    I'm getting pretty bad stuttering on the channels that aren't OWL. And for some reason on the twitch app can't even lower the quality on those streams? OWL gave me the full range from utter crap to 1080, but owcc1 and 2 only do 1080(source). I've never seen that before.

    Twitch channels need to be a certain size before Twitch will spend the processing power to convert your stream. I would think ActiBlizzard would tell Twitch to make an exception but I guess not

    It's odd cause I'm pretty sure I've been on band streams with like 15 people where I had the downconvert option.

    I'm really enjoying this LemonKiwi/Jake caster duo.

    Edit: This Australia/New Zealand match is pretty hype so far.

    meanwhile on the main OWL twitch channel they're streaming the bracket that hong kong's playing in

    it's like they're trying to keep it fresh in people's minds

    Heads up, new content is supposed to be announced during opening ceremonies at blizzcon at 11, followed by people streaming said new content at blizzcon at 1pm -- so far I've heard that xqc and seagull will be among those streaming, i wouldn't be surprised to see fran and emongg among them too.

    also as a result of xqc streaming during the owwc group stage, Mangachu is going to be filling in for him on tank, should be interesting at least. a little unlucky that their first opponent is Russia though.

    I would really love for Mangachu to step up and take that job, or for xqc to just go away forever

    I don't even care how good he is, I'd rather cheer for a team that didn't have him on it

    OK so OW1 gets access to the new maps and heroes, shared environment, cosmetics stick around into 2. So basically buying 2 is engine visual upgrades and pve content

    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.

    so it's really more of an expansion pack

    that's pretty neat, actually

    I wonder how much it will cost

    Shit I'll probably buy a sequel that's just the pve stuff expanded even if it ends up being full $60.

    I dunno about this OW2 UI. Was hoping it was maybe just PVE but it's in PVP, too.

    Edit: Some changes seem nice, some are probably just aversion to change that I won't mind after I get used to, but a bunch of it kinda seems like change just for the sake of change.

    As others have said, I'm interested in OW2 but price is going to be a big factor for me.

    OW2 looks better from a technical standpoint, but I dislike the changes to the art style. Mercy especially looks terrible.

    It's possible that they won't, but to be honest I fully expect them to carry over. This is much more of a content-heavy expansion than a true sequel, and the fact that all cosmetics carry over bodes well for those others to stick around too.
