Absolute perfection would be if OGE learns Mickie's "GET REKT DUDE"

and then says it to FIssure

[pearl stratus]

I almost gaurantee you that OGE got signed for the absolutely complete league minimum.

[scarlet spear]

yeah i can imagine that

probably gets paid 50k

[pearl stratus]

He's not a person.

[hazy arrow]

and in the post-match interview as well

[pearl stratus]

He has no negotiation platform.

It's literally "Accept the lowest minimum pay, or go back to Korea and work in a warehouse because you can never play pro."

[hazy arrow]

Maybe. If he stays out of trouble and performs like yesterday, sooner or later he will get a rise

[whole root]

Korean really values their work ethic, Recry despite not in a team, still works in a factory and stream at night, cultural views on jobs I supposed

[pearl stratus]

He won't though.

He's literally never allowed to play pro in Korea. Ever.

[vagrant niche]

do we know who are the big payroll rosters for the Fuel? Seagull, Effect, who else?

[pearl stratus]

OWL is his only chance.

[vagrant niche]

i'm assuming that is

[whole root]

Rascal maybe

[pearl stratus]

Getting caught boosting in Korea means you're banned from all competitions and events.

[hazy arrow]

If Blizz builds an arena in Korea and they play a season there... oh boy

Things will get ugly

[pearl stratus]

OGE and Sado will get death threats.

More than they already do.

Fissure is basically a national hero for yelling at OGE and Kyky right now.

[vagrant niche]

death threads are pretty dumb IMO tho

[pearl stratus]

They happen, its the internet.

Why do you think xQc had to beg his fan base like...

Three times?

Not to send them.

[vagrant niche]

because they are immature

probably

maybe there are a lot of immature audience members

[pearl stratus]

There are

[vagrant niche]

now that i think about it, i wouldn't be surprised if there is a lot. There's a lot of toxic people on matches i have come across

[pearl stratus]

You should have seen a post from a few days back of some idiot whining because they made a pepe poster for going to the stadium.

[vagrant niche]

i could see many of them doing something as stupid as a death thread

[pearl stratus]

And it got taken away.

And they were confused.

[hazy arrow]

I like this comment from r/COW regarding OGE-Fissure:

[vagrant niche]

what does it say?

[hazy arrow]

I don’t have a stake in this conversation, but I think that’s really unfair on Fissure’s part. Everyone’s financial situation is different. Fissure said he thinks OGE’s situation wasn’t as bad as Recry and Architect’s, but

1. It’s unlikely he really knows everything. Perhaps all the details about OGE’s finances aren’t public? Maybe someone in his family was sick? Maybe there was a temporary cash shortage? There could be tons of things that Fissure doesn’t know
2. Perhaps OGE tried to find a job but couldn’t get one? There was 10% youth unemployment in Korea in 2016. It’s not crazy if OGE was one of the 10%.
   OGE boosted a few times for a small amount of money. He’s acknowledged his wrongdoing and apologized. He got suspended for it. Not sure if OGE should have to adopt an attitude of eternal shame for it.

[pearl stratus]

And a girl might be hard up for money and turn to prostitution.

Doesn't mean her next boyfriend is wrong for dumping her when he finds out.

You want to fuck up your own life, for your reasons, that's on you.

But you don't get to dictate how everyone else treats you for it.

[hazy arrow]

Pretty much same principle can be said about Fissure....

[pearl stratus]

For what, voicing the opinion of the majority of people?

[vagrant niche]

I think Fissure could be a little more forgiving if someone wan'ts redemption but I could understand his bias

wants*

[pearl stratus]

The biggest issue is non-Korean people have their head up their ass about how big the boosting issue in Korea is.

Because its not huge in the other parts of the world.

So you get someone like Recry who is working two jobs and doing his best to stream and remain relevant so he can get picked up by a team.

And he's stuck in games constantly with boosters, etc. An over inflated ladder, and any problem you can think about on our servers magnified by a thousand.

Basically if you think boosters can be forgiven you're telling everyone who wants to be legit to fuck off, and die.

[vagrant niche]

i don't think stuff is so black and white, but i know little about the issue to speak strong on behalf of neither party

[pearl stratus]

Just do a little research, its pretty obvious.

You have to remember Korea is attempting to pass a law to making boosting punishable by up to 2 years in jail.

It's a serious issue people are trying to say isn't bad.

[hazy arrow]

Well, if you have to choose between letting your family "suffer" and boosting, well, pretty easy if you ask me

[pearl stratus]

And that's fair Johnny.

But you fuck your future, that's the choice you make.

[hazy arrow]

And it seems this was OGEs situation it seems

[pearl stratus]

It's like stealing to feed your family.

You fed them, but you still go to jail.

YOu don't get to lose being an ex-con because you did it for the "right" reasons.

That's not how the world works.

[hazy arrow]

Blizzards disagrees:))

[vagrant niche]

that's right, that's why OGE got punished no?

[pearl stratus]

Which is funny, since you say Blizzard is wrong in everything but this.

He got punished very lightly. If he didn't have an OWL team pick him up, he'd be nothing.

Blizzard is very wrong on this stance, and its going to bite them in the ass.

Imagine, and this could happen, Blizzard goes to host an OWL event in Korea.

And they tell them fine, but OGE and Sado can't play.

Because they're banned from competitive play in Korea.

[hazy arrow]

I guess this is another thing for attorney and lawyers but my simple guess is that it's private company's business so they should be able to do it

[pearl stratus]

I mean they could push it, and then they could also just start denying all the travel visas for players.

It'll be funny either way.

