[molten skiff]

OMG

[inland pawn]

haHAA

[trim shadow]

also since when did marshawn lynch have investments in san fran?

[little merlin]

[drowsy fulcrum]

now I REALLY want them to lose

[little merlin]

that's large cock move

[frozen perch]

their opponents are la

[trim shadow]

san fran and dallas are both frat houses at this point

[molten skiff]

@trim shadow he plays for raiders

and i think he's from oakland?

[little merlin]

Yeah

bay area born

[trim shadow]

i know he plays for the raiders

[drowsy fulcrum]

holy shit custa

[molten skiff]

and his clothing lineup is based in bay area too

[trim shadow]

he plays for the seahawks before

played*

[molten skiff]

yup

[drowsy fulcrum]

I've never wanted this team to win

but

[lament pine]

BIG FOREHEAD WTF xD

[little merlin]

and we all know that if oakland got a team, they would relocate

[drowsy fulcrum]

LET'S FUCKING GO VALIANT

[trim shadow]

i didnt know he had buisness influence in san fran tho

[little merlin]

for any raiders fans, fuck y'all

no offense

but uhh

[trim shadow]

@little merlin season 4 and well see

[drowsy fulcrum]

what city is the raiders lmao

[molten skiff]

im hoping they interview beast mode during half time

[little merlin]

chokeland currently

[molten skiff]

just let him speak about anything

[jagged crater]

wtf they actually got skittles up there

[drowsy fulcrum]

i don't know shit about handegg or basketball or whatever that is

[trim shadow]

@drowsy fulcrum was oakland but is moving to las vegas

[molten skiff]

it will be hilarious

[jagged crater]

i was literally making custom games about marshawn lynch

wtf are the odds

[molten skiff]

lawl

sombra punch sombra

[inland pawn]

VALIANT LULW

[drowsy fulcrum]

Custa is just sticking with Izayaki 🤔

[supple prism]

space again

[night tusk]

Space on Sombra lol

[outer zenith]

You see how split this comp is? There's no reason for Custa to not play by Ana.

[night tusk]

Space should not be on Sombra

[outer zenith]

Maybe. It's fairly common for the Off-Tank to flex to Sombra.

[frozen perch]

there we go. 3-3

[outer zenith]

But it just isn't coming together for the team/

[frozen perch]

Shock's comp is barely goats

and now it's straight up mirror

[inland pawn]

EZ GG

[balmy wolf]

0-14 incoming

[night tusk]

shock looks so much better

[supple prism]

what

shock has looked good for awhile

[night tusk]

swapping to goats without losing the point

[queen drift]

your offtank plays sombra in general, its better for swaps

[finite pagoda]

I had to shit, how's the game going

as expected?

[eager cairn]

yup

so so so sad

[north beacon]

God the first time I got hit by an amplified fire strike I just paused

[finite pagoda]

lol

[north beacon]

And did the quick math

“Ohhh... shit”

[inland pawn]

KSF finally did something

[wintry kraken]

does it amplify d.va bomb blast if the field is between you and bomb ? 😄

[supple prism]

no

[finite pagoda]

Does it amp dragons?

[supple prism]

no

i saw someone try to do that today

[finite pagoda]

I thought it happened last game on Hanamura

[supple prism]

like he intentionally leaped sideways just to aim it through

[finite pagoda]

by accident

[supple prism]

it will boost the initial arrow of dragons, but not the dragons themselves

rascal doesnt seem to bad on Bap

[minor flame]

baptiste goats

this is interesting

[trim shadow]

dh does bap say when he ults

[minor flame]

wtf dude

"feed da mans to u"

[supple prism]

they kinda just left there

[finite pagoda]

Don't even have to play at full power against LAV

[quasi stump]

valiant new dragons

[minor flame]

only shock would be able to play this type of shit

aggression is very high

[quasi stump]

????

[supple prism]

depressing win

[drowsy fulcrum]

oh

[solar trout]

[inland pawn]

😂 👌🏿

[eager cairn]

wow

i think they just gave up

[trim shadow]

welp packing10 looks like he changed nothing

[rapid locust]

I just got on, were there any good matches so far?

