#

no pokemon evolution

#

i think he's upper level but not elite

#

problem is though glads as a whole are kinda sloppy

next mesa
#

no

#

not any

#

lip is

#

built differently

#

genetically

willow tartan
#

???

next mesa
#

imo

willow tartan
#

yeah and if you had a second LIP aka, talented player, like I said

#

same thing could be said

next mesa
#

what

cunning patrol
#

Lip is more than talented

#

Imo

next mesa
#

im talking about lip

#

not just any talented player

willow tartan
#

???

next mesa
#

someone smart came

willow tartan
#

what the fuck do you think talented means

#

god

#

you both suck at english

cunning patrol
#

You’re mom

tawdry hamlet
#

In my head I saw Atlanta and LAG being projected top but always losing out to Dallas because of holes in rosters overlooked because star power WICK3D

#

I foresaw lag having a s4 Philly moment

willow tartan
#

visa hell?

tawdry hamlet
#

Star power that can't perform and plays sloppily

#

Well performs but performs sloppily I guess

#

Like they have all those big names but combined they're a little lackluster it feels like

willow tartan
#

when push comes to shove and they fight the best teams its really just that mechanics that they are banking on to carry them forward

#

did you see their match against dallas?

tawdry hamlet
#

That was the really close one right?

willow tartan
#

glads were up two maps, dallas make a mid-game call to swap their playstyle and glads never found a counter

#

simply a team differential

tawdry hamlet
#

It feels like superteam vs team with a core of good players vibes

#

Also why did Vancouver sign mirror and how is hadi actually winning games

#

I only saw hadis rein domination game

#

Since I skipped scrub teams crome

willow tartan
#

london coordinating more as a team than glads is troel

#

anyways the answer to how london is winning games is that vancouver and boston are really bad

tawdry hamlet
#

Hydron being one of the replaceable players on at underrated him lowkey

#

Boston lmao

#

If we pick up a low mid flex support and an above average flex support and a coming out of retirement Striker we got a champ roster sleeperpatrick

#

And marve1 and half of their contenders roster

earnest leaf
#

I think

#

lip overrated

tawdry hamlet
#

Lip and Kevin will never be overrated, best dps in the world

#

I'm only half serious tho

earnest leaf
#

I mean it ironically and unironically though

#

I think some of his hard hitscans get rated a bit too high considering he hasn't realistically had to face super hard hitscan competition for the most part

#

and his performance on sombra gets his other heroes rated a bit too high sometimes

#

I don't doubt his ability to be a top hitscan, be he is decently close to one tricking sombra most of the time

tawdry hamlet
#

I forgot they got bebe

earnest leaf
#

like i'm pretty sure over half his playtime in 2020 is legit just sombra

tawdry hamlet
#

Didn't he play Cass often

earnest leaf
#

1.3 hours on cass in 2020

#

3.5 in 2021

#

in 2020 he played 44/88 maps on sombra

tawdry hamlet
#

ap_OMEGALUL actual trolling playstyle that's lowkey sick

earnest leaf
#

and 52/124 maps were on sombra in 2021

tawdry hamlet
#

Imagine being so good at an annoying hero you just troll the whole league and win everything

earnest leaf
#

I basically just want to see lip actually have to hard mirror hitscan vs people

#

instead of just swapping every now and then for parts of maps

#

A full series widow mirroring fits for example

tawdry hamlet
#

Fits is like my favorite hard hitscan in the league

#

He's so solid

#

Fits Cass is just so smooth he fucks

untold surge
#

Pew pew

willow tartan
#

i mean to be fair to him there just hasn't been a meta that forces him to play widowmaker

#

(because god of widowmakers diem played during it)

earnest leaf
#

that and he was the best sombra so he might as well of one tricked it

tropic herald
#

I think LIP gaming is a god among men on all hitscan heroes

#

#NOBIAS

cunning patrol
#

Lip is the best hard hs in owl

#

Only mn3 fits kai close imo

willow tartan
#

wtf...

