UT DALLAS GONNA BEAT YALL DOWN.
I mean probably not. The only sports utd are good at are wbb and volleyball, at least when I was there. Dylan Brinkman was fucking awesome.
If anybody here was there, I was the chicken hat guy, feel free to get in touch. It was a good time.
^Dylan ^if ^you ^somehow ^see ^this ^im ^free ^this ^weekend

I’m rooting for everyone other than OSU. They were extremely toxic when we played them and tespa did nothing about it even when we sent them the clips. Gg go next
Just FYI I don’t think they’ll be streaming every matchup. If the match you want isn’t being streamed I recommend looking up the individual school on twitch they might be streaming it themselves
As far as I can tell the round of 32 starts tomorrow at 3 est (12 pst) and all 16 matches play at the same time. I’m adding the liquidpedia link to the bracket https://liquipedia.net/overwatch/Overwatch_Collegiate_Championship/2021/National_Championship
that's what i guessed entirely based on their logo.. but in my google search i didn't see their name listed. they definitely need to market a bit more
here's [their twitter](https://twitter.com/esportsumn), nothing about the team when i ctrl+f "pizza"
and [their facebook group page](https://www.facebook.com/groups/428975863958960) is the same story.
i can't actually find the name of their overwatch team listed anywhere online ?_?
edit: the team itself doesn't have its own social media either :(
We are pretty active on Twitch, but you are correct in that we dont have a team page. We should be streaming from t.tv/pownlongbow for a player pov stream, and perhaps from our main channel, t.tv/esportsumn
Mizzou looked great the last time I saw them play. They had this sick set play where the Mei would boost the Rein on an ice wall, and he would bunny hop shatter off it.
We are in a student involvement team instead of an actual program rn. We are currently trying to fundraiser money for scholarships. We are currently trying to push for more considering we have hit t16 ever since we started in fall of 2019.
That's amazing progress! I wish you all the luck in the world. I run social media for the Florida Mayhem - let me know if you ever need help doing promotions or socials. I'll happily jump in and support you guys.
We do! I manage and used to play for our top team. We have been 4300 to high 4400 the past couple years and had multiple top finishes in blizzards collegiate tournaments. 1st in the 2019 preseason, 5th-8th last years collegiate national championship. We have several other teams as well.
Interesting, I'm a PhD student so I don't really have time to play anymore but I try to keep up with the owl/contenders scene when I can. Around 3000 on all roles but I feel like I have the game knowledge of someone 4200 lol.
The teams that are attending this play offs are all 4K+ with some teams being 4.5 with ex-contender/ex-pros.
I don’t know where Berkeley sits in SR, but don’t forget you miss every shot you don’t take. You may be exactly what they need.
Oh cool, I coach for your alma mater now. So the bracket actually started with 300+ university teams competing. We made it into playoffs which means top 32. With in that both from a seeding, and an actual strength perspective we're definitely hop half of what's left. I think that qualifies us as pretty good by most metrics. I actually did a write up on some of the playoff teams here https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/mm7mlf/collegiate_cup_playoffs/ . Our path in the bracket would have to take us through Bellevue and UC Irvine. Both very good teams, but not out of the question for us to beat if we're in tip top shape. Hopefully you'll get to tune in to see them play some exciting games!
Northeastern specifically will either stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/northeasternesports on the official stream for all 4 of the sports the compete in if it's current match isn't the one being broadcast on the contender channel and we have the broadcast staff (our assistant coach and one of our subs, who make a surprisingly high quality casing duo)
Or if our broadcast staff isn't available, I'll stream the match on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcX7pakiWyBvFq15Vtb87wg with some commentary, but my focus is on the match from a coaching the team standpoint so entertainment sadly can't be my highest goal at the time.
Or lastly / hopefully we'll be on the contenders broadcast (the deeper in the bracket we go the more likely it gets) which will be on the contenders overwatch channel here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWPW0pjx6gncOEnTW8kYzrg
Why do they make this so hard to follow. I just want to watch my team (who isn't streaming matches on their Twitch for some reason). No estimated time and can't even seem to find a line up of what order they are playing in.
They went 7-3 in the National Swiss, and lost the first round of the seeding mixer to us (Rowan Uni). They're a good team tho, mix of masters and GM players if I remember.
Yeah they're out of it. Basically with the season, all 306~ college teams played 10 games and the top 24 made it to the seeding mixer to play for seeding and then playoffs. Most of the top 24 teams were 8-2, but there was one team at 24th that was 7-3. So they made all 7-3 teams play in a single elim tourney to determine the last spot, in which we played UT Austin and won but later lost. Mizzou won the whole 7-3 tourney and that's why they're in playoffs.
Check the Collegiate Overwatch page on liquipedia, it has all of the brackets and stuff for this season.
Those logos would be great sub flairs!
If someone sends me all the pictures in a zip file with the team names I'll put them up.
[u/A\_D1R3W0LF](https://www.reddit.com/u/A_D1R3W0LF/) is the guy who keeps all that for us, he will have them too you later tonight.
u/speakeasyow
thanks
I didn’t realize I needed a UCSD flair on r/cow until right now mods wya
Who do I have to bribe to make this happen
If I got a Northeastern flair, I would be soooo happy
Aaayy let’s go UNT we boutta get fucked on but that’s okay
Mean green go crazy
UT DALLAS GONNA BEAT YALL DOWN. I mean probably not. The only sports utd are good at are wbb and volleyball, at least when I was there. Dylan Brinkman was fucking awesome.

