this isnt the place for that
Can I @mods
lol i aint a snitch but sure
i mean, i have the physical overwatch game for xbox one that i never opend...
One of the greatest Genji players of all time is retiring from the @OverwatchLeague. We are honored to have had him as part of our team during his memorable career. Thank you @Haksal for all that you've done. Wishing you all the best on your next adventure. #EverUpward https:...

Wait I'm late
Anyways
Absolutely tragic
Now let's wait for Sp9rk1e to retire
Step 1: print this photo of francesco aqualini
step 2: punch it
step 3: repeat until anger is gone or page breaks.
im sad

ive never heard of this random genji
release haksal sign flow3r
Well yeah she beat it
But she’s not at double yet
It’s also really not hard for famous people to beat 300k lol
I don't know what's her peak
she passed 450k long time ago
AOC already at double the peak viewership of Overwatch League
464
5565
according to slasher
Well slasher is wrong now isn’t he
lmao
shes has the record for 3rd biggest individual stream now
I’m surprised she isn’t more rn
I know when I started watching she was like 460k
Aoc?
@quartz cairn did you end up getting a skin from that? was that enough time?
i cant check rn
nearing midnight and i gotta finish stuff up
sorry im exhausted rn
it was from 5 PM to around 10 ish PM
so it wouldn't be enough time alone regardless
thnx
ah rip
next time a game starts ill check halfway thru the broadcast
i had it playing in the background unmuted, while I played minecraft on windowed mode
hopefully that counts
i cant just keep it the main window the whole time cuz even when im not bein an epic gaymur, i need it for studies or something
Myunbong nooo
You know what I trust myunbongs decision
streamer “haksal”! i think i’ll have a retirement stream today. thank you all so much.
his stream title says "byebye overwatch" the pain
yikes
FUCK ME DUDE
I don't wanna

this is when NYXL signs in flower
why sign another hitscan
i thought he specialized in projectile?
Bro
A legend leaves the game
Even if vancouver didnt impload
I think haksal would've retired either way
I disagree
But it definitely sped up his burn out
Vancouver will never have the communitys support
The players will
But never the management
Runaway was his team, teammates, knew each other for years, friends. And when you fall apart because of the management, and then the players scattered over the league, no amount of money will make you enjoy the game if you can't be together
Yeah but at the same time he's played pro OW for almost 5 years now
Idk
Im just sad now
Well, some people play fifa since their birth, even league of legends since it was out
Yeah
Overwatch just doesn't feel the same as them
The amount of scrims
I agree
Hopefully we see old runaway back in some way
It becomes better, much more balanced than previous years, but you already lost players
Ranked...
I doubt someone could have the pull or the money tl do that
But it would be amazing
Imagine a Runaway/SHD/SFS top 3
God that would be sick
The old vancouver squad from earlier s3
Could have done really well
Leaks
Gimme gimme
dallas looks very nice rn
since there is legit 1 player in it and a kr coach
also why daco
Wait on haksals insta it says he might go into broadcasting
*streaming
just some translating errors from Korean to English
and the fact that streamers are called BJs or Broadcast Jockeys in Korea may have caused that error
We can't thank @Boombox enough for his dedication to Fusion for the past three years.
We've made unforgettable memories together both on and off stage, and we hope you remember them as you move on to the next part of your career.
Good luck with whatever comes next, Boombox!...

This is moving too fast. But hey, that’s videogames, you have 3 years on top and then you’re gone. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
A fan’s life last longer!
it do be like that
Many people will say that I made a bad choice, but I think it's better to show you action and performance than words, so I'll be back with Boston in 2021. Thank you so much for your support.👍👍

I respect that
They just have to build something around him to be competitive
Myungbang
Myungb0ng be like "its ok guys, I'm just gonna solo carry boston next year" What an omegachad
Or he had multi year contract
We don't know which players Boston is going to acquire
It will be interesting
watch boston destroy the ladder next season
Boston gonna come and curb stomp every team next year 
You never know
they have money
But with fusions...colourhex....punk.....

