yeah

#

daily reminder chipsa made approximately 122004 dollars playing in OWL

digital cloud
#

wish I could make that much money doing nothing

#

but at least he didn't get signed due to nepotism WidowLUL

mortal abyss
#

Yiska said there’s a team in apac doing worse then LAV in scrims

#

And supposedly it’s a CN team

#

LAV > Shanghai confirmedPogChimp

next mesa
#

Who could it be dude

#

Chengdu?

#

Doubt

balmy wolf
#

i guess philly makes the most sense

#

the only team we havent seen

mortal abyss
#

Philly wouldn’t be scrimming as an entire team tho

balmy wolf
#

ye they have big visa issues

#

they could struggle in scrims

#

3 players are still in eu

trail perch
#

maybe the reason chengdu signed Mmonk is bc they where being hot dogshit

balmy wolf
#

could be

craggy sandal
#

I could see it being Spark

balmy wolf
#

spark too good

craggy sandal
#

Talent wise yeah but i can see them run into communication problems and synergy

mortal abyss
#

^

balmy wolf
#

maybe

#

i dont think thats possible tho

craggy sandal
#

Why?

#

Almost every single in apac is better talent wise so it has to be a comm/coaching issue

balmy wolf
#

philly is the most realistic one

balmy wolf
earnest leaf
#

I don't see how philly would be worse in any way than valiant

trail perch
#

I mean if they pulled some s2 shit

#

Carpe zarya pog

plush grail
#

charge, nyxl, shanghai and seoul have already shown that theyre good

#

in the open tournaments and open scrims

plush grail
#

u have players like seominsoo, architect, guxue, shy

#

just scrim stuff rn though isn't it

#

this doesn't mean shit

plush grail
#

yeah true but still

#

the JUICE

digital cloud
#

truth

plush grail
#

could also be chengdu

#

because they signed monk a month before the start

#

could be that one of the other supports is flopping HARD

next mesa
#

not possible

#

literally cant imagine 1987 flopping

#

just for double fs

plush grail
#

idk man

#

only leads we have is a vague statement from yiska

#

and chengdu picked up a new support really recently

raw ermine
#

omg its halo

#

he speaks

digital cloud
#

He did

#

Why he would ever be seen as someone to interview is beyond me

sullen berry
#

He literally asked last month if he wanted to be invited to a podcast

#

and stated he wanted to be a guest for a relatively smalled show to help boost their rep. A nice gesture

remote cedar
#

I watched some OW League stuff

#

And i found some more reason why it sucks

sullen berry
remote cedar
#

A major problem is, that it is not spectacular enough.

Just look at CS:GO for example, or DOTA, the stadiums there are crazy, the lights, the hype, everyone's adrenaline is rushing, it's like a UFC match. Even the fog plays a huge role, it's like being on a concert and losing yourself in the moment.

OW League of too childish, too stiff, everyone is scared to say something wrong due to Blizzard liking to ban people for mistakes. The lights are way too bright, it just feels as you are sitting in a normal room.

#

And pro teams bind with cities was a really bad decision. For example, no guy from China or Russia would like to play for Florida, it's just stupid af

#

Blizzard tried to come up with something new, but it didn't work out, OW pro scene deserves so much more because the game is actually good

digital cloud
#

Take it up with blizz

remote cedar
#

If Blizzard is smart enough, they will rework the whole OW league thing with the Overwatch 2 launch

sullen berry
#

yeah you're going to be cut off at each sentence here, you best be prepared for people to say "yeah i know but" or "you didn't watch x man come on"

digital cloud
#

No one has ever accused blizzard of being smart

remote cedar
#

HUH

#

LEMME CHECK THAT

sullen berry
#

you've also timed this statement very poorly

remote cedar
#

XD

#

I just came back to OW recently

#

"Stunning 4K"

someone did the clip feature

next mesa
#

oops

wtf

#

forget what I said

#

but yes

#

clip it ship it baby

sullen berry
#

can't mess this up since it has everything most people expected to improve this year with a reset and preparations to go online this year

next mesa
#

I think they just need OGN production quality

#

camera angles

#

highlights

#

more content

#

LAN preferably

sullen berry
#

clipping is going to be kinda sus

remote cedar
#

Okay, they didn't change the Teams being bind with cities thing.

