DOES SHOCKWAVE HAVE 60% ALREADY
widow OP
oh my god he'll have another sights
chipsa
Yes
i dont think provide shuda been in OWL
but he deserved an answer to compete in T2
im surprised blizzard never replied
racist toxic in discord
That was super scrappy wtf
BQBsBOB
not bad for titans'
no
he just looks great because hes on a bad team
Mayhem are still good I just think Titans off genji makes them a lot better
but 3 years ago? @clear crane , like its just cancel culture
Genji is their one fatal flaw
which patch is this
Genji nerfs
the one before the sig nerf
orisia nerfs as well?
No
why exacty does it take 2 weeks to patch pro launcher
There’s no other changes
I think they want to keep competitive integrity but they should still patch bugs
I dont think its cancel culture since almost everyone in T2 is speaking up for him. Its Blizzard/OWL image. He doesn't bring any positive money value and hes not someone fans will tune in just to watch for unlike XQC/Dafran/Sinatraa who actually bring in money.
who?
i mean blizzard cancelling
I find it weird that Yaki only chooses dva
Like its been 3 years
They brought in money
lulw
Sinatraa and Dafran and xQc have money
thats priority number 1
Damn wtf Shockwave
SHOCKWAVE HAHAHA
NOOB
"noob"
N O O B
NOOB
blindsided
They need to ask each of the players to take a proper pic
wiht their jerseys lol
this photoshop looks so bad
This sombra widowmaker is a fk odd comp
i understand why shockwave is playing widow
ooooof 99% trans wen dead
oof
and florida still wins the fight
Florida win the map gr
😔
Pogwave 😩
So this patch is strictly genji nerfs
Yes
idk man. i feel like the dps picks just didnt go well together
and then the next patch they will play on is the one with brig nerfs that just went live
Which doesn’t even matter Bc he’s banned
The patch that went live yesterday is live for playoffs
hmm i wonder wat the meta wud be for that
Titans had a good comp they just didn’t play right
And Yaki echo was good at pressuring Shockwave
the dps have little damage output and i did like the fact that they widow ult into sombra ult. its just it took so long to build it up. and shockwave had to basically 1v2. carcar is the only one brawling with the tanks.
miscomplay
i know dalton usually plays tracer, genji, macree. but none of those really work in that instance u know. maybe shockwave should have moved over to ash. but he was doing pretty well. so idk.
#blindsided
he threw his ult away
BQB can easily be one of the top candidates for most improved player
but i feel its hard to give it to a DPS when they were stuck in Zarya jail for the majority of last year lol
Vancouver supports
are awful
carcar is trash
DOXXED
uh oh
LOLLL
LOL
OH MY GOD
nice
RIPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
LOL
leaked
OH HOLY SHIT

pro overwatch client boys
LUL
ObsBastion
honestly that one is new for me ive seen players dc but not specs
do they hve to restart all of it lmao
no
no its just the specs
dont know
but isnt it his server
oh is it
cause the players just stopped as well
why does dalton look like logix
huh?
i would think they wuda switched to a different spec den. eh who knows
why do they have nepal
well they players stoped because of pasue
obs ppl have left the game before and it never paused. idk
wud be pretty funny tho if it just all crashed
this mobile "gameplay" looks like bots playing it
but im guessing they have some timestamp they can go back to
ill be honest if its shock v dragons i dont know who i want to win
I am rooting for Dragons since I find Void playing better than Choihyobin
i mean i guess shock for choi and violet
Given where the meta is heading I foresee dragons taking it
WHY DOES MUSIC SLAP NOW
the only reason ive havent watched apac is timing its sad even tho all of the final matches are gonna be in the morning
nerfs pog
@raw ermine so long as one doesn't roll the other lol
watch philly go to the finals and lose again
because honestly that's a possibility
That one region plays so differently they get rolled or roll the other
btw the movement speed from 20-30 doesn't mean meters per second, it's a weird overwatch measurement system
true
wait so everyone know the finals will be timing for asia region right i found out some people didnt know that
makes sense
so like usa is in the morning
time to stay up
It is in Korea
or wake up early haha
ay
Lets go!
i thought it was like 8pm in asia
prob 9 am
more kariv plz
aimgod is the mention?
