or

how about this

leave jinmu in for pharah sombra

keep jinmu*

and genji

kick taro and jimmy

sign apr1ta

apr1ta/leave permastart

except on sombra pharah genji metas

[tawdry hamlet]

You're talking like Chengdu ever take the straightforward route

[tiny pollen]

Leave aprita jimmy

jimmy is legit good

chinese ans

[earnest leaf]

imo chengdu need another dps that has either a top tier tracer or echo

so they can run tracer echo properly

[next mesa]

literally apr1ta

best tracer in contenders not named proper

[next mesa]

Yes but leave also has top 3 echo

[last nimbus]

give the man 2 keyboard and mice and Chengdu is settled

[earnest leaf]

watching s9mm and finn 1v1

Finn's movement is fucking nutty even on NA ping

[last nimbus]

finn and proper is going to pop the fuck off

[willow tartan]

i had a dream that i got 100 dollars

and its not here anymore

im sad

[plush grail]

you need help

[hot onyx]

No he doesn’t, we’re all allowed to dream about happiness when we can’t escape the tyrannical dictatorship known as reality otherwise

[plush grail]

you also need help

for different reasons

[willow tartan]

[plush grail]

just change this channel into a shitposting channel at this point

[trail perch]

Ok but like spark shaping up to be nutty

Idk why they signed pinapple when shy exits

exists

but like alphayi is absolutely insane

[north relic]

Isn’t this like every year

[hot onyx]

To be fair their starting off tank didn’t play due to mental health and their starting flex support didn’t play due to being a deranged bigot

[trail perch]

Who somehow found a spot on another team

and now gets to play with striker

[balmy wolf]

Atlanta best team

[hot onyx]

Scatlanta downgraded and will be lucky to make top 5

[balmy wolf]

Haha

U guys literally

Told me the same thing

Last year

Some even said bottom five

Im always the last one laughing

[hot onyx]

That is true

But Atlanta had a good roster this year and downgraded in nearly every category

Pelican >> Nero
Venom >> Edison
Masaa > OJEE
Iris >>> UltraViolet

[last nimbus]

i havent seen much of na contenders

thought ultraviolet was a good support

[hot onyx]

Season 4 was obviously an upgrade to season 3 but this year they released their best player and the coach that brought 4 players who looked mid at best into being arguably top 5 in their respective roles

[forest raven]

Best fs in na

[last nimbus]

mm

[hot onyx]

Overrated

[last nimbus]

yeah iris is one of the best baps in the leagues arguably

[tropic herald]

Your support rankings are not real

[last nimbus]

but ojee x ultraviolet still looks like a really strong combination?

[hot onyx]

OJEE does funny boops in a weak region, NA Kellex

[forest raven]

Dominated NA for a year

[tropic herald]

Ok I am just not going to argue with you

[forest raven]

[last nimbus]

He has a point. remember when brittish hurricane dominated eu contenders and turned out to be shit in owl

but you cant know something like that is going to happen

some people turn out amazing in mid-tier teams

[tropic herald]

There’s a difference between picking up a whole team and just picking up the best part of the team

[hot onyx]

Friendly reminder that UV’s biggest competition in NA fs this year has been “Simple” from Uprising Academy

[tropic herald]

Friendly reminder that UV probably will dominate your favorite NA based team flex support

🤒

[hot onyx]

Friendly reminder that SMC was an inch away from turning Redbirds into ground mince

🤕

Also friendly reminder that my favourite (NA) teams are Fuel and Defiant so UV > Twilight and Fielder ig

[balmy wolf]

ur opinions are always so unbelievebly bad

[hot onyx]

You’re right, Edison is better than Venom

[balmy wolf]

[hot onyx]

I am literally complimenting former members of your team tf you want from me?

