civic marsh
#

temportals is getting irrationally mad about this for some reason

warm quartz
#

She could have stopped at any time and didnt

hazy arrow
#

Well, she seems to want that attention

deft valley
#

this is literal victim blaming at this point

warm quartz
#

Thats on her and will eventually bite her

deft valley
#

you don't say

unborn portal
#

She’s a victim but she’s also an idiot

limber pine
#

Temporals really?

unborn portal
#

She knew what was going on

warm quartz
#

Hmm? I’m simply stating it will eventually come back to bite her

deft valley
#

she's also fucking 14

warm quartz
#

Im not wrong, correct?

limber pine
#

who cares

forest jackal
#

Do people really not realize how fucked up it is for a CELEBRITY to use his CELEBRITY status to attempt to FUCK 14 year olds.

limber pine
#

let's move on now

#

for real

stuck meadow
#

Anyone saying the girl is not in the wrong at all is delusional af

forest jackal
#

I dont give a fuck about the 14 year old

deft valley
#

teenagers being stupid is the reason we have consent laws

civic marsh
#

thank u @forest jackal

warm quartz
#

Romeo and juliet laws!

forest jackal
#

I care about someone using their power to fuck 14 year olds.

warm quartz
#

For example!

deft valley
#

"but she's stupid" is not a reason that he's not a creep

stuck meadow
#

@forest jackal Fuck? Fuck? All he did was be some cringy ass weirdo in dm's

nova pelican
#

no one is saying he's not a creep

stuck meadow
#

Dont get me wrong

forest jackal
#

I said attempt to fuck

stuck meadow
#

Hes fucking weird

vagrant niche
#

so it's official now

deft valley
#

@stuck meadow attempt

vagrant niche
#

he's a real pedo

forest jackal
#

and allegedly there's video sexting shit

#

but

warm quartz
#

And why in most High school handbooks the rules for dances say “no 21+ 20 or younger only”

forest jackal
#

who knows

stuck meadow
#

When did he attempt to meet up and fuck her

deft valley
#

that's grooming

warm quartz
#

But lets move on

hazy arrow
#

Alright, if you were sending nudes to strangers when you were 14, say "dreamkazperdidnothingwrong"

vagrant niche
#

they terminated his contract

deft valley
#

@hazy arrow does that count if the stranger was 15

forest jackal
#

IMO

pearl stratus
#

They were going to terminate his contract regardless of guilt

forest jackal
#

legally he's in the clear

oak schooner
#

legally

forest jackal
#

I dont think he did anything legally wrong

hazy arrow
#

Yep

forest jackal
#

but morally

#

lol yeah no bye

civic marsh
#

there are allegations of nudes exchanged so

hazy arrow
#

It does count

civic marsh
#

he might not be in the clear

pearl stratus
#

Neither would she if his lawyers are smart.

#

So they'll both ignore it most likely.

nova pelican
#

if they find cp on his electronics then...

deft valley
#

fucking what

stuck meadow
#

Welp hes fucked

rancid crest
#

More dreamkazper allegations

stuck meadow
#

but hopefully hes not that retarded

fresh turret
#

oh we back to this

forest jackal
#

@nova pelican You'd have to be a fucking retard to not shoot 00 buck through your harddrives if you had CP in this situation

rancid crest
#

Can i post link here ?

fresh turret
#

fantastic

fresh turret
#

great

forest jackal
#

yeah

warm quartz
#

GREAT

nova pelican
#

well kazper isnt exactly the smartest

stuck meadow
#

A 2nd victim?

warm quartz
#

LOL

pearl stratus
#

The second victim was hours ago.

stuck meadow
#

Fake tbh

nova pelican
#

so who knows

pearl stratus
#

Old news.

forest jackal
#

that was also 100 percent grooming

rancid crest
#

Yeah found out from a post in Facebook

warm quartz
#

It might be someone piggy backing so

forest jackal
#

once again it could be false yeah

rancid crest
#

True

hazy arrow
#

16yo are mature enough to talk about guns and basically change the whole politics but 14yo is not smart enough to not send nudes to strangers. L-O-L

fresh turret
#

not great btw, sarcastic (although it isn't the time for that)

forest jackal
#

But we gotta remember that Blizz is a private organization and he's at "will" employement

stuck meadow
#

Theres always multiple victims when it comes to this shit man

nova pelican
#

she could be a fellow outlaw slut member

pearl stratus
#

The heavy article also mistates the age of the first girl.

#

So its a bit rushed.

lament dune
#

Never assume piggybacking

silk linden
#

Imagine if this had happened before the Megyn kelly interview and she had brought it up to jake NotLikeSoldier

stuck meadow
#

You serious? ^

rancid crest
#

Both stuff could all be photoshopped

#

Just saying

pearl stratus
#

I mean either way.

#

He's out of the league.

#

So it doesn't really matter anymore.

#

In terms of this channel.

warm quartz
#

I’m assuming piggy backing until screenshots and other proof are shown.

#

solid proof

deft valley
#

AAAANYWAYY
EU Contenters is going on right now

#

can we discuss that

warm quartz
#

Ooo is it?

#

Who’s on rn!

rancid crest
#

Yes

pearl stratus
#

No.

#

EU is full of garbage people.

rancid crest
#

Tracer sombra

stuck meadow
#

Sure

nova pelican
#

megyn kelley might try to fuck on jake

deft valley
#

bazooka vs Y&B

pearl stratus
#

With their bicycles.

nova pelican
#

based on the interview

warm quartz
#

Oof

forest jackal
#

Drama discussion only

deft valley
#

I'm seeing a decent amount of sombra

fresh turret
#

drama-discussion

warm quartz
#

Is contenders just sombra cancer

deft valley
#

and liking it

pearl stratus
#

I'm the Ron Swanson of EU.

deft valley
#

there's a bit of her but she's not everywhere

pearl stratus
#

hazy arrow
#

Is there anybody else who after watching OWL isnt hyped up for Contenders? i would like to watch that but it just isnt like OWL

warm quartz
#

Do we have data on how often she’s popped up on contenders?

pearl stratus
#

Contenders gets less rigid comps.

nova pelican
#

contenders is boring imo

pearl stratus
#

So it can be more fun.

deft valley
#

i think winstonslab has it

pearl stratus
#

Like Mangachu pulling out an attack torb.

