ye

light plaza
#

nice lmao i thought it was me

clear crane
#

can we go back to APEX 😦

weak bolt
#

They've upgraded a bunch of backend production stuff this week and it's causing them a bunch of issues

light plaza
#

aha i see

clear crane
#

ay i see logo

weak bolt
#

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

gloomy vector
#

such a good match

light plaza
#

lmao

weak bolt
#

Imagine if we get back to it, and Boston are 2-0 up at half time

clear crane
#

o they froze as well?

gloomy vector
#

so much is happening

worn falcon
light plaza
#

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

weak bolt
#

I assume they paused at end of first stage

gloomy vector
#

what he called us nerds no way

raw ermine
#

I thought Myunbong meant cotton swab?

weak bolt
#

It does

light plaza
#

there we go

gloomy vector
#

well its back

#

at least

clear crane
#

dafuq they reset the countdown

worn falcon
#

what a bunch of nerds

weak bolt
#

Wonder if the owl client had issues or if they carried on

gloomy vector
#

for some reason i saw the 0 3 and thought it was done LUL

twin stag
#

Uhmm did my team win?

raw ermine
#

sleek tapir
#

Na production

ornate lichen
#

OHH DEFIANT

raw ermine
#

twin stag
#

Glads

clear crane
#

tawdry hamlet
#

wait boston is 2-17 lmaoo

ornate lichen
#

ddos

#

yea bosotn is trash

tawdry hamlet
#

I didn't realize gladiators was 8-9 I swear they were way worse

ornate lichen
#

they are hanging in there

#

solid

tawdry hamlet
#

what teams did boston even beat this season like Washington or something lmao

ornate lichen
#

could be yea

clear crane
#

wait we saw this?

#

i dont remember seeing this

weak bolt
#

We didn't see this, I assume observers got highlights still

ornate lichen
#

bosotn won against the gladiators on may 17th

weak bolt
#

They probably started just taking a bunch of ingame highlights when the stream went off, so they could replay them with OBS after

ornate lichen
#

and they beat houston

#

the rest they lost

#

i just hope the shock wins

tawdry hamlet
#

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 ANGERYCRY

clear crane
#

ow doesnt like u 🙂

weak bolt
#

I've always had problem getting tokens on PC. I just use the app on phone now and it's very reliable

tawdry hamlet
#

phone app time it is

#

thank you for suggestion

gloomy vector
#

yeah when i dont want to watch a match i just put it on my phone

tawdry hamlet
#

I usually have it on my pc just on my other monitor

#

but I stopped getting tokens from that

flat brook
#

I can watch that on the pc

weak bolt
#

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

ornate lichen
#

Wait whats the app?

flat brook
#

Overwatch league website and overwatch league app.

weak bolt
#

There is an app specific for OWL

ornate lichen
#

Oh okay tnx

flat brook
#

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.

tender pivot
#

I'm on coffee number 3 but I will be conscious to see shock fusion

tawdry hamlet
#

briann

#

briannnnnnnn

#

I hate this ad

flat brook
#

We want to see shock and fusion battle each other’s.

clear crane
#

just skip this match

forest raven
#

Stream broke?

clear crane
#

and give glads the win

tawdry hamlet
#

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

forest raven
#

Other teams need to git gud

gloomy vector
#

i agree i really dont care about this match

flat brook
#

I don’t know why New York Excelsior lost to Seoul dynasty today.

forest raven
#

Crusty could coach any owl team to top 4

#

It's not just the players

gloomy vector
#

hey 0-1

flat brook
#

New York Excelsior would go powerful and become powerful.

clear crane
#

Shock didnt really just grab all the good players

#

Crusty deserves a lotttttttttttt of credit

ornate lichen
#

Wait... when i log into the app is everything set to go for me to earn tokens?

gloomy vector
#

wait who think coaches dont add anything draw

clear crane
#

Seoul is the team trying to just grab all the good players lol

tawdry hamlet
#

so how do shock compare to the asian teams, I heard the asian teams are like way better or something

flat brook
#

Crusty is the big coach.

true hound
#

we dont know shock stacks up against shanghai

forest raven
#

We won't know until NA and APAC play each other

true hound
#

because shanghai bodies everyone in APAC

flat brook
#

Asian teach and inspired harder and harder.