[forest raven]

Smartest Atlanta fan

[balmy wolf]

ur telling bs 👍

[hot onyx]

ok 👍

At least your team isn’t cursed

[next mesa]

What

The fuck

Ojee uv > masaa iris

[hot onyx]

Average American Tornado fan

[next mesa]

Friendly reminder that redbirds haven't scrimmed/play together for a long time up to that point

It's just facts

Lol

They literally went seperate ways after last tourney

I doubt they scrimmed even once

After they won last contenders

Because busy w tryouts

And somehow redbirds still won

Just by measure of being so much better

[hot onyx]

Friendly reminder that last contenders victory was like 3 weeks before Mayhem showdown

[next mesa]

Exactly

Long ass time

[hot onyx]

Simply NA Hurricane

[next mesa]

Imagine a pro team just not playing and scrimming as a unit for 3 weeks

[hot onyx]

And beating SMC within an inch of their life

[last nimbus]

holy shit

[hot onyx]

And losing to Uprising Academy in the first winner bracket

With star studded players such as Stellar QoQ Itsal and Simple

I can see Reiner being successful because he has the mechanics and Unter coaching

The rest are just heavy overrated

[vagrant cargo]

disagree

maybe im gonna be proven wrong but imo iris looked better in NA when NA was a better region talentwise and iris also looked super good last szn

last szn was the highest in terms of level of play

[cedar oasis]

Nah hold up

Theres less then 7 top tier na players

[tropic herald]

I will agree the UV may not be better than Iris but also saying there’s a massive diff between them is just wrong

[hot onyx]

NA Contenders players, NA region players or American/Canadian players?

[cedar oasis]

Na regional players

[plush grail]

onigod

[cedar oasis]

shut ur mouth

[plush grail]

paris roster when

[cedar oasis]

never

[plush grail]

i love u uvalo

[cedar oasis]

wich team stops trolling first with their roster paris or london

[plush grail]

i mean paris has glister, kaan, naga

that's mid tier

with a good meta top tier

but then again

[tropic herald]

Hadi diff

[plush grail]

you could say that for every dps duo

so thats not relevant

[tropic herald]

Hadi gonna pound

[plush grail]

hadi is gonna have to fistfight poko for playtime lmao

[cedar oasis]

you dont play over poko

its just a fact

[plush grail]

nyxl

[next mesa]

With how stack DPS is

[tawdry hamlet]

Hehe

Finnsi Paris

[hot onyx]

Pelican counts then

[cedar oasis]

barley

[hot onyx]

There’s definitely more than 7 good NA players then

[tawdry hamlet]

Barley is a plant

[noble nexus]

barley is a cool plant

[hot onyx]

Sp9rk1e Pelican Kai Fearless Hanbin Fielder Chiyo Iris Shu Skewed FunnyAstro Heesu Hotba MuZe Twilight Chorong Finn Proper Viol2t Hawk Space Kaan Naga sHockWave Aspire Striker Happy Decay Danteh Piggy Masaa and Moth

You’re saying only 7 of these players are good players?

[noble nexus]

nah that guy is just dumb

[hot onyx]

Saying there’s only 7 good American/Canadian players is realistic

[noble nexus]

it's like me saying APAC only has 7 good players and that being the starting shanghai roster + Leave

[hot onyx]

Space Hawk Moth Danteh Crimzo Aspire and Blasè and maybe Reiner with solid coaching staff

Which he has got with Unter

[tawdry hamlet]

Not to mention hydron ultraviolet and ojee and speedily and sugarfree smh

Kind of wild sugarfree is still top tier while retired and playing a different game completely lmao

If sugarfree was born two years earlier he'd be a Kevster right now no doubt

[next mesa]

I think uv better ana slightly better zen, worse bap but then ojee is better than masaa at mercy and brig

Naga glister lowkey bottom 5 DPS line

Jesus curist

My discord

Crash

[vagrant cargo]

naga glister is in no World bottom 5

[next mesa]

Next season

Look how they compare

[last nimbus]

so many talented dps

naga and glister are really good but more like middle of the pack

not top tier

[merry tinsel]

I paris just needs that little boost to be top tier

[vagrant cargo]

aspire shockwave,shax backbone spark, happy assassin (i think decay dips), valentine striker, whoever tf valiant picks and Florida fosho

