[heady idol]

aww yeah

[pearl stratus]

@heady idol He literally only really plays Zarya super well, so Houston only used him on King's Row that stage.

He's seen no other real playtime anywhere else.

Which is why most people forget about him lol

[stoic anchor]

Lmao Shanghai

[limber pine]

Shanghai doesn't play London this stage

so maybe they can win against Florida

[pearl stratus]

As long as they figure out who's playing Brig and adapt some they should be fine.

They didn't even get outskilled against Dallas, just out comped. Which is more sad.

[boreal mango]

.

[tight vault]

Shanghai will beat Boston

[verbal roost]

the standings look a little broken 😦

poor punching bag team T_T

[warped axle]

3 way tie for 4th

[limber umbra]

yes, SHD members are mechanically great, but teamplay and comp choices were questionable at best

esp their game vs DF, they deserved that loss

i think freefeel could play their baguette as he's the shotcaller

[warped axle]

Freefeed

[tight zephyr]

anyone going to grand finals?

[torpid charm]

I'm trying

[azure harbor]

Dallas

[azure harbor]

[drowsy fulcrum]

[acoustic vortex]

"can't skip prom if you weren't invited"

Twitch chat great as always

[drowsy fulcrum]

twitch chat

"great"

🤔

[warped axle]

[acoustic vortex]

Twitch chat embodies the best and worst things about gaming simultaneously

[silk linden]

fuckgin hell the "give [hero] [ability]" signs are still going

they suck so bad

[rapid bobcat]

Yes

[warped axle]

haHAA

[rapid bobcat]

I SKIPPED PROM FOR OWL

[acoustic vortex]

Cringey characters attract cringey fans

[rapid bobcat]

LUUUULLL

[drowsy fulcrum]

dallas gonna die ngl

[azure harbor]

[rapid bobcat]

My dad on a what?

[silk linden]

what

[azure harbor]

magic

[silk linden]

how did he do that

[rapid bobcat]

Chipsajen

[vagrant niche]

OLDMOU PLEASE

[rapid bobcat]

Chipshajen

[bitter phoenix]

DF can win if they make lag play their game, sadly I don't see that happening

[acoustic vortex]

Fuckin hell those birthing hips

[drowsy fulcrum]

I like the breast cancer ribbons

that's cool

[rapid bobcat]

Me 3

[drowsy fulcrum]

also I missed the midseason

any major trades?

[silk linden]

no trades after stage 3

not allowed

[drowsy fulcrum]

any pickups?

[acoustic vortex]

Why now and not October though, it's not breast cancer awareness month 🤔

[silk linden]

the rosters are locked by stage 3

no pickups either

[drowsy fulcrum]

aw man

poor rascal

[silk linden]

yeh

and london could have used him too

[drowsy fulcrum]

believe me

I know

[azure harbor]

[pearl stratus]

Taimou staying on McCree in a Widow duel.

IQ900 play.

[silk linden]

it's what the casters said: it's the hero he can play

[azure harbor]

0-4 incoming

[pearl stratus]

Diya taking away his Widow confidence.

It's interesting to watch Dallas make the same mistakes that Shanghai made against them.

[vagrant niche]

[pearl stratus]

"We're being out comped. Do we switch?"

"No."

[serene tendon]

uphill junkrat

[balmy wolf]

NotLikeFuel

[acoustic vortex]

Why the mccree tho

[pearl stratus]

Taimou is basically a two trick at this point.

McCree and Widow, neither of them amazingly.

He probably still has the hog, but hog now is kind of whatever.

[bitter phoenix]

His cree isn't bad

[pearl stratus]

It's okay, its not amazing its not bad.

[bitter phoenix]

But he was playing cree into a widow

Which is like monkey into a brig

It's just not smart

[pearl stratus]

I wish they had a little bar for Zarya charge in the UI as well.

Like maybe an energy one below the health/shields.

[azure harbor]

[pearl stratus]

Hm. Grav into Tire coming up?

[bitter phoenix]

They should of swapped to a widow and maybe a zarya and pushed in and Gravd for the first point

[azure harbor]

[bitter phoenix]

But I'm not in owl for a reason

Soo

[pearl stratus]

Silk grav'd a little too early lol\

Junk was moving to set up on the other side.

[bitter phoenix]

I'm not watching currently

[azure harbor]

Dallas wouldn't be in OWL if you could lost the spot

[pearl stratus]

Still worked out though

[bitter phoenix]

I was talking about when dallas was on attack

[pearl stratus]

I don't think Taimou is comfortable on Widow at all now.

[nova pelican]

rip dallas

[pearl stratus]

He's not won widow duels against a single person that I can think of.

I'd argue he's probably the worst widow in the league right now, or close to it.

[bitter phoenix]

Dallas won't get kicked even if they could they have a few big named players and they've won matches

[rustic perch]

was the event reveal stuff today or tomorrow?

[silk linden]

are unkoe and akm available?

[vagrant niche]

OLDMOU is BACK!!!

[silk linden]

you know I'm not one of those who like to bash on semmler, but he does come off as ignorant sometimes

like he was surprised a brigitte used ult outside of a fight

do you even play ow

or is he playing dumb that much just to set up hex

[ruby pendant]

wow

[drowsy fulcrum]

are they on the hanzo patch btw?

[silk linden]

nope

[ruby pendant]

no

[drowsy fulcrum]

oof

FUCK OFF WITH THIS SHITTY CASTING

[silk linden]

hex has a point though, brigitte could legit be considered any of dps, tank or support

[solid canyon]

how much armor does brigita's alt give again?

C9!!!

[drowsy fulcrum]

talking about ignoring plays to make rick and morty jokes

[solid canyon]

both team lul

[silk linden]

C9?

