WHAT KIND OF CRUEL GOD IS PROTECTING MEI
LOL
Corey on Widow?
We just replacing lucio with brig
That's an all-star ban list.
theoretically mei can never be banned

thats pretty much it
here comes a week of bunker boys
@limber pine Time to update the Bot sir!
Next week for OWL POOL...
Winston, Lucio, Solider 76 and Sombra Banned!
who the hell decided to use a non weighted system
lulululululululul
FDGod more like
FDGone from the pool
Mei and McCree need a nerf, hurry up Bliz.
dont worry we'll see fdgod on his classy brig
Mei is about to get pretty hard
FunnyAstro skating towards the bench.
mei is bout to be nerfed
FunnyAstro can play a good brig
but yea RIP FDGod
oh god I'm gonna hate next week
so many duplicate teams
Gotta love the return of the rein ecks dee
rein may not come back this week
I miss legs and frog
we may have a lot of bunker
and monkey
Soldier banned for 3 weeks 🙂
Paris has eaten all the frogs 🐸
Convenient that Houston plays their last match for a month just before Winston gets banned.

There you go sprite
poor soldier
He just came back!
@green stump thank you, as someone watching in 144p on the go
becomes viable in the first time in years
seriously
gets banned over mei
Mei, forever never banned in OWL
RNGJesus favors Mei
who the hell thought not weighing the bans was a good idea?
!!owlpool
Mei is pulling the strings kekw
I dont know about you guys
Soldier should have not that much impact
The current Map Pool for OWL is:
Control: Ilios, Busan, Lijiang Tower, Oasis, Nepal
Assault: Hanamura, Horizon Lunar Colony, Temple of Anubis
Hybrid: Blizzard World, Eichenwalde, King's Row
Escort: Havana, Junkertown, Dorado
The current Hero Pool for OWL is:
Tank: Winston
Damage: Soldier: 76, Sombra
Support: Lucio
But i think this confirms mei is satan
Nice!
Not like soldier would have been played anyway
o7
Next week though....is gonna be....something
With Cree back, soldier was going back to chair anyway
Just a question, but does zepp parse server emojis? @young fractal
I hope next week is something exciting
but this ban set makes me scared of bunker mei
Oh sorry that was for sprite lol
It's not about whether or not Soldier would get played next week, it's the fact that he's banned while Mei still breathes.

Also, Toronto is double fucked next week.
No Sombra or Winston to play Dive.
I am NOT looking forward to next week
Hopefully it is ok
but weaking rein and winston opens up orisa
Next week is back to McCree/Mei
Whose ready to dive with Hammond?
And carpe unchained again
lol dive doesnt exist against mei/mcree
Did they show the pickrates that determined this week's bans?
I cant seem to find the video
Yes
^
Did someone save a screenshot of them
Youtube live is shit and doesnt publish streams
dva was the highest pickrate
Or maybe I just dont know how to use it
support was actually pretty even for the most part in pickrate
Week 5 of the 2020 Overwatch League season is live from Washington D.C. on March 7 and March 8 on YouTube Gaming. The two-day homestand features the Toronto Defiant, Florida Mayhem, Paris Eternal, Houston Outlaws, Boston Uprising, Philadelphia Fusion, New York Excelsior and At...
Pickrates and the pool draw starts around that timestamp
Thanks
well i guessed soldier correctly
:0
Back by popular demand
Hm. I wonder what the chances of part of weeks 14 and 20 being canceled are. Both weeks 22/23 are also in Guangzhou, and 24 in Shanghai.
25+26 in Chengdu.
wtf? clockwork vendetta acquires asking LOL
They said blizzard would choose who’s banned
For competitive. OWL they said was always gonna be a raffle.
- The heroes will be randomly selected from a group of eligible heroes based on play-rate data from the previous two weeks of Overwatch League matches—only heroes that are being played regularly can be pulled from the next hero pool.
- No hero will be unavailable two weeks in a row.
- Hero Pools will not be used for the midseason tournament, the play-in tournament, playoffs, or Grand Finals. All heroes will be available for those matches.
- Teams will be informed of each week’s Hero Pool approximately one week in advance of matches.
i like how all heroes are available for tournaments and playoffs
Actually china is safer as compared to the rest of the world now
At least the situation in china isnt spreading
"the china situation isn't spreading"? Hey, depends on the topic at hand!
:p
china is safer
tell that to Dr Li, oh wait, you can't, he was dead before his own governement believed him
i'm sure it'll all miraculously go away when it gets a little warmer 
China isn't really known for accurate reporting of their own debacles
Virus's however do have a trend of weakening or going away during the summer seasons.
whos banned for next week
or this week
For OWL
Winston, Lucio, Sombra, Soldier 76
For comp
No idea; it goes different from OWL
Ok I got some questions:
Why is the guangzhou matchday cancelled? Corona?
And in which interval do the teams play? Some play like every week, some like every 3 weeks. I don't get it... Can anyone help me out?
It's really hard to follow as a newcomer that is only used to soccer 🙈

