I doubt they'll make it to the grand finals
Not all of them, I feel like.
OW and WoW are similar in the fact that just...
A lot of people, famous included, just play the shit.
Or like Levar Burton.
lmao choking roots
Or they just like it.
Shroud has said multiple times if he wasn't so famous he would spend most of his stream playing MMO's.
But its an economically bad decision for his popularity.
He's not going to get 90k subs playing WoW even though its his favorite game just behind CSGO.
Doesn't shroud play apex or something?
He plays mostly BR's and FPS because its whats popular.
it sucks when you want to play a certain type of game and you cant
Not necessarily what he really loves.
He still likes them, don't get me wrong.
But you can't really build a stream audience off MMO's.
I hate BRs
So if you're a popular streamer, you don't play it.
I mean I don't love BR's.
But if it meant 90k subs I'd play BR's.
I dont understand how people enjoy it
At that point you're at the 75% income tier for subscriptions.
Which means Shroud makes around 350k a month just on his subs.
So...
Apex Legends it is.
That's just smart business π
Depends on if you're trying to make a living off it or not
i like apex i just dont play it that much
or at least make a good amount of income
apex ResidentSleeper
^^^
For me its all about friends.
I think OW is an amazing game, since I play with friends (not solo).
I like Apex with friends.
yeah same apex with friends is fun, but i enjoy overwatch for more robust reasons
gaming solo is boring af
Right now its Division II though.
Because Diablo with guns is more my style.
But anyway.
Back on topic - celebrities are normal people.
They just like playing games.
lmao
And OW was super popular, so it makes sense they'd play it too and get hyped on it.
i love when my feedbag team hard throws and gets 4 pieced by a mccree ult then blames me for loss
Look at Terry Crews. He offered to voice act for Blizzard because he likes the game and games with his son.
I still wish he was the voice for Doom
I remember prior to him passing away Robin Williams did an interview all about his Mage.
From WoW.
I get why Blizzard said no.
He's a busy guy, and if they need voice lines they probably didn't want to deal with his schedule.
Just look at like this
U own a resturant
And u take a survey on what the community likes
You respond to what the community likes and you profit
And when the community shifts you have to act or youll loose value and stock will drops
thats why gaming comapanies are aggresively pursuing br games
Owl is popular beauses its city based esports
Ppl can get behind it and support it easily
Thats why csgo esports has fallen since like 2013-2015 the pinnacle
People stop carrying about astralis or Navi cause it bears no meaning personally
Worth watching the Seoul vs NYXL game from last night?
wdym worth ?
it was an exciting match but not the best team vs team play imo
fun upset with lots of history
Apperantly today is internethulks birthday

@spring heath thanks!
you think the expansion teams would be defined by now lmao
the bot is not actively being managed
not even some icons?
correct
the bot's fuctions may be moved to a bot handled by admins, but it's a low priority
Never got a response months ago, I'd only use it for teams which is still somewhat relevant
!players justice
i think im gonna have to lower Boston since they clearly dont want to be stable if they want to keep switching things around
imagine talking about trading one of your only good players
from the looks of it, boston might do bad next stage regardless
Stage 2 Mistakes now Stage 2 KSF
Boston better make sure they turn him into a souped up streaky player
People need to realize its a 900IQ for Boston if thats all it is.
Fusions is useless.
What are the logical chances that a Rein meta remains?
And Fusions Winston/Orissa/Ball are all pretty mediocre.
Boston wins out on the overall trade by leaps and bounds.
It's why I think there's a lot more to the trade, because LAV is getting shafted hard.
In fact I argue that if LAV gets Fusions he might get benched.
And they could consider transitioning Kuki back to MT.
(BTW all sources say there's a lot more to the trade)
Better bad than bench.
well it ain't that bad
teaming up with his old coach
and nyxl failed again, anyway
dc is budget nyxl
why is fusions leaving boston again?
rumors
Yeah I'd rather be 1-6 and a mockery of the league than 7-0 losing in stage playoffs.
nothing confirmed
well endoken .. ark seems to be a nice guy .. not like jjonak and his dumbass trashtalk .. maybe ark got fedup with the dumbass aditude
He actually wanted to play.
doesn't justice have another ex nyxl player?
He was only going to play on NYXL if Anamo fell down the stairs.
They have Janus.
Who is a straight 2/10 tank.
ark is capable of playing more than mercy, right?
He is, just worse than Anamo.
On every hero.
I get it, I wouldn't want to be benched either.
i've never payed attention about anamo
But so far Washington is just kind of a laughing stock.
Because its how they lose.
Washington has gone two FULL maps without a single kill before.
Literally two full maps.
i've only watched one justice game so far.. the one in which ado had his first victory
Washington also gave Shock two of the fastest map times in the league, in the same series.
Valiant lose because there's internal issues, Washington just loses because they're bad - more or less. I don't know if it makes sense if you haven't seen the games though.
It's like asking a blind kid to describe an apple to me.
He'll be able to tell me its roundish, but thats about it.
yea watching the games will tell me about valiants internal issues
lol
π
anywa
atlanta and phili tonite
π¦
i wanted to see them in finals, not now
@pearl stratus whats your prediction
my money is on atlanta 3-1 3-2 maybe
which is a shame because i prefer philly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiA94kNM-D8&app=desktop these just get better
"Not a Playoff Team," BTW. Just remember what happened the last time you wrote us off. - - - - Follow us on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.co...
MAH BOYZ.... you know em, you love em... the dynasties
phl 3-2 atl
man i hope
NYXL not only were a powerhouse team (last year and) this whole stage, many analysts predicted them not only to go to the Grandfinals, but in fact BEAT Vanco...
? o
grav at sombra
???????
didnt you watch the video you linked
i know but on stream we didn't see that
just saw a grav being done offscreen at a wall
without having all access pass you would never see that
im not really sure what you're trying to say
we didn't know if it was a fat finger or not
? it wasnt
i know
good point
but
why is your immediate reaction to think im saying something in particular about the video
you didn't say anything
im still watching
first thing mentionned in the video is that
o you're like
watching and typing
at same time
lmao
that's funny haha
do you think nenne fat fingered
nobody choose to fat finger
ok
i dont know why nenne would be less likely the fat finger than any other player
bro u sound like a bot
why do you sound offended by me making remarks on what happened
At work so I canβt watch the video
But it did look to me like he was after Michelle
Just didnβt work out
agree~
Sometimes you make high risk plays that fail... pros have a higher success rate but can still fail
yeah like im not mad it was just one high risk miscalculation
but ultimately it costed them
not too sure if what the caster were saying was true
if jjonak was making bad decision constantly
yeah i think jjonak was just trying to aoe heal and ended up using ults early
still think ryu outplayed him tho
Do you guys think the rumor will be true and fusions will be traded for ksf and fate
Nope
apparently it is not a rumor
if its not a rumor, you must have some evidence to say so, else it is a rumor
wel there is this guy https://twitter.com/thibbledork/status/1109147755597819905 and even https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/b41his/rumors_aimgod_said_something_is_going_on_inside/
I'm being told that theres more to this deal - a lot more. This might be one of the most intricate trade scenarios OWL has ever seen... I'll report more if I find that its safe to do so. Stay tuned. https://t.co/Sr6bhgXAeP

