I’ve had those sleep masks before

[outer zenith]

He poked holes in it

[hallow zealot]

Tell me

[tropic herald]

Idk

[brisk canyon]

:/

[hallow zealot]

carpe cant play mcree or widow oof

[outer zenith]

Actually, with no McCree or Widow, we might see Carpe break out the Tracer or Doom. Or... ChipSa.

[tropic herald]

ChipSa

[hallow zealot]

chipsa pog

[tropic herald]

Inc

[earnest leaf]

Unironically we could see dive hackfist comps ran

aka chipsa might actually be used

[dry mesa]

[brisk canyon]

Hackfist disgustinf

[dry mesa]

MY LEGS ARE READY

[earnest leaf]

but that's if ivy and eqo's doom is worse

haksal on genji time

[brisk canyon]

[outer zenith]

Justice also play next week.

[balmy wolf]

You could attempt to run double shield but like

Doomfist

[outer zenith]

Means Corey will likely be on Hanzo.

[hallow zealot]

chipsa will be good

[balmy wolf]

Carpe might actually get benched

[brisk canyon]

COREYYY

[outer zenith]

No Cree or Widow to run to.

[brisk canyon]

@outer zenith that’s a good thing

... right?

[supple prism]

carpe can also doom

[brisk canyon]

Wait sf doesn’t play week 5

[outer zenith]

Maybe. Depends on the other teams. If other teams are running a good Dive comp, Hanzo is more of a liability.

[hallow zealot]

are there any other hitscans

[outer zenith]

Soldier.

[brisk canyon]

Bastion mercy pharah mei monkey soldier best comp

[tropic herald]

Ashe Soldoer

Soldier

[brisk canyon]

Ashe is banned... Perm-banned.

[brisk canyon]

NICE

@outer zenith nerf Houston plz

[outer zenith]

Banned because she'll never be picked.

[tropic herald]

Carpe bad, something overrated Chipsa activated

[hallow zealot]

nerf the shock

[brisk canyon]

I’m worried they’ll reverse sweep the whole season

@hallow zealot no

[gloomy vector]

HOU has a chance next week but they have to play better than they did this week to win against paris

[hallow zealot]

they wont

[brisk canyon]

I live in San Francisco

Shock shock shock

Shock shock

[outer zenith]

Kidding. Ashe might get picked, but again, she's SOOOOO susceptable to Dive.

[raw ermine]

CARPE OUTDATED
IVY OVERRATED
LONG WE HAVE WAITED
CHIPSA ACTIVATED

[gloomy vector]

chipsa OmegaLUL

[brisk canyon]

@raw ermine shock wins the game

[hallow zealot]

im from van

[tropic herald]

CARPE OUTDATED
IVY OVERRATED
LONG WE HAVE WAITED
CHIPSA ACTIVATED

[hallow zealot]

i do not like shock

they are good

[frozen perch]

With McCree and Widow banned, there should be no reason for Chipsa to not to play DF

[plucky rune]

shock was a joke season one, but they completely turned heel during season 2

[brisk canyon]

Wait why has no one mentioned hamster dive comp

Can’t u dive with hamster

[hallow zealot]

what

[brisk canyon]

🐹

The hamster

Ball

.3.

THE ONE WITH THE GRAPPLING HOOK

[plucky rune]

ball works best with snipers

[brisk canyon]

@plucky rune and dive

Also

Ain’t it

[gloomy vector]

ball isnt bad with dive but i think monkey is better

[plucky rune]

ball's dive is multi-sniper dive

[brisk canyon]

He has cute gun

;3

[hallow zealot]

but hamster isnt main tank

[plucky rune]

where he's the only one that dives

[brisk canyon]

0:

[supple prism]

ball is main

[brisk canyon]

Monkey needs a nerf

[hallow zealot]

monkey is main tank

[brisk canyon]

Monkey needs a nerf

[hallow zealot]

wait ball is main

[gloomy vector]

monkey needs nerf omegaLUL

[plucky rune]

ball isn't as good with heroes like doomfist because piledriver fucks with combos

[hallow zealot]

?

[brisk canyon]

:((

[supple prism]

ball makes space

mains make space

[brisk canyon]

We should ban Houston

[plucky rune]

every hero makes space

[gloomy vector]

no

[hallow zealot]

what

[brisk canyon]

[hallow zealot]

mercy dosent

[gloomy vector]

dont ban HOU

[brisk canyon]

I want carry mercy

[supple prism]

effective space

[plucky rune]

mercy can make space

[brisk canyon]

Mercy main

And ▂▄▅█████████▅▄▃▂ I███████████████████]. ◥⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙◤...