#

empathy was muted?

hollow bough
#

@tropic herald bozo

willow tartan
#

order 66??

tropic herald
#

That is a certified mik gif

next mesa
#

rated too high

#

imo

#

real smart analysts know that lip widow is not among the very elite

#

although still

#

maybe S tier imo

#

however his ashe

#

is the best in the league

#

cass also good

#

overall great player

#

just on raw aim

#

unmatched

earnest leaf
#

my usual first pick has paid off

#

Kinda cringe how they just bunched it in with the new update

north relic

Then the reaper would be late

frosty patrol
#

anniversary remixes are being cycled with betas

#

until presumably launch (at least pvp launch)

frosty patrol

mik is an admin

sly lagoon
#

How has the east games gone

willow tartan
#

#

#

covid issue

#

sly lagoon

frosty patrol
vagrant jacinth

East starts this week

balmy wolf

frosty patrol
#

yes

balmy wolf
#

I'm watching some old noobhunter vids and man kabaji used to be really cracked aim wise

tropic herald
frosty patrol
#

shax

#

so bad

north relic
#

Proper is a stat bot

frosty patrol
#

finale is a stat bot in some categories

#

but really sucks

north relic
#

Hotba is the best tracer

frosty patrol
#

yes

balmy wolf
#

EZ

#

PROPER BEST

#

LETS GOO

#

yeau

balmy wolf
#

fuck how do i sprll

#

bbueildiful

#

beutiful

#

:(

willow drum
#

havent seen him take a shit on leave and lip so cant say in the league

#

but when it happens the statement will be updated

frosty patrol
#

you haven’t seen him face haker tracer

cedar oasis
#

Facts

#

Proper tracer gets shat on by haker

#

And hotba tracer

willow drum
#

thats because haker wont even get to meet sf shock

#

in midseason madness

#

and neither will hotba

cedar oasis
#

Because shock dont make it

#

Kinda sad

willow drum
#

wrong sadly

#

nohill cant make a decent team good

#

i would also be surprised if hotba plays tracer over finale

cedar oasis
#

Shock lose to any decent team that can play more then 1 style

willow drum
#

wrong once again

#

shock is #1 in NA unless proven otherwise

#

and a team with 2 washed up valorant players wont beat them

#

sad!

cedar oasis
#

Shock is not 1 na

#

They are like 5th

willow drum
#

name 4 teams above them

#

and if you say atlanta i will mald lmao

cedar oasis
#

Dallas glads justice Toronto

#

Ratlanta sucks

willow drum
#

rare uvalo W take

#

very middling team

cedar oasis
#

My takes are always good

#

And I have always said ratlanta is bad

north relic
#

Doesn’t argue against putting shock 5th

willow drum
#

it is the same as arguing against someone who believes the earth is flat

north relic
#

He is based

willow drum
#

in his ATL takes yeah

hot onyx
#

In NA?

#

Or is it 6?

willow drum
frosty patrol
#

shock are my least favorite team

willow drum
#

and i think it is 8

frosty patrol
hot onyx
willow drum
#

finale tracer very elite

willow drum
hot onyx
#

Replace “el” with “sh” and you’re correct

frosty patrol
#

hotba

#

elite tracer

willow drum
#

he might actually play dps over finale

#

thats the sad part lol

#

but finale is probably more versatile

hot onyx
#

Also there is a slim chance of Valiant making it to midseason madness

willow drum
#

so i doubt td staff is that dumb

#

isnt it 4 from apac?

hot onyx
#

Seoul decide to coin flip and it lands on bad

willow drum
#

you would think its shd seoul philly chengdu

#

or spark instead of philly

hot onyx
#

Fusion decide not to sign Sado and Sanguinar at the last minute

hot onyx
willow drum
#

philly have belosrea

#

after all

hot onyx
#

Dps are equal but there’s a massive gap in tanks and supports

#

Like

#

Dragons vs Titans gap in tanks and supports

north relic
#

Fury szn

willow drum
#

still see fusion winning over val

#

and i also dont see a world where shock dont qualify for midseason m

hot onyx
#

I can see a world where Fusion shit the bed even harder than I expect

sly lagoon
#

Does dragons have the same line up

#

From last year

willow drum
#

yes

hot onyx
#

MN3 Zest physically not being able to cope with the weight of Belosrea at an OWL level alongside a weaker supportline than their contenders team

north relic
#

They replaced their mid fs with a top tier One

#

(Shanghai not fusion)

hot onyx
#

Unique yes

#

Pacifist ms

#

Basically Anamo but less shit

willow drum
#

he was not unique!

