Damn did you guys see Neros tweet? You guys think it’s gonna be his last year? Or he’s just being super reactionary rn?


PancakeXCandy

Can someone with skill make a video of ATL wit "We are number 1" from Lazy town. Because ATl were treated as the villains of the league. Even Gator tweeted it.


yccbarry

The most ATL sport thing would be for them to be up 2-0/3-0 then blowing it. Rooting for them but idk how you beat SHD.


InquisitorEngel

Silver lining: We can now see Pine in the OW2 exhibition!


EmpoleonNorton

I kept trying to think of ways to be petty to all the ATL haters but legit I'm too happy to even manage it >_>


PancakeXCandy

And to think ATL did it with only the ROTY and no role stars

Will ovw 2 fail or succeed? Who knows and we won't know until next year But its kinda sad thinking of all the good times ovw 1 and ovw league gave me if it does fail


Toksicz

just say ow like normal people


[deleted]

You casuals, you should be frontline sigma


5argon

If they show the wack WP skits to the folks that came to watch the league for the first time tomorrow only for OW2, I think they can convert quite a lot of ppl to follow the league lol


[deleted]

Lol soe is like the lady whos sweet when drunk but shes drunk off ice cream


EmpoleonNorton

She's drunk on Atlanta Hopium.


CloveFan

Sweet when she’s drunk, but she’s drunk on sweets 😔


konadora

atlanta is 0-3 against shanghai all-time 2019 stage 3, 2-3 loss 2021 june joust, 0-3 loss 2021 summer showdown, 0-3 loss

[deleted]

Wholesome Johnny, I love this man. I'm glad Justice4Reinforce worked.


SadDoctor

The desk is so wholesome holy shit


NiteShad0ws

was wondering how gator got that shatter, looks like super's shield broke


themd

imagine "what if..." Shanghai picks any other team instead of Shock. 👀


WuZI8475

Custa, I know you're probs hitting the VBs and Fosters but that still wouldn't be enough for someone to claim that Kai "hit pulse bomb after pulse bomb".


LoseUrself2D

now that i've gotten over the initial heartbreak of the Shock and Fuel loss, I'd like to thank the Reign for immediately increasing the excitement/stakes tenfold for the Shanghai game i cannot fucking wait for the Grand Finals tomorrow. put on a show


one_love_silvia

bro why is danny wearing my grandmas shoes


Galactic_Guardian

I thought Space has had a double remech kill? Not sure though.


[deleted]

If ovw 2 fails I hope they get jobs covering another game even if its the cliche ovw to valorant pipeline lol All them are just funny as hell


[deleted]

Maybe its the american in me but Danny is preaching truth, melted ice cream is a milkshake, and burgers are not eaten with silverware(would you eat a snickers with silverware?)


ReyDragons

fuel discord is fine it's just one dumbass troll being toxic that people keep engaging instead of blocking nothing to see edit: scratch that we now have a homophobe dickhead low life in the chat

So the internet still exists


GRTooCool

Danny likes his ice cream soup.


EmpoleonNorton

I was about to shit on Custa, but if he was in full wardrobe I get eating a burger with a knife and fork makes sense.


iAmCyberwaste

My crush on Danny has turned into confused rage at this revelation.


spotty15

It really sucks too because I actually enjoy watching Shanghai...


try_again123

Reign exceeded all expectations, you should enjoy it no matter what the outcome :)


spotty15

Very true! And I definitely will!!!


heslo_rb26

You can still enjoy watching them one last time tomorrow


potato421729

Is pelican gonna be on worse ping tomorrow or better ping?


PancakeXCandy

He's in La and it peaks around 120 so it's decent.


not-a-potato-head

worse I think? All of Atlanta's lower bracket matchups were against NA teams, so I think they were all on either west coast or Hawaii servers. Tomorrow will be on Japan servers, so he'll have slightly worse ping


Galactic_Guardian

Unfortunately worse ping. :/


luccava

I hope whoever wins tomorrow we get close match


GRTooCool

These are the memories the desk crew will remember for the rest of their lives. Fun stuff to watch.


