@hot compass good thing you didn't start yesterday because those games (other than LA vs LA) were disappointing lol
tall sierra
OWL must be paying the top 3 teams to throw on purpose lol, so that they don't keep winning the stage prizes and loose viewers.
fluid dagger
that game was absolutely insane
tall sierra
That throw by Profit...just odd
pearl stratus
Loose viewers would just be your mum π
ruby pendant
losing to a reverse sweep must suck
tall sierra
scratching head
pearl stratus
Now if we're talking about losing viewers.
ruby pendant
all that work for no reason
pearl stratus
NYXL isn't really trying right now.
Because they're worried about burn out
So they're practicing a bit less and scrimming less.
To get back some mental health towards the Stage Finale.
They can more than afford a few losses
vagrant niche
that's going to be the talk of the night
tall sierra
Yea they can afford it.
sweet canopy
Commentators haven't started talking about the throw yet
tall sierra
Gamsu and Striker carried so much...right plays at the right time. It all panned out.
pearl stratus
The chances of him sticking mistake are super low, and that EMP was the problem.
fluid dagger
that mistakes/striker stall was clutch
hybrid sluice
tfw all the korean teams are getting slaughtered this stage
pearl stratus
Uh.
vivid mesa
not new york
tall sierra
That's what I was saying... but you @pearl stratus said something about viewing and mum? lol π
pearl stratus
NYXL got their third loss of the entire season.
Oh, you used loose in stead of lose.
I was calling your mom a woman of negotiable affection β€
Because it was available on the typo.
vivid mesa
what a match guys
tall sierra
If the top 3 teams keep on winning... it'll lose viewers
vivid mesa
SCRIPTED
pearl stratus
I don't think its scripted at all, honestly.
hybrid sluice

pearl stratus
London is in a weird funk, they have been all Stage 3.
vivid mesa
itβs not lol
pearl stratus
And Seoul has been on a decline since Stage 1.
Their cohesion has been deteriorating while other teams have been improving.
frosty pendant
mad respect to boston for beating the top 2 teams even after the dreamkazper scandal
hybrid sluice
seoul is like the dallas fuel of korean teams
vivid mesa
but games like these is what keeps viewership high
pearl cedar
You cant script a player as good as striker
frosty pendant
props to the coaching and management for holding the team together
stable wadi
Paid throws?
tall sierra
Well when you have striker and gamsu... very solid
pearl stratus
Better than everyone else in the league.
Even NYXL.
I would say Boston has the best coaches.
vivid mesa
boston is so good at working AROUND gasmu and striker
pearl stratus
NYXL is just flush with a lot more mechanical talent.
pearl cedar
Eh, i'd say NYXL still has better coaching given the record
slim summit
London is very likely not going to make the title matches
pearl cedar
you cant argue with results
frosty pendant
If any other team had lost their star player like that, they wouldve fallen before winning again
slim summit
Philly would have to lose to Shanghai
vivid mesa
not a boston fan but i do give their coaching credit
pearl stratus
You can't, but look at the growth.
frosty pendant
but not boston
pearl cedar
but Boston is definitely a top 2 player in the league
pearl stratus
NYXL hasn't really grown, in my opinion, they haven't needed to.
warped axle
Striker > SBB? I think it's to early to say that
pearl stratus
Boston is basically a moneyball team.
It's a bunch of people most people didn't know much about, who were extremely coachable.
And they're turning them into monsters.
That's an insane coaching staff.
vivid mesa
boston handled the dreamkazper situation VERY well. also mistakes was ready
pearl cedar
50% sticks...
pearl stratus
Nah, Strikers not better than SBB.
pearl cedar
get the FUCKKK outtt
pearl stratus
SBB, realistically, is in a class all his own.
Because his tracer style is so unique.
stable wadi
London Fuel confirmed lmao
pearl stratus
