After busting out Houston they lost to Atlanta 3-1 or 3-0

tawdry hamlet
#

Really just wanna see him play ashe in owl, he never gets to and it's like his best hero unironically

hot onyx
#

Could see it if Titans don’t drop another player and replace him with a different guy who is better than them in every shape and form

#

Boston due to play them in the Summer Showdown and Countdown Cup

#

So maybe Chex Punk and Fusions

tawdry hamlet
#

The dynamic trio

hot onyx
#

Toilet Bowl Dream Team

#

Could see it if rush becomes meta again

tawdry hamlet
#

Last year thinking about how they had those three, a contenders/collegiate champ main support who's really only owl level at lucio, and Jerry and myun

#

What a roster

#

Idek if halo was owl level at lucio but he was slaying ass with him at collegiate champs in rush meta

hot onyx
#

Yeah but that’s just western players being rush one tricks

tawdry hamlet
#

Loll western players just can't flex I swear idk why

#

Shax, danteh off echo tracer, Agilities off genji,

#

Fusions off rein lmao

hot onyx
#

Super off rein/genji

tawdry hamlet
#

Who all does kevster play

hot onyx
#

Tracer

#

Genji

tawdry hamlet
#

Loll

hot onyx
#

Echo?

tawdry hamlet
#

His Mei just kind of exists

#

That diem video so sad, it's still in my head reading his letter 😭

hot onyx
#

Unless your name is Ivy Rascal Fleta or Yaki that’s really all mei does

#

Yeah I know I was a bit of a “Diem Doomer” but I didn’t want the chap to retire

tawdry hamlet
#

I wonder if he felt bad he was starting to slip a little from last year to the point lip was just played over him

hot onyx
#

Dude it takes a lot to be played instead of Lip, he shouldn’t feel bad if that’s the case

tawdry hamlet
#

I wonder if I adjust my Pickems or not

#

Lip is literally just Heesu on steroids

hot onyx
#

I can think of about 3 hitscans in the league rn that could be played over Lip without the fans saying it’s a throw

tawdry hamlet
balmy wolf
#

i did

hot onyx
#

Marbel you fool

tawdry hamlet
#

Lip instead of diem when ashe becomes relevant 😭 😭 😭

balmy wolf
#

?

hot onyx
#

Now the results are going to be exactly what your initial pickems were

balmy wolf
#

not a fool just cool

tawdry hamlet
#

Me when I pick any team ever

hot onyx
#

We’ll see if you say that when I take your 40th place spot on the leaderboard

tawdry hamlet
#

I am going to put Boston over Paris and just because Paris is going to 3-2 them or some shit

balmy wolf
#

noooooo

#

actually was someone on this dc ever on the whole leaderboard?

hot onyx
#

I was 74th on the JJ leaderboard once

balmy wolf
#

huge

hot onyx
#

But then I asked my nan for preds and she convinced me to change my 3-2 Shock to 3-2 Dallas

balmy wolf
#

watch me throw away my lead with the team picks for playoffs

forest raven
#

I am simultaneously ahead and behind of all of you in the pick ems

hot onyx
#

That as well as boldly predicting Seoul losing to Nyxl and then coming back angry af and beating Shanghai dropped me down to around the 400 mark

balmy wolf
hot onyx
balmy wolf
#

bruh

#

florida

hot onyx
#

Florida beat Shanghai 4-2 let’s go

balmy wolf
#

kinda deserved

hot onyx
balmy wolf
#

what a braindead pick

plush grail
#

stfu atlanta fan

hot onyx
#

But OGE stonks through the roof

balmy wolf
#

but i only hear bullshit

hot onyx
#

Hey remember when Atlanta beat Paris?

balmy wolf
#

coincidence?

#

i think not

balmy wolf
forest raven
#

A paris fan telling an atlanta fan to stfu is like the six year old telling the five year old to give them their toys because they're older OMEGALUL

balmy wolf
#

when the brainlet was quiet

balmy wolf
plush grail
#

no im pretty sure i wasnt here when atlanta played paris

#

i was chilling with a friend

hot onyx
#

Which time?

balmy wolf
#

i know that for sure

hot onyx
#

The May Melee defeat or the 2020 playoffs defeat?

forest raven
#

Meanwhile us Shock fans are enjoying fine dining with Element Mystic gachiRoll

tawdry hamlet
#

Being a top team fan is mad boring though

hot onyx
#

Or perhaps a loss in season 2?

forest raven
#

Not for me

hot onyx
tawdry hamlet
#

Can't wait to watch my team 3-0 a way worse team for the 15th week in a row of s3 go shock! OWLSanFranciscoShock

