#

yeah my bad cant spell today

hot onyx
#

That excitement is going to be short lived when IMT and Whynot ruin another team of promising players

willow tartan
#

hey man

#

idc what they do as long as the games are competitive

tropic herald
#

Gwangboong praydge

rapid tundra
#

same

tawdry hamlet
#

I watched chengdu last night and it was epic

hot onyx
tawdry hamlet
#

Gaga nuts

hot onyx
#

Jjonak sombra and Gwangboong ana

kind ridge
#

how many said toronto would win just curious

hot onyx
#

I believe my signature would make 1

#

And as soon as I get a regular status I can post proof

tropic herald
tawdry hamlet
#

Idk I figured atlanta wouldn't be able to choke with their roster but the tank dif yeahok

#

Hawk is bottom 3 off tank no cap

hot onyx
#

Atlanta are so one dimensional that it hurts

tawdry hamlet
#

Like even masaa has his moments but hawk is just consistently meh

#

And gator can't play dive to save his life

hot onyx
#

Yeah that happens

willow drum
#

Sheeesh

#

that reverse sweep!

#

Also would you guys place the Outlaws above the Shock in the playoffs?

tawdry hamlet
#

I'm excited for london because their tank line was running several different comps so they will at least be flexible ish dps aside

#

They had the ball comp, the rush, and the orisa

#

Was fun to watch in gauntlet

hot onyx
#

People buy into the Atlanta hype forgetting the players they keep from last year are mediocre at best and put all their faith in the dps line, hoping that next year it’ll have an effect on the tank and support line when there’s been little to no impactful coaching changes

upper niche
#

lol the battle mercy

balmy wolf
#

Striker was crying ._ . That's so sad

willow drum
earnest leaf
#

Atl played vs teams that can win without forcing rush

willow drum
#

i feel bad for the shock now

#

Because they came so close

earnest leaf
#

So their tank line's weaknesses get noticable af

balmy wolf
#

Do they all get paid for playing??

willow drum
hot onyx
#

Oh no what will Striker do without another cash prize of $50000

balmy wolf
#

I don't see why it would be such a loss since they're always gonna compete right?

willow drum
#

striker is like the most payed overwatch pro

#

iirc

tawdry hamlet
#

They get salary lmao

willow drum
#

That still plays the game

#

he's made 650K

#

or around

balmy wolf
#

Yeah I don't think it's something to cry over but overwatch is stressful tbh

hot onyx
tawdry hamlet
#

Most shock repeat guys are upwards of 400k

balmy wolf
#

To have actual stakes could make that worse

willow drum
tawdry hamlet
#

Dita cried after losses yeahok

#

Diya

willow drum
#

I mean Shock has never been top in the regular season

balmy wolf
#

I cry after losses too and I'm not getting paid lul

kind ridge
#

they get fixed salary unlike other esports where thats entirely up to you

dark hedge
#

lav hurts to watch lmao

willow drum
#

Shock always shines in the playoffs

hot onyx
#

Oh no what about the Outlaws players who have experienced little to no victory

tawdry hamlet
willow drum
#

So I doubt that this upset will matter too much

balmy wolf
willow drum
#

But lets talk about shanghai

tawdry hamlet
#

Mfw Linkzr made more winnings in widow tourney than his entire outlaws career

willow drum
tropic herald
#

Why you guys capping on a player crying after a loss? Just let them cry it’s not hurting you

willow drum
#

lets be real that striker mcree

minor flame
#

is ATL really gonna be like S2 Titans

willow drum
#

reddit trick

hot onyx
#

Why be sad about Shock players not adding more cash to their money bath instead of being happy about the entertaining upset and Houston players being ecstatic?

