and another good team to beat a mid tier team

#

well deny them any maps

#

but who knows, justice could go snag koth really quick and it would over for shock

devout path
#

Justice mid tier?

earnest leaf
#

yes

forest raven
#

I feel like either Glads sweeps Justice

#

Or their mental booms

#

And they get fucked

earnest leaf
#

beat a bunch of mid tier teams, and beat dallas when dallas was weak

north relic
earnest leaf
#

justice

north relic
#

Since when did they lose to shock

forest raven
#

The Journament

earnest leaf
#

last week in the june joust

north relic
#

Oh yea

earnest leaf
#

with the monkey moira stuff

north relic
#

I thought the Florida match was the recent one

earnest leaf
#

this site isn't updated for summer showdown matches

#

so it's missing their london/florida/reign matches

tacit skiff
#

like how fans of owl like to shit on bottom-mid tier team players when they are still literally the best of the best of overwatch players and destroy in the ranked ladder

#

case in point, Valentine hit rank 1 dps not too long ago, but people still want to trash talk his performance this season because of a few couple bad matches

devout path
#

Valentine is literally playing so well rn

forest raven
#

Uh oh

#

Salty Boston fan

tacit skiff
#

This isn't just a Boston problem

devout path
#

Valentine is literally cracked

north relic
#

Uh oh grandpa said some nono words

tacit skiff
#

People hate on Danteh because of this shame issue

devout path
#

Ppl call London shit then realized they absolutely dominated the best European players in the world forever

forest raven
#

So do you not want the casters or analysts to talk about players when they fuck up or get rolled?

#

Just

#

No one's allowed to say anything bad about anyone in OWL because they're not better than them at ow

tacit skiff
#

she was so good at the game, people accused her of cheating

forest raven
#

In 2016

tacit skiff
#

this was the 2018 season

forest raven
#

She was accused of cheating from those idiots in 2016/early 2017

earnest leaf
#

geguri was good but nothing special in context of owl

#

and yea i'll shit on mid tier teams lol

devout path
forest raven
#

I'll shit on London, Vancouver, Valiant all day long

#

I'll even shit on teams like Washington because they can't get it together with an all star roster

tacit skiff
#

These players are in owl for a reason, they know what they're doing
owl teams fail because of lack of communication and team coordination
hence, why the shock have done so well the past two seasons, but teams like London, Vancouver, and the Valiant, have had all new rosters several times
London is seemingly in the best spot of the three because almost every player on London were working together in Contenders

earnest leaf
#

Teams also fall down in certain parts due to individual players being poor in context of owl

tacit skiff
#

Valiant's org, not players, deserve all the hate

earnest leaf
#

sure they can hit 4500 and stomp ladder, but that's ladder

#

But there are for sure players that just aren't great in certain things

#

Fearless, one of the best tanks struggles on orisa

forest raven
#

Colourhex hits top 10 every season on like two accounts

devout path
#

As long as you aren’t sending death threats or actively threatening the players/org idc

forest raven
#

He fucking doesn't do shit in owl

tacit skiff
#

He's hard benched

forest raven
#

And when he played he was shit

tacit skiff
#

Valentine and IM37 are much better together

#

I think Colourhex has a hard time with team coordination

devout path
#

Im37 is bad

earnest leaf
#

also hadi is a tank in the league pepeLaugh

#

and changsik

forest raven
#

THIS SHATTER NEEDS TO BE GARGANTUAN

tacit skiff
#

He hasn't really impressed me with any of his playtime

earnest leaf
#

and silver3

forest raven
#

AND ITS NOT

earnest leaf
#

and daan but daan gets points for more leadership

devout path
forest raven
#

EU contenders OMEGALUL

earnest leaf
#

yea but that was eu contenders

devout path
#

That’s just how big the level up is

tacit skiff
#

I think that Paris is a good example of a team doing well with a native roster

#

They're doing relatively good this season

#

Especially after losing Sp9rkle

forest raven
#

Paris completely rebuilt for this year my guy

tacit skiff
#

Why do you think I said a native roster

earnest leaf
#

paris has been doing better lately, but nothing impressive

tacit skiff
#

Big difference from previous seasons

earnest leaf
#

only decent thing was beating glads but glads did a little bit of throwing

forest raven
#

Glads' mental game is trash

earnest leaf
#

dpei as their coach is not the best of things

tacit skiff
#

I'm glad it's officially known who the better LA team is now

forest raven
#

Wdym

#

There's only one LA team

tawdry hamlet
sullen berry
#

Did you mean to say Cali

#

Shock and Gladiators

#

Valiant having a foreign exchange trip and defected to China

willow tartan
#

americatown

tawdry hamlet
#

how tf you going to know more about the game than someone who has played it 8 hours a day for three years straight and has won two world titles