[trim shadow]

valiant shouldnt have scummed out of that trade with boston

[queen drift]

was that not a new record take on anubis?

6:44 timebank

[eager cairn]

it was

for this season

[solar trout]

lol carry me

[wintry kraken]

the trash talk

[solar trout]

I love hearing the comms

[finite pagoda]

Wish there was more listening in

[solar trout]

eh, privacy and whatnot

[quasi stump]

"they're so bad" bruh

[inland pawn]

the valiant vs shock game is so bad that they'd rather show the comms instead 😂

[solar trout]

I'm okay with that tbh

that was an entertaining clip they just showed

[trim shadow]

bumper still screaming like a sasquatch

[drowsy fulcrum]

@quasi stump that's the Super

[solar trout]

what even happened to LAV? They lost soon, but why are they worst team now

[drowsy fulcrum]

change in coaching

[trim shadow]

moons coaching decisions

goats

and then moon getting fired

and packing10 looking like he didnt change anything

maybe theyll get a win in there match

[minor flame]

@rapid locust no

[drowsy fulcrum]

Packing10 also has had less than a month to work with them

give him time

Valiant can do something

[minor flame]

the only match that was sorta entertaining was FL v LDN

[solar trout]

we can't exactly judge based on them vs shock I guess cause shock is insane atm

[drowsy fulcrum]

I'm gonna sleep now tbh

these games boring

[trim shadow]

sideshow said after stage 1 ended for them theyve been scrimming

[rapid locust]

@minor flame I've gathered that, but thankyou anyway

[trim shadow]

dont look like theyve been scrimming non stop

[solar trout]

remember how much SHD practiced in season 1

they were worked to death

[trim shadow]

and thats why they went 0-41

[finite pagoda]

i want that 5th map

[solar trout]

kinda neat to see rascal on a good team

unlike his time on dallas fuel

I don't like shock, but to give titans a run for their money in that stage 1 final certainly made me respect them

[eager cairn]

yeah

[finite pagoda]

I like shock, but I'm okay with another team getting out of the toilet

[eager cairn]

oof it's like the Shock are playing with 6 randoms in ranked

this is so boring

[finite pagoda]

This is the third game today featuring a clown team

[solar trout]

at the risk of sounding stupid, it is funny to see how tf2 is still relevant even now

[eager cairn]

since shock are so confident, especially with the flags and the California cup and stuff, they should just spend a good minute emoting to flex on LA

[minor flame]

team fortress 2

its mostly just casual players honestly

[eager cairn]

welp gg

[minor flame]

thats why its still relevant

cause its just a casual game at this point

[finite pagoda]

shock at 30% CPU usage

[minor flame]

it doesnt try to balance to the competitive side

[solar trout]

but terms like spychecking. We all know what it means and what it is from

[minor flame]

yeah but

its so straight forward

self explanatory

[balmy wolf]

wow that last push went horribly for LA

grav eaten and sound barrier EMP'ed

[eager cairn]

everything's going horribl for LA

[finite pagoda]

children are told from a young age, watch out for invisible spies

[balmy wolf]

at least glads are doing good

[wintry kraken]

why does LA needs 2 teams in every (e)sport tho 😄

[finite pagoda]

Next game will be far more interesting

[eager cairn]

yesss

looking forward to it, hope Seoul wins

[median coyote]

Seriously, had to be the last match of the night didn't it?

[eager cairn]

should've been first so i could watch it then skip the other matches

[median coyote]

^

[balmy wolf]

i mean the 1st match was kind of interesting

we could've seen another meme match being born

[solar trout]

You ever been to the LA area

[eager cairn]

Super's charge lol

[solar trout]

place is massive

[eager cairn]

is it just me or do pro players respawn way faster?

instead of 10 seconds it only takes them like 6

[finite pagoda]

spam space bar

respawn faster

[balmy wolf]

i think it depends on whether you're on offense or defense

[minor flame]

this day has been shit

GLA v Seoul hope itll be good

[wintry kraken]

@solar trout still. two NFL teams. two OWL teams. two NBA teams. two MLB teams. two MLS teams. if we consider Anaheim as part of LA metro area, then two NHL teams 😃

[solar trout]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_metropolitan_area
Anaheim is included

[wintry kraken]

@solar trout i meant Anaheim Ducks do not have "Los Angeles" in name, that is why i said it conditionally 😃

[molten skiff]

So gladiators arent in california cup rivalry?