minor flame
#

really dominant on one comp

willow drum
#

was sick as hell

minor flame
#

then when that comp turns out bad they just fall the fuck apart

tawdry hamlet
#

I don't think anyone was were they

willow drum
#

But our preds were already ruined

tropic herald
#

I love Sado

willow drum
#

after chengdu went against shanghai

#

so

minor flame
#

wish i could gamble more on owl

tropic herald
#

I wish Toronto would do player content more

minor flame
#

on non existent points

hot onyx
tropic herald
#

Slime

willow drum
tawdry hamlet
#

I can't gamble on owl because I gamble too much in csgo already OmegaLUL

willow drum
#

since s1 as a friend

sullen berry
#

Me, oh you mean against SHOCK

willow drum
#

he predicted a 3-0

#

against shock

balmy wolf
willow drum
#

He was just trolling but he got the points

wanton birch
#

When you realise gladiators have even worse ownership than valiant

tawdry hamlet
#

Danny the Prophet predicted it smh

wanton birch
#

Full chengdu support the

sullen berry
#

Did they all genuinely pick Houston on the desk

willow drum
#

nah

#

only danny did

#

iirc

hot onyx
tropic herald
#

Danny just knows too much

willow tartan
#

he's a script writer

willow drum
#

dw

tropic herald
#

Still can’t believe people thought Atlanta would beat Mayhem

sullen berry
#

He has been with these Korean players translating the top players he clearly knows something from KR social media

willow drum
#

Hmmmm what are NA rankings then?

willow tartan
#

uhh

willow drum
#

On paper ofc

tropic herald
#

Real ones or power

willow tartan
#

who is at the top of the ladder?

#

standings

willow drum
#

Power

sullen berry
#

All those years of knowledge has come to this. Accept chaos, predict no other teams but the ones you believe in

raw ermine
#

power rankings should be retired

#

sorry

willow drum
#

They should be

raw ermine
#

they are useless

willow tartan
#

but its funny to see

willow drum
#

But I do wanna know which ones are

#

"the top"

balmy wolf
#

u gotta wait for a meta change to happen to get a gauge on all the teams

willow tartan
#

true

willow drum
#

I mean we havent even a lot of the teams play

willow tartan
#

we need a stable meta to get proper rankings

willow drum
#

like justice

willow tartan
#

yeah

#

half of the league hasnt played

willow drum
#

But probably shock > outlaws > justice > fuel > >>>> Eternal > Titans > Glads

hot onyx
#

Chengdu Philly and Mayhem currently top 3 I believe

tropic herald
#

Based off teams that played

willow tartan
#

you think outlaws will be better than fuel when they get a proper hitscan?

balmy wolf
#

hunters look way better than past seasons

willow drum
#

It'd be close fr

#

I mean Dallas plays super weirdly

barren quest
#

Is Diem in a team?

balmy wolf
#

ga9a is insane, and their support line got better too

willow drum
#

so u cant scrim well against it

willow drum
willow tartan
#

and what about mayhem

willow drum
#

i forgot mayhem mb

#

its like same level as fuel

barren quest
#

I thought he left Shanghai

tropic herald
#

Mayhem Outlaws comes down to map pool

willow tartan
#

He left and renegotiated a contract

willow drum
hot onyx
#

Mayhem have been hard underrated since the start of the season and everyone thought I was crazy for having them 5/20 in my rankings

tropic herald
#

This is current

willow tartan
#

yea

tropic herald
#

Not end of season

willow tartan
#

mayhem poggers

willow drum
#

ah

barren quest
#

I guess they can probably pick up Libero

willow drum
#

I can't see this upset happening more tbh

#

Crusty just too OP

tropic herald
#

Shock has a loss quota

willow tartan
#

we need ans to come out of retirement and play for the fuel

tropic herald
#

They can’t be best in the region record wise so they sandbag for a better seed

willow tartan
#

that's the legendary lineup

willow drum
#

yeah beginning of year they dont do the best

hot onyx
#

When does MN3 turn 18?

earnest leaf
#

Shock is always weirdly slow in the beginning of the season

#

But after the may melee I can see the meta easily swapping to double bubble/double shield

tropic herald
#

I’m not even surprised Outlaws did this well

#

They kinda are all grinders

#

Every single one of them plays a lot lot of ranked

willow drum
#

Outlaws just got together

willow tartan
#

man double shield i like

hot onyx
willow tartan
#

they gotta get back in the groove

willow drum
#

s3 charge has upset potential

#

s4 charge....

