[hollow current]

semmler is trash

wtf

lol

[grizzled kayak]

but id rather see uber

[rare sonnet]

@fallow raven Because he says weird things sometimes

[gusty cipher]

sometimes

[fallow raven]

@tall sierra im counting ON YOU

[paper crag]

i do agree that it'd be better if it was just best of 5 or something though

[gusty cipher]

like 70% of the time

[rare sonnet]

new to the game

[paper crag]

but i guess there must be a reason why they have this 4 game with tiebreaker thing

[rare sonnet]

@fallow raven I like Semmler but i will admit he gets stuff wrong often

[grizzled kayak]

hex got top 500 on some seasons wtf

when did semmler get top 500?

🤔

[rare sonnet]

@paper crag its so they schedule is predictable

[gusty cipher]

it would be enough to know the basics

[hollow current]

semmler sounds super weird while talking, knows barely anything about the game and makes so many mistakes

[grizzled kayak]

lol

[fallow raven]

I watch a lot of pro sports and these guys are pretty good at casting imo\

[grizzled kayak]

i got nothing against semmler

[hollow current]

semmler is like a contenders lvl caster

[grizzled kayak]

i like hex

but uber is probably the best caster

[young sonnet]

My opinion is better than yours ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[grizzled kayak]

uber and monte

[paper crag]

isn't the typical casting team 1 expert and 1 hype guys anyway though

[hollow current]

i think mr x and semmler should be demoted to contenders tbh

[paper crag]

so if hex is the expert, semmler just needs to be the hype guy

[grizzled kayak]

eh

[hollow current]

semmler just hypes up at the wrong times

xD

[vestal berry]

here we go bitch

[grizzled kayak]

OUCH

[rare sonnet]

lol wtf hydration

[paper crag]

and kind of be the newb's advocate in the sense that he asks for explanations of important things

[rare sonnet]

jumpscare lmao

[paper crag]

i do wish there was a newb cast though

[gusty cipher]

mixing players up ☑ ☑
mixing abilties up ☑
saying stuff that isnt even remotely important during a big play ☑

[vestal berry]

note almost got bischu lul

[paper crag]

like a cast dedicated to new viewers who don't know anything about OW

or not much

[tall sierra]

@fallow raven ..hmm I think 8 Canadian players, which includes XQc...which would be ~6.5% ...

[whole mulch]

I wonder how many OWL viewers never played OW

[fallow raven]

REALLY THATS IT

[rare sonnet]

they want to keep all the viewers on one stream

[solar trout]

xD

[rare sonnet]

no no noob cast

[grizzled kayak]

oops

[idle beacon]

ASHER

[grizzled kayak]

asher wtf

[paper crag]

yeah but blizz is trying to pull people into the scene from outside of OW playerbase as well

[fallow raven]

8 players thats enough for our international team at the world cup so

ill take it

[lethal plank]

Gladiators cap % is hard to see

[tall sierra]

Yup

[gusty cipher]

compression

[tall sierra]

Bischu is Korean-Canadian btw...

[gusty cipher]

lul

[vestal berry]

striker got his 6 health

[paper crag]

Bischu is a Korean citizen afaik

[tall sierra]

He has dual I think..

[paper crag]

[tall sierra]

[paper crag]

permanent residency probably

[tall sierra]

[hollow current]

because shaz is tracer

[grizzled kayak]

hydration is actually a good lucio

[pearl cedar]

They did the a week ago

It's one of their strats

[grizzled kayak]

and goose is a better sombra than hydration

[paper crag]

oh okay. i don't know much about glads

[hollow current]

they gotta run this lineup for ilios

and asher is the only one that can play widow

[grizzled kayak]

and probably hydration wants to be patriotic

lol

[paper crag]

and i guess asher has to be widow

yeah

[hollow current]

and shaz is pretty good at genji/tracer

[grizzled kayak]

shaz is really good on some dps

[paper crag]

tanks literally the anchors of team comp

[gusty cipher]

shaz can play ow

[brisk roost]

I know right

[rare sonnet]

if boston win, they'll be 6-4 with a -1 map score

[brisk roost]

DIdn't know Shaz play some good Tracer

[rare sonnet]

weird af

[grizzled kayak]

i knew shaz could play a great genji

but didnt know about his tracer

[brisk roost]

I haven't seen Shaz play Genji yet

[tall sierra]

Shaz looks like he's from south america somewhere...yet Finnish by nationality from moving there perhaps?

