but nothing super crazy

[hot onyx]

I hope Dallas sign more than just Edison for hitscan

Someone like Develop or MN3 or Ezhan

[balmy wolf]

edison gonna prove u wrong

[tiny pollen]

rare dallas L imo

[hot onyx]

Just like Edison proved us wrong by being the weak link on Reign?

[humble yarrow]

Edison was a good pick up

[plush grail]

okay the pikachu is done

what did i miss

[noble nexus]

dallas signed edison

[balmy wolf]

he didnt play over kai and peli bruh

still rlly good

[next mesa]

Uhh

Why did they sign edison

Wow

I am shocked 😮

[proven saddle]

reaper guy

[tropic herald]

Fielder friendship

[next mesa]

Sparkle is there and better

Yeah prob

[next mesa]

Huge but no seawave or xzi now :(

[tropic herald]

Unless

[hot onyx]

Wow who would’ve guessed

[hot onyx]

Fielder GC BUSAN nepotism

[earnest leaf]

Ooh edison

Didn't expect that

[vagrant cargo]

its a lil risky

but he does have great peaks

[balmy wolf]

good pickup

[earnest leaf]

But he covers the tracer and the hitscans

[hot onyx]

Sp9rk1e already proved himself on tracer last season

[earnest leaf]

His tracer is good but it's not going to compete with top tier tracers

[hot onyx]

It competed with Fleta and Lip

Competed with Yaki

[earnest leaf]

Fleta and lip gapped him after may melee on tracer

And yaki had the case of "my team fucking sucks"

[vagrant cargo]

it allows them to play Edison tracer sp9rk1e echo

i dont rate Doha echo high

[hot onyx]

Really?

[vagrant cargo]

yeah

Doha in general is kinda weak

[hot onyx]

I rated Doha echo pretty well last season

Not to the point of Pelican and Fleta

[earnest leaf]

Doha echo was ok

[hot onyx]

But he had the mechanics down

[trim shadow]

ngl

edison at dallas isnt suprising

he still wont play cause dallas doesnt wanna make sparkle play with other dps

[vagrant cargo]

?

[next mesa]

Really I thought Doha Mechanics were the weakest

[mortal cipher]

unless they need a hc

[next mesa]

I thinkink in general he's a smart player

[mortal cipher]

tru

unless he gets boolied by heesu

[next mesa]

But I'm worried like is Edison gonna be their hitscan hitscan cuz like..

[mortal cipher]

they said it was

[tiny pollen]

shouldve gotten ans

[mortal cipher]

mebe

[tawdry hamlet]

Edison sniper is a little interesting but they literally had no sniper so it isn't like we have a baseline to compare it to

[willow tartan]

imo dallas with hitscan = better than dallas without hitscan

[tawdry hamlet]

Yeah

Which is why even though Edison isn't some insane game changer he's also filling in for nobody so it isn't like it hurts them

[willow tartan]

its like stalk3r on seoul

[earnest leaf]

I could see Edison benching doha a lot

[willow tartan]

real?

[earnest leaf]

Edison is kinda like striker imo hero pool wise

[willow tartan]

i see it the other way since doha play sombra

so sparkle bench

[next mesa]

I find edison a bit underwhelming for a hard hitscan

like i dont think he's s tier on cree widow ashe and dont think that's a hot take either

[tawdry hamlet]

I don't think he is s tier on any hero

[next mesa]

yep

is his tracer even better than sparkle

[earnest leaf]

probably

[next mesa]

I think sparkle will improve and take another leap

that kid's just too cracked

[earnest leaf]

But I do think sparkle's echo is better than his tracer

[trim shadow]

they are probably gonna need a sniper

[earnest leaf]

so edison on tracer lets them run sparkle echo

[next mesa]

maybe their plan is to have 3 really flexible dps players

[earnest leaf]

yea

[next mesa]

when ow2 rolls around

[earnest leaf]

Edison is pretty flexible

[next mesa]

with some heroes

new ones

they will pick up

EZ

[tropic herald]

internt diff

[hot onyx]

Subjective but I think Sp9rk1e better

[worn falcon]

but also we talking about ow2 not ow1, we dont know how much the heros are gonna change, their core gonna be here

[willow tartan]

??

