he was just waiting

3 ults for that btw
tf
win conditions
soon inted so hard
Just threw so many fights
and paris still win
loving nosmite's winston today
This is really close
ikr
Tbh
i dont think paris will win
Id just sub in xzi
Soom is giving me a headache
Lol
soon standing on a brig and mccree in a hallway wondering whats gonna happen
Actual pepega

stitch lives in a society https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/593907956047806466/739215720562425936/unknown.png
OH LET ME JUST STAND ON THE TWO CHARACTERS THAT HARD COUNTER MY ULT
5000 dollars is so pepega
no other big esports league have such low prices
right?
so?
Yeah we know
pretty sure the justice didn't even win a map
5000 dollars, meanwhile their expenses are hundreds of thousands potentially
yes i did
Okay
ohi see
numlocked
is playing at 140 ping
makes sense
every play he makes is in the past
Fielder is at 200 as well
main tank is easily the worst role on ping
Look at this play
Sp9rk1e mei

mediocre teams keep scrimming mediocre teams
no wonder
the level is not high
look at apac
F to dallas scrimming literally nobody but shanghai in 2018
they're above NA in general
Is APAC'S peak higher than NA'S peak
APAC is wildly low and high
asia region adapts and improve
that was a fun angle for the fight
I dont believe the consistency is the same in any region, its just easier to put NA on blast because more top teams to scrim with means partners are going to be smaller
despite the score here justice arent playing bad
I don't mald uncontrollably when watching apac
Ttuba
na on the other hand...
Huge
Its not like justice arent playing the objective, either
Across china (chengdu only) and Korea, 7 teams is particularly healthy enough when you have KR/CN contenders to provide even more scrim diversity
Does anyone know how long violet was being suspended for?
one game
1 game.
oh okay
Thx
oops
SEXTUPLE
Because justice cant play like this all the time. Lots of mental and failure is needed to work out how to pull 2K+ dragonblade consistently
no im just saying
justice are in general playing much better this series than nromal
normal
Like im saying, this is the same frustrations i have with Gladiators performance. More so when i have time to even spare a thought for Outlaws
They performed so much better against philly
Only to get reverse swept
hanbin dead
but sparkle swagging out
pushed together
wait
paris on lose juice
ttuba y tho
?
im so confused
oh
oh man
thats big
but now jusitce have blongo back for you
rally
bongo
blade
what
how
what is it with na
???
and refusing to split
this is the EXACT same shit that fucking valiant did
hmm
wtf
don't do this "oh we have a hero that's fantastic at offangling and another hero that if she lands her ability then she completely fucks their healing output for ages and puts on tons of pressure and we're just going to sit them in a tiny corridor and not let them actually get any position to leverage their abilities" bullshit
justice hard throwing
gg
justice had that on a silver platter too
ark not having it
please justice
sparkle's genji is better than ttuba's imo
those dash transitions are clean
easy to say when you have the better team
I'd have to go watch the replay
its goign to look like that when you have a better team
I might go bald if I do that tho
i think ttuba has a equal genji to sparkle minimum
56
its just
Like, with that logic
team differnece
haksal was best genji, but eileen destroyed him and charge won vs nyxl last cup?
not just in this match, sparkle is one of the best genjis
eileen still had a really good genji
Thank mr.sp9rk1e
super on the zen today?
idk i feel in this meta specifically
LULW
that genji is very team dependent
so if your team is bad it will be hard to post ressults
End result?
purely off of how quickly he picked up on the current playstyle
ye
@karmic grotto but last week haksal dominated instead doe
@forest token i can agree with that
Kinda weirdass
just that ttuba has been working his ass off
ah did the match end
and it shows
I had guitar lessons
do yall think paris will play less good when genji nerfs go live?
