I Zarya right clicked a tire today.

That prediction made me so happy.

I can't watch 😦
tawny sigil
2:30 on payload map is HUGE
slim summit
I'm at the movies
I have an idea
Someone @ me if Dallas wins
Otherwise do nothing
Then I'll know from the vibration
pearl stratus
Gambler playing Tag.
median coyote
Dallas might win this map. Does that count?
tawny sigil
payload never stoped for dallas exept on the final stall
pearl stratus
Went full Lucio, had like 3 people running after him.
paper crag
i feel like seoul vs DF is especially wipe-y compared to other matchups
pearl stratus
I mean no matter what states Dallas in.
They always play well against Seoul.
It's like Houston v. London.
paper crag
either one side gets wiped out real quick or it just goes on until one side is wiped
without much hard resetting
median saddle
Fuel's route 66 is actually really well coordinated
median saddle
why can't they do that every map
paper crag
because this map is special i guess
tawny sigil
payload isn't moving at all... point B will only happen in overtime
pearl stratus
Dallas took up a super weird position
And I think its confusing Seoul.
The supports are back where Seoul comes in from.
spring lintel
Dallas spread out af
tawny sigil
mathematically impossible for seoul to finish this map with more than 30sec

Damn

REFORMED

So glad I stayed up

Dallas disengagement is insane

wtf OGE don't lift Effect's spirits with that dirty high five
tawny sigil
that haircut FailFish
paper crag
sabotage confirmed
median saddle
gg effect is happy

they need angry effect
median coyote
ONE soft throwing with the PMA
paper crag
OGE is throwing
sand dust
effect has been grinning a lot between these matches. he's feeling good
spring lintel
Whats next map?
sand dust
confident grin, i'd say
paper crag
it's the sadistic grin of a psychopath
tawny sigil
finally a not 04watch match
sand dust
like he knows he is about to whoop some ass
pearl stratus
Nah Happy Grin is the "My girlfriend just shoved my face in her chest' grin. It's much much different.
spring lintel
If it’s koth and illios, seoul will win
spring lintel
If it is illios dallas wins
pearl stratus
Ilios could not go to Seoul, all depends on Order.
If they get Ruins in early, Seoul has a better chance.
spring lintel
Yup
pearl stratus
Cause Fleta will be on Widow in the back.
median coyote
Fleta ruins... Oof
dusky canopy
It'll be Oasis
pearl stratus
Oasis is straight 50/50.

i actually kinda like oasis

stomp
paper crag
4-0
pearl stratus
Pretty stomp.
glacial sleet
nice
pearl stratus
4-0, but not close game 4-0.
spring lintel
I mean it’s not that shocking if they lose
pearl stratus
4-0 to me doesn't inherently mean stomp.
paper crag
i'd be so triggered if i got 4-0'd but every single game was insanely close
median saddle
6-9 KD
pearl stratus
Because all four games can be close as hell.

👽 OVERRATED
tawny sigil
stage 3 so far looks like london and seoul aren't making it to play off
median saddle
LAV, NYXL and who
median saddle
LAG?
spring lintel
London might hop back
pearl stratus
London ALWAYS loses to Houston.
paper crag
i don't think i've seen a close 4-0 yet though
pearl stratus
Literally 3 stage sin a row.
paper crag
has there been one yet
median coyote
Don't judge Seoul by DF or London by Houston
tawny sigil
we'll have to see, they have 0 win so far
pearl stratus
They got their two maps out of the way.
spring lintel
Not just this one
pearl stratus
NYXL could have gone either way, Houston they were going to lose.
pearl stratus
The rest of their match ups are easy, minus Philly.
dusky canopy
Battle of the Overrated Teams
paper crag
ehhh dallas is no longer overrated imo
tawny sigil
does seoul and london fight this stage?
pearl stratus
London plays Florida next.
grizzled trout
Neither are anymore

Both teams get the shit now
pearl stratus
When they play LAV.

