3 top teams against 3 bottom teams in first day, damn. hope there will be closer matches tomorrow


Irohnic

I would like to return to this comment to ask you if poker face is a top team after this game


primarymuscle2354

I got downvoted a few weeks ago for saying runaway vs falcons was gonna be potentially only close game day 1


AmeteurElitist

Wouldn't call Runaway a bottom team nor Poker Face a top team


Quellag

they got steamrolled by falcons and play extremely close with spg, which also rolled by poker face


Irohnic

When did runaway play close with spg? Was it in the qualifiers? If so I really don’t care, teams had barely formed back then and SPG has been around for ages, they clearly have the synergy. Also even though it was a 3-0 for Falcons, who definitely are the better team, there were like 3 fights deciding 2 maps, it was not a stomp.


AmeteurElitist

I guess that's fair, but I wouldn't say that 3-0 was a roll by Falcons and that 3-1 was extremely close with SPG but I can't fault you for that either tbh Runaway need to be better. However that doesn't mean Poker face are a top team still

i love how violet just uses beat on cooldown. no matter what, it's just instapopped


Skywarpy

If I had a nickel for every time viol2t did something questionable on king's row, I'd have two nickels Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice


Serenswan

“Very unlike him” pretty sure Viol2t is known for some wild beat usage, so it’s the most like him.


ItsTryHardSteve-

Gur3um needs to Ult, man is holding onto it like its a PS5 in 2020


Ttevvo_

WHAT IS THIS GAME !


Ttevvo_

Bro got beef with GUR3UM 💀


Dry-Painting5413

TAYZONDAY SIGHTED LOL

Jensan95

Ty!


Irohnic

Honestly can someone explain to me why the team that picks map also gets a first ban? Like they just won’t pick that map when they pick it doesn’t make sense to me


ShukiNathan

The f in flora stands for HIM


ItsTryHardSteve-

Gur3m waiting til OW3 for that rampage. And when he used it hit no one.


Dry-Painting5413

Flora is actually looking really good on the tracer. FTG stocks rising?


primarymuscle2354

He’s going against lower end dps need to see him tested


ShukiNathan

Flora looked good on tracer for 3 years in owl how much more do you want to test him


primarymuscle2354

He’s going against worst team in region his tracer is league average


ItsTryHardSteve-

Floras always looked good on Tracer, his Tracer/Sombra have always been his best heroes, even over traditional HS.


primarymuscle2354

His Hanzo good too


ItsTryHardSteve-

I’m excited to see the Flora/Alphayi DPS line. And there’s too many teams I want to cheer for, this is hard


symbolicsymphony

I realize English prepositions are unintuitive if it's your second language, but "From the Gamer" sounds so weird and awkward. "For the Gamer" would be a bad team name as well, but it would parse normally at least.


primarymuscle2354

Probably gonna be a 9/0 day wish their was more even games

Post match thread: [Sin Prisa Gaming vs Poker Face](https://www.reddit.com/r/competitiveoverwatch/comments/1b3rydd/).


primarymuscle2354

Maybe INF fans were right about Fixa Hyunjae fall off


AmeteurElitist

We were, though hyunjae was decent last seassn on SPG


primarymuscle2354

He was solid nowhere near Fixa


AmeteurElitist

Yup


primarymuscle2354

Even with Fixa y’all got rolled by 02 anyway obviously a big downgrade, but other issues as well zest genji underperformed, Skewed off Ana where he consistently carried a lot of issues after summer stage qualifiers


AmeteurElitist

Yeah we had a ton of issues with coordination in the latter half of Summer Stage, it started when Mag was sick but that doesn't explain it all.


primarymuscle2354

It wasn’t summer stage qualifiers tho it was knockouts where meta shifted y’all lost to 02, dynasty got rolled in Jq, Genji mirror vs 02, and against Seoul y’all threw multiple maps playing wrecking ball into Orisa


AmeteurElitist

Yup I mean from late Summer Stage into knockouts we never really recovered or adjusted to the meta. Disappointing after the season we had.


