[balmy wolf]

if shock becomes Good

then shock will qualify

[weak bolt]

Im37 being able to play mcree is pretty favourable for Boston too, he's looking good

[balmy wolf]

dont see anyone else making it

[devout path]

Im37 is looking much much better than before

Not amazing but much better than garbage like he was before

[weak bolt]

I wonder if the big hitscan changes coming will happen right in time for Grand Finals

[bronze turtle]

and the fact that super became a big streamer so his fans route for shock esp last night his fans said that he played well

[devout path]

They will happen most likely for countdown cup

[bronze turtle]

when is the final?

[devout path]

Danteh sleepy sinatraa super is all I remember

[weak bolt]

Iddqd, Dhak, Nomy

[devout path]

After countdown cup playoffs

[balmy wolf]

what about nevix

[devout path]

Oh yeah iddqd

[weak bolt]

Nevix too yep. Sinatraa/Super only played like 3 matches in S1 or something

[devout path]

They were underaged

[weak bolt]

Yeah

[mortal cipher]

was sf even a team in s1

[devout path]

Yeah

[tough coral]

if Vancouver wins this shit

[mortal cipher]

oh its been awhile

[devout path]

They were ok

[weak bolt]

Babybay was S1 shock too iirc

[bronze turtle]

so in theory if valiant start to win every match now they can still make it into the finals?

[mortal cipher]

was sleepy

[devout path]

No

[devout path]

Ye

[bronze turtle]

lol

[mortal cipher]

ah ok

[bronze turtle]

are they way to far down?

[weak bolt]

LAV could still make it if they win every match

[mortal cipher]

oh most definetly

[weak bolt]

They'd need all 6 regular matches + some bonus tournament points

[devout path]

In theory if valiant go on to win every match and the entire countdown cup they could make it

[mortal cipher]

wots the likelyhood of that

[weak bolt]

0

[mortal cipher]

yeah

[devout path]

Valiant won’t win a game

[mortal cipher]

not even a map unless its to fuck over a team

[weak bolt]

More chance of Titans getting a map 5 winning 6 man boop and breadsticks falling onto Danny Lim's head

[devout path]

Philly

[bronze turtle]

Well no but it was just on paper cause idk the rules

this is my first year realy following

[mortal cipher]

yep sadly

[devout path]

Last season killed owl

[bronze turtle]

how?

[weak bolt]

Covid hit OWL hard last year

Started off with like 3 or 4 homestands, then it all got shut down and was a massive break as they had to move it online

[devout path]

2-2-2 double shield meta literally all season

[bronze turtle]

damn

[tawdry hamlet]

It wasn't profitable so rosters got cut down as well

[bronze turtle]

this season seems realy good

[devout path]

Also yeah

[balmy wolf]

yes

2 shanghai vs dallas finals so far

[weak bolt]

Meta was pretty stale, but losing homestands was biggest hit for season

[devout path]

This season they finally understood how to run it

[balmy wolf]

lets get 3 more

[north relic]

it would be great if the regions aren't split anymore

[weak bolt]

to be fair to OWL, they did adapt to online reasonably well. Considering they had so little warning

[mortal cipher]

most definetly

[bronze turtle]

LA vs VT in the grand finales

[devout path]

Only once owl goes back to irl

[north relic]

yea

[bronze turtle]

I wonder if this is the last season on ow1 and 6v6

[north relic]

i doubt ow2 gets released next year

[bronze turtle]

would owl jump to ow2 if it would be released mid season?

[north relic]

probably not

that would be kind of stupid

[weak bolt]

Not mid season

[mortal cipher]

someone said if vancouver wins then the league is in chambles

[north relic]

wait doesnt ow1 just turn into ow2 though?

[bronze turtle]

^^

they gonna have to

[weak bolt]

OWL plays on a separate client though so they can keep it 6v6. But it doesn't matter anyway

They'll organise OWL around the OW2 release I'm sure

[bronze turtle]

probably yeah

[north relic]

does blizzard really care about owl?

[bronze turtle]

if they didn't there wouldn't be a owl

[weak bolt]

They wont change release date of OW2 for OWL, but they can plan an OWL season around the OW2 date

[north relic]

wonder how that would work

[bronze turtle]

alot of people suspect owl was delayed to April this year cause ow2

[weak bolt]

You could easily have some form of mini season or something if they need to fill a few months

[north relic]

when did owl start on other years?

[mortal cipher]

feb

[north relic]

maybe like a stage or two

[shadow ridge]

turret mvp

[mortal cipher]

valentine turret wot the

if vancouver win im done

[weak bolt]

Defiant looked strong yesterday, should be a pretty quick 3-0

[north relic]

linkzr torb will carry

[mortal cipher]

they beat the mayhem who got swept by the boston

[raw ermine]

busta nut

[mortal cipher]

lel

[woeful basin]

If what we’ve seen from London, Paris, and Toronto is true then they might

[ivory stag]

[devout path]

POTM

[astral juniper]

Based

[mortal cipher]

for sure

[mortal cipher]

those stats are insane

[trail perch]

Imsure they going to delay the start of the season

[devout path]

12 elims per 10 like wtf

[woeful basin]

well hopefully hungry vancouver gets breadsticks

[mortal cipher]

3k damage wot

[tawdry hamlet]

Oh hell yeah do we have custa casting?

