2 teams each region right
that was the only reason paris could beat philly
im thinking dragons will qualify for every tourney
Yeah but in thier other matches it was usually pretty close, it was always fun watching them play against each other
second apac rotate between like every apac team
on paper dragons have the current best dps line
and close to the best tank and support
yes omg they are so crackedddddd
probably a rotation of philly spark seoul
dps needs to be more explosive this year
since they dont have fearless
the playmaker
every year just gets better and better for most teams
I think this is going to be Fate’s year
I have my doubts
fate's gonna look really good
Did you watch him at NEXT?
He doesn't hardthrow he's gonna look top tier
a bit
In the last game
I didn't watch the finals yet
he is absolutely great, ofc, but I have a thing where I get really hyped about newcomers
His ball was hacked significantly less times than Marve1 and Gesture
I am thinking 9a9a, muze, and mag outdo him
is 9a9a a better ball then ameng? I've seen a couple people say he is but i don't atch much contenders
dallas needs to hit the right meta to be championship level
Ok, Gaga is another one I think will be insane
gaga has ameng ball but can actually play other tanks
neither do i
Gaga Muze Fate Mag Smurf Fearless
oh ok
Those are the best ones I can think of
Supposedly Takoyaki is a freak
I think Sado is pretty good, I’d be willing to keep him S if he performs on Toronto
honestly toronto kinda sleeper pick rn
I keep forgetting how many good pieces they have
Mano has potential to be amazing with a better support line and better coaching this year
Toronto has a really scary roster but I’m low key scared of some of their players
Like Ansoonjae and Michelle
I have no idea who the former is and the other one was meh in my memory
not all of them are what I would consider winners, true
but they to me have about the same sort of pieces as, say, washington or boston
maybe Washington a bit higher but
Mag Fury Decay is def enough to Puch Justice high even if other parts underperform
only a few teams really look weak rn
London, paris, Vancouver
maybe atlanta Houston mayhem
How are mayhem weak?
Any of the showmatches legit don’t matter
And they weren’t trying since it was like 2am for them
and neither do games, we know
saving strats
bad ping
hurt their elbows, sun in their eyes
anyway, even if the showmatch meant nothing, they haven't gotten that many pieces I would consider game changing
Yaki is legit a crackhead
Bqq is really good
Gnj is also a top tier flex support
Gargoyle a top tier off tank
And kuki
They are definitely going to be in the upper half of na
ashamed of the joke?
😭 yeah
don't worry, I screenshot it
oh no
mwehehehehe
Well you can't send images here so i'm safe
You would have to venture outside of #esports-discussion to do that
anywho, I am not high on the idea of the Mayhem
nor can I truly say that I think Houston or Atlanta are gonna succeed
and no one wants Valiant or Vancouver to do well
except that one person that showed up here that one time that wanted a team to choose with the team they wanted already in mind
is london or paris likely to be any good?
I seem to remember them having crummy teams
London just picked up Shax a couple of days ago
london above paris
Thank you, @SharPow_ ❤️🖤
With this past season's downswings as well as our reigning moments, you always were ready on call to showcase your talents and incredible teamwork to match. Your name will always be a part of Reign's history.
#LetItReign https://t.co/Za8jRUpchR
oof
so they have 2 hitscans
need to get better supports is what they need
and maybe better tanks
probably better tanks
reminder sephy is still HC
and another hc
I hope Paris or London sign sharp
He was on roster all S3 I think but never really played
I don't think he'll be on a team now for S4
tmw lastro gets more of a graphic when joining a team than leaving
No sharp actually played a fair bit
He was the echo player
And sombra
Not perma starter but not perma benched
Lastro needs to change his name to $ex_b!g_d!ck
$3/\ _8!g_d!ck
hi:)

It's okay. One day you'll do computer science and understand why we say that Perl looks like an explosion in an ASCII factory.
no
Seriously, my life right now is "if ($linx =~ /CREATE TABLE ["]?(a-z_].)["]?(.)/i){" ... 😦
kmn.
