I can't predict any of today's matches tbh without straight up guessing
not the map scores at least, for the winners I go with 
, 
and 
but I'm only really sure of
and 
are the only guarantees left in the league
I missed the matches, when did this happen? https://i.imgur.com/xlAvzPg.png
limber pine
@ruby pendant I was in the building for all of the matches. His performance (at least to my untrained eye anyway) was Fissure-esque. He was agressive when he needed to be, and his Primal Rage's were fantastic.
I'd have to review the vods to get more specifics than that
tight vault
so i heard Shanghai did awful yesterday
verbal roost
crickets
torpid charm
@silk linden happened during Fusion's defense round on point A of Gibraltar against Dragons
vagrant niche
basically, Freekill dying all the moment he could, Fearless in bad positions and screwing up Ado's kill, Geguri, same as fearless and not protecting the supports that were usually in a bad place to begin with
Diya did decently compared to what he was teamed up with
limber umbra
i like SHD because mechanically they're really good but their teamplay is shit
it's like watching a mighty ducks movie
vagrant niche
i can relate the same way to Fuel and Mayhem
tight vault
Could we get soem good supports on Shanghai
sand pond
I think their main issue is that they're just 3 months behind every other team. Communication, versatility, and individual player strength are all things that we saw low-tier teams struggle with in stages 1-2 and really improve in stages 2-3. Even with a solid team, they're just playing at such a huge deficit at this point.
sand pond
my concern is that they're going to reach the end of the season, Ado/Diya/Geguri will be poached by better teams, and then they'll be back where they started =/
silk linden
how has shanghai's academy team been doing?
sand pond
i believe this is their academy team? https://liquipedia.net/overwatch/Team_CC
looks like they did pretty well within China, but as we've seen that doesn't necessarily translate to doing well in the global scene
how do you all feel about Widow in the current OWL scene? In a good place? Oppressive?
tight vault
middle category
silk linden
not excited about shock and outlaws?
drowsy fulcrum
shock actually garbage
haven't heard anything but toxicity about them
unironically
tight vault
they beat seoul
drowsy fulcrum
that's not hard anymore
tight vault
no team is easy to beat unless Shanghai takes them 3-2
drowsy fulcrum
i'm also blocked by every single player and the org themselves on twitter tho so

pulsar hill

vestal berry
Other damage will be put in
ruby pendant
Valiant going to win?! Maybe Dynasty will 4-0 Excelsior!
pulsar hill
ahahahha
vestal berry
Has dynasty adjusted well to this meta?
ruby pendant
not too sure, they lost their last 2 games
lethal plank
Aimgod throwing
silk linden
it's funny how in the patch they're playing there's no reason to run these tracelerless comps, but they still do even if there's no Brigitte on the other team
metas are so weird
vestal berry
Striker is basically tracer with a sniper rifle
pulsar hill
why were they using mistakes?
vagrant fossil
well they cant use kazper anymore
ruby pendant
@silk linden Think they use what they practice with, they barely deviate
vagrant fossil
ruby pendant
lol agilities
silk linden
the thing is, they could switch back to winston/tracer/dva, but then it would only take one of valiant going brigitte to fuck them
pulsar hill
yh
silk linden
and despite what the devs claim, this game severely punishes hero swaps
pulsar hill
oooo striker tho
silk linden
to be fair, KR meta was already different from standard dive in past stages
pulsar hill
soo gettin aggrssive
drowsy fulcrum
double sniper is kinda boring ngl
dire skiff
yo are they playing a version of overwatch that never existed outside of OWL?
drowsy fulcrum
@dire skiff no it existed for 3 days
dire skiff
never in comp though, right?
vestal berry
They are just bullying them
supple prism
damn boston

Boston playing like gold rankers
tight vault
remember when Boston was good
drowsy fulcrum
remember when london was good

Remember when Hanzo wasn’t DPS?

the level of widowmaker play in OWL is honestly beyond the charts
lethal plank
Remember when Dallas was supposed to be good?
silk linden
the celining has been shattered
radiant plinth
umu
balmy wolf
Well
vestal berry
Dallas was good?
balmy wolf
Dallas beat Boston.
radiant plinth
I like how everyone roots for Shanghai even though they lose.
balmy wolf
Probably because Boston are basically dive one-tricks.
radiant plinth
I like Geguri, she’s a pure egg and a memer.
lethal plank
We'll root Shanghai until they get their first win then fuckem
radiant plinth
deal
balmy wolf
I love that game Geguri played in ranked with Muma on the other team, and she said "I love you" when Muma killed her, and he said "I love you too"
vestal berry
And if they don't get that win?
radiant plinth
She’s pretty frogboy.
balmy wolf
Honestly I ship Geguri and Muma even though Muma's gay.
lethal plank
Umm
radiant plinth
They’re wholesome.
vestal berry
Mumas gay?
lethal plank
Muma isn't gay
balmy wolf
Yes he is.
drowsy fulcrum
yes he is
tight vault
he's happy
radiant plinth

