Four games.

They extended it to cover the last two.

I refuse to give up on a player before putting in a big effort to help them achieve their dreams and goals as a professional. Just want ya’ll to know that.

#

Oh yeah

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 6:43 PM

#

Which lets be fair.

#

He probably wasn't going to play those last two games anyway.

#

After missing four weeks of practice time and play.

orchid herald Mar 12, 2018, 6:44 PM

#

That’s why they extended it

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 6:44 PM

#

So it was an easy concession that makes it look like they side with the league.

#

While not giving up much.

#

Pure PR, most likely.

orchid herald Mar 12, 2018, 6:44 PM

#

But then dallas was like “we’re gonna help him practice and give him help during the ban”

#

That never happened

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 6:44 PM

#

I actually bet it did.

#

Look at xQc's stream.

#

Look at that personality.

#

Imagine offering him help.

solid spear Mar 12, 2018, 6:44 PM

#

DGoo

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 6:44 PM

#

How seriously do you think he'd take it?

#

Unless he thought he needed it.

#

xQc's mentality is to be emotionally raw, all the time. It's the only way to be honest. To himself I doubt he thinks what he does is wrong because he's speaking from the heart.

orchid herald Mar 12, 2018, 6:45 PM

#

Xqc acts for his streams entertainment

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 6:45 PM

#

xQc doesn't run his stream, that's your biggest issue. His stream runs him.

orchid herald Mar 12, 2018, 6:45 PM

#

While he still is energetic he isn’t insane like on stream

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 6:45 PM

#

I think Dallas could have offered all the help in the world.

#

And I don't think he would have attempted any of it.

#

Because his stream validates how he acts, and encourages it more while stroking his ego.

orchid herald Mar 12, 2018, 6:46 PM

#

Idk

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 6:46 PM

#

His stream is literally cancer to his non-streaming career.

orchid herald Mar 12, 2018, 6:46 PM

#

I just think the whole situation is stupid in itself

#

First punishment was fine

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 6:46 PM

#

I'm not saying its not. I think Blizzard didn't do themselves justice by attacking both sides of the issue in terms of the casters.

orchid herald Mar 12, 2018, 6:46 PM

#

Second was stupid

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 6:46 PM

#

But this second punishment wasn't wrong.

#

Even if you take the emote thing entirely out of it, he still said a bunch of stupid shit.

#

And then got riled up by his stream, and said some more stupid shit.

#

And because he doesn't filter his emotions he got himself in more trouble for it.

orchid herald Mar 12, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

He was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the emote
He cursed at the casters because they literally called him a tumor

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

Here's the biggest issue with that.

orchid herald Mar 12, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

And nothing happened to the casters

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

They weren't wrong. But they said it wrong as hell.

#

And yes, people should be mad nothing happened to the casters.

#

That's what you get upset with Blizzard about.

#

But not the ban, because the ban was warranted.

#

Behavior A will never excuse Behavior B.

#

At most it mitigates, but doesn't excuse.

#

And when its your second offense, even mitigated you're screwed.

orchid herald Mar 12, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

Fair enough

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

People should be requesting that Casters/Analysts are held to the same behavior levels as the players, and they should be requesting Blizzard be more transparent with their fines.

#

If xQc's situation taught us nothing - it should at least have that come out of it.

#

My guess with the fines is that its their first season. They have a general outline of how they want fines to work.

#

But actions rarely fall into a neat little line on the outline.

#

And they're flailing as they try and figure it out.

#

But even so - you'd get more respect by saying "Honestly this is our first season, we're trying to do the best we can and make sure the fines fit the magnitude of the situation. But for many of us this is the first time trying to judge these situations and we are doing the best we can."

#

Than saying nothing.

X6's Architect (DPS) and ChoiHyoBin (Flex) have signed to the SF Shock, sources said.

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:09 PM

Eh.

#

It's from Slasher.

#

I'd literally trust a semi-truck full of bricks driving over a popsicle stick bridge more than him lately.

