You have a chance of getting a 100 token drop ye
theres bonus 100 token drops
are you fucking kidding me
i didnt get alerted that owl was streaming
cause i accidentally unfollowed
that's not by accident lol
good thing we have #esports-news
imagine unmuting esports announcements
¯_(ツ)_/¯
we're doing role pings soon
dewwit
And good thing we have @limber pine running it
shock 4-0ed fuel?
GZ 3 - 1 Chengdu yes?
was fuel shit or was shock really fucking good
@minor flame yup....
Fuel got fucking dumpstered
Both
shock really good
One word for Fuel:
fuel wasn't baaaad but they weren't good
what was fuels weak and shocks strong
ZachaREEEEEEEEEE
exactly ^^^
i thought he was a hyped one
Wut
did really well in contenders
Zach?
that dumpster fire is blue tho
i still don't get his signing
Zach's garbage.
feelsbad
The only person who likes Zach is Aero.
Baconjack looked lost
Shock rotated their entire roster and still absolutely shit on Fuel
yeah
what was looking strong in shock
But Aero also didn't coach him not be garbage.
people thought I was crazy when I said Hammond would be big in OWL!
Shock put in their NA players.
Happy seems so much better than baconjack
they literally gave Dallas less Koreans to play.
except for choihyobin or whatever it is
And Dallas still got shit on.
they ran Super tho
There's architect playing too
Nevix is underrated
@minor flame They played a no-Brig goats with Architect on Ana.
Thats how not seriously Shock took the match.
Shock shit on Fuel and Shock couldn't even play Viol2t
Sleepy showed up though, he channeled.
We don't even know their starting 6 yet lmao
i live in australia and all the matches are during school/work hours :/
how weird were chengdu comps
@green stump you're still crazy
Elsa is playing anything you can do I can do better with Hotba right now.
It's amazing.
omfg casters make Hit or Miss joke
@worn falcon 😄 I remember so many people giving me shit!
casters said Ameng is the best hammond in the world? tf?
hes known for his hammond
but surely not #1
This feels like a qp game
baconJ LUL K E
Who would be #1 though Infinity
yeatle kapp
Its hard to tell when it comes to these types of things
bc pros dont play ladder as much
pros often play ladder
just not as much as scrimming
unless youre someone like custa
#1 on ladder
Tomorrow is gonna be a pog https://i.imgur.com/WIX8KIX.png
pro play #1 is weird
EMP by black 
Washington v NYXL
will NYXL be too shitty to win
or will Washington be
actually ok
paris could honestly win vs london lul
who does the titans have
canada team has kr team?
Paris beating London would definitely reinforce the whole "EU is far superior at goats" diatribe
llo
that surprises you for some reason?
not rlly
that describes basically every american team already

Three of the four Chinese teams are Korean
Both Canadian teams are Korean
One of the EU teams is Korean
It's like top 3 at the cafes there
Boosting has declined now that its actually physically illegal.
bc they take gaming seriously
Because getting caught does more than hurt your career.
Wym boosting is physically illegal?
This Overwatch gameplay highlights the Atlanta Reign versus the Florida Mayhem from the second day of Week 1 Stage 1 in the Overwatch League Season 2. Subscr...
OW is way bigger than csgo in korea
It's illegal to boost in Korea now.
well yeah

$20,000 fine, and up to two years in prison if they want.
Dafrans zarya tracking today
cs is a disingenuous metric to compare games to in Korea

