[spring heath]

[fickle brook]

gg ny won

[north tendon]

spicy trades

[spring heath]

the world is round

[minor flame]

you know for Seoul v NYXL

this has been

[past fox]

the clutch

[minor flame]

close

[north tendon]

why did ryu trans so early LUL

[north beacon]

I guess I save a few bucks

[south brook]

The emotions I just felt

Like what

[north tendon]

the supports ult are so bad from seoul

[balmy wolf]

[queen drift]

honestly seoul just look so nervous

[night tusk]

Let zunba play why have him on the team 😡

[fickle brook]

What am I supposed to do with my Seoul dva skin now......

[spring heath]

i think they hate their tanks rn

[south brook]

More like scared

[feral igloo]

Seoul ninesty

[south brook]

LOL

[spring heath]

i still want my michelle skin

[balmy wolf]

Seoul is hardcore choking rn

[north tendon]

@fickle brook wear it for the colors

[mossy bone]

it wasnt all bad

[north tendon]

or c9 with it

LUL

[minor flame]

they both performed

pretty solid

[feral igloo]

i think the Seoul ninesty problem is that Fissure and Jecse seem to be arguing in coms over who should shotcall. Maybe sub in Tobi and Zunba?

[minor flame]

except seoul choked

hard on volskaya

[queen drift]

how dyou know they are stella?

[north tendon]

no guys fissure is ok, he just needs a better team LUL

[feral igloo]

Commentators said so @queen drift

[fickle brook]

Can everyone just scream sub in zunba pls

[queen drift]

not arguing just asking haha

[balmy wolf]

Ha Seoul ninesty

[minor flame]

Seoul needs better discipline

[queen drift]

ye but was that like an observation

[minor flame]

in panic ults

and when to go in

you saw in numbani they were like

scared to go in

[feral igloo]

No, the commentators can hear the player comms. @queen drift

[spring heath]

haha yeah give fissure shotcall 😏

[queen drift]

oof then.. that's big

[balmy wolf]

@minor flame you rak drisiprin!!

[feral igloo]

They commented about how fissure and jecse cant seem to figure out who should shotcall so they overflood comms

sit jecse out and let fissure run the show with a lunatic hai core

😡

[minor flame]

Fissure shotcalling would be better since Fissure needs all the support he needs when he fucks up another charge and goes into enemy territory

[spring heath]

fissure will roll in to call out shots and get picked so

[queen drift]

lunatic hai core without esca and zunba

[spring heath]

look at his face

[queen drift]

or whoru

[spring heath]

so laser focused

[balmy wolf]

Bring back esca

[fickle brook]

The face says everything

[trim shadow]

fissure is angry

[balmy wolf]

Fissure is M A D because he is B A D

[feral igloo]

No fucking substitutions. I fucking hate hocury, shitty ass coach.

I hope Seoul loses now.

[trim shadow]

who do they even have as subs lol

[night tusk]

no zunba 😦

[feral igloo]

Zunba, and Tobi

[minor flame]

wtf anamo

wtf

[queen drift]

inb4 fissure throws playoffs and gets traded to valiant or some shit

[north tendon]

anamo is the scary secret hard carry

[balmy wolf]

Hmmm maybe he knows what he is doing and that's why he is coach and you are not

[minor flame]

Anamo died the least in the entire league

[queen drift]

everyone on nyxl is the secret hard carry

[trim shadow]

i doubt fissure would be the one getting traded but someone is definetly getting traded after this stage

[north tendon]

yea but dying the least is insane

[feral igloo]

@balmy wolf by that logic, nobody here can make observations as everyone here is gold or plat.

[queen drift]

gm 🖐

[feral igloo]

Same

[balmy wolf]

Fissures getting slapped around lol

[minor flame]

NYXL mind games

[queen drift]

fissure would be more likely to leave similar to gladiators

actual diva

[north tendon]

as he should be

[queen drift]

d.va irl

[minor flame]

jjonakkkkkkkk

[balmy wolf]

Ha boop

[trim shadow]

fissure wanted to be on seoul lol

[spring heath]

anamo is so scary

[trim shadow]

i doubt hes that kinda guy

[queen drift]

well no

he wanted to be on london

then he got traded

[trim shadow]

fissure saidd

[queen drift]

he wanted to be on seoul, he got given to gladiators

[minor flame]

pretty sure i remember Fissure said like

[trim shadow]

he wasnt happy with the gladiators

[minor flame]

he was in dinner during london

and then london said

youre going to glads

[trim shadow]

and he wanted to be on a korean team

[minor flame]

so he had to pack on short notice

[queen drift]

a korea team in this context means korean roster i think

[balmy wolf]

Just a map 5 that is all I want

[minor flame]

FISSURE

WHAT IS YOU DOING

[trim shadow]

i got flashbacks to dafrans over the roof grav

i thought fleta was about todo that

[balmy wolf]