[queen drift]

SELFLESS STRATS

[whole root]

Valiant LUL

[wintry kraken]

Shanghai Valiant

[eager cairn]

is it over?

[whole root]

At this point the 0-28 is possible

[eager cairn]

it's over

good

[whole root]

I believe

[eager cairn]

hmm maybe

i'm think 4 - 24 or something

[median coyote]

Fun fact - that was objectively the most predictable (aka boring) match all season!

(based on brier score for elo ratings)

[balmy wolf]

LMAO THEY BANNED THE OK HAND FROM THE TWITCH CHAT

OMEGALUL

[wintry kraken]

mayhem has same map score, but they got 1 round win from that 😄

[finite pagoda]

finally the good game

lets go

[solar trout]

bunch of morons in board rooms that don't understand trolls, memes, and jokes

[wintry kraken]

justice 10-23-1 map, 1-7 games. mayhem 10-23-2 map, 1-7 game. valiant 10-23-2 map, 0-8 game

[solar trout]

~"We don't want our advertisers to think we're racist"

Bring back the pepe

[finite pagoda]

Here comes the cringe song

Nice

[solar trout]

excuse me do you see a valiant song

I didn't think so

[north beacon]

Void needs some sleep

[eager cairn]

lmao in every single photo Fissure looks like he couldn't give any less of a shit about anything

[visual glen]

Feelsbadman punished for picking DPS

[supple prism]

i have seoul to win

[lament pine]

Dynasty did that fast!

[eager cairn]

see this is quality overwatch gameplay

👌

oh wait i can't do that

[solar trout]

👌🏻

[north beacon]

Omg so many mirrored ults

[molten skiff]

wait

whya re we good

[eager cairn]

Y E S this is good

[molten skiff]

stop

seoul you are making me feel uncomfortable

[eager cairn]

we are good

[molten skiff]

or just gladiators suck at control

[eager cairn]

nahh, they're okay

seoul is just doing pretty well, especially fissure

[visual glen]

[molten skiff]

that was good

[inland pawn]

2CP zzzzzzz

[supple prism]

whats with the trap spray

[median coyote]

Remember when 2CP was about quick takes and would go like 8 points?

[finite pagoda]

nice one

[molten skiff]

man

i hate 2cp

[finite pagoda]

Why?

[molten skiff]

it's just always boring

[eager cairn]

no

i think it's actually pretty fun to watch

[molten skiff]

you either run over

[eager cairn]

this one wasn't

[molten skiff]

or you get stalled

[eager cairn]

but most are

[molten skiff]

especially when you play it yourself

is bastion on paris an actual strategy in comps now?

[median coyote]

I liked this one because these Baptiste bunker comps are pretty new and seeing some success

[eager cairn]

yes

no

[molten skiff]

then again

i think overwatch only has one good map to play lol

[eager cairn]

Ilios

[median coyote]

Lemme guess, Kings Row?

[eager cairn]

Nepal

[median coyote]

People always say kings row

[inland pawn]

i just hate that 2cps are so momentum based

[eager cairn]

and everyone's favourite, king's row

yeah

[molten skiff]

yeah

[eager cairn]

i just got 2 borderlands 3 ads

[vale pond]

Results for today?

[median coyote]

Snoozefest

[eager cairn]

@vale pond not to be rude but can't you just look at the OWL website?

