nice lmao i thought it was me
can we go back to APEX 😦
They've upgraded a bunch of backend production stuff this week and it's causing them a bunch of issues
aha i see
ay i see logo
It's why Casters have had to swap in/out. Lots of them haven't been able to get things working
At least I'd rather see it happen now in an irrelevant Boston match, rather than playoffs lol
such a good match
lmao
Imagine if we get back to it, and Boston are 2-0 up at half time
o they froze as well?
so much is happening
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I assume they paused at end of first stage
what he called us nerds no way
I thought Myunbong meant cotton swab?
It does
there we go
dafuq they reset the countdown
what a bunch of nerds
Wonder if the owl client had issues or if they carried on
for some reason i saw the 0 3 and thought it was done LUL
Uhmm did my team win?
what's your team
Na production
yeah
Glads
they got hacked
wait boston is 2-17 lmaoo
I didn't realize gladiators was 8-9 I swear they were way worse
what teams did boston even beat this season like Washington or something lmao
could be yea
We didn't see this, I assume observers got highlights still
bosotn won against the gladiators on may 17th
They probably started just taking a bunch of ingame highlights when the stream went off, so they could replay them with OBS after
dude why tf do I not get tokens anymore I got 25 last time and have watched like 5 matches since and have gotten nothing
I want my dumb overpriced skin already 
ow doesnt like u 🙂
I've always had problem getting tokens on PC. I just use the app on phone now and it's very reliable
yeah when i dont want to watch a match i just put it on my phone
I usually have it on my pc just on my other monitor
but I stopped getting tokens from that
I can watch that on the pc
I just play it live on phone, with volume off & screen at lowest brightness. Then I just actually watch it on PC. Means I can mute volume on ads or pause when I need
Wait whats the app?
Overwatch league website and overwatch league app.
There is an app specific for OWL
Oh okay tnx
It’s somewhere in store.
What did overwatch league did wrong is freezing the screen for the match between Los Angeles Gladiator and Boston Uprising.
I'm on coffee number 3 but I will be conscious to see shock fusion
We want to see shock and fusion battle each other’s.
just skip this match
Stream broke?
and give glads the win
tbh im not really a shock fan, I don't like when a team combines really good players because it makes the league so unbalanced, look at the nba from 2016 to 2018 lmao
Other teams need to git gud
i agree i really dont care about this match
I don’t know why New York Excelsior lost to Seoul dynasty today.
hey 0-1
New York Excelsior would go powerful and become powerful.
Shock didnt really just grab all the good players
Crusty deserves a lotttttttttttt of credit
Wait... when i log into the app is everything set to go for me to earn tokens?
wait who think coaches dont add anything draw
Seoul is the team trying to just grab all the good players lol
so how do shock compare to the asian teams, I heard the asian teams are like way better or something
Crusty is the big coach.
we dont know shock stacks up against shanghai
We won't know until NA and APAC play each other
because shanghai bodies everyone in APAC
Asian teach and inspired harder and harder.
Shanghai is really good
Shock prob stomps everyone besides Shanghai
Shock would body every team in APAC besides shanghai though
wasnt aero the team USA coach 2019
Ye
what about charge?
didn't they beat shanghai
wow kevster
I bet Shanghai dragons will beat San Francisco Shock to pieces.
Glads is legitimately so much better when goose doesn't have to play brig
Or New York Excelsior will beat San Francisco shock to pieces
NY got fucked by Seoul today lol
NY just got run over by Se
ul
New York Excelsior got destroyed by Seoul dynasty. However, they will learn harder and harder to get back!
this is a sad match
Chengdu did well, but there’s a chance Chengdu won’t go well.
its 6am
they have the best ball by a mile
LUL space
but cant work in every instance
birdring just got done fuckin
oof
boston should /ff
u kids are six stacking
If Chengdu picked up Guxue they could be a legit nasty team
Boston is getting rekt today
Boston will lose your gladiator the 1st time
arguably the best chinese player in the league and hes not on the team
I still would like to say
no way the gladiators choke this
Mirror is Vietnam
Jinmu and Elsa
Team China has been 2nd place 2 years in a row. So sad
who won 2018?
