plush grail
#

that's a mixed roster which is actually good

weak bolt
#

Danteh is probably on a low wage contract as he was signed like mid season in S2

next mesa
#

idk

#

no reason to sign mek0

#

fury kinda cracked

plush grail
#

it just annoys me

#

when meko was a tank duo with mano

#

he FUCKED

#

he's just wasting his potential

next mesa
#

mano probably has a mek0 pillow

#

misses him everyday

#

he's not clicking with hotba

plush grail
#

yeah

#

if you kinda follow the nyxl social media

weak bolt
#

Mano is fucked because of the nyxl policy of give Jjonak all the resources

plush grail
#

it's easy to see who they're still promoting

#

and who's geting dropped

next mesa
#

drop whoru already

#

let whoru and jehong team up again

#

redemption arc

weak bolt
#

NYXL are in a weird spot, they have some promising talent, and some semi washed talent who are fan favourites. Who do they focus on

plush grail
#

please dont tell me you think sbb is washed

next mesa
#

not washed

#

no one is washed

#

just that

#

people got better

forest raven
#

NY been mediocre since season 2

weak bolt
#

He's not garbage tier, but they aren't going to win OWL with him

next mesa
#

you mean just s3

#

has been a bad season for nyxl

#

because ny was an elite team in s2

#

just fucks up in playoffs, like usual

weak bolt
#

NYXL could easily drop Sbb, Anamo, Nenne, Hotba and Whoru. Find some good replacements, and have a chance at contesting in Season 4

plush grail
#

but like why

#

you'd legit drop the whole team except for like jjonak and libero

weak bolt
#

I'd keep Mano, Bianca, Jjonak (If he can adapt his play style), Haksal, Mandu and Libero. Then add in some new talent

#

If they want to win OWL

next mesa
#

imagine dropping sbb

#

like that's ever gonna happen

plush grail
#

sbb and jjonak are confirmed staying

next mesa
#

ok look

#

they should figure out their playstyle

#

stick to bianca

weak bolt
#

That's the problem, do you commit a roster slot to someone who isn't going to be played?

plush grail
#

they just need coaching rn and maybe a tank change

next mesa
#

yes @weak bolt easily

#

stick to bianca

#

change nenne

#

he's trash

#

okay

#

that's all

weak bolt
#

My worry is they wont be able to change the dynamic if they keep all these older players. They needed to adapt this season and didn't

next mesa
#

dude the ny coach

#

fuck what's his name

#

starts with I

#

anyway he was smoking some shit

weak bolt
#

imt

next mesa
#

yeah

#

imagine putting libero on hitscan

#

like, sbb doe

plush grail
#

nenne on sombra

hot heart
#

I think NYXL get confused with dps sometimes

#

Like

next mesa
#

why not put sbb on sombra

hot heart
#

Some decisions make no sense

next mesa
#

his sombra was a nut in goats

hot heart
#

Ye

weak bolt
#

That can't all be coaching though. The scrims must be giving some sign that it's their best style

next mesa
#

idk

weak bolt
#

I think you convert sbb into a streamer like they did with Pine. Keep him assosciated with the org

hot heart
#

He's too good for that

next mesa
#

dont do sbb like that

hot heart
#

I wanna see nyxl

#

With good coaching

#

Then after that

#

Decide who leaves and who doesnt

#

They dont have that luxury though

#

This year is NYXL's last season

#

They have the pieces

#

They fuck this up there is actually no hope

weak bolt
#

Do they have the pieces though? If you do roster comparison vs Shock/SHD/Fusion? I'd say they are lacking a lot

next mesa
#

idk I just think they need a decay-like hitscan

#

haksal mano still top tier

#

jjonak learn to stop being so aggressive still monster

weak bolt
#

I think at minimum you need 1 top hitscan, 1 really good main support, a top tier off tank, and potentially a 2nd flex support

next mesa
#

anamo and mandu's all good man

#

they should stick to bianca

#

not hotba

#

imo

#

but yes nenne can't compete

weak bolt
#

Anamo is ok, but good enough to be championship winning? idk. Didn't see enough Mandu to judge much