Architect 👀

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:11 PM

#

It'd be a great pick up if its true, but I'd need Trumps twitter to confirm.

#

It's more reliable.

limber pine Mar 12, 2018, 7:12 PM

#

Architect has confirmed he's been signed

#

just not by what team

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:13 PM

#

Slasher just kind of reminds me of a Fox Journalist.

#

He throws so much shit at the wall to see what sticks

#

Then points to the stuff that stayed up to be like "SEE I CALLED IT"

While ignoring the giant pile on the floor.

Would that mean 12 players for Shock?

limber pine Mar 12, 2018, 7:24 PM

yes

#

with super and sinatraa underage

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:27 PM

Sinatraa is only underage till next week.

tight vault Mar 12, 2018, 7:28 PM

#

sinatraa

magic zinc Mar 12, 2018, 7:28 PM

#

Can underage people still scrim?

#

Or is that considered work

tight vault Mar 12, 2018, 7:29 PM

#

isn't sinatraa like one of the best OW players worstherointhegame

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:29 PM

#

Unsure, probably.

#

Also I think it would have been better if Sinatraa turned 18 right when SFS played NYXL.

#

He got saved by two weeks.

#

Literally two weeks.

magic zinc Mar 12, 2018, 7:29 PM

#

I have rarely ever seen someone got dominated so hard as SBB dominated Sinatraa

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:30 PM

#

It wasn't right.

#

I wanted to call Child Protective Services.

#

That kid got abused.

#

Though don't forget Saebyolbe cheated.

But it was tooootally because of the Harmony Orb, right? zaryalol

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:31 PM

#

By playing an annoying style. And getting a harmony orb.

magic zinc Mar 12, 2018, 7:31 PM

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:33 PM

To be fair SBB did have the better teammates by far

molten skiff Mar 12, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

want to see Kruise in OWL

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

SBB is also just by far a better tracer in terms of game sense/thought.

limber pine Mar 12, 2018, 7:33 PM

remember when harmony orb didn't have a time-out

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:33 PM

SBB is known as the anti-tracer

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:34 PM

SBB is a monster with Kpop hair and his wifes picture, pretending he's innocent.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:34 PM

well him and soon

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:34 PM

#

Not fooling anyone you murderer.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:34 PM

you know I read an interesting statistic

tight vault Mar 12, 2018, 7:34 PM

#

lets sue

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:34 PM

#

did you know soon's most killed hero is tracer?

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:34 PM

#

Imo: Soon has to focus on Tracers more due to a weaker tank line not creating the space needed for dps/supports.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:35 PM

#

Soon's focus is

#

killing enemy tracer

#

I can't really say if SBB is a better tracer than soon

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:35 PM

#

Also when you have Jjonak you don't have to worry about a lot of Tracers.

#

Jjonak gets mad if you take away ult charge.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:35 PM

#

because his supports are far better than anyone in the league

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:35 PM

#

As he murders your dps.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:35 PM

#

maybe seoul

#

have better supports

#

but that's it

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:35 PM

#

I would say Jjonak + Ark is better than RHJ+Tobi right now.

#

But not by a large maging.

#

....

#

Words. Are. Hard.

#

Margin.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:36 PM

#

Tobi > Ark imo

#

on lucio at least

#

but jehong

#

his zen is bad

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:36 PM

#

His Zen is better than most, but not up to par with Jjo or Bdo.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:36 PM

#

Eh

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:36 PM

#

JJo and Bdosin are on a very different level from most Zenyattas.

#

And Bdosin is so quiet about it.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:36 PM

#

I'd say Jehong is like

#

5th best in league

#

never really been impressed by his zen

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:37 PM

#

Jjonak, Bdosin, Arguably Biggoose now with Fissure.

#

I'd put him 4th.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:37 PM

#

doesn't biggoose main lucio

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:37 PM

#

Whichever purple boi plays Zen then.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:38 PM

#

Shaz

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:38 PM

#

I confuse him and Shaz constantly for some reason.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:38 PM

#

who is actually

#

one of the better players in the league

#

his zen is statistically one of the best

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:38 PM

#

Most of Glad are really good players, they just needed a tank to give them the space to perform.