[mortal cipher]

we had reinforce

now custa

[frank torrent]

Breadsticks is a trash meme tbh

[devout path]

This could be a good game I actually think Toronto is like a bottom 3 team now

[tawdry hamlet]

Johnny casting my beloved

[devout path]

In NA

[supple prism]

it takes 2 GM analysts to replace Bren

[mortal cipher]

is bren gone

[supple prism]

ill

throat issue

[mortal cipher]

oh i see

ouch

[tawdry hamlet]

Battle for Canada lmaoo

[mortal cipher]

more like the slaughter of canada

[woeful basin]

same. it dosent sound right saying it but paris are definitely better than toronto rn

[raw ermine]

https://im4.ezgif.com/tmp/ezgif-4-7336537f6043.gif

what the fuck is that aspect ratio

lol

[mortal cipher]

lol

[raw ermine]

that wasn't like that yesterday

makes it better

[mortal cipher]

wot was it

[weak bolt]

https://twitter.com/logixow/status/1409287846981165061

logix (@logixow)

battle of canada coming up

no breadsticks to be handed out, think we would struggle harder vs valentines torb turret than the entire @VancouverTitans team

https://t.co/UhiH8W1jDi

Twitter · Jun 27, 2021, 11:09 PM

Toxic Logix lol

[tawdry hamlet]

Mfw he's probably not even going to play

[mortal cipher]

lol

[woeful basin]

to be fair valentines turret is pretty op

[mortal cipher]

yeah

and vancouver is prtty bad

[woeful basin]

vancouver is definitely the worst na arm

atm

[tawdry hamlet]

[woeful basin]

no way their better than london paris or toronto

[mortal cipher]

yEah fir syre

london is for sure better

[tawdry hamlet]

Heesu walls > Linkzr walls lmaoo

[mortal cipher]

london actually improved

[weak bolt]

Paris/London dont give you a chance at breadsticks though 😄

[tawdry hamlet]

Mei dif

[mortal cipher]

oop

[tawdry hamlet]

[mortal cipher]

:notes\

[tawdry hamlet]

Wait I thought naist played mei

[weak bolt]

Titans just have such inflexible dps line

Linkzr on Mei is just do cursed

[mortal cipher]

yeah it wasnt it

[tawdry hamlet]

Support line is also the worst or second worst in the league

[mortal cipher]

second to valiant

[woeful basin]

i would say worst tbh

[supple prism]

only Linkzr is of any significance and thats only on hitscan

[mortal cipher]

or is lav actually good support

[tawdry hamlet]

Linkzr was always mid or upper mid at his peak like Logix but he's washed af now

[mortal cipher]

ah

[supple prism]

i dont think Linkzr cares to try hard anymore

[tawdry hamlet]

Dalton was actually really good in contenders he just hasn't been amazing in owl

[mortal cipher]

yeah

[supple prism]

there is many players like that

[woeful basin]

sounds like london for the first 2 tournaments

[balmy wolf]

common vancouver L

[woeful basin]

i honestly feel a bit bad for vancouver

their best hope for victory is paris or london

and their both doing really well now

[tawdry hamlet]

Frd is actually relatively ok, changsik idek what he's doing then supports need to go away. Teru and Dalton passable ditch Linkzr

[raw ermine]

aspire already has 50% ult charge

[tawdry hamlet]

Tbh they just need new supports

That's their first step imo

[mortal cipher]

well tracer ult charges fast

they did

[weak bolt]

Linkzr just seems boomed completely. He must really want that $50k and continuously lose than to retire

[woeful basin]

they did and it was amazing

linkr finally does something

[willow tartan]

linkzr yoooo

[tawdry hamlet]

Linkzr is such a classic

Like he started pro okay in 2016

[mortal cipher]

oh for sure

[tawdry hamlet]

Lollll

[willow tartan]

idk how ppl do that

[tawdry hamlet]

Roolf did something !

[willow tartan]

go pro within like the first few months of a game release

[tawdry hamlet]

Dalton !!! Hypercatjam

[willow tartan]

how the fuck do you miss a flashbang on a primal winston

biggest hitbox in the game

[mortal cipher]

its the titans

[tawdry hamlet]

Frd poggers

[woeful basin]

linkr is either popping off or being terrible

[willow tartan]

OWL teams in a nutshell

[mortal cipher]

yep

[mortal cipher]

some have a gift

[tawdry hamlet]

Telling you man Vancouver with a real shot calling main support could be so promising. Like they need a moth

[weak bolt]

Put Linkzr on a pure hitscan and dont swap him off. He can't play much other than Widow/Mcree

[plush grail]

https://tenor.com/view/grass-gif-20975775

[tawdry hamlet]

Imo fire is just the worst main support in the league

[balmy wolf]

winnable for vancoover?

[tawdry hamlet]

But it's super close with kellex

[plush grail]

but he looks like a cool guy :(

[tawdry hamlet]

He does yeah loll

[woeful basin]

just by appearance he dosent seem like the kind of guy to play overwatch for a living

[tawdry hamlet]

Vestola frd and molf have all showed up this week

[plush grail]

all of the titans except for like roolf and linkzr look chill

[tawdry hamlet]

Aspire fister

[balmy wolf]

shredlock > changsik

[woeful basin]

do you think vancouver this season will be the new season 1 dragons?

