POG

[gaunt acorn]

@cold plover huh?

do you mean vancouver?

[cold plover]

yes

sorry

im dumb

[gaunt acorn]

yeah, we've discussed it quite a bit

as a vancouverite, it'd certainly be cool to have them represent us

however i don't think the pink colours are happening

[sullen berry]

Somehow Toronto and Vancouver are really confusing to non-canadians

🗒 🖋

[gaunt acorn]

[copper solstice]

i know the different atleast like which side is which is on.

Vancouver is West and Toronto is on East

[cold plover]

vancouver runaways dont sound that bad though

[gaunt acorn]

i very much doubt their branding will have anything to do with runaway

but still, sounds cool, yeah

[queen drift]

Runners would have been cool and fit with the owl theme

Vancouver Runners

[gaunt acorn]

yes but no team is going to name their permanent branding after their original roster

you can't just change the team name if you trade away the runaway players 2 yrs down the line or something

the point of the original franchise clause is to prevent this exact situation

so there's no affiliation to existing orgs or teams

it must be entirely original

i mean, you probably know this and just want to mention how it would sound cool

but just for the people that don't understand that, i guess

[queen drift]

^^

i hope we see the new soldier changes in owl

[gaunt acorn]

did anyone else enter that nyxl survey/raffle

said i got entered for 600 owl tokens and some merch

the survey was pretty long, though

like 10 mins long

[tawny sigil]

did they forget to stop the fucking rerun?

oh why is it happening 2 hours later today

god damn inconsistency

[queen drift]

I don’t get why they stop the rerun at all

I’d rather have it on constantly so I can drop in and watch

Link @gaunt acorn ?

@queen drift this one, i meant

[tawny sigil]

match are 2 hours later cause the baguettes are not out of the oven till that time during weekend.

[queen drift]

@gaunt acorn just finished it

Took 30m not 10 for me 😂

[gaunt acorn]

maybe i was a little conservative on the time it took

i kinda lost track

[queen drift]

Maybe

I was pretty in depth

[gaunt acorn]

i was too

i wanted those tokens

[queen drift]

Money hoe

I already have the NYXL skins of the heroes I play haha

[nova wadi]

damn germany

kodak did that so well

[visual glen]

kkodak

[idle agate]

map 5 lets gooo

[nova wadi]

germany playing much better than yesterday against NL

[molten dew]

Wait, how quick did poko build that grav?!

[gaunt acorn]

poko-fast

[long cove]

I wish they did console division

[torpid charm]

Dray told me to come in here

Poko is amazing

[gaunt acorn]

[long cove]

Not come pared to shudder or necros

[gaunt acorn]

console isn't really a viable path for growing a successful esport

it's only really had limited success in smaller cases like halo, cod

[long cove]

Well, the game is ded

On console

[gaunt acorn]

nowadays pc gaming is the top dog

[long cove]

Sleeper

[gaunt acorn]

and will likely remain that way indefinitely

[long cove]

Sleeper

[torpid charm]

I’m a console player, it sucks but I love it

[gaunt acorn]

personally i think pc allows a higher tier of play

[nova wadi]

F

[gaunt acorn]

so it's the opposite of sleeper, as a spectator

[nova wadi]

guess the screen is fucked now

[long cove]

Like overwatch on console

[torpid charm]

I agree, Dray

[long cove]

It feel neglected

[gaunt acorn]

didn't they do the ptr pharah changes in part due to console

[long cove]

Two updates

And it took them 2 years

[torpid charm]

FIX THE STREAM

[gaunt acorn]

stream work fine

[nova wadi]

no lol

[gaunt acorn]

other than

3rd person

[nova wadi]

we have to look via that screen omegalul

[gaunt acorn]

it's cozy

[tawny sigil]

ghetto stream!!!!

[nova wadi]

the stream is fucked

[long cove]

What

[gaunt acorn]

camera men went on strike

[long cove]

What’s happening

[gaunt acorn]

it's france

dray

[gaunt acorn]

@long cove

world cup qualifiers

[nova wadi]

who won

[gaunt acorn]

france

[nova wadi]

sad

[torpid charm]

LMAO

[nova wadi]

germany deserved it

[gaunt acorn]

france had poko

[nova wadi]

germany had kodak that did really well last few matches

mei aye

happy to see her more

[gaunt acorn]

it's 4 am. poko is in your house with a grav.

kkodak popped off, yeah

[torpid charm]

I miss Poko

[gaunt acorn]

insider leaks

poko traded ?

