great bo3 set, but how did envy lose when they were 2-1?

Hanamura Mei strats and something else I missed

 

[twobear]

is anyone else getting anything like this? patches of the floor turn black when you're standing/looking in certain directions. it's only certain textures and only when you're standing in the right spots, which makes me think it's probably not some fatal hardware issue? it seems to be affecting decal textures (the small black squares are bullet holes when they're displaying correctly).

only happened in the last couple of days, so post-patch/after installing new drivers.

[edit] and i've only noticed anything in OW

 

[optimus8936]

Did I just hear that Envy lost? O: Now that's something to wake up too lol.

 

[-Mikey-]

I would love a way to spectate in game like Dota.

Gotta say Soe does a fantastic job, she is normally native german speaking but her english is very good.

hmm, either gfx dying or bad drivers for ur card, if it starts appearing in other games its probably gfx dying

See if you could cook eggs on your GPU.

Did you try reinstalling the drivers and the game?

I got the same thing as tracer at the attacker start room of numbani. I didnt think too much of it since u have to go to a specific spot and look at it. Mine was near the center wall and looking down to reproduce that black floor/no texture floor.

Trying reinstalling drivers but I dunno how to get rid of it all is there some extra program to download to do a clean sweep

Reassuring thanks! What GFX card do you have

 

[Mush]

I just realised every hero has been played at least once... except for Torbjorn.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Man, I've been popping off as hanzo in ptr. Hitboxes are kinda whatever, but that speed while drawing and projectile speed is clutch.

[Pilgrimzero]

Kyb's Genji is just godlike

gtx 980 and im using fast sync.

 

[peakish]

Guess Anubis was Reunited's map pick? Almost didn't work out for them, hah.

E: Wow, they have custom POTGs! Decent production values I have to say.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Again.

Tracer is hellspawn confirmed.

 

[AngryMoth]

Someone played Mercy?

 

[KiraFA37]

Question, once this match is finished is it straight on to the finals or will there be some downtime?

 

[Bboy AJ]

Twitch can't keep up with a Tracer stream.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Sombra!

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Valutaja is a fucking awesome name.

Fun to say.

 

[peakish]

So Reunited's Dorado defense strategy is to stall at the enemy spawn for twenty seconds and then have time to regroup on the market before the payload pushes there? Seems dangerous.

I disagree with that decision pretty heavily :S

 

[peakish]

Doesn't seem to be working out for them at least :V

 

[Copenap]

Great to see how even all these teams are. Seems like everybody can beat everybody.

 

[DeadlyParasite]

I missed playing ranked season 1, was the payload gametype included? Just asking because I'm getting ready for season 2 and payload is my best game mode with Lucio.

Yes it was. Dance on the payload all day with Lucio

 

[toastyToast]

EU final

RIP America

 

[Beckx]

Reunited v Rogue rematch should be great

 

[optimus8936]

Damn Reunited with that clutch defense

 

[Copenap]

EU final

RIP America

Natural order of esports has arrived at Overwatch.

 

[divisionbyzorro]

Okay, where can I watch VODs of all of this action?

 

[TheLetdown]

Okay, where can I watch VODs of all of this action?

The problem with VODs is that you miss the most informative, educational, kind and generous part of watching these: Twitch chat.

 

[ExMachina]

Damn, what a tourney this has been. Hoping this first international showdown will be the start of a back and forth between the scenes and motivate NA... they especially need to deepen their map pools. Casters kept talking about how the NA teams have had more exposure to diverse strats and hero picks, but the differences in game modes are way more dramatic than between swapping out a hero here and there.

Anyways, rooting for Rogue in the grand finals. Always been a big fan of TviQ and Knoxxx and the brothers (Winz and aKm) have been so impressive throughout this event.

LANs really are the fuckin' best.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Yeah NA exposed on 2CP.

 

[ExMachina]

Okay, where can I watch VODs of all of this action?

It's still live - grand finals will be starting soon:

https://www.twitch.tv/esl_overwatch​

As for VODs, the channel's pretty quick about highlighting all the matches if you want to catch the earlier games. All of Day 1's already up.

 

[Tensketch]

Did the captain from Rogue just say 'we better rape them or I'll be disappointed?'

Reunited better destroy them.

 

[ExMachina]

Reunited better destroy them.

Uh no. He said "wreck." O.O

 

[Tensketch]

Uh no. He said "wreck." O.O

I'm glad I misheard him. But I still think he could've said something a little more encouraging.

Still rooting for Reunited either way.

 

[Beckx]

AKM has been outplayed this round but somehow they've kept Reunited from finishing.


Jesus Reinforce, this isn't your tournament.

And yet they stop them.

 

[Anne]

Rogue can misplay 2-3 fights in a row, but then Tviq or aKm go off and just snowball two fights.

 

[optimus8936]

I can't believe Rogue won that game, I was sure they were gonna get held at the beginning of the payload. God damn.

 

[Beckx]

Tviq is MVP

 

[AngryMoth]

Jeez that was hype as fuck

 

[Moonkeis]

Damn that was good.

 

[R0ckman]

Had a match where my Zayra ult just did not work got it 3 times and nothing happened.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I was playing with a group of friends last night and it occurred to me that I'm very glad that I don't mind losing in Overwatch. I only play Quick Play, granted, because fuck Ranked and the toxicity that comes with it, but I always just try and have fun with who I'm playing regardless of what the rest of my team is doing. If they're good and we work together and win, great. If they're shit and only interested in chasing kills and beg for healing from across the map, whatever. But I will sit on the payload and try my hardest anyway because I think the base gameplay is so fun that I really don't mind winning or losing.

My friend was getting really grumpy that we kept losing because of the extras on our team who would pick attack Hanzo or Widow or both at the same time etc and she was just becoming really snappy and overly serious and it really killed my vibe.