#

To shit all over Floridas Contenders team

#

Since they're horrible.

fresh turret
#

that attack torb

#

holy fuck

deft valley
#

there's a guy on y&b balling out on hanzo lmao

fresh turret
#

the disrespect that can be had in contenders is dumb

pearl stratus
#

There's a much larger skill gap between teams in contenders.

#

Is why.

deft valley
#

no wai?

#

the actually good teams aren't afraid to play around with the comps when they play each other too though

pearl stratus
#

But they don't run an attack torb unless they mean disrespect.

deft valley
#

like it's not attack-torb level

#

but less rigid than OWL's basically four comps

#

in which four heroes are all the same

pearl stratus
#

Yeah its less rigid.

#

THough sadly its less rigid because thanks to the OWL.

#

Contenders really doesn't matter anymore lol

stuck meadow
#

Still waiting for the day I see torb on attack in OWL

pearl stratus
#

They're fun to watch, but everyone knows its just the minor leagues for OWL now.

deft valley
#

so?

pearl stratus
#

Just saying why you get some weirder comps.

#

Because there's little/no risk.

deft valley
#

people watch actual minor leagues

#

"mattering" doesn't matter much itself

#

it's not like they don't play to win

pearl stratus
#

You have a few small teams that could be bought by orgs, but most likely people will be bought off piece by piece from teams.

#

TEENGRAZPER

fresh turret
#

How many even matchups are possible in contenders?

#

ok then

#

I guess we're going there again

limber pine
#

what do you mean "even matchups"?

pearl stratus
#

Four years late and after he's been released.

#

Old news.

#

@fresh turret There's a bunch of decent match ups, but its a bit harder to tell on average for casual view because suddenly latency matters again.

#

KR contenders actually tend to all be close matches.

grizzled trout
#

anything different with him since last night

#

oof

#

fiondfidsondsnjfds

#

i get the situation but im sad for him not because of the fact if he did it or not just because its talent wasted

silk linden
#

also he was such a big figure

#

an inspiration

#

the face of US overwatch with Jake

grizzled trout
#

seemed nice he went to all team signings and stuff

steep robin
#

Mangachu to boston

limber pine
#

signing period is over

steep robin
#

for next season

limber pine
#

assuming you're serious

#

ah k

steep robin
#

nah he is the next best NA pharah

silk linden
#

have we seen any Torb in stages 2 and 3?

steep robin
#

one or two uses I think

grizzled trout
#

esca comes back lol

#

i remember that apex s3 trans bait

#

where is luffy?

#

oh he's still kongdoo

steep robin
#

I think manga might still be the best, but you might be right, it might be talespin

maiden cairn
#

Dreamkazper out, that freaking pedo.

steep robin
#

^

#

I think he had issues socially tho

#

he said something about private school

#

and I had friends who were super weird with girls because of that

maiden cairn
#

xqc broke the owl conduct rules
dreamkazper broke a federal law ( i think )

steep robin
#

all boys schools fuck over a lot of of kids who dont talk to people out of school

#

but I am assuming a lot with that

warm quartz
#

Not an excuse.

steep robin
#

and he didnt break any i dont thin

maiden cairn
#

who

steep robin
#

unless there is proof that hhe exposed himself

maiden cairn
#

dreamkazper?

steep robin
#

and if he still has the pics from her

#

she also broke laws tho

#

if he asks

#

then yeah

#

I didnt see any sc of him asking tho

maiden cairn
#

why would boston terminate a contract if he was inno?

steep robin
#

no its obv wrong

vagrant niche
#

he said he wanted jaw dropping pics

limber pine
#

at this point it doesn't matter

warm quartz
#

He's 21, first of all. That breaks the 13-20 age of consent laws. Romeo and juliet laws. So yes, he did break a law.

steep robin
#

but idk if he can be convicted

vagrant niche
#

to the 16 year old

warm quartz
#

Consent applying to dating, flirting, ect.

limber pine
#

Sports teams terminate contracts all the time before guilt or innocence is determined (in the eyes of the law)

steep robin
#

no i mean idk if there is litteral proof that he asked for pictures, he can flirt and talk but sexual pictures and soliciting them is illegal

warm quartz
#

It's why most high school handbooks for prom and dances say "No attendees 21 or older."

#

Because of those romeo and juliet laws.

steep robin
#

different in different states

#

i think it is 19 in NY

warm quartz
#

It applies to most states.

steep robin
#

yeah I dont think he can get convicted tho

warm quartz
#

Standard age is 20 across the US. 19 in some, 18 in some

#

I'm speaking specifically about romeo and juliet laws

hazy arrow
#

20? wtf

steep robin
#

My ex who is 16 is dating a 20 year old

warm quartz
#

Which is usually 13-18, however, if they are age of consent (such as 16/17,) then it is 20.

#

It varies from state to state however.

#

I had to do my research on my laws when i wanted to date a senior lol

steep robin
#

lmaoooo

warm quartz
#

(Senior in high school)

steep robin
#

yeah I get you

warm quartz
#

To make sure we weren't breaking any laws by dating.

#

There are high school exceptions in some states

pliant magnet
#

In israel the age of consent is 14 and till you are 15 or 16 i don't remember you can have only a 3 years gap

warm quartz
#

Such as "Until graduation of high school of your first senior year with no additional years of being held back"

pearl stratus
#

Boston is a Kraft Org.

#

They're known for cutting off their players.

#

Bad publicity typically means you're on your own.

