I explained this in the vc last night
Going full korean isn't always the answer. You need the right players. Florida S2 and Justice S3 would tell you so
Washington justice omegalul
it's the sad truth . koreans are the best at esports in 80% of the casses
Why is it sad?
i swear, if i have to see any more of that trash ass COD mobile ad with shitty graphics and lame content. im just going to walk away from the tv
Please don't humor my casual ignorance with serious responses.
less opportunities for EU and NA when people automatically look to Korea
band aid fix for teams apparently is full Korean xddddd now the justice is the worst
dont think its that sad. Korea actually has a esports college-like system. NA and EU dont really support it cause esports isnt look on as a career
True
EXACTLY
Waaaay more emphasis on esports in Korea
yeah, they're ahead of everyone
that’s what I said last night, it’s not treated like a loser in their moms basement 
but i could be viewed as sad because others dont have it
its sad NA wont recognize it as a true career sure
at least it’ll take more time to get there
phat firestrike damn
lol im back i have nothing to do
so it’s definitely growing more and more
hello again
@fierce narwhal 😭😭😂
i know there was a fortnite scholarship but that might have been fake
7 minutes LMAO
LOL
well yeah there;s that too . In Europe when you speak of Esports people either don't understand or start laughing at ya when you say people have a salary out of playing a game, older people mostly
im going to go play overwatch bye
yyup

lol im so bored
it's like an insane concept lmao
EU/NA will probably be another 20 years before esports becomes as main stream as Korea imo.
bro if you play rein and you see an enemy rein, you just gotta start swinging
assert dominance
in 20 years we gonna get VR esports 🙂
oh boy
i be back for next match but i need to eat cya 4now
We need the generational shift to get there. We have too many people who believe esports are just a joke and physical sports > everything
vr esports is gonna be an actual war lul
@weak bolt definitely
I always thought NA is like Korea with the understanding of the esports scene and pro gaming etc . I mean here in EU people straight up don't take you seriously
plus, most parents arent exactly open to that sort of thing either
tbf physical sports is just more fun to watch, hence all the money goes there
Correct me if Im wrong, but physical sports aren't overly popular in Korea
no idea
Not to same level as US/EU anyway
i think we found our answer here Errorr
also the thing with esports in NA is ppl dont see it as a long career, or making enough to justify maybe the 3-4 years in it
while sacrificing most of ur younger years sitting in front of a screen

kruise is a feeedeeer
poor kruise
I'm a feeder?
dogman what a legend

Man i need that London from the inaugural season back . i miss them
I despised that London team so much. They were good, yes, but dreadfully boring.
No personality.
same
@vagrant jacinth 🙂
how much tokens have yall got today
inaugural season champs baybee
30 tokens
35 for me hehe
Ratlanta not being bad or just Toronto being bad af
i dont even watch for tokens now bc the app and website are shite
hah good one ratlanta
lmao fair

Bob best player on Defiant
Gg
Gggg
Does no one have the clip of the Bob 4 man?
This is y I miss twitch. U can watch from other ppls perspectives n get great clips
reverse back on youtube player
Wasn't shown on the actual stream. I suspect we'll see highlights when people clip it from match viewer later
Kevster time
hype
When is summer showdown???
2 weeks time
another 3-0 incoming?
Weekend of July 4th
Next week is week 3 of seeding, and then tourney is week after
Oof I dont like that
Its same as last tourney, 3 seeding weeks, then tourney
#stomped
I just wish it was a bit later in July. Like the 7th
It's got to be a weekend, and they have to go straight into the next seeding the week after
soe's hoody is sweet
I was thinking the same thing ^
dusttin is it dusttin actually
Dusttin "Dogman" Bowerman is an American Flex Support player that currently plays for the Atlanta Reign. He also began appearing on desks at events beginning with Tespa Collegiate Series 2017. Dogman, along with Jayne, formed two Open Division teams named The Dogmen - Beagle a...
i fucking love dogman
Dogman gets shit on a lot, but his personality is great for the league
Contenders roster wanting to prove themselves vs Gladiators & Kevster wanting to prove himself
I'm going for LAG 😄
Wait wrong match, ignore me
its k, you made a simple error
Replace Kevster with Onigod, and LAG with Fuel and it makes sense I suppose
sideshow shows up, egg meme is back
Sideshows head is just so shiny
bright as fuck
I'm not sure if its better or worse than 0 eyebrows
OGE & Cloudy? Are we seeing Winston Rein dive
birdring/kevster oh my
did sideshow ever say why he cut his hair??
It was a charity stream
Him and Dpei both did it and raised like $20k
yeah, charity thing
#stomped time
muma on dps?
hes not playing

