[paper crag]

oh do they not just get the US broadcast and commentate over it?

[nova pelican]

1 death

[pallid cargo]

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon

idk

[paper crag]

do they actually get all the channels to manipulate on their own?

[supple creek]

overwatch league is trash

[median coyote]

Mom Soe. Disappointed not angry

[paper crag]

i think they just send out whatever they get from the main channel

[pallid cargo]

I want soon to stick me with his pulse bomb

[paper crag]

is soon short or soe tall?

[nova pelican]

soon is a short french dwarf

[median coyote]

He's short

[pallid cargo]

soon is short

but he's handsome as fuck

[paper crag]

soon looks like he could be tall from his profile pic

[nova pelican]

very handsome

[paper crag]

prob because he's got a nice face, yeah

[grizzled trout]

Inb4 seoul plays xepher

[paper crag]

play xepher vs SHD pls

[pallid cargo]

player of the match is bunny

[nova pelican]

soe and soon gonna fuck after this interview

[pallid cargo]

he did so much

[paper crag]

let him get rekt by the frog

[grizzled trout]

I think coaches won't do that because usually Dallas and seoul have good matches

[onyx shore]

well

[nova pelican]

soe has wide hips fellas

[onyx shore]

looks like valiant is lucky in this stage

they won't play against nyxl

[paper crag]

dallas does oddly okay every time they play seoul lol

[median coyote]

Where's that reddit copypasta? Where Dallas barely loses at the start of a stage

[paper crag]

despite seoul usually not going full B squad on them iirc

[onyx shore]

that's a big bye

[vagrant niche]

Dallas does ok vs all the big shots but they choke

and with the meh teams, they get destroyed

[paper crag]

yeah lol

that dva bomb

lands perfectly lol

[grizzled trout]

I'm ready for dissapointment not gonna get my hopes up

[paper crag]

you're seoul fan though

they're gonna win

i'm guessing 3-1 is a disappointment?

[grizzled trout]

I do it with all sports

[median coyote]

I'm ready for an exciting match. Last two DF vs Seoul have been fun to watch

[paper crag]

i just want some DF wins 😦

[nova pelican]

rascal pls carry

[grizzled trout]

If it's possible for the other team to win I get myself ready to not get to mad if it happens

[paper crag]

rascal mei pls

[median coyote]

Is rascal in?

[grizzled trout]

Yea

[nova pelican]

yeah hes back

[median coyote]

Nice

[grizzled trout]

Rascal and OGE will be in

[nova pelican]

boooo oge

[paper crag]

oh shit oge lol

[median coyote]

Hey, DF will actually have leadership again. Maybe

[paper crag]

i don't even know that guy other than he's DF and was suspended for boosting

is he good?

[nova pelican]

probably

[median coyote]

We barely know iirc. Haven't seen him much

[slim summit]

They were just talking about who Valiant isn't going to play this stage. Here's a table of who isn't playing who for Stage 3
https://i.imgur.com/x7C0Bzt.png

No Fusion vs Glads

[paper crag]

ooh DF avoids London lol

it's pretty hilarious that missing out on SHD is a guaranteed disadvantage

[median coyote]

Houston with the shirt straw getting a pass on SHD

Short*

[nova pelican]

dragons would destroy houston

theyre lucky

[torpid charm]

[slim summit]

If you didn't notice, the teams that don't match up in a stage are always in opposite divisions

[median coyote]

Don't dragons play Mayhem in a week or two? Might be ready to take them on by then

[slim summit]

Which means the divisions with worse teams are at an advantage

(which is Pacific)

unfortunately it's only a teeny tiny advantage 😄

[paper crag]

so there are 8 teams who will play SHD every stage, and 4 teams who will only play them 3 times, right?

lol but that opportunity to run experimental comps

and free morale boost

[slim summit]

Right! I have that table, too! standby

[nova pelican]

dragons take my energy

[paper crag]

SHD is much more than just a W and map scores

[median coyote]

It's a philosophy of throwing by not picking up MY?

[paper crag]

weren't most of them too young to be picked up though?

[median coyote]

Maybe? Wouldn't surprise me

[nova pelican]

they should lower the age limit overwatch is a kiddie kids game for kids

kids are gonna be the best at it

[slim summit]

https://i.imgur.com/lc4NRfG.png

[grizzled trout]

I'll watch till 12

[slim summit]

Seoul Dynasty is the team that doesn't get to skip London or NYXL in any stage

[median coyote]

Man, Valiant really lucked out

[onyx shore]

gtfo malik

[median coyote]

Lol that basically negates Seouls advantage of being pacific division

[onyx shore]

well,the regional division just dont make sense

at all

[median coyote]

I mean, at this point none of the geolocation makes sense

[nova pelican]

hump day

[onyx shore]

i hope they are not going with traveling for home away match

that would be a big waste of money and time

[median coyote]

And I feel like you'd lose the cross-team friendships

No longer all living in the same area

[onyx shore]

yeah

[nova pelican]

dallas fuel is hardly envyus anymore

[vagrant niche]

holy shit

[median coyote]

Harry and Chips XD

[vagrant niche]

OGE coming in

[solar trout]

[onyx shore]

[median coyote]

Not fluent in English

Oh boy

[vagrant niche]

PLEASE KILL GENJIIIIIIIIIIII

[onyx shore]

do you remember when rascal scream "help !"

lul

[vagrant niche]

lmao XD yes

[median coyote]

Lol, still showing Cocco on the roster =/

[vagrant niche]

Cocco is basically out

[median coyote]

Custa basically said Cocco will never play for DF

[balmy wolf]

[onyx shore]

what

zunba not playing?

