Don't see a reason to pick up Chinese players and not use them
what
Was talking about Spark
Is GaeBullSsi not in the Uprising team house yet?
Because idk what good reason they would have for benching the best off tank coming out of kr contenders for Punk
still in korea i think
Sadge
Who wins charge vs valiant?
valiant
I am leaning towards charge
apac toilet bowl tbh
charge as well
tbh i want valiant to win
so i can finally tell all those eileen fanboys to fuck off
Leaved YAB monday, not enough time to rebuild something rly competitive imo, LFT and working hard to comeback in OWL.
Thanks to all the staff from YAB who makes T2 entertaining and ofc thx to the coaches managers and my ex mates, wish u the best. https://t.co/DmLS3oqpp0

what if
benbest back to paris
nah, I don't think he is
Probably London
Benbest outlaws
No need for him to go to Outlaws when they already have Jjangu
mer1t doesnt rl impress me
what does that have to do with benbest glads
Benbest better
Benbest better then jjangu?
so, thoughts on whether or not washington ends up being the highest seed?
easy schedule so pretty likely
also, who do we think is currently the best of the rookie mts out of muze, gaga, mag, and jjanggu
gaga
and maybe other rookies I haven't thought of
I would say gaga as well, but jjanggu has impressed me
Apparently he had testicular torsion
Felt like shit, ended up going to the hospital, was caught early so he'll be ok
i hate this chat and i hate this server
everything okay buddy?
imagine having this roster and not being able to beat anyone
ouch
yeah anything testicle related fucking hurts
oops
thats huge
is he from runaway?
pajion is ass
he was on ATL last year
sheeeeeeeeeeeeeesh
ye wasn't trying to make light of it
it just kind of fit given recent events
i.e. outlaws being good now
Yes we get the joke
on point: Glad the spark did something quickly so they have plenty of time to turn it around
atlanta coach lol
have they already had four games?
spark boomed
2
so maybe if they get a good enough turn around they can make it?
they're prolly still gonna be meh next week
i dont see them going from shit to good with 1 week of coaching
seems unlikely but at least they caught pajion early
shanghai and guangzhou this week
paijon was runaway coach right
I think someone mentioned he was on atl too
nah that's mentalist
ah, thought it was in response to pajion
I think I recall him being related to runaway
weren't there rumors that the titans and runaway pretty much just coached themselves
yes
though I have heard other people say that harsha tried very hard to converse with them
and that the players attempted to end up with him later
though I wonder if that is true why none ended up on houston
well, harsha did say he had no control over who houston picked up as well iirc
No one will understand, but we practiced harder than anyone else and we will continue to do so. This time it's different.
2742
well, what I remember is that flame hated contenders players
@devout path give u a bit of hope
let's just pick up random veterans and hope they mesh well
she has given up
so if titans really did want to stick with harsha, I wonder why it wouldn't happen
maybe houston stigma too strong
speaking of that, seeing houston this year
kinda makes me think they could've held on to mek0
like, piggy is good, don't get me wrong
my guess is that they wanted a tank duo with prior experience playing together
but I wonder why they didn't want to keep him
I get that too, but you could have mek0 too
so I am curious as to why they would just want the two
would just rather take the whole tankline
u want ideally ur tank partners to b e permenant
seems ow teams are prioritizing smaller teams now though
LOL just won a 5v6, thats when you know when a teams just straight up better
yes, that is true about tanklines
In comp
just lost a 5v6 😎
but I think shock is a demonstration of a team where it works, for instance
^just being happy i stopped playing ow
atlanta 
?
:)
maybe
keep dreaming
they have to play shock yes?
delusional
and shock is worse at dive
how so?
I had hope for atlanta too this year
right up until I realized coaching was the same
then my hope was crushed like a grape
brad >crusty
my god
les goo
he means it
no frikin way i mean it
he's too delusional to be kept alive
coaching is the only thing holding my team back
that and gator
and masaa brig
wrong
not wrong
wrong
Gator isn't really their problem
I am just parroting what other people say
I am of the opinion hawk and gator would be fine sans sephy
and the rest of atlanta's merry band of bad coaches
gator played incredibilly well for going against oge and sado on monke
who
monke
andante and mentalist for spark?
