#

They have four equally good dps.

#

The teams built around situations and strategies of the pools, not a singular person.

#

If Tracer suddenly pops back up, Striker comes in, if she fades out on the next map he comes back out, etc.

#

The really top teams have multiple really good dps that mesh with their team.

#

NYXL has Nenne, Libero and Flower for flex situations. Pine and SBB for specifics. Shock has Rascal and Architect for flex, Sinatraa and Striker for specifics, etc, etc.

#

That trickles down into teams like Chengdu and Shanghai which can play a myriad of stuff because they have equally flexible players able to do crazy stuff. But no one person is the star of them.

vagrant cargo
#

All DPS are Star DPS imo

#

Rascal is super good, architecht is a Monster, Sinatraa and Striker are really good Specialists

pearl stratus
#

Eh, there's a difference between a dps core and a star dps though.

#

Like he mentioned you build around a star dps.

#

And I just don't think thats how OW works anymore.

night tusk
#

idk if someone watched Avast stream after the matches yesterday

#

but Super seems to be sure that Justice would win from Valiant

pearl stratus
#

I could see it honestly.

#

They're both in about the same states of disarray.

#

Washington is mechanical disarray.

#

Valiant is mental disarray.

night tusk
#

he did not want to leak the reason. signing would be weird. Maybe good comp or Shock got rekt in scrims

#

the source was for sure scrims

pearl stratus
#

I mean all that happened on Val was the coach was fired. We saw a lot of trading thoughts, and nothing happened.

#

So you could infer theres unhappy players/players the org is unhappy with that are stuck there still.

night tusk
#

I can see maybe a comp that can Justice found what they are good in. They look alot better when Corey is on Widow/Hanzo/Bastion

pearl stratus
#

Hard to make a roster from unhappy/untrusting people.

night tusk
#

on the way Super mentioned it, it sounded like they showed some good stuff in scrims. nothing about Valiant. But Avast did not go with this in his powerranking

#

but ofc Super do see more

#

idk if there is a clip on reddit

pearl stratus
#

Well no. Super was just hyping up the Sleepy trade.

#

Nothing more than that.

#

Fixing a flex support spot is huge.

night tusk
#

well the matches is today so I don't see last minute announcment right

pearl stratus
#

It's already announced.

night tusk
#

wait

#

Sleepy to Justice ?

pearl stratus
#

Yeah

night tusk
#

lol

pearl stratus
#

C'mon, stop being behind šŸ˜›

night tusk
#

I did not watch reddit yet

#

behind, it is just today zaryalul

Pfft it was at least half an hour ago.

maybe they should put Gido to DPS

pearl stratus
#

They probably will.

#

He used to DPS for Lunatic Hai.

night tusk
#

I remember that it was leaked on Gido signing that he had 2 offers for OWL, not Justice. Still don't rate him as top tier zen

trim shadow
#

SLEEPY TO WASHINGTON!

night tusk
#

and now when they play 3 dps comps you see Gido on Hanzo

trim shadow
#

madness

night tusk
#

no way Sleepy would get any playtime so better for both

pearl stratus
#

Washingtons biggest issue remaining is their main tank is trash, their off-tank is learning, and they don't have a Zarya.

#

Sansam isn't horrible, and he's improving but still a small liability.

#

Janus is a huge liability.

night tusk
#

Their goats = shit, and I am still not sure about their staff

pearl stratus
#

And Coreys Zarya is just dumpster tier.

#

Communication, however, should increase with Ark around.

#

Since Ark is fluent in english.

#

So they have a chance of upping their standings pretty easily.

night tusk
#

I can see Justice go higher in Powerranking if Goats in not meta.. But we did not saw alot from other teams how they would peform with other comps without " trying "

pearl stratus
#

Eh even without goats they'll struggle for a bit

#

Not as bad as with goats though

#

LAV are another interesting case.

#

Because not enough of their parts on their team have changed for the physical play to be this bad.

