shanghai dragons had a female player too, but she hasn't player a single minuite

silk frost
#

EM have a new player named OwO

#

She's support I believe, hasn't been in yet

inland flare
#

They do???

idle gorge
#

ofc the female player is a support

#

is the player known in the scene tho

inland flare
#

No she's most likely a noob

#

She's probably t2 ready I guess

idle gorge
#

so you're saying they baught her just to let people see, see we're for female players in the ow e-sports scene

silk frost
#

Can you like... Wait and see?

inland flare
#

Idek wtf ur saying

silk frost
#

Fits and SanGuiNar were nothing until signed to OWL, this could be a similar case. Don't assume "feemale = pandering"

idle gorge
#

i didn't say that

#

yooooo a dutch player in owl

#

i love the mixed roster for paris

#

all different countries

hidden vault
idle gorge
#

i just wanna know if she's known

silk frost
#

Nope

#

Unknown prospect

#

I trust EM though, their scouting is good

sullen berry
karmic grotto
#

xD

#

gotta have some personality in the league

#

Anyway

#

Eternal still better than Titans

#

Can't wait to see how Daan and Naga will perform

balmy wolf
#

yoooo germany in owl again poooog

edgy tinsel
#

i thought EM was disbanding?

karmic grotto
#

No

edgy tinsel
karmic grotto
#

well

#

maybe they wanted to compete one last time before disbanding

#

I think T2 is not that profitable even in Korea

primal minnow
#

they said they would be participating in gauntlet

#

and as well their 'disbanding' is more of a hiatus leave

hot heart
#

Ye

edgy tinsel
#

jihun retired but hes playing gaunlet?

#

did he come out of retirement

noble nexus
#

Boston dps line actually looking quite good

#

They get a good MS and they’re looking like a solid mid tier team

#

Which is better than they’ve ever been since crusty striker and gamsu

cedar oasis
#

They will still be bad

tawdry hamlet
#

Bruh they have a top 5 support, a shanghai tank and a winning korean contenders dps duo on top of their old roster they will be at least above some low tiers I hope

#

I really really really hope

#

I believe in boston dream ever since this series https://youtu.be/dBKmxcOo9KM

Lmao

#

Hydration on pharah go brr

plush light
#

Hydration's best hero is pharah

tawdry hamlet
#

He got beat by jerry on mcree lmao that whole series was a meme

#

And Danteh recalled off the map lmao

idle gorge
#

i think i'm changing ships from TD to paris

tawdry hamlet
#

Fair enough, but idk toronto look better imo, they have Heesu and sado who got philly top 4 last year while paris has a bunch of mid budget eu talent, albeit some good players but idk

idle gorge
#

no i'm fan of both

#

that's what i am

tawdry hamlet
#

I like chengdu for the meme of them being chengdu and trying to play ball constantly when it wasn't meta lmao

idle gorge
#

nah i like toronto cause i've been a fan of them since i started watching and now paris cause i like their roster with the mixed eu players, and partly cause they have the only dutch player in the league and because they play on times i can quite oftenly watch

tawdry hamlet
idle gorge
#

i'm not going to be a shipchanger like kenobi

noble nexus
#

I’m kind of hesitant to say I’m a shock fan since most shock fans are bandwagoning troglodytes after s2

#

😭

idle gorge
#

have you been shock fan since season 1?

noble nexus
#

Ya

#

Since they had dhak and sleepy and shit

tawdry hamlet
#

Wish I had old valiant genji skin for the agilities meme Megalul_a

#

But I didn't play back then really

#

Sadge

quartz cairn
#

no

mint turtle
#

@stark vapor generally we dont allow advertising here, sorry

if boston doesnt get valentine and faith they done fucked up doe

stark vapor
#

I tried to contact to admins via support tickets for this college research and they denied them for not being a predoctoral student. Also I cannot publish anything with links in the official forums. So I am pretty limited and I do not know how to ask for permission for publishing a google form survey

round spire
#

drop out

#

problem solved

stark vapor
tawdry hamlet
next mesa
#

please no

tawdry hamlet
#

Thing is, if he was in contenders he'd actually be pretty good lmao

raw ermine
#

maybe they can pull a myungbong 2.0?

