    get hype for this playoffs weekend

    s'gon be good

    OWL Stage 3 playoffs will be the most competitive to date
    Unless the Houston Outlaws and the Shanghai Dragons manage an upset, the semi-finals and finals all appear to be virtual coin flips. The entire extended weekend promises to deliver concentrated top tier Overwatch.

    Well that went about as expected.

    Here's a little thing I noticed on Eichenwalde that I thought was neat. Linkzr gets Primal'd off the bridge, but right clicks on the way down to deny ult charge.

    There's also a little game when trying to stagger someone where whoever is doing the staggering will try to melee the other person as they fall off the edge to get credit for an environmental kill (melee does a tiny amount of knockback) and the other person will try to jump afterwards to shed the knockback status to make it a suicide and deny the charge.

    Hmm, so quarters... I could actually see the Dragons pulling out a surprise upset. Probably a bad pick, but oh well.
    Definitely Valiant over Spark.
    Definitely Shock over Dynasty.
    And Titans over Outlaws. Outlaws upset Titans previously, but I don't see it happening again.

    That would mean Titans vs Dragons in semis (Titans)
    and Shock vs Valiant (Valiant)

    Batting 1.000 so far!

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    @Kana my power flickered and then my computer wouldn't boot up so that's why I disconnected.

    Also Valiant upset Titans, not Outlaws.

    Why does Shock refuse to run DPS comps? I don't understand. They have the talent.

    It's actually kind of weirdly frustrating that they have the lineup for DPS comps and dont play them, but also, in spite of every other team throwing out DPS comps, they can force goats and *still win*

    Though, I guess it's more that they're so good at goats that when it's clearly the time/point to play goats they absolutely steamroll, but they struggle at basically any other time

    (I'm still rooting for them though)

    Woah, what the heck? That's crazy late. I thought they'd stick to their normal time of noon/early afternoon... I wonder if it's for ABC/television reasons?

    Both games are on XD so I guess so. Sucks to be shock/valiant for the finals though

    It can't be Shock/Valiant for the final. They face each other in the semifinals. And I'm not sure why that would suck, anyway.

    What I meant is that the final starts only 11 hours after the Shock/Valiant game ends.

    Oh. That makes way more sense than the way I read it.

    As much as I would like a Dragons Valiant final I'm calling it 4-1 Titans, unfortunately. I don't see Shock beating Valiant, though, unless Shax somehow only has Atlantic EMPs.

    Yeah Shock looked really shaky in the quarters and Valiant is shit-hot

    I was doubtful of Valiant making it to the finals before playoffs started, but now I'd be surprised if they didn't. I reaaally hope they make it, and I reaaally hope they win

    I am loving how about 90% of Gamsu's mines are being used just to drop them on slept people.

    Also twice in a row at the end of their offense he dropped them right before bumper comes charging straight through on rein.