Normally the games are like 3pm Korea
aimgod waskinda poppin tbf
Normally the games are like 3pm Korea
@tropic herald the na or apac ones?
last match they had
This is a long tech break
APAC
mvp is the lemon
i think the whole server crashed lol
5pm is the first apac game in korea
This is not the prescheduled competitive overwatch I signed up for.
i guess technical problems ?
is soe buchering that cooking on purpose ?
someone hacked blizzard
everyone got struck by lightning simultaneously
thats a small kitchen
i want those cookie cutters.
-prepares the ring-
is that clay?
soe's a goat
what, how come hari got roles and i didnt
this showed up for a single frame
you cant even hate with the amount of effort it took to make these
OBS mccree
i wonder how long they had this video prepared for when something like this happends
the server legit crashed
what, how come hari got roles and i didnt
@dreamy cave actually unlucky
Mmmm monkey
This is so much effort for a cookie I'd eat in like 5s
yeah but the cutters can be used forever
True
what, how come hari got roles and i didnt
@dreamy cave lmao no idea, i did used to be active here but ages ago. maybe that's why?
cut her off
only mai san
Yeah looks like their whole OWL server died
@vagrant jacinth ive been here since like late stage 1? or maybe last year stage 1?
huh
o
Guessing they had to get the teams to bring the game through to the right stage of the map, get the right times, and reset all ults
that's weird
u can probably ask modmail or something
@true hound imagine 
lul
dalton just wont swap
neither does shockwave
didnt reach the end
i mean hes doing well
or any of them
wInNaBlE
or i mean ok
but i just dont think shockwave is cutting it
i dont think they will
COME ON TITANS
i was wondering how he died there
i cant tell if shockwave is bad or just the other widows in the league just overshadow him
when shred dives in, carcar has too aslo just to keep him up
i cant tell if shockwave is bad or just the other widows in the league just overshadow him
@gloomy vector potentially both
thatll end up being 2 kills, 3 if ksa goes to help
yeah both makes sense
Wouldn't say he's bad, but he's going to struggle more due to whole team difference
true
pogwave?
pogwave is super good imo
man can do work on the widow
if u can do well on a shit team against good ones ur good
their theam just dosnt have the damage to kill the mayhem
they have too much sustain and block
gg
Playing the lucio/moira just isn't working really
i dont think dalton is the bad pick here its the shockwave pick or at least thats what i understand'
that's true, and shockwave isn't getting the picks they need
Seems a very weird comp overall. Bit of dive, bit of rush, and then a widow
his back broke
atleast they got a point in
its only natural to perform less
i guess
gg
loud
none of them did particularly bad, they just got outplayed
Got to face it, it's kind of a Top 8 team vs a contenders team
sad but true
i still rather see hero bans than pools
the team tat set the fastest loss
they did
are their bans this week?
bans in final? 
No bans in finals
oh good
But Finals will be on the new patch
??
F
no way the week after next is already finals lol
yeah next week is the last week of regular season
gone so quickly
see errrrrrrror understands
Playoffs do start on 3rd Sept though, so It is only like 3 weeks away
0 and 4 LUL
Glad's should in theory be good, OGE on winson, space on Dva. But it's Gladiators, they could get 3-0'd in record time
nahh,
yeah maybe i put too much faith in space but i do think they take this
biggoose will carry
o wait soe is back?
yeah lul shes been backk
oh ok
I assume she's having to prioritise visa
something happened to her dad?
yeah, he was in an accident. hospitalised in switzerland iirc
yes
She is having trouble with visas
so it might be difficult for her to do stuff in OWL til the year's end
oh it was an accident i didnt actually know what happened
damn. yeah hope everything works out.
whats the helix yellow thing about?
people with regular role can pick 1 of 3 colours to use
Gullard Purple Helix yellow and Viskhar blue
who won last years 1v1 all star match
me without color because sadge
the widowmaker 1v1
diem
yeha they signed him
Think they used the clause that teams need 7 players able to travel, and because of Lullsish they don't have that. He's only signed till end of season though
He got Fuel'd
omg this stall
Birdring wtf
They nanoed the mercy
widow op zzz
YOOO
how was that flipped

Birdring killed 4, and Fuel were meming
damn
How???
