Well yeah but APAC doesn’t have Vancouver

devout path
tropic herald
#

So who’s the real loser

tawdry hamlet
#

they have la

earnest leaf
#

apac has valiant

tawdry hamlet
#

earnest leaf
#

the worst team in the league lmao

teal moat
#

OMG LEAVE for

tropic herald
#

Valiant is a figment of your imagination

teal moat
#

leave is so good too

balmy wolf
#

apac has good teams but the gap between them and dragons is too much

worldly flax
#

valiant is a social experiment

devout path
#

Shy is insane

tawdry hamlet
#

Valiant was just a prank bro

teal moat
#

I havent watched much of shy tbh

earnest leaf
#

apac is literally shd, and some random team in apac doing well for one tourney cycle then falling off

willow tartan
earnest leaf
#

chengdu for first cycle, then spark

balmy wolf
#

philly should be 2nd in apac but their whole team situations is fucked up rn

devout path
#

But not close enough

willow tartan
#

not to mention they keep failing to qualify

earnest leaf
#

I mean shock did beat dallas

willow tartan
#

that doesn't help lol

teal moat
#

like I feel so bad for carpe so many times this man

barren quest
worldly flax
tawdry hamlet
#

no that was like 2 weeks ago

barren quest
#

Week 2 of JJ then

ivory mason
#

Yea

mighty oasis
#

Holy Shanghai?!?!?

willow tartan
#

are the Dallas Fuel ok?

ivory mason
#

Wym?

willow tartan
#

fielder looked like he was crying

ivory mason
#

Well

#

You would aswell

#

That was an intense game

#

Literally came to the very end

devout path
#

That was an incredibly intense game

worldly flax
barren quest
#

Wasn't Fate also crying too

ivory mason
#

Why would they get hate

tropic herald
#

Fuel are gonna be rough next stage

devout path
#

No way they get hate

tropic herald
#

Ball is gonna be good

ivory mason
#

Different tears

mighty oasis
#

we were all crying I think

devout path
#

Dallas is literally so insane still

tawdry hamlet
#

damn their esports team small af

earnest leaf
#

Fearless did well on ball

mighty oasis
#

if you weren't crying, you were doing it wrong

devout path
ivory mason
#

Fearless did well on ball but lacked cordination

tropic herald
#

I think fewrless did fine but also Dallas clearly aren’t a team used to ball at all

balmy wolf
#

i will no longer be buying a dallas skin

ivory mason
#

Because less practice

tawdry hamlet
#

Dallas knows how to learn Salutations

worldly flax
severe tusk
#

dallas were getting better at ball though as the series went on

tropic herald
#

They played ball like they were playing monke

barren quest
balmy wolf
#

but im not a dallas fan so it doesnt matter

teal moat
#

You know who we arent counting in this echo thing is Yaki he was so good too

severe tusk
#

they just adapted too late/too slowly

save urself

tropic herald
#

Shanghai is simply the strongest mental ever

tawdry hamlet
#

so how many of these players even know wtf she is saying

ivory mason
devout path
#

Tbh I’d take Doha echo over sparkle echo

willow tartan
tawdry hamlet
#

Kai looks done with life in this

halo making people mald

tawdry hamlet
#

all im saying is, if a team chokes and we don't get shock fusion dragon fuel in at least one tourney this year then the season is ruined OOOOOAAAAAAA

worn hornet
#

I'm eating Shanghai
Well that aged poorly

devout path
#

Fate can’t replace fearless

#

Fate doesn’t have to

tawdry hamlet
#

he can replace him on da ball

#

but that is really it

#

lol

barren quest
#

And Orisa

teal moat
devout path
#

Exactly

tropic herald
#

This feels like the stage finals of season 2

tawdry hamlet
#

I guess but who tf cares about orisa is the question hehehe

tropic herald
#

Dallas is Titans

#

Shanghai is Shock

teal moat
#

but in the end monkey power of fearless is too much

devout path
#

Fearless had the handicap of Winston primarily

teal moat
tawdry hamlet
tropic herald
#

Oh no who is Shanghai

devout path
tawdry hamlet
#

I have seen too many main tanks stuck on double shield to ever wish orisa jail on them again

devout path
#

True true

candid gyro
#

The chat going from spamming 4-0 to Shanghai support is really what made it for me

tawdry hamlet
#

it was a close series

#

no need to discount either reallyu

#

like I could be annoyed fuel didn't win but oh well dragons played really good

teal moat
#

it was a easy like first few maps

tawdry hamlet
#

and the series wasn't close in the beginning hence the 4-0 comments

teal moat
#

then out of nowhere dragons go crazy and made it close

candid gyro
#

I know, I'm not discounting their efforts

tawdry hamlet
#

great timeline of events, as with most sports events, hopium and bias go crazy LETSFUCKINGGOOOO

