Asher did a flick-stick onto 2 supports

[pearl cedar]

[magic zinc]

[pearl cedar]

that was too fucking good

[dreamy belfry]

Fissure plays like he's been with glads forever

[tawny sigil]

bring back 2010 meme "Is this real life?"

[pearl stratus]

They'll replay that a million times

[magic zinc]

2011 meme "No this is Patrick"

[molten skiff]

hoyl shi

[dreamy belfry]

There's just a lot of team synergy in general

[dusk garden]

OUTLAWS OVERRATED, VALIANT OUTDATED, LONG HAVE WE WATIED, GLADIATORS ACTIVATED

[wind girder]

asher plz

[molten skiff]

glad beat them in preseason

FUUUUUUUu

[pearl stratus]

If Glad wins the whole thing Asher is getting Player of the Match lol

[molten skiff]

lets gooooooooo

[dreamy belfry]

@molten skiff Fissure came from spitfire's bench, so they have a lot of insight to spitfire's picks

[pearl stratus]

I feel bad for Houston, they literally need to change their entire play style.

[dreamy belfry]

endo, same with fuel and dynasty

[pearl cedar]

why is spitfire not playing bdosin though

[magic zinc]

Glads are looking amazing

[eternal moss]

whats going on in twitch chat

[pearl cedar]

such a joke

[molten skiff]

that true as well

[pearl stratus]

Dynasty already did.

[pearl cedar]

they're not taking glads seriously

[balmy wolf]

London are playing Busan

thats why

[dreamy belfry]

i mean dragons*

[pearl cedar]

and glad is clappin em for it

[dreamy belfry]

im retarded lmao

[magic zinc]

They're spamming TriHard7 to show its not racist I guess

[dusk garden]

nothing, close twitch chat

[balmy wolf]

they're not playing bdosin

[magic zinc]

Not sure really

[dusk garden]

its a protest

[pearl stratus]

Houston needs to swap from playing against the dive to being aggressive.

[slim summit]

this is a disaster

[wind girder]

twitch said theyd ban all posters of trihard7

[dusk garden]

do like you would do to any other protest, ignore it

[slim summit]

what the fuck

what is this team

[pearl cedar]

O GOD

[magic zinc]

Yeah thats why they're mass doing it, no way they'd ban 20k people

[pearl stratus]

I literally don't care about a protest by 12 year olds.

[dreamy belfry]

Houston needs to stop letting jake play anything but rat

[eternal moss]

The ppl that think TriHard is racist are the type of people that think there are more than 2 genders LOOOOOOOL XD

[pearl cedar]

thats disgustingggg

[dreamy belfry]

he had like no accuracy with soldier, bad ults

[halcyon fiber]

a team with korean tanks

[tawny sigil]

im "WTF"ing IRL

[little gale]

jake is a gm soldier just not a pro soldier

[magic zinc]

Hago got deleted monkaS

[dusk garden]

ASHER

POPPING OFF

[dreamy belfry]

Hydration is feeling it today too

[magic zinc]

D.va rockets are balanced btw

[dreamy belfry]

Overall, glads team play is insane right now

[magic zinc]

Yeah they're one-upping London's DPS I wasn't expecting that

[slim summit]

team play

individual play

[wind girder]

profittt, where is your aimmm

[little gale]

what are you aiming at

[dreamy belfry]

Where is birdring

[wind girder]

but yes, team is being outlplayd on a strategic levekl

[eternal moss]

dva nerf pls ty

[balmy wolf]

more like where is his blink management lol

wasted 3 in a row

[slim summit]

sigh profit why

[dusk garden]

GG

[dreamy belfry]

1 hp jesus

[magic zinc]

Uhhh yes show me the 50 second Tracer duel dont show the teamfight

[pearl cedar]

Asher kept profit out of the fight

lmao

[magic zinc]

That being said spectating has been much better

[slim summit]

did Zen just survive a pulse!???

[halcyon fiber]

lucio saved zen

[eternal moss]

ez

[slim summit]

because of beat

holy shit that timing

[halcyon fiber]

clutch beat

[hushed sandal]

All the Trihard 7 in chat darn

[slim summit]

i'm not even mad

this is unreal

[magic zinc]

What is going on wew

[halcyon fiber]

tbh, it was random beat 😄

[balmy wolf]

[halcyon fiber]

just lucky timing

[wind girder]

[pearl cedar]

it wasnt random

[balmy wolf]

it was definitely on purpose

[pearl cedar]

it was 99%

[little gale]

beat after trans

[pearl cedar]

and meant as an opener

[magic zinc]

Yeah Pulse Bomb time is shorter than beat

[balmy wolf]

biggoose is just a god

[magic zinc]

So you'd have to pre-emptively beat

[balmy wolf]

he is such a good lucio its ridiculous

[dusk garden]

paid actor

[wind girder]

you guys ready for the reverse sweep? I'm calling it (hoping for it)

[pearl stratus]

He's not Tobi, but he's damn good

[slim summit]

prays

🙏

[feral wing]

what is happening

[dreamy belfry]

Idk. Glads is doing insane rn

[feral wing]

holy

[balmy wolf]

they wont reverse sweep lol

[feral wing]

this

damn

[dreamy belfry]

They need birdring in on spitfire tbh

[balmy wolf]

the only way london wins is if they bring in KDP

Busan are doing nooothing

they need that godly kdp mix

[pearl stratus]

I'm confused why we're still basically seeing a London B team

[dusk garden]

whos londons fourth DPS player?

[dreamy belfry]

Idk, but all they need is profit and birdring

the two of them are insane together

[slim summit]

rawkus

right?

[balmy wolf]

birdring, profit, hooreg

[supple spear]

If Gladiators wins, are they the best team in the League since London won stage 1?

