#

The Paris Eternal literally cannot make it into the Playoffs even if they sweep the Shock in the Play-ins

last nimbus
#

What're your guys predictions for grand final winners?

tropic herald
#

If I had to pick rn

#

Shanghai

willow tartan
#

We don't know what the meta will be and play-ins will give us some insight.

last nimbus
#

Im thinking itll be rein lucio again

willow tartan
#

But going off of what we saw last stage and the stage before, a safe bet is either the Dragons or the Fuel, though I wouldn't be surprised if teams like Shock, Glads or Fusion make finals.

#

The team that is most unlikely to make far imo is the outlaws.

last nimbus
#

How much teams can get into playoffs via playins

#

1 right

willow tartan
#

3

tropic herald
#

1 from APAC 2 from NA

willow tartan
#

2 from NA and 1 from APAC

last nimbus
#

Oh whaaat

willow tartan
#

It's an 8 team playoffs.

last nimbus
#

Shiit i didnt follow lasts year owl

tropic herald
#

Spark Fusion Seoul are in play ins for apac

#

Unless shy turns up then Seoul probably makes it

last nimbus
#

Why can't paris eternal make it in playoffs

#

Is that the map diff

willow tartan
#

They are stuck in EU and can't fly to the playoffs location.

tropic herald
#

They are in a weird situation

last nimbus
#

Oh

#

Huh

tropic herald
#

If Paris qualifies for playoffs, none of their current players can leave EU Bc of covid restrictions

last nimbus
#

So they were playing on 100+ping the entire season too?

willow tartan
#

No no, the playoffs are going to be in Hawaii.

#

They could play across the atlantic but they can't connect from EU to Japan.

#

I think the ping is like 90 between east coast and eu

last nimbus
#

Still sucks though

#

They havent been performing as well as id hoped either

#

Its a good team nonetheless

willow tartan
#

They are very mid imo

#

Good pieces to keep for next season though

last nimbus
#

Like?

#

I honestly think there will be so much new contenders players new owl season ngl

willow tartan
#

I think if any player they keep it is Kaan.

#

Unless they rebuild to Korean again.

last nimbus
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tropic herald
#

Paris needs to at least keep their backline and Naga

last nimbus
#

Yeah nagas been a really great Dps

tropic herald
#

They should also go for a third dps to fill in the weird heroes like Sombra which for some reason none of them are good at

last nimbus
#

Mm

#

Thought Daan's ball was pretty alright too but idk about overwatch level

#

owl level*

earnest leaf
#

Keep the current roster, but get an upgrade over daan. And add another strong hitscan player to compliment onigod

willow tartan
#

That's WJ

last nimbus
#

They do have a 3rd hitscan player dont they?

#

Tsuna or something

willow tartan
#

Tsuna is tracer and only tracer.

last nimbus
#

Havent seen him all season ngl

#

Or im just blind

#

There are just certain players that i just know are going to get dropped because their teammates/subs are just much better

#

Havent seen ta1yo for an entire season either, probably cause nero is just much better

#

Has edison played this season?

#

Yeah right

#

Think ive seen him around a few times

tropic herald
#

He was most prominent for the Mei symm meta

last nimbus
#

what about logix?

#

wasnt he still playing for toronto

barren quest
#

He played a few times early this season but Aspire has been playing over him later on

#

On August 7, the reputed Overwatch insider Metro spoke publicly about these rumors, stating that “from what I can gather a release in 2022 does not seem likely anymore.”

#

An internal Activision Blizzard source told Dexerto this was incorrect and added that getting the game out as soon as possible was now a high priority.

#

“We’re more than aware we need to get it out,” they said.“So the word is the dev team has been told to lock in the features the game has, get it fixed and get it shipped. We’re looking to get it out before the Summer of 2022.”

willow tartan
#

before summer = july release

willow tartan
#

why is it not good?

