No
if im37 still signed, yes
HAHAHAHAHHAHA
actually ow2 might be good for him
didnt they say its gonna be like 2023
Void is fucked anyways
Ouch
if he just hyper grinds a new hero and becomes a pro on one
what's wrong with void?
It’s only going to be a couple month longer off season
rememeber is 1 tank
tanks are gonna be reworked entirely in ow2 so players will have time to catch up
2 dps
Really not that bad
2 supports
unless they play musical chairs swapping mt and ot every time
I mean probably
We will get more tanks
You can't have only one tank player playing 10-15+ tank heroes
currently we have what, 8 ot+mt?
Report: Overwatch League To Go On 'Year-Long Hiatus' Before Season 5
Read more: https://t.co/UauhoOYFkR
Bit late
s5 in ow2 😎
The title is very misleading
journalism in a nutshell
Mhm
@Taytor_ow @GGReconEsports Name me another esport that had to take 3 extra months because they can’t plan/develop/transition properly
@haloofthoughts While the title is clickbait for attention, it is still extremely troubling.
Normal league start date was mid February.
This year was mid April.
Next year is July/August/September, With the potential to be delayed a whole year.
Blizz really shit the bed on OW2 and the league
dumb tweet
It's really not practical to respond to every rumor about our future plans, but in this case this story is inaccurate. We have not set nor communicated dates about our 2022 season yet but do not plan to take a 'year-long hiatus' in any scenario we are considering currently. https://t.co/hDJwN2szb5
So uh
lol what
Yiska got rolled
actually good question who the fuck is this news outlet
Ggrecon is yiska isn’t it
hes a journalist for them
dunno who owns em though
man why make a misleading title when the story has no founding in reality anyway
wait guys that means
no ow2 season 5

Yeah so he probably wrote this story
😦
Or he inferred something from another thing and he just looked too deep into it
Far too many overpaid folk out here eulogizing when they have no idea what they're talking about 🤷♂️
Mitch going for the throat
Thank fuck 
@kickedtripod You're assuming that this publication acted in good faith and gave OWL PR remotely enough time to respond to their request for comment, of course
Uber is angry
I think there is some truth to what yiska is saying though
In case you didn’t get this. Avast is joining the Florida Mayhem as a streamer https://t.co/xg3MA3ctHu
213
not sure if this way posted
Lmao people were acting like Florida getting a new team member with 2 regular season games
The current state of OW related journalism and headlines be like: "I heard from a friend of a friend who was quoting an acquaintance of a guy who definitely works closely with the OW dev team that..."
who is the commissioner of the overwatch league
specs?
i dont think so
idk
imagine your team being so shit u have to hype up signing avast for 2 days straight
who is the best not pro in all of overwatch?
Taiyo
He’s not a pro he’s just their friend :)
ans just got signed bc they missed him
They needed a quick striker replacement with a visa and ans was just about to take a break from valorant and go back to Korea
It was good timing
kragie id say
SP9RK1E apparently has been nominated for this award
so vote for him if you want
??? why did they pick that clip
4k barrage is cool
Take a trip down memory lane 🕰
For a limited time, we're unlocking the Overwatch League vault and re-releasing some Championship and MVP skins!
Available NOW 🔓 https://t.co/nAgqbt6Glr https://t.co/nmgrXQjbII
poggggg
YOOOOOOOOOOO
goat brig, sfs doom, LS winston, Jjonak zen'
wait what about the other skins
where are the all star skins ????
still by far the best zen skin
ye and i missed it :(((
wait
where is the roadhog skin
why would you give the doom one and not the other one
its only 4 skins
both idk
AYOO
pick what u want
i cant get both
marbel
bro
stfu
D:
old skins + countdown cup skin + all star skins + mvp skin + champion skin
im gonna need to bring out my wallet
shit
ok wtf
owl tokens are so expensive
do i really want to spend money
10 dollars per skin
ive been eating two meals a day lately
so
hmmm
this is a tough choice
well i will have time to think about it
my man are u on a hunger strike
since vault will be open for 12 days
man i remember the first game of this year
i bought some chips and drinks
actually so comfy
u had no gf back then
when is the s4 grand finals
10 tokens an hour?
i know that cause since u got one u couldnt stop talking about it
we are on the last week of the regular season
then we have knockouts
cc tournament
then play ins
then play offs
then final four
bruh dont hate on the player
ur dumb
Imagine Toronto gets 2nd seed for CC
They do
They played well
If other teams wanted it
They should’ve played better
oh shit
i need to get
old owl skins are back
500 more tokens
same
so with final week + knockouts + tournament + encore
LMAO i just realised owl is prolly doing this cause they need the money BAD
???
?
i doubt it lol
What lol
dude
holy shit im too poor for this
blizzard is rolling in so much money they could run overwatch league at a loss for 20 years and it wouldnt scratch them
Bro they have activision by their side.. a multi billion dollar company lmao
ill be ur sugar daddy
will there be a cc skin?
assuming that they really did needed the money do you really think releasing 4 skins is gonna replace the multiple multi million dollar sponsorships
like thats just stupid
yes

