wait till after a month or 2
Dallas looks like shit right now, lol
wen ppl are not rusty, and teamwork improves
well dallas has always been shit
so watever to them
Dallas had months to practice
But like right now from Night 1:
dallas had like 1-2 really good games in season 1
Everyone looked solid though London and NYXL were not secure with 3:3.
wat has dallas done this offseason ebsides sign like 3 more hitscan players
not much
I honestly wasn't even mad at Youngjin for his tank play for Shanghai.
Hitscan is perfect for goats
Hadn't played Main tank for two years, just started scrimming it like two weeks ago.
Got some solid shatters.
nerfing doomfist reall killed the main counter for goats
Good enough for a week.
I'm gonna have to dip before game 4 tonight, but I'm really looking forward to seeing the results
@solar trout shock wins nuff said
He means the Chengdu Guangzhou game.
I meant the hunters vs charge
It's most likely going to be a Guangzhou win.
looks like most of the expansion teams are gonna be good
It's a-me, Montecristo
wait we have one last match
But I'm hoping Chengdu pulls out some shit so its entertaining.
its crazy how thursday and fridays are gonna have me awake till 2 am lol
if i wann watch every game
4Head analysis
@balmy wolf Most of the expansion teams seemed to have REALLY learned from S1 failures.
@pearl stratus seems like it
They had their infrastructures in place pretty properly.
Puckett's lowkey tracer cosplay reverses the score to dallas 2-0
I like to sleep 10:30-11:00 or so, but these games starting at that time is just killer
Fuel getting rolled
Only way Dallas will have map wins if by a production mishap on the screen
Fuel looking pretty woke to me, Production
They should buff reaper to counter goats. That what I want
That ain't nomy
SF seems to be a overall top 5 team already
the chat's spamming jeff; what happeneed
the song
Song
Chat always spams Jeff
it sounds like jeff
the song just sounds like its saying JEFF JEFF JEFF
The song says Jeff Jeff
its twitch chat dont read into it lol
Honestly they just need to nerf heal stacking.
🤖 JEFF JEFF
Make supports do less healing when there's more than two of them.
I love the memes twitch makes
And just call it a fucking day.
Anyone else find it funny how much Zacharee memes and whines about having to play brig
And he's so bad at it
LUL
zach needs to go back to FU
Nah buff reaper.
I mean he's bad at it because he hates it.
anyone know where Bren and Sideshow have been?
bad at brig 
zach just a meh hitscan and that's it
But its why you shouldn't pick him up.
this clip didn't make much sense after the EMP, but in a nutshell this is what I'm looking out for next match
https://clips.twitch.tv/BlindingHelplessMacaroniBCWarrior
Lucios absolutely the team Playmaker | OW League S2 Week 1 Day 2 Dallas Fuel vs San Francisco Shoc - Clipped by itsObiwankenobi
@sand pond England.
Make really counter goats
@pearl stratus thank you
They'll probably be around next week, iirc.
Reaper is too slow to be that viable
Watch Dallas live?
once hes outta position hes as good as dead
that dallas watch party must be having a fun time
if you bought tickets, you should read what was included with your purchase
i hate this map so much
time for space fight!
I hate 2cp in general
Is Mickie still on fuel?
yes
yes
@balmy wolf they are embracing a losing streak
Hahaha.
Wasn't he known for his brig play
no
!players fuel
Dallas next match is against Seoul.
take zacheree out wtf
That's,.... going to be interesting.
Seoul gonna roll them
zach fuckin sucks lmao
architech on genji
Seoul looked awesome other than trolling on koth
top 5 genji imo
how long is he gonna take to charge it 🤔
Oh thats weird as fuck.
Week 3 is Dallas vs. Shanghai.
Week 4 is Dallas vs. Shanghai.
oof
They’re both gonna win 0 games those weeks
"Architect has built so little ult charge"
5 maps 5 draws
it's the little things I have to notice to enjoy this match
hell yeah
Diem just looks better than DF's dps players
Carpe Diemmmm
Diem looks better than a lot of DPS players tbf.
??
@pearl stratus not the weirdest double matchups all stage but yes
Get this kid off Junk....shouldn't be allowed to disrespect Seagull's junk skin
It's that its back to back.
Dallas has no other matches.
They play Shangfhai.
Then 6 days later.
oge??
They play SDhanghai
shock bout to roll this
hugeee
fuel suckkk

