sure
Achilios just made a quick reference to him saying someone from SF Shock has a similar massive crosshair to F4Q Zunba
That's Valorant KR for you
but why are Hawaii wins useless
if they dont make up for regular season games
its makes no sense
bro i dont know all i know is shanghai has twice the amount of points of anyone else in the league
i assumed that the points were for tiebreakers and shit
Shanghai just needs to get their win and let others have fun too
like even if youve lost more regular season matches
APAC is so sad looking when shd dominates
you could still be placed higher if u have more points
sure but they should count map diff after points
and not wins after points
a point in Hawaii should be equal with a regular win
tournanment games are counted in the regular season standings?
because the map standings dont reflect that
Tournament playoffs give you extra league points if you win, but only league points
Regular season series wins and map diff is not changed by tournament results
mm ok
yeah so if atlanta and wj both had the same map wins
atlanta would be placed before them if they had a league point from tournament
Yeah
Atlanta and Washington have the same amount of points because Atlanta won against NYXL but have one less dub in the regular season
not map wins
Yeah not map wins, series wins
It goes league points > series wins > map diff > head to head
Wdym regular wins count more
cause wins and points are basically the same
cause regular wins give you points + map diff
more than map diff
Map diff and series wins are irrelevant if a team has more league points
why count wins if we have points for that
cuz getting league points is not winning
it is?
If Chengdu won the summer showdown they'd be above Seoul even with two more losses in the regular season
u have to win 2 or 3 games to get 1 point lmao
?
atlanta has less match wins so thats why theyre below washington
You're talking about knockouts?
Atlanta's below Washington because they have less series wins
yes
How
if they had beat dallas they would be above washington and glads
What makes it dumb? It's logical.
it's not
Maybe Atlanta shouldn't have lost to Toronto in the May Melee
hes saying that match wins in tournament should be worth more than regular season match wins
Hawaii games shouldn't be worth less
same worth
Atlanta didn't simply win
Because they're bonus wins
If you lose in Hawaii it doesn't negatively affect your season standings at all
It's either neutral if you lose twice or positive
trueing
they matter for the end of season playoffs
since fuel has extra league points, shock could go 4-0 and win the countdown cup and fuel would still be in the playoffs
without those points they would've had to play in the play ins
and the reason that's not the case is because of the
even if they had a worse map diff
bonus league points
If Shock had the same amount of points it would have been because they won one of the tournaments lol
nah they don't matter if u have the same amount
i have no idea what youre trying to say
draw bro
I'm guessing what you're trying to say is that you want tournaments to add to map diff so tiebreakers can be solved with them?
But I'm not sure so uh
look: team a has 7 regular wins and has 7 points and team b has 6regular wins and a bonus point so 7 points team a would still be in front no matter what
because they have more wins
you want the extra league point to count as a win
well either way theyd still be in front no?
cause you dont get map diff in tournament matches
so with one more regular season win that's at least +1 map differential
right?
unless the team went like
3-2 4 times vs going 9-3
here
Atlanta and Washington
have the same points
and Atlanta has a better map diff
but they are below washinghton
and it's not a bug
Atlanta just sucks
TRUE
just good to see Paris underneath
Draw you're not allowed to say a team sucks when both your teams are top teams lmaoo aren't you a shock Shanghai fan
Of course every other team sucks it's Shanghai 
😭
Now if only hz could beat new York with the clear roster advantage they possess
They literally have so much wasted talent rn
The org is having a hard time comitting lmao
Buys multi million dollar house and 12 man roster
Doesn't buy coaches
Ok
Nohill is right there and undine was available earlier on
Tbh they could do so much with their money and roster I just want them to do it 😭
Spark has the best skins yet they suck 
Why did they have to get the pink
They should have the horrifying green and blue of Vancouver
and no
I wouldn't give pink to the titans either
Shock have only lost 3 times?
In the regular season
Got 3-0'd twice in knockouts lole
And the three losses in the regular season were to Houston twice and Glads
Losing to Glads 
I count their match against London as a loss
Fair
I'm still malding they beat Dallas 3-1 in the qualifiers and then got 3-0'd by Atlanta in the knockouts
shock vs shanghai rematch when zzz
Implying Shock will make it to Hawaii or the playoffs
I mean they have to at least make one right?
no way they don't make it 4 stages in a row
Watch it happen
Shock have become the ultimate bed shitters
True
In my very correct plat opinion they should run Ans/Glister/super/Choi/FD/Twilight
And commit to it
Not bad but what happens if hitscan is bad
I feel like ans would have the better sombra though
Because Glister will have tracer duty
I think ans glister or glister nero should be their only dps lineups
unless ans gets back into his 2020 form
ngl I reckon the shock could pull off an alright sombra tracer ball comp
Both Smurf and super have good balls that could become great if they grinded
ans sombra glister or nero tracer
nero also has a decent pharah and they have should probably run twilight for the ana zen
they could probably run that well if they decide to practice it
yeah they need fd on MS but they can't play viol2t and FD at the same time
so they just play FD and twilight
it should be easy
Yeah they really should try it in a match
They should know they can’t get away with two hyper aggro supports
It’s fucking absurd
I don’t know why they aren’t trying to get more assistant coaches at the least
They clearly can’t function with just crusty and casores
They played that once in one map against Paris
They won that map

