#

Yeah i think space did hit number 1

#

hes a master at bombs and eating

balmy wolf
#

i hot nothing just master last season

#

i cant type

jagged crater
#

actually good to see dva not being so dominant anymore

upper niche
#

Just gonna throw it out there, Custa is practicing Soldier on twitch 😛

analog hamlet
#

I want more genji or tracer

jagged crater
#

even have players like space benched because dva is relatively weaker in the meta rn

analog hamlet
#

or even soldier tbh

balmy wolf
#

Meow sad dive is dead

minor flame
#

this is the first time dva is not dominant that much

upper hawk
#

True i miss Tracer

minor flame
#

in literal years

jagged crater
#

you see dps players flexing onto dva instead

analog hamlet
#

I miss watching tracers like SBB

#

or striker

minor flame
#

Dva was the Brig of Season 1

north tendon
#

by the way for the watchpoint tease on thursday

upper hawk
#

I loved watching Soon on tracer when he was with LAV

north tendon
#

LOL

minor flame
#

bruh

jagged crater
#

oh golly then 222 might be a thing

minor flame
#

imagine announcing 222

#

a literal week

#

before stage 4

upper hawk
#

Please no

#

Ffs

jagged crater
#

teams obv alreadyf iknow abot it

tawny sigil
#

the players already know if its the case

analog hamlet
#

I mean like I said if 2-2-2 is coming the teams know

jagged crater
#

just waiting for official announcement

balmy wolf
#

And saybyeoble’s tracer was insane

raw ermine
#

Omg

#

that pic

split heath
#

is inb4 no announcement ZaryaLUL

upper hawk
#

ANNOUNCES OW2

minor flame
#

yall complaining about sombra now but the reason bunker isnt already the dom meta is because sombra exists

jagged crater
#

there's no balance patch on ptr, so stage 4 would only have that small balance change from stage 3

#

might even see more orisa?

minor flame
#

no

#

dont buff orisa more

jagged crater
#

but otherwise if 222

split heath
#

So what? You can directly nerf bunker.

balmy wolf
#

i dont want 2 2 2

split heath
#

Don’t need a sombra to keep the balance

north tendon
#

IM READY

upper hawk
#

Ive always thought Orisa was under-utilized

minor flame
#

just directly nerf bunker lol

jagged crater
#

im saying there's not other balance changes that can possibly happen for stage 4

upper hawk
#

Shes effective in more places than ppl think

jagged crater
#

cept for something like 222

minor flame
#

Orisa is like Dva

balmy wolf
#

orisa is dominating in ladder rn

minor flame
#

except for main tank

upper niche
#

BTW, I got my OWL Token twitch drops.

jagged crater
#

orisa is dominating the ladder rn that's a fact

split heath
#

You think it’s not doable lol

upper hawk
#

ah im a low sr pleb so idk xD

upper niche
#

Oh yeah, Orisa is owning ladder, my win rate on Orisa atm is like 62%

minor flame
#

Orisa is the meta

#

true meta rn

#

already

jagged crater
#

in ladder yea

tropic herald
#

It’s Horse Meta

jagged crater
#

OWL and contenders is more mixed

upper niche
#

It's 72% on Sym though and I'm getting abused like you wouldn't believe.

upper hawk
#

I pretty much only play dva/zarya

minor flame
#

yeah because 222 hasnt come out yet

#

if 222 is out then itll just be bunker

upper hawk
#

Sym turrets piss me off

upper niche
#

Sym turrets are made more annoying by the fact that OW does hit notification so poorly :/

tropic herald
#

222 will be bunker, maybe some dive

upper hawk
#

I think its the only skill that genuinely frustrates me

jagged crater
#

has effect been playing?

minor flame
#

????

balmy wolf
#

effect retired lol

jagged crater
#

OW at all

minor flame
#

effect quit

#

oh

#

yeah

upper niche
#

So many times you've got one on you and it's like "I can't find the fucking thing!"

minor flame
#

he has

#

he streamed a short bit ago

jagged crater
#

oh that's nice to see

balmy wolf
#

orisa is dominating in ladder bc no one is nearly as coordinated as the pro teams in walking past the shield/damage mitigation

tropic herald
#

^

balmy wolf
#

bunker has a very healthy amount of counter-playstyles

north tendon
#

yeah I remember that moment when a team went bunker on nepal and it instantly got dived and dismantled

balmy wolf
#

either in spam, emp, counter-bunker, rotations, etc

upper niche
#

It doens't help that Orisa is 'fun' for people to play over RH because they can have this giant personal shield (forget their teammates) and still shoot.

#

With Rein, it's either/or.

upper hawk
#

Beat dmg and shields WITH MOAR DMG AND SHIELDS

#

Rein is so dependent on your healers if youre gonna be fine

split heath
#

Isn’t the comps we see in the first map of stage 3 finals gonna be meta?

north tendon
#

really? I find her boring as hell

rare magnet
#

does dding have twitch what is it

north tendon
#

then again rein is my fav

split heath
#

That counts as bunker?

upper niche
#

I've been playing a lot of games lately where I'll get Sym ult in <30 seconds, so at times we don't even run a shield - just run Sym ult every 30 seconds heh.

minor flame
#

the first map?

