Exact dude

cobalt spoke
#

How are you going to play behind literally the best overall main tank in the league?

cedar oasis
#

Nah

#

Can smurf ball

cobalt spoke
#

Yes

#

Smurf is a very good ball

#

The only hero that he actuallybisnt that good on is rein

gilded dagger
cobalt spoke
#

Becuase super plays rein

#

The only other real candidate for best main tank is fearless

#

And he's not as good of a ball or orisa as smurf

#

And there pretty much on par with winston gameplay

sullen berry
#

Oh my god, they're going to announce one player on Christmas day

#

Flora was announced 24 hours before the official post iirc

cedar oasis
#

Mano and sado are comparable to smurf

cobalt spoke
#

No they arent

cedar oasis
#

Mano is

cobalt spoke
#

They are inferior winstons and orisa players

cedar oasis
#

Rien and ball

cobalt spoke
#

Smurf is a better ball player than sado atleast

#

Mano was the second best ball player

next mesa
#

Smurf ball is why he's better than fearless

#

Fearless rein better smurf orisa better

#

But fearless ball is like hmmm

cobalt spoke
#

Kindof ugly

cedar oasis
#

Mano one of the best mt when he has a b tier support line

#

All the others have great ones

next mesa
#

Actually lowkey they should've played fearless

#

Arghi

cobalt spoke
#

Mano has gotten to play all 4 main tanks this season and we know what he is capable of

#

And its not smurf

cedar oasis
#

Cant wait for mano to tear with one of the best support lines

next mesa
#

Facts

cobalt spoke
#

Into shock?

cedar oasis
#

Shock is cock

#

Nothing will stop mano

#

Except the philly curse

vagrant jacinth
#

Mano is gonna be stomping

next mesa
#

Lowkey i still think fusion is top 5

#

But

#

We'll see

cedar oasis
#

The only problem I could see is poko

vagrant jacinth
#

Yeah, they'll be in my top 5

cobalt spoke
next mesa
#

yes

#

a close second

#

to sbb

vagrant jacinth
#

Merry Christmas benbest you chad

cedar oasis
#

Now hold up

#

What about poko

next mesa
#

third place

cedar oasis
#

If there was no covid there might have been more teams joining owl

#

And all the old players could still play

next mesa
#

fuck covid

cedar oasis
#

Nyxl looking like a high mid tier team

sullen berry
#

mid is where some put spitfire last year because of JMac and Glister

#

I don't see the potential, because I don't know how strong Flora Friday or Gwangboong are

cedar oasis
#

Thier dps could be very good

tropic herald
#

Flora is kinda meh imo

cedar oasis
#

Or they could be complete trash

tropic herald
#

Gwangboong is cracked out just not consistent

sullen berry
#

Feath5r and Ivy I have no doubts he will make or break the team's dps synergy

cedar oasis
#

Friday is the real problem I could see

next mesa
#

I feel like Ivy Gwangboong is gonna be the standard

sullen berry
#

But I guess it's main support

#

NYXL has only had good experiences with Anamo

#

But not when IMT signed Mandu

cedar oasis
#

Mandu is good

#

Friday looks kinda trash

next mesa
#

better hope he can recreate the scrim results

sullen berry
#

What I mean is mandu did not look confident on NYXL, he was benched most of the year

cedar oasis
#

That's nyxl coaching for you

sullen berry
#

I find scrims far more valuable now after folks suddenly decided to leak that Valiant were doing really well and surprised most with their debut

#

Their weight is still pretty low

#

But we have zero information on the sum of these teams this year

#

Barring the shanghai masters teams, ofc

balmy wolf
#

Which team has the best twitter manager and/or discord community?

sullen berry
#

Mine

balmy wolf
#

YES

cedar oasis
#

I'm going of their results on the teams they were on

#

Like fridays team didnt really win anything

next mesa
#

3 of their players

cedar oasis
#

But then again you could be good in contenders and flop in owl

next mesa
#

got signed though

#

its actually fucking insane

cedar oasis
#

Cries in nene

next mesa
#

nenne washed

sullen berry
#

I'd have to put a lot of consideration for their poor performance to the fact they lost Fr3e due to sexual harassment of a minor

cloud latch
#

I wonder why 3 players from that team got signed

sullen berry
#

Even before that they were bad

#

But if you're improving, you don't let go of your undead unless it's a really bad set of circumstances and PR around you

cedar oasis
#

Nene is

#

Not

#

Completely washed

#

Ok maybe

#

If your improving and your team still sucks

#

Cries in boston

#

And London

sullen berry
#

Houston

cedar oasis
#

And Atlanta

#

Actualy Atlanta where the most disappointing this season

#

People thought they could compete with the best teams

sullen berry
#

To be fair, on paper houston looks good until you compare it with Dallas at the next Texas rivalry

