No

#

Mano and dallas wont work

#

Mano is passive, and the players on dallas like aggression

#

The tempo will be off

#

Unless rush and the coaches really think they can change Mano

#

Though shu to glads is an upgrade

earnest leaf
#

Any supp to glads is an upgrade tbf

tropic herald
#

Mano to glads is a possibility

#

Or maybe Toronto

raw ermine
#

that would be pog

#

mano-logix winston tracer dive

karmic grotto
#

If toronto can afford him

tropic herald
#

Toronto afforded KDG

next mesa
#

Logix honestly slightly doodoo

weak bolt
#

LAG picking up Shu would be a big surprise

#

Can only think GZC must not be able to afford to compete with LAG

#

Florida must be close to announcing something

raw ermine
#

Mano to florida lul

next mesa
#

dudw

#

dude

#

thanos gif?

#

really?

#

must have some huge fucking signings

#

they used the thanos gif man

viral veldt
#

Super used thanos as thumbail for his match against Washington WinstonThink

weak bolt
#

Mano to Florida might be a possibility, but is he that much of an upgrade over Fate?

next mesa
#

yes

weak bolt
#

Florida were in negotiations with Mag, so they must want a new MT at least

#

If Shu -> Glads is true, GZC have 0 support players

limber pine
#

shu's contract was expiring already, so GZC has had no support players

weak bolt
#

yeah just assumed they'd be keeping him but mustn't be able to match a LAG offer

solar bison
#

Probably

weak bolt
#

Or they're picking up a bigger signing I suppose, but that'd have to be like Viol2t or Jjonak or something

solar bison
#

Probably not

next mesa
#

any really nice flex support players in contenders

solar bison
#

i dont know any

weak bolt
#

Meant to be quite a few in Korean Contenders for FS role

next mesa
#

Revenge

solar bison
#

But a couple days ago, everyone was talking about unique

next mesa
#

looks real good

#

imo

#

I only watched him

#

for like

#

a match though

solar bison
#

I mean, you could have caught him on a good day

next mesa
#

maybe

#

it was the finals

solar bison
#

Yeah

#

A lot of people tend to show up and try and up their game for finals

weak bolt
#

GZC should pick up Ch0r0ng as their MS just to fuck with the casters

next mesa
#

yeah runaway

#

they lost though

weak bolt
#

The NA contenders I watched yesterday seemed so tragic in comparison to EU and Korea

solar bison
#

What was different?

next mesa
#

looks bad

weak bolt
#

Just looked slow, unco-ordinated and chaotic

solar bison
#

The play

#

Or the broadcast

weak bolt
#

The play

solar bison
#

Ahh

#

NA contenders playing differently

weak bolt
#

The meta was fucking weird too. It was like Ball/Zarya/Tracer/Echo/2 Random supports

solar bison
#

NA strats looking weird

next mesa
#

yeah it was like ball zarya and ball dva

plush light
#

Anyone remember that game in season 1 were super played zen against Dallas?

next mesa
#

s1?

#

super couldn't play in s1 right

noble nexus
#

he played 3rd and 4th stage I think

#

either that or just 4th

#

he came of age like midway

silk frost
#

All regions are playing ball

#

And yes super played zen in season 1

noble nexus
#

he played a bit of hog too

#

most flexible player to ever touch the videogame

next mesa
#

yeah I mean have you seen his widow

#

could prob start over ans

#

but just doesn't because he's too humble

noble nexus
#

his zen could start over viol2t too

#

just too good

next mesa
#

easily dude

#

viol2t is garbage compared to super zen

noble nexus
#

viol2t washed

#

super is just too humble

#

he likes to make it fair

#

that's why he's usually benched

solar bison
#

Yep

#

He was too good

#

The league forced him to do main tank

karmic grotto
#

Fissure to (...)

next mesa
#

is he LFT?

solar bison
#

I think so

raw ermine
#

his twitter is protected so only certain people can follow

#

certain as in nobody

next mesa
#

yeah

#

I checked

#

so it's tragedy

#

we dont know if he's LFT

tidal ridge
#

its been quiet for 2 days

#

also

#

fissure was looking for a redemption arc in titans and he didnt get it

#

sad

next mesa
#

he should've

solar bison
#

Yeah

#

He wanted to stay on the titans

#

Unlike previous teams where he wanted to leave them

#

Some team should give him a chance if he wants to take it

#

Plus, main tanks are of great demand in OWL

shy remnant
#

have yall seen what haloofthoughts has said about NYXL and mano?

bronze scroll
#

does anybody know who this new LA gladiators GM is. They are calling her Brenda in the tweet, tag Bsuh, and liquipedia says she used to be director of operations, but she doesnt have a liquipedia page

shy remnant
#

i have no idea

wanton birch
#

i think she worked with charge

gleaming quartz
#

She did. But there's no liquidpedia page for her from the charge page

silk frost
#

Is she good?

gleaming quartz
#

🤷‍♂️

silk frost
#

We truly are the wisest of people aren't we

shy remnant
#

ive never even heard of her

solar bison
#

Same

hot heart
#

Look at this shit bro holy FUCK

solar bison
#

Yeah

#

It was posted somewhere up

plush light
#

The shock released rascal because super is like rascal, but more flexible and better at everything

hot heart
#

True

plush light
#

#sparkbang
XD

hot heart
#

Idk why they dont just release everyone

#

And let super 1v6

plush light
#

Super 1v6 wins grand finals XD

#

Super playing on 6 PCs at once

Pain

tropic herald
#

Yakpung picked up

#

Pog

hot heart
#

Huh

#

By who

#

@tropic herald

next mesa
#

nyxl

#

rumored though

hot heart
#

Hmm

#

Okay

#

Backup MT?