I wonder how the coach will make this team viable
the signing of Lori was widely applauded
hopefully that means something
Boston still needs at minimum:
- A main support
- a second hitscan player
And likely will want another main tank and various bench players
and maybe a sniper specialist
Pine is lft, so is fl0w3r
Linkzr I guess
I think they'll have a decent choice (assuming they'll want to pay them)
Quite a few options around
Boston has the tools available to make a decent team
They just need to use some money
Imagine Boston throws money at Unique suddenly they have an insane backline
they could bring neko back lol
Neko is a main support now, so that would make sense
I think they could sign blasé so that colourhex can play more hitscan
Boston want to be the next SHDragons
Lori will be good for Boston
and gotta respect Myungbongs reasoning to watch to carve a path for himself
smart too, if myunb0ng succeeds in Boston next season, he will be a hot FA when season 5 comes
also, huk asked myunb0ng if he wanted to be put up for trades. he said no
@weak bolt But
It's possible
IF
They have the same synergy as Dragons
Otherwise it won't work
I think Unique goes to Dallas
to reunite with Doha
I can see im37 being brought back to Boston
Yeah it's unlikely that boston will be good. But I would like to see Fusions/CHex have a bit of a redemption arc
myunbong is so chad
Kdg gone is big, Philly with a new coach could be scary
Fusions isn’t bad at rein/orisa, he’s just not good at monkey. I think if they can pick up another MT and let him focus he’d do ok
Playing every game and losing with no breaks/subs must suck
ChrisTFer obviously new head coach
yes I think they should shorten the seasons
that was a good idea
and then make them play matches more frequently
Boston sign chipsa for the win. No chipsa no win.
Long seasons are ok, but teams need to have roster depth. Having only 6 players isn’t fair imo
wen travel actually happens, u cannot only have 6 players. ur asking for them to be mentally dead
like imagine scrimming 6 hours a day for 6 days for one match
and then get swept
that's just mentally booming
but if you have more frequent matches
You don’t scrim for one match though, you scrim to Improve at that meta
As long as hero pools aren’t weekly again it’s fine
Hero bans would require far more heroes in the game
Imagine if every team just banned Genji was Paris, or tracer vs shock. It’d be boring
idk it'll be sick
like what if one match they dont ban genji
and sparkle goes genji
but he actually got baited and they're running like full genji counter
like that story with faker
Philly fans are super mad on Twitter right now
Other opinion: pick ban systems cant work in overwatch
i mean the org
I bet Carpe and kdg disagreed and fusion dropped him
why
that doesn't make sense
Carpe gets what he wants. See Fragi
but there's literally no proof of that
Yeah it’s pure speculation I just made up about kdg
How are you gonna have a pic ban system if you know what your team and the enemy team is playing?
But the Fragi stuff was legit
KDG about to go to NY
okay hear me out, hero pools are to diversify the meta right, but if you ban the same heroes for everyone, there's just going be a different meta
Yea
@cobalt spoke if you know what the enemy team is playing you can ban one of the heroes in that comp or something
That’s the idea, more metas and less stagnation
like there's more strats involved
Exactly
If you have bans, you generally get a hero ban meta
Thats not a good thing
how is that not a good thing though
Kdg gone lul
Because it doesn’t create different metas, it just creates one where you ban the same 2 or 3 heroes every game
If someone is an otp or hard main and you ban their only hero they literally throw
they should have expected the ban
okay anyway
I agree
hero ban won't work now
I think in the future though with like more heroes
I reckon you need at least 4 more tanks and 3 supports to even consider bans
Id rather take it in to my own hamds to dominate otps rather than forcing them to private profile
But thats just me
Bans would also be horrible outside of owl
Yea
no one in owl shud be a otp
Pick ban would still be pretty bad with all the hard counters and hard synergy
I think you’d just see certain tanks or supports perma banned
Exactly
o
on the rare chance that they are not banned
oh
I don't like it here
BIANCA AND HOTBA
I HATE it here
THEY HAVE NO OT NOW
woah Bianca
gg
Meko returning
OK SO THEY ARE SIGNING HANBIN
nyxl goin
Thats not very xqcL
full on
OR MEK0
rebulild
Hanbin and xzi to nyxl, called it
wtf
things getting juicy
YEAH
also there's no proof of the fragi/carpe thing either
Ok
Didn’t Fragi pretty much confirm it on his streams?
Nyxl now have no genji
Sparkle to NY too 😄
libero?
you'd have to provide me with a link
the only thing I found is a vague mention by Avast
If Libero was good enough they’d not have signed whoru or hacksal imo
I reckon Dallas pick up those players
because whoru and jehong redemption tour is coming
Dallas to sign Hotba, whoru, Nenne, OGE
Yeah but this is Dallas
They love bench players who used to be good once a while ago
isnt SBB hitscan anyways
does that mean flower gets signed to dallas too?
and Libero can play anything
SBB is more like cree/sombra/tracer though
not long range
but in the playoffs he stepped up and played ashe
did okay
Dallas will sign a bunch of washed Korean players and ruin Doha in S4
apparently better than nenne
wasnt he their bastion in S2 playoffs lol
Nenne was out most of the season for health issues right? He went to Korea late
Please tell me they are sacrifices to the haksal gods
bruh

