[rustic perch]

yea but.. in such a competitive area you can't just "pick your friends to play with"

[whole mulch]

That's why they fired the coach

Company paid 20 million to get into owl

and the coach just picks friends

[rustic perch]

i just hope their new additions will pull them into a better spot

they wont suddenly become #1, but at least away from the last place

[whole mulch]

Well

they might have communication problems

either everyone needs to learn english, or the koreans need to learn chinese

[rustic perch]

if not, "monkey monkey monkey" is the way to go

[whole mulch]

lol

Well during OWL there is a lot of strategic talk about team comps, where they will go, who they will focus, etc.

but that isn't showed

they only show what's happening after engages

[humble moth]

:trihard: 7

[brisk roost]

100th!!

[whole mulch]

one of the owl players said it might be to hide strategic talk or something

[slim summit]

this guy's jokes are so terrible that i'm starting to like them

[humble moth]

no way, malik is always gonna suck

[dusk garden]

i wont be able to watch glads-outlaws tonight ;-;

[whole mulch]

Noo

It'll be a good game

[rustic perch]

yea true, but if they have communication problems they have to stick with "easy" calls until it's fixed

[dusk garden]

unless

i undersleep

sleep or owl

[molten skiff]

geguri?

[silk linden]

When Flow3r blossoms Pine might as well be cut down

[tawny sigil]

to everyone putting a sign "let BLANK do ACTION"... 99% of you are not funny/interesting

[dusk garden]

ass crack DansGame

[molten skiff]

[balmy wolf]

I don't see anyone like that here Lioran

[molten skiff]

pine actually might be in the game?

[tawny sigil]

[dusk garden]

#SaveTheTrees

[tight vault]

0-23 incoming 😛

[balmy wolf]

We are all getting old

[tight vault]

[tawny sigil]

Someone make a sign "Give mercy a battle skin"

[silk linden]

I wonder how many signs about xQc they had to screen at the entrance

[tawny sigil]

there that's a good one

or "Give us a battle mercy skin"

[balmy wolf]

Give torbjorn wallrun

[silk linden]

Delete mercy

[tight vault]

give shanghai a win

[dusk garden]

let mccree ride orisa

[molten skiff]

LET SBB REST

[dusk garden]

let shanghai win

[balmy wolf]

I have a Shanghai McCree pls win

[rustic perch]

ark still looks so strange

[balmy wolf]

Although their skill matches my skill in comp

[ruby pendant]

lol

[slim summit]

Potential for an upset

[dusk garden]

if shanghai wins a map im going to buy the mcree skin for them

[ruby pendant]

get ready to buy!!!

[rustic perch]

that's not much

say "i'll buy every shanghai skin" and we have a deal

[dusk garden]

and ill change my discord name to Quesa-Diya

even though hes not playing

mccree right click

[tawny sigil]

maybe it was a miss click

[slim summit]

If Shanghai wins I'll move to China

[dusk garden]

If Shanghai 4-0s I'll delete system 32

[whole mulch]

[mortal walrus]

Is Pine playing today?

[dusk garden]

who fucking knows

[whole mulch]

Coaches said something's wrong with him

[rustic perch]

wow that was VERY dumb from MG

[brisk roost]

I really fucking hope so

[dusk garden]

#SaveTheTrees

[whole mulch]

but no one could understand what they said lol

[summer hill]

that libero escape

[whole mulch]

This is depressing

[rustic perch]

[brisk roost]

Damn they wiped out the rest of the team

[mortal walrus]

damn

[brisk roost]

Yeah MG isn't playing well

[dusk garden]

rest in fried rice shanghai

[mortal walrus]

JJonak's zenyatta is insane

[dusk garden]

why are shanghai so bad tho? arent they top tier players?

[summer hill]

that C9 though

[dusk garden]

inst that why theyre in owl?

[mortal walrus]

They're low end, top tier players by the looks of it.

[rustic perch]

it wasn't a c9 lol

[brisk roost]

That was not a C9 lmao

Only MG made it

[slim summit]

Why didn't triple support work?

[rustic perch]

they wanted MG to touch the point, he got smashed before he was able to and nobody was in range to touch it instead

[brisk roost]

But died on the process

[dusk garden]

MG looks posessed holy shit

[mortal walrus]

I have a feeling Shanghai have sorta given up at this point

[humble moth]

that head support on the top is so big

[whole mulch]

They're a little lower than top tier rascalle

[dusk garden]

why isnt undead on mccree tho

[mortal walrus]

What are they doing

[dusk garden]

jack shit

[summer hill]

now that's a C9

[mortal walrus]

What the fuck Shanghai

[brisk roost]

Bro that was so easy

[mortal walrus]

They didn't even try lmao

[tight vault]

shanghai's given up

[mortal walrus]

Shanghai has definitely given up

[dusk garden]

well at least the match is gonna finish a little earlier amirite

[slim summit]

this is not a very sportsmanlike matchup

[whole mulch]

It's a team that shouldn't be in the league vs. the #1 team

[slim summit]

NYXL literally the best OW team in history?