[vale pond]

Scores idc about the wah it wasnt 6 dps

[eager cairn]

but london 2-1 mayhem

[vale pond]

Also yeah but I’m lazy

Uh london throwing lul

[eager cairn]

Shock 4-0 Valiant

[vale pond]

Expected

[eager cairn]

that was arguably the most boring match this season

[vale pond]

Oof

[median coyote]

It's actually been decent comp variation, it's more a snooze cause we had some really predictable matches

[finite pagoda]

Yeah

[median coyote]

Toronto 3-1 Washington

[vale pond]

Yeah today was a lot of predictable matches

[finite pagoda]

All day shitty teams playing, outcomes predictable

[vale pond]

Damn washington took a map

[finite pagoda]

ikr

[median coyote]

^

Highlight of the night

[vale pond]

Tbf its xl combined with old shd

Washington is still better than mayhem and valiant rn

Arguably houston too

That match could go either way

[eager cairn]

RIP seoul 😦

[south brook]

[vale pond]

My playoff predictions this season are xl, titans, shock, glads, chengdu, boston, atlanta, and maybe seoul idk

[eager cairn]

ok fair enough

wait Chengdu? hmm ok with this meta maybe

atlanta, no

seoul, totally biased but yes

[lament pine]

OK This match is sooo good

[median coyote]

"Complex key presses to short hop" (hold s, press shift)

There's a ton of skill to chaining primal but that's a terrible example Bren

[eager cairn]

lol yeah

short and long hopping is relatively easy

Fissure's primal use tho, that's pretty impressive

[vale pond]

arlanta yes

[median coyote]

I still don't understand some of the crazy juggle tech. Like you can watch some explain the perfect timing for jumps and punches and it's still just insanity to me

[vale pond]

they will be 8th

Almost guarenteed

But they are still a playoff team

boston was a choke that they lost bc of shit management

[median coyote]

Gotta see more of them with Babybay instead of Dafran. Way too soon to see. They're on a long downward slope right now

[molten skiff]

lawl he sounds so bored

[vale pond]

why do you say that

[worn falcon]

Im sleeping with Hydration stuff

[molten skiff]

"ugh brig"

[vale pond]

They did well after 2 days of scrims

Downward slope/spiral is a bad way to describe it

They’ll bounce back

[molten skiff]

"better brigitte player"

[vale pond]

Its atlanta

[molten skiff]

wut

lawl

[median coyote]

They've won one game in the last 5. Including a loss 3-1 to Fusion (who I personally consider pretty trash) in a choke during playoffs

I'm not saying they're bad, but between recent results and some team shakeup it's just hard to pin down how good they are. I tend to agree they're a playoff team tho

[vale pond]

fusion is just as inconsistent as they are and had a good day

Power wise they are like #8

they’ll finish off with a 4-3 record

So long as they dont lose again

They play xl twice so they have to win every other game

[minor flame]

lmao

solo gravved fissure

even though he just got out of primal

[hidden vault]

Why play fusions when axxiom is the better main winston

[supple prism]

shot calling?

[minor flame]

fissure

[north beacon]

I think having jehong that long on Ana was a mistake

[minor flame]

old fissure is back

shattering when its too risky

LMAO

[hidden vault]

Fissure isn't a good fit for seoul 🤷

[minor flame]

THE STALL

[median coyote]

LH always was good at stalling =P

[eager cairn]

GG

[minor flame]

YO

ORYEROGREOARKOEO

[eager cairn]

omfg

[minor flame]

YOOOO

[eager cairn]

POG

[median coyote]

Ridiculous

[eager cairn]

i was in Fissure's POV

[visual glen]

lol

[minor flame]

DUDEEEEE

[visual glen]

wtf

[eager cairn]

man was just yeeting himself around the payload

[gilded peak]

HOLY SHIT

They defended that?!?!

[eager cairn]

how tf

[median coyote]

Somehow

[eager cairn]

3:30 minute time bank

[visual glen]

Fissure survived for too long

[eager cairn]

gone...hahahhaha

[visual glen]

He was so low at times

[worn falcon]

Jehong

[north beacon]

This is why spinning around as Hammond is amazing in QP

[worn falcon]

[minor flame]

Fits

literally clutching last sec

doomfist

lmaoooo

[reef imp]

That's one of the best things about eSports. It's intense and unpredictable.

