@@jackfeng813 Yeah man. I heard Kurt's massive team of attorneys have quite the iron grip on the platchat members. Bren's lucky he got out only having to pay minor legal fees tbh, who knows how long Kurt would have twisted the words of the law to keep him chained to platchat.
Matt "Those videos are so long Josh you gotta get 'em down" Josh "Oh yeah, we're on Plat Chat Matt, with this episode, we havn't even got to the first topic because we're talking about all sorts of wierd shit, it's gonna be like 2 hours, lets get to the first topic" *Checks length of video* Don't know why I expected something else.
Funny thing is, Tracer zipping around back of Doomfist trying to get the advantage on him while he blocks incoming bullets with the gauntlet is exactly what we see in Doomfist's origin story.
I think teams learned from OW1 the importance of a good coaching system and that's why I refuse to believe in spark until they undergo a BIG coaching change.
There are 16 players from Season 1 I believe (some of these players have taken breaks or have gone down to contenders but are from season 1): Danteh, Carpe, Fearless, Profit, Fury, Space, Anamo, Kariv, Izayaki, Striker, AimGod, Fleta, Void, Fate, Poko, Hotba There are also 6 players who are heavily involved with the league in coaching, but no longer playing: Jake, Tobi, Rascal, Kuki, Miro, Neko So counting in all, 22 players that I have seen that are from season 1 and are still around in some significant way. Shanghai Dragons have the most Season 1 players currently signed, with having 1/4 of the current active players. (if anyone else knows if there are more floating around please add them with a comment! This is meant to be more informative since they were kind of wondering in this video how many there were still around)
@@marozid1 mmm thank you!!! certain players who are still playing a pretty big role in a team like those ones I would like to include as well, even if they aren't playing, they are still around as influences and coaches etc.
@@olivergames7783 Thank you much! I'd like for people to remember coaches and players who are still supporting the league, even if they aren't playing any more themselves. :)
@@Alex-nk4pk In the power ranking episode, reinforce kept defending Boston by calling them a "professional organization", which everyone made fun of lol
On Boston and their woes...like, please someone tell them to just play: Striker, Valentine, Punk, Crimzo (if healthy) and Faith....like please unless there's just some weird specific circumstance, just these 5 like 9/10 times...and they would see more success. And the funny thing on the Paris Eternal and Titans, both are going 0-7 most likely this stage. Both only have hard games left and neither team is escaping with a win this stage. Which is pretty sad Yay for APAC this week!!
If they wanted to move on from Naga after a year of playing with him, they could've not renewed his contract in the offseason and get a new player then.
It’s also fun when they talk about things they say just being used by social media managers for clips, and makes me laugh a little that f**kitseominsoo does SMM for Justice
It's like Sideshow doesn't even understand how Bren's Player of the Week works. Goes with the obvious choice of Proper when the SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY was RIGHT THERE.
Henceforth, the world spun faster to approach August 14th, the day of days, Vancouver Titans day, the greatest day in August 14th History, when the Vancouver Titans 3-0 the Paris Eternal. Mr. X can retire knowing that he gave Canada the confidence for their teams to be good.
My friends and I called the reaper zarya comp battering lamb. We couldn’t decide if we liked the name battering ram (cause it just breaks fight open) or sacrificial lamb (since Edison just kept trading his life for fight wins) so we did both
Wait you're gonna rely on Bren to watch OWL? Every Bren episode: "I'm gonna be completely honest guys, I haven't watched any of the matches" Can't wait!!
I’ve left you some dickish comments in the past. I’m sorry. Thank you sideshow for still talking overwatch. You’re the best to have ever done it. This community would never be the same without you.