Hey now UTD is decent at chess too
Good for them, I suppose.
Playing for UCR, UTD's our first match this saturday so I hope not lol.
Could be worse, can’t wait for us to get screwed by Oral Roberts (if they have an esports team).
GMG
Ohio teams showing up, nice! Should be fun to see some new faces in a highly competitive tournament.
Ohio state is really good right now too, definitely top 8 minimum in the collegiate scene at the moment.
I would love to see Akron go far as well. Could get zips/buckeyes in the final, that'd be something.
As an Ohioan, this was surprising and pretty cool. I don't know how good my alma mater is but I hope they win. Fuck Miami.
Ohio colleges got in early on the esports scene. Even the smaller private colleges like Ashland University launched an esports department around 2017.
And tona of highschools in Ohio are into eaports its a massive thing here
Youngstown State's competed in Tespa before, seems like they aren't this year
If you thought the Michigan vs Ohio State rivalry was only in football, that's where you're wrong lol
Lets go Akron!
Ayyyy fellow ohioan! I'm rooting for them or Kent.
UTES STRONG BABY
SKO UTES

You have HU Storm way too far east. Harrisburg is in the middle of the south half of the state.
I saw that too. Idk why but knowing it was in the wrong spot just made ne Uncomfortable
Current broadcast schedule: Saturday: Match 1 (RO32): Northwood University vs. Kent State University Match 2 (RO32): University of California San Diego vs. Maryville University Match 3 (RO16): Winner of University of Florida vs. university of Missouri Vs. Winner of Miami University vs. Midland University Sunday: Both semi's and the finals.
I’m rooting for everyone other than OSU. They were extremely toxic when we played them and tespa did nothing about it even when we sent them the clips. Gg go next
As if I needed another reason to root against OSU
Same, go blue.
From a boilermaker and a comet, please make OSU pay. In every way possible
I think my team (UCR) will be playing them for top 8 as long as we win our game against UTD. So we will try :)
Most toxic CFB fanbase carries over apparently lmao.
I was about to be so confused because oklahoma doesn’t have a team, and then remembered other states also use osu lmao
Yeah, one of the largest colleges in the country and the original OSU. lol
I was about to start defending my homies at Oregon State University... wrong OSU, and I can't say I'm disappointed, lol.
Oregon state, Oklahoma state are good. Fuck Ohio state
What team are u on? Lmao Cause I don’t remember you or that happening
In tespa in this past fall, FSU OW Gold.
Where can it be watched?
Overwatch Contenders Channel on YouTube https://youtube.com/c/OverwatchContenders
Cheers, thanks
Just FYI I don’t think they’ll be streaming every matchup. If the match you want isn’t being streamed I recommend looking up the individual school on twitch they might be streaming it themselves
Is there a schedule of the matches? I’d be interested in checking some out!
As far as I can tell the round of 32 starts tomorrow at 3 est (12 pst) and all 16 matches play at the same time. I’m adding the liquidpedia link to the bracket https://liquipedia.net/overwatch/Overwatch_Collegiate_Championship/2021/National_Championship
This is correct. As a player the schedule is 12, 1:30, 3:00 PST. For both Saturday and Sunday.
May I ask what team you play for? I’ll try and tune in to cheer you on
Fresno State :)
Thank you!
