[stable wadi]

I was about to come in here and ask if we could talk about that

[raw zealot]

Thrownatraa

[coarse willow]

what a hold

[raw zealot]

Blowin' himself up

[stable wadi]

That was like 3 trans ults in the span of 4 minutes

[brisk roost]

SINATRA LLOOL

150K

[vagrant niche]

@raw zealot what you talking about? he got a triple kill

[pearl stratus]

Boombox just managed JJonak charge times.

[raw zealot]

Wait

[coarse willow]

2 kills and himself u mean

xd

[raw zealot]

are you

yeah lmao

[vagrant niche]

LOL yes

[torpid charm]

[pearl stratus]

Even if he only got one kill, Mercy to Tracer trade is 100% fine.

[raw zealot]

[pearl stratus]

On point B Vol'.

[hot compass]

that was a nice last second push

[raw zealot]

Bet you guys cant wait until I'm screaming 🔥 🔛 🔥 🔛

[stable wadi]

^^^^^^^^^

I love Philly but can we get to the SHD match please

[raw zealot]

That's the match of the day I'm so excited about

[pearl stratus]

Also I think this is the first time we haven't seeen Danteh out there.

[raw zealot]

For sure, I'm a huge fusion fan myself

[hollow current]

so uh

do the players use default skins in the matches?

[stable wadi]

Yes

They play a version of the game that's modded to always display default skins

That way everything's fair

[hollow current]

so does the spectator client just show the team skins?

[stable wadi]

Yep

[hollow current]

mkay

[ruby pendant]

lost yesterday got to Fusion's head

[stable wadi]

Yeah seems that way :/

They basically just rolled over and let Point A happen there

[slim summit]

why is philly throwing

[pearl stratus]

I mean its not like Shock is a bad team.

[hollow current]

because thats how we do it in philly

[stable wadi]

They're not a bad team, no

Philly doesn't seem to be playing like Philly though

except for Boombox

[slim summit]

Shock isn't a bad team ... but they're adjacent to the bad teams in standings

[stable wadi]

of course as soon as I say that Boombox gets capped

rip

[brisk roost]

True

Shock lost to Mayhem last stage

[stable wadi]

Fragi what are you doing my dude

[pearl stratus]

Yeah and Shock also destroyed LAG at the start of the stage.

[stable wadi]

Dude jumped out of Point B with half health lmao

[hollow current]

fragging out... for the enemy team

[pearl stratus]

It's that rock paper scissor part of OW with these teams.

[hollow current]

Kappa

[slim summit]

glads have been playing like shit this stage tho

[stable wadi]

Fragi was like "lemme just feed rq"

[vagrant niche]

is there some sort of strategy with the sprays?

[slim summit]

no

just bad habit

[stable wadi]

The players just dropping them around you mean?

They just do it

[twin dove]

yes, have a button you can spam for funzies

lol

[brisk roost]

SNILLO YO

[pallid cargo]

LOL

blocked

[slim summit]

there's some old school sc theory where maintaining high APM in moments of inactivity is better

[pearl stratus]

Its to keep their hands and fingers moving

[slim summit]

yeah

but idk if that is actually significantly useful

[stable wadi]

Not everyone does it so idk

I always assumed they just did it for fun

[coarse willow]

APM?

[hollow current]

just preference

i do it all the time

[stable wadi]

Actions Per Minute

[slim summit]

^

[coarse willow]

oh

[stable wadi]

Old RTS term for how many clicks and commands you're issuing every 60 seconds

More actions, more productivity, more advantage.

[coarse willow]

is that for heat?

oh

that place must be cold

[stable wadi]

I think the FGC uses it too but to a lesser degree

[coarse willow]

they always have hand warmers

[slim summit]

so basically the idea is pressing buttons really fast when you don't need to makes it easier to press buttons fast when you do need to

[pearl stratus]

You'll also notice most widows spam right click in between fights too when they're not scoped.

[slim summit]

and that idea could theoretically apply to sprays

[vagrant niche]

@stable wadi you talking about fighting games?

[pearl stratus]

And the scope does the little jiggle.

[slim summit]

if it's true in the first place

[vagrant niche]

cause there's no sprays there

[coarse willow]

yea i do that with widow

[stable wadi]

@vagrant niche No, I mean APM

Some people use APM in a fighting game context

[vagrant niche]

i don't follow

[slim summit]

how tf did they not kill super

[coarse willow]

wow gg

[slim summit]

ridiculous

[stable wadi]

Keeks - Today at 6:27 PM
Actions Per Minute

Keeks - Today at 6:27 PM
Old RTS term for how many clicks and commands you're issuing every 60 seconds
More actions, more productivity, more advantage.

[slim summit]

super was fucking 1 and two were right there

[pearl stratus]

It derives from Starcraft.

For meta micromanagement of units.

Afaik.

[vagrant niche]

but fighting games don't use clicks

is what i'm saying

[pearl stratus]

It's not clicks, its just actions.

[stable wadi]

So in a fighting game context it becomes inputs

[pearl stratus]

Actions per minute doesn't mean clicks.

