bad

idle beacon
#

and. .. i totally dont like stratus emps ..

clear crane
#

This is prob Titan's easiest game

#

even wen they have more time to gel

balmy wolf
#

a variety of players from different teams

#

no Koreans as well

idle beacon
#

so usa/can only?

balmy wolf
#

seems that way

idle beacon
#

not bad

weak bolt
#

All English speaking players

static bluff
#

I'm a Titans fan now, only direction is up!

balmy wolf
#

after quarantine they might get some Koreans

clear crane
#

KSA is saudi i think

balmy wolf
#

but the location issues were part of the reason why the Titians fell apart

rapid locust
#

yes

weak bolt
#

KSA is Saudi/CAN duel citizenship I think, so he should have no issues

idle beacon
#

i had some weird blackscreen/whitescreen fk up before this round. you all aswell?

clear crane
#

ahh no idea

idle beacon
#

i wonder if its my connection or if it actually was on yt's end

static bluff
#

nothing makes sense!

weak bolt
#

The feed was down for about 2 mins between map 1 and 2

static bluff
#

I kinda love it

idle beacon
#

ok thx errorr

balmy wolf
#

i like it when maps arent completed

outer zenith
#

Good hold.

balmy wolf
#

even in my comp games

#

like you already lost if you complete the match with 0 seconds and them with 4 minutes or 3

idle beacon
#

again a dumb emp there

#

wtf

weak bolt
#

He EMP'ed both supports and got the kills, how was that dumb?

outer zenith
#

And here I was convinced coming into this week that we'd get nothing but Double Shield comps. Feels good to be wrong.

idle beacon
#

i only saw 1

#

didnt see he got 2 or more

clear crane
#

he got both

weak bolt
#

He got both and they died, just Justice were also EMP'ed so the tanks survived on point for Titans

idle beacon
#

i miss SHD emps

rapid locust
#

yeah, even the bad dive games are more entertaining then the average double shield matches

clear crane
#

No pulse bombs allowed today

weak bolt
#

Justice are a bit screwed that they have no real hitscan, Ttuba looks iffy

clear crane
#

ok that emp didnt look neccessary

outer zenith
#

May as well unbind Pulse at this point.

idle beacon
#

no real hitscan? what happened?

weak bolt
#

Corey retired

idle beacon
#

lemmeh guess

#

for Valorant?

weak bolt
#

yes

idle beacon
#

bwahahaaaa

clear crane
#

Valorant is his wheel house

static bluff
#

Valorant is a deadgame

weak bolt
#

Hot take, but Corey hasn't looked good all season anyway, so if Justice can get a replacement who's willing to work hard, it could be good for them

outer zenith
#

Not exactly scalding, but yeah. I agree.

idle beacon
#

lol another pulse eaten 😄

clear crane
#

nom nom nom

idle beacon
#

stream fk up again?

outer zenith
#

Yes.

idle beacon
#

ohboi

outer zenith
#

YouTube is clearly having issues today.

clear crane
#

this is so bad....

static bluff
#

Too busy censoring videos

weak bolt
#

Even Youtube doesn't want to watch this game

balmy wolf
#

OWl has been a nightmare to watch this season , it's always having issues

weak bolt
#

Stratus just lost his EMP

clear crane
#

Washington completely threw that

#

or just Roar

weak bolt
#

He got EMP'ed mid cast and lost that. Roar was doing a muma and visiting Narnia mid game

outer zenith
#

Good Winston bubble.

raw ermine
#

yikes

clear crane
#

pepesad 😦

#

Titans next 2 games are against Mayhem and Fusion

outer zenith
#

This is close.

true hound
#

Doing a muma lmao

idle beacon
#

visiting narnia? lol what? xD

clear crane
#

Chipsa might play that game

#

against Titans

outer zenith
#

Yep. And Bumper will make his return as well.

weak bolt
#

If you were Philly, would you really risk losing against a contenders team by playing Chipsa?

#

I'd be making sure I 100% won that game :p

clear crane
#

Go up 2-0

#

den play him

#

But if WJ 3-0 them, I can see a team not wanting to be the first one to drop a map

idle beacon
#

what did i miss? why so many chipsa jokes?

rapid locust
#

can owl switch back to twitch, or is the chat just spamming?

clear crane
#

chat is being stupid

#

Chipsa is the Scalabrine of OWL

weak bolt
#

Spam this Witch to Return to Twitch

clear crane
#

or Adam Morrison. whichever you prefer

static bluff
#

Jeff Bezos doesn't need anymore money

idle beacon
#

sry .. but i also dont know what was going on with Scalabrine 😄

weak bolt
#

All those in YT chat spamming for twitch are the same people who just spam POGGERS and KEKW constantly in twitch chat all game long

clear crane
#

basically permabenched

static bluff
#

The Mercy Nano was dredful

clear crane
#

pft high ping. excuses. Look at Fielder 😛

static bluff
#

Highest level of Overwatch, still blames ping

weak bolt
#

More likely just a misclick, only human

clear crane
#

oh yea Tsuna is french

idle beacon
#

what a stupid commercial xD

#

ima install knight hood now

clear crane
#

which one

#

the heyward?

idle beacon
#

the one i just saw

clear crane
#

i wonder how much they pay heyward for it lol

static bluff
#

What is a Heyward?

clear crane
#

some guy who makes too much money haha

idle beacon
#

did that rogue (undead) just had a Xal'atath in his hands?

