[balmy wolf]

OOF WHAT

[red wyvern]

BOSTON BASHERS

[ruby pendant]

Good!!!

[quasi stump]

oh god

[red wyvern]

RISE UP LIKE 1776

[ruby pendant]

so close

[quasi stump]

SEAGULL PLKS

nooooooo

[red wyvern]

RIP Oceanbird

[balmy wolf]

oof

[grizzled kayak]

damn

[balmy wolf]

one win = win series

they only need to get one more win

it's alright

[median saddle]

dallas is going to lose both rounds

[vagrant niche]

we'll get it next time fuel

[median saddle]

quote me on this

[steady turret]

that was fun to watch

[ruby pendant]

unkoe looks sad

lol

[balmy wolf]

advertisements

lol

[grizzled kayak]

this game has actually been pretty fun to watch

not a stomp for boston

and its 1-0 for dallas

surprising to say the least

[pearl stratus]

More surprising that in two weeks Boston hasn't learned how this meta works even a little bit.

[raw delta]

Good for dallas

[grizzled kayak]

yeah

[pearl stratus]

Losing Crusty looks like it did a whole lot of bad for them.

[grizzled kayak]

yeah

they're playing kalios over note

aimgod over neko

[pearl stratus]

Note is a garbage Zarya.

[grizzled kayak]

im getting kinda confused

[pearl stratus]

That's why, btw.

[grizzled kayak]

i know

but theyve only played zarya on like

1 minute of blizzworld

[raw delta]

And the 2nd half of horizon

[grizzled kayak]

oh yeah

[sour pebble]

okay

um

[pearl stratus]

NotE, as good as he is, would have lost them second point Horizon playing into a Brig.

[raw delta]

I hope Dallas win lol gonna be funny

[pearl stratus]

I'll be kind of pissed. Not because Dallas won, but because Boston should have figured this out by now.

[ruby pendant]

lol

[raw delta]

They may fall to the current meta Dallas may rise

[pearl stratus]

I mean they literally can't rise.

[ruby pendant]

Endoken about to flip, if Fuel wins

[pearl stratus]

They're out of everything, except maybe stage finals.

[raw delta]

They have a op dive team not this meta

By season 2 they will have it figured out

[ruby pendant]

there's a date for Season 2?

[pearl stratus]

And then iut'll be out nerfed Brigitte.

And she won't get played.

[raw delta]

Yep

[ruby pendant]

sweet then

[pearl stratus]

No set date.

Just first quarter 2019.

[ruby pendant]

so long!!!

at least it's within a year

[pearl stratus]

Eh I hope/expect they'll rotate the contenders schedule slowly.

So that Contenders is in OWL downtime.

[sour pebble]

Finally a win after like 12 loses

[ruby pendant]

@sour pebble They beat Dragons

[balmy wolf]

rip fuel

[pearl stratus]

Mistakes should be off Widow and onto Junk, they got rid of their Pharah.

Double explosives into Brig would work.

[median saddle]

holy shit

[vagrant niche]

YES LETS GO

[median saddle]

they actually got it

[pearl stratus]

Not really.

[vagrant niche]

you can do it FUEL

[pearl stratus]

Gamsu and Kalios are both completely useless against Brigitte.

This is Boston just being retarded.

[median saddle]

is note zarya good

[pearl stratus]

Like flat out just retarded.

No, he's garbage.

[ruby pendant]

nice

[median saddle]

is kalios any better

[ruby pendant]

@pearl stratus lol, too mean

[pearl stratus]

Kalios has one of the best Zaryas in the league overall, stat wise.

[median saddle]

university is good for zarya

[pearl stratus]

Both of these maps are fine for Zarya.

[median saddle]

but unlucky that they didn't get that part

[balmy wolf]

Boston has no idea how to counter antidive.

[pearl stratus]

They just can't play anything but dive, it would seem.

Literally all you have to do is rotate Mistakes to Brigitte.

[balmy wolf]

Wait on Oasis City Center can you cap in that little hut in the center of the point?

[steady turret]

rip boston

[mortal cloak]

AAAAAHH

[torpid charm]

BOSTON LMAO

[median saddle]

man striker without tracer is just

so bad

[mortal cloak]

win you losers!!!

[pearl stratus]

He's actually good at Junkrat and Pharah.

Two heroes who magically do REALLY GOOD AGAINST BRIGITTE.

[balmy wolf]

Yeah Striker's junkrat is goo

d

[ruby pendant]

unkoe taking control

[pearl stratus]

It's more Mistakes.

[steady turret]

ripppp

[balmy wolf]

Okay rip boston

[quasi stump]

holy shit dallas

[hidden osprey]

wow

[quasi stump]

they fucking did it

[pearl stratus]

Mistakes is beyond useless in this meta so far.

[vagrant niche]

DALLASSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[vagrant fossil]

damn

[vagrant niche]

[glacial sleet]

glad I was here to witness history

[hidden osprey]

Fuel looking so much better

[balmy wolf]

Holy shit Dallas.