#

Idk how good yakpung is

next mesa
#

no

#

another rumor is mano isgetting traded

stone sentinel
#

quick question, how often is overwatch league?

raw ermine
#

currently the offseason

#

It usually resumes in February

#

But rumor has it that it will be pushed back to accommodate ow2

silk frost
#

bro if NYXL pick up Yakpung they're definitely going budget

iron crater
#

Is contenders still happening?

solar bison
#

I think so

#

The finals are finishing up

tropic herald
#

You guys acting like Yakpung isn’t top 3 MT out of Korean contenders

fringe laurel
#

Wait. Someone cares about contenders? Impossible

tropic herald
raw ermine
#

he won s1 2020 with o2

silk frost
#

he's good

#

but the best OW players to pick up are OWL free agents imo

edgy tinsel
#

You guys acting like Yakpung isn’t top 3 MT out of Korean contenders
@tropic herald Who else besides mag could be argued better?

silk frost
#

Muze?

edgy tinsel
#

haven't watched much contenders

#

at all

tropic herald
#

I’d say MuZe Mag and Yakpung are the top 3 MTs

#

Also get the notion out of you head that Yakpung is the same as we saw him on Toronto

tidal ridge
#

do you guys think hooreg could get signed

edgy tinsel
#

i didn't pay attention to toronto after stage 1 s2

tidal ridge
#

as a coach

edgy tinsel
#

and he was actually decent then

tropic herald
#

I’ve just seen a lot of people think Yakpung has stagnated in tendies

#

And it’s annoying Bc he’s been slapping on O2

#

So I think this is a good move for NY

tidal ridge
#

i thought o2 blast wasnt that great

tropic herald
#

O2 won season 1

#

But then got dominated by RunAway who nearly won season 2

#

So O2 is certainly not bad

tidal ridge
#

i want boston to do something

tropic herald
#

I think Boston is doing stuff

#

There was some player that Lori RTed

tidal ridge
#

if HuK is there they're still 20th

#

he RTed im37

#

lol

tropic herald
#

I think IM37 was pretty decent

#

I didn’t pay attention to him in tendies

hot heart
#

Hmm

tropic herald
#

So I can’t comment on if he got better or worse

hot heart
#

If NYXL pickup Yakpung

#

Who would be their new OT

tropic herald
#

Cr0ng maybe

hot heart
#

Cr0ng didnt get re-signed by Charge?

tidal ridge
#

mano nooooooo

tropic herald
#

I don’t believe he got re signed

#

But even if he did

#

trading

tidal ridge
#

which team has the most people from the original roster announcement

tropic herald
#

Also Guangzhou supposedly traded Shu off to Glads so it wouldn’t be out of the blue either

hot heart
#

Shu to glads

#

That's a huge move

tropic herald
#

Mano PepeLa

hot heart
#

If glads can get a good MS

#

And better coaching

plush grail
#

which team has the most people from the original roster announcement
@tidal ridge for sure not the titans

tropic herald
#

Who got MCD

hot heart
#

They'll do great next year

tropic herald
#

I forgot

tidal ridge
#

LMFAO

#

definitely titans

hot heart
#

Who got MCD
@tropic herald
Idk

#

I think someone mentioned dallas picking him Up

#

But idk

tidal ridge
#

THREE FLEX SUPPORTS?

#

sounds like dallas

tropic herald
#

Oh

#

It’s Spark

#

Spark got MCD

tidal ridge
#

they signed him?

tropic herald
#

Haven’t made a tweet yet

#

But wait for one

weak bolt
#

Spark are rumoured to have MCD yeah

tidal ridge
#

me waiting for jjanu and stitch tweets

tropic herald
#

If you want to know what’s happening before it happens

#

Just follow Halo

plush grail
#

so dallas is just getting element mystic together again

tidal ridge
#

uprising halo?

