I'm GLAD that my prediction skills were LAGging behind for this big riVAL match

Bunny and Agilities were so nutty last night

3-1 Gladiators :(

KR - Element Mystic (but I hope for RunAway)
EU - Angry Titans
NA - Fusion Uni (but I hope for EV)

I'm really looking to forward to playoffs, tbh I'm more hyped for this than I have been for OWL end of stage stuff

World class commentary there after a point completion - "4:20, as Meta Bellum blaze a trail"

Yeah I guess you could say they're pretty okay

I'm going to watch Element Mystic for the first time today, seeing if the hype building around them is legit or not

It's the straw that broke the camel's back

There's no point bothering with Fuel anymore. They build up the hype with promising performances, give KyKy full control, solve the main tank problem, FINALLY look like they're going somewhere aaaaaaand they get rid of the head coach and one of their best players.

Obviously there is a reason why they did this and I know absolutely nothing about the situation inside the org so it's probably a change that needed to be made but that's not where I'm going with this. Dallas have just fucked everyone around for so long now that I'm tired of their garbage time after time after time. I honestly thought they would be the team I followed but I just can not be bothered with the drama anymore. To quote the great xQc "I'm donezo", gonna go support teams that actually solved their problems and got their shit together like Fusion and Valiant.

I suppose this could be step 1 for the Fuel reformation and I'm gonna look like an idiot for saying those things but best of luck to em, I hope they do work it out.

Some of the screams are bloodcurdling, even worse than D.Va after she's jumped off the edge of the map

Fusion 4-0

Who am I kidding we all know it's going to end 3-2

A great series, I honestly thought Dallas were going to pull it off this time

Shadowburn got exposed by our lord and saviour, king of the Junkrat and chewer of gum Jake

It's kinda sad though, SB has had two cameos in the past two games and he hasn't looked on form at all.

🕯️

The Meko vs Neko hog battle was a funny coincidence on Junkertown

Architect was wham today, I hope for Shocks sake that they haven't signed a dud

+1

I fully agree with what you said but I'd also not be so quick to condemn some of the people posting in that thread. The DK case is a sensitive issue but it is also most likely something that is new for a lot of people to deal with. For me I hadn't fully developed my opinions or explored in any deepness how I'd react to a situation like this and seeing some of the debates taking place certainly helped me to come to my own conclusions. There were a few brash comments that I just straight up disagreed with but I'm still okay with them being posted because it gives other people the chance to counter their views, tell them why they think they were wrong and continue the conversation. That being said there were some comments that crossed the line.

This is a very raw subject and as a community we've had to all grow up a little bit in response to this. Anyway much love to you all ❤️

I'm glad for at least a little bit of good news today, thanks RunAway

Having read through some of the messages he sent her I can't see any way that DK is going to come back from this, regardless of whether the more illegal stuff is true or not.

It's such a shame and really puts a downer on OWL as a whole. Stupid fucking idiot

That would definitely be cool but it's hard to see that given the quality of Shock's other 4 DPS

This is just heavy, I really hope none of this is true.

That's a really dumb comment

I think it's fair to say after the first two maps that Snillo is more than good enough to step in for him. I also think it's fair to say Boston have looked quite impressive at times too

EQO dun goofed

Valiant masters of OT pushes

Honestly the actual product they've developed here is garbage. The Command Center stream gives you two tiny gameplay views (one being the main stream) with wasted space everywhere. There's no point to it, the extra camera is really cool but it's just so impractical and unwatchable compared to the main stream. At times they put it to a single screen mode when they're showing highlights, but instead of making the single window full screen they keep the HUGE borders around it with the stupid games pass logo on the bottom of the screen. The stats are pretty useless too I've got to say.

I am fully prepared to pay $30 for something like the idea that they've had, however in its current state I'd only watch the CC stream if you payed me the $30. I want the alternative cameras, I'm game for a pass only twitch chat and I'll give Blizzard money for it too but not like this.

4-0 Dallas

LAV said they'll release a vid on Wednesday revealing why they've made all the decisions that they have. Tbh I was a bit turned off by what Valiant's management were doing but after all of these roster announcements I'm open to seeing where they want to take the team.

Just no more trips to In N Out please

You might have seen me in various match threads in the past posting about how happy I was that Houston were struggling or how good it is that Jake has been underperforming. However, I have a confession to make and I hope you guys will accept me, even with what I have to say.