Asia in general
They rolled Florida
Florida was shit.
well yeah
It looked to me that Mayhem was just bad
Atlanta beat the worst team in the league
They play a real team Sunday.
Yeah, it wasn't because Atlanta was amazing.
We'll see how good Atlanta is on Sunday.
When they play Philly.
D'va.
Daco and Pokpo are a nutty tankline
ofc
Mesaa is also pog
mesaa jar jar binks
Dafran didn't do anything wrong, it was a good debut for him.
Pokpo came in crucial
But he didn't do anything to write home about in terms of actual play.
A better team would have taken advantage of how garbage Atlanta's ult situation was lol
But it was Florida.
So it didn't matter.
what is pepo again
It was a good match for them, granted Florida Is crap but it’s nice to see them play well together
i dont keep up with emotes
All you need to know about Florida is that Atlanta whiffed grav and bomb, and then won the fight anyway
icic
Dafran spent all his time solo graving and solo emping people.
lol
i missed the shock vs fuel, is it worth watching?
They're both pretty solid honestly.
They have nutty off-tanks.
Hotba has been flexing to Tracer.
Elsa has been flexing to Sombra and Tracer.
Shock steamrolled fuel @rapid locust
shock 4-0
so no?
shock prob one of my fav teams last season
they should be one of my favs this season too
does ameng live up to hype?
lmao
Thats the game in 3 seconds.
I'll just watch the highlights then
how is ameng
ty
Ameng is decent.
Chengdu hunters actually won another map
Rio is looking like the better Hammond.
if they win i'm going to be so impressed but probs not
Toronto Houston was super long, and a good game.
it's 5 pm in australia
And this one
how is toronto
They looked pretty decent.
alot of ppl power ranked them at like around the 10 or 9
I actually don't think Neko is an upgrade over Aid at the moment.
Aid played his mind out.
Houston played really well too.
better than last game
wtf
wut
linkzr too inconsistent?
lmao
or cant flex
Not a great flex.
uHhuh yeah maybe but

No impact whatsoever minus on Widow.
They'll be better off with Jake + Danteh for now.
was the first control map close?
alot of widow players are fucked over
going for charge in this game btw
wait
Jake actually played really well, no meme.
Jake played...
they wanted a good tracer player
Pharah, Sombra, McCree, Brig.
now tracer isn't really needed anymore lol
damn
And all of them were solid.
These teams are garbo
Jake has improved
u know michelle? got signed by seoul?
Half of what he played his hitscan.
he's playing everything
lmao garbo
So he's flexing across the barrier now.
He was traded for Smurf.
i kinda forgot about it ha
To give Shock a real tank.
A lot of the off-tanks are now.
Because your tank needs to be flexible if you go 1:3:2 or 1:4:1.
i heard that 26/29 heroes in OWL got played Day 1
and for a community that just whines about goats
I was memed yesterday by asking who is Michelle lol
They already hit 29/29.
Dafran.
ofc
He didn't do much on it, but he played it till he died.
Hammond is boring to watch
@pearl stratus DF was played?
bacon got banned?
No.
ah
@delicate herald Elsa is one of the best Sombra in China, overall.
they subbed him out lol
i needa catch up witha shit ton of teams
So it looks like this comp is about rotating Lateyoung to D'va/Zarya
dude elsa is so good
missing day 2
casters wtf
pretty glad were not only seeing goats like contenders, would be boring as fuck
It's kind of interesting.
GZ is the same way.
Like right now Happy is on Widow, doing his thing.
But he's not their best Widow.
Shu is.
But he's also their flex support.
goats is definitely still really strong, but at least its not 100% goats all the time
I like this commentary.
yeah it’s finally varied a bit
sodespite
Basically its teams playing stuff they want to play, and think will work
If it doesn't work , they rotate to the mirror till they can swap again.
ufff
Which is fair.
PogU
hey endo
I'm still wondering what "goats" means.
Which matches?
goats is triple tank triple support
all?
i can't remember lol
Go on all tank (and) support
Ah.
i see people say goats is unga bunga dive
No, its just Goats.
basically
@reef imp its named after the team goats
I mean
Go all tank and supports was added later.
goats needs more nerfing tho
3 - 3 comp
it’s more fun like this
it means greatest of all times]
GOAT is standard for "Greatest of All Time"
with variation
but people say the go on all tanks supports as well
But it was just a team name.
goats is just a placeholder name turned into a reasonable official name
Hold on. My schedule isn't loading.
im watching chengdu hunters vs guangzhou charge
damn hunters dominating
boi
vANCOUVER vs Spark
yvetal is good i remember him from world cup
London provided they flex out from 3:3. They're not good at it, and it will cause them issues.
oof
I expect France to look like a better main tank, but Fury should cover Gestures issues.
spark vs valiant
are these chinese run teams any good?
nice
Valiant, but its not going to be easy.
vancouver vs spark is what im really waiting for
They're both garbo
And Hammond is fucking boring to spectate
Fate and Space are going to be more impactful than Nosmite and Ria.
nice hack
jesus lord the matches drew on for so long
And Guxue isn't integrated enough to play the full game.
how about dafrans performance tho
Also Spark still has Bazzi, Krystal is in jail for one more game.
Dafran did okay
Which means Londons DPS should have a noticeable edge.
what if Valiant v Spark with no bans
LAV's biggest issue is going to be Agilities Brig is meh.
No bans and no barriers?
no bans
I think you could see Spark stealing the win.
not barriers
If you have Guxue and Krystal fully integrated.
this should be a fun day to watch
Without Krystal Bazzi and GodsB are just double hit scan, and Bazzi is a liability.
I also think Valiant has a slight, potential, edge on Supports.
wow nice retake
I haven't seen Agilities play since WC, so my opinion would be dated.
But provided LAV coaching didn't pull a Dallas Fuel and just not coach their players
wow final stage
I think Agilities has the edge.
think guxue will make another appearance and perform well?
I think they'd be dumb not to give him some stage time.
Just to get him used to LAN.
But I don't think he'll play the majority of the match.
them casters said nosmite will get more playtime
My guess is we'll see it being split 3:2 for a while.
Unless the game is close.
And they don't want to risk it.
He's mechanically a stronger tank than Nosmite, but Nosmite is still very good.
OW and OWL is surprisingly more popular in KR and china than i thought
well OWL more pop in china
heard Guxue got alot of endorsements
from weibo
so close
trending
Sparks biggest boon is IDK, though.
it's overtime
He came up so clutch in their Shanghai game.
IDK is a great support
hes actually enabling his team
chengdu wins?
gg
nah nvm
gonna stretch out this game
for even more
welp
holy
alot of teams are closer than i thought
Shu won that fight for them.
this is how it goes
He generated Trans SO fast.
Good swap
Like Jjonak fast.
ohhh RIP chengdu
Charge overextends way tooo much
wait a minute
ofc
WAIT A MINUTE
Jebaited
HAHAH
Lateyoung Zarya though.