Lol jecse

[minor flame]

0.01m

lmao

almost another seoul9

damn nenne

holy shit

[balmy wolf]

It's a massacre

[minor flame]

over the bridge grav

[night tusk]

and still better ult exonomy

[queen drift]

looks like seoul comms are broken after that volskaya

[balmy wolf]

New York is so good

[south brook]

NENNE

[minor flame]

lma

what is this positioning

[balmy wolf]

[south brook]

It feels bad watching this

[queen drift]

[minor flame]

[night tusk]

[balmy wolf]

I stayed up for this

Too good

[tired mango]

nyxl's been doin their OWL analytics. zarya dies -> "guys we only have a 5% chance to win the fight, retreat"

[balmy wolf]

Wanna see a map 5

[queen drift]

that's wizardhyeongs impact

❤

[night tusk]

pog

[minor flame]

wizhyeong is on wjustice

[balmy wolf]

Pog

[night tusk]

i am holding my breath kinda in every push..

[tired mango]

yeah you can see wiz's impact by looking at justice

[feral igloo]

Seoul Excelsior

[queen drift]

he was on NYXL and LWBlue. He very very heavily shaped the nyxl we see here

[south brook]

Spicy

[queen drift]

very statistic coach

[minor flame]

Pavane is the main tank

people seem to forget that

main coach*

[queen drift]

yes im aware.. but listen to what nyxl say about hyeong

[balmy wolf]

Sad.jpeg

[queen drift]

pavane is an insane coach and there's no disrespect by saying this is hyeongs impact

which it is

we were specifically talking about nyxlknowing when they're more likely to lose a fight and disengage

thats wizardhyeong

[tired mango]

who hasnt been a coach for them for months ?

[balmy wolf]

GET EM JJONAK

[night tusk]

F

[tired mango]

F

[balmy wolf]

F

[queen drift]

again - even if he hasnt coached them for months, you can see his impact. thats what i said.

[balmy wolf]

Fs for the boys

[past fox]

The bronze strat from fissure

[mossy bone]

that dude almost ripped his jersey

[balmy wolf]

Winnable

@mossy bone he should

[north tendon]

LOL

HES SO MAD

[north beacon]

[trim shadow]

welp time to start eliminating seoul from stage playoffs

[balmy wolf]

"Wooo! Yas!"

[cloud latch]

lol

[night tusk]

NA

[balmy wolf]

Darado has the best music of the maps

[trim shadow]

this music sounds like the final boss battle

[feral igloo]

The dorado trumpet is nice to listen to

[queen drift]

lolwut

[trim shadow]

picture jjonak holding a red flag and seoul is trying to charge at the fla

flag* now put dorados music with it

[feral igloo]

When will goats end?

[balmy wolf]

Juke machine broke

[queen drift]

probably stage 3..? i think?

[trim shadow]

cant wait for paris next stageeeeeeeee

[cloud latch]

stage 3 most likely

[trim shadow]

if its in rotation

[queen drift]

the goats nerfs wont be enough to kill goats completely but it'll start to change late stage 2

should be mostly gone stage 3, i guess

when teams have had time to practice new comps

[cloud latch]

goats will probably still be alive on some maps

[queen drift]

yeah it always will be i think

but it wont be THE comp for every game

[trim shadow]

@queen drift remember teams have longer breaks between stages

[queen drift]

ahh yeah

[trim shadow]

and i think they goto there home citys to have community events

[queen drift]

how long is it now?

[cloud latch]

[grave ridge]

NY is really 6-0 huh

[night tusk]

ggonak

[south brook]

DAMNN

[trim shadow]

poor ryu

they never won a game against nyxl last year

and probably never will

[balmy wolf]

cough titans couch

[queen drift]

[south brook]

[trim shadow]

hey jjonak you wanna play the atlanta reign

[ruby sable]

[night tusk]

danny is awesome

[balmy wolf]

S P I C E

[spring heath]

clinched

[queen drift]

danny is a bit meh

[mossy bone]

those short and savage responses

[trim shadow]

bumper vs jjonak

[queen drift]

he mistranslates some stuff

[north tendon]

jjonak is a savage that actually backs it up

[queen drift]

hes very assertive with his own commentary

[south brook]

CLINCHED

[north tendon]

why i love him

[trim shadow]

[queen drift]

N ❤ N N ❤

[north tendon]

nenne so amazing

im glad they picked him up

[south brook]

NENNE

[tawny sigil]

6h stream... is thsi really the 4th match?

[ruby sable]

nenne is an absolute maniac

[minor flame]

nyxl won

imagine my shock

[queen drift]

ez clap

[feral igloo]

Call Jehong, he's crying BibleThump

[queen drift]

wouldnt actually surprise me tbhj

[feral igloo]

Oh yeah, they are. Zunba admitted to crying after they lose their spot as top of the league vs nyxl stage 1 day 3 week 3

[queen drift]

man im so happy

being a lw blue fan for so long

[feral igloo]

At least he has Miro there to comfort him though.