because he is back
notes nose bothers me for whatever reason
...that's mean
At least Fuel are choking early now and not leaving it till final map?
i mean they still have time for that xD
i dont play phara why is doha punching in the air
is it to keep air time
Animation cancel on reload I think
holy fuck
birdring is so GOO-nevermind
deadeye kills
birdring is a monster
CLAPPED
birdring jeez
oh no titans vs boston is next week
that's gonna be...something
who they got?
yeah thats why i said ok matches
just inject dragons vs shock into my veins
@next mesa we ALL need this
i mean they both could get knocked out round 2/3
don't do drugs, unless it's shock v dragons
i forget how the braket works
haha
Birdring cracked
that's funny @gloomy vector
You can translocate, but you can't hide from @Birdring. #ShieldsUP https://t.co/wcEMROaYi3
108
i mean it could happen
each region right
NASTY
2 loser brackets
GOOOOOOSE
yeah i had to look it up xD
I don't even dare predict the playoffs, who knows what the meta will actually be
I'd expect dive, but could see Rush comps being popular again
yeah i dont wanna predict that but its really is most likely gonna be shock v dragons unless there is an unlikely upset
a repeat of summer showdown ye
and is it Sombra dive, Genji dive, Doomfist (lol)
lul what is this match\
oh my god lol
no way it's genji dive
poor gamsu
I could see sombra ashe/widow
I honestly think double shield lives
maybe tracer
how can double shield live
if dive is already being played now
and its going to get a lot weaker
Double shield won't live, but I could see Rush comps being popular on a few maps
halt is weaker, but they're the best tanks to just live
maybe on that nepal thing
which has been a huge factor or months
my money would be on dive yeah
grasp nerf
I think some hog/cree stuff will come out on top ngl
question is
Maps like Kings Row, Hanamura, Volskya I could see quite a few teams trying rush
winston zarya or winston dva
this is why i think they are enjoyable to watch
double bubble was a double shield counterpick
it won't take over
either winston d.va or rein hog
or rein sig
I'd imagine winston zarya is more sustainable. You get a win condition in a grav, and I'd say more protection vs a counter dive
shock like playing weird comps sometimes so i wouldnt expect the "meta comp"
i really don't like this fuel comp
not really, since bubble is an 8 second cooldown and lasts 2 seconds, meanwhile DM is much more fluid in usage and she has mobility
and more reliable damage
AND a better ult defensively
lmao did birdring drop a london spray?
did he
Probably still has it bound, lots of players have their ex teams sprays
defensively
did you just ignore the most important word in the sentence?
by a long shot
what a lad, always rated him
why does it matter that it's better defensively
also it's probably also worse defensively
that's what the tank meta has been for like 2 years
defensive play (goats in non-goats mirrors at least)
also D.va has way better peels
doesn't change the fact that zarya winston is being ran over dva winston
as a double shield counter pick
I'd say any team with a top zarya will likely run it over a dva. Probably only see dva from teams without a great zarya
void is ok
possibly
void's zarya is pretty damn good
we'll see
Zarya enables winston a lot more than Dva currently
Bubble stops stuns etc. DM doesn't
like better peels for your main tank and for your backline, you don't have to put NEARLY as many resources into her, and she's a lot faster
If Brig totally drops out of meta, maybe less of an issue
she probably will
ok a weird comp that works is hog winston but it only works because of the buffs
Hog winston will never work in any top level game really
idk all the tanks are super bad
i know i want to see it as a match but it wont
Only way I can see hog playing is if a team goes like super anti-dive. Like Orisa/Hog/Torb/Brig/Mcree or something
Hog is simple, doesn't depend on other tanks
here's the thing with that tho
...