[balmy wolf]

yes

[tawdry hamlet]

They should have got pokpo when they got the other 2 Atlanta players

[balmy wolf]

linkzr washed up

[woeful basin]

at the moment i don’t see them winning against anyone

[mortal cipher]

not even they can get that many losses

[weak bolt]

Titans best hope is for a Widow/Tracer meta so they can put Linkzr/Tracer on their best heroes and pray

[arctic yew]

but pretty much everyone other team has a good hitscan or tracer player

every*

[tough coral]

linkzr going mei was just a bad idea

[mortal cipher]

yeah

[arctic yew]

yes

[weak bolt]

Those are the only 2 real heroes that I could see Linkzr/Dalton being able to dps diff another team

[tough coral]

im rooting for toronto but i feel bad for vancouver lmao

[woeful basin]

you know vancouver are bad when the chat talks more about bren passing away from bofa then the actual match

[tough coral]

LMAO

FR

[mortal cipher]

wots bofa

[weak bolt]

I dont get why Teru is not playing Mei over Linkzr

[arctic yew]

@weak bolt or tracer cree

[woeful basin]

“My dearest chat, it is my sad responsibility to inform you that Bren has passed away due to complications of bofa”

[mortal cipher]

lol

[arctic yew]

lol

[tough coral]

i just feel bad for vancouver they cannot win lmao

[mortal cipher]

breadstick based starvation lol

[arctic yew]

feels bad for Vancouver fans

[tough coral]

fr

[mortal cipher]

yeah

[weak bolt]

Do Vancouver have many fans since the org dicked them about so much?

[arctic yew]

what happened

[tough coral]

like vancouver isnt all bad like roolf is actually really good

[woeful basin]

tbh vancouver are worse this season than last season. the only good player that they had was shockwave and he’s on fusion now

[balmy wolf]

fire roolf

[tough coral]

roolf doesnt fit on that team

[woeful basin]

london and vancouver have a similar situation. they had a really good hitscan player that was their star that went to one of the top teams

[balmy wolf]

they should get a new Roster

keep teru though

teru is cool

[frank torrent]

Is Pine playing this tourney?

[woeful basin]

teru deserves better

[mortal cipher]

maybe

[tough coral]

What team is pine even on?

[frank torrent]

Fuel

[tough coral]

Makes sense

I wanna see him play

[mortal cipher]

yeah he did a widow 1v1

in june

[woeful basin]

that was in the east tho

[tough coral]

especially with the current stats of the heros he plays

[weak bolt]

Getting a new roster, but just pay them minimum salary, have a shit org setup/reputation and being a bad reputation team :p

[tough coral]

eichanwalde gonna go hard

[arctic yew]

yes

[woeful basin]

especially the music

[tough coral]

linkzr needs to be signed to a new team

wasted potential

[arctic yew]

Vancouver needs a new tank line at least

[woeful basin]

which team would want him?

[weak bolt]

Linkzr has always been too streaky for a good team

[tough coral]

Yeah that is true.

[weak bolt]

His highs are exceptional, but consistency has always been an issue for him

[arctic yew]

How long has Linkzr been playing?

[weak bolt]

Linkzr has been around for years, pre-owl

[arctic yew]

Might be time for him to retire then

[tough coral]

Heres been playing since the game came out i heared

[arctic yew]

dang

wow

[tough coral]

maybe not the day but still

[arctic yew]

his mental health must be at an all time low

[weak bolt]

He's a good veteran presence and likely willing to take the minimum salary now. Probably worth it for Titans

[raw ermine]

I will legit get breadsticks if they do give them away

[tough coral]

FUCK DEFIANT LETS GO TITANS!

[mortal cipher]

they dont even need to win

[arctic yew]

lol

[mortal cipher]

sad its only for canada

[tough coral]

canada v canada

[raw ermine]

still a defiant fan but man wants breadsticks

lol

[arctic yew]

why Linkzr on mei?

[mortal cipher]

yeah but the breadsticks is for canada

[tough coral]

i've been a defiant fan since day 1, i went to see their first game too.

[weak bolt]

Linkzr Critical kill there

[mortal cipher]

noice

[tough coral]

linkzr shouldnt be on mei rn.

[woeful basin]

out of the regional rivalries (battle for texas, battle for california, battle of the zhous, etc) the battle for canada is the least exciting

[tough coral]

but he has alt so that'l be big

[tough coral]

fr lmao

[weak bolt]

Battle of Canada, they're too nice to have smack talk

[arctic yew]

@woeful basin agreed

[ivory stag]

moiras the only ult for healers that heals and damages yea?

[mortal cipher]

becaue its a slaughter

wots the battle for zhous

[woeful basin]

yes bc it’s moira

[ivory stag]

eww

[woeful basin]

guangzhou vs hangzhou

[weak bolt]

Ana ult arguably heals and dps's I guess

[mortal cipher]

oh i see

[tough coral]

i mean lucio, ana, mercy, bap

[woeful basin]

i know they aren’t in the same region but they have similar names

[arctic yew]

@ivory stag bap

[tough coral]

lastro is so hot

[mortal cipher]

yeah thays charge v soark right

[ivory stag]

lucios ult does not dmg lol ana and baps alone doesnt either it takes action of other heroes

[woeful basin]

yes

[mortal cipher]

ight

[tough coral]

they are all used to contribute to damage

[woeful basin]

but the ults themselves don’t do damage

[tough coral]

i see what u meant

[ivory stag]

like moira you can technically ult and take ur hands of keyboard and if someone is in line they die

[raw ermine]

dammit sado

just fall off

[ivory stag]

where as window alone or nano on someone not doing damage doesnt

[raw ermine]

breadstick progress

[weak bolt]

Another Linkzr Critical kill

Thats 2/3 this map

[woeful basin]

where was heesu

[raw ermine]

gahhhhhhhh

[arctic yew]

@woeful basin "Gone, reduced to atoms."