thats tuff

lmao

who was better tho https://twitter.com/reaper_fucker/status/1274411864471089152
That stream they did was super weird. Watching them all do the super hot wings was best
Kevsters first match and in mei jail
@SideshowGaming hey man do if you keep trying to get me out of my job I'm going to come and steal yours you lil bitch. Now give daddy a smooch and say you're sorry.
212
😳

lol Babybay
It was in reply to Sideshow telling ATL they should play Edison AND Erster
oml

😮
dunno what happened to birdring
Birdring mad

dinkzr
birdring 
Kevster getting a fun intro into OWL playing against Danteh tracer & linkzr hitscan
l i n k z r
now we need blase doom
LAG throwing with this Cloudy strat honestly
dosnt glads have another doomfist??
Outlaws showing up
linkzr ooh
nice
baybee
glads better hope they have anubis in the map pool
is Kevster in NA?
cloudy just getting destroyed repeatedly
Think so, he was in NA for contenders in Envy I think?
Have they said why Muma isnt playing?
Hows Kevster been playing I just tuned in. Missed map 1
they actually said recently that Hydration learns better basically
Mei jail stage 1, average stage 2.
when you coach hydration, he listens and applies it well
Map 1 was a bit of a weird one. LAG tried to run Winston/Rein strat
Lhcloudy on the rein?
yeah, cloudy and oge
sounds fun ho
dosnt glads have mirror on bench?
Mirror and Jaru on bench for Glads dps
is anubis in the map pool?
Oh my god
HOLY SHIT
DANTEH
omg

HOLY FUCK
I AM CHOKING ON MY WA TER

DAMN
THAT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN WHAT
bruh wait
danteh clutched so hard i went to 180p
meko wtf
bro the cancel houston on xgames mode
fuck
This is wild
glads fucked LUL
what an attack
LAG looking like how they did against boston
damn
yooo
Linkzr and Danteh are popping off
💚LONG HAVE WE WAITED💚GLADS OVERRATED💚SHIELDS OUTDATED💚OUTLAWS ACTIVATED
another clean sweep
HAHA
Where are the glads weak? Or is houston in major god mode
this was supposed to be way closer wat
this was supposed to be the opposite lul
houston are just going nuts
I think it's just Danteh and Linkzr are playing super well at the moment
we love to see it tho
honestly i thought meko was a 1 diva wonder
uuuhh , i love this score so far
he's never been a one trick
alright just need linkzer to remember hee's the dinkzer
even in the past his hog was spicy
Linkzr has been playing quite well in 2020
i mean the beginning of this season
i'm all for glads getting stomped
Kevster got dunked on
Welcome to the league Kevster
DANTEH
HOLY SHIT
Sit down kevster
WTF
JESUS CHRIST
naty
wtf dude . omg a god
damn space
I SCREAMED WHEN DANTEH DID TTHATT
space wew
space is giving SPACE lul
episode 11 of "4 mald while space and birdring kill everything"
danteh needs to chill
Birdring isn't having a great game honestly
yeah he really isn't tbh
he's doing enough
he's not bad
he's matching Linkzr who's doing alright enough
he's just good
true true
Rawkus isn't playing like a moron right now
nvm
well?
his flank got a pick so yknow could be -nvm
lmao
there's a reason he's named devil
Danteh movement is nuts
they should add something in the overlay when someone is burning
one good time bank demands another
time goes to hou
I just woke up is this the last match and how did all the other matches go?
stomps
at leasdt its less time
3-0 to shock?
I wouldn't be surprised if the shock/paris match was a record for fastest match ever
yes
This is a good match
yeah
the real game
spark v nyxl highlight of the day
I need to see it, I'm shocked Spark won
Yeah I remember I woke ul like mid game when they were on Blizzard then fell asleep
plus shock steamrolling
Shock steamrolled 2/3 maps, 3rd map wasn't a total roll
chat was going hype
yeah like fastest match since Boston got clapped by Florida in 24 minues
spark match had everything
damn near killed himself
danteh is just too good
keep going on him Kevster, you'll win one of these
Hydration deals a lot of final blows for an orisa
kevster popping off now
did Danteh and Kevster swap compuers?

