[balmy wolf]

Thank you

[tight hill]

Louisville Esports

I’ll be sure to watch them I didn’t know they where competing

[balmy wolf]

Is there also apac region for this ?

[sullen berry]

there was

it's running on the Korean website in their timezone

they should be wrapping up theirs later today

[mortal abyss]

There's reigons for na eu and apac but only na is streamed on the OWL channel

You'll have to find individual players streams for those matches

[tight hill]

Wait can I get drops for watching it on my xbox or no

My account is linked and signed in

[mortal abyss]

think so

[tight hill]

Ok

[balmy wolf]

Ahh thanks yall :)

[mortal abyss]

if you want the tokenst to go to your xbox account make sure your blizzard and xbox accounts are linked

[tight hill]

I have all those done

[mortal abyss]

yeah you should be fine then

[tight hill]

Ok

Th tanks

[sullen berry]

I'd also suggest if you have done this to connect your blizzard account to your Youtube acc

not doing this isn't a problem, YET

[tight hill]

Ok

And this is going into tonight correct?

[raw ermine]

how do you determine what rewards you've gotten?

[sullen berry]

it's going to be up for day 2 as well

[tight hill]

Ok thanks for being my tech support for the day

[dry mesa]

how many games are there for experimental flash ops

[sullen berry]

no problem, you're lucky I'm paid extra for doing this irl

[dry mesa]

really frustrating to find the info

[tight hill]

That must be a hard job with all the jerks in the world

[sullen berry]

yeah the stream is kinda missing a lot of matches that could be played while we wait
https://gamebattles.majorleaguegaming.com/pc/overwatch/tournament/flash-ops-experimental-na/bracket

you see you only treat them as jerks if they're not directly responsible for treating COVID in their local district

[mortal abyss]

eskay was in a pause for like 30 mins

[dry mesa]

holy shit thats a lot of games

[sullen berry]

my company does all sorts of app development and project/procurement tech support

yeah, it'd be a shame if X Soe and Reinforce were absolutely boomed hosting a casual tournament

while casting one match each round is pretty lackluster

at least it delivered on entertainment

[tight hill]

Yeah it’s also must be hard to cast a match that people are just screwing around in

[dry mesa]

seems weird to not have this info on some official owl website

no wonder people have a hard time finding things

[tight hill]

They do but you have to do some kind of cikata type shit to find it

[sullen berry]

so whose match is likely to be stream during NA Round of 16?

could be following the mayhem since they're our only storyline

[tight hill]

Also where can I find souels game

[mortal abyss]

try and find one of their player's streams

whats the time at rn for yg

wanna make sure im not behind

The quality has been great for me

It might take some time for the tokens to be delivered but yeah hopefully

[wintry kraken]

@!drops 😄

[sullen berry]

the story line for someone whose just finished watching wandavision is hopeful they win

[worn hornet]

and of course chat was just spamming !drops the whole time that PSA was playing

[sullen berry]

oh you gotta embrace it for the engagement

[worn hornet]

what'd I miss in the first hour or so of the stream anyway?

[sullen berry]

it was Team Travel Bans (Fusion) vs Team MuYaHo (Mayhem)

we've had like a 20 min wait after their 2-1

it's a first to 2

now it's Dallas (above) vs AHJA

they just beat Washington Justice before this

[wanton birch]

jeez did the stream looks so much better

[next mesa]

xzi tracer is not

inspirational we'll leave it at that

[rich bear]

does anyone know if you can still earn tokens from youtube when the video is in the background? like when playing overwatch?

[quartz cairn]

Is something happenigf

[rapid locust]

i have no clue

[sullen berry]

it's not really confirmed, but according to some COD friends you can mute the tab in chrome but make sure stream doesn't stop suddenly

[rich bear]

well with twitch, it detected if it was in the background or something, so like if i had a fullscreen game over it, then the stream would just go black

[worn hornet]

I've been known to drag a window so that 95% of it was off screen

[rich bear]

and i didnt earn rewards for overwatch or any other game when it was like that

[sullen berry]

doesn't hurt to watch, but I get what you mean

[rich bear]

i wanna play gaem dood. tokens keeping me hostage

[worn hornet]

I wonder if you could mute the browser at the system level instead of the stream to not detect it

[rich bear]

blizzard disabling my computer to mine tokens

[sullen berry]

suck on that Riot Vanguard

[rich bear]

kek

i deleted that few days ago

[sullen berry]

i unistalled it last night

[rich bear]

kernel level anti cheats are just virus

[sullen berry]

it apparently was taking up over "3TB" so it seemed like a no brainer

[rich bear]

especially when i uninstall their launcher and games 3 years ago and it still here

anyway, ill try playing overwathc with it playing in the background and see if it goes up.
How are they doing tokens this time? every hour? every game?

