WhatV

[balmy wolf]

idk man, shock were down 99% on round 2

[echo quest]

Mayhem should have backed to point dawg. Gargoyle’s shield was gone

[upper niche]

I had 9 straight games last night where I think I might have died maybe 10 times across 9 wins? Pretty much every game was like 18k+ damage, a grav a minute.

[worn falcon]

Super saved shock on lijiang, with viol2t and ANS

[forest raven]

[worn falcon]

Rascal was getting rolled

Literally

[weak bolt]

Did you learn to just walk around/through shields @upper niche ? 😄

[upper niche]

it's like that time something just 'clicked' with me when I was playing Sombra.

[echo quest]

Super’s ego gonna go through the roof tonight

[forest raven]

dw

His chat will bring it back down

[upper niche]

@weak bolt Nah I learned how to abuse ult charge rate better.

[tropic herald]

One reason I wanted mayhem to win: Supers stream

[forest raven]

lmao same

[karmic grotto]

^^

[echo quest]

Let’s get it

[weak bolt]

Super deserves to have his ego tonight, the 2 maps he played he dominated

[karmic grotto]

Did he?

[tropic herald]

Especially the shittalk he had before the match

[karmic grotto]

He didn't had Rein mirror

At all

[upper niche]

At least Sinatraa was humble.

[echo quest]

Super did a 180, gargoyle was booming him

[balmy wolf]

super did have a rein mirror

[worn hornet]

I also think Super plays it up for the camera

[weak bolt]

Doesn't matter what the mirror was, he won the Lijjang, and on Nepal he did nothing wrong

[tropic herald]

Gargoyle was playing good on rein

[balmy wolf]

both teams ran orisa/rein

[echo quest]

Until point 2

[worn falcon]

Also I hated ANS on Junkertown, fuck playing vs that

[karmic grotto]

Yeah

[clear crane]

Super is mostly camera

[karmic grotto]

Nerf Widow

[forest raven]

Super absolutely plays it up

[karmic grotto]

ChipSa was right

[clear crane]

I think hes pretty humble

[upper niche]

Which was the match where someone duplicated Zenyatta? I think it was SHD v SEO on Blizzard World.

[echo quest]

Super is a funny dude

[balmy wolf]

think dragons

[echo quest]

Don’t take what he says for serious

[forest raven]

Super's hilarious

[ornate rose]

Got my 20 league tokens 👌

[clear crane]

I cant say the same for someone like Dogman

[forest raven]

His stream's fantastic

[echo quest]

He’s like chipsa but actually good at the game

He can say this type of stuff

[karmic grotto]

Undefeated owl player

100% winrate

[weak bolt]

Dogman is kinda expected to trash talk now, if he doesn't do it, people complain at him just as much as when he does

[worn falcon]

Super is fun and get memed a lot

[tropic herald]

Why didn’t ChipSa get payed against Florida

He has a 100% WR

[karmic grotto]

Doomfist no meta

[balmy wolf]

poor chispa

[echo quest]

His chat Finna gonna say something about him being a bench boy and Malding and he’ll get mad

KEKW

[forest raven]

Super gets memed a lot because he memes himself

[weak bolt]

When they lose, he doesn't make excuses, they own up to their issues

[worn falcon]

Too much for Florida

[forest raven]

That's why he's great

[upper niche]

Now you've got me trying to remember who the streamer is who always talks shit about heroes he doesn't like being "unskilled"?

[echo quest]

Super gets memed by his own chat

[upper niche]

uhm... can't recall.

Super also has the most punchable face of the 3 of them who really mouth off

[worn falcon]

At least super chat isn't like xQc chat

[true hound]

PogChamp spam

[worn falcon]

xQc chat is literally brain dead

[true hound]

xqc is the greatest

nah, xqc chat is probs smarter than him

but everyone loves xqc

good man

[tropic herald]

xQc played OW for so long

[clear crane]

xqc chat is unreadable

[tropic herald]

He has permanent brain damage

[forest raven]

Multiple owl offers?

[true hound]

yes

[forest raven]

And he was just like

Nah I'm good

[true hound]

but he doesnt wanna go pro

[karmic grotto]

He doesn't want to

[balmy wolf]

apparently Kester doesnt want to join or something

[worn falcon]

Because he doesn't want to be rolled

[balmy wolf]

uhhh no

[worn falcon]

T2 Is more lax than OWL

[karmic grotto]

You realize he's playing high ping in NA?

