[silk frost]

it'll work better than that

[outer zenith]

Well, the "meta" didn't work. Will Houston stick to their guns or are we going to see them actually play what they know.

[neat canopy]

i dont think it will do better but it has more chance to get something

[silk frost]

their win condition is forcing dive

[neat canopy]

from what weve seen dive is meta but shock just wanna do shock things

[silk frost]

that's the only way they win

[neat canopy]

its alll theyve got yeah

very unlikely to work but only chance

[weak bolt]

I think they'd get more done with something like Sombra/Doom/Lucio/Moira/Rein/Sigma. Be mobile, have shields and push them hard

[neat canopy]

nah

dva is better against poke

[silk frost]

they should go winston d.va at that point

[neat canopy]

sigma gets FUCKED

[weak bolt]

Winston would just get shredded

[outer zenith]

You're forgetting, this is Muma we're talking about here.

[weak bolt]

Dives in? Stunned, Halted, burnt down

[neat canopy]

oh ok

[silk frost]

who stuns him

in that comp

[weak bolt]

Brig

[neat canopy]

muma: eviscerated

[silk frost]

muma's a smart winston he'd do well enough

except his ults

those are bad

[neat canopy]

brig is always played against dive in the mirror

he knows what to do

the stuns dont play in much

[outer zenith]

It's not a matter of if he'd do well enough. Rather, we KNOW what Muma won't do well on.

[neat canopy]

and also without meta and in a perfectly balanced game with players even too dive beats poke so you never know

lmao
harsha: muma is shit but hes houstons baby
harsha: orisa jail

[weak bolt]

Wonder how many Houston fans would love a Fissure signing

[outer zenith]

I know who wouldn't love it.

Fissure.

[weak bolt]

He might be ok playing along side Meko/Rapel/Jecse

DPS would be the issue I guess

[outer zenith]

Yeah.

Something to think about, I suppose.

[clear crane]

lol Fissue wud prob retire before going houston

[outer zenith]

It's just like how everyone was imagining what team Bumper was going to go to.

[clear crane]

I think its all korean team or bust

[weak bolt]

Ashe/Tracer time I guess

[clear crane]

Operation shut down Rascal

[weak bolt]

If they can shut down Rascal and keep Striker a bit more in check, they may be ok

lol at memeing on Kephrii

[clear crane]

wow

[outer zenith]

Focusing Beam.

[clear crane]

yea nerf that beam

holy crap

[outer zenith]

[weak bolt]

That beam is so going to be nerfed

[clear crane]

just make it fixed damage through all hp percentage

not freaking 200% under half health

[weak bolt]

I'd say either nerf it to 100% under half health and 200% vs shields, or make it any targets under 33%

[clear crane]

lmfaooooooo bap

i knew it!

[weak bolt]

lol wtf the window stays up too

[outer zenith]

I love Rascal tapping into his Flex Support roots.

[clear crane]

Do Zen next plz

[weak bolt]

I bet this game booms Linkzr and he retires in the next 2 weeks

[outer zenith]

Which Valorant team do you see him on?

[clear crane]

Moth on Zen? 😮

[weak bolt]

I'd imagine he'd just go streaming, but I guess depends how much money his houston contract is

[clear crane]

ahh we lost broadcasters

[cloud latch]

F

[outer zenith]

I await the inevitable TwitLonger.

[barren quest]

Casters died

[upper niche]

Did they just run two superchargers in a single Echo ult?!

Or did both Echos clone Orisa

[weak bolt]

Both echos cloned orisa

[upper niche]

Holy crap the number of Bongos going down.

[weak bolt]

I think Danteh earnt 2 bongos on Echo, not sure how many Rascal got

[wintry kraken]

i guess casters decided it is after 1AM in EU, so they need to be quiet

not to wake up any sleepers

[outer zenith]

Yeah. Hex didn't want to wake anyone up from their 4PM naps.

[upper niche]

So I'm hearing the whole of Vancouver Titans left?

[weak bolt]

Only Jjanu & head coach confirmed so far, but most rumours point towards whole team left & signing new NA based team

[upper niche]

Kellex left TD too.

It's all a bit of a shambles

[clear crane]

TD got a nice replacement

so at least we stable there

[upper niche]

It's more about the vast number of pro and T2 players/teams pulling the pin on OW overall.