[limber pine]

Never understand why people forget the payload

[reef imp]

These pros are on a different level than us mere mortals.

[limber pine]

LAG could have capped at 60 seconds

[gilded peak]

When they grav?

[minor flame]

they gravved

but no value was out of it

well

actually it was good

[limber pine]

They ignored the Dva and she stalled enough for fissure to come back out

[minor flame]

cause they couldnt spawn camp it

[median coyote]

Or just focus fire fissure a little. It's not like he didn't get stunned half a dozen times

[gilded peak]

btw, where is fleta??

[minor flame]

the only way they almost didnt win

is that Fissure flew off the map

and stalled too long not resetting

JEHONG STEALTH

[north beacon]

Yay another bastion /s

[eager cairn]

bastion sucks

[minor flame]

ok

you know how i liked variety

[north beacon]

Immortality field just enables bastion more at every rank

[minor flame]

i dont like bunker anymore

[supple prism]

you guys just like to complain

[median coyote]

YUP! I DO!

[north beacon]

No I’ve never liked bastion

I never felt like it added value to the game

[eager cairn]

thank the lords

[minor flame]

big anti

[eager cairn]

[visual glen]

goddammit glads

[median coyote]

"Bastions dead. We win"

[minor flame]

big primal

literally one fight won

just with primal

[north beacon]

Orisa Junkrat Bastion Mercy. AKA what people in QP switch to if they want to win

[eager cairn]

guys go onto fissure's pov on the command center thing

there's the free trial

[minor flame]

goats or not

this match has been pretty fun

[eager cairn]

yeah

seoul needs to win this tho :/

[north beacon]

“Quintessential for this to work”

I don’t think that’s the right word

[worn falcon]

Im watching Jehong vod, he plays in a ways feels like he is chill

[minor flame]

that was

bad

grav was bad

[worn falcon]

unlike Jjonak which is more aggro

[eager cairn]

daaaaamn

GG

[worn falcon]

well shit

[eager cairn]

😦

[minor flame]

that grav was essential

that was not a good one

[visual glen]

[minor flame]

putting it behind the payload

making fissure literally turn his back to charge

[eager cairn]

yeah

[minor flame]

c9ed

wtf is with brigs

and rallying right before they die

in gravs

watching munchkin pov

his brig is not very good

lmao

[eager cairn]

yeah....

fleta's brig was good in the World cup

this is not very yeet

[median coyote]

I'd say it's because a support ulting to prevent death is natural reflex. But most brings are dps soooo

[visual glen]

[eager cairn]

i mean seoul is literally all Fissure now

[median coyote]

Brigs*

[minor flame]

he wa sin the grav

for like

7 secs

he sees his hp is lowering

and then he rallies

[median coyote]

And somehow they all do it. I'm with you

Well, not all. But too many

[minor flame]

I feel like theres been a shift in Seouls comms

maybe they switched shotcallers

[eager cairn]

yeah......

idk

they should play

Tobi instead of Jecse?

[minor flame]

I think Tobi works more with the passive playstyle like Marve1

[eager cairn]

yeh true

[minor flame]

I think ultimately Fleta should be put in honestly

[finite pagoda]

lets goooo map 5

[vale coral]

What’s map 5 gonna be

This is my first time watching an overwatch league match

Even though I’ve had the game since day 1

[median coyote]

Lijiang

[vale coral]

Cool

What are the majority of people here rooting for

What team

[median coyote]

I'd guess mostly Seoul based on comments

[vale coral]

Oh

Well I live in Cali

[visual glen]

[vale coral]

So I kind of want LA to win

[median coyote]

Except that dude. He doesn't say much but he likes the emote

[vale coral]

And what does GOAT mean

[minor flame]

its a comp made by a contenders team

3 supports 3 tanks

its lost its original meaning so its been more broadened to that

[balmy wolf]

welp glads gonna lose this

[vale coral]

Yeah because I remember greatest of all time

[outer zenith]

It's called GOATS because that's the name of said team.

Although there's the meme that it stands for GO All Tanks & Supports.