[tropic herald]

Kevster doesn’t want to be in OWL for some reason

[true hound]

6 offers from owl does not sound like hes gonna get rolled

[balmy wolf]

probs travel

[weak bolt]

Rumours are he doesn't want to travel

[karmic grotto]

lel

[true hound]

chipsa said that at least

[worn falcon]

And they say

[weak bolt]

Could be any reason, maybe he has a GF he doesn't want to leave 😄

[balmy wolf]

i mean it is a valid concern

[karmic grotto]

[balmy wolf]

constantly traveling and being away from home

Not going to get any NA vs Asian teams until grand finals

[forest raven]

Fuck you covid

[clear crane]

They already announced a june tourney @upper niche about 5 mins earlier

[forest raven]

[sullen berry]

epic support tier 2 rally right there

[forest raven]

OWL got so lucky to get talent with so much personality

[weak bolt]

Starts 12/13th June, I'd guess probably get 4 weeks of games, and final at end of July?

[raw ermine]

I support t2 by watching Vancouver and Washington matches

[balmy wolf]

regional tournament after 3 weeks of matches

[forest raven]

Bren, sideshow, custa, reinforce, uber

[sullen berry]

let me have the true GZ win tournament this week

GZ Gaming rise UP

They're gonna need to fly some teams to visit away from home soon, this whole two regions amongst themselves thing is getting zzzzz

[balmy wolf]

Vancouver Atlanta Toronto gets the yeet out of January predictions

[balmy wolf]

no one expected dragons to be top tier

[clear crane]

Really?

[balmy wolf]

wait

not like top 5

[clear crane]

I had SHD top 3 preseason

along with VAN and Shock

[sullen berry]

no dragons were definitely up in top 6 when the player trades/signings were still happening

[balmy wolf]

never expected Lip to be that good of an signing

Fearless was kind of expected since he was smurfing in contenders basically

[clear crane]

Lip no. but I had Fleta and LJG fucking

[balmy wolf]

now void is consider a top 5 OT now

dude is cracked

[echo quest]

I mean anyone that watched KR contenders knew LJG was a god

[tropic herald]

Shanghai has beeen top 5 since off season

[echo quest]

And fearless was smurfing in Contenders

Plus adding Fleta

[tropic herald]

They got elevated to top 2 from scrims

[balmy wolf]

I think the only major concern was coach moon and if he would screw up like he did with valiant last season

[tropic herald]

Moon is clearly better now

[clear crane]

yea i had no idea what the fk he was doing there

but he is also the same guy who helped them win stage 4 S1 and placed 2nd reg season

[balmy wolf]

true

[echo quest]

Also got agill back on dps

[tropic herald]

True true

[echo quest]

Agill really fell off

This season

[balmy wolf]

the only pickup i dont agreed with on dragons is stand1

Fearless is basically necessary to win with top teams

[clear crane]

I can kinda see why he wanted Kuki in on GOATS tho, even if its on Lucio. His game sense seems really high and hes showing it as a coach

[tropic herald]

But that’s not what moon said

[balmy wolf]

kuki on lucio in goats?

[clear crane]

wat cause custa was too smart?

[balmy wolf]

Moons reasons was BS

[clear crane]

screw that

[tropic herald]

“Custa too smart”

[echo quest]

He said custa was too big brained lmao

[balmy wolf]

I bet ya it was internal conflict

and custa was bench because of it

Kuki is a tank player

So its pretty brain ded to think that a tank player can effectively play lucio in goats

[echo quest]

Wasn’t it a conflict between fate and custa

[clear crane]

I feel like a bunch of main tanks used to play support

Mano, Bumper are the first 2 that come to mind

[balmy wolf]

that doesnt matter

at all

[echo quest]

Mano Lucio

[true hound]

On the flip side alarm was a tank player

in apex

[echo quest]

BK stars

Kariv was dps

[true hound]

I still remember taimou farming

BK stars

[forest raven]

Bro

[clear crane]

ah BK Star

[forest raven]

Taimou's flick onto carpe on Volsk

[clear crane]

Pre-steriod Carpe

[balmy wolf]

ah the old taimou widow

[echo quest]

Taimou the washed valorant player

[balmy wolf]

his widow back in apex was pretty scary

[true hound]

Carpe musta been boomed in that game

[balmy wolf]

I think he was one of the very few players to commit to widow back then

[forest raven]

BK Stars had Carpe, Alarm, and Bernar

Good lord

[clear crane]

and Bunny!

