jagged crater
hidden osprey
most popular streamers have brand deals with the likes ASUS ROG, Razer and so on
warped axle
Barcode for OWL
hidden osprey
he said he doesn't want to "sell out"
jagged crater
i appreciate that
indigo barn
me too
hidden osprey
dunno how genuine he is it about that though
indigo barn
yeah maybe publicity stunt
jagged crater
he seems pretty genuine about it
i dont see him as a greedy guy
compared to other streamers ive watched
hidden osprey
yeah, I remember he was giving a story about how he was paid to play something on stream
and how much he hated it because he felt like he wasn't himself
shy wind
Only thing I see wrong with having streaming as your only pure career choice is things can go wrong pretty easily.
hidden osprey
also you can't take long breaks
for the one week he didn't stream he lost around 1000 subs
that's a lot
hybrid helm
Yea tbh I used to hate xQc a lot until the first drama with Muma and then with TriHard 7 now for some reason I sympathize him more.
warped axle
Well you can but it hurts
shy wind
I just see him as immature tbh. But that's just me.
jagged crater
he is immature
hidden osprey
he's also lacking in basic life skills too
jagged crater
no question about it
hidden osprey
I dunno if any of you watched his cleaning stream yesterday
but that is not a healthy way to live man
hybrid helm
It doesn’t matter no streaming career is permanent and secure job for life they know that .
Same with professional gaming
jagged crater
even admitted on twitter that he has issues interacting with people physically
warped axle
The fact that he can't keep his mouth shut is what makes me think he's immature
shy wind
I mean atleast professional gaming can allow you to branch out
It's happened in league of legends esports since the beginning
jagged crater
streaming you can last way longer if you can build a viewerbase that wants to watch you play other games
hybrid helm
He is immature but he is pretty intelligent. Still immature and a douche tho
jagged crater
right now xqc , most people watch him meming in OW
hidden osprey
he loses a lot of viewers when he plays something else
jagged crater
yea
warped axle
I assume xQc fans are like DrDisrespect fans
shy wind
Worse.
warped axle
Damn
jagged crater
xqc fans are like 10 year olds prob
hybrid helm
Nah another game would gain popularity and he could transfer a part of his viewers to other game stream
hybrid helm
Or he would study and get a job who knows lol
hidden osprey
highly unlikely
warped axle
I think all streamers should go to trade school before starting their careers
hidden osprey
I'm more of a fan of his rein play
jagged crater
his rein and orisa are fun too
shy wind
I can't see xqc playing another game that can compare to ow in terms of playstyle
jagged crater
when i first followed xqc on twitch was around triple tank era, i wanted to watch a good rein player
and learn from him
cocco and xqc unironically
turn out to be teammates later, then benched 😦
hidden osprey
dunno if anyone saw his rein play on KR yesterday but it was amazing
shy wind
forever benched
wet oyster
why is cocco even still on the team, he's totally outdated?
warped axle
Joe :(
shy wind
Like, XQC is a good player and all, it just sucks he's actually just so immature lmao.
wet oyster
yeah
jagged crater
joemeister was the first player in LA for philly too, he was in there for a week before any teammates arrived
hybrid helm
Rumors say that Taimou and cocco are getting released next
jagged crater
and he hasnt gotten a single game in 😦
shy wind
and like for the Trihard 7 situation, I can't sympathize because why would you even mess with an emote known for racist use in the community. Even he knew it
But w.e that's all over now
hybrid helm
It’s stupid to associate it with racism. I know the history of hearthstone
warped axle
I wonder if Trihex has heard anything about the TriHard 7 situation
shy wind
I mean we know the emote itself is not racist cause we use twitch more than once a year.
wet oyster
do you think like Jake or something would be banned for that? I doubt it
hybrid helm
But what is racist? Using an emote of a black man? Or banning the use of black emotes?
wet oyster
the 2nd one
jagged crater
using an emote in context
scarlet spear
@warped axle he has, xQc DM'd him on twitter about it
warped axle
Uh oh
hybrid helm
I’m not white and I wouldn’t feel offended by such spam. Pointing out my skin color? Ok it’s a fact have fun I’m happy with myself the way I am
But when ppl spammed KKK in hearthstone and racist things THATS different
Sending death threats etc
warped axle
I assume anyone who sends death threats is mentally not there
shy wind
I mean people sent death threats to soe
for thanking men on womens day
so anythings possible
🤷🏼
warped axle
Soe is a treasure, how could anyone do that?
echo vault
they wanted to bury her..
warped axle
Is that why he went to Australia?
shy wind
could be part of the reason besides just a break
indigo barn