[ruby pendant]

Mercy forced the res

[drowsy fulcrum]

if any team wins is a C9

everyone knows this

[silk linden]

ah yeah right

[ruby pendant]

Would have been able to delay the game if they regrouped

[silk linden]

"TEAM KILL"
"lmaoooo they C9!"

[drowsy fulcrum]

one player booped off point

lmaoooooooooooooooooooooo cee nine

[versed crystal]

RIP DALLAS

FREE EFFECT

[solid canyon]

bring back XQC???

pls??

BTW, did they band hanzo?

*banned

[median saddle]

new hanzo isn't on this patch

[silk linden]

they wouldn't ban heroes

[solid canyon]

oh..

[silk linden]

since it's the official league

[solid canyon]

that shield bash though

[silk linden]

they'd rather leave broken heroes in than admit they're broken, like they did in stage 1 with mercy

[solid canyon]

this patch is actually very hard to play any tank...

both storm arrow and shield bash

[drowsy fulcrum]

oh ok

[final river]

Reinhardt is like walking around inside a pinball machine

[median saddle]

the problem that there isn't any main tank that's like rein

[solid canyon]

i mean if u bait out the shield bash is ok.....

[median saddle]

Orisa is immobile and Winston sucks against Brigitte

[solid canyon]

but then there is the fking storm arrow...

[final river]

lul this ad

[drowsy fulcrum]

car addd

[median saddle]

Brigitte isn't killing dive, but Hanzo in a combination with her is

[final river]

brb getting a spacious toyota

[solid canyon]

such space... so much wow

[quasi stump]

anyone know what this song is that's playing?

[rapid bobcat]

Hex getting trashed by uber yes

[median saddle]

the song is Fuel's funeral music

[rapid bobcat]

AngelThump

[quasi stump]

rofl

[raven badger]

lol? don't play mei in ranked and plat hanzos should stop

[tawny sigil]

whats with everyone and the prom signs

[opaque cargo]

heh

I drop in and immediately see a replay of glad running brigball properly and dallas not running brigball properly

that's about what I expected

[median saddle]

how does fissure always pull it off

[versed crystal]

GO DALLS

[drowsy fulcrum]

@raven badger worst casters known to mankind

[opaque cargo]

that was a good high five

[drowsy fulcrum]

did

did these shit casters

fucking banter

for so long

that they didn't start with the game

[opaque cargo]

mhm

[drowsy fulcrum]

they get paid to do this

[opaque cargo]

fuel should not have rallied before the grav

you rally before grav you waste it, lot of time to spare

they could have got a lot more value

[final river]

what a demoralizing round, Fuel had that

[stuck agate]

rip fuel

[opaque cargo]

I really think that rally hurt them severely

way premature

[drowsy fulcrum]

brig ett

why can't people pronounce brigitte

[ruby pendant]

lol

[final river]

have you met my two kids, Brig and Brigette?

[ruby pendant]

Fuel gave up

[drowsy fulcrum]

brig it

[final river]

id like to hear the coms and see if morale changes through out the match

[ruby pendant]

nice

[heady idol]

how close was game 2

I went for dinner

[median saddle]

not close

[final river]

3-2 on Hanamura right

[heady idol]

danke

[final river]

big time difference though

[median saddle]

Dallas got two points but it took them a while

glads simply capped a lot faster

[opaque cargo]

SEAGUUUUUUUUUUULL

[final river]

glimmer of hope boys

[heady idol]

how did biggoose live that long

lol

[versed crystal]

YEEE

GO DALLAS

[opaque cargo]

sketchy airshots a bit there, but he took a deep breath and got the job done

honestly I like their choice of AKM on zarya, 76 and zarya have similar tracking styles in that you need a sustained smooth follow

[final river]

big oof for that Zen

[opaque cargo]

fuel are getting dissolved

[versed crystal]

Fuel's flame are get blew up

blown*

[heady idol]

brig-eet

[marsh pumice]

how is dallas doing?

[median saddle]

ok

[final river]

they need this round for a possible reverse sweep

[marsh pumice]

cool

[median saddle]

they're doing fine

[heady idol]

BM grav?

[versed crystal]

NOOO

[median saddle]

S4 just demolished fuel right there

[azure harbor]

[final river]

riparoni

[stuck agate]

oof

[opaque cargo]

fuel lacked cohesion

they kinda trickled for most of the match

I think mickie is actually a strictly okay brigitte, and SHD just made him look really good because they ran full dive into him

[versed crystal]

i don't understand

[marsh pumice]

this meta is kinda hard for some teams seems

[versed crystal]

it just said i got 84 drops from OWL

but i didn't get 84 tokens in game

[opaque cargo]

how many did you get

[versed crystal]

84

84 drops

[opaque cargo]

no, the tokens in game

[versed crystal]

9

this is a glitch??

[opaque cargo]

had you earned tokens previously, before those 84

[versed crystal]

yeah

[opaque cargo]

I'm guessing you earned a bunch of tokens, got a skin, and then didn't check your token count in the notifications

it persists even when you've already spent them

[versed crystal]

i didn't get 100

tokens

i don't have a OWL skin

[opaque cargo]

hm

that does seem a bit flaky then

not sure what the deal is, you may want to contact support just in case

[versed crystal]

k

[opaque cargo]

ugh, dallas halfassing brigball again

at least the slam helps

OH SHIT NA BLADE

hell, they could probably do better with taimou on moira

they don't have nearly enough healing

[median saddle]

seagull 1v11

it's ridiculous

[opaque cargo]

^ seriously

[heady idol]

I felt like OGE was decent this round, some good shatters

[opaque cargo]

yeah is tru, but the team at large is a clusterflop

[median saddle]

what team can use seagull to the highest level

don't all teams have a hitscan specialist

or projectile

[opaque cargo]

hell they could have put harryhook on moira

[heady idol]

