like...supports tanks are gonna be key if gzc vs atlata happens

#

sure nero and happy can carry but rio doesnt hold his weight

#

hotba pops off sometimes

#

and then you have shu and the other guy who are fairly quiet

tropic herald
#

Shu is good Chara is meh

#

Hotba can be good and Rio is average

trim shadow
#

looking at that bracket

#

thats a cakewalk for reign

#

thats if it ended today

upper niche
#

ah it wont be like that cos ATL will move too much

#

ATL won't be 11th

trim shadow
#

litterally just laid out atlanta schedule

#

they have washington boston dallas

#

the only problem is dealing with corey's widow

upper niche
#

ATL have WAS, LDN, DAL, BOS still to come.

trim shadow
#

and stratus

tropic herald
#

The meta will also wildly change probably again before postseason though

trim shadow
#

atlanta can 4-0 dallas and boston

#

thatll move them up regardless

upper hawk
#

Dallas OMEGALUL

trim shadow
#

is the map diff and maybe win from washington

upper niche
#

So basing it on 'today', the ridiculous way they rank players on teh website - it's just absurd. Because they look at losses, not wins.

trim shadow
#

im shaking in my fuckign boots about tommorows game

balmy wolf
#

I expect ATL to collapse in the play ins

trim shadow
#

like im really nervous how nlaeer will dance with corey

tropic herald
#

ATL kinda looks like Philly

upper niche
#

I have ATL winning 3 out of those 4 matches - WAS, DAL and BOS.

tropic herald
#

From last year

trim shadow
#

this washington match will show how atlanta will do in play ins

#

oh right london..fucking london

#

reeee

echo quest
#

If Atlanta wins against Washington than LAV is out right?

upper niche
#

But yeah, that's based on rankings. WAS look incredible.

tropic herald
#

If ATL beats WAS or LDN they have a solid chance

upper niche
#

No.

balmy wolf
#

I wouldn't exactly put justice at the top of the pack

upper hawk
#

Honestly theres one reason i dont trust ATL and it rhymes with shmaybybay

trim shadow
#

lav is out if chengdu goes 2-0 this weekend

upper niche
#

LAV is all down to how CDH do. Forget anyone else.

#

VAL need 14 wins on the board, that's the goal.

tropic herald
#

Justice is Top 4 currently

trim shadow
#

lav has to pray chengdu doesnt fuck san fran

#

chengdu can fuck houston easily but its san fran

#

if chengdu goes 1-1 they still have a shot

tropic herald
#

Probably only 2nd to SFS

trim shadow
#

also lav has to win there matches this weekend

balmy wolf
#

Well LA is kind of done for, they face glads and san fran in the homestand

echo quest
#

I doubt LAV get in

upper niche
#

I have an assumption that CDH will beat HOU. What VAL need is one of those two GLA or SFS games to go their way OR HOU to beat CDH. CDH losing to HOU alone will do it, if VAL beat BOS.

upper hawk
#

Idk for this stage i feel teams are going to hold strats back. Especially the ones more solidified in a playoff spot

balmy wolf
#

You aint winning against san fran

tropic herald
#

LAV needs a miracle to get in

echo quest
#

They have a guaranteed loss to the Shock

upper hawk
#

So i dont expect full efforts from every team

echo quest
#

Probably glads as well

upper niche
#

Literally the only thing VAL need is for HOU to beat CDH.

trim shadow
#

chengdu is currently sitting at 12-14 -8 map diff

echo quest
#

That’s not happing

trim shadow
#

lav is 11-14 -1 map diff

#

all la has todo is win

echo quest
#

Against Glads and Shock

trim shadow
#

and chengdu loses to either houston or san fran

echo quest
#

Ez

trim shadow
#

no thats in week 5 for this week la plays boston

upper hawk
#

BongoShield Valiant are gonna have to lose that one

upper niche
#

Yep. Basically LAV will get in on map diff if all they can do is get 1 win more than CDH.

upper hawk
echo quest
#

LAV are done

#

They’re not beating SFS

#

Or glads

upper hawk
echo quest
#

Two best teams in the league imo

trim shadow
#

also seoul plays shanghai and philly so this makes shit even more confusing

upper niche
#

HOU just need to come good like they did a lil while ago.

