the struggle is too much

hunters
what a map
everyone liked that one
You have now entered the Chengdu Zone.
bruh
imagine leaking a live stream
just watch the chinese broadcast, I cannot stress this enough
who are you talking to
ok
it's now a charge circlejerk, we vibin
@velvet hawk wow this became a religious vc fast
yeah... I'm just playing DF Parkour and occasionally checking the game
Getting a bit mad
lmao, of course
it's parkour
can't wait to start talking about trans rights during the Hangzhou vs Seoul
Smurf > mano
Chengdu w
They really got us
They're gonna play the real match tomorrow
ATL forfeited against boston
Because they were too scared
SBB
God damn
pls win chengdu
poggers match
hunters win this
nyxl losing to hunters would be the best and worst thing to happen to apac
it's happened before
it would lock the dragons and charge to the playoffs tbh unless spark/chengdu pull some insane shit
yep
remember when people thought that nyxl would be the team to beat Shanghai before they moved from NA to Korea?
shit people never say about nyxl fans: they really love their players after a sudden loss
If Chengdu wins, there will be no remaining perfect brackets.
im not against chengdu at all but it MIGHT be 3-Overwatch if nyxl loses
there are no perfect brackets rn
shanghai lost their first match against chengdu 3-0
team selection fked it all up
if someone can beat sd its chengdu
the chengdu zone is a powerful force
yes
no. s's bracket has both CDH and NYE in separate games - so no matter who wins, he gets that wrong.
Jokers bracket has NYE beating CDH in the same match.
So the only remaining possible perfect bracket is TheJoker789.
there are millions of combinations you could have
everone lost already lmao
??? the selection fcked all the brackets wdym
the picks and the final map score in the grand finals guaranteed it
if chengdu wins
Also, he has NYE beating SHD tomorrow if NYE beats CDH today so... lol. yeah, it's over ๐
anyways this is some good overwatch
@upper niche jokers bracket already got broken btw, shock picked washington but in his bracket they picked valiant
very unlikely to see a chengdu upset
it's a mess, 100k for Bobby Kotick
he has the perfect bracket and if not he just gets it by default
god the video delay is borderline unwatchable sometimes
what are you watching the game on? its still 1st map on yt
bilibili
none
pls dont spoil then
zero. I don't need to fast forawrd to catch up at random intervals
then stop opening the spoilers, I'm doing my part
it's up to the rest of this chat to not spoil it with me
yt vod is fucked
you didnt put spoilers on man
@upper niche jokers bracket already got broken btw, shock picked washington but in his bracket they picked valiant
@umbral zodiac It turns out team selections don't count for perfect brackets, only wins. Who knows the way they're just making up rules on the go.

@umbral zodiac It turns out team selections don't count for perfect brackets, only wins. Who knows the way they're just making up rules on the go.
@upper niche ??? im all for people winning but damn the rules are so bad
@upper niche this was also the case for Alan Gai who won the CC tournament bracket, no prizes ofc he was mental
They're not even applying the scores as they have in the rules document.
as in the prediction against shock v paris, impossible
chengdu boston and washington are doing better than expected so im pretty happy with the playoffs
you didnt put spoilers on man
@balmy wolf you click on a spoiler you can't unhide it unless you leave the channel
i think he meant the text obi
nah dont apologize
forgiven i concede
obi miss spoilers
god how tf did chengdu stall that for so long
zen mercy is not a stall comp at all
ggs
HOw did they LOSE THIS
lets gooooooooo
chengdu did well tho 2 - 3
ggs
gg
lol chungdone.
a good gg
spoilers!!!
!jumbo 
ggs go next season
Haksal's sombra really improved over that series
LETS GOOOOOO
bring back yangxiaolong
do you want 0 man EMPs @sullen berry
I love sbb and haksal together tbh
sbb and haksal are great
yeah this is the one nyxl
sbb is their main shotcaller iirc
that's the team comp fans have been waiting for
gladiators vs fusion later, imagine fusion playing doomfist
glads looked a bit shaky last night
Mano cheated tbh
and still saved it at the end
Justice vs Shock is gonna be a good one
Mano deserves at least an honorable mention at mvp
im thinking 2-3 for justice v shock with justice winning
cheated death many times in his OW League career
hot take lmao
wow
we might as well have another in NA
That take gave me a 3rd degree
justice winning 
I mean
Why the laugh?