mickie zarya?
tawny sigil
boston with either sky rocket or drop miserably cause of dreamkazper
paper crag
aww
south pelican
Wow Dallas might have a chance
spring lintel
Boston lav fusion nyxl london are the strongest teams rn
tawny sigil
time will tell
pearl stratus
Boston probably isn't anymore.
spring lintel
Yeah
pearl stratus
I expect a 2-3 week dip while they adjust to Mistakes.
Then they'll start doing okay again.
median saddle
LAG could take their spot
tawny sigil
who knows dreamkazper being kicked could have a huge positive impact who knows
paper crag
"lost once" doesn't exactly sound like a confidence booster though
spring lintel
I don’t think so
median coyote
Mickie OGE looked real nice there
grizzled trout
Yea my team is fucked
paper crag
but pls don't let this be another Nepal with Seoul winning the last two maps
pearl stratus
I doubt it, while it surfaced that DK was creepy he was a huge positive impact on his team
pallid gust
Clean Team fight
dusky canopy
OGE>XQC
spring lintel
Yeah
pearl stratus
Mickie > xQC.
glacial sleet
looking forward to lag vs lav reformed teams
pearl stratus
Mickie played more main tank games than xQc just about.
dusky canopy
literal gorilla > XQC
median saddle
wasn't Kazper also a shotcaller
spring lintel
Lav is the best western team but i need to see them vsing fusion
paper crag
ouch
pearl stratus
Somewhat, yeah.
paper crag
at least EMP didn't get canceled
pearl stratus
Yeah, imagine if they got the cancel.
paper crag
whose emp got canceled last week? i forget
median saddle
that bait onto ryu
paper crag
it was volskaya
median saddle
was clean
paper crag
fight looking good
spring lintel
Tbf ryu didnt have a choice
pearl stratus
Both people did exactly what they should.
paper crag
was an optimistic pulse bomb
spring lintel
If they had a bridgitte with zen, the sombra would havev died
pearl stratus
Yeah this type of mapw ill be where you want Brig.
forest wharf
FLETAFIST
pearl stratus
But Brig + Zen is super low healing.
paper crag
that last fight looked pretty favorable at first too :\
pearl stratus
So you'll probably see 1:2:3, or 0:3:3 with her.
spring lintel
Yeah thats the problem
glacial sleet
wait wtf
grizzled trout
Omfg
glacial sleet
did fuel c9
spring lintel
But maybe replace a dps
pearl stratus
No
grizzled trout
My heart is pounding
tawny sigil
no
median saddle
gambler capped
pearl stratus
Fuel played that properly.
grizzled trout
League will kill me
pearl stratus
Effect had already been off point.
Gambler showed some super huge game sense.
By using his GA to fly onto point and heal
And got the flip before Effect killed him
glacial sleet
still c9
pearl stratus
I would say more back cap than C9.
median saddle
yes
glacial sleet
nah dude c8
paper crag
heh, c8
spring lintel
Brig + mccree combo as dps sounds interesting
paper crag
bye effect
pearl stratus
Brig + Reaper, imo.
Depending on what the meta is.
Her being able to disable someone for the two shotgun shots is kind of awesome.
pearl stratus
I think on maps like this we won't see long range damage.
I think we'll see a lot of 0:3:3
Or 1:2:3.
paper crag
oh man dallas will be so angry if they go home with a loss tonight after game 5
pearl stratus
With Brig around.
Because of how much Brig enables Rein + Zarya (and counters Rein too)
south pelican
make it 1-1 99:99
spring lintel
On last map they shouldnt have saved ults
They should have used ults to keep stalling
Maybe even win since they had ult economy
HUGE OGE