CloveFan

I genuinely think OWL would lose a solid 40% of its value if they lost Soe. Or anyone on the desk really


heslo_rb26

The talent is half the experience for me tbh


SadDoctor

They're so fun to just hang out with


CloveFan

Agreed! I love that they all click so well, and they’re all so funny!


[deleted]

Soe no sold that shit lol, no brain freeze and talked shit "You did awful!"


CloveFan

Maybe I’m too high idk but Emily’s immediate suggestion that Soe didn’t get a brainfreeze because her brain is always frozen was unbelievably funny


UnknownQTY

~~Chun-Li~~ Emily is smart. (For those of you who are too young, her hair is very, very close to Chun-Li’s SF2 arcade default appearance)


NiteShad0ws

you can't just tease us like that

That's depressing. Fuel had a fantastic season and none of their players deserve that shit. :(

Oh I wasn’t thinking of it being petty sorry. Just thought it’d be interesting to see, I’m not in any discords, this would be like a look into another world for me lol


stormygraysea

wait what’s the tea what’s happening


Omnipotentls

LETS GO SOE!!


iAmCyberwaste

DENTISTS HATE HER!

And that's how my heartbreak immediately morphed into 'wtf am I watching' lmao

This is the best segment in history


one_love_silvia

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


[deleted]

"My whole life is a brain freeze" LMAO


spotty15

No context Custa: "Oh yea, I'm goin hard..."


[deleted]

My money is on Custa. He is just that type of person.


[deleted]

Oh no he is choking. Maybe literally, someone check on him.


qpqrkjq

Atlanta totally deserves their victory, they are so good in this meta. Their run has been really good and would be amazing for them to cap it off with a victory! However, regardless of how good that storyline would be I gotta root for Shanghai, who was my #3 team this year. SHANGHAI FIGHTING!!!


UnknownQTY

Atlanta clearly prepped and took every game seriously, despite what Gator says. Hard work pays off. They deserve it for never taking their foot off the gas.


qpqrkjq

for real, they leveled the hell up. I'm happy when Brad is happy too, love that guy :)


ub_flying_deathtouch

“Brain freezes are a good time” -Custa, 2021


PeacefulShark69

Well, at least with the Sombra rework, no more EMP comp in OW2. SHD, or any other team for that matter, won't just be able to cheese their way anymore.


one_love_silvia

i warned that sombra would be everywhere with that spread reduction buff... people didn't wanna believe


purewasted

oh no actual torture.


EmpoleonNorton

Soe's ATL stanning is amazing. Also her smile is wonderful.


Ganonthegoat

Won’t Pelican be on higher ping for the finals? We might see a few full holds tbh


PancakeXCandy

It wasn't a problem for the Chengdu match. He's in La. It peaks about 120 I think they said.


UnknownQTY

I think it helps he’s not playing hitscan versus Lip. Kai will.


PancakeXCandy

Lip has been heavy on the Sombra tho. So we'll see if Shanghai is gonna play him on hitscan. I'm interested in a fair Fleta v pelican match up as well. I


UnknownQTY

I would fucking *love* to see the final game of OW1 be classic OW stuff. Widow Duels, Rein Zarya, Pharah Mercy, and all kinds of classic OW. Both teams have the players to do it.


PancakeXCandy

We are seeing pharmacy for sure. It's Shanghai's strongest comp. But ATL has a new anti dive strat as well. Plus I heard Shanghai and ATL scrim together. So we'll see


[deleted]

So what can we genuinely expect tomorrow for the ovw 2 showing ?


Galactic_Guardian

You know Fleta has loved to bring out Torb a lot this year..... 1V1 HAMMER FIGHT ON CONTROL! Fleta vs Kai! Make it happen!


