I hope SK does Symm Torb defence again

[gilded peak]

Dive on some maps

[forest raven]

Nano symm

[karmic grotto]

nano symettra pls

[little silo]

Sk attack Bastion lets go

[warped axle]

Fleta on a good team

[pearl stratus]

AU notoriously hates Goats. And does everything they can to not run it

So they get that respect from me.

[gilded peak]

FLETA and CARPE!!!!

I wanna see how they'll do as a duo

[worn falcon]

Fleta, carpe, jjonak

[warped axle]

I think switching out Ark is a mistake

[pearl stratus]

I don't.

[little silo]

Anamo is great man

[pearl stratus]

Anamo is a stronger player.

[worn falcon]

Jjonak beign best GM Asia

[pearl stratus]

by far.

[warped axle]

How

[pearl stratus]

He's literally better on every support?

[warped axle]

At best they look the same

[queen drift]

Ark is only superior in calling

If they dont need a caller, they dont need ark

[karmic grotto]

@warped axle bruh

[queen drift]

rather if they dont need ark to call they dont need ark

I would assume Fate or Fury is calling now

[pearl stratus]

Yeah, I love Ark he's a great personality.

[sullen berry]

Akraken: you all underestimate my power

[pearl stratus]

But Anamo is just stronger.

[worn falcon]

I want those blue-ish colors

[warped axle]

Sheesh

[forest raven]

if you're a fuckin fair dinkum fuckin full grown aussie this is what you'd have for breakfast ya fuckin dog cunt
a fuckin vb LONG NECK at 20 to 8 in the fuckin mornin
get that up ya

[gilded peak]

I'm calling it, SK is gonna play Torb

[queen drift]

Is this the first time there's been no Lunatic-Hai players in WC?

[pearl stratus]

Even if you Winston-lab'd it back in the day.

[warped axle]

This mindset came out of nowhere

[pearl stratus]

He had better stats on every hero.

[gilded peak]

Fleta is technically Lunatic Hai

[queen drift]

no hes not

[forest raven]

Anamo also had far less playtime

[queen drift]

seoul is not lunatic hai

[forest raven]

Seoul is GSV

[gilded peak]

He actually joined Lunatic Hai

Lost Apex Season 4

[north tendon]

australia wins ezclap

[wind creek]

jinxed

[gilded peak]

Then it disbanded

[warped axle]

Fleta won the Seoul cup with LH

[hidden osprey]

Casters curse

[gilded peak]

The Seoul Cup was against China right? The MY?

[forest raven]

Bren is the best talent in OW

[hidden osprey]

agreed

[queen drift]

agree

[warped axle]

I think

[karmic grotto]

start the fucking match

[north tendon]

they are all hilarious

[queen drift]

Bren and Uber are great

[hidden osprey]

The one true oracle

[north tendon]

im gonna miss goldenboy

[warped axle]

Bren is my favorite

[little silo]

I like Reinforce the most

[gilded peak]

SK ain't gonna underestimate...

[queen drift]

I think theyre having problems in game

[drowsy oracle]

this desk is amazing

[pearl stratus]

I mean

Bren's not wrong.

[queen drift]

its still not live on viewer

[north tendon]

who are you going to spectate

[worn falcon]

@north tendon what? He is gonna left?

[north tendon]

yeah, hes gonna work with the rock's new show

next year

[gilded peak]

Ah I see

[warped axle]

Goldenboy is still doing OWL fyi

[pearl stratus]

He's still available for e-sports though

[warped axle]

Same as before

[north tendon]

[little silo]

titan games yeah

[north tendon]

[warped axle]

Yeah he does week 3 still

[pearl stratus]

I mean his studio is probably like..

[worn falcon]

Goldeboy Is so fresh on desk

[pearl stratus]

[north tendon]

[gilded peak]

Montecristo and Doa are casting tomorrow?

[warped axle]

ZP needs bigger glasses

[drowsy oracle]

J LUL K E

[hidden osprey]

Is Jake really that short?

[little silo]

Oh Monte is gonna talk smack

[pearl stratus]

ZP is really tall

[worn falcon]

Also Jake, I was not expecting him being a good caster tho

[hidden osprey]

Check his Twitter Lenn lol

[forest raven]

I think ZP's like 6'3" or some shit

[vagrant niche]

ZP is just tall af

[little silo]

oh boy

[pearl stratus]

Yeah ZP is like 6'2 to 6'4. he's a giant.

[gilded peak]

Busan? Thats unfair guys lol

[hidden osprey]

I feel like Jake was a bit nervous today

[gilded peak]

Home advatange XD

[north tendon]

jake is pretty good at this tbh

[ruby pendant]

big improvement compared to before

[pearl stratus]

I think DPS is going to be the big difference between these two teams.

[sullen berry]

I'm skeptical how much his tone is going to pop off

[little silo]

what a twitter account

[north tendon]

SEE

WHAT A START

[worn falcon]

Triple healer

[sullen berry]

Hanzo v JJonak

POTG

[hidden osprey]

:woah:

[gilded peak]

smart swap I'll say

[potent verge]

whats the score of finland vs china ?

[north tendon]

CKM>AKM

[gilded peak]

not committing

[pearl stratus]

3-1

[sullen berry]

I bet he would have saved that highlight

[pearl stratus]

Finland got wreeeeecked.

Finlost.

