earnest leaf
#

but he's been around since s1 I think?

#

s2 maybe

willow tartan
#

mm

earnest leaf
#

People also told me paris would be the worst team in the league

willow tartan
#

yeah those people are mentally degenerate

#

like

earnest leaf
#

basically most of people's t2 predictions are bs

willow tartan
#

how do you look at teams like vancouver and valiant and then think "nah paris is worse"

earnest leaf
#

so next season

willow tartan
#

like fr

earnest leaf
#

i'm done listening to them

willow tartan
#

especially the valiant one

#

theyre literally off roling

#

idk how you can think paris was the worst team

earnest leaf
#

might be able to see how some AT players do next season

#

See if they are actually the real deal

gusty rampart
#

I want to speak to the NYXL doubters who thought Valiant would win

earnest leaf
#

or overrated as fuck like other t2 players

willow tartan
#

i heard that the AT players arent interested in owl

#

just in T2 for the scholarship money

earnest leaf
#

I would take an owl contract over a scholarship

willow tartan
#

well yk

gusty rampart
#

Same

earnest leaf
#

Scholarship will be available to multiple schools for a while

willow tartan
#

owl careers arent v long

earnest leaf
#

owl contract won't stay

willow tartan
#

maybe some of the guys want a long term career

earnest leaf
#

That's the thing, owl isn't always going to be here, but college and collegiate will be around for a lot longer

#

So saving up a lot of money via an owl contract while you're 18-19, and then getting a scholarship once you leave the league would be nice

gusty rampart
#

Overwatch League players who retire also usually go into different games and a streaming career

earnest leaf
#

like iirc apply got an offer for collegiate even

next mesa
#

I think

earnest leaf
#

If you say "hey I was in overwatch league" you get one easily

willow tartan
#

you would have to ask our resident contenders expert micheal

next mesa
#

Collegiate will be dead

#

If owl wasn't a thing

#

Ngl

earnest leaf
#

But I can also see not wanting to deal with the stresses of owl and delaying school

#

Either way they should end up well off

willow tartan
#

mayhaps

#

either way we will see in S5

mortal abyss
#

Shock lost 3-2 to fearless on ball asriel_L

earnest leaf
#

Fearless actually looked way better on ball today

#

was pretty surprising

mortal abyss
#

So Iโ€™ve heard

#

What was the shock lineup

earnest leaf
#

Mainly Ans/Nero/Super/Choi/Twilight/Viol2t

#

Glister came in for last map for ans, and smurf played both Koth maps

#

And honestly

#

The supports were pretty solid today

#

just their teamplay fell short

twin bloom
earnest leaf
#

they still won a game and london/titans didn't kekw1

twin bloom
#

London had a harder schedule in stage 1

#

Titans V paris was super close

#

Titans probably would have won if they had not choked a 5-6 hanamura round

earnest leaf
#

Titans unironically weren't hyper dogshit stage 1 on rush

#

losing shredlock/rein not being meta and then they became hyper dogshit

twin bloom
#

Rush is just a very easy comp

#

Once rush kinda fell of

#

Titans became hyper shit

#

Lol

earnest leaf
#

yea that doesn't change my point

forest raven
#

super played a good ball at least PeepoGlad

earnest leaf
#

surprisingly yea wasn't too bad

#

Now run that and not orisa

forest raven
buoyant coyote
#

Think if Paris played Vancouver

#

Easy roll

tacit skiff
#

i did the math
if Blizzard gave me all the tokens they owe me, they'd owe me 150 tokens

#

Valiant's first dub coming in

willow tartan
#

knuckle up time to buckle up catJAM

Time for valiant to 3-0 seoul

what's with fdps and playing legs lately

tawdry hamlet
#

Molanran bad waaGONE

tacit skiff
#

Krystal has a Chengdu spray bound lmao

willow tartan
#

maybe he admires cdh

tawdry hamlet
#

God free showcheng praydge free Highbee, throw out the remaining roster sadgeCry

#

Seoul lmao

#

99 - 99 Seoul go brr

#

Lmaoooo

willow tartan
#

its always like that

#

Valiant do well on controll and get rolled everywhere else.