You could see OGE and Mickie talking between each round

Which is huge since Dallas normally doesn't talk

oh man that must be devastating

Alright well. Still a good game. Oasis looked like it could have gone either way on both maps
pearl cedar
that was actually a really good game
paper crag
yeah
forest wharf
unlike the rape of the first 2 games
pearl stratus
We also got to see RHJ Ana.
twin yacht
I cant tell if that was Dallas being good
pearl cedar
for his first series with dallas
pearl stratus
Which is the real victory.
sand dust
great match, actually
twin yacht
Or Seoul being bad
pearl cedar
OGE looks like he's boosting dallas
pearl stratus
And RHJ Ana trolled the shit out of Effect.
grizzled trout
very good
paper crag
maybe there's something to look forward to in DF vs LAV
solar trout
spicy menace
paper crag
although LAV did 4-0 Seoul
grizzled trout
Aw fuck just remembered its 1 now
paper crag
although Seoul was a B squad there
grizzled trout
I mean xepher was on today
glacial sleet
saw this on twitch
paper crag
but still, DF played against half A squad
forest wharf
no rjh no win pretty much
grizzled trout
And gambler
glacial sleet
"oge can't run a boosting company if he's boosted"
paper crag
67% A squad lol
glacial sleet
omegalul
pearl stratus
I mean I don't always agree with OGE.
But he only boosted like... one account.
He made $200.
That's super minimal.
He's no Sado.
grizzled trout
11th best?
glacial sleet
xqc mad
grizzled trout
Shanghai 12th best 👏👏👏
glacial sleet
time for some juicy leaks and drama
paper crag
dreama
paper crag
no dreama is perfect
glacial sleet
LOL
forest wharf
been like that since stage 1, almost every single game rjh isnt in they lose
pearl stratus
I'm waiting for xQc to leak something he really shouldn't.
glacial sleet
whatever
paper crag
like daddy dream
pearl stratus
And they just delete his stream.
paper crag
i'm pretty impressed by how quickly the daddy dream gossip flame died down though
grizzled trout
Gambler got away alot
pearl stratus
@paper crag Because it was handled quickly and efficiently, and Boston didn't talk about it.
They just went Suspended -> Released.
No other comments.
grizzled trout
Tobi mercy would of died in a lot of those moments
glacial sleet
wait
pearl stratus
Kraft organization knows how to handle that shit.
glacial sleet
but they released him so it must be true
forest wharf
i doubt he would be term'd if at least some of it wasnt true
pearl stratus
You have to remember who owns Boston.
glacial sleet
true
pearl stratus
Kraft owns Boston. He doesn't fuck around with that shit.
glacial sleet
plus makes the league look bad
pearl stratus
He probably got the message of it, and just said to cut him.
Remember, Kraft let Hernandez go to jail and hang himself.
They don't fuck around.
paper crag
ugh i wish DF had won at least a round at Oasis
pearl stratus
They almost won both of them.
paper crag
99%-99% for both maps and losing both
pearl stratus
Which makes it more frustrating lol
glacial sleet
so there's not going to be a lawsuit or official investigation
pearl stratus
There might.
forest wharf
i mean yea, but if it was really completely fake they probably would have fought it or dk wouldve said something
pearl stratus
We'll never hear of it.
They wouldn't have.
Anomander you really don't understand how PR works.
That allegation kills you.
Whether its true or not.
If it later turns out you didn't do anything, awesome.
But you're still done.
grizzled trout
Gn fellow owl watchers
glacial sleet
xqc's reaction
forest wharf
obviously yea, he was fucked either way but for no info to drop at all seems pretty sketch
pearl stratus
Think if literally anyone falsely accused of rape - your verdict doesn't matter.
And for no info to drop means the organization handled it properly, imo.
You don't leak that shit either way. You stay quiet and it disappears.
No ones talking about it anymore and it happened like... 3days ago.
Thats a huge win for htem.
forest wharf
dream was probably kidnapped(lul) and dropped in some cockmeat sandwich jail silently
pearl stratus
Doubt it.
Everything was pretty circumstancial, burden of proof would have been hard to meet.
But it doesn' tmatter either way.
Goodbye DK.

ah ive watched that video a ton of times but i never recognized his name from that til owl