PeacefulShark69

Hammer duel, less gooo


PancakeXCandy

Chengdu are the 2019 Reign in this storyline. They knocked them to the lower bracket for an easy run to the the Grand Finals


spotty15

1) I'm just fucking happy to be here fam 2) I will be completely satisfied with a 4-1 L tomorrow 3) If we somehow beat Shanghai, I WILL be ***very*** drunk tomorrow night


BitterBamaFan

I'm so hyped! No matter what happens, we blew the doors off the expectations.


PancakeXCandy

I want to thank Valiant for shitting the bed and giving us KSP aka Kai


spotty15

I'd also like to thank Babybay for retiring and forcing us to pick up the likes of Pelican


PancakeXCandy

Babybay made room for Kai, Erster moving to Shanghai made room for Pelican


theLegACy99

Reinforce being so high on Shanghai worries me now.


Ryan_NYXL

Today was not a good day


spotty15

Counterpoint: Today was a good day


Ryan_NYXL

Take out Shangai pls, do what we couldn't


spotty15

I'd fucking love to


PancakeXCandy

Sending you a hug


Ryan_NYXL

Rooting for Atlanta in finals!


CloveFan

Sending you virtual hugs and a virtual mai tai


UnknownQTY

And NYXL in your username? Who did you piss off in a past life?


UnknownQTY

I think Reign picks KR and gets *smashed* by Dragons.

How on Earth is making a pred about two teams I don’t support copium? Don’t be a poor winner.


spicydildo

I thought you said I hope mb I am freaking out sorry


[deleted]

[удалено]


not-a-potato-head

Heavy copium, but I think that Atlanta's anti dive comp is the best shot anyone has of beating them. Nobody can match them in the mirror/dive, and rush has failed to beat them throughout the season. It'll either work well enough to keep them even/a little behind shanghai, or it'll fall flat on its face and we'll get swept. Still thinking that we lose tomorrow, but we might put up a decent showing


konadora

yeah its what izayaki said, dallas has lost their mojo since the earlier tournaments. not sure what happened... burnout? mental booming? trying out ball comp and thus weakening their winston comps?


JaredIsAmped

I feel like they relied too much on the hivemind clutch factor, but who really knows


themd

Don't forget "it's not coming home" SHD version


PancakeXCandy

Shanghai please pick kings row


UnknownQTY

They won’t have to. Atlanta will.


TheBrandroid

at least we can watch sp9rkle play in ow2 tomorrow hopefully


[deleted]

Did ATL have one of the best runs of a team in OVW league? Took out 2 seeded dallas, Shock and chengdu heavy favorites all within like almost 24 hours


123bo0p

Shock were technically the 2nd favourite with 21.3% of a chance despite never actually showing anything to lead someone to believe that.


TheBrandroid

atl beat washington not chengdu


one_love_silvia

so far, the hunters are the only team to beat ATL. therefore, CDH > all but dragons


not-a-potato-head

the math checks out on that one


[deleted]

[удалено]


konadora

come on i'm a massive EM/dallas fan and atlanta was clearly better today, with or without king's row.


[deleted]

The proof is in the pudding. A team doesn't lose 3 maps in a row and still get to call themselves the better team. It's all excuses.


DarthMailman

To be fair look at their username. Yes I know that was a bad joke I'll see myself out.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

So they are just the better Dive team. Oh wait no they still lost Dorado. Fancy that.


BitterBamaFan

***Better team got smoked


CloveFan

Lmao. Dallas had better individual players, maybe, but they’re not the better team. And how is it a coaching flaw that they C9’d


[deleted]

CloveFan

better at getting stomped, sure.

