@tropic herald

[plush grail]

[hot onyx]

You do it

Also this one is the reverse one

Ponce

[plush grail]

ponce?

[vagrant cargo]

so real...

[fathom igloo]

I like this new girl but I still miss soe

[balmy wolf]

yeh

[fathom igloo]

Facts

[balmy wolf]

she should be back for countdown tho

[frosty patrol]

Honestly if toronto went with onigod instead of finale maybe they would've been in a better spot

[fathom igloo]

Maybe maybe not

[twilit oriole]

Oni is western

[fathom igloo]

If she has her child this week then maybe

[balmy wolf]

well shes coming back

oh

wait

i thought she was having a kid like the week of or after she left

[plush grail]

incredibly based take

[plush grail]

nah

she has a bit left

[balmy wolf]

then she has a while

[plush grail]

im pretty sure at most like 2 weeks

[balmy wolf]

maternity leave here is 9 weeks

i think

[mortal cipher]

Yeah

[fathom igloo]

Ok so soul beats ATL
Hou beats toe
Philly beats Dallas
Lon beats fl

[mortal cipher]

Nah

[balmy wolf]

almost

[fathom igloo]

My predictions

[fast tusk]

reign slaps seoul 3-1

[mortal cipher]

Not likely

[fathom igloo]

Philly I believe in you

[frosty patrol]

soe may rush coming back quickly

she genuinely likes her job so like

[balmy wolf]

atlanta 3-0
hou 3-1
philly 3-2
lon 3-0

[fast tusk]

seoul played shit yesterday that was embarrassing

[balmy wolf]

just my daily dose of atlanta copium

[plush grail]

ehhh i doubt it

[balmy wolf]

its okay

[balmy wolf]

thast why is 9 weeks

[fathom igloo]

What is this talk

[balmy wolf]

9 weeks is on the lower end

usually it is like 11 or 12

[mortal cipher]

Yeah but so did Atlanta but Seoul is different than Atlanta

[balmy wolf]

yeah but im in atlanta

so they win

simple logic

[fathom igloo]

COMEBACKABLE

[mortal cipher]

Ah home advantage

[balmy wolf]

yeh

i wonder why london didnt try to force rush at all

it was suprising

[fathom igloo]

Coluge rein?

[balmy wolf]

no

london play it

[fathom igloo]

That's the only reason

[balmy wolf]

oh i ge tu

[keen abyss]

ovilee

has good vibes

i was not expecting this

[fathom igloo]

But then you have crusty download it

[worn hornet]

These Mean Girls references are getting out of hand

[fathom igloo]

And yeah

[mortal cipher]

Loo

[vagrant cargo]

Yes

[mortal cipher]

Possibly

[balmy wolf]

i mean

they would have been better

[mortal cipher]

Tru

[balmy wolf]

but i dont think they would doa anything with it

[vagrant cargo]

My pred is london Seoul Toronto Philly winning

[balmy wolf]

cause its not like toronto is suffering from a lack of talent

[mortal cipher]

Maybe Paros would be better if they kept onigod

[vagrant cargo]

I hope Atlanta wins instead of Seoul tho

[balmy wolf]

yeh

dont hope

know we will

[vagrant cargo]

I dislike Atlanta

[balmy wolf]

💪

why

:(

[vagrant cargo]

But Seoul flopping would be mad funny

[mortal cipher]

Yeah

[vagrant cargo]

Annoying ass players

[warm helm]

Seoul threw to demolish the lower bracket

[vagrant cargo]

Except kai and venom

[balmy wolf]

its only 1

[vagrant cargo]

And UV tbf UV has been class

[mortal cipher]

But the likely isn’t high

[balmy wolf]

and i hate him too

[vagrant cargo]

Nah ojee has been shittalking for ages too

And hawk is a crybaby

[balmy wolf]

tons of players shitalk like ojee

gator is the only one i dislike

but i dislike him a lot lot

[vagrant cargo]

I ain't talking bout the official stuff

[balmy wolf]

ik

players always shitalk on twt

[vagrant cargo]

Anyways

Kai or happy to glads next season

make it happen

And Atlanta get hydron

[mortal cipher]

Shittalking has been a thing in games for years

[balmy wolf]

that would hurt them i think

[vagrant cargo]

I'm not complaining abt the shittalk

[balmy wolf]

kai would need the glads to revolve around him

and that wouldnt happen

[mortal cipher]

Ah ok

Just checking

[vagrant cargo]

I just like to see players w big egos flop

[vagrant cargo]

Disagree

[mortal cipher]

lol

[twin bloom]

Egoes are a good

Thing

[vagrant cargo]

Yes

[twin bloom]

Imo

[balmy wolf]

yeh

[mortal cipher]

Major egos are bad

[balmy wolf]

only ego that i think is a problem recently was gators

[vagrant cargo]

But seeing ppl w egos get humbled is even better

[balmy wolf]

but gators ego just dissapeared

[vagrant cargo]

Also I forgot abt Nero he's a chill dude but his fans pissed me off last season

They went crazy googoogaga mode when I told em Nero ain't a title winning fdps starter

[mortal cipher]

There’s a difference between ego abd then egos to the point of it becoming a problem

[mortal cipher]

Basically shock fans hating the new players

[vagrant cargo]

No

Exact opposite

Ppl overrated him like crayzy

[mortal cipher]

Rlly???

