what are the odds that this season just gets cancelled entirely
lilac atlas
none
they'll find a way but its a bummer to have another weekend without games
you have to keep in mind that they are rapidly changing everything from homestands to purely online play
it sucks a lot to see this happened but eventually it will hopefully work out

Rank OWL teams
@lilac atlas you’re the pro here
Can u help me rank pro teams
Best to worse
lilac atlas
Lol am I the pro tho?
balmy wolf
@brisk canyon i can give u a top 5 of right now?
and bottom 5 ^
would be very debatable tho
brisk canyon
@lilac atlas yep
I believe u
Top 5 and bottom 5 in order of best or worse
@lilac atlas yes
@balmy wolf
lilac atlas
i'll toss my rankings in here after im done with something
brisk canyon
Ok
balmy wolf
does it have to be in order
brisk canyon
Nah
balmy wolf
ok
brisk canyon
Just top 5 best teams
And bottom 5
But make it in order like the worse team is on the bottom so I know
Which one is worse or better
balmy wolf
1 - 5: shock, philly, nyxl, paris, atlanta
16 - 20: florida, Toronto, Houston, dallas, boston

Why not stand1?

@supple prism ahh now this is a refreshing question!
@hot heart if you know next to nothing like I do, watch all the VODs you can. His most recent performance at the Shanghai masters may have been broadcasted in Chinese but it takes common sense to gauge if he is any good or not by watching it
sullen berry
it's such a good read on the teams, as old as it is
Charge with Cr0ng instead of hotba will take time to synergize, he's a different off-tank to what hotba delivered

Why is the OWL not hosting matches today? They don’t need to worry about Coronavirus if they’re all playing from home, right?
sullen berry
These were still meant to play out online, it's due to LA's strict laws around it
For the overall safety and well-being of our players, teams and staffs, and in alignment with California’s statewide ‘stay at home’ order, we are canceling this weekend’s scheduled Overwatch League competition.
gonna message my extended family over in LA
because that sounds awful
sullen berry
"play for" is a better way to describe what they're saying
could have been how many players have ATL Academy were promoted to play for the Atlanta Reign?
my biggest problem is making it a poll
because you're getting a majority answer
and some answers stretching to say dogman counts and would make that five players

Funnyastro technically played, but for 1 game as a 2 way

they playing two OWL Echo PTR exhibition matches tomorrow Shock VS Seoul and Val VS Glads
tawny sigil
so are they scrapping home games entirely and just getting everyone to go to LA?
upper niche
No.
sullen berry
@tawny sigil they posted this two days ago, don’t know how you got the idea they needed to return to LA
For the overall safety and well-being of our players, teams and staffs, and in alignment with California’s statewide ‘stay at home’ order, we are canceling this weekend’s scheduled Overwatch League competition.
So yes it can be done despite the order
tawny sigil
that's not really related to my question but ok
sullen berry
So long as they have slapped on the home stands in the current schedule
They will continue
Historically it looks like they could also get cancelled in favour of online matches within 24 hours
tawny sigil
they jsut need to give up on that, travel ban are in place all over the world and that's not gonna be removed in 2 weeks
sullen berry
Let alone 3 months
upper niche
If ANY kind of activities are to happen across a lot of sports and events before the end of May I'd be seriously surprised, unless it's a very reckless government.
Just because it isn't MERS doesn't mean things should open.
sullen berry
If we got less to no movement from the virus by June, in select countries, wouldn't that make them idea travel destinations?
Sure the numbers proportionally aren't that high
But if China can go claim the numbers infected have decreased and they can't explain why apart from the obvious measures they have done
Those games in Pacific East might be salvageable in their last month of homestands
That'd be wishful thinking mind you, doubt it could happen
upper niche
Huh? How do you figure? You're assuming they will even let you in if you're from a country who sees a continued outbreak, and the travel industry has resumed any ability to get to those places.
sullen berry
I'd love to see sign of China at a breaking point because so much trade they're dependent on is international for a start
sullen berry
How they would go about accepting overseas travellers will be divisive at worst, but ideal for business once they have laid out their conditions of travel that doesn't cause risk of spread
As this article brings up, travel to china is actually resuming in small sizes from San Fran. to assess passengers prior to leaving
SAN FRANCISCO - March 17, 2020 – Several airlines based in China have announced plans to resume limited flights to and from San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The schedule, subject to change, is as follows:
Wed 18/03 one-off daily flights to Shanghai
...
Sun 29/03 one-off to Guangzhou 4 times per week
Now that does factor in the requirements to declare enhanced entry screening
and the standard self-quarantine for 14 days once they return to the US.