richard Orwell Mode
Imagine using Perl instead of brainfuck like us sophisticated programmers
I prefer the minimal programming language

I prefer the english language myself but whatever floats your boat 👍
Whitespace is the best programming language
looks ugly damn 😔
first NA, then SA, now KR
Idk who any of those players are but nice
assorted NA and KR midtier korean players
Only heard of spera
🚨 Welcome to Atlanta Reign; Kai - @yung_ksp 🚨
The 2021 Season can't come soon enough, we're looking forward to seeing you #LetItReign
#OWL2021 https://t.co/s23fyj0vNL
well it happened
probably the most disproportionately dps oriented team in the league
pelican, edison, and kai, three very good dps
them and outlaws
and no supports or tanks for backup to speak of
yeah, true, but outlaws don't even have that crazy a dps line
happy and danteh are decent enough
but the others are meh
true
but the support and tank lines zzzzzzz
plus at the very least piggy is supposed to be decent
on sig
sig is still very good, and I doubt he just is decent at sig, but point taken
no one expects anything of either of those teams realistically
I have pretty good expectations for atlanta
decent support line, decent off tank, fantastic dps
defiant i could see beating teams like florida and dallas this season
do they even play lastro over aztac though ?
i doubt they will, only if aztac isnt working I think he will get play time
or in a double flex support
but they may try a rotation with lastro and aztac
doesnt like them
always called them ratlanta since they were meh
hmmm
idk how you can hate a team thats not valiant
I just don't see the connection between comparing them to rats and thinking they weren't a good team
but whatever floats your boat I guess
Is boombox the best Western fs at the moment?
imo yeah
kaan maybe
I have boom over crimzo for bap but thats literally the only hero boom got playtime on last season
Bap is more MS, but crimzos wasnt bad by any means
All Im saying
S1 of OWL and S4 of Apex had the same team basically winning it
S2-3 of both had the best team at the time rolling
Now season 1 of apex had a western roster with 1 new eastern player win it
You know what that means right?
Say hello to your 2021 champions
Which team?
i still don't know why the fkc they buffed her
I'd buff her shield and remove sigma's
One of my friends made the observation that each year the amount of Eastern-western players in the final map for the winning team in the grand finals has gotten more even over time, in season 1 it was 6 Koreans, season 2 it was 5 Koreans 1 western and in season 3 it was 4 Koreans 2 westerns
Well to be fair super is still a top 5 orisa
And they would have won with him too
But I see the point
Wait s2 sinatraa and moth?
In the final map of them winning it
S2-3 had lunatic hai too I'm sold
it was architect rascal smurf choi moth viol2t
Glads have 3-3 for their starting roster 
halo doubters where yall at
48/51 now
lul
oh hey winston got buffed, very nice
Idk if reaper got buffed or nerfrd on experimental i tried him out i still dont know
It's a nerf to his long distance effectiveness but a buff to his close distance effectiveness, so really it's a buff but it's sorta debatable
That's if I read the patch notes right, were the changes made to his range or his spread?
How is it a nerf to long distance effectiveness
If the patch is to his range then it is but I'm not sure if they changed his range or his spread
It's literally the opposite
I think
Tighter spread means more damage mid range
I think
Another experimental patch is here, with some interesting changes!

Okay yes cool
double shield is eternal
Reaper got nerfed melee ranged, buffed HARD mid range, but nerfed a little bit long range, because at long ranges you will only normally hit 1 or 2 bullets and this won't affect that. Instead, you'll deal like 1-2 less damage per shot. Not a lot, but still TECHNICALLY a nerf at long range. However, the buff to mid range damage is EXTREME
indirectly nerfed reaper with the orisa buff tho
oh a huge indirect nerf yes
on the topic of blizz protecting cheaters, was there literally any pro in overwatch that was "found" cheating?
I think BQB is cheating, but thats just my opinion
kinda weird how not a single pro were ever caught cheating for 4 years but thats just my take.
Pros gain nothing from cheating
and have everything to lose
and I wouldn't be surprised if when the had to play remotely, their PCs where scanned for cheats
Since they had to play official matches
I mean Mouffin cheated
just not at the game
and Valiant cheated like 8 players so who's really the cheater
I believe since they all play at team houses and it is a franchised league where they use sponsors and equipment and stuff any potential financial gains are outweighed by the huge amounts of losses
If they cheat, their org and team get fined, they'd be blacklisted, lose their legaue salary and shit. All for what to like win a prize pool that could be voided if cheating was discovered. They make far too much money and have grinded way too hard to justify cheating outside of things like smurfing and account boosting since many players have been fined for that
Also I think the league games are played on a specific client or something so im sure cheating just isn't feasible
Winston buffed too. Reaper on paper seems quite 'meh' now.