Yeah
Chengdu in their rightful place though
Shock should be above Boston though
Cmon Avast

Chengdu is Chengdu
I don’t remember but how good is Daan monkey
There's only like four real ball players in the league
Ameng played last map in gf
ameng is not a meme player
Motherfucker if you're including Daan I'm including Ameng
how fucking dare you
If he is a meme player why was he in gf
He played in gf
Smurf is a better ball than Daan no doubt
taiyo is a season 3 champion but never played
He played against Seoul as well
He played more than 2 maps though
No one on your team has won anything + your team is made up of EU players + L + ratio
haven't won anything
EU Contenders

still beating teams with multiple champions like the glads
what does that say about na and kr
random eu contendies rookies
can beat your super team

the glads have fucking dpei
All paris have done is beat glads
this is fucked up
also 3-0'd justice
Didn't beat them when it counted 
Did you see the recent justice paris?
lmfao
YOU'RE A LOSER
yeah that'd be me
HAHAHAHAHAHA
I'm more of a dpei hater than a glads fan now
yeah i forgot about the note

next time try to beat the team you've already 3-0'd
dude that map 5 against atlanta gives me nightmares
Edison simply said no
dpei started trying to coach in the map 5
And locked the doom
so they kept trying to pharah n shit
tbf they figured out the ball comp was the best comp
They were just really bad at it
remember when the TOP TIER TANK DAAN called for a pharah comp
and ur shit team
got fucked
by a pharmercy
your mom
Whoa whoa
lole
onigod > birdring
yeah don't disrespect my favourite seagull fan
imagine getting rolled by pharmercy in OWL
Dallas Fuel got rolled by Pharmercy
kai is overrated anyways
onigod is the ceo of being overrated
Kai or birdring better ?
ACTUAL SHIT TAKE JACK
idk
kai probably ngl
onigod is the most underrated player
yo Luigi
Onigod does like one good thing a map
stop talking to me
he's a top tier hitscan
And then disappears for the rest of it
guys u gotta admit
onigod naga is a pretty cracked dps duo
Naga is good
onigod too
Nah
who even is kevster
naga>sparkle
Alright calm down
remember when people said kevster would be top tier on low ping
and got fucked by naga

EU simps 
I didn't think I could see an even shitter take today
You remember when people said Shanghai weren’t gonna win SS
you're such a chad
Foolish

