[rain pewter]

with the new patch and how they started out 0-4 it feels really unlikely for them to buckle up in time in the next 3 weeks

[sullen berry]

they're approach isn't unusual, remember

look at shanghai, they thought they could use this meta to test their D I V E

[feral wing]

Okay whatj ust happened

dallas vs philadelphia

@sullen berry same predictions just that boston gets switched out with philadelphia

[sullen berry]

dallas returning to their former glory is what happened

taimou playing dps properly with Aero nudging him in the right direction

[feral wing]

boston havent been able to adapt to this meta at all

[sullen berry]

and mickie being mickie really

no boston has been really inconsistent as with stage 2

[feral wing]

philadelphia?

[sullen berry]

Philly looked like they made themselves vulnerable

[feral wing]

theyve won all their games so far this stage and then lost to dallas. Thats not inconcistency. That's dallas gitting gud again or philadelphia not preparing enough

[sullen berry]

edited for clarity @feral wing

[feral wing]

thanks

[sullen berry]

I do see loosely similar problems in boston and philly though

I can't quite put it down what way they are lacking but philly has lost maps to shanghai in the past

[feral wing]

anyways philadelphia also beat boston in week 1 of this stage and their map differential is only 2 behind boston so philadelphia have a better shot at making the playoffs

[sullen berry]

only thing keeping uprising up there is series wins, they don't have much of a chance by map differential

[feral wing]

as if they tie then philadelphia most likely move on

I mean

[dry pebble]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zOj7oVbflA

[feral wing]

I highly doubt that philadelphia will drop out of the playoffs

[sullen berry]

@dry pebble that sort of content doesn't belong here

[feral wing]

the only team that can do that is seoul and they have a map differential of +11 and are currently at 19-15 whilst philadelphia are at 21-13

(counting out outlaws as they will most likely not make it no matter what and even if they do they only knock out glads, not philadelphia)¨

[vagrant niche]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/8mfjrh/geguri_the_interpreter_for_our_team_left_before/

more excuses

[feral wing]

there are only 7 teams left that have a realistic shot at making the playoffs

[sullen berry]

I don't keep up with outlaws, so I am not all that surprised judging by their limited dps pool

[feral wing]

I mean, shock CAN make it

[sullen berry]

I'm trying to make my predictions now

[feral wing]

but thats a 0.1% chance

[sullen berry]

shock cannot drop a map for the best chance to make it in

and that's a very doable margin of success they have with crusty

[feral wing]

they need to win their next 6 games 3-1 or 4-0 so they go 20-20 and then hope that glads, seoul and houston lose all of their games so they can tie with glads and win in map differential

is that realistic?

no

not at all

[vagrant niche]

not going to happen

[feral wing]

watch them do it

lol

[sullen berry]

but statistically that exists for them unlike a particular asian, european and western team

[vagrant niche]

they are investing for s2

[feral wing]

I mean for Outlaws they have a much better shot than shock

but its still not a good shot

[vagrant niche]

and i'm sure we are going to see some cuts when the season is over

[feral wing]

if glads go 1-5 in their next 6 matches (unlikely) then houston need to go minimum 3-3 to pass them

glads will most likely go 3-3 or 4-2 and then if glads go 3-3 then houston will need to go 6-0 and hope that seoul dont go 4-2 or better

holy schnitzel Im looking forward to seoul vs gladiators

as if gladiators go 3-2 and seoul go 4-1 coming into that match then they will be at a total tie in terms of win/loss

so its likely that that match will decide who moves on to the playoffs

where did everyone go ;-;

[hazy arrow]

Although I'm super happy about Dallas, lets not get too much ahead of ourselves

Its still just 4 matches

Stage play-offs would be amazing, but that is still far, far away

[feral wing]

are dallas going up against nyxl this stage?

[hazy arrow]

Truth is, there is just one free spot

I think NYXL, LAV and LAG will take first 3 spots

[vagrant niche]

they already went vs xl

[hazy arrow]

The rest will fight for the 4th spot

[vagrant niche]

and lost

[feral wing]

not this stage

[hazy arrow]

Week 3: vs Shock, vs Spitfire

[feral wing]

both are interesting

[hazy arrow]

Week 4: vs Outlaws, vs Mayhem

Week 5: vs Dynasty, vs Valiant

[feral wing]

seoul and valiant

00f

well the seoul rematch will be hype if dallas continue to play like this

[hazy arrow]

Good, so we avoid one of the big tree teams

[feral wing]

br0h its meant to happen

first dallas vs seoul match was in week 1 of stage 1

[hazy arrow]

As Spitfire, Seoul and Outlaws are underperforming

[feral wing]

on the first day

[hazy arrow]

There is a chance

Not a huge one, not a big one

[sullen berry]

I want to know from you guys

[feral wing]

they played against seoul in the third match of the first day

[hazy arrow]

But it is there

[feral wing]

now in stage 4 week 5

[sullen berry]

if the !tracer bot had a command called !matches would that be useful

[feral wing]

they are playing seoul again on the first day in the third match

It would

[hazy arrow]

That match can pretty much send us to play offs (if we of course win the previous matches)