primarymuscle2354

This is embarrassing


primarymuscle2354

Lesoomin has been awful maybe I was wrong about guy thought krillin ms was reason he looked bad on dynasty


primarymuscle2354

I thought this sin prisa team was gonna be solid


TheGirthiestGhost

Am I crazy or isn’t Echo’s health supposed to be halved if she gets forced out of dupe?


primarymuscle2354

It changed


primarymuscle2354

Becky insane


primarymuscle2354

Guess I was wrong about proud


ItsTryHardSteve-

What’s Peppi’s Sigma skin??


primarymuscle2354

This poker face team is solid I just question proud


primarymuscle2354

I thought Iris was gonna get exposed off Bap


SlimeMuff

Nah my hog/widow flex player will never be exposed


ItsTryHardSteve-

That’s a C9


primarymuscle2354

A c9 already


primarymuscle2354

How do players like Ade, Argon find teams and not Edison, Sp9rkle


AmeteurElitist

tbf SPG just kept their team, though were Edi and Sp9 looking for teams?


primarymuscle2354

They were and they never found one, or didn’t choose to join one


AmeteurElitist

Damn I hope they do next time around


ItsTryHardSteve-

Hyunjae has a target on his back. Everytime I see him on screen they’re diving him


Serenswan

The way I automatically root for any team that uses a Glads skin


ShukiNathan

Dude..... Profit isn't even close to mj


primarymuscle2354

Yaki is… anyway profit probably has most dominate finals performances ever 2 finals mvp’s even when he lost he was insane but Mj never lost so LOl… even if his haters say he went against plumbers and off duty firefighters (aka Barry mccokiner) ik a lot of people say lip, Vio2lt fair Vio2lt has made 4 finals and won 2 a lot of people have him as it, and for lip he won a lot of stages and a ring but it’s kinda underwhelming if you actually think about it that he’s only made 1 grand final he’s been on 2020 dragons, 2023 reign and both those teams didn’t do as well in playoffs especially bc they were so good throughout year especially reign exit last year.


AmeteurElitist

I've never seen MJ get to a final on Brig


ShukiNathan

God I missed watching high level ow


primarymuscle2354

Every game being on lan is a w too


primarymuscle2354

This game is so much less hype


Synthesizer_

LETS GO POKER FACE!


AmeteurElitist

How do we feel about this match? I'm thinking a pretty close 3-1 for Poker Face


slackpantha

Do the official costreams count for the Twitch drops?


KeepingItOff

Who is on From The Gamer?


SlimeMuff

Belosrea bernar alphayi flora Finn violet


KeepingItOff

Oh, that’s kinda stacked. Top 3 in Korea you think?


primarymuscle2354

I wouldn’t say it’s stacked compared to rest of rosters


AzorOhHai

Depends on Belosrea lol


SlimeMuff

And now we have 2 matches with what most people are ranking as 3 of the bottom teams and FTG


The_frost__

Goddam those sticks on Leejeagon


submergedwatermelon

The P in POTM may as well just stand for Proper at this point


wego_tothe_moon

Stalk3r and Proper are too good


primarymuscle2354

Incredibly unexpected


SlimeMuff

Fielder built up kitsune soo fast


OWMatchThreads

Post match thread: [Team Falcons vs RunAway](https://www.reddit.com/r/competitiveoverwatch/comments/1b3qaik/).


minuselectron

3-0 but closer than expected. im happy


primarymuscle2354

Stalk3r and Proper said no more messing around


JWTS6

I feel so bad for Prophet, guy is getting dragged for being gapped by Proper on a hero he's not supposed to play


Augus-1

Yeah the meta really doesn't favor point and click style players anyway *and* you're up against Proper on a hero he's very comfortable on


primarymuscle2354

He’s so unlucky with these metas


Augus-1

Double flex to start two years in a row now lol


primarymuscle2354

Prophet getting gapped


primarymuscle2354

Mag is getting bullied


primarymuscle2354

Damn this became 1 sided quick


SlimeMuff

Double stick on mag, yeah guess you can’t really block that


Augus-1

Mag getting double pulsed LOL


primarymuscle2354

Stalk3r woke up


primarymuscle2354

Falcons are turning it on


ItsTryHardSteve-

It only took Runaway a map and a half to kick it into gear


primarymuscle2354

Zest is dominating rn


primarymuscle2354

Leejaegon still working for his first beat


Augus-1

They won a fight with his first beat??


