[karmic grotto]

Nico lol

[pearl cedar]

That was such a misplay by nico

[gilded peak]

That was a waste of a minute

[karmic grotto]

He knew it was over

[pearl cedar]

really wasted communication

[paper crag]

lmao

[balmy wolf]

33 and 1/3% not just 33% 😉

[vagrant niche]

Watching the sombra to come back is more important than contesting?

[pearl cedar]

he thought Soon would touch

[gilded peak]

So what was the point of Genji going to the side?

[coarse blaze]

he moved away from the point in the last 3 seconds

[karmic grotto]

C9

[marsh pumice]

gg

[pearl cedar]

naw its a miscommunication

[karmic grotto]

Hahaha

[queen drift]

he was going to destroy the trans and dash to point

but

he didnt

do either

[pearl cedar]

Soon/Nico were thinking

[hidden osprey]

[pearl cedar]

'okay soon you touch, ill come and clean up'

but nopeee

[vagrant niche]

i think he was waiting for sombra to recall to finish her

[karmic grotto]

Something happened wrong

[paper crag]

All that Genji going to the side did was to literally just take away from firepower

[balmy wolf]

so now france cant win this

[pearl cedar]

yea really major miscommunication

[queen drift]

i dont know why he would, she wasnt pressured

[whole patio]

sick way for france to go out lol

[balmy wolf]

its draw or win for canada

[karmic grotto]

Nice throw

[pearl cedar]

well they could draw

canada only needs 1 tick

soon needs to pop off

[coarse blaze]

but why do that with 5 seconds left @vagrant niche

[karmic grotto]

If Canada goes goats

[pearl cedar]

there it is

[karmic grotto]

I'll cheer for Canada

[vagrant niche]

[gilded peak]

[whole patio]

[gilded peak]

Yeah, because its filled with Korean players...

[rustic plaza]

nobody i know saw france as favorites

[gilded peak]

Only 1 or 2 chinese player stayed...

[rustic plaza]

[warped axle]

AGANE

[karmic grotto]

[queen drift]

only one of my home teams are out so

[karmic grotto]

Gmm

[queen drift]

👌

[karmic grotto]

Good question

UK is underdog

Ao

[rustic plaza]

i just need korea to win

[dry verge]

I want NA to win so it all rests on Canada. UK after them

[gilded peak]

Would China be considered an underdog too?

[karmic grotto]

?

[hidden osprey]

An underdog story is always fun to see

[warped axle]

🇦🇺

[karmic grotto]

UK winning 3-1,glorious

[queen drift]

China v Finland are pretty even, Finland narrowly better

Australia are underdogs

[hidden osprey]

@dry verge NA to win? USA is out lol

[gilded peak]

I actually think China will take it

[forest raven]

We're not underdogs

[warped axle]

Man Idk who I want to win,finland or china. I like both those teams so much.

[dry verge]

Canada is in NA too

[forest raven]

We're like

[karmic grotto]

If Aus manages to win from SK

[forest raven]

Abyssdogs

[queen drift]

overdogs?#

oh

[gilded peak]

Putting my money on China. Shanghai Dragon was not the true representative of China

[forest raven]

Land down underdogs

[coarse blaze]

is Aus getting an expansion team for OWL?

[queen drift]

no

[hidden osprey]

Remember, China got fucked last year with Visa issues

[forest raven]

Not this season

[gilded peak]

Nope.

[queen drift]

not yet, at least

[gaunt acorn]

no

[coarse blaze]

fuck

[gilded peak]

Only EU and NA, right?

[warped axle]

Melbourne was rumored for S3

[potent verge]

who won

[dry verge]

@hidden osprey you know Canada is in NA right?

[hidden osprey]

No shit

[gilded peak]

Yep, thats why I have my money on China

[hidden osprey]

But you said it rests on Canada which makes no sense

[queen drift]

what do you mean NA is only USA

[potent verge]

i didnt see canada match, who won? score?

