i think he's upper level but not elite
problem is though glads as a whole are kinda sloppy
???
imo
yeah and if you had a second LIP aka, talented player, like I said
same thing could be said
what
???
You’re mom
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 
I foresaw lag having a s4 Philly moment
visa hell?
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
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?
That was the really close one right?
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
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 
london coordinating more as a team than glads is 
anyways the answer to how london is winning games is that vancouver and boston are really bad
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 
And marve1 and half of their contenders roster

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

I'm only half serious tho
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
like i'm pretty sure over half his playtime in 2020 is legit just sombra
Didn't he play Cass often
actual trolling playstyle that's lowkey sick
and 52/124 maps were on sombra in 2021
Imagine being so good at an annoying hero you just troll the whole league and win everything
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
Fits is like my favorite hard hitscan in the league
He's so solid

Fits Cass is just so smooth he fucks
Pew pew
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)
that and he was the best sombra so he might as well of one tricked it
@tropic herald bozo
order 66??
That is a certified mik gif
its not
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
no Beckys?
May alarm rest in peace
Babel is better
proper better
Is that reaper skins tokens?
If Proper is good how come he never played for BM Hawk?
Checkmate liberal
Yes
200 tokens
Kinda cringe how they just bunched it in with the new update
After anni is more beta news
Then the reaper would be late
anniversary remixes are being cycled with betas
until presumably launch (at least pvp launch)
Me
me
no moderators speak in this channel
How has the east games gone
east hasnt started yet
next week
covid issue
so they ahve to cathc yp and play like 4 matches in one week
I thoght east startrd last week
East starts this week
yes
I'm watching some old noobhunter vids and man kabaji used to be really cracked aim wise
Proper is a stat bot
Hotba is the best tracer
yes
where did u get these beutiful stats
fuck how do i sprll
bbueildiful
beutiful
:(
and also the best in NA at tracer
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
you haven’t seen him face haker tracer
thats because haker wont even get to meet sf shock
in midseason madness
and neither will hotba
wrong sadly
nohill cant make a decent team good
i would also be surprised if hotba plays tracer over finale
Shock lose to any decent team that can play more then 1 style
wrong once again
shock is #1 in NA unless proven otherwise
and a team with 2 washed up valorant players wont beat them
sad!
Doesn’t argue against putting shock 5th
that is because there is no point in arguing with idiots
it is the same as arguing against someone who believes the earth is flat
He is based
in his ATL takes yeah
Don’t 8 teams make it to midseason madness?
In NA?
Or is it 6?
i meant from the valiant side
shock are my least favorite team
and i think it is 8
8
.
as seen by this chart
Replace “el” with “sh” and you’re correct
he might actually play dps over finale
thats the sad part lol
but finale is probably more versatile
Also there is a slim chance of Valiant making it to midseason madness
Seoul decide to coin flip and it lands on bad
Fusion decide not to sign Sado and Sanguinar at the last minute
Spark are way better than Philly???
looking at it now spark is prob better than philly
philly have belosrea
after all
Dps are equal but there’s a massive gap in tanks and supports
Like
Dragons vs Titans gap in tanks and supports
Fury szn
still see fusion winning over val
and i also dont see a world where shock dont qualify for midseason m
I can see a world where Fusion shit the bed even harder than I expect
yes
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
who was t1 ms
unique right
Essentially
Except for releasing their best hitscan they have the same core
Cant wait for a Dallas vs dragons 2 times in the finals like last year
Gladiators vs Spark*
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
drags are pretty similar
dallas very middling dps line
does not matter when reaper falls out of meta
best reaper guy
sparkle has not been s tier off of the preformances he has had
and doha has not played
Guriyo will come out after his intense training and be a top 5 hitscan
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
they got 3-0ed by houston
Dont you know the first game curse?
Moron
Just wait philly gonna stomp the dragons
does not mean shit because houston is not a good team
by that logic shock should have lost at least a map to paris
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
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
🤣
very laughable 2021 take fr
i hope no one takes them literally
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
yep
Houston is a good team but definitely on the lower end
Sp9rkle is A tier
Always has been
Doha sucks
Never has been good
Ever
In history
june joust?