i dont want to discredit sparkle doe
@plush grail yes, possibly
just ttuba is really good hes on a shit team
maybe not
on genji specifically
dont quote me on ttuba mei or something
genji was the one hero where paris beat shock
yep shock
yep shock
yeah cause sparkle was fuckin nuts
playing RUSH comps
the only thing that can keep a team like shock from dominating is a meta shift
if you give them time to hammer out and practice a meta, they will be on top
they got fucked by sparkle genji but now they’re back lul
if the meta shifts super radically then shock will probably fall a little but then come right back up
case and point: they actually have a fucking plan to take hanamura B that isn't "send everyone up tiny hallway and hope"
paris vs. shock during that match was pretty much "is the new meta strong enough to overcome shock's prep"
and... it was
Crusty the god
aero monkaS
what does that mean
it depends what comes after genji if paris falls hard or not
Like are you getting more value with Taiyo genji
xzi soon
idk
hmm
Whatever it’s shock
genji spread buff still in
They’ll win anyways
Just because striker so insane
Spread remains
like if somehow sombra mcree is meta
paris wont fall hard
lmao eqo
@sullen berry your predictions just got wrecked
I don't think he'll be a must-pick anymore
Yeah but he’ll be good
I just
cause his spread
I think doom will be better
eh
Why'd they nerf him like they did
but there's a very real possibility he sticks around, especially since paris really doesn't want to run anything else
genji too good 
People asking to revert spread but nerf damage were dumb
That will send genji shit tier
lul
holy shit
farm tanks dash up ez nanoblade ez wins
Genji was made to be a brawler
but that’s boring way
At least in this meta
His blades
genji's one of the most flexible heroes in the game
He nukes backline
Just deletes everyone
True
And backline pressure
as long as you're able to play him correctly
genji can poke, duel, get picks and do big team wipes
so it was sad seeing him being a dogshit, not even niche pick
Since he was very flexible at one point
Id rather see genji become like a torb
huh
spread buff makes it so you can't just hard zone him 24/7
Than just be completely bad
bring back soldier
Soldier is dead
member when soldier was meta?
L E G S
The legs
- triple tank?
dive + brig/zen /tracer/soldier
Rein dva Hog SDB genji and uhh
sdb genji vs. envy legs
sdb nutty
still playing the weeb chars
imagine if stitch joined owl again
?
Is kariv in
no
joking lol
but he might as well just not be on the justice
roolf has a huge canadian accent
dalton looking like a better genji than I remembered
na genjis and pulling blade right in front of a brig, name a better combo
na blades pepelaugh
HOYL FDISAFODSA KJ
I swear to fucking god
if I see another genji burn dash in front of a brig or pull blade in front of a brig
watch Vancouver win lol
no Kariv no win
OH MY SHOCKWAVE
cockwave
shockwave is the carry
cock diff
titans looking pretty good rn
I really disagree with agilities's dash that last fight
if he dashes out and plays mega side he can help contain shockwave or rotate and engage with dash to brawl
shockwave had absolutely no one contesting him
which is not good
how the fuck
damn shockwave
what
that was a weird fight
pogwave got 2 but no one to touch sadge
nevix was on point and they were boxed into the mega room
how did they win that
did they like hard commit into gold or smth
is defiant just not scouting
like how are they getting caught like this
that's like 3 times in the last like two minutes that they've been caught by something like that
poor poor shockwave
FINED KEKW
I think the doom is a trash pick into that as well
cuz they can just put a trap down and play around that
idt theres a filter he just *'ed
Sym turrets fuck you
which makes your engages super difficult
And trap
with your chunky hitbox ur just an easy target
every engage you’ll get blown up or slowed down
what else does he go though?
thats easy to say
idk what his pool is
ye
at the end of the day if they only scrimmed the doom they're better off staying on the doom than trying to cheese out a win on something they don't know how to play
that was probably the case
someone get this shockwave guy better teammates 
they won the first fight but got lost when they started losing
which team needs him though?
justice?
not much of an improvement
its not even what team needs him. titans need better players for shockwave.
just get an actual projectile player
hmm Should i buy the Eternal Genji skin because i like sp9rkle or CHengdu cuz them colors are hot ?
atlanta
Lol
torb
Ksaa still playing with ping
if dafran comes back
didnt tsuna look better than dalton?
