ok TR4C3R
Ah, the Dragons are next. Let's do this.
imma bouta head out
it is only me or Mica's voice is annoying to others too ? (i mean her voice hurts my ears)
soe better
Yes, it's NYXL, but the Dragons have improved by leaps and bounds. I'm certain they'll be a good fight, at least.
i doubt it
didn't the Dragons take a map of NYXL in Stage 1?
different roster
.nyxl will just run goats all game
and shanghai doesnt have a better goats team then nyxl
goats ResidentSleeper
Shanghai went from a probably average contenders leveled team to an average OWL team
think mica is cool
i dont mind her voice much, i just don't like her interviewing style
soe is best girl
sometimes I do think the audio acts out at times when in owl streams
soe is cool too
nyxl lineup this game is the same its been the entire season
Boston and reverse sweeps name a more iconic duo
nyxl and choking playoff runs
ooh good one
Dafran's torb
inb4 nyxl wins a stage in dominance and get eliminated first round of end of season playoffs
who is dafran? must not be important enough to be an OWL player
(we won't see Torb in OWL until he decides to return) 😄
and he popped off thanks to Twitch Prime 😄
wait did Boston reverrse sweep again?
that will be shown at the end of the season too i think 😄
yeah
3 in a row now
@drowsy fulcrum yes
I will freely admit that's impressive.
Team Choke on stage
shanghai koreans vs ny koreans
I missed the end of the Dragons' last match, what happened?
We’ve been getting a lot more DPS than anyone predicted
but also getting 4-2 here and there
Sucks to hear, but thanks.
nye throwing
istead of being GOATSGOATSGOATS its like "goats goats, bunker, 4 dps, something else"
MAYBE IF YOU DIDNT PLAY GOATS YOU COULD GET THE PHARAH
quad tank
hey Shanghai what are you doing right now
maybe if you had a hitscan
you could kill her
you're not meant to do it against NYXL
you can tell NYE is still shit on this map
@minor flame they need something to deal with pharah also
First time for everything.
nice boop
no
dude I love dding
im gonna sound hella mean, but asians often dont start aging till 25
pOG
like showing any signs of aging outside of 16y/o
COULD YOU LOSE ANY MORE TEAMFIGHTS
more like 50
Man that last shot on baby dva
also how is it mean
@worn hornet have you seen the outlaws coach
Perfect way to end
LOL
if anything id be happy if i didnt look like a raisin at age 30
It looks like they need pine
NEW GOATS EXCELSIOR
hey nyxl ITS A NEW META START PINE
I think so. Is she actually like 65?
theyre staying nenne cuz he is a zarya
well i was gonna got eat dinner but maybe shanghais gonna make this match worth watching
pine only really plays mccree and widow at the pog level
all u need
nice win against philly in the semi finals
first time nyxl hasnt played goats this season
jesus christ young that aim
get better internet 4head
Round 1: “oh are SHD that good??”
lol
nope
Round 2: “no... no they’re not”
mano goomba stopmed him
how did they lose a round tho?
air monkey
air monky
air monkey
Day 100 of waiting for pine to come back
fissure is the best air monkey
air scientist
phara wasnt ulting while being pocketed
fissure still best
mccree 😃
fissure's clip ^
not pine 😦
Wasted visor
dding i kindly request you stop murdering nyxl
this is how they won the first round too. pharah getting value
Shanghai handing NYXL their first loss of the season would be the best thing ever
They’re punishing them for using goats
SOMEONE GET THE PHARAH
This is what NYXL gets for getting too used to a meta
They’ve gotten soft and complacent
@worn hornet dynasty already claimed that prize
tbh the only way I can be disappointed by this match is if it’s boring. I’d love either a NY or SHD win
For different reasons
right playoffs
my internet is actual trash i can see nothing
its like watching sand
meko
gets 2
AGAIN
rip
Soldier is back yay
kneeknee
...OK, bad start for the Dragons, but they always come back stronger.
