[tropic herald]

Boston has had a bunch of rough matches

[jovial fiber]

ye

by what does eliminated mean

[dapper lantern]

no playoffs

[tropic herald]

They can’t be on stage playoffs

[blazing parrot]

cannot qualify for stage playoffs

[jovial fiber]

O

K

[blazing parrot]

yeah boston are pretty shit rn

[jovial fiber]

Fusions for paris

[blazing parrot]

proud of the Outlaws though 😃

[tropic herald]

Titans have also clinched overall playoffs

[blazing parrot]

^

[jovial fiber]

Ark look gangsta

[tropic herald]

Boston’s players aren’t bad but their management is supposedly horrible

[blazing parrot]

well yeah huk is a bitch

[jovial fiber]

They sell all their players

They could be top tier

[tropic herald]

They could’ve

[blazing parrot]

yeah lets look at this a sec

[tropic herald]

They might be trading Aimgod too

[blazing parrot]

striker - gone

[tropic herald]

Bc money

[blazing parrot]

note - gone

[jovial fiber]

ye aimgod isn’t getting any playtime

[blazing parrot]

dreamkapzer - kid clapper

[jovial fiber]

Fusions was supposed to go to valiant

[tropic herald]

Fusions wants out

[blazing parrot]

neko - gone

fusions - attempted to be traded by org

[tropic herald]

But no teams needs an English main tank

[blazing parrot]

boston's management are pieces of shit

[jovial fiber]

they just want money

[blazing parrot]

for them its money first, winning second

[jovial fiber]

[blazing parrot]

only the top 7 have positive map differentials

thanks to the shock and titans

wait

where is semmler's beard

[tropic herald]

Shaved

[blazing parrot]

how long has he not had that for

[dapper lantern]

a while.

[jovial fiber]

Semmler is a snack

[blazing parrot]

[tropic herald]

At least the stage

[blazing parrot]

nananana

he was a snacc with his beard

[tropic herald]

I had a talk with someone earlier and they told me dive doesn’t work against a bastion bunker

[blazing parrot]

for first 4 matches

you dont say

dive gets fucking shredded

[tropic herald]

:/

[blazing parrot]

wait how do you see it lol

[jovial fiber]

I thought masaa Korean tf

[tropic herald]

Do you know what dive is for?

[dapper lantern]

🤔

[jovial fiber]

Masaa a highlight

[blazing parrot]

yea

[dapper lantern]

carpe looks constipated

[blazing parrot]

picking off 1 member, or isolating them

[dapper lantern]

or like he would rather be somewhere else

[tropic herald]

A planned dive works on bunker

[blazing parrot]

thats almost impossible when a coordinated team is running bunker

really depends

if there's a hog or something

that's unlikely to work

[tropic herald]

On paper even if you don’t win the dry fights of dive, it just has better ults

[blazing parrot]

ofc

but at the same time

[jovial fiber]

Daco wit dem braces

[blazing parrot]

the ability to pick off one person before the fight even gets going

is op af

thats why bunker is ladder meta rn

[tropic herald]

But now we have GOATs

Yay

[blazing parrot]

oh shit yeah

two goats teams

[jovial fiber]

Dafran issues

[blazing parrot]

[clear crane]

lol feedman again

[visual glen]

Looks like today we get Dogshit rather than Pogman

[dapper lantern]

oof

[supple prism]

not that it matters against Fusion goats

[clear crane]

fusion literally has to do anything but try goats

[echo quest]

well

[balmy wolf]

holy hell that was so winnable

this match is already garbage

[echo quest]

At least philly will be pog next year

[visual glen]

[pearl stratus]

Crying about Goats at this point isn't on OWL.

[supple prism]

Fusion should be able to pick up more wins if they developed a dps comp to play against goats instead

[pearl stratus]

Thats just on Philly being shit.

Especially on that map

Which we've seen DPS on by EVERY other team

Including Vancouver.

[vagrant niche]

@pearl stratus yo where tf you been bruh? i missed your community rantings

[echo quest]

Changsik,Bernar,Carpe,EQO,Alarm and Neptuno is lit bois

[pearl stratus]

Only cared about the Shanghai game yesterday.