[queen drift]

not doing super well in apex

FUCK i love this team

[night tusk]

NYZL so good that teams need to learn from them

NYXL*

[feral igloo]

I feel the same way for Seoul. it sucks to watch my favorite team go from back to back world champions to bottom middle tier team

[night tusk]

well seoul = actually 1 lunatic hai player

they dont play zunba and tobi

[queen drift]

3

[feral igloo]

3

[night tusk]

:rage;

[queen drift]

still have them

[night tusk]

😡

[feral igloo]

They arent dropped lol

They are still there

[queen drift]

likely getting more playtime after this lul

[night tusk]

they are not starters

[grim field]

LETS GO NYXL

[queen drift]

ez

[grim field]

[feral igloo]

They will get to play after these losses. Almost certainly

[night tusk]

actually LW blue starters are also not in NYXL only meko xd

[feral igloo]

Where the fuck is flower

😡

[queen drift]

not worth playing him over nenne right now

meta and injuries

[night tusk]

I agree

[feral igloo]

i hope Vancouver destroys NYXL

[night tusk]

let him have a good debut when he can play dps I guess

[queen drift]

if we ever get a hard sniper meta again i think we'll see flower

id take flower over pine

[feral igloo]

I hope dive becomes meta again but the chances are so low unless they introduce hero bans

[queen drift]

yeah

or kill armour

[feral igloo]

Delete Brigette

Like just fucking delete her

[trim shadow]

or like remove the fuckery that is armor stacking on shields

[queen drift]

i dont mind armour stacking

just the way armour works is dumb

imo

[feral igloo]

Go into the overwatch directory, highlight brigette's file and fuckin erase her from the game.

[night tusk]

well if brig would be deleted. would it make dive meta again? I hope rein will not be trash than but let dps player be able to play dps

[queen drift]

definitely would

[night tusk]

double snipers can be meta some say

[queen drift]

100%

[feral igloo]

Yea it would

[queen drift]

it would be a mix of dive and double sniper i think. double sniper is just meh on some maps

[feral igloo]

even if you introduce hero bans, brigette will get banned and it can be dive or sniper meta

[trim shadow]

whats the point of roles when your faced to play a off tank lol

forced*

[feral igloo]

Why have DPS if both teams have supports and tanks

😡

[queen drift]

why have dps when overwatch

[feral igloo]

I hope jonak loses.

[night tusk]

why why

[queen drift]

why D:

[feral igloo]

I wanna see London or vancouver own them

[lean badge]

Did valiant win today?

[queen drift]

they'll dominate until playoffs

[feral igloo]

cause they cant be immortal forever, eventually they will lose. It's just a matter of time.

people said lunatic hai would win the overwatch league

so i predict NYXL will fall in a similar fashion but not any time soon.

Cant be on top forever.

[uneven wren]

the valiant lost

[night tusk]

I want to see NYXL lose from a better team. But i'm afraid Vancouver is the only one but... NYXL is 8-0 while vancouver 4-0.. 4 more matches not lost

[queen drift]

vancouver is not a better team

[feral igloo]

Yes they are

[queen drift]

they have the potential to be

nahhh.. not even close i think

[night tusk]

I mean 6-0 oops

[south brook]

Oh malik

[feral igloo]

Runaway are korean champions, LW Blue almost never won. I think now that Runaway has a chance, they will show NYXL who is boss.

[queen drift]

So were Lunatic Hai

[feral igloo]

😋

[queen drift]

apex after OWL was very different to apex pre OWL

not apex

contenders

and apex

idk fuck

you know what i mean lol

[feral igloo]

Apex was cancelled after OWL.

[queen drift]

yeah i know

[feral igloo]

There was none. There was a short season 5 but it's contenders now.

[queen drift]

contenders KR is apex in spirit

[feral igloo]

If anything Apex was harder.

yea

After two losses you're out in Apex.

[queen drift]

thats what im saying though

[feral igloo]

oo

[queen drift]

runaway won contenders and one apex i think

i took a break

[feral igloo]

they almost made to finals like twice

They kept losing to lunatic hai, even with tae jun on the roster.

[queen drift]

yeah, who are now getting dicked on by nyxl

[random crow]

i bought the all access pass about a month ago and i still havent received the email that was supposed to be delivered within 14 days

[gloomy tapir]

Lol

[feral igloo]

true

[queen drift]

i dont think previous wins mean anything in ow right now

[gloomy tapir]

Nyxl got rolled?