hot heart
#

Is glister good enough

#

I didnt watch spitfire matches tbh

woven smelt
#

i think so

#

he got all stars

weak bolt
#

Nyxl signing Glister/Xzi would do them a lot of good

karmic grotto
#

Ah yes, I will now commit watch to earn Mercy and Symmetra Contenders skin

#

still waiting for Zarya though

hot heart
#

Xzi to nyxl

#

Could be hugr

karmic grotto
#

But, there is more

#

Xzi, Hanbin, to Dallas

next mesa
#

fuck dallas

weak bolt
#

Xzi, Hanbin, Danteh and Junkbuck to Dallas. Dallas S4 champs

hot heart
#

Dude

#

Imagine if they did that

next mesa
#

pine back to nyxl

#

that's a realistic move

hot heart
#

Doha Xzi Onigod

next mesa
#

I think he's more explosive than nenne

hot heart
#

Yong junkbuck

#

Ye he def is

weak bolt
#

Would Pine keep up in modern OW though? We've not really seen him since S1 and that was different OW

hot heart
#

Hmm

#

If he still plays widow mccree

#

Yes

#

I think he will

#

Its like saya and diem for me

weak bolt
#

S1 OWL was all about individual plays, now its more about team work and synergy

hot heart
#

They're still good

#

Maybe rusty

#

But good

#

True

next mesa
#

did we doubt that saya can come back next season

hot heart
#

Nah

next mesa
#

yeah

#

im not doubting pine

#

not to mention he's been actually playing

#

the game

weak bolt
#

Saya has been benched all year in fairness

hot heart
#

Ye

next mesa
#

like just on stream

hot heart
#

Still

#

They dont just stop playing OW

weak bolt
#

I think it'd be a step backwards for NYXL to sign Pine honestly if they want to win OWL. If they just want ot sell Jerseys/Merch then go for it

next mesa
#

u never know dude

#

pine just might be the hitscan they need

#

obv all speculating

#

BUT YOU NEVER KNOW DUDE

hot heart
#

See

#

If they want to win

#

Xzi is the guy

weak bolt
#

yeah it'd be a risk vs signing someone proven this year

hot heart
#

Pine is a huge risk for NYXL

#

But

next mesa
#

Why would xzi and hanbin want to leave though

hot heart
#

If it works out

#

It would be huge

#

Not sure

next mesa
#

it makes 0 sense

weak bolt
#

Xzi and Hanbin removed all the Paris stuff from their socials

next mesa
#

they just got sparkle

hot heart
#

They could havr reasons

#

Glister to paris

weak bolt
#

What if, and big if....

hot heart
#

Ifk

weak bolt
#

Xzi, Hanbin and Rush all to NYXL

hot heart
#

As like a replacement

#

Bro

next mesa
#

Rush?

hot heart
#

If that happened

#

NYXL would just be 2nd in apac

next mesa
#

that makes like no sense though nyxl would have to drop a lot of players

hot heart
#

No doubt

next mesa
#

idk

wanton birch
#

danteh to glads

weak bolt
#

Rush = Paris head coach

next mesa
#

wasting all those time

balmy wolf

why is your name john in chinese

hot heart
#

Its in the game

balmy wolf
#

Why not

next mesa
#

weird

balmy wolf
#

Someone who understands

next mesa
#

well

#

yes

balmy wolf
#

Lol

#

I’m threatening to report you for calling me weird

#

I’m being a Karen

#

Jk

hot heart
#

Okay so

#

Where would xzi realistically wanna go

#

And hanbin

next mesa
#

WHY WOULD THEY LEAVE PARIS

hot heart
#

And who needs their talents

next mesa
hot heart
#

THEY MIGHT HAVE THEIR REASONS IDFK

wanton birch
#

if gladiators where to sign danteh, myunbong and fissure where would they rank

karmic grotto
#

I don't see that roster working together...

weak bolt
#

Because Paris aren't that great if they keep committing to all their french players

next mesa
#

They're not though

#

hanbin gets all the playtime

#

xzi gets playtime over soon

#

fielder is a nut

#

sparkle is a nut

wanton birch
#

all the french players getting cheques for sitting on the bench

next mesa
#

benbest has been great

#

fdgod too

hot heart
#

Hmm

#

Actually

#

Who will paris pick up

weak bolt
#

Players also may want to be Korean based with everyone going on. Especially if Xzi has wrist issues still?

