Rjh Ana is a GOD

[pearl cedar]

his charge was bad

got no picks with the ulti

[worn falcon]

The heck was happening

[brisk sand]

There were so many ults

[balmy wolf]

Best Ana don’t @ me

[pearl cedar]

feels like Roar/Void just arent on the same page lol

[balmy wolf]

Symmetra lost ;_;

[light quarry]

dude fissure is so insane

[clear crane]

he prob is best ana

[supple prism]

philly is really holding that top spot right now

[minor flame]

he got a charge off but rjh is just

doing work

[balmy wolf]

Papa Jehong has never been in question.

[pearl stratus]

Something feels off without Bischu, imo.

[pearl cedar]

he didnt get a good pin though

[minor flame]

Bischu is like the staple dva player

[pearl stratus]

Void is the better D'va overall, but there's just something about Bischu.

[pearl cedar]

he downed like 4 people i thought

[glad silo]

fissure is planning everyones death

[ruby pendant]

@pearl stratus you take back what you said about fissure?

[balmy wolf]

He made Ana look cool while we were still fawning over mercy.

[coarse ginkgo]

i missed it who won that game

[forest raven]

1-1

[minor flame]

fissure is prob still asshat irl

[glad silo]

[minor flame]

but he has good plays

[pearl stratus]

No. I still think LAG should be taking better advantage of his aggressiveness.

[coarse ginkgo]

ok cool

[balmy wolf]

Rjh first highlight vid on YouTube was when I first played Ana

[pearl stratus]

But I think running RHJ on Ana instead of Zen a lot is letting them compensate for his play style.

Because they can bandaid his overextension with Nano.

[minor flame]

double main support with rjh and aggressive fissure is a

nasty combo

[brisk sand]

The healing out put is way too much

[balmy wolf]

He’s an ana god and a decent zen but zen is more meta

^

[pearl stratus]

If RHJ was on Zenyatta this would fall apart a lot faster.

It's a smart fix.

[balmy wolf]

Bad days for Ana players.

Boop

[glad silo]

RHJ is the new meta

[minor flame]

if anyone reignites me to actually play OW again

its RJH

[brisk sand]

Ana is new goats main healer

[simple badger]

we need to make moves toward a 6 dps meta

[balmy wolf]

They’re 2 games behind schedule

[minor flame]

ana is not new goats main healer

[balmy wolf]

Not as bad as I thought

[glad silo]

brah im 27!

[simple badger]

rjh ia 27?

[karmic grotto]

its 5:18 AM HERE

in EU

[glad silo]

we are twins

[simple badger]

does that make him the oldest owl player?

[glad silo]

i think so

[minor flame]

ILLIOS

CONTROL

KINGS ROW

lmao

[upper niche]

IK take it they commentators are under specific instructions not to call it 'Goats', given that they keep saying 3-3.

[pearl stratus]

I think if LAG can find a better way to put pressure on RHJ so that he can't fix Fissures overextensions with shots/Ana they'll find solid success.

[forest raven]

3-3 is more professional and any casuals watching aren't gonna know what goats is

[forest wharf]

insights by intel without reinforce Feelsbadman

[minor flame]

i think its better to say 3-3 given how theres alot of variations too

[pearl stratus]

I think 3-3 is the smarter call too because theres SO many goats variants now.

[minor flame]

hex weather man

[pearl stratus]

Like technically Winston Goats isn't Goats, its a different comp.

So 3-3 is just easier across the board.

[upper niche]

Yeah, but unintiated might think it means say... 3 dps 3 support.

[worn falcon]

@upper niche https://twitter.com/MLGPuckett/status/1096253767266099201

Chris Puckett (@MLGPuckett)

@Freakinbuttons @Soembie @MonteCristo Community clung to a term that didn’t make sense to new viewers. I’m actively avoiding the term in hopes that our new audience will have an easier time understanding some of the more complex nuances of our game.

Twitter

[inland pawn]

scuffed insight LUL

[worn falcon]

thats the reason

[minor flame]

up here we have a forecast of winston jump

and down here we have ashe and ana booped

[forest raven]

I mean if they're watching the fuckin game and they see no dps they're not gonna make that assumption

[upper niche]

How the fuck does "Go All Tanks and Support" not make sense to new viewers? That's perfectly self-explanatory.

[pearl stratus]

Zarya does more DPS in the comp than a DPS does in their games anyway.

