it'd be nice if owl was profitable for orgs

[willow tartan]

It'd be nice if OWL was profitable...

[next mesa]

sigh

it'd be nice if we had 800k viewers

[willow tartan]

would it?

Imagine 500 marbles talking in this chat...

[next mesa]

ehhh

thats true

sometimes new blood is good tho we can bully them

[willow tartan]

what's that

“All things considered, the positives of picking Shock outweighed the negatives,” said Moon. “There’s not much about them to be scared of,

[gusty rampart]

Found the Grand Finals script

[willow tartan]

shock are a pretty one dimensional team + they played play ins so you know what they're gonna be playing

Gigachad poko comes in and diffs space, leading the fusion to a victory over the glads

legit coming in at the last possible moment

[tropic herald]

“I think people are sleeping on Washington. They clearly were working the hardest and improving the most to even get this far,” Masaa said.

washington hopium

[willow tartan]

i mean shock was picked before them so

maybe they know something we dont

[worn falcon]

I need Seoul hopium

[tawdry hamlet]

I'm sleeping on Washington because all those players had an entire season to build synergy and still haven't

[willow tartan]

they renamed the reinhardt 1v1 bot to Hadi

this is amazing

[tawdry hamlet]

[willow tartan]

ohh there's a list of names

1v1 Reinhardt Arena + Bot v1.1: XEEAE

If the old version was too easy for you, give this one a go and let me know how it goes

• The bot has custom names, if you want yours to be added in the list send me a replay of you beating the bot in a first to 20

its even harder now apparently

[north relic]

yo memeicus you wanna be in the bot?

first to twenty though, why so many games

[willow tartan]

time to start grinding

[north relic]

same

THE BOT DOES MORE DMG THAN ME COPIUM

[willow tartan]

i just got rolled

[stuck radish]

if it makes you feel better, hadi wouldnt win either

and hes an OWL player

[willow tartan]

the enemy rein has reach hacks

i literally cant corner swing for shit

wtf

[earnest leaf]

that bot is super dumb

[willow tartan]

yes it is super dumb cause it doesnt read your mind

[earnest leaf]

It's perfect mechanics

[willow tartan]

it just reacts off your input

[earnest leaf]

Which no one is going to do in an actual match

[noble nexus]

I think the whole point of it is to be super dumb and OP

[tropic herald]

https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/news/roster-construction-rules-for-the-2022-overwatch-league-season

[north relic]

i can corner swing but i swear he has faster shatter charge

[willow tartan]

thats cause he literally does

he has no ping so his shatter input goes in first

you need to block the first shatter

[north relic]

the only way i can find myself beating it is a lucky charge or just better firestrike aim

[willow tartan]

try to close the distance and pin him when he firestrikes

[north relic]

still pretty luck based

[worn falcon]

the structure hasnt changed

no new teams and stuff

700 bucks more for owl players

Players who were born on or before July 31, 2004, are eligible to sign a contract for the 2022 season. Additionally, the minimum salary for new Overwatch League contracts has been increased to US $50,700 to reflect a cost-of-living adjustment based on global inflation rates.

[hot onyx]

More two way players hell YEAH

[willow tartan]

700 bucks of inflation

[hot onyx]

God I love two way players

Elk

[willow tartan]

All teams are required to have at least six players signed to season-long contracts at all times over the course of a season.

[hot onyx]

Best ms in the league

[earnest leaf]

October will be a fun month for OWL

Will see if teams like shock/shd can keep their players

[willow tartan]

probably to prevent teams like valiant and vancouver from going super cheapo mode

[worn falcon]

smurf/super retiring

[earnest leaf]

I could see it

[hot onyx]

Yeah Super retires to stream full time

Very plausible scenario

[worn falcon]

ans retires forever

striker get signed by Vanc

[hot onyx]

Nah mate I know the new Titans roster rn

[willow tartan]

dude ow is literally preventing me from queueing

[hot onyx]

Got leaked

[willow tartan]

blizzard doesnt want players to play its game

[earnest leaf]

But ngl I could easily see super staying

He's purely driven out of spite to win and beat other teams

[worn falcon]

super may stay if get more money and memes

[willow tartan]

Spite is the most powerful weapon

[worn falcon]

get rich selling your merch

[willow tartan]

every esport competitor is driven off of spite

[hot onyx]

Aspire EQO Punk Reiner OJEE and Kaan

Vancouver Titans 2022

[worn falcon]

ta1yo retiring too

[willow tartan]

will benbest be in the league by 2022

[north relic]

how strong do you think tracer will be

in ow2

[earnest leaf]

very

[tropic herald]

Depends

[willow tartan]

not as strong because the new hero is going to be busted

and its more likely than not going to be a fdps

[hot onyx]

I think every dps will be overpowered because of a lack of peel from an off tank

[willow tartan]

like seriously when are we gonna get a hitscan

[hot onyx]

