Happy has never looked better in his OW career

[wild cape]

happy is on and off

[earnest leaf]

Happy got hit by the hitscan curse this season

[wild cape]

^

[earnest leaf]

All your heroes are dogshit 90% of the time

[sullen berry]

Yeah he's still inconsistent to some

[earnest leaf]

So he has to flex onto heroes he isn't known for

[vagrant cargo]

Shu Izayaki mmonk kaan viol2t twilight fielder alarm creative iris

All easily better then crimzo

[wild cape]

i think crimzo and piggy are the best players on the team atm

[vagrant cargo]

Who is p much just a healbot most of the time

[sullen berry]

It's like the fleta deadlift but tbh he never played DPS as that kind of carry player in the past

[sullen berry]

Feelsblaseman

[worn falcon]

Same Ans

no time for snipe when ball exist

[vagrant cargo]

Id favor farway over crimzo as well farway is almost just as good as mmonk

[worn falcon]

he got many times to swtich

[vagrant cargo]

And gangnamjin has still been good this szn

[sullen berry]

Whereas Eileen is someone why I have yet to understand never pulled out the sombra plays this year to carry the team

[vagrant cargo]

Id say mcd and crimzo are pretty muxh the same player

[worn falcon]

mcd more like mcdenied

[vagrant cargo]

Both have okay mechanics and decent gamesense

[worn falcon]

[vagrant cargo]

Fs is just super stacked

Id say u can make a case for myunbong>crimzo as well

[tawdry hamlet]

gangnamjin underrated af this year because his team sucked turbo ass for 10 games straight

:(((

he looked phenomenal early on

[vagrant cargo]

Yeah

Agreed

Anyways

Give Houston a New backline like vindaim twilight and they would be out of mediocrity

[earnest leaf]

Get yaki on a good team please

[vagrant cargo]

Yaki shock

😳

[earnest leaf]

that would be awesome

but nero is also really good

[willow tartan]

Yaki to fuel

[vagrant cargo]

Yaki better

Id also like yaki spark

[wild cape]

dalton on houston 😳

[tawdry hamlet]

yaki on shock would be great but flex dps isn't their biggest issue at the moment I think

[earnest leaf]

Nah you all got it wrong

Yaki to justice

[tawdry hamlet]

so it would be pointless to spend money on it

yaki to justice would be fun to replace assassin

[north relic]

Does yaki play sombra

[tawdry hamlet]

or decay tbh

[earnest leaf]

no idea

[vagrant cargo]

Also a fdps in tier 2 who is kinda underrated rn

Alphayi

[earnest leaf]

but he's probably better than assassin on sombra

[vagrant cargo]

And yski sombra is decent

[tawdry hamlet]

so how washed is architect nowadays, where does he rank on the scale of flex dps

[vagrant cargo]

He just suffers the birdring leave sombra curse of playing her like tracer

[earnest leaf]

last i've heard architect is still solid

[vagrant cargo]

I think architecht is low B

[wild cape]

prediction for next season: checkmate is main tank for every game of mayhem's season and charges into the backline as a chad and carries his team to grand finals

[vagrant cargo]

He has been mediocre asf

W some decent peaks

[willow tartan]

Architect is alright. He gets the job done.

[earnest leaf]

Hard to rate him since spark shit the bed this year

[vagrant cargo]

He just gets kinda diffed everygame

[willow tartan]

At least he actually listens to his coaches.

[tawdry hamlet]

HZ have so much potential to build a solid roster for next year with their money and the talent floating around apac

[vagrant cargo]

Also he isnt kevster

So why bother

🥱

Also what abt fusion bernar

And then yaki gargoyle gangnamjin go to spark

[willow tartan]

fdgod and rapel to Seoul. shock and dallas don't need em

[earnest leaf]

Honestly florida's roster is fine

they just need a good main tank

[worn falcon]

he is solid but spark is weird with many coach joining and leaving

[north relic]

Doesn’t yaki still have a year left with mayhem

[vagrant cargo]

Nah slime is rlly meh

[north relic]

Shock need fdgod imo

[worn falcon]

bring back pissure to florida

[wild cape]

checkmate 😎

[earnest leaf]

checkmate is worse than hadi

[north relic]

Slime works very well with feeding mts

[willow tartan]

sign bumper to florida

[wild cape]

best main tank in the league ez

charging into the backline is the meta for next season

checkmate really out here defining the meta

[vagrant cargo]

Yet he still looked meh on seoul w GESTURE

[north relic]

Why not just play dive then

[vagrant cargo]

Who is the gigafeeder

[wild cape]

because it's rein checkmate liberals

[willow tartan]

he needs his duo

[north relic]

Slime in shock

[tawdry hamlet]

Which washed barely in the league player is going to London next? Hmm, colorhex? Logix? Linkzr? Hmm

[worn falcon]

Dalton

[tawdry hamlet]

[wild cape]

you’re dead to me

[north relic]

How come it’s all dps

[willow tartan]

kariv

[tawdry hamlet]

Fax

Lmao

Kariv the most overrated player

[worn falcon]

Pls kariv still solid

Moth overrated

And benched

[willow tartan]

ljg>moth

[worn falcon]

Skewed > Moth

[earnest leaf]

