[earnest leaf]

Shock didn't get tracer diffed what

It was a teamplay diff

[tropic herald]

sparky good at tracer but he wasnt able to match yaki

[tawdry hamlet]

well you see, when somebody hints at an iconic player coming back, and the person that says it has been right 9/10 times, people get hyped

[digital cloud]

he has been nowhere near that accurate

and the stuff he has missed has been massive

[mortal abyss]

Isn’t he like 48/51

[tawdry hamlet]

I mean if he didn't know I highly doubt he would flatout make such a statement lmao

that is like saying "xqc is coming back"

[digital cloud]

oh yeah

like that one time when he bet his career

and then came back

[true hound]

didnt halo get like

48/52 roster updates correct

this szn

[karmic grotto]

[devout path]

damn i know a lot of those players

[devout path]

? why is he on a plane

[mortal abyss]

To get to Vancouver

He was in Korea during may melee

[hasty wing]

I’m looking at what the four tournaments are this year and what’s the countdown cup? I’m so confused LMAO

is it just like the other 3 tournaments?

[sullen berry]

yeah, it's just the branding

May Melee has just ended

[hasty wing]

Ohh, so does it have the same prize pool as the other tournaments?

[sullen berry]

give the teams a 2 week break before June Joust qualifiers happen

[hasty wing]

Right right

[sullen berry]

yeah it's the same prize pool

there will be some slight adjustments for the East division

[hasty wing]

Gotcha tyy!

[sullen berry]

Live Events in China, pending global health and safety monitoring
June Joust
Summer Showdown
Countdown Cup

this is exclusively for the teams physically in china, they'll have their own homestands during the knockout rounds

if the borders were freed up

I'd consider going to the countdown cup but there's no plans until they do

[hasty wing]

eee one more question, is the winner of the countdown cup considered the winner of the entire season?

[plush grail]

nope

we have these tournaments

but also a grand finals at the very end

i think

thats how it was last year at least

[ivory mason]

we have 4 tournaments

[hasty wing]

so there can technically be four winners?

[ivory mason]

and then an actual grandfinals

5

[hasty wing]

ah

[ivory mason]

4 tournament winner and 1 actual winner of the whole season

[plush grail]

four tournaments and 1 grand finals yeah

[hasty wing]

so when’s the 1 grand finals?

[plush grail]

there's not really a difference between any of them

[plush grail]

we don't know yet

[raw ermine]

way at the end of the year

[ivory mason]

its gonna be at the very end

[raw ermine]

season*

[ivory mason]

after all 4 tournamnets are done

[hasty wing]

Ohhh okay this is starting to make sense

[sullen berry]

but assuming it's going to be this year, keep an eye out in September

[ivory mason]

yea

[sullen berry]

aha you're welcome

[ivory mason]

unless they do the whole team to korea thing

then probably october

[sullen berry]

send them all to Australia

[ivory mason]

LOL

[sullen berry]

make them battle against the toughest opponents in the region

[ivory mason]

the weather?

[sullen berry]

if they lose, Australia takes home the OWL trophy and the actual teams get a shoe

weather should start to pick up around about sep

right now australia weather is smelly

[trail perch]

hero pools

[plush grail]

oh yeah that is a thin

but like

i'm pretty sure the june joust and grand finals will have the exact same brackets

[trail perch]

Im actually excited for them, because dallas stonks to the roof if opponents cant run hitscan, because thats the time they looked mortal

Theyll be like finals level for the whole next tournament

[plush grail]

when Pine joins dallas

they will be #1

for sure

[trail perch]

then instantly is useless

Because no cree bc hero pools

Isnt it the most played characters?