I know a lot of Ecuadorian people who immigrated to Sweden...

So it could be.. hmm

[vestal berry]

last fight

[paper crag]

i thought kazper was pakistani or indian

[rare sonnet]

wtf if boston win they'll have some screwed up record

[hollow current]

shaz has a finnish name so could be adopted

[grizzled kayak]

he got an insane triple dash on the preseason against spitfire @brisk roost

[gusty cipher]

jesus christ you guys

[hollow current]

or half finnish half something else

[brisk roost]

Yeah RIP Glads smh

[dusty girder]

Boston 2 wins in 2 games over shit LA teams

[grizzled kayak]

GLADS SHOULD SIGN FITZY

[paper crag]

if you're talking about playoff chances

[tall sierra]

@brisk roost Shaz is Finnish by nationality, but ethnicity wise, he looks South American. That's what we were referring to... could have been adopted or family immigrated there...

[fluid dagger]

if boston starts performing better earlier in each stage, they'll find themselves in a playoff sooner rather than later

[brisk roost]

Yeah I was wondering what's his ethnicity too

[civic marsh]

shaz doesn't look south american wtf? isn't he the ginger one

[fluid dagger]

they need to fix their early stage weaknesses

[brisk roost]

Like his decent or somethin

[grizzled kayak]

@dusty girder tell me whos the shit LA team who beat london spitfire TWICE?

[dusty girder]

All of them

[onyx shore]

man

[grizzled kayak]

@civic marsh no lmao

[onyx shore]

who is the dress coordinator

[paper crag]

shaz is the hispanic looking big boi

[onyx shore]

sideshow should be fined for wearing that

[idle beacon]

sideshow should be fined for even exist

[paper crag]

honestly the panel should wear suits or something lol

[civic marsh]

i'm thinking of NotE

[tall sierra]

Striker is indeed so underrated ...he's super good

[fluid dagger]

Boston has been underrated since the team was announced, in general

[grizzled kayak]

[tall sierra]

Well deserved

He was on FIRE

[grizzled kayak]

[balmy wolf]

[grizzled kayak]

he used to switch cast colors every round or something

or every series

[fluid dagger]

Boombox respecting the Striker

[vagrant summit]

Erogenous lmao

[tall sierra]

Wow... those overall standings.

[vestal berry]

gladiators feelsbadman

[fluid dagger]

Boston might make end of season playoffs if they can carry this in to early stages

[tall sierra]

Boston needs to shake their early stage losing streaks

[brisk roost]

[fluid dagger]

big boss NYXL

[tall sierra]

NYXL vs London ... 3-1 tomrorow

[balmy wolf]

do you guys think pine will make an appearance tomorrow?

[tall sierra]

Those are my predictions

[brisk roost]

I just love how the whole Fusion team was watching rather than practicing for tomorrow 😂

[idle beacon]

that song sounded dope .. better than this fucked up lucio theme

[fluid dagger]

teams need a break man

[balmy wolf]

probably because they didnt know if they would still be in 3rd seed

[fluid dagger]

im sure they've been practicing all day

[brisk roost]

I know but I just found it funny

[balmy wolf]

^

[fluid dagger]

also, watching play isn't exactly the same as not working

[brisk roost]

I know since they gotta make tactics too in case the other team wins or somethin

[tall sierra]

Ok time for some OW and play D.VA before they nerf her. :/

Total rip

[fluid dagger]

for all you know philly is gonna bust out a sick Boston strat against london, Boston has beaten london before 😛

[tall sierra]

At least add to her health in ratio to the missile nerf or something

[brisk roost]

Can't wait for the Reaper buff

[tall sierra]

Ciao guys and gals..it has been fun...cya tomorrow..bright and early

[molten skiff]

[leaden quail]

this music is fire

[molten skiff]

the stage finals

[quiet shell]

Fuel might be trading Effect for Soon and Unkoe 🤔

[onyx shore]

nope

boston won geo

so it's london vs philly tomorrow

[quiet shell]

so London is going forward

London v NYXL for finals?