I guess dalton has the only genji
logix v shockwave oop
ugh cant wait for the genji nerfs to hit the league
shockfeed
thank you mr. logix
please
someone lower dalton's genji ult requirements 😂
standard NA contenders you mean
have you seen some of agilities's blades
isnt that why people refer to agilities as disabilities 
vancouver is trying to force the meta when they're ass on it
like compare these na blades to sparkle blades
this guy
Either you get 0 value and die
sparkle farms blades so much faster that it doesnt even matter as much
Or win teamfight
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/704020700574253189/739233956922261534/unknown.png
Dalton, walking into Logix's sightlines
typically he does a much better job of managing when he's vulnerable
with na genjis it's like they feel the need to win the fight right then and there
as hydration said theres never a good time to use that thing
but sparkle dies the least out of all the genjis mid blade
because Sparkle is a beast
and it causes them to just fucking feed
compare that to the actual genji gods, who are much more patient and understand what they need to get out of the blade
and don't open up opportunities to shut them down if they don't need to
oop
like if you're in a winning position, why the everliving fuck would you let your opponent get back into the map
like bro
balanced hero
huge bongo
kinda clean
he nasty with it
This is the phattest Dps diff
@vale pond logix picked carcar to kick off the fight and you think that's an example of genji being broken?
???
Or like genji diff
I'm talking abt the shockwave kill jel
Huh
yeah Logix and Shockwave have been similar power, but Dalton has been less impactful than Agilities
also carcar is AWFUL
didnt carcar used to be gold on philly fusion?
not bad on the scoped crit
idk maybe?
Carcar was good in Contenders but I think he just doesn't make it in OWL
yeah very good
he needs a better team
a better main support and a better meta
I think it’s cuz van has no brig
lul its my first day back in 6 months and hearing double shields is still so strong in this game at competetive level makes me sad.
yeah every patch they balance like 2 heroes in experimental, then decide not to do half of it
"why is meta still stale" because they aren't DOING ANYTHING
Blizzard hasn't balanced a tank in months
poor poor shockwave
shockwave with the nonstop picks
and only Genji has been changed significantly in the DPS category
They really need to nerf halt
I'm willing to bet he pulled a fleta deadlift that map
@fresh epoch it looks very different than it used to
Shockwave has been playing up to Logix which is crazy
@fresh epoch double shield doesnt have moira lucio reaper doom anymore
orisa and sigma have remained staples
Logix and shockwave
but now we have bap, brig, ashe, tracer/genji/mei, sigma orisa
hot take shockwave is playing better than logix
but its still cancer anyways
its still bap brig
not a hot take but i wouldnt say one is stomping the other. its been going back and forth.
owl doesn’t use discord?
they use teamspeak I think

im gonna go watch bonk bonk nip
I can't watch na owl unless someone good is playing
Shockwave is a top 5 NA widow
tf is bonk bonk nip
There's a meme on how defiant is sponsored by canon but no one has their webcam turned on
It's hilarious
the team bonk, the verb bonk, then the team nip
oh
@forest token just dont really agree on genji nerfs i wished they nerfed either nano/blade... like slower charge or a slight damage reduction or made counter play easier to survive it, since still nobody plays zen in ranked games. but well its just me and maybe i have the worst ideas, and i dont even play genji. but getting wiped all the time as a support sucks. even if you are spread out. if your team isnt you still cant do much about it. or rahter its very hard.
valorant?