Dva, Cree, Tracer, Lucio

[plush grail]

idk

they only said hero pools

we don't know what exactly or how they are banning them

[trail perch]

I want them to ban winston, tracer , cree and brig

so the meta is double shield which sadly was one of my favorites

I want doom reaper double shield

I also want a major buff to doom so we have a genji meta again, but with doom

[plush grail]

ban every dps except for genji and tracer

imagine if they didn't just ban popular heroes

but only allowed heroes based on dive

[trail perch]

Only allow one comp per week

forced mirror

Dallas would be fucked if they where forced to play ashe cree widow

Doha Ashe was...

it existed

It certainly was a thing that happened

[plush grail]

but imagine the hype

if like

we get a dive only tournament, a double shield tournament

or goats

[trail perch]

That would be fun

GOATS

BRING IT BACK

[sullen berry]

I was going to say hero pools will make it worth watching, but structurally it's still the same style of tournament as mm

[plush grail]

it'd be a good change of pace

[trail perch]

Who would be the best GOATS team rn?

Washington?

Spark maybe

[plush grail]

shock

[trail perch]

Dallas

[plush grail]

maybe?

[trail perch]

Who plays zarya?

[sullen berry]

spark resurgence would be good but I don;t think their core is the same

[plush grail]

nero probably?

[trail perch]

and they lost their brig

[sullen berry]

Sp9rk1e can play zarya

[trail perch]

prob glister Zarya

[plush grail]

no

[sullen berry]

for shock I wouldn't be surprised if they throw in glister

[plush grail]

shock does not play glister

[sullen berry]

bring back haksal brig

[trail perch]

Oh yeah sry they would never do that

But prob dallas spark and washington

We get Seominsoo Zarya

Decay Zarya

[plush grail]

imagine signing a widow cree specialist only to never play him

[trail perch]

and Sp9rk1e Zarya

[sullen berry]

mirror zarya is up there, but I think everyone's been burned by gladiators so early on in the season

[trail perch]

They have SMS now

yeah then birdring brig??

that just was bad s

2

[plush grail]

glads will manage to fucking feed HARD during goats trust me

they have moth, space

will still go 0-4

[sullen berry]

again I'm not sure in spark's case sms is you answer to everything

ria and idk easily some of the best goats duos you will see that isn't zarya or rein

[trail perch]

They still have Guxue, LiGe, Bernar, SMS, architect, IDK, MCD

And they have 2 top 5 zaryas

With GodsB

I think Spark is def a top GOATS team

but washington is prob the best

[plush grail]

but like

goats is never happening

[trail perch]

Decay, Mag, Fury, Assassin, Closer, Bebe

[plush grail]

sadly

[trail perch]

2 good GOATS teams was the best shit to watch

2 bad ones was boring as hell

[sullen berry]

we can still force the term onto any team involving rein zarya and lucio these days

[trail perch]

We force the term on anything

[plush grail]

imagine the shitshow if owl suddenly forces a goats tournament lmaoo

[trail perch]

Remember Sombra reaper dive

The casters called it a goats like comp

[sullen berry]

technically you can play a version of sombra goats with one less tank or support

[trail perch]

Hack fist

[sullen berry]

i want dallas meta superiority to become a thing

[plush grail]

i wanna know when dallas is announcing pine

[sullen berry]

so that teams now start playing soldier76

[plush grail]

tbf soldier really worked well for dallas

if we get a real hitscan player on soldier

soldier might be viable

[sullen berry]

it's the most hitscan role they played all match

and the reason he's viable is specifically like chengdu they do what they need to make it work, right?

it's not because he's suddenly buff, and his tac visor usage is remarkable

like a mobile zoning ult

[plush grail]

i would love it if teams tried more off-meta stuff

it worked well for chengdu and dallas

[sullen berry]

well it looks like the orgs aren't winning with off-meta or are resistant to that

this just proves on paper the best teams will do their own thing and play by the current meta

[trail perch]

THATS WHY I LOVED GOATS

[sullen berry]

^

[trail perch]

BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS EXPERIMENTING

[sullen berry]

plus the rules of engagement were so simple

[trail perch]