[dreamy belfry]

rawkus is supp

[feral wing]

purple lowkey finna best color

[wind girder]

think they massively undeerestimated the glads

[balmy wolf]

they dont have a 4th

[slim summit]

I don't remember

ah

[feral wing]

this must feel great for fissure

I mean

[dusk garden]

oh yeah their 4th would be rascal

[pearl stratus]

London isn't even the best team in the league right now by map numbers lol

[feral wing]

he didnt get any damn playtime on london

[balmy wolf]

London may have won the finals but nyxl won stage 1

[dreamy belfry]

Fissure has to feel great about this

[feral wing]

polo

spitfire won stage 1

wut

[dusk garden]

joao pedro veloso de goes telles man thats a long ass name

[feral wing]

sure nyxl got the best win-loss

but london beat them in the title matches

[indigo barn]

Talk about dominance

[feral wing]

but seriously

[supple spear]

Overall standings, NYXL. Stage 1 finals, London

[feral wing]

this must feel great for fissure

[indigo barn]

London beat them twice

[balmy wolf]

16-1 and 5-2

lol

[pearl stratus]

I'd rather have the map wins honestly when the real finals come, but thats long term thinking

[dusk garden]

bot

[feral wing]

doesnt get any playtime on spitfire because they dont think hes good enough and then he goes over to gladiators and now hes destroying his old team

[balmy wolf]

the finals dont matter

[feral wing]

damn

[dusk garden]

go back to being a bot

[balmy wolf]

if you want to win the league you need map wins overall

[pearl stratus]

Do you have koreans on your team?

[dusk garden]

bots dont have emotions

[balmy wolf]

finals just decide who gets the stage prizemoney

[dreamy belfry]

Spitfire isn't stressing on map wins RN

they're actually insane too

[marsh pumice]

so new coach and new lineup and london is going downhill, time to pick a new team to chear on

[feral wing]

goldenboi

[dusk garden]

goldenboi

dont steal my meme

[magic zinc]

He has a signature on it too lol

[dreamy belfry]

Just put birdring back in 😦

[feral wing]

I never root for korean teams

[dusk garden]

he was a golden boi

[slim summit]

ohhh nooooo

[dusk garden]

he said

idk

[feral wing]

because they always destroy everyone ;-;

[magic zinc]

"I came to get a hug from Soe"

[slim summit]

yikes

[magic zinc]

me too thanks

[pearl cedar]

Spicyyyy

[pearl stratus]

I just route for the teams that play well together.

[pearl cedar]

'it was YOU who shoulda been traded'

[dreamy belfry]

I root for dynasty and spitfire

[feral wing]

it aint fun to root for the team who always wins

[dusk garden]

^

[dreamy belfry]

but i really have to hand it to glads rn

[slim summit]

spitfire loses constantly to bad teams

[dreamy belfry]

And destroys great teams

lmao

[feral wing]

thats why I root for philadelphia fusion

they are inconistent

[pearl stratus]

Spitfirei is one of the teams that plays as well as their oppontents.

Its weird.

[feral wing]

sometimes they destroy the best teams in the league and other times they almost lose to the worst ones

[dusk garden]

shaz played genji?!?!? and i missed that??

[rustic perch]

i root for dynasty, not because they're korean but because lunatic hai was my favorite overwatch team since ever

[feral wing]

it makes it always exciting

[dusk garden]

wtf

[pearl stratus]

If they play bad teams, they don't look impressive.

[dreamy belfry]

@rustic perch Same

[slim summit]

London has been playing very poorly today

[feral wing]

you never know if they'll lose or win

[dreamy belfry]

Jehong is my favorite player, made me an ana main tbh

[feral wing]

tough week for fusion tho

;-;

[dusk garden]

I would have rooted for EnVyUs (dallas) but everything is going downhill for them so now I'm just a shanghai fan

[rustic perch]

i'd still love to see esca in dynasty tho but that'll never happen sadly

[wind girder]

lucio solo heal

[dreamy belfry]

Jjonak is actually nutty though. I wish I liked NYXL more

[marsh pumice]

i feel you @dusk garden im switching from london to shangai too then

[dreamy belfry]

I just want dragons to get a win before their new players get here

[marsh pumice]

😦

[feral wing]

''let surefour play bastion''

hell yeah

[pearl stratus]

NYXL has probably the best personalities of the league.

[feral wing]

wut lol

[pearl stratus]

If I knew nothing else about the team.

I'd like NYXL just for Ark.

Because Ark is precious.

[feral wing]

ehm

florida mayhem?

[marsh pumice]

here i come, yes im your new fan!

[pearl stratus]

Ark is literally better personality than all of Florida.

[feral wing]

every one of their matches is just a meme

[rustic perch]

florida is just positive and the "meme team"

[feral wing]

no lmfao

[balmy wolf]

they wont @dreamy belfry

[feral wing]

florida have the best walkouts ever

[pearl stratus]

Because its better than a walk of shame.

[rustic perch]

good walkouts =/= personality

[pearl stratus]

I don't agree with be a meme because your team is a pipe dream.

[dreamy belfry]

I can only hope, polo. I really hope they do

[balmy wolf]

no point

[feral wing]

meme teams > korean team with 0 personality

just sayin

[dreamy belfry]

With Diya, they may have stood a chance against dynasty's b roster

[pearl stratus]

The fact you say NYXL has no personality proves that you're wrong.

[balmy wolf]

only team they stand a chance against is houston in week 5

the rest of the games are losses

100%

[tawny sigil]

they fine XQC for Trihard and they let the caster off with "feelsgoodman"

[dreamy belfry]

You just think they have no personality because you don't follow them is all

[pearl stratus]

Better memes than a walkout are Ark and Kazper doing an interview where Ark points out he just destroyed Kazper in the shoes Kazper bought for him.