[sullen berry]

it's every hour

[rich bear]

oke

[sullen berry]

how many tokens hasn't been discussed

[rich bear]

well we'll see if i get more than 13 lol

[sullen berry]

if we go by precious experience it's 5 tokens per hour but it's not official this year

[tropic herald]

Last time they had tokens it was 5

[sullen berry]

I need 9

[worn hornet]

wow my audio is like a good 5 seconds out of sync

[sullen berry]

yeah a lot of folks aren't coping

[mortal abyss]

switch to hd quality it fixed it for me

[sullen berry]

but there's a bunch of folks fast forwarding a live stream which makes it out of sync real fast

refresh your page

and make sure you see this to continue tracking your watch time on the main website

[upper sphinx]

Been watching since the stream went live, I didn't get any tokens.

I'm not even surprised.

[mortal abyss]

it usually takes a while for the tokens to come through

at least in my experience

[half rivet]

I don’t get tokens often when I watch

Cuz it’s just tech shit

[upper sphinx]

it's embarrassing

[half rivet]

Wait what changes does Orisa have in the patch

[sullen berry]

#overwatch-news message

her shield is extra thicc

Orisa's Protective Barrier:
Health increased from 600 to 700
Cooldown increased from 10 to 11

[dry mesa]

“Muyaho” was actually a meme from infinity challenge.

The cast was asking locals if they know infinity challenge slogan which screams “Muhan~ dojeon!” but the locals answered “Muyaho~!” instead. It went viral in Korea

[sullen berry]

Context with a 21st century fox meme

I think I just played against a pro

[dry mesa]

[cedar oasis]

Never

[sullen berry]

okay

then diem has a team

#esports-news message

[karmic grotto]

who is ahja

[sullen berry]

you've never heard of Abraham's Hebrew Jewish Academy?

they wiped the floor of Justice

[dry mesa]

they played in the kanezaka challenge or at least some of their players did

[karmic grotto]

[dry mesa]

that was actually kinda fun to watch

[karmic grotto]

fuel overrated

ahja activated

imagine losing to some non owl team

[sullen berry]

yeah I like Vision and Karrotz

firewolf trying to play me for a fool for not knowing about him

[dry mesa]

tbf, this isn't a serious game and idk how much they are actually "lean foward" trying if you know what i mean.

[karmic grotto]

true

i bet ahja is having the time of their life

[sullen berry]

well of course not, just amusing how much justice look like they don't want it as much as mayhem on their role switches or dallas with sp9rk1e mei

[dry mesa]

i love those suicide charges

so entertaining

except in my rank games, don't do that

[karmic grotto]

establishing dominance

[next mesa]

Fearless rein is sooooo goooddd

[mortal abyss]

mtd

[dry mesa]

smol ball is so funny

[mortal abyss]

damn still pretty close though

[brisk patio]

How do points work now?

[mortal abyss]

soe?!

[rare magnet]

wow the owl team is winning thats new

[mortal abyss]

link your youtube and blizzard account

[mortal abyss]

Well suprisingly it's extremely close

[brisk patio]

It's already connected.

I mean are these points hourly?

[mortal abyss]

Yeah

[brisk patio]

It's been like, an hour already I think.

[rare magnet]

yall got this off sync audio too

[mortal abyss]

just refresh stream

[shut fossil]

are they revamping the owl skins anytime soon ?

[plush grail]

!drops

[tropic herald]

Dallas may not be trying but sparkle blade still clean

[karmic grotto]

why r they rying

its just a tournament

[rare magnet]

nope. well who knows

[karmic grotto]

Team difference

[tropic herald]

I’m not suggesting they should be trying

[sullen berry]

also like everyone one participating, they want to get a feel for Sp9rk1e's suggestions anyways

maybe he regrets making his own hero too good

[cedar oasis]

Alarm or violet

[karmic grotto]

[tawdry hamlet]

I don't recognize anyone from the other team

[karmic grotto]

must be some scrim team having the time oftheir lives

[sullen berry]

yeah this had to be the most cathartic team fights they've had

in your entire t2/t3 career

[willow moon]

[next mesa]

Reign should have on main roles

[earnest leaf]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evqsLVjR6Kc

[next mesa]

It is AT..