We saw different rosters, different comps

Actual creativity

I think unironically during the GOATS era we saw the most diversity

Even in stage 1, the spark pulled out a nutty sombra tracer dive comp on a few maps

Chengdu and Dragons did their own thing

Houston was never scared of sombra comps

[sullen berry]

when arguing that 3-3 comps were just boring at the time, you were probably a hot mess and didn't enjoy solo queue ladder

the esports part of the meta was excellent

[trail perch]

I loved that time

I climbed to GM on Zrya

Zarya

[sullen berry]

even if there was a very small number of teams who were doing it right

[trail perch]

Yeah but towards the end, everyone just did their own thing

[sullen berry]

charge comps did their own thing for the most part

[plush grail]

what were the first role lock games like

[trail perch]

Bunker

Alot of orisa

Orisa Hog

Orisa Dva

[sullen berry]

any time Charge was playing goats hotba was more interested in playing anything but meta (pharah, hog, sombra)

they relegated kyb to a coaching role smh

[trail perch]

Hotba god s2

His Tracer>>>

His moira>>>>

His Pharah>>>>

His Dva<<<<<

[sullen berry]

I don't remember thotba on moira

[tawdry hamlet]

his looks>>>>>

[sullen berry]

but everything else

[tawdry hamlet]

[sullen berry]

his grace

his swagger

[trail perch]

s1 playoffs my b

When philly ran goats

[sullen berry]

oh we're going way back

philly running goats without hotba smh

that was a good match, you should rewatch it

[trail perch]

They ran hotba moira, Eqo zarya carpe brig

[tawdry hamlet]

I was swapping a keycap lmaoo

[sullen berry]

wish I could on this laptop

[plush grail]

i agree mr bbq

[sullen berry]

the backspace key on my laptop is pressed in for some reason, but it's not treating it like a keypress

[tawdry hamlet]

I bought degenerate keycaps and I 100 percent hold zero buyers remorse because now my keyboard has booba on backspace key

but anyway esports

s1 finals was an amazing time

I hope pine goes to Dallas

So the annoying glister rumours can go away

[tropic herald]

Well

He’s got like two realistic options

A team that needs a new hitscan and uses blue

Dallas and Charge

[noble nexus]

he should go to the shock so they can omega bench glister

[ivory mason]

LOL i saw someone say that on reddit, that glister should go to dallas and pine to shock

I would be much more confident in Seoul if profit didn’t get full time fdps

[little tusk]

Big boss pine

[plush grail]

Profit >>>>> teru

[little tusk]

Does pine even play

[plush grail]

He'd be a downgrade on every hero

[tropic herald]

He’s fine but also the team is a 50/50

And it stems from Gesture and Profit

[plush grail]

Pine is rumored to join a team

Presumably dallas

[little tusk]

I didnt know he still played ow

I would like pine highlights tho

[plush grail]

He was lft for a while

He still plays it quite a bit I think

[little tusk]

Hope he doesnt suck completely

[raw ermine]

rush could do magic

[plush grail]

Heard from some people that he was playing quite a bit on stream

Pine with proper coaching

Could end up being the next ans

[earnest leaf]

nah

glister will go to dallas

[next mesa]

Pine is still mechanically cracked, but is he smart

[earnest leaf]

Shock signs Pine

Pine becomes Ans 2.0

and fists the league for a season then dips

[plush grail]

No

Dallas gets pine

To make Dallas a cool team

[tropic herald]

Guangzhou Pine

With NoHill or Swingby

[plush grail]

Didn't charge have that one guy

Mykaylee

Wasn't he supposed to be some cracked aim god

[tropic herald]

His aim is 👍

His brain is

[plush grail]

So he's pine

[little tusk]

Pine is on 15 500 dpi as well

Nutcase

Mykaylee is p gud yeh

His widow wasnt bad

if nohill goes to charge

he will bring diya and haoyoqian

betttttttttt

[plush grail]