any any
neigh-neigh. like a horse
nay I say nay
@fallen cloak americans can't pronounce names right
waiting till they day they pronounce pine as peen
@fallen cloak the american NHL commentators loved to butcher Slovak names - Šatan vas pronounced Satan instead of Shatan. Or Chara should have been pronounced with Ch like in word "change" instead of the correct one
so i never expect correct pronouncation from american people, they just pronounce it like if it was english name
zed-ay-no char-ah
geguri freed
is how most of them I've heard say it
@fallen cloak ch is a special letter in slovak. Put Chára in google translate, change language to Slovak and press the speaker icon
are we saying geguri's name right?
GEG-UORY
i wont be surprised if they start saying geegyuri
the "ch" sound comes from Ч in cyrillic languages
or mano is mA- noh
GG-REEEEEEEE
someday theyll have a stroke saying guxue
here comes gu-xewafeg-ue
dead
nice SLEP on dding
goo sh way
@cloud latch 0-4'ing
losing is what theyre doing
OH! Okay, in that case, that was a great play.
this is a massacre...
massacre? i prefer mass victory
dapper is a dragons fan
@mint flower nah. Valiant games are massacre
lmao
a few of la games were actually pretty close last stage
I don’t think I can root for SHD anymore
yeah valiant honestly was doing a lot better than their 7-0 scoreline showed
i think they played the most map 5s in stage 1?
its at least some indication that that 0-7 wasn't complete massacres
ye
getting to 2-2 is something at least, even if you have 0 clutch
part of me wishes theyd play flower here
would be worse for the result
but world cup 2017 vibes ❤
orisa lol
mano looks like "oh. i guess they're not gonna contest me?"
i bet they will do some detective work after the game

how have games been

boston was great
watch boston's game
shanghai holding very well
GEGURI
geguri~
shanghai didnt get a tick righty
Mano
nope they didnt. but neither did xl
yes
it will draw
casters said loss zzz
ez
GEGURI
damn
draw
na casters
DRAW 
yum~
nicee
they can't even pronounce "draw" right
nenne needed to get way more value off that grav. solo gravd gamsu and it wasnt even worth them trying to follow it up
wasnt a solo grav
as bad as a lost almost
who else was in it? thought i just saw monkey
they could ask pine and sbb to fix this mess
oh boston won?
yeah
reverse sweep agane
pine and sbb are better at pharah widow comps then nenne and libero
not tru
lol no
there stats are better
sbb and pine both hitscan
sbb is pretty much a tracer otp
libero or fl0w3r need to play pharh
sbb and pine have more and better stats
just gonna put all of boston matches at 3-2
ill rephrase
you ALWAYS run libero in nyxl
pine and sbb are better in dps comps
but theyre not
whats the scenario here
libero is the trump card
bring fl0w3r 😡
you want a tracer otp and an inconsistent widow? sure go sbb / pine
they even ran libero often in tracer-widow meta. and thats pine+sbb's one tricks
honestly
Sure four to Dallas 
you want to play almost every dps in the game, and a top tier zarya/tracer? You run Libero Nenne
yeah
pine is just the bigger reward
they tried to run sbb on widow for a while because of how inconsistent pine is
they should put Mano back to lucio Kapp
if you keep getting killed be phara then bring in pine's mcree or sbb's widow
either or will fix it
show me the stats that it wont
i cant show you stats for a concept so stupid that it hasnt even been tried yet
👀 someone tell nyxl that this isnt playoffs
its like saying why dont you just run double junk against goats
2 junks would counter goats !!
show me stats that it wouldnt
???
900iq double junk meta incoming
go to overbuff, and look them up
Fox is salty
that junk analogy is bad
Overbuff 5Head
overbuff stats lmao
I’m jebait ung
Also they had to go mccree/soldier goats
Btw, how far do we go from original goats until it’s not goats anymore?
goats is 3-3
Cause it was goats with no zen, rien, or dva with a Winston soldier and ana
How far do we go from base goats until it’s just not goats anymore
1-0 at halftime is basically losing
everything else is a variation
if you remove the brig, it's not goats anymore. It's just deathball
at this point anything that's triple support is basically called goats
^
Also @queen drift SHD are nowhere near NYXL and they’re still holding their own VERY well
double draw, first for OWL, Let's go!