It means actions, whether its button presses/blocks/keyclicks etc.

[vagrant niche]

right, but what input are you doing that means you doing the same way I see these sprays?

i'm trying to understand the comparison

[stable wadi]

Fighting games still have input logic

How quickly are you issuing combo commands

How long are your chains

[vagrant niche]

i play them a lot

[pearl stratus]

It's not a comparison, its a terminology used to describe input commands per minute.

[stable wadi]

^

Literally all I'm saying is that some people also talk about APM in fighting games

How many inputs you have on average compared to someone else

[vagrant niche]

that depends on the character you are playing and the game

[stable wadi]

Yes

[pearl stratus]

Either way it exists.

You're way overthinking this.

[stable wadi]

I think you're confusing yourself by overthinking--yeah

You can technically apply APM to any game that involves repeated input

it's just not always helpful

[vagrant niche]

maybe, i just don't understand what does fighting game inputs have to do with a spray input that you do on the game like overwatch. On a fighting game you press an input on Neutral and it might cost you

big time

[stable wadi]

Here's the conversation flow:

[vagrant niche]

i thought you were talking about something like whiffing normals to time the oki

or something like that

[stable wadi]

"Why do people use sprays randomly in OW"
"Maybe they do it to keep their APM up"
"What's APM"
"It's a RTS term that sometimes gets used in fighting games"

And then you came in right after that

[vagrant niche]

in all my years of playing fighting game, i never, ever heard of APM used

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary_of_fighting_games

that's why i was asking

[stable wadi]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actions_per_minute

Well now you have

[vagrant niche]

ok thanks

i'm just not familiar with that

never seen it brought up till now

[pallid cargo]

Hex with good analysis

[pearl stratus]

And good pun.

[pallid cargo]

And Semmler doesn't know what the fuck Hex is talking about

[pearl stratus]

Heroes never say die is a Mercy thing.

[pallid cargo]

Just waiting for Hex to stop talking

Why did Blizzard hire Semmler if he's so bad at casting OW

[vagrant niche]

I still never seen that term used on fighting games period

[zealous plaza]

how many akms would it take to beat nyxl

[hollow current]

too many

[pallid cargo]

How many APMs could AKM APM, if AKM could APM APMs

[stable wadi]

Just google "fighting games APM" and you can find some forums where people talk about it

There's debate as to whether or not it's useful for fighting games which is why it's only used sometimes, because fighting games have issues of pacing, spacing, and punishment which doesn't translate to "spam buttons always"

Though some people view it as in how many combos / actions you should have when you're not dealing with dead space or "waiting"

[zealous plaza]

melee isn't exactly a traditional fighting game but apm gets some use as a phrase there because of the emphasis on inputs

[stable wadi]

^ yeah

[pearl stratus]

Widow in the boat.

[hot compass]

is this relevant?

[lethal plank]

Why we talking about fighting games when philly just took the point?

[vagrant niche]

well to be honest, Smash is a controversial thing for fighting games but not going to get into that

as far tradition goes

but if you say they use it there, well i guess

[pearl stratus]

Who would win.

Philly or a broom capable of sweeping.

[stable wadi]

neptuno why

[pallid cargo]

sinatraa doesn't seem as good as he was hyped up to be

[lethal plank]

I'm shocked at how young snillo looks. There's no way he's 18

[stable wadi]

Looks 18 to me

[pallid cargo]

I'm shocked that I'm older than a lot of OWL players

[pearl stratus]

If anyone is talked about as being good at the Ladder, assume they'll be shit in OW.\

[pallid cargo]

I'm shocked that I'm older than Jake lol

[zealous plaza]

j j o n a k

[pallid cargo]

jjonak

[stable wadi]

I remember reading a while back that after like 20 or something your reaction time goes down

[pearl stratus]

Sinatraa will be fine in time.

Yeah, one person. Doesn't make a case.

[stable wadi]

So people that are teenagers are better at FPS games

[lethal plank]

I think I'm older than all of these players and I'm only 33 lol

[pallid cargo]

jjonak is a household name in OW

[pearl stratus]

Remember iRemix is now the #1 tank on the ladder 😛

[gritty yacht]

There goes that pulse bomb donated to the human fund?

Did anyone catch that?

Brilliant.

[lethal plank]

Super play

[gritty yacht]

That Seinfeld reference, on point.

[hot compass]

seems like every team has a widow

[lethal plank]

Widow is op

[stable wadi]

man Blizzard World is such a shit map

[gritty yacht]

Uhm, Widow is a hero whose ability is quite relative to the skill of the person plaing her.

Yeah Blizzard World seems like it should be on PTR still.

[lethal plank]

At least it isn't horizon colony

[stable wadi]

Honestly BW is worse

[hot compass]

i'm in gold and 90% of widows in gold are shit

[stable wadi]

at least for me

I don't feel like the HLC rework we've seen does enough though

[lethal plank]

Nevix an hero

[stable wadi]

lmao what

Super my dude

[pallid cargo]

Super's secret is that he isn't always angry

[stable wadi]

I'm rooting for Philly but there was no reason not to pop ult there

This is pre-patch BW so they'd have an incredible spawn advantage

[lethal plank]

C8

[pallid cargo]

That headshake from Snillo

[median saddle]

Danteh's sombra is clean

[brisk roost]

Ikr

[vagrant niche]

everything danteh plays is clean

he's a hard carry

[pallid cargo]

does sinatraa play non-tracer heroes?