Sombra

[opaque cargo]

a mercy and a zen does not suit two tanks

[heady idol]

people forgot sym's name

[opaque cargo]

quick play out this bitch

[median saddle]

moira is good in a deathball comp

but you give up either mercy or zen

[opaque cargo]

2 alive tanks > 1 dead tank and 1 back to life tank

if they were running dive I think they could get away with it but rein needs more beef behind his HP

[median saddle]

so moira zen then

[opaque cargo]

zen is good w/ brigitte when you hit that MF rally and is good for keeping DPS or moira alive while moira focuses on tanks

[median saddle]

they solo shattered fissure

lol

[spring lintel]

Still don’t know how junkrat ult is still in game

[opaque cargo]

Junk ult got a notable speed nerf, it's been repeatedly shot down in OWL

plus a projectile size decrease

[spring lintel]

Not really

Still op as fuck

And dumb

It’s op on most maps

[ruby pendant]

These tire plays are hilarious. Do so much work for little damage.

[opaque cargo]

It's a bit dumb but it's at least counterable

[spring lintel]

The maps u can easily shoot it are not much

It’s not counterable

First point dorado

How do u counter that?

[opaque cargo]

I saw a tire get shot down on king's row from around the corner, a rein fire-striked it

[spring lintel]

It’s so closed in

U can fly everywhere

[ruby pendant]

You can always hit the tire

[heady idol]

that's not what glaciers do

[opaque cargo]

I don't remember which rein

[heady idol]

not in the slighest

[ruby pendant]

not that much hp

Don't think it's that hard

[spring lintel]

I wonder why these pros can’t do it consistently

They must be bad

[ruby pendant]

no one said so

[opaque cargo]

I think it was glad vs. someone, and they were consistently obliterating tires

like out of 5 tires, only one found purchase

[spring lintel]

I just saw 3 tires connect in 1 minute

[heady idol]

LMAO

[median saddle]

fissure does it again

[opaque cargo]

Glad are running full brigball now

...WHAAAAAAAAAAAtaimou went tracer

[spring lintel]

Tracer

Lmao

[final river]

big feelsbadman

[opaque cargo]

4-0verwatch

[spring lintel]

They lost with 4 ults

Heals + armor

[median saddle]

who is better than fissure?

nobody

[opaque cargo]

xQc could give him a run for his money back in the day... but that was a long time and a lot of fines ago

[final river]

oh good i can't use the pepe emote in twitch chat anymore

[vagrant fossil]

rip handshakes?

[ruby pendant]

Fuel need Malik on the team!

[royal acorn]

0-4 What a surpirse

[onyx shore]

did fissure shake hands with oge?

[royal acorn]

no u

WALLCOME BACK

[heady idol]

Bree-Gee-Tuh

[raven badger]

none of the players prounouncing brigitte correctly

[royal acorn]

If you buy the all-accesses pass It's nice to chat in the twitch chat #all-access channel

[warped axle]

Brig it eh

[sullen berry]

Hydration is tall

[warped axle]

Like how Reinforce pronounces it

[sullen berry]

Or I didn't expect soe to be that short

[heady idol]

man

I love Zarya+Pharah teamwork

[sullen berry]

Brigeetuh makes sense when you're not into linguistics

[minor flame]

reinforce gets turned on by rein charges the segment

[quasi stump]

did they announced PotM?

[minor flame]

i think so

i think it was hydration

[quasi stump]

I missed it D:

[minor flame]

oh

[quasi stump]

oh here it is

[minor flame]

nvm

[stuck agate]

HERE WE GO HERE WE GO

[sullen berry]

Rainbow would be more accurate if the reinlights include him fling over team fights

[warped axle]

[stuck agate]

predictions anyone?

[warped axle]

houston wins game 5

[heady idol]

Houston will 3-1

[fiery reef]

I hope Houston wins this. I wanna see them make it top 3 for Grand finals

[minor flame]

Live footage of Fissure annihilating enemy boosters of Korea

[vagrant fossil]

damn so they did shake hands?

[minor flame]

Yeah

They made up a while ago

[vagrant fossil]

THE THOUSAND YEAR WAR HAS ENDED

[heady idol]

holy crap Zoe is tiny

Zoe and Reinforce
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DUiItBiV4AEo-vn.jpg

[brisk roost]

Reinforce is that tall prob

Like 6'4 6'5 I'm guessing

[vagrant fossil]

pic of hamster eating banana

[heady idol]

yeah probbaly ,it's a mix of the two but that's wow

[sullen berry]

It won't go to game 5

[vagrant fossil]

mfw i hit a fat shatter

[spring lintel]

LMAAAO

Good one

Fuck

[opaque cargo]

I honestly don't know who's gonna win this, there's been some really good pharah work from boston

[sullen berry]

Depends on how critical their play was from the fusion game yesterday

[spring lintel]

Houston gonna roll them

If they played like yesterday

[sullen berry]

They didn't look in quite the same shape as the playoffs

[brisk roost]

Houston is the first non KR team to 4-0 a full KR team

[sullen berry]

Because they definitely wanted that stage title win

[spring lintel]

Is Houston fully not Kr?

[brisk roost]

Since ArHan is not here yet then yes

[spring lintel]

Probably the best Western team

[sullen berry]

Arhan is not being played, but the team is technically a western team

[spring lintel]

Actually they are

[warped axle]

Most handsome, best tank. Who is better than Reinforce?

[spring lintel]

Arhan shouldnt play

[warped axle]

Fissure

[spring lintel]

Why

[sullen berry]

Don't forget spree and linkzr

[heady idol]

oh god

[spring lintel]

Why did they get arha

[forest wharf]

Oh god the screechers

[heady idol]

the reeeee's

[spring lintel]

Jake imo, improved immensely.