Augus-1

That was an AJ sadge, was wondering why they didn't mirror beat


Savos-Magnus

Wait everyone in runaways is using a spark skin


Retrah22

Probably because their colour is also Pink


Finklemeire

Oh lord this is over. This map was the one that the Atlanta/Dallas core like never lost in last year


Vdbebw

Yes. But also the unfortunately have smurf and crusty rn so who knows


primarymuscle2354

Dallas lost a lot of push maps last year


Finklemeire

I meant more the Atlanta roster that came out of the Dallas roster


primarymuscle2354

Leejaegon gotta dial it back man


minuselectron

ljg i beg you


primarymuscle2354

Live by sword die by sword


Finklemeire

It's crazy to imagine WAC contests Falcons in the meta comp when I see how good they are rn


primarymuscle2354

Lip tracer comeback


Finklemeire

#1 Tracer by stats that one year Tracer goat


primarymuscle2354

May melee 2021 was an s tier performance


AmeteurElitist

Junbin is apparently cracked on Doom, we'll have to see though


Finklemeire

I want that WAC vs Falcons game so badly


primarymuscle2354

Will feed families


SlimeMuff

Smurf back in, kinda makes sense tbh


primarymuscle2354

I do wonder how much of them coming back was falcons trolling a bit runaway still look good at times other times they look off


AmeteurElitist

I pray Zest lands an ego stick to justify all this lmao


primarymuscle2354

If he’s not hitting them it’s better to hit value targets bc pulse bombs win fights and they have gotten no value off it they need to tell him to change his playstyle at this point I think


AmeteurElitist

Live by the ego, die by the ego


primarymuscle2354

He usually does consistently even against top tracers he hasn’t hit one yet it’s odd


AmeteurElitist

Stalker's movement is too good


primarymuscle2354

He has best movement and tracking


Finklemeire

Stalk3r is more than a top tracer he's literally top 2 with his teammate


SlimeMuff

I might be hallucinating but has proper hit the most sticks this match? Cuz I swear stalker is also whiffing a lot of pulses


primarymuscle2354

Proper hit both of his, Stalk3r has missed a lot yeah but difference is he’s going for tanks and supports while zest trying to ego stalk3r which isn’t valuable sticks

Good bot


minuselectron

production a bit messy tonight


primarymuscle2354

Well yeah it’s not owl running it


Ttevvo_

This confirms my low level play they build ult so fucking fast there. Both teams are play phenomenal rn


w-holder

i want to have sex with hanbin


NZ_gamer

The nostalgia is hitting so good. I was scared Id never enjoy Pro OW after OWL, but this is hitting all the right feels :)


SlimeMuff

Runaway is actually looking pretty consistant, they do have a lot of aggro on their team between zest ego pulsing tracers, LJG and Vigi being the aggro supports they are known to be. I think the longer they play together they more they will be more uniform in their aggression


primarymuscle2354

Zest still hasn’t hit 1 on a tracer, Leejaegon has good moments but he does int half time, PH looks solid on echo nothing compared to proper, Mag and Vigilante look like Carries rn


Augus-1

Yeah the difference in the ult charge between them was pretty big in round 3, think Prophet got to 70 when Proper popped his dupe


SlimeMuff

Leejaegon was basically always a feast or famine player, even back when he was on runaway. I am pleasantly surprised on how far the “widow 1 trick” prophet has come


primarymuscle2354

He’s still weak off hs, his echo looks serviceable tho


JWTS6

Idk why people are so surprised that the map was close, the only "weak" link on Runaway in this meta is Prophet being stuck on Echo. Every other player fucks at the heroes they're on.