trim shadow
#

houston is eliminated

upper niche
#

yes

upper hawk
#

If the gladiators can play consistent then i agree. They have one of the best DPS pairs and one of the best healing pairs there are

upper niche
#

I mean in terms of the CDH vs LAV h2h

upper hawk
#

But they just take maps off sometimes

trim shadow
#

its a damn shame valiant might get beat in there own homestand

#

first time a home team goes 0-2 at home

upper niche
#

VAL could also concievably knock out PHI, but it's unlikely. VAL would need 2 wins to do that, and PHI to lose all their remaining games - which i expect

echo quest
#

Bqb lost mayhem that series

trim shadow
#

philly has to drop against seoul

echo quest
#

Fat finger at the worst time

trim shadow
#

if philly drops againts seoul

#

theres a reality they miss top 12

tropic herald
#

I mean VAL went 0-7 in LA too so it’s nothing new

trim shadow
#

i dont think philly is guranteed

upper niche
#

THey're not.

#

Best possible wins. 16: SEO, ATL, SHD. 15: GZC, PHI. 14: CDH, VAL.

trim shadow
#

shanghai at this rate will continue to fall

#

so chengdu is probably slapping there knee right now

upper niche
#

Best possible map diff: SEO: 22. ATL: 24. GZC: 4. SHD: 10. PHI: -1. CDH: 0. VAL: 11.

trim shadow
#

its possible shanghai falls out of play ins if chengdu goes 2-0 with val winning as well

echo quest
#

Gg

#

Not even a tick

upper niche
#

Basically, 12th place has a 'Worst possible wins' of 12.

upper hawk
#

Bruh the OWL site triggers me with their stat keeping

upper niche
#

If you don't have 12 series wins, you can't make it.

upper hawk
#

Can they friggin actually order the standings by wins

#

Theyve had NYXL above VAN for idk how long now.

#

Its a 3 win difference at this point LULW

trim shadow
#

van is above nyxl for me

upper niche
#

The rules are clear: placings are determined by Wins.

echo quest
#

Even if chengdu loses to Houston, I don’t see LAV beating to glads or NYXL

upper hawk
#

Bruh xqcW

upper niche
#

THe way they order it on the website is idiotic.

trim shadow
#

in stage 3 placing was determined by map diff

upper hawk
#

Maybe my app is fked

trim shadow
#

now with crunch time

echo quest
#

Not nyxl

trim shadow
#

its determined by wins

echo quest
#

SFS

#

My bad

upper niche
#

It is irrelevant that one team has played less matches than another in the standings.

trim shadow
#

so this weekend valaint has to beat boston

#

theres no losing or there eliminated

#

same with chengdu

#

chengdu has togo 1-1 or 2-0 to stay at 12th

upper niche
#

So SEO have won this one.

echo quest
#

Ye

upper niche
#

it's hilarious the way it works out like that, a draw when you're 2-0 down heh. Hell, even the inability to get 1 tick on point 1.

echo quest
#

Wdym?

upper niche
#

@echo quest If you are on map 3 and you are 2-0 down, and you don't get 1 tick on point A offence, the best you can do is draw the map when you play on defence - you can't win.

#

Therefore, the best you can achieve for that match is 2-1.

#

Therefore, you can not win the match.

trim shadow
#

so seoul just beat shanghai

#

guangzhou goes up

#

shanghai goes down

mental python
#

Wtf happened to Shanghai lol

upper niche
#

Seoul had already beaten Shanhai 3 minutes ago.

echo quest
#

Feelsbad but it’s Shanghai fault for playing like shit

trim shadow
#

also philly goes up

#

but then philly will lose to seoul

#

so ?????