boston crimzo

why

[north relic]

empathy post boston crimzo challenge

finished

[north relic]

idk i personally put myunbong above him

[willow tartan]

myunbong definitely better

[tropic herald]

i think myunbong is alright

def overrated

[willow tartan]

better than crimzo

[north relic]

i would call him overrated but better than crimzo

[tropic herald]

i think i wouldnt be super surprised to see boston get another fs

seems like what teams want to do

but

also

crimzo > myunbong

🥱

[earnest leaf]

ngl yea

his bapt/zen are better

What if boston got muze

[north relic]

if (insert team) got muze they would be insane

[tawdry hamlet]

myunbong this season didn't look super impressive if im being honest, Crimzo had way more of an impact in s4 I think

though I still think myunbong is very good ana

[next mesa]

if seoul got muze saik we already have smurf

https://tenor.com/view/naughty-dog-naughty-dog-he-knows-smirk-gif-17855811

[worn falcon]

inb4 they get checkmate for seoul

[next mesa]

Cane

I don't know why he played over attack

his sig was like

he had some questionable ults

[humble yarrow]

Hold up so you're telling me Boston has a chance?

[next mesa]

eh

dont see it

valentine crimzo faith punk

scrims mid

screams mid

[worn falcon]

punk

[humble yarrow]

Yea true. And was valentine official?

[gusty rampart]

Crimzo will never Boston Up

[tawdry hamlet]

Boston screams mid unless their DPS pickups are fat

[gusty rampart]

[tawdry hamlet]

This roster swap myunbong for Crimzo and then a bunch of bottom tier players was mid, so Crimzo upgrade means mid even if they get shit players for every other role I think

And that's assuming they even find players worse than stand1 im37 lmao

Which I doubt they can

Swapping moth for the other moth lmao

[tropic herald]

Worth noting that this supportline is gonna POUND

[gusty rampart]

Fastro more flexible

[noble nexus]

except fastro has a brig that makes it worth subbing him in over skewed if they plan on playing not brig

[gusty rampart]

He can Brig

[north relic]

easily top 2 support line

[tawdry hamlet]

Funnyastro is moth plus brig minus a Lil mercy 😏

[devout path]

he does not look good in purple

i wanna say that

[tawdry hamlet]

At least he isn't in Blue and Yellow 😎

🤯

[next mesa]

wowwwww

im honestly a tiny bit surprised

and honestly i think fastro would be a lucio 1trick

on this team

skewed flexibility is just too op

[tropic herald]

Ok but

Still

This looks good for glads

[tawdry hamlet]

It's a great lineup I just don't know what astro adds that moth didn't besides brig which moth regardless wasn't playing

[tropic herald]

Unless one of these players fall off hard in OW2 this should be top3 supp line minimum

To quote harsha: something something I think mechanics will be valued more than anything else

[tawdry hamlet]

[tropic herald]

What does Astro have that Moth doesn’t?

Mechanics

[tawdry hamlet]

FDGod redemption arc? Mechanic Andy's about to off 😎

[mortal cipher]

[tawdry hamlet]

Why does Boston look so incredibly mid 😭

[hot onyx]

Astro to Glads

Fuck

More talent for Dpei to drain

[tropic herald]

Mid better than what they were the last few years

[tawdry hamlet]

It feels like Florida last year where they literally changed nothing except downgrade tank and main support hehe

Well Ms is eh since Kris wasn't great either but main tank 😭

[tropic herald]

I think the supp line went up

[tawdry hamlet]

Eh slime was just such a letdown it felt like

could we sign an sfs player

[worn falcon]

now who is gonna sign Glads as headcoach?

GetAmazed?

[zealous venture]

will we?

[tawdry hamlet]

I think glads backline looks great, but I'm not making any conclusions because their backline looked this insane last season and they barely made a run in the last tourney before playoffs with the top teams already out.

[balmy wolf]

Ok

Which ones

[sly lagoon]

we used to play a lot with SparkR when he was 13-14

he went by "assassinkitty" nick

[plush grail]

there were rumors that paris eternal was DOMINATING

[tawdry hamlet]

tragic he was delayed so far and then put into an unfortunate situation but at least he's secured his spot in S5 afaik

[trim shadow]

god lord funnyastro in purple

[stuck radish]

shock also looked like they could win against shanghai in scrims

[trim shadow]

moth got sold for a s t r o

now do i hate this?