[queen drift]

no

nyxl won 3-1

[gloomy tapir]

I sleep

[queen drift]

anyway

[gloomy tapir]

[queen drift]

yeah, lunatic hai arent champions in owl

arent even top tier

[night tusk]

https://i.redd.it/6hxjn9q4d0k21.jpg

[queen drift]

i think its clear to see that KR doesnt directly translate to owl

[gloomy tapir]

Lol seul dynasty

[queen drift]

nyxl are dominating, vancouver are amazing and I loved runaway but right now i dont think they're better than nyxl

[gloomy tapir]

I just wanna see the atl matchup against vancouver and nyxl

[queen drift]

Vancouver vs NYXL is definitely the match to be most hyped about

atl will be fun tho

being an atl/xl fan im fokd

[night tusk]

50k dmg colourhex vs 75k dmg ivy lol

[gloomy tapir]

Colourhex lol

Everytime i hear him

[gaunt acorn]

either team could win

[gloomy tapir]

Im reminded of that xqc and dafran clip

[night tusk]

https://twitter.com/gatamchun/status/1102368965064564736

Ana's Tal Mask (@gatamchun)

Seoul acquires Illicit (formerly of BlossoM) and Highly (of O2) https://t.co/lEmOfTV6OS

Twitter

[upper niche]

Which clip?

[gloomy tapir]

Where they roast him about being an OWL player despite 4.2k peak

[queen drift]

yeah either team could definitely win dray but that doesnt mean nyxl are worse than vac

[night tusk]

are they players ?

[feral igloo]

I swear hocury is korean kyky. Another useless pickup

[gloomy tapir]

Even though it isnt his fault

Oce servers have long queue times

[upper niche]

Uhh, they do? I never experience the kind of queue times Jeff and others talk about.

[queen drift]

arent you lower ranked

[feral igloo]

I think people shit on colorhex either out of jealousy or bandwagon approach. he is a 4500 peak player tho so he's definitely qualified

[queen drift]

not bm

[gloomy tapir]

I mean for gm players lol

[queen drift]

queue times are a lot longer for higher ranks

[gloomy tapir]

Its a meme

[upper niche]

Like the recent video he talked about role queue it's like "... uhh... my queue times are rarely anything like that".

[feral igloo]

Just like the Seoul sucks meme.

[gloomy tapir]

I dont think colourhex is bad

[upper niche]

He was talking in general.

[gloomy tapir]

Ok houstons is def justofied tho

[queen drift]

houston 💤

[gloomy tapir]

Thats an even bigger meme

[queen drift]

im happy guxue got some playtime ❤ i couldnt watch the game tho

[gaunt acorn]

i think a damp sock would play better than nosmite

i hope to god they keep running guxue

[queen drift]

did you see about the seoul comms dray

[pastel grove]

guys

[gloomy tapir]

U got a link?

I wanna hear

[pastel grove]

what do we spam to help out valiant

[queen drift]

nah was literally just in the stream

the casters mentioned Fissure and Jesce were arguing about who is shotcalling

[gloomy tapir]

Oof

[queen drift]

dray knows i hate fissure lol

[quasi vector]

put in tobi 4head

not that hard

[gaunt acorn]

it's been clear from week 1 that shotcalling has been all over the place

tug of war between fissure and jecse

[quasi vector]

yea

[gaunt acorn]

so i wasn't surprised

[queen drift]

from a coaching perspective

thats insane

[gaunt acorn]

it's pretty obvious just watching their engages that nobody is really in charge

they've looked confused all season

[feral igloo]

yeah, they need to sit jecse out he's getting in the way of Fissure's shotcalls

And put in Tobi. Also Michelle bombs are ResidentSleeper

put in Zunba

[gloomy tapir]

Just put in tobiiii

4head

[quasi vector]

what did I say

[gaunt acorn]

even in their first match vs gladiators fissure was out of sync with half the team

and the supports were just glued to him

[queen drift]

you said "yea"

(:

[quasi vector]

no, look up 18 rows or so

I said it first

[queen drift]

ik i was making a funny

[quasi vector]

but m8 it wasnt a funny

[queen drift]

m8 ok

[quasi vector]

this should be the lineup:

[feral igloo]

Unless Seoul fires all of their coaches including their head coach hocury and sit out jecse, Seoul will never win against nyxl

[quasi vector]

Jehong, tobi, fissure, zunba, michelle, fleta

[feral igloo]

Yes

Pls

[quasi vector]

yes

[feral igloo]

Zunba has been practicing dps too for those quad dps comps. Zunba is capable of flexing

He’s a good Tracer

[quasi vector]

hannah (spark giveaway) (@rascalmain)

tobi, zunba and fits are alive don’t worry

Twitter

[queen drift]

a lot of peoples does

dafran just streams it

[feral igloo]

I think Michelle would be a better dps..

Than off tank

His dva isn’t up to par with top korean standards

[quasi vector]

if fleta could play brig then were good

[feral igloo]

Maybe in china contenders he popped off but this isn’t China

Zunba zarya would carry Seoul I think. We’ve never seen Zunba zarya go against nyxl

[quasi vector]

tru

[queen drift]

did we not in season 1 ?

