[raw ermine]

2 ults to waste

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[feral wing]

is there any chance we get to see shadowburn genji next stage

[upper hawk]

Dude

[little silo]

all sinatraa

[minor flame]

huh

what was that

[balmy wolf]

that fire strike tho

[frozen perch]

c'mon dragons

[pearl stratus]

One of the Orisa Hog comps runs Widow + Genji with Ana.

So you basically just bunker till Nanoblade.

And hope you can kill things.

[little silo]

the shatter lmao

[woven badge]

Good strike ngl

[sterile fox]

yeah i wanna see shadowburn represent our motherland too

[upper hawk]

FIRESTRIKE FLICK

Lolll

[feral wing]

I want to see shadowburn because he is an actual god

also shock pls full hold

[little silo]

barrage still present

[sterile fox]

mate you seen necros

[feral wing]

shadowburn > necros

[sterile fox]

i’ll take that

[feral wing]

shadowburn is more calculated

[little silo]

that sleep was huge for dding

[sterile fox]

as a compliment

[upper hawk]

Wowww

[feral wing]

dude im a huge shadowburn fan

[echo fog]

[little silo]

luffy just clutched that

[uneven wren]

nice

[sterile fox]

full hold pepega rejected

[woven badge]

Good sleep

[night tusk]

double kap?

[feral wing]

HUGE GRAV

[sterile fox]

oh yeah me and shadowburn have a lot in common you know

[pearl stratus]

Shadowburn has also played pro.

[night tusk]

GRAV LUL

[little silo]

Grav?

[pearl stratus]

Which instantly makes him better than Necros.

[sterile fox]

also necros got accused of cheating

[woven badge]

Ddinggg

[feral wing]

shadowburn is also one of, if not the best western genji player in the world which makes him better than necros by default

[echo fog]

WTF

[little silo]

Ding my man

[sterile fox]

wym western

[upper hawk]

Hooooly crap

[night tusk]

oops

[feral wing]

hes not korean

[frozen perch]

GG

[balmy wolf]

[simple badger]

Pogey

[rare magnet]

yes that was good

[feral wing]

thats basically what western means in esports

[south brook]

I love this

[little silo]

if the mvp of this match isnt Coma Dding or Luffy I will riot

[pearl stratus]

The only bad thing with Shadowburn is his Genji is a more calculated pacing.

[woven badge]

Dude

[sterile fox]

guess i’ll take that

[pearl stratus]

And he does suffer against really aggressive play, to some extent.

[rare magnet]

how much time

[feral wing]

you get like 3-4 minutes after you cap

so about 3-4 minutes

man i sure love these mid map ad breaks

theyre so fun

-_-

[sterile fox]

it’s kinda funny how i never really got into watching shadowburn even though people tend to root for their own folks

[night tusk]

this first point struggle goes like vulskaya yesterday. they still won that map from titans

[upper niche]

I have a feeling I'm gonna get to work and this'll be over (though to be fair, that's 90+ minutes)

[upper hawk]

Did ding get two barrages on the last point?

[feral wing]

im norwegian, i root for shadowburn because hes really good and because im also a projectile dps

[upper niche]

Though for it to go on that long SFS would have to win 4 matches lol.

[rare magnet]

full hold mode engage

[feral wing]

i also root for decod and spectr9l though, both because theyre norwegian and because they are very underrated

[wintry kraken]

Well, 4-Overwatch in finals is weird

[sterile fox]

no clue who those are

[feral wing]

contenders players

unknown talent

[sterile fox]

never watched that

[tropic herald]

Spectr9l is cool

[night tusk]

if shanghai take it. they not just take it but they take it with facing NYXL TITANS and SHOCK in the playoffs

[feral wing]

spectr9l was previously known as onigod

[sterile fox]

nope

[rapid bobcat]

I think Dragons will 4-0 the Shock tonight

[minor flame]

damn cant wait to watch

[pearl stratus]

I'd be surprised at a 4-0.

