[mortal abyss]

Striker can play hs

Maybe not widow but his ashe and mccree is insane

[gusty rampart]

Striker is their biggest pickup period

Above average at worst

[twin bloom]

Reiner is the best pick up at worst

Best pickup in OWL history at best

a lot of clout and ego but talent just outweighs so much

[earnest leaf]

Super unironically doesn't have a big ego

It's more so just confidence

[willow tartan]

he has that on stream bravado

[earnest leaf]

Also I would say yaki fits that picture

Fucking nutty player

Doesn't get much attention though

[mortal cipher]

[next mesa]

Btw

Sadge

[tawdry hamlet]

[next mesa]

Super was too concentrated on his career

[worn falcon]

super was busy becoming Tifa

[hot onyx]

-somebody who misspelled “smurf”

[trail perch]

His widow is his best hitscan besides tracer...

[tiny pollen]

reaper

[twin bloom]

His cree(cassidy) better

[gusty rampart]

Super isn't egotistical

He'll admit if he does shit wrong

He doesn't ego flex when he wins

[twin bloom]

Its good to have an ego

As long if its deserved

And super has a deserved ego

[gusty rampart]

After all he's a 2x Overwatch League Champion, World Cup Champion, Stage 2 Champion, May Melee Tournament Champion, Role Star, 2x All Star, MVP Runner-Up, Countdown Cup Champion.

[rare magnet]

how did gravy win hawelka award on his stream he's displaying nothing wholesome hes always pissed off and complaining

[gusty rampart]

Sp9rk1e deserved that award

[hot onyx]

Nah award should’ve gone to NvM

Man gave up his starting spot to let aspiring rookie talent take his place

Tell me something more wholesome

[twin bloom]

What did he do to desevre it

Gravy was doing charity streams

[gusty rampart]

I meant this year

[twin bloom]

At least

Did sp9rkle do anything this year lol

[gusty rampart]

Sp9rk1e earned that in 2021 in which he won

[gusty rampart]

[twin bloom]

Ok

[hot onyx]

[gusty rampart]

They did?

Proof?

[hot onyx]

Wow I am shocked to my very core

[vestal grotto]

I have had 3 heart attacks im so shocked

[vestal grotto]

where is my royalty check for that announcement

[raw ermine]

💸

[vestal grotto]

2%

[north relic]

Oh Boston signed marvel

So far they are very mid

[hot onyx]

“Don’t worry everybody. Striker is going to carry a mid tier team to top 5 like he did in season 1”

[gusty rampart]

Boston will be above average but not top

[hot onyx]

There’s gonna be a lot of teams that look “above average”

[gusty rampart]

Appearently Valiant isn't going the shit team route again

[hot onyx]

That and Titans rebuilding

[north relic]

Above average is the new average

[hot onyx]

And average is the new dog water

[gusty rampart]

Shanghai going to get a three peat before Shock with their current tempo

[hot onyx]

Might be true but hear me out about Rookie of the Year 2022 “MN3”

[north relic]

Are you saying three championships or three in a row

[gusty rampart]

Both

[north relic]

If it’s in a row shock aren’t doing it

[gusty rampart]

RoTY 2022 "Proper"

[hot onyx]

Funny way of spelling “Lego”

[north relic]

That would make 3/5 roty fdps players

[gusty rampart]

Is that a surprise or?

[north relic]

3/4 mvps have been fdps players also

Rigged

[gusty rampart]

Wasn't Sinatraa also a FDPS?

[north relic]

Jjonak isn’t

[gusty rampart]

?

[north relic]

Leave fleta Sinatra

For fdps mvps

[gusty rampart]

That'd be 4 if Proper won

[vestal grotto]

leave sinatraa fleta

[hot onyx]

-someone who never witnessed the fated “JJonak sombra” vs Valiant in stage 4 finals

[vestal grotto]

true

[gusty rampart]

He has almost an hour on Hog in s1

[north relic]

He actually can’t now though

[vestal grotto]

what are the most stacked rosters this offseason in everyone's opinions

[gusty rampart]

Dynasty

[vestal grotto]

LA and Seoul

[hot onyx]

Sub out Fits and let the veteran take over

[vestal grotto]

these darned newbies dont know the old ways

[gusty rampart]

JJoNak 😇🐐🔥
Fits 🤮🤢❌

[hot onyx]

Why else would they resign Creative?

