Most of it is a horrible unsupported mess of an esport
Good thing Overwatch League hasn't proven to be an horrible viewer experience ☺
Open beta release date last I checked
But a good update regardless
It is, at least we've got an actual date for it
Ye even pros have spoken up but I think one got fined for it
@fuckitseominsoo funny story about that. when aspire joined toronto they originally messaged stellar but he was asleep and missed the dm. this isnt a joke im deadass.
Insane if true holy fuck
Were toronto in that much of a rush that a few hours was too long to get a player?
yeah that was sus
Ikr
I really don't believe an org is gonna give someone that little time to respond
Unless they were about to scrim and needed someone asap
i just watched the trailer
Yo those crazy blizzard bastards actually confirmed junker queen
PlayStation also gets ow2 right
no
Fck you
I can’t believe it
My goat was robbed
Your goat was a fraud anyways
My team is glads
Not lying
Bc we can afford to throw the big bucks unlike those frauds🤣🤣
chorong > proper tbh
That’s the perk of being owned by the weekend
It is funny how defiant are barely top 7
And u guys
In the NA region
Bc We wanted to give them some hope
Just wait until we sign heesang
jazzy is based
I will always root for seoul because smurf is the best tank in the league
Heesanf is going to shock
He told me himself
I like every Seoul player
Including profit (shockingly)
@twilit oriole Thoughts
Neck it
I disagree
Why
They are better than your "Rich team" as a poverty team
maybe but at least our players are interesting and marketed well and we also have someone
Smurf and not Fearless? Smh
MUZE is better
LOL
Somegoat>>>
No they didn’t
Fearless is an overly aggressive winston otp who needs hanbin babysitting him to function
That is objectively false
TD fan blinded
By results
It is sad
Objectively
Untrue
Muze is a top 7 reinguy
MUZE will finally get play time
Who do they face week 1
Defiant
Nvm just checked
Toronto will.go 1-5 this stage 🤣
Just hope justice doesn't boom and London continues getting lucky
TD beat spitfire
i heard heesang
objectively the best player contendors has rn
lmao why
Crusty needs to fill
The western player quota
And Heesang will replace the 9mm
Imo
Which is bad for crusty's quota
the fuck
It is true sadly
It is ranking
Of last stages
Performance
Still copiuming for chadi my king
They will be #1
They will have the GOATED dps line
of Proper Heesang and Mn3
Imo someone should sign vision
Imo
Coluge is a big
Ot
In owl
Regardless of region
Even though some individuals might claim
Clestyn is better
cuz he is
It is factually wrong
mr "eu >na" ntb
Imo
Fair
Overwatch with weapon inspect we have degraded 
So im assuming beta is back next week since they are aiming for october
“Hammer strike”
So it will run longer then 3 weeks?
no im assuming this beta ends july something
and then another beta starts august
and ends september
and then the game releases
Yeah
Even frdwnr could
Not that impressive
Imho
So they basically decided to save content for October unless the next beta is fucking bonkers like blizzard is back and kicking type shit
he couldnt
Ill play devil and if the next beta basically doesnt have the massive reworks promised its a failure 
whers OWL ?
it looks like a fortnut skin lmao
???
Why is this clip so impressive to you?? Just a dva eating a blizzard. Very commen occurence
SHUT UP
my grandma probs could
shut up
You couldn’t do that
In 100 attempts
Imo
Here is a list of off tanks who could do that
Cowman711
Icy
Vulcan
Frdwnr
Manneten
He couldn’t
unter sounds like a bronze lvl player to me
yes i could
its common for a mei to wall to try to avoid their blizzard getting eaten
You couldn’t
cap
HS players
Think off tank is impressive
Sadly
While off tank
Easiest role
In the game
Imo
it is
dva highest skill ceiling hero in the game besides echo
and echo is on a technicality
MT clears in difficulty
Disgree
Imo
97% of sig players
In owl are good
hardest to play at a pro level:
Tracer
OT
FDPS
MT
FS
HS
MS
tracer is not the hardest lmao
we have like 40 top tracer players
hero is just broken
she is
takes people an insane amount of time to learn tracer
everyone just
has 4 million hours
sparkle took one off season and was A tier instantly
no he wasnt
mechanics
lol
dva tracer 2 hardest heroes easily if you don't count the Echo technicality
hitscan
is far harder
than fs
lol
imho
I mean
fs is insanely easy
ow2 fs has to not feed hard
like you see krillin
great fs in ow1
dies 14 times per fight
cannot do shit without insane peel
it goes MT>OT>FDPS>FS>MS>HS imo
hs is definitely not the bottom
going from no experience to pro level
hs is much harder
than ms
pointing and clicking is the most easily grinded skill
it isnt
Hence why so many HS players lack brains
Main tank player btw
most easily grinded skill is IGLing
MT is not the hardest role
True MT is the hardest
It has easily the most diverse hero pool in terms of what and how you play
fdps?