forest raven
#

There's a difference between reporters in the scene and coaches Hmm

tawdry hamlet
#

just seems like a high horse she is getting on for no reason and with no actual performance to back it up other than generic articles on roster moves

next mesa
#

That take is actually pretty wack

tawdry hamlet
#

and if it isn't bait it really makes me question things, because a silver could say bastion is op, but a gm would say he isn't, and factually he isn't, hmm

willow tartan
#

idk but what i do know is sideshow is gold somehow

#

so knowledge about the game does not necessarily equate to more SR

tawdry hamlet
#

that is fair, mechanics and game knowledge are different to an extent, but sideshow is a caster and coaches like crusty are only plat, but at the same time she is literally a journalist which is the point everyone is making lmao

next mesa
#

It's more like knowledge about the game doesn't translate to live fast good decision making

willow tartan
#

yes

#

egg head does some stupid shit in game

willow tartan
tawdry hamlet
#

liberals destroyed

forest raven
#

I mean

#

Jeff never knew much about the game

willow tartan
#

but no yeah i have no idea who liz is

#

as if game journalism was any more respectable than regular journalism

next mesa
#

She's a like half relevant journalist in ow scene

tawdry hamlet
#

she is the one that posts the roster moves and skin releases and all that stuff for dailydot

devout path
#

Sr ≠ knowledge but generally higher sr people are more knowledgeable

willow tartan
#

yes

#

sort of

#

you can also just get higher SR off the back of your raw mechanical skill

frank granite
#

there are a whole lot more silver players who nothing about balance than t500s /shrug

devout path
willow tartan
#

i dont think that was the point being made by liz the journalist

#

she was being like "yo fuck t500 players that complain about balance cuz I, a game journalist, know more than they do about the game"

tawdry hamlet
#

Have a hot tip and maybe a hot take for ranked Overwatch:

If you're below Plat, stop hard flanking.

It's not going to work. You are not going to kill anyone if you're in fucking Narnia. Just because OWL does it doesn't mean you can. Stay. With. The. Team.

like I can respect her work and stuff but the vibe seemed so off lmao

forest raven
#

Bro the amount of flaming hot molten takes I see in this server from silver to diamond players that don't know what they're talking about but are so convinced they do is astounding

devout path
#

Anyone who says they know more without backing it up is most likely not knowledgeable

forest raven
#

Actually mindblowing

willow tartan
#

here's my hot take

#

when to hard flank is fucking situational like everything else in the game

#

there are no hard rules

devout path
#

Like if you need to bring up achievements or rank to make a point about the game it’s not a good point

willow tartan
#

actual fkn 3head take

devout path
#

Some people r dumb

willow tartan
#

besides the only hard flanking we really consistently see is from heroes that are supposed to do that (In the OWL)

frank granite
#

if you hard flank at the wrong time you drop in rank, if you do it at the right time you go up in rank :)

devout path
#

I mean like I would only understand this if it was from like an owl coach

frank granite
#

there's no one strategy at different srs

willow tartan
#

what does it matter if its from an OWL coach

#

itd still be wrong

tawdry hamlet
forest raven
#

Apply

devout path
willow tartan
#

they should be

devout path
#

Other than like

worn falcon
#

That's subjetive too

devout path
#

Other coaches in t500

willow tartan
#

but owl coaches know better than to embroil themselves in twitter arguments

worn falcon
#

And some personal bias

willow tartan
#

keep your head down and dont get noticed

tawdry hamlet
#

other than like charge beginning season coaching staff troll_smoshed

tawdry hamlet
#

and spark

worn falcon
#

Charge

willow tartan
#

apac head coach change any%

worn falcon
devout path
#

Goodnight all of u

tawdry hamlet
#

was wild though to see mentalist and all the others just come and go like a revolving door in early season

#

then london coach too

next mesa
#

To be fair like a normal bronze player attempting flank wouldn't work

sullen berry
#

It can sure end a comp party real quick

willow tartan
#

ppl are more unaware in bronze right?