They're not even swapping Smurf back in.

bye fuel 👋
is zach that bad?
"Here. Play our NA people. You aren't worth of our Koreans"
yes ever since the WC
He's supposed to be a decent DPS but
I blame it on Aero being overrated, imo.
his brig is awful right now
People love to pretend Aero is this genius coach.
Well, bed time. I’ll watch the replay tomorrow. Can sleep well knowing Dallas still sucks
Zach hasn't done anything
But his coaching in the World Cup had the same weaknesses.
And he hasn't fixed it.
effect looks bad too
@balmy wolf night saucen
@balmy wolf Dallas V Fuel, neither wins.
its so... underwhelming
u know for being a 2 time contenders champion, u think you improve over time, but nope
And he picked up Zach because he "Liked working with him at the OWWC"
So he probably should have you know.
OGE looks like the only one doing anything
^
I feel bad for Fuel
effect tracer
and supports
Ooh
elk and alarm are scary
Another day of AAP.
Holy shit Fasty you're alive
supports are doing good
Alarm is Korean, he's part of the Korean carry.
i am :)
tracer against goats 
did u change ur name or something
I'm Salty
effect keeps forcing tracer against goats
Hiya

who u rooting for this time
sint aero their head coach
I feel like Aero doesn't actually understand 3:3.
@short vault I don't like Sinatraa.
USA was vastly underprepared for it in the World Cup.
So Dallas
aero doesnt seem tat good of a coach lol
And they don't seem prepared for it here.
just call him an alien
probably cause you're bad
did u see the thing between him and kephrii
Yes
Aero failed as a coach when the WC happen
still same old sina
lul
@short vault what happened
sina 👽🖖
Imagine asking a "Widow One Trick" to play Reinhardt & fill for the team. Then when he makes awful plays/decisions you make fun of him to 1,000+ people on stream. I could have left voice and locked in DPS but at least I tried to fill. You're SO toxic @Sinatraa. https://t.c...
1062
monka
Yeah I saw it
oof
sinatraa is an overpaid player
hes just dumb
koreans reportedly get paid so much more
wow couldnt kill super lmfao
super isn't looking too hot imo
Sinatraa himself has said he's not the highest paid in the league
yeah
its prob decay now
its just hes so young
300k jfc
i heard seagull got like 250k
also player sshud not sign for more den 1 year deals
the amount the salary will jump each year is crazy
Seagull was benched most of the time so
overwatch might not be a thing next year though
and the majority will be underpaids
it might not be
but from wat it looks like it will be
well its the opening week
taking a risk signing for just one
oh look fuel being beat back
the league makes so much moeny
compare to the salary paid?
sponsorships
For a two year contract.
Holy
sponsorships and deals
massive viewership
That's not that much money.
@plucky patrol to get in as a team, it's like 60 mill I think
It's not, but thats just for them to STREAM it.
wtf am i looking at
the owners "only paid" 20 mil to own a team
Franchising, marketing, merchandise, sponsorships
Then you have it being on ESPN3 now, Toyota, Coke, TMobile, Sour Patch Kids, etc.
effect just fucked up a grav
Coca Cola, the biggest brand on the planet is a sponsor of OWL
hit a pillar on 2nd point
Season 2 paid more.
Do you guys thing viewership is going to stay so high throughout the season or drop to like 60-70k
It's 40m+ now
Franchising always increases as the risk decreases.
and why it wont die next year
@plucky patrol On twitch it will drop.
Because Twitch is a shit viewing experience.
You only run twitch for tokens.
LOL
The stream quality is so much better on other sites.
Or you watch it on ESPN, etc.
Wait really
ye twitch quality is pretty bad
Yeah.
how is it better quality
Does anyone know how many viewers they get with all the sites combined
oge is a god
Too much bandwidth across the entire site.
No, because there's tons of them.
Bilibili, MLG, ESPN, Blizzard directly, in game client.
Blizzard probably knows.
But they haven't shared it.
Not to mention all the chinese sites now.
ooh wow I thought it was only twitch and disney xd
Since there's 4 chinese teams in the league.
Well technically Disney = ESPN.
Since the mouse owns ESPN.
what dont they own
If you want the real picture for it.