[onyx shore]

really? trading effect for soon and unkoe?

@quiet shell yeah

and then NYXL gonna choke again

[fading wasp]

I hadn't considered that player trades would be a thing in OWL

I mean, it makes sense

But I hadn't considered it

[onyx shore]

well

[quiet shell]

yeah theres rumors of talks for trading players between LAV and DF @formal vaporediaz#5606

[onyx shore]

the new team can just continue the contract

[fading wasp]

Yeah

[quiet shell]

LAV is trying to go full korean is my asumption

so they;re looking for a korean tracer specialist

hmm 1/2 of DF would be a rogue roster if that shit passess

idk what they're gonna do with Envy's half might break up the squad

[onyx shore]

why do i smell french fries takeover

akm,soon,and unkoe on the same team?

[quiet shell]

DF really needs to swap out Chips

[fading wasp]

why do I keep on reading DF as meaning "Defense Falaxy"

like

what

[onyx shore]

after soon,akm,and unkoe are in DF

they gonna kick the other and resurrect the rogue

[quiet shell]

find the rest of the french fries

Rogue didnt fair well against Korean teams back in apex

and that was in their prime

also Flower joining XL2

[onyx shore]

flow3r

goodbye pine,you wont see any play

still waiting for haksal

[quiet shell]

he's not 18 yet

[fading wasp]

Some solace

[quiet shell]

[fading wasp]

damn you

[quiet shell]

shakes hand at clouds

[fading wasp]

GERROF MY LAWN

Anyone watching Contenders? I've never seen it so I tuned in.

[quiet shell]

legit

xqc

is a walking twitch chat

every second work is a fuckin twitch emote said out loud

[fading wasp]

ahahahaha

[balmy wolf]

damn

does that mean he'll say trihard 7 to every black person he meets

[fading wasp]

I once met someone who said "lol" instead of actually laughing. I noped the fuck out of that interaction real quick.

[quiet shell]

"It was the owner who called the shot, Mike pogchamp, Mike pulled the full poggers. he asked that I was put in you know, and it worked out dude hellsyeah"

-XQC 2018

[onyx shore]

"wakawaka retires from overwatch"
"is that the guy who sings with shakira?" - xqc 2018

[fading wasp]

Yeah, the guy is better off as a streamer...

[quiet shell]

Geguri is in the US next week though

[onyx shore]

she's already in the usa dude

[quiet shell]

oh word

[onyx shore]

she was in the arena yesterday

[quiet shell]

when she starring

[onyx shore]

next stage

[quiet shell]

now that diya is in Chayna

[onyx shore]

diya is coming back

no word about undead though

[quiet shell]

undead is released i think

[onyx shore]

probably still busy raising the deleted fetus into his own undead minions

[fading wasp]

xQc doesn't seem like a bad guy. Just too immature for his own good.

[quiet shell]

sometimes

i think he's too smart for his own brain

so he just stutters xD

[onyx shore]

i mean

half of overwatch league drama

[quiet shell]

ever seen him trying to explain a strategy

[onyx shore]

won't even be a thing in other esports

[fading wasp]

I don't really know of much "drama" aside from the Fuel shitting the bed and their main tank position being cursed.

[quiet shell]

they put Taimou

on main tank dude

fuckin Taimou

and AKM on Genji

[onyx shore]

i've heard/seen so many "retard" thrown on dota2

nobody gets fined/fired bcos of that

[quiet shell]

OWL is the liberal clean version i guess

[onyx shore]

heck

[quiet shell]

Come on man

[onyx shore]

nobody give a shit about pepe emote

[quiet shell]

They created a whole hero because tumblr was complaining about the female physique of the heroes

"Male bodies are diverse and females all have long legs tight weists"

[onyx shore]

who? zarya?

[quiet shell]

yep

and mei

[fading wasp]

Mei isn't even fat. She's just wearing a winter coat.