tawdry hamlet
#

It's just league standards he can't even beat dalton or logix

#

Like that's a low bar man

#

Granted he is a flex and not a hitscan but dalton is a flex too lmao

trail perch
#

dalton was also bad

#

Lol

next mesa
#

on genji dude god it was hilarious

trail perch
#

It was soooo funny

#

He was awful

#

prob the second worst genji next to chex

tawdry hamlet
#

Fr

#

Yeah dalton is bad for sure but he was still above chex lmao

#

Chex is like a master's widow at best imma be real

#

Im sure even jerry was better than him

next mesa
#

id take jerry over dalton

tawdry hamlet
#

me too

#

his ashe wasn't too bad

#

just nothing special

slow kraken
#

Jerry had some potential ngl

tawdry hamlet
#

I think stitch was probably better for washington but I don't mind them picking up jerry

#

but stitch looked kind of nuts in playoffs

#

but then again the whole team did

cedar oasis
#

So the worst looking team is Vancouver

cobalt spoke
#

Yea

#

Maybe as bad comparatively as season 1 shanghai

edgy tinsel
#

no team is ever gonna be that bad

tawdry hamlet
#

idk I would like to think linkzr is good enough to make them not go 0-24 or whatever but idk

tidal ridge
#

lmao

#

trivia then the roster

raw ermine
#

imagine showing this to people b4 titans had their roster revealed

#

for the first time ever

tidal ridge
#

what

raw ermine
#

like b4 titans signed runaway

tidal ridge
#

whiich one

inland flare
#

I don't think Chex is going to be the worst DPS this season

#

The way he's been grinding, I kinda doubt that

tawdry hamlet
#

hmm I hope with better team we see some real improvement otherwise idk man

#

maybe one of the new untested pickups could be worse

#

but it is looking mighty chexy

#

tbh last season I might almost say saucy was worse than chex

raw ermine
#

y'all I just realized obey are fcked for gauntlet

cloud latch
#

why

raw ermine
#

they lost naga and kaan

#

1/3 of the team that beat BH

worn falcon
raw ermine
digital cloud
#

Wait, who is Hafficool again?

#

I vaguely remember something about that name

worn falcon
#

contendies player

#

BH, Envy, Eternal Academy and now Y and B

#

he was haffi before cool

cedar oasis
#

Nyxl dont do a florida

wide narwhal
#

who are the best pros in the world?

#

and best teams?

#

im new to ow

cedar oasis
#

Shock

#

Most people on shock r the best at their role

tawdry hamlet
#

Ans, Diem, Xzi are the top hitscan players, Profit is an insane flex

#

Sparkle is best genji

#

there are tons of insane players

#

or wait profit is projectile?

#

or if he flex

cedar oasis
#

He is everything

tawdry hamlet
#

I know he plays tracer sometimes but I also see him on pharah a lot and I think hanzo?

worn falcon
wide narwhal
#

is there like any super iconic moments that you guys can think of from esports games

cedar oasis
#

No

#

Eqo is no

wide narwhal
#

sorry for all the questions my friend got a job related to ow esports lol he doesnt know anything about it

tawdry hamlet
#

Eqo? idk man, sparkle still beat fusion a much better team in paris

#

and it was carpe vs xzi so it wasn't like the hitscan on one side carried either

cedar oasis
#

Shanghai dragons first win is pretty iconic

tawdry hamlet
#

or was that tracer meta so heesu vs soon?

#

I think it was double shield tracer genji but remember tracer widow too I think

#

and ashe

primal minnow
#

It was double shield, ashe, Genji

tawdry hamlet
#

ah yeah

#

so it was even match

#

xzi sparkle vs eqo carpe sado fury alarm and paris still came out on top

#

so honestly I think sparkle better than eqo

cedar oasis
#

Sparkle is definitely better than eqo

tawdry hamlet
#

tbh, I almost think agilities better than eqo genji

#

idk if I would go that far actually

harsh anvil
#

esports

tawdry hamlet
#

but maybe

cedar oasis
#

Eqo genji is like top 10

#

But not top 5

tawdry hamlet
#

where would you rank agilities in that?

