#

it doesnt

#

the meta gun on day 1 of modern warfare is still the meta gun today

#

over a year later

#

??

#

They are tho

karmic grotto
#

It's their main source of income

balmy wolf
#

I think you forget that Warzone is only a part of call of duty

tropic herald
#

Man this is esports discussion, guys just go somewhere else or talk about esports

balmy wolf
#

And they have a new release/campaign/zombies every year

#

i was talking about multiplayer

#

but still

#

well they sell that shit for 60 dollars

#

those aren't free updates

#

Back to esports, OWL is not as popular of Cod League. Lets discuss why

#

cod is just a more popular game

karmic grotto
#

Call of Duty has a longer history of existing

balmy wolf
#

mainly cus of console

karmic grotto
#

Would Overwatch be released in 2010, then it would have been as big as League of Legends in terms of size of esports, fans, sponsors, merchandise

balmy wolf
#

really

#

Why is it not as popular now

#

Will it be that popular in the future

#

no lol

karmic grotto
#

They failed to let esports scene grow naturally and instead forced a system

#

I see why they invested in owl, they expected the esports scene to grow in size, like, generally all types of esports

#

But overwatch seems to be declining while others are growing

balmy wolf
#

I think it is due to the main game’s popularity in part

#

When was our last major content update in relation to major effect in OWL

#

Echo, right?

#

jee u guys get so pessimistic about OWL

#

if a farming game can get a esports league then why worry about owl

karmic grotto
#

Maybe we should start watching farming esports

balmy wolf
#

I think one is more popular than the other

#

Just a guess

#

i dont expect games like r6 or rocket league to be up there with Lol or csgo

#

those games have decades of history

karmic grotto
#

As long as they're paid...

#

F2p games have more potential generally

#

They should have gone F2p route since the beginning and from there, working out the issue

hot heart
#

Overwatch 2 is going to be a major rehaul

karmic grotto
#

Why do they assume, that everyone that has Internet or a pc, can afford to buy overwatch? Might as well make it free to play with your own usual dlc packages or skins and focus on esports instead of making money

hot heart
#

The problem is

#

blizzard doesnt build up hype for OW/OW2

true hound
#

balance the game properly first and add actual content

#

b4 f2p

hot heart
#

Yeah

true hound
#

if they go to f2p they better have a meaty battlepass

#

because ow cosmetics are reaally fucking good

balmy wolf
#

yea the game was going fine until brig and mercy killed a lot of casual interest

true hound
#

mhm

balmy wolf
#

the game was cheap

true hound
#

you cant yoink your playerbase by keeping double sniper around and adding brig and shit

karmic grotto
#

Super Jump should have never existed

true hound
#

regardless

#

just little things would add to the game

#

like a proper tutorial

#

or 6v6 ranked/clans system

karmic grotto
#

I tried the tutorial a few months ago, well, that was a freaking sad experience

true hound
#

customizability of cosmetics (mixing and matching weapons)

#

etc. etc.

#

yea the tutorial is mad scuffed lmao

balmy wolf
#

but lets be real, has blizzard really had a good esports scene with any of their games?

#

no not really

true hound
#

oof

karmic grotto
#

They don't listen

#

They just don't care about us

#

We want a good game, a good pro scene, balance

#

Instead, they focus on getting recognition for starting a world wide competition. The idea on long term is good, but if you can't solve short term issues...

plush grail
#

They just throw cash at things

#

And expect a good league

#

It kinda worked

karmic grotto
#

Yes, Until

#

Nate went to epic

karmic grotto
#

When they will do everything right what Blizzard did wrong

cobalt spoke
true hound
#

lmao

wanton birch
#

If shock get the threepeat is it safe to say main key to their success is crusty ?

silk frost
#

lmao

#

bro it was safe to say that in season 1

raw ermine
#

Choihyobin viol2t and crusty

#

the only players/coaches to be there and active 100% of the time

wanton birch
#

Imo as long as long as shock has viol2t and crusty they will always be top 3

#

Viol2t is just a nut

tropic herald
#

Many players talk of Viol2t giving off an in game presence as

#

Some other players are on this list

#

Striker, Kevster, Void

true hound
#

decay

#

def

earnest leaf
#

Viol2t has a pure chad presence at all times

true hound
#

indeed

#

equal to bumper

tropic herald
#

Raid boss on Zen

wanton birch
#

Viol2ts been in my friends games and he seems like a dick, but hey he’s good at games

true hound
#

lol

wanton birch
#

What do you think the current rankings look like ?

