esports-discussion

[paper crag]

it's super obvious and unimaginative

[ornate sigil]

I've heard it in other sports before lol

It's not just esports

[paper crag]

doesn't change my point though

actually reinforces that it's unimaginative 😛

[ornate sigil]

Meh, they're a crowd

[fading wasp]

Why am I surprised they have makeup artists

[ornate sigil]

I'm not too bothered

[paper crag]

of course they have makeup artists

[ornate sigil]

Any time someone's on a stage there's usually a makeup artist

[paper crag]

they're presenting people on a stage

[ornate sigil]

Makes em look better for the camera

[fading wasp]

Like, they'd obviously have them

But I never thought about it

[warped axle]

I'd be surprised if everyone in the league had no acne

Def makeup

[molten skiff]

hmm

[brisk roost]

They wear makeup anyways

[molten skiff]

they are predominantly white

lol

[paper crag]

oh agilities is on tonight huh

[warped axle]

Silkthread warming the bench again

[solar trout]

off-topic, but has iddqd(SFShock) played a single game in the overwatch league?

[paper crag]

didn't get benched by kariv dps lol

i think ive seen iddqd but i may be mistaken

[zinc schooner]

@solar trout preseason only I believe.

[solar trout]

sad

[paper crag]

i don't think mendo played a single round either

[warped axle]

No Joe

[ruby pendant]

nice

[zinc schooner]

And interview with Harsha today on OW League Daily had zero mention about IDDQD, but plenty about all the other roster. He's getting dropped or traded I feel.

[paper crag]

is iddqd mayhem?

[warped axle]

No SFS I think

[zinc schooner]

SF Shock

[paper crag]

ah okay

don't they already have a pretty good dps lineup

[zinc schooner]

true

[warped axle]

They have 6 DPS players

[paper crag]

is sinatraa really gonna be the god tracer that some people are trying to make him out to be

or do you guys think he's gonna be a disappointment

[whole mulch]

Eh

He's a good tracer but

[paper crag]

like, with all that hype, anything less than amazing will be a disappointment at this point

[warped axle]

Mayhem playing well rn

[whole mulch]

his team overall is not good enough to make it look like it

[zinc schooner]

Hmm I think he'll probably do well at first as opponents adjust to the new line up with he and Super.

[paper crag]

he could be a solid tracer but not single handedly win games, and people will call him overrated

[zinc schooner]

Then taper off unless he adapts with the lineup

[ruby pendant]

@paper crag Hard to tell, lots of people you may have never heard or seen before can be substantially better than him. He's decent. Gladiators', and Excelsior's tracer are among the best in my opinion.

[paper crag]

asher and sbb have always been known to be premier tracers though

i don't think they count as people "i may never have heard of"

[ruby pendant]

Good, good!

[paper crag]

i think architect is also joining a team

sayaplayer's also joining mayhem soon

tracers errrrywhere

[ruby pendant]

You want to nerf Tracer?

[zinc schooner]

Time for a Tracer nerf from papa Jeff!

[paper crag]

obviously i want a tracer buff so all the teams can use their tracer resources

screw poor teams that can't afford top tracers right?

[zinc schooner]

lol right!

(tracer does seem a bit over tuned at OWL levels tho)

[paper crag]

i suddenly want some lobster bisque

i feel like tracer is one of those heroes that can be op or trash with even the slightest tweak though

decrease dps? now she'll be even less likely to one clip someone so her squishy 150 hp will be focused down and erased in under a second

[zinc schooner]

Completely. I think that's why she's not been touched since release, as opposed to her being "balanced"

[paper crag]

increase cooldowns? still get erased

yeah

i feel like tracer just needs to be the standard around whom the game is balanced

not really touch her directly

[zinc schooner]

Yeah an her CD's are very temo oriented. Messing with then screws the whole rhythm of play.

[paper crag]

if you could be a god genji or a god tracer, which would you choose?

assume you'll have same impact on your games

[zinc schooner]

Go Sombra, lel.

[pastel phoenix]

Genji because tracer ult is hard

[ruby pendant]

They'll probably keep adding heroes to try to deal with her.

[paper crag]

genji ult is harder for me personally QQ

[ruby pendant]

Tracer is the symbol of Overwatch.

Wow, Mayhem has gotten much better.

[paper crag]

i'm starting to get the hang of it, but too often i just flail around and kill nobody

[pastel phoenix]

TRacer builds ult fast so I don't know

[whole mulch]

Tracer ult is pretty much Q and hope you get lucky

you can hit Q then blink into an enemy for a stick

[wide basin]

Here we go baby

[solar trout]

yosh

Well done florida

[zinc schooner]

🤔 If only there were some hero that could remove Tracer/Gengu abilities for 6 seconds that'd be cool, but probably "unfun"

[hidden osprey]

wow wut

[limber pine]

[paper crag]

something i've learned is that you don't have to literally throw as soon as you blink in

[hidden osprey]

come on McDonalds

[paper crag]

maybe it only applies to my trash tier

[zinc schooner]

Press Q then blink?

[paper crag]

but i can usually stay alive for a second or so after blinking in

[elfin ermine]

C9 omegalul

[paper crag]

which gives me a little time to approach my target better

[vast geode]

[paper crag]

although i suppose the ideal situation is getting complete comfort with blink range

[vast geode]

MAYHEM ACTIVATED

[paper crag]

so i can just blink next to them and Q

[zinc schooner]

Well Q will channel for a bit allowing you to blink in and stick; still takes some timing of course.

I have a G502 and once I moved Q to one of the "DPI" buttons next to L1 sticking pulse bombs got much easier.

[paper crag]

wait, people press Q and then blink?

i never knew that

i guess it's like melee then blink

[zinc schooner]

Yeah you def can.

yup a bit like melee, but a tad longer.

