Your playoff money, hand it over
I wonder if illicit is gonna stay
Hot take, but my dps line would be Fleta, Ans, Edison, and Haksal
Tanks I agree with
Working on support
I always forget which supports are main and which are off, so that is the main issue
Erster*
Most ideal possible team
ah
He'll probably stay right, as back up probably
4 dps, 4 support, 4 tanks
Heck, base it off of past versions or players that don’t play anymore
id probs take Profit/Haksal/Saya/Xzi
Season 1 jjonak
the chad himself
This is the most ideal 4 of all roles
Go nuts, I just think Erster is still a god
And haksal
But flex gods work too
if you have 4 spots then you can specialize more in DPS roles
so have a HS hitscan and a tracking one
A highly aggressive projectile and a defensive one
Flexibility
And fits is a beast
So it isnt that much of a loss in terms of the widow
I still can't believe fits lost on round one of the widow 1v1 against glister
This team was made on the 29th
and it's already gone
they went to contenders trials
lost
and everyone ditched
like someone said widow 1v1s aren't that important
but they also kinda are
well they're not
but they're something
ksp losing is like hmm
SAYA'S GONE
NOOOOOO

Don’t be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.”
Thank you, Saya, for bringing out the best in us. #LightItUp https://t.co/qesES7RAvb

O
ha I beat you
NOO
pepehands
hopefully whatever health issues he had are resolved
Who gets signed first pine or saya
Saya
idk
See
Im not sure if either of them will play Tier 1 OW again
Seen as hitscan is as stacked as it is
I don't doubt big boss pine can fuck
his brig was good tho
He was good
maybe they're getting Unique
there is no one quite like him
Unique is a top support contenders player IIRC
If you were to compare him to someone in OWL
Who would you compare him to
Myungbong?
Well not myungbong
He's a FS
Hmm
Ig mayhem need an upgrade there
Im so hyped for mayhem next year
oh I have no clue
excited to see next season mayhem but im also sad
saya is my fav owl player
like since it started
Not gonna lie
But Including Asian Contenders in Asian Region
That's fucking lit
Runaway is one of them
But tournaments, so it's ok
But imagine
in korea
with boston
Boston gonna do a good offer with him and the new korean coach
no fuck boston
I watched some sayaplayer highlights
We should not forget that Korean coaches have a different philosophy with the game
They provide more than Western coaches can
fuck boston all my homies hate boston
he got injured
he really got screwed then
his season 1 team looks so mediocre and forgetable
like 90% of the guys who were on his team either left or were meh at their role
saya was the only reason why mayhem was like even slightly relevant
I think they meant s1
and the less said about gangnamjin and fate the better
don't go back on it now
you were wrong, no matter what you meant
clarification means nothing in the face of righteous anger
I know that, that was why I was being sarcastic when you clarified
I was trying to make up for Adriel not being here
text bel ike
fair enough
I thought he played a little Roadhog too
so are they ditching everyone except gargoyle yaki bqb
and gangnamjin
well 2 bench players and Kris
Jesus
florida getting a remake
i wonder if saya stays at owl or swaps to like valorant
I checked his stream
I think
he didn't stream valorant I believe
Hello I am Sayaplayer.
I had a good memory and received unlimited support from Mayhem for 3 years. I appreciate what they have done for me!
I have experienced a lot with the team and it will guide me to a better direction in my life and gives me an energy.
I have been with
608
Florida Mayhem for 3 years and I have been very proud and happy. I wish Florida Mayhem will become successful team.
I will think and summarize my thoughts and will post later.
413
stay pls
Mayhem just decided to drop everything today
So I guess Kris leaving means Mayhem is going with GNJ and Byrem as the support duo?
Or could they be picking up someone?
wtf
FUCK
They dropped byrem
Mayhem going budget route
@valid oxide
I JINXED IT
I didn't see it
the better players
https://mobile.twitter.com/hystericrain/status/1310855805713829888
dude
why did I think that choi post was gonna be an announcement
lmfao
got jebaited
is the florida purge over yet?
I think anybody else would be a surprise
well, more of a surprise
@next mesa don't believe everything
justice fucking jebaited us dude
Yes but no
it's more that they want to hype us
decay is in a spotlight
recently he got his twitter account active, had justice background and his justice profile picture

