weak bolt
#

He might as well play the market a bit, even if he gets 55k instead of 50k, it's a bonus

hot heart
#

I think KSF might go to Toronto

#

KSF Logix dps line sounds decent

raw ermine
#

yeah

#

not bad

hot heart
#

You need star power tho

#

So maybe pick ksf up

#

Then like

raw ermine
#

Nero

hot heart
#

They dont have the cash

#

And he definitely has other offers

#

But if they could

#

Yeah

#

Nero would be amazing

weak bolt
#

Elo Hell has parted ways with the inventor of esports

tawdry hamlet
#

I want nero to go to vancouver that'd be kind of cool tbh

#

Even if the rest of the team sucks

#

He could at least be a tiny bit of star power

#

And dalton isn't the worst of the worst

raw ermine
#

Agilities was leaked to there no?

sullen berry
#

and?

#

I don't see a problem with that

raw ermine
#

I guess

tawdry hamlet
#

Oooh was he? That's pretty sick actually

raw ermine
#

but if you signed agilities just to bench him for nero

#

seems like a waste

tawdry hamlet
#

He can be the new pogwave

#

I believe in Vancouver ever since they beat Reign that one time lolol, they can do it maybe

#

Agilities is a top tier na projectile or genji at least imo

sullen berry
#

Did Neptuno retire?
@cedar oasis Free agency

tawdry hamlet
#

Not as good as danteh but very close

#

I mean agilities in a genji meta got Toronto of all teams to 4th place lmao

raw ermine
#

:)

plush light
#

Agilities is a genji roadhog two trick

tawdry hamlet
#

Yeah but he's a really solid two trick lol

plush light
#

Name a hero outside of genji that agilities is A tier in.

#

In dps

tawdry hamlet
#

Do the same for Sparkle

#

Yet people are still hyped about him

#

I like agilities ok leave me alone crine

plush light
#

Sparkle is top tier pharah and doom

#

And hanzo

raw ermine
#

and gengu

plush light
#

I could see ksf agilities

raw ermine
#

reuniting

plush light
#

Ksf as the flex and agilities as the projectile specialist

#

How good would pine fl0w3r be as a dps line these days

raw ermine
#

lmao

#

if they were coached well

tawdry hamlet
#

#freeleave

plush light
#

There both lft

raw ermine
#

potential top tier

#

pine as an ANS role

#

and Flow3r as an architect role

plush light
#

fl0w3r as rascal role

#

Or architect

#

Imagine if shock sign fl0w3r

#

Under crusty he would dominate with shock

next mesa
#

Fl0w3r is more like budget fleta

#

Cuz he can hitscan as well

tawdry hamlet
#

Yeah but if he was in the shock he'd play like once a month

#

They were way too stacked

#

Not so much anymore at least

#

With rascal gone but I don't think they really need another dps tbh

#

I just want to see Ta1yo more pls

#

Im really excited to see how london does

#

If they get pogwave and a lot of hurricane players they could stomp tbh

next mesa
#

We'll see how they do in gauntlet first

tawdry hamlet
#

Fair

#

I hope the hurricane players aren't a bust and actually perform though

#

Just afraid lack of competition is the reason they are so good lowkey

#

I mean im sure this season will be a little rough for a lot of teams since a ton of them are getting fat roster changes

wanton birch
#

What do you guys think is the biggest move so far , probably between moth or fearless for me

next mesa
#

Fearless

#

For me

#

Now dallas is a contenders

plush light
#

Fl0w3r is more like budget fleta
@next mesa rascal also plays hitscan. In s1 he played widow and mcree and he played tracer in apex sometimes

raw ermine
#

yo

#

reunite birdring and rascal on LAG

keen aurora
#

carcar retired

raw ermine
#

yeah

keen aurora
#

he wasnt that good

hot heart
#

Worst MS in OWL

#

Ever probably

#

Probably forgot of someone though

balmy wolf
#

s1 dragons

sullen berry
#

Altering

#

great communicator of three languages

#

but none of that translated into more than 10+ map wins throughout the entirety of season 1

hot heart
#

Christ

#

Altering and freefeel

sullen berry
#

I've never seen a freefeed zen with potential shut down so hard

#

MG was playing like it was TF2 or some chinese 2D moba

hot heart
#

Shanghai drop the whole roster and sign all of s1 Shanghai and win OWL s4

sullen berry
#

drop moon lol

hot heart
#

Power move of the century

#

No

#

Move moon

#

To MT position

sullen berry
#

Moon Tank

raw ermine
#

I wonder who is the worst ms

solar bison
#

Well, how do you decide that?

#

Play them on the same team and see who has better results?

raw ermine
#

look at lucio mercy and brig stats

solar bison
#

That works

#

Was brig out in s1?

raw ermine
#

only stage 4 and playoffs

#

wasn't a MS role tho

#

ok lets see here

#

on lucio

#

Fiveking seems to be the worst

solar bison
#

In league history?

raw ermine
#

yeah

#

in all the important metrics

solar bison
#

Ok

raw ermine
#

damage, elims final blows

#

ok

#

maybe those aren't that important

#

for deaths and healing

#

carcar is overall worse

solar bison
#

They are somewhat important

raw ermine
#

Zebossai has 7.7 deaths per 10

solar bison
#

Deaths per 10 is probably most important

raw ermine
#

whoa

#

fiveking is 4th in healing

solar bison
#

Very passive

hot heart
#

Who the fuck is fiveking

solar bison
#

Then again, shanghai probably took a lot of damage

raw ermine
#

still has 6.2 deaths per 10

hot heart
#

Kinda remember the name

#

But

solar bison
#

S1 dragons MS

hot heart
#

Huh

#

Okay

#

Fiveking Altering freefeel Support line

solar bison
#

You guys think coma and youngjin deserve spots in the league?