Jel you better come for next game
what's next match
karq's DSLR ad makes me sad every time i see it - i got a DSLR which has no video recording capability 😦
HAHAHA oh yeah I definitely am gonna pop back in for that
Imagine being sponsored but not having any of their products
Nanoblade was never the problem
Always was
For genji

On why he's strong
nanoblade is dumb as fuck though
Like if nanoblade was so strong why is ana never ran instead of bap brig
Because the value isn't good worth switching to ana
lul? from gold to top 500 nano blade gets team wipes and its not strong or good? maybe it just charged too fast since he did more damge and that was all the problem there was? not sure.
bongo blade or blade for pressure
Orisa super charger
you'll force out a lot of abilities
strats that rely on ults are not good
Yes
because by picking a comp with a shit neutral you're behind in the ult economy anyway
If your whole strat is nanoblade
so yes nanoblade is strong, but if you can run genji without it why sacrifice the neutral
ok legit
there are like 3 genjis I would confidently tell you to watch to see how strong blade is
because I swear to fucking god every fucking genji player in NA is such fucking dogshit
s e a g u l l
There's 3 relevant genjis in owl right now sparkle Eileen and haksal
super genji 
whoru still exists
literally dashing into the enemy team

Haksal > whoru on genji
w h OMEGALUL r u
like what the fuck
Although
Imo, whoru isn't delivering
Difference is small
haksal's playstyle fits with nyxl much better
i'm not saying i'm a pro gamer in fact i suck at the game. but its really not fun to try to survive nano blade with ur team if you play around plat meta. nobody stays far apart and makes it really easy for genji to do his kills. @next mesa @forest token 🙂 and i hated that. just dont feel like his normal damage was the problem.
whoru likes to nuke backlines
They don't need whoru because
Haksal is basically whoru on crack
that's why when haksal said he wanted to play with a korean roster I immediately called a nyxl transfer
Obv
haksal rarely goes for mechanically difficult plays
It was only choice
dalton has 0.1 more elims per blade than agilities cus he gets way less blades 😂 jesus
like
if you're looking for a bigdick nuke every fight hard carry genji
go for whoru
that's not what haksal's focus is
sometimes i see games where the genji has his ult before everyone else and thats a problem in my eyes.
well yeah but now its back to normal
I've seen zaryas build grav before the point unlocks on koth
yeah they made his damage less so his ult chages less but i'd have just made his ult charge a litttle slower.
hm
yeah but to be fair the 30 deleted people
so im fine with a damage nerf, as long as they dont touch spread
reverting the spread keeping damage = gutting the hero
the spread is so fucking important
yeah true probably only if they were alone but not really hard on the ladder.
wdym
yeah he did a lot of damage up close.
and i often was too slow to heal my teammates also.
so i guess i wont complain as support.
is cree ever played against a good genji in owl or does he just suck? i havent watched OWL in months now.
so no idea what meta is or anything.
can someone explain it to me?
why run cree when you can run widow or ashe
genji's strong, but he's not strong enough to warrant that pick
If you see McCree in OWL it’s generally not a genji forcing that pick
Normally Sombra and/or Tracer force McCree
cree has a much easier time vs. a genji than a tracer
Dynamite
widow has the threat of that 300 dmg burst and ashe has crazy pressure if a dynamite lands
as well as having a much better ultimate
oh oki i get it!
god im craving a new dev update since months now.
probably never gonna get one D:
dalton pog
Basically Ashe has really good neutral and widow has pick potential
McCree has flash to ward off pesky flankers and stuff
Dynamite is really good rn though Bc it forces the Bap to shift or the Brig heal is negated
Nah Titans Defiant still on
nah his dps is filthy
its just ashe and widow have better kits
mccree is very good but ashe and widow are something else
at a top level it doesn't matter if something is good if something else is better
Yeah
If something’s even just a little better it will be abused 100% of the time
Although if they actually do nerf double shield and barriers again they better nerf basically every hitscan or else it will be a hitscan world

FFS TITANS
ay 10cp
bro istg
wtf is this game
WAIT
wdym this match is fucking crazy
lmaoo
I'm fucking dying
kruise and carcar masochists
But the brig players
2cp is trash true
r-right?
thi siwll never end
❤️
they are locked in 2cp forever
agilities has blade
i swear if they cap with time
I BELIEVE
THIS CANT BE A DRAW
If they cap with time they both get another minute
its hanamura atlanta I think
NO NO NON O
bruh moment
6-6
ITS OVER
holy shittt
guess not
6 - 5 and 2/3
I might’ve cried if it went on
WHAT A MATCH
so close lmao
WHAT IS THIS
LETS GOOOOOOO TITANS
. RUN THEM OVER !!!