Zarya is meta dps.

[warm quartz]

The comp is called goats, we call that shit goats ok

[pearl stratus]

Goats does not include Winston.

Make a new name.

[forest wharf]

@upper niche thats not what goats is named after tho...

[rapid locust]

DOATS

[minor flame]

GATS?

[pearl stratus]

Goats does not include Ana, make a new name.

[frigid siren]

We don't call dive fast hero comp

[median coyote]

when everything became goats, the name lost all use

[warm quartz]

OWL

[upper niche]

Eh? yes is it. That was literally the name of the team that ran it as a pisstake. GO All Tanks and Supports.

[forest wharf]

no.

[minor flame]

music good

music yes

[forest wharf]

its Greatest Of All Time

[upper niche]

It had nothing to do with a specific composition.

[forest raven]

Akashra that's flat out wrong

It's called goats because the comp was popularised by a team called GOAT's, ala Greatest Of All Time

[median coyote]

^

[rapid locust]

^

[forest raven]

Go All Tanks and Support is a backronym

[frigid siren]

IT was called goats cuz team

[minor flame]

ppl seem to forget goats is a contenders team

[balmy wolf]

I love backronyms

[upper niche]

yes.

That's literally how they came up with coining it by that term.

The fact that it fit their team name was perfect.

[forest wharf]

it literally isnt dude

[upper niche]

Sigh. Okay, whatever. It was, but I'm done arguing 😃

[forest wharf]

k

[rapid locust]

this is literally the team GOATS logo.: https://liquipedia.net/commons/images/5/5e/GOATS_logo_new_2018.png

[balmy wolf]

Lol trying to get the last word then “quitting”

♿

[pearl stratus]

It was always Ironic.

[warm quartz]

yeah that looks like the owl community

[pearl stratus]

Because none of them made it to OWL.

[balmy wolf]

Nice tactic

[pearl stratus]

Except for a two way.

[forest wharf]

like the team didnt even name the comp either

[pearl stratus]

So turns out they were not the greatest of all time.

[frigid siren]

Gator did

[pearl stratus]

Except for a two way would be Gator.

[rapid locust]

jeff kaplan is the goat

[forest wharf]

viewers/casters and shit coined the term

[pearl stratus]

Gators flat out never playing in OWL though

[balmy wolf]

[pearl stratus]

Unless Pokpo loses a hand in an unfortunate accident.

[balmy wolf]

Is spark home or away tonight?

I want to see those home skins

Home spark rein is a meme

K

[frozen perch]

im surprised s4 isn't using sombra atm

[light quarry]

Roar is underperforming imo

[balmy wolf]

^

[light quarry]

I never expected him to be Fissure

[balmy wolf]

That’s what I was just thinking.

[light quarry]

but he's really getting outplayed

[forest raven]

@modern cypress No

[warm quartz]

o i no

[glad silo]

how did the dva bomb not touch void

[inland pawn]

im gonna say it

[minor flame]

s4 c9

[inland pawn]

[warm quartz]

DRAW LOL

[ruby pendant]

hype!

[gilded peak]

Well it seems like SD has better GOATS

[forest wharf]

roars kinda getting shit on by fissure

[balmy wolf]

Draw quick on the... draw... with that deletion

[light quarry]

Im no where near pro level of playing, but I play Rein and Im noticing a lot of times where he's either aggressive when he shouldnt be or out of position when he should be aggressive

[minor flame]

fissure is fusions of the day and roars is the mano of the day

[tired anvil]

questionable decisions

[warm quartz]

Bingo bongo deleto

[minor flame]

yeah well most coaches arent pro levels

they just have a insightful view of the game

[supple prism]

wasnt really a c9 either

[light quarry]

yeah

[grim field]

pog dynasty

[rapid locust]

na caster

[grim field]

i just started watching, who played before

[supple prism]

perhaps some people need to go back and review the original c9

[grim field]

^

[tired anvil]

London and Philly. Then NYXL and Boston.

[light quarry]

as a Gladiators fan, this is pretty disappointing

[balmy wolf]

^

[grim field]

k so it wasnt just me?

that wasnt rly a c9

[supple prism]

no

[grim field]

nice

[light quarry]

but hopefully my Shanghai boys and frog will pop off

[supple prism]

c9 involves having a numbers advantage

[tired anvil]

Win the fight, leave the objective

[grim field]

NYXL won im guessing

[light quarry]

yeah

[warm quartz]

LOL LOOK AT THE SEOUL MEMES

[supple prism]

yes

[rapid locust]

yee carrot

[frozen perch]

SYMMETRa

[light quarry]

It was no where near as much of a stomp as it should've been though

[supple prism]

as another diabetic, i dont use an insulin pump

[light quarry]

Boston was playing really underwhelming but it was still fairly close at times

[frozen perch]

Will this be Sym's first win?

