sullen berry
#

Ah okay,just me being late to everything today

Imagine waking up and instead of watching opening day games you have to go to work on Friday/Monday

#

4 day OWL weeks returning is so good tho

Imho

#

Titans 3-0

next mesa
#

i say 3-1

#

but tracer isnt that strong

#

so probably 3-0

lost thicket
#

Naga diffed him

#

but Ml7 kills Naga and them mercy revs

#

also new zen seems ot be good

#

zen in a kinda rush but he's meant to be the main dps

#

just fucking rush them and kick them in the face

twilit oriole
twin bloom
#

Personally speaking

#

Why leak 2 year old dms cause he shat talk the florida mayhem

#

Very strange

#

Imo

sullen berry
cunning patrol
#

I think it is funny she just has been looking for an excuse to post those

#

So she can become relevant

#

Lol

next mesa
#

that dillain guy's reply was a little aggressive

#

but

#

posting that is just

#

so weird

#

lol

sullen berry
#

Cins trying to be savage by going around to show your RNG paid off

twin bloom
#

Lol

#

Fla shit talked first

#

And they said the same thing

#

Lmfao

sullen berry
#

WeirdChamp of I've ever seen one since Jezi Belle posted a reply to Rawkus coaching sentinels again

#

Then deleting her tweet when sentinels replied

next mesa
#

i didnt have audio

#

thats warranted

#

this girl's just weird

sullen berry
#

Mayhem SMM is such good bait though

#

Crazy how I still find it and she goes and blocks anyone who follows ow

#

Like OK, can't chill with the nicer people in the community either

worn falcon
#

I don't get the tweet

willow tartan
#

true test of mental fortitude and training

#

as well as i guess coaching to see who planned the best for that week

thorn moat
#

i got 0 tokens from watching the stream?

#

does anyone have an idea whats wrong?

earnest leaf
#

Tokens will generally take up to a week to apply to your account

#

If I'm remembering right from last year at least

static pond
#

Opinions on paria and nyxl?

wild cape
#

paria my favorite

earnest leaf
#

felt like yaki and glister trying to deadlift their teams to me

wild cape
#

can’t lie to you

static pond
#

I fell asleep at the second shock match lol

#

Yaki on echo?

wild cape
#

I did not like glister today

#

yaki was popping off but I really didn’t feel like glister was doing much

thorn moat
wild cape
#

whatever the only real match that matters is tomorrow anyways

earnest leaf
#

Glister didn't look like he was doing as much since naga was getting gapped to the moon

static pond
#

Glister pov in insane ngl

wild cape
#

didn’t really see him do a lot on soldier tho

static pond
#

He applys a lot of pressure

wild cape
#

I didn’t like Paris running soldier it felt weird

static pond
#

I didn't like nyxl forcing echo

wild cape
#

I liked it

thorn moat
#

why do people still do the commands

wild cape
#

I thought they did really well

thorn moat
#

if they banned the commands yesterday

static pond
#

Did yaki forgot tracer exist?

wild cape
#

I liked him more on echo today

#

I also really liked seeing zarya

thorn moat
#

he was slapping on echo

#

sad that reaper didnt do that well :(

wild cape
#

yeah reaper looked like ass today

#

except on illios

#

at least the first point

thorn moat
#

and first match first round

#

he was dominant on both sides

wild cape
#

I don’t like seeing genji tbh

thorn moat
#

me neitehr

wild cape
#

he’s either the coolest hero to watch or the most boring

#

in this case definitely boring

static pond
#

Can yaki play genji?

thorn moat
#

he doesnt have the same vibes anymore

earnest leaf
#

I think he's fine in this meta to watch since it's more focused on his neutral play rather than perma ult botting

wild cape
#

yeah

earnest leaf
#

and yea yaki can play genji well

static pond
#

Ngl I was kinda surprised my nyxl

mortal cipher
#

same

static pond
#

I was expecting a steam roll lol

#

But they held there own

mortal cipher
#

same

thorn moat
#

everyone expected gladiators to win

mortal cipher
#

the teams we expected a sweep didnt and the team we didnt expect a sweep did

wild cape
#

very much so expecting mayhem to get sweptn

#

glad they got 1

mortal cipher
#

Yeah

wild cape
#

only have 5 points atm so that’s sad

mortal cipher
#

Looked like Atlanta was shaky but that was only the first map and partly eichemwalde

wild cape
#

I didn’t watch that match unfortunately

mortal cipher
#

I Have 6 because I got the winners right not the score

wild cape
#

even tho it was my most anticipated of the day since I’m a mayhem fan

mortal cipher
#

Yeah

#

Nero got the first 5K of the season

wild cape
#

damn I missed out

mortal cipher
#

Someone decided to go hog

wild cape
#

I saw that lol

mortal cipher
#

Yeah lol

wild cape
#

I can guess that didn’t end well

mortal cipher
#

The got steam rolled

wild cape
#

figures

mortal cipher
#

Yeah don’t play the worst tank especially against one of the top teams in the league

wild cape
#

imo ATL is probably 4th for me

thorn moat
#

the stream isnt even on yet and people are already spamming !drops

mortal cipher
#

Still top team

wild cape
#

In NA*

wild cape
mortal cipher
static pond
#

They should just ban the word drops lmao

wild cape
#

I don’t remember

#

I think like they were expected to be like upper mid

mortal cipher
#

It’s kinda funny how they won nothing and managed to get 2nd

#

I think they were expected to be gatekeepers last year

static pond
#

ATL?