He fills his role perfectly

[fiery reef]

"And I'm sure you guys know, you might wanna turn your headphones down a bit because that annoying cun..... I mean houston outlaws fans are here tonight!"

[sullen berry]

I am doubtful the best Western isn't not Valiant

[spring lintel]

Valiant isnt western

[fiery reef]

Its definitely not no that the valiant isn't not the best team

[spring lintel]

I think

[warped axle]

Best western team is disputed

[fiery reef]

Outlaws > Boston

[sullen berry]

You'd never won't not ever assume that valiant couldn't become a majority western stacked team like Outlaws

[warped axle]

Depends on how you define it first

Is Boston Western?

[sullen berry]

Is fuel even American

[fiery reef]

"Western" aka .. all teams that aren't London, Seoul and SHD xD?

[sullen berry]

You can't argue either side unless you throw a bias or a affordance to what defines an American team

[fiery reef]

I dont think any team is "western" through and through. Though some teams are Korean through and through.

[opaque cargo]

boston 0% on hanamura wow

[warped axle]

Houston is pretty much an American team

[sullen berry]

Lol

[warped axle]

LinkZR being an honorary American

[opaque cargo]

Boston gonna hit the reverse sweep [intense dabbing]

[fiery reef]

yeah.. no

[sullen berry]

MonkaS

[minor flame]

AimGod

confirmed to get all headshots on valkyrie mode

By 3 hours youll see

[fiery reef]

I'm highly anticipating a 4-0 from Houston

[minor flame]

AimGod Mercy 4k

[warped axle]

Taking out Neko is bad news

[fiery reef]

Don't worry after they get Crushed game 1 ... they will bring him back

[opaque cargo]

"Muma's brigitte is a gimmick" hoo boy now he's done it

[warped axle]

He's easily the #2 or #3 Zen

[fiery reef]

Their one saving grace is if Note makes it in and does some nuts plays

[heady idol]

mistake's looks so happy just to be there

big smile

[warped axle]

AimGod's hairline

[fiery reef]

that bowlcut

[warped axle]

That's what I call a straight line

[heady idol]

ooh

[warped axle]

No high fives

[heady idol]

what is with the hands

[spring lintel]

Neko was trash yesterday

[fiery reef]

Texas had another shooting today so..

[minor flame]

oh shit

[warped axle]

Oh nice

[fiery reef]

makes sense

[minor flame]

yeah

[heady idol]

oh right

[spring lintel]

Misses shots on stationary targets yesterday

[marsh pumice]

what? outlaws so rude, what happened?

[balmy wolf]

Texas school shooting

[fiery reef]

People died @marsh pumice

[raven badger]

there was a school shooting in texas

[marsh pumice]

oh

sorry

[raven badger]

rude? wow

[warped axle]

They even turned off the music

[balmy wolf]

Florida did the same thing

[fiery reef]

9 students and a teacher + 10 injured I believe

[balmy wolf]

When florida shooting happened

[minor flame]

what made houston very likeable besides linkzr godlike widow overall?

[marsh pumice]

i mean they weren't shacking hands and sorry im from Portugal but already saw the news but didn't even cross my mind, sorry about that

[heady idol]

NA players?

[minor flame]

cause it seems like they have alot of fans

fucking

banshee fans

[raven badger]

a "moment of silence" is never seen as "rude"

[heady idol]

he just forgot about it

[warped axle]

Kick this chick out

Smh

[fiery reef]

@marsh pumice no worries, it didn't trigger with me right away either. I was confused at first then I remembered

[vagrant fossil]

is that a new pic of jake?

[marsh pumice]

👍

[balmy wolf]

Aaaaand of course twitch chat is spamming KKona smh

[warped axle]

Jake made a haHAA smile

[balmy wolf]

yaaay uberx

[fiery reef]

If LinkZR keeps up like he did yesterday ... this is just a done game.

[heady idol]

MESS WITH JEFF

[minor flame]

the grav

[fiery reef]

Great grav. To bad your team can't stay alive.

[heady idol]

wow that was a fast grav

[marsh pumice]

wow linkzr

[minor flame]

seemed like they bet on the surprise

[heady idol]

but a good answer

[minor flame]

instead of the followup

[marsh pumice]

omg

[fiery reef]

I think LInkZR might be the best widow in the league right now ... Even Fleta isn't playing this well.

[heady idol]

damn

how fucking scary would it be to have to widow against him

[marsh pumice]

yeh linkzr is on top of the game now

[fiery reef]

I believe they said hes the best Counter Widow in the game ... but I think its more than that.

[modest nymph]

jesus that 3k from linkzr earlier

[fiery reef]

Like Fleta is scary when he pops off ... but like LinkZR is ALWAYS popping off.

[modest nymph]

linkzr is just consistent all game

[marsh pumice]

yeh fleta as build a name around widow and it's scary indeed

[modest nymph]

jesus

[marsh pumice]

omg linkzr fak me

i mean not really

[balmy wolf]

Linkzr marry me

[heady idol]

this is actually disgusting

[marsh pumice]

but he is on fire

[lethal plank]

I sometimes see people say KyKy effect, is that a good effect or bad one lol

[heady idol]

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee

[fiery reef]

Oh man.. I told you guys Boston would get Crushed on this map. I am willing to bet they take Aimgod out after this match or the 2nd one ... Not because its his fault .. but if they want to win.. they need Neko

[modest nymph]

What other team has fangirls like this jesus lol

[red canyon]

jfc jiri poppin off

[heady idol]

Seoul has a few

[lethal plank]

Fuck Seoul

[fiery reef]

Even SHD would have played better right now.