[night tusk]

NumbraTV number 1 most donation on OWL. seen him alot in Dafran streams :p

[feral igloo]

Remember when they reworked eichenwald just because Zunba made a play with zarya during 2016 World Cup?

[queen drift]

ya he's a bitcoin guy i think

he donates a LOT to ow streamers

[feral igloo]

Isn’t he top 500 too?

[queen drift]

fuck knows

if he is im not sure i trust its legit lo;.l

[night tusk]

some believe numbra = Zedd

[feral igloo]

Who the fuck is zedd

[queen drift]

ow fan, dj guy

[night tusk]

zedd is a famous dj

who visit OWL some times and is friends with players

[feral igloo]

Famous dj my ass, I’ve never heard of him

Jk

[queen drift]

excuse me

i didnt say famous

id never heard of him either

[night tusk]

I did say famous but someone can be famous and someone could not know him is normal

[feral igloo]

Tru

[queen drift]

ohh u did

[feral igloo]

I was memeing

[queen drift]

i can read

anyway

[night tusk]

my parents wont know who drake is I guess xd

[feral igloo]

My parents know who drake is and they’re 50-60

[queen drift]

if Hangzhou can keep playing Guxue and get that communication down i believe they have a strong playoff run

[feral igloo]

The communication issue is because Guxue doesn’t know korean

[queen drift]

yeah 😦

[feral igloo]

Unless he learns korean fast, they’re gonna struggle

[queen drift]

you can still work on that though

[feral igloo]

But he looks like he can

Yea

I wanna see jonak lose so badly

[queen drift]

arent they like 44-6 now

[night tusk]

I want other teams to be this good

[quasi vector]

something like that

[queen drift]

might be 48-10 including playoffs

finals *

[night tusk]

Nyxl is something like real madrid

[queen drift]

if real madrid were winning

[feral igloo]

Jonak is korean Ronaldo

[queen drift]

👀

[night tusk]

i dont follow soccer to know xd

[feral igloo]

Ronaldo is the most famous soccer player

[night tusk]

i mean to response about if they are winning

[queen drift]

barça are doing better rn

ronaldo is at Juve

[feral igloo]

Rip Brazil

Lost their crown like Seoul did

[night tusk]

fl0w3r plays on a account that named himself as ronaldo

[feral igloo]

@SeoulDynasty has officially recruited two former BlossoM @OW_ILLICIT 'Park Jae-min' DPS and O2 Blast Highly 'Lee Sung-hyeok' Support in the Overwatch L...

Twitter

[minor flame]

said BlossOm

I thought it was Flow3r for a sec

[trim shadow]

Please help me read that

[minor flame]

Seoul has recruited 2 former BlossoM members

ILLICIT and O2 Blast Highly?

[magic birch]

who won

[minor flame]

NYXL

no shock

[magic birch]

ok

[trim shadow]

no shock

Lul

[mossy bone]

[feral igloo]

Blossom is a cool name

for a team

I wonder if someone was watching anime girls and thought "Oh what a nice blossom, ima name my overwatch team blossom"

[upper niche]

So... there's possibility, though the chance of it insanely small, that we could finish stage 1 with 16 our of 20 teams having a 3-4 W/L record 😄

It can't be 17 teams though heh. Even though 17 teams could attain that, the combinations of matches remaining don't allow that to occur, so only 16 teams could have it simultaneously.

[minor flame]

oknvm

theyre recruiting ILLICIT from BlossoM

and Highly from O2

[gloomy tapir]

Zzz

[minor flame]

cool

[trim shadow]

Fuck kind of name is highly lol

Its also possible we could have 2 teams finish stage 1

Winless*

[solar olive]

Oh hey, Toronto won today

[feral igloo]

Im just happy seoul took a map from NYXL

And that we got to see Miro

Good to see that Miro's walkout game is still strong

[upper niche]

so if London and Toronto both have the same W/L record in their remaining games, do we end up with a play-off between the two of them to determine their stage finals seed?

London play Shanghai and Seoul; Toronto play Chengdu and Hangzhou.

Say they go 4-0,3-2 and 3-2,4-0, there's no head-to-head record for these two teams so it'd need to go to a tiebreak.

[solar olive]

Is Excelsior actually that good then?

[upper niche]

In fact: If Philly drop 2 maps over Toronto/London, it gets really weird: Philly beat London, so they win that tiebreak. BUT, they haven't played Toronto. Toronto and London have't played, so they need a tie-break.

So it's completely conceivable right now to have a 3-way tie-break where Philly have already beaten London, and Toronto beat Philly, but Toronto lose to Philly.

Correction: Philly only need to drop one map. Cos 4-0 -> 3-1 becomes +2 from +4

[minor flame]

Excelsior has always been that good

its just a matter of if they take shit seriously or not

[trim shadow]

I doubt philly will make the playoffs tbh

[upper niche]

PHI will finish 4th with a simple highest-place-wins analysis of upcoming games.