mortal cipher
#

Yeah

thorn moat
wild cape
#

I was very disappointed to see Atlanta beat Dallas in the losers finals

#

becuase I knew they’d get washed against Shanghai

#

and wouldn’t you know it they did

mortal cipher
static pond
#

That sounds like Philly and outlaws cursed

wild cape
#

dallas had a chance

#

they’d lose but like

mortal cipher
#

Dallas lost 3-1

wild cape
#

it’d be somewhat entertaining to watch

wild cape
thorn moat
#

does any team have a very very good reaper?

mortal cipher
static pond
wild cape
#

please not echo reaper again dear god

mortal cipher
#

Any team that went against them would be rolled over

wild cape
#

I will scream and cry if I have to see that godforsaken June joust comp again

#

most boring tournament since goats

mortal cipher
#

Tbf the middle two matches especially kings row and Hanamura Atlanta looked good

#

It was a bit back and forth

wild cape
#

Dallas actually knew what they were up against tho lol

mortal cipher
#

Because they’ve played Shanghai in a finals match

wild cape
#

they’ve played Shanghai a lot

mortal cipher
#

Atlanta only played losers Shanghai

wild cape
#

anyways I gotta do work adios

static pond
#

Ye but dragons was imo probably the perfect team last season

wild cape
#

not perfect

#

but very very very good

mortal cipher
#

I still think it’s impressive that Atlanta managed to get second

static pond
#

We barely seen anything that synergy and communication among a team

#

They all worked so well together

mortal cipher
#

They only lost two maps throughout the grand finals

static pond
#

Ye

mortal cipher
#

And Hanamura against shock

#

Yikes

static pond
#

That was a message to the shock fans lmao

#

And crusty

mortal cipher
#

Yeah that it wasn’t some salty run back

static pond
#

It was personal since apparently crusty is moon student

mortal cipher
#

But I did laugh at the people said it was a fluke or shock would’ve made it competitive against Shanghai like they did g just get swept

earnest leaf
#

tbf 2/3 of the maps were pretty close

#

Hanamura was the only true roll

static pond
#

Fleta rein diff super was funny af

earnest leaf
#

Was decently close

#

shock was one or two kills off capping that fight

next mesa
#

it didnt feel very close

static pond
#

Oh right forgot about because fleta died in the beginning I think when he tried to go for violet

mortal cipher
#

Fleta mtd

earnest leaf
mortal cipher
#

It was interesting how the Choi 6K basically did nothing

earnest leaf
#

People acted like shock were spawncamped for every map, when they pushed SHD 2/3 of the maps

static pond
#

If choi didn't get that 6k shock would have be done right there imo

tawdry hamlet
#

At the end of s4 imo there's not a single team in the league that could do any better than 1-3 vs Shanghai max

tawdry hamlet
#

I think even if they mirrored atlantas comp they still won grand finals tbh, diff was just way too big

willow tartan
#

I mean what if the meta was the dallas zombie comp except ball for some reason was disabled from the hero pool/nerfed to shit?

earnest leaf
#

nah if they hard mirrored atl all series long they lose 4-2 imo

willow tartan
#

Supports gap ATL, dps gap not big, gator > fate but void > hawk

static pond
#

Remember that Seoul game

earnest leaf
#

Iris bapt is better than izayakis

static pond
#

??

earnest leaf
#

And imo in the sym/mei mirror, atl dps are better

#

all shd would have in the rush mirror would be ljg/void being better than their counterparts

static pond
#

Iris played bap like 80% lol

willow tartan
#

fleta is a very good mei

#

and LIP has aimbot

earnest leaf
#

Not better than pelican's

willow tartan
#

yeah but not significantly worse where it's a game changer lol

#

Gap between LJG Void and Hawk Masaa are more sizeable

tawdry hamlet
#

Kevster vs Fleta vs Pelican vs Leave everyone else is a full tier below e_sus

earnest leaf
#

Not enough in that mirror to sway it in favor of shd

#

Hawk's dva was no slouch at that point either

willow tartan
#

Leave played mei???