That's just sad, there is just no motivation for a guy from Siberia to play for New York for example. Or a guy from Vietnam to play for Philadelphia...

#

I mean, seriously..

next mesa
#

what

#

whats the problem

feral zodiac
#

Ah yes

#

Siberian gamers

#

Very common

next mesa
#

vietnam??

remote cedar
#

The problem is, that they can't connect with the team, at all

next mesa
#

wait whats the probleM?

remote cedar
#

Mentally at least

mortal abyss
#

Koreans play for new york

sullen berry
feral zodiac
#

A guy from israel plays for philly

next mesa
#

if you live in new york

sullen berry
#

your NRGs and Cloud 9s are your SF Shock and London Spitfire

next mesa
#

if I lived in new york and supported new york I could not careless if the people on the team were new yorkers ima be honest

#

I just want the team to get fat Ws and if koreans are the best then so be it

sullen berry
#

anyways don't feel bad for missing out, GOATs turned off a lot of casuals from watching OW League

remote cedar
#

You don't really understand what i mean

next mesa
#

yeah I dont

remote cedar
#

Playing for your homecity hypes you up, playing for someone else homecity is just cringe af

feral zodiac
#

When has a team being based in a city ever stopped football fans

#

Or players

next mesa
#

lol

sullen berry
#

we're talking about a brand, not an actual city representation

next mesa
#

you make no sense

#

the toronto raptors have like 1 canadian

feral zodiac
#

Go to premier league teams

sullen berry
#

Guangzhou has Eileen, from the province the city is named after

next mesa
#

#

#

and im sure some people support charge because of eileen

sullen berry
#

puts AKM blades to shame, that guy

feral zodiac
#

Eileen the beast from the east

remote cedar
#

Let's say im a insanely skilled top 1 world African player from Zimbabwe and he joins the New York team, it's just weird because his whole city, his family, his friends are cheer for him, but he's not playing for his country or city, he's playing for NEW YORK (LOL?).

It's just so confusing and cringe.

feral zodiac
#

Sounds to me like you're finding a problem where there isn't one

digital cloud
#

That is not how franchising works

next mesa
#

oh my god that is some cringe thinking

sullen berry
#

well listen, I think you misunderstand WHY there is no african or SEA players in the league

remote cedar
#

It's as if you are holding someone elses flag on the Olympics

feral zodiac
#

So are you saying

next mesa
#

except its not the olympics

#

there's this thing

#

its called the world cup

feral zodiac
#

Only people from the city should play for the team

next mesa
#

LOL michael jordan was not from chicago

tepid ibex
#

i mean no one has ever had a problem with playing for a team based on the city it represents in owl

remote cedar
#

No nope, pro teams should not be bind to cities

feral zodiac
#

Bro why is messi playing at Barcelona

#

He is from Argentina

remote cedar
#

Like in LoL, Dota or CS:GO

feral zodiac
#

???

tepid ibex
next mesa
#

It's called franchising

remote cedar
next mesa
#

Lebron isnt from LA why is he playing for the lakers

remote cedar
#

xD

next mesa
#

maybe because he likes the cit

#

y

#

idk

digital cloud
#

This does not appear to be a genuine line of questioning at this point

remote cedar
#

I don't know guys, it's just weird to me.. That's it..

mortal abyss
#

Yo why is ben stokes playing for RR when he's english smh my head

kind ridge
#

@next mesa Because he was offered a fat contract

sullen berry
feral zodiac
#

Sinatraa not even from earth, why he playing for earth based teams

next mesa
kind ridge
#

But la picked him up first

sullen berry
#

believe me, weird to see chinese teams with korean players, I agree with that

next mesa
#

lebron just likes LA

#

as a team and culture and LA had the assets to trade

#

ok off topic

sullen berry
#

but why should it stop me from watching the best talent and then some player diversity on others because of being tied to a city in a location they'd never be able to visit otherwise?

next mesa
#

idk like nero was in charge

#

im sure the charge people didnt mind him

#

maybe would be like

#

"why isnt eileen playing"

sullen berry

We’re also introducing a new match scores ticker and a spoiler-free mode that allows fans to hide match results on the scores ticker, schedule, and standings sections.

The scores ticker and spoiler-free mode is scheduled to launch at the start of the Overwatch League season on April 16.