[onyx shore]

yeah

[quiet shell]

tell that to tumblr xD

[onyx shore]

and this league is based on LA anyway

where it's ilegal to offend feelings

[quiet shell]

LA is the capital of Feelings>facts my dude

[fading wasp]

Like, anything that's supposed to keep you warm in Antarctica is gonna be a liiiiiiittle bulky

[quiet shell]

you can get finned for saying "black paint"

[fading wasp]

As for the fines and such, Blizzard is going for the mass market, and are gonna go into full PR mode if they see something that might damage their brand in that market.

[onyx shore]

what do you say?

colored paint?

[quiet shell]

urban? XD

[onyx shore]

seriously

i wonder if a famous alt-right figure starts playing overwatch and use a certain hero as his/her main persona

i wonder if blizzard gonna remove the hero

[quiet shell]

can you imagine

Alex Jones

playing Reinhardt

[onyx shore]

[quiet shell]

"We regret to inform you that we are retiring Reinhardt as a hero. We see him as being too old and he can use the rest"

[fading wasp]

This convo is getting to the point where it's difficult to even tangentially relate this to esports

[quiet shell]

its getting there

[warped axle]

Is there any chance Philly win playoffs

[fading wasp]

N Y X L

[onyx shore]

they beat nyxl at stage 1,right?

well

i think it's 70:30

[warped axle]

That's not the issue

[onyx shore]

philly has a chance

if they play shadowburn

[warped axle]

Philly has never taken a game off Spitfire

[quiet shell]

EQO has been performing great though

i hear he shotcalls for them in the front line

calls out dives and what not

[onyx shore]

if i'm the coach,i'll take the experienced veteran

[quiet shell]

where as SHB was more silent and following the tanks

still got the job done though

[warped axle]

EQO wasn't in either game against Spitfire

[quiet shell]

what happened to Seagulls genji

[warped axle]

And they got 0-4d twice with SDB

[quiet shell]

dude was nutty back in the day on taht hero

[warped axle]

I say try EQO

[onyx shore]

long story short

rascal is better

[fading wasp]

I'm watching Contenders right now, and this one guy is coming out with some Sombra play on par with Silvers I play with... Like, the aim is good, but jesus christ this dude is choking to hell and back.

[brazen loom]

I was really rooting for gladiators to win tonight

[quiet shell]

i like them but they stood no chance in playoffs

[warped axle]

Why do you think that

[quiet shell]

although they beat Spitfire

Inconsistent

they are very inconsistent

[brazen loom]

I feel like they may very well be the best team in the league tbh

[warped axle]

One bad loss doesn't mean they're inconsistent

[brazen loom]

Asher was killing it vs striker

[fading wasp]

oh my fucking god the jlulke spam is even in the contenders chat. There is no escape.

[quiet shell]

idk mate i like their new tank though

Fissure is kicking ass

[brazen loom]

He really is!!

[ruby pendant]

How can Gladiators get better?

[brazen loom]

He had half the deaths of the opposing Winston most of the time

[quiet shell]

hire effect

swap him in for surefour

im looking forward to OGE tbh

that dude is a beast tank

too bad he's supsended for 4 games

[ruby pendant]

@quiet shell Which team?

[clear mirage]

hes signed to fuel

[ruby pendant]

k

[quiet shell]

Dallas' main tank role is cursed

[ruby pendant]

lol

Wonder if teams will use Brigitte. She gives decent armor.

[quiet shell]

She has great self sustain

[ruby pendant]

Yea like a semi tank

[quiet shell]

maybe not on heal slot

they might play her as an off tank

or on a brawling team comp

like Mei Reaper

[fading wasp]

I'd think they'd place her in a spot similarly to how they'd place Mei, though with different utility

[quiet shell]

run her with Lucio Rein and Zarya

[ruby pendant]

I'm looking forward to stage 4 then

[quiet shell]

she'll be live in stage 4?

[ruby pendant]

That's what I heard from someone else, might not be true

[fading wasp]

Yes. She'll be live stage 4.