[nova pelican]

based rascal

[vagrant niche]

LETS GO FUEL!!!

[onyx shore]

ffs m8

[grizzled trout]

He injured

[vagrant niche]

[median coyote]

"From Texas"

[onyx shore]

?

what happened?

[grizzled trout]

Wrist

[visual glen]

No more sasuke effect

[solar trout]

effect looks confident

[grizzled trout]

Fuck.

[paper crag]

so i guess DF's main tank must be blonde

[median coyote]

Angry Effect performed better

[paper crag]

natural or dyed

[nova pelican]

fleta is the meta

[grizzled trout]

We most likely will lose

[spring lintel]

No seagull

[onyx shore]

this isn't envyus

[solar trout]

lol mickie

[fading wasp]

Mickie lol

[onyx shore]

that

[serene tendon]

rest in piece seagull

[spring lintel]

Mickie on dva LOL

[onyx shore]

thsat's how mickie doing on fuel now

[grizzled trout]

Welp

[paper crag]

@onyx shore lol

[spring lintel]

He is just being positive to get the starting roster

[paper crag]

is the juggling a symbolism for his performance

[median coyote]

Give him a shot guys. New main tank who might actually be good

[solar trout]

OGE actually has his name on his jersey. So many new players don't have that.

[spring lintel]

With zero english

LOOOOL

[onyx shore]

no cococ,no chips,no taimou

[solar trout]

Maybe it depends on team budget

[onyx shore]

rip envyus

[paper crag]

xepher lul

[vagrant niche]

OGE was delayed bro

[nova pelican]

why akm in over rascal

[vagrant niche]

cause of the boosting

[solar trout]

for 4 games tho

[vagrant niche]

maybe they need his soldier

[solar trout]

not a long time

[spring lintel]

That’s a gg bois 4-0

[vagrant niche]

who knows

we'll see

[grizzled trout]

[median coyote]

What's the map?

[vagrant niche]

it's Volskaya

so

Widow

Tracer

[solar trout]

jehong <3

[median coyote]

Yup

[nova pelican]

dynasty wants to lose really badly

[solar trout]

They keep losing when jehong isn't in

[onyx shore]

ah damnit

[grizzled trout]

They can't help zunbas wrist being hurt tho

[solar trout]

I am still rooting for fuel

[onyx shore]

xepher off tank then?

[solar trout]

I liked the seagull dva

[slim summit]

Fuel

[torpid charm]

where is Tobi

[onyx shore]

yeah

[nova pelican]

no tobi no win

[onyx shore]

where is tobi

[vagrant niche]

[median coyote]

Gambler is great. Still seems weird not to play tobi tho

[torpid charm]

I need Tobi

[spring lintel]

Seems like everyone says gambler is better than tobi

[paper crag]

ouch that harsh transition

[nova pelican]

that shirt hella tacky

[grizzled trout]

I guess they use gambler for mercy

[paper crag]

literally unwatchable

[onyx shore]

ouch

at least it's uber and x

[torpid charm]

omfg Uber's shirt is so damn ugly

[grizzled trout]

Cause he's better

[onyx shore]

wth is uber wearign

[median coyote]

Apparently they dress him

[vagrant niche]

bro Uber is sleek

[onyx shore]

that should be 1000$ fine

fashion terrorism

[slim summit]

uber's shirt is a petri dish

[nova pelican]

nigga got his mom to pick out his clothes

[paper crag]

did you see how abruptly they switched cameras? literally unwatchable guys

[median coyote]

I think the designers have a side bet going on the ugliest thing they can convince him to wear

[onyx shore]

uber commits fashion terorism

1k fine

[slim summit]

they have stylists in the arena that pick out their clothes

[torpid charm]

@nova pelican LMAO I THOUGHT THE SAME THING

[slim summit]

no joke

[torpid charm]

Semmler had on an ugly ass shirt like that last week

[spring lintel]

The first fight is gonna decide whether i watch this or not

[onyx shore]

why not just use suit

[vagrant niche]

LETS GO FUEL

[nova pelican]

semlmler always has some freaky shit on

[paper crag]

mickie pls

[slim summit]

OGE activated

No Seagull

[nova pelican]

[torpid charm]

OGE with the stage 1 Jjonak hair

@spring lintel so... you watching?

[nova pelican]

[median coyote]

Gambler res was kinda ballsy

[spring lintel]

Dallas on attack sadly

So i am gonna watch the whole game probablh

[torpid charm]

WOW

[spring lintel]

They are gonna get all ults and push

While effect carries

[vagrant niche]

LETS GO BOIIISSS

[torpid charm]

so Zunba has a wrist injury?

[paper crag]

"wire frame" that is not wire frame

[grizzled trout]

Yes

[torpid charm]

sad, I love Zunba

[median coyote]

Ults pretty even going into this

[grizzled trout]

Same

[torpid charm]

aKm on Soldier oh booooy

[paper crag]

what happened to zunba's wrist? just from overuse or did he actually get hurt from something?