[clear crane]

Vancouver just pulled nuk

Ah yea. enough to have Jon put out a public statement

lets see if they actually make any changes

[weak bolt]

I can't see Blizz investing much, maybe just a pool for community run tournaments or similar

[wintry kraken]

yes, i know all the "mental health" talk etc, but i think at least for now, many are making a mistake when they are jumping ship at such early stage of Valorant

but it's their money, so what do i know 🙂

[weak bolt]

Those jumping ship, 99% of them were not earning much/anything from OW anyway

Go to Valorant, hope you/stream pops off, and you become something good

[wintry kraken]

@weak bolt we talk about the pros leaving OWL

[ornate rose]

Lol u can't say that about sinatraa tho

[weak bolt]

Only 1 Pro has left OWL for Valorant so far

[wintry kraken]

"officially"

[weak bolt]

He was also a benched player this season as he'd lost interest in OW

[ornate rose]

Yea

[weak bolt]

Is the casting now a few seconds before the video?

[clear crane]

Is the audio fucked up?

yea ok

[wintry kraken]

youtube video in general desync's all the time (for me)

[clear crane]

refresh worked for me

[wintry kraken]

yeah, but refreshing every few minutes is annoying 🙂

stream does a dejavu and that pushes the audio out of sync by few hundred ms, repeat and after few "dejavu's" it is second or two off

[weak bolt]

The game audio seems ok to me, casters just seem 1s or 2s ahead to me

[clear crane]

yea they spoiling

[weak bolt]

Brig POTG lol, how

[clear crane]

o look its sinatraa

[weak bolt]

Rascal looks good on Echo, but we have to expect Chipsa will be 2x as good

[sweet shell]

Chipsa with best stats too

0 deaths

[idle beacon]

great coach job .. compensating the lost power of sinaatra

[balmy wolf]

Have the games today been good

[severe swallow]

LMAOOOOOOOOOO INUYASHA

"Wind Tunnel"

[weak bolt]

One match was a sweep, but ATL/LAV was pretty good

[severe swallow]

poor houston

[weak bolt]

This is winnable for houston at least

Although cloned bob > all

[severe swallow]

maybe

fuck imagine having Double Bob

[idle beacon]

1 match?

not 2 ??

nyxl vs shd and val vs reign ??

sweep matches

[weak bolt]

Didn't count the asian ones

[idle beacon]

lol

asian one?

dogman aint asian

[deep wolf]

this map is pretty poggers am i right my fellow peepos

[weak bolt]

Asian region games = The early morning games

[severe swallow]

you mean the ones at 3 am?

[weak bolt]

yeah

[severe swallow]

how dare

[deep wolf]

its 3am for me right now!

[severe swallow]

neat

[idle beacon]

u russian, trioxide?

[deep wolf]

finnish

[severe swallow]

oh

[deep wolf]

smh

[weak bolt]

lol 1am here too, but I consider these late night games, and the Asian region games as early morning

[severe swallow]

7 pm

[idle beacon]

wait .. finland is 1hour infront of the rest of europe?

[outer zenith]

Houston actually drew a map with that comp. That's a win to me.

[idle beacon]

like uk is 1hour behind?

[deep wolf]

i guess

[severe swallow]

makes sense

Then there's america which takes up like 4 timezones

[idle beacon]

usa is freakin large, dude

eu isnt

[severe swallow]

ye

[idle beacon]

.ru is large again asf

[deep wolf]

usa fat 😎

[idle beacon]

how many timezones do they have?

[severe swallow]

Russia lookin kinda thicc tho 😳

[idle beacon]

hahaha the commercial

YOOUUU AAARREEE .. NOOOOT

blablublu

xD

i love illidan

[severe swallow]

LOL

[idle beacon]

best antihero after logan

[weak bolt]

Hmm do I want to wake up at 9am on a Sunday to watch Dynasty vs Spark

[idle beacon]

yes

[severe swallow]

i like staying awake till 3 to watch my boys lose against Seoul

[weak bolt]

I'm just hoping NXYL get Chengdu'd

[severe swallow]

NXYL would crush HGS

[weak bolt]

NYXL did look strong for 2 maps today, and then really bad for the other 3

[severe swallow]

ye

[weak bolt]

I did love all the WhoRU, WhatRU jokes on the reddit

[raw ermine]

woah

moth zen

[weak bolt]

Moth popped off as Zen earlier lol, best NA flex support now 😄

[cloud latch]

what's the score?