[feral wing]

dallas finally winning against seoul would really show everyone that they're back

after 4 really harsh stages they come back and claim the win they couldnt claim in their first match

the match they lost that sent them spiraling down

[sullen berry]

fuel in the playoffs this season is an option going forward

they won't be if they don't have much geared against spitfire valiant and XL

Overwatch League Schedule for Stage 4 Week 2

[sullen berry]

soon ™

[feral wing]

soon ™ indeed

fuel cant make the playoffs this season

its not possible

but they can make the stage playoffs

[sullen berry]

unlike shanghai dragons winning a match this season

[feral wing]

they will win

[sullen berry]

fuel could be ready to snowball more upsets

[feral wing]

soon ™

[sullen berry]

soooooooon

[feral wing]

they can claim the win against florida

[sullen berry]

careful what you say

when sayaplayer is subbed in for logix

[hazy arrow]

Logix is actually one of the few good FM players

[sullen berry]

they could have taken out dynasty with the help of Logix

but their carry potential has been lost from a mix of support and tank mixups

[feral wing]

but we can all agree

no team has improved more than seoul dynasty

I mean

everyone expected them to be at the top

but look at them now

in 7th place, about to miss out on the playoffs

[sullen berry]

?

[feral wing]

sarcasm

seoul dynasty have gotten worse

[sullen berry]

dallas fuel in the preseason

only had to face against 3 of the 11 teams participating

[feral wing]

to be completely honest shanghai, shock and gladiators have improved the most

[sullen berry]

there was no way that was going to be enough of an indicator of how they would wind up in the actual stages

dallas beat houston in preseason

[feral wing]

shock are a top 7 team imo (maybe top 6). Gladiators are also top 6 and shanghai may still be the worst in the league but they are nowhere near the level of bad they were when the season started

all of them have improved a ton

[sullen berry]

valiant has bounced back faster than most teams with their issues

gladiators pre-stage 2 were least likely to pose a threat throughout the season standings

[feral wing]

If i were to do power rankings on the top 6 just right now it would have to be

1. NYXL
2. Philadelphia Fusion
3. LA Gladiators
4. London Spitfire
5. LA Valiant
6. SF Shock

I know philly just lost to dallas

and dallas may deserve a spot up there

but I cant tell yet

you never know if its just dumb luck etc. or if theyre actually back

Ill have to wait till next week when they go up against shock and london, two teams Ive also placed in my top 6

to see if theyre really that good

(placing valiant lower because of their close matches with boston and seoul, two teams that are not that great atm)

may sound hypocritical since philly lost to dallas lol

but dallas are a wild card atm

[sullen berry]

shock vs fuel will be quite overwhelming for both

it's their last chance to stand amongst the top teams for stage playoffs

[feral wing]

and we know based off their previous games that boston and seoul arent that good this stage

dallas may be a top tier team for all we know

also yeah

dallas vs shock is a pretty big match, not in terms of series wins etc. but more in terms of how they feel when the season ends

[sullen berry]

it's potent, but 2 losses this stage will really shut the door and make Hastr0 re-evaluate and make the players play for their spots next year

[feral wing]

if dallas go 8-2 then that is great

that means they beat either london or seoul (hoping its seoul just because of the meaning of that match)

[sullen berry]

going more than half the stage worth of wins will be a great feat in of itself

[feral wing]

ok so if dallas go 8-2 this stage

[sullen berry]

if you think about which teams they had got the upper hand on: outlaws, mayhem...

[feral wing]

then they lose to glads and most likely either seoul or london

[sullen berry]

that's not going off very much

[feral wing]

and dont have to play nyxl and beat every other team

If that happens then dallas will end on a high note so I highly doubt players will start leaving left and right then

[jagged crater]

if dallas win the stage playoffs i will eat

[feral wing]

you will eat?

good

you need to eat to survive

[jagged crater]

i want to believe

[feral wing]

omg guys

shanghai arent at the bottom of the standings this stage

they are number 11 barely beating out florida in terms of map differential

no way, that must be their greatest accomplishment so far

[sullen berry]

narrowly

[jagged crater]

im actually really happy to see dallas working well recently

[sullen berry]

[feral wing]

anyways

I hope glads go 3-3 the rest of this stage

[jagged crater]

why

[feral wing]

wait

[jagged crater]

dont u want most handsome tank to win

[feral wing]

I hope glads go 3-2 coming into their match against seoul

and seoul go 4-1 coming into that match

if that happens then they will be in a tie and the one who wins the match goes to the playoffs

[jagged crater]

the ultimate question is who will hand shanghai their first win

[feral wing]

either florida or they pull a dallas and beat glads or valiant or something

nvm either glads or london or seoul

[jagged crater]

y7ikes

if seoul lose, it would be soul crushing

rjh already crying

[feral wing]

I swear to god if they pull an upset out of their arse then I will actually cry tears of happiness

for the first time since philly beat london in the stage 2 playoffs

well shanghai are playing seoul next week so we'll see then

[onyx shore]

the possibility of shanghai going 0-40 is real

[feral wing]

it is the most likely outcome

but you never know

florida may hand them a win since florida cant make the playoffs anymore anyways

and they cant really turn this stage into a positive

so florida may quietly throw

[rain pewter]

why would that be beneficial to florida?