what a turn around
Is solid af.
GGWP
That's like 3 overextension that cost them the game
i'm so impressed
China numba Wan I guess
Charge looks the better team with overextension issues
WELL PLAYED HOLY SHIT

wow ana monster mode
Chengdu is solid themselves
Fun fact: Chengdu is the first full Chinese roster to win a series in OWL
And wasn't SHD smh
better than fusion lmfao
ill be looking out for Chengdu
Shanghai could have had the world cup team realistically (minus leave)
more
But noooo. Van had to fuck it all up being a corrupt piece of shit.
Lateyoung doesn't look happy LUL
Is this the first time we get a Chinese translator for OWL?
no
No.
we had her last year
We've had translators for Diya and stuff.
what was her name..... i forgot
Ah kk. Guess I was tthat uninterested with SHD
but she translated for the OWWC too
I don't remember, but she's cute af.
FUCKING POWER MOVE FROM LATEYOUNG.
That was actually hype as fuck.
lmao chinese translator that’s cool af
Lateyoung post game drop the mic in english.
2 really good games today. Better than yesterday I'll say
lmao she's so happy and stuff and lateyoung's just looks depressed
@pearl stratus chixiaotu?
WE ARE READY FOR THE WORLD TO SEE CHINA AGAIN
that sounds right
I think.
sounds nice
Or super tired. Its 11:30pm there now.
Chinese full roster
High ground or low ground, T-mobile is with y'all
I dont know much about my heritage
4 old MY players, too.
It’s 2:35 here
but ill be looking out fofr Chengdu
Jiqiren, YXL, Lateyoung and Coach RUI.
They just need to go balls out on the money to secure Leave when he turns 18.
for some reason
Get all of MY together.
Such a good roster.
And I want to see Leave fuck on Jayne even more.
Lol
Make the fat spaz get all angry on twitter.
yes you have to be 18 otherwise dreamkazper will get you
pepo is like sketchy?
Who's stronger? All of Canada, or one Chinese Boi.
Pepo = rarted or young
pepo = pedo