#

i mean not really

#

that comp only really works because its oasis

north beacon
#

Someone was saying Danny mistranslated Diem yest. He actually said shock have a 0.01% HIGHER chance of beating them than Val but Danny said it was a 0.01% chance

minor flame
#

koth maps are way different than literally any other

north tendon
#

thats missed spice

split heath
#

Good translation lol

dapper lantern
#

Danny mistranslating isn't uncommon

split heath
#

Lighting the fire for him

balmy wolf
#

i play widow tracer sombra for dps and, dva and hammond for tank and, zen and ana for support idk how i feel about 2 2 2

tropic herald
#

English to Korean isn’t simple to do on the spot tho

split heath
#

You guys need to look into Emily ‘s translation

tropic herald
#

And vice versatility

north beacon
#

Maybe Danny wanted to create more hype

split heath
#

That’s some serious mistranslating lol

north beacon
#

“No no that wasn’t enough trash talk. Let me fix for you”

upper hawk
#

Probably

balmy wolf
#

I mean "fun" is subjective and all, but in terms of pure counterplay there really is a decent amount in terms of orisa v orisa matchups

north tendon
#

egg then 2-2-2 is pretty much for you

balmy wolf
#

i mean dive wasnt 2 winstons zapping each other

#

but

jagged crater
#

gamsu hamster oh gosh

balmy wolf
#

omg so good

#

diem

north tendon
#

pog

balmy wolf
#

dding

#

luffy

#

Coma

split heath
#

Saw this. DDing is way too small i this

#

in

balmy wolf
#

gamsu

north tendon
#

yeah

jagged crater
#

maybe dding doesnt want attention,

upper hawk
#

Youngjin is pretty boss at zoning with BOOMfist

balmy wolf
#

and youngjin

#

too good

north tendon
#

dding doesnt want attention

#

he just wants your heart

balmy wolf
#

in low rank 2 2 2 might screw them over

#

actually help alot

#

playing sub-par comps is better than playing better comps?

#

no but people will through bc they dont get to play dps

split heath
#

I think low rank is gonna be all bunker

minor flame
#

dude

#

low rank you can play any fucking thing

#

you want

split heath
#

High rank is gonna be widow Pharah hanzo

balmy wolf
#

throw*

jagged crater
#

youngjin would be benched or flex to off-tank if 222?

minor flame
#

benched

balmy wolf
#

Zyx you cant do that

#

Ok I know it's a very generalized statement, but as someone who's played in literally every rank for over 100 hours and watched vods from literally 200sr (not 2000) to OWL scrims

north tendon
#

anything that forces dps to learn other roles is a good thing

balmy wolf
#

it is three dps

#

If your SR doesn't begin with at least a 4

#

You can play

#

any comp

#

and win

split heath
#

I mean rotating between

#

This three

minor flame
#

actually

balmy wolf
#

oh wait im stupid

minor flame
#

no Youngjin will stay the same

#

he'll just play Hog

balmy wolf
#

The ONLY thing holding lower elos back from winning is their own thought process of "we have a worse comp therefore we lose"

#

i enjoy non-2/2/2 bc it invokes thought processes

#

goats is dead lets praise jeff

jagged crater
#

road dawg

balmy wolf
#

however i wont deny the benefits it has

upper hawk
#

True in bronze youll see 4-5 dps and it will fking work

balmy wolf
#

In OWL you see 4 dps too

jagged crater
#

blizz might do 222 just for the sake easier balance, if meta becomes to stale, it's a lot easier to break free from it

balmy wolf
#

more people will throw though

#

i feel like

minor flame
#

222 for easier balance is a sketchy idea to me

north tendon
#

how will more people throw when you are literally given the choice for what role to queue for

balmy wolf
#

before match

#

ohhh

jagged crater
#

there's a lot less combinations to think about

north tendon
#

the idea is role queue

balmy wolf
#

Also players will play shit they dont normally play

#

i thought first two to pick the role get it

upper hawk
#

Actually i think the thing in bronze ive seen the most of is going no MT

#

And still winning

balmy wolf
#

One main thing is that in lower elos (diamond and below), almost every single loss is because the tank and support play is terrible

north tendon
#

nah dude that would be fucking shit

balmy wolf
#

and then it is disabled

north tendon
#

jeff talked about role queue

#

if they were to do it

balmy wolf
#

it will still be hard to balance the game even with role lock , but at least there is a framework that blizzard can look at

north tendon
#

separate sr

balmy wolf
#

well fuck i have to choose i usually fill

jagged crater
#

has to be done

balmy wolf
#

Filling is the problem

split heath
#

MT is just kinda awkward when there’s no coordination

#

So I can imagine it being useless in bronze

balmy wolf
#

People just fill and soft throw because they dont know how to fucking play the shit they play