#

out of curiosity

cedar oasis
#

Idk

#

Number 1 would be haksal

#

Then sparkle

tawdry hamlet
#

man I love haksal

#

I miss him sadgery2

#

eileen is pretty good too I think

cedar oasis
#

Profit

tawdry hamlet
#

yeah profit for sure

#

anyone who can do that on gibraltar is a solid genji lmao

cedar oasis
#

Fleta

tawdry hamlet
#

and eileen carried charge to a dub over shanghai so I know he is up there

#

fleta idk

#

maybe

cedar oasis
#

I would put super obove eqo

tawdry hamlet
#

I just remember waking up the next day and looking at the bracket expecting shanghai shock wins and then I saw paris charge and was lowkey shocked lol

#

is super genji actually good, I didn't watch the meme match where they played him

cedar oasis
#

He was ok

#

Was it Boston

tawdry hamlet
#

I believe

cedar oasis
#

Anyone can look good beating Boston

earnest leaf
#

He is a low gm genji

#

But all he had to do vs boston is followup with smurf

#

And since his mechanics aren't pure garbage, It went well

tawdry hamlet
#

man shock vs boston must have been funny af since every single role had a better player that was no contest way better on shock

#

like at least there are comparable players on other teams loll

#

myun was like the only comparable one and even then violet is just better

#

although violet has hella ego

earnest leaf
#

He earned it heh

tawdry hamlet
#

insert old clip of him telling someone to kill themselves for not switching off brig

#

lmao

raw ermine
#

he had smurf choi viol2t twilight and striker as teammates

tawdry hamlet
#

I meant switching off mercy whoops

earnest leaf
#

@raw ermine plug me in there and they could still beat some teams

cedar oasis
#

Will Boston be top 3 worst teams this season

tawdry hamlet
#

hmm

#

idk

earnest leaf
#

Hard to tell

raw ermine
#

yeah

cedar oasis
#

I think they will

raw ermine
#

and crusty's coaching

tawdry hamlet
#

Titans and maybe boston and maybe someone like atlanta

#

who else is looking bad in na

#

besides houston

#

since they always do

earnest leaf
#

Dallas shall be bottom 3

cedar oasis
#

London maybe

tawdry hamlet
#

I think happy piggy danteh

#

could be better than a lot of teams maybe

#

but danteh has some Pepega moments sometimes

earnest leaf
#

London/titans will be the worst I think

tawdry hamlet
#

I think London, Titans, and quite possibly reign if their dps don't carry hard enough

cedar oasis
#

I dont trust Boston the only reason they were decent season 1 was striker

tawdry hamlet
#

since pelican edison sharp are the only really good players there iirc

#

depends on if they get faith and valentine

#

if not easy bottom 3

#

if yes then idk

cedar oasis
#

Atlanta only really has coaching problems

tawdry hamlet
#

insert sym junkrat comp on route 66 here

earnest leaf
#

Atlanta will be meh again

tawdry hamlet
#

coaching on atlanta go brr sometimes

earnest leaf
#

The gatekeepers from trash teams and decent teams

tawdry hamlet
#

and they lost their star player

#

so I see gatekeepers

#

paris might be below them just barely again but they also look good

#

not good

#

but like mid

#

I think mid will be valiant houston paris mayhem

earnest leaf
#

Man next year is looking good

tawdry hamlet
#

unless mayhem swipe someone good

earnest leaf
#

Can't wait for a dogshit meta to plague owl all season

tawdry hamlet
#

can't wait for something wild like a genji meta to start the season making all the top tier teams without genji one tricks get rekt by dallas and lav

#

shock are weak on genji

earnest leaf
#

Is nero good at genji?

tawdry hamlet
#

not sure

earnest leaf
#

I know eileen was better

tawdry hamlet
#

I think eileen played him

raw ermine
#

probably

tawdry hamlet
#

did ta1yo play genji in summer showdown?

earnest leaf
#

No

#

Rascal did and pounded

tawdry hamlet
#

oh yeah we still don't know where rascal went wtf

#

I am guessing florida tbh

noble nexus
#

Philly

#

Probably

tawdry hamlet
#

but if they get rascal then why get shockwave if carpe can cover most of shockwaves heroes besides echo

#

and isn't eqo still there too

#

then again stacking extra dps seems to be a recurring theme this off season

noble nexus
#

The rascal stocks are insane

plush grail
#

shredlock > rascal

noble nexus
#

Only focusing on signing rascal is stupid considering how many teams will try to get him

tawdry hamlet
#

wut

#

idk about that

#

shredlock over rascal is a hot take lmao

cedar oasis
#

Wait

#

What top teams need a flex dps

raw ermine
#

toronto florida philly

plush grail
#

SHREDLOCK > RASCAL

inland flare
#

Fun fact: shredlock doesn't join team chat

worn falcon
inland flare
#

Shanghai Dragons > Guangzhou Charge > Hangzhou Spark > Chengdu Hunters. Anyone agree with this?