[potent verge]

oh ok

[sullen berry]

now now

[potent verge]

rip winland

[sullen berry]

it's only the first frag on the first map

[rare sonnet]

Anamo just a sat in spawn to swap off lucio and back again to reset his amp cooldowns

[surreal dragon]

whats patch is this on?

[pearl stratus]

Newest

[sullen berry]

what impact could that possibly have?

[queen drift]

1.29

[gilded peak]

1.29

The new torb patch

[worn falcon]

Holy smokes

[queen drift]

I can tell that Fleta isnt very comfortable on Tracer

[surreal dragon]

ah okay

[gilded peak]

Fleta tracer is good?

[pearl stratus]

Good enough for OWWC.

Probably not OWL

[forest raven]

They got Fleta on the team to make him play tracer

[queen drift]

Fleta is mechanically great

but hes making mistakes on tracer

a lot

[rare sonnet]

Jjonak rekt

[north tendon]

what is up with jonak today

[pearl stratus]

This isn't a great Jonak meta.

To be honest.

[gilded peak]

He's Zen, always pick on Zen

[pearl stratus]

There's a lot less time to just focus and protect him

[gilded peak]

Eliminate the easiest hero to kill

[north tendon]

thats true

[karmic grotto]

he can also go ana

[rare sonnet]

Jonak is only exceptional at zen

[pearl stratus]

His Ana is solid too

[worn falcon]

Jesus, those pharah shots

[forest raven]

Damn the live viewer is like 30-40 seconds ahead of the stream

[rare sonnet]

Not exceptional

[pearl stratus]

But he's been protected for an entire stage.

And now you can't do that.

[rare sonnet]

Not really, mercy just got nerfed so he can’t be pocketed

[surreal dragon]

this is so tragiv

[warped axle]

I didn't realize group stage was still going on

[worn falcon]

They're so fast

[vagrant niche]

this is looking ez like i expected

[gilded peak]

Aus is gonna experience post-trauma

lol XD

[karmic grotto]

buff mercy

[gilded peak]

Heck no

Mercy meta sucked

[rare sonnet]

Tbh make mercy more skilled

[hidden osprey]

y i k e s

[gilded peak]

All by the books

[worn falcon]

Jjonak is Zen onetrick?

[hidden osprey]

I feel like this is gonna be very one sided tonight

[queen drift]

no

he plays ana too

[gilded peak]

Who's the shotcaller for korea?

[warped axle]

Boy I sure love seeing the flex god Fleta on brig duty

[queen drift]

probably Fate or Fury

[little silo]

well he is a zen god

[queen drift]

hes just as good on ana

[little silo]

His Ana is good but not on the same level as his Zen

[sullen berry]

his zen is okay very well known in the OW League

[worn falcon]

Yeah, I saw some of his streams with ana

[gilded peak]

??? Why did he emp?

Where was the dive from Aus?

[limber pine]

Jonak is nutty

[queen drift]

lol jjonak

[gilded peak]

Horrible EMP

[worn falcon]

Holy nuts

[queen drift]

you watching live @limber pine ?

that 5k

4k *

[limber pine]

I’m in the arena yes

[warped axle]

Denmark should have made it in lmao this team is a gimmick

[rare sonnet]

Lol fate

[queen drift]

[gilded peak]

Oh nice

[ruby pendant]

mvp

[worn falcon]

WTF jjonak

[queen drift]

he knows you talking shit

[karmic grotto]

rip

[gilded peak]

Well damn... Game 1 ended faster than the hype video

[karmic grotto]

Jjonak vs Boombox, wanna see that one

[whole patio]

lol kill carpe and jjonak still frags your team

[forest raven]

Live viewer is fuckin great @queen drift

[queen drift]

ikr

[forest raven]

Just get to watch Carpe on McCree all round

[queen drift]

yep

[rare sonnet]

How far ahead of stream are you @limber pine

[queen drift]

i was on fleta

till carpe mccree

[karmic grotto]

also, why didnt aus

swap

[limber pine]

No clue

[queen drift]

minimum of 40s

[whole patio]

no confidence in any other comps maybe?

[karmic grotto]

thinking going mercy and pharah against Carpe and jjonak is suicide

[queen drift]

cuz thats live viewer

probably like 10s more

[karmic grotto]

better to play goats then

[rare sonnet]

Owwc viewer is 1m ahead

[queen drift]

ah i thought it was 40

[rare sonnet]

It was earlier

[queen drift]

its faster now?

[rare sonnet]

During USA

[worn falcon]

Mica isn't my cup of tea because hype, but I guess that works

[queen drift]

so live live is probably like 2m ahead

[vagrant niche]

There's no helping Australia ZP

they are done

[karmic grotto]

Why aus so scared

[gilded peak]

ZP?

[karmic grotto]

saw no teamplay

[rare sonnet]

Imagine if Finland beat sk

[gilded peak]

Everybody has a plan, until they get punched in the mouth.