#

we have a release date!!!

devout path
#

That means buggy game

willow tartan
#

Buggy game means broken characters to abuse and for me to get boosted to top500 during ow2 first season

devout path
#

I’d rather they waste another 2 years working on it then release a half finished game

willow tartan
#

at least a beta

#

doesnt have to be a full release idc i just wanna game

earnest leaf
#

At this point i'm desperate for new content

#

The game has barely changed for over a year now

willow tartan
#

I know it wont happen bc people are very persuaded by first impressions but personally idgaf if a game is buggy when released as long as they continue updating as normal

#

because its essentially getting the same product

devout path
#

I am too but I’d rather wait than get a horrible game

willow tartan
#

you still get the same released product 2 years later when it should have released

#

but you also get to fuck around in buggy betas while waiting for that

raw ermine
#

I doubt it will be buggy at this rate

earnest leaf
#

Pve might be buggy

last nimbus
#

Everyone wants content, i think most people rather have a game that include bugs than wait for it another whole extra year

earnest leaf
#

But pvp is probabaly fine

willow tartan
#

PvP might be unbalanced

#

but not buggy

earnest leaf
#

Yea

devout path
#

I don’t think they have voice lines for the story mode yet

last nimbus
#

They said their main priority was balancing heroes, ofcourse, everything is going to be shaky in the beginning, they will learn fast whats broken and what needs to be buffed

willow tartan
#

in reality the pvp and pve teams are probably separate lol

last nimbus
#

Im interested in ow2

willow tartan
#

since pve elements have little to do with pvp at all

#

except i imagine talents and shit can be turned on in workshop which would be fun

last nimbus
#

It requires some skill

#

not much

last nimbus
#

Lets just say every game playthrough is easier to play if you learn fast and are good in mechanic-learning

#

Hey, maybe we'll get a practice range expanse, lol

#

if mei still has wall she might be the only thing that makes brawl worth running

willow tartan
#

dont tell me mei sym brawl still exists in ow2

north relic
#

give rein's charge no cooldown

stuck radish
#

brawl is gonna be outclassed so hard by dive and poke

#

lmao

willow tartan
#

does this mean contenders NA and EU stop playing rein

digital cloud
#

give rein a tracking fireball that pierces and oneshots

stuck radish
willow tartan
#

freeing NA from rein

stuck radish
#

ik its crazy to think about

#

but it might

digital cloud
#

na might actually learn how to play dive

#

the idea boggles the mind

stuck radish
#

they prob will just stick with poke though

willow tartan
#

do you guys see any retired OW pros coming back to ow2 to crack it out on new heroes and not needing to catch the curve on learning?

digital cloud
#

no, I see no old pros returning

#

all I see is owl dying slowly over agonizing periods of time

#

until finally it devolves to tf2 levels of misery and we all go somewhere else

willow tartan
#

ow3

stuck radish
#

ow3 will be 4v4

#

all tanks reworked into dps

willow tartan
#

thank god

digital cloud
#

then the game evolves into its final form, one v one, where both sides control multiple units attacking to accomplish a singular objective

#

Blizzard has done it, they invented Starcraft II

thats amazing

The source also confirmed that even prior to the lawsuit many owners had been weighing up the potential of selling their franchise slots. With Activision having approval over slot sales and prospective buyers, many who no longer believe in the viability of the Overwatch League are lingering not through choice

#

“We’re more than aware we need to get it out,” they said.“So the word is the dev team has been told to lock in the features the game has, get it fixed and get it shipped. We’re looking to get it out before the Summer of 2022.”

#

this feels like half assed ow 2

next mesa
#

wow

#

before summer 2022

#

gg

worn falcon
#

What looks most likely at the moment is that we run a few Overwatch League branded events as the run-in to a delayed regular season while Overwatch 2 is tweaked. The hope is that we get Overwatch 2 to at least a playable beta in time for those events but if not we will run these competitions on the existing game. So, while there will still be competitive Overwatch being played and franchise teams will be competing in those competitions, the actual league component is more than likely to be delayed.”

#

hopefully before 2022 summer so i can play during summer break

stuck radish

may 24th would be the best date for it to release

Well other than SpeedyRogue

tawdry hamlet
#

Here's a silver gameplay demo

#

Like bro silver plays like a call of duty deathmatch, you just fps until you win you don't coordinate and nothing really matters, idk why they chose silvers, it wouldn't have been insanely hard to organize like a streamer game I think 🤔

#

Idk oh well

earnest leaf
#

5v5 bad

#

Just a kneejerk attempt at fixing issues with going after the root causes

gusty rampart
#

No doubt about it

#

RIP half of fucking Overwatch League

earnest leaf
#

Instead of asking why people don't play tank, they just decided to make it a fat dps

#

When there are other reasons

tawdry hamlet
#

Appease the casuals 😡

#

We must !

gusty rampart
#

Maybe make tanks fun?

tawdry hamlet
#

Make game more like apex equal more viewer!

