Punk the chad
otlaws will win
Outluls
Outluls win
Virgin outluls vs the chad uprising
Story line of the millenia
justice and gladiators na dark horse
If roar actually does something
winston is his best hero, no?
does roar even have a good hero
But im not sure if it's that good
The only reason i expect this team to not completely eat dirt is because of decay
lmao true
If its a sniper heavy meta
Decay is gonna slap some teams around for fun
And if i remember correctly
Glads are definitely a dark horse yeah
Stitch has a decent sombra
Not gonna beat boston but they're decent
uh huh
at the end dragons will 4-0 whoever is left
and that's just all there is to it baby
inb4 shd chokes and gets 4-0ed by paris in the finals
I have a feeling that the finals will be one sided
idk who will be favored
but It's feeling like it will be a super one sided finals
So no one thinks shock is gonna win the grand finals
hotba hog doe sexy asf
@next mesa bring out the hogba!
General consensus is dragons win ye
I'm disappointed not enough of you have witnessed cr0ng on zarya
his rein was enough to shank the old vancouver titans roster
Cr0nghardt
hog isn't even going to be used with how crazy OWL anas are
Apparently APAC meta is funky
it does appear it might be
there might be some hog run on some maps
however u gotta wait for until sat to get a real idea of what teams think is the best rn
well the meta isnt gonna be solidified on the 1st day
same thing happened in the may melee
florida ran tracer+ashe and rolled up until finals
well teams are gonna run different things that suit them
we saw in some t2 matches that hog was used in some instances
tier 2 is largely not OWL like
ana destroys hog
it could happen
but I doubt it
Yeah. I do think we'll see some hog but not much
at their peak, who is a better widow between ANS and XZI?
just wondering because their aiming style is vastly different
wanna know if this affects their effectiveness
Peak ans would be next level fr
they’re all good
Way too hard to decide
Decay, Saya, Birdring, ANS, Carpe, Xzi, Fleta, Diem, KSP, Linkzr on a good day
hard to rank em when they all have good aim
Linkzr is vastly too inconsistent to put up there
Birdring also is no longer on that level
he is OWL level
I did not deny that
but Ans Xzi, diem, ksp, fleta, decay
they all crap on him, no sweat
it isn't as if he can't compete at all, but he doesn't compare to them
eh that’s really hard to say
they all have good aim in the end
not to mention they Glads are scuffed so it’s in general hard for him to get more value
Even decay just gets shut down easy because his team is garbo
do you genuinely believe Linzkr would be that good on a better team, then?
if so, I have a bridge you might want to buy
nah, not Linkzr
Linkzr is certified inconsistent, even when outlaws were good S1
But I’m sure Birdring would look better than he does already if he was on a better team
nah
lets go Boston
Note Chengdu, NY and Paris
chengdu rather high
Also notice how it’s very unlikely Shanghai misses out on final four
surprised to see fusion above shock
New york below washington?
new york chokers
how is houston below boston?
Houston also chokes
and they generally suck
plus Boston went 10-0 for a . . . round? session? can't remember the name
so that probably gives them statistical edge
Basically
The system knows Houston very well but not all of Boston
Punk is almost an unknown for the system
So he’s just rated higher naturally
Which brings up Boston’s score
i keep hearing about the widow contest but it doesnt really that much
what matters is what they do in the clutch moment
surprisingly birding is back in form
almost like his 2018 self where in the playoffs he was the best widow
True
This is his best year
Idk why
But I see Glads rn
And I feel like I’m looking at pre playoffs London season 1
people think bird is washed but thats because goats was strong for so long
bird was a top 5 dps before goats and now its showing
What sens is his widow on
Every time I see his POV it just jitters a little and looks high
Birdrat best rat
i cant believe this playoff is starting off with the toilet bowl
I love it
hard outlaws 3-0 though
damn it really could've been possible for boston to have a winless season
Bruh so many bandwagons in owl its so annoynig'
I like shanghai and NY from day one and these people are only liking them because theyre the most likely to win. Just to feel correct about the choice.
