[tropic herald]

[noble nexus]

Valiant

[north relic]

idk if that counts though

[noble nexus]

[tacit skiff]

Valiant

[north relic]

shanghai doesnt really count imo since its full of korean players

[tacit skiff]

don't fix what's not broken

[plush grail]

london is made up of non eu players

[tropic herald]

Valiant and Shanghai are ran by Chinese orgs

[tacit skiff]

aren't all Chinese teams run by Chinese ors

orgs

[tropic herald]

Yes

[tacit skiff]

so

what's the point in singling out Shanghai and Valiant

[plush grail]

because they're dumb

[north relic]

because they the top 2 teams

[tropic herald]

Those are the two people questioned

[tacit skiff]

I don't think we were questioning their orgs tho

[plush grail]

isn't valiant owned by immortals

[tropic herald]

Owned but it sure as hell isn’t ran by immortals

[plush grail]

Silver3 was robbed of an MVP nomination

[north relic]

[hollow bough]

LOL

that's pretty funny

[plush grail]

but onigod is already in owl

[north relic]

isnt onigod just demongod

cancels eachother out

so onigod is just regular man

[plush grail]

shut up

[sullen berry]

Falcon esports without YZNSA to grab the 4-2

FeelsWeirdMan

Lullshish tank diff

[sage delta]

Regular man

[trail perch]

For the record I’m not betraying spark

It’s just that their out rn

And I need some sort of hopium train to hop on

Being a justice fan is basically like being a spark fan

So I chose them

[broken lark]

I just joined OW so idk what teams are best lol

[raw ermine]

the playoffs are on rn, so the best are the ones that made them

they're called

[north relic]

yea valiant is probably the favorite after winning stage 4

[raw ermine]

san francisco shock
los angeles gladiators
Shanghai dragons
philidelphia fusion
washington justice
dallas fuel
atlanta reign
chengdu hunters

[broken lark]

How many stages are there? Lol

[raw ermine]

he's joking

misleading you

[broken lark]

I heard dragons lost already

[raw ermine]

playoffs didn't start yet

[broken lark]

Well like I said I’m new and stupid to this kinda esports thing

[raw ermine]

they were the worst team by far season 1, so that's probably where you heard it from.

[broken lark]

Ah

[north relic]

there are 4 stages

stage 4 just finished

valiant won stage 4

[north relic]

he probably means they getting knocked out in cc

[tacit skiff]

If the Valiant had gone 7-0 in the CC, would they have been able to qualify for playins?

would it have been enough points to beat the Spark?

Rooting for Uprising Academy letsgoo

[north relic]

I don’t think so

How many points does spark have

7

But tourney points mean less for tiebreaker

[tacit skiff]

that'd be really disappointing for the Valiant

imagine if the LAV, Spitfire or Titans managed to 7-0

but still couldn't get in

[willow tartan]

yes

cause bonus league points

tiebreaker first goes to map differential

wait nvm tournament matches dont count map differential

[hot onyx]

Why didn’t anybody notify me when Uprising Academy signed Itsal and QoQ?

God tier tankline

Actually smurfing in NA Contenders

[tacit skiff]

the entire UA team seems really solid

Hydration got ran over so many times there

[tropic herald]

Wait NA has good games tonight wtf

[willow tartan]

literal grand finals

[tacit skiff]

If only we had these kinds of players on the Uprising

I don't see why they don't use Stellar in the league

Stellar > Im37

[willow tartan]

why do you trust NA contenders as a metric

[tacit skiff]

Stellar has been in the league before

Theyve shown potential

[vagrant cargo]

Stellar only better on tracer

He should be their tracer player tho

Give boston heesu sado stellar

And u have a p nutty team

[tacit skiff]

Stellar had the injustice of being on the TD, like Decay on the Fuel, Sparkle on the Eternal, Crimzo on the Outlaws

[vagrant cargo]

Sparkle on the eternal and crimzo on Houston?

Que?