"I wore your shoes just to beat you."

[dreamy belfry]

Someone should hold up a trihard 7 sign lmfao

I'd actually die

[pearl stratus]

That'd be funny because I have like.. a 90% certainty they'd throw them out of the match.

[rustic perch]

well i don't say i can understand the punishment for trihard, but trihard is more used in a racist manner than pepe

[pearl stratus]

"You know how we ban this on twitch? Well what do you think the arena does? Have a good day."

[dreamy belfry]

Still be funny af lmao

[dusk garden]

please nerf mercy please

[pearl stratus]

I just feel bad for xQc because his fans are making him look like the King of Retardopia over this.

Needs to settle his citizens down.

[dreamy belfry]

Telling xqc's fanboys to calm down makes it worse

let's be real

[pearl stratus]

Sterilize the lot of em.

[tawny sigil]

mercy is slowly getting more and more use time in OWL stage 2

[pearl stratus]

Need Bob Barker in here.

[dusk garden]

M O I S T

[pearl stratus]

"Remember to spay and neuter your twitch fans."

[slim summit]

"Just because I spark something, and it turns into a big fire, I can't do anything about that" - actual xQc quote

[tawny sigil]

like yesterdat there was Res like crazy

[slim summit]

[pearl stratus]

I like Blizzard distracting everyone with their own stupid memes though.

"Let Zen walk."

"Give Mercy two guns."

[rustic perch]

so quick question, since xqc's suspension "takes effect on march 12th", does this mean he's able to play today?

[dreamy belfry]

Those are funny af

lmaoi

[slim summit]

shit was dead after torb wallrun

[balmy wolf]

yes @rustic perch

[feral wing]

give torb his wall climb

[dreamy belfry]

He is able to play

[pearl stratus]

Yes, but he probably won't lol

[feral wing]

or double jump

or some sort of jetpack

would make him a lot better

[rustic perch]

that's also dumb, like why would you even allow him to play the next match then

[pearl stratus]

He's probably in internal trouble, and they may just keep him benched.

[dreamy belfry]

Did taimou catch a ban or just a fine

[rustic perch]

either suspend him instantly or dont suspend him at all

[feral wing]

fine

[pearl cedar]

taimou just fined

[feral wing]

fine

pine

[pearl stratus]

From a logistic standpoint it makes more sense to do it on a week by week basis.

[feral wing]

😮

[pearl stratus]

As opposed to starting a punishment midweek.

I'd guess.

[rustic perch]

well yea, thats true as well, but depends on how you look at it

[pearl cedar]

I'm expecting bdosin and birdring back in

[pearl stratus]

I'm looking at it from a purely business standpoint.

[dreamy belfry]

Drains, the problem is making sure they have time to adjust their roster imo

[pearl stratus]

Since I'm sure its how Blizzard does too.

[rustic perch]

but if you get banned, like completely kicked out of OWL, they wont wait either, they'd ban him instantly

[balmy wolf]

if they stay with GCB for the last map, they're throwing

[pearl stratus]

Just saying - they won't ever flat out ban xQc from OWL. It'd be too much negative press.

[balmy wolf]

there's a big difference between being suspended for 2 weeks and getting kicked out of owl lmao

[pearl stratus]

They'll just push him till he quits and Dallas lets him out of his contract.

It'd look better all around.

And he's more likely to just rage quit anyway.

[rustic perch]

but tbh he'd be better off if he leaves

[pearl stratus]

Gotta play to the Public Relations.

[dreamy belfry]

I don't think xqc plays well with fuel anyway tbh

[pearl stratus]

Mentally, he probably will. He's a lot more... alive? On stream.

If that makes sense.

He's just happier.

[slim summit]

ladder strats aint translating

[pearl stratus]

Effects post too, EnvyUS strats aren't translating either.

[slim summit]

probably because he doesn't only lose on stream

like he does in OWL

[rustic perch]

i like xqc, but i don't think his personality is fitting for a place like OWL, it's too much pressure for him, he should stay at what he's best with, streaming and entertaining his viewers

[pearl stratus]

Because its not just about playing around one player.

So its not the Effect and Friends show.

Or the AKM and friends show.

It doesn't work.

[magic zinc]

I'm still not sure who this girl is

[slim summit]

guns ablazin'

[magic zinc]

Is she the woman doing EU Contenders tomorrow?

[balmy wolf]

[slim summit]

she's from Supergirl

[dreamy belfry]

She's malik's replacement while he's busy being butthurt

[pearl cedar]

I think they should've given her a crash course on overwatch

[tawny sigil]

omg i feel so bad for her... she does the exact same thing everytime

[magic zinc]

She sounds so... forced

[pearl cedar]

Malik does a better job imo

[dreamy belfry]

Yeah

[balmy wolf]

I dont think malik is butthurt

[pearl stratus]

Ironically though I think if he was smart about it I think xQc's personality would have actually fit really well into OWL if he was more positive with it.

[pearl cedar]

significantly

[tawny sigil]

"omg this is crazy... how are you guys feeling... alright back to the casters"

[dreamy belfry]

@balmy wolf Did you read his tweets lmao

[pearl stratus]

He'd be a huge PR face of the league if he was as spastic as he is in a positive matter.

[pearl cedar]

its not that shes forced, she just lacks knowledge about the team

[balmy wolf]

okay so london isnt throwing

what tweet

[slim summit]

lmao

[tawny sigil]

yeah she seems to have no idea whats going on

[frozen yew]

Why would london throw??

[slim summit]

OWL is fixed

[dreamy belfry]

Alright they got profit birdring in

[magic zinc]

Malik is upset about getting deathreats in his DMs I feel like that's fair enough lol

[balmy wolf]

I thought he just adressed that xqc was fine and that he should acted a little bit different at the end

[dreamy belfry]

Malik was also upset about trihard 7 in chat lol

[worn falcon]

BOY wtf

[tawny sigil]

Malik is in australia

[pearl stratus]

He addressed that xQc was fine, but that the emote has been used towards him in a racist manner for years.

