jagged crater
#

outlaws a pretty beast lineup

#

great western players

#

so many diverse dps players

#

all 4 of them have shown prowess on tracer/hitscan/projectile

red anvil
#

they got a massive chance of doing it well, i'm slightly worried that they dont have any specalists though

#

but they got the best tank duo from NA, good supports

jagged crater
#

muma main tank, coolmatt as dva, spree zarya

red anvil
#

and there dps can specialize where needed

jagged crater
#

im guessing mendo or linkz could go tracer or genji

#

clockwork or jake on hitscan/pharah

red anvil
#

linkzr you want to keep on genji

limber pine
#

Miami is supposedly Mayhem

red anvil
#

oh right i forgot that

jagged crater
#

there's really no specialist dps player on houston, they're all well rounded dps players

#

havent seen jake on tracer or clockwork on genji tho, so mendo or linkz is def for those roles

#

tho my boy spree tho

red anvil
#

jake is a vocal player, but there stops his strength compared to other players

#

possibly pharah

jagged crater
#

i visited spree's stream before the houston announcement, he looked lost as if he wasnt on OWL

#

so glad he's actually in it

#

so there's a high chance the remaining 4 faze members will be on a team

#

i cant imagine carpe or shadowburn not in one for sure

clear vale
#

I thought carpe confirmed that he wasn't in owl

#

Unless something changed

jagged crater
#

for relz?

pine star
#

Does this confirm whoever held the spot for season 1 still holds it, so no open qualifiers?

wintry matrix
#

i think it was confirmed a while back

#

well, not officialy, but i remember lots of people saying it

#

dunno if it will stay this way forever

pine star
#

True

#

Also this

limber pine
#

maybe teams that made the top 16 get priority seating?

clever portal
#

I actually hope there's no slot system

#

Give them priority seeding yes

pine star
#

Yeah I'll be behind that

balmy wolf
#

4 blue teams in the owl

#

i thought they wanted to make it easier to watch

#

the boston and new york colour scheme is basically the same

pine star
#

It's been said thousands of times

#

They're getting home and away skins

wintry matrix
#

wait, has all skins been either blue or red as dominant color?

#

nvm, seoul is black

pine star
#

Valiant is green

#

Shock is orange

wintry matrix
#

oh, i thought it was blue too

limber pine
#

WHERE'S THE PICTURE

wintry matrix
#

although i think i saw winston in SF Shock skin, and there was a bit of lbue

#

which pic?

pine star
#

Philly is orange too

limber pine
#

somebody combined the skins into a single image

pine star
#

Outlaws is green/black too

#

Missing Philly and London

limber pine
pine star
#

Ah that one

#

Mine's prettier (?

limber pine
#

nah

#

Fuel's alt will probably be silver

#

NYXL probably a different blue

wintry matrix
#

i wonder what's the though process between choosing colors

limber pine
#

BU prob yellow and white

wintry matrix
#

like how there's similar colors there

pine star
#

NYXL will probably be red

limber pine
#

i'd imagine the teams picked the colors

#

and blizz did the branding

pine star
#

Because the skin has red in it and "New York" is in red as well

limber pine
#

maybe Lucio is a bad example, but it's got very little red on it

#

it'd be wierd for the alt to be red?

#

maybe?

pine star
#

True

#

Was thinking the same

#

Maybe red and white or something?

#

Or white and blue for the alt

limber pine
#

white and red accented with blue

#

would be cool

vestal mortar
#

Yeah I assume it'd be like

pine star
#

What would Spitfire alt be? White with yellow and blue accents?

limber pine
#

I feel like Lucio's not the best showcase, cuz he still has a lot of gray and white in there

vestal mortar
#

these are the home colour, majority dark blue and red the least with away colours being majority red, least dark blue

pine star
#

The primary looks like an away palette

vestal mortar
#

Each team has 3 colours on their team page

#

I just clicked the first team I saw, I probably could have picked a better example, yeah. I was just lazy.