I thought he was good

I mean most fans blamed him and Fd for their loses

[vagrant cargo]

He was solid

But not top tier

[mortal cipher]

Yeah

[vagrant cargo]

And ppl claimed he was top tier

[mortal cipher]

Top tier is too much

I’ll say like below top

[earnest leaf]

I don't think many people realistically rated him top tier

Always had nero around A tier

[mortal cipher]

If they did they got disappointed

[keen abyss]

god

[mortal cipher]

[fast tusk]

youtube chat hates reiner and thinks hes cringe

[twin bloom]

It is shocking to see reiner beloved amongst

The owl communtiy

Yet his shit talk is very simillar

To the avg atl player

Whomst the community is not a fan of

[earnest leaf]

because it's hard to shit talk someone who always wins

[mortal cipher]

Tru

[cunning patrol]

Reiner

Is a degenerate

And deserves hate after he dabbed

On stage

Imo

[fast tusk]

lmao

[twin bloom]

Why did he do that

That was shocking

Coming from reiner

Imo

[plush grail]

what are they doing

[cunning patrol]

It was a sad time

[fast tusk]

honestly him joining atl is perfect

[cunning patrol]

Imo

[twin bloom]

He should imo

Is just AT

With kai and hawk

At that point

[willow drum]

happy birthday alarm

[mortal cipher]

And poko and backbone

[trim shadow]

Seoul atlanta last game of the day

My anxiety

[fast tusk]

ye

[mortal cipher]

Lol

Fr

[fast tusk]

i have no fear for atl

in that match

[trim shadow]

Its like you want to support your home team

[mortal cipher]

But also

[trim shadow]

But dont want to watch them@get beat up

[mortal cipher]

It’s like you want but fully know that they are playing a significantly better team

[trim shadow]

Not even significantly better

2 tiers above

[mortal cipher]

It’s like such a skill gap

[trim shadow]

Probably outmatched in every pos outside of main support

[mortal cipher]

Yeah

Even then

[fast tusk]

they are better but in this tournament they drop the speghat

i truly dont see a way atl \lose that

[trim shadow]

Its like a jrpg
Level 1: london
Level 100: Seoul

[mortal cipher]

Honestly

It’s like you go into a level and you are not ready for skill and rank wise

[tropic herald]

Happy Alarm Day 🖤🧡

[trim shadow]

Tryna fight the final boss while naked and only have a stick to defend you

[mortal cipher]

Link fighting ganon without anything

[trim shadow]

Trying to beat senator armstrong in a fist fight

[mortal cipher]

Yeah

Going into a match that says recommend level 20 and you are like 5

[fast tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/davonne-rogers-pretends-to-be-shocked-surprised-gif-6175133

[fast tusk]

XZ

[mortal cipher]

That’s rough

[north relic]

why are they mirroring rush

[mortal cipher]

You’d think teams would’ve learned by now

[willow tartan]

someone is a good rein

[worthy lynx]

Man i dont want either team to go home

[north relic]

ratio

[mortal cipher]

He may be good against rein but is he against the best rush team

[plush grail]

xzi throwing

[mortal cipher]

Oof

Miss OC

[north relic]

i dont understand

unless you are a top team

you shouldnt be mirroring at all

[mortal cipher]

at all

[willow tartan]

shanghai would have won

[mortal cipher]

Yeah but that’s Shanghai

[gloomy vector]

honestly ball could be good against london

[willow tartan]

LIP subs in on tank position

[mortal cipher]

Lol

[willow tartan]

whoru comes in to mei and fleta hitscans

[mortal cipher]

Lip on tank

[plush grail]

imagine being a overwatch league coach who gets paid to come up with strategies and for some reason u decide ''ah yes let's mirror rush vs london''

[twin bloom]

Free the dron

[twin bloom]

I know a teams

Whose rush

[willow tartan]

it could also be the players

[twin bloom]

Is better

[willow tartan]

who were like

[mortal cipher]

Let’s play London on rush nothing bad could happen

[willow tartan]

yeah we canw in

[twin bloom]

Imo

[vagrant cargo]

Hadi owns mayhem

[north relic]

like who

[willow tartan]

shanghai dragons

[twin bloom]

Agree

[gloomy vector]

pharamercy is so boring ngl

[twin bloom]

I still find it funny

[mortal cipher]

Depends how you play it

[twin bloom]

Outlaws beat

London

On rush

Lol

With piggy rein

Lastro lucio

[mortal cipher]

Piggy was getting diffed tho

[twin bloom]

Agree

[willow tartan]

pelican can play ball

[mortal cipher]

Yeah

[twin bloom]

Which makes it worse

That they lost

[north relic]

they had two gods at rush

[mortal cipher]

Yeah

It was more every other player making sure they didn’t lose the map

[twin bloom]

Also pascal>the jed

Apparently

This is the first game landon

Faces a worse FS

Than him

[plush grail]

was it majed or rupal who had like 300 deaths after 2 months of play

[twin bloom]

Majed

Majed was perma dead

[mortal cipher]

Prtty sure majed

[twin bloom]

On moira

In the boston game

[willow tartan]

why are spitfire playing like shock and ignoring the pharah

[mortal cipher]

Majed was too aggressive

[twin bloom]

It was sad to see

[fathom igloo]

my brother knows rupal

[twin bloom]

Ok

@vagrant cargo Majed or skairipa?