dallas fuel vs nyxl game of the season right there
yo does anyone know where i can check the current STAGE 2 standings?
warped axle
I use the app
indigo barn
its kinda bs that i cant find it on the actual site
jagged crater
sending death threats what are they 12 years old lmao
indigo barn
I"M GONNA KILL U WITH MY PLASTIC TOY KITCHEN KNIFE
ah ok so the app shows the stage standings tyvm
warped axle
Yeah
warped axle
It also notifies when teams you follow are playing
After week 2 Dallas and Houston were both 2-2 with a differential of 0
Was interesting lol
indigo barn
still kinda mad that houston didn't take a single map off valiant lol
warped axle
I don't think Valiant are even that amazing or revolutionary, just that Outlaws really need a good Tracer.
Jake is not cutting it
shy wind
Like Jake is a good player but they really need a good tracer player specifically on that roster
warped axle
Jake is a projectile wizard
indigo barn
which they dont have the best they could sign was clockwork
indigo barn
and when you're playing aginst korean teams who have tracer gods
rip
heck seoul has 2 tracer mains for different scenarios
warped axle
Clockwork was great in TF2 comp but OW ehhhh
wet oyster
they still have mendo right?
indigo barn
yeah but what does he play
wet oyster
flex
indigo barn
sweet
warped axle
OWL app has the full upcoming matches
warped axle
Wed March 21
Oh man Fusion vs Gladiators that day too
That will be an amazing match
wet oyster
> 
indigo barn
fusion was the only team that nyxl lost to in stage 1
glacial sleet
so
wet oyster
except spitfire
glacial sleet
do you guys believe "taimou" really lost his aim
wet oyster
yeah
glacial sleet
wet oyster
i se eit
indigo barn
100% pure skill
glacial sleet
yea but think about it
torpid charm
I'm low-key late but Philly is hella inconsistent and as a Philly fan, it hurts
wet oyster
same raven
glacial sleet
he used aimbot to get where he is
indigo barn
almost as inconsistent as la valiant
wet oyster
no he didnt
magic zinc
Thats a 2 year old clip lmao
wet oyster
dont make false claims that you cant prove
glacial sleet
and now that he has to play with secure pcs and equiptment he somehow forgets how to aim
indigo barn
hmmmmm
wet oyster
he was in apex.....
indigo barn
🤔
wet oyster
apex is lan
warped axle
London overrated
glacial sleet
You can put hacks on the mouse
warped axle
They're a step below the other Korean teams
torpid charm
it'll be a miracle if Philly ends up beating both LA teams next week. I'm hoping for all wins this week and next week, but Glad has stepped it up so I can hate
wet oyster
taimou is legit, you have no basis for your claim
indigo barn
below other korean teams but 4-0's seoul and beats nyxl's ass twice okay
glacial sleet
I mean, I think his aim is still good even without hacks
but when he has to clutch I bet he had a toggle of some sort
wet oyster
you have no basis for that, he's not a hacker, there are refs @ apex too
they would see that
warped axle
I really want to beat 
wet oyster
sayme
torpid charm
me too
glacial sleet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YM-317lzpO8 here's someone exposing aimbotcalvin
torpid charm
next two weeks, I want nothing but wins.
glacial sleet
watch the video lmk what you think about it
torpid charm
as much as I love Shanghai, Philly can't go into map 5 with them again because that shit was horrible
glacial sleet
surely you can't say the taimou video wasn't aimbot
I mean come on it's blantant as hell
warped axle
Based on what Xqc did to Florida I'd say they don't have much to worry about with the Dragons
wet oyster
xqc is gone
warped axle
Inb4 I'm dead wrong
torpid charm
well, Philly also went into map 5 with Florida during stage 1, came back and rolled then during stage 2. they just can't keep switching on and off the switch
faint phoenix
I want London to get a really good coach
with that I feel most of the problems they are having now will start to fade
Their players are just as good as the casters say they are after all
pls C9 treat my ppls well ;-;
warped axle
I watched Jayne's analysis if London vs LAG, and it seems like London just needs to adapt to the situation faster and realize when their hero pool needs to be changed
silk linden
I haven't see the videos salt is linking, but let me go ahead and assume it's people forgettting that client side recording always made gameplay look snappy and aimbotty, especially in the early days of overwatch
wet oyster
that and it's like soldier ults and him calling it aimbotting
also it has no taimou clips, so idk how that exposes taimou
torpid charm
since Shock signed a new support I hope that means we don't see much of Dhak anymore
glacial sleet
it only has aimbotcalvin clips
silk linden
lol xQc's stream name
wet oyster
he's getting older
wet oyster
he could have carpal tunnel
glacial sleet
he could have
wet oyster
there are a lot of things that could cause you to lose your aim
indigo barn
taimou is sex
glacial sleet
taimoue
indigo barn
sigh
wet oyster