so it seems
im in for the unter stonks
he tells them how to play poke and dive
brought valiant the stonks too last year
paJion was old vanc, andante new vanc
noru was runaway and gen.g
let see how it goes for spark
hmmmm
Can confirm
Houston is a better team than Atlanta
ez win
Houston had to super prepare, and shock played like bots
Happy had to slam his cock on shock as well
shock will prepare for mayhem more
more like Houston punished their tendencies
shock tried to play like they normally do
Prepare for mayhem more cuz atl bad
just that shock losing to houston gives atlanta a better chance imo than otherwise
but shock ez win most likely
90% yes
but 10% hopium
what if
mayhem toronto and atlanta are much better than houston shock and dallas
they havent played each other
like two divisions
only titans played other teams
Nah
i dont think crusty makes that mistake
Shock will beat both I think
yeh mayhem rush bad
3-1 shock
super said on stream, "mayhem ez 3-0"
comes down to map pool honestly
I mean Atlanta got reversed sweeped by Toronto in week 1 I think
oh really
did he say houston ez 3-0 aswell
toronto needs to get rolled 3-0 twice so glads can make it to may melee
Is this implying what got him ill? did he get kicked in the balls or attacked by a hamster?
oh
found a twitlonger
testicular torsion
lol
TwitLonger is the easy way to post more than 140 characters to Twitter
anyway, I think Houston has played enough teams that, at least in this meta, we can confidently put them above any team but shock or washington
maybe Dallas makes it in there too
I would agree as well, but I don't want to be overconfident
and justice did beat dallas, I think
which I would rate pretty well
Dallas is too exploitable with their dps lineup
Hopefully once they get a hitscan things iron out better
Honestly I rate M1KA a lot higher than IDK
is contenders on the new patch?
dont think so
Unpopular opinion: genji is almost as bad as widow
in terms of?
I don't even wanna acknowledge how dogshit that opinion is
that one is unpopular for a reason big guy
so hangzhou didn't work out and they just drop them like that?
this was quicker then when titans fall apart
hmmmmmmm
Genji is just for emo kids
widow is ass
MCD was kinda popping
His tranqs where as fast if not faster than jjonak and mmonk
so according to that post bernar is still their right?
yeah but LiGes going to get more time
But they still have 3 korean dps
and 1 chinese one
lige should get more time considering how hyped everyone was about him
and takoyaki leaving means that they brought him as a sub for guxue
and the rest of the team didnt like that
chengdu get lige gg
Elsa has been looking really good
To get lige they would have to drop someone of their roster
It’s because Mano is so low resource that alarm and tobi can put more into carpe ( like nano) letting him pop off
philly just play around the fact that Mano is passive rather then trying to force him to be aggressive which he wasn’t comfortable with meaning everyone was out of position
not at all
its because when they play rush
they body everyone
noone plays rush in apac
so if they play a rush map they straight up dominate
not hard if you play rush on havana against chengdu
That was just against chengdu tbh,
Daan also played almost entirely Rein no? While Mano plays a lot of WB?
And chengdu are very weak on rush
just like oge who literally played 1 map rein
Nvm I messed the stat up 😆
oh I didn't read the chart correctly
and got shit on
One sec
ooof muze tho
mag?
cant wait to see smurf play
stats are unreal
mag very nice
Mag looked very very good but fearless looked better
fearless more flashy
nothing against mag
dallas plays around him
nah nah lowkey like
u think a fight is lost for dallas
but fearless just kills 3 with primal in the backline
they put everything into fearless
shittttttt
yeah like they should
this is not enough healing
20k healing
fielder do better
fearless alive anything is possible bro
true that
just feel like dallas should stick to fielder
rapel isnt bad though
just like
fielder
rapel ana better
idk they dont play much zen iirc
idk why dallas choose to play fielder lucio on havanna
like
is jecse's brig that bad?
yes
i think they ran fielder ana on volskaya cause they also wanted to run moira on that map and fielder has a better moira then rapel
fielder i think also has a better ana then rapel
so fielder is better on everything?
kinda, yeah
I think rapel has a better zen
depends if u value the synergy between him and rapel ig
jecse*
Rapel must have something in his contract that demands he is subbed in and out constantly
Remember him on outlaws?
Him and rawkus circled in and out every map
man wants to be played
Please
I want Boston to do something
At least a game off Washington
Jjanggu bumper under new name
they have similar smiles
ik that there is a stigma that all asian people look the same (an utterly false one, mind you), but for real, they do look pretty similar.
yeah the smile
I mean, they look distinct but the smile is very similar
the maniacal aspect, if you will
jjanggu definitely looks crazier though
5 and 6 man shatter*
Could’ve been neither
Boston > Paris
who is the one coping
I miss bumper
No I just miss bumper
stfu
Proof Boston > Paris
Vs myunbong?
Myunbong > kaan
and yet paris is still bad
Boston has to play the glads and the fuel
Still bad
Boston is bad but less bad than Paris
We'll see
Keep your hopes high
That way it'll be more fun when they go 3-0 to paris
Also that graph has very biased stats
Imagine having a local team
I also like smurf but super is my mortal enemy
Shock overrated glads outdated long have we awaited Houston activated
tfw insecure because accent and monotone
Worst team so far
Smh vip vc then
Houston are ranked last
doesn't change anything
Proof is in the rankings
Also I legit might miss paris game this week
Someone coming over
So no shit posts from me
Awwww are you nervous talking to me?
