unfortunately in grand finals there's no bracket reset
titans are going to the finals against shock/nyxl/spark?
yes
yea ok i get it
👍
Double elim is lose 2 you're out unless you're winner side of grand finals
In this case
I want to get a jersey
But I don't watch owl
But the defiant jerseys looks sick
What's the right thing to do
@balmy wolf do you mean the 'alt' jerseys?
into the am jerseys
oh those are good
yeah
so yeah, the alt jerseys
those are the 3rd aka alt jerseys
it says six on every language
yeah that's a shame
I wouldn't mind NYXL losing if SBB didn't throw away a blossom on every map
when they were down 2 or more players
I need to catch up on what's been going on
I just started getting into it yesterday
Vancouver won 4-3
yep
it was close for a majority
but a common trend was SBB just throwing away ultimates
on I believe literally every map
expect numbani
He clutch out that map pretty hard
the rest was bad
What happens now is NYXL out? Is there a losers redemption or something
They're in the finals of the loser's bracket
where they face either shock or spark depending on who wins that game tomorrow
and then they play that team on sunday
then we move onto grand finals
I'm fairly sure he threw at least one reaper ult away on numbani
when he was on the bastion I agree or comboing with his team yea
every other instance
just reaper ult after 3 ppl die
The match won't start for another 11 hours
Wait it got delayed
Ah right
I thought it came after titans excel
The app said it was live
Confusing
It's live for the Rewatch of todays match. For this weekend there should be one match per day
Guys I'm on a little vacation so I'm not caught up on the league. Can someone catch me up?
Titans beat xl?
Chance of what?
nyxl only fights for a third place
nothing more
EDIT: You're right, they still have chance in losers final
Overwatch League website has some odd scheme about it, Liquipedia is the better
Is there a third place match? I didn't see it in the bracket
Well, there isn't
I was wrong about that
Today is the third losers match before any of them gets to play nyxl tomorrow
Then, the team that loses that match, becomes third
double elimination... exept if you won every match, then you did too good, You're eliminated at the final, maybe 
which ever team loses today is fourth place, and which ever lose tommorow is third

I honestly don’t get these brackets
There's something we need to face reality for
Haksal & Co lost Numbani
For the first time since 2017

And got absolutely dumpstered on Anubis
Who is still in?
Shock vs spark
winner of that game fights NYXL
and the winner of that game fights the Titans
And in all honesty
I'm expecting shock
how deep that team goes is absurd
So my predictions
Shock vs Spark goes 4-1
Shock vs NYXL goes 4-3
Shock vs Titans goes 4-2
Dallas Fuel 7-0 Titans
Season 3?

Anime don't follow the rules
@karmic grotto titans already lost numbani last week
when da game start?
its already going
why is this channel so dead
did people think it was gonna be 6 hours from now like last week
spark wins the first fight, spark wins
Kinda funny that Shock capped point just cause Bazzi was overextending
And now they lose point
Cause Sinatraa overextended
well its doomfist job to over extend
They could have had the fight at 40%
the fuck where they doing?
They could all have gone to the point while Shock grouped up
Meanwhile I think viol2t from shock was stalling the point
ALONE
everyone on Shock split up so they took priority over Viol2t
they chose to go after Choi and Moth first
before going over to Viol2t
Shock already lost the team fight but Spark has no idea who to target focus
Clutch meteor strike
lol
trying to catch the wallriding lucio
and sigma eating dva matrix
instead of the moira at the objective
You know what I call that?
ranked match
you know worst case scenario, they leave both choi and moth and go after viol2t
viol2t rotates back with fade to choi and moth
and they reunite with the other half of the team
that just turns into a even more losable fight
Let me see the fight and watch where shock splits up
but that IDK saving sound barrier was probably what cost them
And far from objective
Where was it where you could watch OWL streams in higher bitrate?