but there's refs in Apex they would definetely see aimbotting
indigo barn
oh sht taimou has super good aim
glacial sleet
idk but he seems sketchy
torpid charm
taimou
indigo barn
rip his aimbot the security at OWL is just too high
glacial sleet
also there were hackusations on kephrii too
wet oyster
hate him cuz they ain't him
wet oyster
ok he is but everyone that gets accused of hacking
glacial sleet
I personally don't think kephrii uses hacks
indigo barn
symmetra main gets banned for using aimbot hax story of the week
glacial sleet
he got darkened names which are only given to players who use pixel locking cheats
wet oyster
he has a mouse cam... he's not hacking
indigo barn
pre-records some nice mouse action
limber pine
uh huh
wet oyster
people would realize that it didnt lin eup
wet oyster
not trying to
old video but still nutty and it has mouse cam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNTwq7X_c88
glacial sleet
yes
I don't think anybody who is smart enough would toggle on their aimbot on stream
wet oyster
well my point is that he can still aim well
magic zinc
Lol idk about that
magic zinc
I'll never forget that Korean guy that was literally showing off his hacks on stream and got banned like 2 minutes later
glacial sleet
who was it? lol
magic zinc
Just an unknown player tbh
glacial sleet
Have you seen greguris aim? insane
wet oyster
you think she's hacking too?
warped axle
SADO 
glacial sleet
it's just insane how she can aim so well with high sens
warped axle
Her sensitivity is insanely high
magic zinc
Yeah goddamn
warped axle
She has a tiny mousepad
Can't wait to see her party with Shanghai
Hmm party instead of play
I guess that works too
glacial sleet
hope they win for once
wet oyster
we all do
glacial sleet
they need to beat dallas fuel to establish dominance
silk linden
if their first win comes with Geguri on the team I will guarantee their will be articles written about it from news outlets for general audiences
"teaching the boys how it's done" or some shit
slim summit
That's all but guaranteed to happen at this point
indigo barn
gravitons win team fights bro
slim summit
They'd need to really pull off a miracle to beat the teams left in this stage
warped axle
She's a Zarya god
tight vault
so why is she so popular :P
glacial sleet
https://clips.twitch.tv/SullenObliqueBurritoHumbleLife she's an amazing zarya
indigo barn
zunba got competition
torpid charm
I can't wait to finally see Sado play
magic zinc
"Geguri proves why OWL needs more women" as soon as Shanghai wins a map
Exactly what she didnt want rippp
glacial sleet
lmao
spring lintel
@glacial sleet you can easily lose your aim
glacial sleet
im done with that convo
torpid charm
indigo barn
shanghai getting their first win when geguri joins just proves that shanghai needs another tank main
echo vault
I think it'll be proof that different things happen under different conditions
paper crag
Geguri is extremely good at zarya dva and hog
Late to the convo but she lands pretty much every hook she throws
And she throws them often
echo vault
51.9% hook acc in comp
torpid charm
I don't feel like Geguri will be the thing that carries them to winning but she will definitely help and make an impact
glacial sleet
are there any girl dps mains or tank main in top 500 atm?
I only know of grenguri and barcode atm wondering if there are more
torpid charm
I wish I was a tank main in the top 500
tight vault
lul
tight vault
isn't he banned doe
balmy wolf
it was nice knowing shock. mention me the moment xQc gets his ass in trouble again (which will happen the moment he signs the paper)
glacial sleet
what was he banned for again?
glacial sleet
all I know is that he no longer plays for dallas fuel
didn't know he got banned again
deft valley
he got suspended, and DF basically cut him
it was "mutual agreement" but that's PR talk for "we told him to fuck off"
glacial sleet
lmao
balmy wolf
this can be applied to the shock (if they, for some insane reason, hire him)
balmy wolf
nah he would just get suspended somehow again.
maybe not right away but you know.
after one or two games
glacial sleet
he needs to get his shit togethor
balmy wolf
he needs to keep his steaming personality in check
or realize that being a steamer is better than a OWL pro
you can say whatever shit you want
wet oyster
that message was 200% a jebait
deft valley
is there an actual team in contenders named bye week
echo vault
yeah
deft valley
because fucking bravo
tight vault
theres also a team called last nights leftovers so yeah
echo vault
there was a team that just renamed themselves
and it may have been bye week but their previous name was really good too
tight vault
were number one because were the only ones
little gale
Why does contenders looks so simplistic and slow compared to OWL?
glacial sleet
zombs on dva?
warped axle
Lower production value
whole mulch
Zombs has been practicing tank a lot
Idk if he is on a tank role now or what
he even raised his sens recently
glacial sleet
match is over