[dusk garden]

are you sure about that

[summer hill]

technically with their current level, it might be smarter to give up and focus on teams they can actually beat instead of further demoralizing themselves

[slim summit]

@dusk garden smh

[dusk garden]

@slim summit smh

[whole mulch]

lol

what's going on

[tight vault]

@slim summit smh

[slim summit]

if you use my dog pfp i will sue you for copyright infringement

[spring lintel]

I hope they sub in pine

[brisk roost]

@dusk garden Lies

[rustic perch]

as much as i love seeing pine play, i hope they don't bring him out vs. shanghai

[spring lintel]

Like come on this game is easy for them, just put in pine for fun.

[dusk garden]

@slim summit lies

[whole mulch]

Apparently pine is not performing well

[fallow raven]

I find it weird that teams are so hesitant with using benched players

[spring lintel]

I mean dynasty played with their B team

[whole mulch]

and I guess they want to tryhard vs shanghai

[brisk roost]

@dusk garden Aw you fucker lmfao

[dusk garden]

ok im gonna get rid of the names before i get banned

idk if i can get banned for that

would rahter not take the risk tho

[rustic perch]

[spring lintel]

What names?

[rustic perch]

those names

[dusk garden]

these names

[spring lintel]

This discord isnt controlled by blizzard so you have freedom

[humble moth]

good hopefully we dont get these two during the houston game

[spring lintel]

You won’t get banned

[slim summit]

nobody moderates this channel so

[spring lintel]

One of the mods told me to call them on mod mail if i want u banned

[slim summit]

unless someone snitches you can do anything

[dusk garden]

are you sure about that

ok

[spring lintel]

And it made me so tilted

[humble moth]

snitches get stitches

[brisk roost]

True

[spring lintel]

So if u guys all want my name it’s fine

I am not saying anything to mod mail

I want them to come here on their on and fix it

Jewvia tilted the shit out of me that day

[rustic perch]

who wants to take the name of one of the admins/mods?

[spring lintel]

She was here and I told her look at this guy he took my name and she told me whatever talk to mod mail

[dusk garden]

you do

do it

[slim summit]

is Shanghai actually throwing

[rustic perch]

i don't know what you mean

[spring lintel]

So it’s not against the rules if I don’t talk to mod mail

[dusk garden]

ModMail BOT

ok

[rustic perch]

[dusk garden]

[spring lintel]

Free feel on dps? Wtf

[rustic perch]

he was on dps last match as well

[spring lintel]

I just joined

[paper crag]

so i saw that SHD just took the point, turned on discord to comment on that, and SHD lost the point before the channel loaded up

[spring lintel]

Modmail is talking

Creepy

But you don’t have the tag

[rustic perch]

because some teams just going to give up an objective to get better positioning because they know "if we do that we'll have the objective back in 5 seconds anyways, if we stay we might lose"

[spring lintel]

They literally had the point for only 6 seconds OMEGALUL

[rustic perch]

i have the tag, it's just not visible

[dusk garden]

omg shanghai so good

that was just a test with my headphones

i was typing by hitting my kjeyboard with my headphones

yes

im dumb

[paper crag]

this match should have been set so that SHD wins if they take 1 map

[dusk garden]

yes

[paper crag]

even then it's probably unlikely that they would have won

[dusk garden]

rawhide

[slim summit]

2 hp

[paper crag]

i think the fact that SHD surpassed nyxl's percentage at one point of the game should count as their victory

go home nyxl, you lost

[spring lintel]

10 billion ults

[dusk garden]

k

[paper crag]

wow SBB is not getting punished at all

[dusk garden]

what do you expect

its shanghai

shanghai

[paper crag]

idk if he's just good at evading or if SHD is literally not shooting at him as much

for whatever reason

[median saddle]

both

[brisk roost]

Wow so one sided smh

But GG

[paper crag]

lol 2 maps in 30 minutes

[rustic perch]

there are matches i enjoy watching even if they are kinda one-sided

[brisk roost]

this isnt one of those

[median saddle]

the fact that they won't win a single game is even more sad

[paper crag]

Dallas vs Fuel. I don't see what you're trying to say

it's the quintessential OWL rivalry

[dusk garden]

😂
/|👊

[keen warren]

nV vs OptiC

[paper crag]

your guy's hand is on the wrong side bro

is he okay?

why is his thumb outside

[slim summit]

If Fuel didn't self destruct, it would have been very possible for Mayhem to lose every match this stage also

Luckily, we have a new meme team

[brisk roost]

😂

[rustic perch]

like i just realized something. there are actually people in twitch chat that are writing "serious" texts, like.. do they expect ANYONE to see their text in this emote spam called "twitch chat"?