[torpid charm]

No def not

[gaunt acorn]

[haloofthoughts] anonymous source: poko traded from fusion

[torpid charm]

But I did hear that Dallas wanted both Poko and Hotba

[gaunt acorn]

dallas likes french boys

[torpid charm]

Or I think it was Dallas

Yeah

[nova wadi]

i feel bad for NL tho

we gotta play against UK today

[torpid charm]

That French Connection plus Hotba is pretty solid

[gaunt acorn]

i think fuel will pursue mcgravy for off-tank instead

he's on their academy team so

seems like a smart move

[torpid charm]

That would be a smart move frfr

[gaunt acorn]

mcgravy is certainly a capable off-tank

i'm nervously excited my city is getting runaway

i think the coaching staff has a lot of work to do, to get them up to par with owl teams

[long cove]

What happened

[torpid charm]

LMAO everyone is pissed about it

[gaunt acorn]

runaway to vancouver

all but confirmed

[long cove]

I never got to seethe

[gaunt acorn]

who is pissed

[long cove]

Broken stream

[gaunt acorn]

korean fanbase

[torpid charm]

No the opposite of the Korean fan base

[gaunt acorn]

oh

everyone i saw from north america seemed to like the news

that they finally got into owl

but atm runaway is like, a mid-tier owl team

certainly not candidates for playoff champions yet

especially against teams with an entire year of owl experience

[torpid charm]

Someone in Fusioncord was like “wow I can’t believe Vancouver is going full Korean, guess I’m rooting for Shock”

Very true

[gaunt acorn]

i hope they beef up their coaching staff

i heard a.. certain philly coach is being signed

[torpid charm]

Stoooooop

[gaunt acorn]

but yeah

[torpid charm]

STOOOOOOOP

[gaunt acorn]

as much as i love runaway, they're once again the underdogs

gonna need some serious bootcamping

to make it in season 2

[torpid charm]

I lost 3 boys, I don’t wanna lose a coach

Yeah it’ll take time

[gaunt acorn]

also kaiser reunion?

probably not

..but maybe?

if only for the chance that i can meet him at some kind of meet-and-greet in vancouver

[torpid charm]

Okay so I got sick last night while watching WC so what happened

[gaunt acorn]

last night?

poland got strong then choked on spaghetti

[torpid charm]

I woke up today during France vs. Germany and it was crazy

[nova wadi]

aye first map to NL

[gaunt acorn]

wat een twist

[nova wadi]

wat een geweld

[torpid charm]

Did they switch the map order?

[gaunt acorn]

i don't know anymore

[nova wadi]

this was uh

interesting

[gaunt acorn]

italy big

[nova wadi]

Goats residentsleeper

[tawny sigil]

i miss the MLG hosted streams

this 3500kbps streams are too low

[nova wadi]

heartbeat his gravs are so EH

vizility is doing really well in getting grav hellla fast tthough

2 gravs 30 seconds

another one

[limber pine]

Italy as a team is pretty good

They do things like ult management and position a lot better than some teams

But individual contribution is still lacking

[magic zinc]

Hup Holland hup 🇳🇱

[queen drift]

Runaway is already probably a mid to high tier owl team imo @gaunt acorn

[gaunt acorn]

emphasis on mid

[queen drift]

I think their only big problem will be separated from flowervin and runner

[gaunt acorn]

no owl coaches or players seem to believe runaway is high tier

their biggest problem is having no owl experience

they're essentially a year behind other teams

[queen drift]

That’s a given tho, it can’t really be fixed without just playing

[gaunt acorn]

well yeah but

that's sorta my point

im not talking about their potential

im saying rn runaway is comparable to a mid-tier owl team

[queen drift]

I don’t think they’re high tier but I don’t think they’re mid tier

With 20 teams instead of 12 though it’s gonna be easier to distinguish the leaders

You can have an actual mid high low tier

Rather than great, average, Shanghai

[gaunt acorn]

a whole year of getting acclimated to the schedule, environment, scrimming & playing against the best teams in the world every week

this is something runaway didn't get

[queen drift]

Did they only start scrimming SK recently?

[gaunt acorn]

relatively, yeah

[queen drift]

I see what you mean

I think that could also work in their favour though

Like Boston, they’re new and somewhat of a dark horse

[gaunt acorn]

sure

[queen drift]

Like Boston were *

[gaunt acorn]

but boston was against 11 other inexperienced teams

[queen drift]

The experience is gonna suck

[gaunt acorn]

it's not the inagural season anymore

the established teams have an inherent advantage this time

[queen drift]

I think it’s kind of hard to imagine perspective on how much these teams have grown until we see them vs the new teams

[gaunt acorn]

so runaway needs to adapt fast

and get some serious coaching

[queen drift]

Right now it’s he says she says

Could you imagine kyky runaway

Lmao

[gaunt acorn]

thank god that was avoided

also flowervin isn't entirely out of the picture

she'll just be working remotely from korea

which is still pretty cool

[queen drift]

Gonna miss her running on stage

Pepe fucking hands

[gaunt acorn]

a necessary sacrifice

her boys made it

[queen drift]

Any news on who’s coaching

[gaunt acorn]

one of fusion's coaches

i'm sure more will be announced/signed

[warped axle]

Both Canadian teams are all Korean?