#

S3 shock matches were actually fun though because ans feelsteethman

forest raven
#

Shock also markets its players the best EZ

tawdry hamlet
#

Valiant turned a low tier dva one trick player into epic personality McGravy GAMERHANDSHAKE

hot onyx
#

S3 Shock was fun because Rascal

#

Seaweed meta

tawdry hamlet
#

Last year valiant were lowkey way better than they had any right to be, packing10 was a beast

plush grail
#

rip titans

tawdry hamlet
#

Kai and shax were the only top tier players on that team and they were managing top 5 in the league relatively consistently monkaS TSMC_charizard

forest raven
#

I'll always appreciate that valiant roster for making the glads collectively mald on twitter

tawdry hamlet
#

Last year's glads were painful 😖😣

plush grail
#

everybody point and laugh at sans

tawdry hamlet
#

Tbh any team that wasn't LAV Atlanta Paris Florida shock or fusion were painful last season

balmy wolf
forest raven
#

And Seoul right at the end

tawdry hamlet
#

I meant na but yeah dragons yep

little tusk
#

paris wins

tawdry hamlet
#

Nyxl was king of disappointment 😭 and Seoul was too inconsistent

#

The rest of apac just existed sometimes

hot onyx
forest raven
#

I cannot believe NYXL still has the same coaching staff

little tusk
#

I cannot believe NYXL actually beat Philly two weeks ago

tawdry hamlet
#

Gengu

#

Carpe and rascal both are pretty weak on genji TSMC_charizard and I'm pretty sure new York also did something different with meta

#

But I can't remember

hot onyx
#

Nyxl realised they needed to pull a 2019 Titans and coach themselves instead of letting dogshit tell them what to do Pachimari

#

But then they let IMT out of his cage again for the Charge and Seoul matches

tawdry hamlet
#

It's so weird to be in a meta where monkey gets melted im so used to monkey

#

Eh nah charge just played better that series imo

#

I watched custa vod review that series

#

A lot of fights Friday would pop valk way too early

#

Which would force his team to commit and then charge could capitalize

hot onyx
#

Don’t you dare smack talk Friday

#

Best ms in the league you just don’t know it yet

tawdry hamlet
#

I'm so hyped for a meta that charge can excel in, Kariv stonks have tanked and Mandu stonks don't exist so I'm hyped they can maybe have a shot

#

I hate charge support line why did they do that 😭 😭

hot onyx
#

Why am I the only person who unironically thought Mandu was an upgrade to Chara?

tawdry hamlet
#

Wait, charge are literally just the Apac Atlanta, stacked dps, tanks that aren't that great and meh supports that are passable lmao

forest raven
#

Did you just compare

#

Hawk

#

To Crong

hot onyx
#

I’m more disgusted about the comparison of Gator-Rio

forest raven
tawdry hamlet
#

Crong off of sigma is bad

balmy wolf
#

lol why

#

rio is ass

forest raven
#

Gator, the OWL main tank that can't play monkey

hot onyx
#

Gator is a hard inter yeah

#

But Rio is Rio

#

Don’t insult Gator like that

tawdry hamlet
#

Rio is an orisa one trick and crong is a sigma one trick, pretty much the same as atlanta tanks but dif heroes

balmy wolf
#

gator gets diffe on monkey bro

#

but hes not the only one

#

hes better than daan hadi and all these other inters

hot onyx
#

Imagine having Rio as your main tank and getting rid of Happy and Shu instead

tawdry hamlet
#

Atlanta tanks are able to cover most tanks but they are just so incredibly meh TSMC_charizard

forest raven
#

Really, the monkey players go Smurf >= Fearless >> Guxue >>> OGE >>>>>>> Everyone else

balmy wolf
#

he doesnt plkay monkey at a top level

forest raven
#

Ryujekong

tawdry hamlet
#

I wonder why oge didn't work on La he looks a lot better in florida

#

I mean Shaz biggoose isn't great but still

#

He looked abysmal in lag s3 vs S4 Florida

forest raven
#

Kuki > Dpei

hot onyx
tawdry hamlet
#

Also how TF did fate get his stonks high in Florida monkaS

willow tartan
#

who wins the 2021 widowmaker 1v1 tournament now...

forest raven
#

Surefour

tawdry hamlet
#

Happy vs Carpe apac final monkaS

forest raven
#

Dude

#

Surefour won the very first widow 1v1 and then he wasn't invited back for the second one

tawdry hamlet
#

Tragic

hot onyx
#

Letting someone else win

forest raven
#

Very Lane Roberts move

hot onyx
#

So wholesome

tawdry hamlet
#

Carpe probably would go farther in widow tourney if his first match wasn't diem 😭

willow tartan
#

who cares about shock threepeat, i wanted to see diem widowmaker 1v1 threepeat

hot onyx
#

Took Diem to the last round iirc

#

So was close

slow lodge
#

Didn'g Linkzr win the last one?

hot onyx
#

Linkzr won the NA one

willow tartan
#

it was split regional

slow lodge
#

Ah

willow tartan
#

Eastern had the real competition 😎

slow lodge
#

Who won apac

hot onyx
#

Diem

tawdry hamlet
#

That what was it like ten round series of ans vs diem camping the angle lmao

willow tartan
#

yeah the finals were poggers

hot onyx
#

Prime entertainment

willow tartan
#

remember the winston one

#

guxue >

hot onyx
#

Fearless Mano and Rio iirc

willow tartan
#

gesture

hot onyx
#

Gesture not Rio

willow tartan
#

wait so was that the reason diem wasnt playing, cuz he was gonna retire soon

hot onyx
#

Sorry my brain was flicking through the half decent apac teams and forgot about Seoul