[quiet shell]

well thats like

[fading wasp]

That's what I was linked

[quiet shell]

2 months away xD

[ruby pendant]

@fading wasp thanks

[fading wasp]

Not long at all

[quiet shell]

nahhh

[lethal tendon]

I mean season 10 is in may or June right

It’s not surprising she won’t be in for stage 3

[torpid charm]

still laughing because Glad tried to get their dignity back with a reverse sweep and lost

[lethal tendon]

Since she won’t be in comp until season 10

[quiet shell]

man as a rein main im so looking forward to que with brigitta players

[paper crag]

So stage title matches will always be western team vs London, then London vs NY and Londonnwins

Seoul will always be mentioned as a possibility then get pushed out at the end

[torpid charm]

I'm hoping London doesn't win again

[paper crag]

Same

[torpid charm]

Houston and Boston helped the fuck outta Philly, I'm so happy

[ruby pendant]

Who knows, many of the teams have been getting better. There could be upsets. Only team that needs to improve as well is the Dragons.

[quiet shell]

and Fuel

[brisk roost]

Well what can we say except you're welcome 😄

[quiet shell]

I think NYXL will take it this stage

[torpid charm]

only time I've ever rooted for Houston and Boston, lol.

[onyx shore]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/86xwxy/akm_on_the_hate_received_and_filling_in_for_rascal/

oh yes the drama

[torpid charm]

I'm really really really really hoping that I can watch the matches tomorrow because I'm supposed to going prom dress shopping, I'll be streaming it either way. can't wait to wear my Fusion shirt tomorrow

oh ya I saw that

[paper crag]

lol

you thought fuel resolved its drama and was on its way to just focusing on the game?

think again!

[onyx shore]

way to throw your team mate under the bus

[paper crag]

seriously though, is akm basically calling out rascal for being a dva who ruined the team

[torpid charm]

Dallas always providing me with the tea that I need

[onyx shore]

grudge match 1v1

best of 5 widow v widow?

[paper crag]

seagull is the dva who saved the team tho

10/10 would agree

[onyx shore]

like srsly

[torpid charm]

nah I thought that's because of the whole Genji thing?

[paper crag]

oh SHIT

[quiet shell]

its true though

Kyky threw Rascal under the bus too

[paper crag]

i just realized i said "dva" instead of diva

[quiet shell]

Rascal didnt feel like playing that day

[paper crag]

for the rascal part

wtf is my life

[torpid charm]

whut

[onyx shore]

well,even in the name of transparency

i think there are some shit you shouldn't air on public

[torpid charm]

yes

[paper crag]

so what is this whole thing? do we know anything about rascal not playing one day?

[onyx shore]

not that i'm complaining though

[paper crag]

this is my first time hearing it

[brisk roost]

[onyx shore]

imo

rascal refused to play unless DF field a better tank lineups

so,AKM fill for him instead

[paper crag]

lol maybe

[onyx shore]

and proceed to get the hate

[paper crag]

"uhhh i played with gesture and fissure... i ain't playing with this shit right now"

when was the last time harryhook played btw?

i feel like that's been a while too

[quiet shell]

they need to sub him in for chips

dude's a mean ana and lucio

i dont know why they aint playing him on Lucio

and Custa on zen

[paper crag]

huh so i just read a bit more on the akm thing

he not only threw rascal under the bus but also the tanks

that's a sure way to build rapport with your tanks so your teamwork will be impeccable the next chance you get to play with them

right?

[verbal roost]

How much longer until stage 3?

[onyx shore]

@paper crag no wonder rogue is no more,right?

[quiet shell]

Unkoe is a tilted twat lol

he yells at his team mates

[paper crag]

i wasn't really paying attention to the scene back then. what happened?

[quiet shell]

thats why LAV want to trade him

[torpid charm]

forreal? that's crazy

[quiet shell]

Rogue was doing good but they ran one strat, their dive. People especially korean teams learned how to counter it

just look at Apex season 3

[onyx shore]

isn't it interesting that

unkoe and soon are LAV players

where the owner is also toxic

lul

[paper crag]

what's this with LAV now

are they also having drama

is end-of-a-stage-drama gonna be a thing now

[onyx shore]

@paper crag https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/86pv24/that_agilities_clip_was_in_poor_taste_why/

tl:dw = the owner of LAV sits with agilities and give him the last chance to prove himself on the team

it's recorded on video and uploaded to LAV youtube channel

[paper crag]

oh yeah i saw that

he was the owner? lol

i thought it was a coach or something

[torpid charm]

yeah, Noah Whinston is the team CEO

[knotty acorn]