[dusk garden]

WhO DiD tHiS

[paper crag]

i just wish twitch chat would stop the whole "lul LONDON" type meme

[rustic perch]

[slim summit]

London will win Stage 2

and people will still hate

[paper crag]

houston is probably the only team made up of mostly US citizens

[slim summit]

but if they hate then let em hate and watch the money pile up

[paper crag]

and they're probably not even from houston

mayhem has no americans

[fading wasp]

So are SHD fucking NYXL or what?

[whole mulch]

I don't think any are from Houston

[paper crag]

exactly

[whole mulch]

Nah SHD losing hard

[paper crag]

but they just go "lul london" or "lul ny" because they're asian

[dusk garden]

oh

i thought shd was winning

[paper crag]

and they'd say the same even if all of nyxl players were korean americans from nyc

[fading wasp]

They're winning in my heart, me. They're winning in my heart.

[paper crag]

you can kinda tell by the fact that you practically never see "lul florida"

despite them being pretty much a scandinavian team with a couple koreans

and a german

just a pet peeve of mine

[whole mulch]

Let's go shanghai

reverse sweep!

I am the better farfarfo by the way.

[dusk garden]

@fading wasp Lol okie

akm is a good soldier and pharah genji/tracer is not his style

there are cafes that screen OWL in NYC?

[ornate sigil]

The mayhem lads all seem like nice people yeah

[whole mulch]

Mayhem is so positive, even though they lose pretty much every game

they come in with a new dance every day

[paper crag]

@whole mulch you don't know Luigino and his 5 Deadly Venoms Cafe? It's a landmark that I just learned about

[fading wasp]

@R8 Promethean#1784 One of the actors died partway through filming so they had the replacement walk around with a cloak over his arm held up over his face like a shitty Dracula for the rest of the movie.

[paper crag]

it's a NYC staple

[whole mulch]

I know of the 5 deadly venoms

they're some NYXL fanboy group

[paper crag]

lol i didn't even know what they were

[fading wasp]

I googled it, it's a gaming cafe

I guess I will go meet them

nyxl always puts those sprays on the same spots. it must be a cheat code

filthy cheaters

[ornate sigil]

Are the NYXL happy about their wins vs Shanghai or are they :/ like Philly yesterday

[paper crag]

they're prob gonna be disappointed if they win 3-1

lol

[fading wasp]

I doubt they have much of a sense of accomplishment

[paper crag]

and be like "what.... went wrong..? are we falling off?"

[whole mulch]

Hm

I'm going to see if I can go to that cafe tomorrow

looks nice

If you win against Shanghai 4-0, it's mean, but if you lose even a map, you're terrible

Poor lads

[paper crag]

if SHD takes a map, they win

[ornate sigil]

Pretty much

[paper crag]

SHD should have started with 2 points to start out with

[fading wasp]

did

did he just miss the shotgun

[paper crag]

but they're generous gods and allowed nyxl a chance to play from an equal footing

[mortal walrus]

They took a point o:

[median saddle]

wow they took a point

[ruby pendant]

nice

[ornate sigil]

That's good!

[dusk garden]

wai

t

does that mean the game is gonna last longer

shit

[mortal walrus]

depends

[paper crag]

i was hoping for a sub-1 hr match

not counting the down time

[dusk garden]

same

i want to watch glad-outlaws

its late af tho

[paper crag]

huge shatter

[mortal walrus]

lol

[paper crag]

do games start early if previous matches end early though?

[spring lintel]

The reaction time is insane

[paper crag]

or do they just start at scheduled times

[fading wasp]

I didn't know SBB could make this game look easier

But I guess he can

[paper crag]

sbb needs to go reaper

[fading wasp]

Sym

[paper crag]

tru

brigitte

[ornate sigil]

Poor sym

[fading wasp]

That'd be a dick move but I'd love it

[ornate sigil]

Worse winrate than Shanghai

[paper crag]

sbb should go dva, throw the meka on purpose and stay as baby dva

[rustic perch]

who came in for altering btw?

