when rein becomes meta we'll come back
POPPED OFF
Smurf probably has a decent rein
Just super is the best rein in the league, so no reason to try smurf rein
yo just a random question, can i still get a 100 owl tokens by enetering my email for the newsletter thing?
It was first 20k
Fair enough
I'm p sure you can't advertise here buddy
wait i cant
^
sorry i didnt know
Chipsa isn't in Korea sadge
this is an outrage


anyone know why tf hyeonu is trending on OW Liquipedia?
bruh ans is a top 5
wtf
put some respect in the ANSwer
like name 9 hitscans who are better than ans
Ans is super fucking cracked lmao
@next mesa kephrii
Keph #1
If we're talking strictly hitscan i think Lip has the better heropool
Tru
but it's crazy how lip isn't even best widow on his team
too bad diem is now like a widow specialist
Happy
Linkzr on a good day
Lip
Can't wait for saya next season
literally show his big pp and slap everyone aruond
around*
Second in what
who is your first
Lip
ok
hitscans in OWL
can't complain
uhhhh
I think happy is a good shout but i havent seen him play in some time
decay might actually be like top 5
HS has to include Tracer
ok true
He's a bit better than ANS
It’s decay
But
He’s #1 baby
Hitscan falls under Tracer, Soldier (though it’s never played so whatever), Widow, Ashe, Cree
because his widow and soldier is also fucking nutty
Alright
and he has a nutty tracer
I think
What is fleta not nutty at
so like idk
No striker?
see
mans has the best tracer in the league and a top tier ashe/cree
True
what about sbb
omg and also xzi
but man
Xzi isnt flexible enough
well xzi is like cree ashe widow
they legit just 2v6 people
for top dps?
HS
hm
lip can play any hitscan dude
I kinda don't like the idea of a top 5 hitscans
like besides tracer which fleta plays
Whys that?
I think with who there is, a tier system is better
ok true
Yeah that makes more sense
Just because the hitscan players can play different ones to varying degrees
Like ans is a nutty widow/ashe/cree
but his tracer and sombra are ok
kinda like MT
how some are gods at winston, but struggle at rein/orisa
a tier list based off the value they provide is the best imo
not false
holy shit
I forgot carpe lost to surefour in 2018 all stars widow 1v1
literally mister second place
Second in stage 2 S1 , second in OWL season 1, second in 2018 widow 1v1, second in countdown cup
Second in countdown cup, second in summer showdown
and then most likely 2nd in MVP
Also was 2nd place in some contenders season
yep
season 1 NA contenders
while on faze
lost to envyus
and MLG Vegas
nvm he wasn't on it yet
mayhem
is that bqb or saya
i dont fckin know
and is that heesu next to him
erster
who's the guy in london jersey
glister?
I thought it was glister
who's the guy next to birdring
Happy
Happy
Edison i think is mkre flexible than happy
Fits is A tier
I forgot
I think he's above happy tbh
and profit?
Heesu would be Higher if he played like this for the whole season
True
I kinda jusy added who i think are harder to rank
Profit is S
His tracer is something else
but somehow he also plays pharah and genji
Yeah
?????
Hmm
profit so good man
Profit is Probably top 3 now that i think about it
Autocorrect
Ffs
Hmmm
Ill update the tier list
Hmm
what about fleta
How good has glister been doing lately?
this tierlist is hard
I dont know ask the london fans
I think HS and FS are the hardest roles in OWL
but is played on projectile more
I thought although played projectile
Fleta is good
Idk don't watch london
he is the best player in the world
but hitscan wise
we have only seen his tracer
and some of his widow I think, like I only remember seeing him on king's row killing my hopes and dreams
We've seen glimpses of widow and ashe if im not erong
*wrong
His widow is god like
Hm

Who is that
@raw ermine thread on /r/cow about who was the most forgettable player
Hyeonu was at the top of that thread
ah
fair enough
Hyeonu was forgettable
but he is nothing
NOTHING
compared to mendokusaii
Wasn't he a Zarya one trick?