[vestal grotto]

true

[north relic]

for off tank ofc

[hot onyx]

Why do that when Aztac is FA?

[north relic]

someone as godly as him is too expensive after jjonak

[earnest leaf]

As of right now

There is no future signing boston can make to put them above average

[hot onyx]

Imagine

This team is just their “B team”

[gusty rampart]

B+

[hot onyx]

Like season 1 Valiant

[gusty rampart]

Striker really carries their roster

[hot onyx]

And they make heavy signings

[earnest leaf]

Striker will do very well

But he most likely won't be carrying boston

This isn't s1

he can't ravage the back line made up of players like unkoe

[hot onyx]

Such as the likes of Xzi

Perhaps another mt such as Kellan

Bring back Kalios

Buyout Fleta

Take a punt on Sanguinaar

[north relic]

singular yes

[earnest leaf]

Their roster as of right now is: Striker/Valentine/Marve1/Punk/Crimzo/Faith

It's solid

but not that special

[hot onyx]

Take away Striker

Add someone like

Heesu

[north relic]

striker is like their only player that is top 10 in his respective role

[hot onyx]

Or even someone like Shy or BQB

Also Striker top 10 hitscan?

Must’ve missed the memo for Opposite Day

[earnest leaf]

worst case scenario his tracer is still top 3

[north relic]

shitter

replace any statistic and just call striker above average

[hot onyx]

Hot take but Striker didn’t look like his peak form during season 4

[north relic]

obviously

they got rolled by dallas and lost to houston

for some reason shock didn't put him on tracer

[earnest leaf]

Don't blame individual players for the fuckery shock coaching staff was doing early season

[hot onyx]

Ta1yo should’ve done more on symmetra

Man threw a potential threepeat away after losing that map keep him benched

[earnest leaf]

the entire team threw that map

[hot onyx]

Yeah but the entire team didn’t get benched for the rest of the season

Therefore it was Ta1yo fault

Shock should’ve benched the entire team and signed the EU Contenders titans that is known as “4th Dimension”

[earnest leaf]

Speaking of shock

I think they're gonna announce roster shit tommorrow

[noble nexus]

they did say end of the week for their big news

and Halo said the proper kilo and finn thing was supposed to be soon

[worn falcon]

Tbh I'm not like very hyped for this season, as I'm expecting whack performance, since gonna be ow2, new changes, new heroes and maps. Unless blizzard gives to the teams a version of the game to practice and scrim.

[somber latch]

they most likely are

[earnest leaf]

I will predict

[worn falcon]

None gonna play at their peak

[somber latch]

(giving them a beta to scrim on)

[earnest leaf]

at least one highly rated roster will collapse

[worn falcon]

Because Paris is scrimming with a custom game mode with a few changes

Games starts on July?

[somber latch]

maybe january

[worn falcon]

If they give a beta for them in like February, they could scrim

[somber latch]

but it makes no sense to expect top tier gameplay when they dont even have a game to scrim on

so i expect them to give a beta

[worn falcon]

But if its close to the owl, is gonna be a disaster

[devout path]

It’s gonna be fun chaos

[somber latch]

i do expect owl to be worse

simply for the fact that fans want to play what they are watching

normally

[devout path]

For like a week it will be like wow new game so cool

Then after that it would be like man I wanna play this

[worn falcon]

If blizzard gives them the game 1 or 2 months before owl, gonna be a shitty move. Specially to burn their players for practice.

