the day we lose OW Contenders will be the day we have lost some amazing OW team logos
that's an adorable logo
playoff break is so long
someone recommended lengthen break between stages but decrease time between playoffs
good idea, stages seem way too short for teams to adjust to new meta
can't overlap with football world cup
^
Here are the 7 players representing Team Canada for the OWWC group stages!
🇨🇦 #NorthStrong 🇨🇦
Stay connected: https://t.co/ggC7U73L34
!tmobilemvp xQc
no Joemeister 
who
that one OWL guy who's never played
philly fusion's actual master chef
exactly
it's time for him to put down the apron so he can pick up the keyboard and mouse
joemeister, first to to the fusion house, actually around during preseason, didnt even get a game played on stage ever. FEelsbadman
xD
Wasn’t he on team Canada last year
yes
I remember that from esports
Just because there’s less mods here than g-d doesn’t mean you can shitpost
thats exactly what it means
Seeing as his message is deleted and he's muted, no, no it evidently does not
still missing Brazil, Spain, Sweden, and Thailand's final 7
unless somebody heard something I didn't
you got a link to the Thailand one?
and idk if i've seen one for Spain (other than the 8)
Page doesn't exist?
WutFace
They don't have a current roster I believe but I see all their choices
The embed is there but the tweet was deleted
idk
wonder why
that's the $39.99 question
@night copper I don't know why you're posting a random link to a R6:S group, but please don't

rip danteh
casualty of the sniper meta
IF it wasnt for joemeisters clutch rez canada would have lost against aussie, and then Sweden would have won against aussie and gone to the finals
why does dallas suck
eh, they're not as bad as they used to be in Stages 1/2/3
they were a victim of shitty management and bad coaching
@quiet phoenix don't spam invite links
WAAH
Where is Sleepy?
thiccus better perform cause i'm salty no Sleepy
I swear if the weak link for US is thiccus...
i'm going to PJSalt
@brisk roost yo boi better put up and take reponsability
Sleepy would shit on everyone why is he not on the roster
Rawkus using his connections well i see
Sleepy is like the best western zen with no contest
When does the World Cup start?
People asuming Stuff with Out knowing anything
Cringe @spring lintel
:)
If the USA tryouts are so.rigged
You know what cringe means?
Picking Sleepy without trialing would be more logical lmfao
Why did they not trial him?
you think they dont know how Bad ppl think about Rawkus?
They Had tryouts Dude
Like legit tryouts
They tried sleepy??
Don't assume Stuff when you know nothing
I am not assuming stuff lmao
They Had 20+ Players in Teams that trialed
Sleepy is better no question
"Rawkus using his connections well i see"
It’s a joke
Yeah so good
They just like the guy more
Not necessarily rigged
They Had 20+ Players that trialed
Doesnt matter
And.the Coach is aero
A Really good and Well known Coach with a Lot of.success
Winning contenders NA
I know
And Coaching Dallas in the Playoffs
So i doubt He would Pick Somebody because He Likes him more
In the trials they are probably both similar
He doesnt
Sleepy is better
In every shape and form
Best western zen
Sleepy frags with his trash ass team lul
Why aint he on the roster then? I think Rawkus performed better in the tryouts or something Like that, otherwise there is no logical explanation cause Sleepy clearly played better in OWL Season 1
Shock aint Trash
They are Solid
At the start they were
Like i doubt they would have picked Rawkus unless He did crazy good in the Trials
Yes at the start
Cause.nomy
And dhak
And sleepy still fragged
Unless he did crazy good at the trials or the coach likes him more
Doubt it's the Like thing
I doubt it’s not
I think He legitimate outperformed him in Trials
No way rawkus preforms better than sleepy lul
There is the other explanation that the coach likes him
You doubt it but it’s possible
And they Had Trials
Give me one proof
That is Just Fan boying you are doing Türe
There
They Had tryouts that we're legit
Well See in Worldcup
Oi Mate i think you overrate Sleepy quite A Lot
He is good
Yes
But Rawkus was better until His dad died (around Stage 2)
After that His performance Fell Off a Lot
Maybe He found.is old Skill or something
Still think He got His Spot legit
And when you have no Proof of the Coach liking Thing don't act Like it's the truth
I wanna play scrims
I don't wanna grind this stupid ranked all day and meet boosted dps mains
193

kaiser s2 owl please
@vagrant cargo oh look https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/8xu7e7/sleepy_on_his_comms/?st=JJGFSWI8&sh=9e27a2a6
@brisk roost who you rooting for?