[ruby pendant]

Guess Dynasty not too concerned about current playoffs

[torpid charm]

most likely overuse

[ruby pendant]

Rather test their rosters

[spring lintel]

Used both support ults and lost the push

I am done

[paper crag]

i feel like i don't even see zunba that often though

[ruby pendant]

@spring lintel lol

[grizzled trout]

He's on alot

[vagrant niche]

EFFECT WOW

[median coyote]

And jehong kept his

[ruby pendant]

Gave up too early

[onyx shore]

EFFECT

[torpid charm]

Zunba is usually always in

[paper crag]

hmm, okay. i don't watch that many seoul games lol

[torpid charm]

sad

[spring lintel]

The only reason to watch dallas is effect

[median coyote]

Damn. Munchkin and Fleta deleting supports

[nova pelican]

bad res i think

[torpid charm]

I got a paper to write but I can't keep myself from watching OWL

[onyx shore]

gambler with sneaky rez

[paper crag]

most of the seoul games i watched had someone else instead, but i guess it's reasonable since they were usually against weaker teams

[onyx shore]

clutch

[ruby pendant]

Unkoe not bad though

good support

[paper crag]

meanwhile custa is living the life

[slim summit]

gobble gobble

[median coyote]

No, unkoe is good. Upgrade from chips on zen

[spring lintel]

I am so happy that custa knew what’s good for him

[ruby pendant]

Definitely, felt like Fuel got better with him.

[paper crag]

Custa right now: "people win multiple matches in a row?????"

[ruby pendant]

Effect the same

[nova pelican]

damn akm deleted

[spring lintel]

Anything is an upgrade from chips lmao

[torpid charm]

throwback to the game where Chips got targeted every 5 seconds and no one would help him, twas a sad sight

[fading wasp]

effect's bombs

[spring lintel]

Effect just using pulse bombs left and right wtf

[paper crag]

dat 2cp though

[spring lintel]

His team is so trash

[median coyote]

Weird time to toss it in there

[onyx shore]

effect is turning heel

[torpid charm]

angry Effect = easy win

[median saddle]

OGE isn't bad

[onyx shore]

angry effect

[paper crag]

unless you win a fight by landslide, the defending team will just slowly build up again

[spring lintel]

He doesnt give a fuck, he knows they are not winning

[median saddle]

the rest though

[onyx shore]

well

@median saddle compared to taimou on winston,yeah

[median coyote]

Effect dead

[spring lintel]

They literally lost a 6v4

[nova pelican]

rip carry dead

[median coyote]

Fight lost

[median saddle]

anything was better than taimou winston

[spring lintel]

Wait for effect to kill everything

[ruby pendant]

OGE been staying alive for a while

not bad

[slim summit]

almost c9

[median coyote]

Harry dead

[slim summit]

gotem

[spring lintel]

Perfect tracking

[paper crag]

"perfect tracking"

[spring lintel]

Lmao

[ruby pendant]

save the game for fuel

[solar trout]

jehong lucio lol

[slim summit]

lol

[paper crag]

while tac visor

lol

[nova pelican]

oge is pretty good

[grizzled trout]

Sigh

[torpid charm]

perfect tracking

[paper crag]

it was OT though, right?

[visual glen]

PERFECT

[slim summit]

ya

deep into OT

[ruby pendant]

OGE proving his worth

[onyx shore]

oge is an upgrade from taimou and mickie on main tank

[spring lintel]

Effect is just dead ass carrying and the support dying 24/7

[median coyote]

It's an old meme but it checks out

[torpid charm]

OGE bright head

[paper crag]

lol i remembered that it was deep into OT as i asked that lol

[obtuse tartan]

holy shit does someone have a surgeon on speed dial

[nova pelican]

i thought oge was a big nigga but hes looking slim

[obtuse tartan]

because Effect is gonna need back surgery from all that carrying ASAP

[paper crag]

they were so long into OT that i forgot it was OT

[torpid charm]

I low-key forget it's OT

[median saddle]

if Seagull is available next match they should play him

his D.va was solid

[ruby pendant]

Sucks to lose the point like that

[obtuse tartan]

they should absolutely be playing Seagull instead of Mickie and I don't know why they aren't

[ruby pendant]

Too stressful

[torpid charm]

take Mickie off D.va

[median saddle]

they said Seagull is out for personal issues

[paper crag]

idk. i can see seoul getting point B with like 4 minutes left on the clock

[obtuse tartan]

"personal issues"?

[median saddle]

but idk if we can't trust anything fuel says rn

[paper crag]

but at the same time, i can see DF actually winning it

[onyx shore]

gambler's res was pretty vital

[median coyote]

Yeah gambler is doing well

[obtuse tartan]

Dallas can't win this

effect can only carry so much

[torpid charm]

watching Mickie play D.va reminds me of when MG would play D.va and I wanted to kms

[grizzled trout]

They can

[obtuse tartan]

without Seagull in I don't have faith

[torpid charm]

what's Dallas's record right now

[spring lintel]

Yeah i am not watching this lmao

[paper crag]

isnt it like 6-16 or something

[torpid charm]

oh okay

[ruby pendant]

Making it look easy

[torpid charm]

so ass

[ruby pendant]

wow

[torpid charm]

once this map is done, I'm turning this game off

[median coyote]

Just 6.5 minutes

[nova pelican]

nearly 7 minutes tot ake

[median coyote]

Here we go

[spring lintel]

Same

[ruby pendant]

Fleta really practing on widow

[paper crag]

yup, DF is 6-16 with -26 on map differential

[torpid charm]

wait nvm I want tokens, I'll just mute it

[paper crag]

Seoul is 15-7 with +18

[spring lintel]

Lets peek as a sombra while the widow has walls

Haha

[obtuse tartan]

Effect with the bomb AGAIN

[onyx shore]

REKT

[paper crag]

casual headshot

[ruby pendant]

lol

Fleta destroying them

[paper crag]

he just dove into that crosshair lol

[ruby pendant]

How they make it look this easy

[paper crag]

miraculous defense pls

[grizzled trout]

;)

[paper crag]

nope

[rain pewter]

5:06

[obtuse tartan]

Effect can't 1v11

[rain pewter]

[paper crag]

called it, Seoul probably winning with like 4 min on the clock

[spring lintel]

Yeah I am turning off the stream, I am not gonna watch dallas wait for effect to carry

[paper crag]

oh wait they didn't win yet

[grizzled trout]

Effect looking like fleta on his old team

What was the name

[paper crag]

effect getting angry

[onyx shore]

i'm really waiting for effect to snap,turn heel,and leave DF

[slim summit]

5:06

[paper crag]

effect should play winston to channel the primal rage

[slim summit]

ZOINKS

[onyx shore]

he'es wasted

[torpid charm]

Mickie voiceline spam

[slim summit]

Heppy Halloween!