#

So their fix has little to do with their actual ply, meaning it could come about quicker.

night tusk
#

if Goats was death. could we see London beat NYXL or Titans actually?

echo quest
#

LAV will 4-0

#

Yuh

pearl stratus
#

No to NYXL

#

Since London still only has one dps.

echo quest
#

Bumper is weaker on Winston

#

@pearl stratus ? They have Br and guard

night tusk
#

Profit can't carry 5 players on brig zaryalul

pearl stratus
#

Birdring hasn't looked clean since his wrist injury, and Guard has a relatively smaller pool that he 'excels' at.

echo quest
#

Gesture is on his best hero

pearl stratus
#

Birdrings still good, but pre and post wrist are hugely different.

echo quest
#

Peak London can beat anyone

pearl stratus
#

It's really a shame.

echo quest
#

They dicked everyone in the playoff s

night tusk
#

Aderall London 😮

as a atlanta fan seeing sleepy goto washington hurts

Profit is a little bowl cut monster though.

trim shadow

apperantly daco is toxic

echo quest
#

Fate is perfect

pearl stratus
#

So ask Carpe to find one he likes.

trim shadow
#

its just terrible trying to defend atlanta

stark salmon

VancouverTitans feels like they're unstoppable

#

think seoul has the biggest roster now

night tusk
#

Maybe seoul want to play B team in first map so A team can look from the outside how enemy teams play

pearl stratus
#

They were doing map type teams.

#

Not A or B.

#

Which is an interesting idea if you can make it work.

#

Because it means other teams have to prep for you twice as hard.

night tusk
#

well S1 London..

#

did not really work out

#

even it was kinda different

pearl stratus
#

Very different more than kinda, imo

#

They bought two prepacked teams and smushed em together.

#

Individual pieces are easier to slot.

echo quest
#

LAV did the same

#

Fucked them in stage 2

#

they got rid of it in stage 3

pearl stratus
#

The sister team thing wasn't the same as a map specific team though.

night tusk
#

Verbo Numlocked lol

pearl stratus
#

Because the sister team was never going to play.

#

They were just the scrim team.

#

Seouls has worked when we saw it - like when they played NYXL.

#

They had a roster for control, and they did their job really well despite being what we'd say were the "b" people.

#

But, rumor wise, I think Fleta is in a rut so that strategy went out the window for Fits to play more full time.

echo quest
#

Honestly LAV is done for the season

#

Sell Kariv and Agill

#

Build around Fate, Space and izayaki

pearl stratus
#

Unless the issue was Korean vs mixed.

#

At which point you have to choose if you're going space/custa etc, or Korean.

trim shadow
#

*sell kariv and fate

echo quest
#

@trim shadow ?

#

Why would u sell fate?

pearl stratus
#

Most rumors were around the issues of being a mixed roster.

vagrant cargo
#

It seems Like Valiant gets their shit together

trim shadow
#

a more flexible tank...also cause of his relationship with custa

#

for a*

echo quest
#

@trim shadow he literally plays all the tanks

vagrant cargo
#

Also.i doubt they sell agil

echo quest
#

He’s inconsistent

#

Since immortals

vagrant cargo
#

Hes literally the face of Valiant alongside space and custa

#

Eh

#

He fixed that in Stage 3-4

pearl stratus
#

Right now the entire roster, minus Space, is inconsistent.

#

To be fair.

vagrant cargo
#

Now he is consistently Bad on brig

echo quest
#

Even space has looked shit some games

trim shadow
#

could also say that trading soon was maybe a mistake

vagrant cargo
#

But he looked better in Stage 2 (agil)

trim shadow
#

but then again hes no better at zarya

vagrant cargo
#

Soon was literally

trim shadow
#

soooooooo

vagrant cargo
#

Their worst starter

echo quest
#

@trim shadow he left on his own

trim shadow
#

they had team synergy

pearl stratus
#

The thing is all the conjecture in the world doesn't matter unless we know what the actual issue is on the team.

trim shadow
#

but the team synergy got messed uo

#

also moons questionable choices

pearl stratus
#

Rumors pointed to a korean vs western divide, others to Moons coaching, etc.

vagrant cargo
#

Everyone who thinks soon>ksf especialy in GOATs Meta is disabled

echo quest
#

Soon sucks at zarya

vagrant cargo
#

Also i would wait this Stage

#

I think Valiant is getting their Shit together

trim shadow
#

honestly lav shouldve went to contenders for a zarya

echo quest
#

They are fucked

vagrant cargo
#

Ksf isnt a Bad zarya tho

echo quest
#

For playoffs

trim shadow
#

when you put him against other zaryas in there division

vagrant cargo
#

Nah i can see them sneaking in taking like #12

trim shadow
#

hes below average

vagrant cargo
#

Disagreed again

pearl stratus
#

That'd mean having a nearly perfect rest of the season.