One of the good things trihard drama brought
spring lintel
Is that people use it as a greeting a lot more than racism

timthetatman is a good stream. He's the best player I know.

I heard that there are like 80+ teams
glacial sleet

Dude i would love it if streamers played in open division
molten skiff
80+ is open division isnt it
molten skiff
how many regions are there
spring lintel
I dunno
molten skiff
EU, NA, Korea, China
spring lintel
Like 5 or somethin
Australia
And SA i think
Cause I saw BGH
Australia is a joke though
Masters lul

Watched it and i was like wtf, these guys play like masters.

Rob420 qualified from opens i think

gina doesn't seem interested in this game

Ah

Nah Pine is fine where he is tbh

Pine is just keeping the seat warm for Fl0w3r innithe?
indigo barn
pretty much
balmy wolf
Is Shadowburn the best player? I say yes
limber pine
the best player in terms of...what?
balmy wolf
hes probably the best genji...
limber pine
this is an interesting torbjorn strat
acoustic mauve
And they don't even have Jerry Jones to blame
brisk roost
Best Genji is SDB for sure
brisk roost
Isn't SDB Russian tho?
torpid charm
ya
brisk roost
So more like Eastern
warped axle
East = Asia
brisk roost
And Russia is right on the top of Asia
torpid charm
that is true
torpid charm
so then what is Russia
brisk roost
People also refer Russians as Eastern Europeans
warped axle
West
warped axle
...and Europe
brisk roost
...no
torpid charm
but if Russia isn't in the west... then how is it west
brisk roost
If you view the whole map flat, The Americas - West, Europe and Africa - Center, and Russia, Asia and Oceanea - East
brisk roost
Boston wipes Fuel
Dunno about NYXL and Seoul tho
That seems interesting
@torpid charm Btw your fav team Philly and Shanghai are going against each other xD!
torpid charm
I KNOW
I love Shanghai but Philly needs to roll the fuck outta them, can't be no map 5 type shit or they're just drawlin. either a 4-0 or 3-1 is fine
brisk roost
Lol
Inb4 reverse sweep or almost reverse sweep
I'm scared for my bois on Thursday
Considering how well Glads did on their last two matches Houston could have a very hard time
torpid charm
Philly plays Dallas on Saturday, needs to be a repeat of stage 1 with a clean sweep
gaunt acorn
i think even shanghai could beat dallas with a clean sweep now
echo vault
could Dallas pretend to have visa problems and sit out stage 3 like in preseason
plush elbow
why did XQC get kicked?
whole mulch
Kept getting banned
lots of trash talk
Apparently their new tank will get banned too
balmy wolf
I do not think that trash talk is bad, its that his way of doing trash talk was bad
I also think that this was his way of getting away from dying his hair blue
sullen berry
@gaunt acorn lucky for dallas they fought first game when akm skill in the league was inherently unknown
scarlet spear
richard lewis new stream highlight about the xQc situation is really worth the 35 minute watch imo
he explains the situations really good
balmy wolf
AKM's skill is still good, they just dont have the right strat
scarlet spear
hes been pretty underwhelming on everything but pharah and Soldier imo
his widow / mcCree seemed pretty meh
soldier and pharah have been top tier tho
balmy wolf
as I said they dont have the right strats for him
silk linden
Dallas don't have the right strats for anything
vague urchin
Do you guys think that xQc resigning will affect the Dallas Fuel?
balmy wolf
I think he means like cancer and cunt being used in the term of bad.
Cancer is also a term people throw around normally these days
Same with cunt in some countries
vague urchin
i don't think you should be able to call them "cancer" or "cunt"
slim summit
