Proper more comfortable on flex dps tho
Prob both to t1 and falcons just have hanbin as a solo tank?
Or they sign a Winston
and stalk3r can bring out the soj
He deadlifted his team in s5 tho to owl grand he can play if needed
Also
We don’t know if those teams are staying together
T1 has hella money
And can out buy players
ig so seeing as sp9rk1e played wit him in the SOOP cup
I hate sparkle
though there are definitely better flex dps
I do NOT want to see that man on any roster
lol why dont u like him?
He’s just a seller
Sold in the owwc
And is jusr washed
Nothing against him I just think it’s time to retire
lol he did have his glory days in paris eternal and the fuel after all
lol finland packed em in the 3rd place match
hero bans is a good edition
Na will be good
couldnt have said that better myself
Falcons can take em but I dont think theyll try as much seeing has fielder and chiyo have two rings now
is zeta better than falcons now
Prob
i didnt watch any of soop so idk
They may as well be. If I were fielder or chiyo I wouldnt give too much of a shit abt winnin more rings
Tbh zeta picks up junkbunk they be better
What yall think of flora tho?
fair
Inconsistent
only thing happy had goin for him was his widow
any other hitscan and it was just his flex dps counterpart showin up rlly
Flora can be top
Tier the issue is his lack of flexibility and his inconsistency
i think his hero pool is fine for a hitscan dps it might just be the inconsistency but then again thats just me
Happy has a lower peak but his flexibility to tracer is good
That the issue
of definitely LOL
happy played it better than pelican when they both were on houston
tbh its funny when a flex dps cant tracer better than their hitscan counterpart
when most tracer metas historically have the flex dps on her
I just think his skill celling is pretty lower compare to stalkers
he was essentially s9mm if he was korean
stalker aint as flashy as proper tho
He but stalker does his part
And was reason why falcons beat cr during the kr stage
I just think proper gets a lot is resources
Of*
wym?
I feel like falcons did the proper go kill thing sometimes
lol they did that on san fran 2022 but worse
I hope the pelican to na with tree is true tho
Most likely alr taken or aren't playing tho most likely
I wouldn’t mind seeing him play in na
Fr
bruv clearly loves it for the lower level of competition
Knife is rumor for team liquid
He just thinks America is cool 🔥🔥
wow 2 dps that can play both hitscan and flex
also tbh competing in Korea rn is kinda lame
didnt see that on the liquipedia page
It’s a rumor
Real
he doesn't start over alphayi on zeta and it's not like he's gonna get picked up by falcons or racoons so going to na for a better chance at competing for the #1 spot on the region is understandable
T1 maybe but I can see proper going there
SrPeakCheck has registered for #OWCS 2025 Open Qualifiers.
The roster currently consists of:
⚔️ Dannedd
⚔️ Phi
🛡️ LhCloudy
💉 ghost91
💉 ilppi13
💉 Mickji
Roster details are subject to change. This information reflects the roster as of the time of this post.
ah so because he rides the bench and not because he wants a walk in the park
Mer1t Proper back at it again since the contenders days on o2 blast?