Gotta love the devs

[tropic herald]

Sojourn

[gusty rampart]

Super won't retire unless asked to

[worn falcon]

Bastion

[willow tartan]

sojourn is a railgun right

hitscan charge beam

[worn falcon]

and a rifle

[gusty rampart]

Yes

[willow tartan]

its widow without a scope

sounds perfect

[worn falcon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bov6t67NGz4

nah, she is like soldier rn

[willow tartan]

but we need more hitscans in the game to balance out the dps

[worn falcon]

no spread and railgun

[north relic]

do railguns have falloff

[hot onyx]

Imagine being a tank main in OW2 couldn’t be me

[worn falcon]

seems projectile, so probs no falloff

[north relic]

sadge

[willow tartan]

out of the 18 dps

theres only widow cree ashe as the boomstick heroes

i guess soldier too but fuck soldier

[hot onyx]

Hanzo might fall into that category

[willow tartan]

yeah but im bad at hanzo i need more heroes where i can just click heads

[hot onyx]

70m arrow headshot go zhoom

[willow tartan]

wait sojourn is projectile?

it looks hitscan to me

[worn falcon]

the beam builds up ads long you do dmg

[willow tartan]

ohh

so it ramps up like sym?

[worn falcon]

yeh, but you gotta hit your shots

the counter in the middle

[willow tartan]

if you miss is it like a streak break or smthn

[worn falcon]

fully charge railgun

[willow tartan]

how much dmg it do?

[worn falcon]

when you hit someone goes up slowly

no idea

[north relic]

like zarya energy except its based on you hitting people?

[worn falcon]

yeh

[willow tartan]

regular fire charges up railgun fire

[worn falcon]

yeh

[north relic]

mm

[willow tartan]

you release the energy in a railgun shot

[north relic]

i can see railgun one shotting tanks ngl

i hate her

[willow tartan]

widow cant even 1 shot tanks

no way that railgun one shots

[north relic]

yea but you have to build it up

idk though

[worn falcon]

https://youtu.be/bov6t67NGz4?t=190

check that time stamp

[willow tartan]

i heavily doubt ow devs would ever allow a hero that can one shot a tank

[worn falcon]

how she builds up

[willow tartan]

like not a one shot combo

but just 1 mouse click

seems pretty unlikely

[north relic]

its so blurry

[willow tartan]

maybe like

hanzo level damage?

[north relic]

seemed to do like 300 headshot

[willow tartan]

oo

so that is widow level damage but it takes more time to charge up

[north relic]

her ult is widow dmg except its cree fire rate

[willow tartan]

yeah thats gonna be so fun

more specifically... duping her as echo is going to be so fun

[next mesa]

I hope we get like 10 new heroes

[north relic]

whats the rein 1v1 code again

[next mesa]

that would be almost worth the wait

[hot onyx]

Dude OW2 would be so fun in 6v6

[willow tartan]

XEEAE

[worn falcon]

oh, this part is ult

charged rifle ult

[willow tartan]

does she get dmg boost with ult?

i think she does right

so regular shot would be like what. 250?

200

[next mesa]

that looked like 250

orisa was a bit more than half hp w armor

[worn falcon]

because the meter doesnt goes up, so hit Q, consecutive charged rails

[willow tartan]

yeah but i thought her ult boosted her damage

[worn falcon]

non Q, you gotta hit someone to build up charge

[willow tartan]

idk it sounds nice to play with

cause i hate the scopes in ow but i like to snipe

let me noscope on widow pls

[north relic]

guys i won once

can i be in owl

[willow tartan]

youre fighting against the entirety of the LAG?

[worn falcon]

the thing makes me wonder, are they gonna hide sojourn? since she was in the beta

[willow tartan]

why would they hide new heroes

[worn falcon]

in the exhibition match

[willow tartan]

o

in the exhibition match

i thought you meant in s5 nvm

[next mesa]

IS SHE HITSCAN OR SOME SHIT

oops caps

like tracking

[willow tartan]

she looks like hitscan to me

i hope she is

[worn falcon]

hitscan projectile

[willow tartan]

her primary is proj and her secondary is hitscan?

[worn falcon]

m1 is rifle like soldier, m2 is railgun which seems projectile.

[willow tartan]

oh

[next mesa]

isnt railgun just hitscan with a charge time though or im trippin

[willow tartan]

It looks like hitscan

[worn falcon]

railguns are usually projectile, may be wrong though and since that demo till beta reelasea can change anything

[next mesa]

i c i c

[worn falcon]

because that demo was this too

[willow tartan]

n swinny

[worn falcon]

that scatter

[willow tartan]

winston can finally fight against pharmercy

EZ dub

[worn falcon]

he did that before was mainstream

did you forget fissure slapping pharah?