My friend actually gave Geguri the frog Pachimari plush.

pulsar hill

drowsy fulcrum
the moment he got shut down he left lmaooooo

OWL is like classic minority representation. They have 1 (one) black player, 1 (one) female player, 1 (one) gay player
lethal plank
Lolboston
pulsar hill
who is black?
silk linden
well, for the last one, that we know of
drowsy fulcrum
@silk linden there could be more black people
silk linden
Snow, benchboy for the Uprising
pulsar hill
ok
radiant plinth
It hurts to be a Boston Uprising fan.
drowsy fulcrum
we also had 1 (one) pedophile
silk linden
again, that we know of
tight vault
OOF
silk linden

dafran said if he was voted onto the dutch overwatch world cup comittee he'd only hire plat players

I remember stylosa played in 2016 world cup
drowsy fulcrum
stylosa played in 2016
balmy wolf
2016 had a few youtubers
drowsy fulcrum
and hired 4 youtube celebrities and 2 good players
balmy wolf
like australia played muselk
balmy wolf
muselk's second channel is better than his main channel atm
muselk's second channel is what his main channel was pre-fortnite
drowsy fulcrum

When it’s 2:0 twitch chat says “REVERSE SWEEP!!!”
As soon as match 3 ends as 3:0 they go “0-4watch LUL”
That’s every match haha

twitch chat is garbage. More news at 7

heady idol
You could also watch ads to get bits
brisk roost
Next match is NYXL vs Seoul right?
candid cedar
the owl skins suck, so why bother cheering with bits
tardy jackal
but you don't get ads with twitch prime @heady idol
candid cedar
no, you can specifically watch ads for bits
but they kinda stopped doing that i think
drowsy fulcrum
"that was when agilities made a sour moment into something sweet"
how the fuck is Valiant holding point against a trickling Seoul with 6 ults sour
candid cedar
nice pfp
drowsy fulcrum
heady idol
did they get rid of it? that's a shame.
candid cedar
not really
but its harder to get more bits
they used to let you get like 45 bits for one ad
now its only 5 bits

@drowsy fulcrum A sour sweet turn is still a sour sweet turn lmfao

man I am really unimpressed by agilities genji this map and hanamura
tardy jackal
quite a fast trance?
tardy jackal
i just saw that trans percentage go up from 0-30 in 1 sec, oop
sullen berry
If mistakes or agilities were in the same room and only one would leave victorious
It would be on Dorado map 4
ruby pendant
wow thought Valiant would have won by now
sullen berry
With mistakes edging out
tardy jackal
think they should make the res cooldown visible, since it's almost the amount of some ult cooldowns
brisk roost
Do you think NYXL will sweep Seoul?
drowsy fulcrum
yes

they might be better off 5v6ing

jfc this korean translator again

it is, but it's not really centered around developing the ability to carry on a conversation

because ark can speak english very well, pretty much fluently

onyx shore
if people wants to troll

then they should vote for one of SHD's players

make geguri mvp

lol, you guys are too salty!!

i just don't like this translator because he omits important parts or just flat out changes what the players say
or coerces the players to say certain things

yeah he adds, omits, and changes shit
alpine ice
paper crag
he tries to be a personality
alpine ice
onyx shore
like wtf
paper crag
you're a translator. stop adding your personality and focus on getting the players' personalities across the language barrier
onyx shore
your job is to translate not exagerate
paper crag
yeah seriously
he also coerces players to say certain things
like trash talk other players or something
even when they're obviously avoiding saying stupid shit
the guy is just trying to hard to be a personality in the scene or something
and not doing his job right
onyx shore
tbh,ideally,we need more trashtalk
paper crag
i'd much rather have ark translate for nyxl
onyx shore
but not like this
paper crag
trashtalk should come from players who trashtalk
echo hare
he really gets under your skin, does he?
paper crag
naturally
onyx shore
if you want to manufacture,drama and tension,don't make it obvious
paper crag
not by forcing people who don't trashtalk
onyx shore
paper crag
or flat out adding shit
yeah the guy fucking gets under my skin because he's a shitty translator
and i understand everything the players say so i know how much he's twisting shit
onyx shore
yeah,that translator is equivalent to asian jake paul
alpine ice
@paper crag what did libero say :v
echo hare
i can see how that would tick you off. i figured he changed stuff, but not that much
paper crag
i actually have sound off right now lol
but this one time he was doing a Q&A with fearless

i just saw the dude's face and it just made my blood boil so i had to vent lol

paper crag
RIGHT?
echo hare
looks like it isnt covering his left ear, and is just behind his ear
paper crag
lol look at that shield break
it always kills me a little inside when people don't shoot shields and try to walk through it
so they're closer to the enemy and easier to get shot
👌
echo hare
same. riskier
paper crag
i mean, yeah, it's viable when it's viable
but don't get out of your way to run through the shield when it's faster and safer to just shoot the shield down
echo hare
who do you think will make top 8 for world cup?
paper crag
i'm guessing korea and US right off the bat
echo hare
for sure lol
echo hare
yea, canada. agilities, s4, note, and verbo

idk if i want to say this but i think china could still make it
just have no chance of winning it lol

so it's not exactly 4 minutes right?