[willow moon]

Thaaaanks

[earnest leaf]

[sullen berry]

https://overwatchleague.com/en-us also watching here because it'll check if you're eligible to receive tokens

[next mesa]

Wait

[next mesa]

Why does AT have sigma?

Wtf?

[sullen berry]

well it's not officially AT, right

[next mesa]

True but

Wack still

[sullen berry]

having speedily makes this very interesting to me

[willow moon]

Usually my region is left out but let's see, thanks!

[sullen berry]

their TOS for the token drops will show who is eligible

[next mesa]

Isn't speedily the 16 year old

Wait that's sugarfree

[raw ermine]

sugar is 15

[willow moon]

nvm I'm elligible let's gooo

[raw ermine]

speedily is young as well

[sullen berry]

speedily also not old enough, could have join the Second Wind players on Vancouver Titans

[sullen berry]

pog

[next mesa]

Sugarfree 16 now

I thought he retired

[raw ermine]

he is

[next mesa]

Do you guys think owl should lower age limit

[raw ermine]

but subbed in a ton for AT during gauntlet

idk if they can lower

even if they could

it would be a pain

[next mesa]

Cracked 16 yo can't play a bit of a blow to your grind

Wait

You can gain tokens on yt now?

[sullen berry]

yeah

[digital cloud]

More people watching this than I expected

[next mesa]

Stream doesn't work for me on owl alp

[sullen berry]

that's the big deal about it

[next mesa]

App*

[digital cloud]

Due to tokens I guess

[mortal abyss]

sad that the florida dallas game isnt on stream

[sullen berry]

[thin relic]

[earnest leaf]

Who's on cree for atl rn?

[digital cloud]

Reaper Friday is basically Atlanta reign in a trench coat isn’t it

[earnest leaf]

is it erster?

[digital cloud]

Edison people are saying

[tropic herald]

its edison

[willow moon]

Mad lad Cree

[earnest leaf]

ah

[tropic herald]

pelican rein diffing sh2pe

[earnest leaf]

So 3 of them are on their main roles

[tropic herald]

unlucky

[earnest leaf]

then two dps players on tank

and gator dps

[tropic herald]

neither team is trying but this just is so funny

[supple prism]

is there a bracket somewhere for the Tourney?

[mortal abyss]

posted it earlier

[tropic herald]

https://gamebattles.majorleaguegaming.com/pc/overwatch/tournament/flash-ops-experimental-na/bracket

basically every team left is an owl team or a tendies team

[digital cloud]

Makes sense

[sullen berry]

wouldn't have it any other way

[tropic herald]

actaully im not sure who any one on 9 is

[digital cloud]

Well it would be kinda cool if some unknown team did well

[covert furnace]

is the experimental tournament stream having drops?

[tropic herald]

yes

[digital cloud]

Idk does it

[covert furnace]

any grey skins or just tokens?

[tropic herald]

tokens

[digital cloud]

I mean there is only 24 thousand people watching, surely all of them are there to watch

And not farming drops

[sullen berry]

5 per hour

[tropic herald]

the pinned message in chat tells you how to do stuff

[sullen berry]

I was on 191 at the start of today's matches

tokens should take a lot longer to process

but I logged in and I'm on 196

[supple prism]

nah, they are very quick now

[willow moon]

I'm not sure Reiner is getting much value out of Winston?

[plush grail]

[wanton birch]

[tropic herald]

ok pelican

[thin relic]

GATOR

[brisk patio]

[rich sentinel]

how long was the last stream

[next mesa]

Like 4 and a half hours

[rich sentinel]

ok so 4 hours times 5 tokens per hour = 20 tokens?

lol

1/10 the way to echo skin

i dont want to buy it

but i will if i have too

[sullen berry]

you will have to

[rich sentinel]

will watching the stream from today still give tokens

[rich sentinel]

😔

[sullen berry]

this is the most number of matches you will see tomorrow too

yeah it sucks, but I'd rather go without the other if I just managed to save enough to get one today

they will disappear in April, so right now it's impossible with the drop rates currently

[rich sentinel]

oh

oh well

[tight hill]

Do you have to watch an hour straight to get the tokens?