??
you didn't see that?
wut
hey whats up
God this music is so bad
they should hire skrillex for bit
no
eww
do u want that newly famous beat boxer guy?

probably too busy preparing to screw up nickelodeon
be a shame if dafran tripped and broke his leg and couldn't play tonight
cant he just sit down and play?
wrist*
id mentally snap it back in place with the focus of every fan
let's go dude


no
yes
me me

likewize
bye fusion
they may not wanna admit it, but when boombox wasn't in they didn't look good
yeah they struggled without boombox
baiii
i cant lie

dogman isnt the best zen
Poko my fave dva
lmao dogman isnt even close
but im still rooting for atlanta
LET'S GO BOIS #PDOMJNATE 
erster

omg
pokpo vs poko
GOATS ResidentSleeper
heh heh
Overrated
in reverse
oof
reign feeding
what's wrong, pokpo?
yes, philly just killing
pokpo man
TEAM KILL

should have had erster come in with a pharah or something
NOT ONE KILL
wait for the 99% reverse
dogman zen popped off
gator>>pokpo tbh
sado
of course sado
@forest wharf gator started goats lmao
only reason why you would pick pokpo over gator is because of the synergy between daco
weird
quad tank?
Poor dogman
feed feed feed
quad tank lmao
LET'S GO
good job philly
ez
they went hammond to touch plat chat
they could have won it faster though
DVa ult Nenne'd
sado winston hype
tHeY cOuLd HaVe WoN iT FaStEr
torb
madlad
they had a huge ult advantage
sado?
warming up i guess
he cant dive that i think
he can't dive the brig
the stun and the torb with dogman discord is alot
sado winston omegalul
OOF
big oof
lmao
Nice hold
ouch
we got this
lol I love dafran torb
now its gonna be carpe on ruins tho
Why do pro players melee air
carpe not the best zar, it would have been really good to run widow there
Dafrans back must hurt so much after games lol
i was thinking that too
mm not running widow rip
down
oof

π

three off the side?
carpe and neptuno fell at least
i think carpe jumped bc they thought they lost

T
R B
what is going on with carpe tonight
atlanta paypal'd him
lol
Carpe playing Crap-e today
lul
eqo carry confirmed
ATE
too reliant on clutch burst heals
omnomnom
Where are the self destruct kills tonight
lucio touch
woowoo
what

rein solo turned that around
the perfect backcap
poko capped and they atlanta crumbled
Overextended
wow