How are those injustice

Paris were top 4 while not having him for half a season

And crimzo aint even a top 3 starter on houston

Danteh or happy would have been better examples

[tacit skiff]

If you don't realize that's wrong with both those teams, then you haven't been watching

Not feeding you any longer bye

[vagrant cargo]

No im genuinly curios

How was sparkle Paris injustice

They finished top 4 regular season and won a title

And crimzo isnt bad but he suits Houston they are a mid table team

Also Stellar and Toronto in general did quite well when he was there for stage 1 S2

Toronto went to shit after he left

[willow tartan]

crimzo's play has not really impressed me as standout

[vagrant cargo]

Thats because he isnt a standout

[tacit skiff]

watch Oasis vs the Justice, really impressed me there

[vagrant cargo]

He didnt do anything special that map

[willow tartan]

idk, i feel like crimzo's peak is similar to houston's peak

[vagrant cargo]

Hes p much a healbot that ocasionaly feeds or ocasionaly frags

[willow tartan]

just really upper mid

[tacit skiff]

Crimzo is great when he can get enabled

[vagrant cargo]

Que

Thats Not his role

He is the enabler

His entire OWL career has been him.enabling ppl

[worn falcon]

Spark gonna rise next year, with the power of anime

[vagrant cargo]

Like decay danteh or jjangu for example

[willow tartan]

they sign mikasa to play flex support

[trail perch]

Yes.

Yes we will

[tacit skiff]

Oasis was a great example of that, he was out putting enough damage and healing to build Trans up fast enough every fight

[willow tartan]

she dominates as hard as jjonak in s1

[noble nexus]

hey I mean the spark got rid of a xenophobe so they're going in the right direction if you ask me

[vagrant cargo]

Thats pretty common for flex supps that arent named.ripa or roolf

Or bebe

[worn falcon]

When they stop playing arraging chairs coach edition.

[willow tartan]

theyll do that when they move to NA

its the apac curse of team structure rotating every stage

[worn falcon]

apac needs more team to rotate forever

[tacit skiff]

a Chinese team moving to na, yeah right

[vagrant cargo]

Anyways can someone pls explaim to me how sparkle Paris and fuel decay are similar?

[worn falcon]

i mean for EU and APAC viewers getting more matches

[trail perch]

no

No we cant

Carpe>Profit kinda dumb

Sparkle paris had a top team

[tacit skiff]

@hot onyx

[trail perch]

Xzi

Hanbin

[worn falcon]

instead having to no sleep to watch NA teams

[trail perch]

Fielder

[tacit skiff]

who's in playoffs

[worn falcon]

Xzi :sadge:

[trail perch]

FDgod

soon

And benbest peak

[willow tartan]

i mean

[tacit skiff]

Soon, don't remind me

[willow tartan]

top 5

[worn falcon]

oh my nitro ran out

[tacit skiff]

the tragedy of losing Soon this season

[willow tartan]

they still got dumpstered by all the teams above them

[worn falcon]

Benworst

[tacit skiff]

Lost Soon to Valorant rip

[vagrant cargo]

Agreed

[hot onyx]

Yes?

[trail perch]

dumpstered????

By whoom

[vagrant cargo]

Especialy considering Paris players literally wanted to stay together

[worn falcon]

If london changes Hadi for Benbest would improve to b tier team

[trail perch]

I dont think the summer showdown was a dumpster

Or countdown cup

[willow tartan]

that's because of a one off stupid meta

[trail perch]

a 3-1 isnt a dumpster

[vagrant cargo]

Hadi literally dicked benbest in EU

[tacit skiff]

who's in playoffs, Carpe or Profit

[vagrant cargo]

Any EU MT would look like shit in London

[hot onyx]

WhoRU

[vagrant cargo]

Even fearless wouldnt look as good as He is now

There is only so much u can do

[tacit skiff]

I just threw up in my mouth

[worn falcon]

But Benbest was way better than Hadi in his OWL Career

[willow tartan]

yeah but the league was worse when benbest was in

[vagrant cargo]

Yeah because he had a top tier coaching Staff and a top tier surrounding cast

The 2 most important outside factors for MTs

[tacit skiff]

What's the point of having so many players when you just bench them for an entire season

[willow tartan]

substitutes.

[vagrant cargo]

When he and hadi jad even playground hadi fucked him

[tacit skiff]

Geguri type beat

[willow tartan]

what if your star dps player has a collapsed lung and you need a substitute to be able to fly to participate

[vagrant cargo]

Benbest didnt even outperform Daan.

