[trim shadow]

Was about to scream ILLEGAL

[willow drum]

@hot onyx u see that belosrea

[trim shadow]

So if ball is playable why no counter doom with him?

[willow tartan]

cause teams are bad at ball

[hot onyx]

Belosrea doing what he’s done for the past year in Contenders

Pog

[trim shadow]

To be fair teams have been bad at ball ever since he was created

Minus i guess chengdu

[frosty patrol]

wekeed gambler and esca, the true legends of seoul @hot onyx

[static pond]

Hunters?

[frosty patrol]

chengdu and shanghai

and valiant

fctfctn ball

[last nimbus]

Wait whoru is playing something else than genji

[willow tartan]

yes

he will play the genji on night market

[last nimbus]

Yooo

[trim shadow]

If i was a coach i would be trying to see how i can use ball as the main tank since u can play split and collaspe

[frosty patrol]

whoru is flexible

[static pond]

Lmao 2

[flat cedar]

Fusion actually trolling

[willow tartan]

[hot onyx]

Belosrea should not be in Overwatch League

[frosty patrol]

[trim shadow]

Hes know for genji but he can play dps

[willow tartan]

damn its control centre

[cloud latch]

hows it going yall

just woke up

[frosty patrol]

rip spark

[ebon aurora]

Sparkle has a better Doom, Tracer, Pharah, Sym - Genji is fairly even: Apart from Mei who else is Whoru better at?

[willow tartan]

i dont mean better at more heroes

i mean better at gaming

[last nimbus]

How can you know what sparkle is better at if whoru hasnt played any of those heroes

[frosty patrol]

Give me the whoru reaper genji mei sombra

[willow tartan]

whoru genji > sparkle genji this stage

unfortunately

[ebon aurora]

I'll give you that

[trim shadow]

Whoru’s sombra is passble

[frosty patrol]

by a full tier

[trim shadow]

But u have lip so

[willow tartan]

whoru is the best in the league at the japanese cyborg so far

[frosty patrol]

sparkle's sombra is also passable

but

whoru slightly better

[last nimbus]

Nice sleep

Lip threw

He teleported in front of ana

[willow tartan]

leejaegon's internet is feeding

[willow drum]

classic shd cope

/j

[frosty patrol]

how can you wallride perfectly in a dodging pattern to infiltrate their backline on ping

[willow tartan]

still does it better than viol2t

[willow drum]

that's 2 be expected

[willow tartan]

exactly

[willow drum]

if ur standards for a gf player

is that they are better

at their role

[willow tartan]

which is why shck should have signed a ms player

[willow drum]

than viol2t off role

[willow tartan]

no im saying that viol2t is ass

[willow drum]

then that is low standards

[willow drum]

at lucio yes

[willow tartan]

yes

so they should've signed an MS player

[frosty patrol]

@hot onyx hey look the philly fusion are getting quite close to a championship match

[willow drum]

its enough for wins

against low mid teams

[willow tartan]

not enough to go all the way IMO

[willow drum]

[balmy wolf]

[willow drum]

because you have

[dreamy cave]

Philly win this

[willow drum]

fixa aimgod

[dreamy cave]

Gg

[willow drum]

lmao

fixa aimgod

and belosrea

makes any dps line

look less potent

[willow tartan]

[dreamy cave]

They got comp countered like 2 times

[hot onyx]

FiXa actually using sound barrier before 2 team mates die

Unheard of

[willow drum]

he learned from viol2t!

[hot onyx]

It’s separates men from the boys

Men can perform at a top 5 level

With utter dogshit holding them back

[dreamy cave]

Boys will be backstreet

[restive nexus]

Why whore you not have camera?

Wow

Autocorrect really did him like that

[willow drum]

[restive nexus]

Whoru didn't have his camera on

holy shit

shanghai not lose moment

[brave zenith]

LIP

[north relic]

lip gaming

they touched that perfectly

[brave zenith]

now whoru needs to switch if the dragons want to win

[hot onyx]

Aimgod hit a sleep dart on a target that is so obviously about to ult challenge

(Impossible)

[willow tartan]

he used it?