Well by them I mean shanghai
People usually end up liking the best teams more
Wonder how many fans Shanghai had from Season 1 😄
So many bandwagons... Really, I thought that's what showing support looks like
Season faves was always Shanghai just to watch them go clutch on a win that never came
Shock the team you'd watch only so nomy didn't have to cry anymore eating out of canned food growing up
New York Andbox is just personality driven, but done well thanks to their branding
Can you dm that?
Ah
F1 really made it over OW. How sad is that
I wonder why it didn't make it
It’s really hard to determine CN viewers
Since their streaming websites don’t have concurrent viewers. They do something like a popularity score
So it’s really hard
To get an actual number
LOL should win again. Viewership increased in 3 of the 4 major regions this year
F1 made it over OW because of actual F1 drivers playing the esport, giving it a boost this year
OMG this is incredible. https://twitter.com/VancouverTitans/status/1301233495952429056/photo/1
fall guys + owl collab would be lit
TBH I don't get why 'Overwatch' as a game didn't become an Avengers FPS. It would fit perfectly.
I mean sure the specific abilities would not be the same, but the general idea, even with the role-type heroes...
probably would be too hard to balance if you want to keep in line with the lore
Boston in background 
And outluls
im watching kr contenders rn and its reaper sombra dive
and there is some rein/dva being played as well
i havent talked in here because im 🥺, yk? but im honestly so excited to get back into owl after being too busy to watch
its the only reason i want to like get up tomorrow
so thank u OWL 👍
18 games this weekend 
playoffs in 9 hours :pog:
oof, 5am for me, then 7am assuming it takes 2 hours.
bos-hou would prob be a map 5er tbh
nah
first time it went to 7 maps
itll pribably be a straight 3-0
Houston could have won way more matches, the only thing is theyre so horribly un-clutch
kinda iffy about houstons clutch factor tho
i mean jerry probably has more clutch factor in his fingers than the whole of houston
yeah exactly
fr
but idk if theyll ever drop a map to boston
if the titans didnt, i doubt houston will
tru tru, tho (hot take incoming) teen titans would probably be a middle tier team if they had something like a teamhouse
w8 they dont?
afaik theyre playing in like 3 diff continents
or 2, still very far from each other
Isn’t KSAA playing on high ping as well?
yep
KSAA in Saudi Arabia, sHockWave in Denmark, then the rest in either Canada or US
Playoffs on the same day as the new season
Crazy
New season an hour and a half before playoffs
he, so is there anybody else who is getting errors when trying to use the OWL bracket maker?
I think thats because you cant submit anymore? Idk I had the same issue
On a O-W-L level of play if a roadhog zarya meta arose who would be the main hero’s played with it
Yes
then they would have specialists playing the roles
So Zarya would be an offtank that specializes in zarya, or a goats hitscan DPS zarya
then the hog would be the standard off tank
if their were other metas along side it
then it would be the Main tank on hog, and off tank on zarya
I think it would be a reaper Ashe dps line with Ana and brig
or vice versa
brig is kinda trash
and reaper against hog?
I think sombra to hack would be better
Yes
Reaper has fallen off as well
No
So in my opinion u could swap brig for a mercy Cus the team don’t need much healing
On a O-W-L level of play if a roadhog zarya meta arose who would be the main hero’s played with it
@balmy wolf hog zarya ashe sombra ana mercy
On a O-W-L level of play if a roadhog zarya meta arose who would be the main hero’s played with it
@balmy wolf widow
sounds about right
Eh
and reaper against hog?
@raw ermine his self sustain would allow the healers to focus on play making and allow the Ana to focus on zarya, sleeps and bios on reaper and hog
His self sustain doesn't keep him up into a good hog
And there are some hog nuts in owl
hes not shit
Reaper is shit
@true hound he is a main part of a counter dive comp so no he ain’t
In owl he is played with mCree on a dive roster to counter enemy dive
If you actually watched the teams play those comps
Just look at spark vs Seoul
When did that actually work?