#

omg stream laggin again

digital cloud
#

it does that pretty often

static bluff
#

Imma go spam the witch in the chat cya

weak bolt
#

Aimgod is being farmed hard

digital cloud
#

dalton is pretty good, so he will have to be careful

rapid locust
#

i'm not sure if dalton is good more than he is an unknown.

digital cloud
#

he is decent, certainly

weak bolt
#

Dalton is highly rated by quite a few current OWL players

digital cloud
#

maybe not on the level of some other tracers

#

wasn't aware of that

#

I just knew many consider him to be good

weak bolt
#

He was on the Toronto Esports team with a lot of OWL players, like Kruise, Colorhex, Axxiom etc

clear crane
#

hmmm

#

can this team beat boston

digital cloud
#

I would bet

#

they do need time to acclimate, though, I would say

#

they didn't get the kind of prep that Runaway did

rapid locust
#

I think they could beat boston

outer zenith
#

They haven't had the kind of prep that any of the other teams have.

weak bolt
#

I think Titans vs Boston would be whichever team wants to throw harder, rather than any team being better

clear crane
#

aimgod is so good at dogding those emps with fade

outer zenith
#

And yet they are making this tough on Justice. Yes, a Justice without Corey, but even so.

#

I'm impressed.

weak bolt
#

Justice need players as much if not more than Boston now

clear crane
#

I would think say Boston might be in a better position den WJ right now

#

They have some carry potential. I see none for WJ rn

balmy wolf
#

Where is NYXL playing from?

weak bolt
#

Korea @balmy wolf

balmy wolf
#

Where is Seoul playing from?

weak bolt
#

Korea

balmy wolf
#

Korea?

#

Okay

rapid locust
#

i don't which is better for titans in this matchup, their skill or their proximity to spawn

balmy wolf
#

Slime might go to either of those two

weak bolt
#

Slime to NYXL would be really nice, but I suspect it'll be Dynasty

outer zenith
#

They need a player, but so do many other teams. Half the league is reorganizing in some way, shape, or form. Justice aren't in that bad of a spot in the grand scheme of things.

rapid locust
#

slime left titans right? why would he go back

weak bolt
#

Justice have 1 dps after this game, that's a bad spot :p

balmy wolf
#

I would love to see slime and twilight picked up to be reunited

rapid locust
#

yes

balmy wolf
#

none of the titans are going to Washington

outer zenith
#

One DPS, but it won't take much to find someone to fill it.

balmy wolf
#

They are NA

clear crane
#

LMFAOOOOO

outer zenith
rapid locust
#

they're soo bad

balmy wolf
#

The titans have two players on high ping

#

KSAA is on 200+ ping

#

Tsuna on 110+ ping

outer zenith
#

KSAA is playing from SA?

balmy wolf
#

Yeah

clear crane
#

wtf

outer zenith
#

All the more reason to be impressed with this Titan's showing.

rapid locust
#

I don't think KSAA's ping is constant 200+. he was eating tracer ults before

outer zenith
#

I mean, if his ping is alternating, then that's worse.

rapid locust
#

that was a nice stick

clear crane
#

oh noooooo

outer zenith
#

If Justice play this right, this is over.

clear crane
#

Supports getting isolated hard

rapid locust
#

I think its over

clear crane
#

i think its over

outer zenith
#

Barring a HUGE mistake from Justice.

clear crane
#

but i can see justice doing somethign dumb

weak bolt
#

This is Justice, it's never over till the end 😄

clear crane
#

Titans shud win this fight

outer zenith
#

Chalk one up for the "HUGE mistake" counter.

clear crane
#

lmfaooo ripppppppppppppp

weak bolt
#

Stratus died late on the 2nd to last fight so they couldn't get a good EMP setup

idle beacon
#

whats the next match:?

vale pond
#

reverse sweep reverse sweep

tropic herald
weak bolt
#

Houston vs ATL next

idle beacon
#

ty

#

is that the last one for 2day?

tropic herald
#

Yes

clear crane
#

No

idle beacon
#

oh val vs boston

clear crane
#

Valiant vs Boston

idle beacon
#

will prolly be boring

tropic herald
#

Wait

#

There’s more today????