LAV and PAR

[trim shadow]

Theyll 4-0 or 3-1 the valiant

But i think paris will make a comeback

Paris has a really tough scheldue to finish

[minor flame]

Paris could improve from last time

[upper niche]

PAR still have 4 games to play. Their form is a bit of an unknown.

[trim shadow]

They definetly got exposed by atlanta

[upper niche]

They're 5-6-1 overall - and 4L of that was vs ATL.

So they were 5-2-1 from the first two games. Hardly stomping through teams.

[trim shadow]

Paris has titan shock justice fusion

Theyll 100% loose to the titans

[minor flame]

other than Justice this is a pretty tough schedule

[trim shadow]

It is possible to loose to the shock

I doubt the justice will upset

And fusion is still shaky

[upper niche]

I have them as L-L-W-L vs VAN, SFS, WAS, PHI

[trim shadow]

I would say the same to be safe

Other teams will be watching that atl vod to see what was the weakness

[upper niche]

I mean, like I said, that's simple, rudimentary analysis of the data only.

[trim shadow]

And it was mostly kruises aggresive lucio as he was first dead most of the games

I think the sparck will get a seed as wel

Theese last two weeks are gonna be insane

Theres about 6-7 teams in the running for a spot

Atlanta new york and vancouver are almost guranteed

As a matter of fact new york clinched

[upper niche]

It's too much.

Teams don't play enough games, and across a good enough cross-section of the league.

[minor flame]

this season is less forgiving for teams now

less time to compose and comeback

[upper niche]

Not only that, but you could get 7 matches against hard teams and end up like LAV.

[trim shadow]

I can safely say boston and shanghai are out of the running

And seoul

[upper niche]

Hell, we have stupid situations like SHD vs DAL twice in one stage.

[minor flame]

Boston and Shanghai are definitely out

Seoul is also out

Spark may have a chance

if they do really well against LAG and

[trim shadow]

Thats probably division based

[minor flame]

I forgot the othero ne

[trim shadow]

Shanghai and dallas are in the same division so its probably for standing

With that fuel will most likely take the last spot

Toronto will get eliminated

Charge are fairly safe

Actually nvm

[upper niche]

To make it in to the stage finals with a 4-3 record you'd need about a +7 record (ie, GZC)

[trim shadow]

Charge have titans shock and eternal

[minor flame]

They have the toughest things

im rooting for Charge but

its pretty iffy

[upper niche]

Huh? GZC have GLA,VAN

[trim shadow]

The titans are on top of the world so i doubt the charge will win that

[minor flame]

Charge might win against GLA

Titans will win most likely

but you never know

Charge is always improving from each match

[trim shadow]

Ooo i went into stage 2 oof

[minor flame]

so I hope they atleast take some maps

[upper niche]

GZC have been the quiet achiever.

[trim shadow]

The charge and reign are both darkhorses

[minor flame]

nah Reign has been getting alot of attention thanks to Dafran

Charge is really just

a surprise

[upper niche]

ATL results have been way better than I expected.

[minor flame]

ATL has been up and down but they definitely are mid-top

Charge is also mid-top

[upper niche]

Their first game though, the Torb... hah!

Who ran Sym on Horizon offence overtime, was that Atl too?

[minor flame]

Most likely

if someone were to beat Titans

NYXL would

but I think Charge has a small chance

based on their improvement rate

[upper niche]

on current form VAN will actually finish higher than NYXL on ladder

But we could also have a tiebreak for 1st place.

Because again, they haven't played head-to-head.

So by the rules, if they both ended up say +15, we'd go to a tiebreak to determine the 1/2 seed.

[minor flame]

NYXL is 18/5/1

6/1*

Titans is 13/4/0

NYXL will most likely win against Shock

though Shock has an actual chance

if they 3-1 Titans will need like 8 map wins

to tie NYXL

oh wait

they have Chengdu too

if they 3-0 each team atleast theyll be ahead of NYXL

[upper niche]

NYXL only have 1 match to play. VAN have 3. So while they need to win all 3, they also have 3 matches to make up a 3 map defecit. Or to be fairer, they have 2 free matches to make up -3 on map score.

CDH have a brutal finish to the season. TOR, VAN, ATL.

[trim shadow]

And theyll get 4-0ed each map

Actually ill@put toronto on upset alert for the chengdu match

[solar olive]

Them winning would be an upset or losing would be?

[upper niche]

Toronto need 3 wins. Anything else is an upset.

Same with Vancouver

[trim shadow]

I would say chengdu could suprise toronto

Look at the opening match vs guangzhou

[gaunt acorn]

chengdu is

[plucky reef]

Are there any plans for an ATL meetup for the home game, this summer?