#

I do not remember this

wide minnow
#

Such a easy match bro mayhem got rolled

static pond
#

I think fleta is definitely better then pelican

willow tartan
#

I know Mr. Ster played mei like at the start of the season

earnest leaf
#

On mei no fleta isn't better

wide minnow
#

Poor Mayhem fans are sad

static pond
#

Fleta been playing for a long time keeping up with new talent

willow tartan
#

I mean fleta didn't play that much mei in 2021

earnest leaf
#

Pelican at the time also was way more practiced in rush with mei, and atl as a whole

static pond
#

That a hard job

tawdry hamlet
#

Start of the season when a dogshit comp carried bad teams hehe

willow tartan
#

yeah

wide minnow
#

Atlanta ezy win

willow tartan
#

thats the biggest thing on dragons

earnest leaf
#

Pelican also probably diffs fleta on multiple heroes

willow tartan
#

atlanta played rush a lot more than dragons that year

#

but presuming that dragons scrimmed and practiced the rush comp coming into the playoffs

#

i think they'd still win

earnest leaf
#

nah

twin bloom
#

ATL would beat SHD in brawl last season shd had no team to practice brawl vs

static pond
#

Like profit been playing since season 1 he still able to hold his.owm against new talent

earnest leaf
#

still be a 4-2 for atl

tawdry hamlet
#

I've had 75 percent of this 750ml bottle of fireball WICK3D

earnest leaf
#

Shd had no reasonable means to practice rush even if they did that season

willow tartan
#

what is Fire ball?

tawdry hamlet
#

Wait guys remember when chengdu mirrored rein out of nowhere and threw

earnest leaf
#

They would have had to play rush into dive comps in scrims

tawdry hamlet
willow tartan
#

Wait remember when dallas mirrored rein out of nowhere and threw?

tawdry hamlet
#

Why do Philly fans have so much hopium

#

They got objectively worse in most places besides mn3

earnest leaf
#

Because they think mn3 is going to replicate ans s3 or some shit

static pond
#

I think outlaws fans are worse lol

willow tartan
#

you are forgetting

#

they have god player carpe

#

(best player in owl)

tawdry hamlet
#

Outlaws Justice Philly fans all have some unearned amount of hopium for some reason

#

Idk why lmao

willow tartan
#

he is better widowmaker than saya

tawdry hamlet
#

They're all mid teams with one or two stars

earnest leaf
#

Toronto fans also have a lot of hopium

#

and from what we saw today the biggest difference makers were dps/ana

#

and their dps are going to get gapped by any top team

willow tartan
#

Hawk did a lot of work on the Fist

earnest leaf
#

they have to hope twilight diff is enough

willow tartan
#

zero lie

mortal cipher
#

Toronto is the most painful team

tawdry hamlet
#

Just don't play sym around twilight

#

Hot take haksal is one of the most overrated owl players of all time

mortal cipher
#

His Genji was good

tawdry hamlet
#

Actually I think s3 nyxl is one of the most overrated lineups of all time. Everyone talks about imt failing a good roster but that roster had so many holes

static pond
#

He was a top tier genji lol

tawdry hamlet
#

Nah that roster was full of holes but a fan favorite dps lineup clouded everyone's memory

static pond
#

They ran the same coaches just playing musical chairs

willow tartan
#

how could they fail with so good dps

#

whoru haksal libero nenne

#

impossible failure

tawdry hamlet
#

Other dps were just better and Ms and ot sucked and Mt was overrated and flex support wasn't top tier anymore just above average tier

earnest leaf
#

People like to rate nostalgic players super highly even when they aren't as good as current competition

tawdry hamlet
#

This literally

#

Like pine literally was nowhere near owl level but soyface omg its pine !

tawdry hamlet
earnest leaf
#

Pine gets overrated because he has flashy mechanics

tawdry hamlet
#

People will rate a nostalgic player as B tier just for their name alone

#

I swear LETSFUCKINGGOOOO

#

Poko 😠

wide minnow
#

They should get ban for this

#

Jk
But Paris got destroyed

tawdry hamlet
#

Ryujehong was so overrated

#

So many early players who did the bare minimum got rated so good when in reality they just had aim before everyone else

#

Logix hehe

Logix wasn't bad s1

Deadlifted mayhem

Does watching the stream live get you ow league tokens still?

And we not even giving imt half the blame? Kekw

Well yea hotba ot

tropic herald

backfilled into speedily

trim shadow
#

Big hole

tropic herald
#

wtf man that guy

trim shadow
#

Mandu debateable

thorn moat
#

So opinions on pati?

tropic herald
#

i literally did ever ything i could to boop him out of a good blade and he still gets a kill !! and more after his blade is over

earnest leaf
#

pati seemed ok

#

wasn't throwing but not much else

thorn moat
#

Pati really improved to the end

tropic herald
#

pati kinda fed but got much better as the series went on

trim shadow
#

He took 2 maps to warm up

#

But pati has a future

thorn moat
#

I can see it too

simple moon
#

I upped my sensitivity and I’m 1000 better

thorn moat
#

Pati really gained hate during the first 2 maps

simple moon
#

Now I understand why the pros have it on 100

thorn moat
#

IMO he did fine

#

He made space for kevster

#

Them switching Astro away was a mistake tho

trim shadow
#

Strangely enough the map pati wasnt in they lost it

next mesa
#

but he has a worse team

#

unlucky

earnest leaf
#

mhmm

twin bloom
#

Pati was carried

#

Today

#

Also why

#

Wasn't kevster genji

#

Pati solider

tropic herald
#

probably what worked best in scrims idk

tawdry hamlet
#

Mn3>Carpe

#

Every major star dps > Carpe > the rest of the dps

#

I mean I would argue 3-0ers have NYXL rated a lot lower than their potential

shell onyx
#

Reiner tbh just owns in this meta

sullen berry
#

Still weird to see such a fully hollowed out shell of their former selves with this roster rated so low

