I've got my broom turned upside down...
houston will be about to win and get disconnected X_X
That would be awful
Aaaa I so want Houston to win
Zap-zap.
Watching logix & linkzr having to play symm makes me sad
It’d be cool if Symm had an indicator somewhere on the screen telling you your charge %
Same for Zarya
yeah the sound of the microwave too
Yes, but something more precise wouldn't be bad.
Trying to use Houston cheese against them
It was a noble attempt, Beast.
Blizzard should win this for TD if they play smart
It has come to pass.
Reverse sweep!!!!!
I had hope for my match 5, round 3, c9 😦
Toronto are now 0 - 2 against Houston.
Wow what a game
Jesus that was an awesome game
Despite Muma's best effort, they won the game
Muma did fine

Better than the start of the season
Muma didn't throw today, I think that's the nicest way to put it
Jecse tho
rapel and rawkus pog
its true
Now there are six teams worse than Outlaws 🙃
muma = monkey
Winston is never gonna see real play until we see big balance changes. It'll always be Rein + something, or Orisa + Sigma/Dva
Hello,
We inform you that our dear @xzi_ow had to return to South Korea to treat severe neck pain. Xzi wishes to return to the competition at the end of his treatment.
Let’s wish him a good recovery ❤️

I wonder when Seoul is playing
Playoffs here we come
Look at that. Remember when Linkzr was a self admitted Widow one-trick in pro play?
next week most likely @balmy wolf
Now he's out here putting fools down on Hanzo.
got it
probably against spitfire and the chinese teams
schedules are weird this season
Schedules keep changing due to teams moving to Korea
I used to think it was the fault of the all korean rosters moving back to asia
okay reign vs. fusion? who u gonna say
PHILLY
the hype for reign overrated
My hombres.
give me that cheese win
3-0 Philly, Dogman to throw
I'm also working on call this weekend - v chill
im going reign, i think fusion isn't as flexible with hero pools.
They're riding high after that win from yesterday.
you'll never see erster crack when you hear the word flexibility
PF to throw in Chipsa and win the trash talk battle vs Gator/Dogman/Babybay 1v3
dunno, i am mostly just throwing a wild guess
Oooh, right. Shock and Glads will also be telling.
Honestly feels like this game could go either way. So hard to predict a lot of these matches at the moment
egg predictions
this is a lot more wrong than I had anticipated with the chengdu upset
and houston pulling off the reverse sweep
take me back to part 1
where I was treated like a god
18% win vs the community on charge vs titans
I know when a match is not in their favour lol
18% predicted Titans or Charge?
bruh
@outer zenith oh i swear to god, Hunters win% was like < 9%
pickem stats don't lie, since react predictions just flip flop to pretend they were right
18% here
but the reddit predictions were much lower
Houston's odds
Gotcha.
forever under 10%
If Philly wins: I go outside
If Atlanta wins: I make chocolate
either way I win and source chocolate this easter monday ¯_(ツ)_/¯
wow carpe really got a thing for torb since last game
Silly turret.
His S2 was pretty awful
hard to gauge whose the best ow player, nonetheless ever. too many different roles and things to analyze on
crushed that first round
That Brigitte did not work out
If we're looking at 2018, 2019, and now 2020, you'd be hard-pressed to find many others who've had the same overall success.
Carpe is up there, for sure.
He plays every dps hero at a very high level, but not sure he's the best at any of them
if u want just the last 3 years, to me the best overall player just on consistency is Mano
Carpe disappeared S2
I agree that Mano is in that circle as well.
He was more consistent in 2019, but one could also make the argument that Mano's "high's" don't match Carpe's.
I'd rate Profit above Carpe due to S2, but it's close
It's an interesting conversation though, but I'm certainly not going to argue it.
Profit in season 2? Easy.
But 1 is debatable, and this season? Not even in question.
Not seen much profit this season yet, will be interesting to see
Philly won that?
Carpe Clutch
I swear, if only Philly could trade their logo, colors, and players with the Spark.
I'd be in heaven.
I'm waiting for the day one day chipsa comes in out of nowhere
2?
I don't expect surprise Chipsa, they'll hype it for weeks for the PR
Philly have a pretty easy division this year. They've got like the bottom 6 teams to dumpster
I'd expect gritty to make it on the stage instead of chipsa https://twitter.com/daizednconfsed/status/1249441546383974405?s=19
Has there been any talk of the NA teams all playing each other? Otherwise Philly only really have Atlanta/Paris as competition. Assuming NYXL move to the asian matches
As is usually the case in leagues with set divisions, the first games of the season are against other teams in the division. Later on the divisions open up and you begin to see more teams from different divisions face off in the regular season.
So in short, soon.
Can they do that though with ping and online games? Seems difficult
Carpe is a fusion legend
No clue.
Gotta figure something out though.
I suppose, in a way, it's somewhat fortunate that this crisis occurred early into the season.
Gives OWL more time to figure out the details.
Im new to owl why did the coach just leave
They'll be spectating, could be a crash or anything
It used to be Dallas.
Dallas Fuel have pretty big US fan base, Dynasty are big in Korea for obvious reasons
Kind of a toss up now.
All of the most popular teams, at least initially, happened to be some of the worst performing teams.
Kind of funny, actually.
This Brig pick is a big baffling, what is it achieving
I'd say it's between Seoul, San Francisco, Shanghai, and New York.
Did you see that carpe hanzo play
I did
The man has superpowers
Dunno, pulling of a reverse sweep with this comp
Beautt
Difficult
The brig just seems to make 0 sense to me, am I missing something
Carpe my god
Brig is for Tracer
Not a fan of the Brigitte
You'll learn to love me. 
I'd rather see the Zen honestly, discord is nearly as powerful for the tracer