[gaunt acorn]

there might be some plans in the atlanta discord

i haven't followed too closely

[plucky reef]

Cool, grazie

[trim shadow]

is the atlanta discord private?

[gaunt acorn]

no

discord.gg/atlreign

[trim shadow]

thx

[upper niche]

@trim shadow Chengdu had a strong opening match but after that it's been pretty meh

[trim shadow]

@upper niche i think its just everyone figured them out
its like ok theyre gonna play this amang isnt a good most likely hell be on hammond were gonna punish him for every dive and call it a win

[gaunt acorn]

every (competent) team has them figured out

[trim shadow]

thats why the charge were caught with there pants down

[upper niche]

Yeah. Those competent teams like Shanghai Dragons 😉

[sullen berry]

those really good teams like LA Gladiators 😏

top 6 on paper btw

[upper niche]

I can't find details on when the stage play-offs or played. Even the detailed rules just says "Stages 1, 2 and 3 will each be followed by a seven-match playoff among the eight Teams with the most match wins during the preceding Stage (each a “Stage Playoff”)."

It doesn't say when they'll be.

oh, nevermind. found it.

Goddanm I hate this "re-seed" bullshit. Just call the matches of the first round elimination finals, you numpties 😦

[sullen berry]

I thought it to be quite simple

I did all this math last year

[upper niche]

Serioulsy. 1v8, 4v5, 6v3, 7v2. Loser is eliminated. Remaining finals are played based on the remaining seeded players with the highest seeded playing the lowest seeded in match 1, and the remaining 2 teams in the second match.

[sullen berry]

week 5 will have enough days off to cover all the playoffs in the same week

[upper niche]

It's simple, it's just they describe it in a ridiculously overly-complicated fashion.

[sullen berry]

^

[upper niche]

The way I just described is SO, SO much shorter, concise, and easier to follow - and identical.

[sullen berry]

remove uncertainty by making it vague enough to change it

1st and the worst

4th vs 5th and 6th vs 3rd will be hype if you like that kind of thing

[upper niche]

It's a stupid system anyway because the '2nd' seed might be as low as 8th in reality - because of this stupid 'divisions' crap.

There's a very real chance we could see a tie for first and second, and a three-way tie for a position of around 7th, which is broken by the head-to-head rules because while two of the teams have played h2h, the other two combinations haven't.

[trim shadow]

^ probably why dallas and shanghai are playing twice

[upper niche]

It is, yes - but there is no sense in why they play twice within the same stage.

[hidden vault]

Yeah it is crap

But lucky dallas and shanghai are close

So we might see a revenge from shanghai which is interesting

[idle beacon]

What a bigmouth this midget jjonak is. Bwahahaha

Am i watching vod or did nyxl just play vs dynasty?

[dawn basin]

Replay

I think

[idle beacon]

Ok

Whats wrong with valiant? 😶

NYXL vs SF who will win?

Nyxl

Miro walking out yesterday gave me the hope that he was starting and that it was a last minute secret roster reveal. Maybe one day. F

[nova wadi]

sugarfree is on atl reigns cotenders team :o

[limber pine]

sugarfree can't play until like 2022

[pearl stratus]

@feral igloo Seoul already has enough issues going on with their roster to readd dead weight to it.

@limber pine If you can find the VoD go watch some of the pro pubs from last night, btw.

The comps were hilarious. There was a 5 tank comp.

[limber pine]

wow

running which healer? Baptiste or Moira?

[trim shadow]

pro pugs?

[upper niche]

GOATS is dead. It's all about the GOATAOS meta.

[queen drift]

Does anyone have the VOD of ATL V PAR Hollywood from Masaa’s POV?

[pearl stratus]

@limber pine They were trying it with Baptiste. Defense played Bastion with Baptiste.

Did you know Bastion with Matrix can kill 5 tanks in under 2 seconds?

I didn't know that.

But now I do know that.

[karmic grotto]

With matrix and nano?

[pearl stratus]

No

Just Matrix.

[queen drift]

Ya bunker comps are gonna be insane

[pearl stratus]

It wasn't even a bunker comp.

[queen drift]

I know

I’m saying they will be

[pearl stratus]

There's also enough bunker break now to balance, imo.

Like you can't bunker against a McCree anymore.

His high noon needs barely any charge to bust an Orissa shield and kill people behind it

That was fun to see.

Also Baptiste was kind of 50/50 on useful, even with little to no teamwork.

The drone died so fast.

[limber pine]

yeah you gotta put it behind a pillar or something.

but even incidental damage in my games killed it pretty quickly

[pearl stratus]

None of the pugs I saw ran Sombra last night either.

Which just shuts down the entire hero, with no iframe lag btw.

The second the drone is hacked the buff drops. Instantly.

Destroyed it maintains an iframe or two.

[karmic grotto]

Maybe they used hero bans

[pearl stratus]

They didn't.