Agilities and Noah have to be in on it

They wouldn't record something like that without knowing these sorts of things

[paper crag]

yeah it felt way too scripted

[onyx shore]

well

if it's scripted

they basically edited the footage,and then reviewed it,and said "yep,this is good"

"lets upload it"

still dumb though

[late crow]

how did nyxl vs la go

i had to run to work, but soon was destroying on widow the offense that i watched

[onyx shore]

nyxl rekt valiant 4-0

[indigo barn]

Valiant lost their virginity

[late crow]

i expected the 4-0 but that first offense looked crushing

[indigo barn]

Nyxl went all three holes

First push usually looks promising

And then nyxl comes back and demolished them

[late crow]

it was like 25 kills to 2 in la's favor when i left

like nyxl was taken behind the shed

[torpid charm]

really hoping for a Fusion W tomorrow. even if they don't beat London, as long as it's not a slaughter I'm fine

[indigo barn]

Someone said it was all mind games, whoever it was, was right

I can’t say for sure but to me it looked like nyxl gave them false hope at the start

Like they “allowed” a generous 4 minute time bank

[late crow]

lol

[indigo barn]

It was again a moment of underestimating nyxl

[torpid charm]

Glad also got fucked imo

[indigo barn]

Nyxl new they could take it in a similar time

Yeah how was that last control map

The ilios game 5

[torpid charm]

wild

[indigo barn]

A good overall game then I guess

[torpid charm]

I was a little outta it so I wasn't paying attention but there were some tense moments

good to watch though

[late crow]

oh what was the tldr of boston vs glad

[indigo barn]

Didn’t expect this Boston win

But at least philly is secured

Boston only had to take 1 mqp

Instead they win the game lmao

[late crow]

lol

[torpid charm]

tldr Boston vs. Glad:
Glad got their asses eaten on the first two maps
tried to pull off a reverse sweep to save their dignity
fight on Illios, got cucked, lost 3-2

[indigo barn]

They couldn’t handle the dive

[torpid charm]

they fell apart, it looked bad

they just gave up

[late crow]

i'm glad i got to watch london vs df

[indigo barn]

But now philly has to go through london

[torpid charm]

I don't even remember what happened with the Dallas game

[late crow]

df looking promising with taimou on the bench

[torpid charm]

I'm really PRAYING Philly doesn't get dumpstered

[indigo barn]

Philly got 0-4ed by london

La glad beat london

[torpid charm]

twice

[late crow]

london's my favorite team

[indigo barn]

But if they can beat london

[late crow]

show philly the dumpster

[torpid charm]

every time Philly plays London they look like straight shit.

[indigo barn]

I believe they can get through nyxl again

But they gotta go through London first

[late crow]

london to the top pls

[indigo barn]

No not again wtf

[torpid charm]

no, no London win again

[indigo barn]

London wins all 4 stage titles smh

[torpid charm]

I'm fine with it being two Korean teams but pls no London again

[late crow]

l o n d o n

embrace it

[indigo barn]

Philly must be training hardcore rn

[torpid charm]

THEY BETTER BE

[indigo barn]

They need shadowburn man

[jagged crater]

dank memes cant dank

[indigo barn]

In that stage 1 game

[torpid charm]

SDB better be on control

[indigo barn]

Shadowburn outplayed libero on genji in every way

He had the bigger blades

[torpid charm]

does anyone know what maps are being played? I saw but only remember Nepal which is also Philly'a weakest map

[indigo barn]

No we can’t know yet

[torpid charm]

no they're up

[indigo barn]

What are they

[torpid charm]

that's why I'm asking, lol

[indigo barn]

Any nepal

[torpid charm]

can't check rn but they're on OWL

[indigo barn]

Oh sht

[torpid charm]

Nepal is the only one I remember

[indigo barn]

Idk u can check

That’s cook

Cool

I guess since subs are predefined then they gotta see what maps are on

[torpid charm]

yeah you gotta do it early during the map before hand

[indigo barn]