[marsh pumice]

KyKy seems to be doing a good job on Outlaws

[fiery reef]

Diya has been really really kicking it up as Widow

[vagrant fossil]

wtf i go get a snack and its done

[red canyon]

diya is awesome

[heady idol]

lmao

[marsh pumice]

to soon tho

[fiery reef]

Boston "Wait, I got a snack and its already over" Uprising

[marsh pumice]

don't get snakcs

[red canyon]

triple healer

[lethal plank]

Baguette isn't a healer

She's an off tank

[red canyon]

😄

[marsh pumice]

baguette is broken asf

[fiery reef]

Shes a Doffenakupport

[indigo barn]

Linkzr is best torbjorn in game confirmed

[marsh pumice]

wait until new hanzo hit the league

then all hell gets lose

[fiery reef]

Well new hanzo is already getting nerfs

[heady idol]

poor jake

[fiery reef]

so by the time he makes it to live he will be nerfed a few more times I think

[lethal plank]

Wait for new hero

Jeff is new hero

[heady idol]

wow

they are going ham

[fiery reef]

Queen of Junkertown is my guess .. or Hammond for new hero ... I think it will be a tank next

[lethal plank]

Anti Baguette hero

[marsh pumice]

no please no

[heady idol]

I hope it's Junkerqueen

[lethal plank]

Z9

[vagrant fossil]

rip aimgod

[fiery reef]

Not his fault

If you can't contain linkzr ... just accept defeat

[marsh pumice]

if they keep making heroes to fix the broken stuff then it will get moar broken

[lethal plank]

As a fuel fan that doesn't like Houston, today is another sad day

[opaque cargo]

become an SHD fan and you'll never have to worry about your team ceasing to be the underdog

[fiery reef]

A fuel fan ... damn sorry for your loss. Hope you pick a better team in your second life

[vagrant fossil]

i like both teams but i REALLY like boston so this is still p sad

i dont wanna see these guys slip in stage 4

[marsh pumice]

of this two i prefer boston too

[lethal plank]

Depends on what new teams arrive in season 2

[heady idol]

linkzer 18-0

thats sexy

[marsh pumice]

careizy

[lethal plank]

If Japan or Detroit then I'll be jumping ship

[minor flame]

lmao

[fiery reef]

SHD, NYXL, and Houston are my 3 teams I follow. London has best jersey color though.

[heady idol]

new song?

[fiery reef]

Why Japan or Detroit?

[minor flame]

this song has been in since like stage forever i think

[lethal plank]

From Detroit and living and working in Tokyo

[heady idol]

poor aimgod

5-7

first showing

[opaque cargo]

5/7

hah

[marsh pumice]

not really a aimgod

[vagrant fossil]

his name is gonna get memed into oblivion

[marsh pumice]

hahaha

[lethal plank]

I pray for a Tokyo team so I can gp to game watching parties

[fiery reef]

The Detroit foreclosures! coming season 2

[ruby monolith]

mercy .50 kd ratio

[opaque cargo]

I'm waiting for one of the casters to inform aimgod that he has one free battle tag change

[marsh pumice]

i wanna go thai, to meet some thaiboys

just kidding about the thaiboys

but yeh i wanna go thailland

[heady idol]

Bridge-It

[marsh pumice]

kek

baguette is flufly

[lethal plank]

I say bridge it too

[opaque cargo]

THE BEST

THE BEST

[marsh pumice]

i don't like to play with bridge-it

i say it correctly cause i speak french

[fiery reef]

I don't see Japan getting a team only because they don't really follow most America Esports games ... they do Card games and fighting games and Japanese MMO's

[modest nymph]

and DDR

[heady idol]

the amount of Japanese names in Shadowverse

[fiery reef]

Alright boston has a chance.

Note is in

[heady idol]

it's either them or weebs... probably weebs

[marsh pumice]

asian people is sexy

[ruby pendant]

maybe in the future

Depends how marketable Overwatch is

to Japan

[lethal plank]

Fps games are quite popular here with the youngins

[heady idol]

2 Japanese heroes

should sell itself :))

[marsh pumice]

so from now on i predict a big loss for the outlaws

1-3

[fiery reef]

@heady idol yeah but no tentacles.

[lethal plank]

But overwatch not so much. Usually battlefield or rainbow six

[sullen berry]

It's quite simple, really

[marsh pumice]

i mean 3-1 for the boston

[heady idol]

Uh... there is a tentacle monster spray

I guess

[ruby pendant]

@marsh pumice Outlaws 4-0

[marsh pumice]

i play more ow then bf1 and rb6

we shall see @ruby pendant

[lethal plank]

Boston 3-2

Once they sub in dreamkazper

Kappa

[sullen berry]

If the viewership and media attention garnered for OWWC notices that Japan has an organically/unnaturally popular fanbase like Australia does

They might even consider it

[marsh pumice]

world cup this league is kinda a world cup

[heady idol]

HOLY SHIT

EYES OF A HAWK

[sullen berry]

They're going to be a lot stricter avoiding cross culture integration though if a Japanese company sponsor runs a jp-based Tokyo team

[vagrant fossil]

perfect time to switch camera angle

also wtf

[lethal plank]

Wait who is this aimgod zenyatta guy never seen him before

[marsh pumice]

cameras need real players behind

they are awful

[lethal plank]

He plays like a bronze

[opaque cargo]

he's new

[ruby pendant]

lol wow, this whole time, i thought it was the first map

Outlaws already off to a good start!