cedar oasis
#

Then the just flop

#

Houston tank line is good

sullen berry
#

Dps will be able to do work with enough synergy together

cedar oasis
#

Danteh hydration sounds good

sullen berry
#

And when it really matters Happy KSF are promising imo

#

Idk how much of his time in Asia is going to look like up against xzi

#

But I know if it was a happy vs decay or Linkzr, he might have a bit of trouble

cedar oasis
#

Happy would crush linkzr

#

Linkzr is 80 percent trash 20 percent good

#

Decay Is just built different

digital cloud
#

linkzr on a good day would contest happy pretty well

#

but we all know how often linkzr has a good day

silk frost
#

oh you mean that one time in 2017

cedar oasis
#

In a game that didnt matter

next mesa
#

everyone has agood game

#

what matters is having every game be a good game

vagrant jacinth
#

I think xl will end up somewhere in the lower third

#

I just rate their chances that high

silk frost
#

significantly yeah

#

I think with how much firepower has been brought into the league they're only above Vancouver, Paris, Houston, Florida, London, and Valiant

#

and the top 4 of those are losable

#

Karra retired btw

#

sadge

vagrant jacinth
#

Agreed

sullen berry
#

Karra?

silk frost
#

Ex o

vagrant jacinth
#

There's just too much great talent being brought in by other teams, I don't think they can break through into mid table

silk frost
#

especially when looking at how good Chengdu's acquisitions are

sullen berry
#

Exclusively chengdu looking good

#

But in practice?

vagrant jacinth
#

Still can't believe they got an 11 man roster lmao

sullen berry
#

I'm still on the fence of how much they will improve overall

#

Spark is a full roster

#

Hope architect and seominsoo has their best years on Spark

silk frost
#

I hope so

#

but I have my doubts

sullen berry
#

Well if you're against a beefed up Seoul Dynasty and the biggest pimp hand team in Shanghai Dragons next year

next mesa
#

yall underrating chengdu and overrating spark imo

#

based on shanghai masters

sullen berry
#

I'm on the over and under respectively

#

Spark needs that winning combo which they will find during the regular season

#

It will be a case of the s1 spitfire where they just lock it in or s2 shock where the losses are minimal if they go fluid roster

next mesa
#

they need to play coldest or mcd

#

stick with one

#

wait

#

how many fs do they have

#

just 2

sullen berry
#

Yeah

#

And two main tanks

#

Giving Guxue some competition for the lead role

next mesa
#

I swear wasn't coldest the best fs in contenders

#

2018

#

might be trippin doe

sullen berry
#

Well best in CN didn't hold much value back in 2018

#

This is 2020 though, and we live in that timeline where diya is playing for the best contenders team in the world

#

Also American Tornado exists

next mesa
#

they are gonna get shit on by team cc

sullen berry
#

Hurricane's success being their downfall seems to line up in time with Spitfire's big announcement in 8 days

next mesa
#

imagine not picking up innovation, diya, and superich

#

what a buncha fuckin clowns

#

I bet like

#

if you pull a runaway

#

and some team signs the whole team cc roster

sullen berry
#

Innovation still in contenders is agony

next mesa
#

they could be top tier

#

but nooooooo

#

franchised league

#

fuck you blizzard

sullen berry
#

To be fair, MyKaylee has been a solid pickup bruh

next mesa
#

argh

sullen berry
#

If you want to go for untapped talent, never saw it in Bilibili until very late this year

#

Ultra Prime please don't go back to ultra succ

#

They need to flip their roster and figure out what to do after Jimmy was picked up

cedar oasis
#

Owl needs good coaches

next mesa
#

its okay

#

crusty will duplicate

#

make mini crusty clones

karmic grotto
#

xD

#

owl season 4 will be better since those assistent coaches under crusty are trained

#

we gonna see high level ow

#

And some ex-Shock coaches may even win against Shock

#

imagine

#

the students become the masters

earnest leaf
#

Ninek did it already

#

But for one match

vagrant jacinth
#

Speaking of spark, I really like their roster. If they click, they'll probs be hard to beat

cedar oasis
#

They could have too many players

vagrant jacinth
#

Yeah that's the thing

#

If they find out how to balance it and which players to play when, they'll do good

#

But it'll be tricky

#

Guxue bernar tankline sounds so pog

next mesa
#

no

#

Lige is too pog to be benched

#

get the fuck out bernar

vagrant jacinth
#

Damn bro, dissing my boy

vagrant jacinth
#

pain.

digital cloud
#

well, no big loss

cedar oasis
#

Who?

sullen berry
#

He was another Finnish gift to esports

#

To become a retired main support is very sad time for EU

cedar oasis
#

Did he play for any owl teams

karmic grotto
#

no, he played ur mama

slow kraken
#

Ripa to the spitfire?

plush light
#

Who did jofi play for?

vagrant jacinth
#

Hurricane

tropic herald
#

He played for New Kings

#

Was the main support

raw ermine
#

he was the first MS for BH when they went on there undefeated streak

#

before kellex took over

#

was there for like 2 years

sullen berry
#

Can't hate on the OG

silk frost
#

JOFI NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

sullen berry
#

Kellex comeback in OWL at the cost Jofi retiring

feral zodiac
#

EU overwatch lmao

sullen berry
#

Yveltal 🥺

vagrant jacinth
#

Superstar

raw ermine
#

thats yveltal?