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
🇦🇺
@spring lintel calling San Francisco Shock ''trash'' omegalul

Dam
@long patio No server invites
Oh ok ok
@vagrant cargo i meant see the comments
No one thinks he deserves it over sleepy
Rawkus isnt bad but he is not as good as sleepy.
If you think so 
and Roadhog
yeah I guess with only 7 going you want more flexability
but Sleepy is the better Zenyatta
today is the day

But that's the purpose of the 7th player
Not your off support
Unless they meant flex support then ya
almost all teams' 7th man is a DPS
and none of them is flexible to everything
you ultimately want flexibility from all of your roster
That's crazy

i wonder if my wife will let me watch on the tv
But who cares Cause I can just use a smart tv and link it to my comp and watch on twitch
But just remember people. OWL is dying.
Dying so much they signed a multi-network viewer deal.
😦
so much dying
b-but mark cuban said fortnite is taking over
how's FN esports coming along?
Fortnite Esports OMEGALUL
Overwatch itself is dying
But the bigger the hype the harder and faster it dies, ie fornite and battle royale
Fortnite has to be terrible to watch when it's down to <15 ppl
Everybody sits in their base and waits for the circle to come in
Apparently PUBG is ok
I'm surprised that Disney even agreed to it considering the overstock community
Er overwatch
Have they? Didn't know that

if overwatch was a dead game there wouldn't be esports for it
it’s huge but fickle as fuck
The kids market will switch based on where the overall group is going. Also needs to be easy and make them feel special...
That's why BR games are going to be a mess by next year..it will be so oversaturated with BR games the kids won't be in big groups anymore
Sweet, ESPN picked this up
and no one cares about abc
If this does really well, this will be huge for esports in general
@pearl stratus Besides ESPN, what else would Disney offer?
LIterally everything.
Think about what Disney owns.
Does well?
Cool, here's Marvel Skins.
Here's Jedi Genji.
If Disney sees money in it.. They will want to spend into giving it more publicity
Since Overwatch League will be broadcast on ESPN and ESPN is owned by Disney that means Geguri is a Disney princess, sorry I don't make the rules- The first tweet i see when i look Overwatch league up on twitter
Here's a random af Lego OW game.
@tight vault LOL
Here's Thanos Doomfist.
Donald duck dva
I'm saying if they see money in it, its possibilities.
k, would be sweet though
Disney owns like half of the mainstream entertainment content at this point.
If not more than half.
But that depends greatly on if blizzard can keep the owl and games acceptable to Disney's censors
heck
They're not far off right now.
They've sworn once, and they got permission through the proper channels for it.
But you know a lot of the community would hate that
And TV can't see the pro-choice abortion rally that is Twitch Chat.
No one cares about the current gamer community.
They're fickle twats.
From a growth standpoint the current market is already bitchy and whiny, the amount of people you'll potentially lose versus the money you gain?
Astronomically different.
how many people will stop watching espn is the real question lul
Broadcasting means advertising, etc, etc.
Someones paying to fill those commercial slots.
@pearl stratus how long do you think Overwatch popularity would last?
It's got time, there's nothing competitive on the market right now.
Been thinking they are investing based on Barclay grand finals being sold out
Paladins is a joke.
@ruby pendant until the next boost in hardware creates a better engine for games
They've got their niche for the moment.
@green stump haha, when is that??!
Exactly
Oof
Ovl on tv
we saw
already posted dang it
DisNEy xD
XD I win! I was first
nice
Epic has announced an 8-week Fortnite tournament series featuring $8 Million dollars in prize money, with a $250,000 duos event this weekend. Pro players and content creators will be chosen as the competitors. Fortnite esports is just beginning. https://t.co/iELb2DNfE5
The ultimate test of if popularity can turn into esports sustainability
They will get viewers yes, but this is all based more on the content creators, not the pro players
The streamers and etc are way more important than the pros. And the moment those content creators are eliminated, so will a chunk of viewers
So what happens when "pro-only" tournaments happen
Only their fans will watch, but those are older players who respect skill more than personally
Er personality
What they are doing is basically 'baiting' more content creators. They want more players to make fortnite content as publicity. More fans, more kids, etc. Get it so it takes over streaming services. Completely monopolize the streamers who all wait for the tournament so they can get the players. They get a big reward if they win, and epic games gets hundreds of new free publicity from the streamers and content creators
Easy peasy
And best of all, none of them will leave because they want to qualify for the tournament...
Ninja is like...
70% of Fortnite.
If he doesn't tourney its going to have issues.
There's already some people who are upset that they haven't got invites yet
whoever TFue and Cloak are
Epic would be incredibly stupid to not include Ninja
Or logan paul
Yea ninja or shroud
Hey i am new i bought Owerwatch yesterday
we back on the groove today bois!!!
sadly i can't cheer for Fuel or Mayhem 
good luck to everybody's team out there
if nyxl don't win there is no god
Uprising is like the cursed bunch
We will see tonight
Knowing their discipline going into a double sniper meta, they have a chance a semis
OWL timing says in 3 hours. I'm working.
😔
Have fun with #esports-spam
I'll be home by then...but I got a DND game tonight so I won't be watching all of it
I doubt Boston will stray from what they already know
Hi guys. Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I'm an editor with an esports publication and I'm just wondering if any of you are interested in a writing internship to write about esports. We're looking for individuals with strong writing skills and a deep knowledge of a particular esports title. We have openings for several games and Overwatch is one of them. These are remote positions with fixed pay on a per-article-basis and the chance to move into a more significant role in the future.
Not sure if this is the right place for that, but you should talk to the channel owners first for the permission to draft it's residents. @meager inlet
@limber pine what to do about this?
are the playoffs today?
don't forget today, your daily pasta
ResidentSleeper Justice For Sleepy ResidentSleeper
We are on the Hanzo Patch @vagrant niche
And i say Carpe is going to Carrie Philly to the semis