[twin dove]

LOL

shots fired

[pearl stratus]

Sinatraa plays a passable genji, an insane Zarya, and a few others it seems.

[stable wadi]

Why are we talking about Sinatraa when he's not even here

not being snarky, legitimately curious

was something said earlier

[median saddle]

I like Architect a lot more than Sinatraa

[pearl stratus]

He played first map for Shock.

[median saddle]

from what I've been seeing

[pearl stratus]

Which is why he got talked about then

[stable wadi]

Oh I must have not been paying attention

I was here for map 1 and I didn't notice the swap

[lethal plank]

C8

[twin dove]

i like hearing the name Architect lol

[vagrant niche]

Shock going ham

[pearl stratus]

Yeah Danteh was out for Map 1.

[slim summit]

philly why

[brisk roost]

Gonna call a reverse sweep

[median saddle]

Tilted since NYXL

[hidden osprey]

the fuck happened to philly

[pearl stratus]

Philly most likely put all their effort into the NYXL map.

[zealous plaza]

is philly still good

[pearl stratus]

And not into the shock map

[stable wadi]

Yancy - Today at 6:52 PM
Tilted since NYXL

Definitely this

[pearl stratus]

It's not even tilting, its just prep.

You can't prep for two teams on back to back days.

[torpid charm]

this is sad to watch

[pearl stratus]

You pick one.

[warped axle]

It's neither

[pearl stratus]

They picked NYXL.

[warped axle]

It's fatigue

[lethal plank]

I swear the audience are paid actors

[stable wadi]

I don't have a source for it but apparently my friend saw an article that said that Philly got super tilted when Poko told the team not to get reverse swept in the middle of the match

So they tanked

Might still be feeling that fallout

[lethal plank]

Their expressions are just obviously fake

[brisk roost]

R66 is Philly's map

Nepal could go either way

[pearl stratus]

Not lately.

[hot compass]

i saw this kid yesterday in the audience who was just staring blankly

[pearl stratus]

Shock has been obscene on Nepal lately.

[hot compass]

it was weird

[twin dove]

lol

[stable wadi]

EVIL - Today at 6:53 PM
i saw this kid yesterday in the audience who was just staring blankly

I remember that kid lmao

Some of the audience reactions are great

I love Hydration Man

[pearl stratus]

My guess is Shock will run the Triple Tank on Nepal with Danteh on Tracer or Junk.

[vagrant niche]

i remember the brat too

[pearl stratus]

With Sinatraa on Zarya.

[vagrant niche]

camera man should had gotten better shots

instead of giving it so much attention

for low effort

[stable wadi]

R8 Promethean - Today at 6:53 PM
R66 is Philly's map

Isn't this literally what they said about King's Row back in the S2 finals

Before getting absolutely fucking rolled

[pearl stratus]

Eh its no different from what they do when the crowd pan in other sports.

You find the weird people who make good clips.

[brisk roost]

@stable wadi Well yeah that's the stage titles now

[supple prism]

philly nearly beats NYE now struggles against SFS

[brisk roost]

But just a stage game then Philly could

[stable wadi]

I mean I'm just saying that like

[brisk roost]

Tbf London dropped Hanamura too

[stable wadi]

They seem to get trashed when they get cocky and think they've got it

Like this consistently happens

Even happened yesterday

[brisk roost]

Bringing in Pine was a great idea to reverse sweep tbh

[lethal plank]

Is today free Blizzard access or something or did they actually change the between maps screen?

[stable wadi]

I think they just changed the waiting screens yeah

[supple prism]

they are trying to get people to buy into the access thing

[stable wadi]

It's been like that for the past few days

[vagrant niche]

of course, they been shilling that non stop

[supple prism]

seems people think they need better camera control to make it worth it though

[vagrant niche]

more like, they should make it free

i heard Dota2 does it

[hot compass]

what access thing?

[vagrant niche]

if people want to get scammed, they are going to get away with it of course

[supple prism]

twtich all access pass

[vagrant niche]

like i say, vote with your money

[torpid charm]

guess it's time for a reverse sweep

[lethal plank]

What does that even give you?

Nah Philly sucks

Yeah USA has fuckton of flavors for ice cream

[silk linden]

"so many varieties!" --> Lemon

[lethal plank]

Japan has fuckton flavors of chips

[brisk roost]

@torpid charm Yeah Philly's prob gonna reverse sweep xD!

Which I hope

[vagrant niche]

Murica is great, it just gets too much crap

it's great living here

[brisk roost]

I live in Canada

Like I said earlier xD!