tropic herald
#

He is pretty accurate

#

No

tidal ridge
#

wait

#

LOL

tropic herald
#

Halo of Thoughts

plush grail
#

but dallas also bought a different top tier team in s1

#

that didn't end well

#

it'll be fun to see dallas mess up a goated roster

weak bolt
#

Dunno if S1 Dallas would be considered top tier

plush grail
#

team envy were considered some of the best

tidal ridge
#

JJANU AND STITCH PLEASE

next mesa
#

well they bought a top tier

#

envy

#

just like dynasty got lunatic hai

#

def was top tier

#

but then FUCKIGN CRASHED

solar bison
#

Yep

#

I dont think dynasty made playoffs once in s1

next mesa
#

I forgot

#

either that or barely squeezed in and lost first round

solar bison
#

Yeah

weak bolt
#

Dallas also chucked a hand grenade into their roster in the form of xqc

solar bison
#

Definitely didn’t finish second in the league

#

Yep

#

Didnt xqc get banned, unbanned, and banned again

weak bolt
#

yeah

solar bison
#

Rip

next mesa
#

although honestly when he was actually playing, he was good

weak bolt
#

7 matches of Stage 1, and then 4 more matches towards the end

solar bison
#

Yeah

weak bolt
#

They also had the Rascal drama in S1, then the Seagull dva, Taimou winston stuff

solar bison
#

Xqc is a good tank mechanically

#

What happened with rascal?

weak bolt
#

Drama between him and Fuel I believe. It's why Fuel have a reputation for ruining Korean dps, after Rascal, Effect and Decay

solar bison
#

Ahh

#

Well, lets hope they dont screw sparkle

weak bolt
#

Rascal then dropped to Contenders with NRG, joined shock and rest is history

solar bison
#

Speaking of which, have fuel got a hitscan yet?

weak bolt
#

Nope

solar bison
#

Ok

weak bolt
#

They said more announcements tomorrow I believe

solar bison
#

Everyone wants glister or diem to be signed if I remember correctly

earnest leaf
#

I wanna see diem to justice

solar bison
#

Why

#

They have decay

earnest leaf
#

Decay Diem double hitscan

solar bison
#

Mm

earnest leaf
#

Since decay would be their best widow and tracer

#

But if you let decay fuck on tracer while diem pounds on widow

#

then you got something interesting

solar bison
#

I guess decay can do flex dps and diem hitscan

weak bolt
#

Justice likely just keep Decay and Stitch and add a flex

solar bison
#

But what about ttuba and stitch?

#

Probably

#

Whats justice coaching staff looking like?

#

Have there been any changes?

weak bolt
#

Supreme still head coach

solar bison
#

Ok

primal minnow
#

They’ve resigned ttuba pretty sure

weak bolt
#

He only took over late last year so likely given time

solar bison
#

You think he can shape ttuba

#

Into a fleta

weak bolt
#

If Justice have the budget, you keep Ttuba and pick up a high potential flex dps from contenders

solar bison
#

That can work

primal minnow
#

I think they also find another MS

#

Who has a better lucio and brig than ark

solar bison
#

Yeah

#

Chara?

primal minnow
#

Possibly

#

And they keep ark as a mercy specialist

solar bison
#

Yeah

tidal ridge
#

waht if fielder is so used to high ping hes bad

solar bison
#

I said that a while back

weak bolt
#

I'm curious where Mano is going

tidal ridge
#

did you?

#

mb

solar bison
#

Lots of teams need main tank

weak bolt
#

Somebody is paying the big bucks for him

solar bison
#

High chance of a pick up

#

Though with the Fielder ping, it could happen

tidal ridge
#

all i want justice to do is to re-sign jjanu and stitch

solar bison
#

I remember levy jehong saying that if dallas lost a map cuz of fielder he’d laugh

weak bolt
#

Justice will keep Jjanu and Stitch, it's just going to be a discussion on salary

tidal ridge
#

"We see a sub from the Fuel here, Rapel in for Fielder"

solar bison
#

Fielder can play on korean servers before he goes to team home and he does have time to adjust to 2 ping

weak bolt
#

A player isn't going to get worse having less ping

#

Especially with like 4+ months of off season

next mesa
#

decay better widow than diemÉ

#

?*

#

doubt but I guess it's close

primal minnow
#

I think diem is more consistent

next mesa
#

they aer both superstar top tier level

tidal ridge
#

Where is diem going?

solar bison
#

Maybe

hot heart
#

Hmm

primal minnow
#

Nobody knows

solar bison
#

We dont know

primal minnow
#

People want him to go Dallas

tidal ridge
#

Oh I thought you guys were talking about him because of rumors

solar bison
#

Yeah

hot heart
#

Where would mano fit in

solar bison
#

Not dallas

tidal ridge
#

I would love diem to go to Dallas

weak bolt
#

Houston for Mano 😄

next mesa
#

mano will def get picked up dont worry

solar bison
#

Maybe Houston

hot heart
#

Yeah

#

But

solar bison
#

For mano

next mesa
#

mano prob number 3 or 4 main tank

earnest leaf
#

mano to toronto

#

ez

solar bison
#

Nah

hot heart
#

Bro

solar bison
#

Actually could happen

#

Though

hot heart
#

If that happens

tidal ridge
#

@next mesa what are the ranks

primal minnow
#

I was going to say either glads or toronto

earnest leaf
#

what teams could he currently go to

hot heart
#

Idek

next mesa
#

idk just my opinion but

earnest leaf
#

Outlaws maybe

solar bison
#

1 obviously mirror

weak bolt
#

Mano was top 3 in 2019, but 2020 he wasn't that high

solar bison
#

Yeah

#

NYXL made him look bad

hot heart
#

I think im 2020 he showed some crazy moments

#

I remember his ball during ball zarya meta

tidal ridge
#
  1. smurf with crusty
  2. smurf
  3. smurf without coaching
  4. bronze smurf
hot heart
#