[wind creek]

sym and torb 🤔

[rare sonnet]

And sk was 2nd seed

And played China, who would win

[gilded peak]

Aus may as well play Sym and Torb. No chance of them winning anyways

[north tendon]

custa torb

[hidden osprey]

[vagrant niche]

[wind creek]

this might be imbalanced but it's very entertaining

[north tendon]

weakest link so far

[worn falcon]

Carpe

[north tendon]

its a good hold

[gilded peak]

That's what scary about SK to be honest. They know how to clutch

[worn falcon]

Holy smokes

[karmic grotto]

[north tendon]

good job

[worn falcon]

Daaaaaamn

[north tendon]

[ruby pendant]

[gilded peak]

Now to see if AUS can cap the first point

[wind creek]

attack torb is the way

[vagrant niche]

man, do you think they going to even take the first point?

[north tendon]

alternate timeline bois

[sullen berry]

@hidden osprey watching this match remotely just to eke out the final result asap while at work

[worn falcon]

Fleta DF

[forest wharf]

Ckm genji vs akm genji who wins

[north tendon]

TRILL

[vagrant niche]

well they got 1

[frosty nebula]

Carpe unlucky with those EMPs

[gilded peak]

I didn't know this was Sombra meta

I was hoping to see Carpe Widow

[frosty nebula]

also how tf did fleta get that pulsebomb so fast

[north tendon]

POG

[forest wharf]

By clicking on people

[north tendon]

OMG

TRILL IN OWL

that struggle though lul

[gilded peak]

To be honest, Fleta and Carpe are underperforming in my opinion

[forest wharf]

Carpe switch plz

[ruby pendant]

[north tendon]

WHAT IS THIS BLIZZCON

[ruby pendant]

always easy after they take out jonak

[north tendon]

CKM DOOMFIST D:

[gilded peak]

[versed crystal]

[paper crag]

[forest wharf]

Yea trill is on sydney drop bears

[gilded peak]

Yeah, Torb is meta guys!

[versed crystal]

[worn falcon]

Carpe my boy

Jjonak is daddy

[north tendon]

china feels like the strongest team so far

[little holly]

Doomfist feeding lol

[molten skiff]

trill is aussie guxue?

[versed crystal]

nah

I would say uk

[north tendon]

psh

[vagrant niche]

naw, we done after the break

[gilded peak]

Trill was amazing

[north tendon]

trill was the only reason they even got that far

[little holly]

The UK absolutely annihilated the US

[versed crystal]

Break Time ResidentSleeper

Big Ego Small Brains = USA

[gilded peak]

Closest game AUS will probably ever get

[north tendon]

kinda true

[wind creek]

china had a greater showing

[little holly]

@versed crystal couldn't agree more

[wind creek]

US at least won the first game

finland had one round victory and that was basically it

[little holly]

Felt good to see Muma's smug grin wiped off

[versed crystal]

China 3-0 finland Omegalul

[gilded peak]

We will have to see which is bigger rape, China vs Finland or SK vs AUS

[versed crystal]

Are we gonna see ShangDragons 40-0 in next OWL???

[wind creek]

china v finland

[vast geode]

China v Finland was the bigger rape

[wind creek]

aus is the clear underdog and they're putting up a fight at least

[gilded peak]

Uh... None of China team is on Shanghai Dragons, I think

[wind creek]

finland is just washed up

[versed crystal]

Aus is probs gonna lose

[forest wharf]

Nah theres only 28 games next season, it'll be 0-28

[vast geode]

Tbh only reason Finland put up a fight on Hanamura was cuz Linkzr

[gilded peak]

Oh? Only 28?

[wind creek]

i want my upside down bois to at least win a game

[tawny sigil]

is it over for today?

[versed crystal]

Korean is just too good at getting extreme Value

[gilded peak]

1 more game

[versed crystal]

let's see

[wind creek]

if they can get a win before the last control map that's a victory in my book

[tawny sigil]

after this one i mean

[versed crystal]

proably another close one

[paper crag]

SBB

[vast geode]

At this point they can get at most 3:1

[versed crystal]

Add in Pine

I wanna see Big Boss Pine pop the heads

[gilded peak]

Pine is very inconsistent

[wind creek]

i would buy 1000 lootboxes if they draw 2:2 and then win on the last control map

[fallow plaza]

as a mercy main im sad how pro players play mercy ... with the ingame viewer you can see they should have a mercy only substitute

[forest wharf]

@gilded peak yea 28 games but 6 more teams so mostly evens out

[vast geode]

Pine is risky in his playstyle

[versed crystal]

I mean when Pine works he wokrs

his kinda like Pirate Ship

[gilded peak]

Yeah, but Pine has a weak mentality

[versed crystal]

If he works it stomps

but If it doesn't just another throw

[vast geode]

Weak mentality?

[versed crystal]

Probs

[gilded peak]

He fell to depression after Stage 1 of OWL

[wind creek]

it's either gonna be UK vs SK or Overwatch Asian Cup 2018

[versed crystal]

He gets anger or depressed .very easy

[gilded peak]

Because of the reverse sweep against London Spitfire

[vast geode]

Still better than Effect

[north tendon]

@fallow plaza how do they play her?

[versed crystal]

hey now

Effect is good

[vast geode]

Effect was a fucking wreck majority of the season

[gilded peak]

Effect is just dumb, he is like a 5 year old who does things by himself when he loses

[paper crag]

Effect is a self-proclaimed god

you give him the respect he thinks he deserves

[vast geode]

Mentally he’s troubled

[versed crystal]

Effect just has emotional issues

[north tendon]

effect changed tho guys, hes in a much better state mentally

after aero

[versed crystal]

Yeah

[vast geode]

Bless Aero

[versed crystal]

effect is better now

[gilded peak]

Doubt it. We'll have to see next season

[warped axle]

One American chick in the Korean crowd lmao

[north tendon]

its obvious from his streams

hes very chill and laughs a lot

[gilded peak]

Ah, I don't watch their streams lol

Oh dang, lucky snipe?