Am i fake fan for just getting into owl and picking philly as my favorite team
Yes.
No.
Nothing wrong with that
I kid.
I like philly for every other sport thats why picked them
Really not
Can't be fake if you like a good team
Omg cod cringe
Cod mobile is the most out of nowhere game
What do you mean?
It just kinda came out with very little announcement
Atl coaches throwing
@unborn nimbus its okay esp since the fusion is philly’s only good sports team
Still the brig pick, very weird
Far from clean though.
@vale pond im sorry have you seen the flyers and sixers this season
I’m a phillies fan it ruins it for the city
Also can we point out the dogman masaa role swap lol
ah finally erster mei
they forgot about that payload for a hot minute
Legs lmao
If you're an ATL fan, be glad you missed first 2 maps
come on gator, earster
This is a proper def
Are we about to get back-to-back reverse sweeps?
LETS GO
Reverse sweep begins with the erster babybay combo
Erster: no
And it closes out with Erster
Erster: who hurt my babybay
Everybody gangsta until erster plays mei
who did atlanta play at the begining of the 3 matches? did they make subs?
Edison on tracer mainly instead of Erster
This was just free time for edison to be comfortable
damn, but edison is good, who was giving him trouble?
Next week, they will play sharp and erster
Right now, meta isn't good
So I hope with these ranked
Ah fuck
Rein banned
I hope they ban 2 tanks
Pls
Maybe orisa
rein is banned in owl rn?
Edison was doing ok, but Carpe's torb was keeping him in check
No shield watch
It's D. Va this week
1 Tank, 1 support, 2 dps banned each week. Was confirmed in latest OW news
I predict Rein will be banned based on his playtime
StareWatch
as my name suggest, i can confirm that
It could be Rein/Orisa/Sigma by looks of it, always a chance of any of them
i also have a feeling it could be roadhog though
Or Ball...
I'm here until Vancouver get potentially sasquatched and for hero pools this week
I doubt there is enough Road/Ball play at high levels for ban
Titans lmao
Ball's one entry. Can't wait for that to be enough for roadhog getting no play
i wonder if there going to ban it based on all platforms character pick rate
Article said High level competitive, and someone earlier suggest they look at 4.3k+
I'm assuming they wont count console ladder lol

i just hope it turns out well
delicious
Making it consistent for OWL + Ladder is a good start at least
junk sym brig > rein orisa