[raw ermine]

no OT

nice

[woeful basin]

nice

[arctic yew]

Nope

[woeful basin]

why do the places on the map have such king names

[mortal cipher]

not likely or possible

[mortal cipher]

wdym

[woeful basin]

what is gebiegsinfanteriebataillon?

[mortal cipher]

well its a german map and a castle so...

i mean the map it eichvalde

[woeful basin]

i know but the name is so long

[mortal cipher]

yeah theres the germanic language for you

whered you see that anyway

[woeful basin]

i think it’s mainly germans

[mortal cipher]

yeah

its german

where was the name on the map

[woeful basin]

it was on the right

[mortal cipher]

oh

[woeful basin]

it’s on the strategy map thing in the attackers spawn

[mortal cipher]

ohh

[woeful basin]

that they showed for 3 seconds between the two attacks

[mortal cipher]

AH

[woeful basin]

the tactical crouch

[ivory stag]

aspire toxic

[mortal cipher]

LOL

[woeful basin]

changsik looks so done

[ivory stag]

cause he is playing with a bunch of masters players

[woeful basin]

do you think valiant or vancouver could win a game if they combined together and played a 12v6 or would they still lose

[weak bolt]

well yeah 12v6 would be totally OP and easy

[frank granite]

really???

[woeful basin]

honestly with how vancouver and valiant are doing it would still be 5 maps

[weak bolt]

Both teams just have super weak main tanks and main supports, which is costing them massively

[woeful basin]

do you think vancouver will ever get back to the level they were at before?

[weak bolt]

No

The org clearly doesn't want to invest money into OWL, that has been clear since they stopped caring during S2

[woeful basin]

true they’ve barely made any effort in improving their team

i bet the only reason those players are still here are bc of the money

[weak bolt]

These players are here as they wont get a shot anywhere else

[woeful basin]

i mean they could go to contenders

[weak bolt]

and earn what? contenders doesn't pay you $50k a year

[upper niche]

SwItCh oFf SoMbRaAaaAaaahhh! 😄

I can hear it already

[willow tartan]

dudee

fire so baddd

[weak bolt]

Titans decision making just awful

[earnest leaf]

How did florida lose

[weak bolt]

Torb Turret OP

Boston just played very well, and OGE fed quite hard

[upper niche]

Mirror matchup???

[mortal cipher]

this is just sad

[upper niche]

I didn't realise Sombra Hanzo Winston Ana was a mirror to Torb McCree Rein Bap

[ivory stag]

this gonna be a 3-0 for sure

[mortal cipher]

oh most defintely

[mortal cipher]

my god

[frank torrent]

massive brig diff

[ivory stag]

masters ranked titans

[weak bolt]

Fire wasting so many rallies

[mortal cipher]

and thats a wrap

[hollow river]

i feel so sad about vancouver

every week is the same

[woeful basin]

after the other 2 namatches this was a snooze fest

[ivory stag]

if i was changsik id quit find a better team

[weak bolt]

Titans have been such a shit org, I'm not fussed if they dont win all season

[mortal cipher]

the only not shocking one

[weak bolt]

What team would pick up Changsik? He's not played OW for like 2 years, and hasn't looked good when back

[ivory stag]

spitfire?

lol they look better than titans do for sure

[weak bolt]

Why would Spitfire want him, that makes 0 sense for them

[ivory stag]

you asked for what team i gave one

[mortal cipher]

true

[woeful basin]

From WOW THAT REVERSE SWEEP WAS SO FOOD and WHAT BOSTON IS INCREDIBLE to oh Vancouver lost as always

[weak bolt]

Hadi is far better, and even their academy tank Helv is better

[ivory stag]

hadi ony looked good on orisa

[mortal cipher]

yeah prtty sad a nice reverse sweep to insane sweep to the smae thing

prtty sad

[lone oak]

what is you're opinion on this esports im kind of bored

[earnest leaf]

So i got both na preds wrong

But got both double point preds right

[devout path]

That’s a shit move

[mortal cipher]

yeah

[earnest leaf]

My apac preds are carrying me

[barren quest]

Still no breadsticks

[devout path]

You literally haven’t played on a team since 2019

[earnest leaf]

Even though I don't watch apac

[mortal cipher]

noice

[devout path]

Take the paycheck and leave

[lone oak]

ok

[woeful basin]

Where would he go

[devout path]

Nowhere

No one would pick up him

[mortal cipher]

so far only 2 wrong

[devout path]

No contenders teams want him

[devout path]

Did titans get sweeped I stopped watching

[mortal cipher]

ja

[barren quest]

Yes

[woeful basin]

Yea

[mortal cipher]

as always

[devout path]

Understandable

[mortal cipher]

[willow tartan]

vancouver made sado sleepy zzz

[mortal cipher]

lol

[lone oak]

idk tbh im lost

[mortal cipher]

how

[upper niche]

Paris breaking my PickEms today 😦

[hollow bough]

oge didnt look great

[upper niche]

Boston too actually. All in all my PickEms sucked.

[fast tusk]

everyones was off today

[hollow bough]

i didnt expect paris to win, especially against glads

[fast tusk]

except for titan

[raw ermine]

I think I lost 1st place in this server's pickems sadge

[hollow bough]

this was a good day for titan

[earnest leaf]

My titans pred was right atleast lol

[hollow bough]

[upper niche]

At least I got 6 points from TOR v VAN

[raw ermine]

I always vote Boston

Last season also?