earnest leaf
#

shock still at top tbh

#

it's hard to tell since these rosters are super new

#

For all we know shock could be 4th

stuck radish
#

a lot of ppl are setting dallas to win already

wanton birch
#

I’m thinking shock>Dallas>Shanghai/glads>Justice

earnest leaf
#

Dallas should be good

tropic herald
#

Too many empty rosters to tell rn

earnest leaf
#

but I think people are overrating them

tropic herald
#

Ask me in like 4 months then I’ll know

wanton birch
#

Then dark horse teams I have Toronto, spark or hunters possible top 5 or 6

true hound
#

i think if dallas makes work of their roster

#

they can definitely smack

#

justice as well

wanton birch
#

If they don’t holy shit

true hound
#

if ria & bebe work out, Justice will be nasty

earnest leaf
#

they better hope they don't get a double hitscan meta

true hound
#

considering you have Decay, the big dick carry himself

wanton birch
#

Yeah but I feel that’s a big if

true hound
#

Fury AND Mag

wanton birch
#

They have top tier tanks , a top tier dps then a bunch of punts imo

true hound
#

i believe

#

sup7eme or whatever said they were quite good

wanton birch
#

Pre best gm as well

true hound
#

now seoul

#

i wonder who theyre gonna sign

#

do they still have marve1 and toyou?

wanton birch
#

People are over rating them

#

I think they have marvel

tropic herald
#

Seoul dropped ToYou sadge

wanton birch
#

Imo people seem to be ignoring the majority of last season and the signings they made while crowd pleasing arent game changers

#

But who knows , gesture and profit might do their magic again

cobalt spoke
#

Might

next mesa
#

WHAT THEY DID

true hound
#

will

cobalt spoke
#

Hope

true hound
#

w i l l

#

now for philly

cobalt spoke
#

Profit was literally mediocre for most of this year

true hound
#

have they announced anything

next mesa
#

That means

true hound
#

ay yo

#

someone cancel yubo

wanton birch
#

What about glads ?

true hound
#

u cant do shit as a dps when ur team is inconsistent af

next mesa
#

They got jjanu

wanton birch
#

Top three support lines

true hound
#

unless ur decay

cobalt spoke
#

So

#

What changed about that

#

Soeul will still be bad

next mesa
#

@cobalt spoke you got profit and then you got playoff profit

true hound
#

did they hire new coaches yet

next mesa
cobalt spoke
#

No

true hound
#

ye

next mesa
#

No zalty

true hound
#

2 separate entities

#

one is a godly form

#

they dropped wizardhyeong right?

cobalt spoke
#

Profit was bad in the season 2 playoffs too

next mesa
#

Yeah which kinda sucks

wanton birch
#

Gladiators with kevster and birdring on lan😩

true hound
#

bro

cobalt spoke
#

In even numbered seasons playoffs profit doesnt exist

true hound
#

everyone has been saying kevster has potential to be the best player

cobalt spoke
#

Aka this next season

true hound
#

ur just scared

cobalt spoke
#

Me?

true hound
#

so ur saying it wont happen

#

y e s

wanton birch
#

Just hope that muze doesn’t disappoint

cobalt spoke
#

Of that mediocre souel team?

#

Face it

wanton birch
#

Gladiators and main tanks is just pain

true hound
#

pls make work of kevster pls make work of kevster

cobalt spoke
#

They wont

#

Glads will find a new way to be not good

true hound
#

kevster is a filthy player

#

smashes everyone on eu ladder

#

contendies too

wanton birch
#

I mean kevster has good stats with 200 ping

#

I’m pretty confident birdring kevster will be pretty good

next mesa
#

Kevster has potential to be as good as the shock dps

#

According to

wanton birch
#

They wanted him didn’t they ?

true hound
#

idk

#

if kevster got shock itd probably be all over

#

but glads kept him

wanton birch
#

If glads don’t do well , it’s time to ditch dpei

true hound
#

birdring widow is also preetty fucking good

#

just inconsistent

wanton birch
#

Not even

#

It’s more he was forced to play different stuff due to kevster

true hound
#

i guess

wanton birch
#

Like when they ran double sniper on havana

true hound
#

i think his widow is def up there we just didnt get to see a lot of it

wanton birch
#

Hear me out though

#

Where do glads place if they sign rascal

raw ermine
#

Muze Space Rascal Birdring Moth Shu

#

they reunite toronto esports

#

which is cracked

#

they reunite kongdoo panthera

#

which is cracked

#

they played a top 3 korean MT this year plus the best NA OT

#

which is

#

well

#

cracked

#

so yeah

#

that'd be cracked

#

top 6

wanton birch
#

So sad ,all that just to be the top 5 gate keeper once again XD

raw ermine
#

I am being conservative

#

so possibly better

wanton birch
#

Fair

#

With chengdu should we presume yveltal is only two way so he can act as a mentor for team chaser during off season?