shell onyx
#

and nyxl i think will get better with time

thorn moat
sullen berry
#

Yeah wait till Vulcan plays

shell onyx
#

He gives off frdwnr energy but hes actually like cracked

sullen berry
#

That will change the entire way the game is played

shell onyx
#

imma keep it 100 i only heard of vulcan after he got signed to nyxl

thorn moat
#

but kevster and reiner did carry alot the first 2 rounds

sullen berry
#

Vulcan comms the same way Kephrii put himself in Contenders without any way to communicate game plans with Water and co

#

That was great content, him studying his own VODs and how E survived without korean

shell onyx
#

ive played against a few contenders players on console but ive never really bothered to watch it

next mesa
#

hello bitches!

knotty depot
#

surprise how easy owl meta is, at least atm for NA
not sure I only watch the comp

#

so basically ana+lucio combo is strong, 1 main heal+1 buff
76 + whatever dps like genji

#

and tank is winston most of time to counter Ana

vagrant jacinth
balmy wolf
#

Reiner did indeed do his job in the beginning. I even started to believe that Monke is super strong in OW2 due to how he can actually dive so much safer now.

sullen berry
balmy wolf
#

He literally wasn't scared of diving constantly.

thorn moat
balmy wolf
#

Usually, if I dive as he does in OW1, I'd get focused on and die...

sullen berry
#

Wonder if any pros have found unconventional uses for rein charge cancel

balmy wolf
#

Maybe you can combo rein charge cancel into something else.

thorn moat
#

charge at enemy + shatter? lmaooo

#

that would be hilarious if someone would pull that off

balmy wolf
#

Does rein push the enemy away that he's charging after canceling charge or do they just both stand up close after the cancel?

thorn moat
#

they have a little knockback

balmy wolf
#

I call it Rein-Bowler

#

Charge in, shoot that enemy into the group of enemy then shatter

thorn moat
#

reiner for short :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

balmy wolf
#

Strike

thorn moat
#

also rein shatter is shaped like a cone

#

like bowling pins are

balmy wolf
#

Another reason to name it Bowler

thorn moat
#

when are we going to see reiner going rein?

#

i hope we'll see that even once

balmy wolf
#

We'll see that when Rein is actually better

#

Right now, he just tickles people

thorn moat
#

he is the only proper shield tank

balmy wolf
#

His damage is ridiculously bad against tanks

thorn moat
#

true

#

they should make the hammer deal true damage

balmy wolf
#

Make him fight orisa lol

thorn moat
#

like through armor

balmy wolf
#

Armor is such a powerful stat...

thorn moat
#

indeed it is

#

pharah rocket from 120+ to 86 or smthg

#

so strongg

balmy wolf
#

Orisa can make crazy DR combos and never die

thorn moat
#

yep

#

im surprised they didnt use orisa

#

or did they later in the stream

#

i fell asleep but left the stream open

#

SO I WOULD GAIN TOKENS BUT DIDNT

#

i got 0 lol

#

idk how

balmy wolf
#

I'm not even sure if they played Orisa

#

I watched the first two matches.

#

It looked like Genji was useless in the Gladiator's team.

thorn moat
#

last round pati did well

balmy wolf
#

Like, I don't know, I didn't see Genji being useful, or he didn't feel useful.

thorn moat
#

also he had 4+ ult kills/10min

balmy wolf
#

You mean at the very last match?

thorn moat
#

no i mean in the recap

#

where they talked with pati

balmy wolf
#

I only watched the very first two matches lol.

thorn moat
#

they showed the stats

balmy wolf
#

Yea.

#

Oh well, then it was probably too difficult to see if Genji was doing something or not.

thorn moat
#

reiner and astro did so well

#

and the other dps what was his name?

#

fuck i forgot

#

not ans, the third one

#

the one carrying pati the first 2 rounds lol

ebon aurora
#

Kevster

thorn moat
#

yes

vagrant jacinth
#

Damn

#

Imagine forgetting kevster

thorn moat
#

Idk how I forgot

#

The chads with kevster and reiner and astro

novel owl
#

reiner, kevster as well as shu pogg

#

pati did very bad at first

#

seems like he fixed his overextending habit

vagrant jacinth
#

Los Angeles Chadiators

hot onyx
#

MAYHEM TOOK A MAP???