[minor flame]

Boston was playing great

with Fusions

[rapid locust]

maybe

[frozen perch]

damn

[minor flame]

fusions is key

[worn falcon]

reaper

wat

[minor flame]

wo

reaper

[light quarry]

boston was doing really good

it was just NYXL being a powerhouse

but NYXL still made some mistakes they shouldnt have

[tired anvil]

NYXL isn't so great at goats

[minor flame]

NYXL wasnt that powerhousing

they were at a pretty lower level with their goats line up

[light quarry]

I was sad that NYXL didnt run Saeb

[coarse ginkgo]

so much wasted time

go do something

[tired anvil]

they did play a lot of dps so it was fun to watch

[minor flame]

they had redeeming support and nenne

[forest wharf]

R OMEGALUL A P E R

[minor flame]

but their tank line is very

[light quarry]

or Pine iirc

[minor flame]

[grim field]

reaper in OWL and it works

[glad silo]

[grim field]

[minor flame]

questionable part was that reaper didnt play much into that

[warm quartz]

i just pulled up OWL on the tv for the first time via disney...i will say its kind of cool to see it on actual television

[minor flame]

actual television OWL quality

is bad

[grim field]

i could watch it on tv through xbox

[warm quartz]

@minor flame still its really cool

[minor flame]

[balmy wolf]

reaper has a very short range

[clear crane]

[supple prism]

xqc isnt in owl

[balmy wolf]

He’s contenders

[minor flame]

xqc is a streamer for glads legion

[simple badger]

s4 should have graved them on the bridge

[minor flame]

but

no one would get them

that wouldve been a total waste

[simple badger]

probably...

lol

[supple prism]

or at least use it when they jumped down

[median coyote]

they did it last time and Void got 2 with a bomb

[minor flame]

position is very wonky

for a bomb

[median coyote]

not something to rely on but yeah. it happened

[pearl stratus]

Thats a double ult prayer.

Not a great plan.

[clear crane]

surefours zarya seems subpar on an OWL level

[median coyote]

hey fissure a good shatter would be nice

[minor flame]

damn fissure

RJH is carry

[clear crane]

wow still 4 ults

holy shit

[minor flame]

good investment

by seoul

glads pulled the trigger

[gilded peak]

Yep, but all LAG needs is a grav and bomb

they have been good on that

[minor flame]

jecse

[simple badger]

[pearl stratus]

They've still got beat

[median coyote]

RJH

[minor flame]

NAH

[gilded peak]

WOW GG on Fissure

He stopped the bomb

[pearl stratus]

That was 9 ults

[ruby pendant]

wow

[pearl stratus]

9 ults in that fight.

[simple badger]

s4 got shattered while he was on high ground...

[pearl cedar]

that was a horrible combination of ults

lmao

[simple badger]

how?

[pearl stratus]

Fissure got knocked up, his shatter landed on the cart.

[supple prism]

which high ground?

[pearl stratus]

So it went hjorizontal from the height of the cart.

[minor flame]

YOOO

Nice job! gg

[grizzled trout]

[simple badger]

wrong chat

[median coyote]

if you cant block shatters, might as well be able to counter shatter

[warm quartz]

LOOK AT THE GIRL. "This was my valentines day date and my team LOST."

[forest wharf]

roar got kinda fucked

[worn falcon]

Fissure was desesperate for those shatters

[low ridge]

Gg Seoul

[grizzled trout]

maybe just maybe seoul wont disappoint me this season

[minor flame]

fissure ult timing was very off

but RJH

was fucking clutch

all fights

[pearl stratus]

RJH being able to play Ana enabled Fissure to be Fissure.

On like 2 of the maps.

[grizzled trout]

ye

[forest wharf]

this shanghai ga,e should be...interesting

[minor flame]

dan ny lim

[pearl stratus]

Shanghai is going to be tough.

[gilded peak]

SHD vs who again?

[pearl stratus]

Shock.