#

I can’t see him not starting next season

cobalt spoke
#

They are cursed

next mesa
#

Didn't say they're gonna be

tawdry hamlet
#

Wait they dropped rascal because he's expensive then signed nero and kept ta1yo ok

next mesa
#

doubt they dropped rascal

#

prob wanted to leave

tawdry hamlet
next mesa
#

the third championship always hardest to do

#

warriors miami spurs lakers rockets

#

ALL FAILED

balmy wolf
#

Who thought Homestands would be a profitable idea

#

Didn’t they lose money from those

digital cloud
#

the people who did not know about covid

next mesa
#

homestands are profitable lol

#

covid just became a thing

digital cloud
#

you know, that unexpected thing that made homestands not happen

balmy wolf
#

They made no money each homestand

#

Look it up

next mesa
#

source

hot heart
#

Wait

#

What

hidden vault
#

Shock has 5 dps again? Or is it 4?

silk frost
#

4

balmy wolf
hidden vault
#

They aren't getting a main support back up as always

hidden vault
next mesa
#

the second one

#

kobe and pau

balmy wolf
#

@hidden vault back to back to back

next mesa
#

yes 3 consecutive

balmy wolf
#

it was the kobe/shaq duo

next mesa
#

mj 3 peated 2 times, that's why he's the goat

balmy wolf
#

i dont expect shock to do it again

#

even in esports its stupidly hard to do

hot heart
#

If you had to name

#

The signle best player in OWL rn

#

Who would it be?

balmy wolf
#

there isnt

hot heart
#

Actually

#

Top 4

balmy wolf
#

u can say best in role

hot heart
#

Yeah

#

Who would those be

next mesa
#

profit fleta rascal viol2t

balmy wolf
#

and also depends on what your criteria is

hot heart
#

Who's shown the most skill

next mesa
#

profit fleta rascal viol2t

#

in my opinion

hot heart
#

Hmm

balmy wolf
#

i would just go by roles

hot heart
#

I think

#

Smurf

#

Void

#

Rascal

#

Or profit

balmy wolf
#

there isnt a true goat since that doesnt exist expect in hockey

next mesa
#

mj

#

is the goat

hot heart
#

And viol2t

next mesa
#

does hockey have a goat

balmy wolf
#

yes and its not even close

next mesa
#

I guess lebron is kinda close

#

honestly lebron gotta get another ring to pass kareem but thats just me

balmy wolf
#

i would put striker pretty high on the goat dps list

hot heart
#

Yeah

#

His tracer is just unrivaled

#

His mccree is sick

balmy wolf
#

choi is probs the closest goat OT in the game rn

hot heart
#

Yeah

next mesa
#

void

#

i'd take void over choi tbh because of his zarya

hot heart
#

Hasnf been playing long enough and hasnt won a championship

next mesa
#

and they are about equal

balmy wolf
#

void has only recently show top tier play

next mesa
#

void was around since apex

#

no

#

he got to the finals

#

in s3

#

apex

#

map 7 lost to lunatic hai

balmy wolf
#

and yet choi has done a lot more in his time in t1

hot heart
#

Yeah

balmy wolf
#

consistency matters

next mesa
#

he was in gladiators

#

my guy

hot heart
#

Okay

#

He wasnt good then

earnest leaf
#

Although void was stellar this past season, choi has shown consistency and has won multiple things

hot heart
#

Rn in terms of skill

#

Id say void is a bit better

#

He's the current best OT

#

But

#

In the past two years

#

Choi has had the consitent top tier play

#

Next year void would be valid for GOAT candidate i think

next mesa
#

striker is pretty great

balmy wolf
#

not sure about MT

next mesa
#

honestly in terms of achievements

balmy wolf
#

I guess the easy answer is smurf

next mesa
#

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#

did he get a role star

balmy wolf
#

idk

hot heart
#

I think so

next mesa
#

I think fearless got it

#

instead of him

balmy wolf
#

gesture is close but hes on and off

hot heart
#

Yeah actually

#

Ye

next mesa
#

yeah gesture in terms of achievements

hot heart
#

Id say smurf

#

Anyone on shock has a huge advantage basically

balmy wolf
#

i wouldnt be worry if super left and they just had smurf really

hot heart
#

Yeah

#

He could learn the rein

#

Wouldnt be better than supers

#

Probably

#

But

#

Would still be good

#

Now

#

What MS has really impressed

#

I think its moth

#

Looking at the past 2 seasons

next mesa
#

in terms of achievements

#

tobi

balmy wolf
#

i dont really look at season 1 anymore since its the competition ever since dwarfs it

#

but tobi is good answer

#

ig

#

if you're talking pre owl

#

anamo is up there but hasnt won shit besides stage playoffs

next mesa
#

I mean u got 2 back to back apex titles and a second place finish in owl

#

not too ba

#

d

balmy wolf
#

its really the apex titles

#

ig guess the game hasnt been out long enough to really see how good players can be

next mesa
#

Did you know ryujehong was back to back mvps as well, cuz I didn't know lmfao

balmy wolf
#

in apex?

