Yeah, because Mistakes was obviously speaking Russian when playing with 123.

Will have to see about the Koreans and how much support they can get to attain a functional level of English.

#14 - Yeah, because 3 koreans obviously spoke English when playing in Korea.

Not sure I understand your point, Mistakes obviously had to speak English in 123, and I already addressed the Koreans possibly needing to learn English. And surprisingly enough some Koreans actually do know English! Who knew right?

But feel free to elaborate on your comment.

Welp, I'd love to see a show match between Boston and Seoul. I could be wrong but it feels like they're going to get absolutely shit stomped this season.

This roster is not that bad imho....but why snow and note? ( snow as holder expecially)...also 3 hitscan ? ( maybe a striker less and a projectile more improved that)......( also if they take shake as player probably the team is better than that but no prob). Anyway i am really happy for Mistakes and Kellex: they deserved a team....Also Gamsu and Kalios are good players. Their problem are flex support and projectile...wait to see the others roster before have a rankings.Positive things is their coach staff...i think is really good.

70% of players in OWL will be korean from the looks of things.
i hope for mistakes this team works out cuz he deservers to be in a top team.

Indeed, going to be fun if we get a season 2 in OWL with the home cities in action and see how many of the yanks turn up to watch all the Korean players.

Happy to see Kellex getting the nod!

Like others I'm not cultured enough to know a few of these players. Will certainly be interesting to see how they work together especially with the language barrier. To me some decisions do seem curious and quite questionable but exciting nonetheless.

I'm honestly skeptical about this roster too, but they're getting so much free hate holy moly, it's actually sad.
Snow might not be a known flex support, but it's the same with Sleepy on SF, not many people know about them so let's at least give them the benefit of the doubt.
Also have to agree with the lack of projectile here, but HuK said they signed 2 extra players pending something (most likely visa or OWL agreement), so I'm sure they'll fill that position. Unless, as Poi said, Striker takes it.

All in all, not a superstar roster, but I love me some underdog stories, hope they can compete with the beasts in S1.
Also that 76 skin is the shit.

My comment was before Huk said they will add more players :). I agree with you 100% and i also think they will add a flex support (and a projectile) cause if HuK wanted Shake(but him said he wanted go coach) so probably we have another supp ( imho specialized with ana/zen while Snow will go with the mercy and i hope he will surpise us :)).
HuK also said they wanted players to be good on playing togheter...so maybe they can surprise us(and i hope so). Imho better see the new adds before talkjng: with a good projectile and a good ana/zen they even can be better than SF( at least the team without super and sinatraa bur we have to see also their last unknowed add)

Yeah 100%, some people just riding the hate train. I mean there's a reason they went with this roster, maybe they have really good synergy, also one of the few that incorporated EU players.

So first impression might be that they'll get rolled, but I so fucking hope that they'll smoke some kids.

Also HuK just said that after discussing with Shake, he said it was for his best interest to move to a coaching position.

You never know though, the roster could end up mixing perfectly together and play great.

I love the city of boston, so I have optimism.

I also had optimism about the last 25 or so NRG rosters, but look how that worked out.

:(

Imho nrg roster were having lersonality issues with a lot of super pro players....maybe them without any outstanding players can have a great synergy.... i know this probably are only hope...but better hope than not :)...(also congratulation (even if a little bit late xD) for the 4th third of star my friend :))

It's a shame we won't get to see Shake as a player, he used to ball out consistently back on coL etc.

Yikes. Well these guys are going to make for some boring games. They aren't going to win a map the entire season.

As always, Roster announcement is Hype af, Harsha pointed it out well in his Video already but even if this Team does better than expected they will most likely end in the lower half of the League because of the already known insane strong rosters. But for some reason i have sympathy for them (maybe cuz europeans^^) so i hope they will be able to give us a good showing and some upsets :)

Seems like one of the 2 new add will be clockwork.....what the hell is with all guys wbo wanted 4 hitscan(i know Striker can Doomfist and DreamKazper can genji and phara but come on). If they only added a projectile and a flex supp their team was a lot better but now they are forced with one role in wich they will lack. (I have nothing about clocwork to be clear...is just the whole thing that make me mad)
