And Jiqiren to Winston/Rein.

minor flame Mar 14, 2019, 4:32 PM

#

Who will Yangxiaolong replace?

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:32 PM

#

Baconjack, most likely.

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:32 PM

#

Currently no one

#

Not useful this meta

inland pawn Mar 14, 2019, 4:32 PM

but baconjack is PogU

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:32 PM

#

In general backonhaxk

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:32 PM

So was YXL.

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:32 PM

YXL was Leave but hitscan.

monkaS

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:32 PM

#

If he can get back to anywhere near that level, he'd still be an upgrade over Baconjack.

smoky spade Mar 14, 2019, 4:33 PM

#

Who's YXL?

mint flower Mar 14, 2019, 4:33 PM

#

wait do we know when they are arriving

#

YXL is a madlad

inland pawn Mar 14, 2019, 4:33 PM

#

YXL is NYXL Kappa

minor flame Mar 14, 2019, 4:33 PM

#

YangXiaoLong is Chengdus Hitscan

smoky spade Mar 14, 2019, 4:33 PM

#

Ah YangXiaoLong

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:33 PM

#

He's from the original Miraculous Youngsters roster, insane little hitscan.

#

I saw him streaming with Lateyoung and Jiqiren on the Korean servers a while back.

#

Still looked good.

#

Solid Zarya.

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

I’m in bed typing w one hand leave me alone

smoky spade Mar 14, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

tbh you gotta respect Chengdu for creating a solid roster out of only chinese players

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

China isn't behind in play.

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

China is nutty

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

They're probably the best up and coming region.

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

Shanghai was a scam

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

Because most of their crazy talent is still young.

minor flame Mar 14, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

China is weird nutty

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

Shngh#ai is ni example of how China is@

smoky spade Mar 14, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

SK still gonna win OWWC tho let's go

minor flame Mar 14, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

Out of all asia countries surprisingly China has the moost promising young talent

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

Also with getting the influx of teams like LFZ, etc, they get more overall practice against Koreans earlier on in their career.

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

China could beat sk

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

That was huge for their development.

mint flower Mar 14, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

SHD last year picked up ass players

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

Minus Diya.

#

I still argue Diya was OWL worthy.

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

Nepotism

smoky spade Mar 14, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

imo SK is still going to win

mint flower Mar 14, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

i liked undead

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:36 PM

#

Undead was useless.

#

He wasn't their best Widow, and could only play McCree.

#

It was like getting autistic Pine.

mint flower Mar 14, 2019, 4:36 PM

#

ehhhh i dont remember diya popping off a significant amount either

balmy wolf Mar 14, 2019, 4:36 PM

#

Hi dapper

mint flower Mar 14, 2019, 4:36 PM

#

in stage 1 and 2

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:36 PM

#

Because Diya was flexing around Undead.

#

Because they had to play his shit ass.

mint flower Mar 14, 2019, 4:36 PM

#

hello @balmy wolf

balmy wolf Mar 14, 2019, 4:37 PM

Who's the best player in the league

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:37 PM

How u pop off on Shanghai

smoky spade Mar 14, 2019, 4:37 PM

Me

mint flower Mar 14, 2019, 4:37 PM

thats a vague question

minor flame Mar 14, 2019, 4:37 PM

Best player

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

@queen drift You play Houston in Stage 4, and be Diya.

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

Llll

minor flame Mar 14, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

Is

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

Diya put all of shanghai in a backpack and went for a hike that game.

smoky spade Mar 14, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

That's not really a question you can answer with a team game like OW

minor flame Mar 14, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

Coaches

#

Diya seems mechanically inconsistent though

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

He just strikes me as someone who lost confidence due to what happened.

#

Which I can understand.

#

U4 fucked that team up.

smoky spade Mar 14, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

Shanghai winning their first match was so hype

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

Hard.

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

Right now I’d say it’s between anyone from nyxl or vancohver tinker like plus Jjonak

#

Tank line

#

But deominsoo

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

See I disagree with the Jjonak vote.

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

Instead of bumper

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

I think its hard to accurate gauge some of the players on Vancouver and NYXL.

#

Because they're not insane for themselves a lot of times.

#

Not that they're bad.

#

But they get enabled by an equally great roster.

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

Jjanu, seominsoo, Mano or Neko then

#

Neko

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

Would Jjonak do Jjonak things if he suddenly got swapped to Florida, for instance.

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

M

minor flame Mar 14, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

He would prob still get alot of initiative picks

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

I know Jjonak is still an insane player.

minor flame Mar 14, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

But die more

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

But when you get those power house teams its so hard to say accurately if someone is suddenly the best.

#

Or if their team makes them as such.

#

Which is its own philosophical argument.

smoky spade Mar 14, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

If you look at JJonak vods (which I have done plenty of since I'm a Korean with the same hero roster as him), he's one of the best in OWL

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

I don’t gbkmk any single player has as much of an impact on owl

#

Except Carpe

minor flame Mar 14, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

Gbkmk

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

Think

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

It's think.

minor flame Mar 14, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

Gbkmk

smoky spade Mar 14, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

Remember the "JJonak effect," where teams tried to get their zen players to pop off like him?

