[next mesa]

that was just in case the meta shifted drastically into a hard hitscan

[north relic]

when pine was picked up it made sense

its just that hitscan became shitscan and visa issues

[willow tartan]

lets gooooo

the only time im rooting for boston

[balmy wolf]

fusion

[willow tartan]

fusion is T1

theyre in korea contendier

[zealous venture]

i dont get it

how the fuck are redbird just dominating uprising with a dang junkrat

it feels so unrealistic

[willow tartan]

Skill difference

[zealous venture]

i dont get it do they lose iq when playing against them

[north relic]

are you telling me you never have been dominated by a junkrat?

[willow tartan]

Jakerat on Anubis dominated

[zealous venture]

not in a way like this

[north relic]

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

pretty cool

[zealous venture]

i swear top fucking god whats happening

[north relic]

yt reccomended randomly hits every month

[zealous venture]

uprising just look like theyre about to win then redbird gets 3 random kills

[willow tartan]

That's how the video game works

[zealous venture]

i cant fucking see anything it looks like theyre using hacks

but i know theyre not

[north relic]

do you get contenders skins for this

[willow tartan]

Yes

[zealous venture]

yes

mei and winston

[north relic]

can i do !drops and not get deleted

[willow tartan]

Yes

Not on the owl costream though

[zealous venture]

oh wait im stupid

[twin bloom]

Their were better HS's lft than pine

But whatever

[zealous venture]

redbird are playing dive thats why

but how did reiner just reappear

last round

[willow tartan]

Redbird on dive and UA on rush hmmm

[willow tartan]

After the season started?...

[zealous venture]

what the fuck are UA doing?

[willow tartan]

Pine was an emergency signing

[next mesa]

who in the middle of season

[zealous venture]

this looks more like OWL than actual owl

[twin bloom]

Godsb

Lmao

[next mesa]

Also im assuming that pine did good in trials beginning of season

[willow tartan]

Godsb left Hz after pine was signed

[next mesa]

so they just call him up

[zealous venture]

didnt pine have visa issues or something

also

didnt he join late in the season

[willow tartan]

No

[zealous venture]

iirc something made him unavailable until later than expected

i stg miami better pick these guys up

[willow tartan]

Visa issues

But he was already signed to the team before lol

[zealous venture]

yeah thats what i said

anyways

both UA and Redbird both have owl level players iirc

isnt reiner lft

or like

at least 3 of these ones

holy shit UA winning?

wow

[twin bloom]

Its one control round

Lol

[zealous venture]

ssshhhhhh

let me have this

[willow tartan]

If you mean OWL level as in bottom tier OWL level

[zealous venture]

yeah bottom level tier

like

above valiant roster tier

[twin bloom]

UV and reiner>>>>>>izyaki and fate

[willow tartan]

Better than valiant at least lol

[zealous venture]

lol

titans level

maybe?

[willow tartan]

Yeah

[twin bloom]

Way better than titans and london

Lol

[willow tartan]

Ehh not really

[twin bloom]

Boston level

[zealous venture]

a lot of them have potential though

[twin bloom]

At least

[willow tartan]

Not way better

[north relic]

isnt lukemino a flex support?

[twin bloom]

All these players rolled

The titabs

Players

In t2

[willow tartan]

yeah and they went map 5 with Hadi

[zealous venture]

hes lucio but from my pov he hasnt played that great

[tawdry hamlet]

Didn't redbirds literally help titans warm up for their only win lmaoo

[north relic]

yea but isnt he a flex support

weird hero pool

[zealous venture]

s9mm, hydron, reiner, stellar, finale, itsal

those feel like the really good ones

[twin bloom]

Good quality warm up gap

[zealous venture]

i dont really know how good the supports are

[willow tartan]

We will see how the Floridian tornado does in s5

[twin bloom]

I hope they do boston level

At least

[tawdry hamlet]

I have far more faith I redbirds than I did British hurricane tbh, like if you look at the last few months of 2020 everyone was getting closer to hurricane

I mean they almost lost to avoided lolll

[zealous venture]

british hurricane is stuck in eu hell

[willow tartan]

who hasn't almost lost to avoided

[zealous venture]

where teams like aww yeah can get top 4

[tiny pollen]

ppl dont know how to play against aww yeah

[zealous venture]

doesnt really matter everyone loses to falcons lol

uprising might not get swept this time

[willow tartan]

Contenders hopium

[zealous venture]

hurricane have declined from my pov

but eu is so dang weird

[willow tartan]

I have more faith in KR and CN contenders prospects

[tiny pollen]

^

[tawdry hamlet]

Well no shit lmao

[zealous venture]

au contenders

[tawdry hamlet]

But people shouldn't be sleeping on na contenders though 😤

[willow tartan]

no I'm saying if anyone in contenders doesn't do bad it's those players

but for all we know all of contenders are shitters

[zealous venture]

wow

[willow tartan]

ow2 new game so excited to see how that works out

[zealous venture]

UA win the map?

[twin bloom]

Pity map

L

[zealous venture]

surprised

but pleasantly so

[willow tartan]

They've made God bleed.

