Interesting, in EMEA the top 5 teams will advance to stage 1 while in NA the top 6 teams advance, this would point to NA only having two partnered teams

[torn portal]

fearful emoji

[wet bay]

NRG finding out they missed out on partner spot to nobody

true though

[torn portal]

The only benefit this might bring is that once again would get a partner slot 🙏

but nah please don’t shit on na like that it’d be cancer

[wise orbit]

that would be peak actually

[last kelp]

oh shoot

[wise orbit]

6 pm cet

so in like half an hour

[last kelp]

oops yeah realised u said silly me

they haven't announced all teams yet, no?

[wise orbit]

http://owlcharts.com/owcs-rosters

[wise orbit]

you should find all the ones we know of here

[last kelp]

omg Landon being EMEA is real!?!

LOl

[wise orbit]

yee

he's on a very random roster lol

[last kelp]

peps looks decent still

"The ultimates" looks fucken goated

[wise orbit]

gen.g is probably the only important eu roster yet that hasn't been announced

[last kelp]

are they actually partnered or is that just leaks

wait I actually know someone on that list, that's random?

[wise orbit]

They are partnered most definitely

they are late to announce their roster since they are just waiting on confirmation

[wise orbit]

what list?

[last kelp]

hmm ok

[wise orbit]

tm is like 100% partnered and they are the only partner team to announce their roster yet

[last kelp]

the EMEA list lol, I dmmed him and he said "how'd you know that?" 😂

[wise orbit]

haha

[last kelp]

that is kinda crazy
I guess they can wait until later because they're guaranteed a spot

[wise orbit]

yea

[last kelp]

@wise orbit is there a schedule for games anywhere?

[wise orbit]

nah I don't think so

oh they just got announced @last kelp

https://www.faceit.com/sv/championship/602e9eb3-6b9d-47a8-b203-6ec803471b4c/OWCS 2025 EMEA - Open Qualifier/matches

[last kelp]

oh lit

[wise orbit]

what team was your friend on

[last kelp]

Lucky Cat

I say friend I haven't really spoken to him in ages 😂

[wise orbit]

lol

yea they are meeting randoms

[last kelp]

yeah xd

[glass sleet]

TU?

When is their game

[wise orbit]

tu vs al qadsiah in 5 min

[glass sleet]

Who’s on that team?

[wise orbit]

idk

[glass sleet]

Oh

[wise orbit]

u just have to hope a player is streaming

[glass sleet]

Checkmate

[glass sleet]

CX?

Is he not streaming it?

[wise orbit]

cx is only looking at player streams

[glass sleet]

I know the team has tred, lbbd7, checkmate, haku, and idk

[wise orbit]

ziyad

landon

[glass sleet]

Oh yeah

Kinda strong team I guess

[wise orbit]

ye

some strong some mid

could be upset but i'd be surprised

[glass sleet]

This ziyad guy was kinda hard diving on dva and it pisses me off so much during eleague

Bro was inting so fucking hard into 5 players but dude kept getting kills and living on 1hp lol

[wise orbit]

exo took one round on lijang against tu

[last kelp]

ultimates v Al qad is cray

[glass sleet]

Exo? What a shit org

“Org”

[last kelp]

is whoever the loser is getting kicked out?

[glass sleet]

Why even join the org if they don’t pay their players?

[glass sleet]

It’s Swiss

[wise orbit]

idk

wait

[last kelp]

that means nothing to me

[wise orbit]

I think hadi is in

[glass sleet]

Wdym in?

Bro plays for TM

[last kelp]

??

[wise orbit]

he can spectate

[last kelp]

yeah

[glass sleet]

Ah

[wise orbit]

him and cx are costreaming

[last kelp]

hadi pov?

ok

[wise orbit]

idk it sounded like he could

[glass sleet]

is VP a big org?

[wise orbit]

no

hadi not playing

it sounded like he could spectate the tu al qadsiah game tho

[glass sleet]

Hadi is spectating

Nvm

[last kelp]

fairly big but not a giant

[last kelp]

oh

is anyone watching any games atm??

[wise orbit]

wait its not confirmed but he might

none of the players are streaming unfortunately

[glass sleet]

Cuz the rumors are TM, VP, and GenG for emea partners even tho TU is way better imo

[wise orbit]

I think so

[last kelp]

hm

[glass sleet]

Never heard of VP in other games

[last kelp]

TU hasn't been a ow esports org before tho has it?

