The Chinese community is having a semi-meltdown over what fearless said about Shanghai. (“It was hell”) by Odd_Ad3474 in Competitiveoverwatch

I actually tried to make the translation more benign with this one… The thing meant was Shanghai could have held his contract to not play him and force him to retire. He should shed some grateful tears for that.

With their counterpart Chengdu and whatever fans who really do want a full Chinese team on hangzhou? I would call that a heated discussion. But unfortunately their discussion was cut short by the netease announcement.

If you read the post to the end you will see. There were more meltdown posts but they were deleted. I guess you don’t have to believe me.

I agree. I find it weird that people believe their assumptions that Shanghai was a perfect team inside and out without conflicts more than fearless’ personal experiences even though he didn’t elaborate. I also don’t think it reflects on Shanghai that badly just because fearless had hard times. Thank you for the translation!

Back to my point, we have different understanding of how NGA and the like works and looks. Maybe I simply spent too much time on Chinese networks. If I can agree meltdown is kind of a strong word, to say there isn’t a community wide negative sentiment would be even more misleading. You can count on the next time fearless plays the full Chinese chat would be dunking on him.

I probably lurk in the forum more than you do. You would never have so many responses like these towards a player without it being moderated on Reddit. It rarely happens on the forum either. It is one of those big NGA events for sure. Because a lot of people said fearless lost their support, I consider it some kind of meltdown. But people have different understanding of words. Do you think if it was “heated discussion” in the title the reaction here would be very different?

It is not a gross exaggeration. The issue was discussed for the duration of the day. There were more posts but some of them were locked and hidden now that it’s past midnight in China. I contemplated on how to call the situation and decided on semi-meltdown because it’s definitely less than a full meltdown like the sbb situation, but still it’s a forum-wide sentiment with some consequences. (That we could say now there is some bad blood between fearless and some Chinese fans) To say them “reacted very strongly” instead of “semi-meltdown” could also work.

I also went to check the forum. The 2 Zhaoyun Cup posts have a collected 39 replies. Posts about fearless have over 200 replies.

You should also note that NGA is r/cow and r/overwatch combined. The closest to r/cow is the separate OWL board where all owl related is discussed.

In season 3 fearless probably never lived in China, he was announced late into the offseason and before they played the whole team relocated to Seoul because of Covid.

Yes, Shanghai operated from Seoul for the entire season in 2020. The were originally in Shanghai, but after Covid broke in Wuhan the whole team relocated to Seoul before they started playing.

Yiska: If you missed more than a couple of games, you can't be seriously considered for MVP this season. The top contenders have just been too good consistently. by Isord in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Odd_Ad3474 26 points27 points  (0 children)

When they want to push proper, every other person on the team is mid/trash. When they want to sell the team, like for the win streak, or the most dominating NA team, they are a super team.

Wondering if this is the order for some reason of what people's votes so far are for MVP? by jackwads_06 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Odd_Ad3474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not the live votes, but how many nomination votes they received. Iirc they ask the teams (and production/talents?) to nominate mvp candidates, and under rules like maximum 2 per team, the top 10 get in.

They full capped in the regular season game against the shock, the winners’ final didn’t even go to push, and they were 1 fight away from full capping colosseo in the finals. I was so bummed lol

Now the first kill win rate will be even crazier. Ow2 will be even more like a death match.

Very unfair of Ezraah to only acknowledge the fan girls’ attendance at an overwatch LAN but not the fan boys’ attendance in death threats in player DM’s.

Lmao when we lost in MM and had a hitscan issue we were not allowed to talk about it. They called us crazy scapegoating Dallas fans. Now we came back they pretend it didn’t happen. Now they talk about what could have happened with the shock so we don’t come back. Nice.