#

Since they're 1-11 right now.

night tusk
#

Charge might be the worst team this stage (based on who plays who)

pearl stratus
#

So with what... 14 more games left?

trim shadow
#

valiant deserves to be doomed they cancelled a trade on fusion and asking

vagrant cargo
#

Nvm then

pearl stratus
#

They play 26 games right? Or was it 28.

vagrant cargo
#

I forgot they already lost 11 games

echo quest
#

I mean it was their loss

pearl stratus
#

Either way, 14 or 16 games left and they're 1-11 right now.

vagrant cargo
#

Its kinda unlucky ngl

#

Cause they are better than this record

echo quest
#

Wait no it was only for fusion

pearl stratus
#

They didn't fix their shit from Season 1.

#

So they're arguably not.

trim shadow
#

valiant was gonna get fusion

#

and there academy dps asking

vagrant cargo
#

They didnt need to fix much tho lol

pearl stratus
#

You can't just leave that stuff to fester.

trim shadow
#

for fate and ksf

pearl stratus
#

Play wise they didn't.

echo quest
#

That would have been the dumbest trade ever for LAV

trim shadow
#

but the day of finalitty valiant backed out and didnt pay boston

pearl stratus
#

Personality wise looks like they needed to fix a LOT of shit.

vagrant cargo
#

Nah If the rumors about Fate are true

trim shadow
#

if it was just for fusion lav was dumb

vagrant cargo
#

It wouldnt be

trim shadow
#

but they were getting a fresh talent in asking

#

sooo

vagrant cargo
#

Also fate is looking super washed rn

#

Especialy on rein

trim shadow
#

huk:well i threw this going away party for fusion andddddd the deal was cancelled

night tusk
#

Fate is Pog but teams not

trim shadow
#

nate should regulate that tbh

pearl stratus
#

He looks like a tank thats disconnected.

#

Any tank without proper support/communication is going to look washed.

#

It's how it goes.

echo quest
#

Not washed he still has those nutty plays but he just looks disjointed from the rest of the team

night tusk
#

Fate in OWWC was Fate with good team

vagrant cargo
#

Yeah but his decision making is Sometimes just awful

pearl stratus
#

Its not always just his decision.

echo quest
#

Or Fate stage 4

vagrant cargo
#

Fate was SKs weakest Player tho lol

trim shadow
#

imagine if Fate and rck ended up together

#

under huk

pearl stratus
#

Tanks make a decision in which they expect team support.

#

If they can't manage it, its not always on them.

vagrant cargo
#

Idk i am talking about weird shatter investions and stuff

pearl stratus
#

So he can either play slow because Agilities is a potato af brig.

vagrant cargo
#

Fate fucked up a lot

pearl stratus
#

Or you try to play it right.

vagrant cargo
#

Yeah agils Brig is pretty Bad ngl

echo quest
#

He saved Finland vs SK himself

vagrant cargo
#

I mean

pearl stratus
#

Having a bad Brig cripples a Rein.

echo quest
#

^

#

Just look at Dallas

#

Today

pearl stratus
#

That lack of armor pack clutch is huge for survivability.

#

They'd actually be better putting Agilities on an Ana, imo.

trim shadow
#

agil is a better brig then zach so

pearl stratus
#

Like Shock did with Rascal some.

vagrant cargo
#

Idk abt that one rusha

#

Agil is alongside SDB my fav player

#

But his Brig Looks really really bad

pearl stratus
#

They're both shit at Brig.

#

And both of them don't have an excuse for it.

#

Because we saw both shit brigs in OWWC.

trim shadow
#

zach set a bar for shit tier of brigs

vagrant cargo
#

They are just Trash at her

pearl stratus
#

And any coach worth a damn would have fixed it

echo quest
#

Build around Fate and Space and izayaki

#

The three best players

pearl stratus
#

That only works if the Koreans aren't the problem.