I said that already
i agree you really need brig lucio for true goats. but people called everything goats
So I’d call this a loss for goats
og goats is brig moira lucio
u r salty
I was jebaiting you
not just you
what does goats even stand for
what am i salty about thoooo lol
the team that first really ran the comp
goats stands for the contenders team who ran it
ah
GOATs was a contenders team, I think it was an acronym of the greatest of all time shit
without the shit
goats has been around forever tho
i don't understand fox, I know exactly what we were talking about and it had nothing to do with goats
if anyon who originally ran it it was nip
who tf is nip
ninja in pyjamas in apex
the comp isnt what made goats goats
but it was rein zarya hog
it was the way they got to point
G.O.A.T.S GET OVERPOWERED AND TILT STUPID
do you think that if nyxl field pine it's because they think goats will fail against SHD?
and usually ana lucio zen
I think fielding pine is dumb in any composition
they wont field pine, shd just have to run goats for a free win then
They call him big boss pine because he has a lot of flashy highlights
When he pops off, he hits insane shots
the only real distinction for goats is it has a brig. when she was released the stacking aoe heals made 3-3 really viable again
Pine should not play in this patch xd
they call him big boss pine because he always pops off
but he doesnt
if he did why would they try to run sbb over him
he was so inconsistent a tracer otp was considered more viable on widow
because pine was home sick
and wasn't compelled to play because of his mental state
on a orbed enemy
nyxl is gonna lose if they dont adapt
^
firestrike w/ bap ult is nasty
jjoank lmao
anything with bap ult is nasty
I don't think NYXL will have a problem adapting once a set meta is in place
right now a lot of teams are struggling because we're between metas
true, but firestrike cleaves and w/ bap ult it does 200 damage
one shots squishies behind shields
Oh, that's painful.
big kill
gamsu tried to shatter before manos could come down and lost it
"as soon as they remove dding" aaaand he's dead
goats is losing btw
Get it together, Dragons!
shd really really tried to ult. they really wanted to
You're better than this.
did SHD win?
no
no
not even fucking close
ok
foxes don't lie tho
This one does
foxes dont talk tho
when have you ever met a lying fox?
never!
exactly
Right now
Never trust Fox news
Fox doesn't lie
He’s obviously bad at overwatch
ok ur not wrong there but im not a he
Doesn’t matter
“5th fastest attack on eichenwalde” that’s how you know it’s a real sport. Random stats
"fastest eichenwalde completion on a saturday by an atlantic division team!"
I ride the silver/gold line, but I feel like my game knowledge is constantly being crippled by my poor aim
i tend to float between 4 and 3.9k
"I have no aim, I have no brain, I am a winston main"
lol I'm actually a main tank most of the time
well, i know where this is going
Twitch chat be like: this is pharah mercy Orisa mccree goats
goats is losing 😦
:resident sleeper:
Fire Strike has been replaced with Entend-O-Hammer, which increased Reinhardt's melee range to 30 meters.
??????????
@worn hornet lol
patch coming when?
spoke too soon
you mean extend-o-hammer
im excited for this new hammer-sniper
no it also smokes mountains of weed
what sucks more, grav or valiant? 🤔
Rein needs brig’s flail technology
that would be the best april fools day patch
And shield bash
except brigs frail is same range as hammer
AoE SHIELD BASH
justice. justice sucks more
punchout-reinhardt edition
@minor flame you have to multiply everything to scale
if reins hammer was scaled with flail it'd reach hanamura
from Route 66
@median coyote yea, you right
what was that boop?
half of their time lol
inb4 Shanghai completes in OT and full-holds NY for a 2nd tie
and there it is
thats gg
that's a shame man
i hate being wrong
nyxl need to adapt 4head
OH SHIT
the kill on lucio 👀
just put in pine and sbb 4head
that is what it looks like when a tank main plays dps
jjonak accuracy on baptiste tho
Jjonak is a DPS in support clothing

drake_clapping.gif
I'm not gonna bother watching the rest of this. I already know how it ends.
rip Dragons
?
the music during the wait was all glitchy like their sound board was messed up
well yeah it was the stream cause everything else sounds fine
sounded like an old broken casette tape
for dding?