[hot onyx]

Oh did he

[north relic]

he definitely used it

[hot onyx]

Bad sleep management

Then

[north relic]

lip is never ulting like that if sleep is online

[willow tartan]

fate was diving him

forced out probs

[static pond]

Nah they use there only survival ult dragons was going for a kill

But fate overextended and I don't think izay hit a nade

Fate taking leejag lessons

[brave zenith]

fate..

[willow tartan]

whoru best genji in the multiverse

[brave zenith]

what would shd do without whoru man

[static pond]

Why is fate overextending so much

[willow tartan]

huge collapse

[static pond]

Feta is ass

[willow tartan]

shanghai dragons have the highest map 5 winrate in the league

[north relic]

shanghai dragons making map five

seems kind of unlikely

[static pond]

Ya

Fate is hard throwing

[willow drum]

how do fusion

[brave zenith]

if they swap fate they have a chance

[willow drum]

get to the finals

lmaoo

[hot onyx]

ZEST IS THE BEST

[restive nexus]

Lmaoooo

[willow tartan]

?

he is the best

[static pond]

Genji is doing good

[hot onyx]

“I put ZEST in the same league as Lip” -nan

[willow tartan]

i checked through all universes

[static pond]

Fate is the problem

[brave zenith]

facts

he kept overextending, getting naded then dying

constantly

[willow drum]

fate needs 2 go

izayaki needs to land some nades

[willow tartan]

please sub

dragons

[willow drum]

ljg needs to stop watching viol2t

vods

[willow tartan]

i need you to not lose

[restive nexus]

Seoul won??? Let's goooo

[brave zenith]

BRING IN VOID!

[willow drum]

@willow tartan what is ur team doing

[static pond]

That map was all on fate

[willow drum]

i trusted in shd

[static pond]

He kept feeding

[willow tartan]

they were playing troll comps

[static pond]

Nah

[willow tartan]

wym nah

they were playing reaper genji winston on their attack round

[static pond]

They played a good comp there very good at

[willow tartan]

barely capped A

[static pond]

Fate just sucked ass

[hot onyx]

This entire series is “DPS Deadlift: The Musical”

[willow tartan]

no soldier means that mn3 can just free shoot

nothing to contest him

[restive nexus]

That's not too uncommon

[willow tartan]

not on eichenwalde bro

castle high ground is too strong to just ignore

[static pond]

Exactly the only change was reaper

[restive nexus]

Yeah

[hot onyx]

Lip WhoRU MN3 and ZEST cannot do more

[restive nexus]

Genji is great on eichenwald

[tropic herald]

No matter the outcome of this game Philly aren’t winning finals

[static pond]

Lip can switch off reaper

[willow tartan]

remove all the other players make it 2v2

[restive nexus]

Lip just has to carry way too much

[hot onyx]

Very very true Mr Fan #2

[willow tartan]

i mean we all knew that

fusion winning a title is so far beyond what my mind considers to be real that im not even thinking about it

[static pond]

Apac

[restive nexus]

Lmaoooo

[brave zenith]

aslong as shd brings in void they have a chance to reverse sweep

[static pond]

Seoul 1
Philly 2
Shg 3

[brave zenith]

or fate needs to get his shit together

[willow tartan]

Shanghai Dragons have the highest Map 5 Winrate in the League

[restive nexus]

Huh

[hot onyx]

To me Fusion winning is not a possibility until they get a support line that’s on the same level of skill as their dps

[willow tartan]

gibraltar

fate and whoru stays

presumably

[static pond]

Seoul just looks better overall then shg.imo

[restive nexus]

Seoul not winning isn't a possibility either

[static pond]

There playing to there strength

[restive nexus]

Seoul gonna win it all I bet

[willow tartan]

how?

they are going to lose to dragons again

[static pond]

Ya I'm betting on that

[restive nexus]

Good one

[brave zenith]

why is fate still in

it's not updated right

[willow tartan]

cause its gibraltar

monkey map

[static pond]

The lost to dragons was a close match tho

[willow drum]

HADI??

[brave zenith]

then the dragons have no chance

[ebon aurora]

it's not even the lower final today?