Moth better mercy/lucio, ljg better brig

[north relic]

Lucio is debatable

[willow tartan]

ljg is a role star 😎😎😎

[worn falcon]

I remember Moth having a solid Lucio

[north relic]

Didn’t moth get role star last year

I forgot

[willow tartan]

no violet did

[north relic]

Who got role star last year

[willow tartan]

it was violet alarm fdgod leejaegon

[earnest leaf]

moth was robbed of it last year

[willow tartan]

for supports

[tawdry hamlet]

Moth was the best mercy in the world last year

[earnest leaf]

He was the best MS last season

[north relic]

This year it could be 4 fs

[earnest leaf]

When it came to lucio/mercy he was #1 imo

[north relic]

Yea he really turns up during pla-

[willow tartan]

But it wasn't as Chad as Yveltal's.

[north relic]

His mercy gets creative sometimes

[willow tartan]

Big dick mercy gameplay

[tawdry hamlet]

Imagine how stacked Chengdu would be if they kept molly too

[worn falcon]

Yveltal dps mercy

[tawdry hamlet]

The mega support line

[worn falcon]

[earnest leaf]

It is funny watching yvetal whip out his gun on mercy constantly

[north relic]

Mmonk is better anyway

[worn falcon]

Yeh

[earnest leaf]

10 hp and dps running me down? Glock out bitch

[worn falcon]

He does so much that

[willow tartan]

Support line to help the covid pandemic.

Mmonk Yveltal Nisha Faraway Molly

[tawdry hamlet]

Mmonk Molly Farway would be a criminal hoarding of supports lmao

[north relic]

How does yveltal have like 1.8 blaster kills per 10

[worn falcon]

Also surprisingly we didn't get like huge changes to OWL like last year

I mean patch wise

[willow tartan]

They are waiting for the 5 supports + Reinhardt meta

[worn falcon]

This time was what? The hitscan nerf

[willow tartan]

The playoffs patch is not here yet...

[worn falcon]

Back to Echo i guess

[tawdry hamlet]

The amount of really good benched flex supports this year go crazy

[worn falcon]

Which ones?

[willow tartan]

m1ka moment

[worn falcon]

I think there was more fs than anything

On brig jail

Honestly, I wonder how many current players are gonna drop OWL

[willow tartan]

I'm gonna say at least 6

[worn falcon]

Before we get OWL Contenders Edition

[willow tartan]

(The Los Angeles Valiant)

[wild cape]

is there ever a possibility of new teams joining the league or is it out of the question

[worn falcon]

It was planned for this and next season

[wild cape]

oh.

[worn falcon]

Then covid and actiblizz thing happened

[wild cape]

did they specify the teams or countries

[willow tartan]

But Covid = teams make less money

[worn falcon]

Plus how expensive were the slots

[willow tartan]

So maybe next year.

[worn falcon]

30-50m per slots

[wild cape]

sheesh

[worn falcon]

And org not getting profit from blizz

[wild cape]

me omw to win the lottery just so avoided can be an overwatch league team

[willow tartan]

they would never sell profit

he's a league icon

[worn falcon]

This season was to convince investors with the homesteads

But you know

[willow tartan]

So was last season LOL

[worn falcon]

Wait that was last year

Yes

Yeh last year was to convince investors

Covid happened

Now were in covid 2 electric bogaloo

[willow tartan]

I don't get ppl acting like the end of the world though. Life moves on and so will the League when covid is finally gone.

[wild cape]

Covid: The Third

[willow tartan]

Maybe not in America, but we don't need any more American teams ;)

[wild cape]

Australia would be cool

but really really unlikely I’d assume

[worn falcon]

Iirc was to have many teams in USA like the NBA, NFL, Soccer and such

And having slot for china/korea/any part of EU

[willow tartan]

USA has football teams lol?

[wild cape]

yeah they have a league

[willow tartan]

When was the last time USSF made a tournament?

[worn falcon]

The thing is OWL was developed using the same structure as your regular sports

That's why we see many executives with experience in those up here

[wild cape]

except without throwback uniforms apparently

[willow tartan]

Eh, it's built more like American franchised sports leagues.

[worn falcon]

Like the last commissioner

[willow tartan]

Like the NBA and NFL

[worn falcon]

Yep, NFL/NBA

[wild cape]

and affordable merch!

[willow tartan]

Bro I can't even buy merch they don't ship here.

[worn falcon]

Instead happening organically like Riot stuff

Or Apex tournie

They're stubborn with the franchise thing and sponsors

also homestead would be became a mess

teams traveling here and there every week

[earnest leaf]

Also

shanghai have no excuse for not winning this season

They have everything working in their favor atm

should win it all

[worn falcon]

Inb4 they choke

Wouldn't be the first top team who flops hard

London, Seoul, NYXL, Shock

[tawdry hamlet]

Tbf the only affordable NFL/NBA merch is used or by third parties lmao actual NFL jerseys are like 200 dollars it's stupid

[wild cape]

oh cool

but not really

[tawdry hamlet]

I buy off brand owl merch because fuck spending 100 bucks on a jersey lmaoo

[worthy void]

is there a double elim bracket to get in play offs

[wild cape]

it's single elimination for play ins

but playoffs is double

[worthy void]

ah alr

[willow tartan]

cant even use travel copium anymore since no LAN games

[earnest leaf]

and ball getting buffed for playoff patch

[tawdry hamlet]