My bet is that no booster post the start of OWL will ever make it into the league, its just too risky.

[hazy arrow]

I got sick and had to be put in a drug-induced coma after the game and the only thing that kept me going since they woke me up this morning is how hyped I am to see how Dreamkazper and the gang does against NYXL today!

[vagrant niche]

lol

i saw that meme

[hazy arrow]

🤣

[vagrant niche]

Pine doesn't seem to enjoy Blizzard world much

i could understand, it was a bit frustrating watch the shock struggle so much trying to finish capturing the 2nd point yesterday after all their ultimate investments

[hazy arrow]

BW is a bit weird in my opinion

Like sure, make it as a map for Arcade which is the most "chill" mode in the game and show players what everything you have created

But if you want that map in OWL, then please do some adjustments

[jagged crater]

cant wait for the juicy LAG vs Fuel day

fissure vs oge gonna be sweet, perhaps lots of teabagging

no handshake at the end

potential things to come

[scarlet spear]

fighting after denied handshake

[jagged crater]

Has it been confirmed DK did those things?

or still investigating

[vital saddle]

dont think so

still investigating last time i heard

[jagged crater]

he was terminated cuz just really really bad PR

but if he somehow turns out to be innocent, iunno

[vital saddle]

DK?

[jagged crater]

that's gonna be odd

[vital saddle]

yup

[idle beacon]

i've been logged in to twitch AND bnet acc .. and still, haven't received tokens from any game yesterday. where can i complain about it?

[silk linden]

here apparently

since everyone else does

[jagged crater]

type !tokens

[silk linden]

lmao

[vital saddle]

go ahead and complain my man

[torpid charm]

hype for and to play each other next stage so I can witness Fissure and Sado not shake hands

[hazy arrow]

Did Fissure became one with the Force and shook hands with Sado? Find out in the next episode of Blizzard's award-winning show DramaWatch

[torpid charm]

nah but I am just really fucking hype for Sado to play

[hazy arrow]

Netflix will host that TV series

[silk linden]

you know, Kyky made "imposing Korean culture" into a meme, but I'm really against Fissure on this. No one fucking cares man

[hazy arrow]

Michael Bay will work on the film adaptation with George Lucas

[torpid charm]

he did?

pls show me

Kyky is wild ashell

[silk linden]

in an interview he said Rascal was trying to "impose Korean culture"

[torpid charm]

[scarlet spear]

yeh, that was like a month ago

because rascal said they should put in more effort and train more apparently

[torpid charm]

[vagrant niche]

i think i remember something like that with Effect

he was not happy enough with the attitude of the team in general

[torpid charm]

#SaveEffectFromDallas

[strong crescent]

can we talk about how destroyed shock got yesterday

also what was the score on dallas v seoul

[vagrant niche]

3-2

Seoul won

Shock had this problem, they spent too much time dealing with Bunny

and that caused problems on their game

and when they were not trying to keep Bunny in check, he just bullied Sleepy

and the rest of the team

[vital saddle]

so how crushed is boston gonna get

[vagrant niche]

um, we'll see

to be fair i don't know

is just XL

[vital saddle]

isnt XL best team in the leauge?

also DK is gone

[vagrant niche]

Libero can have some weird moments here and there sometimes

but losing DK isn't helping them

and yes XL is the best with a huge leading gap

[vital saddle]

mhm

btw how is pine doing

[vagrant niche]

anybody remember when London got so full of themselves on stage 1 and said they were envisioning of putting a huge skill gap between them and the rest of the team that would be unreachable?

or something along those lines

[slim summit]

London still has the highest skill ceiling

unfortunately they never reach it

[vital saddle]

yes but pine

how is he

[slim summit]

Birdring broke him

[vital saddle]

oh

i heard "pine is the next seagull"

[vagrant niche]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-gnQaWRdlQ&t=0s

[slim summit]

on Ilios

[vagrant niche]

here you go

[slim summit]

yeahhhh Pine isn't really even better than Libero

and next season when Fl0w3r is in

Libero won't even be better than him

I wouldn't be surprised if Pine was traded

[vital saddle]

who boston gonna replace for DK when they can trade

Pine?

[vagrant niche]

Mistakes

[slim summit]

it would be a good fit

[vagrant niche]

is filling for him

[vital saddle]

no when they can trade

[slim summit]

but they won't be able to trade until season 2

[vital saddle]

not rn

[vagrant niche]

oh ok

[vital saddle]

yes ik lol

[vagrant niche]

i have no idea

[slim summit]

so like

we don't really know how much movement is going to happen

[vital saddle]

im hearing a lot of pine going to boston

[slim summit]

there will be new teams, new circumstances, and probably a ton of trading

[vagrant niche]

yes i don't know

is that Slasher guy leaking stuff?

i think is too soon to be speculating

we still have a lot of time to go

boston has some contender team too

[vital saddle]

yup

[vagrant niche]

they might pick a few of those guys

[idle beacon]

what's the first game in 14 mins?

[balmy wolf]

Boston Uprising vs New York Excelsior

Today I'm rooting for

but I think are going to win

[vital saddle]

XL 100% they gonna beat boston with no DK london is a obvious choice and fusion can top outlaws too tbh

[balmy wolf]

AMA today is with Fragi

[vital saddle]

6 misn before the game

hypee

[balmy wolf]

@vital saddle fusion vs outlaws is a tough call but I think London is going to 3-1 Florida

[vital saddle]

yup

agree

possibly 4-0

[vagrant niche]

it's starting bois!!