Ninek to head coach Paris. Rush and his EM boys to nyxl
lol
he just wants the 💰
Moth won’t leave, he just wants more cash
Damn
yep saw that
Bianca leaving was somewhat surprising
Nenne dropped off
Hotba wasnt as good as he was 2019 playoffs
why now we have to pick classes in the game rhat sucks
at least mano sbb jjonak libero anamo still there
I’m surprised they kept both their main supports
And WhoRu wasnt gonna do anything on NYXL
Yeah
I thought anamo or Mandu would go, but both remain
Who goes to NYXL
now they just need to sign pine or xzi
hanbin maybe
for the hitscan
Paris Korean core to nyxl
Xzi is amazing
Rush, sparkle xzi and hanbin
his cree won them the summer showdown yeah

Could be tons of players FA still honestly. Maybe just not announced yet
official free agency doesn't start until friday
It's sad that in the beginning of 2020 nyxl got 2 genji gods but now there leaving
genji was good for like one tournament
i didn't really see much of whoru though
Because Haskal later replaced him
ik
which is just tragic
Whoru seemed like he was overhyped and struggled in owl. Same as flowr
Maybe too much pressure for players on a team like nyxl honestly
he's definitely very talented mechanically but like idk about his game iq
wait did flower go to runaway?
For some time yeah
Feels like nyxl lack the coaching of other teams
Then he retired if im not wrong
And new players struggle
ellivote, note, meko, hotba, bianca, mcgravy, frd
And is Now LFT
lots of experienced offtanks
Yeah
KSAA too
isnt apex overwatch done
What
also it suks vancouver had to get an entirely new roster
Runaway in OWC
Lmao
Paris
Rawkus/Repel & Jecse have some words about that.
kinda sad shadowburn left for valorant
Jecse is still good isnt he?
one of best genjis
i mean shadowburn isnt part of a team
in valorant
New York Excelsior is New York’s first professional esports team and one of the founding franchises of Activision Blizzard’s Overwatch League representing New York, New York, United States. The Excelsior compete in the Atlantic North Division. The word excelsior is a Latin wor...
nyxl only has 1 tank 3 supports and 2 dps
I remember the day shadder returned from his long ass break
Caught his stream as soon as it went live
Hearing his voice
Was so nostalgic and weird
But he was still great at OW
He's top 10 EU rn if im not mistaken
So still cracked out
remember when he got a 6k in world cup just by ghost dashing?
sdb?
ikr
That clip was sick
5 NO 6 KILLS FOR SHADOWBURN
@hot heart def he literally hard carried russia to the finals
of owwc 2016
russias strat was
"give sdb everything"
wait wut whoru joined before pine retired?
Holy shit wtf new york
wtf
Dallas has big bucks so idk
bianca was born on jan 1st 2002
Okay?
lol never seen a birthday on jan 1st before
I thought with haksal leaving, whoru would've cemented his place
Idk I never liked the new ones
imagine if jjonak left for seoul or guanzhou
hopefully they get hanbin
Yeah but I like him haha
ye but hes not bad
he did have a good season with guanzhou
so it did kinda redeem himself as a replacement for meko
POG
wait rilly?
Yeah
Yes
New tweet
NYXL twitter
Pog tankline bro
xqc OT = 2021 champions
wheres muma from
outlaws
wait send me the tweet im on my scholl account they give restrictions