Diya to owl

Levy about to cry

[tawdry hamlet]

7500 edpi is what pine used, for reference haksal used around 21100 on his LOWER sense heroes like Hanzo and ans used 3600

Idk how people can comfortably play above 4000

They should play molly over leejaegon and see if they win the few fights where leejaegon got killed early and threw them

[tropic herald]

LHCloudy edpi challenge

[tawdry hamlet]

I wonder if a double flex support meta will happen anytime soon

Bro he's on 1600 16 dude is a fucking freak

Even geguri who was known for being a super high edpi person did 800 14.5

I don't even think it's for making sure he always has the shield and can swivel and shit at this point I think he just wants to have the highest edpi be can play with

He's a really good rein though

Okay so i have like this one really good ans headshot kill in my mind but i cant find it. He peaked like for a split second and instantly found a support iirc. I think it was havana too. So if anyone has crazy ans clips in the owl i would love to see them

[tawdry hamlet]

so besides bqb and sparkle does anyone else run soldier, last season I vaguely recall seeing him but it was mostly just bqb

just debating on which skin to get since I am back up to 200 tokens again

could get fuel soldier for da legs

[raw ermine]

xzi did as well

in that one meta

[sullen berry]

why are people high and confident on nohill also bringing haoyoqian

hold off until June joust, I bet it's going to be a sick horse skin

no disrespect to Dallas Fuel but its clear that that they are trying wayyyy too hard. "Overwatch" is supposed to be fun with friends but these EM Players r cracked out of their minds while Shanghai is having fun. they are ruining competitive integrity and should be banned 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[gusty rampart]

Congrats to Dallas Fuel

Won their first ever tournament

After what like 4 years

[barren quest]

3 years of pain for Dallas fans finally paid off

[gusty rampart]

And it probably will be another 3 years

[tawdry hamlet]

You never know

Theoretically Dallas if all their players weren't on ping and decay was happy with management they could have maybe won something

[next mesa]

Ehhh

With that tank line and backline?

[tawdry hamlet]

Maybe they coulda got lucky but in s3 now that I think about it the skill gap between the top 2 and the rest was so fat idk that very many besides like Florida or Paris with genji that ever actually stood a chance

Philly towards the end before playoffs looked so good

I had philly winning it all because I'm smooth brain

Then not running hog comps correctly happened

[little tusk]

I totally forgot colourhex was on a team

[tawdry hamlet]

who is benching him right now? Im37? tragic

both of them are absolute mid

but 37 is better

Colourhex and fusions have been on boston for 2 and a half years now

what is even funnier is the fact boston started tanking to the bottom like shortly after they got them

[tawdry hamlet]

This dude played zenyatta at a higher sense than haksal genji
https://liquipedia.net/overwatch/Yu_Zhengxing

and was the number 1 zen in china in ranked ladder season 1 lmao

[devout path]

It’s definitely not fusions fault at the beginning

Everything fell apart at like stage 3 season 2

[tawdry hamlet]

he was good in the beginning but like gator he has fallen off

he also has no hero besides rein and orisa whereas gator can at least flex, tbh even if stand1 is trash idk why they kept fusions

when is he ever going to play in a 16 game season where they don't have games they can mess around and play him in

wild

[devout path]

Idk of Boston do actually up their game I can see them playing fusions against titans on like a rush map

[tawdry hamlet]

maybe but I think stand1 actually has a rein

[devout path]

All depends on how good lori is tbh

If lori can fix this team and bring it to the level they should be at I could see it

But then again lori is so dedicated to winning I don’t see them giving any other players time without a good reason

[tawdry hamlet]

ooh I found it, way back in march 2020 stand1 played orisa the week monkey was banned lmao

I was trying to find games he played in last season \

in june it seems they ran fearless on orisa

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7wydHy7p90

[devout path]

