And now that I think about it, Bastion does make a lot of sense against a 3-3 comp.
Reaper was showing up a lot today too
@Unionhawk Yeah, Reaper chews up tanks, although getting in melee range is a bit of a risky proposition against 3 of them.
Particularly with Roadhog and Reinhardt.
00:52
I mean you nano boost a death blossom and shit dies fast

Q: How does PTR and normal Overwatch mix?

Иво НедевAny experience I earn, any lootboxes, any levels I gain in the PTR, do these apply in the normal Overwatch regions or are they PTR specific ? I remember hearing players getting gold drops and then going "aww man shame this is PTR and I wont get the item"

Q: How far and how wide does Reinhard's Earthshatter reach?

ZibbobzI play Reinhardt a lot, and I've noticed that when I bring my mighty hammer down, it doesn't reach nearly as far as I'd hope it would. More often than not, a few enemies are either just out of reach of the area of effect, or just at the edge, even though I could swear they were within the area...

I feel like Mei is going to see at least C tier this week lol
Both NRG and Liquid are running a mei
14:30
It's kind of funny because weeks ago Ster predicted that the legitimate Mei and Ana strats were coming and people laughed at him and called him dumb
14:53
I think a lot of teams are using Mei to try to counter nano boost
Wall that reinhardt out and freeze him out too if he gets through
That, sleep dart, and earthshatter are pretty much the three potential saves
Oh man, Liquid takes map 2. Come on NRG
Seagull with the Mei of the Match
Oh god the Seagull bastion is a go
But it doesn't work! D:
The Pharmercy is 2strong4seagull
They were expecting the triple tank plays
15:26
AND A TIE ON NUMBANI
...now wat tho
Oh, decider on Nepal
15:44
All right, NRG up 2-1 on nepal. Come on guys close it out
Oh they did it was a 2/3 decider
maybe
YES NRG TAKES THE SERIES OVER LIQUID AND WILL BE ADVANCING TO THE NA SEMI FINAL
vs... EnVyUs, I think

I'm playing eichenwalde for the first time!
18:26
@KevinvanderVelden Took you long enough
@KevinvanderVelden I got it like 4 of 6 matches this weekend.
@MBraedley RNG does not want me to get new things
I got a set of regular headphones but my headset is still kill
But at least I'll be able to hear directionally
@KevinvanderVelden Maybe you should have been playing when they had the brawl on, like the rest of us.
18:54
Eichenwalde is fun
...interesting play by C9 with the attacking bastion
I'm excited to see Team USA play now that I'm more familiar with the rest of the players
5 esports players and 1 grandmaster streamer and caster with esports experience
19:12
Ahahahaha! I launched Overwatch and my Internet immediately died.
cries
lol seagull
> They're making us do more things. And by us I mean me.
@Yuuki Have you tried playing over a VPN?
I mean, it'd be worth a shot.
19:27
WHAT
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MAP SET
EICHENWALDE, VOLSKAYA, HANAMURA, DORADO, NEPAL
... Hanamura?
wtf?
I think it's loser's pick from that set but I don't actually know
I got 3-2 NRG
Like, last series was very standard
Just watch, Seagull's gonna pull the floating platform Bastion on Volskaya.
That Attack Mei.
Like I said I anticipate seeing Mei in C tier
Ana/Lucio seems to be the support favorite, zen has seen a lot less use
Speed boost is so good from a disengage standpoint as well as a rush in standpoint
AHAHAAHHAAH
Gets Nano'd, ults, and jumps off the side.
... what was he doing with that Rip-Tire?
I don't think he realized that reinhardt could see it
It'd also depend on comms, maybe he was getting info, or waiting for the cart to say 3+ (contested or otherwise)
Oh my god
iddqd is a monster
This is a steamroll
Oh my god Buds
I am unsure about my prediction now
Ok, so it is some variety of selection
Loser's pick, sounds like
THE ICE WALL
20:07
Ugh, they didn't manage to get IDDQD off the high ground.
inb4 nano boosted buds blossom
Sooo many nano-boosted Reaper ults.
Such meta very wow
SPEAKING OF DOGE...
Zenyatta Doge https://t.co/tlmtH627p2
Oh no
This looks bad for NRG
NRG now needs the total reversal
Sure, stacking stuff on Reaper is risking stuff, but he can so easily wipe a team that I don't think it's an actual risk.
Reaper with Nano Boost and Zarya bubble... I can't think of anything.
20:26
They really can't stop that McCree.
iddqd is just a god
No their only way to win is a strong first point hold
Yeah, I was thinking about suggesting Widowmaker.

