    Not "Top 'o da mornin t'ya" Irish either, actually normal Irish.

    Cool. Looks a character people might want to heal with.

    Genji mains now have a new character to play. They still won't heal with her though.

    New map:


    Don't like the look of it tbh, feels like they've already jumped the shark.

    We have a few dps only players on here I believe,what I want to know, when no one on the team changes to support etc,do you usually lose and does it lessen your enjoyment or what. It seems kinda risky only picking dps. (If you want to win that is)

    I'm putting this to the test. Gonna stick to rein and pharah for a while. No healers in 1st too games lol. Here's me thinking someone else will pick up the slack. Not even a mercy in sight

    I figure I'm going no where as it stands so maybe having a sticking to a couple of mains will help

    Wonder if her enemy ultimate would be as gaeilge? Lot of heroes have their callout in their native language when on the other team (Genji, Sombra, Hanzo, Mei, Widow, Zarya, Mercy)

    Hopefully! I was delighted to hear genuine Irish being spoken by Saoirse are the end of Nioh.

    Anyone watching the world cup, had a look earlier. Watching it is much easier than before. The teams have two distinct skins and colours so you can see what's going on more clearly, they have little top down views also. Was much easier to follow. If I didn't have a million basketball games to watch I'd take more of an interest.

    As soon as I saw she was Irish I was expecting the diddly-eye version of Tracer's awful accent, but it's not bad.

    Yeah looks like Widow is a Ghost from starcraft, or Kerrigan?

    Zarya is a D3 Barbarian

    Tjor a dwarf from warcraft

    Osira a dragoon

    and Doomfist is a splice from Blackhand from wow

    Hard to make out what the rest are, pretty cool though :)

    EDIT: Roadhog is Azmodan?

    The VA is Genevieve O'Reilly and she's confirmed to have Irish voicelines...

    Not a gaeilgeoir at all but it's still very cool to have the language actually in the game.

    Yes, I watched most of the games yesterday. Casting/spectator changes are a huge improvement. Team skins look great, particularly China's, and make the game easier to follow. Competitiveness of games much better than in the earlier rounds. I've been skeptical of the OW league, but if they can serve up anything like the quality and competitiveness of the USA v Sth Korea match yesterday then it has every chance to be a success.

    Agreed, was easy to follow and watch.

    If anyone here hasn't watched that match you should. Was probably the best pro match I've seen.

    Canada v S Korea just started about 5 minutes ago. Canada won the first round on Oasis but SK took round 2 & 3.

    It's mental how good the Koreans are. Seriously like I get the whole fact that gaming is big there but the reaction speed they have is nuts

    It's a professional sport to them. Same way soccer is to us. Same dedication to training etc

    But they did lose games :confused: (4-2 vs USA, 3-1 vs France, 4-1 vs Canada)

    Good games, but I don't like the single-elimination format.

    Watching unit lost playing moira, she looks decent. This is great, chance of 2 healers on the team even slightly improved

    The Hanimura and Junkertown bits were especially fun. As someone mentioned before, the new spectator set up works really well, very easy to tell who's doing what.