[magic zinc]

I hope Flowervin moves along or keeps working with them in some way

[warped axle]

Resident Sleeper

[magic zinc]

Rumors are she will (?), but I dont think she'd leave Korea

[gaunt acorn]

it's said she'll remain in korea but work for vancouver remotely

[tawny sigil]

OH FOUR WATCH WORLD CUP

[coarse heath]

WWII is banned in the PlayOverwatch chat

OMEGALUL

I wonder why

[long belfry]

[little holly]

They should call Germany one trick Volskaya.

[drowsy fulcrum]

DANYE NO

[clear crane]

wat? no akm?

[drowsy fulcrum]

dude fuck this crowd

booing every time italy does anything

oh wait nvm it's soon

xd

[clear crane]

benbest is nuts

[copper solstice]

tanks are getting more attention then the dps

[drowsy fulcrum]

this isn't even fair

the #2 team vs the #6 team

[warped axle]

soooooooooooooooooon

[karmic grotto]

#6 team?

Then, who's second

UK?

Third is like, Netherlands

yeeeh

[vagrant niche]

Poko too stronk

[karmic grotto]

in an hour, we get Netherlands - UK

[vagrant niche]

Nerf France

[olive quartz]

oof that first point hold

poko is secretly korean confirmed

[karmic grotto]

Is he Korean?

[olive quartz]

from his plays it seems so

[karmic grotto]

uhm

[olive quartz]

or france is the new korea

[karmic grotto]

A bit weird to classify someone as another nation lol

[olive quartz]

just a joke that koreans are amazing at videogames and since poko is so good,he is secretly korean

[karmic grotto]

I understood that reference lol 😛

[copper solstice]

[karmic grotto]

So....

[little holly]

Give France the 4-0 and move on

[karmic grotto]

What team will destroy France

in playoffs

[little holly]

@karmic grotto UK has a shot against then this stage.

[karmic grotto]

Did they already play each other?

[drowsy fulcrum]

@karmic grotto UK will win this stage

e

fucking

z

[karmic grotto]

hmm

[drowsy fulcrum]

schweep

[karmic grotto]

but if UK

loses to Netherlands

[scenic remnant]

i bet this WC will end with a france vs UK

[karmic grotto]

France vs Croatia

[drowsy fulcrum]

UK won't use to NL lmao

[karmic grotto]

you never know

😃

[drowsy fulcrum]

France was more likely to lose to NL

due to France being the worse team

[karmic grotto]

But Netherlands kinda had

nervous?

or

dunno

they played weird

[scenic remnant]

yeah theydid

which team has the most OWL players

[karmic grotto]

that made the difference yes

otherwise Netherlands would have won

[clear crane]

uh oh Anubis

[scenic remnant]

but france vs italy seems just ad

sad

[karmic grotto]

Well

[copper solstice]

I mean they are getting boo’ed out the door anything they do

[karmic grotto]

Neighbour countries

[clear crane]

whose booing

[scenic remnant]

when they go for a bastion + symm again

?

on anubis attack

[karmic grotto]

Again?

Do these teams actually watch what France did on this map

Do they learn?

[clear crane]

wat do u want italy to do lol

[scenic remnant]

no i mean another team

in owl

or contenders

[clear crane]

oh u mean choose another map

[scenic remnant]

idk

[clear crane]

i thought u meant team comp

[karmic grotto]

Can't they use Goats

oh my god

[clear crane]

impressive

[karmic grotto]

amazing

That Genji played as if it was his last life

[olive quartz]

yeah heartbeat was being chased so hard by winston and still survived

[karmic grotto]

Ultra Instinct

To beat the jungle

You've got to become the jungle

[olive quartz]

holy crap the sleep dart plays

they really shoudnt have nanoboosted the primal rage

[karmic grotto]

France

gets rekt by their own way of defending

but now comes the ult

[fast basin]

question

why is the Netherlands always presented in Orange in sports

[olive quartz]

that widow flick on soon was insane

incredible flick

[scenic remnant]

cuz the netherlands represent 2 flags

1. the red white blue flag

2. just orange and with a black lion sometimes

or the hollands represent the orange flag and the netherlands represent the red white blue

idk its confusing even as a dutch person myself

[olive quartz]

can someone explain how the scoring works?

