valiant and selling good players, name a good duo
If Florida make a good run in the tourney, they'll jump up the standings a lot too
I hope he doesn’t pull a Flow3r
11 days for???
Sp9rk1e
who is he?
im waiting.
hes dps for paris
I can see Sp9kl1e being like S1 Sinatraa
oh
Trying to solo carry rather than playing as a team
Most hyped up flex dps in the off season
ex element mystic
is he that good?
Yes
yes
Plus he has old teammates
like how good
Hanbin Xzi ti play with
like fucking insane
what dps is he good that?
For one his doom is undeniably the best
I could see him having to become a mei one trick for a while. Genji/Doom/Pharah/Hanzo are not overly used picks
Korea
He’s in Korea now Bc of his wrist iirc
He'd have to play Mei really if Mei is meta
yea
Does he play much Echo yet?
theres no meta rn tho meta is fcking obliterared
May Melee will have a meta
for the most part
Dunno some heroes are still pretty meta when they are available
are there hero bans in may melee
sp9rk1e after this weekend is over
well theres obviously hereos u just dont pick rn
its less of a hard meta
uou dont have to mirror to win
in games
I think every tank and support is viable
I could honestly see Sparkle coming in and being a flop. His story is kinda similar to S1 Sinatraa, S2 Decay. All super hyped rookies, coming in and not doing great
like with doubke shield
Some dps are bad
Actually
I can probably beat sp9rk1e
sparkle would snap ur neck with his pinky
@weak bolt I've heard about him that when he played in scrims, he used to kill himself as Hanzo after killing enemy
somwhere in comments
well
i am slightly joking but
he proved himself in gauntlet
Have you ever watched him
OWL will prove how good he is, kinda hard to judge in contenders/streams
he's top tier
He’s not god but he’s proven to be insane
He definitely has the potential, lets put it that way
@weak bolt played against owl level contenders teams with ease
those that made owl, he played
is there a montage of him?
and shined
orobably
xzi and hanbin cracked
EN beat teams like RunAway and ATL Academy
more than his like cracked gameplay LOL
EM
He's going to have a lot of pressure on him too as the hyped rookie

