tuned in. What the fuck is going on?

dreamy belfry
#

She gets away with a lot of greedy/aggressive plays in ladder that she won't be able to do against even a bottom tier OWL team

verbal roost
#

stage 3?

dreamy belfry
#

stage 3

inner coyote
#

outlaws is slowly waking up

verbal roost
#

tawdry acorn

dreamy belfry
#

you know, from carrying jake's ass

worn falcon
#

WTF linkzr

quiet shell
#

LOGIX is the type of widow

#

that says "its gonna work"

dreamy belfry
#

Logix is nutty too

quiet shell
#

and ends up being a kebab at the end of genji's blade and winston's tesla coil

dreamy belfry
#

but linkzr is on a whole other level

quiet shell
#

ya'll remember that widow play from Pine

#

on Junkertown

velvet mauve
#

Widow is kinda needed on that second point though, it's so vertical

quiet shell
#

still have wet dreams of that shit

worn falcon
#

Flower's widow pls

dreamy belfry

Pine is the only mcree as good as calvin imo

Way more hyped for FL0W3R than sinatraa, honestly

quiet shell
#

I dont think Calvin will be signing for OWL though will he

dreamy belfry
#

Flower pharah on oasis ddestroyed USA

#

Calvin doesn't want a team

#

He makes more streaming, with way less stress

quiet shell
#

I dont think he would work in a team

dreamy belfry
#

He would work in a team

indigo barn
#

team korea was fking stacked

dreamy belfry
#

He used to play pro, but his team wasn't great

#

in an OWL tier team, calvin would be a monster

#

and he has an insane hero pool

dusky wren
#

exalted, i just realised why i'm not getting any tokens for map wins

dreamy belfry
#

But he'd just have to stop playing so aggressive on mcree is all lol

No more pool so I'm even more hyped for FL

gritty yacht
#

I like Gibraltr, though I think a lot of people are bored with it since it was one of a handful of maps when OW first came out, so of course we've all played it a metric fucking shitload.

vivid basin

xQc is best

#

Fight me

tall sierra
#

@gritty yacht true that.

whole narwhal
#

I like the loud people

gritty yacht
#

He's a very good tank, though his behavior needs improvement.

vivid basin
#

His behavior is completely fine

whole narwhal
#

His behavior’s the best part about him

quiet shell
#

xQc is no where near best 😛

whole narwhal
#

It’s hilarious

dreamy belfry
#

xqc just got another ban lmao

gritty yacht
#

He's up there, in terms of tanks, he's rather good.

quiet shell
#

4k$$$$$

stable birch
#

he got banned for using his favorite emote lmao

#

people just scapegoating him for nothing at this point

vivid basin
#

Manchildren should man up and stop being so sensitive

whole narwhal
#

Well using an emote (twitch or OVW whatever) is a retarded reason to get banned

gritty yacht
#

So Florida is pushing rather well.

vivid basin
#

Damn soyboys always complaining

dreamy belfry
#

florida has been performing well lol

lthis time he got banned for posting Trihard 7 in the chat

dreamy belfry
#

noiwex, that was the first ban lol

stable birch
#

literally thats it

vivid basin
#

Fuck blizzard really

whole narwhal
#

BANNED FOR POSTING TriHard? WAT

dreamy belfry
#

Why

whole narwhal
#

It isn’t Blizzard that banned him though iirc it’s his dumb team

#

*punished

dreamy belfry
#

Blizzard banned him for 4 matches and fined him 4k

stable birch
#

thats all he did
he posted trihard 7 in the chat and just as he posted it, a black caster happened to pop up on the screen, so its apparently "racist"

whole narwhal
#

Nevermind

vivid basin
#

Team that lost terribly

#

OWL sucks anyway

quiet shell
#

Dallas buying a new main tank too

#

lmfaooo

stable birch
#

even though its literally someone hes on good terms with, and coincidence

gritty yacht
#

The payload has stopped moving.