The next biggest orgs are like ntmr and c9 whose plan is to pick up whatever is left after liquid and ssg
or idk what c9's plan is but they arent aggressive
i dont think those mfs even expected to get picked for partner program
Coluge hydron xomba lep and renko 🔥🔥
Rumors
T1 falcons crazy raccoon parther program
this roster would actually be peak for the xomba storyline tho
bro caries his chungus team to top 3
coluge dont got it no more
He ain't have it in 3 years
And idk why hydron posing LFTs
bro ain't getting picked up 💀
ye bro should remain stickin pennies in the jar on twitch
He will
true na just lacks hitscans
just not by a partner org
ye by a team consistin of people nobody knows
He's gonna be on American Tornado v5
At least we got tr33
not countin pge tho
Knife was rumor to go to na with a other kr
he too goofy
All we have are tracer players and flex supports
We (emea) will give you a couple for some flex supports
Korean
he already successfull in the content creator department
Apparently c9 is having issues
PGE needs to lock in so I can glaze him even more
And third org for na Is missing
we dont claim rokit
is he even competing
At least there marketable
tbf rokit got dealt a shitty hand
Ryan tree
Nobody is winning with those rosters
hes on wisp but k1ng is better
bro had icy on the Winston g fucking g
not that it matters however cuz that team is cheeks
i fully believe they just didnt expect to get picked lol
Org issues iirc
Like tsm in every department is just going thru it
Praying it be nrg
To get picked
tsm left because of uncertainties about owcs next year
They prolly wouldve stayed if they knew what got announced in stockholm
But apparently they won’t cuz players don’t get paid a lot from orgs that been
In owl
That why they want new orgs
Apparently
To pay players good
ye but they released everyone and said they prolly aint runnin it back next year
apparently from who
sounds like an excuse to me
its way more likely they just wanted to get as many orgs as possible, meaning attracting new orgs with partnerships and praying the rest stay
toronto was like the only org paying owl salaries
It was a coach
in the na scene
I forgot who tho
welp they did that the first time for EWC
Over purple
Toronto Ultra
but tbh any players for some reason still lookin to get wit that org is askin to get cursed
Ya prob
They might come back as ultra but it's rumored they lost every player
So what's the point
Going from the strongest roster in the region to maybe being a top 4 team
If tht
ngl I was wonderin wtf some of them emea players were doin in korea
Boot camp
They did
someone and mer1t are with t1
Ya
and the rest are spread between liquid and ssg
These rosters aren’t 100% confirmed tho
Yep especially with t1 probably offering a competitive salary to what they were earning in NA
They could still change
N there housing stuff is very good
Training facility
And there fan base is huge
Since there training thing is huge
Owcs starts when?
Junbin ball skin
I wonder how much money t1 would make from the skins
He wouldnt
Even though someone is really flexible, on some of the offtank heroes he's still worse than hanbin
Zarya and DVa especially I think he's said in interview are some of his weakest heroes, though that might have changed since
it’ll take a good ass color scheme to make me swap out the donghak ball atl
i will be buying lip widow
i still have mine as SHD for Fate ball but i do have an atl Ball
6. Twisted Minds
Head Coach : ChrisTFer
Coach : X
DPS : Quartz, Youbi, Checkmate
TANK : D0NGHAK
SUP : SirMajed, FunnyAstro
4. Team Liquid
Head Coach : X
Coach : X
DPS : Pelican, TR33, KNIFE
TANK : Infekted
SUP : Vega, Rupal
IS THIS TRUE
Quartz checkmate is all you need
SIRMAJED
Wait
@hybrid hollow @torn portal wake tf up
Rumors
I heard about the team liquid one before
Imagine if Christfer just gets rid of yoobi
On his first day
They need three Saudi for Saudi league
Get rid of youubi find a random Saudi player
Unfortunately youbi just might be the next best option for a Saudi “flex”
Ok but if that team is true
They’re gonna dominate eu
Donghak hazard 👀👀👀
Dongshit might not even be that bad in eu
5. The Ultimates
Head Coach : X
Coach : X
DPS : Kai, kevster
TANK : KSAA, Chase
SUP : Faith, Twilight, Skairipa
I’m very curious avout this roster
단지 루머로만 봐주세요^^
1. Gen.G
Head Coach : Crusty
Coach : X
DPS : Sauna, TOPDRAGON
TANK : Mag
SUP : crispy, Khenail
This team looks great
Oooh…idk about that roster oof
Who’s the main support for that team? Faith?
Also falcons is full Korean roster now. Like I said, they don’t mind dropping their Saudi player.
Checkmate won owl playing Mei so youbi can finally focus on only one tricking sym. Idk about Astro and donghak. I would not have given up on bliss for Astro imo
Bliss was the goat
But all these rosters are so weirdly mixed.
Bliss is import, Astro is not
agreed but I think the differences between lbbd7 and checkmate & d0nghak and tvnt are simply bigger than the difference between astro and bliss
so while yes bliss to astro is a bit of a downgrade, the imports they got instead of him are better than the people previously on their roles
majed to mcd is hard to say since we havent seen majed play in the last half year
lip da goat soj
Hey man tvnt got his shot, he just needs to lock it in this year to look like a real tank contender
I'm not a big believer in the TVNT but that's because he's looked noticeably better when he's propped up for success
That new tm team is fire
I need a look at all the rosters tho I need to see what the super teams from kr are
From what the rumors are it’s SKT and everyone else
Shocker
Yes but one is a million times better
Donghak always been known to be a miss unless it’s doom or ball. He’s good at dive only basically. Him and TVNT don’t even play the same ranks
But yes I guess checkmate is definitely a dps you’d want on your team
damn i always wanted checkmate in tm
finally comes true
why funnyastro tho
Cuz he’s the “best” main support in EU. Like dude he’s a Lucio one trick
I would assume if sir does go to tm he would keep youbi in check tm would keep sirmajed over youbi
Also apparently Asia lans aret happening
Zeta staying as a core prob minus pelican and heesung if the rumors are true
idk if all these eu teams are real tho
cuz hadi said his team will be very competetive with korea
and ive not seen him on one
lol what team in any region can be competitive with kr
How would you know sirmajed would keep him in check?