I don’t understand how they can think that glads were better than Dallas. The team that won the last fight on the first two maps were going to win which shows how close they were. Dallas kinda rolled glads on eichenwalde. Glads destroyed Dallas on Olivia ruins but Dallas were better on the other two and Dallas won by quite a bit on new queens street. Just my opinion but I really think Dallas could’ve 3-0d
I think it's really terrible that teams don't have to pay payouts to terminate players' contracts. Player protection needs to be increased because Naga for example has just been fucked out of a salary after 2 WEEKS of the new season. Utterly disgraceful, I'm a big football fan and player protections seem to have to come a long way to get even close to sports like footy
Completely agree i think teams have just figured out how to counter doom. Ppl didnt really know how to the first week. But just making one hero swap to tracer counters doom and tracer. Crazy Also ya i agree and have less confidence in Houston than Atlanta in being able to be more flexible with comps. But at the same time for Atlanta why havent we seen them even try to swap out to gator? Especially in the sweep loss to Washington? At least houston tried subbing in piggy several times already.
Season 1 players who are still on an active roster as players include: Poko Fury Carpe Profit Architect Fearless Danteh Striker Diya Fleta Fate Void Hotba Izayaki Space Kalios I didn't miss one don't check this totally didn't take me like 30 minutes shut up
I haven't seen a Widow on Dorado performance like that since one time when Florida had BQB on the Widow and it felt like the cart never stopped on their Attack round. I think teams have realised the weaknesses of Doomfist tank, if he needs to reposition on peel for his team, he's wasting cooldowns and if he tries to block damage, he's just slept and picked off, the big dude only has 450 health and none of that is armor unlike many of the other Tanks, I think he's been figured out by some team comps.
ive been an advocate for minor buffs having slightly more upfront damage on his rocketpunch by like 20 damage and 30 on empowered when full charged and maybe adding some charge time to compensate if its too much and a second off of slam No reason power block should be vulnerable to hook and sleep hes harder and riskier than winston but his lack of winstons efficiency and consistency sees doom once again being a specialist hero its so easy to explode on doom if teams focus you since power block has a long CD
I think this signing went under the radar but Chengdu picked up Daizi (formerly Riven of team Chaser) when they dropped Aprita, Farway, Creed and Yveltal. So they have plenty of options at tank.
Soldier ult always seems to favor the team with winston tank. Reaper team seems to benefit the most from having Zarya. Doomfist need their own tracer to follow up and bother the other team's tracer. Though many teams are using Genji, I don't think Genji fits into the meta too well at this level of play. Both widow and pharah seems to be in a good place, it works when it works, it sucks when it sucks. Echo seems to be a gamble and benefit the most when enemy team has a zarya because even with 300hp you can do so much with 2 bubbles.
I love Johnny's absolute disappointment in the Washington Justice, I feel the exact same way. I've stopped believing in them because even when they look good one week, they do some stupid thing and look terrible the next. I swear Custa has the hottest takes, if these power rankings were purely based on his opinion I would be malding more than I already am (no offense Custa, love you but not your power rankings)
I think zar comps are really strong but doom comps looked strong at first too. The tracer obj presence is about to become hard meta tho that’s for sure. 1:51:00 rio zarya and faraway zen gonna be sick i'm calling it now!
Im surprised we havent seen more sombra being used in a similar way, especially on push. Uncloaking and stalling the bot for even a few seconds and then having a 100% guarantee to get away is huge
I feel like the shock struggled from that last year a bit too, they invested ultimates in unwinnable fights and went too aggressive in moments. Hope both teams do really well this year.
I don’t like how they talked about the glads fuel game, they talked about how glads threw this away that they underperformed and if they didn’t they would have 3-0d Dallas but they completely ignored the fact that Dallases dps literally played ass they underperformed soo much on an individual basis nothing to do with coordination or synergy it was literally the rest of the team playing that well that won them the game
For the G9GA on Zarya? Chengdu picked up DAIZI from Team Chaser and they have a nutty Zarya. If they can play Daizi on Zarya, Leave on Tracer/Soldier and Jinmu Genji. Chengdu will still look good. I have them over Seoul 3-2.
