Philly, SFS, Valiant recently, Shanghai
Here’s a pretty accurate power rankings
Yea dragons are a very good team
Albeit their starting 6 are not the same as last year
Yeah
He found no joy in playing the game so he went to valorant
👉 👽
ye i thought so
philly is too low imo
the 2nd tier should go
charge
spark
philly
valiant
florida
nyxl
Philly lowkey shitting the bed
Atlanta lost too gladiators
I think it's pretty accurate
I think Philly are a bit better than the zhou teams
Apparently PAC Contenders is gone

@tropic herald Okay WTF does "more competitive control over a team..." even mean
We're thrilled to announce @Packing_10's new title and role as LA Valiant's General Manager and Head Coach.
With this position comes more competitive control over a team he has already shaped for success, we can't wait for even more great things to come! https://t.co/NNOumKV...
760
I’m assuming this means they like what packing10 is doing with the team so they give him more power
Yes, but "more competitive control"? Like as BS made-up and meaningless terms go, that's pretty up there.
I have no idea what it means lol
jesus christ packing has like 3 other jobs on top of this now lol
hes also the gm for the valorant team, and is part owner of a contenders team as well
Packing10 is american right
idk
P10 is a powerhouse
I'd like to see this team make it out of open division
^
Would be good, but world cup isn't happening this year
oh
WC or an alternative could easily be done online
Boston underrated change my mind
Apart from Jerry and chex, nobody else is performing
bruv theyve all been doing good in general
better at least
they arent the shitshow that was the first weeks
even against Fusion
like there was no chance they were gonna win that ofc
but it wasnt a HARD stomp
which is always good
Could've went waay worse
I wanna see more big brain plays
i want a better Seoul 
Any egirls in chat
@rustic tulip can you not post that in every channel
if you're that desperate go irl and walk into every restraunt you see and ask every girl out there
don't post it in here
rona my guy'
obviously
don't post it in every channel
there's no point
download some shit like tinder
don't post it in here
:) any egirls in chat
you an egirl?
yes
come over
k
Does anyone think that pine is an overhyped DPS player
No, he hasn’t played in 2 years and has insane aim
pine was playing with pros in ranked and still destroyed them (exception for ans on widow )
Pine was a coinflip player
Any egirls in the chat?
I think in a situation where you'd exclusively play Widow, then Happy is top 3
But his problem is he has shitty game sense
Babel is top 5 widow
babel is the MVP
Shock have started 1-2 every season. Through 15 games they were:
2018: 5-10
2019: 12-3
2020: 13-2
fun fact
Babel is sick
dude that play was insane
they already have nenne i guess
Nenne isn’t flashy but he’s still very good
Babel > Nenne
who
I'd be inclined to agree
im not even saying that as a spitfire fan tbf
o
hes honestly such a good widow
yes ans is best
decay maybe close because god performance
but babel is top 3, atleast top 5
whos top 3
too bad diem dont get much playtime
diem best widowmaker back in season 2 all stars pepelaugh
godsb
dude who is ksp I havent heard of him until recently
i think babel is a better widow than carpe
BQB too 
What about lip and fits? They showed they are good widows?
Ksp is fucking nuts on widow ngl
Yeah but I don't think I'd put either of em in top 5
Teams are so fucking stacked it's incredible
idc about London
but Babel is my favorite player bc he's a hitscan specialist who 1v6'd NYXL as Mei
hi
Yo how do you leave a discord server?
anyone not getting tokens from days 20-21-22?? I'm missing like 60 tokens
@balmy wolf right click the server icon on the server list and click "leave server"
I trust in John and all of upper management to conduct a thorough investigation. I applaud John for his swift actions when we found about the incident earlier today and will await the results of our findings https://t.co/wgxtqEtHOq

the anthony stuff?

were there witnesses? I haven't seen too much about this
Good thing I don't read much around owl teams and stuff. Really have no time to waste

easports to the game
Anthony is their graphic designer and now he has multiple people coming out with stories of various abuses
what grand final are they talking about?
Last year I believe
Who are you asking?
I think he could be easily be replaced if you are asking generally
Oh shit runaway made a bid
For a LCK spot next season
Hope runner and Flowervin can get it
They would create a good team
What's LCK
yep ^
Fun fact runner is the dude who discovered faker
can someone explain what is going on with yeh
in regards to what?
I trust in John and all of upper management to conduct a thorough investigation. I applaud John for his swift actions when we found about the incident earlier today and will await the results of our findings https://t.co/wgxtqEtHOq

the graphic design in FLM was accused of sexual misconduct and he is commenting on it
One note: @thibbledork was at the grand finals as a fan. He purchased a ticket with his own money. To suggest he was sent there as some sort of "handler" is just false. We are not an intelligence agency and don't employ handlers.