[fading wasp]

Imagine they debut Brigitte in the full game on OWL a couple days earlier?

[paper crag]

and proceed to carry the game

[fading wasp]

Or a new hero entirely?

It wouldn't happen but it'd be great

[mortal walrus]

I guess it's good Pine didn't play today

they literally WOULDNT stand a chance.

[paper crag]

how hilarious would it be if blizz literally just released a new hero out of the blue

before brigitte hits the live server

jet pack cat is alive!

[fading wasp]

Again, just in an OWL game. Like, not even telling the casters. Confuse the fuck out of everyone.

[wet oyster]

yeah what if they just threw all their concepts up on ptr for fun

[rustic perch]

who came in for altering btw?

[wet oyster]

nobody

[fading wasp]

Ooh someone's using a G503. I don't see pros use those too much.

[solar trout]

libero the only one not laughing/smiling

[paper crag]

isn't it still called g502?

[whole mulch]

G502 is the older version

[paper crag]

and yeah i was pretty surprised to see it too

[whole mulch]

Tank players use it

[reef imp]

...where'd the game audio go for a second there

[fading wasp]

SBB is Roadhog, JJoNak is Moira, Libero is Junkrat. What is this

[whole mulch]

usually dps use light mice

[paper crag]

Logitech Proteus Spectrum is still numbered G502

[fading wasp]

You're right

I mistyped

[mortal walrus]

What would be a good keyboard for gaming?

[fading wasp]

I love me my mechanical keyboards

But pretty much anything will work

[paper crag]

eh, anything should be fine as long as it's reliable and you're used to it

[whole mulch]

What game are you going to use it for Yuki

[paper crag]

i prefer cherry mx red switches

[fading wasp]

I have MX Browns

[mortal walrus]

Overwatch, PUBG, Fortnite atm

[whole mulch]

Mm

http://on-winning.com/overwatch-pro-sensitivity-settings-setups-monitor-mouse-keyboard-headset/

Check out the keyboards the pros are using

[paper crag]

i think tactile switches like brown and blue are better suited for RTS/MOBA

while linears like reds are better suited for FPS

[mortal walrus]

What keys are the quietest?

[paper crag]

but really, it's all personal preference

linear switches are the quietest

red, black, gateron clears

not MX clears

[fading wasp]

Reds with o-rings

[paper crag]

reds with o-rings feel like you're typing on turd though

[fading wasp]

Or blacks

[wet oyster]

not really an esports discussion here

[humble moth]

theyre still loud as fuck

[fading wasp]

But who uses black

[humble moth]

dont get a stupid mechanical keyboard

[wet oyster]

i use blues they're loud

[paper crag]

right. get a smart one

don't get a stupid one

makes you 12% better at games

[mortal walrus]

ive currently got a Drevo keyboard which is good but the keys are going on them

[fading wasp]

I use browns. They're clacky even without any click from the keyswitches. I like it a lot more than any membrane though. A lot less squishy feeling.

I wouldn't go back to membrane.

[ruby pendant]

mg is decent

[paper crag]

btw don't get into buying aftermarket keycaps

don't be like me

[spring lintel]

Why do they spectate a winston?

[fading wasp]

I don't use aftermarket keycaps. I use the stock ones.

[humble moth]

I can just print custom ones if I had a keyboard

[fading wasp]

Oh my god SBB is going entirely uncontested

[paper crag]

IS SHD DOING IT

[rustic perch]

can we talk about shanghai pulling out a very good defense instead of that?

[median saddle]

no

[mortal walrus]

Shanghai are actually holding o:

I aspire to be a fifth of the man JJoNak is.

[whole mulch]

KILL JJONAK

[paper crag]

SHD just needs one map to win the whole series

did you guys forget?

[fading wasp]

OWL should adapt a mercy rule

Like in little league

[paper crag]

if SHD gets a 3-map win on a series, they just win the season

[fading wasp]

"If you're getting fucked hard enough, we're cutting you off"

[fading wasp]

MODMAIL IS TYPING EVERYONE RUN

[paper crag]

peen pineapple apple peen?

[rustic perch]

HELLO

[molten skiff]

malik said he got some announcement

[whole mulch]

ModMail is typing?

[solar trout]

lol

[fading wasp]

I've seen UB3RB0T typing on other servers

[whole mulch]

Why do they bully malik

[fading wasp]

Like, the actual bot. Not someone impersonating it.

[rustic perch]

who's impersonating what

[humble moth]

cause hes a trihard

[fading wasp]

Who was the guy who filled in for part of the season? He brought some personality to the desk.

[whole mulch]

Goldenboy?