#

very hard 2 rememeber

tropic herald
hot onyx
cedar oasis
#

Cant wait for a Dallas vs dragons 2 times in the finals like last year

hot onyx
#

Gladiators vs Spark*

cedar oasis
#

Sorry even if spark do manage to not shit the bed for 1 tournament dragons still stomp them

#

Same with glads

#

Unless both teams sandbag again

raw ermine
#

drags are pretty similar

willow drum
#

dallas very middling dps line

cedar oasis
#

Wrong

#

Edison best reaper

willow drum
#

does not matter when reaper falls out of meta

raw ermine
#

best reaper guy

willow drum
#

edison b tier dps and sparkle a tier dps

#

i'd say thats middling

cedar oasis
#

Sparkle Doha both s tier

#

Easily

#

Edison is a slot filler

willow drum
#

and doha has not played

cedar oasis
#

Guriyo will come out after his intense training and be a top 5 hitscan

willow drum
#

therefore I am not confident in doha being s tier

#

and sparkle has looked not confident and has fed

#

more so than usual

#

thus he is A

cedar oasis
#

Dallas have played good teams

#

Wait till they play a shitter like titans

willow drum
#

they got 3-0ed by houston

cedar oasis
#

Dont you know the first game curse?

#

Moron

#

Just wait philly gonna stomp the dragons

willow drum
#

by that logic shock should have lost at least a map to paris

cedar oasis
#

Dallas have never won a first game

#

Doesn't matter who they playe they will always lose first game

#

Just like how philly will always win First game

willow drum
#

and shock have always dropped a map first weekend

#

doesnt mean that curses cant stop

#

dallas curse of misery stopped last year as well

#

i dislike using these patterns as copium for teams

#

because often times these patterns have not happened enough to say anything other than they are just coincidences

twin bloom
willow drum
vagrant jacinth
#

The cycles are just memes

#

I don't think anyone takes them literally

willow drum
#

i hope no one takes them literally

north relic
#

The Houston Dallas game is a bad way to rate either team

#

Houston that game was looking like the best team NA they over performed imo

willow drum
#

yep

north relic
#

Houston is a good team but definitely on the lower end

twin bloom
#

Sp9rkle is A tier

#

Always has been

#

Doha sucks

#

Never has been good

#

Ever

#

In history

balmy wolf
#

june joust?

twin bloom
#

Ok

#

He is a reaper

#

Sombra

#

Mei

#

3 trick

#

Every other champion

frosty patrol
#

doha is an A+ tier reaper mei sombra

twin bloom
#

He is not good imho

frosty patrol
#

B tier genji pharah echo

twin bloom
#

Imo

frosty patrol
#

yes

#

pelican is not b tier on pharah

twin bloom
#

Mirror looked more competetive

#

Vs pelican

#

On the pharah

frosty patrol
#

Doha was nutty in s3

#

for like

#

4 games

#

on pharah

cedar oasis
#

Doha was an s tier sombra

#

You guys are morons

#

Not you openerfan4 you are based

north relic
#

Everyone can get diffed by pelican pharah

twin bloom
next mesa
#

Doha is A tier

twin bloom
#

Doha is just assasin

next mesa
#

On sombra

twin bloom
#

On a good team

next mesa
#

Doha is low B imo

#

As a player

twin bloom
next mesa
#

I agree with ur analysis

next mesa
willow drum
#

multiple B tier players and one A tier player is 100% middling

next mesa
#

Sparkle is hitting S tier

#

Imo

#

But this season his stocks kinda dropped

#

With the minor Genji feed

willow drum
#

sadly I don't believe in that if you have seen his genji plays

#

this year

next mesa
#

I have always rated Doha low

#

He was why Dallas lost

hot onyx
#

Dallas having only one consistently good dps player is what's holding them back from greatness

#

oh how i wish we lived in a world where Rush continued exclusively signing former Element Mystic players

#

and put his bank account into MN3

#

instead of reapison and guri-joke

ebon aurora
#

if they're beating good teams when their DPS are underperforming i can't imagine what will happen if/when their DPS click

hot onyx
#

Hanbin Fielder does that to a mf tbh

next mesa
#

Because they have the best tank in the league and a top 5 support line

hot onyx
#

top 3* support line

ebon aurora
#

only top 5?