#

Shidou ty

#

and nice avatar

#

"I'll play rein bc the team needs rein" then just holds up shield wondering why nothing happens

north tendon
#

np, I think thats part of why people think the lock sucks

upper hawk
#

Yeah i used to play rein and its pretty much useless 85 percent of the time

north beacon
#

China numba wun

upper hawk
#

Cuz healers suck

north tendon
#

lmao ty, gym anime girls pog

#

you too

balmy wolf
#

70% of low elo losses are because tanks suck

#

29% because healers suck

#

1% bc of dps

#

I like dps and heals i dont like tank that much tho

upper hawk
#

I think thats accurate Leggo

#

its the cause of every loss

jagged crater
#

did diya play at all this season?

balmy wolf
#

Anytime I get a vod from lower elos that play dps its.. honestly not that hard to just better. DPS is a VERY straight forward role.

#

But when a tank or support player plays

#

holy fucking tits

#

well a lot pf time people wont stay behind the shield in lower ranks

#

Then move forward

upper hawk
#

its only a problem with dps when you get a dude that thinks he can 1v6

#

And over extends every time

balmy wolf
#

yea

#

im in gm idk why im complaining

#

One of the hardest concepts to understand is that a bad idea done together >>>>>>>>> a good idea that people hestiate/half ass

#

These people in OWL don't do the best strats or perfect ideas. Hell, in VoD reviews I guarantee you even in wins they probably had not even the top 3 idea in certain scenarios

#

It's just the trust they have in one another

#

the only reason ik is bc on console i was plat

tawny sigil
#

and that's why the "BUT THAT'S WHAT WE PRACTICED" mentallity is just dum

balmy wolf
#

i.e. People meme Bumper for playing like garbage

#

And honestly, the whole "Titans carries Bumper" isn't 100% incorrect

#

They just have so much synergy

#

lmao leggo all of twitch chat last night

#

The trust in each other goes marrow deep

jagged crater
#

his role is to feed and it synergizes with their strats

north tendon
#

yeah his playstyle is enabled

balmy wolf
#

You fuckin turn the feed meter to 100 and pump out strats

north tendon
#

not that you have to go bumper on ladder lol

#

every idea has its place

jagged crater
#

i see a similar reason people shittalking kellex for dying a lot

balmy wolf
#

Hell if your team is in on it go for it

#

Top teams in OWL play to their strengths.

#

And make it work.

#

yea and not to the enemies weaknesses

#

like how SHD did

#

Which means don't counterpick to widow just because the enemy has a pharah

#

and the titans went for the SHD weaknesses and lost

#

If your reasoning for picking a specific hero is because the enemy has a specific hero

#

That's a terrible thing to do

north tendon
#

crusty too I feel like tried to with striker and smurf

#

even tho they arent warmed up

jagged crater
#

ding ding ding ding

balmy wolf
#

the ding in dding is all the pharah direct shots

north tendon
#

true

#

dding is just so damn good to even counter properly

balmy wolf
#

Too bad none of the dps on shock have a zarya as insane as sinatraas.

#

oh i can get meself a gold gun

jagged crater
#

is this the few times a team actually runs pharah a lot?

#

in top level OW before pharah was kinda nerfed

#

i loved seeing pharah played again

#

very reminiscent of early OW

north tendon
#

ever since I read mangachu considered dding the best pharah I was on the lookout for him

#

tho tbh jinmu pharah is legit

balmy wolf
#

beemoo if any team had dding they would rum pharah a lot

split heath
#

They have to have a good widow/Pharah/hanzo rotation of their own to really counter shd. Any other DPS comp gets countered by this rotation imo.

balmy wolf
#

run*

jagged crater
#

dding didnt even play pharah that much early in the season, he was just a sombra one trick

split heath
#

Unfortunately none of Titans and Shock has

balmy wolf
#

well tbh any tracer player from dive switch to sombra

jagged crater
#

doesnt always work out

balmy wolf
#

like sbb

#

and saybyeolbe

#

I remember the 1st time we saw him on it and it was the most telegraphed thing I've ever seen

#

lmao

#

*throws translocator in front of enemy team then emps

#

nyxl was so good they had the best healer best hitscan best tracer then they all went put of meta besides healers obviously

jagged crater
#

i was in an aim practice game with coma/dding/luffy, they were just messing around with meme heroes 1 hour before their stage playoff game. I love seeing that attitude work out

nova wadi
#

Did u kill them

balmy wolf
#

guys not about owl but should i get ashe gold gun

#

mainly for bob

jagged crater
#

yea i was sweating on mccree but stil couldnt hit a damn thing

nova wadi
#

Loool

split heath
#

What did they play

jagged crater
#

they were playing rein charging into eachother

balmy wolf
#

lmao

jagged crater
#

it was the aim arena custom

balmy wolf
#

lower ranks who has more aids

#

in a nutshell

jagged crater
#

arhan was in that game too but wasnt sure if it was actually him cuz his profile was private