r/Overwatch Rosterpocalypse Megathread: https://redd.it/ddap1g
that's the original schedule - here's Guangzhou's Chief Ops Eddy Meng back in January before the season started
since then it was going to be all games hosted in china were cancelled
Ah okay, that sounds reasonable :) thank you
Ok so there is no real schedule of "each team plays every 2 weeks"? It's more of a schedule you need to follow?
And they only play inside the divisions?
they play inside their divisions initially
then after week 7/8 we start getting homestands starting to cross over conferences
So they play 2 games inside the conference and 1 game cross conference?
But for what are the divisions?
I was going to say this is pretty obvious if you think about it, apparently not
take this cutout
Atlantic Conference
North Division
South Division
Pacific Conference
East Division
West Division
And soo we will be seeimg poko moustache?
Not to my knowledge no
r they even going to bring it back?
probably
.@AxxiomOW is taking a leave of absence from the team for a medical procedure. We wish him the best in his recovery.
Oof

Oof
Hey Everyone! My name is Brandyn Chambers ign NerdyRealEstate. My friend and I are creating an app that helps players reach collegiate and professional levels in esports through game and health achievements. The first game we are testing is Overwatch because it's our favorite game and gave us the idea. I am posting a survey in this discord (admin approved) to see what you all think. The survey is below. I would greatly appreciate if people here who love gaming could fill it out!
https://surveyheart.com/form/5e53370684459767ab17b1f8