UA dub incoming 😎

[zealous venture]

this will b exciting

really good ults from UA

simple had 31k healing?

yeesh

[tawdry hamlet]

So is the reason British hurricane is able to be so dominant two years straight just a money gap or scouting or what, like how did they build another top 2 contenders roster so quickly after London took everyone

Since academy teams elsewhere don't seem to do as well gz academy moment

And up until like three months ago ua was bottom too

[willow tartan]

what about BLG lol

or team cc winning gauntlet last year

[tawdry hamlet]

Blg and gz academy were both bottom like most of last year, didn't mykayleee literally come from blg

[willow tartan]

yes but this year I mean

[tawdry hamlet]

And team cc is Shanghais academy team so I feel like their success is warranted regardless lmao

When we bringing back xqc in the gladiators legion tho

That's the question

[willow tartan]

I think the reason why hurricane was so dominant was because they had a solid roster of talented enough players with proper coaching and OWL-like structure

[tiny pollen]

nah

[willow tartan]

since most of EU contenders is like random orgs with no money

[tiny pollen]

it was simply a massive main tank difference

[tawdry hamlet]

[willow tartan]

whilst in KR you have like T1 GENG

[tawdry hamlet]

Hadi was too powerful

[tiny pollen]

hadi ( 🐐 )

[willow tartan]

like where's the big eu eSports orgs in contenders

[tawdry hamlet]

Hadi better go to titans to play with the other goat Dalton 😤

[willow tartan]

when is G2 getting an OWL team

[tiny pollen]

dalton 💀

[tawdry hamlet]

Hadi Frd Dalton Linkzr on the same team would be the biggest meme squad

[next mesa]

Holy shit

[tiny pollen]

omg that team would be amazing

[willow tartan]

Hadi frd Dalton linkzr ripa fire

[tiny pollen]

nah

bad sup line

[tawdry hamlet]

Hehe replace one bad eu flex with another bad eu flex support 💀

Imagine who is worse, Roolf or Ripa

Hmm

[tiny pollen]

u know who is a good main support and would fit well?

[next mesa]

They won a map

SHEEESH

[tiny pollen]

bumper (amengs bitch)

[tawdry hamlet]

Ttuba brig 😤

[willow tartan]

The only dub that Boston gets this year

[next mesa]

UV

[tawdry hamlet]

Vancouver Titans announce the signing of main support Closer

[tiny pollen]

im gonna be honest what is uprisings comp

[next mesa]

MS, transitioned to FS a bit before but bacm

[tiny pollen]

ok they swapped now

[tawdry hamlet]

He played flex support for a while because rackattack was really good at brig

[next mesa]

Yes

[tawdry hamlet]

The amount of players without a team this season is sadge

Contenders season I mean

[next mesa]

I had the impression that finale had a better Hanzo than victoria

[next mesa]

Yeah for some reason bobby wasabi didn't participate

Speedily, ojee

[twin bloom]

Because ojee leaving for better oppurtunities

[next mesa]

Oh shit where

Owl?

[twin bloom]

Thats what the tweet said

Lol

Goodbye tweet

[next mesa]

Oh yeah

That's true

I totally forgot about that

[tiny pollen]

oge vs ojee

[willow tartan]

What am I witnessing

Korea diff

[twin bloom]

The same thing as yesterday

UA can contest redbirds

But redbirds just better

[tropic herald]

Looks like today is better than yesterday

[willow tartan]

They won like 5 straight fights

snowball moment

Im starting to believe

[twin bloom]

Drawable

[willow tartan]

Winnable

They just need to win 5 more straight fights

...

without losing anyone

[tawdry hamlet]

[willow tartan]

Fuller hold 💪

[tropic herald]

Team with symm alive longer wins Pog

[willow tartan]

That's how rush works

[tropic herald]

Yeah

It was over very fast

[willow tartan]

I want ua to win because very funny Korea team win america contender 😎

[mortal cipher]

lol

thats half the na teams are basically korean team with na name

[willow tartan]

yes so contenders should be the same

[north relic]

why is he called ua btw

isnt he ultraviolet

[twin bloom]

Fusion uni were essentially all KR

[north relic]

wouldnt it be uv

[twin bloom]

ATL academy better tho

And they all NA

[tropic herald]

UA is Uprising Academy

[willow tartan]

uprising academy

[willow tartan]

Fusion Uni played in Korean contenders...

[twin bloom]

They played 2 seasons in NA with 4 KR starters

And won

[willow tartan]

they won?

[twin bloom]

Yeah they won both seasons they played in NA

With a full KR roster

[willow tartan]

Korea diff

[twin bloom]

They had carcar for MS and snillo for flex dps tho

[tropic herald]

Alarm diff

[north relic]

ok i have lost braincells

[willow tartan]

ballskaya time

[north relic]

@willow tartan were you ever serious about the minewatch server

[tropic herald]

God Moira comps are boring thank you redbird for getting off them

[tropic herald]

#general-discussion

[north relic]

it has overwatch in it sadge

[forest raven]

Now only super, carpe, and eqo are left as true OG's

[willow tartan]

poko:

pog one clip wtf

[earnest leaf]

isn't eqo a free agent now?

