#

So D'va can't eat it, etc.

jagged crater Dec 7, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

to balance it, i imagine there's some hefty charge time for it

pearl stratus Dec 7, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

Since historically lasers aren't eaten by DM.

jagged crater Dec 7, 2018, 6:50 PM

#

might not be one shot perse

pearl stratus Dec 7, 2018, 6:50 PM

#

Which a hit scan that can't be eaten by D'va is going to be insane, if they ever figure it out.

jagged crater Dec 7, 2018, 6:50 PM

#

it could be a charged beam

pearl stratus Dec 7, 2018, 6:50 PM

#

I'd drop it out of one shot, for balance purposes, yeah.

jagged crater Dec 7, 2018, 6:50 PM

#

longer you charge, more damage you deal

pearl stratus Dec 7, 2018, 6:50 PM

#

But its something they're looking at.

jagged crater Dec 7, 2018, 6:50 PM

#

i can see it working

pearl stratus Dec 7, 2018, 6:50 PM

#

Railguns and burst rifles pop up constantly in their development games basically.

#

Which I can see because of how Orissa got developed.

#

Someone was fucking around and put a Bastion Gun on Rein's arm for one of their development games.

#

And they were like ".... Hey. Thats not bad."

#

I'd like to see more abilities that are like...

#

Recharge reduced when you hit. So you get punished for spam/whiff.

jagged crater Dec 7, 2018, 6:53 PM

#

like a lesser genji dash

#

people suggested mccree roll cd goes down if you get hs

#

i like these designs tho it promotes snowballing which can be fun if it isn't easy to pull off

pearl stratus Dec 7, 2018, 6:56 PM

#

I like it in concept but its impossible to balance imo.

#

Because you have to assume a pro will hit the requirement near 100%

#

Whereas some gold kid may get luck to get 40%

#

Look at Hook % disparity alone.

jagged crater Dec 7, 2018, 6:57 PM

#

works out for genji since it's a lot more situational

So day one
PhiliFusion vs LondonSpitfire
My prediction will win
BostonUprising vs NYExcelsior
Winner:
SeoulDynasty vs LAGladiators
Tough one, but i think will win
ShanghaiDragons vs HangzhouSpark
Tough, but will win their first game

torpid charm Dec 8, 2018, 12:16 AM

#

I’m stumped with a lot of my predictions

#

Going into the season blind once again

slow walrus Dec 8, 2018, 12:54 AM

#

SHD is gonna be way better
hard to tell with LAGLA until we see them w/o fissure lul
NYXL and LDN will always be nutty
Fusion will be better than last year, they've only upgraded tbh
Seoul I have no idea about honestly they're weird

#

BUP is probably middle of the pack but they're not gonna be like their stage 3 team at all

gaunt acorn Dec 8, 2018, 1:18 AM

#

HangzhouSpark > ShanghaiDragons

slow walrus Dec 8, 2018, 1:38 AM

#

do I like the team colors better? yeah

#

but SHD has 4 Kongdoo Panthera players, they got 2nd in KR contenders and will have good synergy

#

i'm just a little upset that Vancouver didn't get the runaways colors and GZ did instead lol that should have been a gimme

gaunt acorn Dec 8, 2018, 1:56 AM

#

vancouver was never interested in pink + blue

south pelican Dec 8, 2018, 2:10 AM

sullen berry Dec 8, 2018, 2:14 AM

@south pelican spark, dragons, hunters or charge?

south pelican Dec 8, 2018, 2:14 AM

gaunt acorn Dec 8, 2018, 2:15 AM

#

they have nice colours

#

but their roster..

sullen berry Dec 8, 2018, 2:15 AM

#

The Pacific Power rankings are realistically charge at the bottom

south pelican Dec 8, 2018, 2:16 AM

#

gz roster isnt that good i think

sullen berry Dec 8, 2018, 2:16 AM

#

But they have as much capital to earn over the first half of the season

#

Potential Im not afraid to admit could be lacking

south pelican Dec 8, 2018, 2:16 AM

#

dragons has alot of kdp players

#

and spark has Seven players

#

so i think dragons looking good this year

sullen berry Dec 8, 2018, 2:17 AM

#

Kdp had a lot more in their favour thoughout their contenders run

#

They just looked stumped on ilios and runaway managed to steal the mental proficiency in an 8 round grand finals matchup

south pelican Dec 8, 2018, 2:20 AM

#

yea but Vancouver wasn't in the question..