[raw ermine]

not straight

I think you can leave and return at a later date to get your 5

[sullen berry]

you can

[tight hill]

Ok I think I’m like 3 minutes off give or take lmao

[sullen berry]

stream usually starts 15 mins early

so if you go onto their website before the matches start

you should be good as long as you have linked your accounts properly

[left sentinel]

Wtf I watched 4 hours and only got 5 tokens

[sullen berry]

It takes some time to process

I happen to earn just 10 tokens for the full 4 hours, it will come

CDL have done this before on Youtube so you can check out their experience with linking their blizzard account to YT for loot

I have Boston and Dallas going into the finals

[quartz cairn]

Whens flashops on

So i can get me tokens

[formal spruce]

so is watching it on a connected account on youtube the only way to earn points now or does the old way of watching it embedded on the OWL site work too?

[tawdry hamlet]

Old way works as well I think but the youtube way is way more convenient

[formal spruce]

got just 5 points 2 hours in when i had both the OWL site and the youtube stream open, then switched to OWL on my phone and got nothing more, so I couldn't tell

oh well

never had delays when watching it straight from OWL last season

I miss when projectile DPS was a valid role

[tawdry hamlet]

Tbf echo exists

And hanzo is often used in many metas

Mei as well but I don't think she counts but idk

But yes there is far more common hitscan plus tracer meta nowadays

[plush grail]

projectile metas > widow meta >>>>>>> other hitscans

watching ashe and cree for like every game is boring

sumer showdown was peak fun

[mortal abyss]

so was countdown cup

[cursive plover]

why are the names like that

which ones

[mortal abyss]

oh

the player names

[sullen berry]

yeah it's their chinese names

it's for us, thanks to AVRL

[mortal abyss]

ye ok

[sullen berry]

Chinese/KR streams on their owl page aren't eligible for tokens for those lurking
Asia Flash ops doesn't need token drops because unlike most of their fanbase, they can afford things

Alan Gai casting this match makes this a little more homely on bilibili

[mortal abyss]

You a boston fan?

And the bitrate holds up on 4k, i'm watching on my tv it looks amazing

I'm at 1440 since I'm too lazy to bump my monitor back up to 4k for half a map

[mortal abyss]

his grapple length was also reduced as a result

aww

[balmy wolf]

not his grapple cd?

[mortal abyss]

no the actual length that the grapple can reach

[willow moon]

Small ball = shorter grapple rope kinda

Is the logic

[balmy wolf]

Wrecking Ball
Size reduced by 15%
Ammo reduced from 80 to 70
Grappling Claw cooldown increased from 5 to 7 seconds
Adaptive Shield no longer prevents enemies from generating ultimate charge

i dont see length

[open vector]

why do they bring the tracer skin back?

they did that already

[mortal abyss]

it was an unintended change

[willow moon]

oh, huh

[willow moon]

oh, huh

[balmy wolf]

ok gotcha

[mortal abyss]

it's not super noticeable though

[tawdry hamlet]

Holy crap the current commentary lowkey sucks

[willow moon]

Ye the comments are kinda boring

[tawdry hamlet]

I get it's a fun tourney and not serious but they're barely trying lmao

Literally just having convos on top of the game

[willow moon]

I still watch to learn so I'd love some technical comments

[rancid quiver]

does anyone else have issues logging into the OWL site whenever I try it refreshes and the link changes to
https://www.overwatchleague.com/en-us/?error=unsupported_response_type&error_description=Unsupported response types: []

[tawdry hamlet]

LOL Pelican

The meming in this tourney is built different

Gator doomfist and pelican blading as last alive

[willow moon]

flex

Did she self nano

[digital cloud]

Gator actually semi decent at dps

Was not expecting

[balmy wolf]

this is pure chaos

[digital cloud]

Yeah lol

[willow moon]

I loved this match

[digital cloud]

I know this isn’t a legit match but it is still pretty nice to watch

[balmy wolf]

holy pelican genji

[willow moon]

Pelican is thriving

[digital cloud]

Dude is so skilled

[balmy wolf]

ty for warmup lmao

[digital cloud]

Damn this is fun to watch

Owl needs to do this more often

[willow moon]

Yeah this is a good competition

[sullen berry]

You need this kind of commentary to get interested in any professional play by play

[digital cloud]

Flank cree, dps tanks, etc

[willow moon]

Flank Cree is gonna be a thing now

[sullen berry]

I miss some flow and uber level improv

[tawdry hamlet]

Gator cree dif

Wish it was custa that would be perfect

Matt bad!