[torpid charm]

love that voice line

[median coyote]

He was flash lux right?

[grizzled trout]

Yea yea yea

[torpid charm]

spams happy New Year
well past new year

[paper crag]

[slim summit]

[nova pelican]

[torpid charm]

you should redo all her voicelines, Vivid

[onyx shore]

yikes

ggwp

[paper crag]

was he spinning so fast that it looked like he was standing still?

[grizzled trout]

Y'all think it's safe to go to sleep

[torpid charm]

I was like "who the hell are the tigers", I forgot that was their logo

maybe

[hidden vault]

Dallas should really get a korean support

[onyx shore]

is it better to play winston on high sens?

[grizzled trout]

I'll see one more map to be sure

[torpid charm]

watch 2nd map then go snooze

[grizzled trout]

Yea

[median coyote]

I miss that first Anubis with these teams... I had hopes 2cp would be exciting

[paper crag]

dallas just needs a korean support duo, and tank duo, and then start using rascal/effect duo more

[hidden vault]

Maybe a French Tank if they wanma keep aKm and Unkoe

[torpid charm]

WAIT

THAT WAS ADAM FROM FUN HAUS OMG

[rain pewter]

@paper crag so... a korean team? 🤔

[paper crag]

@rain pewter shhhhhh

[median coyote]

No. An NA team full of Koreans

You know, like NY

[nova pelican]

effect is furious

[paper crag]

it's just effect + 5 koreans

run 6 korean squad and 6 french squad

[onyx shore]

well

[grizzled trout]

Xepher not doing complete shit

[onyx shore]

xepher isn't doing so bad

and gambler is doing fine

[grizzled trout]

He got zunba soul

Gambler is good

We don't worry about him

[torpid charm]

#BringTobiBack

[paper crag]

i feel like widow is one of the heroes that looks pretty bad in almost all team skins

[nova pelican]

unkoe lookin like a meanie

[median coyote]

On a scale of 1-Unkoe how tilted is the team right now

[torpid charm]

it's because of her blue skin

[paper crag]

yeah

[nova pelican]

effect is about to go ultra instinct

[paper crag]

it also needs that pearlish glow of her original skin

without that, her suit looks really weird

like play doh

[torpid charm]

I fuck with that vision

[vagrant niche]

Ka ka ka kachi daze

[torpid charm]

Tobi 😍

[vagrant niche]

Effect blanco when?

[nova pelican]

sooooooooooooon

[paper crag]

XQ who?

is this DF's secret weapon?

[median coyote]

What do you guys think, rascal in? Or DF keeps throwing?

[median saddle]

why not both

[paper crag]

nah, angry effect does better this round

[torpid charm]

what is up with Uber's hair

[paper crag]

then seoul switches in some A squadders

then DF puts in rascal

and rascal mei destroys the tiebreaker

[median coyote]

It just keeps escalating. I like it

[paper crag]

👌

[median coyote]

Top 10 anime battles

[vagrant niche]

wasn't there some beef between rascal and kyky?

[paper crag]

dude if it actually works out that way, this would be a pretty hype match

[median saddle]

that was like two weeks ago

[median coyote]

Sorta. But it's old enough that hell still play

[paper crag]

depends on how petty kyky is

how petty is kyky?

[median coyote]

11 petty

[paper crag]

out of 10?

[median coyote]

Out of 5

I know that Effect and Unkoe are pissed rn

[nova pelican]

cant believe rascal not on this map

[paper crag]

wow mercy got deleted

[grizzled trout]

[median coyote]

They were probably betting on Pharah. Which is stupid because rascal can Ana

[nova pelican]

[grizzled trout]

Oof

[median coyote]

Wow. Impressive

[torpid charm]

nice zoning blade

[ruby pendant]

[median saddle]

AKM's genji

less than desirable

[vagrant niche]

zoning blade

[paper crag]

hey akm thinks it's as good as rascal

[ruby pendant]

Why do teams tend to lose the point in the last 30 seconds?

[nova pelican]

sweet sleep

idk happens in all my games as well

[paper crag]

increased focus i guess

psychology shit

w/e

[median coyote]

In ladder? Everyone actually pushes together and uses ults

[ruby pendant]

Sucks to lose the point like that

[median coyote]

In pro games? They've finally built an ult advantage

[torpid charm]

Fleta clicking on everyone's head

[ruby pendant]

Maybe it's the ult resources or psychology like you all said

[paper crag]

oh shit he lived lol

nano winston so scary

[torpid charm]

surprisingly

[paper crag]

no boost 😦

effect getting MED

MEHD

[balmy wolf]

[grizzled trout]

Effect dang

[balmy wolf]

c9

[median coyote]

Unkoes face

[grizzled trout]

Mickie still looks :)

[ruby pendant]

lol stress

[pearl stratus]

Effect looks tilted.

After those sleeps.

[balmy wolf]

Watching dallas lose is my favorite past time

[solar trout]

;-;

[grizzled trout]

Why

[median coyote]

Unkoes blink was like "I used to be on a decent team"

[balmy wolf]

pass time?