Well I suppose poko/eqo aren't officially gone from fusion

they're in the same scenario as glister/smurf/twilight

[north relic]

is qoq a sigma one trick

[tropic herald]

No lol

Eqo n Poko are FAs but I think it’s for real

[twin bloom]

No he's a dva one trick

[devout path]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/233904315247362048/853495449558319124/hybrid_god_at_the_game-1-1.gif

[forest raven]

God they did Hybrid so dirty with that clip

[tropic herald]

I’m tempted to go through owl replays and do random players dirty

[north relic]

i feel like it isnt even bad hybrid aim its just god heesu strafing

[barren quest]

No regs bro

[willow tartan]

[tawdry hamlet]

Carcar da goat

Hybrid could have right clicked tho

Since Heesu was stunned loll

[novel owl]

whoa i just realized jjonak departed

[tawdry hamlet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/q43t4y/immortality_field_negates_huge_combo_smc_vs/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Good ability 🙏

Idk people are arguing that rein shield or Ana sleep can stop 2 ults like nothing so the field doesn't even matter

But an e that insta counters two ults feels so different than rein shield or sleep to me

As far as skill goes

[tiny pollen]

i love immortality :D

[north relic]

the other two have counterplay i feel like

[tawdry hamlet]

Like sleep sure hitting the sleep is hard so that's fair

[north relic]

also dm and shield

[tawdry hamlet]

Shield I mean I guess if you look the wrong way or it gets melted idk

As far as rein blocking ults goes lmao

But the other is just e

[north relic]

shield you can easily just focus it

lamp can go around corners and shit

[tiny pollen]

i think lamp is a necesary evil though

[tawdry hamlet]

As much as I dislike lamp I also still want it in game lmao

jonak to justice

[tawdry hamlet]

Also lamp can be eaten right?

[tiny pollen]

no

[gusty rampart]

No

[tawdry hamlet]

Lolol

Good ability 🙏

Idk why it isn't eatable like mei ult or grav

[tiny pollen]

its a buildable

[tawdry hamlet]

But oh well

[gusty rampart]

JJoNak to Seoul

[tiny pollen]

like torb turret and sym

[gusty rampart]

And he can still go to NYXL

[tiny pollen]

twilight and smurf to seoul kek

[tawdry hamlet]

Seoul refuses to have a real tankline ever sorry

[tiny pollen]

lmao

[tawdry hamlet]

That gesture marve1 thing was wildddd then the toyou gesture era 😤

Essentially just replace gesture already profit was the far better value player lmao

When they picked both of them up for fat money

[earnest leaf]

jjonak to justice

[willow tartan]

Wait is there no gauntlet this year?

[novel owl]

i think its gonna be too hard to balance lamp without rebalancing bap as a whole

[tiny pollen]

you would have to rebalance whole game imo

[willow tartan]

nah nah gesture solo hog tank gonna be fire

[novel owl]

theyll probably balance lamp in ow2 since its 5v5

[mortal cipher]

jjonak to dallas

[tiny pollen]

nah

[stuck radish]

is it though

[tiny pollen]

yea

imo there is to much damage in the game for slower comps

[earnest leaf]

as of right now I can see that

[stuck radish]

thats a damage problem though

the damage in the game is stupidly high rn

[tiny pollen]

yeah

[earnest leaf]

Considering tanks can die in literally half a second

[stuck radish]

and with that

[tiny pollen]

thats why lamp is a necesary evil

[stuck radish]

the healing is also stupidly high

lamp is just unhealthy for the game all around

[willow tartan]

doesnt matter how high your healing is if you get bursted

thats why lamp exists

[tiny pollen]

^

[stuck radish]

somewhat fix a problem by adding another problem

pog

[earnest leaf]

Basically

blizz bad at balancing

[tiny pollen]

yeah

[willow tartan]

people say bliz bad balance but then never offer a solution to perfect the game smh

[tiny pollen]

i dont think that overwatch can be balanced

[willow tartan]

yes

ow too hard to balance thats why we're going to 5v5

[stuck radish]

lower spam damage and lower aoe healing

game is already better

[earnest leaf]

I would be so good at balancing this game

[tiny pollen]

perma dive meta

[willow tartan]

go be a blizzard dev then 4head

they are hiring

[earnest leaf]

I don't think they want to hire an 18 year old without any experience

[stuck radish]

at least the game would be in a better state

[willow tartan]

just say youre good at balancing

[tiny pollen]

true lol

they should have coaches decide balance during off season

[willow tartan]

thats literally inventing politics in esports

[earnest leaf]

that would be terrible

coaches would balance around their players

[willow tartan]

coaches form lobbying groups to vy for the meta that best helps their team

[earnest leaf]

or try to a bit

[willow tartan]

literally politics

[tiny pollen]

thatd be funny

[willow tartan]

almost as bad as letting pros balance the game

[earnest leaf]

Just have Moon perma buffing sombra

[willow tartan]

shock/atlanta/justice voting bloc to make rein rush op

[tiny pollen]

chinese alliance to buff ball

[willow tartan]

chinese united front to make perma dive

[novel owl]

perma dive is fun to watch

[tawdry hamlet]