Bro says this but he lost to literally every kr team he played this year
Even a nerfed fnatic lol
thats what makes it competitive
Lol
prime ssg was top tier tho last year
a hadi with koreans would go hard
surely hadi will be in tm as the second tank
A what?
Hint hint
the best china has ever produced and some kid named Lilko
geriatrics
bruh someone on twitter called it the “unction”
I see guxue I smile
Guxue is life
Life is Guxue
lige back too
lol
maybe not yet
Who cares about that elderly man
like guxue isn’t unc status too
It's different
They know 6v6 is coming
we are so back
I wonder much much the pro scene gets informed, because a format shift would be pretty big for organisations
Most would have to sign another
again???
it’s bleak
maybe take a page out of Riot if they can afford to
🤔🤔🤔
What are these teams waiting for? CONFIRM YOUR SHIT ALREADY 😭
isn't the general consensus on 6v6 is that it's garbage if you solo
which anyone that has ever played ow1 above diamond saw coming
only for them being the top 2 in the major again
Hasn’t been my experience but I can see it
man o man
copium
The games I get frustrated on solo queue is me coping hard because I’m playing bad
From my games, they all feel winnable
Heartbreaking
yzn is unemployment final boss
Bro im ngl
It’s not uncommon knowledge that he’s a big wintrader
Not to say he’s not good, he is a good solo q player but nothing more
What even is win trading
Having the guys on the other team throw
It's only really possible at higher elos bc the pool is small enough
How do you win trade in rivals with all the other top players being pros you don’t know. And the only friend in top 20 is your duo legendary
Minmaxzxing would be the only thing
And idk if you can minmaxx in rivals
yzn moving to rivals cus he aint on da lvl with owcs players
this pge?

Get this gay sht off my screen bruh
thats me and pge
He got banned bro
W
Watching sbb stream wow his English improved a lot
Ark is a nurse now sbb wants to be one
wait is sbb out of the army now
Ya I think
isnt he streaming?
mhm
kevster?
Imma send him some once again merch
ho ho ho
Twin tryna awake the red hulk gg
Crazy racoon vs falcons soon?!
Crazy racoons vs the downfall of falcons 💔
Coaching staff got fired, Smurf retired, stalker got personal issues going on 💔💔
It's fried
😔
thank you heesang
shy is also being the goat as is typical
he’s my hitscan goat
the goat of Chinese Hs
BLG please come back to OW
would be so fitting
and cosplay
tru that as well
I miss OWCS, hope isn't doomed
Lost 3 orgs or 4 in one season
Kr is mostly online I think now
again lol
gained like 5 though
lol
liquid c9 t1 atleast are all coming ij
n
wdym
We lost TSM, Fnatic, and NRG.
But gained
Geng, T1, cloud9, and liquid presumably.
Losing fnatic wasn’t bc of owcs tho
They weren’t getting the results they wanted
Eternal 5th place team
Atleast I think idk
Nrg not being picked up for partner program sad tho
yea but c9 doesn't even have a team yet do they
or are they picking up the ksaa kev Kai twilight team
Huge if true
Although the source is fucking Stax so it may be joever 😭
Cjay and bliss might be my favorite support line for next season
what is tu?