[vital saddle]

ooooo

today in the overwatch discord we have our own group chat

[slim summit]

I straight up believe Mayhem could beat Spitfire

they played so well against NYXL toward the end of stage 2

[vital saddle]

so we will scream in here

everyone ready?

[slim summit]

if they were to bring their A game, and London were to do the typical London thing where they just play like shit for no goddamn reason

they could win

[idle beacon]

who is phili playin against?

[vital saddle]

outlaws

[torpid charm]

[idle beacon]

eqo allowed again, right?

[torpid charm]

no

he'll be able to play on Saturday

[vital saddle]

one min till it starts

everyone ready

[balmy wolf]

[torpid charm]

[hollow current]

Feels bad that we lost such a talent

[balmy wolf]

ikr

[rustic perch]

i feel bad for boston that nobody actually really cheers for them

[raw zealot]

Idk why OWL players can't keep themselves out of trouble

They live the dream, right?

[hollow current]

hope boston can pickup someone as good

i mean

most people are antisocial

play games for 12+ hours a day

young

awkward

etc

immature

[raw zealot]

I mean that's fair but still

[hollow current]

yeah some ur juts stupid

how bad they fuck up

[balmy wolf]

^

[vital saddle]

boston lookin pretty calm rn

[pallid cargo]

they have no experience in a professional environment

[raw zealot]

Like for real

[hollow current]

and i don't think being in owl is exactly "the dream"

since u work 80-100hr weeks

[nova pelican]

esketit mistakes

[raw zealot]

I don't have "professional experience" but I'd know to keep my pants on :/

[vagrant fossil]

[balmy wolf]

is this the first time they have mistakes?

[vital saddle]

i know no one from NYXL but pine tbh

[balmy wolf]

i dont think i have seen him play

[nova pelican]

no hes been played b4

[vital saddle]

[nova pelican]

they usually lose the maps he plays so

[hollow current]

na

[pallid cargo]

I mean, dreamkazper did something really fucking stupid, I'm not defending him

[balmy wolf]

rip

[hollow current]

same with london and seoul

[balmy wolf]

i hope they show more jjonak

[raw zealot]

Does anyone have a good breakdown on my the dragons are so... poor?

[vital saddle]

AY WAIT WHERE PINE?

[pallid cargo]

dreamkazper's stupidity is magnitudes worse than what anyone else in the league has done so far

[hollow current]

monte and doa POGGERS

[raw zealot]

Anyone here ever read Ender's Game by chance?

[balmy wolf]

i have

a long time ago

[vagrant fossil]

SEMMLER WHEN 😡

[vital saddle]

i saw the movie

[nova pelican]

so glad the league gave him another chance my boy dk gonna play his ass off today

[raw zealot]

"Dragons" are always cursed 🤔

[pallid cargo]

semmler never hopefully

[toxic gate]

why are people spamming married man

[hollow current]

because saebyeolbe

is married

[toxic gate]

oooooh

[raw zealot]

whoa

[hollow current]

and is very open about it

[night notch]

@raw zealot i mean for the dragons, the fact that half of them speak korean and half of them speak chinese can't be helpful. makes coordinating really difficult

[vagrant fossil]

married man meta >>>>

[balmy wolf]

and he has a pic of his wife

that he sets out before game

[raw zealot]

@night notch That's a fair point

But aren't there teams with worse barriers doing better?

[toxic gate]

ooh

[hollow current]

i love how half of twitch chat is "monte and doa PogChamp" and half is "No semmler PogChamp"

[toxic gate]

thank you

[raw zealot]

Like they just get flat stomped every game.

[forest wharf]

Its from his stream where he trolled kephrii

[night notch]

as far as i know, other teams have been better finding billingual players/coach assistants to help bridge the gaps

[vagrant niche]

why people dislike Semmler? lmao it's a meme at this point

[hollow current]

apparently kephrii is/was using hacks

[vagrant niche]

best caster is Uber tho

[hollow current]

someone wrote a story in r/overwatchtmz

[vagrant niche]

and ZP

[nova pelican]

semmler is better than montes lame ass

[hollow current]

had no proof tho so

[night notch]

also, dragons had a big scandal at the start of the season with a now fired coach who was making them practice for inhuman amounts of time which probably isn't great for morale

[balmy wolf]

u4?

[limber pine]

i missed the beginning, what did they say about DK

[nova pelican]

that he was innocent

jk

[hollow current]

puckett said "TriHard 14"

Kappa

i was told that they just said that he got released

[vagrant fossil]

yeah they just said hes gone

[nova pelican]

they said he was a shotcaller so he left a void mistakes gotta fill

[forest wharf]

Damn looks like logix isnt playing today. Rip

[balmy wolf]

aw

[vagrant fossil]

take a shot every time twitch chat says 14

[rare sonnet]

[hollow current]

how long until dk says anything about the situation

[fluid dagger]

Boston got this

[hollow current]

or is he gonna leave the internet forever

[vital saddle]

boston takes the first point

[rare sonnet]

the 14s in chat make me lol

[night notch]

why would anyone subject themselves to twitch chat? that's like volunteering for brain cancer

[rare sonnet]

@hollow current does he get internet in jail

[hollow current]

dunno

[fluid dagger]

gogogogogogo!

[hollow current]

there was no proof of nudes so far so

idk if he will get jail time

[vital saddle]

hmmm

riptire

[hollow current]

J LUL KE

[vital saddle]

boston takes the first map

[fluid dagger]

NY is going down

[vagrant fossil]

GODDAMN

[vagrant niche]

EZ

[feral oyster]

WOW

[humble moth]

boston is on it this stage

[hollow current]

what if it turns out that mistakes is way better than DK

[fading wasp]

NYXL just got stomped

[balmy wolf]

huh

[toxic gate]

[humble moth]

they 4-0 the outlaws

[vital saddle]

doubt it

[pearl stratus]

It looks like NYXL is making some...

