Avrl is actually a divine gift from the gods to the overwatch community, his passion is unmatched, i love him so much

[@oftheBlazingNinjas]

AVRL is one of the goats easily

[@jjojehong]

yea except every time he talks you can literally hear the crickets from his mic feedback

[@NalXame]

He needs to watch his health though.

[@DEVILONBOTHSHOULDERS]

[@Xdxdxdmoneu]

His streams are awesome! I’m poopedthebed7 if you’re ever in there :)

[@philphil37]

Jake has so much insight into the game which is why he has so much to say. One of the smartest minds in OW, we are lucky to have him

[@enjoidavid]

Avrl saw literally all the games this weekend he’s the one that needs to be talking the most not Jake

[@philphil37]

@@enjoidavid yeah I think it sucks that the show didn’t have enough time for them to get out what they had to say. Hopefully they can both get on an episode again

[@senor135]

great mind for the game, but like... he does talk *a lot*, and would be nice if he reined it in a bit. sometimes talks over other people and repeats himself a lot.

[@scottnash70]

"Hydron didn't smack talk?" How about the classic "Birdpoop" in reference to beating Boston Uprising. 🤣

[@thefabyooo]

Hey just chiming in on Sotuh America, i'm a player from Brazil. At least here overwatch definetly has been less popular competitely since Valorant release. Brazil had a big CS scene and Valorant picked a lot of that and i guess a lot of overwatch players too. Riot also has a bigger presence here because of LoL. But we do have servers and a good casual community

[@sofiafuentes6727]

chilean here!! i can vow this is the case here too

[@oakentree2186]

please bring back timestamps to the episodes

[@ninja12mb]

Avrl by far my favorite caster. Wish he was back for owcs.

[@seeryeven]

When I first seen the comments talking about Jake talking I was like ah he's always like that. But wow this episode he would not stop, felt kind of bad for Avril

[@spookyow]

I love Avrl and Jake both, but I gotta admit Jake should take it down a notch or two. He cuts people off very often and after a while that can get frustrating not only to the people he does it to but even as a viewer. Of course with that being said, Avrl himself isn't perfect either. I say this mainly because I struggle heavily with ADHD and can be very impulsive so I often cut people off too even when I don't mean too (It's literally a neurobiological disorder, to an extent I can't help myself sometimes). In my head a thought pops up that I think is important to say and I just impulsively say it sometimes without thinking, but at the same time I take accountability for it. Not only do I apologize to whoever I cut off but I continue to try and better myself and do my best to make a conscious effort to wait my turn to speak. I love Jake and he's a valuable mind and great to have around in OW esports but I fear because of his success he subconsciously automatically thinks his takes/insight is more valuable than others (in this case being Avrl) where he impulsively cuts them off to speak his truth. Although his insight is indeed valuable I wish he would be more mindful of others and just try to be a little more considerate. I put myself in his shoes and I can understand his excitment and passion when talking about OW but it's important to not get ahead of yourself and share that excitment at the expense of others. All that being said I just want to be clear I love Avrl and Jake both and this isn't a shot at Jake at all. Not everyone is perfect and people make mistakes. Not to mention that interrupting someone isn't some grave sin or something, but if done a lot over time especially without taking accountability it can definitely start to strain relationships and that's the last thing I want for them. Anyways, it was a great show guys! Love you guys as always!

[@alexkilgore]

I think it's on Jonny to mediate more actively in a setting like this. Jake and Avrl are gonna go at each other nonstop if you let them, and Jake was quicker and more decisive so Avrl felt like he was being shut down. All it takes is a quick word from Jonny to tell Jake to wait his turn and the problem is solved. Same thing goes the other way.

[@spookyow]

@@alexkilgore I agree that as a host you should properly mediate the discussion but that shouldn't stop Jake from taking personal accountability.

[@alexkilgore]

@@spookyow it’s really not that big a deal. 2 people got a little annoyed at each other in a conversation made for content. Womp womp

[@spookyow]

@@alexkilgore You missed my entire point then. I acknowledged that in my original post. If the situation were to repeat itself multiple times however it would become a bigger issue.

[@lucas411_]

very well written comment thank you i agree completely

[@lucas411_]

Im not even being hyperbolic jake is genuinely the biggest yapper I have ever seen

[@tmac1a]

Naw that's avrl for sure. Bro so "anlytical" he goes on about shit that doesn't even matter. Good on Jake for cutting his yappin ass off

[@Kronman590]

Bailey has said in their interview with commander x that australia was left out bc of travel fees. On that note korea was also only given 2 slots bc they're the furthest from dallas/stockholm.

[@Napp_]

Avrl how do you wake up this early bro

[@BeastmanRage88]

Jake was weird this pod literally arguing to argue. Avrl would make Luke warm takes and Jake treated them like he was speaking nonsense.

[@d3w222]

Why there is no time thing for each subject?

ENCE added Chase from EXO so now they can dive - and now EXO is facing a major setback because Chase was carrying together with Shockwave and it will influence the chances of qualifying to Dreamhack

[@maelskorm894]

I'm convinced Jake was on coke for this podcast.

[@BrofUJu]

Why? He's always like this lol some of us are just excited nerds

[@Phouchg]

He's soo excited this time though. Takes over every conversation.