[nova pelican]

akm getting roasted

[grizzled trout]

Yea lol

[balmy wolf]

yeah, pass time

[grizzled trout]

Yeah why

[balmy wolf]

Cause I dont like dallas

the city

[grizzled trout]

oh

[balmy wolf]

or their teams

[median coyote]

That's fair

[balmy wolf]

so i dont like fuel by default

[torpid charm]

Dallas big mad

[grizzled trout]

Full hold incoming :((((

[median coyote]

At least be fair to the players who may or may not have ever stepped foot in Dallas

[grizzled trout]

jk

Ryu lucio?

[paper crag]

lol full hold

[balmy wolf]

no.

[median coyote]

K

[paper crag]

blizzard has such a hard on for dreads/tentacle/nerve bundle hair

[balmy wolf]

ana dreads when?

full hold ex dee

[torpid charm]

Lucio's dreads look like brown noodles but then I remember they're supposed to look like wires

[glacial sleet]

damn what a juggle

[median coyote]

Fleta just assassinates him

[solar trout]

I know how scary gamsu+striker are
Should effect try to synergize with OGE?

Effect has fully proven how good he is. Fuel just needs a bit more teamwork it seems

[balmy wolf]

I miss rjh ana

[grizzled trout]

Effect stop god damnit

[ruby pendant]

That was intense

[median coyote]

We all do

[balmy wolf]

i know he just played her but I want more

I'm a rjh ana fan

[paper crag]

would it not have been worth it for mickie to boost in, or was his boost already on cooldown

[median coyote]

I miss when Ana was meta

[balmy wolf]

ana was fair because she was hard

[paper crag]

i feel like mickie keeps missing the contest by a hair :\

[balmy wolf]

zen is much easier than ana

[glacial sleet]

wait what happened to tobi

benched?

[ruby pendant]

Testing roster

[median coyote]

80 damage Ana shots were really what made it interesting. Jehong could deal dps like no other Ana

[balmy wolf]

what if they buffed scoped dmg but kept everything the same?

[paper crag]

okay, if ana did 80 dmg. RJH ana or jjonak zen?

[balmy wolf]

maybe a chat for another channel.

i still like rjh zen too

[ruby pendant]

Ana would be too op

[median coyote]

Jjonak Zen probably

[ruby pendant]

lol

Fleta

[balmy wolf]

FLETA

[grizzled trout]

Gogogogogo

Pls

[slim summit]

what was that stick

[balmy wolf]

stick it to the ground!

[median saddle]

get effect off this team

[paper crag]

oh snap

[median saddle]

he could be so much better

[median coyote]

Wut

[grizzled trout]

Nooooo

[median coyote]

WUT

[slim summit]

holy shit

[solar trout]

:D

[slim summit]

unreal

[brisk sluice]

1-1

[median coyote]

LH were always the stall kings

[solar trout]

:D :D

[paper crag]

LOLWUT

[glacial sleet]

rap god

holy

[balmy wolf]

good hold

[nova pelican]

wow

[grizzled trout]

Bro wtf I'm honestly done

[median coyote]

Weird place to put up a hold too

[vagrant niche]

BURN BLUEEEEEEE

[paper crag]

characteristic defensive dominance of Dallas?

[grizzled trout]

Munchkin wtf were those sticks

[tawny sigil]

that kid is crying

[paper crag]

awwww lil' seoul boy disappointed

😦

[grizzled trout]

Its fine tho

Gud match

[balmy wolf]

that kid is a bandwagoner

[paper crag]

i mean

[balmy wolf]

!

[pearl stratus]

Those OW headphones are cool looking.

[paper crag]

it's gonna be a 3-1 anyway

[pearl stratus]

Probably garbage quality.

But look cool.

[torpid charm]

I love watching the slow mo sleep darts

[paper crag]

it's just a matter of when that Dallas 1 happens

[median coyote]

Why is my ad muted

[pearl stratus]

Probably Beats or some other garbage.

[median coyote]

Why am I complaining

[paper crag]

what's the control map gonna be?

[nova pelican]

this is the best song

[paper crag]

ilios?

[median coyote]

Nepal

[paper crag]

i wonder if rascal will play

[median coyote]

Nepal can Pharah. If they still think AKM is the better Pharah then maybe not

[grizzled trout]

I don't kno if I can sleep on 1-1

[paper crag]

i feel like akm's been doing okayish today

that tac visor at numbani was big

[torpid charm]

apparently he just got back from Korea so I'm not sure if Rascal will play

[paper crag]

oh yeah that's true

[median coyote]

They'd be deciding as of mid map

[nova pelican]

evenly matched

[torpid charm]

I don't care enough about Seoul or Dallas to finish watching but if Tobi comes in, pls let me know

[paper crag]

DUDE THEY'RE COMPLETELY EVEN ON TIME PLAYED ON DVA! WHAT A RIVALRY!

[solar trout]

lol nyxl has the lowest playercount in the league. 9 people in their team. Yet their are #1 by a large margin.
Shanghai Dragons has the most with 12. They're in last.

[median coyote]

I mean, london was at 12 for stage 1 and won it

[paper crag]

there are so many teams at 11 players right now

[solar trout]

4

[paper crag]

i feel like it'd make sense to go for 12 so you can scrim internally

[median coyote]

Puckett no. Don't hope for 5 maps. I have to sleep

[paper crag]

unless internal scrims aren't worth much

[pearl stratus]

Internal scrims, and in case people are sick/injured.