publicity
Yeah
Ah
so if fusion is against a bad team
Hes been played once
just play chipsa and atleast get some publicity
Wtf is Florida doing. If they drop gangnamjin they need a mental hospital
these drops make sense
100% not dropping gangnamjin
anything else would be questionable
See
I think kris is still somewhat valuable
But if they have eyes on someone
Thats star talent
As long as they dont drop gargoyle
Florida can drop these players now, they've proven their org isn't a total dumpster fire now and will likely attract better Korean talent
Keep the good players, BQB, Yaki, Fate etc. Drop the dead weight
Who's the dead weight?
Kris, Saya, Byrem, Karayan
Saya/Karayan weren't ever going to see play time again, and Kris/Byrem were rotated with neither looking good
Hmm
super ego
is beyond the roof
they need a whole toher house
tocontain it
im new here hi
привет

welcome
When is season 4 coming out
nah still good, better vibes with the crowd though
I feel like next year is just gonna be half online
Half LAN
Thats if cases start getting better
Which they probably wont
Next year currently scheduled ot start April. Rumours of them proposing to delay it though
Current reports say still 2 regions, NA and Apac, with Spitfire/NYXL to move back to NA region
Sounds about right
Rumours on it suggest a mid season tourney that is cross regions, and then other tournaments in between. APAC tournaments to be boosted by Korea/Chinese Contenders teams to counter the # of team difference
How many teams are apac region
Of course there are t2 teams in korea and china
Currently 7, but if NXYL/Spitfire move back, then only 5
Apac needs more teams then. cough Sydney and tokyo
Can't just add teams though unless you have a bunch of orgs willing to throw $40mil at OWL
dafran is playing off stream, locking the legs
there's a lack of apac teams ye
Spark, charge, dragons, dynasty, whats the 5th one
hunters
Oh yea, I forgot about them lol
Everyone forgets about Chengdu
My contract is not going to be renewed for next year so I am officially a free agent. I am excited (and a bit scared) to see what’s next and am open to speaking with all other teams.
You can message me LiNkzr#9885 or email my agent at linkzr@evolved.gg
p.s no twitlonger ye...
London Linkzr
That sounds so cool for some reason
As of this year my contract with Outlaws is now over so I am looking for a new team for the 2021 season
I'm still ready to give Overwatch my everything
DMs are open or you can discord me at Muma#5300
1116
Welp time for houstans purge ig
I bet danteh is gonna leave next
Linkzr not getting resigned?
bruh
muma was obvious
if anything, he will drop to contenders
but with how NA contenders is
I doubt he'll resurface
Somebody commented "god I hate muma" and it has more likes then comments?
ik he isn't good but bruh
Everyone is leaving 
I think most of these players who are mechanically washed should try coaching
why would London want him? dude is so inconsistent
Hasnt he been much more consistent over the latter half of the season
he was a fair bit more, but it wasn't like he was consistently at his high end, you know?
like, his high end is legitimately able to beat the best widows, so if he was able to do that consistently, he would be a hot commodity
but he just has flashes of that, and is mostly mediocre
though if you had a team with no Widow or Ashe, I would say he would be good enough to fit the bill with no other better options
he is like a budget version of a good hitscan
In defense you could point to his inconsistencies to his team
His team was always pretty mediocre if not just straight bad
I would be curious to see if he was surrounded by better players if he would stay inconsistent or stick to a side
sure, his team was bad, but really good players still tend to shine on bad teams historically
myungbong, for instance
decay on dallas
he maybe could get better with the right coaching, but he just seems to boom easily
That is true but every player is different
And why do i feel like its going to be huge
And also constantly being on a dogshit team has gotta be mentally rough
Like how they lost what was it? 4 or so games at the last fight of koth 1-1
Did Houston literally drop everyone lol?
There twitter doesn't even bother to name players they want to thank
https://twitter.com/blaseOW/status/1316520169716494337 Another one bites the dust
My contract with outlaws wont be re-nenwed(at this time)
and ive been given permission to explore all offers.
msg me on discord: blasé#0620 or email my agent at blase@evolved.gg
his cree was cracked
Blase Muma and Linkzr all posted LFT
Signing will take a while
teams need time to scout and finalize contracts with players they want to keep and what not
Danteh just posted "Uhhhh"
heh fair
is that a joke?
New game, new name, new beginnings.
Welcome Spyder @minon501 to T1 @playVALORANT! https://t.co/rid12UUNLT
Corey
Here I thought Riot is sucking the OW esports dry, but it's actually Blizz's doing
Maybe
Though Saya vs Corey is a toss up
oh no
Grike doesn't know 
No, Corey is ASS at valorant
I thought he was entry fragger for Faze?
He can’t be that bad, he has good aim
The other stuff is not that hard to learn
his name is "Spyder" now
not saya
can saya speak english?
he is with 4 other NA and a NA coach
season is 2 months shorter?
Shame
We're problably going to have valorant replacing overwatch
and its so slow
Houston let Dream go as well, they're clearing house
They need more matches
because imagine scrimming 7 hours a day for a whole week just to play 1 match and get swept
Mayhem in the comments
"Take good care of him"