ornate lichen
#

Shanghai is really good

clear crane
#

Shock prob stomps everyone besides Shanghai

forest raven
#

Shock would body every team in APAC besides shanghai though

gloomy vector
#

wasnt aero the team USA coach 2019

ornate lichen
#

Ye

tawdry hamlet
#

what about charge?

ornate lichen
#

Nahh

#

Shock wins deff

tawdry hamlet
#

didn't they beat shanghai

clear crane
#

yup

#

and since then they been crap

gloomy vector
#

wow kevster

flat brook
#

I bet Shanghai dragons will beat San Francisco Shock to pieces.

forest raven
#

Glads is legitimately so much better when goose doesn't have to play brig

flat brook
#

Or New York Excelsior will beat San Francisco shock to pieces

tawdry hamlet
#

idk about new york

#

where my london fans at tho lmao

clear crane
#

NY got fucked by Seoul today lol

forest raven
#

NY just got run over by Se OMEGALUL ul

tawdry hamlet
#

where the chengdu fans at though

#

isn't chengdu like a meme or something

flat brook
#

New York Excelsior got destroyed by Seoul dynasty. However, they will learn harder and harder to get back!

gloomy vector
#

this is a sad match

clear crane
#

Chengdu has some really good players honestly

#

but their MT is Ball or Bust

flat brook
#

Chengdu did well, but there’s a chance Chengdu won’t go well.

tawdry hamlet
#

I mean a good ball can be very effective

#

but not always lmao

forest raven
#

its 6am

clear crane
#

they have the best ball by a mile

gloomy vector
#

LUL space

clear crane
#

but cant work in every instance

forest raven
#

birdring just got done fuckin

tawdry hamlet
#

oof

gloomy vector
#

boston should /ff

forest raven
#

u kids are six stacking

weak bolt
#

If Chengdu picked up Guxue they could be a legit nasty team

flat brook
#

Boston is getting rekt today

clear crane
#

yup

#

literally all they missing is Guxue lol

flat brook
#

Boston will lose your gladiator the 1st time

clear crane
#

arguably the best chinese player in the league and hes not on the team

raw ermine
#

I still would like to say

tawdry hamlet
#

no way the gladiators choke this

flat brook
#

Mirror is Vietnam

raw ermine
#

Ball Winston meta

#

team china wins OWWC

#

Ameng Guxue

flat brook
#

Jinmu and Elsa

clear crane
#

Team China has been 2nd place 2 years in a row. So sad

gloomy vector
#

who won 2018?

clear crane
#

SK

gloomy vector
#

oh ok

clear crane
#

SK also threw last year

tawdry hamlet
#

So many of the nutty players are from sk

clear crane
#

their support line was idk and bdosin

#

like wtf

tawdry hamlet
#

so many of the nutty players are asian in general

true hound
#

ye

#

u could assemble like 5 OWWC SK rosters and theyd probably all win the whole thing

weak bolt
#

I think SK kind of stopped caring about WC, where as USA were still totally invested

gloomy vector
#

yeah i recently rewatched last years finals

#

im mean WC

raw ermine
#

SK won every year except last

tawdry hamlet
#

who won last

clear crane
#

wonder who would even be on team usa this year if there theoretically was one

gloomy vector
#

USA

weak bolt
#

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?

forest raven
#

Not super, because he said he wouldn't do it

clear crane
#

no super sin or corey

tawdry hamlet
#

I can't name more than like 5 us players in general lmao

gloomy vector
#

but team US was so stacked last year with corey and sinatraa

clear crane
#

wud prob be some combo of danteh nero ksf?

#

actually theres no hitscan there so maybe dalton

tawdry hamlet
#

Dalton could be good hitscan but idk

#

he isn't great

raw ermine
#

Super isn't gonna be in OWWC?

clear crane
#

he said he doesnt wanna do it anymore

tawdry hamlet
#

ksf and danteh are good though

raw ermine
#

Fair enough

weak bolt
#

Hydration, Space, Danteh, Nero, KSF, Moth, and someone else

raw ermine
#

Gator then?

tawdry hamlet
#

I forgot about moth

raw ermine
#

Not Hydration

tawdry hamlet
#

oh yeah gator too

raw ermine
#

he is a temp fix

clear crane
#

prob Dogman as Flex lol

raw ermine
#

Dogman has been feeding

clear crane
#

theres no other us flex supp i can think of...