earnest leaf
#

My honest suggestion is to mass nerf all sources of damage boost, and reduce all forms of CC

worthy void
#

why tf is it 5v5

#

im an off tank player Cryge

earnest leaf
#

When I mean all forms of cc, I mean literally all

worthy void
#

and owl

earnest leaf
#

even knockback from zarya's right click type cc

gusty rampart
#

Off Tanks get fucked lol

tawdry hamlet
#

Eh some tanks are fun even is the thing I don't know what to do, I love ball and dva and zarya they feel so powerful 🙏

worthy void
earnest leaf
#

The more I've thought about it some OT players should be fine, but it heavily depends on how the meta shapes up

#

We could very easily get perma winston/ball metas, making OT players useless, or we could get some weird metas where sig is the tank, and your OT player needs to step in

#

But I don't see a reality in which zarya/hog/dva are ever chosen over any other tank

worthy void
#

srsly dont get why theyre switching to 5v5

earnest leaf
#

To appease dps players

tawdry hamlet
#

I could see a fast dive meta thing with dva Lucio type thing maybe idk lmao

#

Tanks are way too powerful, so rather than solve issue, remove tank and make more like fps so more casuals play ez

earnest leaf
#

I could see zarya maybe if doom was hard buffed

#

and he plays like the MT instead

#

Also on the note of tanks being too strong

#

Ngl, recently, supports have been stronger than them

worthy void
#

lol 6 man anti nade

tawdry hamlet
#

Off tank and flex support are easily the most powerful roles in the game

earnest leaf
#

I feel as if most tanks have been toned down to a stage in which none are really overwhelming at something, but supports like ana/bapt/brig still reign supreme pretty often

tawdry hamlet
worthy void
#

whats the difference between flex sp and main sp

tawdry hamlet
#

Lucio mercy sometimes brig vs ana bap zen moira

worthy void
#

o

tawdry hamlet
#

One focuses on like offensive support the other is like a passive like support I guess idk how to explain

#

Like Lucio and mercy set up plays and don't make them as often as say ana but they still have potential to do it

worthy void
#

ohh alr

#

makes sense

Thank you posts starting already 😭

glads vs shock again

fuel vs atlanta

or fusion

#

chengdu takes the other

Ayo where seoul at

willow tartan

In the Eastern Division play-ins

next mesa

Remaining seed

#

Hm

#

I think seoul vs glads

#

Or shock

#

Wait probably shock

#

Honestly dragons could choose seoul lmao

tacit skiff
#

Boston sweeps the playins

#

just you wait

willow tartan
#

Then fuel will probably take Atlanta since they can consistently beat them?

#

Esp with no pelican

#

Then cdh takes the remaining apac team whilst glads fight shock

north relic
#

Fuel probably takes the apac play ins winner

#

Chengdu takes reign/shock

earnest leaf
#

maybe a hot take

#

but I think chengdu would want to pick reign

#

actually that's an ice cold take

#

Reign haven't looked super great lately without pelican starting on good ping, and I have no idea if pelican can get to hawaii for playoffs

#

But it will depend on the meta

#

If it's a rush/orisa meta it doesn't matter who you pick both will be tough, ball or dive meta, reign would be the easier team

north relic
#

Depends if you rate shock or reign higher

earnest leaf
#

It's hard since we don't know what the meta will 100% be

#

But my bets are on rush/orisa comps

north relic
#

Probably tracer sombra

#

when tilted about the cancellation of live event

#

@Jezi_Belle @overwatchleague then why do me and my teammates have to make another 15 hour trip to Hawaii in the middle of a pandemic while the other region does not. Just get 1 winner from each region to play for grand finals then so every one is safe. Also, pelican cant go :)

That’s a big problem

Reign stonks go down

With this in mind dallas probably pick reign

You are out of your mind

I'll be surprised if they beat Toronto

Nope

#

There's no way

They bring out fusions

Fusions, Chex and Gaebullssi

willow tartan
#

then between apac winner and shock i think cdh takes apac winner

north relic
#

Yea

#

So are we saying shock is the best out of the teams picked

#

Glads v shock but super will be throwing staring at Havana 3rd point window

Is outlaws even gonna make it lmaooo

willow tartan
#

who else?