#

oh I know that

devout path
#

Dragons turned on their monitors

tawdry hamlet
#

I was just saying like both teams were nutty so anyone who is mad at the result is silly

candid gyro
#

It's just as a Shanghai supporter seeing them claw back and gain more support was so satisfying

devout path
#

No one thought dragons would win

teal moat
#

I'm sorry to break it to you but shanghai will soon be taken down again

tawdry hamlet
#

this is going in my top matches of all time along with Decay Zarya playoff run and Shanghai Philly May Melee knockouts

candid gyro
#

I am aware of it

#

But there were so many great moments in there

devout path
candid gyro
#

I'm quite content to just ride off this high

teal moat
#

I miss only season one overwatch ngl

tawdry hamlet
#

someday washington needs to try decay on the Zarya again, just for lols, just try it pls justice I wanna see it again

#

I know it won't be good since they have fury already

#

but be fun

devout path
#

Stage2 finals 2019 was beautiful

tawdry hamlet
#

if they face someone like Vancouver or London I pray they do a funny role swap

devout path
mortal abyss
#

At least now dragons have made ppl put respect on apac

candid gyro
#

This was the first time I've actually watched the overwatch league, my friend made me watch along with them and I just chose to support Shanghai on day one

tawdry hamlet
#

Anyone who watched gauntlet have any preds on how sparkr will perform

candid gyro
#

I didn't actually think it'd be this hype

devout path
#

SparkR will do better than hybrid

#

That’s my only pred

balmy wolf
#

i dont think it matters at this point

#

gonna be like sayaplayer in fla

#

good highlights but the team is still bad

tawdry hamlet
#

it doesn't really matter if sparkr plays better since london will never have success

#

but I hope he outperforms hybrid

#

because hybrid sucks

devout path
#

sparkr becomes 2018 pine

tawdry hamlet
#

he will never live this down for me lmaoo just such good clip

hybrid_god_at_the_game-1-1.gif
#

I have to send Everytime hybrid is mentioned lolll it's just so funnnni

devout path
tawdry hamlet
#

the encore going to get me almost all my tokens I spent on widow back lolll

mortal cipher
tawdry hamlet
#

thanks dallas and shanghai

mortal cipher
#

lol

#

danke dallas

tawdry hamlet
#

idk how he did that he just needed to right click since he only needed a body shot lolll

mortal cipher
#

he almost had it then died tbf it was against a hanzo

teal moat
#

GGS everyone

mortal cipher
#

gg

#

indeed

tawdry hamlet
mortal cipher
teal moat
#

and now I'm in the mood to play some overwatch what a rush

tawdry hamlet
#

I forgot yeatle played in gauntlet na

#

I am looking for sparkr clips

#

I wonder how he compares to top na t2 dps like speedily

devout path
#

Yeatle played in gauntlet?

#

How did he do

#

I assume not well

tawdry hamlet
#

yeah on Darkmode NA, I believe they made it to losers finals but I have to check

devout path
#

Was yeatle like the starting main tank during it or

tawdry hamlet
#

oh yeah they got third in na after odyssey and tornado

#

he played ball since sigma ball echo tracer meta

#

so it worked out for him

devout path
#

Oh

tawdry hamlet
#

since it is literally his signature hero

#

oh wow it was also 2-3 to odyssey

#

he did way better than I remember

#

they almost got second in na which is pretty good considering American Tornado were able to stand up to OWL teams so we knew they wouldn't beat at

devout path
#

AT rlly good

#

But that’s what we said ab British hurricane and.....

tawdry hamlet
#

yeah that gauntlet sigma ball american tornado is one of my favorite contenders teams

#

just so damn good

#

I am pretty sure at actually got to scrim owl teams tho

#

I don't think hurricane did

devout path
#

Yeah but hurricane beat at that one time

tawdry hamlet
#

yeah but that was on ping in a showmatch in fairness

#

According to Daan American Tornado beat 80 percent of owl teams in that meta but idk how factual that is lmao

devout path
tawdry hamlet
#

Contenders this year has honestly been really hype

devout path
#

Beats Boston 80% of the time

tawdry hamlet
#

Contenders as a whole in almost every region leveled up

#

EU is still probably weakest after australia tho

devout path
#

Yeah Australian contenders doesn’t exist anymore

tawdry hamlet
#

Team CC at their peak was fucking goated

devout path
#

They really leveled up

tawdry hamlet
#

the sigma ball meta with diya innovation lige gaga 1987 and uhh shit who was the other guy