[weak bolt]

2-0 SF, Map 4 atm

Rawkus in Narnia again lol

[outer zenith]

....

?

Do we dub that a B-9?

[weak bolt]

Bob is carrying

[clear crane]

Bob MVP

[sweet shell]

Wtf I thought shock lost that point lel

[weak bolt]

Rawkus just stands there with 10 hp with his back to bob lol

[true hound]

rawkus moments

Just play rape jecse smh

[weak bolt]

Jecse must play nearly 0 Zen I guess

[surreal stone]

The chat spam

[weak bolt]

Well if the pattern of the weekend continues, Dynasty vs HZS should be a 3-2 game, and then NYXL Chengdu a 3-0

[surreal stone]

Honestly, I have the feeling HZS are going to pull something off

Dunno what what I just have that feeling

[balmy wolf]

did reign seriously got reverse swept?

well decent games today

the NY vs Dragons was amazing to watch live

[weak bolt]

Atl got reverse swept yeah

[tropic herald]

Stan LeeJaeGon

[weak bolt]

LAV adapted to the comp at half time, and then ATL just kept trying to do it

[balmy wolf]

oh and seoul got dumped on so hard

their loss against charge was the fastest game in OWL history

[tropic herald]

Faster than even the Boston Florida one?

[barren quest]

Lol there's another Boston vs Florida match tommorow

[upper niche]

WTF is this Reinforce having like a 3 second delay and Moth having none 😄

[balmy wolf]

does anyone know when the all star weekend begin this year???

[raw ermine]

At the end of the season

[raw ermine]

Hopefully Kruise can help toronto do well against LAG

[silk frost]

Decay needs a k/d for 4.7 for them to win

[raw ermine]

only 6 pulse kills?

still really good stats but that's not per 10

[silk frost]

given that he stuck a LOT of zaryas with personal

[tropic herald]

LeeJaeGon for rookie of the year

[outer zenith]

"My most proudest achievement in life, is that I've played as many OWL games as ChipSa, a professional OWL player."

[tropic herald]

And Avast

[idle beacon]

question: watching nyxl vs shd .. some broadcaster was saying that nyxl was facing the first non-NA team. what did he mean?

i thought all teams are in NA ?

AND .. SHD 9-1 now. when did they start dominating the season? 😮

[tropic herald]

For a while now

[idle beacon]

what season did they win again?

s2 ?

[gaunt acorn]

@idle beacon they won the season 2 stage 3 title

not a full season

[idle beacon]

ah yea now i remember

they won a stage

and fell again

but they dominate season3 since it started?

@gaunt acorn

[gaunt acorn]

they've been an upper-tier team, yes

'dominant' is far more subjective

[idle beacon]

aren't they on spot1?

9 wins, 1 loss

and well, not dominating but being top notch atm

[gaunt acorn]

the rankings don't paint the full picture since some teams have played way more than others

but yes they have been especially good this season

[idle beacon]

were there alot of lineup changes in shd?

i can't remember the s2st3 lineup atm

wait

FLETA @ SHD ???

why didnt he play vs nyxl. he is a strong dps player if i remember correctly. being a strong pharah and a proper widow in dynasty. no?

[supple prism]

also there is a serious amount of rematches since a lot of teams cant play each other

[idle beacon]

what do you mean?

[supple prism]

Lag

[balmy wolf]

[sullen berry]

@idle beacon they flipped the schedule since home stands have been cancelled. Teams have been split by location and playing matches with each other more in the past few weeks

So it's impossible to see a matchuo between San Francisco shock vs shanghai dragon in the regular season

Regionally Asia division is now 7 teams

NA 13

[idle beacon]

so i did understand it correctly when a broadcaster was talking about nyxl playing against an asian team

then again, i thought they all are in the usa, in appartments or team houses?

[upper niche]

Most of the players went back to Korea for various reasons - visits, visas etc. And then found it hard to travel back and forth between the US.

They were there for the early matches being scheduled there.

[idle beacon]

damn

too bad

what about europeans?

being back in europe?

[upper niche]

I think you may over-estimate how many European citizens are actually participating in OWL.

