Gladiators to be able to take on koreans consistently
soe's dress is beautiful
the other western teams don't seem close enough
same
Gee I couldn't tell Seoule
i want gladiators in the playoffs
Same
fuck you my name is based off a typo
Poor dragons
im not a seoul fan
Same, i have dynasty sombra
mainly because I'm tired of seoul being top team
Now i have nyxl shit
1 year of lunatic hai
No wins dragoms
that's like free 7-8 maps for them
Christ
NYXL are just so good that it's super entertaining to watch
Poor dragons
I'm still trying to decide one which purple Gladiatiors skin I want
All of them
nyxl is insane
all gladiators need is london to lose against seoul tomorrow and that they win their two games next week
i had to get purple winston out of respect to fissure
Give mei primal rage
If London loses, I'm switching teams
@slim summit I feel you, I really want to abandon Houston but I cant
are those mouse pads?
shock pls take a map or two or even the win
Awe london, that was nice of them lol
birdring ðŸ˜
oh was london giving out mousepads?
i think so
I still like Houston
^
I'm rocking the Outlaws Pharah
Houston zen is the best
that name fits him well
Is Moth new?
yeah
I thought shock was korean, guess I never really watch them either
Danteh is better looking than Babybay
MONTE AND DOA
Mr 150K lol


all I ask is no semmler

isn't sinatraa of korean ethnicity
smeller and hex 
ugh
yeah he's a US citizen but his ethnicity is korean
skin color matters a lot to imawolfrawr
it does
The Mothman Cometh
I've just stopped looking at Twitch chat
poor moth
San Francisco boutta clap London's cheeks, am I right hahahahahahaha
first game vs london
how am I supposed to know who to avoid @paper crag
@torpid charm pls be right
is sinatraa THAT good though?
No
apparently
hes toxic
like is he gonna be up ther with sbb and munchkin
I've never seen him play
and soon etc
No
so he's not gonna suddenly make SFS a top contender
I don't think so
im gonna bet on danteh being a better tracer than sinatraa
I want the away spitfire skins pls
I want away skins period
Yeah, I like their away uniforms
for real. i wish we could buy away skins
BYE MOTH
Then I would actually get a Mayhem skin
moth first death in owl
Moth already throwing :(

Hooreegg
peeking hooreg
yea haha
spitfire's home skin is a bit too much for me
that sleep
I think it should be random. Like you buy a Houston skin and its random whether you're team is home or away
no
your*
i would hate that
yes
lol that's something blizz would do
pls no
don't give them ideas
you never see your own skin anyways
you should get both the home and away skins if you buy a skin
just the hand
ok london
wated recall
what is this performance
there you go
getting both would be nice but i'd be content with being able to buy either one
it wouldn't be a London match if they didn't lose to shit tier teams on stage
profit is washed up
but actually having the choice
why is babybay on tracer smh
how is rascal's tracer?
danteh is obv better tracer
doesnt he usually play tracer?
I hate Volskaya point B
was he the tracer for spitfire?
stagger city it is
bdosin has boston spray?
wasted transendence
i think everyone has all cosmetics
danteh is the better tracer/sombra/genji
at least league relevant cosmetics
Are there any Zen's who actually have amazing Trans use?
Even Jjonak's Tran's aren't amazing
SF doing not too bad
rjh?
I don't think league uniforms should cost those dumb tokens
i'm surprised
should just be gold
no
but then how much for an uniform
freefeel definitely has the most amazing trans
Why did Bdosin and Nus go on a flank
it's so next level it almost looks bad
Freefeed
7 or 8k i would say
what is bdosin doing?
you know, just bdosin'
Aren't London usually more aggro than this?
So once OWL is over you can't unlock uniforms anymore?
Doubt it
they usually dont feed this hard
please clap
They'll probably still let you buy tokens
kinda hope they dont
Wtf are Spitfire doing
the shock are doing it
letz go shock
it stuck then fell
wow nice
I didn't see a stick
what a joke
WOW
it went between them
i heard it
when did my team become shit
it stuck the wall
What a shock!