Ur thinking of spree I think
damage
oh fuck no
??
is that bad?
As soon as he left and another coach joined they improved alot
Probably more reasons he was bad
But idk them
ameng deserves better

i love atp
is it a hot take to believe dynasty doesnt deserve being in the grand finals
no lmao
yeah
this is why i hate the playoffs
these*
u can just tank and regular season wins dont matter
i loved justice's run but they did so bad in the regular season why does the regular season even matter
ikr lmao\
if they got into the grand finals over fusion i would be not only disappointed but confused
that you can go from the 12th seed to the grand final bracket from signing one player that doesnt even play his role
new meta is last minute signing
Anyways, here's me and three people going over the Grand Finals bracket - it's messy, but it does the job
https://discordapp.com/channels/94882524378968064/95324409270636544/756742383466709076
weird plug
shock 3-2 dynasty
dragons 3-2 fusion
fusion 3-1 dynasty losers
dragons 3-2 shock winners
shock 3-2 fusion losers
dragons 4-3 grand finals
if it answers the same questions you were thinking about Seoul, it's better to put it on video
Shock 3-0 Dynasty
Dragons 3-1 Fusion
i dont trust the shock after the atlanta game\
and now the washington game
to pull out it in less than 5 maps
Lower Bracket
3-0 
Upper/Lower Finals
3-1 
2-3 
Finals:
4-2 
nah shock have been preparing for this
there's also no likelihood that Shock doesn't take a loss
but I'll let them have a go
MTD
i can trust shock to make it to the grand finals against the dragons
unless they go against fusiojn
that will probably go to 5 maps
fearless, gesture, sado and smurf
since fusion is mad at shock
- smurf
- fearless
- gesture
- sado
or switch gesture and sado around
idk i dont watch seoul
seoul's VODs are hard to watch
sometimes Fits gets the better on the enemy sombra like 1 in 4 teamfights personally
support would be amusing
moth (thought they might run viol2t twilight), leejaegon, tobi, funnyastro
the meta right now is sombra dive
Fusion theoretically should do excellent
shanghai should theoretically do the best though
it doesnt matter who does good or bad
its just shanghai
Finals tank meta is amusing thought
shock gonna rollout with super hog
NA and Asia going for Pig's feet and bubble trouble
and yet looking back
most of early season was orisa sigma
Hmm
So
How's void been doing on the dva
And who's been playing the ana for shanghai
I assume its izayaki
Also
I feel like shanghai or fusion will go on a tear
for comparison, this has never been a problem
the koreans can comm in english iirc
for charge, fusion, even spark & outlaws
Super has said if he/moth/ta1yo are in they comm in english
yeah no shit
not sure what kind of answer you were looking for, tbh
if it effects their performance
affects
because yeah they can comm english
but idk how good their english is
it's more than good
Their english is really really good
The korean players have demonstrated they can 100% comm in english with no problems
Especially ANS and smurf
better than none, but if you mean can they go outside of overwatch terms is it fluent then no
Smurf kinda has an American accent sometimes
i wonder about chinese players english
Its weird
when they have chinese-korean roster like charge/spark
Probably good
chinese player english is worse off, but they adapt
Chinese korean can get messy but spark did it well

ofc shocks team is good at english
this is more what you're after
you think supers gonna spend time to learn korean????
how does a three language team work if they all have to speak english, which is a secondary language?
wasnt nero gonna learn korean
if you play to win
nero is fluent enough in Korean (broadly) the same vein bischu is for the gladiators
the only reason i ask this is in post-game interviews korean players have translators
but i guess speaking and comming is different
tru
you just have to know names and general phrases that you hear other SCREAM so i cant imagine it being that hard
yeah there isn't a hard cap
you just keep learning more of another language
but overwatch? probably extra work
they probably work a lot on that during offseason
100
they could have given him the option to resign, no?