[next mesa]

I don't even think they're middle anymore I think

Hmm

[vagrant cargo]

i also think most dps matchups are heavily influenced by teams performance

+glister and naga are both top 10 respectively

[next mesa]

U take glister naga over aspire shockwave

[vagrant cargo]

yeah

on any hero too

[next mesa]

Actually

[hot onyx]

Hydron overrated

[vagrant cargo]

AT in general overrated

[next mesa]

Who's titan signing

For fdps

[vagrant cargo]

Super is the only top tier NA talent in OWL rn

[hot onyx]

Yes but Hydron in particular is the most overrated

[vagrant cargo]

might cjange coming szn

but i cant think of a NA player that was top tier last season

[sullen berry]

Hydron overrated - S9mm underrated - low and behold, blase ashe activated

[hot onyx]

Unironically Gator > Super

[vagrant cargo]

i mean

Super has higher peaks

and is better on the heros they share imo

[tropic herald]

[digital cloud]

Kevster was pretty top tier

[vagrant cargo]

Super orisa is quite good

kevster is swedish

[sullen berry]

on three different teams, I'd be surprised if blase is picked up next year

[vagrant cargo]

He is not american

[digital cloud]

Fuck I always forget that

Yeah, no good na players then

[hot onyx]

To be fair Super had a better team that made him look good

[tropic herald]

I think Gator and Super get shat on more than they deserve but till Super greater

[digital cloud]

Maybe hawk came closest

If he is na

[sullen berry]

NA dps better show up, because they've been overshadowed for a while since season 1

[hot onyx]

His orisa is overrated by his fanboys and underrated by his shitters

[tropic herald]

S nine milimeters gonna show up

[digital cloud]

Na everything been overshadowed forever

[hot onyx]

It’s serviceable but barely B tier

[sullen berry]

s9mm supremacy

[digital cloud]

None of the na contenders that got picked up look comparable to the Koreans

Imo

[sullen berry]

Super S9mm and the Blasters

[tropic herald]

I think this year is the redemption of na

[digital cloud]

Sure it is

[hot onyx]

Nope they’ll flop like S3 EU

[sullen berry]

a rebuild that works on paper

unlike NYXL's scuffed attempt

[tropic herald]

Atlanta S5 to the moon 🚀🚀

[sullen berry]

They were robbed of Kalios and Yakpung playing together

[digital cloud]

Losing pelican doomed them

Should have picked up piggy rather than lose pelican

[hot onyx]

Pelican and a downgrade in support

[digital cloud]

Was masaaa better last year?

I was under the impression they mostly did ok due to iris

[hot onyx]

Masaa made one of the most drastic improvements in the league last year

[tropic herald]

Massa looked better last season than ever but I still think Ojee >

[digital cloud]

Since the season before Masaa was falling off

[hot onyx]

Ojee funny boops against a weak region

NA Kellex

With slightly more mechanical skill

[tropic herald]

Dawg ur team signed unique 😭

[digital cloud]

And then there is that one team that lost closer and signed opener lol

Which may also be the team that signed unique idk

[tropic herald]

Washington is cursed franchise idk

[digital cloud]

But that sounds like some sort of crazy joke setup right here

[hot onyx]

Ah yes my favourite team the Guangzhou Charge https://twitter.com/GZCharge/status/1455006683567063041

Guangzhou Charge (@GZCharge)

He is one of a kind. He is like no other. He is Unique.

[tropic herald]

Who did Philly sign

[hot onyx]

No one yet

[tropic herald]

Oh

[digital cloud]

Philly signed people?