[feral wing]

it wouldnt

but they might be nice guys

[rain pewter]

then i don't think they'll do that

[feral wing]

and dont want shanghai to go through the depression of going 0-40 in their first season

[rain pewter]

personally, i wouldn't see it as a nice gesture, even

it'll actually be the worst kind

[feral wing]

well shanghai wouldnt find out nor would anyone else so

[rain pewter]

eh, i say if shanghai has to rely on a team throwing to not get 0-40

[feral wing]

we wouldnt know either if they did

[rain pewter]

they might as well have gone 0-40 anyway

[feral wing]

not really

shanghai dragons have improved the most out of anyone and them still going 0-40 after improving that much would be devastating for everyone involved

even the team handing them that loss would feel sorry

[rain pewter]

if they still go 0-40 even after improving that much

then well

they haven't improved enough

i get that people want shanghai to have a feels good moment

[feral wing]

the mental effects of going 0-40 would be enough for most of them to quit esports forever

[rain pewter]

but OWL shouldn't be about feels good moments

it should be about earning what you worked for

[feral wing]

shanghai dont deserve to go 0-40

[rain pewter]

if shanghai doesn't deserve to go 0-40

they'll win

[feral wing]

and theyve earned a win in my book based on how much they have improved

[rain pewter]

and not go 0-40

it's as simple as that

[feral wing]

no its not.

[rain pewter]

it actually is

[feral wing]

nope.

[rain pewter]

the teams and their caliber in the tourney are what sets them as who they are

if shanghai is as what people say

then they WILL NOT go 0-40

they'll show us that they aren't a 0-40 team

[feral wing]

''it should be about earning what you worked for''

they've worked this entire season for a win and if they dont get one even with that much hard work most of their players will quit esports forever and no one wants that

they may be a 0-40 team but that doesnt mean they deserve to go 0-40

thats my take on it.

[rain pewter]

eh

[feral wing]

cya.

[rain pewter]

i guess that's where we just split it i guess

my take on it is

[tight vault]

Dallas deserves to be a 0-40 team

[rain pewter]

if shanghai leaves because they can't handle being 0-40

as sad as it is

it only means that other teams will take their place

it's up to them if they want it or not

[feral wing]

their players were never good enough to play in the owl

[rain pewter]

ultimately my stand is still the same

[feral wing]

its the sad truth

[rain pewter]

if they're 0-40 they'll go 0-40

[feral wing]

but they got picked up anyways

[rain pewter]

if they aren't 0-40 they won't

[feral wing]

and coming into the league they probably had a positive mindset etc. because they finally got to do something really big inside the esports scene. then they go 0-40 and really get it handed and force fed to them that they are not good enough for the owl

no one should go through that

thats why even a 0-40 team doesnt deserve to go 0-40

[rain pewter]

then do everything in your power to ensure you don't go 0-40

don't let others hand you a rope

make your own

i trust shanghai is capable of taking care of themselves

[feral wing]

they are doing everything in their power

[rain pewter]

if they're doing everything in their power

and they don't get a win

then they're a 0-40 team

you see where i am going with this?

[feral wing]

ive heard that a thousand times ''if they arent a 0-40 team then they wont go 0-40''

[rain pewter]

it's pretty black and white at least as far as i am concerned

either shanghai does it or they won't

[feral wing]

then you have 0 clue about what going 0-40 will do to their players

[rain pewter]

i definitely don't want shanghai to get a win because people want them to have a feel good moment, that's for sure

i want shanghai to get a win

BECAUSE THEY EARNED IT

[feral wing]

stop using caps

[rain pewter]

they earned every bit of it

and they won't let anyone take that away from them

not one bit

i don't want people throwing shade at shanghai winning because florida or some other team who has no hope of making stage or the final playoffs threw them a buoy

and they say

"eh they just threw that shit so shanghai could feel good about it"

[hazy arrow]

They earn the win if they get more points than the enemy

[rain pewter]

precisely

this should be about merit

[feral wing]

whilst i agree they should earn their win I also believe that no one should go through the mental effects of going 0-40

[rain pewter]

well, i hope shanghai won't get to go through that too

[feral wing]

they should

[rain pewter]

but reality stinks

i mean

it isn't just OWL

there's contenders, there's open division

there's a lot of stories down there that we've never heard of

many of them don't deserve to just lose there and crash out

but, well that's not how life works

[feral wing]

if shanghai go 0-40 then again, most of the players will quit esports

some of them may be future stars

who quit because of this owl experience

[junior pawn]

Giving a free win is nothing but a massive disrespect

[feral wing]

and I dont want that

[junior pawn]

What the fuck is this even

[feral wing]

they Should earn their win but they really need to get one too

[junior pawn]

Just throw the competitive integrity out of the window LOOOOOOL 4Head

[feral wing]

to avoid the mental effects

here we have a classic plat chat entering the conversation

hello there

[junior pawn]