#

I was about to say, top 3 seems more reasonable

hot onyx
#

no way they're below like'

#

Viol2t FiNN

ebon aurora
#

the support lines I'd put on par are Shanghai and Glads - that's it

next mesa
#

Twilight chorong

hot onyx
#

Shanghai and Glads are better, but Fuel is a very close 3rd

ebon aurora
#

Toronto is a fair shout

next mesa
#

So fuel is foirth

#

Fourth*

ebon aurora
#

I'd probably say about even

hot onyx
#

but a heavily close 4th

next mesa
#

Twilight chorong

#

Is just a slightly better version

#

Of fielder chiyo

hot onyx
#

debateable but I can't argue either way

ebon aurora
#

I'd say Fielder is slightly better than Twilight and Chor0ng is slightly better than Chiyo

#

but it's very very close

hot onyx
#

seeing people invest in Defiant stonks before Although is even with the team is a happy sight

ebon aurora
#

Fuel v Defiant could be one of the games of the weekend

next mesa
#

Twilight

#

While overrated imo

#

Is still S tier

#

And his playstyle

#

Is better than fielder in OW2

ebon aurora
#

who is calling Twilight overrated

next mesa
#

Imo

next mesa
hot onyx
#

he was the 7th best flex support in the league last season

ebon aurora
#

I think Fuel will beat Defiant but I think it will be close

hot onyx
#

saying he was top 5 is overrating him

ebon aurora
#

maybe a 5 mapper?

hot onyx
#

without Although?

ebon aurora
#

also would it be fair to say Fuel have had the toughest start to the season

hot onyx
#

that's optimistic

ebon aurora
#

they've had no easy teams

#

their first 4 opponents are all top-mid NA

hot onyx
#

then they play Paris and Titans

ebon aurora
#

I can't think of a tougher SoS so far for one of the top teams

#

shame no Shock v Fuel in this stage

#

unless they meet in the tournament itself

#

how close do we think Glads will make it against Shock

#

because that feels like Shock's first real test

#

I didn't expect Outlaws to put up too much resistance and I was right

stuck radish
#

close 3-1 for shock or 3-2 shock

#

imo

#

houston was doing really well in that match

willow drum
ebon aurora
#

so many cool individual matchups: Kevster v Proper on Tracer, Reiner v Coluge on Winston, Shu v Finn on Ana...

willow drum
#

didnt think outlaws underpreformed either

#

notice how he didnt talk about the ans v kilo matchup

#

because the difference is very big

#

kilo takes it easily!

ebon aurora
#

hasn't Kilo been playing some sombra stuff

#

as well as hitscan

willow drum
#

kilo played sombra for like 8 mins

ebon aurora
#

I swear it was more than that

#

feel like it was 1-2 maps worth but maybe I'm wrong

frosty patrol
willow drum
#

it was half of uh

#

midtown

#

minus 3 mins of the start

#

so around 8

ebon aurora
frosty patrol
#

everyone else played at least one bad team first 3

ebon aurora
#

compared to Dallas: Outlaws, Justice, Glads, Defiant

#

where is the bad team there lol

frosty patrol
#

outlaws justice glads actually

#

that’s tied

#

so justice fuel 2 toughest first 3s

stuck radish
#

still cant believe atlanta got swept by the Washington Justice

ebon aurora
#

who do Justice have this week

frosty patrol
#

this is the easy part of our schedule

#

guaranteed 5-1

ebon aurora
#

but then after Defiant Fuel have Titans and Paris

willow drum
#

still cant believe that proper got bob when mer1t got 43% bob

ebon aurora
#

so that evens out

stuck radish
ebon aurora
#

I'm sure I only remember Proper playing Tracer, Genji and Echo v Outlaws

willow drum
#

s3 2020

ebon aurora
#

ooh

willow drum
#

still cant forget that

#

proper just diffing mer1t ashe

willow drum
#

funny how proper was the echo player when he was with pelican lmao

cunning patrol

Viol2t gaps him

and why is it the shock

tidal marsh
willow drum
#

oh god

last nimbus
#

i think glads/dallas/shock are on par with each other

#

shock has consistent coaching glads has worse coaching and dallas got a bit of both