[tawdry hamlet]

Shax looked so sadge last year

[plush grail]

london should just pick up the players paris dropped lmao

instant improvement

[mortal cipher]

he was on Lav

[tawdry hamlet]

If moth had been like s3 moth it would be more controversial I think but given the circumstances Astro is a good pickup

[mortal cipher]

yah

[trim shadow]

funny thing is skewed is back

[mortal cipher]

moth was more sought out last year than he prob is going to be this year

[earnest leaf]

It's not moth's fault his heroes weren't meta often

[tawdry hamlet]

Skewed is back so Astros brig is kind of redundant yeah but who knows astro can match moth Lucio and mercy isnt going to make or break them

[mortal cipher]

yeah

[earnest leaf]

and it's not his fault dpei fucking failed to coach a team to play around lucio

[willow tartan]

astro's brig is good enough that he can bench skewed

[worn falcon]

dpei was fiiiiiiine

[mortal cipher]

yeah and moth also sacrificed for shu skewed backline

[earnest leaf]

Sucks a top tier MS gets his reputation shit on because of shitty coaching

[worn falcon]

bruh, could be worse

[willow tartan]

no reason to limit yourself by having a main support that can only brig

[earnest leaf]

cuyo he won a single tourney across 4 years

[mortal cipher]

could be a lav coach

[plush grail]

can we do a #esports-discussion vc night where we just scream and call eachothers teams shit???

[tawdry hamlet]

Yeah idk why glads never used their Lucio despite every other team using hella Lucio when they had a top tier Lucio 🤔

[earnest leaf]

and that was the one tourney the two best teams weren't in

[trim shadow]

dpei is in for another year pf being carried

[mortal cipher]

mine might be hard to call skitt

[willow tartan]

glads allergic to rush

[earnest leaf]

dpei is off glads now anyways

[mortal cipher]

yee

[earnest leaf]

Hopefully they don't butcher astro's reputation

[mortal cipher]

i pray

[mortal abyss]

Dpei gone?!?!?!?!?

[next mesa]

plenty of coaches didnt win anything tbh

dpei above average

confirmed

[earnest leaf]

Dpei was hard carried by a superstar roster

[tawdry hamlet]

Moth reputation is barely even butchered he just hasn't played in a year so nobody knows if he's top 2 main support anymore or not

[plush grail]

nah moth is mid

[trim shadow]

and whos fault is that?

[mortal cipher]

last time he played he played good

[trim shadow]

moth rich as all hell a 2 time champion washing the bench

[mortal cipher]

funny enough it was against shock last time he played

[willow tartan]

the answer is maybe top 2 but probably top 5

[trim shadow]

and im sure glads payed moth a shit ton to sign him

[plush grail]

glads suck so much ass

they're just buying top tier talent every year

[willow tartan]

for all we know moth doesnt even want to play. maybe like smurf where he bench himself

[plush grail]

''ahh yeah boss i guess moth just wasn't it, let's just try astro this year''

[gusty rampart]

Glads paid him so much

[trim shadow]

i think houston is moths next home

[tropic herald]

unless those reasons also left shock

[earnest leaf]

iirc i've heard it was more than money

[worn falcon]

tired of crusty yelling

[willow tartan]

moth saw shock becoming not as dominant anymore and tried to flee the sinking ship only to board one that was on fire

[mortal cipher]

apart from its hard to keep that many player for a number of times

[plush grail]

shock isn't a sinking ship

it's dead

shock is gone

[mortal cipher]

super went down with the ship as all captains do

[willow tartan]

super is their IGL?

[tawdry hamlet]

This still has to be one of the goofiest rosters in hindsight lmao

[willow tartan]

wtf

[gusty rampart]

Moth about Glads: Moth: No, this definitely wasn’t a pre-planned decision. It was a really tough decision for me to make, and it was something I was really thinking heavily about every day leading up until I told Glads (Los Angeles Gladiators) I wanted to join. I went into the off-season with an open mind. I wanted to look at all my options as objectively as possible, and just make sure I make the right decision. I’m really excited to play with all the players on Glads and I really think it’s a championship level roster.

[mortal cipher]

igl???

