Choisewahn lost in the sauce

gg go next map

[willow tartan]

Motherfucker was in mars

[stuck radish]

soldier is independent so that prob plays into it

[tacit skiff]

yt chat not knowing what a c9 is

[weak bolt]

for YT chat, it's a c9 any time a team caps. Doesn't matter the scenario, someone will say c9

[willow tartan]

well if you know the enemy isn't gonna run pharah why not tracer? (Ignoring teams without good tracers)

if coaches think soldier will become omega overtuned during the playoffs then it makes sense

to practice it now while you can

[weak bolt]

He did get a buff on experimental again didnt he?

[tacit skiff]

I'm with James on this one

[willow tartan]

What buff?

Another one??.

[weak bolt]

Didn't he get like +1 damage, but then his heal lost 5 hps

[willow tartan]

that went through

it's alright I don't see the big game changing ness

[tacit skiff]

a couple days ago

[stuck radish]

you know what, fuck it

[weak bolt]

I don't think that's live on OWL yet though

[stuck radish]

orisa dive meta

[willow tartan]

but I'm not an owl pro

it's not on owl yet

I just don't see how that will make him better than tracer imo

meta is gonna be double shield/ball sombra with pharah thrown into the mix sometimes

[weak bolt]

Guess it depends what you're playing. Soldier is going to be far stronger vs mcree/brig for example

[tacit skiff]

Oceania deserves an owl team

change my mind

[forest raven]

No we don't

[willow tartan]

They don't even have 6 people living in Australia

[tacit skiff]

pfft

let Chex hold down another team apart from Boston

[weak bolt]

If anything, we deserve more Korean city based teams

[willow tartan]

^^^

[weak bolt]

How we only have one Korean franchise is astonishing

[willow tartan]

can we get an ansan team and a busan team

[tacit skiff]

Pyongyang Human Rights Deniers

[weak bolt]

Part of me wonders if Seoul bought the rights to be the exclusive Korean team or something

[tacit skiff]

I'm surprised Shenzhen didn't get a team during the expansion phase

[willow tartan]

yeah

[tacit skiff]

that's like Chinese silicon valley

[willow tartan]

Chengdu getting one before Shenzhen is weird

But alas

It is the interest of the orgs that buy into owl

We need more Chinese gaming orgs

[tacit skiff]

eh

maybe like two more Chinese teams

[willow tartan]

How many does US have?

[tacit skiff]

need more euro teams

asap

[weak bolt]

Yeah you've got to go where the fans/money is. Rather than pure geographical location

[willow tartan]

They should balance each other out on each region

[idle beacon]

what was that charge tracer doing?

[willow tartan]

China, EU, NA

owl season 12 will have 3 regions of 12 teams each

mark my words

[weak bolt]

EU owl is pointless unless they make their own region for it imo.

[tacit skiff]

they shouldn't need to do that, that's why I miss the Atlantic and Pacific regions and not East and West

[willow tartan]

yeah...

[tacit skiff]

let teams on the Pacific battle teams on the Pacific, let's Atlantic teams fight Atlantic teams

[willow tartan]

Covid fucked everyone

[lime field]

do you think they would bring in more teams now though seems unlikely

[weak bolt]

It took 3 seasons for EU teams to actually have EU players too. That was disappointing

[tacit skiff]

Although it would 100% suck to have every asian team stuck playing against the same teams

like it does now

I miss watching Seoul fail to beat teams like Boston back in s1

[weak bolt]

I'm from UK, and would love to supported London in S1, but there was nothing British about it in any way to get behind

[willow tartan]

I thought British people hated London

[weak bolt]

We do, but at least it'd still be a local team

[willow tartan]

fair enough

[tacit skiff]

I've completely forgotten about the match

[willow tartan]

anyway when will Russia get OWL teams? We had Russian OWL players in season 1 and then they all disappeared

[tacit skiff]

The only city I'd see getting a team is Moscow

[willow tartan]

Moscow, Saint Petersburg

[tacit skiff]

I think Turkey should get a team

[willow tartan]

Ankara?

Istanbul

[stuck radish]

give zimbabwe a team

[lime field]

i want a team japan with weeb marketing

[tacit skiff]

Istanbul or Ankara would work

[willow tartan]

Also Germany, Germany needs an owl team

[tacit skiff]

I can't name any other Turkish cities

[willow tartan]

Japan I'm surprised doesn't have an owl team yet tbh

[tacit skiff]

Berlin Blitzkrieg

[willow tartan]

[lime field]

same

[tacit skiff]

If Japan got a team, I wouldn't want it to be Tokyo based

[stuck radish]

they specialize in rolling the paris eternal

[lime field]

ta1yo in a japanese team would be nice kekw

needs more playtime

[willow tartan]

also consider indian owl teams

[tacit skiff]

Does India play ow?