Wat
Or are you scared that Paris will lose
Paris are better than Houston
I don’t like talking to ppl in vc
Then use sign language
Bet
It’s either we both talk or neither talk smh
It would be disgusting if Boston loses to Paris, it is literally their game to lose they have all the advantages there roster wise if an eu contenders roster beats boston I'd give up all hope 
Eu > Na
If Boston loses to Paris I will literally leave the server
America lacks the Scandinavian power
Scandinavian gaming power stonks
We don't talk about eu main tanks 👍
At least eu has reinhardt players, just a shame that's all they have 
Also if people join the owl vc I'll also join this weekend
They have balls too ig
I don’t join the owl vc i just watch the games in vip vc 2 so I don’t have to deal with randoms smh
I have balls?? 😳
No
Well it is ok na only has beast winston so it can't be that bad 
Only eu people have balls
Then congrats u have balls
Nice
Non refundable btw
Cope
Too bad no one ever joins me except like drapo
L
Talking to a boston fan is tiring
Smh
Talking to an analyst is tiring
That’s why no one vcs with me nowadays
People watch owl too casually smh
I just wanna shit talk people tbh
Bad
It's fun
9/10 meme
London performed so abysmally that they somehow have less points than Charge
Good shit
Yeah London is so garbage
arent you suppose to watch owl casually?
Still funny how people expected paris to be the worst EU team
But as of rn paris look a lot better than london
No I analyze owl smh
Analyze boston losing
At that point I'd legit give up
If London beats Boston I give up on Boston
London literally can lose to titans
bing bong valiant down
how is paris above shanghai?
Math
paris is 4-4
shanghai is 4-3-1
but that math makes no sense
how is losing a map better then drawing
Shanghai shat themselves in their loss
Paris slightly shat themselves
Why
No one knows why lol
Does this mean eu > apac
Shanghai is 3-3 by the way
The ai has its own factors
No
The ties don’t do anything
So yes?
EU worst major region
Wrong
one has 1 more map win
AU exists
regardless
Australia don’t count
Australia is literally a continent
So is South America
And Antarctica
i was just gonna say that
Where tf is the Inuit representation wtf
you took my continent
Actually wait inuit people are from the Arctic aren't they
they're northern, not southern
So arctic
well both are arctic
Pretty sure arctic is just the North
antARCTICa
Are bike and motorbike the same thing
they are both forms of bikes. does make then the same. the north pol and antarctica, sure, aren't the same, but just because 2 things aren't identical doesn't mean they don't share characteristics
So explain how that makes them both the arctic??
I'd imagine the scientific name for a location wouldn't falsely contain the word "arctic"
Who are you?
Mitosis and meiosis are different 'scientific' terms, why do they both contain the word 'osis'
Wow ok :(
Arctic
[ˈärktik, ˈärdik]
ADJECTIVE
relating to the regions around the North Pole.
"an Arctic explorer"
synonyms:
polar · far northern · northern · northerly · boreal · hyperborean
informal
(of weather conditions) very cold.
synonyms:
(bitterly) cold · intensely cold · frosty · wintry · freezing · frigid · frozen · icy · [more]
ok so your definition is right, although the informal definition pertains somewhat to it as well
Boston SIMP
So excited to work through the data this year!
A quick thread on first impressions from the stats lab in our opening weekend (1/4):
here's the thread everyone got those statistics from
"decay overrated and overhyped" hmm
to be fair their matches were eh
like wowzas they beat the team without a hitscan and the vancouver titans
In their defense tho that team without a hitscan literally has the second one on the list lmao
yea hes really grinding it
Surprised me at least
What's even stranger is even with Xzi they'd still need sparkle tracer so all this would do is force doha off cree or hanzo where's he has actually not been that bad, idk just seems like even without Xzi dallas performance was about as good as I'd expect or like close enough being in that 3-4 na spot
Like I'd call the houston game a fluke but houston is 4-0 so it's hard to say it is
I wonder if their hitscan will have a tracer or not since sparkle honestly I think has it covered
Still can't believe they haven't found a replacement though tf
I guess it's because they need to be korean but still
Most teams find emergency subs and shit fast af
Korean and in na
They’ll probs get one after qualifiers or may melee
les go rakattack mom and sister in da yt chat 
today is rakattacks mom's birthday
Rhino has absolutely fucked Jishua so hard rn lmao
literally hit like 3 different fat ass shatters that round
just need to take korean lessons so i can play for the fuel
lol dalton is above architect in IBM power rankings
granted, dalton is 99 and arch is 100
but still
dolton very streaky
dalton god gamer especially that time when he mcree'd onigod on hanamura and hit every shot
can you imagine dalton on a good team?