tbh the entire team got fucked over id try to gtfo too
oh and
i feel bad for them
pine and ryujehong both joining back
PINE????
ryujehong looking for owl team
pine looking for owl or contenders team
LETS FUCKING GO
pine might join contenders though
now we just need xqc to get unbanned
he said he is looking for both
that could save so many teams
just watch Ryujehong smash the Asia All stars Talent Takedown
I'd love to see Yangxiaolong give the Korean casting team a run for their money
pine and ryujehong both join spitfire
theyd be back in the grand finals
all I care about is that Houston gets a fucking tank
Hydration gets shat on too much to be such a nice person
I still think the justice should sign fissure and ryujehong and get a t2 korean MS
imagine if justice got a new main tank too
fat carry
where do u guys think decay will go to for 2021 though
justice
I'm having a harder time figuring out who would win the Hero Gauntlet Mode next week:
Ans
1️⃣
Birdring 
Fleta 
Glister 
Haksal 
Leave 
Rascal
2️⃣
Sp9k1e 
he wants a big bag tho
tbh prob justice
rascal or fleta tbh
like it's that one mode
i used to love rascal...
where you blaze through 3-4 heroes without thinking
then i saw his sombra
also
it doesn't have to be proficiency on each hero
nero might be looking for new team
nero on glads would be sick imo
i hope nero gets a new team my guy got fucked harder than jonny sins' gf
Outlaws Nero kappa
omegalul
outlaws sign mt and nero become top tier team
Washington should sign mag
And then they could actually start to be competent next season
no roar = win
all they need is a mt as well
where would shockwave go tho
im high gold and my gameplay is comparable to roars...
i cant think of an NA team without a sniper
fuel
shockwave fuel might be good but i dont think the dps line is the problem with the fuel
its the coaching staff
maybe reign???
yeah
myunb0ng
is the only one that is great
and the only one that went to allstars
hes very VERY inconsistant
jerry
true
anyway its like 2 am in philly ima get to bed
r u a fusion fan
goodnight everyone
gn
yes
obligatory


King's row every goddamn time
Dude why are you posting messages then deleting them
Also
#overwatch-serious or #overwatch might be better for what you're talking about
lol
@frank pawn no
@shell iris how u gonna say it's comparable to roar's gameplay.. man's bad but yk, he's at least plat level. he's just not got over GOATS yet and thinks he can play like he has Lucio, Zen Brig backline
!!ask
📌 ERROR 404: Pin not found
what does everyone think about the all stars skins?
^^
yeah im honestly really excited for it LOL
I thought jerry was overrated all season but he proved me wrong in the pl ayoffs
RUI IS BACK
POGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Damn
I guess RUI wants a new coaching staff
Chen is reportedly OK with going back to casting tho
so basically i was playing 3v3
and i was losing my placements
and i got placed 2928 even though my sr is generally 2.5k
my friend
who is usually 2.9k got placed gold
LMAO
@tawny swan ain't the right channel for that kinda stuff man #overwatch-serious use comp
yo an overwatch team that needs a damage player?
go to #lf-players-na
tru
Why does no one know how to use the correct channels
Rui back?
right when Chengdu were getting good
Send those coaches to Houston and make them chinese/korean
ez
How did your pfp get more cursed
Who did chengdu release?
Chen and Ray, the co headcoaches, and garry, the assistant coach
Were they good?
Chen helped revitalize the team a tiny bit before playoffs
Ray was there the entire time pretty much
garry joined after s2 ended
so you can probably tell there prowess from that
so rui is back with hunters, pretty nice move since he had to leave due to medical issues
the replacement coach tho was a failure until chen came in
And Chen would have expected a longer playoffs journey
Snuffed out by a tighter NYXL
Their parent org RNG also parted ways with Chengdu
Big sad
i expect next year this team to be mid tier like they should've now that rui is back at coaching
and not bottom 5
Maybe i was thinking of a different coach then
wrong channel mister
Realistically we don’t know how bad Chengdu was
They could of been the 4th best in APAC for all we know
i remember the good times when london could've been argued as a top 4 team in apac :(
Does anyone have a guess of when the all star event ends?