[karmic grotto]

[gilded peak]

@karmic grotto Probably in 15-20 min. Or 30 at most

[hidden osprey]

Who's next? China vs Finland?

[karmic grotto]

Thanks

[dry verge]

For NA to win Canada needs to win World Cup because US is out now

[queen drift]

the first 2 maps were even

france botted out on anubis

[sullen berry]

CHINLAND

[hidden osprey]

4Chin?

[karmic grotto]

Then I'll charge my phone cause using data is much battery

[potent verge]

Finland are really good

[gilded peak]

But so is China.

China had a good rivalry against Korea

[queen drift]

I wouldn't be surprised if China or Finland win

[karmic grotto]

@queen drift

They got outplayed

[queen drift]

so I dont count either as underdogs

Mao?

oh

Yeah. They just botted out

They made so many dumb mistakes

[hidden osprey]

I missed Danny!

[karmic grotto]

Outplayed by their own map

[coarse blaze]

Carpe

[sullen berry]

🐠

[gaunt acorn]

carpe new hair

he looks like janus

[gilded peak]

Carpe with Fleta. I hope I can see them together.

[marsh pumice]

[worn falcon]

Carpe my boy

[karmic grotto]

Libero XD

[worn falcon]

He looks more skinny

[rain wave]

Ez sweep

[queen drift]

I thought china was next?

[karmic grotto]

Looking for chicks

Did yoy guys sae what Libero did?

[gilded peak]

I thought so too?

[paper crag]

@queen drift i think that's why Carpe is on the bleachers

[coarse blaze]

what did he do?

[paper crag]

oh i guess not

[karmic grotto]

You missed it man

[queen drift]

In the last games they've had someone from each team thats playing

[gilded peak]

Well that sucks...

I may not watch it completely...

[queen drift]

xQc, Boombox

[paper crag]

i thought SK players were on the bleachers because the other teams were getting ready to go on stage

[karmic grotto]

He was doing some flirt with girl right behind Carpe

[paper crag]

is this girl an insider for Canada AND Australia?

[gilded peak]

Lame... Was hoping Kor vs Aus will be the last game of the night...

[paper crag]

make up your mind girl

[queen drift]

it might be?

[karmic grotto]

Huh

[gilded peak]

She's a traitor.

[queen drift]

the kits dont look like korea

[karmic grotto]

Why does Aus play now?

[queen drift]

behind mica

[hidden osprey]

OWWC viewer with an update, anyone have any patch notes?

[karmic grotto]

Shouldn't they play later?

[gaunt acorn]

why not

[queen drift]

yeah thats china

[paper crag]

oh hey china already on stage

[karmic grotto]

Huh

?????

[gaunt acorn]

it's just weird scheduling

[paper crag]

honestly though carpe was being humble too

[sullen berry]

Have you looked at the schedule

[karmic grotto]

On purpose

[paper crag]

danny just didn't translate carpe's humble part

[karmic grotto]

They just want SK to look strong

[green stump]

Im going to end up missing the SK fight

[paper crag]

which is why i don't like danny's translating

[green stump]

SO NONE OF YOU SPOIL IT FOR ME

[karmic grotto]

Oke

[gilded peak]

No need to spoil when it'll be 3-0 without Australia touching the point

[sullen berry]

@green stump get off discord, I will have to for my safety on the road

[balmy wolf]

When is the final match of the owwc

[gilded peak]

Tomorrow

Around 1 or 2?

[hidden osprey]

[balmy wolf]

[pearl cedar]

@drowsy oracle you're right they're up next

[balmy wolf]

ok

[pearl cedar]

im actually excited for this set

this might be the most competitive set today

[gilded peak]

Not really. This will be too 1 sided

[pearl cedar]

China's OWWC roster looks a lot better than SHD

[rare sonnet]

China are good

[pearl cedar]

miles better

[dry verge]

Y’all realize the schedule is on world cup.playoverwatch.com right?