[willow tartan]

probably?

they're a huge potential viewerbase for OW

So owl should expand there as well

[tacit skiff]

I don't think I've ever met an Indian person on ow

[willow tartan]

well.. What region you play in?

[tacit skiff]

NA West

[willow tartan]

India would play in middle east/Asia servers

[tacit skiff]

like a chad

[weary widget]

Asia servers

[willow tartan]

why do you think you don't meet them

[weary widget]

i play asia and there are indians

not surprising

[lime field]

i know a lot of filipino's playing ow i feel like they have a large playerbase kekw

[tacit skiff]

there's gotta be one indian person willing to play on na west servers

[willow tartan]

or you know... indian americans

[tacit skiff]

nah it's gotta be an Indian from India to count

[weary widget]

gatekeeping indians

or at least do good in OW world cup

[quaint aurora]

am soviet can confirm

[tacit skiff]

Soviet Union in 2021

cursed

[willow tartan]

can we bring back the soviets so we get a good EU owl team?

[tacit skiff]

LMAO

[weary widget]

[tacit skiff]

only for that reason

[weary widget]

yep

[tacit skiff]

while we're at it we can set up puppet teams in eastern europe

[willow tartan]

the Warsaw Warriors

[tacit skiff]

that's not a bad team name

I would be up for Contenders orgs to become owl orgs

and get placed in cities around the globe by Blizzard

[willow tartan]

never gonna happen

not in a million years

[tacit skiff]

Syria should get a team

[willow tartan]

activision blizzard owns the call of duty franchise and world of warcraft

[tacit skiff]

Activision Blizzard, the company rolling in money, has the tendency to leave franchises, studios and everything else if it doesn't make enough money or meet expectations

It seems Activision has become more profitable than King since CoD Mobile blew up

But yeah

[tacit skiff]

people still play cod mobile?

[forest raven]

Acti-Blizz's two biggest profit drivers are mobile games

[willow tartan]

yes

mobile games are huge

since you dont need a pc to play

From the Q2 earning report

[sullen berry]

and I have asked the people internally with Guangzhou

[balmy wolf]

[sullen berry]

it's probably not being announced anytime soon

[tacit skiff]

a mobile game is making as much as Warzone

wow

[sullen berry]

if you don't have an international store

[forest raven]

King had 255 million MAU's in Q2

[sullen berry]

then ask your local asia team fan to order a jersey and see if you have much luck

[forest raven]

Activision had 127 million MAU's in Q2

[tacit skiff]

a large pvp balance patch + PvE story content?

as a sequel?

Honestly, what a crazy marketing decision

[willow tartan]

i prefer the model of games being continually updated like siege or gta

over sequels

ow2 isnt a sequel

since you can play it if you own ow1

Wow, passion project of figuring out how to colonize the only place we can escape our rock if we ever run out of resources or have our sun explode

[tepid ibex]

Just give zarya a soviet skin

Ez

[digital cloud]

Very short sighted

[raw ermine]

which OWL team corresponds to which political belief?

lets see

[quaint aurora]

zarya isn't a soviet

[tacit skiff]

our sun will explode in 3 billion years, our Oceans will boil in hundreds

[quaint aurora]

she's like the post ussr russian

[tepid ibex]

She serves for her people

[raw ermine]

atlanta would be monarchy

[idle beacon]

@forest raventhere's still a family far more richer than bezos. if you didn't know

[tacit skiff]

Zarya is a humanitarian

[willow tartan]

Saudi royal family

[tepid ibex]

Zarya would definitely put someone in a gulag for the government though

[raw ermine]

boston would be the equivalent of the US, but in 1776

[idle beacon]

nope

[digital cloud]

How the hell did this chat get here

[tacit skiff]

Reestablish the colonies

[wicked pendant]

As a Ball main, Ball is the most like us: Forced to participate in a system he has little control in, and is doing the best he can even though ultimately it will lead nowhere for him

[digital cloud]

How is this esports related anyhow

[willow tartan]

Let's talk about overwatch guys

[idle beacon]

i dont know. they were talkin about activision and how much they make

[willow tartan]

So who are your knockout preds?