[wise orbit]

I think ive heard of them in cs

[glass sleet]

It’s new

[wise orbit]

its not tu so who else could it be

gen.g and vp haven't announced rosters yet i think its enough proof atp

[last kelp]

I've heard VP rumours from some uncredited sources

[last kelp]

true

[glass sleet]

Wtf they waiting for

[wise orbit]

final confirmation of partnership

blizz delaying for whatever reason

[glass sleet]

I’m pretty sure you know by now if you’re partnered or not

[wise orbit]

yea

idk

thats what cx said at least

but tm is partnered and they announced their roster except for 7th player and coach

[glass sleet]

They’re not announcing it cuz they don’t have to play Swiss

[wise orbit]

tho cx said we will probably know everything by next week

[glass sleet]

I’m waiting for him to upload uncoachable of the rosters and orgs

[last kelp]

idk if blizz is delaying, might just be org

[last kelp]

^^

[glass sleet]

Best EMEA team at least for now is the team not partnered lol

[last kelp]

what team is TU again?

[glass sleet]

KSAA, chase, kevster, Kai, faith, skai, and twilight.

ChrisTFer as their coach

Getting twilight and skai is redundant imo

On paper, that looks like the best team in emea rn

[wise orbit]

I think:
EMEA: gen.g, tm and vp(all basically confirmed)
NA: liquid, ssg(also basically confirmed)
Asia: falcons, t1, cr and zeta

[hazy marsh]

double flex i guess

[glass sleet]

CR instead of zeta I think

[wise orbit]

both

[glass sleet]

I guess.

No

Only one Japanese org

[wise orbit]

asia will probably have 4 since na will have 2

[glass sleet]

It’s 3 orgs a region

Why is Asia have 4?

[wise orbit]

no, top 6 teams in na advance to stage 1

[glass sleet]

How the fuck does NA only have two?

[wise orbit]

and emea 5 teams

[glass sleet]

Wtf

NRG got rejected for nothing?

[wise orbit]

basically

[glass sleet]

That’s wild

[wise orbit]

I don't think they ever officially said 3 per region tho, they only said 9 teams across all regions

[glass sleet]

Yeah I guess so

[cosmic socket]

https://www.twitch.tv/commanderx

[wise orbit]

game starts soon btw

starts now i think

yea now

[cosmic socket]

cx streaming tu vs qadsiah

[glass sleet]

Tell them to wait

I’m not ready

[weary scarab]

banger match rn

[wise orbit]

bruh can he tab in

[cosmic socket]

he aint tabbed in yet but i can already hear the haz lol

[wise orbit]

dumbass hahahah

[cosmic socket]

fucking finally

[weary scarab]

nah bro put in my qlm goat

[wise orbit]

its lijang, route 66, colosseo

[glass sleet]

Lbbd7 on soj!?

[wise orbit]

first to 2

the lag bro

im going to hadi

[glass sleet]

Who’s the third dps?

Btw the TU players are in KSA

[wise orbit]

on al qadsiah?

it qlm

[glass sleet]

Oh yeah that guy

He’s aight I guess

[wise orbit]

@weary scarab he's disrespecting your goat

BIG BLADE

[weary scarab]

Just watch when he comes in

[glass sleet]

Told y’all checkmate is goated

[wise orbit]

kevster casual 4k

[glass sleet]

Twilight is still in Korea that’s why he’s not playing I guess

[wise orbit]

wait has lbbd7 been on hitscan this entire time I haven't been paying attention

[glass sleet]

Kai being diffed in the soj mirror by a pharah otp

[glass sleet]

Yes

[weary scarab]

lbbda fake one trick

[glass sleet]

Kai is such a fraud

[wise orbit]

wait lbbd7 is actually crazy on the soj tho

[glass sleet]

Lol someone saying Quartz is playing for lbbd7

QLM is their hitscan and he’s not playing hitscan wild

[wise orbit]

I guess its just saudi genes to be good on hs and pharah

[weary scarab]

lbbd7s tracer is really good aswell

atleast when i play him in comp

[wise orbit]

big actually

[glass sleet]

Idk about that chief

[wise orbit]

they just have downpour now

[glass sleet]

Guys it’s just a dps diff

[wise orbit]

yeah gg

[glass sleet]

Holy carry. Kai needs to step up

[wise orbit]

kevster carry as per usual

and people keep doubting my goat

[glass sleet]

Is it just me but it’s really not impressive at all to dash into a low HP target and say “he got a 4k”

[wise orbit]

thats fair hes just cleaning up

but it looks cool

[glass sleet]

Yeah I guess but I’m not even just talking about him

People go crazy whenever a genji dashes into low hp thinking it’s so impressive or something

KSAA is out for chase

Don’t tell me KSAA is their control guy

[deft marlin]

Is there a match right now?