[north relic]

HUGE STICK

BY BACKBONE

[willow tartan]

london almost lost to dps moira

[mortal cipher]

Backbone tracer ???

[vagrant cargo]

Tuff

[frosty shell]

wtf is mayhem doing

[vagrant cargo]

Can I say neither

[mortal cipher]

Losing

[frosty shell]

they lose so easily in some fights

[cunning patrol]

Majed easily

[mortal cipher]

Yeah

[frosty shell]

like they remove tank so fast

[cunning patrol]

Yeah checkmate is officially in my A tier after his phareeha performance @vagrant cargo

[fast tusk]

i literally came back from getting food and london already won, lol

[keen abyss]

what

are you saying ojee is comparable to vindaim

[vagrant cargo]

How

His aim is good

But those barrages and his decision making

Was so bad

[cunning patrol]

Barrage is a myth

[mortal cipher]

[fast tusk]

god this song hits so fucking hard

[keen abyss]

barrage on that map

is not good

[cunning patrol]

Using it removes temptation to int

[frosty shell]

checkmate is honestly pretty good

[vagrant cargo]

Barrage against rush is quite good

[cunning patrol]

He was way better than that whore Nero last game

[frosty shell]

pharah on that map is good lol

[vagrant cargo]

He just waited to long

[willow tartan]

checkmate is a good dps

[keen abyss]

not on lijiang garden though

[cunning patrol]

I mean they have a sombra marking him

[vagrant cargo]

Also yeah checkmate owns Nero

[willow tartan]

i said this at the start

[cunning patrol]

Lol

[jolly yew]

the barrages😭

[vagrant cargo]

Yeah and he failed to play around that

[keen abyss]

when i think of good barrages

i think of dding

[willow tartan]

gigachad player

[vagrant cargo]

I think of profit

[keen abyss]

who would always do it like as people were entering from doorways

[vagrant cargo]

Profits aim on pharah was never allat

[cunning patrol]

Characters too busted sadly…

[keen abyss]

and lijiang garden has like none of those

[vagrant cargo]

But his barrages hit

[twin bloom]

Nero had his worst performance in owl against london

[vagrant cargo]

Good

[twin bloom]

It was depressing to see

[cunning patrol]

It wasn’t

Imo

[vagrant cargo]

EU ontop

Backbone>Nero

[keen abyss]

i think barrage is the only aspect of pharah

[twin bloom]

Why

[keen abyss]

that is not good on lijiang garden

[twin bloom]

That is shocking

[vagrant cargo]

Also

[cunning patrol]

I dislike Nero

[twin bloom]

Coming from jazzay

[cunning patrol]

Kind of

Not really I just like to hate on him

[vagrant cargo]

Admiral has been better than ojay this season...

U guys just can't admit it...

[twin bloom]

Ok

I admit it

[vagrant cargo]

But admiral is never the reason why Londone lose

[twin bloom]

Ojee is worse than

[vagrant cargo]

He's a solid low A tier ms imho

[twin bloom]

Unique

[cunning patrol]

I heard u tried to nuke atlantas headquarters after hearing what ojee thought about moose

[vagrant cargo]

I did

[willow tartan]

[twin bloom]

Sad!!

[keen abyss]

[cunning patrol]

Hyping unique pre szn

Saying he was the best rookie MS

[keen abyss]

[twin bloom]

Nvm

[keen abyss]

chiyo ch0r0ng ojee vindaim

[twin bloom]

I do not admit

[keen abyss]

unique > ch0r0ng vindaim

💀

[twin bloom]

Ojee gets to much shit by "europeans" imo

[willow tartan]

the world would be a better place if north america disappeared

[mortal cipher]

Yeah

[twin bloom]

It would not

Imo

Because the UK

[vagrant cargo]

he doesn't

[willow tartan]

it would be

[twin bloom]

Is worse than america

[vagrant cargo]

He gets not enough shit imo

[willow tartan]

if the new world didnt exist then spice trades would still go through the silk road

making the near and middle east

much more wealthy like it was historically

[keen abyss]

cannot wait

[full lichen]

Ngl Rupal Majed is the best duo Florida have rn

[keen abyss]

for izafraudki to get gapped by boneback

in the zen duel

[willow tartan]

ur stupid

[mortal cipher]

Backbone is playing mind games

[willow tartan]

leejaegon is going to be the one playing zen

izayaki on ana

[mortal cipher]

Obviously

[keen abyss]

nvm boneback loses

to the leejaegod

[mortal cipher]

Lol

[willow tartan]

besides

shanghai wont lose

so they wont meet london

[vagrant cargo]

Also

When are we going to talk abt rupal having to trance

Because he couldn't fight off

Backbone on tracer

[cunning patrol]

Godbone tracer is nothing to scoff at 🤷

[vagrant cargo]

Who loaded like 2 or 3 clips into him and yet rupal was still alive lmfaoo

[cunning patrol]

I would outaim most OwL players on tracer

[full lichen]

Majed was back capping the whole time XD

[mortal cipher]

Lol

[willow tartan]

most OWL players do not play tracer

not really an accompllishment

[mortal cipher]

Yeah

[cunning patrol]

They still play heroes u have to track on

[lofty shale]

is xzi really considered one of the best sojourns in the west?

