WHEN WILL THEY LEARN

Jake gonna snack the desk again
Houstons ult management is their only strong point

After watching these games in Dallas, I must say that I'm VERY excited for OWL 2020!
@outer sluice heres the salt
spree built grav far too slow
???
unless he used it earlier
he needed more damage early on
idk if you noticed but its very hard to build grav like this
JAYNE
they gave him bunny ears
Akm betraying france 😤

Zachafeed
im still surprised Zach has supporters
is he that young or did he fail a grade
hes p young
Prolly the latter
i graduated highschool at 19..
Ppl graduate high school at 17 here x d
not that i dropped a grade. i started school a year late
i thought people graduate at 18
OGE you can understand the question lol
jesus that map 4
people graduate at 17/18
i guess Korean is common in Dallas
depends when your birthday is
only predicting 2 matchs incorrectly this weekend
either earlier or later in the year
yeah dallas korean community is pretty big i hear
did they even shake the other teams hand???
❤
Aero x d

jezz they are like this is grand finals..
i have shitty speaker
Matching shoes
oge is too pure for this world

So cutes ❤
Cutes owo
19th 
Outlaws are out 
dragons are doing better
Yay watchpoint
btw, whoever said LA was playing like dragons, pls eat ur words. dragons have been doing pretty good
i feel pretty bad for the outlaws fans
well Valiant is playing like the Dragons from season 1
losing to a c9 is not the way to go
that was an amazing game

everyone is a winner
https://twitter.com/ESPN_Esports/status/1122671753975746561 espn got their own casters lol
#TheFirstHomeGame comes to a close with a @DallasFuel win!
We break down the whole weekend live from Dallas with @ArdaOcalTV, @FionnOnFire, the sax guy and the @DallasStars mascot. Watch here on Twitter or the ESPN App!
everything is a c9 these days.. lol
Annoys the shit out of me
JEFF
so far im 70% accurate at predicting who wins and 36% accurate at the correct score of the wins i predicted right
It wasnt a C9 plat chat
ok people
well im gonna watch the beginning matches since i missed it
GEOFF JEFF GEOFF JEFF
how do you NOT admire OGE's evolution?
That sleep dart to protect akm reminded of ryu
he's improved so much so fast, and he's a top main tank rn
this ESPN what is live is fun aswell, achilios interview
Weird one of the casters from espn predicted upset and so did i
of Hunters ?
Ye

finally chengdu didnt let me down
did hunters make the playoffs?
They gotta win there last match to get in
that is the only one i got wrong today
There 3-3 in stage
cant watch the post show cuz i havent even finished seeing the gamess
And i dont kno whos there last match
the texas match didn't disappoint that's for sure
atl has got some big shoes to fill in
Chengdu plays valiant
THEY MAKE PLAYOFFS
@balmy wolf you wont be disapointed i promise
Coke is the official sponsor of my diabetes.
Home games looked absolutely crazy, I'm sure there's gonna be lots of problems along the way but im so hyped for 2020.
So good in season 1 that they chose the finals in NY
will there be more OWL expansion teams in 2020?
Its weird not even 10 minutes into homestand power went out yesterday
@strong cairn Season 4 probs
And i also predicted that
https://twitter.com/A_Seagull/status/1122673034148495360 (was streaming on twitch btw)
I had so much fun hanging out with everyone watching @DallasFuel own today. I'm totally gonna do more of that in the future for hype games, hope you all enjoyed it :D
256
@strong cairn season 4 atter teams have settled into home markets
no new teams for 2020 since they confirmed to focus on home games
season 3 is an make or break moment for OWL
so 2021
basically
and i'll be an old man
im surprised houston put up such a fight
Season 3 is gonna be expensive for nate and crew
ah so more local arenas next season
well fewer people are playing OW... soo...
if OWL gets good TV viewership, then their fine
OWL is a slow step to the future. we have a esports that girls, guys, woman, man, dad and kids watch. first esports on American cable tv ABC. We have famous faces who visit OW esports and the first succesfull aswell Big esports event in Texas!