is it a best of 4 maps or is it who has the most points by the end of 4 maps

[clear crane]

its best of 5

5th map only played if neccessary. maps always go to 4 to make sure if theres a tie in the standings, the team with the higher point difference is on top

[olive quartz]

ah

[karmic grotto]

No no

[gusty cipher]

The crowd is really annoying

[scenic remnant]

the crowd are sheep

[gusty cipher]

Yep

[scenic remnant]

also the france team

LEARN FUKIN ENGLISH

YOURE EUROPEAN

[gusty cipher]

They speak English

But most of France doesn't

[scenic remnant]

yeah why

[gusty cipher]

Culture

[scenic remnant]

fukin

lthat sounds really selfish if you keep culture out of it

[gusty cipher]

Same as you don't hear Koreans speak much English

It's not selfish

[jaunty tendon]

is there another set on the world cup?

[pearl stratus]

Uh oh big brain Surefour coming back on the Torb changes.

kreans i can understand they arent european

[gusty cipher]

What

[scenic remnant]

all european countries should lern english imo

[gusty cipher]

Why do you have to speak English when you're European?

Lmao

[pearl stratus]

See, the US should have just stayed out of it.

[scenic remnant]

i mean in the EU

[pearl stratus]

Then you'd all speak German.

And we wouldn't have this problem.

[gusty cipher]

Ye, everyone should speak German

[long cove]

Not necessarily

English is one of biggest speaking leagues

[jaunty tendon]

America didn't do shit against germany

[long cove]

Languages*

[pearl stratus]

Well neither did Europe.

[scenic remnant]

thats fine but if the EU has one general language

[pearl stratus]

So I guess we're even 😛

[scenic remnant]

it would be better

[gusty cipher]

Let's learn Chinese

[scenic remnant]

lets be realistic

[pearl stratus]

I mean if you want to get paid more its a good language to learn for business

[scenic remnant]

yeah

^

[gusty cipher]

Not really

[pearl stratus]

Chinese and Arabin.

*Arabic

[gusty cipher]

Depends on what field you work in

[jaunty tendon]

More people speak spanish than english

fun fact

[pearl stratus]

Yeah, but we're talking about successful business languages.

[gusty cipher]

Latin

You're more succesful if you learn the language of your desired clients

Learning English is only one aspect

[long cove]

Best language

[gusty cipher]

Best language is whale sounds

[jaunty tendon]

I don't know enough about other languages to call it

[pearl stratus]

In terms of GDP Chinese and Arabic are the most important. Portuguese ranks up there too, but strictly just because of Brazils economic standing.

Spanish is still important - but growth centers have shifted away from those markets in many places.

Russian can be important because its a place where English is not a big thing.

[jaunty tendon]

Yeah, they're treated like the worlds farmer slaves

[pearl stratus]

It's more just global ties to arab markets etc. Last year alone Arabic speaking countries accounting for something like 700 billion of the world GDP - and trending upward.

And its not a common spoken language outside of those areas, so the pay increase for speaking it is relatively large still.

[jaunty tendon]

gdp is a valuation of total goods produced, and the oil industry is valued really high

[pearl stratus]

Mandarin is a decent pay bump just because its difficulty.

Spanish and French are relatively very easy to learn.

[deep mist]

So what you guys think about France in OW Wcup ?

[pearl stratus]

I think they're playing against a bunch of bronze yeams.

*teams

So its hard to tell since you know they'd win.

[deep mist]

Lmao

Kinda true

[pearl stratus]

It was the same for US/Canada in their bracket.

You didn't have to watch the games to know those two teams would be top.

[deep mist]

Canada Won ? i aint watching

[pearl stratus]

But the teams in the US/Canada bracket actually had standout players from each area, Brazil had a lot of promise, etc.

No, second seed.

USA won.

Pretty handily too.

[deep mist]

Fuck it I only want my Winston boi

[pearl stratus]

You mean a good chunk of Canadas issues?

[deep mist]

[pearl stratus]

He was way too disconnected from the team in terms of his play style when going against a real team.

He's reverted to playing like its ladder a lot.

Should be fixed by WC.

[jaunty tendon]

oof

[deep mist]

xQc is my fav streamer so , i can't get an objective opinion

[pearl stratus]

Nah, he should be fine. xQc knows how to play - he did the same thing in Stage 1 OWL.

He plays that super aggressive play you can get away with on Ladder, but gets punished by real playerrs.