#

Asher pre and post Fissure is like an entirely different player.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:38 PM

You can't do shit as tracer if you don't have a frontline

against owl players, if you push the enemy as tracer you die in ~1 second

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:39 PM

#

Watching Asher basically harass London with no retribution was insane.

magic zinc Mar 12, 2018, 7:39 PM

#

"Releasing" being thrown around that like doesn't sound very good tbh

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:39 PM

#

It's Slasher.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:40 PM

#

NOO

#

DON'T SELL COCCO

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:40 PM

#

Cocco is interesting either way, because his style doesn't fit the current meta.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:40 PM

#

I watched cocco's stream last night

#

his rein was top tier

#

and he is a very charming person to watch

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:40 PM

#

It's hard to adjust to an aggro meta if you're normally a more passive player.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:41 PM

#

Cocco's shotcalling

#

looks better than xqc's

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:41 PM

#

It does, but his pace isn't great.

#

Look at Houston, they have great shotcalling but because they play this passive style against the Dive they lose the pace of the game.

#

And get stomped.

#

It worked fine in Stage 1.

#

But we're not in Stage 1 anymore.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:41 PM

#

Houston's dps lineup is whack

tight vault Mar 12, 2018, 7:42 PM

#

afrog

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:42 PM

#

I like clockwork but you can't just swap him in when you "think" you need a tracer then be stuck with it for the whole game

#

the other tracers play other heroes

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:42 PM

#

They're in a weird transition.

#

Because I fully believe the team can't play to full potential without Jake on both shot calling/strategy.

#

Which means you get stuck with his Tier 3 Tracer when you need a T1.

#

And it'll get there eventually, but that's time they don't have.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

They need a tank that can shotcall tbh

#

that way you can sub jake out comfortably

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

Muma can, I think they just rely on Jakes Gamesense.

#

He's probably one of the smartest players in the league.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:44 PM

#

I haven't been seeing it

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:44 PM

#

Mechanically pretty weak.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:44 PM

#

Maybe in the world cup

#

and stage 1

#

but recently he's been looking pretty clueless

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:44 PM

#

Well prior to Florida teams realized that breaking up Muma + Coolmatt broke up Houston.

#

And I think they're trying to fix that first.

#

Houston is crazy reliant on the synergy between those two.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:44 PM

#

KILL COOLMATT

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:44 PM

#

And teams were just focusing down Muma because it works.

#

Mechanically Muma is probably the best player on Houston

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:45 PM

#

what game did the kill coolmatt meme come from anyways

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:45 PM

#

One of the Dallas ones, iirc.

#

I think Effect was yelling it

magic zinc Mar 12, 2018, 7:45 PM

#

Yeah it was Effect

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:46 PM

#

Lmao

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:46 PM

#

Because Coolmatt basically moved into Effects room for the duration of that game.

That's about it.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

Fuel vs Uprising is also a pretty fair game

NYXL vs. Seoul on Wednesday, Houston vs. LAG on Thursday, Valiant vs. Boston on Friday, and Seoul vs. London on Saturday.

Is no one else excited for Fuel vs. Uprising? GWgoaSadness

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:48 PM

I think if Boston wins against Dallas they'll have a good shot against LAV.

#

Because they need the confidence boost.

shy wind Mar 12, 2018, 7:48 PM

I think Boston can probably run through fuel zaryalol

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:48 PM

Honestly watching Fuel is just a mess, so I'm not really excited for their games.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:49 PM

Okay so

with xqc gone

#

the only tank player they have is cocco and potentially taimou right?

#

the OGE guy isn't here yet?