Owl is the only saving grace for ow itself
also OWL is a money maker
Major money maker
makes me wonder if this is how MLB and NFL started.. all the teams in diffrent cities all played in the same stadium..
that's the reason why they created it the 1st place
and
imagine talking to old man and tell them stuff they dont understand. they make deals. I have seen Nate interviews and how he tells why OWL is a thing I understand why big companies was to do partnerships
besides that we don't even see alot how the fans in China are.
checks for Tokens since Twitch isn't showing drops.
OWWC in France, China was good. Even Thailand was pog (besides some issues they learn from like they learn from the Dallas matches) this season home games are kinda like tests and they learn from it for the future
idk i think something's up with token drops... i should have almost 800 tokens, i have 796. need 3 more...
I mean no one really expected a power outage lel, other than some minor mistakes, this was perfect
I left, my gran was waiting for 2 hours in the parking lot
Fun
yeah and the one up in Atlanta sounds even more amazing than the arena in Huston
the power problem was not just in the arena. but the first person color difference what was on the first match. but they could change it later on so thats great
i mean Dallas
I think the latter was caused by the first
ATL have most bits donated on twitch. more money spend does not say alot and alot of ATL fans are not just from ATL but could be pog aswell
just dont think LA Valiant home game will be that big
maybe san fran will be big
this season will have ATL and LAV and I wonder how 2020 will go, but after today im more hyped for it
Wait
LAV getting homestand game lol
LA is getting a bigger arena
weird ass fuckin homestand place
when blizzard arena is in LA
maybe couldve done an asian place
well LA is a big ass place
or NY
I even askes what that “LA home game” means to someone on twitch. Idk who I guess danteh. I remember his response like “I don’t even know why”
not NEARLY has hostile as soccer fans around the world
The Dallas Homestand was an incredible experience. One of my favorite Overwatch events for sure. The crowd was roaring and it reminded me of the old APEX finals I cast. Congrats to Dallas. Great play by Houston. Thanks to all the fans who came to watch live!
when are we getting Florida homestand lol
Comcast is building an esports arena down by the stadiums in Philly.
so im assuming our homestead matches will be there.
Theres a rumor going around that Floyd Mayweather was here
Dude I was sitting near got a picture of someone that looks like him
In these BIG ass gold chains
I think it’s Miami
they wanted to be called miami mayhem but that name is already taken
Actually I think it’s both Miami and Orlando but there main headquarters is Miami
On the website there listed as just miami @copper solstice
Florida mayhem probably rolls off the tounge better then the miami mayhem
Would br Miami?
does anyone watch overwatch contenders?
not most people watch contenders, however theres more variety in team comps and theres some talent waiting to go to owl but age are holding then back so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@celest wigeon our production is local for Contenders Pacific
perhaps one of the least watched regions but like South America you gotta love it for the talent closer to home that is yet to make it
Alemao from boston uprising came from NA South America
weird how chengdu lost to spark but won against London
Lenn-
To be fair the Spark are still higher up in the rankings, ninth overall
Could’ve just been an off night
If the titans don’t get 4-0ed by Seoul they’ll be the top team in the League next week
So...yeah the titans will be the top team in the league next week 😂
Basically Chengdu is inconsistent
chengdu doing atlanta proud
Chengdu is inconsistent but still much less so than teams like Atlanta
atlanta was good until dafran left and now they are a mess
they win games when they are less tilted and stay that way
but then they get tilted against ez teams and lose
i feel bad for the team because I want them to do well because i genuinely like them
yeah
Ehh
I dont think Dafran leaving was a main cause
Babybay is a comparable Zarya to his
Especially the same in
Questionable gravs
And whiffs
no i think that losing dafran was more of a psycological thing
Atlanta is just inconsistent
Now that they have Daco
Theyre somewhat cleaner
And honestly
ATL wasnt THAT good even in Stage 1
Theyre around the same tier list in reality
People just rated them higher when they beat teams that were sorta looking good start of stage 1
Ok sort of a lie
All eyes were on the team because of dafran's popularity and now that it's gone, they can focus on proving themselves without him. Will they do it? No clue. Haven't seen anything promising out of the members.