[balmy wolf]

since widow was consider a meh pick back in the day

[true hound]

we all remember bunny for being flick shotted by taimou

but he was a very good tracer

he played for LAV didn’t he

[tropic herald]

Yep

[clear crane]

Twilight was also on BK Stars

[balmy wolf]

u know during the dragons vs seoul game I thought it was over for dragons

[true hound]

meanwhile the runaway boys

[balmy wolf]

went to sleep and what do you know they reverse sweep

[true hound]

I had just woken up and the score was 3-0

and I was like

[clear crane]

I feel a Runaway player is gonna win ROY

[true hound]

Shit

I missed the whole match

I mean

Haksal did

[clear crane]

this year

whether its LJG or Yaki

[balmy wolf]

all the new runaway players in OWL are all top players rn

[echo quest]

Yaki or Leejaegon

[true hound]

ohhh

The newer runaway squad

[tropic herald]

Joemeister

[true hound]

I thought you meant og runaway

[balmy wolf]

cant wait for MAG in OWL

[tropic herald]

Mag to Houston

[balmy wolf]

hell no

[echo quest]

Hell yes

[tropic herald]

Mag to Hangzhou

[echo quest]

Why?

[clear crane]

Whose in the league from new runaway

For that 2 week contract?

[tropic herald]

I remember watching Yaki on MVP Space in APEX

[echo quest]

Hanbin,Xzi,Doha

And now Sparkle

[true hound]

sibaaaaaaaal

[tropic herald]

HanBin

[balmy wolf]

QoQ been doing shit in contender tho

won the 1st week and they've been bottom tier ever since

[tropic herald]

They won week 2

[clear crane]

I didnt realize T1 is basically FU revamped

I shud keep up more with contenders

[tropic herald]

T1 has academy status still iirc

[balmy wolf]

T1 didnt win week 2

they won week 1

and havent won since

[tropic herald]

I was looking at the wrong roster

[balmy wolf]

gotta wonder tho

[tropic herald]

O2 and T1 are both red

[balmy wolf]

why QoQ didnt get picked up

[tropic herald]

Idk man, who would’ve picked him up

[clear crane]

O2 has produced many OWL players

[tropic herald]

Dallas?

[balmy wolf]

i think their were rumors of him going there

however they picked note in the end

which in hindsight was better ig

[tropic herald]

Dallas, Valiant, Boston

Who else would want him

[balmy wolf]

houston

[tropic herald]

But they were looking at MekO

[balmy wolf]

very few teams needed an OT upgrade

[clear crane]

Boston needed one

Punk seems to be the answer now

[tropic herald]

I feel like Chengdu might’ve looks at him too

Maybe even Spark or Guangzhou

[clear crane]

not chinese = no Chengdu

[balmy wolf]

^

their pretty keen on that

[tropic herald]

Look where that’s getting them

[clear crane]

yet they have Baconjack and ATing

[balmy wolf]

@FLMayhem @ShanghaiDragons 🖤

Twitter

Shock are winners

[forest raven]

Most impressed by Shock tho

They had a clear pipeline of talent over a year or so

And have had insane scouting since

[balmy wolf]

u think shock is looking for another dps rn?

[forest raven]

Maybe

Striker seems perma benched at this point

[tropic herald]

I think another flex would be nice

[forest raven]

YEah

[tropic herald]

Yeah rascal is good

But

[next mesa]

taiwan is taiwan

why is striker benched doe

[forest raven]

Rascal is amazing but again

He's one man

[balmy wolf]

ans is cracked

[tropic herald]

Meta doesn’t favor Strikers half of the hitscan

[next mesa]

striker is more mccree/tracer right

[tropic herald]

Yea

[balmy wolf]

ANS is overall the better long range hitscan dps

[tropic herald]

Long range poke good

Mcacree

Bad

[balmy wolf]

however ans aim is up there too

[forest raven]

Wait a minute

[next mesa]

wait

I didnt even know

[balmy wolf]

however rascal being in all the time is not really bad at all

[forest raven]

Ans was on Blossom at the start of 2019, retired, then got picked up by Shock

[next mesa]

the match finished

[tropic herald]

Yeah

[next mesa]

how was it

[tropic herald]

Good

[next mesa]

was it steamroll

4-2

[tropic herald]

No

[next mesa]

well

[balmy wolf]

ANS was a streamer beforehand being picked by shock

[forest raven]