Unless there is a hard hog meta or a super hard ball nerf. Shanghai have no excuse other than they just got beat

Especially with na teams having to travel lmao

It's weird Dallas and Shanghai going ez has almost given me this idea that maybe they aren't as high above the rest as we thought, maybe they are weakened

[willow tartan]

dallas maybe but I have full faith in Shanghai

[tawdry hamlet]

Idk LA was playing insane overwatch that easily could have kept up with Dallas imo

Yeah Shanghai played bench players so I know they were meming for sure

But Dallas im not sure

[willow tartan]

Before Dallas were taking it easy they were already on a downward trajectory (in terms of how close their games were)

[tawdry hamlet]

Yeah

[willow tartan]

Shanghai so far has gotten better every stage.

[tawdry hamlet]

But na was also on a downward trajectory as a whole considering after June joust where Dallas got reverse yeeted and then na as a whole just got fucked in summer showdown since Dallas and Atlanta could beat all of na with their own comps, but they couldn't actually play ball lmao

So na just got bodied so hard

Shanghai coming out in summer showdown on pharah was just such a curveball that it made them look amazing

[willow tartan]

The real curve ball for me was when they whipped out the counter-counter comp with the reaper winston shit against Chengdu and shut them down entirely.

[tawdry hamlet]

Also been thinking decay to a team like Florida to cover tracer echo type metas could be sick

Imagine yaki echo decay tracer

[sullen berry]

At this rate I'd start relegating decay's hot streaks to faint embers

I've yet to watch a justice match however, so enlighten me if he still plays carry for them

[tawdry hamlet]

I mean to be fair, mechanically he has looked as good as ever, his team itself is just imploding from lack of any synergy much like Florida

[willow tartan]

Honestly though, Shanghai has got to win right? If they're ever going to win, this year is the year.

[tawdry hamlet]

This year the ball is 100 percent in their court

[earnest leaf]

Been saying decay is overrated since before the season started

[tawdry hamlet]

I said that about profit

And got so much shit

[sullen berry]

I was wondering when we'd start to see the ghost of Fissure resurrected in a DPS player

[willow tartan]

If the meta reverts to skew towards heavily NA playstyles then that might cause some trouble.

[tawdry hamlet]

Seoul is literally just gz but with better dps and a flex support

[sullen berry]

I think decay can bounce back, he hasn't been That demotivated this year being an all KR roster

[tawdry hamlet]

I hope Jerry sees more playtime the few times he was able to run Ashe cree he looked lethall

Wish Boston had kept him and just signed a tracer player rather than have im37 do it 🥺

[sullen berry]

Crazy anyone would be compare a team to Guangzhou, but that's as on point as it gets for me

[willow tartan]

Gesture > Rio

[tawdry hamlet]

GZ Seoul
Depending on dps popping off aside from minor pop off plays by one player ie crong / creative

[willow tartan]

I still would like to point out that Profit has gotten POTM for 50% of all the games Seoul have won.

[tawdry hamlet]

[willow tartan]

He's literally been the most MVP MVP in OWL history.

[tawdry hamlet]

I don't know what to do with nyxl, what could they upgrade besides Friday and Yakpung since I assume jjonak is never leaving

[willow tartan]

I bet all the s1 players have an ongoing bet where the last person to leaves the league gets money

like a mr beast video

[tawdry hamlet]

Loll

Last person to leave the overwatch league wins a Lamborghini!

Or wait

Last person to take their hand off the overwatch league wins a Lamborghini

[willow tartan]

They've been putting a percentage of their league earnings to it and the prize pool gets bigger every season.

[tawdry hamlet]

Imagine it's like free parking in Monopoly just all the tax money and shit plopped in the middle

[willow tartan]

It's exactly like that.

[tawdry hamlet]

Lolll

I hope spark don't fumble this off season please

[next mesa]

kinda true

[tawdry hamlet]

They have good tank pieces and an amazing rookie dps talent, architect is not amazing but dependable, seominsoo literally shouldn't be on the team lmao, and supports barely got play time

[sullen berry]

Spark is a lot like old GZ - a gatekeeper season for the bottom 4 and nothing more lately

Due to communication issues between players

[willow tartan]

they dont need to change anything they just need to play their players

[sullen berry]

And I doubt it's entirely Chinese Korean based, but a couple things indicate it as such

[tawdry hamlet]

They should sign Choi or Eileen

[willow tartan]

where is godsb btw

[sullen berry]

Upgrade Architects mental, he has shown up but it's really inconsistent

[tawdry hamlet]

I can see why godsb left because no playtime after seeing shy on hitscan

[sullen berry]

Like shitting on Hunters at their homestand while subsequently eliminated by NYXL out of nowhere

[tawdry hamlet]

GodsB just can't compete with that

[willow tartan]

he has a place in the league though

[tawdry hamlet]

Godsb gz would be nice

[willow tartan]

yes it would

[tawdry hamlet]

Shame mykayleee didn't pan out

[sullen berry]