fucking shock throwing so hard last night
"no sombra is totally working against this pharah, yep lets keep going"
tawdry dew
yeah that was a painful game to watch if you are a shock fan
I'm impressed how well fuel held up against dynasty
fresh turret
The Ilios lighthouse fight tho...
sudden prawn
like what was the coach on shock doing?
"OK guys, i was watching some gold/plat gameplay and we don't need a hitscan of any kind to deal with this pharah. just keep ignoring her"
red anvil
which map was it?
hazy arrow
I still have no idea what happened in first round at Oasis. Fuel had he point under the control and then they just let Seoul cap it?
red anvil
and what dpses did shock run?
hazy arrow
Its a shame cos we had a chance
sudden prawn
it was ilios @red anvil
dva, winston, lucio, zen, tracer, sombra
LA was dva winston mercy zen pharah tracer
agilities just controlled everyone with pharah. had like 40+ elims
red anvil
which illios map?
sudden prawn
all of them. he fucked everyone up with pharah and they never switched
red anvil
ouch
some maps you can genji tracer into pharah, because you just have to force fight at point
sudden prawn
yeah, the casters were like "come on architect, switch"
and they never did
they just ran themselves into the ground
red anvil
i'll watch the match once i get home
pearl stratus
To touch back on it, I think its a cultural difference. Fissure hates boosters because they're (acceptably) beneath him from the level he comes from.
Boosters aren't able to play in Korea if they're caught, they're basically trash people.
So now he comes to OWL for the "next level" of OW talent.
limber pine
mudbloods
pearl stratus
And suddenly he gets people who aren't even able to play the pro-scene in Korea.
From a team perspective, boosters are like buying cattle.
They don't have any other options, and you can get them super cheap.
Because they're not people anymore.
Because what are they going to do, reject your minimum contract and go back to boosting or working at McDonalds? Not like they can find another team
Also the responses on Twitter slaughtered Kyky even more.
Someone in the Envy org should take away the mans phone
vagrant niche
what did they said?
is it the AKM genji thing?
to be fair, rascal kind of underperformed yesterday
red anvil
underperformed? 
vagrant niche
yes
red anvil
Did you see him on R66?
vagrant niche
hit tires and blades got shut down big time
red anvil
tires and blades gets shut down from all teams now days
except wekeed for some odd reason
vagrant niche
regardless, he underperformed compared to Seoul
is what i'm saying
so what did people said to kyky?
strong parrotBOT
Overwatch League - Season 1 - Stage 3
sudden prawn
architect never switched. like did he need to be told?
pearl stratus
Kyky is basically getting roasted again over his culture comments, and hiring a someone who worked for a boosting company.

shock was so bad

Dallas does ok vs all the big shots but they choke
and with the meh teams, they get destroyed

Shock looked okay at a good portion of moments imo but Val was just so much better
Geguri played well yesterday, I just wish the supports on Shanghai were better
vagrant niche
Bunny screwed them up
torpid charm
Fearless was kinda feeding last night a lot
vagrant niche
no Geguri was nothing special to write about
she got 2 lucky bombs while de meching
she only had one good moment on Ruins
torpid charm
I'm not talking about the bombs, I mean overall
vagrant niche
bro, she was nothing special
torpid charm
she stopped playing like she was nervous which is good
vagrant niche
Nevix is pretty meh and he was better

never said she was anything special, but she did better. New week, new opportunities to do well. her nerves washed away and it showed in her play

You're an awkward dude Adrian.

cause ADO is the only thing carrying them
torpid charm
can't wait to watch Boston