SK
oh ok
SK also threw last year
So many of the nutty players are from sk
so many of the nutty players are asian in general
ye
u could assemble like 5 OWWC SK rosters and theyd probably all win the whole thing
I think SK kind of stopped caring about WC, where as USA were still totally invested
SK won every year except last
who won last
wonder who would even be on team usa this year if there theoretically was one
USA
Didn't lots of the Korean players last year opt out of WC as they'd already won it 2 or 3x and didn't care?
Not super, because he said he wouldn't do it
no super sin or corey
I can't name more than like 5 us players in general lmao
but team US was so stacked last year with corey and sinatraa
wud prob be some combo of danteh nero ksf?
actually theres no hitscan there so maybe dalton
Super isn't gonna be in OWWC?
he said he doesnt wanna do it anymore
ksf and danteh are good though
Fair enough
Hydration, Space, Danteh, Nero, KSF, Moth, and someone else
Gator then?
I forgot about moth
Not Hydration
oh yeah gator too
he is a temp fix
prob Dogman as Flex lol
Dogman has been feeding
theres no other us flex supp i can think of...
Just make a meme team from Twitch instead
They did that in 2016
2016 was all fan vote
So is the current patch live in OWL too?
no current patch will be for playoffs
i just realized that rawcus is gone too 4 WC ppl are gone
Ah ok
carcar for team usa hehe
Flats, Emongg, Sleepy, Aspen, Khephri, Noobhunter
kephri can fuck off lol
lmaoooo
fake accusations are the worst
Switch khephri for bastionmain and I'm in
wat a flux
Biiig
Halo for main support if no Moth 
this match is boring the shit out of me
It'd be cool to do a region based WC instead. 2 NA teams, 2 EU teams, 2 Asia teams
This is sad....
boston pls
French would prob dominate the EU team haha
lmao
same with KR and Asia. I can see a combo of US and CAD for NA teams
So I dont watch OWL that much is the 2-17 next to Boston uprising their W/L ratio?
EU would allow people like Kevster, KSP, FDGod etc
Damn
about to be 2-18
Lmaoo
If history tells us anything, Boston win this in a 3-2 reverse sweep. But I think it's time for Gladiators to finally break the curse
Were their 2 wins 3-2 reverse sweeps?
their first win
I wonder what agilities will do now with genji nerfs
Agilities has a good Doomfist, and a so-so Mei
but I bet zYKK will play the Mei
wat is this spawn camp
😮
bruh
holy shit that boop lmao
Boston please
Oooooh
Wow
they're getting spawncamped this ain't good
huge goose
lol back to spawn camp
this is depressing to watch boston get bullied so hard
Lmao they got back to spawn
this is so sad
boston needs to drop everyone
this is truely sad
this is actually sad
/ff
free myunbong
lmao
Boston will just resign the current titans roster next season without shockwave
i can totally see that happening
Pay them all minimum salaries and give Mineral a raise
I could then see Titans trying to just buy all of the #1 NA contenders team after that
Doge?
well some of team doge is in OWl already
Waiting for one of the commentators to pull out an ice cold refreshing coca cola and pull out the "this video is sponsored by" spiel
teamdoge pog champ
Dunno who'll be top, as probably got a few months before thye need to do it
Doge is still not "signed"/sponsored right?
basically all their players are doing this for free
Titans could likely also just throw large money at teams for players I suppose
@clear crane it’s contenders, everyone is doing it for free
lol granted, but even less den crappy contenders pay
super said he retire before he joined titans/boston
Make an UK super team
I just wonder wat team Mag will be on next year
I like titans because funny gorilla logo
I can see Justice being a possibility
Yes mayhem very good color
I kinda see Mag going to Mayhem
Depends what current main tanks become free
does OGE want to go full Korean, does NXYL keep Mano etc.
i mean Houston can use a good main tank
yeah off tank is more fun
Who'd want to be a MT when you've been in Orisa jail for past year 😄
outside of Winston I dont see any of the MTs really fun haha
ur either a meatshield or stuck in orisa jail
well orisa is not so good rn current patch
Rein is fun in rush metas I think
I'll kinda miss boops like this when halt patch hits OWL
i expected Punk to be a selfish prick and flux his way out of that boop lol
LUL
RIP halt 2020
its not like she is unusable it just takes a little more brain power
Halt is what has made Orisa so powerful in OWL, with the nerfs I don't think we'll see her much at all
Orisa is just not a fun hero to play regardless lol
Orisa is basically useless on Nepal and Illios now.