JJonak to justice would be so much better than bebe just by existing, though knowing them they'll sign someone like mcd kek

Bet they sign the most mid support line ever for a second year

Justice announce the signing of slime and MCD 💀

Or slime and lastro lmao

I could see them go for myunbong but if they are smart they'd offer fat stacks to gnj

[stuck radish]

shanghai should be forced to give up 2 of their starting lineup players so that s5 wont be shanghai simulator again

[earnest leaf]

eh

They can't be at the peak forever

they already lost two coaches

[tropic herald]

I guess at least with MCD you get a sick Ana

[north relic]

jjonak nasty ana

[next mesa]

so good ana

come to soeul

seoul

[stuck radish]

alright

you can have Bebe

[willow tartan]

mcd is good what are you on abt

way better upgrade over bebe

[devout path]

Except ya know

The xenophobia

[willow tartan]

yeah but justice is an all korean team

so i dont think theyd run into any issue

[novel owl]

it was mcd that was being racist ?

[devout path]

That doesn’t fix the fact that he’s xenophobic???

[willow tartan]

that has nothing to do with what im talking about

im saying he would be an upgrade on the justice support line

[devout path]

Be like oh this guy is homophobic but we don’t have any lgbtq players so we should be good

[willow tartan]

???

[tiny pollen]

mcd becomes extra xenophobic and gets banned so pre has to take over flex support

[novel owl]

i mean he is an upgrade yes since hes a good support, but i doubt that theyll hire him again

[devout path]

He should t be a consideration at all because of what he has done

[willow tartan]

never said he was in consideration lol

man is blacklisted from OWL probs

[novel owl]

yea

[devout path]

Then why talk about him

[tiny pollen]

he dif is

def

[novel owl]

he should be

[devout path]

Forget about him and move on

[willow tartan]

just that micheal said that picking up mcd would be a mid tier support

and im telling him that its wrong

[tiny pollen]

china is largest market and you cant risk that

[willow tartan]

because i disagree that mcd would make a mid support line

[novel owl]

id say hes one of the good tier supp

[willow tartan]

yea exactly

[novel owl]

too bad he wasted it

[twin bloom]

You'd be suprised how many KR players have said the same things as MCD but haven't gotten punished because their not on chinese teams lol

[tiny pollen]

but was it on stream to a chengdu player lol

[twin bloom]

If MCD was on seoul or fusion

He'd still be in OWL

[novel owl]

was it because they werent speaking eng

[twin bloom]

Nah. Just haven't been exposed

[novel owl]

ahh i see

[twin bloom]

Viol2t did I think

[novel owl]

i thought its because ppl dont understand korean

[twin bloom]

But it was a while ago

[earnest leaf]

Most people have probably said something that isn't publicly acceptable at a certain point

in owl

[novel owl]

yea

[earnest leaf]

well honestly

most people in general have

[novel owl]

agree

but some ppl are stupid enough to say it in public when ppl are watching them

[willow tartan]

yes

dont say it on stream dumb dumb

owl player so stuupid

all their brain cell go to playing game

[tawdry hamlet]

yeah that is the bigger issue, if you said a slur in private like 3 years ago yeah it sucks but whatever but if you can't contain yourself on a platform with lots of viewers such as on stream

that is the bigger issue

not that I advocate it regardless but ya know

since I would be lying if I said that in my past I have never said something fucked up so holding others to that standard is unfair, just like don't do that shit on stream or at all if possible lmao

[novel owl]

yeah it be like that for famous people

unless some media dig deep enough

[tawdry hamlet]

GodsB and qoq I hope get another chance in the league spark wasted them

I mean tbf shy is miles above godsb so it makes sense he wouldn't get play time this year and wanted to leave but he's not bad at all

[next mesa]

True

I think godsb is kinda mid

[tawdry hamlet]

Who are the mid hitscans tbh I can't think of a hitscan in the middle they're mostly either bad or good besides a few

I guess people like tarocookie

[nova leaf]

do you have any idea how little that makes sense?

[tawdry hamlet]

Well they're either bottom of the barrel like Logix or top of the class like carpe there's like not a whole lot of middle hitscans

[gusty rampart]

Dalton

[nova leaf]

you literally just said you can't think of any average hitscan and then finish your message off with "besides a few"

[tawdry hamlet]

Nah he's bottom lmao

[gusty rampart]

Nah top

[tawdry hamlet]

True

The goat

DaltonSzn account incoming

💀

[gusty rampart]

Ratio

[tawdry hamlet]

So who is a mid hitscan? Happy comes to mind heh

Jerry I guess

[gusty rampart]

Flora

Glister

[tawdry hamlet]

Hmm yeah that's fair

Also the comments of Jerry's Boston farewell video lolll

In my head Canon that single comment is why Washington signed Jerry 😤

[gusty rampart]

Oh and im37

[tawdry hamlet]

Eh tbh I put im37 below mid

[gusty rampart]

I think he did good on a decent amount of matches

His Cree is good

[next mesa]

Bqb

[gusty rampart]

Nahhhhh

At least above mid

[forest raven]

Bqb isn't better than glister

Anyway

And yeah bqb is better than glister imo 🙏

Only difference is glister has a better Sombra and tracer but bqb is better at everyone else imo