#

Catching up be crazy

#

I know I said Reign downgraded but holy shit

#

I’ll catch up further before I get spoiled

sullen berry
#

Like if you set yourself so so that you feed into a very incompetent rein

balmy wolf
#

I don't think Reins are incompetent when we talk about esports though. 😂

sullen berry
#

With the right prediction you can completely flip the game ecause they done see you playing a whole different rein

#

Nah but another way I can put it is if you are reiner

ebon aurora
#

2/3 perfect predictions, not a bad start

balmy wolf
#

Right

sullen berry
#

and you opponent is say vulcan

sullen berry
ebon aurora
#

nice

#

what have you gone for today

#

I've gone 3-0 Shock, 3-1 Uprising, 3-1 Fuel

sullen berry
#

3-2watch preds are so safe that I would never do them again unless it's toiletbowl potential

#

Uhh for tomorrow, the first games I watch live? Let's see

hot onyx
#

Nero 5k

sullen berry
#

Boston 3-2, no questioning the oracle

#

Houston and fuel still feels like a flip flop when it shouldn't

ebon aurora
#

in this meta Fuel should stuff Outlaws

#

I was considering 3-0 but Outlaws might just nick a map

vagrant jacinth
#

I just didn't pred nyxl winning a map

#

Other than that, perfect scores

#

I think today I went 3-0 shock, 3-0 boston and then 3-1 fuel

#

O I was meaning to ask, why the name FUCK PROPER?

#

We haven't even hit peak toile bowl match yet, but this will be entertaining to watch

#

I can't bloody wait to watch some games live

plush grail
#

we have not seen a toilet bowl

#

but we have also not seen a proper game yet

sullen berry
#

Proper the player or Proper the adjective

plush grail
#

according to some sources ball was the meta, which is probably why all these fights are so scrappy

#

noun

sullen berry
#

Oh did they actually lock OWL players from ball too every match?

plush grail
#

what

sullen berry
#

Well did none of them play ball

#

Not even someone

#

Anyone from day 1 games?

plush grail
#

ball is disabled because of a bug

sullen berry
#

I know Atlanta Florida was a banger for doom

plush grail
#

so most teams just played winston

#

because winston is closest to ball

sullen berry
#

Sheesh, we were balling this whole time and the bug couldn't be played on day one?

#

I've been in despair ever since it came up for the OW2 beta

#

Didn't expect a knock on effect to the actual OWL matches tbh, maybe it was just gentleman's agreement

plush grail
#

but ball being disabled and winston being meta is bad for some teams and good for others

#

fearless winston is way better

hot onyx
#

Shame

sullen berry
#

Why can't it?

hot onyx
#

Titans are better than Uprising on every role on an individual level???

sullen berry
hardy grail
#

Torbjörn

hot onyx
sullen berry
#

They are in my eyes the most competitive at least since atlanta florida

hot onyx
#

There’s London vs Boston tomorrow right?

#

19th vs 20th

#

That will be a great matchup

sullen berry
#

Ultraviolet and Nero were just absolutely monsters relative to Pati/ANS today

hot onyx
#

To see Striker and Shax benched because neither can play their one tricks

sullen berry
#

So say nothing of Kevster playing tracer genji again

hot onyx
#

When Patiphan and Ans have grinded Valorant for months

#

And soldier is the Valorant character

#

But that aside, Hydron and Someone played like absolute beasts that series

#

It physically hurts that they have to play with a bottom 2 support line for the rest of the season

next delta
#

whens boston playing today in est time

hot onyx
#

Could be earlier or later depending on how long Shock vs London lasts

slate siren
#

Y’all saw Nero’s 5 kill yesterday against Florida?

mortal cipher
#

Yeah

Beta patch

#

Whatever you do don’t scroll down to the new zen passive ability

frosty patrol
#

izayaki will farm with his melees

devout path
#

This is so sad

#

I forgot apac doesn’t play for a bit

hot onyx
#

Addi

#

Look on the positive side

devout path
#

I was excited for more overwatch

hot onyx
#

This patch will take like 2 weeks to make it to OWL right?

#

That’s how it worked with last season

devout path
#

Probably be added in at the end of the stage

hot onyx
#

Week 3

#

All apac teams coerce in chaos with the new patch

devout path
#

Why was apac delayed again

hot onyx
#

42 matches in two weekends

#

Wait no

#

30

Wait no

ebon aurora
#

each APAC team faces every other APAC team in each tournament right?

balmy wolf
#

Will games today be on new patch?

#

Wonder if there will be more sojourn with theee changes

devout path
#

Owl changes to the current patch 2-3 weeks after it comes out

#

To let teams practice

#

And learn the new meta

ebon aurora
#

who even will play Genji for Houston? idk if I remember seeing Pelican or Danteh play it much

devout path
#

Or danteh

#

Depends on the other char

ebon aurora
#

have either Pelican or Danteh played Genji in OWL before?