Justice are on fire rn
idk man decay stonks are pretty high rn and we dont know how shock will perform in this meta
Free for all meta
as far as we can see hog zarya dumpsters dive
Choi hog ๐คค
remember that justice 3-0d the fuel
a 3-0 is still a 3-0
Decay winning instead of losing
couldn't even take a map off them
Call of ~Duty~ Toxic Masculinity ad plays
are you assuming only men are toxic? that's toxic
fuel also had a set strat on numbani and couldn't get point a
it's looking pretty clean for mayhem, eternal, shock and philly anyways
sounds like i hit a nerve
give me a quality upset this round
Fusion losing to Gladiators, lulw
no chance in hell lol
one of the smaller perks is the post match interviews they do over there
i can only see atl and val winning
Balls I had Boston beating fusion
JJonak i believe still admits molly is a great ana
nothing new, but that's all I can make out
and JJonak's thoughts on DVA in the meta...
I'm mostly excited for NA meeting APAC
Leave really does define this team's chances going deeper in the playoffs
it's in his name
too bad APAC and na have similar metas
a clash of different metas would be sick to watch
Shd vs sfs tbh
(I know this is sirious and all but I just want to say that I love your pfp luigi)
thanks that's what I look like after a 15 game losing streak
Charge vs Shanghai finals
That what I look like when Iโm forced into an orisa meta
Bro I fuckin hate orisa
I can't see orisa being played much against hoggers
do u hate fun?
you are literally the first person Iโve ever seen say orisa is fun lmao
^
2nd most played hero for me
let's reign it in guys
but I don't... disagree?
let's talk about owl
we can't reign it in they just killed boston
^
trying to watch a dynasty here crumble
would've been a closer match if they didn't run orisa on havana
cause orisa ๐คข
chill
I hate that name
But yea Seoul wins
obi with the Chinese streams I see
Where can you watch the leauge games?
so good I watched it TWICE
????
check the channel description
tobi?
thx
Tobi is good wdym
not that good but he isn't bad
no I know
and I'm mostly memeing
Just there was a whole angry monkey and he brings out the blaster we love to see it
architect the rat
they are making a mistake not running torb
who?
wacky kill ||onto marvel1's mech||
whoops wrong skin my bad
that tire is thicc damn
this map is chaos
Man nyxl vs chengdu was 2 hrs long
HAM MO DOWN!
big spark play
bruh
underwhelming spark play ;-;
Gesture clapped on the Pig
"real charge hours" 
Your bracket has a similar ending to me acc
with the winners bracket?
I have Charge beating Shanghai, then losing to them and then winning it
in the grand grand finals
yeah
don't forget they just need to lock in the 2nd seed
they don't face until NA makes it over to Korea
ye
ye.. reaper though.. :(
I have seoul beating spark then losing to shanghai
Whilst charge lose to NY
Then beat them later on
Audio not synced for anyone else?
it's fine for me
Games are over?
To shreds you say.
Or no
still going
Seoul vs charge rn
nope, last series @forest raven
Pogu
2nd map
Seoul vs charge rn
@round cargo u mean spark? ๐
i'm just happy big daddy hog is getting some play in owl
I;m not :)
Apart from when Cr0ng did it about 4 months ago and won thematch off of it
im sorry to hear that
Hog makes me sad. Rein Zarya is fun .Hog Zarya is scary
Cr0ng hog would be great
I think Nero willl have to hog
it shouldn't surprise me if one vod isn't enough for them to get a read on how well he will play
Charge will run Hog and Ball torture and we win.. ez clap
i have charge and dragons in grand finals
Same
redemption story in losers bracket tho
I have Charge winning because of NO particular bias
smart
I rly want Charge to win :(
Shanghai are super scary though.