[gusty rampart]

Ashe yes

Widow yes

McCree probably

[tawdry hamlet]

And I say that as someone who likes glister too I think bqb is just better on flick heroes

[gusty rampart]

BQB has a lot of talent

[willow tartan]

is

he's not retired

[gusty rampart]

BQB and Yaki was probably my favorite DPS lineup in 2021

[tawdry hamlet]

Aspire Heesu 🙏

Dalton Linkzr 💀💀💀

[gusty rampart]

Dalton just carried the League

He was the DPS lineup

He IS the DPS of the OWL

Dallas rolling shock on dorado but shock rolled dallas on havana

Shock usually gets dominant wins on Havana or Fatal losses on Havana

DAFAQ

[noble nexus]

🐢

this shit dumb asf tbh

I mean losing fd and ta1yo is reasonable

and twilight probably wanted to leave

[plush light]

It's OK, viol2t just got ahold of the Twitter and is trolling us (or so I would like to think)

[last nimbus]

i get fdgod taiyo and nero

[north relic]

no

what happened to taiyo man

[last nimbus]

but why twilight ans and smurf man

[north relic]

man

[noble nexus]

nero was easily the most consistent shock player all season

[last nimbus]

neros likely not going to play anyways

[north relic]

so who is left

for shock

[noble nexus]

choi super viol2t

[last nimbus]

so its understandable he left the team lol

[gusty rampart]

I'm tired of breathing

[next mesa]

guys

guys

Ans to Dallas

[plush light]

Plz be a viol2t troll

[noble nexus]

Ans to Dallas would be insane tbh

[last nimbus]

i dont think this is a troll

[next mesa]

GUYS GUYS ANS TO DALLAS ANS TO DALLAS

[turbid cargo]

HOLY SHIT

[last nimbus]

ans better than pine anyways

[plush light]

I WANT TO SEE PINE PLAY THOUGH

[noble nexus]

if that's the case it's probably the biggest pickup this offseason imo

Pine isn't even signed to dallas anymore lol

[tired furnace]

What this is REAL?

[balmy wolf]

shock????

[bronze scroll]

seems like it

[balmy wolf]

shock????

[plush light]

Pine is literally the reason I started playing overwatch, it's so sad that he didn't play.

[last nimbus]

i would fucking eat my shoes if pine played in playoffs

[bronze scroll]

seems like shock is going with the lets just drop almost our entire team strategy

[last nimbus]

he was a month or something back with his team

[plush light]

Is super gone?

Smurf to Houston?

[noble nexus]

super isn't gone rn

[fallen turret]

Super, Choi, violet remain for now

[trail perch]

signings are allowed to start now right?

Today is the first day for signing

right?

[last nimbus]

tbh some of them will be added back to the roster

[trail perch]

they are keeping the OG s2 shock tho

[last nimbus]

i believe

[trail perch]

Super viol2t choi

[noble nexus]

smurf to glads best case scenario for me rn

[next mesa]

Ans to dallas

[trail perch]

likely

[plush light]

The shock lost moth and lost the W

[trail perch]

Glister and Smurf to glads

[noble nexus]

yeah I think so too

[trail perch]

Imagine that

[last nimbus]

smurf to glads would be epic

[trail perch]

And glister

[bronze scroll]

who remain?

[trail perch]

cause birdring gone

[last nimbus]

that would make glads so fucking good

[noble nexus]

yeahh

[plush light]

Who will sign BQB?

[noble nexus]

shock

:)

[plush light]

And gnj

[balmy wolf]

shock mid team

[noble nexus]

old news

shock is cock

[plush light]

My Florida mayhem boys

[last nimbus]

just realized glister isnt even in the poster

lol disrespect

[gusty rampart]

Why

I would've left out Ta1yo to add him

[last nimbus]

prob didnt fit XD

[plush light]

Glister carry to big

[last nimbus]

im laughing so fucking hard shock just released smurf and ans loooooooool

[gusty rampart]

It was sorta obvious Smurf was gonna leave

[next mesa]

wait is glister still on the team

[last nimbus]

I dont believe ans will go to another team

[next mesa]

wait what

[gusty rampart]

No

[next mesa]

glister isnt even in the team

the poster

the fuck

[last nimbus]

I believe hes going to get signed back to shock

[next mesa]

wtf is going on

[last nimbus]

Yep epic disrespect

[bronze scroll]

that might be why they forgot him. If they are planning on re-signing him

[north relic]

today is the day isnt it?

[balmy wolf]

Shock will pull a Vancouver

[north relic]

so only the originals are still on shock

choi super violet

[last nimbus]

i honestly just think he didnt fit on the picture

[bronze scroll]

then make everybody smaller

dont leave one person out

thats just straight up wrong

[trail perch]

Glister Smurf to glads pls

Make it happen

[stuck radish]

smurf noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[noble nexus]

glister smurf to glads and I'll fucking coom

[tacit skiff]

what the fuck

I expected Smurf

but almost everyone???

[shadow dagger]

pls owl gods

[vagrant cargo]

i dont think glistrr will be able to reach his potential under dpei sadly

i hope he goes to a team w cracked coaching

[tacit skiff]

it's just Choi and Super left right?