#

they were crazy good

devout path
#

Wtf

#

Stacked

tawdry hamlet
#

oh duh superich was the other guy

#

yeah

willow tartan
#

hey when is innovation gonna go into the league

tawdry hamlet
#

he changed his name hence why I forgot him

#

he is now haoyoqian

#

Idk when innovation will make it, maybe next year he can replace kaylee hmm

willow tartan
#

team cc is just

#

come on

tawdry hamlet
#

honestly criminal that Bilibili was the worst team in china and kaylee got picked up but Diya and Innovation were the only ones not picked up from cc

#

like bruh

willow tartan
#

actually i wonder which contenders team has made the most owl players

devout path
#

EM

willow tartan
#

o yeah

tawdry hamlet
#

Just look at the fuel

#

yeah lol

#

Runaway after that I think

willow tartan
#

EM and Runaway are responsible for like a large minority of the league

devout path
#

Large minority

tropic herald
tawdry hamlet
#

all of 2019 titans, leejaegon heesu qoq gnj yaki schwi mag flower assassin all were from runaway

#

nutty

#

Lunatic-Hai also had quite a few iirc

devout path
#

Two super teams come from the same contenders team

#

2019 titans and Dallas now

tawdry hamlet
#

Runaway and Element Mystic are not the same team

#

although they are similar in terms of producing talent

#

and region

devout path
#

What

#

No I meant players

#

I meant all the players were from the same team sorta

tawdry hamlet
#

oh I guess that makes sense

devout path
#

But I mean

tawdry hamlet
#

shame London couldn't emulate it omegalul

devout path
tawdry hamlet
#

or 2020 titans

devout path
#

2018 seoul

gusty rampart
#

Dallas Fuel got taught their place finally

tawdry hamlet
#

yeah early seoul was all lunatic hai

#

but that was when league teams were mostly just the best teams signed right it

devout path
#

I mean

#

Nyxl London were mixed teams

#

I think

willow tartan
#

i was logged into the wrong yt account for the entirety of the grand finals

tawdry hamlet
devout path
tawdry hamlet
#

element mystic literally breathe on someone and they make the league lmao

unknown.png
willow tartan
#

they are the league at this point

brave igloo
#

Who won?

tawdry hamlet
#

Runaway have had 18 players reach the league

#

crazy

willow tartan
brave igloo
#

Let's go

devout path
#

Wait

tawdry hamlet
#

so I looked, and

devout path
#

That’s EM

#

I’m dumb

tawdry hamlet
#

Runaway have 18 and em have 13

#

crazy

#

talent producers

#

im also a brainlet and didn't realize vesta was happy omegalul

#

so 14

devout path
#

Wait vesta is happy?

#

Didn’t know that

tawdry hamlet
#

neither did I lol but the name links to his page so one can only assume

next mesa
#

Yeah

devout path
#

EM really was stacked wtf

next mesa
#

He didn't play a game doe

#

He was caught for boosting or smt

#

Got kicked

tawdry hamlet
devout path
#

That game was 3 hours long

tawdry hamlet
#

oh heesu was on em before runaway so actually 15 league players for em to 17 for runaway

#

that is actually super close

#

so who do you think has the most after those 2? An academy team?

next mesa
#

Talon

#

Maybe

tawdry hamlet
#

Funi has around 11 actually

worthy void
#

damn that series was tense

blissful umbra
#

The series was so good

#

Lee was putting in work

#

Sad that they were running Lucio so much but you gotta when playing against Dallas

#

Izayaki did so well too for only having 1 tank to heal off of

earnest leaf
#

I didn't like the series tbh

#

meta was just too shit

blissful umbra
#

Moira Lucio Reaper Echo?

