Support POV: Lulu's Throwdown 50K Tournament Finalists

[@senidhoozer1]

1:21:17 "I gotta make a play" THIS moment right here.. gave me chills! Absolutely perfect! No "healer" can do this, way to give the title Support a true meaning. You are the real Greatest Of All Time. From being a leader, a supportive teammate, excellent composure and not raging, intuitive gameplay and just an all around fun person to watch for entertainment/knowledge of the game. You have taught me so much about this game, as well as showing how a respectful player should be. No arguing, pointing fingers or any negativity. Win or lose, you don't let it phase you. Keep it up, and continue to be the inspiring person you are to myself and many others I'm sure.

People always say ML7 is one of the best support players in ow2 and i just take it as a fact. But seeing him have such a commanding presence, micro-ing his team while making plays and his understanding of the game just blew me away, Rank 1 support for a reason

1:30 It's crazy how slow and methodical the beginning of this fight was, you never see this on the ladder

[@GaIIeon]

these streamer tournaments are way better than OWL. I love watching these, its so interesting how you adapt mid-game and also that you can watch different POVs

[@GriFFonRec4]

Know why? Because people actually play what they are GOOD at and not some oppressive meta. Notice how the comps changed per map per team. That's peak OW entertainment. 1:35:50 The fact that you can call out a specific player that you need to play around is cool af. Fitzy is a god-like Sombra who will capitalize on over aggression, and even in Rush he plays Mei well who does a similar thing. Having teams specialize in certain things is what makes OW cool.

[@GaIIeon]

@@GriFFonRec4 Yes I know, but what I ment was mainly the fact that we (as the audience) can hear their strategy talks as well as their comms. But yeah what you said is also a big part of it. Tournaments like these make me really excited for the World Cup and I hope it will be just as entertaining to watch.

[@Doople]

Yeah hearing comms and knowing the personalities makes it way better. Plus all the jokes and streamers expressing highs/lows help me get invested in the win Feel like color commentary in OWL is kinda white bread. Also low key lots of OWL people don't have much of a personality outside of being good at the game.

[@mauuuuu5194]

Somnus predicting the comp on that first game was so funny

[@KuroiHoshiV]

She plays with Flats/Emongg a lot all the way back from OW1, so she knows those two really well. And compared to Bowie (who follows perfectly the calls of their teammates), he is the shotcaller of the team and would most likely ask for comp changes (and she probably has been on the shoes of Flats supports so she knows how his mind works).

[@j3.wanderlust]

I feel like a lot of players could take so much in terms of attitude while playing this game by watching how these folks play and communicate (both in QP/Comp/Arcade/Whatever). You'll hear callouts and you'll hear people heatedly call things out like, "get out of their or play back," and even let out sighs of frustration which is normal, even for those of us that player at lower ELO's (bronze to diamond/low masters). The biggest thing to take away, which may help if you practice, is the toxicity. They never blame eachother or flame eachother when mistakes are made. They shrug it off and continue the fight because to them, it's not about a player making a bad choice but moreso about, "how do we make up for this right now," which gives more time into winning the game instead of standing still and typing toxic comments or saying anything discouraging. I do love the lightheartedness of your videos that mainly come from the channel; but, I really do think seeing how people play seriously really speaks to fanbases and upcoming players that it isn't particular about, "them," as a player but how you play with your damn team. This is just my opinion of what I take away watching videos like this and just wanted to say thanks for the great content as always!

[@thejeffreymann5240]

Somnus game sense and team play is actually insane. I get it comes with the territory of high rank players but dang.

[@MoonlightWalnut]

Yeah think I gotta start following her, I need to learn these strats!

[@KuroiHoshiV]

She's a Main Support from OW1. She needs to keep track of a lot of things compared to, let's say, ML that is mostly a Flex Support (I know he can play Main, but we gotta admit, he is best as Flex)

[@lukeprovan6490]

This just reaffirms what all Ow players know. That Jake is the most dunkable player in the community. What a bad look lmaoo

[@TheBegumOlgun]

JAKE was a huge crybaby that made my blood boil. No logic, no point just causing a scene. Admins should’ve been more dominant tbh it takes basic math to determine the advantages and disadvantages for both teams and decide what is fair. But GG overall ml7 it was fun to watch

[@kiya-mb7rt]

2:14:40 "This is a Jake moment man" lololol I love the way you were playing this tournament, still finishing up the video tho.

[@DeadAimBowLP]

It's crazy to me that Jake made a big deal about ping when most of your team was playing at high ping as is. Even playing on the server that supposedly put them at a "disadvantage" they still had an advantage. So ridiculous. (Edit) I just finished watching the map in question and wow. Imagine losing after forcing your opponents to have over 4 times more ping than you. Wow IMAGINE. MOST satisfying thing I've ever seen.

For sure lost my total respect when he didn't at least restart the match when Somnus was afk. It would have been a graceful move after making so much noise about the ping.

Does Jake even realize that the ping number stands for how many MILLISECONDS it takes for a packet to travel from your PC, to the server and back? Even if you're a pro player, 20 milliseconds is negligible difference. You won't notice it or you will adapt to it very quickly. 70ms vs 90ms doesn't make a difference.