[tropic herald]

Well

[hot onyx]

Fusion has Carpe MN3 Zest and

[digital cloud]

I thought the whole point was they did nothing and philly fans are sad

[sullen berry]

sadge

[tropic herald]

Philly dropped all their non Koreans

[digital cloud]

Good

[next mesa]

Hydron isn't overrated

[sullen berry]

how do you even come into Philly's flex support role without being approached by wierdos on Twitter

[digital cloud]

Now they can get better players

[hot onyx]

Mano retired for military Rascal Tobi retired to coach and they just want to upgrade Hotba to Clestyn

[hot onyx]

Deactivate twitter

[sullen berry]

A team in NA wanting flexibility and EQO is not on their priority list

[tropic herald]

Good

[hot onyx]

Well y’see EQO can comm in korean

[sullen berry]

nero uninstalls Twitter impossible challenge

[hot onyx]

And Fusion specified a requirement for tryouts to be fluent in korean

[sullen berry]

EQO can flex onto Brig

but he can totally deliver on bap and zen

[hot onyx]

So the EQO goodbye post is the third psychout and Fusion resigned him for year 5 and will reveal it in the next hype video

[digital cloud]

Eqo is eternal

[sullen berry]

EQO: checks phone
@hot onyx would like to know your location

if his visa expires before start of next season, I don't see how they could do a psyche out but it'd be funny to reannounce him one more time

[hot onyx]

Still not impossible

[sullen berry]

not out of the question, no

[hot onyx]

Teams have announced departures and gone back on it before

Bianca on NYXL

Hadi on London

[sullen berry]

Fissure returning from Retirement haha

and actually winds up retiring

Open invite from Guangzhou if he wants to wreck the overwatch league together with Eileen

[hot onyx]

Fissure should just come back from retirement to take back his record for most teams played in owl

[sullen berry]

the current owners of that title are still trying to crack a championship though

[hot onyx]

Rascal cracked two championships

wym

[sullen berry]

Tobi was good during Apex

surely there's one more player other than decay on more than 4 teams

Decay is still on Justice... maybe he moves teams midseason

[hot onyx]

Decay and Void on Glads is like a fever dream

[worn falcon]

Miro > Rascal > Tobi

[next mesa]

There's way better options than eqo

[hot onyx]

EQO is a solid choice even as a second dps

Put him on Glads to round them out

EQO only looked bad last season because he was forced to play sombra most of the time and even then performed better than expected

[next mesa]

really?

He performed as well as i expected

non sombra player plays sombra

was bad

[rare magnet]

is there an account of halo owl leaks without all the other nonsense he tweets

[willow tartan]

the liquipedia rumours page

[hot onyx]

He was good mechanically he just had moments where he got caught out

[earnest leaf]

I wonder why viol2t has had no announcement yea

everyone knows he re-signed

shock has had him in social stuff

just no "oh yea he's staying"

[hot onyx]

It’d be funny if they put Viol2t in the “welcome the O2 Blast chumps to the squad” post only to announce his departure a month later

[north relic]

one time i want nyxl to be trolling

blizzard starts putting ow1 on mobile before ow2 comes out

[hot onyx]

So

[frosty shell]

i mean its like making the switch version lol

its going to be just as bad

[north relic]

switch at least had buttons

[hot onyx]

Blizzard is working on porting a competitive fps title to the most casual gaming “platform” possible

Instead of

1:

Working on developing Overwatch 2

Or 2:

[frosty shell]

its easier to port a already developed game lol

[hot onyx]

Adding new content to Overwatch 1

[north relic]

they have jspec copium

[hot onyx]

Then why didn’t they do it 4 years ago?

[tiny pollen]

blizz should sell ow2 to korean gov

[ornate bough]

why do they need to work on developing ow2 its the same game just copy over the script

[frosty shell]

we already know the only content we will get is skins for the nexet year

they cant add heroes or maps at this point

[north relic]

ah yes lets just make the entire story mode junkenstein revenge

[ornate bough]

yes

[frosty shell]

i dont think it requires a ton of effort to port owl to mobile tbh

ow1

[north relic]

yes but why

[hot onyx]

Still requires effort

[north relic]

is ow1 just gonna be a 20$ game on mobile

[frosty shell]

because mobile gaming is the most popular

[hot onyx]

Sadly if it was as simple as copy paste it would’ve been done long ago

Sadly if it was as simple as copy paste it would’ve been done long ago

[north relic]

mobile gamers are too poor to afford a pc no way they are buying a 20$ game

[frosty shell]

yes but its not like they are making it from scratch lol

[hot onyx]