Or you can just keep shadowburn in all 5 games

🤷

they play eqo and snillo for all games

[torpid charm]

putting my faith in Kirby, Hwi, and Haynes to play SDB on control and hoping they don't all play the "ignore Pharah" strat

[indigo barn]

Shadowburn is just smarter

He is the OG genji

[torpid charm]

I love both of my Genji boys

[indigo barn]

U love everyone in owl

[torpid charm]

Boombox was at the desk for the end of Boston vs. Glad and I'm so sad I didn't see him

[indigo barn]

Aw

[late crow]

can someone explain the owl stages to me

[torpid charm]

YES I DO LOVE EVERYONE IN OWL

[late crow]

i've only very recently been following

[indigo barn]

There are stages simply so that there can be stage titles

[torpid charm]

10 games per stages, playoff between the top 3 team at the end of each stage

[indigo barn]

And with stage titles u get just bragging rights and moneu

[torpid charm]

^^

[late crow]

what stage are we now

[indigo barn]

Deux

[late crow]

who won stage one

[indigo barn]

London dude

[late crow]

yaaa

[indigo barn]

Probably will win again

Smh

[torpid charm]

I hope not

[late crow]

i'm just a birdring fan

[indigo barn]

Heck yeah man

Arguably best dps in the league

[onyx shore]

they should do end of season awards for each roles

and then MVP

Twitter

[silk linden]

The only player who's the best at a certain hero that Dallas have is Rascal, the best Mei in OWL

[silk linden]

As for best players at some hero who aren't currently in OWL, I can think of Chipsa on doomfist and maybe dafran on soldier

Oh right, Stevoo on symmetra of course

[forest raven]

BRUCEZULUL > Chipsa

[rancid crest]

Symmetra

[silk linden]

Taimou best torbjorn in OWL

[rustic wyvern]

but only a true swede can master the powers of torbjörn

[gaunt acorn]

mangachu best torbjorn in contenders

[silk linden]

Was dreamkazper in the last world cup?

He's probably guaranteed to be in the next now

[gaunt acorn]

doesn't matter so long as he's on the same team as mr 150k

No way that Philly beat London in playoffs

[torpid charm]

I can only hope for a Philly W. if they go 0-4 by London, I hope they don't get dumpstered.

[trail matrix]

Philly is the only team that can stand up to those teams other than Gladiators or Houston right now.

[balmy wolf]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvtOIyDppVI

[silk linden]

@THUND3R#4493 and DALLAS FUEL

Only non full Korean team to never get swept by a full Korean team

Dallas Fuel, only team capable of narrowly losing to anyone

They make NYXL look like Shanghai and Shanghai look like NYXL

Theyre the great equalizer

[deft valley]

tfw Philly literally defeated NY and Shanghai by the same score in consecutive days

Get off our turf dallas

[silk linden]

When is the Dennis Hawelka award assigned btw? End of regular season?

[brisk roost]

I hope Philly beats London yo

Aim for that second place at least

If lucky they gon beat NYXL

[silk linden]

Please NYXL don't choke

[deft valley]

oh please do

[silk linden]

They deserve the big win

[torpid charm]

if not Philly, then I hope NYXL

[deft valley]

divisions = balanced https://i.imgur.com/EpzT8sP.png

[silk linden]

Yep

[brisk roost]

Mhmm

[silk linden]

I blame dallas

And the LA teams

[deft valley]

memehem ruining the atl domination
and LAG still at 8th even with the second stage they had

[torpid charm]

I forgot that Florida was in the ATL division

[silk linden]

Houston, Boston and Philly all on the same side as the big Korean teams

[deft valley]

well the thing is
no one predicted philly and boston

well okay some people predicted philly

but the hype western teams were the texans

and I'm pretty sure seoul was powerranked as the #1 koreans too

but the entirety of pac underperformed

[silk linden]

I wonder what surprises stage 3 will bring. Probably not as many as stage 2, since there won't be such a meta changing patch like the mercy nerf

I see stage 3 as a continuation of 2

[deft valley]

the meta should be pretty similar, I could see some shakeups from rosters though

like dragons winning a game

[silk linden]

With glads,Philly and mayhem on the rise, Dallas, Boston, Houston and Seoul maybe keeping their shit together more

London and NYXL still dominating

Valiant probably still in a shitty situation

And Shangai i honestly don't know

[torpid charm]

[silk linden]

Who would Shanghai even win against?