[balmy wolf]

Guxue is amazing

[pearl cedar]

[vagrant niche]

The finals should be earlier than 4

[balmy wolf]

Look at these interesting heroes we've added, so today we are adding woman with gun

i honestly hope her scoped shots have damage falloff

[gilded peak]

Something wrong with that? I like it because they are using that awesome gun she's holding.

Don't know what its called, lol

[balmy wolf]

Viper

[gilded peak]

She's 40, I guarantee you that XD

Asian women look exactly the same age from 20 - 50, then they shrink

[karmic grotto]

Who said what time SK will play?

[warped axle]

6:15 PDT

[gilded peak]

Original time is 6:15pm

[karmic grotto]

But it's changed

[gilded peak]

Expect them to play around 7pm.

[karmic grotto]

To what time?

[forest raven]

I wonder how much money Blizz spent on getting all these translator interviewers

[gilded peak]

uh... 3 am for you?

[karmic grotto]

Oh

[dry verge]

However long it takes

[karmic grotto]

So Finland will play first

Because I read the schedule was changed

[drowsy fulcrum]

Who would win:

Team of professional American OWL players training in secret facilities 24/7

Or

Buncha lads from nearest pub playing OW on friday nights

[karmic grotto]

If a team is gonna play, please tag me. I'll charge my phone in the meanwhile

[dry verge]

overwatch site says finals starts at 9:30am PDT tomorrow and all subsequent matches will be played after previous matches. Just like today. So figuring out exact times are difficult.

[balmy wolf]

@drowsy fulcrum I play best when I'm a little drunk.

The spirit of the Miraculous Youngsters live on

CHINA DOING IT

[rare oracle]

OHHHH

[latent vigil]

🇨🇳 1⃣ CHINA #1 🇨🇳 1⃣

[pearl stratus]

People somehow thought China was a weak team.

[pearl cedar]

I told you guys

[pearl stratus]

Which was baffling to me.

[pearl cedar]

i fucking told you china was a decent team

[whole patio]

let's gooo

[pearl cedar]

it feels so good man

[pearl stratus]

They had the hardest brackets.

[rare oracle]

Niceeeee

[pearl stratus]

Its why they looked so mediocre.

[forest raven]

China's now like 6-0 on koth or some shit

[whole patio]

leave is a beast dude

[karmic grotto]

if Finland went to spawn

[pearl cedar]

people thought china was garbage cause of SHD lmao

[warped axle]

Sky looks mad lol

[queen drift]

china is so young too

[karmic grotto]

they could have taken out Zarya

[pearl stratus]

Also their Qualifiers.

[pearl cedar]

they havent seen China's ACTUAL players

they just saw the cosplayers

[latent vigil]

so

[paper crag]

outside of people who think china is weak because of SHD, I don't think people thought China was weak as much as they thought Finland was strong

[latent vigil]

why didn't SHD hire this team?

[pearl stratus]

They didn't look dominant because they didn't have shit grouping.

[warped axle]

Finnish ASMR

[pearl stratus]

Most qualifier groups had 1-2 teams that weren't shit.

[pearl cedar]

because SHD is rooted in corruption

[karmic grotto]

@pearl stratus who

[forest raven]

Miraculous Youngsters

[pearl stratus]

Bangkok had a bunch of solid teams.

[pearl cedar]

the org itself is really terrible because of the management they had last year

[pearl stratus]

Also I know people love Fragi.

[whole patio]

was finland 2nd seed from kr group?

[latent vigil]

SHD is a money laundering scheme

[pearl cedar]

they fired most of their staff and hired new people though so maybe it will be diff this year but yea

[pearl stratus]

But Guxue is just better than Fragi.

Flat out.

[drowsy fulcrum]

iirc seeding was

[pearl cedar]

I thought Fragi had the better of Guxue though

in that mapset

Guxue was getting picked more

Leave was just shitting on them though

[pearl stratus]

One on one, yes. But Guxue did more for the team on a whole.

