    It really is crazy how much depth there is to most characters in Overwatch

    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.

    Ever since learning that looking down with Lucio changes the angle of your wallride jumps (a bit like Winston's short jumps) I feel like my ability to get around with him has improved 1000%

    I was always getting caught on ledges and doorframes.

    My internet exploded. Not sure what's up with that. Sorry about the DC. Hopefully it figures itself out cause it doesn't seem to be anything on my end.

    So Muma has got to be the most exhausted person in OWL right? The analysts are always talking about how demanding tanking is in the current meta and he's almost exclusively solo tanked this whole stage.

    aw boo, there was a patch today

    i had a really nice round in TDM where me and my teammates were all poppin that i wanted to save the replay of, i got boostio'd twice during it

    you'll just have to imagine my highlight where i was wallriding and baited out a flashbang, received the nano, doinked the mccree as he started high nooning in response, then turned and finished off their hanzo as the boost wore off

    Me and @Death of Rats ended up in a few games of Hero Gauntlet together and ran into quite the character.

    Literally every time he died he complained about something in chat. I know I sometimes react to things in chat and sometimes kinda strongly but this guy was neverending.

    Here are a few samples:

    Fuck you

    Fuck you killstealer

    Fuck a Mei

    Y'all are so toxic

    My dad works for microsoft (a good joke)

    1v1 me (I think he was serious about this one)

    Fuck you

    Probably my best, and most nerve wracking blade ever. Okay, so far.

    I think that was actually my hand shaking, and not the video quality.

    What is going on with the casting teams? This is so weird.

    Edit: For anyone not watching, it started out with Uber/Mr X before the match started, then it switches to Monte/Doa and no one mentions it at all. Monte/Doa were casting the Twitch stream, but Uber/X were still casting on the POV streams and on ABC. Then on Volskaya it was Monte/Doa for the first half of the map, then Uber/X for the second half.

    The early start time was nice for me. I got to watch all the games while working, and didn't have to watch on phone after I was done for the day. Great matches today too!

    Holy moly, Shanghai finishing that Hollywood with 0.1 seconds on the clock. And then in the same match we had that Volskaya where they completed with the same time.

    Work league is picking up in a month so I guess I'm coming back to this game. Have they touched my darling roadboi in the past six-ish months?

    IIRC his spread on his weapon was reduced slightly and they tweaked the knockback on whole hog.


    You can definitely still murder folks with him if that's your concern.

    Yeah, combined with the nerfs to D.Va and other goats characters, and the buffs to Orisa, Hog is a pretty solid pick these days.

    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)

    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.

    I admire your dedication to Valiant, but Hangzhou already beat them earlier this stage (it was close, but if anything I think Hangzhou underperformed and is primed to beat them in a rematch) and after dropping two this stage Shock has a MASSIVE chip on their shoulder. I'd be surprised if they beat one, positively flabbergasted if they went to the finals.

    That being said, I'd have no problem with every single playoff match being an upset.

    Yeah even if Valiant did beat Titans I don't know if they're consistent enough to pull out a stage playoffs win...

    I want to believe in Shock but they've seemed a little lost unless it's a map where 3-3 is the only viable comp. It might be enough for them to beat Seoul though.