lmao youtube chat was so weird
people kept thinking pine was gonna sub in any moment
You remember when people said Shanghai weren't gonna win JJ
I doubt Dallas even scrim Pine that much tbh
at this point im doubting is pine is gonna play this year
Normans have a weird obsession with pine
i dont think u want your hitscan to scrim on 300 ping
Hitscan is the least impacted role by ping
and get used to hitscan on ping
Plus it’s closer to 200
<3
dude
Guys I literally play East coast to Australia and Hitscan is probably the easiest to play
Hitscan doesn’t change!! Bc ow favors the shooter
Every tank besides zarya is trash on ping
ye thats a fact
Izayaki is an actual freak
the only hero fielder is better at than izayaki is moira
who the fuck plays moira tho
fucking nerds
When Izayaki frontlined as zen against Edison's Cree with flash up and didn't die I knew
That man had a fat fucking cock
If I remember the script correctly Dallas should go 2-2 this stage and Shanghai should go 4-2
4-0*
But then they both make the end of season playoff finals
Jecse Lucio otp
naga > all shitty fdps in owl stfu
fate > fearless
Shanghai has the advantage of having a top3 player in every role
And a coach with a brain the size of Ganymede
no
It's a moon dude
not the bird
It’s also a planet
the fuckin
the thing the bird was named after
bastion bird
you idiot
thats the moon

Get it
bro next youre gonna tell me that Overwatch invented crusaders
Paris fan moment
i think
shanghai not needing to swap is really good
their players are just flexible enough to do it
its like playing pokemon bro
You need players that can cover everything
Atlanta has seemingly stopped subbing Kai in and keeping Edison
Fleta is bidoof
moons arent planets dipshit

I mean who references Jupiter’s moon when talking about brain size
in reference to
I do
coach (moon)
I'm a space enthusiast 

Did you know that Pluto is not a planet
He is one
Mfw esports
Glads fan?

im being bullied, help me mod
what do you guys think is the current best possible chinese player lineup?
and where would you rate them against other overwatch league teams (assuming that the players are duplicated)
guxue for sure as mt
How good is lige I don’t know much about him
Gaga Lateyoung Leave Shy Mmonk Nisha 
ljg is korean right
Gaga might be better than guxue
guxue for rein winston
you dont like lige?
gaga for anything ball related
Is lige Chinese, and how good is he
Haven’t seen lige in forever
hangzhou havent played in the tourneymneyt
Gaga/Elsa/Leave/Shy/Mmonk/Yveltal
didn't lige have mental problems
Yea
yeah
Elsa is retired
anyway...
As long as the team has Leave Shy
cough
If Elsa isn't allowed then Lateyoung
molly
The team fucks
cough
Also is yveltal better than nisha?
molly is good
I am a Yveltal simp
lmfao
Where was molly last year
wait fuck
Molly played like two weeks ago
Luigi is a paris fan don't expect intelligence
im thinking off lluffy
molly last year was on chengdu
luffy would be a upgrade on most apac teams
but anyways
How good is mcd
put molly on team china
Isn't MCD Korean
His Ana and Zen are nice
kariv 
Yeah MCD's Korean
chinese superteam would be like top 3 in the league easily
Absolutely
im pretty sure the best EU team would be close to top 3
what would the best EU team be
Best EU team would be 19th
What would be best eu
Poko is good
but u have vestola and poko
why have astro when you have fdgod
shockwave, naga, fdgod, kaan
Which is better rn
carried 
fusion is strange man
FD's played well recently when he did get played
the best EU MT isnt even in OWL
they mostly upgraded and sidegraded players
Mans has just been benched 
and are shit now
it's depressing watching the shock and fusion play
Benbest or smth else?