I think it's upsetting our head coach didn't proper

Coaching was a mess this year

[willow tartan]

remember when ppl were saying mer1t was gonna go to charge

and then that never happened

[tawdry hamlet]

Idk why I had so much pre season hype for charge

[sullen berry]

Not as bad as London, or the even younger talent like on Titans

[tawdry hamlet]

I swore kruise just made kariv look bottom tier but it turns out he just is now

[sullen berry]

Just go back to your posts or anyone's back in November last year

[willow tartan]

what did i say in november i wonder

[tawdry hamlet]

I said mykayleee Roty so uhh, yeah

[sullen berry]

I was ready to expect disappointment when mandu was signed, I never ever saw a game he was subbed in that he looked all that comfortable

[tawdry hamlet]

Chara going to coaching is a shame

He was dependable albeit not amazing

[sullen berry]

And NYXL managed to sell him off beside some of the best players among sbb, Mano, and hitba (lol)

[tawdry hamlet]

Fucking insane to see what Nero happy Shu can do with proper coaching tho sheesh

It's just crazy what not playing boink and Muma can do for a team lmaoo

[sullen berry]

Nero has looked so far a lot better off, since Charge's founding principles have gone to the gutter after failing to secure any more western international visas

Seeing as they thought Rio and Cr0ng were enough to hold the fort, their dividends were actually really solid

5 out of 8 of their staff and players in 2020 have moved onto teams that have improved so much

• GLA Shu, Brenda, Tydolla
• HOU Happy (junk buck should be taking credit for better coaching)
• SFS Nero
• Chara as asst. Coach of T1, who are looking much improved and scrimmed with Glads

[willow tartan]

look at this gem of a post

[tawdry hamlet]

was charge founding principles to not only sign apac talent?

[sullen berry]

Internal visa delays and having to get renewed constantly was too much. Lots of moving parts last year made it tough to sub out players

[willow tartan]

where would this team rank this season

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/745768601671303231/880301556304576562/Team_Universe_Starting_Lineup.jpg

[tawdry hamlet]

assuming ans can pull off sombra it would probably be best in the world

[willow tartan]

wrong. they still lose to the seoul dynasty in the main tank hog meta

[tawdry hamlet]

true

oh and lose genji meta to dallas

[next mesa]

Ans is lip with worse sombra and better widow

alarm = izayaki

so yeah top team

top 1

[willow tartan]

if we're going to take this all stars team seriously then technically the dps rotation would be fleta ans profit

[next mesa]

oh fuck

gg

its over

[tawdry hamlet]

this season I would say lip >ans = fits > carpe

[willow tartan]

LIP has gone super saiyan this season

[next mesa]

I would say lip > fits > ans >=carpe

[tawdry hamlet]

fair

[next mesa]

fair too

[willow tartan]

honestly yeah

[next mesa]

I respect ur opinion

[tawdry hamlet]

carpe hasn't had any exceptionally bad performances or anything just upper mid af with occasional pop offs

[willow tartan]

he's always been that sort of player

[next mesa]

carpe's been solid honestly

just the team diff wack

[willow tartan]

does consistently good but sometimes has pop off moments that makes him look like the best player in the world

[tawdry hamlet]

idk what the problem with that team is, the only thing I can think of is eqo inconsistent and mano maybe

otherwise I really don't know

[willow tartan]

Ninek

[tawdry hamlet]

eqo has had some great pop off moments

this year

[willow tartan]

okay but like

none of fusion are particularly playing like really bad

individually as players

they just suck when they're together

[tawdry hamlet]

hotba has looked good surprisingly lmao

[willow tartan]

hotba and alarm have been the best on the team lowkey

(consistency)

[willow tartan]

Dude why the fuck is T500 support so stacked compared to other roles.

ok just checked european dps

that's kind of getting out of hand

[next mesa]

Lol

[willow tartan]

they are the only people who have 4.7 accs

and they have 10 of them

how the fuck does ysnza have 700 games played this season

The bench is doing him well.

[next mesa]

Seoul about to get vindaim off season it's gonna be over

[hasty gull]

true

[hasty gull]

[balmy wolf]

[balmy wolf]

shit org

annoying fans

the whole package

[hasty gull]

annoying fans hmmm?

[balmy wolf]

nobody cares about that team literally

[hasty gull]

true

I mean who do you support

[balmy wolf]

like spark in apac

[balmy wolf]

if i open my mouth about that im getting flamed

[hasty gull]

oh yeah spark are either good or absolutely awful

[hasty gull]

aight

I support philly if u couldnt tell

[balmy wolf]

seems painful but what do i know

[hasty gull]

and watching them is usually pain for me

[balmy wolf]

f

[hasty gull]

especially the seoul and chengdu reverse sweeps

which we should have easily won both of those games

[balmy wolf]

yes

philly choke power

[hasty gull]

yep

thing is we have a great roster with a lot of talent but as soon as something goes wrong we flop

[plush grail]

[tawdry hamlet]

Yes

His team is top 4 in the league and he can't even play playoffs with pelican on normal ping whil apac teams get to play from their practice facilities kek. That's his point. He isn't arguing covid isn't bad or anything he's just mad his team is getting cucked over and over

[devout path]

Yeah

He worded it really poorly though

[tawdry hamlet]