earnest leaf
#

yes

blissful umbra
#

I mean Fate was running Ball

#

Vs everyone else running Orisa/Winston

#

I really liked the ball pick in this series

#

Especially since how Dallas plays

#

Fate made them a lot more honest

gusty rampart
#

Lmao they got mocked for it

#

Doubters be doubting

earnest leaf
#

the ball comp was absolute dogshit for the first half

blissful umbra
#

Nag

earnest leaf
#

Them winning on it doesn't reverse that

blissful umbra
#

Nah

#

It makes perfect sense

tawdry hamlet
#

they got mocked for it because they played like ass until map 4 then they figured it out Salutations

blissful umbra
#

Ball forces support cooldowns

tawdry hamlet
#

which is good for them

#

and the ball comp yesterday they also played god awful too hence the doubters

blissful umbra
#

And ball was doing work with minefields into coll

tawdry hamlet
#

it was a good series, I don't think any series that goes to map 7 can be a bad series

earnest leaf
#

um

#

Sir

tawdry hamlet
#

I enjoyed how much more intense the meta got in the last few maps

earnest leaf
#

You are forgetting the toilet bowl

blissful umbra
tawdry hamlet
#

eichenwalde and Junkertown were so goooood

#

so many ups and downs

blissful umbra
#

Junker was solo good

tawdry hamlet
#

and I say that even though I wanted Dallas to win Salutations

blissful umbra
#

Even though Shanghai lost

#

I also liked Rialto

#

I would have loved to see kings to have been the hybrid, but I don't think Shanghai would take a Winston Dva to kings

#

Especially with all those spammy choke points

tawdry hamlet
#

they chose Junkertown over Dorado because last time they played Dorado their lack of a hitscan got exploited hard

blissful umbra
#

Fielder would have gotten so many colls

tawdry hamlet
#

so I don't think they wanted to risk

blissful umbra
#

And rat would've gotten no value

#

I mean lip has a decent Ashe but I think sparkle would blow him up with a counter pick

tawdry hamlet
#

if they picked Dorado Lip could probably force widow like glister did and get some form of value Salutations

blissful umbra
#

And there's also the next pocket. Lee would have been an easy target as mercy

tawdry hamlet
#

Lee is always an ez target 3Dlol

blissful umbra
#

True

willow tartan
blissful umbra
#

Life of a Lucio/Mercy

#

Casters were saying Brig was Lee best hero

#

Not saying I disagree

#

But he was getting a ton of value

tawdry hamlet
#

I really hope at least one meta this season doesn't have echo, I don't hate watching her, but she has been meta since October of 2020 contenders and I am so tired of seeing her

#

pls

earnest leaf
#

ljg has the fdgod type lucio

#

When it works, he is a fucking sicko

#

when it gets countered or checked more often, he can look miserable or mediocre

blissful umbra
#

But not a ton of impact in long drawn out fights without speed/sound barrier on top of a coll

#

I learn so much as a support watching lee and iza

#

Fielder needs to be number one in these power rankings

#

Dethrone that fusion support if this wasn't proof enough xd

tawdry hamlet
#

fielder gapped iziyaki most maps

ebon aurora
blissful umbra
#

100% the comp

ebon aurora
#

ball gets less healing from moira since he's playing alone most of the time

blissful umbra
#

Fate was on packs 24/7

ebon aurora
#

^

blissful umbra
#

But I also think fielder is a really good support

ebon aurora
#

what an incredible match, I really hope these two teams will be the grand final this year

tawdry hamlet
#

yeah I know iziyaki is better bap and ana he is a top 3 flex still I just mean idk why they played the moira when cov is so integral to this meta

#

ball I mean

blissful umbra
#

He deserves #1 at least for this series

#

Tho Izas bap was nutty

tawdry hamlet
#

like the moira ult was super important but they played the one tank who can't feed moira charge

ebon aurora
#

this rivalry is looking like S2 Shock v Titans, I'm all here for it

blissful umbra
#

Y'all like the Bap window yesterday?

tawdry hamlet
#

either way they won so it doesn't matter

blissful umbra
#

Reign never saw it coming

#

Poetry in motion

ebon aurora
#

seems like dallas are the meta makers, dragons are the meta breakers

blissful umbra
#

Nag

tawdry hamlet
#

Bap plays are always fun since they are so easy to grab big plays with from window damage

blissful umbra
#

I think Shanghai are just theorycrafters

tawdry hamlet
#

like violet last season

blissful umbra
#

Who's that fusion support

ebon aurora
#

who overall is the better team so far?

tawdry hamlet
#

Alarm Salutations

blissful umbra
#

Godly

tawdry hamlet
#

Rookie of the Year last season

blissful umbra
#

But I still think fielder should take it

ebon aurora
#

what, MVP?