dont think so
paper crag
okay so a reddit post says it charges 5% every 12 sec
so it'd be 6 minutes to charge on its own
wait
8
right? 480 sec, divide by 60 and you get 8

it had nothing to do with being tilted from end of last stage

So probably not a very unpopular opinion but Crusty is probably one of the best coaches in OWL
If not the best.
First turning Boston Outlaws into the unstoppable juggernaut last season and now Shock are having their own resurgence.
glad cairn
did you forget THE wizard?

if it was really down to coaching battles this entire matchup
kyky would have too much respect for crusty

@clear wyvern i dont even know/care who half these people are
polar pier
Alrighty thhen.
worn falcon
Anyways, back to OWL, so my Seoul is losing so hard
polar pier
I know, righit.
NYXL better get ready for the reaming of a lifetime.
Because THIS IS SHANGHAI'S TIME TO SHINE please maybe just one...
worn falcon
wait they haven't won?
polar pier
0-33 record.
worn falcon
Fffffuck
grizzled kayak
i wanna see dragons vs mayhem
saya vs diya
gonna be a good one
geguri vs manneten
worn falcon
Give Geguri Zarya in this meta
polar pier
Did you see Dragons and Mayhem back when Diya and Saya weren't on the team?
Like, I loved Dragons and Mayhem because they were underdogs and stuff, but hooooooly shit their old rosters were awful.
vagrant niche
0-34 incoming tomorrow
grizzled kayak
but diya was on dragons since the start
worn falcon
SHD in early stages was awful and full of dps
polar pier
MG gave me hope.
Because if he can be a competitive D.Va then clearly the bar is not set very high.
rapid bobcat
How bad did Houston do?
balmy wolf
bad
polar pier
They got one point.
worn falcon
Also depending so much in Mercy
rapid bobcat
Wow
vagrant niche
@rapid bobcat Kyky strats bad
vagrant niche
Sleepy said it himself, Crusty is ALPHA coaching
polar pier
They should be happy they at least capped point A in Blizzard World.
vagrant niche
while KYKY is BETA
polar pier
Because otherwise there would be literal riots.
grizzled kayak
crusty is really good
vagrant niche
polar pier
If Crusty doesn't get some sorta MVP coaching award or even a shoutout I'm calling bullshit.
The man is a fucking legend.
vagrant niche
@rapid bobcat this is no joke, Kyky is on Houston, what ever that man touches turns into ashes
polar pier
So hear me out.
polar pier
What would happen if Kyky got onto NYXL?
like.
If a genie cursed NYXL and forced Kyky onto them.
worn falcon
Holy molly with this stage standing
From stage 1 to 3 the supremes were NYXL, London and Seoul
now this
grizzled kayak
seoul wasn't a supreme team ever since mid stage 1
polar pier
Man I fell in love with Seoul back in the start of OWL.
worn falcon
Wait you're right, they were declining in the 3rd stage
polar pier
I bought the D.Va and Mercy Dynasty skins because they were just dominating everything.
grizzled kayak
i fell in love with lunatic-hai and the korean team
polar pier
And then.
Like.
They threw away their stage 1 playoff contention with some truly baffling decisions and...
supple prism
NYXL is most likely gonna move to top slot after their next game
polar pier
Seoul strikes me as the team that SHOULD be in the playoffs but never is because they turn off their brains at the most pivotal moment.
worn falcon
was my frist one
polar pier
Like that one asshole in your Ranked games that is clearly smurfing and far outranks everyone else on your team but is a dick and thinks he's so ahead of everyone he can win with Torb attack.
worn falcon
But i'm glad i haven't regretted my Genji Fusion skin lmao
polar pier
And then throws the entire game away because it turns out even when he's on his main he can't beat ult econ.
polar pier
I'm not speaking from experience no I'm not bitter.
Bischu is my personal fave but I have some small history with him.
worn falcon
So, huh, Dallas and SFS are improving
polar pier
Since he used to be a fledgling talent in the League scene and was honestly pretty decent whenever he got to sub on the stage.
I'm happy he's got a main position on OWL and that he's pretty good.
worn falcon
Heh
I think my favs players in this entire season are SBB and JJonak
But is fun seeing some guys improving or shining
onyx shore
dallas isn't technically improving tho
won against SHD,won against Boston
get rekt by gladiators,hard
glad cairn
The California teams are on the rise tbh
onyx shore
SFS only regret so far is that 3-2 defeat against dynasty
glad cairn
dynasty?
worn falcon
Like i said, i've missed so many matches since stage 3 and this because i've been busy at my job
:(
onyx shore
houston outlaws stays the same even though people said that this patch is for them
lmao
worn falcon
Houston always in the middle
onyx shore
dallas fuel probably gonna lose tomorrow
so fuel and outlaws will be at the same place
2-2
glad cairn
who does dallas play
polar pier
So you know what I don't get?
glad cairn
oh yeah, that's an L for sure lol
onyx shore
i think it's more like
worn falcon
Oh yeah, i had that feeling in previous matches.
onyx shore
every other team already improved
polar pier
Really dunno how to describe it. It's not like they throw, they just... don't try.
onyx shore
dynasty and spitfires stays the same
polar pier
I mean I'm mostly bitter because I'm a C9 fan.
I was hyped when they won stage 1.
But it seems they just never got back to that.
:(
glad cairn
its more like they had too many players that they didn't know who to play
onyx shore
questionable substitution
polar pier
Also is it just me or is Spitfire literally C9ing sometimes?
glad cairn
so they never had a set lineup
sullen berry
in true cloud 9 fashion mate
it's true seoul is underperforming because it seems now fleta's experiencing the same carry curse
you would only see this carry potential with effect or sayaplayer
onyx shore
i think everybody finally catch up with korean teams
sullen berry
but rarely have I seen sayaplayer outperform to get series wins these days from the middle of the pack
onyx shore
by using their own koreans for most of the part
polar pier
Also unrelated aside but I'm both relieved and disappointed that Storm Arrow Hanzo isn't part of the meta.
sullen berry
^
polar pier
It would've been cool to watch but I don't think we need another Mercy scenario.
onyx shore
well,it's a sign that blizzard can't schedule shit
despite the content of the patch
it's embarassing
worn falcon
Hanzo every match
worn falcon
"enjoy the bugs guys"
onyx shore
then that's blizzard's fault
don't release it if it's full of bugs and shits
do not have triple A dev mentality
a.k.a release now patch later
polar pier
Part of me kinda wishes that Blizzard did the tourney patch things like Riot did.