omg
LMAO
yes
rip
FUEL
the meta will either be brawl OR dive
space play of the game
The Fuel9

bunker's probably out
yeah hes not a main stay
what do I know
he might just because he plays with hog better, and hog will gigaclap monkey now
yes
and with how much anti-dive still exists, you may be able to do it
yeah
like a rein/hog/cree/reaper/ana/zen may be meta for being good vs dive AND having incredible DPS
i dont think cree is the best choice there but idk
Widow would destroy that comp
depending on if you can prop up the reaper and zen to beat the snipers
i hate double dive its so snoozer
no brain all aim
sombra widow
Eileen happy 😊
ive always found double dive boring
I think the game is about to get way worse
double shield is evil, but it might've been a necessary evil
there's so much damage and there's nothing to stop it now
I'd like to see Monkey/Zarya/Ashe/Tracer/Zen/Bap style comps honestly. I'd be happy if that general setup was meta
i just love see those sigma plays so maybe im bias
dive zen bap does NOT work, as much as I wish it would
too vulnerable
and with no d.va?
sombra ez clap
What supports do you actually expect people to play in dive then?
might have to be lucio zen ngl
ana is good in dive
ana zen or lucio zen
Lucio zen is not enough healing
it wasn't in 2017 but it was the top meta comop
i agree zen lucio is bad healing
Ana Zen would be viable, but it's arguably more vunerable than Bap/Zen
bap doesn't long range heal, he only heals in a clump
it can't work
either ana zen or lucio zen
i guess but it leaves everyone weak in a way
you have the ability to take quicker fights than almost any other comp
you could get a ball in there too if you want tbh
lucio zen ball may be good
Lucio zen ball? You a Chengdu coach?
xD
the thing is it's super fast
you can take insanely fast fights and outpace everything
Fast fights don't mean a lot if you just die because you have no healing
but with ball zen lucio how much peel do you really have
i feel like youll just get bursted
who needs peel. just kill them all 
lucio is all the peel you'd have
you would go like sombra tracer ball d.va, lucio there just to peel for zen
then everyone else is self sustain
honestly that was the meta for a LONG time, no heal no peel just kill
Perhaps 2 or 3 years ago before damage power creeps
that's why the ball would be played, he needs 0 heals
just pop an orb on the d.va and that's all the healing the comp needs
sombra hacks some packs
it's a bit mad sciencey but what reasonably beats that comp now?
like the burst damage seems way too high for it too work but idk its defiantly runnable
Orisa can't pull ball which means it's harder to stun him
Sombra can do a number on it but then that falls into this exact comp
You'd just counter it with Bap/Zen/Ashe. Stuff would be dead before it even got close. Any map with even medium sightlines and it's dead
what are the other 3 though?
you need something to stun ball or he's behind you pestering you all he wants
you need something to beat Sombra so she doesn't have free reign
if you zen orb him hes dead pretty fast
You run a sombra of your own
fair
ball comp would wreck imo, but i don't think there's many teams that could run it properly
yeah that's the thing I have with it
good ball play is so rare that you never see a proper ball who will play to a level where he won't be melted, but trust me, it's doable
ball/zarya, ball goes in and bubble negates whatever cc he might face
ball is the only tank i just dont understand how to play at all he is my worst tank
and the d.va would be mainly focused on countering hacks, or you go zarya for that yeah
plat chat were talking about it and it makes a lot of sense
lul
how does one stop ball?
idk i feel like dps can take care of him with a zen orb good enough
dragons, chengdu and maybe london would look nice on it
Teams would likely adapt to beating a ball comp pretty quick
do you think anyone in na could run a decent ball comp?
Think about this: The moment 1 ball counter was locked out, NO ONE could beat chengdu
i think my favorite tank line up is sig rein or at least for me
that does get kinda clapped by the ball comp tbh
a meta favouring chengdu would be hilarious af
Only NA teams I could see running a ball would be Valiant or Houston
bro Fuel
like it happened before
but everything else about fuel is big bad
Doha plays a mean sombra
that thought didn't even cross my mind until sideshow brought it up
Playoffs also have map picks, you can easily avoid maps Ball can work well
Paintbrush could go mercy and Crimzo could go Zen
remember this is overwatch they could throw random buffs and nerfs to change the meta in a bad way
it would be the most chengdu thing ever
what maps do Ball suck on
is he good on horizon
Kings row, Junkertown
it's fine and well having players to play heroes but they don't look in sync
he's pretty nasty on kings actually
yep yep
ooh no i wouldnt say kings row
yeah hes looking godd rn
lol
good not god
Wonder if Fuel think Pharah will be good in the playoff meta and trying to practice it a bit
i said this before and yall laughed at me i do think mirror could have been an mvp candidate if glads were better
where was that bob
LMAOOO
i just wanna say. every time they dont play mirror on anubis they lose.