[willow tartan]

how do you not know what igl is

you talk here like every other day

wtf

[tawdry hamlet]

Like knowing every players career now it is so amusing to see surefour Ripa on a team with void decay

[tropic herald]

we have some really good players but also some really bad ones

[mortal cipher]

forgot ripa was on glads

[plush grail]

shock players when they're no longer the best team be like

[tawdry hamlet]

[willow tartan]

makes sense

[mortal cipher]

remind me

[willow tartan]

in-game leader

[mortal cipher]

ooh

[gusty rampart]

Super and Viol2t are believers

[tawdry hamlet]

It is a more popular term in csgo but overwatch has them as well

[mortal cipher]

technically voilet is the shot caller

[earnest leaf]

super can't leave shock since 90% of his shirts are shock merch

[willow tartan]

so an in-game leader is the guy that calls the rapid fire during game strats

[plush grail]

pretty sure most owl teams rotate the shot caller

[earnest leaf]

also shock I don't think has a dedicated shot caller

[tawdry hamlet]

Everyone that's played with moth said he's a goated shot caller iirc

[gusty rampart]

Me with being a NYXL fan

[earnest leaf]

think it's something people just pick up in the game

[next mesa]

super is when he's in

[willow tartan]

a coach determines the plan of the match and an IGL adapts that plan to whatever is happening in game

[next mesa]

but in ow everyone shotcalls basically

[earnest leaf]

^

[willow tartan]

not shotcalling

[earnest leaf]

Everyone contributes to it

[next mesa]

ms do more like ult tracking and shit tho

[willow tartan]

an IGL is the guy that calls for a mid game adaptation

[trim shadow]

i still never expected a shock rebuild

[willow tartan]

and everyone else on the team listens to him and executes with 100% belief

[trim shadow]

crusty is gonna have to channel some dark magic

[plush grail]

how many games has taiyo played in total

it's like around 5 right

[willow tartan]

less than m1ka probably

[tawdry hamlet]

Is the igl the dude with crown next to his name on liquidpedia? Or is that just an arbitrary captain that means nothing

[willow tartan]

probably the latter

[mortal cipher]

last time he played was against houston

[trim shadow]

man..shock and wasting taiyo

[tawdry hamlet]

It isn't wasting when your other team members are just better 😤

[willow tartan]

as far as i know team captain = lead the team outside of the server (get along, well-being, discipline)

igl = lead the game in the server

[tawdry hamlet]

Yveltal when he was the team captain

[plush grail]

this is a team not a fucking daycare

[willow tartan]

??

you still have to have good team culture to succeed

[plush grail]

n

o

establish dominance

beat up the best player

[willow tartan]

decay on fuel

[trim shadow]

which is funny cause shock was known for having good team culture

[willow tartan]

well you see there is no good team culture when there is no team left

[mortal cipher]

didnt decay leave the fuel before he went to justice

[willow tartan]

yes

[plush grail]

FUCK DECAY FUCK DECAY

[willow tartan]

he joined justice right as the playoffs started

[tawdry hamlet]

Insert Crimzo love it when the person who ruins scrims beats you tweet

[willow tartan]

^^^

[mortal cipher]

yeah and they about beat the shock out of playoffs

[next mesa]

captain that means nothing

[plush grail]

imma keep it real i do not like decay

[next mesa]

lots of teams don't have the crown symbol

[mortal cipher]

rlly

[willow tartan]

like as a person?

you know him?

[mortal cipher]

never wouldve thought

[plush grail]

captain sbb

[plush grail]

i beat him up once irl

[next mesa]

that means something

🙏

[plush grail]

no ♑

[mortal cipher]

well

[next mesa]

seoul

sign good coach

plz

plz plz plz plz plz

only missing piece

gimme tobi rascal jfeel nohill 🙏

https://tenor.com/view/sheesh-sheeesh-sheeeesh-bro-bruh-gif-22818626

[willow tartan]

no they still need a main support and an off tank

[next mesa]

they have vindaim

[willow tartan]

(not confirm)

[next mesa]

halo pretty much

its either vindaim or chorong

[plush grail]

meko

[mortal cipher]

so far hes been prtty accurate

[next mesa]

he's also missing a bit more stuff this year

[willow tartan]

who do they sign to play off tanks

[next mesa]

yeah thats what im wonderinnnnn

[tropic herald]

dpei

[willow tartan]

dpei to seoul

will kill myself if that happens

[mortal cipher]

ah ofc

[tropic herald]

wait

[mortal cipher]

best idea

[tropic herald]

o2 boss to glads

[willow tartan]

no

[mortal cipher]

[willow tartan]

who is o2 boss anyway

what does he do

[tropic herald]

?

its in his name

[willow tartan]

does he own the team?

