Nooo
If glads reunite Rascal and Birdring I have to be a fan
This is pretty credible
jerry to nyxl kinda makes sense I guess
They do need a hitscan, right?
jerry is a hitscan
He was an offtank when they signed him, then made him a hitscan
bruh im following halo
In regards to Shanghai losing Fearless, my understanding is that they are attempting to sign Pan-Seung "Fate" Koo from the Florida Mayhem.
Shanghai HC Moon has wanted to reunite with him since last off season, Florida said no then but with them signing MuZe, deal might happe...
177
I dont think so
Yeah, Jerry to xl probs
Fate might be a better orisa
hanbin is definitely the second best
other than that no
like this is a top 2 tankline
Yeah
yeah but orisa isn't good anymore
Fearless's orisa is decent
You never know the meta
All tank lines should have a good rein winston orisa and ball
his rein might be super tier and his winston as well
yeah idk about his ball
honestly
stand1 played ball
its just synergy
yeah ig
his ball
maybe stand1 better played with the team on hog
but I thought they looked stronger with the hog sigma using fearless
honestly the only way this team meets expectations
surely fearless has a good enough ball to flex over if he has to
Is grand finals
they also could have just switched MT's in and out like shock did
the shock switched super, smurf and choi in and out looked well coordinated
imo
if shanghai did that with fearless hog in the upper bracket bit they would've faired better
yeah Sadge
if you're Jerry the only way you can go is up lol
he might actually be on a good team
who is pelican?
well he was
dps from o2blast
sorry i meant flex supprt*
pelican was an 02 blast dps
i see
idk much about pelican since I don't watch contendies to but 02 blast are a good team afaik
They won s1 of this year
also what do you think shock are planning if they sign kevster?
Who said that?
someone else leaked it
link?
The same source that predicted all the dallas signing sand mano to fusion
says kevster to shock apparently
Well then
yeah I can't find the link at all now
Im gonna assume it might actually be true if thats the case now
shock need a projectile
They do
ta1yo is more hs
Kevster cant play a top tier doom tho
Kevster isnt top tier
He's good
But not there yet
Under crusty that would change
Crusty can make anything top tier
Ye
Thank Mr. Crusty
idk what Taiyo's purpose is anymore
Hmm
I assume he's a backup HS or a replacement because Ans or Striker want out
crusty only signs players he thinks he can make top tier
Yeah
Yeah that man has a gigabrain on him
Honestly if they get kevster
no one is on his wavelength
I can see him being a top dps next year
When i think of kevster i think of somone with insane potential under a great coach
And just like
dude now they have like 4 hitscans
with 2 of them being able to play a bit of projectile
like just assuming
Idk why ta1yo is on shock if they do sign kevster
Idk man they should sign a fullprojectile
I think they could probably have Taiyo transition to a projectile and make it work
but that's a risk
no one does
You just gotta see how it plays out with crusty
You know its gonna go incredibly well
But like
ta1yo got obliviated by viol2t in 1v1
How he goes about doing stuff you cant really predict i think
Viol2t is a god gamer
wait no by ans
I dont even wanna try predict who Shock should sign until we know who is even leaving
that's also not a surprise
I think at this point
Shock are fucking flooded with good players
Probably one person left thats gonna leave
I think super stays until atleast the 3peat
For all we know, Shock could lose Moth to LAG, Smurf to SHD, Viol2t to Dynasty
doubt
dragons already signing a main tank
Especially smurf
fate
yeah Dragons are going for Fate
Who knows any more, I wouldnt have put money on Dragons selling Fearless
that also only leaves a whole at MS for Shock
considering they'd still have super and twilight
Viol2t could happen but that all depends on what crusty wants to do with the FS role
they'd need backups
there's rumors at least
but they'd still be top tier
Jerry LFT too, wtf is going on
Pain
and MCD to Hangzhou? 😮
I'm hopeful that Jerry gets a team better than Boston
I dunno how to even rate Jerry. Is he good, is he ok, is he just popular because he was a meme
Did Jerry ever play on EM? That may define his future 😄
I think he was overrated
But he was really popular in terms of memes
He had bis moments
he isn't bad tho and he can have some moments
*his
if he had a better team he could shine I reckon
I dont see who'd sign him
Toronto would be like the only team I'd think, but they said they're aiming to win
ta1yo says
he rotates his sens every week
dude crusty should beat some sense in this man
Honestly Taiyo should have have some sense beaten into him by Crusty after he saw his crosshair
who needs sens when you have that crosshair
today is gauntlet?