raw ermine
#

Sleepy legit might have to go to OWWC

#

He might not wanna

#

he tried last year

weak bolt
#

Just make a meme team from Twitch instead

forest raven
#

They did that in 2016

clear crane
#

2016 was all fan vote

median quarry
#

So is the current patch live in OWL too?

forest raven
#

Poke was on the 2016 canada team

#

pepelaugh

clear crane
#

no current patch will be for playoffs

gloomy vector
#

i just realized that rawcus is gone too 4 WC ppl are gone

median quarry
#

Ah ok

tawdry hamlet
#

carcar for team usa hehe

weak bolt
#

Flats, Emongg, Sleepy, Aspen, Khephri, Noobhunter

clear crane
#

kephri can fuck off lol

raw ermine
#

lmaoooo

clear crane
#

fake accusations are the worst

weak bolt
#

Imagine it

#

"pp, need to .25 that death"

median quarry
#

Switch khephri for bastionmain and I'm in

clear crane
#

wat a flux

median quarry
#

Biiig

clear crane
#

Halo for main support if no Moth PEPESMIRK

median quarry
#

Bad flux

#

Useless

#

Compared to the massive flux from chex earlier

tawdry hamlet
#

this match is boring the shit out of me

weak bolt
#

It'd be cool to do a region based WC instead. 2 NA teams, 2 EU teams, 2 Asia teams

clear crane
#

This is sad....

tawdry hamlet
#

boston pls

clear crane
#

French would prob dominate the EU team haha

tawdry hamlet
#

lmao

clear crane
#

same with KR and Asia. I can see a combo of US and CAD for NA teams

median quarry
#

So I dont watch OWL that much is the 2-17 next to Boston uprising their W/L ratio?

weak bolt
#

EU would allow people like Kevster, KSP, FDGod etc

tawdry hamlet
#

yes

#

lmao

median quarry
#

Damn

clear crane
#

about to be 2-18

median quarry
#

Lmaoo

weak bolt
#

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

median quarry
#

Were their 2 wins 3-2 reverse sweeps?

clear crane
#

their first win

tawdry hamlet
#

I wonder what agilities will do now with genji nerfs

clear crane
#

was the best overwatch match in history

#

7 damn maps

tawdry hamlet
#

I forgot about agilities

#

he is good

clear crane
#

Agilities has a good Doomfist, and a so-so Mei

#

but I bet zYKK will play the Mei

#

wat is this spawn camp

#

😮

tawdry hamlet
#

bruh

plucky rune
#

holy shit that boop lmao

tawdry hamlet
#

Boston please

median quarry
#

Oooooh

tropic herald
#

Wow

plucky rune
#

they're getting spawncamped this ain't good

median quarry
#

They got out

#

Hooray

true hound
#

huge goose

clear crane
#

lol back to spawn camp

tawdry hamlet
#

this is depressing to watch boston get bullied so hard

median quarry
#

Lmao they got back to spawn

gloomy vector
#

this is so sad

tawdry hamlet
#

lmao

#

ult to get out of spawn

clear crane
#

boston needs to drop everyone

gloomy vector
#

this is truely sad

tawdry hamlet
#

lmao bird

#

and then sombra on payload all alone lmao

median quarry
#

Oooh chex

#

Aww

gloomy vector
#

this is actually sad

clear crane
#

wow

#

just ff

gloomy vector
#

/ff

true hound
#

free myunbong

tawdry hamlet
#

lmao

weak bolt
#

Boston will just resign the current titans roster next season without shockwave

clear crane
#

i can totally see that happening

weak bolt
#

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

clear crane
#

Doge?

gloomy vector
#

well some of team doge is in OWl already

median quarry
#

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

tawdry hamlet
#

teamdoge pog champ

weak bolt
#

Dunno who'll be top, as probably got a few months before thye need to do it

clear crane
#

Doge is still not "signed"/sponsored right?

