myunbong should get the fuck out

karmic grotto
#

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

limber pine
#

that's assuming they'll spend the money

karmic grotto
#

Yeah

#

I assume that

#

More players can or will be released

next mesa
#

That's assuming boston will get the right pieces

karmic grotto
#

I don't see Chex staying

vagrant jacinth
#

They need a full roster change honestly

#

Besides myunbong

karmic grotto
#

I believe so

next mesa
#

and maybe jerry

karmic grotto
#

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?

tawdry hamlet
#

jerry is god

#

he looks like such a unit irl tho

karmic grotto
#

I want to see Jerry do more

#

But Bostons tank line is shitty

tawdry hamlet
#

but bro fusions

karmic grotto
#

A dps can only do so much

tawdry hamlet
#

the square headass

karmic grotto
#

Fusions is overrated

#

Only good during goats meta in UK

tawdry hamlet
#

I literally cannot stand the way his head is shaped, I am lowkey an asshole though

karmic grotto
#

haha

#

yeah, that's his head

#

he can't do much about it

#

some people have a long face

barren quest
#

The whole team can't do shit because shit coaching fucked them

tawdry hamlet
#

that is true

#

idk I like Boston no matter how bad they are lolll

karmic grotto
#

Boston should go to their former glory

#

Season 1 stage 3

#

Peak Boston

barren quest
#

I think all Boston players have potential to be good but they just need better coaching

tawdry hamlet
#

I Like how peak boston was a little above mid tier lmaoo

#

at least I think

barren quest
#

Chengdu was doing pretty well when they got new coaching

tawdry hamlet
#

do you guys think florida would be better if they hadn't switched to all korean?

karmic grotto
#

Crusty was let go to Shock after 3rd stage

#

Boston could realistically be in the grand finals of Season 1

tawdry hamlet
#

I like Chengdu!

karmic grotto
#

They had a perfect stage

limber pine
#

Florida also got much better players

karmic grotto
#

Imagine having a perfect stage, and then letting go Crusty for money

limber pine
#

regardless whether they're korean or not

karmic grotto
#

When florida was a meme team

#

RIP Sayaplayer

limber pine
#

kuki MVP though

vagrant jacinth
#

I like fusions simply because uk

#

I'd maybe keep Jerry too

#

But that's about it

karmic grotto
#

Simping is temporary, winning is eternal

vagrant jacinth
#

Amazing

next mesa
#

what the fuck no

#

I wanted to watch hot asian girl dance chika dance

true hound
#

...

next mesa
#

is that fran

#

hey

#

is that fran

forest raven
#

What's wrong with you

next mesa
#

what do I need to do to watch the full thing

#

do I need to go on tiktok

raw ermine
#

Why did the mods call him Mickeyy?

next mesa
earnest leaf
#

Hm

#

Is it a hot take that shd vs shock will be decided by the supports

raw ermine
#

not at all

earnest leaf
#

I feel like they match very evenly on every front

raw ermine
#

I feel Izayaki has been hardly talked about this year

#

he is good

earnest leaf
#

But moth and viol2t could potentially just pound

raw ermine
#

but its not like viol2t and alarm

#

and JJonak

#

they are constantly discussed

earnest leaf
#

And I wonder how fleta and diem(or lip) will deal with a player like viol2t who is a 3rd dps

raw ermine
#

tbf

#

I am watching SHD vs PHF

next mesa
#

it doesn't matter

#

fleta is meta

raw ermine
#

and izayaki was doing lots on kings row defense

next mesa
#

Fleta never loses

raw ermine
#

going on flanks getting picks

next mesa
#

Fleta is god

#

Fleta is life

earnest leaf
#

Sure but if what was played today will be played tommorrow

raw ermine
#

sniping

earnest leaf
#

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

next mesa
#

Fleta doesn't need to prepare shit

#

FLETA IS FLETA

#

FLETA

#

NEVER LOSES

earnest leaf
#

But striker is god

next mesa
#

except in seoul but let's not talk about that

earnest leaf
#

Fleta has had the wonder of a good team to enable him

#

So he can slap his dick around on teams

next mesa
#

It seems like

#

profit wasn't lacking behind striker at all

#

I mean yes he's profit mister 25 inch long dong schlong

vagrant jacinth
#

It's always funny to watch shock go down 2 in a fight and still win
Ikr

next mesa
#

striker was like

#

sucking on marve1's ball

#

whenever they're on control

earnest leaf
#

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

rare magnet
#

anybody got the skins and spray yet? ive def watched over 2 hours

tawny walrus
#

im pretty sure you can only get them in the actual finals

#

Gosh I want Seoul to win so badly

tawny walrus
#

yea i also got less tokens than i should have

balmy wolf
#

WHERE CAN WE SEE ALL THE REWARDS FOR WATCHING ?