[ruby pendant]

wow

[pearl stratus]

Mistakes.

[vital saddle]

I really dont think mistakes is better than DK

[pearl stratus]

😎

[hollow current]

i dont either

[vagrant fossil]

booooo

[hollow current]

but wouldnt it be funny

[rare sonnet]

@vital saddle this is why he had no playtime

[frozen moat]

Did they talk about the DK situation at all before the game?

[pearl stratus]

No.

[rare sonnet]

they said that he is gone

[pearl stratus]

We won't hear about it ever again, btw.

[rare sonnet]

thats it

[vagrant fossil]

they just said theres a void to fill and hes been released etc etc

[fluid dagger]

no way they're gonna touch that with a 10ft pole

[pearl stratus]

It's already closed out.

[fluid dagger]

especialyl if there's legal stuff involved

[vital saddle]

lol yeah true toxic

[fluid dagger]

no way they'll talk about it

[vagrant fossil]

theyre not gonna mention that at all

[ruby pendant]

lol

[forest wharf]

Or a 14ft pole?

[hollow current]

yeah they're not gonna say why he got released

just gonna say that he got released

[pearl stratus]

Kraft org handled it in Kraft org fashion.

[ruby pendant]

Overwatch League cover up!

[pearl stratus]

Suspended -> Released -> Refunds on all Jerseys.

[vital saddle]

lmao

[pearl stratus]

They handled Aaron Hernandez literally 1:1 the same exact way.

[hollow current]

im guessing they removed the DK jerseys from the store

[pearl stratus]

Removed and refunded anyone who wanted it.

[rare sonnet]

who is aaron hernandes

[night notch]

i mean it makes sense, it's not like you hear NFL commentators saying "and there's a pass to the receiever who was charged with beating his wife last week"

[pearl stratus]

Patriot Player who got accused of murder.

[night notch]

they're just here to talk about the game

[pearl stratus]

Later hung himself in his cell.

[hollow current]

i wonder if the DK jersey will ever be worth anything

[vital saddle]

o mistakes

[pearl stratus]

Stuff only gets talked about for as long as its a cxontroversial thing.

[balmy wolf]

iirc they're letting you return it

[vital saddle]

got liberioo

[hollow current]

📞 4Head HELLO LAPD? 📞 4Head BOSTON HERE 📞 4Head THANKS FOR TAKING DREAMKAZPER 📞 4Head

XD

[ruby pendant]

@night notch yea they do

[humble moth]

who would return it?

[pearl stratus]

They got rid of him so quickly the conversation didn't last.

[humble moth]

thats so gay

[ruby pendant]

Maybe not all the time

[frozen moat]

...

[hollow current]

people who think DK is disgusting and dont want his jersey

?

they offered a free replacement for a dk jersey

which is nice

[pearl stratus]

I mean its win win.

They don't have the jerseys out there.

And people are happy.

[hollow current]

yeah

[humble moth]

I want one though

[hollow current]

i'd keep mine for the memes

[humble moth]

and you cant buy one

[ruby pendant]

finally

[fluid dagger]

Boston gonna run the table on NY? they're looking great

[balmy wolf]

y

[ruby pendant]

@fluid dagger lol

[pallid cargo]

why would you want a DK jersey

[vital saddle]

mistakes got rekt

[hollow current]

for the memes

[twin dove]

i'd keep the jersey, crazy people memorabilia seems to be a hot market among the looney community. 😏

[hollow current]

same reason i'd want an xQc jersey

[frozen moat]

Well you're clearly 14, so call up DK and I'm sure you can come to an arrangement

[vital saddle]

before the dj sutyatuib'

wow i can spell

[fluid dagger]

Neko op

[hollow current]

memes+its rare

[pallid cargo]

xqc was arguably not a huge scumbag though

[hollow current]

true

but

[pallid cargo]

dk could go to prison

[hollow current]

a meme nonetheless

[pallid cargo]

for a valid reason

[pearl stratus]

He could but won't.

[ruby pendant]

Could just pay a settlement

[vital saddle]

boston almost holds up nyxl but mate nyxl comes thru

[pallid cargo]

and be on a sex offender registry

[fluid dagger]

I mean, Boston is still ahead

[pallid cargo]

they don't fuck around with sexual misconduct w/ minors

on the topic of the game, boston is doing really nicely

I'm glad

[hollow current]

yup

mistakes is doing good

[pearl stratus]

Striker is stepping up.

[ruby pendant]

Excelsior gonna win

[pearl stratus]

Mistakes is kind of Mehstakes right now.

[fluid dagger]

boston is winning this map, i can feel it in my loins

[pearl stratus]

But that's expected.

[ruby pendant]

you getting your hopes up

[pearl stratus]

It's his first game and against NYXL.

[pallid cargo]

excel is probably going to win

[frozen moat]

Yeah, I think most were expecting them to be a lot more shaky

[pallid cargo]

but boston isn't getting rolled so far at least

[pearl stratus]

I mean the game right now is 90% Tank and Supports.

And they didn't lose one of those

[pallid cargo]

other teams have had worse games against NYXL when their star players weren't immediately released

[hollow current]

tru

[ruby pendant]

its coming!

wow

[pallid cargo]

dang

nice

[fluid dagger]

striker is just.... too good

[pearl stratus]

I'm glad they're happier on a western team.