hot onyx
#

And Viol2t becomes S3 JjonakMorcy

next mesa
#

unfortunately

willow tartan
#

rip

next mesa
#

also if ans played shock win that

#

just sayin

earnest leaf
#

also is it a hot take to say rush meta is the meta that gives worse teams the better chance at winning?

hot onyx
earnest leaf
#

Because rush is simple, it's ooga booga run it down mid

willow drum
#

I think the Shock Supports died way too much in that game against Houston

tropic herald
#

Yeah no

earnest leaf
#

Other metas like double shield and double bubble shows off team coordination much more imo

willow drum
#

and Happy played the best I've ever seen

earnest leaf
#

Happy took shock and kicked them in the teeth

tropic herald
#

Viol2t and FD need to stop playing that aggro

earnest leaf
#

then spat on them

tropic herald
#

Happy can aim really good

earnest leaf
#

They can play that aggro

willow drum
#

happy just streaky

earnest leaf
#

just not vs happy lmao

hot onyx
tropic herald
#

On fucking Oasis

barren quest
#

Houston has generally performed very well

willow drum
barren quest
#

Looking much better than S3

tropic herald
#

FD sped in for a boop or something

#

Happy goes no

#

Two tap

earnest leaf
#

But in the end, only first two matches of the season

tropic herald
#

That shit was clean

hot onyx
earnest leaf
#

For all we know shock and houston will crumble and Toronto will be the best in NA

tropic herald
#

No

willow drum
#

please

#

its titans vs eternal

#

dont even @ me

hot onyx
willow drum
#

what a toilet bowl man

#

titans vs eternal

#

who wins?

barren quest
#

Boston #1

tropic herald
#

Toronto plays well but they just feel so underwhelming for how good they could be

willow drum
#

actually

hot onyx
earnest leaf
#

I'm very curious to see justice play though

willow drum
#

yeah daddy decay carry

tropic herald
#

Justice I know pounded Glads in some scrims once

#

So if that means anything

barren quest
#

Justice could probably be top 5 NA team

hot onyx
#

Bebe is the Stand1 of flex supports

#

Don’t get too hyped

barren quest
#

Glads looked quite rough

tropic herald
#

I’m going to go feral if someone calls Justice support line bad again

hot onyx
tropic herald
#

It’s like watching people say Valiant are bad when it’s very clear they haven’t watched a single apac game

hot onyx
#

Yeah but I’ve seen teams play with Bebe and teams play without Bebe

tropic herald
#

I will give you guys this warning now, I will clown on you if you try to talk about a match you didn’t watch, I’ve seen so many of you do it and I think this is the year I fight back

earnest leaf
hot onyx
balmy wolf
#

i really thought charge would take 1 game this weekend

barren quest
#

Did Justice play this weekend?

balmy wolf
#

then they didnt take 1 map

dark hedge
tropic herald
#

No

barren quest
#

Haven't seen London, Spark, and NYXL play either yet

hot onyx
#

Bebe is only awful because of who he is competing against

earnest leaf
#

Also

#

Shock just needs to force Striker/Nero/Super/Choi/Viol2t/FDgod

#

just run those on rush at all times

dark hedge
#

legit the only map they took was cuz they hunters soloulted ppl lmao

tropic herald
#

For rush yeah

hot onyx
#

Ir15 and Kaan are better than Bebe

#

And I will stand by that statement

tropic herald
#

But if I watch Shock force rush every map

#

They are gonna have a bad time

earnest leaf
#

They can probably force that lineup on rush vs any team and win

#

So long as the map supports rush

#

Like that lineup is the only one that took maps off houston and drawed

tropic herald
#

Yeah but it’s a shame Bc not every map will let them do that

hot onyx
#

Bebe > Wya Roolf Crimzo and maybe Ripa

#

He is only being claimed as good because he is playing for a good team

#

What about if Bebe was on the Charge?

dark hedge
#

where does bebe play on again

hot onyx
#

Justice

dark hedge
#

ah

#

right

earnest leaf
#

So I know teams get paid for this game

#

But why the fuck do they run lineups/comps that lose

#

Just stick to what works and win

#

plz

earnest leaf
#

Like I think shock wins 3-1 if they force their primary lineup on rush

#

vs outlaws

hot onyx
#

Doom Junk Orisa Ball Zen Lucio comp works about as well as Stand1 is going to work for the Uprising

balmy wolf
#

that sounds like a way to get echo dive force on you

tawdry hamlet
#

I watched the valiant game and honestly, if the charge play like they have been or if spark in spark fashion flops I could see them losing a series to valiant, but chengdu looks rock solid right now and I think every other team can mechanic dif them maybe?