worn falcon
#

no

#

Chengdu > All

raw ermine
#

hzs did better in the tournament

inland flare
#

Charge is pretty good though

worn falcon
#

Spark

#

Spark got some interesting moves

plush grail
#

lol how is charge good if spark did better

inland flare
#

Almost kick shanghai ass

noble nexus
#

cr0ng fanboy

#

idk I think it's pretty obvious that hzs are gonna be better

#

unless charge make some more good moves

#

and they're almost out of free roster spots

tawdry hamlet
#

what it was spark vs chengdu and charge vs shanghai and charge took it to map 5 and signed a t2 hitscan that could match diem while spark got swept right?

#

swept by shanghai that is

#

since charge would have beat chengdu too

#

most likely

#

if the charge had a better tankline they could be top tier

inland flare
#

And spark, they didn't look that good on Shanghai

noble nexus
#

they're just signed an entire like 6 new players from chinese contendies right?

#

give them all time to mesh together

tawdry hamlet
#

Eileen Kayleee dps line gonna be scary in the future

noble nexus
#

although MyKayleee did swag out if I remember

silk frost
#

Tbh Guangzhou could be the worst of the 4 thid year

#

Shanghai > hangzhou > Chengdu > Guangzhou

tawdry hamlet
#

idk Chengdu didn't look particularly good

noble nexus
#

nah I think Chengdu might still be the worst

silk frost
#

I think they'll improve, Gaga/1987 are insane

noble nexus
#

not sure how much they lift the team up tho

#

whereas hangzhou have an entire new starting 6 basically

tawdry hamlet
#

Chengdu probably has the better tank support line but dps wise charge looks a lot better imo

inland flare
#

I still feel like charge going to be the second best team in APAC, I just hope they'll get another tank player and another support

tawdry hamlet
#

idk if Seoul get their shit together it will probably be them

#

since dps line didn't change

#

and they kept gesture

#

but I imagine instead they will just do average and come out in playoffs

inland flare
#

Did seoul change their coaches

noble nexus
#

let go of wizardhyeong and got someone else I think

#

but yeah I think unless they get an actual OT seoul will be average/upset potential for teams that are performing better statistically then clap cheeks in playoffs

inland flare
#

That's might going to be good sign, their coaching making their team look pretty bad this season

#

K I'm gonna see the guanlet

tawdry hamlet
#

oh sick ksaa is playing

#

or at least is on the team

#

@plush grail something something benbest

tawdry hamlet
#

I mean as far as pharah one tricks go, he is really good especially since I believe he is the guy that plays na 200 ping right?

plush grail
#

no benbest probably didn't want a lower pay

#

so away he goes

tawdry hamlet
#

idk any other main tanks that would have fit in paris anyway tbh

#

other than a different contenders one I guess

but tbh daan > miro

worn falcon
#

Apparently Soon was willing to accept a 50k contract

#

but no offers

tawdry hamlet
#

I think it is mostly benbest they were upset about I guess

#

I hope london picks up someone like soon

#

they really need someone besides just the hurricane

plush grail
#

what are the chances of snillo returning to humanity in 2021

worn falcon
#

rip the frenchies

plush grail
#

either their english sucks, which is common with french people

#

or they werent willing to play with new contenders rookies

#

or they asked for too high pay

worn falcon
#

i feel is the third and paris doesnt have the monies

plush grail
#

asking for high pay is a really big issue

#

players like meko and jjanu probably expect a high pay like they got before

#

but they're just not worth it anymore

#

who would have thought a bunch of mid tier owl players could be successful in contenders bro