hot heart
#

Yes

raw ermine
#

Youngjin is retired so it wouldn't matter

hot heart
#

Yeah he is

raw ermine
#

sideshow said how badly he got screwed by 222

solar bison
#

Well, yeah but coma

#

Coma was good

hot heart
#

Coma i think could do good

solar bison
#

On like justice

hot heart
#

But given that all teams have insane FS's rn

#

Probably not

solar bison
#

Coma is Ms

hot heart
#

My bad

raw ermine
#

I am gonna test brig lucio and mercy all at once

solar bison
#

Ok

#

Tell us the results

hot heart
#

Who's the worst dps all time actually

solar bison
#

Iโ€™m curious

hot heart
#

Would it be like undying

solar bison
#

Whos the worst at every sub role

hot heart
#

And make a team out of them

raw ermine
#

well this is interesting

solar bison
#

MT, OT, Hitscan, Projectile, MS, FS

hot heart
#

Name the team the redemption arc of the millennium

raw ermine
#

sleepy is somehow last in 2 metrics

solar bison
#

We will edit them in and make a starting lineup

hot heart
#

Hmm

solar bison
#

Which 2

hot heart
#

So

raw ermine
#

final blows and damage

#

lmao

hot heart
#

Is freefeel or sleepy worse?

#

Im gonna assume freefeel

raw ermine
#

sleepy is flex

hot heart
#

Since shanghai got clapped

raw ermine
#

so i wouldn't put it on him

solar bison
#

It was sleepy

hot heart
#

Hm

#

And dps?

solar bison
#

He is a flex support

#

what was meta s1

hot heart
#

Double sniper

#

Dive

#

Some goats in stage 4 if im not wrong

solar bison
#

Ok

#

But now we have FS like Viol2t and twilight who are DPS that can heal

#

Kinda strange

upper niche
#

Guys, guys, I just realised something... it's only mid-November.

#

And we're already speculating about what teams are going to be strong/weak in a 2021 season we don't even know when might start.

#

Let alone the format it might be run in.

quartz cairn
#

ngl i think Glads are gonna be strong this yea

#

rr

#

just from the pickups we alrdy know

upper niche
#

Yeah but we said that about Toronto Defiant last year too.

tawdry hamlet
#

carcar wasn't the worst main support, but he is up there, his lucio actually wasn't that bad in terms of being slippery and mechanically, but Vancouver as a whole was never going to work effectively

#

idk I feel there has to be someone maybe slightly worse than him but idkk

#

he is up there

#

maybe an old backup on a shit team like boston or something had a worse support

#

then again carcar was barely t500 last time I looked at leaderboards so he isn't fantastic lmao

#

were the boston supports that were dropped ever any good?

#

I know myun is but I don't recall seeing anything about the other supports

#

Yeah but we said that about Toronto Defiant last year too.
to be fair kariv and kruise are pretty solid, and logix was hyped up, and agilities is popular for genji so understandable lolol

noble nexus
#

moth shu are undoubtedly both better than kariv and kruise on their roles

#

this glads roster would have to hard throw to not be a top 10 team at the least

tawdry hamlet
#

I predict toronto and vancouver will be bottom teams next season

#

unless they make some major pickups

#

they are going to be dogshit

#

Logix and Dalton are not enough to carry OmegaLUL

noble nexus
#

yeahh

#

I thought the same about boston till they kept myunbong and got im37

next mesa
#

logix is just

hot heart
#

Meh

noble nexus
#

logix is incredibly meh

hot heart
#

He has his moments though

noble nexus
#

he has his moments

#

fuck

hot heart
#

Lmao

#

Too slow

noble nexus
#

nah

#

you're just stealing my brain and shit bro

hot heart
#

Damn

#

Anyway

#

Logix paired up with someone insanely good

#

Would be fine tbh

#

As toronto you should be aiming for like

#

6th NA

#

Or 7th

#

You aint getting top 5

#

So dont try

#

But they dont seem to so im not worried about it

#

I feel like toronto sign 2 or 3 superstars and fill the roster with meh players

#

I think errror said that

#

But i agree with it

noble nexus
#

idk if 6th na is do-able

tawdry hamlet
#

Hmm, what about Atlanta

#

will they suck or be mid tier again

#

hmm

#

other than dogman they didn't really drop too many great players or anything

#

saucy was super meh

digital cloud
#

if the coaching improves, and if they make good moves

#

I can see mid to high

noble nexus
#

they made an improvement with Pelican

digital cloud
#

but the teams I like tend to fail

#

so they will fail

noble nexus
#

Atlanta is one of those teams that comes into the offseason looking good but just disappoint every time