[paper crag]

do you know if blink is just moving really fast, mechanics wise, or actual relocation?

i'm under the impression that it's moving really fast while invulnerable, because i've seen people fall to their deaths after using E seconds after blinking across a gap

that the 3 seecond mark happened to be over the gap

[zinc schooner]

Hmm that's a really good question. I'm not sure how it is handled in teh movement code. Feels like movement as you can die during it (as opposed to recall).

[final river]

Fuel FeelsBadMan

[tawny sigil]

ZERO DEATH

[zinc schooner]

Lol Sombra better than Tracer is official, kappa. Fitzyhere one rank above SInatraa now.

[elfin ermine]

What rank is fitzy now?

[zinc schooner]

7

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DYXs3X0W0AIqyfr.jpg

[elfin ermine]

Oh wow nice

I watch him a lot but didn't know he climbed up so high

Youtube vid inc

[zinc schooner]

Me neither. He has such a chill no salt stream it's fun to watch, and he's a wicked smart player too. dem spawn camps on supports are brutal.

[elfin ermine]

Yeah he's very tactical and super nice I love watching him

[ruby pendant]

When will the 1st 5000 SR player come?

[zinc schooner]

I supppse we should expect that out of an old StarCraft player

[elfin ermine]

Wow just noticed rank 2 is a sombra player as well

[zinc schooner]

Technically it happened in like S3 or 4 due to a wrap around bug where the lowest SR got 5000 for a bit, lel.

[elfin ermine]

But sombra nerfs Incoming suposedly

[zinc schooner]

Oh good point, I didn't notice that #2!

[ruby pendant]

lol

[zinc schooner]

Yeah, she'll get the hack CD nerf. But should be ok for good Sombras. Will stop the "hold for hack" strat which is prob good, but booo. 😃

I mean, Mercy was OP for 5 months, right?

[solar trout]

Wow

that was crazy

[elfin ermine]

Tbh I wouldve preferred they rolled back the hack speed need even the tiniest of damage will interrupt

Dva sniping you

[grizzled kayak]

dude

mayhem is playing so well

[elfin ermine]

Ikr I'm loving it

[ruby pendant]

Would like to see what buff Doomfist would get.

[elfin ermine]

[grizzled kayak]

so great to see them playing this well

[ruby pendant]

Mayhem?

[grizzled kayak]

yeah

[final river]

Valiant 😢 they kicked ass stage 1

[ruby pendant]

They looking like Excelsior

[solar trout]

Kick LA's ass florida! :D

[grizzled kayak]

zuppeh cwoosh and tviq are popping off

[ruby pendant]

Logix is a big problem for Valiant

[grizzled kayak]

yeah logix too

[solar trout]

wtf logix

lol

[elfin ermine]

Omg logix pls calm it down

[solar trout]

normally you'd see logix back out there

[limber pine]

logix is having a fantastic stage 2

[solar trout]

He lost like his whole team

[grizzled kayak]

damn that barrage

[solar trout]

still went in and popped off

xD

[grizzled kayak]

i mean its logix

he can play really well sometimes

[visual glen]

Just tuned in, how is mayhem winning lol

[ruby pendant]

They are too good

[elfin ermine]

Yooooooo

MAYHEM OP

[solar trout]

mayhem :D

[elfin ermine]

BISH GET REKT

[grizzled kayak]

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE

[final river]

reverse sweep time

[ruby pendant]

Their record doesn't match their performance at all.

[grizzled kayak]

[hidden osprey]

It's so weird

Valiant either dominate or get dominated

[grizzled kayak]

true

they're really inconsistent

[molten skiff]

holy shite

[serene tendon]

if they get reverse sweeped im gonna die lmao

[molten skiff]

imagine awesomeguy added

[grizzled kayak]

sayaplayer>>>>>

the callouts tho lmaoooo

[ornate sigil]

"it's 5v5 we can win"

[grizzled kayak]

they did

[ornate sigil]

I like the encouraging callouts haha

[final river]

for every team every other word in comms is "monkey"

[elfin ermine]

29 and 3 get carried

Lmao

[cerulean plume]

Actual comms

[solar trout]

Still, florida has only beat SHD and Dallas Fuel before. The 12th and 10th teams and they're 11th.
If they beat the #4 team, valiant, it says a lot about their performance

[grizzled kayak]

garlic its easier to say and understand than winston

[paper crag]

mayhem is living SHD's dream right now

[grizzled kayak]

i mean like for people with different accents

[elfin ermine]

Idk wtf Florida started smoking but its some good shit

[ruby pendant]

Guess they don't want to lose their seats!

[vast geode]

This stage is great

[grizzled kayak]

stage 2 is way better than stage 1

yeah dallas is even more fucked up than in stage 1

but

[vast geode]

Apart from Dallas ofc

[grizzled kayak]

at least they won good games

they almost beat seoul

they beat gladiators

[vast geode]

Vs Boston yesterday was a mess though

Everyone wondering why AKM was on Genji

[grizzled kayak]

yeah

[paper crag]

but that was a brief period of time when fuel seemed like they were getting their shit together

[grizzled kayak]

WHY WAS AKM ON GENJI IN VOLSKAYA

[paper crag]

early stage 2 was a very optimistic time for fuel fans

[grizzled kayak]

@paper crag exactly

[vast geode]

TAIMOU TANK

[grizzled kayak]

taimou as main tank

for shotcalling

akm being akm on soldier

rascal

xqc being back

his 1st games werent bad

it was a great time for people who loved fuel

but now its all just

dead

i guess

[vast geode]

DALLAS NEEDS TO REFORM

[paper crag]

slowly building towards to an all korean team

[vast geode]

DAFRAN STYLE

[grizzled kayak]

YES BOX

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO BRINGS THE TRUTH

[paper crag]

sriracha and bbq sauce make a good combo

[grizzled kayak]

i swear i read sinatraa and xqc

"sinatraa and xqc sauce make a good combo"

[vast geode]

OMEGALUL

[paper crag]

EFFECT RIP

fuel getting picked on even on someone else's segment

[grizzled kayak]

i mean

[marsh pumice]

75%?