[somber latch]

true

btw was there a comp scene for ow1 in 2016

[tawdry hamlet]

yes pre owl was like the orgs themselves

there were tons of pre owl tourneys

[somber latch]

maybe itl be the same thing

Twitter · Oct 28, 2021, 7:31 PM

I could have told everyone 2 weeks ago that Valentine was staying on Boston

But I didn't know was only confirmed 2 hours ago wew

[hot onyx]

Could’ve made an attempted upgrade

Na1st is FA

[sullen berry]

An attempt was made to keep good dps

Na1st has been in Flow3rville on Defiant and hasn't returned to his former glory since

[hot onyx]

Every year there’s a generation of fdps players that wash up before they turn 18

And Na1st is not one of them, best fdps prepares for redemption arc lesgo

Fusion missed out on a hidden gem

[sullen berry]

Yeah, let's not forget that it doesn't happen to everyone, Sp9rk1e is a success story and so was Decay

Only reason neither of then have won more than a stage title is because of factors out of their control

[somber latch]

why does decay end up on bad teams every single time

[devout path]

Cuz decay doesn’t have good agents

Idk

[sullen berry]

I mean decay needed to out stomp his former team

And Sp9rk1e has dominated before against decay in Contenders if I recall in 2019

*2018

[somber latch]

"I want to kill decay"
-Sp9rkle, 2021

[tawdry hamlet]

well you see

Decay is a terrible teammate and hugely overrated and has had some dog water backlines

so it makes sense

I mean imagine barely ever practicing with your team because you are decay

then coming in without practice

and having crimzo paintbrush to back you up LOL

or bebe closer

[trail perch]

also the practice thing was like on a single team

everyone else loves playing with him

[earnest leaf]

I think dpei said he had no issues with decay

and that he was just lonely and wanted to be with friends

[trail perch]

Yeah i remember that

and other beloved players have done the exact same with scrims

and no one gives any of them shit

Rascal and Striker are 2 that come to mind

[next mesa]

Sup

Did I miss anything in the last 4 hours

Also for ppl asking for super gf situation

One of supers mod confirmed it

[willow tartan]

you're telling me that just because a mod on super's twitch channel said it you took it as factual

[devout path]

Yes when have twitch mods EVER been wrong

[earnest leaf]

that's a meme response

Super unironically has two mods

and neither would respond about that, nor would they know

[forest raven]

Yeah taylor and goro wouldn't talk about that

[somber latch]

they have a practice facility

That is not a team house

and they live in an apartment in seperate rooms

They lived in apartments

[somber latch]

whats with the past tense

Don't know if they'll be doing the same thing next year

[somber latch]

most likely

[willow tartan]

then how does he have teammates on strm sometimes?

or does he stream at his workplace and his workplace also has a bed

i wonder how many fake shock fans are still around

[hot onyx]

Probably about 6

[noble surge]

Tbh a lot of shock fans are San Francisco super fans

[wicked pendant]

Can confirm, am a Super fan

[noble surge]

not Shock fans

I am both, however

Tifa 😊

lol jk

[tiny pollen]

being super fan led me to being shock fan

[noble surge]

same

[tiny pollen]

in his videos and such you see the other players

[mortal cipher]

i feel most were because of the back to back not because oif the team itself

[tiny pollen]

so they get persoanlity

[noble surge]

agreed

[tiny pollen]

and not be another random team of ppl i dont know about

[mortal cipher]

and then when they lost they left to one of the others when they saw they werent invincable

[noble surge]

yeah

just really hurt us when striker left

[mortal cipher]

like most went to dallas

yeah

[noble surge]

and for the freaking uprising

sadge

[mortal cipher]

shock tbh were struggling even when striker was there

[noble surge]

I have a huge hatred of dallas since they 3-0ed us in like june

[stuck radish]

crusty had a bad year tbh

[noble surge]

yeah

[mortal cipher]

reign 3-niled you in june

[stuck radish]

and it wasnt just his fault

[mortal cipher]

dallas was in may

[noble surge]

oh, mb

[stuck radish]

shock had 2 coaches for the majority of the season

[mortal cipher]

it was a 3-nil either way

[noble surge]

yeah

[mortal cipher]

houston were the first to beat shock back to bacl

[raw ermine]

poor mer1t got ditched

[stuck radish]

wasnt atlanta the first team to beat shock a total of 2 times

[mortal cipher]

houston did it before

houston beat them in may then in summer showdown

atlanta has more wins against shock than shock does not sure about houston tho

[cedar oasis]

o yea

was that kariv

no wait

[raw ermine]

Yeah

[trim shadow]

atlanta actually signed nero

thats it

its litterally just seoul and atlanta for the championship

uv ojee nero and kai under one banner

[tame sphinx]

i stan atlanta

[tropic herald]

WAIT THEY GOT VENOM

GG

[trim shadow]

and fuckin boston is up there to

its gonna be another year of the west being op and shanghai fighting seoul for apac

[rare magnet]

venom

https://youtu.be/Kh8Q2iytzns

[willow tartan]

I guess the League didn't allow him to be named Sigma

[tawdry hamlet]

Yoo venom is sigma?