I think this is one of the metas that Shanghai may not be as dominant in. Even tho that's weird cos they have best sombra, monkey, snipers etc, it's less teamwork based now and more haha you got hooked, unlucky pal
i want to see dragons play geguri
Tbh
Does she have a good hog?
If not
No reason to play her
If they do it would be a throw
Who won last match?
NY 3-2 @viral veldt
Ty
Her dva isnt bad at all
Ye
how does ana get up to the top there
Im not watching stream
What
nevermind
Being a Spark fan is suffering
Now THAT is a rude wakeup call. โฐ @OW_Creative sets up for @Fits_ow!
#TigerNation #OWL2020
how
๐
Misaka would be disappointed
I have a few questions
hangzhou like lets not swap lets not counter anything
They were running double flex dps
did Seoul use a sym to tp him up there?
good for my bracket
Which made sense for Sombra Tracer but then Seoul hard read them
Why do Seoul only play good when they get eliminated
Why canโt they just be good all the time
Hello everyone! :)
How does the league point system work? Do I get league points for watching 1 hour long or more a livestream that is actually live or would I also get league points for watching old livestreams from the past?
You only get tokens on live streams
live
Ah okay thx!
bruh they were just letting profit kill bebe on anubis
Where is the selection show? Chinese or Korean stream?
Being a Spark fan is suffering
@grizzled badger try being a spitfire fan
@tropic herald chinese
usually
spitfire has been suffering
new york has been trying
but I'm not convinved they can go deep
new york is kinda shaky
haksals sombra might improve though so we gotta wait and see tomorrow ig
first match tomorrow for APAC: Shanghai vs New York
I'm getting vibes of how Moon feels moving away from Valiant
this is where jokers bracket truly gets tested 0.0
1 perfect bracket left omegalul
Wtf
just one.
it was quite the snowball last time
I guess
joker promised them a part of the winnings ofc
no dynasty will put up a bigger fight
I would assume Seoul was a weaker team overall
the threat of either teams against charge is pretty huge
so it's win-win thanks to first seed
But I guess Seoul gave them one of their only Ls in the season
inconsequential, but worth eliminating early
But apart from that
seoul looked better than nyxl today, but it might just be the opponents not sure
Either way everyone is fighting for second place because ain't nobody losing to the dragons lol
Dear god this final is gonna be one sided
I mean ofc I have my favorite team winning but shanghai is my second fav but im guaranteeing thats theyll win
there are 0 perfect brackets left
also idk abt that one
like obviously i know philadelphia are good but i dont think they have gotten to peak
regardless of the fact that 2 of their superstars were nominated for mvp
one of them even being a rookie
(alarm should win btw)
If crong wasn't on the shortlist, I would've went alarm
Bunch of good games coming up tonight
all i know is if philly steps up on their tank play in this meta, carpe will thrive.
@worn falcon
what we wanted: CDH 2-3 HZS 3-2
What we got instead: ||NYE 3-2 SEO 3-0||
spoilers in case you haven't watched
i never end up watching the asia games
i stay up till 4 and pass tf out
and then wake up at 9 when those games finish
pensive
all i know is if philly steps up on their tank play in this meta, carpe will thrive.
@unkempt gale carpe doesn't thrive in high pressure tho, he's failed time and time again in high pressure
how dont ppl realise this yet
true, but thats what i mean by step up in the tank play
i see philly right now being able to do what washington justice has done the past two nights
fury/poko sado consistently step up
is this playoffs single elim?
because everyone expected decay to carry, stitch has been allowed to just do whatever and pop tf off
only the first 2 rounds in NA and the first round in ACAP
@jagged crater its double from now on
hello is this playoffs single elim? Meaning one team loses once they're out of season
ok
but yeah like
idk
im pretty sure they'll have poko playing the hog if they run meta
which would actually work really well
i havent seen either play the hero tbh so i wouldnt know
he played it alot on spitfire
all i know is i do remember seeing poko pop tf off with a 4k on numbani
also, if we are having lower tier hogs like boston uprisings hog (i genuinely cannot think of his name rn) pulling off 3-4ks, imagine what the top teams are doing rn
I'm just glad that Tobi got his revenge
The patch isn't changing
i know
but please god
no
i hate torb rn as it is
now he got BUFFED?
at least his turret wasnt changed
true
His right click
i always use primary fire
Because it uses more ammo
@sullen berry was close :(
spark was not, disappointingly
I think NA is going to be a long day today
Unless Shock are full playoffs mode I think Paris Atlanta is the only fast game
Of course I say this but then every game is a 3-0 and Iโll be disappointed
#OWL2020 playoff script looks familiar...
or no?