Punk is too op
@next mesa 
@karmic grotto Ceiu tried, doesnt work well on linux, gets wonky. You get a decent fps then goes down and stutters. and he have a beefy pc, plus you're at risk of being suspended or banned because using a OS not intended for OW.
Youre better off investing in a mac, which undermines the point of running on Linux
One of the now NA players is currently in the OW League after pouring hours on their Macbook pro running bootcamp
@worn falcon that's debunked. https://www.pcgamesn.com/overwatch/overwatch-linux-bans
I saw multiple videos of people playing OW at high fps. I will try it out if I can make this work
@karmic grotto there is nothing debunked here about the bans. Plus https://i.imgur.com/yck5CqS.png
May trigger the system on a unsupported OS
and then, there is stuttering in the game
but again you do you 🤷♂️
That's odd because there are still people on 2020 playing on Linux
Did Ceiu play enough for the shaders to get the amount of cache needed to run smoothly?
DXVK 0.95
Proton 3.16-4
At this point the Linux version is pretty much on par with Windows. The only real difference is aiming is slightly different so your muscle memory may need time to adjust.
Framerate cap is at 237 for gsync purposes.
This video proves otherwise
Smooth af (looks more like Obs rendering smooth though)
Did you really think that was our only @PlayVALORANT announcement of the day?

double tokens

Oh well... Anyone else can't wait for the weekend for Shock vs Fusion and Valiant vsEternal? 😄
Pog 😮
https://twitter.com/sfshock/status/1276278040117428224?s=21 another day another one bites da dust in the OWL scene
At least they are doing things quickly
Corey let’s fucking go
Zach is competing with Corey in this week T1 ignition tournament
So maybe
He also signed to faze?
what would a humble strawberry farmer want with that?
I'll be honest, that seems a bit sophisticated for Dafran
double tokens
@worn falcon screw it, QUADRUPLE IT
Three weeks and the results show its not working properly for everyone
Worked for me, thats how i got the tokens for 👽 :D
It's either you missed something or you've done everything right...