DIE..ing
i think hes confused with temple of drawnubis
@tawny sigil that means your stream lagged. Twitch uses video sync since a year ago or so, so if the video lags behind actual stream, the video is sped up, and so is audio adjusted to it, and then it sounds weird
all 2cp maps are draw something
that it wasn't sped up and i didnt fall behind it was just the wait music
yeah, but draw-ris just doesn't have a good ring to it
sounds like a disease
@tawny sigil yes, it is the thing i just described. it is always noticeable only with music. it is the video sync thing
ok
ripparoni
wow. that's a really brutal one. damn
that was a nasty stagger

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-angxiaolong is probably playing this stage
drake_clapping.gif
yangxiaolong's name triggers me
how do you say that?
i'm a cross tag player
yang is hot
well guys
for those of you who thought contenders would be anything but goats
is a shitshow
boy do i have bad news for you
I just want to play my grappler character but NOOOO you gotta be able to armour through it
fuck Yang
bad contender players would resort to basic comps
all RWBY characters in BBTag are shit tbh
😎
and contenders goats is even worse to watch
luffy?
contenders goats is infinitely better than owl goats lmao
owl goats is like so sloppy
top tier owl team goats is infinitely better
Ahhhh.. nyxl struggling to adapt..
owl goats is trash compared to contenders wtf dym lmao
No pine or sbb
@queen drift they didn't adapt to Seoul

Feels good
contenders have been playing goats for over half a year
owl teams have been doing it for a month and a half total
I'm super excited for this match
3-2 hunters
nah, 4-0 hunters
they need a new pic of Soon
this Soon perspective is making me feel better about how I play hitscan
I love how sombra's hack prevent mcree from rolling
oh man, watching soldier run while hammond just rolls right past him
also prevents Soldier from running a bit faster
Twitch chat be like: this is mccree mercy ana Winston goats
twitch chat be like: ~~👌 ~~ wait no that's racist now
if there is a brig, it's a goat
i dont twitch chat but i do abuse the free amazon prime account and give the free sub with it to random people
goats plus mccree = McGoats
McChicken
but this ain't that
If there is less than 2 dps it’s goat
That’s twitch chat logic
It doesn’t matter that literally only 2 goats heroes are in the comp
Shhhh
That’s too much thinking

when i see these players and how they use mouse, i am not surprised they have RSI by age of 16
can hammond t-bag?
Wtf was soon doing?
You can just continuously transform over their bodies. They'll get the message.
Lmao
or just drag his ball across their face
that's what i was thinking
God, Chengdu...
god I love watching Chengdu
How do they keep getting more entertaining?
Lool
Chengou Trolls
holy shit
<3
huh
CHENGDU CHADS
got. damn.
Get rekt with symm on attack !
omg a sym played seriously in owl
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
I love this
@mint flower lol
NERF SYM
Symmetra orisa junkrat is meta
NO ONE BELIEVED ME

SYM IS OP
Holy shit
LONG LIVE THE SYM MAKNS
actual counter bunker strat
I remember when Rascal played symm and realize she js strong but team forced to swap off
This strat kinda reminded me of mei from meta athena
what is this match
She's situational. And leave it to the masters of off-meta strats, Chengdu, to know exactly when to use her.
what is this chaos that chengdu is doing and why is it working and why do I love it
fuck it
I love chengdu
Never seen Chengdu before?
elsa torb > dafran torb
cum
Cum.
elsa is korean dafran
They've given up on their normal strait crazy
Nah, I imagine that Paris have practiced this attack with this comp.
