I mean, he bought fifteen accounts, they are his, he is free to play them.

Said something similar on reddit and got downvoted to oblivion. At least it started a nice discussion. I mean, of course the laws of the country apply but it's interesting, how much cultural differences influence the reception of this alleged incident.

Career over: Yes
Dumb as bricks: Yes, he has a gf and writes like this with a 14-year-old. Also, who the fuck writes in this way anyways.
Exploitation: Might argue, she seemed to know what she was doing but he is supposed to be an adult.
Pedophilia: Hell No. Putting him in the same category as legit human garbage is just weird. And like the guy in the other thread said, it's unfair to the actual child victims of pedophiliacs.

Brigitte-main btw

classic Blizzard, releasing stuff in NA before EU LUL

Anyone got any idea why this won't load for me? Eternally stuck in loading.

Wondering why not more OWL teams officially announced their Contenders rosters yet, the Pizza one definitely seems like one.

This is gold, people are awesome(ly dumb)

This gon' be good. harbCheer

Genuinely curious, why everyone compares all the teams instead of making lists for the two divisions seperately.

close

01:30 am and gotta wake up at 7 FeelsAmazingMan
At least the first game was good!

CDs and vinyl are still a thing!

No idea how The Killers ended up in there.

spam2win! Scandalous!

I joined twice and have been kicked out twice ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Korean teams ResidentSleeper

Even though I don't believe it, I hope that rosters like NYXL (although that is entirely possible) and Spitfire fail the first season so that we see more diverse teams. I want to see teams like Philly, Dallas or Boston. Diversity and bringing together cultures is what gaming and esports is about in my eyes and in that sense, these rosters are just sad to see. I do understand Seoul and Shanghai, as they are culturally more distant anyway (I wouldn't mind surprises in that regard though) but London is a joke.

Eqo, Poko and the Koreans are certainly surprises. But this roster has tons of potential.
Maybe no American wanted to play on a Comcast team LUL.

harbW

Definitely not disagreeing, right now, Korea offers the best competition by far. But except for a glorified exhibition tournament, they have not really shown up outside of their region, except for a weak APAC and an even weaker OPC.

Really happy there doesn't appear to be as much Korean dicksucking here as on Reddit (sorry for the choice of words but certain people are just so annoying). But you gotta believe what the lord and saviour Monte says I guess. It's really not comparable so far and OWL miiiiight give some insight.

Surefour apparently is supposed to focus on hitscan, so they might want another projectile specialist.

Currently not working, gonna bump it up anyway

Music was the influence for most of my aliases. The current one has been around for a while tho: When I was 15 I basically only listened to obscure post-rock bands, one of which was Yndi Halda (meaning Enjoy Eternal Bliss). I shortened it because no-one would be able to say the whole thing and voilà.

What's your favorite team? active: Immortals, but I'm a sucker for marketing, so I usually also root for NRG
Who's your favorite player? harbleu, custa, coolmatt
What's your favorite ever match of Overwatch? Fnatic vs Faze MLG Vegas
Who are your mains? Zenyatta, Lucio, Winston, Sombra (4ever filling so i chose to enjoy it)
What's your favorite movie? Pan's Labyrinth
What's your favorite food? German Döner
What's your favorite over.gg member? Sideshow

MrDestructoid

interesting

You're right, #4, EnVision will win it BlessRNG

Hopefully this will be more competitive than last time.

why so late

Glad China could revenge my Danes

It doesn't read like they have been dropped but rather refused to renew the contracts :thinking:

Edit: nvm, Dante said they've been indeed dropped

I like how I could watch the last match at work today. Who thought of this schedule? I agree with all your points, I cannot understand the line of thinking behind all this.

Stream's starting at 1 am? Nice. /s

Cyclowns letting me down...

dayum, Vivi's on a roll

no coverage of early games FeelsBadMan

NA:
A: FaZe, CLG (stacked group, FaZe looked really strong but the second place could go to anyone)
B: LGE, EnVision (LGE seems to have a safe first place, again a toss-up for second, but I see the edge for EnVision)
C: TempoStorm, Immortals (TempoStorm seems to have finally all their puzzle pieces together, I see them taking first. Immortals will have to fight hard for the second spot)
D: Hollywood Hammers, C9 (EU>NA Kappa)
EU:
A: eUnited, Team Expert (eUnited is likely the clearest winner out of all groups. As a German, I hope Expert makes it, although the Puppiez would be really cool, too)
B: Misfits, Laser Kittenz (Misfits looked really good in the qualifiers, I hope the Kittenz don't fall to another Midtier team)
C: Singularity Ninjaz, Gamers Origin (This group is basically impossible to call. These are my tips, but any other result would not surprise me)
D: Cyclowns, Movistar Riders (two of the best EU teams should make it through in this group.)

ez for CoolCat

Roadhog ded FeelsGoodMan

I named my dog in Stardew Valley Muma, come at me #4

From my German POV tha would be a "ch" (chorosho) sound instead of an "h", but whatever I guess.

It's probably because there's no "H" in Russian and it's oftentimes replaced with a "G". (see handball= gandbol)
Disclaimer: not Russian.

Anyway, finally he found a team and it's a good one.

Noukky FeelsBadMan decent committee for Germany nonetheless

Maybe they just want to get some LAN experience, I doubt Hammers would cut Snizzle and fischer.

What a great match yet again!

That Vikings team though

Sounds like a good game I missed there

I really like the diversity on both of these teams.