#

on control they get the enemy to play down to their level

tawdry hamlet
hollow bough
#

small hiccup, valiant goes 3-1

#

Im from the future

hollow bough
#

thats how the flex dps' have been playing legs, pharah for burst and distracting dva and soldier to clean up/surprise dps

tawdry hamlet
hollow bough
#

thats what i think anyway lol

willow tartan
#

doesn't the fdps also play pharah though?

#

like usually

hollow bough
#

Usually I think so yeah

#

But since hitscan nerfs are in effect now, pharah is dominant

#

so i guess pharah is now in a main dps role

tawdry hamlet
#

So like, highbee I think might be the only one worth saving from valiant, Krystal is outclassed by other dps aside from maybe Dalton and kaylee

willow tartan
#

what hitscan also plays pharah?

tawdry hamlet
#

Showcheng sometimes I guess

hollow bough
#

I dunno, what rein plays ball

willow tartan
#

All of the eastern teams

hollow bough
#

Ye

tawdry hamlet
#

Roll dynasty

willow tartan
#

Houston Paris Fuel Shock all played ball

hollow bough
#

They're new to it, though

#

Same with pharah

willow tartan
#

not shock

#

or Paris

tawdry hamlet
#

Justice ran ball right

hollow bough
#

Not new, less experienced

willow tartan
#

yea

#

anyway what does that have to do with hitscans playing pharah

tawdry hamlet
#

Maybe Florida can be a dark horse this tourney

hollow bough
#

Idk, there's more value with playing pharah

#

Thats my guess

willow tartan
#

yes so why would you have your hitscan playing her and not your fdps

tawdry hamlet
#

Colorhex and carpe are the only hitscans I know who would play pharah if they ever did

hollow bough
#

oh i see what you mean now

#

Yeah, no idea

willow tartan
#

like generally they'd be better on tracer/sombra

hollow bough
#

That is weird

willow tartan
hollow bough
#

I dont really memorize all of the roles but yea that is weird

tawdry hamlet

hollow bough

im glad uberx is casting

willow tartan
#

feedcheng

tacit skiff
#

it's honestly not even fair

#

there's just too big of a difference

tawdry hamlet
#

He is literally known most for his sniper aim and he gets put on tracer, soldier, mei, echo, genji, pharah, droidcry

willow tartan

hollow bough
#

Still gotta play lol

willow tartan
#

tacit skiff
#

hollow bough
#

I thought there was a scandal a bit ago saying they were getting paid under the 50k but do not quote me on it

willow tartan
#

don't believe that BS personally

hollow bough
#

Me neither

tacit skiff
#

I wouldn't want free housing amenities from the LAV org

willow tartan
tawdry hamlet
#

They knew what they were getting into catplobbers

hollow bough
#

No, he was just saying in general

willow tartan
#

No that's why I'm asking

tacit skiff
#

I don't expect anything from that org
I'm sure they run out of toilet paper over there

willow tartan
#

Because I haven't heard much bad news about IGC in general

#

Like their CSGO roster is v good

tawdry hamlet
#

They're managed by a Chinese org and just owned by immortals atm

willow tartan
#

which Chinese org manages them?

tawdry hamlet
#

I have to look

tacit skiff

hollow bough
tacit skiff

I haven't heard anyone even talk about pubg in over a year

I don't really like most of chengdu's roster but I respect Leave and Yveltal a lot

Also Jake is a goat on and off the game catplobbers

Less hype, more good vibes

Valiant roll

sullen berry

you're also listening to the wrong kind of casting

#

if you're expecting any deeper analytical analysis of the valiant

hollow bough
#

This is the start of the reverse sweep

tacit skiff
#

why are they actually doing it

#

oh here it goes

#

it ends there

hollow bough
#

Seoul is all buttered up from stomp after stomp, then valiant turns on turbo mode

#

by the time valiant drops two maps, seoul is malding and cant focus and they throw

#

Seoul9 am i right

tacit skiff

he attached his brain to his PC and becomes Reinhardt in game

tawdry hamlet
#

Sheesh

sullen berry
#

now whenever I say "I support the Valiant", I really mean I hope they manage to win at least 3 maps this season

tawdry hamlet
#

Yes no support just underdog lols

willow tartan

I hope they win at least 4 maps ๐Ÿ˜Ž

tacit skiff

I hope they win the cc

If they get to a map win, I uninstall overwatch

4 seasons of hard carry

Whose ready for Spark to disappoint

hollow bough
#

Profit with a snuggie

sullen berry
#

it'd be an insult for philly to drop their newly found success

tawdry hamlet
#

As sans said "no team is bad enough to lose to nyxl three times"