[tired furnace]

[shadow dagger]

yes

[north relic]

Violet

[tacit skiff]

right

[vagrant cargo]

viol2t da goat

[balmy wolf]

For some reason whatever the roster i don't think that shock will win next years Grand finals. It will a lot of time to build that synergy.

[shadow dagger]

oh yeah and viol2t

[north relic]

Glister to shd gets benched all season and retires

[tacit skiff]

if I were Super, I'd get signed as a cc

[vagrant cargo]

i hope glister fucks next season

[tacit skiff]

I never thought I'd see the day where the Shock were left with three shock fam players

Ans came back and for what lmao

[stuck radish]

ans prob going back to valorant

[north relic]

iirc these are the three that were here since s1

[north relic]

Didn’t he have a fa post

[tacit skiff]

ans said he was fa

[stuck radish]

nvm then

[tacit skiff]

I mean he could go back to Valorant if he wanted to

if he doesn't like an ow offers

wonder what Crusty is thinking

[north relic]

Mmmmmm potato

[raw ermine]

what the fuck

[fallen turret]

Yup

[tacit skiff]

he's got a point

[worn falcon]

Shock

Wtf

I'm shocked now

They keep super?

[north relic]

Honestly all of them had fa posts before this

[raw ermine]

Super will have his own retirement post I bet

[tacit skiff]

super and choi

[north relic]

We shouldn’t be that shocked

[tacit skiff]

and viol2t

flex support fa go brrrrrr

myunbong to td

[worn falcon]

Keeping the feeder

[tacit skiff]

astro to justice

[worn falcon]

Jjonak to shock then

[worldly flax]

ans to dallas fuel?

[north relic]

Can’t have support rotation problems if you have one support

[tacit skiff]

10/10 chance jjonak chooses another apac team

I think he enjoys full Korean rosters

[north relic]

Many na teams are full korean

[tacit skiff]

some are

but none of them really compare to apac

[north relic]

Wdym

[tacit skiff]

unless he goes to Dallas or Shock, I don't see him going NA

I think Jjonak on Chengdu or Spark would be nice tbh

[sullen berry]

the power of six shock players for one sick dps

[worldly flax]

https://twitter.com/fuckitseominsoo/status/1446898324632739849 lmaooo

ta1yo really has more playtime in Overwatch 2 than the OWL 2021 season 😭😭😭

Twitter · Oct 9, 2021, 6:00 PM

the timing

[shadow dagger]

😭

[north relic]

Has dink said anything

[tacit skiff]

Dink in shambles

[north relic]

Just checked, he is me yesterday

[tacit skiff]

poor FD

hope Lucio gets good in ow2

[worldly flax]

smurf streaming rn

[north relic]

according to moth beat takes 17 hours to build

[vagrant cargo]

i dont get how FDGod flopped so hard

[tacit skiff]

statically, beat takes the longest

[vagrant cargo]

his brig was insane on paris

[tacit skiff]

it just stacks per teammate

[vagrant cargo]

and his mercy was shit yeah but i thought crusty could fix that

[north relic]

smurf gotta fix his description

[tacit skiff]

crusty can't fix everything

[worldly flax]

too soon man

[tacit skiff]

legend has it they all left after experiencing ow2

so weird they chose to upload the Jecse pov after he got dropped

[leaden condor]

What just happend to shock…

[tacit skiff]

they dropped everyone but Super, Choi and Viol2t

just gonna keep that copied cause more shock fans are gonna be asking that in the future

[leaden condor]

Yeah but I’m surprised on some of them

Surely they sign some back

[tacit skiff]

they wouldn't have done if they wanted to

[worn falcon]

Striker to Uprising then

[leaden condor]

Nah they might just be letting them explore options then come back

[tacit skiff]

like the good old days

[leaden condor]

A lot of teams do that

No smurf tho that’s sad

[tacit skiff]

I'm sorry

your copium is getting to you

it's better to let them go

[weak bolt]

Shock cleared house, wow

[leaden condor]

The other 4 tho I think should of gone

3*

[worn falcon]

Nero and Smurf i was expecting

[leaden condor]

Ans smurf should stay

[north relic]

goodbye~

[worn falcon]

I didn't expect to drop twilight

[north relic]

?

[weak bolt]

Have to assume Nero retired, and Twilight wanted playtime elsewhere

[tacit skiff]

the end of the shock for good, letsgooooo

[north relic]

you didnt see the fa post

[worn falcon]

Free agent

[north relic]

super choi viol2t is still a good core

[leaden condor]

Twilight will defo get picked up again

[worn falcon]

Not like they free free

Just checking offers

[sullen berry]

https://fxtwitter.com/BadPachimari/status/1446903632545341446?s=20

[leaden condor]

I was expecting them to do smurf instead of super tho

[tacit skiff]

super is a good mt, he's worth keeping over Smurf

[worn falcon]

Then the post came and twilight dropped

[leaden condor]

And go down the Asian route

[tacit skiff]

make Choi learn ball

[north relic]

never misses

[leaden condor]

I feel like Choi is gonna get 0 game time in OW 2 with super being able to flex pretty well