[willow drum]

yeah but somehow

[willow tartan]

this is winner's final

[ebon aurora]

it's lower QF and semis

[restive nexus]

Someone really guessed Mayham beats fuel 🤣🤣🤣

[willow drum]

yes i know

but hadi voted against sf

shock

that means sf dont win

very unfortunate

[ebon aurora]

so are they predicting that Fuel make it back to grand finals

or is that a misprint

[willow tartan]

how hard can LIP carry

[willow drum]

they are not

they are predicting that houston

makes it to grand finals

which imo is bit of fan behavior

[ebon aurora]

well the majority went for Fuel

[brave zenith]

as much as id want that to happen

[ebon aurora]

except for Chadi

[brave zenith]

it wont

[willow drum]

4 for fuel

2 for sf

1 for outlaws

oml

what is this

eu presence

[ebon aurora]

I think it'll be Fuel v Glads

Because they get 3-0 before going to map 5?

[willow tartan]

[willow tartan]

[willow drum]

[frosty patrol]

@willow tartan at least whoru is the best genji in the multiverse

[balmy wolf]

uh oh

[willow drum]

i agree

[willow tartan]

its true

[willow drum]

fate and izayaki

are just shit

[trim shadow]

Ah yea circle of suck effect in full swing

[willow drum]

like they're literally just shit

[restive nexus]

🤣🤣

[willow drum]

fate and izayaki are fucking trolling

[brave zenith]

yea idk what they were doing whatsoever

[hot onyx]

Hey everybody

[willow drum]

and leejaegon is feeding half the time

[frosty patrol]

in NA we saw just as much lunacy

[hot onyx]

9 map win streak vs Dragons

[last nimbus]

mn3 omg

gg

[willow drum]

you ready for fusion to win kickoff clash?

[willow tartan]

is void and fleta sick or something? why didnt they show up?

got covid?

[frosty patrol]

"top team" san francisco shock 3-1'd by reign

[willow drum]

fate's the shotcaller

[round shadow]

nobody say anything good about fusion 🙏

[hollow bough]

what the hell man .

[willow drum]

ok yes

agree

keep doubt fusion

[hot onyx]

Fuck no lmao

[willow drum]

they will prove us wrong

[willow tartan]

void has played before

[willow drum]

fusion will be reverse swept

by seoul

[willow drum]

so then @ coach moon

[willow tartan]

seoul arent even gonna go to the finals

[static pond]

I could Seoul beating shg tbh

[willow drum]

if shanghai show another terrible preformance

yes

[static pond]

See*

[willow drum]

they will

[willow tartan]

they wont

[brave zenith]

i have completely underestimated fusion

[frosty patrol]

lip + best genji in the multiverse might outweigh lip + fleta

[ebon aurora]

this whole season is going to be incredibly competitive

[willow drum]

imo izayaki

is just shit

[ebon aurora]

feels like no-one is going to dominate

[willow tartan]

they were playing whoru exclusively on mei tracer on map 1

idk if you saw that

[trim shadow]

Im pretty sure this is a complete bracket bust

[willow drum]

like izayaki is lowkey so passive on the ana

no impact on nades what so ever

[willow tartan]

they actually trolled first two maps

[willow drum]

izayaki is down to low A tier

imo

and Fate is down to low A as well

for me

[ebon aurora]

I had Dragons losing in the upper bracket final but against Spark

[static pond]

Ya agreed

[restive nexus]

0-42verwatch coming back???

[willow drum]

they just don't know what they're fucking doing man

[thin berry]

we just need a zen ball meta

[hot onyx]

FIXA!?

[thin berry]

ez wins for shd

[willow drum]

????

that was zest

fixa hello???\

[frosty patrol]

fate high B izayaki mid A imo

[brave zenith]

did they give him potm cus of his single kill on ljg lmao

[frosty patrol]

he still has the best zen in the multiverse

[willow drum]

so then yeah we have them the same ish

[willow tartan]

i have full faith in shanghai dragons to clutch up the victory tomorrow.

i have no fear.

[brave zenith]

at this rate

[willow drum]

okay!