#

Season 1

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

Carpe has hard carry potential, I'd argue that Dding has carry potential.

smoky spade Mar 14, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

Carpe has carried before

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

Jjonak is Jjonak, but I don't think he's the raw carry of NYXL.

minor flame Mar 14, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

Dding has been inconsistent in recent showings

smoky spade Mar 14, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

Sucks that he's in Zarya jail

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

I'd argue Libero and Mano are the carries of NYXL.

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

But he still has that impact

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

Libero allows that team to have SO much freedom.

smoky spade Mar 14, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

Well you can't carry NYXL when everyone on the roster is insane

#

How is libero carrying on brig lol

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

And Mano just has probably the smoothest tank play in the league.

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

I said impact not. Carry I don’t tjink anyone carri s nyxl

#

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

From Stage 1 in Season 1 to now I will 100% believe that Libero and Mano give NYXL such a huge advantage that gets understated so often.

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

nah

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

Just having a DPS that plays literally everything at such a high level takes a ton of stress off your lines.

Yveltals Lucio.

Yveltal has crazy game sense when it comes to ults like bomb/EMP.

And he dodged so many of them in the World Cup.

queen drift Mar 14, 2019, 4:58 PM

I think they underperformed

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 4:58 PM

So they never prepped for anything past that.

#

So they won, then they had to play Canada.

So they did a night of near no-sleep prepping for Canada.

Kyo I'd argue too.

#

I expected him to be pretty weak based on his contenders play.

#

But he's been solid.

limber pine Mar 14, 2019, 5:05 PM

#

I was not sold on BaconJack in weeks 1 and 2

#

but his play has been much improved over 3 and 4

Kyo was never really anything special on Team CC.

minor flame Mar 14, 2019, 5:07 PM

#

Who will be the predicted hit cn player

#

That enters owl disregarding age

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

I think if he maintains his performance from OWWC Leave will be the one everyone wants to see.

#

Right now its Guxue.

minor flame Mar 14, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

Think Jiqiren or Krystal will replace top tank and dps in cn

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

Jiqiren, no. Judging from his time on Team CC I don't see him becoming anything more than average.

#

Krystal is a solid projectile but we'd have to see him actually play first.

inland pawn Mar 14, 2019, 5:10 PM

#

Ameng will be the best cn player dont @ me

pearl stratus Mar 14, 2019, 5:11 PM

#

Next year has a lot of people turning 18 though.

#

So we'll get people like Mijia, Kaneki etc becoming eligible.

#

Players like Mg might make a comeback as well.

#

Since MG is now on Guangzhou Academy.

#

GZA and HZA are both pretty stacked with a lot of really good chinese talent.

I wonder if Blizzard is able to make a good off-tank hero, I mean.. I can't think of a real good designed off tank that is usefull. Hammond was for sure designed to be a off-tank but became a main tank

I can still see Hammond as an off tank, he can be both. The buff might make him more main tank tho

Dallis is either gonna 3-1 or 3-2

mint flower Mar 15, 2019, 3:39 AM

even if they 4-0 they're gonna be +5

depends on if dallas performs well this season

#

i dont really get the youre french so you should just go to eternal just because of that

#

unless some dumbass at fuel decides to sell them off to eternal

hidden vault Mar 15, 2019, 5:13 AM

If Unkoe still wants to be with Soon then yeah

#

In season 3 the players now have choice if they want to renew their contract or not

#

I do suspect the Paris might want a french majority

#

Of course it is unlikely they would since Dallas is doing well

queen drift Mar 15, 2019, 5:23 AM

#

There’s 2 rogue core on Paris

#

SoOn and Nico

#

So if AkM and Unkoe go that’s another 2

#

Winzzz and I forget the other one will doubtfully come back to ow

#

Even if they do they’re not owl tier

#

Knoxxxx was the other one

#

Rogue core isn’t very good for ow in its current state or any foreseeable state tho

#

They have no offtank/projectile player

#

Altho they have finnsi and sdb on Paris now

#

But then you have no space for nico

Nico used to play off tank/projectile for rouge

#

Knoxx is currently a coach now

Winz is probably useless, he isn't even pick up by any team

#

Akm is probably an updrage for Soon in terms of Zarya

And probably so is Unkoe for Hyp

We may see Paris pick up another zarya if the meta persists or lucio

But probably not off suppprt

Who is the current brig starter paris? Sdb or Nico?

queen drift Mar 15, 2019, 12:35 PM

Nico

limber pine Mar 15, 2019, 1:05 PM

sdb plays Zarya in the place of soon

pearl stratus Mar 15, 2019, 1:25 PM

#

They're both horrible though.

#

Just stats wise neither of them play a good Zarya.

#

It's Paris' primary problem atm. That and Ben just isn't as good as his hype.

#

Also just as a follow up to an early comment Winz has always been useless.

#

Even when rogue was dominant Winz was useless.