Spark for fuck sake
5v3
3 split up
lets Moira stall the point until Shock groups up
If they target focus Moira, others of Shock couldnt help because they would be eliminated
Wait the shock are playing spark rn?
Yee
How is it going?
lmao
ye
that stun
it's early days
Map 1?
2
Score?
1 to shock
Kings Row
And they still let Shock stall the point
Oh
The f*ck was wrong with Spark at that moment
Jfc that was a stomp on attack
where the hell is eichenwalde
👏 Can't stop the Shock! 👏
What players are the shock playing?
?
sparks have been druged?
nice try
maaan i was about get excited for winston dva
oh damn
that's wholesome
i still havent watched the interview
it would make me sad
ROUND 7 TIME
2cp was a mistake
one tick baby! let's go
This match really makes me wonder how shock lost to atlanta
every team has a bad day sometimes
oh thats easy
under estimated ATL
and then lost and got mad and creamed london
and now riding that wave
Still charge 4-0 atlanta and now shock is getting rolled
feelsbadman
yeah they looked bad
Atlanta are in general really good when they have that underdog position
really poetic if its nyxl, titans and shock in the final 3
... is it tho
idk
they were up and down all season, with some doubts, but they come back to be in the final 3
mostly up tho
true
I hope for a shock vs titans finales would be amazing because they both lost and won a stage final so that match will decided who is the King of overwatch
its just that ppl thought that nyxl would immediately choke, and that titans would do ok, but not win it
it would be more poetic if it was nyxl spark in the final
pulling out the bench as usual

so close
massive fight
if it took them that long to push
this is my favorite caster duo, so much energy
shock has a major advantage
alright back to square 1 1/4
its a melee defense matrix
wtf shock
yea thats a problem
Yikessss
i thought spark would take a map
what ever happened to the eliminated team interview
they do it after this
they only did dynasty and none else
@balmy wolf yo
its like they didnt expect this level of raw emotion and they decided to cut it
must have been way later
guess loser team decides if they want too or not
dynasty was like straight after
before the player of the match
who's birthday was it?
@balmy wolf yo
What are yall's opinion on double elim format so far
It's fine
every team gets two shots
shock vs spark its 3-0
i come back its 4-3
WTF?????
except for the team that makes it to the grand finals thru the winners finals
I mean yea but in return they get to spectate their competition more
as I think a reward for doing better and more break time
Will winner of Shock vs Spark beat NYXL?
I was trying not to spoil if someone missed it haha. but I guess they wouldnt be in this channel
Good call I hope they do. Shock and Titans are 1-1 in stage finals, best storyline
but im casual so I dont really know ALL the details
striker?
what about striker?
his death blossem came in a bit late after the doom/sigma combo and he died while ulting
he could have saved it
context would be nice
sinatra and choi did a combo ult on the second part of the map. striker used death blossem to try and kill stragglers i guess? but sinatra got a 3 K and godsb killed striker while he ulted so it was a waist
which map
the city, the second part of the map
kings row?
busan
i mean is that specific play really that important in the long run?
Anubis the best one to watch if you're in a hurry
Closest spark got to taking a map, along with dorado
so i suppose you’re on shock’s side for tomorrow’s game
50/50 for every playoff game
ok
Vancouver for the win, not only cause I live in Calgary but I think SHock has been using their aggresivness to their advantage, but Vancouver will overpower them
Thats like saying shock isnt by far the most aggressive team in the league
It feels like Sinatraa and Super are incredibly agrresive, like bumbper. However, I think the titans do a better follow up, especially when they play slime + twilight
unless NYXL steps it up
Shock is going to win
and in finals I think Shock comes up on top if they keep this type of performance
Disney XD
Did they say there was gonna be a halftime announcement omorrow?
So who won?
Jewvia? Outside of lore? Hmm
@fiery basalt Shock 4-0'd spark
Wow. What was the last match that wasn't a 4-0?
Nyxl vs titans
Titans going 4-3
The previous game before that was atlanta vs shock also going 4-3
And then the one before that was spark vs dynasty going 4-1
Every other playoff game has been 4-0
Shock 4-0'd spitfire, 4-0'd glads, and 4-0'd spark
Titans vs Glads was 4-2
Titans vs Dynasty was 4-,2
4-2*
NYXL vs London was 4-1
etc etc
the only 4-0 games are all of shocks games in the losers bracket (3) and Atlanta vs Hangzhou
so very few games have been 4-0
3 4-0's in a row in the finals is still a lot in my opinion
It is for 1 team
This is very similar to the London spitfire run in season 1
Lose 1 series then win the rest
Yeah it really does sound like spitfire in season 1. Except for the part where they barely got into the playoffs
Just shows how dominant shock is
Their match against atlanta was lost off their own misplay
I need healing. 199/200...
I hope shock wins the season. They clearly deserve it
that would be pepega ngl
pls
inb4 another day of 0-4watch
sexxlerr for the grand final like last year
no matter who wins this game, the finals will be a fantastic game
l dont think it will be close
l think shock will win 4-2, failed reverse sweep
l dont like shock but they're very consistent in performance and their strategies are well thought out
I just want the shock to win this because they have a chance to beat titans and xl dont
nyxl took titans to the final map
Yeah, but titans are going to be better prepared now, and I think that they are more adaptable. They know exactly what to do to win against xl, and xl will just use their normal playstyle
Let's GOOOO
Both teams are playing my favorite players. This is gonna be great