Shocking
i heard the tick when it stuck
ESPORT READY
brb forever
moth is doing pretty decent imo
danteh back on tracer
danteh tracer 
bobbyboy is popping off man
LOL
bobbyboy
wait
you have a mouth and a team
bibbiboi
so do we all
SLEEPY IS WOKE
the tales of bobbyboy and bibbiboi
not having to watch dhak anymore is so relieving
ydoyouguyshatedhak
idk who dhak is
holy fk is it the real bobbyboy
Babybay = real life Pepe the frog
^lmao
gg
OMG
i was looking at london and typed it
bobbyboy with the easy 3k
woohall yall
its woohall yall
u n l u c k y
gg
yes
Depressing
dang 😦
Wtf
wtf
will shock ever close out a map? find out next time
paid actor
wtf is that guy doing
idk
im pretty sure hes gonna shoot the place up
lul
yeah
bordibord got a 3k and they didnt cap
hashtag lone wolf
why is the team called london spitfire when its a 6 korean imports lmao
you know
I didn't think i'd see a mercy worse than Dhak
bcos they chose that name
until I saw Moth
Verbo
cause someone paid 20 mill to call it that
that was an omegalul opener for him
korea spitifre
hopefully he has a better 2nd game
do koreans have a signature plane
should london have racial quota for british people?
not too well studied on korean plane history
is it bad that i only want to see the spitfire fail
yeah, they yellow washed london and NYX
w e w
I thought I would be impressed by Moth, not sure if it's just 2cp or it's too early but he did not look good
well,as team owner you want to sign best players
Fun fact there is only one British person in the OWL
2
Who's the second one
boombox and clockwork
?
im pretty syure
Clockwork is American as hell
ih wait
lol
Can someone tell me what that number under the player’s username is? Like some of them have bullets and others orb icons?
United Kingdom United Kingdom 2 Boombox, numlocked
thats it
Is it the role ranking?
boombox is the only GOOD british player
lul
lul
WOO Y'ALL
what if it didn't work out lol
South Korea?
You don't know the idiom "Things went south"?
no i do lol
Boston has an Ethiopan on the team
i just noticed that you capitalized the S in South
MODS PLS
u w u
STAHP
orange vs orange
red*
xD
it's odd that spitfire's color is orange when their skins are more blue than orange
yeah but the backdrop was orange
Fusion is orange
you'd imagine the backdrop color for spitfire would be blue
two snipers and still winning
lol hanzo a serious pick now
Mhm
kinda funny how hanzo and sombra are suddenly being used more now that they're about to be patched
I just like to see variation instead of just dive vs dive
gg
i just hate how there are so many barriers in the game
London just toying now...
well at least you don't see all of them at once in regular games
Scatter arrow is only useful sometimes so I don't think so
but mystery heroes against 5 shields is a nightmare
well,scatter is hanzo's only redeeming factor
both his skills are useful
shock needs sinartata in there asap
Sonar arrow is very good
and he'll be even more infuriating if a bad player pick him
I don't think it's actually called sonar arrow I just can't remember it's real name
sonic i think
idk it either
That's it
Sinatraa has a big shoe to fill...very tall order.
All this hype...question is will he live up to it? Will it really make a huge difference?
Nah
i don't think he will lol
Remember when Dallas hyped up AKM
It's not some magical solution eh
Yeah
i think he'll be decent but i don't think anybody can live up to that kind of hype
akm's debut match was pretty hype though
I think vs the Glads?
lol those cheers
That was good
He wasn't able to shine much though due to better teams picking him apart.
"WOOOOOOOOO"
y'all
akm tore glads apart on his debut match though
Who in the fuck is howling
haha right? who is that lol
it's just that the akm strat got figured out and dallas got picked apart alive in the following matches
that's true..
London's patients... typical strat of Korean teams... just incredible...keeps us on our toes.
nvm
why would you spray?
gg
wtf
that almost c9
haha
lol
shock sux
GG's
whew
lol
Kills 2 with a pulse bomb
0-4watch inc
LET IDDQD FUCK
whhy the same two people
gg
London = the Hope breaker ...
Doesn't capitalize
really wanted shock to win but its pretty entertaining watching them lose at the last second
Just Shock Things
Why shock left the friggin point when they already had it!?!
chasing to stagger probably

You could say they were a little shocked
Just came from the future, 3-2 shock
hey guys have you heard? there's a new comp rank order!