Hence why 99% of MT players still cannot play every MT to an elite level
fdps hard but since it's dps still can rely on mechanics more easily
fdps most diverse but you can carry yourself with mechanics or be a specialist
cuz all mt players
are shit
lol
its an underpopulated role
Because it's a hard role
It is not
MT is hard in ranked play
But not professional play
Imho
imo
only wrekcing wheel
reinhardt
and 1/2 of monkay
Season 4 Mano is a prime example
Mechanically winston is only challenging when using primal
monkey neutral play easier than rein, but primal hardest ability in the game
But after watching players like StandDumb it made me realise that you actually need to use your brain with winston
2020 hog
only hard part
imo
is juiggling
maybe more like
1/5
of monkay
?
Agree
not really
engaging on monkey
Bubble requires overwhelming talent to use correctly
is one of the easiest things
in ow
every monkay
can get a decent engage
including rio
pulse bomb
is a very hard mechanic
Kevster agrees with that statement
Primal is consistently the hardest mechanical ability in the game
Pulse doesn't come close
nah
Imo If Blizz gets rid of primal
the difference in what you actually accomplish if you can properly control primal
is fucking bonkers
All the monkey one plays in owl
so much more than just sticking a tank
agree
it has a high
Would be exposed
skill ceiling
"I am alive and still around" versus "you are now where I want you because I said so"
winston ez hero jump press e zap zap ez win
ceiling wise primal probably highest ability
Can’t wait for Coluge to be rendered useless when blizzard removes a core ability in their game
No because he would still have his shift
Coluge is a sig one play
If anything
Looks good on monkay
Losing the jump button would not detriment winston that much at all
Because it is an ez champion
Also plays it on a team
With proper
Finn
And not skairipa seicoe
coluge does not look good on monkey
losing jump button means you cannot bhop after landing
He looks perfectly reasonable imo
so you cannot position at the edge of your bubble as well
Reminder that zoning blade master is no longer on the same squad as False
Dpay will run mirror on doom
There is no issue with MirroRfist
WINTON JUMP WINTON ZAP WINTON ULT WINTON NAP
dpei will carry titans
to another 1-6 stage
“Hey chump doom isn’t working I knew we shouldn’t put a dps on ta-“ MirroR has swapped to zarya (was doomfist)
and aspire into Darkmode NA
because their schedule is fucking brutal
Good opinions
reing
Or skairipa
His Ana
This year tho
Just a dick
To girls or something
Apparently why
Nobody signed him
Just cheats on them
Constantly
as opposed to farway
who is his fiancée’s man
also
cheating on women isn’t inherently sexist
it’s inherently assholish
flaming plats for not having common sense is assholish
not having common sense is assholish
fuck people who cannot explain basic decisions like swapping
well to be clear
if you’re like
bronze silver it’s okay
just like how you don’t flame 10 year olds
🤓
i love to play pharah into soldier widow bap ana
if your explanation is “I want to meme” or “I only play pharah”
more power to you
if calvin approves then I have no reason to doubt anymore 🙂
i don't only play pharah
i also play mccree, but i only use right click when doing so
bit of a flex god
the reasoning could also just be "i want to play this hero"
if you play a more optimal hero
then that’s not excusable
either meme or try your best to win
don’t act like you want to win and then basically meme while still saying you want to win
(he is a bastion main)
funny character coach for ed
after all
how 2 get better at junkrat @frosty patrol
i need to abuse this stupid character
before it gets reworked and fixed
junker queen > soujourn
junker queen thighs all natural
she better be
no synthetics like fraudjourn tbh
lmao k
When are we getting a monkey double tracer double ana meta
I meant for owl
there's nothing wrong with playing a subotimal hero as long as you are trying your hardest to win on that hero
is mangachu not more effective on torb than any other hero
is hadi not more effective on rein than any other hero
you went doom
true
we hard farmed their ana
imagine no limits ow1 brig 6 stack
yeah
idgaf if u wanna play some off meta hero
but u better actually try to win
pharmercy just wins
90 hp/s for the whole team plus packs
everyone who queues comp but doesn't try winning is immediately going straight to the lowest layer of hell
doesn't 145 hp/s mitigate most of pharah's damage
like those people are all wastes of existence
not if its like 2-3 pharahs
6 brigs can easily be countered by 5 monkeys and 1 lucio
that would be unkillable
if rally didn't stack you'd also just have rally up permanently cycling it

Playoffs and Grand Finals for the Overwatch League 2021 season are FIN...