#

ez frags on their support line

#

no support you win ez

frank granite
#

honestly hard flanking works better in bronze than any other rank

#

even for someone with bronze aim

#

just press q in their backline on like 50% of dps

stuck radish
tawdry hamlet
#

the second I worked on my aim and then just looked off angle click click click I was up 500 sr in a day or two back when I was silver

tawdry hamlet
#

she already subtweeted applys ratio omegalul omegalul omegalul

#

she is claiming she also got death threats within an hour of tweeting which I mean sucks obviously but I can't in my mind believe that she thought this is what people would think with her tweet, she knew what she was doing lmao

#

anyway weird stuff goin on on twitter like usual

sullen berry
tawdry hamlet
#

lmao, I love all aspects of owl man, the drama, the play, the one tricks, the upsets, the hype, the fantasy rosters you can make in your head

#

all so much

#

fun

sullen berry
#

like when that one post of Masaa on the official OWL twitter that "it's not coming home" is hilarious in and of itself

#

why anyone in EU or london specifically see that as an attack is mind boggling

tawdry hamlet
#

Drama in particular just makes me laugh because it is so weird how mad people can get over a simple disagreement in a character or something in a game lmaoo

earnest leaf
#

wait what did miz say?

#

to tilt people?

sullen berry
#

having one of those monte moments on twitter

earnest leaf
#

deleted tweet

sullen berry
#

on the surface, she's right - who has time to be able to confidently explain Overwatch to people who are in other worlds from esports?

#

fixed

#

discord post links are underrated

tawdry hamlet
#

someone already made a meme im dead lmaoo

sullen berry
#

what's the point of the blanks

#

also easily misinterpreted, that's a tilt tweet if I ever seen one

tawdry hamlet
#

yeah I have no doubt she purposely worded it that way to bait and then say everyone just misunderstood

earnest leaf
#

I'm gonna be straight up

tawdry hamlet
#

there is no way you could word something so poorly lmao

earnest leaf
#

I don't give a fuck about OW journalism omegalul

tawdry hamlet
#

I just get my news from halo and reddit tbh

sullen berry
#

if we lose liz, then Jacob Wolf will have to update us on the report of the OWL salary cap with the Department of Justice

sullen berry
tawdry hamlet
#

I mean halo can be silly sometimes but he is right 8/10 times and where else am I going to fuel my need for pointless speculation on roster moves hehe

sullen berry
#

reddit when I'm not reading mindless takes or treating it as blizzard forums but white is otherwise, pretty good

tawdry hamlet
#

then there are the people who unironically read overwatch tmz lmaoo

sullen berry
#

serves its purpose as community-driven newsfeed

tawdry hamlet
#

that shit is so dumb

earnest leaf
#

hey I check out owtmz every now and then

#

sometimes there is some dumb funny post

#

shit like this

tawdry hamlet

lmaoooo

I remember that one

just things so stupid that are funny

tawdry hamlet

that one was gold

they struggled against nyxl..

tawdry hamlet

Probably not but it's possible I guess

willow tartan

its apac its totally possible valiant could beat chengdu in a map 5

#

if any team had to lose to valiant it would be chengdu

hot onyx
#

Time for me to drown in a pool of my own tears

tawdry hamlet

It's apac its totally possible Shanghai go to map 5 this series after 3-0 ing fusion and Seoul lmao

NYXL 3-2

If Fusion lose this I’m changing my nickname theme to NineK

No team that is good will lose to NYXL twice this season

carpe sombra eqo tracer btw

hot onyx

I know

#

My nan knows

willow tartan
#

its almost as bad as violet lucio

hot onyx

When my nan questions the decision of one of the most hyped up coaches of the season, you know it’s a bad decision

willow tartan
#

did you remember the shock vs dallas game in jj on eichenwalde

#

violet lucio twilight moira

#

actually makes me mald thinking abt it

hot onyx
#

Makes me happy thinking about it

tawdry hamlet
#

what makes me mald is philly losing against weaker teams in the weaker region angerybongo

#

I can forgive shanghai losses

#

but sometimes this team man

hot onyx
#

They aren’t losing against weaker teams though

#

Chengdu vastly improved

willow tartan
#

they're still a weaker team than philly

hot onyx
#

They only lost because Chengdu are good cope

tawdry hamlet
#

is gaga overrated or just not necessary to win games anymore because they seem deadset on ameng recently out of nowhere

willow tartan

ball meta

#

ameng is the ball god

hot onyx

Fuck shit shit shit fucking shit

tawdry hamlet
#

yeah but gaga was literally the same or better than ameng on ball and can actually play other tanks tbh