blissful umbra
#

Supports

tawdry hamlet
#

I mean watson rankings are always biased by stats and wins, they really mean nothing

blissful umbra
#

#1 support then just switch for the next tournaments

ebon aurora
#

he's a shout (as are most of Dallas) but surely it's still Fearless as the favourite for MVP right

blissful umbra
#

Alarm is definitely better then Fielder

#

I just think fielder played out of his mind this tourney

ebon aurora
#

Fielder was cracked during MM too

blissful umbra
#

Bruh

tawdry hamlet
#

yes Salutations everyone knows this, Fielder just has the moira

#

Alarm does not in fact have the moira

blissful umbra
#

Alarms bap...

ebon aurora
#

Fielder's Ana in MM was insane????

blissful umbra
#

Alarm is so aware of the enemy like 97% of the time

ebon aurora
#

last season I agree, Alarm was better but idk how you can say that for this season

blissful umbra
#

That I wonder htf he always positions and kills while also supporting

#

May melee was pretty good

#

I didnt see much this joust

ebon aurora
#

be interesting to see if it's the same meta as it was for MM

blissful umbra
#

Cause I was so happy Shanghai was rolling

ebon aurora
#

seeing as hero pools are removed for SS

tawdry hamlet
#

really hope not Salutations

#

tracer will be back

#

she is always relevant

blissful umbra
#

Doha Sombra back at it again?

ebon aurora
#

yeah but the final was trending towards sombra, tracer/echo, winston, dva, brig, ana

tawdry hamlet
#

Tracer and Sombra will be around again since it is the main way to get rid of a million dva bombs

blissful umbra
#

Sparkle was using a lot of reaper/tracer

ebon aurora
#

or double bubble in same cases

blissful umbra
#

Since no hit scan

ebon aurora
#

honestly I can't really see anyone really hurting Dallas unless winston is banned

tawdry hamlet
#

without tracer and sombra echo has free reign once they ult

#

Dallas are also fine with rein

blissful umbra
#

I'd love for them to make Doha hit the training camp on a mcree or an ashe

ebon aurora
#

and even then, Fearless' Rein is still incredible

tawdry hamlet
#

but with tracer and sombra echo is actually in check so she doesn't look nearly as broken

ebon aurora
blissful umbra
#

Fearless is definitely one of the best tanks if not the best...I think no one can deny

ebon aurora
#

he is the best

tawdry hamlet
#

fearless and smurf Salutations

ebon aurora
#

don't think you can argue otherwise this season

blissful umbra
#

Some people have biastd

tawdry hamlet
#

Fearless and Smurf are still the top 2

ebon aurora
#

agreed

tawdry hamlet
#

Smurf juggle on anubis was crazy

ebon aurora
#

although Fate certainly put himself in the conversation with that performance today

#

no MT is top tier at all 4

blissful umbra
#

5 bomb from void tho

#

Wacky

tawdry hamlet
#

as far as off tanks go void choi fury should be the top 3 but they have all had some wacky games this season

blissful umbra
#

Void got a lot of boops

tawdry hamlet
#

hanbin in place of fury really

ebon aurora
#

I can't work out if Dallas threw that series or if Shanghai just played out of their mind the last 3 maps

blissful umbra
#

Hanbin

#

For sure

tawdry hamlet
#

since fury played like dog ass last series

blissful umbra
#

Oge is pretty good too

tawdry hamlet
#

Shanghai just figured out the comp nobody threw

blissful umbra
#

I really like his sigma ult placement

tawdry hamlet
#

oge is a main tank

ebon aurora
#

but Dallas multiple times were so close to winning

tawdry hamlet
#

gargoyle is the off tank

ebon aurora
#

like on Busan point 3

tawdry hamlet
#

and gargoyle is a top tier off tank I agree

#

on sigma at least im not entirely sure on others

blissful umbra
ebon aurora
#

Hanbin is a beast, and yet I still feel like he's one of the least talked about bits of Dallas

blissful umbra
#

I could be tripping

#

Thought they played sigma dva on a map

ebon aurora
#

best off tanks this season imo: Hanbin, Void, Piggy

tawdry hamlet
#

in this meta the off tank is far less important since echo gets the dva bomb several times it makes it a lot harder to stand out

blissful umbra
#

I'ma watch more of Reign tho. I love the flexibility

ebon aurora
#

I think Piggy has been great for Outlaws

blissful umbra
#

Still gonna rep Washington and Shanghai tho

tawdry hamlet
#

really a shame Houston improved so much but are still just shy of being good enough to go all the way

#

by all the way I mean get past knockouts omegalul

blissful umbra
#

They have that one player

ebon aurora
#

can anyone stop Dallas and Shanghai

#

rn I can't see it

blissful umbra
#

Who always "Mr inconsistently consistent'