#

Unless they're completely assured of innocence.

pliant magnet
#

I wonder
If any other player (as she said they played with her) knew about what is happening and did nothing

pearl stratus
#

Won't know, and we won't hear much more about it since he's released.

torpid charm
#

goodbye Dreamkazper

silk linden
#

wonder how Ark is handling it

balmy wolf
#

Staff on?

scarlet spear
#

man busy all day and i get back to almost a days worth of new DK drama GWqlabsFeelsGoodMan

pearl stratus
#

I mean there's really no more drama. He got released.

vagrant niche
#

you been late, it started yesterday

pearl stratus
#

It's over.

silk linden
#

his release was like less than an hour ago

indigo barn
#

Boston continues to rise then

scarlet spear
#

i got to catch up with the story of the 2nd girl at least

pearl stratus
#

Second girl one is swiss cheese.

scarlet spear
#

yeah

pearl stratus
#

Lots of holes in the plot.

scarlet spear
#

pretty boring

#

theres about nothing except those 2 images i guess

pearl stratus
#

And a plane ticket, but I've seen stupid guys spend way more because they're socially retarded.

pliant magnet
#

I know that this is weird asf for me to think, but if she played with the boston, she probably couldn't keep with them
Or they coached her
Or they trained her
Or she was good from the start
Or she is just terrible and couldn't keep up with them

pearl stratus
#

Wat.

#

She's a fan.

#

What are you even saying.

#

None of those are things that make sense.

pliant magnet
#

I know

#

just random thoughts

pearl stratus
#

I helped Tom Bradys nanny once at my store.

forest jackal
#

girls

#

esports

pearl stratus
#

Doesn't mean I'm suddenly playing linebacker.

forest jackal
#

ever happening ever

pliant magnet
#

Also who is second girl? I didn't hear about that

deft valley
#

@forest jackal >one literally already in owl

forest jackal
#

1 out of the entire roster

#

also

#

OWL

vagrant niche
#

can't wait to see the spam of TriHard 14 on the league Wedn.

#

it's going to be real

pearl stratus
#

I'll just join my non-welfare chat.

#

Let you peasants spam your emotes.

twin dove
#

lol

deft valley
#

1>0 last I checked

forest jackal
#

barely

#

It's kinda curious as to why though

deft valley
#

nice backtrack

pearl stratus
#

Congrats?

#

You both know how math works.

forest jackal
#

Still none in any NA teams tho

deft valley
#

you know you don't have to butt into every convo right

pearl stratus
#

Social acceptability of women in gaming and dealing with the shitfucks of men in it.

forest jackal
#

I mean the thing is

#

You'd think that pro gaming would be pretty evenly split

pearl stratus
#

I wouldn't.

forest jackal
#

because there aren't any OBVIOUS physiological differences between men and women where one would be better at shooters

#

I dont think.

#

It'd be curious to try and figure out why

#

I mean

deft valley
#

even if there aren't any physical difference (which is debatable, different perception and everything)

#

there's massive cultural split

forest jackal
#

I mean yeah

pearl stratus
#

It's more a societal difference and accepted practice; girls playing games is a cultural weirdness.

forest jackal
#

I dont disagree

#

Eh

#

I dont think that's really that much of a case anymore

#

I mean

#

tbh

deft valley
#

it's a recent development

forest jackal
#

most players are what like

pearl stratus
#

The average age for a girl to start "gaming" has gone down, but its not at the same point as a guy.

forest jackal
#

21-23

#

so yeah

#

that's very true.

#

I think in the next 5-7 years we'll see more

pearl stratus
#

Most of the pro gamers started gaming way early - the only exception I can think of being Jake.

#

Who admits he didn't really start playing video games till he was 14-15.

forest jackal
#

I wonder if it has to do with the games being played as well though

#

Like, girls being less likely to play shooters etc

pearl stratus
#

To some extent - sure, but I don't think so anymore.

#

Especially in the case of OW.

forest jackal
#

the thing is

pearl stratus
#

Where its much more vibrant and flashy than that dreary CODesque war scenario.

forest jackal
#

OW is kinda very uhh welcoming yeah!

#

that

pearl stratus
#

Also - women in gaming get a lot of shit. It's not exactly a conducive environment because the average gamer is really fucking weird and socially retarded.

#

So they say some questionable shit.

warm quartz
#

And then there's kiddos like me who are like "I grew up on pokemon. Fuck you."

#

I will admit, geguri seems really really sweet

#

I wanna hug her

#

She's one of the few players i'm determined to meet.

twin dove
#

seems like someone that might get walked all over thou

#

cause she's in that "boys club"

pearl stratus
#

Eh she handled her hacking thing well.

warm quartz
#

She's a sweetie nonetheless.

pearl stratus
#

She's got a pretty solid spine.

twin dove
#

Legit. 👍

warm quartz
#

I wanna meet her because she's nice and a bit of an idol for me

pearl stratus
#

For a representative who doesn't want to be a representative.

warm quartz
#

Defending her ass and being awesome

pearl stratus
#

She's a good one to have.

#

I think its also very important that she doesn't want to actively be a representative for girls, because it makes her motivation to play much more pure.

#

She's not a girl whos determined to be in the OWL. She's a player who wants to play.

twin dove
#

like endoken was saying about being socially retarded, geguri would probably be one of the only few worth meeting

#

most of the guys are probably cringey

#

lol

pearl stratus
#

Eh depends.

forest jackal
#

but I mean I do wonder if physiologically there's a difference too though.

#

With reaction times

#

etc

pearl stratus
#

Houstons roster seems down to earth.

#

Cocky little assholes. But down to earth.

twin dove
#

i should invest more effort into paying attention to esports haha

warm quartz
#

Geguri, Muma, Jjonak, and flow3r are the three players i reaaally want to meet.

pearl stratus
#

Four.