#

and then proceed to spoil the results of the tournament grand finals

#

🙂

Interviewer: Ohh... Ummm...

mortal abyss

and even if they did striker wouldnt say "FUCK SAN FRANCISCO KOREA #1 LMAO "

remote cedar
#

Lmao

tepid ibex
#

you're overthinking this way too much, the cities are simply just for marketing and franchising

oh well im happy with 4k ow league

inb4 tons of buffering and cuts

sullen berry
#

I'd like a preview of what 4K actually looks like

#

bandwidth for live 4K is impossible on Activision Blizzard's budget

worn falcon

that gonna drain the bandwith of the observers

that's going to be interpolated 4k

is this some sort of instagram aspect ratio

remote cedar
#

Let's goooooo

sullen berry
#

do we tell them

worn falcon
#

all the blackbars

sullen berry
#

even if this diagram exagerrates the UI a bit, in game is just fine

#

but the observer HUD is going to look so squashed

mortal abyss
#

its

#

a joke

#

didn't mean to cause any confusion

sullen berry
#

now they're going to tell me it's going to say VAL and GUA instead of Los Angeles Valiant vs Guangzhou Charge becuase the text is too long

worn falcon
#

we still dont know which casters are confirmed right?

#

apart from uber and x

digital cloud
#

Uber right?

sullen berry
digital cloud
#

And Bren?

worn falcon
#

bren confirmed?

digital cloud
#

They talked about it plat chat

sullen berry
#

yeah, go watch the 20 min video

digital cloud
#

Said he was working with blizz for a while

sullen berry
#

please it's worth your time understanding how Uber wanted to cast Valorant

worn falcon
#

for desk im sure they gonna keep soe

#

reinforce still on desk?

#

custa?

#

rehire puckett?

sullen berry
#

re: soe

worn falcon
#

Recently, Mitch “Uber” Leslie has announced that he and Matt “MrX” Morello are returning to the OWL as casters, but no one else has been confirmed. Season 4 starts in less than a month, but no additions or announcements of who is returning to the talent team have been made yet.

sullen berry
#

I think the gang is slowly getting back together, now that Pete Vlastelica is no longer comissioner

worn falcon
#

Soe is doing outside job too, like freelance

sullen berry
#

nobody has confirmed if ZP is staying

#

now that jake is back on the Outlaws

limber pine
#

put hex back with zp

#

get legday & jaws

#

simple

sullen berry
#

I gotta watch some of that OWWC casting with them

#

it was probably their peak Overwatch together

raw ermine
#

doa to OWL? nah

#

oh no uber replied w/ eyes

#

nahh

#

joke

digital cloud
#

I miss doa

#

And I missed monte for a while too

sullen berry
#

AVRL also did a funny in response to DoA

next mesa
#

AVRL is pog

sullen berry
#

the comment and the reply - the madman

worn falcon
#

DoA wasnt very into owl right?

#

no

#

that was Semmler

raw ermine
#

I think that was sem

#

yeah

sullen berry
#

semmler and crumbs

raw ermine
#

doa left cause monte left I think

#

monte left cause nate nanzer left

#

nanzer left cause cash money

worn falcon
#

monte left because he had a tons of ideas and owl producers said no

#

he wanted to build something like platchat

sullen berry
#

yeah so I'd agree season 3 did nothing to make them confident that the product was going to be the same again, now it's different with Jon taking the unofficial role as commissioner

#

the answer to having them back is to regularly share and post some of those gloruious season one wtachpoint preview and postshow episodes

worn falcon
#

yep

sullen berry
#

that was more enjoyable to watch and was more involved

worn falcon
#

interviews with coaches and such

sullen berry
#

but I'd appreciate the extra effort when i see it

#

that was going to be sideshow's vlogs essentially

#

and he did a LOT with only the dallas homestand in travel vlogs

worn falcon
#

bren is taking a chill

#

wonder if sideshow is burning out too

sullen berry
#

his hair literally grew back

#

he could not be less stressed taking on this season of OWL Casting/Analysis while still partaking in couch streaming valorant and the two halves of plat chat every week