#

they looked a lot better than anyone would expect at least which is something

dark hedge
tawdry hamlet
#

very cohesive for a hastily assembled group

balmy wolf
#

we'll see how long its take for valiant to take a match

earnest leaf
#

All it takes for valiant to win is a team shitting the bed for one week

dark hedge
#

or whatever theyre called

willow drum
#

shock messed around too much

#

underestimated them i think in the beginning

#

cost em

earnest leaf
#

Eh super got rein diffed a bit too hard on lijang for me to say it would be a 3-0 with striker in

dark hedge
#

maybe

earnest leaf
#

but who knows

willow drum
#

cant wait for supers stream

#

lmaoo

tawdry hamlet
#

Happy was diffing every mcree they threw at him lmao

balmy wolf
#

just sticking to 1 team for the meta is better than messing with subs

tawdry hamlet
#

they literally threw what 3 different cree players at happy?

willow drum
#

at happy

#

iirc

dark hedge
#

if happy and jjanggu pops off they could prob take a map against shocks A team

tawdry hamlet
#

ta1yo and striker, and did glister play any cree at all I don't remember it was a long ass series

dark hedge
tropic herald
#

I also found it strange how Happy shows how good Hanzo is on Anubis

#

And Shock just go

willow drum
#

ta1yo, striker and glister

tropic herald
#

Mmmm McCree

hot onyx
#

Outlaws win against Shocks A Team ez

earnest leaf
#

outlaws weren't able to beat shock's A team

tawdry hamlet
#

I am just amazed at how well the tank line just adapted to the higher level of play like it was nothing

earnest leaf
#

dropped 2 maps and a draw to it

hot onyx
#

If the A Team includes Viol2t then Crimzo support diffs easily

dark hedge
willow drum
tawdry hamlet
#

looked just as good as they did in contenders in their debuts, really liking piggy jjangu so far

willow drum
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tawdry hamlet
#

is hype

runic knoll
#

yo wait what was the name of that website where you choose scores and get points and stuff

willow tartan
#

hot onyx
willow drum
dark hedge
#

happy was pog

willow tartan
#

i watched the games on my second monitor

#

does that not count

#

wtf

willow drum
#

hmmm idk

tawdry hamlet
#

the main tank battle of that series was great

#

the fat shatters back and forth

willow tartan
#

dark hedge
tawdry hamlet
#

I was at 95 pre opening day

#

I am at 210

willow tartan
#

hot onyx
#

I made an attempt to farm tokens on YouTube and the owl app

willow tartan
#

hot onyx
#

Idk how it went though

#

Haven’t played ow in a couple days

willow tartan
#

why not

#

ur building rust bro

#

earnest leaf
#

#

JJangu>muze

hot onyx
#

My worst role is my highest rank I don’t think the rust is going to make any difference

barren quest
#

I got like 35 tokens today and later spent the 100 tokens on buying Hunters Ball

chilly knoll
#

Theres no Max of tokens?

willow tartan
#

there is i thought

#

2000 owl tokens max

balmy wolf
#

enough to buy the whole shop

chilly knoll
#

Ye

willow tartan
#

hell no

#

its 100 per hero

hot onyx
#

Can I sell owl tokens for crypto currency?