So for tokens you gotta watch on the OWL site or app
Just feels like every season the super hyped rookie doesn't play well, and then comes back the next season and pops off
Basically the yt channel is useless
https://youtu.be/b5SXZ9gIb3g better
With a professional track record that has consistently seen runner-up if not first-place finishes, Yeong-han "SP9RK1E" Kim was one of the one most sought after players during the offseason.
Whether it be Doomfist, Hanzo, Pharah or other heroes in his arsenal SP9RK1E is known...
video imo
Owl side uses the Youtube video, just embedded I think? and YT still has the VODs which are highly watched
YT zzz
is the tokens for all countries or is it just that selected few again?
the latter
geez
why?
nvm no one knows anyways
also how's washington's HC doing
good? since he isn't released
E
not even a fucking "thank you"
Does anyone know which old Vancouver players still didn't find teams?
look at all the replies in that tweet
its almost worse than the Glads complaining about almost losing to Valiant
it IS worse
the glads have been really disapointing
They went from a top five team last season to a lost to boston team this season
also does the melee event coming up have hero pools?
No
Glads were overrated by a lot of people. They have an almost completely new line-up
also hero bans are bad for them
goose is very much a lucio specialist
also im not too confident in oge playing non winston tanks
hello, can someone explain how do ow league points work?
@hidden vault why not more countries ? Because they really do not want to give away 'free tokens', so they do the bare minimum. the rest of the world can pay
damn, if any of you think lynn and bani were the problems on that team then you’re terribly mistaken LOOL
1009
no its clearly chipsa
Chipsa has the highest
I think Fearless is the highest out of them who plays a significant amount of time
All the others in front don’t play regularly
https://twitter.com/johngalt/status/1263198159775453189?s=21 ok he’s a “very good coach” but he’s off the team now?
We haven't been having a great season definitely and there's currently discussion towards the direction of the team(for this year, for the next etc)
I do feel very strongly though that Bani is a very good coach.
182
Y I K E S
there's speculation justice is transitioning to a full korean team
hence the GM and coach being laid off
Well goodbye Ellivote and Lullsish then
they would be the only two non KR members moving forward depending on who they get to replace them
They already have replacements
Roar and Jjanu
On the bright side we will see Philly v Shock given they dont choke
Lullshish being in visa hell is a tragedy. Shame the State’s visa system is dogshit
100 replies and we’ll make Jeff Kaplan the next hero.
3085
13667
im at the point i dont doubt this
They really lowballed on the main overwatch page. Why not make it 100k retweets?
ah they turned comments off
Verified users can make tweets where only tagged people can reply
They tagged no one
remember when the gladiators rebranded to the LA Biggeese?
fusion should rebrand to the Philipdelphia fussion
The Philadelphia fish and chips
who yall got for winning the whole thing
do the asian champion go against the western champ or something
Asia dragons beat charge and America fusion beat shock, no the champs do not face one another
? Dynasty only have one good meta
Dynasty won’t do good unless they have Orisa
Even when they beat Shanghai it wasn’t close and Shanghai have proven to learn from their mistakes very fast
I don’t see a world where Shanghai don’t win
rooting for glads but they will probably lose :(
When do the NA teams choose their enemies?
Nevermind
isnt there a way to get 100 free league tokens?
Would be funny if
They would release another hero, just randomly
Big jebait from Jeff
Looking back at some videos of homestands, I think they are such an amazing experience, making the viewership higher, live crowd
No wonder people retire
Some just play for the feeling of playing for the fans
"Hey guys it's Jeff from the Overwatch team, as you can see I'm actually in the game this time. What that means is that I'm the next hero. We worked really hard on my design, but in the end decided that my ult auto wins the game because I am the best."
I can't login on owl website
How do I submit my team for tournaments?
Like just open ones
I’m guessing it’s online
Paris absolutely STEAMROLED dallas
The only thing that Dallas did not change is their org
sinatraa streaming ow?
if that's so, valorant servers are prob down or something
hhh
l Love you


The Uprising just caught some local New England talent.
From Stonington, CT, please welcome @mikeyy_ow to #BostonUp!
Boston have a new MT
dang whoever photoshoped him onto the boston bg did a poor job
Lmao That Photoshop 
doesn't even have a liquidpedia page
good for him tho
At first I thought it was Mikeya coming out of retirement lol
Good to see Boston in the right direction
A brand new tank line might actually be what Boston needs
wait they have 3 MT's now
When is that Axium or whatever his name is Healed?
Axxiom, Mikey and Fusions
Axxiom has been in Korea for a while now iirc
Fusions is kind of a rein one trick and not even amazing at rein imo
I wonder if he'll go to London if they make Place
So depending how Mikeyy plays and the meta goes we might see him starting
Where is he from though
new england I think
ah
stontington CT
what're his best heroes? 
So what else Boston needs
Boston still needs a dedicated flex
Isn't that Myunbong
Not just colourhex playing Mei and Pharah calling that a flex
wait
Colorhex was decent at Echo
who's their ms?
But not anything special
punk shows promise
Myunbong tho 😩😩
Jerry carry
Who is Boston playing against this weekend
Jerry Punk and Myunbong actually look decent or good
Yeah
We don’t know yet
We have to wait till Vancouver and Defiant play
So defiant wins
^
Ye
He’s already showing insane skill on it
I'll like to see how Boston will perform this weekend
Fielder is good
And how much that will effect things
cause it’s not like Houston has a shit lineup
Their players are pretty good
Muma is just uhh
do you think Boston will trade Axxiom for someone with London?
I saw muma streaming today
ye
Houston should just stick with hackfist
Maybe Hydration will turn shit around
Yeah their hackfist is honestly really fucking good
he jumped off the side of ilios by accident and popped primal but still died
The Uprising just caught some local New England talent.
From Stonington, CT, please welcome @mikeyy_ow to #BostonUp!