[weak bolt]

Give me Smurf to LAG though, that's the move I want to see

[leaden condor]

Good replacement for muze

[tacit skiff]

WHY ARE RALLY SHIELDS GREEN IN OW2

[worldly flax]

[worn falcon]

Smurf to Toronto

Ez

[tacit skiff]

Smurf to glads

[leaden condor]

I hope not

[worldly flax]

smurf to mayhems

[tacit skiff]

myunbong to Toronto :)

[weak bolt]

Think they said they changed how overshield HP works to be a different colour. Space/Super mentioned it on PlatChat

[leaden condor]

I wonder who the shock will pick up as the replacements

[barren quest]

Temporary shields and armor are replaced with overheal

[weak bolt]

thank you @SFShock for the opportunity this season i appreciate it so much. i’ll miss you guys and only wish the best for the players and staff. im gonna keep playing fk coaching.. see u guys next season :) https://t.co/p9m6WLBd0U

Twitter · Oct 9, 2021, 6:39 PM

There goes my theory on Nero retiring

[tacit skiff]

Nero coaching

respectable

[worldly flax]

what

dude's gonna keep playing

[weak bolt]

He says the opposite, fk coaching, carry on playing

[worldly flax]

[sullen berry]

Im gonna keep playing fk coaching

[tacit skiff]

ik

that's literally

okay

nvm

[sullen berry]

yeah your words lost us

[weak bolt]

Question is, are Shock going to spend big this year and go for Championship #3

[tacit skiff]

no

[weak bolt]

FunnyAstro to Shock? He's in FA right now...

[worldly flax]

wait how many dps does shock have left

[tacit skiff]

0

[weak bolt]

0 dps left

[worldly flax]

???? bruh?

[tacit skiff]

I mean Striker is in the market ig

[leaden condor]

None

[weak bolt]

I'm surprised ANS is gone

[sullen berry]

@barren quest oh yeah I was looking through some old regular season vod reviews and found this, you might like it https://www.twitch.tv/spilo/clip/LaconicInexpensiveSoymilkWow-KFrCqz2cOVSv-AGL

[weak bolt]

I figured they'd keep him around

[leaden condor]

Two tanks and a healer

[weak bolt]

https://twitter.com/ow_nero/status/1446909078534443010

nero (@ow_nero)

i was debating retiring but i got an opportunity i didn’t wanna pass up. you guys will see soon

Twitter · Oct 9, 2021, 6:43 PM

[worldly flax]

nero to outluls?

[weak bolt]

LAG would be my bet

Now Mirror/Birdring gone

[worldly flax]

ooh that would make sense

[sullen berry]

LA Valiant rebuild

[barren quest]

Blase hitscan moment

[leaden condor]

I feel like LAG are gonna be shock 2.0

[weak bolt]

Feels like this off season just got wild

[leaden condor]

Smurf and Nero go there

[sullen berry]

be honest, who was he really aiming for?

[balmy wolf]

That will be good motivation for SPACE.

[weak bolt]

Smurf/Nero/Moth/Kevster/Shu sounds a pretty good lineup to me

With Space/Skewed as backups

[leaden condor]

I honestly could see LAG using space as the starting tank

Since he can flex decently well

[barren quest]

Attempted to dynamite the opposite high ground but aimed too high so it just hits the ceiling

[worldly flax]

still hoping to see a 'sike' kind of tweet from sfshock tomorrow and they'll re-sign the players again

totally not copium

[barren quest]

But Blase Hitscan is never going to match the true gods among hitscans

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/233904315247362048/878755294015025162/image0.gif

[hot onyx]

Yeah but he hasn’t been released by Fusion and he’ll probably go back because of his synergy with Alarm

[weak bolt]

If it were a bait they'd have put Super in

[tacit skiff]

watching the Jecse pov for ow2 and saw him try to Stun super as ball 😭

on brig

rip brig

[weak cypress]

did shock drop their entire roster or something?

[tacit skiff]

yes

[weak bolt]

Agreed its most likely, but depends on what Philly's plans are next season and visa issues again maybe

[barren quest]

Super, Choi and Viol2t are still in the team currently

[worldly flax]

@weak cypress

[tawdry hamlet]

Smurf Choi and violet all by themselves like 😭😭

Super not Smurf kek

I can't even get my own brain around Smurf not on shock 😭😭

[devout path]

tomorrow

im soe xcited for tomorrow

crazy day

[tawdry hamlet]

Smurf Nero moth Kevster ans skewed shu team 😈

LAG ez

[devout path]

oh god

[weak cypress]

whats gonna happen?

[devout path]

teams are allowed to sign fa's

[weak bolt]

Still expecting a lot more farewell posts today too

[worldly flax]

I hope striker comes back to shock

[tawdry hamlet]

Striker to LAG hehe

Moth reunion

[worldly flax]

a lot of them are posting...then there's ta1yo with the "unemployed" tweet lol

[sullen berry]

A reminder was all I need

[weak bolt]

I hope Shock sign BQB/Yaki honestly

Add in Striker

[sullen berry]

All players unrenewed contracts are now sent to Free Agency

[mortal abyss]

Nero —> Houston?