#

ready for the holidays

#

Season one MVP running, 2018, colourized

solar bison
#

Pretty much

tawdry hamlet
#

I have high hopes for gaga

#

He is like better ameng

#

Well a more well rounded ameng I mean

hot heart
#

His ball is comparable to amengs

#

And his hero pool is actually wide unlike his counterpart

#

I expect Chengdu to honestly be a much much better team than last year

#

Also they're all Chinese players so them and HZ basically represent Contenders China

#

Im most excited for their dps rotation and support line

#

I mean

#

1987 and nisha

#

Very promising duo

#

And yveltal to back them up

tawdry hamlet
#

I hope leave gets it together now that he has talent around him catpog

hot heart
#

The OT players tho

#

Kinda disappointing

hot heart
#

Kinda surprised me honestly

#

Also kaneki

#

Dude could be a beast

tawdry hamlet
#

Kaneki was somewhat matching architect so I see promise there and leave looked far better than baconjack on his own so I have high hopes

#

Although upsetting they dropped molly

hot heart
#

Yeah

#

1987 is good but isnt as good as molly

#

Well

#

In terms of their ceiling i mean

#

Also

feral zodiac
#

I'm honestly very surprised at the lack of chinese players outside of Chengdu considering how big overwatch is in china

#

There's eileen and that's all I can think of

hot heart
#

In your opinion whose dps line is better: NYXL, Chengdu or Toronto?

#

@tawdry hamlet

hot heart
#

Even more maybe

solar bison
#

Diya

#

Get him a team

#

Where he can get playtime

next mesa
#

Imagine getting Nisha not superich

#

Weirdchamp

tawdry hamlet
#

Hmm, Heesu Logix and naist vs Kaneki Leave jimmy and Jinmu vs feather ivy gwangboong flora
I think tbh, nyxl wins in terms of talent but toronto in experience and Chengdu in potential

#

Man if they just dropped logix toronto could literally be a top 5 team lmaoo

#

Like imagine they picked up ivy instead of resigning logix

#

Boom ez top team

hot heart
#

I mean

#

Na1st is fucking cracked out

#

So idk

vagrant jacinth
#

Yeah, I like logix but he might hold them back a bit

silk frost
#

dude if Lige got onto Chengdu with his teammates

#

that team would be nastY

tawdry hamlet
#

I haven't seen much about naist but if he's like cracked I have hopes but isn't he projectile I assume?

#

Wish innovation was picked up sadthonk

next mesa
#

if only the whole team cc was signed

cobalt spoke
#

If only shock disbanded, then the other teams might win

raw ermine
#

I never thought Na1st was flex dps

silk frost
#

Na1st replaced Whoru

tawdry hamlet
#

well I assumed he had to be something since Logix and Heesu are hitscan

#

wishing logix had a wider pool than ashe Sadge

#

but with the way s3 went who knows maybe ashe will be meta for another 2 years

#

omegalul

#

I know logix plays cree and widow alright but I think his star character is ashe

#

he actually looked decent on her in summer showdown

#

tbh summer showdown even without agilities carry toronto actually looked good lmao

#

it was one comp they could genuinely execute and I think mechanical skill diff is the only reason they lost more so than execution

#

oh Naist was on the og fusion university team?

#

I have high hopes for him then that teams slapped

raw ermine
#

not really OG

tawdry hamlet
#

yeah he joined late but the team still won shit at that point iirc

#

I just know the whoru alarm days of that team slapped some ass

#

bostons nobody ex main support is on a university team now

#

that is poggers

#

Boston must have been mad desperate

#

like how you going to sign a beast talent like myunbong and then put him with this dude

hot heart
#

Fr

tawdry hamlet
#

Really hope Lori cleans up the dogshit the old staff left behind

#

literally all the old staff have to show for s3 is bracket busting by beating an unprepared houston

#

and a sexual misconduct allegation lmao

#

good staff

hot heart
#

All of boston was a mess

#

Very likely still could be

#

But

#

Their chances at a redemption is better than ever

tawdry hamlet
#

I hope the new additions make them look less like a contenders team

#

since at many points last season even titans looked better

#

I mean Titans got it together and beat atlanta at one point lmao

#

albeit during a sombra meta but stilll

feral zodiac
#

Contenders looked way better than boston

tawdry hamlet
#

yeah true, well apac contenders, I would to think in NA contenders they could at least beat like one team in the top 3 lmaoo