willow tartan
#

forest raven
#

ANTE UP KKonaW DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS KKonaW DREAMS SHATTERED JUST LIKE YOUR TEAM KKonaW

balmy wolf
#

willow tartan
#

theres 35 heroes

#

barren quest
#

32

#

Plus the 16 teams

hot onyx
#

Ahh I see another one sees the flex support diff Crimzo has on Viol2t

balmy wolf
#

yea u gotta spend money if u want all the owl skins for each hero

willow tartan
#

51,200 tokens

runic knoll
#

32 heroes, 20 teams

balmy wolf
#

thats a lot of money

willow tartan
#

which is like

#

3,000 dollars of owl skins

forest raven
#

How is that copium

#

What am I coping about

runic knoll
#

and also that lucio emote

chilly knoll
#

We can get the tokens until agoust or Like that right?

willow tartan
#

until the end of the season

tropic herald
#

We all cope in different ways

willow tartan
#

well actually

#

any owl stream

barren quest
#

How well do you guys think Spark and NYXL will do?

mighty linden
#

Are you guys receiving the owl skins after the matches?

willow tartan
#

gives u tokens

forest raven
#

What

hot onyx
tropic herald
#

Welcome to the club draw

willow tartan
#

i got tokens from the echo flash op

forest raven
#

If that's coping then copium has lost all meaning

#

Completely diluted

chilly knoll
#

Any stream?

#

But official streams?

willow tartan
#

ya any owl stream

tropic herald
#

You team got beaten by a team projected to be worse from a Shanghai fan to a Shock fan wholesome

hot onyx
#

Shock is cock Morcy

earnest leaf
#

Also so far seems sado is still pretty solid

#

His rein is a lil overrated though

balmy wolf
#

the coke god

earnest leaf
#

But his monkey is thicc

forest raven
#

Yeah Shock got beat

tropic herald
#

Can Coke gaming sponsor him

forest raven
#

Made me sad but Outlaws played well

#

gg

tropic herald
#

Please

forest raven
#

Is that coping too

balmy wolf
#

also why does he drink so much coke

tropic herald
#

Draw your very first message read like cope ngl but now I got context so it’s less voor

barren quest
#

My man be drinking a whole 2 liter coke

tropic herald
#

Cope

hot onyx
balmy wolf
#

maybe he trying to get a coke making machine

forest raven
#

Go back like five hours ago and all I said was shit like "me sad Sadge " and feeling bad for the boys

tropic herald
#

I wasn’t here 5 hours ago

#

I was still coping with Shanghai loss

balmy wolf
#

hunters have been looking great all weekend, so nice to see them good for once

#

expect for a few blunders

earnest leaf
#

I just feel really bad for striker

forest raven
#

STRIKER

earnest leaf
#

Looked so sad at the end

forest raven
#

The boys' tweets

tropic herald
#

I am a firm believer that Valiant will beat either Zhou team

#

Mark my words

hot onyx
#

Yeah I’d be sad too if I lost the potential for a 6th tournament win and an extra 50k and the excitement of ripping the hope of a team that has never won away from their clutches MercyWhy

earnest leaf
#

Also my preds for the leaderboard are mega boomed

#

I won almost as many points off apac as I did for all of the NA games

tropic herald
#

I am somehow in 9th

hot onyx
tropic herald
#

I am so far behind Bc I thought Seoul would plank and Shanghai wouldn’t plank

balmy wolf
#

too bad charge was worse than we thought

#

that match was quick af

tropic herald
#

Charge are MYEYES

earnest leaf
#

I wanna see philly vs chengdu

tropic herald
#

I’m literally impressed by two players on that team

earnest leaf
#

or philly vs shd

tropic herald
#

Philly have a strong macro

#

So do Chengdu

#

If Shanghai play like they did today they aren’t beating either of them

hot onyx
#

Chengdu get width diffed by Godba

#

3-0

#

The bigger your tanks the better your game

tropic herald
#

Oldest team wins

#

Philly has the highest average age

hot onyx
#

Piggy > Hotba >

#

Remember Fragi?

forest raven
hot onyx
#

Man was an absolute treat to watch

forest raven
#

I hope Chengdu can stay consistent

#

And this wasn't a one off

hot onyx
#

All the inconsistency of this years Seoul and Dallas rolled into one Finnish unit

tropic herald
#

They probably won’t

hot onyx
#

Chengdu will be one of the best teams in the entire league for a double fs meta

#

Also I’m more tired than Boston management when they tried desperately to get a better main tank so I’m gonna get some shut eye bye bi

tropic herald
earnest leaf
#

what if shock are sandbagging so they can take out the higher seed teams earlier in the tournament

willow tartan
#

isnt that like

#

illegal

#

cuz like

#

throwing

#

and besides how would that help them

balmy wolf
#

ah

limber pine
#

they obviously were not sandbagging

balmy wolf
#

the only ones sandbagging were fdgod and whatchamacallit

#

purple.