It's not even a guangzhou thing but the auto translation at 33:47 on neptuno
is that the healthcare plan carpe will introduce when he becomes leader of SK?
thats a fire cake
@pliant pond I love surprise geguri day
The discord mods in her server have planned a secret channel every year to put something together. I think this one is from a fan
really looking forward to the weekend games
it'll be super hard to hold a point
because genji can get his ult so quickly
im pretty sure supports wont be able to keep up with the incoming genji ults
Anyone know when all-stars will be
didn't it get cancelled for 2020
no it is at the end of the season
and for the overwatch league app not sure if you giys have this problem but do live matches also not appear most of the time ?
shock 3-0 or 3-1 fusions
With how Shock look on Double Shield I think that’s fair
Although super did say that Viol2t has been sick so we might not see him
yes
shock is just too fuckin stacked
and rascal will probably outperform eqo on echo
Rascal on echo 
what
Embrace the possibilities in your mind
Washington will take down SFS in the summer showdown
i need helping ranking some flex supports
the players are Creative, Krillin, Molly, Kyo, Highly, Repel, and Byren idk where to rank
Idk much about some of them
But id say Molly Krillin and Highly tank higher
Rank
in what?
valorant
what tourney
T1 ignition series
Kinda funny how Gen G went from smacking like a month ago to getting dumpstered by sentinels
"overwatch players cant aim" yeah man
lol, ow players have to aim more than any other game
(other than main tank of course)
^^
looks at mei players
Y-yeah, lots of aim
moria, mercy, brig
L-lots of aim
@echo quest see sentinels are playing the long game, remember SFS season 1 sinatraa?
I think Phily can make it close
Its going to be which ever team has the better genji
Brig goes well with genji though
The nerf might not even go live
But if it does it’ll be on OWL for the next tournament
Ironic that brings nerf is going to bench genji
tracer and echo might lose some viability
I'm half expecting some bullshit exho genji dive with double blade
That sounds like Chengdu
Mhm but I wanna see some other teams run it
I'm expecting echo genji ana brig for most of the weekend
Genji is bonkers rn
he is in a slightly better place, but ashe mccree tracer reaper mei echo etc still tend to outvalue him
except in cases like sp9kle haksal and whoru maybe
plus honestly he’s gonna be played when Brig is out of rotation
otherwise? Idk
I do wanna see lots of genji
Reaper and McCrea hasn't been played in awhile. Genji buff is live this weekend and the buff made him better than tracer imo
Ashe tracer and echo are looking stronk
Armor packed genji can build blade almost every fight
I think more people have opted for the Ashe pick over the Cree one now
Dynamite is huge
Ashe has been better for past few weeks meta for sure
Because then you’d need two flex players
because echo and ashe are better
Also Ashe is strong
But I can see some teams running echo genji maybe paris
that doesn't make it a good idea
I cant believe people are saying genji sucks
In ladder def not
Genji is overturned especially at a pro level
Brig doesn't counter genji though
Beig enables genji through armor pack
i just suspect echo/hitscan is gonna be meta
def, Echos burst is fat
Armor pack is a bigger plus than how much brig counters a good genji
We will play with Genji patch
Nyxl plz
are you trolling with the genji love?
yea but echos neutral game is stronger is than genji
If I was being realistic most teams will run ashe echo but its no fun
Why am I trolling genji is overturned right now
Armored genji builds blade almost every team fight
so? what does that mean when ashe and echo exist
i think u really underestimate how good teams are at countering blades these days
Nano blade still good also Lucio is out of meta
I like i said many times most team will prolly run ashe echo but I can see genji echo being a thing this weekend @digital cloud
is brig still pooled
sparkle whipped out genji against Boston, that worked out well. Against shock, not so much
Yeah cuz boston
Like I said I don't think genji echo is that bad but different experience/views
I also noticed that a lot of flex are grinding genji right now had to play against a couple not fun
i still think hitscan is still way too strong right now, and echo barely got nerfed so its most likely she'll be ran again
I dont think anyone doubts exho is not being played
something being objectively better and something else being worse than it does not mean the second thing is bad
doesnt matter if ashe is better in neutral if u one shot someone
Ashe has dynamite but Widow has the one shot
We really only see widow on maps where Ashe has falloff issues
I like playing against ahse better at least they have damage fall off
ashe echo is just so good
yeah widows one shot is god damn good
But dynamite forces out so many cooldowns, plus it’s super spammy
It’s also impossible to miss cause the radius
actually from the matches we've seen, the only time widow is barely played is koth maps
Hopefully the dynamite nerf fixes that
tracer however seems like to be one of the best dps rn
especially when paired with a brig
ironically she does well in double shield
Yeah brig armor allows her to have 200+ hp
i'd say tracer is more of a hard carry than widow is
Hmm
i can’t really say which one is more
But if were gonna boil down carry heroes those would take the cake
I think both have enough carry potential
old sig too
sig is still a carry tank if u dont deal with him
look at mayhem OT for example
that guy is fucking cracked
Gargoyle 8s prolly my pick for the best sigma
gargoyle is good
Up there with Void and Choi
but gator and choi last year
nah gator is basically out of the race
for now
Flashback to bastion meta
Gator picked up the hero pretty early on in the playoffs
But all the top OTs basically mastered sigma now
nah, I blindly believe he is still good
as for Atlanta being shit
sadly true
not sure why
they looked very decent last year
i think we overrated them towards the end of the season
like they aren’t standing out at all
Imma just say middle of the pack tank line and middle of pack support line
Edison and Erster are legit
At least they aren’t fuel
Dogman kinda bad and massa is overrated imo
King Babybay
massa by stats alone is a feeder
masaa has gone downhill
I would say Atlanta is overrated. The tank duos were overhyped and Erster is underperforming
Probably for a reason
Gator and Hawk did so well in Atlanta Academy, it seemed they were going to do well
but I think they are held back by the supports
Wasnt there a rumor that he's been under performing in scrims
I am sure, but that happens when they don't play a good player for a while
I mean thats what I mean by overhyped though competition is higher in owl compared to contenders
i mean they werent overhyped for nothing tho
they were literally the 2nd best in contenders in all regions
I also want to believe tankline is better than they are performing and I still think they have good dps
I want to believe Gator and Hawk are great too
but if they are
Atlanta is not letting them show it
many people say it is coaching issues, and I think that makes sense
Tbf I think in the gauntlet last year the most important factor for tabkline was good communication. How are gators and hawks mechanic?
good from what I have seen
I view them like shaz and biggoose used to be
not perfect, but they can hang with anyone
it seems that Atlanta only likes to have them on double shield though
which is meta now to be fair
but it was not so much near the beginning
OK I guess more time will tell. But like someone said already I don't really believe in Atlantas support line
dogman just is not up to par
fire and kodak would likely be the better support line
in theory
and sharp over babybay
a little more erster
and perhaps pokpo being put in occasionally
Has fire even played a map i didn't think hes really that good
Agree on dogmas though flex support got so much better over the years too
I think baby bay has been doing fine though
fire can't be much worse than the alternatives
though them signing some totally new people and ditching dogman and masaa could work
Atlanta should pick up Lr1s or Afoxx
never heard of them
When is owl?
@sand ledge vc
Seems like a good start , app isnj't even showing the stream for 3 weeks already