No Jerry no win
Today was a date mentioned in a video mentioning Gauntlet. What it means, nobody has a clue
Could be today they confirm a gauntlet in 2021 for all we know
yeah
What if, Gauntlet is used to find 3 or 4 teams to beef up the APAC division in OWL 😄
There was that rumour a while back of them wanting 3 teams to bolster APAC tournaments
LFT OWL
Discord : Jerry_#7791
I'm free agent now 😁
thank you for all 🙏🙏
105
820
So I guess NYXL haven't picked him up
Update:
Sources have confirmed that the Dallas Fuel and Shangai Dragon's have complete the trade for Main Tank Eui-Seok "Fearless" Lee to join the Dallas Fuel. https://t.co/2MTLkq3Imh
477
I’m guessing they were talking about this yesterday.
Is yakpung even good
Also if boston were money hungry pigs this year they would have SOLD jerry, not RELEASED him
Listen dude that was like a week ago
Rheyne with the leaks
Listen dude that was like a week ago
@silk frost yeah we don't talk about it
Apparently the same person that said mano to fusion
When someone said "this wasn't even the juiciest move" I said something like "yeah probably fearless" as a meme
Yknow what I bow to Reyne
What’s the twitter user?
Idk
Then I predicted it yesterday
I don’t get why glads would do that though
Cash
Rheyne = halo
Rheyne = literally everyone
Why would shock want kevster?
Cause he’s insane
They have ans and taiyo tho
Both play mostly hitscan
If Kevster goes anywhere it'll be Boston
Gimme another team he could go to then
Houstan
That sounds way more aggressive than I intended it to lol
Lmao
Houston maybe actually
They have 0 hitscan
Theyd be insane
I mean kevster on the Outlaws sounds ultimately cursed
Naw dude boston kevster makes way more sense to me
Houston'll probably be like #20 next year
its online
why

Jerry to Dallas would be hilarious, I hope for that
What if they just go fuck it and sign Edison
Or erster
they should sign diem and then sign like
the best tracer player available
in contenders
like idk who
ace
Tell me what's wrong with the sentence above^
:)
sadge jerry
Wb nene
What are these rumours that Jjonak is trialing for HZ, GZC and Dynasty lol
Wouldn't be suprised if NYXL is rebuilding
they failed to win 3 years now
JJ is no longer the best flex support
Mano is gone
SBB is kinda washed
I just realised Shredlock and roolf are the only canadian players in OWL
was going to mention them
its a curse
depending on the hitscan and ms obviously like on paper, I think this is the most stacked team
so far
somehow this team already lost a play after 1 day of play
Agilities and Surefour are not in OWL currently
"Inside source"
really narrows it down
at least danye is in OW
depending on the hitscan and ms obviously like on paper, I think this is the most stacked team
@next mesa main tank?
It's leaked to be fearless
Right, I forgot.
They should sign happy for hitscan
He used to be EM
For apex s5 trials
Happy was on that team for 5 games
Obv he's super nice though
But him being EM prob won't take factor
Jjonak rumors trying for different teams
Breaking: jehong joins sbb in nyxl and wins as "old men"
shouldn't the chinese english vodcast be starting now?
for contenders
i thought it would be on https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/contenders/ ?
im seeking the skins :(
allegedly
Why would the best singular player on the role leave? And its and important role too.
Money
Shanghai doesnt have money?
they came 3rd when expecting to come first, and when you're paying an entire rosters worth of MVPs and top level talent, 3rd doesn't bode well.
So make the team worse?
If fearless leaves Shanghai who will Shanghai pick up?