#

but they looked so damn bad

#

they made some decent upgrades though

feral zodiac
#

Im37 and myungbong are the hard carries

#

Stand1 is much better than fusions

tawdry hamlet
#

Stand1 and So0n are pretty big upgrades over Jerry and Fusions

#

yeah

#

So0n has a solid tracer and can hold his own on ashe widow at the mid tier pretty well

feral zodiac
#

Nico might end up joining as well

tawdry hamlet
#

he is all around a nice presence even if he isn't super insane

feral zodiac
#

Which would be huge

#

Nico is far better than chex

tawdry hamlet
#

Chex is good with good coaching and a nice team around him but they forced him on mei most season, like watching him play ladder against a lot of other pros in ladder on stream and dude is pretty cracked

#

but that is ladder so doesn't really say much

feral zodiac
#

Fucking muma does well in ladder

tawdry hamlet
#

I think if they let chex hitscan and had a better flex in place of jerry they could have done a lot better

feral zodiac
#

Jerry had some flashes of potential

tawdry hamlet
#

since hitscan is definitely the strong suit of chex imo

#

Punk isn't actually that bad with a good team either so I hope the upgrades are helpful

#

idk how good stand1 actually is since I didn't even know he existed until the finals when they randomly played him over fearless because of meta but if he was on shanghai he has to be kind of good

#

finals annoys me in general because philly and shanghai had to play lineups totally different from what they dominated with all season 😦

feral zodiac
#

Eh

tawdry hamlet
#

which I understand being well rounded is part of the game and shock obviously deserved the win being able to adapt to any comp

feral zodiac
#

Players did well

tawdry hamlet
#

but depressing we didn't get to see the big matchups we wanted

feral zodiac
#

Well

#

Fusion did ass

#

Shanghai did well

#

Seoul got carried by the meta

tawdry hamlet
#

yeah that meta was not it philly lmao

#

and philly got carried by the non main tank meta

#

since they literally didn't have one

#

I meant seoul

#

my bad

feral zodiac
#

Any other meta I guarantee spark or nyxl would've been there

tawdry hamlet
#

I mean profit did play insane tbf, his pharah ult he got in like 20 seconds on oasis was pog af

#

and his genji was NUT

feral zodiac
#

Profit is always nut in playoffs

tawdry hamlet
#

Gesture hog was nuts too

#

One can only think how well they could have done if they played a real main tank like sado

feral zodiac
#

Fits seriously showed up for playoffs

tawdry hamlet
#

That too

feral zodiac
#

He contested ans and striker

#

consistently

tawdry hamlet
#

I barely remember fits all season then he contested ans and diem like they were nothing lmao

feral zodiac
#

Ye

cobalt spoke
#

ANS was rhe most consistent widow player by far

#

He literally didnt have low points

#

Fits is just built fairly well

#

While ans is simply built different

feral zodiac
#

but he lost the 1vs1 against diem lol

true hound
#

💯

#

man if ksp had a better team

#

hed be even more op

tawdry hamlet
#

tbf the apac widow 1v1 was just standing behind a pole for 5 minutes back and forth waiting for one to peek the other

#

the NA widow 1v1 I felt was far more accurate but the brackets left something to be desired

#

also not having xzi in apac widow was sadge

#

and putting carpe in a bracket against diem first round was kind of sad too because it totally obliterated carpes chances unless he played out of his mind

#

but 1v1 really only gauges jumpshot consistency and shit since Linkzr and So0n are clearly not a better widow than ksp

#

but they still were the final

#

So0n played insane in the widow 1v1s to be fair

true hound
#

ye cause like

#

widow 1v1s arent really a proof of aiming skill

#

just a lot of small movements

tawdry hamlet
#

more just reaction and positioning more than anything

true hound
#

ye

tawdry hamlet
#

like it is about guessing where they are from not flicking to hit the shot on them because they are usually standing still

#

more just like the reaction of hitting them first

#

regardless though So0n really surprised me

hot heart
#

SoOns widow and ashe have always been pretty good

#

His tracer is still solid

true hound
#

wtf benbest twitter

#

actual chad

#

btw if you guys havent seen this

#

@next mesa

next mesa
#

scaring me like that bro

silk frost
#

I'm upset with how little Tobi was involved with that

cobalt spoke
#

Diem literally didnt play for most of the season

#

ANS played almost every map of every game and was the best over all of them

#

He also plays much better with his team than diem does

feral zodiac
#

Did you miss the line through the middle of the message

true hound
#

🤣

hot heart
#

Lmao

next mesa
#

fits always contested well

#

diem happy glister lip

#

he was the most consistent player in seoul

#

throughout the season

#

except like maybe marve1

earnest leaf
#

During grand finals ans usually was matched or outmatched the enemy sniper, when he was getting outmatched his whole team already was