[worn falcon]

Ooof

[gilded peak]

I just wanna see Carpe use Widow...

[versed crystal]

did you guys see pine smash his camera and keyboard on stream ?

xD

[gilded peak]

He did? O.o

[versed crystal]

yeah

1 sec lemme find the clip

[north tendon]

damn

what triggered it

[gilded peak]

Hmm, not finding anything on google search

[upper niche]

what match was it in?

[gilded peak]

Probably a stream

[vast geode]

Is it me or does Australia only win fights when Jjonak is dead?

[gilded peak]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drRoWDv9c6Q

First few secs

[north tendon]

you need to take out the final boss in order to win

[vast geode]

The moment they give Jjonak any space to work with they lose

[versed crystal]

sometimes Pine acts like a child

[north tendon]

damn thats some major tilt

[versed crystal]

yeah

[north tendon]

but goes to show hes human like anyone else

[gilded peak]

That's every person that gets too competitive to be honest

[north tendon]

lol

[gilded peak]

Problem about video games is that, we have something in our hands

[paper crag]

idk if that's 100% serious though

[gilded peak]

Sports people will just scream and smash their helmet or something

[versed crystal]

I mean when i get mad i just go play some Minecraft or Heros of the storm

xD

[paper crag]

korean streamers overreact for donations etc

i mean, non-korean streamers do too

[versed crystal]

Xqc

Desk Slammer

[gilded peak]

and then there are girl gamer streamers

[paper crag]

i don't watch pine's stream though so idk if that's typical of him

[north tendon]

the thing thats hardest for me to not rage at are those bs flukes that deny your big plays or some form of lag

[paper crag]

i only watch positive bois

like mirage, emongg

[versed crystal]

I play on Asia and NA servers

[tawny sigil]

THE RULES ARE SIMPLE

YOU LAUGH YOU LOSE

[versed crystal]

just saying Gm and masters in Asia is much more toxic

[forest raven]

Watch Harbleu and Surefour

[gilded peak]

How is Asia servers in terms of servers?

[versed crystal]

if you mess up you will get your ass yelled out

[gilded peak]

From the NA, I mean.

[versed crystal]

Asia servers

[north tendon]

EU is pretty toxic though

they also nitpick

[paper crag]

is jake gonna transition into commentating and leave OWL as a player, or only when OWL isn't in session?

[versed crystal]

I can't play on EU without hitting 10k ping

[gilded peak]

I've only met few toxic people when I played

[versed crystal]

I mean Koreans take ranked very srsly

[gilded peak]

Anubis! Will we finally see Carpe on Widow?

[versed crystal]

2cp OmegaLul

TORBBBB

[rare sonnet]

I think Jake will only go full caster mode when outlaws drop him

[gilded peak]

Oh damn... wait... this is the map that Korea raped Aus in 8 min

[rare sonnet]

In like Season 3.

[paper crag]

how likely is that?

i don't pay much attention to Outlaws lol

[sullen berry]

@gilded peak ah, good times

[versed crystal]

Sym and torb

Omegalul

[paper crag]

symm is gonna get switched

[versed crystal]

[north tendon]

btw, what is no nut nov lol

[forest raven]

Aus defended for like 3 minutes on 1st

[paper crag]

yeahhh white team color isn't the best for molten core lol

[karmic grotto]

aus is fucked up

[potent perch]

LMAO

[karmic grotto]

SK too strong

[potent perch]

this jjonak kid is pretty decent /s

“Jjonak protected by his supports”

Motherfuckers he is the support

😂

[paper crag]

look at me

i'm the dps now

[north tendon]

emp can be so cheap tbh lol

[gilded peak]

Woah, why commit AUS?

Why did they waste a nano???

[sullen berry]

CKM DO SOMETHING

[gilded peak]

Custa is MVP guys

[north tendon]

that combo

[gilded peak]

Woah, wait what?!?!

[north tendon]

HOW

[gilded peak]

That cancelled the EMP?

[sullen berry]

aaaand there it is

[potent perch]

what cancelled emp

[gilded peak]

The grab cancelled EMP?

[little holly]

Losing to a bug

yikes

[vagrant niche]

HOW does a grav cancel EMP?

[gilded peak]

I want to say because of the motion?

[north tendon]

LOL HAM

[little holly]

Hopefully Zarya gets her fix soon

[potent perch]

what is happening, I dont want to open it up again

[karmic grotto]

fucking bad EMP

[gilded peak]

I think it was definetely a bug

[north tendon]

bois with the world cup viewer

[karmic grotto]

the fuck you gonna emp in front of them

[vagrant niche]

@karmic grotto how is that bad?

[sullen berry]

"that was a pogchamp in real life"

[north tendon]

check out that grav

[little holly]

Hopefully they nerf her grav along with it too

[gilded peak]

Like the grab somehow cancelled her motion to EMP

[drowsy oracle]

NOT A BUG ITS A FEATURE

[vagrant niche]

how did it got canceled?