weak bolt
#

4 today yeah

idle beacon
#

7 matches

tropic herald
#

Jeez

#

That’s a record

weak bolt
#

All 20 teams play this weekend

#

they need to make up the matches missed asap

idle beacon
#

2 or 3 this morning

vale pond
#

Hopefully atl stops being stupid

clear crane
#

i thought it was for this tourney

tropic herald
#

Atlanta should sweep Houston

#

Then again Muma can play Winston sooo

weak bolt
#

ATL should stomp Houston 3-0 in theory, it's a double shield meta week that they can play

vale pond
#

They were supposed to beat valiant

digital cloud
#

but they have been inconsistent so

vale pond
#

But you know

ornate rose
#

I come to watch the stream and see justice is up 2-1. How?

vale pond
#

The coaches cant decide who to play

static bluff
#

scuffedist in the universe

vale pond
#

Just put babybay/edison and erster in and play double shield/brawl every game and you become a top 3 team

#

Its not hard

outer zenith
#

@ornate rose Are you aware that this is a brand new Titans roster?

digital cloud
#

and ditch dogman for kodak

idle beacon
#

think not that he is

digital cloud
#

and also, not use babybay

vale pond
#

Dogman wasnt the problem last game

#

Babybay has performed better than edison overal

digital cloud
#

he was when Alarm walked all over him

idle beacon
#

kodak is the german bruh, right?

weak bolt
#

ATL suck at anything that isn't double shield. That is their main issue

vale pond
#

They play brawl well

ornate rose
#

Yea but still @outer zenith

digital cloud
#

no, they would be good at brawl too if they just never used pokpo

vale pond
#

But the coaches tried to force zarya winston dive

digital cloud
#

gator is a decent Rein as well as orisa and winston

weak bolt
#

Brawl without lucio maybe, they're not good at quick tempo setups

digital cloud
#

and sigma

tropic herald
#

In what world would Alarm not walk over Dogman?

digital cloud
#

that is my point

outer zenith
#

@ornate rose Oh. So you're just that down on Justice, eh?

idle beacon
#

in this world

outer zenith
vale pond
#

Dogman played best of the team last game lol

digital cloud
#

they need to use someone with more a chance than dogman

vale pond
#

Ironically

#

Dogman is meh but not the sole reason they are losing games

digital cloud
#

that doesn't mean he always does

ornate rose
#

Nah just thought that Titans would be beating justice @outer zenith

vale pond
#

Kodak is worse

digital cloud
#

he doesn't

#

no, Kodak is better

idle beacon
#

@vale pond u racist

digital cloud
#

one of them popped off it contenders

vale pond
#

What?

digital cloud
#

the other is dogman

idle beacon
#

just because he's black?

vale pond
#

Bruh

digital cloud
#

in*

tropic herald
#

I assume that Dogman is somewhat of a team spirit to rally behind

clear crane
#

uhhhh where did this come from

vale pond
#

@digital cloud yes bc its contenders on atl academy

weak bolt
#

Dogman can either be great or he can feed. When he's not feeding, he's better than Kodak

vale pond
#

dogman had reportedly better comms too

ornate rose
#

All good tho, idrc which team wins. I'm from Philly so fusion fan here PhiladelphiaFusion @outer zenith

vale pond
#

and matches the more aggressive playstyle

#

kodak is too passive and quiet

wintry kraken
#

5 players and one gigantic forehead LOL. Poor Sideshow

tropic herald
#

Yeah

#

Gator and Hawk are aggro

digital cloud
#

you think atl academy could have done that well if kodak was bad

idle beacon
#

how do ya'll know how active someone is in voice??

tropic herald
#

So is Dogman

outer zenith
#

@ornate rose I hear ya. I will say though, this new Titans squad has shown that they aren't that bad. It's been close.

tropic herald
#

@idle beacon Dogman yelled time the crowd during matches

#

KRUISE IS A FEEDER

digital cloud
#

if dogman could actually show competence in his aggro, then I would be inclined to view him in a better light

weak bolt
#

Players often talk about things in interviews/streams, that's where majority of info comes from

nimble dagger
#

vancouver is a midle of the pack team

vale pond
#

No there was talks on the team that dogman commed a lot

#

I can try to find the clip

idle beacon
#

well that doesn't proof that kodak is not communicative ^^

vale pond
#

Its more of a dogman is more

#

Also shotcalling and rallying

tropic herald
#

If this match wasn’t so soon after Titans made a new roster I would guarantee that Titans would’ve stomped Justice

clear crane
#

Vancouver is middle?

tropic herald
#

That’s how low I think of the justice

clear crane
#

I think thats a reach

vale pond
#

the titans have potential to be a solid midtable team

outer zenith
#

Way too soon to say anything.

vale pond
#

dalton and ksaa are nuts

tropic herald
#

Titans have the SW coaches

weak bolt
#

Predicting anything on a roster that's like 1 week old is dumb lol

tropic herald
#

They could definitely be middle of the pack

clear crane
#

Success in Contenders doesnt always translate

tropic herald
#

Remember, good coaches means good teams

#

Valiant and Paris looking at you

outer zenith
#

All I can say about what I've seen of the Titans thus far is that they've exceeded my expectations. Which is more than good enough.