[minor flame]

Houston v Paris

[little silo]

he got signed to Grunto

[minor flame]

wow

[frozen perch]

This is so good it almost feels scripted

[little silo]

4-0 idk

[sterile fox]

so why exactly did sdb switch teams?

[feral wing]

he was benched for eqo

[pearl stratus]

He had no place in Philly and wanted to play.

[rapid bobcat]

He was benched for life

[sterile fox]

oof

[minor flame]

damn wtf

[feral wing]

eqo had better comms and a larger hero pool

[pearl stratus]

Eqo had a larger pool, better comms and a better pacing for Philly.

[feral wing]

so they picked him over sdb despite sdb's skill

[little silo]

sitting scouts

[feral wing]

which makes sense

[tropic herald]

4-0 is very unlikely

[tawny sigil]

sinatraa on sombra, lul

[pearl stratus]

Eqo played crazy aggressive, which syned with Carpe better and they relied on those two popping off to take maps.

[upper hawk]

Halfway to barrage alrdy lolll

[feral wing]

although their results were basically the same with both players

[little silo]

Eqo is also very skilled

he charged emp very quickly

[feral wing]

just save ultimates and do a 6 ultimate push 4head

[pearl stratus]

I think with SDB it would have declined a bit over time as more teams got their pacing on point. He was by far the better mechanical player but it was like a composer, he waited for perfect moments a lot.

[tawny sigil]

sinatraa and super talk shit about sombra, say its easy to win with sombra, but they playing it now and not winning

[woven badge]

Barrage and emp were charged hella quick

[feral wing]

shadowburn is like mother russia

cold and calculated

[little silo]

decent stall

[sterile fox]

and now he’s in paris

[feral wing]

eqo is like usa, ''GIVE ME THAT FUCKIN OIL BROTHER''

[little silo]

primal needs to be shut down

emp vs beat again

[azure harbor]

[pearl stratus]

God

[echo fog]

DDINGGGGG

[upper hawk]

Ding

[little silo]

nice boop

[pearl stratus]

Ddings boops are gross.

[worn falcon]

HOLY BOOP

wtf

[north beacon]

“no u get back here”

[night tusk]

I remember that he denied mano from going back to spawn

[echo fog]

oh no

oooohhhhhh noooo

[feral wing]

y'know, if it wasnt for their terrible main tanks, paris might have been really good

[azure harbor]

emp is way too important, it needs nerf

[feral wing]

especially with their dps

[echo fog]

yikes

[upper hawk]

Oof

[feral wing]

soon, shadowburn, danye

[pearl stratus]

Paris supports are too emotional, imo.

[echo quest]

Shock fighting

[uneven wren]

sinatraa's emps were really good

[pearl stratus]

They're good.

But they tilt.

[feral wing]

yeah

[night tusk]

sombra punish the no beat or trans ult

[feral wing]

i wish paris went for fragi, yeah sure hes not the best

but hes much better than benbest and lhcloudy

[tawny sigil]

french people tilting?... noooo, never.

[feral wing]

kruise isnt french..

[little silo]

kruise and greyy arent french

[pearl stratus]

Cloudy did not impress me at all.

[night tusk]

hunters still played zen so if emp they usually used trans or solo hammond grav

[sterile fox]

kruise fucking dies

[pearl stratus]

Which is sad since he seemed strong in Contenders.

[night tusk]

kruise feeder

[pearl stratus]

Just didn't fit with the big boys.

[feral wing]

endoken, do you watch a lot of contenders??

[pearl stratus]

Regionally I watch Chinese, but I check out most areas playoffs

Since I like to try and keep an eye on up and comers.

[night tusk]

2-0 and still rooting for dragons above shock xd

[scenic wigeon]

This whole match feels kinda hollow knowing 2/2/2 is coming and neither of these comps will be meta next stage

[feral wing]

have you seen decod and spectr9l play? if so, do you think they have a shot at making OWL next season?