[red wyvern]

Boston, you have let me down

[balmy wolf]

They fucking did it.

[grizzled kayak]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

[mortal cloak]

finally

BURN FUCKING BLUE!!

[vagrant niche]

BURN BLUE

[red wyvern]

[quasi stump]

@balmy wolf jinx you owe me a coke

[grizzled kayak]

DALLAS FUEL IS BACK BABY

[ruby pendant]

Nice

[pearl stratus]

Now to see what happens when Dallas plays a team that isn't retarded in the meta.

Since so far they've had Shanghai and Boston XD

[red wyvern]

: (

[ruby pendant]

Endoken, you flipping out!!!

[balmy wolf]

I like this timeline.

[torpid charm]

don't be a meta team y'all, it'll fuck you up

[grizzled kayak]

frick

[coarse heath]

uNKOE fragged the fuck out

[sour pebble]

and right back to losing

[pearl stratus]

I'm flipping out because Boston was the coaching team.

And this is just shit coaching.

[grizzled kayak]

im tired of seeing this clip of the ryujehong coalescence

[balmy wolf]

WOOOOO

[median saddle]

looks like Crusty did a lot for uprising

[grizzled kayak]

why is it an ad for omen

lol

[worldly acorn]

Dallas has a coach poggers

[torpid charm]

same lmao @grizzled kayak

[balmy wolf]

Refueled everyone

[median saddle]

and he left

now shock has him

[torpid charm]

thank you, Aero

[balmy wolf]

@grizzled kayak hey, I remember you

[grizzled kayak]

hey, i also remember you

[pearl stratus]

I mean I don't think Aero had to do much, tbh.

[grizzled kayak]

i think

[pearl stratus]

EnvyUS always played tank metas well.

[coarse heath]

Two weeks ago if you told me that Dallas would beat Boston I would've fucking laughed my ass off

[worldly acorn]

"mickey you play brig, seag you're allowed to play genji sometimes"

all they needed

[coarse heath]

Coach Aero MVP

[inner coyote]

boston's been havinga rough time this stage...

[worldly acorn]

and "timo you're actually good at the game"

[median saddle]

hell if you told be boston would beat anyone two weeks ago other than shanghai I would have laughed

[balmy wolf]

You guys are underestimating Unkoe's presense as well

[pearl stratus]

Eh the first map I saw from Boston in Stage 4 you kind of realized they were going to be shit.

[balmy wolf]

Unkoe >Chipsajen

[pearl stratus]

Shanghai is adapting to the meta faster than Boston.

Let that sink in.

[glacial sleet]

has shangai won a single game yet

[grizzled kayak]

LMAO

@pearl stratus true

[balmy wolf]

Boston's primary coach left too, didnt he?

[median saddle]

yep

[balmy wolf]

from stage 3

[grizzled kayak]

yeah

[median saddle]

he left for shock

[pearl stratus]

Yeah, Crusty left to Shock.

[median saddle]

and shock looking pretty good

[pearl stratus]

But shit. You could have hired me as coach.

[coarse heath]

Boston is filled with a bunch of specialists

[balmy wolf]

and Shock beat Seoul. hmmm

[pearl stratus]

And they'd be playing a Brigitte.

[coarse heath]

They can literally only play dive

[torpid charm]

I almost forgot that Chipshajen existed

[pearl stratus]

I would have super glued Mistakes hands to the mice, and auto locked him Brigitte for the last week.

And hit him with jumper cables if he complained.

[balmy wolf]

Why not give Note a chance tho

[shy parrot]

DALLAS LUL

[balmy wolf]

Does he only know how to play D.Va?

[pearl stratus]

because Note is a really bad Zarya.

And Kalios is an amazing Zarya.

But it doesn't matter when you never play Zarya.

[balmy wolf]

exactly lol

[pearl stratus]

Like on that last map.

Kalios got a grav in the last 20% alone.

For Gardens someone should have shit on Mistakes picking Widow, since he's mid ground streaky at widow at best, and put him on Junkrat.

So you could have Striker Pharah and Mistakes Junkrat.

[grizzled kayak]

the best thing about the fuel victory is that its not luck

[minor flame]

Fuel won against Boston?

Wow

[pearl stratus]

I mean, arguably its luck.

[balmy wolf]

yes

[minor flame]

Boston has fallen that low

[pearl stratus]

They got lucky they got a team that is still playing Dive.

[minor flame]

Do we consider that an upset

[balmy wolf]

They arent even playing dive, they just seem onfused

[pearl stratus]

Not with how Boston has been playing this stage.

[balmy wolf]

confused*

[minor flame]

In league standings it would be an upset

This stage

lol

[pearl stratus]

Three OWL matches in, still haven't figured out how Brigitte works.

Blizzard needs to stop releasing really complex hard to play heroes.

Like Brigitte.

[balmy wolf]

or Moira

[pearl stratus]

Like right now.