#

I stg

hot heart
#

Tbh

#

ATL has a really good dps line

#

But holy fuck is the rest of their roster just not good enough

#

Hawk and gator are only really good at double shield

noble nexus
#

yeah their dps line has always been the best part of their roster realistically

digital cloud
#

they could do all tanks pretty well in contendies

#

I still assert it was coaching issues

#

but hard to say for sure

hot heart
#

I blame coaches mostly

#

Like

#

If they got better coaches

#

I could see them keep all these players

#

Maybe upgrade the MT

#

But for the support line you really need to change it completely

#

I wanna see ATL pick up Contenders Stars

noble nexus
#

keep their dps line and just completely restart tbh

hot heart
#

Id say just add a few more pieces

#

And just drop all the coaches

#

Keep gator and hawk as backups

noble nexus
#

I don't think their tanks and supports are worth keeping

#

actually

hot heart
#

Or drop gator

noble nexus
#

gator hawk are ok

hot heart
#

Yeah

#

They arent bad

#

But they arent top tier

#

Which is the problem i think

noble nexus
#

keep them as backups and coach them

hot heart
#

That and not being great at other heroes

noble nexus
#

they could improve

#

they're double shield 1 tricks

hot heart
#

Yeah

#

I think hawk would be mkre valuable to keep

#

*more

noble nexus
#

oh yeah definitely

digital cloud
#

gator beat choi as sig when he debuted

#

he has skills

noble nexus
#

but they can both be coached if they get new coaches

hot heart
#

Wait

#

Thought hawk did that

#

For some reason

digital cloud
#

no, hawk joined this year

hot heart
#

Then keep gator

#

Sig could be meta next year

digital cloud
#

I mean, gator is a mt

hot heart
#

Yeah

digital cloud
#

and sigma has evolved since then

noble nexus
#

sig is like the most played hero this season

hot heart
#

But if he can challenge choi

digital cloud
#

I just think that was quite impressive considering

hot heart
#

Why not

formal crystal
loud ridge
#

bum

tawdry hamlet
#

If hog ball stays meta until the new season chengdu might actually have a shot ZaryaLUL

#

They really need to get a real team together, leave is a solid dps to build around and ameng is a fun gimmicky thing

#

Who is pretty okay at some other tanks I think

#

And with baconjack gone they have room to actually improve

#

Pick up Diya pls

#

Leave Diya would be a solid dps line

#

Tbh if chengdu just picked up the dragons releases they'd probably be better than they've ever been

formal crystal
#

hog ball isn't the meta

tawdry hamlet
#

Hog sigma ball

#

Depending on map

formal crystal
#

it's been majorly ball sigma/dva

#

and with moira buffs and no changes to any of the good rush comp heroes the winston dva sombra reaper moira lucio might take the dominant comp again

tawdry hamlet
#

Ball has been pretty dominant from what I've seen, I also saw brig coming back a bit in contenders

#

But with health decrease I imagine that will stop

#

A Geguri ameng leave Diya chengdu would be kind of fun to watch lolol

cobalt spoke
#

Hog is probably gonna be dead again for owl

#

He already feels dead whenever he plays I to an anything else played well

next mesa
#

PROBS

#

oops

noble nexus
#

I'll be surprised if reaper sombra dive isn't dominant with how meta looks right now

sullen berry
#

Pogging out over CSH

noble nexus
#

but it depends what the dev team come up with in their crack house

sullen berry
#

They've probably decided they will make it a challenge and integrate them with Eileen or make it a permaduo with Kaylee and Choisehwan

#

Build up that synergy

next mesa
#

that means they're not signing diya

#

tragic

noble nexus
#

Charge downgraded in their support line tbh

#

they're looking worse than last season to me

#

but I've not watched contendies enough to know about their new pickups

hot heart
#

Glads must've offered a massive bag

noble nexus
#

I hear MyKayleee is good tho

hot heart
#

That or shu jumped ship

noble nexus
#

they would've

#

idk

#

Charge were relatively successful imo

#

considering they shared a region with the dragons

silk frost
#

kayleee is solid

tropic herald
#

Kaylee and Sehwan should be a good duo

next mesa
#

what

#

so xzi leaving for sure

digital cloud
#

yes, the only conclusion we can get from that

sullen berry
#

Transitioning idk

hidden vault
#

Tooo

#

Dallas

hot heart
#

yes, the only conclusion we can get from that
@digital cloud ah yes

#

But since fdgod left

#

Wonder where xzi goes

silk frost
#

Xzi wants a mixed roster so...

hot heart
#

Yeah but where would that lead him

#

What team has both the money and could attract top players like xzi

#

And is also planning to go mixed

#

Or already is

silk frost
#

Maybe NYXL go mixed

hot heart
#

They seem to be going budget

#

So probably not somewhere xzi would go

silk frost
#

Can you give me another roster he could go to?

#

Valiant, Houston, Boston, Atlanta?

hot heart
#

If i had to pick one

#

Atlanta

#

Thats considering xzi completely denied dallas

silk frost
#

Yeah

#

Only Houston and Atlanta seem possible imo

digital cloud
#

atlanta has sharp, pelican, and edison now

#

I doubt atlanta happens

hot heart
#

I think they might drop sharp

#

But idk

#

Or trade him to paris or teams going mixed or western

#

I think ATL is becoming more korean

digital cloud
#

they have been pretty korean from the beginning

autumn basalt
#

all western teams korean rebuilds

karmic grotto
#

Korean OWL

autumn basalt
#

koreans only

#

no other asians

#

only korea

#

south korean* to be clear

plush light
#

Sharp is good

wanton birch
#

Has anything happened with shockwave ?

#

Did he resign with the titans ?

sullen berry
#

FA

#

i believe

weak bolt
#

Shockwave is a FA yeah, there was a vague rumour of him to London, but his management agency kind of disputed that

next mesa
#

some ๐Ÿ‘ one ๐Ÿ‘ sign ๐Ÿ‘ diya ๐Ÿ‘

vagrant jacinth
#

^^^^^

karmic grotto
#

fuel will annonce hitscon todo

trail perch
#

Diya to Fuel?

raw ermine
#

I doubt it. Unless diya can speak korean

trail perch
#

He said he could shotcall in korean but that doesnt mean much

#

Maybe he does after being on a mostly korean team for 2 years

next mesa
#

fuel hitscan today?