Philly seems had a rough time even if they pulled it off

Still want to see Paris, London, Boston, NY

snow bolt
#

Damn i could not watch all 3 matches yesterday but i got all my predictions right

sullen berry
#

Atlanta was pain

#

ATL Pain

balmy wolf
#

So esports teams graphics and effects are all different colors

#

Must be a bit confusing sometimes

sullen berry
#

Not really, there's a ton of similar blues and reds

balmy wolf
#

There could be a slight advantages :v

#

Isn't there a team that's all white and another all purple

sullen berry
#

Plus when you redeem an OWL skin for a team, you get a bonus away skin which look great on most teams

balmy wolf
#

Are the hero picks in the league diverse or is there a set six?

sacred parrot
#

I saw it on tv lol

idle gorge
#

The new token system is so nice, I got like 80 tokens last weekend

#

I think I’m just going to save for any like bigger owl skin for when they release so that I don’t have to spend €20 every time to get them

stuck sparrow
#

I still can’t get over how crazy the shock and outlaws ending was

balmy wolf
#

How do you all feel about the OWL hosts?

vestal mortar
#

I wake up and I’m still thinking about that earth shatter flank.

sullen berry
#

Taraaaaaaaaa

vestal mortar
#

Howdy! 😄

robust merlin

#

robust merlin
#

Yeah haha

tidal wave
#

and here i thought we had a plan..... no more tokens for a week

idle gorge
#

how did you manage to get only 50 tokens, i went from 15 to like 105

tawdry hamlet
#

I went from 95 to 210

rapid tundra
#

I only got 80 tokens but didn't watch 2 of the streams cause I would have had to get up at 7 -am to watch them

yeah thats for sure

#

im still wondering how fell in love with the reign, i never watched one game from season one then i found the skins, i guess cause my fav color is red that i love them, then i first saw dafran seeing he was basically a god then boom i become pretty much upsest with them seeing the reign destroy everyone

balmy wolf
#

i was in for kodak

#

fellow german

fast tusk
#

yeah he was pretty good too

balmy wolf
#

and stuck with the players cuz i like them

i was literally shaking at the end

#

I didn’t want Toronto reign but damn

#

This season is insane and it’s only first week

#

#

houston beating shock dallas beating glads chengdu destroying shanghai

sour magnet
#

Houston beating Dallas too

#

Valiant probably not being 20th

houstn beating dallas wasn't an upset afaik

i honestly didnt expect ||defiant to beat reign||

hot onyx
#

I did

limber pine
#

I had it 3-2 reign

#

so meh

#

rewatching SHD/CDH now

#

izayaki dies like 800 times with his ult

hot onyx
#

Reign are too one dimensional with their tanks and supports

#

And Defiant are still getting the hang of the team as a whole, Na1st and Michelle especially

kind ridge
#

i prefer atlanta hitscan over torontos
but toronto is a better team overall

limber pine
#

none at ATL played particularly well yesterday

balmy wolf
#

reign thought rush was meta

#

so they didnt practice much dive

hot onyx
#

Time for you guys to mald but Heesu = Kai

balmy wolf
#

and now got rolled

#

reign honestly would be top 3 in rush meta

raw ermine
#

Heesu seems to be better all around

#

Kai doesn't play tracking dps as good

balmy wolf
#

he doesnt need to

#

edison plays the tracking dps

#

or pelican if hes not in

raw ermine
#

what, you're gonna sub out kai?