He was using the logic that it being OK to call people cancer in some countries somehow made it OK here
then used cunt as another example .... totally undermining his own argument
Regardless, the entire argument was predicated on the false premise of "derogatory language" meaning "bad words"
vague urchin
i wouldn't like to be called "cunt" or "cancer" just because i'm not a good broadcaster
slim summit
Deflecting again to "Blizzard can't handle the word cancer" instead of getting at the crux of the issue
fresh arrow
derogatory words are specifically those that are used with a negative meaning with the intent to insult
how derogatory a word is varies
sullen berry
not caught up on the exact recipient of the his comment
but if he meant casters as a whole and calling them cancer
then the scope of harassment is very different
slim summit
sullen berry
you can't really tell though
he might have been really frusted with casters beforehand
and what the casters were expressing can be a little aggravating
slim summit
Not sure what difference being aggravated makes
sullen berry
Trihard 7 is a good example
we don't often hear what's being pushed onto twitch chat
because it's twitch chat
if I backtrack to how malik gave a shoutout to the emote being used, I would have totally thought this was all in good fun - and perhaps it probably was
https://www.dexerto.com/news/overwatch-league-host-claims-use-twitch-emote-racist-comments-xqc/45890
Got criticized for calling the Twitch chat on the emote spam. I feel like my 1 time addressing this in 3 years ratio is pretty damn generous. And funny, I never accused anyone of anything. I just acknowledged that I see it. Guilt propelled the whole topic.
I don't see what you're getting at
silk linden
Malik is a solid dude
It's a bit fucked up that now xQc has "racist" written on his permanent record
sullen berry
that wasn't ever his intention
silk linden
Yeah
sullen berry
but as a result, it seemed so that the tables weren't going his way in the first place
silk linden
OWL acted a bit shadily on this
sullen berry
Taimou's fine, sure - I'll give that remark as an unprofessional OW player
but if it that trickles down, or so that's how it was timed
silk linden
Like, the fact that xQc is now labeled as racist is straight up slander
slim summit
they didn't say he was racist tho
sullen berry
nope, so it's not the league claiming that
he "used an offensive emote in a racially disparaging manner"
silk linden
That's the same thing
sullen berry
I mean, no that wasn't his reasoning for it?
silk linden
Yeah exactly
They gave him no chance to appeal it, and now he has that on his permanent record
He probably would have been suspended anyway, probably deservedly, but this is compromising for his future career
slim summit
He can't exactly be suspended for it without explaining why
moreover, I don't see how it's slander ... a person doesn't have to intend to be racist to participate in a racist activity with other racists
sullen berry
on the other side of the coin, they probably didn't want to put a really obvious value on racially charged comments or the social media remark (therefore being manipulated further as the unprofessional league player)
$4,000 could been 1k for one offense and $3k on the other
silk linden
One thing I agree with is Dallas dropping him. As Custa said, it's impossible to have a working relationship with someone who's getting suspended left and right. Sad for Dallas because they needed his skills, but it was unavoidable
What are we gonna do now though, who's gonna be our source of OWL drama 👀 🍿
fresh arrow
OGE apparently
or boston
hopefully outlaws
i am biased
but pls pls pls outlaws next