sullen berry Dec 8, 2018, 2:23 AM

south pelican Dec 8, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

i just dont think the Hunters will be that good..

sullen berry Dec 8, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

I'd argue YangXiaoLong could be two things

#

Pop off as a defensive hitscan

#

Or just washed out and not really competitive anymore

south pelican Dec 8, 2018, 2:25 AM

#

(i dont know anyone but Yveltal, Baconjack and LateYoung)

sullen berry Dec 8, 2018, 2:26 AM

#

And

#

They're not washed

#

Recent performance tells me they have a capable roster

#

And I know an all Chinese should never be overrated

#

They just won't make the same mistakes as the OG Dragons roster

and they only acquired elk for two way

#

how is that an upgrade

pearl stratus Dec 8, 2018, 3:20 AM

#

I mean

#

YXL was basically just Hitscan based Leave.

#

If he's even 90% as good as Leave still was.

#

He'll do fine

sullen berry Dec 8, 2018, 3:23 AM

#

It's probable

#

He wasn't called a deceny dps in Miraculous Youngster for nothing when they played against Lunatic Hai

#

Oof, when season 1 had a 45.38% korean roster and season 2 outdoes it with 57%. 106/186.
I mean 23 Americans...
The chinese teams don't even have chinese players aside from Chengdu Hunters. At least Paris Eternal has frenchmen on it...

Toronto and Vancouver, Canadian teams. All Korean players...

pearl stratus Dec 10, 2018, 4:44 AM

#

It's almost like teams want to win, so when one area produces the predominant majority of the best players it gets utilized.

#

Imagine baseball without the funnel from South America.

#

Other regions should just stop being shit, and support their scenes.

solar trout Dec 10, 2018, 4:49 AM

#

It is kinda funny that we have 2 Canadian-owned teams of all SKoreans and 3/4 Chinese-owned teams have mostly SKoreans, yet there is only 1 SKorean-owned team. You'd think with as many SKoreans professionals as there are that there would be more SKorean-owned teams

Eh their second dps is kind of whatever for Paris.

But yeah their tankline overall looks weak.

Chengdu, Toronto, Atlanta, Paris. Four teams I don't expect to do amazing starting off.

either way I'm glad to see college ow representation, I know young players like super/sinatraa are probably putting off college to play ow, and if the game dies in a few years, they either master a new game or have to go to college/get a job after all that time which is rough

#

at least this way people can get a community with a mindset oriented around professional play while still being able to earn a degree

Overwatch League to Increase Prize Pool for Season Two - Unikrn News

Blizzard's Overwatch League has announced their new plans to increase the prize pool for Season Two to $5 million, up from $3.5 million in the Inaugural Season. This includes a boost for each individual stage playoffs, which should add a bit more excitement and added stakes t...

#

Home Games will only be: Dallas, Atlanta, Los Angeles for 2019.

#

So. Called it 😛

limber pine Dec 12, 2018, 4:51 PM

#

called it from where?

pearl stratus Dec 12, 2018, 4:55 PM

#

When they first announced the road games thing, and people were trying to include Canada etc.

#

I stuck to straight US only because all the visas etc are already in place. They just need venues for dry runs to make sure production value is fine when outside the Blizzard arena.

#

I equate it to test markets prior to a global product launch.

#

I wasn't expecting a 3.5million increase in prize pool though.

limber pine Dec 12, 2018, 4:58 PM

#

unexpected but nice

pearl stratus Dec 12, 2018, 4:59 PM

I figured there would be a small increase, but not that much

limber pine Dec 12, 2018, 5:03 PM

It's hard to gauge an expected value from a franchised league

with so few esports doing it

pearl stratus Dec 12, 2018, 5:08 PM

Yeah, but it seems like an appropriate number in retrospect with how many teams they did pick up.

why did they ban fortnite?

pearl stratus Dec 12, 2018, 5:31 PM

#

From what I've researched and found they basically focused on all BR's for gore and violence.