They basically got peak contenders of last year on their team

[willow tartan]

yep

[fallen turret]

Rankings of completed teams so far?

[willow tartan]

theres like

3 completed teams

[fallen turret]

I’d say Shanghai, glads, Atlanta, Dallas, Seoul, chengdu, Boston?

[willow tartan]

seoul still doesnt have an off tank

chengdu didnt do anything different

[trim shadow]

off tank?

[willow tartan]

yes

you want to see smurf play dva?

[trim shadow]

well there was nothing wrong with chengdu

[fallen turret]

Seoul will never have a tank line that makes any sense

[trim shadow]

it was just tank line letting them down

[willow tartan]

ehhh

no

[trim shadow]

and the occa

occasionally

[willow tartan]

they just need a better dps partner for leave

[trim shadow]

support missing

its a dps meta jinmu will be fine

[fallen turret]

Chengdu needs an off tank

Also glads need a third dps

[mortal cipher]

shanghai were completed day 1

[willow tartan]

they need another hitscan

[fallen turret]

Thoughts on these rankings?

[willow tartan]

in case double HS meta

which is why they sign diem 🙏

[mortal cipher]

yeah

so three widow specials

[willow tartan]

hah?

[trim shadow]

2 years later and we are still on diem starting copium

[willow tartan]

???

copium for what

[mortal cipher]

i had a scary thought if all the old shanghai went to dallas it would literally be Shanghai from the past vs the Present shanghai ever time

Diem Dding Fearless and Youngjin oh boy

[willow tartan]

envy

[mortal cipher]

isnt that the fuel org

[willow tartan]

no the off tank player

[mortal cipher]

ah

[north relic]

Boston still mid

[hot onyx]

https://youtu.be/8CdcCD5V-d8 big pickup

[willow tartan]

sizeable pickup

[north relic]

Shock seem to be doing pretty good

[trim shadow]

i think boston is gate keeper

[willow tartan]

what are they gate keeping

bottom 5?

[mortal cipher]

yeah

[hot onyx]

I think Boston would be lucky to achieve gatekeeper status

[north relic]

Honestly I think reign downgraded

[willow tartan]

nah

[hot onyx]

Nah roty Pelican was nothing, when Sigma plays tracer he pops off

[willow tartan]

sigma is like atlanta is finally given a good tracer player

[mortal cipher]

ah he was on the stage iii win roster

[twin bloom]

Upgrades supports tho

[willow tartan]

and you can have a main support off lucio

[mortal cipher]

dont tell me hes coming back too

[willow tartan]

now the real question is

will reign's tankline still just stay perma rush

[twin bloom]

Dafran, sharp, edison, and pelican????

[mortal cipher]

i mean reign is the rush team

[trim shadow]

lets be honest striker will carry the shit out boston and you guys fuckin know it thats my hot take striker will deadlift

[twin bloom]

Reigns had good tracer players since the beginning

Lmao

[willow tartan]

???

[north relic]

Ignore

[willow tartan]

he will deadlift, doesnt mean boston will be good

[north relic]

Quoted

Let’s see how well it ages

[willow tartan]

striker to perform first match deadlift in OWL

[north relic]

Only striker gets final blows

[willow tartan]

lol just KS for a whole match

[balmy wolf]

AHAHHAAHAHA

[willow tartan]

my gf would be dogshit on paris

[north relic]

[balmy wolf]

[willow tartan]

[north relic]

Double kill

[balmy wolf]

yeah his gf and his right to speak xDDDDDDD

[north relic]

I also meant that paris signed something that doesn’t exist

[willow tartan]

wait so did yaki just not get traded

[north relic]

I also want fleta lip leave diem

[mortal cipher]

[north relic]

So reign are no longer signing their roster is set in stone?