#

didn't mean to caps

tawny walrus
tropic herald
#

Okay I actually want that spray wtf

#

That’s dope

tawny walrus
#

I want a player icon like this so badly

rare magnet
karmic grotto

karmic grotto
#

I go for the wild card

#

Fissure

raw ermine
#

omg

#

imagine

true hound
#

Fissure

#

would be insane

raw ermine
#

saw that lmao

karmic grotto
#

However

#

What would Fissure even do in this team?

next mesa
#

uh

#

the presence of an actual mt

vagrant jacinth
#

Paintbrush ZaryaLUL

karmic grotto
#

no

#

NO

#

dont give houston nightmare

#

or maybe houston gonna be bought

raw ermine
#

by a company from Busan

digital cloud
#

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

raw ermine
#

ditch boink

#

get another flex support

faint cedar
#

jesus christ what are these times?

#

丨几卄ㄩ爪卂几 丂匚卄乇ᗪㄩㄥ乇丂

viral veldt
#

People from the uk actually getting good times

#

Too bad half of us are at school😢

faint cedar
#

yeah this is ridiculous

#

I can't make any one of these

#

must be why they're offering triple points

viral veldt
#

Unlucky

#

Just fuck up your sleep schedule PharahCool

true hound
#

😄

faint cedar
#

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

viral veldt
#

😢

earnest leaf
#

I'll probably end up staying up till 4am to watch the games

tropic herald
#

Those times are called we are in Korea

next mesa
#

finals is 9am for me

#

lets goooo

#

5am though

#

hell no

tropic herald
#

I will not be waking up at 5am

earnest leaf
#

Tomorrow is the most important day of the year

#

imo determines the winner of it all

tropic herald
#

Is Shanghai v Shock first or second

#

Too lazy to check schedule

faint cedar
#

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

little tusk
#

Freaking 11 am game goddamn

plush grail
#

these times are so fucked

#

1 pm for most of europe

tropic herald
#

You guys finally got good EU times

#

And now you complain

plush grail
#

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

tropic herald
#

Okay. And?

#

I have to wake up at 4am

plush grail
#

wow you have bad times for like 3 days

rare magnet
#

@faint cedar the finals are in korea theyre korea times

tropic herald
#

Yeah and you have good times but still have the audacity to complain

plush grail
#

wdym good times when everyone will be either working or at school

faint cedar
#

you call those good times?

#

lmfao

#

oh nvm he's talking about eu

rare magnet
#

theyre pretty good times for eu

plush grail
#

4 pm to like 7 pm start would be good times

earnest leaf
#

unlucky

#

Nothing will change about the times

#

just gotta deal with it

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

faint cedar
#

yeah this is impossible for NA

plush grail
#

i'll just watch shanghai win the grand finals via the vods

faint cedar
#

they should really have re-runs count towards owl tokens

rare magnet
#

but u wont get the skins

tropic herald
#

I don’t even think the times are that bad for anyone when they play in Korea

#

Except west coast

plush grail
#

yeah i legit just can't get the skins because when they're live i'm always at work

rare magnet
#

no theyre very bad for na

tropic herald
#

East Coast Na is fine

#

Just 4am

faint cedar
#

4 am is

#

what

#

is not fine

#

the fuck lol

#

I don't even know whether to call that night or morning

tropic herald
#

Okay you clearly have a normal sleep schedule

rare magnet
#

who wakes up at 4am

tropic herald
#

Me :)

faint cedar
#

oh, yeah, I guess I'm the ass hole with a normal sleep schedule eh 😛

tropic herald
#

But realistically I just go to sleep kinda early and wake up like 4am is normal

rare magnet
#

when do u go to sleep to wake up at 4am

tropic herald
#

Like 10 lol

faint cedar
#

6 hours sleep

digital cloud
#

not so bad

tropic herald
#

Aren’t you in school? 6 hours is fine

faint cedar
#

I'm not

digital cloud
#

old people get plenty of sleep for 6 hours

faint cedar
#

and even when I was I got 10-12 hours

digital cloud
#

younger people need more like 9-10

tropic herald
#

I’m in school rn so I just sleep on 6 most nights

faint cedar
#

on 6?