[balmy wolf]

need more straightforward heroes like Ana and Widow

[pearl stratus]

Dallas is playing dive against dive.

And losing, badly.

After this point Mickie will swap to Brigitte.

And they'll go back to that comp for point B.

[balmy wolf]

yep

[minor flame]

Is the only reason Boston is doing so bad is because Mickie is on Brig

[pearl stratus]

Yes.

[balmy wolf]

and Boston wont adapt to it

[pearl stratus]

Boston cannot adapt to Brigitte, at all.

They try and play dive into it.

[grizzled kayak]

um why are dallas running akm on widow when taimou was popping off on horizon

[balmy wolf]

and fail to even climb over that hill choke

[minor flame]

You have to be really bad if your main reason of losing as a Top Tier Team is Mickie

[pearl stratus]

And they do it worse than Shanghai.

[minor flame]

#FireAero

[balmy wolf]

nvm lol

[red wyvern]

1 ELIM

[minor flame]

Bringing AKM in is like

actual throwing

unless hes on soldier

[pearl stratus]

They might have wanted a Zarya option.

Which is AKM for them.

[ruby pendant]

Lol, uprising look so pissed

too funny

[minor flame]

You should be

[pearl stratus]

Also this strat works perfectly fine against Brig as well.

[minor flame]

if youre losing because of mickie

[twin dragon]

i looked at the current score one time and i can't actually fathom it lmaoooo

[pearl stratus]

And Boston can play it.

Which is whats so confusing.

[twin dragon]

unbeatable -> beaten by fuel confirmed

[pearl stratus]

Double snipers is perfectly viable against her.

[minor flame]

going on a perfect league

vs going on a winless league

except theyre not the first ones on the winless league

Which one has the higher chance of winning

Houston or LA

[terse finch]

Oh my god what happened to this team

[balmy wolf]

our maybe fuels dps are doing really good

[minor flame]

Brigitte

[balmy wolf]

but yknow\

[ruby pendant]

Oge too

Been playing decent

[minor flame]

Fuel has a gigantic advantage against those who cant adapt to Brigitte

but against the people who already adapted

ehh

[heady idol]

Just tuned it, was playing dota.

Is Fuel good or is Boston bad?

[minor flame]

little of both

Boston is bad in this meta

Fuel is better in this meta

better not exactly great though

[fast basin]

Say I if you thought Boston would win

[grizzled kayak]

Envyus was used to playing really well in the tank meta

[fast basin]

I

xD

[balmy wolf]

I

[fast basin]

I'm the fuel fan and I was like "oh shit"

[balmy wolf]

MACE TO THE MACE TO THE MACE TO THE FACE

my prof pic says it all

[grizzled kayak]

🤔

[ruby pendant]

Really getting outplayed

[grizzled kayak]

fuelsbadman @balmy wolf

[vagrant niche]

AKM putting so much work

[grizzled kayak]

yo ur name

[median saddle]

AKM unleashing his inner sayaplayer on that last point

[grizzled kayak]

pasta brigitte

[balmy wolf]

akm was just left free there

[grizzled kayak]

[balmy wolf]

wtf

[fast basin]

2 to the 1 to the 1 to the 3, I bring no winnings, and toxicity. I'm the Dallas fuel, and I appear as a fool.

(srry, but Season 1 is a LUL)

[grizzled kayak]

@median saddle and taimou in horizon

[balmy wolf]

i get called pasta faguette a lot in comps 😦

[grizzled kayak]

fuelsbadman

but fuel won

so fuelsgoodman

[terse finch]

Are you implying that "LUL" is pronounced "lool"?

[balmy wolf]

fuelsamazingman

[fast basin]

No

[pearl stratus]

"Brigitte is a support." "Hold my beer." Mickie, flanking Boston who don't even know Brigitte is in this patch.

[fast basin]

I'm saying FOOL

[grizzled kayak]

fuelsplayingaroundmickiesbrigitteman

[fast basin]

not LUL

[ruby pendant]

That was a risky play though

[terse finch]

I thought the parenthetical was a continuation of the rhyme

[fast basin]

Shanghai gonna beat Boston?

[minor flame]

no

[heady idol]

Pretty sure Boston thought AimGod died to a breeze, what's a Brig am I right

[ruby pendant]

Mickie could have easily lost the game for Fuel

[pearl stratus]

Shanghai Boston would be who actually can figure out the meta first.

[minor flame]

they both cant adapt to brig for shit

[balmy wolf]

B4 stage 4 started, I would see Mickie destroy ladder teams with Brigitte on SBB's streams

[minor flame]

but Boston is the better shit

[balmy wolf]

didnt know he'd be this good

[rapid bobcat]

I check the match its 1-0 to dallas, I check again and its 2-0 om the 4th map wtf happened

[fast basin]

He's good

[pearl stratus]

I still argue we don't know if he's -that- good yet.

[fast basin]

Map 2 Draw

[pearl stratus]

I want to see him play against Glad, Houston or NYXL first.