[grizzled kayak]

"i might go in as offtank because i have previous experience with offtanks"

[marsh pumice]

omg they play at 75% on the league?

[paper crag]

W for ult charge?

[grizzled kayak]

lol

[paper crag]

what does he use for movement?

[grizzled kayak]

wait his keyboard is azerty?

[whole mulch]

75% what

render scale?

[marsh pumice]

i lock my fps at 143 and play at 100% why do they need to play at 75%

yeh

[paper crag]

oh okay that makes sense

[marsh pumice]

render scale

[whole mulch]

Lower render scale reduces input lag

[paper crag]

if he's on a different layout

[whole mulch]

I play on 50%

some pros use 50

some 75

[marsh pumice]

wow

[vast geode]

Hmmm

[whole mulch]

100 is just for looks

[marsh pumice]

i need to try that

[whole mulch]

it's also a big fps boost

more fps = less input lag

[paper crag]

i think rascal uses 100

[whole mulch]

as long as it's stable

[paper crag]

or some big name korean pro

[whole mulch]

some use 100

[marsh pumice]

i lock them at 143 and they are always there so no need for fps but curious to see how it looks and performs

[zinc schooner]

@paper crag Yeah French keyboard has W where EN qwerty has z I think

[grizzled kayak]

i play on console 😎

😎 😎 😎 😎

[paper crag]

lol the producers definitely needed to show that unkoe was on a different layout

[whole mulch]

^

[zinc schooner]

agreed

[paper crag]

i guarantee that i wasn't the only one who was massively confused

[whole mulch]

Unkoe also needed to specify

that his keyboard is french

[zinc schooner]

Nope I had to look it up.

[marsh pumice]

yeh some french use azerty

[zinc schooner]

ahh

yup that would do it

[grizzled kayak]

ZAPPISSSSS

[vast geode]

I use Logitech G502 and Razer Blackwidow 2014

[marsh pumice]

so W is where Z is for qwerty

[tawny sigil]

that poor girl she was so camera shy, turn out her face is being shown again and again thanks to zappis

[marsh pumice]

G502 and Ducky One tkl rgb

[grizzled kayak]

ok zappis coming in for logix

[paper crag]

G900 and CM QFR

[zinc schooner]

G502 and Corsair RGS Silent.

[fading wasp]

This a debut for him? It looks like it from the hype.

[grizzled kayak]

when logix was POPPING OFF

[paper crag]

why are we listing our hardware

[elfin ermine]

ZAPPIS IN DA HOUSE

[paper crag]

peripherals

[marsh pumice]

400dpi ftw

[grizzled kayak]

@fading wasp yeah

[fading wasp]

Nice

[supple prism]

what the hell valiant

[grizzled kayak]

mayhem used to have a 6 man roster

[ruby pendant]

Logix was doing pretty good, don't know why they will switch now.

[paper crag]

oh they already got new players actually in the team house huh

[elfin ermine]

Maybe they want to test him out since theyre up 2-0

[paper crag]

and on the stage obviously

[elfin ermine]

Or cuz quad tank he plays zarya

[paper crag]

sayaplayer when

[grizzled kayak]

hes amazing at zarya

[pastel phoenix]

hi, I was staying in chromiuym to try and get drop

and they aren't dropping

[elfin ermine]

Zappis dva wat

[grizzled kayak]

sayaplayer and awesomeguyy arent officially in the team i think

[paper crag]

really?

i thought they were officially announced and stuff

just not in the US

yet

[grizzled kayak]

they were

[elfin ermine]

They are signed they just need visas

[grizzled kayak]

yeah

exactly

same thing with geguri and the other guys from shanghai

[paper crag]

yeah

i'd still say they're "officially in the team"

it's just how you define officially in a team

[grizzled kayak]

yeah

[whole mulch]

I just got back

[paper crag]

but to me, it's just signed = in the team

[whole mulch]

Mayhem is winning???

wtf

[pastel phoenix]

so here is what I use - 100fps medium quality settings mostly, 100% render scale) 800dpi 15 sens corsair m65 pro rgb mouse

[grizzled kayak]

yes 2-0

[elfin ermine]

Lolz

[paper crag]

mayhem won pretty convincingly too

[grizzled kayak]

and its zappis's debut

[whole mulch]

Has Zappis been playing the whole time

or is this the first round

[grizzled kayak]

nope 1st match

[paper crag]

mayhem is living out SHD's dream right now

[whole mulch]

so they won 2 with the original mayhem roster

wow

[elfin ermine]

Yup

[paper crag]

meme team to suddenly respectable

[elfin ermine]

Logix was popping the fuck off

[paper crag]

is old mayhem coming back

[whole mulch]

Valiant reverse sweep

I feel it

[paper crag]

it's because salty came back

[whole mulch]

:D

[paper crag]

bad juju

[elfin ermine]

Lol

[whole mulch]

I missed the Mayhem winning

now they're losing

:(

[paper crag]

i wish i was as confident as pros when dodging dva ult

like they know exactly how far they need to run and the bare minimum angle for cover

i always overkill it

better safe than sorry

[elfin ermine]

Rip

[paper crag]

watch mayhem full hold

lol

[zinc schooner]

Damm LAV showing up

[ruby pendant]

Bring Logix back!

[paper crag]

send salty back!

