i'm more bothered by twitch chat than everything xQc did. everyones spamming racism now because they think they're cool
onyx shore
streisand effect
keen warren
^^
onyx shore
please do not push this big red button
final meteor
That's good, what are they gonna do, ban the entire community watching the stream?
If you think an emote is racist, that's fine, go ahead and ban your entire community.
balmy wolf
https://i.imgur.com/ctpL3Qm.png "just an emote"
onyx shore
probably they gonna ask that emote to be disabled on their channel
keen warren
^
final meteor
Wouldn't surprise me, snowflakes are fun like that.
onyx shore
not gonna stop people from typing the trihard though
i kinda feel bad for malik tbh
that emote is gonna be spammed even harder next week
keen warren
Dude deserves better and the communities now gonna make it a meme everytime he's on camera
balmy wolf
i dont think xQc used it in a racist way, but twitch chat certainly is
final meteor
And?
onyx shore
i hope he won't rage quit
final meteor
That emote is not racist, end of story.
if YOU as a caster, think an emote is racist
Get the hell off the scene.
balmy wolf
its not so much about it being Racist
keen warren
Not gonna be many people left on the scene if the OW community memes them all away
balmy wolf
its about constantly being targeted cuz ur black
final meteor
Personally i'm hoping malik simply leaves the scene, he does not belong here.
balmy wolf
OwO hes a BLACK !!! better spam this emote
onyx shore
i dont like malik,i used to think that trihard emote was directed to him bcos he really tries hard to look cool on camera
final meteor
Malik doesn't belong in the scene honestly
onyx shore
and yeah,that guy really tries hard in front of camera and it's kinda cringey
shy wind
(Copy Pasta from COW Reddit) He's laughing about it on his stream now and even though people are saying horrible things about Malik in the donations and he's speaking over them, he's still thanking those people for their money. He's not threatened to ban them. He was also happy about all of the Trihards in OWL chat today.
He gives the impression that he's a victim and that if he shares his real opinion (i.e. that everything about this is completely unfair and unjustified) he'll be in bigger trouble. If he was sorry, he'd turn the donations off, stop laughing about the incident, stop deflecting, and stop making stupid jokes about it (e.g. should I get someone to come and paint Trihard 7 on my wall).
onyx shore
yikes
final meteor
Why would he be sorry? For the fact that he's not a pathetic snowflake offended by simple things? lol
frozen yew
This is an serious tournament tho
final meteor
So that gives you the right to be pathetic and get offended for an emote?
onyx shore
people give you money bcos they like your content,and how the fuck you not thank them?
onyx shore
turn donation off? why?
frozen yew
Yeo
final meteor
@balmy wolf Not really an edgelord, i simply dealt with actual hard shit in life, so crap like this is hilarious.
balmy wolf
so did i, but that doesnt mean im just gonna brush it off
frozen yew
Its not hillarious its just sad that xqc doesnt understand that he is in a professional environment
I think he isnt fit for owl
onyx shore
"professional environment"
frozen yew
He should stick for his streams
frozen yew
He makes enough money of his streams (Aka raising 4000$ to cover his fine in one stream) and i dont think he enjoys owl
final meteor
You can actually call OWL a professional enviroment after they've proven they're a joke? π
onyx shore
i think he enjoys playing
frozen yew
I actually can,blizzard is really seirous about it,even more than they where with sc2
frozen yew
How have they proven to be a joke tho?
final meteor
They are handing out bans over an EMOTE that they call "racist", an EMOTE.
frozen yew
Thats not a joke
echo vault
sure it is
shy wind
They don't call the emote racist, the way it was used.
balmy wolf
https://i.imgur.com/ctpL3Qm.png not racist
shy wind
is racist.
final meteor
That is a joke. Just how weak, pathetic, and shallow do you need to be to get triggered over an emote? π
onyx shore
^^
frozen yew
Thats either overreaction or a way to avoid future backlash
balmy wolf
i think ur trolling
frozen yew
The media likes to ramp everything up
onyx shore
by who?
balmy wolf
literally everyone knows its not the emote, its how its being used
frozen yew
Specially when it comes to gaming
final meteor
Coming up next, people being banned for teabagging for fun! Brought to you by blizzard, it was deemed highly toxic behaviour! π
balmy wolf
"My name is Tyrone. I am a magician. Close your eyes. Now your bike is missing" how is this not racism?
frozen yew
I disagree with the teabagging
balmy wolf
you can argue its a simple joke
frozen yew
Ban*
balmy wolf
but does it rly have a place in owl
frozen yew
Teabagging ban*
shy wind
xQc could have said that he didn't intend for the emote to be used that way, and that he talked to Malik personally ect.. and left it at that, but that isn't xQc's style. He talked about it for 30 minutes, brought up his chatlogs and went on and on about the situation without really acknowledging how the emote does get used in a racially insensitive manner on a regular basis, or reaffirming to his chat that they shouldn't do that sort of thing.
onyx shore
but i kinda curious how the "media" would react when geguri finally play in OWL
frozen yew
The emote can have a bad conotation on the media's eyes
They can use it to pain owl easily as full of racists
final meteor
@balmy wolf Mate, have you ever actually had a job? Every single job i've been in is full of jokes, and these are proper professional environments.
onyx shore
believe it or not,media and gaming will always be clashing
frozen yew
Paint*
final meteor
Just how sad can you get that you can't even make JOKES at your workplace in a professional enviroment? π
onyx shore
have you read how OWL is pictured as sexist bcos there's no female player?
balmy wolf