#

OW/LoL are close to being banned, but require corrective action.

#

OW has immoral things (probably McCree smoking, etc), and inharmonious chat (toxic) that they don't feel Blizzard controlled well enough, I guess.

Verbo was busy with Valiant stuff when Canada was trialling, ironically

hidden vault Dec 13, 2018, 12:51 AM

Lmao

#

But in the 1st place valiant choose custa instead of verbo

pearl stratus Dec 13, 2018, 12:54 AM

#

Thats not a hard choice.

#

Verbo is good, which isn't a problem at all, but Custa has solid leadership qualities and comms. He's extremely likeable and kind of brings people together from what they've said.

#

After their initial issues that was the perfect person for their roster.

#

I think a lot of teams are still growing into the fact that raw skill alone doesn't do it, look at some of the people that weren't picked up by any teams.

#

They play so many more games with so much more pressure than Contenders, its a different mindset and team environment.

hidden vault Dec 13, 2018, 1:03 AM

#

Indeed but what I meant was verbo should have known that was gonna be released and look to prove himself in world cup

It is indeed ironic

sullen berry Dec 13, 2018, 12:48 PM

#

Why not

#

Unlike shanghai

#

GZ has set out and focused on an international roster from the very beginning

#

That being said, meta bellum is essential for a core of Korean players that can't be replaced with ordinary international players, to maintain viability

#

Carpe is an example of a hard carry during the regular season that was helped by players like fragi and boombox

#

Effect is the opposite, his carry potential was there but needed a lot more reliance on the rest of his team to pull through when xQc/cocco/mickie plus chips/custa/harryhook didn't play into the teams' quirks well in stages 1-2. Last season

pearl stratus Dec 13, 2018, 2:25 PM

#

I'd argue that Carpe's carry potential also helped with the fact that Eqo was pretty stellar, so he had a secondary DPS.

#

Dallas had...

#

Its hard to 1v11

analog lark Dec 13, 2018, 2:26 PM

#

How good will dallas be now

#

With Closer and rCk

#

I'd say low midtier, i think Dallas' success in stage four was mainly thanks to the meta, Seagull provided a great d.va that allowed Mickie to shine on brig

pearl stratus Dec 13, 2018, 2:28 PM

#

I think they'll be solid mid, probably make it to each stages finals.

#

But I put that mostly on Aero, and the growth of some of the players.

#

While I still think OGE is a shit bag for boosting I think he has a good team mentality and can lead very well. If he can get ladder fuckwads to work together he can get Dallas to.

#

I also think they have actual DPS now, not a super limited hitscan pool they put too much resources into.

#

But we'll need to see how Zach works/grows.

analog lark Dec 13, 2018, 2:30 PM

#

True i suppose, I'm thinking 12th-14th. Btw

pearl stratus Dec 13, 2018, 2:30 PM

#

Eh I see them more 8-12, with the potential to grow a bit if they've gotten the coaching they need.

analog lark Dec 13, 2018, 2:31 PM

#

There are so many decent teams, i don't feel right placing them higher

pearl stratus Dec 13, 2018, 2:31 PM

#

I still think Shock is going to be the most "surprising" jump of placement.

analog lark Dec 13, 2018, 2:32 PM

#

I could easily see San Fran Shock being 5th or 15th

pearl stratus Dec 13, 2018, 2:32 PM

#

I think it just depends on how quickly they overcome the language barrier if they try to mix.

#

Poor Moth needs some intensive Korean lessons.

analog lark Dec 13, 2018, 2:32 PM

There's no bischu to help him like Fissure and LAG

Being able to play an OWL level D.va and doing live translations at the same time is rather amazing

pearl stratus Dec 13, 2018, 2:38 PM

#

I just hope the games start at more of a Stage 3/4 intensity and we don't relapse back to Stage 1 for a bit.

#

Stage 3/4 was nice because on any given day you could have some random ass upsets.

analog lark Dec 13, 2018, 2:39 PM

#

Yeah

pearl stratus Dec 13, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

Also it was funny listening to Jake explain about poor Shanghai on the podcast.