#

You can't ignore that point.

vagrant cargo
#

They tried to build around Fate in Stage 1

trim shadow
#

space izayaki and custa*

vagrant cargo
#

Worked super well

#

Also agil is probably still a great Projectile DPS

#

I would keep him as well

pearl stratus
#

If Fate, for instance, is pulling a Fissure and is really frustrated with a mixed roster building around him doesn't work.

vagrant cargo
#

I mean Fate was the reason for kuki mainsup

vale pond
#

imagine having issues with a mixed roster

#

because you’re whiny

vagrant cargo
#

Cause He and custa disagreed

vale pond
#

Cough daco cough

vagrant cargo
#

About how GOATs gets played

pearl stratus
#

Nothing confirmed Kuki main support is because of Fate.

@vale pond where are you getting this?

The Halo article.

pearl stratus

Makes No sense

trim shadow

some atlanta mod said it should be taken with a grain of salt

meaning that it has some truth in it

still

It's Halo.

If you read Halo and believe it I have a unicorn to sell you.

No, an accurate insult.

pearl stratus

All they need to do is win one of them.

echo quest

Map*

pearl stratus

And they can take a map off Hangzhou.

#

Maybe not the series

echo quest
#

Idk

pearl stratus
#

But they just need that one map.

echo quest
#

Bout that

pearl stratus
#

If they play Krystal they'll have a decent shot on Control, imo.

trim shadow
#

espect the mueller report took 2 years of playing with dicks and keeping white demos happy till it was time to say its all a bust

queen drift
#

i wouldnt be surprised if they get 4-0'd

#

why do you talk like this stop

pearl stratus
#

I wouldn't either, since its GZC.

vale pond
#

What I believe is that though this did start with the shitty flex support situation he got out of control

pearl stratus
#

But control with Krystal is their best shot.

vale pond
#

And needs to calm down

trim shadow
#

probably why dafran really jumped ship

vale pond
#

Dafran jumped ship for many reasons

#

This might have sped it up

echo quest
#

They got 4-0 by Paris

vale pond
#

but I doubt it was the main cause

echo quest
#

Dafran probably missed streaming

vale pond
#

that too

#

pro life wasnt for him

queen drift
#

he's also just not wanted to be pro three times now

pearl stratus
#

It was probably too much work. Not even in a mean way

vale pond
#

Like yeah

trim shadow
#

litterally most of dafrans career is i want to be a pro

#

and he got his shot

vagrant cargo
#

Paris isnt a Bad Team brokeboi

pearl stratus
#

But he strikes me as someone who wanted to give it a fair shot, and just didn't want to invest that much mentally and physically anymore.

echo quest
#

He makes more streaming anyway

vale pond
#

he made 300k on atlanta

#

With all expenses paid

vagrant cargo
#

Who told.u that

vale pond
#

So idts

vagrant cargo
#

That He gets a salary of 300k

trim shadow
#

dafran is not worth that much

#

yes hes a tracking god

queen drift
#

for his brand? he is

trim shadow
#

but come on

queen drift
#

same as seagull

vagrant cargo
#

Dafran is not 300k Wƶrth

vale pond
#

P sure I read his salary was that high bc brand

vagrant cargo
#

Worth

pearl stratus
#

Yeah for raw revenue intake on jerseys etc etc.

queen drift
#

^^

trim shadow
#

at most

pearl stratus
#

I doubt it was 300k, but I could easily see 150k-200k range with no hesistation.

vagrant cargo
#

Yeah

trim shadow
#

you can throw out 100k for dafran

vagrant cargo
#

Thats tje max

vale pond
#

no max

pearl stratus
#

Return on investment is gauranteed with him, basically.

vale pond
#

50k minimum

echo quest
#

I mean sinatraa in s1 earned 150k and Carpe was 180k

vagrant cargo
#

Without the Brand He would be barely 100k at best tbh

queen drift
#

without the brand he likely wouldnt be in owl

#

at all

pearl stratus
#

Yeah but you're buying a brand.

vagrant cargo
#

Carpe was unproven for most of the people pre OWL season 1

vale pond
#

like yeah but his brand makes a difference

pearl stratus
#

And yeah, without the brand he doesn't have the pool to be looked at, honestly.

#

Especially not in this meta.

trim shadow
#

decay is the actuall 300k

echo quest
#

@queen drift dafran is easily owl level cmon now

vagrant cargo
#

Not many people had Carpe on the Radar

pearl stratus
#

He has a hero or two that is.