vale pond
#

Yeah honestly

#

Them winning a map is a victory itself

tropic herald
#

When you remember that KSAA is in Saudi Arabia

weak bolt
#

I'd say we'll know more after their match tomorrow. Florida are arguably a middle of the pack team and will prove a more suitable opponent

outer zenith
#

Mmhm.

tropic herald
#

I don’t think either of these matches should be used to judge the new titans roster

weak bolt
#

Justice are 2-9 all season and without their top dps, can hardly use them as a judge

vale pond
#

Reminder that this is dalton and ksaa on 200 ping

digital cloud
#

with how recently they got together, I don't think they can beat a middle team rn

#

later though?

weak bolt
#

Dalton is normal ping, Tsuna is 110 ish from France

digital cloud
#

absolutely

vale pond
#

Oh wait mixed them up

#

still

outer zenith
#

KSAA is the one with 200 ping.

tropic herald
#

The only thing I’d take from this match is how pepega justice are

idle beacon
#

ksaa not in canada?

weak bolt
#

We also have no idea what Titans are going to be like at other comps. If Dalton isn't on tracer is he useless?

tropic herald
#

Dalton has a good widow and Cree irrv

idle beacon
#

irrv ?

tropic herald
#

Iirc

#

Idk why it changed

idle beacon
#

ah 🙂

weak bolt
#

Aimgod faded emp again, jeez

idle beacon
#

imagine callin urself aimgod

#

and then be on an autoaim hero xD

weak bolt
#

Aimgod does have ridiculous aim, his Zen is pretty lethal

tropic herald
#

His mechanics are good

idle beacon
#

ye just saying.. a bit funny 😄

clear crane
#

Aimgod prob is one of the better mechnical players

tropic herald
#

But his gamesense lacks otherwise

#

I’ve seen him frontline on ana in OwL matches

idle beacon
#

lol?

weak bolt
#

Meant to be some Moira changes coming to exprimental soon, could see some big changes

tropic herald
#

Global support changes

#

Less heals more support

idle beacon
#

right mouse button being static, like zarya / symmetra's beam

#

would be a proper change

#

making it harder

clear crane
#

Genji 😮

#

aw just a tease 😦

idle beacon
#

tracer needs 200hp .. 150 normal hp and 50 armor / shield

outer zenith
#

Ryujin-no-kae that ass back to spawn.

clear crane
#

wow

weak bolt
#

Tracer doesn't need more HP lol, get out

outer zenith
clear crane
#

I love Aimgod Ana

idle beacon
#

250hp tracer .. i demand it, errorr

tropic herald
#

If you want tracer to have more hp

#

Uh

#

No

idle beacon
#

im kidding. come on 😄

weak bolt
#

They had to create a whole hero to stop Tracer's dominance, lets not return to that

outer zenith
#

Who's got the hammer?

#

And don't worry, cause I ain't kiddin...

upper niche
#

lol, so about all those Contenders teams who are saying "We should be in OWL"...

outer zenith
idle beacon
#

They had to create a whole hero to stop Tracer's dominance, lets not return to that
@weak bolt what? .. mccree has been there from the beginning

tropic herald
#

@upper niche this isn’t a contenders team...

#

It’s part of one with a few randoms

idle beacon
#

brig is no threat against a good tracer

clear crane
#

wut

idle beacon
#

not anymore

clear crane
#

fair

ornate rose
#

Ggs

tropic herald
#

I’d guarantee if SW or TI or Doge got picked up as a full team they’d be middle of the pack minimum

outer zenith
#

Good game.

weak bolt
#

Brig made tracer irrelevant for like a year until they nerfed her tons. She's still a soft counter

clear crane
#

Hard to gurantee anything. We seen teams come in as full before and just fell flat

tropic herald
#

Also, judging a team off their performance after their roster has only been together a few days and multiple players are playing on high ping

#

Kinda yikes

weak bolt
#

Do Doge actually have coaches at the moment, or are they just a team of players?

idle beacon
#

why high ping? they're all in the states, i thought?

tropic herald
#

Tsuna is EU

#

KSAA is Saudi Arabia

idle beacon
#

that sucks

weak bolt
#

I think its fair to assume that they pick up SW because of the coaches as well as the players

clear crane
#

Blizzard should seriously just pump more money into Contenders

outer zenith
#

I'm excited for the Titan's lineup. It's so fortunate that the team is only 5 games into their season. Lot's of games left for the team to jell.

idle beacon
#

5 maps?