next mesa
#

yea

balmy wolf
#

makes sense

#

he was the best flex support in that period

next mesa
#

best player

#

"who do u think is best"

#

"ryujehong what kinda question is that chigga"

balmy wolf
#

out of all the lunatics players ryu has the longest impact on the game

#

besides tobi

next mesa
#

maybe miro

#

literally jeff kaplan was like

#

winston dont need a buff man look at miro

balmy wolf
#

miro is a legend along with ryu

#

they innovated on heroes

#

more like they made the hero what it is

next mesa
#

they're gonna be the steph curry of overwatch

balmy wolf
#

just too bad miro fell off

#

and never returned

next mesa
#

tragic

balmy wolf
#

both of the legendary KR squads, runaway and lunatic both collaspe

#

at least runaway cemented themselves as one the best in owl

#

lunatic hai never was top 5 in owl

next mesa
#

guys if esca and whoru was on the team they would've won 🗿

balmy wolf
#

ya think whoru is gonna come back?

#

i dont think so imo

hot heart
#

The Ryujehong era, the Jjonak era and the Viol2t era

next mesa
#

did we give any attention to viol2t last year

balmy wolf
#

kind of funny jjonaks best hero was not even zen it was ana

next mesa
#

I swear it was all twilight

balmy wolf
#

no it was dps year in s2 for mvp

next mesa
#

dps year?

balmy wolf
#

sin, haksal, seo, all were in running for mvp

next mesa
#

not haksal

balmy wolf
#

wait i dont think seo was in

next mesa
#

was seomonisoo?

#

mvps was

#

super guxue jjanu twilight sinatraa

balmy wolf
#

balmy wolf
#

next mesa

#

Seo>Sinatraa on zarya change my mind

Also Vancouver>shock at goats

balmy wolf

No nuance November

next mesa
#

choi sig was just better tha jjanu

#

and then the tankline change

#

was just all over the place man

earnest leaf
#

titans were better at first but shock eventually got better than them at goats

next mesa
#

was the second stage all goats

earnest leaf
#

I think so

#

stage 3 teams started to do more dps shenanigans

#

then stage 4 was role lock

balmy wolf
#

it was goats all the up until stage 3

#

dragons were the only ones really doing well with dps comps

next mesa
#

chengdu MeiHeh

balmy wolf
#

too bad they were meh

raw ermine

no he was going to the outlaws

#

He wanted to stay with happy

#

noble nexus
#

yeah that's what I mean

balmy wolf
#

outlaws got snuffed out once again

noble nexus

#

they're not doing too bad this offseason to be fair

Just incase the mux of chinese and korean doesnt work

#

Really smart

But that means if the mix doesnt work

#

The whole lunatic hai roster don't have a team rn. Can you imagine a team pick team all up together.... Esca whoru gido miro zunba rjh tobi

hot onyx
#

Back in the day they absolutely dominated but idk how alot of them would hold up against the top parts of the league

#

Whoru and Tobi were the only ones to play in season three except rjh who played before titans disbanded

#

And even then imo jehong didn’t look like he was keeping up with the higher parts of the league

plush grail
#

imo if those players really tried

#

they could become good ass players again

hot onyx
#

They would be good but could they keep up with the top part of the league?

trail perch
#

No way, the level has progressed a shit ton since early apex

#

Like we live in a society where Kaiser is a mid tier contenders rein one trick

hot onyx
#

Yeah that’s what I was thinking

trail perch
#

imo maybe tobi whoru and rjh could get teams

hot onyx
#

Muma was considered a top mt season 1 now he was benched for a flex dps player

trail perch
#

but Gido after washington...

#

Miro after miro...

plush grail
#

what about esca

trail perch
#

and Zunba after seoul

plush grail
#

we never saw esca's skill go down

trail perch
#

Was esca in owl?

plush grail
#

he just had to leave for military

trail perch
#

Oh then hes prob washed now

#

if he was in military for 3 years

#

Not grinding ow

hot onyx
#

Nah real shooting gives him the game sense and aim he needs for fake shooting

trail perch
#

fsfs

hot onyx
#

He makes ans carpe and lip look like bottom tier contenders players if he comes back

solar bison
#

Yeah

trail perch
#

But Bumper, jjanu, stich, hooreg lft...

solar bison
#

Esca learned real aim

trail perch
#

and slime...

solar bison
#

So his will be top tier in OWL

trail perch
#

and if someone could take haksal out of retirement...

plush grail
#

honestly if we get a zarya meta

#

zunba could fuck

trail perch
#

Seominsoo?

#

Decay?