lul
fuel shd are def the two
we'll have to see how mayhem does
mayhem and shock?
mayhem would have solidly had it if you asked this question like 2 weeks ago
but now i kind of want to give them a little time
hasn't houston also been falling off pretty hard lately
okay i don't know wtf danquewatch is supposed to be, but OWL has got to prohibit advertising streams with handheld signs at OWL
the danquewatch & cerberus on that sign may not even be streamer names but still
Oh they’re highlighting the London support flank I mentioned earlier
Ikr, like what even was that
let reinhardt dragonblade
Dragonhammer
hammerdragon
Every kill resets charge’s cooldown
you mean every charge resets kill's cooldown
every kill resets ult charge lol
i want to see a reverse roadhog hook skill
where you move toward the target if you hit
i'm still waiting for someone to get kicked out from the arena bcos of controversial sign
and do a bit of damage and stun
I think he should be able to grapple like widow
i think i read somewhere that widow was gonna be able to hang down from high places
but they scrapped that idea
like spiderman?
yeah
Like her highlight intro
idk how true it is
yeah like her highlight intro and in the short
yeah i feel like it would have been incredibly clunky and not that useful
at least not useful enough to warrant the effort to perfect it
it probably made her a huge target
i'll bet if it's implemented
let window go prone
she should fall if the cable is cut and die because she drops head first
it will be pain in the ass patching the spot that she should not be able to hang
they let genji sit on walls spider-man style too
genji should be able to do that
like 5 map
maybe lost
i think
so they couldn't
they should implement the symetra treatment for every hero
let every hero have alternate ult
mayhem was looking pretty strong. they need to get out of the bad habit of "hey we're ahead by 1 point. let's take logix out and put zappis in"
start with zappis if you want lol
but don't take out a man who's in the zone
is zappis the name of the guy? i forget
i havent been watching owl that much and im sad. classes and all.
lol
zenyatta alternative ult: He turns invincible but instead of healing emits discord to everyone around him
and im paying for my calss by myself

the big boi?
yikes
has to be
cringey af
lol
he needs to be suspended and fined
that's soyboy
i mean generating hype is good
im a soyboy
cant she?
that's the point
oh lol
gasp
what
Bring Back Bastion Shield
Grappling Hook Bastion
wall turret bastion with shield
Let Soldier Primal Rage
let this meme die already
😦
let us have fun
wow hanzo is really seeing some play today
lol bodyshot with scatter? profit is trash
literally SHD
lol yeah hanzo was not working out
Babybay throwing
sf gonna lose in overtime
ugh the lack of in-client spectator mode infuriates me more every day
I want that for Season 2
i wonder if it's even possible though
WUT
Sneaky profit
aren't they playing on a completely isolated LAN server
yeah
yikes
i'd be content with dedicated twitch channels for individual players though
thats what I want
only got a few % from that hidden zarya
too many things to set up
they all have a twitch account already
the fact that we can't spectate in game in this million dollar tournament is a disgrace
seriously
the computer they're playing on dont have internet im pretty sure
RIP
then how are we watching it
a pc capture
it wont be a problem if the spectating experience on twitch is good
@tawny sigil You literally just copy the inputs of each player and replay it
No internet needed
Why was there that percent mark on the point?
but so far...yeah...
not much difference with stage 1
still "storytelling" activated
they just need to let us view the match through proxy transfer throught the game itself
would be simplier
do not hope for it dude
this is a small indie company
not multi billion dollar corporation like EA
uh
if valve can have an in client mode for a tournament that breaks records for highest prize pool literally every year from their launch in 2011, blizz can make one for a game that was made with the intention of making it the biggest esport project ever
i'm being sarcastic dude
ikr lol
agreed
the "small indie company" is a pretty popular meme
i dont know some peolpe out there think blizzard still exist
pathetic
reverse sweep incoming
Let's fucking go Shock
london is so bad on attack for some reason
dark orange beating light orange
Aren't they the aggressive Korean team
that's why london should have gone blue
lul wrong clip
LET BIRDRING FUCK
effect does
If birdring comes out it's over
where is birdring
they're saving him
they like to "hide strategies"
vs weak teams
so they bench their A team
since they have a huge game vs seoul soon
Does it look like Moth is OWL level yet
Soe with the final fantasy main character hair style type, i just noticed
I won my 100 on the first day of OWL
Wow
man those screams in the background are getting annoying
I’ve watched like 75 games
they introduced that guy while back

Only earned 175 tokens
he's always doing that during SF matches
I've apparently watched ~100 games
feelsbadman for the people around him
Right
actually more annoying than the korean girls screaming
i've heard 0 from watching everything
i wish the player/hero roster on top also showed who's on nano or hacked
pick up the som-BRUH
danteh is still on the sum-BRAH
i want to see some spicy backcaps
bobbyboy is on it this round
nm lol
B9'd it
what is this stall
yikes
profit still enjoyed that
c9 battle
They held?