roster hole gator
imagine 6 lucios
5 heal full time 1 speeds full time
6 lucios also lose to tanks
going goata would just roll 6 lucios
it would be funny
talking about what would be meta with no limits when its obviously going to be map dependent
we're talking about what 6 hero combination would be funny and broken
6 sombra
ow2 invis hack
make em keep thinking
6 hammonds
350 damage if they roll through one person
it's not 350
wtf
rein dva mei bap bap lucio
like how would you make that argument?
shock fans
true
if i were to play devil's advocate it would be something like they broadly succeeded under one composition that they played for a majority of the second half of the season
2021 shanghai would 4-0 london and shock when they won
but we all know using eyes that the players would've most likely won playing against any team and any other comp
I disagree that it'd be a 4-0 against shock
shock got like
their best possible meta but
in the 2021 playoffs meta who is playing the sombra and ball
on the 2020 shock
or the 2019 shock
2019 smurf orisa = 2021 fate orisa
2019 choi sigma << 2021 void sigma
2019 architect/striker reaper < 2021 lip reaper
2019 s*natraa doom = 2021 whoru doom
2019 moth lucio < 2021 ljg lucio
2019 viol2t moira > 2021 izayaki moira
Never fully tested in a wide range of metas, was allowed to stick to a very similar style an entire year
heyy that's what i said
I would argue they are the best dive team
Did shock have a hyperflex in 2019? Like fleta?
But in other comps, no, they aren't easily the best
architect
Honestly I thought he was a genji player
Didn't they have sinatraa
I saw him more of a tracer
And super
by nature of the game improving every season the 2021 shanghai dragons are easily the best team (in absolute, not relative terms) in overwatch history so far
played doom widow reaper tracer pharah junk bastion mei pharah etc
No
architect was known for his flexibility
You cannot in reasonable assumptions, say that a team that nearly one tricked a comp was the best team in all of OW
i can based simply on the level of play and coordination from the players
dragons did not one trick at all?
2020 shock was doing exactly what 2021 shd was doing
that they would skill diff any team from 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 or 2016
Sinatraa was kinda known for zarya and his tracer his tracer was fear my Korea during the world cup if I remember
they played a lot of monkey and some orisa
You are also greatly over exaggerating the difference in skill between one year for teams
s*natraa was known for zarya doom tracer genji basically
Oh ya forgot about doom
2020 shock are definitely not the best team of all time
the argument I could see is 2019 shock in relative terms
i mean can you say any team is the best of all time
and tracer
well i am talking about in absolute terms
best relative to their opponents? probably 2021 shd or 2019 shock
I think shock 2019 and dragons last season were probably two of the best imo
Best well rounded team for comps? probably 2020 shock
if 2021 shanghai dragons had to prep for and play an official match against another overwatch team from the OW1 era from any period
that they would win
everything below the head is peak
Just because dragons has huge pool flexibility
?
shock best bunker team
oh yeah lol because the best team of all time is totally dependent on whether or not they'd be good in a hog double sniper meta
shanghai best dive
also
2020 Shock clears
shock won 2/3 tourneys in their region that year still
nomegalul
get the fuck out
Ice cream
better 2x shield and rush, better monkey dive
shock won 2/3 tourneys that year in the globe
better on almost all roles and heroes, they would only loose under the ball meta
????