@raw ermine False, it's 6. Fragi - Finland :)
He played like, 13 seconds
But he did
raw ermine
he played in the Shanghai masters tourney
short sparrow
Yeah true
raw ermine
I think the answer depends on the wording
they say "have had players from 5 different nationalities play for them"
sullen berry
@short sparrow now the tricky thing here is such a good example of how vague it gets for the community
tropic herald
Neptuno hasn’t
sullen berry
emphasis on "had" played
they started out with 4 nationalities
and you would consider bischu one of 2 US natives
short sparrow
Added Fragi for 5
sullen berry
yup, neptuno didn't need to be considered
sullen berry
honestly?
short sparrow
Its at least 5 effectively
sullen berry
I think it's a shame how Tier 2 presence and showmatches are generating so little attention to the league
most of this is either in fear or doubt that they might actually be better at times in production or engagement if they advertised it
short sparrow
Hurricane vs SMC was great 😊
Also
That's Sugarfree, Saucy, Pika, Daans and Carcar without team

I have a question
Is it normal for a team (Low gold) to start replaying games and asking players what they were thinking when doing specific things in game?
Or at that rank is it too early?
supple prism
Its never too early

I think im just overthinking it really
We just got out of a game and a member of our team started streaming his discord on a reply of one of our games and hes pointing out where we went wrong
Me and my gf just joined for a bit of fun really

worthy anvil
so is shock not playing anymore on the 28th?
and if they are will i be able to watch it live?

Hopefully we get at least half of them

Why should they be cancellled?
They can perfectly do their job from home, but man
That schedule is hard
never had so many games before
karmic grotto
You know I don't mean that literally?
feral wing
ok
warm venture
Does the OWL have a badguy/villian? A figure like Leffen, Hungrybox, somebody like that?
warm venture
Why?
brisk canyon
They suck
And they feed
If you’re a fan for outlaws it’s waste
They “get good” for a few matches
Cuz of hero pools
And then disappoint their fans
Who had their hopes up
It’s like a sugar rush and then crash
Boston on the other hand
Had no hope so
They’re more just the bad team
warm venture
That's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a legit threat.
warm venture
If they just suck then that's not good villiany. I want evil and dangerous.
warm venture
I'm a badguy, and I want somebody to idolize and base my play off of. I need that.
brisk canyon
But they’re my favorite team so
Lol
Fusions is really good too
Except they lost against a mediocre team once this season
warm venture
Being nice and social and soft isn't working for me in this game. So I want some mean ass toxic mofo to model after, but he's gotta win too.
brisk canyon
Shock talks a lot of trash
And they got toxic players
Who called the other team sloppy and trash to boost their morale
But they’re also the best players in the world rn
warm venture
I like it.