[willow tartan]

i love primalling into pharmercy

my favourite pasttime actually

thats my preferred method

[worn falcon]

https://youtu.be/25uAWs2Bfqo?t=48

[willow tartan]

honestly looking at it now

why did agilities barrage

and more importantly where is the rest of fissure's team

nowhere to be found

[north relic]

im making progress boys

[north relic]

wasnt it miro

[worn falcon]

no, fissure

look the clip.

[north relic]

how do you send a replay btw

[north relic]

i remember miro slapping a pharah/mercy around

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92IYIXQHSFM

[willow tartan]

idk @ him on twitter with the replay code or smthn

him being Seita_OW

fusion analyst workshop god

[north relic]

I don’t have a Twitter though

Sadge

[willow tartan]

idk dm him on discord

prolly onn the philly fusion server

[north relic]

Ok

[willow tartan]

or send him an email

o actually

he has a discord server

his twitter page links to a website with a link to his discord @north relic

[north relic]

ok ty

20 games damn

[worn falcon]

Mercy, not the pharah lol

[north relic]

Yea

[willow tartan]

its not 20 games

[north relic]

20 wins

[willow tartan]

its beat the bot in a first to 20

[willow tartan]

Do you guys think Chengdu would've not finished fourth in the May Melee if they knew about the wrecking ball tracer sombra comp back then?

Did you guys see the new video?
"Winning isn't actually important. What's important is the journey." - Dpei

literally pre-copium

[next mesa]

ahahaaaaa

[north relic]

Don’t some people say that the process is more important than the result though in things other than overwatch e sports

When are encores btw

[willow tartan]

No idea if we're even getting encores

Maybe no encores cause they want ppl to buy tokens for all star skins

But they can pass it off as "oh the games start at reasonable enough time" since it's not middle of the night for east asia

[north relic]

I thought there were encores for every match

[tawdry hamlet]

I mean no matter who wins a lot of times it's nice to see a historically bad team make second round playoffs and such

At least I see it that way

That sometimes the lower seeded teams who barely made it at all are fun to watch because well at least they made a playoffs loll

[north relic]

Last games of ow1

[tawdry hamlet]

I see it a lot more in like basketball, where on one hand I could be sad the trailblazers get knocked out first or second round every year or happy they make it to second round playoffs at all lol

[willow tartan]

sure it's fun but I'm still gonna mald if Dallas and Shanghai shit the bed

I want other teams to play up, not them to play down

[next mesa]

fuck the blazers wasting dame's prime literally

dame should get the fuck out in that bitch

[gusty rampart]

These are all almost impossible

[trail perch]

not the moth threepeat

i doubt he gets stage time

Since LiPs in i think we get at least one memp

Pine prob gets to play some cree

i think

Attacker spawn widow maybe cause some teams might have a bamboozleeque play coming

[earnest leaf]

glads aren't winning

so not possible for moth

[tiny pollen]

iris and dallas ball possible

maybe also 12 ults

[tropic herald]

Top left to bottom right is somewhat feasible

[tiny pollen]

hog?

[tropic herald]

Hog mt for 5 mins is very do able

[earnest leaf]

Unless hog is meta no it isn't

[tiny pollen]

4th colum is kinda doable

maybe 1st colum

1st row would be easy if leave one wast there

[tawdry hamlet]

I mean that's on the front office 😭 they had like 5 good seasons of prime cj and Dame around and the best they could do was Meyers Leonard and Plumlee and a grandpa Carmelo Anthony 😭

But uh yes eSports hi

[gusty rampart]

Hello Michael

[tawdry hamlet]

Hello, I have my driver's license test at 3:30pm tomorrow during owl

[tropic herald]

If ur gonna lie at least spell esports right

[gusty rampart]

Luckily OWL for me is in the evening

[next mesa]

cj isnt it as second option (also yeah pine cree yes yes)

[tawdry hamlet]

Mobile autocorrect type beat

[gusty rampart]

First match starts at 6:00 pm for me

[tawdry hamlet]

He was but he's regressing, like 2 seasons ago was prime dame cj

NBA and owl videos saving my free time insanity

[next mesa]

yeah but they're never gonna win a ring with a team built around cj and dame

if it was like dame embiid i could totally see it

[sullen berry]

Work much like luigis gf is saving my free time insanity, as you describe it

I might miss a lot of live game time but hey, wfh still has its benefits

[mortal cipher]

Lol

[stuck radish]

50k a year for playing video game

nice

[tawdry hamlet]

I mean it's more than that it's playing the game like 12 hours a day 5-6 days a week

It's a big commitment

That I feel is often missed when people think of it as just "money for game"

[tiny pollen]

cool experience tho

[sullen berry]

There's four matches, download the OWL app to keep up

Or check the schedule for your timezone here

https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/schedule?stage=regular_season&week=24

You have exactly 12 hours until Watchpoint pre-show before Pickems are locked

The 1 hour pre-show is crucial for me anyways. Get pumped and refresh my memory if these matches will have good matchups coming up

Thank you Zeppelin you did it buddy!