[idle beacon]

atleast 10

[upper niche]

Exactly. And youy'd be lucky to have >1 on any one team

[idle beacon]

is soon and .. what was his mate's name .. unkoe .. in france or still in the us ?

[sullen berry]

Smh

Now let's start from your first question

i thought they all are in the usa, in appartments or team houses?
@idle beacon
Team houses aren't really an option if your home base is in China, but GZC/HZS/SHD players are mostly from Korea

Chengdu is the only team in China because their roster is 100% chinese/taiwanese

All I know is that Charge are cooped up in a hotel together and have been doing fairly well as of recent: ||taken out Vancouver 3-0 and Seoul 3-0|| given their setup is a bunch of rented out desktops

I think Vancouver's stint in Korea was a failure, as most of the players seem to be under a lot of stress and we're responsible for their setup without any training facilities

atleast 10
@idle beacon there's actually two European teams in the OW League.

[idle beacon]

2?

soon and unkoe you're thinking of, right?

f

ksp is also an eu player

[sullen berry]

EU players, got it

https://liquipedia.net/overwatch/Overwatch_League/Season_3/Regular_Season

[idle beacon]

what did you understand with european?

ye i am there

poko also french

[sullen berry]

20 players if your talking EU reps

At the bottom of the page you see there

@upper niche just checking did you estimate based off France and the smaller countries? Turns out there still is 20 players before you exclude any leavers midseason

[idle beacon]

the EU players. are some of them also back home or still in the US ?

[severe swallow]

I know is gonna win but GO

also I got my BEENS

[idle gorge]

What is this may tournament thing

[severe swallow]

Stinky beans but they'll do

They're Qualification matches

[idle gorge]

For what

[severe swallow]

The May Tourney

[balmy wolf]

Morning Morning

[idle gorge]

So this isn’t for the normal competition

[severe swallow]

Mornin

It

It is

[balmy wolf]

so Marve1’s not playing

they realized it wasn’t working out with him on the Dva much

[severe swallow]

Oof

McCree's out again so I think Godsb will default to Hansbow

[balmy wolf]

[severe swallow]

GOD DAMMIT I FORGOT HOW AWFUL THE FRENCH VANILLA IS

MISTAKES WERE MADE AND I'LL HAVE TO WASH IT DOWN WITH APPLE WATER

But maybe i'll find better beans

🤔

[balmy wolf]

it really is awful

[severe swallow]

?

Lineup or french vanilla?

[balmy wolf]

French Vanilla coffee, it’s pretty bad

[severe swallow]

depends

I had some that was GODLY

And the K cups I have lying around are stinky

[balmy wolf]

lol

[severe swallow]

I'll find some better cup during the intermission

oh yeah!

oof

[balmy wolf]

I wonder what this Sombra/Echo is all about. I didn’t expect the two to have much synergy

[severe swallow]

Double scout

That's what I can gather

FUCK YEAH MAKE ME PROUDER BOYS!

c9?

CUZ MY BOYS SCORED!

[balmy wolf]

Echo players are probably practicing playing main tank just so they can do better with that duplicate

[severe swallow]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

You right though

anyway I git (Hopefully) Better beans

[balmy wolf]

Did Bdosin just get solo EMP’d

lel

[severe swallow]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[balmy wolf]

well shit....

[severe swallow]

TAKIN THE W!!!

YO FUCK YEAH THESE BEANS TASTE FUCKIN A

Lmao these goons

AND POINT 2 GOES TO HANGZHOU!!!

Wait Charge what were you gonna say?

[balmy wolf]

Mercy’s banned this week but I wonder if she’d be run in this comp, and over who?

[severe swallow]

fidk

[balmy wolf]

Lucio/Mercy doesn’t seem very reliable, Zen/Mercy doesn’t have much AOE healing, and Brig/Mercy... it’d be unusual

[severe swallow]

Tom jones intensifies

[vernal ruin]

I mean if the sombra can prioritize hacking a nearby health pack then the damage amp could maybe be viable on the echo

[severe swallow]

ye

[balmy wolf]

Ana/Mercy could work

like how they do when Pharah is played

[vernal ruin]

Pair that with discord orb and focusing beam and it seems pretty powerful to use on tanks

Oh yeah that as well

[severe swallow]

damn ye

[vernal ruin]

I've always wondered why zarya isn't played tho?