#

like 6pm?

tropic herald
#

6 hours

faint cedar
#

in which case, at 6*?

#

ah, for 6*

tropic herald
#

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

faint cedar
#

I'm pretty sure school isn't to blame

#

it's a constant

#

you have to manage your time around it

tropic herald
#

Ok I’m not going to have this argument Bc it’s not going to budge

faint cedar
#

it's easy to place the blame on others to not feel so bad about yourself 😛

digital cloud
#

oooof

#

ok this is getting off topic

faint cedar
#

MUH OWL TOKENS, OWL WHY

tropic herald
#

They are in Korea

#

THEY WENT TO KOREA

faint cedar
#

traveling during a pandemic to play computer games

digital cloud
#

ah, that is more like it

#

I feel more at home already

faint cedar
#

as you should!

#

stay at home!

tropic herald
#

Whining about virtual credits for a group of pixels on a screen

faint cedar
#

thinking I'm whining when I'm typing in all caps

tropic herald
#

The other part that’s not in caps

faint cedar
#

you're not in caps

#

go put on a cap

#

protect your head

tropic herald
#

You’re clearly not happy that they are in Korea

faint cedar
#

you're clearly not cappy

tropic herald
#

Because now you have to wake up early for tokens

faint cedar
#

lmfao I'm not waking up for shit actually

digital cloud
#

just watch the replays

faint cedar
#

do replays give tokens?

tropic herald
#

No

faint cedar
tropic herald
#

Are you just gonna be here and be mad

faint cedar
#

the only one mad here is you

#

lol

tropic herald
#

No I’m just annoyed

#

People like you confuse me

faint cedar
#

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

tropic herald
#

Im@sorry that you don’t like me being annoyed at you

#

But it’s just gonna happen

faint cedar
#

I have no preference over whether or not you're annoyed at me actually

tropic herald
#

But you do? Because you still talk to me and tell@me what I should be doing

faint cedar
#

I'm giving you life advice

tropic herald
#

I think your advice isn’t worthwhile

faint cedar
viral veldt
#

Can y'all argue in dms

faint cedar
#

see, he gets it

tropic herald
#

I keep forgetting what channels I talk in

#

I talk in them like gd

viral veldt
#

Like it's entertaining and all but the thing you're arguing over is stupid

faint cedar
#

I wouldn't even call this an argument, I'd just call it stupid lmao

#

there's no clear side

digital cloud
#

those things aren't mutually exclusive

tropic herald
#

It’s entertaining me Bc I have something to do rn

digital cloud
#

well do it somewhere else

#

this is for esports not petty squabbling

tropic herald
#

Shanghai gonna win tomorrow

#

Then again Philly also made questionable choices

#

So maybe Philly just sandbagging

true hound
#

esports d get spicy sometimes

#

anyways

#

Yeah philly is scufffeed

digital cloud
#

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

tropic herald
#

Bc lore discussion is ran by Jewvia

woven badge
#

lore arguments can get heated

tropic herald
#

The main moderation here is Sprite

digital cloud
#

Sprite is chill

tropic herald
#

Who is a lot more lax than Jewvia

true hound
#

ye

woven badge
#

i prefer pepsi tbh

tropic herald
#

But still

#

Philly rest did just play Volskaya into Shanghai

#

Who had Diem in

woven badge
#

are all the games going to be @ 5AM?

tropic herald
#

The first game tomorrow is 5am EST yeah

woven badge
#

also who won cause I fell asleep cause timezones

#

i know shock won

tropic herald
#

Shock Shanghai

viral veldt
#

Shock shd

woven badge
#

called it

tropic herald
#

3-2 3-0

woven badge
#

i fucking called the 3-2 and yall mfs did not believe me

#

talking about 3-1 bs

#

nah it'll be close

tropic herald
#

I’m concerned for Philly now

woven badge
#

philly shock will be interesting

digital cloud
#

Philly still could look good against Seoul

tropic herald
#

Philly need to shut down Gesture and Profit

woven badge
#

shanghai is superior to seoul, so it's not hopeless for philly

#

exactly

#

profit got so much value last night

tropic herald
#

Which should be doable for Philly

#

But I’m not 100% confident in it

woven badge
#

it'll either be close or a roll

#

like 3-2 or 3-0

tropic herald
#

I have a suspicion Shanghai will slap shock tomorrow

woven badge
#

3-2 is philly can wrangle in profit and gesture, 3-0 if they cant

#

same

#

i hope so

#

shd is amazing

vagrant jacinth
#

I so hope profit and gesture carry on performing

digital cloud
#

I hope profit fails and turns into carpe so that I can stop hearing people harp on him all the damn time

vagrant jacinth
#

:(

digital cloud
#

we need to move on to the new generation already

vagrant jacinth
#

Idk man, it's nice to have vets/familiar faces

digital cloud
#

well sure, but acting like the old ones aren't worse than the new is pretty annoying to me