doha is an A+ tier reaper mei sombra
He is not good imho
B tier genji pharah echo
it’s pelican
Everyone can get diffed by pelican pharah
His sombra lost to the ratlanter reigns dive composition
Doha is A tier
On sombra
On a good team
Ok
I agree with ur analysis
On sombra
"Levy" and other top tier analysts have agreed with me that Dallas have a middling DPS line
multiple B tier players and one A tier player is 100% middling
Sparkle is hitting S tier
Imo
But this season his stocks kinda dropped
With the minor Genji feed
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
if they're beating good teams when their DPS are underperforming i can't imagine what will happen if/when their DPS click
Hanbin Fielder does that to a mf tbh
Because they have the best tank in the league and a top 5 support line
top 3* support line
the support lines I'd put on par are Shanghai and Glads - that's it
Twilight chorong
Shanghai and Glads are better, but Fuel is a very close 3rd
Toronto is a fair shout
I'd probably say about even
as much as I love Twilight CH0R0NG I would take Fielder ChiYo if i had the choice
but a heavily close 4th
debateable but I can't argue either way
I'd say Fielder is slightly better than Twilight and Chor0ng is slightly better than Chiyo
but it's very very close
seeing people invest in Defiant stonks before Although is even with the team is a happy sight
Fuel v Defiant could be one of the games of the weekend
Twilight
While overrated imo
Is still S tier
And his playstyle
Is better than fielder in OW2
who is calling Twilight overrated
Imo
Me
he was the 7th best flex support in the league last season
I think Fuel will beat Defiant but I think it will be close
saying he was top 5 is overrating him
maybe a 5 mapper?
without Although?
also would it be fair to say Fuel have had the toughest start to the season
that's optimistic
then they play Paris and Titans
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
we have said that for outlaws as well
so many cool individual matchups: Kevster v Proper on Tracer, Reiner v Coluge on Winston, Shu v Finn on Ana...
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!
not a lot lmao
kilo played sombra for like 8 mins
justice had the toughest first 3 arguably
Toronto, Reign, Dallas? Yeah not a bad shout
everyone else played at least one bad team first 3
compared to Dallas: Outlaws, Justice, Glads, Defiant
where is the bad team there lol
still cant believe atlanta got swept by the Washington Justice
who do Justice have this week
shitter teams
this is the easy part of our schedule
guaranteed 5-1
but then after Defiant Fuel have Titans and Paris
still cant believe that proper got bob when mer1t got 43% bob
so that evens out
proper was carrying him all along
what map was that where Shock played Ashe?
I'm sure I only remember Proper playing Tracer, Genji and Echo v Outlaws
i meant in contendors
s3 2020
ooh
i meant when mer1t was on runaway
funny how proper was the echo player when he was with pelican lmao
FunnyAstro vs Viol2t on lucio
Viol2t gaps him
Boombox beats them
Hellfire is so jealous of Dallas Fuel
boombox is a bad ms
clearly coolmatt is the best ms
? why would I be jealous
counter argument, mano
dallas fuel is owned by envy esports
i want london to top me too
if i had envy as my boss i would literally cry
kuki lucio solos
could be worse, could be immortals
thats true
chadi is so hot
he needs 2 b on top of me
😍
no
shock with the 3 peat
?
doubt
woohpo
shock's gonna choke
buddy buddy
playoffs is in like
5 months
maybe even 6 lmao
proper could literally just be the best dps player in owl
spoiler alert: (he is)
yes
Hello bois
sadly proper has dreams every day
and in every dream of his he shits on lip
tis i
in GF
A noob
whats up hru
i can't compare apac and NA teams till i see them compete
who do u think is the best in NA rn
and why is it the shock
glads
oh god
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
yes in the degree that all 3 could win against each other
but no in the sense that shock is preferred over both
shock have played paris, london, outlaws and new york
shock is preferred over both
they've started off with the weakest teams in the league so far
yeah idk if i would
wrong, houston is not a bad team
its houston
they are not one of the weakest teams in the league
they have mf pelican
its houston
its houston
overwatch league viewer trying to argue in 2022
its houston
you're p dumb if you think houston is worse than paris nyxl titans and boston
good thing thats not what i think
good
at least you have brain cells
yes and what notable teams has glads won against?
justice top 1
that gives you any confidence in them?
On 1/3 of their matches, yes
they have played 3 matches
and took Dallas to 5 maps
dallas took them to 5 maps
and won
ya shouldn't ur logic make dallas better than lag
dallas is better than lag
no one is denying that
for now
Does it really matter
well yes
Shd will win anyway
his dreams are wrong
no but it cures my boredom
you see
true
haker shits on proper in grand finals
haker?