@final meteor it might be a joke, but its playing with big stereotypes about black people. it's a racist joke
balmy wolf
you can make jokes that arent racist
frozen yew
Paint*
onyx shore
if she's good,and we praise her,we will be branded as patronising sexist pig
forest raven
Do you make jokes in an environment where hundreds of thousands of people consistently see and hear what you're doing? @final meteor
balmy wolf
^racist jokes
balmy wolf
nonetheless
final meteor
@forest raven Oh yes, all the time.
onyx shore
if she flopped,and we shits on her,we will be branded as misogynist sexist pig
balmy wolf
the media always fails to see the actual reasons why there arent many girls in esports
final meteor
I call my boss "Nigaraci", and yes, he is black as hell, we always laugh about it, also got an indian guy around, we constantly make racist jokes at each other, and we always laugh it off, why? Because we're not children.
forest raven
Do you not understand context?
forest raven
Or are you being obtuse on purpose?
balmy wolf
same LOL
onyx shore
i think context is really matters in what xqc said about the emote
he didnt use it in racist way
final meteor
In a pretty chill place, i fix computers, printers, and deal with servers when needed. π
onyx shore
just unfortunate timing
balmy wolf
xQc didnt use it in a racist way but now everyone else is
and now he'll get painted racist
onyx shore
and that's not his fault
final meteor
Of course everyone is going to use it in a racist way when blizzard treats it as such
balmy wolf
how mature
onyx shore
blame the people who actually use it in racist way
final meteor
If you ban a player over an emote and call it racist, what do you expect?
onyx shore
dude
shy wind
Bruh, people we're already using it
frozen yew
Yeah but its not a dumb joke like the mayhem walks
balmy wolf
he wasnt banned over an emote tho... he did more things
shy wind
in a racist way
forest raven
He's also a repeat offender
onyx shore
this is like putting pepe the frog as alt right symbol all over again
frozen yew
Its a joke that was used in a racist way
shy wind
Also people are acting like he was ONLY banned for the emote.
forest raven
He's shown no impetus to change
balmy wolf
^
onyx shore
of course this gonna be used to offend people over and over
frozen yew
The its just a joke is not an excuse in this case
final meteor
The awkward part here is that xQc got into OWL for his personality
onyx shore
well,that supposedly "racist" emote is the main reason
final meteor
His personality hasn't changed
frozen yew
Thats not how it works tho
final meteor
And now blizzard is triggered over his personality, that's cute really.
shy wind
"personality?" No
frozen yew
You should get in it for your skill
balmy wolf
i dont think blizzard expected him to say that to Muma the first time
they expected hhis personality
tough blade
xQc got in because he's good
balmy wolf
is homophobia a part of his personality? no
final meteor
Do tell how he's homophobic, i want a good laugh
onyx shore
jeez
frozen yew
I dont think he is homphobic but his comment was
onyx shore
if you're straight dude
shy wind
He literally just said it ISN'T in his personality.
onyx shore
and i tell you to eat a pussy
frozen yew
Or could be perceived as
onyx shore
is that straight phobic?
forest raven
I personally don't think xQc is homophobic or racist, but he does say homophobic and racially charged things
frozen yew
He is inconsequential
shy wind
I'm honestly surprised twitch themselves haven't looked into him with the new TOS
forest raven
Twitch is a terrible company
They pick and choose when to enforce their own rules
onyx shore
every company is like that
balmy wolf
twitch is also shit because of the community
onyx shore
volvo,blizzard
final meteor
Twitch did look into him, they didn't care. π
forest raven
Twitch blatantly so
forest raven
Because Twitch has a monopoly on the streaming service
frozen yew
If you are small they fuck you over
forest raven
Twitch can do what they want because hey, who's anywhere close enough to them to take away most of their userbase?
frozen yew
Customer support is the same thing
onyx shore
youtube? 
shy wind
I mean youtube has some sort of steaming but that's still basically just normal youtube
frozen yew
If you are a small channel and want to ask something they say fuck you and send you a generic email
shy wind
it's not as advanced as twitch, the only plus is that it's connected to youtube itself
but that brings in a whole new list of problems
forest raven
Dr Disrespect has threatened to doxx multiple people on stream
Has Twitch done anything?
No
final meteor
Why would twitch care about some new guy that wants something?
forest raven
Because Doc makes them fuck tonnes of money
final meteor
Honestly, people who threaten to doxx or w.e, they have no idea how to do it, so..nothing to worry about really
balmy wolf
that doesnt matter
frozen yew
Say that to keemstar
balmy wolf
the police will react if some random sends a death threat even if they have no intention of it
threats are serious
frozen yew
He threatened doxxing
forest raven
It is explicitly against Twitch ToS to threaten to doxx someone
onyx shore
so basically it's like logan paul but on twitch all over again?
frozen yew
Just like female streamers who circunvented the whole semi-pornograpfic content
forest raven
Twitch sucks, this whole drama sucks
final meteor
I'd say memestar is a more accurate comparison
balmy wolf
same
onyx shore
agreed
frozen yew
With micro gameplay
feral wing
fusion 3 losses in a row ;-;
shy wind
Fusion 
frozen yew
Who probably was recorred in advance
onyx shore
@feral wing unfortunate schedule
forest raven
I hope Glads can take one map off London
frozen yew
final meteor
Good overwatch isn't gonna happen as long as blizzard holds tight to it's depressing behaviour and bans over silly things
frozen yew
Im betting on Gladiators winning
onyx shore
has the standings updated by the mod?
feral wing
thats an oof
frozen yew