[night tusk]

remember when we saw matches while new patch was out already ? xd like old hanzo

[feral wing]

they are both lesser known norwegian players

decod played for angry titans i believe

[scenic wigeon]

I mean this isn't even on the live patch

[pearl stratus]

I think Spectr9l does more than Decod.

[tropic herald]

The fact that I don’t watch Contenders and have heard of Spectr9l says something

[pearl stratus]

But I've always respected Onigod.

He's consistent.

[feral wing]

I think Spectr9l could become really scary with the right coaching, which he could get in OWL

[night tusk]

the doom pog

[little silo]

how did moth live that long

[pearl stratus]

But then again

Davin didn't get into OWL

So who knows what happens out of EU

[feral wing]

true

[sterile fox]

youngjin literally has everything on cooldown all the time

[wintry kraken]

I have motion sickness from that doomfist

[tropic herald]

EU is wack

[feral wing]

honestly, there are a lot of players on the norwegian world cup team that are pretty good.

track is another one

[little silo]

CV are pretty fun

[north beacon]

Big dva bomb incoming

[pearl stratus]

CV is old people fuck boring to watch.

[little silo]

really weird how they got there but they are fun to watch

[feral wing]

if only team norway could make it big this year.

[pearl stratus]

Anything bunker based is so boring

[feral wing]

they always get so close to making blizzcon but then barely lose out

[little silo]

idk i really like the ult cycles in it

[feral wing]

last year they got placed in the same group as canada and usa..

maybe im biased because im norwegian

probably

[balmy wolf]

[feral wing]

but i think spectr9l could make it big

[night tusk]

guys who watched the first map

[woven badge]

@night tusk me

[sterile fox]

everybody

[uneven wren]

dding's barrage was not very good because of choi's self destruct

[night tusk]

do you guys think that Shock B team talked korean? moth only NA player xd

[uneven wren]

i think dding got a bit greedy there

[pearl stratus]

I think the problem is the upper contenders teams are still a decent gap away from the low-mid OWL teams unless you're out of the Korean region.

[sterile fox]

yeah i think it’s cuz he fucking died midway through

[pearl stratus]

Because there's just not enough of those top level players to have the other regions contenders be -really- challenging.

[north beacon]

Nice nudge on the dva bomb by choi

[drowsy harbor]

yoo are you kidding me

shanghai's actually going to take this one

[pearl stratus]

Most non-Korean regions have maybe 2-3 good teams, the rest are just kinda meh

So its hard to really develop.

[north beacon]

I think this one goes to shock

[feral wing]

yeah

[simple badger]

shock prob wins this

[little silo]

the map or the set

[feral wing]

i do hope that spectr9l gets picked up next season

[simple badger]

map

[pearl stratus]

I full understood Philly sending their Academy team to Korea.

[little silo]

huge stagger

[tawny sigil]

feeders gonna feed

[north beacon]

lollll

[sterile fox]

spam

[pearl stratus]

It made perfect sense from a development stand point.

[feral wing]

definitely

[pearl stratus]

FU wasn't going to lose in Contenders NA anytime soon

[feral wing]

they were dominating so hard in NA

[woven badge]

Lol choi

[little silo]

he lives

[visual glen]

Wtf

[worn falcon]

DDING

fucking

[simple badger]

POGGGGGERS

[feral wing]

honestly, every team should try to pick up a norwegian player. because the team that picks up a norwegian player gets my support and my support = instant win

[worn falcon]

wit

[sterile fox]

hahahahahah they’re playing goats again

[visual glen]

I thought that was a Pepega Barrage

[silk tiger]

that angle was impressive

[uneven wren]

coma 5head play

mccree buff still dope since mccree in OWL is always fun to watch

[pearl stratus]

Whats crazy is

[warm quartz]

they havin sad boi hours

[uneven wren]

super boomed

[woven badge]

[little silo]

wonder how they will use the rest of their timeslot on espn

[rare magnet]

what is it next escort?