#

at least earlier in season

hot onyx

Fusion has never won a match Doa and ZP has casted this season

tawdry hamlet

tragic

willow tartan

mechanically sure but ameng has been running ball comps for much longer

#

maybe he can coordinate better in this sort of dive

forest raven

Shanghai hasn't dropped a map yet this stage

like maybe he's a better shotcaller or something

Tbh now that the casters say it out loud, they aren't wrong what the fuck were their picks into that

#

Pharah comp

willow tartan
#

Their strategy was "let's ignore the pharmercy and rush the enemy team 6v4"

tawdry hamlet
#

Let's ignore arguably the best or second best owl pharah we'll be fine

willow tartan
#

I mean there's only like 3 good pharah players

#

profit fleta and jinmu

forest raven
#

Hey

tawdry hamlet
#

Only 3 good ones or only three teams that ever play her

mortal abyss
#

we got fucked by fleta on pharah aswell

forest raven

Don't be disrespecting Nero's name like that

willow tartan
#

why don't NA teams play pharah on lijang btw

#

like at all

tawdry hamlet
#

Nero played her on hanamura and fucked

forest raven
#

Because NA = rush

mortal abyss

willow tartan

I thought EU = rush

forest raven

Ball and sombra do not exist in NA

#

Rein does not exist in APAC

willow tartan

Eastern Conference still playing with no rein hero pools

After Shanghai beats Dallas again in the playoffs plat chat will say for the nth time APAC was always behind the meta

I mean if Gladiators lose 3-0 and have a tied map diff with Shock, Gladiators go through to knockouts since they already beat Shock in their regular season matchup

Can someone explain to me why fusion was throwing by playing genji

Fusion suck lol

hot onyx

How the fuck

balmy wolf

mano/hotba are top30 but tanks diff

#

eqo is better on tracer

hot onyx

I am convinced that ChrisTfer was the sole coaching reason that Fusion did anything last season

willow tartan

Like I said bois, clean 3-0 sweep.

balmy wolf

so whoever loses this match drops?

remote siren
#

WHy trust fusion to do anything?

#

all they know how to do is get exposed

balmy wolf
#

both are at knockout threshold

remote siren

now here's the plot

#

If nyxl wins this

#

they have a strong chance to make it knockouts

#

and nyxl can beat anyone as we have seen (besides dragons)

hot onyx

I am just tired

Fuck it

Even if Philly reverse sweeps they need Hangzhou to not win a single map or fusion doesn't qualify

ergo Shanghai should throw a map

@willow tartan i feels this. am washington capitals fan i dont think we'll ever see another stanley cup clutch even tho statistically ovechkin might be the best player since gretzsky

willow tartan

To get into the tourney either Washington needs to lose or Skewed needs to die from a heart attack

tacit skiff

So Washington just needs to win a map
I like these odds

So many teams were disappointments this year

If Glads lose 3-0 Glads are stil in

Unless Toronto beat Dallas

I would pay to see Sado MTD Fearless on the Reinhardt.

Don't worry bro fusion will pop off during the countdown cup when poko arrives in Korea and the players can combine at full strength like a power rangers mechazoid

I don't think Fusions DPS line up is enough to be a top tier currently.

real gyro

i dont understand how fusion fans think Poko and shock-wave will help this team, pure copium

mortal abyss
#

hotba hasnt been great

#

i mean

weak bolt
#

Rascal/EQO have pop off moments, but not enough at all times. Carpe still seems to be on a downwards curve, and who knows how Shockwave will play

mortal abyss
#

did you watch that last map

#

he wasnt pressuring gwangboong at all

#

and gets demeched before final fight

little tusk
#

shockwave unironically gonna outperform carpe

weak bolt
#

Fusions problem could well be are they willing to bench Carpe for Shockwave

real gyro
#

Shockwave is insane but he hasnt played in owl for almost a year

weak bolt
#

It's also hard to know if SW will actually be insane on a good team. Sometimes its easier to look amazing on a crap team because you can somewhat carry

They let Shanghai double support ult and just sit their after they let out even thought they have emp

or you mean the motivation drive?

sullen berry
#

yeah drive is more accurate

#

wasn't sure how to describe it either

tropic herald
#

They feel sluggish compared to Shanghai

willow tartan
#

they need to take the initiative

#

playing reactively is bad

sullen berry
#

but that's how some of these teams engage in china

tropic herald
#

Like if they have emp and rally any fights, just take the fight in this mirror

sullen berry
#

AVRL on his podcast said it so for Guangzhou where some of the comps just won't work

#

if like their only win condition is to react faster