Current standings
onyx shore
hmmmm
shy wind
the top 3 korea
feral wing
unlikely but there have been upsets
onyx shore
london already stabilized
shy wind
and then everyone else
onyx shore
so i doubt glads would win
forest raven
Seoul plays NY and London next week
shy wind
so next week is a good week
feral wing
well @shy wind fusion just faced all three top teams over the span of 3 matches
shy wind
to watch good ow
onyx shore
well
frozen yew
And lost
onyx shore
i still think the final will still be korea vs korea again
shy wind
And who knows maybe twitch chat won't be as cancer, but when is it not
onyx shore
especially after seeing outlaws performance so far
feral wing
having to face all three of them after eachother is terrible for team moral etc.
onyx shore
valiant probably have a chance to sneak into playoff
frozen yew
I hope some western 3 goes to the playoff
onyx shore
but i doubt they can get to the final
feral wing
youre likely to just get stomped 3 matches in a row
feral wing
although fusion vs nyxl was close
shy wind
could make it
feral wing
fusion > gladiators
onyx shore
i kinda curious what would sinaatra bring to SFS
forest raven
Season playoffs is top 1 of each division then top 4 in overall record
onyx shore
will it be big improvement
shy wind
I just wanna see London reverse sweep again
frozen yew
What about flooorida
indigo barn
Houston is gonna lose to both shock and la glad next week rip
feral wing
my bets are on Seoul, London, New York, Philadelphia, Outlaws and then Valiant or Gladiators
frozen yew
Poor Flooor ida
shy wind
indigo barn
my bets are on all the teams in the league
frozen yew
Not even floor
onyx shore
after seeing some seoul dynasty matches so far
frozen yew
Altho florida almost defeated houston
shy wind
I feel so bad for the dragons
brisk roost
@indigo barn Lol
shy wind
not a single win
onyx shore
i think what they lack
frozen yew
Very closematch
brisk roost
Our bois won
indigo barn
Yeah man
onyx shore
if compared to other korean team
indigo barn
Barely tho dude
feral wing
Well florida and Shanghai are pretty much out of the playoffs at this point
onyx shore
is roster depth
feral wing
most likely dallas too
brisk roost
Bet y'all thought they gonna lose tho xD!
indigo barn
SIKE
feral wing
and shock
shy wind
yeah I don't think it's possible
frozen yew
I wish they lost
onyx shore
their subs is just not the same quality as their starters
frozen yew
Im a florida fan
shy wind
for dragons to even make playoffs
onyx shore
srsly
feral wing
I dont think florida will make it either
shy wind
True lmao
onyx shore
gido and xepher aren't as good as london or nyxl subs
indigo barn
for dragons itβs impossible even if they 4-0 every game from now on
brisk roost
Florida won't lol
shy wind
I think a single win at this point
feral wing
maybe fuel but they will have to start winning a ton
shy wind
would be a bless
indigo barn
Nyxl has no subs
feral wing
and actually become the team people thought they would be
shy wind
Fuel has so many internal problems
onyx shore
its impossbile for fuel
feral wing
its not impossible
shy wind
Like unless they turn on a lightbulb
onyx shore
the team morale is too damaged for now
shy wind
and fix their shiet
feral wing
its not impossible for shanghai either but it'll be way too hard
shy wind
Honestly I think Fuel took it way to many streamers and "star" players
feral wing
like they'll need every team to lose every match and they need to win every match and they might make it
onyx shore
imo
shy wind
True
feral wing
envyus was an amazing team in the western world
feral wing
the problem was that they just stomped everyone
onyx shore
but that's it
shy wind
it also doesn't help that the team seems to blame eachother for certain things
feral wing
so they never got a chance to learn
onyx shore
you dont have option if mickie tilted
forest raven
I think if Mickie tilts baby deer just start weeping somewhere
onyx shore