Yeah lmao fr

He could've elaborated and spared himself the controversy

[devout path]

I wanna see pelican not on ping sad

[tawdry hamlet]

Still this sets up Shanghai so well, if they don't manage a win this finals I'll be surprised

[devout path]

True

[tawdry hamlet]

This is Shanghais to lose at this point, hog meta is their only weakness

And at this point I'm sure void hog is good enough

[devout path]

Only problem I could see is the relaxing for CC puts them behind on the meta

[tawdry hamlet]

Maybe but even if the meta shifted back towards monkey Shanghai is never not gonna force ball this year lmao

[devout path]

If meta shifts towards monkey I’d be convinced blizzard is forcing Dallas to win

[tawdry hamlet]

Eh, in countdown cup glads played monkey ana comp the majority of time

So it kind of has already

[devout path]

I only remember that on like Anubis

[hasty gull]

lol

Like im not saying I’d do better

But philly are so momentum based

And we keel over as soon as something goes wrong

we should have won

[hot onyx]

Not really, in 2nd match vs Seoul they played insanely poorly except for the map they won which was Blizzard World?

[hasty gull]

Yeah they played like shit

[hot onyx]

And even if they won they would’ve been slaughtered in 4th place

God I miss KDG

[hasty gull]

mhmm

didnt he go to toronto

[hot onyx]

Yep

[hasty gull]

We had a weird season tho

we had eqo, shockwave and astro with visa issues for most of the season and still dont have poko

[hot onyx]

Next season better, trust

“The Philadelphia Fusion announce the release of head coach NineK”

[hasty gull]

If we stayed in NA im not convinced we'd be doing as well as last year

[hot onyx]

“The Philadelphia Fusion announce the signing of head coach IMT”

[hasty gull]

if only we still had kdg

[hot onyx]

And Heesu

[wild cape]

this is a cold take

but philly is the most mid team in the league

[hot onyx]

“Yeah guys I don’t think that releasing our only good sombra player is going to shaft us whatsoever look at the funny Titans chap, he’s definitely going to play for more than one map this season”

[hot onyx]

Actual iceberg take

[wild cape]

thought so

HZS on their way to knock out philly

[hot onyx]

Now now we said mid, not bottom

[wild cape]

eh, they’re bottom without carpe

[hot onyx]

Fusion are going to beat Spark convincingly and then lose to Seoul in another 5 mapper to make it hurt that much more

Now that is a hot take

[wild cape]

hangzhou hopium 😔

[hot onyx]

Admittedly I had more hope for the Spark before the season started but after continuing to bench LiGe and M1ka through nearly the entire season and all the coaching switcheroos I just lost all faith in them

Not to mention MCD

[wild cape]

they’re the only other team I’m still rooting for besides the outlaws

[wild cape]

MCD 🗿

he was getting benched anyways so it’s all good

[hot onyx]

Fair

Just be like a Shock fan and start rooting for the team that is winning

[hasty gull]

Spark literally went 0-4 last tournament

[hot onyx]

They also went 4-0 in JJ

[hasty gull]

I think they benched him because of his behaviour in game

[lyric adder]

what

[hasty gull]

yeah but that was under a different coach

not the same guy they have now

[wild cape]

they’re inconsistent but it’s still “winnable” as the kids say

[wild cape]

pretty sure he just wasn’t that good anyways

[hasty gull]

He seemed pretty good

like yeah he's replaceable

but he did do pretty good

[hot onyx]

He’s not on the level of Fielder Izayaki or Alarm

[hasty gull]

no he isnt

thats way to much of a stretch

[wild cape]

why do I keep supporting the inconsistent teams

outlaws, mayhem, and spark fan 😔

[hot onyx]

But he was a serviceable fs who did his job

[hasty gull]

yeah

mayhem flopped after mm

[mortal abyss]

I think spark have a decent chance of beating fusion

[wild cape]

based

[hasty gull]

meh

[wild cape]

hangzhou hopium

[mortal abyss]

I think apac play ins will be
Fusion roll spark and then get fucked by dynasty
OR
Spark suddenly pop off

[hot onyx]

I think Seoul has no chance of losing play ins

[mortal abyss]

I don’t want to have expectations for fusion

[hasty gull]

yeah seoul are gonna destory either team

[hot onyx]

Lift your expectations for next year

[tawdry hamlet]

Seominsoo Sombra shy tracer guxue monkey lige dva/zarya Mika Coldest support line ez claps

[hot onyx]

If the Florida Mayhem implode

That would mean Fusion could get a free pass at Yaki

[mortal abyss]

Seoul have a massive advantage over fusion/spark it’s crazy

Upsetting but understandable.

If you're unvaccinated due to choice, then you are the cause of this, with America's supply of vaccine we should have eradicated this virus months ago in the US.