holy shit i cannot deal with egg sideshow
sideEgg
i wish he would grow a beard lol
Eggshow and Bren Antslayer
Kyo and Lengsa 🤔
does the game look a bit shaky to you guys??
yeah, probably the production
Ah, good thought it was just me lol
Odd though. it hasnt been a problem in past weeks i dont think
omfg the lag makes it so hard to watch
come on hunters
why does contenders never have this issues?
differnt production teams

and owl does alot more stuff than contenders does
I got Happy and Cr0ng on my fantasy team but i want Chengdu to win
guys is it normal on the app that the score keeps showing up on the
sideshow damn boomer
OOF
Daamn
ooh the push
i think they fixed it
Yea it's fine for me now too
thats tuff
eggshow
Lex Luthor
is that Pitbull

DALE
Can't wait to see carpe v happy
Happy's been improving tons
Can't wait to see Happy pop off on widow soon
Baconjack is just getting dunked on by Happy

Chrunch time
baconjack is a pretty good hitscan, but hes not one of the best in the league
He looked good last week but this week hes up against Happy who is just nuts
Chengdu v Shanghai was a nuts game
lmao
Lmao happy
i wanna see some jinmu tho tbh

My favorite Chengdu is the Chengdu that see the meta and says “nahhhh”
Lol

Fuck Meta, Embrace Whatever
When he got stuck and just stopped moving
that's a mood and a half
has Happy uuh
killed anyone this round?
Looool
i think happy can pop off more on defense here
Ye, defense might be better
DAMN
Where on the site can I watch the streams to get tokens?
Welcome to the Overwatch League, your home for all the latest information, news, scores and stats from the league!
log in
Ooh happy
I am logged in
I don't see a stream on the main site
refresh?
Oh word now it works
It hadn't worked for the past 3 weeks
Best I could find was the schedule
Thanks
Can we get tokens now or is there a certain time period for that?
Yeah but can we get them now?
?
Ah so it's 24/7
so long as the stream is up
Awesome kk

POG
Haha
Bop
CHINGLES
fuck it, let's do it live!
Haha
Genji PogU
Genji time
Hahaha
why did jinmu jump back into the open???
trying to get back to his healers, he was getting pressured from either direction it looked like
Holy shit jinmu
damn jinmu is doing great on genji
imagine what haksal will be able to do against the charge tommorow with the genji
OH MY GOD
what are the bans these 2 weeks?
ahh cause the summer showdown is next week right?
this week and tourney week has no bans
might finally get to see dive again pog
Leggo happy
bruh ating got 4 there
Lmao sideshow
eggshow
"That's a Sad Old Monkey"
if only the rock could be deflected
Jinmu getting blades real quick
new buffs are crazy
yeah Genji's ult charge has been mad with the buff if you play it right