Sadge
You know what
Imma watch some valorant if it means i can watch saya again
Spyder is a cooler name tho ngl
Reminds me of widowmaker
Valorant can't really replace ow
Maybe he took inspiration from widow
They are wildly different games
OW and OWL can only die from themselves imo
Thats the reason why i dont think it'll die out for some time
OWL maybe
A year
2 at best
OW 2 is the last chance we have
At making OWL feel fresh again
And reinvigorate the community
Time will tell what devs plan to do with OW 1
hopefully they add a bunch of pogchamp characters
and then the game will be like holy shit
popping off
5 broken heroes released at once 😤😤😤
Are based off of the OW2 default skins
And get an update
Like
Imagine OW2 default tracer skin
Used for an OWL skin
Instead of the OW1 default skins
that would be pog, but also not really because like then we probably won't get to see a lot of the heroes anymore
maybe like 3-4 on release
and a lot more to come
If they had 30 heroes ready to release (which they wouldn't) they'd space em out over the next five years
true
they really need to release more heroes though
like this space
pace
it ain't gonna cut it
we'll have to see
They probably will be
As much as we bash OW devs sometimes they made an incredible game with incrediblely well designed heroes
Other than brig
That one was a mistake
But even then brig is a likable and loveable character for as much as a soldier or D. VA
Which is amazing as it is marketable
Also
Going to speculations on season 4 format
Mideason tournament seems to be much needed
I'm more amused at the thought of Team CC, Runaway or even O2B taking out an OWL Trophy and not have to bear the same costs to buy into the league to play against the top on their region
If that happened
Then academy teams might have been a good long term investment after all
gauntlet
gauntlet gives them a chance
instead of having to buy in, they should take one best t2 team each year and just give them the funds
ngl
Since we have to cross that one off for 2020
that's unreasonable though
I hope they bring back the regional gauntlet
Imagine Florida mayhem of 2019 vs EM of 2019
CC vs Dragons 
Diya be like, which team do I play for
lmaoooo
Diya would hypothetically have to destroy his own team
kinda weird
Wild card picks his team and manages to score enough clout as the only NA Player in OWL
Or Nero has a new friend during season 4 to vibe with in China
Unlikely sure, but nero leaving the Charge is still 50/50
Diya could destroy either team to be fair
not just him but team CC in general
if charge is gonna blow up their team for chinese players then team cc is a good start
Houston should dip into CC
yeah Happy isn't the same as he was
no im saying like chinese wise
Saya to valaront? Damb, I might watch too just to see him
My contract with the Outlaws not being renewed and I'm looking for a team to join in the 2021 season.
DM is open
email - ssl6693@gmail.com
:<
Outlaws really self destructing
Lets see if danteh will be LFT as well
thats their fault for having a shit system for the players
u knew it was bad when their best option for MT was a flex dps
Welp
Houstan is done for
Unless they literally go ahead and sign SFS
Why the fuck
Would you drop jecse
im gonna be laughing so hard if boink is still in the roster
These dudes either have a genius plan
Like
Incredibly genius
Or
Its just them imploding
And everyone jumping ship
BOINK STILL ISN'T DROPPED PEPELAUGH
Dude
Someone has to check on boink
Im not sure that dude even knows hes still on outlaws
Releasing jecse is so braindead oml
Isn’t dream gone too
ye
Houstan gotta sort themselves out dude
Why does jecse think he will go back to owl lmao
well he has a chance
Boston Jecse
Did you all see the in nternet team Shock scrimmed against?
Hm?
Architect/Xzi/Hanbin/Smurf/Twilight
Cool ig
Man that would be so sick as like a showmatch
Sayaplayer
Joined T1’s
Valorant team
Goddamn
Was not expecting that
The NA team too
damnz
Each day a new team had its releases and FA
Let's see which one we will have today
Also, Justice is baiting us >:(
Also, Houston might become a good team next year?
Muma finally gone, Hydration needs to go too
Real MT
Fissure to Outlaws?
New game, new name, new beginnings.