Pfizer got FDA approval, you have no more excuses. https://t.co/EZkrYoghDe https://t.co/oR5on7zViY

No

Profit > sbb tracer

Fits > sbb Sombra mcree Ashe

[mortal abyss]

Sbb would do nothing

[hot onyx]

Double hitscan

[hasty gull]

yeah I agree

Profit and Fits are a better dps duo

[tawdry hamlet]

Like I love sbb but he just isn't better than profits

[mortal abyss]

Profits hitscan is probably (definetly)better then his

And sbb would have little to no synergy with everyone else

[hot onyx]

Eh I don’t go outside anyway I’d rather not upgrade to Windows 10 unnecessarily

[mortal abyss]

Lol

[hasty gull]

I got Pfizer back in March, it's fda approved now if you don't trust the CDC WHO FDA and literally every vaccinated person who hasn't had negative effects you're a maniac ☹️

[plush grail]

with some players being anti vaccine

live events are legit never gonna happen in the next few years man

[tawdry hamlet]

[hot onyx]

I just didn’t trust one of the vaccines that gave blood clots but other than that one I had no issue with the rest

[tawdry hamlet]

If Paris make finals they literally can't go lmaoo

[hasty gull]

y not lol

[plush grail]

my man they've been around for almost 1,5 years now

[plush grail]

i'm pretty sure they can

[hot onyx]

Literally an impossible scenario so no point talking about it

[hasty gull]

I know they based in eu

[tawdry hamlet]

Kek

[plush grail]

over here in the netherlands the covid stuff is nearing the end

[tawdry hamlet]

They'd probably play on ping to Asia right? Since they can't get visas to Hawaii I'd assume?

[hot onyx]

I wanna go to New Zealand where the pm doesn’t pussyfoot their way around lockdowns

[plush grail]

[tawdry hamlet]

Literally Taiwan, new Zealand, literally any country where they aren't too pussy to lock up anti vax shitters

I'd love to go

[plush grail]

it's extreme but works

[hasty gull]

[plush grail]

as long was we have dumb antivaxxer in owl like space

we're not getting big live events

[tawdry hamlet]

[hasty gull]

what space is antivax?

[tawdry hamlet]

I'd hope space is like cool now he's so likable

[hot onyx]

It pays off

[hasty gull]

it does

[plush grail]

god bless new zealand

[mortal abyss]

Isn’t the New Zealand pm like really cool

[hasty gull]

@hot onyx if we had chipsa the goat of ow we would have gone 16-0 won every tournament and won the league

[hasty gull]

bruh looking back on my preseason power rankings I realise how bad they were

and how they aged like milk

u guys wanna see them?

[hot onyx]

Always

Cannot be worse than mine

[hasty gull]

aight

[hot onyx]

Lemme guess

[hasty gull]

i'll have to just tell u them

[hot onyx]

You’re not regular?

Send them in a dm to me and I’ll post em

Cheat the system

[hasty gull]

aight

they are pretty awful

[hot onyx]

They are

But mine are worse

[hasty gull]

Florida 5th London 7th Chengdu 13th Houston 17th Boston 18th

[hot onyx]

Trust me, mine are worse

[hasty gull]

Dude

SPARK 8TH

[hot onyx]

I had faith in them being consistent and solid

But that was the scenario that they constantly ran their chinese squad

[hasty gull]

mhmm

[hot onyx]

Charge above Fuel and Hunters sticks out like a sore thumb

[hasty gull]

atlanta 15th kek

[hasty gull]

it does

[hot onyx]

I felt that Atlanta was just repeating itself last year

Great dps but mid-bottom tier tank and support line

[hasty gull]

mhmm

yep

[hot onyx]

I had Gator and Hawk as a bottom 5 tank line before the season started

[mortal abyss]

Same

[hot onyx]

Rated Hadi and Molf1g higher tbh

And boy that bit me in the ass

I’m proud of the NYXL and Dragons placing

[hasty gull]

i put dallas 10th

lol

aged well

not like they are one of the best teams

[hot onyx]

Originally I had Boston > NYXL, London > Atlanta and Defiant > Justice

You should’ve seen my rankings before Justice signed Assassin

[hasty gull]

I mean I got valiant and titans correct and I was pretty close with charge

[hasty gull]

let me guess they were awful

[hot onyx]

I think I can find them

[hasty gull]

mostly the same

[hot onyx]

A and B have changed

Dallas and Justice down a spot

Defiant 6th

[hasty gull]

Defiant 6th lmao

[devout path]

LOL THIS TIERLIST

[fallen turret]

Atlanta 14th lol

[hot onyx]

15th*

[hasty gull]

look at these they are pretty shocking

[devout path]

That’s not that bad

[hasty gull]

Ehh

its alright

quite a few awful ones tho

[devout path]

This was mine

[hot onyx]

Some weird choices, some logical choices that just turned out incorrect

[hasty gull]

Boston 4th!!!

[devout path]

I’m a Boston fan

[hot onyx]

Is this in a particular order or is it just a tier list?

[devout path]

No order

[hot onyx]

Weakling

[hasty gull]

well boston A tier aged like milk

[devout path]

Ok philly fan

[devout path]

I had high hopes for valentine and myunbong and faith and stand1

[hot onyx]

Was that tier list pre Assassin signing or post Assassin signing?

HIGH HOPES FOR STAND1

[hasty gull]

understandable

valentine is pretty good

[devout path]

My tier list was pre xzi retirement post philly rascal and hotba picks

And tobi

[hot onyx]

Honestly fair

[hasty gull]

Yeah fair

[devout path]

Valentine is kinda insane

[hot onyx]

Holy shit what was your problem with Spark?