#

If it's not diem/xzi/happy I'll be disappointed

sullen berry
#

Dallas Fuel Happy heh

next mesa
#

Diya's tracer

#

do be kinda nutty doe

#

double hitscan meta

weak bolt
#

Fuel is a mystery at the moment, rumours are denying Happy/Diya/Xzi, so I'm expecting Glister

cedar oasis
#

What about nene

next mesa
#

I think those would all be a downgrade

#

compared to happy/diya/xzi

#

obviously xzi super unlikely honestly

#

probably happy/diya

#

one of those + a tracer specialist

#

fuck it bring sbb

weak bolt
#

Nenne seems highly rated by people involved in OWL, just not by fans

next mesa
#

other than super who else

weak bolt
#

Nearly all the casters/analysts rated him very highly

next mesa
#

that's just surprising

cedar oasis
#

Is there a reason Dallas wouldn't want xzi

#

He has experience with alot of their players

raw ermine
#

just sign pine 4head

trail perch
#

Nenne is rly good

#

especially if they need an extra zarya aside from DPS

#

Your getting a nutty hitscan with a good zarya on the side

raw ermine
#

sparkle was the goats zarya for EM

trail perch
#

But EM was better with doom during goats

#

Hack fist?

weak bolt
#

Dalls probably do want Xzi @cedar oasis

#

But Xzi apparantly wnats a mixed roster

raw ermine
trail perch
#

ugh

weak bolt
plush light
#

Nenne is rly good
@trail perch nenne was bad this year

next mesa
#

yeah

#

injury

trail perch
#

This year he wasnt as good as usual

#

But that doesnt mean he is a bad player

#

I still wouldnt call him bad

sullen berry
#

@raw ermine hahaha he did a funny

trail perch
#

his bad is still better than linkzr or logix in NA

next mesa
#

probably

#

but he's just bad

#

at nyxl

trail perch
#

I just realized that there are no bad snipers in NA

#

I mean APAC

next mesa
#

baconjack

#

lmao

trail perch
#

I mean, his widow wasnt that awful

next mesa
#

who played hitscan for chengdu

trail perch
#

It wasnt the best

next mesa
#

nah it's bad

sullen berry
#

you are talking about APAC

#

there the asia-based talent thrives

trail perch
#

yeah, and the asian based snipers are insane

#

Every team had a good one

#

Glister, GodsB, Happy, Nenne, Diem, Leave, Fits

#

Pretty stacked roster

next mesa
#

Fleta

#

Lip

#

lol

trail perch
#

I was going for more the sniper specialists

next mesa
#

all 3 of their snipers

#

๐Ÿ‘Œ

#

lip is a sniper specialist he played way more than diem

trail perch
#

But lip played more ashe sombra

#

than widow

#

And diem is better

next mesa
#

well I mean

#

he also did widow

trail perch
#

yeah but like diem>

next mesa
#

yeah yeah

#

I just mean like

#

Lip is probably

trail perch
#

You can also say Bazzi widow...

next mesa
#

way better than baconjack

trail perch
#

insane

#

Def def

next mesa
#

or even like

#

maybe glister and godsb

#

idk

trail perch
#

I would say maybe godsb not glister

shy remnant
#

bazzi retired start of the season right?

sullen berry
#

around the first weeks of online play

trail perch
#

I think... but his widow was good at the start

sullen berry
#

around the time sinatraa retired

shy remnant
#

i didnt watch apac at the start od online so i dont know

next mesa
#

what the fuck

sullen berry
#

yeah the month long period of uncertainty was really hitting people differently

trail perch
#

why

sullen berry
#

I'm suspect

#

but sure

trail perch
#

But danteh happy?

#

thats a good dps line

#

Danteh is maybe the best western player in the league

#

and happy is a insane sniper

shy remnant
#

did linkzr leave houston?

trail perch
#

yeah

shy remnant
#

oh

raw ermine
#

happy to houston

#

hmm

#

linkzr replaced lol

sullen berry
next mesa
#

yeah

#

makes sense

trail perch
#

linkzr was just worse

next mesa
#

happy to dallas doesn't make sense in that case

sullen berry
#

it's still good to have connections with as many western teams

next mesa
#

cuz dallas is full korean

#

so that means

#

diem

#

only option

trail perch
#

DIEM DALLAS

#

Im so for that

weak bolt
#

Houston picking up another top player? maybe they arent doomed

sullen berry
#

they wouldn't know unless the conversations were heavily leaning towards Dallas Full Korean during the postseason conversations

shy remnant
#

does anyone know what nyxl is doing with their roster yet?

#

otther than trading mano

tropic herald
#

They getting a new hitscan

shy remnant
#

and releasing others

tropic herald
#

Not public yet doe

trail perch
#

CATS hitscan right?

shy remnant
#

huh

trail perch
#

That was the leak right?

shy remnant
#

idk

tropic herald
#

Yes

#

Idr the name

#

Here we go

#

Gwangboong

silk frost
#

I even said happy to houston

#

I feel so bad for cursing him

next mesa
#

lmfao

next mesa
#

ok but danteh/happy might be top 5 dps duo

karmic grotto
#

every team can have a top 5 dps duo

next mesa
#

maybe

#

we'll have to see about the contendies

trail perch
#

I would say maybe top4 dps duo

#

Danteh has been grinding this off season

cedar oasis
#

Are Houston keeping meko?

silk frost
#

idk

#

but I think Danteh really dropped off by the end of last season

#

if he steps it back up then it might be a really good DPS duo but for now...