Goddamn youngster nowadays
pretty different
Yes, so you look at the context it's being used in
Do I need to spell the linguistics out for you?
My real wish was that the OWWC china team got picked up all together (imaging everyone was 18+).
That would have been an amazing team for Chengdu/Hangzhou any chinese area.
...
Why is Babybay doing an interview?
Shouldn't the interview be with players?
Who wants to talk to a fucking bench.
Alright so only two games I care about tomorrow.
And they're the last two.
Nice.
Games today were a snooze
@whole mulch tomorrow the big pog
@sullen berry pog heals and dmg
sorry, not tomorrow thanks
Diya is the only left from the old SHD?
well technically
he's the only one left from old-old shanghai
shd
Rip
yo what is up?
vods are up
does AT literally mean "at" or is it an acronym when the games were being prepared today?
Not sure what that sentence is meant to be but thanks for the link
Are there timestamps or w.e for the matches? On mobile so not sure if I'm missing anything
twitch holds all of the videos
so if you wanted to watch say just the first map from atlanta vs mayhem
you can find just that specific video
instead of watching the whole match
I only see the overall broadcast I think let me check again
Ah got it
Under highlights
Thanks for helping Kenobi

would be nice if they gave tokens for reruns for eu fans
no
eu fans get the same treatment
your games are so early compared to the rest of the world today and tomorrow
The saturday and sunday matches are perfect tho, they start at 9 pm CET
litterally the games are at 3 in the morning for us
@fallow otter for other side of world like Aus?
It’s in the middle of the day in Australia when the stream is on
I think's Blizzards War on memes is too harsh

@balmy wolf don't thanks
Twas a joke
Lmao dafran is a mad lad
new fav team REIGN
OWL sucks for EU....
lol
why can't they play earlier ?
idk it was earlier last season lol

how aru
fine thank you! how about you?

and i dont play overwatch
but when i get debit card i will download this gaem
game'
overwatch is best game what i love

I made this site for switching between the various OWL streams such as the player POVs and the higher quality MLG stream https://owl-command-center.github.io
Oh so yeah - where can we see if we are earning any OWL tokens by watcihng the stream?
watching omg I can engrlish
it will give you a twitch notification
how do the vancouver titans look? 😮
that site is really cool!
@frosty thorn You have to link your Twitch account to your Battle Net, and then you get drop notifications from Twitch after each map (1 token per map)
Only works if you are in an eligible country though
So the game I watched yesterday won't work? I watched it on the OWL app and I had linked my bnet 😦
It might've? If you go to the normal twitch channel maybe you see your drops
I don't want to buy the all access.... ok, I am kind of dumb, but I will try to figure this out ;p
No need to buy it lol, you can still get your tokens by just watching
Oh ok - it was linked apparently already - so where would I see it? on twitch?
the watchpoint music is real PepePls

Poor Bren 
nope
So I have to watch the match through twitch and not the OWL app?
@hidden osprey youre alive again lol
cause I still can't find on my stupid twitch page where it shows me earning tokens - sigh.... this is when I know I'm getting too old for games ;p
just in time for owl


yeah I haven't really been paying much attention to OW the past month, but excited for OWL again
also haven't spoken in g-d since December 👀
profit man, love this guy's energy
🍹
Benbest is actually a fuckin Chad
crazy to think that I played with Benbest in QP a few months ago
and now he's live on stage lol
If benbest plays winston then gg lol
Ok, so I have it on my twitch app now - so how will I know if/when I get the token? XD
I just want mah lucio bit
benbest pogu

will fl mayhem be the worst team?
Certainly in contention with SHD
they might even go the same as SHD as they did in S1
it's randomly awarded I think
does twitch get you loot when ur away?
I got one so far
lol...I don't remember choosing kruise pov but that explains things.
soon poggers
I'm just trying to make sure I'm even gonna get the 1 token - cause I feel like I didn't get anything from last night
Owl app broke
that's of course my luck - cause I was using the owl app thinking - awww this is the easy way ;p
paris eternals popping off
they just got rolled lol
FLM = -4
SHD = -2 on the app
So so far flm and df are worse than shd
well shd is a totally new team lol
Kruise went full reddit lucio lul