silk frost
#

Yeah pretty much

earnest leaf
#

Fits and diem are still nasty

true hound
#

if Fits plays to that level the whole season hes def up there

#

but seoul was just inconsistent in general

karmic grotto

the duality of man

Merry Christmas

raw ermine
#

All I want for christmas is t2 support

plush grail
#

all i want for christmas is for that 140 EU player ping thing to be proven false

#

please tell me paris and london will either go to na or play on decent ping

raw ermine
#

they'll be fckd if they have to

vagrant jacinth
#

All I want for Christmas is London signings smh

plush grail
vagrant jacinth
#

London will probs stay in apac

plush grail
#

tbh I hope they do some more cross regional tournaments

#

we only got to see na vs apac for a little bit on a VERY scuffed patch

vagrant jacinth
raw ermine
vagrant jacinth
#

100%, more tourneys between regions would be sick

plush grail
#

with corona getting a vaccine and stuff

#

we see more cross region stuff

slow kraken
#

Hey I already leaked ripa

vagrant jacinth
#

God I hope so

#

I crave it

plush grail
#

imo if they don't do cross region NA is gonna get boring really quick

#

they had like 3 good teams in paris, shock and fusion before

#

fusion left and paris went budget

#

only shock is gonna be good

#

and maybe glads

#

apac is gonna be amazing tho

#

the new nyxl, the new spark, seoul who's becoming good again and the fusion

tidal ridge
#

shock glads washington

#

mayhem maybe

plush grail
#

im really expecting a major upset in NA

#

im legit expecting titans to beat shock at some point

tidal ridge
#

im expecting boston to win against shock at the beginning then go 1-30 or something

slow kraken
#

NA region won’t get boring

earnest leaf
#

London would get tossed around in apac

silk frost
#

Halo is getting brownie points for these or somethin

vagrant jacinth
#

I don't have faith in the titans roster..

earnest leaf
#

Titans snagging a win from shock would pretty much require shock hard trolling

vagrant jacinth
#

It really would

cobalt spoke
#

You had the idea

#

But you dont actually expect that

next mesa
#

bruh

#

okay look

#

if crusty was like

#

hey lets give food poisoning to the whole team

#

there's like a 5% chance that titans upset shock

#

otherwise

#

NO LMAO

worn falcon
next mesa
#

they would still win

#

did you forget super's cracked zen?