[tropic herald]

maybe

[willow tartan]

was he always called o2boss?

[mortal cipher]

good assumption

[willow tartan]

and then he created o2 blast

massive ego of naming it after himself

[mortal cipher]

who knows

[tawdry hamlet]

Dpei pulling a reverse space and going to lav ez

[mortal cipher]

that be an improvement to wot they have now

[turbid cargo]

Seoul got a nice pickup

[willow tartan]

watch seoul sign like hotba

[next mesa]

isnt o2boss like

the manager

not coach

[willow tartan]

according to liquipedia he is both

[mortal cipher]

hmm

[willow tartan]

general manager and head coach

[mortal cipher]

interesting

[willow tartan]

maybe he owns the team or partially does

he looks like the kinda guy that would own an esports team

[mortal cipher]

prob

isnt that the point

[trim shadow]

wait wuh

crimzo boston?

atlanta? wya

is atlanta doing this shit again

waiting till february to sign a team

[next mesa]

?

why would atlanta sign crimzo when they have uv

question is why did florida not sign him

are they getting sir majed

[trim shadow]

even if atlanta signs uv brad is still coaching and is probably thinking of fielding a medium size team

[next mesa]

they only had iris last year too

[trim shadow]

thats mostlyy try causse brad fell on his ass managing a 13 man roster

i expect to see 8-9

[next mesa]

eh

idk

team worked much much better as like an 7-8 man

i dont think they're going for 12 man or anything

they might sign another fs tho thats for sure

but they already have uv who's a banger

just go for some budget option

[trim shadow]

you can rlly only for budget if you have a solid position so someone like nero kai hawk gator and maybe another mt

maybe a kr dps pick up

or snatching and actually using moth..maybe getting a average player like joobi who will just do his job and nothing more

[next mesa]

They're getting ojee

Their support line is set

[mortal cipher]

yee

[next mesa]

So hyped

UV ojee

[trim shadow]

eqo would be a nice signing

i believe

philadelphia kept eqo as a hidden weapon so idk how he will function as a starter

[mortal cipher]

yeah

its weird or sad to see the ogs of Philly leave

[trim shadow]

oh fuck right

shockwave is free to

theres alot of potential

[mortal cipher]

tru

[haughty crag]

i didnt look at esports for like a day and now smurf is at seoul

what the fuck

[mortal cipher]

craziness happened

[haughty crag]

i hope he does well

[mortal cipher]

fr

[haughty crag]

i also hope shock makes a fucking signing

[mortal cipher]

that wot i did im like lets loom through my notifs and boom

[willow drum]

nooooo

fastro in purple is ugly imo

[trim shadow]

it is very strange

[mortal cipher]

tru looks a bit weird

[willow drum]

It looks almost as weird as super NOT in a shock jersey

[mortal cipher]

tbf its going to be weird to see someone whos been on the same team since the leagues been alive in a diff jersey

[willow drum]

its been rumored that they have just no official ones

[willow drum]

yeah

my poor brain aint used 2 it

[trim shadow]

like jjonak

wherever he goes will be a shellshock

[haughty crag]

this tweet still hurts

[mortal cipher]

it took awhile for like fearless

[willow drum]

it hurts so much.

[trim shadow]

i feel like going into year 6? carpe will@be the only player in his original jersey

[willow drum]

Super.

[mortal cipher]

yeah especially jjonak

[willow drum]

Super's going to cpmete as a husband

[haughty crag]

super will never retire

[willow drum]

super will compete as a grandfather

[haughty crag]

super retires when the overwatch league ends

[willow drum]

the face of owl will never retire.