@weak bolt 3 minutes until your prophecized reverse 3-2 sweep
each other main tank has some sort of niche
while orisa is just sit there and spam
and right click sometimes
Well, not completely useless... but the chance of finding some out of place is a lot lower now.
If Boston get the 3-2 reverse sweep I'm going to be tilted I didn't put money on it
well i mean sometimes sigma is just sit there and spam
I think it is fine that Orisa is a niche pick
I'd like to see Orisa get a bit of a rework. Give her an ability to engage Horse mode, where she just gallops at people for some mobility
Still cant believe there are people that play COD mobile competitively lol
like i think orisa and rein are the most boring to play for separate reasons
like i think rein is ok to watch but boring to play
Rein is fun if you just play the LHCloudy method
Flank rein is best rein
well cloudy plays him wildly
Just hold down mouse1 and W, get a sym/lucio for random flanks
Halt didn't necessarily need a nerf, it needed more consistency. It was bloody stupid the way anything moving faster than walk speed would break out of halt. Doomfist flying through the air? Nup, just let him go, immune to halt. Dashing Genji? hah
Halt was more powerful than Grav surge almost, on a low cooldown
well i mean geni is way lighter than doom tbf
Yeah, but it didn't hold players there for seconds. They could freely move again immediately.
Yes genji outweighs genji by a ton lmao
i put genji because he was on the mind
not really
in no planet was that ability balanced
Sure, but don't strip it of 45% of its range AND leave the same issues in place.
we need Hook 1.0 back
the radius was stupidly large
well i guess it better than a shield nerf
It was way too powerful at high level because teams would combo with it. Outside of the top 1% of players, it wasn't OP
that was not broken
no the radius wasnt my issue with it
Hook 1.0 is basically back with the latest patch
a shield nerf isn’t targeting the priblem when Orisas and sigmas combined damage mitigation was extremely massive
@weak bolt ye but we balance around the 1%
So we got a nerf
Agreed, thats how it should be
They changed something to fix the Ball bugs that appeared in 1.47, and as a result broke Hook again.
Ye
ahh parkour doomfist
like a cooldown nerf would have been ideal for that not a radius nerf
All yesterday I was playing games with hook behaving like we always used to hate - going around walls, through surfaces etc.
sweet
dang mirror
Man I love doom in OWL
TORB
Hook is fun now, it makes the hog 1 tricks in ranked slightly more tolerable
yeah i hate doom in comp but love him in OWL
Doom is just fun to watch
i agree
Yeah :(
o torb worked?
Bob contested point after EMP to save them I think
yeah torb isnt bad for sombra
Torb kinda shits on doom too
Torb shits on echo genji doom tracer
Constant damage on doom and he doesnt really have a good way to take out turret
It’s a FeelsBadMan
I kinda want torb to be nerfed
like his turret range
but idk
He’s mostly been off meta
no
I think torb is fine
Torb is nice for that niche pick. If you nerf him, make his head hitbox smaller at least
Annoying af as a doom player but eh whatever
i lov e waatching space
I just wait till my teammates take the turret out
I wouldn’t mind if torb got nerfed but I think he’s fine where he is
Off meta but strong pick
torb nano LUL
Bob, bob is who you nano
Nano anybody who goes to point would be a good start
i hate this map but this one might be the best 2cp
this hurts to watch
Ooh they buffed hog?
he shoots slower but his gun does more damage
Epic
and they took away his sixth shot
More consistent 1 shots on 250hp targets iirc
so he's back to 5
Hog buffs were basically making his hook combo more reliable
he's worse outside of hook
Im going to have a stroke if I don't get any tokens after watching all na matches today
arguably more nerf than buff
It seems no matter how much I watch I never get tokens
he's good once every 8 seconds but outside of that he's slower
Idrc tho
wow
I don't want to spend 5 dollars on one skin 
Mirror got the Jsilly skills
So are Boston players just not pro level or do they just not sync well together
Hmm
their head coach is a trash can
They have awful coaching
Player wise, they should be able to match up to teams such as Titans, Justice, LAV etc
colourhex is nutty as fuck
Halo is prob the worst MS in the league
oh how I miss scatter
Carcar or Halo, not sure who I'd take
glads have a top tier tank line though
Could probably make an argument for Kris being not great either
and Ojee but hes underage
Lmao carcar is kind of trash
o wat!