he's good but i don't think mvp good
Mirror is ok, but nowhere near mvp level
birdring is nutty
idk that just my perspective
also the amount of times bob wins fights
he is the real mvp
LUL

gg
gg
yeah i said glads took this
but thats not an unexpected pick
but didnt someone say that fuel was gonna 3 0 them or nah
Fuel vs glads is one of those matches where either team could go 3-0
Depending on which chokes harder
hes always so loud
Glads always has the win con of birdring just popping off
birdring popped tf tonight, lucky glads
Birdring can just turn on sometimes and be insane
yeah they were really aggressive this match
When did they add Super to the MVP list? and why is Muma there LOL
no that the all star match
Imagine being any of the mixed roster western teams and missing out on picking up birdring
Dallas is the cock of owl

@weak bolt earlier today they added a bunch more candidates

MVP Main Tank who got benched for a dps player
yeah its all stars not mvp
Super actually saw play for his rein
pepegas
Yeah sorry all-stars, not mvp
yeah i dont understand the muma all star pick
Is meko in all stars now
He's listed now yeah
Myunbong got added too for supports
oh i'll have to look again
All votes are hidden now too, so no way of knowing whos winning things
also i saw jerry on there 
i don't think xzi and birdring were on there either?
They should add bumper to washington
Washington's biggest problem is main tank anyway
i can't not vote for soon, i love him
I'd expect Washington to make moves in off-season
And bumper is main tank
I'd not be surprised if they make a move for someone like OGE
i really dont know who to pick for dps NA
ans yes
Vote Linkzr for all star, so he can actually play in a widow 1v1 finally
I think I did BQB
Ans,Shockwave, Decay, and surefour/Logix
ew shockwave
Roar is the worst main tank in the league
He might deserve the title, I heard he doesnt practice outside of scrims
i did ans, birdring, agilities and soon
actaully throw pick
?
Roar vs Shredlock vs Muma is interesting for worst main tank
i dont think hes adveage he just looks better because hes on a bad team
What
Muma isnt that bad
Washington should get MAG
no babel for damage 😔
And they'll actually be kinda competent
Sherlock has some good moments
If they keep decay
Muma is ok at winston, everything else is kind of a throw
Roar is and actual lvp, least valuable player
Also Beast hasn’t been amazing either
NA support was the ezest picks ever
MT is also the role you suffer on most if your team is performing badly
same thing with NA tanks
Yea, moth twilight viol2t and 1 more
crongs on the list now pog
and alarm
I don't think I even did Twilight in my NA supports
sp9rk1e haksal super myonbong etc have been added to all star voting
Think I did Moth, Viol2t, Myunbong & Alarm
i mean for asia
i voted for players i like mostly
I just wanted to give Myunbong a chance at playing on a decent team for once in 2020
ah
well and anamo but i dont like him
oh atually i didnt see idk i know him somewhat
i picked guxue, bernar, fearless and crong
yeah bernar and guxue was ez pick for me
You left out Ameng? 😮
ok cyall tomorroe
i was really tempted for the ball potential
apac was harder to pick for
i was gonna drop guxue for ameng
All stars comps are always 1 big meme, so adding in a ball will only make it more fun 😄
i totally should've done ameng lmaoo
I hope they're allowed to ditch 2-2-2 for that game. I'd love to see some Goats vs Ball 4dps style comps again
or they bring in the roadhog pigpen change please
This makes me feel 🌟 u n c o m f o r t a b l e 🌟
I think Guxue is milimeters ahead
They're all on the same level
Smurf guxue fearless
On the winston
But
For experience guxue is the best
He's been consulting the best winston in OW forever now
Until ofc smurf and fearless pulled it out
mano has a solid winston
But is it on the level of fearless guxue and smurf?