[hidden osprey]

inb4 reverse sweep

[elfin ermine]

Rip

Zappis shouldve played zarya

[paper crag]

lol the back screen is just a huge valiant flag because it's green and yellow

[elfin ermine]

Manneten on soldier, weird

[marsh pumice]

2-1 valiant come back?

[paper crag]

zappis out, logix back in

lol

think it'll happen?

[wide basin]

Maybe? Don't they have to submit subs before the map begins?

[elfin ermine]

Probably will depend on the map

[paper crag]

that would be horrible for zappis' morale though

"hey we're winning. go have fun and show them what you're made of!"

"we lost as soon as you went in. back to the bench with you, knave."

[elfin ermine]

Lolz

[dense jasper]

Look at all those Silver Comp players

[paper crag]

hey i'm silver

[dense jasper]

(the group of 12 year olds)

Lol

Me too

[paper crag]

those are gold players

[dense jasper]

Shit

[ruby pendant]

Logix is back!

[dense jasper]

Every one of them are Gold genjis and hanzos

[paper crag]

wait is logix back for real?

and zappis out?

[ruby pendant]

Yes

[paper crag]

LOL

[ruby pendant]

They need to practice more with Zappis

Too much risk

[paper crag]

mayhem, in their bloodlust, just crushed a man's dreams 😦

[elfin ermine]

I'm sure he understands he doesn't have enough practice with them

[paper crag]

i know lol

let a black and white circle joke

sheesh 😦

[elfin ermine]

Logix genji wut

[slim summit]

[paper crag]

i hope zappis becomes a starting player

hanjo op

[slim summit]

LOL

[paper crag]

rip silver/gold comp games

[elfin ermine]

Soon pls

[wide basin]

Definitely looks like Zappis needs a bit of catching up with the team chemistry. Long as they take this map, I'm happy that he got to play.

[paper crag]

double snipers meta incoming

[ruby pendant]

nice

Logix is too good

[elfin ermine]

Rip

[paper crag]

do you guys use toggle or hold for zoom?

[marsh pumice]

florida is on fire

[paper crag]

i used to do hold but now i use toggle

[zinc schooner]

hold as I used to play nor Ana and quickscope is too good.

[wide basin]

Godamn, we're rolling the Valiant. Is this real life?

Spoke too... Soon

[zinc schooner]

lel

[paper crag]

mayhem can't win if their fans are watching

[marsh pumice]

yeh im shock'ed

[paper crag]

go away

lol

[elfin ermine]

Spicy

[paper crag]

mayahem isn't moving forward cuz no hanzo

mayhem needs hanzo and ana

they still pushed far

[wide basin]

Ouch

[elfin ermine]

🤔

[wide basin]

Rough ending, but a good round overall

[zinc schooner]

daamn

[paper crag]

lol fate trying to calm down

i see that mayhem is planning on letting valiant push until the end and settle things when mayhem is back on attack /s

[pearl cedar]

lmfao

panic blinks

he blinked into a corner twice

[elfin ermine]

Mayhem didn't get it to the end tho

[pearl cedar]

thats rare from logix

[wide basin]

They need to bring out Tviq's Junk

[paper crag]

hence the /s

to denote sarcasm

[zinc schooner]

slow ass EMP doe.

[elfin ermine]

Oh didn't notice that

[paper crag]

sombra still gets ult charge from heal packs here right?

[zinc schooner]

nope

wait

[paper crag]

i think they do in owl

[zinc schooner]

yes in the OWL patch they do, sry too much contenders watching this week.

[ornate sigil]

Yes in OWL, they're on the first post-mercy-nerf patch

[paper crag]

i'm not a big fan of how owl and regular clients don't match up

so contenders are on the most recent patch?

[zinc schooner]

makes it hard to watch for sure.

[elfin ermine]

Me neither

[paper crag]

are all balance patches rolled out immediately on contenders?

[zinc schooner]

Yes as they are playing on live and not lan clients.

[paper crag]

i see

tbh i'd much rather prefer that :\

[zinc schooner]

same

I get why I guess for scrimming, but I'd prefer they be on live sans bugs.

[paper crag]

yeah

[elfin ermine]

Yeah I mean the changes are usually on ptr for a good amount of time not like its a surprise

[zinc schooner]

I mean, call me crazy, but I'd kinda like the OWL client to get patches and new Heroes early.

[elfin ermine]

But whatevs

[paper crag]

i don't think getting balance patches rolled out mid-stage will affect the quality of games that much

unless it's something as huge as the mercy reworks/nerfs

[ornate sigil]

If they rolled out mid-stage the teams would have to completely restrategize

[zinc schooner]

agreed. I mean, if they are that good why not? if they are not that good, then the internal teams need to step it up. (source: I am a QA IRL and do a ton of testing before release)

[ornate sigil]

They wouldn't have a lot of time to practice each new patch since they play every week

[paper crag]

and it's not like balance patches are so frequent that they need to restrategize every week

[hidden osprey]

TVIQ

PogChamp

[wide basin]

TVIQ MVP

[zinc schooner]

Maybe, but they play constantly so they get more time in than us on ladder. But I understand it from a scrim and viewership standpoint.

[hidden osprey]

Shame the rest of his team couldn't keep up with him

[paper crag]

scary moment for mayhem

[elfin ermine]

[ruby pendant]

Valiant look pissed!!!

[median saddle]

he was one of my favorite players when he played TF2

[marsh pumice]

florida is Ryzen

[pearl cedar]

Cwoosh came to play too holyy

[dull socket]

Thta was so great to watch

[tall sierra]

Wooooow

[pearl cedar]

Misfits are backk

[paper crag]

honestly though i feel like mayhem's performance was convincing enough that valiant doesn't have to be so pissed

[cerulean plume]

I guess we found out why they don't play agilities anymore

[paper crag]

at least pissed about "losing to a bottom tier trash team"

[pearl cedar]

Naw Florida played really well

[marsh pumice]

indeed

[pearl cedar]

Logix definitely trying to convince Kariv that he should stick to support

LOL

[paper crag]

lol

[elfin ermine]

Lmao

Fucking new phone autocorrect

[torpid charm]

Valiant uuuh hella inconsistent

[paper crag]

i wonder if valient came in today expecting a 4-0

[pearl cedar]

6-2 Tracer on route 66...in uh, 30 seconds of play

what the fuck?