[sullen berry]

Love this man

[tawdry hamlet]

Ok NVM this overwatch perks ad is kind of meme I like itb

[willow moon]

It's great

[sullen berry]

I had people like yourselves predicting this so safely

[tawdry hamlet]

Stop it, get some help

[willow moon]

get some help

[sullen berry]

Not one I've spoken to considered how deep atlanta run was going to be

Was it Atlanta who did the chandelier Bastion I don't remember

[balmy wolf]

[willow moon]

Ah yes good times

[willow moon]

wtf was this round

[shut fossil]

Gator

Pepega

[willow moon]

Pelican MVP

[tawdry hamlet]

Boston Dubrising

[willow moon]

They deserved it

[tawdry hamlet]

Wish vancouver entered

[balmy wolf]

[tawdry hamlet]

Atlanta memed too much methinks

[still bluff]

I mean yeah they were hard memeing the whole tourney lol

https://youtu.be/c5-wxDVpgOY

The bap window tho

[balmy wolf]

Who watched the over watch league experimental

[digital cloud]

[balmy wolf]

How do the credit thing work

How many do we get

[digital cloud]

[digital cloud]

[digital cloud]

they have had it from before the league was screwed

[balmy wolf]

lol

[shut fossil]

overwatch i'm gonna need my owl tokens

[raw ermine]

[shut fossil]

giving free coins for watching a live is a scam now

don't fall for it

[lyric yacht]

?

[shut fossil]

look on top

[lyric yacht]

I have my tokens. :)

[shut fossil]

😭

i didn't get my tokens

[lyric yacht]

Just be patient...

And always make sure the green dot is showing.

[balmy wolf]

I only watched for 30 cause I didn’t see it

Any other way to get free tokens without spending money

[lyric yacht]

Nope.

But the OWL hasnt even started yet.

So youll get some if you keep watching.

[trail perch]

whos the other DPS besides crystal

[willow moon]

OWL will start on the 16th right?

[next mesa]

[balmy wolf]

2021, LA VALIENT EZ CLAP

[raw ermine]

root for the players not the team

[balmy wolf]

I sure as hell dont want to root for Krystal

I kinda have to root for the team

[raw ermine]

ok, the not morally bankrupt players

[next mesa]

why not you just root for titans

[raw ermine]

which seeing as they signed w/ LAV

might be hard

lol

[next mesa]

why dont you*

[balmy wolf]

We'll have to see which team is worst, Titans or Val, and then thats who ill root for

Ill bet on val

[next mesa]

both shit orgs id rather die than root for either team

id rather become an outlaws fan

[balmy wolf]

Its better to be an outlier than a Shock bandwagon tho

Fuck the Shock

hear that shock

[tepid ibex]

17 more teams to choose from

[balmy wolf]

2021 is not your year shock

[next mesa]

I think dragons will take it

lets go baby

diem

[balmy wolf]

Is Fate>Fearless?

[tepid ibex]

Depends

[balmy wolf]

Or Kariv>

[tepid ibex]

fearless has the better winston, i see a side grade on rein. But fate definitely has a better ball and orisa

[next mesa]

fearless has a better rein

[balmy wolf]

thats a hot take

[next mesa]

really a very cold and reasonable cake

[tepid ibex]

cold and reasonable cake

[raw ermine]

why did I spend 5 minute making this

[next mesa]

take*

wtf

[quartz cairn]

does anyone know if the NA contenders site is back up yet

[tawdry hamlet]

idk wtf everyone is talking about I literally watched like 1 and a half games this morning and got on and had 5 tokens drop lmao

youtube only

idk why it doesn't work for some people since it is an incredibly easy process 😮

[quartz cairn]

oh ya the drops worked for me today

if u didnt watch YT on the site, u might need to make sure ur watching on the site without on another tab

cuz u get the lil green dot

[compact finch]

I think they should buff brig for all the brig players

Best character in the game by far

[vagrant cargo]

Nice bait

[balmy wolf]

Anyone know when korean experimental tourney is ?

[pure badger]

Wasn't there supposed to be a Korean contenders stream now?