[slate wraith]

for now

[torpid charm]

I hope so two, it would be sad to see us go 0-2 this week

[lethal plank]

I live in Japan but from America

Quitters never quit? Wut

[warped axle]

This match is illegitimate since Philly has not been given enough time in between games

If SFS wins it means nothing

[lethal plank]

Lol no

[strong crescent]

it means that sfs wins

which I'll be happy with

[vagrant niche]

yeah you got to give credit to shock

[slate wraith]

nah kuni, i'm a philly fan and i know their destiny is up to them, no excuses

[vagrant niche]

is not like they are not making the effort

[slate wraith]

they knew what the schedule was so they should have prepared better

feelsbadman

[strong crescent]

what do you mean by "time in between games"

you mean maps?

[warped axle]

19 hours between the NYXL and SFS game

[lethal plank]

Lllloooo

whose is this

[lethal plank]

You're just trying to defend a shit tier team that has been getting lucky

[slate wraith]

i mean yeah, it's a tall order to pull that off but the reality is that if you want to be an elite team you gotta be able to handle those times when you get screwed by the schedule

[strong crescent]

which one @lethal plank

[warped axle]

I'm trying to say that teams should have a day break at least

[lethal plank]

Philly of course

[warped axle]

Boston are getting screwed too

[strong crescent]

yeah but boston is still doing well

also, it's literally impossible for every team to have a day's break, except off days

[vagrant niche]

Malik excusing them as well

lmao

[strong crescent]

because 8 teams play per day

and there are only 12 teams

[warped axle]

No it's possible

[stable wadi]

My friend that reads Korean has been reading Geguri's twitter like non-stop lmao

[warped axle]

6 teams?

Not 8

[stable wadi]

Apparently she tried Spicy Cheetos and really loves them

[lethal plank]

(Detroiter here. Fuck philly and Pittsburgh. Especially Pittsburgh. Fuck Crosby)

[strong crescent]

ok but it's still impossible, at least all the time

[vagrant niche]

you friend must be a big fan of Geguri

to be doing that

Paparassi

[supple prism]

hope she doesnt get use to eating unhealthy

[stable wadi]

I mean he's Korean himself so it's not hard to read or anything for him

But yeah he is a big fan

[vagrant niche]

i mean, she's already chubby

and she's a gamer

[lethal plank]

Asian girls love sweets.

[vagrant niche]

shrug

[slate wraith]

it's impossible to not be a fan of spicy cheetos

[stable wadi]

^^^^^^

Spicy Cheetos are fucking amazing

[brisk roost]

Fucking amazing indeed

[stable wadi]

They apparently don't have them in Korea though which is why she never had them

I pity the Koreans

[slate wraith]

let's see if philly will get spicy and win this map amirite

[stable wadi]

oof

I hope

Embrace the reverse sweep Philly

[brisk roost]

Yeah

Pass the NYXL curse

Pass that curse that NYXL gave you last night

[slate wraith]

we are in the EMP meta bois

[final river]

didn't Philly nearly beat NY yesterday?

[stable wadi]

yeah

I'm 99% sure they're still tilting from NYXE's reverse sweep

falconbunch - Today at 7:09 PM
we are in the EMP meta bois

tfw the OW meta just gets worse every time

[hot compass]

fusion don't seem to have their shit together today

Nah a nyxl loss to fuel wouldn't be too shocking. Nyxl losing to Shanghai would be a huge shock

[torpid charm]

they're hella disjointed

[final river]

rip I predicted a Philly win

[brisk roost]

Cmon Philly smh

[stable wadi]

Yeah this more than just "prep time"

This is like

flailing around

[brisk roost]

At least make the reverse sweep dream come true

[vagrant niche]

@lethal plank that almost happened

last stage

[slate wraith]

philly looks like my typical matchmaking lol

[stable wadi]

Like even if they just used all their prep time on NYXE I'd still expect them to be a little more coordinated

They feel like a pickup team

[warped axle]

SFS are a bad team that got lucky

[gritty yacht]

If this is a reverse sweep I'll defecate a brick and fornicate with it.

[stable wadi]

woh

where are they

Some kinky shit huh

[stable wadi]

That was the weirdest teamfight I've seen all week

[slate wraith]

they're def tilted

[stable wadi]

EQO goes around the back and comes back and his team is just fucking GONE

Then they show up again and all die

[brisk roost]

Yeah Philly is tilted asf

[stable wadi]

[hot compass]

what if fusion celebrated 4/20 and thats why they are losing?

[warped axle]

Meaningless match

they're just

[stable wadi]

Oh hey they're making progress now

Okay that's something

[slim summit]

I'm starting a change.org petition to rename the Philadelphia Fusion to the Philadelphia Fuel

[warped axle]

[hearty sentinel]

REVERSEEEE SWEEEEPPPPP

[stable wadi]

They're already looking better

[warped axle]

LETS GO PHILLY

[brisk roost]

REVERSE SWEEP

[gritty yacht]

Do you guys know nothing about jinxes?

[brisk roost]

CMON PHILLY

[hot compass]

COMEBACK ALERT

[median saddle]

the script writers are really running out of ideas

[hearty sentinel]

It was Route 66 next, right?