[worn falcon]

Gladiators is beating Spitfire?

[slim summit]

traveling? no, he must be butthurt

[balmy wolf]

oh i didnt read that much of the thread lol

[pearl stratus]

And xQc happened to make a really stupid thing at a really stupid time.

Which sucks. But professionalism.

[slim summit]

at several really stupid times

a statistically significant number of really stupid times

[dreamy belfry]

It's nothing to do with professionalism

[elder skiff]

What's happening

[balmy wolf]

i wonder if its because he uses it all the time

[tawny sigil]

2 planet happened to align with the sun... and xQC got banned for it

[balmy wolf]

[elder skiff]

Why are my babies not winning

[pearl cedar]

ayy bdosin !!

[tawny sigil]

thats basically it

[slim summit]

malik gets like 5 minutes of screen time in a 10 hour stream

[elder skiff]

Are they throwing on purpose?

[dreamy belfry]

@elder skiff They just put birdring in

[pearl stratus]

I think it has more to do with his fans becoming rabid little abortion clinic advertisements.

[pearl cedar]

who, spitfire?

[slim summit]

how tf does xqc keep accidentally using TriHard when he's there?

[pearl cedar]

theyre not throwing on purpose

[slim summit]

explain

[pearl cedar]

Gladiators are looking like a good team

[balmy wolf]

he did it once

[slim summit]

no

[elder skiff]

@dreamy belfry so they were throwing

[slim summit]

he did it at least 6 times

[dreamy belfry]

Easy, he uses it when he's not there too

[tawny sigil]

he spam it constantly

[pearl stratus]

Like shit. If I was in charge of Trojan or Durex advertising.

[tawny sigil]

thats the thing

[slim summit]

not constantly

[pearl cedar]

they ran hooreg and hago instead of birdring/bdosin

[dreamy belfry]

He's used it since the second OWL stream, over a month before malik was even on

[magic zinc]

I dont think they were throwing LAG was just really good

[balmy wolf]

yes constantly

[pearl stratus]

I'd try to endorse Dallas fuel right now.

[tawny sigil]

he said it himself he used it 100+ times

[slim summit]

do you understand the point i'm trying to make here

[balmy wolf]

xqc uses trihard 7 all the time

[slim summit]

malik is almost never on screen

[magic zinc]

Guys can we drop the xQc drama we've got a game

[slim summit]

xqc's TriHard usage was objectively disproportionate to that screen time

[tawny sigil]

he said himself he didnt even have the stream open when it first happened

[magic zinc]

Coalscendance in 40 seconds okay Moira

[tawny sigil]

he only had the chat

[slim summit]

mhmmm

[pearl stratus]

I mean thats a matter of trusting him, which he's lost a lot of.

[slim summit]

and what about the next several times

[dreamy belfry]

Malik wasn't even on OWL when it first happened, if w

if we're being real..

[slim summit]

and yet

when Malik was first on OWL

it happened

🤷

[wind girder]

@magic zinc happens with triple tank

[magic zinc]

Oh I know

Its more of a

why tho

[dreamy belfry]

Who cares? It obviously wasn't racist. It never has been

[pearl stratus]

It's more that yes, he used it before. But it doesn't excuse how he used it at that moment.

[magic zinc]

Its not a very strong Ult so I'll give it that

[dreamy belfry]

If it was a white dude's face when reinforce was on screen, nobody would care

[pearl stratus]

And after the Hearthstone thing, it is.

Whether you want it to be or not.

[slim summit]

are you saying the emote cannot be used to be racist?

[wind girder]

its like a smoke grenade

[magic zinc]

Oooh big slam

[wind girder]

REVERSE SWEEP HERE WE COME

[magic zinc]

I hate Moira's Ult not for its usage but because I can't see shit with it

[pearl stratus]

A bunch of teenage kids sitting at home don't get to determine how other people interpret an emote. Especially after Terrences issues on the Twitch streams during the Hearthstone tournamnets.

[tawny sigil]

LONDON IS MAD BECAUSE they're 0-2 right now

[pearl stratus]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

The prize this time was a 4k fine and 4 game suspension.

[spare junco]

fissure >playing Winston on KR instead of Rein

[little gale]

emotes are the modern books

first you burn the emotes then you burn people

slippery slope

[slim summit]

good point

[dreamy belfry]

Hydration is a good jake

I mean junkrat

I get them confused

[spare junco]

somebody read fahrenheit 451 kappa

[vapid herald]

Gladiators have got so much better in such a short time

[pearl stratus]

It's a symbol, your better analogy would be the swastika. Which has historical roots in native american theology and other religions.

But thats not what anyone remembers it for.

Thanks Germany. Way to ruin it for everyone.

[little gale]

playing against pharah and junk

[magic zinc]

Not running Rein on King's Row is asking to be shattered man

[little gale]

that is dusgusting

rein into pharah junk

is hardcore

[magic zinc]

Oh shit Fissure went so deep there

Not worth it in the end I reckon

[marsh pumice]

go go

[pearl stratus]

I'm glad London put out a real roster.

[dreamy belfry]

That's a hard spot to hold. Glads still have it in them

[marsh pumice]

yeh

@pearl stratus +1

[magic zinc]

Yeah King's Row gets interested either at the very first push or at the last point

[pearl stratus]

Yeah, streets are a nasty spawn disadvantage for defense.

[magic zinc]

Streets in any map are not great

[pearl stratus]

As long as you trade smartly offense will always win.

[magic zinc]

Have you guys seen Blizzardworld's spawns?

Thats just 2CP

its kinda horrifying

[pearl stratus]

Blizz world is a mess.

