limber pine
#

just having fun with it

jagged crater
#

what other major sport has "stage" playoffs?

#

is this like an OWL thing first

#

feel like stage playoffs dont mean much other than some money

balmy wolf
#

THE FUTURE IS NOW BITCHES

jagged crater
#

is this real life

#

imagine goin from the best team to the worst

balmy wolf
#

πŸ¦€ πŸ¦€ πŸ¦€ πŸ¦€

jagged crater
#

well i guess that ark & wizard teamup was meant to be

balmy wolf
#

my dream has come true

#

now for zunba to join outlaws

#

and i can die happy

pearl stratus
#

Also to be crazy direct.

jagged crater
#

why outlaws

pearl stratus
#

You were never going to play ark again.

#

Ever.

#

Anamo is just Ark but better at everything.

inland pawn
#

just play ameng on hammond

jagged crater
#

wash has 3 main supps now?

#

rip fahz

#

you will be missed

pearl stratus
#

Outlaws need a zen and a leash for Jake. But they also don't need to worry about Goats much anymore, so we'll see how stage 2 goes.

inland pawn
#

jake just needs to stop dying

jagged crater
#

zunba deserves to be on a team where he will get 100% playtime, and not have another really good zarya player on the bench

inland pawn
#

like zacharee

pearl stratus
#

Stage 2 is set to be wild because all the power rankings will be all fucky again.

#

Fusion will probably go back to being not shit.

#

Some of the current teams will go to being shit.

jagged crater
#

nyxl will still be good?? :):)

pearl stratus
#

It'll be fun.

jagged crater
#

pine and sbb back

pearl stratus
#

They'll be fine, they're honestly fine now. They're beatable, but no one who could have beat them played them properly.

#

Pine won't be back.

inland pawn
#

u make it sound like other teams cant play anything but goats

pearl stratus
#

SBB might be back.

jagged crater
#

depends on the next meta i guess

#

if it's flavoring towards more dps

pearl stratus
#

Unless the meta is "Only McCree" Pine is useless.

#

They have equivalent widows with larger flex pools.

limber pine
#

I want a protect the McCree meta

#

that'd be a lot of fun

pearl stratus
#

As long as they keep calling it the Protect the President Comp.

jagged crater
#

think less about hero pool, more about hero pool for specific maps

#

which is what pine was used for

pearl stratus
#

The game, imo, doesn't play the same as Dive where there was one variant.

#

Since then we've been getting multiple comp rotations.

#

No reason to think that'd stop.

#

Also its more like we've already seen flaws in some teams DPS rosters just trying to work it into rotation now.

#

I.E. Atlanta attempts at DPS comps rarely goes well.

#

And the Orissa comp on Anubis wasn't anything new.

balmy wolf
#

@jagged crater for the meme

jagged crater
#

where will spree go

#

dont say trashcan!

pearl stratus
#

Houston would only be getting a picture of Zunba anyway.

#

It's all they can afford.

#

Since its pretty obvious they're not spending money until after their sale.

#

So he could be a nice vinyl acrylic on the wall.

jagged crater
#

remember zunba had a dedicated poster in the korean subways

worn falcon
#

Ark wasnt expecting the trade

limber pine
#

wasn't it rumored that ark would be traded a long time ago

pearl stratus
#

It was, with Janus.

#

Basically one Anamo got put into the main roster and Ark got dumped to bench it became a rumor because he wasn't happy being a bench.

#

Maybe it was a bet.

#

Pavane was like "Okay listen here Wizard Fuckboi. If you even win a single match in Stage 1 you can have Ark."

limber pine
#

lul

worn falcon
#

wew

pearl stratus
#

Welcome to sports, Lad.

limber pine
#

i mean, they can be sudden since everybody's in the same city

#

but yeah, sports does generally have sudden trades

trim shadow
#

Ark is main support right

pearl stratus
#

At least Ark got neat art.

trim shadow
#

Thatll be good cause washington is fairly weak at main support

pearl stratus
#

With his giant Mercy Mech.

