No surprised, ATL OWL team rolled them there, and the ATL Academy team did so too. I guess it this kind of encouraged non-korean teams to not be afraid of full KR teams. Hopefully this mentality will carry into OWWC, it's been kinda lame that KR still continues to slaughter to 1st place.

This. I would actually prefer more stand alone teams, especially since we're headed into international OWL. Makes me wonder what other countries are going to step up.

This much is true but Pine didn't get heavy play time either, effectively Mr. Hightlight Reel is Bench Reel. lol

Wow thank god. I was like, him suddenly leaving was just... shocking to me. I mean yeah they didn't make it far but it was better than the rest.

Though it is like Monte had said, offseason madness begins.

Scrub, what are your thoughts on this esp. NUS leaving.

I know my bad so.. what did you think of the finals?

Damn Birdring and NUS that sucks; guess the first one wasn't consistent enough on Widow and NUS... why?

This is true, Twilight with the sleeps, JJanu was alright as well.

Man they 4-0 them so fast lol.

Which is understandable; officially we haven't transitioned into International OWL yet but it just bothers me that people haven't realize that scheduling cannot be the whole of the world yet esp. not after many decades since pro-game streaming got more and more popular in the later years.

Sure they hype it up so much, it does feel contradictory all things considering where is our teams that were suppose to be for the other countries like Israel or Austria? It isn't whole international if a majority of OWL players are Korean and rest is (other).

Though this appears to be like a issue with OWL overall imo. Some teams/people simply cannot get in due to money or age.

But afaik there is a 1 hour wait before the broadcast officially begins, then another hour for watchpoint, 30mins for a music performance then it starts a 3pm.

Well I mean it's basically in 9 hours for me. Most viewing are in NA anyways, though; if you have ESPN/ABC, can watch it that way too.

Though if you really cba, just get a better job that has a flexible schedule. 5head. No offense, I've seen this complaint before esp. when it was last years CSGO tournament, you wanna see it but "you work", or "I'm in EU/Greenland" like they cannot schedule things for everyone across the world, that's impossible. I have a friend who is 15 hours ahead of me.

Just saying, some people will just have to miss out on it or avoid spoilers.

Whose hyped? Ya'll hyped for this?!!?!

But don't they have an EU/China OWL twitch channel? Can't you just watch it that way?

Yeah we can end up in a scenario where it's Stage 1 all over again but perhaps if it goes all the way to 8 maps, they could clutch it all in the end but it would likely be extremely close.

Well considering that Shock almost beat them in Stage 1, then did so in Stage 2/3, it didn't surprise me that they would face Titans again. I mean we kind get to see a fighting game in action;

Shock V. Titans Round 3. FIGHT!

Quite frankly, NYXL messed up big time, then again the seeding was skewed in their favor to be easy. IMO this really all started when in Stage 3 ATL beat them.. twice. If you lose two times in a row two ATL then to Chengdu who is worse, then again to Titans I just don't think NYXL is as amazing as they always say each time "Oh they'll get it right" mean while it's like PTSD again where they roll through Stage 1-3 but flop as soon as the Semi's come around.

That being said, Shock needs to be careful there's likely a chance that our OG Runnaway rolls like they did in Apex.