The rest were whatever matches by teams I don't care about.

[blazing parrot]

That London and NYXL game was amazing

[vagrant niche]

ah i went to sleep around that time since it was pretty late for me

[pearl stratus]

Shanghai had the two best games of the week imo.

Diem KSF dueling, Dding Agilities dueling, Diem dicking Surefour, etc.

[vagrant niche]

isn't it looking likely they will make it to this stage playoffs?

[pearl stratus]

Shanghai?

They basically already have.

[echo quest]

they made it last stage

[pearl stratus]

The loss to LAV was unexpected

But so was beating LAG.

So it balanced out.

[echo quest]

they lost to lav damn

[pearl stratus]

LAV played insane.

Watch that match if you didn't.

[proven saddle]

Yesterday was pretty good besides shock vs mayhem

[pearl stratus]

KSF put on a widow clinic and Kariv was literally handing out naps like he was Mike Tyson.

If you like Ana even a little bit, watch Kariv vs. Shanghai.

Dude had what.. 35 sleeps?

[clear crane]

LAV finally hitting the stride ppl thought they can

@overwatchleague @BrenCasts Bren = plat trash

Twitter

[clear crane]

makes me happy as a Val fan haha. been dealing with so much trash talking

[pearl stratus]

It looks, to me at least, from the outside that Coach Moon and Fate definitely were causing some issues of cohesion with the team.

Because since picking up FCTFCTN and Shax they've looked -really- good.

[tropic herald]

Poke battle haHAA

[clear crane]

which is weird cause besides losing soon, it was the same team that got the 2nd seed last year

[pearl stratus]

And its not just using dps, they look great on dps

[vagrant niche]

Soon is benched now

[pearl stratus]

But they actually look cohesive for the first time this season.

The same thing happened to Houston Legacy.

If you don't deal with your issues they eventually bite you in your ass.

[jovial fiber]

3 more tokens

[vagrant niche]

Babybay looking more solid on gravs today

[clear crane]

Both teams owned by Immortals peaking same time

Dogman is balancing it out by looking even more like shit.

Babybay "I'll play better."

Dogman "Hold my beer."

[jovial fiber]

Endoken how many skins u got

Or u just don’t bother

[vagrant niche]

i got like more thank 1.2k+

[pearl stratus]

Only like 5-6, not counting All-star.

[jovial fiber]

o ok

[pearl stratus]

I only get the skins if they don't have a skin I like better.

So I've got some Brig, some Sombra, a wrecking ball or two.

[jovial fiber]

That’s what I’m going through

[vagrant niche]

my ball skin is Ameng for sure

[pearl stratus]

I think I also have Soldier and Pharah.

[tawny sigil]

you think toyota and state farm knows you're leaving the stream up along with thousands of people?... i think they dont

[vagrant niche]

and my Zarya is dafran

[pearl stratus]

Yeah, Toyota and State Farm would invest money without any logical research.

[jovial fiber]

These tweets

[vagrant niche]

then i have a crapton of Mayhem skins cause i'm plat chat like them

[jovial fiber]

Toyota in 2019

[pearl stratus]

Do you think most of the people who make stupid comments realize how disappointing they are to their parents?

[tawny sigil]

the only data on OWL is conducted by blizzard, which is a conflict of interest

[jovial fiber]

[jovial fiber]

I do 2

[vagrant niche]

cause i can watch what i wish my game would be like

cause there's teamwork etc

[jovial fiber]

Tru

I might get a genji owl skin

[vagrant niche]

if your genji is as bad as mines, you should get the akm skin one

then your akm blades will be justified

[jovial fiber]

No bully akm

[vagrant niche]

it's sad when you talk about the league or players on the game, a lot of the people don't even know who you are talking about

oh i have Guxue winston skin too

[tropic herald]

I got ATL torb

[vagrant niche]

and SBB's tracers

[jovial fiber]

I just have NYXL skins tbh

as nyxl best team

[vagrant niche]

but i prefer to roll with Logix instead

[tropic herald]

doubt

[jovial fiber]

Logix 🗿

[clear crane]

jeez

[vagrant niche]

i will get the Jjonak skin too

since i always buy all those special skins etc

[jovial fiber]

The new one?