[cunning patrol]

No

[lofty shale]

i didn't really think he's anything out of the ordinary

[willow tartan]

like did u know i speak english better than 75% of the world? (75% of the world does not speak english)

[cunning patrol]

He’s mid at that agent

[cunning patrol]

U pick really stupid things to talk about

It’s kind of sad

[lofty shale]

tbf their aim is probably still way better than his, most support players in overwatch league still have great mechanics and would probably still out aim him

[plush grail]

memeicus is special in his own way

[vagrant cargo]

Shax is so good

[willow tartan]

a lot of ranked players have really good aim

[willow drum]

no he hates women

[tidal marsh]

shax actually being agressive

[willow drum]

and men

[willow tartan]

theyre just dumb as rocks

[tidal marsh]

whats this?

[willow tartan]

so even if they can match or beat owl players mechanically

they just lack the brain cells to be good to compete

[tidal marsh]

equality

[willow drum]

yes

[tidal marsh]

its not sexist if you hate everyone

[mortal cipher]

It’s hating everyone equally

[tidal marsh]

damn they really forced trans for that

[mortal cipher]

Dang v

[tidal marsh]

london is good at holding a defense

dogshit at pushing the cart tho

[fast tusk]

c9 🙂

[north relic]

He doesn’t believe in genders

[fast tusk]

mtd

[lofty shale]

man london are so much better rn

[fast tusk]

omg what is this mayhem team dude

[lofty shale]

mayhem with their shades of 2021, good at the beginning but starting to fall apart

defi not as bad this year though so far

[mortal cipher]

Yeah

Last year was a disappointment

[tidal marsh]

SNIPER MONKEY

[mortal cipher]

Ooh

[lofty shale]

anyone else feel like xzi has just been very quiet this year as well? i get that he hasn't played a lot but whenever he does play i don't really feel his impact

kind of sad since xzi was one of my faves in 2020

[tidal marsh]

Majed wtf was that trans?

[mortal cipher]

Oof

[fast tusk]

sniper monk

[earnest leaf]

fucking

sfgd

sdgf

[gloomy vector]

well

[tidal marsh]

That was disgusting from backbone

[gloomy vector]

idk

[mortal cipher]

Is anyone touching

[cunning patrol]

Xzi is an idiot

[willow tartan]

wait

[mortal cipher]

Welp

[fast tusk]

no touches

[full lichen]

GOD DAIY

[fast tusk]

c9

[lofty shale]

yea xzi ran into that shit he should have seen that coming

[willow tartan]

actual caster curse

[devout path]

Charlie niner

[willow tartan]

literally caster cursed

[full lichen]

FUCK

[mortal cipher]

C9 curse

[willow tartan]

live

[lofty shale]

wow

[last nimbus]

Bruh mayhem is so ass wtf

[lofty shale]

fucking hell

[willow tartan]

live caster curse

caught on camera

[balmy wolf]

can we nickname this season c9 season

[fast tusk]

the 3rd c9 in the tournament

[tidal marsh]

You can hear the rage in nekkras voice when there's no touches

[lofty shale]

come on mayhem you're supposed to be better than this

[trim shadow]

Any touchers in chat?

[mortal cipher]

The tournament more likely

[balmy wolf]

no the whole season

there has been an insane amounr

[mortal cipher]

The C9 Tournament

[willow tartan]

not really

[tidal marsh]

Overwatch league season c9

[willow tartan]

C9 tournament only if london wins

[trim shadow]

This whole split has been the Epitome of c9

[balmy wolf]

every weekend its like 2 or 3 c9s

2 or 3 big ones

[mortal cipher]

If we make it to s9 can we call it season C9

[willow tartan]

agreed

[tidal marsh]

I still don't know how people just don't touch

[trim shadow]

Right cloud 9 owns london

[mortal cipher]

Yeah

[worthy lynx]

I swear somebody might actually start to throw hands in that tiny room

[tidal marsh]

Do they forget they don't have an off tank?

[trim shadow]

So if cloud 9 wins the tourney every team should be ashamed

[last nimbus]

Wasnt london smm complaining that houston and toronto have easy brackets meanwhile they play washed atlanta and midhem

[tidal marsh]

Bro they play overwatch

[willow tartan]

someone probably beats up anyone on the london squad

[mortal cipher]

It’s funny how people c9 against spitfire given they’re owned by c9

[lofty shale]

honestly would be more entertaining than watching teams c9 on repeat

[trim shadow]

If it was cod leauge yea

[lofty shale]

besides hadi, hadi defi weighs a lot more dudes got muscle

[worthy lynx]

Lol

[tidal marsh]

I have no faith in anyone successfully being able to fight in the entirety of owl

[worthy lynx]

What about reiner

[willow drum]

coluge

aimgod

[plush grail]

poko could throw hands

[willow drum]

casores

poko

hadi

all very strong

[balmy wolf]

does the title say costream cause of ovilee?