shut up
i need 500 more tokens by the 24th
i really only want the support all stars though
theyre not out lol
how many do you currently have
yea ik
i need around 500 then as well
yes
token farming lets goooo
fk it im gonna save up for the post season to buy skins as well
you need 800 for cc all stars and mvp right
yes
and you also need 800 for this
200+400+200
cant go to the grand finals in person
put that money instead to buying owl skins :)
owl tokens are so expensive
i need like 1000 more tokens lol
yeppers
do mvps get a cut of mvp skin revenue
i think i heard hearing about it
heard hearing something hear about it
yeah its like 50k i think
its finally been fixed
lets all hope for map 5 games in every single game
we shall pray
changing all my preds to map 5s from now on
honestly most of these games are fairly close other than shock titans
and paris london
lets hope for hour long pauses
yes
hoping for technical difficulties
maybe one of the players fall asleep mid game
i hope they win both games
i prefer mayhem over boston in play ins 100%
would you prefer kai pelican or bqb yaki
how good is kai tracer i saw it earlier
not as good as edisons
bqb and kai and both like top 3 ashes
tbh last year bqb did diff ksp on the ashe
but ksp widow >
Tracer matters more than every other character I think
yaki id say is like top 4 tracer
that would be dva
So yeah top 4
Decay has been doing nothing but carrying this entire season…
To say that he isn’t top 4 is just wrong
If only Shax was in a good team...
shax is an A tier tracer
fleta s or a
i mean
you forgot levy
on the tracer fleta is like uhh
if bqb and yaki were good, they'd carry checkmate to victory
thats a good question
cause like we havent seen fleta play against yaki or decay on the tracer
against profit/leave i think there's not much of a difference
yea im buying brig zen and monkey
blizzard knows what they're doing when they don't release the sinatraa mvp skin
Year long hiatus seems like some truth bending for clicks as the article says 2-3 months.
However having a longer off season or uncertain plans and teams wanting to drop rosters potentially is not good and clearly a very low value add for a franchised system.
BPLxOWL incoming https://t.co/moEubgkQ6d

get another wrist
I would if I could buddy
yeh, get roolf hands
unironically if i could afford good cybernetics n shit
and they had the capabilities of regular hands
id chop off my current ones to replace em
Idk about hands but maybe like legs or something hell yeah
id replace my whole body
like my body is so sore all the time
i feel like shit
im tired
tired of being tired
working out does not make you feel less like shit
touch grass
it does actually
its healthy for both body and mental
body feels sore goes work out
bro idk what kind of working out you do
but it most definitely does not make you feel less tired
gym and running
Go for a swim
helps a lot
well isn't the thing that marbel is trying to say is that working out makes you feel less like shit?
yes
I wouldn't call swimming/going for a walk to be dedicated exercise
those are leisure activities
also going outside sucks
it's always hot and humid and terrible
and there's covid and people and both of those suck
yes and I'm telling you your advice is wrong and unfounded
this is the conversation
working out made you feel less tired?
of course
what are you a fucking energy vampire
it gets ur body active
expending more energy does not help your body if it is already lacking energy in the first place
feeling sleepy
sleepy is not tired
you can feel tired without feeling sleepy
tired is when you are out of energy
exhausted
sleeping four hours a night probs
ouch
maybe I just need a better bed
my doctor said that the length of sleep matters less than the quality of sleep
5 hours of great sleep > 10 hours of shit sleep
yeah
hey guys i wonder why im tired
no
@plush grail
Called it
associate producer
not streamer like was with uprising
imagine not getting pokimane
smh
what does associate producer even do
more meme videos
Multiple League Sources have confirmed that their are teams who have not been informed by the Overwatch League of the earlier reported delay to the 2022 season.
Sources state in some case that today was the first they heard of it, while others have heard rumours.
1/