I remember the first game fdgod played, like 3 boops in 2 minutes
that was crazy
He got 6 boops on well
Fleta and Leave considered worse tracers than Sparky on Watson btw
sparkr i assume
Sparkle
Sparky
sp9kle
Who is that
Jimmy second best widow 
A player on some shitter NA team or something
Sprinkle
DALLAS AND SHANGHAI SIMPS MALDING
What hero is that
Rein
Why is Elsa there
why is void there
He’s gonna lie to you
why is michelle there
True
ELSA BETTER REIN THAN FEARLESS
it's rein
Prove it
nah Luigi is dishonest
Why is silver3 above fearless
i never lie
In rein
it is roadhog
Yea
just checked
No one wins
Hadi breaks shields with shatter
yeah they both charge off the map on accident
checkmate wins against both
Hanbin Rein
someone needs to teach hadi that u cant shatter a shield
shatter gives ligma
Damn look at these tracer rankings https://i.imgur.com/Kqs994k.png
Big L's for Onigod
onigod is a trash bastion player bro
nah those are tracer rankings
onigod is a flick god ofcourse he sucks at bastion
reported for spreading false information.
striker is lucky he never had to play tracer into molanran tbh
True
lol striker is gone
Why do you think he retired? 
who tf needs striker when u have hotba
Striker saw molanran and dipped
How are the Dragons players not number 1 on their signature heroes besides Izayaki on zen
Holy shit Watson is fucking dumb
Dallas payed Watson off or something despite losing June joust
ikr
dallas plays more matches
bunch of silly players
whoru develop dps lineup
pls
What is Develop supposed to be in for
neither will develop
lol
it's just incase another heavy hitscan meta comes around
which won't happen
Playoff patch
yeah that's the exception
@noble nexus opinions?
Widow no longer needs to charge shots
cool screenshot innit
proud of you
your medal is on its way
In case of double sniper meta.
thank u
Develop plays the widow and LIP plays the hanzo
i tried my hest
they'll give widow like 500 hp and genji's dash
If only leave played like this in his first season
hest
whoru is in for genji meta and only genji meta
Easy roty
Does fleta play hanzo
fuck i wanted to say hard work and best at the same time
in a double sniper meta
The answer to every question of if Fleta plays a hero is yes
Fleta main tank
nah fleta is a torb specialist
Yes
like carpe
would do better than checkmate
mathem
where are they at?
they suck
OGE redemption arc?
I don't think OGE is gonna get his 4th chance
yeah OGE is gone next year
Paris and mayhem switched places
no way he gets another chance
oge redemption was going great till he got benched by an already benched fdps
PARIS FANS STAY WINNING
OGE training arc in contenders
florida mayhem did a top tier to shit tier speedrun any%
Houston Dallas justice?
their loss on toronto was the worst one
this was when justice was at the absolute bottom
justice was legit garbage at this point
Nah week one was
Remember they bought shock to map 5
Justice rebounded after the first two games
shut up
Mongolian
what happened to russian players in overwatch?
bro i swear they all disappeared after season 1
Remember when the team that completely dominated the EU region went to OWL and slapped the league around
Oh wait
eu as a whole need to get more people addicted to overwatch
its hurting their regional performance
I mean tier 2 just doesn't exist at this point
Add a French hero
There is a French hero
Who
widow
widowmaker....

shut
wh
????
God
Shanghai dropped 4 maps the entire summer showdown
And half of them were in the one series
3 from Chengdu
all from chengdu
Spark
oh
Didn’t they drop one to spark
Shy fucked on the worst map for ball
and they got a map because leejaegon forgot to press Q
he had rally up
shouldve rallied as soon as hz engaged and committed a rally of their own
How many loses has Shanghai taken this year
ouch
They're 10-2 in the regular season with EIGHTEEN points
Shanghai is also up 20 map diff
And they can lose 4 and still be at the number one spot
Shanghai could lose all four games and get 3-0'd and they still wouldn't lose the number 1 spot in APAC even if Seoul or Chengdu went 4-0 and won the CC
Lol
Basically they’re already in the playoffs anyway
So they can not try the rest of the seas if they wanted to not that they will
They’re too far ahead of anyone
They can experiment for post season p much
Even Dallas Is 6 map diff behind them at 14 map diff
actually if seoul went 4-0 and won the cournament they'd be number 1, but shanghai locked in for 2 so playoffs anyway
Oh
yeah but its only seoul
so if its any time for seoul to pop off its the countdown cup
The max points you can get in one tournament is 7
wait shit youre right
im toasted idk
o i was thinking of uhh
the other number 1 team
shock can theoretically get number 1 in NA during countdown cup
my team is good 
paris?
people are saying in chat that you can get dva skin for watching 4 hours of OWL stream, is this true?
encore stream is going on right now homie
you can still watch the rest of today's match from now
and get the D.Va OWL skin if you're signed in from an eligible country
where you from and why aren't you signed in yet
uk and im connected with youtube and battlenet
ah so you're good
so its this stream you get it?
choose a platform to watch from and stick with it
youtube will show if you are connected to your YT account
while the OWL page in the screenshot will have this pink dot to say you are earning watch time
sry