#

you have more faith in justice than outlaws?

next mesa
#

I think the odds are greater than either Paris, justice, Boston (one of those) are gonna find some wack shit/strat and beat outlaws

#

Who's peak is lower

north relic
#

Justice can probably peak high

#

But that won’t happen because justice

willow tartan
#

out of all the playoffs teams houston has the lowest peak

raw ermine
#

imagine this in OWL

willow tartan
#

kuki coach, they do as bad as wj

north relic
#

How good was qoq last year

#

I can see that beating Houston but nothing higher

tepid ibex
#

QoQ was pretty decent

north relic
#

That dps line though

#

Assassin won’t be used much other than maybe doomfist though

tropic herald

Yaki Heesu

They probably are the best tracer sombra at their peak

Any idea if gnj zen is any good

tepid ibex

Yes

wild cape
#

defiant is the only one I’d worry about as a Houston fan

#

look at me making a pretty reasonable prediction and then the outlaws end up being trashed on

next mesa

Nah either one of those that hit their peak again easily trashes outlaws

Boston Downrising nomegalul

tawdry hamlet
#

Boston could very easily beat a team like justice or Toronto if they choke. I mean they took down games they shouldn't have won several times this year. But my money is on Toronto

Striker ans isn't better than yaki Heesu on tracer Sombra imo

#

But fleta and lip are better hehe

willow tartan
#

devout path
#

Fleta lip and profits

willow tartan
#

flip sombra tracer > profits sombra tracer

mortal abyss
#

Tbh lip if lip could play tracer and sombra at the same time the that’d be Monka

willow tartan
#

2 LIPs would be better than profits

mortal abyss
#

Probably

tawdry hamlet
#

Flip is already better than profits

willow tartan
#

of course

#

theyre the best dps duo sunglassesvery3dcool

tawdry hamlet
#

There more several dps duos better than profits nowadays

willow tartan
#

true...

#

but profits consistent

tawdry hamlet
#

Consistently doing everything they can and then losing to coach diff

#

Hey profit you're absolutely rolling? Got it go mei

willow tartan
#

profits would be an upgrade for any non top 4 team

#

acc lemme check rn the standings

tawdry hamlet
#

Pelicai, Kevring, Flip, Linmu, I'd all take over profits ngl

willow tartan
#

personally id not take kevring but leavemu and pelikai are around equal

#

profits on glads would be an upgrade imo

tawdry hamlet
#

Fits > birdring but in current time Kevster is more well rounded than profit imo

#

It'd probably be about the same besides Sombra and tracer tbh

#

My favorite dps line atm the moment is still probably Boston simply for how dog shit the absurdity is of ever playing im37 in 2021

devout path
tawdry hamlet
#

He's still beaten by nearly every other flex in na besides London and Toronto lmao

devout path
#

At echo?

tawdry hamlet
#

Assassin Danteh Naga Yaki Sparkle Doha Kevster Nero > Valentine that literally leaves Naist Teru and Blase yep

devout path
#

I mean I’d disagree with sparkle and assassin but I don’t think we’ve had enough of an echo meta to come to a concrete answer

tawdry hamlet
#

You can't say sparkle is worse than valentine. He might not be a top tier echo but come on lmao

#

Assassin sure

#

But idk about sparkle lmao

devout path
#

I’m a sparkle echo hater

#

I don’t think he’s garbage just overrated cuz all of his other characters are so good

willow tartan
#

sparple echo kind of got battered

tawdry hamlet
#

I wonder if ksf will go to a team like Toronto, that'd be fun

#

I wonder when the remaining benchers like Chex Logix ksf mirror will be phased out of owl for better players

willow tartan
#

remember sp0rkle going up against leave fleta and pelican?

tawdry hamlet
#

How is his performance against leave fleta and pelican relevant when comparing him to valentine though

devout path
#

It’s not relevant

willow tartan
#

i disagree with treeko's 3head statement claiming that valentine echo is better than sparkl

devout path
#

We haven’t had an echo meta to make a solid decision

willow tartan

im agree with you

cause sp1rkle is

excuse me june joust

Boston picks up benbest

tawdry hamlet
#

Sleepy said if he got paid enough he'd totally be down to go back to owl lmaoo and what's funny is he'd unironically outperform Roolf crome

devout path
#

How would sleepy do on bap

tawdry hamlet
#

Boston signs Benbest then releases him instantly for visa issues

willow tartan
#

i was on his stream the other day and she said that he's shit

willow tartan

sleepy said that he (sleepy) was shit

Why did you say she then

willow tartan

#

Why did you say she

willow tartan

(s) sleepy

#

(he) he

tawdry hamlet
#

I didn't get it either ngl omegalul

#

We need Dhak back in owl ez

willow tartan
#

but that may have been an exaggerated statement because someone in the chat said that he (sleepy) was better than fucking Twilight and Alarm