#

also just remembered arhan is still in the league

split heath
#

He has private profile cuz he’s masters ZaryaLUL

jagged crater
#

🤔

split heath
#

Jk

balmy wolf
#

Oh I forget that justice got 2 new players

#

Pog they got the angry titans tank core

trim shadow
#

So basically

#

washington has no excuse to lose

#

Toronto and washington

split heath
#

Why not?

jagged crater
#

what is it dps and main tank?

split heath
#

I don’t see them being significantly better than teams other than mayhems

jagged crater
#

then again valiant added a new dps and main tank, look where it got them

balmy wolf
#

the coaching staff is holding justice back a lot

jagged crater
#

maybe wizard not fit for a head coaching role

balmy wolf
#

tho its fucking better than janus

jagged crater
#

stick to assistant and provide them $tats

simple badger
#

So Jayne has quitted owl?

jagged crater
#

nah jayne stil around

#

just quitting social media

swift moth
#

It has to be the coaching staff since justice has a lot of great players

tropic herald
#

Or, the Justice suck at GOATs and just need to play dps

jagged crater
#

well if the 222 goes up, they'll have to play dps!

swift moth
#

Yeah it’s crazy Shanghai won without playing goats

simple badger
#

Goat is dead crab

split heath
#

Yeah maybe mayhems won’t suck that much either for the same reason

jagged crater
#

nah mayhem will still be bad

swift moth
#

@jagged crater and it will probably be a widow meta so they will do very well

#

Justice

balmy wolf
#

corey the american sniper

jagged crater
#

every team has a capable widow player

simple badger
#

Isn't mayhem have like 3 wins total from 2 seasons so far?

balmy wolf
#

no

#

like 10 or something

split heath
#

I bet justice will still be the worst lol

swift moth
#

Doesn’t matter how they do, they won’t make playoffs

balmy wolf
#

not the point

simple badger
#

I hope they dont do 222 lock

swift moth
#

I don’t want 222 in comp.

#

Idc what happens to the pros

simple badger
#

Only bads who complain about too many dps want it in comp

balmy wolf
#

You mean you want dps mains to play tank?

jagged crater
#

im going thru all the teams and seeing who their best widows are and it looks like titans might have the weakest widow?

#

stitch widow?

balmy wolf
#

stitch is good hitscan

jagged crater
#

i know he uis

#

but compared to other teams

balmy wolf
#

hes play with the best

swift moth
#

Who do valiant have as hitscan

jagged crater
#

ksf

swift moth
#

Shax?

jagged crater
#

ksf was nutting on widow

simple badger
#

Stitch is cute lol

jagged crater
#

like every team has a very capable widow

#

spark maybe not sure either, godsb?

swift moth
#

Who do the charge have as widow

jagged crater
#

happy

simple badger
#

Which team is sayaplayer

jagged crater
#

mayhem

swift moth
#

Mayhem

balmy wolf
#

krystal has good widow

jagged crater
#

ok krystal

balmy wolf
#

hunters have like 3 options

split heath
#

You are naming some very good widows that proved themselves in KR contenders

jagged crater
#

you've also seen them play on stage OWL

swift moth
#

Says hasn’t really popped off with widow this season

#

Saya

jagged crater
#

he has

#

just the other teammates cant follow up

swift moth
#

He got destroyed by decay who isn’t the gladiators widow player

jagged crater
#

mayhem has really bad synergy

#

decay is prob their best widow tbh

#

after surefour

split heath
#

Godsb and stitch played widow in owl?

jagged crater
#

stitch has

simple badger
#

Are spitfires any good anymore

balmy wolf
#

ehh

#

just mid tier

swift moth
#

Vancouver doesn’t need a widow

#

They have bumper hanzo to carry them

split heath
#

Was he bad?

balmy wolf
#

who was bad?

swift moth
#

@simple badger spitfire is meh. Season 2 they were over hyped

split heath
#

Stitch, He said stitch is the weakest widow

balmy wolf
#

he ain't a weak widow

jagged crater
#

he didnt play much of her

#

but he is their widow player

balmy wolf
#

The guy overall is a monster hitscan

split heath
#

Yeah I remember he’s really good on all the hits and

swift moth
#

He will probably be grinding her

jagged crater
#

ofc

split heath
#

Hitscans

balmy wolf
#

There just needs a meta for it

jagged crater
#

every single team has a player grinding widow

split heath
#

True I think it’s the meta

balmy wolf
#

Shock seems to have the most complete dps lineup

jagged crater
#

rascal himself can flex to almost any dps role

balmy wolf
#

same with Architect

jagged crater
#

cept widow

balmy wolf
#

huh?

