He should not
Boston is already getting one of the best coaches from KR. Myunbong performed great on All Stars, you have to build around him and the coach
Which is why they're parting ways with halo and mik
Freeing up money to get better players
that's assuming they'll spend the money
That's assuming boston will get the right pieces
I don't see Chex staying
I believe so
and maybe jerry
I wonder who will be head here
Will Huk give the head coach the authority to say with players he want
Or will they go London route
To get a squad of average cost with potential
London <> Valiant like?
but bro fusions
A dps can only do so much
the square headass
I literally cannot stand the way his head is shaped, I am lowkey an asshole though
haha
yeah, that's his head
he can't do much about it
some people have a long face
The whole team can't do shit because shit coaching fucked them
I think all Boston players have potential to be good but they just need better coaching
Chengdu was doing pretty well when they got new coaching
do you guys think florida would be better if they hadn't switched to all korean?
Crusty was let go to Shock after 3rd stage
Boston could realistically be in the grand finals of Season 1
I like Chengdu!
They had a perfect stage
Florida also got much better players
Imagine having a perfect stage, and then letting go Crusty for money
regardless whether they're korean or not
kuki MVP though
Simping is temporary, winning is eternal
Amazing

Why did the mods call him Mickeyy?
Damn bro the gap between @SFShock and other NA teams is actually not even close. The thing is Philly isn't even bad they are actually insane and dominated NA but, goddamn.
536
not at all
I feel like they match very evenly on every front
But moth and viol2t could potentially just pound
And I wonder how fleta and diem(or lip) will deal with a player like viol2t who is a 3rd dps
and izayaki was doing lots on kings row defense
Fleta never loses
going on flanks getting picks
Sure but if what was played today will be played tommorrow
sniping
Fleta better prepare for striker
It will be interesting to see them face off
It's always funny to watch shock go down 2 in a fight and still win
and it seems shd does the same
But striker is god
except in seoul but let's not talk about that
Fleta has had the wonder of a good team to enable him
So he can slap his dick around on teams
It seems like
profit wasn't lacking behind striker at all
I mean yes he's profit mister 25 inch long dong schlong
It's always funny to watch shock go down 2 in a fight and still win
Ikr
Puts pressure on him so he can't perma dive ans or viol2t/moth
And farms pulse super fast to kill a squishy next fight
anybody got the skins and spray yet? ive def watched over 2 hours
im pretty sure you can only get them in the actual finals
Gosh I want Seoul to win so badly
yea i also got less tokens than i should have

Apparently the skins and spray are only for the championship match. That's good to know, so I won't be expecting to get them yet. https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/j7fjos/grand_finals_spray_and_skin/g84aqwz?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

The Houston Outlaws would like to thank all of our fans and partners for Anteing Up this past season. Keep an eye out for us though.

saw that lmao
Paintbrush 
by a company from Busan
The map five response lmao
It is true
We lose those
We need a main tank, and another dps as consistent as Dante’s
Danteh*
And a few more support options would be nice
yeah this is ridiculous
I can't make any one of these
must be why they're offering triple points
😄
I mean, I just fixed my fucked up schedule, where if I haven't, I'd be able to catch even the 9AM one BEFORE going to bed