[slim summit]

wow cold

[fading wasp]

Maybe. He was the black dude who people brought signs of. He did that weird "dive" swim goggles bit.

[slim summit]

"Pine isn't good enough, that's why"

"Only you idiots call him big boss unironically"

[ornate sigil]

Yeah that's goldenboy

[fading wasp]

I liked him

[uncut moon]

50k+ a year to sit out all the games

not bad

[slim summit]

Staying on the bench is a career killer though

no opportunity for advancement if you don't pop off

[tawny sigil]

well he's still doing scrim everyday non stop

[rustic perch]

iddqd remembers

[paper crag]

sitting out at all of the games = maybe not getting that 50k+ next year

[slim summit]

Who's iddqd?

[humble moth]

second string NYX is still better than 90% of the other players

[slim summit]

haHAA

[fading wasp]

50k isn't actually a huge amount for NYC.

There's a high cost of living out here.

[paper crag]

probably isn't

[rustic perch]

some people call him the manbench

[slim summit]

I'm pretty sure the teams pay for housing

[humble moth]

and no one on NYX lives in NYC

[paper crag]

but they probably also get more than 50k

[uncut moon]

its probably more than 50k, some players are on 150k

[humble moth]

they live in korea, where 50k is a lot

[dusk garden]

carpe is rumored to earn 220k a year

[fading wasp]

I'd assume they live out here during the tournament and such at the very least

[paper crag]

50k isn't a lot for top tier pro gamers in korea, and all OWL players live in LA right now

[uncut moon]

yes but

[whole mulch]

Carpe makes 200 something per year

[uncut moon]

they get player housing

they dont have to pay for their own accomodation

the organisation

pays for them

[whole mulch]

yeah their housing is covered

[fading wasp]

I didn't know how all this worked

[whole mulch]

xQc is about to be evicted

his apartment is still paid for by dallas fuel

[dusk garden]

not sure about that

[humble moth]

this is so boring

[rustic perch]

you guys want to start an owl team

[dusk garden]

he could be paying for it now

[brisk roost]

Haha Mano XD!

[whole mulch]

He was just talking about it on his stream

that he was about to be evicted

and it's a lease in fuel's name

[fading wasp]

Yeah let's start an OWL team. I'll be the shitty flex who somehow starts every game.

[wet oyster]

i'll be the symmetra one-trick

[ornate sigil]

Our skins need to be pink

[dusk garden]

ill be the god ana

[paper crag]

ooh ooh can i be the coach who makes questionable team comps

[fading wasp]

Hot pink

[uncut moon]

MG as genji?

[ornate sigil]

We'd stand out beautifully

[humble moth]

nyx is throwing

[paper crag]

can i be the guy who starts every match with the shitty flex every game

[fading wasp]

Actually, I'll be the DPS who really, really, really shouldn't be playing DPS.

[whole mulch]

Can I be the hanzo

[ornate sigil]

Hot Pink, cyan, and white skins

Pure vaporwave

[paper crag]

a e s t h e t i c

[dusk garden]

oh wait nvm can i be the top 500 mercy

[molten skiff]

now that was c9

[uncut moon]

zoning blade

[brisk roost]

NY is throwin lol

[uncut moon]

LOL

[paper crag]

you can be top 500 torb if you'd like

[slim summit]

when you solo ult Ana

with 3 team mates there

[summer hill]

very interesting blade

[humble moth]

yeah theyre throwing for sure

[fading wasp]

If you keep your DPI below 10k and sens below 20 your contract is immediately terminated.

[rustic perch]

"sending a message" yea yea okay but where are the nudes

[tawny sigil]

are they stupid

[humble moth]

yes

[tawny sigil]

he instant ulted as soon as she came out of hide to avoid instant death

[ornate sigil]

Tracer what

[ruby pendant]

lol ark

[dusk garden]

i think sbb plays at 10k dpi

[fading wasp]

Nice flick

[paper crag]

does nyxl not know that SHD wins this series if they win this map

[humble moth]

this is lame

just rekt them, get it over with

[brisk roost]

NY is throwing bro lmfao

[humble moth]

i know its retarded

[whole mulch]

SBB is on like 500 DPI

[median saddle]

wait new york is throwing

[uncut moon]

wtf is this game, nothing like how they played against dynasty

[paper crag]

if they're gonna throw though, i'd prefer that they played outright meme comps

[wet oyster]

well what sens @whole mulch

[fading wasp]

I'd love to see a meme comp where they legit try to win

[paper crag]

yeah

[ruby pendant]

doubt it, the maps counts

[tawny sigil]

better than jake

[rustic perch]

i don't think they throw honestly, they're still playing for map wins in the end

[whole mulch]

Nvm SBB is on 810 DPI 7.93 sens (what a weird DPI)

[wet oyster]

that'd just be disrespectful

[whole mulch]

he changed it

recently

[paper crag]

i just realized MG is a tracer

[slim summit]

it's disrespectful I think

to play with your food before you eat it

[solar trout]

maybe SHD have just been tryharding. Having no fun and being sweaty tryhards and losing because of their attitude

[ornate sigil]

NYXL is way in the lead map wise though, right?