Thats what you get when they listen to the community.

[dreamy belfry]

I like the map, but not the spawns

[magic zinc]

I dont like a single thing about that map lol

[slim summit]

will London ever get another kill?

[pearl stratus]

"WE WANT LOT OF FLANKING ROUTES. AND SPAWN POINTS."

[little gale]

imo we need more kings row

[pearl stratus]

And we get god damn Blizz World.

[little gale]

rein maps

[dusk garden]

O O F

[slim summit]

gg ez

[magic zinc]

King's Row is BY FAR my favorite map

Nothing comes close

[pearl stratus]

I'm actually surprised neither team is fielding a Zarya.

[brisk roost]

London gonna reverse sweep this shit

[little gale]

i just wish Zarya would be more meta

[pearl stratus]

KR is one of the better places for her.

[magic zinc]

Well they're both on dive again

And D.va is better against Pharah than Zarya I suppose

[dusk garden]

WOO

[pearl cedar]

S4 clapped birdring's widow

holyyy

[indigo barn]

bruh london aint SHT

[pearl cedar]

i think that's the best widow he's played

all season

geezusss

[little gale]

lag is really good right now

[balmy wolf]

yo idk why they are losing rn

[pearl stratus]

He had no pressure though Menance.

[tawny sigil]

No one in the london team even knows english

[magic zinc]

I mean I think we just gotta credit LAG here

[north tendon]

gladiators showing up big

[pearl cedar]

if they can cap 1st i think they can easily get it the rest of the way

[north tendon]

dam

[indigo barn]

so the just needed an insane tank main to unlock their true potential

[magic zinc]

They're playing out of their minds

[pearl stratus]

You don't get a lot of pressure on widow with that small of a time amount left.

Because you can't leave the cart to pressure her.

[pearl cedar]

Yeah they didnt have a dva in his face as much

[pearl stratus]

So she gets free reign.

[indigo barn]

bro these guys are gonna fk up houston next week

[dusk garden]

^

[frozen yew]

GLADIATORS TAKE MY SHIELD GENERATOR

[pearl cedar]

i meant before the OT though

[balmy wolf]

like I understand that fissure and the specializations on the dps made them good but I didnt think it would be giant killing good

[pearl stratus]

It happens on a few of the maps in this cycle.

Where Widow just gets free reign.

[pearl cedar]

where he killed birdring

[magic zinc]

Gibraltar is probably best for free-reign Widow

[pearl cedar]

then the mercy

[magic zinc]

Really hard to contest her there

[pearl stratus]

Gibraltar last point, on attack.

Especially.

[brisk roost]

@indigo barn Pls don't be real

[little gale]

i just hate widow

[magic zinc]

Yeah at the far back

Good luck contesting that when you're fighting at spawn

[pearl stratus]

Your only real counter is another widow.

[indigo barn]

nah man our boyz aren't looking that spicey rn

[grizzled kayak]

yo guys

[pearl stratus]

Because you can't leave the point.

[brisk roost]

You never know man

[little gale]

widow makes the game boring

[indigo barn]

fissure is gonna hammer muma into the ground

[balmy wolf]

any map with very long sightlines id good for her

[magic zinc]

oh lol

[grizzled kayak]

why does biggoose get booed by the audience?

[brisk roost]

I always have faith in my boys

[dusk garden]

HANZO POGGERS

[magic zinc]

I think they're yelling

Goooooose

[pearl stratus]

Widow on LAN is interesting to me, because it literally changes her entire value.

[magic zinc]

instead of boooooo

[dusk garden]

O O F

[pearl stratus]

This is a huge Hanzo map, I love watching libero on Kings row.

[indigo barn]

SUREFOUR GIVES 0 FUKS

[slim summit]

[magic zinc]

Hanzo pls stay with team

[little gale]

[brisk roost]

But yeah bruh S4 isn't playing around

[dusk garden]

[little gale]

mercy

[pearl cedar]

OMHH

[little gale]

lol

[molten skiff]

that pun

[pearl cedar]

fuck

[pearl stratus]

He's just map dependent.

Hanzo has always been a good first point hero for KR.

[pearl cedar]

Hydration fuckk

[indigo barn]

is birdring on drugs

[pearl cedar]

that rocket onto mercy

[slim summit]

Why does London keep trying to 1v6

[pearl cedar]

omgg

[slim summit]

STOP

[pearl cedar]

they had the advantage actually

fissure + hydration popped off though

[pearl stratus]

Surefour hasn't even felt like he needed to swap yet

[dusk garden]

its ok

[pearl stratus]

Lmao

[dusk garden]

4minteus

[pearl cedar]

Profit with the 4k

I think hydration should've ulted the mercy

[indigo barn]

same

[pearl cedar]

but blowing the trans works too

[idle beacon]

2-0 LAG? 😄

[dusk garden]

GO GLA

[pearl stratus]

Fissure created a bit of a rift.

...

[pearl cedar]

wow..

[dusk garden]

fissure was an insane pickup for gla

[pearl stratus]

That pun.

[pearl cedar]

insaneee

genjiii

[pearl stratus]

Profit and gesture are the best combination unless it costs you a thousand bucks.

Literally a mid stream pun about Profit flicking off the camera.

Well done.

[dreamy belfry]

Their jokes are funny lol

I love them

[pearl stratus]

These two, yeah.

[dusk garden]

HERES JOHNNY

[pearl stratus]

The regular casters are garbo.

[dreamy belfry]

[dreamy belfry]

can't wait for contenders

[dusk garden]

i love monte and doa

[indigo barn]

[idle beacon]

la.g being so freakin strong? 😃

[dreamy belfry]

Glads are dominating

[idle beacon]

did fissure turn the tide? 😄

[dusk garden]

FUCKING YES

[dreamy belfry]

Fissure plays so well withy them

[pearl stratus]

Basically Fissure has upgraded the LAG Dps.