Pretty sure Jon spector said they were
anyone know any good diamondish tournaments going on around now?
There's a number of things they have in place, one of those is remote access.
When they're playing on-prem, the systems are all a set spec and the players have two SSDs which are removable/replacable - one they keep and one clone which stays on-prem. However I don't know what hardware was being utilised for Season 3 when they were remote.
hey-team manager here-looking for a coach for TANK DPS and SUPPORT-message me for more info
I highly doubt anyone in the owl is cheating
I think that lastro is using sexBigDick.exe to cheat.
Is OWL following 222 or will it be like open q?
Is owl keeping hero pools this year?
i hope not
but they cant balance their game
so we might stuck with the same shit meta for the whole season
thats bad aswell
Hey is there a channel that I can post my preseason power rankings in?
Won’t let me use the picture icon
It’s faded and not budging when I tap it

After watching Overwatch Cinematic, I am proud of Overwatch.
1644
smh paid actor
what cinematic
Any currrent way to get free league tokens?
If viol2t gets mvp they should make a troll bap skin
dogshit opinion
ratlanta is going to be bad
theres no way
bottom 5 in na?
yes
quote me on that
there dps is good tho
yes
garbage
yes
boston is better then atlanta
no way
i would say houston aswel
stand1 isnt good
chengdu better then atlanta
maybe
he stil played good
apac is stacked
stand1 better then gator
either team could be top5 in na
not chenngdu
gator isnt that bad man
i watched some vods he is actually pretty good
not the best
currently gator is one of the worst main tanks in na
but def better than stand1
hje played two games
wtf
gator played 20
ofc he looks bad against shock
or philly
i mean its not that stand1 was bad
but he had little impact
you said stand1 was bad then said he only played two games to disprove him being good
I don't think we know enough about most of his hero pool
although the only not bad component of atlanta is their dps
but their dps have been supposedly top tier every season and they've been dogwater most of the time
he said they are bot 5
in NA?
yes
ehhh maybe
he simply isn't that good
gator hawk hasn't exactly been impressive and I'm not sure they've ever tried to change it up
2 of those are hitscans that play the same hero
their best players are both hitscans
kinda
they won't be as good as you think
they are good on every dps hero
atlanta was never good and will never be good
ehhh releasing sharp changed that for me
he was barely played but his echo and sombra were the best on that team
bot 5 in NA isn't doubting atlanta
it is tho
NA has unanimously improved
na is shit
which of these players excluding kai are above average
^
iris def
pelican is nuts tho
he said above average
i legit would not be surprised if atlanta joins london, vancouver and paris
above average for FS isn't close to what iris is
wtf guys
no but like in the past they kinda had some good pieces like erster and babybay
but wtf do they have now
I think they'll place and look better than the bottom 3
ksp > babybay
that's all they have
imo atlanta looking kinda meh
hmm
kai and pelican can't deadlift them
let's hope they play good then
i cant change your mind
but when i look at their roster
i dont really see any stand out names and this roster could legit have trouble with paris or london
gator hawk aren't good
ehhh maybe it can go either way
i legit only remember hawk and gator being seen as like a decent double shield duo
but no way
gator has a decent rein
oh yeah and that
hawks dva is good
also you can't compare dogman to lastro
yes they got iris
who's better, hawk gator or hadi molf1g
so is gator hawk
not to be a dick
but they've only looked good playing double shield and gator rein
and they improved their roster heavily
also jesus christ contenders is dead, the game where bh lost the like 1,3 year long streak does not even have 1k views
sadge
blizzard sure are good at promoting things!