@SeoulDynasty
#ChargeForward
An ode to the greatest rivalry for this team since sliced bread and a hot dog

Why are florida FLA instead of FLM
FLoridA
why the emphasis on the A is a different question
Same reason Boston is BOS not BOU
Well your options for Florida
Are FLO, which is a name, FLI which doesnโt make me think of Florida and FLA which actually makes me think of Florida
You also have some others that I found on wikipedia. Unlikely they may be, but It can happen
a) Flo, Norway
b) Flo Parish, Sweden
c) Flo, Texas, U.S.
d) Florida, a state in the US - not a particular city (thanks activision blizzard)
Also FLA is the normal abbreviation anyways
Nyxl vs chengdu
yep it's just an abbreviation used since their founding to refer to FLoridA
...
now you're just going around in circles
look at the conventions of all the chinese teams
they all follow you logic, right
SHD
CDH
Yes
what you might have missed is all the NA and EU teams don't do that
LDN
DAL
HOU
TOR
Ye but na and eu are scuffed
your point being Florida should follow the APAC convention
instead of what london has already done?
they've also tried two letter versions but while that's easier
HOU is not as recognizable as HO
my point was why is it not FLM, not that it should be FLM
better question - let's just name Gladiators and Valiant LAV and LAG
and see how that goes for month
surely that can't be confusing?
just like
cc
US Measuring things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_units
just seems ingrained no matter how much the US people I've grown up with prefer metric system
and the exact same historical meaning is there behind FLA too
Florida has been forever known as FLA why should OWL have the privilege to change it
Why u guys being so in depth about this
and you kept asking lmao
Jaws as deadpool is nothing short of amazing
Hex-hawkeye
UberThor
captain overwatch
that post lmao
how did he get half those shots
he might just be a god of photoshop for some I guess
the probably might come from all sorts of places to get quality this good
not just those glorious facecams in * 1080p *
lmfao sideshow
Love Achilios war machine too
My god
Bren as captain marvel is beautiful
Custa as iron man and hex as hawkeye are also kinda cool
Custark is god tier
Not even an NY fan but
Can we talk about how bad Doha is?
Was he every really that good? If he was heโs washed up
Have you considered he plays on Dallas?
Ok so?
Note is doing well
Decay did better when they subbed him in
Onigod is better than him
Look at Houston, not everyone is good but you can tell Danteh is really good
https://twitter.com/san53go/status/1302272282933579777?s=21
who is that? is that libero?
on Havana their was a lot
where did the mano thing come from
selection show?
seoul so weird
put marve1 on dva when you have toyou and michelle
weirdchamp
yeah dude
it was prior to the start of their match
SBB saying he hasn't experienced a season victory
and would love to be a part of one
a season victory?

SS reaction to boston winning
We've come a long way from the McMayhem days.
Playoffs Mayhem: Activated. https://t.co/byJ0uLFoau
Look at this
Itโs so good
Congratulations to "TheJoker789" for winning the brackets challenge
this dude has NY beating Shanghai twice but still losing to them in the grand finals
sums up the end of yesterday's match against toronto
he does sadly
however
you can still rack up points and out perform based on your losers and finals picks
His bracket is dead in NA
apart from the perfect bracket, that race is far from over
Well I dont think his asia one will be correct
guessing who takes the top 2 in each region will be interesting
I love ny but I dont think they can beat shanghai
just look at that asia semis
i found some reasonably amusing google search terms from Florida mayhem
- how to join florida mayhem
- what is florida mayhem
- who owns florida mayhem
- why did florida mayhem change colours
- why is florida mayhem so bad
if you searched any other team, what are they going to pick up
- is seoul dynasty good
- what happened to seoul dynasty
- will smith seoul dynasty
yes
What kind of comps were apac running for the latest games?