That's almost jjonak levels of scouting

[next mesa]

close enough

[tropic herald]

ANS was a ranked warlord

[balmy wolf]

^

[next mesa]

oh yeah jjonak was just a ladder player

[tropic herald]

in Korea

[balmy wolf]

like jjonak

[next mesa]

lmfao becomes mvp

[balmy wolf]

notorious widow player in ladder

[forest raven]

Jjonak had played on like one open division team before being picked up by ny

[tropic herald]

Jjonak was on LW Blue

[balmy wolf]

jjonak went nuts on ladder before being picked up

[tropic herald]

Didn’t even play a game

[balmy wolf]

had multiple account in top 10

like ANS jjonak was dominating in ladder

[forest raven]

Yeah and NY picked up the LWB squad wholesale

[sullen berry]

my toucans

there's too many of them

[balmy wolf]

I remember sinatraa saying when they scrimmed with ANS that his gameplay was "sex"

turns out it was true and the pickup was worth it

it is crazy to think tho that ANS is consistently being played over striker

[forest raven]

Shock is the raid boss of OWL

[balmy wolf]

Like I remember Lip got picked up

and people were saying he was gonna get benched for diem

then that chinese tournament happen and Lip was bonkers good

[digital cloud]

lip and ans remind me of jjonak

just coming out of nowhere

[balmy wolf]

mmmhh

not Lip

lip was on bad contenders team

ans and jjonak were picked due to their ladder plays

wait LIP and ANS were on the same contender team at 1 point

[forest raven]

Well

Time to go feed in my plat games

[balmy wolf]

what does mtd mean?

[raw ermine]

main tank difference

[balmy wolf]

what is that?

[forest raven]

It's a meme from super's stream

[raw ermine]

whenever a MT makes a big play they spam MTD

the difference in playmaking between main tanks

Jjonak's story is so cool tho

He joins LW blue right as they enter OWL

straight from ladder

no tounament experience

and frags

[balmy wolf]

i think it was the seoul vs NY game that was legendary

[raw ermine]

becoming the best zen in the league

[balmy wolf]

old guard verses new guard

[forest raven]

I'm pretty sure Jjonak joined LWB because NY wanted him on the team and they were picking up the whole LWB squad

[balmy wolf]

yea that was the point

so many good flex supports now

[forest raven]

And they're all Korean

[clear crane]

I think LWB wanted him for apex season 4

But the Wilpons said they couldn’t play it

[sullen berry]

This is what happens when you make a predictions sheet and you have to lack in all your predictions before the first match

@rough obsidian it was streamed live that way

if you wanted to sync the video with their casting, the game audio would then be 6 seconds early

[rough obsidian]

Oh I see

Thanks

[weak osprey]

Are the games up in the OWL client for viewing yet?

[balmy wolf]

These tokens better come very late , watched all the games yesterday and haven't gotten any tokens yet (And i watched in the same form like before when i got the tokens)

[hot heart]

Miro playing

Very cool

[fickle flicker]

so no owl for a couple weeks now?

[fossil star]

tokens = wack

been watching them for hours, with no tokens gained

[viral veldt]

Oof

[narrow oasis]

Carpe beast!!

[viral veldt]

No owl for a few weeks?

[balmy wolf]

Are there any other high-level overwatch tournaments that are not the blizzard sponsored stuff to watch in the offseason?

[compact sable]

@fossil star pretty sure that they're limited to certain regions only

[fossil star]

like what

so basically what you're saying is that the token-giving is racist?

oop

[balmy wolf]

not racist, regions are not racist.

xenophobic

[fossil star]

regions arent ppl

wait omg

did you just assume that i was indian and i cant get tokens because im INDIAN, for which in fact im not. omg

[karmic grotto]

Kids arguing about what's racist or not. This is not the channel for that

[fossil star]

its connected to tokens hun

[balmy wolf]

that's not even a debate.
discrimination against ethnicities, racism.
discrimination against nationalities, xenophobia.

[fossil star]

ok jesus ur smart, we get it hun

[olive owl]

what's the difference between regular season and May Melee?

[smoky geode]

i think may melee has no hero pool so all heros allowed and the looser gets to pick next match

[olive owl]

huh

okay thanks

@smoky geode can you explain me what is Regular season about , and what do these weeks mean? (weeks 16,17,18,19,20... )

I see there is like a different tournament every week

[smoky geode]

ok im kinda new to this but the weeks is the weeks in a season so this season there are 27 weeks

[olive owl]

27 weeks and each week got a different tournament?