They promoted contenders in during owl, in game, gave them skins, put them on the launcher, tweeted about them on owl twitter
let see
atl bottom 4
People gotta realize, others just don't care about t2 like they do owl
let's see who was right in a few months
reminds me of how i miss owl man
tbh blizzard does not even care about overwatch in general 
pepehands
I come back and see the only issue is that I place Atlanta too high
imagine announcing something in 2019
too low imo but ok xD
and then just nothing
Would’ve thought there would at least be a comment about justice or defiant
agrred
but justice too low anyways
same for toronto
Personally I have more faith in the Michelle gamble over the Closer-Bebe suicide mission
switch them with tor and we gucci
tor and justice are the 2 sleeper teams
and then we have dallas
which is still such a gamble
Everything between GZ and Nyxl is far too close for comfort
wdym
those leaked scrims
I love their dps line
alot of flexibility with the dps
gwangboong looks really good too
if the tanks and support line are decent the dps could carry
I don’t think the dps’ backs will be able to stand the pressure
they're probably coaching out the feed in jjonak with their not dogshit coaching staff
weren't there some rumours that nyxl picked up friday because jjonak liked him
i saw that on either reddit or here
Whynot will ruin the talent they have 100%
He is literally if you combined the Midas Touch with the Thanos Snap
Even though their tanks and supports are mid tier at best the coaches will ruin any chances they have
nyxl will play around jjonak perfectly but jjonak will still manage to find a way to feed because of sheer determination
I need a team looking for a lucio main
Ok thx
in APAC yes
maybe in the whole league, I'd say SFS is better than both teams. I'd say Shanghai only out classes Shock with dps
fleta, lip, erster and diem is a nutty dps line
a common worry i see about Shanghai is their flex support position
izayaki doubters
fate isnt top 5 thats shanghais weakest postion
Out of the top teams last season shanghai definitely downgraded the least
seen more worries about izayaki last season
i think they only down graded at main tank
i'd say molly is a better than luffy
and they got rid of dding for erster?
Correct
I think fates ball may be better than fearless'
maybe
Oh no it 100% is
wait yeah they had stand1 play it in gf
fearless diffs fate on monkey and that's about it
maybe on rein too
i'd say they're pretty equal on rein and orisa
fearless has a way better monkey
and fates ball is better
fearless is a contender for best MT when he's on monkey
the problem with support line nyxl isnt even jjonak its friday
don't even know the guy's name tbf
you are the problem
so I can't comment on him
owl is usually played on weekends
Not much seen from fridays VODs but I wouldn’t say there’s a particular “problem” with nyxl’s roster
that doesn't benefit friday
Seems quite well rounded, not enough to win a title
But the coaching staff will drag them down even lower
Fate is an orissa God, Def upgrade for that. Fate is good on monkey, just not smurf/fearless level, but above average, more like oge level. Fate ball is definitely and upgrade and rein is a side grade. With the new orissa buffs it is a net gain.
I put fate on even footing with fearless as an all around main tank
rein is not a side grade my guy
Fearless rein so much better
his second best tank and rein is fate's weakest hero
is chipshajen even alive anymore
he and snillo are racing to see who can get the most mushrooms in an hour
Does anyone know how to get condtenders skins for Dva or Zarya, Ive seen both in game but have never seen anything on how to get them
If they haven’t been part of the viewer rewards then you have to be part of contenders to get whatever skins
Iirc
Ah ok I play at a high Elo so those people are probably in Contenders, Thanks
Owl s1: dive, goats playoffs
Owl s2: goats, double shield playoffs
Owl s3: double shield, hog sig playoffs
Owl s4: double shield, zarya dva playoffs
hardly a goats playoff in s1 playoffs, but ok, if we go by your logic, why double shield and zarya dva? shouldn't it be hog sig and a never before known composition, which could be zarya dva?
My logic is
- Double shield will never DIE
- Last time I talked about s1 playoffs here I got bullied for saying it was triple tank solo heal meta ;-;
- S4 playoffs will probably be stupid as shit, like Zar orisa or something dumber. Dva zar was just what I thought would be funny
Yea double shield will be meta if the expiramental goes through.
im envisioning an orisa/zen + whatever else is good
because orisa is unkillable except when discorded, especially if we got a bap or an ana on the team
If exp goes through Rein, orisa, reaper, sym, zen, lucio/brig
Wasent s1 playoffs double sniper brig
S1 playoffs had a little bit of goats iirc
S1 playoffs was
40% triple tank double sniper
30% goats
30% dive
yo I just saw a clip of a bunch of SFS affiliated players/coaches/streamers playing goats. When did that happen?
Who is going to win?