[sullen berry]

#824787193754681375 message so does limmy, this is so cursed

Maybe that's what you're into

Bit of a shame that teams effectively only play 16 regular-season matches this season. That's down from 40 in 2018 and 28 in 2019 :/

GAYBUSSY]

[balmy wolf]

vancouver is starving

[kind ridge]

maybe not

they play london will they

[north relic]

If London can get two maps off shock they can beat Titans

[worn falcon]

Shock in shambles

[mortal cipher]

oh most definetly

also the paris v london was close

[devout path]

London and paris are either feeding off of teams not practicing for them or they’re really good now

One is more likely

[mortal cipher]

i think it could be a bit of both honestly

i mean paris is already decent and sparkr helped londons confidence for sure

[dark hedge]

Wait paris is basically locked into the tournament now lmao

[earnest leaf]

yep

[dark hedge]

They play shock and vancouver next week

[earnest leaf]

unless they omega choke and lose to shock and titans

[dark hedge]

Lmao

[earnest leaf]

but 3-1 is a gurantee

[dark hedge]

Ye

[earnest leaf]

4-0 if everything goes right

[stuck radish]

just saw the results

what the fuck is this tournament man

boston sweeps florida

paris beats glads

shock almost loses to london

at this point toronto beating vancouver is surprising

[balmy wolf]

gonna be bonkers if paris is actually top 3 in NA

[tropic herald]

I’m a little hesitant to pull results for na from this weekend

The results were a little too chaotic

[lunar wagon]

Bro I kinda feel like London is garbage their my favorite team hut they do not b winning

[tropic herald]

idk if anyone posted this but holy shit

frdwnr (6’5) (@frdwnr)

pretty easy 2 swing down, but you havent played in awhile and the only map you did play you lost to the worst team in na. i know you tweeted this for some clicks bro, but maybe next time win the singular map you play all season before you talk shit 💯😈 https://t.co/5StYiA8DG3

[tropic herald]

unsurprised

[balmy wolf]

yea the only reason he played was because the previous coach didnt know how to coach properly

[tropic herald]

i said this somewhere

but the benched koreans on spark after pajion left are just gonna get dropped

[balmy wolf]

who are the benched ones?

[tropic herald]

godsb, takoyaki, sms until recently

[balmy wolf]

well i wouldnt drop them, not sms anyway

having a backup is always nice to have

shy is too good to not be sub out on hitscan so it makes sense

[tropic herald]

tako is not getting played over guxue

neither is godsb

[balmy wolf]

well at least tako wasnt as bad as nosmite

the MT stuck in 2016

[tropic herald]

idek think tako is bad

i dont think hes good either

just no sample size

[gusty rampart]

Ngl

I think Paris will beat Shock

[earnest leaf]

I don't think so tbh

Glads played no where near as well as they did vs shock

glads just did a fat choke

And it's week 1, the most chaotic one

[gusty rampart]

I do think Paris has what it takes

[earnest leaf]

they do have the potential to beat shock, although I think a week of preparation and knowing paris is a team to be careful of, will be enough for shock to figure out what to do

Especially if they run the dive comp with all koreans/nero

[forest raven]

@gusty rampart Have you seen the new haircut

[gusty rampart]

Oh shit

Lay it on me

I looked at it

[forest raven]

[gusty rampart]

[forest raven]

[gusty rampart]

My pickems cried today

[forest raven]

The Gladiators still don't have a meaningful win under their belt

[gusty rampart]

At least Titans vs Defiant was double points luckily

[gusty rampart]

[forest raven]

I'm a Shock fan

[gusty rampart]

Same here

Speculation and debate (and criticism) about roster moves are part of fandom but here are facts: we have held trials to find ways to improve our team and will continue to do so, but we have not offered OWL contracts to (or even discussed terms with) any new players

[idle gorge]

are the mayhem just not that great or wete toronto good against them last weekend

[south summit]

london almost beat san fran smh

this yr is crazy

[idle gorge]

i think i had shock win 3-0 in my predictions

[willow tartan]

tfw you were waiting for apac day 3 but there is no day 3

[upper niche]

TBH mid-season roster moves are one of the shittest things about OWL.

It should be that two weeks before the first match, teams are final. That's it for the year. If you decide to start out with 7 players and then run in to problems, that's on you.

[mortal abyss]

[hot onyx]

nnnnnnNNNNNOOOOOO

[hot onyx]

Wait a minute

Takoyaki to the Charge?

Charge signs a real main tank maybe!?

[plush grail]

Ew sans has regular

[hot onyx]

Has regular intercourse with your mother

[plush grail]

power ranking time

also ignore apac

i barely watch apac

[balmy wolf]

mayhem ass

shock too high

paris too low

[plush grail]

wait fuck yeah i forgot

mayhem on a losing streak

shock losing to glads and map 5 with london

fixed

dallas obvious #1

atlanta houston and shock have a shot at winning it all imo

glads, florida could be top tier but shit results

justice and boston also low because they're too streaky

they're either top tier or shit

[plush grail]

not could, but should**

[balmy wolf]

pr rn

for ss not for the whole season

[plush grail]

remember when paris struggled against the titans

lmao

[balmy wolf]

i do

shit meta for them

they struggle in dive

a rush meta favors them heavily

[plush grail]

also imagine being a glads fan lmao

u beat the shock

then lose to paris

[balmy wolf]

glads fans malding

[plush grail]

