i heard that AZK and swag played OW at the start, but i thought both of em quit it
is swag still playing OW? and is it possible to find any games with him in OW (like professional games or maybe jsut twitch streams/etc)?

good to know
also, i wonder how will they choose 1/3/4 out of 6 players for 1v1/3v3/4v4 oO

edt. w8, is that csgo AZK playing for team liquid? :o

what is the average aussie ping on chinese/SA servers?

Sounds good, but Oceania (including Australia) can be merged with SouthAsia i think :thinking:

(for some reasons cant reply to your post :c )
ODJ actually got stream, but its japanese only. But i got your point.

:c

Good to know :P

Oh, that's explain why i cant see the emojis submenu on message edit box-section =]

Would be great to have 'Notifications" option here which let you know when some1 reply to one of your messages.

I see, thanks =]

It was laggy/buggy/poorly balanced and optimized on the start. Lots of teams didnt want to switch to it from Source/1.6. Valve was slowly fixing stuff and made the game better in the end. But the main problem is still here, which makes the game enjoyable just on big screen for me (VAC works badly, cheaters jsut everywhere :c).

Nope, i didnt :o That's explain why did they add Destiny 2 on BlizzApp. Also didnt know Blizzard owns MLG..

True. And not. If Blizzard would not put money into new projects/expansion - we will never get OW. So, the 2 sides of the coin. Also they puts a lot of money into CGIs (SC2's jsut makes me want to watch em again w/o palying the game itself and i enjoy those short movies about OW), comic books, books itself (i never played WoW, but i read all books exapt Malfurion, this one is OMEGABORING) and other stuff.

Its not support emojis at all :P
And we have better community here ^^,

Cant name the OWL one (since joined the train not that much time ago ^^,), but msot likely NYExcelsior, FMayhem or SDynasty?
WC is Canada
Normal is Miraculous Youngster :P

how you doing it? :c

Its always going like this. 4-5 years ago i was playing Dota2 with my RL friend. And we were dominating line all the time we played 2gether, mostly cuz we cooperate well and had good communication. We were picking character that covers bad sides of each other or which just strong as duo, or even expenriment with new duo variants and still were successful. Also, when you play with premade team for some time - you know what is the weaker side of your teammates' gameplay and what kind of support they need from you.
I think its works with any competitive game and OW is not exclusion.

Why did he spam-report djuggs? :D

I am agree with you about e-sports. Would be great to know you can watch some minor OW tournaments each week or two with some mroe or less known teams playing. On the other hand - CSGO wasnt much popular till Valve announced the 1st major (it was a godo move to milk more money from gamers, same goes to Dota / International; you should accept it aswell).
As far as i know - valve didnt sponsor any of the CS1.6 (and lesser version) events. All of em were sponsored by ESL / Intel (aka IEM) / CPL / etc.
I think we just need to wait and see the next Blizzard movements. I "joined OW community" just after watching Blizzcon's OW (which i am liked so much).And right now i am a bit sad that OW is not nearly that competitive as SC2 / CSGO or DotA :c

edt. Not sure how is Activision connected to the Blizzard =]

Bought the game cuz of this cute lovely voice :

But mei is still cute to me :P

Valve doing all those CSGO majors and Dota Internationals with gamers money. 50% of stickers sold in CSGO goes into their pockets, 75% of the compendium sold going into their pockets.
For example, TI'17 prize pool is $24,787,916, base is $1,600,000 and contributed is $23,187,916. Those $23,187,916 is 25% of the money they got from selling compendiums, so $23,187,916 * 3 = $69.563.748 is money they got once a year from selling some useless digital book. Those money not going to invest any new projects or expansions or anything else. And i am not even talking about money from selling CSGO keys, 15% of items value at steam market and money from developers for selling their games on steam platforms, etc.
$1.000.000 for 2x CSGO majors and $1.600.000 for next international is NOTHING.
And what did blizzard got from SC2 (all 3 expansions taken 2gether)? One time purchase of 20-30$ and they used some amount of money to make another 2 expansions. They getting nearly nothing from Diablo3 and HotS, sicne ppl not buying much of in-game goodies for RL$ and they keep release new heroes/skins/etc for HotS and new armor sets/balance the classes/etc for D3.

I think its easy to invest money into smthn and to be philanthropist if the money coming from other pockets and not yours :c

(srry for my bad spelling/English)

Blizzard getting success with every game they release sicne WoW release (like 15 years ago?) and they keep doing good work bringing us new wow expansions (not playing wow, but ppl that palying wow are glad i think) and new games (overwatch is the latest example (not sure if i spelled it correct, but i hope you got it right)). They keep support Diablo 3, Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm (last 2 are f2p games, so they get nothing from it since most of the HS and HotS community playing it for free).
And what did Valve release in last 10 years exapt CSGO and Dota2? And which of those 2 got major expansions/DLCs? Noone. L4D3? Not yet here or announced. HalfLife3? Not yet here or announced. HalfLife2 Ep3? Not yet here or announced.
So, you cant really compare blizzard to any other game developer.
(imo even UbiSoft/Creative Essembly/SEGA/2K/Square Enix is not that money hungry as Valve)

She's cute =]

That's a quite detailed answer for what i wanted to know (I am not much into the names atm, but still good to know). Thanks for the explanation <3

I think the the most money hungry company is still valve; blizzard's products at least has high quality level.

Razer Abyssus for like 6 years here. Still working fine. Was using Razer DeathAdder be4 it for like 6-7 years aswell (in the end the cabble was "too broken" to repair it, so i switched to abyssus). Can recommend. Abyssus will be also much cheaper than your max budget.

thanks for more info =]

i see, thanks <3

Hello there. I am new to OW competitive scene (started to watch OW at blizzcon). So i got a question and maybe some1 can give me an answer : what is Contenders teams and why most of the NA teams (Dallas Fuel, Houston Uprising, NY Excelsior, etc) has mix of international players (belgian and south korean, for example, how do they communicate?).