whole mulch
#

@mental python 2-2-2 happened

trim shadow
#

oh shit zipchair gaming

balmy wolf
#

Not subbing diem in happened

whole mulch

if seoul gets the 4-0 shanghai is fucked

mental python
#

at least Fleta finally got some playtime

whole mulch
#

Wait did seoul win yet

trim shadow
#

cause with the rest of everyones schedule below them...theyre gonna lose

whole mulch
#

wasnt watchin

trim shadow
#

atlanta will go 7-0
chengdu can finish the stage with 1-1 this weekend
and valiant beats boston and takes a map off gladiators

whole mulch
#

Also @trim shadow what does the hat in your pfp say

#

kinda curious lol

echo quest
#

Glister is getting moved up season

#

Next*

trim shadow
#

the dragons have fallen

balmy wolf
#

Dragons are just not subbing in their better players

trim shadow
#

dragons doesnt have the flexibility

#

this was like

whole mulch
#

I'm pretty sure they have reasons

trim shadow
#

evident all year

#

with fearless wasnt in america

balmy wolf
#

dragons do have flexibility, its dding and diem who have the big pools

#

dding literally can play any projectile dps

#

diem can play any hitscan

#

but yet you played youngjin on doom the whole time

mental python
#

All hail Fleta 🛐

echo quest
#

Mayhem gonna be nasty next year

#

They just need another dps to support Saya

trim shadow
#

I still dont trust bqb as his partner

echo quest

That and dpi

He was the weakest member of WGS

clear crane

michelle toxic D:

#

lmao whole squad toxic now

upper niche
#

So if London win on Sunday, they pretty much don't have to play another game for three weeks - their next match would be on 2019-09-06.

idle beacon
#

damn

#

SHD days are over, eh?

sullen berry
#

after Dallas, GZ will get a stage 4 break while rivalry weekend is on Smile

upper niche
#

Everyone else that would make the top 6 plays next week in the KitKat weekend.

sullen berry
#

which is grand

#

because if Valiant smash

#

they could knock chengdu off #12

#

but that's about it, chengdu can only move up one spot and play NYXL a second time

#

(depends if they seed like reg season playoffs during the play-ins)

upper niche
#

If LAV beat GLA or SFS and CDH dont beat SFS, LAV are in.

#

assuming CDH beat HOU and LAV beat BOS

#

If HOU beat CDH and LAV beat BOS (or win any one of their three matches), LAV are in.

sullen berry
#

odds are prime for an upset

#

not for dallas, it seems

upper niche
#

DAL can't make it.

#

DALs best possible wins is 12. You need 14 tomake it in.

sullen berry
#

3-1 would be an improvement against GZ, in all honesty

upper niche
#

er. 13 depending on CDH/LAV

#

CDH/LAV are the only two teams that can get in on 13.

sullen berry
#

if they wait until Sunday to finally realise they have nothing to lose

#

mickie and the envy bench boys might actually pop off for the fans

upper niche
#

It's okay. Custa has been practicing Doomfist. We could see something special.

#

In fact I've seen him play Ashe too and I don't want to be against that team.

sullen berry
#

I need another IDDDQ moment where the skeleton subs RISE to the occasion

#

I would be very concerned if custa's doomfist means something with their support

upper niche
#

You know if HZS lost to GLA and SHD, they wont make top 6, and SEO will.

sullen berry
#

that would be

upper niche
#

In fact if that happens, SEO get a longer break than LDN!

sullen berry
#

quite the upset, given their long term success without Krystal

#

nice one, GOATS

upper niche
#

Wasn't there a Russian player Boston had that they dropped?

trim shadow
#

Boston has dropped alot@of@people

upper niche
#

Including an owner?

balmy wolf
#

Not an owner.

#

They dropped players and staff.

#

Their biggest lost was probably crusty.

#

NRG probs drop a fuck load of money to get crusty

echo quest
#

That and crusty wanted full control

#

With HuK you don’t get that

balmy wolf
#

Tru, guess shock was willing to see how crusty would do

#

Made the shock franchise a team to be feared

#

Flame said he wanted crusty, but their org offered crusty a salary so small it made boston players look rich

echo quest
#

Now they must not implode in the playoffs like nyxl

#

Last season

balmy wolf
#

I think they'll do fine

#

NY has never been that great of a playoff team

trim shadow
#

Bostons biggest lost was striker

balmy wolf
#

I think it was crusty

#

There was no way boston could've gotten a 10-0 without his coaching, even if wins were mostly map 5's

#

Then in stage 4 they kicked the bucket

upper niche
#

oh. fuck. off. Australia is ineligible from League Picks, that's BS.