WHOAAA
Now thats the gameplay I like!
Choi is straight up not having a good time
nice boop
lmao shock
daaaam son
SHOCK DAMNN

INSANE
this...isnt 2cp
i know

Heheh
amazing stall
I wish theyd show more of the lucios
IK but I prefer to watch on the website
mlg?
weird
why lol
ez shock wins control but gets destroyed in payload escort

because I'm weird
come on shock
IDK it just runs better and looks friendlier
it does

its not run on twitch bad streaming services
bruh, that was such good stall
Y E S
🔒 SPAM 🔒 THIS 🔒 LOCK 🔒 TO 🔒 HELP 🔒 THE 🔒 SHOCK 
This is already one of my favorite matches of the season
so is strikers strat to tp behind them like a plat
good to know
mediocre strats works always
y'know, something else I just noticed is that the audio is a lot better on the website
NICE

Where is the secret weapon pine?
lmao
for the all access pass, im viewing choi
and theres a focus assist notification in the corner'
sinatraa lmao
Anamo has been really good this match
"While you were gaming...
WTF
CLUTCH

Nyxl 
sinatraAAAAA
NYXL is getting wrecked
libero is poggers
Come on nyxl
Winnablleeee
GORGEOUS
OOF
Great match indeed semmler and hex are actualy pretty hype
GO NYXL
sinatraa missed key hits 
what are y'alls map 3 predictions?
I think XL is going to win
semm/hex are by far the best casters
they were serious
i hope shock but nyxl is staying pretty calm so i think they could
where is pine and flower
Pine lol
both ded
Is he even a thing anymore
the last time flower played he only played as brig right?
Flower played a nasty pharah
yeah flower was in brig jail and pine has just been benched
he's all stars game player
rip Pine
lol that was a sick attack strategy
force shock to attack bastion that cant die or contest point
bastion ez
VIVA REAPER 
Im surprised that both xl is keeping the bastion and shock isnt switching to counter
can someone answer this for me
worst barrage
they said this is loser brackets finals yes
ever seen
ye
so the person who wins has another match or ??
yes
like am i missing a winners bracket lOL
at the finals
i see
fucking hell
YES
PUUUUUUUUUUSH IT BABYYYYYYY
shock held that spot so well
nyxl really need to up their game just to complete the push
LOL libero holding the ult
YOU'RE SO CLOSE
YES
no time
was SBB flashed ?
Libero fucked up
4-0 all the way
Trying to punch hammond away
JESUS!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
When he could have used that for
fan the hammer
Pusing away reaper