#

And every team prepping for them ridiculously hard in Stage 3/4.

#

"We're playing Shock and Shanghai this week." Full week prep for Shanghai.

analog lark Dec 13, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

That's sad, why beat a dead horse

pearl stratus Dec 13, 2018, 2:43 PM

#

Because by then you could lose to Shanghai if you didn't prep.

#

And it was more scary to lose to Shanghai, and be their first win, than to lose to Shock who you might lose to anyway.

#

No one team wanted to be their first win.

#

So they prepped for them. Hard.

But he's not doing badly.

I trust you, we'll see if he ever leave Contenders.

pearl stratus Dec 13, 2018, 9:56 PM

If he can get some more flex I could see him potentially doing it. But right now his hero pool is a specialist pool, which doesn't help him.

green stump Dec 13, 2018, 10:05 PM

#

@pearl stratus the thing is that he's trying to be legit. He wants to prove himself and to his haters he has what it takes and people are growing too cheer him on. It's a story of growing up to achieve a victory.

The day he walks down stage in owl will be a very special moment that will be cheered in by thousands of fans he earned and inspired

is smurf > super, viol2t > sleepy, and striker > Danteh

pearl stratus Dec 14, 2018, 6:30 PM

#

Viol2t and Smurf should both be relatively noticeable upgrades.

#

Striker is wildcard imo, since his attitude issues could be bad. However with Rascal + Architect you have double korean dps potential.

#

If Viol2t plays like he was in Contenders at least, we'll see how he adapts to OWL.

hidden vault Dec 14, 2018, 6:53 PM

#

So shock is going full korean?

limber pine Dec 14, 2018, 6:56 PM

#

it looks like they're going in that direction

pearl stratus Dec 14, 2018, 6:57 PM

#

All that would be left is to drop babybay and pick up a main healer, honestly.

#

But from their scrims they were mixing.

#

So no ones actually sure.

#

Viol2t was going to be picked up by someone either way, so I don't think it was 100% replacing Sleepy.

#

More like "This kid is Jjonak'ing all over Korean Contenders, we should get it."

limber pine Dec 14, 2018, 6:58 PM

#

yeah it'd be disappointing to see super and sleepy benched

pearl stratus Dec 14, 2018, 6:59 PM

#

Super I found amazingly underwhelming.

#

Yes, he looked better than Nomy.

#

But Bob is a better tank than Nomy.

limber pine Dec 14, 2018, 6:59 PM

#

lul

pearl stratus Dec 14, 2018, 6:59 PM

#

But he also could be getting downplayed because he launched at the same time as Space.

#

And Space is insane.

#

So Super just looks bad by comparison

#

Not the same roles, but nearly the same hype.

#

One lived up to it, one didn't.

#

Smurf is really smart though, his play is great. Same with Choi.

#

But I wouldn't want to see Choi flat out replace Nevix.

#

Because I think Nevix has been a key player for them.

#

I'll miss iRemix, but I dont see him getting back into pro play with his showing on Skyfoxes - to tangent to another team.

limber pine Dec 14, 2018, 7:03 PM

#

tbf skyfoxes has made a lot of pros look bad

pearl stratus Dec 14, 2018, 7:04 PM

#

Agreed, but to go from a bench tank on LAG to a tank on Skyfoxes with 0 wins, to getting cut for a korean swap prior to the fact they'll need to completely remake the team

#

It doesn't look good.

#

Like they chose to completely drop him, knowing they'll need another tank soon with the region locks.

#

But at the end of the day I don't care who's from where, or what happens, as long as its good games to watch.

analog lark Dec 14, 2018, 7:55 PM

#

I hope verbo gets picked up

#

Verbo isn't the best player out there

#

But i have a soft heart for him

pearl stratus Dec 14, 2018, 8:58 PM

#

If anyone wants a hilarious stream to watch right now.

#

Seagull is three stacking with Dafran and Emongg.