Team ultimates
They arent in the same team
Saudi org
damn i was hoping for ence to stick around
That says ssg idk
Yep theyre gone
Cjay is on a different team in faceit its old info
I like the roster though but I wish it was vestola instead of ksaa
gen.g dps line up is kinda crazy but they're both fdps
Their backline is pretty cheeks
Compared to ultimates and vp
Or depends on which korean vp can get on fs
Crispy is mid on every hero and khenail is a bap otp
why are there so many eu bap otps
lol
I think hes ok at kiri too
imagine if they signed funnyastro instead of crispy tho
where are all the london players actually
Faceit and OWCS have different rosters
GenG is looking good for the mixed
with no partner program for all but 3 teams there isnt any reason for them to
and blizzard shelled out to gift a saudi org a partnership (the ultimates) with skins most likely nobody is gonna buy for anything but the colours
all subject to change ofc
if they dont get the partner program there isnt any reason for them
which they didnt
no money and reduced prize pools
roster stolen by an org that gets money from the in-game sales
no reason to stay
😦 rip ence shock and defiant
I swear to god blizzard why did shock and defiant get rejected despite having skins IN GAME ALREADY 😭
literally zero extra work
Its listed for the owcs open qualifiers
Is ultimates partnership even confirmed
Ive only heard of geng and tm
And the last spot was likely going to vp
nothing is confirmed
but they've been rumoured a LOT
Every spot beside the 3rd emea one is confirmed
well no
Unless c9 drops out
But its confirmed that it was offered to c9
Which is what i meant
With the 3rd emea slot there isnt even that
There isnt a rumor about ultimates getting the 3rd slot thats just a pure guess
though with less than 1 month to go I do hope they break the silence soon on a few of the teams
The rest were leaked
no more of a guess than the others or VP?
ultimates was leaked by the same person leaking the other slots
its literally just 3 people that may or may not have insider info
Yes it is? Geng and tm were leaks. There isnt one for the 3rd spot
So it was leaked ok
I missed that then
ultimates was leaked at the same time, i can try find something on liquipedia if you'd like
no hostility either im just tryna work it out myself (I should prolly just wait for them to announce it all and not stress ab it )
Ive seen every other leak beside that one in twitter and around discord
Maybe i just missed that by some chance
just random stuff like that
as I said
could just be trash rumours
Yeah ik they are joining but im talking about partnership
Cuz from what ive seen, they were more straight forward with other partner orgs
Meaning leakers
Ive seen alot more buzz about vp getting the 3rd spot than ultimates, while tm and geng have been clear
As in tweets that talk about them getting the partnership and not just that they are wielding a roster
Lost that team that pelican played for in na
Midfiant til the end
No one gives a fuck about m80
They’re a troll org
they were gone after EWC so they already were gone before the season was even over
Name three players you want to kiss
Chipsa Vulcan and pge
tough question
Trash organisation, good players
Crusty to Gen.G
Oh it was reposted, nvm
@OWCEsports @M80gg whoever you are, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS UP 😭 i’ve been working with a few players on getting them their prize money from M80 so the more eyes on this the better
There issues with players getting there prize money
My christmas wish is to get paid for Dreamhack Dallas and EWC 🙏🙏🙏
@santa make it happen
Crimzo also had this issue
@izzys_ow All players have been paid out other than the prize money that just was sent out well over 6 months late by blizzard(lol). I’m all for shitting on bad parties but their intentions have always been good from my POV regardless of the lies and baits that blizzard esports gave
Did they release heesung?
Contract expired
The ultimates team is cool is that real?
The org is real but rosters are still not confirmed
Twilight as a starter on a team is cool
I want to see kev on a great team again and I think that one looked really cool
I wonder if he could return to peak performance
I haven’t seen twilight play so so must be hella rusty
Or just washed
I’m cautiously optimistic
its twilight but well see
I want tracer to be played all the time again
Those days are over
maybe
Well i’ve seen a lot of old players do well this year and also many that did…..less well
Leejaegon izayaki were questionable
massa was
interesting
but smurf, viol2t, once again during ewc, and some others
looked great
Leegaegon always struggled even on dragons

He was the worst of the feeders i mentioned
Leejaegon is top 4 lucio’s of all time but just has a feed timer that if he doesn’t fulfill
like he will explode
he cannot go a match without trolling once but is also insanely talented it’s wild
big brain feed so being underestimate then do a some s tier support later
Still can’t believe he had a personal coach to stop his feeding
lol
But it’s not like he’s been playing.