So its not even a real comparison.
ruby pendant
lol
vivid mesa
sbb is the best player in the league IMO
warped axle
London vs Spitfire
pearl stratus
I would say Striker > or = to Effect however.
hearty sentinel
London with a similar record to Dallas Fuel π
tall sierra
I agree..SBB is SBB
vivid mesa
effect needs more support from his team
pearl stratus
The closest Tracer to SBB, purely in style (not in skill), is Jake.
Which makes sense.
fluid dagger
I think Striker is better hoenstly
vagrant niche
@vivid mesa no, it's Jjonak
pearl stratus
Since SBB and Jake are really close.
vagrant niche
he's the number 1
vivid mesa
jjonak is my FAVORITE player
vagrant niche
he's the best player on the league right now
fluid dagger
Boston top 3 HYPE!
idle beacon
I said in stage1 already that striker is one of the best tracers π
vivid mesa
honestly i do not disagree with you
pearl cedar
Boston is a top 2 team right now tbh
ruby pendant
Excelsior won next game
pearl cedar
and I think in any given day Striker can take out any tracer in the league in a 1 on 1
pearl stratus
I mean they may not, depends which NYXL we get.
vivid mesa
boston vs valiant may 3
fluid dagger
Uprising vs Valiant this stage is going to be a crazy insane game
tall sierra
So if you were OWL / Blizzard...and you had the top 3 teams keep winning... that's loss in profits from people losing interest...so what do you do?
Slip some bills to the top teams and say..."...wink just put on a show.."
Makes you think.
Definitely have to rewatch the VOD's
pearl stratus
The only one I would argue with with Striker is SBB. Because the play styles are so god damn different. Not to be a Sinatraa echo.
tall sierra
there were some plays that just didn't make sense.
vivid mesa
have you ever watched proffered sports @tall sierra
pearl stratus
But mechanically the rest of the leagues tracers play very similar.
vivid mesa
PROFESSIONAL
tall sierra
Like a NBA player shooting wayyy left of the hoop
vivid mesa
bunny is unique for sure
pearl stratus
Bunny's not unique, he's just... Bunny.
His style is very similar to Strikers.
Which is similar to the rest.
sweet canopy
@tall sierra Nah in that situation as Blizz I'd hype the hell out of those three teams. With only three, you can give more spotlight to them and the players in them, to build hype that way
fluid dagger
@tall sierra I mean anything's possible but it's not like Boston didn't make mistakes too. Also London had all the pressure on them while Boston had the momentum. Even pros aren't 100% immune to pressure.
pearl stratus
Bunny is probably closest in overall type of play to Effect.
More lone wolf aggro tracers.
tall sierra
That is true..
vivid mesa
bunny at least has a good team
tall sierra
Just seems odd ya know...
vivid mesa
@tall sierra i get what youβre saying
hearty sentinel
Holy Crap and Boston has to go against Seoul tomorrow. Talk about a bit of a schedule :P. Going against London and Seoul in the same week
sweet canopy
@tall sierra The last thing Blizz wants to do is risk undermining its integrity as an esport developer and promoter
tall sierra
On another Note...Shanghai looks very different now with the 3 Koreans
Made a difference.
But too late for them
vivid mesa
geguri has made a HUGE difference
pearl stratus
They'll be interesting in Season 2 imo.
rain pewter
they beat NYXL and london 3-2
pearl stratus
Fearless too.
rain pewter
seoul's not too bad at this point of time for them i'd say
pearl stratus
Once Fearless and supports get on the same page, they'll be interesting.
warped axle
Seoul, you better watch out
sweet canopy
@vagrant niche holy shit lol
warped axle
Boston's coming
pearl stratus
Because his high aggro Winston play is amazing, but he's got a huge disconnect with his supports.
vivid mesa
ado has been stepping it up, filling the hole that undead left
fluid dagger
Seoul is shaking in their booties, Uprising out for blood this stage
pearl stratus
Diya is finally getting back into his Widow groove.
Which is nice.
Because Diya is a great widow.