#

Nenne?

hot onyx
#

Hydration?

trail perch
#

There are a shit ton of good zaryas

#

nah

#

nah

#

Hydration bad zarya

hot onyx
#

Ikik I’m meming

trail perch
#

k just making sure

plush grail
#

yeah ofcourse every hero has good players

#

but does that mean zunba can't have a good zarya???

trail perch
#

But like zunbas zarya was never the top tier

#

in owl

karmic grotto
#

He never had the chance

trail perch
#

Late s1?

karmic grotto
#

To actually work for it

#

LAte?

#

you said

plush grail
#

was zarya ever meta in s1?

karmic grotto
#

it

#

late

trail perch
#

yeah

#

stage 4

#

rein zarya

karmic grotto
#

Late S1, he didn't have much time

#

Didn't do much in S2 goats meta either

#

barely

trail perch
#

There was an entire stage of rein zarya

#

Zunba was washed

karmic grotto
#

one stage

trail perch
#

Yeah, a whole stage

#

Stages are a lot of time

#

especially in s1

#

they where 10 matches

echo shell
#

I mean a team can just pick up all these lunatic hai player and get a huge fan base. They don't have to be top tier in the league and just be middle of the packs. It is so difficult to get a championship anyway when half of the league is looking to build a super team

#

THEY SIGN LIBERO

#

APFIVSNWMVOWNGWSPRGIUNESWPFIS

weak bolt
#

I reckon someone new for the coaching staff honestly

silk frost
#

who would make this big of a wave

limber pine
#

has to be either main support or main tank no?

#

or a coach

next mesa
#

main tank?

#

their main tank lineup is the most complete in the league doe KaplanThink

worn falcon
#

MT they filled

#

maybe OT

next mesa
#

yeah

limber pine
#

err sorry offtank

next mesa
#

choi plays everything

worn falcon
#

they only have Choi

#

Or Super Sigma

#

unless they go 2 hitscan, 3 flex dps

limber pine
#

or maybe they've re-signed Rascal

worn falcon
#

Do they have someone to replace moth?

limber pine
#

FDGod

worn falcon
#

True

#

Forgot him lol

silk frost
#

maybe they sign SanGuiNar as a backup

worn falcon
#

Maybe they trying to clone Crusty

silk frost
#

MAYBE THEY SIGN MOON

#

AT DPS

worn falcon
#

i dont know, Shock have everything covered

#

except OT

#

or coaching.

silk frost
#

Main support

weak bolt
#

Only other thing I could see would be if they made a trade with another team. Like swapping Twilight for someone

next mesa
#

why would you swap twilight for anyone doe

#

ana is like viol2t's only weakness

worn falcon
#

I'm thinking in a OT

#

Maybe Mek0

weak bolt
#

Maybe Twilight wants more play time, they dont seem to hold onto players if they want to leave

worn falcon
#

:(

silk frost
#

aw

#

buddy

#

no

#

we love you

next mesa
weak bolt
#

Benbest will probably end up on the Kruise contenders team and make more money than most OWL teams anyway

karmic grotto
rare magnet
#

we have got news

weak bolt
#

Rumours all true then. Decent pickups, nothing special

rare magnet
#

linkzr

next mesa
#

linkzr

#

I guess titans is the best he can do

#

really sad

weak bolt
#

I just like having Linkzr in the community honestly

hot heart
#

Okay so

#

Fire: anything is better than last years support line.

Frd: he's decent

Linkzr: ???

worn falcon
#

dink dink dink

hot heart
#

I get it from vancouvers perspective

worn falcon
#

since they released cockwave

hot heart
#

But

#

Did he really not get any other offers

#

If so

weak bolt
#

Probably not

hot heart
#

Thats sad as fuck

#

I'd imagine a team like paris would trial him

weak bolt
#

Only other team would maybe be Spitfire, but I suspect they might grab Soon

hot heart
#

Ye

#

I meaj

#

Already

#

Vancouver look a bit better than last year

weak bolt
#

I'd probably take Titans over Paris as well if i were Linkzr

hot heart
#

But keeping shredlock is the largest mistake ever

#

Just

#

Why

next mesa
#

no keeping roolf is

weak bolt
#

yeah its strange. Maybe they believe they can coach out the feed from him during off season

hot heart
#

At best

#

Shredlock ends up being okay

#

But wtf is roolf doing on the roster

#

Didnt even realise he was resigned

weak bolt
#

he's canadian

hot heart
#

The best part about this roster is the dps line atm

#

And even then

#

Not great

#

Ksf to vancouver could be decent

plush grail
#

titans is gonna be like bottom 5 instead of bottom 2 now

weak bolt
#

They're a $50k a year team with a couple of players you could probably consider marketable. Thats about it

silk frost
#

Roolf is okay

worn falcon
#

Maybe Vanc can be top 2 team again

plush grail
#

top 2 with linkzr and fire pog

weak bolt
#

Shredlock is Canadian too. Maybe they're hoping for chance at RL based events

#

Wow

worn falcon
#

WTF

plush grail
#

???