[devout path]

They just didn’t have anything whatsoever in the first half of the season

And the weak areas of the team were really weak

[hasty gull]

tbh spark are pretty meh

[devout path]

Uhhh I didn’t know any of the players?

[hasty gull]

I put them mid table

[devout path]

I knew guxue

Architect

[hasty gull]

Everyone put houston mid to bottom 5

[hot onyx]

LiGe

[hasty gull]

including me

[devout path]

Plus I mean

[hot onyx]

Yeah Outlaws bottom 5 was a rational choice

[hasty gull]

everyone doubted them

[devout path]

I don’t think so

[hot onyx]

Come on

[devout path]

Wait

Bottom 5 NA or bottom 5 overall

[hasty gull]

I put outlaws 17th because of the tanks and support

[hasty gull]

overall

[hot onyx]

A relatively unknown tank duo from contenders, some rando from collegiate, Crimzo and a tracer otp

[devout path]

Tracer otp?

[hasty gull]

I only had hope in the dps

[devout path]

That’s a funny take

[hot onyx]

How would I have known that Danteh would’ve been a flex god on echo?

[devout path]

Because last season?

[hasty gull]

Can we just talk about me putting florida top 5

[hot onyx]

I didn’t like what I saw of his genji sombra and mei

And didn’t see much of his echo

So I figured if Outlaws were in a position where they had to field KSF or Hydration they would roll over and die

[devout path]

Well ok let’s think of it this way

There were basically 4 teams everyone had bottom 4

Being London paris valiant and titans

[hasty gull]

I put London 7th....

[devout path]

Ur just dumb idk what to tell you

[hasty gull]

I had hope in them ok

[devout path]

And I would argue that spark looked worse coming into the season than Houston

Because Houston at least had a very promising dps line and had good tank synergy

While spark had like

Lige and architect

[hasty gull]

My bottom 5 were Valiant Titans Uprising Outlaws and Charge

[hasty gull]

I was doubting jjangu and piggy but I knew that they would be at least servicable

I didnt have a lot of faith in Joobi or Crimzo tho

[devout path]

I didn’t either

I thought crimzo would be ok I didn’t know much ab joobi tho

And the jake situation was weird

[hasty gull]

Yeah they got joobi out of collegiate as far as I know

[devout path]

Yeah

[hasty gull]

yeah

[devout path]

I was really high on nyxl

Coming into this season

I thought their dps line was really good coming into the season

[hasty gull]

I put them mid table but thought that they could possibly be strong

[devout path]

And I wasn’t exactly wrong

[hasty gull]

u werent tbh

[devout path]

Also jjonak is still good and I thought that yakpung would be at least ok

[vagrant cargo]

Spark roster Was crazy overrated on paper

[devout path]

True

[hasty gull]

yeah

[vagrant cargo]

No good coaching, architecht was on a decline Same for guxue and i thought mcd wouldnt be good

Like not good at all

[hasty gull]

when kalios came in I felt nyxl were a lot better

[vagrant cargo]

And also shy kinda looked like shit pre season

And my bold pred was He would flop due to shitty coaching

Turned out wrong but could have been possible

[hot onyx]

This is gonna sound dumb

But I knew Guxue was a monke otp

I had faith in Takoyaki

[vagrant cargo]

Thats just

Not true

Did u not watch any S2 or S3 spark games

[hot onyx]

He had a good ball

[vagrant cargo]

And i expected tako to be permabenched He was always mid

Guxues second best hwro is easily rein

His rein was bananas in S2 and good in S3

[hot onyx]

I didn’t rate it that high but we all have opinions

In season 3

[vagrant cargo]

His ball was kinda shit but he improved a lot this season

I mean statwise his rein was rlly good qhile being on a team with one of the worst backlines majority of the yesr

Year*

[hot onyx]

Idk and Bebe

That is an illegally crap backline

Which barely improved with the shithouse that is MCD

[wind imp]

Contenders is actually kinda nutty

https://youtube.com/clip/Ugy6w39bSgvuh7QjWFd4AaABCQ

Just to make it clear, it's not that we are being cheap and not trying to get visa. Our org has been trying to get visa for our players for months now. But due to the delta variant, most european embassies don't offer P1 visa interviews for our players in time for playoffs.

Anyways I believe most of you have the brains to piece it together, Zep did nothing wrong

Even Chengdu's GM had something to say about the travel options for their players:

I swear if I get banned for this wall of text I'll actually leave the server

[willow tartan]

It's not a conspiracy theory. People just can't get visas is all.

A few things about the LAN matches and our trip to US:
Actually about the LAN games, the team has maintained positive and active close communication with the league. The entire planning and logistics process was way longer than what people might think.

Luke(GM of CDH) on OWL update

1. Visa isn't big problem
2. Biggest problem is there's no flight for CDH members
3. Also there's safety issue since Jimmy can't be vaccinated (ankylsoing spondylitis)
4. I believe OWL made the decision after consulting all teams for advice

Twitter · Aug 26, 2021, 7:41 AM

"Our prep work (special visa, pre-visa plea docs, local connection in NA, budget application, real time updates etc) already started during summer showdown, and we recently booked face-to-face interviews with US embassy, and planned to go for the interviews together on Sep 2nd in shanghai. Visas weren't the main issue for the team."