[brave zenith]

ive lost most of my hope for shd

[restive nexus]

Man your jokes are on point today

[willow drum]

maybe shd would win.... if they had/were fearless @willow tartan

[split flume]

midless

[brave zenith]

and ive completely underestimated fusion

[hollow bough]

rough start for shd but i have faith they can bring it back, if not this tournament, maybe a future one

[willow drum]

true as well

but better monke

than SHD

[brave zenith]

i had them losing 1-3 to seoul in losers

lmao

[hollow bough]

even though im a supporter of seoul i'm 50/50 on them going to finals

[split flume]

smurf overwatch

[ebon aurora]

NA is going to be crazy later

[restive nexus]

In 1000/50 on it

[brave zenith]

seoul can compete w shd

at least from what we've seen

they could take it

[ebon aurora]

who do you guys think makes grand finals in NA

[brave zenith]

i wouldnt be surprised either

[restive nexus]

Glads gf 💪💪

[willow tartan]

Shanghai dragons feeling nervous as they enter the grand finals, they're soon down three maps. When all hope is lost, a knock on the door is heard. T-Mobile saves the day as they install internet so fast that the dragons can see into the future. The Shanghai Dragons complete the reverse sweep and are crowned kickoff clash champions.

[split flume]

glads/dallas

[hollow bough]

I still think seoul is a coin flip if they win or not

[ebon aurora]

yeah I agree, I want to see that rematch

[restive nexus]

Los Angeles Dadiators are gonna win it all 💪💪

[brave zenith]

i wanted sfs vs dallas but shock got overwhelmed and folded and ruined my pickems

[ebon aurora]

it could still happen as the last match tonight

if Fuel and Shock both win

[restive nexus]

Same I had shock beating gladiators in winners finals then gladiators winning grand finals

[brave zenith]

true

[hollow bough]

what do u guys think abt the shock game

[north relic]

shock suck

[hollow bough]

i think coluge got a little too big for his pants and started to ego pick really hard

[ebon aurora]

if Shock play like yesterday, I can see Houston winning

Dallas actually played well against Glads but got outplayed at the end

[restive nexus]

Shock seems like an online team

[willow tartan]

onliners ikr

[brave zenith]

who knows though, maybe ill get what i want

[hot onyx]

FiXa dying first multiple fights and uses his sound barriers on time like a normal player and it’s a POTM moment

[brave zenith]

we still have the rest of today and tomorrow to find out

[ebon aurora]

I do wonder how much of a factor home advantage might be for Fuel if they make it to grand finals, considering they'd have just played lower bracket final immediately before

[willow tartan]

Compared to his previous performances it is an MVP-level improvement

[hot onyx]

Good point

[ebon aurora]

Either they'll be fatigued or they'll be warmed up - could work both ways

[restive nexus]

Fuel outlaws rematch in losers finals 👀👀

[ebon aurora]

pretty sure there were a few times last season the team that played back-to-back matches actually won right?

[willow tartan]

yes

the shanghai dragons in the june joust

[ebon aurora]

Didn't Reign win back-to-back matches in playoffs as well to make grand final?

against Shock and Fuel?

[willow tartan]

yes

[ebon aurora]

so whoever makes grand final from lower bracket might have momentum

[willow tartan]

when dragons did it though it was a sweep vs atlanta so its not like they just played a clutch map 5 series beforehand

[obtuse violet]

Did you see the fusion vs dragons match that just happened?

[willow tartan]

yes i watch the overwatch league

[willow tartan]

i think there might be a fine line where if you end the first match quickly it's an advantage but if it drags on it's a disadvantage

since you could be potentially playing 10+ maps of overwatch back to back

[willow drum]

and generally

in the losers finals and grand finals

[ebon aurora]

Reign won 2 back-to-back series 3-1

[willow drum]

the teams are all extremely great

so if they were at that level

[ebon aurora]

so they weren't even particularly short series

[willow drum]

then they would have been close

[willow tartan]

except if its playoffs

we have never had a close post seeason playoffs ever

[willow drum]

agree

[willow tartan]

idk why its so common in esports in general to just not have close finals

like didnt league not have a close worlds final until 2021?