#

basically all their players are doing this for free

weak bolt
#

Titans could likely also just throw large money at teams for players I suppose

tropic herald
#

@clear crane it’s contenders, everyone is doing it for free

clear crane
#

lol granted, but even less den crappy contenders pay

gloomy vector
#

super said he retire before he joined titans/boston

weak bolt
#

Make an UK super team

clear crane
#

I just wonder wat team Mag will be on next year

median quarry
#

I like titans because funny gorilla logo

clear crane
#

I can see Justice being a possibility

tawdry hamlet
#

lmao funny gorilla logo

#

fair enough

#

I like mayhem because funny color

median quarry
#

Yes mayhem very good color

weak bolt
#

I kinda see Mag going to Mayhem

clear crane
#

Someone gonna throw major money for him

#

cause theres not a great 2nd option

weak bolt
#

Depends what current main tanks become free

#

does OGE want to go full Korean, does NXYL keep Mano etc.

gloomy vector
#

i mean Houston can use a good main tank

clear crane
#

a lot of teams can

#

MT is the rarest of rare

gloomy vector
#

yeah off tank is more fun

weak bolt
#

Who'd want to be a MT when you've been in Orisa jail for past year 😄

clear crane
#

outside of Winston I dont see any of the MTs really fun haha

#

ur either a meatshield or stuck in orisa jail

gloomy vector
#

well orisa is not so good rn current patch

weak bolt
#

Rein is fun in rush metas I think

tawdry hamlet
#

that boop doe

#

actually a bruh

weak bolt
#

I'll kinda miss boops like this when halt patch hits OWL

clear crane
#

i expected Punk to be a selfish prick and flux his way out of that boop lol

gloomy vector
#

LUL

median quarry
#

RIP halt 2020

gloomy vector
#

its not like she is unusable it just takes a little more brain power

weak bolt
#

Halt is what has made Orisa so powerful in OWL, with the nerfs I don't think we'll see her much at all

gloomy vector
#

i mean im glad she was a boring hero to play

#

and even worst to watch

clear crane
#

Orisa is just not a fun hero to play regardless lol

upper niche
#

Orisa is basically useless on Nepal and Illios now.

median quarry
#

@weak bolt 3 minutes until your prophecized reverse 3-2 sweep

clear crane
#

each other main tank has some sort of niche

#

while orisa is just sit there and spam

#

and right click sometimes

upper niche
#

Well, not completely useless... but the chance of finding some out of place is a lot lower now.

weak bolt
#

If Boston get the 3-2 reverse sweep I'm going to be tilted I didn't put money on it

gloomy vector
#

well i mean sometimes sigma is just sit there and spam

tropic herald
#

I think it is fine that Orisa is a niche pick

weak bolt
#

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

median quarry
#

Still cant believe there are people that play COD mobile competitively lol

gloomy vector
#

like i think orisa and rein are the most boring to play for separate reasons

clear crane
#

Rein can be fun in close combat maps

#

and wen u just wanna bulldoze ahead

gloomy vector
#

like i think rein is ok to watch but boring to play

weak bolt
#

Rein is fun if you just play the LHCloudy method

median quarry
#

Flank rein is best rein

gloomy vector
#

well cloudy plays him wildly

weak bolt
#

Just hold down mouse1 and W, get a sym/lucio for random flanks

upper niche
#

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

weak bolt
#

Halt was more powerful than Grav surge almost, on a low cooldown

gloomy vector
#

well i mean geni is way lighter than doom tbf

upper niche
#

Yeah, but it didn't hold players there for seconds. They could freely move again immediately.

clear crane
#

wat?

#

lol

true hound
#

halt needed a nerf

#

what

median quarry
#

Yes genji outweighs genji by a ton lmao

gloomy vector
#

i put genji because he was on the mind

true hound
#

Halt needed a fat fucking nerf

#

there’s like 0 way you can argue against that

gloomy vector
#

not really

true hound
#

in no planet was that ability balanced

upper niche
#

Sure, but don't strip it of 45% of its range AND leave the same issues in place.

clear crane
#

we need Hook 1.0 back

true hound
#

the radius was stupidly large

gloomy vector
#

well i guess it better than a shield nerf

weak bolt
#

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

clear crane
#

that was not broken

gloomy vector
#

no the radius wasnt my issue with it

upper niche
#

Hook 1.0 is basically back with the latest patch

true hound
#

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

clear crane
#

u know wat wuda stopped the halt?