[minor flame]

you could also associate it as a goat

charging

since goats are usually played aggressively melee range

[outer zenith]

You could... but that would just be too much. lol

[median coyote]

Yup. Beware those scary charging goats =P

[minor flame]

Glads wins the mobile map

lets see if Seoul can take the grounded ones

[visual glen]

SHIELDS UP

[median coyote]

Oof

[outer zenith]

Big Shatter or bust.

[finite pagoda]

Bust

[median coyote]

I thought for sure when jehong managed to hold trans that long they'd be safe

[visual glen]

SHIELDS UP SHIELDS UP SHIELDS UP

[eager cairn]

i went to eat lunch just got back

[supple prism]

well i got 3 right today

[keen abyss]

suck it fissure

[eager cairn]

and i see "Los Angles Gladiators Win" just appear

fml

[north beacon]

smh for that bastion comp though

[balmy wolf]

Man Fissure looks tilted af

[lament pine]

That was a great match!

Now lets see what they bring next week!

[north beacon]

-10 street cred to GLD for using bastion

[balmy wolf]

Hydration Man's costumes have been getting better

[keen abyss]

next week is battle for LA

[balmy wolf]

Yeah but if a team can't get past a Bastion comp they don't deserve to win

[keen abyss]

so many rivalries for glad

[minor flame]

keep in mind

baptiste exists

and he has insane healing

[outer zenith]

These comments about Bastion...

[minor flame]

and insane utility for bastion

baptiste makes bastion

insanely strong at times

[keen abyss]

i originally had my doubts about decay and roar, especially in the first few matches

[minor flame]

its incredibly hard to penetrate this type of comp

[keen abyss]

but after the halfway point of stage 1

they brought glad back to the top 5 teams

just a matter of time before the stats reflect that

[minor flame]

Seoul couldve done better pushing Point A

but Bastion Baptiste is becoming

part of the meta

Baptiste will probably be nerfed when Bastion Baptiste starts taking a rise

[outer zenith]

That was an "interesting" fist bump.

[visual glen]

🖐 ✊ 🖐 ✊ 🖐 ✊

[outer zenith]

Indeed.

[keen abyss]

feels bad for fissure though

his first time losing to one of his past teams

[finite pagoda]

Fusion v Mayhem ez call

NYXL v Shanghai ez call

Chengdu v Paris might b cool

[keen abyss]

yeah ez for shanghai

[minor flame]

atleast it went out with a bang

[keen abyss]

as a glads fan since day 1

this makes me happy

can't wait to see glads in playoffs

[finite pagoda]

Bets on Defiant v Boston?

[keen abyss]

i wouldnt be able to say much on that matchup

[median coyote]

Yeah Paris chengdu could be fun. New roster, new patch for Chengdu to play around with.

[keen abyss]

defiant looks like a good team but that could just be them getting easy matchups

i've never been able to gauge boston

[median coyote]

Unless Rck gets ridiculously lucky again I'd give it to Toronto

[keen abyss]

sometimes they look like a good team, sometimes they look average, sometimes they're the first team to ever lose to shanghai

[minor flame]

Defiant and Boston are a oddcase

[median coyote]

But close. Maybe 3-2

[minor flame]

normally id say Defiant

but Boston

Blase and Colourhex looked way better

and rck did a great debut(?)

[median coyote]

Yeah he did

[keen abyss]

attention all gladiators fans
make sure you flex on all your dynasty fan friends

[spring heath]

:_(

[keen abyss]

just shows how much the glads have improved in exactly 1 stage

[minor flame]

as again

Seouls main problem

is comms

and fissure

Fissure is either godlike or fucking throwing

I thought he improved end of stage 1

but he still has the same problems

too impatient

I think mayhem would get a projectile dps for their 8th player

[hidden vault]

And damn nyxl has 4 hitscan dps

[supple prism]

yea and they might not be able to do much with them

[hidden vault]

send some to Washington

[minor flame]

for nyxl

it was way more dps specialized in season 1

so yeah they put alot of smaller pools

[balmy wolf]

shit

i think i died

[fathom acorn]