Dynasty is probably practicing their ass off right about now lol
vivid mesa
seoul is gonna have to throw harder if they donβt wanna make stage playoffs

what about snillo's tracer ?
hybrid sluice
the real question is if and who'll SD get their first win from this season
pearl stratus
Snillos tracer is really good.
stable wadi
iunlock - Today at 10:02 PM
So if you were OWL / Blizzard...and you had the top 3 teams keep winning... that's loss in profits from people losing interest...so what do you do?
Slip some bills to the top teams and say..."...wink just put on a show.."
Makes you think.
Definitely have to rewatch the VOD's
Bit too Tinfoil Hat imo
pearl stratus
His problem is his lack of flex, imo. In the long run.
tall sierra
Sitting very comfortably
warped axle
London and Seoul are fighting to see which team can throw harder
stable wadi
I think London has just been shaken since losing to Philly
idle beacon
what about snillo's tracer ?
vivid mesa
philly dps is very nice
pearl stratus
For right now its fine since Carpe and Eqo can flex so much.
fluid dagger
think Philly can take out NYXL?
pearl stratus
But a lot of teams have started doing this rotating door tracer style based around their dps.
idle beacon
what do you mean his lack of flex?
tall sierra
@stable wadi actually not ...it's possible.. look at it from a business stand point.
pearl stratus
Yeah, Philly can take NYXL.
idle beacon
oh you mean, he's tracer only?
pearl stratus
Snillo only really plays Tracer.
vivid mesa
you had carpe, who can play widow and tracer, but then snillo comes in, so now philly can play tracer and widow AT THE SAME TIME
fluid dagger
If Philly takes out NY they move up to Boston's level and remove another peg from NY's board
pearl stratus
Him and Bunny are the only two left who are just Tracers.
vagrant fossil
4Head HELLO POLICE? 4Head PROFIT IS IN MY ROOM WITH A PULSE BOMB 4Head WHATS THAT? 4Head STAY AWAY FROM THE WALLS? 4Head
btw
stable wadi
I get that it's possible but so are many other things; there's a difference between possible and probable and I don't think that it's particularly in Blizzard's interest to rig games
pearl stratus
Originally we had Tracer + Other DPS plays everything, which is nice.
idle beacon
sbb played something else than tracer?
pearl stratus
But now we're also getting both DPS play Tracer, with different specializations beyond the Tracer.
pearl stratus
SBB has played Widow and McCree a lot.
vivid mesa
roadhog sbb
idle beacon
i've missed that
vivid mesa
itβs not common
pearl stratus
So you get teams like LAG
indigo barn
Does NYXL take another L tonight???????
pearl stratus
Where they have 3-4 Tracers now.
With different specializations beyond that.
So the two DPS can really rotate things around a lot.
Shock has a bunch too.
Same with Florida.
It's the new trend.
vivid mesa
valiant has been great now that soon is free from tracer jail
pearl stratus
There's more teams now that rotate tracers, than teams that do not.
tall sierra
@stable wadi fair enough, but with stuff like this, the point for anyone behind it to not make it seem probable is the whole point, so even if it was true we wouldn't know lol, therefore it is possible.
pearl stratus
It's an interesting trend.
stable wadi
I don't think that's how possibility works
vivid mesa
Floridaβs dps is similar to Phillyβs, with the whole Tracer + Widow + ? composition
tall sierra
Ah typo..I'm on my phone uggh
pearl stratus
@vivid mesa Similar to LAG too.
vivid mesa
facts
pearl stratus
LAG has two people who can very solidly Tracer + Widow, one pure projectile who can Lucio, and one hitscan who can tracer and Genji.
It's a really interesting DPS line up.

nyxl is very... polished

I don't know about on par...that's a bit of a stretch..
pearl stratus
I said it earlier today - minus Shanghai and Dallas right now - any team can take any team on any given day.

NYXL is so much higher in many categories.
pearl stratus
It's all on who makes more mistakes.
minor flame
Philly, Dallas, Houston, Boston
tall sierra
That's true @pearl stratus
vivid mesa
every team has the POTENTIAL to be as good as them
pearl stratus
Look at things we used to make fun of that we really can't anymore.
If you watched the Houston game today.
We can't even really make fun of Jake Tracer anymore.
The memes!

With all these very different styles coming together.
pearl stratus
They're a really good duo being able to rotate around the Tracer.
It's interesting to watch it evolve.

yes. houston seems to have figured out their tracer problem

I wouldn't go -quite- that far, but they're getting there.

it was around the time when EQO got that kill on the mercy right at spawn i think

but the stall tho
vagrant niche
but on 2cp is not nice
those stalls are dumb
they should push the spawn back
like how they are doing with Horizon

NYXL eventually made some space for themselves with the shitload of ults
so that stalled it even further
vagrant niche
yeah but it's not fair IMO for the attacking team
they did huge wipes
why are they able to continue to stagger
it's the same thing on bliz world
minor flame
Thats on PD's fault though, took too long to get any picks
restive mason
that was a really aggressive peek on the spawn by carpe

Did anyone think coming into OWL that Boston and Philly would be going toe to toe with teams like NYXL and London?
rain pewter
NYXL's roster is fairly constant during this time when the other teams are changing theirs right?

Pretty much

NYXL hasn't really needed to change though. They've only lost 1 match in each stage so far

I think the (former) top 3 got complacent π
minor flame
Seoul is the only one besides Fuel to not 4-0 Shanghai
rain pewter
of course people don't get physically tired from sitting down in a chair but to say that there's no fatigue from playing high intensity high pressure matches 3 times in a row is a bit...
i mean i don't disagree that they should be used to it
just
give some credit where it's due
stable wadi
I don't think people are saying that fatigue doesn't happen so much as if it's a factor chances are both sides are getting tired
So if it ends up being an issue it means that one team is just way worse at handling fatigue than the other
rain pewter
oh i was mostly talking about the "yeah i'm gonna get tired from sitting down in a chair" part
i agree with the rest, ofc

Tiredness is an inability to draw on energy. This could be because there is no energy, or it could be that the energy faucet is jammed shut.

He's mentally refreshed more than a cheater.
He didn't play in Stage 2, he got to relax and has pretty much no burn out.
He's bascally been able to recoup to full form.

because they dont have massive ego and play to improve and prove themselves
unlike some of the top teams
fluid dagger
Koreans got shaken, didn't expect to be challenged so soon π
sinful fox
that settled because they already knew they were good
minor flame
Philly was always a challenge to NYXL from the start
fluid dagger
complacency is killer
sinful fox
the only reason philly is good is because of chef heidi