[jovial fiber]

[vagrant niche]

i have too much tokens

[jovial fiber]

I ain’t buying it

[vagrant niche]

way more than i can spend them

i don't buy

[jovial fiber]

I will be gone by the time I get enough

[vagrant niche]

i never spent money on overwatch more than my 40 dollar account during open beta

[jovial fiber]

ok

[vagrant niche]

heck, i even have the lucio emote too

you just get too much tokens

[supple prism]

congrats?

[vagrant niche]

brb

[dapper lantern]

I bought 50 loot boxes for the events when they were first released and haven’t since then. I’ve always been ahead of the curve because I unlocked a lot of the base items early on and then when they updated the boxes to prevent dupes, it was even better for me

[jovial fiber]

eh

[dapper lantern]

So I pretty much unlock everything with currency alone now due to loot boxes always having dupes

[jovial fiber]

tru

Loot boxes unreliable

[dapper lantern]

as far as tokens go, I’ve never bought them. they’ve always been earned from just watching and falling asleep on some matches lmao

[jovial fiber]

Token farming :)))

[tawny sigil]

yeah you swing around that 500$ ear piece

[blazing parrot]

DRAGONS AND NYXL ARE GONNA THRASH LUL

[supple prism]

i have collected 94% of the hero gallery so far without spending money past the 40 for the game

[jovial fiber]

Wait kyb is a brutha?

[blazing parrot]

[dapper lantern]

the only thing I’m usually missing for characters is the golden gun

[blazing parrot]

how many gold guns has everyone got at this point lol

[supple prism]

[dapper lantern]

I have 7

[blazing parrot]

im close to silver border

im so shit at typing lol

[tawny sigil]

im close to gold border and i have 1500 unopened lootbox,... oh sorry i mean 1500 Surprise mechanics

[dapper lantern]

I remember those days too

gold felt like it lasted forever

for some reason

[supple prism]

oh man, im almost to gold border

[vagrant niche]

[jovial fiber]

Rank tho

[supple prism]

[normal fractal]

3 gravs wasted in one round

[minor flame]

what

[clear crane]

wow

[minor flame]

is philly good or is atl just inconsistently shite

[clear crane]

When I thought Atl couldnt look worst than Phi on this

[trim shadow]

Why am i not suprised

[balmy wolf]

atl plays up or down depending on the team

[trim shadow]

I think la valiant loss numbed me

yep thats doggo out of position again

yep pokpo is feeding

yep babybay is doing nothing

[clear crane]

yeeeeeet

[supple prism]

lol, mid match waving to each other

[balmy wolf]

and they somehow lose the point

and wasted shatter as well

[tropic herald]

ATL plays as good as the enemy plays lol

[balmy wolf]

and philly just threw that entire point away

[clear crane]

i dont get why phi doesnt at last attempt to try fragi

is the connection between him and carpe tat bad

[supple prism]

at this point i dont think its gonna improve anything since they probably dont even scrim together

[tropic herald]

Carpe doesn't like fragile for some reason

but if they want to run decent goats they should try fragi

[clear crane]

Sado is so bad

[supple prism]

and carpe just sitting on grav

[vagrant niche]

Fusion and map 5

name a more iconic duo

[clear crane]

LOL

[upper niche]

@tropic herald Probably because he lost them map 3 (and the series) against NYXL in the Stage 2 final 😉

[clear crane]

Prob the most exciting thing that will happen tat weekend

[upper niche]

You can identify with pinpoint accuracy the point that Fragi charged in like he thought they had won for sure, and from that moment it was just a complete steamroll with NYXL picking it back up and flipping the series around.