Boston always just look lost as a team, lacking confidence and decision making
on a different team colourhex would perform
Drawable!!!
We're going to a map 6
Yo jerry cleaning up
he still performs in the uprising, but he's too good for whatever coach is training them
CHex has moments where he pops off on his good heroes, but he struggles with most of the Meta ones
same with Blase
But he's forced to play them as Boston are too cheap to have subs
oge winston good god they're gonna get fucked
oge winston and space dva
oh god oh fuck
Jerry has his moments
One lucky junkrat pick could draw this
wow they shuda left space alive
myunbong fuckin clutch with that dva kill holy shit
Damn it
Holy crap that winston burn
OH WAT
only reason they got that
I don't want another match of this dogshit series pls
ohgodohfuck the reverse sweep starts
NOOOOOOO
Nano'd winston and he melted instantly
GLADIAT OMEGALUL RS
gladilultors
I see the reverse sweep
I swear to God if that isn't a fluke im going to kms
zen carry lets go
Gladiators now boomed, this is going to a Map 6 reverse sweep
we can technically have a draw on this map as well
This could snowball massively
it already has
This is so funny they are literally throwing
the cart hasn't stopped moving since first point
I mean door has to open LUL
Boston are so good 👍🏿
sigh
Technically still winnable
your optimism is admirable
so is urs 🙂
Just hurry up and give us the good game
I have 0 optimism, it's just funny to pretend
Boston fans are probably overjoyed over this draw
It’s their only glimmer of hope
oge and space on a dive map
oof
this wasn't going to end well
Bring us cloudy
I mean reverse sweep means more watch time and more free tokens
so optimism go off
so does sym have a 100% pick rate on control maps
I'm kind of amazed Boston haven't just pulled out of OWL yet. As an Org they clearly dont give a shit
I have 0 optimism, it's just funny to pretend
@weak bolt LUL
i mean is blizzard gonna give them their 20 mil back?
How many years does that 20mil actually get you?
sleepy monke
until another organization decides to buy it from them
boston does it faster lets go
I don't understand how an esports organization can profit
birdring with that shitty emp lmao
it just seems like so many chance things
i think apex teams profitted
Merch sales is probably their main income
the way blizzard is trying to shoehorn all this
sponsors is my guess
merch sales
and also the homestands were supposed to be a draw as well
gotta get that almost default look for pharah
Jerseys are kinda expensive, probably makes decent money
but actual like winnings and shit unless you win the fat like 100k prize pools can barely cover it right?
idk it just seems wild with all the investment
for teams like boston to stay alive
and just bite the losses
They've already given the biggest investment at the buy in
same with usps
Now they're investing fuck all
LUL
GG go next
i spoke too soon
thank god
Holy sht
that was one of the first times I have watched a match that was just boring as fuck
like actually
Boston are pathetic
I’m very glad that series was quick
Free Boston players
I just feel for the Boston players honestly
do they even practice?
that was my question, like who tf do they scrim with if at all
free chex
how can they be so bad
They have like 0 subs, awful coaching, and are probably on $50k minimum salaries
Hey guys
hi
Glads finally beat Boston
is chex even good?