thats what she said
I feel like shock will choke again
san fran choke?
sup everyone
hey
well they cant get kills for shit
i wish there was a stats tracking channel
they relly on spawn advantage to win defence
you don't know about the tactical spray?
how?
it changes how the terrain looks so the enemy team is confused
it's all mind games bro
the tactical spray i know is seagull's spray trap
honestly though idk why either
maybe they use it to signal something
although i'm more convinced that it's a habit
yeah
or "we hold here"
or "supports don't cross this line"
or "tanks at least push up to here"
etc
nah,it's a habit i think
that was too close
gg
welp
i am mad even with a win
ugh this is only the second game of the day
ggwp
and already 11pm EST
what's next?
I mean it wasn't THAT close, besides that one game.
damn
a couple team fights away from map 5
valiant and uprising next
I mean the fact it got held that much
valiant vs boston does not interest me
uprisig just feels like discount nyxl for me
idk how i feel about valiant
if london didn't win that it would be extremely dissapointing.
oh man i'm so tired but kind of want to play overwatch
but i know the moment i log on, i'm gonna be like
fuck i want to sleep
lol
and i have like 30% desire to watch owl
make that 20% actually
I want to see Striker vs. Soon
CHOO CHOO
We finally get to see which team is more washed up
hey which team is the valiant a discount off brand of?
uprising is discount nyxl for me
I like watching owl more than playing ow
is shock a discount fusion
prettty much
i mean, uprising is pretty decent too
aren't they? i just assumed so because i don't watch them
and they're not fuel or shd
so i assumed they're doing alright
aren't they pretty bland middle of the road average team
but they're not good enough to beat better teams
which is why i kinda feel like they're the discount nyxl
although i wonder if seoul is actually a more balanced team than nyxl
not better or worse, but more balanced in aggression and defense
i do feel like nyxl is a bit more aggressive
but each have there own obvious weaknesses and strengths
NYXL is aggressive, Seoul is hybrid, and London is defensive
^
that's how they describe themselves, NYXL currently working on being more aggro
While London has always been a defensive team
okay those cannot be mousepads
that may be one of the reasons London seems to do well vs NYXL
maybe like monitor cleaner or just towel or something
London is really the only team so far that can consistently beat NYXL
have they played in stage 2?
Yeah idk, I guess it's because even though NYXL excels in being aggressive
it doesn't work vs a team which is just as good at defensive
Hmm no MVP interview?
doesn't seem like it
Idk if london has a translator
Google translator lol 😛
Gesture speaks english
Just hold the cellphone up
Profit doesnt
Ah
Yea that's pretty weak they'd skip that ..
they did that for gladiators.
blahblahblah
I dont think gestures english is good enough to translate
seoul has their own translator
I’m pretty sure they wanted to do an interview
They did one with surefour
It’s just that profit doesn’t know a word of english (you can see in stylosa’s videos)
i'm surprised OWL itself doesn't have a translator
It is somewhat surprising
it's probably incredibly easy to find a korean translator for dirt cheap
hell, i'll do it
Idk
i think they had someone translating at one point
if they do we def haven't seen him 
idk if she was a blizz employee
lol
Sexy Soon
I could just imagine being the translator
which "non-korean" team do you guys see converting to all koreans first
Valiant is so inconsistent
I mean
Gladiators
Hopefully none
They already half korean now
glads have 3 koreans right now?
cause I think the story of having to beat the 3 full korean team could work
4?
Ye
but idk
asher bischu fissure, i feel like i'm missing somebody
Teams get desperate
Outlaws has a korean now
oh snap who?