and theyve been playing for 10 years

[ebon aurora]

2020 finals was fairly close

but yeah everything else has been a stomp

[lost thicket]

2020 was the best for that

[ebon aurora]

feel like this year is different due to how much closer the teams seem to be

[willow tartan]

the only esport i know that's consistently had close finals throughout its existence is csgo

CS in general really

[ebon aurora]

like no team this year feels like they're going to dominate

[lost thicket]

CS:GO is a lowkey fav of mine

[willow tartan]

but with so many years of play you're bound to have close finals

[lost thicket]

cause of how competitive it is

[willow tartan]

yeah

CS has an incredible amount of variance

i feel like CS is a game that you can't dominate as much in if you're good since at the end of the day it boils down to who's on fire

[flat cedar]

Please don’t loose tomorrow phily

[willow tartan]

as compared to a game like OW

[hollow bough]

As much as I hate playing csgo I love watching the esport, and I especially love that they integrated the replay viewer directly into the game so you can spectate whoever you want while watching the stream

[flat cedar]

I can already see the copy pastas

[restive nexus]

Does the winner of losers finals have to beat Philly in 2 sets in a row?

[hollow bough]

pickems integrated directly into the game

[willow tartan]

of course there's been dominant CS teams but astralis and fnatic are the only CSGO teams to have claimed back to back majors

[willow tartan]

there's no bracket reset

[restive nexus]

Wow

[lost thicket]

CSGO is so good cause it's over all very fair, I just hate how sometimes I cross a corner and get one tapped instantly but that's just skill issue kekw

a lot of the pros are unbelievably good in the game

[willow tartan]

not to mention they have a functioning tier 2\ scene

[willow drum]

💀

something ow needs to have

i think the csgo esports is prob the best

out of all of em

its just the t2 scene in ow

so bad man

[willow tartan]

i enjoy CSGO esports the most yes

[willow drum]

unbelievable

[willow drum]

like imo its most competitive

most organized

most entertaining

yeah

[willow tartan]

i am also a pea brain that cant watch league

because i appreciate the FPS shoot and click

and the funny flicks

[thin berry]

i mean league is pretty simple

[ebon aurora]

see you all later for NA

[thin berry]

just booom boom flashy colors and one team dies

[vagrant jacinth]

I only watch owl and siege

[willow tartan]

you know how in overwatch you need to know how 30 different heroes all interact with eachother with abilities and ult combinations and shit like that to make up so many different team comps in the game?

[willow drum]

that sums up

overwatch

and valorant

as well

[willow tartan]

now do that but with league's 170 champions

how does that work

[hollow bough]

idk how league is so big

[thin berry]

they only play like 30 of them tho

[vagrant jacinth]

That's a lot of champions holy

[split flume]

it's like 12 years old and free

and can run on a potato

[thin berry]

and what other moba would you play

[willow tartan]

dota 2 is like league except nobody plays it for fun

[hollow bough]

Ig I'm outside of the whole moba genre since I never got into it or consumed any moba content

[willow tartan]

yes i basically only play fps games

moba games hurt my wrist too much

[hollow bough]

I don't see the appeal, have always seen fps games more appealing to play and watch

[willow drum]

agree

[willow tartan]

the characters are hot

[willow drum]

fps is just

i see head

i shoot

i win

or sometimes i lose

[hollow bough]

is that it

[willow tartan]

yes that is what i want out of a video game

monke see monke doo

[tropic herald]

Booba idk I’m not a moba player

[lost thicket]

FPS > RPG > MOBA

those are ranking game types I like

[willow tartan]

what about an FPS MOBA

id play that

[lost thicket]

hmm sounds familiar

[split flume]

that was overwatch circa late 2018 to late 2019

[willow tartan]

if only they made one

[hollow bough]

what does moba even mean

[willow tartan]

multiplayer online battle arena

[hollow bough]

multi-player online battle arena

okay

i don't know what that means lol

[willow tartan]

its multiplayer its online

and the players are in an arena

where they battle

[hollow bough]

Isn't that all games

[static pond]

Fps moba battleborn

[willow tartan]

they arent always in an arena

or battling

[static pond]

That a arena shooter

[hollow bough]

what makes ow not a moba

[thin berry]

i mean realistically people consider a game a moba when you have like lane based combat and objectives with some sort of shop system or whatever

[willow tartan]

its not in an arena

[static pond]

Then what is.it.in?