lmao ur a legend
London?
After that awesome Summer Showdown Finals, we’re now headed into the final Countdown (Cup) of #OWL2021.
Countdown Cup info is coming on the 21st - we wait a bit to tell teams the map pool / hero pool so they take a real break.
We’ll also share more Playoffs info this week!
hero pools
I complained about it during june joust
but that was pretty conservative
time for a little disruption
else we end up with virtually the exact same dps support bans
tanks are the only variation
Dva banned = double shield :)
“Yeah guys we know multiple players and a majority of the fan base spoke negatively of hero pools for how it reduces scrimming partners and toys with the meta, but it’s not like there’s an incredibly simple way to cancel it or anything so we’re going along with it as planned”
blizz trying to please the whiny ass community
community doesn't want stagnant metas
hero pools directly fights against that
Meta isn’t even stagnant
but hardly a difference
only the beasts of the east can show meta diversity, with or without her pools
And reduces scrim partners so that owl teams and contenders teams can’t scrim eachother for practise so while there isn’t a half decade long GOATS meta I don’t see the reasoning behind it
it was the NA orgs and the community fickle enough to complain what can fix it and leave for another game freely that were complaining
Bring back goats
shut down role lock
Bring back goats
Hero pools bring more harm than good unfortunately
I disagree
It forces teams to actually change shit up instead of forcing the same 6 heroes all season long
Well actually
The patch notes kinda does that now
With the game getting patched more frequently than it used to
Last patch was the hitscan nerf
Last patch mainly addresses hitscans
Which was not the devs best decision
Also not a good decision
Isn't Widow like not very good rn?
But neither was 5v5 but that’s a can of worms I’m not gonna open despite mentioning it 
guys anyone receiving tokens?
i am
kk
you guys can tell if you recive tokens from watching over phone? im not sure if i got mine when i watched the games over phone from my bed last times
!drops
!drops
If u don't receive any tokens just clear ur browser app data then u will start receiving tokens
Hero pools done as they are now are good
Hero pools as they were done before were very bad
Speaking of hero pools, have they announced who's out for the countdown cup?
Last time, they announced it as soon as the previous tournament ended.
they're waiting a few days so the teams will actually take the time to rest instead of scrimming and worrying about it
???
how would overwatch releasing hero pool information make teams behaviors change
wait nevermind i just ran that thought experiment in my head
sorry my brain works slower than my mouth
teams will probably figure out around thursday or so
they learn a day or two before us
i think the leading theory is that since teams that dont make the tournament are essentially already on break, releasing the information earlier would mean the top four teams would have effectively less scrim time with knowledge of the "ban pool"
I like high tier mei
dva cree mei, bap and brig have the highest pick rates
ok but i hope they ban mei sym
I’m just getting tired of echo tbh
like mei sym rush just makes rush so much worse
If lucio gets banned after Astro made it to korea I will write an angry letter
Double hitscan
Less damage falloff from 2 long range bullets instead of 1
🧠
Or y’know
Could always have genji again
That would be fun I think
Sp9rk1e EQO rematch

oops

apologies
develop won a title before carpe 
dont slutshame owl players
STAND1 WAS ON THE DRAGONS LAST SEASON???
yes
the hell happened for him to get demoted to Boston like that?
not getting playtime
he's a main tank
they also had fearless
probably wanted play time
and boston needed a main tank
stand1 was there for the tanks fearless couldnt play
like i believe they ran stand1 orisa for a bit
but since fearless dipped and they got fate
fate by the way he can play like every main tank good
they dont need a stand1
I was watching the 2020 grand finals
y'know
reminiscing about that time the Dragons lost for once
and I see Stand1 on ball on Busan
and I was like
PFFFFFT THE FUCK
it's crazy how he went from the runner-up team to literally 20/20
stand 1 sucks
Runner up?
but from the top to the bottom? eh
#2
they lost the gf to the shock
3-2
it was a close match tho
meka base could've got either way
you know that seoul was in the grand finals right...
and it was a first to 4 series
shanghai was knocked out in the loser's final by seoul
Yeah Shanghai wasn’t there lol
I'm re-watching shd vs shock in the winner finals from last season
I forgot how hard striker tracer diffed people
wrong