shock ❤
It was hardly dependent on a single mistake
^
Old mvp vs new mvp
Sinatraa on cree LMAO
probably wouldve gotten obliterated if he tried
iirc reaper had wraith
BRING SECRET WEAPON PINE!!! 
is pine even on the xl any more?
no
Pine Reaper? Why not
Pine never played a match
NOT SINGLE ONE
this season
nice mcree pick for stun
welp that makes 75 picks for me, thats probably my last milestone
how many tokens do you got?
i got 1 skin only and it was worth it
I think xl will win this map
you guys got choi or meko for most ults?
got it switched, but now I'm doubtful because choi built faster
"""""""happy dance""""""""
lmao
GO NYXL
woot woot
that big ass gasp rein does when he says "incoming"
lmao
N O
Y A Y
6cp is back baby
Ok NY that was good
YES
IT WAS GORGEOUS
what would happen if the power went out at the league?
NICE HOLD
went for risky play and got cought out of position
sbb wtf
6 cp?
jesus
nah ah
6 capture?
3 rounds of 2cp
new york has time
2cp was a mistake guys
Just call it a draw, I hate this map
wut
Sbb is like me, doesn't think enough lmao
still better than paris
this is the only 2cp map i actually like
HUH
I love anubis
i think it was changed recently
lol voil2t did a subt;e teabag on libero
WOOOOO
👏
3x 2CP
8cp?
drawable???
if nyxl goes down
👀 nyxl will loose
I WILL REPORT NYXL
i swer if this is another 0-4
cause Old MVP vs New MVP
nothing new
this meta sucks
lol
moth is just ruining sbb rn
what is this utter chaos
if it was uprising i would believe in reverse sweep. but this is nyxl
remember, XL has reversed sweept like crazy
but this is not looking good
for XL
that's for sure
shock arent on steroids, theyre on straight crack
SBB with the Anime hero speech
Sinatraa is also swapping now
@vagrant niche well, NYXL is also choke masters
With the Power of Friendship
didn't you saw
Yeah NYXL has the choking curse
he was folding the cable of his keyboard
mhm
architech is coming
mano keeps getting chunked so fast
or rascal
SF has much better counter strategies
yeah theyre putting in archie now and i wouldnt be surprised if they sent super in for striker as well
or rascal
IF THEY DONT PUT PINE
can they please yeet out sbb
they use architect and rascal for escort
I'll never forgive them
wtf why would they put in pine?
i can imagine what XL is thinking right now
They wont put pine in on match point of all times
"We shouldn't have lost that match vs Titans"
shut up, you dont undersstand our pain
how much are all of you willing to bet SF will win this year?
you dont understand our PINE
may I ask