oh my god danteh
they are deadteh
danteh is just insane
danteh just said swallow
unpopular opinion: nerf tracer/genji/ashe/cree/echo
nerf genji ashe echo
you're right, that is unpopular
Tracer range buff was unnecessary
that dante kill man
buff brig zen
Remember tracer is good here because Brig/Dva aren't in
I think you should bu💚LONG HAVE WE WAITED💚GLADS OVERRATED💚SHIELDS OUTDATED💚OUTLAWS ACTIVATED
why would you ever nerf genji
damage buff too much
hahahaahahaa
in mid to low ranks he's quite op
who cares about them
no hes not
I went from awful genji to clapping everything
genji right now is where he should be
I think the genji damage buffs were ok, but they should have increased his ult charge requirements a bit too
I disagree
Make genji more useful outside of being a blade bot
blade is already weak on its own
I think they should have balanced the game around tracer/genji and change them minimally
yeah but blizz has far went past that
released a character that says haha fuck you to him
nerfing healing would make the game so much better
healing is at a low since 2017
no it isnt
They need to lower healing, damage, and shields a bit at the moment. And change armour
they need to lower availability
side note does any1 ever feel the effects of bastion and junkrats buffs?
😮
healers have too much ammo, ammo management don't mattter anymore
LAG back to crap mode
yes
Im suprised Outlaws are fighting
lag 0-2 wow
daamn
poggers ngl
i want my Doomfist back like when he was released . one shoting people is soo much fun . Now he's been nerfed too hard
yea
sideshow went bald?
eggshow
Shaved his head for charity
@silk frost it's balanced by no one peeling for the healers or focus firing being abismal
balanced by burst damage
I just think supports have too much healing available to them
these tracer plays are really nice
yeah
sideshow looks cute ngl
Danteh kinda popped
he did
healing is so strong that anything that isnt burst damage is useless
kings row next
but like Baptiste heals were fine, THEN they were OP when he had his ammo buffed
Ana was fine, THEN they buffed her ammo
Ashe was fine, THEN they buffed her ammo
but remember the heal was nerfed
ammo buffs are getting too much imo
mercy literally outheals monkeys gun
oh really? i couldv'e sworn both were 55
nope
Wtf is that LGBT copy pasta in chat
moira equals out against winston
NO
i have site opened up i cant see chat
heroes like moira, brig, baptiste just have so much healing
hotba would be unstoppable
survivability
I will say I think modern repair pack is honestly better than old repair pack by a significant margin
soldier buff, give him an m249 saw
moira healing is terribly op
I disagree
hahaha
her resource is busted
no ❤️
can we nerf reins ult range
sigma needs a nerf
if people would stop being bounced away when i hit them dead on, i'd be so happy
if anything
nah
although sigma isnt op hes just meta
they should change sigma rock back BUT make it so his shield doesn't block until it stops
I think it’s a bug but meis cryo can actually block baps immorality field
not a bug
what hero would you like to rework ?
Like her heal block
I have a lore/gameplay explaination
I think they need to rework more fundamental things first, like how Armour works
I can explain if you wan
give him a shield 🤡👍
i mean mei is almost a tank as is so....
do yall think OW2 will be released in the start-mid of the next season of owl
I think it'll be released in mid november
its coming in december
next but thst seems rushed
i dont think it would be this year but idk'
Can’t wait to play ow2 on my Nintendo switch
Maybe next spring Jan/Feb
I'd have said Nov/Dec before Covid19, no idea how much of an impact that will have had
hopefully cause if it gets delayed people are not gonna care about the game anymore
oh Kevster is on high ping
OW2 gonna have cross-plat play
everybody gon be all over the new consoles and the new games
danteh is goddamn nutty
Cross play would be a mess
I'm assuming the cross play will be for PVE
my baby OGE 😢
i was mainly wondering on the introduction of like 3-5 new heroes in owl all at once if it released when the next season starts
i honestly don't think that ow2 is going to get much attention or even new interest. idk, i feel that unless you are a fan of ow then not many people will buy the game
All depends on when ow2 comes out, we have no idea on that
Bastion rework make him a tank obv
Primary fire: Reduce damage per shot by 3 (20-17)
Reduce fire rate by 15%
Turret form: Reduce fire rate by 75%
Increase damage by 2 (15-17)
Give him his old shield back pls thx
Reconfigure: Now reduces damage taken by 10% when in recon form
Tank form: Reduce damage by 50 (200-150)
Increase duration by 2s
Now have 3 lil circle shields be spinning around him with like 150 HP each
General changes: Give him 50 HP and 50 armor
Reduce ironclad effect to 10% (was 20%)
why is this in here?
bc we talked about it earlier
ok idk
that's interesting
wait the match isnt over
nope
its kings row and lag is running a rein player now
LH CLOUDY LET'S GO DUDE
Bastion is just a weird hero now. Even if you rework him he’s such an immobile hero wouldn’t he still be flanked. The big issue is its pretty easy to outplay bastion if the positioning isnt right
Bastion would need a full rework, in current form he's either useless or OP. No real in between
i would say orisa is more mobile then bastion
I know
Orisa can rotate better than Bastion to counter flanks
Orisa is a slow, single-point tank
Bastion would be an immobile, single-point wall
orisa has the abilities to make something in the game and help your team
27 / mins
that bastion change seems kinda bad
hes only gonna work with orisa
even then he has no peel
or sigma maybe even zar/d.va depending on how strong the shield is
bastion has his abilities tailor for him . IF he will be a tank than he needs team based abilities like orisa
basically I wanted to make him old Orisa
yea
this is the tweet they show?
lul linkzr
you could replace reconfigure with the thing like what I did for his ult, but on a teammate
is there a better tweet
where you have shields spinning around someone until they break
He would definitely need a mobility buff
lmfao wat is bren saying
even if you don't do that he would be 2x as team oriented as Hog
Remove his sentry mode, and let him use his bird as a weapon
obv