[smoky geode]

the games every week arnt as special as things like may melee there is also anouther tourney in june

[olive owl]

so for example

We finished week 16 with May Meelee tournament

will week 17 be as "important" as may melee?

[smoky geode]

imo not really

[olive owl]

I'm also new to this

so my question is

will they keep streaming ALL the weeks?

seems pretty insane

[smoky geode]

i think so depends on the teams tho

[viral veldt]

When's world cup?

[olive owl]

football world cup?

[viral veldt]

Nah owl

Is that what it's called??

[olive owl]

maybe between weeks 1 -27

idk

I don't think there are enough teams in the world playing overwatch to make a world's cup

It seems they only play around asia and America

[smoky geode]

last year was october 28th so maybe some where around that date

[olive owl]

are there teams from all continents?

[balmy wolf]

Not to mention all the players are currently unable to meet up together to play without ping.

[viral veldt]

Oh yeah

[olive owl]

another big question

can I keep earning tokens with next weeks matches?

or was it only for may melee?

[smoky geode]

yes

[olive owl]

yes to what

[smoky geode]

tokens can be earned for watching matches

[olive owl]

ok then

so I have weeks 16(finished), 17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26, and 27 to earn tokens, right?

[smoky geode]

yeah you get 5 tokens every hour

[olive owl]

yeah

got 75 already

[smoky geode]

ooh well done

[olive owl]

If I keep afk watching streamings I will get a lot after all these weeks lol

fantastic

[smoky geode]

what skin are you going to get?

[olive owl]

if I keep watching streamings... a lot of em

lol

[viral veldt]

How do u get tokens?

[smoky geode]

[deep wolf]

there should be a small lucio ball tournament in OWL

[oblique cloud]

will there be more streams to get tokens?

im pretty new to this overwtach league thing

will week 17 have the token streams

[true hound]

All weeks will have them

they aren’t limited

[oblique cloud]

oh ok

thank u

[velvet hawk]

Just got a Philly Fusion ad on YT... It's so chaotic

[next mesa]

so

who do you think will win between shock and shanghai

[tropic herald]

Shanghai

[silk frost]

Shock

They play meta in a way that they can easily shut down no nonsense cheese, if you count anything non-meta as "cheese" even up to Yaki on tracer which seems unstoppable

[true hound]

no idea

both are super good

[silk frost]

Shanghai relies on heroes a little on the gimmickier side like Pharah though, and I don't think they're as good straight up as Shock, who will force you off of gimmicks if you want a semblance of a chance at victory

[tropic herald]

Shanghai’s dive kinda stomped on Seoul’s Double Shield

[silk frost]

They've had 2 reverse sweeps this year though

Idk if Shock can physically be reverse swept

Although Shanghai is the only gimmick team that has EVER beaten the shock so idk

[tropic herald]

Shanghai isn’t even gimmicky this year

[primal minnow]

^^^

[silk frost]

but they sometimes play pharah

who is a bit of a gimmick

also their dive >>> Shock dive since Shock doesn't have a winston

[tropic herald]

They play Pharah, how is that gimmick, she’s just good some weeks on some maps

[silk frost]

I'm just saying

[primal minnow]

Yeah. And they only really play her when DDing is playing

[silk frost]

still

[swift moth]

im so hyped to be able to get a gladiator miora skin

[next mesa]

how is playing pharah gimmick doe

and who the hell plays pharah nowadays

[blissful wadi]

Yeah like brig and mei are gimmicky, not pharah

[next mesa]

define gimmicky

[swift moth]

I play pharah

[blissful wadi]

I’m just thinking like dishonest heroes

[swift moth]

my dps is gold so hitscan can't hit me

[blissful wadi]

Like brig mei Moira, the low risk high reward heroes

[quartz badge]

I love florida to the ends of the earth

It’s good that they were finalists

[next mesa]

its cool that they proved themselves

because the last few weeks they had a pretty easy schedule right

[karmic grotto]

https://twitter.com/ggbench/status/1264946270902378499?s=20

dave - bench (@ggbench)

Seeing speculation about Kevster suggesting he doesn’t want to play in OWL and would never accept a pro contract?

Just want to set the record straight so he doesn’t miss opportunities: Kev 100% wants to play in OWL. Turning down bad offers =/= zero interest in going pro.