They got ROLLED by dive
Between two evenly matched teams
uh spark 3-0d seoul when they played
That is because the teams who played them didn’t have the correct players
That's not an excuse lol
also
dont play cree into dive
Cree Reaper was played w double shield
play ashe into dive
What are the correct players
Eg. Profit on Cree
reaper is only a KOTH niche pick
Profit played the reaper tho
otherwise hes garbage
Profit was on reaper
Profit played the reaper tho
@Gr1m.#0858 and cree
Only a bit of it
never play Reaper into Dive, just mirror
@true hound KR contenders plays reaper in dive
I have proof that profit played cree @edgy tinsel
How much did he play him
Compared to reaper
And did that have any realistic impact on the game result
So he still played Cree to counter dive also no need to be toxic dude
nobody is being toxic
Toxic?
And I quote “he played it in mcree sombra lmfao”
also , with the cree nerfs that are on live now, it makes him even less useful
That's not toxic?
he did it to counter sombra
@Gr1m.#0858 who is a dive hero
WHAT
Countering a single hero is not countering dive as a whole
she is a backline assassin, not a dive character
Zalty go back to farming noobs in ladder
But he was using Cree to duel reaper too
who is also .. not a dive hero
You expect him to only go for sombra and nothing else?
she is a backline assassin, not a dive character
@Gr1m.#0858 so ur making a category up now
Because genji tracer doom are all “back line assassins” but they are also all dive
She doesn't dive into the enemy?
no
Translocator
Is that a requirement to be a dive hero?
she never dove into the enemy did she
And the entire enemy team knows where you are
which is still rarely used from a translocate in
Using translocate for emp is bad as well
shes part of a dive, she straight up disables you if you dont look out for her
It gives away your location
shes part of a dive, she straight up disables you if you dont look out for her
@true hound yes, but her role isnt to dive
she sets up a dive
with her hacks
etc
So does that mean only, what, 6 heroes are dive?
I think I've counted correctly
Being used in dive doesn't make them a dive hero
i think we are interpreting it differently
On google it says
Dive is a group of hero’s with mobility that can use that mobility to quickly switch from a passive to aggressive style of play
So dive is a comp
Not a type of hero
It's a strategy
If a hero is played in dive they could be labelled a 'dive hero'
we don't typically call mercy zen a dive hero but they are used in classic dive
Ok
you can dm me i post it
what time is the playoffs
Imgur links can be posted though
Thx
@edgy tinsel @feral zodiac @true hound
Does sombra not apply to this category
And reaper too
I never said she didn't
Reaper no
Reaper doesn't
Sombra not really either tbh
He has mobility but he can't actively switch from aggressive to passive and back again
Dive is about suffocating your enemy with different angles of attack
exactly why Widow was good in dive
basically u got a monkey and shit jumping on your ass while Widow takes potshots in the back of the map
Highly mobile
From passive to aggressive
same w/ Sombra
you have to be super wary of her
she disables you, she can come from any angle, while winston jumps in
thats why sombra and widow fit very well into dive
Dive is jumping certain characters before the other dive jumps yours
Ok so now we settled that argument
Sombra is a dive hero
I thought the argument was about reaper countering dive
and cree
They do
Then why aren't they played much
If they stick by their supports it allows them to protect the low mobility hero’s which dive jump
you should just mirror dive
True
I think if dragons are fucking everyone with dive the others will mirror
It’s so much more fun as a mirror
dragons
only these three teams have a chance
not vs dragons
Reapers pick rate in countdown cup
j silly
Imagine carpe vs diem 😳
Symettra and junk were picked more
Cree had 8%
@feral zodiac this was in double shield aswell - where reaper is better
just remembered
diem has been getting the upperhand over carpe
in comp
Countdown cup was a mix
Fury...
and carpe is a hitscan player
Dive and double shield were both used
Fury is a great hog
is he?