#

Besides valiant catplobbers

tacit skiff
#

potm: Chengdu Superfan Krystal

#

Valiant only win the maps they need to

sullen berry
#

6 pulse bombs

tacit skiff
#

just ask philly

willow tartan
#

Dragons haven't lost to nyxl 3 times in this season so

sullen berry
#

one for every player

willow tartan
#

It could happen

tawdry hamlet
#

No ivy no win TSMC_vibingcat

hollow bough

gonna skip over this match and catch philly vs spark

I support Gwangboong supremacy

Shanghai about to go 0-2

willow tartan
#

can both teams agree to play Ashe

#

I want to see develop Ashe ๐Ÿ™

sullen berry
#

be real, it's Shanghai sandbagging tournament

#

they'll play lip on sombra

hollow bough
#

can both teams agree to run sigma/ashe/lucio/echo

sullen berry
#

whiff a few EMPs

#

and win the match

tawdry hamlet
#

Teams need a formal agreement to play long range hitscan for my amusement

tacit skiff
#

I miss meme owl games

willow tartan
tacit skiff
#

where both teams wouldn't take it as serious

willow tartan
#

that's called a scrim

sullen berry
#

It's time to develop and ask who are you to DEVELOP and WHORU

tawdry hamlet
#

Well that was possible with multi month seasons but this time it's only 16 games

#

So nobody wants to risk any matches

tacit skiff
#

Shanghai's never going to integrate properly if they get 0-4'd

#

SO LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN

willow tartan
#

no bro I already explained it

sullen berry
#

well my theory is this is still an intense season if you've been competing in three tournaments in a row

#

so no fleta

#

lip is optional

willow tartan
#

Shanghai is dropping maps to get 4th seed since Chengdu is undoubtedly gonna go 4-0 so Shanghai can knock out Chengdu before they reach Hawaii so they can't get the opportunity to lead ahead with league points 5Head

tacit skiff
#

the crystal ball said so

tawdry hamlet

I like to think there's just a walk in closet sized room in the team house where crusty just does shit tons of Ketamine and writes strats across all the walls

willow tartan

I bet it has a smoke machine and rave lights

tacit skiff
#

crusty vs Lucio dad

I actually earned tokens last stream, so hopefully this one's the same

I can imagine the playoffs will get a skin

hollow bough
tacit skiff

gf will get the winner skins

hollow bough
#

That would be fun to watch

tacit skiff
#

genuinely

#

I bet owl scrims are hectic and experimental

Like if they did something similar to csgo tv

That would require some setting up but. would be fun nonetheless

imagine how awful your sleep schedule must be to cast APAC games

willow tartan
#

Or you know... they live in Asia

#

Like AVRL

tacit skiff
#

nah

#

that's the lame answer

#

the correct answer is that the apac casters only are awake during the games and hibernate during the day

willow tartan
#

No develop or whoru sadge

tacit skiff

Shanghai actually gonna try against the bottom feeder teams

sullen berry

Ballin

#

fake list, no stand1

sullen berry
#

Yakpung up there in the top 3 is highly amusing, even against NA ball mains

#

fake list, no Jihun

willow tartan
#

You know... this means that Shanghai sees NYE as a bigger threat than PHI

#

Which honestly, with PHI losing to NYE twice...

tacit skiff
#

surprised oge is up there without being played at all recently

sullen berry
#

nah i can see that happeningh

#

if you haven't died as much, and the stats add up, it's looking good without much more effort