#

And they keep playing into a three stack with an Orissa, Bastion (Kolorblind), and Sym (Stevoo)

#

And they're insanely fun games to watch.

swift sand Dec 14, 2018, 8:59 PM

#

At one point EvilToaster was with Stevoo and Kolorblind

#

That was amazing

#

Cause he’s a top Orisa

He might still be, I never caught the Orissas name

I’m excited to see RunAway play in OWL

pearl stratus Dec 14, 2018, 9:00 PM

Its nice seeing actual OW games on Ranked, though. Stacking really is the solution.

swift sand Dec 14, 2018, 9:00 PM

limber pine Dec 16, 2018, 11:48 PM

@ancient bison yes there will be a preseason

No preseason news though, give or take 2 weeks to announce, play and prepare before regular season over one weekend

They announced the pre season like two weeks ago, its short. Like 4-6 days or something

@sullen berry I still think Boston is hiding a signing, because Colourhex said he wasn't the carry DPS. And you know its not blase.

#

Also ITT of why people take T2 less and less seriously: https://twitter.com/SecondWindGG/status/1074984205753479168

Second Wind (@SecondWindGG)

We will be releasing @Colugeisback from the roster. Good luck in your future endeavors.

#

Tl;dr: Coluge is a person who didn't get enough oxygen in the womb. Flat out posted about going back to boosting. Got instantly removed from his team, and asked why he didn't have reddit threads yet.

#

Though he didn't kill his career, since he was never good enough to have one above T2.

I don't think the VancouverTitans are going to do as good ap people think they would be I think they will be a high mid tier team but will not go far during the playoffs

limber pine Dec 18, 2018, 6:27 PM

#

Agreed.

#

I would put them solidly in 7-12, but Idk if I can put them in 1-6

pearl stratus Dec 18, 2018, 6:42 PM

#

I don't think anyones really said they'd be top, just that they wouldn't be on the bottom.

#

They're one of the only expansion teams that looks decent on paper and in theory though.

limber pine Dec 18, 2018, 8:49 PM

#

plus given the success of NYXL and London importing "full teams", it's hard not to give them a long leash

#

@pearl stratus both people from the preseason show had Vancouver very high

#

Boston is a fence for me.

#

I think its liable to change when they announce their last DPS.

#

Because I still firmly believe they're announcing more dps.

#

My fence picks would be: GuangzhouCharge BostonUprising HoustonOutlaws

#

If the meta doesn't shift substantially this is actually a really good set of comps for Houston.

#

Also did you see Jayne's interview with Kephrii? Kephrii stating, with no explanation, that Linkzr is the scariest widow in the league to me was interesting, and I wish he'd have elaborated.

limber pine Dec 18, 2018, 9:00 PM

#

i did not see it

#

I know Linkzr is a very good widow v widow player

pearl stratus Dec 18, 2018, 9:01 PM

#

He refused to explain why, but he said all things that he'd say Linkzr is the best in the league. And I want to know why, but he refuses to comment on that stuff.

limber pine Dec 18, 2018, 9:02 PM

#

hm

pearl stratus Dec 18, 2018, 9:02 PM

#

For me I think its because Linkzr's pop off is ridiculous, and his consistency is at the higher end of some peoples pop. But I don't know.

limber pine Dec 18, 2018, 9:17 PM

#

GuangzhouCharge BostonUprising and HoustonOutlaws are all fine fence choices.

#

I feel like they could be anywhere between 10 and 20

#

SFShock probably the best.

#

anywhere between terrific and terrible

pearl stratus Dec 18, 2018, 9:21 PM

#

It's basically all about which team overcomes their language barriers / cohesion with those teams.

#

I think alemao speaks fluent English, which gives Boston an esge

queen drift Dec 18, 2018, 9:23 PM

#

Boston are gonna do a lot worse imo

limber pine Dec 18, 2018, 9:26 PM

#

i honestly don't see how. The worst part of their team was their dps and I don't think they've gotten any worse

#

If Gamsu leaves, then that's a different conversation

#

Aimgod = Neko

#

I think they'll do worse overall, but I don't see a drop into the bottom 5-6 like a lot of people

queen drift Dec 18, 2018, 9:35 PM

#

striker and gamsu were the best part of boston

#

i doubt gamsu stays

pearl stratus Dec 18, 2018, 9:53 PM

#

I think he stays because he has no where else useful to be.

#

Where's he going to go... Florida?

#

That's like signing your professional death bell.