THE SYM CHEESE LUUUUUUL
Dallas 
Symmetra OP
Thats all of disneys shit, in the shape of mickie mouse 😛
UUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh C9
nerf shock
Dallas garbo
Dallas Dragons PogU
theyre tilted
...
asf
Did Shock just pull some playground quick play bullshit?
And completely punk Dallas./
oof and Jayne was bragging at how good they were gonna be
GG 
I mean Jayne is overrated as fuck.
Kinda feel bad but happy at the same point
No offense but Jayne isn't a great coach OR player
Him flexing about their scrim results was annoying af
The rest, I could take or leave.
Who did dallas scrim vs anyways
Uh
Like OD teams or something
dont they scrim everone?
You'd have to go through the weeks and find who they don't play
Thats what most teams did.
all shd all the time
Like London and NYXL scrimmed.
Since they never play each other in the regular season
Oh thats actually really smart. I thought they just scrimmed whoever they wanted
I know so much less than I thought I knew about OWL
Or at least they don't till late Stage 4.
Akm over affect
I mean I think it'd be safe to scrim anyone who you don't play that stage or the next stage.

I wonder if effect went to Korea yet
lol effect hasn't been traded yet
thought he didn't like the team
Same issue as Logix.\
oh
akm genji coming in
effect can be very good though
You have a player who you know couldn't make it through the first stage, and disappeared for an entire stage.
Thats a lot of risk to put money into.
Not worth it.
At least from an investment perspective.
Too much risk.
Also, did these matches run this long last year?
taimou, mickie, and harryhook saw no play
They seem to be running super long this year
Bring KyKy back ;-;
oh thats right
how do you type the phone?
And these games have been going long.
Tfw final match was supposed to be 35 minutes ago
If everything was the length of Atlanta vs. Florida they'd be on schedule.
I'm drawing conclusions...DF worst team shown so far
But Houston vs. Toronto was long af.
^ good match
I just want krillin to play a game for london, twitch chat would have a field day with him
I'm saying Dallas isn't great, but I don't want to say they're the worst.
what about florida
Because I want to see Shock play other people.
they got 4-0d
florida put up a fight
Before I come to an agreement on Dallas is really bad, or Shock is just that good.
tru
Because it could just be that Shock is just that good.
So Dallas actually might be a decent team, getting pub stomped.
florida got a participation medal
They may not have had anyone else scrim on Brig.
I mean, Dallas is the most stable team in the league
it feels like this is a NYXL vs SHD from last year
Typically your hit scan people scrim Zarya.
So AKM most likely would be Zarya not Brig.
should try to make these games earlier
Hard to.
If it goes too early you lose the west coast for your starter games.
It already starts at 4PM for the west coast.
You guys think they should fine Fuel for playing so bad?
Which is where your physical crowd is.
They lost like 30K viewers because Fuel is paying so bad
I go home to owl
understandable
@cedar drum yep
And match is boring
Tomorrow will be the real test of the schedule though.
Dallas is definitely sandbagging
thats why sat and sunday start a lot earlier
So don't miss the first games with the schedule shift.
As an Asian, that's awesome
At least atlanta vs florida was super fun to watch
Early game s
this match though...
zach xsomehow dies as brig to a dva bomb
can they just call it
Probably jumped.
get the next game started
Zach is masters lvl player
Oh i have go wake up at 12pm
Lul
Sad
I shit you not Brig is not allowed to jump if there's a D'va bomb.
You die to it every time.
Even with your shield up.
Because it loses contact with the floor so the bomb technically goes under the shield.
Same with shatters.
I wish ana was meta. I love playing/watching her gameplay
was not expecting super to start over smurf tbh
He didn't.
Smurf played Game 1.
Then they just put Super and Sinatraa in because hte game was boring.
ah missed the first map
lol
actually 1 hp
Super
There should be an Overwatch League Viewer, similar to world cup viewer
@plucky patrol it's planned
Wtffff
lol that shield
a little bit too late to start playing
@gaunt acorn Where is this info from?
From that site update they did recently which mentioned a viewer?
They mentioned it with the World Cup Viewer.
You think they'll make OWWC viewer but with ads ?
But it has no ETA.
So its just in production.
Also I bet they have a non-compete with Twitch as part of the 90 million Contract.
sleepy on 15 kill streak
Or at least they should.
They never mentioned a League viewer with OWWC viewer
Where they won't put out a competing product to the AAP.
They just said they'll use this tech for a lot of stuff in future
Yeah, that's what I have been saying every time I see someone on reddit asking for a OWL viewer
No way twitch allows something like that
They paid 90M
LETS GO SHOCK
100 tokens
LETS GO SHOCK
im at 133
@feral jacinth IIRC they randomly give outt 100 tokens at times
Im so confused but danke
@cedar drum the fact that world cup viewer was a prototype for owl viewer
I got it once last season
nut nut nut
and that the token drops mention in-game viewing
time for me to buy skins after this stream