[left sentinel]

Is this only overwatch?

[last nimbus]

well its what you get paid if you play in owl

most players have a contract on the team of similar value probably

and then you have prize money

[plush grail]

do owl players have to pay rent nowadays?

[willow tartan]

no they live with their teams

inflation is probably for like food water and leisure items

[plush grail]

ah yes the paris team house

[willow tartan]

most orgs have a team base

i mean if valiant do then every team should

[plush grail]

vancouver titans be like

u get a fucking shed

[willow tartan]

but they get breadsticks

[gusty rampart]

They also usually can live in apartments nearby

[willow tartan]

o yea

but id assume their living costs are subsidized

ig it depends on the contract

[next mesa]

Noooo

I'm gonna miss the matches

[sand ether]

not sure this is the right channel but I just got accepted on my college esports team for overwatch :3 i’m playing on A team too!!

(a team = the first team, most competitions etc)

[tropic herald]

This is a channel about esports and collegiate counts so that’s pretty cool

[sand ether]

[next mesa]

Very cool 😎😎😎

[balmy wolf]

owl next then gj emma

[balmy wolf]

i wish we had something like this in my country

[vagrant cargo]

[balmy wolf]

thx mr jordan aka mr ive never missed once

[vagrant cargo]

😼

[willow tartan]

is youre american?

[vagrant cargo]

Also

[sand ether]

yes I am!!

[vagrant cargo]

Hot take

Appereantly

But i think Pelican Kai>Profit Fits

[willow tartan]

what college are you playing for?

[vagrant cargo]

But ppl on reddit got so mad at me 💀

[balmy wolf]

where else do they support collegiate esports

[willow tartan]

south korea

[sand ether]

not gonna say just cus my face is on the website

don’t wanna doxx myself

[willow tartan]

i mean you dont need to say your IGN

just your team so i can watch you get slapped by redbird

[sand ether]

it says my name, Emma on the website

with a picture of me so sowwy no ty

[balmy wolf]

as cold as space

[willow tartan]

alright i will look out for a collegiate player named emma

[vagrant cargo]

Kai is just a bit below fits and Pelican wipes profit

Yet the Pelican>Profit take was the one that made them mad 😭

[balmy wolf]

why would they put ur face on the website?

[willow tartan]

cause theyre players idiot

[balmy wolf]

thats ur data

dont they need permission

[willow tartan]

you sign rights to your face when you signed the contract

[balmy wolf]

ohhh

[willow tartan]

how do you think OWL teams make content with their players

content creation obligations

[balmy wolf]

i thought thats different in collegiate

[willow tartan]

i dont think so?

[worn falcon]

yes

[willow tartan]

never said you couldn't negotiate contracts shhh

cuz like if you took a look at collegiate players from last szn all their socials are public arent they?

[balmy wolf]

i bet they can have an option to not show their face

[willow tartan]

yeah but if youre someone who wants to go pro in OW

you need to get your brand out there anyways

so you want to plaster your face and your name everywhere

[balmy wolf]

?

unless some ppl dont

[willow tartan]

no that is true

just play ow 4 the scholarship

[balmy wolf]

man now I wish id live in usa

KkonaW

[willow tartan]

what role do you play againn?

[balmy wolf]

dps

they also have college football and stuff

i want that

[willow tartan]

yeah but american football is lame

[balmy wolf]

yeah soccer is far superior

[willow tartan]

imagine having a promising career in american football and then suffering an injury that kills your career entirely

at least in esports when you develop carpal tunnel and arthritis you can probably return in 5 years

(if you're good lol)

[balmy wolf]

u still do college then

ez af

I need a group to watch the play offs tonight with 👀

[willow tartan]

we have a owl watch party vc

idk why its limited to 24 people but i dont think we have 24 people that regularly talk here

[balmy wolf]

we have eu times at 3 am

so have fun guys

gonna miss every single minute of playoffs

thx owl

[tropic herald]

Avast co stream

[balmy wolf]

is it active? I never have before but I’ll give that a try lol and that’s rough man. Is avast a streamer

[willow tartan]

why watch avast co stream when you can watch sideshow costream

• you get tokens from his stream

[tropic herald]

Avast co streams every single game

He also has other ow esports guests

Basically they just shit on the teams

In a funny way

[willow tartan]

yeah wasnt avalla on one of those

[tropic herald]

Yeah

Lots of owl players, coaches, managers show up

[willow tartan]

super comes on the co stream bc smurf benched him

[north relic]

What tokens

[willow tartan]

overwatch league tokens

[north relic]

you get tokens from watching sideshow?

[willow tartan]

no there is no sideshow costream because he casts the matches

that's the joke

[north relic]

I have ruined your joke with my pure density

Make sure to leave the stream on for token farming

[stuck radish]

that means that every match will be 3-2 and two matches will be upsets

[willow tartan]

fusion upset glads

justice upset reign

[gusty rampart]

Isn't there a way to get tokens by putting it on without the connected symbol

[willow tartan]

yeah watch on the owl website

[gusty rampart]

Because I won't be home during encore

Can I leave it on my laptop before I go?