sullen berry
OW League schedule so good
If they did this many games next year each weekend
It’d be a 48 hour festival every weekend with at most 8 hours break in between
karmic grotto
This was kinda the original schedule like schedule
It begins in week 9
Friday till Monday for me
sullen berry
A full weekend worth of games in one day mate, that’s the dream
sullen berry
Shame the viewership isn’t expected to grow a whole lot
karmic grotto
They need the tokens
sullen berry
But that’s blizzard logic to defy expectations
karmic grotto
You can potentially earn so many tokens and sprays
But it isn't there
Why?
Shouldn't the tech be simple
?
It's freaking Google
We're almost 2 months since February and still no tokens
sullen berry
They have the battle.net connection, a shock Zarya skin to release, small indie company that had to patch YouTube into the OWL app first two weeks into the season
karmic grotto
sullen berry
I’m not complaining about the development
sullen berry
Mmm
karmic grotto
What the hell did they do with the buy in money?
Activision Blizzard be: Activision
karmic grotto
All the money they could have invested, but instead, they are greedy
sullen berry
The mindset would probably be the need to reinvest what’s needed to operate
karmic grotto
If they were not greedy...
sullen berry
And that’s still heaps of money they need to manage properly
karmic grotto
What do you mean with that
sullen berry
Human Resources in any job does not come cheap
So if staff, spectators, analyst, caster all get a cut for reasonably good play
karmic grotto
True
sullen berry
On top of players who get their stage and season prize money
To this day
The outlaws still aren’t getting for their stage 3 performance last year
There’s a reason why the OWL prize pool isn’t even close to 10m
karmic grotto
I think that was old news, they were paid, or at least, one of the coaches was paid...
Prize pool of 1.5 million
That's ridiculously low
For an esports that brands itself as a true league
sullen berry
Even if it was paid, you gotta beat this mindset to the ground that players aren’t getting paid for their work, the turnover is high and the stuff that happened with sposnsorship behind the scenes is what hold it back from larger investments
karmic grotto
And that's something that irritates me
Big major sponsors, you need those
But how can you grow if you're not letting the teams have their custom sponsors?
I believe there are events, esports where sponsors take part in the prize pool
Owl is fun and stuff, but it's on the edge of dying and succeeding
The homestand thing is awesome
Big points for that
supple prism
i dont see it as on the edge of dying
karmic grotto
Well, see it like this: it either works, or it doesn't
Or, third, alternative: change it
brisk canyon
It will work
It has to
OWL won’t die
OWL generated billions more revenue
Since it’s opening
This year introducing hero pools
Made it much much better too
karmic grotto
Owl didn't generate billions of revenue, that's fake news
And this is with sold team spots, advertisements and broadcasting rights
It sure is more in 2020, but not billions. The most revenue was made in 2018
2019 had additional teams, then switched in 2020 to YT
I would estimate that on 250 million (average of 6 extra teams) + 150 million YT contract = 400 million + (X amount of advertisement)
As of now there no recent articles of 2019 and 2020, I wonder why
sullen berry
Was there any other article backing up this claim back in 2018?
I’d have the feeling the industry would be at a billion, but least of all OW League which the article tries its hardest to validate
sullen berry
Yeah this one went a little lower but high enough for lazy billionaires to round it up
They did the math based on the theoretical maximum ticket sales they could achieve which was hilarious
If every game still had attendance due to season passes at blizz arena or something
They can’t have made more than $500k in tickets. Hardly anyone would pay to watch those matches with middle of the pack teams
Back then that was something like Fusion, Boston Uprising and the Danteh/babybay show that made up San Francisco Shock
Who on earth wanted to watch Boston upset against London or Shock get smouldered back then against Dallas and Houston?
hidden vault
But what's the profit??
karmic grotto
long term investing
That's what they do
We did have an article that Shock was making profit
Or almost profit

twin kettle
I wonder if it will be favored for a say a tank player to work on and learn echo, rather then a dps player to work on echo, while also learning how to play tanks at a high level
balmy wolf
you're dps player is probs garbage if they couldn't play tanks for 15 seconds in a pro match
tropic herald
With players like Rascal
I’d assume they want their dps to learn Echo
Presumably the flex dps learns Echo
ChipSa Echo inc?
twin kettle
Hasnt chipsa been benched for the most part? I havent watched any, fusion is it?, games
tropic herald
He’s rode the bench the whole time
But I could see redemption where he somehow manages to pick up Echo faster than other players on his team
Although
That’s unlikely
twin kettle
It seems like he kinda lives and dies with doom
tropic herald
Considering Carpe and Ivy are known for their rather strong pools
And even Eqo too
ChipSa has an insane doom
And then his other notable heroes are probably just Gengi, Hanzo, Mei and Pharah
So theoretically if doom becomes meta
We might see him
twin kettle
I've only heard of his notable doom play, but not much else
But i dont watch him either w/e
tropic herald
ChipSa hero pool is
Doom >>>>>>>> Gengi >>>> Hanzo >> Mei > Pharah >>>>>>> everything else
twin kettle
we may see a genji come back, i feel like a buff is in the works for him, idk about doom
balmy wolf
its very unlikely you'll ever see chipsa be subbed in
Every other hero besides doom is covered by someone else
And carpe basically has a locked starter slot
twin kettle
He felt like a weird grab
balmy wolf
ok streamer pickups this year had 3 noteable things that got them into the team
Marketability due to them having popular on stream, specialization on a hero, their cheap
tropic herald
I mean he does have a really strong doom
And he got picked up at the time of a doom meta
twin kettle
I was kinda of jayne's side of thing when the controversy off hiring a streamer rather then someone actively working on getting into the pro scene
balmy wolf
chipsa tho is like a backup of a backup
balmy wolf
ANS is a bit different since his hero pool is primarily hitscan and his mechanical skill is immense
balmy wolf
Yes, however thats his strongest dps
twin kettle
FFA isnt really a good indicator of an actual game
balmy wolf
he plays hitscan just fine
balmy wolf
makes sense since striker is the only other hitscan dps on shock
tropic herald
Yeah and Striker might’ve had his widow hyped up
twin kettle
Its probably going to take doom coming back for him to be played
tropic herald
Bc at least when I was watching it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t amazing
balmy wolf
its not bad too have redundancy
balmy wolf
striker has a crack mcree
balmy wolf