#

this guy will not break for casual esports content

#

neither has custa, too

worn falcon
#

man is dead inside

plush grail
#

i dont see sideshow leaving tbh

#

he's staying for sure

#

im guessing bren will be back too

#

but he's taking a break till owl starts again

sullen berry
#

matt will also be around, except with fewer matches it's a no brainer we won't see very much if at all

plush grail
#

is it mentioned anywhere

#

how many tokens per hour

sullen berry
#

i don't really care about the rate

#

more interested in stability of the token drops

#

contenders been having the 404 errors again

#

which are going to tilt people to no end if it's not figured out this time round

plush grail
#

no but it's just weird how it isn't mentioned anywhere

#

either they're upping it again

#

or less per hour

sullen berry
#

they won't have any particular reason to up that count

#

the number of total matches per hour should be about the same, when you include the tournament arcs

plush grail
#

tbh new token system would be perfect if there would be a way to track progress

sullen berry
#

gamifying the shit out of token drops is all they need to get more casuals onto this in 2021

plush grail
#

it was a PAIN in season 3, watch a hour of owl just to check if your tokens are working

sullen berry
#

i can expect there's going to be another all access pass designed with youtube in mind

plush grail
#

and if u didn't get tokens u just wasted a hour and now have to fix something

sullen berry
#

I hope that if I repost any content from this season's matches

#

I'll be able to make the most of it by slapping [4K] in the prefix of all my videos

plush grail
#

GZC getting 3-0'd by nyxl in 4K

except bren is under the desk

season 4 roster of nyxl is weirder than jake paul

timber flume
# trail perch ruining the LA valiant

I actually liked how LA valiant performed in gladiators match, although they got 3-0'ed they still did a good job, I expect them to be 16-17th at the end of the season

worn falcon

Have some hope for nyxl pls

#

Still my boy libero

Mek0

#

Anamo, Nenne

#

Fuck :(

fierce ferry
timber flume
#

Nyxl will always be a good team

#

but their tankline wont

hot onyx
#

Hot take: Nyxl dps line is within the top 5 best in the league but the team is gonna finish bottom 10 in overall standings

tawdry hamlet
plush grail
#

chinese valiant

#

pog

#

also the rumours of valiant not being the worst

#

its either chengdu or spark

#

because they both had to pick up new coaches or players

vagrant cargo
vagrant cargo
#

Good tankline very good fs friday is solid and dps line is nuts

plush grail
#

i legit have more faith in this new nyxl line up

#

over the old one

hot onyx
#

Coaching staff

plush grail
#

old roster was goated but was just not working

hot onyx
#

Because of the coaching staff

#

IMT and Whynot are the worst coaches in the league and that is a hill that I will die on

plush grail
#

well IMT is gone

#

at least i think he is

#

he's head of data now

#

so not a coach anymore

hot onyx
#

If they managed to ruin a team with sbb nenne libero whoru roty haksal hotba bianca mano anamo mandu and mvp jjonak then they can ruin this one

#

Still a part of the team

#

Still has interactions with the players

plush grail
#

yeah tbh if u cant win with that roster

#

just leave the league at that point

hot onyx
#

Mandu and Libero were given almost 0 opportunities to prove themselves

#

And when Libero did get his opportunities they were either against lower teams or on main support/hitscan

#

Haksal in sombra over sbb or nenne

#

I want whatever they were smoking

vagrant cargo
#

WhyNot as a HC is rated fairly high by players according to yiska iirc

#

And IMT as a analyst is good

#

Hes just not a good HC

hot onyx
#

Jjonak said in an nyxl game thingie on the yt channel that “IMT is the brains of the team”

vagrant cargo
#

Brains due to the way he handles data

#

HC is the leader and sometimes the brain

#

For example crusty kdg are leaders and brains

#

While supreme is "just" a leader

#

It varies from team to team

#

And as far as i saw nyxl looked very coordinated vs shock and also had great rotations and in general macros vs charge

hot onyx
#

I’m gonna shoot myself if that scrim is mentioned one more time

#

Yeah they played well I’ll admit and perhaps I might be underrating them but it was one game in one meta

vagrant cargo
#

They also looked good macro wise vs charge

#

Thats 2 matches where they played various comps

#

And looked coordinated on all of them

hot onyx
#

Yeah they did tbf but this is why it’s a hot take

#

Saying something that everyone would agree on like “shock and dragons are the strongest looking teams this season” would be a circlejerk

vagrant cargo
#

Its fine to have a hot take but u need to back it up i think

hot onyx
#

Season 3 nyxl had their moments in the sun as well keep in mind

vagrant cargo
#

For example i can back up my toronto > dallas take

hot onyx
#

Dude it’s only a hot take if I disagree

vagrant cargo
vagrant cargo
hot onyx
#

Will Smith says that’s hot that’s hot

vagrant cargo
#

I can back it up

#

Profit was wildly inconsistent on his comfort picks last season and even then didnt look top tier on them during regular season