[willow tartan]

Idk if there will be encores

[stuck radish]

there are

[gusty rampart]

There are

[stuck radish]

do you have your youtube connected to ur blizzard account

[gusty rampart]

Yes

[stuck radish]

then you should be able to open the encore streams before they actually start and leave them

Probably a minor

there's like better talent

[next mesa]

uprising in owl did fine

[last nimbus]

i would like to see london spitfire v British hurricane

[next mesa]

idk like was there

any team that you are like uprising should've been better

[devout path]

You know London was just old hurricane right

[last nimbus]

yes

[next mesa]

also since stellar has been in the league before theres like better talent in KR to take a risk on

[last nimbus]

isnt sparkle still in hurricane too

[next mesa]

proper signing when

[last nimbus]

isnt he hybrid

[devout path]

And scrimming against owl teams daily definitely does help

[last nimbus]

sparker*

[devout path]

Sparkr is on London

[next mesa]

hybrid is on two way

[devout path]

Hybrid is on hurrican

[next mesa]

but hes never starting over sparkr

[devout path]

Let’s be honest might as well be only on hurricane

[next mesa]

yeah

[barren quest]

He's just too good for London

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/233904315247362048/878755294015025162/image0.gif

[next mesa]

London rn would slap hurricane around though

like a mega stomp

they cant even beat falcon esports

just lost faith in eu contenders

[north relic]

There is only one clip of hybrid

But it’s a good one

[willow tartan]

what about vs LAV

krystal karry

[tacit skiff]

I hate looking at Boston Uprising gifs and seeing M0uffin

[willow tartan]

not as much as i hate seeing stand1 on roadhog

[tacit skiff]

colourhex is a fucking criminal

[tropic herald]

None of them have the same preds as me

[tacit skiff]

anyone who votes Washington over Dallas is insane to me

[tropic herald]

I did it

[tacit skiff]

Crazy person

[tropic herald]

I see the future

[willow tartan]

no one has faith in the fuel to win it all

[tacit skiff]

the fact that Gaebullssi sees Pelican as the MVP winner and the Glads winning it all makes me disgusted

[willow tartan]

anyway at least none of the boston players are overdosing on shock hopium

[tacit skiff]

Leave is the guaranteed victor

[willow tartan]

leave being grand finals mvp requires chengdu to be in the grand finals

[tacit skiff]

not the most impossible thing in the world

after all

Seoul got in last year

[willow tartan]

seoul was the better team

[tacit skiff]

Seoul isn't even this time around

Chengdu Hopium

#LeaveMVP2021

[next mesa]

agree with faith

same preds as me

✊

full dallas hopium baby

although realistically, im37 pred

[noble nexus]

2 of them predicted glads to be champs and only one predicted dallas

based boston

[tropic herald]

https://strawpoll.com/kss2rbwub here is a poll for who you guys think is gonna win it all

im just curious

[willow tartan]

stop the vote

[next mesa]

fuel baybee

[hot onyx]

“No one”

[willow tartan]

why are you rooting for the fuel

[hot onyx]

Dallas are the underdogs out of the top 4 teams

[next mesa]

fuel gangg

[hot onyx]

For some reason

[next mesa]

no they're not

[willow tartan]

???

[next mesa]

they are #2 favourites bet bet

[gusty rampart]

Sans will never Burn Blue

[hot onyx]

When rush and monke dive are very viable

[willow tartan]

who are your top 4

shanghai dragons, shanghai, dragons and fuel?

[next mesa]

glads chengdu dragons fuel

[gusty rampart]

Spits out cereal

[next mesa]

but imo fuel is the second favourite

because

[willow tartan]

like how is fuel the underdog in the top 4

[hot onyx]

Out of the top 4 seeds

[next mesa]

glads and chengdu have no chance

of beating dragons

thats how I see it

who can beat dragons

[willow tartan]

top 4 seeds are dragons fuel uhh

[next mesa]

no one except maybe fuel

[gusty rampart]

Neither does Fuel

[next mesa]

Fuel has a much better chance than all the other teams

[hot onyx]

Some people just think Fuel are going to stay in their Countdown Cup form

And that they’re gonna shit the bed

[willow tartan]

Dragons Fuel Hunters and Glads

in that order

I think fuel have a better chance of beating dragons than hunters or glads

but i think glads or hunters can beat fuel

so thats why i dont have them in GF

[hot onyx]

I think Glads are better all rounded but Hunters have a better chance of beating Shanghai

[next mesa]

yes

[willow tartan]