EU DIFF

[balmy wolf]

kevster on mei is a throw

[plush grail]

i cant wait for the kevster fanboys to start hyping him up again

[balmy wolf]

birdring on sombra

[plush grail]

like no bro

naga onigod > birdring kevster

just shut up

[balmy wolf]

ppl told me im braindead for saying birdrings sombra is weak

i laugh now

[plush grail]

la glads dps line is all hype

they're really not anything special

[balmy wolf]

they excell on ceartain heroes

[plush grail]

still crazy how a team like the glads

got FUCKED by a pharmercy

like can a team with 2 former champions not beat pharmercy

[balmy wolf]

didnt expect it

dpei coaching cant counter

[plush grail]

tbf it was a pretty good strat

they were playing sym mei

[noble nexus]

haha imagine that

🙂

[plush grail]

la glads can not grasp the concept of a counter strategy

[balmy wolf]

hahaha

aged like poopoo

[plush light]

Kevser was better without a face

[noble nexus]

all I'm saying is

paris have a coach

[noble nexus]

I stand by that

fuck paris

and fuck dpei

[balmy wolf]

paris fans are chads

[plush grail]

i started supporting paris because EU boys

[noble nexus]

stop stroking his ego

smh

[plush grail]

and now i get to bully glads fans

get fucked

[plush light]

Hot take - valiant will win it all

[noble nexus]

cold cake

[plush grail]

@noble nexus naga is on pharah in ur backline, what do u do

[plush light]

My pick to win it all is ans solo carrying shock on widow

[noble nexus]

cry because I'm being coached by dpei

the only reasonable reaction

[plush grail]

tbh i wanna know

was the pharah switch a strat from the coaches

or just a quick strat from the players

[noble nexus]

pharmercy is a corny, crutch strat

even in ranked

I can't stand that shit

[plush grail]

bro u had sombra for like 2/3 of that game

[noble nexus]

yeah sombra is a corny crutch strat too

[plush light]

Why didn't anyone play widow on junkertown?

In the shock glads game

[plush grail]

no idea

maybe because they felt they were super even so it'd be a 50/50 fight

also i love this long motivating tweet after they beat shock

and after they lose to paris, radio silence

[mortal abyss]

Apparently daan called to swap to that comp

[plush grail]

what a chad

pog https://youtube.com/clip/Ugz0huM_DxV9HD8qBa14AaABCQ

[little tusk]

bro who here said paris was a low tier team

extreme chofling

paris eternal for summer showdown lets go

[sour marlin]

Hi ppl

Who wanna talk

[next mesa]

Dpei is literally trash

[vagrant cargo]

choking exists

[raw ermine]

oooooooof

[tribal canopy]

Did he even play?

[raw ermine]

nah

lol

[tribal canopy]

Wow

[astral juniper]

[raw ermine]

he was the OG shade thrower on TD before aspire did it to the enemy tracers

[noble nexus]

he's permabenched

[raw ermine]

behind heesu na1st and aspire

[tawdry hamlet]

We should take the best roster in the world, give them dpei and imt as head coaches

And see what the hell happens

[next mesa]

Somehow lose

[plush grail]

i mean imt is way more impressive

managed to lose with the 2020 nyxl team

2020 nyxl was filled with top tier talent

given proper coaching they could dumpster any team

[next mesa]

Idk

They don't have a top hitscan

And anamo is anamo

[plush grail]

anamo is super passive

and they could for sure have made sbb, libero and nenne cover the dps

the real question tho

who wins

2020 boston, 0-40 shanghai or year long losing streak london???

[raw ermine]

this london RN is best obv

they nearly beat sfs

0-40 drags are worst

[plush grail]

still lost

[raw ermine]

true but 2020 boston couldn't nor could 2018 shanghai

[feral zodiac]

2020 boston

Iirc shanghai had players who could barely get gm in ranked

[dark hedge]

did 2020 boston go winless

[balmy wolf]

^no

[dark hedge]

who did they beat

[trail perch]

glads once

and like

ummmm

idr

[barren quest]

How did you forget about the greatest game of all time

Boston vs Houston

[trail perch]

Shit they won that?

I thought jecse carried oasis hard enough

didnt he deadlift or sm shit

[barren quest]

They didn't win the last map on Lijiang

[trail perch]

Which map was oasis?

That series was a blur

[barren quest]

Iirc it was map 6

[trail perch]

Was that the one where they kept swapping flex supports?

[ivory stag]

Remember that one time Glads lost KEKW

[hot onyx]

I have Richard

Oops wrong server

[shadow dagger]

lmfao

[noble nexus]

lmfao

[feral zodiac]

Boston beating Houston was iconic

Fusions hog is goated

[trail perch]

was it tho...

That was one of the least enjoyable matches to watch ever

Danteh looked literally dead

Blase tank was just

And hydration pharah wasnt explosive

It was a honest sleeper match

[willow tartan]

the best worst match was the paris eternal vs atlanta reign week 28

[trail perch]

Was that saucy junk?

and edison bastion?

bastion sym shit

[willow tartan]

tp bastion o7

[balmy wolf]

oh no

im getting flashbacks

[trail perch]

why did atlanta sign saucy to play genji?

Mans was a hitscan player

[balmy wolf]

idk man

[trail perch]

why did shock sign ta1yo to play genji

[balmy wolf]

he was rolling in contendies

[trail perch]

mans was a hitscan player

[balmy wolf]

and gets put on fdps

[trail perch]

why did carpe play genji against NYXL

Mans is a hitscan player

What is with hitscan players thinking they can play genji

if only paris had taken zholik instead of neptuno, then their record would be even better

[trail perch]

I miss old third impact

if only vanc went through and signed them

[tawdry hamlet]

tbh, Paris has good coach and good manager, but their org itself sucks ass.