#

And the coaching hasnt changed

#

His only top tier hero last season was hanzo id argue

#

The region has fleta Ivy Rascal Leave Architecht Eileen

#

All of them beat profit on most heros

vagrant cargo
#

And most of them have better coaching too

#

I could see architecht slip

hot onyx
#

Architect was in my head when you said that tbh

vagrant cargo
#

Archi imo looked better in regular season and if he keeps the Shanghai masters performance up he will definitely be better

#

But he could slip because till now spark coaching hasnt been good

hot onyx
#

And with him having imo a much better team around him than last season

#

As long as Shy M1ka and Lige get integrated correctly I’d predict spark making top 3 apac

#

Oh also new spark assistant coach and data chap announced

#

But what about profit tracer?

#

Surely that’s top tier

#

Granted comparing his echo mei and genji to a lot of other players and seeing how those could be meta that take is actually quite accurate

meager swallow
#

does watching the experimental tournament give you ow league tokens?

hot onyx
#

Sorry to say that I haven’t got the slightest clue

vagrant cargo
#

By pretty much every tracer

#

Like i rewatched some apac tracer games because apac tracers tend to play way different appereantly

#

And the amount of air profit did most of the time is impressive

hot onyx
#

Fair

I might be out of the loop but wasn’t Unique a decent player when he was in contenders?

yes

who else could it be

he was part of EM

when they won gauntlet

hot onyx
#

Ah when they won the gauntlet

next mesa

People thought he was gonna join dallas instead of unique

I only saw him in EM when they played the finals against runaway

hot onyx
next mesa
#

Yes

#

Oops

Mb

hot onyx
#

Dw

#

Any idea on what the current meta is rn?

next mesa
#

Since they were picking EM

hot onyx
#

Jecse is former EM

next mesa
#

Rush or double bubble

#

Idk

hot onyx
#

Which damage heroes?

next mesa
#

Rush is like mei cree

#

There's some ashe tracer sombra for winston comps

hot onyx
#

If it’s rush I’m willing to bet it’s Seoul

next mesa
#

Apac hates playing rush though

#

But yeah

#

MHbe seoul

#

But idk they looked good without profit against jistice

hot onyx
#

And then they’ll win against the dragons after this down patch lmao

#

Seoul don’t really have an excellent rein player

#

When the meta shifts they’ll be scary

#

Either Seoul or Nyxl let IMT out of his cage again and he’s putting Jjonak on sombra

#

I can’t see any of the other teams having that much of a rough patch

but what about Adamas Esports Training & Performance for Vancouver

raw ermine
#

still don't know what a buyout is...

#

lol

#

is it just the right to buy an entire team?

next mesa
#

the right to buy a player

#

to sign

sand violet
#

A buyout is something that the team sets for a player under contract which dictates how much a NEW team would have to pay the original team to pickup that player

next mesa
#

yes

sand violet
#

buyouts are more important in t2 than t1 because usually if a team wants someone in t1 they can wait for free agency or trade or something

#

buyouts are one of the few ways that t2 teams make money and theyre usually very small anyways

#

so basically for each TI player that titans would sign, they would have to pay an extra 1k to the Third impact org

#

and they decided that saving 7k was worth it

#

probably because they thought that SW core would do just as good as TI

#

which is moronic

#

but what do u expect from shit orgs

#

or they just literally didnt care at all how good the team did and just wanted a roster to play, in which case SW would be cheaper

digital cloud
#

TI was so good at the time

#

I can see wanting to save money but surely 7k isn't that bad for a large org

It's like fantasy owl right

I've also always wanted to try it

But all the apps for it suck

mortal abyss

Draftbuff is very good

sullen berry
#

every single fantasy owl draft that sucked last year didn't manage to adapt to the new schedule

#

plus it was only 9 months ago that we still had an all-korean Titans roster Titans

#

is there new way to get league tokens?

plush grail
#

just the standard watch the games live

rich bear
#

i heard that youtube lets you get them now but no idea how

plush grail
rich bear
#

🤔

#

so i should probably just keep using the app huh

plush grail
#

idk tbh

#

also if i made a owl fantasy league would anyone here be interested?