LaG never have won King's
i would love the bird as a weapon
in 2020
wait really
Recon ability, or it does a weird squawk and removes sound from opponent
This is exactly what I wanted to see
LH CLOUDY HOLY HELL
These flanks are just redicolous poggers
what is this
point blanked
Kill the rein
have LAG become the new Chengdu?
LH cloudy makes the team stupid and it's great
dang
FLANKhardt
This is great
HE'S JUST GOING IN
What kinds reddit team are they trying to be
WHAT THE FUCK
this is so much of a difference
Cloudy is just a Chengdu spy trolling the NA teams
I can't wait to see all the Reins in comp next week
THIS IS FILTHY
how to REALLY play rein
omg
i like this
flanking
flankhardt
This is just godly
let's also give credit to Dipeh and the coaching staff
Cloudy in ya backline
there are getting smacked
Remember when LAG were malding at a team for using cheesy strats? 😄
HHAHAHHA
Oge: I wanna play well and bring my team victory
LHCloudy: HAHA REIN GO BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Hydration needs to go Rein and try something
Ckiudy gotta chill
wtaf is this match
Hydration and LHCloudy should just brawl together
Where is Jecse?
3 mins
Does oge play rein?
Why isnt Jecse on the lucio
yeah he do
Rawkus on the lucio?????
the way things turned around lmao
how the turns have tabled
those were some big brain 3000iq strats
i havent seen this playstyle
wtf is happening
Thats a big brain tactic
Wow
a flanking rein
BIG BRAIN
I thought they went to the spawn
thats tuff
wtff
what is this match
these guys' brains are so fucking fat
LMFAOOO
that's one for the books
this is the best match of the day
Loool boozled
well yall can tell who i want to win
Not sure they could manage this on Anubis 😦
BOOZLE'D
this match is the best kek
Rawkus small brain play
I thoughtt they would just take the Loss
I guess it worked though
wow hosutonw on that
it's been a good day of owl
omg this is insane
i think either biggoose or shaz are the problem
cloudy...
Houston need Linkzr to get a couple of super early picks to win anything here
How can they even comprehend this
glad looking way better now
oh no
LMAO
FUCK
WHAT A SHATTER
MADMAN CLOUDY
MADMAN
cloudy is such a good rein
i guess they been playing some kings row
FUUCK
him and super are something else
NUTTY
damn
Houston tanks are just being run over
i want glads to win just to see another map
Cloudy is out here in these streets.
cloudy was a great sub
damn
a 3 min hold tuff
I'm not sure the Cloudy strat will work as well on 2CP, but I look forward to seeing them try
now we see the gladiators pull off a bamboozle?
LAG should just go straight to point and get cover against the high ground, force houston onto point
LOL
C9
OMG
HAHAHA
like that
WTF
wtf
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Wtf what that
???????????????
omg thats too funny
tuff
ok that was a good game.
MEATY SHATTER
I missed it, what did I miss?
such a good map
it was wild
You missed one of the all time best plays in OWL history.