[pearl cedar]

Leave/Shy

[whole patio]

disgusting shatter in small room

[warped axle]

The real reason China won was because of their DPS

[drowsy oracle]

guxue has the biggest balls of all main tanks

[drowsy fulcrum]

USA
France
South Korea
China
Canada
Finland
AUS
UK

was seeding

[warped axle]

Leave straight up won them the second point

[whole patio]

ty thatbloke

[latent vigil]

RIP USA

[drowsy fulcrum]

USA got top seed by games, not by skill

[karmic grotto]

C9

[drowsy oracle]

F

[pearl stratus]

My favorite part of Leave.

[whole patio]

ye dat 1st seed

[karmic grotto]

if Finland didnt C9

[pearl stratus]

Is that he's only been back playing OW for what..

A month or two?

If that.

[warped axle]

How tf was Aus rated above the UK

[pearl cedar]

He charged grav really fast

[pearl stratus]

Professional PUBG player btw.

[pearl cedar]

Zappis ate a couple

but Leave just kept building it up so fast

[latent vigil]

yo that China game almost made me lose No Nut November

[pearl cedar]

you cant eat em all

Linkzr in though

at least now Finland is showing China respect

[pearl stratus]

Also its really funny to see Sky play on an all-chinese team.

He looks SO much more comfortable.

[warped axle]

There was a Japan team they just lost

[karmic grotto]

wow

[pearl cedar]

Sky was undersold on sHD

literally wasted talent

[karmic grotto]

what a statement

[whole patio]

how did both teams look in 1st game?

[pearl cedar]

plus its an ana centric meta

[warped axle]

Sky on Ana is great

[pearl stratus]

Well he's shit on a multi-lingual roster.

[pearl cedar]

Both teams looked good but Taimou was a deadweight

[pearl stratus]

Which didn't help./

[whole patio]

but finland still won huh

[pearl stratus]

Sky not being able to communicate with his tanks is a very scared Sky.

[pearl cedar]

Finland made a couple poor decisions

[whole patio]

wait did 1st game just finish?

[pearl cedar]

team wise, like all leaving the point

[whole patio]

or 2nd?

[pearl cedar]

yeah game 1 went 2-1 china

[warped axle]

1st

[pearl cedar]

control i think

[whole patio]

oh oh perfect, i thought i missed a game

[pearl cedar]

koth

[whole patio]

lijiang is so fun to watch

[pearl cedar]

naw i was most looking forward to Canada's series today

and this one second

because I was expecting USA to 3-0 UK

then UK 3-1 them

Canada closes out France fairly well

and this series looks close

[whole patio]

france looked not good

actually they looked ok, then they got rocked whenver sombra had emp

[pearl stratus]

France just had the weaker tank duo and support duo.

[warped axle]

Winz sat on ze payload... And didn't do much else

[karmic grotto]

why the same maps

[pearl stratus]

Bani > Winz.

Because Winz is shit.

[karmic grotto]

Where is mumbai orisa map

[drowsy fulcrum]

what did Finland pick?

[whole patio]

yeah winz... looked really bad

[karmic grotto]

or junkertown

[pearl stratus]

He's washed up.

[warped axle]

They should have chose Hyp

[karmic grotto]

where are those maps?

[pearl stratus]

He's like 30 years old, hasn't played pro in forever.

[whole patio]

i hope sk doesn't get upset

[pearl stratus]

Hyp would have been the smarter pick @warped axle

But they probably wanted to keep the brothers.

Figured the synergy would be better.

[warped axle]

AKM isn't great either

[rare oracle]

Oof Hollywood

[pearl stratus]

AKM was at least putting in work on McCree.

[rare oracle]

Nice

[pearl stratus]

He wasn't just choking.

[paper crag]

"the attackers must remove the defenders. by force."
why can't we talk things out like civilized people and reach a peaceful compromise

[warped axle]

Should have picked Asking

[whole patio]

his mccree was ok

[karmic grotto]

hollywood map, yeeh

[pearl stratus]

@paper crag Because Blizzard helps televise this.