😢
I'll probably end up staying up till 4am to watch the games
Those times are called we are in Korea
I will not be waking up at 5am
all I ever do is just leave the stream running in a tab at 144p and collect the points the next day
but sadly the stream doesn't actually start when you open the tab while it's offline
so I can't even do that with these asinine times
Freaking 11 am game goddamn
like 90% of the people who watch owl will either be at school or at work
nah
it's 1 pm on a regular week day
still garbage times
wow you have bad times for like 3 days
@faint cedar the finals are in korea theyre korea times
Yeah and you have good times but still have the audacity to complain
wdym good times when everyone will be either working or at school
theyre pretty good times for eu
4 pm to like 7 pm start would be good times
yeah this is impossible for NA
i'll just watch shanghai win the grand finals via the vods
they should really have re-runs count towards owl tokens
but u wont get the skins
I don’t even think the times are that bad for anyone when they play in Korea
Except west coast
yeah i legit just can't get the skins because when they're live i'm always at work
no theyre very bad for na
4 am is
what
is not fine
the fuck lol
I don't even know whether to call that night or morning
Okay you clearly have a normal sleep schedule
who wakes up at 4am
Me :)
oh, yeah, I guess I'm the ass hole with a normal sleep schedule eh 😛
But realistically I just go to sleep kinda early and wake up like 4am is normal
when do u go to sleep to wake up at 4am
Like 10 lol
not so bad
Aren’t you in school? 6 hours is fine
I'm not
old people get plenty of sleep for 6 hours
and even when I was I got 10-12 hours
younger people need more like 9-10
I’m in school rn so I just sleep on 6 most nights
6 hours
Okay I know 6 hours isn’t healthy but I’m not going to get good sleep because of school not because I choose to stay awake that long
I'm pretty sure school isn't to blame
it's a constant
you have to manage your time around it
Ok I’m not going to have this argument Bc it’s not going to budge
it's easy to place the blame on others to not feel so bad about yourself 😛
MUH OWL TOKENS, OWL WHY
thinking I'm whining when I'm typing in all caps
The other part that’s not in caps
You’re clearly not happy that they are in Korea
you're clearly not cappy
Because now you have to wake up early for tokens
lmfao I'm not waking up for shit actually
just watch the replays
do replays give tokens?
No

Are you just gonna be here and be mad
I'm neither mad nor annoyed
just making discussion and you're getting upset
grow thicker skin eh
don't get your mellows all harshed up
I have no preference over whether or not you're annoyed at me actually
But you do? Because you still talk to me and tell@me what I should be doing
I'm giving you life advice
I think your advice isn’t worthwhile
here's another: let's move to #general-discussion so we're not off-topic
Can y'all argue in dms
see, he gets it
Like it's entertaining and all but the thing you're arguing over is stupid
I wouldn't even call this an argument, I'd just call it stupid lmao
there's no clear side
those things aren't mutually exclusive
It’s entertaining me Bc I have something to do rn
Shanghai gonna win tomorrow
Then again Philly also made questionable choices
So maybe Philly just sandbagging
never happens in lore
the people there get the mods to kill it
I sort of thought it would be like that here, but conversations run the gamut
Bc lore discussion is ran by Jewvia
lore arguments can get heated
The main moderation here is Sprite
Sprite is chill
Who is a lot more lax than Jewvia
ye
i prefer pepsi tbh
are all the games going to be @ 5AM?
The first game tomorrow is 5am EST yeah
Shock Shanghai
Shock shd
called it
3-2 3-0
i fucking called the 3-2 and yall mfs did not believe me
talking about 3-1 bs
nah it'll be close
I’m concerned for Philly now
philly shock will be interesting
Philly still could look good against Seoul
Philly need to shut down Gesture and Profit
shanghai is superior to seoul, so it's not hopeless for philly
exactly
profit got so much value last night
I have a suspicion Shanghai will slap shock tomorrow
3-2 is philly can wrangle in profit and gesture, 3-0 if they cant
same
i hope so
shd is amazing
I so hope profit and gesture carry on performing
I hope profit fails and turns into carpe so that I can stop hearing people harp on him all the damn time
:(
we need to move on to the new generation already
Idk man, it's nice to have vets/familiar faces
well sure, but acting like the old ones aren't worse than the new is pretty annoying to me
the nostalgia blinds people
I mean I am not saying the old ones can't be good
in my opinion profit probably still is good enough to be talked about
but it seems to me people assume they will never be replaced and keep them on pedestals to the exclusion of new talent
my desire for profit to fail is a bit of an exaggeration but an extension of that frustration
the biggest thing all vets, regardless of play, have, it the ability to not panic because of the nerves of a big stage
mental game will be inherently better than a rookie who's never played on a stage this big, or for this much
now some rookies are better than vets, but the mental game can't be ignored