#

Probably

#

Which is a shame because if Diem did play maybe Valiant would’ve taken a map

tawdry hamlet
#

they always do carpe so dirty with the first round diem matchup angerybongo

#

when ans has to face baconjack lmaoo

willow tartan
#

wait who was glister playing with last year

#

my mind blank

tawdry hamlet
#

London

sullen berry
#

British Hurricane

willow tartan
#

no wonder my brain didnt remember

sullen berry
hot onyx
#

Old and Bored

tawdry hamlet
#

meanwhile the na brackets were gross upsets

willow tartan
#

2020 london was ass the entire season

tawdry hamlet
#

I had shockwave vs KSP in the finals

#

tragic

willow tartan
#

ksp shat the bed

sullen berry
#

Dalton be linkzr was spicy

tawdry hamlet
#

Shockwave shit the bed, So0n just showed up to play lmao

sullen berry
#

Oni did too

#

He just didn’t expect to get that far

willow tartan
#

5-0

tawdry hamlet
#

it wasn't even a ping thing either because both shockwave and linkzr were in Europe at the time

willow tartan
#

maybe this time lip can take up the mantle :)

tawdry hamlet
#

So0n played tracer all season because of xzi then did all this lolll

#

was funni

ebon aurora
#

predictions for tonight?

sullen berry
#

Shockwave 2021 where he gets to play from EU

willow tartan
#

yes when will philly get their team bro

#

its already midway through the season and they still dont have their roster

#

and still better than most teams wtf...

ebon aurora
#

Boston-Paris and Dallas-Florida could both be good matches

#

is Vestola already with Paris?

willow tartan
#

Yes

sullen berry
willow tartan
#

vestola has to pop the fuck off

#

he's been with the team for like a day at this point

sullen berry
#

And by god is it a big play after seeing dridro slot in so well

#

Though to be fair Washington was making a lot of mistakes

#

Probably Boston and Mayhem wins?

#

3-0verwatch would be real good

tawdry hamlet
#

does vestola have high stonks?

willow tartan
#

im excited for the east matches

tawdry hamlet
#

he looks super meh

willow tartan
#

finally get to see a live match

#

actually poggers

ebon aurora
sullen berry
#

I think vestola can look great, but how is the question

sullen berry
#

I don’t always go for the majority pick, if I did then what’s the point of Pickens?

ebon aurora
#

true

hot onyx
#

I don’t either

willow tartan
#

if philly doesnt qualify again im gonna laugh

tawdry hamlet
#

man ex oblivione just hard sucked randomly in september and october lol that is weird I wonder what they did to their roster then

hot onyx
#

But at the same time if I’m predicting an upset it has to be a reasonable upset

willow tartan
#

what, like boston 6-0?

hot onyx
tawdry hamlet
#

if shanghai get third place in grand finals again I am going to really laugh, they are building up that second place rep just like fusion

willow tartan
#

shanghai's gonna win this year dude bro trust

hot onyx
#

I only trust in London to win

willow tartan
#

2020 didnt happen, hog meta was a fluke Sadge

#

cucked by blizzard

hot onyx
#

They did it in season 1 they’ll do it agajn

tawdry hamlet
#

cucked by only practicing one comp against far worse teams for an entire season and then having to switch it up for once

willow tartan
#

god... speaking of being cucked remember how the fusion performed in the finals

tawdry hamlet
#

the two times dive wasn't meta shanghai lost

#

summer showdown, and finals

willow tartan
#

whats gonna be meta during finals

hot onyx
#

Hey remember season 1

#

Funny

tawdry hamlet
#

remember shock at one point had architect

#

wild how covid made him go from popular guy

#

to 4am guy sometimes remembered

willow tartan
#

whats wrong with architect

#

he was good on hz last year

hot onyx
#

wheeze

tawdry hamlet
#

I feel like covid as a whole made the apac teams that weren't at the very top fade into obscurity

#

probably only saying that because I am NA and nobody gives a shit in my region about apac since it airs at like 3am

willow tartan
#

east > west

tawdry hamlet
#

but lack of homestands made it feel like the regions were two different worlds and the players were on two different plains of existence

willow tartan
#

too many teams to keep track of in west

#

idk how you guys do it

hot onyx
#

Oh no not an extra 4 teams

willow tartan
#

hey bro

#

that's like at least

tawdry hamlet
#

it is pretty easy when you realize those extra 4 teams in the west are all dog ass

willow tartan
#

24 more players to remember

tawdry hamlet
#

so you don't have to keep up with them

hot onyx
#

Plus coaches and behind the scenes staff

tawdry hamlet
#

diem leaving has once again reminded me owl is dying a slow death

willow tartan
#

everyone dies

tawdry hamlet
#

thinking about that a lot recently how about half the players that were here when I started watching a lot last june are gone loll

hot onyx
willow tartan
#

yeah but we got a lot of new players this szn

tawdry hamlet
#

Babybay was atlanta's starting hitscan when I starting watching a lot loll

hot onyx
#

Babybay Danteh starting dps for Shock

#

Back when they were good

balmy wolf
#

still good wdym

hot onyx
#

Shock washed

#

The Dallas win was just a fluke

#

Viol2t played the only hero he’s good at

#

Moira

tawdry hamlet
#

I like to just play the guessing game and pick knockouts before last matches

#

I went with shanghai, hz, shock, fuel, for knockouts since they are only worth like 6 points anyway so here is to hoping I am right lmao

plush grail
#

paris not winning in ur preds?