Shus been around as long as Smurf and more than leejaegon so there’s a chance twilight can be good
Yeah, hopefully one year break isn’t too long for him
the only bad thing he doing is 3 stacking with insanely good players
this game is so easy to climb in tho tbh
Why u defending a known wintrader?
cuz bro has streamed the game like 10 hours every day man bro cant beat the win trade allegations😂
someone gotta give him credit for grinding
isn't Ahmed one of his viewers accounts that one of them borrowed so they can have a gm3 acc lol
😭😭😭
idk but ahmeds hard carrying on hela every game i see yznsa play
idk tho yet to play MR
Give it a couple more years
That’s what people were saying about him on Boston last year, his Ana brought them to top 4, beating London Spitfire
I'm holding one
idk every high rank player I've talked to that plays MR says they are dogshit but just play with the valorant players in pisslow due to having someone on viewers accounts in the stack 😭
Sorry but how does this screenshot prove he’s playing with people way lower than him? Is the guy posting showing his rank?
That was all Smurf baby.
Da goat
the people he's in queue with are low gm, the 3rd and 4th image shows their rank
which is the equivalent of like ow low master
since gm is just above diamond in MR
And how are people finding out if they’re queuing together
it was on stream lol
one of them is a viewers account which is technically also account sharing and boosting
Interesting
but one above all players can only play with other eternity and one above all players. not with gm players
thats the confusing part
if hes gm3 he cant duo with yznsa
@weak frost the mace person who tweetet this is also accused of "minmaxxing" https://x.com/aMonster121/status/1873794992424313265
im convinced
who the fuck is zeta’s ana player
omg are you the real shu
Bro doesn't know the 3rd best flex support in the world
finn right
Yeah
lol
He’s better than his father
How is that ginna work?
Are they throwing them in with the 2 kr teams slots?
KSA gonna be our mid season madness?
Ya idk I think there talking about ewc
My guess they wanna have stage 2 close to ewc for players or unless stage is ewc
It’s 3 LANs a year now, right? It’s 4 if EWC isn’t included
I think EWC is the second lan
Ya I think so to
Finals gonna be in Stockholm again wtf
länge leve stockholm
My guess they have a deal with the dream hack
Cod is also taking place there
I guess so.
Valorant did this year I think
Apparently cod is gonna have 2 majors there
So my guess they have a deal with Activision
Maybe
Could be
But more LANs is better so yay
Prob get there own slot one slot which explains why ewc has 1 china slot
N why didt they give kr 3 slots
Fr xd
I can’t wait to see Korea shit on western teams 3 times a year
But my hopes were mostly the return of China and the hero ban system from the EWC
It's happening
And org skins
Org partnership
Seems like ow esports is going up
Seoul dynasty was owned by GenG right?
Yeah I'm really happy about the latest announcements I'm looking forward to it
Lessgooooo
Yes
I don't know exactly but it seems yes
So they’re back
I only knew that London Spitfire was owned by Cloud9 x)
T1 is also returning former Fusion
Kinda
Yeah, T1 owned Fusion
I was a London Spitfire fan and I had hope they return :(
Aren’t they cloud 9?
Yes
I think they're returning in NA
Weren’t they announced to be one of the partnered orgs?
But we don't know exactly if Spitfire will return
So why you sad?
They won’t
The name no
Definitely not
I mean Toronto Defiant came back in 2024 (and now is gone)
Having cloud 9 as the name is the better marketing decision by far
So I don't think it was an impossible thing
They didn’t leave to come back and them leaving doesn’t help your case lol
If TD comes back, it’ll be as Ultra
You want your org name to match the other esports.
I've had hope Spitfire return with the same EMEA roster SSG had in 2024
For publicity
But
That roster is so shit
Respectfully
I think I'm actually fine
I strongly disagree wtf
Wdym ?
What
I can't trust you
Ksaa is the best eu tank but they didn’t even play him on one of his best tanks
I think it's because he didn't play OW for a while before worlds finals
Ssg got shit on in Stockholm in a meta that was meant for them
He’s still better than hadi on mauga
Hadi never had a good mauga to begin with
So because they lost in Stockholm they're shit ? At least they're so good that they were qualified for worlds finals. They won the EMEA Stage 4. NA got stronger than EMEA this time.
KSAA is definitely a better Mauga
Yeah
No because they played horribly. This was THIER META and they looked lost. Only one who looked good was seicoe. Everyone else was clueless
And I’m still mad at them for not playing the best eu tank
Because before worlds finals, KSAA didn't play OW for a while
I was mad at them for this too
But
I strongly disagree that they're shit
He’s been on the team for awhile tho.
They genuinely were shit
No joke
They were unbelievably mad at their meta
They didn't do great in worlds finals yes
They didn’t do decent either
You know they got 8th right?