hot heart
#

Sp9rk1e hasnt been amazing on anything other than the genji

next mesa
#

doom

#

also yes his sombra is doodoo

#

but he doesn't even play sombra like why didn't they let soon play sombra

#

kinda weird

weak bolt
#

Sparkle was the biggest overhype all season. His only real good play was on a broken OP hero with the whole team giving him resources

woven smelt
#

why did he get rolestar tho

#

ksp shouldve gotten it

weak bolt
#

Because people cream themselves over Genji blades

next mesa
#

role star wasn't 100% fan voted though right

#

also, everyone had a shot on genji he was just too good

tropic herald
#

Because people casters cream themselves over Genji blades

woven smelt
#

also profit shouldve goten it over ans

weak bolt
#

His Genji is top class, no objections there, but outside of that and maybe Doom, what does he give to a team

next mesa
#

nah

#

as much as I love profit

#

12-12 doesn't justify an all star

#

role star*

#

now in the playoffs yes

#

but this is regular season

weak bolt
#

Have Fuel released all their dead weight yet? Tomorrow could be a busy day with a lot of LFT posts

karmic grotto
#

Big brain galaxy take for S4

#

Fissure is going to get signed, or he will become a coach

true hound
#

Ik unkoe already said he’s out

#

Now for trill and akm

weak bolt
#

I can't imagine Fissure back in owl honestly, not unless Justice get desperate

karmic grotto
#

Well

#

Fissure himself can be a good coach

#

He often reviews owl matches

weak bolt
#

as a coaching position maybe, but would many teams take the risk when he has little/no experience at it

next mesa
#

where is mag going

karmic grotto
#

In your ass

next mesa
#

yes

karmic grotto
#

Anyway, today no announcements?

#

I wonder if these teams work together to announce

#

I wonder if they're thinking, that their investments were not rewarded

weak bolt
#

Dont think we'll see signing announcements for a while, just LFT/Releases

karmic grotto
#

This is not a leak, but breaking news. Outlaws doesn't announce it yet, but I think they will soon

raw ermine
#

Houston taking all the good coaches

#

and still won't will LUL

#

first harsha now junk

#

I hope this doesn't get screenshotted and used against me in a year

karmic grotto
#

Harsha was a fluke though

#

But now

#

This guy has Shock mentality

#

I bet he will make the players work

vagrant jacinth
#

Way to go houston

digital cloud
#

now they need good players

vagrant jacinth
weak bolt
#

Wow Houston actually made a decent signing

idle lance
#

anybody has any idea of when an open division for SA might start?

raw ermine
#
#

choose SA and take a look

earnest leaf
#

so another team got an ex shock coach

#

Time to put them top10 in the power rankings

upper niche
#

It's Houston.

hot heart
#

We had paris last year

#

And now we have paris this year

#

If they make good pickups

#

I could see them being good

balmy wolf
#

Paris got a GM from shock

hot heart
#

Not any special

balmy wolf
#

Rush was the coach

hot heart
#

Id assume he still helped coaches

balmy wolf
#

But i dont really think plugging in a shock coach changes much

limber pine
#

Remember flame is gone too

#

So at least there’s real change happening

earnest leaf
#

junkbuck might of taken one last hit of crusty's crack pipe before he left, so maybe he can do something

#

maybe make them not a garbage tier team

hot heart
#

junkbuck might of taken one last hit of crusty's crack pipe before he left, so maybe he can do something
@earnest leaf just maybe

#

Who would they even pickup

#

Like

#

The one player

#

Youd ever keep

#

Is danteh

#

And he's an FA

#

Hopefully they resign him

#

If they dont

#

Its over

earnest leaf
#

keep meko, re-sign danteh

#

give moth a fat fucking bag

#

if xzi actually left paris get him

hot heart
#

Hmm

#

What if

#

Big if

#

But

earnest leaf
#

Oh

#

and get fissure

hot heart
#

What if they sign fissure

#

O

#

Lmao

earnest leaf
#

Lmao

hot heart
#

Ye

#

So like

balmy wolf
#

I think outlaws going budget this year

hot heart
#

Fissure Meko Danteh Xzi Moth

#

Hmm

#

So like

earnest leaf
#

that's actually a solid core

hot heart
#

Go the route of Valiant?

#

And get a really good coach

#

That could work

#

But

#

They need amazing scouting

balmy wolf
#

NA contenders

#

KR contenders are being swarmed at

hot heart
#

Id assume so yeah

#

Now

#

Who are the biggest prospects from NA and KR contenders?