#

ok this is actually kind of disgusting lmao

#

revival is so much better

balmy wolf
#

That’s the worst of the OWL team

#

Excluding McGravy

tawdry hamlet
#

I mean Paintbrush has been grinding hard af tbh, and Muma isn't that bad

next mesa
#

Muma is dogshit paintbrush is like

#

Okay

#

Muma might be better now doe

tawdry hamlet
#

Apply was always second to the other dps on valiant so I don't really know how he is

balmy wolf
#

dont underestimate t2 players

#

their just t1 players not picked up

tawdry hamlet
#

I mean it depends tbh, if you told me that a team getting dogged on by mcgravy muma and paintbrush was owl worthy I would probably say nah

raw ermine
#

apply was always 4th dps

#

muma has been grinding, but idk if gig is worse

balmy wolf
#

theres also the facts that better teams in t2 also have synergy, doesnt matter if u were in the owl before

That would actually fucking suck if all owl teams went to korea for 2021

raw ermine
#

would it really really tho? tons of fans come from china and sk, and while it would suck for us timezone wise, but I wouldn't be that pissed since, yknow, all those fans over there, it just makes sense for them. Plus, we get to have all teams together again

wanton birch
#

Now that’s an award tlou 2 deserve

earnest leaf
#

It would suck for me and most NA viewers in terms of watching

#

Since I would have to watch vods only

#

OWL would do fine

#

But it would suck for NA viewers

worn falcon
#

I mean, already sucks for EU/Apac viewers

#

I feel their most loyal playerbase cames from Asia

tawdry hamlet
#

I don't think the western players are looking to leave their country for an extended period of time, I know philly is a full korean roster right?

earnest leaf
#

full korean and funnyastro

tawdry hamlet
#

And shockwave

#

Forgot him

earnest leaf
#

ah yea him too

tawdry hamlet
#

And I guess eqo too

#

He israeli

#

Hmm nvm then

#

I mean philly are europeans and koreans so I guess it's not huge for them

#

Oh shit and poko too damn I forgot how many non koreans were on fusion

silk frost
#

eqo

#

poko

tawdry hamlet
#

I think I got confused in my head because they dropped 4 koreans this off season so I was used to a Korean majority or something idk

worn falcon
#

Yeah, philly is mixed

#

Poko, eqo,fa, shockwave

GZG 3-0 RA

Otherwise they're goint to ensure the schedule has more breaks

tidal ridge
#

western players in korea?

#

guangzhou 2

sullen berry
#

Probably will allow time for teams to have a window to renew visas without disrupting core roster playtime

#

I would even give fusion much of an excuse if Nero and Neptuno managed to return to be on the benches for the latter half of the season

earnest leaf
#

Well astro is from the uk

#

Wonder if that will make it easier

karmic grotto
#

Fusion in apac

#

Oh lord

#

They should go to Korea

#

And play LAN

#

Imagine we have LAN back again

noble nexus

#

if like 2 more teams join apac

#

both regions will have a decent amount of teams

karmic grotto

Yeah, I'm fine with that

Feels wrong having a city-based franchise competition having teams choose to house themselves out of other areas :/

karmic grotto

@upper niche I hope in the future that teams will stay in their respective cities

fierce ferry
#

guys can you get the contenders skins from watching the gauntlet?

karmic grotto
#

I can understand they were in California for season 1 and 2

fierce ferry
#

bc i can't find it on the site

karmic grotto
#

But season 3 was more city based, a bit since some teams where in South Korea and China, but they should go and live in their cities

#

@fierce ferry yes

fierce ferry
#

where on the site can i find it?

#

it's possible that i'm just stupid :p

but i really can't find it

feral inlet
#

I'm so confused I thought I could start watching the today contenders and still get 20 hours for the skins but it ended really early I'm scared I might not get enough hours

#

By December 20th

tawdry hamlet
#

You should be fine, I watched one stream yesterday and got 7 hours so day 2 of na gauntlet should give you enough

feral inlet
#

You means asia

#

Cause today was 3 hours when I thought it was supposed to be 6

tawdry hamlet
#

I watched the na europe gauntlet day one yesterday all day and got junkrat skin PogChimp

feral inlet
#

I did the math and hypothetically when you look at all the rest of the hours of games for December there are 32 left but that's if they stay exactly on time which they won't like they showed today I need 17 hours

#

If you take the ratio of time they said it would last to actually it was half so half of 32 is 16 which is one hour short so If they stick to how they did this match I won't get to 20 hours by the end of december

#

Am I overthinking this probably am I still shook yes

tawdry hamlet
#

Lmao

feral inlet
#

Still I might have screwed myself over by not watching the Europe games

#

I just need to watch every single game on time and hope theh stick to their schedule