#

second only to viol2t

#

and viol2t is a god gamer

#

wait

#

outlaws prob above uprising

#

anyway

#

clown take roast me boys

balmy wolf
#

atl too low honestly

cedar oasis
#

No

#

Seoul too high

next mesa
#

shut

cedar oasis
#

Washington too low

#

Seoul will suck for 80 percent of the season

#

Then be good at the end

next mesa
#

I think spark reaching their full potential will be better

cedar oasis
#

Toronto too low

next mesa
#

bro in any competitive game/sports only playoffs matter

cedar oasis
#

Dallas below philly

next mesa
#

ok maybe

cedar oasis
#

I can only see Dallas beating philly in genji meta

next mesa
#

idk arguably they have a better tankline

cedar oasis
#

Mano is better

#

But hanbin is better

next mesa
#

Mano is not better than fearless LOL

cedar oasis
#

Mano rien is

#

Mano ball is

next mesa
#

not rein

cedar oasis
#

Wow

next mesa
#

haven't seen fearless ball

cedar oasis
#

Have they played against eachover

next mesa
#

no

cedar oasis
#

Also mano always dominates

#

Mano orisa

next mesa
#

they did get sweep almost everytime

cedar oasis
#

Who

#

Nyxl

next mesa
#

yes

cedar oasis
#

But did mano ever get outplayed

#

No

next mesa
#

Their whole team got outplayed buddy

cedar oasis
#

Not mano

#

The rest definitely

next mesa
#

mano is part of the team

#

ie he got outplayed

cedar oasis
#

No

#

You could be better then the other mt but you whole team just sucks

next mesa
#

its just true

cedar oasis
#

And flops

next mesa
#

no one in their right mind would say mano was better than fearless last season

#

ok like even with orisa

#

fearless orisa is still solid

cedar oasis
#

The problem is nyxl sucked and dragons were good

#

Like if you put the best mt on Vancouver they wont win

next mesa
#

mano is good

#

just not better than fearless

#

since fearless is #2 arguably #1

cedar oasis
#

I dont think fearless rien is better then mano

#

Defo his Winston

next mesa
#

he just hasnt played it much this season

#

pfffffffffffft

cedar oasis
#

Didnt stand1 play rien

next mesa
#

no

cedar oasis
#

Did dragons just not play rien

next mesa
#

yes

cedar oasis
#

Ok

next mesa
#

when was there a rein meta

#

I know nyxl ran ball and got fucked by dragon's rush dive

cedar oasis
#

Beginning of the season

#

Was rien

#

Like if it's only mano vs fearless I would say mano is overall better

next mesa
#

nah

#

we'll see

cedar oasis
#

We shall see

#

I would also put paris above London

#

I would put Atlanta Lower

next mesa
#

im going based on the fact that bh is better than obey

#

I dont think adding onigod is gonna change

cedar oasis
#

London are rookies tho

#

They might get burnt out

next mesa
#

so is paris

#

onigod played like

#

half a season maybe

cedar oasis

They have some veterans for guidance

#

Onigod wasent bad also

#

It's just that he had to rapace decay

#

And decay is built different

Fearless has the better winston of the two

Mano arguably has the better rein/orisa

cedar oasis
#

EU contendies sucks tho

feral zodiac
#

I have no idea about ball for either of them

cedar oasis
#

Mano was the 2nd best ball last season

feral zodiac
#

How many people played ball

cedar oasis
#

Idk

next mesa
#

smurf stand1 mano ameng

feral zodiac
#

Oh so stand1 got played over fearless

next mesa

sparkle lived up to his hype not leave tho

balmy wolf

Oh wait LOL

Ignore me

I think gamsu got really unlucky with overwatch

Would've shined on a team that wasn't Dallas

I don't want to use the jjonak mouse because the oils from my skin will easily rub off the autograph

but I also don't want a mouse as a showpiece

I might just put tape over it or something idk yet

balmy wolf

you can get some grip tape online

solar bison
tawdry hamlet

Probably just going to get a piece of something to cover the signature

untold wraith

wait is it signed by jjonak

tawdry hamlet
#

Yee

#

It's like 150 from the owl site but I found one online for 55 or so hence why I even bothered with it

vagrant jacinth
#

@tawdry hamlet how much was the jersey?

tawdry hamlet
#

it was a 2019 jersey on fnatic so it was only like 13 or so I think

#

was great deal

#

considering the retail from owl of jerseys is like 100

#

might be a replica but I don't think it is

#

either way it is nice

vagrant jacinth
#

Yoo

#

International store?

tawdry hamlet
#

hmm it seems the christmas sale ended but some stuff is still kind of cheap

#

idk if it ships international

#

I believe it does

vagrant jacinth
#

Ty, gonna browse

vagrant jacinth
#

Ok, it does ship international. I think my total came to about £60. Good chunk was shipping

#

Might fuck around and order some stuff

plush grail

poggy legit giving fanatic tons of business lmao

feral zodiac

Blasé to spitfire huh

vagrant jacinth

Poggy is actually fanatics ceo

#

And blasé..

plush grail
#

yo almost every jersey is dirt cheap all of a sudden

#

they're old but still

vagrant jacinth
#

I preferred the old ones tbh

#

I'll probably pick up one of the new ones later on in the season

plush grail
#

oh but the shipping is like 30 euros for me again oof

#

imagine having to pay 30 euros in shipping for a paris shirt

#

while i live like 5 hours from paris

karmic grotto

#

just 3D print that shirt

plush grail

how the fuck do you 3d print a shirt

Blase is meh

plush grail
tidal ridge
#

he got 2nd in a tournament in 2017, seems qualified enough

plush grail
#

i once beat a diamond tank as a plat tank myself

#

am i qualified for owl

tidal ridge
#

no, rank's too low, owl only accepts silver

plush light
#

I'm bronze, should I talk to huk about getting signed to the uprising?

tidal ridge
#

in this universe huk actually manages san francisco shock sorry

plush light
plush grail
#

yeah tbh outlaws was shit because of the weird situation

#

the main tank just left, support line was meh

karmic grotto
#

xD

#

Now they have a real main tank line

tawdry hamlet
#

lmao I have actually caused like 3 different people to actually place orders at this rate fanatics should be paying me man

karmic grotto
#

And a better support line

tawdry hamlet
#

also blase is uh

#

kind of meh

plush grail
#

according to halo he had good trials

plush grail
#

owl should hire you

tawdry hamlet
#

yes, my debut is soon I promise

plush grail
#

poggy joins boston uprising

#

as a head of number

#

i saw that on the nyxl thing, what the fuck even is head of data

tawdry hamlet
#

I guess stats or something

#

maybe idek

plush grail
#

yeah but owl has a super detailed stats lab

#

does he just keep track of how many times players blink

tawdry hamlet
#

loll

karmic grotto
#

Blase to spitfire?

#

Interesting choice

tawdry hamlet
#

has to keep track of how many times people say a bad word so they can be fined for basically nothing angerybongo

#

Linkzr shelling out 2000 dollars to say fuck twice

plush grail
#

reminder: blase got picked up but meko is still in limbo

tawdry hamlet
#

blase is the doomfist one trick that is kind of like shit right?

plush grail
#

yeah i dont even know what he plays

tawdry hamlet
#

depressing

plush grail
#

projectile i think

tawdry hamlet
#

not really a big pickup at all considering all the talent still out there 😦

plush grail
tawdry hamlet
#

oof

#

I mean lowkey think paris will be better than london now

#

since bh got beat by obey and paris has members of obey plus some better players like onigod