TEAM STACKED 📚
Striker, FDGoD, ChoiHyoBin, Nero, Glister, Crusty
TEAM NUTTY 🥜
Viol2t, Twilight, Smurf, Ta1yo, super, Emongg
125
yesterday
Crusty shot calling win
What team comp has the best win percentage?
If you look at every comp ever it'd probably be goats
Right now I dont think you can determine
Houston
seoul
I don't have one, I would love old league skins tho I need 2018 shock skins 😭🥺
Idk account selling is against tos so I've never really looked at actual prices for stuff like that
Expecting an announcement shortly for the Washington Justice. I believe they have signed a flex DPS
232
in other news angry titans disbanded rip
pausechamp
im pretty sure this is the announcement that was happening for justice
whose gomey?
Justice graphic designer
why is everyone talking about reaper fridays
halo said not likely to be rascal or libero
Oh rly?
rascal or libero doesn't seem likely
likely to be assassin, nothing confirmed
and I thought ttuba was a god now or something
yeah
Ttuba decay and jerry
look
they're gonna do the ol' switcheroo
and sign gido as a projectile dps
tbh tho I think Illicit is a fair guess
illicit is dogshit
okay to be fair he's competing against profit, but he was still bad
was he tho?
he was a good pharah
I'm sure he'd play very well under a good system
also a good hanzo
...so?
ttuba has like
just as much experience lol
like illicit brings nothing to the team
hes not a vet or something
it would just be a waste of money
at least jerry makes it so you can do decay tracer in double hitscan
illicit just does nothing
Dude hes not starting caliber on any important heroes lol
his hanzo gets dif'd by most hanzos in the league and pharah is irrelevant
why would justice want him when they have a HUGE potential fdps
already
and dont need any of illicit's heroes
pharah and hanzo he's very good, his junkrat was lowkey insane, and his mei is lowkey very good
so all heroes justice dont need and most teams already have better players for
its not even illicit hate lol its just facts that hes not gonna start over many players in the league on any heroes
I feel like I'm being b8ed right now
dude not everyone who disagrees with you is some troll
I'm not saying that
Washington have already passed on several super good fdps and you think ILLICIT is the person they wouldve wanted?
scrimbux op
I mean they kept bebe and closer so it isn't that weird
people have been picked up for less
That just has zero correlation to anything lol
that would be implying that justice had easy picking for other supports
which we dont know
?
use ur brain bud
we dont know if bebe closer was the best of what they had options for or not
we KNOW they passed on other fdps
so again, why would they pass on very good fdps for ttuba just to pick up illicit lol
Revenge was on the market to start with, Unique is a MS available who is probably BETTER than closer, Vigilante is lowkey really good over in contenders as well
there was definitely better supports than bebe
people being on market =/= available
players can decide who they trial with and who they accept offers for
and no shot is unique better than closer rn lol
so the contenders players would rather keep on in contenders (revenge literally whined on twitter about no offers) than get an opportunity on a top 5 NA team?
Do you think that hasnt happened before?
If you think the only thing that determines players getting signed is being better then
idk
youre wildly ignorant
visa issues, personalities, previous experience with the team, willingness to trial, budget, etc etc etc
again, WE DONT KNOW if justice had better support options available
no matter how much you argue isnt going to change that FACT
you can theorize what players they had available but we dont know
we DO know what dps they passed on bc of public info
its literally that simple
stop trying to be right and just read what im saying lol
do you realize that you kinda explained my point about illicit being a potential signing for the justice
omg
worse player than the dps players they had available, but for some reason or another, he could just fit
youre illiterate
right the player they explicitly said they want to build around fits worse than illicit
right
I guess build around is the wrong word but
they value his potential over anyone elses
yeah because fits is fucking insane
is that not what you're saying?
im talking about... washington?
what the fuck is your wording dude
read that again
right the player they explicitly said they want to build around fits worse than illicit
the player they want to build around - ttuba - fits worse than illicit. That would be your argument if youre saying illicit just "fits"
you look like a drunk person who's never spoke english in his life found access to a keyboard
you realize how bad using the word "fits" is in this context is right
when you say "fits" which is ALSO THE NAME OF ANOTHER PLAYER ILLICIT USED TO PLAY WITH
youre the only one who would get confused by that LOL
YES
youre just moronic idk
right I used a verb that you just used and suddenly im talking about a player?