Imagine silver/gold style ranked game strats, but with OWL level aim
CLOUDY ON DA REJN
10000IQ fat brain plays
I love him
okay hear me out. Bap does 30 healing but has increased fire rate and ammo
insane plays my god
sure, he may have ostensibly higher hps, but youd rather have more burst than consistent healing
@SideshowGaming hey man do if you keep trying to get me out of my job I'm going to come and steal yours you lil bitch. Now give daddy a smooch and say you're sorry.
928
BRUH
30 healing every .5 secs equals 60 healing a sec
and baps healing wasnt inconsistent in the first place
So, in other words, you want to make Bap an even better Soldier 76 than he already is.
brig is balanced
ill be the roundabout
brig is so balanced its not fun to play her unless u have a team that knows teamwork
Armour needs a rework, Brig as a hero is ok. If her healing was pure health or shields, it'd be better imo
she just isnt
also yes rework armor pack
when 1 tracer has an armour pack and the other doesnt
no LHCloudy = no win
skill no longer matters
If armour pack was just Shield Pack, I'd say it'd be more fair
to top that off she takes like 2 brain cells to play which is nice
a plat tracer with armour will destroy a gm tracer without it
sounds like a squishy problem
BOOOOOOO
???
NO CLOUDY BOOOOO
it is a brig problem
GENJI :pog:
what map is next if glads win?
no its a sqishy character that can be burst down like everything else
and the highest base health of all supports
genji 
Ilios next I think if goes to map 5
just don't brawl against brig ezpz
ilios
fuck they went to tracer
what about brig dive comp
spit
brig does way too many things for how many brain cells she requires
hahaha what
brig echo tracer is broken
but imagine a support wanting to protect themselves
u mean how little mechanical skill she requires
"the unseen ball is deadliest" - bren 2020
we don’t have anything against brig being antidive
As I said
Armor pack is the issue
dumbass ability
lol
she isnt anti dive anymore
she boosts dive now
she is currently the backbone of dive like zen was
She’s antidive and enables dive
She... does both.
Pog
its also a great healing ability outside of her passive
I'd make armour pack scale based on characters max hp. That way tracers get less benefits, tanks get more
she's not really played much in my games
AOE heals, a cc on short cd, enables dive, counters dive, single target healing
What more do you want
Like damn she’s loaded with everything
yeah she kinda built to do alot by design
Brig is kinda useless against ranged dps in fairness. You have to be in the face of enemy
she was given a shieldy boi
how often do you actually play against a dive w/ brig?
Sure it does, it gives her disadvantages/counters
just shoot her 4Head
i rarely play against brig honestly
squish
just don't brawl her ezpz
this guy is a troll
but how often does it happen irl @true hound
press s
doesnt realise brig is meta outside of brawl
well dive is just a forced brawl basiaclly lol
doesn't realise brig is strongest with DIVE heroes like tracer genji
dive and brawl are very different
She's also one of the few heroes that stops every game being tracer/genji metas
but do you play against it irl...@harsh tulip
anyway OWL
hydration lmao
nah brig is the reason tracer is meta
void i don't seem to have the same problem with brig and her armor packs as you idk what to say
i see tracer all the time without brig lol
They windowed the bob?
baptiste
i haven't heard a gm say that anyone other than brig is the best support
i have
in the last 2 months at least
like last week
Got to consider that like 95% of the player base is gold/plat/diamond, not GM
yeah i hear from streamers that bap is best
what
void i'd just forget this dude, dw