Reverse sweep incoming
11CP 
roky praying
where's kariv?
any people wonder why 2cp is bad LUL
happy for titans though lol
might be a reverse sweep in the works
that'd be lit
they could prove they can still win in a genji meta
which would make their mentals
wtf is circle k
Hey
New Titans finally did something
The New Titans have now won more regular-season maps (8) this year than the Old Titans (7).
This Volskaya is taking longer than our entire match last week.
lmao
oop first reverse sweep in team history
lmaoo
shockwave killed agilities after getting jumped
shockwave is kinda insane
what a tp
oh shit
neither of these teams can defend properly
titans' brig/orisa werent with the team :(((
carcar lost that fight
overextended so far
poor shockwave again trying to save it
dalton to tracer
bro logix
they're boomed
anticlimactic
would dive not work here?
oof Carcar only 1 ult
thats unfortunate
:(
Aight time for Super Zen
get a proj dps and a better main supp
at least Hou isnt last
i mean i dont think the losing team should ever get it
Waiting for that starting line up from shock
I think if one player plays phenomenally and loses in spite of it they should at least give a mention
@keen warren lmao how about this game?
yeah the super genji is prob coming out
@gusty cipher bye bye buddy 👋
bye bye buddy
super zen
Super Zen plzzzzzzz
super ana
super brig 😳
everyone is leave outlaws
leaving i mean
oof bye Rawkus
F
now Team USA needs a new flex supp
from shock to outluls 😔
@sullen berry I need to catch the replays
yikes...
"ta1yo out super in" most cursed line ever
Awwwwwwwwwwww
where is super D:
booooo
sweaty team wow
We got baited
i was worried if Paris didnt 3-0 den we prob wouldnt see super zen
who's on the couch?
prob rascal or ans
f tbh not too good but ok
is the aduio synced now?
yes
its syncd for me idk
y'all think we are gonna see another speed run?
i mean
reset lul
dont give me hope
hmmm
rascal looks good
its not like rascal is bad
thought linkzr was gonna get ans just now
90 is still 90
guess no viol2t is making a bit of a difference
choi stole the kill lol
According to crusty twilight is more support style instead of violets dps bap
ah
no counter
rapel anti pharah
he is meh
this was not the most ideal map for them
guess they didn't expect a pharah
what is this lol
what is this wild
i mean it really was a good hold
weirdly close ish
consider who they were playing
Rascal is gone
super time
Whose everybody got lol
Oh no
oh god if super loses a map
SUPER GENJI
ah yes super genji
SUPER GENJI!!!!! WOOOOOO
here we go again
bren only hates that it is not brenji 🙂

oh
smh
LINKZER NO
ans though
rapel
Fucking ans
LOL
rapel and linkzr didnt want to lose
linkzr looking much better nowadays
swear you could look up any time and see some shock player asleep or dead to linzr
Houston is looking at least semi competitive, but to be fair, shock is not running the best possible teams
depends on the hero
team*
widow ashe
babybay? no way
Did you not see shock vs atlanta
decay, happy, and lip probably
Junkertown
as an atlanta fan, i can say that babybay couldnt take ans
1 map
Ik
LIP Happy Diem
id say no to decay, he isnt this amazing be all end all player for dallas now
ik lol
Ksp maybe?
Stage 1 birdring
nah
in s1
No he wasnt
none of the S1 players are on par with s3 players
lmfao
s1 pine was streaky
He had flashy plays, otherwise he was dreadful
We haven't seen the widow duel between carpe and ans have we?
he had the highest death rate of all widows and outside his flashy 3ks 4ks , he didnt do much
heasu got alpha'ed
heesu played ashe
Jerry 100%