[tacit skiff]

America should reverse colonize Europe no cap

[raw ermine]

talking about OW
talking about OW2
talking about blizz
talking about kotick
talking about how he is rich

then politics

[digital cloud]

I see

[wicked pendant]

I'm still thinking the Titans are gonna beat the Justice today, boys

I can feel it

I feel it in my gut

My heart

My bone marrow

[tacit skiff]

THEY ARE

Vancouver is literally unstoppable

[barren quest]

Imagine believing in Justice

[digital cloud]

Well, zunba and bunny are going to a major in Valorant

@willow tartantheir net assets is more than 200billions

[barren quest]

They are so shit

[digital cloud]

Feeling proud of the ex ow guys

[civic cloud]

Oh Philly smh lol

[wicked pendant]

I wanna see Danny tear up his foam Justice shield on stream today

[tacit skiff]

Philadelphia having a chance to win a tournie? Feels like 2019-2020 all over again

[forest raven]

Philly wasn't gonna win shit in 2019

They sucked

[idle beacon]

btw, london spitfire is the team with more americans/europeans than koreans, right?

[willow tartan]

phialladelpahia will win

[tacit skiff]

Phillie hopium

6-1

[barren quest]

Justice getting swept by Toronto of all teams

[willow tartan]

London Paris are western

[barren quest]

Can't wait for the 3-0 sweep by Titans

[civic cloud]

I support my team even though they aren't the same team. I wish we did at least have Sado back

[tacit skiff]

the Euro teams went for Euro rosters

worked well for one I suppose

[willow tartan]

You want sado?

can we get a SadoChug?

[tacit skiff]

Giving away im37 for free, any takers?

[civic cloud]

I just don't think I like Hotba

[willow tartan]

[civic cloud]

Not with Philly

That's really it

[willow tartan]

Sado and hotba are different roles

[civic cloud]

True, I really can't figure out what the problem is, I mean, we looked good last year

[idle beacon]

ye i know about paris being non-korean. wasn't sure about which other team. besides houston

[willow tartan]

they should have poko though...

[barren quest]

Poko still not with the team sadge

[civic cloud]

Really Poko? Why do you say?

[willow tartan]

Because he is stuck in Europe

No visa yet

[idle beacon]

poor poko

[civic cloud]

I never really thought Poko was that good tbh.

[idle beacon]

loved watching his dva

now i enjoy watching void

[willow tartan]

you prefer hotba over poko then?

[civic cloud]

I just noticed a lot of the time when I see Poko playing, he dies.

No I would prefer Hotba lol

[idle beacon]

yo yo

am i seeing right? are valiants totally chinese only?

[tepid raft]

when referring to e sports teams, what does the tier system mean?

[idle beacon]

how good is this chinese valiant team?

[willow tartan]

Chengdu and Valiant are the Chinese teams

valiant is contenders scraps

Chengdu is stacked

[next mesa]

Valiant is the most dogshit roster ever

[forest raven]

Valiant is a roster made by an org that has no interest in being in esports

[idle beacon]

wait, hunters also totally chinese? where have them all been, when season1 started and shanghai needed proper players?

[next mesa]

s1 dragons u had fearless, ado, diya and geguri

[willow tartan]

Hunters aren't all Chinese

They have most Chinese though

[forest raven]

Who isn't Chinese on Chengdu

[willow tartan]

what's his face

[forest raven]

Elsa was Chinese

OW2 News

I've heard from multiple people close to my original source with OW2 that the development is taking longer than expected. From what I can gather a release in 2022 does not seem likely anymore. I hope this is false and I'm proven wrong.

who am I thinking of

[idle beacon]

it shows only chinese players, when hovering over the hunters team.

[wicked pendant]

Can OWL survive another year if OW2 doesn't launch 2022?

[forest raven]

There have only been two non-Chinese players on Chengdu

[willow tartan]

oh wait I'm thinking of hangzhou

[forest raven]

And they're ATing and Baconjack

[willow tartan]

Hangzhou is the one with the some Korean players

guxue mcd

[forest raven]

Who are Taiwanese

[idle beacon]

ow2 not coming in 2022? i doubt people will still have interest in ow2 if they need another 2 years

[willow tartan]

not guzue what drugs am I taking

MCD is the Korea

[idle beacon]

😄

[forest raven]

MCD, IDK, Architect, Bernar, and SMS are Korean

[willow tartan]

MCD idk sms

Yes

They have Mika and coldest on bench warming duty smh

[next mesa]

respect ✊

[idle beacon]

anyway. these hunters players, weren't they playing when the owl started?