Twitter

And this is the truth

[swift moth]

so boston gave him an offer

[karmic grotto]

Also Shock and ATL (according to someone, rumour)

Like what the contract offered

[swift moth]

I mean tbh joining shock's roster means you get to keep super company on the bench

[karmic grotto]

These offers were probably made before owl started

Owl season 3*

[tropic herald]

I imagine if the contract is bad

It doesn’t matter if the team is good

I think Kevster is smart for declining bad contracts

[inland flare]

there's going to be a June tournament?

[raw ermine]

I think so

Watch the sideshow skit on the OWL channel

[silk frost]

think they'll remove hero pools?

[limber pine]

Hero pools during the season is the only reason the tournament had decent usage

[silk frost]

you mean viewership?

[true hound]

drops tho

[silk frost]

yeah and the idea of good teams actually going against one another

also the mayhem, uprising, and valiant doing surprising things

[swift moth]

I like the idea of teams having time to prepare for the tournament

instead of being told what heroes they can play a week before

[tropic herald]

I think it was weird that so many people were surprised by Mayhem Uprising and Valiant

[primal minnow]

People just expected Paris to beat valiant and uprising with ease tho

[echo quest]

OW should have a FPL

[raw ermine]

Is jehong officially playing in the showmatch or not?

[next mesa]

he is

officially

😃

[digital cloud]

they gonna get rolled though

[raw ermine]

good

[digital cloud]

I wish they weren't. but it is gonna be a slaughter

[next mesa]

I mean

[raw ermine]

they kinda will tho

[next mesa]

if only they had esca

[raw ermine]

The runaway roster has aged better

well

idk about runner

but haksal, stitch, Kaiser, twilight and bumper are all good

[digital cloud]

I maintain Ryujehong would still be a legend if he had not had so many disappointments after the league started

[next mesa]

he still is legend

[digital cloud]

well, yes

I meant that he would still be at that level

probably a little worse, as he is getting older

[next mesa]

hes just getting old man

28

thats like boomer age for esports

[digital cloud]

thought he was 27 dang

[next mesa]

esports has problem

like the career span is just too short

[true hound]

people do be retiring after one stage

[raw ermine]

28.6666 years old approx

[next mesa]

yeah i mean

thats the problem

thats also why investors doubt esports

like I think marc cuban said that

[digital cloud]

esports is goin to be making more money that real sports soon, if it hasn't already

investors need to wake up

maybe OW won't be making bank, admittedly

but just look at LOL

or Dota 2

crazy huge

[next mesa]

everyone involved in owl is losing money

except like the players and the coaches

[digital cloud]

yeah, that I know

lost so many viewers

[next mesa]

hopefully with the tokens we bring it back

[digital cloud]

and the ones that returned due to tokens are probably bots or people that leave it open to farm

[next mesa]

I mean dafran totally nailed it

he said that owl was gonna die when it moved to youtube

and hes said when he meant dying he meant 50k viewers

which is like totally accurate

[digital cloud]

it was lower than that for a while lol

[tropic herald]

Only reason it’s above 50k is tokens

[echo quest]

I don’t think it has to do anything with age better talent comes along

[tropic herald]

Or really big games at prime time

[digital cloud]

I tend to only enjoy Houston and Atlanta games

the community tournaments are more enjoyable to me

[next mesa]

i mean

[digital cloud]

that echo tournament was FINE

[echo quest]

Jjonak was the consensus best support in s1 now not anymore

[next mesa]

grand finals doe

[tropic herald]

The monthly tournaments are good

[next mesa]

now

is it twilight

i mean nyxl kinda underperforming

they have a lot of talent

[digital cloud]

so did Atlanta, I thought

and Houston

but I was wrong

Nyxl is going the way of Atlanta and Houston

[raw ermine]

When will we get haksal's signing announcment?

i hope this isn't a jebait and he is getting signed to a LOL team

[next mesa]

haksal to nyxl?

[raw ermine]

That..

[next mesa]

whoru is like mini haksal

[raw ermine]

would be unnecessary

what if dallas signed Haksal?

dropped Zach, AKM, Harry, trill

unkoe

and pooled the money to get haksal

[strange flame]

i keep seeing ppl named haksal in my qp matches

[tropic herald]

Anyone know if tokens will be on when NA and Korean Contenders are on the OWL channel?