Like the Hunters have Fuel's number

[next mesa]

hunters wont beat shanghai because they are just a shittier shanghai

only for like 1 tourney

Dragons have everyone's number except fuel

if fuel is out

which they might

then dragon wins

[willow tartan]

hunters and glads are like the two sides

hunters are shittier shanghai (ball comp)
glads are shittier shanghai (orisa comp)

[next mesa]

exactly

[hot onyx]

“Everyone’s” https://youtu.be/aumP2Y1BhM0

[next mesa]

no one is beating shanghai at those comps

sandbagging doesnt count

u guys got immediately reverse swept by seoul the next week somehow

[hot onyx]

Shanghai literally only practised less

[next mesa]

exactly

[hot onyx]

They didn’t full on throw the match

[next mesa]

like yeah they were trying to win, at the time of the match but thats different from preparing fully for the match

[willow tartan]

The players were trying to win. the coaches weren't.

[hot onyx]

That’s fair

But regardless, I don’t understand why people are predicting Dallas to be the “shit the bed upset” team

Rush and monke dive are very viable rn

Ball comps imo are overrated

And I’ve got faith in Rush to put the right pieces together and bring the Dallas Fuel back to their May Melee form

[stuck radish]

idk why i just dont have a good feeling about dallas

even before people were predicting them to be the disappointment team

[harsh sail]

Bonk

[willow tartan]

Cause most of the people who are predicting shit the bed are NA fans and NA fans want something to validate their hopium for their teams winning

[harsh sail]

Shock wins or rigged!!!

[willow tartan]

i think ball comp > monkey comp still

but more orisa now cause sigma not ban

[harsh sail]

Double Bubble = W

[willow tartan]

i dont think rush will be good

[hot onyx]

Rush can be viable on some maps

Control maps in particular

[willow tartan]

like i genuinely think may melee couldve gone differently if chengdu played the ball tracer sombra

[harsh sail]

Rush is a lil hard to pull off but when done correctly = gg

[hot onyx]

Maybe force it on Hanamura or Anubis

[harsh sail]

2cp cancer

[hot onyx]

True but it’s also a map requirement for now

And idk how much fun “push” is going to be

[balmy wolf]

u guys are trolling right

rush is by far the easiest comp to play

[willow tartan]

doesnt mean its good

[balmy wolf]

and anubis will always be a dive map u wont force rush at all there

[balmy wolf]

he said its the best comp

[willow tartan]

and im saying hes smoking

[balmy wolf]

hes smoking farts

to think that

[vagrant cargo]

Doesnt.matter what comp

Glads claps all

[willow tartan]

Seriously what has made you think that ball is outdated and rush is better? @hot onyx

[vagrant cargo]

And if we dont League is just swedephobic

[hot onyx]

I never said that rush is “better” I just said that with the meta being so diverse that it’s perfectly viable and that a lot of people have hyped up ball comps to be the only viable composition

[willow tartan]

I think teams will try to force rush but i dont think it'll be the prevailing one

[vagrant cargo]

I hope glads vs philly is rush v rush

[willow tartan]

like shock

why would glads mirror rush into philly

[vagrant cargo]

Its phillys best comp so it would prolly be the closest match between the 2

I wanna See a banger match

Rush v Rush is fun to watch

Iz wont happen thp

Tho

[hot onyx]

Bruh you say that as if it’s not gonna go to map 5 in a monke, ball or bunker mirror

[balmy wolf]

dallas reign gonna rush 100%

[willow tartan]

glads vs philly could also be a spaghetti match

[hot onyx]

True

[vagrant cargo]

Dont think its going to a map 5 if glads keep their level of play

[willow tartan]

dpei drugs and ninek narcotics

[hot onyx]

Definitely going to at least 5 if Fusion keep up their level of play

[vagrant cargo]

We are just better on every Position and more flexible

[willow tartan]

alarm:

[vagrant cargo]

Shu is even w him

And has more ressources

[tropic herald]

alarm v shu is even

[vagrant cargo]

So He is more likely to perform better

[willow tartan]

idk we havent seen moth play too much

[balmy wolf]

kaan is better tho

[willow tartan]

so we dont know how he stacks up

against fastro

[vagrant cargo]

Also phillys level of play isnt even around CC Atlantas level of play rn

[hot onyx]

Glads only have a definite better tankline

[vagrant cargo]

Lol

Philly didnt even Clap a weak seoul and spark

[tropic herald]

glads is simply just philly w better individuals

:P

[vagrant cargo]

While glads was beating a top tier shock and a great chengdu

[hot onyx]

And Fusion are just getting better and better with the more time they get to adapt and integrate

[willow tartan]

we have no frame of reference

cause theres been a lot of down time for teams to train

[hot onyx]

Glads beat a top tier Shock in 2020 Shock has not been top tier this season

[vagrant cargo]

?

CC qualifier shock was the third best team in the League lol

U could even make a case for second

[willow tartan]

???