#

Havnet had time to watch contenders this season

upper niche
#

There have already been some rumours of AU contenders players being picked up

#

At least one player from Mindfreak and another from GZG

hot heart
#

Nvm they lost 0-3

#

GZG won AUS contenders

#

Saw a tweet from Their offtank Adam

#

He's LFT rn

#

Unter vouched for him so thats something

#

He also got 4600 in NA with 180 ping i think it was

vagrant jacinth
#

Yo I didn't see, danteh a fa

hot heart
#

Yep

sullen berry
#

mindfreak is the one that frogger is on right
@next mesa he's said on Twitch he's probably done fucking around with esports. But they had a solid run despite no scrims throughout the season

I asked this question before but im not sure if i got answers

So

Here we go again

#

Who are the top prospects from KR and NA conteders? (Haven't watched Conteders)

sullen berry
#

name anyone from the current runaway roster

#

Gen.G and Talon are also up there as good picks in KR, since they're not in high demand as Element Mystic and Runaway
If you want names, there's MAG Tank Stalk3r Damage Choisehwan Damage MCD Support Valentine Damage Na1st Damage

#

I don't follow NA to know how they would fare, but these look pretty good in NA

keen warren
#

What's the sched for KR Contenders?

also OWL rosterpocalypse

god damn

sullen berry

yeah we're only getting started with the nukes

watch more top 8 teams bin pieces of their rosters

raw ermine

Ok

#

Bruh the charge give an entire message for krystal after he got dropped from the main team after being there for a few months but Houston can't give one to linkzr or muma

Ating only really looked decent on monkey, and even then didn’t look great

also spark posted this hearfelt message of chinese caster XiaoGui leaving the broadcast - it's quite magical for the guy HangzhouSpark
https://youtu.be/in0uonqxpbQ?t=1031

As a Chinese-speaking caster, Xiaogui might not be as well-known in the English-speaking Overwatch community. Still, as one of the best CNOW casters joins Spark as the new Supervisor, we would like to present to you this documentary about the Final Act in his casting career.

players don't officially become free agents until the 23rd

#

so it's possible the teams are waiting until then if they can't make a deal

#

that's the difference between the teams making an announcement vs the players

raw ermine

Baconjack has retired from overwatch to complete his studies

quartz cairn

stellar and mag

Watch British Hurricane

It’s a team of really good players

tight hill

I don’t watch much contenders thanks for help

tropic herald

Drifters and T2DA from NA are good teams as well

And then if you watch Korean contendies

RunAway is fun

And Talon

There’s another team in Korea that’s cool but I don’t remember

sucks how the last dutch player in owl was brussen on boston

he was doomed to fail there

#

closest we have to a dutch player is logix

raw ermine

their are a lot of dutch in contenders

vagrant jacinth

What does he play?

raw ermine

Brussen is an off tank

Bye OGE

worn falcon

Someone save Mek0

I can see him to Washington. They wud be unanimous winners in the Decay/OGE trade

raw ermine

omg imagine

#

"Who won the OGE Decay trade?"

#

Washington

worn falcon
raw ermine

Confirmed FA

clear crane

Replaced Roar on Glads

#

Now gonna replace him on Justice derp

raw ermine
#

The core LAG have right now is solid

#

Birdring space mirror kev

clear crane
#

But I can see Justice keeping Roar if it makes Decay happy given both former KDP

hot onyx
#

Honestly if justice want to make any solid achievements without a double off tank meta they release roar asap

wanton birch
#

Who do gladiators even pick up

#

I’d say get myunbong and throw money at moth

raw ermine
#

Moth is iffy

karmic grotto
#

Jesus

raw ermine
#

they had him remove the FA post

#

so idk what that means

wanton birch
#

I think it’s because people replying seemed really angry

karmic grotto
#

What if, Justice gets OGE

hot onyx
#

Damn they silenced moth like the Chinese government silenced peaceful protesters

worn falcon
#

Justice should get MAG

clear crane
#

They should

#

not too sure what this follow-up tweet implies

#

everyone releasing their main supports cause they are gonna throw the bucket of cash at Moth derp

limber pine
#

I doubt it

#

hopefully teams are smart enough to offer a contract first before getting rid of in-house options

the 12th is when player trades can be submitted

the 16th is when they must exercise options

so if you wanted moth, you really should have done it by now.

or at least, that's how I interpret it

clear crane

today shud be juicy

LAG has 3 dps and an offtank left

should be interesting

OGE to Justice, called it few weeks back and people said I was crazy 😄

OGE just replaces Roar wherever he goes

They wouldn't.

I'm being hypothetical because I want decay profit dps duo

I think pine said on stream that he's trying to get signed to a team

he is LFT

Liquipedia is making it seem like Krystal and Wya got dropped from both GZC and the academy

#

they didn't do that did they?