[magic zinc]

Doomfist looks so much... cleaner on LAN

[indigo barn]

doomfist man its game over

[slim summit]

what in the fuck is this shit

[pearl cedar]

FIST ME DAD LETS GET IT

[dreamy belfry]

The teamwork is insane dude

[pearl stratus]

Because he gives them the room to do what they need.

[dusk garden]

CLOSE

UES

GG

[dreamy belfry]

Maybe fuel just needs a good main tank

[indigo barn]

GG

[slim summit]

what a joke

[indigo barn]

G FKING G

[pearl cedar]

GGG

[little gale]

GG

[tawny sigil]

rip in pieces

[dusk garden]

DAD IS HAPPY

[pearl stratus]

Fuel needs to not hate each other.

[magic zinc]

small c9

[pearl stratus]

They need one of those corporate retreats.

[indigo barn]

4-0 THIS SHIT

[pearl stratus]

With team building exercises.

[halcyon fiber]

that tire juke was smart

[coral bloom]

wow i want glads to 4-0 now

[spare junco]

mercy

[indigo barn]

THE GIANTS ARE COMING DOWN

[dreamy belfry]

The plan is litterally just kill gesture then win

[dusk garden]

4-0 THIS BITCH

[pearl stratus]

I mean thats a valid strat.

[indigo barn]

yeah but it works

[pearl stratus]

LAV used it on Houston.

[indigo barn]

if it works do it you know

[pearl stratus]

"Kill Muma. Watch them scramble."

[indigo barn]

houston aint sht without muma

[dusk garden]

^

[indigo barn]

they're trying to focus fissure hardcore

[short vault]

???

[indigo barn]

but he always survives

[pearl stratus]

Fissure just somehow survives.

It's crazy.

[exotic ginkgo]

spitfire just got smacked by LA?

[dusk garden]

fissure is a god

[dreamy belfry]

I think the new plan against outlaws is ignore jake unless he's on junkrat

[short vault]

yes

[pearl cedar]

those comms were insane hell yea

[frozen moat]

Man I wish they'd stop showing the coms

[indigo barn]

i thought gesture was the best tank in the league but now heck no

[pearl cedar]

i love those comms!

[short vault]

why

[exotic ginkgo]

i thought spitfire was like god team

[brisk roost]

@indigo barn Let's not talk down to our bois now

[short vault]

i like em

[exotic ginkgo]

lul

[pearl cedar]

you can feel the energy dude

[exotic ginkgo]

i don't watch much owl tho

[pearl stratus]

I'd say Gesture still is, but this is not his day.

[brisk roost]

They still have a chance to redeem themselves

[pearl stratus]

Fissure is right there with him though.

[pearl cedar]

Spitfire is a good team

[short vault]

but will they

ehh

[indigo barn]

@R8 Promethean#1784 they have a tall order to take down these purple boyz tho they lookin HAWT

[pearl cedar]

but Gladiators came to play today

[brisk roost]

The only chance they lose it is if they lose to Shanghai on the last week

[dusk garden]

if they 4-0 this im buying the biggoose skin

[dreamy belfry]

Fissure and gesture are probably the 2 best tanks in the league imo

[pearl stratus]

Shaz having a Jjonak game.

7.4k damage.

[pearl cedar]

and with Fissure on this line up, Glads are looking like a top 4 contender for this stage

[brisk roost]

XD!

[grizzled kayak]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

HOW

[dusk garden]

BECAUSE

[magic zinc]

I wish you could find the Stage standings easier

[pearl stratus]

The one thing about LAG is that if Hydration is playing well.

They have three super good dps.

As opposed to two dps and a sub.

[indigo barn]

they're taking down the team that 4-0'ed seoul dynasty

[pearl stratus]

Which is huge.

[pearl cedar]

That BigGoose kill on winston

[exotic ginkgo]

okay how does the format for owl go again cause i haven't been keeping up

[indigo barn]

shaz is their fourth dps

[pearl cedar]

during lijiang was sick

[south pelican]

wtf london

[dusk garden]

@indigo barn theyre taking down the team that won stage 1

[indigo barn]

@dusk garden ikr man

[pearl cedar]

uh, 5 stages of play over 4 weeks

then playoffs

[dusk garden]

they fucking beat nyxl

[indigo barn]

[elder skiff]

Ugh

[toxic yacht]

📞 BabyRage HELLO GLADIATORS 📞 BabyRage THIS IS SPITFIRE 📞 BabyRage WE WANT FISSURE BACK 📞 BabyRage

[indigo barn]

EW KILL IT

[pearl cedar]

each stage has its own mini tournament at the end for a cash prize

[exotic ginkgo]

surefour looks like such a fucking meme

[little gale]

Uber is on fire today

[grizzled kayak]

why

[pearl cedar]

uber's on fire everyday m8

[dusk garden]

im glad uber is gonna be casting todays last game too

[pearl cedar]

such a good caster lol

[forest wharf]

Wait wtf spitfire is about to be 4-0'd by LAG?

[little gale]

the puns today were amazing

[cursive talon]

mayhem or fuel

[indigo barn]

shock destroys nyxl today bois

[exotic ginkgo]

lag shitting on spitfire

[dusk garden]

mayhem gonna beat fuel tbh

[little gale]

fuel is gonna win

[pearl stratus]

I think there's a good chance Mayhem will win honestly.

Their DPS have been on fire the last few weeks.

[slim summit]

Before Dallas can beat Mayehm

[pearl stratus]

if they fix their tank issues there's a good chance.

[slim summit]

Dallas must beat Fuel

[exotic ginkgo]

is there another game after this one?