#

C'mon.

warm quartz
#

I added flow3r and forgot to change it

#

Mb

pearl stratus
#

Lol

twin dove
#

muma seems like a cringey person that'd still be fun to meet haha

pearl stratus
#

Muma seems like someone who's the exact same on stream as in person.

warm quartz
#

Muma's like awesome to me because he fucking gave me an A on a paper.

pearl stratus
#

So he's probably a riot.

twin dove
#

aye

pearl stratus
#

Like for all his retardedness.

warm quartz
#

His stream clip gave me a bonus point on a paper

pearl stratus
#

I bet you xQc would be funny to hang out with too.

#

Without his twitch chat.

warm quartz
#

So i want to personally thank muma for it

forest jackal
#

The only gaming personality I want to meet is Faker

#

And just hug him for 10 seconds or so

warm quartz
#

Jjonak, cause he's jjonak

#

Flow3r because i look up to him immensely.

#

As a 17 year old player myself, i look up to him. Geguri, for obvious reasons

indigo barn
#

Kephrii because he’s a good person

oak schooner
#

^ LUL

warm quartz
#

I wouldn't mind getting keph's signature, but not much else.

indigo barn
#

Yes

pearl stratus
#

Eh. Ark for me, because he just seems like a goofball. Ryuhejong because I'd like his perspective based on his age.

hazy arrow
#

Kephrii

#

good person

#

pick one

indigo barn
#

Yes

warm quartz
#

I'm not a fan of keph personally but i wouldn't mind a signature.

#

OH FUCK

#

I FORGOT ABOUT SLEEPY

#

I WANT TO PET SLEEPY'S FLOOFY HAIR

indigo barn
#

Western zen god

pearl stratus
#

Sleepy Toxic AF meme king.

#

I'd probably slap him upside his charlie brown round ass head.

indigo barn
#

Okay

twin dove
#

fun playing ana, when u hit sick sleep darts ppl call u budget ryu

pearl stratus
#

He's in the OWL now, he can't keep reporting one tricks like a tard.

#

He's gotta set a better image than that.

#

He needs a smack upside the head.

white dock
#

what dreamkazper did

pearl stratus
#

I'd also like to meet Jake.

warm quartz
#

I want to pet his hair, nothing else.

balmy wolf
#

Dreamkazper is in your house, you are 14, What do you do?

warm quartz
#

Rawkus seems nice too

pearl stratus
#

Because he's probably the smartest western player with Seagull.

oak schooner
#

does he have a knife?

pearl stratus
#

And I prefer cerebral players to mechanical players.

warm quartz
#

All of houston seems like they'd be fun to like go out to pizza with

#

But not much else

#

You'd go to like Cici's with them, but you wouldnt like be a groupie.

pearl stratus
#

I wouldn't mind having Coolmatt as a secret santa.

#

Considering he gave Jake like...

#

$200 worth of shit.

twin dove
#

there's a seperate discord for that

scarlet spear
#

i know they're not allowed to be seen with it, but i wonder if any of them drink

pearl stratus
#

They do Pfre.

scarlet spear
#

or if they legit just play all day

warm quartz
#

They do lol

pearl stratus
#

Coolmatt gave Jake a single malt scotch for his Secret Santa.

#

Lol

#

It's literally in their video.

silk linden
#

I wanna hang in the Outlaws den

scarlet spear
#

oh k

silk linden
#

they seem like cool dudes

pearl stratus
#

Just no drinking on stream, etc.

scarlet spear
#

yeah i know that

warm quartz
#

I still wanna hug geguri and thank her for being herself and not faking herself for anything. Same goes for a lot of players.

scarlet spear
#

but when i think about houston i always see linkzr in my mind...

warm quartz
#

I like the legit players, not the fakeass ones.

scarlet spear
#

dude probably lives off overwatch and anime

pearl stratus
#

Nah.

scarlet spear
#

no need for food or water

pearl stratus
#

Linkzr is the king.

silk linden
#

Linkzr has the hottest gf in the league

pearl stratus
#

His girlfriend is way above his league.

#

Dudes batting 1000.

pearl stratus
#

That's about it.

warm quartz
#

Dont start the cancer.

leaden tulip
#

Why

warm quartz
#

Please.

pearl stratus
#

For everything else JFGI.

silk linden
#

scarlet spear
#

TLDR: he was horny, she was 14

pearl stratus
#

JFGI good sir.

warm quartz
#

Look around on twitter, its everywhere.

pearl stratus
#

JFGI.

warm quartz
#

Otherwise please dont bring it in here for a bit

pearl stratus
#

If you don't know what JFGI is.

#

JFGI JFGI.

warm quartz
#

Triggers people too easily

silk linden
#

Mrs Eff3ct is hot but probs a bit too crazy

cyan tinsel
#

Dreamkazper zaryalol

pearl stratus
#

It's also off topic now.

warm quartz
#

And wow linkzr really is batting 1000 holy DICK

pearl stratus
#

This is an e-sports discussion.

silk linden
#

pearl stratus
#

And he's no longer in e-sports.

cyan tinsel
#

ACCUSATION

pearl stratus
#

Yeah, Linkzr and his girlfriend are a really sweet couple too.

#

She's from Mexico, iirc.

warm quartz
#

I'm laughing at this rn im like holt shit she's hot.

limpid estuary
#

I gotta say

warm quartz
#

Even tho im like genderblind and shit

limpid estuary
#

Im kind of surprised

warm quartz
#

FUCK ME SHES HOT

pearl stratus
#

You thought he only played hit scan because he could aim?

limpid estuary
#

That Sombra sees so much play

pliant magnet
#

If I could choose whichever team in the owl and spend a day in their company, glads philly or Houston
Sadly I can't.

limpid estuary
#

Like, she straight up dethroned Soldier

#

And took all his playtime

pearl stratus
#

@limpid estuary I'm not atm. It's new and less counterable without really strong communicaiton.

warm quartz
#

Lol

pearl stratus
#

She plays havoc on an uncoordinated team.

warm quartz
#

H E L L O MY NAME IS SOMBRA

#

thats all shes doing

pearl stratus
#

Give it 2-3 more weeks, and I think we'll see her normalize.

warm quartz
#

Quite literally.... "been here all along"

pearl stratus
#

As people get comfortable playing around her.

silk linden
#

not gonna brag, but I 100% called it

limpid estuary
#

She's at least taking a DPS slot now

#

Rather than the support slot

pearl stratus
#

She'll drop off once people can internalize her a bit more, imo.

limpid estuary
#

But like... Is her high playrate just because of all the D.Va/Zenyatta?

pearl stratus
#

But all these players are used to EMP timing from a defensive health pack perspective, and its super exploitable.

pliant magnet
#

Sombra got potg while i was hiding in the corner and my crit teammates started tbaging me

limpid estuary
#

Both heroes after their light tap still see more play than anyone els

#

Is it just because Sombra is exceptional at dealing with those 2 specifically?

pearl stratus
#

D'vas rockets arent in yet.

limpid estuary
#

Aren't they?