[devout path]

Chadi

[plush grail]

shock has casores and coluge, they win

[lofty shale]

a lot of the south koreans actually have very nice physique

[keen abyss]

c9s are going to be much more common

[north relic]

Lip would strangle coluge

[lofty shale]

yall seen sbb? dudes hot

[tidal marsh]

?? Not for me

[mortal cipher]

Or League

[keen abyss]

without the dva to touch point

[plush grail]

id smash

[last nimbus]

Damn we kinda pred'd this

[devout path]

Shy is so hot

[tidal marsh]

But tracer

[willow drum]

👍

[lofty shale]

shy is hot

[worthy lynx]

Ur watching a different stream

[plush grail]

?????

[willow drum]

he is

[devout path]

?

[plush grail]

send a pic

[balmy wolf]

idk why mine does

[north relic]

I think cosplay shy is hot

But I don’t like him regularly

[tidal marsh]

Ur on the playoverwatch channel

[keen abyss]

doesnt always have 3 blinks, easier to kill on the way to cart, more linear movement

[worthy lynx]

Different channel

[devout path]

Ur on play Overwatch

[willow drum]

cosplay shy is very hot

[balmy wolf]

oki

[tidal marsh]

Rather than overwatch league

[last nimbus]

Different stream main stream has 30k viewers

[lofty shale]

ans is hot af

[balmy wolf]

i watch other one now

[keen abyss]

isnt always present in the match

often flanking

[willow tartan]

what does the university of manoa get out of hosting the event other than money i guess

[keen abyss]

dva was the defacto anti c9 hero

[willow drum]

void is one of the hotetst players

[willow tartan]

like why are they sponsoring the league

[willow drum]

i know

he actually a cutie

[willow tartan]

no person who watches overwatch league cares about a university in the middle of nowhere

[plush grail]

pr and money

[last nimbus]

Reputation 💪

[mortal cipher]

Because yer one the Overwatch not the Overwatch league channel

[devout path]

Money

[lofty shale]

money is enough to do it probably but they also get reputation

[tidal marsh]

The university of manoa truly is a homie

[devout path]

A lot of money cuz it’s the only place that can host them

[willow tartan]

how much money do u think they r getting paid

[mortal cipher]

They are

[devout path]

A lot

[willow tartan]

thats just false lol

[devout path]

It isn’t

[willow tartan]

they could go to guam

guam is owned by US

its closer too

[lofty shale]

especially since college overwatch is pretty big compared to other esports, being able to host overwatch league is pretty big (compared to other college level esports)

[trim shadow]

Money

[tidal marsh]

I need to watch college overwatch soon

[trim shadow]

Hawaii manoa doesnt have a colleagite team so it is strange

[north relic]

Guys it’s alarms birthday

[tidal marsh]

Not yet

[north relic]

Fusion are buffed

[devout path]

Happy birthday alarm

[trim shadow]

They have hosted multiple tourneys and have a esports media program they fuckin better

[willow tartan]

they could also go to uh

okinawa

thats under US occupation

and pretty close to tokyo

[lofty shale]

yea im pretty sure there's a good amount of money for students in overwatch college teams, i know the college im going to has a team

[trim shadow]

I think u can still get a esports scholarship

[lofty shale]

yea there's lots of scholarships available for that stuff

i mean my college even has a whole room in the student center for gaming

pretty sick stuff

[tidal marsh]

That's pretty awesome ngl

[trim shadow]

Esports is athletic asf probably even more athletic then physical sports since it used all aspects of ur body

[last nimbus]

@willow tartan maybe they pick Hawaii so na teams dont have ping advantage?

[tidal marsh]

eSports require your MIND

[lofty shale]

i mean it's definitely very mentally taxing

overwatch league players basically play to the point of hating the game lmao

[trim shadow]

Mind physicallity and “spirit”

[tidal marsh]

I saw a tweet about how it's Hawaii since it shares a connection to somewhere

[lofty shale]

imagine being forced to play overwatch 8+ hours a day

awful

[trim shadow]

I still@think 10 hours of overwatch

Is inhumane

But they do it in blocks

[lofty shale]

i remember someone saying that viol2t was playing/practicing like 12 hours a day

[trim shadow]

Still inhumane

[last nimbus]

A connection to somewhere? Wdym

[lofty shale]

not sure how true it was though

[trim shadow]

Those teams back in the day that did 10 hour days were most of the time shit

Well no matter what game most players are putting crazy hours

[lofty shale]

yea

[trim shadow]

But a game like overwatch 10 hours is mentally fucked

[last nimbus]

Any game tbh

[trim shadow]

You could probably play 6 hours of leauge and itll feel like 30 mins

[lofty shale]

i mean the reason most players retire isn't because they're too old they just wanna do other things with their life

[trim shadow]

Scratch that

Itll feel like a day

[lofty shale]

and being an esports pro is just too time consuming

[last nimbus]

Id rather play ow 8 hours q day than valorant or LoL or something

[tidal marsh]

WOAH I didn't know it was Pokos birthday (it's currently 21/07/2022 where I am)

[last nimbus]

Its just a job

[lofty shale]

im pretty sure a good amount of cs go pros are older than 25 but they still play at a high level so it's somewhat of a myth that age is a big issue

[trim shadow]

I dont even know how pros a game like csgo which virtually never changes hours and hours and are still doing it 10 years later

[lofty shale]

i thought cs go still gets big updates

[tidal marsh]

I've hated myself more playing valorant than I ever have in ow

[trim shadow]

Skin updates

[lofty shale]

csgo still gets balance changes and stuff i thought?