I'm not the one suggesting the craziest of ideas

[rain pewter]

eh, this discussion has gone way too long anyway

i think we both got what each other wants to say

it's just ultimately differences

[feral wing]

again, my opinion is that shanghai should earn their win as that would ultimately be better Im scared for the players mental health if they go 0-40

[rain pewter]

yeah, i got that

i know you got mine too

we just believe in our original points

[junior pawn]

Agent Furry

here we have a classic plat chat entering the conversation

May 27, 2018, 9:27 AM

Thanks for the welcome btw

Glad to know I left this chat for a good reason a year ago

I thought I was curious so I dropped in but eh

This is what I got

[fresh turret]

Dallas looked good last night

[feral wing]

they did

[fresh turret]

I don't wanna get my hopes up but

[feral wing]

#freeshadowburn

[fresh turret]

I kinda do as well

[feral wing]

I mean

maybe we're finally seeing Dallas reFueled

[fresh turret]

It'd be turning a sour season into something sweet

[feral wing]

also the philadelphia SADOburn

finally we're seeing shadowburn im so happy

[fresh turret]

Hoping it's not a fluke

I also do hope that EQO gets playtime

[feral wing]

I wanna see his genji again

I dont really like eqo

[fresh turret]

SDB Gengu could work in this meta better than EQO style

[feral wing]

mostly because he took shadowburn's spot

even though most people agree that shadowburn is better

it must've been the comms I guess

[fresh turret]

Well yeah but EQO is a better player on like 12 heroes than SDB

Maybe exaggerating

[feral wing]

but when dive was really meta they still played eqo on genji over shadowburn

and up until this point they've ran eqo on pharah over sdb too

[fresh turret]

Because eqos Genji-style fit the meta and the Fusion better

[feral wing]

even though we just got it proven to us again

[fresh turret]

The Pharah thing was probably to avoid situations where sdb would need to play something uncomfortable

[feral wing]

shadowburn is up there with the best pharahs

[fresh turret]

Very much so

[jagged crater]

shadowBYURN

[fresh turret]

I think best Pharahs are Agilities, SDB, Libero and maybe Fleta

[feral wing]

I think philadelphia are starting to realize their mistake and dont want shadowburn to leave the team at the end of the saeson

so theyre finally giving him playtime

[fresh turret]

Well he still isn't nearly flexible enough to play flex dps everywhere

[feral wing]

if I was shadowburn then I would want to leave philadelphia and join a different owl team come season 2

[fresh turret]

He has a meh junkrat, amazing Phara and a good Genji with a style that hasn't worked with the meta so far but should work now

[feral wing]

that way shadowburn would actually be a starter again

he has an amazing genji

reee

[fresh turret]

Yeah yeha

It looks like I was talking his Genji down

It's definitely top 3 stuff in the league most of the time

[silk linden]

https://i.imgur.com/QePtTut.jpg

Can Dallas make stage 4 playoffs? Let's think about it.

IMHO they probably still won't be able to beat NYXL, London and LAV, but the others are open matches

[feral wing]

they arent playing nyxl

[silk linden]

Ok then

[feral wing]

this is the time it would be useful to have a

!matches dallas fuel

anyways next week they are playing shock and london

[silk linden]

So their remaining matches are Florida, Houston, Valiant, London, Seoul, Shock

[feral wing]

lets not get ahead of ourselves

remember how everyone though houston would do amazing this stage because of their first week?

they just got 4-0d by shock

[silk linden]

Seoul, Houston, Florida are very much in Dallas' favor at this point though

[feral wing]

remember when everyone thought dallas fuel was back at the start of stage 2?

[silk linden]

The other three not so much

[feral wing]

were they? no

we'll have to wait till next week

[silk linden]

And you can't make playoffs with 4 losses

[feral wing]

after those two amtches

[silk linden]

But maybe you can with 3

[feral wing]

then we'll know if they are actually back or not

[silk linden]

So they gotta manage to beat one of SanFran, lav and London

[feral wing]

veex

[rain pewter]

london has been pretty shaky as of late

[feral wing]

guys

cmon

[silk linden]

You're making an unfair comparison to stage 2 do you realize? That was 1 week where they faced Shanghai. This is already week 2 where they faced Boston and Philly

[feral wing]

dallas have won against one actual good team this stage

we dont know if they're truly back or not

[silk linden]

You're being unfair

[feral wing]

im not

we'll have to wait till next week's matches

to see if dallas are really back or not

[rain pewter]

well, people ARE understandably skeptical

[feral wing]

Im not being unfair at all. there have been several of these cases were some team pulls off an upset and then goes on to go back to their old state of being mediocre at best

[rain pewter]

dallas has pulled that stuff a lot right at the beginning every stage

[feral wing]

houston for example

[rain pewter]

still though

this has been their most prominent showing

[silk linden]

Next thing they beat London and Seoul, and you say "yeah but those teams are shadows of their former selves"

[feral wing]

I wont say that if they beat london and seoul bruv

ok you need to calm down. I dont hate dallas fuel

[silk linden]

Against Boston and Philly you are saying that

[feral wing]

boston arent good this stage

philly are really good this stage so yeah thats a great upset win for dallas

but Ill have to see more from them if Im going to truly believe that they're back to their old self