[pearl stratus]

Two more

[cursive talon]

lol

[magic zinc]

2 I think

[exotic ginkgo]

cool

:^ )

it still cracks me up that los angeles gladiators abbreviates to lag

[dusk garden]

its GLA

[forest wharf]

Really want mayhem to fuck fuel with a 4-0

[dusk garden]

same

[slim summit]

LAGLA

[forest wharf]

Then xqc quits right after

[pearl stratus]

If Florida beats Dallas today they'll need to post a suicide watch at the Dallas Dorm.

[cursive talon]

fuel needs more korean

[balmy wolf]

Fissure traded, Spitfire Devastated, Long Have we Waited, Gladiators activated.

[dusk garden]

football DansGame

[little gale]

fuel needs to fix themselves

they have good players

but 0 team cohesion

[pearl stratus]

Fuel needs to adjust their entire play style.

[little gale]

and 0 flexibility

[pearl stratus]

To not be a 1v11 model.

[little gale]

effect hard carries them

[pearl stratus]

Since its just support the one dps that isn't garbage, Effect or AKM

[slim summit]

xQc carries Fuel

[ruby pendant]

Florida didn't play bad last time

[pearl stratus]

Bad tanking, bad support.

[ruby pendant]

They can win against Fuel

[pearl stratus]

Florida has been playing really well this stage overall.

[little gale]

they put too much into akm

[pearl stratus]

they've just had really nasty match ups so far.

[dusk garden]

clap

[pallid cargo]

anyone else not getting token drops?

[little gale]

they are delayed

most likely

[pearl stratus]

He's a walking porkchop when hacked.

Jesus lmao

[dusk garden]

nope

i been getting them

[indigo barn]

all tanks are free ult charge when hacked its awesome

[dreamy belfry]

true

[dusk garden]

is it just me or they lowered the bitrate of the stream?

[cursive talon]

idk

[exotic ginkgo]

birdring

oof

[tawny sigil]

wtf how did that dva bomb not hit him

it qwas in his screen when it blew up

[rustic perch]

Line of sight, not general view counts

[little gale]

[exotic ginkgo]

spitfire1-3d

oof

surefour

[dusk garden]

[pearl stratus]

That stagger.

[exotic ginkgo]

is there tiebreakers or does 2-2 just end as a tie

[dusk garden]

no tie

no tiebreaker

[indigo barn]

damn daniel

[pearl stratus]

Not on this type of map.

[little gale]

you can tie on this map

[pearl stratus]

Oh series wise.

[exotic ginkgo]

i meant series

[pearl stratus]

They play a 5th game.

[exotic ginkgo]

eah

[hidden osprey]

yo what the fuck

[cursive talon]

lag already won

[indigo barn]

london's first 4-0 incoming????? rrriipppp

[pearl cedar]

there's a 5th game yes

[indigo barn]

*0-4

[pearl cedar]

if its tied 2-2*

[hidden osprey]

I check the score and spitfire are losing 0-3?!?!

[dusk garden]

londons first 0-4*

[pearl stratus]

Fissure wanted to send Gesture a message.

[south pelican]

Can london win now or is this match just for fun

[hidden osprey]

I regret missing most of the match

[dusk garden]

its for map differential

[exotic ginkgo]

london lost

[pearl stratus]

This is just for map count.

[exotic ginkgo]

but its for map score

ye

[south pelican]

haha

rip london

[exotic ginkgo]

stage 1 winner btw

[dusk garden]

gladiators the new outlaws

but better

[pearl stratus]

Nah.

Gladiators has koreans.

Houston is still a boy band.

[indigo barn]

houston is all white

[dreamy belfry]

Who cares about race

[dusk garden]

they have two koreans

[dreamy belfry]

It makes no difference

[pearl stratus]

Three.

[indigo barn]

glad is have korean like boston

[pearl stratus]

Fissure, Bischu, Asher.

[dusk garden]

two

[dreamy belfry]

They're playing well, that's what matters

[dusk garden]

bischu is canadian

[pearl stratus]

Bischu literally translates for Asher and Fissure, lol

[exotic ginkgo]

up to this point all my knowledge of overwatch league is the owl is a meme videos and one match of sf vs seoul or something

[short vault]

do you really wanna dive comp

[brisk roost]

RIP London lmao

[indigo barn]

the mei is just for disrespect

[pearl stratus]

What is this comp that LAG is running lmao

[short vault]

true

[pearl stratus]

Reaper and Mei.

[dreamy belfry]

@exotic ginkgo Seoul Dynasty is the best team, root for them

[exotic ginkgo]

that's boring tho

[little gale]

its anti sombtra

[indigo barn]

no one wants to root for the best team

you root for the underdogs

[little gale]

they were hoping they would play lower

and just melt them in the tunnel

[shy wind]

I root for London because c9 brand

so

[exotic ginkgo]

you root for a middle of the pack team so that they can still be competitive but don't lose every game

[shy wind]

🤷🏼

[brisk roost]

Underdogs becomes the big dogs eventually

[dusk garden]

one day shanghai is gonna win

[exotic ginkgo]

it's like rooting for skt in league up til this season :^)

[dusk garden]

and destroy

[indigo barn]

shanghai will win the fking season playoffs

[south pelican]

Watch Shanghai best Seoul now

[dusk garden]

shanghai 4-0 seoul

shanghai are really good, theyre just hiding their true power

[exotic ginkgo]

i actually haven't watched much overwatch since the 2016 world cup

[pearl stratus]

I mean Shanghai did win a map against Seouls bench.