[trim shadow]

But the game fundamentally is the same

No new weapons no new “pro” maps

[tidal marsh]

Ah 2020-2022 ow

[lofty shale]

i mean chess hasn't changed for hundreds of years tbf

[willow tartan]

no but there is minimum latency

[worthy lynx]

Florida is actually doing kinda better with xzi

[lofty shale]

why didn't any of the apac teams go to hawaii btw? is it just that their countries wouldn't let them?

[willow tartan]

yes

visa

[lofty shale]

that sucks

[willow tartan]

hawaii is in US territory so US teams go there

ez

[mortal cipher]

And Apac are on the other side of the world

[last nimbus]

Mechanics cant deteriorate if you keep practicing its just that young people learn faster so if the game keeps developing young people tend to be better in professional scene

[willow tartan]

Its not that young people learn faster

Young people have more motivation to grind more

As you grow older and you have already proven yourself in your esport

you can grow complacent

and the moment u grow complacent there is some 16 yro grinding his ass off ready to overtake u

that's why having romantic partners is generally a bad thing in esports as it means u have more responsibilities outside of just grinding the fuck out of ur game

[last nimbus]

There are people like anamo who have been in owl for years and still trying to prove themselves but its obvious teams want younger players

[north relic]

u better believe im diffing proper's ass

[tidal marsh]

Let's be real

[willow tartan]

because on average

older players are less motivated

[tidal marsh]

apex players look dogshit compared to current pros

[willow tartan]

no shit?

whats ur point genius

[trim shadow]

Also as u get older u lose alot of energy

[last nimbus]

On avg yes but being experienced doesnt mean that you're not trying your best anymore

[trim shadow]

Which is why the average retired esports age is 26

[twin bloom]

I really hope london beat one apac team

[trim shadow]

The whole senses thing i believe depends person to person

[willow tartan]

yeah and people "prefer" younger players because the younger players are usually rookies

[tidal marsh]

Shanghai 🙏

[willow tartan]

rookies are unproven talent that have the potential to be better

so thats hwy they are selcected

[twin bloom]

Depending on if atl beat seoul

Or if fuel beat fusion

Than i do not think

[trim shadow]

Its the age old hungry tiger vs battle worn lion

[twin bloom]

London will win

Sadly

[lofty shale]

that's only if you don't use them, if you keep using your body you won't lose it, for example, lots of people get unhealthy around 30s or 40s but if you keep working out and stuff your body won't really have issues even in your 60s or 70s

[willow tartan]

tigers beat lions in 1v1 but lions hunt in packs so they can overwhelm the tiger

[tidal marsh]

It's fuel v fusion

[last nimbus]

So they still learn faster? The point your trying to prove still comes to thr same result, younger people can pick up new heroes easier than experienced players

[willow tartan]

they dont learn faster

[tidal marsh]

They kinda do

[willow tartan]

you're fucking stupid if u dont understand what i mean

[lofty shale]

xzi threw with that position

[last nimbus]

I dont thihnk you understand what im saying lol

[tidal marsh]

Holy someone

[lofty shale]

anyone else think it's stupid that railgun does 120 damage? i wish it was like 100 or 110 or something

[willow tartan]

correlation, not causation

age is not affecting

whether players r selected or not

[proud pollen]

good headshot from xzi

[willow tartan]

its just corellated to the causes

that make them selected or not

[last nimbus]

If ur more motivated to achieve your goals you tend to learn faster to do so innit

[worthy lynx]

There are multiple reasons for why an age differemce can affect game play

[willow tartan]

which is unrelated to age

[worthy lynx]

Both the motivation and being able to learn at different rates

Also young people tend to have more time on their hands

[willow tartan]

thats not because they are young though

thats because they have less responsibilities

as i said

so it has nothing to do with their age

it is just that they happen to be young

[lofty shale]

god i love someone's winston

[willow tartan]

and their circumstances are such

[last nimbus]

Thats because experienced people are growing old lol

[willow drum]

who?

[proud pollen]

super good game from mayhem that defense was very good

[last nimbus]

Its not about the young people

[willow tartan]

yeah okay this is pointless if i cant explain to you such a simple concept

[restive nexus]

If spitfire win 3-1 I still have perfect spitfire preds

[willow tartan]

i'm bombing your home

goodbye

[lofty shale]

the guy

[tidal marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/shirley-temple-too-funny-ha-ha-gif-24295248

[last nimbus]

Nah bruh you got such a big ego you cant take it if your point is weak af

[willow tartan]

???

[tidal marsh]

It's just overwatch man,

[willow tartan]

i think you're just fucking mentally deficient

[lofty shale]

i love it when arguments breakdown into personal insults

[willow tartan]

i never said a personal insult

[tidal marsh]

In the wise words of Lucio, Why are you so angry?