I mean Dallas is still a shitshow

it will be the ursurping of mickey and then it will be an all korean roster, support pending

What's the deal with Boston other than underperforming?

how so? Haven't heard much official news on shanghai lately

Anything popcorn worthy going on?

Uprising v Dallas monkaS

@sullen berry they dropped their shit coach for one

(5th person being Diya heh)
@silk linden I'm on the fence that it will be an obvious win

I hope Boston beats Dallas today

slim summit
They did last time
pearl stratus
Both teams are in a pretty big rut this stage.
warped axle
I want Mayhem to beat Valiant
pearl stratus
Though I could honestly see xQc's release making them play better from a mental point of view. Lots of questions/stress answered and less things to worry about on the back end.
warped axle
Mainly so Valiant won't be the best West team
pearl stratus
They're not, its mostly just stage 1 carrying over. LAG is probably the best right now.
vagrant jacinth
@Tenkei#3140 I agree, releasing xQc means they don''t have to worry about as many things
It's like xQc is a magnet for drama and dallas gets dragged into it through association
pearl stratus
If I was a Dallas Coach right now I'd potentially stop scrimming for the week, or cut it down a lot, and focus on team building stuff.
ruby pendant
Lol, they had a story of this on the Washington Post!

Rip Harry though :(

If Oge even plays

If the boosting allegations are true oge could easily be banned 30+ games
Makes you think about their recent statements about them looking for a main tank they can consistently play with

Sado would be a different ban from OGE, iirc.
Since Sado owned the boosting company.
Not that OGE wouldn't get suspended for a while too.
But I'm assuming it'd be less than Sado overall, maybe half the time.
blazing parrot
oge got kicked out of that boosting company for being too bad

they really really do
they have no good winston players
fragi's good at rein but sado was supposed to be their winston player

they probably would if they could afford to not have him

Sado's situation is also a little interesting because if he -hadn't- been picked up by Philly he would have been arrested and undergone trial if I'm not mistaken.
I know that when the law in Korea gets fully passed getting caught boosting can be punishable by up to 2 years in prison, and a fine of like 20k
torpid charm
that's why he wasn't getting picked up by any teams in Korea, because it's that bad of an offense over there so no one wanted him
pearl stratus
I wonder who on the fuel decided to pick him up.
Kyky hasn't had any say in their latest pick ups.
torpid charm
what are y'all predictions for today
there is too too too much going on with Fuel, it's wild
pearl stratus
I only really care about Seoul / NYXL. I think it'll be 3-2 NYXL though
Jonak and Ark are playing too well lately.
pearl stratus
I do too. But their support line is so strong, its hard for most teams to overcome and I don't think Seoul will be different.

Arhan aint suprising, its been debated for a while now within the community
silk linden
you know what, it's fair, at least it's not full korean rosters
I don't mind if good korean players join the legue, it can only be for the better
though having more than 1/4 of the teams be full korean would be too much
torpid charm
I feel like it was kinda bound to happen either way because they are such a dominant force in professional OW. but I can't hate

if it's not a huge difference then why do my Japanese co-workers complain 26 is too hot for the heater and change it to 24 or 25?
brisk roost
50 C = Toasted chicken

because a heater doesnt give out exactly 26 or 27 or 28?

Blizzard is very unfair with their fines and bans. Did they eventually fine the racist guy that did the atom bomb meme?