ahahahahahahahah
After consulting with his Twitch chat, Sideshow told me that he thinks that he has found the root of the issue. He thinks that his issues are trolls that try to get under his skin to live rent-free in his head. I decided that we should practice self-control so that he can choo...
Woop woop! Let's go Florida Mayhem!
I agree, go Florida!
I'm from Florida too and their redesigns for the skins are SICK.
Overwatch League (@overwatchleague)
Justice was most definitely served ⚖️
Another incredible #OWL2020 weekend in the books, now we're off to the Sunshine State ☀️
See ya soon @FLMayhem 😎
same their skins are cool
They're doing really good!
Hard to tell since there hasn’t been Asia homestands
next week, on sat vs philly and then on sun vs reign
how do balance patches work in OWL? Very confused about it
lets say mei and dva nerf hits live next week. What then?
Since there's no stages anymore
There's no clear "break" for OWL schedule besides mid-season tournament
owl keeps roughly in-sync with live patches
they made that clear before the season began
so an untested live patch gives teams only 4 days to prep for the weekend?
well im assuming update is tuesday usually
but they said they aim to follow the live patch cycle
that gives teams 4 days before weekend
it may be a week longer, who's to say
they didn't make any specific promises
only that with the removal of stages, there was no longer an artificial 'barrier' to patches
and they'd follow suit much faster
hero bans already a weekly thing so that'll keep the coaches busy
I just want them to introduce horizontally flipped maps.
That'll keep the coaches/teams busy.
that'll screw with the players' mind so much
coaches got more things to worry about ;O
vertically flipped next
Then, after horizontally flipped maps: Palette shuffle/texture shuffle 😄
Patch 1.48 changes: Players may now bind their ultimate voice line to a hot key.
You know it would just be players running around as Sym spamming "Yahi param vaastavikata hai!"
I always thought it would be funny if characters had something like than, but before finishing, they would cut themselves off and laugh at you saying, something along the lines of "haha got you!"
Btw can sym's ult be interrupted?
There are a surprising number of ults which will cancel out if you can catch the exact frames they can be stunned: Sym, Rein, Hammond, Ana, moira, lucio, genji, hanzo... it goes on
Could be a matter of ping outside of OWL which are on LAN
The only ult I can say that probably can't be cancelled are: Trans and DVA bomb
infra sight can't be cancelled either
i don't think mines can be either
though just shoot/shield mines lol
no I got canceled
By stun?
Yes
Interesting
Nano can be "cancelled" in two ways
Yeah I got that
It can be cancelled during the small animation of Ana giving it
Or be cancelled before the nano reaches the target
It's more common to cancel it the second method
Yea but you can absolutely stun ana as it comes out but that's significantly more rare
It does but Ana typically won't die fast enough
it is possible tho
Doesn't when projectile leaves ana
It will reach the target doesn't matter if ana survives
That’s right, this is the moment between activating nano on a target
And before it registers on said target. It’s a timeframe so short if you stun the Ana you completely cancel the nano boost animation
Cause it's like literally next to instantaneous
and the nano boost is very fast and small
and also cause the timing for it is very hard to stop
Stopping a sombra EMP is easier than stopping Nano
Of course
@bright cypress I learned the other day that Sigma can eat Junkrats last laugh 😄
@thin topaz so not sure if you missed this, but here's the list of conference and division which should be easy to follow
Anyone who doesn't know this by now just have to think it through or are geography challenged by OW League standards
Tha makes a lot more sense to me. 😅
Sorry I am not so familiar with all citys in the US.... @sullen berry
nah don't be too intimidated by the number of cities in the US, I didn't know them at first either
remembering the split by conference A and conference P will make this a little less harder to have to remember
Slightly more legible from Left to Right
Blame the calendar
they're literally nonexistent
pacific west who aren't in china
have played a total of 4 matches between 5 teams
They should do the matches online or in an offline arena
I'm not sure if i should start to doubt the games being played sooner
it will definitely be an offline arena
chances are, they lose out on revenue and play these without broadcasting when they wanted to move the games to Korea
owl started in the 8th of february (if im correct), it's like 4 weeks later, and some teams havent played a single game
And Shock doesn't play until week 6/7/8
they need find some kind of middle ground so that they benefit financially and to reduce (not eliminate) 4-6 week marathon of make up games
There is. People who want to go the homestand should get themselves checked
If they don't have Corona
They can enter the building
Before entering, people should disinfect their hands
That is the thing why I asked in the first place
I started watching owl in the last playoffs and I really liked nyxl, shock and Vancouver. But except from nyxl I don't see any games right now
For the first few weeks at least
And because I am used to a weekly / biweekly schedule from most sports (or even starcraft back in the day), I was really confused on when they play or bot
Not*
I still am. The schedule is clear. But it doesn't make any real sense to me. It's less of an "I know they play next week and 2 weeks after" than a "I must check the schedule to see when they are playing"
Which is really counterintuitive
Wait hold up, the teams on the west of the Pacific are the East division?
Can we get an F to S76
Spent one week being played before hero pools said a hard no
And meanwhile the ice demon is still allowed
Okay
Also I'm scared of what overwatch will look like without speed
Lucio is vital to most metas
I expect most teams run standard but with brig or zen instead of lucio
I wonder if Winston our means Rein in or Ball simply replaces Winston
our?
Out
Without lucio? Rein might be iffy but brig might still work
What the heck is wrong with client?
Ball wont get play cause he is literally to easy to counter with Mei and or ball
you mean sombra
I meant brig
Ik
But they should make the tickets per % not even across the board
That would help
I’d rather them just move it to like above 20%
Make things way easier instead of banning soldier and sombra
And potentially weigh the ones like Mei heavier
Bc what
She had 80% playtime over 4 weeks
@limpid estuary maybe it's the formatting of my post, should say Atlantic is North/South and Pacific is East/West
Hence how we ended up with scores from Dallas Homestand's 4 games
And they keep showing titans and shock on the top for some reason
Oh yes they did
It starts with splitting Texas into two different divisions, but maybe it was a marketing approach
Yeah they were. But Pacific East being the west of the Pacific is amusing
Spaghetti westerns or whatever the West is defined
Wild WIld
Okay, it turns out I might know why I get Toronto and Vancouver confused now
If they are geographically West of the Pacific ocean
That makes so much sense
Can't wait till I become rank 1 lol
how far away are you
Not how far, but how close 
Well if you flip it around they are in the correct place
With the atlantic division inbetween
toronto- justice this weekend, justice is going to win 0-3 and i hate the fact that i know i'm right :(
Yo
@everyone Hi all! I am currently doing research on esports and would love some help in finishing my work! There are two surveys I would like to share, both relatively short, and completely anonymous
The first one asks about player health. Anyone who has participated in esports should fill it out, as I hope to use the information to help better support players in the future. It takes 5-10 minutes to fill out: https://neu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0kQHnhvZi97oNmJ
The second asks about your motivation for watching esports, and only takes 3 minutes to fill out: https://neu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8An16aNBnG9SNCd
I thank you all for your participation! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the surveys or my research in general! Thanks again!