and it would still b e close
not in some region with 2 good teams and 1 other rotating good team
I feel like dragons just had very good synergy
just
this is getting a bit too gay
yeah shanghais players suck
Better then from what we seen from shock at peak
shock vs shanghai in say
That what makes them very good
yes
I will pretty easily say 2021 shd would have beaten most teams comfortably on dive
but for rush/poke, that isn't an easy choice
rush is def interesting
smurf better monkey, striker better tracer, rascal is a very flexible echo and was still pretty good, not fleta meta but still g o o d
but even then fleta mei is pretty good
though if it was ball/sombra yeah I'd take shanghai
Rascal ist top flexible imo
shock 2020 rush would beat shd pretty easily
He just picks up heros fast
fate rein would be uhhhhh
(2020 vs 2021)
Fate < Smurf
Void >= Choi
Lip = Striker
Fleta > Rascal
LJG > Viol2t
Izayaki =< Twilight
SHD understanding and fluidity > Shock understanding and fluidity
clears
def the weak link
he played more brig then some ms
the weak link is virgin crustT vs gigachad Moon
shock can run rush all they want shanghai just gonna run circles around themlike they did vs atl
forgetting moth
on rush I take shd on lucio cass dva and shock on rein mei bap
you want moth brig?
this is the monkey dva tracer echo dive
Lol moth brig
assumed you were comparing all players
that I'm comparing
whos shocks mei
rascal
oh yeah
even if they lose to 2020 shock gamer lord moon just loads up the shangAI and finds a way to counter their playstyle in the grand finals rematch
talking about rascal, architect used to be so good man
very flexible and good talent, shock had 2 very flexible dps for a bit
he was def very good
That pretty much what scary about dragons able to adjust different play styles
During matches
Lip/Moon/LJG and Fate are the primary concerns
how is LJG the concern
Boop
tower
cmon
even if he may feed his brains out sometimes
he is deadly
no but like
why do you mention LJG but not void
whose performance in 2021 easily better
lip and leejaegon were without a doubt the best players on their positions between 2020 and 2021
I mean the 2021 versions
2021 lip best hs of the 2 years
2021 ljg easily best ms of the 2 years
Void is one of the best off tank but I wouldn't say "OH SHIT BE SUPER WORIED ABOUT HIM" treat him with a shit load of respect and make sure to kill him when needed/when he is invested in
Void ist made to carry
Just carry the carrys
to continue
2020 shd was a lot more chimpy
LIP is one of the most dangerous HS ever jesus fuck, and his sombra is a beast, absolute monster gamer warlord, LJG is a menace when not feeding, force him to feed enough food that african children will never starve, Fate is the centerpiece of the ShangAI but he is not that good outside of ball and orisa
and Moon is a smart ass coach that can adapt the ShangAI a lot per map
Fate is just flexible
depending on the format shanghai can also just win via virtue of map picks
disagree but respectfully so
Like fleta he not made to be top just flex to different play styles and lead the dragons apparently
everything outside of orisa and ball is just good
depends what you want out of the ms
moth and ljg are polar opposite lucio playstyles
2020 moth is very significantly worse on brig and even the most delusional shock fan must agree is at least slightly worse on lucio
not top tier
Moth is just very good shot caller
2021 fleta was both top and flexible
but def not bad
people are just deniers unfortunately
moth was much more supportive on lucio
he was worse then 2020 Fleta
LJG traded off supportiveness for more individual pop off
are you saying moth is so good at mercy that it outweighs ljg brig lucio diff
His lucio was better for the shock
disagree
Who you want between the two depends on what comps you run and what other players you have imo
ljg lucio did more for dragons than moth lucio did for shock
dragons wanted ljg to int and kill 10
and as a result
they gg ez'd people
Moth was a far more supportive MS who could frag and never fed, LJG was far more fraggy but could feed like a maniac
Are we talking about the hog and sig meta that ow did last second?
and loose them fights
But for moth, he never had to do that for shock
take it like this
But he was able to take duels and pop off
yeah against teams they know they can beat they just let leejaegon press W on main
ljg has more impact objectively
measured aggression when u know u can get away with it
but if you want to argue feeding and comms sure
memeicus
how much of an igl is ljg
why would i know
Want more overall kills but could be the reason they lost? take LJG
Want more shot calling and comms and never be the reason they lose but be more team oriented? Take Moth
all i know is that void is the leadership figure
wait whos the captain for shanghai
you're the encyclopedia shanghai
To sum it up imo
isnit it ljg?