o damn
Apparently he is good at ball, rein, and orisa
Too bad they still don't have a good winston smile
If this happens I will snap
should be obvious that anything goes in asia region
on paper, mayhem and eternal have the chance make statement wins but the quartfinals is pretty messy
how tf can paris beat SFS
Paris is one of my favorite teams, so im not being bias its just
Xzi and sparkle inc
how
wut
but xzi + sparkle is gonna be stacked
Mayhem wins it all?
that's bias Razor
And sparkle is turning 18 next week
Im sorry i just started watching paris yesterday, decided i wanted to watch more teams than defiant
Sparkle won't be ready for the may melee
I have it to heart that I didn't think eternal had it this good so early in the season
his birthday is the 31st
yeah
My three favorite teams are Defiant Paris And Titans
Jehong said he doesn’t love OW as much as he used to Feelsbadman
sp9rk1e can't wait (but not eligible during the tourney)
f
There is some players on my favorite team that i did not know existed
untill recently
Like their substitutes
yeah I want to see all those juicy power rankings again

Seoul at 6
Seoul looked good
I hope vancouver can do someshit
As they always do
Seoul always starts looking good but then they just crumble
I haven't had anything great to say about seoul dynasty ever since season 1 matchup against NYXL
Same as defiant
Defiant looked like it was making a come back
and than it just lost every game
Defiant are looking better
only way to go but up
I can't believe after all this time
#BostonUp
when the cards have been dealt for an entire season
I come back and see punk really working for boston
I cannot wait for the Boston match
what boston match?
When they play in the melee
Don’t know against who yet
Defiant and Titans still have their knockout
yeah
Which should be a clean Defiant win
Defiant is gonna win
But who knows
@worldly lichen found this for you - how does a boston uprising match have 24 minutes of highlights \
?
the average highlight video from last week was somewhere between 10-18 mins
Week 15 of the 2020 Overwatch League season is live on May 16 and 17 on YouTube Gaming. The two days of matches feature the Seoul Dynasty, Hangzhou Spark, Guangzhou Charge, Shanghai Dragons, New York Excelsior, London Spitfire, Chengdu Hunters, Washington Justice, Vancouver Ti...
look at that timestamp
I’m getting season one vibes from Boston
but their execution is far from poor
Boston has improved a lot
Now that they removed a player they can be rejuvenated into a new era mid season
If im not mistaken, boston used to be one of the top teams correct?
Well they actually looked alive
Yeah toronto did to untill we had that match against houston
then everything crumbled
I don’t think many people have considered Toronto good since last season stage 1
Season 1 boston finished 3rd place
Season 2 boston finished 19th
punk isn't the cure all, it makes sense now they can start grabbing wins people aren't expecting
and mineral is far from the problem
hopefully toronro can make a comback
toronto*
but thats why i have been following paris lately
Watching defiant games is just painful
Watching all that canadian power crumbling :((
xd
why are we waiting though?
Cause sparkle is op
but why is he not playing?
underage
age
does that mean he can play in the may melee thing?
He’s not 18 yet
ah
so how's the haksal pickup going
if we narrow it down, he could be on an all korean roster as a temp for 2 weeks
now how many of you are thinking any of these teams would sign him
Teams in Asia