#

4 you mean

#

?

tropic herald
#

I think if all the players were in the states and had at least a week they would’ve taken Justice out

outer zenith
#

This was their 5th.

weak bolt
#

Titan's definitely have the potential to climb this season yep, especially if the org is willing to sign more players

idle beacon
#

what was the first?

clear crane
#

hes saying the team as a whole

#

every team will theoretically play the same amount of games. so this team has more games to play together

tropic herald
#

I hope Titans pick up someone like Zykk maybe

#

That’d be nice for them

weak bolt
#

SW Coaches had a good reputation for finding/recruiting players. If the org gives them the ability to keep doing that, Titans could build up nicely

idle beacon
#

they played actually well

tropic herald
#

True

idle beacon
#

for their first match and no weeks of practice as a team

tropic herald
#

SW coaches have proven they have what it takes to make OWL talent

weak bolt
#

But from what we've heard of the Titans org, I'm not putting much faith into it

idle beacon
#

SW ?

tropic herald
#

Second Wind

weak bolt
#

Second Wind are where a large amount of the Titans players came from, and their whole coaching setup

tropic herald
#

Wait

#

I think SW has the most players that have made OWL let me check

clear crane
#

?

weak bolt
#

Nah, only Im37 before this I think

clear crane
#

The only one I recall big from SW is Mirror

weak bolt
#

But a lot of Academy teams poached from SW

idle beacon
#

oh they also took 3 coaches from SW

#

okay

tropic herald
#

10

idle beacon
#

if they keep that up, they'll perform even better in future

#

looked promising

tropic herald
#

10 OWL players have been part of SW

clear crane
#

Theres def other teams with more

outer zenith
#

At least Stratus gets to go out on top. Well, the top of the bottom I suppose.

idle beacon
#

soe looking old af .. like some mature milf

#

lol.. dude was streaming while playing an OWL match?

#

imagine stratus with soe's voice

outer zenith
#

Now here's the real question: With all of these recent retirees, who's coming back first?

idle beacon
#

what?

#

none

#

even if valorant will fail

#

they won't come back

outer zenith
#

Someone is coming back. Mark my words.

idle beacon
#

they left OWL because being fkn fedup with it

weak bolt
#

I'd guess Greyy or Hyp if any

outer zenith
#

If Overwatch has a 4th season, someone will.

clear crane
#

they will have a 4th season

outer zenith
#

That's just how it goes.

clear crane
#

too much money already dumped

#

and covid is like a freebie pass

idle beacon
#

if i'd leave the OWL for valorant and valorant would fail, i'd go full cs:go

weak bolt
#

If the T2 keeps being dumpsters, retired players will be able to just walk into OWL teams

outer zenith
#

Agreed on all fronts. I put the "if" in there to be thorough.

idle beacon
#

now watch the commercial

weak bolt
#

We've only had like 2 players say they're going to Valorant anyway? Corey/Sinatraa

idle beacon
#

damn

#

wrong one

clear crane
#

2 confirmed. 2 prob 90% confrimed as well

true hound
#

Wdym

#

who

#

Linzkr?

#

and Akm?

static bluff
#

Is this War of Worldcraft game even any good? the graphics seem unpog

clear crane
#

Akm and Unkoe

true hound
#

yea probs

#

but to be fair they have CS backgrounds right

tropic herald
#

Would t be surprised if Linkzr Unkoe Akm or Zachareee left

clear crane
#

yup thats why i think 90% haha

worn falcon
#

Haksal would go Valorant if he doesnt get a contract

clear crane
#

idk enough about linkzr to comment

weak bolt
#

Nearly all of those are benched players anyway, if they didn't have contracts they'd probably be out of OWL

worn falcon
#

or League

rotund sail
#

or all of them

true hound
#

LiNkzr streams a lot of valorant

idle beacon
#

ok now

true hound
#

he was like a god

#

Quite good

idle beacon
#

again wrtong one 😄

true hound
#

but now he’s washed

clear crane
#

basically anyone who has a CSGO or pure FPS background I think will go Valorant

#

Will they succeed is TBD

weak bolt
#

Linkzr is the only one of the 4 who actually plays in OWL, and the other 3 are sitting milking ridiculous Dallas Fuel contracts for a team that doesn't need them lol

clear crane
#

Can you blame them?

true hound
#

Doha and decay get the job done

#

yeah

clear crane
#

If you have free money coming ur way u wont turn it down lol

weak bolt
#

Don't blame them at all

tropic herald
#

Dallas pay so much

idle beacon
#

@static bluff World of Warcraft .. the game with which the OW makers have made a fkn ton of money with BEFORE ow was even born

weak bolt
#

But the point is the team would retire them if they could

#

Sinatraa got signed to an org, Corey I'd guess would stand a good chance at getting into one

clear crane
#

The team can prob "force" them to play

rotund sail
#

yea WoW has been out forever

clear crane
#

but they would just be throwing

#

prob nothing in the contract about throwing

rotund sail
#

just wait to go against uprising then play them

tawny sigil
#

I told you guys, i told you guys last year that season 3 was going to kill the league. although covid is not helping, shit was just looking bad from the start without covid

idle beacon
#

lol 4 winstons

weak bolt
#

S3 isn't killing OWL imo, there is just a lot of dead weight in the scene taking up spots

rotund sail
#

yea

#

people say viewership is down also

#

live yes

tawny sigil
#

well, the removal of stage is making this unwatchable,

weak bolt
#

Viewership is near impossible to judge, as how do we view the Chinese/Korean viewership now?