[sullen berry]

I thought this finished already

All matches were hosted and finished this weekend

You needed to watch it on the OWL KR website

[sullen berry]

It's live now

come and earn your contenders hours here: https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/contenders/

Three days left before it resets

[cursive plover]

Have the skins for april been announced or am I just blind?

[sullen berry]

!!is it April yet

[young fractal]

You may rely on it.

[balmy wolf]

Yeah it ended my bad some other guy said i was going live in a few hours that's why i thought it still had to start

[sullen berry]

nah, they must have meant Korean Contenders, not the flash ops for Korea

[raw ermine]

YAB is gonna roll and smoke

[plush grail]

Daan over Kaan?

[limber pine]

did i pick the wrong one

Kaan, I meant Kaan

[mortal abyss]

boombox is so good

[plush grail]

Daan Will be good too

But Kaan is super hyped

[mortal abyss]

how is roolf in the league and boombox isnt

[limber pine]

money

[mortal abyss]

😦

[raw ermine]

how I remember it is
Daan- dudes a nuts main tank
Kaan- Korea is shaking rn cuz hes gonna slay

[limber pine]

and maybe boombox didn't want to play in OWL this season, who knows

[mortal abyss]

doubt it

[plush grail]

He joined yab

So he prolly just didn't get a offer

Or performed badly in tryouts

[raw ermine]

I think he went LFT OWL after he left PF

[mortal abyss]

he's playing really well in tendies rn

[raw ermine]

[mortal abyss]

alarm

[raw ermine]

that was my ROTY choice

[plush grail]

ROTY has to be one of the nyxl rookies

they look actually cracked

[raw ermine]

I chose smurf for MVP

[next mesa]

profit

[forest raven]

Viol2t

[plush grail]

no special skin tho sadge :(

[forest raven]

I want a Cree MVP or championship skin

[plush grail]

no special skin sucks so much

[mortal abyss]

a clock ana skin would be sick

[plush grail]

they're gonna get a award and then be forgotten

just make it so the player gets to suggest a concept for the skin and don't include anything that hints towards the player

[tawdry hamlet]

Sparkr is nuts

[feral zodiac]

MVP fate with Shanghai

[next mesa]

if anyone's gonna win mvp on shanghai its gonna be fleta again

[tawdry hamlet]

New Hurricane Roster looks good

ok by every I mean y&b smc and sheer cold

[limber pine]

@raw ermine I like your pick for Dennis Hawelka

[raw ermine]

thanks

rather difficult award

[sullen berry]

can't wait for someone's twitlonger to show up here on an OWL stream

#overwatchContenders

@limber pine any clarity on this one - bonus points if i get it right, but doesn't contribute to scoring?

2 points for every bonus question answered correctly. [These] are optional questions, but you won't get any bonus points!

[tropic herald]

ROTY: Skewed, don’t ask questions I just know I’m right

[limber pine]

@sullen berry They count to scoring, but are optional to answer

some people just want to do the picks and not the questions that actually require some knowledge of the league

Seoul a hard team to judge

only 12-12 last year, and they haven't gotten noticably better.

[next mesa]

what do you mean by regular season point

sorry

wait its probably in the rules

like maps won?

[limber pine]

The article about the season explains the points

1 pt per qualification win

Bonus points if you place top three in a tourney

Uh

Has Libero found a team in contenders?

[raw ermine]

libero hasn't

[hot onyx]

Sadge

[willow moon]

idk why people don't care about contenders

Sure they ain't no OWL but they still play much better than I'll ever play lol so I still have fun watching them

[raw ermine]

https://liquipedia.net/overwatch/GiG

take a look at gigs photo for more than 2 seconds

it looks so fcking weird

[tawdry hamlet]

Considering Muma is a coach for Dark mode I can see now why there's such a main tank diff

MattMerc is nuts

[raw ermine]

muma left. only MattMerc remains

:)

[tawdry hamlet]

The King!

But fr MattMerc looking nuts in the rein department

Well aside from the fact dreamer is subbed by think atm and mcgravy is their coach Darkmode are looking ok

But Obey looks great

MattMerc Petal combo too ham

Matt shattering under payload for the team wipe moment

[willow moon]

I still live for the blizzard + Dva bomb

[tawdry hamlet]

Where's dreamer

Think is getting owned

Darkmode pulling out bastion to win last team fight lmaoo

[willow moon]

That uncontested Widow tho

I love Vikky's commentary. Tbh these two are providing a more interesting show than experimental OWL

[tawdry hamlet]

Experimental ow was kind boring because it was super chill and not intense as it was a show tournament and teams were memeing but this is actual t2 so it's intense. Soe and Reinforce are great in actual owl

Let's go marysville

Crackinalackin hype!