[willow tartan]

a map

[hollow bough]

then what is an arena? I'm rlly uneducated about this story

sorry

[willow tartan]

an arena is like a place made to fight in

[static pond]

It just like a circle nap

[willow tartan]

the streets of london is not made to fight in

[static pond]

Map*

[willow tartan]

yes

[hollow bough]

god.

[static pond]

Lawbreakers was a arena shooter

Shit died fast af

Sucked because it was fun

[willow tartan]

anyways its quite unfortunate that battleborn died so fast

it had potential

devs are suck

[static pond]

Split gate is a arena shooter

[lost thicket]

Match 5 APAC is Dynasty v Dragons right?

[willow tartan]

in lower finals

then grands after

[hollow bough]

splitgate was a fun game without much potential imo

[willow tartan]

splitgate was fun until i hit a rank where i got shit on

[static pond]

Lmao

[lost thicket]

I feel like Dragons will win the torny

[willow tartan]

they will

[lost thicket]

Dragons win against Dynasty then against Fusion in a close match

cause if the scriptwriters love anything

it's Fusion being Second place

[mortal cipher]

because the fusion curse never ends

[willow tartan]

the script writers also love seoul vs shanghai matchups

this is going to be the third time in two weeks

[lost thicket]

watching the match and read the reddit thread, for Dynasty v Spark match

so many people said Changgoon was throwing pretty much

[willow tartan]

yes

bernar dva

[lost thicket]

Bernar should be played for the Zarya

Guxue for every MT

Lige for Dva and Sigma

[restive nexus]

I remember that game. My dad bought me that when I asked for overwatch a few years ago

[willow tartan]

rolled

[restive nexus]

Lol

Oh my gosh

That was 6 fucking years ago

[ebon aurora]

Guxue*

[lost thicket]

I forgor kekw

my bad yeah

[hot onyx]

Smurf over Goosh would be nuts

[lost thicket]

when I think of Dynasty bad choices I think Changgoon so I guess I got mixed up

[mortal cipher]

all due to philly

[hot onyx]

Mine are boomed because Spark decided to pull a June Joust 2021™️ and play off meta when it mattered

[mortal cipher]

mine are boomed because after trusting philly 3 games and getting burned the one time i dont they do well

[ebon aurora]

In fairness I had Dragons losing upper bracket final but I had it 3-2 against Spark LOL

[mortal cipher]

same

i had spark winning agains fusion

[ebon aurora]

think most people did

considering Spark chose them

[mortal cipher]

i was burned three games straight against the fusion

[ebon aurora]

how is your NA looking

[mortal cipher]

only atlanta and dallas game are wrong

so only 2 wrong so far

[ebon aurora]

yeah my upper bracket/grand final was Fuel v Shock

that's now impossible

[mortal cipher]

mine is dallas v glads

[ebon aurora]

grand final?

[mortal cipher]

yeah

[ebon aurora]

what score?

[mortal cipher]

4-2 fuel

[ebon aurora]

yeah I had 4-2 Fuel against Shock

[mortal cipher]

i went for a spicy pick

[ebon aurora]

you think it will be Fuel v Glads still?

[willow tartan]

i predicted atlanta fuel finals

[mortal cipher]

ooh

i was thinking atlanta or glads for a spicy pick

[willow tartan]

(fuel wins)

[ebon aurora]

So for Fuel to make grand finals, they need to beat Florida, Shock/Outlaws (today) and then Reign/Glads tomorrow and then play the grand finals straight after

man that's a tough run

[mortal cipher]

fuel goes through losers

[willow tartan]

home crowd advantage

[ebon aurora]

you think they will?