then dont watch it for the season

#

It's all good saying last year was 70k per stream, but that was the same stream, now they are split across 2 regions

rotund sail
#

yea

#

and youtube is a bad platform

#

but the vods are popping off

tawny sigil
#

i dont really care about viewers

clear crane
#

Its not just youtube isnt it

#

Doesnt China and korea have their own sites

vale pond
#

china does

weak bolt
#

Youtube highly favours Vods over streams too, makes it far easier to watch in your own time

vale pond
#

korea prob has a youtube stream

worn falcon
#

i dont mind Youtube to be honest, is much better for me to watch

#

Yeah , Korea does in youtube.

rotund sail
#

youtube has its perks

vale pond
#

also youtube's video player is a million times better than twitch lets be honest

weak bolt
#

and I'd guarantee at least 20% or more of S1/S2 viewing figures was people afk for Tokens

rotund sail
#

like much better vods

worn falcon

China on bilibili

I can watch youtube with shitty wifi

youtube is a better user experience for this than twitch

oh we switching casters

Twitch > Youtube (and the only arugement that matters is about the emotes)

worn falcon

they arent bad tho

tawny sigil

who was it that got covid?...avast?

clear crane
#

yes

vale pond
#

yes

outer zenith
#

Honestly though, without Covid playing a role, do even half of the recent controversies and calamity that's Befallen the league take place? I think not.

weak bolt
#

Production issues would be just as bad on Twitch I'd bet this season too, moving all of production from organised studios, to peoples homes

clear crane
#

I feel like the Titans still wuda dropped their roster some other way haha

#

Shit was already going downhill with releasing Bumper

outer zenith
#

Problems are still there, but no where near as many.

vale pond
#

the titans issue began at the beginning of the season

worn falcon
#

titan issues was from season 2

weak bolt
#

Someone please explain to me how Titan's couldn't set up their complex to abide by social distancing. Did they rent the smallest room ever?

clear crane
#

Covid def played a part in some of the retirements, i think mainly for Hyp and Kellex

vale pond
#

atl should win

#

as long as the coaches dont throw again

clear crane

Sinatraa and Corey were gone regardless

isnt KSAA in the middle east?

And he’s still popping

why did corey leave?

tropic herald

Can’t wait to see him on good ping or LAN

worn falcon

he gonna play like fielder

weak bolt
#

Corey want's to play Valorant, he was a huge CS:GO fan so prefers that game type

clear crane
#

he was sick of losing

vale pond
#

his mechanics were really good

#

so he'd succeed

tawny sigil

i wish i was them. playing across the world and being at 200. not playing in my own country and having 180

hawk

tawny sigil

bring back jake's tracer

weak bolt

They must be playing what worked best in Scrims, they don't just randomly pick shit out of a hat

vale pond
#

hopefully

#

bc their roster choices have been questionable

tawny sigil
#

Jebaited?... you cant say that on youtube

vale pond
#

erster hasnt played enough

weak bolt
#

If erster hasn't played enough, it likely means he hasn't been performing in scrims

vale pond

thats really odd ngl

Yes. Torb plz

okay its dive

Muma won that.

Muma did something good

And he didn't have to play Winston to do it.

Muma's orisa is one of his better heroes at least

muma not throwing for once PogChimp

clear crane

nah he still is

nah, he still threw

just had a few ok plays

rotund sail

ok soft throwing

vale pond

his positioning was bad the rest of the time

rotund sail
#

he still did something

vale pond
#

but not the main problem

#

muma, do somethin!

weak bolt
#

wouldn't call it a throw, he's just the weak link on the team atm

gloomy vector
#

muma just isnt a good rein but hes ok as the other tanks he plays

vale pond
#

frd played well

#

I'm pleasantly surprised

digital cloud

he is pretty good

#

just not Hawk

rotund sail
#

my ps4 is behind pog

gloomy vector
#

reign did play pretty well just a few mistakes

weak bolt
#

Houston will be better on non-control maps I think, gives Danteh more room to carry on tracer

#

Just a shame Outlaws dont have another good Tracer so he can play Sombra

vale pond
#

that coordination

gloomy vector
#

sound why

clear crane
#

what is happening...

vale pond
#

2 ults for 1

gloomy vector
#

they are just wasting ults maybe for stall idk

outer zenith
#

Not a good day for Pulse Bombs.

weak bolt
#

Feels like tracers just yeet their pulse bombs now as they charge them so quick anyway

digital cloud
#

that, and I think they tend to be able to be more accurate in general now

gloomy vector

that c9 by dogman

tropic herald

There’s no point in sitting on a potential drag

where did dogman c9?

not a c9

So throwing the pulse is worth

babybay is toxic lmao

gloomy vector

he typed c9

ornate rose

Get off me freak.