limber pine
#

I just know I'm buying lots of Outlaws skins

#

not because I live in Houston

#

but because the green and black are dope

vestal mortar
#

Me too! C:

pine star
#

I hope Valiant jerseys are good, because I need one for my boy Kariv

#

Also a Dallas for Taimou

limber pine
#

They need less green

pine star
#

Miami for TviQ

#

A New York one for Saebyeolbe

#

Oh no

#

I'm gonna go bankrupt

limber pine
#

yuuuup

#

inb4 you can only buy them in packs

vestal mortar
#

😭

limber pine
#

what colors are we missing

#

deep red

#

brown

vestal mortar
#

pink

limber pine
#

pink

#

inb4 mayhem

vestal mortar
#

: D

pine star
#

The Sydney's Kappaprides

vestal mortar
#

Purple

pine star
#

Purple would actually be a good color

#

Like the old CLG jerseys that came purple and black

#

Those were sick

limber pine
#

Miami/Misfits will probably be misfit colors

#

who owns the 2nd LA spot?

pine star
#

Yeah, red white and black

#

The Kroenkes

limber pine
#

and white blue and yellow are taken

pine star
#

"Taken"

limber pine
#

so no clue wtf LA2 will be

pine star
limber pine
#

well sure

#

"taken"

vestal mortar
#

Give me pink!

pine star
#

Inb4 blue

limber pine
#

we have enough blue

#

pink, brown, and purple it is

vestal mortar
#

give me green white and gold

grizzled mulch
#

Inb4 LAG used Immortal green

pine star
#

@vestal mortar Valiant?

We know everyone has been waiting for more news on Esca, and we want to thank everyone for their patience. We can confirm that he will not be a part of the Seoul Dynasty roster. However, he is and will still be a very important part of the KSV organization. We will have an official statement with more news next week.

Hey that's pretty good

balmy wolf
#

Anyone feel like teams that have lighter uniforms will be at a disadvantage

#

They're much more easier to spot and aim at than dark uniform players

bronze hedge
#

the teams wont be using the skins

#

they usually just use default skins

silent summit
#

really? cause the video above shows the teams using matching skins for several different characters

#

would be weird to make all those skins just to be used for internal testing and general public

bronze hedge
#

I dunno

world cup teams will use country skins

#

Oh god those new features

#

Fucking hype

forest raven
#

ikr

#

i'm so excited

solid osprey
#

that isn't red

#

why isn't the red in the US outfits red

gaunt acorn
#

what's the problem?

#

@solid osprey have you looked at an American flag recently?

#

it's not tomato red

#

colour looks accurate to me

solid osprey
gaunt acorn
#

glare from recording a monitor with a camera is not accurate colouring

#

they all use the same colour values

#

the mccree one is how they'll look in-game

#

and mccree's red looks accurate to the flag

solid osprey
#

mccree has the actual red on the flag on his cape in the back

#

it's not the same

gaunt acorn
#

because there are lighter and darker bits

#

shading, etc.

#

I don't see an issue with it

#

colours look pretty faithful to the real flag

#

giving them this shade of red would be innacurate

solid osprey
#

Yeah, no I'm not saying it should be tomato red. The hue just looks very far into the pink/purple area too me

gaunt acorn
#

for mccree I think it's just a case of hue-shifting

solid osprey
balmy wolf

@forest raven I wanna give LAV's designer a talking to

#

Those UI upgrades are great though, can't wait to see them in action

forest raven
#

yeah agreed

#

but fr tho

knotty acorn
#

Oh that made me wanna vom

#

Wonder if these upgrades can be applied to the custom games for official tournaments outside of OWWC and OWL

#

That'd be great for local tournaments

forest raven

mhm

#

hopefully

knotty acorn

I may actually get up for the games... Start at 5am for me

#

And AUS up at 7am

Horrible logo ffs

silk linden

^horrible taste

pine star
#

Are you kidding?

