I predicted philly to beat boston but barely lose to new york. turns out new york were simply outclassed in every way and philly made finals.
My point is, philly shouldnt be categorized with teams like dallas

There's 20 teams in the OWL, 17 of them CANNOT play 3:3.
little silo
shanghai get that W my boys
sterile fox
shanghai is like entirely korean
pearl stratus
But 17 of them tried for two stages.
balmy wolf
at first i regretted buying shanghai rein skin because they werent the underdog anymore
balmy wolf
now i regret it because i didnt buy the pharah skin instead
uneven wren
so ny isn't?
upper hawk
I think thats why the Spark lost too
feral wing
17 teams cant play 3:3?

Thats all theyre good at

uneven wren
i would say def ny can play 3-3
pearl stratus
They never played it perfectly, no. Their wins against the major goats teams (Shock) came before Shock settled in.
sterile fox
i don’t care everyone is saying shanghai is chinese
pearl stratus
They didn't play it badly, but it never felt like NYXL.
rare magnet
i mean shanghai is in china
feral wing
I want to see London return to their playoffs form, that would be great

pearl stratus
London needs to stop trying to play 3:3 and 3:2:1.
feral wing
holy shit they were good
sterile fox
haha london
north beacon
I missed the first map. Did shock basically just try to out DPS them?
idle beacon
SHANGAI DRAGONS 😄 😄 😄 😄
minor flame
yes
pearl stratus
They're forced into playing guard for 3:2:1, and they don't play the same.

no sinatra super in first map
feral wing
Im not a london fan, but I would be if they could 4:0 vancouver
night tusk
titans twitter user really want to see shock lose
pearl stratus
I think if London had tried for a 1:3:2 or even 2:2:2 earlier they would have been more successful.
uneven wren
sinatraa super and rascal were on the bench for map 1
pearl stratus
Also I think they need another dps.
minor flame
Dragons is literal proof that Goats isnt the dominant meta anymore
balmy wolf
vancouver cheering for shanghai
pearl stratus
Birdring hasn't been the same since his wrist injury last year.
uneven wren
i don't see a world where london can 4-0 vancouver
feral wing
then you dont remember london from playoffs last year
night tusk

feral wing
thats the best overwatch play ive ever seen
uneven wren
london last year != london this year
hallow cargo
What's the score right now?
balmy wolf
i may not like vancouver but i respect them way more than the shock
uneven wren
2-0 dragons
sterile fox
london in season 1 and season 2 is like hulk in ragnarok and hulk in endgame
feral wing
have you been paying attention to what ive been saying? I said I would love to see london return to their playoffs form from last season
hallow cargo
Holy shit dragons might actually do this
feral wing
and then 4:0 vancouver
minor flame
londons playoff form doesnt translate to top tier in this season
uneven wren
i don't see london returning to last year's form though
simple badger
foooooooook goats
forest raven
London in playoffs last season was a perfect blend of birdring and profit getting to play widow and hanzo 90% of the time
minor flame
at this point lots of teams have surpassed that form
uneven wren
i know u do
pearl stratus
I see them returning to it, but it wouldn't be the same roster.
balmy wolf
@simple badger thats what shanghai is doing rn
sterile fox
you can’t stop the london rant now
simple badger
ik lol
pearl stratus
I think if you replace Nus, replace Birdring, or at least give yourself options they could manage it.
feral wing
this is like that whole ''what if ___'' ''that wont happen''
night tusk
feral wing
its about the what if, not the realism of the what if
north beacon
What if they did something like 2-2-2 lock but you can have extra for 1-2 lives

Sooooon

pearl stratus
Variables added to rules never work.
feral wing
SoOooOOooN
pearl stratus
Just don't lock it.
night tusk
soon you might be able to play dps soooooon YOU GET IT
pearl stratus
It's unnecessary at this point.
balmy wolf
soon
tropic herald
The lock is irrelevant now