why does titans go straight to the finals but shock doesn't?
cuz they won winnerbracket
0.o
XL just take a map
such a casual "presentedbyxfinity"
I will donate a map to them
please nerf sf
you did not see wrong
wh-
captain SBB is still there
sbb is their shotcaller, so hes harder to sub out
ghhhHHH
but libero going out is super weird
and im pretty sure libero is a better pharah
he's Flower pops off once as Pharah and they're like "omg we need a pharah FLOWER POWER ACTIVATE"
wait shit i picked sinatraa most most kills
they gave up
. . .
GG
shock <3
Wow...
jjonak hates this meta
good grief
if this was dive...
So shock vancouver grand finals
crying
nyxl needs to get get up and walk backstage
Who wouldve known
PINE
The one time where ill say
fuck sake, if you gonna lose, put pine for some fanservice
3 ults and no contest................................................................................................................................
Pine cant save new york rite now
not about that
not about saving nyxl
He never got playtime
it's about the fans
^^^
and letting pine fucking play
SBB is a MASTERMIND
Fl0w3r
Mano is STALWART
Meko is SKILLFUL
JJoNak is MVP
Anamo is CHILL
Pine wouldnt have saved nyxl
Flower why wtf
Imagine a reverse sweep now
lmao
This isn't about saving nyxl
no chance
its a meme on twitter, you leave someone blank
thats how u spell his name
ah
ik I was talking about how there was only the name
they lost libero, and they gave shock 3 minutes
I think it's close to over
im legit stress eating
c h o k e k i n g s
Chat is spamming fire NYXL coaches
choi lmao
Quick question, when did dive die in season 1?
Stage 4
it didnt
Thats what i thought
dive is still used for certain maps
Lol good one
I mean fell out of favor
Tracer died together with briggite
I don't know if it is a coaching problem, this combination of players on NYXL has had choking issues even before OWL
time to buy new players
I don't think it's choking it's more that shock is a fucking amazing team
LETS GO SPARKLE
They didn’t even choke this season
Making 3rd place overall is successful
I'll be shocked if they take the map 😉
I was just saying out of 20 teams
I dont really understand why they picked a mercy over an ana
It's not that nyxl is bad it's just that Vancouver en shock are savages
Semmeler and hex have actualy been pretty good this match
I think the real reason shock are dominant is purely psychological. They're very confident and relaxed
flower mei wall blocked rascal ult
gg
g g
i wanted nyxl to at least win 1
GG
l dont see nyxl doing it
Shock is just so good
im a fan of both these teams 😢
shock is gonna end up 16-0 in lower brackets
I didnt really care who won as long as they beat titans
gg
4-0verwatch
the prophecy has fortold
what a let down
Hol UP
YESSS
The finales better be good
👏
Did they just 4-0 NYXL?
yes
ATL really pissed shock off
SHOCK THE WORLD
Please Titans, crush Shock.
NYXL blew it again
Man grand finals gonna be so good
yesterday was more electric. Shock hit the Spark hard
titans need to get thier shit sharp now
Atlanta died for this btw
Why are all the shotcallers hot? Sinatraa, SBB, Jake, and Corey are all hot.
I hope titans play good against shock because titans and nyxl had a close map
when is the finals?
two weeks
Match
29th
Of september
so no OWL til then?
SF shock 4-0'd every team after they lost to ATL first round of play-offs
ATL died for this
wdym atl died
ATL and Shock style is very similar
what happened with them? xD
109-24 my god
Hence the reason why they were 3-3
"two best teams" "#3 vs #1"
its cause of the divisions
i know
well actually shock had a better map differential
but its funny
nyxl getting 4:0d
The finals I've been dreaming of
nope
yes
justice were dogshit the entire season until stage 4
vancouver and shock have been dominant the entire season
they have earned their spots here
Bitter way to send the blizzard arena off
Justice wasn't made with the thought of goats but for dps
which clearly was a mistake if they wanted to perform well this season
they also failed to make proper moves to stop being garbage
but it took too long
that anubis map was pretty crushing
yeah after 3 stages
how do you lose that
the coaches were still so bad at coaching their team tho
not bad, justice will rekt teams season 3
not prepping for current meta is always a mistake imo
yeah
Justice had no excuse looking that bad in 3 stages
honestly they shouldve picked up players after stage 1
cuz with that logic you prep for no meta "cuz it will go away"
that dps line by the coaches is an excuse
ah well, shock and titan are just on another level
wait wut
was it?
OMG
until owl of course
OWL is an anime comfirmed
that doesnt sound like him wtf
"thank you for role queue" 
JEFF JEFF JEFF JEFF
👀 lets hope shock vs vancouver doesnt end in a 4:0 to
yeah and therefore they should have gotten some more players that can actually play brig and zarya..
JEFF
I'm gonna miss this arena :(
what D:
Wow jeff's voice totally changes when he yells
Yeah I am gonna miss the arena :C
Hard to make predictions tbh
they each need to throw 3 maps and then just play map 7 as goats to truly make it an anime
watching titan and shock play 3-3 against each other is pepega as fuck
I think shock got the edge this time