The fact this is so in-depth is what impresses me

[willow tartan]

"Our" as in the hunters?

[sullen berry]

It's the Hunters GM Luke

[willow tartan]

Right, right.

I assume that other teams had some issues though.

Wait what did you mean by "so in-depth"?

[sullen berry]

Chengdu is lesser known for international tourism of the four CN teams - Hangzhou grew fast in the past decade, while Guangzhou and Shanghai especially are already established spaces

[willow tartan]

Chengdu has less tourism yeah.

[tawdry hamlet]

Jimmy

[sullen berry]

"We have consulted multiple travel suppliers from the parent company and were told its impossible for all 16 to go to the US together; meanwhile some player's parents also expressed their concerns, especially Jimmy who cannot be vaccinated due to ankylosing spondylitis. "

[willow tartan]

Jimmy

[sullen berry]

That part right there, seems a little private unless that was something Jimmy was fine sharing in public

[willow tartan]

Why do so many esports players get nasty health problems

mfers have access to like personal life coaches n shit

[tawdry hamlet]

Arthritis is no fun, that is unfortunate for Jimmy

[willow tartan]

Jimmy needs to reserve his strength for the playoffs.

[sullen berry]

Ankylosing spondylitis

[willow tartan]

Glad he's been taking it easy.

You can't be vaccinated if you have arthritis?

That Id love to learn more about

https://www.everydayhealth.com/ankylosing-spondylitis/things-people-with-ankylosing-spondylitis-should-know-about-the-covid-19-vaccines/

[willow tartan]

I think it's not so much the health problem itself but the medication that they take might not play nice with the covid vaccine.

[sullen berry]

Luke (Hunters GM) has planned for the worse as well. Say if a player were to contract COVID it'll have irreversable long term damage to players' mental, physical wellbeing and their career.
He also mentions that it's not ideal that they have to play online, but he believes it's a decision made with respect to feedback internally and with safety as their number one concern.

[willow tartan]

good guy luke

[tawdry hamlet]

Shame the na teams didn't get to choose whether they'd risk contracting covid through travel or just play from home

Pandemic times

[willow tartan]

What, give the players the choice to give themselves covid?

I guess that is what the government is doing with the rest of the population.

[tawdry hamlet]

[willow tartan]

Besides, aren't they flying to Manoa for ping anyways?

Close enough.

Like what, 90 ping?

[sullen berry]

University better get set to put on a show

That

Or accommodate three times as many teams onsite

[willow tartan]

you are red?

you are red!

[sullen berry]

Quinquennial red, mind you

[willow tartan]

Red is red.

[sullen berry]

It looks better after getting muted multiple times LOL

[tawdry hamlet]

I meant it is a shame the na teams who have members that can't travel due to illnesses just have to play anyway regardless while teams like Chengdu just get to play from practice facility with their full team 😔. Not bashing the system, just like, sucks ass pandemic made it like this.

[willow tartan]

which NA teams have no-fly players?

[tawdry hamlet]

Remember when they said covid would be over by the end of 2020 omegalul

[willow tartan]

Remember a time before covid? Me neither.

[sullen berry]

No fly players, how about we go back to teams for a second

[willow tartan]

Yeah what happens if Paris makes the playoffs?

They will fly the Paris team to compete from French Polynesia.

[tawdry hamlet]

I remember in 2020 well in a few months I'll be able to get out more it is all good. And now a full year later here we are and nothing's changed lmaoo

[sullen berry]

Paris could still play remote, but gg their chances if APAC suddenly know how to play on 160+ ping

OWL probably won't accept a match being played over 120ms

[willow tartan]

How would Paris play remotely from Europe to China.

[willow tartan]

fielder moment

[tawdry hamlet]

Paris need to make it through now just for lols lmaoo

[sullen berry]

Yes but if the whole team is fielder what do

[willow tartan]

if the whole team is fielder you win anyway

[willow tartan]

Yes. I want paris to make the playoffs for this to happen.

[tawdry hamlet]

Bro I got it, Paris gonna make the playoffs, not be able to go, give their spot to shock, and shock three peat with that spot

[balmy wolf]

atleast i have something to complain about poggers

[willow tartan]

Maybe they go on a cruise ship and sail to the coasts of China. Technically they don't need any travel visa because the ship would be from their country of origin.

Then they can use their own equipment as well.

[sullen berry]

@next mesa Paris can't mess this up a third time, I need an underdog for the playoffs now that Glads have secured a spot with Dallas and Ratlanta

[tawdry hamlet]

Lmaoo when we getting an international waters game of owl ez

[willow tartan]

legit i think that would be one of the few ways they could do it

[next mesa]

huh what

[willow tartan]

Unless they got a direct waiver from a government to allow them to fly

[sullen berry]

You've had four chances, but may melee didn't count

[tawdry hamlet]

Imagine though they are all playing on boats parked next to each other lmao

[willow tartan]

Yeah.

If covid continues on to next year

We will have floating barges for homestands and live events.

Ppl bring their own boats n shit

[sullen berry]

But now Eternal has a shit shot at playoffs contention vs Washington

I thought I deleted the shit

[willow tartan]

Like a drive-in theater but instead of cars its boats and instead of movies its a live OWL game