#

blocked

tawdry hamlet
#

wish I went with gz lowkey though

#

since meta favors them

#

but I went with hz

hot onyx
tawdry hamlet
#

I have no faith in seoul or philly unfortunately

#

and chengdu is just chengduing

#

nyxl also exists I guess

#

but doubt they make it past knockouts

hot onyx
#

If Seoul continues the hog shit with Marve1 off tanking they’re never gonna get anywhere

#

Philly is gonna have a ton of practise

tawdry hamlet
#

tbh, I want to say boston or someone goes through but I know in knockouts their chances of beating shock or dallas are so low

#

despite their success

#

thus far

hot onyx
#

NineK will have belted Carpe and Rascal and told them it’d happen again if they didn’t get those sweet 3-0’s

plush grail
#

i remember marve1 being a solid af sigma

tawdry hamlet
#

I would have put philly through if eqo had gotten his visa a month ago

#

but he didn't

#

so I put them low

hot onyx
#

Doubter

plush grail
#

WOW SOMEONE WHO RATES EQO???/

tawdry hamlet
#

I rate eqo genji far higher than carpe or rascal genji

hot onyx
#

Reasonable

tawdry hamlet
#

and eqo hanzo hopefully better than carpe lmao

#

carpe last game on hanzo was

hot onyx
#

I never want to see Carpe play hanzo again for as long as I live

tawdry hamlet
#

and genji

#

lmao

#

they already had rascal on echo but meta shifted towards genji so they said

#

fuck it

#

carpe genji

#

loll

hot onyx
#

Genji was just a fluke attempt at building a blade, likely won’t happen again unless it’s trolling for a showmatch

#

But I don’t ever want to see Carpe touch hanzo even in his ranked games

#

Shit was tragic in playoffs and even worse against Nyxl and Hunters

tawdry hamlet
#

also picking up rascal so late making the pickup of shockwave useless was annoying because the funds they put into shockwave could have been used on their tank line

#

if they had a better tankline they could be number 1 or 2 in the world imo

#

poko hotba doesn't inspire me though

willow tartan
#

what you mean shockwave useless

#

shockwave poggers

tawdry hamlet
#

yeah but when your roster has carpe eqo rascal you don't need him is what I meant

#

since they cover every hero he does

willow tartan
#

yes....

plush grail
#

poko hotba is good tho

willow tartan
#

4 dps is too many

vagrant cargo
#

Vestola is a FAT pickup

tawdry hamlet
#

if they saved money and somehow kept fury angerybongo

#

they would be so fucking good rn

vagrant cargo
#

Kinda surprised paris were willing to pay a buyout

plush grail
#

he looks BOOMED

vagrant cargo
#

I think

tawdry hamlet
#

sado and heesu went with the coach man, idk what they got for fury though

vagrant cargo
#

Like philly has a ton of money

#

Also shockwave is their second best tracer

forest raven
#

Philly is owned by comcast

#

They have fuck you money

vagrant cargo
#

Like shockwave is a crazy good pick for widow tracer etc

#

Also hes their best sombra too i think

tawdry hamlet
#

in the small chances of double hitscan yeah shockwave is useful but with rascal and how good echo is how useful can he really be

hot onyx
#

If sHockWave is better sombra than Heesu I will cream

plush grail
#

sans who is ur fav team

#

fusion right

hot onyx
plush grail
tawdry hamlet
#

I mean I love shockwave regardless, just sad to see another top player rot on a fuck you money teams bench

#

twilight moment

willow tartan
#

cough rappel

vagrant cargo
hot onyx
vagrant cargo
#

Eternal w vestola are a lot better

willow tartan
#

decay actually benched as well wtf

vagrant cargo
#

Their only weak player now is daan

tawdry hamlet
#

decay is good on other hitscans, but jerry has improved a lot on sniper and tracer was banned and mag played like ass

#

so it makes sense he was benched tbf

willow tartan
#

daan pro gamer

vagrant cargo
plush grail
#

he is overrated

vagrant cargo
#

I saw like ONE dude saying that pre season

#

And sticking to it

vagrant cargo
plush grail
#

im pretty sure ive said that in the pre-season too

vagrant cargo
#

But its funny how everyone wants to get the credit now

willow tartan
#

wj as a whole was overrated

tawdry hamlet
#

He hasn't had a chance to do anything besides Mccree and tracer, if you watched his pop off moments last season you would probably have overrated him too Salutations

vagrant cargo
#

I dont know that luigi but if u did props 2 u

hot onyx
tawdry hamlet
#

I mean I hard overrated Decay because when he popped last season he was insane Salutations