and his dva play isnt even consistent
feral wing
so who has the higher chance of reaching the playoffs? Fuel or Shock?
abstract kernel
onyx shore
shock
onyx shore
their support lineup is also kinda weird
feral wing
both of them are highly unlikely though
onyx shore
especially on stage 1
chips was wasted on mercy
meanwhile harryhook's zen is just not enough
feral wing
most likely the playoffs will be NYXL, Seoul, Spitfire, Outlaws, Fusion and Valiant/Gladiators
onyx shore
now when mercy is not meta
onyx shore
they dont play chips
shy wind
I mean it's only a 4 game suspension
it's not the full time like before, though before it was more of a fuel ban
onyx shore
at least until before last match
feral wing
last time it wasnt as long of a suspension either
feral wing
but fuel made it a longer suspension
shy wind
Because fuel made the weird decision to keep it for fully stage 1
which destroyed the team even more imo
feral wing
I guess they wanted to keep their sponsors etc.
onyx shore
they just signed a main tank,right?
feral wing
seriously though. Im pretty comfortable with saying that Mayhem, Dragons, Fuel and Shock are out of the playoffs
shy wind
Agreed
onyx shore
and that weird decision to play taimou on winston
frozen yew
Shock,Mayhem and dallas nah
indigo barn
Shock still has it in them to make it to season playoffs
shy wind
ugh, fuel is just such a mess
frozen yew
Dallas if they get 4-0ed by mayhem you can saynthey are outa
onyx shore
do you really have to play taimou on that role?
feral wing
I would go as far as placing bets on florida not making the playoffs
shy wind
Like Why would you ban one of your most important players for a full stage
that's such a bad decision.
feral wing
they arent gonna make it
onyx shore
cocco's winston isnt good,but i think he's better
frozen yew
Well xqc didnt save dallas
onyx shore
on winston than taimou
shy wind
yeah but
frozen yew
They are still struggling
shy wind
that's alot of wasted team time
frozen yew
What happend to seagull tho?
feral wing
they have a 1-14 record for crying out loud
frozen yew
Did he disappear?
onyx shore
xqc is their best player on that role
feral wing
hes going over to tank for a while
onyx shore
on winston at least
onyx shore
seagull is practicing dva
shy wind
That's nice
frozen yew
Seagull mah boy
onyx shore
actually
for this meta
their supports are just fine
chips on ana/zen
harryhook on lucio
custa on zen/mercy/moira
shy wind
I feel like
frozen yew
He is just like logix week 1
shy wind
some of these teams trying to play dive
frozen yew
Dies first in the tf
shy wind
do it so sloppy
onyx shore
mickie didnt peel for them enough
like
mickie sometimes play like SHD MG
kinda infuriating
onyx shore
i'm also worried about seoul's roster depth
apparently,their subs arent good enough compared to other korean teams subs
shy wind
Next week's game will really determine alot
indigo barn
Seoulβs bench is deep what are you saying
onyx shore
look at their performance on game four when they play gido and xepher
it was horrible
indigo barn
When vs Shanghai?
onyx shore
can you say that their subs are on the same level as london's sub?
indigo barn
Yeah
onyx shore
also,who is their main 2nd dps?
indigo barn
They send an all sub starting team after shanghai
onyx shore
bunny or weeked?
indigo barn
Munchkin
onyx shore
i see...
i still think their subs should win easily against shanghai though
as we see on stage 1,whenever they tried to play gido and xepher,their performance just dropped significantly
if weaker teams can 4-0 shd,it's just weird that seoul only win 3-1
tough blade
they probably didnt practice
onyx shore
well,if that's true,that also a problem
just like the usa national overwatch team didnt practice during OWWC
faint phoenix
maps? yes
balmy wolf
matches?
balmy wolf
Lul
faint phoenix
their Koreans are on the way tho
balmy wolf
I got their skin for McCree because it looks sick, so I guess I'm cheering for them now