[whole mulch]

yes

[paper crag]

backcap pls

[solar trout]

It would make sense

[dusk garden]

undead has to change his name

he isnt undead anymore

hes dead

[wet oyster]

dead

[paper crag]

how many maps is nyxl ahead by?

[wet oyster]

37

[dusk garden]

35

[ruby pendant]

mg is a good tracer

[whole mulch]

SHD won a map against Seoul's B team on a map where triple tank is strong

[paper crag]

wth

[wet oyster]

41 now

[dusk garden]

about to be 39

[whole mulch]

vsing NYXL's A team is different

[paper crag]

41 more map wins than second place?

[wet oyster]

NYXL only has 1 team

no

than average it hink

[paper crag]

oh just 41

oh okay

[whole mulch]

They have 1 team and 2 benched players

their roster is small

[paper crag]

how big is the gap between nyxl and second place though

[dusk garden]

i think its still like 25 above second place

not sure

[paper crag]

oh wow

[dusk garden]

im not sure

[paper crag]

dashing through the snow

[rustic perch]

NYXL is at +40 now

[paper crag]

SHD backcap pls

[rustic perch]

seoul +22 after

london +23 3rd (due to wins/losses)

[wet oyster]

going to be +41 in a sec

[brisk roost]

ROSHAN WOW

[paper crag]

when is this blade gonna be used

[wet oyster]

never

[paper crag]

as i say that i guess lol

[wet oyster]

they dont need it

nyxl should've all unbound their ult key and seen who won

[paper crag]

EAT THE GRAV

[wet oyster]

that'd be fun

[paper crag]

IT WAS EATEN

I AM A PROPHET

[wet oyster]

roshan STILL not close to an earthshatter

now he's close

but too late

[brisk roost]

Wow

[paper crag]

they pushed far enough to still have a good chance at winning

if they weren't SHD

and against nyxl

[fading wasp]

I think it'd be cool to have a copy of the VOD with the comms mixed in. That'd be interesting to listen to.

With an English-speaking team of course

[rustic perch]

NYXL is at +40 currently, SHD at -56

[spring lintel]

LAAWWWWL

[paper crag]

i want korean team comms

excuse me

[spring lintel]

That grav

Was so bad even if it connects

[dusk garden]

china numba 12

[spring lintel]

CHI-NA aim

[uncut moon]

china bad

[paper crag]

would be hilarious if a taiwanese team signed onto OWL somehow

and was numbah 1

[rustic perch]

or a german team

no german players

[paper crag]

mickie is thai

not taiwanese

[dusk garden]

wait

im dumb

[humble moth]

yes

[spring lintel]

If you are good you will be picked,pretty simple.

[uncut moon]

imagine if you owned SHD

you paid

[paper crag]

it's okay. we don't discriminate based on the length of the school bus

[dusk garden]

give us a fucking canadian team

[uncut moon]

20 million

[spring lintel]

Maybe esport isnt a think in Germany or some places

[uncut moon]

to put the worst team in the league

[humble moth]

even the worst team makes money

[vestal berry]

does xushu even play this game?

[slim summit]

it's about to be not the worst team in the league and the only team with a girl

[fading wasp]

Good shit SBB

[slim summit]

that's not bad

[humble moth]

he plays paladins, its the same right?

[ornate sigil]

I heard the announcers yesterday saying the SHD are getting like a team psychologist

[dusk garden]

give us a fucking canadian team

[paper crag]

canadian team with 6 lucios with hockey skin imcoming

[dusk garden]

yes

that would be amazing

thank you

[rustic perch]

denied

[fading wasp]

Does D.Va eat pulse bombs?