#

and blase is shit

plush grail
#

who knows

#

maybe blase does a hydration

#

and switches to rein

tawdry hamlet
#

new heroes hopefully shake things up so teams like titans can still be fun to watch

plush grail
#

titans are gonna get stomped, BUT with cool new heroes

#

pog

tawdry hamlet
#

true

next mesa
#

Nah bh stomped obey in the gauntlet

#

They are still the stronger team

tawdry hamlet
#

yeah that is true, but naga onigod on the same team 👀

plush grail
#

that one naga clip on echo

#

that was fucking insane

tawdry hamlet
#

then again in gauntlet Danned matched naga really well

#

so I still am not sure

#

but naga has a great echo

plush grail
#

can't wait for paris to announce they signed rascal and libero

karmic grotto
#

xD

#

They don't have the budget

raw ermine
#

They needed a hitscan not a projectile. Why did they sign blase?we know what happens when he goes on dps

#

Hitscan dps*

karmic grotto
#

cheap owl player

vagrant jacinth

London throwing off my rankings smh. Might wait a bit see if they announce anything else

worn falcon
#

Blasé what in the fuck

karmic grotto
#

according to halo

#

he did very well in scrims

digital cloud
#

He had decent doom, genji, and hanzo from what I remember

#

They just had him on Cree for no reason

#

He was actually a pretty pog doom

worn falcon
#

He is good at doom

#

Genji eeeh

digital cloud
#

I mean, not gonna overhype his other stuff

#

But he was decent

worn falcon
#

And yeah, Cree jail was ???

digital cloud
#

Just why

#

I mean, linkzr isn’t a great Cree but

#

At least he was a damn hitscan

worn falcon
#

Wonder if he gonna improve with having a not feeding main tank

digital cloud
#

I genuinely think he might have good potential

#

It is mostly the Houston staff that is the problem I would say

#

Or the org maybe

#

And also Muma

#

He could prove to not be that great, but I think he was good enough when he was playing his real role

raw ermine
#

fuze blase

#

2 good

tawdry hamlet
#

Idk, houston was bad because of coaching but a lot of their players just were inconsistent or made dumb mistakes, like danteh blinking off the map, hydration killing himself on pharah, muma feeding constantly because he's just not that good

#

Coaching was really dog last year tho

#

I hope this year it's better

#

Houston had arguably one of the worst coaching staff aside from like boston

raw ermine
#

yeah they had dream

tawdry hamlet
#

Practicing only a hydration pharah comp going into playoffs lmao, still can't even with that

#

Absolutely mad

#

I almost feel like they threw just to break brackets for lols

vagrant jacinth
#

Idk, maybe with a decent tank/supp line he might be okay

#

I'm hesitant though

raw ermine
#

its sad to think half the people in the justice's final run in the playoff are retired/prolly gonna retire

tawdry hamlet
#

Sadge

#

Was aimgod ever any good or was he just like a filler player who was meh

raw ermine
#

He was always mechanically skilled

#

he did really well on ana and zen

plush light
plush light
raw ermine
#

they had hydration, danteh, linkzr, and blase

#

was hydration that bad at mei that they had to run danteh?

tropic herald
#

On the plus side

#

Junkbuck

plush light
#

Danteh is gm level at all heros.

#

He is at least ok at any hero in the game, even for owl standards.

lunar wind
#

How do I propose a tournament?

#

My friend and I want to host a tournament with a buy in and payouts

tropic herald
#

Well you’d have to DM ModMail if you want it advertised here and despite this being esports it’s not really for community stuff

plush grail
#

if there's a 1-3000 sr cap you could ask boston to participate

hot heart
#

Blase could turn out to be a b tier player

#

His doom is mechanically very impressive

#

His genji could use some work but not too bad

plush grail
#

yeah thats also what i knew blase for, his doom

#

idk why they picked him up tho

#

veteran maybe?

#

makes me doubt british hurricane is getting promoted fully

cedar oasis
#

Have we seen a bad doomfist player in owl

plush grail
#

sparkle

next mesa
#

Bruh

#

Sparkle is the best doom tf u mean

#

Awkward

cedar oasis
#

Defanitly

plush grail
#

wdym, do you not remember when sparkle refused to switch off doom and hard threw against new york

cedar oasis
#

Totaly

#

Blase is not good

plush grail
#

we just never see bad doom play because only good dooms get to play lmao

cedar oasis
#

Or doom is easy to play

plush grail
#

imagine spending 50k on a contract for a doom one trick and he only plays 1 game against the worst team in league history

next mesa
#

Doom isn't easy he really requires sum teamwork

plush grail
#

with so many teams going budget that's just such a chad move lmao

cloud latch

signing chipsa was a 5head move

opinions on philly?