#

The main roster yeah

#

but prime as well?

weak bolt
#

Both were 2 way players

#

Guessing they dropped from both

next mesa
#

there was that thing

weak bolt
#

Liquipedia still has Wya and Krystal listed as Active players on GZC Academy

next mesa
#

obviously difference in playstyles but

#

just numbers

clear crane
#

is there a set date yet

#

for wen the 2021 season starts?

weak bolt
#

Those numbers dont take into account that with Shock you have Viol2t doing a ton of dps that is going to naturally reduce your dps' overall damage too

#

April 2021 is the proposed start for OWL S4 currently i believe. But it wont be 100% confirmed anywhere for a while

clear crane
#

Blizzard should run an NBA-bubble style. Whether here or in APAC. Similar to how every team operated out of LA S1 and 2

#

i dont think we will see any normalcy till late 2021

weak bolt
#

NBA bubble worked, but other sports it hasn't worked for them as good. I think when you can play online, it's the safest option

clear crane
#

yup which is why i think it will work with this

#

u dont need them to meet in person, but have everyone in close location so latency is not an issue

next mesa
#

They just need to have those apex booths

#

it's seperate

#

and sanitize them after

clear crane
#

and u can match everyone against each other eventually rather den an 13-7 or whatever split they want

weak bolt
#

They wont force everyone into 1 region again

#

Viewership would plummet

silk frost
#

How the fuck is boink STILL not released

weak bolt
#

He probably has been released

#

But is maybe not LFT

vagrant jacinth
#

Mystery my dude

torn fossil
#

Juckbuck

weak bolt
#

He could well have taken a coaching position internally

#

Houston haven't even done a goodbye post for those who are gone, left alone for someone moving into new role

next mesa
#

at this point they might as well abandon NA region

#

if they were to choose

weak bolt
#

and lose all your NA viewership entirely?

silk frost
#

They should make the split 10/10

#

Florida could easily move over to APAC

weak bolt
#

Depends on the Org though, to move you have to move a whole lot of things, not just players

#

and Misfits is an US Org, they want an NA presence I'd suspect

next mesa
#

yes

#

NA viewership is super insignificant

#

in the grand scheme of things

flat ridge
#

did someone got the Symmetra's skin? the contenders one I mean

next mesa
#

if they were to choose one region

torn fossil
#

Whyd OGE leave?

#

Was he just let go?

flat ridge
#

cuz i've watched the whole KR's contenders and I didn't get her

weak bolt
#

Mutual decision between him and team to leave. That's all that has been said

torn fossil
#

Ah

weak bolt
#

They won't ditch a whole region. They'll stick to NA and APAC. What they can do, is prepare for a mid season tournament that covers both regions in 1 location perhaps.

silk frost
#

I heard the covid vaccine may be done early next year so that may be possible

weak bolt
#

Regular season April - June. July/August reserved for a special tournament of Apac/NA, then August - Sept rest of season, and Oct/Nov Grand Finals

#

All depends how much risk teams and OWL want to take honestly

silk frost
#

I mean the NA/APAC thing was mostly because of how the APAC teams were already there because of homestands

#

So for all we know they might scrap it entirely

vagrant jacinth
#

Yeah yeah, I don't mind the apac/na split but we do need more inter-region play

next mesa
#

really surprised that the matches were so close after not playing against eachother for months

#

all map 5s and a decent grand finals

(we dont talk about fusion)

fusion didnt see map 5

I think people are learning from Crusty and then selling themselves on his success

It makes sense, when you hear stories of how bad OWL level coaching actually is

silk frost

Houston just keep getting the scraps of Shock

next mesa

danteh

digital cloud

I wouldn't say he was the scraps, exactly

#

he is still rather good

but yeah, Houston is pretty much trying to piggy back off shock most of the time

clear crane
tough wharf
#

who dat

clear crane
#

looks like new GM for them

#

she was GM for Hurricanes

silk frost
#

oh they're going european then

clear crane
#

Basically implying they are gonna promote hurricane to main roster

#

and work on keeping their academy team as a farm team

#

like Uprising and BU

#

Got a good feeling they will be a bottom 5 team

karmic grotto
#

It's not like they care

#

They just want Western representation

#

As they should have had since the beginning

#

And you know, maybe it won't be that bad

#

BH is actually dominating so hard in EU Contenders

silk frost
#

yeah they're probably a t5 contender's team

#

like up there with CC

hot heart
#

OGE or Mag to Washington

And Washington are set

limber pine

why not both?