#

Cause I really want sym and mercy skin

#

Also zen

#

@tawdry hamlet i dont know if i got my sources from the right thing do you know how many conteders matches there are till December is over and when they start and end

#

Please

tawdry hamlet
#

Gauntlet should give plenty of hours there's like 10 more streams if I read the schedule right

feral inlet
#

Wait my schedule didn’t say anything about there being two more matches today

tawdry hamlet
#

The r/competitiveoverwatch discord has roles that ping everyone when the streams are about to go live

feral inlet
#

It legit said there are like 4 streams left im completely fine

tawdry hamlet
#

Yee you good bro

#

I get it though im totally ocd about skins lmao I used to hyper obsess with getting the league tokens lmao

#

I farmed like 500 of them last season lmao

feral inlet
#

Wait does conteders give you tokens

tawdry hamlet
#

Nah

feral inlet
#

Oh

#

Its fine i have my 3 favorite mercy league skins

#

Oh i can just look on youtube it tells me when the next match is then i could just switch to the website

#

I have spark charge and dynasty i like them purely over color scheme

tawdry hamlet
#

fair enough, Spark colors are pogchamp

#

I usually buy mine if a player on a team pops off on a hero, I bought the Justice Road Hog after the finals because they did so well on him lol

feral inlet
#

Wanna know what a real mind break the canadian team Vancouver titans have the same color scheme as the seatle sea hawks that are a foot ball Washington state team which also is home to Vancouver Washington so was I wrong to think before I started watching the league that it was the Washington state team

if they don't give out the skins for free all the skin whores on twitter will blow their shit up until they retroactively do something lmaoo

it always happens with the league tokens

for weeks after a stream there are the "where are my tokens" comments

gonna be "where are my skins"

If they can get OGE playing to his potential, that's a stacked roster

Who's checkmate

tawdry hamlet

that reveal was letdown imo

next mesa

yeah

like

it's a good roster

just very underwhelming

Checkmate is Korean flex dps. Very similar to Yaki though

slime is the only one I am excited for

#

the rest is like oh well

worn falcon

how dare you to oh well OGE

#

:(

cedar oasis
#

Oge is kinda average

next mesa
#

I guess they dont need much else

#

just the get gud

#

nah OGE is good

cedar oasis
#

Oge is like meh

next mesa
#

right now def better than the new main tanks like mag and muze according to dpei

cedar oasis
#

This season he was average

tawdry hamlet
#

oh he is the gladiators guy now I remember lmao

#

idk he is alright I guess

next mesa
#

:Bruh:

tawdry hamlet
#

wonder how slime will perform after bench year

weak bolt
#

OGE has potential, he's just always seemed to get mentally boomed in some way

tawdry hamlet
#

when they said they won the off season I was expecting a massive pickup sadgery2

#

but this at least narrows rascal options down

#

now we can speculate more!

weak bolt
#

It's a good roster, imo it's up there with Justice/Toronto and maybe even Fuel

tawdry hamlet
#

idk about up there with fuel maybe more toronto

cedar oasis

Where is libero gonna go

I just feel like if they weren't going to change much they could have at least got some better pickups

trail perch
#

Umm fla is a little underwelming

#

especially with OG

#

and the fact that there where other options on the market that could have worked together bc they dont have anyone besides slime to be a real igl

tawdry hamlet
#

most of them look like down or sidegrades to me

trail perch
#

yeah

#

especially fate to OGE

#

They didnt win the off season

#

Not by a longshot

tawdry hamlet

longshit lmao

whoops

tawdry hamlet

time will tell

trail perch

Maybe if they grabbed some x-shock assistant coaches and fissure smth would be different

tawdry hamlet

hasn't fissure not played since titans fucked up

and lost their whole roster

trail perch

I would love to see crusty work with fissure

tawdry hamlet

or was that someone else

rotund sail

MAYHEM ROSTER IS POG

Not really

OGE is probably way better than fissure now

Fissure would have been a stupid move with no backup MT

its kinda worse than last year

Slime is a huge upgrade to Kris

Yeah

#

Slime was a beast in s2

trail perch

but OGE is a pretty big downgrade

hot heart

??

trail perch

from fate

rotund sail
#

OGE is a huge upgrade to Karayan and is on the same Caliber as Fate

hot heart
#

Yeah

trail perch
#

Not really

hot heart
#

I'd say

tawdry hamlet
#

idk about same caliber but he isn't blatantly worse either

trail perch
#

Fate was a top MT last year, while OGE was pretty unimpressive

hot heart
#

Wdym top MT?

tawdry hamlet
#

tbf lag as a whole was pretty unimpressive

rotund sail
#

OGE was on a pretty unimpressive team also

next mesa

fate was not a top mt last year lmao

top 5 or 6

above average

Fate was good

?????