they caputred points cause him
pearl stratus
I guess.
pearl stratus
You're saying a guy whiffing three blades is good.
vagrant niche
is not like I'm saying ADO is best genji
pearl stratus
But a girl getting the most D'va kills in the league currently
Is luck
Just throwing that out there.
pearl stratus
So were Ado's good blades.
vagrant niche
is not like i'm attacking you
pearl stratus
Because he had more bad blades than good blades.
vagrant niche
Ado had better moments than Geguri
pearl stratus
Thus the good blades are only luck.
vagrant niche
is what i'm saying
pearl stratus
I'm just pointing out its a short sighted, insanely ignorant, argument.
vagrant niche
well ok brother
nova pelican
i didn't see the glad match how was diya on widow
pearl stratus
Not the best, not the worst
vagrant niche
cause he was getting dominated
pearl stratus
Surefour was going insane.
nova pelican
my boi
vagrant niche
part of it
pearl stratus
Surefour got the mind fuck from Fissure.
Since Fissure told him his widow was bad.
nova pelican
he demolished dreamkazper in that one game as well
vagrant niche
was because Shangai is like, "what is a widowmaker on the enemy team?"
just ignore her
she'll go away eventually
nova pelican
wasn't diya trying to counter him with his own widow
vagrant niche
and got dominated
pearl stratus
Part if it is also because Ado's tracer is legit bronze.
He makes Jake look good.
So Diya has to go back to Tracer a lot.
vagrant niche
their Winston was pretty garbage too
pearl stratus
They picked up Daemin for all around flex, but I think they knew Diya was going to start.
Fearless looked bad because of the lack of communication between him and supports.
None of his plays were actually wrong.
He just didn't have supports to follow up with him.
Language barriers like a mofo.
nova pelican
feelsbad
pearl stratus
It happened to OGE too.
When Mickie was too bad to follow him up on things.
So OGE would leap in and get insta-deleted.
pearl stratus
They've played together for years, so thats expected.
pearl stratus
We also got to see some random comps in the Seoul vs. Dallas game which was nice.
torpid charm
it was so weird to me seeing iRemiix on stage again, it's been so long
pearl stratus
RHJ got a bit of Ana time.
And looked disgusting as always.
Just abused the shit out of Effect on Ana, tbh.
vagrant niche
ye, i'm not a big fan of Ryujehong but i got to admit his ana play yesterday was pretty sick
pearl stratus
Him nailing Effect while Gambler was ressing.
nova pelican
if fissure had to miss any game it's a good thing it was the dragons one
pearl stratus
Was disgusting.
vagrant niche
ye that was hot, they had that on slowmo too
torpid charm
ugh I love slow mo sleep darts
nova pelican
i feel like they should have played rascal on numbani
pearl stratus
Also got to watch Miro look a year younger.
vagrant niche
@nova pelican Well, they have other good players like Shaz and S4 to back them up
pearl stratus
That was the first time Miro has looked -really- good in a while.
vagrant niche
they played well
pearl stratus
Also iRemix basically said he sits with Fissure during vod/scrims etc.
So he basically has Daddy Fissure teaching him how to Monkey.
Which is why he looked solid yesterday.
pearl stratus
Seeing Bunny play on LAV was interesting.
He didn't get all that much time on Seoul.
sudden prawn
well now that the jonak zen patch has hit, i bet we see some more ana
pearl stratus
So I think people forgot how insane he is, lol
torpid charm
I never forgot, that's why I hated seeing him be benched on Seoul, because he's pretty goddamn good
nova pelican
that's what happens when you play literally one hero
pearl stratus
Bunny put down a down payment on a house in the Shocks back line.
Moved in, lived there.
Killed the neighbors.
nova pelican
he got their supports everytime sleepy got fucked
pearl stratus
I also don't remember him missing a single stick.
torpid charm
stop, I relate to Bunny and the one trick life 
pearl stratus
I mean there's a difference.
nova pelican
smh
pearl stratus
He one tricks not garbage.
nova pelican
tracer always meta

No one cares about one tricks if one trick something useful.
"OH NO THIS GUY INSTALOCKS DVA ALL THE TIME. AVOID PLAYER."

How to remove dive in one easy step.
Just remove boosters.
Then we see Winston jumping on people while D'va waddles her fat ass over.

we might get new tank next time
the game is hurting for more tanks

and who knows the effect symetra might have vs dive now
torpid charm
#PlaySymmYouCowards
nova pelican
another mobile offtank they love dive so much might as well
torpid charm
is it half and half for number of off tanks and main tanks
pearl stratus
Tanking is gross because at one point Blizzard accidently created a tank meta.
And now they're scared of that ever happening again.
So rip tanks.
torpid charm
sad
vagrant niche
but aren't they taking measures to prevent that from happening again?
look at the reaper buffs
nova pelican
give us another high skill ceiling defense hero that makes people mad when you pick them
vagrant niche
and junkrat
vagrant niche
well, that is depending on team, but yes they are good
i find playing Rein nowdays is rough
his performance was already dependent on your team
and now he gets juggled left and right

He's my favorite tank to fuck with on Brig. Because she shuts down everything he wants and dreams.