[deep mist]

Until getting kicked

[pearl stratus]

He'll tone it down and get more in sync with NotE, I'm sure.

[deep mist]

Yeah I hope so

[pearl stratus]

While Muma is not always my favorite player he builds synergy with other tanks very very quickly.

And Space was just a monster.

[deep mist]

I watched Poko this midday

He was sick

[pearl stratus]

Poko is doing Poko things, the only thing that never impressed me with him is his ult eating.

[deep mist]

Zarya by pro players is so op

Whe n i just see the cam focus on a zarya , it's just impressive how they melt enemies hitpoints

Might be boring for you, but for me, it's funny how Zarya melts enemies away

[sleek zephyr]

goats is more boring

[scenic remnant]

But uk has the most owl players

[karmic grotto]

[scenic remnant]

I call it

France vs uk

This was also with canada vs us

[dusky tinsel]

Would be nice if they push these games a bit earlier, keep missing them!

[dark oasis]

did UK win?

[karmic grotto]

Yes

[sullen berry]

the only team Jeff Kaplan wants us to support

is team UK

[tawny sigil]

what is up with the OWWC game sound for the players... why is nobody hearing the sombra is near sound

is the french crowd that loud that they cant hear any of the game sound

maybe the organizer need to invest in some glass wall like korea does

kinda stupid if the crowd is too loud to hear shit

[idle beacon]

doesnt look good for germany?

where exactly in france are the games/

?

[tawny sigil]

paris

its written everywhere

its not written france its written paris

[idle beacon]

400km away

hm

@tawny sigil

FRANKREICH

[tawny sigil]

france and uk are locked

[idle beacon]

this is what i am seeing on the page

No it's actually subpar with the past three group stages

And that's comparing the Blizzard arena

As well as one of Bangkok's first major esports production

[frozen perch]

[sharp cove]

overwatch

[frozen perch]

i see 0-3 but the match's not over yet

[sharp cove]

why a widow on attack?

[frozen perch]

widow is a staple

[sharp cove]

if you can play her right

never mind

[frozen perch]

what's even the point of this game

even if poland wins, they lose the match

[sharp cove]

poland srsly need to try something different..

[unique parrot]

Map wins

[frozen perch]

if just 1 of them was on the payload for the entire time, they might've got that point

[sharp cove]

first point secured

[tawny sigil]

welcome to france

[visual glen]

EU production

[boreal mango]

FR Stream lul

[tawny sigil]

where wires dont last more than 5 minutes

[rapid bobcat]

its really the french, german, english and the dutch who have the best crowds in football stadiums

[boreal mango]

[article 13 meme]

gotta say i hoped this would be closer but i know france will win

[rapid bobcat]

ANOTHER GRAV BY POKO?

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU LOSE THIS AS UK

[boreal mango]

home side advantage smh

should play again in the uk

[rapid bobcat]

Not just any home side advantage

[drowsy fulcrum]

I'll go and sing Football's Coming Home there

[rapid bobcat]

i bet the players cannot even hear footsteps

or shots

[boreal mango]

theyve got serious noise cancelling headsets

like the shit pilots wear

[rapid bobcat]

Still, that fucking crowd

[long belfry]

Its not like they are wearing ad700s

Noice cancelling stuff sucks for footsteps

[boreal mango]

clearly the uk lack a player with an OOOH sound in their handle. thats the key to france's successs

[rapid bobcat]

entire french team on fire

[little holly]

If they nerfed Zarya GOATS would be gone

[long belfry]

They need to nerf Brig

Not Zarya

[wintry kraken]

the audience is crazy 😄

[long belfry]

Zarya is useless outside goats

[boreal mango]

brigs getting anothert nerf in ptr

[long belfry]

MORE NERFS

PLS MORE

[boreal mango]

delete brig tbh

[long belfry]

Pls do that

[boreal mango]

only thing i like about her is shes easy to play with an xbox controller while my shoulder is broken

[long belfry]

Brig was a mistake

Its a character made to suit the brainless monkeys that play Genji in Bronze and cant aim for shit

[deft valley]

...what
that doesn't even make sense

but then again that's par for the course

[long belfry]

For those "Im lower than I should" people

[deft valley]

From my experience, those people are often the ones to complain about brig rather than play her

[long belfry]

I dont want to get to high Masters as Brig

Even if its easy af

Its like those top 500 Mercys

With Mercy 1.0

[deft valley]

That's not something you'll ever need to consider, don't worry

[boreal mango]

[long belfry]

I dont play Brig

The only supps I play are Ana, Lucio and Zen

[karmic grotto]

oh no

France is winning

[dusky tinsel]

The power of OWL

[karmic grotto]

OWL players vs ?