True
Grav gon D:
FunnyAstro must have lent Kruise some energy
fl mayhem seems like a horribly run organization tbh
You don't challenge EU to GOATS
EU GOATS > any other GOATS
Oh, people think Paris is a nice place, 😦
its decent
Kruise's movement is so smooth
Can you idle the twitch stream with audio only?
I think so
Profit on Brig makes me sad
I dunno i was scared fo do that
I could on my phone if i wanted to
But im watchjng twitch on laptop anyway
Since owl website crashed for me lowkey
I wanna watch the MLG stream but I want the tokens so I can idle a window on my server
Challenging EU to GOATS = deth
My PC lags with more than one stream running in the background 😦
Ah yeah then itd an issue
london sandbagging
That was absolutely disgusting
wow
London
what's wrong with Londo?
holy shit
they don't know how to play Goats?
London can't play GOATS
Paris making London look like some Contenders level team
Is gonna get 4-0’d huh?
EU know GOATS better than any other region
London cannot play GOATS at all
@feral jacinth 4-Overwatch ?
Boutta go even lower
London is trash at goats, damn
Totally
Ah well
Everyone's been complaining about GOATS for ages and now people are seeing it dominate the eSports scene
awww man - and I can't even talk in that room of chaos - what a pity
I imagine there will be some tweaks to come characters before too long
Maybe thisll light a fire under blizzards ass
Hopefully
for some buffs/nerfs
Like.... a reaver and brigitte nerf?
It's not that it's a "bad" meta, it's that it's a fixed meta, characters who aren't "good" in this meta are just totally unplayable
did i miss anything
Stacked 👏 Heals 👏 are fucked 👏
Who knows, but fights in melee range going on for like 30 seconds without anyone dying shows that AoE healing is a LITTLE STRONG MAYBE
Probably nerf healers
Not mercy though
for the love of god leave mercy alone blizzard
I think they will nerf AoE heals
merco will not receive nerfs
not moira
Hard to nerf Lucio/Brig because individually they are fine but combined its just a lil much
Maybe Brig's heal splits between all targets, so instead of healing everyone for a crazy amount maybe heal them for a percentage of an amount
lucio needs speed nerf
But making stacked heals act differently is kinda band-aid
Idk I'm no dev
Maybe buff doomfist
I feel like everyone's been saying "supports are borderline OP" literally since the game was launched
And this is what it's like when they are just over that border
Hes good againstgoats
Idk
Make Doomfist an off-tank 
OOF
Doomfist is great against GOATS
that’d be scary
hmmm not a bad idea
I'm surprised people don't play him more tbh
Doomfist buffed = Goats death
Surely someone has a pocket Doom
Isn't it funny how that works
3 patches dropping Doomfist, all of a sudden the ONLY meta Doom is great against becomes dominant
Bring 👏 back 👏 doom 👏👏👏
I just hate the idea of nerfs.
I like when each character is uniquely strong, but not so unique that they're niche. I would like all characters to be viable and strong.
So buff all character
Powercreep 
I'd rather powercreep than every character feeling weak >.>

If you think about it
You will literally never, in the history of everything in the world, have a situation where everyone is viable and strong.
Thats literally never going to happen.
Ever.
Nevermind i would say rein is the most important part of goats but some switch with winston
e v e r
Big EMP 
Competitive nature will always find a meta. No matter what you're playing.
MMOs, FPS, etc.
Hate playing against Sombra, love watching it
Yeah I was surprised with the Sombra use
London is amazing
good hammonds have such fast mobility
Hammond would be great if Brig stun wasn't so good
Wth how do they gain emp@so fast
Oof
Yah
Crazy high HP and crazy high healing means you build ult FAST
NICE
Guard carry
Guard is nuts wtf
never heard of this guy but hes fucking crazy lol
they need soon on sombra to counter him or something
Guard won
Lmao
I'm like the biggest Gesture fan
Not much that counters Sombra tbh
Guard carried Gesture
I think
Still only 70% on grav
London found their niche
Fury is like 140%
The sombra
Their niche for now
A tiebreaker gonna get into place
Next week everyone's running Sombra 
Im sure its going to be the same score
Hack the planet
Dayum
DAYUM
that shatter
Wp
Sombra gives me Sitara vibes
Dayum
From Watchdogs 2
oH
are the audience paid actors or are they actually fans?
I see
Well i mean
why do they sell tickets for watching there
its a scam
Oh noeS
thanks for being a dickhead
Guard is actually insane
could have just answered the question
Like
Its not just his hacking
and done 166 healing xD
His tracking is really good
Its just fans lol
Wow
I'm loving this
But I'm pretty sure the Grand Finals had some paid actors
London did good this map
chu mean cmonBruh
Volskaya.... the big back n forward map where im sure multiple rounds will be done
Please no 5 map my tokens say yes but i dont wanna watch 2 hours of the same team
Wym?
If its 2-2
cant wait for new york exelcsior
oh for real? Thank god
Yesterdays 5 map game was deadly
I mean
No draws allowed I guess
One team has to go trough
Wait wtf was just on the screen lmao
Guys
oh nvm my stream just froze
Yeah practice with easy zenyattas that almost dont do damage