#

stats don't decay like SR

tacit skiff
#

unfortunately

sullen berry
#

would you really want that though

tacit skiff
#

absolutely

willow tartan
#

I want power rankings by ibm watson to be less shit

tacit skiff

stand1 is the best ball 1-10

hey, i have a question, why we don't get the OWLtoken when we watch the OWL, i watch it for 6h and i don't receive nothing ;_;

willow tartan

willow tartan

Nyxl have been a surprise this season considering their roster

Lip lmao

Lip getting boomed

#

Loll oh apac

#

Lip fastest ult charge in the game fr

ivory stag
#

lol

willow tartan
#

lip got 3 emps in like two minutes

tawdry hamlet
#

Yes after holding one for like 2

#

But his charge rate is nuts

ebon aurora
#

Doha has better EMPs, Lip has more

willow tartan
#

ehh

tawdry hamlet
#

That is what Heesu vs lip was like last year, better vs more

willow tartan
#

dohas sombra has been so so this stage

#

but granted it was 2 games

#

not enough data

mortal abyss
#

Now I feel less special about our 3-0 yesterday

ebon aurora
#

he's hardly played it this tourney tbf

willow tartan
#

its whatevs really

#

opening week is always crazy

ebon aurora
#

in general I mean though

willow tartan
#

im sure fuel will bounce back

ebon aurora
#

Lip always seems to build more EMPs but Doha's seem to be more efficient

willow tartan
#

i think its a matter of

tacit skiff
#

Fuel is gonna bounce back, look at their schedule

#

London should be a breeze

willow tartan
#

if you can generate more EMPs then waiting to find the perfect 6 man emp is a waste

ebon aurora
#

they already have to an extent, beating Shock yesterday

tawdry hamlet
#

Lip uses them a lot more freely because he knows how fast he can get them

#

Yeah

willow tartan
#

you can win a fight off 1-2 man emps

ebon aurora
#

NY look really good today

tawdry hamlet
#

Indeed they do

ebon aurora
#

I don't think this is SHD throwing

willow tartan
#

ofc theyre not throwing

#

they werent throwing yesterday either

ebon aurora
#

this is SHD's normal 6 on their best comp

tawdry hamlet
#

They look like an actual unit for once and not just a bunch of mechanically skilled players

ebon aurora
#

they were yesterday playing Develop and Whoru, let's be real

willow tartan
#

thats not throwing

tawdry hamlet
#

They look like what Charge could be

tacit skiff
#

Shanghai washed, owl is about to enter the Chengdu Zone

willow tartan
#

its an objectively weaker roster but its not throwing

ebon aurora
#

sure but if they were really trying to win they'd run their normal 6 let's be honest

#

feels like yesterday they were just experimenting

willow tartan
#

yeah no shit but they aren't pressured to really try to win

#

no need to go full 100% all the time

like think about it this way, Dallas Fuel if they were really trying to win could just lock monkey and hard carry against some of the weaker teams

#

but it is better that they spend their time learning the ball

you made that connection

tawdry hamlet

Paris lost to Boston running colorhex aPES4_LulPointWalk

ebon aurora
#

well they've had 2 really tough games so far this stage

#

they haven't really had a chance to play Winston and win off mechanics alone

#

maybe against London they will

tacit skiff
#

you don't lose to Chex if you're a good team

willow tartan
#

i wasnt saying it as in any sepcific match theyve played

tawdry hamlet
#

Paris is upper mid I'm not dumb it's just funny hehe

willow tartan
#

im just saying that they could totally win off of winston comp

#

but that would be bad for them

#

so teams can definitely make themselves "weaker" but it isnt throwing

tawdry hamlet
#

Just like Atlanta could spam sym mei all last month didn't matter in the tourney hehe

Totally true, Reign just throwing games during this season cause they know theyโ€™ll go 16-0 if they just try a little bit, Gator even said they just donโ€™t care about winning the tournament, theyโ€™re just THAT good

there have been people that have come into this chat and said some crazy shit

All the rookie flex dps this year have been great

ivory mason

agreed

balmy wolf

tbf every reign loss has been close besides shanghai 0-3s

willow tartan
#

im gonna say something real stupid but why do all the good teams have good records on volskaya

dreamy roost
# balmy wolf true true

As you can see, reign is insane this season, theyโ€™re so good that OWL make them throw games so the league will be somehow competitive. Gator is obviously the best main tank in the world

tawdry hamlet
#

Teru, naist, assassin, pelican, flora, shy, aspire, leave playing like he is now, Kevster CR_noted

willow tartan

like what about volskaya specifically, is it the importance of macro positioning?

