Time to see the the local london lads PogChamp

#SHIELDSUP

It will be hard for LAG to match against the London Squad !

I'm excited to see how LAG will do. I'm rooting for these guys because of Bischu, Remix and S4.

I chose the LA Gladiators to be my City because they have a really nice mix of Players so i obviously hope for a good match of them but it will definitly be hard^^

Those LAG flags though PogChamp

The expected line-up is unknown so the listed players is random at the moment, SF Shock has Super listed as their starter but hes underage and can't play.

damn just thinking of a profit , rascal with birdring tripple dps makes me wet

The cool fact is that LS has 2 teams and since we european will almost only watch London for timing reason at least give us more variety

That's true. :)

Only problem I have is that besides the sick name (gotta love the Spitfires, such sexy flying beasts), I'm not to much invested in the roster, which surely is top 1-2 for OWL, but...

I'm an EU guy I like to root for the underdogs, possibly European ones. ;)

teams need to agree upon not using mercy in OWL and i would be happy as fuck

goose is loose

Me too :). Underdogs and europeans for the win...and if they are both: party hard.

london spitfire is basically either old kdp or gc busan

Lets go LSP SwiftRage

Over 3 minutes Poggers!

DESTROYED

#finland

I take back everything I ever said about OWL standings. I don’t know what to think anymore

S4 & Shaz the carrys of LAG.
And Asher is nuts!

As expected, total domination. It's just the other way around LUL

Xeon [#17]

Lets go LA Gladiators <3

Always said LA Gladiators gets underestimated the most out of the "new built teams" ;D
And i dont understand why, the tank duo of IRemix and Bischu + the Supportduo of Shaz and Biggoose is a really strong core + the 3 dps are all top lvl and with good consistency aswell i think^^ They might lose the next 3 maps but i expect them to come near the top6 for sure :)

OMEGALUL

Shaz BlessRNG

wot hapned

the c9 curse is real

OWL teams look good, though i think Gladiators and Shock really won the playerpicks tbh

edit, forgot DF since they are stacked

Taichi [#34]

S4 & Shaz the carrys of LAG.
And Asher is nuts!

I'd say Asher & Shaz the carrys

Im sorry but the London lineup should be illegal, how the fuck can you call yourself London Spitfire and not have a single English player on the team.... how am I supposed to resonate with my mother land if the team reppin" is full of koreans

becouse uk esports is d ead

becouse uk esports is d ead

doesn"t matter, they are represting England there needs to be English players

Surefour still with C9 in spirit

Oh boi the KDP/LSF was crazy on horizon oO

Can wait to see the former GC Busan waking up and killing the LAG

baecer [#45]

English players represented England in the overwatch world cup, this is club overwatch, so each club just want the best player, just like any premier league team would.

darnit, didn't know it started earlier today, is there a way I can watch the Junkertown game?

BRUCEUZULUL

replay will prob come to youtube or owl site i guess

LAG dont have americans and Dallas only has one :/
i prefer high level overwatch with koreans representing non-korean teams than low tier overwatch with players respecting the nationality of the team

I like that response it makes a lot of sense, thank you for explaining
It's just seeing not one lad on the team is a bit disheartening.

so LDN using their full KDP & GC Busan roster

SKYTRiXSHA [#51]

It'll be on OWL site later tonight/tomorrow if it's the same as yesterday's games

So when a soccer team in England signs a Spanish, German, Brazilian, Argentinian, or African player its ok? It really doesn't matter

first map is just courtesy ok

can't wait to see valkia play pharah for the london spitfire

Ok, I missed the first two maps, but I just saw the Gladiators getting absolutely slaughtered at Ilios. WTF happened at Junkertown? Does GC Busan hate the pirateship strat or what?

ZTJ [#58]

first map is just courtesy ok

Right, cause LAG not even bothering with Mercy on 2nd map isn't

GC Busan Squad just seems to be not as good as the C9KD Squad.

Welp. Proud of my LAG boys. <3

LordOfHorns [#57]

So when a soccer team in England signs a Spanish, German, Brazilian, Argentinian, or African player its ok? It really doesn't matter

in that instance its okay because clubs have to follow the rules such as having x amount of illegible english players... so even the most diversified team such as Arsenal still have english players that english people can resonate with

seems the Mercy nerfs hit GC Busan harder than other teams

Did Shaz just carry LAG? Playing Zenyatta AND Genji? dude's a monster.

NA PRODUCTION LUL

When you beat the favorites without a mercy. I knew LAG was underrated, but damn

WOOHOO BYE BYE BUSAN, man do I love the gladiators

wow
wow wow wow

Wow, I never thought I would see this. Very well fought by Los Angeles. I think they could be in the running for the title. Too early to tell of course but this was very impressive

Loco [#64]

That's the risk of picking up a team that suddenly appeared from nowhere, they tend to just be one-patch teams. However the Spitfire roster also has most of the Kongdoo squad on there as well, so I think with practice they should do fine

I'm proud of my boys...

wow the c9 curse is actually real

Generation1 [#65]

Shaz is nutty, was really glad when he got himself an OWL spot

London Spitfire enacting the perfect Brexit strategy towards the end there, proud of the lads

Drex [#73]

wow the c9 curse is actually real

lets not judge to early this is pre season and doesnt actually matter for shit :D

Apex winners who stomped the two best team in SK vs 1 young finnish flex supp

that was a great ending, nice comeback, and finally no mercy yesss

wow i was expecting a 4-0 from london, where can i watch the vod of this

GC BUSAN LUL

NoMercY [#79]

wow i was expecting a 4-0 from london, where can i watch the vod of this

No vods because of mlgtv sadly :(

NoMercY [#79]

VODs go up on the OWL website after the broadcast. Not sure on timescales but think it is fairly prompt.

NoMercY [#79]

Will be on the overwatch league website in a few hours time probably

Y'all doubted when I said that Spitfire would not be as good as everyone expected.
Now, I didn't expect Gladiators to be that good, but I CALLED Spitfire falling out. I'm happy.

As a second note: in order for Spitfire to perform better, they need to start that core of Kongdoo as much as possible. GC Busan has already lost it. I think Profit/Hooreg are alright, but the Kongdoo roster combined with Fury could actually bring them back near the top.

Woah!

That stupidity to have double squads internally competing with and replacing each other will not enhance the team's competitiveness but lead to disaster in Spitfire. I don't know who want this ridiculous strategy but I am very sure of its result based on previous experiences in other sports.

I guess london can blame the loss on LAG ;)

Agree, looks like someone thought "double Koreans, double the win", well persons aren't numbers.

And IF they really had to do have 2 full rosters, why not a KO main team and an actual EU "B" Team?

Oh well surprised by the result anyway.

LordOfHorns [#57]

So when a soccer team in England signs a Spanish, German, Brazilian, Argentinian, or African player its ok? It really doesn't matter

No english FOOTBALL team is allowed to have an entirely non english squad. There is a minimum quota of homegrown players.

They've mentioned that at the start the teams will play separately before they gel together. Once they've known each other better they'll mix players from both teams

Also both teams rotating in for the same match is probably only for the preseason, since everyone needs to play

i feel they'd have won more maps with birdring/rascal. i could see that being a reoccurring issue with large rosters. where the players with less results are just almost never playing when the season really begins