#

moria fade 🙂

weak bolt
#

Agreed, thats how it should be

upper niche
#

They changed something to fix the Ball bugs that appeared in 1.47, and as a result broke Hook again.

true hound
#

Ye

clear crane
#

ahh parkour doomfist

gloomy vector
#

like a cooldown nerf would have been ideal for that not a radius nerf

upper niche
#

All yesterday I was playing games with hook behaving like we always used to hate - going around walls, through surfaces etc.

clear crane
#

sweet

gloomy vector
#

dang mirror

clear crane
#

dont change it anymore

#

Hook is fine

#

no one plays him anyways

median quarry
#

Man I love doom in OWL

true hound
#

Same

#

he’s so much fun to watch

clear crane
#

TORB

weak bolt
#

Hook is fun now, it makes the hog 1 tricks in ranked slightly more tolerable

gloomy vector
#

yeah i hate doom in comp but love him in OWL

median quarry
#

Doom is just fun to watch

gloomy vector
#

i agree

true hound
#

ye

#

Doom In a sad state rn tho

#

Esp with hog buffs

median quarry
#

Yeah :(

clear crane
#

o torb worked?

weak bolt
#

Bob contested point after EMP to save them I think

gloomy vector
#

yeah torb isnt bad for sombra

median quarry
#

Torb kinda shits on doom too

true hound
#

Torb shits on echo genji doom tracer

median quarry
#

Constant damage on doom and he doesnt really have a good way to take out turret

true hound
#

It’s a FeelsBadMan

#

I kinda want torb to be nerfed

#

like his turret range

#

but idk

#

He’s mostly been off meta

gloomy vector
#

no

median quarry
#

I think torb is fine

weak bolt
#

Torb is nice for that niche pick. If you nerf him, make his head hitbox smaller at least

median quarry
#

Annoying af as a doom player but eh whatever

gloomy vector
#

i lov e waatching space

true hound
#

ngl everything looks fine compared to ashe and widow

#

but idk

median quarry
#

I just wait till my teammates take the turret out

true hound
#

I wouldn’t mind if torb got nerfed but I think he’s fine where he is

#

Off meta but strong pick

gloomy vector
#

torb nano LUL

median quarry
#

#NanoTurret2020

#

We can nano bob, now it's turret time

vivid bough
#

Bob, bob is who you nano

gloomy vector
#

LUL

#

thats why i love sig

weak bolt
#

Nano anybody who goes to point would be a good start

gloomy vector
#

i hate this map but this one might be the best 2cp

plucky rune
#

this hurts to watch

tawdry hamlet
#

Ooh they buffed hog?

median quarry
#

I prefer volskaya cause more jank

#

Yeah they did

plucky rune
#

he shoots slower but his gun does more damage

tawdry hamlet
#

Epic

plucky rune
#

and they took away his sixth shot

median quarry
#

More consistent 1 shots on 250hp targets iirc

plucky rune
#

so he's back to 5

weak bolt
#

Hog buffs were basically making his hook combo more reliable

plucky rune
#

he's worse outside of hook

tawdry hamlet
#

Im going to have a stroke if I don't get any tokens after watching all na matches today

plucky rune
#

arguably more nerf than buff

median quarry
#

It seems no matter how much I watch I never get tokens

plucky rune
#

he's good once every 8 seconds but outside of that he's slower

median quarry
#

Idrc tho

clear crane
#

wow

tawdry hamlet
#

I don't want to spend 5 dollars on one skin crome

clear crane
#

that perfect positioning so the tire starts on the bottom

#

pog

median quarry
#

Mirror got the Jsilly skills

tawdry hamlet
#

So are Boston players just not pro level or do they just not sync well together

#

Hmm

clear crane
#

their head coach is a trash can

weak bolt
#

They have awful coaching

plucky rune
#

probably the latter

#

every owl player is good enough individually

weak bolt
#

Player wise, they should be able to match up to teams such as Titans, Justice, LAV etc

median quarry
#

Hey i just realised

#

There are 2 LA teams

plucky rune
#

colourhex is nutty as fuck

clear crane
#

Halo is prob the worst MS in the league

median quarry
#

oh how I miss scatter

weak bolt
#

Carcar or Halo, not sure who I'd take

plucky rune
#

glads have a top tier tank line though

clear crane
#

ah American main supports

#

Theres Moth

#

and then theres the rest

weak bolt
#

Could probably make an argument for Kris being not great either

clear crane
#

and Ojee but hes underage

plucky rune
#

it's definitely a tank diff this series

#

oge and space are both nasty

tawdry hamlet
#

Lmao carcar is kind of trash

clear crane
#

o wat!