Shock?

Valiant?

[red anvil]

Depends, we'll see.

Any of the shaky teams can fall to Dragons

[torpid charm]

I was hoping they could take Dallas down but with Taimou still taking a shit, they've been doing better so Shock I hope

[onyx shore]

it's either dallas or shock or mayhem

[brisk roost]

Most likely Dallas but Shock and Mayhem could fall for them too

What's going on with he fuel now?

[young sonnet]

Drama as always

Tbh i don't know

[brisk roost]

Yeah they have so much drama yo

Smh

[torpid charm]

they give me my daily dose of tea so thanks Dallas for being drama queens

[silk linden]

yeah I agree tbh

they're an endless supply of 🍿

[torpid charm]

[slim summit]

London and Philly are my favorite teams

[limber pine]

Philly got 4-0'ed by London in the regular season

hopefully this time goes better

[torpid charm]

yes, I have much hope and faith

[indigo barn]

or they could get 4-0'ed again

🤷

that would suck to get 4-0'ed in a stage title match

[magic zinc]

Oh play-offs are at European time?

Hallelujah

[silk linden]

you know who never got 4-0d by London?

DALLAS FUEL

[young sonnet]

Why have the games at 9 an 11 when you could of had the same times as yesterday?

[silk linden]

they need to be good for the koreans

[magic zinc]

10 and 12 here rip

[silk linden]

could be worse

[magic zinc]

But with the time change it'll feel like 9 and 11 <3

[silk linden]

I have to wake up at 8 tomorrow, but could be worse

[magic zinc]

Oh for sure, every group game bar Saturday was unwatchable

[young sonnet]

I have to wake up at 6

[torpid charm]

4 p.m. and 6 p.m. for me which is perfect but I've got hella stuff to do

[grizzled kayak]

yo guys i got a question

did pine get any playtime in stage 2?

i didnt see him play at all

[magic zinc]

Week 1

[slim summit]

Pretty sure he was played in the week 1 match against London

and kept being outplayed by Birdring

[young sonnet]

Isn't he in a different country?

or am i smoking

[grizzled kayak]

oh

[north tendon]

is the final 2 hours after the spitfire vs philly game?

I thought they were avoiding that

[grizzled kayak]

eh

[north tendon]

huh

[slim summit]

the spitfire vs philly game also a final

both are title matches

they avoided having London play 14 games in a single day by moving the title matches to Sunday

[north tendon]

I meant the stage 2 winner

ok but thats still playing another game right after

[slim summit]

yes

would you have them do one of each title match on Sunday and Monday?

[north tendon]

I thought that was the plan, yeah

makes it seem more grand

but if its a top spot benefit

then I guess its fair in that regard

im just wondering if this is what nate wanted

or are more changes coming later

[slim summit]

I doubt there will be more changes

[north tendon]

alright well this isnt too bad I guess then

one can argue the winning team would be warmed up by the time they face nyxl

[slim summit]

I'm sure NYXL will be scrimming backstage at the same time

[balmy wolf]

Bring xqc back

[north tendon]

oh I dont know how scrims work there

but if so thats nice

[torpid charm]

#xQcForShock

[north beacon]

if you distributed the OWL teams across each rank would NY and london be the only ones in GM?

[grizzled kayak]

probably

seoul would be masters with some others

like outlaws glads and fusion

[north beacon]

yeah i agree. just a general feeling when the teams play each other and when some teams get completely outclassed

[grizzled kayak]

lol

[slim summit]

Dallas would be bronze

[grizzled kayak]

dragons would

dallas is that guy whos constantly climbing and dropping

[slim summit]

Dragons <500

[grizzled kayak]

top sr 4500 lowest 10

[north beacon]

dragons are more like a 6 stack that usually only plays QP and decided to go into comp for the first time

geguri will be in their 1st stage 3 game i think

she had already arrived at the us in their last game

but jet lag and stuff

[balmy wolf]

yee
but hopefully when stage 3 comes around they;ll perform better

but i have a feeling that they'll still be the same...