whats MESO

minor flame

man imagine 222 putting you on tank jail

#

thats probably worse than brig jail when you play as dva

tawny sigil

imagine 222 making you the best team in the league but your chance is already gone.... or vice versa

upper niche
#

@tawny sigil Melbourne e-Sports Open. It's in two weeks time, Contenders final is being held there as well as a number of other games.

tawny sigil
#

what is WJ being there relevant?

karmic grotto
#

well lmao, this is kinda unusual

#

Am reviewing some Titan vod vs Fusion, on Busan Meka Base

#

Death of SMS at one point by Reaper could have been avoided by positioning/ and staying on position, secondly, Haksal ecountered Carpe, but Haksal didn't say that Carpe was on top?

#

Then Carpe killed SMS, then ulted

#

Do OWL players sometimes have communication problems?

balmy wolf
#

sometimes yeah

#

rarely but it happens

karmic grotto
#

Watching it further

#

Tunnelvision by SMS

#

What I see, they focus so much what's in front of them, that they don't take less than a sec the time to peak their surroundings

#

Both Haksal and SMS completely missed the wall made by EQO to hide Reaper on their left side

#

Wall was literally there

#

Could have been avoided, but since it's an OWL match, you can't always focus on little things

#

@balmy wolf amazing, seems like even OWL Zaryas do this: taking in space in a positioning they shouldn't be instead of being near the main tank

#

Literally the focus fire on the off tank becuz it was there for no reason

#

I hope SeoMinSoo learned from this

slender lance
#

I think it may have just been him trying to make himself effective since they were running orisa zarya

#

I could be wrong but that's what I saw it as

karmic grotto
#

Bruh,

balmy wolf
#

i haven't been too involved in owl strats and such lately due to it being a weird ass bumfuck

#

so i cant say for sure

karmic grotto
#

They compensated it

#

they cluthed that thing

#

Such a clutch team

slender lance
#

That's what the Titans have always done

#

Lost a player and still won the fight

#

The have the highest win rate after getting loosing a player

#

Maybe that's their strat

#

Someone feeds and then they clutch it

karmic grotto
#

Enemy team wasting their cooldowns on a single hero:

Titans: It's free real estate now

mental estuary
#

the only have a simple mentality

#

Forward my friends, we neva lose

karmic grotto
#

I am actually learning things SMS could have done better, as I would have done better too. Watching someone else making a mistake creates an opportunity for you to learn

#

Seeing the same type of things, off tank in front of main tank is asking for you to get focus fire by enemy and die

#

OWL strats though, when you see through, you can predict what will happen

#

If the main tank of the enemy places a barrier almost on a choke or when they move forward and claim space, you shouldn't be near that as off tank. Can not hold the space that is NOT created by YOUR main tank

#

interesting to see how fast you're being punished

slender lance
#

That's why I watch Boston and Dallas games

#

Just so I can learn

#

And how to capitalize on mistakes

karmic grotto
#

Analyzing the match further, at Downtown: SMS positioning and Haksal focus fire on Poko caused them to lose the fight. At the moment Fusion came from the top of the bridge thing, Haksal had to wall their teammates to protect against focus fire, then he could have used his ult

#

Neither Bumper, nor SMS, nor Slime had to die if Haksal did that

#

If you play Mei, using her walls isn't only offensive but also to protect your teammates when Orisa doesn't have shield to protect against sudden focus fire

slender lance
#

Was haskal in position for that

karmic grotto
#

Yes

#

totally

#

But he had his attention to Poko

slender lance
#

Was poko out of position

#

Or was haskal just ult charge hungry

balmy wolf
#

knowing both of them

#

probably both lol

karmic grotto
#

I''ll show you image

slender lance
#

Wtf

#

It looks like haskal was flanking

karmic grotto
#

No idea what he was doing

#

He was on the left side right, but Fusion decided to go from the top

#

Smart from Fusion, but why didn't Haksal anticipate the attack from Fusion?