can you people take this to dms
have you passed first grade english clash?
dude stop typing im losing brain cells
AS TO HOW YOUR PHRASING WAS NOT THE BEST
sheesh
🤣
watchu laughing at
whole convo
lmao
We got some argumentative people here
Still remember the day Saint showed up
We had a lotta arguing that day too
it’s always fun seeing Levy argue
@true hound shut the fuck up bitch
ily
Mwah
On one hand you could probably determine what he meant by the context after a moment, but on the other hand, how did someone know who illicit is and not know who fits is
I'd say he's the worse dps player last season
i love arguing about a esport
avast power ranking is interesting
NA i totally agree, maybe dallas, mayhem and defiant switched around a little
but his APAC ranking
what
genji otp who can’t even play him as well as the other flex dps on his team can lmao
You heard it here first, levy thinks adora is better than illicit
im better than illicit
Bloody ridiculous that Los Angeles, Philadelphia and New York are permitted to not base themselves out of NA :/
I’m so confused why Mayhem is so high in everyone’s power rankings
Like yeah they aren’t shit but are they really that good
they retained a solid roster and solid coaching
Oge is the biggest question
But we know what to expect from the rest of the team
OGE makes or breaks this team and we had this same question last year
He broke Glads
Glads were having other issues that I don't think were specific to oge
Space said recently that glads in general would have communication problems, and people would go silent in matches, and they wouldn't talk as much as they should
Dpei and Space both have confirmed one of, if not the main issue, was OGE and Space synergy was not it
Hopefully oge does well in florida
full korean roster so no more excuses, no weak links either
This is his last chance
And I’m not risking it this time, Florida #3 just makes no sense
honestly 3rd place and below is a pia to place for NA
Feels like a lot of the teams can interchange there
well more so 3-6 is really wishy washy
Is it really realistic to have Florida sit comfortably above Toronto Justice and Dallas
Like I could understand Justice and Dallas maybe
For dallas I think it's meta defendant
But Toronto has a really good coach and their overall roster is good
toronto idk enough about their new players to make a decision, and justice you could argue justice being above
justice has a strong tankline with one super dps and a eh support line
The only players I question are Ansoonjae (easily Bc I haven’t watched them) and Michelle
judging new squads is always hard so
mayhem has been consistent with their biggest peak early on in the season
I think the fact that justice tank line is insane carries them through like 90% of games
Man now I’m tempted to shuffle around my NA rankings
I just keep looking at Toronto and slowly but surely they’ve been looking better and better to me
I hope sado pops off
Haters will say it’s fake
Putting glads above shock is a bit questionable
but I can see the rest of it looking how things go
Listen, I might be a little biased but, every role is pretty even and in the ones that aren’t even
Glads take it
we'll see how good they really are in playoffs
tank shock wins pretty handily though
dpei always fails when it matters
It also helps that Zarya is looking decent
glads got the better MS atm, and FS viol2t is just built different
shock are just built diff in playoffs
Also I love that no one questions my APAC rankings
dragons is number 1 and u could make a argument for any team in any position
Realistically, Seoul should clap
Will they?
Idk they shit the bed every other week
seoul gonna be 50/50 again
yes because i believe apac is the most even region
they can all take games off each other
expect dragons
If Seoul just makes sure that Gesture isn’t in on any main tank but Winston and Hog they will be fine
But for whatever reason they really like watching the world burn
they pretty well in the nexus cup
then lost to dallas
There was a very big team gap in finals
The only parallels in that match was the dps lines
I do see something people forget about when criticizing shock for the upcoming season
I don't see people mention they lost junkbuck and arachne a lot
I’ve heard that Junkbuck was pretty integral to Shock
Been said he's a mini crusty
Idk much about Archane doe
i dont believe is a massive loss in the end
I feel like just Junkbuck isn’t a bad loss
the system crusty place under the team allows him to plug in practically anyone he wants
But they lost ANS and Rascal and Moth and gained what?