quiet shell
#

sacking XQC

whole narwhal
#

TriHard isn’t racist wtf

#

Trihex
is awesome

worn falcon
#

There's a code of conduct, also he is representing a team and getting sponsors

stable birch
#

he didnt even do anything

#

he literally used a global emote

dreamy belfry
#

I wish we got blizzards side of the story instead of just XQC's

worn falcon
#

Every sport have a code of conduct

vivid basin
#

CoC by feminists and soyboys

tough holly
#

HE USED THE BLADE

dreamy belfry
#

Of course xqc thinks the ban is bullshit

stable birch
#

he didnt even do anything though

I think ban is bullshit too

velvet mauve

J LUL K E

vast geode

OMG

stable birch

he got banned for using the trihard 7 emote

vast geode
#

WHAT AN IDIOT

vivid basin
#

I wouldn't even pay fine

stable birch
#

thats literally iit

whole narwhal
#

BS code of conduct that means you get into deep shit just for making light dun of the enemy team

dreamy belfry
#

I'm just saying that it might not seem like bullshit if we had the info that blizzard had.

quiet shell
#

yeah

gritty yacht
#

Florida is running out of good opportunities for pushes.

stable birch
#

and he doesnt pay the fine manually, it comes out of his paycheck

forest wharf
#

it was that and like 3 other things

quiet shell
#

do you think E-Sports should be a real Sport? @whole narwhal

stable birch
#

honestly blizz treats its pros like shit, im not gonna support OWL lmao

whole mulch
#

Are you sure about that top

whole narwhal
#

Esports isn’t a real sport

whole mulch
#

blizz doesn't pay him

vivid basin
#

Ahhh might as well stop playing in OWL

onyx shore
#

esport isnt real sport

whole mulch
#

envyus does

dreamy belfry
#

xqc treats people like shit. lmao

onyx shore
#

that's why its called esport

whole narwhal
#

Just like chess, and just like Magic the Gathering

dreamy belfry
#

blizzard hasn't treated anyone like shit

stable birch
#

once xQc gets permabanned, its just gonna be another scapegoat

vivid basin
#

xQc did nothing wrong, really

quiet shell
#

Chess is considered a real sport lol

tough holly
#

Wait, did they use Valk there?!

whole narwhal
#

We don’t call chess or MTG “tabletop sports” or anything stupid like that

#

Well then that’s stupid

forest wharf
#

xqc is literally hitler

dreamy belfry
#

It was his team that fucking extended the first ban. Blizzard's punishment was pretty fair

gritty yacht
#

Florida are setting themselves up for a good opportunity.

vivid basin
#

@dreamy belfry you're blizzard extinguishing team? Gtfo

quiet shell
#

its basic sportsmanship to show respect for the opponent and not talk trash lol

gritty yacht
#

What if Cwoosh didn't play Winston?

onyx shore
#

well,if you are a gamer and you vote hillary you're dumb

stable birch
#

no reason to play this game if they balance it around casual players and dont even treat their pro players fairly

vivid basin
#

No respect for foes

whole narwhal
#

God, even real sports have gotten mega soft

dreamy belfry
#

That's why football has penalty's for being a dick lol

quiet shell
#

well this got political fast lmfao

onyx shore
#

lmao

dreamy belfry
#

top, without casual players, the game doesn't exist

stable birch
#

idk why its political

#

yeah

forest wharf
onyx shore
#

usually it's the one who calls the other nazi first

gritty yacht
#

If Florida's next push isn't succesful, they're going to be up against a wall.

stable birch
#

tho im sure that most people would still play this game if it was balanced around pros

dreamy belfry
#

there's no income and no viewers without the casual crowd

stable birch
#

and it would be a better esport in that case

onyx shore
#

making it political

dreamy belfry
#

Doubt

vivid basin
#

What countries punish for genocide denial?

whole narwhal
#

It’ll always get political if we start talking about whether you should get punished for making fun of the enemy team

stable birch
#

theres a reason so many old pro players outright quit this game lol
blizz doesnt care about pros

vivid basin

Guys, don't you know, gamers are dead

They're sexist

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

REVERSE SWEEEEEEEP

whole narwhal
#

Generally though balancing for high levels works for balancing lower levels

onyx shore
#

winning 3-2 is just kinda weird for outlaws

#

especially against mayhem

whole narwhal
#

Crazy shit pros notice is usually stuff noobs don’t notice/care to use

tall sierra
#

Yea..

fading wasp
#

But he's talking about removing an ability entirely because pros don't make as much use of it compared to lower levels @whole narwhal

#

Fan the Hammer, to be specific

whole narwhal
#

Fan the Hammer would be better if the recoil wasn’t random

onyx shore
#

FTH is for close range

#

pine often uses it

indigo barn
#

well you can't headshot a shield

#

you have to unload damage fast

tawdry acorn
#

Jumping off the map isn't used at low levels, but you see it in every pro game.