OW league is showing up on the guide for any of the channels it's supposed to be on (using Mediacom)

yo

I just hope Boston's up to speed on the patch they're on
u can hear surefour trying not to laugh while saying this shit
I kind of wish I was recording the Disney XD airing so I could go back and count bleeps
JJONAK 
Mistakes for how he stepped up
no doubt
I wonder if he's incarcerated yet
dreamkazper for getting dropped and letting the rest of Boston show that they're actually good too
yikes
- drop dreamkazper
- undefeated in stage
- MVP?
oh hey we're still making dreamkazper jokes
he saw other players getting dropped for poor conduct and was just like "hold my beer"
it's never too early for dreamkazper
oh wait, wrong wording there
oh no, actually correct wording
got em
i love how twitch chat is just completely random currently, like it's always random but currently it's even more random
everything is in there, from american flags, over
, over
, over copypastas
I watch on the OWL site. this is my twitch chat
lets watch it on TV... cause we're all babyboomers
it's cold here but also too warm to turn the heater on 
Pine looks like someone I used to work with
what job



interesting
what patch are they playing on now? same as in last stage?
englond
lol puckett was proud of that 1
in the Watchpoint just before this everyone said philly
they've got new Hanzo, but not new Symm I believe
well doesnt matter because (at least that's what i think) sym still wont find a place in the pro scene
oh i just hope they'll stop with those cringy entrances
man is every match gonna be hyped like this... its a little excessive
pls no crowd mics
oh jesus fucking christ no. this asian chick in the middle of the front row
we E sports, E for "everyone" rating 
that's the girl that keeps screaming for profit
wait he said attack for one of them and damage for the other
she started screaming 