tawdry hamlet

So many flex dps

#

So many good ones

ivory stag

if sombra is invis and she gets bubble or zen ord are those visible to enemy team?

philly doesnt qualify anyway you reckon?

well

we'll see when they do play nex week

If new York has to play Shanghai knockout again then ez philly go through tho

Also forgot about Chengdu kind of

Hmm

ivory mason

i have dallas paris dragon and hunters making it

willow tartan
#

dude im telling you

#

chengdu has an ez schedule

#

theyll go 4-0

#

get no 1 seed

weak bolt
#

This meta is literally a chengdu meta, they should be good

willow tartan
#

shanghai throwing to get 4th seed so they can knock out chengdu before chengdu makes it to hawaii and gets a chance to get more league points and catch up 5Head

ivory mason
#

LOL

willow tartan

because if chengdu goes to hawaii theyll get 2nd place at least

tawdry hamlet

New York Shanghai Shock Dallas is my pred CR_noted

and thats +2 league points

Hehe dhock

Shanghai are guaranteed #1 seed even if they lose 3-0 all of CC. Thats how far ahead they are lol

thats not how countdown cup knockouts are played

I mean overall #1 seed

Moth boner activated

ivory mason

moth this season hasnt played enough but in general yea

willow tartan
#

jaegon vs moth mercy boxing for countdown cup content

tawdry hamlet
#

Despite that though Chengdu has the best support line in the league

#

So much depth

willow tartan
#

well thats because they have 4 cracked players

#

thats not fair

tawdry hamlet
#

You have 3

willow tartan
#

no other team has 4

#

Chengdu has a support line for their support line

tawdry hamlet
#

There's a lot of great supports lines though Glads Shanghai Chengdu Fusion

ivory mason
#

they dont even faraway

tawdry hamlet
#

Dallas

ivory mason
#

and i was so hyped for him

tawdry hamlet
#

Me too

ivory mason
#

mmonk really said sit down to faraway in a zen meta

ivory stag
#

wonder how balls nerf gonna look after this countdown cup

tawdry hamlet
#

But then they said fuck it other teams were gonna take mmonk and put aprita on our contenders team so you guys don't get the best free agent prospects even though we don't need em

#

Then it turned out

#

Mmonk is nuts

ivory mason
#

i really thought faraway was just gonna be their zen player after they play mmonk in the start

tawdry hamlet
#

Mmonk and Alarm are my favorite flex supports rn

willow tartan
#

its an overall buff tho

#

shields no cd

tawdry hamlet
#

Oooh oooh nyxl come on

ivory stag

his grapple needs a cooldown so he cant infinite roll

tawdry hamlet

Pls

willow tartan

grapple does have a cd

tawdry hamlet
ivory stag

no once you connect you can hold it forever it should only have like 3-6 seconds of hold'

willow tartan

ehh

you cant really do much holding down grapple

tawdry hamlet

He quoted fallout 4 song haha

#

you can get ccd out of it p easilly

Infinite roll or infinite speed roll ๐Ÿฅ

You can't hold on to something forever you mean?

Both should be kept, you can get cc'd out

ivory mason

you can

hollow bough

Yeah but, he doesnt like that as a feature

tawdry hamlet
#

Yeah I know but he said he wants it to have cooldown so I was clarifying

ivory mason

but thats not even that big of a thing

so you can swing on voskaya and lijang tower

ye

ivory stag
#

theres just no real counter to it even hitscan not really that good against it

abstract nova
#

Yep

willow tartan
#

It's not really the lack of hitscan

#

It's the echo

ivory stag
#

you could make mercy's flying to teammates cooldown longer to stop it possibly but then that ruins mercy as a healer

abstract nova
#

If this goes on it will be the most boring tournament so far

willow tartan
#

like even if Ashe wasn't banned and hitscans weren't nerfed, having a hitscan forces you to play a different comp and just lose from comp diff

ivory stag
#

@willow tartan i mean in general not just owl

weak bolt
#

The map pool is very nice for Pharah too. Decent maps for playing it

willow tartan
#

It's the echo ban that tips it over

#

During the summer showdown we still saw the echo to counter the pharah

ye

echo and ashe. Ashe/Mercy might well be enough to counter it