[uneven wren]

sf tried that

[drowsy harbor]

why does SF keep going goats

trash

[north beacon]

@ornate rose SF tried DPS first map

[rapid bobcat]

Did I not say a 4-0

[uneven wren]

they had architect, striker, and smurf in for map 1

[pearl stratus]

I'd argue that if SHD win its the best finals run including the Grand Finals last year.

[warm quartz]

I literally left and went driving for practice and came back to a near 4-0

[ornate rose]

3-3 won't work against them

[sterile fox]

my phone is dying big sad

[storm cloak]

Goats is dead

[pearl stratus]

Because they'll have played: NYXL -> Vancouver -> Shock.

[worn falcon]

SHD beating tops 3: NYXL, Vanc and now SFS

[rare magnet]

but 1 percent screen brightness

[pearl stratus]

Cinderella story.

[rapid bobcat]

@worn falcon spark is #3 this stage

[vagrant niche]

i think if they had a player that could pop off on widow, they could stabilize it but they don't

they need someone like pine

[feral wing]

yeah but london played gladiators and valiant and destroyed them both

[random arrow]

LETS GO DRAGONS 👏👏 👏👏👏

[feral wing]

both were considered two of the best teams

[pearl stratus]

They have Striker, who is actually a really crazy Widow just hasn't been on stage in forever.

[sterile fox]

pine is pretty trash

[pearl stratus]

Shock has DPS comps to play.

[feral wing]

valiant was listed as second best

[pearl stratus]

They're just not doing it.

And their first match, running those DPS, was the closest maps in the series.

[north beacon]

Shock has DPS comps but are they better than Shanghai’s?

[midnight sage]

Remember when Shanghai didn't win a single game last year? Now they are stomping ass in finals

[vagrant niche]

why not pull Sinatraa out and put striker instead then?

[pearl stratus]

Honestly the first map? That was pretty damn close.

[drowsy harbor]

im so hyped

[vagrant niche]

and hope fo the best

[woven badge]

@north beacon no

[vagrant niche]

they don't have much left

[little silo]

Shock has dps comps but they arent practiced

[sterile fox]

they mirrored shanghai in first map lol

[pearl stratus]

Architect + Striker did some work.

@uncut trellis i suspect pine will play in stage 4 cause 2-2-2

@uncut trellis there is nenne which is pine but better

his speaking cadance is really weird

this is going to be a huge victory cause of the shangai and the death of goats

It's not trash talk if it all comes true.

Now they're running the 2-2-2 comp we'll see from everyone.

[drowsy harbor]

even if shock wins this one, it's 3-1 SHD, right?

[warm quartz]

Dragons have not won yet, 3-0.

They need 4 iirc

[ornate rose]

Finally some more dps from shock

[drowsy harbor]

what?

[night tusk]

hey guys

[sterile fox]

[night tusk]

shock won crazy on this map yesterday

[balmy wolf]

[feral wing]

is it theoretically possible for a match to go 2-0?

[north beacon]

I wouldn’t count shock out just yet

[feral wing]

or 1-1 and then map 5?

[warm quartz]

Its possible for them to go 3-3

[drowsy harbor]

what was the other game against titans that went 3-1 then?

[feral wing]

I mean, normal matches

[pearl stratus]

Technically it is possible.

For a 1-1 with two ties.

[sterile fox]

yeah

[split hatch]

No way shock wins 4 maps in a row. When shanghai gets map pick things get deadly for the other team

[pearl stratus]

It's just very rare

[jagged crater]

im actually curious of the non-3-3 vs 3-3 pickrates this stage playoffs

[pearl stratus]

But technically possible.

[night tusk]

ties in playoffs = 0 points

[drowsy harbor]

dude

what happened with the SHD vs titans 3-1

[rare magnet]

no dva dding eating

[balmy wolf]

damn

[pearl stratus]

@jagged crater The only stats the matter: 3-3 pickrates = teams lost.

Every team that played primarily goats lost. Horribly.

[jagged crater]

now ima be upset if 222 is enforced next stage

[sterile fox]

full team emp damn

[feral wing]

can shock take back danteh?

[pearl stratus]

NYXL: "Lets play Goats into Shanghai." Rocked.