He plays mt?
yeah
Is he good?
he is ok
He didn't play much cause of fearless
played for a lotta NA contenders teams
Shanghai cant afford to take a downgrade in the main tank role
I know this may just sound like more shock praise from me, but the best overall main tank play comes from shock, and super and smurf will mtd stand1 when it comes down to it
Which is why no team can afford to have a bad main tank
im pretty certain super just said moth to glads without saying it
also yeah
moon wants fate
Moth literally just said up his new monitor at his house
Doesnt sound very glads to me
Also someone said that if he was gonna get signed to glads it wouldve happend already
what are you even on about
I'm saying that moth is staying on shock
LMAOOOOOOOO
btw in regards to moth
A crash course in Halo Terminology:
According to sources = Deal is done/virtually done, read wording after.
My understanding = multiple sources but no confirmation of signing.
338
halo is highly reliable
and seeing as this is confirmed by him to virtually be done
I think its true
yeah
https://twitter.com/JaruOW/status/1253130156077539328
https://twitter.com/JaruOW/status/1320071094875779072
I feel like these are connected...
He left doge?
Hybrid hasn't tho
I'm a shock fanboy and even I can tell moth is going to glads
which I think is great
cuz glads have never really had the best support line imo
well not recently anyways
Well if you're interested in it nows your time to learn
Off season of OWL
@worldly lichen
If you wanna keep track of rumours of the OWL off season follow Haloofthoughts on twitter
And you can watch a few OW podcasts
My favourite is Platchat
Maybe you'll like that
Jjonak might be vulnerable to a bad deal
Since early 2020 was when they made their first trade deal with Meko
They're not selling players to the same extent Uprising or Shock would
@sullen berry general kenobi?
So
If shu goes to glads
Then jjonak to GZ would make some sense
But even then
Arent there better options?
yeah nyxl wasn't top tier
but joining a different team cause you wanna win
joining GZ isn't it chief
or jjonak might just chase the money like meko
Ye probably
I wont be surprised if jjonak leaves
where ever jjonak goes i go
What do you think power rankings for teams will be with all the rumours and signings
Idk yet
So far I’m going to have to say , Dallas is looking like they’re top three
It looks like things might be more balanced next season?
Like
The bad teams might be less bad, and the good teams might be less good?
I think the good teams will still be good
But that depends on their pick ups and who they drop
Yea
There is still alot of off-season to go
Like there's almost no trash team
Just all mid tier
And then the tier between top and mid
And then top tier
Like for example if the fate rumours are true shanghai are making a missplay
And if moth actually leaves that could be bad
True
But realistically all these top tier teams will stay top tier
Fearless leaving is also not good
Shock Shanghai Philly
Philly with Mano was probably a really smart move
Yeah
Fearless leaving is a problem
Idk what they're thinking with Fate
Unless fate just pulls out a monstrous MT next year
They just downgraded heavily
Imagine if shock released Smurf and went for someone like Karayan
Okay
Maybe not that insane but relatively close
It would fuck shock over if it didnt work out
So im really worried for SHD tbh
In most metas teams are as good as their MT
Where are we placing the glads ?
I’d say they are probably after Seoul and Washington
If Glads get the rumour signings, they are probably 5th/6th ish. I still think their dps line could be a risk with Birdring/Kevster/Mirror
Yeah
Rascal goes to Glads
Like you just have to be a Glads fan at that point
That would be insane
But what does their MT situation look like rn
Since the mano thing didnt turn out to be correct
Who do they pick up
You just cant stress the main tank role enough
Yeah
Gladiators Sado 
Eh
We've seen teams with trash dps do well but never teams with trash main tanks
Glads Super 
super wont leave shock
Smurf cant leave shock
As long as super and Smurf are a constant other main tanks will tremble in fear
Watching the Shock comms video from finals, their English is pretty crazy. I think any player could join that team
yeah even the quieter players when they do speak, use great english
Super is gonna replace rascal at flex dps
Shock should just get the wallet out and buy Fleta
Wait wasn't Jerry on the defiant?
I'm curious, do we think there is a chance of S4 owl without Jjonak next year?
Jjonak is washed
He might go to another team but leave it entirely? Idk
Yeah I think he'll still be around next season
I'm thinking more if another team trials him but doesnt actually want him. Do nyxl try drive his salary down to a much smaller amount
Find a new team or take 50k per year situation
If nobody picks him they'll probably try
Jjonak is like aimgod but a little better
Really good coaches
And needs to change it up
Jjonak is like aimgod but a little better
@plush light in that his bap and moira are horrendous yeah
His ana is still pretty competitive
His zen can be feedy at times
He needs to step it up
And change it up
It's a positioning and choice making character rather than mechanics.