1-6
I mean I think they’d rather get 50k and lose than be in contenders
true
@obtuse socket fax
yeah the money is why they stay
50k and free housing
but damn this shit sad to watch
Big goose actually player of the match
and younger ppl come up
its basically double
Got to wonder how much it impacts your mental though. Losing every week
50k is above the average
like LA and NYC
Its depends 9n the state
They get free housing
On
Got to consider that this is basically their Career though, and you're lucky to get maybe 3+ years of it
They don't have to pay rent
so that 50k is basically all disposable income
it should be all savings
that is true considering a lot of pros retire at like 20
Lucky for a 3 year that isn't lucky
the window to make money kind of small
they got carpe in for a 3 year contract at philly iirc
Carpe must have a nice deal
ok but is your pfp peter griffin as a geisha or some shit
Being an esports pro doesn't overly set you up for a career long term. Unless you build a persona enough to go into Streaming or Casting/Analyst
custa beat the titans then dipped lmao
yea esports pro has a very short life
Carpe plays with a tpp 3 team
unless you play something like counter strike or wow where the game will live forever
and a bunch of players drop out of academics as well to get better
Still multi year contracts doent really benefit players too much
feel like with better coaching philly could be the top team
or cod where they release game after game
mutlti year can be good or bad
Multi year contracts are a win if you don't give a shit about playing. Look at the Fuel players lol
if the league shuts down next year
Your goal is to be in a good esport or have a good persona
i think the org still has to pay out
So don’t play OW pro
Ok I guess in that sense its good but overall it isn't good for the players
The more succesful players will be the ones who build up a stream or coaching background while also playing
be a pro starcraft player and move to korea
Same here
south korea's government is a starcraftocracy
I lowkey want philly to win
And this isn't a new view many pro also stated this
just be like xqc, and be half pro half streamer and go in the middle
The loser of this match likely ends up vs Shanghai in Grand Finals lol
I mean best of luck to philly and all, but im all for shock
lmaoo
They just seem like a better team overall
I see it
Loser of this match prob plays Paris
With huge potenital
to make it to Korea
Well shock gets 3 more ez games after this so 3 free wins
wait not howtobasic the one guy in the filthy frank videos
wait this is the first time glads beat uprising?
Imagine if Titans org just let the players stay in korea...
APAC would look a whole lot different right now
yes @dark hedge
how
If thata true then thats sad
yea
Thats*
apple
have they never fought ever in s3
what
thats one of bostons 2 wins lol
Maybe apac might not have changed that drastically
how
It's one of those weird rivalry things that occurs in sports lol
Punk came and fucked
Boston was at their best and Glads was at their worst
was Kevster's debut game too iirc
Punk has since been coached into mediocrity by Mineral
and the same day onigod debut loss to titans 3-0
the only rivalry that was worth following was goats shock vs goats titans
I'm not sure how Glads lost to Boston in all of S2, but S1 can believe it as Boston weren't bad
then when goats died titans kind of went to shit
I enjoy watching Battle of Texas Bc it’s a toilet bowl every time
so what are the odds for shock v fusion
I dont think this will be a 3-1 this is either gonna be a close 3-2 or full out 3 - 0
Fusion can take a map but they won’t win
cannot wait for super on the mercy
I can see Philly winning
No its super zen
super moira
I'm curious what we see, Striker sombra or Rascal Echo perhaps?
CHIPSA JUNKRAT
I wanna see more rascal
nepogtism
as unlikely as it may be im gonna root for the fusion
bring out the fish
Lets just have ANS/Carpe widow 1v1 for the match
I forgot about ans
ahh Moth is back!
Yeah i love seeing the moth play
can we get chipsa orisa
damn Carpe is benched 😦
wheee is carpe
no carpe
give me the fish
Wdym he didn't play every game in the tournament
Probably just going to get Mei/Reaper comps with these rosters lol
no chipsa doom 😤😤😤
yo lets go
tbf ivy is 200x more flexible so
big tire lets go
so if shock was playing like cree brig then he would be stuck with nothing to play
yea
There’s no reason to put chippers on the bench
Control centre is always such a weird map
but ivy has all the projectile shit
Rolled
If Fusion go 2-0 up, do you play Chipsa for the DM
damn rolled
LOL THAT TIRE
r omegalul led
😮
If Fusion go 2-0 up, do you play Chipsa for the DM
@weak bolt what is dm?