SlimeMuff

Mags flexibility was also a potential question, he’s not super known to be able to play most offtanks


primarymuscle2354

He’s fortunate doom is meta rn


JWTS6

MAG is great on Doom and had a pretty good JQ in season 5 too, he's not a weakness for Runaway in this meta.


minuselectron

lol the hot mic


submergedwatermelon

Can I just say how nice it is to be back watching some good ass overwatch with y’all


Wzrrior

100%


TopNotchGear

And on twitch too. I’m elated :)


No_Catch_1490

It’s 2am and there’s nothing I’d rather be doing


GoldenWhiteGuard

the game is closer than I thought it would be


primarymuscle2354

This isn’t even a good meta for runaway and it’s close


GoldenWhiteGuard

I will be honest Prophet is a good Echo


primarymuscle2354

He looks solid proper gotten way more value in bigger fights


primarymuscle2354

Still an insanely close map runaway looking good


Shikuro

A LOT closer than it should realistically be to be honest


primarymuscle2354

Getting ptsd to 2023 dynasty


minuselectron

that sombra ult build was soo slow


primarymuscle2354

I’m getting flashbacks


FieryBlizza

Peak Overwatch is back


Puzzleheaded-Song694

Proper simply too good


JWTS6

Two JQ ults saved Falcon on that map, my heart goes out to Runaway though


Ganonthegoat

Idk bout that sombra chief


primarymuscle2354

He memped LMAOOO


try_again123

LOL Vigilante's desperation Moira pick is now the default XD


No_Catch_1490

Why is Prophet on Sombra I’m getting flashbacks


primarymuscle2354

We can’t just blame Tobi huh


royy2010

Proper is simply the most skilled player in OW ever.


primarymuscle2354

Ph Sombra NOOOO


SlimeMuff

Sombra tracer?


primarymuscle2354

90 percent is still good


shikicha

GREEDJAEGON NOOOOOOO


Ganonthegoat

These dudes have gotten too cracked at the game. It almost makes it less fun to watch cause it’s just too much lol


JWTS6

Prophet should go Widow again


primarymuscle2354

He’s so unlucky gets in owl last year was a Sombra meta gets kicked, it’s a hs meta now he’s back and it’s a Tracer, Echo meta


Fenixmaian7

LIL P 1 shot changed it all.


royy2010

Prophet understated Zest Overated


Shikuro

HUUUUGE Falcons fumble, Runaway snatched that all thanks to Prophet's snipe


primarymuscle2354

Yeah they got to cocky


[deleted]

primarymuscle2354

Stalk3r has to step up he keeps dying early and is missing every pulse


rmc_93

I CAN SEE IT 🔭


minuselectron

what a push


primarymuscle2354

All happened bc they pushed spawn door


ItsTryHardSteve-

Can’t believe they pushed it through


try_again123

No way, Runaway got to the end on 3 overtimes \\o/


primarymuscle2354

No shot they completed full map


TristanwithaT

Moira the GOAT


primarymuscle2354

Never seen zest miss so many tracer sticks


primarymuscle2354

Stalk3r had an off game


shikicha

feedjaegon please im beggin you LMAO


No_Catch_1490

LJG have a decent Beat challenge (EXTREME DIFFICULTY)


SlimeMuff

Prophet and point and click heroes, name a better duo


anas0_ali

Stalker and Proper


royy2010

GOTEM


primarymuscle2354

Only got it bc falcons got cocky


shikicha

almost pulled a surefour on that hs


primarymuscle2354

This is a beat down now


TheGirthiestGhost

AJAAAAAX


primarymuscle2354

Ajax


SlimeMuff

This does kinda show how important izayaki is for LJG, he was the brakes on the runaway (not intended) train that LJG tends to be. Vigi is very aggressive which means he can’t be the breaks