not sure, i haven't watched guxue or smurf winston inna while
XQC 
no lul
Looking forward to seeing a bit of Winston
Yeah me too
With any luck they slightly buff orisa later today on
In a way that gives her more of a niche and is interesting
And for now we are Winston
Okay
Mmm monkey
With Zarya dva
Maybe some Sig
Monkey Ball would be cool too
Honestly if someone played orisa ball
Orisas kind of the off tank there now
Wonder if it still works
who would yall say is the best player in OWL currently
Ameng
Choi, Ans, viol2t
ok
Best players on the best teams
Ans is best widow
And everything else has the best at
hi
By role hmm
MT idk
OT probably void
DPS is def fleta or Carpe
Support there are a lot
omfg
why does everyone overhype carpe
like hes not good when it comes to the BIG matches
he only performs in regular season
fleta striker rascal are the best dps rn
because Carpe is a god gamer
he deserves all the praise
there are 0 players more clutch than Carpe
Because he's a good player from s1
who is in the killfeed a lot
So people are like "oh ya he big stronk"
Even though alarm is a bigger carry
bruh i'd say the best dps rn are dragons with fleta and lip
carpe got outshine in big matches
LIP is a crazy hitscan player who actually has the best sombra in the league rn
fleta still a flex god
Crazy how LIP has gone from some random T3 to a top hitscan in OWL
same for ANS
I thought ANS was already respected?
he was retired
Mt is smurf or super tank failure
Super as best player in MT pepega clap
For rein
Yeah he is the best no doubt
Smurf is overall the best MT in the league
His winston and orisa are so fucking good
ye but ANS was still very well known in ladder
not a pro but considered a super good widow in KR
Is there a lucioball e sport team lol
does anyone remember this interview?
ㅠㅠ
ㅠㅠ
Don’t know if you guys noticed but the last pinned link also has all star votes
oh yeah cool
so the top votes are
ANS
Moth
Super
Haksal
Jjonak
Fearless
LMAO
3 sfs
mano was 3rd behing fearless and void
nearly 3 NYXL as well
@tropic herald he website name changed to reflect that
"Live OWL Voting stats"
can you still remove the embed?
It should change
im suprised xzi is this high
but then again its fan vote and they dont mean shit
okay I know all stars voting is still small
but the numbers tell me people choose not to vote for a certain role
Probably fleta or void
gee, i wonder why the submissions are like this 
Top 2 in both regions:
Damage - ANS/Carpe, Fleta/Haksal
Support - Moth/Viol2t, JJonak/LJG
Tank - Super/Choi, Fearless/Void
and

21,358 NA Damage
14,487 NA Support
13,385 NA Tanks
11,985 APAC Damage
67,210 APAC Support
65,910 APAC Tanks
they didn't know for what, 2 weeks now?

Update for fans on #OWLMVP and All-Stars:
We experienced some online botting issues impacting our MVP fan votes over the past few days. We have added new safeguards for voting and are working to remove dubious votes to make sure every vote is fair.
1001
Ofc the APAC voting is fucked for all stars
Another prodigy gone
What happened with him?
not really, it's reassuring to say the least
oh man
Twitlonger is banned where im from i think
that's awful boston couldn't pick up good talent and retain them
but he was on the eternal academy team this year anyway
he has dropped out probably with prospects on other fps
Gist of it is he doesn’t enjoy OW anymore
Hm
He going to valorant
If he could stomp sp9rk1e
I wasn't going to say it but yeah
Man could have been an mvp this year
you can't grind this game if the motivation isn't there
True
you can be seagull and take your moment to shine in stage 4 playoffs
but I think he had no interest in the players around him
Ye I was watching his streams he could tell he didn’t like playing OW anymore
and the streaming business is still fertile
Like Sinatraa’s streams before he left
he's only succeeded with the freedom of not being chained to one game and making APEX content on YT
He would still be considered a positive member of the OW community despite the damage he's done
Seagull