Another damn survey
I would like to see more toxicity in gameplays to enhance game quality
T-bags, staggers, taunts should be used more often
Especially to de morale the enemy team,
Cause drama or anger would greatly improve game activity
Spawn kills and C9 to troll the enemy team should also be used
Thank u good bye
selfless?
so how long until OWL switches to online only format ?
I was going to London homestand :((
I’m so sad
did you get a refund?
they are doing a faq
they just announced it now so I’ll see
only 70 quid for two tickets
I mean the entire League is nuked. Should just start planning for next season.
Its quite unfortunate that blizz tries to do something different this year and then the corona virus came and was like nope
They should just do online
Can the world just stop being a panic animal pls.
Everybody is making this way bigger then it is
this is bs, sorry, this outrage is exaggerated af.
They act like it's some deadly virus that kills every infected regardless of age. Media making this waaaaaaaaay bigger than it is
Doesn’t change that the virus is an unknown as of now, that’s the biggest fear out there
With its long incubation making quarantine the safest way to slow it until it’s fully understood
The Corona virus is infectious and while most young people won't die, the people they come in contact to with compromised immune systems can.
Also cause China had SARS last time and didn't report it until it was too late and that's kinda what it was now too so people are a bit on edge.
Still, people are making this way to big
Albeit this is an overreaction on some people
just because young people don't die from it doesn't mean they can't be carriers and spread it to areas where it can be more deadly
Basically kids, the elderly, and people with autoimmune diseases can be infected and thus are at higher threat
The same can be said about any virus, where's the outrage in that?
And idk if you know this but there be a lot of kids and elderly and because it's new we don't have a treatment for it. It's also much more infectious than the flu.
I am not saying they cant be carriers. But then what, the virus originated from a fish, are we now going to quarantine all animals. I am getting a bit ridiculous here but you guys know what i mean.
Corona is more deadly
If u have a family member who dies from this virus, you wouldn’t be doing all this talking right now
with reported numbers that is
i mean, that happened with swine flu. the infected animals were quarantined to control the virus.
so yes, quarantining animals would indeed (and has) happened
But you gotta do what Ya gotta do
ye
I am done, yes the virus is something to be carefull with, yes (individual) people should take precautions, especially vulnerable people, no its not this big and dangerous as all the Media is making it, but its the best news they can find, so they will keep blowing it up until people start loosing interest.
canceled conventions and events say otherwise
See I get where you're coming from but at the end of the day the effect is still real. People are dying. The elderly and children and people with compromised immune systems are still at risk. Updating where the corona virus is spreading to helps even if they are total fear mongering about it.
it's the unknowns causing the panic. as we learn more about this specific virus, the panic will go away and the cures will increase. but while scientists and researchers are working on developing effective vaccines for this strain, the panic is somewhat warranted.
only somewhat though
You have global markets crashing, entire cities quarantined, schools closing, health experts who study disease for a living saying this is a major issue. Yea it’s a big deal.
It's a global pandemic now.
Just because WHO says it is, doesn't mean it is
Media makes market crash
wake up
Again, I don’t wish for this on anyone but unless u have a family member who dies from this, you’re going to remain ignorant
I had an aunt (still alive, recovered) stage 4 cancer, why exactly should I be scared for this?
I wish her the best of luck. I lost my dad to lung cancer 13 years ago. I didn’t say for u to be scared. I said that people need to be aware and recognize it’s a major global issue
I agree with that
To be clear, we WILL be playing matches in March and April. We cancelled the events, not the matches (though we will have to move a few things around in the schedule to make this work). https://t.co/guxoTWLhMk
SAVED 
so how many homestands is washington going to get?
Justice only had one homestand between now to the end of April
phew
so, will the bans apply to next round, or the soldier 76 is saved from the ban ?
@wintry kraken id assume it would apply to the next week of matches
@balmy wolf yeah, but there is no... matches this weekend :P. but yeah, probably it means next round
chipsa when
Never
external factors, likely processing time from the embassy it was sent for approval
guess we'll just never know...
(while in the US)
how much of an impact he could have made in the regular season
we might actually get to see chipsa, but being online just aint the same
i want to see his smug face up on the stage
Huh
ChipSa
Lmao
Fusion won't take any chances
Unless they scrim ChipSa on a map he has been practicing alot
Not sure which map is his best
Every map is his best
We are NOT canceling #OWL2020. Out of concern for fans, players, staff, and others we have just canceled upcoming Homestand events. We WILL be playing matches with our teams this month, next month, and beyond – and these matches will be broadcast to fans. (Part 1)