#

If he didn't tunnel vision, he could have seen Bumper not having Orisa shield on cooldown

slender lance
#

I think haskal had the idea that if he could take poko out of mech then they could win the shield war

#

That's the only reason I see valid

#

But it probably wasn't that

karmic grotto
#

I agree, that's a possibility

#

But Haksal tries to flank the d.va instead of protecting his teammates

#

Which he could have done easily

#

Could have walled, then used ult since D.va was looking at that way

slender lance
#

Stitch should have been the one to flank I think

#

But

karmic grotto
#

Stich was behind Orisa

#

Behind Sado

slender lance
#

Then why were they both flanking

#

That doesn't seem like a good strat

karmic grotto
#

It wasn't lmao and it got punished

slender lance
#

Especially since they have zarya and no dva

#

If they had a dva they might have been able to get saved

karmic grotto
#

He tried to freeze d.va for 2 seconds

#

Possible freezing d.va to grav

#

Two possible things he could have done: what I said earlier, but also the reverse of it would have worked, Fusion coming in > Throw Mei ult, then wall, then remove wall, then Titans can easily kill them off

#

Could have been 100%

#

@slender lance As you said, watching teams who make many mistakes, you can learn a lot of what you could have done better

slender lance
#

That's the main reason I watch the games that are the good teams vs the bad

#

But their seem to be a good about it reasons for what haskal did

#

The question is were they valid

karmic grotto
#

Freeze dva --> grav ?

#

I think that was the strat

slender lance
#

I think they all could have been but it was just really poor execution

#

He could have been with his team and still freeze poko

#

On that little ledge next to the stairs in front of poko

karmic grotto
#

Fusion made good use the positioning of the Titans

#

Ah, I see what you mean

slender lance
#

I feel like if he was there then he could freeze poko and hop down to wall off fusion

#

And they probably would have won that fight

karmic grotto
#

That is one scenario, but if you go back in time, it all started with Twilight

slender lance
#

I don't see twilight in the pic

#

So he was either out if position

#

Or coming from spawn

karmic grotto
#

It's before

#

10 seconds before

#

But that's a story for another time, they could have clutched it 5v6

slender lance
#

Well

#

Fusion was coming up on all their ults

karmic grotto
#

They only used 1 ult when starting the fight, was Moira's ult

#

But Twilights for no reason positioning

#

lead to his death by Eqo wall

slender lance
#

And Titans don't look like they are in a position where they want to use ults

karmic grotto
#

Indeed

#

Wrong execution

slender lance
#

They were at 75% and probably wanted to just get it into 1 fight territory

karmic grotto
#

They could have forced it

#

by using their ults

#

then Fusion had to use theirs too

echo quest
#

No way they run that strat with sms against a Decent team

slender lance
#

Yeah but I think they may have wanted to just win the last fight with ults

#

So I think the whole plan might have been get into 1 fight territory and then use ults

karmic grotto
#

You'd think Titans are one of the best teams in the League, but seeing these tiny mistakes, holy shit

#

Like mistakes you'd see in ranked

slender lance
#

I think that's why they have lost those matches

#

They make small mistakes that add up a lot

They got lucky with London

The Paris c9 was the funniest shit this year

karmic grotto
#

so uhm.. is nyxl sandbagging before trying hard in playoffs

trail lodge
#

Everyone is saying Boston is washed but the only reason they lost was because Huk was signaling to Ali Khamenei to stop Iranian aggression in the Persian Gulf. Playing Persia with Fusions, an Englishmen, and losing was an allegory to show that Iran forcefully seizing British oil tankers will similarly result in a loss for Iran in real life. Blase, an American, also played as Roadhog (who was born in a radioactive wasteland) in tonight’s loss to symbolize the collapse of the Iran-USA nuclear deal

Routing for London Spitfire
If they win on Sunday vs Altanta we in the top 6, cmon, still p###ed that we lost to Florida though

mental estuary
#

It truly doesnt make much sense that they lost to florida yea

dusk sphinx
#

I don't think London will beat Reign though

#

The Reign are top tier this meta

slender lance
#

I think London is just insanely inconsistent and there is literally no telling how well they'll play