Still inconsistent first stage
dafran and babybay are almost the same
They are a flat mid tier team
as a atlanta fan a true blood atlanta sports fan the reign are the empitamy of mid table teams
i needa put there logo in my discord pic
I think that
We only acknowledged Atlanta as so good in stage one
Because we saw them doing crazy things (mostly with dafran) like the Hollywood Zarya over the roof and the Torb
Crazy things ehhh maybe
And they were working
And it just generated so much hype we ignored the reality
the crazy things were pretty effective.
ngl I’ve been practicing on my own to try to duplicate the Zarya roof hop 😂
dafran's only regret was not getting a hammer kill.
Crazy now is what normal is to Chengdu
And that’s why everyone loves the Hunters 😂
It's good that dafran left. I have a feeling that if he stayed, he would have repeated what he did before.
Intentionally throw and then get banned from OW.
One time in his stream, he admitted that he abhors coordinated play. He loves to flank and feel alive through it.
if Dafran stayed he was likely to become xqc
Idk
I’m honestly just wondering when the next time we’ll see DPS Bumper is
ive gotten over my dafran salt now that we pulled off that nyxl upset
i hope we get the match and prove it wasnt a fluke
Titans is making NYXL look like 2018 dallas fuel.
NYXL is oddly inconsistent once again
I can’t figure out how NYE has lost the games it has
They were too reliant on their dps delivering over and over again.
No it feels like they just were in ladder
The teamplay was not there
At all
Thats how it always goes with scuffed NYXL
Always look their worst when they lose
Never their best
That’s because their best 4-0s everyone
NYXL just needs to hire a team ambulance.
To save them from all the choking hazards.
oof
Still dont know how to rate Chengdu
Lose to Spark win against London
Theyre prob like
10-9
Spark on the other hand
Uhh
Weird place to rate them
Cause idk
China has weird teams I guess
So basically 99% of the time at this rate
Cause theyre avoiding goats like its a disease
They just get hard shut down by a good coordinatrf Sombra
And a really good Bunker
Like Eichenwalde C
Where they played
Fuckin hammond
Ypu could see they thought about going goats in Rialto B
But they just said fuck it
Fury Sombra cant beat Jinmu
I can see that
well they also full held on Eichenwalde
and London can't play against a pharah apparently
They dont exactly have a great pharah I guess
I mean they had 2 snipers
But Jinmu played really well thid time
And actually dodged with surroundings
Let's say their half and half
Jinmu declared profit was a trash pharah and ignored him most of echienwalde
They more shine when the other team is uncomfortable running anything but Goats.
Look at the majority of their losses.
What about Spark?
Spark can run non-Goats.
So they understand the way Chengdu plays better than a team that hasnt' flexed off it since Season 2 began.
I.E. London.
they go into the what the fuck are you tier
Basically Shanghai dps is fucking insane
Decay is really good on Sombra
And Godxue and Krystal
Krystal : stay in?
Coaches : no, Adora
Krystal : Understandable have a nice 37% winrate

Dallas secures with a win (likely)
Fuel most likely take Spark in standing
All spark wins are 3-2s
Wtf literal boston
Oh ok
So Shanghai gets in
If Chengdu gets in its bye bye Spark
Then again
Seoul has Titans
Spark need a 5th win, otherwise their map score won't get them in
I think it'll be Chengdu as 8th
they play LAV
What is wrong with spark?
As a team I mean
@floral light
Blame guxue? And Nosmite?
lol no
Guxue's Rein is good enough
They are not even like they did
They dping quite badly which shouldn't happen
I feel bad for Baconjack.
Because as YXL gets more integrated you can tell he's going to be benched, and thats sad because he's really good.
Also
Guxue speaks more than basic korean, you casuals 😛
YXL is kinda same with Baconjack
But his dps is def more appealing to see in Chengdu
dont ignore the fact chengdu gets into playoffs
considering they have a 65% chance to beat the valiant
hangzhou will also beat seoul
57%
Shanghai will be 50-50 on if they get to playoffs, too.
Basically
imagine 3 cn teams getting into stage playoffs
They'll end up being 4-3 most likely.
Unfortunately we cant have all of them
Unless they upset shock.