[paper crag]

shd's hero distribution is interesting

[vestal berry]

xushu doesnt even try to peel

[ornate sigil]

Yeah

[humble moth]

Canadian team, korean players. Just like the rest

[paper crag]

so mg plays off tank and tracer

[rustic perch]

dva eats every projectile

[fading wasp]

Hm

Nice

[paper crag]

freefeel plays healer but also plays soldier sometimes

[rustic perch]

dva even eats junkrat's balls

[paper crag]

etc

[ornate sigil]

Does she eat snowball? I can't remember

[paper crag]

yes

[fading wasp]

Imagine they accidentally make it so D.Va eats D.Va bombs

[dusk garden]

i would love that

[paper crag]

imagine if dva ate zen's harmony/discord orbs

[dusk garden]

make it a thing

that too

[humble moth]

eats transcendence

[vestal berry]

we all die alone anyways

[fading wasp]

She doesn't? They are projectiles.

[vestal berry]

FeelsBadMan

[fading wasp]

They just move stupid fast

[rustic perch]

imagine if dva can eat another dva's defense matrix

[paper crag]

she doesn't though

[ornate sigil]

Give Mei a voiceline screaming Snowball's name if D.Va eats it

[dusk garden]

imagine she is able to eat a genji

[paper crag]

she also doesn't eat soldier's healing can

[fading wasp]

That'd be cool

The voiceline

[paper crag]

i think it used to

[dusk garden]

she right clicks someone and it dies

[fading wasp]

C9

[brisk roost]

GG

[ornate sigil]

"soldier's healing can"

[brisk roost]

Wasn't a C9 at all lol

[ornate sigil]

Idk I just thought that was funny

[paper crag]

apparently genji could reflect biotic field and make it his

[summer hill]

yes nothing is a c9

[vestal berry]

0 peel

[uncut moon]

you see how

[fading wasp]

He didn't even contest

[dusk garden]

</4

[uncut moon]

nyxl

are not even celebrating

[warped axle]

Not a C9

[uncut moon]

like they did yesterday

with their win against dynasty

[paper crag]

"were you all dead and unable to contest the objective? LUL C9"

[fading wasp]

touche

[paper crag]

"winston pushed you off the objective? LUL C9"

[fading wasp]

I was only half watching. Saw a Winston fighting and then "DEFEAT" and jumped to conclusions.

[paper crag]

"you were trying your best to get to the objective but didn't get to it in time? LUL C9"

[reef imp]

The Dragons just... can't win. It feels like they're just cursed at this point.

[fading wasp]

Bro I get it

[summer hill]

yes surely

[paper crag]

"you won a huge fight but lost because you forgot about the objective? FREE XQC"

[humble moth]

"Mei used Ice Wall to block the path. C9"

[summer hill]

surely C9 when they actually C9ed, had completely lost their minds and forgot about everything

[rustic perch]

everything is a c9

[summer hill]

that's a true c9 amirite

[fading wasp]

I've seen a good few people with a "free xqc" battletag. Why would someone pay $10 for that shit?

[paper crag]

i think the strict C9 is where a team wins a clutch fight that would have won the the game, but didn't cap the point and chased so they lose

[humble moth]

^

[vestal berry]

how often has doomfist been played (not including when he is switched to get to a losing teamfight quicker)

[paper crag]

the looser C9 is just not paying attention to the objective

[rustic perch]

i just hope this c9 meme dies at some point

[fading wasp]

That's a pretty good definition. I just know it as "fighting while you should've been constesting and losing the point"

[humble moth]

do you get it yet farfarfo

[ornate sigil]

What do you guys think's gonna happen for the all-star weekend thing after the championships

[vestal berry]

c9 no longer means cloud 9

[whole mulch]

Korea vs. Korea

[ornate sigil]

I'm personally hoping for mystery heroes

[paper crag]

dude Cloud 9 is a cursed team

[humble moth]

c9 is london right?

[rustic perch]

london is Cloud9 KongDoo, yea

[paper crag]

every major esport, a C9 team pulls a clowny play and lose a winning match

[humble moth]

wtf is kongdoo

[paper crag]

like in dota 2

KongDoo is an entertainment label in Korea

[rustic perch]

KongDoo Panthera/Uncia, korean teams

[paper crag]

mainly employs professional gamers and other esports personalities

[humble moth]

cool im american so idk that

[paper crag]

also sponsors esports teams

[humble moth]

*waves flag

[paper crag]

it was jointly founded by one of the most popular and influential Korean pro gamer from the Brood War scene

[fading wasp]

I still find it surprising that MLG has a television channel, for some reason. I probably shouldn't, but I find it kinda odd.

[ornate sigil]

The blue Earthshatter looks really cool

[paper crag]

Yellow, whose nickname was Kong

which is where the "kong" in kongdoo comes from

[humble moth]

donkey

[fading wasp]

I'm not used to seeing all this stuff in any other colors than red and not red

[paper crag]

it actually means beans in korean

[humble moth]

you might know him as Donkey Kong

or King kong

[vestal berry]

worst player on shanghai?