#

He has a LOT that aren't.

queen drift
#

He's OWL level tracer/soldier

pearl stratus
#

Thats not what teams go for currently.

vale pond
#

he has an average hitscan pool

queen drift
#

soldier is dead

vagrant cargo
#

Dafran was league average zarya

#

Not bad Not good

trim shadow
#

in kills*

queen drift
#

and his tracer isnt good enough to be a owl tracer otp

trim shadow
#

and final blows

vale pond
#

his tracer is good enough wym lol

vagrant cargo
#

His Tracer is a pretty good Western Tracer tho

pearl stratus
#

I think its fair to say though without his brand it wouldn't have been something to really look twice at though.

trim shadow
#

even i can admit he didnt have good energy usage

#

him and 37 are in the same boat

pearl stratus
#

@vale pond OTP, is the key part of that.

trim shadow
#

espect 37 might become a coach

queen drift
#

"a pretty good western tracer" doesnt really mean anything

vagrant cargo
#

He is a decent hitscan Overall

queen drift
#

not really

#

have you seen him mccree

#

or widow

vagrant cargo
#

Yes really

vale pond
#

yes

echo quest
#

Nah he just yeets the gravs

vagrant cargo

I even played against His cree

ya his mccree is boosted i have too

Don't bring ladder into it though.

zzz

vagrant cargo
#

I Just think He is a League average DPS

vale pond
#

Rumors, leaks, and vids of ppl playing

vagrant cargo
#

What

pearl stratus
#

A league average western dps isn't picked up though, unless you were picked up in S1 and carried over.

vagrant cargo
#

I didnt hear any runor Abt that

pearl stratus
#

So I think Fox is fair in saying he wouldn't be in OWL without his brand.

vagrant cargo
#

I mean Nico?

vale pond
#

I have and many

vagrant cargo
#

Who

#

I also never saw any leaks about that

A leaked scrim with xl was floating around a while back

vagrant cargo

Gido is meh

gido trans

vagrant cargo
#

Sleepy is a massive upgrade

queen drift
#

yeah, hes meh, on a meh team

analog lark
#

I didn't say they were good, I said they were improving

queen drift
#

im not arguing sleepy is a massive upgrade

analog lark
#

they were absolute shit

vale pond
#

dogmans shit transes are referred to as ā€œgido transesā€ for a reason

queen drift
#

im saying i dont think zen was their priority

analog lark
#

so improvement ain't hartd

queen drift
#

shouldnt have been

pearl stratus
#

Priority currently should have been Zarya -> Main Tank -> Upgrades.

#

Imo.

queen drift
#

who's their zarya

#

corey?

pearl stratus
#

Corey.

vale pond
#

Ye

pearl stratus
#

And its oof squared.

analog lark
#

Corey's widow is aight

pearl stratus
#

His Widow is fantastic, though.

analog lark
#

but his zarya

vale pond
#

Corey is good on whatever is NOT zarya

pearl stratus
#

But his Zarya... how can I say this nicely.

trim shadow
#

washington in a dps meta is actually pretty decent

vale pond
#

just dont play goats and its fine

pearl stratus
#

Corey Zarya makes Paris Zaryas look great.

queen drift
#

i mean, no, they're not

#

they're still bad

#

just not as bad

vagrant cargo
#

In comparison

#

They are good

trim shadow
#

washington i think its time todoa chengdu

analog lark
#

worst zarya in the league?

trim shadow
#

cough

queen drift
#

sbb

vale pond
#

Yeah probably

#

vagrant cargo
#

Im37

vale pond
#

Sbb doesnt even play

trim shadow
#

Kariv

pearl stratus
#

I think in raw stats Sayaplaya.

#

Was actually the worst Zarya in the league

analog lark
#

wasn't saya a brig?

trim shadow
#

37 just has bad energy usage

pearl stratus
#

He's Brig now.

vale pond
#

corey’s gravs are quite sad

trim shadow
#

him and corey are the same

pearl stratus
#

They started him on an attempt for Zarya.

vagrant cargo
#

Soon is also a strong Contender

pearl stratus
#

Since typically its a hitscan role.

queen drift
#

saya is really weird

vagrant cargo
#

But he looks improved so far

queen drift
#

his tracer is... trash

#

his zarya is trash

trim shadow
#

saya with them koolaid lips

pearl stratus
#

He's a flick hitscan.