forest raven
#

What if Decay's just like, an asshole

tawdry hamlet
#

rialto widow aPES_Hmmm

forest raven
#

And that's why he gets benched or benches himself

plush grail
#

gets hyped as this dps god, never really performs well, only when the justice pump him full he can win stuff

tawdry hamlet
#

he performed well, then switched to a full time tracer player 😦

plush grail
#

also ur all gonna look like clowns when EQO gets to apac

willow tartan
#

wj playoff run is cursed

plush grail
#

and benches rascal

tawdry hamlet
#

meh, why, he is going to play the genji over rascal most likely

forest raven
#

I mean Rascal's echo was not up to snuff

willow tartan
#

i have no memory of eqo ever playing echo

vagrant cargo
#

I mean

#

I can see EQO bench rascal

willow tartan
#

def

vagrant cargo
#

If rascal stays underperforming

#

But if rascal is back to prime.and performs like he did on illios

#

Playing eqo would be a throw for several reasons

#

He isnt better on any hero and he ruins full kr comms

tawdry hamlet
#

tbh, I don't think certain players were overrated so much as losing the team around them made them look so much worse, Sado and Decay and Fury and Fate being examples

vagrant cargo
#

Also fusions playstyle leaves rascal with no ressources

tawdry hamlet
#

well not really decay

vagrant cargo
#

For example he has the least healing received out of any echo

tawdry hamlet
#

he had no team around him on both dallas and wj until now

#

he just hasn't performed lmao

vagrant cargo
#

Also neither sado nor fury are much worse

#

Fury has been justices best player imo

#

Ssdo is fucked because no backline

#

Lastro asj are playing like shit rn

willow tartan
#

healing received is a stat?

#

where do i look mine up

tawdry hamlet
#

I was super hyped for assassin and valentine and they both are just like

#

existing

willow tartan
#

i swear my healing received on widowmaker is -2000 per 10

tawdry hamlet
#

Naga hard gapped assassin last series though I presume that is because the supports were focused on mags feeding lmao

vagrant cargo
#

Valentine is poundinh

#

I always considered assassin overrated but he has outdone my expectations

willow tartan
#

wy guys think of faith so far

vagrant cargo
#

Best MS

#

unironically

#

Faith is super good

willow tartan
#

in NA?

vagrant cargo
#

Yeah

#

I can also see leaguewide

tawdry hamlet
#

Valentine got fucked like every series besides last week wym

willow tartan
#

i mean actually yeah

vagrant cargo
#

valentine only got fucked by kevster

willow tartan
#

been playing good

vagrant cargo
#

Faith also has no weak heros

#

And no monkey brain LJG moments

plush grail
#

still crazy how a team of contendies rookies and owl scraps could beat the well established justice roster

willow tartan
#

pew pew moth moment

vagrant cargo
#

I mean lori gap

willow tartan
#

feedgod moment

#

why are all the top main supports stupid

tawdry hamlet
#

because the only way to have fun on support is to go for feed plays

#

loll

vagrant cargo
#

I mean fdgod isnt stupid

#

He looked rough early on

willow tartan
#

not stupid i mean you know

vagrant cargo
#

But seems to bounce back

#

Yeah i get it

#

I think in may melee closer and tobi looked excellent

tawdry hamlet
#

he just has that lucio brain where you need to push even if it isn't in the best interest of the team you must do it Salutations

willow tartan
#

W+M1

vagrant cargo
#

Anyways

#

Wanna know a hot take

#

That might be biased

tawdry hamlet
#

tobi got to play mercy of course he was going to look excellent Salutations

willow tartan
#

fdgod was lapping jecse though during the fuel v shock match

hot onyx
#

I wanna know the hot take

vagrant cargo
#

But i think MuZe has so far looked better than mag in total

vagrant cargo
hot onyx
vagrant cargo
#

Idk im uded to ppl underrating MuZe quite hard

tawdry hamlet
#

mag popped at the start but once monkey wasn't working florida and paris rolled him. where as glads have just been completely meh

vagrant cargo
#

Glads only lost 2 matches

#

And look better match to match

tawdry hamlet
#

Gladiators with a better coach would be ideal Sadge

vagrant cargo
#

They also looked good vs shock

#

And lost vs dallas

tawdry hamlet
#

would break the ceiling they seem to have found

vagrant cargo
#

Ever since the dallas loss they dropped one map

#

And they fixed their issues

#

They dont choke in OT, execute plans way better, good ult usage and MuZe synergy w bird and kevster is great rn

#

Space also improved quite a bit in terms of mechanics he just still suffers the ladder playstyle stuff

hot onyx
#

Imagine in 2022 they announce that dPeis contract gets extended for 2 years like Kukis

vagrant cargo
#

Where he sometimes tunnelvisions

#

I wanted KDG for philly

#

For glads*

#

Or nineK

#

Or junkbuck

hot onyx
#

Or anyone that isn’t Dpei IMT or Whynot

vagrant cargo
#

Yes

hot onyx
#

Aero to Glads 2022

#

You will eat those words like alphabet soup

tawdry hamlet
#

I find space has a lot of ladder playstyle ingrained in him and it lowkey holds the team back

#

Skewed has been a great brig specialist so far which is pretty cool

#

oh yeah didn't Gladiators lose a series where they tried to play Mirror early on in the season?