Spyder is saya
Is saya the first Korean owl player to got to valorant ?
Wow Houston what is you doin
@wanton birch no
First korean player on a NA team
Munchkin and bazee
Were the first owl koreans to leave for valorant
Have any of the OW players that have gone to valorant increase their popularity?
Ik Sinatraa has
By a shit ton
His YT gained 50k subs in two months
Plus he gets a crazy amount of people checking his vods
little update: hit my right eye rly hard with a resistance band and had to go to the ER because I went fully blind for like 3 hrs, got lucky and only a lot of scratches, bruising/blood on my retina and they said I would most likely recover in a week or 2 so no streams boys
6159
:(
Xzi removed Paris from his bio
who is this beside saya?
One of the team staff / employees?
@hidden vault do not start simpin man, not worth it

simpin?
👀
Isn't pine rejoining owl
He's lft owl/contenders
Just a waiting game to see who picks him up, I'm sure it'll happen
hey guys
Yo
its happened :( @vagrant jacinth

No
@edgy tinsel experiencing heartbreak all over again pepehands
Glister and bernar staying??
Holy fuck
I can't believe it
I mean i can
but still
this london team was pretty fire
Interesting they kept some. Rumour was it that they were ditching all the Korean players to go Western roster
glister bernar fuze jmac sanguinar
I suspect it's just those players that teams have interest in and they can recoup some money on
Give me Glister and Bernar to NYXL
glister bernar fuze jmac sanguinar
@weak bolt so they kept the good ones that they can trade
Outlaws probably go mixed roster + Danteh
Boink will be a coach probably, I suspect he's decent at it, and cheap

Also Xzi isn’t on Paris anymore
Nothing official yet
is glister still there?
interesting
They're going to build around glister
They aren’t there for sure but they will be made for money at least
outlaws would be dumb to dump danteh
Imagine if London picked up BH and kept Glister
the only like top tier player on their team
There are strong rumours London are going for a western roster, so I suspect they'll sell Glister etc.
or Trade
Yeah, Sell/Trade, whichever
Like you trade Glister for Gator/Hawk, or Sanguinar for Dogman etc.
Bernar Fuze Jmac and Sanguinar would be good players to trade or keep as well
I’m fairly certain that when people say they are going western it’s not NA players but EU players
Probably, but got to consider visa & covid when doing that. Could get a mix.
If you look closely with your eyeballs all the players not released have the highest potential sell values to other teams https://t.co/JLOS0QUaTZ
282
Avast said it well
Those players kept are likely the ones other teams already asked about. They don't have long to hold them though before they become free agents automatically I think
Jmac would likely be an upgrade over Roar
I guess
Is jmac aggro enough to play with decay
London only have till 23rd October to either re-sign those players, or they become free agents. So we may find out quite quick
dude
slime to justice
im telling you
match made in heaven
slime is really aggressive too
dafran was streaming?
He was streaming this morning, and playing off stream last night
London is so stupid
They should of kept glister bernar and sanguinar to Atleast trade
With the lack of good main tanks floating around, trading glister and sanguinar or something for a solid main tank would of been so useful
But tossing glister out without gaining anything is stupid
Keepign Korean players doesn't work if your Org wants to form a western roster though
^^
Those 5 will be sold/traded to fund next season most likely
All 3 you mentioned are still here to potentially be traded
Okokok I just heard released and came to rant
Just getting rid of ur roster is stupid IMO
I should've expected it to be London to announce their purge today haha
Going to be a lot of announcements today
"Oct. 16, 2020: Deadline by which teams must exercise any options to extend existing contracts which were initially executed in 2020."
yup
"Oct. 23, 2020: PSAs signed using the 2020 PSA template that are not extended terminate and such Players become free agents. Players who are signed using the 2020 PSA template whose contracts extend into the 2021 Season begin receiving Base Salary at the 2021 Season rate.
Oct. 24, 2020: Teams may begin signing free agents to contracts for the 2021 Season."
Ye
Any changes with Shanghai yet?
Any of the Pre-2020 contracted players have until Nov 13th before they become FA though
I feel like if Shanghai was gonna make any change it would be Izayaki?
Shanghai are unlikely to release anybody other than maybe Geguri, Dding, Diya and maybe Luffy
Oh yeah
I don’t even count them tbf
I meant like main roster
I feel like dding might be kept
Shanghai are gonna mostly go unchanged main roster wise
Yeah