If Shanghai upset Shock
Happiest day of my OWL viewing life
I think they have somrwhat of a chance
I think they have a better chance thanmost.
they just have to not opt into san frans playstyle
Just because they're scrim partners.
if they do go goats they have to be hyper aggresive
Shanghai has Washington then Shock, Chengdu has Valiant.
Dallas gets lucky and has Florida.
all 4 of my favorite teams could get into stage playoffs
Seoul has Vancouver and Shock.
Spark
did they fix tiebreakers?
Looks like the map wins aren't close.
Though Spark/Chengdu/Shanghai could get touchy.
Actually.
Spark would have to 4-0 Seoul to even come close to touchy.
So I'd assume Spark is most likely out unless a major crazy upset against Seoul.
yeah
and since Philly is playing Shock, I'd assume 8th place will go to either Dragons or Hunters
and I pick Hunters
IT depends on who wins by how much.
Assuming Shanghai can 4-0 Washington, which they easily could, they'd be 4-2, and +7.
So the shock results would be the decider.
Chengdu 4-0's LAV they're 4-3, and +6.
So Shanghai would have to make the Shock game 3-2, and they'd tie.
And everyone wins
Since we get another Shanghai + Chengdu game
I doubt Chengdu 4-0'ing Valiant though, if Valiant continues to play like they have the last two weeks.
Chengdu will still win.
But I'm expecting more a 3-1 situation.
Spark is out
So they'd be at +5, which means Shock would need to 4-0 Shanghai.
We could also get an upset from the Florida Dallas game.
Ehhh
It's unlikely but if anyone chokes as much as NYXL its Dallas.
So both Chengdu and Shanghai cant get in at same time
Unless Dallas chokes
Unless they do the physically unlikely
Still have money on Paris
how much?

GLADS 3-1 BOSTON
me
Wow you really reachin
there's this whole problem whenever I need to think about houston
becuase while they are a solid team
they aren't winning matches anytime
but based on historical evidence
houston is one of several teams now including shanghai and chengdu
that make london look overrated
Fusion vs Shock
that would be a huge upset in the standings if carpe can scream winnable loud enough
Charge looks promising
Doom Goats is really fun and viable
Shu is a monster
Rio is bumper esque
Houston is meh but their ult rotation is their strongest point
@sullen berry houston over london?
yikes
i know which predictions not to trust
lmfao
@sullen berry your a mad man
an absolutely mad man
- florida over dallas
- boston over lag
3.houston over london
4.nyxl over atlanta
you are a man who fears nothing
Nyxl over atlanta not that much of a stretch
If nyxl still scuffed then like yeah
But normal nyxl shouldnt perform thatcshittily
atlanta will more then likely use the same stratergy they did first time around
foucs jjonak or mano
focus*
itll be a 3-2 at best
for both sides
Eh
also the fact you think london wont bounce back and handle buisness against london slightly offends me lmao
I think youre underestimating and overestimating at the same time
im basing off of what i saw in the last match
the fact atlanta won shows that ok we have potential
then guangzhou happened
but i remain faithful to my boys
well looks like my job is done here
TIL during the 30s interstitials between maps they played the Fuel House theme
https://youtu.be/ZyDlqvWDiUw
Come on in and meet the cast of Fuel House in what might be the best theme song of all time. Shoes off, please. New episodes Sundays.
Every. Single. Time.
Without knowing what the show is even about, that can't be fun to hear for the 30th time in one weekend
It wasn't that bad @sullen berry it's not that long and most people were on their phones or talking during the ad.