#

The Houston dps

tawdry hamlet
#

probaby san francisco if they play normally and don't get mega boomed like they did against atlanta

blissful umbra
#

Did really good on tracer in mm

tawdry hamlet
#

since they did mirror dallas really well

blissful umbra
#

And hardly showed up in JJ imo

ebon aurora
blissful umbra
#

Tho the casters hyped him up a ton

ebon aurora
#

by the end I think Dallas would've won

#

Danteh?

blissful umbra
#

Ya

tawdry hamlet
#

Danteh is at his ceiling imo

#

I don't see him getting any better than the A tier he is at now

ebon aurora
blissful umbra
#

I feel next tournament when he gets his tracer we'll see better performance

ebon aurora
#

big if though

#

Shock look mortal this year

blissful umbra
#

But I preferred his tracer by far over the echo

tawdry hamlet
#

Atlanta was scrim partners with Dallas hence why they knew the meta so well, had san francisco been scrim partners with dallas I see things having gone slightly different

blissful umbra
#

Shock have Smurf right?

ebon aurora
#

maybe Justice/Glads if they really sort things out? On paper their lineups could be strong enough

blissful umbra
#

Smurf/Choi on the shock?

ebon aurora
#

and Philly once they get their full roster

ebon aurora
tawdry hamlet
#

if monke goes away Justice are just gone from relevancy lmao

#

Mag the ultimate otp

#

hes an insane winston too

blissful umbra
#

Mag is so fun

#

He's top 5 on tank I believe

tawdry hamlet
#

but need him to flex and he is god awful

earnest leaf
#

If shock play to their normal standards they are still top 2 in the league

#

but they like to dominate one game then get boomed in an important one

ebon aurora
#

but it would be very very close

blissful umbra
tawdry hamlet
#

have you not seen fearless rein

#

or ball

blissful umbra
#

Fate was definitely better on ball...

ebon aurora
#

Fearless' Rein is fantastic

tawdry hamlet
#

yeah, but fearless was still playing fine

earnest leaf
#

shd hard practiced the ball comp

ebon aurora
#

tbf to Fearless, he only swapped to ball properly for 1 map

earnest leaf
#

Fearless picked it up mid series and did pretty well

tawdry hamlet
#

he isn't going to be better than a ball player that practiced ball

ebon aurora
#

and he did well

ebon aurora
blissful umbra
#

I think you swap to ball when you know it's going to work

ebon aurora
#

and SHD had practiced working off his engages

#

Fuel were doing it on the fly

since fate literally is just afraid of running monkey after their early season catastrophes over there in shanghai land

willow tartan
#

Fearless has practiced ball

ebon aurora
willow tartan
#

Pre season yes, idk about recently

ebon aurora
#

I think the ball swap for Fearless was the right call tbh

#

Dallas had to try something

blissful umbra
#

And the disruption it causes

#

Especially since Winston Dva is all about fast pace

ebon aurora
#

I don't know what else Dallas could've swapped to to beat the ball comp

tawdry hamlet
#

if Apac go back to dive like usual the lack of winston will start to show

#

but if it sticks to this rush thing

blissful umbra
#

Next tourney we'll go back to boring rein dva unless she gets banned anyways

tawdry hamlet
#

then it will be fine

blissful umbra
#

Dva ban please

tawdry hamlet
#

Apac doesn't play rein like ever

#

they run rush

#

dive

#

fuck

blissful umbra
#

Talking about dallas

#

And west

#

Dva rein or some BS

tawdry hamlet
#

Dallas will play whatever works better Salutations the lower teams like houston and glads might fiddle with rein but I see dallas just forcing monkey

#

unless they absolutely have to

blissful umbra
#

Really hoping dva gets banned in a tourney

#

The 4 bombs in 1 teamfights from dvas and echos...

ebon aurora
#

tbf, that's more to do with echo

#

than dva

blissful umbra
#

Ban dva echo and the tourney be a lot more honest

ebon aurora
#

with sombra and tracer back, echo will see much less play

tawdry hamlet
#

that is more to do with lack of sombra, you don't notice echo dupes as much with a tracer or sombra because there is always somebody shooting at echo to keep her from getting tons of free charge

#

but in echo reaper monkey

#

there is so much charge to go around

blissful umbra
#

Fleta will probably still play echo

tawdry hamlet
#

since reaper can't do much

blissful umbra
#

They were playing it during mm weren't they?