[rare sonnet]

Grav cancels movement abilities

[karmic grotto]

should have emp'd fro behind or blind spot where you cant get stunned

or graved

[rare sonnet]

Emp makes you hop

[sullen berry]

@drowsy oracle YOU'RE HOLDING IT WRONG

[gilded peak]

Ah kk, that makes sense then

[karmic grotto]

if that sombra emped from far above

[gilded peak]

Bad timing from the EMP then.

[karmic grotto]

yes

[gilded peak]

Should have waited a second later

[rare sonnet]

Clearly emp is a movement ability

[karmic grotto]

surefour would have done better

[paper crag]

is that really how it works though?

[karmic grotto]

but yeah, its not s4

lol

[drowsy oracle]

most ults u can't use in emp

[gilded peak]

Kinda yes, like Lucio

[paper crag]

like i know sound barrier needs to hit the ground

same with earthshatter

[gilded peak]

He jumps and if you kill him before he slams, ult is wasted

[little holly]

SK only got it with a minute

[paper crag]

but sombra emp can be activated midair

[gilded peak]

Yeah, but the midair jump didn't finish

[paper crag]

without sombra having to hit the ground

[rare sonnet]

Would it be balanced if EMP deleted blizzard and grav even after they were placed

[gilded peak]

Before it reached the highest point, the grab cancelled the movement

[paper crag]

so the animation itself got canceled

[gilded peak]

Yep

[karmic grotto]

@gilded peak thats why, emp from behind

[paper crag]

okay makes sense

[gilded peak]

Like pushing a mid air Rein ult

and for the love of crap, please play Widow Carpe!

[paper crag]

yeah, except pushing rein into the air with whole hog doesn't cancel the movement afaik

[north tendon]

CKM WAKING UP

[paper crag]

earthshatter just goes through once rein lands

[gilded peak]

Yeah, but no shield then, quite opened til you hit the ground

[paper crag]

yeah, i'm just speaking strictly from "is the animation canceled" perspective

does grav cancel earthshatter too then?

[rare sonnet]

Idk

[gilded peak]

Maybe? Because the Grab nuls a lot of movements now

and the Grab is midair

[paper crag]

carpe mei

[forest raven]

Carpmei

[north tendon]

nice tran

smh

this guy is so bad

[gilded peak]

Feel bad for Aus, they have some good players this year

[north tendon]

sadly not enough

[karmic grotto]

being honest

[forest raven]

Trill not in NA contenders

[karmic grotto]

aus could

use

roadhog to counter df

[gilded peak]

Good boop

[paper crag]

lol carpe being cheeky

[little holly]

Roadhog?

[karmic grotto]

yes

hooking doomfist

[north tendon]

lol

[karmic grotto]

then killing it

[little holly]

The only hero that counters DF is Sombra and she has to literally sit on him

[gilded peak]

Yeah, Carpe is just screwing around. For someone who was so humble

[paper crag]

just had to jump on top of dva ult before cryofreeze

[little holly]

DF is finally getting nerfed thankfully

[forest raven]

Reaper shits on doomfist

Problem is then you have a reaper on your team

[north tendon]

dat troll

[karmic grotto]

actually

[gilded peak]

Carpe is trying to pull a Flow3r I think

[karmic grotto]

why nobody plays reaper?

[gilded peak]

No Goat, is I wanna say

[warped axle]

ResidentSleeper

[karmic grotto]

reaper + zarya = death to heroes?

[forest raven]

He's very context specific

Gets shit on most of the time

[gilded peak]

^

[little holly]

Reaper is trash and only viable on certain maps e.g. Nepal shrine

[gilded peak]

Um... Why did he dash to the bomb?

[forest raven]

He's a good brawler but if the enemy team has tanks you're useless

If the enemy team has Pharah you're useless

[molten skiff]

WHAT UPSET

[little holly]

Hopefully Blizzard deleted DF

[forest wharf]

You'd think, but he just gets stunned and rekt

[little holly]

I'm sure many won't miss him

[forest raven]

If the enemy team is dive you're useless

[worn falcon]

Those emotes tho

[upper niche]

WTF is that stage/stadium they're using?!

Are they in Honda Centre or something?

[paper crag]

lol order is restored

[gilded peak]

Anaheim Convention Center

[sullen berry]

[forest raven]

Anaheim convention centre probs

[sullen berry]

I'm impressed

[dry verge]

GB vs KR and CN vs CA

[upper niche]

Danm, that's a bloody massive venue for a convention centre to have.

[karmic grotto]

No chance for aus

[forest raven]

I mean

[sullen berry]

oh yeah

[forest raven]

It's blizzcon

lol

[upper niche]

Empty seats but

[sullen berry]

filled to the brim over a decade of attendees

[gilded peak]

Yep, they always had their Convention in Anaheim

It never changes.

[paper crag]

i feel like everyone on SK played well to the point that the team as a whole crushed the game but nobody stood out, but not in a bad way

[gilded peak]

Too bad Anaheim is a bad city to be in

[paper crag]

granted, i wasn't watching the game that intently

lol

[rare sonnet]

@upper niche it’s the LA Convention centre where vidcon and stuff are also hosted

[karmic grotto]

SK must be nolife scrimming

[forest wharf]

Hey guys did you know diablo is coming to the switch???

[gilded peak]

Yeah?

They didn't stop advertising to the Blizzcon

[versed crystal]

LETS GO

Korea is the pog

[gilded peak]

Well that was fun.