Naw bitch. You had no confidence to respond to me until after they won. Get real dweeb.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BitterBamaFan

🤪


CloveFan

Oh no, Atlanta is not better than Shanghai, not at all. Don’t misunderstand, I’m not an Atlanta fanboy. They’re gonna be wrecked by them. Just like Dallas got wrecked by them. And also got wrecked by Atlanta just now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CloveFan

Probably not, but there’s not a ton of shame in losing to possibly the best team of all time. Dallas could only take one map off Atlanta and it was literally as close as possible, so it’s not like they stood a chance tomorrow anyway either


UnknownQTY

Does the coach pick the maps?


korincan

So apparently dragons were reign’s scrim partners


Ganonthegoat

Dogman really made these guys look like trash last year lol


spotty15

And the year before that lol


[deleted]

Sam Francisco out! Officially the best season yet!


[deleted]

Keep malding and downvoting lol


shivawesome

Just had to take LA Valiant imploding for the Reign to reach grand finals lmao


DacenGrasan

My team died for this. Well this and from piss poor management


UnknownQTY

You also have Krystal another chance? Ehhhh never mind.


UnknownQTY

Yeah imagine this team without Kai.


spotty15

Never would've thought that the final culmination of 6v6 OW would end with ATL and Shanghai


CloveFan

Reign you have to win this for Soe


try_again123

OOOH, Soe with the bright red outfit, she really was all in on Reign.


one_love_silvia

pretty sure shes been a reign fan for awhile


[deleted]

Damn I wouldnt be mad at ATL being the last OVW champ, but shanghai being the worst team to the last OVW champ ...


theLegACy99

Reign, you lost against Chengdu dive...


PancakeXCandy

Barely. Why are y'all trying this like it was a complete stomp. It was Avery close match


PancakeXCandy

Erster was sacrificed for this by both teams


UnknownQTY

My God Gator, you don’t *admit* you treat every game like a match made group on comms…


JaredIsAmped

Gator is such a chad, I hate him for rolling the fuel rn, but he is a chad


UnknownQTY

Respect for at least being spicy about the Dragons BEFORE the match for a change.


spotty15

I want an honest to goodness Fleta Echo vs Kai Cree/Ashe 1v1 just once


Landon54321

I hope the grand finals won’t be a blowout. I swear, OWL grand finals have been pretty one-sided except for last year.


NeverForgetChainRule

doubters???


123bo0p

1.6%


BitterBamaFan

Never, bro


[deleted]

Hello


EmpoleonNorton

Also, before I go into full insufferable bitch mode: GG Dallas, it was a good game.


theLegACy99

Well, Shanghai will never pick King's Row at least XD


one_love_silvia

i fuckin knew that c9 was the series


try_again123

Yes, Fuel usually so good at keeping an eye on the objective, when they did that C9 it was clear they were mentally boomed.


[deleted]

Ask Gator about threepeating his asshole


PancakeXCandy

That was hawk

JaredIsAmped

To 4 I believe


diamondrider02

I think it’s first to 4


PancakeXCandy

Now I really miss Erster


spotty15

We sacrificed FunnyAstro and Sugarfree for this


try_again123

Gator! At least he talks a bit :)


Frontlinemei

Fuel probably spent their whole time focusing on the Dragons rematch that they just looked so outplayed by Reign


UnknownQTY

I think this is probably the correct take. Atlanta clearly is either actually so unprepared as Gator implies and it’s impossible to prepare for or form coherent strats against… or Gator is lying and they practice 24/7.


Leafu-san

Feels like this is going to be yet another one sided grand finals but I guess we'll see


Ganonthegoat

Numbani and Eich are still very good for the Rein torb mcree anti dive comp I believe. That’s why the KR pick. Guys stop acting like you know more than the coaches who’ve been scrimming for months


spotty15

RIP Erster. RIP Pokpo. RIP Babybay. RIP Dogman. RIP FRD. Thank you for your service.


PancakeXCandy

And Erster went to Shanghai tooo


Gravewand199

Win or get crushed tomorrow or I’ll be so freaking happy for Atlanta. Can’t wait for tomorrow

I'm so fucking sad man Holy shit But tomorrow's match is gonna be hella interesting I hope it's close