It was fucking nasty

solar bison
#

Yeah

hot heart
#

So

next mesa
#

Smurf/Fearless interchangeable then mano/sado probably

weak bolt
#

Glads would be interesting, and we know they are spending money

solar bison
#

After getting rolled by chengdu

next mesa
#

super in there

hot heart
#

I still tnink mano is a top mt

tidal ridge
#

imagine a doomfist meta after philly drops chipsy

hot heart
#

At worst Top 5

weak bolt
#

Mano, Space, Birdring, Kevster, Shu + 1 MS

solar bison
#

Lol

hot heart
#

Or top 6

next mesa
#

Mano is like the only consistent player in nyxl tbh

#

this season

solar bison
#

Yeah

hot heart
#

Yeah

#

NYXL's squad from 2020 would have rolled in 2019

#

Not rolled

solar bison
#

With good coaching and coordination

#

Maybe

hot heart
#

But like

#

Did really well

solar bison
#

Yeah

next mesa
#

their team is always stacked on paper

hot heart
#

Yeah

next mesa
#

dude like adding haksal to an alreadystacked team

hot heart
#

When they added haksal

#

I was like

solar bison
#

Historically NYXL does good

hot heart
#

This is it

tidal ridge
#

NYXL is probably the most consistent team

solar bison
#

No

tidal ridge
#

of OWL

weak bolt
#

NYXL are always good, but never really exceptional

solar bison
#

Shock

#

Always win

hot heart
#

But then they never really moved onto that next level

tidal ridge
#

shock season 1?

#

lol

hot heart
#

They were never at Shock/SHD/Phi level

solar bison
#

Oh

#

League history

hot heart
#

But they were close

solar bison
#

Thought you meant s3

weak bolt
#

NYXL have been top of the mid table for 2019/2020, but out of the running for top tier

tidal ridge
#

#1 season 1
#3 season 2
#7 season 3

solar bison
#

Imagine nyxl in the finals

tidal ridge
#

NYXL always chokes in the playoffs

#

they were barely able to beat chengdu

solar bison
#

Big time

hot heart
#

Seoul are the opposite of NYXL in that sense

solar bison
#

Yeah

next mesa
#

nah historically nyxl is really fricking good

hot heart
#

Their regular season was middling

next mesa
#

top teams in 1st and 2nd

hot heart
#

And playoffs were insane

solar bison
#

Flop in regular season and gods in playoffs

next mesa
#

but like playoffs

#

a bit bad

#

although last year

#

they got third place

tidal ridge
#

seoul didnt deserve grand finals

hot heart
#

I still have hope for NYXL

solar bison
#

True

#

Seoul was like Washington

hot heart
#

Nah

tidal ridge
#

washington didnt deserve 3rd place in the NA playoffs

solar bison
#

But not as bad

tidal ridge
#

they didnt even deserve to against the san frnacisco shock

solar bison
#

No

hot heart
#

I think seoul genuinely had more flexibility

solar bison
#

They deserve grand finals

primal minnow
#

They just were able to have a loop hole in the rules

hot heart
#

And were really good during the playoffs

#

Yes the meta was very different from what we've previously seen

primal minnow
#

It specified that if they didn’t have enough eligible players to travel they could sign someone, so they did.

solar bison
#

We talking about seoul

tidal ridge
#

who was not elgible to travel?

hot heart
#

But seoul put in the effort

tidal ridge
#

eligible

hot heart
#

And they did well

tidal ridge
#

rOar?

solar bison
#

Lulshish

primal minnow
#

I think it was lullish?

hot heart
#

How did they not deserve playoffs

tidal ridge
#

what

next mesa
#

how did seoul not deserve grand finals

solar bison
#

The sweadish guy

next mesa
#

they beat charge nyxl dragons philly

solar bison
#

Yeah

#

Philly got rolled

hot heart
#

You could say meta was weird

primal minnow
#

I think mop was referring to washington

#

When he said they didn’t deserve to go against the shock

hot heart
#

But not seoul did badly / didnt deserve top 4

primal minnow
#

Or they*

#

Or she*

tidal ridge
#

technically seoul shouldve been able

solar bison
#

Dragons unlucky

weak bolt
#

Seoul were 11th overall in season. They would have had to go through Play-ins originally

tidal ridge
#

but they were so shit in the regular season and they just started trying during the playoffs

solar bison
#

They lose to seoul the 1 time it matters

tidal ridge
#

soit doesnt seem like they give a shit

hot heart
#

Well

next mesa
#

@weak bolt not this season either way though because of regions

solar bison
#

Did you hear what bren said about gesture

#

And how he shows up for playoffs because of the bag

weak bolt
#

yeah this season gave Seoul, and Justice, and oppurtunity to shine in playoffs

tidal ridge
#

they dont care about OWL

solar bison
#

It was 1-2 months ago

tidal ridge
#

they just care about money

#

yeah i heard

solar bison
#

I thought it was funny

next mesa
#

gesture best hog

tidal ridge
#

its funny but it shows how little they give a shit about their team

next mesa
#

maybe super

weak bolt
#

Gesture shows up to big games because it's the type of player he is, same as Profit. They thrive on the pressure by looks of it