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

Cocco, Taimou for Main tank.

magic zinc Mar 12, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

Sounds about right yep

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

Mickie/Seagull for Offtank.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

So

#

I guess we're going to see taimou winston

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:49 PM

Since they've been scrimming Seagull on OT for two weeks now.

magic zinc Mar 12, 2018, 7:49 PM

Is there an eta on OGE? I assume Stage 3

If he doesn't have his visa stuff, yeah probably stage 3.

They need to do something about Mickie.

it's very possible

whole mulch Mar 12, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

Btw

#

I've played a lot with the ana from Selfless, and he isn't on par with any of the old selfless players

#

I feel like they could have gone further with better supports

#

he only recently became consistently GM level

Or you know, kept dafran happy

whole mulch Mar 12, 2018, 7:56 PM

Ah yeah

I'd imagine sinatraa and dafran blamed him a lot

Emongg Sinatraa and Dafran were pretty top tier

who was their main tank again?

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 7:56 PM

And apparently

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:59 PM

Dhak is kind of forgettable despite being the biggest guy on the team.

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 7:59 PM

He's this weird like.. mid-quality support.

He's not bad, but he's not great. So you just kind of forget he's there.

whole mulch Mar 12, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

dhaK is a DPS lucio

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

Eh I liked his agro lucio

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

The problem is now he's in a sea of better aggro lucios, in my book at least.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

Yeah ofc

#

Aggro Lucio is the best way to farm ult

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:00 PM

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 8:02 PM

Btw I do not like how contenders is being done atm. I feel like the league orgs should get them when. They finished the season

whole mulch Mar 12, 2018, 8:02 PM

#

Well

#

League is allowed to sign anyone

#

whenever

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

I think the dislike comes from the fact they're not even being coy about it.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

Yeah but like what's the point of contenders other than a player farm for the teams

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

If OWL had nothing to do with Contenders it'd still be the same way.

#

But OWL is investing in contenders for its player pool.

whole mulch Mar 12, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

That's the way blizzard intended

#

in their "Path to Pro"

tight vault Mar 12, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

lets sign timthetatman

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

What I mean is though it gets bad publicity because they're upfront about it.

#

They could have ignored contenders and still just signed people during their own signing periods.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 8:04 PM

#

As what off tank road hog specialist zaryalol

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:04 PM

#

And it'd be the same end result.

#

I don't inherently disagree, but this is how the minors system in pretty much every sport works.

#

You can get called up from the Minors in baseball to literally play one game.

If only you could still play a widowmaker.

Dallas needs a sniper.

whole mulch Mar 12, 2018, 8:08 PM

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:08 PM

#

Yeah its just doesn't go well when your Sniper is your Tracer.

#

AKM tried. Kind of.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 8:09 PM

#

How good is akm sniper

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:09 PM

Uh.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 8:09 PM

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:09 PM

#

Akm's widow is meh

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 8:09 PM

#

Actually has rascal played widow before?

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:09 PM

#

Rascals was better than AKM's.

whole mulch Mar 12, 2018, 8:09 PM

#

Rascal can widow

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:09 PM

#

But thats not saying much.

balmy wolf Mar 12, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

Well since they are back to having 5tanks and there is a dps slot...

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

Philly, NYXL, and Seoul probably have the overall best widow lineups.

#

Not overall best widows, but in terms of most people who can play it a high level.

#

Eqo and Carpe being almost interchangeable was an interesting development for Philly.

#

I had -no- idea that Eqo's Tracer was that good.

whole mulch Mar 12, 2018, 8:12 PM

#

Eqo plays pretty much everything

#

it's why they run him

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:12 PM

#

Yeah it was more the level.

whole mulch Mar 12, 2018, 8:12 PM

#

he can widow too

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:12 PM

#

His Widow was competitive to Fleta, which was fun to watch.

#

Genji and Tracer are different enough you don't get a LOT of people who play them both at that high a level.

whole mulch Mar 12, 2018, 8:13 PM

#

Usually people specialize in one or the other

#

but not both

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:13 PM

#

But vs very highly skilled players you need as highly skilled dps as you can even if with 3 hero pool

whole mulch Mar 12, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

genji is for projectile players, tracer is hitscan

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

Eqo plays more heroes but nothing like SDB

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

Eh SDB really -only- plays the Genji better than Eqo.

whole mulch Mar 12, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

I'm a bit confused why SDB doesn't get more playtime

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

Pace.