Well I mean

Fearless is literally the best main tank in owl rn

[little tusk]

Agreed

[tawdry hamlet]

my next quest is to find apply playing a single game in s3

[little tusk]

who

[tawdry hamlet]

ok apparently for some reason he played brig in summer showdown last season despite being a flex dps backup for ksf lmao

https://liquipedia.net/overwatch/Apply

[plush grail]

why even both with a fdps when u have agilities and ksf

[tawdry hamlet]

idk, he was picked up with mcgravy from florida but then ksf shax ksp was way too cracked for him to ever start over them so he just sat there as an extra

well they didn't join at the same time but I assumed they wanted mcgravy synergy or something tbh why did they even have gig either lmao

[trail perch]

Check early echo

I remember he was their echo player in the very beginning

Like doing

Dding

[tawdry hamlet]

this was may they ran ksp echo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f94RYwqbBEc

now I found one from may where shax played echo

[noble nexus]

I do remember him playing echo at some point

[tawdry hamlet]

found it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqKYNYQbV6Y

so they reverse swept after subbing out his echo for ksp ashe

I think I only clicked time stamps

[plush grail]

besides maybe SBB

Yes I knew it was Dallas

Yes I didn’t share it fully because Pine’s return is a fan favourite.

Yes, Dallas tried incredibly hard to keep this one from getting out but I found out anyway

Twitter · May 10, 2021, 5:03 PM

[mortal abyss]

he wont be in for a few games but still holy shit

[ivory mason]

He probably wont play the next tournament

But after that one

Also after actually watching the final

All the maps were so close

[nova wadi]

pine
time

[ivory mason]

Like dallas barely won gibraltr and kings row

[raw ermine]

this the most absurd thing ever

[cursive plover]

Honestly I just hope pine is able to perform as well as he has in the past

And if he doesn't it's going to be fine too

[raw ermine]

rush can do something with him to make him good. I have faith

[ebon aurora]

serious question, do we think this is a good pickup - I haven't seen pine play since he was in OWL

so idk how good he is now

[nova wadi]

i dont think anyone knows except the people that trialed him

[ebon aurora]

if he gets back to S1 levels though, dear god Dallas are scary

[raw ermine]

and to think

xzi has account named "bigbossXzi"

[mental vine]

THE KING HAS FU CKING RETURNED

[digital cloud]

the fuck

[nova wadi]

off topic but thinking about pick ups i hope proper will make the league

[ebon aurora]

ok that is cute af

[digital cloud]

halo was right

[nova wadi]

ofc halo was right lol

[ebon aurora]

yeah proper is an absolute nut

[digital cloud]

surprising

[raw ermine]

want something cuter?

[mental vine]

ok so the prophecy is that Dallas will win the WHOLE SEASON

[digital cloud]

how the hell is pine even gonna keep up

[ebon aurora]

clearly they would've trialed him so I guess he can't be too bad

[mortal abyss]

last time i saw pine in pro play was when he got knocked out in open division before the round of 16 with xepher on his team

[nova wadi]

i imagine pine has been grinding OW secretly in the other seasons

[mental vine]

@nova wadi he is RECHARGING

[nova wadi]

he has recharged

[raw ermine]

he went LFT a while back

[ebon aurora]

in terms of hype though, Fuel couldn't have picked a more awesome player to pick up

[mortal abyss]

but this is still very cool, i really hope we get to see him play at his previous levels soon

yeah

[next mesa]

think pine as ans now

[digital cloud]

ans might have been more

hyped

[mortal abyss]

this is like fanservice in the dallas fuel anime

[mental vine]