ljg has been the reason shanghai lost in 0 games in 2021
that is a very bad point for 2021 shanghai
tbh
he has def lost them fights
LJG just has a better hero pool and peak compare to moth who a better mercy and shot caller
Imo
sometimes man just INTS and in a Checkmate on Rein way
2021 leejaegon has more popoff potential which when u are considering teams at their absolute peak is more valuable
I take ljg cause he has an insane brig
the biggest point that makes 2020 moth not able to be better than 2021 ljg
ljg better for a dive team, moth a bit better for a rush/poke team I think
ljg has a phenomenal brig
depends Moth had a lot of pop off potential but it was more team synergy that allowed it
Lmao
One is more Team and the other is more individual
leejaegon doesn't need to peel as much because void is an artificial general intelligence
personally
2020 Moth V 2021 LeeJaeGon
Moth Mercy > LJG Mercy
Moth Brig < LJG Brig
Moth Lucio = LJG Lucio (Depends on team and comp)
if you want to say moth lucio is even
you have to realize
the mercy gap
is much smaller than the brig gap
ljg is a top 2 brig
moth is probably mid
LJG top 1 brig in 2021 IMO
skewed clears
That was skew if I remember
LJG was number two I think
Moths brig was never fully fleshed out really, and when he did have chances to play Skewed poped the fuck off
I rate him 2nd but basically even
wasn't skewed's map WR on brig like fucking 80% or something crazy
even then
this is
2020 moth
2020 moth's brig
much worse than 2021 ljg's
we can agree on that Openerfan4
what's leejaegon's winrate on brig?
^
69% funnily enough
don't know if we can agree with the other shit but can we at least say: Both MS are goated at their peak
rolled
but that's more a team diff part
da funni
Vindaim is soooo good
Can't believe my boy can play brig and lucio
jesus christ that kid is TALENTED
Instantly makes u top 5 MS in this league
crazy how he has like barely any pro play
wanna make a 5 team starter using only rookies?
sure
Reiner
like all star rookies
yes but ljg moreso
moth's relative peak is s2 imo
in s3 I rated him as the 3rd best ms overall but S tier
and that's his absolute peak
yes
During the playoffs
Moth
Gap
Tobi
Huge gap
Ljg
Astro
lucio I take ljg fastro
TANK: Reiner
DPS: Proper, Kilo or Mer1t
SUPPORT: FiNN and Vindaim
brig I take like 10 people
idk if proper should be with another fdps like Alphayi or hitscan
disagree
best rookie team is prob
reiner coluge mn3 proper alphayi ch0r0ng finn uv
Reiner/Proper/MN3/FiNN/Vindaim
best rookie team is actually muze shy pelican nisha mmonk skewed
wrong season
reiner
proper
zest
finn
chorong
I thought starting 5 but you know this works too
I just really like zest
Vindaim best rookie MS rn imo imo
based
absolutely
I take ch0r0ng
Zest is so good
vindaim is cracked
carrying his team
sad he's on Philly
Ah yes you take mn3
I think Vindaim has looked better
but both are top 3 overall on ms
a bit more fraggy then not
YO WHOS A HITACAN THAT CAN PLAY SOMBRA AND A ROOKIE
LIP
ROOKIE
MN3!
Yeah, MN3 can cover hitscan Proper can cover everything else
and both are good at those
go 2-3-3
season 3? ans is in there
zest for alphayi
Who is a fdps
forgot him
so yeah all star Rookie team is Reiner/Coluge/Proper/MN3/Alphayi and FiNN/Vindaim/Vigilante (3 Extras/Bench)
I forgot
I cant remember season 3
s3 rookie team I go
gimme a sec gonna look at the rookies
dreamer hanbin lip ans yaki leejaegon alarm fielder
dps could be changed
might drop ans for someone
like sparkle maybe
no cr0ng?
how tf could you ever drop ans from a season 3 rookie roster
I took hanbin as the 2nd best ot of season 3
only on the unfun character
behind void
Becuz lip is better
were there no good rookie mts?????
wym
hanbin better dva zarya
season 3 ans > season 3 lip on everything besides sombra
cr0ng slightly better sig
yeah and you know who was meta in season 3? 
Not on
cr0ng slightly better sig
The ashe
yes on the ashe
also you guys not mentioning xzi is very sad