[willow tartan]

some were

a lot were contenders pickups

[next mesa]

So basically they replaced ameng with an actual good main tank woooo

[forest raven]

Gaga pounds

[next mesa]

and then switched molly with mmonk

😩

[forest raven]

Mmonk is insane

Roty contender in my book

[willow tartan]

alarm roty

give him another one

[forest raven]

Chengdu would get fucked in a double hitscan meta

Luckily hitscan hasn't been meta all year

[next mesa]

Leave Jimmy

[willow tartan]

?

They have leave and Jimmy

[forest raven]

Jimmy sucks

[idle beacon]

it's just odd that the ShD organisation haven't gotten some of them hunters players.

[forest raven]

Leave would pound obviously

[willow tartan]

no he doesn't

[willow tartan]

They got molly

[idle beacon]

ye now

i'm talking about season1

and btw, geguri isn't chinese

[forest raven]

Shanghai was basically corrupt in season 1

[idle beacon]

corrupt?

[willow tartan]

It's no secret that Chengdu hogs all the good Chinese talent

[forest raven]

U4 and Undead picked and chose who would be on the team p much

[idle beacon]

aren't they them blizzard china dudes?

[willow tartan]

undead omegalul

[forest raven]

And fucked over players from rosters like Miraculous Youngsters which was far and away the best Chinese roster at the time

[willow tartan]

feelsbad

[forest raven]

But players like Leave were underage when OWL first started

[willow tartan]

lige where

[forest raven]

Lige

[idle beacon]

yea i remember something like that. those blizzard-china dudes not picking the MY team, but instead their own crap team. something like that, right?

[willow tartan]

corruption go brrrr

but hey

look at where fearless is now

[forest raven]

Shanghai pretty much changed the entire organisation from the top down after season 1

[idle beacon]

diya was still playing until 2020?

[willow tartan]

yep

and dding

[idle beacon]

dding not chinese 😛

[willow tartan]

what happened with the MY team, btw?

[forest raven]

They disbanded at the end of 2017

Just before OWL

[idle beacon]

too bad, eh

[tacit skiff]

yeah so apparently

indian overwatch players are forced to play on na or eu servers

and pretty much have to make callouts in english

bcuz no one in na or eu understands Hindu

so
you don't see a lot of Indian players

[digital cloud]

Why can’t they use Asian servers?

[tacit skiff]

idk

ask Blizzard

does anyone remember what happened to Toronto eSports getting replaced by Uprising Academy

[willow drum]

lol shanghai have a 2 points

and - 1

[next mesa]

Gesture gets a lot of shit but

His Winston is honestly still solid

He should never touch ball though

Seoul completed 3 reverse sweeps this season no other team did 2 😩

[wicked pendant]

I'm in Southeast Asia and I USED to connect to the same servers that aussies use, which was fine.

Then the crossplay update launched and now I'm being put in games with Koreans almost exclusively

I cannot speak Korean

It's the actual thing that made me stop playing comp

[willow tartan]

just play at ungodly hours

also wtf language you were speaking then?

even in south east asia you got malaysian, indonesian, filipino, chinese, vietnamese

thai as well ive seen a bit

[hot onyx]

Hot take

Justice is going to win a map vs Titans

[willow tartan]

I believe it

[hot onyx]

Ok how about another hot take

Chengdu make it to knockouts

[next mesa]

how is that a hot take

oh wait ur joking

[hot onyx]

Don’t you have a knockouts game to choke?

[mortal abyss]

seoul vs fusion in knockouts will be the true choking contest

[willow tartan]

nyxl vs chengdu

[hot onyx]

Watch Charge make knockouts

[next mesa]

who just got reverse swept?

at least we make it to the knockouts 🤡

[hot onyx]

we

“The Seoul Dynasty announce the signing of flex dps ‘Levy’”

[north relic]

hot take: philly makes it to hawaii

[mortal abyss]

[noble nexus]

Levy would probably get more playtime than sbb if they signed him tbf

[north relic]

levy benches profit

[noble nexus]

believable

profit who??

[hot onyx]

Volcanic take

[next mesa]

I mean Im basically a member

Profit is just my alt account

I just troll on it each weekend yk

[feral zodiac]

Hot take: Shock don't implode

[hot onyx]

Please post a hot take that is remotely plausible

[feral zodiac]

Justice actually live up to the hype next season

[tacit skiff]

we have faith in Vancouver

[sage kernel]