[solar trout]

3 with 12
4 with 11
3 with 10
2 with 9

[paper crag]

screaming internally

[pearl stratus]

Internal scrims are good for when you're testing something you don't want to shoiw.

[median coyote]

Valiant seemed to think it isnt

[pearl stratus]

If you're just doing like..

Standard dive.

Scrim whoever.

[paper crag]

like 10 player roster, i can get it. i feel like 11 is kind of that area where you might as well just get another one

i wonder if they're just keeping a slot open for a good snag from contenders

[median coyote]

Honestly just play against your contenders team

[pearl stratus]

Some Rosters are also just inflated with extra trash they're not releasing though.

Contenders teams are useless.

[solar trout]

With a few of these teams it feels like there is so much talent on the bench that a whole new good team can be built off it

[pearl stratus]

They're not on Lan.

And you're not going to practice not on lan.

Thats like telling a football team to practice on their knees.

Some of the talent is useless talent though Heumann.

[supple prism]

aww sweet i got the 100 bonus

[pearl stratus]

Like Mendo, for instance, who everyone is like "I LOVE HIS STREAM PLAY HIM"

He's literally useless and should be released.

He doesn't want to play, he rarely goes to scrims, doesn't show up to vod reviews.

[solar trout]

fair enough

[glacial sleet]

fleta not meta

[nova pelican]

why did he even join

[pearl stratus]

I think its easy to think you want to do OWL.

Then you realize you're moving internationally.

And it catches up to you.

Then he got sick too.

Internationally, without his family etc.

It's probably mentally very straining for someone his age.

[paper crag]

and then your team does better than everyone expected without you

😛

[nova pelican]

what do you think about iddqd is he not good enough

[solar trout]

mccree specialist

hard to work him in

:C

[pearl stratus]

I think IDDQD had a bad hero pool for the first stages.

So he made himself redundant by not having a pool.

[nova pelican]

poor guy he really hates the bench

[paper crag]

lol sideshow cast

[pearl stratus]

Look at SDB. He rides the bench, do we think he's not good enough?

[paper crag]

he's gonna change it in a week or something though probably

[solar trout]

Still though, several players are known for zarya and never play her.
Several players are known for ana and hardly ever play her.

[pearl stratus]

That's meta.

Not them.

[tawny sigil]

lol his reaction

[solar trout]

AKM is known for soldier, but soldier is hard to use vs dive

[pearl stratus]

Zarya doesn't fit in on any of these maps really.

[solar trout]

IDDQD could probably do decent on another hero, but I think his team has failed him.

[pearl stratus]

I think you're insanely underrating how useless someone is with a small hero pool.

In terms of a DPS slot.

[paper crag]

every time i see seoul mercy, i feel like she's about to go to a funeral

[solar trout]

Then again they have danteh, babybay, sinatraa, etc who are also all super good

[pearl stratus]

They also have good pools.

Danteh grinded out a much larger pool that he entered with.

[solar trout]

whos to say iddqd couldn't do the same?
I haven't heard anything from the man himself

[pearl stratus]

And when it comes to hitscan, Babybay is arguably better than IDDQD anyway.

And can flex to other things like Widow.

[median coyote]

Also, you don't need much of a pool if you play the best Tracer on your team usually

[pearl stratus]

While thats true, most Tracers do have a pool.

They just don't need to use them.

Look at Soon, Saebyolbe, Carpe, etc.

[median coyote]

SBB probably least of all

[solar trout]

Liquipedia says iddqd has a hero pool of mccree first and foremost
Tracer, soldier, and widow

He isn't a one trick

[pearl stratus]

Yeah but we've seen him Widow, and McCree.

[nova pelican]

nah sbb plays a lot

[pearl stratus]

He just doesn't need to.

[median coyote]

He can, but rarely does. Libero or pine covers it

[pearl stratus]

Especially since Libero picked up Widow in Stage 2.

Which was completely new, btw.

[paper crag]

malik either needs to dress more hypebeast or more formally

[median coyote]

Like I said, all you need is to be the best Tracer

[pearl stratus]

Libero had never been on Widow other than the finals.

[solar trout]

Iddqd is either underperforming in internal scrims(If he is ever present) or the coach sucks

[paper crag]

he looks like he literally just came from the streets after a burger

[pearl stratus]

He's probably not in the scrims.

[paper crag]

rascal

[median coyote]

Stop showing me uber

[paper crag]

we gonna see some rascal mei?

[pearl stratus]

They're probably using IDDQD for vod review stuff.

[median coyote]

I love the guy but the hair and shirt are killing me

[paper crag]

the gold and blue is a pretty nice contrast

[solar trout]

they forgot xqc lol

[pearl stratus]

Well I mean

He played what.

2 games?

That's forgettable.

[solar trout]

rip

[paper crag]

i just hate watching nyxl vs dallas and their shades are so close to each other on the map score page

[tawny sigil]

dallas... speed dating of main tank lol

[pearl stratus]

After looking at the new merch I just want Shanghai to petition the league for new colors.

I want the red + blakc.

[median coyote]

Not sure I've seen effect mei. At least outside of 2cp second

[pearl stratus]

Mei's Effect is decent.

[median saddle]

huh?

[pearl stratus]

Dallas uses the most unusual strats, they'll be interesting.

[pallid gust]

Too bad it's not me from this patch

[median saddle]

you mean Effect's Mei right

[pallid gust]

Mei*

[pearl stratus]

Yeah I decided to be dyslexic.