[marsh pumice]

boston doesn't know how to counter baguette

they need a junk

rat

[opaque cargo]

and Jake actually knows how to play baguette

[marsh pumice]

yep

[heady idol]

1v1 brig as D.Va

[opaque cargo]

no ulting at spawn for this boy

[heady idol]

bronzme plays

[lethal plank]

Jake's an annoyance

[marsh pumice]

good job boston keep it going, it's all wins from now on

[lethal plank]

They have a baguette, let's go tracer... Wtf Boston

[heady idol]

I think Houston is like the anti-r/competitiveoverwatch

they lost their mind at Brig

[ruby pendant]

wow

[opaque cargo]

okay nvm jake is idiot

[heady idol]

2 people can play Brig a high level on Outlaws

also cow hates Jakerat so much

[marsh pumice]

mistakes should had switch to junkrat not mcree

[lethal plank]

He always makes "mistakes"

Badum tss

[fiery reef]

-------> the door is that way

[marsh pumice]

hahah~

[heady idol]

can he play rat?

[opaque cargo]

yeah jake is the best yeet I've seen so far

[marsh pumice]

go

barriguita

[opaque cargo]

he knows that you can use whip shot to hit enemies not directly next to you

[marsh pumice]

mistakes again now on sombra

[lethal plank]

A good sombra can murder baguette

Trihard 7 bastion

[marsh pumice]

hope they hold it all now or it's going to be a win for boston 3-2

boston is going to win the game at the end, not sure by how much

[heady idol]

huh

[marsh pumice]

you will see

[heady idol]

are they running main heals lucio

[lethal plank]

If Houston subs out Jake then Boston will win. I don't think Boston knows how to counter Jake this stage.

[heady idol]

these houston drafts are crazy

[marsh pumice]

good for boston

[heady idol]

nvm

[marsh pumice]

ahhh dam

[opaque cargo]

houston where the brig at

[spring lintel]

stream looks like shit to anyone else?

[lethal plank]

Looks fine here

[red canyon]

same

[lethal plank]

Ggwp

[red canyon]

linkzr potm

[heady idol]

double sniper

LMAO mercy

[red canyon]

👌

[balmy wolf]

Jesus

They're going off

[sweet canopy]

RIP uprising

[balmy wolf]

oof boston

this is houston's meta

[fluid dagger]

Why did blizzard have to nerf Striker 😦

[fiery reef]

No one believes me! Been saying since before this stage started that Houston was going to wreck this stage... Houston is way better than people give them credit for. Stage 1 wasn't luck. They earned that shit.

[red canyon]

i guess having kyky is rly good for them rn?

[heady idol]

Bastion and bridgette high skill play from houston.

God people are so salty

[opaque cargo]

What I want to see is NYXL rolling out bastion unironically to counter brigitte

[lethal plank]

I'm actually shocked I haven't seen bastion baguette Mercy much

[fluid dagger]

bastion kinda got a shadow buff in this meta

i think people are only just realizing he hard counters the rein+brig pretty well

[sweet canopy]

I guess both bruscetta and bastion are weak to explosions?

[lethal plank]

I realized that long ago

[sweet canopy]

Oh gibraltar not looking good for Boston

[ruby pendant]

@marsh pumice 2-0!

haha

[sweet canopy]

20% win rate, and that's not counting Linkzr on a roll

[ruby monolith]

TEXAS BLOCK PARTY WOOOOOOOOO

[heady idol]

I'd go to one. shame I live in the middle of nowhere

[fluid dagger]

I live in Boston, I'm just lazy and don't like human contact

[sweet canopy]

Good time to put bets on Houston victory 20:1

[waxen rampart]

wait is boston shit now???

what's going on????

[fluid dagger]

yeah they're playing weird

[heady idol]

this looks like an OWL team vs solo queue

[fluid dagger]

i think this meta has them on the fritz

[vagrant fossil]

stage 1 boston inc :(((((

[balmy wolf]

Daddy Linkzr

[fluid dagger]

they're also running aimgod who's clearly not quite on the same page yet

[serene tendon]

houston this stage 😩 😩

[waxen rampart]

MISTAKES

LOLOLOL

[serene tendon]

jakes phara is good again

[modest nymph]

yeah the meta and aimgod is not helping right now, they also said that aimgod had only 5 or 6 days to scrim with the team

[fluid dagger]

im surprised they're running him so soon

maybe they figure they have a few games to lose and still stay in the playoffs

want to get him some stage time before then

[modest nymph]

Probably, but surprised they didnt throw him in the first game too

[fluid dagger]

yeah

not sure

maybe they didn't plan to lose to gladiators lol

who knows

[modest nymph]

Guess they thought they'd come back from the stage loss and continue the streak.

[heady idol]

signs of life

[fluid dagger]

Boston does like game 5's....

i swear if we have another like last stage I'm going to be found dead of a heart attack

too much tension \

[modest nymph]

hmm

[balmy wolf]

hmmmmmmmmm

[heady idol]

reverse sweep?!

[keen grotto]

nah

[fluid dagger]

REVERSE SWEEP

[warped axle]

LinkZR got shut down so hard by Aimgod

This Zen is nuts

[keen grotto]

yeah

[brisk roost]

Houston does better at Nepal rather than Oasis

[keen grotto]

linkzr is doing amazing though

[ruby pendant]

thought it was more Uprising's widow

Kept taking out the supports

[vagrant fossil]

ngl i wanna try that

[lethal plank]

btw what's the latest news on dreamkazper? id he in jail or did they figure out that the girls were lying?

[heady idol]

2 parts of exodia

feelsNotWeebman

[balmy wolf]

since boston went 10-0 last stage, will they go 0-10 this stage?

[heady idol]

striker trace ris doing work

[fluid dagger]

brig swap coming in

Boston can't dive 😰

cmon boston, adjust

[balmy wolf]

brig is just too good :(

[heady idol]

I like how triggered people are being forced off tracer

she's not good on every map :(((

[raven badger]

the Tbag

[vagrant fossil]

oh dear

[pearl stratus]

It's a tactical crouch, good sr

Not a tea bag.