[feral wing]

so they have a good sombra?

[sterile fox]

too bad

[uncut trellis]

[drowsy harbor]

or mb, 3-1 against nyxl

[tropic herald]

Blizz better hold off on 222

[north beacon]

Sinatraa getting some good EMPs

[pearl stratus]

Vancouver: "Lets play Goats into Shanghai"

Destroyed

[reef imp]

"I think justice could use a little nap."

[echo fog]

??????

barrage?

[drowsy harbor]

dude

[prisma wraith]

Shock is getting a Shanghai-Dding

[drowsy harbor]

can anyone answer a simple question

[feral wing]

Shock: lets play choi on hog

[rare magnet]

dding why

[pearl stratus]

Shock is playing the 2-2-2 comp

[sterile fox]

what question

[drowsy harbor]

if it's first to 4, how did SHD go 3-1 against NYXL

[night tusk]

its first to 4 today (you see it above the score)

[feral wing]

holy shit is that a tracer

[drowsy harbor]

on thursday

[feral wing]

nvm

[jagged crater]

hog goin from perceived bad hero to pretty good eh

[pearl stratus]

That was too early in the series

It didn't matter then

[sterile fox]

that wasn’t finals

[north beacon]

Shanghai getting too cocky. Reverse sweep possible if they don’t play more serious

[pearl stratus]

So it was just to 3.

Semifinals and Finals are to 4.

[proven saddle]

@drowsy harbor only on the final

[tawny sigil]

common sense

[night tusk]

its finals nyxl was first to 3

[drowsy harbor]

ohhhhhh

okay

thank you for the clarification

[feral wing]

well shock are doing really well now

[sterile fox]

gamsu with the stealth build

[pearl stratus]

Yeah, they just needed to stop playing Goats.

[sterile fox]

when a caster says violet i always hear violent

[feral wing]

holy shit your name LMAO

[sterile fox]

NICE BOOP

[feral wing]

I did notice until now

[uncut trellis]

loll

[sterile fox]

pretty cool right

[pearl stratus]

Rip Sinatraa.

[north beacon]

Sinatraa what was that EMP

[pearl stratus]

That was a waste of an EMP.

[tropic herald]

They’ve basically been one tricking GOATs what are they gonna do

[echo fog]

You amaze me

[pearl stratus]

[sterile fox]

heyhey he got three full team emps he can get a bad one

my phone is on 10%

[pearl stratus]

"Hey Choi, thanks. Now I can get your Mercy."

[jagged crater]

i'd love to see the amount of swaps on this stage compared to previous stages

there's been a NUTTY amount of swaps

[woven badge]

Mad hook 😂😂

[echo fog]

[little silo]

[echo fog]

[rare magnet]

dddddddinnnggg

[little silo]

no 3 points for shock

[scenic wigeon]

This point is broken for the defense

[vagrant niche]

this is a GG

[little silo]

can shanghai complete the map

[vagrant niche]

shangai won

[uneven wren]

i feel they can

[feral wing]

not if shock play properly

[sterile fox]

which they will not

[feral wing]

this map is ridiculously defender sided

[uneven wren]

they just can't get camped at spawn

[pearl stratus]

Yeah Shock can hold this. My worry is that offense for Widow is better than Defense on points A and B.

And they don't have an answer for Diem still

[feral wing]

the answer for diem is:

[vagrant niche]

all they needed was a good widow to win

but they didn't put one in

[tropic herald]

There is no answer

[feral wing]

scratch that

[tropic herald]

You take the bullet

[feral wing]

aint gonna get muted again

[pearl stratus]

Rascal + Striker would have been my go to combo, maybe Rascal + Architect.

[tawny sigil]

that hook on the bongo

[nova wadi]

Isn’t striker this god scrim widow

[proven saddle]

hooking the bongoes LUL

[pearl stratus]

Yeah he was doing well against Diem in map 1.

[tropic herald]

More than scrim god

[feral wing]

like xepher the scrim god?