[trail perch]

Benbest looked good

thats the thing

He didnt hold them back at all

[vagrant cargo]

Yes on a top tier team w a top tier coaching staff

[trail perch]

When put in a situation to succeed

he did

yeah

thats all that matters

he was set up to do well

[vagrant cargo]

He did great sure

[trail perch]

and didnt hold his team back

He didnt need to be that star

top 3

Main tank

[tacit skiff]

then you put your mt on dps
reverse checkmate

[trail perch]

He needed to not hold back sparkle and hanbin

[vagrant cargo]

But once he Lacked those top tier ressources He became bad again

[trail perch]

He just needed to look hot and not throw

[vagrant cargo]

If He was on London London would unironicsly be even worse

[willow tartan]

youd still need a substitute either way you pepege

[vagrant cargo]

For a EU MT hadi is good

[trail perch]

yeah cause synergy

[vagrant cargo]

There is no better Option

[trail perch]

but Hadi isnt hot enough to play for 2020 paris

[tacit skiff]

no-no, that's what we have a third support for

[vagrant cargo]

EU MTs in General just kinfa blow

[willow tartan]

that's a substitute

[trail perch]

he wouldnt fill the role

[willow tartan]

you can only have 2 supports in the field at any given time

[vagrant cargo]

He would be better than daan

[tacit skiff]

support on tank

[vagrant cargo]

100%

[tacit skiff]

myunbong Winston

[trail perch]

not rn

[vagrant cargo]

But doesnt matter MuZe is better anyways

[earnest leaf]

hadi is dogshit

[trail perch]

If he subbed rn

He wouldnt

cause new MT

[tacit skiff]

Silver3 > Hadi

[trail perch]

Just subbed in

But

[vagrant cargo]

I mean hes an EU MT what do u expect

[trail perch]

If he had the same amount of time as daan

yeah he would do better

[willow tartan]

silver3 > all of eu

[tacit skiff]

silver3 > all of owl

[worn falcon]

Hadi had the same team who won Contenders , same coaching too and yet was so bad

[willow tartan]

exactly

[tacit skiff]

you're comparing owl to contenders

[willow tartan]

that just shows how underdeveloped Europe is as a region

[worn falcon]

they had not excuse of synergy or anything

[trail perch]

EU contenders is just open divison

[tacit skiff]

teenagers to legit pros

[earnest leaf]

Hadi made so many individual mistakes

[trail perch]

They are shit

its that simple

EU players arent good

[earnest leaf]

man was just a feeder like roar

[trail perch]

Im sorry

you have the rare diamond in the rough

[willow tartan]

EU contenders is like Korean CSGO

[trail perch]

But besides that it doesnt matter

[trail perch]

korean cs turned into VS

[tacit skiff]

Contenders is so hectic
I love the variety in team comps sometimes

I'm genuinely having so much fun watching this match

[willow tartan]

and VS still get fked by other regions

or well, should be unless some major spaghetti spills happen

[trail perch]

no...

[willow tartan]

????

[worn falcon]

any people hyping contenders makes me skeptic of them, no matter if KR, China or NA

[trail perch]

they havent played yet

lol

But F4Q played well today

and VS is better than them

[tacit skiff]

my finger is getting callused from typing so much

[willow tartan]

no im saying that the korean valorant region is still weaker

[trail perch]

f4q took G2 the distance

[worn falcon]

Like hyping Muze, Mag, Kevster and saying they gonna stomp teams

The amount of people hyping Kevster was insane.

[willow tartan]

hyping up fearless coming out of 2019 contenders

[earnest leaf]

Kevster definitely lived up to the hype for tracer

His echo is also really solid, but otherwise his other heroes aren't mind blowing

[worn falcon]

With Kevster echo my main gripe was him playing the clones

As Echo, yeah agree solid

[earnest leaf]

that's dps players in general when copying

they copy a tank and fucking suck

[willow tartan]

gg wasabi boomed

[worn falcon]

as clone they sucked.