I think he meant bm
doom manner
what is bm tho
yeah meant BM, but Doom Manner works
Bad manner
wow
nvm ill just watch this
This is super weird from SF
for this week prob
You can debate me or whatever but smurf us one of the "weakest" players on the team
Smurf is a great winston/Orisa, but not rein
God philly looks really clean
yea
This is good
that kite right into emp bomb played beautifully
Shock have not looked strong on control at all lately
why has philly played 25 matches but some teams have only played 17?
i dont understad
they played 21
They have 'bonus' wins from tournament results
oh
ok
while most of the north east was still having matches
yup
Yes
philly 😩
i open OWL
1 winf or the semi finals. 2 for the runner up. 3 for the winner
1st is like 3
k
weird that shock isn't mirroring dive
yes, 3 for winning tourney, 2 for runner up, and 1 for semi's
and immediately see philly 1-0 shock
wow 3 is alot
Pogchimp
what is happening
yo philly was clean
Sado
Philly don’t want to lose #2
Didn't Philly win the control map in the countdown cup too?
hope that the shock are gonna be revved up next game
Reminder: this is Philly’s best map
sub super sub super
fuck web browser all my homies hate web browser
Shock have been weak in control for a while honestly
as much as I love the fish heesu ivy is fuckin
we need the prepubescent rein player
They throw KotH to pick KR 
super and ans lets go
Yeaaaaah kings row shock
Anubis/Escort could be crazy good for ANS
This is gonna be tough
Shock get KR next Pog
gg
can we get jjonak mvp for the third time
give kariv mvp smh
Super!!!!!!!
carpe v ans widow duel lets go
people really do be not considering the fish for mvp because he’s benched for one tournament 😤😤😤
alarm is nutty tho and equally as deserving
Heesu with the rat
they should announce roty first
👀
damn
NASTY
NASTY
JESUS
carpe chill
absolutely no mercy
Shieeet
Did Super jump or was he booped by a mine?
best widow on the planet fuck all of you
How the fuck are shock getting bodied on kings row
Because junkrat
@plucky rune Saya tho
well
saya didn't 2v6
true
carpe and choi earning that mvp lets go
Carpe's flanks aren't going to work vs Shock
shock is trash lolol
tbf i did say this would be a 3-0
i just didnt think philly was gonna do this to them
As always, the only person in the killfeed is Carpe
Carpe is straight saying enough losses to these bitches
i was hoping for a 5 map series
I wouldn't really judge much from this. It's a pretty weird time for this match. Meta is only like 2 weeks long
how did this team just win a tournament lol
Carpe is too good
carpe is doing whatever the fuck he wants though this isn't a good look
Alarm breaking his back to keep sado alive
map 5 is still easily attainable
With Carpe on the lose?
that’s gonna be hard if Shock doesn’t come up with an answer
Motherfucker is killing everyone
Shock can't really play Striker on his best hero. They can't play Zarya/Winston which they are very good at
1 tick
Taken them 2 mins for 1 tick
ah choi being alpha again
0 ults for Philly
F
damn
jeez philly barely got that
he threw the fight and barely saved it lmao
OMG
that was so close
LOL
HEEESYU
HOLY
wait what happen
Cow
AJJJJJJJJ
HEESE
and people questioned why Heesu played over Carpe in tourney
Lul
Why is Viol2t on Lucio
Was probably trying to get back to point a quick
tbh its weird seeing moth on the bap and violet on the lucio
o i just realized super is on orisa
Hope next is ivy/heesu
I mean moth's bapt is good
so much junkrat today
idk about viol2t's lucio though
no i was just saying because moth plays lucio alot
I think they'd swap if they got a chance. But they were trying to get back to point A and haven't died since
all of Shock is a bit too good at the game
omg winnable
lolol this team is so bad
omg
AGAIN
poggers
clutch again
bruh they did it again
Clutch again
shock lose this map
Wtf man
tbf philly is super clutch its just not in the finals
i love to see shock losing
Fusion are clutching this, they could have easily been held twice
wait that works really
Moth and Violet switching roles
i didnt know that
wow emp stops tire???
yeah if its mid cast
lmao shock is terrible
OMG
They didn't touch LMAO
BIG TUFF
Shock aren't bad, Heesu is just carrying
throw five ults and get nothing
WHAT
it stops if they dont get into the tire before it goes off
absolutely terrible
LWTS GO DUDES
bruh
NAHHH
trash team
did they
AAAAA
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
haha
LETS GOO
Carpe literally did nothing, Heesu carried