[brisk canyon]

Tank top

[tropic herald]

Thanks

[hallow zealot]

battle mercy lul

[brisk canyon]

JDCICIE

[plucky rune]

making space doesn't make you a tank

[brisk canyon]

tank

[hallow zealot]

yes it does

[brisk canyon]

Mhmm

[supple prism]

then what makes you a main tank

[plucky rune]

then widowmaker is a tank

[brisk canyon]

Mei does

Lol

I mean

[hallow zealot]

not like that

[gloomy vector]

Battle mercy and ana are my favorite to watch

[brisk canyon]

Widow can low key

[hallow zealot]

also tanking damage

[brisk canyon]

Be ▂▄▅█████████▅▄▃▂ I███████████████████]. ◥⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙◤...

Tank

Gosh dang autocorrect

[hallow zealot]

tanking dmg and making space make u tank

[brisk canyon]

Soldier tank

@hallow zealot

[plucky rune]

it's complicated

[supple prism]

so then mei is a tank

[brisk canyon]

But she is

[plucky rune]

the tank is just the most powerful thing on the field

[brisk canyon]

Mei has good shield

Best shield wall :/\

[hallow zealot]

screw it torb is tank

[plucky rune]

they move people forcefully

[gloomy vector]

mei could be off thank KEKW

[brisk canyon]

XD

[gloomy vector]

tank

[brisk canyon]

like me :)) @plucky rune

[hallow zealot]

torb is better than rein

[brisk canyon]

Hey then bastion is tank

He looks tanky enough

[hallow zealot]

torb is best hero

[brisk canyon]

Bastion best carry and tank

Tank just mean u look biggest

On the battlefield

[plucky rune]

it's more like the act of making space can't be contested as easily when it comes to main tanks

[brisk canyon]

Or most well fortified

[hallow zealot]

but bastion mains arent good people

[brisk canyon]

@hallow zealot I am :((

[plucky rune]

when McCree tries to make space, all you have to do is shoot back and you're contesting it

[gloomy vector]

so whens the wild variation of goats coming in

[hallow zealot]

can bastion walk into the enemy team?

no

[brisk canyon]

@hallow zealot yes

Ultimate

[plucky rune]

yes, any hero can

[brisk canyon]

:3

Lol

[plucky rune]

it's just not a good idea

[brisk canyon]

Bastion camp outside spaceship spawn

[hallow zealot]

u get the idea

[brisk canyon]

XDDDDD

Double shield bastion

Spawn kill

= auto won’t

Win

[plucky rune]

any hero can be played like a dive hero, but that doesn't mean running divehardt is a good idea

[brisk canyon]

Reinhardt is a meme

Lol

[hallow zealot]

orisa dive meta

[brisk canyon]

No eww

[hallow zealot]

make it happen

[brisk canyon]

I mean

[gloomy vector]

orisa dive is what im expecting to see next week

[brisk canyon]

Orisa gun looks like the hamster gun

And dva gun

[hallow zealot]

torb dive

[brisk canyon]

No

[hallow zealot]

even better

[brisk canyon]

Oh wait

Torb is tf2 engineer

Right?

[hallow zealot]

torb dive will mhappen

yes

[brisk canyon]

TORB AND BASTIOB

DOUBLE TURRET

TORB BASTION BUNKER COMP

dive counter

With Mei

Now that’s

NOW THATS

a good comp

Mwah

[gloomy vector]

they should give bastion his shield back for next week only

[brisk canyon]

Or forever

[hallow zealot]

give bastion graviton surge

[brisk canyon]

Lmao and fuel

Rocket

I mean for frick sake

He drinks fuel

Why can’t he fly

Already

And pharah ult

Or dva ult

[gloomy vector]

also a little flag that somehow heals the whole team

[brisk canyon]

Haha I like the idea

Give him revive abilities

To also himself

And increase mobility

I think bastion mobility needs buff

[gloomy vector]

also his ult should be a combo of all the ults

[brisk canyon]

I agree

[hallow zealot]

LET BASTION WALL RIDE

[brisk canyon]

Bastion build other turrets

Every time he drink fuel

[hallow zealot]

bastion should have shatter'

and primal rage

[brisk canyon]