[clear crane]

ezclap

[vagrant niche]

that match is going to be super fast

bren is going to get smoked so hard

like it's going to be over

at least that isn't an issue yet then I guess

[trim shadow]

oh i believe it decays but the bug with rally stacking issue is still there

[clear crane]

it does decay

[visual glen]

Mccree prob back in meta

hes insane

[minor flame]

ehhhhh

[blazing parrot]

eh

maybe

[minor flame]

meh

[blazing parrot]

doubt it tbh

[minor flame]

mccree will only be used in like

pharah triple dps comp counter

[blazing parrot]

next patch's meta is gonna be really cool

[tardy fable]

nah

[minor flame]

eh

[clear crane]

maybe not in owl

[minor flame]

i think its just gonna be the same except more bunker

[blazing parrot]

Because we already got some variation

[clear crane]

but in ladders rn both teams have at least one mccree

[tardy fable]

if 2-2-2 was ever forced it would be orisa hog zen ana widow and hanzo

[balmy wolf]

mccree too squishy

[tardy fable]

in owl

[blazing parrot]

idk

[tardy fable]

hanzo is still better then mccree in every situation

[balmy wolf]

or widow

[minor flame]

still even in unchanged next patch

[normal fractal]

"first person action game"

[minor flame]

nothings really gonna change except that

bunker is gonna be way more apparent

[blazing parrot]

i figure that pro teams would learn how to counter it somehow

[tardy fable]

goats?

[blazing parrot]

na

bunker

[tardy fable]

oh bunkers broken

[blazing parrot]

ik

[tardy fable]

only counter is going sombra and pressing q

[clear crane]

yayy boombox

[blazing parrot]

but thats ladder

[minor flame]

no thats both

[tardy fable]

^

[balmy wolf]

bunker is pretty powerful rn even in OWL

[blazing parrot]

wll we havent seen bunker much in owl yet

[tardy fable]

goats is going to be meta until lucio gets nerfed

[minor flame]

everyone complaining about sombra rn but rn sombra is the only thing standing in the way of bunker becoming dom meta

[blazing parrot]

^

[tardy fable]

lucio is the only reason goats works

[blazing parrot]

I like watching sombra lol

[normal fractal]

@tardy fable nah it'd be clockwork comp

[tardy fable]

whats clockwork compo

[minor flame]

bunker

[tardy fable]

never heard of it

[clear crane]

clockwork doesnt work haha

[tardy fable]

oh

[minor flame]

except with torb mei

[tardy fable]

thats bunker

[normal fractal]

yes exactly

[tardy fable]

clockwork is bunker

[blazing parrot]

@tardy fable orisa hog mei torb random hero mercy

[tardy fable]

widow and hanzo are far too strong to be replaced

[minor flame]

its basically modified bunker

[balmy wolf]

clockwork comp only works because the players are all 1 tricks on each hero

[normal fractal]

it's such a goofy comp

[clear crane]

against OD too

[normal fractal]

they got into Contenders with it though

[balmy wolf]

its get counter pretty easily

[blazing parrot]

i need to sleep its 20 to midnight for me

gn everyone

[normal fractal]

which is further than GOATS ever got

[balmy wolf]

goats won an tournament

and swept through OD as well

[minor flame]

OD is OD

Contenders is Contenders

and so far

Clockwork is actually doing good on Contenders

[clear crane]

?

[balmy wolf]

too early to call

[nova wadi]

i doubt theyre gonna win from BH YaB and GIG tho

[balmy wolf]

their record is 1-1 and both of them were map 5

[trim shadow]

You ever had ur hopes n dreams shattered by a sports team

[normal fractal]

GOATS is now Second Generation which is now a Contenders team for season 3

so fair I guess

[clear crane]

ahhh good old Cloud Nine

HOLY SHIT

[drowsy fulcrum]

[tropic herald]

EZ Clap

[raw ermine]

Now we go 0-7 :(

[tropic herald]

so many teams are winless rn RIP

[balmy wolf]

Toronto, Washington, and Florida should have decided everything from the start instead of making such drastic changes and expecting them to do well over teams that were already practicing and building that synergy

[tropic herald]

and Boston too

[inland pawn]