Like grav sticky bombs is stupid strong

And the bubble can let echo get her ult (in duplicated form) with more aggression

[balmy wolf]

You’d wanna play her with a Reinhardt, which doesn’t go too well with Echo

HOLY SHIT

[severe swallow]

THANK YOU THOUGHT

[vernal ruin]

I Love Guxue

[severe swallow]

Gux is bae

[vernal ruin]

He's the funniest Winston to watch by far

[severe swallow]

but DAMN, IS HANGZHOU GONNA BEAT SEOUL??

Wait what?

[vernal ruin]

Did u see him RKA profit midair?

I thought he was gonna focus the backline

Nah

Props Primal and launches himself at the echo

[balmy wolf]

[sullen berry]

Okay gang

Looks like this is going to be an early night

3-0verwatch returns in 60 seconds

[severe swallow]

mayhaps

I'm still reeling about the Spark beating Seoul 3 nothing

[sullen berry]

Yeah it's a wild time to be jumping into this season

New hero and causing meta shifts? Imagine that

[severe swallow]

Totally new

[sullen berry]

And the people screaming her ability is OP on live are being drowned out

Because these matches are looking pretty entertaining

[severe swallow]

YE

I mean I can't complain

[sullen berry]

Ashe got little to no play time when she made it to live start of season 2

[severe swallow]

true

Sig got how much?

[sullen berry]

The meta didn't require her at a time when hero pool was a thirsty request to stop goats

Sig had plenty of stage time

[severe swallow]

and the OW team did exactly that

[sullen berry]

He was a major player in the playoffs

So it's no surprise I'm seeing signs of teams unable to work Echo's kit into their team

[severe swallow]

And they're doing dan fine

damn*

[sullen berry]

Chengdu 3-0verwatch

[severe swallow]

lmao

also I spilt my BEANS

im a bit angy

Anyone here also map Lucio's Crossfade to the mouse wheel?

[hot heart]

@vernal ruin its alright you said what everyone was thinking

[cloud latch]

what's up with seoul?

[barren quest]

Seoul keeps using the same comp that doesn't work

Profit isn't very good on the Echo

And the coordination is just lacking

[vernal ruin]

Well he's not the worst at echo... he just struggles with tanks a little...

[lyric cliff]

A little

[zenith bay]

Sinaatra is gonna kill OWL

[sullen berry]

Put it in the twitter translation machine

He's wrapping up 4 years of overwatch and retiring to do what you think he's doing

[raw ermine]

it says he is "going on to another sport" so prob valorant but idk

[sullen berry]

Military service being is way out and not returning to pro gaming for a while

[raw ermine]

it was a translation again

[sullen berry]

Sounds like a pretty distinct miscommunication error

One is "I'm quitting overwatch after 4 years to focus on mandatory military service"

[raw ermine]

ahhh

[sullen berry]

The org is definitely saying something else hmmmmm

Look Nus should have asked if he could join Seoul Dynasty for one last shot

Because nobody can explain why Profit has not looked so great or if it was anything to do with gesture / bdosin from spitfire looking scuffed this weekend with a new hero

[digital cloud]

any predictions for the second half today?

[barren quest]

Florida 3-0s Boston again

[cloud latch]

fusion vs paris 3-0
florida vs boston 3-0
toronto vs gladiators 1-3

[digital cloud]

about what I was thinking

[grave sail]

hopefully chipsa echo today

i doubt it tho

[digital cloud]

hopefully they play one of their good players as echo

like EQO

[grave sail]

eqo has probably been grinding echo as ivy has cemented his place as the teams mei

[tropic herald]

ChipSa Echo

Carpe overrated

Eqo outdated

Long have we waited

ChipSa activated

[digital cloud]

cough he is on the team due to nepotism cough

[sullen berry]

Do you really expect the scores to hold up after what you've just seen from Asia matches?

[digital cloud]

well

Asia is Asia

this is Murica

[sullen berry]

Fusion v Eternal is the hardest to predict of the three

The other two? Could be a toss up once we see their echo play

[brittle compass]

Why is sinatraa 7th place NA if he quit overwatch

[digital cloud]

I don't think Fusion is going to let themselves lose after that one time

and the rest is just based off of

it is Boston

[sullen berry]

If Colourhex on echo is no good, Uprising is unsalvageable for the rest of the season

[digital cloud]

Blase?

he is on Houston

Toronto is also pretty bad right now

so, I don't see them beating Glads

[sullen berry]

Kruise won't be much help but surefour probably

[brittle compass]

Does anyone know?