Plus the skits were actually kinda funny
oh I'm not bothered by the skits
I wish they could have seized a rare moment to share jack in the box ads that are out of date
custa's eating at in-n-out instead
Boston reverse sweeps
Wouldn't surprise me
Also Boston needs a better hitscan dps
Or a 3rd dps for that matter
Why did they sign Persia
yes and decay has insane zarya and dps
roar has proven himself to be able to hold his own against better main tanks
actually i change my mind
boston has a torb hammer kill
thats too op
absolutely love this https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D5Ru7g9WkAEVXSw.jpg
@north tendon anamo mercy underrated, doomfist pine activated
exactly
GZ home venue is being prepped for 2020
Some exciting venues for a stadium that's going to have a large Chinese crowd
NA travel visas are going to be the biggest oof next year
Cool art
cant lie tho toronto defiant is good
Toronto defiant is Not good LOL
what do you mean
they are great and theyll start off with a better roster next season
they won one game in this stage
and it was against washington
they lost to dallas shock boston philly
their current roster needs time
They werent shit but they werent amazing either
Ivys Zarya is really good but idk how im37 fits in yet
i kinda overrated them into this stage cause i was thinking they were gonna start steam rolling like san fran is doing
andddddd poop
why would you think that
cause ivy wasnt a bad zarya he was in the top 10 for zaryas
so my thought is ok..hes gonna improve
signs 37
He was good but the rest of the team is kinda meh
Neko is ok Yakpung meh
nani?
Aid and Roki are meh
there tank line is the main problem
if your tanks arent good or aggresive your bad at goats
its kinda like houstons situation
espect houston is just bad overall
Yakpung is defensive af but still dies a ton
feel he tries to carry alot
Yeah but hes really passive sometimes
sign cloneman or get Panker
hes korean right? sp
cloneman has a aggresive rein a fraggi like rein and thats why i like him
but can he speak korean
probably not cause he lives with jayne
so he doesnt fit with the Korean Defiant
some owl scout teams are questionable
but we cant question Huk and crew cause they got motormouth fusions
yeah but what team would you put him om
i cant think of one off the top of my head
maybe washington
i know janus was expensive but he hasnt been amazing
potential teams: la valiant boston [back up] guangzhou [back up]
guangzhou despite going full korean knows engrish so
weird cause rio is the weak link
chara litterally jumped off the cliff
despite guangzhou having one of the more pleasing logos ive always looked at there roster and said MEH
Happy is a good widow
shu is a god at flex support
kyb is pretty good
thats about it
is onlywish 18 yet
also dont know how theyre going to intergrate Nero
nero is a hitscan dps right
not a single clue lmao...some of theese players i know for there consistent pop offs
then you have someone like nero who i didnt even know was on the roster
they might try him out on zarya
but happy and Rio can communicate better
nero wont be in the starting 6 for a while
wonder why happy hasnt come back i guess hes mega sick
hey you know contenders
square one team
their name and icon makes me wonder
nevermind
anyway i could see more info about their team?
imagine getting mad at a chad v virgin meme
.......y e s
Honestly my favorite thing from the homestead games was hearing the crowd
“Sooooooooooooon”
And the twitch chat asking
“Why are they booing??”
Anyone in the UK signing up for Arena Clash Overwatch? 😄

lul gladiators ez clap
there is a high chance that 3 teams will go winless this stage
and 3 will go without losing
lol
Houston "should" win against the Charge.
but they might not is the thing
they ran spree on zarya and danteh on dva instead of the other way around
If they know they're going to run GOATS, they need to just play coolmatt on Dva full time
coolmatt?
Except they cant
takes its toll
I see Charge possibly winning Houston
Might be tough
But I think theyll pull it off
boston has a better team and they have probably spent less money
Having watched Houston this past weekend, I expect them to lose
They've been playing like shit
if houston made slight upgrades in very department other then main tank and dps they might have a decent team
linkzr, danteh and muma are good
every where else is lacking
If they want flexibility in the zarya roll, I don't know why they don't play Linkzer more
and just play coolmatt all the time
They don't have a good brig on their team
and their best zarya is a tank flex
they're flexible in the wrong areas for this meta
yep
they just need a good off tank in general
one that can flex to dps when needed
but they play jake over him most of the time
their own problem
Also its double edged, because they need Jakes communication and other flex pools.
Since Arhan has only looked good on Brig.
And shit on everything else.
insert Houston player has only looked good on insert Hero here
And shit on everything else
maybe sans Muma
Rawkus's Ana has been terrible this stage
Better than his Zen atleast
I think his Zen has been loads better than his Ana
Granted, his Zen is average compared to the rest of the league
but his Ana is terrible
Minus Brig Jakes looked good on most heroes, Danteh has as well. Its just everyone else.