vale pond

ah ok

weak bolt
#

I wonder if targetted banter is banned between teams. I'd be trolling/tilting muma big time if I were ATL

digital cloud
#

I am sure it is not

vale pond
#

its prob just a dick move

#

when overdone

digital cloud
#

well, it can psyche people out, I think

vale pond
#

I mean kruise is a feeder wasnt overboard

ornate rose
#

Babybay is just arrogant

gloomy vector
#

its not we usually just cant see it

weak bolt
#

Probably, but its babybay & Dogman, they aren't known for subtlety

vale pond
#

they're just looking for a laugh

#

idt they've offended anyone in the league yet

#

mostly just whiny fans

gloomy vector
#

the only reason we can see it is because they cant filter it for whatever reason

weak bolt
#

They can filter it, they deliberately turned it on for viewers

gloomy vector
#

idc i think its funny

vale pond
#

it was a good change

#

just shouldve told players when they did it

#

sex

#

big dick

weak bolt
#

They did tell them

vale pond
#

oof

weak bolt
#

Lastro just forgot

#

or didn't listen

gloomy vector
#

its not really a change its just because there not in a stadium i believe

clear crane
#

i think they have the option to turn it off

#

they just chose not to

#

there def is an option to turn off chat for spectators

gloomy vector
#

but even when we can see it its still on

weak bolt
#

They can just use /hidechat if they want

vale pond
#

atl is playing a lot like s2

i didnt know that was a feature i never do customs

frd pog hiog

I feel like blase tracer is going to be biggest weakness for Houston here

sorry, sombra

they are just giving free push like really

did Jecse just solo beat?

they were down 2 and won

#

frd 4k lol

true hound
#

I missed part of the match

#

Blase was on tracer?

#

why

weak bolt
#

was a typo, I meant sombra

idle beacon
#

4-8 vs 4-4

#

wtf ???

true hound
#

oh bruh

#

tracer sombra

#

dantehs two best heroes

weak bolt
#

Worst bit about this game, is that it's going to make all the ATL fans believe they are a top 5 team again because they beat Houston

idle beacon
#

we need a The Witcher reboot with Babybay being the younger Witcher (the younger Henry Cavill)

digital cloud
#

I doubt it

#

they lost to Valiant, for pete's sake

vale pond
#

I mean atl has the potential to be top 5 when they dont throw

weak bolt
#

^ see 😄

vale pond
#

the issue is that they throw too much

clear crane
#

lol

digital cloud
#

that is not based off of this match, Errrorr

vale pond
#

in all seriousness atl is playing identical to s2

clear crane
#

Atl prob top 5 if they run double shield

weak bolt
#

Yeah it's based off beating Defiant, Boston, Florida & Justice 😄

vale pond
#

losing to fusion twice, paris once, and valiant on a whiff?

clear crane
#

otherwise Tier 1 is prob Philly, SF, and SHD. Maybe NYXL

ornate rose
#

Rolled

vale pond
#

nyxl I'd wait

idle beacon
#

they really need to change the ultimate charge of moira. dps orb charges too much

digital cloud
#

after Nyxl lost to charge?

#

meh

vale pond
#

uhhhhh

#

this comp?

clear crane
#

thats why i said maybe

#

hard to gauge off 1 week/game

#

I really like London

ornate rose
#

The sym is interesting

vale pond
#

ok normal nvm

ornate rose
#

Lol nvm

#

He changed

rotund sail
#

i was making chicken tendies what did i miss

weak bolt
#

I feel like NYXL can play a lot more comps, ATL seem only top 5 at 1 comp. When it comes to tournaments/finals, I'd put ATL a lot lower

clear crane
#

Not saying their top tier but I like their roster a lot. Also their coaching staff is pretty pog

weak bolt
#

But it's near impossible to judge, as we don't know if Double shield > Dive, or Rush > Double Shield, or Dive > all

digital cloud
#

they have the pieces to be able to play any comp

#

just seems that they haven't done well on the other stuff due to coaching

vale pond
#

its hero pools

rotund sail
#

^

clear crane
#

This May Tourney in 2 weeks

#

wen theres no hero pools

vale pond
#

also atl looks far better on dive this week

#

last week was a mess

clear crane
#

we'll see whats the most run comp

vale pond
#

I say as they lose 2 fights in a row lmao

weak bolt
#

Yeah, my worry is the lack of time to scrim for most teams and work it out

vale pond
#

nvm

weak bolt
#

1 week to work out which comp is best of them all lol

clear crane
#

I think its either double shield mei blah blah, or the meta before hero pools, so rein dva mccree and i forgot who else

weak bolt
#

Was various nerfs since then I think? like Mei/Reaper both got minor nerfs

clear crane
#

honestly dont remmeber. will just see i guess 😅

vale pond
#

defense? idk her

weak bolt
#

My favourite part of the may tourney is Florida are likely to be #1 seed

vale pond
#

bruh lol

clear crane
#

really?

vale pond
#

they won once

weak bolt
#

Florida already went 3-0, and their next 2 games are Boston & Titans

#

You'd have to imagine they can 3-0 both of those

clear crane
#

do all teams play equal games?