@@bradyboon3054 well Smurf did play a fair amount of Zarya in 2020 Mainly becuase Choi was the better Hog out of both of them, and Shock hadn't tested Super on Hog yet Smurf's Zarya wasn't anything special, they got straight up diff'ed when they tried to mirror Justice's Hog/Zarya Overall, Smurf is a decent Zarya, above average compared to most other Main Tank players. Also, I doubt Seoul will lean into the Zarya too much, unless she becomes Hard Meta. After all, Smurf is the 2nd best Winston in the League (only under Fearless), so I think Seoul will rely more on Dive comps
"The viol2t lucio hasn't been like.. bad" ok but it has though. people give him kudos for not feeding, but every other lucio has more impact. his way of playing it is really safe and dated, yet he dies more than most lucios on the scene. don't get me wrong, it's insane that he's this good off-rolling, but they'd be much better if they had signed another specialized support for that role
@@petrnovak4846 becuase Lucio is meta, and Shock don't have a traditional Main Support player. Sure, Shock could try to play Double Flex Support, like Baptiste Zen, but Lucio is overall better.
viol2t has always been an extremely aggressive support, so even when he tries to play passive im not too surprised that he feeds sometimes on the lucio. idk if u remember the shock vs Houston match last year but viol2t fed his brains out on bap and almost single handedly lost them a map
Shotgun Dive, that's what I call Fuel's comp, they dive like a shotgun shoots, surprisingly accurate despite most people thinking it isn't, ie reaper being a "tank"
I think in terms of contracts, they should just allow for contracts that are more so looked at by month lengths as opposed to yearly. I think it would allow for less "shady" drops and orgs would easily held accountable for months
What the hell is going on with Johnny's mic cover? It looks like his dog has been chewing on it. You can't expect us to take your opinions on which teams are professional organizations seriously with a mic cover like that.
What is this illusion people keep repeating like a broken record that "shock haven't been tested"? Someone said that and everyone just ran with it. They clearly look like the best of the best that's played so far. Chill.
Yea, after they beat LA next week people will be saying “They haven’t been tested because they haven’t played Dallas” and after they beat Dallas people will say they haven’t been tested because they haven’t played Shang Hai
When people say haven't been tested they don't mean they are not a great team. I don't think you will find anyone who would not put them in top 3 NA. It's just like where in the top 3 are they. Glads, Dallas and Shock are clearly the best but nobody really knows sure how to put them. Glads lost to Dallas but were the better team. And shock hasn't played any of them jet. So that what people mean when they say haven't been tested. Are they number 3 or number 1 nobody knows jet. After this weekend we will have some indication though
I think its more bcuz so far this seaosn they haven't versed any good teams yet. Aside from houston but they've been one tricking doom so if u counter it (which shock did) then u can win. We havent seen them go up against glads or dallas yet so it's hard to gauge if they r the best team in NA or if they will be like top 3-5 or something
Ooor, hear me out on this: It's because they literally haven't been tested... They pounded very weak teams and exploited the huge glaring flaw in a midling Houston. They look the most cohesive, sure, but that doesn't change that they haven't actually been tested.
It's a dumb narrative. The Shock have been tested, they don't need to be the best team in the region to show that. There are really only two teams left that anyone is interested in seeing them play still; Glads, and Dallas. The latter of which was dunked on by the Outlaws, a team who is higher in the rankings ..... and the Outlaws themselves were just recently demolished by the Shock. We have already seen the Shock perform in the most dominant fashion of any team so far this year, and you can bet they will bring it against the Glads this next week.
Idk if there are any settings to fix this on UA-cam my end or plat chats but premiered videos after I’ve watched part/all of them won’t ever pop up in my recent tab on the app. I have to remember to come back and finish watching and was wondering if anyone else has this when watching on mobile/iPhone too? Edit 9 hours later: IDK if you did something but it is fixed.
Thank you Sideshow for staying in platchat overwatch and still covering the game ❤!!

Washington were going to be really good and then custa said he thinks they're good
Right? He just cursed us… ggs go next season I guess
The support line was very bad. And everyone was hyping up mag to be roty and thought decay was gonna pound.
production quality going up a lot, huge props to the producers of play chat (kurt)
Hearing "Houston, Gladiators, Atlanta Reign." "Oh for fuck sake." was the best moment, just the realization that it will never happen.