[echo quest]

Idk

[fickle palm]

should be

dont see why they wouldent be

[karmic grotto]

Why would Dallas sign Haksal

[next mesa]

doha/decay perfect tbh

[raw ermine]

didn't he quit?

and sort of start bashing OWL?

[worn falcon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tropic herald]

Yes

He left OWL

And all he’s done since is bash OW and OWL

It’s really sad

He used to be respected and still would be but his presence on Twitter has really taken away any respect he formerly had

[weak bolt]

Still relying on OW to try get him some clout. Perhaps he's realised OWL isn't dead without him

[raw ermine]

woah

monte is back

pog/weirdchamp

[silk frost]

monte isn't back

monte is using OWL coaches for attention and spotlight

[digital cloud]

why?

OWL is in bad shape

what did he even move to?

[tropic herald]

LoL

[digital cloud]

why would he need OWL for clout from that

[tropic herald]

Idk man

[digital cloud]

didn't he used to be very popular there

[tropic herald]

I don’t respect him but some of his takes aren’t bad about OWL

It’s kinda weird

https://twitter.com/montecristo/status/1264940876448411648?s=21

MonteCristo (@MonteCristo)

The truth about analysis/coaching is that when you don’t need mechanics for your job, it’s much more efficient to learn by grinding film and speaking to players

I spend little times playing games because that time is instead used for VOD review

The results speak for themsel...

So monte was losing an argument and then just made fun of custa’s streaming numbers?

[digital cloud]

sounds about right

[karmic grotto]

New blood

I hear screaming

Alot of screaming

I wonder who

[digital cloud]

why

[silk frost]

Think about this.

the year is 2018. The season just concluded, the 0 - 40 dragons haven't made any moves yet, the Mayhem are forgettable, and the Shock were mostly unimpressive, but getting better. NYXL, Valiant, and Gladiators all finished very well, along with the Spitfire.
Tell that version of yourself that the Mayhem, the Dragons, and the Shock will be the top 3 teams in 2020.

oh yeah and the 3 s1 top teams I previously mentioned? yeah they're all middle of the pack

debatably

[tropic herald]

Valiant gave up on all their players and went budget

Gladiators

The same

London

The same

[silk frost]

yeah forget that

imagine telling those things to a 2018 OWL viewer without any other information

also the Glads didn't really go budget considering their tankline and Paintbrush, maybe Birdring

Jaru was budget, but MirroR was moreso risky than budget

[tropic herald]

Definitely cheaper than what they payed for Season 2

[silk frost]

well yeah but decay cost like a billion dollars

[tropic herald]

Went from RoaR Void Decay

To OGE Space Burdring

I’d say the only upgrade they made was OGE

[silk frost]

debatably a better tankline since RoaR isn't as good as OgE

remember at that point Void wasn't a top off tank he was kinda just average

[tropic herald]

Void has always been good imo

He played on tell a team that ran Surefour on Zarya and Roar at MT

[silk frost]

yeah he was good, but he was basically just "shield bot for Surefour until things die, maybe do damage yself a bit"

[tropic herald]

What’s he going to do

But now he’s on a team with competent MT and just an insane support line

[silk frost]

I disagree actually

I think LJG is great but makes too many mistakes (understandable since he's so aggro), but Iyazaki isn't really that amazing imo

he's good, maybe even great, but they shoulda made a play for Twilight

[tropic herald]

Did you watch Izayaki in their finals game

Legit cracked

[silk frost]

I missed the last 3 maps but from everything I've seen of him he's been unimpressive at worst and great at best, meanwhile Twilight never dips below great

[tropic herald]

Twilight is also insanely expensive

Tbh

[silk frost]

fair

[tropic herald]

Shanghai could drop a third of their roster

[silk frost]

I mean he 1v1'd a pharmercy and hit the pharah with a NADE

like who tf does that

[raw ermine]

the sfs final eichenwalde play?

he hit a wall

not a direct

[silk frost]

still

[tropic herald]

Diya Geguri and Dding will never see playtime

[silk frost]

like who looks at a pharah and is like "ez anti right there"

even if it's on a wall

[tropic herald]

Idk why they are on the roster anymore

[raw ermine]

Geguri cause, well, yk

diya cause..

chinese?

and dding cause pharah meta?