[ruby pendant]

Who?

[pearl stratus]

Gamsu/Neko/Striker.

[vital saddle]

one min remaining for NYXL to take point b

[pearl stratus]

They talked about it in their interview.

[ruby pendant]

k

Didn't see it

[pearl stratus]

Less overall pressure being on a western team.

[pallid cargo]

no ticks too

[slim summit]

if boston wins i am going to die

[ruby pendant]

@pearl stratus haha, sounds like an insult

[fluid dagger]

looks like NY might be forced in to OT tho, if they do they can only draw at best

[pearl stratus]

I mean, it is and it isn't.

Look at Effect/Rascals complaint about Dallas.

[vital saddle]

mistakes omg

[hollow current]

they did it

[fluid dagger]

oh shit Boston is doing it

[hollow current]

wow

[hidden osprey]

wow

[pallid cargo]

WHITE IN THE KILLFEED

[forest wharf]

Wat is even happening

[fluid dagger]

THEY'RE DOING IT

[rare sonnet]

why 'less pressure'?

[slim summit]

wtf

[vagrant niche]

WOW upset!!!

[vital saddle]

DID BOSTON DO THAT

WOw

[vagrant niche]

Mistakes puting weight in

[balmy wolf]

damn what an upset

[fluid dagger]

Boston is OP

[pearl stratus]

Cultural differences, Western teams are more relaxed and provide more mental downtime.

[hidden osprey]

things I did not expect today...

[rare sonnet]

Mistakes > TeenGrazper

[limber pine]

dis gonna be good

[vagrant niche]

Yeee son!!

[vital saddle]

but thats only 1 map my dudes

[brisk roost]

Mistakes carry

[fluid dagger]

THEY WILL 4-0 NY!

[pearl stratus]

It's also Bostons best map.

[fluid dagger]

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST

😛

[pearl stratus]

They've literally never lost on Volskaya.

[vagrant niche]

notice Jjonak didn't do much

[rare sonnet]

are you saying teenGrazper is better than mistakes @vital saddle

[vital saddle]

lets not just

[vagrant niche]

maybe that's why

[limber pine]

It's really bostons tank line that's carrying them

[vital saddle]

fam i said

[vagrant niche]

we'll see bois, Free PINE

[rare sonnet]

lol

[vital saddle]

it has only been 1 map mate lol

[fluid dagger]

gamsu and striker are just such a good combo

[ruby pendant]

Uprisng fans getting hype, you still losing this match up

[pearl stratus]

Why would they free Pine?

Do you want them to lose?

Stop asking NYXL to lose.

[vital saddle]

im confucion

[vagrant niche]

what is your problem if I want to see Pine?

[rare sonnet]

#freepine

[ruby pendant]

@pearl stratus What are you trying to say???

[pearl stratus]

That Pine is by far their worst player?

[rare sonnet]

lol wot

[vagrant niche]

you dug your own grave

[brisk roost]

1v1 him and say that again lol

[fluid dagger]

Pine is a very strong player individually but he's weak on teamwork

[rare sonnet]

i don't thonk so

[pearl stratus]

He's insanely better than me.

[limber pine]

Overwath is not a 1v1 game

[pearl stratus]

But between SBB, Libero and Pine?

He's the worst.

[fading wasp]

What tf just happened

[pearl stratus]

Smallest pool, etc.

[rare sonnet]

'their worst player'

[brisk roost]

@limber pine Unless it's a custom 1v1 game

[vagrant niche]

this boi got upset cause I want to see Pine, and now he's saying Pine is the XL garbo

[queen drift]

I think Janus is worse than Pine

[rare sonnet]

'between these three' 🤔

[pearl stratus]

I mean, Jjonak is higher damage than everyone 😛

[limber pine]

k

[vagrant niche]

TOP KEK

[idle beacon]

1-0 boston?

[balmy wolf]

whats the score now?

[pearl stratus]

He's their worst support too! he played that in the pre-season when Jjonak wasn't 18

[vagrant niche]

yes

[vital saddle]

mhm

[queen drift]

But he doesn’t play support

[vagrant niche]

1-0 to boston

[balmy wolf]

o damn

[pearl stratus]

I know.

[fluid dagger]

boston took Volskaya pretty handily

[rare sonnet]

Pine> Anamo

[pearl stratus]

But I got crap for only comparing him to DPS.

[balmy wolf]

boston giving nyxl a run for there money huh

[rare sonnet]

Pine not worst

[fluid dagger]

even if it is Boston's best map, they didn't just win they crushed it

[queen drift]

It’s because you said he’s their worst player

Not worst dps

[pearl stratus]

Well I'm going to naturally assume he's worse tank than Mano and Meko.

[rare sonnet]

poor janus

[vagrant niche]

YOOOO

MISTAKES WERE MADE

[drowsy fulcrum]

teynnis

[pearl stratus]

Was previously a Tennis pro.

Wat.

How do you go from Tennis to OW.

[deft valley]

Tanks

[humble moth]

probably ameteur

[deft valley]

as in WoT

[queen drift]

Mistakes is Russian

Nani

[vagrant niche]

wasn't Effect musician?

[brisk roost]

Mistakes vs Novak Djokovic or Andy Murray poggers

[drowsy fulcrum]

hello mistakes

[vagrant niche]

that's cool

[deft valley]

i'm fairly certain at least

[balmy wolf]

effect was studing music in college i think

[queen drift]

^

[pearl stratus]

I wonder if Mistakes hair ever yells "KOBE"

Because its got a crazy fadeaway going on with the hairline.