#

I'm not even joking.

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

There are super flexible dps like Fleta but they have to be top tier at several

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

SDB is too patient a Genji, his play style isn't of a fast pace.

molten skiff Mar 12, 2018, 8:15 PM

#

is eqo better than SDB when it comes to pharah?

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:15 PM

#

You pair Carpe and Eqo you get a really aggressive front line.

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:15 PM

#

@pearl stratus pharah too

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:15 PM

#

That can set the pace of the game if they're allowed to.

#

Eqo and SDB have very similar Pharahs.

#

It's not drastically different.

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:15 PM

#

But super aggressive genji is good vs less coordinated teams but not vs defensive teams and highly coordinated teams

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:15 PM

#

SDB is probably the best genji in the league, but his play style and Eqo's playstyle are very much night and day.

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:16 PM

#

When I watch SDB I see very very smart plays

#

Of course mechanics too but he is a genius

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:16 PM

#

Right now in Stage 2 the current meta, regardless of comp, is to be aggressive and set the game to your current pace and have the enemy team trying to adjust to you.

#

Which is why I think we're seeing more Eqo than SDB.

#

When they play a team that doesn't have that aggro style, they slot in SDB.

#

So he can mechanically dismantle a defense.

#

And then they play London.

#

And London just destroys them.

#

Poor guys.

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

My point is SDB playstyle is more calculated and safe which is important vs top level teams

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

It is and isn't.

#

It really is about game pace.

#

Because some teams dont' give SDB the window he wants for his blade.

#

So he holds it for 18 years, sends it to college, goes to its graduation and helps it move into Grad school

#

Before he uses it.

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:19 PM

#

Dive is always and was always about aggression and about countering it

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:19 PM

#

London and Houston would be the type of team I'd run Shadowburn against.

#

Dallas and LAV too.

#

Everyone else, Eqo right now.

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:20 PM

#

I’d run SDB especially vs Seoul NYXL and Houston since they seem to counter dive the best

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:21 PM

#

NYXL has the highest rate in the league of winning teamfights when they're behind.

#

And with how fast Jjonak charges Trans I wouldn't want any blades held.

#

I'd want them shoved out as soon as possible.

#

Otherwise your Genji will never get a good blade.

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

But I believe that if SDB practices some more heroes he can be top tier on many heroes

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

Because you'll assume Jjonak has a transc EVERY time you go to ult.

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

Because his game sense and positioning is insane

#

His decision making

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

Yeah, but changing your style from passive to aggressive while staying alive is really hard.

#

I actually prefer them having two distinct Genji styles.

#

It keeps teams guessing.

#

I'd even consider running Eqo+Shadowburn one game.

#

Especially since Eqo's Tracer isn't bad.

molten skiff Mar 12, 2018, 8:23 PM

#

but why

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:24 PM

#

Because your comp could literally change its pace mid game on the Genji if you wanted to.

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:24 PM

#

I actually think SDB is much better than EQO outside of blade and EQO is just effective with frequent use of blades so I’d count on SDB when enemy charges trans fast

molten skiff Mar 12, 2018, 8:24 PM

#

how many comps nowadays dont work with tracer

tight vault Mar 12, 2018, 8:24 PM

shy wind Mar 12, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

I feel like in stage 3 if sombra does come out alot

#

it can really hurt seoul

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

I actually don't think she'll come out a lot at all.

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

You know what I thought can be good? New buffed sombra with a genji
She just flanks and jacks zen and tells on mic so genji knows to ult

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

So far in contenders any team that's run a lot of Sombra

#

Has lost.

shy wind Mar 12, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

yeah but that's contenders

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:26 PM

#

Even without contenders, I feel her biggest use was in the EMP.

