Loving OWL so far. Entertaining stuff. Haven't really watched that much of competitive Overwatch before, so it's a nice surprise.
Ok...very happy that Blizzard improved the site a little. Games and scores are now on the main page, so it's at least accessible if you know the website. Next steps would be to make the game more instantly understandable to people who know little about it. In order for this to succeed in this environment they have to turn sports watchers into esports watchers.
Excited for these matches and especially for Dalls vs. Seoul tonight.

WHAT THE HELL is this Pine player. His Mcree is fucking amazing. Never misses the flick shots.
This tournament is way easier to watch than the previous one. There's still room for improvement though, I feel like it still looks chaotic/confusing for someone who doesn't play the game.

Todo list : S;G0, New Game, Erased.
Dallas and Korea are the teams to beat for sure. Pretty good showing, but I hope people can actually beat Korea at all this season.
BAD WOLF
Dang. Dallas is not looking good tonight
I guess it's going to happen. Welcome to sports. Maybe they'll eke it out on these last two maps. We will see.

*Edit*
Also, MODS, do we want to retitle this to just "Overwatch League Megathread"? Would probably be the best place to have it as I don't see it supporting an entire subforum on this site.

Damn, now Dallas is 0-2 in the real season. Blargh. Oh well, gotta burn blue even when you feel blue.

Well, the season is long, they'll recover in no time!
Fate/Envy are incredibly good tanks.
Fuels 1 min stall with 4 tanks and moira/Lucio was fail because they brought lucio instead of Mercy.
If you push a button that finds you a 'random group' and it gives you a random group of people with random skill and random knowledge then you have no right to complain that a 'random group' button did what it was designed to do. The fault lies in your inability to make friends to play with instead of relying on a button designed to be random. It is a 'random group' button, not a 'best of the best' button.
And it isn't enough for 4 tanks, discounting roadhog since he can maintain himself lucio only gives a fraction of life back where a mercy gives tons of single target and can rez, they would of had a better chance without lucio. Moira can do aoe healing most of the time but not always, Mercy would of made a huge difference.

Yeah i am also cheering for Dallas, sad to see them lose 2 games in a row. And yes, more content is needed on the main site!
They wiped and didn't get back to the cart until after they hit the first point, so how did Lucio's speed work out for them? Tanks don't need speed, they need healing and damage buff, both of which Mercy does, not to mention that when you rez a tank they get up with more life than a squishy dps.
Also Lucio is very rarely in the meta unless there is a boop edge to knock people off of, of which no one was near in junkertown.

That's how Junkertown works though, there's not that many fights if defense lose one. And tanks don't need speed? Where were you during the tank meta to have missed that? (and also all the other metas) It's just now under the Mercy meta the teams have changed Lucio for Mercy, otherwise he's been ussed well over 90% since release, even on maps where you can't boop people off