#

The logo is amazing

silk linden
#

a palm tree fuse is genius

pine star
rapid oxide
#

That logo looks like made in paint by a 14 yo without artistic skl

#

Skill

#

Like the NYXL and Shock

limpid estuary
#

I like the palm tree fuse

#

But this is pretty much just Junkrat the team

pine star
#

@rapid oxide you are, of course, entitled to your own opinion and tastes

limpid estuary
#

Outlaws has my favourite logo though

pine star
#

That being said, you're wrong and I hate you

rapid oxide
#

Sad i didn't see any sport like logo tbh

#

Also Miami > Florida smh

limpid estuary

Whats left, the second LA team?

wait florida mayhem? wasnt it supposed to be miami mayham?

silk linden
#

florida mayhem rings true though. Like San Francisco Earthquakes or New Jersey Garbage

balmy wolf
#

logo isnt great but way better than the ny one

#

and i dont really like the la one either so id say its better than that too

limpid estuary
#

Outlaws has my favourite Logo.

#

Longhorn made out of guns.

balmy wolf
#

yeah definitely

#

but i really like the dallas one too

limpid estuary
scarlet spear
#

outlaws fits the theme really well yeah

limpid estuary
#

Excelsior is my least favourite though. It looks more like a flag than anything really

pine star
#

I'm sure they can and will do some pretty good graphic design for NYXL with that logo, in posters, jerseys, wallpapers, etc

#

But as a logo, yeah, it sucks

balmy wolf

Does anybody else feel that having most of the teams based in NA seem wrong

hallow fable
#

yeah, but money.

balmy wolf
#

Like I'm pretty sure East Europe is a good spot for a team because esports is kind of a thriving culture there

hallow fable
#

Come S2, I hope none of the new franchiess are NA.

vestal mortar
#

Mostly NA investment so far so they'd probably like to get a team in NA

balmy wolf
#

Yeah

#

Well sponsorships don't really stake a ground, it's the management that does that

#

I come from Dota esports culture and their base ops are usually depends on the management

vestal mortar
#

I have no idea how Dota esports works

#

So I can't tell you if OWL is working in a similar manner

balmy wolf
#

DotA esports teams are usually based on the general area where the teams come from

vestal mortar
#

Each team owner will have to invest in practice areas/competitive play studios when S2 comes around because teams will move to their home cities.

#

And for now, it is easier that most slots are NA because of travel/visas etc

#

And every team is LA based for S1

They Should do a thing where the winner Of the World Cup Gets a League Team For a year (in either the capital or city of choice) Then It goes away and the winner of the next year gets to pick. As i typed this i realized that Rosters would Be Super hard to do.

hallow fable
#

most of the world cup players are allready on league teams.

forest raven
#

yeah you couldn't do that

#

what norn said

#

and players who aren't in owl will want to play in contenders to get noticed by owl teams for mid-season signing or season 2

hallow fable
#

have they confirmed mid season signings?

Shadowburn vs seagull in a OWL game would be

quite a public event

spring lintel

I wonder if he is going to OWL or not

Cause he is not streaming or doing anything pro related

balmy wolf
#

Huh

spring lintel

He might be just playing for fun

velvet scarab

i would be surprised if sdb didnt get into owl

@subtle fable what's the source?

good find

subtle fable

seoul team kr fan community

gaunt acorn
#

interesting

#

that would make 11 on the roster

#

I wonder if they'll go for 12

#

so they can scrim internally

#

or maybe esca will scrim but not play

#

yeah so if they got 1 more player they could do 6v6 scrim practice internally

#

esca is still part of the team just not on the roster

#

so perhaps he'll help scrim or something

#

unless they plan on acquiring a 12th player

because they has only 2 supports

Give it a few years. The issue is that gaming isn't totally mainstream yet, except for Korea where the population is mostly young

Gotta wait for all the kids who became gamers to grow up into adults. Then it's main culture and you bet your ass people will take Esports more seriously

From tournaments to full blown commericalized leagues

@quiet gorge Are college esports still basically clubs or is there some system similar to traditional college athletics now?

College Esports leagues will happen later, when the old farts who run the colleges die tbh.

There is now a competition that involves 25 teams and top 8 get scholarships, UoU is full blown esports sport team, UvU is still on their way but you can still get a scholarship

That's just how generations work. As long as the older generation holds the power they won't care about what we are interested in.

oh so they're covered by the game design school it seems

okay so seems like they're offcially supported but not part of "college sports" so it's not like they're the Utah Utes esport team

wonder if that changes
I don't even think it's the "old farts" that's the problem
more like the opposite, esport leagues won't want to have anything to do with NCAA