r/Overwatch 2021 Rosterpocalypse Megathread: https://redd.it/jbnajq
Literally no reason to keep Dding when you have Fleta
Yeah but if fleta gets ill or needs a break
He’s a good backup
Whole point of subs
Fleta can play hitscan and projectile
dding is just projectile
with more heroescoming in ow2
idk
I think it's a good idea to keep dding
Ehh I think he’s gokd
I think you sell him and pick up a potential new talent from T2 scene
better than luffy anyway
Izyaki isn't going anywhere
Not as good as some others
They'd rather sell Luffy and bring in someone else, and have both Izyaki + new player
Yeah
I just think if anyone on the main Shanghai roster is being changed it’s Izayaki
Out of the main 6/7
and which flex support do you pick up who beats Izyaki? Not like there is a bunch of top talent available
you can't even say myunbong is better
I don’t really watch contenders but who else would you change on Shanghai if anything
Also for fans
Has Chengdu made any adjustments
Chengdu my favourite team purely coz of S2
let void rest
If Shanghai could get MCD Unique or both that’s ideal
dafran's soldier is nasty
Also could probably drop Dding at this point to get a good second flex dps
The issue with Shanghai is they field one roster and look amazing but their B team is significantly worse
Rip London
There's going to be new heroes
I’m Suprised LIP wasn’t MVP
you take anyone and their hero pool is obsolete
He was MVP for me Atleast
in front of fleta
like your argument is flawed
you cant just
let fleta play everything
So why do they have a spot for Dding
literally burnout
They do not play Dding ever
that's like asking why do you have ta1yo
Yeah super MVP
on shock
Dding would only be useful if you expect burnout from Fleta. I think you'd rather use the spot for an upcoming T2 talent who has potential to be better than Fleta
Well, why do Shock have Ta1yo
They have Ta1yo because he actually has potential
Dding has potential a year ago
It’s all gone
how do you know
You can't really say Dding is there for the future, because it's obvious Fleta is better
dding actually showed potential on stage
You know who showed results though
Fleta
Dding just showed some potential
And then we never saw him again
He’s just a spot on the team that could be someone else
You likely sell Dding to an NA team like Houston, and then sign a cheaper talent with future potential to match Fleta
They finally did it
Error summarizes what I’m trying to say
yeah and why risk when you have dding
For Shanghai, dding isn’t what they need
Wait
Sign some new talent
The odds of the new talent being a complete bust is way more than the odds of the talent surpassing fleta
Babel would've been decent too
@hot heart they aren’t keeping anyone
Because keeping Dding doesn't give any long time rewards. Signing a talent can be a bust, or can find you gold dust
They just kept the players they can sell
They can keep dding for the future you can't just ask fleta to pick up every single new hero
Well fuck
Except why would you keep Dding, he’s already shown that he doesn’t even get the new heroes
When you have Fleta already, you can afford to take a risk on a new rookie, rather than bench someone who you know their capabilities already and will never start
I was actually excited for london next year
He hasn't been given the chance
How do you know he wasn’t given a chance
You could build around Glister bernar and Babel
Do you know what scrims are for
Dding will have had his chance. If Diem can get back into the team, Dding could have if he was good enough
Thats whole point in Scrims
You play whichever players give you the best results in scrims
Or the players that actually show up to scrims
Levy, if it’s news to you that players don’t show up to scrims then oh boy
So Dding is forever a backup player. Why keep him? You could get a new player with the potential to be a starter, who also fits the backup role anyway
This is my exact point
That’s what we said about LIP and Diem
a new player coming up could have the potential to play over Fleta yes
Dding does not have the potential to play over fleta
Dding can have in new heroes
That's like the same potential
we all knew diem had the better widow though
There was a brand new flex hero this year and that wasn’t played by Dding
yeah because fleta is there
So that’s the potential you thought he had
There was what, 5 new heroes rumoured for OW2? Assuming at least 1 is tank, 1 support, and 1 hitscan, that leaves max 2 heroes for Dding to learn better than Fleta
Or you could just get a better flex dps than dding who could actually play certain heroes better than fleta
pelican
who is that
Have you watched this guy play?
nop
Wait you didn’t even know who they were
yes
Okay
He plays certain heroes better than fleta
And that’s why he’s better than adding
DDING
He might not be right now, but does he have the potential to be better than Fleta? S4 is like 6 months away still.
you dont know
Dding is unlikely to improve beyond fleta if he hasn't done already
That too
yeah you dont know
Does Dding have a gun against your head or something
not really
Or are you just blind to the fact that Dding isn’t the same as last year
I just see no point in dropping dding
They don't get worse
other people just get better
Here’s why you drop Dding
You drop him to have upcoming talent to make the roster better long term
THERES OTHER FLEX DPS THAT ARE BETTER THAN HIM
You dont keep a player because they are ok if you want to win championships, you continually improve
alright