[twin dove]

lul

[pallid cargo]

I'm so happy, because now VAL is #1 in stage standings for tonight

no matter how the rest of this series plays out

[ruby pendant]

lol

[queen drift]

I don’t think it will last

[brisk roost]

I really wanna see Val vs NYXL if it keeps up

I like Valiant yo

[pallid cargo]

Val doesn't play NYXL this stage

[fluid dagger]

Boston undefeated all stage, lets go

[brisk roost]

And they're doing great

[balmy wolf]

aw

[humble moth]

i mean, this is the best team

[balmy wolf]

val vs nyxl would have been interesting to see

[brisk roost]

@pallid cargo I know that's why I want both teams to be on Stage 3 playoffs

[pallid cargo]

VAL could potentially go for 2 more matches before dropping a map

[ruby pendant]

Torb?

[pallid cargo]

they play spits next week

[queen drift]

Dynasty has been horrible recently

[vagrant niche]

yo lets hope that wasn't a fluke and we get some good tight match

[brisk roost]

They almost lost to Dallas lol

[queen drift]

Exactly

Twice in a row

[pearl stratus]

They almost lose to Dallas in every stage.

That's like saying London is horrible because they've never beat Houston in the stages.

They're just that weird rivalry.

[vagrant niche]

Pharmecy

[pallid cargo]

seoul is just super overrated since the season start

[queen drift]

Dallas Seoul makes sense tho

Lhai vs nV

[fluid dagger]

lol

[pearl stratus]

Their first game of the OWL was still the most insane Anubis ever lol

[brisk roost]

NOTE LOL

[pearl stratus]

They went to what.

14 total map points?

It was insane.

[ruby pendant]

This is how it should be!

[queen drift]

I think it was 7-6

[paper crag]

so did OWL address the DK drama?

[pearl stratus]

Still probably the best Anubis we've seen.

Yes, they said he was released.

[hollow current]

feelsbad when seoul and dallas were supposed to be the #1 and #2 teams

[queen drift]

They’ve been avoiding it

[pearl stratus]

That's all they'll ever say.

[vagrant niche]

WOW

[queen drift]

Just saying released

[vagrant niche]

they melted Janus

[pallid cargo]

as they should

[vagrant niche]

with nano

[pallid cargo]

they didn't discuss xqc's drama during playtime either

[fluid dagger]

Libero made... MISTAKES (lel)

[fading wasp]

They acknowledged it on their Twitter, and mentioned he was released on stream @paper crag

[deft valley]

that's going to be the line every time he kills someone isn't it

[pallid cargo]

it's best to just say he was released and not go into why

boston super solid, wow

[pearl stratus]

If its not in the league its not worth them talking about anymore.

[pallid cargo]

^

[queen drift]

Only bad PR for them

[pallid cargo]

best to talk about players ACTUALLY playing for boston tonight

[ruby pendant]

@pearl stratus Cover up!!

[pearl stratus]

Eh Cover Up would have been them not releasing him lol

[pallid cargo]

DANG

[fluid dagger]

😮

[pallid cargo]

super convincing

[fading wasp]

More like “PR guys having a tenth of a brain”

[queen drift]

Boston are looking great

[fluid dagger]

Boston top tier team

[queen drift]

Worst map btw

[pearl stratus]

Alright so I said Mistakes was going to take some time to adjust.

[median saddle]

Boston looks better with mistakes than they did with Kazper

[pearl stratus]

And I might have been wrong.

[median saddle]

damn

[hollow current]

mistakes is actually playing way better than expected

[pallid cargo]

fuck do I want to see LAV - BOS

[pearl stratus]

I'm surprised he hasn't pulled out Sombra.

[queen drift]

I really think people are overhyping VAL rn

[brisk roost]

Val is gonna win against Boston imo

[balmy wolf]

same here

[queen drift]

They had two good games against two average (right Now) teams

[pearl stratus]

Yeah, we'll see in two weeks.

[tight vault]

if boston wins were ending the league

[ruby pendant]

@R8 Promethean#1784 why you think that?

[pearl stratus]

But they do look really really solid.

[queen drift]

They did well in stage 1 or 2 beginning as well

[brisk roost]

@ruby pendant Cause of how they've been doing

[pallid cargo]

Val was super solid in stage 1 and they had internal issues during stage 2 that now looked solved

[pearl stratus]

@ruby pendant They basically haven't played a good team yet, minus Seoul's B team.

[brisk roost]

Or playing I should say

[balmy wolf]

Lol twtich chat is actually dumb

[brisk roost]

Seoul's B team = Shock, Fuel, Mayhem

[balmy wolf]

Like they keep spamming PLAT CHAT when half of them are probably plat or lower themselves

Probably more than half

[queen drift]

Questionable ult from mistakes

[median saddle]

it's twitch chat

[hollow current]

same with gamsu

[brisk roost]

But at least Valiant won't be as inconsistent as they were back in Stage 2 tbh

[hollow current]

wtf

[queen drift]

That we know of

I think they’ll fall off

[hollow current]

they had 4 people on libero

and he survived

[pearl stratus]

I dunno. I think they'll be good. I don't know if they'll stay top 3 though.

[brisk roost]

@queen drift They could but I wouldn't say that

[pearl stratus]

LAV has that sort of LAG DPS rotation ability now.

Which is really really strong.

[ruby pendant]

@hollow current lol

[pearl stratus]

Bunny + Soon was actually pretty horrifying.