AFTER 3 FU CKING SEASONS HE IS RECHARGED

[digital cloud]

but pine is close

[next mesa]

streamer that has cracked aim

[ebon aurora]

nah people have wanted Pine back forever

[next mesa]

his playstyle

probably trash

[ebon aurora]

not that many people knew Ans

[next mesa]

rush needs to coach

[nova wadi]

wasnt pine literally before ans

[mortal abyss]

fits right in

[digital cloud]

people hyped the fuck out of ans

[mental vine]

nah PINE is the LEGEND

his PERSONALITY and CHARISMA made OWL

[ebon aurora]

but yeah his playstyle is just fun

going for crazy stuff all the time

like that 4k widow play on junkertown

[digital cloud]

that won't work nowadays

[next mesa]

I mean xzi flank on rialto

[digital cloud]

sad to think he will have to reign it in to succeed

one offs happen

[next mesa]

seems like something pine would do

[digital cloud]

but this is pine, people know to expect that

[next mesa]

yeah pine doesnt do that all the time

[ebon aurora]

I'd imagine Rush will make him more conservative

[nova wadi]

i mean i feel like shanghai wouldve expected that shatter from behind too on blizz world..

[ebon aurora]

since Fuel have so many carry players already

that he doesn't necessarily need to pop off

[nova wadi]

it just happens

[ebon aurora]

but yeah I'm just hyped to see him back

he was a S1 highlight reel

[mental vine]

weve been waiting to have PINE back

[nova wadi]

Obligatory pine is marketable video :

[mortal abyss]

btw apparently they went with pine because they did open trials since no other team would trade their hitscan

[mortal abyss]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlsMpp-wEC4

[ebon aurora]

that feels a bit concerning ngl

[nova wadi]

I mean if shock doesnt start playing glister i wouldve wished they traded him away

[raw ermine]

they didn't want dallas to get stronger

[ebon aurora]

yeah given the choice I'd have gone with Glister if there was a chance of getting him

[mental vine]

well they JUST DID

[mortal abyss]

yup, but i trust rush and plus he's only filling the hole xzi left until xzi comes back

[nova wadi]

i mean theres no guarantee xzi will even come back

[ivory mason]

the major thing is

pine wont even get that much game time

unless its map where you absolutely have to play hitscan

[ebon aurora]

does Sparkle stay on Tracer?

[ivory mason]

they are gonna keep running doha and sparkle

[mental vine]

true but he might replace doha mb

[ebon aurora]

idk how good Pine's tracer is

[tight hill]

I check discord only to see pine blinding my eyes

[ebon aurora]

pure hitscan is obviously Pine

[raw ermine]

pine doesn't tracer

[ivory mason]

sparkle tracer is serviceable and if they need him for other heroes they will keep him in

[mortal abyss]

yes sparkle definetly stays on tracer

[raw ermine]

he's not tracking

[ivory mason]

pine does tracer

[mortal abyss]

pines tracer is um

[raw ermine]

sparkle is cracked anyways

[mortal abyss]

uhh

[ivory mason]

he just didnt play tracer because sbb was better

[nova wadi]

^

[ebon aurora]

yeah Sparkle's flexibility has staggered me this season

[ivory mason]

sparkle has really evolved

this season

[ebon aurora]

I always thought he was just good at doom and genji

[nova wadi]

sparkle got that anime arc

[ebon aurora]

but my god he's insane on so much stuff

[ivory mason]

last year he couldnt play anything except genji

[ebon aurora]

same with doha, I always thought he was mostly just good on sombra

[nova wadi]

also doha 🥺

[ivory mason]

now he is bringing soldier and confusing teams

doha genji switch

[ebon aurora]

but his echo and hanzo are nuts too

[ivory mason]

saved them on gibraltr

[ebon aurora]

yeah that was a genius swap

[hidden vault]

was is SHD and DF the top? when they have losses?