Oct 12th for skins, Asia games are sept 26, oct 3 for na
Fuck
Lol, what's up?
My suspension ends after that date
Big oof
Best reaction image
Full five head commentary
Follow moxy at
https://www.twitch.tv/m0xyy
never forget
this year's south korean team would stomp last year usa team ngl
Fleta Ans Sado Void Alarm Leejaegon
smurf fearless choi too
tank stacked
and then you get like carpe and striker
or something
its so stacked
and you also have twilight/viol2t
like what the fuck
not fair
usa prob has like dogman pepelaugh
Haksal for mei and reaper
you have fleta
USA would just leave the blizzard arena
honestly if you jut duplicate 6 fletas he would probably win
Probably
by himself
Fleta just plays everything to the elite level
I forgot that his widow was a nut because diem and lip is on his team
but then he destroyed my hopes and dreams on king's row
honestly I think they should pick someone to cover fleta
like he literally plays everything for them
might get burnt out
just like rascal and ta1yo
fleta is meta
Tay1o is burnt out?
Ah
I mean I’d assume he can speak a little considering he’s a two way on a Korean team
But he’s also behind LIP and Diem for starting so
I've nvr seen fleta tracer tho
I think if next season ends up like this season
He needs to become an even better tracer
you can say his tracer is better than profit's and I won't even be mad
wait, I will, but not that mad
I believe s1 shanghai started with Chinese, moved over to Korean, then did English
If I recall
But the problem is Diya is hitscan not flex, and he's good enough for Shanghai to wanna keep him solely so other teams don't get him, ESPECIALLY a team like Guangzhou who need a smarter hitscan player (in my opinion) or Houston, who could seriously level up with someone like him
Can you at least not be annoying
hm
they should let dding play more
with more heroes coming out in ow2 fleta is just gonna have to learn more heroes
actually dragons don't need to do anything in particular
fr
Whens all-stars again
I think u mean the super widow
Yeah ta1yo will do well
So shock got Ta1yo, and Crusty said he had future plans for him
What if they anticipate OW2 releasing before the next season of owl
and they have ta1yo to learn all of the new dps heroes assuming there will be more
So they don't stress the other dps players on shock to learn new heroes and let them stay practicing the current ones
But then have Ta1yo as the secret weapon
yes
theres this comment I found on reddit
crusty's third eye looked into the future and saw that ta1yo was gonna be op in an unreleased hero
U mean crusty doesn't have 8 eyes?
no he just specifically used his third one smh
*80
k?
Point is crusty can see the future
Any teams out there willing to go against my team? I am coach in a high school league and I want my team to get some hard practice before their season starts. If you are interested please shoot me a message and let's make this happen
20 days til OWL grand finals!
pog
I mean Crusty can't see the future considering he thought the 2019 world cupwould be sombra tracer monkey d.va
i assuming he got tay1o since some dps could leave if they wanted, but then again the 'core' got resigned so who knows
I mean which player is not part of their core
ta1yo, ans, striker?
which they all have plenty of reason to resign
Who is considered core then?
Core would definitely include striker. Ans has been in rotation so I would consider him core. Taiyo really isn't but crusty said he's for long term. Twilight prolly isn't a core but if you can keep him, no reason to let him go
I honestly dont see shocks dropping anyone
But do you think they will pick up anyone?