I'd argue that Danteh's Zarya is meh, but I concur
the problem is that there's no reason to play Jake if his brig is terrible.
Junkrat and Pharah are only map-specific at this point
I think his Zarya is meh because they haven't buckled down.
It's stage two of season two and they still don't have a set comp
Danteh has played nearly everything on the team now but support
Including both Zarya and D'va.
For a guy like Jake I woulf expect him to be better at brig
His feed is a bit different than others though.
I think part of Jakes feed is miscommunication with Muma.
Because Jake plays aggressively for the bashes, and tends to die when Muma drops back or into side rooms (which he does a lot)
So if the movement isn't communicated well between the two you leave your Brig out to die.
Charge will be a tough opponent
Eileen is pretty good
Shu and Rio are carries
Chara tends to be the weak link
Happy is inconsistently decent
Rio and chara -> weak link
Happy has been playing?
Last time i checked he was sick
Happy played last game?
Rio I think with Shu support plays well
Hes kinda like another Bumper
Nero is not 18 yet afaik
So no opinion yet
I think Nero will replace happy once he can play
Just like how decay replaced S4
But on a smaller scale
Has anyone else noticed the lack of signing/trading this season
There was a lot last season compared to this year
But it doesn't seem like anyone but the mayhem are looking for players
Houstons poor
Atlanta is sufficient
Spark is fine with Krystal
Chengdu is stacked
So is Charge
I guess washington has a budget
A budget of subs
But they have actual good players
Its just the teamwork is like ladder
They have 5 support players
They need a new off tank
Seoul might not let Zunba go for cheap
I know
But he probably won't get play time this season
Michelle looks way better
^
Paris is stuck too though.
Because their thing is being the EU team.
So its not like they'll go for Zunba.
Oh.
Thing is Sleepy would be the only english player
Back to Corey syndrome
Who do just as much.
Sansam is one of the only players who shows consistent improvement, so you don't need to overly replace him.
I'd say something like Davin would work. The problem is, and Brad from Atlanta explained it well, the visa times are so fucked now.
You don't want someone from not the US.
I think you'll see a cleaning house when Kate leaves
You know for CMs they tend to show the most assholeness in them
Expect more OWL -> OWL and NA contenders.
Eh I still argue Kates stuff was 90% hearsay.
But reddit/twitch bandwagon.
And the Harsha thing is 100% on Harsha if its true.
Because someone who drops their job without having already signed the contract in the new job is just a moron.
I don't care if you're the Pope, Mother Teresa and Martin Luther King all in one.
Thats just a dumb fuck move.
And you deserve it
People, especially on reddit, just like to paint pictures of someones stupidity as someone else taking advantage.
I gave it an additional 30% because the person who started all the shit was MykL.
Yeah, Halo is getting just as bad lately though.
He's filling the weird MykL out of left field void.
These nicknames are great:
Surefour: Princess Four (high-pitched yells while streaming. Also his name sounds like a big maxi pad brand in China; unlucky)
@pearl stratus where did you find that lol
Poor Tviq.
Even in China Tviq is still Bus Driver.
Tviq driving that bus brought together nations in unity.
fusions tho
Unfortunately it also lost him his job either way.
Pepehands
I think he'll be lucky if he gets signed to a contenders team
His career might be over sadly
@minor flame there were three korean players that disapeared from a roster benchmob rumors are on there way to owl
Gargoyle Karagayan? And one more
And mykl is terrible since he abadoned his viewers for fortnite money
Harsha is still a good coach even if he walked out on washington Just imagine how clean washington would he if he didnt walk out
I thought Harsha was with the Titans
he is
the story goes is that he was verbally offered a job with WASH but Kate withdrew it
Technically its still a rumored story.
I know about that
But he ended up all the better, so it worked out for him.
It would have sucked if he didn't find another coaching job after that incident
Since Wizard isn't exactly working magic.
From an outside perspective I don't give him much credit for Vancouver, I don't really give much of their coaches a lot of credit.
I see it more in the way Janus plays offensively.
And how badly it doesn't work without the pre-built talent behind it.
yeah