[willow tartan]

yes

[ebon aurora]

yeah I think the crowd will play a big part

[mortal cipher]

its still possible

[ebon aurora]

especially if they get to grand final

[willow tartan]

losers run just like the shanghai dragons

[mortal cipher]

just hard

[ebon aurora]

even playing back to back matches, if they get through lower bracket they'll have momentum

even if they're fatigued

would a tired (but hot) Fuel be able to beat a refreshed Reign/Glads, idk

[north relic]

guys i want your opinion

does this look like cheating

[mortal cipher]

more like skill

[ebon aurora]

what rank

[north relic]

its plat

[mortal cipher]

ah

[ebon aurora]

were there any really sus shots?

[willow tartan]

cld be just smurf

[north relic]

they were 5 stars

[ebon aurora]

at that level? Seems unlikely

[north relic]

and claimed their main was 3100

[ebon aurora]

without seeing footage it's hard to say

[north relic]

none of their shots were sus imo

[fathom igloo]

I'm still getting over that pelican win last night

[north relic]

but the rest of my team were claiming they were hacking

imo they are just salty

[mortal cipher]

i mean cheating is prtty common up there

[willow tartan]

yuno

OWL has never had a cheating scandal

wonder if there are any haxers

[mortal cipher]

yet

[north relic]

there is a haker

[willow tartan]

just not caught monka

[static pond]

Apparently there was a underage scandal

Where someone pretty much lied about there age

To get into owl

Or something

Source is sideshow so don't believe it lol

[visual cloud]

Just a q, since Fusion is undefeated in the Grand Finals does that mean they have protection? Like they would have to lose 2 series in the finals to actually go out?

[cunning patrol]

spark suck

[north relic]

shock suck

[tidal marsh]

The final for the kickoff clash is a best of 7 fusion need to beat the winners of the losers brscket to claim victory for the kickoff clash in the east

[tropic herald]

They get the advantage of not having to play two series in a row

[full lichen]

Dallas Fuel vs Florida Mayhem is gonna be a banger

[tropic herald]

I want a live replay of the MN3 triple headshot on Gibraltar

[static pond]

Is Winston owl skin is for the finals?

[sullen berry]

For watching 5 hours across all 4 days of the Kickoff Clash, doesn't need to be the finals

[static pond]

Didn't they have his skin already?

[sullen berry]

can't remember

[static pond]

Thought it was last year lol

[sullen berry]

you should have it if you maybe paid for the All-Access Pass when it was around on Twitch

not the OWL skin

might be thinking of the contenders one?

[cunning patrol]

L

[static pond]

Ya maybe

[cunning patrol]

@cedar oasis audio being weird hold on

[willow drum]

[willow drum]

[twin bloom]

Fusion would get stomped by every top NA team

It is funny

[cunning patrol]

Shut up

[sullen berry]

remember, your pickems are as good as the hosts

[willow drum]

agree lmao

exct houston

[forest token]

I got houston and mayhem

I had too much faith in fuel fixing their monkey comps

[twin bloom]

Anyone with a brain preded houston and mayhem

Imo

[forest token]

apac I'm just boomed

[willow drum]

i predicted td

i hate doom tank

and also my love

for finale muze

[forest token]

it works against bad teams

[willow drum]

overshadowed

my hate

[forest token]

and uhhhhh

yeah

[willow drum]

against kdg coach

grrr

[twin bloom]

Opposite for me

Imo

[cunning patrol]

Shut up

Toronto shoulda won

[twin bloom]

But they didn't

[cunning patrol]

Shut up

[forest token]

should they have

should they really have

[twin bloom]

Almost lost a map to piggy rein

🤣

[cunning patrol]

They won that map

[forest token]

man I really don't like the genji/zar over the reaper/zar here

[twin bloom]

They almost didn't

[cunning patrol]

Imho

[twin bloom]

Because piggy is only slighly worse than muze on rein

Sadly

[cunning patrol]

Mayhem beating happy and friends

Not a surprise

[willow drum]

agree

[twin bloom]

I agree

[cunning patrol]

So

[twin bloom]

On that statement

[cunning patrol]

Moose > piggy > gator

[twin bloom]

Ok

[cunning patrol]