What do you guys think about soon?
Teams in NA

I mean the player from eternal
good enough for paris
He should stop playing reaper
He's very good with other heroes but can't compete with reaper
can't stop him from giving his team much needed firepower against other tank heavy strategies
I assume it's more a neccessity rather than a hero he wants to play
as spoken by the dev team on release
most echo duplicates particularly on 2CP tend to be on tank heroes
because your get so much stall time out of her
would haksal to london be good?
great if not good
unlike washington picking up jjanu and stitch
you've already mitigated two problems at once as haksal
ping
and korean teamates who are somewhere between amateur at worst
amazing star players when they play it right
Hasksal to Charge?
charge, spark and dragons - who are going to get an elimination slap for coming over to their neighbourhood to play
@tropic herald
blue, huh?
The other thing he said is the roster was full korean
Eliminating charge
And London is a 12 man
i suppose spark and charge don't look like all korean rosters
but the only players they can field will at some point be all korean
guxue renewing his visa after the may tournament makes more than likely al korean - chinese players from contenders are eligible but look at their roles
I don’t think Hangzhou can field a full korean roster
And Hangzhou are split between Korea and China iirc
Let me see if I can find the thing
Supervisor Rondo updates the latest news about the team, about addition of Architect, Bazzi‘s retirement, Guxue's incoming visa renewal in June, and the academy team. Join us to find out more!

I believe they said it in here
Also
ryujehong on Mirage's stream
(he says he's considering doing the 5/31 event match)
"Honestly I had no intention of doing it. At all. But I got a lot of calls from Blizzard, Runner, Sorim, others...
OW is fun. It's more fun than Valorant as a game. But I've lost love for it."...
153

that's the saddest thing I've ever read
times and circumstance aren't too great
probably his greatest highs and lows within the span of five months
London has no place left
and in that interview
ugh let me get that interview
cant find it
but he likes Blue
and wants to go a team where hes great buds with someone
and he's duo-queuing with Jjonak a lot
right
and there were rumors
either Seoul or XL
NY is more likely
if so rip whoru
BQB, AKM, EQO, ANS
inb4 carcar becomes CAR
haha
WYA, Ria, Ado, iDK, FRD, LIP
baby haksal
their hero pools overlap eachother a lot
no shit sherlock
but good
we all want to know where haksal will go
nyxl? whoru to dragons?
Haskal sbb dive seems unfair
In my opinion, I'm not impressed by whoru on genji
https://twitter.com/ChengduHunters/status/1263529995323838464 imagine chengu posting these instead if they won against dragons nyxl and spark
Libero came out of bench retirement to replace whoru
yeah that shouldn't be because he's playing below expectations
but i can figure out that's probably why he started instead of whoru
I think NYXL are just trying to get whoru to learn this roster so that if they need him for gengi they can use him
sinatraa is not good enough
how tf are you a pro
signed as a pro player
and still not valorant?
disgraceful
Lul
Must be tilting
To win 7 straight games and no valorant
He won 9 in a row a couple of days ago
Unlucky
Greater question is, does Babybay even play OW anymore
Dude is always on valorant
it's almost worse than that
@ Sinatraa
beta means less people, so there should be an easier route to high rank
He is already high rank
Every game he is matched with at least a few valorant playees
He just can’t hit it himself
There isn’t any progression tab either
So you will never know
i know cuz I know nothing about Valorant
I've watched some videos and it just seems very boring
Valorant itself is very fun. But shit like garbage Hit reg and FPS drops make it very tilting at times
Hopefully they can fix it quick before launch
Which is on June 2nd
seems unlikely
Ye
No way in hell should a 2060 be dropping frames from 250 to 150
Completely fucks up your aim
happens to ow as well tho
at least it should be fixed in this anniversary patch
previous patch random dps dropping to low for no reason
Hello everyone! I am starting up a tournament for low rank Overwatch players on console! We are looking for members to join the league that are excited to start to compete! Dm me for more info!
Not the right place big man
just need 2 more victories then i own the new skin
ok and?
mad
But now - and Mirage also feels this way - well we’ve both gotten a lot out of OW. And while it’s a hard time for me personally, I thought... I’ll just tough it out thru the hard times to the end, and then it’ll be ok. I do think I have to do this.” https://t.co/Lmv6vGK3bs
Jehong might participate in the LH - Runaway match
and apparently they are trying to get Esca permission from the military