[brisk roost]

I bet Seoul wants Bunny back lol

[queen drift]

Nah

[ruby pendant]

May 3 is Uprising vs Valiant

[brisk roost]

Yah

[pearl stratus]

Nah, they explained that the way Bunny plays didn't flush well with them anymore.

[brisk roost]

Lol

[queen drift]

Fleta/Munchkin > fleta / bunny

[pearl stratus]

Bunny is more lone wolf Tracer.

[tidal tartan]

entire team gets wiped OWL chat- "C9 J LUL K E"

[brisk roost]

But must feel good for beating your former team

Like Fissure with London

[ruby pendant]

He didn't go to the playoff though

His former team did

[brisk roost]

Eh

[pearl stratus]

My favorite was that Fissure was like "I didn't even care I beat London, but then everyone got hyped up. So I got hyped up."

[brisk roost]

I wouldn't care

Him getting a payback is good enough

Lol

[ruby pendant]

fair

[queen drift]

Tbh I don’t think anyone can say if they’d care or not

Lots of money lots of adrenaline

[pearl stratus]

Fissure spoke more shit to Dallas about OGE than he did to London about trading.

[queen drift]

Much different in an arena than at your desk

[hollow current]

oof that anti

[pearl stratus]

Well I mean... with few exceptions all the guys (and girl) are friends.

So its all friendly rivalry anyway.

[hollow current]

few exceptions being fissure and boosters

xD

[brisk roost]

Indeed

[pearl stratus]

Fissure and Boosters and Xepher and Geguri lol

[queen drift]

I feel bad for ark

😦

[hollow current]

KKonak

[ruby pendant]

wow

[pearl stratus]

JJonak with the hard carry tonight apparently.

[frozen moat]

Ana is so bad

[cloud notch]

when you like both teams

who do you root for

[queen drift]

The underdog

[pearl stratus]

Whichever one ends up winning

So you don't look like a loser.

[cloud notch]

lol

[queen drift]

Makes it more entertaining

[fluid dagger]

jjonak is always a hard carry

[queen drift]

If you root for the underdog and they lose you’re still happy the team you like wins

If they win you’re hyped and happy

[cloud notch]

this pharah sucks

[slim summit]

lol the barrage

[queen drift]

?????

[cloud notch]

lol

[queen drift]

Why lol

[balmy wolf]

Solo ulted lol

[cloud notch]

the hell were they thinking

[median saddle]

libero pls

[cloud notch]

missing two clear cut rockets

[vagrant niche]

wow crazy

[cloud notch]

and solo ulting

[pearl stratus]

LIbero was going to swap anyway, so probably just used it to get a support

[vagrant niche]

Jjonak scary

[slim summit]

if boston wins

i'm going to die

[fluid dagger]

rip

[cloud notch]

are they really afraid of neko that much

[rustic perch]

if they keep performing like that it could end as a 4-0 for boston

[humble moth]

ugh Houston plays Philly tonight. Guess we're going 0-4 again

[median saddle]

that sleep dart

damn

[balmy wolf]

That was a nice sleep dart.

[cloud notch]

gamsu is always a joy to watch

[ruby pendant]

they release ults to early

[fluid dagger]

😦

[pearl stratus]

Ark having that high ground is killer

Support you basically can't kill

[balmy wolf]

Ah well.

[vagrant niche]

nice!! bois we in for a good game

[fluid dagger]

very close

[ruby pendant]

they should wait for jonak to release his ult

Then they wouldn't have this reversal

[balmy wolf]

I think Boston might take NY to a fifth game.

[cloud notch]

you know, that big portrait of mercy in that skin made me realize something

[vagrant niche]

man, Jjonak so scary that a nano boosted winston have to scaddadle

[cloud notch]

she has really big

hair

[balmy wolf]

JJonak is the sole reason Zen got nerfed.

[vagrant niche]

SS Mercy

[balmy wolf]

JJonak is the only Zen in the entire league to have killed more Tracers than they have managed to kill him.

[queen drift]

I think pine / Mano are coming in

[cloud notch]

Zen murders Tracer

[ruby pendant]

@balmy wolf That's fact?

[queen drift]

For Libero/Janus

[balmy wolf]

Yeah.

There was a chart somewhere on /r/competitiveoverwatch

[cloud notch]

every Tracer player has to respect Zenyatta

[ruby pendant]

That's insane

[vagrant niche]

LETS GO PINE!!

[balmy wolf]

Zen can fuck up a Tracer if he's good enough.

1 discord headshot + melee = dead british girl

[limber pine]

https://i.redd.it/lz5y868kowq01.jpg

[balmy wolf]

That's the one.

[cloud notch]

what pisses me off is that Tracer alone is the most played hero in OWL yet they made 0 adjustments to her

[balmy wolf]

Lol Blizzard wouldn't dare touch Tracer.

She's supposedly perfectly balanced so all other hero balancing is done around her.

[queen drift]

Tracer is who they balance the game around

[ruby pendant]

@limber pine Thanks

[queen drift]

Indirectly nerf / buff her

[limber pine]

o7

[balmy wolf]

I wish Mei's freeze reduced the distance Tracer could blink.

[queen drift]

Brigitte is a huge nerf for tracer

[vagrant niche]

@cloud notch she's Bliz's golden child after all

[deft valley]

except none of that actually happens lol

she stays on top consistently

[median saddle]

Brigitte is a nerf to dive in general

[quiet shell]

Lmao

[balmy wolf]

I wish that if Mei half froze Tracer then she could only blink half the distance.