A team that understands the meta.

[minor flame]

We dont really know what Pro Brig looks like

[fast basin]

and Stomping on City Center oasis, 99-99 on Gardens

[minor flame]

or theres barely any skill ceiling

[pearl stratus]

Right now this is like me saying I know Karate because I fought an entire class of third graders.

[balmy wolf]

Houston, Philly, and NYXL seem to have it figured out

[rapid bobcat]

@fast basin yeah O get that but HOWW TJE FUK DID THEY BEAT BOSTON

[balmy wolf]

@rapid bobcat one owrd, "Birgitte"

Brigitte*

[ruby pendant]

Maybe Mayhem will beat Valiant too

[fast basin]

@rapid bobcat First off, Brigitte, second, TAIMOU

[ruby pendant]

Looking forward to the other games

[fast basin]

His reaper on Blizzard world was 24-1

[rapid bobcat]

@ruby pendant thats what I thought

@fast basin SIIIICCCKK

[grizzled kayak]

boston probably thought stage 4 would be played on that old patch without brigitte and scrimmed without brigitte's

idk

[rapid bobcat]

They fucked up

[fast basin]

and on Horizon he 1v2d Striker and Mistakes like the whole time

[rapid bobcat]

Yeah I saw striker on widow

[fast basin]

he was ok

[rapid bobcat]

People saying striker one tricks tracer LUL

What a weird, but fun, way to start the week of OWL

[grizzled kayak]

dallas brought in sayaplayer instead of akm

[rapid bobcat]

Sayaplayer kills the entire enemy team but mayhem still loses the point

[grizzled kayak]

its sad but true

[rapid bobcat]

Its like saya is way out of the league with mayhem

[grizzled kayak]

saya is one of the best widows in the world

if mayhem had him already in stage 2 when they were playing really well

i mean

they'd do much better

[red wyvern]

[ruby pendant]

Taimou, looks so happy!!

[hidden osprey]

ayy

[rapid bobcat]

Taimou tearing apart striker lul

[balmy wolf]

LMAO taimou

[pearl stratus]

Nah that wasn't tearing apart.

That was legit. I'm sure Striker knows it.

[warped axle]

10/10 accent

[rapid bobcat]

The fuck is reinforce wearing

[pearl stratus]

Striker a better Widow than Mistakes though, that was fun.,

[rapid bobcat]

The fuck is sideshows haircut

[median saddle]

think unkoe is the mvp this series

he was so consistent and good

[warped axle]

Basically every player on Fuel had a good game

Especially Mickie, AKM, and Taimou

[vagrant niche]

no man

Seagull carried hard

[still stump]

what just happened to boston?

[vagrant niche]

so did AKM

[supple spear]

Effect carried that game

[heady idol]

holy shit, savage

"DF isn't good, Boston is trash"

[warped axle]

Seagull is always the carry

[ruby pendant]

@heady idol he funny

Like these castors

[dusky tinsel]

I don't think that's fair on Dallas, they played very well

[vagrant niche]

Mickie again? oh well

he did good too

[dusky tinsel]

Yeah Boston didn't shine as they usually do but it's not fair to say Dallas weren't good

[heady idol]

I think Mickie kinda deserves it, the difference between Mickie Brig vs Mickie D.Va last stage is probably the biggest jump

[median saddle]

support btw

[waxen rampart]

wait

that's mickie's name???

[ruby pendant]

Jonak got similar stats

[warped axle]

Reminder that the Mayhem has beaten Valiant before

Means nothing now though

[waxen rampart]

pongphop rattanasangchod?

[heady idol]

how hard can saya carry

[gaunt acorn]

boston is dead

[warped axle]

Doesn't matter they still lose anyway

[terse finch]

So who's gonna be the scripted NYXL rival this stage?

[ruby pendant]

@terse finch Dragons

[warped axle]

Houston

[gaunt acorn]

philly

back for the rematch

[terse finch]

@ruby pendant I said this stage not just in general

[warped axle]

Philly has always been NYXL's biggest rival

[ruby pendant]

@terse finch My bad!!!

[heady idol]

It's probably Houston this time

[gaunt acorn]

i think philly will challenge them for the stage 4 finals again

[warped axle]

I want Philly in season playoffs

They'd do so great

[gaunt acorn]

it could very well happen

[terse finch]

What stage were we in when Philly drama happened?

[vagrant niche]

2

[terse finch]

So was stage 3 a punishment?

For breaking kayfabe?

[balmy wolf]

Where are my credits

[heady idol]

yeah I'm not getting drops

[warped axle]

Dallas 3-0 Boston

Man I still can't believe it

[ruby pendant]

The playoffs are really close with the 2nd-6th teams

[gaunt acorn]

i haven't gotten drops either

not even last week

[pearl stratus]

Bostons still playing on 1.2, they didn't get the PTR updates.

[gaunt acorn]

i got like 2 drops in the past 2 weeks

[pearl stratus]

They don't have Brigitte on their scrim client, apparently.