Opener doesn't make gf???
unfortunately mag forgets how to engage
lmao
- valiant has to get to gf
- proper has to get to gf
- haker needs to play out of his 4 partners
- nohill needs to not be promoted to god before then
tbh cant wait for apac
we'll see on saturday
the justice broke mag
smh
its like the ship of theseus
@hot onyx opener would win gf if he had a fdps without inconsistency and a mt who knows how to engage
off tank meta in gf?
opener would win if he was on sf shock
ot double hs meta justice 4-0 in grand finals
I want to watch fury play
mid
besides that
along with justice
???
the big 3 NA are shock dallas glads
i see what u did tehre
Justice are 4th
i see them beating Shock
I’ll take it
atlanta #1 when speedily becomes of age
do you predict them winning against sf?
Double fs is a myth
yes
lucio is the meta defining hero
good
for now yeah
Gladiators are getting better and better everytime the weeks go by
That is how team games work yes
keeping Patiphan benched showed it
Teams get better the longer they play together 😱
and seeing Ans adapt better
yes but Gladiators in particular is one team that needs extra development
Dva meta O_O
dva ball best two tanks in ow1
Now both are bottom three
Actually
Hog orisa might be worse
thoughts on ans uh soldier
mid
Reformed
still mid
good coaching and an S tier squad surrounding you does that to a mf with revolutionary mechanical skill
best lucio in the world
also
very solid
houston seems to being very into dantank
Astro trolled ilios it was kind of funny
reminds me of seagull tank
one troll makes him mid but multiple from Faith makes him A tier
beating after being hit with a bionade instead of taking clear cover is trolling
its kinda insane comparing roster sizes for each season how massive they can get
0 understanding of the game
beat
faith incredibly good
Also never called him mid
have faith
when he plays on a team above bottom 3 and performs well i'll believe it
but ms Myunbong overrated imo
You just don’t know what ur talking about lmao
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
you don't have any evidence that your analysis is constitutional
i have been on a podcast
therefor my opinion is more reliable
Ur opinion is the least reliable in this chat imo
i agree
Shoulda just gone for sgn gnj backline
👍
I mean u were wrong they’re in the same tier lol
no team is currently in the same tier of dogshit as Boston and Titans
London and Paris are
Valiant
Paris and London are a shit tier above
They aren’t
Paris tough schedule
and London beat both the shits convincingly
Paris are in their tier
but they're in the same tier
perhaps but if u can land fat nades
and hope kellan remembers how to dive
and yaki is yaki
then should be fine
You aren’t winning if you rely on a fat nade every fight
yes but myung does not
do fat nades
any fight
in fact he does not nade the enemy at all
well what else are you supposed to heal your team with?
your gun probably
primary fire
idk not an ana player
shooting your team mates is the dumbest thing i've ever heard
thats what ana and bap players
have 2 do
plus myung loves healing his team with his e
brig and lucio will be j for him!
which vc
owl
i recommend OWICC for players who want to play for their nation
?'
At long last:
The return of the Fusion Experience this week in the overwatch league.
copium time
Are the only Homestand in Dallas again?
No, Andy Miller tweeted that he is "Working on it" to a suggestion by Shock players to have a homestand
So as of now we have only had 1 homestand in Dallas
O_O
👍
What’s a homestand?
Can’t wait for Fusion and Valiant homestands
Yes
so then
the houston one wasnt a homestand
cause they didnt play in houston
it was a "homestand"
it was a neutral site in-person event
it's like how the super bowl isn't a home game for either team really
yes sure
God I wish
Still angery over the cancelled ones
Never misses
i had tickets to the wembley one
then covid hit 🤣
Some guy in the Fusion Discord said Belosrea is not bad
How can one man hold this much copium in one vessel without overdosing?
He's not bad
Bottom 5 is pretty bad imo
He just needs to work on his mechanics, positioning, hero pool, shotcalling, and ability management
Whereas Sado only needs to work on his shotcalling
sado is rumored to be retired
wait what
I had them for the nec, like 20-30 mins from me
Tell me you’re baiting
He's a fusion fan
The most copium I ever held was predicting them going on a big playoff run last season and finishing 3rd
Or winning grand finals in 2020 after a loser bracket run
That is copium
It is
But it was also very plausible since the meta was open
Or at least I thought it was
im not
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
i think they were
super team as in they had like top 5 players
all roles
i dont think u can deny that
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
That is horrible logic
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
Multiple players to cover all roles in a perfect rotation that covered all bases
Until they faced actual competition, where they crumbled
3-4 vs Eternal and 2-4 vs Shock
I would hardly call that crumbling
Still failed to win anything
ok guys
There have been 2 super teams in owl history
Shock and shanghai
Who both displayed absolute dominance in most regards
Early season 4 Dallas
Philly's only dominance was beating up an easy NA region for the season
2020 Fusion and 2018 NYXL disagree
s2 titans doko??