Boston is joining them

[tropic herald]

Rip ATL too the had a tough schedule so far

[minor flame]

guangzhou is so clean

Rio has had so many shatters

[balmy wolf]

Boston's biggest issue I personally think is that the meta seems to be shifting away from goats which is honestly what they looked good on (Rein variant anyway) and their DPS don't seem to be able to do the critical things required of them and so I think they're slipping

[tropic herald]

This could've been Charge so much earlier in the season though and thats bothering me

[minor flame]

well I mean when you run such a mixed roster

language barriers are gonna exist heavily

[tropic herald]

Boston sucks bc the management cares about money not winning

They had a good team but they've decided to change it up for making money instead

[minor flame]

this is such a stomp

gg

[raw ermine]

Spare me the details, I have already clicked off in sadness

[balmy wolf]

Did you really expect anything from the Defiant?

They're like Canadian Boston.

[raw ermine]

:(

[balmy wolf]

Picking up some good players but mostly meh players and hoping it works

[sullen berry]

Ahh

[little silo]

Alright good match alert

[sullen berry]

This is the Toroto Venom I've been waiting for

toxic by the 4th map

[tropic herald]

Charge didn’t just beat them, they rolled and smoked them

[balmy wolf]

Truth be told

[little silo]

neko might just stab someone

[balmy wolf]

I kinda wish they didn't do it best of maps

[little silo]

please be UberX or Seth and Achilios

[balmy wolf]

like showing a 4-0 or 3-1 or 3-2 but by the points they earned on the maps

[little silo]

Please dont be Sexxler

[sullen berry]

Who was casting earlier?

[little silo]

I have no idea

[sullen berry]

It could really just be casters from match #1

[little silo]

i think it was achilios and wolf

[balmy wolf]

What do you guys like in your casters?

like do you look for entertainment factor? Analysis? Personality?

[little silo]

Being able to blend analysis and creating hype/have personality

[balmy wolf]

Cause I much prefer Monte and Doa.

[little silo]

I like Monte and Doa

[balmy wolf]

Achilios and Wolf feel too analytical

not as much enjoyment for me

[little silo]

Doas humor is very nice

I dont like Achilios hype voice

FUUUUUU

[sullen berry]

smh

[visual glen]

[little silo]

alright so the match with the most intricate play of the day gets the casters who dont know about the game

Great

Why do they always cast the one match I want to watch

[supple prism]

who?

[balmy wolf]

Meh I don't mind.

[little silo]

I really dislike Semmler

[sullen berry]

Probably Semmler: Like that star wars line "it's over anakin, you're hanging by a THREAD!"

[little silo]

Hex has a few moments but I dont think hes a good analyst

[balmy wolf]

I think they have more personality. In Casters I want personality. If I was looking for analysis, I'd go to jayne or something

[little silo]

Hex does more casting than analysis

[dapper lantern]

^

[little silo]

I dont see any personality with these two

Or at least not one that I enjoy

[sullen berry]

Semmler has quirks I just hate to love

[little silo]

I dislike the confidence that he displays while casting

[visual glen]

Bow down to weeb power

[little silo]

I feel like he tries to be Doa with his jokes but it just doesnt fit

[balmy wolf]

I lowkey just half tune out the casters most game.

[little silo]

Its also super easy to tell what team Semmler wants to win

[balmy wolf]

I do really like that the two teams have songs walking up

[little silo]

yeah

[balmy wolf]

It's really weird when only one team comes in with one

[little silo]

Sparks is way better though

[balmy wolf]

and the other just gets the OWL thing

[sullen berry]

Blackout jerseys in a nutshell: Seoul did it first

[little silo]

Illicits picture stands out so much

[sullen berry]

Lighting for new players have been off and a little inconsistent

That can't be easy to match up

[little silo]

iliicit is the most extreme example of this

[sullen berry]

Really?