[median saddle]

this would be the 3rd reverse sweep

[lethal plank]

Premature celebration right here

[strong crescent]

please no reverse sweep

[gritty yacht]

These are the people who say "It's a no hitter going into the ninth"

[stable wadi]

It's not premature, we're just hopeful

[vagrant niche]

@gritty yacht don't panic yet

[warped axle]

Has Philly ever lost on R66?

[vagrant niche]

it's only 1 map

[brisk roost]

REVERSE SEEP

[gritty yacht]

I am a neutral party.

[brisk roost]

What's the record of Philly on Route 66?

[gritty yacht]

I like good Overwatch

[slate wraith]

it's not a reverse sweep yet but EQO did just pull out a big broom...

[gritty yacht]

I'm just saying

[warped axle]

^

[gritty yacht]

You don't say "it's almost a shutout" with two minutes left in the third.

[warped axle]

I want to see Prime Philly vs Prime SFS

[stable wadi]

Yancy - Today at 7:24 PM
the script writers are really running out of ideas

Yancy - Today at 7:24 PM
this would be the 3rd reverse sweep

Alternatively teams are just bottoming out skill-wise and matches are becoming more interesting overall

[lethal plank]

One map win out of 3 and calling reverse sweep is definitely premature

[hearty sentinel]

Hope is still alive

That's what's important

[stable wadi]

We're saying it out of hope

[gritty yacht]

How does she feel about that?

[warped axle]

If Philly bring this to game 5 they are winning

[strong crescent]

prime fusion vs prime shock would be a spectacle for sure

[warped axle]

Absolutely

[gritty yacht]

Being used as a vessel for your opinions.

[brisk roost]

Nah don't bring SDB on game 5

Last time they did it didn't go well

[summer tangle]

I want an upset for shock

[regal stratus]

If shock are playing super we are gold. Shock ftw

[lethal plank]

I'm more excited for the next match up

[warped axle]

I want Shock to be a better team

[lethal plank]

Good Shanghai

[summer tangle]

Playing SUPER

[strong crescent]

same kuni

same

[summer tangle]

geddit

[warped axle]

But they are just average

[stable wadi]

Shanghai when

[summer tangle]

I want shanghai to win

[strong crescent]

back in 1 second BUT HEY HERE'S A SOUR PATCH KIDS AD FIRST!

[regal stratus]

Are the dragons playing tonight?

[brisk roost]

Yep

[hearty sentinel]

yes

[warped axle]

Saya will eat Shanghai for breakfast

[stable wadi]

The ads are getting intense

[hearty sentinel]

Against FL

[brisk roost]

Against Mayhem

Ninja'd

[summer tangle]

Mayhem vs dragons

[warped axle]

No offense to SHD fans but it's going to be a stretch seeing them win

[regal stratus]

Mayhem ftw

[stable wadi]

WRAP UP THE GAME

I WANT SHANGHAI NOW

[lethal plank]

Daammnn she looks good in those clothes

[hearty sentinel]

I wanna see Shanghai against the Fuel 😛

[brisk roost]

Next stage

They already did

For this stage xD!

[summer tangle]

Zoey is getting fired

She said tryhard

[gritty yacht]

Auguste is so wide. He's such a wideboye

Semmler.

How does he find shirts to fit his shoulders?

[summer tangle]

SNILLO IS 12

[gritty yacht]

If he drove a motorcycle he'd fly off it

[strong crescent]

he doesn't find them, he makes them

[gritty yacht]

From the force of the wind

[hearty sentinel]

The script writers are running out of ideas it seems

3 reverse sweeps in a row

[summer tangle]

lul

[gritty yacht]

SH

Stop

STOP

SH

STOP

Jinxing it!

You're jinxers!

[strong crescent]

no keep jinxing it

[summer tangle]

They're gonna reverse sweep

[gritty yacht]

JINXERS!

[summer tangle]

you know it

[strong crescent]

by all means

[slate wraith]

reverse sweep are becoming a meme?

[hearty sentinel]

I don't know. Shock could still do this

[stable wadi]

The script writers are running out of ideas it seems

4 Zenyatta games in a row

[warped axle]

They are likely to reverse sweep based on history

[hearty sentinel]

pulls out anti-jinxing strategies

[slate wraith]

at least we haven't seen as many 4-0's as stage 1 and 2

[warped axle]

But SFS could win

[gritty yacht]

They could. Shock is a strong team, they can definitely make this happen.

[summer tangle]

Boombox really nailed that wall

With his right click

[gritty yacht]

But Fusion with their back against the wall need to play a really careful, and strong game.

[summer tangle]

WHAT ARE YOU AIMING AT

[gritty yacht]

For two maps.

[summer tangle]

sick shot

jeeeez

[slate wraith]

rip

[summer tangle]

LEGEND

[hearty sentinel]

Architect has pulled out his Carpe impersonation

[summer tangle]

Was that 4 picks?

[hot compass]

my god that was great

[strong crescent]

holy shit that headshot was clean

[vestal berry]

damn, wasnt architect a projectile specialist?