[sullen berry]

Nero to LAG is more likely

[weak bolt]

Nero and Danteh have too similar hero pools imo

[mortal abyss]

I don’t think so

[sullen berry]

here's my take

LAV

[worldly flax]

lol

[sullen berry]

full rebuild, never again do they want to have a chinese org set up a chinese team

[weak bolt]

Unless someone totally new has bought out LAV, I don't see many people taking a chance joining them

[mortal abyss]

Tbh Houston’s on eof problem this season has been that danteh is the best tracer/sombra AND the best echo, so nero would fit perfectly

[weak bolt]

They've been a shitshow of an org for a few years, it'd be like joining Titans lol

[north relic]

smurf to houston makes a lot of sense to me

[twin bloom]

You can run Nero and danteh together for echo tracer and sombra tracer

[north relic]

0 people are interested

[twin bloom]

Instead of forcing happy

On heros he's not good on

[mortal abyss]

This basically

[weak bolt]

You could do, but its a lot of overlap for hoping on 1 or 2 meta

[vagrant cargo]

what does nero add

[weak bolt]

Wonder if Mayhem are building an NA superteam and that's Nero's target

[twin bloom]

Kevster HS nero projectile

[vagrant cargo]

kevster is better on every hero except mei

[twin bloom]

Their not

[vagrant cargo]

and if u go for a pure projectile player id rather go for choisewhan

or yaki

[twin bloom]

Mayhem are not going to be good next year

They aren't signing most of AT

Just a rumor

[weak bolt]

Only rumours i saw on Mayhem was ditching korean to go NA, and hoping to get AT. If the AT stuff isn't working out, there are a bunch of NA talent opening up

[abstract nova]

Why is alll of shock gone

wtf

[weak bolt]

Or atleast NA/EU

[tawdry hamlet]

Nothing besides double flex metas or something like mirror lmao

[vagrant cargo]

ayo hear me out

MuZe Yaki Shock

[twin bloom]

Is super a streamer for shock

Or a player

[vagrant cargo]

MuZe compliments super perfectly and can swap to a rlly good rein if needed

unlike smurf whos rein was eeeeeh

and i think yaki just wipes nero

[twin bloom]

It doesn't make sense to have 3 tank players for OW 2

[worldly flax]

checked liquipedia and this feels like it's photoshopped

[twin bloom]

Honestly

[vagrant cargo]

yeah true

i forgot

5v5

[weak bolt]

FS market this year is weird. Twilight, Gangnamjim, Myunbong, Jjonak all on the market

[abstract nova]

o_o

why

[tawdry hamlet]

Lastro for Vancouver 😤😈

[weak bolt]

Lastro/Kariv also in the FS market

[tawdry hamlet]

Kariv

[twin bloom]

Kariv

Lol

Washed

Playah

Kr roolf

Tbh

Provide better LA valiant FS than Kariv

[weak bolt]

Meanwhile main support is Jecse, Slime, Joobi, FDgod, Closer, Tobi

[tawdry hamlet]

Tobi 😭

[tawdry hamlet]

You left out the free agent flex support goats mcd and bebe sheesh 😤🙄

[stuck radish]

i wonder how fast fleta and lip would get offers if they went fa

[weak bolt]

I suspect we're in for quite a few more goodbye posts today. I think there is going to be quite a few more player shuffles about

[twin bloom]

Joobi best one no cap

[umbral bay]

WHAT JUST HAPPENED WITH THE SHOCK

They have 3 people

[north relic]

if they went fa i think shd would be the best team for them since they already have some synergy and they would be missing a fdps and hitscan

[umbral bay]

Literally 3

[abstract nova]

yes ._.

man

what

[north relic]

thats like better than 50% of teams yk

a lot of teams have 1-2 players

[abstract nova]

which ones, london and what other teams

[north relic]

defiant,mayhem,nyxl

[umbral bay]

Sfs now

[umbral bay]

XL only dropped 2 people no?

[barren quest]

NYXL only has Flora rn

[umbral bay]

Wait what

Oh

[abstract nova]

oh ye, forgot

[umbral bay]

This shit doesn’t happen at the end of every season does it?

To this degree?

[abstract nova]

don't think so

[umbral bay]

Maybe because ow2, but that would only really be tanks.

[mortal abyss]

Nah, but with OW2 and a lot of players retiring teams are inclined to drop more players then they usually would

[neat tundra]

no but this is the biggest change since no one actual knows what will be good in OW2

[umbral bay]

But why drop jjonak? Or ans? They’re great players who helped carry the teams. Jjonak was the best player for the nyxl

[abstract nova]

Titans dropped no one yet?

idk

[north relic]

dalton so far

[neat tundra]

rumor is they are dropping almost everyone

[abstract nova]

ok

[weak bolt]

Knowing titans they'll drop everyone without a goodbye post, but tweet about some pizza deals

[abstract nova]

Ohhh Nero didn't retire

cool

[abstract nova]

truth

[earnest leaf]

Tfw you wake up to shock getting wiped out

[mortal cipher]

shock tho

[rare magnet]

daytime dorado and nightime havana what is this the wear ur pants inside out day
