Since on the 6th/7th starts the Open Division i thought it was a nice idea to make a thread presentation for the best team in the Open Division.
The teams are now looked but roster dont so there is the possibility to change the roster until the 22 of January but i think the team will pretty almost remain this ones.
The fight will be high: this time the prize is the contenders spot. But since seems like only GIgganti Bazooka Puppiez and London Academy seems to be the one who will mantain their spot ( maybe 123 return with Dennia?He was the spot owner? Gamers Origins seems a little difficult since they disband and same for Eunited and Team SIngularity) leaving open 9 to 5 spot free.
The biggest enemy for this team will be the schedule: since there is no Tier system and the Schedule will be probably random ( more than 300 teams are going to play this season) all results in how much you'll be lucky hoping to find less good team possible. This system could make for example in the worst option possible the 100th best team to playoffs if he has the lucky to find few big team and maybe the 4th out ( if they meet 1st 2nd and 3th). But since seems pretty diffucul to resolve this problem teams have to play at their best possible: with only 5 matches each lose means the removal of the summit ( in this case top 8 for the trials). But stop talking and let's see the impressive amount of quality this season.

Top Teams

  • CIS HOPE(Unfixed,Txao,Kensi,Sharyk,Engh,MayN): will be these the right time to reach the top for our fellows russian friends? With Unfixed back to dps( probably on projectile) all his possible....but along with the phara god we have a long list of succesfull people. Starting from Kensi( recently Bazooka Puppiez and before LdLc and Anox) who is on the scene from a long time with his hitscan heropool. Txao( recently on MKers and before on Tornado Rox) will be the offtank of the team: even if more recently he showed his ability with the tracer he could be considered a main Zarya and he will make you remeber why he is considered so higly. Sharyk ( Eunited Anox) is another top tier player who will be a pillar on the roster. Closing with Engh( Seqta) and MayN: a support duo who played togheter for some times and his finally ready to be in a good team.
  • TBA Morte's Team(Kruise,Shax,Vizility,Tonic,Finnsi,Epzz): this team maybe give apparently some heavy problems ( like the phara and tonic rein) but is without doubt the team to beat in this competion. With a mix of experienced players and new god Morte build up an impressing team starting from the dps duo formed by Vizility( Team Netherland and Mosaic) and Shax (ex Copenhagen Flames). Maybe not all know Shax but he dominated the european T2 scene as flex dps on Copenhagen Flames is one of the most skilled dps avaible moving from flex dps to hitscan he will not be a great difference for him: he will stomp anyway. More doubts comes from his mate Vizility who has a great genji but his phara is unknown: only time will let us know. The tank duo is probably the best in the Open Division: coming from 123 Tonic and Finnsi bring to the team one of the best 3 wiston out of OWL and a T1 offtank. In the support role we find Kruise back on main support duty but always with his skill while his partner in crime coming from Red Reserve and many other team finnaly has enter a T1 team and he will shows what he is able to do.
  • Mosaic eSports( Vallutaja, ChrisTFer, Fisher,eMil, Luddee,kodak): solid backline and carry frontline will make this team big. While Fisher( Team SIngularity,Hammers eSports) and Vallutaja(Reunited Eunited etc) (both easily OWL level) are certainties along with the UK tank ChrisTFer, eMil Luddee and Kodak can be more to dicovered. While the Mendo's brother has already a big and solid background in OW Kodak is pretty new on the scene, he pass from flex to flex supp and no one have seen him play but from Chris' words he is a good player. eMil conclude the team with his T2 experience ( both In EU and NA). A team with a lot of possible carryer have to shows his solidity: we will se soon how they will perform.
  • Squid1231234(Tseini,Sharp,Veineless,evojke,Decod,Nexx): possibly the best western not OWL duo formed by experience and potential: Tseini( enVision, 2stronk) and Sharp( Can we end early?) will carry this team hard. Helped by the most underrated support duo Veineless( Team Expert, Ninjas With Attitude, Team Dignitas) and evojke(Ninjas With Attitude, Team Dignitas)) and the ex Team Expert players Decod (norvegian main tank) and Nexx. While supports amd dps are untouchable, doubts may come from the tank especcialy Nexx, but a main offtank is something rare and precious: dont sleep on him and them.
  • Eagle Gaming(KnOxXx,Kriw,Leaf,Nico,Hyp, Pipou): after the announcements of 6 more players the team is ready to fight. Hyp and Pipou from GO as support. Kriw Leaf and Nico as dps/flex and KnoxXx as tank. Rogue+Gamers Origins+Iceblock: what could gone wrong? Time to being back to the top for Kriw, for Nico and KnOxXx to have the mid season sign. Possibly top 3 teams had to manage well his 3 projectile players.
  • Those Guys( Fusion,Crusade,bock1,Kragie,Hafficool, another unnoannounced player): with one of the best flex supp player ( bock1) and his ex teammate Hafficool ( 123,Fnatic, NWA) we can expected good things. Crusade( Cyclone) and Fusion( Mosaic Nerdrage) are both really solid player. And Kragie is a big brain dps. Even without knowing who is the last dps we can easily assume that these is probably the roster with less weak points. Izzy make a great job!