[versed crystal]

When is the semifinals?

[upper niche]

[gilded peak]

Tomorrow at 9:30am PDT -8

[versed crystal]

[versed crystal]

I need rewatch some doomfist plays and carpe

[upper niche]

Surprised they're doing all four maps tomorrow

[versed crystal]

XD

[paper crag]

how long is blizzcon itself?

[upper niche]

Would have thought they'd either do two in the morning and two in the evening, or two tomorrow and two on Sunday

[gilded peak]

2 days

They are gonna rush semi and finals

[versed crystal]

I through it was 3

[paper crag]

yeah, so they probably want to wrap up the whole thing within that time

[upper niche]

I suppose they also have Hearthstone and WoW and Starcraft tourneys to run.

[dry verge]

Nope just Friday and Saturday

[versed crystal]

Is Ashe gonna make it OWL season 2?

[paper crag]

are they not running concurrently?

[north tendon]

so its china vs canada right

and uk vs korea

[versed crystal]

Yeah

[rare sonnet]

Tomorrow is semi/semi/3rd/finals

[north tendon]

[gilded peak]

Whos playing first?

[versed crystal]

XQC claps

[drowsy fulcrum]

[gilded peak]

I honestly want China to win, so that XQC won't get shit for the MVP thing

[rare sonnet]

@versed crystal yeah, we’ll be closer to next hero than this one

[versed crystal]

I think I’m switch from mcree/Hanzo/mei main to Ashe/Hanzo/Mei main

[forest wharf]

https://i.redd.it/m7il4w1s10w11.png

[versed crystal]

She just looks like a better version of mcree

[forest wharf]

[gilded peak]

Sad about Hydration honestly

[paper crag]

did hydration even play today?

[gilded peak]

Dude got switched for raping UK

[versed crystal]

[gilded peak]

Then they put the noob Zacharee choking

[karmic grotto]

[gilded peak]

Sorry mate, as much as I liked UK destroying US, I'm rooting for SK.

[versed crystal]

[upper niche]

[paper crag]

[molten skiff]

not sure if that's what jjonak actually said

[gilded peak]

Screenshot? I wanna see lol

[molten skiff]

[rare sonnet]

When he said that I just thought he was stupid lol

[forest raven]

I fuckin love jjonak

[versed crystal]

Screw the USA I’m Chinese/Japanese

[forest raven]

We need more people like him

[rare sonnet]

Imagine not knowing players

[paper crag]

well, he actually did say "i don't know who's on UK team"

[forest raven]

The trash talk is great

[versed crystal]

UK for life

[karmic grotto]

Boombox gonna teach Asia why British colonialized Asia in the past

[worn hornet]

with the US out I'm on team Canada

[vagrant niche]

THE EMP WENT OFF

WTF

[worn hornet]

for Note

[versed crystal]

XD

[gilded peak]

and then Asia is gonna teach why everything that British uses is Asian lol

[vagrant niche]

i'm so confused

[worn hornet]

⬆

[north tendon]

what did jonak say

[gilded peak]

So if the EMP went off, did it work on Zarya?

[little holly]

@gilded peak *Chinese made

[paper crag]

he was asked how he feels about the match against UK, and Jjonak said "I don't know who's on the UK team so..."

[gilded peak]

XD

[north tendon]

oh

damn

[little holly]

Pretty sure East Asian countries hates one another

[gilded peak]

Fu, did I close too soon?

[versed crystal]

Canada is gonna teach China how to sit down

[paper crag]

is there anyone other than boombox who's a UK OWL player

[gilded peak]

SK hates every asian, just letting you know

[ruby pendant]

@versed crystal China 3-0

[north tendon]

china look so much better though

[karmic grotto]

3-0*

[north tendon]

they trashed finland effortlessly

[paper crag]

lmao every asian country secretly despises the other asian country

[gilded peak]

Is Finals gonna be best of 7?

[drowsy oracle]

XQC is entertaining but GUXUE is literally a deity

[paper crag]

especially Korea/China/Japan

[worn hornet]

so does it really take a month for these vods to get out? I'm stuck outside tomorrow

[versed crystal]

Shang hai dragons 40-0 next season....

[gilded peak]

3-1, 3-0, 3-0, 3-0

[north tendon]

why though ado, is it like a thing where you try to distance yourself from your own kind

[gilded peak]

Maybe, because Shangai Dragon is filled with Koreans now

[drowsy oracle]

3-0verwatch

[paper crag]

well, K/C/J have pretty deep history

that go pretty far back

[north tendon]

oh yeah, absolutely

[little holly]

Korea is less than 100 years old

[ruby pendant]

brutal wars

[versed crystal]

Fusion carried UK

[forest wharf]

How'd shd being filled with koreans work last season

[paper crag]

and China was at war with other asian countries nearby, etc

[rare sonnet]

Lol

[gilded peak]

Why be inside the comms? That's so dumb to hear honestly

[wind creek]

incoherent screaming

[versed crystal]

Lol

[paper crag]

is Fusions on a team?

[north tendon]

I dont even get the taipei thing

[gilded peak]

I never understand what they say when they go on comms

Taipei is Taiwan

[drowsy fulcrum]

@gilded peak in that case

[rare sonnet]

I want to know

[gilded peak]

They like to call themselves Chinese Taipei

[north tendon]

yeah

[rare sonnet]

What did they say

[north tendon]

why though

[drowsy fulcrum]

"point point point"
"dva dva dva"
"go go go go"
"drop drop drop"
"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

[gilded peak]

FU... why is SK playing first...