balmy wolf
#

depends

hot onyx
#

Please tell me you mean top 3 na and not overall

balmy wolf
plush grail
#

reign overrated as fuck

balmy wolf
#

but i think they wouldnt be great on rush

#

they play monkey for a living

hot onyx
#

Honestly if Reign had like Poko and Benbest they would be in the mid-high tier for me

plush grail
#

this is the exact same as last year

balmy wolf
#

gator fine

plush grail
#

people constantly overrate atlanta in discussions

balmy wolf
#

hawk bad

plush grail
#

but they never ever perform

#

and people keep saying ''but next week they'll be good!!!''

balmy wolf
hot onyx

Scrimbux

limber pine
#

ATL popular in the 5th-8th spot in the contest

#

too early to tell, but they should be right there by the end

plush grail
#

atlanta is maybe just above the bottom teams

hot onyx
#

I had Scatlanta at 15th in my preseason rankings

plush grail
#

maybe a tier above paris, london and titans

magic imp
#

its cool that there have been a few 12 hero games already

#

varied meta 😮

balmy wolf
#

same tier with toronto

#

middle of the pack

plush grail
#

blizzard is for sure gonna fuck this up and buff tracer or orisa massively

#

some dumb shit

#

blizz should just not touch the game rn

#

it's balanced

balmy wolf
#

nerf bap but yeah

magic imp
#

is bap even that good in OWL tho

limber pine
#

uh yeah

balmy wolf
#

he makes you immortal

limber pine
#

just not played a lot in this meta

plush grail
#

he is good but still other supports see playtime

#

so its balanced imo

balmy wolf
#

he doesnt work with monkey

magic imp
#

yeah thats what I mean

balmy wolf
#

and dive is good

magic imp
#

good was probably wrong word, need nerf I guess

#

seen like every support used so far

limber pine
#

all 32 have been played at some point in a meaningful way

cursive plover
#

Idk if seeing sym actually being played makes me happy or confused

#

I love that everyone gets played

magic imp
#

I feel like the game is starting to get dota issues a bit where some chars are perfectly balanced in comp but either useless or OP in pubs tho

cursive plover
#

but at the same time I see sym mei or sym doom and just go wtf

plush grail
#

sym is just not fun to watch probably

plush grail
balmy wolf
#

symm is horrible

plush grail
#

u can force whatever in comp

#

and it would work

cursive plover
#

sym is fun to play as but watching her is kinda ????

plush grail
#

i could probably go genji in rush and it'd work

magic imp
#

idk there is some shit that works way better in OWL than in comp like tbh when was the last time you were like "thank god we have a ball"

plush grail
#

thats because comp is overwatch minus all the teamwork

cursive plover
plush grail
#

if balls doesn't call his slams or mines

#

he's useless

#

if he does call them, he's probably doing well

magic imp
#

ye I feel like it just makes tanks hard to balance

#

buff them so that people actually play them in comp and OWL gets fooked

This opening weekend has been very interesting though

limber pine

@real iris please spoiler things the day after the matches

balmy wolf
#

i would have lost my marbles

limber pine
#

it has not been 24 hours

#

so yes, please spoiler things

balmy wolf
#

hmm i wouldnt go to discord and the esport channel before checking the matches but ok

#
  • you do see the live reactions people had
limber pine
#

well, yes, but the rules still exists

balmy wolf
#

so idk how he could spoil anything

#

lol

#

i can write while its happening but not after

#

interesting

limber pine
#

well yes

#

cuz it's happening

#

?

tropic herald
#

It might be worthwhile to do a match discussion, for live reactions, I know r/cow does that and it makes it really easy to not spoil or be spoiled

balmy wolf
#

isnt it cooler to talk about recent events while they are still new

#

instead of waiting a day while pretending it didnt happen

cursive plover
#

Are we really stuck on a rule that makes complete sense? Just spoiler things for the first 24 hours. You can still talk about it just don't spoil it for the people who really want to see for themselves

balmy wolf
#

yeah ig

sullen berry
#

Just learn how to use spoiler tags, dummy

#

Though I'll admit I must have broken this rule to death last year

plush grail

Just watch the games live 5head

Spark right?