It seems like shock isn't as good as before
I would say it is more everyone else getting better
Not as good anymore as in winning grand final in 4-0
But they are still dominant and are the favorite to win this year
Imo they have a top 5 in every role
It seems like shock isn't as good as before
@hidden vault because everyone is catching up
just me that thinks gladiators are worse than before?
im watching poko and astro get amazing food while i sadge in my room
819
@spiral crystal no they are worse than 2019 GOATs Gladiators
Hype this team as much as we want
But shaz/biggoose consistency has been looking worse overall
They still have success with Shaz's transcendence vs Sombra EMPs.. but that's only when the meta/HP let shaz gets to play comfort picks
Inb4 crusty makes Ta1yo a hitscan flex god
@sour magnet your right then decay can pop off on hitscan
The B u m z o
@sullen berry Guxue 
I think nyxl should get a better off tank to pair with mano
Washington should try pick up Bumper
@sour magnet one feeder for another feeder
dead meme
?
Never knew the term feeder was a meme
And that somehow its dead
Tank- Mag Jjanu
Dps- Stitch Ttuba Decay
Support- Myungbong Tobi
I think thats the dream team for a someone like Washington
Stitch and ttuba demolished in playoffs
Or at least improved alot
They probably wont sign Mag since he's gonna be worth big bucks
And they already got decay
Assuming he wants to stay and they wanna keep him
tbh washington could keep everyone but roar, pick up a MT, MS, and resign decay, and they would be really good
why would tobi leave dynasty
tobi is literally captain
if anything slime should leave dynasty and join his runaway buddies
and like I don't think shock needs anyone really
Hi
Allo
Fissure would be much much more valuable to Justice if they could get him
But does he still wanna play professionally?
Why is ria inactive?
I think nyxl should get a better off tank to pair with mano
Meko was the best I dunno what happened
justice powerhouse next year no cap
I think he wants but Vancouver imploded
Fissure could do well in justice
I forsee
idk if he'll want to play
Ria has a wrist injury
but it has been a while
well
not THAT long
since june 19
QoQ is fine

Yes, but this confirms
Bumper would be fairly cheap has synergy already and is an undisputed not bottom 5 main tank like roar
That Blizzard forces 50% win rate
While most of the people have been saying that it's not true
That is how the system should work
You are supposed to be playing against people at your level
Theoretically that means you win and lose at the same rate
confirms what?
A matchmaking system and method is provided that facilitates optimization of player matches for multiplayer video games. The system may provide a generalized framework for matchmaking using historical player data and analytics. The framework may facilitate automatic determinations of an optimal mix of players and styles to produce the most satisfying user experiences. The system may dynamically update analytical processes based on statistical or otherwise observed data related to gameplay at any given time. In this manner, the system may continually tune the matchmaking process based on observations of player behavior, gameplay quality, and/or other information.
Took a quick scan. I don't see anything about 50/50 or force win rate (could have missed it)
It puts you in comp matches where you are playing with people around your MMR and SR. Are you as good as a Masters? Too bad, you'll stay in plat until there's no more masters smurfs
Are you in diamond but on level with golds? That'll be the skill of your surroundings 90% of the time
But it's still a good thing because it forces smurfs into difficult games and it insures the competitive experience is still good enough for everyone involved, the tradeoff is that SR doesn't matter +/- around 500 of where you are (until the topmost ranks of like 4600, where it gets MUCH narrower)
No fearless :/
Just shows how stacked korean tanks are
Like, is there any main tank that realistically stands up to the koreans
Other than super on rein
who's their coach
cloudy flank rein
Probs crusty
cloudy flank rein
@earnest leaf ah yes
How could I forget the big dick himself
and xqc winston, the true goat /s
they realy put kariv instead of like twilight and viol2t
decay instead of ans
yeah why not
they could of opted out
or they could potentially be feeling burnt out.
but probably just wanna focus on finals and i'm pretty sure viol2t and ans are home with their families for quarantine.