jagged crater
#

architect and striker would do widow

#

rascal that is, he wouldnt do widow

split heath
#

But having good Pharah widow and hanzo might be the only thing that matters

#

These aren’t really any of sf’s players signature hero

jagged crater
#

which team has the weakest widow

#

take a guess

swift moth
#

architect signature is widow

balmy wolf
#

rascal covers both pharah and hanzo

swift moth
#

@split heath

split heath
#

Really

#

I thought it’s genji

jagged crater
#

nah it's actually genji but his widow is good too

split heath
#

And doom

swift moth
#

yeah

#

he has a great widow

jagged crater
#

he played widow last season

split heath
#

He’s like rascal, he doesn’t really have a signature

jagged crater
#

and did decent, even played in the widow 1v1s

swift moth
#

sinatraa could probably be the hanzo

jagged crater
#

i think he's more known for his genji coming from t2 yes

swift moth
#

and rascal on pharah

simple badger
#

Sinatra gona be benched if 222 comes

split heath
#

That sounds pretty week tbh

balmy wolf
#

Sinatraa already said he would be benched

split heath
#

If they can play sin hanzo and rascal Pharah they won’t even swap in Architect and striker today

jagged crater
#

he's competing against architect, striker and rascal for a non-tracer dps role, that's gonna be hard

split heath
#

Oh no I’m wrong

swift moth
#

plus striker has a better tracer

simple badger
#

Too bad tracer bad now

split heath
#

That was for the widow

jagged crater
#

for widow no question

#

did you see sinatraa's widow today xD

simple badger
#

He played widow? Lol

jagged crater
#

last minute yea

split heath
#

Whenever Sinatra try to flex on like reaper and widow

jagged crater
#

like a desperate pick hoping gets picks

swift moth
#

sinatraa widow WidowLUL

split heath
#

I know shd’s gonna take it

jagged crater
#

sinatraa would have to grind widow

#

obv not a comfort pick for him atm

split heath
#

He’s been grinding, but I don’t think this is a hero that can be grinded

jagged crater
#

a player needs to grind widow until they're comfortable with her

swift moth
#

^

split heath
#

Have you heard of any good widow in the league that wasn’t good but eventually got there by grinding

idle beacon
#

time to buy some SHD skins 😄

swift moth
#

owl widows cant be pussies

balmy wolf
#

@split heath striker grinded widow last yr

#

grinding heros does work

#

look at seagull

split heath
#

Ok, so maybe one

#

Yeah I’m saying widow is different

#

Seagull won’t be a good widow whatever how much he grinds

#

Could be wrong tho

jagged crater
#

beyond just clicking heads better, there's still positional and synergistic things to improve on w/ the team

balmy wolf
#

Don't doubt players on their ability to learn heroes they don't play as much.

jagged crater
#

seagull is prob mechanically limited

split heath
#

I’m definitely gonna doubt

jagged crater
#

on widow

split heath
#

And I think it’s ridiculous not to doubt that Sinatra will grind out a good widow

balmy wolf
#

Besides mechanics, its also a coaching thing too.

split heath
#

I personally don’t buy it

balmy wolf
#

But rn, his team doesn't need a widow, he needs to focus on other things.

jagged crater
#

sin has a better chance goin for the non-widow dps role yes

echo quest
#

Lmao coming from the fucking pelicans I’m dead

swift moth
#

press x to doubt

echo quest
#

Out of all teams

#

The pelicans lmaoooo

jagged crater
#

this kinda came out of left field

#

like outta nowhere

echo quest
#

They just lost their star player because he couldn’t play for a garbage ass franchise anymore

swift moth
#

everyone commenting hoes mad on the tweet omegalul

sinful bridge
#

SHANGHAIIIII

split heath
#

Because this is basically there season. After the summer league they will totally disappear lol

echo quest
#

Not really

sinful bridge
echo quest
#

They got the number 1 pick in the draft

split heath
#

Oh shit I forgot that

#

You are right

#

Big zion

echo quest
#

And the number 8th pick too. But yes they will be ass for the next 2-3 years

#

West is too stacked

minor flame
#

wtfi s summer league

swift moth
#

^

balmy wolf
#

think of it like contenders for overwatch

minor flame
#

but?

swift moth
#

I would say contenders seems more respectible

jagged crater
#

Contenders would be gleague

swift moth
#

since it has an impact on what people in pro league play

jagged crater
#

Summer league is preseason kinda

minor flame
#

so its like

balmy wolf
#

but not like the actual preseason

minor flame
#

Summer League is

#

Contenders for Contenders?

balmy wolf
#

ig....

#

i mean no one really cares that much

trim shadow

@jagged crater late but elli is a off tank and lulsish is a my

balmy wolf

at least one part of angry titans got in

spectrel not being in OWL still saddens me

Theres probably more signings to come

Since blizz/the leauge has to approve and finalize contracts

#

Were now inbetween stages

So expect madness

balmy wolf

and then all the DF fans are gonna be sad that they didn't pick up a new flex dps

Too soon

If uk

Let sdb and SOON pop off

echo quest

Contenders is definitely higher than summer league

crisp willow

Did Shanghai just win

hidden vault
#

Maybe dallas will sell akm to paris and pick up another garbage dps

echo quest

Think of summer league as a tournament that tells teams the players that belong in the nba and the others that don’t

DID SHANGHAI WIN

You can check the results

Akm to paris

balmy wolf

I mean why would u do that? The dps lineup is already pretty stacked

But the trade would be whoever that 3rd dps is

They ain't giving up dayne

Who is the trasher dps?