devout path
#

I think sleepy and roolf would be comparable

#

Because well

tawdry hamlet
#

When people keep asking flats if he's better than super 💀

#

Literal 1heads

devout path
#

Sleepy first of all hasn’t played professionally in forever

#

And sleepy never played bap professionally

tawdry hamlet
#

Roolf would prob be better it's just funny to meme on Roolf

#

Hehe fire Roolf

devout path
#

I think sleepy zen and Ana would be fine but bap lol no

tawdry hamlet
#

I wonder any pieces of s3 justice would be doing better than s4 justice rn

devout path
#

Decay

#

Wait

#

Decays on s4 justice

tawdry hamlet
#

I am pretty sure bebe vs aimgod is the only comparison to be made and bebe probably easily better as meh as he is

devout path
#

Who else was on s3 justice

tawdry hamlet
#

I doubt jjanu roar or stitch ttuba or ark aimgod is better than anyone now

#

But it'd be fun

#

Corey Stratus ellivote and lullsish too

devout path
#

I was gonna say Corey has to be better than whoever is on justice rn but then I remembered comparing him to decay decay is def better

tawdry hamlet
#

You could make a case for Jerry if it's prime Corey and not current Corey

devout path
#

I forgot Jerry is a player

#

I think if Corey put time into ow again he’d be better than Jerry

I think kuki still has a year left in his contract

noble nexus
#

Kuki has been decent or he was last season idk not really payed much attention to mayhem this season

north relic
tawdry hamlet
#

Literally pre season said mayhem did nothing but down or side grade

#

And it turned out to be true

noble nexus
#

Basically yeah

#

Their core is great

#

This season they did great and then oge crumbled and it was like some domino shit so the rest of the team started to suck

north relic
#

Main support and main tank are probably the two least stacked roles though

noble nexus
#

Checkmate deadlifting the MT role

tawdry hamlet
#

To be entirely fair, they probably could have salvaged the season just running oge and trying to sort things out

#

Putting checkmate on the spot was brain dead decision

#

Be like if Toronto put Logix on main tank over sado

#

It's just so dumb

#

Or actually

#

Houston put hydration on main tank over jjangu

#

It's just so dumb

north relic
#

Probably something else happened since oge went back to Korea as well

noble nexus

Wasn’t that for family reasons tho?

#

Or am I dumb

tawdry hamlet

Think oge better than dreamer?

noble nexus
#

Ehhhhh probably

#

If his mental is intact

#

Yea

north relic
#

Dreamer was decent last year

#

Oge if he isn’t throwing probably is

noble nexus
#

Yeah I quite liked dreamer

tawdry hamlet
#

I mean their choices would have been stand1 sado dreamer oge so I can't complain about going oge too much but meh

noble nexus
#

Regardless this was probably oge’s last season

north relic
#

Sado was going with kdg

#

Yea

noble nexus
#

I doubt he stays on Florida or gets picked up by anyone else

tawdry hamlet

They could have gotten like roar kek

Roar is an animal

if hes on a hitscan hes a top 5 hitscan

I love plat chat

but I fucking hate how they mention viol2t on dps whenver he is talked about

he played dps for like two fucking games

#

and hasn't played it since the may melee

#

and for one of the games he did play dps he pounded

trail perch
#

they hype viol2t to much

#

they didnt clown on the man that tried to say that last year he had a legacy as the best FS of all time

#

like he had literally 1 season on top

north relic
trail perch
#

eh

#

not better than jjonak or twilight

#

and he fed a decent amount

#

he was prob the weak link on the shock in s2

Still top 3 is on top

trail perch

bit too aggresive

he was also on the BEST team

People want to win*

willow tartan

shock needs to win play ins to get into the playoffs

there are definitely games you need to win

tired sequoia

So people only care about the playoffs?

willow tartan

duh

tired sequoia
#

Why lol

willow tartan
#

wym why

tired sequoia
#

Every tournament is its own thing

willow tartan
#

the playoffs are the whole thing the season is building up to

#

the reason why the tournament stages matter is because it gives bonus points

balmy wolf
#

anyways the merch is very underwhelming

willow tartan
#

but since atlanta didnt need to win to get the bonus points to qualify

#

they didnt need to win it

balmy wolf
#

i buy a jersey tho

willow tartan
#

since they only needed 1 bonus point

#

ppl dont win tournaments for the money

they win for the points for the playoffs