they did grab agape who was apart of s1 london
Wasn’t Agape also on s2 London
crusty didnt even had junkbuck on boston
the people they picked up after losing those 3 are suitable replacements at least
Of course you can never replace those 3 fully
It feels like they have duct taped a breach in a ship, idk if it’s going to last
yea but its not a 'oh shit' moment for them, their good enough or maybe even better
Anyone got any info on who is going to Justice
its not libero or rascal
That might be good pickup
But shock did retain a solid core
That reminds me
Like it's hard for them to not be top 3 at minimum with smurf/choi/viol2t/striker
Can Proper turn 18 faster
Yeah, I’m not saying Shock bad but they certainly aren’t dominant this year
thats what we said last year
yea, and we never could have predicted that same teams were just better
like the dragons
shock gonna stay the same, the gap will be smaller in terms of skill but their still gonna dumpster teams
yea they didn't really widen the gap, but still maintained it a littlew
Or blizz forces a hackfist meta with winston sig and dallas runs rampant
even with philly being their best rival last year, the only ones to really challenge them was paris and even then that was meta dependent
mayhem was 1st but they still beat them even tho their comp was technically inferior (ashe/torb)
Countdown cup philly were favorites but shock still won as well
Paris was just playing too well during summer showdown, but even that came down to a single fight
almost won with tracer still even tho genji was better
1st cup was probs their hardest one if u think about
striker had a wrist injury and ans was forced to play and mayhem had figured the tracer/ashe was the superior lineup and still lost in the end
Was ans having mental issues then or later on?
all aim no brain
i think it was until season playoffs where he was at his best
imo tho im putting my stonks on dragons to win the season
i really like how fate has integrated into the roster
SE
UL
Always in contention
But dragons look just a bit better in the dps line
Tho that isnt saying much
the team that won only cause Fits threw EMP 🙄🙄🙄
keep living in denial 
🙄🤚 ukno it’s true
doubting the inarguable champs 
dm me if your a gamer
Halo said it was not likely gonna be him or rascal
my only hope for libero is Toronto now
That reddit thread was quite something

Carpe is the best HS in APAC. Fits and Diem are the only ones who could compare to him.
I love finding hilariously bad takes
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mag Fury Decay Assassin Bebe Closer
Lmao what about ttuba
I still think Ttuba is a good dps just not someone you want on flex dps like Mei or whatever
Tbh carpe is one of the best widows but other players can easily compare tbh
The really only widow who was wild in the owl was ans
is it a problem if I think justice is top 3 NA now?
I think Bebe and closer would actually be nutty under hocray and chillhwa
Pine wasn't even nutty he just had highlight plays
Overall as widows he wasn't as good as the top
And no it's not a problem to rate justice, all of the top tier rosters besides shock and Shanghai have holes
Fuel have holes in hero pools with ball/orisa and dps with tracer, glads have holes in their coaching and a non top tier ot, justice have holes in their sup line, etc
I trust justice to be good, theyve been scrimming for a while now i believe and all they did was pickup another flex dps, so they must be really confident in their support line
There’s no really decisive top 5s this season
Diem Imo best widow currently in league

not even based on 1v1 performance, just in general he can come in after weeks of not being used and match or best the best widows
What
Facts facts
Is anyone still into libero bc I thought he would've been picked up mega fast
It seems a general trend of preferring new younger talent has taken over, rather than veterans
Like I said you cant get any better then libero
2 liberos
Libero squared
and libero will prob be a mid season signing
if he doesnt retire
and they just want a super high mechanic flanker player in ttuba
genji tracer echo pharah
libero does some of those but not all
and clearly justice likes ttuba's mechanics on them more
I mean Libero is a mega monster pharah and genji
but not nearly as hard as ttuba is on echo tracer
and ttuba is prob a better genji anyways
Not to mention there can be a lot of reasons why teams pass on libero
so I wouldnt be surprised if hes just a mid season signing
I'm not sure if I agree with that, I think there's an argument Ttuba is a better pharah but Libero is better genji imo
same as like tobi
Any team that ends up regretting their ms signing mid season lol
like hes not gonna replace moth or funnyastro or something
but there are a lot of ms that could be good or bad this season
if one of them ends up being bad
a team could look at tobi
I mean NYXL is a prime example now that I think about it
justice charge nyxl mayhem
are all options like at a minimum
er by options I mean teams with potential to want a dif ms
not that i think justice will
I have some faith in arachne to get a lot out of Mandu honestly
still an option regardless