#

I guess he could go back to Korea and play Contenders.

but it includes Washington without a doubt

pearl stratus Dec 19, 2018, 4:10 PM

#

I think the "gaurantees" for bottom 5 for every list include Washington and Florida for 95% of people.

limber pine Dec 19, 2018, 4:16 PM

I'm treating Florida like an expansion team this year

as I'd think most would

#

I expect most of the expansion teams at or near the bottom

limber pine Dec 19, 2018, 4:34 PM

Shanghai is one of those teams I feel could be anywhere between 5th and 15th.

#

I do like that they've brought in KDP's core roster

pearl stratus Dec 19, 2018, 4:36 PM

#

#

And the assistant coach was the EM coach.

#

Who worked with Fearless prior.

#

Geguri and Diya are the only "new" people to the coaches, which is useful.

pearl stratus Dec 19, 2018, 4:43 PM

limber pine Dec 19, 2018, 5:40 PM

#

Shanghai is literally the Second best korean Team

#

From contenders

#

While Boston only Sold good Players

#

And got way worse

#

Also i dont see Boston competing with any top 10 Team

pearl stratus Dec 19, 2018, 6:01 PM

#

It's not though.

#

They have 60% of KDP, not 100%.

#

Missing Roar and Decay is noticeable because you're integrating with a new tank.

#

And you're losing your primary hitscan.

#

They still have growth room.

#

It's not comparable to Vancouver which is a 1:1.

#

Also the argument that Boston got way worse isn't logical. It's a jump to conclusions mat.

#

If the new team is more cohesive they could come out better, despite losing Striker.

#

The players that Boston lost where, by literally all accounts, toxic and destructive.

#

That causes issues that don't always translate to the game, but can translate into teamwork.

#

Right now all we can judge Boston by is what they did last season, and how they did it. Which was some weird ass moneyball coaching that worked really well.

limber pine Dec 19, 2018, 6:51 PM

#

I honestly think that because they did moneyball pretty well last year, they get the benefit of the doubt to do it again.

#

It's not like Colourhex and alemao are slouches either

pearl stratus Dec 19, 2018, 6:58 PM

#

Blase isn't either, he seems overall generally consistent. They're just missing a carry.

#

I could honestly see them going for some of the leftovers now, like Sinatraa who may want more playing time.

balmy wolf Dec 20, 2018, 1:27 AM

#

He said he didn’t quit esports on his stream. He said he’s not going to be looking for a team at the moment, but that he is not going to avoid giving a team a chance if they wanted him.

#

So I mean just look at xqc. The guy always whines “I quit!” But ends up rejoining teams on contenders level or OWC level of some kind of level of competition. Same with mendo, he cries about quitting he yet plays ow as much as he cries, which frankly is a lot.

#

@ruby pendant

balmy wolf Dec 20, 2018, 1:31 AM

Yes there is!

If you got kicked from a multiple time world championship team, I think most people would have a moment where they kind of fuck off for a while and treat themselves, then maybe rejoin later and see if your chances at the same old team of yours are still somewhat existent and good and they’ll let you tryout, or if you need to join a new team.

Hopefully, OWL learned their lesson. It was a funny performance though.

How does Ripa get a 5 game suspension for throwing games

#

But other get a 2 day for boosting???

limber pine Dec 21, 2018, 5:38 PM

#

from the link

#

While the league reviews each case on its own, key factors informing the level of discipline include both the severity and recency of the actions under review.

#

it's possible the boosting is from a long time ago and the throwing is recent

#

but nobody knows for sure

I know neko's stuff is from before Season 1

misty pasture Dec 21, 2018, 5:39 PM

#

Ye

#

Neko got discovered during playoffs tho?

#

So wouldn’t the offense be recent ?

limber pine Dec 21, 2018, 5:40 PM

#

idk

#

the boosting is not but the discovery is

#

idk how Blizz would handle that

#

it does look he got dinged worse because of the obstruction though

normal thistle Dec 21, 2018, 7:09 PM

#

neko is pretty bad tbh

#

refund the game if you like him

rustic plaza Dec 21, 2018, 9:03 PM

they are missing a lot of owl players on the boosting front