it's possible London can do the same

hot heart

Droppjng coaches

they probably want to leave

prob have HC opportunities

Crusty's gone mad

better pay

Mad with power

next mesa

also there's nothing left to acoomplish

Imagine arachne to Washington

clear crane

Crusty shuda gone back to Boston

hot heart

That would be sick

raw ermine

bruh they dropped arachne

clear crane

bet there will be news hes some HC in a few days

karmic grotto

I wouldn't say dropped, that sounds negative

silk frost

mutually left

raw ermine

fair enough

#

so london are going EU

#

poggers

karmic grotto
#

ye

#

Finally getting that Europe representation

I wonder if Nico joins them

I don't think Paris brings him back

silk frost
cobalt spoke
#

No shot

clear crane

very hard for any rankings to be made with the offseason moves lol

other den Shock/Shanghai/Philly at the top

#

since i dont see much changing with those 3 teams

cobalt spoke
#

Shock shot 2 coaches

#

Im scared

raw ermine

how tf is toronto below london, london doesn't even have a full roster

like predicting where teams will be at the start of 2021

This person is making a power rankings

#

Now??

clear crane
#

Boston not F tier. nice

#

I can see Lori working some magic

silk frost
#

and HUK IS MOSTLY GONE CRAB RAVE

#

Mineral will be replacing him and his duties I believe

limber pine
#

we're like 3 months away from realistic power rankings

clear crane
#

hard to call that an upgrade haha

next mesa
#

its pointless

#

making power rankings

#

right now

#

lol

silk frost
#

yeah but it's fun

next mesa
#

ok

#

I mean

#

ok

#

lik what if decay fuckin leaves

#

just drops justice down to like d tier

clear crane
#

im veryyy curious to see what Titans do

silk frost
#

Mineral actually knows how competitive teams work and Huk knows how to make money, so Boston might be able to keep some of their talent for 2021 rather than selling their best players

limber pine
#

I could see them keeping shockwave and blowing the rest up

#

or selling shockwave and blowing it all up

silk frost
#

I doubt it

#

I think Dalton may stay as well and they might pick up a true flex DPS

true hound
silk frost
#

maybe with some actual time to coach and build their synergy and stuff they'll be good

clear crane
#

i think they have to pick up a true flex lol

silk frost
#

jesus fucking christ even as a meme Houston should be lower

clear crane
#

NYXL might be blowing it up

silk frost
#

probably

next mesa
#

I think titans should go fuck themselves

silk frost
#

they're one of the longest cores in Overwatch and you know how long standing cores go

next mesa
#

ok but on a serious note they should ditch the two supports

#

and get a new pair

silk frost
#

Carcar yes

next mesa
#

KSAA is good right

clear crane
#

lotta teams need new supports now

silk frost
#

yeah

next mesa

Someone needs to throw 500k at Moth

next mesa
#

we don't even know the salaries

silk frost
#

that's not happening

clear crane
#

lol

next mesa
#

they should make the salaries public

#

It'll be good for the industry imo

silk frost
#

I know Decay had like a 400k salary in season 2 or something wild like that

next mesa
#

imagine paying the guy 400k and he just skurt skurt

clear crane
#

i thought space was on a crazy high salary

silk frost
#

probably

clear crane
#

finance in owl is very difficult tho

silk frost
#

Vancouver should get rid of Tsuna and Carcar, but besides that I think they can build on what they have

clear crane
#

esp if the entire league itself is not making omney

next mesa
#

I bet profit and gesture are too

#

payed very well

#

paid

#

whatever

silk frost
#

they are

next mesa
#

its crazy to me

seoul pays everyone

next mesa

like bdosin gesture profit all got in dynasty

and it wasnt planned

#

like

#

???????

clear crane
#

they have the luxury of being the only korea-located team

silk frost
#

I was about to say

clear crane
#

if they ever expand they shud look for a busan team

next mesa
#

wasn't there a leak

#

that there were gonna be like 4 more apac teams

clear crane
#

its based off investors

#

u need the investors to want to pay for a team

#

hence why theres so many US based ones

silk frost
#

I'm hoping for a pacific team (probably like Sydney) and a nother couple Korean teams

next mesa
#

its crazy though

#

apac should have more investors

#

considering esports is soooooooooooooo much more popular there

clear crane
#

and if its true that owl is not profitable

#

den it will turn ppl away

tropic herald
#

The fact that there is only one Korean based team in OWL is crazy

karmic grotto
#

yet

clear crane

its all about league there

next mesa

overwatch is still fairly popular though

like in the top 4-5