vale pond
#

atl is winning fights they shouldnt be here

weak bolt
#

I believe so, should be 3 games each I think

vale pond
#

as much as I'd like to give them that credit thats down mostly due to houston

clear crane
#

ah im looking at the standings rn

#

So far its Shock Dallas and Florida tied

weak bolt
#

Shock drew a map last week, and Paris lost a map, so if Florida can 3-0 both Boston and Titans, they could go #1

clear crane
#

so all teams play 4 games i think

vale pond
#

good stuff

clear crane
#

Florida has prob the stupidiest easiest schedule of all

vale pond
#

"thats incorrect and you should all harass him"

worn falcon
#

Blase

#

wtf

clear crane
#

o wait no its 3 games

digital cloud
#

blase made it, I thought

weak bolt
#

Is it 4? I think this week Florida play titans, next week Justice, and then it's the tourney

ornate rose
#

Blase touching wouldn't of made a difference tbh

clear crane
#

yea but u didnt say wash

ornate rose
#

Would've gotten deleted

clear crane
#

so it confused me a bit

vale pond
#

this is a bit of a roll ngl

weak bolt
#

ah yeah my bad, it's justice not Boston

#

Should still be a 3-0 realistically for Florida

vale pond
#

what if they lose to titans

weak bolt
#

They play Titans tomorrow, so I'm doubtful for Titans

worn falcon
#

fuck, rewatched, yup

#

Mano/Blasé trying to cap

#

:(

vale pond
#

atl is finally getting their shit together hopefully

weak bolt
#

Houston aren't going to win anything here if they keep Blase playing hitscan heroes honestly

Hack-Fist comp. It's what they're good at.

Just stick to it.

now you know how atl fans felt last week lol

outer zenith
#

Let Blase be the Doom-bot he is.

vale pond
#

"play what you know how to"

weak bolt
#

Yeah at this stage it feels like Blase is a glorified doom 1 trick

vale pond
#

"flexible"

clear crane
#

"Glorified Doom 1 trick" eyesshaking

digital cloud
#

lies

#

Blase is king

weak bolt
#

Best bit is? they have 2 of them, with Hydration on the bench 😄

vale pond
#

babybay I really think is the key to atl's success

clear crane
#

It’s their dps line

vale pond
#

his comms are on point

clear crane
#

Their tanks are solid. Maasa is just there. Dog man can fame or feed. So their dps makes the diff imo

digital cloud
#

they have erster, edison, sharp, and babybay

#

what more do you want?

vale pond
#

I'm not complaining

#

I think that babybay does a good job of coordinating that talent

clear crane
#

Thats what im saying.. their dps line is their difference maker

digital cloud
#

wait, "Maasa is just there"?

#

you kidding?

vale pond

masaa is one of the better lucios

Masaa is fantastic

Maasa*

I feel sorry for Danteh honestly

vale pond

he has a bit of inconsistency but overall he is very good

Yea I know. Hence you know exactly what ur getting from him. If I said he was bad I woulda made a negative comment

vale pond

nice dante

you said "is just there"

is just there is what I would use for meh performan ce

digital cloud

you don't have to think he is good, but just there does not suggest decent, at the lest

Maasa is a bit like Moth, he's consistent as a Lucio, but he's not super flashy

Alright then Maasa is Maasa

that does not seem to be padding, though

Still boosting his stats rather than just hard resetting

oh tru

but not gonna happen

mhmm

weak bolt
#

Feel like the best thing for Houston right now would be Linkzr to retire, and Houston to pick up a good T2 hitscan

vale pond
#

linkzr is not the liability though

#

he plays well when he gets subbed in

weak bolt
#

50:50 chance on Linkzr, sometimes he does well, sometimes he does nothing

vale pond
#

meh I guess

#

he played alright this game

weak bolt
#

If they could find a T2 player that plays Tracer/Mcree they'd be sorted

vale pond

maybe

or hydration mt lmao

Hydration MT could be a blessing for Houston, it could actually give Muma a reason to improve a bit

balmy wolf
#

Overwatch is not a game for hitscan anymore. I can understand why they’d prefer a game like Valorant.

true hound
#

huh

#

literally widow and mccree are super strong

weak bolt
#

Hitscan still play a big part of OW, but those players who enjoy the CS:GO style of gameplay will always prefer Valorant

true hound
#

#

plus some pros I guess do come from a CS background

#

Corey Sinatraa dafran

weak bolt
#

It's not like we are seeing a ton of Tanks/Supports jumping ship to Valorant

true hound
#

yeah

#

Valorant isn’t really an OW killer

#

The pros who are going already have played CS

#

So it’s not something foreign to them

balmy wolf
#

Widow and mccree may be strong. But how frustrating when they’re banned or the strategy requires to play Mei or Reaper. If you’re a pure hitscan, there’s no way you can take pleasure in the game.

true hound
#

I mean you can considering the most meta dps picks are Reaper Mei McCree

weak bolt
#

Is the sound really out of sync for anyone else?

true hound

obviously the bans on widow cree are annoying