#

I honestly can't remember

devout path
#

2020 summer showdown

ebon aurora
#

was that not Blase on Genji?

devout path
#

Pelican wasn’t there for the one genji meta in 5 years

ebon aurora
#

or am I misremembering

devout path
#

Genji is one of the most irrelevant characters in the meta

balmy wolf
#

Until now haha

devout path
#

For a little bit

#

Genji may be one of the most irrelevant chars but there are some reall really good genjis

#

What team is eqo on

ebon aurora
#

He used to be on Fusion

#

he's not in the league this season

willow drum
#

thoughts on the kilo widow on dorado?

devout path
devout path
ebon aurora
#

idk

willow drum
#

He was getting picks every fight

#

Don't know how people think he was struggling

north relic
#
  1. Didn’t have flora against him
willow drum
#

I agree @north relic

#

Doesn't change the fact that he wasn't struggling

#

Yes, his enemy wasn't the best and he wasn't challenged too much

north relic
#

I wouldn’t be able to struggle agonist paris

#

Shit team tbh

willow drum
#

Ian must be very pissed 🙂

balmy wolf
#

Damn

#

Justice or Spark dont play today either

#

ok

#

shock steamroll again

#

woohoo

hot onyx
balmy wolf
#

justice 2022 BAYBEEE

hot onyx
#

Fusion bad but you could’ve at least immigrated to a good team like I did

#

Like Glads or Defiant

north relic
#

Or nyxl

devout path
#

I might be a glads fan by the end of the season

#

I support whatever team has the coolest flex support

#

So far shu doing it for me

balmy wolf
#

there's no apac this week it seems

hot onyx
#

Or next week

balmy wolf
#

why

hot onyx
#

Covid 19 figures in China have increased tenfold

#

And 5/7 apac teams are based in China

balmy wolf
#

I c

hot onyx
#

So while the Chinese teams take extra precautions to, y’know, stay alive, Fusion and Dynasty are delayed as a result because they can’t just play 6 matches against eachother

devout path
#

Seoul will roll every single one but they can

hot onyx
#

who is your flex support again

#

imagine having a mid tier flex support sub in for your team full time because your top tier flex support cannot play due to tragic circumstances

#

could not be me

#

Jaws saying how Reign fans could have worrying thoughts about two rookie supports going up against veterans like Anamo

#

Weirdchamp

frosty patrol
#

well

#

anamo is a veteran

#

and you know sans

meager falcon
#

mayhem vs eternal is getting put on for me to go sleep

frosty patrol
#

he wasn't invisible in the match

#

he was trying to be leejaegon

#

not succeeding

#

but

#

an attempt

north relic
#

anamo did some great beats

#

he wasn’t the bottom 1 MS that sans said he was

hot onyx
#

Because he doesn’t have any mechanical skill to pull off LJG plays

novel owl
#

another one

meager falcon
#

anyone remember when excelsior were good?

#

aka when pine was in the team

willow drum
#

NYXL was good in S3 playoffs

thin jolt
#

i wonder how many nyxl fans are malding

frosty patrol
#

16th place team nyxl

frosty patrol
#

they were like

#

decent

#

but at the same level as their overall performance that year

#

which is a 7th place team

balmy wolf
#

fuck glads

north relic
#

fuck shock

meager falcon
#

Glads are respectable

#

NYXL aren’t, the fans still think they’re hot shit

meager falcon
balmy wolf
#

no

meager falcon
#

I feel like after losing super they’re gonna go DOWNHILL

balmy wolf
#

no

#

how

meager falcon
#

i’m seeing the NYXL situation going down again, they lose their best player and it ruins the team

willow drum
#

how are they going downhill

meager falcon
#

they aren’t yet but i feel like they will

willow drum
#

But they're not going down

#

In fact they have had the best week one in their whole franchise career

#

They have 3-0ed Paris

meager falcon
#

But tbf they were against Eternal

willow drum
#

last year

#

and Shock usually never do well first week

#

How are they declining

#

And Paris made UPGRADES

meager falcon
#

Once again, i said i feel it

#

not saying it has

willow drum
meager falcon
#

i “feel like”

willow drum
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Evidence has pointed against your feeling

meager falcon
#

Shock fans when different personal opinion

balmy wolf
#

super isnt the best player on the shock

willow drum
#

Evidence literally says that they did better than last year's close 3-1 (against a better paris) and on shock's first game for 5 of their players. And they dominated that match, evidence has pointed against their decline as of now

meager falcon
#

as i said

#

i feel like

#

i “feel like”
i didn’t say “WeLl AcTuALlY FaCtUAlLy SpEAkInG”

#

it’s a personal opinion, not me saying it’s 100% happening

willow drum
#

I'm using facts and evidence to prove your intuition isn't correct as of the moment

#

It can 100% change

meager falcon
#

you can’t prove against someone’s feeling of it potentially happening

willow drum
meager falcon
#

No matters of facts will be able to do that

#

did i say it’s happening right now?

#

did i say it’s happening at all?

#

no, i said i have a feeling it will

#

not “i know it’s happening right now”

willow drum
#

and i never tried to say it won't happen, i'm using my evidence to prove that your intuition isn't happening as of now

#

i think we can both agree there?

meager falcon
#

it’s a bit pointless innit tho?

willow drum
meager falcon
#

like i get it that’s all factually speaking and yes that’s all proven, but i literally just had an opinion

#

and i said it was a feeling not it was happening, so yes you are correct about how shock is improving, and how paris have improved completely, i just find it a bit strange that you got all that evidence to prove a feeling wrong

willow drum
#

I'm not trying to argue with you on the future, just trying to say that as of now Shock has not declined

meager falcon
#

yea but i just have a feeling that shock will decline at some point

#

a feeling, not a statement

meager falcon
#

sometimes i forget that Sleepy played for Shock

willow drum
#

and as of now shock has not declined, so we shall see in the future

willow drum
#

cant believe smurf was on houston academic team

meager falcon
#

it’s so weird to think of some peoples first teams

last nimbus
#

all teams decline?