[silk linden]

Dallas beat Boston because they played well though. It wasn't just Boston underperforming

[feral wing]

eh

boston arent good this stage

[silk linden]

I mean, Taimou is hitting shots

[feral wing]

Veex

[rain pewter]

honestly, i don't think it's going to take the entirety of next week

[feral wing]

please understand that I dont hate dallas fuel

I dont want to see them fail

[rain pewter]

if dallas does well against the shock

[silk linden]

I'm not saying thay

[feral wing]

I just need more proof

[rain pewter]

that's all i need to think that dallas can beat london

[feral wing]

after the case with houston Im skeptical at every mid tier/low tier team pulling an upset

[silk linden]

But your past experience is making you too cautious, and not giving them their proper credit they deserve

Because at this point they are objectively a changed team

[feral wing]

I mean houston beat london and boston in the first week of stage 4 and everyone went crazy saying that houston are amazing

look at them now

Im not being too cautious

I just need more proof

dallas also got swept by glads this stage

[rain pewter]

glads are playing out of their minds though

[feral wing]

Ill need to see the two matches next week

if they do good in those

then I agree

they're back

but if they get swept then I know that I was right in being cautious

[silk linden]

To me it seems like you want specific proof, ignoring what we've seen already which is plenty

[feral wing]

its not plenty

they beat shanghai and boston. One mid tier team and the worst team in the league

[rain pewter]

there's been a lot of ups and downs for many teams involved for the past 3 and a half stages

[feral wing]

then they got swept by glads

[silk linden]

It is in the sense that we've seen how Dallas play now

[feral wing]

and then they pulled and upset over philly

the upset is a start

[silk linden]

And they play well

[feral wing]

but Ill need to see more.

[rain pewter]

apart from dallas in the first 3 stages, florida, shanghai and NYXL

[silk linden]

Regardless of opponents

[rain pewter]

every other team has been hovering in the middle area

going up sometimes, going down sometimes

[feral wing]

I mean dallas took tons of top tier teams to map 5 at the end of stage 2 or 3 I think

stage 2

they took nyxl to map 5 and took a map off london

everyone lost their shit

[rain pewter]

and the week after things went back to the same

[feral wing]

they still went 1-9 in stage 3

my point is that one upset isnt enough proof

[rain pewter]

despite dallas's incredible performance today

[feral wing]

the boston match was a half upset

[rain pewter]

especially on hanamura

people are understandably doubtful

[feral wing]

@silk linden if dallas wins their next 2 matches then Im on board with the hype train

or

not win

but if they do good

if they return to the normal then

well

[rain pewter]

for me i think their match against the shock might just be good enough to make the call

as long as we get that hanamura level performance we saw today

[feral wing]

if they beat shock 4-0 then Im totally on board

3-0 Im half on board

3-1 and Ill need the london match

since shock are worse than philly

[rain pewter]

shock vs london went the full 5 maps

let's not forget that

[feral wing]

I dont agree with that logic

[silk linden]

@feral wing SanFran and London are two teams where I said Dallas will have a hard time though.

[rain pewter]

i mean yeah, team composition and all that

[silk linden]

To be fair

[rain pewter]

just well, something to keep in mind

[feral wing]

just because A beats B and C beats A

it doesnt mean C will beat B

[rain pewter]

i know, i know

[feral wing]

its an indicator sure

[silk linden]

I'm not sure I agree shock are worse than philli

Both those teams are hard to pin down

[feral wing]

Philadelphia have proven more than shock have

even though shock are looking great

[silk linden]

Over the season, yeah

[rain pewter]

i think this has been said already but

fusion did have a relatively easy first 3 matches

[feral wing]

dont bring up that match in stage 3

philly had to play back to back 8 different maps

[rain pewter]

i mean we didn't know until now but we thought boston was going to be hard for philly

[silk linden]

But if you were to face them right now, individually, I'm not sure you could predicted who would give you a harder time

[rain pewter]

in hindsight it turned out to be easier than we thought because boston just dropped off

and then the next 2 matches for philly are florida and shanghai

[feral wing]

I didnt really think boston vs philly would be hard for philly

[rain pewter]

so enough said

[feral wing]

I thought that they would adapt much better to the new meta than boston from the start

when I did my predictions with my friend we both agreed 3-1 to philly. Although a lot of people thought boston would win

[rain pewter]

eh, i was one of those who didn't think boston would struggle this much in the new meta

they haven't played brigitte even once did they

[feral wing]

oh my

next week's matches for philly

OOF

I think next week will prove a lot in terms of where teams are

NYXL vs philly is the first match of next week

[tight vault]

Overwatch League Schedule for Stage 4 Week 2

Developed with LOVE by MoonFire · May 27, 2018, 10:15 AM

[feral wing]

that will prove a lot in terms of where philly stands

[fresh turret]

I hope Houston hasn't tilted off of the planet

[rain pewter]

i feel like their match after that one against NYXL

against glads will be more telling

[feral wing]

so next week we will see a lot of teams show us their positions in this meta. Including: Valiant, Gladiators, Philadelphia and Dallas Fuel

overall a lot of questions will be answered

[silk linden]

Custa watching Mickie play https://i.imgur.com/NQjgc89.mp4

or is there no games being played this week

Week is over

[marble basalt]

go philly

[tight vault]

we make fun of Shanghai but we don't make fun of Florida

[hazy arrow]

Because they at least managed to win a few times

[tight vault]

their still bad

better than me but still bad

[hazy arrow]

Yeah, very likely we can expect changes during off-season

Maybe in the coach stuff, but more likely they will get rid of some players

[tight vault]

can a team quit from the league?