Join us at https://t.co/tbTGBsbQac for all of the May Melee drama 🙌
Kox basically was forced to leave the scene, he was way too toxic to be redeemed
They cast Korea
pixie?
At least this year they have
Happy is cracked
also would it change if all of them played mcree ? widow?
Linkzr too streaky
Exactly
He lost to Zach in a 1v1
That’s why I don’t take him in a team
Chipsa is best owl player no kap????
He has the numbers to back it up
what abouit glister
Who is that and what did they do
I couldn’t find anything, what did he do?
He quit playing like 2 years ago tho right?
got canceled for the most part
He left runaway cause of burnout
Everyone in the league probably Diem
If there is another double sniper meta what two sniper heroes would you pick?
LIP is no joke either
Widow and Hanzo still
They are the only 2 DPS with no falloff and really fast projectile speeds that warrant being a sniper
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I'm seeing something off in that bracket
can't put my finger on it..
ah
It must have been a design by a Fuel fan
It looked too correct to be random chance
@clear crane imo no way they let esca
sk takes military shit super seriously lmao
also im pretty sure jehong said he will be playing in the event match which is super sick
hello
Hey um
Question
Why does the owl app say that Paris is gonna face of a team called TBD ?
To my knowledge there is no TBD team
means to be determined
what does TBD mean?
how am i meant the format the match announcements for #esports-news
TBD, TBD, TBD, TBD, TBD

Serious question
Why is Chipsa on philly
There are so many better players hes just popular lol
@tardy fable thats the exact reason
because hes popular
it attracts his fanbase to their franchise
see: seagull, xqc, dafran
but hes not a good player, or even a morally good person, and it makes me upset that he is on a pro team
dallas was the most popular team of season 1
Same with XQC
Overwatch League is fun to watch though
I can get tokens without buying them now
I think
@echo quest bro
bro
bro
Kephrii
Rank Valorant
Before
Sinatraa