Yes
stage 4 last year, he played it in s1 playoffs awell
We never see most tanks play hog
aswell
I just want philly to win a tournament for once
not gonna happen
carpe showing up in big matches doesn't happen
how do you know fusion doesn't stand a chance against dragons
imagine he plays
besides
how do you know fusion doesn't stand a chance against dragons
@next mesa if its a dive mirror, which is most likely is, lip will run circles around heesu on sombra
they might
@edgy tinsel how do you know
philly beat ny
charge beet dragons in a genji meta
they have never played against eachother
philly beat ny
@eager ferry you're going across at least 3 different metas here
@next mesa have you watched heesus sombra? he is wildly inconsistent
well we know fury is an excellent hog
Also heesu is a great sombra he has been improving
He is also wildly inconsistent
not really
yes he is
When charge beat Shanghai the meta was heavily in charge's favour
and you don't know if lip will run circles around heesu
you know why
because you never saw them play eachother
but dragons have diem
Hog is unlikely to be played in owl
carpe - who has never shown up in big matches?
carpe shows up plenty
who has played 1 map
carpe shows up plenty
@next mesa carpe has never shown up in the big matches tho
He is clutchest player in the league
Might as well give up
He is amazing in regular season
unironically chipsa is a good player
He has honestly
when you see him calling characters broken hes being ironic
hes playing a character
watch the karq guide with him and youll see his serious side
Has he?
Season 1 Stage 2 finals
Season 1 Finals
Season 2 Playins
Summer Showdown
Countdown Cup
hasn't shown up in them
Oh wait - he didnt play countdown cup, mb
Eileen over ivy
alarm
anyone unable to fill out the bracket?
Alarm is a good shout
how do you know eileen over ivy
astro?
anyone unable to fill out the bracket?
@grizzled mango have u done the losers brackets
You have never seen them play
how do you know eileen over ivy
@next mesa theory
astro is literally a top 3 lucio
I physically can't get to the bracket page
yes
Oh
astro moth fdgod
astro is literally a top 3 lucio
@eager ferry over moth, ljg, fdgod ?
ljg
this is just my opinion
It's hard to decide between the top lucio's
yes
fdgod is good an all
you can't just say leejaegon is better
he is in top 10
and vice versa
5*
Like, what case can you make to say ljg or astro are better/worse than each other
Same with the other two
cant
They've all been cracked out
because they haven't played against eachother
exactly
Because they haven't played
I can say boston has the ability to sweep dragons and it's not objectively wrong
myungbong is amazing
that is not reasonable
boston, owl s3 champions
too bad they will get swept in first round
No
I predicted it
Boston win the grand finals
4-3 over shanghai
Jerry for mvp
https://brackets.overwatchleague.com/en-us/playoffs/build
anyone else see error on this webpage?
maybe if they started in apac
@grizzled mango yep
its not your fault
it's the server
wait canadians can't?
Game is only open to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States, the District of Columbia,
Canada (excluding Quebec), United Kingdom, France, Germany who are at least eighteen (18) years of
age or older (or at least the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence, whichever is older) as of
date of entry (each, an “Entrant”)

sounds like canada is good?
WTF
BUT THE WEBPAGE IS DOWN
I swear when I chose canada yesterday
it said the contest not available
well not yesterday like 3 days ago
seems like the whole bracket pages are down
the server is down
There we go
Jerry boutta boom the competition
hopefully the servers back up by first game
How do I look at my bracket after I submitted it?
Did you copy the share link
2 hours till toilet bowl
well 2 hours left lets go
i dont know why but i love watching esports its just fun to watch
just like actual sports...?> i dont know why but i love watching esports its just fun to watch
@gloomy vector
jk tho
well i dont like watching sports unless im at the event but esports i can tho
oh i thought you were serious KEKW
yeaa
I forgot to copy the share link, does that mean it's gone?
you posted that 30 min ago and barely any messages have gone by

1 hour boys
they partnering with Netflix smh
fuck blizzard
not available in netherlands, so that means i need to use vpm
vpn*
oh well, the chance of someone getting a perfect bracket is basically 0
but then 10k reward seems reasonable for most
enough people watch that at least one person likely will

Imagine it being the Boston bracket lol
is the mvp gonna be announced today?