[willow tartan]

yes

maybe they sign someone if they get a real good opportunity

but thats probably their starter lineup

[mortal cipher]

yeah most likely

imo i see nero kai as the dps lineup

[earnest leaf]

Wonder who has the better sombra between Kai and Nero

Nero's last year the little we saw it was decent

[north relic]

does venom play anything other than tracer

[mortal cipher]

not sure

[earnest leaf]

I assume other hitscans

[mortal cipher]

probably

[earnest leaf]

but iirc when he played them they weren't as good as his tracer

[mortal cipher]

whod he play for

[earnest leaf]

Odyssey?

[hot onyx]

Odyssey yes

[mortal cipher]

ah

[next mesa]

Wait who's venom

Is it sigma

Oh okay it's sigma

Basically he's a tracer one trick

Doesn't matter because Kai is there

His tracer

Is fucking disgusting

Literally 1v6ed AT

[mortal abyss]

Venoms tracer is god tier

[trim shadow]

i just remembered

was sigma that tracer in hybrid goats that absolutely fucked?

or shield meta

[cedar oasis]

team still bad

[gusty rampart]

Reign will have a Tsuna incident

[balmy wolf]

but venom is actually good thats the difference

[leaden condor]

Damm shock actually managed to get all 3

[trim shadow]

right iris and pelican went to houston

so its actually the big 4 sorta

[humble yarrow]

I'm happy ultraviolet made it to the league

He was my favorite support in contenders

[tawdry hamlet]

Sigma 1v6 American tornado on 200 ping in gauntlet go brr

Insane tracer

Also why do people rate jinmu so high and blame Chengdu on the tanks

When Jinmu can't play his niche hero pool they lose lmao

[willow tartan]

also when coaches decide its okay for them to run genji

[trim shadow]

i mainly blamed supports but sometimes gaga will throw his brain out at times

[noble nexus]

Chengdu's supports are fine honestly

they needed a better OT and dedicated hitscan players that they could actually play

[trim shadow]

duality of being a chineese team

we have the best talent in china

unfortunately its what we have

[earnest leaf]

Because he got to force his two trick heroes most season

He can play sombra decently, and a very good pharah

Outside of that he is beaten out by any competent fdps

and no I don't care about his genji

dogshit hero

[noble nexus]

if Chengdu had LiGe and LiGe didn't have issues with mental health they'd be much better

yeah Jinmu is fine as long as they aren't fielding him as their 2nd dps every match because outside of pharah sombra genji he isn't good

and genji is barely meta

pharah was meta for a bit this season but hasn't really been played all that much outside of that

but realistically chengdu could make some decent improvements with the chinese talent available

[twin bloom]

Sigma is good at the game

[tropic herald]

sigma is actually insane

[plush grail]

sigma male

[willow tartan]

my degeneracy status has increased

[worn falcon]

the cowboy

[north relic]

kai better probably

[next mesa]

Listen

Just let this venom kid instalock tracer

Won't regret

I wonder who toronto is gonna get for fdps

[willow tartan]

diem better be signed in the next week

[next mesa]

in the next MINUTE

[willow tartan]

refreshing liquipedia until diem is on a team

[trim shadow]

yall should know by now owl scouts arent all there in the head

[final musk]

Wait so… aspen hasn’t been signed? Really?

[next mesa]

why would she tho

moth fdgod masaa on the market

not to mention this year unlucky 3 godly korean ms

[north relic]

isnt aspen fs

idk though

[next mesa]

she's ms but plays bap

[tiny pollen]

aspen would only be for a marketable player

imo

[final musk]

Counterpoint: violet still has a fucking contract.

[next mesa]

oh you're just trolling

[final musk]

Am I though?