But it's not like if they always suck in the whole season
They got 5th in stage 1
Yes but they were good enough to play in worlds even though they got 8th.
Yes which just proves how shit they are
They got 3th in Dallas Major.
Beating the one team that got last
That’s not an achievement tbh. TD was shit and TM didn’t have a roster
No
Maybe they had hard times

They’re meant to be the MACRO team and they played horribly
Didn’t win a single time
Losing to NTMR
and TM
Unacceptable
I was mad too when they lost
Couldn’t set things better for them
Hadi is good on Winston and Wrecking Ball too xd
Makes me sad
…against t3 teams maybe
Nah
They don't especially need Rein meta to win a tournament
I remember when ENCE win against SSG in Stage 4 before the finals
3-1 I think ?
Wait let me check
Ah yeah that's right.
ENCE first won.
Yeah
That's not luck that's skill
No
I mean they did their best against a team with no coach and a team with roster issues
Of course it is
I woulve been more mad if they lost to that
Anyway can't wait to see my favorite players in 2025 
Falcon on top (not anymore)
Back to never making lans 🔥
Love it when the best region has the least lan spots
of course among
Ngl I think China has to catch up a lot
we got our own MSi now
its also kinda sitting they
chose Hangzhou as the Chinese City prob because league has Chengdu also set
we back
Just realize have scrims even been leaked for last season?
I’m so hype for msi league of legends
I’m very interested to see how t1 performs
Early on people even streamed scrims but they stopped pretty fast
after that not rly
atleast to the public
Really? Idk if they’re so back with the ban system being a thing.
But they’re so back
It’s what they get for working with WDG
I think with FACEIT being OWCS’ sponsor, they get more slots.
I mean it makes sense when you pay more.
Right?
If you mean jimmy, jimmy and Ameng, hell yeah
damn i got blocked by coach ocie
another final in stockholm cool
rip na
wait wtf the midseason championship is just a renamed ewc
its the exact same as last year
third lan my ass fuck these guys
Yes
And only 2 asia teams...again
im interested to see how T1 and GenG or to see if a Golden Road is possible with that additional 3rd Tourney
how do they do with Doran is the question especially internationally
damn
Cr the Goat
Nah I'm kinda sold on the most viewership OWCS has ever had outside of the finals being integrated properly with Faceit, makes sense instead of two separate qualifiers
so you’re telling me there’s a chance OA could make it 👀
They will actually
jk if they lost to hjd it isn’t looking good spark bros…..they better get scrimming
But against Korean teams I don't think much is going to change, but I have better odds that China could win against NA easily but loses to EU
OA will be competing in their own division separate from Asia's Pacofic/Japan/Korea group
More details on all 2025 Live Events will be shared at a later date.
For our first 2025 Live Event, the Champions Clash, we are excited to host eight top teams from across the globe, with two teams qualifying per OWCS Region (ASIA, CN, EMEA, NA).
lige got a lot to prove this year especially since hero bans are introduced
so we need the tank rotation
LiGe's career should thrive or die, since they've been playing with some form of soft hero bans during Pro Chaser Association, the Chinese tournament that's hard to follow
I don't have much wifi as I've been travelling for the past few days
too lazy to copy and paste but this is what i think of the lan choices
id love to see old cn talent come back
and i want jinmu to actually get into a team that lasts more than 3 months
wastedbtalent
Riyadh isn't a choice its either go Riyadh or dont go to EWC im 99% sure
why are they still hosting events in saudi
what are we doing here
Super fucked to make going to riyadh an official overwatch lan tho. Super disappointed
money
ewc was a choice last year. Owcs was separate and that was great
well its a lan and the teams will go regardless cuz they need the money
and everyone who qualified chose to go no?
but if ewc stops being a choice and becomes a requirement, that’s really shit for the esports community
really upsetting
They won't do that, because Saudi host these kind of things to show a good image of themselves
it’s sportswashing
or
esports washing i guess
even if you wont face legal problems for being gay itll still be an incredibly unsafe place to be
Acting like it’s not dangerous at all is very naive
Don’t be complacent with sportswashing
Only if u go outside of the place where they hosting the stuff I'd say
they won't let anything happen at the actual event cuz that will cause backlash
i shouldnt have to hide in my hotel room for the entire trip tho
The danger of it is enough to drive most people away
That would be at risk
is that healthy for esports? to have that for a lan?
think of the fans too not just players they have no protection
Well ye it isn't good but I think the money is too good to not go there
Its not only blizzard thats going there, everyone is
Yeah same with china
But you won’t see all these people complain about that country
China less so from what i can tell
I’m not educated on it though
Less abuse from human rights?