[willow tartan]

i just threatened to bomb his house

[willow drum]

that is memeicus' specialty

[lofty shale]

how about yall just keep arguing about what you were arguing about instead of calling eachother stupid lol

[willow drum]

@last nimbus he likes you

[mortal cipher]

Not sure they couldn’t find his name

[willow tartan]

personal insult would be like

[last nimbus]

I literally said nothing wrong but u try to go into an discussion with the same argument

[willow tartan]

if i called him ugly

cuz he has blonde hair

or something like that

[mortal cipher]

Ah

[proud pollen]

bombing his home is taking it a bit far dont you think?

or her

[willow tartan]

threatening to bomb someone's house is different to bombing their house

[lofty shale]

this isn't an insult lol

[willow tartan]

yeah

thats what im sayin bro

[tidal marsh]

Overwatch players am I right

[proud pollen]

still not really something you should do

[proud pollen]

dont get me started, i swear lol players are better

[willow drum]

memiecus is attracted to you if he threatens to bomb ur house

dont worry

[willow tartan]

????

please dont say that

[last nimbus]

Im not even talking about this discussion alone you get into random arguments all the time for no reason thats why j brought it up lol

[willow tartan]

that's just weird as fuck bro

[tidal marsh]

Nah nah, LOL players are a different breed

[last nimbus]

U act like that all the time

[willow tartan]

its not for no reason

[proud pollen]

maybe its cus i play on the tame oce server

[willow tartan]

its to prove a point

cause a lot of the time u motherfuckers

are so wrong

[last nimbus]

Yeah im underage so please do not

[willow tartan]

all the tiume

like

[tidal marsh]

dude

[willow tartan]

the amount of stupidity that comes out of this chat at times

[tidal marsh]

It's overwatch stuff

[proud pollen]

so now youre getting to personal insults?

[willow tartan]

who the fuck cares if its overwatch it could literally be about anything

[proud pollen]

if you dont wanna look at it leave

LOL

[last nimbus]

I literally agreed with you brother but u keep discussing about the same thing

[willow tartan]

?????

[willow tartan]

you shouldnt just close your eyes to this sort of stuff

if you dont try to help and teach

people will never learn

[proud pollen]

well youve tried i think

youve done your best

[tidal marsh]

What was the conversation about btw?

[trim shadow]

Cause lol doesn’t require flicking and using your eyes and ears constantly

[tidal marsh]

Because I've totally forgotten

[mortal cipher]

Tends to happen

[last nimbus]

People are stupid, theyll keep on coming and theyre not gonna listen to a random person in a chat of a dead esports scene

[tidal marsh]

HEY it's not dead, it's got us

[willow tartan]

It's not about making them listen

[willow tartan]

It's about making them reflect

[mortal cipher]

Yeah

[tidal marsh]

Me when league of legends

[proud pollen]

calling people stupid would not help them reflect

i would predict

[mortal cipher]

Literally any competitive games

[lofty shale]

yall think overwatch will actually be big again after ow2 and some months pass or are most of you guys not too optimistic about the future of overwatch? i think it'll get like halfway revived but curious to know what you guys think

[tidal marsh]

Fucking hell mn3 is insane

[mortal cipher]

But me when I see a hog

[last nimbus]

Why cant na production just hurry up and stop stalling so i can watch games

[willow tartan]

It does. I studied the human brain for this. Humans are much better at remembering bad things that happen to them than good things

Negativity is a good enforcer

[tidal marsh]

I'm more excited for the pve

[last nimbus]

Yeah itll rise for sure but not to the extend of what it once was

[proud pollen]

but do they change after those personal insults?

[proud pollen]

i agree here

[willow tartan]

the negativity will stick with them

and then they will reflect

because it sticks with them longer than positivity

[proud pollen]

no, they'll go defensive

[willow tartan]

yes

[proud pollen]

nah positivity sticks a lot more with me

[tidal marsh]

I don't think anyone in this chat takes anything like outside of the games seriously right?

[willow tartan]

when people become defensive they are forced to think about their position

which means

[last nimbus]

Nah ill have forgotten this whole discussion in 2 days LOL

[willow tartan]

they will reflect

[tidal marsh]

This

[willow tartan]

your subconscious will still be there though

[proud pollen]

then they fall into a defensive shell where they dont listen to anything so nothing gets done

[willow tartan]

even if you do not consciously remember it

unless u are braindead (you might be)

[mortal cipher]

You still do

[willow tartan]

your subconscious remembers

[last nimbus]

I might be yeah, but don't we all, we watch owl

[mortal cipher]

[last nimbus]

Holy fuck na production hurry up for once

[proud pollen]

facts

[tidal marsh]

Hadi needs his drink

[last nimbus]

2 games in 75 minutes bruh

[proud pollen]

no hes going to the dairy for more gum

[tidal marsh]

2 Games?

[willow drum]

no

[tidal marsh]

I swear this is the first game of the evening

[mortal cipher]

It is

[last nimbus]

Wait wtf 3rd game already happened

Mb im trippin

[tidal marsh]

Or am I losing my mind

[proud pollen]

bruh not colosesso

[mortal cipher]

It’s the first one

[proud pollen]

i hate the contest from bridge

so annoying

[mortal cipher]