I want to sleep...

[forest wharf]

Its because china doesnt recognize taiwan as a seperate country

[worn hornet]

yeah shit. stuck at the in-laws during the finals

[little holly]

@north tendon China does not recognise Taipai or Taiwan as a country. It's legal reasons.

[warped axle]

monkey monkey monkey

[gilded peak]

China hates Taiwan

[versed crystal]

XQC has survivable XQCdies 12 times

[north tendon]

oh, I heard

[rare sonnet]

They cut comms because British swearing

I want to know

[gilded peak]

Like someone said before, every Asian countries hate each other

SK hates their own SK kind

[little holly]

Japan/China/Korea hate each other

[north tendon]

dont humans just hate each other tbh? lul

[forest wharf]

So blizzard has to put "chinese taipei" or china will be like fuck you blizzard

[versed crystal]

XQC cloths pog

[paper crag]

Taipei thing is pretty much this:
During WWII, China was under Japanese rule
After WWII, China has factions trying to regain control of the country
One faction drives out the other faction that was also very influential in Chinese independence
Driven out faction goes to the current Taiwanese territory, calls itself China
Mainland China says fuck you, we're the real China and you're mine too

[north tendon]

oh thats interesting ado

[paper crag]

Driven out faction forms ties with other countries, Mainland China says to other countries "don't be friends with that fake China"

[north tendon]

thanks for elaborating on this

[versed crystal]

Good history course

[paper crag]

they also try to force Taiwan out of UN, I'm not sure if they're actually out of the UN

but the whole Chinese Taipei thing is also a part of Mainland China pressuring other countries not to recognize Taiwan as a country

[drowsy oracle]

isn't this common knowledge

[versed crystal]

Well guys goodnight imma go grind few more sr

Cya

[paper crag]

hopefully it's a grind for positive SR

[worn hornet]

Did Taiwan ever drop their claim to mainland China?

[paper crag]

no idea

[tired anvil]

why would they?

[little holly]

@worn hornet Never

[rare sonnet]

Jayne pog

[paper crag]

i don't see why they would ever do that though

[drowsy oracle]

taiwan should just be taiwan let china be china and china let them have that island

[worn hornet]

Also technically they call themselves something like the Republic of China right?

[tired anvil]

It's a matter of national pride.

[paper crag]

yeahhhh but China want what China want

[little holly]

@worn hornet Mainland China is the People's Republic of China

[paper crag]

and yes, Taiwan's official name is also something something China

[versed crystal]

Ooo I see a dva cosplay

[paper crag]

Democratic Republic of China, maybe

[rare sonnet]

???

[paper crag]

not sure

[rare sonnet]

What happened

[wind creek]

stream ended

[north tendon]

so they were originally driven out because of a difference in ideas right

[tired anvil]

China is People's Republic of China. Taiwan is Republic of China

[worn hornet]

we took a turn from OW to geopolitics

[north tendon]

thats crazy

[tired anvil]

Something something, communists.

[wind creek]

good thing we're not talking about the whole japan and china thing...

[north tendon]

I just mentioned it because chinese taipei was in owwc

[paper crag]

yeah, SK also had factions vying for power after WWII

[north tendon]

was wondering

[worn hornet]

yeah don't call your Indian restaurant Naan King

[paper crag]

well, Korea

[drowsy oracle]

I WONDER

WHAT PART OF KOREA

[worn hornet]

wonder ooh I do I do what's in my wonder ball

[paper crag]

lol i'm not even talking about NK vs SK though

[rare sonnet]

Hearthstone stream over doubled in viewers lol

Nearly triple

And then they immediately lost 1/3

[paper crag]

Hearthstone arena looks pretty cozy

sucks they have to stand though

[north tendon]

outside of overwatch I liked that heroes of the stream hero reveal

[drowsy oracle]

north korea needs an ow team

[north tendon]

but that game put me to sleep

lol

[paper crag]

i just thought it was odd for HOTS to have an original hero

[north tendon]

oh, didnt they have some before?

[paper crag]

it always felt like "Blizzard All-Stars" to me

well, there may be "original" characters but at least from existing franchises

[wind creek]

this is a very chill stream

[whole patio]

wonder how zp is feeling about his predictions now

[north tendon]

well I meant by original as in they originated from heroes of the storm

[paper crag]

like Hammer wasn't really SC canon until she was added to HOTS, but she's still from SC

[north tendon]

not stuff like genji

[paper crag]

and then she was added into the SC universe

[north tendon]

yeah I wont count that

[paper crag]

but from what I gathered, the new character is literally original original, not from any existing Blizz franchise

[north tendon]

seems like it

well good design anyhow

[paper crag]

yeah the design itself was fine imo

it was just odd to see a "HOTS original" hero

[north tendon]

I can imagine

welp, time to watch all the ashe stuff again

tomorrow gon be good

[paper crag]

yeah i'm pretty excited to play Ashe

[north tendon]

I love the red eyes

[paper crag]

seems like McCree but better

[north tendon]

its those small details

we'll have to see

her reload is interesting

bob might be pretty unfun to play against

pretty much an aimbot

[karmic grotto]