This stage has been off to a good start

A lot of DPS comps used

Which is why I find it so hilarious that these games are less viewed on twitch than stage 1

[trim shadow]

Apperantly mayhems academy team earns more then them

[balmy wolf]

When Mayhem Academy is actually performing better than the OWL team then they probably deserve it

[limber pine]

That’s wrong

Minimum contract in owl is $50k

There’s no way MA is getting paid that

[elfin dagger]

Lmao

Effect has retired

https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/ba61ly/effect_retires/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Tldr

Effect wants to stop stressing over pro overwatch

And talks about his mental unstability

[trim shadow]

If thats real dallas wouldve said sum

Sad effect peaked in apex

[minor flame]

sure except

he literally posted it on facebook himself https://www.facebook.com/hyeon.hwang.9216/posts/446096529497430

and its been 20 mins ago

[fathom acorn]

https://youtu.be/nnLuPYM0KBM

Valiant may be 0-8

But this redeems them a little

[mint flower]

so effect has unofficially retired?

[minor flame]

Most likely

If he has posted this before DF said anything

He mayve started the process of leaving

Or is already in it anf posting early

[mint flower]

also have the mayhem players officially been released?

[minor flame]

Yrs

Everyone who has been released

Has literally said LFT

And confirmed it

Theres a whole statement from Mayhem about it

[mint flower]

icic

[worn falcon]

April 5th - The Florida Mayhem makes sweeping roster and coaching changes, moving towards a full Korean roster. Players TviQ, Apply, McGravy, and coaches Mineral and Yeah are released while INSIGHT is signed as a new coach.

woops

[fallen cloak]

[worn falcon]

[vale pond]

Atlanta london 3-2

[fathom acorn]

If London just, idk, USES DPS

Then I could see them winning

[tawny sigil]

i really dont understand why MLG doesn't stream OWL during weekends

[fathom acorn]

Both of these teams seem to be stubborn when it comes to the meta swap

Which is weird cause they both have really good DPS players who could thrive in this meta

[vagrant niche]

https://clips.twitch.tv/HealthyDeafYakinikuThisIsSparta

paid actors comfirmed

[fathom acorn]

Either way that should be a good game

TD vs BU and CH vs PE could be interesting

But the other two matches are ez sweeps

There

[night tusk]

what is mayhem doing lol

[supple yoke]

pause?

[night tusk]

RIGGED

[queen drift]

theres like 3 pauses every day dwdw

about 20 PCs working on this, shit happens

[night tusk]

ow I see elk is playing

[wintry kraken]

@queen drift yeah right. that is why there is no pause and penalty in competitive 😉

[night tusk]

F

LOL

[uneven wren]

another pause

kris had to restart his game

[wintry kraken]

HP Omens are overheating ? 😄

[tawny sigil]

they're using asus screen though

[nova wadi]

boombox hog lul

[supple yoke]

philly did well

[queen drift]

theyre using omen not hp screen

omen not asus *

[tawny sigil]

someone said they were using asus screen a while back

[queen drift]

yes, it was me

they were originally using Asus

then they swapped to Omen

[tawny sigil]

oh

[fallen cloak]

florida currently eating pure shit

[nova wadi]

as is tradition

[median coyote]

so say we all

[tawny sigil]

why do bad team tend to win the first map, i dont get it

[queen drift]

cuz its control

control doesnt really work like any of the other maps

less strats, more just.. scrim on point till you die

[minor flame]

control is a bit more chaotic

[rustic perch]

you can see control games in owl in your normal ranked games, did you never have games where you really get crushed on defense, but ended up crushing the enemies even more on offense

[median coyote]

actually historically most of the biggest upsets are on map 4

[rustic perch]

some teams are just better on certain modes or sides

[tawny sigil]

stream, plz

[supple prism]

hmm?

[tawny sigil]

it froze for a few seconds

[supple prism]

oh, not for me

[queen drift]

bqb?