[trim shadow]

right superr

[haughty crag]

super will reform bird noises if he must

he will never stop playing

[mortal cipher]

even tho i dont like shock seeing teammates part rlly does hurt

[trim shadow]

i still can’t believe shock are rebuilding

[mortal cipher]

fr

[haughty crag]

to be fair we kind of needed it

[mortal cipher]

never thought wed see it

[haughty crag]

we'd never really adjusted our playstyle

only brought in new players to fill old roles

e.g fdgod for moth's lucio

a new coat of paint could be what we need

[trim shadow]

honestly shock wouldve been fine going into 5v5 with the roster they had but i guess everyone had there own issues

[mortal cipher]

everyone else just caught shocks bs

[earnest leaf]

It sounded like internally they were having a chunk of issues

[haughty crag]

yeah there were def internal issues as well

[mortal cipher]

yeah

[haughty crag]

like we heard from nero that he was struggling to live up to expectations set by rascal

[earnest leaf]

So it seemed they wanted to just have a fresh start

[haughty crag]

and we saw fdgod get heat for nothing from toxic fans

[earnest leaf]

Keep some core pieces and build up from there

[haughty crag]

the pressure of shock is pretty big for the players

like you dont go into a 2-time championship winning team and expect it to be smooth sailing

[earnest leaf]

Not winning might be a good thing

[trim shadow]

well they did win 2 championships back to back

[earnest leaf]

It allows the players to have less pressure on their backs

[trim shadow]

so ofc you have to fill the shoes

[willow drum]

Yeah this year will be good for Shock

no pressure

[haughty crag]

i think not winning is good for us here

relieves some of that pressure

if we'd gotten the 3peat we wouldve been even more pressured

[willow drum]

As low expectations as u can get for shock....

[earnest leaf]

I'm mainly excited to see how shock does with rookies

[willow drum]

bruh im so excited

to see proper

in owl

[earnest leaf]

since the only two rookies they have ever had before were ta1yo and ans

Ta1yo never played but ans ended up being insane

[haughty crag]

ans was fucking en fuego

taiyo was a smoking hot model so

they both had their positives

[vagrant cargo]

viol2t smurf were rookies too

[earnest leaf]

iirc viol2t joined late season 1?

same with smurf I think

[mortal cipher]

i remeber when shanghai beat them in stage III and violet was ball

[willow drum]

VIOL2T WRECKING BALL

OML

[mortal cipher]

[balmy wolf]

oh man dpei leaving is sad

who they gonna replace him when they just had their best season with him?

[tropic herald]

Well there’s the two Shanghai coaches

And uh

NoHill

GetAmazed I would say but he’s getting no trials

[mortal cipher]

wait wot no

now

[vagrant cargo]

no they joined S2

[twin bloom]

Mid

[vagrant cargo]

smurf did fosho

and viol2t too

viol2t was having a killer season w O2

[vagrant cargo]

below mid

Most overhyped Coach ever

[tawdry hamlet]

I mean when you are rated bottom two coming into the season being over hyped is going to happen for the most miniscule of wins

[north relic]

Jack must be celebrating rn

[tawdry hamlet]

I think getamazed was over hyped because the roster was very very underrated

[earnest leaf]

4 mickey mouse wins

[worn falcon]

get packing10 on glads

unretire him

[light ridge]

[hot onyx]

If my team gained a top 2 main support and lost a weak af coach I wanted shifted for 3–4 years I would be celebrating as well

[willow tartan]

moth to philly next

[north relic]

isnt philly going korean

[willow tartan]

moth is korean enough

[hot onyx]

Trading Astro for Moth would be an L

[stuck radish]

moth should go on Shock

[mortal cipher]

moth goes to vancouver

[noble nexus]

Idgaf about fastro but losing dpei is something to thank god for 🙏🙏

[north relic]

?

my guy doesn’t give a fuck about getting a top three ms

[noble nexus]

we had one last season and he was benched cuz skewed best brig in the world

[north relic]

You were probably pissing everywhere when moth was signed

[noble nexus]

if brig somehow isn't the best character in the game in ow2 I'm happy

[hot onyx]

Astro lucio > Moth lucio

Astro brig >>>> Moth brig

[noble nexus]

Astro lucio moth lucio comparable

[hot onyx]

Moth mercy > Astro mercy

[noble nexus]

but right aside from that

[earnest leaf]

I'd take moth over astro on mercy and lucio

[hot onyx]

On mercy definitely

On lucio it depends on the team around you

[noble nexus]

^^^^^

depends what your team is looking like

[hot onyx]

Like put Astro on Shoc with Viol2t

Playstyles counter eachother

Like the FDGod scenario

[earnest leaf]

I think astros lucio is better if you need a lucio to individually pop off

But I would take moth if you just need the lucio to do his thing in rush

[hot onyx]

Astro is european

His brain has been hard wired to rush

[earnest leaf]

same with na

that's all the regions know

[hot onyx]