#

As a community though we should continue my lie.

trim shadow
#

widowlol washington on the up

limber pine
#

cuz it's hard for them to go any further down

pearl stratus
#

That it was a bet - and Pavane bet Wizard he was so overrated they wouldn't win a single match and put Ark on the line.

trim shadow
#

Alot of teams will be exposed when it comes to a dps meta

#

Aka stage 2

pearl stratus
#

I mean your favorite team is looking to be one of them.

trim shadow
#

Im looking at you houston and boston

pearl stratus
#

They play all their dps comps like some open division shits.

trim shadow
#

If it does become dps syntretic honestly dafran might no get much play time

pearl stratus
#

Pick up a Widow you can't even play, so you flex your best dps to cover it.

#

Fucking rip.

trim shadow
#

Unless nlaeer is bottling it in scrim

pearl stratus
#

From what we've seen of Nlaeer it doesn;t look to matter either way.

trim shadow
#

Watch nlaeer get traded for someone like link

pearl stratus
#

Unless there's vast improvement he does not have an OWL widow.

#

Consider Houston roster locked.

jagged crater
#

if tracer or soldier is anywhere in the next meta, dafran will see playtime

pearl stratus
#

The major shareholder for that group is looking to be bought out.

#

Houston won't spend any money for the forseeable future.

trim shadow
#

Endo and the other are prediciting bunker

#

Atlanta could be a good bunker team

pearl stratus
#

Bunker will pop up.

trim shadow
#

Since dafran played alot of bastion

pearl stratus
#

I don't think it'll be the primary.

trim shadow
#

And add in baptiste

pearl stratus
#

But it'll show up on quite a few maps.

trim shadow
#

If it shows up it will be on 2cp maps and hybrids

pearl stratus
#

The big thing is how a professional group shatters the bunker.

#

Because you've got more options now than ever before.

next spindle
#

hey guys look what i find! (and yes my english is very good becouse i'm russian)
https://discord.gg/

pearl stratus
#

McCree alone if you can't pressure him will destroy the bunker comp and four people behind it.

trim shadow
#

Im excited to see pine play

#

If pine doest get play time nyxl well give you nlaeer or erster widowlol

pearl stratus
#

I think you'll see Pine if McCree becomes the more standard bunker breaker with the new high noon.

#

If he doesn't, Libero + SBB and Libero + Nenne to be the primary line ups.

trim shadow
#

Sad pine is in that position

#

But its better then being a dps for san fransicso

trim shadow
#

Were suppose to have 3 7-0 teams

limber pine
#

Dallas may have been the one loss

#

but yeah Philly could have been 7-0

trim shadow
#

couldve been dallas atlanta or london

#

so what it tells me is that philly depends too much on boombox

balmy wolf
#

Ark joined washington pogchimp

#

Idk is ark his lucio is as good as his mercy but by far a upgrade over their current main support

trim shadow
#

ark already has synergy with janus right

karmic grotto
#

seriously?

#

ARK JOINED WASH

#

finally a good support for wash

limber pine
#

Gido isn't bad

#

minimally, he's not the issue with DC

trim shadow
#

gido is just underperforming

#

and washington needs veteran leadership and janus looks like he isnt giving it

limber pine
#

correct

jagged crater
#

gido is calling?

#

fahz can maybe flex supp

#

he was zen/ana player for previous teams

balmy wolf
#

fahzix is an amazing zen

#

but (this is 100% personal opinion) i dont know if he can zen with owl zens

subtle pumice
queen drift
#

Ark noo

mint flower
#

ark just fucked his career

trim shadow
#

nah

#

ark will help washington get to at least middle of the pack

mint flower
#

i dont think ark can single handedly turn this team around...