[pallid cargo]

this is actually painful to watch

[hearty sentinel]

yes

[pallid cargo]

its like one of my gold games

[stable wadi]

the tilt is too hard

[hot compass]

i love watching good widow plays

[stable wadi]

we thought they could recover but they need more time

[lethal plank]

Philly looking like carpe crape

[strong crescent]

oh my god

[summer tangle]

revenge

[stable wadi]

whew

[coarse willow]

wow

[pallid cargo]

I can't with fusion

THEY'RE TEARING ME APART

[hot compass]

close one

[strong crescent]

1 map lost Architect: DESTRUCTION

[vestal berry]

that took too long to kill 2 tanks

[gritty yacht]

That fall back strategy didn't work for them

[pallid cargo]

FUSION IS TRYING TO KILL ME

[strong crescent]

DEATH FOR ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSE ME

[hearty sentinel]

Zen on the payload of course

[vestal berry]

they pushed up that far on purpose

so that zen has a free push

[regal stratus]

Who’s attacking?

[hearty sentinel]

Philly

[pallid cargo]

my delicate disposition can't handle this match

[vestal berry]

you can see whos attacking right next to their name banners

[stable wadi]

He's not watching the game

He's at work

[vestal berry]

ah ok

[coarse willow]

jesus architect

calm down

[hearty sentinel]

I loved those cracks last night where Malik felt the need to explain the basics of escort because people seem to be allergic too it 😂

[coarse willow]

lmao same

[vestal berry]

Sinattraa got destroyed

[humble moth]

ayyy

[strong crescent]

hits all these headshots, yet can

[coarse willow]

"the payload heals you"

[summer tangle]

rip

[strong crescent]

can't hit a slowly flying mercy

[regal stratus]

Ya, sadly not watching. 😦 damn you work haha

[stable wadi]

Collin#12262 - Today at 7:38 PM
"the payload heals you"

I honestly question how many people know this

[vestal berry]

every bit they push counts

[stable wadi]

Because it seems like most people don't based on sheer gameplay

[coarse willow]

tbh i didnt know that before he said it

[regal stratus]

Is architect popping off?

[summer tangle]

Yes

[coarse willow]

very much

[hearty sentinel]

That's the kind of thing that should be included in the loading screen tips. "The payload heals you"

[coarse willow]

wow

[hearty sentinel]

So they almost make it to point B

[median saddle]

Architect is a monster

[vestal berry]

that was basically 2 points

[median saddle]

jfc

[regal stratus]

I knew he’d be a good grab for my shock. Him and danteh are gonna rule for the shock.

[pallid cargo]

I think that stream chat spamming "C9" when it's obviously not is just a meme now

[median saddle]

to chat everything is a C9

[pallid cargo]

like they spam it as a meme

to meme

[hot compass]

i smell a shock victory

[pallid cargo]

they pushed cart in OT basically for all of point b

[vagrant niche]

i mean, that was kind of 2 points

[hearty sentinel]

SUPER ON DOOMFIST

[vagrant niche]

and they have Carpe

who knows

[hearty sentinel]

Is he trolling us?

Yes

[vestal berry]

DAMNIT ARCH

[stable wadi]

where are they

jesus

[hot compass]

wtf are they doing?

[median saddle]

they're tilted

[lethal plank]

Philly throwing

[hearty sentinel]

This is sad

[coarse willow]

theyre having a real quick circle jerk before they contest

[stable wadi]

This is probably the worst hold I have ever seen

So much free ground

what the fuck

[vestal berry]

architect has some 6th sense for enemy widows

[lethal plank]

Ez clap

[slim summit]

4:30 on point B

fuuuuuuck

[pearl stratus]

Philly has to commit both dps, constantly, to stopping him. That's the problem.

[vestal berry]

they used both support ults

[coarse willow]

thats a geegee

[pearl stratus]

Carpe is playing tired, from what it looks like.

[regal stratus]

Super on doomfist? The fuck is going on in this match? I HAVE to check out the VOD after work haha

[hearty sentinel]

This is not good

[pallid cargo]

super is not on DF

[hearty sentinel]

He was just trolling in spawn

[pearl stratus]

ThatsRoadhog, you racist.

[stable wadi]

@regal stratus He's not on Doomfist, he only swapped to him to mess around in spawn

[pallid cargo]

he's on hog

[pearl stratus]

Just because its dark doesn't mean its Doomfist.

😛

[regal stratus]

Ok haha. Down fall of not watching only being updated by chat hahaha

[slim summit]

GG it's over

[coarse willow]

geeg

[stable wadi]

well

[hot compass]

[stable wadi]

[vestal berry]

[slate wraith]

[vagrant niche]

[brisk roost]

WOW

[brisk roost]

Philly got tilted

[lethal plank]

Lololllolollol

[brisk roost]

Sad

[warped axle]

Whatever, SFS still aren't good

[hearty sentinel]

I think this is a clear example of Philly being tired

[stable wadi]

They tilted so hard

[hollow current]

time to shock the world, i guess

[minor flame]

Remember when I said Philly was arguably one of the best teams

What the fuck

[empty stone]

"rEvErsE swEEp"

[warped axle]

They are

[brisk roost]

@lethal plank Lmaobe quiet dude

[warped axle]

Nothing has changed

[slate wraith]

every team has slumps

[hot compass]

SHOCK THE SYSTEM

[slate wraith]

they'll be back

[summer tangle]

Shock is top 2 teams in the league

[warped axle]

Shock ate still bad Philly are still good

[minor flame]

Im both disappointed in philly and proud of Shock

[summer tangle]

LUL

[hearty sentinel]

I'm going to have mute the stream while the desk is analyzing this I can't watch

[brisk roost]

Tbf

[vestal berry]

shkshskshsk

[hollow current]

architech didnt say anything

[brisk roost]

Philly prepped more for NYXL

[hollow current]

hm

[brisk roost]

And they have a match the next day

The very next day

[pearl stratus]

Architect didn't need too.