:/
EZ
How’s the match so far?
ATL is one round away from granting us the 2nd reverse sweep of the day.
Bro, if atl plays mei Lucio, they will win
But this random hero x brig doesn't work
And now Philly is one round away from denying it.
I really don't get the brig at all, why not play Masaa on his best hero Lucio
SFS v GLA will be interesting. I predict GLA to win.
they might
Them getting swept or performing the sweep?
come on atl, we got this
Performing
from what happened last time with SF V LAG they will probably win
gg
heres the carpe widow
I expect SF will roll this week, they have Lucio back in pool now
They lost every map with brig
It would be poetic if ATL reverse swept Philly
With a brig
Unlucky.
The brig pick is really bad for ATL, it's not working for them at all
SF aren't having the best start to the season tbh
SF had 1 bad weekend when Lucio was out the pool imo, I think every teamn has had a bad weekend or so
Like Vancouver this week
Titans are looking like a middle of the pack team
They got welcomed to China
i didn't watch that match
Playing in the wrong neighbourhood
fell asleep and forgot about it.
Both teams they faced have rolled them
Philly is so damn efficient at the Halt - Amp Matrix - Fire Strike combo.
ATL PLEASE
that was such a massive throw
Else they would have rolled fusion
they should've kept erster in
who's in the uk right now?
Should have been up to masaa's lucio
is there a storm?
ATL seem to play well when they can have slow engages, Control doesn't work for that
cause outside is mad rn
No storm outside here in UK
@surreal stone I'm on the other side of the world, stay safe
well get the dub next time
i'm around by Birmingham don't know about you. and i will
Just sun showers
might have been my l.e.d's
I'm confused by Uber/MrX saying atlantic is stacked, as the only real teams in there are PF, ATL, Paris and NYXL, who I assume end up in asian games
PF should have a super easy route through the season if it stays online only for a large amount and just playing same teams
NY is North.
I assume NYXL will end up playing most of their matches vs chinese/korean teams as they've moved out there now I think?
Thanks
NY will be in Pacific East games
Who said they moved out?
I thought they were
I thought they were unable to set up their whole team to play in NY
Didn't they move out pretty soon after Covid19 picked up in NY for their safety
Nothing about their comms I'm aware of would imply they play Pacific division teams in East Asia
haven't really been watching a lot of league recently so idk whats going on
Isn't Tuesday new patch
yea
Chinese teams, Dynasty, Titans, NYXL and London all in 1 division could be quite fun to see
Tomorrow new patch of hero pools, does that mean owl will get the ashe mei patch
I hope
OWL should be on the ashe/mei patch next weekend I think if it goes live Tuesday
and I assume in 2 weeks time, Echo in OWL
Wrong
Oh wait
Yes
Tomorrow we get echo
2 weeks for OWL? Hmm
Too long, but it will be fun with Echo
echo in OWL would be interesting
I can't imagine she'll be in OWL before she unlocks in Comp
Provided she actually sees use.
I imagine some teams will try it, what is there to lose if you're WJ or Boston lol
Wouldn't want another Ashe on our hands.
I'd be amazed if Rascal isn't grinding Echo already too
Rascal already hit rank 1 on echo