#

Wait, then

pearl stratus
#

They're still on PTR.

limpid estuary
#

What version of Sombra is this?

pearl stratus
#

This is interrupt 2 second cd, LoS sombra.

#

But the rockets came after that.

limpid estuary
#

Ok

limber pine
#

nerfed buff

pearl stratus
#

Rockets are with the reaper buffs.

#

That are going live tomorrow.

limpid estuary
#

My bad

pearl stratus
#

Np.

limpid estuary
#

I thought those went live with Sombra

pearl stratus
#

But yes. Sombra shuts down Lucio (who had a 50% pick rate in Stage 2)

#

And locks down a portion of dive.

limpid estuary
#

His pickrate was shut down in Stage 3 so far

#

Its been all

#

Zen and Mercy

pearl stratus
#

If you want to go watch the Shocks opening game against LAG.

#

And you'll kind of get a solid story of why Sombra is picked highly.

#

Danteh basically solo'd LAG through 3 maps with her.

#

Shut down Fissure entirely.

warm quartz
#

Sombra needs a tweak vs lucio imo. 50% heals and 25% speed boost instead. Distorted song or playing mexican music remix c:

pearl stratus
#

Once people can manage against her better and its not just trying to figure it out, they'll use others.

deft valley
#

@pliant magnet Philly have a ton of fun from what their discord shows

warm quartz
#

So its like crippling, but he has a fighting chance

pearl stratus
#

LAG actually looked better last week playing against a Sombra, overall.

deft valley
#

the other guys are cool guys but philly do more fun stuff

pearl stratus
#

Philly seems -really- really cocky though.

limpid estuary
#

Volskaya game?

pearl stratus
#

That might get older.

limpid estuary
#

That always was a good map for her

pearl stratus
#

Uh Numbani

#

Is the best example.

deft valley
#

not really

pearl stratus
#

Volskaya was more skewed to old Sombra.

deft valley
#

eqo is just about the only one who's bm about it

pearl stratus
#

Not New Sombra.

deft valley
#

the rest are pretty humble

pearl stratus
#

Danteh on Numbani is a good example of him shutting down Fisure too.

limpid estuary
#

Alright

silk linden
#

I'm such a prophet

pliant magnet
#

Well they are philly after all

limpid estuary
#

Nice

deft valley
#

implying you need a tracer alternative

warm quartz
#

And then im here like

#

Golden sombra gun

#

To the party

deft valley
#

just run both her and whoever

warm quartz
#

slaps in everyone's face as the biggest fuck you ever

deft valley
#

oh my god

#

CIS hope are seriously running a mei in contenders

warm quartz
#

Thats why i have sombra golden, its a massive fuck off

deft valley
#

like legitimately on ilios

rapid bobcat
#

\

deft valley
#

not for stalling or anything

pearl stratus
#

I could see that working with a Junkrat on Ilios.

#

On everything but Ruins.

deft valley
#

it's on lighthouse, and the second dps is

scarlet spear
#

ruins is widow playground

deft valley
#

the usual

warm quartz
#

Is it sombra

pearl stratus
#

Tracer?

deft valley
#

as in tracer

pearl stratus
#

Yeah not that bad.

warm quartz
#

Its sombra you're wrong

#

Everyone runs sombra

pearl stratus
#

Mei + Reaper is also a decent combo.

warm quartz
#

Lol

deft valley
#

jesus christ

pearl stratus
#

Dallas runs it, since they can afford to do whatever.

deft valley
#

i get it you're hyped for sombra

pearl stratus
#

Since dumpster strats.

deft valley
#

but tracer is still the #1 default pick for any serious teams, anywhere

pearl stratus
#

It's funny watching teams adjust to her [Sombra] already though.

silk linden
#

run mccree

warm quartz
#

I know

pearl stratus
#

Nah

silk linden
#

run less zenyatta

pearl stratus
#

Tracer finds the Translocator.

#

And camps.

warm quartz
#

I'm glad to see sombra isnt going unnoticed anymore tho

deft valley
#

yeah I don't think her popularity wave will get to OWL at this point

pearl stratus
#

HAs been the effective one.

scarlet spear
#

that Lijang tower game from DF with mei is still my favourite map till today in OWL

pearl stratus
#

So she trans and just gets one clipped.

scarlet spear
#

god they destroyed that map

pearl stratus
#

It's hilarious.

twin dove
#

wish i could play tracer better 😦

silk linden
#

I got so tilted when I saw rawkus getting empd 3 times in a row against Philly's Sombra

#

just, fucking learn

deft valley
#

that's still taking out tracer out of a fight for 10+ secs though

silk linden
#

zen so stubborn

deft valley
#

you can bait that

pearl stratus
#

You can and can't. Sombras translocate REAL fast in OWL.

deft valley
#

well yea

pearl stratus
#

Because they get focused the second they're available.

silk linden
#

once you get empd twice, just fucking switch

limpid estuary
#

Okay so it is just

silk linden
#

not even Jjonak could be effective against a proper Sombra

limpid estuary
#

EMP and DVa.

deft valley
#

basically

pearl stratus
#

Yeah, or Monkey.