[dusky tinsel]

[rapid bobcat]

[dusky tinsel]

Boombox is but one man

[karmic grotto]

He's the only one, right

[rapid bobcat]

[long belfry]

Akm, Soon, Poko and Unkoe

[karmic grotto]

Oh well, France will lose anyways in play offs

[round obsidian]

[boreal mango]

boombvox the guy with like 1 mainstage series at OWL 😛

[karmic grotto]

[rapid bobcat]

its south korea vs canada, usa vs finland, and (if the match goes to france) france vs australia and uk vs china

[karmic grotto]

Is Australia equal to France?

[boreal mango]

monka fucking s

[round obsidian]

no aus is bad

[rapid bobcat]

france is better I think

south korea will win
usa will win
france will win
china will win

[queen drift]

What nerfs are brig getting

[tawny sigil]

france winning the 3:3 comp... it would be funny if it was nerfed before bliz con and now they suck

[queen drift]

FRA/USA/KR/CND are the best teams in the World Cup, probably KR and FR

[dusky tinsel]

French anthem lul

[tawny sigil]

this crowd is doing everything they can to look like what we know about french people.... obnoxious as fuck

[karmic grotto]

oh god

Do they do this on purpose?

Anubis again

Why

[boreal mango]

whats obnoxious about singing their national anthem and doing chants

[karmic grotto]

Yh

I mean

people of USA go

USA, USA, USA

[boreal mango]

USA USA

[tawny sigil]

yeah and it is obnoxious aswell

[boreal mango]

its literally every sports crowd in europe

watch any football or rugby game in the uk or europe

imo it sounds like an awesome atmosphere, theyre having fun

[long belfry]

I think Finland is better than France

They almost beat SK

They managed to trap them in the spawn

And barely lost a 99 99 round

[boreal mango]

finland stronk

[dusky tinsel]

This is a huge yikes for the uk

[long belfry]

Finland is one of the STRONG teams

[boreal mango]

not really this is the first strong team theyve played in their group.

[dusky tinsel]

I'm actually glad the french fans are this loud, it was feeling a bit quiet in the other groups

[hidden osprey]

USA crowd can only chant one thing, and thats USA lol

[long belfry]

[dusky tinsel]

Unironically true

[karmic grotto]

Alright then

Never give up

[boreal mango]

NEVER SURRENDER

[tawny sigil]

fragi is that you?

[queen drift]

SoOn just destroyed UK dreams in like 3 seconds

[drowsy fulcrum]

Maybe next year Blizzard will randomize pools and not put a team with 4 OWL players and 2 OWL-level players in a pool with 1 other OWL player

[green stump]

:I those UK guys have some out of control chest hair

[vestal mortar]

Soon is just doing so much work on Sombra

Nobody can stop him

[jagged crater]

sombero

goddamnit why is csgo major going on at the same time as this

nvm it's already over

thank you 4-0

[scenic elm]

beemoo who's playing in the csgo major

and is it on twitch

[vestal mortar]

Blizzcon bracket draw time!!!

SK and US on the same side again

[young grove]

Huh

[little holly]

Hopefully there's no crowd so teams can actually use comms. Crowds do nothing positive, they make too much noise so players can't use voice comms well.

[sleek zephyr]

^^^

[vestal mortar]

Of course there will be a crowd

[scenic elm]

oh god uk got usa

at least we got to the quarter finas

[sleek zephyr]

...

[tawny sigil]

crowd was so loud nobody was hearing the sombra is near sound

they were walking next to the player constantly... nobody was noticing

[scenic elm]

"sOOOOOOOOOOOOOn"

[tawny sigil]

koreans got this figured out with glass walls... why can't the american organizer figure out this

[median shore]

FR vs CN, UK vs SK --> FR vs SK --> FR Win. Plspls

[warped axle]

China beats France

China beats SK

China number 1

[pearl token]

Idk man China was taken to game 5 against Thailand, Denmark and Australia

I wouldnt be shocked if Finland wins that one

[long belfry]

I want Finland to go to the semis

They took South Korea all the way to the last teamfight and BARELY lost it

(They choked HARD there)

Because the team that wins between Canada and Finland (if they both advance), are the ones than can actually beat SK

SK is not as dominant as it used to be in 2016 and 2017

[visual glen]

inb4 US beats SK in semis

[idle beacon]

no sweden and no danmark? 😮

[pearl token]

Sweden unfortunately did their best florida mayhem impression

[warped axle]

Almost like making a team based on ancient history and nepotism is prone to failure

[surreal lichen]

I kinda felt bad for the UK Overwatch WC team.. they got stomped so hard lmfao It almost looked like a a bunch of soloques vs a stacked team

[fleet walrus]

Does the Overwatch league games take place in a custom game?