solar bison
#

I know

weak bolt
#

Happens in all sports, some players just always perform a step up in big games

solar bison
#

It was just brens theory

next mesa
#

they're probably already stacked from the season 1 W

#

this theory kinda sus

solar bison
#

I know

#

Its bren we are talking about

#

The guy who got 0-7ed in widow 1v1

weak bolt
#

Bren also blames Gestures normal matches on a girl in a flowershop, so I'd not listen to his views

solar bison
#

I know

#

It just humors me

weak bolt
#

I just got 300 OWL tokens from Dallas for answering "Houston Outlaws" when they asked for a Halloween joke lol

solar bison
#

Really

#

I mean, you arent wrong

weak bolt
#

Yeah, they've been handing out codes on twitter, figured I'd take a chance and it paid off

solar bison
#

Nice

#

I feel like boston houston and houston dallas rivalries are all acceptable

#

Dallas Houston cuz of texas

tidal ridge
#

i love rivalries between teams that suck

solar bison
#

Boston Houston cuz of bottom feeding

#

I rewatched the boston Houston game the other day

hot heart
#

Ez coins

weak bolt
#

OWL has some good rivalries, but then people also get hugely tilted when players trash talk. Can't win

solar bison
#

True

tidal ridge
#

when babybay just finishes fucking, nobody batts an eye. but when lastro says sex big dick, society goes wild

solar bison
#

Well

#

Babybay didnt break rules

gaunt acorn
#

he sure did in cs:go

tidal ridge
#

faze's valorant team is literally just former OWL

raw ermine
#

except for Marved

#

but yeah

#

get akm in there

#

Trill joined his first Valorant team

next mesa
#

They really should tolerate more trash talking

solar bison
#

Yeah

#

But they have to add limits

rich bear
#

got mercy contenders skins 😄

solar bison
#

👍

#

Nice

hot heart
#

Imagine if Mano goes to dallas

raw ermine
#

that is likely i feel

solar bison
#

I dont think so

#

Different playstyles

balmy wolf
#

anyone else not getting the contenders skins, despite watching more than enough contenders?

supple prism
#

i got syms

balmy wolf
#

ive left contenders on in the background for wayy more than 15 hrs and havent got syms or mercy's skins :((

raw ermine
#

They OWP2P account states you must be watching, and not have it minimized in order to gain watch hours

#

check the 2/2 tweet

supple prism
#

can test it all next month when we actually have a decent window of time

sullen berry
#

yeah don't be disappointed if you didn't get sym skin

#

lots of lost time because were 2/3 into the season

#

only crowned KR and Australia Contenders champions during their playoffs

worn falcon
next mesa
#

hmpf

hot heart
#

How has finsi been doing lately

#

Since he won NA Contenders S1 im assuming he's gotten better

digital cloud
#

finsi is a petty decent tank from what I recall

#

like one of the better ones

slow tundra
#

So apparently nano influences deadeye lock speed?

#

Does matrix?

sullen berry
#

matrix what exactly

main marsh
#

esports is so confusing for me

#

no clue how it works

sullen berry
#

tell me what's confusing

#

it doesn't take long to answer any questions

#

So apparently nano influences deadeye lock speed?

@slow tundra yeah

tidal ridge
#

lol

hot heart
#

finsi is a petty decent tank from what I recall
@digital cloud maybe finnsi goes back to paris?

solar bison
#

Redemption arc?

hot heart
#

If they're going EU it could work

solar bison
#

With benbest

#

Previous synergy

hot heart
#

Ye

solar bison
#

And soon and nico

hot heart
#

Not many EU OT's out there to my knowledge

solar bison
#

True

hot heart
#

Like good ones

#

That are FA

#

Maybe you could try and trade for Poko

solar bison
#

Maybo

#

Isnt poko free agent

#

Or is that fury

hot heart
#

Paris def have the money after trading sp9rk1e snd hanbin

#

Idk

solar bison
#

Yeah

#

Paris has to be rich

hot heart
#

Might have been both actually

#

Hmm

solar bison
#

Possibly

#

Maybe not rich, but not poor

hot heart
#

Best roster i could envision for paris is probably Benbest Poko Kevster Eqo

#

What EU MS and FS are FA rn

#

I dont understand why paris dont go mixed

solar bison
#

Some contenders players

hot heart
#

Only way to be a top team in OWL is to at least have a mixed roster

#

Going full western is just gonna end with a mess of a team

#

Some contenders players
@solar bison like who

#

I have 0 knowledge about NA contenders

#

Well

#

Not 0

#

But not much

solar bison
#

I dont know

#

I dont watch contenders either

#

I am just assuming there are decent players in EU contenders

tawdry hamlet
#

hot take

#

dreamer

#

should be dropped from valiant

#

also forgot Toronto dropped agilities

#

we love dropping top tier na dps Sadge

#

Pain

hot heart
#

Pain

silk frost
#

Still won more playoff series than Houston

hot heart
#

How much has washington even made

silk frost
#

Plenty considering a 3rd place in NA

hot heart
#

Yeah

#

But

#

Pre-playoffs

silk frost
#

255 overall

#

5k before playoffs

hot heart
#

3rd placs earnings are 250k arent they?