[hazy arrow]

No idea but who would buy a spot in the league for 20mil USD and left after 6 months?

• leave

[tight vault]

Dallas is a good team now, yes or no

[hazy arrow]

Yes

[onyx shore]

need to look at overall stage result

but they are definitely a better team this stage

[feral wing]

@tight vault too early to call

will need to see next week's matches before we can truly see if dallas are a good team now or not

so far they got swept by glads, beat one mediocre team 3-0, beat the worst team in the league 3-1 and then one of the best teams 3-1

the only really huge upset win there is over philadelphia

next week dallas are going up against shock and london

[tight vault]

oh hey Shanghai could win next week

[feral wing]

if they do good there then Im ready to get on the dallas hypetrain

if not then

shanghai are gonna win against seoul

calling it

[tight vault]

nah Houston

[feral wing]

nah seoul

watch it

[tight vault]

both

[feral wing]

lets go

[tight vault]

Shanghai usually takes at least 1 map off of Seoul so

lets make it at least 3 maps

cool story bro

[tight vault]

big baus Pine

[fair fulcrum]

Nice

[silk linden]

Dallas have been playing Brigitte 78% of the time, no other team has played more than 26%. Discuss.

also quick question, why don't Philly play Poko anymore? Hotba has more synergy with Sado? Because I don't see him being much better

[hazy arrow]

"Dallas have been playing Brigitte 78% of the time, no other team has played more than 26%. Discuss." that sounds like one of those exercises you do in class 😄

[silk linden]

yes, we're testing you today. Say dumb shit and you're banned from this channel

here's the thing: tank players are likely better than dps mains at brigitte. But what most teams do now is commit one of their dps to the brigitte, in case they need to switch back to 2-2-2 later on

Only Dallas can have a tank main play brigitte, because they have a dps that can flex to dva

there are probably other dps mains out there who can flex to dva, maybe they should consider that strat

or even flex to main tank, if your main tank is the one who's good at brigitte, though that's very risky

but who knows, maybe players who can flex between roles are gonna be the future

[rare sonnet]

Seagull is winning them games off pure flexibility

That’s awesome

[vagrant niche]

anybody has those stats

that show the % of dps by players on the XL?

[fresh turret]

I do

Wait

Can I embed images here?

[torpid charm]

I cry but good job, Dallas

[paper crag]

so other than while you have your shield up, is there any reason for a brigitte to stop swinging

[supple prism]

To heal with the ability

[paper crag]

true, but that's like a split second

i just feel like brigitte is a very m1+w kinda hero too lol

not that it's a bad thing

but just feels that way

[sour pebble]

Hey

[opaque cargo]

Brig hard counters single individuals

I saw dive work into brigitte, when both tanks jumped her at once

Single D.Va? Dead and gone

Single Genji (with blade heh), obliterated

Single Reinhardt protecting your team without a Zarya bubble at the right time? Bye bye

[native glen]

Dive can work if you run brigitte instead of a tracer or something and just make sure you can shut down' their brig

depending on where in the league or world cup it is used

Yeah but I mean in context of the bot

They didn't give mvp officially to munchkin did they?

[sullen berry]

the rating and the player of the match (sponsored by HP) isn't the same

broadcast will choose one

That's what I'm saying yeahhhh

Also I think D.va ult counter is broken, my guess is that it resets whenever she re-mechs or perhaps when she de-mechs

Or when she respawns

Can we get a Ireland team

i'll play for them

Ireland can't even get into the OWWC

if NA only gets 2 teams. I'd say the most likely are:

1. Toronto
2. Seattle
3. Washington D.C.
4. New York City again

for Asia I'd say the most likely are

1. Beijing
2. Busan
3. Hong Kong
4. Seoul again
5. Tokyo

The more teams thing is because of them wanting more euro teams I believe

[sullen berry]

more euros can't be bad

As long as whichever host country gets the franchise makes it

They can't be worse at management quite like Shanghai
potentially new Euro team is not rushing to get players together for the sake of being the first OW League team

[marsh dagger]

I from Russia!

[lime bridge]

For Euro they stated : Germany / France / Spain / Sweden

So : Berlin / Paris / Madrid / Stockholm ?

Or maybe esports hubs in these countries like Cologne for germany ?

[fresh turret]

Finland is getting in tho right?