Angry Bird and Candy Crush don’t count

[leaden bluff]

nah

[frosty shell]

its going to be 10$ lol

they do count are you ok

[leaden bluff]

wait

i miss read

[frosty shell]

mobile gaming makes more money then any other platform

[hot onyx]

Micro transactions

[frosty shell]

it counts

thats still money from the game

[north relic]

overwatch micro transactions 💀

istg overwatch mobile just gives you ads during a 10 min dps queue

[frosty shell]

its probably not free

its probably like 10$

[hot onyx]

People who spend $100+ on Clash of Clans gems aren’t gonna be interested in Overwatch on mobile unless they already have it on pc ps xbox or switch

[frosty shell]

cod mobile

pubg and all those clown games

[north relic]

clash royale recently got popular again apparently

[frosty shell]

lol

ow mobile has a chance to get revenue for blizzard

[hot onyx]

Oh boy Ninja is at it again

[hot onyx]

Oh boy Ninja is at it again

[north relic]

how to get FREE overwatch credits for witch mercy

[north relic]

what did he do

[hot onyx]

your mum

[frosty shell]

and pretty sure blizzard is making no money lol atm

[north relic]

yk what would make lots of money

[hot onyx]

I just don’t see it appealing to the hardcore playerbase with actual consoles to play ow on or the casual playerbase who doesn’t like spending more than $5 on a game on the App Store only to spend over $100 worth of microtransactions

[north relic]

a new game$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[frosty shell]

they want money lol

[hot onyx]

Good take from the NYXL fan

[frosty shell]

mobile is not really for hardcore gamers to begin with

[hot onyx]

Exactly

[novel owl]

mobile ow

[hot onyx]

And I don’t see a game like ow appealing to the extremely casual playerbase on mobile

[novel owl]

lmao imagine if it supports crossplay with pc

[tiny pollen]

ow gacha game would be fire

[novel owl]

oh god no

no gacha

[tiny pollen]

spend 50$ for winston titty skin

[hot onyx]

It might’ve got some hits on Wii

Motion controlled aim with horrible online compatibility what’s not to love?

[novel owl]

overwatch but VR

looking forward for genji mains in vr

i'll probably vomit

[north relic]

Tracer would be worse

[hot onyx]

That’d be fun but what about when rein charges or hamster is in ball formation or when brig is shielding

[novel owl]

Yeah nothings happening so no one has anything to talk about

Happened last season too

[hot onyx]

We have speculation

For example

Sado back to Fusion babyyyyy

Or Onigod Moth to Outlaws

[noble nexus]

Decay back to Dallas

[hot onyx]

Or perhaps Innovation to Defiant

[noble nexus]

Or decay to Dallas

[hot onyx]

Dallas already confirmed that their roster is 100% complete

[noble nexus]

Nope

Decay to Dallas is happening

Trust

My third eye is opening

[hot onyx]

That’s just copium to cope with Dallas signing shit like Edison and Guriyo

GC Busan nepotism happens

[noble nexus]

Nah I just want him to hold their scrims hostage again so glads can roll them

[hot onyx]

Sp9rk1e Doha is going to be the primary starting lineup unless it’s a hard hitscan or tracer-echo meta

[noble nexus]

Nah Edison benches sp9rk1e for fdps metas

Easily

Best player ever

[hot onyx]

If y’all didn’t have the best main support in the league I’d disagree

Don’t try to argue with me

I’m not going to because I agree

Mostly because FeedJaeGon is overrated by the masses for being on the best team but I still agree

[noble nexus]

LJG is just Viol2t but main support

[hot onyx]

Exactly: bad

[noble nexus]

He’s definitely the best on his role but if his partner wasn’t good enough to pick up his slack when he feeds he’d look dogshit

[next mesa]

thats just so wrong

ljg managed his aggression so much better this season

[noble nexus]

Don’t try to argue with me

oh yeah

OOPS

[hot onyx]

Man legit frontline lucio‘d in May Melee finals

Guess he just needs better coaching

[noble nexus]

Yeah he’s garbage lol

Should have dpei go to shd or something and moon to glads

That’d be a downgrade for glads

But maybe dpei could teach ljg how to play the game or something

[hot onyx]

It’s a possibility

Do you think Shanghai will sign a fourth dps?