LOL

[elfin ermine]

That would've been hilarious

"Lol were up against Florida lul 4-0verwatch amirite"

[paper crag]

oh it's our turn for the free win? alright bois

[torpid charm]

[pastel phoenix]

Zappis going to ruin all the chemistry Mayhem has now

[plain barn]

[paper crag]

i'm sure cwoosh is a big boi tho

[elfin ermine]

Holy cwoosh tall af

[paper crag]

i wish i could walk half as confidently as soe does

[humble moth]

you mean like a normal person?

[slim summit]

Mayhem gonna win Stage 3 title matches

CONFIRMED

[cerulean plume]

Next match tho

[slim summit]

They doubled their Stage 1 wins in Stage 2 --- if this pattern continues, they'll get 4 wins in Stage 3 then 8 wins in Stage 4

[paper crag]

that girl's been dabbing in the backdrop every time she's on screen

[humble moth]

i hate the crowd

[cerulean plume]

Make blank character do blank

Pretty much

[paper crag]

it was funny for the first 3 times or so

but there's always somebody who realizes a joke has been spent and it's time to move on

i mean doesn't realize

[supple prism]

glad for the win?

[humble moth]

the crowd is a physical representation of twitch chat

[paper crag]

lol that hanzo snipe on widow

i feel like they need to start controlling the amount of handheld signs

[humble moth]

yeah its not wwe

[paper crag]

a few clever ones improve the atmosphere of the scene

[indigo barn]

this is the team that 4-0'ed houston

[paper crag]

but when it pretty much covers half the screen, it's kinda messy

[humble moth]

[paper crag]

@indigo barn which team?

[indigo barn]

florida mayhem

no dum dum i mean valiant

[serene tendon]

whose ready to watch jake forced into playing tracer and sucking

not meeeee

😭

[indigo barn]

its a bad time to be a houston fan

they get rekt tonight

they get rekt romorrow

[humble moth]

i was gonna say, mayhem never 4-0 them

They're not gonna get rekt tonight

<Houston fan

[supple prism]

3-2 glad?

[slim summit]

Glads will stomp

[paper crag]

i liked the mayhem vs valiant's yellow-green contrast

it was very soothing

[indigo barn]

hardcore houston fan right here but idk what they're even doing at this point

[slim summit]

they've been running impeccable dives

unbelievable gameplay

We need to see nu Glads vs NYXL

[humble moth]

fuck LA

[paper crag]

now it's highlighter green and purple stab your eyes out color scheme

[supple prism]

purple shirt eye stabber

[cerulean plume]

Going off consistency id take the outlaws, but outlaws haven't looked good recently

[paper crag]

the fact that fuel beat glads is what makes me not 100% confident in glad

but it WAS early stage 2

i.e. the brief period when fuel looked like they had their shit together

[onyx shore]

wow

[paper crag]

the BPWFLLTHTST

[onyx shore]

how the fuck valiant lost to mayhem

absolute disgrace

[cerulean plume]

[indigo barn]

valiant 4-0's houston a week ago

and then valiant loses to some mcdonald lookin boys

[elfin ermine]

Florida stepping their game up

[indigo barn]

what can i say, owl sometimes is rock paper scissors

stats on paper doesnt mean everything u kno

[elfin ermine]

Valiant scrubs lul

[indigo barn]

valiant will win 3-0 vs seoul but lose 1-3 to some mcdonald boyz

valiant doesnt know where its at bro

almost as inconsistent as philly fusion

[pearl stratus]

I don't think its just inconsistency.

This was literally the best game Florida has played the entire season so far.

[elfin ermine]

Inb4 Gladiators beat Houston lul

[pearl stratus]

They're looking night and day different from before.

[elfin ermine]

^

[pearl stratus]

Dunno what happened to them.

But everyone is playing more consistently.

[elfin ermine]

New coach

Thats what happened

[cerulean plume]

Korean coach

[hidden osprey]

Hope Gladiators win

[pearl stratus]

He's only been there for a week, though. And they've been looking better all stage 2.

[brisk roost]

Yo I can't believe Mayhem defeated Val

[elfin ermine]

[brisk roost]

[mild cargo]

Mayhem causing... mayhem

[pearl stratus]

Nah I'm pretty sure Houston is fucked.

[undone gust]

Hey everyone I'm new to Discord and I just wanted to say what's up!! 👍🏽

[ruby pendant]

Gladiators going to win!!!?

[indigo barn]

yo the real question is, how did shanghai do against nyxl tho

[pearl stratus]

They lost hard, but they didn't look bad.

[ruby pendant]

@undone gust Welcome!

[pearl stratus]

If that makes sense.

[indigo barn]

was shanghai vs nyxl a "close" 4-0 or a total fking destruction 4-0

[pearl stratus]

First two maps were kind of hit or miss.

Last two Shanghai started showing up some.

[elfin ermine]

Lol that cosplay tho

[serene tendon]

thats an adorable mccree cosplay

[molten skiff]

those two kids look mad confused

[pearl stratus]

They put MG on D'va though. Again.

[indigo barn]

dammit dude

[brisk roost]

@indigo barn Stomped

[pearl stratus]

They made a deal with Dallas.

To make Mickie look better.

They play MG on D'va.

[indigo barn]

sounds just about right

[brisk roost]

Yo our bois needs this W

[median saddle]

Lets go Gladiators

[undone gust]

LA Gladiators!!! All day!!!!