Just like Torbs Turrent

[paper crag]

he's gonna be doomfist+turret

[karmic grotto]

Or soldiers ult

[north tendon]

yeah, with 1200 hp

and with nano might be crazy

[karmic grotto]

Yeah

[paper crag]

i'm guessing he doesn't stay for long

or does he have to be killed

that would be pretty broken

[karmic grotto]

He will disappear

[north tendon]

10 secs

[wind creek]

BOB is basically a 500% hard bastion

[north tendon]

yea idk about the damage but that would be insane lol

[paper crag]

what i like about him is that you could probably send him head on against a rein/orisa

and you can shoot from both sides

so somebody will land hits

[north tendon]

yeah, hes definitely a disruptor

can uppercut like fist

[sullen berry]

just like team UK

[north tendon]

ow dev team: I think our players loved doomfist, lets add ai ultimate doom

lul

[paper crag]

i'm just curious to see what her left click is like

[wind creek]

boop

[paper crag]

how many shots, dmg, fire rate

[forest raven]

Soon™

[paper crag]

and how much more she does when zoomed

[wind creek]

did you see emongg's stream earlier

[sullen berry]

I see a burst damage orisa when he starts firing at enemies

[north tendon]

you can count on your boy BTC when the ptr is out

hes so good with his analysis

[wind creek]

scoped in is like discount widow isnt it

[paper crag]

it seemed like there's no charge time like Widow though

[forest raven]

It's like Destiny ADS

Looks like, anyway

[wind creek]

and then scoped out is semi auto with a few rounds

[north tendon]

I heard her unscoped is 40 and 85 scoped

so scoped crit is 170 apparently

[wind creek]

dink

[north tendon]

thats a bit crazy

[paper crag]

40 feels a little underwhelming

[north tendon]

not factoring nano and damage boost

[wind creek]

wrong channel for this chat tbh

[forest raven]

40 feels low

[paper crag]

depends on fire rate though i guess

[forest raven]

If it's 40 it'd have to be a bit faster than McCree

[north tendon]

well her dynamite does hella damage but its slow

but it can blast if you fire it

[wind creek]

helps you shoot it

[paper crag]

what do you mean by slow? low DoT but long duration, or high explosion dmg but takes long before exploding?

[wind creek]

it flies in the air slowly

[north tendon]

takes a while to explode

[minor oar]

Jjonak when asked if he was scared of anyone on the UK roster
“Well, it’s hard for me to say because I barely know any names from that roster”

[wind creek]

and that

[paper crag]

oh okay

[north tendon]

i think jonak was just derpy like he tends to be with interviews

prolly forgot boom

[paper crag]

i wonder if there's any counterplay to dynamite though

[wind creek]

dodging the slow mo mine

[paper crag]

like, do you think you can shoot it while it's midair as Ashe's enemy?

[north tendon]

its slow so it wont get you if you move

[minor oar]

yeah he’s just messing around

[paper crag]

and destroy it/detonate it prematurely?

[minor oar]

friendly banter

[north tendon]

well ashe can detonate it with her gun

[paper crag]

or will it be just like flashbang where the only disruption against it is deflect

[north tendon]

dunno about enemy tho

[wind creek]

that would be cool

[paper crag]

i forget if matrix eats junkrat's concussion mines

[wind creek]

deflect dynamite and dash through it so it explodes in her face

[north tendon]

does

[paper crag]

but it doesn't eat the trap, right?

[north tendon]

nope dont think so

[sullen berry]

the one key thing you need to trigger her dynamite early is good aim

[drowsy oracle]

my god

the rul34 artists sure are quick

[sullen berry]

they had... enough to work with

[drowsy oracle]

ashe x mccree ofc

but

just think bob x orisa

i want to die

[minor oar]

Jeff mentioned on Emongg’s stream the hitbox of the dynamite is forgiving, so detonating it shouldn’t be a problem.

[wind creek]

bob x zenyatta

[north tendon]

I find it strange he doesnt talk

[wind creek]

i thought it was endearing

[north tendon]

not sure if hes not a talker or just not advanced like zen

yeah it suits him but was different

[wind creek]

tiny hat

tiny voice

[north tendon]

lol

also on ashe's backstory he used to be her butler before she got into crime

thats some real loyalty

[wind creek]

they kinda retconned mccree and hoped some other stuff wouldn't be noticed

like echo

aka athena 2

[edgy swallow]

uk beat usa???

what????

[fast basin]

im so sad

FInland AND France out

now im hoping for a Canada vs UK final

[edgy swallow]

aus vs south korea

rip australia dreams

[vast geode]

Who’s next?

Fucking lost interest after the 2 map SK vs AUS

[forest raven]

UK vs SK, Canada vs China

[vast geode]

UK vs SK no contest

C.A. vs CH is interesting though

[north tendon]

fusions will carry the UK to victory

just kidding, but would be funny

[sullen berry]

Time to finally rewatch the hot mess that was the USA vs UK matchup

Literally no idea if it was reverse swept or map 5

[forest raven]

Using the viewer 👀

[young grove]

But my boi finland

How did the team who got swept by france win against us

[sullen berry]

@forest raven yall nearly gave me a heart attac

My fault for not expecting spoilers ofc

[forest raven]

For what lmao

[hidden vault]

wait