[brisk roost]

Didn't even get a prep time

[pearl stratus]

Architect sees head, he clicks head.

[hearty sentinel]

Literally the first match on the very next day

[pearl stratus]

Ez.

[hollow current]

i mean as a widow you should be calling out your kills

[vestal berry]

whats nexr?

next*

[hearty sentinel]

SHD v. FL

[pearl stratus]

I mean you can only say Boombox so many times

Before it gets boring.

[coarse willow]

xddd

[vestal berry]

SHANGHAI BBY

PLEASE

[stable wadi]

Have faith

[lethal plank]

Prep time? Stage one London had no prep time for the stage playoffs and they still won. Prep time is just an excuse for you philly fans

[stable wadi]

This time we will see the shanghai spirit bomb

[regal stratus]

Gg shock

[hot compass]

shang my hai

[coarse willow]

did yall se what xQc said about the shanghai mayhem game?

[stable wadi]

musicsoccer (PS4) - Today at 7:47 PM
Prep time is just an excuse for you philly fans

I think most of the Philly fans in this chat have been pretty clear that they've been tilting

prep time is what Shock people have been saying as far as I've seen

[vestal berry]

what is shadowburn used for since eqo is the new genji of the team?

[warped axle]

Fatigue

[pearl stratus]

Prep time is real, fatigue is real.

[minor flame]

Backup

for whenever Eqo mocks koreans again

[pearl stratus]

With two games a week, especially back to back, you pick one game to prep for and hope you get map overlap.

[coarse willow]

xQc said if shanghai lose this one hes gonna buy a shanghai jersey that has 0-40 written on the back and wear it for a week straight

[brisk roost]

LOL

[stable wadi]

Well xQc is an asshole so

[warped axle]

SDB has to keep the bench warm

[lethal plank]

Lolol

Good Florida

I wanna see that

[coarse willow]

he also said he was cheering for shanghai

thats just how confident he is in them

[warped axle]

xQc is a jerk

[vagrant niche]

xQc is a huge Geguri fan

[stable wadi]

Wait

[vagrant niche]

that boi loves her

[minor flame]

xQc makes me question humanity

[stable wadi]

xQc is actually doing a non-asshole thing?

you srs?

[coarse willow]

he said he loves geguri

WTF WHO IS THIS

[stable wadi]

I'm not sure how I feel about this but

[minor flame]

Geguri has been learning xqc chat

[coarse willow]

HE HASNT HIT PUBERTY

[regal stratus]

Is it the Shanghai game now boys/

?

[stable wadi]

Yeah it's Shanghai

well,

it's in-between

but Shanghai is next

[coarse willow]

mayhem is winning

[hot compass]

get this man testosterone

[coarse willow]

they look really good they have just been playing good teams

[vestal berry]

I got a feeling for shanghai today

[regal stratus]

GO SHANGHAI

[brisk roost]

CMON SHANGHAI

[vestal berry]

this is gonna be at least close

[minor flame]

If it isnt Shanghai now

its Fuel

[regal stratus]

Mayhem has gotten a lot better since stage one that’s for sure

[warped axle]

Super is a Philly betrayer

[coarse willow]

i think shanghai can only beat fuel

no way they beat mayhem

[hot compass]

gotta ask, what is with the support for shanghai?

[stable wadi]

EVIL - Today at 7:51 PM
gotta ask, what is with the support for shanghai?

They're the ultimate underdogs

[vagrant niche]

@regal stratus preach it boi

[stable wadi]

They've never won a series.

[hot compass]

interesting

[stable wadi]

Everyone wants to see them win and they have a fair bit of untapped talent that gets dragged down by silly mistakes.

[minor flame]

The bois have been grinding for over 15 hours a day

[warped axle]

Geguri

[hot compass]

looks like im rooting for them then

[minor flame]

we been givin em a feelsbadman

[vagrant niche]

But Mayhem are underdogs too

[warped axle]

Everyone likes Geguri

[vagrant niche]

why can't they get support?

[coarse willow]

yea mayhem is looking better each week they are just playing good teams and losing

[vestal berry]

Y'know, if shanghai wins, they are gonna have the most expressive victory faces

[vagrant niche]

like shangai?