[glass sleet]

Swiss

[deft marlin]

Link?

[wise orbit]

probably haz maybe some winston shenanigans

https://www.twitch.tv/commanderx

[deft marlin]

Thank you

[wise orbit]

ohh ball maybe

brig zen ball

[glass sleet]

No way

[wise orbit]

is skai good on zen

[cosmic socket]

brig zen ball?

holy shit

[glass sleet]

Ball dead

[wise orbit]

tu thinks they are poker face

nah get off ts

[cosmic socket]

okay i love me some brig zen ball but this aint it

[deft marlin]

Zen Brig? Now this is my kinda comp🤩

[glass sleet]

Yay tracer finally

[wise orbit]

ok maybe it can work

I judged too quickly I think

soo many trades

[deft marlin]

God Hazard is such an obnoxious hero

[cosmic socket]

what a minefield

[weary scarab]

is tm not in swizz?

idk how new format works

[wise orbit]

they are partnered so they auto qualify

lol imagine if a partner team gets relegated xD

[deft marlin]

That would be funny

[wise orbit]

haz too strong gg

skai ana is the right move i think

[deft marlin]

Bro what if twilight is just horrible, imma be so upset

[wise orbit]

wish he could play bros still in korea

[deft marlin]

pack it up kai

[wise orbit]

nahhhhhhh

[gritty glacier]

mfs played zen brig on attack and ana brig on defense ☠️☠️

[glass sleet]

Kai is so lucky kev is part of the package

[deft marlin]

they were both pretty much non existent this game

[weary scarab]

did al qadsiah win first map?

i left last sec

[deft marlin]

checkmate locked in

[glass sleet]

Kai would not be picked up by anyone if he wasn’t kev’s duo

[glass sleet]

1-1

[wise orbit]

get chris off dive

[weary scarab]

nice

[glass sleet]

Also kev was carrying first map

[deft marlin]

lowkey

[weary scarab]

we have a qlm chance

pls

[gritty glacier]

they are not pokerface

[glass sleet]

Kai being carried

[deft marlin]

do they have naother hitscan?

[glass sleet]

Who? Don’t let him play.

[gritty glacier]

nothing new

[weary scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/vattenhål-vatten-hål-jätte-rent-water-hole-1000-yard-stare-gif-10168564268640112309

[glass sleet]

“Another” they have ONE hitscan and he’s not playing cuz the pharah otp is better

[weary scarab]

https://youtu.be/4pH_9Y0FRwo?si=zYDmB3uTiamAN8tu

this video will alway sbe funny

[deft marlin]

Wish they got Xzodyal, they gonna lose games because of this

[gritty glacier]

Nobody wanted to get the young prospect

[glass sleet]

Kai was not good on ence and still got picked up by TU. What a lucky mf

[gritty glacier]

Only the established borderline washed players

[deft marlin]

bro hes niceeeeee

[gritty glacier]

not only is kai the worst player on that team he’s also least flexible

Bros cooked if they ban soj on koth

[glass sleet]

Bro was cooked ON SOJ

[deft marlin]

yea hero bans are gonna be so interesting to see play out

[glass sleet]

I just don’t like that the hero bans are after roster lock

[spiral light]

that nano over clock 😭

[glass sleet]

That’s dumb

[gritty glacier]

Like kai cannot be getting first picked by lbdd7

Bro☠️☠️

[deft marlin]

yea thats crazy

[spiral light]

do tu even have another dps player

[wise orbit]

nope

[gritty glacier]

Nope

[spiral light]

LOL

[glass sleet]

Nope!!!