that was so lucky lmao
Jinmuuu
christ jinmu just used his ult and he already has 25% again
Good. Just as it should be.
That was sick
watch Blizzard nerf Genji after this lmao
@outer zenith you have no idea how much I'm loving this watch party
we have 3-1 for charge over hunters
probably the rate of the ult but not the damage
@sullen berry Well, we're definitely on track for that.
No surprises there.
but will it miss?
15% 
Oh, snap. I haven't watched the Hunters as much as usual over their last 4-5 games. Has Baconjack been a mainstay in the line up recently?
they are playing on patch with genji buff?
they are
Yes.
Baconjack has been around
Okay.
bacon's been played for niche maps
think they was banking on getting a quick bob
usually he gets subbed in
Ah, okay. That's what I was thinking, as I just didn't recall seeing him as much this season.
It was surprising to see him here, not that I'm complaining.
One of the best names in the game.

Guys I watched 6 hours of OWL last weekend and only received 3 hours worth of tokens. Is there anything that can be done?
watch leave copy mei
What?
RIP MVP skin then
yeah the tokens have been pretty poor since they moved from twitch
Oh well it’s fine just a skin. I just don’t have any MVP skins so
Over the past two weeks I've only received tokens for watching the APAC games. Anything from the Atlantic region hasn't counted.

Yikes
clown nation wya
Charge going through like it's nothing
Holy fuck
or maybe even Cr0ng, he's been lowkey popping off
Oof.

F
the echo on defense
im not too sure about that one chief
im in faze
"winnable"
for Charge, yeah.
;;
gg
outclowned
#1 eu right here^
Haha
Crong was sick
Lmao what
why are you talking here? This is a Valorant esports chat
This gonna be good
Yeah VALORANT!
The Dragons' are just generous token givers.
my new wallpaper
Pausechamp
That's a pretty nice graphic.
Looks sweet
@sage lily it's okay you don't have to believe charge will win, they'll just flex their top 6 status 🙃
ugh i fricked up i restarted the owl app and now the stream is not popping up 
3-2 dragons I'd guess
i'd say 3-2 Seoul that or just 3-0 Shangai no inbetween
Aight
made a custom emoji in anticipation

Lmao that's sick
pls bro let's go goats bro
I just want one more win please bro profit go zarya/brigitte
@vagrant jacinth I missed the last two maps lmao, i was trying to get the emoji just right
had to get the tilt nice and proper

much better
.........

Watch seoul take a map and the pauses begin
that's... what i meant
OOF THE ICE WALL
cmon Seoul
"Shanghai's not gonna be happy about that"
"Get the Router"

Me gusta la guita

yikes
wow
big ooof
Whoever makes the breaks stans fleta and I’m okay with that

I wanted a clown show. what is this, A C9??
Fletaaaa
I believe they were denied pretty hard from the entrance so no
gonna be honest, a mayan map would be pretty fucking epic in OW
though I know they already kinda have a ruins map in CTF
I still want that Mt Maunganui payload map from NZ to be a thing
it was a really outdated map rumor
That was a nice set up on Bridge.
bdsoin: hey, wanna see me get a frag on LIP?
LIP: nah
Yeah, maybe.
That was rough
A Sombra to constantly threaten the back cap.
Keep at least 1 member off the highground bunker.
There's the music lmao
i wish wolf delivered the solitaire analogy better
This match might as well be over 
Seoul getting stomped
Dont think anyone on Seoul is
Who are Seoul playing?
F
That's because BRen is way to good
Idk i kinda like seth and wolf
Tehy're good IMO
There good but I just like side and been better
we just get really amused in vc instead about how boring this would be to cast @viral veldt
I just feel like bren and sideshows reactions are better
This youtube chat has to be filled with
Constant C9 , Fits should quit , Seoul bad
At this piont it's not even funny anymore

Im gold diamond but I'm not that stupid
i liked seoul's point b attack on hollywood tho
SPARK SPARK SPARK SPARK
A LONE SPIDER

OGE lmao
Ty, Imma use that
Spark should take this, but London could upset.
is it just me or is seth's video delayed?
Cotton candy matchup screen.
Wolf keeps walking off lmao
ooh Architect on Echo
LOL
Holy shit highly
hmmmmm
Highly saved us
I predicted spark so expect London to win
how dare
I'm rootin for London but I really love spark too