keen warren
I hope the new replacements on the end of the month bring Shanghai back up to speed
faint phoenix
XD
keen warren
It'll be a cinderalla story for sure if they win against NYXL or the Spits but my money is on, Mayhem, Shock or LA Glads
onyx shore
fuel?
keen warren
Tbh Since the fuel is currently crippled
onyx shore
i think they have bigger chance to beat mayhem
tough blade
Mayhem is so good right now they almost 3-0'd a top team
dusk garden
shock without arcitect that is
onyx shore
diya or undead will probably be very happy
keen warren
I'd celebrate a Shanghai win, but just, just for the memes I would like to see the SHD win a game against the top 3
onyx shore
but i kinda curious what the chinese fans will say if they win with half korean roster
i mean fans from china
keen warren
I just wanna hear the comms
tough blade
comms will be in chinese
graceful rover
Florida mayhem is probably the worst team
faint phoenix
Florida almost won against Houston :P
onyx shore
bcos it's actually more sensible to ask the koreans to learn chinese
than reworking the entire comms
graceful rover
But comms are usually terms that foreigners know
tough blade
The koreans are learning chinese not the other way around
faint phoenix
that would be awkward
dusk garden
wheres the proof
faint phoenix
ye
keen warren
Well tbh if we're gonna assume the comms are similar in english. In game comms are just gonna be them screaming out the names of the heroes
Cuz that's what I just hear whenever OWL do their playbacks
tough blade
The entire team is learning english but the koreans are learning english and chinese
onyx shore
it wont be the other way around
you're in a team named shanghai dragons ffs
who would ask the chinese to learn hangul
that would be insulting af
keen warren
Ehh, if we put that aside. Most of the team logistics are centred around chinese, so besides the koreans most likely having interpreters
onyx shore
how do you accomodate interpreter in match?
keen warren
PRe match and team meetings
then in game use whatever the Shanghai dragons would use for their callouts
keen warren
I mean, Genji is the same in every language
onyx shore
but comm will still be shaky though
onyx shore
but at least the performance will be better
the challenge will be when it's time to adapt into enemy strat
keen warren
Yeah stuff like IGL would be difficult to explain in chinese but maybe they got some sort of system worked out before hand to adapt with the korean players
It's not like whoever IGL's for SHD is just gonna pull out some legendary hard to explain strat in the middle of a match
basic stuff like focus "put hero here" for the DPS and maybe, "Dive now" for Geguri and Fearless
Assuming they do Double tanks with the Koreans, at most it could just be one of each
On a side not: Spitfire for lyfe, let's go London
shy wind
I mean nobodies forcing you to watch it
keen warren
There's like one drama a minute in OWL, Stylosa's got video material for days
keen warren
@tough blade McDonalds colours vs Jack in The Box Front and Centre
onyx shore
@tough blade at this point,i wonder why they dont just bring mcdonald as sponsor
embrace the meme and get paid for it
stylosa once told me that rank doesnt matter
while being carried into grandmaster by his gm friend
onyx shore
yeah
iirc,he started solo q-ing after that and then dropped into master
then proceed to make rant video about toxicity,thrower etc
tough blade
Dropping to master from GM doesnt mean much until you start dropping below like 3600
paper crag
Actually I donβt know if Genji is βGenjiβ in Chinese
Same characters, but I think itβs pronounced Yuan Shi
onyx shore
idk why i always read stylosa once told me that rank doesnt matter in smash mouth tone
paper crag
Or something similar
Although Iβm sure everyone who plays the game would understand βGenjiβ is Genji
onyx shore
i dont think sty could do it seeing that hes contracted to spitfire