[willow tartan]

yaki 4 shatter

[worn falcon]

Practice like Hydration

become a MT

[willow tartan]

offroling so you get better at echo dupes

[tacit skiff]

UA clutch wow

that was beautiful

[tropic herald]

you guys be talking about owl or something but we can simply just watch na tendies and bask in the glory of UA

[willow tartan]

i mean theyre fighting a team with a dps on mt

[tacit skiff]

excuses

still can't believe Checkmate Rein took the Fuel to a map 5

[willow tartan]

Confidence is key.

[vagrant cargo]

He didnt have the same coaching and no danne+London just boomed

[willow tartan]

fake it till you make it

[vagrant cargo]

Benbest did bad in europe

[tacit skiff]

You're gonna need confidence when you charge into the enemy team like that

[vagrant cargo]

He literalky wssnt good in EU contenders when he went back

[willow tartan]

@worn falcon London Spitfire and Hadi had the same coaches except elbion. so my theory is just elbion diff.

so many free ult charge

[tawdry hamlet]

Crazy ua went from bottom 3 to top 3 with just tank changes

[tropic herald]

no

tank changes made them go from 3rd -> 2nd/1st

[willow tartan]

to 1st

[tawdry hamlet]

remember 3 months ago with gig adam tankline where they were insta eliminated

[tropic herald]

yeah but they had a tank change inbetween that and current

[tawdry hamlet]

yeah they had dank for a bit

I like gig as a dude but he kind of bottom tier

big dva bomb sheesh

I meant they went like bottom 3, top 3, top 2 with only tank changes

[smoky geode]

Active duty soldiers serve 1 year 6 months in the Army or Marine Corps, 1 year 8 months in the Navy, or 1 year 9 months in the Air Force.

And to seoul I say, drown them all

The parts that they have are salvageable

Until you wind up performing exactly the same during the regular season

Make it to playoffs

and almost predictably not get anywhere farther than grand finals to better competition on the other side

To hit that peak isnt worth it when you spent all regular season losing to a worse chengdu and a superior charge roster to do the playoffs pop off and nothing more

[next mesa]

Charge?

[sullen berry]

Yes well endowed belly snorlax

Da charge

Summer showdown champion of 2020

Who beat shanghai, reverse sweeper and may melee champion of 2020

What has seoul won, i'm dying for someone to tell me

[stuck radish]

didnt paris win the summer showdown in 2020

[next mesa]

2 diff tourneys remember

[stuck radish]

oh yeah i forgot they were separated by region

[idle beacon]

oh damn it

it's weekend again

and i've missed shitloads of matches probably again -.-

i can't see anything .. are there no matches?

[willow tartan]

no

break for 2 weeks from play ins to playoffs

[idle beacon]

damn

[willow tartan]

yeah cause teams gotta travel

games start on 21st

[idle beacon]

how many wins did SHD have?

[willow tartan]

in the regular season?

[idle beacon]

this month

[willow tartan]

this montht hey didnt play

[idle beacon]

😮

[willow tartan]

only play ins teams played

ppl locked for playoffs didnt

[idle beacon]

i can't see crap on owl site

ah found it

whats up with justice?

new lineup or what's going on?

[willow tartan]

wym whats up with justice

[idle beacon]

last time i was watching them, they weren't playing that proper. 3-2 to outlaws 😮

3-0 to paris 😮

[willow tartan]

outlaws threw, paris bad, justice improving

[idle beacon]

outlaws threw? 😄

[willow tartan]

yes outlaws played bad

[idle beacon]

paris isn't bad, for a team with no koreans

[willow tartan]

they dropped some maps they shouldnt have

[idle beacon]

hm ok

how many teams are there with non-asians? (not being racist here)

3?

titans, reign and paris. right?

[willow tartan]

2

london and paris

pelican is korean, teru is korean

[idle beacon]

what about titans?

[willow tartan]

changsik is korean

[idle beacon]

ok. so they've gotten themself a korean player in the last weeks?

[willow tartan]

no

since start of the season

no roster change

[mortal abyss]

changsik came in mid season did he not?