And Blizzard would never show a pussy.

[warped axle]

What

[pearl stratus]

Talking things out and reaching a peaceful compromise Kuni 😛

[karmic grotto]

figurly speech

[warped axle]

I thought you meant literally

[karmic grotto]

??

[pearl stratus]

It was a play on words

For both.

[karmic grotto]

^

[paper crag]

blizz would never show a pussy but love showing women in tights

seems legit

[warped axle]

Blizzard loves lesbians

[pearl stratus]

If its covered you're not showing it, technically.

[queen drift]

they're horny af but want their age rating

[karmic grotto]

what are you guys talking about

convo swifts to another thing

lol

[paper crag]

just shitposting until actual game starts

oh linkzr is in

[warped axle]

LinkFist

[paper crag]

so weird to see linkzr not playing a long ranged hitscan

[queen drift]

wow

they took that fast

[paper crag]

think Ashe will be added early enough for Season 2 Stage 1?

[warped axle]

Rolled and smoked

[queen drift]

she'll go to PTR on this thursday I think

or next tuesday

after that, 2 weeks ish on ptr

then 2 weeks till comp

if shes in comp, shell be in owl

[paper crag]

so a little over a month

[warped axle]

You know it's been a while since Hollywood has been played at this level

They need to fix the elevators

[paper frigate]

🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

[frosty rain]

what are the standings rn

tfw you are from USA but want Canada to win so they get the juice and you unironically like XQC

[pearl cedar]

clutch sleep

good swap by Linkzr

[warped axle]

Team China looking like London

[wind creek]

are all these matches gonna be upsets

[pearl stratus]

You know what I still don't understand with China.

[queen drift]

again#

[rare sonnet]

This isn’t an upset

[queen drift]

this isnt an upset

[pearl stratus]

The size of their balls.

[warped axle]

What upset

[pearl stratus]

Where a lot of teams would drop back and regroup

[warped axle]

Both teams are even

[pearl stratus]

Chinas like "Nah we'll 4v6"

[queen drift]

Shanghai != china

[pearl stratus]

And they do it.

[rare sonnet]

The desk even said China will win

[pearl stratus]

China lost their biggest weakness.

[paper crag]

lol i was almost hoping for a C9 by Finland

[pearl stratus]

Their biggest weakness previously was the only subbing at halftime.

Thats not at Blizzcon

[dry verge]

Finland is not playing well

[warped axle]

RAP GOD

[pearl stratus]

Finlands playing well.

Chinas playing better.

[warped axle]

NOBODY

[queen drift]

seeing all the dva bullets after the people have gone on the viewer is interesting

[karmic grotto]

why

didint they

go hammond

to stall the point

[pearl stratus]

Fragi probably isn't comfortable on it.

[north tendon]

CHINA NUMBA ONE

[pearl stratus]

Fragi really is only truly comfortable on Rein.

Lets be honest.

[karmic grotto]

man

[queen drift]

its also less reward when the payload is so close to spawn

[north tendon]

even his rein is way too aggro

[karmic grotto]

thats a bad hero pool he has

[queen drift]

if its a short while away its good, bc you get there so fast

[pearl stratus]

It's not, his Winston improved greatly.

[karmic grotto]

as tank you should at least be able to play all tanks

[pearl stratus]

Also as Fox said, thats not a good spot for hammond

You can't really stall there.

[queen drift]

jesus christ

leave gets dived

just fucking murders 2

[pearl stratus]

PUBG bruh.

He doesn't need a squad.

[north tendon]

holy shit leave

[warped axle]

Leave mvp

[pearl stratus]

Welcome to original MY.

[paper crag]

did china take point A on their first try

[warped axle]

Krystal is a god too

[pearl stratus]

Original MY was a team of young monsters.

[north tendon]

im so glad china got the chance to show its true colors

[queen drift]

I honestly feel like right now who will win is a tossup

[north tendon]

not that t2-3 trash lol

[queen drift]

China and UK both have a chance to beat SK

a decent chance*

[pearl stratus]

I'm so glad that 70% of the China team got rumored/picked up for OWL.