Unbelievable

I would understand if it was a great HS player but NOT IF ITS KAI

[gritty glacier]

they should’ve used their import slot to grab mn3 before he went military or something over twilight ngl

[deft marlin]

Kev is good but having to use kai is NOT worth it

[glass sleet]

It’s like Quartz

Stuck with shit dps duos

Actually

Lbbd7 out here rn

[spiral light]

seicoe quartz much better than kai kev tho

[gritty glacier]

Nah no plural, literally just Youbi lmao

[glass sleet]

They haven’t played yet but yes. I was talking about since Quartz been on TM. Stuck with one tricks

[spiral light]

i’m surprised they kept youbi but tm still haven’t released their 7th player so prob another saudi for SEL

[glass sleet]

Youbi being on the team still cuz dumbasses think he’s a good igl

[gritty glacier]

Kai finally did something

[deft marlin]

Kai heard us talking shit

[glass sleet]

4 dps? No

[gritty glacier]

Don’t even matter they didn’t get progress off it

[weary scarab]

another korean most likely

[wise orbit]

kai is just like this

heäs very inconsistent

[gritty glacier]

Youbi is like the manager basically I heard idk

[spiral light]

yeah but idek what korean they would get atp

[glass sleet]

Idc if they believe youbi is a good IGL, get him off the team.

[weary scarab]

donghak

[spiral light]

feels like every team has 2 korean imports now

[spiral light]

stalk3r 👀

[weary scarab]

or all the other korean tanks left

[glass sleet]

He bosses everyone like he’s the boss but dude is legit dogshit

[weary scarab]

i think they will be looking for korean dive tank

[glass sleet]

At this point I think his dad owns TM

[weary scarab]

to fill out there lack of roster

[spiral light]

suprised they won’t be in SEL tho

[wise orbit]

the saudi league?

[spiral light]

yeah

[gritty glacier]

Tm should be a guarantee qualify for China

[wise orbit]

what the fuck was the point of keeping youbi then

[gritty glacier]

Provided Youbi doesn’t bully anyone off the team

[spiral light]

what i’m saying

thought they’d pick up another saudi

[glass sleet]

Dude you can only have two non Saudi and tm only has two Saudis

[spiral light]

suprised they wouldn’t go for majed

idek how he’s even still on falcons

[glass sleet]

TM roster is not eligible for SEL

[weary scarab]

i dont see why al qadsiah got checkmate instead of tm

[spiral light]

this match is really close tho woah

[weary scarab]

so annoying

[glass sleet]

Junkbuck said sirmajed is a top tier support

[spiral light]

should’ve taken him wiyh him to al qadish then

[glass sleet]

Cuz they’re not being blackmailed by youbi

[weary scarab]

youbi is not a supervillain bro 😂

[spiral light]

just had beef with ksaa no?

[glass sleet]

No he’s not cool enough. He’s just a dick

[spiral light]

he is treated like a villian tho

he’s just an asshole tho lmao

[static turret]

Yes he is

[glass sleet]

He’s an asshole towards non Saudis at this point. Bro has been toxic to so many players

[static turret]

If youbi wasn’t on tm id like the team

[wise orbit]

no beat gg

[static turret]

I don’t understand how someone so bad can have an ego

[wise orbit]

ggs

great game

[spiral light]

would love a scoreboard check

[glass sleet]

His Arab community won’t stop sucking his dick cuz he’s meh in SEL

Oh speaking of sucking dick

Can’t forget youbi yelling at kraan to suck his dick

[wise orbit]

didnt know lbbd7 was a demon on the soj that was cool to see

[static turret]

Remeber when Youbi messaged everyone after ewc when they lost

Flexing his owwc win

Even tho his god tier off tank and quartz deadlifted him

[spiral light]

high only highlight was killing sugarfree on tracer mirror

[static turret]

Aura tbh

[spiral light]

then he sprayed his body and teabgagged pretty sure they got swept too

[static turret]

Killing the na goat?

[glass sleet]

Dude even the pharah one trick was on bap. Youbi is being carried so hard by everyone

[static turret]

Sugarfree was goin crazy tho in ewc

[wise orbit]

chase has potential on the ball

maybe they could pull off the ball comp on like new queen street

[static turret]

What team is Chase on now

[glass sleet]

The team has a weird ass name

[glass sleet]

TU

[spiral light]

ultimates

[static turret]

Ah

[glass sleet]

With KSAA

[static turret]

Is tu just Saudi flexing their money and signing everyone

?