rich bear
#

cuz im betting that the tokens wont register on youtube or their website if you have it in the background at a low volume

#

bruh i just realized bastion and rein contenders skins were happening like all month wtf

#

i never got any news about that bruh

wanton birch
#

@plush grail yeah

rich bear
#

only 2 more days to earn the skins bruh...

plush grail
#

i'll just wait for a day or so and see if it's worth actually doing

willow moon
#

What's that? Never heard of it

plush grail
#

it's like a fantasy league

#

make ur own team

#

and compete with other players

rich bear
#

its like you playing overwatch but instead of playing characters you play players

#

and also you dont play

plush grail
#

its more like

#

u get to manage ur own owl team

#

and then see how ur fantasy team performs

#

and no its fully just simulated

willow moon
#

Uhmmm I think I know something like that with football

#

If the RL players do good your players do good?

mortal abyss

It is?

#

Oh that's for the regular, not the blizz one

tawdry hamlet
raw ermine
#

yeah seems reasonable

tawdry hamlet
#

Unless it's just chengdu being chengdu but idk the valiant roster kind of gross compared to chengdu atm

#

So I'd probably put my bets on Nyxl since it's a mostly new squad

trail perch
#

GZC open scrim says otherwise

#

If that was worse than valiant, that means valiant is like top 3

#

Because from that i got NYXL is either equal or better than GZC

#

And GZC was pretty comprable to other APAC teams

#

Like seoul

earnest leaf
#

No chance an apac team is worse than valiant

#

Unless krystal has a 20 inch cock and is doing fleta deadlifts and 1v6ing

trail perch
#

We knew that tho

#

He does that from time to time

Hmm that's true wate

Remember when the vancouver titans gave away free accounts?

I still have 4 unused ones so im making some smurfs

#

and I get the echo skin on all of them :)

tropic herald

I’m pretty sure every NA team gave out free ones

raw ermine
#

How many accounts did they give away?

earnest leaf
#

i got one from philly

trail perch
tawdry hamlet
#

more than that

#

I got 2 from justice and my friend was on a college team that is associated with the justice so he got 3 of them lol

#

I think titans did like 3 giveaways same with washington iirc, I just know accounts were like ez af to get for a while

trail perch
#

what level is colligate ow?

#

Like on the ladder

#

Is it like plat? or like GM+

forest raven
#

The better collegiate teams are all GM+

trail perch
#

But whats the average?

#

like would I be able to make it as a mid masters player?

#

like 3800

forest raven
sand violet
#

There is no specific sr for collegiate

#

it is entirely dependent on what school you look at

#

thats like asking "what sr is overwatch comp"

#

it can be ANY sr, it depends on where youre looking and your own skill level

#

there are mid masters teams, there are bronze teams, there are contenders teams

#

it depends on what school you go to

forest raven
#

Harrisburg is like the best one ain't it?

chrome schooner
#

Any of y'all lucio or ana main?

forest raven
tawdry hamlet
#

My friend was on the Main team and he was a masters peak off tank and then they had masters/gm at every role and an ex contenders flex support

#

But the top teams are all gm plus

#

Like harrisburg and marysville have a lot of ex owl players

#

Harrisburg is coached by philly's s1 coach iirc

hidden vault

Had noru coached one of the league teams before?

just to complain it isn't fun

mortal abyss

oh them

plush grail

was he annoyed that teams had players not from the city they represent??

mortal abyss
#

is there audio delay for anyone else

sullen berry
#

there wasn't true city representation was his problem, I think we convinced him that it's just a misunderstanding

plush grail
#

tbh i kinda agree

#

the league is like

#

70% american teams

#

and 30% europe and asia

digital cloud
#

I am sure blizzard would happily accept money from any region

plush grail
#

yeah thats the thing ofcourse

digital cloud
#

there probably wasn't much interest for the Buenos Aires Bombers or whatever

plush grail
#

most investors are from the US and i doubt a US investor wants a african or european team

digital cloud
#

exactly

#

now I would love to have an African or South American team

#

but iirc there are no African servers

plush grail
#

I think it'd be hype if more of the big european countries got teams

and South America doesn't have that big of a scene comparitively

a german team, polish team, spain