Yeah

balmy wolf

dayne has a nice hero pool

trim shadow

Nico

But nico can flex to dva

Apperantly

#

Akm would do the widow work
Soon tracer sombra
Sdb Genji

#

I think danye has pharah in@his pool

balmy wolf
#

danye can also has genji in his hero pool

#

and widowmaker

they compliment each other pretty nicely

Issa shame paris tried to force goats

With that dps talent they have

DAYUM SHAME

sdb can pharah too

2-2-2 is coming and I’m sad

Literally nothing we saw in the playoffs will be played

north beacon

As much as I’d love SHD to be auto locked into playoffs, it’s silly to give them a spot just bc of this win

trim shadow

222 has been in the works for a long time so

north beacon

I mean I think 2-2-2 will still be fun to watch

Not the worst thing

trim shadow

It will

But uk everyones paranoid of bunker

Not even that what happens if a team wins the stage and then just yeets the next stages

There is no stage 4 playoffs

upper hawk

I dont like the idea of limiting the potential of the game

trim shadow

Its play ins next

upper hawk

But it is what it is

north beacon
#

They could do something like award a few extra wins for winning a stage, but that gets complicated and hard to understand

trim shadow
#

Potential of the game with 30 heros

upper hawk

And god damn it the Gladiators have a rough schedule for stage 4

#

My boys are gonna drop out of the playoffs entirely probably

trim shadow

I never had them making it honestly

upper hawk

Yeah its not gonna be good. They play NYXL, Houston, VAL, SF and Spark

Do you think dive would come back with 2-2-2 lock?

No

Nah

If there is one hero you could delete from the game who would it be ?

Sombra for me

Kongdoo Panthera

What legends

trim shadow

Widow

upper hawk

Id probably still be on the delete brig train

jagged fox

I'd be down

upper hawk
#

Theres ways around her that werent obvious at the beginning

#

But shes rly an off tank that heals

upper niche
#

I think Dive will be interesting in a 2/2/2 meta.

#

I think Brig is plenty stong enough though, so we might not see so much dive.

balmy wolf
#

but sombra dive will be a thing more than tracer genji

#

shuts down brig easily

minor flame
#

lol nah

#

brig will suck ass

#

in 222

#

she will be non existent

analog hamlet

@upper niche Brig in 2-2-2 means no answer to nanoblade

Dive will probably destroy brig

well, nanoblade

she's still decent vs dive

just not really in a 2-2-2

They both are off tanks that play a bunch of dva, why get 2

Off tanks

Geguri is the only girl along with a lot of fans backing her up since the season 1 days

Geguri is the same as pine

sure that 60% of the shanghai fans are only fans cause of geguri

Thought it was because everyone wanting the underdog story

balmy wolf

Besides underdog status, during season 1 there wasn't much going on for them

trim shadow

Wanted*

And like dding and diem

balmy wolf

let me rephrase

I'm sure that in season 1, 60% of the fans were there for geguri but a huge chunk of that overlaps for the underdog story

Ima shanghai fan cause i like there logo

what is netease

kongdoo has a pretty decent fanbase that carried over

Sad they became team griffin

balmy wolf

I don't think anybody will or the girls won't accept because they know they're going to be literally there to sell jerseys and they'd be restricted from streaming which in all honesty makes them more money than playing pro which they don't actually get to do

I hope season 4 has new teams

jagged crater

LE TEAMS

balmy wolf

I am proud of shanghai for beating the top 3 teams

tropic herald

I think they keep Diya on so they can claim they aren’t full Korean and Geguri is a moral booster

trim shadow
#

Season 4 will more then likely have new teams

balmy wolf
#

am disappointed by NYXL for just being so utterly dps incompetent

tropic herald
#

Season 4 should have more

trim shadow

Considering everyone is going to there home cities

balmy wolf
#

I am proud of shock for making it close

echo quest
#

@balmy wolf they didn’t even play dps

balmy wolf

exactly

tropic herald

The amount of teams depends on how successful Season 3 is

trim shadow

Think blizz wanted to cap at 28 teams

balmy wolf

They could have

I say 30

balmy wolf

they chose not to

#

30 teams is nice

balmy wolf

hence

the disapointment

#

Like the nba

trim shadow
#

30 is balance

#

30 is also excitement

tropic herald
#

30 would make sense

trim shadow
#

And it adds more risk to losing

balmy wolf
#

I just hope we get more games

#

cause rn it's like what

#

24?