[vagrant cargo]

Shock v Glads was crazy close

[hot onyx]

Actually off the hoop

[willow tartan]

yeah that doesnt translate you know

cross regional

[vagrant cargo]

They were deffo better than ping pelican Atlanta and seoul

[willow tartan]

different regions have their own kinks

[vagrant cargo]

Eh

[willow tartan]

like how NA shock will lose to houston 100% of the time

and in apac the qualifiers indicate little to nothing on how teams not named shanghai will perform in the knockouts

[vagrant cargo]

If twilight didnt threw that i think shock would have taken their last matcg

And first match was them underperforming hard

[willow tartan]

TP moment

their first match was shock underperforming?

dude they legit almost won

[earnest leaf]

nah glister fucked that tp up too

[vagrant cargo]

Against Houston yeah

[willow tartan]

just lucky firestrike on to viol2t that ended the game

[vagrant cargo]

Shock played super sluggy

[willow tartan]

if they had window shock woudlve won 100%

[vagrant cargo]

Yeah

But Houston werent thst great either

[willow tartan]

also both kinda got clowned on in knockouts

[vagrant cargo]

Houston caught shock and dallas when they were weak

[earnest leaf]

I've said it before

the peak of houston's season is beating shock twice

[tropic herald]

houston got overrated after mm

[vagrant cargo]

Yes

[willow tartan]

where is the wrongness

i dont see it

[vagrant cargo]

Anyways

[earnest leaf]

they also did weird shit with the roster

randomly throwing dreamer in

[vagrant cargo]

I just hope we curbstomp philly

[earnest leaf]

refusing to run joobi

[tropic herald]

also i think houston had a pretty easy ss

[vagrant cargo]

Joobi is also just not good

Dude just exists

[willow tartan]

fusion beating glads would be cool to see

[earnest leaf]

Remember when houston had to win a single map to get into the knockouts

[willow tartan]

so we can get glads v shock rematch

[earnest leaf]

and went 0-6

[vagrant cargo]

No.

[willow tartan]

but also shock v philly rematch would be epic

one year in the making

[vagrant cargo]

We get glads vs shock rematch after shock 3-0 Shanghai frauds

[willow tartan]

haha, maybe in season 7,042

[earnest leaf]

we'll see

feedjaegon might appear

[willow tartan]

feedjaegon vs feedgod

[earnest leaf]

the best matchup

[willow tartan]

trueing

the two most mechanically skilled lucios matching up

just let them 1v1 off the side

[tropic herald]

void gonna have a deadlift game on dva

choi gonna get sent to toronto

[willow tartan]

so what is the playoffs format again?

control then hybrid then assault then payload then control?

what is the order

[gusty rampart]

I've been waiting to see this for years

[willow tartan]

like last year

just two lucios wallriding off the side of the teamfight 1v1ing

thats the fdgod style

[mortal cipher]

lol

[north relic]

do you think moth plays?

[willow tartan]

If they play lucio obv

like if they go rush

I think we'll see at least one rush map

[earnest leaf]

glads aren't going rush

they suck at it

[mortal abyss]

Apparently shock scrimbux is rlly high rn

[mortal abyss]

https://youtu.be/xrHY_0nGjk8

[agile iris]

So, will half of tank players go unemployed or will they continue as specialists in playing certain tanks?

[balmy wolf]

specialists

[agile iris]

Good, that makes more sense. Reminds me of how at least at some point almost every team had a Genji one trick in their roster

[tropic herald]

are dallas even scrimming anyone but NA now?

wait

oh this is from today

if shock win this season

im gonna be annoyed

it wouldve been like seoul winning last year

[balmy wolf]

dont worry

atlanta wins#

[north relic]

i would be more mad if shock won this year than if seoul won last year

[willow tartan]

So... does poko play?

[north relic]

i doubt it

whats the match order

[willow tartan]

Justice v Fuel then Fusion v Glads then Dragons v Shock and then Hunters v reign iirc

[remote scroll]

When is the Live starting?

[tropic herald]

2h for the games

[remote scroll]

Gotcha, thanks.

[balmy wolf]

cant watch at all pogchamp

[remote scroll]

Shucks but it'll be in encore, I'd reckon

[willow tartan]

Don't worry I'll @ you when Atlanta loses

[balmy wolf]

fuck u

i hope shanghai gets rolled

go shock

[remote scroll]

[willow tartan]

I hope Atlanta gets rolled :>

let's go hunters!

[balmy wolf]

anyways

lets go philly

oh wait

[tropic herald]

!!owlstart

[young fractal]

The matches start in 1 hour, 57 minutes

[tropic herald]

[willow tartan]

Has that always been a thing?

[trail perch]

You mean tracer?