These are all heroes that they are known for playing.
Elsa is their wildcard
Amazing coaching
@outer zenith and yeah known for playing in regular comp
Not OWL
There ya go. This is just their version of a bunker comp counter.
ELSA IS DAFRANS SUCCESSOR
dafrans spirit courses through elsa's soul
Elsa had to let loose one last time.
Torb juice
This is classic dive
is this 2-2-2?
yeah
v 2-2-2
vs 2-2-2
^^^
it's the chad hunters
This game is... 👀👀
It is literally high level Overwatch, like two top 500 teams solo queue
This is great castor have no idea what's going on
@outer zenith Get in here waffle
i mute the game and listen to Avast instead
You need to see this next push
?
They are about to show you why this is Chengdu's game
THEY DOIN IT
NOW ELSA IS MY BEST FRIEND
CHENGDUUUUUUU
copy paste
HOLY CRAP
we didn't prepare for teleporting ninjas
HOLY CR*P LOIS
welp, gonna be seeing that in game now
This is pogchamp
Hunters have Paris in the palm of their hand. They can't play their normal straits. Shxts not working.. Lol
This is pogchamp
chengdu pog
My mobile omg
these are the gold rank strats which are so stupid they work 😄
If mods read this, I did not want to spam, my mobile just send multi message...
gold ranks wouldnt execute strats like this
The bunker comp defense on Hanamura is a fairly new strategy, so I'm incredibly impressed with how effective Chengdu's counter comp is.
you can just delete the extra posts
Can't on mobile I believe
@simple badger i actually had something similar done to my team some months ago. well the sym part
you can
Sideshow nutted at least twice that game
But it'll be very interesting to see just how well it holds up in the future once other teams have it scouted.
I'm a NYXL Fan, but they will definitely have to watch out for these guys. The will trip them up immediately!
i don't know what a baconjack is but it sounds tasty
no team can prepare for them so that will help them alot
"Yeah! I also liked that!"
in scrims way
the next owl skin i get will be chengdu hunters
same
Top 4 teams currently have to be:
Vancouver TItans
NYXL
Chengdu Hunters
SF Shock
Or to watch out for
🦀 GOATS IS DEAD 🦀
what if Titans pull out the london
I wonder if Spark will do better this stage or not
I can see Boston be in the stage playoffs. but able to beat NYXL or Titans ?
Boston has the potential to beat NYXL
Nahh Boston will be going home soon
they can beat nyxl in playoff. nyxl always chokes
Boston seems to need to have time to pop off. thats why the reverse sweeps I guess
hunters is not above shock
But don't go easy on them
if you want to beat NYXL you need to take the first 2 maps I guess like Seoul did
goats aint even dead
shock has an easy stage 2
jinmu's pharah is 👌🏻
so fun fact about titan's, they beat team korea from the world cup
They will make JJonak switch
never heard of Danye
back when they were runaway

Lmao
ROLLED
I just loved the nyxl and dragons game
Shows there is actually a skill gap in pro scene lol
This is 5x better
Ok I’m joking
Nothing is better as a Boston fan tho then the Boston game
That’s was intense
every time the commentator says ameng i hear emongg 😄
Lol
Like s1 should teams not just play goats vs Hunters?
I just think goats is kinda dead
Goats!
It works but only against certain comps
The only excitement Boston ever gives, is bringing up DreamKazper's name
Bottom 5 guaranteed
goats is back crab
I never like dreamkazper
GOATS is far from dead, but it's more situational. And more so than that, teams are still experimenting with this new patch.
That’s what I ment yea
yea they always play it in close quarters situations
And Lucio new Buffs make it hard for goats.
It’s not something ur gonna see every game
Rein can't stay in one spot now
Hammond is so fun to watch
YOTTACHAD
We'll know once week 3 comes around. Teams will begin to feel the pressure to make stage playoffs and they'll default to whatever is the easiest.