Fr

[tidal marsh]

Frrr

[last nimbus]

Right i mean maps

3rd map

[mortal cipher]

After you get up the bridge it’s fine

[last nimbus]

Mb its 2am

[tidal marsh]

It's well broken allowing someone to contest through something solid such as a bridge or wall

[tidal marsh]

I feel you

[proud pollen]

no mayhem not the rush mirror

[tidal marsh]

You know what I wish

I wish shock did a rush mirror on push

[proud pollen]

im wrong i guess good start

[proud pollen]

yea true that wouldve beensuper interesting

i kinda stopped watching that tmap after first half

[tidal marsh]

That's honestly fair enough

[mortal cipher]

Yeah

[last nimbus]

Is rupal really better than sirmajed

[lofty shale]

why do you think that? i definitely see it as a possibility but curious as to why you think ow2 won't change much of anything

[last nimbus]

F2p defo will help

[proud pollen]

i honestly dont mind

like theyre all even i think

[tidal marsh]

What a good use of charge

[proud pollen]

chadi's charge on point as always

[lofty shale]

f2p will help at first because everyone will at least try it but it still needs to be a good game to maintain popularity

just like with halo infinite

[proud pollen]

bad sojourn ult but good team

[lofty shale]

even if it's free people won't play it if it's shit

[twin bloom]

Sparkr is hard gapped xzi on souj

[proud pollen]

mayhem still have good ultadvantage

[tidal marsh]

Ima be real, backbone definitely needs to practise his Genji

[mortal cipher]

Yeah

[last nimbus]

Well idrk cause mayhem actually looked pretty good stage 1 with sirmajed and anamo as support

[lofty shale]

halo infinite lost basically all interest even though it had millions of players at launch

[twin bloom]

Yet hydron hard gapped sparkr earlier this stage

Strange decision

From gunba

Imo

[last nimbus]

Like idk why they decided to bench sirmajed when he was a top5 ana in stage 1

[proud pollen]

oh i didnt watch stage one

[tidal marsh]

It's just nerves

[twin bloom]

He was not top 5

But far better than rupal

[last nimbus]

In na he was

[proud pollen]

i did notice that the communication felt off with sirmajed subbed in

in eichanwalde

they looked a lot less coordinated

[last nimbus]

Cause they barely play double fs

[willow drum]

he was not

[proud pollen]

fs = flex support?

[willow drum]

finn fielder shu iris uv

twilight

are all better than sirmajed

very easily

[lofty shale]

agree ^

[willow drum]

thinking he is top 5

off the goop take

[proud pollen]

spitfire really not doing well this map

[lofty shale]

but i dont think he's that much worse than those top 5 players

[twin bloom]

I forgot half those flex supps existed lmao

No way

[tidal marsh]

Ima be real

[twin bloom]

Majed

Is top 5

[tidal marsh]

Rush isn't working

[proud pollen]

very surprising after their performance against shock yesterday

[lofty shale]

sirmajed is still like A tier imo

[twin bloom]

Even in NA

Lmao

[twin bloom]

He is C tier

[willow drum]

lmaooo??

[twin bloom]

TBH i only remembered shu

[willow drum]

he is not

anywhere close

[twin bloom]

And uv

Lmao

[tidal marsh]

London truly does need to diversify their metas that they can use

[lofty shale]

really? I thought his zen was pretty good

[willow drum]

he is B tier

[willow drum]

he dies

every

[twin bloom]

Disagree

[willow drum]

teamfight

[twin bloom]

He is c

[willow drum]

without fail

[cunning patrol]

uv is high a tier

[willow drum]

we are talking about stage 1

[cunning patrol]

low s

[split edge]

i just joined helo

[willow drum]

stage 1 he was B

imho

[twin bloom]

Agree

[tidal marsh]

Cause rush 24/7 ain't it

[willow drum]

did not feed that much

[twin bloom]

Majed could be B

But he need

[willow drum]

he is C now though

sadly

[twin bloom]

A not gunba

[proud pollen]

late beat :/

[twin bloom]

Coach

[hot onyx]

“Anamo can go ahead and taxi Hadi back to the bot”

[cunning patrol]

majed managed to make certain players

in naC

look like geniuses

imo

[twin bloom]

Like who

[hot onyx]

Is Nekkra watching OWL 2022 or OWL 2032?

[cunning patrol]

goats

on UA

imo

[twin bloom]

@cunning patrol He was top 3

In NAC

Behind

[mortal cipher]

Wdym

[twin bloom]

Redacted

And UV

And maybe simple

[proud pollen]

bruh slo shatter

[cunning patrol]

he was big 4

[hot onyx]

She said about Anamo helping Hadi back to the robot with the speed boost

[willow drum]

its worth lmao

[cunning patrol]

but that is not a good thing

imo

[twin bloom]

Also

[proud pollen]

oh yea absolutely

[twin bloom]

I find it funny

How landon

Was not even top 5

In NAC

[mortal cipher]

Ah i See

[proud pollen]

nvmnot worth

[twin bloom]

Yet still outperformed top 1 EUC

Fs

[hot onyx]

And I implied that I didn’t know what year she is watching and being confused

[twin bloom]