#

I'm not hopeful

next mesa
#

well

#

except sombra tracer echo

#

he is good at those 3 but other than that

trail perch
#

He dropped off less than jehong...

silk frost
#

his sombra play went from excellent to awful

trail perch
#

Also Danteh has been insane

#

On ranked

silk frost
#

so has Yeatle

trail perch
#

@next mesa Im insulting ur baby

#

#1 combined?

silk frost
#

I don't like to use ranked as a benchmark for skill, it's so much more chaotic than OWL even at the t500 level

solar bison
#

True

trail perch
#

True, but in off season its the only thing to go off of

#

scrimbux means even less

silk frost
#

I mean we can look at their most recent OWL play

#

and it wasn't THAT long ago

trail perch
#

yeah but at some point it gets outdated

#

Danteh last played early september

silk frost
#

yeah fair

#

I still don't have much faith

#

considering how he was as bad as he was at the end of the year, he looked like Colourhex had a concussion

trail perch
#

Your over exagerating

silk frost
#

a little

trail perch
#

chex was still worse

silk frost
#

but his EMPs were wrong, he was over aggressive, he used cooldowns too fast, there were a ton of poorly used cooldowns, all that fun stuff

trail perch
#

unpopular opinion, chex was the worst player in owl last year

silk frost
#

I'd say either Jmac, Muma, or Halo

trail perch
#

That could have come from bad coaching or poor mental

#

Not Jmac as worst

#

I can see Muma or halo

silk frost
#

I mean Jmac fed like a mother fucker

trail perch
#

So did bumper....

#

Bumper was a top 2 rein

silk frost
#

yeah but he was a good IGL

trail perch
#

Is Jmac?

silk frost
#

I don't think we heard anything about if jmac did that for london

#

I believe it was SanGuiNar

trail perch
#

Yeah idk

#

But i wouldnt call Jmac the worst

silk frost
#

I could be talking out of my ass tho

trail perch
#

Maybe D tier

#

Chex, Halo, Muma all F

#

Also fusions

silk frost
#

nah Fusions was alright

tidal ridge
#

fusions was like D

trail perch
#

Not really, s2 he was already

#

alright

#

s3 he was garbo

silk frost
#

his hog in playoffs was really good

#

his monkey was better than Gator's imo

trail perch
#

nooooooooo

tidal ridge
#

not a high bar to cross

silk frost
#

yeah but I think Gator is noticeably worse than Fusions

trail perch
#

I wouldnt say that

#

I think hes better

#

not by much tho

silk frost
#

I mean Fusions impressed me once or twice last year, but Gator never even did that

trail perch
#

But gator was just consistant

tidal ridge
#

consistently bad, yeah

trail perch
#

Fusions had some low lows

silk frost
#

I hate it especially because Pokpo is a better orisa and gator was probably a better sigma than hawk

trail perch
#

TRUE

silk frost
#

like Sephy didn't know what the fuck he was doing right?

trail perch
#

Sephy is a great person, not a good coach

silk frost
#

gator/hawk might've been good in contendies but OWL is a different beast, and they couldn't step up to the plate

trail perch
#

I miss the selfless days

silk frost
#

EXCEPT FOR GATOR'S SIGMA and DEBATABLY his rein

tidal ridge
#

how bad was kyky on dallas

silk frost
#

worst coach in OWL history imo

tidal ridge
#

didnt he say "u just have to trust me"

silk frost
#

when Aero is as big of an upgrade as he was, you gotta say he's BAD

#

yeah he did

trail perch
#

Kyky is the worst

#

Ever

#

Ever ever

silk frost
#

I'd rather have my head coach be my asshole than Kyky

#

so ChoiSehwan

trail perch
#

Love him, I watched a little bit of contendies

#

Nothing but good things about the chosen one

#

Its going to be confusing to have 2 chois tho

silk frost
#

we have the choi boi

#

and the choi man

trail perch
#

Hyobin is man right

#

and sehwan is boi

silk frost
#

yeah

#

how do you guys feel about Hangzhou going more chinese

trail perch
#

Depends on if they really end up signing SMS

#

if they do idk about the rest of the team, they my #2

#

If they dont I think that chinese members can really amplify guxue to pop off

#

But they wont be as good

cedar oasis
#

They have architec

solar bison
#

Where do you rank guxue in terms of main tank

silk frost
#

top 3

cedar oasis
#

I think he is solid but not top 3

trail perch
#

Last year i would say that

#

This year top 6

solar bison
#

Last year he was definitely really good

trail perch
#

maybe because spark wasnt as good

solar bison
#

This year he dropped a bit, but was still good

silk frost
#

I think it was moreso his supporting cast than him though

#

like only players I think were better in MT are Sado and Fearless

solar bison
#

Remember when someone called ameng a gigachad or something in s2

cedar oasis
#

Idk kinda got worse

silk frost
#

YOTTACHAD AMENG

trail perch
#

Smurg?

#

Smurf?

silk frost
#

I don't rate smurf that much

trail perch
#

How???

#

Smurf top 3 mt

solar bison
#

Smurf, fearless, sado i think outperformed guxue in s3

cedar oasis
#

What about hydration

trail perch
#

no

#

No hydration

silk frost
#

I don't think Smurf is amazing

solar bison
#

Hydration is the best MT to touch OW

trail perch
#

Smurf is top 3 winston

#

top 2 orisa

silk frost
#

aight imma have to stop you right there

cedar oasis
#

Super

trail perch
#

Good ball

silk frost
#

Smurf is a very bad ball, did we see the same smurf?

trail perch
#

Does grand finals mean nothing to you?