Agreed
You have bumper and you have Ameng rein
Boston just needs to keep reverse sweeping
Bumper is really not that good
😛
Bumpers playstyle makes him really good on Titans
Bumper plays well with good backup
People think it's not good but that is their strat
Ameng for that one game was totally playing just to counter Bumper
Pepega charge and gets value
Nyxl will always be the overall no1 imo for this season
They r consistent
For the most part
They r boring to watch tho imo
Yes but, having soo many players on the bench, and not giving much play time will hurt them
They are soo one sided
Against teams like Hunters and TItans, that thinking won't work
Especially since TItans are Counter-Punchers
They wait for you to push and embarrass you.. Pretty crazy
Or stage rather
AMENG
THE CHAD
spawncamping
AMENGGGGGGG
AMENG
YOTTACHAD
hammond was made for this dude
INSANE
SPAWNCAMPING
i haven't got as much piledriver kills in my whole gaming time with ball than ameng today
Paris will go back to scrimms like:
"Okay no more Goats, we have to figure something else out"
TRIED TO SOLO ULT
he rolls into the team at lowish health just to use the ability to gain more shield to roll out safely
DIDNT EVEN SUCCEED
lol finnsi
i think the hunters are just a bunch of gigachads in general
i think i saw someone describe them as if they were playing mystery heroes
Did he just say gigachad
AMENG THE GIGACHAD
he did
EXCUSE ME
i know what i wrote 😤
Double sniper?
HAHAHAHAH
new strat lol. just take him down
Hunters Coach: Run Goats
Ameng: Forget Coach
is hammond goats a thing?
G ResidentSleeper A T S
dang soon 15 player killstreak
Okay now Paris are back, they are forcing them to toughen up
reverse sweepie possible
that was destruction from paris after point a
ye they dabbed on em
why the hell are all the pov 15 seconds ahead
it's always like that
ameng fed rip
OOF
what is this big jebait
lose ameng at choke
ameng comes back surprised after 3 secs
its still anyones game here
Ameng does not fed. He merely sets up his death for the victory of the battle
👌🏿
will the bunker score them a full hold
Pog
I love to see this
Time for Paris to go get "Lunch and a Walk"
Can't wait to see Jane's commentary, surprised he didn't stream
!players hunters
Else is a off tank. Imagine your a coach and ask ur off tank to play symm
that their hero pool is so big is great for them
Lmaoo😂😂
I don't think YXL has actually gotten to the US yet, his Visa is cleared but travelling
it was confirmed a few days ago he was going to the US and clear
but theres no actual confirmation hes back
Yeah I know he's clear.
he is support
was he always here?
drake_clapping.gif
Oh. You didn't know about Garry from accounting?
I know garry from spongebob
Ameng is just swinging.
you dont spawn camp ameng
THIS CHAD
yeah and hes dead
roadhog was well used from boston today
There was Roadhog play during the Philly game on Junkertown earlier.
nice, ive only been able to watch this match, so it's good to see hog getting a bit of play time
I guess I need to rewatch this game? only been able to watch Rialto
come on hunters, get your 1st 4-0
i saw like 4s of hanamura cuz i saw twitch chat spamming 90000iq
I want old roadhog back with some of the changes.
Can heal while moving, 4 shots, higher damage, lower firing speed, current hook.
I like the grab and kill rather than the spammy nature of him now. He is just a giant target instead of a legit threat
He is just a giant target instead of a legit threat
Course what do I know, I haven't played more than 5 hours in like 6 months
this is all roadhog
WHERE DID THE BOMB GO
roadhog will nveer not be this
he can sometimes get picks, sure
but he'll never not be an ult battery
holy Pog
that kind of logic doesnt apply to the yottachad
nvm he has it
Paris sucks
wtf
and now hunters will full hold
they trans to early
just save trans for grav. don't think its over yet. that is what NYXL does good
Holy Jinmu
lol
lool soon lucio
WHAT IS CLOUDY DOING
Should've gone for the squishes sooner