one the best tracers we've seen in the game alongside sbb
profit too has a cracked tracer
tropic herald
Also if the tracer thing happens to live
balmy wolf
and houston is still a big question mark
tropic herald
Houston coaching
And unlucky with sickness
Not coaching
Manage my
Management

Im also wondering if architect is becoming a dps/flex support player
tropic herald
Bc Rascal is kinda Architect but Rascal has the clutch gene
With the uncanny ability to learn heroes super fast
Dallas let go of that player btw
balmy wolf
I thinks its more on the line of load management that crusty is experimenting with
If architect can play a good ana, then you could split time between both him and viol2t and still give them equal play time
balmy wolf
moth
balmy wolf
however sinatraa is the leader
tropic herald
Watching Moth
I love it
He isn’t flashy always
But man
He thinks through things so well
Shout out to all the main supports I like watching
In OWL
Moth, Anamo, Slime, iDK, Masaa
balmy wolf
I remember slime clutch a point on koth by himself by just riding the ceiling
think it was the playoffs against NY or seoul
he got it too like 80% or something and they won in the end
tropic herald
Slime is a legend
I wonder why Shock haven’t even got a backup for Moth though
Or why lost teams just don’t have back up MSs
Most*
balmy wolf
considering hes the shotcaller, if their trialing someone they want someone similar too him
hidden vault
That skin doesn't like anything like shock?
And I'm also surprised they didn't get moth a back up
I assume rascal is the "back up" lol
balmy wolf
they have no backup for him since moth is the only lucio player
cloud latch
I thought super was the captain
brisk canyon
Which OWL team has the most friendly roster
I just wanna know which OWL team has nicest people
sage maple
Idk about nicest but I really like the Justice's roster, it feels like they're always having fun, especially the DPS duo Corey and Stratus, also Ark
tropic herald
Every roster has friendly people
sullen berry
Boston has Jerry
No other person would be your best friend more after discovering why he chose not to wear proper shoes in the snow
grave sonnet
i have a question, but i just want to preface it by saying i don’t mean this in a disrespectful way
how do the teams decide like the, state or country their from
raw ermine
Well
overwatch is made in California, so i guess a lot of teams are around there, as well as in the US in general
overwatch is also big in Korea and China, so teams are there
At the end of the day, its the biggest cities in the biggest countries
tropic herald
Certain parent companies are from certain cities
karmic grotto
Why wouldn't he?
celest spear
Heesu plays Hitscan
karmic grotto
And?
celest spear
Carpe also plays hitscan
I don't see Heesu playing unless it was like the weekend where both Widow and McCree were banned
uneven wren
raw ermine
sk has aprox 9000 cases
around 3700 recovered
the US is way more, but Canada has less than SK, and is bigger
BC only has 600 cases or so
celest spear
SK has drastically slowed the infection rate
South Korea is kinda rolling the Coronavirus over
tropic herald
Also SK is the homes of many members of London and Vancouver
raw ermine
hmm
the dps line is really stack to be fair
he it the ultra flex, which is extremely useful
technically, he is the weakest dps play, barring ANS who is an exception
arch, striker, and sinatraa are all more honed onto specific characters, and better at then