what are y'all predictions for today

nvm we don't have that in here
XL wins
Spitfire wins
last one i'm not sure

Houston might take it
torpid charm
he can't play until Saturday but he's never played against Houston so it doesn't matter
pearl stratus
NYXL definitely, Florida definitely.
vagrant niche
I think Fragi might have a hard time vs Jakerat
pearl stratus
Philly could go 50/50 imo.
torpid charm
Philly is also 50/50 to me too.
limber pine
Phily/Houston Map pool:

OOP
pearl stratus
3/4 Junk maps, basically.
torpid charm
definitely 3-2 for someone
pearl stratus
Hey, London is 0-2 so far this stage.
vagrant niche
ye, but they have profit
pearl stratus
Of course they played NYXL and Houston, and they always lose to Houston.
vagrant niche
we'll see
limber pine
0-3 AFTER TODAY
torpid charm
Philly are anything but good on Volskaya, hella shaky on Numbani, pretty alright on Junkertown and Illios

Houston is normally insane on Junkertown.

thank you for the maps, Sprite

Unless another team plays them with their exact same style.
Which no one expected from Boston.
Boston doing a god damn mimic comp out of nowhere.
Fucked Houston like they were 14.

Jake gets play on his honorary home tonight
vagrant niche
i never cared much about boston other than DK
torpid charm
I'm hoping Mistakes does well tonight
vagrant niche
he was the only guy i liked to watch the most and ocassionaly striker
nova pelican
same ;-;
pearl stratus
I think Mistakes will be fine, eventually.
We'll see Sombra + Tracer a bunch I bet.
torpid charm
can't relate, I love Boston tanks and Striker is one of my favs in the league
pearl stratus
Or Striker Junkrat + Mistakes Tracer.
sudden prawn
NYXL gonna crush today
torpid charm
I could see that
limber pine
Mistakes playing means Striker can flex to Junkrat more
torpid charm
Striker did pretty well on Junk
nova pelican
1 guy doesn't make a team i hope they can make a close game
vagrant niche
yes we'll see
at least it should be interesting how much they hold vs XL
hopefully is not total wrekt
i want to see how Striker vs SBB goes
and if they bring Pine
and who will fall victim to Jjonak
pearl stratus
Oh this week I'm sure is going to be a wreck.
You can't redo a whole team in a week, and with their smaller roster Boston wasn't able to internal scrim.
So I'm betting Mistakes is rusty as shit.
nova pelican
pearl stratus
I want more Fissure drama on boosters.
I want him to Primal Rage one in real life.
vagrant niche
unga
nova pelican
gonna have to wait until the Dallas fuel v gladiator match to watch him beat oge with a chair
pearl stratus
I mean we might not even have to wait till then.
Fissure was fire on twitter.
Winston cage match.
Two mains enter, one main leaves.
nova pelican
my money is on oge he's a big nigga
rapid bobcat
yes
pearl stratus
I dunno. Fissure could be a lowkey Mickie.
Like Mickie is jacked, he just smiles a lot and doesn't look it.
hazy arrow
Once we have more teams in the league, we can separate them into two divisions and thus they could play twice with everbody every stage
I mean, i hope its like this