first one i got

Changsik mic went sicko mode
wait where do you see that
His discord

sadge
Wonder if he'll play or not then on sunday
Hope it doesn't last long, sound like it would be miserable to have
collapsed lung jeez
it says a while so it might be long term
I'm guessing Kai/Edison
Couple weeks usually for collapsed lungs
ATL could get fucked
as long as in time for playoffs tbh
cause no pelican carry
For the past month, @mizliz_ and I have been poking around the @overwatchleague about 2022. Given this morning's news and its rebuttals, providing some clarity.
Here's what's being discussed amid OWL officials and team owners amid OW2 uncertainity: https://t.co/fM1vjvCRoo
238
Andy Miller praised this in the comments, so its worth the read for those interested
Jacob is as legit as they come.
And a decent guy, had a good conversation with him a few blizzcons ago

https://twitter.com/ATLReign/status/1425606372218097668 ATL confirmed it
Earlier today, Pelican was taken to the hospital for a non-COVID related emergency.
While he is doing better and we are hopeful for a fast recovery, he will be staying in the hospital overnight for continued observation.

Think some people are misinterpreting here.
The GGRecon report earlier today was premature and far too definitive in its wording. There are a number of options, reported in this piece, that are being assessed. Plans will not be determined until closer to Grand Finals next month https://t.co/WXKewksafi
Time to make my moves, I can't decide what to lock in
.........so....apparently some of the OWL players made fanfics about other OWL players....
Swap creative and skewed
Hanbin and Vestola too
Eqo and Jinmu swap too
Then you probably dominate
Wait Pelican isn’t playing either
Guess you gotta put shy in
Rip bye week for pelican
He served his purpose last week
Punching bigger numbers than sp9rk1e 🔥
I have enough tokens for two of the four skins, which ones do I get?
I went for brig zen
Doom gauntlet looks dope and zen everything looks dope
I like the plane on the Winston though
Brig's is better than other brig skins
How many tokens do you have already?
I’m at 385
Naisu
I doubt I’ll make it to the third skin tho
Yeah same
Fr
So I'm guessing no Countdown Cup skin?
Probs not
If they aren'tt gonna do a skin and they don't release the other old ones I'll be sad because I know the fire and water are meh and the only one people care about rn is mercy but pls blizzard I need gengu skin

Goat brig goat brig
is there a age limit to join contenders?
I want the Lucio one the most
There's a SR minimum
No age boundary for contenders
cool how much is it to enter and what are the requirements for open?
carried my whole team and all i get for it is being called gay and telling me i suck ***** etc smh
OW used to be enjoyable =/
but yeah im very serious about trying to join contenders
Anyone can be open division. IIRC you just need to be masters+
hmm so i am stuck with a ranked system full of hackers? makes it unfair tbh
in game ranking system is completely busted i rather show my skill in person on players who i know are not cheating
Nevermind, there is no SR requirement.
also i dont have a team so i solo not easy to find players at my age to roll with in groups to make it easier being solo in ranked is near impossible
You can join any OD team/make a team.
There's no cost of entry either I believe, you'd just need to sign your team up.
Hmm is Contenders Open online or in person?
Everything is online at the moment.
Contenders and open division are always online yeah.
You'd be playing in your respective region.
NA/EU
Or KR/CN
then yeah i would be facing hackers / cheaters most likely
No.
what is to prevent players from cheating? no one is in person to oversee matches
Not the ranked ladder, you can right now sign up for open division.
Well I've never heard of any cases of hacking in open division. If you truly believe there are, then I'd say don't waste your time and don't bother trying to go pro.
no i never said that, i said who is to oversee matches and to prevent it
if u dont wanna face hackers dont play the game at all
Who oversees open division games?
The guys that run those games.
Idk, some blizzard staff.
This article is a list of players banned from various notable establishments, e.g. leagues, anti-cheat systems and Overwatch events.
most i see are just match fixing etc
i dont see adderall on the list
have a link to sign up? you can DM me if you want i am very interested
What country are you in?
US
what's the issue here
GameBattles is the largest cross-platform online esports service for cash prize tournaments & ladders. With over $10,000,000 in prizes awarded & 100,000,000 matches played, this is your path to pro. Start your journey.
You can sleuth through the list of teams if you want to join one of them.
That's open division, not contenders.
also looking at the banned players list
they became fucking soys with their punishment's for owl lmao
Oh and, every now and then teams will host open tryouts and shit.
Whilst you're gaming in OD you can also join a few of them.
Get your name known in the space.
yeah i think you have to start somewhere OD then contenders then owl
I mean not necessarily.
didnt an owl team sign some random player this season?
like just picked up some OD player
It's just a matter of getting yourself noticed. If you already have the talent for it, OD is what you can do immediately, contenders is if an org scouts you
thats basically it
be active on social media or something
If you are seriously considering competing, go for collegiate
internet online presence
Atm contenders/owl is way too volatile to be a dedicated goal imo
I don't think he would be qualified for collegiate
imagine the entire valiant roster gets sick of OWL and moves to collegiate with all players
they would look like a good team for once
They would get shit on by top collegiate teams
dont ask me how that would work because idk
who are practically t2 rosters
you mean the team that signed american tornado
There's other rosters iirc that have actual t2 players full of them
besides the AT one
yeah but theyre gonna win anyways
Contact Jonathan 9999 day ban? o_O
imagine getting the news that ur getting an OWL player for your collegiate team but its Roolf
rip