Q: Who can crouch the shortest?

KaizerwolfWith the addition of a new hero, and with more on the way, and with the new emotes for sitting or laying down, I started to wonder about this question. Which hero has the shortest crouch in game? Who has the tallest?

Oh man
Is the dream alive
Is the reverse sweep real
I'm still thinking about how to stop Reaper with Nano Boost and Zarya bubble.
20:33
THAT BODY BLOCK
LOL
Waitw... OH
Right
They win if they capture B
Duh
Really? Asking him to talk about Tracer and not McCree?
Hmm... you could try to break the bubble fast and then CC Reaper, but boosted Reaper really only needs a split second to crack a team wide open.
3 KOTH maps in a row? Daaamn.
20:57
Well, it's not in a row, it's loser's pick I think
Oh yeah, that's just their selection.
Or maybe "they turned these 5 maps on in the custom game and that decides however the fuck it wants"
Also I had a quick Ilios game just before this started back, got destroyed round 1, swapped to reinhardt so I could hit their reinhardt with a hammer, and we won
His reinhardt blocking game was great, his hammer game was not good
Damn, Envy just got shutdown.
Yeeeeah
I'm predicting 3-2 nV by the way
Judging by your history, could it end up 3-0 nV?
21:05
No I predicted 3-2 NRG
RIP that teleporter
This is a super interesting comp for nV
@Unionhawk So 3-0 Fnatic then?
I think the Control maps are going to favor nV
Come on, Blizzard even has the proper pronunciation whenever you zone in.
It's Lijiang, not "Li-JANG".
Yeah, and they apparently mispronounce Eichenwalde!
Come on guys
@Unionhawk It's incredible how wrong it is.
Especially after getting Mercy's regional German accent right.
21:23
Aww...
Every time someone gets woken up from sleep, I feel a little pain inside.
I am excited to see a lot of these players on a country-type stage
That Graviton hold.
ogon po gostayoffmypoint
Yeah, given how they just got wrecked on KOTH, Fnatic kinda has to pick the other not-KOTH map.
Yes
I love the hand warmer strats
21:31
And the casters just go super quiet.
It looks like losers pick map and side maybe idk
Ooo I am looking forward to Talespin's pharah
But iddqd tho
GET REKT
IT'S HIIII- *rocket to the face*
coolmatt like nopenopenope
I just want to study the play of high level support players
Wow
That's a nice time
I think I'm going to put some more time into playing tanks.
especially after the first map
21:39
Been mostly playing supports.
@Yuuki Tank is one of my favorite roles
We might be 3-1 at this rate good lord
Like, I just want to study good tank and support play, because it's so satisfying to pull off
But I feel like I'm kind of just ok at it sometimes
YEAH BECAUSE YOU'RE A FILTHY CASUAL
MISSED NANO BOOST
THAT HURTS
22:01
God, I love sleep dart.
It's going to be 3-1
Jesus, Taimou.
Calm the f--k down.
Hmm... will we see US v. Russia?
Will we? I don't know
Yeah that was a nice Play of the Day
I think I'm going to try to get some hog play in
But probably end up playing reinhardt a lot
22:28
Oh boy, Numbani. Can't wait to see to some Bastions.
 
1 hour later…
23:37
I just had a game where a bronze healing zenyatta was talking shit about us at the end
And I'm like "mercy got a healing card, and I got silver, no, you don't get to blame us"