#

Oh yeah that was when kevster was on ping I remember now

tawdry hamlet
#

Is it a hot take to say after mirror he's the worst on the team and I only say that because mirror barely plays so idk he gives me hydration vibes lmao

#

That's another thing why tf does hydration still have a contract

#

What can he do that danteh ksf and happy can't besides shit idk like doomfist or pharah ig lol

#

I guess Junkrat too but he's irrelevant and they have Jake loll

Hmm, I wonder who could replace him had they not kept him

little tusk
#

damn diem retired

#

Not me

devout path
plush grail
#

tillu cry?

devout path
#

No till Boston goes 3-0 this tourney

hot onyx

Pre existing tank synergy with MuZe

devout path
hot onyx
#

Nah, there’s only so much dominating GBS can do with StandDumb as his tank partner

plush grail
#

remember when ur precious off tank lost in trials?? @devout path

plush grail
#

well he actually managed to make it to contenders

#

so a big step up from gbs

vagrant cargo
vagrant cargo
#

But glads can definitely beat them

#

Also glads with GBS>>

tropic herald
#

Boston could beat glads but I’m not going to pred Boston to win that until they win that

vagrant cargo
#

Same

#

And im a glads fan so

plush grail
tropic herald
#

It makes perfect sense

vagrant cargo
#

Also kevster gapped valentine before and he gapped pelican

tropic herald
#

I’m not going to pred Boston until I’m more confident in them

vagrant cargo
#

He can do it again

#

Because kevster is just god

forest raven
#

Is it a hot take to say Dallas and Shock's monkey brawl would run over glads and houston orisa shit

vagrant cargo
#

Idk abt glads but definitely over houston

tropic herald
#

Although Boston will 3-0 Paris Bc no way an off tank replacement like that will look pretty for them

vagrant cargo
#

I can see glads putting up a good fight

noble nexus
#

monkey brawl from high level teams pounds

forest raven
#

No other team has played on the same tempo as Shock and Dallas

tropic herald
#

Dallas Shock should beat Glads Houston each but it won’t be a stomp

vagrant cargo
#

I think houston gets stomped

#

I dont rate them

#

They are worse than atl tbh

devout path
#

Glads gets stomped harder

vagrant cargo
#

Nah

#

Glads>houston

devout path
#

That’s just wrong

vagrant cargo
#

Not rlly

noble nexus
#

I'm a glads fan and I don't even think I could put them over houston with a clear advantage

vagrant cargo
#

Glads beat atl and look rlly clean and coordinated rn

noble nexus
#

I do think they could win tho

vagrant cargo
#

While houston played one good team (atl) and got fucked lmao

devout path
vagrant cargo
#

Mayhem struggled vs london, toronto had no heesu and is in general wacky rn and london is

#

London

noble nexus
#

atlanta were kinda ass in their glads match

vagrant cargo
#

Houston havent faced any good competition

noble nexus
#

they even made space look good

vagrant cargo
#

Atlanta were ass because they got outclassed

tropic herald
#

Houston kinda got gifted this stage

vagrant cargo
#

Its a team diff

#

Glads understanding of the meta and their playstyle put them easily ahead

#

Also if u wanna talk abt looking good

#

In the last 4 games glads dropped ONE map

#

After looking good vs shock on their opener

tawdry hamlet
#

We found the glads fan

tropic herald
#

This weekend is gonna be nuts

vagrant cargo
#

Like glads had one bad game vs fuel and a shaky game vs london

devout path
#

Boston dropped 0 maps in the last 2 games

noble nexus
#

they looked shaky vs london

vagrant cargo
#

Yeah boston is good

tropic herald
#

Too many individual matches matter

vagrant cargo
forest raven
vagrant cargo
#

Atlanta is good and boston made it competitve w everyone but glads in their Ls iirc

#

Like they outclassed every team they faced since then

tropic herald
#

Dallas play Florida today PauseChamp

vagrant cargo
#

While houston had a decently competitve series w a team that struggled vs london and lost to atl

#

I hope florida get their shit together

noble nexus
#

the only reason their shock game was competitive was because the shock played viol2t cree

vagrant cargo
#

Becsuse rn they look rlly weak

#

Viol2t cree pounded

#

Lol

noble nexus
#

viol2t cree only pounded because kevster was ass that game

vagrant cargo
#

Glads won the first map where he didnt even play cree

#

I mean kevster did good viol2t cree pounded because viol2t cree is pretty nasty mechanics wise

tawdry hamlet
#

catplobbers catplobbers catplobbers Florida are such a wild card. I can never tell where they sit because one day they'll stomp a good team then next day lose a map to Someone like London

vagrant cargo
#

I think kuki can fix their issues

#

So i expect them to look a lot better

noble nexus
#

I want London's only win to be against the shock or dallas or some shit

tawdry hamlet
#

Will we see checkmate this season is the real question monkaS

noble nexus
#

that'd be wild

vagrant cargo
#

Then they did vs london and houston

forest raven
#

Shock are obligated to lose against one bad team each year

tropic herald
#

I expect Florida to come out today and mirror Dallas in the rush but if they don’t I will be sad