[next mesa]

probably

maybe they'll wait until mid season

[willow tartan]

watch em sign like seawave

and then never field him

[tacit skiff]

sign Chex

[earnest leaf]

they'll wait till mid season to sign diem

[tacit skiff]

I think you mean Chex

[storm dirge]

overwatch mobile is just going to be symm torb pharmercy rein

moira

[frosty shell]

thats ok with me i wont be playing it

[fallen turret]

Winston brig

[tawdry hamlet]

Tbh a diem shanghai reunion sounds like his most likely spot if it isn't a random charge or like Toronto pickup

[willow tartan]

pray so.

[tiny pollen]

I don't think anyone would want to go to Shanghai

Just Perma bench

[somber latch]

i mean you do get a paycheck without needing to do really anything

at least i think thats how it works

[balmy wolf]

spark is the only team

where literally noone cares

about the signings

[tacit skiff]

Spark is the only team that's hasn't really done anything to note, apart from Valiant

the off season hella slowed down

[noble nexus]

Spark have hit the el classico and signed a really good dps line and signed an entirely new coach lineup

[last nimbus]

will shock sign any more players or are they just going to stick with 6 and hope it works

if i were them id sign at least another ms/ot

[earnest leaf]

they'll probably sign one more of something

imo they should just grab a MS and go

[noble nexus]

Re-sign moth atleast

See how ow2 goes and see if they need an ot

Like Seoul

[earnest leaf]

idk why anyone thinks moth is coming back

He literally left

[noble nexus]

Hope

😭😭

[earnest leaf]

on his own reasonings

why would he crawl back

[noble nexus]

I never said it was reasonable

[earnest leaf]

he's gonna get hard benched

unless one of mercy/lucio is perma meta

[noble nexus]

It’s so sad he doesn’t have a top tier brig

He’d be such a good pickup if he had a brig

But like all the good FS players have a better brig than him

[hot onyx]

Spark thankfully released all their supports and idk much about the BLG support line

[next mesa]

Kodomo isn't even bad

U guys would be good

[hot onyx]

Honestly would prefer Alex from Falcons over Kodomo

[trail perch]

Ur dumb

China is years ahead of EU

The players aren’t even comparable

[next mesa]

Yea

Kodomo benched lige on some maps

[hot onyx]

Rapel benched Fielder on some maps

Doesn’t make him a good player

[trail perch]

rapel isnt bad

lmao

[last nimbus]

just give shock someone like jecse

and they prob golden

[hot onyx]

ok lmao https://youtu.be/0aAqO0F9I88

[last nimbus]

Paris played good in that match

• rapel isnt on the same level as the rest of dallas

[hot onyx]

He’s never on the same level as any team he plays on

S2 Titans and S4 Fuel were miles ahead of him and he wasn’t even a top 3 player on S3 Outlaws

[trail perch]

He didnt play a bad moira on titans

I think he was pretty good

and he was solid on outlaws

and solid during stage 1 for fuel

He isnt fuel level

but fuel was a top 3 team so...

[hot onyx]

Pretty hard to play a bad moira

[trail perch]

eh some ppl managed to do it

Rapel only played moira for titans

So thats the only time we saw him

[hot onyx]

And he was the immediate problem on Dallas whenever he was fielded over Fielder or even Jecse

[trail perch]

and he definetly wasnt bad at all

He was fielded over jecse and fielder played brig and lucio sometimes

[hot onyx]

Go back and watch his vods

[trail perch]

and he did actually quite well when that happened

[hot onyx]

Particularly vs Paris CC and Justice MM

[plush grail]

asked

[cedar oasis]

I just thought has Toronto ever been good

[noble nexus]