Contender Teams

  • Angry Titans(Onigod,Ellivote,Erki,LullSiSH,AFoxx,immortal): A team that after some shuffle seems to have finally found his final form. With the first place in the last season of Open Division ( with Vizility instead of Erki) they have showed what they can do. The core (LullSiSH, Ellivote and AFoxx) already played togheter for a lot of months dominating the T2 scene under Vivi's adventure and now are ready to Finnaly find the succes even in T1 thanks to their teammates : Onigod is one of the most experienced dps in europe playing also in Korea with Reunited, immortal is a big brain player and Erki is the real bet. While he always showed is ability with Roadhog now he seems ready to improve on the dps heroes and if he archieve that they will became one of the most insidious teams to play against.
  • Golden Sausage ( Noomi,Surya,Izzy,Scaler,Wat7,Polly): the team has been togheter since this summer and they have waited a long time for this opportunity. After the departure of 2 players( Nuja and Nlaaer) they found in Noomi (ex Tier 3 and various team) and Surya ( recently on oompaloompas) their new teammates. Under the watch of the team coach Xeon one of the most interesting european talent is developing his skill as flex support, coming from Team Singularity Gorillaz Scaler can be one of the top european players with the right enviroments. Leaded in game by the experiences of Izzy and the flexibility of Polly this team can make great things ( they always were at the top of T2). They also have a superstar who played under Team Dignitas and Ninjas With Attitude: the austrian player Wat7 is one of the best main tank not in the OWL avaible right now. Watch them out and you wont regret that!
  • ENCE esports(OLBAA,Ruape,Lalli): Ence rebuild permitt the return of Ruape ( Helsincky Reds, Royal Bandits) and Lalli( Helsincky Reds).The shuffle in the finnish scene could be considered as a new breath of air and Ence will make you see why is succesfull.
  • JigSaw(lateks,Kafee,Rubikon,Leodedzz,Casper,matth,Bromas, Vonethil): reunion of players back into the game. Starting with the main tank lateks ( Red Reserve, Can we end early?) this team is full of skill. He is great both on Wiston and on Reinhartd and his coordination with one of the most young and intersting talent Leodedzz will make dissappear the fact he has been far off the scene for a while. Kafee(ZenGaming) matth( LFT OWL) and Casper( various T2 teams) are all here to make people see how much they value and Bromas(Mosaic Dignitas Creation eSports) to invert the negative momentum he is having. Last but not least the experienced support duo formed by Rubikon and Vonethil. Lot of talent for this team.
  • Black Phoenix(fighter, carnifex, Nisa, Lollao,Bimbz, rzd): Italian team with 4/6 of the national team. The two best players are Carnifex in the hitscan role with his superb Windowmaker and Nisa(Mkers) on the flex support. The latter is a godtier mercy player with a great ana and a grat zen: a T1 players always underrated. Lollao is another good players thanks to his positiong and shotcalling especially on Lucio. Bimbz(Mkers) probably return from a main support role to a main tank one and i have faith in him. First experience for rzd in a big team outside Italy but he is a solid player: he will make it. Fighter will be the X Factor: really skilled player who in the past become invisible when the things becomes difficult in europe. If he finnaly solved this problem this team can go far ( also thanks to the coach SharPPP)
  • Dose(BenBest,Hidan,Dids,Hunni,Hayko): Probably the best european Rein out of OWL( BenBest previously GO) and Hidan( Luminosity Misftis) are the superstars of this team. Both are borderline to the OWL and they will make us see that no doubt. Supported by the good offtank Hayko( Iceblock) Hunni (previously Grand Danois) and Dids ( a lot of T2 teams) they are one of the strongest team with the Zarya Rein. Keep absolutely an eye on them OWL material here.
  • STRANGLEMENT (crems, PoPiFresh, MarineLord, Chubz, Fae, Linepro): some names that made T2 great like Chubz ( another underrated maint tank in the west) , MarineLord (flexsupp) and Fae. 2 spanish who already played in T1 tournaments: PoPiFresh(dps) under Team Singularity spot and linepro with LaserKittenz. Quality players for a quality team.