[deft valley]

getting in what? World Cup, yes
getting a team, depends on investors more than players

[lime bridge]

Yeah the list I gave was the investors that have been contacted by the OWL. The article is very vague tho 😦

it said scandiavian or nordic countries

my two favorite D.va players 😍

[jagged crater]

Who's the other one

[sand pond]

@jagged crater Geguri and Note

[torpid charm]

I was talking about Note and Bischu, I didn't even peep the Geguri tweet until now

[jagged crater]

No poko?

[torpid charm]

no I love Poko with all my heart

[sullen berry]

I'd love to see team D.Va vs Team fissue carry Winstons post-season

[jagged crater]

Which dva do you not care about

[sullen berry]

Seagull Mickie Note Bischu Poko and Space

:<

I care about them ALL

they just have to be benched

[jagged crater]

No mention of meko fury and zunba!

[sullen berry]

they'd make the best substitutions

zunba I reckon on Lijiang and Numbani at least

fury can replace either fuel tanks because fuel

vs Fragi, Fissure Gamsu Gesture OGE and Super

that would be a stacked team

[jagged crater]

Least memorable dvas

Mannetan and mg?

[sullen berry]

rip MG

I'm not sure if he's playing D.Va

when he pops off more on roadhog

how about an alt tank lineup: taimou, jehong, roshan, eqo, surefour and zappis

[torpid charm]

stop, Manneten is good. MG was so shit at D.va but shined when playing Hog

[sullen berry]

I consider MG as pure an off-tank as there can be

[torpid charm]

I doubt Poko will be benched forever

[sullen berry]

I found it

one of the games where Gladiators switched roles midgame

[jagged crater]

The one on illios?

[sullen berry]

Where hydration was on lucio and shaz on tracer

yeah, i knew it was during fissure's early games

[jagged crater]

One where hex comments then playing mystery heroes

[sullen berry]

that's the one 😄

a sign that fissure was going to be their snowball to breaking out of the bottom ladder

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/239275259 watch from the 2h mark

this should prove that what you need in comp play is a solid tank line

either that or gladiators used this as an exhibition match after biggoose popping off as sombra

Fastest King's row match as sombra @1:22:44

We here in the age of the blue fire now

[sullen berry]

only thing I need to tell people about stage 1

Uprising rose against the spitfire

I am really going to enjoy all these matches, despite the infinite disadvantages facing shanghai vs any opponent

[hybrid helm]

Wtf? NYXL will eat philly 3-1 imo

Seoul yea 3-1 to shanghai because Seoul never 4-0 anything lol they don’t “overkill” haha

[sullen berry]

I'm more inclined to believe NYXL can't afford to lose to fusion using actual strategy they'll save for season & stage playoffs

NYXL doesn't have an incentive other than bragging rights to need this win

they are automatically given a bye into the first week of season playoffs

[brazen mango]

I've been looking for owl league matches to watch but I can't find any

[sullen berry]

where have you been looking? I use the overwatch league app

links are in the description for #esports-discussion to the OW League Twitch which is easier to browse at length imo

[warped axle]

r/overwatched

[hybrid helm]

I prefer watching on YouTube usually less ADs and easier to browse during the video.. like going 10 seconds backwards to see a funny moment again

[brazen mango]

Why are the casters for NA from EU

[hybrid helm]

Because they don’t want NA English 😜

[brazen mango]

omg

EU and their fancy words

[ruby pendant]

Dynasty need to improve, they are losing their chance of making it to the finals. The hard work in the beginning to have a decent spot is going away.

I don't know if it's the players, management, or both but something has to improve for the overall success of the franchise.

[brazen mango]

Why

[ruby pendant]

@brazen mango lol, what do you mean why?

[brazen mango]

why does it matter if they make it or 🙅

Not*

[ruby pendant]

@brazen mango If you're a fan of Dynasty it matters!! That's enough of a reason!!!

[brazen mango]

Idk who I like still

does optic have a team

[limber pine]

Optic owns the Houston team

[brazen mango]

oh

why isn't it called optic

[deft valley]

because sports league imitation

[brazen mango]

wuy

Wut

[limber pine]

Blizzard made the teams rebrand for exclusivity

[silk linden]

What if Dallas not having to play NYXL this stage is actually a bad thing for them, because NYXL don't care about winning or losing anymore at this point

[brazen mango]

that's pretty dumb

[hazy arrow]

NYXL is one of the three team going to stage play-off and very likely will lose only to one of the two other teams

Its good for us that we miss them

Anyway, the latest Dallas Fuel's On The Watch gave me hope

Aero is a God

USA are lucky that they can be managed by two excellent coaches

Or by a comedian 😄

[tight vault]

Shanghai map win today

[brazen mango]

I live in dallas so go dalas

Dallas

[foggy quail]

Shanghai will pick up 2 maps today I promise

[deft valley]

Stage playoffs aren't 3-team

Haven't been in stage 3 either

[sullen berry]

@brazen mango I wouldn't have known about EnVyUs before they rebranded to the Dallas Fuel, but that's the whole point

[brazen mango]

envy is fuel?