#

even if justice didn't play hard teams for like all of stage 1 (with the exception of mayhem), this team would still be trash

#

and janus has been a huge disappointment to me

trim shadow
#

there stage 2 is easier then there stage 1

#

toronto chengdu new york atlanta boston

#

shanghai

#

valiant

queen drift
#

ark can

#

hes big brain

mint flower
#

I don't really consider any games "easy" unless it's against mayhem

#

That teams such a fucking joke

queen drift
#

There are definitely easy games in the league, for justice specifically I’d say every game is hard

#

But what he said is easier

#

Which is fair, Washington have had a rough schedule

#

Either way if Washington keep picking up NYXL players I’m gonna have to support them both 😭

#

My LW bois splitting up

#

What was the originally leaked justice squad? Ark Wizard and Janus were definitely a part of it

trim shadow
#

wizard is probably trying his best to get nyxl players and academy players lol

#

and maybe budget koreans to turn em into all stars

gaunt acorn
#

he was already planning on bringing ark with him before the season started

#

the budget just ran out

trim shadow
#

waste of time

balmy wolf
#

Goats

hidden osprey
#

Non-broadcast? wut

balmy wolf
#

its time boys

#

Open Division roster locked

#

omw to contenders trials

jagged crater
#

Waste of bullets boy

boreal bronze
#

Dr phill is an Atlanta reign fan?

gaunt acorn
#

that's a photoshop

boreal bronze
#

O

#

Looks convincing

#

πŸ™„

hidden vault
#

I think Janus has been trying his best to carry the team

#

He is likely the best player in the roster

#

Ark will definitely boost the team, would help them to win a few more map definitely

#

Do you guys for see any of the 5 dps from nyxl going justice?

night tusk
#

Monte with bigg00se and Fusions in Oversight

gaunt acorn
#

janus really hasn't looked that great

hidden vault
#

I guess

#

Do we have some main tank stats?

night tusk
hidden vault
#

@balmy wolf why do you want zunba to join outlaws lol

#

And isn't ark better then amano in terms of mercy and ana?

night tusk
#

he is a better lucio for sure

#

anamo

#

I think he is better in general, but happy to see ark in justice

#

oops

supple prism
#

so i dont watch normal sports, how do they normally solve these types of ties?

night tusk
#

well in soccer you have something like penalty's right ?

trim shadow
#

i lowkey want custa to atlanta

#

but then again

#

masaa is on the same level...

#

and custa probably wont go cheaply

night tusk
#

custa does not fit in ATL, lol

#

let Val just fix their problems

trim shadow
#

packing10 is the interm coach and i cant forsee things going up lol

#

and with a meta shift i dont think the valiant will develop there own style

night tusk
#

they hired someone today and making teams worse is not fun

trim shadow
#

who they hired?

night tusk
#

idk

trim shadow
#

i still dont believe in the valiant lol

night tusk
#

watch on r/cow

trim shadow
#

theyll get a win next stage

#

but not a stageplayoffs

night tusk
#

well people said the same about team UK in OWWC

#

or that boston will fail this stage

trim shadow
#

boston crawled there way into the 8th spot

#

it wasnt suppose to happen lol

#

fusion was hard carrying

night tusk
#

this was said before fusion was even signed, so that they had to deal with this quick change

supple prism
#

I think its more of boston having a bad start

night tusk
#

idk his name but was banned aswell, than had to get used to stage

#

colourhex

supple prism
#

and the whole main tank thing

trim shadow
#

boston snuck a win off seoul

#

and barely beat dallas lol

night tusk
#

like dallas is bad ? lol

supple prism
#

but they gave NYXL issues

trim shadow
#

tru enough but that was week 1 and everyone from the first season of owl was shaking off rust

#

and nyxl hit there stride the next week

night tusk
#

valiant and DC had a hard schedule, DC is fixing their problems I guess with ark and Valiant with firing moon.