silk frost
#

I will agree his orisa is incredible though, easily #1

trail perch
#

Smurf styled on marvell

silk frost
#

I wasn't impressed by his ball

noble nexus
#

Smurfs ball did what it needed to do

#

he only got caught out because creative was sleeping him a lot

trail perch
#

Smurf winston was just better than Sados

noble nexus
#

he was wasting seouls abilities tho

solar bison
#

And thats the job of ball

noble nexus
#

exactly

solar bison
#

Get CCed

trail perch
#

Smurf was sooooo goood

solar bison
#

Ball is just a cooldown waster

trail perch
#

top 2 mt in NA

noble nexus
#

ball is just a turbofeeder hero

solar bison
#

Yeah

#

Unless you are ameng

noble nexus
#

then it's a dps

#

if you're ameng

solar bison
#

Amengs ball is just built differently

cedar oasis
#

Mano had a good ball this season

noble nexus
#

amengs everything is built different

silk frost
#

I forgot he played ball in the grand finals ngl, and if he's constantly getting slept, that's not unlucky or "Just creative hitting him," that's him getting bad play, and he poked too much

solar bison
#

Mano heros are good

#

Consistent

silk frost
#

he took a TON of damage

trail perch
#

Hes supposed to get slept

noble nexus
#

him getting slept is what he's supposed to do

cedar oasis
#

Top 3 ball

noble nexus
#

lol

trail perch
#

That was his job lol

silk frost
#

yeah but it's WHERE he gets slept

#

3 inches from the hog

solar bison
#

But thats kind of the point

#

Waste cooldowns

noble nexus
#

where else is he supposed to be slept

#

lol

trail perch
#

Bc it also wastes hook

solar bison
#

If anyone can take it, its ball

noble nexus
#

creative isn't firing sleeps into the entire team to hit ball

silk frost
#

around a corner, closer to his team, don't piledrive before a sleep

#

stuff like that

trail perch
#

Smurfs ball was top tier

solar bison
#

Ball hooked is better than tracer hooked

#

Or ana hooked

silk frost
#

I'm aware

solar bison
#

Cuz ball can survive

silk frost
#

but he didn't survive, he took too much damage on his way in

noble nexus
#

ball doesn't auto die when hog looks at him so it's sort of the best case scenario when playing against hog

trail perch
#

The only thing smurf wasnt top 3 on was like rein

solar bison
#

Which is why shock have super

cedar oasis
#

Did smurf play rien?

silk frost
#

I'll give you a top 8 abll

trail perch
#

Once or twice i think

silk frost
#

blal

solar bison
#

Who is 2nd to only bumper, if 2nd at all

silk frost
#

ball

trail perch
#

name 7 players better

noble nexus
#

Idk if we're being serious bumper could never look that good on rein on any other team

#

lol

solar bison
#

True

#

But bumper was creative and entertaining, which is the peak of OWL

noble nexus
#

the guy just inted into the enemy team and won cuz twilight slime and haksal

silk frost
#

Oge, Ameng, Ball (EU contenders if we allow it), Rio, Gamsu I think slightly

noble nexus
#

yeah s2 was great

silk frost
#

now I run into the problem of WHO THE FUCK EVEN PLAYS BALL

solar bison
#

Oge over smurf?

silk frost
#

yeah his ball was his best hero imo

cedar oasis
#

Mano?

silk frost
#

mano is another good one yeah

cedar oasis
#

Did fate play ball

solar bison
#

Yeah

#

Good

silk frost
#

if we do allow contenders players, I think Gaga and 800 in China are better

solar bison
#

No

trail perch
#

incorrect

silk frost
#

Fate's ball is okay

trail perch
#

Rio?

#

Gamsu?

solar bison
#

Maybe just average

trail perch
#

Better than smurf?

silk frost
#

yeah Rio and Gamsu were really good when they played it

solar bison
#

Rio ball was real good

next mesa
#

Mano ball

solar bison
#

Yeah, we said mano

silk frost
#

they played a much more safe ball playstyle that worked better than the "oh hey I'm slept in front of the enemy team again"

solar bison
#

Well, meta calls for different things

silk frost
#

it's fine to be slept, not as fine when you can't get peel OR survive

solar bison
#

The meta where rio played wasnt with hog

sullen berry
#

Ameng said during goats era that the best wrecking ball before himself is Rio

silk frost
#

yeah s2 is where Rio especially shone on Ball

solar bison
#

Rio>Ameng?

sullen berry
#

so I think that says a lot about rio, who was pretty disappointing after the regular season

#

in terms of versatility, I'd pick Rio over Ameng

solar bison
#

Rio has a lot of potential

silk frost
#

I feel like Rio is really underrated

#

he's not AMAZING, but he's good

solar bison
#

Guangzhou has a really good team

sullen berry
#

because you are NOT going to have any adapability running ameng unless it's a counter start that works in their favour

solar bison
#

They never were super great, but never shit the bed either

silk frost
#

yeah he's just not a PLAYMAKER, and he shouldn't be, not with Chrong, Neptuno, and Happy on your team

sullen berry
#

Rio hasn't stated where he's going, now I really want a Rio Jersey

#

It's literally three letters

cedar oasis
#

Chrong was a chad

sullen berry
#

and two numbers

silk frost
#

lol

solar bison
#

Heโ€™s not staying?

silk frost
#

he should go to NYXL, I'm sure he's decently cheap

solar bison
#

Maybe

#

But he could want to stay

cedar oasis
#

Is he leaving?

silk frost
#

I think GZ need a new main tank to change the atmosphere though

sullen berry
#

More likely that eileen or Rio have re-signed, their player option hasn't been declined

silk frost
#

it's been a little samey and we've seen how 3 years of a main tank can hurt (HOUSTON)

solar bison
#

True, they refreshed the DPS and Support roles

silk frost
#

Guangzhou could be a destination for Yakpung

solar bison
#

Eileen and Crong have to stay on charge

cedar oasis
#

What about sado

solar bison
#

If they dont, waste of talent

silk frost
#

I feel like Sado to Mayhem makes a ton of sense though

#

but if he DOES go to Guangzhou then holy SHIT

solar bison
#

Maybe, they do need a MT

silk frost
#

guangzhou sado might actually be bad now that I think about it, Mandu and Kariv are very bloodthirsty supports, they need a lower resource player like Rio for them to play around I think

sullen berry
#

Well let's have look at their roster to date, then GuangzhouCharge
Damage Choisehwan Tank Rio
Damage MyKayleeeee Tank Cr0ng
Damage Eileen
Support Mandu
Support Kariv