i'm going to predict that lucio and rein are probably going to be the most popular hero choice for echo's ult
So is Sinatraa likely gone
haven't seen him play in a while so maybe
I think Sin is going to end up in NRG Valorants team if there is e-sports coming for that any time soon
Valorant. Poggies
Sinatraa's contract ends soon™️
You mean this year
No reason for him to resign if the contract doesn't change for him
Of course I meant this year
Soon sounds like within a month
will he be good at valorant is another question
I doubt he'd leave the organisation he's been with for 3 years, but may change game. NRG are not a small organisation
If Sinatraa leaves before his own 2019 MVP Zarya skin is released... 
He’s going to play for Selfless in Valorant
Valorant is going to probably die out very fast in my opinion
Emongg Dafran Sinatraa reunion in Valorant? I'd watch it haha
I'd watch that.
It's going to consoles
Agreed.
yea in like what 2 years?
In less time than overwatch took to be on switch, if it comes to that
Be curious to see how quick the Pro scene in Valorant grows honestly
CSGO took a while to come to console
super bad
OMEGALUL
Shock getting wrecked left and right
Outplayed
Outclassed
Main Tank Difference
Smurf ball, map over
it's going to be balling
i think its because of the well
This is like watching Chendu play
That's what I was thinking.
ANS is a nasty widow, can see why they picked him up
it throws every team off
easy shot for ANS haha
Well is like, either shield wins, or spam damage wins
If you had Sigma
Could easily shield Widow
Aight 1-1
There losing to super on orisa
If Glads get first cap here, they should win this one easy imo
well this map is going to be interesting
Interesting comp from SF
ANS trying to hard carry here
ANS is nutty
Playing around him yeah
drats
Is Winston banned?
No
No.
dva is
Wtf
no
Dva banned atm
Where is the fucking Winston
Ball is superior
I think if you go winston, enemy team instantly goes rein/torb/mcree and you're a feed
Now their on there main characters
wow
ANS is carrying
they had no business winning that....
a mess
who needs Sinatraa anymore
This was ANS proving why he got onto this team I think
pretty much
I mean, yes. ANS was great, but also, eh at times.
I doubt he’s scrimming if he’s streaming all day
I mean, everybody had a moment. And then that finish.
Yeah, LA Geese
What would you really run Sinatraa on at the moment, unless you get a Tracer/Dom meta?
Nah, they don't need to make subs
Sure, but if you're only running 1 or 2 different dps per map, you stick to whoever plays it best
I would say Sinatraa is only better at Tracer/Doom vs other dps on SF
I think shock win this map
Absolutely necessary.
shock getting cocky
Give 'em the bags.
who’d he kill
tbh#
SF play better when they get cocky imo, it motivates them
look how cocky Vancouver got in the finals and that didn't go well did it
Shock getting cocky until meta changes
god damn ANS
ANS is defiantly MVP of the season rn
in my opinion...
It’ll probably be Carpe
He's been looking solid though.
Or Xzi
bare in mid i haven't watched a lot of league so my opinion is invalid
He's proving himself as a very good hitscan, but barely any data so far
he's new correct?
Yes.
Yikes Super
If he keeps performing the way he has been though, I can definitely see it.
Man I would have just played junkratat this point
Is the sound really off for anyone else or just me?
Wtf oge
The sound is 1-2s before the video for me
Super is the king of 5head shatters
he either does really good stuff or really stupid stuff
I hear the ult noise for shatter, then it happens 2s after lol
That oge trying to make cool play failed
I would say, unless you have a map won, don't try funny things
I don't have a aduio delay
?
That's a stretch
He wanted to shater rascal specifically
Shock throwing now
I think he meant to do it
Super getting a bit toxic
They think they're good team
It's Super, he's going to always be super cocky
But if they played vs fusion they would get rolled
its literally in his name
Shock have been doing that forever. It's literally their thing, whether justified or not. Why would they suddenly stop?
Shock are really shit when they can't run Choi on DVA and Moth on Lucio. Take 1 of those out and they really struggle
rivalry i guess
Super is way too aggressive without having a Zarya or Dva to keep him alive
lol these shatters this game
oh ANS
Somebody take this mans tea cup.
Can't wait for the day that shock gets boomed into 3-0
so much tactical crouching
SF must just always have a really cocky team style, for a new player to join them and be like that instantly
He fits right in.
god knows what the coms are like
whose new?
ANS
ANS
ANS
^
oh. well hes not really new to overwatch. hasnt he been pro since 2016?
i have 2 team shirts
Not pro. But he's been a prominent streamer.
ans
Mmhm. ANS is one of those.
ANS took over for Sinn for the tbags
ANS fits in too well
ans god damn
I like it, gives the team some personality
Agreed.
atl reign had personality but then dafran left
Welp
oof
Need some villains.
too much personality
Every storyline needs villains
Fissure lmao
It all sets up for SF to be super cocky, and then they play PF and Chipsa comes in and gets the 6k, calls them out in team chat and gets banned
If they do lose, they'll do it crouching.
Idk about that one cheif
He won't get banned
lmao
ChipSa will smash on them, but when?
If it was anubis they would win easy
We can only hope it comes true
I believe.
we all do
Have you tried the White Cheddar ones?
i'll see if i can get my hands on some
Mmhm.
i mostly eat flamin hot cheetos or sensations
What are Sensations?
where sinatraa at?
are you in Europe?
not cool
thats why
Ah.
@violet spindle I mean, that's honestly the best answer though. He doesn't seem to be around anymore.
And all signs are pointing to Valorant.
Thai Sweet Chili sounds good.
it is
damn, hes the reason i bet on the shock :/
oh no
Sin played a few other NRG tournaments on other games lately too I think, I think he's going to end up moving to another team within NRG
Probably why they've kept Rascal too
Definitely a good investment.
thats just the roadmap i think
@dark silo In short, the Corona Virus outbreak messed up the scheduling in South East Asia.
Okay thanks
and seoul is ranked 1 still lol
Is that the only reason tho bc some teams just don’t play in the homesteads
Yeah it’s dumb
Philly fusion is 8-1 but Seoul technically has no losses
Yo biggoose please stop diying
Asian region games are going to be interesting, as going to be a lot of teams there to fit in all the games
Rascal is a bad junkrat
the teams are playing in their homes right?
yeah
There are Pacific and Atlantic Divisions (and then North, South, East, Weat). Seoul is in the Pacific side. Teams from each division basically only play other teams in those divisions for the first half of the season. So even though Seoul was scheduled to play at other homestands, those events were all in South East Asia against teams in the region. Which was compromised first.
@dark silo
As a result, Seoul (and many other teams) have played significantly less games at this point.
biggoose
The law of Equivalent Exchange.
^ mad respect
Thank you.
shock proved me wrong so far
Classic gladiators flop, eh
sHoCk ARe bAD
I want another reverse sweep...
what the hell was that dragons