Once is enough
But right now everybody is not playing with everybody even once
Each team fights 1 less
Which sucks
lilac atlas
Once they add 2 to 4 teams, they are going to somehow expand stage length or owl matches everyday
limber pine
not necessarily
if they only add, like 2-4 teams, i could still see a 40 match-per-team season
lilac atlas
But matches would be played possibly on tuesdays or sundays
limber pine
according to who?
lilac atlas
Double!?!?
hidden vault
I imagine matches playing everyday lmao
lilac atlas
Buying into a team now costs nearly 35 million
hazy arrow
Didnt Blizz said something about them wanting 20 teams?
Either that they want 20 or that OWL can have up to 20
I cant recall
But definitely the current size cant and wont last forever, fortunately
hidden vault
Hope they won't do that, the number of matches play currently are already insane
Owl to last the whole year OMG
lilac atlas
20 is pushing it, thats alot of play time
hazy arrow
I mean, if we have more teams, we can see the same or slightly bigger amount of matches and yet the teams could play once a week noly
only
everybody wins
lilac atlas
True
hidden vault
Yeah teams should play once a week I agree
I dont mind longer stages but less of them
ruby pendant
Would defintely like more teams
hazy arrow
Anyway, kind of different question
Would you be okay if all teams played twice a week but they would play for example Tuesday-Friday so they have some room between matches?
lilac atlas
2 matches per week is good for me
ruby pendant
Depends on the players
hidden vault
I match per team per week is good I believe
lilac atlas
If there are so many teams, it gets stale when you wait for the next match
ruby pendant
If they stay in the country sure, but if they travel out of America back and forth it can be more taxing.
pearl stratus
I could see the schedule literally not changing.
At all.
Because these guys are already stretched thin enough.
lilac atlas
Humm.. missing more team faceoffs is really bad for the league. They are definitely try to avoid as much of this as possible
pearl stratus
No its not.
ruby pendant
??
pearl stratus
LIterally look at every sport on the planet.
Sometimes you only play another team once per season.
Sometimes you play them 2-3 times.
People just stupidly think stages are seasons.
Which is a product of their being so few teams atm.
lilac atlas
Between each stage, the schedule changes very little
pearl stratus
Yeah, you add 8 more teams the timing will stay the exact same.
You just have 8 more teams.
So there's going to be times where a team only plays another team once every 2-3 stages.
ruby pendant
lol, you okay?
lilac atlas
Oof
ruby pendant
@balmy wolf cool!
hazy arrow
How is it in NHL? Does everybody play with every other team?
Or generally, how is it in any popular sport in the USA where they have divisions in the league?
limber pine
most teams play some teams more than others
that's why the divisions are there
in NFL, they play everybody in their division twice, two of the remaining 7 divisions once (4 teams per), and two random teams
in MLB, they just play their division and conference a lot more than others
Hockey is similar to MLB I think
same with NBA
so, for example, if OWL sticks with the Atlantic and Pacific Divisions, it's likely that as they add teams, the schedule may lean more toward them playing more games within their division
particularly if there's going to be actual home/away games in Season 2

I feel like most of Dallas look at Custa like that.
"We swapped an angry frenchman with our Aussie shotcaller. And all he does is win."
torpid charm
deft valley
dallas jail at least is better than actual jail
lilac atlas
For real, just use rascal and effect for main dps duo, akm as hitscan specialist, and oge & mickie tank combo
silk linden
Dallas are this close to being decent
if they don't lose their shit they're actually on the right course
basically they need to keep doing what they're doing and hope for no more nonsense to occur
inb4 "Eff3ct arrested for human trafficking"
pearl stratus
They still need a Widow, because Effect isn't the right swap for it.
I know he can do well when Fleta isn't happening.
But last night was painful.
silk linden
good widow performance is more about the whole team than people think
a good team enables a widow
pearl stratus
I mean thats true, but its not like Effect didn't have space on that map.
That point was going back and forth.
Fleta just destroyed him and Unkoe every time they moved.
The balcony kills
silk linden
they should ask 
how a Fleta is shut down
pearl stratus
"Have a better Widow v Widow player."
silk linden
or hope for one of the classic Dynasty brain farts where they leave players out for no fucking reason
nova pelican
rascal is a p good widow
pearl stratus
If Munchkin ever steps up and gets to be like.. integral/better.
Fleta will really be a monster.
But Munchkin is so inconsistent and kind of mediocre.
nova pelican
he got that triple kill on route 66
pearl stratus
That the game becomes "Find Fleta" to shut down offense.
limber pine
which almost worked
nova pelican
munchkin missed a lot of pulses last night
pearl stratus
It has worked before, numerous times.
I don't think Munchkin is the tracer they need tbh.
He looked good in Stage 1.
But he hasn't shown any real improvement since then.
scarlet spear
bring esca LUL back
pearl stratus
Whereas almost all other tracers have.
nova pelican
they might actually be regretting trading bunny then
pearl stratus
Honestly, Linkzr is in the mid tier of OWL tracers somehow.

pearl stratus
Bunny went to LAV.

inb4 Roshan goes to Glads and becomes a top tier
I guess both LA teams brought in players that did very well for them