When you try to cast some heartstone, but you get fired/suspended and money taken
the Jayne leaks were true
not surprising
Is it possible to claim the tracer skin already or can you only get it on Saturday?
i want shock to win
Alright, gonna check if I got owl token drops for last night. Predictions?
Looks like I got 25 😦
I checked bracket there are 3 matches being played today
Loser finals being the last one
Yes
Its confusing for us because it goes from 8pm to midnight so the third game starts Saturday 12:00am 😄
So looks like SHD v PHI was a bit of a scccccchlapping?
Yes
Only control was close
Yet Philly made some poor map choices
They picked KR and Volskaya
the Jayne leaks were true
@raw ermine What Jayne leaks?
Gladiators over the last few days seem to have dumped a pretty large chunk of their roster.
r/compoverwatch
their was post that said Jayne might have accidentally leaked curry leaving
So it looks like they're giving each pair of casters one match for the finals - what do you reckon we'll see? I'm predicting they'll put Sideshow and Bren on the next lower bracket match, Uber and MrX on the upper bracket final, and probably Wolf/Achilios on the final or, if not that, them on the lower-bracket final with Uber/MrX on the final.
^
So what time is the day 2 of OWL playoffs EST?
The schedule on the website converts it to your local time - assuming you're in EST.
Wouldn't you be in EDT though?
I'd take 5pm over the midnight match we get
The thing I found hilarious is when OWL put the match times on the website in PST and CST, even though the matches are being played in KST
It’s soooo weird
There's just sooooo many idiotic amateur mistakes being made by their crew :/


the old ones are probably worse than the new talent, but I don't think they get worse themselves
I wonder why that is thz case tho
Why do older players in the scene always become worse than new talent
It has to be related to a degradition in skill
slower reaction times
also the new people get to build off the experience of the older players
Just discovered that Gladiators right now only have 6 players signed - 3 dps and 3 tanks.
Space, OGE and LhCloudy on tank, and birring, mirror and kevster on dps.
222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222
whoops sorry
my cat was on my keyboard
Interesting
I bet cloudy is gone by next week
I want to see them get a new coach.
It is probably recency bias since i think he did great first 2 seasons. but I just didnt agree with his feeding is good take at all. He is also a GM so I would assume he is busy. Maybe he can get another head coach to help
I guess gettijg new 2 support duo is a good start though
he tried something different, it didnt work out that well
but they got results either way
in hindsight this was the weakest glads roster out the 3 seasons
mirror wasnt that great of a dps since kev got picked up for flex dps
jaru too
Ngl forgot nero was American, is he the only English 1st language apac player?
Well I mean the only non Asian I guess would be the right term
yeah
Wild
bruh I am joking
Okay nice joke bruh
Let's move on
Who do you guys think glads would pick up?
Will they move full korean?
Regional
Seems a little redundant to have Birdring and Glister doesn’t it?
Although I support it
Imagine if Glads got a support line out of KR
it was rumoured they would promote their academy, london
That would be Pog
British hurricane has been slapping
Imagine if Glads picked up the O2 support line
Well he’s on o2 rn so I’m assuming very well
Then again I’m looking now and looks like Talon and EM are doing better
As of rn it looks like Korean Contenders goes EM, Talon, WGS, RunAway, O2 then BM
yeah
I expect MCD will have some kind of war for him
Yeah Glads could use a kr support line
They have been using the finnish duo for the longest time
I assume they released them as they are obsolete?
nah bro theres a top tier support line in NA rn
4 that are easily tier 1 supports duos
Ojee 
shu?
Holy fuck Ojee isn’t even gonna turn 18 before next season ends
Someone just let him in please
Also if most of drifters don’t get picked up either
Is s9mm new to the pro scene?
idk
Did they have a different tag before?
I swear they popped out of nowhere
Even on ladder
Just finished watching SHD vs PHI. That was a mess.
Poko: I think apac is messy
I'm worried it's looking entirely possible we could see a SEO d SHD final.
either that or vs shock
eh I doubt seoul will beat shock again if shock loses
I'm not 100% if they will even beat philly
come on dude
they had to make the dragons v shock at 5 AM EST
and 2AM WST
and seoul at 7?
come on they could have at least made philly v seoul first and then dragons v shock 2nd
sigh time to wake up at 4:58 i guess
and then go back to sleep to afk farm
I'm waking up at 4am to watch it lol
shd better not just fucking stomp shock
or shock better not stomp shd
I want a fucking match not a roll
bruh im making a new ICEBERG team Anyone wanna join? You have to be an iceberg to join
Bruh I can't watch the fuckin grand finals
Literally got math tutoring like the exact 2 hours that they're playing the matches
Wait no
9:45
I can watch 45 min
They start late
So I can watch like one map
Ok cool
Covid-19 taught the Overwatch League's leaders that they need to plan for all contingencies. That's how they're approaching 2021 as well.
Plan for anything is a good line
@quartz cairn yep
If you wake up at 7 am you’ll probably catch 2nd game
or maybe the 1st 👀
e.g. Plan for COVID 2021, no matter what they say about a vaccine being released after they do all their testing and all that
@toxic yacht lul grand finals be up at 6 am I swear to god
@true hound i have school at 7:30 usually wake up at 7 to get ready
So i’ll probs miss it all