[balmy wolf]

If you told me in Stage 3 that Boston would lose to Dallas I would have laughed at you.

But someone said that they got a 12 gb update on the ptr

[ruby pendant]

Would be nice if Gladiators or Dynasty could turn things around

[balmy wolf]

anyone else got that?

[terse finch]

I think Mercy streams broke the token system

[heady idol]

Sideshow keeping it real today

"Saya can hardcarry, but if he doesn't they just lose" paraphrasing

[balmy wolf]

Don't run B team Valiant, just don't.

Sayaplayer is on another level of Widow.

[warped axle]

Important map for Florida

[median saddle]

it's pretty known that saya is the best widow in the league

by far

[ruby pendant]

@rapid bobcat Mayhem 4-0

[warped axle]

Are we going to see another upset?

LAV are one of the easiest teams to tilt

[rapid bobcat]

@King Crimson#5682 I agree

@ruby pendant your ping doesn't ping

Now it does

[ruby pendant]

Feels good

!!!

[rapid bobcat]

This is SUPER winnable

[heady idol]

agilitieslooked mega boosted that game\

aside from Q'ing into gravs

[rapid bobcat]

I can do that in gold as well

[heady idol]

[spring lintel]

Thank god i thought some how df got good

[terse finch]

[dusky tinsel]

gg

[quasi stump]

shit

[median saddle]

how is zebbo so bad

[heady idol]

man I love when Twitch spams JEFF in chat during this song

I dunno why but it makes me laugh every time

[forest wharf]

first map win this stage oof

[quasi python]

oh my oh my dallas won!

[heady idol]

I'm still confused how Agilities died, why would you put shield down before getting behind the corner against a top tier Widow, I just don't get it

[still stump]

that was weird

[heady idol]

Bren sounds like he says "Brig-Kitten"

ahah the Jeff spam is back

WAIT

LOGIX IN FOR SAYA?

Not logix for tviq

[forest wharf]

taking out saya...rip

[paper crag]

wait what

so i went to OW reddit

am i reading a serious post when it says DF beat BU?

[heady idol]

yes

DF 3-0 BU

[paper crag]

wtf

[forest wharf]

Dreamkazper's revenge

[heady idol]

wasn't even close

[paper crag]

like

wtf

?

[heady idol]

Ayy soon got logix

[paper crag]

was it DF actually playing well or was BU just amazingly bad

if you had to choose one

[median saddle]

both

[heady idol]

60% BU played bad, 40% DF played good

[median saddle]

boston playing bad

[heady idol]

what i've seen it described as

[paper crag]

wow

#EffectWasTheProblem

[forest wharf]

#HowToCounterBrigitte

[paper crag]

is DF just somehow going to be gods in this brigitte meta

can play okay brigitte, can counter brigitte well kinda deal?

[heady idol]

LAV always looks behind the enemy in this game, always playing catchup

[paper crag]

@forest wharf actually, do you mean that DF countered BU's brigitte well, or was BU just clueless about how to counter DF brig?

[forest wharf]

the latter

[paper crag]

oh okay

are a lot of teams having trouble countering brigitte?

[forest wharf]

basically was shanghai game 2.0 but BU was actually expected to win

[paper crag]

shanghai got absolutely destroyed by DF brig too

yeah

maybe mickie's brig IS actually above average

[shy wind]

Wait

[paper crag]

i forget who it was, but a DF player said the SHD win wasn't mickie being a god but shd just being clueless

[shy wind]

did dallas beat boston

[paper crag]

3-0 apparently

[shy wind]

monkaWTF

[paper crag]

i wtf'd too

effect was the problem all along

/s

[shy wind]

well to be fair

it's boston

[heady idol]

keep saya on the bench

thanks

[shy wind]

boston can go from a grandmaster team to a bronze team

depending on the season

[ruby pendant]

lol, salty

[forest wharf]

they go 10-0 last stage, beating nyxl then gets rekt 3-0 by fuel

[shy wind]

but it's true though lmao

boston has been consistantly the most inconsistant team

[paper crag]

SHD = Boston

[forest wharf]

boston downfalling

[paper crag]

bosunder downfalling

bostunder*

[forest wharf]

i still dont see why they swapped out saya...

[paper crag]

was he popping off?

[heady idol]

WTF was that snipe

[paper crag]

something that i've noticed mayhem do over the last three stages was to switch logix out when he's popping off lol

then put zappis in

lose the round

then put logix back in

that was mayhem's MO last stage i think

[forest wharf]

thats what they did on the philly game...saya destroys then they swapped him out and lost

[paper crag]

yeah?

mayhem made some questionable switches from what i've seen so far lol

[forest wharf]

or maybe it was the nyxl game, idk

[paper crag]

maybe they're just trying to cool down their players because they're getting too warmed up

lol

can't have our players stay on fire

[heady idol]

keep him benched

I want this LAV win

[paper crag]

that'd be against the fire code

gotta keep osha off their back

[heady idol]

👏 Stay 👏 on 👏 the 👏 bench 👏 ty👏

[rare sonnet]

https://clips.twitch.tv/DirtyColdbloodedAirGuitarRaccAttack

wow OWL getting big

[forest wharf]

oooohhhh saya back

[balmy wolf]

lol sayaplayer nopin the fuck out

[heady idol]

saya panicing

it feels like

"mayhem not even close to the point" is that what he said?