It’s a solid roster

[wise orbit]

he's out of ukraine so he can play on lan this year

[glass sleet]

They’re serious about competing

[static turret]

Bro made it out of the warzone

[spiral light]

cant wait for these partnered teams announcements this weekend

[static turret]

Cloudy team lost

Someone get ghost91 on a real team bro

[glass sleet]

Omg I’m so shocked

[static turret]

I saw cloudy was 15 n 15

Knew it was cooked

[spiral light]

he whiffed shatter last fight on defense

[glass sleet]

AQ

[static turret]

The era for rein otp is over

[glass sleet]

should we call the team AQ

[static turret]

Who’s gonna tell him

[wise orbit]

do you guys think its possible for oa to get partner now that na is probably only getting two?

[static turret]

It would make sense

[glass sleet]

Dude Once again isn’t even an org

[static turret]

Oh

Fr?

[wise orbit]

I see

[static turret]

I assumed they were

Ngl

[glass sleet]

It’s funded by a woman

[static turret]

A singular lady ?

[spiral light]

i think china is it’s own region tho they don’t compete in asia for some reason

[glass sleet]

Their grandmother

[static turret]

Ah

[wise orbit]

Ok then it's probably t1, falcons, cr and zeta 🤔

[glass sleet]

Jk not her but

[spiral light]

not zeta

[glass sleet]

It was a lady with money who was paying out of her pocket to support the players

[wise orbit]

is zeta too small you think

[static turret]

Oa could get signed by a non Chinese org tho

[spiral light]

it’s t1 cr falcons 100%

[glass sleet]

During EWC they got picked up by a Chinese org but dropped afterwards

[wise orbit]

yea but 4th

[static turret]

Lgd right ?

[glass sleet]

Zeta is definitely not small

[wise orbit]

since na is only getting 2 it seems

[spiral light]

idek if they would give the spot to another region

[glass sleet]

Yeah are they still partnered by LGD?

[static turret]

Uhh

Idk

Prob not

[spiral light]

because then you’d have a partnered team not making a LAN

[glass sleet]

Anyway, they’re not gonna get a slot

[static turret]

They got spanked pretty hard

[wise orbit]

they said 9 orgs across emea, na and asia

[static turret]

But maybe now they partner again

[wise orbit]

that was always a possibility

[static turret]

Since China is getting ow funding for staged and events

China better not disappoint

[wise orbit]

tu can definitely beat gen.g or vp for lan slot

[glass sleet]

Ngl I’m excited to see how the first lan goes in China. Never been there and never seen them run an event

[static turret]

It’ll be tm and tu going lan

[wise orbit]

yea most likely

[static turret]

Most likely

[spiral light]

i’m excited for that t1 roster

[glass sleet]

Nah don’t count GenG out yet. They have crusty

[wise orbit]

if rumors are true its looking pretty mid

[static turret]

Crusty and his crack pipe

[weary scarab]

i have hope for al qaidsiah and tm lan

[static turret]

Crusty worlds greatest and worst coach at the same time

[glass sleet]

They gotta change that name

Wtf is it

It’s hard to pronounce

[wise orbit]

I also believe in al qaidah

[glass sleet]

Don’t they know names are supposed to be cool and catchy?

[weary scarab]

name goes hard

[glass sleet]

YALL ARE SPELLING IT WRONG

[glass sleet]

Yeah so hard you keep misspelling it lol

[wise orbit]

bin laden rumored coach

[spiral light]

just gonna call it AQ

[wise orbit]

bin laden on pharah

[glass sleet]

That’s what I’ll do

[static turret]

This is just insane

[glass sleet]

Are these racist jokes?

[static turret]

😭

[glass sleet]

Making fun of a Saudi org saying they’ll have bin laden on

That’s wild

[static turret]

Did a mod delete that pic

😭

[wise orbit]

al qaidsiah is awfully similar to al qaidah he even misspelled it as that xD

[weary scarab]

bro look at the org name 😂

sounds a little familiar dosent it

[glass sleet]

WTF damn I didn’t catch that

[glass sleet]

Never crossed my mind tbh

pge and durpee on a pro team would be the funniest shit to ever watch tho

drop knife scissors plays center better

[deft marlin]

add trung to it also

this roster needs yaki

do you want him to get bullied again???