[willow tartan]

teru was start

[mortal abyss]

as a replacement for shredlock

oh

[idle beacon]

hm, last time i've checked their team (in july or august) they were playing with no korean player

titans

[balmy wolf]

qraigu represents his profile picture perfectly

cause he has no clue whatsoever

[mortal abyss]

💀

[idle beacon]

yea, cause i ain't following OWL so damn hard like you 🙂

[balmy wolf]

yes

im hard

[idle beacon]

eeww nasteh

[balmy wolf]

hard following owl of course

[idle beacon]

ye it is, if you ain't having the time. sorry

[balmy wolf]

what?

[sullen berry]

Why not take this time to rewatch the games you missed? It's a free weekend

Also titans have always had a Korean in Teru since the start of the season

Changsik didn't come in until June Joust qualifier to replace shredlock

[idle beacon]

will probably do so, once i find the time

[sullen berry]

Yeah I was thinking now, or around the time some dude here asked if he could learn how to watch an OWL VOD

[idle beacon]

the most interesting once only, though. probably both justice and phily matches

[sullen berry]

Philly was a ride, much like Washington

Have to see how spark was as lost as Vancouver titans

[idle beacon]

does that replayer still work? and if yes, how huge is the delay from the live match until you can watch it with that viewer?

[sullen berry]

It would normally take a few days after the weeks matches have all ended. They should be up already, just download and check it

[idle beacon]

gonna check now

[worn falcon]

Philly sadge

[idle beacon]

yup, the games from last weekend are already on the owl viewer. nice!! gonna watch them matches later tonite 🙂

Want to take a moment to thank all the players, staff, and fans. It was a tough loss after an even tougher season with so many ups and downs.

An aggressive rebuild begins today as we prepare for OW2. The long off-season is tough but looking forward to getting to work. https://t.co/1w2fAioBBl

Aggresive rebuild

Drop Marve1 and Gesture r my guesses

maybe gesture to coach

Sign NoHill cause they already have anti china with SBB

Maybe Sanguinar

Maybe Yaho cause they said aggresive

please for the love of god keep profits

[north relic]

???

profit will just rot on the bench like every flex dps that ever joined nyxl

[trail perch]

I mean fair enough

NYXL is where careers go to die

But imagine that sombra tracer

Or mei cree

or gwangboong profit ashe tracer

[vagrant cargo]

lmfaooo

also yaho? out of all kr mts yaho?

Yaho aggressive

I like yaho

If sbb doesn't retire to become content creator I'll honestly be surprised

[north relic]

After pine retires again bring he and sbb back to nyxl as a content creator

Actually a tracer specialist might help nyxl

[earnest leaf]

wasn't the issue with nyxl that their tank line was incredibly mediocre

and friday was super meh

[north relic]

Yea

But flora is both their sombra and tracer as well I think

Kalios is fine though

Replace yakpung Friday

[tawdry hamlet]

Kalios was fantastic

he brought that team up so much

[hot onyx]

Kalios is great but its not hard to replace Bianca and look good

[tacit skiff]

I was thinking this but for Jjonak
I think it'd be nice for Jjonak to be turned into a figure piece of the NYXL and turned into a content creator

JJonak sombra would like a word

no way they let go of profits

mr arnold should get them on a 100 year contract

What happened

[hot onyx]

Arnold from Gen.G (Seoul Dynasty) said after their 3-1 loss to the Philadelphia Fusion that an “aggressive rebuild” is going to happen to prepare for OW2

Arnold can shut up

No he shouldn't

Drop everything except profits

His fucking lips

[willow tartan]

He's fine, he's not holding back Seoul.

[noble nexus]

should've focus'd on the ring in both pics imo

[willow tartan]

Seoul's game plan is tanks and supports try to not throw long enough for Profits to win the game for them

[stuck radish]

they could be keeping gesture just in case roadhog becomes good in ow2

[north relic]

Lmao ow2 where hog specialist exists

[stuck radish]

sadge for all the dva and zarya specialists in OWL/contenders

[north relic]

Wdym isn’t off tank just dva specialist

[tawdry hamlet]

Unless double shield in which case 😡

For me the mid flex support game went like Myunb0ng>MCD>Creative>Bebe>Lastro>Kariv

Lastro has been excruciatingly worse this year for some reason

[stuck radish]

he deserves a better team

[forest raven]

[hot onyx]

Still won’t let me do preds sadge

[north relic]

The only one that comes to mind for me is gbs

[trail perch]