Houstonβs mentality going into the match last night was βoh man itβs florida mayhem ez 4-0β
Took them until half time to wake up and realize they were getting bitch slapped
Now next week they go up against the gladiators and shock who are not exactly florida mayhem
balmy wolf
is xqc suspended rn?
the statement is so vague
okay so he was fined 4000 grand im assuming thats from before
but i heard something happened with emotes
scarlet spear
he was fined 4k and suspended for 4 games
so 2 weeks no xQc at least
he said its likely
if he gets suspended again, which he got
we'll see
whole mulch
tawny sigil
is it sad that which ever team is not facing shanghai during a stage, is actually at a disadvantage.
slim summit
Mayhem has had some really strong showings but it has never materialized into wins
have they beaten anyone other than Shanghai?
paper crag
@tawny sigil kind of lol
apparently mayhem brought it to game 5 against houston yesterday
i didn't watch the game so i don't know how close it actually was, but that's still something i guess
paper crag
were the next 3 games stomps?
tawny sigil
boston was so close to play off last stage, if they had a free win against shanghai, it would have made them go to play off
slim summit
and it's not even balanced out throughout the season
tawny sigil
thats why this 10 match per stage thing is a little sketchy
slim summit
Teams play other teams in their own division 4 times and teams in the other division 3 times
and the divisions aren't exactly evenly matched
2 of the bottom 6 teams are Atlantic, 2 of the top 6 teams are Pacific
tawny sigil
well all the matches were decided before the league started
who isn't going against houston this stage?
tawny sigil
what about shanghai
tawny sigil
i guess who ever doesnt fight NYXL is also doing alright
feels like everyone is playing checkers compare to NYXL playing chest
torpid charm
still hurt from the Philly loss last night but they didn't do too bad so I'm not disappointed 
tawny sigil
shanghai playing hopscotch