Isn't today KR contenders?
I feel like this should be here
my discord crashed when I saw this so I think they don't want us too know
lets hope krystal acts better
Krystal going to fuck over hunters too
@celest spear why r u buying chengdu shirts :((
is the league cancelled?
should happen any minute now
its like the only thing that's not cancelled at this point
so are hero pools gonna change today confirmed?
@tawny sigil all of the events in March and April are cancelled but the games will be streamed elsewhere
Does this mean the chinese teams are back?
outlaws suck dick
Avast is interviewing Blase on his twitch
Speaking of Outlaws
As of this morning I'm a free agent. Let's talk.
Yes this means what you think it means. No I don't have a logical explanation and no I'm not hiding anything.
Life goes on. Thanks for everything. 💚
Their GM (FLAME) is now gone
I quit @Outlaws 🥳
Gonna take a few days to myself (first time in 3 months I think!) then I'll be around to chat if you're interested.
Operation manager quits too
This leads me to believe that something is happening behind the scenes that’s probably real ugly
no wonder
Their GM was an absolute Pepega
It's their fault, not the players
Yeah
management is a shitshow
They'd risk overworking themselves to death with having not been paid for shit
But they're not bringing lots of results tho..
When you read back on his recent tweets and he can't afford a massage for a knot in his back, the org has never, I repeat NEVER, was in a good condition long enough for players or coaches to perform at their best
They're not going to change
Why tf not Houston?
Houstan i have no faith in
Dragons and mayhem i did
Houstan are just something else entirely
Yes
the players are fine imo
For realztairong is still waiting to get paid
Still on their coaching staff with Dream
maybe he got paid
MESR is going to have better opportunities
but their staff is a shitshow
@karmic grotto and fair enough, its been months since that post
Idk much about outlaws' owners
Idk much about outlaws' owners
Idk much about outlaws' owners
But im assuming their bad or dont know anything
Wtf
My wifi just shit itself
Welp
RIP me
People love to make out a redemption arc for themselves, flame really had brought the Houston Outlaws up in the past 3 years
So that might be why it wasn't like him to abandon his business baby with the funding behind him
?
I'm still in shock but I'd be lying if I didn't say I feel relieved. The last three months have been miserably stressful and overworked. Having time to catch my breathe and focus on my physical and mental health is a good thing. Everything is a learning opportunity. Nikas hap...
601
stress and overwork seems
Yeh, thats what i thought too, oh well
What kind of strat is that to kick him?
@hidden vault that question begins and ends with 'houston ownership'
And look towards Valorant, unless he’d like to take a punt backwards to opportunities in CDL or the like
Its Houston, the amount of bad decisions they make makes it all seem intentional.
The fact that harsha is on as head coach kinda shows he was taken off Vancouver without any objection
At least here in camp Outlaws, he gets to coach
Even if everything is on fire for reasons beyond their control
You know what I would bet
I bet Nai would be a better coach than Harsha. #ProveMeWrong
Who is Nai lol
A gamemaster
@green stump
What would your credentials be as a coach for Houston Outlaws lmao
@austere adder the schedule should remain unchanged
I can't find any info on tomorrow's games though
Flame went thru hell first 2 seasons, seems kinda odd he would just leave now all of a sudden
Did the homestand cancellations finally do it?
Read above^