Sombra stuff? hog torture?
Did New York win
ye
So itโs Shanghai be soel tomorrow
yeahhh
Oh shit
I think we all know thats gonna happen
Ok fair enough
We held our own against Shanghai meaning the dynasty
Yeah and personally I think this game will decide whether ny can finally get the win they shouldve had in season 2
1*
Yeah
If they hold their own and make it a good match, i see them finishing the losers bracket and going to finals
Would it be fair to say sombra is meta in apac?
it usually is
shd prolly gonna clap apac to the finals there, then probably manhandle most of na
Dragons literally can't lose in a dive sombra meta
I'm interested to see Eileen's Sombra again. It was looking good in the past
it's his most consistent against fits
Eh
no double offtnak
oh damn space
Space and Oge Hog and Ball torture pogu
more torb
nice, they kept two good defensive ults too
this is totally goats
did u see that?
sado on da rein
okay philly win unless they beef
Glads have ults.
Ez dub
Biggoose gotta hide
biggoose jsut gonna keep that ult forever
holy shit ivy
Heesu needed to look for Bigg00se there
yeah rein/winston dva sombra reaper moira lucio is 222 goats
Hoge
alarm should swap to ana
ah rite. i guess that's tru
its all about cycling and having the better emp timing
Ye.. Heesu got a supa quick emp compared to the ring
wtf
Yeah
stream
lol yeah
wat a long fight
Garden is so stallable
Great hack.
200 ping warrior
Same. Mirror is like slightly more flexible Hydration at this point and I don't want to see an Outlaws V2
im curious on what Birding's condition
Same.. it's such bad timing
good enough to play, i guess
Still though. Can't be at his prime
what was birdring doing backk there
the fusion feel really similar to the dragons
but worse ๐
fusion can just snowball this point forever
debatable
ehh

i just think the fusion have so much synergy
regardless
im not a big fan of mirror
They do have similar parts to every role.. like MT and DPS
Baited.
lmfaoooo
Doom in 2020
sacrificial lucio
...
junk sym is possibly the least fun comp to play into
mirror
agreed Empathy
dps dies again
Spain without the S
for no reason
just put Mirror on Pharah again
i did think this was gonna be a good match
o.o Mirror did some stuff there tbf
more Doom
That is one of my favourite DOom E spots
junkrat and mei are tedious heroes to play against in general
nice play from glads
omg how
gotta play faster than philly
solid stuff hydration mirror
๐
philly has ults doe
like where is the difference
mirror throw pick
same energy I get watching surefour and hydration at their peak
Agreed Obi..
grs
thats what I was saying
tat was winnable for glads
LETS GO BOYS
glaiators
they had their tanks back quick
couldnhave wpon
could be a good match
even tho glads lost that this is looking like a great match
if mirror didnt die
FUSIONS 1-0
-.-
mirror is like doha but gladiators
I donโt know why glads keep trying to play mirror
la gladiators were clutching that so hard
More like Hydration Shaggy
Why play mirror especially with kevsters play yesterday
He can't sombra that well
?
that was just last years grandfinals with brawl
goes onto tanks and then just plays Doom and pharah
i feel like glads coulda done better with kevster in and mirror on zarya
Yeah that would've been nice to see
holy fuck owl looks like plat comp rn
sand wdym mirror was doing well

but both teams played well
Alarm is the answer ๐
mirror does not deserve to be on the team
YT chat is just ๐ฅ
I don't understand why Mirror was fielded though. I think Kevster can Pharah and DOom
Yeah I think kevster should sub in
mirror and doha should resign
it's not S2, they can't run D.va, Zarya, rein with mirror
@balmy wolf who are you? some salty dallas fan? DOha is good
maybe kevster wasnt playing well on doom in scrims
he is bad wymm
maybe mirror was doing better
im not a fan of any team
youre upset obv cuz u had to comment
it has to be map specific picks
Saying Doha is bad is just incorrect. Didn't you say Onigod was better than Decay?
depending on who plays
numbani???