[twin bloom]

Yeah

[willow tartan]

there's also chinese talent if any NA team ever decides to tap into that

[next mesa]

yes

theres one thats really good

i forgot his name

hyunjae or something

on blg

[willow tartan]

any team thats not hangzhou guangzhou chengdu or shanghai sign a chinese player challenge

[next mesa]

is apr1ta even getting promoted

if not can he go to a banger team

[willow tartan]

why would he not get promoted

i guess if they wanna commit to jimmy

theyll prob be tossed around

[next mesa]

because they still have all their dps

including tarocookie

[willow tartan]

fuck it, since ow2 is making tanks more dpsy just have jinmu leave jimmy tarocookie and aprita as your starting roster

[earnest leaf]

please no

don't let dps players on tank

People have this weird notion that since dps players are really good mechanically, they'll do better than tank players in ow2

since tanks will be more like dps

But I don't think someone even like leave is gonna gap fearless or smurf or guxue on winston

or gap gaga or fate on ball

[willow tartan]

???

thats crazy talk

[next mesa]

Leave ball really good tho

Hehe

[barren quest]

Whip out the Leave Rein

[vestal grotto]

I'm in the Glads discord and we are interrogating Halo rn

Patiphan might go to LA but we have our suspicions

[raw ermine]

no

no he def won't go to glads

[worn falcon]

Decay zarya

[trim shadow]

i thought she went back to contenders cause i saw her listed on a team

unless shes still with team but lft owl

[somber latch]

Wait sigma played for Odyssey

Right?

[next mesa]

yes

[worthy void]

damn

toronto kinda stacked

and atl too

[tawdry hamlet]

Florida is making an outluls roster kek

mid as fuckkk

with lots of western players

[willow tartan]

mirror is vietnamese i thought

western roster, first players are arabic, vietnamese and korean

hmmmm

[tawdry hamlet]

He is half Latvian and half Vietnamese but he lives in America and might have been born there I'm not sure

[mortal cipher]

he speaks english well but that doesnt matter

[tawdry hamlet]

🤯 either way Florida midhem

[mortal cipher]

[tawdry hamlet]

But yeah no Florida is looking amazing so far

[mortal cipher]

thats it so far

checkmate was questionable

[fallen turret]

Valiant

[tawdry hamlet]

Heh he isn't wrong

[fallen turret]

Is chengdu the only non-mixed roster that’s not Korean?

[turbid cargo]

Wait, is Diem LFT?

[willow tartan]

yes

[fallen turret]

I love how moth jecse masaa and fdgod are all fa atm

Although moth hasn’t posted an lft post

[somber latch]

realisticly

would shock train Proper/FiNN for heroes that him and finn dont cover

or are they gonna sign someone else

[gusty rampart]

He doesn't need to

A team will pick him up

He's really good

[fallen turret]

What if he’s retiring?

[gusty rampart]

He'd say

[forest raven]

I mean with Finn Viol2t exists

[gusty rampart]

Proper looks nuts

SF Stacked

[willow tartan]

viol2t will start anyways

[forest raven]

Double fs

[gusty rampart]

Mayhem is the only team that looks not great so far

[willow tartan]

No. Viol2t lucio fulltime ms

[forest raven]

[gusty rampart]

I'd rather die

[somber latch]

wait not finn

[gusty rampart]

[somber latch]

i meant kilo

[willow tartan]

that would be so hilarious

[gusty rampart]

Finn is support

[willow tartan]

shock org sign proper and kilo

[gusty rampart]

Kilo is DPS

[willow tartan]

puts viol2t on ms anyways

[forest raven]

Has kilo played sombra at all in contenders

Because I imagine Proper would be the tracer player

[gusty rampart]

I forgor 💀

[forest raven]

They'll sign more dps anyway

[willow tartan]

i want them to first sign an ms

[earnest leaf]

ngl MS is the last thing they need

[somber latch]

yeah i got them mixed up

[willow tartan]

inb4 making assumption about meta

[earnest leaf]

would be nice to have another

but it should be lower priority

[willow tartan]

??

another

like another from 0 or

[earnest leaf]

a third flexible dps would be better

another as in another support

[gusty rampart]

Sign Moth lol

[earnest leaf]

I doubt moth want's to go back

He left for his own reasons already

why would he go back to a team he's gonna be riding the bench on

[gusty rampart]