#

Thats crazy

#

Imagine paying 20 Mil buy in

#

And earning 5k

silk frost
#

The 5k they earned was summer showdown, they won round 1

hot heart
#

The shock have made 3.3 million dollars and were sponsored by Marvel studios and Star wars

#

Million

#

Lmao

silk frost
#

Almost flipped lol

hot heart
#

3.3 billion is what supers bank account is lookin like

tidal ridge
#

how the hell has washington justice won 255k

#

HOLY SHIT THATS ALL FROM PLAYOFFS?

hot heart
#

Yes?

balmy wolf
#

they got 3rd place in na playoffs

#

so they made a bit of cash

hot heart
#

Yeah

#

Really isn't much in the grand scheme of things

#

That reminds me

#

How much have philly and Shanghai earned

#

960K for shanghai

#

1 mil for philly

#

Shock really just said yoink

tidal ridge
#

shock has earned millions

#

i wonder how the money is divided

balmy wolf
#

i think players contracts get a percentage of earnings from tournaments

tidal ridge
#

ye

tawdry hamlet
#

almost every team has had one big win that got them 20k or more except like chengdu and one or two others

#

I think even defiant has a summer showdown finish 3rd place

#

crazy

upper niche
#

Houston

#

Dallas?

#

Wait what, Houston went 7-3 in Season 1 stage 1?!

tidal ridge
#

Dallas got money from the inaugaral season

upper niche
#

It's not much money

tidal ridge
#

10th place money so 50k

#

they have more than Toronto

upper niche
#

lol. 50k. So... 25k goes to the players.. split 8-12 ways...

#

Congrats, here's a $2k bonus.

tidal ridge
#

i mean

#

id take a 2 grand bonus

upper niche
#

I dunno man, what's the catch? 😄

earnest leaf
#

Oh those winnings are taxed too

#

So not even 2k

#

Funnily enough, someone on shock would be taxed more heavily than someone on philly for example for their prize winnings, more likely atleast

upper niche
#

depending on income tax brackets, yeah.

#

oh no, I just realised I'm sure there's more than one player in OWL that would be stupid enough to believe that earnings would tip them "in to anotehr tax bracket" and "cause them to earn less" as though their entire income is taxed at that higher rate.

tawdry hamlet
#

mmm idk maybe

#

in comms check the teams always seem so friendly and chill

#

like I think of colorhex as a nervous shit dps but then on comms he sounds normal and in my head I am like oh yeah they are all chill lol

#

just seems to friendly to fuck up

#

but then again

#

Boston 👀

edgy tinsel

to be fair

we dont have owl, owc, or any other events going on rn

#

there shouldn't really be an issue

cobalt spoke

Conteders was live for like the past 2 or so days in a row

edgy tinsel

okay? is it live now?

i specifically said "going on rn"

A. Since Dallas has a lot of passionate fans, after 3 years, ill make it so that we can finally win something. Ill make the best version of Dallas you've ever seen ```

this hurts LOL

Haha

Sigma one trick

raw ermine

ahaha "I'll make it so that we can final win something"

solar bison

Seems about right

OWC is live

next mesa

what are these titles dude

solar bison
#

Hurricane, please obey

#

I dont understand

#

Is that a reference to something i dont know?

raw ermine
#

Hurricane =british hurricanes
Obey=Obey Alliance

next mesa
#

yeah I understood that

#

the title is just

#

idk

solar bison
#

Oh

#

Weird title nonetheless

digital cloud
#

wrong channel

weak bolt
#

Hurricane look pretty clean. Be interesting if London just picks them all up

hot heart
#

I think london fans would love that

#

And they probably will seen as they promoted hurricanes GM To Londons GM

weak bolt
#

If they dont promote them, I suspect other teams would poach some of them anyway

hot heart
#

Hmm

#

Depends on if london are willing to spend

weak bolt
#

I think they'd need to add a few more to the roster for sure though. Ripa/Kellex as your support line won't be good enough for OWL just like that

hot heart
#

Yeah

#

A mix of hurricane and OWL FA is optimal

#

Kruise could join Spitfire

weak bolt
#

Kruise, and an experienced EU DPS/Tank would likely be enough

next mesa
#

to be mediocre? GWmustaSmug

I find it crazy how a lot of the highest ladder players like Finnsi aren't actually like in league, I get league is a higher tier than ladder but like this dude peaked at 4738 that is high as fuck like give da man a team or a tryout pls

valid oxide
#

Wasn't Finnsi in the league for a bit?