[ebon aurora]

3 points and 2 points for may melee

[limber pine]

bonues points

*bonus

[nova wadi]

that soldier pick on ilios from sfs was also nice

[ebon aurora]

Florida get 1

for coming 3rd

[ivory mason]

they got 3 and 2 points for winning and losing in the finals

[hidden vault]

hmm okay

[ebon aurora]

that's why winning for Fuel was so crucial

since they started 2-2

[next mesa]

sparkle stays on tracer

[ivory mason]

that genji swap was either gonna be like the nenne grav

[nova wadi]

it makes me so sad to see NYXL and spitfire so low in the rankings

[next mesa]

pine tracer is not great lol

[ivory mason]

either its a big brain play or mocked

thank god for him it was a big brain play

[ebon aurora]

it made sense

[nova wadi]

remember when they were actually good

[ebon aurora]

they needed to contest the high ground more

[ivory mason]

him killing izayaki

man

[ebon aurora]

and to be able to dive izayaki

[ivory mason]

even though i am okay with dallas winning

[worn falcon]

inb4 pine washed af

[ebon aurora]

is Doha now the best sombra itw

[ivory mason]

dragons losing hurt

[ebon aurora]

over Lip

[ivory mason]

currently yea

lip had a better tracer then sombra

i never thought i would say that coming into this season

[ebon aurora]

yeah Lip's tracer was a surprise

he destroyed Dallas with it in the first match

[ivory mason]

i wish they had played him more on tracer in finals

he did great when he played

[limber pine]

Lip's Sombra has been surprisingly disappointing

[ebon aurora]

he farms EMP so fast

but then the actual EMPs suck

compared to Doha who farms it slightly slower but gets so much more value

[plush grail]

his sombra is dissapointing and his tracer is looking great

also lip the 2 man emp specialist

[ebon aurora]

imo Hanbin is the most underrated player on Fuel

he hardly gets talked about but my god that tankline is cracked

[worn falcon]

the thing is...one month for pine in dallas

by that time meta can change

and bench pine again

[ebon aurora]

depends on hero pools

if mccree etc gets banned

dallas just keep running what they have been

and win

who can stop them in a sombra/winston meta

[mortal abyss]

tobi pine and jake all back in the league this year 🤩

[earnest leaf]

Rush will mold pine into a god

ah yes

paris to pine

[rugged schooner]

this is the problem

[karmic grotto]

no idea

i think they ggoing to have uissues

If Rush can coach Pine to greatness

oh boi

However

Pine plays from Korea?

[noble nexus]

I'd assume that's why he's gonna miss a few games

[cursive plover]

They'll probably try and get him over to the US??? And then he'll get to play

[karmic grotto]

Didn't he already had an US visa?

It might be expired, but he Fuel org can get him soon

dammed, I hope kevster can come to US

[trail perch]

He might be signed to shock bc nero ass

[gilded carbon]

How they gonna buff Dallas after they just won a tournament

Actually broken

[trail perch]

Legit dont think it will be a buff

hot take

[limber pine]

only if snipers become mandatory

[trail perch]

They will move over towards more meta comps and lose the dallas edge from playing unique stuff

[limber pine]

tbh this was a much flexible meta that we anticipated. if we hit a meta during hero pools that's much more restrictive, then DAL could suffer.

*more

[trail perch]

Yeah pine will prob help towards hero pools

[ivory mason]

true

[trail perch]

Bc if mei gets banned

Or symm

[ivory mason]

but i think thats why pine exist

i see tracer getting banned

if they ban the most played hero

[next mesa]

I wanted libero to shock

but no

nero

[ivory mason]

then tracer, winston , brig and mei

if winston gets banned thats a nerf for dallas

and justice are probably gonna suck ass

[trail perch]

Dallas can roll on rein

But ball and orisa are nonos

[limber pine]

I think most tanks got over the 10% threshold for hero pools though, so it's likely Winston won't get banned

[worn falcon]

mei took time to get banned

[sullen berry]

Nonono

[worn falcon]

and was because a fucking lottery lol

[limber pine]

and the only support under 10% is moira

[worn falcon]

i dunno why they want to bring hero pools again

since many coaches disliked that

and we dont have some strict meta as before