[brisk roost]

Even tho I know Glads are wrecking for the past couple of matches

[brisk roost]

Outlaws fan all day fam

[indigo barn]

[undone gust]

Right!!! @indigo barn

[pearl stratus]

If Muma + Coolmatt are back in sync, and they've worked more at playing aggressive.

[brisk roost]

Nah man

[pearl stratus]

We'll see a good match.

If they don't.

[brisk roost]

We got this bro

[pearl stratus]

They're fucked.

[indigo barn]

sigh

[ruby pendant]

Gladiators too good.

[shy wind]

[ruby pendant]

Asher and Fissure will destroy them

[pearl stratus]

This isn't a passive league anymore, and they keep trying for it.

[shy wind]

[indigo barn]

Linkzr better dish out some fking headshots tonight then

[pearl stratus]

3-1.

[ruby pendant]

@shy wind easily

[shy wind]

jeez

[pearl stratus]

Logixx went HAM.

[brisk roost]

Keep Jake away from Tracer tonight lol

[pearl stratus]

He's was an EU SBB.

[indigo barn]

asher vs jake tracer

kms

[undone gust]

God that game was amazing 😂😂😂

[indigo barn]

and wtf r we gonna do vs hydration doomfist man

[pearl stratus]

Jake will be on Tracer sometimes. You just can't avoid needing a Tracer.

It's a matter of what maps he does it.

[brisk roost]

Jake should play more Junkrat and Hog tonight

[pearl stratus]

Depends on what maps they get.

Junk doesn't always work.

[undone gust]

Idk about that I mean it really just depends on the map

[pearl stratus]

He tried playing a lot of Junkrat last week.

[ruby pendant]

Gladiators are too good, we already know who's going to win.

[brisk roost]

True

[pearl stratus]

And got destroyed.

[brisk roost]

Kings Row Hog is OP

[serene tendon]

everyones suddenly a gladiators fan 😒

[brisk roost]

So that'd be fine

[pearl stratus]

I'm just a fissure fan.

[sinful fox]

I been a gladiators fan

[indigo barn]

idc if the map isnt good for junkrat, jake better play fkin junkrat

TRACER ISSUE

GG

[undone gust]

Iv been a fan since stage one!!!

[indigo barn]

AAAHHHH

[median saddle]

I've liked glads since the beginning

[sinful fox]

gladiators been my desktop/phone background for 3 months

[pearl stratus]

I like Fissure, the rest of LAG can kind of fuck off.

[sinful fox]

I represent surefour all day

[pearl stratus]

But Fissure is bananas.

[indigo barn]

nah man hydration's insane

[humble moth]

[sinful fox]

@pearl stratus ok yea ur fired kiud

[brisk roost]

Been a fan of Outlaws since day one fam

[indigo barn]

shaz a pretty damn hot zen

[pearl stratus]

Hydration is whatever.

If Hydration is on, he's good.

If he's off, he's horrible.

But he doesn't have a middle consistency.

[indigo barn]

i guess

[loud basin]

GLADIATORS!!!!

[pearl stratus]

Asher is their hard carry now with Fissure.

[indigo barn]

jake and clockwork's tracer worst stats in league aw man

[warped axle]

Hydration on Doomfist = Man's hot

[pearl stratus]

Fissure gives him so much room that he can be an insane tracer versus his stage 1.

[loud basin]

[hidden osprey]

Jake best Tracer NA

[brisk roost]

RIP jake and Clockwork

[indigo barn]

hydration on doomfist makes me cum

[humble moth]

let mccree ride orisa lol

[warped axle]

[indigo barn]

oh oops wrong one

MENDO

BRING HIM OUT DAMMIT

[brisk roost]

[sinful fox]

clockwork is a tracer main :FeelsBadMan: stop clowing him

[ruby pendant]

Asher, Fissure, and Hydration are too much for Outlaws

[pearl stratus]

This isn't the match I'd bring Mendo out on, for his first time on stage.

[indigo barn]

Tracer ISSS THE PROBLEM U DIPSHTS

[pearl stratus]

You kind of want to bring him out on like.

A shanghai day.

Warm him up to it.

[sinful fox]

secret weapon Humblekusaii (@Mendokusaii)

i know for a fact that @Muma is going to play his heart out and do absolutely everything he can to win today.

Because he's playing against @Surefour , the only other male who has ever kissed me

Twitter

[brisk roost]

I just want a close match tbh

I don't want one sided

Like 0-4 or 4-0

[undone gust]

Same @brisk roost

[indigo barn]

i hope we dont get another mfking 4-0

[lethal plank]

Glad Florida won that lol

[pearl stratus]

Watch us all eat our words.

[indigo barn]

houston tracer's oh sht

[onyx shore]

the highest lvel of play is yesterday's match

[lethal plank]

GO TEXAS

[pearl stratus]

And Jakes been getting mentored by SBB this last week.

And suddenly he's good.

[humble moth]

:suddenly hes good" lost last 5 matches

[visual glen]

[serene tendon]

this purple green contrast is fucking nutty

[brisk roost]

🗣

[humble moth]

its gonna look cool

[onyx shore]

clockwork 1st map

so jake gonna start next

[hidden osprey]

"suddenly he's good"

[pearl stratus]

They both have two of the best looking heroes in the league.

[hidden osprey]

OMEGALUL

[brisk roost]

[sinful fox]

i would kiss mendo too

[pearl stratus]

If nothing else its a style match.

[humble moth]

jake never starts

he always comes in round 2 or 3

[sinful fox]

damn muma with the scruff

[undone gust]

This is gonna sound stupid but I wanna play on that stage one day 😂😂

[pearl stratus]

I'm 90% certain its so he can watch a map from a pure spectator mode.