#

Monkey leaps in!

#

Hacked.

#

Can't leap out.

#

Monkey dies.

silk linden
#

Sombra + Brigitte, the anti fun meta

pearl stratus
#

Brigitte is going to make it so SBB is the only Tracer left in the league.

silk linden
#

vanilla OW all the way

pearl stratus
#

He's the only one I expect to play around her.

#

Because he has the most unique style.

limpid estuary
#

So its less a question of Sombra being powerful, and more just... Good and anti-meta.

silk linden
#

only left mouse click allowed

pearl stratus
#

She's powerful too, in her own right.

#

The damage increase is noticeable.

#

She can clip a support.

#

With much less time/risk than before.

silk linden
#

you know what support she cant onceclip?

#

Brigitte

deft valley
#

btw, contenders are running Moira with dive too

silk linden
#

and we're gonna see a bunch of brigitte

pearl stratus
#

You know who still gets screwed if she's hacked though?

#

Brigitte.

limpid estuary
#

Right, but its still pretty weak compared to other rapid fire dps.

pearl stratus
#

It's a fair balance between the two.

limpid estuary
#

I think its interesting to watch either way

pearl stratus
#

Brigittes biggest issue is still where she fits and who she replaces.

#

I think we'll see quite a bit of her, but I think we'll see some weird 3:0:3 comps now and again.

silk linden
#

it won't be an issue as soon as people realize how powerful she is

deft valley
#

her healing/utility is offheal, but she doesn't have the defense ult

pearl stratus
#

She honestly works really well in a double tri stack.

silk linden
#

it's like with lucio, people were like "how do you replace the only hero that provides a speed boost"

#

but then people went "I have discord orb and rez, who gives a shit about speed"

pearl stratus
#

Eh thats lowballing it.

#

I have discord orb and double instant ress.

#

Would be more accurate.

#

Since once the double instant went away, he came right back.

deft valley
#

he's still not mandatory though

silk linden
#

yeah, but not as dominant

#

only zen is mandatory

deft valley
#

mercy/widow is a common replacement

pearl stratus
#

No, but this is probably the most balanced support meta we've ever seen

#

To be fair.

deft valley
#

yeah which means you can do without his speed boost

scarlet spear
#

bring back ana GWseremePeepoLife

deft valley
#

despite what people said

pearl stratus
#

Ana still has a higher pick than Moira.

#

Bring back Moira.

silk linden
#

maybe Brigitte is gonna be so fucking useful, people will consider using her over Zen too

scarlet spear
#

bring back the true support, symmetra

silk linden
#

she has like, the best support ultimate

pearl stratus
#

Actually Moira is doing better with Sombra around,because if the balls out getting hacked doesn't matter.

#

I doubt you'll ever get rid of Zen truly.

#

Transcendence is just too damn good.

#

It's like D'va.

deft valley
#

not unless he's completely gutted

pearl stratus
#

Defensive matrix.

deft valley
#

again though, that's also what people said about lucio and speed boost

#

the way you replace them is offer something better

pearl stratus
#

I wouldn't rank Speed boost equal to Trans though.

silk linden
#

I don't think he needs to be gutted. Just, something will come out that's so useful, people will choose it over Discord Orb

#

and Brigitte is really damn useful

pearl stratus
#

Trans is one of the few things that shuts down as many ults as it does.

deft valley
#

jesus christ the producers on contenders

pearl stratus
#

Brig can shut down her fair share as well, within reason.

silk linden
#

remember when people said Ana's nade was gonna be the ultimate counter to transcendence

pearl stratus
#

But if you end up with the 3:0:3.

deft valley
#

watching a widow for 15 seconds doing nothing

pearl stratus
#

You don't need to make the decision.

#

You bring Brig and Zen.

deft valley
#

cut away right before a counter-widow headshot

#

like the split second before

silk linden
#

brig and zen is very low healing

pearl stratus
#

3:0:3 Veex 😛

silk linden
#

ah

pearl stratus
#

You still have another support to bring

#

Typically a Moira.

#

Since you're running triple tank.

silk linden
#

or a lucio then

#

to move the brigitte in

deft valley
#

can we agree that the tank is second space pls

pearl stratus
#

Brig + Zarya is also a destructive angry force of nature.

deft valley
#

3-0-3 is 3 dps

silk linden
#

yeah 3:0:3 would be 3 dps

pearl stratus
#

No way, for me its always Tank - DPS - Healer.

deft valley
#

why

silk linden
#

you're wrong

pearl stratus
#

Because no one loves DPS.

#

They're the middle child.

deft valley
#

it's not how anything is listed

silk linden
#

that's literally only you though

#

people will misunderstand you

deft valley
#

the rosters and the heroes are both listed damage-tank-supp

silk linden
#

it's the agreed upon order

pearl stratus
#

Vastly illogical but I concede my being wrong.

silk linden
#

how

scarlet spear
#

i'd imagine its TANK - DPS - SUPPORT aswell

silk linden
#

it's literally how they're listed

scarlet spear
#

if i just saw it without explanation

pearl stratus
#

Because my brain translates it in order of how I'd expect to view them, I suppose.

silk linden
#

you're misinformed then

pearl stratus
#

Tanks in front of DPS, infront of support.

silk linden
#

readjust

pearl stratus
#

I already said i did.

silk linden
#

Pfre too

deft valley
#

WELL THEN YOU ARE LOST

pearl stratus
#

I'm sorry people think DPS are important.

#

When they're not.

#

And put them first.

#

!

silk linden
#

why are you so hung up on this

#

it's just an order

#

doesn't mean they're more important

pearl stratus
#

WITHOUT ORDER THERE IS CHAOS.

#

Also its just fun at this point.