#

Why don't you add a suicide button?

whole narwhal
#

McCree doesn’t exactly seem like the type who is supposed to take down shields

indigo barn
#

suicide button would make it to easy

#

you gotta find the sweet release of death

whole narwhal
#

A Suicide button would actually be helpful, like if you NEED to switch char. But is Suiciding balanced around how slow it is to Suicide?

fading wasp
#

All I'm saying is that even if they didn't use it, normal players use it, and thus it should stay in the game.

tawdry acorn
#

Pro players don't use dead eye for kills. Remove it.

whole narwhal
#

Oh yeah
If pros dont use it
either rework or dont touch it
removing it altogether would be dumb

fading wasp
#

Suicide would have to be balanced pretty hard to avoid players killing themselves to avoid giving the other team ult charge.

forest wharf
#

its cool, mayhem will rekt fuel tomorrow

fading wasp
#

RIP SHD

#

Ultra RIP SHD

whole narwhal
#

A suicide button would either add a layer of skill or make it frustrating to play against. Maybe they should add it to PTR

#

Give it a spin

fading wasp
#

It would be frustrating

tawdry acorn
#

oh my god a suicide button would be terrible

fading wasp
#

Especially if you could suicide mid-fight

indigo barn
#

shock destroys nyxl tmr

tawdry acorn
#

jumping off the map to keep enemy team from getting ult is horrible gameplay mechanics, not skill

#

it was a joke

#

and you took it too far

whole narwhal
#

In CSGO if you suicide, the enemy gets eco compensation for it. So what if in OVW if you suicided, it’s considered an elimination and they can still build ult?

onyx shore
#

suicide button

#

let's also add concede button

#

or vote to kick

tawdry acorn
#

"I'm playing a game right now, and the best way for me to help my team in this situation is to jump off the map and die, otherwise I am feeding" Is not good for gameplay

fading wasp
#

But the elim isn't just what builds ult. It's also the damage you deal.

tawdry acorn
#

its a clever use of game mechanics, or a bug, if you will.

fading wasp
#

So if the fight went on longer, you could get more ult charge, because they'd be trying to survive, possibly using health packs or getting healed

#

And that's only one reason out of many

in regards of coolmatt

#

the league doesnt allow numbers on name

spring lintel

I heard that cwhoosh is bad as fuck

Can anyone confirm, heard he was the worse main tank in owl.

onyx shore
#

so probably shadder2k will also change his name if he plays in owl

fading wasp
#

shadderTwoK

spring lintel
#

Can his shirt number be 2k?

whole narwhal
#

Why are numbers in username not allowed?
If your usernae was MyName1000 do they just say MyName, or do you have to change it to something else?

onyx shore
#

idk why

#

that's the rule

spring lintel
#

It becomes MyName and then the number of your shirt is 1000 most of the time

whole narwhal
#

MyNameOneThousand

Not sure if they are allowed with more than 2 digits

i think coolmatt still have number 69 on his shirt,right?

can you repeat the question

Better get into the Overwatch League and find out

deft valley
#

your username can't be above 12 symbols

and the shirt has enough space for 12

whole narwhal
#

Oh, I forgot about that

#

I was really used to having longer usernames before settling for a string of j’s (for now)
So I was just wondering

#

🤔

deft valley
#

Overwatch League username restrictions isn't something you'll have to worry about

whole narwhal
#

I guess I can’t have the username “Diamond is the hardest metal” on Battlenet. Ahh, sad.