#

It was like tracer echo towards the end

tawdry hamlet
#

it went back and forth between comps of tracer echo sombra ashe type things

#

for shanghai in mm

blissful umbra
#

Tracer Sombra rcho

tawdry hamlet
#

may melee diem played ashe and lip played cree often as well in the earlier stages, but in the tourney itself I think it was pure tracer sombra echo mirrors

blissful umbra
#

Still think dva needs to be taken out if not echo

tawdry hamlet
#

why though, in may melee they had dva and echo and there weren't a million bombs a fight, it is just the hero bans

blissful umbra
#

There were 5 bombd

#

On that 1 map

#

Either this joust or mm

#

Or maybe I watched an old video

earnest leaf
#

no bans for the next stage as a heads up

blissful umbra
#

Was talking about next tourney that does bans

blissful umbra

Lol good man unts

#

oh shit shanghai won

real gyro
#

Here are some of my favourite quotes i heard before the tournament, "Dallas fuel meta" "APAC don't know how to play meta" "Atlanta will beat Shanghai", i also enjoyed watching the desk all predict Atlanta and Dallas to win.

noble nexus
#

shanghai are the only consistently good team in APAC

remote siren
#

Also shock at their peak with this line up?

#

Would not be top 2 lmfao

#

In form Shanghai and dallas just has better or equal players at every position

#

Fearless is the best winston and rein

#

You have jesce vs fdgod, which jesce is better

#

Fielder vs viol2t is very close

#

Dps line is equal

#

Or better honestly

willow drum
#

Where did the guy who said he would give 100 dollars if shanghai won go?

remote siren
#

Idk

willow drum
remote siren
#

And better team play

willow drum
#

At the high level everybody is around the same skill level

#

So it's just down to coordination

remote siren
#

And coordination

#

Shock troll with their ults

willow drum
#

Shock aren't good at communicating and don't seem to just understand how the meta works

#

as well as the top 2 teams

#

So, yes, their ultimate usage can be a bit off

#

Remember the Shock v Dallas game in the regular season?

#

Both teams made mistakes

#

However, Shock still won in the end

#

Which is why Shock that plays normally is still N. 1 imo

radiant hazel

Where can you watch the vod of the widowmaker 1v1?

Nyxl was pretty good in season 2

They’re ok this season

I followed london team too that time

They made it to top 4 in the tourney this week

2019 stage 1 and stage 2 finals

only other games that tense imo

that was goats

What exactly happened it the last 4 games?

Why did they see a change in results

#

I am complete ow noob and so I'm a bit clueless as to why it just started to work

that dallas fuel vs dragons match was just a tense match

#

masterful game with amazing coordination and synergy

simply amazing game

Oh yeah the maps are long but at least it’s good ow

Even if the meta is zzzzzzzz

#

i currently have 100 tokens and i wanna get the super soaker skin but idk if i wanna rock the worst team in the league

#

2nd worst

raw ermine
#

cause C9 cheap, and blue is a cool colour

#

Which skin is that? super soaker?

chilly jolt
#

genii

#

but they all look like super soakers

#

cuz of the blue and orange

raw ermine

if people ask, just say you've followed them since S1 and you adore profit genji, so you got it

30 day

logix, and hochilee have been streaming, so maybe they're ok?

works out since 2 week owl break

when can we see an entire owl team be loaned out to play in contenders to smurf in between stages

next mesa
#

ohh nvm 30 days

#

oops

#

titans loan their roster to NA contenders, gets stomped by AT OMEGALUL

raw ermine
#

yeah they would

willow tartan

dragons roster go to team cc

#

ez money

should i get dallas winston skin because fearless is the best or should i get shock winston skin because smurf is so cute

noble nexus

get LAV winston

#

I heard that Silver3 guy is a pretty good winston...

chilly jolt
#

oh yeah for sure bro

tawdry hamlet

this is true

You should get Shanghai Winston skin because they are your June Joust Champions.

OH YES

willow tartan
#

how u kno

#

wait did they announce it

balmy wolf
#

they didnt

#

i just trust in my megabrain

willow tartan
#

nah we wouldntve got 4 dps skins

noble nexus
#

I think we will

willow tartan
#

actually wait

#

the overwatch league skins have both been support

#

ana and mercy

#

so maybe 4 dps for tournament skins, 4 support for owl white/grey skins

#

that must mean

#

2 tank all star skins, 1 tank mvp and 1 tank champion skin

#

ezpz

#

preds

balmy wolf
#

^nah

#

no mvp skin

noble nexus
#

I mean when fearless gets mvp he'll get his skin for winston probably

chilly jolt
#

yes

willow tartan
#

imagine fearless gets mvp and gets cucked bc no skin

balmy wolf
#

sad

noble nexus
#

I can't see them just removing the mvp skin thing over that tho

#

I think they'll change their mind when they announce the mvp

balmy wolf
#

the hanzo skin is gonna be so great

He goodd

willow tartan
#

he's gonna get unbenched later this year iirc

#

maybe we actually get to see him play

tribal canopy
#

what team could he play on

alpine sparrow
#

He is suspended

willow tartan
#

yeah but he's still on sentinels I thought

raw ermine
#

he is

willow tartan
#

he gets unsuspended later this year in like October or something

#

so maybe we'll see him play

raw ermine
#

its more complicated than that, but pelican mod man doesn't like it when we discuss this in here