Maryville when they got halo 
but for collegiate he's probably not that bad
Halo is great in collegiate tho

Aspire is so much better than people give him credit for 
He's matched top tier dps with barely any prep time 
he hasnt played against profit yet so who cares right???
dude idk where aspire has been
like why only now was he picked up
its like shiny talent right in front of you
NA hitscan player
Think of the best hitscans in the league
the only one near the top that you would think of would be kai
and then like 500 korean hitscans
I mean think about it this way
Korea doesnt have a big valorant scene so the NA players do much more
like id say thers only been a couple of korean players that moved to val
Zunba 
People don't give the na contenders scene enough credit 
most teams field korean-speaking rosters
hitscan is hardcore competitive, and if you don't speak korean already it's even harder
so i imagine i just sign up under free agents?
wym?
like on the website?
I mean sure but you still gotta attend some team tryouts, look out for em on social media platforms n stuff to keep up with news
already on their official discord
someone actually asked if it was ok to use XIM wow
I mean open division is PC only
thank you @willow tartan you have been very helpful
Token farming :)
I can buy zen and brig and still have enough for the CC skin
theyere separate
How long does it take to recover from that?
No clue
Atlanta without pelican in the knockouts is gonna be rough
looks like qp
Pelican 
yep i mean i like to have fun too
he does pretty good definitely making good money even if he isn't winning 1st place
yeah
he's a rookie, rookies dont tend to get paid very much in their first contract
I mean definitely
owl players get housing food and other amenities
its just that the league min is 50k so itd be nothing special id imagine
Ye
No chance he got 50k
Pelican iirc was really highly regarded coming from contenders
and since it's atlanta I assume they payed him nicely
I mean he played for o2
so why isn't he playing anymore?
collapsed lung
I remember people saying he was one of the best contenders dps coming into the season, and it actually came true
if i had to guess
damn that's sad
I'd actually guess he got $90,000+
yeah
something around that number
i think the rookie that got paid the most money though would be mag
werent a TON of teams looking to pick him up?
roty and mvp babyyyy
hope he fully recovers there will certainly be a spot available for him when he does too
well hes still on the team
Worst case scenario, atlanta goes to hawaii and pelican can't go with them
he probably just wont play until he recovers
But assuming they get into playoffs and get to ignore play-ins, they won't have to play for another month from now
Thinking mag could be top 3 main tank pre season wasn’t that bad of a take, if you had seen his run in contenders
My issue is people rate so many contenders players so much
The problem is contenders success doesnt translate to owl success
british hurricane moment
I was told mag was some supreme god, but it turns out he's just a really good winston and his other tanks have a lot to be desired at times
I was told valentine was also super good
and that BH would be mid tier in owl 
i was told develop was secretly cracked but not as cracked as fleta
waiting for that double tracer meta
i feel like the game should stream contenders too and give more publicity for it
i mean in game link to it like they do OWL
where changsik wallpaper
Thinking mag could be top 3 main tank pre season wasn’t that bad of a take, if you had seen his run in contenders
last night i had a dream that i was fighting against ans ashe and fits widow on dorado
That sounds more like a nightmare 
i didnt get my head taken off but their team coordinated rush me down
Alright lads its time for contenders australia
Truetrue I wonder what na players are on ping this time around
Ooh and jkap 
Are there skins this month
japanese team 
This. This is such a good organic meme
wait so
after the playoffs, the grand finals will be like
couple days break?
between the two
since its in california
at least two weeks to determine if the flight is possible
worst case scenario, and it's definitely in the back of my mind
we crown separate East/West division champions of the overwatch league, pending difficulties with travel if you are out of the country flying in
and you name is not Shanghai or Seoul, who have better luck with it internationally
huh?...
no no the play ins is the separate one
then the 8 teams fly to dallas for playoffs
but then after that the grand finals is separate event that is gonna happen in california
so that means there must be a few days break between flying from dallas to california right?
The 2021 Overwatch League playoffs will be the postseason tournament of the 2021 Overwatch League regular season. The tournament will begin on September 16 and conclude with the 2021 Grand Finals, the fourth championship match of the Overwatch League (OWL), on September 25. The 2021 playoffs will mark the league's return to competition with live...
six days between travel
i think they move grand finals because
bigger arena
?
more seating
outlaws fans when you say their team isnt s tier
Incoming playoffs patch that overbuffs Junkrat and then Outlaws wins the Grand Finals
Then birdring steps into the arena
do australian contenders teams have any fans
With 138,446 shots missed, Molf1g was the best last weekend in Overwatch League! #AcesHigh @Spitfire #OWL2021