Yeah the character cap is a battlenet thing

What’s he going to do? Become full-time streamer? Go teamless? Go pro on a different game? Non-OWL Overwatch pro?

spring lintel

Ofc full time streamer

#

Got a better future than owl

#

Lol yeah

whole narwhal
#

Neither of them are exactly stable careers though

spring lintel
#

Owl probably gonna die after 5-4 years

versed sinew
#

thats generous

#

i was thinking later this year

onyx shore
#

for him

#

streaming probably make him more money

#

for less pressure

whole narwhal
#

OWL is probably gonna become nicher and nicher down the line but it won’t die completely (like Starcraft)

onyx shore
#

for less fame and glory,but eh...

spring lintel
#

For everyone streaming is better

#

Lol

onyx shore
#

not really

molten skiff
#

streaming is cancer in gaming industry

onyx shore
#

look at seagull

whole narwhal
#

Streaming isn’t stable at all unless you get a partnership. Then it’s slightly less unstable.

#

Don’t become DarkSydePhil zaryalol

onyx shore
#

you can still make patreon

#

dont put all your eggs in the same basket dude

#

save for the future,diversify your investment

#

what's the problem with that?

spring lintel
#

Seagull ruined his future

#

It might be salvaged

onyx shore
#

seagull can always go back to streaming and make money

spring lintel
#

Streaming will never die

#

Be realistic jesus

whole narwhal
#

Streaming won’t die, but individual streamers will

#

Who will still be streaming when they are 60?

spring lintel
#

Yeah but they won’t die before owl

#

Lul

#

Specially someone like xqc

onyx shore
#

that's why you need to have other plans

whole narwhal
#

Streaming really isn’t a stable career choice for an individual. If you have good networking skills you can get lucky and become a video editor or something, but otherwise it doesn’t make for a good future. Same with pro-gaming.

onyx shore
#

that's why you save and tries to retire early

#

who the fuck wants to stream forever

#

you can make money other way like investing in other things

whole narwhal
#

Streaming should only be a part-time job at most.

spring lintel
#

Except streaming is more stable than OWL for popular streamers like seagull and xqc

onyx shore
#

agreed

spring lintel
#

Other players sure, they are not that popular snd owl is better for them

whole narwhal
#

Annoying Orange guy became an actor but who the fuck’s heard of him for the last several years zaryalol

spring lintel
#

Seagull made the dumbest choice I have ever seen, he used to have 20k viewers steady

#

And now if he is gonna stream again he is gonna get like 5k or so. And have to build it again

#

All his subs are gone too

deft valley
#

Seagull isn't gonna go back to streaming, he'll coach or rep for dallas once he "retires"

spring lintel
#

And that’s a rip to his future

#

Not even a player

deft valley
#

lol suer

whole narwhal
#

Annoying Orange is such an original nickname for Trump. (sarcasm)

spring lintel
#

You think being a coach is better than streaming with 20k viewers or being a popular player?

deft valley
#

I don't think that's better

#

I think that's what he'd rather do

whole narwhal
#

Dafuq do pro-gamers do when they “retire”. Work at McDonalds for the rest of their lives?

I mean

being the least famous that could possibly be considered 'famous' for a few years is great but like

deft valley
#

if he wants to play he'll play on dallas
and he's still popular

slim summit
#

getting into the corporate side of esports has vastly more growth potential

onyx shore
#

@whole narwhal when pro gamer retires,they usually streams

deft valley
#

And FO gives him ability to use the personality/charisma but not have to play the game when he wants to be done with it

slim summit
#

and your game won't die / you won't lose your appeal / a twitch ban won't ruin your career / you'll get actual benefits for many years to come

whole narwhal

If you’re the people that manage and set up the venues then yeah that has a lot of career potential. But simply playing the game doesn’t.

you might be able to retire at 35 as a pro gamer if you start very early, make as much money as possible, and are actually smart with it

Seagull was at his best in s1/s2

Since then, he's been dropping off

whole narwhal
#

Is he getting too old? Are his nerves getting rusty?

versed sinew
#

some cs pros are in there 30s

#

thats not the problem

dense ferry
#

I do remember he had a problem with himself, that he'd stop breathing while sleeping, which he had to take a break from ow

whole narwhal
#

Ah
sleep apnea

dense ferry
#

Yeah, he had that

whole narwhal
#

I dunno when your reflexes start declining, but mid-30s seems like that would be around the time