willow drum
#

but no in the sense that shock is preferred over both

last nimbus
#

nah

#

they're competetive

tidal marsh
#

shock have played paris, london, outlaws and new york

willow drum
tidal marsh
#

they've started off with the weakest teams in the league so far

willow drum
#

like I would pred them over dallas and glads

dont think thats a hot take

last nimbus

yeah idk if i would

willow drum

Astro trolled ilios it was kind of funny

tidal marsh

one troll makes him mid but multiple from Faith makes him A tier

cunning patrol

Faith never trolled

  • cope
hot onyx
#

beating after being hit with a bionade instead of taking clear cover is trolling

tidal marsh

its kinda insane comparing roster sizes for each season how massive they can get

hot onyx

when opposite team is about to build visor

#

imo

cunning patrol
willow drum
#

faith incredibly good

cunning patrol

Also never called him mid

tidal marsh
#

have faith

hot onyx

when he plays on a team above bottom 3 and performs well i'll believe it

#

but ms Myunbong overrated imo

cunning patrol

You just don’t know what ur talking about lmao

tidal marsh
#

viol2t ms is fun

#

he's happily proved me wrong

willow drum
#

dont understand why gnji is on the MS

#

i think the fs matters 1000% more than the ms

#

in this meta

#

so i would rather take the devil i dont know over the devil i do know

#

so please put gnj on ana

cunning patrol
#

They should’ve just never signed myun

#

Lol

north relic
#

Gnj is the better ms

#

It’s not a matter of who is the better fs

hot onyx
#

i have been on a podcast

#

therefor my opinion is more reliable

cunning patrol
#

Ur opinion is the least reliable in this chat imo

cunning patrol
#

And fs matters more

cunning patrol

Shoulda just gone for sgn gnj backline

the houston one wasnt a homestand

cause they didnt play in houston

it was a "homestand"

it was a neutral site in-person event

Some guy in the Fusion Discord said Belosrea is not bad

#

How can one man hold this much copium in one vessel without overdosing?

next mesa
#

He's not bad

hot onyx
next mesa
#

He just needs to work on his mechanics, positioning, hero pool, shotcalling, and ability management

hot onyx
#

Whereas Sado only needs to work on his shotcalling

sado is rumored to be retired

Tell me you’re baiting

#

Or winning grand finals in 2020 after a loser bracket run

vagrant jacinth
#

That is copium

hot onyx
#

It is

#

But it was also very plausible since the meta was open

#

Or at least I thought it was

next mesa
hot onyx
#

I thought with double sniper dive, reaper sombra dive, double bubble all being viable I saw a possibility that Fusion were talented enough to make it work

#

In 2020 at the time you’re choosing between three superteams and the Seoul Dynasty to win the grand finals

willow drum
#

and it turns out seoul was

#

in fact

#

the 2nd place

#

crazy

earnest leaf
#

philly wasn't a super team in 2020

#

they fell short all year long lmao

willow drum
earnest leaf
#

a super team wins something

#

philly failed to do so all season long

willow drum
#

super team as in they had like top 5 players

#

all roles

#

i dont think u can deny that

earnest leaf
#

their highlights were coming second twice in finals and beating shock in regular season once 3-0

#

their support line was probably the best part

#

fury was pretty good, but still outclassed by choi/void/hanbin, sado was good but kinda carried

#

Carpe/heesu were good, but never good enough to beat out their competition

hot onyx
#

Just because a team actively chokes that makes them bad?

#

Fusion had all players top 5 minimum in all roles and solid backups with Boombox and Poko

earnest leaf
#

They were a good team no doubt

#

just not a superteam

hot onyx
#

Multiple players to cover all roles in a perfect rotation that covered all bases

earnest leaf
#

Until they faced actual competition, where they crumbled

hot onyx
#

I would hardly call that crumbling

earnest leaf
#

Still failed to win anything

willow drum
#

that is just bad logic

#

once again

ok guys

choking is something that superteams

can suffer

since we’re talking about season 3

There have been 2 super teams in owl history

you really don’t pay attention to anything

ohhh he was one of the 2020 charge players, that explains why I didn't know him

prolly fate on orisa if it was still ow1

#

ga9a is genuinely great on monkey and a solid orisa/rein tho

#

fate has always been historically a great orisa so idk why he said that lol

#

in s3 he was top 3 in na wit sado and smurf

#

and whenever he played it in s4 he was great

hot onyx

I would argue Benbest was a better orisa in season 3

#

But only season 3

But at the same time

Fate would’ve likely been better if he had Rush NineK coaching with Xzi Sp9rk1e Hanbin FDGod Fielder

You don’t believe Nohill can coach 3 players that haven’t played professionally for over 2 years, a washed up tracer one trick, and a flex support benched for Bebe MCD whom proved exactly why they were benched when fielded

No I do not have that permission