#

28?

tropic herald
#

28

trim shadow
#

It makes getting into stage playoffs all the more satisfying

#

I think the blizz arena will be used for stage playoffs and playoffs

echo quest
#

20 teams rn

balmy wolf
#

you mean finals?

trim shadow
#

Stage playoffs

#

N playoffs

balmy wolf
#

gotcha

tropic herald
#

:/ they better not try putting all of Playoffs in Blizzard arena

#

It can only hold like 450

balmy wolf
#

it's in the wells fargo arena in philly

#

they announce it like every week

tropic herald
#

Well I’m talking about next year if they do stage playoffs in blizzard arena

balmy wolf
#

Shame Philly won't be able to play in their own damn arena

#

But c'est la vie

tropic herald
#

Philly theoretically will be really good next year at least

balmy wolf
#

Meh

#

Diem proved himself better than Carpe who's been the main hard carry of philly

tropic herald
#

Well Philly has Funi to fall on

balmy wolf
#

So for the play offs

#

Shanghai, NYXL, Vancouver, Shock are likely the guaranteed spots

#

who else do you think is going in

tropic herald
#

Yeah Spark

echo quest
#

If it’s 2-2-2

tropic herald
#

Oh

Wells fargo center isnt phillys arena

Philly is getting a new built from@the ground up

Well temp

echo quest
#

Eqo hanzo and Carpe widow is nasty

balmy wolf
#

Carpe's widow got shut down. I'm afraid the rust has gotten to him

#

Diem Carpe now

echo quest
#

Also I wonder how come Philly never tried Eqo on zarya

#

@balmy wolf their stats were close

#

Very close

balmy wolf
#

Still

#

DIEM CARPE

echo quest
#

Striker got bodied

balmy wolf
#

Also

tropic herald
#

Striker only got bodied on his first game

echo quest
#

I mean he out duled diem in the 1v1 lol

balmy wolf
#

It's likely cause Carpe's mechanical skills on paper should have swapped to zarya's tracking since he was also their tracer

#

but it doesn't always work that way

#

And Striker has only played for shock on two maps

tropic herald
#

Carpe tried playing Zarya like a dps

balmy wolf
#

and got fucked on both

#

makes me happy

echo quest
#

Or like most dps other than comp he doesn’t practice it

#

Always on zarya

tropic herald
#

Also Philly’s GOATs as a whole is trash

balmy wolf
#

Stage 1 on Busan also on widow and got anihlated.
Stage 3 Finals on Oasis and again got anihilated

#

it brings a smile to my face to see him eat shit

tropic herald
#

Why?

balmy wolf
#

Cause ppl hype him up about as much as pine as a Widow and Tracer god and it annoys me greatly

echo quest
#

Wait who?

balmy wolf
#

Striker

tropic herald
#

Well he does have a really good tracer

echo quest
#

He’s the second best tracer in the league my guy

#

1B to sbb

#

Also hating on a player yikes

tropic herald
#

Hating a player bc they are good isn’t really that good of a reason to hate them

balmy wolf
#

I agree but people constantly claim he is the best at both tracer and widow and is number 1 at both and I hate that they actively refuse to admit he's neither of those

#

he's good

#

but damn sure ain't the best

echo quest
#

He’s arguably the best tracer

#

Lmao

tropic herald
#

He has an account with 38% crit what? He’s not the best but it’s pretty good

echo quest
#

Imagine hating on a 19 year old kid

tropic herald
#

Also playing two maps is not enough info

echo quest
#

^

#

He was a hard carry for Boston lol

balmy wolf
#

I don't hate him as an individual. Don't know what he's like. But I enjoy seeing him fail miserably. Yea but it proves that he's not good enough to be a starter.

tropic herald
#

...

#

He’s played two maps

echo quest
#

“ I enjoy seeing him fail miserably “ sounds like hating

tropic herald

He’s going to play next stage if there is 2-2-2

He should have a redemption arc

He doesn’t deserve a redemption

He's a legit pedo

He knew the girl was underage

Cool

tropic herald

That’s a crime

balmy wolf

thats like you saying bill cosby deserves a redemption arc from all the women he raped

Blizz suppoets pride so they like pedos

balmy wolf

that's not cool

That's literally not at all what that is

What the fuck

That’s literally flawed reasoning

Wait wat? I’m just saying he was a waste of talent

tropic herald

No not you

trim shadow

🤷🏽‍♂️ should know what your supporting before you blow it in everyones face

I think Rush is saying supporting LGBT = supporting Pedo

which is no

You*

Dream probably feels like shit from@what he did

Any pedo would

echo quest
#

And?

tropic herald
#

He deserves too

balmy wolf
#

Doesn't matter, he still did it even though he knew it

echo quest
#

Doesn’t make it any less wrong lmao

#

He should be happy he didn’t got to jail

tropic herald
#

He knowingly committed a crime, a felony

trim shadow
#

The flawed logic is dream shouldnt have redemption but toxic muma is fine

#

Or xqc

#

@echo quest thats a filtered word

echo quest
#

Your actually dumb

tropic herald
#

Pedophilia is a whole different level of wrong

trim shadow
#

Very dumb

tropic herald
#

Dream hasn’t ever said he was sorry

balmy wolf
#

Muma didn't try to rape someone and neither did xqc. Xqc doesn't even care about the game he's a variety streamer with like his toe in the gladiator's contender's team

trim shadow
#

Ppl dont have to say sorry?

tropic herald
#

Let me get this to you.

trim shadow
#

It was a contenders players that actually tried to rape a minor but alright

tropic herald
#

Dream knowingly hit on a minor, that is a crime.

tawny sigil
#

Guys, how much money do you think I can make, by selling an info to OWL players about knowing what character the enemy team picked before the match is underway

trim shadow

What was dream

She was 14?

tropic herald

Oh god

Don’t use that logic

@trim shadow who?