Reinforce's power rankings are honestly annoying some times
y?
NOW if its a hog meta'
not likely to be a hog meta
Its understandable for shock to b e 1
Frankie
i mean fusion is number 2.

Choi is or gargoyle are the 2 best hogs
oh i forgot frankie was gonna be on
Am I the only one that feels like shanghai is far above literally everyone?
not the only one here no
Playoffs meta is the thing in most interested in today
I say winston zarya if there is no hog
do u watch all the shanghai matches @balmy wolf?
If its double bubble
And dear god..
Shock are just beyond everyone tbh
i dont think dragons is gonna be 3rd or anything but they can easily get 2nd
then you should know that there on shocks level
where is the livestream
But smurf makes up for it with the best winston gameplay this year
last year they were, but this year Shock's placement is unclear
Fusion have a good zarya winston from what ive seen
its the pre show rn
Bruh is shanghai wins, what a road for the franchise
True
0-40 to champions
Shanghai fans from season 1
HERE I AM
Must be so incredibly happy
Yeah
PogU
their different playstyles make shanghai and shock incomparable until we see them play each other
Last year stage 4 was them showing their roar
TRU
I only really started watching shanghai around the time they started heating up last year
uprising vs outlaws 2.0, shitshow once again
I want it to be a 3-0 tbh
for some reason I really think boston will sweep the outlaws
It was literally a plat game
I want to get to the good matches
you dont like frankie?
i think she is a good analyst at least in CS
she was also in either the WC or finals
in OW
it was 2018 i just dont remember tho
I came into the broadcast to staring into her soul and god damn looked like IT girl version
2018 WC
will she be able to match the jake solo cast or will she end up boomed like no-sleep-hex
yeah i didnt remember if it was finals or WC
You know how ghostbusters made a female squeal? its like that but pennywise
yall got a direct link to the stream on OWL website?
lmaoo the tank hero usage is gonna do a flip
Imagine ball dva
hog was 0,5% but is for sure gonna be #1
oh i was saying her skills for casting/desk was good
WHEREI S THE STRWEAM
Idk about hog in owl
i wasnt talking about her looks

I want it but
Its more difficult for hog to be in owl
bruh
i dont have the stream on olw website can someone find a direct link so i can get tokens too
he said the S WORD
i want the tokens...
well youll get them but just when the match starts
no boston trash
No shock trash
sometimes they are
tbh i dont think shock will win the play off
Shock overrated fusion outdated boston activated
This is a hot take but I have florida in the finals on my brackets for fun cuz why not
We all know whose gonna win
Fleta overrated Rascal outdated Colourhex activated
when do we get MVP
true
c omegalul l omegalul rhex
Before finals match probably
Im predicting fleta winnig mvp with carpe like 1% or 2% away
i kinda want a thing like the widow 1v1s to be on the switch
everyone plays on the switch
it would be funny to see
btw its live on the website yall
is apac on tomorrow morning?
im watching for tokkens for the tank all star skins
because its finally time for tank skins
hydration on dps and blase tank???
LUL
still no muma LUL
Muma hog...
i mean ofc the 2 plat teams are gonna use the competitive plat team comp
polease no..
btw its live on the website yall
@gloomy vector thanks
np
polease no..