Up down left and right
At least for this year
Till the current twitch contract is still on
so when is the next game going to start, they've been doing joke games for the last hour
Btw.....I have been getting tokens for watching
oh no bby what is u doing
O h
vpn?
Nope
Poor Dallas
There is like no follow ups
India is the country btw ....not on the list
We don't even have Twitch prime with Amazon prime here
They killed something
Pog
Yeah
Yeah

five matches a day is insane
9:20pm
EST BBY
EST <3
four matches a day is insane *
Houston vs Toronto was so long
Remember how graviton surge is supposed to be a hard ult to charge?
it was deadass a 2 hour game
aah
at least this match was quick
Just make the matches bo3 instead bo5
Such a good match tho
they're not bo5 though
it's four matches no matter what, a 5th if there's a tie
that's different from bo5
Yeah but if you do best of 3 then you can’t rotate all game modes
if it were bo5 they would end it at 3 wins
The victory is guaranteed at 3 wins.
4-0verwatch
GG fuel, ride the wave
It's not 3 and 5
What a mess from fuel
They just have the 4th game for map score
Seems like Dallas hasn't changed much either
Burn blue
ez clap
Because that makes timings every uneven
Its finally over
WOOOOOOO
pretty bad
1 more game?
that dumpster fire is burning blue
LETS GO SHOCK! LETS GO SHOCK!
It's was like beating a dead horse
Some days they can go 3 maps every match and some days 5 every match
Even SHD was better
4-0! 4-0! LETS GO SHOCK
even shanghai got a map
That's why they locked it 4 minimum
i'm going to bed, not going to watch the china teams, good luck to them tho
shanghai fuel
let me know if any of them is worst than fuel
China vs Korea now
Fuel should be fined for playing this bad
Charge shouldn't havve problem beating Panda team
feelsxqc man
Fuel's subs have been notoriously terrible
fuel lose 4-0 
Tier C tank OMEGASUPERLUL
How did dallas fuck up so hard again
Zacharee on junkrat
so..
Did

They are gonna blame something
Aero
WE ARE THE BAY NOT FUCKING NO CAL
Lmao
san francisco more like san poopcisco
I love san francisco
Im pretty sure everyone who isnt in California think that anything not LA is North
This was the first ladder game like game
Myself included.
GM team versus Masters team
And true san francisco smells like poop
LUL
but agreed, Its more Mid California
"with the help of twitch prime,I was able to pop off" Dafran-2019
who plays next
So SF vs ATL when
spark vs hunters
@whole mulch china teams
People in cal (with common sense) say La is so cal, Sf is the bay, and Sacramento is nor cal
Both are technically top teams
Omg....chat is spamming Jayne's tweet as copy pasta. Hahaha
By map diff
Hahahahaha
I'm not convinced shock is even that good, fuel was just that bad.
I'd like to see how shock does against other teams
yes
thats playing
hunters is the only all chinese player team.
Idk what Cuyo means by China teams
Oh
Spark, Charge, Dragons, Hunters are all china teams
shanghai was yesterday
but 3/4 china teams are koreans
Their HLC map was so... weird.
SHD looked good.
fun to watch though
Dallas has Effect and Closer don't they?
just buy koreans 
*then
Sunday is SEO vs DAL

what was jayne's tweet everyones mentioning
Jayne should quit this trash team
There's a reason I like outlaws
He must've deleted it
His twitch channel is much more successful than Fuel every will be