[median coyote]

idk, RJH kept him up like crazy on that first point in OT

[forest wharf]

spark

[pearl stratus]

Spark. Shock.

[simple badger]

shd 0-41?

[median coyote]

on zen

[pearl stratus]

Hangzhou.

[gilded peak]

Ah kk

[forest raven]

Jehong was robbed

[pearl stratus]

Good chance.

[minor flame]

Bang

[worn falcon]

also that last Trans in 3rd point was insane

[supple prism]

not shock

[pearl stratus]

Hangzhou is a solid team.

[worn falcon]

Not jehong

[minor flame]

Fissure was the main spotlight but RJH was all the foundation

[pearl stratus]

So Shanghai could easily win or lose.

[worn falcon]

mfw OWL production

[grizzled trout]

yu narukami?

[worn falcon]

reeee

[gilded peak]

Which team will be the first to do a 4-0?

[grizzled trout]

intresting

[pearl stratus]

Shanghai has a tough week, so there's a good chance they'll lose both games.

[clear crane]

WHY U LIE FISSURE

[minor flame]

Spark has a very promising lineup

plus weeb power

[pearl stratus]

They have two of their hardest matches.

[minor flame]

Shanghai looks to be

improved

[pearl stratus]

They do.

[minor flame]

they got Gamsu too

[pearl stratus]

Gamsu won't be playing this week most likely.

[forest wharf]

fearless leaving and getting gamsu like 2 days before owl is not gonna help tho

[ruby pendant]

Spark 4-0

[simple badger]

will shd go 0-68?

[pearl stratus]

Youngjin will most likely still be tanking tonight.

[forest wharf]

he kinda has to play or they dont have a main tank

[pearl stratus]

Which is fine.

Youngjin, or Guardian.

Both played Main Tanks in contenders.

[simple badger]

shd for 0-68

[minor flame]

Shanghai can be go very solid but

theyll need to be betterr than solid

[light quarry]

can shanghai please win their first game tonight

[minor flame]

against Spark

[pearl stratus]

It's going to be 50-50 this whole week.

[minor flame]

we havent seen spark at all but

[pearl stratus]

Hangzhou is a great lineup, and Runaway is obviously a good line up.

[forest wharf]

hey shanghai won the community games!

[minor flame]

theyre a high expected team

[gilded peak]

So if Shanghai loses, will it carry on the losing streak?

[minor flame]

everyone expects them to be top 5

[forest wharf]

2-40

[low ridge]

Predictions for next match?

[pearl stratus]

Also Youngjin may have been scrimming as tank for a while.

[minor flame]

if Shanghai wins, they get all the glory

[pearl stratus]

Since rumors are Fearless wasn't performing well.

[minor flame]

but Spark becomes

[pearl stratus]

So they've been looking to replace him.

[minor flame]

already lowly rep

because theyve been hyped

for a long time

[pearl stratus]

Nah.

[forest wharf]

whoever loses to shanghai first becomes the meme team

[pearl stratus]

If anyone is basing their teams from Stage 1 they're kind of dumb as fuck, no offense.

With 28 games the teams that get played majorly influence your rankings from stage to stage.

Some teams just get worse line ups in Stage 1 in terms of who they play.

Others get easier.

One stage doesn't actually say anything anymore.

[simple badger]

SHD will go 0-68

[minor flame]

its true

[reef imp]

never

[minor flame]

SHD is like an entirely diff team now

except with Diya

and geguir

geguri

[pearl stratus]

Diya was never the issue though.

[minor flame]

yeah

i m not saying that

though Diya is very inconsistent

[forest wharf]

i mean i get what you mean, but either way whoever it is that(if lul) they beat first will be made into a meme

[minor flame]

with his mechanical skill

[brisk sand]

Who’s winning the match

[minor flame]

Seoul won

3-1

[pearl stratus]

I wouldn't make them into a meme.

But I'm also not dumb as fuck.

So.

[simple badger]

yea its tru they have mostly koreans now so they might win

[pearl stratus]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[brisk sand]

For Seoul

[minor flame]

Seoul 3-1 LA

[brisk sand]

feelsbadman

[forest wharf]

you might not, but guarantee theyll be memed on for the rest of the season

[pearl stratus]

Yeah but thats by like.. Twitch chat.

[minor flame]

both teams are basically entirely new

the only thing diff is their branding

so its true it could go either way

[pearl stratus]

Twitch chat makes Donald Trumps twitter look like a mensa scholar.