#

the nostalgia blinds people

vagrant jacinth
#

Ah yeah I see what you mean

#

Profit/gesture are still pretty top tier imo though

digital cloud
#

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

woven badge
#

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

the Jayne leaks were true

#

not surprising

Is it possible to claim the tracer skin already or can you only get it on Saturday?

karmic grotto

Nai as coach for gladiators, who's with me?!

upper niche
#

Alright, gonna check if I got owl token drops for last night. Predictions?

#

Looks like I got 25 😦

balmy wolf
#

I checked bracket there are 3 matches being played today

#

Loser finals being the last one

tropic herald
#

Yes

upper niche
#

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?

tropic herald
#

Yes

#

Only control was close

#

Yet Philly made some poor map choices

#

They picked KR and Volskaya

upper niche
#

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.

raw ermine
#

r/compoverwatch

#

their was post that said Jayne might have accidentally leaked curry leaving

upper niche
#

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.

true hound
#

i want uber for finals

uber is hype af

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?

calm ibex
#

Wait excuse me??????? 5fucking am??

#

Wtf

upper niche

I'd take 5pm over the midnight match we get

calm ibex
#

Sry AM

#

5 am then 7 am

THANK GOD MY SCHOOL HAS BREAK

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

calm ibex

It’s soooo weird

#

the old ones are probably worse than the new talent, but I don't think they get worse themselves

little tusk
#

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

digital cloud
#

slower reaction times

#

also the new people get to build off the experience of the older players

upper niche
#

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.

#

Interesting

earnest leaf
#

I bet cloudy is gone by next week

balmy wolf
#

probs

#

glads making early moves

grizzled mango
#

I want to see them get a new coach.

balmy wolf
#

thats a big gamble

#

this is dpeis worst season, but they werent terrible either

grizzled mango
#

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

balmy wolf
#

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

tawdry hamlet
#

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

raw ermine
#

yeah

tawdry hamlet
#

Wild

raw ermine
#

hmm

#

leaked trade?
lul

limber pine
#

he hasn't tweeting anything since 2019

#

so I'm guessing he just didn't update

hidden vault
#

He lost his password to his account

#

Why would he be traded back lol

raw ermine
#

bruh I am joking

hidden vault
#

Okay nice joke bruh

#

Let's move on

#

Who do you guys think glads would pick up?

#

Will they move full korean?

raw ermine
#

Glister

#

trade kev for glister

#

cause london want EU players

hidden vault
#

Or pick up more finnish

#

EU?

#

I thought they want british?

raw ermine
#

Regional

tropic herald
#

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

raw ermine
#

it was rumoured they would promote their academy, london

tropic herald
#

That would be Pog

raw ermine
#

I could see them getting a really good contender support line

#

just cause

tropic herald
#

British hurricane has been slapping

#

Imagine if Glads picked up the O2 support line

raw ermine
#

Neko-finn

#

How has neko evolved to a main support?

tropic herald
#

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

raw ermine
#

yeah

tropic herald
#

I expect MCD will have some kind of war for him

hidden vault
#

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?

balmy wolf
#

nah bro theres a top tier support line in NA rn

#

4 that are easily tier 1 supports duos

tropic herald

How did that go to that

What

#

Zholik

balmy wolf
#

shu?

tropic herald
#

No

#

Zholik became Shoo-in

balmy wolf
#

weird

#

shu is actually a nice pickup

#

if he gets dropped

tropic herald
#

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?

balmy wolf
#

idk

tropic herald
#

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.

next mesa
#

Poko: I think apac is messy

upper niche
#

I'm worried it's looking entirely possible we could see a SEO d SHD final.

next mesa
#

either that or vs shock

earnest leaf
#

eh I doubt seoul will beat shock again if shock loses

#

I'm not 100% if they will even beat philly

hazy ruin
#

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

earnest leaf
#

I'm waking up at 4am to watch it lol

#

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.

little tusk
#

@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

upper niche
#

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.