Its twitch chat
@light quarry Whenever I see power rankings I silently chuckle to myself thinking of previous day's scrimm results.
Something like that.
Literally at an hour delay
dont try to reason with it @vast geode
LMAO
For final match
"Every time I see a new power ranking I just think back to the scrims from the day before and quietly chuckle to myself. This is going to be an exciting season :)"
he deleted it then
The only thing you need to know Shock is good was to watch Shock play. Clean engages, ult discipline, confidence in their main tank, quick disengages and rengages, min-maxing cart time and ultimate charge. It would be clear if they were playing S1 Dragons.
@vast geode They deserve it, we cheer them on every time and they almost always disappoint.
Aero has a lot to talk to them about then
how'd nyxl play yesterday? i missed it
@solar trout and that is?
not goats
most of the coaches aren't exactly great players
which was fun to watch.
so why are they coaching
thats my question
no.
Mano has a lot of work to do if NYXL is going to win this season.
No
They lost like 40-50K viewers because of that game
It was Nenne and Libero
no pine no watch
Meko did go Sombra and was very effective
Nenne is a good addition to NYXL
Chinese chat 
thank god janus got the boot
I'm still in awe with birding's zarya
Still couldnt save London 
I know 
well, one of the GZ's players looks lke a fatter jake paul
Is London's performance curve over this season be a steep parabolic curve again? 
how many times do we have to say that coaching and playing arent the same thing
that distubs me for some reason
how many football coaches are good at football?
Hopefully this game is more entertaining
Chengdu is full Chinese I guess?
Yeh nah
If dallas was so bad they did so well in stage 4 season 1
I dunno
brig
TriHard 7 TriHard 7
Is Kyb the only black player in the league?
Kyb like tviq lol
I think the meta is just trash tbh
Like no homo
It really limits some teams potential
But by god
Black players with Euro nationalities? 
like some teams are just better than others by default because this meta is so limited
21 Savage would be triggered by that sentence @vast geode
dps players have been gutted
I feel like Dallas have potential to be better.
like a ton.
But the meta wasnt the only thing hurting them
So Dallas is rly meta dependant?
I hope they dont go goats
Their subs and decisions to not play some players were really bad.
need to kick a few dps players off
YES CHARGE
Zach didnt need to be played
and get some better players
Mickie needed to be on DVa
Yes
@cedar drum too late
Yikes Chengdu
Since he's mainly a Tracer.
Effect was on zarya i suppose?
Where was the follow up after the hamster?
"Every time I see a new power ranking I just think back to the scrims from the day before and quietly chuckle to myself. This is going to be an exciting season :)"
Roadhog PogU
But muh scrimbucks
I'd assume thye practiced goats
interesting comp
It depends who they scrimmed against tbh
o i forgot the pokemon is on chengdu
ROADHOG
if they were scrimming like Florida or something, I'd take their scrims with a huge grain of salt
Hotba 
All we missin now is junk
We had junk
Doomfist?
Zacharee
Man, GC's skins and outlines look cool as all heck.