alpine sparrow
#

They bought tenz tho

raw ermine
#

so we should prolly stop

willow tartan
#

yeah tenz kinda cracked

mortal abyss
#

i heavily doubt sentinels will play himn when they won with tenz

willow tartan
#

mhm

#

idk how that situation will go out

alpine sparrow
#

And they paied a lot for tenz

mortal abyss
#

no point getting a worse player + a bunch of bad press

willow tartan
#

not like he's rusty though since most def Sinatraa kept scrimmimg with them

alpine sparrow
#

Not scrimming

#

Playing

mortal abyss
#

we shld prolly not talk abt sin here tho since mods get annoyed at it

willow tartan
#

prolly sell him for dollaridoos

#

yes

#

overwatch esports now

#

summer showdown no hero bans meta predictions?

noble nexus
#

talking about valorant esports in overwatch esports channel 😡 😡

alpine sparrow
#

Sinatraa played overwatch tho

noble nexus
#

played

alpine sparrow
#

Yeah

willow tartan
#

I predict NA regresses into rein comps

#

East prolly sticks to double bubble

mortal abyss
noble nexus
#

NA will probably go back onto their rein comps when they can tbh

alpine sparrow
#

That tells about state of overwatch when your biggest mvp leaves the game

mortal abyss
#

yeah with tracer double bubble will be way easier to play

willow tartan
#

but at least we'll have meta diversity

mortal abyss
willow tartan
#

I could see rush, dive and bunker all being map dependent

#

since teams like Atlanta can force the orisa

#

on certain maps

noble nexus
#

it's so annoying seeing shock lose to teams they're absolutely better than

#

their roster has so much talent but they're all dogshit when it matters

willow tartan
#

welcome to the top team curse

#

Shanghai getting randomly swept at the start of each stage, philly never qualifying, shock getting swept during knockouts

noble nexus
#

and now Dallas going 3 up and then putting fearless on hog

willow tartan
#

that's just Shanghai exacting their revenge 4 years in the making

#

I wonder what will happen with summer showdown though

#

for all we know Dallas and Shanghai could both just not show up due to wacky shenanigans

#

oh god, you know how nyxl made it to stage and fusion almost knocked out Shanghai in the May melee?

#

tournament weekend would be insufferable if fusion and new york were the two east teams that made it thru

earnest leaf
#

I just thought about something

#

At one point

#

Shock had Sinatraa/Ans/Striker/Rascal/Architecht

raw ermine
#

for like 10 seconds

#

then sin dipped

next mesa
#

fearless is not good at ball honestly

#

fate outpaced him so much

#

it was ridiculous

raw ermine
#

yeah

next mesa
#

imo one of the biggest reasons why they lost not to mention dallas is just not that good in this comp

raw ermine
#

fear didn't seem like he'd be good at ball

#

fate's been playing better all around

#

fearless better hog tho

#

xd

next mesa
#

fyeah

earnest leaf
#

Fearless did well on ball

next mesa
#

why was fearless on hog on eichenwald? I didnt watch it yet

earnest leaf
#

Just fate and shd practiced the comp way more

next mesa
#

individually fate is just also better

raw ermine
#

dallas got boomed there, and prolly wanted to focus fate down I guess, or get the ones shots?

#

idk

rigid hollow
#

why do people accept video games as sports?

#

kinda dumm

tawdry hamlet
#

Nice bait OmegaLUL

#

And as far as fearless hog they did win that teamfight

finite pivot
#

tracerkek kinda looks like super

#

just my hot take

mortal abyss
#

actually

#

i can see it

fast tusk
#

So does anyone know the next hero pool for next month

#

If theres gonna be one

next mesa
#

not gonna be one

hot onyx
#

No hero pools that means the league is good again and not a party game

#

There should be a poll for the viewers and players to vote on wether or not they want hero pools removed for the Countdown Cup