F
I have remote so I wake up at 7 but only starts at 8
When it was in person though I have to wake up at 6 with school opening doors at 7:15
Bren says he's casting at 6am, so which match would that be?
FISH UPDATE: I threw everything that was contaminated out or set it in on fire
During the day when the sun came out the smell got worse again and the apartment became unlivable
The corruption has stopped for now, but I don't know how long we can live like this
SOS
735
Dont open a can of fermented fish, guys
is jjonak washed up or smth?
Close
he did win the ana ffa
How many matches today?
Ty
lets see if philly will pick it up
is jjonak washed up or smth?
@little tusk Not unreasonable to conclude. There's a lot of players who were great in Season 1 but they just haven't improved at the same rate the rest of the league has, so others have overtaken them. Doesn't mean they're not 'good' anymore, just means they no longer stand out. The same happens in virtually every sport - old 'greats' of history would barely hold up against modern pros.
@upper niche I wonder why that is the case tho
is it because we learn better methods to improve
or are we just genetically getting better
This applies to any sport: A level develops at which you need to be at to be competitive. People evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the best, and find ways to be better. You know that to be competitive, you need to become better than this existing metric or standard.
I can not think of a single example of a sportsperson that by the end of their career there aren't up and coming competitors who are beginning to eclipse them in skill.
Jonathan Wendell? Serena Williams? Shaquille O'Neill? Michael Schumacher? (one of these thigns is not like the other)
I don't necessarily know that it might be 'genetically' better, btw - but diets, understanding of physiology (and psychology) and training, improvements in equipment, alterations in rules to better either competition or entertainment - all of these change over time.
oh yeah, and sports stars are no long pack-a-day smokers.
avast leaked the scrip
They had to mute
he said “I pretend I do not see it😌”
LMAO
Let’s goooooo
Soe always wears queen shit we love to see it
Custa managed to go the entire time without spilling fish juice on himself
So proud
Poor custa, living with fermented fish juice smell
I am glad soe's still with owl. She brings good vibes
Im watching through their website will i get credits
yup
and im pretty sure 1 hour out of every day is 3x token drops
or it might be all the hours
cuz its on their website but the live is from youtube
$pokemon
yeah but if your web link says overwatchleague then you're good
imagine if they sub in chipsa lul
ok thx just two more questions 🙂 can i tab off and have it open in the background? and how do you check how much credits you have
yes, and you have to open overwatch and go to the overwatch league tab
Okay, so it's Wolf/Achilios for this one, must be Uber/MrX for game 2, and SideshowBren for match 3. Wonder who got the finals - but I bet Wolf/Achillios
ok thanks ima leave it open in the background then so i can get credits :p
Yeah that's the annoying thing about wanting to use Chromecast, no drops.
yes
but I dont know if you can cast from it and still get drops
finally shock vs shd
then no problem
huh?
inb4 shd stomps shock
Will all the top 4 teams play each other?
@woven badge No, that's not possible.
Like will Seoul play philly later today?
i think so
Seoul or Philly will be eliminated after this match, removing their ability to play the winner of the other of those first two matches.
Seoul and Philly is first up
wait what
sorry my bad
no they arent
is next up.
So that the loser of this gets a break before the third match of the night.
i wouldnt say that
Sfs and philly have already played against each other, and shd and Seoul played each other. So will we see shd play both shock and philly? And Seoul play shock and philly?
I think so, right?
Idk it’s 4AM
zia im gonna be honest i have no clue what you are saying
Lip and fearless damn
in playoffs? or in GF
Ugh all that crap on the right of the site.
Can't you go full-screen? Or does it not count?
@unkempt gale will Seoul play Philly and shock, and will dragons play philly and shock
Yes zoom out
just fullscreen
@unkempt gale Fullscreen you say?
i dont think so
Tiny ow irl
wut
dragons 10-0 on oasis lmao
bro your screen is so wide
zoom out??
yes
LETS GOOOO
trust me
Let's go
WTF are you talking about, zoom out?
wait u dont have to accept drops right
oh, it doesnt help, the right pane is fixed width.
cuz some guy just said he could only get drops on mobile
A lot of things about the OWL website are stupid.
Ehhaaaa how'd moth get out
This would certainly not be the first one.
Yea it’s glitchy
With what Blizzard pay devs I'm not surprised, pay peanuts, get monkeys.
Wait they're running sombra reaper?
ok try
zooming to 175
for me that makes it take up most of my screen
cause the right gets put under the screen
This is looking kinda dominant ngl
Zoom in?
yes
Oh I see what you mean. Yeah I guess.
zoom until the right goes under the screen
But like would it kill them to give us the stats pane that used to be on the right of the site?
if its bothering you
you can
you have to click that tiny little thing on the right side of the screen
like the youtube embed