@sullen berry not good as my mechanics knowledge would need to be much more formidable
Do any of u guys know when BlitzChung will be unbanned?
My game sense and analyticals are pretty good, but my mechanics are not the best @karmic grotto basically to get a full return on abilities in a pro setting
Is this as a player, or as coach? If as coach, what do you mean with < basically to get a full return on abilities in a pro setting
Fucking Corona virus
that sucks. i'm kinda sad the allstar game is moving too
Can someone explain to me why Vancouver Titans have zero games between february 8 and may 16?
Cause roster is shitty
why would a team's roster stop them from having any games?
Ok
So basically
Every game between March and April is unscheduled as of now
And Vancouver only got to play games bc they weren’t in China for February
Any reason they weren't in China for February?
Bc the games they played were not in China
I don't follow. What stopped them from having games scheduled in February?
China had a little virus
And Vancouver plays in the same conference as all the Chinese teams
Oh, so they just cancelled any games that were set in china?
Yes
And Vancouver had 3 weeks of games there?
They would’ve been in China for later February
Or Korea
But neither place was safe or is rn
gotcha
Canceled homesteads and whatnot
Have you heard about covid-19? Lol
no
just a headsup, contenders stream starting soon; there are two contenders youtube channels, and streams are only on one of them
Which region?
?
eu
BH 3-2 SMC
SMC won map 1 just due to BH ff
map 2 BH playing with a coach in australia
then danned came in and BH didnt lose a point
has there been any news about a command center for youtube?
or a way to earn tokens watching
Thinking of starting an Overwatch team, anyone want to help start one?
I need a serious question answered
Has anyone heard of a French contenders player called Minato?
Plays for a team called Hybrid
or is playing for 2 teams, so is a hybrid
@green stump i like how the conversation was initally a joke, but i'm reconsidering what analytics/game sense is favourable for you to be a better player vs a better coach
Also, the signs at the Justice homestands
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/377127072243515393/686289404192489593/unknown.png
Tbh this week might just be outright cancelled with no online matches @karmic grotto
So they can prepare for next week and the weeks after
Yup starts 21st of march
Anyone watching open divison?
So no matches today right?
they don't do a very good job of telling the two articles apart, this is what's linked in @balmy wolf's post about this weekend's matches
they don't have clear communication
no
when are the next matches
21st and i heard rumor that they might spread them out mid-week as well
#OWL2020 #Trivia time!
First up: Who played in the first match of OWL history?
LAV v Shock?
i do recall shock was in
if this goes on for the whole day
bet i'm going to be 30 and remember this moment I get these questions down thanks to my investment in this games' esports scene
because florida couldn't host their matches

I thought it was fuel v seoul but that wasn't preseason
lot of people thought the same
it was a hype battle, but far from the very first match played that day
rewatch it
it plays out so well
all that narrative behind it with DoA and monte apex knowledge fresh in their memories
😌 
will there be games today?
time for a nostalgia trip
if that's what they're going to do all weekend to make up for lost game time
which they are going to make up when the midseason tournament would occur
since that is no longer happening
$dk
People in comp sub are such kids. They don't know anything
so the OWL app just said Spitfire vs Fusion starting soon
close and restart and the schedule should be updated
All good things come to an end.
Yesterday was my last day with the Outlaws. Wanted to see the org thru acquisition & 1st homestand and have now parted ways. 💚 to the team & fans, 2020 is your year.
Exploring new options, DM me if you need a seasoned vet
426
President from Outlaws
new owners?
another one bites the dust
considering this month off is one of very few chances they have to take a break, remove the infrastructure that isn't running well enough to get to where they want
Schedule not saying anything for me :( can someone send a screenshot?
yeah this one month of no games really is crushing if there's an outlaws fan reading this
@harsh crane should have this bookmarked now, given how often this schedule has changed

Thanks bro. This is looking to be a very dry weekend
indeed
best way to kill time until watchpoint announcement tomorrow would be watching some past VODs
here's the order I'd recommend
also keep an eye on #683031952257056786 which will include OW League updates and short content during the day
at least it's something
I would have wanted to watch bench players play in some sort of matches
Bench vs bench in 2 teams, or 4
whatever, some tournament
online
NO GAMES THIS WEEK 
do whaaaaaat
why is the entire schedule gone from the website
because they need to be completely rewritten
i dont think the 21st will happen for owl
they wouldn't have announced it if they weren't confident they could do it
yeah will see how that goes
carpe think he slick. nope. https://youtu.be/sLRQAtRuRA4?t=648