They were just mostly messing with heroes with changes.

Sombras only change is that EMP is more visual.

[green stump]

@pearl stratus aurex is having his colligate match

[molten skiff]

is it 4 week stages?

or 5 week stages

[mint flower]

5 week stages

[ruby pendant]

Do you gals/guys know when playoffs will start for stage 1?

[mint flower]

no clue but it could be immediately after week 5 day 4 cuz i think theres a guaranteed 2 week break

[ruby pendant]

k, thanks

[jagged crater]

sounds op in concept, not so op in practice

the immortality drone

good to see players (as usual) overreacted

[trim shadow]

where i can watch the vods of the pro pugs?

[upper niche]

thursday to sunday after stage 5

i looked it up in the rules yesterday

it's rule 5.8 a or b

@ruby pendant ^

[mint flower]

k thx i was wondering too

[ruby pendant]

akashra our savior

[mint flower]

so basically its like a week 6?

[upper niche]

yes

You can find the full document at https://bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net/cms/content_entry_media/bb/BB6C3OEC530B1549590044543.pdf (linked from https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/news/21568602/rules-of-competition-and-code-of-conduct )

[mint flower]

k thx again

[upper niche]

That's more of a guideline, not a rule 😃

[hidden vault]

nyxl has played 6 games while paris has played 3

Shanghai is playing Dallas again next week

Timetable well planned?

[trim shadow]

Paris plays twice over the next 2 weeks

Nyxl has there last game this week for the stage

[woven hill]

6 wins in a row as Zarya

yes, she's fun

only had 1 bad game out of about 15

and that was because a Moira with 44 hours goes Symmetra

[gaunt acorn]

i don't see the relevance to esports

[trim shadow]

So junkrat has 20% more damage on ptr?

Blizzard has gone insane

Gonna see a new cancerous meta soon i betcha

Stage 2 everybody where were gonna see orisa mercy ana junkrat baptiste

[pearl stratus]

No.

You're reading it stupidly.]

He has 20 more damage. Just flat damage 😛

And only on direct impact.

[trim shadow]

You gotta add in splash damage as well

[pearl stratus]

The splash wasn't changed.

So I don't.

[trim shadow]

He can get pocketed by a mercy all game and basically one shot everyone

Jake is gonna like this change

[pearl stratus]

It's a buff to Jake, maybe Erster, and a shield buff break to everyone else.

[trim shadow]

one of zacharees signature heros is junkrat right

so hey dallas might have a top 5 dps line up

[pearl stratus]

It's not going to drastically change Junkrats pick rate except in Bunker.

It only being direct impact makes it unreliable for most players.

Especially with the decreased radius.

[trim shadow]

you got info on the next map rotation? cause junk could probably come out alot of blizz world

[woven hill]

OWL not on today?

[upper niche]

Come back in another 3 days 😛

[woven hill]

well, if i watch all of next OWL stream i'll have

99 tokens...

FUCK

[upper niche]

lol

Does Watchpoint give tokens?

[woven hill]

No

i have 87 now

[upper niche]

unrucky

[woven hill]

and you get 12 each stream

so i'll be 1 off

[upper niche]

oh, it's 3 per hour not per match, so if the matches run long you might be okay

Also, the next stream is only 3 matches not 4.

[mint flower]

yeah they changed the token format

i have 29 tokens rn cuz i bought that lucio emote

[gaunt acorn]

i've gotten like 5 skins already

[mint flower]

i have like 14 cuz i started last season

[gaunt acorn]

i meant this season

[mint flower]

ah

i have like 2 or 3 this season

[gaunt acorn]

i have 54 skins total

well, 55 technically

[mint flower]

damn

[gaunt acorn]

but i haven't purchased one yet

[mint flower]

thats hot

[gaunt acorn]

just deciding what to buy

https://i.imgur.com/zME7Sk6.png

[mint flower]

wut team do you root for?

[gaunt acorn]

take a wild guess

[mint flower]

or no preferred team?

uhhh

nyxl?

[gaunt acorn]

my skin list is right there

[mint flower]

o didnt look at that yet

[gaunt acorn]

lmao

i mean, you were close i guess

although it's not truly reflective of how much i support each team, as philly is my 2nd favourite

i just think nyxl has nicer skins

vancouver is my #1 always and forever

[mint flower]

how did you watch so many games/hours

[gaunt acorn]

it's just at a convenient time for me

although i wish they'd start later on the weekends

[mint flower]

thursdays and fridays run late as hell for me

[gaunt acorn]

plus i've gotten like 9 of the 100-token-drops

as well as the skins from 2018's all-access pass

[mint flower]

i see

[gaunt acorn]

(most of the singular-skin teams are from AAP)

[mint flower]

that toronto genji skin is fire

[gaunt acorn]

yeah, it's pretty nice

i really have no clue what skin to get now

i've purchased nearly every vancouver skin i wanted