#

I believe under Valiant or Eternal

gaunt acorn
#

still haven't gotten either contenders skin

#

they added that 🟢 to indicate drops are working, yet it's false

tropic herald
#

@valid oxide both

gaunt acorn
#

thank you blizzard

tawdry hamlet
#

Same like deadass

#

I don't want to clear my cookies either because im signed in to like 60 accounts that I don't want to resign into

#

And the green dot is on and I've watched 2 or 3 of this 9 hour streams and haven't got shit

#

So idk man

karmic grotto

@gaunt acorn same

#

Still waiting

#

Freaking liars

weak bolt
#

Do you have it on a background window etc or not primary focus? Saw bunch of people saying that caused issues for them

tawdry hamlet
#

no

#

I full screened it for like 9 hours because I was going to sleep anyway

#

main monitor all that

#

I don't care that much it is just a skin but I have ocd about collecting any limited skin before it is gone lmaoo

Just feels like whatever tracking method they use is being blocked a lot by either browsers or plugins etc.

👍

Cockwave

edgy tinsel
#
  • Jofi
#

Get jofi back and it'll be complete

tidal ridge
#

I think it is very possible that Shockwave gets signed to London

next mesa
#

He's already resigned on titans

#

Right

#

Or am I trippin

tidal ridge
#

You're trippin

#

Shredlock Dalton Roolf

#

All got re-signed

raw ermine
#

those 3 got re-signed

#

carcar,tsuna, and ksaa are fa

#

and shock is team option

tidal ridge
#

do you guys think ksaa has a chance

raw ermine
#

He was the 2nd best part of titans

#

I think he could be good

tidal ridge
#

He was the best for a bit

raw ermine
#

especially without ping

#

yeah

tidal ridge
#

KSAA to London would be kinda cool

raw ermine
#

when shock wasn't there

tidal ridge
#

but KSAA would need to travel

#

but he was still good on 200ms

#

like Fielder

next mesa
#

Oh mb

tidal ridge
#

why did titans re-sign shredlock

#

dalton was decent and roolf is the comms leader

#

but shredlock???

raw ermine
#

Canada probably

@raw ermine tldr for me? lmao

raw ermine
#

pfft

#

I didn't read

tropic herald
#

The same one

#

It’s the one from April

raw ermine
#

I think he said something like

next mesa
#

oh

#

all I know is

#

redshell is messed up

tropic herald
#

Redshell: is it okay to be a pedo? Asking for a friend doe

next mesa
#

yeah

#

nothing sexual doe not like mouffin haha he's such a loser

hot heart
#

The redshell one wasnt unexpected

solar bison
#

Yeah

hot heart
#

I think he was outed a few months before hand

solar bison
#

Redshell is a comedian

true hound
#

redshell kinda weirdchamp especially him deleting messages from group dm

hot heart
#

Yeah

true hound
#

and then threatening lawsuit man is digging his own grave

hot heart
#

Bro

#

Idk man

#

I just hate that shit like this happens

#

But it does

#

Anyway

#

I feel like xzi might go to spark

#

If i had to pick a team other than NYXL

#

It would be the spark

balmy wolf
#

xzi said he was going to a yankee team

#

well see tho

next mesa
#

yankee team?