Which team has none
Hmm ..it's "Gahm soo" not Gam soo .... Like saying Tom, but Gom then Su ...
Arhan
are dragons just chinese players?
No dragons have 3 Koreans now too
3 koreans now
Chinese and new koreans
^
Mayhem also has a new korean
mayhem got 2 i think
Sinatraa technically korean
sayaplayer and awesomeguy
But american nationality
yeah i consider him US though
While are all these teams buying koreans can they not just tell they're players to do better 
So
i'm going by nationality lol
Shock only no korean team?
i guess so
Yea.. a lot of people don't know but Sinatraa is indeed Korean...
But seriously though
Korean -American
if owl goes full korean imma be dissapointed
i don't think owl will ever be "full korean"
granted there definitely will be teams that are full korean
They just so happen to be too OP
if everyone is op, then nobody is op
Eh
pretty much expensive apex
Majority of OWL is JV league compared to APEX
Not many good aussies
eh idk though... is current apex really better than owl?
LoserFruit -> Dallas Fuel confirmed
does contenders atleast have not that many koreans?
Does apex even still exist
Those within MLS playing against MLS is okay... but once MLS team goes against EPL...they get slaughtered
Contenders is region based p sure
but isn't owl the bigger league with stronger players moving in because of the big money
Just different flavors of style with gaps of talent.
Decent amt of koreans in contenders tho
Well we can see a definite gap in style and skills...Ex. Look at the top teams... Korean rosters ...
If anything they need to split OWL into two leagues lol
lol
Top half ...then bottom half
i mean, if they have enough teams, they just might separate into pacific and atlantic divisions
only like 3 teams not sorted
That's not what i mean.
where the divisions actually have a meaning
i feel like the skill tier division is pretty much owl vs contenders though
That and where the skills are around the same..
Because every season, we very well may just see the same teams over and over again.
NYXL, London, Seoul ...then LA Val, LA Glads etc..
is uprising the more consistent team
^
But uprising will beat a top team then lose to a bad one
which is the stronger team here tho
Valiant is the higher ranking team
holy shit
that was pretty sick tho
dayum
Clean house
jesus christ with Jason Born
i'd count that as a 4 man blade
dreamykazper
Dream made that look easy
Yeah normally Boston either 4-0'd a team or they get 0-4'd
winston took like 3 blade hits
Heads or tails
would have been a blade kill if he was a lower hp hero
amazing blade averaged out by 0 kill blade
LOL to ...two references to drinking today..."cocktails"... "6 packs" rofl
dude i was about to point that out 😦
were they referring to mercy as thank you?
yes
lol
its Merci = thank you in french
yes i know that
he's not even trying to pronounce it in english
@tawny sigil 😛
is mercy actually named merci in french client?
i don't think so
idk why but the korean client decided to make mercy similar to merci in french
mercy in french is a completly different word
pitié
i think the only reason they made mercy similar to merci in the korean client is because it sounds cooler
when pronounced in korean lol
i dont think korean people can pronounce Mer normally
its not something that come in their language i'd think
i mean it's not like "merci" is any easier
in korean, it's more merushi
Yea
asian peolpe have problems with Rs
but it'd be just as easy/difficult as saying muh shi
R's and L's ...typical in Eastern Asian languages
which is what it'd sound like if it was transliterated from mercy
the english pronunciation
yup yup
yea haha
i would have understood if mercy spoke french, which would make sense since she's swiss
It makes me cringe when people butcher names or words..
I always wanna call Unkoe as unko (which means shit or poop in Japanese)
but nope, she's a german speaking swiss
Kore wa unko desu ka? lol
Would be hilarious. Tempted to get his shirt and walk around Tokyo and see the dirty looks
ROFL
do it
Too expensive. Those shirts are like 80 bucks
do you guys think jake is a funny name?
to be an OWL player name
not as a regular first name
Nah
It's catchy, NA player, easy to remember = why it gets the attention lol
except he also has his family name included
jake's actual name IS jake, right/
?
would be hilarious if it wasn't
Unko
ryujehong gave birth to so many korean kids using their names as overwath name
overwatch
ryujehong and leetaejun
wish I could get paid to sit and act like a crowd while watching overwatch