Idc what you think

Fate is a nutty MT, and so is OGE when he has the right team

But he isnt that good

#

Not in s2

#

*S3

solar bison
#

Mayhem interesting

trail perch
#

Fearless, smurf, sado,

tawdry hamlet
#

idk if oge is better than fate but I don't think it is a massive downgrade, just more of like a side grade

S4 he could be top tier

#

who else is the top tier of MT

tawdry hamlet

also as the only main tank last season was orisa sad

Winston...

Super can only play Rein at a top level

tawdry hamlet

uhh you forgot muma in the s tier smh

Winston Orisa were the true main tanks this year

Muma #1 player in OWL

And his orisa was solid

tawdry hamlet

So I wouldnt count him as the top

hot heart

His winston was great in s2

#

He has the definitive best rein in OWL

#

How do you not consider that a top MT

tawdry hamlet

speaking of that they are using rein in contenders on old patch rn

is it a hot take that id rather SGN than Slime?

He genuinely is a really good player

solar bison
#

No

#

SGN has potential

shell onyx
#

i think slime will do good with this roster

hot heart
#

And you're out here saying crimzo is a great FS calling me a super stan

trail perch
#

Super is genuinly a top rein, and even if he is the best, its not that big of a gap

#

his winston is average

shell onyx
#

crimzo is probably best western fs

#

imo

hot heart
#

Yeah

trail perch
#

he def is

tawdry hamlet
#

I mean is top rein really a highly skilled position in the first place, I am sure there are tons of "top reins" that perform very similarly

im assuming most of Runaway, WGS and O2 have teams if ppl are getting players from like OZ etc

Ok discuss, was agilities an upgrade or downgrade from ksf?

#

I personally am unsure

earnest leaf
#

No clue

next mesa
#

no clue

#

both bad

Agilities carried defiant on genji

#

And that's about it

tawdry hamlet
#

I have only seen agilities pop on genji and ksf just looked mid af

#

so I have no idea lmao

hot heart
#

I think agilities is the more talented player

cedar oasis
#

Agilities trash on anything except genji

tawdry hamlet
#

agilities might be more talented but far far less flexible

hot heart
#

But you'll only see him at his best on specific heroes like the genji and fhe pharah

#

Yeah

#

Less flexible than ksf

tawdry hamlet
#

but he was playing echo on stream and hanzo and didn't look awful

#

just nothing great

hot heart
#

But tbh last year shax played alot so wont be surprised if the same thing happens in 2021

tawdry hamlet
#

I imagine so since shax is way way better

#

well isn't shax a hitscan?

basically, in double sniper or double hitscan valiant look really good lmao

projectile looks kind of Pepega

they are one trick pony

tawdry hamlet

tbh valiant look like one trick the team lmao

#

we shall see if adam is better than gravy

but gravy was really a low mid hyped up by personality

so he probably is

earnest leaf
#

Agilities is the silly hero specialist

cedar oasis

Gravy was good on his first game

tawdry hamlet
#

I assume Atlanta aren't changing anything but that tank line looks really Pepega

I mean gator is ok I guess for rein but hawk is ew

dps looks ok and masaa lris isn't terrible

but tank line looks dated

Tank line were just way overhyped last year.

the only way gator looks good is rein meta

gator rein is pog

missing babybay crine

kinda hard to overhype second place gauntlet finish though

tawdry hamlet

surprised they let go of erster, him being their only real star power

but anything better than saucy dogman lineup so I will take it

#

should have kept pokpo Sadge

#

he didn't play enough

earnest leaf
#

Also this is oge's first full korean roster

tawdry hamlet

hype

#

but according to liquidpedia he speaks flawless english

so idk if that matters

Oge is bad

if Kuki/Swingchip/Yehh can keep OGE focused and avoid him having a meltdown, he'll do good