[deft valley]

yes
it's also on a special client

[warped axle]

5 weeks until more World Cup

[pearl token]

Wait really o_O?

[pearl stratus]

Blizz con

[pearl token]

Didnt know it was that far off still. Womp

[fresh turret]

I have faith in Finland to beat China

I think they will, as long as they can adapt to the new meta

Also the crowd doesn't cover up the in-game sounds, they're called sound-cancelling headphones for a reason

[queen drift]

they use aviation headsets

so that you can hear what people are saying in a plane as the pilot

so while they can hear the crowd, i highly doubt that they hear the crowd over in game stuff

"David Clark Aviation Headset", pretty sure thats the brand

[fresh turret]

Yeah

Like they probably hear if the crowd is cheering, but it won't distract them

or go over in-game sound

[queen drift]

ye

[tawny sigil]

when is blizzcon... their stupid website is just not working for me

[fresh turret]

The 2nd of november

Atleast

The first matches

[tawny sigil]

ok

[upper niche]

Aus vs South Korea, oof. That's rough.

[karmic grotto]

The Kangoroo guys will be beaten by Korea chopsticks

[hidden vault]

Well finals would be canada us korea china

[ember jewel]

Canada?

Idk about that, my dude

[long belfry]

Finland is looking strong as fuck this year

[rare sonnet]

Finland got tank comps on lock

[fresh turret]

I believe in Finland

[long belfry]

Finland has a preety strong roster

[fresh turret]

I'm just spooked that they won't be flexible enough which has been kind of a problem in the past

[long belfry]

Even when Linkzr and Taimou overlap a lot

[fresh turret]

The biggest thing they lack is the ability to play a good Genji and Tracer

at the same time

[long belfry]

This time they have this Contenders player

Who is preety good

And have Linkzr on the other dive dps

[fresh turret]

I hope Davin is their grand plan if they haven't taught Taimou to play projectile in 2 months (which they haven't)

[long belfry]

Taimou is a hitscan specialist

That can flex a little bit

He was preety good against Philly on Hanzo

[fresh turret]

I just worry about Pharah and Genji

[long belfry]

And he can flex to Junk and Pharah

Even if he isnt that good

He was still able to play them in owl

[sleek zephyr]

^

[long belfry]

And he did decent

He wasnt as good as Jake on Junk

Or as SDB on Pharah

But he was able to be effective

[limber pine]

I thought Taimou was a budding Main Tank

[queen drift]

Budding? Dude is already there

[hidden vault]

taimou was best on main tank

he can play hog too

[glacial bear]

Are they gonna play on the new patch for top 16?

I mean top 8

They have a month so...

[jagged crater]

australia with the biggest upset of all time les go

[sleek zephyr]

haha

no

[long belfry]

Australia is going to get clapped

[jagged crater]

trill will carry the f out of aus

also really hyped to see how china will perform vs a good team

i want to see some guxue blades

[balmy wolf]

Hey guys

Do you think China is going to clap 👏 Denmark in blizzcon?

I think China is a region that’s been improving and they deserve a win if they can work for it.

Also trill is a god tier player in Australia. Really excited to see them perform.

[torpid charm]

Denmark???? In Blizzcon??? You mean Finland?

Chips was good in the ol days. Now he’s a mid tier support. Love him but Dallas need wins and roster spots are limited #fuelsbadman

is that the first 2 way player contract?

What if Rascal goes to Seoul?

[pearl stratus]

I'd be sad if Rascal goes to Shock with how much the team doesn't seem currently happy with a lot of whsat happened.

Poor guy doesn't need to get fucked twice.

https://clips.twitch.tv/EphemeralBetterAlpacaMcaT

Let's goooooooo dude

[vagrant niche]

LETS GO DUDE

I'm an Atlanta fan now

[green stump]

Now let's see how he holds up there or will it be like xqc all over again

[mint turtle]

You guys see the emongg clip where he talks about how dafran didn't even throw that map? Ofc it doesn't excuse the torb stuff but

[long belfry]

I dont think Rascal in Shock would be a good idea

He overlaps too much with Architect

[balmy wolf]

So is Dafran not joining OWL?

[gaunt acorn]

@balmy wolf the opposite

he's now been ok'd by blizzard and is able to play for the atlanta owl team

[limber pine]

Atlanta's viewership just increased tenfold

[gaunt acorn]

let's go dude

[pearl stratus]

Should start a better square to see how long till he gets banned.