[trail perch]

Avalla, GetAmazed, Jmac?

and last year Rush and NineK

[vagrant cargo]

Carpe used to be a goated genji lol

[trail perch]

in APEX

[vagrant cargo]

Brad himself said saucy is a fdps

[tawdry hamlet]

goes budget with one of the best rosters in the league and sells it, passes on better options for lackluster veterans way past their prime

[trail perch]

back when alarm played MT

[vagrant cargo]

Yeah but it still makes sense

[trail perch]

ON BK STARS

[vagrant cargo]

He akso played it in S1 and did well

[balmy wolf]

????

[trail perch]

Why does that matter now

[vagrant cargo]

Because hes used to the hero

[balmy wolf]

saucy played hitscan in contenders

[vagrant cargo]

He also plays it a ton in ranked

[trail perch]

in what world

do we trust brad

Look at s3 atlanta

[tawdry hamlet]

saucy had saucy tire, hence why I know he is a flex

[vagrant cargo]

I mean id trust brad more than u

Lol

[trail perch]

Its obvious he didnt know what he was doing

[vagrant cargo]

But u do?

[tawdry hamlet]

Saucy tire was a legendary occasion

[trail perch]

He had Gator, Hawk, Edison, erster, Masaa, and Lris

And somehow managed to flop

[vagrant cargo]

I agree vrad is a shit coach yeah but he still knows worlds more than us

[balmy wolf]

erster was not helping at all

we had no fdps the whole season

[trail perch]

Erster was still cracked whenever he got playtime

Before covid

[vagrant cargo]

He wasnt after may melee

[trail perch]

On the mei

Yeah cause he was barely played

[vagrant cargo]

After the paris L he just went downhill

[tawdry hamlet]

never forget

that was his first tire btw

[balmy wolf]

F

[vagrant cargo]

Saucy was always bad

Even on hs he wssnt special

He was just a Bastion reaper 2 Trick

[balmy wolf]

and zarya

he was cracked on zarya

[trail perch]

His tracer was ok if i remember, he was just on the same team as sugarfree

[balmy wolf]

man i want lenny on atlanta

[balmy wolf]

but we have pelican now

[vagrant cargo]

Sugarfree kinda overrated

[balmy wolf]

idc

[trail perch]

NTB ik u are a massive fan of ow and watch everything

ur takes are just so bad sometimes

[vagrant cargo]

Idk how aspire got potm vs mayhem

[tawdry hamlet]

when you go pro in two games by 15 you are going to be a little overrated I would think

[balmy wolf]

lenny is lenny

[vagrant cargo]

Ok mr lerjaegon was a elite mercy in playoffs because of stats 😭😭

[trail perch]

Leejaegon is an elite mercy

[vagrant cargo]

Or mr im smarter than brad

[trail perch]

I will stand by that

[vagrant cargo]

He is good now yeah

But he wasnt in playoffs

[trail perch]

And Brad is dumb as hell

[tawdry hamlet]

Reinforce is the new Ancient Aliens guy

[vagrant cargo]

Litetally sent u timestamps where he inted and u just said no

[balmy wolf]

ljg was ass in playoffs

[vagrant cargo]

And said but stats! When fdgod was statwise one of the bedt mercys and moth lower half lmfaoo

[balmy wolf]

one of the reason shanghai underperformed

[vagrant cargo]

Ur an average plat chat andy idk where u get the ego to tell me my takes are bad

[trail perch]

Im literally not plat first of all

second of all they are

[vagrant cargo]

Plat or diamond or masters isnt a big siff

Diff

[trail perch]

Sugarfree is like WHORU but still good

Also masters and plat are pretty diff

[vagrant cargo]

Hes good but ppl overhype him

[balmy wolf]

no

[vagrant cargo]

Nah its only a mechanical diff

[tawdry hamlet]

the only bad take I have seen ntb have is having faith in gladiators despite dpei being the coach

[balmy wolf]

lol

he s a fan

bias

[tawdry hamlet]

I know it was a joke lolll

[balmy wolf]

btw glads still doing fine

[vagrant cargo]

Tbf some of my takes are also not rlly serious regarding glads

I think we top 3 NA fosho tho

[trail perch]

LMAO

[vagrant cargo]

Paris match was a slipup it happebs

[balmy wolf]

yeah

[vagrant cargo]

Happens*

[trail perch]

Getting reverse swept by paris

[vagrant cargo]

Paris played well

[balmy wolf]

paris pretty good

[vagrant cargo]

Glads choked

It happens

Shanghai got swept by spark

[trail perch]

Ig we'll see

[vagrant cargo]

Philly lost to NYXL

[trail perch]

WJ and Dallas havent played yet

Neither has houston

[balmy wolf]

but we can alll agree that atlanta is the second best team in na

[vagrant cargo]

Dallas lost to houston in week 1 justice list 3-0 to boston

[tawdry hamlet]

https://twitter.com/frdwnr/status/1409328877646667778?s=20

frdwnr (6’5) (@frdwnr)

pretty easy 2 swing down, but you havent played in awhile and the only map you did play you lost to the worst team in na. i know you tweeted this for some clicks bro, but maybe next time win the singular map you play all season before you talk shit 💯😈 https://t.co/5StYiA8DG3

I missed this yesterday hehe

[vagrant cargo]

How u gonna make fun of paris for that when EVERY top NA team had literal off weeks

Of glads*

[trail perch]

we'll see during the playoffs

[vagrant cargo]

if shangjai loses to philly u wont escape

Imma rub it in every chance i get ong

[trail perch]

Im a spark fan not shanghai

I just like LJG

[balmy wolf]

shanghai prob will lose to philly rn

[vagrant cargo]

Even worse LMFAO

[trail perch]

Yep

We choked against NY

It sucks

[vagrant cargo]

3-0ed by NYXL 💀

[trail perch]

Shhhhhhhhhhhh

[vagrant cargo]

Thats not choking yall got rolled

[trail perch]

We pretend it never happened

[willow tartan]

shanghai either gets swept or doesnt lose

This is the law.