His bap is poor
Jjonak is bad at bap
I love how nyxl still have 3 players from the original roster and one signed a few months in
With the new changes he might get better because it makes his primary fire used more
his coaches were shit, idk how he hasnt gotten better at him
but either way a team getting jjonak is a win for them
GZC probably have the more potential, but more roster slots to fill as well
HZ already got MCD
Jjonak on another team just sounds so weird
Like your in a parallel universe where everything is normal but jjonak is on a team that isnt NYXL
Ye
Same with mano tbh, him being on Philly feels strange
NYXL currently has 0 players on their roster officially
They going budget?
I reckon they're going budget, or at least a lot cheaper. Probably cutting salaries by a lot
Or going half good players
That's what I'm thinking
I think if they weren't cutting costs on the good players, they'd have renewed already
Yeah
but you can probably heavily reduce cost of sbb, libero, jjonak. I don't think any of those 3 are really vital to the team
Exactly
I think libero would be a good player to keep
Sbb would be decent too
Leadership is really important
But tbh sbb cant keep up anymore
So idk
They were likely on big contracts for 2020 to keep them around for homestands
I bet sbb sold lots of jerseys, tickets to fan greets etc. That's less needed now
Solid point tbh
They also probably know, SBB/Anamo etc wouldnt get on a team elsewhere
So would take a pay cut to keep on the team
I highly suspect all of them were told "We're not going to renew you, but we'll offer you this lower rate. You can either go find another team or accept it".
Wonder how xl fans feel
Latest rumours I saw for him was Florida was a possibility, but then people say he wants a mixed roster
SBB goes with xzi to a team lmao
Why do i have the feeling this is going to be huge
Possibly news on Diem/Eileen, or Team CC I guess
The Chengdu Hunters are expected to sign Team CAT DPS Liu "Kaneki" Nian and Ultra Prime Academy DPS Lei "Jimmy" Yujia
O
L
Pain
Anyway
I know neither of them
Leave Jimmy dps line
Leave jimmy
Best duo name
Leave Jimmy alone
What about Jimmy and Jerry
Jimmy, Jerry and Jjonak
Triple J
on Justice
dont forget Jjanu
Casted by Jake and Jaws
The Jjjjustice Casted by The Jj's
And were out of names with that start with a j
I cant rest now
Lmao
Probably some Chinese contenders team that did subpar but have decent dps
Or contenders trials even
Idk
I dont see them anywhere on Liquipedia, but its sometimes slow on name changes
oh found them, Formed Sept 7th 2020
Searching for Jimmy comes up with someone called Xargon
and Kaneki appears to be a Pharah/Sombra/Tracer/Brig player
Are they like the Chinese equivalent of Team Doge, just a bunch of randomers formed to make some cash with no real org
Has the team won anything?
Chinese open division S4 - 1st
2nd in Contenders 2020 CN Season 2 - Week 3. Lost to Team CC
So they're pretty decent
They made nearly $6k in earnings, so arguably just as much as Houston Outlaws
Honestly i feel that combo would work pretty well
Yeah i mostly think rush could do nenne some real good
Fuel has so many options for hitscan
And they cover tracer meta
Inb4 jerry to dallas
Ffs the Washington Jjjjjustice
Dude has an incredible mei
And a really good tracer
And a really good hanzo if i remember correctly
I'd kinda low key like to see Erster to Shock. Give him some of that Crusty loving
Dude
If erster goes to shock
Honestly could see him being MVP next year
Or some shit
Erster under someone like crusty is insane
Anyone know anything about kaneki/Jimmy?