[median coyote]

nice save by carpe there

bodyblocking the hook

[balmy wolf]

yeeted grav 👀

[supple prism]

and at best they will get it in OT and draw for a loss in the series

oh its escort

not hybrid

so nvm

[median coyote]

yeah theoretically winnable but realistically not

i think fusion had 2:30 or so?

[balmy wolf]

philly aint looking that good tbh

[median coyote]

they haven't all season imo 😛

[supple prism]

maybe, but mayhem is doing much better

[balmy wolf]

well, didnt mayhem recently went all korean?

[supple prism]

yea

[median coyote]

yes, but so far its only gotten them one win XD

[balmy wolf]

wait thats not how you play pirateship

[supple prism]

mayhem havent gotten a win yet since going all korean

[median coyote]

scrim powers activated, xepher grabs a quick 2

[supple prism]

they still only have one win this season

against philly

[nova wadi]

LMAOOOOOO

[tawny sigil]

F9

[median coyote]

F

[night tusk]

c9 lol

[supple yoke]

[pearl cedar]

[pearl cedar]

YEP

[balmy wolf]

actually shang9

[night tusk]

LOL

[pearl cedar]

that's a proper c9

[nova wadi]

i dont even know what to call this

[pearl cedar]

that's a PROPER c9 boys

[supple yoke]

xepher LOL

[supple prism]

thats worse than shanghai

[tawny sigil]

not as bad as shanghai but still up there

[median coyote]

its really a shang9

[night tusk]

classic c9

[supple prism]

shanghai was at least trying to push up

they werent even ready here

[uneven wren]

a shang9

[median coyote]

c9 is a won fight and abandoning, shang9 is being completely alone and outside a teamfight and abandoning

[supple prism]

and now philly isnt taking it seriously

[nova wadi]

florida pepega'd

[supple prism]

well i was completely right on this one

[balmy wolf]

👀 i just finally want nyxl vs vancouver

but its in the last stage

[magic birch]

[potent harness]

daaaaadaaaa

[spring heath]

😮

envy~!

colourhex wow

tryna make moves for this team

[south brook]

Just got in, how are the games today

[spring heath]

hUH

didnt really watch philly n mayhem but philly won 3-1

this match has been fun

imo

[outer zenith]

Neko, the playmaker.

[azure harbor]

[karmic grotto]

Wow

amazing coordination from defiant

[outer zenith]

Neko slept the Dva from across the point, snuck in a Grenade, and then got the Nano off to seal it.

[azure harbor]

4-0?

[tawny sigil]

is there a red light that tells them the camera is on?

[azure harbor]

[median coyote]

so starts the reverse sweep?

[tawny sigil]

not bad

[drowsy fulcrum]

they're going to reverse sweep

as usual

[wintry kraken]

i wish chats in big twitch channels didn't sound like the hallways of insane asylum

i love how people hated 3-3. now it is quad tank 😄

[median coyote]

thats a great first point hold tho

[tawny sigil]

man its a good thing he had a matrix on that barrage. absolutely nutty choice to ult from there

[minor flame]

rck

fucking hell

that dm

was so good

[karmic grotto]

nobody shot pharah?

[median coyote]

no rck just saved him hard

[karmic grotto]

they could have taken out dm max damage taken

[magic birch]

matrix but he shouldve died

[minor flame]

he got dmed then they refocused someone

[karmic grotto]

by shooting through matrix thing

[magic birch]

colourhex riskiest play ever

[minor flame]

dm doesnt have max dmg taken

?

[median coyote]

^

[trim shadow]

wonder if neko was going for amped healiing or to kill that pharah

[minor flame]

its not a shield

its a force that obliterates all projectiles

only thing limiting is time

[karmic grotto]

So you tell me it doesn't decrease faster when there's much damage?

[minor flame]

no

[karmic grotto]

weird

[minor flame]

that would make dva shit

and that would enable spam meta

[slow walrus]

it't a time limit that absorbs projectiles. a "larger" projectile doesn't make it go down faster lmao

[median coyote]

toronto is really good at control tho. their best map type by far

[minor flame]

wait

nvm

Colourhex dude

hes so improve

[magic birch]

COLOURHEX 5K PEAK PLAYER