weak bolt
#

Boston always just look lost as a team, lacking confidence and decision making

plucky rune
#

on a different team colourhex would perform

clear crane
#

Drawable!!!

weak bolt
#

We're going to a map 6

median quarry
#

Yo jerry cleaning up

plucky rune
#

he still performs in the uprising, but he's too good for whatever coach is training them

weak bolt
#

CHex has moments where he pops off on his good heroes, but he struggles with most of the Meta ones

clear crane
#

same with Blase

weak bolt
#

But he's forced to play them as Boston are too cheap to have subs

clear crane
#

They had good moments last year

#

wen they werent forced on GOATs comp

plucky rune
#

oge winston good god they're gonna get fucked

#

oge winston and space dva

#

oh god oh fuck

clear crane
#

plz end this now glads

#

i want the next match

tawdry hamlet
#

Jerry has his moments

weak bolt
#

One lucky junkrat pick could draw this

clear crane
#

wow they shuda left space alive

plucky rune
#

myunbong fuckin clutch with that dva kill holy shit

tawdry hamlet
#

Damn it

weak bolt
#

Holy crap that winston burn

clear crane

only reason they got that

tawdry hamlet
#

I don't want another match of this dogshit series pls

I see the reverse sweep

tawdry hamlet
#

I swear to God if that isn't a fluke im going to kms

true hound
#

Boston never loses to glads

#

it can’t happen

#

world will end

plucky rune
#

zen carry lets go

weak bolt
#

Gladiators now boomed, this is going to a Map 6 reverse sweep

plucky rune
#

go uprising go

#

temple of drawnubis strikes again

clear crane
#

we can technically have a draw on this map as well

weak bolt
#

This could snowball massively

plucky rune
#

it already has

gloomy vector
#

This is so funny they are literally throwing

plucky rune
#

the cart hasn't stopped moving since first point

gloomy vector
#

I mean door has to open LUL

obtuse socket
#

Boston are so good 👍🏿

clear crane
#

sigh

plucky rune
#

boston does it faster

#

ez

weak bolt
#

Technically still winnable

plucky rune
#

your optimism is admirable

clear crane
#

so is urs 🙂

obtuse socket
#

Just hurry up and give us the good game

weak bolt
#

I have 0 optimism, it's just funny to pretend

obtuse socket
#

Boston fans are probably overjoyed over this draw

true hound
#

It’s their only glimmer of hope

plucky rune
#

oge and space on a dive map

true hound
#

oof

plucky rune
#

this wasn't going to end well

true hound
#

Bring us cloudy

tawdry hamlet
#

I mean reverse sweep means more watch time and more free tokens

#

so optimism go off

plucky rune
#

so does sym have a 100% pick rate on control maps

weak bolt
#

I'm kind of amazed Boston haven't just pulled out of OWL yet. As an Org they clearly dont give a shit

gloomy vector
#

I have 0 optimism, it's just funny to pretend
@weak bolt LUL

clear crane
#

i mean is blizzard gonna give them their 20 mil back?

weak bolt
#

How many years does that 20mil actually get you?

tawdry hamlet
#

sleepy monke

clear crane
#

until another organization decides to buy it from them

plucky rune
#

boston does it faster lets go

tawdry hamlet
#

I don't understand how an esports organization can profit

plucky rune
#

birdring with that shitty emp lmao

tawdry hamlet
#

it just seems like so many chance things

clear crane
#

i think apex teams profitted

weak bolt
#

Merch sales is probably their main income

clear crane
#

the way blizzard is trying to shoehorn all this

tawdry hamlet
#

sponsors is my guess

plucky rune
#

merch sales

clear crane
#

and also the homestands were supposed to be a draw as well

plucky rune
#

gotta get that almost default look for pharah

weak bolt
#

Jerseys are kinda expensive, probably makes decent money

tawdry hamlet
#

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

clear crane
#

i meann

#

look at the wnba

#

im suprised they make money lol

tawdry hamlet
#

they don't

#

they have not made a profit in years

#

if ever

weak bolt
#

They've already given the biggest investment at the buy in

tawdry hamlet
#

same with usps

weak bolt
#

Now they're investing fuck all

tawdry hamlet
#

thank god

#

this series is over

#

hopefully

#

lmao

plucky rune
#

guys they capped first

#

wait

#

nevermind

clear crane
#

i dont think the usps wud ever make a revenue

#

but they are essential lol

gloomy vector
#

LUL

plucky rune

i spoke too soon

tawdry hamlet
#

thank god

true hound
#

Ow

It hurts

I don’t even support Boston but ow

ornate lichen
#

Holy sht

tawdry hamlet
#

that was one of the first times I have watched a match that was just boring as fuck