weak bolt
#

Shock are just going full Thanos mode

plush grail
#

glister to shock??

hot heart
#

Uhhh

#

What????

weak bolt
#

ANS, Striker, Glister, Taiyo and Nero. Fucking hell

worn falcon
#

another hitscan?

hot heart
#

See

plush grail
#

but like they have ans and striker who cover every hitscan right?

weak bolt
#

Glister can hitscan & flex

hot heart
#

Now im extremely confused

worn falcon
#

Bro

hot heart
#

Yeah but

#

Nero can also do that

#

What does glister play that nero cant

#

And why is ta1yo on the roster now

worn falcon
#

are they gonna release ANS?

plush grail
hot heart
#

This makes no sense

worn falcon
#

Or was because ANS breakdown

#

so they need a reliable hitscan

weak bolt
#

It's Shock, they'll make it work

#

I can't think of any dps hero that Shock aren't covered for now though

plush grail
#

is shock gonna have players focus on grinding 1 hero as much as possible?

worn falcon
#

i was expecting a OT tbh

#

not a DPS

#

they gonna burnout Choi

silk frost
#

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

tropic herald
#

Glister isn’t just hitscan

silk frost
#

GLISTER?!

#

GLISTER IS A FREAK

tropic herald
#

He’s a decay type of player

silk frost
#

THIS IS

#

HE'S

#

GLISTER

earnest leaf
#

God andy miller is the richest fucking man

weak bolt
#

Honestly, Glister/Nero with Crusty coaching sounds nasty, before you even consider the other 3

tropic herald
#

I’m also very excited for these players on Shock Bc the media team will actually let me see the players personality

limber pine
#

Glister was probably cheap

hot heart
#

Nah

plush grail
#

yeah he came off a super bad year with london

hot heart
#

Not cheap

#

But

tropic herald
#

Glister probably cheap for shock but expensive for London

hot heart
#

Not expensive

solar bison
#

Glister not bad

#

Ans just better

plush grail
#

why would glister be expensive

hot heart
#

This still makes no sense

solar bison
#

Did something happen to AnS?

hot heart
#

Wait

#

Right

#

Forgot

solar bison
#

What happened

hot heart
#

ANS has had problems with depression

solar bison
#

Oh

hot heart
#

So he might need breaks during 2021

plush grail
#

also are orgs announcing stuff after plat chat on purpose lmaoooo

worn falcon
#

Yeah, he had a breakdown months ago

hot heart
#

Glister could play for him

worn falcon
#

so they need a stable hitscan

weak bolt
#

It might be they want ANS to focus on less heroes ot help his mental health

solar bison
#

So glister is backup, plus glister has big potential

hot heart
#

Yeah

solar bison
#

Good move crusty

weak bolt
#

You could have ANS play Widow/Ashe, which Glister focuses Mcree/Ashe for example

gilded dagger
#

OMGMGMGMGMGMGOGGMGKGOGMGMGOGM GMG

worn falcon
#

unless they release ANS

silk frost
#

FUCKING G L I S T E R

#

he's a mega flex

gilded dagger
#

SHOCK SIGNED GLISTER???????!!!!!!!!!

hot heart
#

Yeah

plush grail
gilded dagger
#

WTFWTFWTFTWWTFWTET

weak bolt
#

Is Striker not already basically a tracer specialist?

hot heart
#

And learn sombea

#

*sombra

silk frost
#

bro

gilded dagger
#

honestly if double hitscan meta comes shcok wilm dominate

stuck radish
#

3peat time

weak bolt
#

Glister also has a nasty Doomfist honestly

gilded dagger
#

3peat boia

silk frost
#

Striker plays Hanzo, Cree, Tracer, and Pharah and widow

stuck radish
#

does nero or glister have a good zarya

wanton birch
#

Glister and shockwave the real winners of season 3

gilded dagger
#

ans is a hitscan specialist

wanton birch
#

Happy for them seeing they got put on such bad teams

plush grail
#

interesting to see how this turns out

#

cause taiyo is also still on the bench

#

so crusty is gonna be a busy boy

plush light
#

Glister is a flex dps, like linkzr

weak bolt
#

Shock just out here full on memeing on platchat now

stuck radish
#

we lost sinatraa and rascal but now we have nero and glister

trail perch
#

Glister is hitscan

#

not flex

plush grail
#

wow you know you're making really fuckin weird moves if SIDESHOW of all people predicted it

weak bolt
#

Glister plays Doom too, he isn't pure hitscan

hazy stream
#

Glisterrr

trail perch
#

Like carpe then

hazy stream
#

Hes nastyyy

plush light
#

Glister also plays genji and hanzo

hazy stream
#

Didn't play any doom on OWL

#

Nor hanzo

trail perch
#

but now shock have 4 primarily hitscan player

plush light
#

Like linkzr

trail perch
#

fucking ans striker ta1yo and glister

weak bolt
#

3 primary hitscan really. Ans/Glister/Striker

#

Ta1yo is more projectile

trail perch
#

Did you watch him in contenders?