If Moth hated Shock he wouldn't have stayed on for 3 years

He went to Glads for big bucks

[earnest leaf]

You can like a team while you're on it and dislike it's future direction

I would say getting moth back is as likely as shock getting smurf back

[noble nexus]

I doubt he’d ride the bench tho assuming FS isn’t meta 24/7

[gusty rampart]

Who else is going to sign Moth lul

[earnest leaf]

Lucio or mercy would have to be a mainstay meta wise for moth to be starting

if they aren't, run viol2t/finn for double FS

[gusty rampart]

I wonder if Shock will sign any more tanks

[willow tartan]

yes they will

[earnest leaf]

I could see them signing another

[noble nexus]

I’d hope they would

[gusty rampart]

NYXL getting Kellan is a humongous W

Same with Myunbong

[earnest leaf]

I could also see them not signing another

[gusty rampart]

Yaki is the biggest W

[noble nexus]

Someone to play some of the off tanks

[gusty rampart]

Super is flexible

[earnest leaf]

I just want shock to have a very solid starting 6

none of the roster musical chair shit

[forest raven]

No shit they're gonna sign another tank

[noble nexus]

Not flexible enough to play any off tanks at a championship level

[forest raven]

But I can't imagine super not being in most of the time

[gusty rampart]

I love FDGod but he was not a good addition to Shock

[earnest leaf]

even if it means just keeping super in 99% of the time

[willow tartan]

"starting 6"

[earnest leaf]

yea blizz dogshit

so starting 5 sadly

But we have to remember every other MT now has to flex over to every tank now

or OT player

[gusty rampart]

FDGod is a perfect example of a one trick in OWL who while is good could only play Lucio so Viol2t was played for MS for flexibility

[earnest leaf]

And we have no idea what tanks will be viable

[gusty rampart]

Teams are required to have 6 players

Before the season starts

Like it's an actual requirement

[willow tartan]

we we do. the viable tanks will be the new ones

[earnest leaf]

imo shock should really only sign a cheap MS and a third flexible dps

and run with that

[next mesa]

Nyxl looks pretty good so far

[noble nexus]

if the rumours are true they seem decent

[tacit skiff]

what tanks are still available?

the shock still need at least another

[forest raven]

[devout path]

Bad take as fd had a really good brig and mercy

Not a one trick

The closest there is to a one trick in owl is jinmu

And jinmu is like a two trick

Unless I’m forgetting someone

[willow drum]

hmmm

1 tricks?

idk if there are any

[devout path]

There aren’t

[tacit skiff]

super can play Rein and Genji

that's it

[devout path]

See two tricks

[mortal abyss]

Chipsa

[last nimbus]

haha put yznsa and necros and all the otps in owl! theyre so good! omg!

[willow drum]

chipsa isnt in owl

anymore

ysnza is also decent at echo

[last nimbus]

two trick still

[willow drum]

but not an 1 trick or an 1tp

[last nimbus]

2trick is still very dependable on the meta

if your hero pool is that small

[willow drum]

You could 2 trick

Tracer Sombra

and you'd be perfectly fine

But if you only 1 tricked Sombra

then that'd be eh

[trim shadow]

excuse me

paris signed glister

what the fuck

[willow drum]

wow

damn not messing around

[worn falcon]

Glister pog

With eu people

Poor glister

[hot onyx]

Poor Glister

Deserves better than Daan

[last nimbus]

i dont think daan is a bad tank, especially with how he played with all the messed up shit paris had to go through this season

he prob couldnt adapt faster to the playstyle of new members than kaan/naga/drido

[novel owl]

muze went to defiant

gonna miss him

[gusty rampart]

Hog? Winston? Orisa?

[tacit skiff]

washed player, striker hs is better

[gusty rampart]

I thought you were gonna say Fire is better

[tacit skiff]

fire is better than everyone in the league

not just glister

[tacit skiff]

so when does sznesports get our own owl team

[gusty rampart]

Soon

We will curb stomp Dragons in OWL 2022 Grand Finals

[tacit skiff]

as the prophecy foretold

[plush grail]

YO WHAT

We Managed to snag glister?????