That sky fox player?

I think

I dont remember who

But i remember reading a contenders players actually uk commited it

#

Didnt rlly care to savor his name cause your a nobody in contenders unless ur a personality or a god

#

Or if your controversial

#

Like Whoru

#

To conclude..Dream was at fault for touching/talking to a minor without confirming her age
Shes at fault for not disclosing her age to a adult

Everyones to blame ZaryaLUL

#

Mom dad dream girl

#

Therefore i dont hold pedo over his name..alot of dudes get caught up with minors cause they look 23 BUT NEVER DISCLOSE THERE AGE

@trim shadow he knew her age lol

My guy stop defending a pedo lol

trim shadow

Boston would get bombrushed if they kept dream

upper niche

Because at the time it appeared credible and they didn't investigate thoroughly. Also for many employers merely being charged is being seen as having sufficient grounds.

Your the plantiff in this situation its you who haa to provide

I’m waiting

upper niche

There's an assumption that if the police have enough evidence to bring charges, they must be in to something - sadly. We had that with a board I w on a few years ago, where a professional athlete w charged, but not convicted, and at the time that was deemed sufficient.

echo quest
#

@trim shadow I did provide you just refuse to believe them so I’m asking you for a source

trim shadow

You provided a reddit post

About this being fake

Not a article

Ight bet

Hold up

Reddit has the same credibility as dirt

If I could post images I would

If memory serves correctly DK was charged but then acquitted as the evidence was found to have been fraudulently produced and he was preyed on.

echo quest
#

@upper niche where did you get that lmao

trim shadow
#

@upper niche you know why

#

Cause dream has money

#

This is to common in professional@sports /celebrity hood

#

Where a gullible guy gets hooked on a beauitful girl

#

Nd then she throws rape at him

echo quest
#

Jesus Christ I’m done lol. Can’t get more delusional

upper niche
#

Do you have evidence that he was convicted? Because I distinctly remember hearing that the charges had been dropped, and everyone pointing out at the time that that wouldn't get nearly as much coverage as the actual to begin with, so his reputation remains trashed as a result of people only being interested in touring the drama, but not correction.

trim shadow
#

Precisely

balmy wolf
#

You guys want some real shit?

#

on DK i mean

#

I love having access to OWL chats

trim shadow
#

now thats hard to fake

#

thats almost startaling

balmy wolf
#

this was when bleeple was still analyst for BU

#

so... a LONG time ago

trim shadow
#

this means that huk let dream go was because of the volatile ow community ?

balmy wolf
#

oh no remember when the first things came out and it was like

#

while we investigate, DK will be suspended temporarily

#

this was right before that period started

trim shadow
#

before reddit start filling up with articles and screenshots?

#

what ever happened to the girl who accused DK

balmy wolf
#

mhm

#

the following is 100% rumor

trim shadow
#

like any rape allegation sadly

balmy wolf
#

her family didnt follow through with any legal action against DK on the basis that he didn't act on anything in person

#

he has returned to boosting and playing OW on a smurf named Ayez

trim shadow
#

sounds like a DK thing he would do

balmy wolf
#

ive played against ayez in ranked a couple times

#

it was fucking impossible to do

#

he just... has such a flanking widow playstyle and his genji is so annoying to duel

echo quest

Everyone knows ayez is DK

oh the family following through thing is rumored

#

after that is wellknown

my favorite part is on liquidpedia his approx earning is $123

The personal photos of DK sent to the girl are hard to fake

youd be suprised what people can do in photshop lakim

and yes

same with deepfakes

@trim shadow you think a 14 year old would go to so much trouble for that?

trim shadow

DK wasnt that well liked striker was right

#

DK had the talent yes but he wasnt a personality

#

it is not far of a reach that the girl either

balmy wolf
#

not her but others wanting attention yes

#

its not uncommon

trim shadow
#

A. recieved funding which is ithink illegal

#

B. or someone did it free of charge

#

you can take a photo of dream

echo quest
#

So you think he isn’t a pedo?

trim shadow
#

standing clothed in a room

#

darken the background a bit

#

remove his shirt which is complicated

#

boom your evidence

#

im always skeptical of high profile players/celebs being a pedo..when they never displayed it in public

#

like sexual jokes comments

saying hell do this and that