#

Work is boring af.

paper crag
#

You know what they should do? Tank, dps, support, arranged in a triangle that spins at a constant rate

#

Now nobody is first or last

#

And starting locations are randomized so nobody is “first” based on whatever starting location

hazy arrow
#

That reminds me Red Dwarf a bit

wary iris
#

Sayaplayer + Logix = 8 - 2 GWchadThinkeyes

pliant magnet
#

A good dps player is necessary for the team, a random 100 hour torb that plays genji for the first time in comp isnt necessary to the team

severe folio
silk linden
#

no thx

severe folio

These are her images

silk linden

we've moved on

If anyone wants to see em they can

torpid charm

don't nobody wanna see that shit no more

pliant magnet
#

Her twitter acc is at the end, no info in her twitter acc tho

pearl stratus
#

Tis is for e-sports discussion.

#

And he's no longer in OWL.

#

Thus it is not e-sports.

silk linden
#

unless you're discussing, like, "how are they gonna replace him"

limber pine
#

SnoW

pearl stratus
#

I still say Mistakes over Snow.

silk linden
#

secret weapon Snow

pearl stratus
#

Mistakes has a workable Sombra, acceptable Widow and decent Genji.

silk linden
#

snow is a support endo

pearl stratus
#

With the right coaching Mistakes may not be a Mistake.

limber pine
#

yeah I'm not being totally serious

silk linden
#

t'was a joke

pearl stratus
#

Yeah but Snow could be used to flex Neko to dps.

limber pine
#

It'll be Mistakes i'm sure

pearl stratus
#

So its not completely unlikely ;P

#

Since Neko flexes well.

#

Pull a Kariv on em.

silk linden
#

Rae wants it

torpid charm
#

path to pro starts now so I can take DK's place on Uprising

pearl stratus

Oooh you just missed the signing, too bad.

#

Try again next year 😛

torpid charm

I do wanna see Snow low-key, lol. gotta get my fair skinned friends in there

#

I WILL TRY LMAO

pearl stratus
#

Go to Philly.

torpid charm
#

buy my Jersey when I make it pls

pearl stratus
#

Do the Hometown Hero thing.

torpid charm
#

I'm too shit for Philly

silk linden
#

Grind Tracer and if you hit GM you're ready for HoustonOutlaws

pearl stratus
#

Kraft can just pull a patriots on Boston.

#

"Saebyolbe. Heres 750k a year. Say goodbye to NYXL."

torpid charm
#

I'll be Tracer main for Houston zaryalol

silk linden
#

they don't need a tracer tho

scarlet spear
#

yeah

silk linden
#

if anything they can tempt Libero, with Flow3r looming on his spot

scarlet spear
#

someone like fleta or linkzr to fill for kazper gone

#

or that

pearl stratus
#

Honestly.

#

Post wrist injury I don't think Flow3r has looked good enough to take Liberos spot right now.

#

Share it yes.

#

But not take it.

scarlet spear
#

libero has been looking strong, and we've seen fuck all from flow3r since the wc

torpid charm
#

giving Mistakes all my energy

lilac atlas
#

Didnt flow3r have a rough debut on XL2?

scarlet spear
#

gonna take a while anyways

hazy arrow
#

Do we know how much the players get paid?

pearl stratus
#

He had a pretty rough debut yeah.

scarlet spear
#

oh yeah hes playing contenders i forgot

silk linden
#

then just sign Libero, what can I tell you

pearl stratus
#

His first match he went in Contenders.

#

He died instantly.

#

Like 25 seconds into the match

#

Ded.

torpid charm
#

isn't the minimum 50k

silk linden
#

Libero is basically a free agent now

#

sorry I mean flower

lilac atlas
#

How much are contenders players paid?

silk linden
#

flower is basically a free agent

scarlet spear
#

they get money for games played/maps won afaik

pearl stratus
#

Not much, if anything. It's up to the orgs I think.

scarlet spear
#

something like 100$ for a map loss, 300$ for a win i think ?

lilac atlas
#

Wow, thats pennies compared to owl

hazy arrow
#

I can imagine no one gets over 150k (and even that is probably waaaaay more than what the best paid player gets paid)

pearl stratus
#

@silk linden Flow3r will still end up on NYXL. I could see them selling/trading Pine though

hazy arrow
#

so 750k would be an instant transfer

pearl stratus
#

Pine to NYXL could be interesting.

#

Er Boston.

scarlet spear
#

In addition to the Playoff prize money, teams will receive $587 USD for each Map win, $330 USD for each Map loss and $458.50 USD for each Map draw during the Regular Season. Tiebreaker maps do not award any prize money.

pearl stratus
#

But mental state stuff.

hazy arrow
#

Cant imagine anyone refuse

pearl stratus
#

People get more than 150k.

#

Sinatraa is at 150k and he's mediocre.

limber pine
#

and Pine is like the opposite of a flex DPS

lilac atlas
#

Im just saying that with a salary like that, a lot of them probably resort to boosting

pearl stratus
#

Most teams have just been smart and not let their pay structure out.

#

Some do, but right now boosting is the dumbest thing you can do unless you're a shit player.

lilac atlas
#

SD

pearl stratus
#

Because it removes you from the Korean scene, and post launch of OWL makes you pretty much ineligible for OWL play.

#

No more clean slate.

hazy arrow
#

Or if it seems you will never play

#

Wonder if we ever see Snow

pearl stratus
#

Eh.

#

I would be completely shocked if boosting was not considered a breach of contract.

#

At which point the org can sue for the contract back.

hazy arrow
#

Surely it is

lilac atlas
#

I wonder how many players actually boost

pearl stratus
#

Snows biggest issue is that he's fighting for his spot with Kellex.

#

And Kellex is better than him.

pliant magnet
#

If that the money ratio

#

even shanghai got some cash

pearl stratus
#

Shanghai has the most cash in the league.

lilac atlas
#

Really?

pearl stratus
#

Their owner is worth over $20 billion.