[silk frost]

dding is a better pharah than Fleta so maybe that's why? or depth/backup?
Geguri... very sad, so sad
Diya, it's a darn shame. He's basically stomping on all of chinese contenders on his own

[tropic herald]

I doubt to ever see Dding in over Fleta

Even with a Pharah meta

[silk frost]

depth I'm assuming

[tropic herald]

Geguri will never ever in a hundred years play over Void

Diya maybe????? But he’s competing with LIP and Diem for a starting spot

[silk frost]

or fleta

if he decides to click heads

if Diya was on Chengdu he'd be the best dps right?

[tropic herald]

Yes

He’s better than any dps chengdu has

Which makes me sad

[silk frost]

I was questioning is it him or leave tbh

DIya could play for any team not named shock, fuel, or dragons and be their starter hitscan tbh

if he spoke the lingo

[tropic herald]

The other issue is he speaks Chinese

[raw ermine]

Geguri could be a streamer maybe?

idk

[tropic herald]

Which is rough

[silk frost]

tbh I wanna make an OWL team that's another korean team

and then sign team CC

[tropic herald]

Busan or Incheon

[silk frost]

like the Busan Rebels and sign 1987, SeeYa, Diya, and Innovation

[tropic herald]

They need more EU teams

And maybe a SA or AUS team

[silk frost]

how sick would a team with Over, 1987, SeeYa, Diya, Innovation, and Coma be tho

[short sparrow]

How about 1 of each?

Get it to 24

1 EU, 1 AUS, 1 SA, 1 SK

[silk frost]

I agree

[short sparrow]

That'd great

😄

But I don't think they'll be selling more spots any time soon

[tropic herald]

I think 28 is a good number to go for

[silk frost]

the Madrid something, The Rio Revival, the Sydney Manta Rays, and the Busan Rebels

[raw ermine]

I think 32 is the best as it is 2^5

[short sparrow]

Hmmm, probably Berlin or something

[tropic herald]

32 would be good too

[raw ermine]

so tournaments could have easier brackets

[silk frost]

The Berlin Walls

[raw ermine]

lmaoo

[tropic herald]

No

[short sparrow]

Or something in scandinavia

xD

[silk frost]

The Moscow Bears

[raw ermine]

1 more canadian team

[short sparrow]

spain isn't as big in esports, thats all

[tropic herald]

Berlin

[silk frost]

Manitoba Vikings

[tropic herald]

Oslo

[raw ermine]

montreal is the 3rd biggest?

[tropic herald]

Venice

[raw ermine]

I forget

[tropic herald]

Quebec

[short sparrow]

Venice > Rome?

:/

[silk frost]

Roman Spear

[tropic herald]

Rome kinda weird

[short sparrow]

Yeah, you already got gladiators...

[silk frost]

it'd feel like it was sitting all over valiant and glads tbh

[short sparrow]

You could have leggionaires

Since Glad Legion ain't a thing xD

[tropic herald]

Mexico City

Rio deJanero

[silk frost]

The berlin Unbreakable

[short sparrow]

Idk

[tropic herald]

Tokyo

Busan

[silk frost]

Tokyo Lightning

[short sparrow]

I feel like Mexico ain't that big either in esports

[raw ermine]

I was gonna say

[short sparrow]

It should be somewhere important

[raw ermine]

busan must be the next team

nothing else

[short sparrow]

Or somewhere they want to expand

Busan makes sense

[tropic herald]

Give us Busan Wave

[short sparrow]

Rio and Sydney would make sense to expand those regions

[tropic herald]

Ideally they would make another midwestern US team but seems unlikely

[silk frost]

Busan Renegades
Rio Revival (sign alemao damnit)
Sydney Devils (like tasmanian devils)
Quebec Lioness (sign Aspen or some shit idk)
Honolulu Pueo

[raw ermine]

why anamo

cause he is good at mercy?

[silk frost]

Not anamo

[raw ermine]

ark?

[silk frost]

fuck who's the brazil player

[raw ermine]

alemao

close enough

[silk frost]

yeah you can see how my small brain confused that right

[raw ermine]

ye

[tropic herald]

Busan, Rio, Sydney, Quebec, Berlin, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Denver

Boom

[silk frost]

Denver??

[tropic herald]

8 cities

Denver is a really good place to have an esports team

[silk frost]

I'd rather have 2 new korean reps

[short sparrow]

Brazil's ow is dying 😦

never been much alive

but you know

[raw ermine]

quebec is a province

montreal or quebec city are better

[tropic herald]

Incheon over Denver

I was gonna say that

[tropic herald]

I mean Quebec City LoL

All of OG Brazil Gaming House left 😦

incheon inchworms

Incheon White Whales