Lateyoung before

Geguri

[north relic]

Would sms count

[trail perch]

Ummmm

Idk they’ve never run him on zarya

Spree was a Zarya specialist

[north relic]

And dantehs was still better right

[trail perch]

I think

[willow tartan]

[north relic]

ig

[willow tartan]

Shock all season: doesnt go to hawaii, upsets Dallas once, no other impressive wins

Everyone: wow shock kinda fell off and aren’t sad strong as they used to be

Shanghai: yeah we’ll pick shock fo face off against in playoffs

Everyone: WOW OH MY GOD THEYRE GOING FOR IT RISKY

Twitter · Sep 7, 2021, 12:03 PM

[noble nexus]

idot

I mean the shock weren't the easiest pick

[earnest leaf]

still risky to pick shock

Easiest picks would have been philly/reign/justice

[noble nexus]

and they're gaining momentum in playoffs

[earnest leaf]

And they finally got their back line rotation in order on what they want to play

[worn falcon]

im sure shock gonna be rolled by chengdu anyways

[noble nexus]

my playoffs pickems is gonna be ass

[worn falcon]

but copium

[earnest leaf]

And also

We haven't seen shd/dallas go full throttle since summer showdown

So it's hard to gauge them

[worn falcon]

Using pine 🙏

[hot onyx]

What a 3-0 win vs the Defiant does to a mf

[worn falcon]

Dallas gonna choke

Like ol NYXL

[hot onyx]

Depends if they try to force ball

Other than a hitscan based comp Dallas beat Shock as long as they chew their food properly

[trail perch]

I heard decay isnt overrated

My summoning signal

He is clinically underrated

cause all anyone talks about is how hes overrated

No one even rates him

[hot onyx]

Rate deez nuts

[trail perch]

4/10

not my fav

[night lotus]

fusion >

Fusion best team

[gusty rampart]

Shanghai vs Shock will be interesting

Hoping Shock

Knowing Dragons

[stuck radish]

last year shock won in a 3-2

this year shock got worse and shanghai got better

so sadge

[gusty rampart]

Shock has it inside of them to do it

It'll require all they got

Dragons in Countdown Cup wasn't impressive remember

Literally lost to NYXL

[stuck radish]

yeah but they werent trying

shock has a chance of winning

its just a low chance

very low

[tawdry hamlet]

Dragons played whoru and develop they didn't care

[earnest leaf]

Ok I get they weren't practicing as much or running their normal roster

but they were still trying

To say they literally didn't try is just false

[gusty rampart]

C9 omegalul

I think they're good and I like them but Shock sicko mode is scary

[trail perch]

In what world

Shock have done zero things of value this entire season

and people just say that they're back

They lose to outlaws multiple times

Go to 5 with spitfire

and ppl are somehow scared of them

this isnt the shock of past years

[devout path]

Ok but

I think the idea is that shock who practices for one person is really really scary

And that we don’t know how good Shanghai is again after CC

[trail perch]

CC shanghai was just for rest and relaxation

it will be a 3-0

and it wont be close

also ball is just years better than rush

and shock sombra and tracer play is just so meh

glister is good at both but they dont usually run him on either

they also like never run sombra

[stuck radish]

i get predicting shanghai to win but a 3-0 wtf

[trail perch]

The all around best team of this entire year

who dismantled chengdu in the summer showdown finals

[gusty rampart]

Rewatch Toronto

[trail perch]

That wasnt value, toronto ball is not even close to like shanghai

or chengdu

or even philly

[gusty rampart]

Shock Haters talking about how much they hate Shock

Doubters

[stuck radish]

i dont see shock getting 3-0ed after weeks of prep and with it being playoffs time

[trail perch]

who can you prep against to counter shanghai

what team will give you that experience

[devout path]

It’s crusty

Idk

[stuck radish]

crusty finds a way

[gusty rampart]

People doubted Shock in 2019

[devout path]

Shanghai will probs win

[trail perch]

no they didnt

[gusty rampart]

People doubted Shock in 2020

[trail perch]

Not a single person doubted 2019 shock

[devout path]

Who

[devout path]

Who

[trail perch]

nope

again not a single person

they where a top 2 team both years

[stuck radish]

i do remember people doubting shock in 2020

[devout path]