[lilac atlas]

Yes, well thats the organization that owns them. Its just that they rebranded for the OWL

Outlaws under Optic Gaming

I think Mayhem under Misfits

[limber pine]

yes

Shock is NRG

[lilac atlas]

Valiant is Immortals

[brazen mango]

wtf

[silk linden]

Boston Uprising is New England Patriots

Philadelphia Fusion is Comcast

NYXL is the New York Mets I think? Lemme check

yep

Spitfire is Cloud 9

[hazy arrow]

4:0

Sorry

[tight vault]

0: 92

[sullen berry]

Yall just learned about this now, I'm impressed how far these city names have reached out tbh

Misfits were, for lack of better understanding, the best EU players when reinforce was still a player

They knew how to pop off back then

[silk linden]

yes, and Chipshajen and Ryujehong have at some point been the best players in overwatch

not every old school name has carried through

right now the best overwatch player in the world is some guy who was doing well on ladder and never played a major tournament before joining OWL

[sullen berry]

^

He got balls to grind like that and make his reputation from that alone

I look forward to the day someone on this server is quietly contracted into the OW League

[silk linden]

pros used to hang in this server a looong time ago

[tight vault]

pros?

[vagrant niche]

yo bois, who is ready for another week of excitement?

[forest wharf]

[fast cove]

xddd

[ruby pendant]

It would be funny if Dragons beat Dynasty

lol, they would have to change the entire roster!

[forest wharf]

would not count on it though, no matter how bad seoul's been playing recently lol

way to stay relevant bren

[ruby pendant]

@forest wharf I would like for Dynasty to improve

However, it seems they are in disarray.

[red wyvern]

I'm rooting for NYXL Because they're closer to me and they're cool dudes

[balmy wolf]

Huh, SDB is starting today.

[gritty yacht]

It's Wednesday my dudes.

[forest wharf]

earned his spot back

[vagrant niche]

HOLY CRAP

ITS SHADOWBENCHED

[forest pine]

Guys add me on snap i give free loot box

[gritty yacht]

That sounds creepy.

Like the Overwatch version of the candy van

[forest wharf]

no thanks dont want dick pics

[forest pine]

Why i cant send pic

[gritty yacht]

"psst kids want some loot boxes? snap me"

[forest wharf]

hard pass

[forest pine]

La zobe

[gritty yacht]

Texas sized hard no.

Whoa

Carpe

[forest pine]

Toxic players

[red wyvern]

carpe tho

[vagrant niche]

GODAM

no chill

[red wyvern]

Tracer's body just fucking snapped indentaly

[gritty yacht]

I'd like to fire uhm, a graviton surge at her, and uhhh, indent uhm, my mass into her?

Yeah.

That's my pick up line.

[forest wharf]

lul they just completely ignored brigitte

[ruby pendant]

Why isn't brigitte haven't an impact on Excelsior?

Thought she was suppose to disrupt Excelsior style of play??!

[forest wharf]

looks like theyre just staying away from her so she cant do anything

[gritty yacht]

Libero is good at staying alive.

[balmy wolf]

If you're as good as NYXL, you can play around a Brigitte.

[gritty yacht]

Jinxed

[balmy wolf]

Oof SBB

[ruby pendant]

lol

@forest wharf @gritty yacht @balmy wolf you guys are right, they are too good.

[gritty yacht]

XL is a very good team.

[forest wharf]

and this is them barely trying because they already won the season pretty much so it doesnt even matter

[fair cipher]

Can someone explain how u get league tokens from watching the game?

from what it seems you get 1 token per game you watch

[forest wharf]

1 token per map

[marsh pumice]

man this meta is killing me, i no longer feel the urge to play ow like before

[balmy wolf]

Oh no Boombox

[fair cipher]

what if i just leave my computer on over night?

[forest wharf]

and just connect your battletag to twitch

[marsh pumice]

im even playing fornite more, i installed it again and even got the battlepass, so yeh ow is fading away for me

[forest wharf]

err link

[balmy wolf]

You can leave it overnight

[fair cipher]

lul

[balmy wolf]

But you have to stay on the screen

You can't lock your desktop

And you can't mute the stream

but you can mute your computer

[fair cipher]

what if i am typing on discord with twitch unmuted does taht still count?

so it aint the window i am focused on

[forest wharf]

pretty sure thats fine, i havent had any issues getting coins when i have it open on another monitor

[fair cipher]

noice

and there is a chance i could get 100 tokens, do you know the likelyhood of that?

[gritty yacht]

I heard there's a guy here who will give you loot boxes if you give him your snapchat handle or number or whatever

[ruby pendant]

@fair cipher lol

@gritty yacht haha

[forest wharf]

its random, dont think theyve said anything about the chance of it

[fair cipher]

i read that it said random people will get 100 tokens after a map

[gritty yacht]

Yea it's random.

[fair cipher]

wuts the lol @ruby pendant

[gritty yacht]

Don't know the percent

[marsh pumice]

a big loot box

[gritty yacht]

You might get one, probably not, but you'll still get to watch some sweet Overwatch action.

[forest wharf]

but ive gotten like 5 100 drops and i only watch like 1/3 of the games

[gritty yacht]

I don't care about cosmetic items in any way so I don't log in to get tokens.

[balmy wolf]

JJonak best sniper in OWL

[marsh pumice]

i love cosmetics but on ow i don't really care to be honest