And slam

Yeah

[hallow zealot]

and self destruct

and molten core

[brisk canyon]

Yes

[hallow zealot]

and grav

[brisk canyon]

And high noon

@hallow zealot I mean I’m asking you

How can

[hallow zealot]

also trancendence

[brisk canyon]

Mccree pistol

Be more deadly

Than bastion

Single bullet

A mini gun should have better bullets

[hallow zealot]

sound barrier too

[brisk canyon]

Yes

@hallow zealot lol imagine bottom screen

With all the ultimates

U need to scroll to the right

[hallow zealot]

the whole screen is just ults

[brisk canyon]

XD

[hallow zealot]

ima head out now

[brisk canyon]

Eksdee

I’m laughing so hard

Bastion transcendence

He starts floating

XDDDDDDD

And folding his legs

Gn everyone be safe except for Houston

[midnight sage]

Finally got to watch the Outlaws match

Goddamn they looked good!

Where has this team been?

[balmy wolf]

Sucking and not knowing what dps or support line to run until after the fact

[midnight sage]

Glad they finally got it together

[brisk canyon]

@midnight sage why r u happy

For Houston

They don’t deserve any support

They’re made to be the worse team

[midnight sage]

Okay, bud

[brisk canyon]

There’s always necessary to have a bad team

@midnight sage :((

[midnight sage]

Did you know you can type all your words in one reply?

Instead of

Typing

Like

This

[brisk canyon]

:((

Why u bulli me

[midnight sage]

[brisk canyon]

@midnight sage u know Houston won’t win the season anyways right

So why waste your time and energy supporting them

[midnight sage]

How about you not worry about it

[brisk canyon]

You should go for shock or titans, it’s only logical

[midnight sage]

Why waste your time telling me who to support

[brisk canyon]

:(( I’m tryna hell u

Help

[midnight sage]

Keep your stupid "help" to yourself

[brisk canyon]

It’s not stupid it’s logical

[midnight sage]

I can support whoever I want

Fucking idiot troll

[brisk canyon]

Yeah I know but Im just wondering what’s the point

For it

[midnight sage]

Because I want to

[brisk canyon]

And then you’ll be sad when they lose

[midnight sage]

At least I'm not a massive tool like you

"Don't support that team because they won't win"

[brisk canyon]

How am I a tool

[midnight sage]

That would mean everyone supports the same team

[brisk canyon]

I mean... that’s not a bad thing

Nor that

[midnight sage]

So no teams should play except the one team that's gonna win

[brisk canyon]

Only San Francisco should win

[midnight sage]

Because they are going to win

[brisk canyon]

Yes

And also

That sentence should be flipped

Because they are going to win, no teams should play except the one team that’s gonna win

[midnight sage]

You are super special

[brisk canyon]

I know, I play logically

[supple prism]

think about it

its a waste to play if you arent going to win anyway

[midnight sage]

Right

[brisk canyon]

@supple prism yes

[midnight sage]

So only one team should be in the entire OWL

[supple prism]

yes

[brisk canyon]

I mean

[midnight sage]

Then we don't even have to watch!

[brisk canyon]

Only one team has won

[midnight sage]

We just know!

[supple prism]

efficiency

[brisk canyon]

Each season

Yes

@supple prism

[midnight sage]

You are a literal idiot

[brisk canyon]

@midnight sage no need to be mad

[midnight sage]

Like THE definition

[brisk canyon]

Just because your team is bad

Calm down I’m just debating

[midnight sage]

No you aren't

[supple prism]

probably a houston fan

[midnight sage]

You are telling me not to support a team because they are going to lose

[brisk canyon]

You’re using insults to defend yourself

[midnight sage]

That's not a debate

[brisk canyon]

@supple prism that’s how it started

[midnight sage]

That's just being a massive troll

[brisk canyon]

I said why support Houston

And he started rambling

And getting mad

[supple prism]

anyone remember comedy?

[brisk canyon]

How was I a “troll?”

@supple prism ikr

[supple prism]

you should support Houston

they need all the help they can get

[brisk canyon]

I concur

[rocky jay]

cree & widow banned, hmm

and a huge mei pickrate. will we see some pharmercy?

[clear crane]

Chipsa!!!!!!!!!!! We getting Hackfist dive

Carpe is sad

This week, we have Reinhardt, McCree, Widowmaker and Moira joining us for a much needed relaxation at the beaches of Oasis.

You'll be seeing them again in Florida.