#

There are a lot of fighting game pros who are in their 30s though

dense ferry
#

I'd assume it'd be later than 30s reflexes start declining

#

just an assumption though

#

Fighting games feels like it's more about combos than reflexes

#

hitting the right buttons at the right times

whole narwhal
#

That’s still reflexes haha

In SF parries are all abou reflexes (but have been dumbed down with extra frame buffers after SF3)

I'm just preaching to the choir here, but xQc did nothing wrong when it came to that emote. I'm not even an xQc fan, but clearly he was using it for months beforehand. He isn't racist and neither is the emote. It was not used in a racist way. Trust me, if someone is racist they won't be afraid to tell you. Racists don't hide their opinions. If you have to keep accusing them of it and they keep defending themselves against it, then perhaps you're the one in the wrong, not them.

#

Racist, sexist, homophobic etc are just frivolously thrown about these days. Like everyone has hidden prejudices that you feel the need to expose. Speech alone is hardly ever actually prejudicial. Actions are, but words are just words.

#

Kinda like his comment vs muma. It was wrong. He admitted it and apologized immediately, yet he still got punished. It's dumb.

#

That doesn't make him homophobic. It was just an insult that he immediately realized went too far.

#

Another thing is how muma wasn't offended and neither was malik. Does that make the speech ok? No. But there doesn't need to be fines and suspensions for it either. People are always afraid of someone else being offended and speaking on others' behalf. People need to stop feeling offended for others. If someone says something that offends you personally, then take it up with them and ask them to stop using that particular language.

onyx shore
#

just stop dude,people already made their mind since that announcement

#

on one camp xqc is innocent no matter what,on another camp he's wrong no matter what

cobalt brook
#

suspended for using an emote on twitch

#

omegalul

onyx shore
#

what i learned from today's event is that blizzard doesnt react well to drama

#

but many more drama will come

keen warren
#

Well blizzard's getting in with the Esports and from there comes drama

#

they'll have to learn as they go

onyx shore
#

agreed

solar trout
#

Not saying xqc is always innocent. He was banned before for throwing. 1 game out of thousands mind you, and in reaction to being stream sniped for months, but still

keen warren
#

The bans, the suspensions and the fines are the standards that Blizzard has set so no matter if XQC is innocent or not, whether society should care bout words or not is a moot point

#

Blizzard has set the guidelines and as such take it up with blizzards restrictive contract

onyx shore
#

my personal wish is i wish the next watchpoint will be toned down with the insult

keen warren
#

I just wish twitch chat is just not cancer

onyx shore
#

i think if it's not okay to insult caster,then it's also not okay for caster to insult players

solar trout
#

What if I used a pepe emote/meme? Would I be banned because the ADL says it's racist? What of the ok symbol? Just because someone says it is racist does not mean that it is or that I use it in a racist way.

keen warren
#

@solar trout You'll be banned according to the rules of wherever you emote at

onyx shore
#

@keen warren what we learned from today that banning people using trihard will not make it stop

solar trout
#

trihard isn't against the rules

keen warren
#

It isn't but Blizzard has stated or inferred in their contract that talent and players gotta be whiter than white (if you pardon the idiom) in their actions

solar trout
#

Its like banning him for using J LUL K E if jake suddenly got mad about it.

onyx shore
#

this is why the "code of conduct" is written as vague as possible

#

for wiggle room

keen warren
#

^^

#

I got nothing bout the emote, but you gotta understand that blizzard has total control over the players so they have to play within what blizzards code of conduct and companys ethicical standards

onyx shore
#

yeah,but you can criticize those also

#

nothing is sacred

keen warren
#

I would rather criticise BLizzard's contractual standards more than the ongoing "OMG Society IS TOO PC" bullshit

onyx shore
#

but srsly,i'm really disappointed with monte

#

that watchpoint segment

#

and that banter with xqc on twitter

keen warren
#

Well Blizz and the rest of the OW community better buckle up cuz stuff like this will keep occuring

#

there's no precedent set since it's the 1st time something like this occurs

onyx shore
#

i like him as a caster,i really do,his casting with doa is the best so far

#

but that banter with xqc is just wow

#

and he's supposed to be the adult on that convo

solar trout
#

You can't punish someone for something that isn't against the rules.

