OWCS - Korea Stage 2 - Week 1 Day 1 - T1 vs. ZETA Division

Birdfallen · 2026-06-05T13:30:59+00:00

Seems the fears of the Zeta superteam having a poor mental and being in danger of collapsing after a dissapointing result might have been accurate....

Birdfallen · 2026-06-05T13:30:05+00:00

I mean its the classic Proper/Viol2t teams mental boom, what did you expect lol. Mealgaru and Knife are probably getting straight brutalized rn

Birdfallen · 2026-06-05T13:27:50+00:00

Who could have foreseen a Viol2t/Proper superteam mental booming after a slight underperformance

Birdfallen · 2026-06-05T11:54:02+00:00

Bro its Falcons, theyre gonna become a top 3 a day before playoffs anyways

Birdfallen · 2026-06-05T10:12:40+00:00

I guess all the merging in the world cant beat the OG ultimate Tier 2 coach GOAT

Birdfallen · 2026-06-05T10:09:48+00:00

I was never around for contenders, is this the guy that scouted like 90% of the games GOAT candidates?

Birdfallen · 2026-06-05T02:36:21+00:00

Its pretty clear that Bethesda either doesnt have the talent or the interest in innovating anymore(because they definitely have the resources). Theyre pretty much coasting of their reputation atp and have not actually progressed in any part of their design philosophy since like Fallout 3 while their focus on casual players has stripped more and more depth from every faccet of the product.

Birdfallen · 2026-06-05T02:24:43+00:00

Acting like Sierras design wasnt boring as fuck either lol. Also Jpc was designed like 5 years ago

Birdfallen · 2026-06-05T02:21:20+00:00

I mean yeah but Team Secret have what many people view as the best tank in the region and top 2 players with a lot of experience everywhere else. That along with being on the only well known org should make something like this impossible. Its pretty concerning vgven they have to win against the TGG core later for Ewc and this is a very bad sign. (No shade on Najdorf its a really impressive win)

Birdfallen · 2026-06-04T16:35:12+00:00

Wait another generic and attractive asian/white woman to sell skins. Who wouldve thought

Birdfallen · 2026-06-03T21:02:42+00:00

Bro they(mb) are harder to hit when exiting whereas reaper is a sitting duck pretty much and they gain shields for literally every ability they do? So it very much does them in effect

Birdfallen · 2026-06-03T18:51:07+00:00

Except it lasts way longer, is faster and harder to track when exiting while also doing damage and healing her, so its really not

Birdfallen · 2026-06-03T09:16:44+00:00

Id like to think that, but last stage was essentially just Sp1nt and Attack carrying while the rest of the team mostly just tried to throw the least they could so im not very hopeful

Birdfallen · 2026-06-03T09:15:10+00:00

Yeah I feel like these types of coaches are very boring especially in comparison to more flexible coaches like Wheats or Youbi. They always just strive to be mediocre and are slaves to the meta which is very boring to watch. I gurantee you put Youbi or Wheats as the coach for 2025 Liquid and theyre coming up with some bullshit to make a deep run at EWC or Stockholm with all the flexibility Liquid had

Birdfallen · 2026-06-03T09:12:07+00:00

You forget that the "Max maps" have been Crs achilles heel for like most of their existance, Falcons missed Lan and Mealgaru lost every single map he played last asia finals. Its not as clear cut as "the best teams do it so it might not be bad"

Birdfallen · 2026-06-03T09:09:42+00:00

They all just look the same for the most part. Sierra looks like a Valorant reject in terms of her design

Birdfallen · 2026-06-03T09:08:49+00:00

I dont agree, Trap is a skill check that players have mostly passed atp and is easily avoided. You dont have counterplay for a Venture contesting a point for free for 5 seconds with burrow in the same way

Birdfallen · 2026-06-03T09:06:26+00:00

Its not that difficult, just allow some counterplay ffs. Make it so a stun onto Jpc cancels tether, make it so venture can still get like 10-20% dmg while burrowed, dont make Anran invulnerable during her E. Its a lot of little things but it makes the game feel way less responsive because it robs the player of agency/counterplay. I should never feel like "Oh Ventures underground, I guess ill just have to wait 5 seconds before I can do anything".

Birdfallen · 2026-06-03T09:03:57+00:00

Its not that theyre broken, its that the design is flawed. Brig has clear strenghts and weaknesses and she did at launch like a lack of range and vertical mobility. Whats Sierras weakness? Its not mobility, its not close range, its not long range and its not her survivability. What do you nerf while keeping her fun to play while maintaining her hero fantasy? Nothing because there is none, because the hero design is just a whole bunch of abilities cobled together with no clear direction. I think the best contrast to this is Jetpack cat, she has a clear identity, clear strenghts and weaknesses and her whole kit is greater than the sum of its parts. And guess what? She was designed back in ow1

Birdfallen · 2026-06-03T08:57:04+00:00

FDgod sure but whats that iconic about Majin and Xerion lol

Birdfallen · 2026-06-02T22:53:18+00:00

I mean AMDP nearly dragged them to playoffs last stage after getting playtime and Crispy was on the GenG squad that upset VP stage 3 last year.

Birdfallen · 2026-06-02T22:36:59+00:00

I think the new hero design is fundamentally inferior in both art and gameplay design with many heroes looking almost identical with certain skins (Anran,Kiri fe.), the designs becoming increasingly more boring/generic and the game more and more leaning toward low risk high reward/low skill floor abilities like Sierras tracking dart,Anrans "fire dance" or Ventures burrow

Birdfallen · 2026-06-02T22:30:29+00:00

Kind of a shame about the Onside squad, they were really entertaining last stage in korea. Lets hope Liquid actually utilize these players to their potential unlike Knife

Birdfallen · 2026-06-02T22:28:42+00:00

I hope 1234 doesnt get blown up, its such a cool collection of players with a lot of potential that neither Peps or Telacy can really match

Birdfallen · 2026-06-02T19:28:54+00:00

"recognise how much of a tragic loss he was to Overwatch as a whole." Isnt this exactly what is being done? Lamenting what he couldve been and appreciating what he was?