formula?

Excel
tawny sigil
ah
slim summit
fixed
Shanghai doesn't play Florida D:
That means two teams could go through Stage 2 without a victory
tawny sigil
19-1 for florida
frozen yew
Only hollywood was a stomp
Gibraltar was really close
But houston pushed it in overtime
And illios was a mess,dont even ask me what was happening
slim summit
Florida still has to face Fuel, Valiant, Gladiators, Shock, and Seoul
which could be a worse lineup
The next three lowest ranked teams next to them are in there
so they might have a good chance
and since Dallas is in turmoil, maybe they'll have a chance here today
frozen yew
Florida has everything to win today
But everyone said that about boston
So i dunno
Im hoping they win
brisk roost
I never saw the match tbh
So idk how it felt like
But it must've been scary for us Houston fans π
balmy wolf
Florida could easily win a few matches before stage end
dallas though, not so sure
nyxl, london, philly and boston in the last 2 weeks for dallas
boston is a possible win the rest are guaranteed losses
paper crag
i want to believe that too
balmy wolf
dallas
balmy wolf
i said a possible win because of how terrible boston is doing at the moment

Shock is the best American team rn

NY is the best American team
indigo barn
Everyoneβs scared to face the Shock
balmy wolf
shock are trash tier right now
babybay has been underperforming for weeks and their main tank is garbage
indigo barn
Bruh they op
paper crag
i feel like valiant is better than sfs atm
balmy wolf
and if they get their rumoured pickups
paper crag
have they played yet this stage?
balmy wolf
you mean valiant vs shock?
paper crag
yes
balmy wolf
yeah
indigo barn
Shock rekt Boston bro
paper crag
i feel like valiant is a pretty good contender for top non-6-korean team
indigo barn
Valiant is so inconsistent
indigo barn
They will nearly 4-0 Seoul but lose 0-4 to boston
Gladiators are more consistent for sure
balmy wolf
Valiant lost a map to dallas, tied a map with shanghai and got 4-0'd by gladiators
they're definitely the worse LA team right now
probably wont get any better either
unless they get their shit together
with gladiators picking up void they're only going up tbh
indigo barn
Valiant 4-0βed philly and Houston tho
balmy wolf
Houston is struggling right now
indigo barn
But shock went 2-3 vs them
brisk roost
Houston is getting back on its feet though
indigo barn
Houston better not get rekt by some purple boyz
brisk roost
Actually start of Stage 2 Houston did really well
Ever since Philly reverse sweep'd them, they started to collapse
indigo barn
Shock might actually destroy Houston next week
balmy wolf
doubtful lmao
indigo barn
Shock is op asf
balmy wolf
Shock will start showing up in stage 3 and 4
right now they'll just keep riding the bottom half of the league
indigo barn
Shock is legit a contender
deft valley
contender as in wouldn't look out of place in Contenders

Hoping the production value will be solid too

OK, I'm new here, I'm considering going to a Gaming Arena near me. And I was wondering, can I be like a Player/Coach for my team? Like I do commands and we co-ordinate with each other?
rustic perch
like, are you serious? i don't wanna defend xqcs actions but you 1) cant even write his name right, 2) apparently have no idea what this trihard 7 thing even was

@dusky sequoia You'd be the shotcaller/in-game leader in that case

so you're accusing me now of wrong stuff and want me to die, is this somehow reportable?

well no "bait" about deaththreats or deathwishes

you're getting baited dude

You think Glads can beat Spitfire?
magic zinc
Fissure and Bischu would have to play out of their mindsfor them to stand a chance I think as their DPS line-up isnt as good
slim summit
uh oh
rustic perch
if you play ranked and play vs your former teammate and you know his mistakes
you can easily punish them
ruby pendant
Gladiators have gotten really good.
magic zinc
I mean wouldnt London have the bigger advantage
in that case
Easier to exploit the mistake of 1 person than it is to exploit 6
Are they gonna full hold?
Oh nevermind
Great hold regardless
magic zinc
I'm liking these agressive defenses
wind girder
that dive tho
marsh pumice
slim summit
the Glads did beat London in the preseason
magic zinc
Mei π
wind girder
preseason involved switching out the roster loads to have most players play a game, shouldnt be as reflective
slim summit
why is London just melting
magic zinc
Dallas had a good pre-season
slim summit
Glads' crisp, perfectly timed dives are OP
magic zinc
Yeah idk if London is bad
wind girder
theyll adapt
magic zinc
Glads are just looking reaaaal good
wind girder
true
magic zinc
Okay how did that just happen
wind girder
howw
slim summit
whew
magic zinc
Everything looked rosy when Hagopeun popped Trans early
slim summit
wipes sweat from brow
magic zinc
for Glads that is
wind girder
indeed
magic zinc
But then they just melted
slim summit
EMP got nothing
wind girder
no cnversion on the hack
slim summit
probably part of why
wind girder
didnt see it
rustic perch
i think mei got pressured so hard that he would have wasted the blizzard since he would have been killed instantly
rustic perch
wind girder
daaaaaaamnnn
magic zinc
and then the EMP got nobody
slim summit
They really need a killfeed for eatable ults
slim summit
The casters have never known when ults get eaten
magic zinc
I want one for Ult eaten
wind girder
that would be good
wind girder
would killing a tracer before her bomb sticks count? at the moment it just disappears
slim summit
omg.
magic zinc
Uhh big feed Profit
magic zinc
Ohhh Asher lets go
slim summit
wow
magic zinc
He's been great so far imo