[willow moon]

Someone stop Sigma jesus

[tawdry hamlet]

Saints are getting crushed lmao it's kind of crazy how much the top teams in na t2 have improved

Lukemino is

Honestly all I've noticed, is odyssey always does shit when they try to force dive, rhyno is just not good enough at ball imo

Vulcan is great at dva but idk why they're running sombra

Has me worried

[willow moon]

Rhyno did shut down that Rein good at the last minute though

Kill was Sigma's but Rhyno did most of the job

And the soundwave cancel

[tawdry hamlet]

They chose blizzard world

Instead of da kings row

[willow moon]

@balmy wolf #video-content

[tawdry hamlet]

Malthiel is such a shitposter but his doomfist is so good

[willow moon]

Is it?

[tawdry hamlet]

He always makes such big plays but also just does so much random shit

[willow moon]

That's true lol
Which is why I place him in the "ok" pile

His random shit doesn't yield much

[tawdry hamlet]

In gauntlet a few months ago he hit a fat play on volskaya but I can't find the clip

Malthiel stats

7 deaths, least amount of damage. Next deaths on his team is 3

The tactical feed

[willow moon]

lmfao precisely

I mean I very much wanna see that play

But unreliability doesn't sit well
(Last play was good tho)

[tawdry hamlet]

Tbf he wasted a death just jumping off map in the beginning loll

[willow moon]

Got both predictions right so far 😎

Hey Overwatch friends! I made a Google calendar you can use to keep track of upcoming events! I've already added the Contenders events and so far I have the full May Melee for OWL. Contenders events are in blocks, while the OWL games are listed individually.

I hope this is useful for some of you! Links below-

[tawdry hamlet]

mfw they won the torb round

ok revival

[willow moon]

I'm not familiar with either team but I put my coins on Ardour and I think I made the wrong call

[digital cloud]

Lhcloudy will not be beaten

[tawdry hamlet]

well considering s9 was on American Tornado in gauntlet who were miles above all the other contenders teams last season and gig was on the LA Valiant it is a fair bet, but Cloudy and Seeker are both nuts

have to feel bad for aspen tho

don't think she has ever had success in contenders

[digital cloud]

Some people just get the short end

[tawdry hamlet]

every team she has been on just gets dogged loll

[willow moon]

:

[sand violet]

I mean

its not a coincidence lol

[digital cloud]

It could be

Possibly

[willow moon]

I was thinking about that

[tawdry hamlet]

[willow moon]

If every team ur in gets rolled well

Ur the only constant

[digital cloud]

That or maybe you only get into bad teams

Ans was down bad for a while too

And now he is considered one of the better dps of all time

[tawdry hamlet]

good players can be trapped but aspen is like middle of the road as far as contenders supports go imo

she is good at ladder though

[digital cloud]

I wouldn’t know

[tawdry hamlet]

I think her peak is 4700

tbf main support isn't exactly a carrying role, but she certainly lacks in some heroes but she is committed to the grind

[sand violet]

Shes just mid af for na contenders which is a region with already very weak ms talent

[tawdry hamlet]

[sand violet]

which is why I dont understand why ppl are always wanting her on an owl team lol

like when ppl wanted her on toronto

[tawdry hamlet]

because she is the only girl in pro overwatch atm

[digital cloud]

female

[tawdry hamlet]

not that she hasn't earned it like everyone else obviously but like you know

[sand violet]

shes like fine for na t2 level but shes just not owl material

[digital cloud]

Definitely a great player

[sand violet]

I mean ojee is the only ms in na who is owl level anyways

who isnt already in owl

[digital cloud]

Probably

Why does na have to suck at all esports

[tawdry hamlet]

Lukemino is probably na owl level on baptiste but otherwise idk

[sand violet]

korea has a different perspective on gaming and committing to it

there and china

it is more supported

than in na

so naturally they are better at it

given more advantages

[digital cloud]

Why can’t we have good esports instead of a bunch of chucklenuts playing football and soccer and basketball

[tawdry hamlet]

NA Counter strike

is so dead

[digital cloud]

It hurts seeing us lose in esports all the damn time

[tawdry hamlet]

it is nuts