[tawny sigil]

he was waiting to say that one so hard

[solar trout]

lol rascal's tire was funny to watch

[paper crag]

has there been mei rascal?

or no

i was gone for a min

[median coyote]

No

[paper crag]

yeah didn't think so

[pearl stratus]

They just swapped

[median coyote]

And effect had to switch to deal with pharah

[paper crag]

i think she's kind of usable in sanctum though

[pearl stratus]

But Rascal went to Junk sadly.

She's useable in a few points.

[paper crag]

probably not in village though

[grizzled trout]

Welp

[glacial sleet]

:OOOOOOO

[solar trout]

channel your inner jardio

[pearl stratus]

I think she'd be fine in Village if Fleta hadn't had been on Pharah.

[glacial sleet]

dallas fuel reformed??

[solar trout]

too early to call anime

[paper crag]

we don't know yet

[glacial sleet]

call me anime one more time

[paper crag]

control has been DF's strong suit too

[solar trout]

c:

[median coyote]

Fleta Pharah into a Mei Junkrat =/ yeah not the best matchup for those dps

Worked out tho

[sand dust]

effect is so smiley, feelsgoodman

[pearl stratus]

Bye Harry.

[solar trout]

rip effect

[nova pelican]

what a hook

[paper crag]

wtf

took a bite out of a sandwich

[glacial sleet]

HaRrYhOoK gEtS hOoKeD

[paper crag]

3 DF dead

[pearl stratus]

I kind of wonder where Zunba went that Xepher is playing though.

[nova pelican]

wrist injury

[ruby pendant]

wow

[sand dust]

fleta is nuts lol

[glacial sleet]

fleta is using a fletabot

[ruby pendant]

It's like he knows where they are without radar

[pearl stratus]

Rofl

[median coyote]

Effect really tried grinding Widow but it's honestly just not his hero. Definitely not up against Fleta at least

[pearl stratus]

Effect is a really good Widow.

[sand dust]

lol what do you even do here

[pearl stratus]

Fleta is just better.

Fleta has 67% crit accuracy scoped. That's ridiculous.

[glacial sleet]

man

[pallid gust]

Felta Is just destroying, daaamn

[glacial sleet]

playing against a good widow has got to be the most frustrating thing

[sand dust]

that really is disgusting

not a good widow

arguably the best lol

[pearl stratus]

And that's interesting because Fleta normally isn't the best Widow v. Widow.

That's more Linkzr/Birdring.

[glacial sleet]

whod that be

[paper crag]

lol i was gonna say where the hell is the rest of DF

then like 3 people popped out

[pallid gust]

Classic Fuel, capping at 99

[nova pelican]

wow jehong was flying

[glacial sleet]

didn't soon wreck fleta that other day?

[paper crag]

ikr flying jehong

[ruby pendant]

lol

[sand dust]

idk, he's deleting effect here lol

[pearl stratus]

Soon did really well against him, yeah.

[ruby pendant]

so funny

[pearl stratus]

No. No high fives here.

[nova pelican]

he left him hanging wow

[pearl stratus]

Wekeed.

Wekeed is shaped like a rip tire.

[glacial sleet]

lol

[median coyote]

Straight dive

[pearl stratus]

I like the Jersey + Hoodie look so much more than straight jersey.

[nova pelican]

wekeeds eyes look dead

[pearl stratus]

Fleta continuing to just delete Effect.

[median coyote]

Fingers crossed he gets angry

[pearl stratus]

Side Tangent. These random company BBQ Tikka Masala chips I found are delicious and make watching e-sports more enjoyable.

[paper crag]

give us the brand name

don't leave us hanging

[pearl stratus]

Al Chipino.

Not even making it up.

[pallid gust]

lol that's great

[median coyote]

Beautiful from rascal

Playing around cover and deleting supports while Fleta can't see him

[pearl stratus]

Rascals Pharah is really solid.

he plays it so much on stream.

[ruby pendant]

Finally ana back

[median coyote]

Fuel need to embrace that. Feels like they trust AKM Pharah too much

[pearl stratus]

I think overall they prefer Rascal over AKM.

But Rascal did just get back from Korea like.. today.

[sand dust]

ana play ❤

[median saddle]

well who doesn't

[glacial sleet]

nice anti

[pearl stratus]

So I can understand them being worried about jet lag and stuff.

Miro with the full bait.

[median coyote]

I wonder if jehong sees a Pharah and just thinks "finally! An excuse to play Ana"

[pearl stratus]

Playing like old Miro.

[glacial sleet]

damn

[sand dust]

damn, outplayed on rein by miro

[ruby pendant]

Ana be saving the game

[grizzled trout]

Thank god

[pearl stratus]

Haven't seen Miro play like Old Miro in a while.

[glacial sleet]

but dallas reformed 😦

[sand dust]

feel like oge should have seen the counter slam coming there

[pearl stratus]

Get that ugly mistake off the camera.

No one wants to see that kid.

[grizzled trout]

No map 5 pls

[paper crag]

wasn't he in a seoul shirt?

[pearl stratus]

No clue, honestly.

[paper crag]

now he's hiding his team shirt because seoul was looking like they might lose

i think it's the same kid

[pearl stratus]

The only Mistake we should see is on Boston.

[pallid gust]

lmao

[twin yacht]

Oge is super aggressivr

[paper crag]

watch him back in seoul shirt next game cuz seoul is ahead

[twin yacht]

Holy crap

[pearl stratus]

Also in memoram of a certain player they should probably avoid showing all children.

[sand dust]

lol

[twin yacht]

Bro, Boston should trade for seagull

Too bad they can't lol

[pearl stratus]

Too much $$$.

[nova pelican]

seagull isnt good widow though

[pearl stratus]

If Slasher is to be believed.