but still
we can not lose
literally cant go tits up
Both supports getting picked
Then Zen gets picked again by being in a stupid position
I've never seen a Zen getting halted to death on B
Both booped off map is unfortunate, BGoose and Shaz should know better
welcome to owl
Yip
https://twitter.com/pariseternal/status/1249412822771142657?s=21 for anyone wondering about Xzi
Just playing heroes to give them more tickets
GOOSE
just shows how easily a team can crumble under pressure
imagine
only c9

only C9 would C9
reverse sweep?
I really hope the Dev team are going to push out a bunch more balance changes soon. I don't think the Mei one is going to change much
is it time?
F
I am balanced...
Ok

STONKS
shock are smart tbh
All the bags.
Shock just have to pray Lucio doesn't get banned
Every bag in the box.
Shock didn't want to use money, but they had no choice
Their playstyle goes awful without speed boost
But to pay gladiators to throw without us knowing
words?
Everything changed
Wonder who's getting banned.
With Mei
probably mei, lucio or mcree
They could be literally anything, Sym has probably had enough play to be over the 10%
Mei should be nailed on a cross for just existing
Mei will be a lower % as she was banned last week remember
true
so are there games next week?
mcree is probably a high % rn
I'm not going to lie, Mei was banned last week. And that was the most boring weekend of OWL so far this season. Coincidence? Absolutely. Ban her again.
Mcree was banned last week too wasnt he? I'd expect Doom, Torb, Mei, Mcree, Symm and Hanzo to all be eligible for bans
Tracer may have sneaked into the 10%+ range too
trob banned strictly duue to carpe's play time lol
Nah, it's over for the legs.
I pray for a Mei, Orisa, Brig, Torb ban
He's too strong.
Every team wants to win, no matter the meta
But bunker comp with Mei should be erased
Shit is boring
Nobody likes to watch it
Yet we watch only for the teams and players bruh
I want doom dive to be meta for a week, or tracer Genji
Seriously I had most fun owl 3 weeks ago
Winston Dva, Doomfist, Brig Zen and another X dps
Remember that Hack-Fist Dive comp from a month ago? I do. Good times...
oh yea
Thank heavens for Chengdu.
that was the good times
I don't think we'll see a proper dive meta, Rein meta will always be preferred over it, and if no rein, Orisa/Sigma
Ban metas
I do want dive meta :)
But If I had to have one, give me Dive. 🙂
I just want Dive to be viable without having to ban a bunch of heroe
I think it'd take big changes though sadly, probably have to rework immortality field a bit, and nerf shields more
Echo may cause chaos, not seen much of her played other than the pro pugs
She seemed ridiculously OP at that stage
"Sinatraa retired to become a professiona Mario Kart player."
He's a big OWL fan.
And then ChipSa is gonna get playtime for next week (maybe not, depending schedule and meta)
You just got vectored Sinatraa