#lf-players-na @sullen yoke
tldr what are they saying in watchpoint?
Watch it?
they announced next week's matches
hero pool draws are now weighted
Nice
Shanghai mascot eh
is it wearing goggles?
Hey! My team was second place in community clash and we would love people to actually be interested in our team and play style! If you want to support a team thats well worth your time, were right here!
https://twitter.com/OwProspect
Its a work in progress but we would love the support!
@broken valley I'm not sure what you want for your team, but this is probably not the place to ask for it xD try #lf-players-na maybe?
I really dont like the dragons' mascot
Was the monkey flank with muma calculated since of the beginning of the game? (or like before it)
@nocturne cairn
yes/no question
I would say no to that. Because that's saying it was pre-planned minutes before it happened
However
You can still make plans on the fly and think about it
It's what strategy is
Because you're saying that they can't make their own plays/strategy on the fly
Am I allowed to stream watch parties for Contenders
Not sure If you need regular role to stream games in vice channels outside of general or lfg channels. Organising them? Message modmail if you wish to host them regularly
Props to contenders getting a shoutout at the tail end of watchpoint yesterday
Scheduled in the first battle for LA: http://twitter.com/overwatchleague/status/1239600248688787461
One weekend without #OWL2020 was hard enough 😭
Who's ready for more? ✋
We've got you covered, only on https://t.co/tbTGBsbQac 🎥

I assume they'll use the picked Hero pool for this weekend?
I'm glad they moved to a weighted drawing
as fun as the picking on the desk has been
I think it should be one hero from each category
one from 10 to 25, one from 25 to 50 etc
Though idk what they would do if there are none in one of the categories

When you sign sideshow twice
He's straight up gone now. It's over, he's addicted to the hot takes and no longer annoyed or bothered by them. He craves them to survive and he has lost all sanity. He defies laws of physics, can fire lasers and breathe fire but there's one weakness! He's heavily addicted now...

Sideshow looks like the eyebrow demons possessed him
Hi
will seol be good this year
Source? Arent they from the academy team? Seems a bit odd pick up
Beast has been looking alright, doubt this is happening
okay but this isn't exactly a surprise that they would utilize their academy roster, montreal rebellion
Why would they not just... Leave?
Like sure, they left the academy team
But they don't have to be promoted
Is there any xbox leagues
Hey I'm planning on making a OW team of bronze and low silver players to grow in the ranks as a team
DM me if you are slightly interested and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help coach or even help with managing the team
So we have the (online only) OWL schedule until week 12: https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/schedule
What is this again
Overwatch league
Also, there is a #lf-players-na channel @mental citrus
week 8 has so many games
ok thank you
spitfire are good
Me and the boys
going to invent esports?
is that jj watt on the right
Oh man you are all missing out on these new division games
NA
Also IDK what that's about because on my end it says i'm fine
@hidden vault It's not letting me DM you either
Stacked matches
This week we get 4 to get back into it
Then brace yourselves for 16
Yes sixteen matches over three days, like the good times
It was meant to be an extended screenshot.
This weekends are pretty epic, but I'm going to give them a hard pass, save for Seoul's debut in their promo router rumble
If you like this week's schedule which only the two matches each day ✌️
You'll be treated to a special Friday with the first matches between Pacific East teams (Seoul plays shock this weekend)
Eight games on Saturday
Then 6 on Sunday to round it off
Not bad to be honest, shame that airtime won't officially be on Twitch for the added viewership
There’s 22 the following week
mmm
imgine not having enough overwatch for a month
and then the makeup games become the ultimate bingefest that content creators will have a hard time keeping up
I'm livid due to the online shopping habits that have perked up irl
at this point I might as well throw in a jersey or two
Ope
@raw ermine week 8 has 16 games. week 9 has 22 games. week 10 has 19 games. week 11 and 12 has 20 games. will i even sleep through those weekends ?
I’m concerned for the casters ngl. Their throats are gonna die.

This threw me for a loop when I saw it. I thought youtube had glitched
We hope this makes your study time, dps queue and social distancing just a little easier.