At one time Moth was better

But the more time progresses the more I feel that Astro gets better and better

Which is why Fusion parting with the chap puts me through unbearable pain

[noble nexus]

moth has peaked higher but astro has also had more playtime recently

if moth gets playtime on a decent team I reckon he'd improve just as much too

[tawdry hamlet]

Astro has recency bias tbf, we haven't seen moth since may so of course astro feels better

[noble nexus]

it's like moth being benched makes him a dogshit player

[hot onyx]

He isn’t

I’m just making an arguement as to why one top tier lucio main is better than another top tier lucio main

[noble nexus]

your argument sucks and so do you

[hot onyx]

So here is my argument as to why the Philadelphia Fusion is going to trade Unique from their contenders team over to the Shanghai Dragons in exchange for LeeJaeGon

[noble nexus]

I'm glad you're holding out hope bb

[noble nexus]

it won't happen but it's really impressive how you still choose to support that team and have hope for them

[next mesa]

tru

[hot onyx]

As long as they keep Carpe and Alarm

There is hope

[next mesa]

They didn't get Yaki

[hot onyx]

And look at the last remaining players on the roster

[next mesa]

actually such a fat L

they get zest

but imo like

he was just fine

[hot onyx]

NYXL news is not finalised

After the Super debacle with Halo I’m taking the leaks with a pinch of sea salt

“Hey guys Super is retiring but he is actually not retiring but found another team but that other team is actually the same team he has been playing on for 4 years”

[earnest leaf]

also the day the retirement one came out was the day super signed his shock contract

[tawdry hamlet]

yeah losing astro is a big ol blow to fusion since their backline was their biggest constant

like no matter how the team is doing you could always depend on that backline to do their job

so sadge

[hot onyx]

Visa problems fuckin’ suck

[next mesa]

sadge

[earnest leaf]

fusion looking for another year of mediocrity

[hot onyx]

If you’re Fusion you have a choice

[next mesa]

dont think poko would've changed anything tho

[hot onyx]

Go all KR and sack Astro EQO and sHockWave

Or go full western and sack Carpe and Alarm

[next mesa]

u dont sack alarm

when alarm is on ur team u dont sack alarm

[hot onyx]

^^^

[next mesa]

if alarm says "i want full japanese team" u go full japanese

[hot onyx]

Also friendly reminder

Season 3

The Philadelphia Fusion sign what appears to be mid tier fdps “Ivy”

Man comes out the gate with a season where he performs like a top 5 fdps

[noble nexus]

Ivy had one good season and then wasted away on nyxl

Sadge

[hot onyx]

And washes up on NYXL thanks to Whynot and IMT

Sucks to see

[noble nexus]

NYXL shouldn't be allowed to hire top tier fdps players honestly

should be blacklisted

[hot onyx]

His mei was equal- if not better than peak Rascal

[earnest leaf]

no

[next mesa]

equal

agree

[earnest leaf]

Ivy was good

[hot onyx]

I’ll settle for equal

[earnest leaf]

but rascal's mei s3 was fucking nasty

[hot onyx]

So was Ivy’s

[next mesa]

i think if u swapped ivy and rascal

[earnest leaf]

but not as good as rascal

[next mesa]

results still the same

[noble nexus]

rascal's was a little better at both of their peaks

[next mesa]

individually

[hot onyx]

Not better but definitely equal

Put it this was

[earnest leaf]

I swear people forget how good some people were in older seasons

[noble nexus]

Ivy was nasty pre-nyxl tho

[earnest leaf]

next i'm gonna hear kai was just as good as ans s3

[hot onyx]

He was the only mei player s3 that could be compared to Rascal

[hot onyx]

You’re literally forgetting about how good Ivy was after he washed up on NYXL tf

[earnest leaf]

I said ivy was good

he definietly was outstanding that season

just saying that Rascal's mei was better

[next mesa]

nah

[hot onyx]

Equal dude

[next mesa]

Kai isn't S tier hitscan dont @ me

[hot onyx]

Go back and watch it

Ivy was elite mei

[earnest leaf]

I watched the games

Ivy mei very good

rascal better

[earnest leaf]

I wouldn't be surprised if people start forgetting what ans did in s3

[hot onyx]