When the Chengdu Hunters took on the New York Excelsior on Numbani they came prepared with a rehearsed strategy that completely shut down the latter's Sombra tactics.
In this edition of Behind The Akshon, we take a look at how the Hunters countered the NYXL.

Min-Ki “Viol2t” Park—free agent (existing contract expiring)
oh thank god
oh he's a free agent as well....
super/viol2t/rascal free agents (existing contract expiring)
why did they release the undefeated?
he has to be resigned
Benbest just did really good
damn Toronto is all free agents
Super goes to new york...
As flex dps
Super is the best rein in OWL and has a really good hog
what chipsa left?
woahhh wtf??
Rascal is a flex god
they released him
And viol2t is from another dimension
Super replaces vio2t
rekt
Damage
Gui-Un “Decay” Jang—free agent (existing contract expiring)
Chung-Hee “Stitch” Lee—free agent (2021 option declined)
Ho-Seong “Ttuba” Lee—under existing contract

Yeon-Jun “Ark” Hong—free agent (2021 option declined)
Jjanu declined???
and rip Roar is guranteed to be there next year
oh shit
WHAT
roar/ttuba/ but decay?
Decay has to be free agent
decay was always dmg
cause of his signing mid season
ik
Not like this
he was dmg for dallas
glads get decay back
Roar should move to coaching
Washington should pick up mag
Mag is the best main tank in contenders korea
6k in total
I am going off of owl casters, I don't watch contenders korea
yes
he was ok
It's time for new owl players to get there
Lucky future zenith should be reunited
well justice are f8cked
im going to cry
WHAT!
THEY RELEASED TOBI!!!!!!!!!!
gte ch gfbjhgff t ffhthghhrr
WTF SEOUL DOING
We already knew that titans management with questionable so Shockwave getting released makes sense
shockwave was pretty good for a rookie
I like ttuba as a player
he just had a trash team
(2021 option declined) - the org dropped them
free agent (existing contract expiring) - nothing was done
under existing contract/2021 option exercised - team picked up for next year/contract still active
just to differentiate
Geguri is gone
what offtank does ny pick up
Meko
oh ye
Decay, fleta, rascal, and profit would be unstoppable together
or Jjanu
Muma
ikr
wtf
Hydration OT
washington stupid
Roar sucks ass
although at this point i am 99% sure Roar is there just to get Decay back
former KDP teammates
so they did drop erster
Washington just has other ideas. We don't know
why then
Diem is a free agent as well
Washington gonna reunite KDP lmao
Maybe ATL wants to go Western?
for some reason fleta makes haksal's genji look like a copy
maybe, but they kept edison
aye
and erster is such a good player
they don't do the same stuff
dogman being gone is good
no complaints there
saucy I think could have been kept
erster gone though is pretty bad
Twilight is better than vio2t
ehhhh
Menghan “Ameng” Ding—team can exercise option until Nov. 13
on Ana sure
He's a God everything that Viol2t's good at and he can play brig and Ana
Slime to Florida?
Tank
Jun-Ho “Fury” Kim—free agent (existing contract expiring)
Gael “Poko” Gouzerch—team can exercise option until Nov. 13
Su-Min “Sado” Kim—team can exercise option until Nov. 13
This is interesting
Poko to London?
Dylan “AKM” Bignet—free agent (2021 option declined)
I wonder why so many main supports are getting dropped
Surprised
Sado doesn't stay ima be amazed
akm was doing Valorant for ages
Y'all see toronto?
forgot the /s tag
He had the best season in the history of his career this year
Stefan “Onigod” Fiskerstrand—free agent (2021 option declined)
they dropped so many ppl
Onigod being dropped was a mistake too
oof
I really like the paint brush signing actually I'm sad that he got dropped
Gargoyle
what about yaki
Is gargoyle leaves and fate leaves the mayhem are screwed
Yaki under contract
yaki is one of the best rookies
oop
Yaki and GNJ are still there
thats ur main duo to keep
if I were Florida
Gargoyle should def be looked into to resign
I think that all they need is somebody like BQB in a main support like slime in their good
Main support was their weakest position this year
Picking up a glister even if BQB stays might be a good move to have the Tracer so then they can play genji tracer dive
I am a Florida fan so I want them to win they just never seem to come close enough to succeed this year was the closest now they just need better main support
Florida has good management
Just need to pick up some more talent
Kuki is a good head coach
holy cow happy into nyxl?? awesome
dallas is a pretty good team ngl
well since like half there roster is gone
oh well
chipsa pepehands
chipsa rage
Im just happy it looks like the EM trio is staying 🙂
where did u get that
mk
meko free
shit's about to get wild
outlaws in pretty bad situation
look at toronto
No support
except doha
ok im happy now
wait florida stil had sayaplayer?
Carpe has 2 more years lol
ohh
and prob a fatass contract
oof its just spaceleft for la glad
meko back to NYXL plz?
he has ties with Heesu
Chipsa unlooky
mcgravey gone
rip aimgod and ark
BRUH
really bad
Decay free agent if he doesnt get resigned
imagine decay on nyxl
that would be something
it'll make up for haksal
Toronto super dropped
yeah
S4 retirement
sp3rk1e still there so is xzi
so paris is good
nuts rascal free
o
moth and viol2t free
Super free
Diem to Philly
wtf toronto is free