[raven badger]

it's called... blizzard censors everything

[balmy wolf]

jake's getting revenge on the tracer players

[raven badger]

did you not see the thread about them banning the word "Trap"

even though JR's ability is literally steel trap or something...

[pearl stratus]

Boston Uprishanghai.

[heady idol]

it's unbanned now

[pearl stratus]

Lets play Dive into Brig.

[fluid dagger]

how the hell is brig strong enough to beat a swinging winston

that's absurd

[pearl stratus]

He got pocketed by Bani

[heady idol]

even casters are like "guys junkrat widow"

[opaque cargo]

winston has 50% dps against brig

[fluid dagger]

yeah boston isn't adjusting

[opaque cargo]

armor HP that replenishes y'know

[pearl stratus]

It was primal rage, not electric.

[forest wharf]

genji vs brigitte

[pearl stratus]

Primal rage only gets the -5 damage from armor.

But between stuns/whips and a mercy pocket you can avoid enough damage.

But his cattle prod you're right.

Flat out half damage.

[forest wharf]

rip win streak

[heady idol]

40 damage per swing as winston. 1.6 swings per second. so going from 64dps to 56dps

[pearl stratus]

Then inspire is 16HP/S

So 40 dps.

And a Mercy healing beam.

In terms of cumulative.

[ruby pendant]

wow

[pearl stratus]

I feel bad for Mistakes.

Because he -HAS- to play Widow.

But he cannot come close to Linkzr right now

[heady idol]

double sniper + coordination is so scary

trigger warning, brig swap

[fluid dagger]

lol

[ruby monolith]

GG

[brisk roost]

GG

[fluid dagger]

im not a huge fan of how brig just makes all hitscan in the game cray worse except widow

[pearl stratus]

Jake fined for too much crouching

[ruby pendant]

wasn't 4-0 but was close enough

[solar trout]

<---Outlaws fan

[heady idol]

112k is pretty nice

[brisk roost]

Is Boston gonna go 0-10 this time or what lmao

[pearl stratus]

In general I don't know what Jake did between Stage 3 and 4.

But most of his heroes look a lot cleaner.

[ruby pendant]

@brisk roost They'll beat Dragons

[solar trout]

Tactical crouches endo

:P

[brisk roost]

I know lol

[opaque cargo]

Uprising will lose to Dragons

They might win against other teams but they'll lose to Dragons

I have a super weird feeling about this

[balmy wolf]

tbh that is pretty likely....seeing as they havent adjusted to brig

[solar trout]

probably just indigestion kusibu

[opaque cargo]

SHD haven't adjusted to brig either

but I have this feeling they'll figure it out in the fight v. uprising

[balmy wolf]

but even then, boston is a strong team
i doubt dragons can win against them

but they do have a better chance than some of the other teams

[opaque cargo]

jake spam vs. soe spam

big rivalry in chat

[pearl stratus]

Jake is the king of PR.

[heady idol]

honsetly, yeah

[pearl stratus]

Clean cut white boy who speaks well.

[heady idol]

teamwork is doing a lot of work for houston right now, their plans are executed really clean

[runic stag]

what a lovely lad

[heady idol]

he has weak knees

has to crouch spam

[ruby pendant]

Freefeel is the face of Overwatch

[heady idol]

[sweet canopy]

He's doing well. Hands behind back to prevent fiddling. Keeps eye contact with interviewer, occasionally glancing away. Even looks into camera occasionally

[pearl stratus]

Also notice how he stopped the gum chewing.

Once people brought it up a bunch.

[sweet canopy]

He used to chew gum in interviews?

[pearl stratus]

He used to ALWAYS chew gum.

It was infuriating.

[heady idol]

SCATTUH

did you just see that

[sweet canopy]

Gotta keep up that IRL APM kappa

[pearl stratus]

I love that chat went into a Jake is thrilled because he's skilled.

Instead of Jake is mad.

[solar trout]

helps that there were signs in the crowd

[pearl stratus]

Yeah

[ruby monolith]

"i skipped prom for OW leage"

[pearl stratus]

Also to be fair Houston spun that so well.

[sweet canopy]

why would chat think jake be mad?

[pearl stratus]

"Oh, you hate Jake?" "Here buy this Jake lul t-shirt."

"Thats right you salty fucks. Give us money."

[solar trout]

Just an xqc meme

[pearl stratus]

I'm assuming it was first game jitters.

But Aimgod wasn't impressive at all compared to Neko.

[ruby pendant]

Aim gonna get benched

[sweet canopy]

Aim was great on Oasis

Countered Linkzr with a zen

[solar trout]

I enjoyed aimgod's plays...

he is more standout than chipshajen

[sweet canopy]

Just needs more practice with scrimming and team coordination

[ruby pendant]

perhaps

[heady idol]

I honestly didn't pay attention to his trans's

[ruby pendant]

Would like for him to stay

[heady idol]

how were they?

[fiery reef]

I mglad its not just SHD who can't adapt to Brig.

[ruby pendant]

decent

Last payload, Zen trans was able to keep Uprising in the game

Just feels like he's overwhelmed

[pearl stratus]

Oh, only 52-19.

Silver SR Linkzr.

[solar trout]

lol "Linkzr isn't the most consistent, but he sure is consistent."

[opaque cargo]

mouth moves faster than mind

[ruby pendant]

Would be great if Dynasty win this game

and turn things around

Tired of these loses!

[fiery reef]

I'd like to see shock win ... but I don't care about either team

Give us a good game 5

[heady idol]

I want seoul to win but ehh I'm worried they're going to throw

[opaque cargo]

I wanna see jehong ana 😦

[ruby pendant]

haha

[pearl stratus]

Jehong is a tank now.