#

wow good statement

meager falcon
#

okay but what’s everyone’s Pick’Ems for today?

willow drum
willow drum
#

for london

#

dallas sweeps houston

#

and 3-1 for boston

meager falcon
#

Spitfire 3-2 Shock
Titans 3-1 Uprising
Outlaws 3-0 Fuel

willow drum
#

actually 3-2 for boston i change mind

meager falcon
#

i wanna say spitfire takes it 3-0 aswell, but i’m thinking realistically about how good both teams are

#

Spitfire is 100% better (PERSONAL OPINION)
but shock can hold their game

willow drum
#

i'm joking shock sweeps london

#

london is the worse team in the league

#

and is even worse than paris as EU teams

#

and shcok 3-0 paris

#

so shock 3-0 london i predict

last nimbus
#

paris could beat like most mid tier teams easily

willow drum
#

paris beats london 3-0

last nimbus
#

theyre like low tier gatekeepers

willow drum
#

and shock beta paris 3-0

#

so shock beats london 3-0

meager falcon
#

as for Uprising and Fuel, i hate those 2 teams

willow drum
#

?

#

or what u want to see happen

meager falcon
#

Only with those two teams

#

literally my 2 least fav teams

#

Any others i predict off of what i think will happen

willow drum
#

how many points u got yesterday

meager falcon
#

I forgot to do it yesterday lol

#

didn’t have the app until yesterday

willow drum
#

got 8 yesterday

#

only thing i got wrong was nyxl vs glads

#

overrated glads

trim shadow
#

I think sideshow said it best

#

Shock look cordinated

#

Glads look like a team of fraggers

willow drum
trim shadow
#

Bro shock suprised me

#

I expected them to look like gladiators

#

How the fuck did crusty turn this mostly rookie squad into a team

#

What kind of blood magic is he doing

marsh leaf
#

As an nyxl and glad fan yesterday was distressing

trim shadow
#

But new york has a light

#

Myunbong and gangnamjin looked pretty good

#

They just gotta be more “aggressive”

#

But my hot take of the day is boston v vancouver is gonna be very entertaining

#

A slop fest i expect

marsh leaf
#

Mhm but my hope holds for Boston I’ve never been a fan of Vancouver

trim shadow
#

I honestly dont know who the hopium should be given to

#

But seeing as the flex support position kinda made or broke games yesterday

#

Boston should edge?

#

But then again masaa is a very consistent lucio and aztac..is aztac

#

Also shockwave aspire v striker valentine or victoria

frosty patrol
#

they are much better than boston and london

#

but besides that

#

not really

willow tartan
frosty patrol
#

finn kilo proper is an old core and coluge s9mm is an old core

#

add an owl veteran onto that

willow tartan
#

coluge is a boomer too

trim shadow
#

MZ48_codm_ugandawut rookie squad of course there competition was paris but they looked beyond contenders level

willow tartan
#

he's been slapping around in contenders for years

north relic
#

Owl players beyond contenders level?

willow tartan
#

its almost as if

trim shadow
#

UZ99_codm_kek here we go

willow tartan

rookies are picked up because they are better than contenders level

trim shadow
#

Hurr

willow tartan
#

mfw trial moment

frosty patrol
#

did you guys know mn3 is contenders level

trim shadow
#

Hurr

frosty patrol
#

until he plays

#

because that's how it works

willow tartan
#

he is good enough for fusion to pick him up

frosty patrol
#

no

#

he's contenders level

willow tartan
#

now how high or low fusions standards are we dont know

#

because valiant 2021's standards were below contenders level

#

I reviewed the Mayhem's game yesterday and it was SOMEONE who lost them that game

frosty patrol
#

bowol is about to post mental gymnastics about how the 3rd place team in NA only lost to reign because of a random player

trim shadow
#

How so?

frosty patrol
#

ok yep

#

no it was anamo

#

anamo is a thrower

trim shadow
#

I believe anamo lost mayhem tons of fights

north relic
frosty patrol
#

also everyone got caught out like 15 times that game including hydron

full lichen
frosty patrol
trim shadow
#

Anamo was sitting on beat a good 3 teams

frosty patrol
#

anamo literally threw

trim shadow
#

Either he got his head torn off before he could ult

full lichen

Someone threw with Hog on Gibraltar

trim shadow
#

Or he was not predicting the ults/dives

frosty patrol

also

trim shadow
willow tartan
#

you know what really lost florida the game?