S4 will retire
nuu
^
kariv did carry the la valiant against vancouvers old squad breaking there win streak
yea that to me is prob the most surprising "declined"
We only spent one season @ChipSa_OW, but we can't thank him enough for the hard work and laughter he brought to all of Fusion.
We wish you luck in wherever your career takes you next, and we are proud to have had you as a member of the team this year.
Thank you, ChipSa!

lost
London
Hey Justice fans! As a reminder declining an option doesn't mean "dropped from the team". For us it means exploring options and negotiating contract changes. We're in conversations with all of our current players and prospects this week! #JusticeFighting
He only played once lol
decay is rilly good
he should go to nyxl or seoulor shanghai
but nyxl rilly needs him
I think Decay stays
so washington is making him free then they go like nvm stay
There was a clause in his contract where he had to be a free agent after this season
Washington was not allowed to re-sign him. he had to hit free agency
^
They gotta be free agent to giving them the opportunity to check other teams
Or check witht he org if theyre willing to renew with some changes or nah
Like Carpe being a Fusion slave for years.
I think it was anyone who was signed after the signing deadline and was signed to replace a retired/visa/travel issues player
alarm got rookie of the year
ye
he did
yep
he didnt retire he taking a break
he retired
Chipsa nooo
All the remaining nyxl players have the option of their contract being exercised until nov 13th
Hanbin Xzi inc
nah hanbin and xzi are staying with paris
Also
Atl have declined Erster
Boink declined. Houston is free
Well
Saturday they can sign players
Would be interesting to see
Where some players are going
Toronto has some major declines in there. Lots of FA
Glister will prob be sold
Glister to NYXL then
Glister is listed as existing contract with London, so he’d have to be sold or traded
Bernar Glister sounds amazing
Same with Bernar and Fuze
Aren't Xzi and Hanbin confirmed staying with Paris since the 2021 option was exercised?
Option was exercised still means could be traded on those contracts