So its not like it matters.

[rapid locust]

aren't the SHD missing a main tank tonight?

[minor flame]

but spark seems to be the highly expected one whether the less

[frozen perch]

who won

[minor flame]

Seoul

3-1

[pearl stratus]

Spark is missing Krystal tonight though.

[frozen perch]

=|

[inland pawn]

Cant wait for GODXUE

[pearl stratus]

Guxue most likely won't be playing.

[vagrant niche]

GODXUE

[pearl stratus]

So get excited for Nosmite 😛

[minor flame]

whether the less

im going Bang

[forest wharf]

spark also have a weird multi-language roster like season 1 shd so who knows how fucky they will be

[minor flame]

ayaya weeb team

[pearl stratus]

They only have two Chinese.

And neither will be playing tonight most likely.

Krystal is suspended.

[minor flame]

Krystal was toxic one game?

[pearl stratus]

And Guxue would be the language break.

[minor flame]

and threw or something?

[light quarry]

dude

[minor flame]

or is it something else

[rapid locust]

so both teams are missing their main tank?

[pearl stratus]

I think it was boosting.

Two games.

[light quarry]

ive gotten the same ad 5 times back to back

[rapid locust]

for tonight

[light quarry]

nevermind

6

[minor flame]

so Krystal not for the entire week

[pearl stratus]

Spark has Nosmite.

Who is a main tank.

[forest wharf]

wait might be thinking of guangzhou that has the weird roster

[pearl stratus]

he'll be starting for the next few weeks.

[minor flame]

How good is Nosmite compared to Youngjin and Guardian

[pearl stratus]

Nosmite should be better, realistically.

[forest wharf]

yea charge is what i was thinking of

[minor flame]

but in a team setting hes in a disadv?

[rapid locust]

I guess we'll find out

[pearl stratus]

No, he's playing with his X6 group.

[minor flame]

ah

[pearl stratus]

And he's more primarily a main tank.

Youngjin is playing with KDP though.

[minor flame]

Nosmite keeps reminding me of the Nosepass pokemon

[pearl stratus]

But he hasn't been a MT for a while, KDP had Roar.

Shanghai should have the edge on their DPS though.

[forest wharf]

the real question is, WILL THEY LET DIYA FUCK

[pearl stratus]

No.

[forest wharf]

probably not

[minor flame]

So its pretty 50/50

[pearl stratus]

He doesn't speak Korean.

[minor flame]

lolll

[pearl stratus]

He's in the same positive Guxue is in.

[minor flame]

Diya leadership skills are already out

[pearl stratus]

Until the language barrier is less, they won't play.

[minor flame]

lets just hope he has actual mechanical skill improvement

[forest wharf]

probably learned some korean during off season

[clear crane]

Monte with that pornstache

[pearl stratus]

Now Spark could go with Guxue.

I just don't see it.

[minor flame]

disney xd.....

[pearl stratus]

He definitely did. But its not just calls in game.

People tend to think its just about calls, but its not.

It's vod reviews, etc.

[light quarry]

Geguri's the best frog in the league

[minor flame]

geguri only frog in league

[pearl stratus]

You can be massively underprepared if you're not the main language of the team

[rapid locust]

we thought fusions wasn't gonna play and we were wrong about that

[candid cedar]

oof how did the match against seoul and la go

[pearl stratus]

Because you have to translate the scrims and vods, etc.

[minor flame]

hey Endo

[forest wharf]

i mean hes been living with an all korean team house this whole time, he pretty much has to learn

[clear crane]

seoul looked like idiots first map

[minor flame]

whats worst team of the season

[clear crane]

den they dominated

[minor flame]

powerranking

[pearl stratus]

For me?

[minor flame]

sure

youre pretty knowledgable

[light quarry]

I love geguri tbh

[pearl stratus]

I think its going to be Washington, on paper.

[minor flame]

for some god forsaken reason

[rapid locust]

I think washington

[minor flame]

yeah thats what alot of ppl think

[pearl stratus]

Chengdu I think will steal some wins.

Because they'll do crazy chinese shit.

And catch teams unprepared.

[minor flame]

crazy chinese shit

[forest wharf]

mayhem going to be bottom 2 again

[minor flame]

i forgot Mayhem existed

again

[pearl stratus]

China comes up with some crazy ass comps.

And RUI really likes that.

So I think Chengdu will be hard to prep for.