#

we see what will happen in stage 2

supple prism
#

Boston is just putting too much into Goats while still sorting stuff out.

trim shadow
#

already predicting stage 2 to be the pinnacle of overwatch leauge

night tusk
#

I did not expect gladiators being scary in the end of the stage aswell

trim shadow
#

since everyone played one main comp most of the stage

#

but no one really proved there skill in unique situations

#

espect nyxl

night tusk
#

I am worried for Paris lol, their team is designed for goats, and they suck at it

supple prism
#

hunters

trim shadow
#

its like paris caught london with their pants down

supple prism
#

and i still have no idea what is gonna happen with titans, have they ever tried anything else at all?

trim shadow
#

and then atlanta came into their house and raided there fridge

#

and they have never recovered

night tusk
#

yes titans played dive against charge lol

trim shadow
#

@supple prism they tried to run dps against guangzhou when guangzhou ran dps and got rolled on the first map

night tusk
#

but when ATL played junkrat orisa on anubis, paris forgat how to play dive lol

trim shadow
#

and then went into goats and dominated

#

vancouver will still be top 5 next stage

#

but there dominance will falter a little

supple prism
#

this is not what i expected biggooses voice to sound like

night tusk
#

lol

supple prism
#

thought it would be deeper

#

fusions is about right

night tusk
#

monte give some shots to him lol

#

roasting their tanks

trim shadow
#

in terms of like teams that will do well in a dps meta

#

definetly nyxl and san fran

night tusk
#

idk how fast we will even have a new meta

trim shadow
#

im predicting every team will play a different style of overwatch

night tusk
#

Bapiste is not confirmed to be in OWL if i'm right

trim shadow
#

chengdu will stick to clown fiesta

supple prism
#

stage 3

trim shadow
#

and some other teams will try bunker

#

some teams will try dice

#

dive*

#

thats my hope

night tusk
#

stage 2 *

supple prism
#

feel like hunters will only get worse if anyone goes bunker against them

night tusk
#

I think hunters does amazing

#

watching their comp attempt vs charge on the titans

#

their win on ATL well deserved

trim shadow
#

im predicting chengdu for stage 2 playoffs

night tusk
#

there still 2 players in visa hell

trim shadow
#

im absolutely terrified of them

#

and the thing is

supple prism
#

hunters does do well but i cant imagine they will be able to dislodge a bunker comp quick enough

trim shadow
#

everyone put them at 20th

night tusk
#

you think the bunker comp is meta?

trim shadow
#

because they are mostly built out of old ow veterans from contenders

#

like baconjack

#

and then they got wins

night tusk
#

I know ameng is not playing winston but he played some orisa

#

elsa on torb

#

ugh fusions saying nixel

supple prism
#

im saying if bunker becomes more used

night tusk
#

we have to wait and see πŸ˜›

obtuse zodiac
#

Play dive

night tusk
#

what was the name of boston coach again ?

supple prism
#

new or old?

night tusk
#

huk ?

#

new ?

supple prism
#

well they had Crusty

night tusk
#

ahh ye

#

I was thinking huk was the head coach

supple prism
#

who left after bostons perfect stage

night tusk
#

I know they added the one from valiant aswell

#

gumba

supple prism
#
night tusk
#

on boston you see 3 ass coach

#

on justice you see just "coach"

tulip ridge
#

So Boston is trying to play Goats?

night tusk
#

biggoose just says it was not a team plan..

#

what monte said sounds smart lol

tulip ridge
#

I see

#

Honestly though I'm looking forward to the playoffs because of Titans

#

@night tusk what do you think will happen if the Titans went against the Excelsior

night tusk
#

NYXL looks so clean

#

can see them win

tulip ridge
#

did you see the match from titans against charge yesterday?

night tusk
#

yes

tulip ridge
#

I feel like the Titans were performing goats a lot cleaner compared to the hunters match

#

or maybe it's just me

night tusk
#

NYXL 3-2 with valiant I believe, but their match against seoul and I believe they had another one