The people who have 1 million Muslims in concentration camps
I can’t speak on the safety of china
china doesnt criminalize homosexuality
this mainly ^
^
biggest difference
China is more of a free choice (although maybe part of the deal to get overwatch back in china), dont think theyre as strict on that stuff as saudi though
Muslims will just kill you for being gay.
But china are holding one million Muslims in concentration camps, torturing them, and sterilizing them
Not so much better is it https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/china-xinjiang-uyghurs-muslims-repression-genocide-human-rights
So as them murdering bunch of gay people?
yeah and thats awful
They both did bad things?
id also prefer them not to have an event in china
Have a million gay people been mirdwrwd in Saudi since 2017?
Don't need to compare when they are both just as bad
I don’t want to flood chat with issue regarding the saudi government but it’s also fucking ass
don’t make it a competition on evils
They still die no?
I doubt many openly gay ppl are in saudi arabia
so no
Your making it seem like it's okay those gay people die cause Muslims die more
Main point is that for esports alone, saudi isn’t safe for minorities and is a disappointing thing for overwatch to make official
The death penalty is only imposed when two male partners have sex. Not just for being there
Still nad
Bad
China may also be its own evil but i haven’t researched, i didn’t talk about china at all actually.
visiting china while being muslim isnt as dangerous as visiting saudi while being lgbt tho
I get blocked for asking why coach ocie will be co streaming china but not Saudi 🤣
You are ignoring our points by bringing up something not related @weary scarab
It’s stupid
Bro is asshole
What point
Common strategy
Bro doesn't understand his country is worse no matter what scenario for players and coaches 😔
it’s not criminally illegal to be homosexual and they don’t have the death penalty for homosexuals. there
u happy
Is it tho? There were gay coaches in esports World Cup last year, nothing happened
why would a queer person feel safe at all going
The Saudia team was making fun of the broadcast
LMAO
Just except your country is just as bad
im saying that yes what china is doing to the uyghurs is inhumane and cruel but people visiting for owcs wouldnt be put in danger like they would be if they were lgbt in saudi arabia
Okay, I get that but the country does on the other side have way less religious freedom
But thing is
Then equally, china could also be a shit place for a lab
I simply wasn’t arguing that
muslim players and coaches wont be criminalized if they visit for owcs
Lmao
And they won’t in Saudi either
Can’t you agree or disagree on the safety of saudi arabia before arguing for the safety of china?
Please
Yes they would?
LMAOO
It happened in the world cup
ARE U SLOW?
Deadass slow?
Be fr br9
Don’t insult this should be serious
You have primate iq
itd also be more culturally accepted to be muslim in china than it would be to be gay in Audi
Stop talking to me
It’s a srs topic
Kahbe
bro might be youbi
I’m from Sweden
Sure
Jag är från sverige
Defending country cause people are gay
Fym sure lmao
Crazy shi
I’m genuinely curious if you will actually talk about if it’s fair for lgbtq to be ostracized from a lan. Are you agreeing since you bring up the similarity to muslims in china? Or are you avoiding the question? @weary scarab
I’m saying it’s still bad. But people who are gay won’t just get handcuffed for being there.
I’m being reasonable
I wan bet if I search it up
Their would be multiple crimes and way more killings
Since they have been like that since forever
If your homophobic just say so bro at this point
if youre gay in saudi your best scenario is getting your ass beat
Did anyone not watch world cup either
Do you understand English. How many times have I said that both are bad
You defend Saudia like they wouldn't do those things
I was on vacation so i missed it 😂
if youre visiting china as a muslim your worst scenario is people looking at you funny
I’m saying china is far worse then Saudi, not defending Saudi
sadly once again was playing so i had to tap in a little. I mostly tried to watch co streams rather than even watch ads
Saudia is worse that's final
No arguments that's it
So you agree that saudi is a bad lan location? you just seem so avoidant
Lol
no cap
He defends homophobic people probably
Deadass
He already went at ocie
Its a good location if u want the players to have a good salary
sure you can argue that china is worse politically but saudi is objectively more dangerous for players and coaches VISITING