queen drift
#

his widow / cree are godlike

vale pond
#

At least the shit gravers like dafran and babybay built them fast

pearl stratus
#

Not a tracking hitscan

trim shadow
#

saya was signed for his widow player

#

cause uk

#

at one point he was a top 5 global widow

pearl stratus
#

So he's got this small pool that can't translate any of its skills around.

analog lark
#

florida makes no sense

trim shadow
#

saya and pine are the same

#

hitscan gods

#

SHIT AT EVERYTHING ELSE

queen drift
#

not hitscan gods

vagrant cargo
#

Pine is overrated tho

queen drift
#

overall they're pretty bad hitscans

#

they're just good at cree/widow

pearl stratus
#

Pine can at least play other things. Not to an OWL level, by any means.

trim shadow
#

slams head on desk

pearl stratus
#

But Saya like... really is just stuck on the two heroes.

analog lark
#

"I'm gonna make a korean team"
makes korean team out of dropped players from other teams that were even that good

#

xepher

#

I don't understand

queen drift
#

isnt pine technically still "flex" for nyxl?

trim shadow
#

has a off tank play main tank

queen drift
#

or did they update that after jjonak got in

pearl stratus
#

They updated it after Jjonak.

vale pond
#

oof

pearl stratus
#

He hasn't touched support since.

queen drift
#

ye i know he hasnt

vale pond
#

Who makes the most in the league?

pearl stratus
#

Unknown.

analog lark
#

Decay

queen drift
#

bonus included?

vale pond
#

decay?

analog lark
#

It's probably decay

pearl stratus
#

We only know salaries for two people.

analog lark
#

he makes 300K

vale pond
#

how much

pearl stratus
#

And?

queen drift
#

150k btw hehexd

analog lark
#

I think

vale pond
#

oof

pearl stratus
#

300k could be nothing to another team, you never know.

queen drift
#

if we're including bonuses, i would say one of the GC Busan bois

analog lark
#

shanghai and LAG went on a huge bidding war on him

trim shadow
#

300k to cloud 9 or nyxls org is nothing

#

thats a snickers bar

queen drift
#

Profit or Gesture including bonuses ^^

pearl stratus
#

Cloud9 and NYXL are poor compared to most of the league.

#

So.

vale pond
#

they’re poor?

vagrant cargo
#

I think the Most underpaid Player rn is someone like eqo

pearl stratus
#

Compared to many teams, yes.

trim shadow
#

well theres netease

vale pond
#

Have you seen washington?

queen drift
#

i doubt eqo is underpaid

trim shadow
#

theres a chineese streaming company

vagrant cargo
#

And the Most overpaid someone like soon

#

Eqo was a Nobody fox

queen drift
#

i am aware

vagrant cargo
#

Dont forget that

pearl stratus
#

I think we literally know no salaries.

trim shadow
#

misfits is the poorest org in the leauge

#

dont @ me

pearl stratus
#

So this is the dumbest conversation ever.

queen drift
#

they're not poor

analog lark
#

most underpaid team is probably boston

queen drift
#

just shit

vagrant cargo
#

Philly was the only Team to give him trials

pearl stratus
#

Also just to be fair.

vale pond
#

Who does misfits own?

trim shadow
#

misfits is shit in every esports they touch

pearl stratus
#

If you sign the contract you're not underpaid

queen drift
#

there's a difference between cheap and poor

vagrant cargo
#

And they got thenbest Western DPS for season 1

pearl stratus
#

You're being paid exactly what you're worth.

vagrant cargo
#

Massive value

pearl stratus
#

Because you signed the contract.

trim shadow
#

@vale pond f l o r i d a

vale pond
#

oh lol

#

Makes sense

pearl stratus
#

That's how economics worth. If you were worth more, you'd have a contract for more šŸ˜›

vale pond
#

literally florida man the team

trim shadow
#

misfits has almost no world titles to there name

vagrant cargo
#

Also carpe is underpaid at 180k imo

#

If the rumors are true

vale pond
#

oof

queen drift
#

? misfits was good in early ow

vagrant cargo
#

About 180k

trim shadow
#

did misfits win apex?

queen drift
#

misfits are european

pearl stratus
#

Eh this season he should give about 130k of that back.

vagrant cargo
#

No

Misfits won apac

Also carpes zarya isnt that Bad

Its decent imo

30 NA players

So it'd be 30-30.