Imagine Vancouver gets hard swept 3-0 August 14th
There are 16 players from Season 1 I believe (some of these players have taken breaks or have gone down to contenders but are from season 1):
Danteh, Carpe, Fearless, Profit, Fury, Space, Anamo, Kariv, Izayaki, Striker, AimGod, Fleta, Void, Fate, Poko, Hotba
There are also 6 players who are heavily involved with the league in coaching, but no longer playing: Jake, Tobi, Rascal, Kuki, Miro, Neko

I haven't seen a Widow on Dorado performance like that since one time when Florida had BQB on the Widow and it felt like the cart never stopped on their Attack round.

and a second off of slam
No reason power block should be vulnerable to hook and sleep
hes harder and riskier than winston but his lack of winstons efficiency and consistency sees doom once again being a specialist hero
its so easy to explode on doom if teams focus you since power block has a long CD
Amazing episode, top quality entertainment. Matt genuinely brings the laughs.
I think this signing went under the radar but Chengdu picked up Daizi (formerly Riven of team Chaser) when they dropped Aprita, Farway, Creed and Yveltal. So they have plenty of options at tank.
I like how they just don’t know Chengdu has another tank who literally mains zarya
I stopped watching OWL after the first game this year, but I love just listening to Platchat and seeing what’s going on
can you please make the power ranking next week with APAC at same time so it will be all 20 teams?
Spitfire are placed 3 right now so 9 teams below London - get up to speed cast
Hello, 911? I'd like to report a murder. Custa killed Jonny.
Soldier ult always seems to favor the team with winston tank.
Reaper team seems to benefit the most from having Zarya.
Doomfist need their own tracer to follow up and bother the other team's tracer.
Though many teams are using Genji, I don't think Genji fits into the meta too well at this level of play.

Echo seems to be a gamble and benefit the most when enemy team has a zarya because even with 300hp you can do so much with 2 bubbles.
In the Zarya comp, reaper has the same role as Winston does in double bubble comps in 6v6

If you ask me Glads were overconfident (at a lot of points in the match) and dropped the spagehtti because of it.
Overconfidence is a silent killer
I feel like the shock struggled from that last year a bit too, they invested ultimates in unwinnable fights and went too aggressive in moments. Hope both teams do really well this year.
I think my problem with Boston might be Valentine. I’ve never been impressed by this player and he’s looked mediocre at best so far this season
I can't wait for profit to pull out the zarya in map 3 with Fits and Stalk3r as the dps line.
Missed opportunity to call the reaper zarya comp, the bubble walk.

So that what people mean when they say haven't been tested. Are they number 3 or number 1 nobody knows jet. After this weekend we will have some indication though
I think its more bcuz so far this seaosn they haven't versed any good teams yet. Aside from houston but they've been one tricking doom so if u counter it (which shock did) then u can win. We havent seen them go up against glads or dallas yet so it's hard to gauge if they r the best team in NA or if they will be like top 3-5 or something
Ooor, hear me out on this: It's because they literally haven't been tested... They pounded very weak teams and exploited the huge glaring flaw in a midling Houston. They look the most cohesive, sure, but that doesn't change that they haven't actually been tested.
It's a dumb narrative. The Shock have been tested, they don't need to be the best team in the region to show that. There are really only two teams left that anyone is interested in seeing them play still; Glads, and Dallas. The latter of which was dunked on by the Outlaws, a team who is higher in the rankings ..... and the Outlaws themselves were just recently demolished by the Shock. We have already seen the Shock perform in the most dominant fashion of any team so far this year, and you can bet they will bring it against the Glads this next week.
Idk if there are any settings to fix this on UA-cam my end or plat chats but premiered videos after I’ve watched part/all of them won’t ever pop up in my recent tab on the app. I have to remember to come back and finish watching and was wondering if anyone else has this when watching on mobile/iPhone too?
Edit 9 hours later: IDK if you did something but it is fixed.
Love the graphics Kurt if you’re reading this too, everything looks so great/perfect and idk what more you can do.
We want avast
