snivy first posted this on discord
i called this so long ago but yea blizzard testing new spectating during blizzcon owc ;)

i think you fucked up links, kickstarter twitter and facebook dont seem to work for me, they send be back to this post

ok i dont get why anyone cares? he quit being pro but also said he enjoyes game when he doesnt need to play it every day so he plays it, so whats the big deal? he is playing game and?

BOOP

bump so more people see it coz its cool tool

also poi is grinding these stars gonna catch up to me soon

they will coz decay is bigger after more time and different national teams played at different times so teams from 1st qualifier will be lower then from latest even though they might have played a lot better

and if you think that some features are missing you should post it in these update threads

its really not hard to find answer to this thread (site update posts are in stickied threads on the top left)

actually only lh is confirmed and while kdp is pretty much sure its not yet official owl team for c9

ill stay independent outside the crew
will keep saying seagull is not good and getting downvoted for this
will keep arguing with people

you wont take me this easly

no way it will get bigger than dota lol or cs go
sorry these games are just too long as esports i dont see overwatch overtaking any of them

Put it simply in my opinion its just too big to fail, that is no to say it will be success blizzard seems to expect. It will most likely be fairly popular esport but nowhere near likes of cs go dota and lol. Because of scale and pure amount of money invested in it, it will get attention of media and advertising so it will gain on popularity and probably grow throughout next few years but i dont see it breaking into top 3 most popular esports i mentioned earlier.

Blizzard tries to make owl similar to traditional sports and in my opinion its completely wrong. I think that its traditional sports that will slowly become more similar to esports. Blizzard pushes this "home team" concept but the popularity of home teams in traditional sports is due to the fact that back in the days you just were not really able to cheer for teams from outside your town/country. Esports are so global that people a lot of times cheer for teams that live on the other side of the globe and i think thats also something that will slowly happen in traditional sports.

But with all this said esport also can take a lot from traditional sports so change will happen in both ways.

sorry its written really quickly and might not make sens sometimes

oh also i expect owl to get over 100k viewers on big games and, maybe 30k-50k avg on normal games during league (depending on teams playing and combining different language streams)
im going off of contenders earlier western tournaments owc and some lans that happend this year and i know something about them as i used to follow viewership and post threads about it (ill probably do something like this for owc finals as preparation for owl)

one more addition :P the game wont "fizzle out" because game doesnt equal esport and even if owl totally fails overwatch as a game is very popular and will continue being such for probably quite some time

harsh is not enough to describe it, pure savage parents

he is one of the very best winstons he is not average

no no
knoxx winz and nico are really bad and rogue was somehow able to be undefeated with 3 good players and 3 bad players for so long only because of luck

true in many cases
gonna save you from negative votes! ;)

c9kdp and runaway
and we have runner-ups final

no hope for the west
gs busan too strong

feelspogchamp

ok, i personally wouldnt even remember which of these names jacob wolf reported ;)

la gladiators isnt confirmed either

The names of San Francisco and New York spots also surfaced, according to rumours they are going to be called Shock and Excelsior respectively.

or something like this :P

havent seen actually i heard good reviews but its just not my type so its low on my list of shows to watch

Fuck, im really proud of this thread

and its on the way to 100 comments but soon it will lose its purpose, i need to think if there is any other way it could serve ones owl starts :/

thats a pretty new anime

i kinda wanted to wait with imt but i guess i can add them

and forgot about la gladiators, i even partialy edited this post (i delted part in which i ask for better name) but forgot to add name

edit done

its a sailing term, barely used as its a name of a hole in a sail, i changed 1 letter and thats also how my dog used to be called (rip) the dog was also called after this sailing term

to be precise a whole with metal around it in english its called Grommet or eyelet here's how it looks https://sailrite.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/2013_may_2.jpg

wOoW so surprised
mlg all over again

envyus is just on another level and if with we know about owl so far turns out true it will be a competition between 2-3 teams that will totally demolish all the other ones

my articles tittle so on point "unfulfilled expectations"

misfits from online stage disappeared and gigantti looked good as a team

it is bait
still my original comment was written fully aware of it

actually improved hltv, sad is the fact that after 10 years there are so many things wrong with hltv

i think unkoe is better zen and ana

i want to say gigantti so much :/

i really dont know who will win eu

but na is easy envy 4:0 (maybe 4:1 if they experiment and switch players with seagull but if they just go with their starting linup then it should be easy 4:0)

wolf is a very reliable source so you can treat it as confirmed

expected, and a stupid decision, just add some "star players" and expect it to work out

its more like they killed the scene outside the league and not like they dont care

just look at number of tournaments in 2016 and 2017 its not only amm

but whatever im remiska#2914

i played little bit on na but i had 200 ping so i was only able to play lucio on decent level

im on eu so ping gona be a problem

exactly, and the thing is esport isnt even that popular amongst viewers in na

blizzard really thinks owl will be "THE BIGGEST ESPORT EVER" very soon and truth is i dont see it ever overtaking lol cs go and dota as these games are too long an esport tittles

and with 3 good players and 3 subpar rogue totally diminated na in 2017 yea sounds about right....

not really, rogue players are one of the very best in their roles

we'll see them at least one more time during owc and thats what makes me at least little bit happy but to see one of the very best rosters not in owl is both heart breaking and infuriating

go hanzo main :P after getting to high plat like 4-5 seasons ago i got fed up with how hard it was to play solo and started maining hanzo

and i was actually pretty good on hanzo, i got a lot of opening kills and crucial picks but because i was "trolling" people started throwing, it was so stupid, since then i dont really play comp rather i go to quick play and i have fun again ;)

so true

also nice new flag

no chance as c9 eu players already announced via tweeter they are free agents

edit: they let go of na squad but eu squad was never really signed as far as i know so yea no chance

envy looking strong but seagull was underwhelming same goes for taimou though but we saw him too many times in god mode on lan for me to be concerned

and as i already shamelessly self promoted myself under misfits article ill do the same here for envy :P history of envyus overwatch here: https://www.over.gg/5964/maybe-something-interesting-about-envyus#14

added 3 new names:
dallas fuel
new york excelsior
San Francisco Shock