I hate DreamKazper
nova pelican
gladiators is looking well rounded
young cove
Lmao. We need to roast him
young cove
Fair enough
silk linden
I'm not one for public shaming. He's already been punished by the league and his org, and is facing criminal charges
young cove
Wonder how Boston's gonna perform without their former star dps
fallow plaza
is it possible to see the vod of the twitch all access stream ?
nova pelican
no
fallow plaza
thats dumb 
nova pelican
you gotta buy it to see it
young cove
I wish there was more Shadowburn gameplay
nova pelican
maybe it's only possible to see live
fallow plaza
thats kinda sad tbh
pearl stratus
Benchburn won't be off the bench for a while.
He needs to grind out a third/fourth hero to get into that LAG type rotation.
Genji / Pharah aren't great on this current rotation. Genji's is mostly fine, but Pharah is very very hit or miss. And his last showing against Teengrazper didn't go well
vagrant niche
contenders teams feel like ranked
from what i have seen
they play like ranked competitive
rather than OWL team
they still do better decisions with picks than ranked tho
like team composition

i havent watched too much contenders, but some teams seemed really good

they went 4-1 in their season, gotta wait for playoffs now

barely watched any contenders tho
EM seems to be wrecking korean contenders tho, they only lost 2 maps in their matches

not sure about that
i don't watch korean
i only heard something about some flower guy

flow3r is in NA now
hes on the NYXL academy team

Jakes also the smartest of the group.
Since they monetized his memes.

Badly.

Where and when did reinforce said that?

Blizzard might have fined Reinforce, but he's their employee so they could have handled it all internally. No clue.
A few days ago, it slipped out when he got excited about talking about something

Adrian: surely shouldnt have been fined that much
even Felix didnt pay that much
even tho the second case was a joke
at least they donate all money to charities
vestal mortar
IIRC Fusion management has complained that they don't think that Blizz punishments have been harsh enough for certain cases so they take a extra tough stance towards their own players.
vagrant niche
in my opinion, Bliz is being too sensitive to these stuff. I think the only main issue is DK
i highly frown upon other stuff like Undead
to me, most of them, do the harm to themselves by giving themselves a bad image for saying or doing stuff they shouldn't
but Bliz is just being too sensitive. that's just my take
I guess that's what comes with e sports with sponsors etc
I'm used to thuggery and smack talk from FGC
is not that bad
vestal mortar
Or maybe it is all the investors and sponsors, exactly.
vagrant niche
yes, that's what i think probably
who knows, either way is not my decision
so is whatever
i think that might be one of the issues Dafran didn't wanted in
cause he's informal, and want to have fun
yeah, he might do stupid stuff here and there. so he just want to have control over
whole root
Very likely that Dafran will throw a game out of frustration
Or something similar , if he joined the league
vagrant niche
ye lol, not that i agree with that
but i could see that happening
I still like Dafran tho
whole root
Most likely not since that will be a breach of contract and he might be fined a shit ton but still likely
vagrant niche
he has many virtues over his flaws
hazy arrow
Pepe the Frog case was a joke
pearl stratus
It's a children versus adults argument.
Children tend to think everything should be fun, do whatever they want, etc.
Adults tend to know how the world works, and understand that there's stupid restrictions.
hazy arrow
Blizz made themselves look silly and foolish
vagrant niche
@hazy arrow ye i agree, that's just over sensitive there
pearl stratus
No one cares about a dead frog meme, people seriously need to just eat tide pods if they think that actually matters.
The symbol got adopted by stupid groups, and it died.
hazy arrow
Anyway, they are just a "mirror" to the current (too sensitive) people we have
pearl stratus
It's the same concept [hyperbole] incoming of the swastika. For multiple religious and cultural groups its a symbol of peace and some minor modification.
No one will ever look at it that way first anymore though
hazy arrow
If majority of people thought what xQc, EQQ and others were hilarious, Blizz would nominate them for Dennis Hawelka Award

@hazy arrow at least i'm glad they let the caster be raw sometimes and get away with stuff, otherwise it would be kind of stale

I think they're pretty much done.

Anyway I hope we beat LAG in Stage 4 and OGE completely destroys Fissure

It's a cultural thing. A bunch of people not from Korea don't get why Koreans are so mad, and OGE is defending himself because he's basically no longer a person in Korea.