Toronto has only made actual decent pickups for the last two seasons

And they hard rebuild every season

It’s a wonder they’ve never been good till now

[cedar oasis]

Yea but I think every team has been good at one point in time

Except Toronto

[plush grail]

has titans ever been good

[north relic]

Outlaws

Ig s1

[fallen turret]

Spark

[north relic]

I forgot were spark good s2

[cedar oasis]

yesnt

[next mesa]

Top 4 finish I think

[tropic herald]

Yeah

[hot onyx]

Fun fact: Outlaws Justice and Defiant are the only 3 teams to never play a finals match

[flat ingot]

Charge?

Yeah lol

[noble nexus]

yeah that one literally just says his name

[hot onyx]

False

[last nimbus]

True!

[hot onyx]

They are actually going to sign off tank Violetta from SLG in kr Contenders

[last nimbus]

is he good

[hot onyx]

SLG is one of the lowest ranking teams in kr contenders so probably not lmao

[last nimbus]

prob wasted already all of their budget on their dps and supp line

[hot onyx]

Decal on that team is pretty decent but the rest go completely under the radar talent wise

[last nimbus]

i kinda understand though

a strong dps line is so important in ow2

but as all roles tanks are necessary too

[hot onyx]

Right now yes

[tacit skiff]

I just learned that Coach Lori made the 2021 Boston roster work and practice till like 4am

hopping off the Coach Lori train

[jagged viper]

wtf

[tiny pollen]

Tf

[earnest leaf]

that itself means nothing

first gonna have to see if that has any base

or if it's just a random rumor from some discord

Also they could have started practice later

Also they wouldn't get any valuable scrims at that time

[next mesa]

honestly sometimes more practice doesnt always mean better

leave is just chilling in his free time

he doesn't play 24/7

s1 dragons were scrimming 24/7 apparently

look what happened

[tiny pollen]

^

[north relic]

they made history

[wide minnow]

Practicing alot make u go mad and u may lose focus

[tacit skiff]

it came from Myunbong

during a stream during the May Melee

[wide minnow]

Guys do overwatch pro players practice everyday?

[tacit skiff]

I'd blame that amount of practice on why Boston performed so awfully in the May Melee, they must've stopped during the June Joust and Summer Showdown in order for Boston to do better

Have no idea what happened during the Countdown Cup tho

[wide minnow]

Hmmm

@tacit skiff what u think about Atlanta

[tacit skiff]

gator sucks ass

rein one trick omegalul

[wide minnow]

It was funny but he's legend

Idk man he threw but i still like him

Hanzo got diffed too

Shangai is too strong I feel .

[gusty rampart]

Gator is quite ass

Unironically super is 100% better

[north relic]

you guys are on shit if you think gator is bad

[tacit skiff]

super is better than gator, and more flexible too

didn't think it was possible for someone to be less flexible than super

[north relic]

"super is good for ow2 since he can play every hero"
"didn't think it was possible for someone to be less flexible than super"
can you guys pick one

[wide minnow]

Dink don't talk about legend like that

Super is ok but gator is just different

He's amazing

[gusty rampart]

I disagree

[wide minnow]

No option to disagree man

[north relic]

you can say super is better but gator is still really good

[earnest leaf]

Gator is solid

[wide minnow]

So true

[next mesa]

yes

[wide minnow]

How many hrs ?

[next mesa]

also super is better than gator

[north relic]

i would say 8

[next mesa]

probably 6-10 hours

[noble nexus]

this Suraj guy sucks off dafran still it automatically invalidates him to me

[north relic]

wait he does?