[brisk canyon]

Someone comfort me

I’m still sad

[sullen berry]

Yes, someone actually made a hero "pool" a thing

[frozen perch]

i predict the must pick dps of next week will be hanzo and mei
d.va and winston for tanks
lucio and ana for supports

[buoyant plaza]

https://www.twitch.tv/kevindurantow/clip/CogentTalentedHamsterSquadGoals?filter=clips&range=all&sort=time

[balmy wolf]

The bans are only for two weeks

During that point I expect Dive to be played with Sombra, Doom, Genji, Tracer, DVA, Winston, Brigitte, Ana, and Lucio being the choices after that

[hidden vault]

There's someone to comfort rawkus

:p

[jagged crater]

lol widow got banned, the hero that we actually want on OWL

but with rein being banned means mei might get limited playtime

[karmic grotto]

Five is back baby

Dive

Also, highlight match is Paris vs fusion

[jagged crater]

pharah might get played more actually

[karmic grotto]

I don't know who to root for

[jagged crater]

since mccree and widow are her most dangerous hitscan

[karmic grotto]

ChipSa finally getting playtime

Hates Widows to his core

[jagged crater]

blase be like hell yea

[karmic grotto]

[jagged crater]

moira ban is the funniest

cuz nobody cares

[karmic grotto]

It's to prevent players from Running Moira when there's dive comp

I think

[jagged crater]

legs and ashe can get played 😮

[balmy wolf]

can doesn't mean will

you don't run a soldier to counter a doom

you could run an ashe to counter dive but double shield dive doesn't work and ashe requires a mercy pocket which you won't have cause you need the lucio for a sound barrier to save lives and an ana to heal everyone up

and lucio's just better for peeling

[hidden vault]

Legs?

Legs is soldier? Lol

[calm holly]

@balmy wolf One week, not two

And the bans were completely random this time by the way @karmic grotto

https://youtu.be/Eq6H2qFIIGg

[balmy wolf]

Wait widow banned

Moira banned? Hmmm

Wait how does it work?

So it's a raffle instead of how devs said it was actually gonna work

[calm holly]

That was for this week only

Going forward it'll be done internally

[balmy wolf]

Ohhh

Ok that clears it up

[hollow dirge]

reinhardt banned, now thats gonna be interesting

[limber pine]

that's how devs said it would work

randomly, that is

[sterile fox]

are there games today

my app still broken

[calm holly]

Saturday-Sunday

[sterile fox]

k thanks

[tropic herald]

The fact that it was RNG

Kinda annoyed me

The only hero I wanted banned was ducking Mei

[limber pine]

pros seems to think that a Rein ban is as good

cuz orisa can just fortify out

[tropic herald]

I think despite Mei still in

We will see dive

With doom Sombra

Probably just Orisa replacing Dva on the brawler maps

*Rein

[hidden vault]

orisa is not very brawlly tho

[balmy wolf]

Well rein's greatest asset is space making

So would hammond replace him

🤔

[earnest violet]

which team do you guys think with stop the fusion's winstreak?

[bright cypress]

Paris might, carpe will find it harder to pop without widow or mccree

[earnest violet]

Fusion is looking red hot right now, but i feel like the only impressive win they had was vs NYXL

[balmy wolf]

justice AGAIN? 😒

[earnest violet]

they beat Washington Florida Toranto (all 1-3), Boston (1-2) and NYXL (4-1), so i feel like they only had one win that was an actual fight

and Boston Florida and Washington's 1 win was all against the outlaws

[balmy wolf]

@earnest violet they beat FLR 3-0 and Toronto 3-2

[earnest violet]

im talking about their match records (for 2020 season)

[balmy wolf]

oh u meant teams win rec

yeh nvm

[calm holly]

Carpe's hanzo is good

[balmy wolf]

ehh

[earnest violet]

wait

[calm holly]

Dps might rotate back to mei/hanzo

[balmy wolf]

itll be chipsa week i hope

some doom

[earnest violet]

we might get hackfist and chipsa in...?

[balmy wolf]

yes

[earnest violet]

idk how strong mei will be

bc of orisa fortify

Carpe wont have widow or cree for the paris game, but neither will Xzi

so like

idk

also, idk if this is a hot take or not, but i feel like danteh deserved player of the match way more than blase did.