[torn portal]

he needs both negative and positive perspectives to reach full potential

luckily, he also has christfer to help with dive coaching ^_^

[robust patio]

yus

[mortal cipher]

from i know its just the two coaches mer1t and somone so far in terms of SKTT1

[sullen berry]

I genuinely cannot answer that

Anyways, it’s a chill Friday. I might have time to catch up on ow esports announcements for those partnered teams. Which hasn’t been officially announced btw

[sullen berry]

Aren’t faceit matches only being streamed on delay by the players

[mortal cipher]

Hopefully the Asia start doing it

[glass sleet]

Admiral, and zeruhh deserve to be on the top two na orgs.

Especially zeruhh but I guess people would still tell you sugarfree and Tr33 are better

Ntmr might not be partnered but at least the players still getting paid

[torn portal]

fl4k will always be my goat in terms of managers

like

the amount of rosters he funded is crazy i love it

big calling all heroes supporter, made an awesome owcs roster, and supports a tier 2 team with ntmr rotation since day 1

[robust patio]

real

[mortal cipher]

Honestly i want to see the changes and just the teams in general ( pesides Poker Face )

[robust patio]

i wanna see T1 vs CR

[sullen berry]

Because someone here might be interested in the Lew’ of the land.

and when haz gets banned, guess who he's been playing?

[robust patio]

WAIT

AMENG IS BAVK?

CAN WE SEE AMENG VS JUNBIN BALLLLLLLLLLLLL

https://tenor.com/view/absolute-cinema-redsimon-gif-2466327314739829689

[sullen berry]

his team needs to win playoffs to look like a contender

bro is about as washed as jehong

without the accolades

Ameng's team about to break into playoffs

[sullen berry]

Ever since OW returned to china, i can see why he quit his game developer job to go back and join a pro team again

[torn portal]

ameng in china gives china another fan favorite player outside of oa

that’s the biggest thing i think

[deft marlin]

Hopefully China can turn it up this season

[sullen berry]

good hero ban

[mortal cipher]

V much

[robust patio]

ah

basically ameng vs junbin is ryu vs shu

[weary scarab]

[robust patio]

my prediction

[static pond]

Zeta getting a slot

Let go

Most likely to replace third slot in na

[robust patio]

1. CR
2. Zeta
3. T1
4. Falcon
5. Geng
6. Space
7. Twisted
8. virtus
9. Team Liq

[glass sleet]

So NRG just ain’t shit

NA so shit they only got two slots

[static turret]

They had a 3rd

C9

But they backed out

[mortal cipher]

Honestly I’m fine with only 2 na over Zeta

Honestly Asia should have the most slots in all honestly tho

[thorny gazelle]

4 for strongest region 2 for weakest? Why don't they do this with Lan spots as well

[mortal cipher]

That’s what league does 4 for APAC / Eastern teams 3 for the Eu teams and 2 for NA / minor regions

[mortal cipher]

Should take a book out of league with the international tournaments

[torn portal]

well na has 2 slots already, and everyone else

complaining at na right now is a hard sell when china is getting 2 slots and no partners

i think the partners aren’t bad though but ntmr skins would’ve be cool…….

[rugged quest]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/348939546878017536/1329849588957450250/Screenshot_20250118_012640_Samsung_Internet.jpg?ex=678bd671&is=678a84f1&hm=1c220a04ce5961d9e2b2b31805c9e6f0cbfc282ec02766634700d7b81eae5979&

[torn portal]

so nothing changes really

[robust patio]

rascal on coach too

zeta lookin strong

[mortal cipher]

Ye

[mortal cipher]

Honestly over SSG would’ve been better or another org

So the shu rumor was false lol

[deft marlin]

So how long until these team skins are made is the real question🤔

[robust patio]

id spend $1000 for a full Cr skin

[mortal cipher]

I’ll at least get one for each

[robust patio]

id want Cr widow sojourn for lip
falcon genji for proper
cr ball for junbin
cr ana for shu
cr lucio brig for chorong
cr sigma for max
cr echo for heesang

[static turret]

Did yall see the Ssg trashed

Fresher

[glass sleet]

We guessed the orgs right

The rumors have been correct

[glass sleet]

I thought you were getting skins for for best player on each hero

[robust patio]

exactly

[glass sleet]

No way

Max isn’t the best sigma and heesang is definitely not the best echo

[hazy marsh]

whos best sigma?