[digital cloud]

know what?

[raw ermine]

it's a fake account

[brittle compass]

Ah

[raw ermine]

I think one of the other SFS members made it

I saw smurf using one

[swift moth]

wait so kruise isn't on toronto?

[raw ermine]

Why wouldn't he be

[swift moth]

you said fake account

[raw ermine]

The sinatraa in top 500 was

nothing to do with Kruise

[swift moth]

ah

[sullen berry]

Why is sinatraa 7th place NA if he quit overwatch
@brittle compass okay where did you find that start?

You lost me until I found your original question

[brittle compass]

Go onto the leader boards

The account is 7th place

[sullen berry]

Oh I see

[brittle compass]

Diamond in levels so it’s the real one

I think he gave it to his teammates or something

[sullen berry]

That's account sharing

[brittle compass]

and Choi’s isn’t in the top500

[sullen berry]

Which has been very hit and miss on who gets fined tbh

[digital cloud]

isn't smurfing also supposed to be something they don't do?

and yet everyone knows they do

[sullen berry]

Blizzard's position on smurfing is there should be no problem

[brittle compass]

I love how there’s normal names

And then people in top 200 named feet lover

Because they would be matched up with the right players

[digital cloud]

do they not know about throwing?

[brittle compass]

Juul420

[sullen berry]

Can't be SR manipulation if its just a low level account

Their matches should be in line with players at their rank eventually

So that forum post from Jeff Kaplan hasn't aged well

[digital cloud]

they never thought, "hmm, I wonder if they will try to stay in low ranks intentionally"?

[sullen berry]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/64ru7u/jeff_kaplan_talks_about_smurfing/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Surely not, we need the sales from people making multiple accounts - does this look like an MMORPG?

[digital cloud]

what he described isn't smurfing, it is leveling up an alt account

there are most definitely gms stomping on lower rank

ranks*

I hear it happens a ton in diamond and masters

[sullen berry]

You can't dodge the topic any better than this though

He addressed a specific definition of Smurfing

And stuck with it

[digital cloud]

like, I am pretty sure I hardly ever run into smurfs

maybe once or twice, but I am in gold

I doubt they get too much fun from destroying us

diamond and masters, though, I am told is filled with it

[swift moth]

I moved to pc like half a year ago, and am farely skilled on characters that require game sense over mechanical skill

got a lot of accusations when in reality this was my first pc account

probably the account being named sleepy didn't help

I feel like tho there is a distinction between alt and smurf that people don't keep in mind. on ps4 I had an alt that I used to teach myself dps, becuase I wasn't able to play it at my sr

[hexed summit]

is ryujehong dying his hair the color of the french flag a sign or is it just a coincidence

[echo quest]

@brittle compass the actual Sinatraa is 4300

It’s not him

[digital cloud]

I mean, smurfs don't affect me personally, I think, but I know some people enjoy throwing games to stomp on the low ranks

I don't know how to fix that other than reporting, but the other stuff, if they are just trying to alt account to gm or whatever, that is normal

rjh wearing titans jersey on stream... https://www.twitch.tv/wpghd321

[digital cloud]

he is mocking us

[rare magnet]

i dont know what is means

[zenith bay]

whats wrong he likes the team

yeah hes trasnfered

but still

[rare magnet]

hes not officially transferred

[digital cloud]

I mean, there is so much speculation the team is falling apart

this suggests to me he is having a bit of fun with the speculation

[rotund sail]

Alarm invented the M2 button

[ornate rose]

[outer zenith]

Provided they find a way to overcome the regional isolation of the teams thanks to the crisis, the plan is, and always was, to eventually have all teams play one another in the regular season. That's how a League with Divisions works, and that's exactly how it worked last season.

[idle beacon]

ooh this is sort of a rematch / revenge match for phili? 😄

[sullen berry]

^

[idle beacon]

eternal won 3-2 over phili in march

[sullen berry]

It's a trilogy now

Eqo having playtime warms my heart <3

philly vs paris is sort of a rivalry

[idle beacon]

[rotund sail]