#

lack of depth

frosty patrol
#

majed just waited 5 years to nano a bunch of times

willow tartan
#

they didnt have a plan B

#

just kept doing the same things hoping itll work next try

frosty patrol
#

also

last nimbus
#

someone was good

frosty patrol
#

someone looked very very good at times

last nimbus
#

well not on hog

frosty patrol
#

he was less questionable than anamo or majed

last nimbus
#

i didnt see anamo doing anything weird?

frosty patrol
#

and he was equally as questionable as hydron or chadmate

cunning patrol
willow tartan
#

chadmate actually decent fragger

trim shadow
#

Checkmate and hydron were the highlights?

willow tartan
#

but maybe ow2 syndrome

full lichen
north relic
frosty patrol
#

chadmate and hydron did some stupid shit sometimes but yes they were good

#

hydron was very pepege on multiple occasions

#

but also cracked

north relic
#

Czechmate did good

frosty patrol
#

@trim shadow basically someone would peel back for majed and then anamo would decide that it was a perfect time to engage while someone was peeling

#

it was so weird

#

chadmate is the best player on florida

#

role star candidate

full lichen
#

SirMajed has 9.6 thousand healing halfway through Eichenwalde (Nero said it in the game chat) so him Hydron and Checkmate carried and Anamo did pretty good and Someone was just existing

frosty patrol

ngl

full lichen
frosty patrol
#

hydron anamo and someone were all doing pretty questionably

#

hydron I already explained

#

he looked very good but pepega fed sometimes

#

anamo is just

frosty patrol
#

anamo

#

and then someone played hog

#

also

#

majed looked worse than uv

full lichen
frosty patrol
#

my assessment of the game
hawk = someone unless someone was on hog
hydron < kai
checkmate =< nero
anamo < ojee
majed < uv

trim shadow
#

Uv was fucking all game long??

north relic
willow tartan
#

Florida got outgamed by the Doomfist not gonna lie

north relic
#

Uv probably had a thousand or two less heals

#

But was much better

frosty patrol
#

hydron looks as expected

#

mid

full lichen
last nimbus
#

stats are the least important thing in this game

#

uv hit almost all of his nades

last nimbus
#

thats way more important

frosty patrol
last nimbus

majed was healbotting cause checkmate couldnt dps enough

what's the 10%

full lichen

I'm can't argue much

north relic
full lichen
frosty patrol
#

healing

#

lol

#

also

#

that game looked like mayhem getting roster diffed but not coaching diffed

#

sephy was the reason it wasn't a 3-0

willow tartan
#

Cause he's a one trick that's not even good at his one tricks

frosty patrol
#

brutally inflexible

full lichen
#

Ngl Eichenwalde was one of the best OWL maps I have ever seen played so this game may have been 3-1 but the Reign worked hard to get the win

frosty patrol
#

he would be a great pharah but

#

nothing else

willow tartan
#

Being rank 1 doesn't mean shit

north relic
#

Fucking Eu ladder

#

Is a joke

willow tartan
#

Mate, any good pharah player would eat yznsa alive

frosty patrol
#

he'd be like the 3-5th best pharah in owl and not able to play anything else

north relic
#

It’s like one owl player that is scrimming instead

frosty patrol
#

actually

north relic
#

And it’s sparkr

frosty patrol
#

he'd also be able to be a bottom 5 echo

#

the one owl player constantly playing eu ladder was sparkr and he was yzn's duo

#

so like

#

yzn went up against 0 owl players

willow tartan
#

It's almost as if none of the owl players are in Europe

north relic
#

Fd ain’t an owl player

frosty patrol
#

oh yeah because a lucio one trick has a good matchup against a pharah one trick and hitscan player

north relic
#

Also it’s a different role

frosty patrol
#

yes

#

worst region not named oceania

willow tartan
#

We knew this ages ago

willow tartan
frosty patrol
#

not a region anymore

#

got shut down

north relic
#

Oceania has bus

#

God

frosty patrol
#

bus > adam

twin bloom

Yzn would be by far the best pharah in owl and its mainly cause no one else plays her as much as he does

frosty patrol
#

indonesia? philippines? papua new guinea?

willow tartan

Haha no

twin bloom
#

But if pharah

#

Became

Meta

And people started grinding her

willow tartan
#

Mike none of the fucking countries you listed are in Oceania

Than people like jinmu could overtake

papua new guinea and parts of indonesia are

They aren't.

idk man s9mm was playing well above average an avg flex dps

frosty patrol

s9mm looked decent

last nimbus

idk why people shit on the guy so much

frosty patrol

probably around mid

because you have to remember

#

his competition was naga

#

who is below average

last nimbus
#

yeah if u have proper on ur team you instantly look good

full lichen
#

s9mm was doing about like Hydron yesterday

frosty patrol

so s9mm probably mid

and hydron also seems about mid

so

makes sense

Shock might be my to early to pick grand finalist pick

Dragons

Well kellan didnt exactly look like he was the sole starter

Who was player of the match for Mayhem vs Atlanta?

This meta favors fuel

but

whoru

is the dragons secret weapon

vagrant jacinth

Fuel should fuck in this meta

willow tartan
#

My bets is that it's not meta and people are just playing it because fuel played it in scrims

#

I mean think Abt it, it's a very fuel composition

#

Ana Lucio genji monkey

frosty patrol
#

or maybe

#

meta is sephy’s version

of the comp

and sephy is a genius