I cant think of any genji onetricks ever

[tropic herald]

I just made it

Bc I forgot the syntax for countdowns but then remembered it

[willow tartan]

Now you will have to set it up for every owl day

[tropic herald]

Not terrible to fix

[willow tartan]

or if a mod gets chosen from eSports discussion

[agile iris]

I don't know I just remember a video that claimed OWL teams had Genji specialists in their roster

[north relic]

no please

[agile iris]

But that was years ago

During a different meta

[stuck radish]

finally a good take

[sullen berry]

Yes. Have you seem Seagull's genji? Or Profit on Spitfire?

Although one trick is a bit of an exaggeration, flex dps is more accurate

[trail perch]

Seagull was dva player

and profit was a tracer player still

with birdring on the hard hitscan

profit played everything

[sullen berry]

Seagull blessed the OWL with the junkrat spray bait

[trail perch]

yeah but like

tracer specialists where the thing

Asher

Bunny

Mendo

Clockwork

SBB

[plush grail]

When time game on will be live?

[sullen berry]

Everyone remember mendo's excuse for benching himself, apart from the stress of facing better tracers in the league?

Because I remember

[trail perch]

I dont

s1 i didnt focus on houston at all

their season was a blur

[sullen berry]

Less than 99 minutes
Watchpoint in 40

[trail perch]

I remember linkzr was good stage 1

Houston was good stage 1

[sullen berry]

I shouldn't need to tell you of all people luigi

[trail perch]

then they where just average

[sullen berry]

Since your team made it the finals, right

[north relic]

luigi watching something other than a paris game?

[sullen berry]

Impossible

[trail perch]

what was mendos excuse?

[plush grail]

too busy with my gf

[north relic]

not busy enough to ask when owl starts

[north relic]

when we getting an owl wallpaper

[mortal cipher]

yee

[haughty crag]

so if i just have the stream open but like muted and im on a different tab will it still count for the drops watchtime

[willow tartan]

no

you have to have the stream unmuted

[haughty crag]

oh

well i can just mute it in my volume mixer so

ez bypass

[willow tartan]

maybe

idk cause i never try

[haughty crag]

ye i will probably leave it unmuted but

as long as i can have it idle thats all i need

i dont have the patience to watch long enough for drops

acc how long does it normally take for rewards to come through onto the game

[willow tartan]

when watchpoint starts

[haughty crag]

nono like

once ive watched say 3 hours

is there a delay time before i get the rewards on my account

[willow tartan]

yeah

less than 24 hours

usually

[haughty crag]

oh thats not too bad then

[tawdry hamlet]

I'm finna miss the first few games since I have my driver's test today

[haughty crag]

rip gl

[willow tartan]

You can always take your driver's test in the off season.

[tawdry hamlet]

Dude I've waited like 4 years for this since shit kept getting in the way in high school I'm not tryna wait longer

[willow tartan]

wow... imagine being busy and having things to do

[haughty crag]

hour of watchpoint before the first game goddamn

[tropic herald]

i think theres lots of content

[tawdry hamlet]

just want watchpoint to hurry tf up and start so I can connect for rewards

[tropic herald]

!!owlstart

[young fractal]

The matches start in 1 hour, 4 minutes

[haughty crag]

4 matches today tho

hoping for a shock win

[willow tartan]

Tokens are already up just refrrsh

[north relic]

drop spam

[willow tartan]

why do the mods not like !drops

also imagine being a moderator for the overwatch league YouTube chat

[tropic herald]

its probably a filtered phrase

[willow tartan]

But why ban drops of all things

[haughty crag]

wait theyre saying that i should see connected but like... where should i be seeing that exactly

[tawdry hamlet]

It is connected now when I refreshed at 4 min it didn't say connected

Bottom of the video next to the plus and like symbols

[willow tartan]

Like sure it's spam but it's not like you're gonna get any meaningful conversation in YT chat with all their wack ass takes

[north relic]

why dont they filter shock the world then

[haughty crag]

oh yep it says it

[tawdry hamlet]

[haughty crag]

ty

[north relic]

its kinda sad that yt chat only cares about drops though

[haughty crag]

alr what are our predictions for the day

[north relic]

here we go

this is a skins ad

why didnt johnny jump

[tropic herald]

shanghai skyline is sick

[last nimbus]

[mortal cipher]

yay

[north relic]

[willow tartan]

Is that the real outside or is it one of those 360 degree panels

[worn hornet]

inb4 production finds a way to shrink him

[willow tartan]

like the shit they filmed the mandalorian on

[tropic herald]

its very real

[willow tartan]

idk it kinda looks low res

[wintry kraken]

i learned a new word. Drawdowns

[worn hornet]

if it was on a Volume they'd be lit better

[north relic]

johnny dives into the ocean if shock wins

[candid gyro]

If shock wins

wyd

[willow tartan]

if it was on a yacht it would've been better

[north relic]

owl aint rich

[willow tartan]

now the question is what if it rains mid broadcast

[worn hornet]

rent one of those cruise ships that's been stuck in port for 2 years

[haughty crag]

if shock wins i will be glad

if shock does not win i will not really mind