#

They have good players

trim shadow
#

Atlanta 3-1

slender lance
#

Some top teams have one or too bad games where they loose to a middle teir team but London loses to teams in every their

trim shadow
#

London

#

Got 3-0

#

By florida

#

They only took the titans to a map 5 cause the titans are very hot and cold

slender lance
#

Atlanta will beat London tonight if they keep paying how they have been

trim shadow
#

They play washington

slender lance
#

Titans are hot and cold because they spent too long playing hooreg instead of stitch I think

trim shadow
#

London is sunday

#

To be Washington all u have todo is control corey

#

Beat*

#

If u let corey dictate the pace of the game

slender lance
#

If he is contested then they can win

trim shadow
#

You wont win

slender lance
#

Agreed

trim shadow
#

That could be said for any owl team but its the case in washington

#

cause once they hit their strides they start getting over aggresive

dusk sphinx
#

Beating Justice is the same as beating Corey

trim shadow
#

Something like that

dusk sphinx
#

Shut him down and you shut the Justice down

trim shadow
#

My hope is erster keeps hitting his strides

#

Erster and babybay

#

X factor for my boys is Masaa and dog

#

And erster

#

Its the same as guangzhou if u Silence happy or shu they fall apart

dusk sphinx
#

Even then the Reign should overwhelm the Justice cause their playstyle favours the matchup vs the Justice

trim shadow
#

It also depends on map

dusk sphinx
#

As the Reign are pretty much the most aggressive team in the league and Janus is just a joke

#

Meaning he will probably fall first every single fight unless Corey gets a very early pick

#

That being said I didn't find the Justice very convincing vs Mayhem either

trim shadow
#

The houston match kinda revealed to me washingtons weaknesses

#

But i never watched it all the way through so i cant comment

dusk sphinx
#

Yeah the Washington are like glass cannons

storm cloak

I like Washington

#

I agree they aren't consistent

#

Also Shanghai isn't doing well bc they cant run 3 dps

dusk sphinx
#

Shanghai were imo the most boring team anyways so I'm glad their real skill is shown now ZaryaLUL

Unpopular opinion: it's easier to watch and understand goats than 222

#

I've been thinking about this for a while

trim shadow
#

thats not even close to true

#

goats is just

#

a mosh pit

slender lance
#

Yeah but

#

You see all 12

#

In 222 I don't see all 12 in every 6v6 fight

#

I just have trouble following the dps all the time

trim shadow
#

how

slender lance
#

Because their just never with the team half the time

#

Their either flanking or way in the back

#

I know no one else understands but it's just my personal opinion

#

I also thought goats and dive are the best metas we have had because of the amount of coordination it requires to work

supple prism
#

Goats and goats 2 is easy to watch. Dive was kinda hard to but eventually became kind of predictable

slender lance
#

So what do you guys think will be the best game to watch

limber pine
#

today?

slender lance
#

Yes

karmic grotto
#

justice atlanta

slender lance
#

Thats what I was thinking

#

I think it's the most even match today

tawny sigil
#

is contender 2 2 2

dusk sphinx
#

Goats is like... The most skilled meta with dive... It's REALLY hard to understand its ins and outs

limber pine
#

contenders is in 2-2-2 yes

trim shadow
#

i saw some matches and it looked like a rule 222 not a hard lock

#

someone had switched to brig and had 3 supports so

#

but i could be wrong

#

@dusk sphinx yea who can hit q at the right time is skill

dusk sphinx
#

I can assure you Goats on the pro scene required much more from teams than lets say triple dps

balmy wolf
#

every meta when played for that long is the "most skilled"

#

and every single meta when initially starting out is "skillless and stupid"

#

if goats came before dive, people would hate dive and ask for goats back

#

theres so much depth to each and every single team composition on each part of each map with each variant of each meta comp with each aggro style

storm cloak
#

#

I just like watching genji play

#

I dont care about comps too much. Although goats was slightly boring for me

#

But I loved watching pharah play against goats but when its pharah vs pharah it's not as entertaining

He was probably delayed cause visa

is there really enough time to integrate him into the roster

Hes like

The best winston but winston has issues

Thats what i remember

Does he have a good Orisa

cuz that's all that matters atm

trim shadow

And vancouver has a week and athe play ins

balmy wolf

should they really be integrating a brand new main tank into the roster during the playoffs tho

Wouldnt hurt them to much

@vale pond Bumper is a professional player

He is required by contract to act better than this

Extremely irresponsible of him to throw and grief over not getting Sigma in one game and risking being fined and penalised and potentially costing his team games and the season