#

It's why his girlfriend made it into OWL before him, and then he quit.

limber pine Mar 15, 2019, 1:32 PM

well we knew paris would go as far as their tank line

pearl stratus Mar 15, 2019, 1:33 PM

I got so much shit for saying I didn't think they had a good one.

Look at me now.

"Benbest was amazing in OWWC, you don't know what you're talking about." They had a US/Canada bracket. Two okay teams then a bunch of nothing. Anyone looks good in that.

yup

#

i would not want to be in charge of that schedule

pearl stratus Mar 15, 2019, 4:45 PM

Yeah or revamping regional division.

#

Because its basically "US teams "Everyone else"

#

Do you send the west coast to Korea?

#

Even though it has the easily accessible Blizzard arena.

limber pine Mar 15, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

I think you'd have to

#

i don't know how you'd play more in your conference than out of it more than it is now

trim shadow Mar 15, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

so the divisions have to be reshaped

#

cause its inconvient to travel from atlanta to go play in seoul

#

los angeles and san fransicso are the closest to china and korea

#

but thats still a good 7-12 hour flight

#

about 15 to get to china

#

and also whos gonna pay for the arenas in each respected city

limber pine Mar 15, 2019, 4:56 PM

what do you mean

#

the teams are responsible for their arenas

#

that's part of "the deal"

trim shadow Mar 15, 2019, 4:57 PM

but yeah like

the companys that own the teams

or private contracting companies

like netease

have you seen how congested shanghai is lmao

dave (@benchmobdc)

The issues facing teams like the Valiant and Mayhem are more complex than replacing a player or two. Neither side saw fit to address team chemistry and culture problems that were apparent in 2018 and they are only now boiling over where others can see.

#

btw.

#

tl;dr: People be racist and mixed teams not working

limber pine Mar 15, 2019, 4:59 PM

#

The valiant did fine with a more mixed roster last year

pearl stratus Mar 15, 2019, 5:00 PM

Yeah second part of the paragraph.

#

It's like Boston.

#

They still did well, but then hit a boiling point it looks like.

trim shadow Mar 15, 2019, 5:00 PM

so what dave is saying

valiant are the new mayhem

pearl stratus Mar 15, 2019, 5:00 PM

No, he's saying Mayhem is still Mayhem.

Because Mayhem has the same issues.

trim shadow Mar 15, 2019, 5:00 PM

cause mayhems last coach would coach em for making to many mistakes

#

wouldnt8

pearl stratus Mar 15, 2019, 5:00 PM

#

Mayhem attempted to go mixed roster because the org picked up a bunch of discount koreans.

#

Then they got their talent scout.

#

And have picked up non-Koreans.

pearl stratus Mar 15, 2019, 5:02 PM

It also follows up the previous issues with Custa vs. Fate, and Moon pushing for a more Korean roster (minus Space).

#

It's not an unfounded thread, at all.

sullen berry Mar 15, 2019, 5:03 PM

#

No, it's pretty good so far

trim shadow Mar 15, 2019, 5:03 PM

i feel like the valiant and mayhem should learn from atlanta and boston

#

and look at how kyb is fitting into guangzhou

pearl stratus Mar 15, 2019, 5:03 PM

Boston sold off all their Koreans but 1.

sullen berry Mar 15, 2019, 5:03 PM

It adds up, but what's the harm except in experience wasted if they have to go all Korean to keep up with OW League competition?

trim shadow Mar 15, 2019, 5:04 PM

kyb is a englishman on a full korean roster

pearl stratus Mar 15, 2019, 5:04 PM

Korean and Chinese.

Technically.

sullen berry Mar 15, 2019, 5:04 PM

Majority Korean roster.

pearl stratus Mar 15, 2019, 5:04 PM

Yeah, no one is saying mixed rosters don't work.

#

They're saying they don't work for LAV/Florida right now.

trim shadow Mar 15, 2019, 5:04 PM

also look at how guxue fits onto hangzhou after nosmite got benched

pearl stratus Mar 15, 2019, 5:04 PM

#

Florida made a mistake in hiring a roster BEFORE hiring their talent scout.

limber pine Mar 15, 2019, 5:05 PM

#

I'd argue both are a coaching thing than a roster thing

sullen berry Mar 15, 2019, 5:05 PM

#

5/6 players onstage will be Korean, so they knew this going into with coaches who can work with international players

pearl stratus Mar 15, 2019, 5:05 PM

#

They signed all their koreans before they signed Bearhands.

limber pine Mar 15, 2019, 5:05 PM

but maybe it's a coaching thing because of the roster

So if you fuck up your visas with over 15 months of prep

sullen berry Mar 15, 2019, 5:08 PM

pearl stratus Mar 15, 2019, 5:08 PM

You should have AT LEAST one visa lawyer on retainer.

#

I'd personally have one on both sides.

#

If I knew I was travelling to china I'd have one there, and one here.

#

If Lateyoung could get his shit approved, everyone else should be okay with proper prep.

#

For people who don't understand - Lateyoung comes from a province in China highly known for illegal immigration and stuff.

#

Which is why he almost missed the OWWC.

Also the US lifted the travel ban on Chad.

So Ameng can travel.