#

they're pretty solid for a minimum player roster imo

silk frost

WHAT THE FUCK DID LONDON DO?!

next mesa

Top 5

#

Maybe

cedar oasis

If they get rascal top 4

silk frost

Philly is the dark horse of APAC

cloud latch

philly has a really good coach

silk frost
#

A fantastic one yeah

next mesa

They're gonna be below dragons

#

But above charge and spark imo

silk frost
#

I agree

cloud latch
#

agreed

next mesa
#

If charge and spark really clicks doe

#

I can see them passing philly

#

I think they have a higher ceiling

cloud latch
#

I can see charge being 2nd

plush grail
#

spark can for sure clap a team like fusion, they just have to

#

they can play around with player so much and find a optimal comp against them

#

and fusion cant do much about it

silk frost
#

Spark just need to click

#

They haven't since 2018

#

2019

worn falcon
#

Always forgot philly id APAC now

#

Wonder which other teams are going APAC

#

Imagine Shock in APAC games

next mesa
#

shock going to apac just comes down to crusty vs moon

plush grail

shock washed

silk frost
#

THEY HAVE G L I S T E R

tropic herald
#

Everyone is a NY doubter

#

But watch out when Gwangboong and Yakpung boom your favorite APAC team

hot heart
#

I believe in NYXL

#

Genuinely very very promising team

#

Especially the dps line

#

The tank line will be solid

#

The support line might be a bit on the bottom side tbh

#

But who knows

cedar oasis
#

Friday has them scrim bucks

vagrant jacinth
#

Ivy will be great and I think feather will be too. I just don't see the rest performing

silk frost

Gwangboong is mechanically good

cloud latch

who did he play for?

tropic herald

Team CAT

cedar oasis

They must have done good in trails

raw ermine

DPS is gonna be boom or bust for NYXL

Surprised no one has signed (announced) GaeBullSsi or Valentine yet

You realise if they have signed val already, they have a date specifically for them

next mesa

I guess gaebullsi not going to nyxl

#

So blase to london huh

#

Also imo kinda makes it look like they won't force eu teams to stay and play on high ping

karmic grotto
#

I'm not sure what even is going to happen. But I'm positive we will get out of this mess

#

Overwatch will starts in April and we will have homestands

earnest leaf
#

Doubtful for homestands

#

But

#

Vaccines are rolling out so it will slowly start to calm things down, and possibly before owl starts, travel is a bit easier

vagrant jacinth
#

Especially now that uk got rona 2

plush grail
#

anyone here in europe who might go to any EU homestands?

trail perch
#

I would go to paris

#

I live in england

raw ermine
#

as opposed to going to a london game?

tropic herald
#

I think Homestands are do able but they have to be limited capacity until the vaccine

plush grail
#

limited amount of people will be allowed to watch london get swept by every other team at their own homestand

#

a truly amazing experience

#lf-players-na to put info about yourself and join other teams. If you wanna join an actually path 2 pro team, climb to around 4600 on one roll, then try and look out for teams in contenders and contender trials and open division. Then you can follow p2p

Or go to au contenders lmao

plush grail

Or climb to 2000 and join Boston

raw ermine
#

Sephy said owl orgs weren't making profits even if they sold all the tickets to a homestand

feral zodiac

Remember when a diamond team qualified in open division au

raw ermine

So it didn't seem like they would be

plush grail
#

Isn't all of Australia just silver/plat

feral zodiac
#

How'd they find out?

raw ermine
#

Look up a reddit post on comp ow made by sephy

plush grail
#

Isn't one of the main reasons why paris is going budget is because they needed the profits from the home stands??

raw ermine

Something along the lines of

I should've asked who is sephy first

raw ermine

'10 ways to improve owl'

Ahhh

Not a good coach but seems like he could be a good member of the people at Blizzard behind owl

How would a blase sparkr danedd dps line do

Mediocre

Bottom tier for sure

hot heart

Even sparkr?

next mesa

Will he even match like Linkzr and onigod

balmy wolf

not that hard to outshine linkzr

it'll be a bottom 3 line for sure

hot heart

Hmm

#

Now that i think about it

#

Their the 2nd worst

#

*they're

silk frost
#

Onigod/Naga and Linkzr/Dalton are probably worse

feral zodiac

Depends what version of linkzr you get on the day

silk frost
#

I don't think it matters tbh

feral zodiac

He has his moments of glory

idk, I don't think he'll have enough moments to make him better than bottom 3

Decay doha is also top 5

Fleta Lip
Rascal ANS
Carpe Ivy
Profit fits
bqb yaki
decay doha
No particular order, but they can't all be top 5

balmy wolf

gotta put more chinese teams in

#

decay doha isnt a duo anymore

#

bqb yaki is strong but their A+

actually i would just go by their season rankings tbh

#

so paris would be fourth then

plush light
#

Where would soon Nicogdh be (at their peaks)

digital cloud

pretty low

balmy wolf

i would say nico is middle to low tier

soon is pretty high by himself

with the other 2 dps in paris s3 it was a good lineup

with little to no gaps in hero pools

What about sbb libero

balmy wolf

wasnt played much in season 3

but it was better than whoru/sbb

I mean in s1

all of NY in s1 were top 3 in their role