[little silo]

Not as noticable with the others

at least for me

Idk is mostly on speed i guess

[sullen berry]

Maybe you've never been around for the start of a Washington Justice game, to be fair

Idk speed running on control

[little silo]

I think I never really cared enough for a Washington match

Idk is 24th of 25 in Healing done

[balmy wolf]

Truth be told

[visual glen]

Goats is fun to watch

[balmy wolf]

With the exception of Ryujehong

[visual glen]

💤

[little silo]

Adora doesnt use armor pack to deny ult charge there or what?

[balmy wolf]

I care little for the dynasty

Same with the spark. Besides like Guxue, I don't care much for the spark. I like the personality and entertainment factor and such

I really like that Surefour is a chill weeb

[little silo]

Guxue is really the only one I care about on Spark

[balmy wolf]

I like that Super is such a chad and easily tilted

[little silo]

I do like watching Bebe as well though

[tropic herald]

Guxue Krystal and Bebe are all fun

[balmy wolf]

I like how SBB is such a good dude and married and playful and confident in his abilities

[little silo]

IDK

[balmy wolf]

I like how Pine is a god but also hates it when casters talk or whoever else compliments him cause he feels over pressure

[little silo]

Yeah Semmler and Hex dont hype that clutch up

[balmy wolf]

I wanna like profit more but I literally don't know what he's like

[little silo]

Profit is a weirdo

Look at the Spitfire twitter/YT

[balmy wolf]

Truth be told; I think really

[little silo]

profit has no idea what hes doing which is enjoyable for me

[balmy wolf]

A major major major

flaw in most team branding

[little silo]

Zunba might eat that

He was behind them and they didnt see him for like 10s

[balmy wolf]

Is that they don't do or translate more of their player's games. or casual games. Like if I could read JJonak's subtitles and such in english I'd enjoy it more

Same with Profit and such

[little silo]

yeah just being able to understand even a tiny bit of what they are saying would build a connection

Wow

The double boop

[dapper lantern]

let me just say

that segment was cute as fuck

[drowsy fulcrum]

naw fuck cats

[dapper lantern]

[proven saddle]

cats still cool

[little silo]

I love both

But its easier for me to approach a dog

oof

[tired mango]

damn

[sullen berry]

Hanging on what?

[tawny sigil]

was that 0.X second left?

[tired mango]

i think bebe had to trance earlier than he'd have liked to reposition himself so he didnt get killed by self destruct?

[sullen berry]

Say that again sem, did he hang on by a THREAD?

[tired mango]

his team wasnt low enough otherwise

[supple prism]

15 sec left?

[sullen berry]

Nothing quite dissapoints your children more

Than watching them play games

[upper niche]

Is it just me, or did that look like a room full or parents that didn't really want to be there?

[tawny sigil]

oh nvm that was 9.X

[sullen berry]

But also losing mapsand seeing that as a colossal failure

[supple prism]

Thats a fucking power move right there

[drowsy fulcrum]

Seoul "wait no"

[tawny sigil]

"clearly you guys are 'suck', We change you!"

asian accent

[dapper lantern]

🤔

[tawny sigil]

goats v goats v goats v goats

[little silo]

Oh man

[tawny sigil]

clearly working so far

[little silo]

how are you supposed to prep for that

[balmy wolf]

you cant

Seoul's strat all along

Also damn

that must be a huge pain in the damn ass

scrimming I mean

[tawny sigil]

wtf is this fight

they actually won that

denied

[sullen berry]

Easy when you just use grav in the last 3 seconds of the match ending

[tawny sigil]

that fight lastes like 2 minutes and spark was at the numerical advantage the entire time

and they lost

[little silo]

seouls substitutions probably blew their mind a bit

[balmy wolf]

So here's something I always wondered

[little silo]

But they should have won that

[balmy wolf]

like please feel free to explain it to me

[tawny sigil]

lets hope for a Gros Michelle

[little silo]

ria loses mech that will snowball

[balmy wolf]

When you fail to cap the first point of a 2cp or hybrid, Why don't more people run Sombra goats/Triple DPS on attack Or bunker on defense and decide to opt into regular goats?