Ohh

hot onyx

Pajion is Spark

plush grail

Yeah they're garbage

devout path

Crusty is like high or something when coaching the shock this season

plush grail
#

He really is

next mesa
#

Hee always is

#

So

#

That's the secret

#

Not high enough

#

Crusty needs to get more weed

plush grail
#

He put striker, nero, taiyo and violet on cree all in 1 game

hot onyx
#

They should’ve done better then

#

Smh washed players go again next year

plush grail
#

I'm pretty sure

#

Almost half of the shock roster

#

Has been on cree

#

Every dps and violet

hot onyx
#

Keep in mind it’s not all the dps

#

Super got hard MTDed

#

Viol2t and FdGod were further forward than the rest of their team

plush grail
#

Yeah idk what the fuck

#

Violet and fdgod were doing either

hot onyx
#

Viol2t is washing up like Jjonak

plush grail
#

Legit only choi and smurf

#

Were playing normal

devout path
#

Smurf rein

#

Lol

plush grail
#

The dps were doing the play ur non comfort pick challenge

#

And the supports were trying to out feed eachother

devout path
#

Why was striker not on tracer like ever

hot onyx
#

Should’ve sold your Viol2t stocks when you had the chance

plush grail
mortal abyss
#

Buy alarm stocks

devout path
#

I’ll tell you rn I can almost garuntee it’s Houston putting a ton of pressure on him

hot onyx
devout path
#

Actually cracked zen

plush grail
#

Buy mano stocks

devout path
#

No

plush grail
#

He smiled again

devout path
#

Buy Boston stocks

plush grail
#

That was legit a mvp level performance by happy

hot onyx
#

Ah yes Stand1 > Mano

plush grail
#

Rest of the team was good but happy was legit crazy

devout path
#

Yeah happy kinda popped off

plush grail

Boston fan omegalul

hot onyx
# devout path True

If Lori can pull off an absolute Moon/Crusty level masterclass with that guy I’ll eat my words in the form of alphabet soup

earnest leaf
#

Viol2t had one bad game

#

And it took happy playing out of his mind to punish viol2t

devout path
#

Took more than that

hot onyx
#

This season for Boston is a building season until they can sign Proper and Someone

devout path
#

Danteh and piggy too

plush grail
#

Jake still cracked too

devout path
#

Jake just great for comms

worn falcon
#

Jake brig

hot onyx
#

Jake Ball

plush grail
#

Having jake as shot caller must be amazing

earnest leaf
#

Smh shock should of perma forced striker nero super choi viol2t fdgod

#

Rush mirror and roll outlaws

devout path
#

That just wouldn’t have worked

worn falcon
#

last match, running smurf on rein

#

instead orisa sigma

earnest leaf
#

That lineup won the 2 maps and drew once

hot onyx
#

Having Super and season 4 Viol2t on your starting lineup is suicide

devout path
hot onyx
#

They did what they could and lost

devout path
#

I think they lost cuz they don’t know how to use their dps players yet imo

digital cloud
#

Probably Shock forcing the A team would have won

worn falcon
#

See, thats why i dont trust communities where many saying Muze was cracked, instead we got JJangu

digital cloud
#

But I still think Houston did pretty good

plush grail
#

Also I really wanna know why striker cried when they lost, I hope it's just because he's tired or something and not that the pressure from coaching is that high

digital cloud
#

I mean, it was the outlaws

#

That has gotta sting a little

worn falcon
#

and they were the 2 champions

#

every shock player was frustrated

hot onyx
#

He cried because it means he gets less cash for his pool of money

devout path
#

I think the stress to perform well got to him

worn falcon
#

Ta1yo, Super malding, Striker

ok so I have wondered, people say pine widow was nuts way back

#

but how does it stack up to modern widow gods like diem

#

is it the same tier or has the game changed so much it doesn't even compare

#

I didn't really watch a lot that far back

next mesa
#

it doesnt compare

#

well

#

pine lost to nenne

#

and then nenne lost to diem

tawdry hamlet
next mesa
#

so it didnt compare back then either

#

Pine would lose to most decent widow players in the league now

Iirc he was flashy but inconsistent

pine wasn't that strong as widow, like carpe or other widow cracks. i dont udnerstand why his name is being even mentioned as widow crack