[rustic perch]

everyone except undead

[paper crag]

sounds like freefeel from what i've read here

[humble moth]

jake if hes playing tracer

[solar trout]

lol imawolf

[vestal berry]

jake isnt a bad tracer, he just isnt good

[solar trout]

pls no more tracer jake

[fading wasp]

Who's playing next?

[paper crag]

mayhem valiant

[rustic perch]

florida valiant

[paper crag]

i think

[fading wasp]

Never seen the Valiant play before, I don't think.

[paper crag]

i'm so triggered by the fact that florida is a state

[solar trout]

play roadhog if you don't wanna junkrat

[paper crag]

not a city

[fading wasp]

that

I hadn't even seen that

[solar trout]

farfarfo soon is a tracer god

[fading wasp]

I'll look out for it

[solar trout]

he shows up in my nightmares

[ornate sigil]

If you hear booing it's just everyone chanting "sooooooon"

[brisk roost]

Miami Mayhem would've been pretty good

[fading wasp]

Say-bye-ohl-bee

[solar trout]

ikr

[brisk roost]

Still wondering why they chose a state

[solar trout]

[fading wasp]

Even Jacksonville Mayhem

[ornate sigil]

Orlando Mayhem

Disney World Mayhem

[vestal berry]

Disneyland Mayhem

[dusk garden]

2 deaths per map

holy shit

[humble moth]

Tallahassee Mayhem

[fading wasp]

I hadn't been 100% on whether the New York is the city or the state though. "Excelsior" is a state thing, but most teams are city based.

[ornate sigil]

Disneyland's in Cali tho

[paper crag]

oh is it disney world in FL?

[humble moth]

disneylandworld

[brisk roost]

Disney World is in Florida

[paper crag]

i always get those two mixed up

[brisk roost]

Disney Land is Cali

[ornate sigil]

Disneyland is the OG, then they built world

Oh I forgot about the treehouse adventure

[fading wasp]

Do the casters get played in the arena? I'd think it would give away ults and stuff if it did.

[solar trout]

he lost a bet and is spending a week in Philly fusion's treehouse

[fading wasp]

You can't just say that and not say what the bet was

[solar trout]

I don't think it has been publicly stated

[fading wasp]

hm

[dusk garden]

banned

[solar trout]

NYXL now has a +98 map differential over SHD. :X

[humble moth]

20 minutes till next game

[paper crag]

so i just realized

nyxl definitely won more games than shd won maps

[humble moth]

thats amazing!

[paper crag]

they won exactly twice as many matches as shd won maps

lol

[solar trout]

LA GLadiators tho... 16 games, 8 wins, 8 losses, 33 map wins, 33 map losses, 0 ties, 0 map differential

Its just perfect

the whole 4 stages, 5 weeks per stage thing is kind of tiring me out though

[fading wasp]

It's so strange

[molten skiff]

fissure timmmmmmmeeeeeee

@paper crag idk man

it's a lot less exhausting than following bsaeball

[warped axle]

Wait it's pronounced Re enforce?

Not Rein Force

That's so lame

[paper crag]

i don't follow any traditional sport so it might very well be just me

not being used to this kind of league format

[wide basin]

The signs are on point today

[paper crag]

i'm more used to round robin for a week-double elimination tournament setup of dota events

[molten skiff]

i see

40 game season is pretty easy for me

[warped axle]

I'm used to Smash format

[paper crag]

it's probably also tiring for me because i try to watch all games

[warped axle]

RR pools into double elimination bracket

[paper crag]

instead of just following my teams

[molten skiff]

baseball is 162 games so

[paper crag]

lol eliminated by boimk

boink

if only a certain other team would be that transparent

who says low-key

[warped axle]

I hear people talk about Babybay and I'm like

@molten skiff I do lol

What about my man from France

When there's a hot girl there I say lowkey

I haven't heard anyone say it

[ornate sigil]

Who are the best-looking OWL players lmao

[fading wasp]

[brisk roost]

I can't tell if the crowd is booing lol

[warped axle]

Pine

[paper crag]

inb4 someone says sbb

[warped axle]

Pine is best looking

Best player

[ornate sigil]

No they're "sooooooon"-ing

[warped axle]

Best everything

[molten skiff]

lol i thought gladiators were playing

[fading wasp]

Pine is basically a god

[solar trout]

Seagull best looking player

seagull and taimou

[brisk roost]

Glads plays last game

[paper crag]

i personally think the whole "soooooooon" thing is kinda dumb

whenever esports fans see someone with a name that can sound like booing, they do it and think they're clever

but it's really not