@pearl stratus he wanted to trade
pearl stratus
I know, but its better drama my way π
dusk garden
is birdring sick?
slim summit
Fissure trying to make London regret trading him instead of Gesture
magic zinc
Long have we waited, Gesture jebaited, Fissure activated
ruby pendant
Asher is especially good too
magic zinc
si
wind girder
@dusk garden theylll probs sub him into second map
dusk garden
iremix overrated, bischu outdated, long have we watied, fissure activated
pearl stratus
Yeah Asher's consistency has shot up like crazy with Fissure.
magic zinc
Yooo is that a JoJo reference
pearl stratus
Because Fissure opens up so much more opportunity for him
grim sky
ruby pendant
@magic zinc nope!
dusk garden
THAT STICK
slim summit
holy shit
dusk garden
WHAT
magic zinc
What a stick oh lordie
magic zinc
π
tawny sigil
Not even CLOSE
pearl stratus
I mean it will change when Birdring is in.
tawny sigil
That was pretty dominant
pearl stratus
I think London was underestimating.
magic zinc
GESTURE OUTDATED FISSURE ACTIVATED π
pearl stratus
And let Hooreg in for a bit.
grim sky
Π― Π²ΡΡ Π΅ΡΡ ΡΡΡ:3
pearl stratus
But Fissure increases Ashers potency like crazy.
molten skiff
or do they have to decide it before
magic zinc
well they had to decide the subs for match 2
pearl stratus
You have to decide it before the first point of the match you're in.
magic zinc
during the first round of map 1
wind girder
1 day before @molten skiff
magic zinc
The first point or the first round?
little gale
gotta love these comms
pearl stratus
First point
molten skiff
so if birdring wasnt in lineup at first
pearl stratus
Once LAG started taking A, it was over.
magic zinc
Point? Thats ridiculous lol
wind girder
nono, they decide which players play which maps one day before
grim sky
Π§ΡΠΎ ΠΏΡΠΎΠΈΡΡ ΠΎΠ΄ΠΈΡ, ΡΠ΅Π±ΡΡΠ°, Ρ ΡΡΡΡΠΊΠΈΠΉ, ΡΡΠΎ Π½Π΅ ΡΠΏΠ°ΠΌ
magic zinc
They get to decide during the matches too the cut-off is just really early
dreamy belfry
43%
magic zinc
So usually yeah its decided beforehand probably
There is very little time to sub based on performance
dreamy belfry
It's decided before hand, but they can swap at half time IIRC
magic zinc
At half-time they get a longer break, they can swap between map 2 and 3 just fine
pearl stratus
I guess, based on re-reading its point a+b on Volkkaya.
magic zinc
No need to decide by the first point of map 2
pearl stratus
Which would be the first full point
dusk garden
holy shit fissure has way better stats than gesture
magic zinc
I mean being on the winning team does that
dreamy belfry
Fissure is insane dude
halcyon fiber
well, fissure team won, so ofc he has better stats
pearl stratus
Fissure also somehow got away from a lot of situations.
molten skiff
fissure's been waiting for this
pearl stratus
Like a snekysnek.
dreamy belfry
Idk. I haven't followed korean teams closely enough
pearl stratus
Yeah.
dreamy belfry
aside from lunatic hai
pearl stratus
The KDP people don't feel like they fit in on London, from general rumor.
Which is why Fissure/Rascal wanted to be traded.
dreamy belfry
No he didn't
tawny sigil
that was a nice plug
dreamy belfry
I meant I just followed lunatic hai lol
tawny sigil
i cant deny that
magic zinc
Yeah that might be a nice plug but it really is nothing compared, you guessed it
dusk garden
fissure was kongdoo
magic zinc
T-MOBILE BABYYYY

mr.x has grown
pearl stratus
Time to see if Hydration is off or on today.
magic zinc
Mr. X has a personal box
dusk garden
oh and btw, contenders tomorrow
pearl stratus
Since he doesn't have a mid.
magic zinc
its hilarious
molten skiff
i feel he's growing every time
pearl stratus
I don't.
magic zinc
Did you see the World Cup memes?
pearl stratus
I feel like his first 3 maps of Stage 3 he looked worse than MG.
magic zinc
They gave him an extra box every day
pearl stratus
He's either good, or he's garbage.
magic zinc
So he got taller and taller
pearl stratus
he's so inconsistent this stage.
magic zinc
He started off wayyyy below Uber, ended up having to look way down at him
He had like 3 boxes at the end
Ah it was pre-season not World Cup sorry
pearl stratus
I do not think I'd want to play an Orissa into a Lucio.
So easy to boop around that shield.
wind girder
I had never seen that box thing, quite surreal how tall he is at the end