[minor flame]

so Chengdu has the element of

unorthodox surprise?

[pearl stratus]

Yeah, also Ameng.

Ameng is an absolutely INSANE hamster.

[minor flame]

Amen

[pearl stratus]

So I think they'll be the first to integrate that.

[minor flame]

Yveltal bad pkmn

but good player

[pearl stratus]

His game sense is bananas.

Chengdu's biggest worry for me is their DPS.

[minor flame]

they hyping up guxue on preview

[pearl stratus]

Maybe he'll play.

[minor flame]

design is meh

[rapid locust]

dps doesn't matter tho

[pearl stratus]

The problem with Youngjin being on Main Tank

[forest wharf]

have heard paris is also underperforming in scrims

[clear crane]

Gamsu!!!!

[pearl stratus]

Is that he's literally the best Brig in the world pretty much.

[minor flame]

g a m s u

[pearl stratus]

Oh shit.

[minor flame]

looks like predictions are wrong

[rapid locust]

yee

[pearl stratus]

Hell yeah.

This is going to be weird.

[serene tendon]

:gegudab:

[pearl stratus]

Oh wait no.

[minor flame]

duh ding

[pearl stratus]

He's not on stage lol

[minor flame]

aww

i thought gamsu was actually there lmao

like announced and shit

[pearl stratus]

He's in the arena and did the walk out

[worn falcon]

No diya

[rapid locust]

but he isn't playing

[pearl stratus]

But not playing.

[minor flame]

so hyped

ik

[inland pawn]

PogU

[worn falcon]

no freefeel

[pearl stratus]

Judging by on screen roster.

[clear crane]

those colors

[minor flame]

b a n g

[clear crane]

damn

[pearl stratus]

Freefeel tore shit up in Contenders, so its interesting.

He's not as bad as he looked.

[minor flame]

chinese expansion

lol

[golden forge]

let's see if they win this year 😦

[minor flame]

freefeel is good individually but together with the old shd

was not a good team player

[clear crane]

Guxue not starting!???

[pearl stratus]

Yeah Nosmite.

We just talked about that Legacy, lol

[vagrant niche]

where Godxue?

[pearl stratus]

He doesn't speak Korean well enough.

[minor flame]

idkidkdkidkdkdidkkddiik

[vagrant niche]

[clear crane]

oof

[pearl stratus]

So you'd be slotting a language barrier.

[minor flame]

how good is Ria?

[forest wharf]

yea guxue is probably gonna bench ride because of that

[pearl stratus]

Midpack.

Ria isn't going to be a star.

[rapid locust]

less horizon, more anubis

[pearl stratus]

But he won't be a weakness.

He just does his job.

[minor flame]

which one wills tand out most

[clear crane]

prob idk

[pearl stratus]

GodsB, imo.

[whole mulch]

Is the LAG vs SD game over?

[pearl stratus]

He's going to be the make or breeak.

[minor flame]

godsb will prob pop off

[rapid locust]

yeah

[minor flame]

a few times

[pearl stratus]

Bazzi is, to me, a little weak.

[minor flame]

yes

SD won

3-1

[whole mulch]

Damn

[minor flame]

2 asian teams

busan

[clear crane]

SD looked like headless chickens first map lol

[limber pine]

youngjin tanking today

[minor flame]

busan has some nice comps

[clear crane]

wtf is this comp

[forest wharf]

wait not running second tank???

[minor flame]

no goats

[clear crane]

at least no goats

[pearl stratus]

Oh interesting comp.

[minor flame]

good start

godsb

[frozen perch]

ofc

[minor flame]

nosmite first blood

feelsbad

uhh

dive??

coordination??

[pearl stratus]

Diem too good.

[clear crane]

1-40

[pearl stratus]

Carpes brother making him proud.

[gilded peak]

Damn, Carpe wasn't joking about Diem

[pearl stratus]

Nah its the first map

[limber pine]

this pink and white UI is fantastic

[minor flame]

SHD looking strong

[forest wharf]

diem is pretty insane

[minor flame]

this is unorthodox map so we

see how they do on meta

[forest wharf]

would be nice if the audio for diems pov cam wasnt fucked

[pearl stratus]

This comp is nice too because you get Youngjin on Brig.

[worn falcon]

thats a odd comp

[pearl stratus]

And Youngjin is probably the best Brig in the world.