[paper crag]

ouch linkzr

[rare sonnet]

China vs uk final lol

[warped axle]

LinkZR

[pearl cedar]

that trap was brutal

dashed right into it

[north tendon]

LUL

[rare sonnet]

Lonkzr

[pearl cedar]

he had such a good angle though

if no trap

that woulda been an easy 4k

[pearl stratus]

And thats why the trap was there lol

That game sense.

[north tendon]

linkzr is pretty meh outside of hitscan honestly

dont even know about davin

[queen drift]

hes not normally

[pearl stratus]

Finland finally fighting back

[queen drift]

hes very good

idk if hes washed up, nervous, or china is just countering him so well

[paper crag]

linkzr sad blades today 😦

[queen drift]

or all 3

[north tendon]

probably all 3\

[pearl stratus]

I think he's 2/3

[rare sonnet]

Wait wtf was that spot

Did you see leave

[karmic grotto]

no

[rare sonnet]

Yvetal

[queen drift]

wtf is fragi doing

[rare sonnet]

I mean

[pearl stratus]

The unseen Winston is the deadliest.

Or something

[rare sonnet]

He was hiding in some sick spot

[queen drift]

no just wait

im on viewer

[pearl stratus]

Yvetal's map awareness is honestly one of the best I've ever seen.

Did you see his Qualifier maps?

He dodged SO many ults just knowing where to be

[warped axle]

Fragi what

[pearl stratus]

Guxue is on Winston.

I think Fragi just doesn't know what to do.

[paper crag]

so i get that fragi wanted to get back quickly, but was the early ult really necessary

[pearl stratus]

Guxue is just sitting around like "King Kong ain't go shit on me"

[queen drift]

fragi on rein is so strong

[fast basin]

so

[queen drift]

but hes so bad on anyone else

[rare sonnet]

I’ve been in fragile situation on ladder before

[paper crag]

oh he was gonna switch

[pearl stratus]

Guxue showed the best winston of the OWWC imo.

[queen drift]

he wasnt going to switch

[rare sonnet]

Where no tank works

[pearl stratus]

So

It's best rein vs. best winston

[queen drift]

he didnt ult because he was going to switch I mean, or he'd ult back to spawn

he went to THEIR spawn for health

then ulted in their spawn to not die to dva

failed to pick an alone widow

IN PRIMAL

[drowsy oracle]

this is sad

[queen drift]

then jumped back to his team

[warped axle]

China can win the whole thing

[pearl stratus]

I just want to see more Guxue Winston.

[rare sonnet]

Imagine if Shanghai didn’t suck ass

[karmic grotto]

I ask myself now

[north tendon]

now I can see korea vs china

[pearl cedar]

If China play like this

they can beat SK

[drowsy oracle]

if things keep goin this way and the favorites keep getting dumpstered maybe even AUS has a chance LUL

[karmic grotto]

why not had sombra to hack

[north tendon]

yeah this is very solid

[pearl stratus]

I mean Shanghai could have gotten... kind of close to this team.

[pearl cedar]

they actually played so well

[pearl stratus]

But not there.

[paper crag]

who went against SK in the finals so far?

[balmy wolf]

Is this the timeline where everyone predicted to win loses?

[little silo]

No idea why theyre playing Davin

[pearl stratus]

More than half of this roster was 17 last year.

[pearl cedar]

Last year it was Canada

[warped axle]

I love how humble these Chinese players are

[pearl cedar]

year before it was USA i think

[queen drift]

I honeslty dont think Davin is the problem

[little silo]

Fragi and Zappis are underperforming

[pearl cedar]

yeah thats why people slept on China

China's gonna be good at this game for a LONG time to come

[queen drift]

I think it's Fragi (when not on Rein), Zappis and Linkzr/Taimou

[pearl stratus]

I wouldn't even say, up till this point right now, Fragi was underperforming

[pearl cedar]

its just the corruption that ruined the scene

[pearl stratus]

Fragi was playing well.