stuck radish
#

ta1yo is gonna dominate this season

#

mark my words

weak bolt
#

Because he played it in a meta, doesn't mean thats his best heroes

trail perch
#

His talent was on hitscan like ashe and tracer

#

Thats where he popped off

#

thats where he was noticed

next mesa
#

THEY SIGNED GLISTER??????

weak bolt
#

He was forced onto hitscan because of the meta, he's said that himself, he prefers flex/projectile

next mesa
#

YOOOO OKAY

trail perch
#

YEAHHHH

next mesa
#

OKAY OKAY OKAY

trail perch
#

SHOCK NOW HAS 4 HITSCAN

#

ITS TOO MUCH

#

LIKE S2 DALLAS

hazy stream
#

They just bought him so other teams didn't

weak bolt
#

They probably bought him because Crusty sees potential to make him a star player in OW

stuck radish
#

shock is gonna run like 2 dps the whole season and keep the other 3 on the bench

weak bolt
#

and this channel always speculates that S4 will be on OW2, so maybe they're expecting more heroes to learn

stuck radish
#

true

#

what if sojourn becomes meta

cobalt spoke
#

She will be

#

When has a new hero not been meta

stuck radish
#

echo

cobalt spoke
#

Echo was meta like a mont after release

#

Even if she wasnt that broken

stuck radish
#

echo was relevant for like 2 weeks

#

not even meta

cobalt spoke
#

2 weeks is enough

#

It also wasnt 2 weeks

#

It was a whole month immdiately after rein d.va meta

plush light
stuck radish
#

she was not meta in double shield

#

ashe was meta for quite a while

#

ashe mercy

plush light
#

Not at pro level

cobalt spoke
#

Ashe

#

The only hero that wasnt meta immediately

plush light
#

And brig

stuck radish
#

ball

#

ana

plush grail
#

wait was glister a fa or did he get bought out

weak bolt
#

FA

cobalt spoke
#

Ana was broken on release

weak bolt
#

Spitfire released him

stuck radish
#

ana was trash on release

cobalt spoke
#

Ball took 1 month to become meta

plush grail
plush light
#

Brig wasn't realized until later because in playoffs there was that weird double sniper triple tank meta

stuck radish
#

ball is the staple of not playing meta

earnest leaf
#

how good is glister at sombra

cobalt spoke
#

What do you think season 3 was?

stuck radish
#

double shield

cobalt spoke
#

Stage 3

#

I mean

plush light
#

Playoffs always have the worst metas

cobalt spoke
#

Stage 3 included alot of ball

weak bolt
#

Ball has never really been meta unless you're a chinese panda team

cobalt spoke
#

Umm

stuck radish
#

you can look at every meta in the history of OW and none of them have ball in it

cobalt spoke
#

Right now

#

Ball is meta right now

stuck radish
#

no he isnt

#

tf

cobalt spoke
#

Well

#

Not so much anynore

weak bolt
#

He's somewhat meta on control maps, but that's it

cobalt spoke
#

But go 3 weeks back

#

And you have 2 weeks of ball meta

plush grail
#

yeatle will make ball meta

stuck radish
#

there was no true meta at that time

cobalt spoke
#

Yes there was

stuck radish
#

it was a mess

cobalt spoke
#

Not really

#

Everybody was playing ball d.va and it was obvoius

earnest leaf
#

trying to figure out the meta without owl is a bit dumb

cobalt spoke
#

Or ball sigma

stuck radish
#

yea we should wait until owl comes on to see the meta

cobalt spoke
#

Contenders always plays the same things as owl anyway

stuck radish
#

watch its like

cobalt spoke
#

Whats the point

stuck radish
#

rein ball or something stupid

cobalt spoke
#

No

#

Who was playing that?

#

One team on half a point?

#

Nobody

stuck radish
#

im talking about when owl comes on you donut

cobalt spoke
#

You're the donut if you think its going to be ball rein

stuck radish
#

anything can happen

cobalt spoke
#

Yea

#

But I garuntee you ball rein wont

stuck radish
#

you never know for sure

cobalt spoke
#

Yes I do

stuck radish
#

who would've thought the washington justice would do better in the playoffs than the entire season

#

you just never know

#

anything can happen with the meta

cobalt spoke
#

That was just decay

#

All the other good teams played sigma hog

#

The meta didnt change you 🍩

karmic grotto
#

glister huh

#

glister cheap?