Fair
Not sure anybody outside of the Chinese contenders scene would do really
Plat chats right, what we gonna do if there's no chengdu zone next season
I'm sure we'll find a team to fill that void
Paris to sign Cloudy and go for the Rein in your backline strat
Im really interested in what defiant is gonna do
What if they go all out
Well they kinda cant since well
Everyone thats top tier has a team
Or is basically in final talks
Defiant are weird. They looked like they wanted to go big, but then either didn;t have as much money as they thought, and in a panic, re-signed Logix
See
I wonder if they'll do what valiant did
And pickup a great coach
And budget players
Or less known players
Question is, is KDG really that good
I reckon that Philly roster last year could have achieved the same by self coaching
Yeah honestly philly had the pieces
They were always gonna be a top team
But
I still attribute some of that success to KDG
Tho that playoff run was disappointing
I reckon Toronto will end up signing 1 or 2 star players, and filling the rest with nobodies
Yeah
Then around half way through the season, they'll ditch half the roster for more
I could honestly see them doing something like signing Sado, then pairing him with Mcgravy
See
I could see them signing mcgravy
Sado Probably doesnt go to defiant
Mcgravy doesnt have many offers probably
Apparently heres current rumors:
-Jerry to NYXL
-Jjonak trials for Hz, Gz, and Seoul
-Glister to Justice
-Kevster to Shock
-Fearless to Fuel
-Shu to Glad
-MCD to Spark
-Sado to Glads (RUMOR)
-Aztac to Justice (RUMOR)
Korean contenders support player
Actually he is on loan to wgs armament from uprising academy
Not true. Remember Persia?
Lol
isn't Roar korean
We dont talk about rOar
Did fissure quit overwatch?
I think he's LFR
*LFT
But im not sure
He def hasnt quit overwatch tho
To my knowledge
fissure didn't quit
Behind like 1987, mcd, and idk who else
we dont know if hes LFT because his twitter is like private
At least we should get some more info next week, with Fri being the extension deadline for a bunch of other contracts
Glister to justice would be 
decay doe
Someone pick up my boy babel
Gister to mayhem
Glister plays better flex than bqb
For things like doom and tracer
glister yaki pog
Babel to Boston pog
All of sf shock to boston
I dont honestly watch much esports but it sucks watching everyone leave. Overwatch is like 5 years old now so people are gonna stop joining the esports because they get good at the game but the game will die within a year and a half or so and need to switch to another game.
Ik the game isn't dead but I think in roughly a year in a half it will start declining or already have been. I haven't been keeping track but I see more esport players leaving rather than joining.
.
Do they get bored of the game or what?
Some go to other games
some are just washed
This year was tough cause of the pandemic so lots of people got dropped
yeah teams are trying to "save" money
I mean hopefully by the time OW2 comes out they aren't restricted to streaming on youtube
cuz twitch had so many more viewers
and youtube sucks ass
also when OW2 comes out OWL will almost definitely get a lot more popularity
Tbh
yeah but surely they didn't sign a multiyear contract
then again they'd have gotten a bag for multiyear
yikes
when it was on Twitch normal midseason games had more viewers than the finals when it's on youtube
shit's rough

To celebrate our 2020 Overwatch League runners-up, here is a collection ...
what a fucking nutty team dude
i missed something here? https://twitter.com/Viol2t_OW/status/1324123298192453632
probs just trolling again
Profit the goat
that was 2 days
Yeah he did lmao
yeah, but i dont know if he was meming or something
instead he flexing his rank 1 and 2 in support
^TLDR: Follow your favourite casters on social media and they're more likely to be re-signed by OWL.
Idk if its true or not, but in case it is follow them
caster/Analysts/hosts
I dunno, looks like just an uber appreciation thread
also, most of the casters are top tier
I miss monte and doa though, despite how crap monte is as a person
imagine getting copyrighted for music, the thing that entirely revolves around using assets in the public domain
I suppose we can sue people for listening to music they haven't bought when someone plays it in public too
well, that aside, can he get back on twitch eventually?
probably yeah
He may struggle, twitch support is pretty awful
Uber will be back. They're just contracted during the season, so free lance during off season
I swear , if glads disappoint again next season cause their main tank ......
They better be signing someone good
rumors say sado
At this point I don’t know if I want to believe the rumours XD
Kevster to shock better not happen
The Justice have declined my option for 2021, we are still in talks for my return but I am open to hearing offers from other teams as I make my future plans. I can be reached at [choul99@naver.com or discord JJANU#6672].