#

Just by himself

#

lol

lilac atlas
#

But they dont even have a full roster

pearl stratus
#

They're at 11/12.

pliant magnet
#

Oh lol

deft valley
#

Owner having a ton of money doesn't mean he's willing to shell out

paper crag
#

Any esport where china is involved, it’s a safe bet to say the chinese orgs will be the richest

#

Although party magician is right too

pearl stratus
#

Also its only season 1.

#

You don't invest a ton in the short term.

#

You wait to see where its going long term.

#

It's one of the things I bring up everytime people mention Sado and OGE and why teams would pick up a known booster.

#

They're really economical pick ups.

#

They're basically blue light special K-mart sales of players.

lilac atlas
#

Personally, the league is too far now to kick out people that have boosted in the past. But i think players that continue to boost will be kicked

pearl stratus
#

The League was pretty upfront with its clean slate upon entry thing.

#

And right now no one in the league is poor enough to be bothered with boosting.

#

It's only economical in large amounts and with a lot of time invested, which they don't have.

#

OGE basically boosted only one account, and he only made like $200.

tawny sigil
#

i don't know man they're in LA...

#

50k a year, you're trash in LA

#

dont even mention that

#

people will point and laugh

scarlet spear
#

50k is the minimum, and they dont have to pay for shit there

#

they get free housing, food, they barely have to spend anything

#

they can live decently off that

tawny sigil
#

yeah not having to pay is a good plus that's right

atomic zealot

Is it true what happen to dreamkazper

tawny sigil
#

if it was 50k+ get your own housing, all of them would be making video about how hard life in LA is

$50k is fine they don't even have time yet to spend it

tawny sigil

50k a year, only if you smile and say "this is fun" don't say anything else, cause its 50k minus every word that they hold against you times 1000

ruby pendant
#

50k is small in California

tawny sigil
#

scrap that Eqo didn't actually say anything

deft valley

50k is also not what most people are paid

it's the minimum but most of them are paid more

it was so natural, came out so smoothly t'was hilarious

there you go

that's from before

tawny sigil

that was posted yesterday though

it's recorded one day before it's posted on YT

i guess it is pre recorded so its not a live stream

anyway, there can't be any DK stuff in there because of the timing

at least with oversight they dont shy around subject i don't think

Btw how good is mistakes? I need to know because fantasy points

pseudo viper
#

after the contract is destroyed... she locks her account

ruby pendant
#

Law enforcement could be involved

pseudo viper
#

nope

twin dragon
#

i believe that happened before his contract was terminated

ruby pendant
#

It's also reasonable to lock it

pseudo viper
#

why?

#

no it didnt

#

i checked

twin dragon
#

i mean, think about the type of attention she'd be receiving

pseudo viper
#

she retweeted that post, then said "good." and locked her account.

twin dragon
#

she probably wants to lay low after something like that; i know i would

#

now 8that* is shady

#

that

yeah she's probably got a lot of hate mail by now

then why didnt she lay low while it was happening

holy SHIT

either way DK is gone from OWL permanently, gaurantee you no one picks him up after this

probably life ending

basically branded a sex offender for life

exactly

twin dragon

if not life ending he's basically going to prison for child porn possession

pseudo viper

he's still now a sex offender

any job he goes for he has to say that

life ending as in his life is never gonna be the same, not necessarily death

it's gonna be just terrible

he made a series of dumb decisions over the months of feb. and march that turned out to destroy everything he'd built tbh

#

can't just be throwing away an opportunity to play OW as a career 🤔

pseudo viper
#

this makes me angry

#

that first of all an owl player is being this fucking dumb

#

and that i still dont know if it happened or not

#

i was on lily's account right before she locked it

twin dragon
#

i'm just glad that we saw logical action from OWL on this one

pseudo viper
#

she retweeted a tweet from her friend

jagged crater
#

i mean it had to be swift

pseudo viper
#

showing that "group chat" kazper was it

jagged crater
#

a lot of kids watch OWL, think of the image this reflects

twin dragon
#

yeah true

pseudo viper
#

and

twin dragon
#

don't want someone like that around

pseudo viper
#

it had him saying some dumb stuff to then

#

them

#

but idk if its real

#

because there was no verified check next to his name

twin dragon
#

i never saw the group chat content at all

hidden osprey
#

why does OW attract these types of players? are there any other competitive games where you see consistent behaviour like this?

twin dragon
#

we know about the DMs at the least and those were disturbing

pseudo viper
#

yet on twitter he's still verified and in all of their other pics he had the verified check

jagged crater
#

im pretty sure there are other games, it's not just OW

#

OW just higher profile in this case because it's actually huge

#

with all the esports investment

twin dragon
#

at the end of the day they're a company

pseudo viper
#

so idk if that group chat is fake or not

twin dragon
#

they have to deal with this as a company

#

for this case that means he's gotta go given the amount of evidence and seriousness of the charges he could face

pseudo viper
#

as well as the messages

jagged crater
#

in CSGO there was a pedo semipro player

#

pretty notable player among the competitive community

#

also toxic piece of shit tho

ruby pendant
#

Very disappointing.

jagged crater
#

dreamkazper seemed like a nice guy

twin dragon
#

he was

deft valley
#

they often do

jagged crater
#

i mean, even best buds with ark

pseudo viper
#

he was

twin dragon
#

i can't even imagine what his teammates are thinking

#

imagine knowing that you've been living with a predator this entire time

jagged crater
#

gonna be tough recovering fro this

hidden osprey
#

yeah.. Boston were looking spectacular the past few matches

pseudo viper
#

lmao because dk carried

jagged crater
#

not just mentally but skill wise, dreamkazper was actually insanely good at dps

ruby pendant
#

Really want to hear what the Overwatch League will say

jagged crater
#

it's a damn shame waste of talent

hidden osprey
#

it's hard to say DK carried when in pro play you need the entire team to work to make the dream work

hexed jay
#

lol reece bloom

twin dragon
#

this is a lot of pressure on mistakes to step it up

hexed jay
#

like 2x worse and not in prison

#

JS is not going to prison my dudes

jagged crater
#

mistakes is not nearly as flexible as DK