[drowsy oracle]

i legit hope we get china vs SK and we probably will

that would be the best matchup

[pearl stratus]

But when he can't Rein, Guxue can dominate on all other tanks.

[rare sonnet]

Lol USA advert

[warped axle]

Oof this ad is very outdated

[paper crag]

lol

[queen drift]

yeah thats why i said when not on rein

[karmic grotto]

@pearl stratus Gexue vs xQc?

[queen drift]

on rein, fragi dominates

off rein, hes lost

[pearl stratus]

Guxue hands down

All the way.

Not even close.

[karmic grotto]

lul

[pearl stratus]

xQc is a ladder tank.

[karmic grotto]

Yeah

[pearl stratus]

He plays like a ladder tank.

[warped axle]

xQc if he doesn't tilt is great

Not as great as Guxue

[pearl stratus]

Yeah, but even when he doesn't tilt

I wouldn't take him over Guxue.

Especially since Guxue speaks basic korean.

So you can fit him in any roster.

[warped axle]

Guxue looks as good as Fissure

[karmic grotto]

Hmm

[drowsy oracle]

guxue is the better tank, his rein is comparable to fragis plus he has god tier winston

[rare sonnet]

Eggs queue sea

[karmic grotto]

So he's specialized

Hmm

[drowsy oracle]

plus his hammonds looked pretty interesting

[warped axle]

LHCloudy would have been the smarter pick

[little silo]

My poor Winland

[warped axle]

Or chronodota

[little silo]

Can they reverse sweep

[queen drift]

its such a shame that Shanghai was shit

there

[pearl stratus]

I think Fragi wasn't a bad pick though, he has OWL experience, etc.

[queen drift]

s so much talent in china

[pearl stratus]

Also.

[paper crag]

i wonder if we'll see a chinese player on a nonchinese team soon

[queen drift]

overlooked bc of shanghai

[pearl stratus]

No one really knew about half of these new tanks prior to the Qualifiers.

[paper crag]

chinese as in a national of china, not chinese american/canadian/etc

[pearl stratus]

I personally didn't know of Guxue prior to Bangkok Qualifiers.

[little silo]

Like Benbest and Brasils main tank

[rare sonnet]

People don’t watch T2 lol

[queen drift]

benbest was around

[little silo]

didnt know him before

[pearl stratus]

I watch some T2, but not Chinese Contenders typically.

[queen drift]

chinese contenders is great

[pearl stratus]

Once MY got dicked over my interest in Chinese contenders dropped.

[queen drift]

you should start watching

[warped axle]

Broadcast.gg is going to be casting Chinese and SA Contenders

Excited for that

[pearl stratus]

I'm definitely going to watching now.

Especially with the potential for 3 Academy Teams in the region

[frozen granite]

a lotta people i kno be sleepin on china

[pearl stratus]

Also - Leave.

[queen drift]

rude

/s

[pearl stratus]

Who was always one of my favorite flex to watch.

[frozen granite]

they were all like, oh finland is gonna roll china ezpz

[pearl stratus]

Then he went to play Pubg.

[frozen granite]

boi dey were wrong

[pearl stratus]

Like an asshole.

[rare sonnet]

Crowd so packed rn

[queen drift]

i dont think many people thought china would get rolled

[frozen granite]

guxue my man

[pearl stratus]

With their roster I didn't think they'd get rolled.

The only team I thought was going to be rolled was UK, honestly.

But the Fusions swap was 900IQ

[queen drift]

wow

look at those stats

[rare sonnet]

Oof

[frozen granite]

I think UK did really well

[warped axle]

GUXUE WHAT

[rare sonnet]

OOOOOOF

[paper crag]

other than people who extrapolated hard from SHD, i think it was more that people thought Finland is the stronger team rather than China being a weak team

[pearl stratus]

@queen drift Did you see his Qualifier stats for the Thailand game?