get mics, away from the crowd, PLEASE
no one wants to hear them scream some cringey one-liner stinger ZINGG jokes
not as hype as i was 3 weeks ago for some reason
I should buy some sort of inaugural season merch before it's gone
95k viewers for playoffs is a bit underwhelming too
put too much into mountain biking this spring
tbh
they didnt really advertise it much
maybe people are watching it on ESPN3/DisneyXD instead of Twitch?
Wait, are they not using hanzo patch? That’s too bad
What patch are they using?
ptr
Hanzo/Sombra tweaks?
Oh I’m using mobile, I went to discord right when they started using storm arrows
getting rolled and SMOKED
what
striker doing his pacifist run of overwatch
This is upsetting to watch. I’m not even a Boston fan and this hurts.
are these 70 damage storm arrows?
Seems so
MLG strats
wow Boston struggling
You wouldn’t understand
dominant
Old Boston 
stage 4 Boston more like
Welp
yoikes
Give Fragi pls
cool musec
I know Boston is a college town
good knowledge
But I don’t remember them giving THAT many full rides
too bad if i like this song... no way in hell im gonna find it on spotify
$60
is this playoff music
also $40
oh 1-0
wait tracer can recall out of a pulse bomb stick?
yeah
im liking this mix of comps
not always widow/hanzo
mercy still 100% tho, zen is like 95%
ooh that halt
NOICE
and not a brig in sight...lol
thank god
speak of the devil
oh hai
carpe counter switch LOL
that's i say counter switch
lol
because he switched off of tracer
na casters
who's much worse vs brigitte compared to widow
last game he was insane
he's ups and he's downses
lol alt tab on the main screen
only 100k viewers, feels a bit low for start of the playoffs
115K
was very little marketing
i didnt even remember when the playoffs were gonna be on
Yeah ass viewership
okay-ish
philly steamrolled the first map
nothing too cool
at least they got new intermission music
Stage playoffs hit 140k-160k easy
alright, that's good didn't miss too much then
I think I saw a popup that they landed Spotify as a sponsor
that'd be a hilarious way to announce a new map
Lucio's new album with Sombra
is this Despacito2??
Debuts new map in finals
despacito lmao
It's a remixed track from soldier's cunematic
Please just play the music when you find a comp game at the finals
jesus carpe...calm down
Carpe mad he could lose
He won't back down
And will not show it
But these mirror comps smh
Neither teams ready to show their bag of comp tricks until next match from the looks of things
WHO'S BETTER THAN FISSURE? iRemix apparently.
Wewlad
i think it's bs
fissure should absolutely play
he carried that team out of the swamp on his shoulders
he deserves to be with them to the end
"best chance to win"
yeah right, tell that to 4-6 stage one gladiators
wins 1 game 100% WINRATE REEEE
Maybe he hasn't been doing so well in scrims
dual music... lets go
I'm pretty sure the Gladiators are a fucking joke
why is twitch chat spamming HeyGuys
and im craving a toyota
lul
Where do we check overwatch league stats??
i'm confused. they're talking volskaya then I look up and it's eichenwalde
oh man those auto captions on twitch are so bad... they can't get a single sentence right
the issue with twitch cc is that youtube can do them in advance so they aren't delayed but twitch can't
is this scatter or storm hanzo?
storm
storm
nice
orisa bongos had like one hp, why not get rid of it immediately?
tire doesn't contest rip
Yeah but I'm still salty eqo replaced sdburn
yeah but eqo is really good
they both deserve the playtime
eqo just flexes so much further than 3 heroes though
so...boombox is a hooker
full dive
orisa/dva/hog is so antidive though
WHAT YEAR IS THIS
so close
that was beautiful
HOW do u LOSE tyhat

DIVE IS BACK BOIS
I mean dive is super quick by nature @wet oyster

This is with new Hanzo, right?

LA Gladiators Fissure is not playing tonight. Source: Fissure was unhappy with players on the team not trying hard enough in scrims as preparation for the playoffs and stopped communicating in the scrims. Gladiators chose to play iRemiix instead.

LUL
Because I am the only Boston fan here
I feel like I am
Fight you philly asshowls
Fissure must have literally killed someone to get benched for the Gladiators in playoffs.
Gladiators hamstringing their own playoffs hopes and simultaneously tanking Fissure’s trade value.
Unbelievable decision.
672
oh boi
i didn't want to sleep tonight anyways
tonight is Drama time
I’ll fight any philly fans here
we should make our own league
Fans happy with their team
Guy coming in and telling them to suck a dick
please respect other team and we Will respect you
no
carpe deserved that
I am not like that
Danny 
shoulda been eqo tbhimo
Boston should have won
the one whose city PD has to grease light posts for sporting events
eqo was pounding
"that" being a decent person?
@zealous venture why
now I’m tilted and can’t play
no they shouldn't have lol have you actually seen the match
@unkempt palm TRUE
`Hotba is secretly dps main.
Neptuno is not so secretly dps main.
Everyone on Fusion is a dps main.`
LMAO
^^^^^^
Fusion is my solo q team except good
😆
the worst part about this match is that people will point to it when they don't want to heal in Comp
Carpe is my spirit animal