[tawny sigil]

dva was a dead weight on that one

[gaunt acorn]

a banana

[little silo]

fleta can now reign supreme

[balmy wolf]

Cause if it's just a first tick

then sombra goats or triple dps would be the key right?

[trim shadow]

^ this guy is a troll im confident

[dapper lantern]

🤔

[tawny sigil]

why dont you just win instead of losing!

[little silo]

well master analyst rusha explain yourself

[tawny sigil]

thats a more accurate question

[trim shadow]

Its a simple answer young padawan

Map

What are sombra favored maps?

Usually open maps..dorado noobari

Horizon

And then you have rialto

[tawny sigil]

game was so fast they ran out of game footage for the break

[little silo]

spark seem as if they recovered

mentally at least

[visual glen]

[dapper lantern]

🤔

[sullen berry]

Seoul shakers

[gaunt acorn]

would you like your sub toasted?

[little silo]

alright guys full hold?

[tawny sigil]

who?

seoul had enough of you guys bullshit

[little silo]

Yeah

The coaches are gonna celebrate if they win this

[trim shadow]

Im convinced its impossible to prepare for seoul

[gaunt acorn]

[little silo]

not even seoul can prepare for seoul

[gaunt acorn]

ok munchkin

[tawny sigil]

felt like seoul had no buisness winning that fight

[balmy wolf]

Look at it this way. If you're first point held on 2cp or Hybrid, and you really only need to win one fight and the enemy team is running goats. Why on earth would you mirror that instead of just going with a comp that could fight them from afar. It's been seen on Volskya, it's been seen on Numbani literally just now. I'm asking why don't teams instead choose to run something that would benefit them and almost guarantee a win like the sombra variant or a triple dps.

[sullen berry]

I cannot believe my eyes

[gaunt acorn]

that emp didn't work until it did

[balmy wolf]

I think the dude just doesn't like me cause I said Decay wasn't living up to what the gladiators paid for him

[sullen berry]

Tobi is playing mercy

[tawny sigil]

that emp worked even thought it failed

[little silo]

I can finally judge Bebes Ana

[tawny sigil]

when was the last reverse sweep, like stage 1?

[little silo]

The hack to deny the emp bomb

very nice

[tawny sigil]

HOLE IN 1 bomb

[marsh pumice]

why i am not getting twitch drops anymore i mean been like 2 months and not drops

[tawny sigil]

maybe they realized its not allowed in your country?

[gaunt acorn]

uh

we'd need to know your country first, yeah

[tawny sigil]

or maybe too many people reported you?(brain storming here)

[gaunt acorn]

[tawny sigil]

wtf are they doing

[balmy wolf]

Winning probably

Adora is literally just useless rn

[little silo]

God I hate Semmlers oh buddy catchphrase

[balmy wolf]

I actually am hyped to play Havana, Learned how to get to point B highground on the tanker looking things thanks to ML7

[little silo]

Spark are on a roll rn

[gaunt acorn]

bad emps

the sombra is accomplishing nothing

[tawny sigil]

this is close af

[azure harbor]

[little silo]

and thats map 5

[upper niche]

Tell ya what, I'm really disliking this whole "all matches are done by midday" thing for us Aussie viewers :/

And we miss the first couple of hours unless we want to get out of bed at stupid-o-clock on a Sunday.

[little silo]

It is 4am for me

[tawny sigil]

and the match is lit

[little silo]

exactly

I really want Spark to win

love that its going to map 5 because I get to see more of this

[tawny sigil]

its always when you want to go sleep that you get map 5

[little silo]

I wonder which seoul coach will be player of the match

[tawny sigil]

flame

aww he's holding hand with that girl

[trim shadow]

another swap

hangzhou must be hating themselves

[tawny sigil]

"Why did we not prepare for the unpreperable!"

[little silo]

They expected the switches but how do you prepare for that

they might adapt over the course of this map

[trim shadow]

you dont

you wing it

[jagged crater]

seoul with the entire roster swap strats

[little silo]

thats all you can do

[trim shadow]

it looks like florida is gonna be seoul as well

with there 3 tanks

3 dps and shit

and 4 supports?