[trail perch]

They legally have to get swept every stage

chengdu

Spark

[balmy wolf]

1 sweep per stage

[trail perch]

Philly

then Valiant

cmon make it happen

[willow tartan]

shanghai gets swept on their second game of every stage

so it should be philly

[balmy wolf]

im genius

[vagrant cargo]

I hope its philly

But i also pray carpe shockwave start full time

[willow tartan]

besides, shanghai has to lose at least one game

[trail perch]

I was bullied out of the Fuel discord for saying profit was the GOAT

[vagrant cargo]

This season hss been such a big W for european talent

[balmy wolf]

if rush is really meta

[willow tartan]

4-0 is cursed

no 4-0 team ever wins

[vagrant cargo]

Good

[balmy wolf]

philly has an advantage

[vagrant cargo]

Profit is no way near the goat after his inconsitency in S3 and playoffs of S2

[trail perch]

and look at him now

Still on top

[vagrant cargo]

GOAT that hasnt won stuff since S1

Eh

[trail perch]

Second place in s3

[vagrant cargo]

Id ssy jes slowly climbing back

[trail perch]

Is not winnin nothing

[vagrant cargo]

It is

[trail perch]

mei melee finals

[vagrant cargo]

Second place is not a title

[balmy wolf]

profit is high mid

[vagrant cargo]

Then carpe is the goat

[vagrant cargo]

Ur so based

[balmy wolf]

lol

[willow tartan]

at least seoul didnt go 0-6 during the grand finals

[balmy wolf]

its just true

[trail perch]

profit is top top

[vagrant cargo]

Nah

He aint even top 5

[trail perch]

his tracer is THE best rn

[willow tartan]

true

[vagrant cargo]

LMFAO

[trail perch]

Decay is the onlu other acceptable option

[vagrant cargo]

he had one series vs chengdu calm down

[trail perch]

dont u dare say leave

[balmy wolf]

best tracer?

what

[willow tartan]

his tracer performance so far has been top

[vagrant cargo]

I need to see more of him he was shite cs chengdu in may melee qualifiers except blizz world

And in total he didnt hace many special tracer performances

[willow tartan]

LIP tracer also kind of epic

fkd in the may melee

[vagrant cargo]

Anyways 5 fdps better than profit:
Fleta Leave Pelican Kevster Yaki

Id pick sp9rk1e over him as well

[balmy wolf]

in apac only theres lip leave and shy who are better

[willow tartan]

i would not put yaki over profit

r u crazy

[vagrant cargo]

Architecht as well

[balmy wolf]

nah

[vagrant cargo]

Yaki has been mayhems best player ever match

[vagrant cargo]

Architecht mad underrated

[balmy wolf]

yaki is great

[trail perch]

Yaki good

[balmy wolf]

not on mei tho

[trail perch]

profit better

[willow tartan]

^

[balmy wolf]

kevster syndrom

[vagrant cargo]

And the true hypercarry of seoul isnt profit its fits

[trail perch]

how r the mayhem doing rn????

[vagrant cargo]

Also profits mei isnt that great either

[balmy wolf]

my man

[willow tartan]

the hyper carry is gesture because if gesture doesnt feed then seoul wins

[trail perch]

Profit mei getting MUCH better

Since s2

[vagrant cargo]

Then i guess decay was garbage in S3

[willow tartan]

dude

[vagrant cargo]

Because dallas had a ecen worsw record

[willow tartan]

decay played like

4 games bro

[trail perch]

The only diff is decay won matches for them

[vagrant cargo]

What a stupid logic jesus christ

So did yaki

They are 4-5

[trail perch]

Which ones

Where yaki solo carry

[vagrant cargo]

He literally got them to may melee 🥱😭😭

[trail perch]

i can point to dallas games that decay solo carried

[balmy wolf]

yaki is the best tracer

[willow tartan]

no

[balmy wolf]

with decay

[vagrant cargo]

Nah tvere is no such thing as solo carrie in OWL

Thats not how OW works

[trail perch]

Look at Dallas vs Valiant

s3

[vagrant cargo]

U can carrie but theres always team effort

[willow tartan]

teru blade 1v6

[trail perch]

Im p sure week 8 or 9

[vagrant cargo]

Doha played well thar match

[trail perch]

Look at glister

[vagrant cargo]

Gamsu held his own vs dreamer

[trail perch]

Deadlifting

[vagrant cargo]

Thats one play i mran matches

If u talk abt london

Sanguinar

Highly on bap

Bernar

[trail perch]

Yeah but a deadlift is a deadlift

[vagrant cargo]

Altough

[willow tartan]

decay carried washington justice through the playoffs

unironically

boosted

[balmy wolf]

no

[trail perch]

Im p sure schwi and clestyn where there at the time

[balmy wolf]

it was the meta

[vagrant cargo]

Clestyn played 5 maps

Or something

[balmy wolf]

they figured it first

[vagrant cargo]

Schwi was ass

[trail perch]

Yeah