#

it would be a disgrace not to have a third tank in this lineup

silk frost
#

yeah they want to put every resource they have into that DPS and support line

#

the tank line should be fine

#

maybe they sign another low resource MT

#

but who

sullen berry
#

they've done fine without, it's just for some healthy competition in the starting lineup

silk frost
#

maybe a chinese prospect like Gaga or Over?

cedar oasis
#

What about fissure

sullen berry
#

Gaga is very high

solar bison
#

Choi boi and MyKaylee are Chinese or Korean?

silk frost
#

idk he could be molded into a low resource one

sullen berry
#

on Chengdu's list of must have signings

silk frost
#

both korean

solar bison
#

Ok

silk frost
#

Lige for Chengdu

#

do it

sullen berry
#

CSH not choi boi

silk frost
#

it's choi boi

solar bison
#

I know

silk frost
#

because our old choi boi is the choi man

solar bison
#

But its choi boi

#

Yeah

#

Choi Man has graduated choi school

silk frost
#

Chengdu and Hangzhou probably both want Lige really bad

#

all out fisticuffs for that man

solar bison
#

Whats his position

silk frost
#

off tank

sullen berry
#

Hangzhou should also go towards Seominsoo Damage

weak bolt
#

Lige is rumoured to Spark at the moment

solar bison
#

Interesting

silk frost
#

easily best off tank in contenders china, probably top 3 off tank out of OWL

solar bison
#

Especially with SMS

#

He Chinese, could work well with Guxue

silk frost
#

probably

weak bolt
#

Spark apparantly want a 12 man roster, so expect a few more people there

sullen berry
#

I talk to FISMS (the fan guy for SMS meme)

silk frost
#

he has a potential peak around Crong I'd say

sullen berry
#

there's no way I see him missing next year

solar bison
#

12 man rosters are a double edged sword

sullen berry
#

but you never know with 2021 without any reassurance players want to return after the Vancouver implosion

silk frost
#

I dislike 12 man rosters personally

sullen berry
#

according to Charge COO Eddy Meng, it's not going to happen

#

12 man roster is too expensive just to set up shop for internal scrims

solar bison
#

They provide some starting lineup competition and some flexibility, but then, its hard to make middle of the year signings, and they can get expensive

sullen berry
#

when there are better more trained ones in contenders korea who can do the same job really

weak bolt
#

Have you seen Spark's new house? Money is no object to them

solar bison
#

True

silk frost
#

spark not Charge

solar bison
#

Bilibili is rich

tawdry hamlet
silk frost
#

oh wait

#

nvm

#

I thought you said guangzhou were going for a 12 man roster fec

sullen berry
#

we're not talking actual boston financials

weak bolt
#

We're talking the Chinese Dallas

sullen berry
#

no GZ has never really made the most out of a 12 man roster

tropic herald
silk frost
#

WAIT

tropic herald
#

LOL

sullen berry
#

money for roster building has its budget

silk frost
#

WAIT

#

WHAT

LOL

trail perch

HOLY SHIT

yooooooo

HOLY SHIT

HE WANTED A MIXED ROSTER

POGUUUU

silk frost

WHAT

solar bison

No suprise

trail perch
#

YESSS

silk frost

OK FUCK IT DALLAS WIN 2020

trail perch
#

HOLY SHIT

silk frost
#

20201*

cedar oasis

FUEL

weak bolt
#

I guess he didn't get offers from a Mixed roster in the end

trail perch
#

DALLLASSSSS

silk frost
#

DALLAS WINS

solar bison
#

20201*

silk frost
#

NO WAY THEY SHIT THE BED THIS TIME

#

2021*

solar bison
#

@silk frost are you in the future

cedar oasis
#

FUEL CANT DISAPPOINT NOW

silk frost
#

THEY CAN'T SHIT THE BED

#

NO WAY

solar bison
#

Now, if they do, itโ€™ll be more hilarious and sad

weak bolt
#

They still need a tracer player/backup hitscan imo

cedar oasis
#

If Dallas fail then they should just give up

keen aurora
#

oh cra they got xzi

solar bison
#

Just disband

#

Stop trying

weak bolt
#

Xzi lost a bunch of last season to a wrist injury, they have to be pretty certain thats sorted to not sign a 2nd

silk frost
#

if Dallas fail just sign a plat team and I'm sure they'll do better

vagrant jacinth
#

They did it

tawdry hamlet
#

A plat team could beat houston any day truetrue

silk frost
#

fair

solar bison
#

True

#

Plat teams beating shock?

#

Imagine

silk frost
#

that's how Fuel do it if they shit the bed

solar bison
#

Yeah

cedar oasis
#

I don't see a way they can fail

solar bison
#

Or they just disband

cobalt spoke
#

Shock roster > fuel roster

solar bison
#

Maybe

silk frost
#

not without Moth

tawdry hamlet
#

Everyone talking about fuel being a let down all the time meanwhile houston out here like stonks

solar bison
#

Crusty>Rush

noble nexus
#

fdgod is barely a downgrade over moth

silk frost
#

we always knew Houston would be shit

weak bolt
#

They need to be top 3 NA to meet expectations. Anything below that is a failure

silk frost
#

Dallas have had expectations

#

and never reached it

cobalt spoke
#

Fdgod was top 3 main supports before he was coached by crusty

#

Trust me

solar bison
#

S1 dallas anyone?

cedar oasis
#

These are proven OWL players

silk frost
#

oh no I think FDGod is the 2nd best main support

karmic grotto
#

XZI

tawdry hamlet
#

Ans is a better widow than Xzi but otherwise Dallas looking solid against shock

karmic grotto
#

I fucking told ya

cobalt spoke
#

When fdgod goes to shock he's gonna be just ad good as moth

silk frost
#

only problem is that Moth is so significantly better than everyone ever

karmic grotto
#

Who the fuck doubted me?