#

hunters is alot better than what charge tried to do

#

but jjanu > meko

tulip ridge
#

JJanu is great at D.VA

night tusk
#

but still.. NYXL know so much in this meta I believe

#

they lost 1 player, just falls back and full hold almost

#

they actually did I believe

#

ye

tulip ridge
#

Titans played Goats in the Contenders I believe

night tusk
#

yes

#

but the staff of NYXL proves to be insane

#

I can see it to be a close game and wont be suprised to see titans win it

#

but who knows

#

maybe seoul suddenly wins from NYXL lol

tulip ridge
#

Yeah anything can happen this season, lot's of weird matches like Spitfire losing to Dragons

night tusk
#

well since OWWC uk winning from usa

#

I can see anything happen lol

tulip ridge
#

Lesson from OWWC: Never get cocky and teabagg

night tusk
#

who can you see win OWL stage 1 if it's not NYXL or titans ?

supple prism
#

shock?

night tusk
#

if shock lose to dynasty off stream match

#

they have to play NYXL

#

wonder if NYXL have a chance to face titans in finals or before

#

I am a seoul fan but if its not nyxl or titans I can see defiant taking it

tulip ridge
#

I've heard that the Defiant are getting good and impressing people

night tusk
#

3th right now so ye

tulip ridge
#

Isn't Boston going against Titans?

night tusk
#

yes

supple prism
#

dont know if anything is set in stone

night tusk
#

yes this one is sure

tulip ridge
#

No way titans can lose to boston

night tusk
#

well I expected hunters to lose 4-0 from titans xd

tulip ridge
#

yeah as a vancouver fan I thought that too

#

but I was suprised how they barely won

night tusk
#

also some teams are better in stage matches than playoff matches. maybe have to do with mentallity, if they lose this match their done so it can happen

tulip ridge
#

I was suprised how Charge 3-2 titans in their first game butget demolished yesterday

night tusk
#

they tried to be hunters

#

you know there is a polish player in OWL

tulip ridge
#

Oh

#

Who?

night tusk
#

!paris players

#

!paris player

#

lol

#

Danye

tulip ridge
#

!paris roster

night tusk
#

I know Danye because of OWWC, poland did not great but this player did shine

#

but no playtime yet

#

lol

tulip ridge
#

Speaking of OWWC

#

didn't China make it to the finals only to get clapped by Korea?

night tusk
#

they did great imo

tulip ridge
#

True that they made some big plays

night tusk
#

they came with the winston goats

#

so team canade copy that since they did not know how to counter it against uk

#

leave from pubg to super star player

tulip ridge
#

Winston goats is just Winston instead of the Rien?

night tusk
#

ye

balmy wolf
#

@hidden vault just a meme t h

tulip ridge
#

Who do you think will win between Defiant and Reign?

night tusk
#

defiant

trim shadow
#

reign

night tusk
#

their zarya, envy and neko looks scary

trim shadow
#

theyll use the footage from there first match

#

they know how to beat the defiant

#

weve seen how rematches have faired so far

#

dallas 3-2 shanghai dallas 4-0 shanghai

tulip ridge
#

Titans 4-0 Charge

#

although the hunters showed Titans main weakness

night tusk
#

team uk - usa, usa won to uk won

#

also gladiators did show ATL weakness

tulip ridge
#

What was it?

#

Didn't see the match between them

night tusk
#

4-0 for glads ?

tulip ridge
#

well I was asking about the weakness

night tusk
#

i'm watching oversight now

#

they talked about it

#

that

#

pokpo have best dmg or something like that with estern on brig, dafran not huge dmg but final blows

#

so if pokpo is not allowed to do dmg (get discord every second) than they cant play their game

#

biggoose is in the podcast from la gladiators

trim shadow
#

yes atlanta got exposed

#

but they slowly cleaned it up

#

it took chengdu unfortunately but it got cleaned up

night tusk
#

from who did ATL won from besides defiant houston and mayhem ?