[pearl stratus]

Diem was still winning

But he wasn't bad.

[tropic herald]

Striker has pretty good widow stats on one of his accounts

[pearl stratus]

Papago or whatever.

~1000 hours

And 38% crit accuracy.

[tropic herald]

That’s actually insane

[pearl stratus]

It's apparently all he grinded this season

[idle beacon]

4-1

Could Shanghai actually win this?..

It just seems like an alternate reality

it doesnt feel real LOL

[feral wing]

if diem pops off, shanghai win this map

if he doesnt or gets countered

[tropic herald]

I feel once he gets accustomed to OWL Striker will get better

[pearl stratus]

Goats is a detriment not a benefit now.

[pearl cedar]

anyone who's watched Shanghai last year would know what im saying lol

[pearl stratus]

So yeah.

[feral wing]

shock wins

[oak crest]

Who are you rooting for?

[rare magnet]

goats

[feral wing]

[drowsy harbor]

shanghai dragons boys

[pearl cedar]

TBH I like both teams

Malik Forté 🎤 (@Malik4Play)

If the @ShanghaiDragons take down the Shock today after taking out both the NYXL and the Vancouver Titans, would you consider them the best team in the league?

Twitter

[pearl stratus]

The problem is its not just Diem popping off.

[tawny sigil]

if shanghai lose this map they can select next control, easy win

[pearl cedar]

but the Shanghai story is a great story

[reef imp]

Dragons. They'll get this.

[tropic herald]

[pearl stratus]

You have to be careful for Dding, and Youngjin too lol

[sterile fox]

dding can play like a plat and he’ll still destroy

[oak crest]

I started liking shanghai when they were "bad"

[nova wadi]

I liked something popular before it was popular

[drowsy harbor]

lmao

[oak crest]

And bought skins for them, now it seems like I like them bcs they got good haha

[feral wing]

I know what shock did during half time

[jagged crater]

shanghai was popular when they were bad too

[tropic herald]

Bruh I bought a Dragons skin with the free tokens last year, rest is history

[feral wing]

they googled ''how to counter triple dps''

[pearl stratus]

Welcome to Youngjin.

[oak crest]

Hahaha damn

[rare magnet]

[scenic wigeon]

This match is over. Shock are boomed

[oak crest]

[pearl stratus]

"It's okay Diem, I got you."

[reef imp]

Doomfist couldn't be in better hands.

[oak crest]

Got 200 tokens gifted from them

[feral wing]

no please, no doomfist meta

[tropic herald]

Doomfist meta would be fun to watch imo

[nova wadi]

Wasn’t doomfist highly used on ladder for like a month before he got nerfed

[feral wing]

HOW DOES COMA SURVIVE WTF

[oak crest]

Someone here said that shock will win... HOW?

[tropic herald]

Doom was used a ton last fall

Then the needs came

[feral wing]

At least shock won the fight

[echo fog]

Does this match make anyone else want to play overwatch?

makes me want to

lol

[raw ermine]

lose with 6 ults

[feral wing]

it makes me want to never touch overwatch again

[pearl cedar]

Rascal's baptiste is soo fucking good

[pearl stratus]

Coma is funny to watch.

[jagged crater]

yea cuz it's not just goats

[tropic herald]

OWL always makes me want to play OW

[pearl stratus]

He gets off resses that should not be gotten

[warm quartz]

Doom? what

[drowsy harbor]

[warm quartz]

[oak crest]

@echo fog I can relate

[pearl stratus]

Because he just played it

Didn't bitch

[jagged crater]

rascal is a support dps

[feral wing]

I want neptuno's battle mercy to return so he can battle coma's legendary big balls rezzes

[jagged crater]

he has the mechanical skill and mentality for it

[pearl stratus]

"You want me to play support? Fuck it,. I'll learn two."

[drowsy harbor]

he's countering pharah lol

[oak crest]

I wanna play, but at the same time wanna watch this match

[tropic herald]

Rascal had that 22 second ult last night

[feral wing]