vagrant cargo
noble nexus
#

I hope they feel the need to lose to London

vagrant cargo
#

Houston :^)

forest raven
#

Damn you really don't rate houston

vagrant cargo
#

I do think they are good

#

But i dont have them top tier

#

Both dallas and shock had their worst performances vs houston

#

Like i rewatched both matches and it was just happy diff

#

Dragging them trough every map kicking anf screaming

tawdry hamlet
#

Houston are top 4 na gatekeepers at best very best but certainly not bad TSMC_charizard

noble nexus
#

happy can't diff the dallas' hitscan if they don't have one

#

its big brain

vagrant cargo
#

Once dallas got their shit together houston got swept and then lost to atlants

tropic herald
#

Pelican on echo 😍

vagrant cargo
#

And now ppl say they improved when all they did was beat a struggling mayhem, the worst team in the leagie and a toronto w a worse hitscan and no full kr comms therefore worse overall play

tropic herald
#

Rest of atlanta 😒

vagrant cargo
#

Pelican on any hero 😍

forest raven
#

Gator is in the league

#

Fissure is not

vagrant cargo
#

Fissure is also retired isnt he

tropic herald
#

Atlanta actually make upgrades to more than one role in the off season challenge

forest raven
#

(Impossible)

vagrant cargo
#

Atlanta somehow not looking like thw best tean

#

In their ideal meta

#

Even after all the scrimmbux

#

Sheeesh

#

I still remember when ppl acted as if atlanta would be top 3 NA 😭

forest raven
#

Yeah, atlanta fans

vagrant cargo
#

Never ever trust scrimmbux

#

It somehow happens every year

tropic herald
#

I’m not watching their matches super closely but I’m just gonna put the filler response: sephy

vagrant cargo
#

I mean yeah

#

And hawk

#

And masaa

forest raven
#

Unter will carry them out of mediocrity

vagrant cargo
#

Gator orisa is fine

#

Kai is good

#

Pelican top tier

#

Iris exists

tropic herald
#

I think iris is better than people rate him but also he has masaa

vagrant cargo
#

I think iris is in a weird spot

forest raven
#

Masaa goes to sleep and dreams of goats every night

vagrant cargo
#

U have ppl that for some reason think he is bad

#

And then u have ppl that say he is top 5 NA

#

Lmao

#

I think iris is mid table

tropic herald
#

Top 5 na hmmmmm

vagrant cargo
#

My top 5 NA is Viol2t Shu Fielder Gangnamjin Kaan

#

Kaan is crazy

#

He legit does 0 mistakes

tropic herald
#

Viol2t Twilight Shu Fielder GangNamJim hmm

vagrant cargo
#

I tried to do one per team

tropic herald
#

Kaan good too but I also have the bias of his team fucking sucks so it’s hard to rate him

vagrant cargo
#

But if we count twilight then kaan out ye

tropic herald
#

I’d definitely but Iris with Kaan or right after

raw ermine
#

Rip diem

vagrant cargo
#

I would have kaan 6th myun 7th iris 8th crimzo 9th lastro 10th ripa 11th and roolf 12th

#

Actually bebe 10th

#

Forgot abt him

tropic herald
#

Yea, Diem retire is the hardest retire to hit in a while

forest raven
#

Man it really is bullshit for all the other teams in the league that shock have both super and smurf, and viol2t and twilight

vagrant cargo
#

I mean super is kinda a rein otp

#

His orisa is aight

tropic herald
#

Shanghai have Molly and Izayaki

vagrant cargo
#

But his monkey oh nonono

tropic herald
#

Also Chengdu have 1987 and Mmonk

forest raven
#

?

vagrant cargo
#

Glads have skewed n shu

forest raven
#

Man hasn't had to play monkey professionally since 2018 of course it's not up to scratch

vagrant cargo
#

He was always a weak monkey

tropic herald
#

Well yea but it still wasn’t ever good

vagrant cargo
#

It has always been his worst hero

forest raven
#

His worst tank is sigma

vagrant cargo
#

And when he played it this season muze absolutely demolished him on illios

#

And the fact that they whipped it out in the first place means they scrimmed super monkey at least on that map

tawdry hamlet
#

Chengdu have a stacked support line Salutations

vagrant cargo
#

And it was still bad

forest raven
#

Also calling super a rein otp after grand finals last year is weird

tawdry hamlet
#

Name one other time hog was relevant

#

In recent history

tropic herald
#

Ok he’s a rein hog 2 trick

vagrant cargo
#

If we consider heros like hog sure he isnt

#

Then michelle shall be listed in sombra Lists

tropic herald
#

Bumper Number one Hanzo

vagrant cargo
#

Agilities god of bap

forest raven
#

I think y'all underestimate him

vagrant cargo
#

Nah

tawdry hamlet
#

Chengdu really took 1987 mmonk Nisha and yveltal though, that is like so stacked monkaS