#

And that's been pretty much destroyed with the health pack change.

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:26 PM

#

@shy wind maybe but I hope they have someone else practicing sombra other than Fleta

#

They could run Fleta+wekeed anyway

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

Also there's already Blizzard rumors of them nerfing hack so it doesn't feel like Hook 1.0

#

So we'll see if she's even the same come Stage 3.

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

@pearl stratus Yes but Seoul is known to pull out hard strats that require insane communication

#

And protect him lol

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:38 PM

#

Actually.

#

Only one of the coaches wanted AKM.

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:40 PM

#

Why are they all playing around him?? I think he is good at mccree too which is better to play around..
And they were getting rekt by SoOn from valiants he sooo carried his team

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:40 PM

#

Because its how EnvyUS trained to play before becoming Dallas Fuel.

#

They were 5 units supporting a DPS.

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:40 PM

#

Just put AKM on mccree... or put taimou on mccree he might not be best but taimou is still pretty good in mccree

pearl stratus Mar 12, 2018, 8:40 PM

#

Blame Hastr0.

#

He wanted AKM that badly.

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 8:41 PM

#

It was so irritating to watch

#

Imo biggest problem with Dallas is coaching

#

It’s like they are being told to meme and throw matches

#

They players individually are ALL good. Even taimou ppl say he isn’t good enough as dps.. he is still better than many other dps players on the weaker teams

hybrid helm Mar 12, 2018, 9:38 PM

Random question: what are the advantages of seeing owl in person at the arena when you can just stay home and farm tokens?

keen warren Mar 12, 2018, 11:33 PM

#

Cool environment, possibility to get signatures for RL swag and jerseys. You'll be on the stream if you got a funny sign or Cosplay, and like It's just awesome to be in an arena watching an Esport

Like, 10 years ago, people would still be laughing at us bout watching "Vidya Games" on tv, now we got multi million dollar tournaments and Players are now considered famous

I heard about xQc's release and decided to check out his stream. First thing I see is him on the floor, chugging a gallon of water, with rotten food strewn all around him and donations constantly popping up on the screen. I think the Fuel made a good choice.

He was, way back in the days, an off tank. So we'll see if he can recover any of it.

to a point

but I think clockwork would be better if he had play time

https://i.redd.it/oer82t81egl01.png

balmy wolf Mar 13, 2018, 7:24 AM

well stats are pretty against clockwork since he only play 2cp this xstage

silk linden Mar 13, 2018, 7:24 AM

#

You might still be right, but I'm just spitballing here

#

Also I don't see why only playing 2cp would skewer his stats so much

balmy wolf Mar 13, 2018, 7:25 AM

#

this is just me looking back at him being a god in tf2 that is well known for scout

silk linden Mar 13, 2018, 7:25 AM

#

It's not like those maps are particularly unfavorable to tracer

balmy wolf Mar 13, 2018, 7:26 AM

#

its not that its just I think tracer would be better being measured in koth

silk linden Mar 13, 2018, 7:26 AM

#

Sure I would love for CW to succeed too, I loved his scout play, but I'm just looking at facts here

balmy wolf Mar 13, 2018, 7:27 AM

#

and overall if he only plays for one map, and if they lose the map chances are he will have worse stats

#

but I still think that he is mid or upper mid tier

silk linden Mar 13, 2018, 7:27 AM

#

Anyway yeah if we only looked at Tracer stats for every tracer main only for 2cp then he maybe wouldn't be dead last, but still

#

It's more about the fact that Jake is second to last as well

#

And this is a problem for Houston

balmy wolf Mar 13, 2018, 7:28 AM

hopefully their secret weapon mendo will show up since he was also known as a tracer player

SBB / Birdring are clearly better

fresh arrow Mar 13, 2018, 10:58 AM

#

jake is a decent tracer but not OWL level

red anvil Mar 13, 2018, 11:08 AM

#

He's sorta been forced on to it, due to clockwork not preforming - and mendo is probably not preforming in scrims either

silk linden Mar 13, 2018, 11:09 AM

#

I feel like he's forced into it by him being a team leader as the same time as tracer being a must for every team