[gusty rampart]

Zamnnnnn

[cedar oasis]

Ew are there actualy paris fans out there

[plush grail]

Yes

Stfu

[vagrant cargo]

Paris prolly get a korean tankline

[gusty rampart]

Onigod>Glister LOL

[final musk]

NGL, Glads lineup looking Shanghai-ish right now.

[tacit skiff]

Silver3 to Shock

[raw ermine]

glister to paris def wasn't something I expected

[vagrant cargo]

nice bait

[vagrant cargo]

eh disagree they downgraded on HS MT

[gusty rampart]

Not bait

It's just true

[final musk]

i dont know man, dva main going to MT shouldn't be hard transition

[mortal cipher]

i mean birdring is still better

[vagrant cargo]

muze>reiner as of now, reiner played vs shittas while muze was top 5 at worsg in OWL and has shown great flexability

and if we compare them in tier 2 muze was way better there too

[mortal cipher]

and hes now on TOronto

[vagrant cargo]

yes w mobydik and kdg

Toronto look rlly good

[mortal cipher]

yeah rn its only muze twlight and Heesu

[vagrant cargo]

hotba for solo tank is fine tbh and twilight chorong heesu muze is a disgusging core

[mortal cipher]

oh rioght forgot hotba

[vagrant cargo]

and chorong

[mortal cipher]

oh

oop

[vagrant cargo]

chorong is insane

Best FA MS after fastro

[mortal cipher]

is it going to be chorong twilight

[willow drum]

yes

[mortal cipher]

we now need a final dps

[vagrant cargo]

give us choisewhan

[willow drum]

LOL op team

[vagrant cargo]

choisewhan is insane

[mortal cipher]

imagine if its a return of the king player

[final musk]

reiner's just gonna sit. don't worry.

once it becomes obvious that if everything is a main tank, people that can manage the stupid apm that is playing dva will be the best mt's.

[twin bloom]

Reiner better MT for OW 2.

Trust

[next mesa]

game change so much some bronze kid will be best MT in ow2

[trim shadow]

this looks like a banger

we need more like this

although kevster onigod might be on the same team 😳

[earnest leaf]

Glister to paris is unexpected

Jmac buff I guess

[next mesa]

their roster looks cute

[hot onyx]

Clestyn to Paris? 😳

[plush grail]

I'm confused tho

Did glister accept a 50k contract

Or did Paris pay big bucks

[earnest leaf]

doubt he got 50k

[next mesa]

100k+3 michelin star meals

[earnest leaf]

But paris wasn't even the highest bidder

So my guess is glister wanted to play under jmac

[next mesa]

100k is small money

for glister

[earnest leaf]

Homie meta is op this year

[next mesa]

smurf and jjonak joined seoul because of profit

🙏 🙏

[noble nexus]

Homie meta bringing smurf and jjonak to seoul and now glister to paris

[next mesa]

profit carrying irl and in game too

[earnest leaf]

Shock getting half of o2 blast because they wanted to play together

[flat ingot]

If you are new to owl this sentence can make sense in such a wrong way lol

[plush grail]

pog we managed to sign a good player

• we have good coaching

+we have a good team environment

major W for paris fans

[vagrant cargo]

as fsr as i know avalla said they got a higher Budget previously and that they went for a Star Player

Also as flameknight said not the highest bidder

[last nimbus]

yes. previous season they barely had any budget. with the leaving of 2 players mid-seaason they had to sign 2 50k contracts

[vagrant cargo]

i know

[last nimbus]

i dont know how well glister will perform though

since paris is mostly western

but my guess is he did well in tryouts

afaik, he didnt have any problems with comming with shock

[next mesa]

avalla and jmac both korean they'll be fine

avalla korean right or im trippin

[willow tartan]

doesnt matter cause shes not a coach anyways

[earnest leaf]

Avalla is korean yea

she can translate it pretty well also

oh well technically she's australian and lived in new zealand

I wonder if paris and london are going to try and go to NA this season

So there isn't the hawaii conundrum waiting and better ping

[willow tartan]

you would hope so

given that glister isnt in europe

[earnest leaf]

I also want eu fans to stop crying about ping