[minor flame]

holy shit man

SHD coordination is strong

[worn falcon]

Geguri

[warm quartz]

DIEM YOU GOOD?

[candid cedar]

Pog

[serene tendon]

POG POG POG

[ruby pendant]

lol

[simple badger]

shd popping off

[balmy wolf]

The panic GOATS got shit on so hard

[reef imp]

Geguri is killing it.

[inland pawn]

PogU

[minor flame]

Diem is gonna be the make team

[balmy wolf]

Imagine getting clapped by Shanghai LOL

[worn falcon]

Tracer

[clear crane]

this shanghai team is pretty good

its the main core of kongdoo panthera

[balmy wolf]

I think they’re good against this team

[forest wharf]

kongdoo dragons

[minor flame]

woah

Moira viable

[ruby pendant]

bebe carrying

[minor flame]

he pronounces luffy like loofy

oh boy

[pearl stratus]

Diem was such a good pick up.

[inland pawn]

4Gitte

[minor flame]

i wonder when yangxiaolong comes on

theyll say his full name

each time

[reef imp]

Youngjin is a beastly Brig.

[pearl stratus]

They'll call him YXL I bet.

[forest wharf]

wonder if theyre going to try to do this 1 tank thing in the next map

[worn falcon]

If your team is failing just hire koreans 4head

[balmy wolf]

If spark doesn’t do good this season, at least they have a good color scheme 😂😂

Lol

[pearl stratus]

Youngjin is the best brig in the world, I wasn't joking about that. Like thats what Korea calls him.

[minor flame]

GodsB and Diem have been

fucking insane

[clear crane]

sparks was a high ranked team by the actual teams

[pearl stratus]

Also agree with the casters.

Geguri is a really solid ball.

[balmy wolf]

Yeah she’s killing it

[forest wharf]

@worn falcon dont think that worked for them season 1...but then again they did just hire more koreans to fix it

[clear crane]

they hired good koreans lol

prob the best non owl korean team

[minor flame]

spark look like a very solid team considering they have to go against a sombra and widow combo

[pearl stratus]

Second best.

Runaway was better.

[balmy wolf]

They’ll still be clapped by Fuel

[clear crane]

o i forgot about runaway

[serene tendon]

[pearl stratus]

Too bad they couldn't keep Roar.

Decay overpriced probably, Diem definitely worth it

[verbal roost]

How did shd do?

[minor flame]

bebe

[pearl stratus]

Game just started

[minor flame]

is doing some

clean up

[verbal roost]

Ok

[minor flame]

almost c9

[forest wharf]

theres only been 1 map point so far

[minor flame]

damn

[pearl stratus]

And then Diem counts the clean up

lol

[solar trout]

diem doing so good

[minor flame]

DING

ding ding

EMP

[simple badger]

NOT GOATS POGGERS

[forest wharf]

fuck diems pov audio is still fucked

[clear crane]

😮

[minor flame]

solid match

[balmy wolf]

That poor somber at the end lmaooo

[pearl stratus]

This match is going to be good.

[ruby pendant]

nice

[balmy wolf]

Sombra*

[clear crane]

does atl play tmr

[sly shell]

The current game is really exciting

[supple prism]

i like somber more

[frozen perch]

inb4 shanghai loses

[minor flame]

Seoul vs LAG has been

[balmy wolf]

Lol

[pearl stratus]

They might.

[minor flame]

great but

[shrewd jacinth]

3-2-1 comp new mEtA

[minor flame]

this might be rreally good

[solar trout]

if only the match of the game didn't start at 11:30

[pearl stratus]

They don't have a main tank and Spark is really good.

[sly shell]

i wish there were more females in the top tho

[pearl stratus]

Losing against a good team isn't a bad thing

[warm quartz]

clap clap SHD

[pearl stratus]

It's not like NYXL almost choking against Boston

lmao

[minor flame]

then again

Fusions

[sly shell]

Geguri is legit goals

[pearl stratus]

What's stronger: NYXL or two Main Tanks.

NYXL. Barely.

[balmy wolf]

BARELY

[minor flame]

custom tailored

to kill tracers

[solar trout]

dang diem has balls

[pearl stratus]

Bazzi is definitely the weak link.

[minor flame]

pepega

[pearl stratus]

Lack of Krystal is really noticeable.

[sly shell]

daaamn

dat bomb

[minor flame]

this might be a little dumb as fuck to say

[balmy wolf]

I don’t know why spark is still running this comp