[warped axle]

Mayhem have won before

[coarse willow]

im cheering mayhem this game

[vagrant niche]

so? but they are still underdogs

and they are getting better

[stable wadi]

They're still underdogs but Shanghai are like

The Ultimate Underdogs

[coarse willow]

they are geting wayy better

[vestal berry]

imagine losing 26 times in a row with 100000 people watching each time

[stable wadi]

^

[coarse willow]

and i think theyll show it this game

[vagrant niche]

please, sounds like pity support

[minor flame]

Dont even imagine

[vagrant niche]

rather than underdog

support

[regal stratus]

I hope Dallas is Shanghais first win, not mayhem. Florida deserves some recognition as well.

[minor flame]

Because

[coarse willow]

every shanghai fan is pity support

[stable wadi]

Of course it's pity support, but that's still support

Don't be salty

[vestal berry]

it is pity support

[minor flame]

that happens to them

[vestal berry]

we still want them to win

[stable wadi]

^

[vestal berry]

does it matter?

[stable wadi]

Honestly I want more than one win for them though

[minor flame]

It may be pity support but the support is probably bigger than a lot of top tier teams

[stable wadi]

I wanna see them make top 5 at the very least

[hearty sentinel]

One of these two teams is picking up their first win this stage today 😛

[vagrant niche]

ok lets go make predictions bois!!!

[vestal berry]

top 5 aint happening but not bottom

[median saddle]

did Shock win?

[regal stratus]

No haha it does not

[hearty sentinel]

yes

[stable wadi]

I mean it won't happen this season but

I have faith

[vagrant niche]

3 - 2

[coarse willow]

i honestly want shanghai to lose just so they can be remembered as the team that lost all their games and then they come back next season and fuck everyone up

3-1

[stable wadi]

My dream scenario for Shanghai is for them to just go full Rocky

Come back and take top spot

[coarse willow]

but thats not possible this season

[silk linden]

and I want a big tiddy goth gf

[stable wadi]

I mean of course not

But I still want them to win this game

[coarse willow]

they could win all the rest of their games this season and not be top 6

[ruby pendant]

Real Shock!

[stable wadi]

Veex - Today at 7:55 PM
and I want a big tiddy goth gf

your shit taste has been noted

[ruby pendant]

Dragons about to win next game

[coarse willow]

[pallid cargo]

he's an entertainer, not a professional

[coarse willow]

yea

hes not very good at proffessionaling

[pallid cargo]

he's funny

[stable wadi]

quality geguri sign

[warped axle]

xQc is the Pewdiepie of Overwatch

[pallid cargo]

^^^

[pearl stratus]

Oh gross. Another 100 tokens.

[vagrant niche]

Dafran is entertaining

[pearl stratus]

I need to log out of my bnet.

[coarse willow]

oh fuck you

[pearl stratus]

These notiications are annoting.

[coarse willow]

wtf

[stable wadi]

Meanwhile I still haven't gotten a single fucking token

[coarse willow]

why dont i get tokens

im triggered

[stable wadi]

^^^^^

[regal stratus]

Gonna keep me updated on the dragons v mayhem guys?

[stable wadi]

same

[hearty sentinel]

Have you linked your bnet to your twitch?

[pallid cargo]

I would love to see xqc cast an OWL match

[coarse willow]

yea

[pearl stratus]

That extra 100 puts me up to 572.

[pallid cargo]

but it'll never happen :(

[coarse willow]

ive gotten like 50 total

this whole season

[vagrant niche]

is it this?

[stable wadi]

Apparently you don't even need to link your b.net to twitch

[vagrant niche]

http://puu.sh/A7n24/9ee7ff5579.png

[stable wadi]

A friend of mine doesn't have a twitch and he still gets tokens

[vagrant niche]

cause i didn't got anything

[stable wadi]

I don't

[regal stratus]

XQC should cast hahaha best idea I’ve heard all day

[vagrant niche]

but they sent me the email yesterday

[pearl stratus]

No, this one was dated for now.

[vestal berry]

they gotta keep geguri and get rid of freefeel

[pearl stratus]

I have that email too.

[pallid cargo]

I don't think he should cast but it'd be amazing as a one-off

[vestal berry]

i mean freefeed

[pearl stratus]

From the 19th

[stable wadi]

Honestly Freefeel is still better than Sky

[coarse willow]

yea sometimes i get tokens after the stream is over

[stable wadi]

And he makes some great plays when he's actually like, paying attention

[coarse willow]

its weird

[stable wadi]

He just needs to coordinate and he'll be a great Zen

[vestal berry]

he makes good individual plays occassionaly, but he is super inconsistent

the camera man just focuses on the action

[regal stratus]

@pallid cargo fair enough lol. It would be a funny cameo. OWL would never let it happen tho

[coarse willow]

i cant wait for seoul game

im hyped

[vestal berry]

and freefeel is on the otherside of the screen most of the time

[vagrant niche]

guys more predictions

[pearl stratus]

Best cameo for OWL

[vagrant niche]

who is going to win?

[pearl stratus]

Would be bringing in Terry Crews to sit on the desk.

[stable wadi]

rdr - Today at 8:00 PM
and freefeel is on the otherside of the screen most of the time

This is his biggest problem

It's a problem with Fiveking sometimes too

[coarse willow]

3-1