Junk was played on Seoul the other day
Oh ok all we missin is doom
Yes
Doom
I want more doomfist
on Route 66
I specifically remember because they ran Junk and Ashe with Pharmercy
it was explosions everywhere
I really like watching Busan
as with all Control Maps
Is this match the Chinese meta?
Guess so
This is pretty good
Guangzhou tracer had so high sensitivity, I thought my quality dropped
Chengdu likes to play a lot of DPS from what I saw of scrimm rumours
Can't get countered if your opponent doesn't know what kind of comp your running 
chengdu with the weird goats
Like, they just don't play regular goats
“Goats but with the wrong tanks” meta
I'm gonna root for Chengdu because I like Pandas
this map is exciting so far
tf is tha comp though
That was actually pretty close
lmao fuel got clapped
yes
@balmy wolf Thats not a good enough word for it
Cursed brand
steamrolled isn't even right
Rascal wasn't even relavent in Dallas
true
And I wouldn't say that Dallas got carried by Seagull
xQc was just being a toxic meme
Hotba kinda seems meh on Tracer
Id attribute it to good teamwork
is that roadhog
Yes
iirc wasn't there drama behind the scenes with Rascal and fuel
so all 29 heroes have been used?
or one smol hamster
no goats tho
@frozen perch not doomfist or soldier
Soilder was picked for like 2 secs but never used
Big brain DVa bomb removes hamster minefield
lmao this 3 3 thing is so annoying
^
its so repetitive and limiting for some teams
even if some teams are running DPS
Its still not majority of the games
So, how are you guys feeling about these two new teams after this?
Charge is good, but I never knew Hotba was a DPS? I thought he was a tank main
well one is going dps and another is off goats aka “i know goats is three tanks but dunno which tanks”
he did play tracer a bit on philly
But this one map is hard to say. Have to see how they do in the next 2 maps
kinda
They really should do these games earlier.
wasent jake in for like a round
then the holy c9 on numbani
Hotba is lowkey a boss
I KNOW, I LOVE IT
🅱otba
sf shock beat dallas fuel 4-0
Me in Philly match discussion rn: “I love Charge. I love Charge. I love Charge.” They’re doing well!
i like charge but i hope chengdu plays baconjack
Didn't watch the match but how was Dallas?
Okay true, Dray
Did they pick up anybody good?
Dallas 
yeah people are whining about benched baconjack
@gaunt acorn no bacon without baconjeck and garry?
Dallas failed
Dallas was shit
some how
oh wow
Shock creamed them
last year they were really good
lmao can we have seagull
“Didnt watch the match but how was dallas”

shock was on point though
I swear, pro Wrecking Ball is amazing to watch.
Geguri's wrecking ball was a blast to watch
I've been supporting shock since the start of season 1 and I'm so happy
ow wow
...Ameng, I doubt that was gonna work.
i support nyxl
agrred
Shock went into defense once with 6 ults
They took the time breaker with a symm teleport to point, and went right past the slow orisa setup
Tie breaker*
How many matches have there been and who has won them
But these comps are zzzz.
8?
I wanted more exciting stuff out of Chengdu.
I know it first hand he is a flex looking to outperform hotba
SFS won them all
But I guess they really can't.
Cause they are so good
With no YXL.
Also no Baconjack, but that might just be because Lateyoung on Zarya made more sense.
No JiQiRen personally
if you're going to add MY
play the OG MY together
just visa situation made them unlucky
Eh I'm more worried about just having DPS around for flexing onto Zarya/Brig,.
Jinmu is kind of weak imo.
Lmfao Jayne.
Chengdu looking better than Fuel
minesweeper shu
Chengdu looks not horrible for what they're missing atm.
shu fragging
Shu is playing like a monster.
do they even need rise smh
lul, emp the zen but can't kill him
Hotba scuffed dva bomb
this match is great
Yveltal is going to be a top Lucio this season, mark my words.
china namba wan 😱
That sneaky sombra
“See if we get another long volskaya” please no
Pull!
@feral jacinth [in tokens] please yes
Fuck youre right
c9 LUL
rio had primal as well hahahah
C9LUP
xQC9
oh god the casters made an "I WANNA BE TRACER" joke
tracer eraser 
when is winston's lab going to be updated
RIP Chengdu, GZ has a huge timebank
mccree omegalul
interesting how everyone is going tracer sombra widow on volskaya lol
also chengdu hunters mercy's name is a pokemon
he only went soldier to get to point fast lol
What hero is missing that hasn't been played?
Yep, by Dafran
lmao ofc
3 every hour
I hear its every hour
i remember when i think it was jake who went torb for the first time ever last season and i watched it live and felt like i was a part of history