[noble nexus]

or he was a few months ago anyways idk I stopped paying attention here

[wide minnow]

U hater dafran legend

[noble nexus]

point proven

[wide minnow]

Idk why u guys hate dafran man

[next mesa]

he had several chances to redemption but just always disappoint with some dumbass comment every single time

[gusty rampart]

Dafran has said some pretty fucked shit

Idk about his performance

Didn't watch OWL when he was in it

[next mesa]

he was a pretty decent player

[north relic]

all i know about his owl career is torb and zarya parkour

[noble nexus]

because that's all he did

[tawdry hamlet]

Because he is the same as any other all aim player from S1 and combines that with a dog shit personality lolll

[noble nexus]

so true bestie 💅

talk yo shit

[gusty rampart]

Isn't his whole personality that he lives on a farm atm

[tacit skiff]

all the good aim players went to Valorant, good riddance

[gusty rampart]

Ans is back tho

[tawdry hamlet]

Dafran reminds me of Logix, aim carry at first, then just the same as everyone else

[tacit skiff]

ans vapes -100 social credit score

[gusty rampart]

True

I wish he didn't

[wide minnow]

Dafran genji is pretty good

[noble nexus]

ans is hot

[tawdry hamlet]

Funny how aim becoming less important caused a fall off of a lot of western players tbh

[next mesa]

huh?

[tawdry hamlet]

Non apac players I mean

[north relic]

apparently logix has some of the highest scoped crit accuracy out of all widows

[tawdry hamlet]

Yes

S1

[next mesa]

people that left are rawkus corey babybay

[tawdry hamlet]

All aim centric players hehe

[next mesa]

good aim players obviously but not all

its like

3 western

that werent gonna make an impact

[tacit skiff]

wasn't Sinatraa also a DPS player before goats took over the meta

[tawdry hamlet]

Surprised Chex hasn't tried valorant it seems like something he'd be with

[tacit skiff]

overwatch is addictive that's why

he still likes the game

[tawdry hamlet]

So tragic he can hit number one on ladder all day but can't even keep up with the bottom of owl dps

[tacit skiff]

you don't throw out an LFT post because you wanna move to Valorant

true

[tawdry hamlet]

He grinds so much but he never improves and I feel bad for him lmao

[tacit skiff]

No more NZ players

[tawdry hamlet]

Well I'm sure he improves it's just like, not good enough idk

Not sure why him or Logix went lft, the best they're gonna get is a contenders spot

[tacit skiff]

Colourhex improves but not at the same rate as others

[willow tartan]

they like ow

?

[tacit skiff]

He definitely improved after last season, but it's still not enough

[willow tartan]

maybe they hope that ow2 can revitalise their careers because the league gets lowered skill ceiling

like what if a new hero releases and it just clicks for chex

[tawdry hamlet]

Lowered skill ceiling means return of s1 yay

[tacit skiff]

well even if that's the case, all the signed owl players will be able to play ow2 before fa and contenders

[tawdry hamlet]

S1 when sleepy and dhak became violet moth lmao

[tacit skiff]

Colourhex is gonna fall behind again

[tawdry hamlet]

Fat upgrade

[willow tartan]

maybe they are just lft so they can try ow2 early

large braind move

[tacit skiff]

they won't even get picked up

not even the bottom tier teams want them

[tawdry hamlet]

Regardless I hope the best for them

But there's a lot of kiddos in na who properly beat them all day now

[tacit skiff]

I'd say just run into Contenders and hope for the best

[tawdry hamlet]

Tbh imma be real, I don't think Logix or Chex could win any contenders region

[willow tartan]

south american contenders

[tawdry hamlet]

Unless they slotted right into an already top team I don't think it'd go well

[tacit skiff]

they probably wouldn't but they could at least show some signs of life

[tiny pollen]

they should go colliegete

[tawdry hamlet]

Like nicogdh on disaster hehe

That team got bodied so hard by funi in open division half of them retired

Actually tragic

[willow tartan]

avast said that moth was still LFT

teams just hate players

[tacit skiff]

moth to Vancouver

[wide minnow]

I like dafran man , best duo i used to watch dafran and kabaji idk what's ur problem

[wide minnow]

I don't think I should care lol

you went "so a chinese MS is being signed to OWL. it can't be (insert every team other than LAV, HZS, and CHD) cause they don't sign chinese players.
it can't be LAV cause obvious reasons
it likely isn't CHD cause they have Yveltal and Nisha