[midnight sage]

At least Houston will still have their hackfist :)

[limber pine]

the role couldn't have been better for Houston

Because I'm having the opposite conversation that they should be doing this more

[jagged crater]

where

[sullen berry]

Not here, another server
If you're like me and don't go to watchpoint for any stats, why not go all out

[jagged crater]

main advantage it it's easy to understand

[sullen berry]

Make it a suspense loaded segment since you're already excited to see more reinforce time

[jagged crater]

they should do it live i agree

[sullen berry]

The problem is catering to the pro scene - if its important, then shown it and be done with it

[jagged crater]

they say they'll stop doing the drawing and just do it randomly with a computer or somethign?

[sullen berry]

Where if you're at least trying to cater to a new audience, make it notable, memorable or at least engaging

@jagged crater blizzard internally, so it will probably be twitter stuff

[jagged crater]

the method i suggested is a weighted drawing, you can still do a live drawing

it just means less cards for heroes with lower pickrate

of cards will be teh weight

Still easy to understand

perhaps more suspenseful because there are some heroes with much lower odds

Like winning the lottery

[sullen berry]

I figured it was supposed to be weighted

[limber pine]

tbf to blizz, they've said "random" the whole time

I would have though it would have been weighted a bit, but apparently not

[balmy wolf]

it is kind of weighted a bit, due to it being 10%+ pickrate

[limber pine]

that's not the definition of weighted

that's just excluding conditions

in hindsight, it being weighted doesn't really do anything cuz there's always gonna be a meta and heroes with over 70-80% playtime

if there wasn't, then there wouldn't be a need for hero bans

[jagged crater]

having a meta is fine, we just dont want it to get stale

2 weeks of rotating meta seems like a reasonable frequency of fresh experiences

The downside is, could it be too frequent and exhausting? Might we want a meta to settle longer eventually?

[balmy wolf]

Is hero pools for comp out yet

[limber pine]

March 5th

[hot heart]

Wtf

Paris beat ATL

[limber pine]

Zxi > Babybay and Hanbin > Hawk

Hawk did not look good in his first match

[balmy wolf]

hawk was okay

Xzi popped off ngl

Pretty good rookie

xzi was just too good

[hot heart]

Xzi is better than babybay

Hanbin is just better than hawk by a mile

And FdGod Did really well

[midnight sage]

Outlaws up to 13th. To the top!

[feral wing]

[hot heart]

Its fun to see them play so im not complaining

[balmy wolf]

Whats your favorite maps? Top 3..

Kings Row Hanamura Busan are my picks

Noted, thank you

[supple prism]

hanamura is the worst

[balmy wolf]

Hanamura is the worst?

What about junkertown?

I mean 2cp maps are dookie and hanamura is like the best one

Same with control maps imo

I think everyone likes kings Row tho

[tight kestrel]

The best map is Paris, right?😏

[balmy wolf]

Best in terms of what

Playing

or looks

Cause like 2CP maps are almost universally despised,

[supple prism]

i just hate hanamura point b

Does anyone know

How elimination works

In 2020 season

And what the heck are play-in and play-offs

[limber pine]

They are the same as last season

6 get in automatically

Places 7-12 play a tournament for top 2

Everybody else stays home

[tawny sigil]

so this is legit?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq6H2qFIIGg

[worn falcon]

yes

[raw ermine]

chipsa doom finally

[tawny sigil]

this is this week end?

[raw ermine]

yea

[balmy wolf]

Man Jecse's self depricating tweets got me feeling some way

Homie doesn't realize he's like the best on the roster

[tawny sigil]

the way he was playing in the early week had me feel like

he was on the "my team ain't doing shit i need to do something" mind set

[brisk canyon]

@limber pine sorry for ping but why the heck does it matter to win a stage final

(Not grand finals or finals)

Does that count as elimination later on

[tawny sigil]

there was money involved for stage final aswell

[limber pine]

Correct

[brisk canyon]

Oh

But I’m so dang confused

2019 season

They had “stages@

And

Each stage has 8 different teams

So which one stay home???

[tawny sigil]

stages final were only for money

[brisk canyon]

So it don’t matter?

[tawny sigil]

so besically each stage was like a mini season

[brisk canyon]

Ohhhhhh

So only the “normal weeks@

Count for

Elimination

?