#

And as mentioned the casters need to watch their mouths too

onyx shore
#

well,according to blizzard's "rule"

#

xqc is in the wrong

keen warren
#

You can when it's in the contract

#

It's not "Right" but it's possible

onyx shore
#

doesnt matter the truth,doesnt matter what you think

keen warren
#

^^

onyx shore
#

it's what blizzard think

keen warren
#

Exactly

vestal mortar
#

Blizzard and all the people and companies that have invested millions into OWL

keen warren
#

They all have corporate images that needs to be spotless

Thus the players and Talent will be under the heaviest scrutiny possible

Conduct detrimental

final meteor
#

Blizzard has proven that they, their moderators and casters are an extreme joke with this event.

onyx shore
#

but those people complain the loudest

final meteor
#

If you are that shallow that you become offended over a simple emote, you have yet to actually go through real hardships in the real world, and as such these type of people should NOT be allowed in any position of power to decide on anything.

#

If you allow them the power over anything, we end up with disgusting behaviour, like this.

onyx shore
#

if i may ask a little bit

#

when xqc call the casting "cancer" which caster did he mean?

#

semmler or monte?

#

or casters in general?

vestal mortar
#

He tweeted that the casting gave him cancer

onyx shore
#

in context of?

final meteor
#

He didn't refer to any specific casters, he referred to the fact that the casters are bad

onyx shore
#

ah i see

final meteor
#

And he made a fair point, these are pretty bad casters imo

onyx shore
#

imo,semmler and hex kinda improved

#

but those casters on watchpoint are taking things too far

vestal mortar
#

But you don't tweet something like that, you would approach people in private and ask if they're open to some feedback.

final meteor
#

Why?

onyx shore
#

like suggesting to amputate is just mean

#

imagine if xqc did the reverse and he suggested to amputate monte from caster body

#

what would happen?

final meteor
#

They are childish and pathetic enough to ban over an EMOTE and fine thousands of dollars, as well as making jokes about amputation

#

But that's fine to say in public right? But calling the casters bad isn't? There's a problem with that logic....

onyx shore
#

and dont forget,those amputation line is approved by blizzard

final meteor
#

Oh yeah of course, blizz is fine with recommending amputation to people

#

But god forbid using an emote! No no no, that's racist!

onyx shore
#

as for taimou,i kinda agree with his fine,but i can understand that the word wasnt use in harmful meaning towards gay people

weary fulcrum
#

People are starting to say Dallas Fuel when they rek in comp games

#

its the new meme

onyx shore
#

as for tairong...whatever...he's not contracted to blizzard iirc

final meteor
#

Even the taimou one i don't get. It wasn't aimed at the fact he was gay, it was aimed at just randomly venting. How the flying hell can THAT be considered an attack on gay people?!

onyx shore
#

the taimou's incident reminds me of pewdiepie n-word controversy

#

it's a bad word,it's a fuckup

final meteor
#

I hear people call others and even myself on occasion to "Suck a xxxx" or various other insults and gay jokes, why are none of them banned?

onyx shore
#

but not with the intent

#

but boy

keen warren
#

It's the always on camera damocles sword these people have. People may not like but when you become famous you gotta play by a certain set of rules

#

It's a bad thing bout society

onyx shore
#

that makes me kinda feel bad for profit

final meteor
#

People, ESPECIALLY the ones like blizzard need to chill about social justice.

keen warren
#

Reason why Ariana Grande gets her name plastered over every gossip mag when she licks donuts but the craphead down the street just gets shouted at by the owner

final meteor
#

If people are pathetic, call them pathetic, let them accept it. Don't enforce their beliefs on others.

keen warren
#

When you get famous, when you get thousands of followers and fans, what not. You gotta be careful of what you do. It's just how it is. A normal person has leeway on their actions. Personalities don't sadly.