vagrant cargo
#

Its just the typical NA/western bias

#

That is pretty strong in the western ow fanbase

forest raven
#

I live in Australia

#

I watch more APAC than NA

vagrant cargo
#

Australia still gets considered western

#

For ow

#

Because they are way to bad to even compare them with cn and kr

tawdry hamlet
#

I wish lige was able to play this season, unfortunate with that. He was so good in gauntlet

vagrant cargo
#

Yeah

forest raven
#

I didn't say I wasn't western

vagrant cargo
#

Ma bad

forest raven
#

I can actually watch APAC teams a lot more than anyone in NA

vagrant cargo
#

Missunderstood then

tawdry hamlet
#

I also wish hz got 1987 since they'd probably actually use him

vagrant cargo
#

I mean yeah but i was talking in general

limber pine
#

I need to watch APAC more

#

it's just so early

vagrant cargo
#

I rewatch most matches

tropic herald
#

Hangzhou Shanghai and Chengdu matches are all worth

tawdry hamlet
#

I just want Choi and Eileen to play good like usual and for Kaylee brain to activate red

forest raven
#

Kaylee on the bench forever

tawdry hamlet
#

I like the charge roster minus Mandu 😭

#

And probably the limitations of the tank line

#

I don't like those either lmao

vagrant cargo
#

Charge godsb

#

Make it happen

tawdry hamlet
#

I think halo said he was considering retirement or something

vagrant cargo
#

That reminds me when someone on titanscord told me dalton>godsb 2 days ago

tawdry hamlet
vagrant cargo
#

yeah

#

Mans said godsb was a bottom 2 hs LMAO

tawdry hamlet
#

I watched godsb stream like 2 days ago, was very cool 😎

#

He was farming on cree

vagrant cargo
#

Yeah godsb crazy

Super underrated hs

Glads when the manager talks to the head coach

tawdry hamlet
#

I doubt anyone will hire nohill after he shit on rui even if he was kind of based in saying that compared to team cc the league sucks ass and yet he still isn't a coach

#

But you never know he is good coach TSMC_charizard

forest raven
#

Why are glads so willing to invest so much into their roster and then give like five bucks and a piece of lint for their coaching staff

limber pine

because they like dpei

Kariv last three supports Kruise Kellex Mandu

tawdry hamlet

Are charge the only apac team to sign western players?

Also rip kariv his Ms have all been kind of bad

vagrant cargo

I mean kariv isnt good either

noble nexus

idk I don't think he's bad but he does get overrated sometimes

purely based on once per season carry performances

if he had a decent MS to work with he'd look a lot better tho

trail perch
vagrant cargo

I got banned on sparkcord for something i didnt do

earnest leaf
#

Of you got banned on 11 you did something wrong lmao

vagrant cargo
#

Which led to a chainban on atl shock and pariscord

#

Because tje mods there work together or something

#

My valiantcord ban was in S1 when i was a lot more toxic n shit

#

That one was deserved

willow tartan
#

yes all the owl servers are linked together

#

its like how all subreddits are owned by the same 4 people

vagrant cargo
#

Shanghaicord banned me for saying labeling ans a homophobe etc 247 is kinda unfair

#

Like no joke Shanghaicord ban was confusing but i barely talked in there anyways and they prolly saw i was banned on other cords

#

Dallas cord was after a uh heated S2 argument

willow tartan
#

what does shanghai have to do with ans

vagrant cargo
#

Idk but i saw someone say they ate happy that he retired because hes a homophobe

vagrant cargo

Didnt he call diems playstyle gay or something like that

In the widow v widow tourney

vagrant cargo

In a deragotary way

Then apologized the next day

he didnt want to play in a "gay" way is what he said

willow tartan

oh thats not bad

It was a shitty thing to say but he apologize

well idk in english speaking countries, but over here gay is a common way to refer to something like that

Linkzr will win

But starboy gets the early supporter treatment

willow tartan

diem gets resigned only to play widow 1v1 then retires straight after

vagrant cargo

It is

willow tartan

separate words

And i called him racist several times

And then he pinged mods and whoops i was gone : D

trail perch
#

There is no context

In the past using "gay" as an insult is deragatory, and is looked down upon here in the states

people over here dont use gay to refer to homosexuals

here it means anything thats an inconvenience

tropic herald

Statslab

tropic herald

stats lab is about as fast as it gets

its updated weekly

limber pine

I understands stats lab

but I need something that parses the advanced stats

limber pine

if I wanted to see primal rage kills

without running through the excel sheet

tribal canopy
tropic herald
#

i dont think any site or app offers that but also i bet if you ask the stats people on twitter they might respond

limber pine
#

The zip file with the stats has 332048 records

vagrant cargo
#

Reading stats is always tricky

#

Because context matters a shitton

limber pine
#

obviously, but that's not my question

#

the advanced data provides stats per match, so each player has an instance of:

  1. Each hero they played (per map)
  2. a summary across all heroes they played (per map)
  3. 70 individual stats
balmy wolf
#

ATLANTA GLADS FOR JJ

limber pine

for example, Doha's Mei has 39 different stats just for one Busan map on 5/2

it's almost impossible to parse through