not top 5
Superteam doesn’t have to be dominance all around, they had top tier players covering every basis possible
I just don't care to give the title of superteam to a team that failed to win any title
Who’s that
Their bench was more talented than half the league
sans is disabled
Then your logic is flawed
No you're just a coping philly fan
"dw guys we were a super team, we bullied and easy ass region and lost everytime we faced good teams"
sans nan got me acting up
???
how was NA ez wtf
in s3 Na was not that great
guxue washed
agree
spark like 8th
chengdu 9-10
those were the standings
was so annoyed when they got cancelled
spitfire 9-10
agree
lol there were like 3 g ood teams in NA
fusion shock
and then the third one rotated
Philadelphia shock and company
pretty much
paris took a series off of philly and shock, florida never beat either I think
wait florida beat philly once
in may melee I think
it was an amazing rotating cast
you had what
mayhem eternal justice
justice was shit 90% of that season
justice being bottom 2 the whole year
then being the last rotating 3rd place out of nowhere
justice the last 2 years finished 6th and 8th overall copium
Yes
Superteam needs a ring
Btw
The 2016 golden State warriors
Were not a super team
Despite having the greatest NBA record of all time
They're not
They just played
Almost perfect basketball
Imo my definition of superteam you need enough star power
2014 spurs were a perfect example of the nohill effect
good not top 3 roster
greg popovich
dominate the whole year
nohill’s valiant be like
@next mesa
levy
do you know the valiant’s tank plan this year
it’s something I only have faith in a nohill team to do
I cannot believe I have found the dumbest OWL viewer and he’s not in esports-discussion
Belosrea cope
Best mt in apac apparently
Yes
every dps + sasin is focusing on their own 1-2 tanks @next mesa
depending on what they need
Phllyy championship szn
they rotate dps players on tank
Meanwhile valiant putting hitscans as tank
He my guy
Nohill coaching
Just a lil confused
yes i knkow
Gamsu has one of the most unique and incredible esports careers of all-time.
He's played in Korea, EU, and NA.
He's competed at tier 1 in LoL, then tier 1 in Overwatch, and now tier 1 AGAIN in LoL.
He's done this while becoming fluent in a different language.
What a baller.
Gamsu
Sadge
valiant will be the 2014 spurs
they will embarass the miami heat (shanghai dragons) in the playoffs
Valiant still embarrass
When they sold their slot
Imagine having a roster then drop for Chinese whomegalul players
“whomegalul players”
oh yeah because nobody knew who showcheng krystal highbee or wya were
or silver3
or molanran
none were whomegaluls
or that obscure
obscure is bananawolf
or sixfeet
the only one I've heard of is krystal and it wasn't for his capabilities as a player
lel
Bananawolf is not obscure
He went one on one with ZEST in a tracer duel
And killed him
not showcheng wya at least?
nop
showcheng had won the most recent contenders season and wya was an owl veteran
you really don’t pay attention to anything
do you
ohhh he was one of the 2020 charge players, that explains why I didn't know him
and I don't pay that much attention to contenders
you can agree sixfeet is though
still laughing at that one time an NA andy told me majed was on UP
Was he even on Uprising Academy?
lmfaoooo
What’s worse, underrating GA9A’s flexibility or saying Fate isn’t elite on orisa?
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
im nuking you
But at the same time
Fate would’ve likely been better if he had Rush NineK coaching with Xzi Sp9rk1e Hanbin FDGod Fielder
It’s a relevant and plausible take
He was
based
Void was #1
yes
Mid off tank from the Gladiators
I forgot fury
It did but they still won Countdown Cup
Twilight moment
With Choi zarya Rascal genji Striker/Ans sombra and Viol2t brig
It was
Just feels weird to say
But despite a weird zarya, Choi dva sigma was world class
Valiant
Spark
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
Shockingly
I do not
But on paper rosters kind of wonky this year
I like Lengsa
Say you don’t watch chinese contenders without saying you don’t watch chinese contenders
choi's zarya wasn't even bad lmao
the one time is was meta shock still won that tourney
it's such a dogshit opinion people have
Cope
Cope, choi > your favorite OT
My favourite OT is Hanbin
Choi>
Mid…
That’s simply an incorrect statement
Not uncommon from a Shock fan when discussing their own players
Lol imagine getting second…
yea sans knows all about that
That’s generous
when you get this
Last time Fusion came second this year was in the apac Countdown Cup knockouts
Casual