i told ya
that kephrii would get it earlier than sinatraa
@karmic grotto Sinatraa got it lmao
Kephrii 5 stacks lmaoo
Trash
He actually waits 35 minutes for a match
When did surefour switched to LAG?
emongg thought valorant was good
until he realizes, nah
overwatch the game for me
Does anyone know if the may tournament is the whole weekend? I mean are the semi-finals and finals this weekend too?
So is it possible that we can get 100 owl tokens this weekend?
1 hour is 3 tokens right
so you gotta watch 33.3 hours if my math doesn't suck like it usually does
1 hour is 5 tokens
oh 5?
Oh yeahhh
it was 3
now it's 5
my bad
so 20 hours then
thanks plattus
If you can see this,
you r useing dark mode. If you see this,
you r useing light mode, like me. 
When I can see both
excuse me you're using light mode?
Nah I’m dark mode and can see both
rjh playing ana in mirage stream https://www.twitch.tv/mirage720
rjh hasnt streamed ow in a while
He plays in 3 hours
guess they jsut feeling him out
Either they are fielding him
Or just a stand in Bc something happened with agilities
Pretty sure they can run Mangachu out there with Logix/S4 and still 3-0 the Titans haha
Didnt realize first game was 1pm est. Nice start to weekend
Apparently s4 doesn't say "playing for toronto defiant" in his twitter bio any more
making me nervous
👀
s4 to justice would make the least sense in the world lmao
or going valorant
wait whats going on with s4
just overthinking why doesnt say "playing for defiant" :P
s4 has being play OW a lot lately tho
now we have 4 dps
Idk if he played valorant
well, the thing is OW had many CS players, then Quake, then TF2, then Minecraft
i came from fortnite lmao
so yea, some people had the itch for valorant
KSF too
But yeah, most of them had that itch to play here or try other esport which isnt bad, as for the streamers, well theyre streamers and goes here and there to get dem subs.
I think s4 has a big enough stream to make liveable money off it
agreed
if he was leaving defiant I’d assume he was retiring
Considering his stream is like 3k+
isnt like 500-1k viewers for s4?
Surefour usually has 2-3k viewers
We heard you guys like Overwatch tournaments so who’s ready for 72 hours of one can I get a hell yea
This weekend
Hell yeah
Theres not even a betting line available for TOR-VAN
Isn’t dafran basically a one trick echo now
they predicting a stomp
may melee this weekend?
interesting
maybe he will improve?
wild
1 player is gone, the other player is fusions
what about it
also grike how is the hat doing
glad to hear it
ok but 1 is a meme
so it's fine
Carpe is great, but Heesu is a developing talent
and EqO/Ivy are good flex DPS with complementary pools
my point is having weird levels of certain roles is not unheard of
how dare you call Philip "Chipsa" Graham, star player of the Philipdelphia Fish and Chipsa a meme
yeah but having more DPS than other roles is pretty standard
chipsa is god tier
but 3 MTs?
like I said, one is unavailable due to health issues and the other is fusions
Chipsa is not useless
ok, I get it, you are dedicated to the joke
Okay, he could be more useful if the double shield is still meta
they gave him as many resources as possible and he STILL fed
or sigma doom if u call it
I was not trying to start a debate here
which is not even a debate
he is objectively the worst dps in the leagye
league*
who is worse?
chipsa is there for publicity
^^^
^^
I do like chipsa however
dayfly
And he is a very good doomfist
yeah, but chipsa still pops off
obviously
in ranked yes
Dayfly hasn't been on a team since 2018 and he's still active
they won’t play him unless there is a heavy doom meta
can we go back to the previous tipic
no
topic*
lets talk but Jjanu
the tank levels in Boston
about*
Chipsa confirmed he was supposed to play when doomfist was scrimmed almost a whole week by teams, so he’s not just there for jokes
any other dps on their team would be a better doom at that level
they are actually talented enough to be there
he is not
has Heesu ever played Doom?
yes
even if he never has, he would still be better
Well he said the team was going to play him. So he clearly has some value
he said it
yes, for the publicity
Isnt heesu a flex dps or hitscan?
hitscan
Except the meta changed to torb last minute so he didn’t play
he added like 10000 viewers when he showed up
I forgot who was the echo player on the team
Eqo and he's really popping
He wasn’t gonna play jsut for publicity during that week
yeah obviously philly still wants to win
when they have players that have better dooms?
Except they don’t
I have a hot take
tbh it was kinda stupid when they bench chipsa & carpe
all of them, ladder doom is different than OWL
KDG hasn't been very good this year
he can't keep up
we don’t know
We haven’t seen him play
except against the titans
Which doesn’t count
cause that was a stomp
I don’t get ur argument. The philly staff said they were gonna play him over any other dps on philly when doom was meta. How are u gonna say otherwise
let's not talk about it anymore
chipsa may be very onlooki but I think he will do fine
^^
You’re not going to play your widow specialist when widow isn’t viable
ye
Why would you play your doom specialist when doom isn’t viable
is doom going to be viable in this tournament?
No
there are no hero pools
Blase can play heroes other than doom
Echo exists
can he though
yeah uh
his doom is top notch
hang on
no one
barely picked
he can play junkrat
2 of those heroes are bad
I mean, they could stick if they OWL default composition
yes but why would they need rat
they're not bad
you're right
mei mccree is the shit right now
only doha is allowed to play junk
Rat is really just good for one thing
but he gone 😦
have you seen doha on junk?!
Junkrat isn't bad tf
J OMEGALUL KE
And that’s defense 2CP
ok junkrat is really poop
ye but
The jakerat defense never fails
unless its like 1 of 3 maps
You play rat in anticipation of a sym
playing junk on assault maps is a good decision
Like on Hanamura
1 choke
Cause rat is cooler