@balmy wolf That comp is being used in 4600 rated games
Ohgodohfuck they are gonna play hog
I'm curious who Hydration plays on DPS then
Yeah
ana not enough of a deterrent?
small tip for people who want tokens, watching on the match page has a higher chance of working for some reason
Hog zarya int he highest level of ladder
blase on tank
Means hog
assuming he will play hog
blase hog blase hog
well they had quite a few weeks off to play different strats
who do we think Hydration play
reaper?
it won't be hitscan since surely you'd play Linkzr
well hes known for doom
but hog says no
is this the newest patch
yes
Yes
7 mins
neat
no its not
I like whent hey are
the rumours are this playoff meta is going to be crazy
Yes it is?
i just find it funny that decay is playing
i really want justice to go against fuel
hitscan hasn't been nerfed @balmy wolf
they're not playing on the recent patch, they decided to go back to the pre role-queu patch
goats time pog
also I'd not seen Frankie before but she is nailing it as host
yoooo
I thought it was soe with more makeup
it starts today
lol
And dimples
thats some very blue make up
who is this Frankie?
I think justice gonna win
and why the makeup
soe imposter
no idea
she's a famous esports host @digital cloud
Frankie is some fuckin random
She's done hosting for other games
I think condenders castor?
like csgo I think
if yall dont know frankie she is from CS
yeah 2018\
Frankie Ward is a British desk and stage host who has hosted CS:GO, PUBG, Hearthstone and others. Beginning her esports hosting career with weekly live show, The Bridge, on GINX TV, Frankie has hosted events for DreamHack, ESL, and FACEIT. She is the face of monthly show, The ...
yes Levy
do y'all think we'll see the jjonak roadhog 😳
i only know her for CS
nah Hotba roadhog
also 2018 WC
is actually nasty
shockwaves face seems too big for his body in that picture
Shockwave most deaths
but mainly CS
I think justice 3-1
pretty sure they shopped the titans pics
Hotba has been playing some hog earlier this season already
number 25/25 on deaths on ashe
before he got buffed
HOGBAAA
im actually so hype to see what the meta will be
BLASE ON TANK 
NY did the orisa hog thing during rein dva meta
LUL titans
Greetings
Soe
Imagine Boston beating Houston
Boston 3-0
It’s possible though
If I get washington v vancouver wrong my bracket is already gone
decay will fuck titans in the ass
not the same without soe
He wipes it out
what the fuck is she talking about
CARPE???
222 is the greatest thing to ever happen to this game through out all ranks
lmfao
Carpe is the reason why Fusion wins lol
carpe doesn't carry fully
AND alarm
well everyone on shock can carry each other tbf
you are really underestimating the individual parts that enable carpe
Sado is also insane this year
Except super
sado improved a huge amount
Sado has taken a 180 turn kinda like fearless
Eye makeup is gross tbh
imagine taking the best players and putting them on a team
Fearless is nuts
if boston doesn't do well this play-off i legit feel like they're just gonna get dropped
sado has been massively enabled by the fusion support line
ANS has carried quite a few fights lately, shock really haven't been their best
That eyeshadow is killing me
dude no need for that
shes too colorful i want soe back
Soe is cool
Gonna ask for her insta @ebon aurora
Who's playing?
Is it me or do I love Lucios healing music unironically
you have these 2 cavemen, reinforce and custa and she's just a queen
Good morning gamers
Boston v Houston then Justice v Titans @viral veldt
lucio jazzy music
Its most likely: @scarlet totem<3BLM
Ty
I prefer regular
It's the only two teams to go to map 8 in the regular season 3-2
map 7*
The toilet bowl
Toilet Bowl v2 let's go
I want Boston to win the whole tournament
do we know who is casting?
No
I hope brena nd sideshow
outlaws will play sombra
you guys just watch, Houston about to show us they got to shock's level over the past few days
bruh
ez win
Shocks level? If hog is meta they arent shock level at all
they're not shock level in any meta lol
Blase is good but choi
Where my closet outlaws fans
r/woooosh
Isn’t blase a one trick doom
Choi on hog is like smurfing in bronze from t500
he also plays genji
the entire owl site just fucked up for me https://i.imgur.com/KQYtMrU.png
no, he is a decent genji
neat
and an awful mccree
nah we gonna get the super hog
I did my bracket
blase plays other things
last minute
the entire owl site just fucked up for me https://i.imgur.com/KQYtMrU.png

My least favorite castor is prolly wolf
@deep wolf is that on the app?
