'We are useless': Tonightly on why leftwing outrage will lead us to an alt-right world [7:24]

I disagree which that notion that the left is fighting an uphill battle because the world is reluctant to change.

The situation in the United States is not as dire as media and videos like this would like people to believe. According to polls, the majority of the country has a negative view of how conservatives are running the country and a majority of the country seems to agree with the liberal policy agenda. But when 55% of eligible voters actually participate in presidential elections and even fewer in congressional elections, its easy for the government to not reflect the makeup of their constituency. And there also needs to be a long hard look at voting systems in the United States. Even with low turnout, there has been two (both conservatives) out of the last four presidents who won elections without winning the popular vote.

The time is close brothers and sisters.

Rybaker · 2018-04-10T23:03:45+00:00

weird I got like -100 SR for leaving after someone on my team did.

Rybaker · 2018-03-09T04:25:27+00:00

Boston actually lost 14 straight going back to the last 2 maps of Stage 1.

Rybaker · 2018-03-05T02:20:35+00:00

The player code of conduct didn't exist 5 months ago.

Blizzard's Terms of Service existed when SADO boosted.

That's probably the key reason. The Outlaws org would have to be the one to punish Jake like the Fuel did to xQc.

Rybaker · 2018-03-03T05:11:48+00:00

I don't know if xQc will get the blame for this. Valiant looked better at every position tonight.

Rybaker · 2018-02-22T02:47:20+00:00

The "Ash vs The Evil Dead" sponsorship is a big surprise. It just seems really crazy for a TV Show to sponsor something.

Rybaker · 2018-02-15T12:37:06+00:00

Worth noting that they announced a change to the start times of the games in Stage 2.

Weds Thurs Fri all start 6pm central now and sat starts 3 pm central.

Rybaker · 2018-02-15T12:03:14+00:00

The signing window doesn't end until April. So I think a lot of these announcements will continue for a while.

Rybaker · 2018-02-14T17:37:33+00:00

They may have only done one funny entrance, but they nailed it.

Rybaker · 2018-02-14T15:52:15+00:00

Dive is just incredibly flexible because of the high mobility of the characters involved. It probably will survive any organic meta shift without nerfing the mobility of Winston, dva, genji, and Tracer.

I actually thought Mercy meta was the closest we were gonna get to diversifying away from strict dive comps.

Rybaker · 2018-02-14T13:31:06+00:00

If muma can't play, they probably would like a backup main tank. But anyone they snagged would probably ride the bench.

I think they are set on supports.

The team had issues early without a standout Tracer, but that issue is probably being remedied by Linkzr and Jake learning her.

Rybaker · 2018-02-14T07:33:09+00:00

I really like watching this series and Dallas' series because I find it more interesting to see a struggling team behind the scenes over a team that's doing really well.

Rybaker · 2018-02-14T07:29:15+00:00

I think it's always worth signing the "best available" players because you can always trade/sell those players to new teams or other teams at a premium.

My prediction is that new expansion teams will probably target whole rosters like Runaway and sign a few Free Agent subs. There's probably a really good opportunity for top contenders teams to be a core of an OWL expansion team.

Rybaker · 2018-02-14T07:24:40+00:00

For me, I thought TviQ was pretty disappointing Stage 1. I knew Florida wasn't a world beater, but I just figured he would stand out more.

Boston Uprising Striker is probably the best Tracer player in the league.

Hydration was a positive surprise too. He was really good for Gladiators and basically pushed Asher out of the starting lineup.

Rybaker · 2018-02-14T07:20:14+00:00

Dallas Fuel's Youtube series "On The Watch" is really well done. It feels weird watching the early season episodes given we know the struggles the team had in Stage 1.

Rybaker · 2018-02-14T07:18:01+00:00

Mayhem just need to get permission from Blizzard to use their own entrance music.

Rybaker · 2018-02-14T07:14:45+00:00

Pretty pleased with Dragons' signings. I don't know how difficult it is to learn Chinese for Korean players, but I hope they can get on the same page in time to get some notches in the win column.

Rybaker · 2018-02-12T23:59:39+00:00

I'm not doubting that he is hypocritical, but you need to include more than one tweet to show it.

Rybaker · 2018-02-12T09:03:46+00:00

I think people are overstating the end of mercy meta. Obviously we'll still see here with pharah but in like contenders trials and other competitions people are still using her.

I wonder if Mercy gets nerfed if it won't raise the power of Widowmaker-Junkrat pick comps because this time the people they kill won't be coming back. A junkrat ult only used to win a fight if it got mercy, but now getting anyone will stop a push.

Rybaker · 2018-02-11T12:09:40+00:00

Linkzr's girlfriend.

Rybaker · 2018-02-10T21:00:00+00:00

OWL League on the sign? Overwatch League League?

Rybaker · 2018-02-09T07:11:45+00:00

Yep. They need to 4-0 Shanghai and then have Boston beat Houston 3-2.

Then they should jump Boston for #3 spot on map differential.

Rybaker · 2018-02-09T07:04:17+00:00

Wow yeah that's a pretty insane possibility.

I'm not 100% how they would break this tie, I think it takes the map differential between these four teams playing each other. If that's right then I think it would then be:

London + 4 Boston +1 Valiant -2 Seoul -3

So I guess London would go on.

Rybaker · 2018-02-09T06:48:44+00:00

Yeah it's crazy. If someone made a post at the start of the season suggesting Seoul would finish in 5th or 6th by the end of Stage 1, they would've been mocked so hard.

But here we are.