#

oh ye paris

#

besides defiant

#

the other teams are not that great..

trim shadow
#

those 4

night tusk
#

can you see ATL win from fusion

trim shadow
#

potentially

#

as a atlanta native im saying finales

i cant tell whether to be happy or sad that arks in justice

night tusk

anamo is pog so ark would not play

trim shadow
#

happy

night tusk
#

rather have bad team go better than have a player like ark on the bench

trim shadow
#

ark is what the justice needs

night tusk
#

and ark is with wizard and janus, not strangers

trim shadow
#

ark and janus probably have great chemistry

hidden vault
#

I wonder if another nyxl bencher would get into justice

#

Say one of the dps? They have 5 now

trim shadow
#

gonna say something that will piss this chat off

#

it will probably be pine

#

or libero

mint flower
#

That would make me cry

#

I hate justices organization, don't really know why but I do

trim shadow
#

but at least corey will have someone to learn from

mint flower
#

Coreys alright

#

Dreamkazpers son

trim shadow
#

you hate justice when orgs like the mayhem and the outlaws are running around widowlol

mint flower
#

outlaws org is something I can deal with to a degree, mayhem is definitely my most hated

#

i know a lot of people hate outlaws, but I don't really have a problem with them

#

The only thing I care about related to outlaws is Jake

balmy wolf
#

fuck outlaws

mint flower
#

lmao

balmy wolf
#

on a serious note, outlaws org has some shady shit

#

GGEA has been in controversy for good reason

#

not the owl but the contenders org

mint flower
#

arent they kicked

#

from contenders

balmy wolf
#

are they? i havent heard that

#

ive honestly been out of loop for a while so probably

trim shadow
#

do you even know what the managers and the front office did to season 1 mayhem

mint flower
#

Liquipedia says they're the former academy team of the outlaws

#

Mayhems management is a clusterfuck

trim shadow
#

widowlol i dont know why the owl desk said houston is one of the more liked teams

mint flower
#

actually mentally retarded

#

probs cuz all the screaming girls

trim shadow
#
  1. mayhem
  2. houston
  3. boston
#

most hated teams cause of the org

#

and front office

mint flower
#

o yeah bostons a shitshow as well

#

huks a real dick, isnt he?

trim shadow
#

sideshow says most of the players are paid minimum owl salary

#

his reasoning

#

because huk goes out and scouts unkowns and budget koreans

#

and somehow turns them into playoff conteders

mint flower
#

yeah wtf is the coaching in there

trim shadow
#

that some smelly ass shit there

mint flower
#

i swear they're going to make colourhex look as good as some top koreans

trim shadow
#

traded gamsu who carried...dropped striker because of the relationship him and huk had

#

dreamkazper

#

etc

mint flower
#

yep

trim shadow
#

the only thing that looks good on boston is the fact robert kraft owns em

mint flower
#

Thats the one thing I love about Boston

#

gave SHD gamsu

trim shadow
#

widowlol and in the end he came back to upset them

mint flower
#

who? Kraft?

pearl stratus
#

I mean no one really cares about the $500 fine that Kraft is going to get hit for.

#

He's just famous so they're making it public.

mint flower
#

o the prostitution incident?

#

Bostons an odd team aren't they?

pearl stratus
#

Not especially.]

#

Issues with Koreans aren't new.

#

Dallas had them (Rascal), LAV is having them now, Florida is having them now.

#

Neko, especially, has spent most of his career being a piece of shit for the most part.

#

Oh LAG had them with Fissure, because he wanted an all Korean Roster again.

#

And on the scale of owners doing stupid shit, this is pretty small imo.

trim shadow
#

its more of a culture war when koreans are on mixed rosters

#

and if a all korean team aka hangzhou starts loosing

#

its due to coaching or player mistake

#

it was shanghais issue last year cause they had all 3

#

bad coaching player mistakes outside issues

#

bad front office bad management and the big COMMUNICATION

#

trying to blend chineese and korean

pearl stratus
#

problem with mayhem justice and boston is that its rumoured they save to much money

but boston is winning so zaryalul

actually smart from Huk, sign unknown players, make them super star, sell them for big money and do it again

i thought justice went over budget since they used it for coaches @night tusk

and it is smart by huk cause striker went for alot of money

a reminder that most chinese teams do have majority koreans in their roster

the league has automatic time adjustments now for match schedules

boston is a shit team which doesnt deserve playoffs

some teams have been on a break for at least 3 weeks

supple prism
#

The other tiebreaker for 3rd place between Toronto Defiant and Philadelphia Fusion was agreed to be decided by a coin toss. This appears to be the logical conclusion of both teams wanting to dodge the Shock in their first round in the playoffs. If the Shock were to win their tiebreaker against the Dynasty, the Defiant and the Fusion would both have an incentive to lose as they too deem the Shock to be the stronger of the two opponents.