And try and figure out how stuff goes.

[brisk roost]

No Jake just yet

[onyx shore]

that stage is too loud

[pearl stratus]

Doesn't help, but it wouldn't be surprising to me.

[indigo barn]

clockwork taking first map as usual

[pearl stratus]

Did Shaz lose weight?

[brisk roost]

Jake always subs in for the rest of the games

[pearl stratus]

He's not looking like a marshmellow anymore.

[undone gust]

Woo!!!!!!

[sinful fox]

dude surefours hair is huge

hes gonna have an afro by stage 3

[indigo barn]

fissure vs muma lets go boyz

[pearl stratus]

He's competing with Houston hair.

[sinful fox]

somebody clean that man up

[pearl stratus]

He had to bring it.

[onyx shore]

surefour looks like mini version of xqc

[undone gust]

BIG GOOSE!!!!

[visual glen]

poof

dat hair

[onyx shore]

was that cisco ramon from the flash as referee?

[sinful fox]

bischus lil korean pony tail haha

[pearl stratus]

I like how most of Glad didn't get big cheers.

Then it got to Fissure.

[lethal plank]

was that a plastic shield? lul

[pearl stratus]

Fissure such a hard carry. Love Fissure.

[hidden osprey]

Oh no, Semmler and Hex

[humble moth]

were his eyes closed or am I racist

[onyx shore]

yikes

[wide basin]

This Lex Luthor matchup

[pearl stratus]

Hex isn't the worst.

[onyx shore]

semmler and hex

[humble moth]

it is semmler, damn it

[indigo barn]

no hydration good no blades to slice and dice my boyz

[pearl stratus]

Semm is pretty horrible.

[undone gust]

Damn isn't this Gladiators A team?

[lethal plank]

Will Fissure carry this game? Tune in next time on DragonWatch Z.

[zinc schooner]

Love Hex, Semmler? Meh.

[pearl stratus]

Uber + Hex is probably the best duo.

[humble moth]

pls no semmler

😦

[pearl stratus]

Hex is concise and good at play by play, kind of what you want from an announcer.

[humble moth]

uber and Mr x

thats what I want

[pearl stratus]

Semm is just... stupidity.

[onyx shore]

everytime outlaws in volskaya

[brisk roost]

Uber and Mr X are awesome

[pearl stratus]

Nah you need to save Uber and Mr X.

[onyx shore]

they always use clockwork

[pearl stratus]

For games like Seoul vs. NYXL.

You don't waste that talent on lesser games.

[onyx shore]

agreed

[humble moth]

houston is never a lesser game

[ruby pendant]

Gladiators already won!

[onyx shore]

this is a lesser game though

[brisk roost]

Nah

Can't say that tbh

[pearl stratus]

You bring out Uber and Mr. X for Seoul vs. London tomorrow or saturday. Whatever day I forgot it is.

[humble moth]

Every game is important to houston right now

[indigo barn]

that dive just kill me now please

[visual glen]

killfeed all purple wew

[onyx shore]

yikes

[humble moth]

actually puckett needs to commentate one

all the hype

[sinful fox]

man we need to appreciate puckett more

that guy hosted so many games and knew so much about all of them

[humble moth]

i love puckett

[sinful fox]

he probably could cast a game

[undone gust]

Already out!!!

[onyx shore]

they should have 18+ commentary

[humble moth]

blizzard +18? lol

[onyx shore]

with explicit language

[humble moth]

they censored gg ez

[brisk roost]

YEAH!!

LETS GO!

[indigo barn]

houston fans more insane than la glad fans gotta admit that

[humble moth]

see let clockwork play tracer

not jake

[serene tendon]

yeah they should yell stuff like "Shit!" and "Fuck!" that would be so OCOL

[pearl stratus]

Clockwork, sadly, isn't that much better.

He is better.

[pastel phoenix]

AutoMod: Mods have removed your message. - message was My VIRGIN EARS BibleThump

[pearl stratus]

But not by a huge margin, as much as I'd love him to be.

[undone gust]

Damn!!! 😦

[pearl stratus]

My favorite was Clockwork thinking he had two blinks last week.

And jumping off the map.

[zinc schooner]

do nothing EMPs 😦

[indigo barn]

LETS GOOOO

[ruby pendant]

lol wow

[brisk roost]

LETS GO HOUSTON!

[indigo barn]

KILL FISSURE AND THIS SHT ENDS

[pearl stratus]

That was Muma+Coolmatt back to being in sync, thank god.

[brisk roost]

LINKZR GOT THIS BOIS

[hidden osprey]

Linkzr will probably start stuttering soon

[humble moth]

ez

[tall sierra]

Any LA Glad fans here?

[indigo barn]

[pearl stratus]

Boink needs to grow out his hair.

[pastel phoenix]

nope, I don't like the color purple

[pearl stratus]

What is that close cut shit.

[humble moth]

LA just lost for the first time on this map

[pearl stratus]

He's on Houston.

[hidden osprey]

It's 2CP

[pearl stratus]

His hair must be as big as texas.

[brisk roost]

Houston needs to stay this way

[hidden osprey]

Could go either way

[humble moth]

that was like 2 minutes lol

[indigo barn]

Kill fissure and its a ez clap

[tall sierra]

Yea he's the key

[hidden osprey]

Remember yesterday's Hanamura NYXL vs Seoul

[pearl stratus]

Focusing Fissure is a legitimate strat against LAG.

[tall sierra]

^

[pastel phoenix]

favorite colors - blue - green -orange - favorite teams based on colors - Dallas( but I have disowned them), outlaws, Fusion

[pearl stratus]

Their DPS lose so much space when Fissure goes down.

[undone gust]

It's ok we'll make that come back let's get it Gladiators!!!!✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

[pearl stratus]

Just like focusing Muma is a strategy against Houston.