[ruby pendant]

@heady idol been feeling that way for the past few weeks

[pearl stratus]

Sorry.

[fiery reef]

He was doing good his first match as a tank if I recall correctly

[ruby pendant]

@fiery reef nah, quick 4 games

[pearl stratus]

He did good at the end of Stage 3 too.

[solar trout]

Bring back ana/zen jehong :(

[ruby pendant]

5 games too stressful

[fiery reef]

Nah 5 games .. I like the background noise while I play other games lol

[pearl stratus]

You'd have to teach Miro how to tank again.

Cause he flat out forgot.

[heady idol]

the salt on cow sustains me

"They are only doing good because they are the only team that practiced Brig"

"Why didn't other teams practice her then if they are so good"

ayy

[fiery reef]

"Only team" .. uh?

so far a few teams have used her

Mickie or what ever played her pretty well

I just really really hope SHD does something about it. Either plays her .. or develops a better strat to counter her

[heady idol]

yeah glad did good

bischu brig

[pearl stratus]

Pretty much every team has run her.

Minus Shanghai and Boston.

[fiery reef]

Kind of ...

some teams ran her for part of a point on 1 map

I'd hardly count that though

[vagrant fossil]

boston ran her

just not very well rip

[pearl stratus]

I would, point to point hero change is still valid. Especially if it changes how the map is.

[fiery reef]

I mean .. thats like counting Hanzo picks when they walk out shoot his Recon arrow (what ever its called) and switching

[pearl stratus]

Look at like.. Junkertown A. You don't keep the A comp the whole way unless you roll the other team.

Does it mean the Bastion pick or the Hog pick dont' count since you're only using them for A?

[heady idol]

"They ran Genji Tracer, why wouldn't you counter with Bridgette"

"They can if they want to be cheap and run low skill heroes"

ahahahaha

I fucking love this salt

[fiery reef]

ok let me rephrase it ... they pick her, for 1 point, get rolled by enemy team anyway, and switch off

Pretty sure that happened 2-3 times

so she was there, but didn't help

I can't remember which team in particular but I know yesterday, defending point A on Kings row someone played her and they got rolled in like 2mins or less and switched off

[solar trout]

why not put munchkin on zarya

[pearl stratus]

When you have Zunba?

That's like putting Diya on Zarya when you have Geguri.

[solar trout]

ah

[fiery reef]

Except, they do that?

well not Diya

but they've put ADO on Zarya ..

more than once

[pearl stratus]

Yeah, in a meta where you still needed D'va.

All those moments were triple tanks.

[fiery reef]

Right, but why not put your famous Zarya player on Zarya ...

not that she isn't good with Dva .. but

[pearl stratus]

Because in that meta D'va was more important.

By far.

[fiery reef]

clearly ADO probably wasn't good enough on Dva to let him play it

[pearl stratus]

Like by an exponential multiple of a few thousand.

[ruby pendant]

Architect saved them big

Nice rez from Moth too.

[brisk roost]

I want Shock to win this tbh

[steep dragon]

i just want Shanghai Dragons to win 1 match 😃

[sacred cargo]

Whats the deal with Boston

[steep dragon]

i used my free 500 coins on them

[heady idol]

wew

[opaque cargo]

hwat the

why do I have 249 tokens

where did that come from

[balmy wolf]

Uhhhh

What the fuck just happened

[opaque cargo]

I had 48 now I have 249 out of nowhere

[raven badger]

maybe you won the 100 coin lottery

[heady idol]

I think he just omnislashed

[polar pier]

that blade was disgusting.

[balmy wolf]

what do the drops do

new to this game

[heady idol]

you get OWL Tokens. 100 Tokens = Unlocking a skin in your game that matches one of the OWL teams

for example you can buy Houston Mercy color for your use ingame

[balmy wolf]

o

[heady idol]

You get tokens by watching OWL, usually like 1 per game, but sometimes you get random 100 drops. Which means you get a full skin you can unlock

I feel like most teams aren't trying Sombra anymore, but Seoul runs it so much

I know HLC but I thought that died when Sombra stopped getting ult charge with pack healing

WTF FLETA

[visual glen]

Fleta completely carried that

[heady idol]

bench buddies

I gotta stop watching, Seoul just disappoint me

[lethal plank]

lol fletta

honestly i think if they trade fletta they'll get better.

[ruby pendant]

@heady idol lol

[heady idol]

it hurts

I bought into the seoul hype during s1

REinforce is right though

no particular games stood out this week, unless you consider Fusion vs Uprising an upset to their 15-game win streak

[waxen rampart]

that was some good shit

[idle beacon]

that translator is one cool guy 😃

[sullen berry]

I like how patient he can be

[idle beacon]

who?

[sullen berry]

translating as much of soe's roundabout way of asking Architect that last question

they actually mentioned his name too

[idle beacon]

ah the translator

he's really a cool translator

[bitter phoenix]

Who won today?

[sullen berry]

a shame he was so exhausted at the end of stage 3, he couldn't really translate much at the team AMA

lol

isn't popeye's chicken only?

or mostly?

is the translator a player aswell?

[sullen berry]

[idle beacon]

or why was he exhausted? 😮

[sullen berry]

well

at the end of every NYXL victory

keep in mind

they haven't lost a game in a while

he has to always dyamically listen to every word in english and translate it to the players

and then immediately listen/speak the opposite during the broadcast

[idle beacon]

oh he's the only korean <> english translator for all korean players?

[sullen berry]

fortunately, some media members brought their own ENG > KR Translators to the press inclusive AMA

[idle beacon]

weren't there also other translators?

ok

[sullen berry]

he's not

they had a woman do translations for spitefire and dynasty

they seem not specific to any particular team

for uprising, valiant and spitfire

I don't vividly recall the same translator used all the time