[forest wharf]

fl's healers are just not good at all

[ruby pendant]

@heady idol think so

[heady idol]

Saya is going to hardcarry them to game 5

[ruby pendant]

lol

Hanzo mad

[forest wharf]

as you say that he gets a 3k

[ruby pendant]

wow

[heady idol]

phew

[warped axle]

Valiant winning ResidentSleeper

[ruby pendant]

Sayaplayer should go to Dynasty

Or London, they need him badly.

[median saddle]

get saya out of this dumpster fire

[heady idol]

You know, even with no tokens, 100k viewers. Wonder if this sends a signal to Blizz or investors or something

"They arne't just watching for the drops"

idk maybe I'm reading too much into it

[balmy wolf]

The drops are nice though.

You can actually still get the drops by muting the tab.

Not muting the twitch stream

[ruby pendant]

If Outlaws do good this stage, they can place in Playoffs

Same with Glads, would be interesting to see who wins this match

[median saddle]

Glads hopefully

[brisk roost]

WTF Boston actually lost to Dallas

[cerulean plume]

[median saddle]

also void prob playing tongiht

[ruby pendant]

@brisk roost blowout

too sad to watch

[brisk roost]

Hopefully my Houston team wins

[ruby pendant]

@median saddle Gonna be hard!

[brisk roost]

And yeah that was an upset

I thought Boston was gonna clap Dallas

But I guess not

[warped axle]

I want to see Void played

[cerulean plume]

Imagine going 10-0 one stage and not making the playoffs

That would be a nice headline

[ruby pendant]

lol

possible

[humble moth]

time to watch the outlaws continue to lose

[heady idol]

?

[ruby monolith]

they beat both London and Boston

with only 1 map lost

[heady idol]

they got a fastest point a takes in OWL history against Boston also, forgot which map

[brisk roost]

@imawolfrawr dumbass they won twice in a row

Fake fan

[heady idol]

JEFF JEFF JEFF JEFF

[brisk roost]

Fuck outta here wolf

[ruby monolith]

JEFF JEFF JEFF

cant believe Dallas beat Boston

[brisk roost]

Dont worry

Wolf is a fake ass fan

[ruby pendant]

@brisk roost lol

[brisk roost]

Apparently winning to him is losing

@humble moth Explain the 4-0 Houston gave to London

[median saddle]

oh god

houston fans

[balmy wolf]

Void PogChamp

[ruby pendant]

It would be crazy if Glads 4-0

Outlaws have been playing pretty good lately

[forest wharf]

autistic screeching intensifies

[median saddle]

i'm expecting glads 3-2

[brisk roost]

Expecting the same but Houston 3-2

[opaque cargo]

welp

forgot OWL was on

[forest wharf]

gg

[opaque cargo]

Fuel went 3-0 against Uprising???

[forest wharf]

yup

[opaque cargo]

I'm so confused

did they like

did Uprising go SHD and run dive into brigitte

[forest wharf]

yup

was shanghai game 2.0

[opaque cargo]

🤦 the state of you

[ruby pendant]

like these diverse comp

[opaque cargo]

attack bastion

attack bastion

makes sense now that it's payload but

[balmy wolf]

oof gold strats

[opaque cargo]

yow

jakerat time

[forest wharf]

you can tell they turned the crowd mics wayyy down

[opaque cargo]

kinda sad

[median saddle]

how is losing bani a problem for the glads

what

[forest wharf]

now its just faint way too loud autistic screeching

[median saddle]

the casters are mispronouncing everything

[shy wind]

uprising is like a coin

you never know which meme you'll get each stage

[pallid cargo]

all these dragons my god

[shy wind]

and this is old hanzo

monkawtf

[pearl stratus]

The dragons wasn't the problem.

Hanzo always charged ult fast.

The problem was Spree KEPT UP WITH HIM.

That's the scary part.

[cerulean plume]

Spree is a monster

[pearl stratus]

When your Zarya is charging gravs as fast as your Hanzo is charging dragons you're going to be a little nutty.

[median saddle]

void was underwhelming ngl

but let's see

could be nerves

[pearl stratus]

Nerves and adjusting to LAN. Other than Jjonak no one has been like "I'M SO GOOD ON LADDER" and gone insane in OW.

Ladder is where bench players go to pretend they still matter.

[ruby pendant]

depends

[cerulean plume]

There's also note 🤔

[pearl stratus]

Note didn't start insane, that was a lot of coaching.