394
Odd
I would have thought jjanu mag would be pretty good
Maybe they sign him on a new deal ?
Can't blame him for asking, there may be oppurtunities he prefers
like Seoul still need an OT right?
yes
Spark may potentially consider him an upgrade over QoQ. Can't blame him for seeing what choices he has
ESPN Esports let go of a bunch of their journalists, wonder if any get involved in the OW scene now
Piggy?
piggy is leaked to houston
I think in all likelihood Jjanu stays at justice, he's just checking what he can get to boost his salary
Guess he is gone
Beast was playing on Oddysey or something last month yeah. Can't blame him, keeps him active rather than just LFT
American Tornado, AKA Tier-2 drama alert
I do love how AT blatantly just memed the BH name
yeah lmao
Hey @Beasthalo, long time no see! We're so excited to announce that we'll be welcoming Beast back for the 2021 season, Pending League Approval! 🙌 #RiseTogether https://t.co/WBXXl1A2Do
995
hey nerds
not all of them
just the bad ones
Bernar, CarCar
Whoru
get Na1st instead anyway
Wait, Toronto sign beast again? Ok they’re going budget too
Also lol at Aero going to coach faze in valorant
Aww shame, would have been amusing
lmao
imagine Aero throwing games for his players in another game
"IM COMING FOR YO CAREER LOMBARDO"
well Faze in valorant is sort of like the fuel
they are better than the tier 2, but trash compared to the rest of tier 1 lol
Even with Corey babybay and some random csgo dude they can't win
Isn't corey apparently like not that good
yeah
It seems all the good snipers in OW are trash
Saya, Corey, probably other ones
cause val is a brain game
not as much of an aim one
for OW hitscan players, it’s a heavy aim and brain game that plays far different than a tac shooter
saya is on omen
he isn't on this game's equivalent of a dps, so I think him being "inconsistent" makes some sense
he isn't always in a position to get frags
not sure what is up with faze though
I am hoping personally they just need experience
They need a lack of Zachary "ZACHAREEE" Lombardo and Shane "Rawkus" Flaherty
Rawkus and zacharee are actually not so bad in Valorant
they and babybay are probably roughly on the same level rn
Corey and Marved are the top two
thats concerning if Corey is one of the best
56 votes and 31 comments so far on Reddit
did y’all see this
Imagine if this was true - Jjonak to dynasty, Shanghai with Viol2t
whoa
Jinmu leaves hunters rip
I feel like seoul doesn't need those players
creative+bdosin is fine
and fits is excellent
yeah hopefully
Moon really do be trying hard for Fate so he probably has his reasons
Moon is almost as gigabrain as crusty
and that's a lot of brain
is it time for glads to give up on dpei ?
I felt like Florida was really good
they were mid table but they were putting up fights
against like shock and shit
that was def a successful season for florida
I still think kuki deserved COTY
they actually had a positive record this time
He took a last place team to 5th?6th? with 2 player signings
granted, they were both really good
Toronto going to blow ass next season bet
I can't possibly fathom a good roster unless they just pull a fuel and pick up everyone's leftovers with large amounts of money
Mr. Logix and beast are barely upper mid tier on their own
And they dumped agilities 
They could always pick up people like dogman or paintbrush I guess but that's still nothing great
yeah
idk why we need beast
maybe he becomes good under KDG?
Maybe alarm told him the secrets to coaching him?
Maybe so, seeing the widow 1v1s just exposed how meh logix is, like he's above dalton and chex but far below top tier hitscan
I guess he's like ksp tier
Hopefully they actually do okay
But with so many teams stacking talent Idk who they could pick up that'd be any good
I am sure they can pick up some na free agents like danteh or something to just make them good
But I wish agilities stayed he was solid dps

He's good at being better than his teammates lmao
But nah he isn't bad he's upper mid definitely above chex and dalton but not amazing by any means
I think apac hitscans in general are just far more consistent
Idk why

no he's not upper mid bro he's like bottom
like he's not bad obviously
but the hitscan role is just stacked
wait lemme get that list
Idk man I don't put him above like fits ans bqb carpe heesu jerry decay edison happy striker sbb xzi birdring lip diem fleta ksp
you can argue with like, maybe jerry and sbb