Good emp
weirdchamp
Striker missed the bomb on fearless
player cams are broken, sigh.
Good pulse
That was juicy
gonna keep track, started at 2:11, have 163 tokens. I expect to end this whole session with 163 tokens and a phone hotter than a hot pocket
is the browser viewer broken for anyone else? it's just a lo-fi stream lmao
Shocks gone full dps they got tbis
lol Striker spamming Need Healing as tracer.
Annoying tracer healing spam is the new Genji
i'd be surprised if it was working properly
So
The final tomorrow is first to 4 right?
Seems so far it will be close
god
Jesús that was woah
Gr
This is gonna be so fucking close
leejaegon???
he fuckin sent it
This comp isn't gnna work
ljg needs to um
leejaegon?
not die first
They need to compete with the dps
Hmm
I think shock take this map
And then the match
Goes back and forth
Until we see a winner
Lip plays a sick mccree
Either way the grand finals is gonna be shanghai seoul
nah
*shock
Ok
Not seoul
I was gonna say 🧐
Dragons: why do I hear boss music?
Lmao
shock ain't no philly
hol up
Btw I have no idea how shock are living with such low healing output
Ik
by killing
Nani
they have a load of damage
So they are just not taking ans on and focusing the rest of the team
LOL
ljg
AGAIN
Frogger stole the keyboard
He lost them the map
honestly lmao
Wow
Welp
lee???
shock just rolled the dragons
Lol wth
THE EDIT @hot heart
Ljg must be kicking himself

ljg is feeding striker these bombs
ljg inting
Was yesterdays roster the real one and this the troll one
I'm calling it. Dragons will reverse sweep shock