#

from cheap to expensive after crusty coaching

balmy wolf
#

Im surprised this didnt get leaked

tropic herald
digital cloud
#

joobie? is that the same guy as joobi?

weak bolt
#

Yeah

#

I'm amazed that there is no news at all coming out of Mayhem

plush light
#

Stich hog and jjanu sigma?

weak bolt
#

They couldnt run sigma hog, its why they stuck to Zarya until the very end basically

plush light
#

Does ttuba play sigma?

#

On stream

digital cloud
#

isn't he a dps?

limber pine
#

yeah

#

but decay played zarya

#

sinatraa played zarya

digital cloud
#

yeah, but dps I don't think usually play sigma

worn falcon
next mesa
#

well he did say that he wont be reporting paris this season

#

out of respect for avalla

weak bolt
#

Can't leak a roster that doesn't exist 😄 but yeah he's being respectful to Avalla

limber pine
#

teams are going to play whoever is the best

#

Hydration was fucking main tank this year

digital cloud
#

and Muma is still a tank

#

in contenders now

worn falcon
#

*Muma is a ball player

raw ermine
#

damn linkzr frd and fire

limber pine
#

if a team's best Sigma is their off-support, then they should play him/her

digital cloud
#

but after that, and he is still a tank

#

linkzr actually looked rather decent near the end

#

if he could be consistent, he would be great

#

problem was that he wasn't, and that was probably due to being on houston

#

surprised he would want to go to a team worse than Houston though

#

the Titans are like boston level now

#

even worse than boston

#

at least boston wasn't trying to get pedophiles

#

dropping runaway was intentional

hot heart
#

Both orgs are ass

limber pine
#

If it's either Vancouver or not in OWL

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

balmy wolf
#

so shock have 5 dps

#

again

#

ig this make sense if OWL is rumored to start with ow2

next mesa
#

yeah

#

then honestly I think ta1yo will get benched by glister

stuck radish
#

ta1yo got benched by super

#

so maybe

next mesa
#

facts

#

ta1yo when super lost against jake he was like "I got benched by super" and then proceeded to get 5-0ed by viol2t

stuck radish
#

to be fair viol2t is like the best player in the game

next mesa
#

facts

true hound
#

no

#

profit overwatch

next mesa
#

profit doesn't count

true hound
#

then muma

next mesa
#

he said player

#

profit is God

true hound
#

ah ah I see

next mesa
#

God is not human

#

yeah

true hound
#

mfers better sign

#

Muma as player

#

and Roar as a coach

stuck radish
#

nah

true hound
#

imagine if titans got that tank line

stuck radish
#

profit bad

true hound
#

shut

stuck radish
#

couldnt carry seoul hard enough

true hound
#

wait wait did Titans release

#

KSAA?

weak bolt
#

yes

#

He got dropped very early, along with carcar

true hound
#

I get carcar but why ksaa

#

He was quite good

#

200 ping warlord

#

him and shockwave always did quite well

balmy wolf
#

visa stuff maybe?

true hound
#

idk

#

At least Linkzr got signed

next mesa
#

@spring sequoia no

digital cloud
#

just hoping Houston gets a tank soon

#

did Fissure give up permanently?

#

if so, he might be a legitimate and pretty much the only option that I can think of for a good mt

next mesa
#

u forgot bumper

digital cloud
#

uhhh

#

well

#

no, I pretty much don't think he would be a good option

next mesa
#

also we dont even know if fissure is lft

hot heart
#

Bumper is the biggest risk a team could take rn

digital cloud
#

that is why I asked

hot heart
#

On MT

#

He could have dropped off hard

#

Or

#

Even if he didn't

#

He needs a good team to support him

#

So most teams cant pick him up

next mesa
#

best rein

#

better than super

next mesa
digital cloud
#

such a shame

#

I think fissure is likely still pretty good

#

unless he has given up entirely

#

which, to be honest, he might have

obtuse socket
#

pick up libero

solar bison
#

I wouldnt blame him if he gave up

worn falcon
#

Pumper and Fissure gave up

#

i havent saw new of them

plush light
#

Did rck retire?

solar bison
#

The one time he wants to play, he gets fucked up by Vancouver

worn falcon
#

last one from Pumper was doing scrims with some Runaway/LH players iirc?

#

and last one from Fissure was him doing the Frozen cosplay

raw ermine
#

he did retired, went to valorant

plush light
#

Sad

#

I liked rck

#

Dalton is a hitscan, linkzr is finally allowed to flex.

#

In your dps you want a hitscan, a flex, and a projectile.

next mesa
#

isn't linkzr hitscan as well

digital cloud
#

I think someone mentioned him being flex

#

though I thought he was hitscan

#

he does play genji

balmy wolf
#

He’s like Taimou, just kinda plays whatever

#

But know for Widow