#

like actually

ornate lichen
#

Boston are pathetic

tropic herald
#

I’m very glad that series was quick

true hound
#

Free Boston players

weak bolt
#

I just feel for the Boston players honestly

supple prism
#

do they even practice?

gloomy vector
#

I actually laughed out loud for that obe

#

one

tawdry hamlet
#

that was my question, like who tf do they scrim with if at all

plucky rune
#

free chex

tawdry hamlet
#

how can they be so bad

weak bolt
#

They have like 0 subs, awful coaching, and are probably on $50k minimum salaries

tropic herald
#

Hey guys

tawdry hamlet
#

hi

tropic herald
#

Glads finally beat Boston

supple prism
#

is chex even good?

tropic herald
#

1-6

obtuse socket
#

I mean I think they’d rather get 50k and lose than be in contenders

tawdry hamlet
#

true

ornate lichen
#

@obtuse socket fax

weak bolt
#

yeah the money is why they stay

forest raven
#

50k and free housing

tawdry hamlet
#

but damn this shit sad to watch

clear crane
#

its pretty easy to exploit esports players

#

esp wen u get older

gloomy vector
#

Big goose actually player of the match

clear crane
#

and younger ppl come up

obtuse socket
#

Isn’t it like at least double minimum wage

#

Idk what us wages are

plucky rune
#

oge and space kicked their teeth in

#

and minimum wage is set by the state iirc

supple prism
#

its basically double

weak bolt
#

Got to wonder how much it impacts your mental though. Losing every week

clear crane
#

50k is enough money

#

for most places in the usa

#

but not major cities like

supple prism
#

50k is above the average

clear crane
#

like LA and NYC

plucky rune
#

it's not just the 50k though

#

boston lives in a team house

gloomy vector
#

Its depends 9n the state

forest raven
#

They get free housing

gloomy vector
#

On

weak bolt
#

Got to consider that this is basically their Career though, and you're lucky to get maybe 3+ years of it

forest raven
#

They don't have to pay rent

plucky rune
#

so that 50k is basically all disposable income

clear crane
#

50k pre tax

#

which in reality is prob 30k

supple prism
#

it should be all savings

tawdry hamlet
#

that is true considering a lot of pros retire at like 20

gloomy vector
#

Lucky for a 3 year that isn't lucky

tawdry hamlet
#

the window to make money kind of small

gloomy vector
#

Multi year contracts are ba

#

Bad

plucky rune
#

they got carpe in for a 3 year contract at philly iirc

clear crane
#

Carpe must have a nice deal

plucky rune
#

their golden fish

#

carpe makes bank and plays with a decent team

tawdry hamlet
#

ok but is your pfp peter griffin as a geisha or some shit

weak bolt
#

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

plucky rune
#

custa beat the titans then dipped lmao

clear crane
#

yea esports pro has a very short life

ornate lichen
#

Carpe plays with a tpp 3 team

tawdry hamlet
#

unless you play something like counter strike or wow where the game will live forever

clear crane
#

and a bunch of players drop out of academics as well to get better

gloomy vector
#

Still multi year contracts doent really benefit players too much

plucky rune
#

feel like with better coaching philly could be the top team

tawdry hamlet
#

or cod where they release game after game

ornate lichen
#

Yea bcs e sports change a lot quicker then regular sports

#

Talking abt metas

clear crane
#

mutlti year can be good or bad

weak bolt
#

Multi year contracts are a win if you don't give a shit about playing. Look at the Fuel players lol

clear crane
#

if the league shuts down next year

tropic herald
#

Your goal is to be in a good esport or have a good persona

clear crane
#

i think the org still has to pay out

tropic herald
#

So don’t play OW pro

gloomy vector
#

Ok I guess in that sense its good but overall it isn't good for the players

weak bolt
#

The more succesful players will be the ones who build up a stream or coaching background while also playing