[wet oyster]

lul

[little gale]

shanghai is just playing bad so when they bet 100mil the odds are insane

[dusk garden]

@exotic ginkgo yeah same ive been watching owl since the beginning of the season but before that i didnt watch any overwatch since OWWC 2016

[brisk roost]

Fissure is wrekin

[exotic ginkgo]

rjh

[dreamy belfry]

Ive watched a lot of contenders and apex

[wet oyster]

maybe they'll get a map

[brisk roost]

Nah I doubt it

[wet oyster]

i watched apex avidly

[brisk roost]

Glads are on fcking fire man

[wet oyster]

i didn't watch contenders

[exotic ginkgo]

overwatch is not the most spectator friendly game ever

[wet oyster]

been watching some owl

not a ton

[rustic perch]

i'd love to see more apex again

[exotic ginkgo]

owl improved that i think

[tawny sigil]

To put this match in perspective right now, this is the difference between -2 and -4 for london

[dreamy belfry]

OWL has improved the spectating immensely

[little gale]

if you don't know the game its prolly awfull

[dusk garden]

probably

[dreamy belfry]

If you don't know football it's awful too

[brisk roost]

Those good McCree players made me play McCree more tbh

[wet oyster]

thats true

[exotic ginkgo]

pine oof

[brisk roost]

Like Pine, Undead, Birdring, Linkzr etc

[wet oyster]

it's not as straightforward as most fps games

[tawny sigil]

they do explain therms for dirty casuals

[dusk garden]

O O F

[little gale]

american football is 80% ads and waiting

[slim summit]

ash me outside

how bou da

[dreamy belfry]

Contenders should be easier for less hardcore people to watch imo

[wet oyster]

i think it's easier to understand than some mobas though

DOTA

[exotic ginkgo]

watching pine makes me wet

[hidden osprey]

that pulse was perfect

[dreamy belfry]

ZP is just a better caster

[brisk roost]

PROFIT LMFAO

HE LITERALLY JUST STOOD THERE

[pearl cedar]

lmao

he accepted his fate

[spare junco]

HONEY

oh honey

[tawny sigil]

discouragement sure is settled in

[shy wind]

I'm also glad chat has calmed down

[wet oyster]

TAKE MY POWER GLADS

[shy wind]

[pearl stratus]

He got caught with a flash bang in the dash

[wet oyster]

dumb trans

[pearl stratus]

So he landed stun

[dusk garden]

THE SPRAY

LOL

[wet oyster]

ok to be fair i dont know why xqc got banned for saying trihard 7

[exotic ginkgo]

who would win: stage 1 winning top team, or 1 high pingy boi

[dusk garden]

1 high pingy boi

[dreamy belfry]

Let's go to general discussion for drama

[balmy wolf]

Why r they playing 4 matches didn't they won 3 to 0

[dreamy belfry]

We already talked about xqc today

@balmy wolf Map differential

[hidden osprey]

1 high pingy boi

[shy wind]

Ay not 4-0

[dusk garden]

GG

stage 1 winners btw

[south pelican]

[balmy wolf]

[pearl cedar]

Profit mindgames

[indigo barn]

SHIELDS UP

[pearl cedar]

[brisk roost]

Damn I thought it was gonna be a 0-4

[rustic perch]

nyxl sfshock

[dreamy belfry]

@balmy wolf The finals are determined by map differential. The teams with the most map wins are the real winners

[shy wind]

@dusk garden yeah all gladiators had to do was buy some koreans

[south pelican]

i feel like London did this on purpose

[quasi python]

i woke up this morning and london lost

[dusk garden]

paid actors

[pearl stratus]

Shouldn't have woken up.

All your fault

[quasi python]

[brisk roost]

Lmfao

[pearl stratus]

Just die in your sleep next time so London wins.

[brisk roost]

Wow you're harsh bro

[dreamy belfry]

Glads needs to send a thank you letter to spitfire for letting fissure go

[indigo barn]

if it's your favorite team and they lose, They were faking it

[pearl cedar]

Naw

[pearl stratus]

A nice muffin basket

[pearl cedar]

Gladiators paid $$ for that contract

[brisk roost]

So Houston has been faking their losses all the time 👀

[pearl cedar]

Bdosin with 11k damage damn

[dreamy belfry]

Yeah i know menace

[indigo barn]

yes buddy

[little gale]

Don't tell Fuel

[indigo barn]

houston still top dawg

[dreamy belfry]

I want zen to have an amplified damage stat

[cerulean plume]

The classic e-sports are rigged argument YIKES

[brisk roost]

Fawk yeah

Yo I'd laugh so hard if Mayhem beats Fuel xD!

If they played like yesterday

They have a chance

[cerulean plume]

They should be able to tbh

[dreamy belfry]

If mayhem played like last night, they can

[slim summit]

Mayhem only has to beat Dallas

[shy wind]

I wouldn't be surprised if dragons could beat fuel

lul

[dreamy belfry]

If Xqc is in today, mayhem will def win

[slim summit]

Dallas has to beat Fuel and then Mayhem

lol yeah

[brisk roost]

Isn't xQc already banned lol

So he can't be there tonight

[slim summit]

xQc is gonna carry today

[dusk garden]

[dreamy belfry]

His ban starts the 12th

[pearl cedar]

banned from the 12th technically

but we'll see if he plas

[dusk garden]

ban takes place on 12th

[brisk roost]

Oh RIP

[pearl cedar]

[brisk roost]

Lmfao

[little gale]

[brisk roost]

So today is his last day right?

[cerulean plume]

[dreamy belfry]

Idk if oge is ready

[brisk roost]

Before Stage 3

[dreamy belfry]

r8, for 4 matches

idk how many are left

[slim summit]

Dallas is bad regardless

[little gale]

I feel bad for effect

[shy wind]

Eh I have high hopes for London, having a bad game just makes you stronger for a better team, so you can analyze mistakes.

[brisk roost]

Oh those two speaks English huh

[minor ingot]

wait what happened spitfire lost?

[brisk roost]

Oh Bischu only I guess

[molten skiff]