Jjonak literally just showed up and threw balls into peoples faces.

[heady idol]

I want bischu in over void

[cerulean plume]

Tbh they'll probably perform about the same

[pearl stratus]

Void just opens up different comps than Bischu, they'll be used for their own things.

[cerulean plume]

Unless bischus communication is a greater factor

[pearl stratus]

Maps where you may want a D'va/Brig, you'll get Brigitte.

Maps where you want to not have a DPS rotate to Zarya you can play Void, and have a DPS pick up Brig.

[ruby pendant]

Did Void play that bad?

[heady idol]

woah I just got an OWL drop'

[ruby pendant]

I missed it

[pearl stratus]

Nah he didn't play badly.

[heady idol]

not bad, kinda underwhelming

IMO

[pearl stratus]

He was overhyped.

Like Sinatraa.

Blame the desk more than Void.

[ruby pendant]

oh

[heady idol]

i'm a fcking bischu fangirl tho :))

[pearl stratus]

Reinforce was like "HE KICKS MY ASS ALL THE TIME YOU CAN'T STOP HIM"

And Spree was like "Lol. Hold my beer."

And got 30second Gravs back to back to back.

[ruby pendant]

Maybe, he'll get better over time like Ado

Have to rewatch that match

[pearl stratus]

I'm sure he'll be fine.

But realistically in terms of actual play - Spree is by far the best Zarya in the league.

[ruby pendant]

@pearl stratus 30 sec!!! Lol trolling

[pearl stratus]

Not even trolling, you'll see when you watch it.

Spree matched Jakes charging of Hanzo ults.

[ruby pendant]

haha

[median saddle]

Spree has 2k hours on zarya

insane

[ruby pendant]

Didn't know you told jokes

[median saddle]

even more actually

[ruby pendant]

was really funny, Hanzo charges a bit fast

[pearl stratus]

I could understand it, she's honestly one of the most fun heroes to play when you have a coordinated team.

[ruby pendant]

@heady idol congrats

[paper crag]

doesn't hanzo charge like almost 10% per fully charged shot

[pearl stratus]

Yeah, 30-40 seconds is about normal for hanzo ult charging, if not a little quicker if you go crazy.

[paper crag]

yeah

it's also insane how quickly reaper ult charges in the right circumstances lol

[pearl stratus]

That actually hasn't changed much from pre to post nerfs.

If you set up "ideal" circumstances Genji charges the fast iirc.

[cerulean plume]

This tracer strat hurts to watch

[paper crag]

lol yeah that too

[pearl stratus]

One good reflect from an entire team of idiots and you can get blade in like 10 seconds.

[median saddle]

jake went from master of dragons to messed up time traveler

ouch

[paper crag]

do you get ult charge from deflected ults?

[pearl stratus]

If its deadeye and stuff I believe so.

[paper crag]

or is the game coded that ult damage simply doesn't give ult charge

oh okay

[pearl stratus]

Houston is so bad on Hanamura, lol

Requires too much attack.

[cerulean plume]

Yikes

[paper crag]

btw is ult charge determined by damage connected to the enemy, or damage actually taken by the enemy?

like if I land a body shot with mccree on a nano'd target

do i get 70 dmg's worth of charge or 35

[pearl stratus]

I believe its the 35, but I could very well be wrong.

[paper crag]

i feel like that's how it'd be too

but i also wouldn't be surprised if it was just the whole 70

i was just wondering lol

[median saddle]

symm got 5 seconds of playtime

whooooooo

[heady idol]

Whooooooo

[ruby pendant]

That was a bit too quick

[median saddle]

is it safe to say that that jake attack was the worst tracer play in the league so far

[pallid cargo]

oh my lord how does it happen so often lol

[ruby pendant]

Shaz has gotten a lot better.

Really impressed

[median saddle]

Kyky effect coming in

kill coolmatt

[cerulean plume]

Linkzr is getting dunked on

[median saddle]

that drag from jake though

[cerulean plume]

gg

[median saddle]

huuuuge

[forest wharf]

shaz getting more snipes than linkzr

[median saddle]

gg

[humble moth]

@ruby monolith @brisk roost told ya so

[visual glen]

[warped axle]

[ruby pendant]

@brisk roost Sorry for your loss

[warped axle]

Shaz better be MVP

Player of the Match

Whatever

[ruby pendant]

@warped axle He did amazing

[forest wharf]

heh the watch next tab in the twitch owl pop up thing has xqc's stream as the first

[warped axle]

Wait was that a car ad starring Hex and Soe

[idle beacon]

lol stupid toyota commercial

[warped axle]

Damn I looked away

[idle beacon]

yes kuni

this was the second toyota commercial with OWL mods

which i;ve seen tonight

[torpid charm]

the commercials are so funny

[bleak ocean]

yup

[lethal plank]

so i was reading some reddit posts and saw some people complaining about OWL tokens. Are owl tokens finally all-access pass only?

also fuck-yeah fuel

[deft valley]

why would the tokens be all-access pass only

and why would you want them to be lmao

[lethal plank]

because blizzard wants to kill owl

i mean is all access even worth it?