A week buffer whenever the new patch rolls around so you can figure out what's new then into the fire you go.
Although considering that Overwatch's balance team moves at a glacier's pace compared to League's that probably wouldn't work.
sullen berry
Activision Blizzard, however...
polar pier
Funny aside but...
This weekend was supposed to be the launch of League's Clash. Basically, imagine mini consolidated OWLs where people come together and form teams to climb for prizes.
sullen berry
monte's comments from blizzard admit they are working on it, sad that a result of that commitment will only show as early as the season playoffs
polar pier
... Turns out rito crossed the streams or something so Clash crashed.
r/lol took it well.
smol indie companies all around
rapid bobcat
@vagrant niche wow what a move to get Kyky on the team
onyx shore
i wonder why people blame kyky instead of tairong
rancid crest
Dallas vs Boston match was really well played by dallas
fresh turret
Houston Outlaws played some of the worst Overwatch I've seen in the league
onyx shore
are we gonna abandon akm unit and convert into fleta unit?

lots of good players aren't in OWL yet. Also, it's not easy to predict how well a player will perform in the OWL environment
The pleyer that wasn't in OWL in stage 1 that people wanted the most to be picked up was AKM
and he didn't exactly dominate
conversely, other players that weren't superstars before the OWL improved massively

so did Houston really play that bad last night? I fell asleep during the game
onyx shore
got 4-0 by shock
torpid charm
Houston and Seoul are really sucking ass
sullen berry
Dynasty and Spitfire
probably the worst matchup I'll see between two korean rosters
previous stages weren't so bad
they even did great last time with a 3-2 loss
this is going to get scrappy or difficult to watch

Houston has completely flipped their lvl of gameplay around from week 1 to 2
They'll have to win every match from here on out
To keep playoff hopes alive
Which team is Houston not playing?
OH NO
Was it Dallas?
It is Dallas
Damn
Oh no
It was seoul
K then
They have the free wins lined up, it's all about beating Excelsior and Fusion
LAV might also pose a threat
silk linden
dallas v houston actually gonna be an interesting match now

I really hope Houston don't just completely slump after 1 bad (horrible) week
This might be just what they do
I remember being excited for them at the start of stage 3 as well
to mediocre success
Also the LA teams aren't playing this stage right?

I want a better team to buy Jehong and keep him on bench until ana meta happens

why does every game get casted by these two