#

what that mean

#

uh

#

dont watch baseball

tropic herald
#

American

hot heart
#

So

#

A team in NA

tropic herald
#

Probably New England

#

So NY

balmy wolf
#

however he said on stream it wasnt NY

tropic herald
#

Boston

hot heart
#

Or a team representing NA

#

Hmm

balmy wolf
#

houston maybe

tropic herald
#

Xzi Boston

hot heart
#

Not NYXL

tropic herald
#

Hmmm

#

Dallas

#

Houston

hot heart
#

If he goes to houstan that would be huge

tropic herald
#

Atlanta

balmy wolf
#

shock is off the table for him, xzi also said no to dallas

silk frost
#

houston

hot heart
#

Hmm

tropic herald
#

Dogman is probably ending up in Houston

hot heart
#

Houstan Atlanta

balmy wolf
#

glads too is open

silk frost
#

to specify, Yankee is north

hot heart
#

Houstan probably pays more

tropic herald
#

So Xzi Boston

next mesa
#

I don't get why he just didn't go to dallas tbh

balmy wolf
#

because they didnt want him

#

simple as that

next mesa
#

why

#

who wouldn't want xzi

silk frost
#

North US teams:
-Washington debatably
-Boston
-New York
-Philly

hot heart
#

Why wouldnt they want him

balmy wolf
#

budget

#

ironically

silk frost
#

Philly is the most likely imo

next mesa
#

who's better than xzi

tropic herald
#

Diem Dallas

hot heart
#

Yeah

tropic herald
next mesa
#

okay probably diem

#

but diem would also want a nice fat contract

balmy wolf
#

i think dallas is looking at contenders or looking for cash trade

tropic herald
#

Who says that

silk frost
#

Philly

tropic herald
#

He gets to play with Sparkle Doha Fielder Hanbin and Rap

#

Rápelo

#

Ok

hot heart
#

I think philly has the money and his heropool works well in double hitscan meta

next mesa
#

dallas is looking at contenders

#

envy is looking to win

hot heart
#

Like a double sniper meta

next mesa
#

dallas is like envy's shame child rn

#

envy is popping off in every other esports

hot heart
#

Or tracer widow

silk frost
#

they might replace Carpe

tropic herald
#

Can all the teams that have supposed signings please just announce them

#

I would like that very much

next mesa
#

I wouldn't even start xzi over carpe

#

like

hot heart
#

If they replace carpe

next mesa
#

it depends on the days

tropic herald
#

Also who got Mano

hot heart
#

That wohld be crazy i think

tropic herald
#

Did anyone ever figure that out

hot heart
#

But

#

Not impossible

next mesa
#

nah

hot heart
#

TORB CONTENDERS SKIN

#

imma need that

next mesa
#

dont know who got mano yet

#

as far as im concerned

hot heart
#

I think if mano changed up his playstyle a bit

#

He'd have more options

#

But he's still insanely talented

next mesa
#

he's still like

#

top 5 man

hot heart
#

Ye

#

Where would he fit in

next mesa
#

dont know

hot heart
#

I think if rush can teach him to be more aggressive

#

Maybe dalllas

next mesa
#

he could replace a lot of mts

hot heart
#

But that's a big if

next mesa
#

mmhmm

#

I think one of the main reasons why he can't be aggressive in nyxl is because

#

jjonak and haksal

#

they take all the resources

hot heart
#

All eyes ok dallas rn tbh

next mesa
#

I mean didn't fissure explain it

hot heart
#

*on

#

That MT role is gonna be unbelievably important

next mesa
#

anamo is the mom with the milk bottle

#

trying to decide which child to feed haksal or jjonak

#

and mano is the starving kid on the ground

#

or something

hot heart
#

I think one of the main reasons why he can't be aggressive in nyxl is because
@next mesa yeah that could be part of the reason

#

and mano is the starving kid on the ground
Pain

#

Imagine if dallas just pickup Unique and Mano

#

That would be insane

next mesa
#

is he the best main support available

#

I dont follow contenders

hot heart
#

I think yeah

#

Like from what ive heard

#

He's insanely talented

#

Id imagine Washington are trying to sign him too

silk frost
#

I remember hearing a rumor that Mano goes to a team with Shu

#

don't remember which team tho

hot heart
#

Halo "confirmed" shu was going to glads

#

OGE is FA

#

So

#

Mano could go to glads

#

And that rumour that you heard could make sense

solar bison
#

Mano to glads?

#

Insane

#

But they do need a main tank

hot heart
#

Yeah

#

Putting the pieces together 5head

#

I jsut watched the whole thing

#

it's honestly sad

digital cloud
#

philly actually had hope cool guy

#

we were never even able to be disappointed

#

we had nothing to expect in the first place

balmy wolf
#

being at the cusp of being champions and not making it is worse than never being close to greatness in the 1st place

hot heart
#

Yeah

#

Hmm

#

I feel like if philly can make an addition at dps

#

They'll be perfect

#

someone more flexible

digital cloud
#

I mean sure carpe and heesu are trash

hot heart
#

What

digital cloud
#

but they aren

#

aren't that bad*

balmy wolf
#

i think their perfectly fine

hot heart
#

Yeah

balmy wolf
#

they just read the meta wrong hard

hot heart
#

But they arent flexible

balmy wolf
#

like they got the comp right, but played it wrong

hot heart
#

I think NineK will fix that solution

#

But it might be a player problem too

next mesa
#

how is carpe and heesu bad

hot heart
#

Thry aren't

supple prism
#

if anything, sado is the weakest but even he is still good

tawdry hamlet
#

You said houston never had hope but they had two top tier na dps

#

Not really great team but Linkzr and Danteh are both insane

#

Sadge regardless

silk frost
#

Bro Sado may be their best piece

#

Either him or Alarm

tawdry hamlet
#

Carpe and Heesu aren't bad, Carpe just lacks any diversity in hero pool, I can't think of anything he's particularly good at other than widow

#

And Heesu is relatively top tier in tracer afaik

supple prism
#

mccree

#

he also plays tracer

silk frost
#

His widow is his specialty

earnest leaf
#

Carpe is a solid hitscan, can play cree/ashe/widow/tracer

hidden vault
echo quest
#

He never was

#

His twitlonger is a weird clusterfuck

hot heart
#

Um

#

Imagine if out of the blue

#

Washington sign him

#

Power move

#

Mag Jjanu Rascal decay

#

That would be beyond insane

karmic grotto
#

Hmmm

#

But they have ttuba

#

I don't ttuba isn't bad. In my view, he meshes better with Justice than Rascal would

#

On a side note, I haven't received mercy or Symmetra skin

#

This is bs

formal crystal
sour magnet
#

Wait

#

Did you just say carpe lacks a hero pool?

#

He legitimately plays every sniper

#

He plays widow cree tracer hanzo

#

Ashe

#

The best sniper on his team and for 70%+ of this season he was needed

uneven glade
#

whoever said carpe lacks hero pool has not watched a single match of his XD

#

carpe has touched every hero at a top level