Avrls backgrounds always have me weak this one is great

[@MunnyManuel]

love japanese OW-big varrel fan i love watching nico and qki during a sombra dive meta theyre a whole different type of coordinated

[@Shrimp4Gura]

God watching Japan play is so much fun. Knowing Namekuji Brothers made it out of the group stage to make it to the live broadcast stage with Lifeweaver Hog is crazy. Also, didnt the Arise vs Namekuji game already happen? Could have sworn i watched it already Yes it did happen already, the Arise dropping the spaghetti

[@s2g234]

As a huge Toronto fan last year, I really hated the smack talk after every win and complete boomed silence after all the losses - the bravado felt undeserved and immature. Players like Hydron and Coluge were so easily boomed and the ones that were quieter and just trying to focus looked like they struggling to mentally block out their teammates when they would talk smack, focusing on the big picture. I wish the team invested in a sports psychologist to help them with their mental game. It was difficult watching their body language deteriorate during matches. Roll the weak teams and smack talk like they are gods and then get stomped and look like so pathetically defeated. Peak Hydron is so amazing to watch, but boomed Hydron hurts. As much as people hype up the "former champs" aspect of the current team - their mental game is what impresses me the most, and it looked like they had that whether they were champs or veterans or not.

[@yugen9351]

I was gonna listen to this while I nap ad free on Spotify (for the first time) but it's not uploaded yet

[@azipop]

quartz really didnt get the recognition as the MVP either in world cup and now here, i appreciate jake for defensing the saudi/twisted team. Me as a fine feel relieved somehow

[@nawafalzahrani448]

Absolutely 💯

[@Drwiggles69]

Let the record show that I am pro yapping.

[@dakota.dakota]

Why is Jake so argumentative? Like chill

[@d3w222]

the goat

[@TSUNGFX]

It’s his opinion so it’s fair, but he does like to interrupt the rest of them unfortunately

[@laughingnotlooking]

LET HIM COOK!!!

[@bigdbag]

ego is good for talk show dynamics, which jake has a lot of. on the flip side, if i was jake i'd interrupt avrl as much as i could also because he's socially braindead.

[@nuj6802]

You wouldn’t get it 🚬

[@enjoidavid]

Did Custa just ditch Ow during owcs also Avrl is the goat

[@Prostniev]

right?!

[@kenerb654]

ditch? bros team didn’t make it far and he’s currently unemployed, I wouldn’t expect him to enjoy watching his competitors (both players and casters/talent) enjoy Owcs without him while he’s on a couch w family to feed.

[@enjoidavid]

@@kenerb654 I mean he’s playing team tactics streaming for like 50-100 people when he could have 500+ viewers when streaming ow. Just seemed strange he wasn’t at one point watching none of the finals

[@nex5691]

ow is somewhat getting popular in the philippines rn since we filipino players keep spreading the word to everyone who is looking for new game than valorant

[@sleepymoose453]

Wtf going on w Jake this episode like bro keeps talking over people (avrl) with random arguments like shut up for 5 min sheesh

[@XuQifei]

Sounds like Avrl can't properly talk this episode 😂 Please rest well for the show man

[@nawafalzahrani448]

I notice that Jake is the only one appreciating Twisted Minds, I don’t know why justifying other teams for their loss like the meta variance, but no one said Twisted Minds played on high ping ! 😂

[@nawafalzahrani448]

57:13 exactly what I said 🤣🤣

Dorito collab could be crazy ram kiri zen shoot Doritos

[@jadiepatterson4292]

jake is the most pretentious OW personality in the scene. dude needs to stop huffing his own farts and chill

[@DeadlyKitten19]

I’m reading into the future wac get picked up by T1 they dominate lan to the finals where they then take second place. The Philly curse lives on.

Avrl with the peak hypocrisy going after Jake for talking over people

I think it's more or less because Jake just seemed to be arguing to argue this podcast. Avrl for once wasn't even giving hit takes but Jake was flaming him

[@actionmarco8556]

LOL, right, when this is what AVRL used to always do! He got a bit better though, tbf

[@mamoskates8473]

ain’t no WAY avrl is complaining about being cut off/talked over 😂😂😂 if that isn’t the pot calling the kettle black…. avrl is THE most notorious for cutting people off and talking over people every single episode. i for one, am really enjoying Jake putting him in his place when he tries to pop off with his garbage takes 😌 lil bro can dish it but not take it hahahahhaha

[@JaziB]

mald

[@laughingnotlooking]

Jake calling Avrl out on his BS, and Avrl then proceeds to cry!! What in the fck is going on 🤣🤣. Jake is the goat, my guy plays at a level Avrl will never reach. It's not that he's trying to be mean or anything. But if you want to push your ideals to a Former Pro Player, and coach. You need to be able to say why your insight on the game, is better than those with actual experience. V1 Take the fight, debate, or just say nothing.

[@yxnito]

38:40 Love the guy but IMO Jake couldn’t be more wrong with this take on the last second patches. 1) The level of play in the NA/EMEA main event was so bad because no team had time to really practice anything. Why would you have an esport scene if the games are going to look just like your average ranked game? 2) His main argument is, that the lack of practice on a patch decreases the chance of mirror matches. But everything that players and coaches were saying would indicate that having no preparation time basically forces teams to instantly mirror a comp they’re losing to because they don’t have the time to come up with a counter or any alternatives.

[@echologic3918]

You shouldn't pee in the shower. Even if just a little bit stays there you can get foot fungus. Not worth the risk, just hold it in or pee beforehand.