You see deep down I've always thought that Jake is the best DPS in the world. His Junkrat is incredible for so many reasons: precision primary fire, delightful mine throws and my goodness me, his trap placement. He places traps like nobody else I have ever seen, so sneaky, so devilish, oo it makes my spine tingle just thinking about it. Do not even get me started on his RIP-Tires, have you even seen someone get as many kills with it as Jake? Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you Jake starts my engine, he pulls the chord and I'm all aboard ready and waiting to watch his magical touch.

Now his Tracer: okay sometimes he blows himself up with his own pulse bombs but when he does, he always takes someone down with him. I like to think that he plays so much Junkrat that he forgets he can do damage to himself with explosives. Have I mentioned how great his Junkrat is? Like damn son it's good, real good. His stage presence too, oh my golly gumdrops, the way he has the confidence to chew gum with his mouth open like that, I envy him. He just chews chews chews away like nobody is watching, truly the sign of a seasoned veteran.

Then there's the Outlaws themselves. So unlucky right? Blizzard just refuse to nerf Tracer and Houston are paying the price. They have so many talented DPS players and yet this ridiculous current patch demands a top tier Tracer player so they don't get to show their true potential. I've seen people saying Houston got lucky in stage 1 with the Mercy meta and that they're "one patch wonders" but I don't buy that for one second. Talking of stage 1 I can't believe how lucky London got in the playoff game, Houston deserved to win that hands down. No doubt they would have gone on to beat that truly average NYXL team in the final too. The Outlaws were Stage 1 winners in my heart.

Anyway I've gone on too long, I just wanted to share with you guys how I truly feel.

absolutely

Nobody has mentioned the fact that Space has just turned 18. I highly recommend that nobody sleeps on Space, he's without a doubt low-key one of the best D.Vas in the world.

There's no room for both Space and Envy, Envy needs to go.

It's official https://twitter.com/LAValiant/status/979965769365639168?s=19

So where does Soon go?

Pro

Team UK will avenge their bad luck with the new mercy patch in the last WC to get the 2nd place they rightly deserve.

KoleeKo's joke went straight over your head haha

https://youtu.be/yCToUOrWWWE

It's a masterpiece

You've picked 2 Zen specialists

Team UK:

MikeyA - DPS
Kyb - DPS
Christfer - Tank
Smex - Tank
Boombox - Support
Kruise - Support

Basically last year's team but with Kyb instead of the random player Realzx that I'd never seen before and not seen since. Just got to hope Kyb will fly haha

Maybe bring Numlocked along too but put him in a sister team and let him play ranked all day

"I think it’s time for me to take a long break from OW. I haven’t had any success these past 6 months and it’s not from a lack of trying. I want to express sincere gratitude to all my former teammates and fans without whom I would not have made it this far ❤️."

🕯️

My heart is broken once more by a 3 map comeback, first RunAway Vs Busan and now this. 2/2 now for teams I support in finals.

Great game tho

Yo this is incredible! Great addition

Share the events that happened in game that made you want to scream with rage.

Tonight I've been on the climb, got my SR to 3483 (on Xbox) and started my game to get into Masters. Game level was 3100 and there was an actual Platinum level player on my team whilst the other team got full diamonds. We get 3 support mains (me included) on the team so I have to play main tank because nobody else on the team will pick it.

Literally as we walk out of the spawn room one of the guys in chat says "I can't actually be bothered playing this game, I'm not sure why I even searched for a match" - something everyone on the team wants to hear at the start of the game.

We proceed to play out a 2-2 on Temple of Anubis, with the other team having 3 minutes to capture point A to win the game. We hold out for a solid minute and a half when someone on our team leaves the game. We get trounced, we lose the game, I miss my shot at masters and I'm left sat at my desk pondering what could have been.

There's always tomorrow I guess but I had to vent this garbage out. Have you guys experienced similar feelings of woe?

Slasher revealing all is not well inside Valiant

"As the LA Valiant continue to have difficulty in the game, tensions are growing within the organization. Several Valiant players are now being considered for trade or sale, including their French stars Unkoe and SoOn, sources said."

They didn't look too great today

I'll probably never be cheering on Boston as much as I am tonight

No leave my Zen alone 😭

I can't handle much more of this

Those sneaky hammer downs tho!

Valiant made the video themselves and uploaded it to their own YouTube channel.

If you watch the whole thing its kind of a huge wtf, they basically straight up admit that the first team players bullied Agilities out of the roster. It's even weirder that LAV make it into a vid, like for real what's going on? This isn't what I want to see from one of the teams I support and it certainly left a sour taste in my mouth.

Looks pretty toxic to me

That was a great game to watch, ggs by both teams