[tawny sigil]

#freetviq

[trim shadow]

he got released

your outdated

[tawny sigil]

im outdated

is he back home?

[little silo]

hi outdated

[midnight sage]

YEET IT IN

[tawny sigil]

reverse sweep control for a full reverse sweep

the resurection ritual will be completed soon

waaaaa!!!

[little silo]

Fissure,,,

Thats the hard feed

[gaunt acorn]

[tawny sigil]

he just came out cryostasis like 30 minute ago

[gaunt acorn]

[tawny sigil]

god dammit

[south brook]

Tactical crouch lol

[gaunt acorn]

[little silo]

Hex ruined it

[trim shadow]

cue theme music

[little silo]

Hex ruined the 3-2 win

[minor flame]

what

damn wtf

[dapper lantern]

Nice.

[trim shadow]

thats nutty

what kind of shit was hangzhou doing over the break?

[gaunt acorn]

whippets

[midnight sage]

Outlaaaaws

[upper niche]

So someone's gonna need to explain these London Spitfire score lines for me. Narrowly loses to the #2 team... Narrowly beats the 2nd bottom team?? :?

[upper niche]

I missed it, what aboutit?

[proven saddle]

ME TOO

sorry, lockcaps

[trim shadow]

[upper niche]

Wait, what the hell... my result preditor has HZS finishing 2nd in this stage!

Ahead of NYE and VAN, WTF!

[trim shadow]

with the way there playing

[little silo]

spark are good because headshot

[trim shadow]

hangzhou can beat nyxl or sanf ran

[dapper lantern]

one sec

[upper niche]

Spark play Dallas, LAV and FLA next up

[little silo]

spark might be able to defeat NY

[upper niche]

So I can kinda believe it for the ladder standings.

[little silo]

Not sure about San Fran

but pushing through and dealing with that full roster swap is incredible

shows how good the Spark are

[dapper lantern]

it was in sparkcord, just waiting for it to go up

[trim shadow]

thats cute

[dapper lantern]

It's amazing

[dapper lantern]

I love the artist

[proven saddle]

so good

consider he also has to do both win and loos

[supple prism]

he has to make 3 for every match. one for before the match, and two for depending on who wins

hope he is paid well

[trim shadow]

he probably is paid super well

[proven saddle]

oh yeah

[dapper lantern]

definitely, you have to because he puts out awesome work and I doubt he would for shit pay

[severe junco]

one of these days, toronto will win

[jovial fiber]

NO

[severe junco]

yeah i can understand that

[balmy wolf]

I mean is it truly a win if you only beat the Mayhem and Justice?

[severe junco]

hey

a win's a win

next week we got gladiators and outlaws, week after that is reign and excelsior

we ain't winning any time soon

oh

we might beat reign

i won't count on it though

stage 4 sucks for defiant tho

actually

not too bad

Justice, Spitfire, Dragons, Fusion, Mayhem, Dynasty, Mayhem,

We can be Mayhem and Justice

just not anybody else

lmao

[little silo]

do you think Boston will get it together enough to beat Paris

[balmy wolf]

Probably? They're kinda equal at the moment

[red anvil]

Doubtful

[balmy wolf]

I don't mind Boston but their biggest flaw to me is that they're playing dps comps when I don't think their dps are stellar enough to run said comps effectively

[little silo]

I think Blase is good enough

Colourhex is pretty decent on dps but in their hackfist he plays the Zarya

Did they try running rck on Zarya and Chex on Sombra?

Rcks sombra doesnt look too good in that comp

also persia is not staying alive at all

[red anvil]

unlikely that Chex would be better

[balmy wolf]

Persia is absolute ass

Hex is meh and blase is also meh

It really does feel that out of all the teams, Boston's dps don't have that carry star potential

Like Houston does

Hell even washington with Corey

When is the next owl stream?

[little silo]

today

[balmy wolf]

in about 4 hours

sorry 3 hours and 20 minutes

[little silo]

are mvp candidates limited to one player per team?

[balmy wolf]

no

SBB was close to getting it as well