Rascal fan moment

[next mesa]

i dont get how 1 season where hitscan was weak make ppl think ans isn't s tier

man's still s tier

also

xzi tweeted like

"sad"

there's no more teams for him to go

:(

should've stayed on dallas

sadge

[hot onyx]

Not exactly

[next mesa]

nyxl has develop

fusion has mn3

seoul has lip

dragons has

[hot onyx]

Charge has Develop*

[next mesa]

spark has shy

wait really

ayt mb

nyxl has flora*

dragons have jimmy leave

oops

[hot onyx]

Or at least Charge is rumoured to have Develop

[next mesa]

hunters

i mean

[tiny pollen]

hunters has jimmy

jimmy >

[hot onyx]

Valiant has Krystal

👉 👈

And Fusion could always release Carpe

[next mesa]

nowhere forh im to go

[hot onyx]

Spark could always release Shy

[next mesa]

seawave needs to be on a team

[hot onyx]

It’d be stupid but it could happen

[next mesa]

and pineapple

[hot onyx]

And Aprita

[next mesa]

the probability of spark releasing shy is about the same as hunters releasing leave

yes and him

there's no space for xzi

;(

[mortal cipher]

yeah

so charge

wait xzi philly

[worn falcon]

Xzi spark

[hot onyx]

Fusion are rumoured to be signing MN3 from their academy team

[next mesa]

MN3 and carpe already

[hot onyx]

And Carpe is still under contract

[mortal cipher]

ah

[worn falcon]

Xzi like london

[hot onyx]

At least from what the rumours say

[mortal cipher]

well see

[hot onyx]

We don’t know which teams are gonna move to Asia this year though

[mortal cipher]

yeah

and which teams go to na

[tiny pollen]

vancouver

[hot onyx]

Maybe Gladiators or Reign implode like Valiant and they sign a full contenders team

[next mesa]

how

[mortal cipher]

doubtful

[next mesa]

they already have kevster and fastro

??

[mortal cipher]

glads have shu and skewed already

the only question is the tanks

[hot onyx]

Valiant already had Kai Shax Agilities Adam Dreamer Rain Lastro

Still imploded

[mortal cipher]

and that was a solid team

[hot onyx]

Eh

[mortal cipher]

semi

[hot onyx]

Mid at best

[mortal cipher]

yeah

semi good

[hot onyx]

Replace Kai Shax with something like IM37 Na1st

[mortal cipher]

the only good was Kai Shax and Lastro

and Dreamer

[tawdry hamlet]

Xzi Chengdu would be goated

Since taro and Jimmy middddd

[mortal cipher]

imagine if xzi goes shanghai ( not happening but if )

[tawdry hamlet]

If he did they'd be the best team in every single meta

Double sniper

Ez

[mortal cipher]

its already an insane team

like you have Fleta is meta and Lip Void Fate Izayaki and Leejaegon

[tawdry hamlet]

What's the greatest double sniper duo we've ever seen in owl

[mortal cipher]

adding anyone else would make that even better

[tawdry hamlet]

Like what team had the best combo of main sniper and off sniper?

[mortal cipher]

well they had diem

[earnest leaf]

hard to say

[tawdry hamlet]

Did diem lip ever play together

[mortal cipher]

who was one of the best snipers

[tawdry hamlet]

I don't remember

[earnest leaf]

a lot of teams had insane halves

Like shock had ans/striker for widow hanzo

[mortal cipher]

against seoul last year

[earnest leaf]

striker's hanzo was actually pretty nutty though

[next mesa]

yes widow hanzo

[tawdry hamlet]

Thought uhh fleta played with diem last playoffs

[earnest leaf]

so i'd probably say Ans/Striker

[mortal cipher]

they both did

[earnest leaf]

because Ans> all

[tawdry hamlet]

Peak ans still didn't beat diem in the 1v1 which makes sense because ans has always been more mechanics oriented

[earnest leaf]

diem was born purely to win the widow 1v1

[tawdry hamlet]

And 1v1 is a lot of just peaking the right angle

[mortal cipher]

when did ans and Diem play against each other

last play offs???

[earnest leaf]

s3 playoffs briefly

even then only a map or two

[willow tartan]

and damn was he good at it

[mortal cipher]

and still lost the 1v1

[tawdry hamlet]

Like 9/10 widow 1v1s are won by who is able to know which corner their opponent is at so they don't get caught by surprise