[deft valley]

brigitte aint' gonna do anything to tracer at pro level

[cloud notch]

too bad no one can use her yet

[quiet shell]

Fissure finna fist fight OGE

[balmy wolf]

Even some pros say that Tracer is too strong.

[quiet shell]

"Roll up in the gladiators room boy leggo"

[median saddle]

I wonder if OWL can go a week without drama

all of this is happening so quickly

[balmy wolf]

Lol OWL has more lore than the game at this point.

[brisk roost]

Lmfao

[queen drift]

I don’t mind Tracer being strong because she’s a high skill hero, like Genji

[night notch]

makes it feel like a real sport, getting constantly plagued by drama

[brisk roost]

Indeed

[quiet shell]

Bruh

[brisk roost]

That's why Tracer is annoying to 1v1

[quiet shell]

he legit invited his ass for a fist fight lmao

[queen drift]

Whereas Junk, Symm, Winston etc

Shouldn’t be too strong because they don’t have a high skill ceiling

[vagrant niche]

I don't think Brigitta is Tracer's hard counter tho

it's more like soft

[queen drift]

Yea

[vagrant niche]

like Mccre

[balmy wolf]

There's three heroes I hate playing against: Tracer, Junkrat, and Dva.

[median saddle]

I mean I feel Fissure and why he's angry and all that

[vagrant niche]

Tracer can still play around Brigitta

[balmy wolf]

Mind you at Gold there aren't any good Tracers unless they're GM smurfs lol.

[night notch]

implying sym isn't the most high skill hero in the game

[queen drift]

The armour is what breaks tracer

[median saddle]

but inviting someone for a fistfight lmao

[cloud notch]

I feel so bad for Shanghai lol

[forest wharf]

Oof 22-2 vs 7-9

[cloud notch]

haven't won a single game

[queen drift]

Yu really shouldn’t

They’re the wrong Chinese team

[balmy wolf]

Junkrat just feels pure bullshit to fight against.

[queen drift]

Chinese Overwatch peeps corrupt yo

[vagrant niche]

play Pharah tho

[balmy wolf]

Like it's always "oh crap a random nade rolled into my foot there goes 120hp"

[vagrant niche]

even tho, i still think that Junkrat has replace Pharah for the most part

[queen drift]

Team that didn’t deserve to be in owl are in owl and this is what happens

[vagrant niche]

replaced

[narrow edge]

@balmy wolf random elements always exist no matter the hero

[brisk roost]

@queen drift Hence why they can't win tbh

But ngl

Undead is a good McCree

[balmy wolf]

I'm fairly sure that Junkrats don't see 70% of the people they kill.

[queen drift]

Was

[narrow edge]

and lobbing nades is pretty much the entire concept of that hero

[queen drift]

Kappa

[cloud notch]

Diya

[brisk roost]

No kappas

[vagrant niche]

@balmy wolf lmao they don't need to

[narrow edge]

Junk isn't about seeing the enemy always

[vagrant niche]

can someone post that tweet by Uuber

[narrow edge]

It's about anticipating and reading the game

[median saddle]

Geguri, Ado, and Diya are all solid from what I saw

[vagrant niche]

about junkrat?

[median saddle]

they should build upon them

[balmy wolf]

Imo Junkrat's grenades should only do full 120 on direct impact, and do maybe 70 damage if they explode on timer.

[brisk roost]

Fearless is good too tbh

[cloud notch]

lol take out symmestra

[balmy wolf]

Make Junkrat require some level of aim.

[cloud notch]

symmetra*

[balmy wolf]

And also the grenades don't explode on contact after the first bounce.

[queen drift]

Give them a max range, reduce the spread, reduce the amount of bounces

[vital saddle]

alright im back

who yall got rn

[balmy wolf]

Just delete junkrat tbh.

There's a junkrat in every gold game and it's kinda depressing atm

[vagrant niche]

to be fair, Junkrat is excellent against brigitta

but we'll see once she goes into competitive

[twin dove]

u pin tails on ppls noses? 🤔

[queen drift]

Burst damage is in general

[night notch]

anyone with splash damage is good against her

[balmy wolf]

Getting killed by a junkrat doesn't feel like "wow i got outplayed" it just feels like shit

[twin dove]

getting killed by a junkrat is "I didnt even know there was a fking nade there"

lol

[vagrant niche]

@balmy wolf i feel more that way about Hanzo

lol

[night notch]

ya'll just hatin cuz junk is so handsome

[vital saddle]

lmao

[balmy wolf]

I only feel that way about Hanzo when I die to a foot scatter.

[vital saddle]

junk is pretty op

[balmy wolf]

Junkrat is fuckin sexy

[twin dove]

i feel like with the changes to hanzo, i've seen ALOT more BS Scatter Arrows clips. lol

[balmy wolf]

I'd smash tbh

But he's still bullshit to fight against

[rustic perch]

when you die to junk and think "oh i didnt know there was a nade" then it's your own fault, not because "muh junk sucks"

[night notch]

i mean, the nades do make ticking/dinging sounds

they're kinda hard to miss

[balmy wolf]

Yeah but sometimes they just bounce randomly into you

He's not even punished for being up in your face at close range

[rustic perch]

he was

[balmy wolf]

He's not now though.

[night notch]

i wish they'd just left his buffs at that honestly, i never wanted to have two mines

if he didn't have two mines the lack of self damage would be fine imo

[balmy wolf]

Also fuck that tire.

[vagrant niche]

are you are Tracer main?

lmao

XD

[balmy wolf]

Just shoot the tire looooool 4Head

[twin dove]

im a widow main that can only land shots on tires. without the tire i'd lose my role