If I had to guess the teams of China are in China
Seoul and all of Pacific West are somewhere on the West Coast
And all of Atlantic are somewhere on the east coast
Ok, i got diem, xzi, elivote, guxue, idk, and anamo for these next 2 weeks
V

is getting a g pro wireless worth it i have a steel series rival 310

I promised you all that @imAVRL and I were not done with Contenders. As much as I'm sad to not be covering the Pacific region for the first time since 2017, I'm pleased to announce that we will be casting Contenders Korea! Tune in tonight for the first matches.
141
Proud of this upgrade
From Contenders Pacific for 3 years they’ve made it to Korea
New Zealand to Korea pogchamp
i've kinda been wondering for a while, but anyone here know why there are no women in owl?
At this point yes she’s a woman in OWL but she feels like a token player
token?
Oh she doesn’t play
We honestly haven’t seen her play mainly atm because she is part of the shanghai dragons which is a chinese team and like Looks outside at the global pandemic yea...
She saw playtime in season 1 but less so in season 2 and none so far for obvious corona related reasons but yea
season 1, she played a lot after being picked up at, the end of stage 1?
season 2 she played a lot at the start, and a bit in stage 4
shanghai was either running sombra goats/triple dps, so no off tank, or envy on off tank
now they have void, so idk if she will play
we saw her on orisa, so idk what she will play
Void is an insane dva which I’ll expect will see lots of play so I expect him in
Geguri was only known for Zarya right?
Yeah and her Hog was good enough
the last game I remember watching at her peak was last season https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfmQXe1W3Hs

played the map 5 on ilios and boy was that an underrated victory for geguri
duplicating a hero with uber fast charge time this is going to be hotba's dps hero
there's definitely some flaws to pick, but what a hero
i think we'll see teams run goats-esque teams with her
also, lucio speed and heal at the same time sounds very good for dive comps
there's some incredible situations he's shown already - you can take advantage of her vertical movement before duplicating
if the enemy hero happens to be in line of sight while airborne
this is mostly hitscans - you can use that to drop onto the team more safer than sombra or pharah
wiping her out in dupe would revert her back to echo and is quickly killed off like a tracer no dash
I feel like support ults will be duped a lot
i think more specific support ults will be duped
generally I think the tank ones are more likely overall though
yeah
thinking about zoning ults and leveraging very situational tank duplication
imagine double sig ult
three going off in one teamfight, dope
flankers like eileen surefour or sbb be dammed
but of course teams will be reading these plays very well
and have to build out their team comp accordingly.
The echo player on each time will wind up having a harder time picking the right hero to duplicate
historically, here's a couple players that have adapted to new heroes quickly:
Rascal
Hotba, Libero
Hydration, blase
Pulling names out of a hat here, some current players that would probably pick her up if she becomes meta by midseason:
Erster
Surefour
EQO
Stratus
GodsB
BQB
Stitch
XZI
Jinmu
Schwi
Architect
I had my thoughts on architect, but now rascal has been on dps since role lock and would have the edge over arc
Echo looks like a Gengi players dream
jeff said s4, therefore toronto wins OWL
surfour's life before Overwatch he majored in software engineering
so I wouldn't doubt the kind of good vibes he has for surefour

https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/news/23355426 no fun games this weekend
Games got pushed back again
fuckity fuck
sigh....

@tawny sigil lost count now, this reschule shift number 6?
- China Games, move to Korea w/ no broadcast
- Rest of Asia in Mar-Apr cancelled
- Paris bails, no home games until May
- Florida cancelled, moving to online
- Online only schedule, aka the "important update"
- oop not anymore with this weekend's "official update"
just cut it dude, just cut it *cough cough* just cut it
im sure we would know if some of the players had corona
but gamer tend to be good at social distancing
Last time blizz realesed a flex dps hero i was the best in the world at him, now they realese another one? Its my time to shine
748
OWL is dead
So I take it they're going to go afk and post twitter polls this weekend? Maybe some replays for SOME semblance of activity?****
21 should be online play, they couldn't get that one done
Idc if castors not ready
Put ZP in a room for 6 hours casting
You have to do something
People are waiting and waiting
Well they may not have equipment at home, ear buds don't work the same.
That's true
Finally DLC teams that got to play this weekend, it gets cancelled... that really makes me annoyed and irritated
At least if no matches, what about showdown matches for fun?
People really want to see other teams play, like the Asian teams, Dallas, Shock, Valiant etc...