That was a twist
that was odd
twist on a twist
^
Oh this is gonna be a good set
they had the ult advantage for a bit of that last fight
i think it was 3 to 2 for most of the team fights
decent comeback
bro the fucking grav eat
J
ke ad
ads 
Lets go dude
wait im behind i think
Cmon ATL β€
β€οΈπ€β€οΈπ€
wow you're very behind
I like both teams but rooting for ATL today
2nd map
Not started map 2 yet
oh damn
got my Philly flag flying outside!
About to start
Refresh?
yeah im at an ad rn
Ah

watching on PS4 because nothing else works
35 secs till KR starts
tbh I like watching this on my TV a lot more, comfy
β€οΈ
π€
if atlanta can beat outlaws i think they can beat fusion, cuz last year they were pretty even in skill i think
yeah true
Philly should play on numbani, idk why they picked kingdrow lol
They didn't
been rooting for Philly since the start of it all, my team through and through no matter what π
Losing team picks map, don't they?
Loser pick map rright?
yea
Ye
i just want goats to not
masa b careful
dafran dps needs to happen
so hard not to overextend as brig lol
let's goooooooo
I see a lack of healing on atlanta's part
yeah
"I need healing"
oh my God they got pushed so far-

Is the arena full now? lul
poko n defran dont get alot of healing

in there spawn
dafran should get al the heals and only play torb
I want to be able to hear the frantic team comms
sounds like the lesson here is "focus EQO"
You wanna hear them shout the name of whoever t heyre focusing until that person dies?
....yes
i think masa, cuz he overextended a bit
if twitch chat is anything to go by, dogman is a feeder
i don't like masa much tbh
fuck
i don't see him doing a lot for most matches
Itβs more of a problem with goats itself than a mistake from the players
probably not paying attention
Goats doesnβt have much burst healing
press Q
Just brigs pack
yeah i just want dafran to do soldier
yeah I know that
they're both like armor right
beat is more defense u heal alot while beating
ooh nice bomb
or one's shield or something
AYYYE
yikes
right on top of zen

yeah it's more that it's better to use one after the other rather than at t he same time, so you've got more duration of buffed hp
usually I heal while 'bating
back up atl
GODFRAN MINUTEMAN GRAV
@quartz robin

that hold oof
holdup did atl win the round-
thats it
dafran literally carrying
no not yet
Wish I could hold like that
im at 1:04 and it's buffering
Well we don't know if they've "won"
Why the fuck
@low ridge 
Dafran gravs on cooldown
Iβm trying to figure out why I donβt like PHL. Is it the people?
Daco bomb damn
fuck fusion
is it me or do they take more breaks when it's airing on TV?
Dafran best player in owl. His impact is insane
either him or jonak for me tbh
Dafran got fed a rare candy and hes a. Zarya god now
Same breaks
sorry what
but not that good
He had a grav every fight
fight fight fight
he's one of the best in the league definitely
@quartz robin this is a good map if you like Atlanta but an awful one if you like philly
How dare u say that
dafran borrowed some of ameng's big dick energy
LMAO
No
maybe not the best
fissure is a better rein i think
but he's top 5
Dafran is not one of the best
For stats
dafran is top 5 yes
dafran is top 5
for his stats he's top 5
LMAO
people hate em cuz they aint em π
surely saying he is top 5 means he is one of the best
so sensitive
Iβm a Dafran fan, Iβm an ATL fan, Dafran isnβt one of the best players in the league
Dafran is top 5 torb
Not even top 10
my man you're calling us bitches how are we-
AGREE
He's a dps on a tank, one that most dps couldn't flex too

@quartz robin πππ»
i like dafran
dafran is probably best zarya in the league to be honest
Not even close
who is then
Nenne is LOL
SEOMINSOO, Nenne
β€ @queen drift
I'm the best zarya
e h
nenne lost that title last night
nenne is decent
yeah
Gravgate
yeah
nice grav nenne
gravgate lol
seominsoo
i think
he can retake his title
ivy
Seominsoo might become the best zarya for a goats comp
IVYYYYYYYY
as best zar
i haven't really heard anything from him
Highest profile choker since the BTK killer
Seominsoo is a better zar than Nenne but Nenne is still second
no healing again
You realise there isn't categorically a best. Unsure as to why people can't state opinions without someone else getting stressy lol
ivy
still believe dafrans best zarya in league π€
dafran torb yummt
his torb is actually-
y
Youβre wrong
amazing
But have fun
it's all stats, but it's also performance in the meta
my man am i not allowed to have an opinion?
does he have an OWL hammer kill yet?
ooooo
I never said best zarya either
You are but as long as you accept that you are wrong
fuc
how did they lose that?
omgfggg
nice
yeah that's not how opinions work
It is when youβre that wrong
A hammer kill should auto cap a point
P
K P O

pretty sneaky sis
no-
opinions are like assholes
fusiojn
fuck 'em
dray fuck off donβt ruin it
you're literally acting like a twelve year old fox
wow
"oh your opinion is wrong"
:/
i was on the wrong side of history
A 12 year old whoβs right tho
people all in their feelings, chill tf out
yeah
@rare sable stop 
this game
I hate you dray
omg heal
I love how my one comment got everyone's testies in a twist

tired of goats man
But mostly tank

FRAGI
bumblebee is a mix of annoying and stupid
How has it been so far
lets seep
what heros tho

hammond/mercy/bap/ashe/widow/hanzo
goats is stupid to watch when both teams use all their ults right next to each other and all the lasers light show makes it impossible to tell wth is happening

Poor fragi needs a new team
@mint flower complaining about goats, talking about future meta in stage 2 with introduction of babtiste
Iβm tired of playing zen all the time