#

WHO

silk frost
#

._.'

weak bolt
#

NA is going to be crazy this year, with Shock, Philly, Dallas and LAG

sullen berry
#

@karmic grotto no really, who

solar bison
#

Philly?

#

Maybe

silk frost
#

._.'

tawdry hamlet
#

Who cares about Philly tho OmegaLUL

noble nexus
#

I think Philly are gonna be worse

karmic grotto
cobalt spoke
#

@silk frost not really

karmic grotto
#

I called it

#

WAY BEFORE YOU ALL

silk frost
#

._.'

cobalt spoke
#

Fdgod is also bringing a way better brig than moth, remember that

earnest leaf
#

ah I'm loving the new dallas eternal mystic team

solar bison
#

Ok, we get it

tawdry hamlet
#

Woah you predicted a reunion of players who played together before who would've thought

silk frost
#

dude Moth brig was great

weak bolt
#

Philly have let some players go, if they did that, it's pretty sure they have replacements coming in

sullen berry
#

you can't spell multiple generations of EM without: Sp9rk1e, Doha, XZI, Hanbin, Fearless and Rush

karmic grotto
#

@tawdry hamlet I've had faith before anyone else

cobalt spoke
#

No it wasnt

solar bison
#

Yeah, i guess

cobalt spoke
#

Moth's brig was good

karmic grotto
cobalt spoke
#

Fdgod brig is def better though

weak bolt
#

Like if Philly sign Rascal, they're right back up there in top ranks

silk frost
#

who would they get at off tank?

#

without Fury they need someone like Piggy to make up for it

karmic grotto
#

doha/sparkle/xzi is kinda meta proof

#

sparkle has a pretty nice tracer

noble nexus
#

are philly really gonna be able to replace fury?

weak bolt
#

Jjanu, or Mek0 are both available

earnest leaf
#

double hitscan could be a bit iffy for them

tawdry hamlet
#

But if they don't sign rascal they'll just be a high mid tier

silk frost
#

I don't think Jjanu and Meko are ready to be on that level again

weak bolt
#

I think Jjanu is comparable to Fury honestly

solar bison
#

S4 looking to be hype as fuck with Washington, Dallas, Charge, and Glads rosters looking to be stacked, Shock going for the 3-peat, Philly trying to get stuff done, Dragons trying to remain dominant, and much more roster moves to make teams like spark title contenders

tropic herald
#

Doha or Sparkle need to get a top tier tracer fast

silk frost
#

and Paris will wet the bed

solar bison
#

Well, cheap roster

silk frost
#

I think Doha can do it

solar bison
#

What do you expect

silk frost
#

and fury and jjanu comparable

weak bolt
#

Dallas still lack a tracer player, and I think their support line isn't as strong as Philly/Shock currently

silk frost
#

I'm gonna have to disagree

sullen berry
#

@karmic grotto how did you figure it out before Halo, did you just go by intuition

tawdry hamlet
#

Paris shipped out their whole ass roster of course they are going to suck s4

silk frost
#

who's 2021 worst team? Houston or Paris

solar bison
#

Yeah, paris and london going for the future

#

They said fuck s4 weโ€™ll win s5

tropic herald
#

Houston cant suck

#

They have a decent dps line

weak bolt
#

Paris and London are going for cheap, not for the future

silk frost
#

you underestimate their lack of power

tawdry hamlet
#

Probably vancouver or toronto tbh

solar bison
#

Well, london is planning for future

tawdry hamlet
#

If london really gets pogwave and promotes some hurricane dudes they could be mid

solar bison
#

Yeah

silk frost
#

London will probably beat up on all the lower tier teams next year

tawdry hamlet
#

Glister Pogwave dps line stonks

solar bison
#

I wonder what the s4 preseason power rankings gonna look like

next mesa
#

Xzi ?

solar bison
#

And its only November

next mesa
#

This makes no sense

#

Didn't he want a mixed roster

tropic herald
#

If I was power ranking now

next mesa
#

Or like

tropic herald
#

Glads would be my top

weak bolt
#

Sounds like Xzi didnt get any mixed roster offers worth it

next mesa
#

Why didn't he join with sparkle and hanbin

silk frost
#

yeah what mixed rosters even exist

next mesa
#

Alright makes sense

solar bison
#

Well, the EM people used their influence to pull him

#

Or maybe to build hype

#

And torture us

weak bolt
#

He probably held out for a bit to see what was available, and then said Fuck it, give me that cash

solar bison
#

Reasonable

next mesa
#

Okay

#

Now dallas needs a tracer

weak bolt
#

Maybe he was hoping a team like Philly or Shock would come for him

next mesa
#

And

solar bison
#

Philly have carpe/heesu

next mesa
#

Xzi needs to get better at ashe

solar bison
#

Shock have ans

tropic herald
#

Iโ€™m a MuZe simp

weak bolt
#

Yes I know they do. But Philly also had Fury a week ago and nobody thought he'd leave

solar bison
#

Glads have top potential, yeah

tawdry hamlet
#

Time to watch Soon do everything in paris Salutations

next mesa
#

Also

weak bolt
#

This off season is like ridiculous to predict. If 2 months ago we'd have said Fury leaving Philly, Moth leaving Shock, you'd all have laughed

next mesa
#

If dallas could get a ball/orisa player

They would be complete