I was really confused
it's such a bruh moment
I would put fearless instead of mano too
smurf covers fearless' only weakness, orisa
yaki is questionable but whatever
not gonna play anyway
did a vod review on ameng
the issue people had was he was using his ladder and ranked perspective to judge an owl match which is wildly different
Bumper to justice
Best move they can do
Saves money because I guarantee Bumper isn’t in high demand like mag, is a solid main tank and has synergy with 2 of the current members
@karmic grotto is the opposite, it's not trying to force 50% win rate
Saves money because I guarantee Bumper isn’t in high demand like mag, is a solid main tank and has synergy with 2 of the current members
@sour magnet true but can the support line really support someone like bumper?
I think the support line also needs an upgrade, however saving on bumper over a player like mag can save the money needed to invest in a support
True
But
Who'd you pick up?
Myungbong since he wants out of boston probably
And maybe like
Idk
I’d prefer to get rid of Ark Over aimgod
While ark is lovely, he’s rather lacklustre right now, I doubt he brings much to shot calling due to his personality and he plays more defensive which wouldn’t mesh with the team
Ye
But Roar is there biggest problem rn and Bumper is a good fit for synergy and budget wise
And they know he’s consistent so low risk
And in another double off tank meta bumper was the runaway off tank
I don’t think you need to redo the support line for Bunper, people are forgetting Bumper is an extremely flexible player
He’s transitioned from support to off tank to main
He will play the way his team needs him to and what they need
Bumzo
Bumper has the talent synergy and as I’ve said isn’t gonna cost as much as the other main tank prospects
plus you get all the pr
Yep because everyone loves bumper
Same way Chengdu isn’t Chengdu without ameng
I don’t think bumper is the best tank by any means but he can hold his own vs the top tiers and is undoubtly a roar upgrade
@true hound wasn't one of the reasons why he was benched and released was because he was being inflexible though
Damn
I mean before all that meltdown
Get my man seominsoo back
yes please
Hope so
Fuck it, Pick up former runaway.
If you could compare jehong to someone in OWL currently
Who do you think is the closest to him in terms of skill?
@next mesa
no idea
jjonak?
except his zen is worse and his ana is better
in my opinion
no idea
Jjonak and jehong are on the same level in your opinion?
Hm
Ive heard that jjonak didnt do the best at the later stage of the season
(Playoffs and a bit before Playoffs)
like people say he's washed up but honestly it's just competition that came along
I don't think jjonak or ryu are washed
they just have more competition, and ryu is a bit older, so he is likely slower
watching ryu, though, it is hard for me to tell
he is still godly
Ryujehong is like izayaki, except older
Or reversed
-.-
19-20 February
At least we got a date

Hmmm
Would Jehong to justice make sense tho
Probably not
The thing is
His age
Other than that he should get many offere
*offers
yes, izayaki
People are too hard on Yeatle. Reminder that his experience in T2 and T3 is basically equal as ANS (one trick Widow
) and LIP who was scouted from T2/T3 by Dragons
Nevertheless, if he thinks he's that good, he should prove it
OWL do tryouts
He should join those and prove himself there
Undead is a bad
Bro imagine if bumper just walks into the tryouts
Lol
Just outclasses everyone else
Then declines the offer to join the team
He joined the tryouts and rolled everyone just because he could
That would be the chaddest move in OW history
idk he needs some good supports
Ye
I think
If they can fill the gaps in aimgods pool and have someone that is a decent lucio
you see, the thing with Bumper, he needs a lot of the team being in sync with him
and put resources on him
rn Justice isnt that kind of team
Justice they're like more individual skills than be like a team
I just trust in Jjanu to give his experience and knowledge
Also
Justice's DPS line consist of stitch ttuba and decay the genetic freaks
Stitch is so sick
Ttuba has been good on these off roles
Decay just pulls out his fat cock when they need to play a good team
The scenes we'll witness next year will be something else
I think stitch is solid enough for double hitscan
Or double sniper
He aint no decay or ANS
But he isnt too bad
Playoffs stitch
Has been a freak
Rest of the season
Not so good
If he continues this play and improves a bit he'll do well next year
Stitch benefits from not having to be the carry