Cuz whatever a personality does is automatically reflected on Blizz and the game

onyx shore
#

imo,there's 50:50 chance that xqc gonna quit/fired after this

keen warren
#

that's just how it is now

onyx shore
#

and whatever happens,i hope it's the best

#

like

keen warren
#

Reason why Companies like Blizz, Companies lIke Riot are heavy handed on the bans

onyx shore
#

what's the point of playing in OWL if you're not happy

final meteor
#

xQc will likely quit.

onyx shore
#

better be like dafran or tim

#

less pressure,more money

final meteor
#

Hell, i would've quit on the first chance i see shit like this, either to myself or someone else

keen warren
#

He's got a 4 game suspension and a fine, and it's his second strike

#

I hope he doesn't maybe he could push through this

onyx shore
#

he probably already make that 4k back on today's stream

#

his donation was ringing like crazy

keen warren
#

Well it depends where he puts his priorities and his income. OWL would give him a steady paycheck for atleast the limits of his abilities

#

Maybe streaming would be more profitable but it all depends on how long he can keep up the donations

final meteor
#

The problem is, as blizzard and the casters have proven, OWL is policed by actual cancer.

onyx shore
#

i think streaming is more lucrative

#

and you can diversify your product

final meteor
#

Stream is not guaranteed, as it can stop at any point yes, but it's a hell of a lot more fun that being in an eSports scene.

onyx shore
#

stream other game

#

sell merch

keen warren
#

Well you'll have to see the aftermath, if people stop watching the stream due to what you consider Blizzards Unethical practices then yeah Blizz will change

#

if nothing happens then, sorry mate tragedy of the majority

onyx shore
#

yeah

keen warren
#

Facts of life

final meteor
#

I've been in esports before, you are not allowed to criticize players, not allowed to criticize the other team, not allowed to make fun of them, even as a joke. Not allowed to criticize the game, not allowed to laugh about bugs you encounter, etc.

#

The only things you are allowed to do is smile, pretend the game is fantastic and make it look good

onyx shore
#

i think xqc make more than 50k/year from streaming

vestal mortar
#

Yeah didn't he make all his fine money back in that stream yesterday

final meteor
#

To me that's the absolute worst about the majority of esports, you cannot do anything.

onyx shore
#

idk about league of legends

#

but dota2 pro scene isn't even this sensitive

#

heck,valve even stood by the fans when they were screwed by ESL

keen warren
#

It's a new industry, that's how it is. Until regulatory bodies are set up, the game devs have discretionary control over their IP and those who play in it

onyx shore
#

oh hell no

#

i hope the government stay away from gaming

final meteor
#

Look up War Thunder if you have the chance, they had a tournament a long time ago, i abandoned it within a few days, the oversensitivity was fantastic. Anything negative = banned and fined, Criticize = banned and fined, do anything but smile, and make the game look good, and chances are you'll be banned and fined.

onyx shore
#

just regulate what necessary,like gambling

final meteor
#

Honestly, the government NEEDS to step in the esports scene, mainly because some developers are unbelievably over-sensitive, and literally snowflakes.

keen warren
#

Not the gov't but Supranational Associations. Football has FIFA. Racing has the FIA, every sport has a regulatory association to protect and regulate the sport and the game

onyx shore
#

btw,sorry if i'm back on old topic,bcos you mention fifa

final meteor
#

Without a force to make a set of proper rules, you end up with snowflakes like these around that ban people over something as silly as emotes, that should be unacceptable

onyx shore
#

i watched somewhere

#

that the league actually contacted dallas fuel management after the trihard emote incident

#

and ask DF to bench xqc

#

not suspend,but bench him

#

isn't that like..match fixing?

keen warren
#

Nah

onyx shore
#

can you imagine fifa telling argentina not to play lionel messi at world cup?

keen warren
#

Match Fixing is a third party organisation

#

Well Association rules state that if a player who gets a number of Yellow cards is not allowed to play the following game

final meteor
#

@onyx shore I'm really not surprised that blizzard is pathetic enough to ask to bench a player. That's literally match rigging

#

Everything i've seen about blizzard in the past destroyed whatever opinion i had left of these guys as a company

onyx shore
#

in this context,suspension is not the same as benching

keen warren
#

Which is the same as Blizz telling DF to bench xQc for not abiding to the contract