Your takes aren't even hot.. they're just bad
i said he was better than doha dipsh*t
i dont think kevster would have provided more than mirror id they prob would have done the same amount
dude carpe thrives on kings row and numbani
learn to read'
whats happening?
I was thinking Hollywood or Kings
time to see some flanks
ok
ppl arguing again? XD
Sorry, I hadn't learnt to read yet, my bad
lul
giving my opinion but the usual ow players cant handle it
bye mirror
Yessss kevster is in
๐ฎ
LUL baited
WHAT
Nooo
Hog Zarya
WAIT A MINUTE
it has to be

Space Hog Mirror Zarya
Oge is so good tho
i hope fusion mirrors
no Carpe still tho hmmm
hmmmm
Here we go
birdring still looks like he isnt feeling well and i feel bad 
i doub tthey forced him to be there, if he wants to play let him play
dont think we have seen mirror hog before
Shaggy left the fucking server. i was tryna apologise to him about my misunderstanding
?
fusion shoulda put in poko
ecks dee
yeah i dont think ive ever seen mirror play hog
^
oh wow he is Hog
i think glads gonna roll here
Widow
Oooof
Fusion is just gonna play KR contenders comp
niceee
that was suoer smart of heesu
prob preparing for making the final 4 
super*
shaved off almost a full minute from the time bank
fusion smart for picking reaper
^
@balmy wolf i misread cos u had one line talking about Decay and then the next line was saying Onigod is better than' him'(obviously replying to a differewnt msg)
reaper lucio is great vs pharah
glads deff thought they would sub in carpe
decay is good
i didnt think reaper was a good pick at first but it makes sense
loll
Have the gladiators gotten a single kill?!?
i said onigod is better than doha
whats a kill
LOL
Yeah, I just misunderstood the mesgs
YO
good peel for Sado
Yes kevster
2 ULTS PRETTY MUCH FULLY NEGATED
can ivy play sombra?
just pick heesu ez
doha is bad bc everytime i see him play he's on genji and fails his blade or just cant compete with the opposing dps
MIRROR
DAMN
WOW
THAT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD
holy shit
that was so predictable
true. but still respectable hook
i dont think ive ever hit the sombra hook
should've been patient
Mirror is actually carrying
Ivy!!!
good hold
Mirror lookig like that SUper Rein clip against Architect sombra
Come on la
fusion clutch
they needed to get Astro
LOL
good hack from heesu
Yes
this is probably the most effective I've seen Pharah's ult in the playoffs so far
this is such a good match if philly or glads win
usually it's one kill and death
I love 2-2-2 GOATS.
i feel like if heesu starts hacking dva instead of hog then ivy can just farm
Depends on whether u are trying to ult farm or stop getting picked
Damn
๐ฆ ๐
nice hold
thats a rip
Philly is just so well coached
nice hold tho
nooo
lol i like how when kevster got stuck he pressed q cuz he might as well
Haha yeah

mirror spin bot
I love mirror
lul
360
bado
i mean still 2 ticks
i mean 3
smart play by alarm
FunnyAstro scares me on the selection broadcasts for some reason.
Seems like he could also be behind you in your room
lmao
idk watch them. His tone of voice is too relaxed to me
emp is bad for gladiators and kind of useless since they have hog and not winston
dude if you dont vote alarm as your mvp you are dead to me
Fleta>
everyone go vote alarm right now
Lol no
MVP CANDIDATE ALARM
I think Fleta has to get MVP and Alarm ROTY. Ofc i want Cr0ng but yk
Voters are kings of recency bias tho ig
Which is why I'm glad that the fan vote only counts for 25% of the actual overall polls.
astro's lucio spacing is bananas
jebaited
Kevster has to show tf up or Glads lose. No SOund Barrier for EMP so that will be fight win uness clutch