Im gonna go to bed now
Hopefully
hopefully..?
Shanghai strong
^

shock would need to win the next map, then put super on like dva
They're gonna pull out fearless hog at some point
leejagone throwing
Goldenboy? Haven’t seen him in ages
Bad idea
Who was the other desk guy who moved on who thought he was gonna have a better gig working freelance in New York?
Puckett
isnt that dangerous?
Such a bad idea
How'd that work out for him this year heh
Anyone wanna come to the owl viewing party
they should let people that buy react do reacts instead of everyone
Does the app work better for getting tokens?
Is it more reliable or should i just stick with the website
its the same, but people think the app is more reliable
Yes
i stick to the website
I’ve had no issues for the site
and im always fine
Or the app
Thanks guys
The dragon's are throwing
I've barely had any token drops at all this season. I got the Zarya skin, what was before that? I only had enough for the Dva skin, put it that way.
Next map is escort? Or hybrid?
@upper niche same
And thats it?
Yes
Aight then
I don't think watching all matches between now and the final will give me enough tokens to get the Rein skin, so I might have to buy 100 tokens. Which I don't completely hate doing, so it's not so bad...
I was at 39 last night, 64 this morning... so I dont think I got any tokens for the PHI v SHD game which I left running at 160p when I went to bed heh
I do t even care about the new skins i just want the tokens to get more reign skins
You spelt Rein wrong :P~
No atlanta reign
No Reinhardt ;p
Rein main in chat?
me
😒
pog
Danm, looks like both Wolf and Achillios spent a decent amount of time in hair and makeup before this show.
If lfg doesn't stop inting
this is esports discussion tho why are we talking about this
Shanghai are gonna lose
The Boss of the gym is back
PHILLY ALREADY DOING WORSE THAN SHOCK
I hate the word throwing when talking abt pros but......ljg man what was that
And fusion thought they can take on shock
Was it Poko playing "Poko presents The adventures of Roadhog in backline land" yesterday?
Les go diem in
Yes lmaoooo
what is leejagone doing
Hmm
No wonder they lost badly if they have players doing shit like that.
Im just watching logged in for the spray
LUL
He was too aggressive on lucio second round oasis
And tracer skins
SUPER IS IN
I've watched the entire stream yest and haven't gotten the skin
I thought the skin was only during the final finals
Best stat of the year: Payload distance pushed - Dorado (LDN v WAS) and Route 66 (??)
Ahhh
how do you do the hear me cheer thing
Makes sense
it was incredible
The pose ljg is doing in his player photo lmao
4.31 meters.
Zen hooked the hog lmao
stand1 taking ljg's spot in dying first
Is this scripted?
shanghai? u ok?
please win this game shanghai


That Stand1 'flank' was like a gold team strat
If SHD play like this, yeah.
huh
so if you grav the floor - you won't get picked up on the roof
Diem needs to have a monster performance
His and Stand1
Because rn
This is looking like a shock win
this corner sucks ngl
Like not because of design, it’s designed really well, it can just be tricky
what is this game
Fleta needs to step it up
nvm ig dont listen to me im a stinky nyxl fan
All of super's grinding in korean ranked as hog is paying off
Viol2t popping ngl
shock did this yesterday
Remember they're on the "hog is actually good" patch.
Their Hollywood is insane
actual hog diff
Wtf are the dragons doing
niceeeeee
Oh dear
niceeeuuu
that was such a winnable fight
Wtf
Hmm
Are they playing with their monitors off
The dragons are being bullied lol
Bro i dont even think its actually shanghai
Bots
Legit bots
I think they'll lose this, win the losers bracket and they'll go at it again
Is shd being bad
Shock looks like they are on another level
Dragons positioning the entire match was kinda pepega
Reporting for gameplay sabotage
Stand1 playing too much ranked hog not enough league time
report shd for sandbagging
Lmao
Oh man
hi
Hey
hi
Reporting leejaegon for throwing
Moth is just always there with the rez
oof, s1 committed ult and then died.
tf is stand1 doing
He was 76 hp when he ulted against a Zen
He ults at 84hp
W h y
what was that
Oh was it 76? My bad
Either way
W h y
man
Shock play better together
striker looks a lot better on hanzo when profit isn't being a giga chad
There is such a different between the NA games and Asia games
Striker is a better dps imo but it's literally a tank diff right now I think
No dead lift from Fleta
Deffo tank diff
dude
Is Fearless' pool not include Roadhog?
Jesus wtf
why is ljg actually first dead so often