yo what happened to this owl man
last time i followed the league, shanghai dragons was like 0-20
lol
now they were in the finals wtf??
got some nice rookies, and slowly built up a better roster, and got a great coach
well all the chinese players kinda sucked
all the non koreans sucked lmao
not fully true
lol
all my fav players on there
they were both pitiful there
cause xqc and shit
then seoul went on to like 20-0
lmao
what happened here man...
they didn't do that well
so different
they went even
oh
they missed all 4 stage playoffs
yeah i stopped watching after like 3 weeks
damn
they made it to the grand finals last season
how many seasons have there been
lmao
so 4 years huh?
more or less
damn
covid has moved the schedule around a lot
np lol
i miss this game
yeah
can shock 3 peat
houston are clowning on everyone
will happy and jjangu boost outlaws to #1 na
holy fuck
JJANGGU JJANU
will glads perform with expectations under dpei
i just remembered i had the 2018-19 overwatch league book
with support JJonak
shit ima look at that
what other players start with J
also named jjonak
Xu "Lux" Kunbin is a Chinese player that recently played for LGD Gaming.
chad
hey!
he changed his name
what happened to ryujehong
JJANGGU JJANU Jerry Jinmu Jake Jimmy Jecse Jjonak
Kaan Kariv Kellex
jehong
he was like the best in seoul
jehong
he went to a new OWL team
which team
he requested
that team had a weird situation
to go join titans
Vancouver titans
he wanted to chase that chip
they "imploded"
wtf
dropped all players
he took a year off
joined seoul's parent company and became a content creator
got drunk
who
the titans
it seems like now jehong is slowly getting back
hes been costreaming dynasty matches and stuff
hes making a lot of content for kr owl
SHIT LMAOAO
u get
i remember when everyone cheered for them cause they sucked
https://twitter.com/VancouverTitans/status/1258094986530193409
this is what happened
except it was much worse. cause they made it seem nice
ok
when was this?
oh
may 6th 2020
cause the higher ups in the org that owned the titans pissed of the players and coaches
also wdym much worse
well yknow how whenever something bad happens to a company
they were pissed off from the players or they pissed the players off
ahh
ahhh
so eventually
wiat what
they just did this
well
there was a disconnect between the players coaches and higher ups
didnt respect like korean
oh
they got a bunch of NA contenders players (tier 2 overwatch)
the legendary runaway team
shit
was disbanded
really sucked
man
some retired
what happened to overwatch
it was all fun and games the first season
the players who left went around the league to other teams
lol i still have to ask this but
well this was an outlier event
only people still have a team?
xqc got banned from owl right
yes
haahaaha
he didn't get outright banned
suspended at first
he did something
but he did a lotta stupid stuff
i forgot what
multiple occasions
yeah
muma
and temporarily got suspended
he got suspended like his 3rd game lmao
dallas fuel eventually went "you're too much trouble pal, you're gone"
not really worried about him
and terminated him
yes
lol im fine
what happened to spitfire
HUH
dropped them
no after s2 they did
sold the players
oh
when they finished in a mediocre place
basically
but the manager and coaches were the same?
some coaches stayed
so they basically rage quit after a bad season
idk about manager
the team wasnt really working out
yeah ik i meant like after doing bad
k
spitfire?
2nd last in there division
titans
shit
titans played 4 matches
lost all 4
spitfire have played 2
lost both 3-0
so theoretically, they could do worse
it took 2 seasons
they dropped all players except for diya, geguri, and fearless
diya and fear went on 2 way contracts to the academy team
so they could train
s2
ok
but its not a fair comparison
anyways
they signed the core of a good contenders roster, and rounded it out with some other good players
they ended up winning stage 3 of season 2
due to a good meta
its one of my favourite ones
Academy teams are tier 2 
ok
ATL Academy be like: 
they dropped some poor players, kept some good ones.
got fleta
With open division being t3 and overwatch league being t1 
the promoted fearless again to the main roster
got void
got izayaki
named moon
got moon
yeah
ohh
to shanghai
TLDR: they promoted a bunch of players, signed a bunch of good ones, and popped off
fleta won MVP as well
frdwnr for mvp this year

What's absolutely scuffed is looking at map standings and seeing the titans at 4-12 to Boston's London and GZ 0

paris above shanghai ofc

????
at least we're winning games
still took a map off houston
ngl im so hyped for atl - paris
houston did not have danteh for the entire game vs london
prob a sweep but still
still took a map 😎
yeah champs
above shanghai :)
shanghai OMEGALUL
So of dragons stop trolling you think they will still be top 2?
Or is it all chengdu philly now
ngl kaan is statistically the best fs in owl
Iris
so bad i forgot he existed lmao
gator hawk
thursday