On reinguy

[willow drum]

imo shock should have won against reign

made one 2 many quiestionable ults

[cunning patrol]

Imho happy kind of mid on legs

[twin bloom]

Imo that is copium

[willow drum]

agree, better on teh hard HS

[cunning patrol]

It isn’t

[forest token]

what is with genjis and burning dash before they have a kill during blade

I don't get it

who was it yesterday that I was thinking was better than sparkle

[cunning patrol]

They don’t expect the first slash to kill

Lol

[forest token]

if they don't expect the first slash to kill why dash first thing

why not hold dash and just slash at first

[idle beacon]

interesting that s76 has so much playtime now .. WHERE IS AKM's COMEBAQ ????

[cunning patrol]

So the dash kills them?

Lol

[twin bloom]

No ot

To mark

[forest token]

but it doesn't

[twin bloom]

Gim

[forest token]

like

my problem is they dash when they don't have a kill lined up

[idle beacon]

what?

[forest token]

instead of just slashing

checkmate

that's the guy

honestly rating him higher than sparkle rn

[idle beacon]

i think those genjis don't mind the dash as much as going for the targets their team are focusing on

[forest token]

dash makes blade so much more of a threat

as long as you have it up you have your burst combo and can dash to switch targets

but they aren't

which is why they aren't dying

[idle beacon]

you mean dashing when using blade?

they waste their dash while blading?

[forest token]

blading and dashing when they don't need to

[idle beacon]

🤦🏾‍♂️

[forest token]

checkmate's blades on gib actually were intelligent

and didn't just offer free chances to shut them down

[idle beacon]

i think those owl players aren't really much of a genji main player .. like whoru and so on

[forest token]

and then I see sparkle going for the same blade setup every time and then getting slept out of it because no fucking shit

sparkle is very much a genji player

which is why I'm so disappointed in him this szn

but yeah most players who're on the genji aren't actually genji specialists

[idle beacon]

PROFIIIIIIIIIT

[forest token]

man I really think the zar comp is being overrated

esp in apac

[idle beacon]

there arent much zaryas in ow2 owl.. bernar .. and ehm? .. i mostly saw monke

[forest token]

apac has been really liking the zarya

smurf was also playing the zar on attack

the canada push map is typically mirror zar in apac

[idle beacon]

well zar is a great tank 🙂

[forest token]

the italian push map is also trending towards mirror zar, now with hanzo as a counterstrat to the zar

she's fine when charged

I just don't think teams have fully figured out how to play around them and draw them out

[north relic]

I think

Pro overwatch league players know how to play genji better than armchair analysts

[idle beacon]

armchair .. like all those pro players dont have armchairs? 😄

what a douche statement

[vagrant jacinth]

Untrue

[forest token]

so when I watch a genji prime a blade like shit, then have to burn dash to get to his targets, then gets booped and everyone runs away and he ends up swinging at air for 6s instead of just dashing more at an angle and being able to wallclimb up without burning dash

that must have been the correct play

since he is the professional player

[static pond]

Wait do some players not have arm on there chairs?

[forest token]

and when I watch another genji take those steps when blading and find 3 kills for it, the two genjis must still be of equal skill, because they both are pro genji players

I don't, my arms are too long so for my setup to be comfortable I have to remove the armrests so I can raise my chair high enough

[vagrant jacinth]

Why would you not dash first? Its get reset after hitting blade

[north relic]

Boop

[forest token]

because if you can't secure the kill then you lose your dash

[north relic]

normally saving dash for last second until all cds are used

[forest token]

which means you're piss easy to shut down

[static pond]

Has titans even signed a new coach yet?

[frosty patrol]

1. overwhelmingly likely before the announcement

2. not publicly

[static pond]

Well rumors it depi

[next mesa]

Seoul sweep

As expected

[mortal cipher]

yeah

[cunning patrol]

Real

#sparksuck

[willow drum]

agreed

spark bad team

[frosty patrol]

#fusion2ndplaceagain

[north relic]

fusion better get second

It will be comical

Also they better sub carpe in for the final map

if they win

[next mesa]

Fusion sweep hahaha