Refunds on if they restrict his streaming

[bitter phoenix]

Atlanta is the closest team to where i live. wooh we got a Meme on our team!

[sullen berry]

Vancouver the best Season 2

full rosters that have been signed to compete with other stacked rosters

it'll go down just fine

[bitter phoenix]

if they for some reason pick up xqc I will not even watch them xD

I'm so sick of hearing about him

[limber pine]

Here's ATL's team so far (all unofficial)

[long belfry]

Is that confirmed then?

[limber pine]

(all unofficial)

[long belfry]

The Darfan thing

[bitter phoenix]

wait is that the kodak I think it is

[limber pine]

from 6nakes

[bitter phoenix]

thats a good pick up

[limber pine]

and german national team

[long belfry]

Or its a jebait

Like when he did the tweets

With Mayhem

[pearl stratus]

@bitter phoenix I don't think you have to worry about them picking up xQc + Dafran, I don't think any org would be that stupid.

[limber pine]

I tend to not believe anything until I get the official news on it

[pearl stratus]

Especially since xQc just got his main account banned again.

[long belfry]

Did he?

Why?

[pearl stratus]

It's a day that ends in Y.

There's like a 95% chance of him getting banned for being retarded.

Pretty sure like usually he was doing a "climbing" stream, which meant he was losing a lot.

And he started rage typing.

[glacial bear]

WHAT ABOUT DAFRAN THOUGH

TEAM ATLLLLLLL

Anyone else know the roster for dafran

[pearl stratus]

Not announced, and still just rumors.

[gaunt acorn]

it was just posted above

[glacial bear]

Its confirmed

[glacial bear]

Daco and ERster is good

[pearl stratus]

It's more on how intelligently Dafrans contract is written.

[glacial bear]

Kodak is kind of a a boop god nothing much on that

[deft valley]

contracts are almost definitely standard form for now

[pearl stratus]

Like if I was ATL I'd have a no/minimum streaming part of the contract, since we know its part of the contracts (ala EQO)

I'm sure the morality/streaming clauses can be amended.

At least should be, if your team isn't mongo.

[glacial bear]

True

[deft valley]

morality clauses are already a thing aren't they

[pearl stratus]

Yeah but they can be customized, typically.

For higher risk players.

Etc.

[glacial bear]

But since they have skrims for 9 hrs they might not stream that long in general

[deft valley]

very few teams have them that much every day

[glacial bear]

Dafran doesnt need to go pro though thats what I dont get he makes legit more money on twitch

[pearl stratus]

Also since Dafran has two historical pro-event bans, you'd be absolutely head in ass retarded not to make it more strict.

[deft valley]

some things aren't about money
and he'll still have streaming

[limber pine]

maybe he's got the itch again

[pearl stratus]

Maybe he's comparing it to McDonalds again.

[deft valley]

he's still getting suspended in stage 1

[glacial bear]

@pearl stratus damn straight

[pearl stratus]

Wasn't that his line last time? He'd rather work at McDonalds than go pro.

[glacial bear]

Yea but...

people change

[pearl stratus]

Also he's probably too stupid to use a fryer.

[deft valley]

lmao

[glacial bear]

lul

yea suspesion is a 100%

[pearl stratus]

Dafrans location the ice cream machine is permanently broken when they figured he couldn't screw up cleaning it.

[glacial bear]

he still might get more followers from owl base

[pearl stratus]

He's probably suspended currently, most likely.

Historically people with pre-OWL charges have to finish out a suspension before play.

OGE, Sado, etc.

[glacial bear]

doubt it

[pearl stratus]

And he's admitted on stream to boosting etc.

So consistency wise they may have him serve out a suspension right out of the gate.

[glacial bear]

new leaf??

[sullen berry]

no

[pearl stratus]

New Leaf only matters when you're two years into it.

No one gives a fuck on day 2.

[sullen berry]

you wouldn't enjoy if they turned a new leaf

because you didn't sign up for a professional pro player

[pearl stratus]

Yeah imagine if xQc actually acted like a real player?

He'd drop to like 2k viewers.

[limber pine]

I'd be shocked if Dafran wasn't suspended at the beginning of S2

I said a week ago that I figured he would

[pearl stratus]

I don't think it'll be Sado length.

I'm guessing OGE length.

Maybe a bit longer.

[limber pine]

yeah I don't think it'll be terribly long

[pearl stratus]

4-6 games maybe.

I like LAV including SF Shock in the California battles now.

Also RIP Lateyoung potentially not making it to Blizzcon.