[grizzled trout]

Seagull expensive

[nova pelican]

they need kazper level

[pearl stratus]

Seagull wanted to be traded and was expensive,.

I think Mistakes will be fine tbh.

It'll take a while.

But he's got a decent widow, mccree, somba and tracer.

We've seen Striker swap to other things too now.

Which means they could rotate Tracers as situation demands.

Making them an interesting duo.

[median coyote]

Needs projectile tho

One of them will have to grind it out

[pearl stratus]

Mistakes played Genji against a team too.

I don't remember which team.

It was a passable Genji.

[paper crag]

oge looks like a tank

[twin yacht]

Still feel like seagull is an improvement

[nova pelican]

mistakes must play it all

[pearl stratus]

Kind of like Danteh level.

[grizzled trout]

I forgot about oge

[twin yacht]

Oge is super yolo strats

[pearl stratus]

OGE needs to slap whoever put the bowl on his head and went to town.

[twin yacht]

And Mickie doesn't know what to do yet

[pearl stratus]

This isn't 1998. Bowl cuts are out.

[paper crag]

tryin that jonak cut

someone's gotta have the blonde bowl cut bro

[pearl stratus]

Get that Pine nerd cut.

The Peri Peri are not as good as the BBQ Tikka Masala

... Is Soe wearing mom jeans?

[solar trout]

dinnasty

[grizzled trout]

I was right

[pearl stratus]

Those are totally mom jeans.

[sand dust]

that's the style now

[nova pelican]

lookin thicker than a snicker in those jeans

[paper crag]

mom jeans can be fashionable

[median coyote]

That pattycake

[pearl stratus]

How is Mr. X like... the best dressed one today.

Ubers shirt looks like a Jackson Pollock of semen stains.

[paper crag]

no subs this round right?

[pearl stratus]

Didn't see any.

I'm glad we're seeing more Wekeed.

[median coyote]

Rosters look the same too

[pearl stratus]

Munchkin has been... underwhelming lately.

[median coyote]

Rawhide?

[pearl stratus]

I was glad to see Bunny get play time today.

Him and Soon were a scary combo.

[grizzled trout]

It's just munchkins sticks

[pearl stratus]

I think in a straight 1:1 that Bunny was the better Tracer, honestly.

[grizzled trout]

Hm

[pearl stratus]

Munchkin has the aggression I think is good in a Tracer, but not the tracking/stick ability.

So its detrimental.

[grizzled trout]

Yeah

[paper crag]

huh seems like the first point went swimmingly

oof

[median coyote]

Bodyblocked that pulse I think

[pearl stratus]

Angry Effect has awakened.

[paper crag]

that bomb ended up becoming a bait for the supports too

[nova pelican]

esketit map 5

[pearl stratus]

I wish I could have that timing memorized.

To recall during a D'va bomb and not die.

[median saddle]

Effect

if Dallas win this series get him a Chiropractor

[paper crag]

gotta take that gamble

what fun is life without a little gamble?

[median coyote]

This is pretty crazy. Like Fuel actually practiced just this map or something

[paper crag]

lol oge

going ham

[pearl stratus]

Yeah apparently Route 66 is Dallas' secret weapon.

[median saddle]

if Seagull plays instead of Mickie then this would actually be the ideal Fuel roster

with the players they have

[paper crag]

scouting rip tire 200 IQ?

[solid canyon]

Who are you and what have you done with the entire team of Dallas??? Roll and smoked lul...

[paper crag]

wow DF does not back down lol

[pearl stratus]

Effect so aggro right now.

[paper crag]

that crawl

[sand dust]

super happy for dallas here

[paper crag]

dat payload crawl lol

[spring lintel]

Insane delay

[median coyote]

They stall so well

[nova pelican]

wow

[solid canyon]

Get Seagull in and they win....

[pearl stratus]

I mean that's been their thing

[tawny sigil]

dallas went primal rage on this one

[pearl stratus]

Forever.

[paper crag]

oh ouch i just saw the back of OGE's head

[pearl stratus]

Reverse sweeping and stalling points.

LH Specials.

[sand dust]

lmaoo

[paper crag]

shit bro how much you pay for that?

[solid canyon]

2:30......

[spring lintel]

Nyxl does it better

[pearl stratus]

Actually London does it best.

Since they tend to win their stalls.

Constantly.

[spring lintel]

Stall and reverse the match with less players

[paper crag]

i hope this stage final is also a reverse sweep

[nova pelican]

jehong sweating

[paper crag]

or that fusion wins it

[solid canyon]

Envys is back???

[spring lintel]

Nyxl loses 2 players early and still wins the fight

[pearl stratus]

I mean Envy is back.

Because they got rid of all the trash that was on Envy.

It was a perfect plan.

[paper crag]

so either "every stage final is a reverse sweep" or "2nd place last stage wins this stage" is a thing

[median coyote]

Wonder how many kills Seoul got. Just before the stall the casters said only 1

[solid canyon]

EnVy is almost back

[grizzled trout]

Fined

[solid canyon]

*almost

[pearl stratus]

EffectVy.

[sand dust]

lmao

[pearl stratus]

Everyone else is garbage.

[solid canyon]

get Seagull in and EnVy is back

[median coyote]

Sledgehammer to the face during plastic surgery

[spring lintel]

Their current roster is the best

[pearl stratus]

Dallas has figured out the plan.

[median saddle]

did miro

just jump off a cliff

[pearl stratus]

DIVE FLETA ALWAYS.

[spring lintel]

They just need to improve on this roster

[solid canyon]

lul

Miro lul

[pearl stratus]

Rascals corpse just went flying, lmao.