Eqo a bench boi too rip
ChipSa playtime once
Once Philly gets the playoffs threshold
You know what the most odd thing is?
Then they’ll sandbag 
Hog was played some
It’s actually crazy the only reason he doesn’t play is cuz Ivy is better at a single 🦸♂️
Hero *
And that hero happens to be a busted hero
Ivy Mei one trick
Ivy is a good player
Looks like we aren't getting more info on pools
RIP.
oh, Lucio/Zarya can't be removed either
Good
bap or zen for support den
So heroes banned this week for comp + owl are immune?
HAHAHAHA
oh LMAOOO
GET DESTROYED
WOOOOOOOOOO
How has Baptiste not been above the %
GOTEM
ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED
3 genji's being banned
Is this just the Outlaws Violet streamer getting Brig banned lol
Who’s banned so far?
Brig
Very true. Goodbye, Violet.
oh rip
RIP Super
Brig was the only eligible support to be banned
no super
lol ashe
Give me more Sig/Orisa
I'd so love to see Ashe banned
no mei??
wtf no mei!????????????
wait
ASHE!?
ITS RANKED TOO
Mei was banned in Comp this week wasnt she? So she cant be banned
DON'T WORRY
THANKS, SUREFOUR. YOU FUCKED ASHE
not just s4
meh
that's fine
Wtf is this hero pool
Why is Mei still not out?
This is a lot less funny without a draw
I think Mei was out this week in Comp
Cause mei is a OWL only picked virtually
So she couldn't be removed a 2nd week
Out this week was Pharah-Sym
Oh
Mei was just not highly picked in ladder
She just isn't played enough in ranked then lol
Are the full bans out?
ah rippppppp
OK?
AGAIN?
Mei is absolutely picked on ladder.
MCCREE WIDOW AGAIN
Basically the same heroes banned
Thanks alot owl
AHSE META
so sigma orisa mei reaper lucio ana?
Nothing CHANGED
Chengdu are going ot be happy, Pharah meta
or lucio bap/moira
Rein McCree Widow Brig?
Doom meta
CHILSAA
This actually would see play time for doom
Mei Reaper double shield imo
Yes but doom
That's weak
Okay, being serious here. It's just going to be more Mei/Reaper and some Doom.
Mei getting nerfed
justice is getting stomped
Mei nerfs won't impact her OWL usage imo, she's all about the ult + walls, rather than the primary freeze
Wait, Rein banned?
I'm tuning out next week.
Fuck
You do it by picking Sigma, Adriel.
Zarya unbanned but at what cost
OWL games on Thurs/Fri too? Lots of games
Like a true off-Tank.
Of course I know it will be sigma bruh
Doesn't matter anyway, I'll climb back, had such a back week with Zarya banned
Bad*
This hero pools are actually worse without seeing the draw
nori
Surprised Torb dodged a ban.
no US games on Sat/Sun this week, is it a holiday or something?
What do you mean?
the US based games are Thurs/Fri rather than Sat/Sun
Ah.
There’s a holiday next weekend???
No.
Then what’s the date changes?
Not a clue.
Maybe production struggling with 4 different shows over 2 days
Poor ANS, he pops off this week and now Widow/Mcree both banned
Cheesecake > Chocolate cake.
wait so doing a production entirely online is hard? nah couldn't be https://t.co/Wj10DD9kGV

Question: how does a new overwatch team get added to the league? What's that process look like? Can anyone just start a pro team? (i'm not trying to start one, im just curious how it works)
I think they want to stick with a max of twenty teams
but, historically, it involved a buy in of about 20 million at low end
probably some other things as well
right now there are just the existing franchised teams
However you can make any team for Open Dividion
Division*
4nd
That irks me
It's 4th not 4nd
Cool
Also Shock 7th??
That's surprisingly considering their loser bracket run in the play offs
That’s this seasons standings rn
Oof titans washed?
They got welcomed to China
They took a "dive" in the standings, by playing dive
I remember seeing somewhere they eventually wanted 28 teams
no not really
cause nth is annouced
they only said that they will not be adding teams in season 3
I think they shouldn't stop