What kind of idiots do you talk to

[trail perch]

and the best team in 2019 going into playoffs

[gusty rampart]

#esports-discussion

[devout path]

Not doubting just expecting other teams to do well

[gusty rampart]

Shock ended up #1 NA this year in qualifiers

[trail perch]

No they didnt

lol

Dallas

lmao

[gusty rampart]

12-4

[trail perch]

Atlanta

[gusty rampart]

Dallas went 11-5

[trail perch]

Glads

[stuck radish]

people expected shanghai to win last year

[gusty rampart]

Atlanta went 11-5

[stuck radish]

i do remember that

[trail perch]

League points dumbass

never going to hawaii hurts

[gusty rampart]

I said in qualifiers 4head

[devout path]

For good reason

But no one doubted shock

That’s just dumb

[stuck radish]

some people here did

dont remember who

[devout path]

Who

[gusty rampart]

Three-peat is 100% possible

[stuck radish]

yeah its possible but its gonna be a lot fucking harder

[gusty rampart]

It'll take a lot

[trail perch]

yeah and so is atlanta

[gusty rampart]

Haha

Look at this guy

[trail perch]

Every team winning is possible

[gusty rampart]

Thinking Atlanta winning

[trail perch]

doesnt make it likely

[gusty rampart]

Fusion?

[devout path]

Except philly

[gusty rampart]

Fusion?

[stuck radish]

atlanta winning is possible if they never fight shanghai

[trail perch]

its possible

technically

possible

[gusty rampart]

Shanghai will kick every teams ass

Shock seems like the candidate to dethrone Dragons

[devout path]

Dallas?

[trail perch]

glads

[devout path]

Chengdu?

[trail perch]

chengdu

dallas

[gusty rampart]

Chengdu nahhhhh

[devout path]

Probs not Chengdu actually

[stuck radish]

shock is the only team that really has a chance imo

[gusty rampart]

Dallas washed

[devout path]

Dallas????

[trail perch]

In what world does the shock have a better chance than glads or dallas

[stuck radish]

we already know shanghai beats dallas when peaking

[trail perch]

even on individual roles

[stuck radish]

glads is

[trail perch]

Glads just outclasses shock

[stuck radish]

glads

[trail perch]

Glads just won CC

like a month ago

[gusty rampart]

If Dallas can beat Shanghai, every team there can

[devout path]

Without the two superpowers

[trail perch]

yeah but like

how are the shock

the fucking SF shock

more likely to beat shanghai then the glads

[devout path]

It’s just a lot of shock copium

[gusty rampart]

Ans

[trail perch]

the glads at least have practice against the ball

[trail perch]

yeah cause hitscan is soooo good rn

[gusty rampart]

Ans can make it work

[devout path]

How are gonna shock gonna prepare at ALL for apac

[trail perch]

No he fucking cant lmao

He just hasnt popped off that much this year

[gusty rampart]

Are you high

Like actually?

[trail perch]

Your still huffing 2020 copium

[devout path]

Dallas can easily win if we see justice rush be really meta

[trail perch]

get ur head out of ur ass and realize that hitscan is pretty bad

teams not running sombra tracer r gunna get fucked

[devout path]

Debatable

I think echo is fine

[trail perch]

Yeah i mean echo and Hanzo is fine here and there

[devout path]

Cree can work

[trail perch]

ehh

decay made it work for a bit

but its not that good

its not going to give u more value than a tracer

or sombra

[devout path]

As long as not widow meta

[trail perch]

widow and ashe dont work rn.

[devout path]

God I wish so bad it was a widow meta

Please blizzard just super buff widow for playoffs

[trail perch]

Well its not

if it was

Washington stonks

[devout path]

Pine vs lip vs ans vs birdring vs kai vs leave vs carpe vs decay

Like that would be so fun

[next mesa]

Dallas will go to finals

[devout path]

Who knows

[tropic herald]

lip > all

lip gaming knows no bounds

[devout path]

I hope shock and Dallas if they play each other agree to both play widow for the fans

[earnest leaf]

so ans can bully them?