@trail perchnot sure if ur just a brainlet or trolling
yeah apac getting deadlifted by eqo this season ngl
Ima be real I did not read context at all
he's going insane
yeah but like
every NA team is shit
never has a NA team won a tournament
didn't AT win gauntlet?
AT is german
NA ALWAYS WINS WHEN ONLY NA TEAMS PLAY
can we have o2 and teamcc compete in na contenders
dude that would be sick
the top 3 of every region get to play eachother 
That’s called gauntlet
It happens every year
post season show matches between top contenders teams and some owl teams maybe 🙏
gauntlet isn't lan
But last year was online and regioned
yep
@tropic herald just shows how much i care about contendies
Gauntlet was traditionally LAN
2019
Was sick
The finals was ATL Academy v EM
Basically the same as ATL v DAL
but also show match against owl teams so we don't get British hurricane speculation
for the funs
whaat the fuck is a LAN
god i fucking hate Lan with a lowecase L
How do you not know what a LAN is
im joking dumbass ofc i know
winner of gauntlet fights winner of grand finals 😎
I just wanna see 02 and talon stomp on everyone else
I think any t2 korea team might legit win NA contenders

tf2 has only 1 developer btw
Even worse
nerd
isn't it 2 rn
they hired a second one???
they dont
and tf2 has a pretty okay comp scene
tf2 gets new cosmetics every year and so does ow
TF2 DOESN'T HAVE RATLANTA SO TF2 WINS
tf2 gets cosmetics as often as ow does?
tf2 get cosmetics when the planets align themselves
tbh
a lot of OW players are new to FPS's/games in general
or rather ow was their first fps/game
fuckin pine and super came from tf2 lmao
Danteh came from Minecraft.
two of my favorites fight each other,it came as no suprise when Danteh won, he is out of their league
he was top of uhc ladder
Pretty much every fight gave me +1 elo, so I didn't even bother putting their elo at the top of the screen. Really no point, the only person that gave me more than +2 was against Great. (Tylarzz)

ye literally only one other person got above it
and that was done like, 1 or 2 years after
find a hobby
get some bitches, touch some grass
that community is kinda ded now though
well not dead but it fell
after kohi and badlion dipped
minecraft gets more updates than ow and tf2 combined 
sad timses
okay i was looking through danteh's youtube channel and someone commented that he was done with minecraft and played overwatch professionally. but then he went on to say that the houston outlaws were "close to winning the grand finals"
THE SEASON 2 OUTLAWS
cause we still have one week of owl left
question ignored
danteh was a legend
top 5 pvper to top 5 flex dps
ahaha im just kidding he's not top 5
marve1 ball >>>>> gesture ball seoul come on plz
eh
Main tank no
Off tank
piggy maybe..?
happy maybe
supports no
lets see
void hanbin
?
yes he is hitscan
I think so
Lip Shy Ans Fits
Is Ans and kai better than happy this season though
yes

kai yes
He didn't even play that much
season wise
but LIP is by far number 1
at hitscan?
yes
not lip
talking about if happy is top 5
lip is a lock for that
hotba above piggy?
hotba?
thought we were talking about the whole season
lateyoung almost got dropped
if elsa didnt retire he would be out by now
not saying he's bad
he has been good
michelle
well didnt you just say you liked hotba this tournament
what are we going off of
I mean has choi looked that bad?
out of all the shock players
choi has looked comparatively the worst
like choi s3 vs choi s4 has the biggest difference
viol2t as well i guess
but then again he's playing a different role
god no
viol2t lucio fucking sucks
twilight fdgod should be there go to
but lucio is banned this tourney so fd benched
what are your top 5 main tanks
silver3
meaning we wont see fdgod post season
okay im thinking about it right now
not really easy
who do you think are the top 5 winstons in the league
i was thinking like fearless smurf guxue mag fate
michelle is a top 5 dva
Mag > Fate on winston
Mag haters when next year his team isn’t dogshit and they start calling him top 5 
but its just a team and coordination diff
yes thats why im list
Implying Washington will ever not be dogshit
fearless > smurf > guxue > mag > fate
just like gaga >>>> fate on ball
