It's a shame China won. I really would've liked France and Thailand to go through to the quarters. I'm rooting mostly for Thailand, but I also really like France.
That screenshot is months old. :/

I' am shaking, GAF. Got promoted to Master by getting 3500 SR on the dot. I started at 2800s, went up to 3100s, down to 2500s, and then back up to 3500. All solo que too.
Man, the climb in the early 3000s is much easier than the 2500s. The game is much more fun to play too because everyone are somewhat coordinated even without people talking. I got really lucky with good teammates too.
Seriously guys. I need some help with this.

Really cool looking.
Btw, if you want some POTGs, ask MarioHead3. He has all of them.
Same experience, but I'm playing later than usual. I normally have to wait 3-4 minutes to find a game now :\
What screenshot?
The Volskaya screen has been like that for a while, but nothing in the ARG has linked Sombra's activity to Russia, IIRC.

Me too. How many Meis can there be, really?

You guys have been a blast to watch though.

time for grandmaster

Oh god, it's so on when that happens. Always with D.Va, too. And then they die. I've toned down my competitive nature as I've aged, but that will still get the old blood boiling.
No way. Grandmaster is like top 240 on PSN, and the level of play in that echelon can sometimes be overwhelming. I played with and against top 100 guys and they just seem on another level.

I felt the same way, and then I started splitting up my Hero choices depending on what stage the fight was in. I'm Tank/Support exclusively, so I have one of each ready for each stage. It's really helped, and it's a lot more fun.
Nah, grandmaster is top 150 about. Games in grandmaster are a lot of fun, people actually know what they're doing for the most part.

As Zen, all the time. Not so much with anyone else.
I'll say this, I played with top 100s Genjis and Tracers and they seem a nightmare to fight against. But, you're right, the more coordinated the people play together the more fun the game is.
So she is a defense character? That first ability seems kinda trash though. If I am playing with a team, I would rely on my teammate's healing to build their ult unless I am a flanker.

That's the hand from the giant omnic in the background, not multiple omnics.
Second one is so vague that I'm surprised they tried to claim it at all.

A defense buff... why would that spoiler claim to know health packs become damage and ult is mass slow but we get a vague defense buff?

lmao, that's def. one way to shoehorn her into the meta. xD

Her ult will be the only way to counter a passive ability?
Hmmm
Medkit hacking seems way to situational and, uh, lame?

They said it interfered with enemy damage outputs, which is just a defense buff. I honestly hope she cuts into his playtime in some way.

medpack hacking IS useless. Imagine choosing Sombra and running up to all healthpacks and hitting E or shift to turn it into corrupted healthpack but it ends up that your team is using them instead. It's so situational.

It's not useless. It's just not fun. On defense especially you could have a Reaper/Tracer etc. flanking behind on Volskaya, take some damage, run into the bunker, die. In fact I'd say that's a pretty huge Tracer counter.
It just doesn't seem like something that would take any skill or timing. Just push a button on every pack you see (I'm assuming that teammates can pick up corrupted health packs normally, if they can't that helps the strategy aspect, but also makes the ability even more lame.).

You have until 4 PM PST.
Agreed. She looks badass, & I especially love that coat.
Yup, I've grouped up with some of the best genjis and tracers out there and they can make quite a difference.

I dunno, killing tracer is always fun.
I agree, we need someone that competes with Lucio with some area of effect stuff.

I sincerely doubt the health pack sabotage is real. I've seen that as a "leaked" ability before (that one had her having stealth and her ult being a disable/mute as the other skills).
The reason why I can't imagine this as something Blizzard would add is because it's so incredibly ludicrously specialized. It's even more niche than Symmetra is currently, and she's getting a rework to exactly counteract her being such a niche pick. And that ability would also be terrible to counter flanking because it's incredibly situational - you don't know which flanking route is going to get used, and even then health packs aren't necessarily going to get picked up during engagements.
To top it off, most of the flanker characters have self-sustain/healing abilities. The only one I can think of that doesn't is Genji. Reaper, Roadhog and Tracer all can heal themselves.
The other skills on both "leaked" movesets don't seem very counter-flanker to me, as well, so there's no synergy at all.
So a whole character for the mere chance at perhaps maybe getting one kill off of a poisoned health pack every few games? No way Jose. Blizzard is better than that.

22 boxes + $20 later. Skin-wise, I get Junkrat, Roadhog, Reaper, Reinhardt, Bastion x2, Soldier x2.
I didn't want any of those gggrrrrr!. All I wanted was Mercy, Ana, and/or Zenyatta. Nope. Instead, I got almost every single Halloween outfit surrounding them. The RNGoddess really blessed me during the Summer Games event, so I guess my favor with her ran out.

Be merciful today, Blizz. It's all I ask of you.

Anyone wanna spare their unwanted Reapers?
He was the last legendary Halloween skin I got, and I got him at around 100 boxes. :/
I got only 3 of the event purple tier skins out of ~130-140 boxes, which is kinda shit.