[mint turtle]

yh i didnt earn any last night

.......

kinda sucked cause im brit so its 12am- 4am

[lime bridge]

Any news about the start of Phase 2 Votings for the Overwatch World cup ?

[grand vortex]

hey guys, is anyone in here from europe and is able to see ads in twitch to get free cheers?

there are 2 new skins for mercy and genji in twitch and to get both you need to cheer 2600 points... which turns out to be 40€ more or less (without the watch ads option)

[balmy wolf]

where were you when boston dies

[torpid charm]

[warped axle]

[fast basin]

Is Dallas gonna pick up more wins this stage?

[torpid charm]

maybe

[minor flame]

They might win against Mayhem

Most likely

But against the other good teans

[torpid charm]

yeah, I was gonna say they can get a W against Florida

[minor flame]

Ehhhhhhhhhhhh

[torpid charm]

the only reason why they beat Boston is because Boston is literally shit right now

Mickie got that mf thang on him since he's playing Brig now

[paper crag]

So why is boston literally shit right now after such a great run last stage?

That’s such a huge drop even considering that this is a new patch, imo

Going undefeated last stage then solidly losing to the second worst team in the league

[torpid charm]

they sold their souls for a perfect stage

nah but honestly, this is a new meta where you need those projectile heroes to take care of things, a.k.a. Pharah. who knows how to play Pharah on that team? nobody, but tbh I didn't expect them to be this bad starting off

[sullen berry]

@paper crag I would put it down to training regimen to practice for stage 4 meta was held back by the Boston fan visit, a routine thing in the future but probably not the biggest reason for fault 2 weeks into the stage

They are screwed for team compositions if they can't pull of triple tank to foil the brigitte and projectiles being played by every other team

[pulsar hill]

are boston the next shanghai?

[limber pine]

no

they're a middle of the pack team who benefited from a great meta in Stage 3

[pulsar hill]

ik ik i joke

what was the meta in stage 2?

was it still dive>

[sullen berry]

Mercy nerfs and sombra buffs

So yes it was still dive, to answer your question

[pearl stratus]

@paper crag Boston plays dive perfectly - they cannot play anything else at all remotely well at the moment. It's an odd coaching decision because honestly no one has said Brigitte was "hard" to play so they should be able to make at least a basic comp work. But thats when you notice some glaring issues with their hero pools.

Their best thing to do would be to superglue Mistakes into a chair and force him to figure out Brigitte for a week, then let Striker rotate between his hero pool (since it looks like he's a better Widow than Mistakes too)

[sullen berry]

Striker and mistakes don't have too much overlap

[pearl stratus]

It's not the overlap its Mistakes pool in general.

He's Widow, Tracer, Genji, Sombra. Widow being the only valuable one when you drop dive and go into a Brig comp.

And his Widows just not that great, its much too streaky and inconsistent.

[sullen berry]

it is incredibly disappointing to see what they have and not have a way to pop off without widow on a good day

[pearl stratus]

Striker so far in this stage has looked, hands down, as the better Widow and he has Pharah and Junkrat. His Pharah is mediocre, but its still there at least.

[sullen berry]

Sombra plays have been awesome but that's like striker's tracer trying to go ham VS brigitte

[pearl stratus]

Mistakes should, by all accounts, be the one to rotate to Brig when its necessary

Gamsu Rein, Kalios Zarya, Mistakes Brig, Striker Widow/Junk/Pharah, Kellex Mercy, Neko/Aimgod Zen.

And they'd have a counter comp.

Or keep pushing the double sniper. Just something that isn't trying to Dive into her.

[sullen berry]

I don't find my self seeing more doomfist, but would love to have either players playing him

If you can predict the shield bash cool downs and dodge the flail toss

It's a rewarding counter to use, but niche

Not for Boston, it seems

[pearl stratus]

I think its more his consistency and lack of range. Jumping into a pro group of Brig/Zen/Rein just doesn't seem.... good.

It is fun when he does pop up now and again though

[sullen berry]

It's not their bracket of heroes

[pearl stratus]

But he needs that element of surprise more than anything.

[sullen berry]

I need to see more solider, which has dropped so much in the past two stages

[pearl stratus]

Yeah, Shanghai was really the only team to go a little crazy with him towards the end of last stage.

[sullen berry]

I guess AKM found himself in a good spot after today's matchup

[pearl stratus]

And Diya used him well, but his overall effectiveness is just so hit or miss.

[sullen berry]

I think Diya, by all accounts, his dps is overshadowed by the competition

[pearl stratus]

Most of stage 3 I'd agree, end of Stage 3 start of Stage 4 I'd disagree.

Watching Diya out-Widow some really really strong Widows will never not make me happy.

[sullen berry]

Still you gotta admit if they do anything with him next season it will have to be how much more he can give to a team he has to carry