[indigo barn]

linkzr on widow GG

ITS DONE

[tall sierra]

Neither team is my team, but for this series, I'm going for LA Glads... I always want to see Houston get stomped...

We'll see..could go either way.

[indigo barn]

fissure is so pissed

[brisk roost]

CLOCKWORK REDEEMIN LETS GO

[pearl stratus]

I'm torn because I like a good chunk of people on each team.

[hidden osprey]

same, seeing a cocky team lose is too satisfying

[undone gust]

Ikr!!

[brisk roost]

We can keep Clockwork now lmao

[onyx shore]

idk why winston left click looks more satisfying on tournament

[glacial sleet]

oh shit

[sinful fox]

la gladiators isnt even cocky

[brisk roost]

We don't need Jake if he gonna play Tracer

[tall sierra]

@hidden osprey Exactly!

[hidden osprey]

Higher tick servers

[sinful fox]

they are all really humble

lol

[glacial sleet]

just got on who's winning

[onyx shore]

rather than when you play as winston

[pearl stratus]

No one yet.

[hidden osprey]

I'm referring to Houston being cocky

[sinful fox]

oh okay

my b

[hidden osprey]

np

[glacial sleet]

valiant match is over?

fuck

[tall sierra]

^ as for Houston being cocky...

[humble moth]

they were allowed to be cocky in stage 1

[pearl stratus]

Valiant went phbbbtbbbt.

[sinful fox]

valiant got 1-3'd @glacial sleet

[glacial sleet]

lame

inconsistent team

[undone gust]

Fissure!!!!!!

[tall sierra]

LA Glads just warming up..

[pearl stratus]

That was a good chunk of time off the clock.

[sinful fox]

mayhem played super well

[pearl stratus]

As silly as it is.

[indigo barn]

la glad is sucking hard

fissure doing all the work

[pearl stratus]

That's... most of their games lately.

Fissure is a monster.

[sinful fox]

surefours tracking is so fucking nasty bro

[tall sierra]

I was just thinking that

[pastel phoenix]

You are banned from talking in overwatchleague for 241 more seconds.

[tall sierra]

I like watching surefour on soldier

[sinful fox]

me too

[tall sierra]

And yea..Fissure is the best thing to happen to LA Glads

[sinful fox]

his aim is so smooth

surefours tracking is like

relaxing to me

lol

[pearl stratus]

I liked iRemix too.

[tall sierra]

Know what his mouse settings are?

[median saddle]

Sheilds Up

[pearl stratus]

I feel kind of bad for him.

[hidden osprey]

Fissure spawn camping

lmao

[indigo barn]

AH FUK

[sinful fox]

iRemix will see play time during rein era maybe

[onyx shore]

fissure

damn

[tall sierra]

LA Glads let's gooo

[slim summit]

this is gonna be a good match

[pearl stratus]

Fissures Rein is really good too.

[median saddle]

that's what I like to see

[sinful fox]

yeah it is

[humble moth]

yeah fissure carry all day

[pearl stratus]

And his leadership is huge.

[slim summit]

should Fissure have started for London?

[brisk roost]

Both teams doing a really good job yo

[sinful fox]

but iRemix rein is better than his winston

[median saddle]

from one of the best tanks

[pearl stratus]

Thats a tough one.

[brisk roost]

I bet London regrets selling out Fissure lmao

[tall sierra]

Yea it's a great match up

[sinful fox]

maybe they swap maps

[pearl stratus]

Because Londons two tanks have crazy synergy.

So do you want to interrupt that?

[sinful fox]

i dont think iremix will sit the bench

[pearl stratus]

Probably not.

[sinful fox]

they either trade him or keep him for rein

but i doubt they'll trade because him and bischu were a package

they played together for over a year

[tall sierra]

London has so much to choose from on their bench... they're just spreading the love...

[slim summit]

I know that Winston has been meta for, like, over a year now

but it's still weird to me that he gets played

[worldly acorn]

why not keep him and swap him in to build synergy?

[undone gust]

BIGGOOSE!!! Best support in the league in my opinion

[sinful fox]

because its about winning in maps

[slim summit]

and Reinhardt is shite

[sinful fox]

not about practicing

[pearl stratus]

Because they're no where near close to each other @worldly acorn

[sinful fox]

buildining synergy happens in scrims

[worldly acorn]

mfw scrims

[sinful fox]

not in matches

[pearl stratus]

Fissure vs. iRemix is like pitting in the high of his day Mike Tyson.

Against a fourth grader.

[sinful fox]

idk about that

iremix is very good

but fissure is very VERY good

[pearl stratus]

It's not a comparison.

[pastel phoenix]

https://prosettings.net/overwatch/surefour/ - not sure if true though, didn't see anything on liquipedia or his twitch

[forest wharf]

Hold. Up. Just getting around to checking today's scores...FL 3-1'd LAV????

[sinful fox]

yep

they played very well

[slim summit]

Florida hwaiting

[indigo barn]

get staggered baby

[pearl stratus]

Florida is playing like crazy right now.

[sinful fox]

linkzr carry

[pearl stratus]

The new coach and new player seems to have been a huge motivation for them.

[onyx shore]

why rawkus suicie?

[forest wharf]

Holy shit man

[worldly acorn]

rawkus taking a long walk down a short pier

[sinful fox]

i mean zappis is insanely good player

he decided to spam ladder on NA at the end of s8

i got him in a few games

and he got like 4680 on 150 ping in like 1 day

lol

[pearl stratus]

I think its more than him being a good player.

From the way Cwoosh was talking it just sounds like his presence has been good for morale.

[sinful fox]

but in addition to that

[onyx shore]

LUL

[sinful fox]

hes a very very very good player

and imo better tank than manneten
