AKM is ridiculous

 

[RespectThySole]

That high noon.

 

[AngryMoth]

C9 really on the ropes...

 

[peakish]

Wow, Rogue's DPS players pulled their weight so damn hard.

 

[Dragner]

As I said Surefour cant win alone, its impossible they win anything if AKM can go rampage without noone tossing him after picking Surefour.

 

[Anne]

Wow, Rogue's DPS players pulled their weight so damn hard.

TViQ used to play with the old Envy roster and akm is really strong

 

[Jokab]

Seriously every single interview I've seen on stage have been awkward to varying degrees. Since I assume these teams send their most charismatic players, you gotta assume they are all this awkward. Ugh how

What a play. Love watching pro Overwatch.

A lot of these players should have experience with this stuff, having played CS:GO, etc. But yeah, it always comes off as a bit awkward since everything is so new.

The interviewer who's name escapes me is doing a great job though. Super professional and good at asking relevant questions.

Teens and young adults who aren't media trained are awkward.

Surprise.

 

[Jokab]

Surprise.

No other esport I've watched have been to this degree. I guess maybe SC2 but that's a singleplayer game so you see everyone talk. At least in overwatch you have six players to choose from so you can put forth your least awkward one.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

This is the longest I have ever watched Twitch and an E-sport.

I have learned that I should totally use Tracer on every map.

Attack or Defense, doesn't matter. She's a beast.

 

[Antiwhippy]

"There's plenty of bread for that butter"

Top tier casting right there.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

This has been one of the most entertaining OW tournaments yet. Ster is pretty good at casting as well. Good stuff!

 

[Antiwhippy]

Clutch charge right there.

 

[Beckx]

Yeah, they are really solid casters.

 

[divisionbyzorro]

It feels like the influx of competitive players has completely fucked up the quickplay matchmaking. Literally every single game I've played since coming back has been a one-sided nightmare. Either we roll over with zero opposition, or we stand no chance.

 

[Antiwhippy]

And people want to buff winston.

 

[Azoor]

I hate it when I enter a brawl with another hero and I get killed while he literally has 1 health point.

 

[Beckx]

How did Rogue hold against that Reunited push.

Winghaven was clutch to finally take it though.

 

[TheLetdown]

And people want to buff winston.

Just a discord nerf. That'll do.

Tviq on Tracer was a hell of thing to watch. He tracks so well that it almost looks unnatural. But there's that tiny shake to his aiming that shows that nerves are at play.

 

[Defuser]

Dear players who pick snipers. If you can't aim for shit, don't bother to pick snipers in the first goddamn place you pieces of shit.

 

[Trey]

is this tournament ptr?

 

[optimus8936]

Well it's QP, so maybe they're trying to improve their aim? I don't see what's wrong with people who want to improve.

Edit: no the tourney is live. I'm pretty sure all tourneys stay away from PTR.

This is pre nerf and he's still used in the majority of matches.

 

[Twookie]

roig

 

[KiraFA37]

This Overwatch E-sport thing is highly entertaining.

 

[Beckx]

This is pre nerf and he's still used in the majority of matches.

I guess people don't understand his get in get out style or don't like that he needs another hero like Zarya to really shine.

 

[Beckx]

Winghaven and Valutaja are just owning this chokepoint.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Winghaven is seriously one of the best reins that I've watched.

 

[Beckx]

Winghaven is seriously one of the best reins that I've watched.

No question he outplayed Reinforce at the end of the Numbani round.

 

[WaffleTaco]

I think my goal now is too master at least six characters. Two DPS, Two Tank, One Defense and One Support. The only thing I really need to work though is a second DPS and a second tank. I'm pretty decent with Reaper, Dva, and Lucio and for some reason ridiculously good with Junkrat. I'm probably going to be working on Zarya and Tracer or McCree and Reinhardnt.

 

[Twookie]

that hero diversity...

 

[Beckx]

We got Tviq on Mei destroying people here.

I hope the Mei haters aren't watching, this will hurt them.

And then Kyb, damn

 

[Kuro]

Rogue has horrible tanks

 

[Antiwhippy]

Should have stuck with mei.

Also wtf was reinforce doing.

 

[Beckx]

Rogue has horrible tanks

Reinforce is amazing but he's being outplayed this round.

 

[Apathy]

lol the announcers trying to talk up ana more.

 

[TheLetdown]

I guess people don't understand his get in get out style or don't like that he needs another hero like Zarya to really shine.

Zarya really takes him up a notch, for sure. So does coordinated play, where it's possible to push to the middle ground to drop a bubble that your team actually advances toward.

These games, though, Zen is mostly kept in check by really high level playing from flankers. Genji, mostly.

The fun part is watching the Genji - Winston showdowns. It's all about who can manage their cooldowns enough to save for a GTFO.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

The commentator just used my favorite Overwatch saying

"Where is my team?"

 

[peakish]

Ster is passionate about Ana. And so am I

 

[Bollocks]

can't wait for competitive to come back, every single game last night had best case hero stacking, worst case 4 of the same heroes. already sick of that bs

 

[Shake Appeal]

It confuses me now when I see this in Quick Play. Like, "Oh yeah, this is how dumb the game used to be."

 

[Antiwhippy]

How the hell did reunited not capitalise on all those picks kyb was getting?

 

[Ketch]

Dear players who pick snipers. If you can't aim for shit, don't bother to pick snipers in the first goddamn place you pieces of shit.

Thanks but I'll pick whatever character I want. Deal with it.

 

[Kuro]

Yep genji is bullshit

 

[Shake Appeal]

Vallu choked.

 

[Beckx]

Winz, wow.

 

[peakish]

Jesus. Kyb slaughtered almost the entire team and they still held with like 1hp

 

[xaosslug]

NERF ZARYA!!

lol