the top ranked streamers
yea
But gold and plat are the primary ppl keeping the game alive...
Baps abbilities are great
just gonna move on to the match
ok and
good idea, why debate when u can ignore
Game isn’t balanced around pepega ranks
yeah, not worth the energy lmao
well this is esports discussion
linkzr is outrageous
ur not debating ur trying to convice ur right
Not like Brig was being played 100% of all OWL matches when unbanned though
would you like to change channels
that is essentially debating is it not?
no
hahaha
ur right i guess i mean discussion
sometimes i forget owl can use mercy
This conversation is getting silly. Obviously different heroes are played more or less at different ranks/levels of play. But if we're talking about what's "meta" it's silly to bother looking anywhere else that isn't the top of the ladder, which would be GM and above (pro-play). Because, to be frank, players at lower levels aren't actually skilled enough to truly grasp what is and isn't good, nor how to play said hero to achieve that value.
i have a different opinion and your idea is to ignore, now thats 10/10
go discuss with the peeps in #overwatch dudie
LINKZR
omg linkzr
LINKZR
LINKZR
WHAT
THAT WAS SO CLEAN
DINKZR
DINKZR BABY
DINKZER IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PHARMERCY DENIED
Beautiful
pharmercy in 2020
DINKZR BABY
LINKZR
JUST CLIK HED
big
Rawkus?
Rawkus why
ur pfp is torb
i would disagree i think lower rank ppl can grasp on how to play the hero its just doing the play is the issue
anime profile pictures 
anime cringe
ur pfp is torb
i think rawkus needs to be benched a bit
its just weird
hmmm
You'd need a replacement if you wanted him benched
just seems like a meme to me
it is
exactly
exactly what?
EZ!
u forgot that part
ROLLED AND SMOKED
GG
Nice
MY D O G G I E S
gg
HA HA
Gg
ggs
ggs
G G
Space looks dead inside
E Z
i dont hate memes
Is Linkzr not in same house as team?
no anime
space bigsad
you said "exactly" when i said it was meme
its just these tryhard memes
and then didnt explain
torb is hot
what
linkzr is house in swed i think
OGE is about to punch his monitor...
no Cloudy no win
im not sure tho
ok ur just confusing
every round that oge played they lost
No way Linkzr is in sweden, he must be US based
OGE left dallas just to lose to houston
hes finnish
i wasnt sure
no CLOUDY no WIN
linkzr is from finland
my bad
not sure where he lives tho
Just looked like he was in his own room, while rest of team were in a group room
they had CLOUDY in the first map and they lost
they also had oge
good job houston . proud of ya
it cancels out
this was a cool game
you know what i mean
it was a good game ngl
The cloudy strat was pure cheese, it wasn't going to win them 4 maps
Wait linkzr is finnish?
Dubs
I’m happy for meko
yes
Oh
Was I the only one who saw this coming?
yeah i thought he was swed
wow danteh got 5 kills there
i thought HOU was gonna win but i thought it was gonna be a 2-3
Linkzr, Shaz, Biggoose, Masaa and Cloudy all finnish
kings row was super wild
true
are yall hydrated

posture check
Houston is better head to head at a majority of roles, I love it
stay hydrated homies
Stay hydrated
glads support line seems pretty weak
they're a solid team tbf
hydration need some slep
If you think Biggoose and Shaz are a weak support line go watch the Titans play. Thats a weak support line
they are a weak tank line
...
Lol
Don’t diss Roolf like that
the new titans or old titan 
Stop picking on the Titans.
The glads are somewhat lacking in dps; that’s the reason for the troubles
Meanies.
yh
is onigod good?
Yea
i dont watch contenders unless its a clip or whatever
yh
Dont trust Brens suspicions. He is at war with ants he cant make sound judgments
lul