plucky rune
#

be a pro starcraft player and move to korea

ornate lichen
#

I just want shock to win now

#

Sooo bad

narrow bloom
#

Same here

plucky rune
#

south korea's government is a starcraftocracy

tawdry hamlet
#

I lowkey want philly to win

clear crane
#

shock has won enough

#

go philly

gloomy vector
#

And this isn't a new view many pro also stated this

tawdry hamlet
#

just be like xqc, and be half pro half streamer and go in the middle

weak bolt
#

The loser of this match likely ends up vs Shanghai in Grand Finals lol

tawdry hamlet
#

kind of like rocket league pros

#

that have side hustle streaming

ornate lichen
#

I mean best of luck to philly and all, but im all for shock

plucky rune
#

biggoose looks like howtobasic

#

lmao

tawdry hamlet
#

lmaoo

ornate lichen
#

They just seem like a better team overall

tawdry hamlet
#

I see it

clear crane
#

Loser of this match prob plays Paris

ornate lichen
#

clear crane
#

gloomy vector
#

Well shock gets 3 more ez games after this so 3 free wins

plucky rune
#

wait not howtobasic the one guy in the filthy frank videos

dark hedge
#

clear crane
#

Imagine if Titans org just let the players stay in korea...

#

clear crane
#

thats one of bostons 2 wins lol

gloomy vector
#

Maybe apac might not have changed that drastically

dark hedge
#

how

weak bolt
#

It's one of those weird rivalry things that occurs in sports lol

clear crane
#

Punk came and fucked

tropic herald
#

Boston was at their best and Glads was at their worst

clear crane
#

was Kevster's debut game too iirc

forest raven
#

Punk has since been coached into mediocrity by Mineral

clear crane
#

and the same day onigod debut loss to titans 3-0

plucky rune
#

the only rivalry that was worth following was goats shock vs goats titans

weak bolt
#

I'm not sure how Glads lost to Boston in all of S2, but S1 can believe it as Boston weren't bad

plucky rune
#

then when goats died titans kind of went to shit

tropic herald
#

I enjoy watching Battle of Texas Bc it’s a toilet bowl every time

plucky rune
#

so what are the odds for shock v fusion

gloomy vector
#

I dont think this will be a 3-1 this is either gonna be a close 3-2 or full out 3 - 0

tropic herald
#

Fusion can take a map but they won’t win

plucky rune
#

cannot wait for super on the mercy

clear crane
#

I can see Philly winning

gloomy vector
#

No its super zen

plucky rune

true hound

Ye

#

If it’s like a pure, 100% must play doom

fierce narwhal
#

yea

true hound
#

There’s no reason to put chippers on the bench

weak bolt

Control centre is always such a weird map

true hound

Why is smurf on rein instead of super

gloomy vector
#

You can debate me or whatever but smurf us one of the "weakest" players on the team

fierce narwhal
#

yea

#

wow that was clean

weak bolt
#

Smurf is a great winston/Orisa, but not rein

true hound
#

God philly looks really clean

fierce narwhal
#

yea

clear crane
#

This is good

true hound
#

that kite right into emp bomb played beautifully

weak bolt
#

Shock have not looked strong on control at all lately

fierce narwhal
#

why has philly played 25 matches but some teams have only played 17?

#

i dont understad

clear crane
#

they played 21

weak bolt
#

They have 'bonus' wins from tournament results

fierce narwhal
#

oh

clear crane
#

and because wen covid was happening

#

some matches got postponed

fierce narwhal
#

ok

clear crane
#

while most of the north east was still having matches

fierce narwhal
#

so do tournaments give them regular season wins?

#

clear crane
#

gloomy vector

As always, the only person in the killfeed is Carpe

clear crane
#

Carpe is straight saying enough losses to these bitches

plucky rune
#

i was hoping for a 5 map series

weak bolt
#

I wouldn't really judge much from this. It's a pretty weird time for this match. Meta is only like 2 weeks long

limpid sable
#

how did this team just win a tournament lol

true hound
#

Carpe is too good

plucky rune

carpe is doing whatever the fuck he wants though this isn't a good look

With Carpe on the lose?

#

that’s gonna be hard if Shock doesn’t come up with an answer

#

Motherfucker is killing everyone

weak bolt

Shock can't really play Striker on his best hero. They can't play Zarya/Winston which they are very good at