[wise orbit]

bestola

[glass sleet]

Hanbin, Vestola, KSAA. You know the same suspects

[robust patio]

for echo sure u can say stalker

[glass sleet]

Not max

[glass sleet]

It’s 100% Stalk3r

[robust patio]

but no ones beating max on sigma atm

[glass sleet]

It’s actually illegal to say anyone other than Stalk3r

[robust patio]

brother even max 2v5 hanbin and his entire falcon team

[glass sleet]

And Fielder for brig

[robust patio]

nah

[glass sleet]

Why we lying now?

[robust patio]

chorong improved atm

[hazy marsh]

fielder is the best fs brig but no way you put him over the best ms' on brig

[robust patio]

have u not seen owcs qualifiers

[glass sleet]

You literally missed most of OWCS bro wdym?

[robust patio]

his drama and his mindset made him lose to hjd

[robust patio]

and still didnt see anyone outperform maxs sigma lol

[glass sleet]

Fielder has drama?

[robust patio]

with chiyo

[glass sleet]

They didn’t even play mush sigma anyway but max is not the best sigma

[robust patio]

also i can argue hanbin but

and Someone

[glass sleet]

That’s not his drama. That’s him being fed up with chiyo’s bs

[robust patio]

but vestola and ksaa is no where near their skill

[glass sleet]

Oh someone is someone who actually played sigma more than others this season

You can pick anyone but max

Wilding thinking it’s max who was benched most of the year

[robust patio]

even someone said max is better sigma in irl

[glass sleet]

Irl?

Funny

[hazy marsh]

why you think this?

[glass sleet]

He’s Korean

[robust patio]

they lost

[robust patio]

yes they even 1vs1ed

[wise orbit]

vestola lowkey diffed hanbin on sig in world cup no?

[hazy marsh]

this is what i was thinking

[robust patio]

cus it aint his meta lol

[wise orbit]

I honestly don't think vestola is that far behind the best koreans on sig

[robust patio]

im talking about max and someone

hanbin is better on dva queen zar

[glass sleet]

…no. He’s crazy raccoon’s off tank player and coach said “fuck this loser, imma make Junbin play ram instead”

[hazy marsh]

is hanbin the best dva rn?

[glass sleet]

Max is overrated anyway

[robust patio]

he did not say that lmfao

[robust patio]

bernar

[glass sleet]

Vestola diffed hanbin twice and KSAA won OWWC on sigma but let’s not give them credit

[wise orbit]

I was there I heard it

[glass sleet]

Junbin was literally playing ram

And mauga

Like max is that mid?

Max always loses his maps

[wise orbit]

I believe in the cloudy zar

[robust patio]

💀

[static pond]

Tbf that was mostly a 4v5 kr running single dps

[glass sleet]

Max was benched most of the year and lost most his maps against FLC

[wise orbit]

perhaps

still impressive though

[static pond]

I dont this is true btw

He won most

[glass sleet]

Against FLC? He didn’t

Against other teams? Ofc

[static pond]

In a game where dps make the plays you can’t really just run a hitscan

[glass sleet]

Btw Vestola didn’t retire right?

[wise orbit]

nope

he's rumored to be on vp

[robust patio]

he actually did win most lol

max winning a 2v4 against falcons

[glass sleet]

So he’s either not on a team at all or he’s on one of the partnered orgs

[wise orbit]

yeah

so he's 99% on vp

[glass sleet]

It’s heesang cooking and bro said max

[robust patio]

either way, Cr T1 or zeta gonna win

[hybrid hollow]

EU actually has a regular season worth watching now

[wise orbit]

I never said they wouldn't lol

I'm just saying vestola is on vp

[robust patio]

heesang came later brother but ok

[wise orbit]

I'm like 99% sure

[glass sleet]

Hazard gonna get nerfed and people gonna go back to mauga

Or orisa cuz she might get buffed

[robust patio]

its gonna be zeta meta

[wise orbit]

idk t1 rumored roster is kinda mid

[robust patio]

what are the rumored rosters

[glass sleet]

Nah man it’s over

Kai is so washed

[robust patio]

t1 has proud viper dps duo with donghak tank

they are not mid

proud viper dps duo redemption coming soon

[wise orbit]

I don't think they are beating cr