#

ha

#

so fusion won by losing

#

when the rest of the teams know who 1st and 2nd is so they are just competing for 3rd and 4th for $50k.

this is like some

as a shock fan it's funny bc everyone is avoiding them at all costs

its possible shock could go undefeated next stage with nyxl and titans

with nyxl having a joke of an easy stage 2

why

did they want to play nyxl so badly

pearl stratus
#

Psychologically it makes sense.

#

You're most likely going to be playing them anyway.

#

So you can play them fresh, first opponent and potentially set pace for the rest of the playoffs

#

Or you play them later, somewhat tired

#

Also NYXL being the first match means you can focus strats and not have to worry about winning the spot to get to play them.

Thats cute they think they can beat xl

Can someone explain wut the hell happened with the whole coin toss thing?

#

I'm confused af

earnest canopy
#

Toronto and philly were tied for 3rd seed, so they mutally agreed to flip a coin to determine who got 3rd seed

mint flower
#

And who won?

earnest canopy
#

Toronto won the toss, so they took the 3rd place seed

#

Philly takes the 4th place, because they lost the toss

#

Hence why the faceoffs are now:
(1st seed) VAN vs. (8th seed) BOS
(2nd seed) NY vs. (7th seed) SEO
(3rd seed) TOR vs. (6th seed) SF
(4th seed) PHL vs. (5th seed) ATL

and I assume there was supposed to be a coin toss for the san fran and seoul

Nope, they agreed to play a match

#

3-0

4pm PDT was the coin toss

They streamed it live on the OWL instagram account

earnest canopy
#

Yea, not sure why tbh

#

Uber did say that he and Mr X did cast the match, so if the footage does get released, there will be good commentary.

mint flower
#

@earnest canopy Was this match first to 3 wins or was there a tie map?

earnest canopy
#

Honestly I couldn't tell you lad, I'm not sure. I'd say it'd be the first to three though. They did play Busan, then each map after that was "Loser chooses"

tawny sigil
#

so they let the team decide if it was a fight or coin toss?

gaunt acorn
#

yes

earnest canopy
#

@tawny sigil Yep, The coin toss makes sense, as the winner of that has to play Shock or Dynasty. Prevents soft throwing to get Atlanta, who is quite strong, but not stronger than Seoul or San Fran. (debatable)

gaunt acorn
#

seoul chose a coin toss, but shock declined

earnest canopy
#

^

tawny sigil
#

whats the point to ask seoul if shock decides in the end

earnest canopy
#

To quote the vpesports article: "San Francisco Shock turned Dynasty’s offer to toss a coin down and asked to play the series out as the rules indicate instead. As the loser of the coin flip would face the undefeated New York Excelsior in the first round of the playoff bracket instead of the winner of the Defiant-Fusion tiebreaker, the actions by both teams imply that the Shock saw their chances to win against the Dynasty in a tiebreaker favorably, while the South Korean team were less confident in their own ability to win"

#

Both teams have to agree on a coinflip for it to go ahead

tawny sigil
#

ok

hidden vault
#

Isn't it better if the winner gets to play Atlanta instead?

But damn I think Tor vs Atl would be fun

earnest canopy
#

@hidden vault San fran are much more confident facing off against Seoul and Atlantas than they are against NYXL, and to be fair, I don't blame them.

#

Will be interesting to see if we get one stable comp run through stage 2, or multiple strats that can benefit each teams ideal playstyle. Goats will still be an option I think, but teams like Chengdu and Guanzhou will have greater room to flex their creative muscles.

Has there been word of when the latest patch will be filtered through to OWL?