[devout path]

Ans vs pine

[earnest leaf]

pine would not have fun

[tropic herald]

pine playing seems very unlikely

[devout path]

It won’t happen but it would be so cool

Probably cuz not hitscan meta

[earnest leaf]

it's like an insult to ans

Who will win

the best widow

[stuck radish]

pine would get bullied

[devout path]

You have not watched pine play ow

[earnest leaf]

or some inconsistent hitscan player from s1

[tropic herald]

pine is probably the weakest of the hitscans in playoffs

[devout path]

I have more hope in pine than carpe

[tropic herald]

philly also have shockwave who plays the hitscan

[devout path]

True

[tropic herald]

carpe is turning into a flex player

[earnest leaf]

But I mean again

[tropic herald]

for philly

[earnest leaf]

Pine hasn't played since s1

and even in s1 wasn't consistent

[gusty rampart]

Nahhhhh

[earnest leaf]

it's like if xqc un-retired and came back and people hyped him up in a winston duel vs fearless

[stuck radish]

super is actually better than ans

theres a reason hes in the practice range as widow every stream

[gusty rampart]

?

[tropic herald]

ok well no it wouldnt be like xqc

[gusty rampart]

TRUE

[tropic herald]

xqc unironically is like masters

pine is still 4.4+

[devout path]

Xqc wasn’t even that good in season 1

[tawdry hamlet]

If you watch the game his aim is as good as ever easily more consistent than pine

[gusty rampart]

xQc played Overwatch the other day

[earnest leaf]

but my point stands in that pine hasn't played in owl since s1

and ans came off a year rolling everyone as widow

[next mesa]

Yeah but pine has been consistently 4.4k and on contender scrims and stuff

[gusty rampart]

Pine will most likely get dominated

[devout path]

More consistent I agree

[gusty rampart]

Ans>Pine

[tawdry hamlet]

Philly success this year hasn't been amazing but Carpe mechanics wise hasn't changed

[earnest leaf]

you see an actually good matchup to see would be lip vs ans

[tropic herald]

cant wait for o2 blast dps line rn to come into owl

[tawdry hamlet]

[earnest leaf]

two actually good hitscans that are proven

[gusty rampart]

Underrated Hitscan=Onigod

[tropic herald]

proper kilo merit

[tawdry hamlet]

Still waiting on necros replacing tsuna and being a genji specialist

[gusty rampart]

Haha

[devout path]

Ans vs pine would be someone getting dominated

[stuck radish]

it would be pine

[earnest leaf]

pine getting rolled

[gusty rampart]

Pine

[next mesa]

Carpe is still very good

[gusty rampart]

True

Hard carries Fusion

Wait

Alarm exists

[tawdry hamlet]

Alarm Funnyastro Carpe Shockwave Hotba have all had carry moments throughout the season

And eqo

The backline has been very good though

[tropic herald]

eqo sombra moment

[earnest leaf]

But in the end

[tawdry hamlet]

In his defense, Sombra was never meant to be in his hero pool

[earnest leaf]

i'm just curious to see if dallas/shd can get back into form for playoffs

[gusty rampart]

SHD always in form

[tropic herald]

shanghai will probably 3-0 shock

[earnest leaf]

not in the countdown cup

[gusty rampart]

Play Lip and Fleta lmao

[gusty rampart]

False

3-2 on either side

[tropic herald]

no

[gusty rampart]

Most likely Shanghai

[earnest leaf]

It's hard to predict the match

We know what shock is gonna do

but not what shd is gonna do

[gusty rampart]

There's no way Shanghai will 3-0 Shock

[earnest leaf]

For all we know shd is gonna mirror rush and get rolled

[gusty rampart]

If they do I'll gift Nitro

[tropic herald]

people acting like current shock n shanghai are comparable

[tawdry hamlet]

Shock force rein Shanghai just out skill them on whatever they want

[earnest leaf]

or they run ball tracer sombra and make shock look silly

[tawdry hamlet]

[earnest leaf]

might be a hot take

[tawdry hamlet]

Every single factor of this tourney is in Shanghais favor it is entirely theirs to lose

[earnest leaf]

Shd only beat shock if it's a ball or winston meta

[next mesa]

Shanghai will stomp shock

Like really easily

3-9

3-0*

Who's this dink guy

[gusty rampart]

No way