#

That's why I wondered if linkzr could play her

red anvil Mar 13, 2018, 11:09 AM

#

Thing is, Linkzr is too good not to play flex

silk linden Mar 13, 2018, 11:10 AM

#

Who knows, maybe he'd be just as impactful on tracer

#

After all it's the alternative to having a god flex + a tracer that feeds

#

Might as well have a solid flex + a solid tracer

red anvil Mar 13, 2018, 11:12 AM

#

From what i've seen on his tracer its not much better then Jakes

#

He would need a lot more practice on it

silk linden Mar 13, 2018, 11:12 AM

#

All right

#

Do you think Houston would be against picking up Korean players? They're one of the few teams without one

red anvil Mar 13, 2018, 11:16 AM

#

its hard to say really, on one side you got korean talent like Nenne and Stitch, where as Stitch Flame tried to pick up before
On the other hand you still have Davin which could be close to as impactful, and you already have a connection and synergy with linkzr and no need for a translator

#

So if they were to pick up a good tracer player, which i'm not actually not sure it will happen, i would go with Davin rather then koreans

the bright side is now that xqc is free, he can meme all he wants

within twitch rules at least

#

which is a lot more lenient than OWL rules

#

he'll be more happy because of it

They might pick Koreans

why is shanghai at the bottom one may ask?

they have 0 koreans

I’m excited for Seoul vs NYXL (Seoul fan)

seoul is out for blood

#

they better not half-ass it this time

wasn't the score 3-1 last time

nvm it was 3-2

this time it'll be 4-0 ez clap

hybrid helm Mar 13, 2018, 7:30 PM

Yea no more mercy meta to carry teams like Houston

Yea they better go full main roster

no i meant nyxl 4-0 seoul

florida is gon 4-0 nyxl

hybrid helm Mar 13, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

NYXL look about the same as stage 1

indigo barn Mar 13, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

the only team that could take down nyxl is florida buddy

#

or maybe shanghai

hybrid helm Mar 13, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

And weak Seoul of stage 1 gave them a hard match

#

Looool haha

indigo barn Mar 13, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

so if they lose a game, they are "weak seoul"

#

if they win a game, they are "strong seoul"

#

ok

hybrid helm Mar 13, 2018, 7:34 PM

#

No

#

Stage 1 = weak Seoul

#

Stage 2 at least after first week = strong Seoul

indigo barn Mar 13, 2018, 7:35 PM

#

they look strong because they only went up against the bottom half teams in standings

tight vault Mar 13, 2018, 7:35 PM

#

the only team shanghai can win against is dallas

indigo barn Mar 13, 2018, 7:35 PM

#

now they go up against nyxl, london, houston, and FLORIDA and you will call them "weak seoul" again

#

Florida will wipe the freakin floor with seoul

oh fuck philly vs shanghai

indigo barn Mar 13, 2018, 7:36 PM

oh shit

hybrid helm Mar 13, 2018, 7:36 PM

Nope the way they play. They look strong without mercy meta

#

Philly is not a weak team

indigo barn Mar 13, 2018, 7:37 PM

#

philly is a highly inconsistent team

tight vault Mar 13, 2018, 7:37 PM

#

shanghai isn't either 😉

indigo barn Mar 13, 2018, 7:37 PM

#

even more inconsistent than valiant

#

valiant will win 3-0 vs seoul

#

but lose 0-4 to some blue and yellow bois??

hybrid helm Mar 13, 2018, 7:38 PM

#

Valiants won Seoul in mercy meta

#

It looked like Seoul were just waiting for mercy nerf maybe practicing non-mercy comps

indigo barn Mar 13, 2018, 7:38 PM

#

and then they 4-0 valiant in non-mercy meta, i get it

#

nyxl still crushes seoul tomorrow