[tawny sigil]

yeah

[brisk canyon]

Oh ok

Thank u sir

:3

Uwu

[tawny sigil]

if you wanna watch season 2, dont bother, just watch stage 3 of season 2 and you watched the entire season... the other stages are irrelevant

some of the best overwatch esport was all in stage 3

[brisk canyon]

Oh ok thnx

[raw ermine]

stage 1 and 3 finals were the best

IMO

[tawny sigil]

the entirety of stage 3 is all the overwatch esport you need

@tawny sigil do u think Houston’s gonna come back this season

To at least playoffs

[celest spear]

Tensa is from the original GOATS team

im expecting low score from houston all the way to the final honestly

[celest spear]

Hcpeful was a console OW GM and content creator

Brooks was on Wave Check iirc

[tawny sigil]

content creator.... so an influencer

[brisk canyon]

@tawny sigil what did you think about Toronto’s match against Houston? Do u think Houston found a play style or Toronto just got worse. Since they’re banning rein and some of the other dps wouldn’t it benefit Houston for a dive comp week 5

I don’t really know how to analyze and predict future games but I hate Houston with a passion

Just hope they die

[tawny sigil]

if Blasé and linkzr play more i think they will win more

but i heard hydration was sick? so that's why he was performing very poorly

[brisk canyon]

Yeah I hate blaze

Blase

He’s annoying

Like a rat trying to eat OWL crumbs

When all they can play is a dive comp and blase on hackfist 😂😂

Mamu fee

Feed

Maybe they’ll beat Paris and then that’s it I hope

Go home Houston, you suck

[tawny sigil]

its not that serious bro

[brisk canyon]

I know

I just... really hate Houston

[tawny sigil]

you probably sad monty is gone then, he was shitting on houston all the time it was so funny

[jagged crater]

Boston only has 2 dps

What are they doing

Both better on hitscan too

And mccree widow banned.

[gaunt acorn]

what if i told you this was expected of them from the start

par for the course, if you will

[rare magnet]

they should do a thing where they weekly force them to play a certain hero that way soldier tracer genji would get played cos theyre forced

[umbral bone]

So this makes 3

[worn falcon]

[celest spear]

so I guess yes, as according to HuK, Swimmer was sick last week

[gaunt acorn]

@hidden vault @celest spear one may be leaving shortly

Uprising Academy failed to qualify for Contenders despite every resource available to them. They lost to a fully NA OD team and the leadership should feel absolutely embarrassed.

Sadly, there should not be any qualifying or not for contenders. It should be a contractual obligation that OWL teams field a contenders team as part of their responsibilities to develop the sport.

If swimmer is sick it does make sense

Swimmer and Halo are main supports

[karmic grotto]

Blizzard and not supporting T3, ironic.

• Pretty much gives you 100% chance of hitting the target

[limber pine]

why is this in esports discussion

[balmy wolf]

@limber pine y not

[calm holly]

Wrong channel

[cedar drum]

Anybody here watched the4heads?

Bren, GB, SS and Reinforce's podcast

I think GB accidentally leaked OW2 release

[limber pine]

I would think that you're getting jebaited

[raw ermine]

date?

[limber pine]

@cedar drum

also

if GB did say that, it would be all over the internet right now

so either GB is jebaiting us or bhu is

[cedar drum]

@limber pine Not a lot of people watch the podcast

It's got like 3K views, uploaded 15 hours ago

[limber pine]

the release date of OW2 is too big of news to go unnoticed

[cedar drum]

https://youtu.be/H1HhegWIrUQ?t=3791

Timestamped

Sideshow even goes 'Yeah, Yeah' when GB says it

It was completely accidental I think

I think he might've even realised he done goofed as soon as he said it

[limber pine]

OW2 is assumed to be at the end of year

[cedar drum]

Yeah

But this seemed

[limber pine]

that's been the industry opinion for a while

[cedar drum]

Way more solid than that

[limber pine]

This is literally nothing

[cedar drum]

That he knows it

[limber pine]

It's not

you're looking too hard at it

[cedar drum]

Oh well

[sullen berry]

Impartial to the podcasts who might have insider knowledge on an unofficial release date

In fact I haven't heard halo, Jacob wolf or whoever is reputable in this info in a while

Given the viewership and audience for stuff like plat chat, four heads, high noon, OW League network and the like...

All of them would love to have the attention if it conveniently meant more revenue for the podcasts that do it for business

[hidden vault]

I think he said it because it was the industry opinion

[limber pine]

For Blizz's sake, they should have at least a beta out this year

If Blizzard doesn't do anything

Valorant will take many players from OW

Blizzard is forced to take action

As you said, at least release a beta