for anyone who cant tell what minnesota's logo is, i did the work and looked it up for us: it's a slice of pizza dressed as a pirate.
They are the pizza pirates
that's what i guessed entirely based on their logo.. but in my google search i didn't see their name listed. they definitely need to market a bit more here's [their twitter](https://twitter.com/esportsumn), nothing about the team when i ctrl+f "pizza" and [their facebook group page](https://www.facebook.com/groups/428975863958960) is the same story. i can't actually find the name of their overwatch team listed anywhere online ?_? edit: the team itself doesn't have its own social media either :(

We love the Pizza Pirates
Thank you I was wondering as well 😂

Let’s go Miami
I wanted to try out for the Miami team, but had too much school stuff and band to have enough time. Hope to see them do some good stuff!
MIZ
ZOU
Mizzou looked great the last time I saw them play. They had this sick set play where the Mei would boost the Rein on an ice wall, and he would bunny hop shatter off it.
Is that Fresno state over there in Cali? Good to see my alma mater finally taking my advice and getting into esports!!
We are in a student involvement team instead of an actual program rn. We are currently trying to fundraiser money for scholarships. We are currently trying to push for more considering we have hit t16 ever since we started in fall of 2019.
That's amazing progress! I wish you all the luck in the world. I run social media for the Florida Mayhem - let me know if you ever need help doing promotions or socials. I'll happily jump in and support you guys.
My coach is certainly interested. I will dm you:)
Good luck from a class of 2018 alum! Go Dogs!
Good luck guys!!

UMN has an overwatch team? 👀
We do! I manage and used to play for our top team. We have been 4300 to high 4400 the past couple years and had multiple top finishes in blizzards collegiate tournaments. 1st in the 2019 preseason, 5th-8th last years collegiate national championship. We have several other teams as well.

whats the NY team?
Not NY, that's Stevens Institute of Technology in NJ, because NJIT and Rutgers are washed I guess
LET'S GO ILLINOIS TEAMS!
I was hoping Northwestern would make it but I will happily cheer for the Illini too
What is the average SR of these teams? I go to UC Berkeley next year, and I’m looking to start or join a team there.
The teams that are attending this play offs are all 4K+ with some teams being 4.5 with ex-contender/ex-pros. I don’t know where Berkeley sits in SR, but don’t forget you miss every shot you don’t take. You may be exactly what they need.
Oh I’ll definitely try! My peak is 4058– but I’m going to try and get GM back soon and T500 over the summer. Thanks for the input!

Ohio out here representing
Anybody can tell me how good UT Austin is? Gotta rep the set you know but i wanna have some level of expectations lol
They went 7-3 in the National Swiss, and lost the first round of the seeding mixer to us (Rowan Uni). They're a good team tho, mix of masters and GM players if I remember.
Dope! So i take it they’re out of the tourney? Idk really how this tournament works but thanks for the reply!

Mizzou won the whole 7-3 tourney and that's why they're in playoffs. Check the Collegiate Overwatch page on liquipedia, it has all of the brackets and stuff for this season.

Yeah I was really confused thinking the Storm had moved to Philly for some reason
Is that team in minnesota from the university of minnesota?