Isn't Pine benched because of goats?
pearl stratus
No
sterile fox
halftime is so beautiful, i just love the idea of delaying the fucking game for obvious information
pearl stratus
Pine is benched because he';s useless.
uneven wren
sooooooon waiting to pop off
minor flame
Pine is benched cause hes inconsistent
sterile fox
pine is pretty bad
tropic herald
Pine is benched bc hes inconsistent and Nenne
little silo
Pine is benched because Nenne covers his hero pool and isnt risky
night tusk
pine cant play brig or zarya while nenne and sbb can play widow if needed
pearl stratus
Pine can't play anything but Widow and McCree, not at the level needed.
sterile fox
sbb can also play roadhog apparently
tropic herald
People always think Nenne is bad but he’s a really talented hit scam
minor flame
Nenne also beat Pine in Widow 1v1s so that should tell you something
tropic herald
Scan
feral wing
people think nenne is bad?
pearl stratus
Diya beat Pine in Widow 1v1 :P\
little silo
who thinks nenne is bad
uneven wren
nobody thinks nenne is bad
night tusk
I just wonder why they did not make use of fl0w3r yet.. while he was playing in a friendly match vs fusion this off season
pearl stratus
People blame Nenne for some stupid shit.
minor flame
wait who was in the finals?
scenic wigeon
It's a shame geguri doesn't get to play
feral wing
he was trying to grav seoul's sombra
pearl stratus
Because they have very low game knowledge.
feral wing
he just missed
tropic herald
People overlook his skills for that one grav
split heath
If the meta is gonna be like last year’s playoff, London wins. If Pharah will be as heavily played as Hanzo then Shanghai wins
tawny sigil
nenne is mad because he's grav'd
little silo
because flower is Libero with a smaller hero pool
uneven wren
just like how youngjin isn't bad
minor flame
Flower is worse Libero
tropic herald
I’ve seen people talk about it
pearl stratus
It's not even a miss, he hit it. He just had two choices and picked the wrong one.
little silo
exactly
sterile fox
nenne makes dumb gravs, he’s good other than that
pearl stratus
By all logic Michelle should have come out of the closer door.
minor flame
Youngjin is a literal god of flexing

But Michelle didn't have EMP yet, so he went far door to farm the last few %.

it's just that the nenne grav is now an iconic moment that every whiffed grav is considered a nenne grav

Yeah it became popular on reddit

Which has the combined OW IQ of a dead cow.

the babybay grav is more accurate imo
minor flame
it still exists

i hate that ad
tawny sigil
im affraid this half time is enough time for whatever drug krusty is giving to shock right now to start taking effect
lusty stream
sup dude
pearl stratus
Babybay just memes. He knows the word Yeet is cool now.
So he just yeets all his gravs.
To keep up with the memes.
balmy wolf
imagine being consistently good and the only time you majorly screw up gets made into a meme

Dafran was a decent Zarya, I won't do him like that.
He wasn't great.
He wasn't bad.
He was average, and that's perfectly fine.

malik and pucket are immortal, transcend through time, like a Toyota

babybay just yeets harder
minor flame
Youngjin is nutty overall
echo fog
was there some sort of announcement they said they were going to be making after the match?
feral wing
babybay just misses more gravs
uneven wren
but some of dafran's gravs from downtown were 900 iq
feral wing
or shoots them into defense matrix
minor flame
He literally went Rein in Havana just to block Bumpers shatter
night tusk
his pepega play actually worked out. like what they said in the interview. they dont know what they are doing. so the enemy team won't know it aswell
minor flame
that is the definition of big brain
upper hawk
THEY LACK THE CRITICAL
pearl stratus
Youngjin was a main tank back in Contenders, a few years back.
balmy wolf
does anyone remember when sms threw a grav into a small crevice off the map in kings row stage 2 finals
upper niche
lol, imagine being the Bliz team who has to announced "okay, role-lock is here from stage 4" and watching this match going "ohhhhh fuck :/"
night tusk
that was the finals lol
uneven wren
role lock
pearl stratus
The new heroes basically announced.

Role lock is gonna change the game balance pretty signficiantly as people start being forced to run comps that wouldn't get run ordinarily so much.

welcome to 14 days ago
pearl stratus
Honestly I won't lie if they do announce a 2-2-2 role lock I'll probably not watch Stage 4.
Cause that shit is going to be so boring.
feral wing
did you watch stage 2?
uneven wren
i most likely will
upper hawk
The way it is now is so fun
pearl stratus
I watched Chengdu and Shanghai.
upper hawk
Just leaaaave it
rare magnet
here we goooo
minor flame
Stage 2 is like the equivalent of Stage 4 in Season 1
upper niche
It's gonna take some time to sit back and look at what people start to do, and go "okay, we need to tweak X, Y and Z". They would surely let that settle before introducing another character
minor flame
it was incredibly boring
woven badge
@pearl stratus why would I watch comps I'm forced to run everyday
pearl stratus
Hey at least people who love horses will love Stage 4 with a 2-2-2 lock.

if we get 2-2-2, why does the league has to be 2-2-2

2-2-2 won't involve Dva in most situations.

So, uh, hey guys, it's been some time since we announced something new, so here's a brand new feature we have been working on, and are really excited to share: liver cancer. It's something that I, uh, had on my mind, for the past few months and it was fully implemented a few weeks ago, but I think it really developed over the past few weeks so that the blizzard team can show off what we have been working for some time now.