Outsider Teams

  • NYYRIKKI Esports(sami,SKIPAH): the new interation of this Finnish team has not great names on paper, but they have made some strong try outs and with this brand new roster they will make people see why Finnish are soo good at OW.
  • Portal Of Gaming(1) (Valmaster,dempsi, Funnyastro,Gustav):while they have to finalize their roster this org new to overwatch seems to have put togheter an interesting mix of T2/T3 expert leaded by one of the most underrated European tank Valmaster and the swedish player Gustav.
  • Portal Of Gaming(2) (nerfdd, Phat, Moursi) : some good names. Phatt and nerfdd are provved good players while Moursi is but not really proven yet. If they put togheter the two team they can really have a competent team.
  • Wizards eSports Club(vinanrra,haZer): this spanish team and T2/T3 are one of the most iconic duo. After the departure of the french players( veteranjr and Valmaster) people can think that they are going down but this is not what is happening: the fight will never stop for the Wizards.
  • Kaser Littenz(Lind): Lead by Lind this danish team is making his way out the lower scene to go for the top. They actually need something more to aspire the contenders but thanks to the absence of the language barriers and their individual skill they are making great improvement as a team.
  • cmonBruh(kangakanga, Akke): maybe not one of the scariest team but they have 2 great players who had experience and skill and can lead this team to a good final placement.
  • Wind and Rain(Pagh,EISSFELDT,Nuja): what an amazing tracer( EISSFELTD previoulsy on Luminosity and AT) a danish main tank( Paghminister ex-CPHF) and a french flex( Nuja ex- Golden Sausage) make togheter? A great team.
  • Samsung Morning Stars( Najiny,Luft):togheter for a while they has always benn high in T2 scene. Trials are far but not that much. Also Najiny is a great player.
  • Team Equilibrium(Hinu,twidi,h3x,Chupe,Effix,Zave): some greats names in this team: really near to the team one tier above these they have to shows their individual skill at the maximum level.

Teams to look for:

  • Mantic0re
  • VTILTE
  • Capp8
  • Nemesis
  • Next Gaming(MrGertex)
  • AugmentedAuthority
  • TAKYON Last Rites
  • Oslo Lions
  • Koord Narwhals
  • NULL SECTOR
  • #RAKIDUSHAT
  • FC Lathi Menace
  • Leek Squad (Qvist)
  • Dolphin Bandits
  • Guess We’ll play (ottr, DixxyDix)
  • BIRB BOIS
  • YaLLa esports(not sure they will play)
  • Reawakened(Cerys not sure they will play)
  • I Need Feelings (Henzu)
  • nerf pharah plOx (MrBeck): MrBeck is one of the best upcoming flex supports, he will go far.
  • FortisGG OW
  • Untitled(Kyb the french one)

Actually i thinl that 8 teams of that are gonna go contenders...for this i hope they will make trials and dont take just the first 8 in( for the schedule thing to try counter disadvantage schedule)....Also the fact T2/T3/T1.5/T1 players are mixed togheter make a lot of good teams who can make it...will be sad see some of this teams out but unfprtunatly the place are counted.

YaLLa disbanded FeelsBadMan, but the core players are still together playing for Inferno Game Zone. they're still the best/uncontested in the middle east but i'm not sure if they'll sign up in open division.

I put it here, but for the EU finals, we could maybe run some sort of crowdfunding to convince someone to cast them this time around?

I know it sounds crazy, and I'm not speaking of huge sums, but let's say 3-5 EU/USD each and you get a nice gift for a willing caster...

I know, I know, but is just such a shame we can't see these teams fight!!!!

We could try to make a cast ourselves! But in any case i really like your idea and i will spend money for that...also i heard that a russian is trying to see if he can cast( well in russian but better than nothing in case)

Ps: Grazie :D

Hehe wish I could, but me casting anything would be worse than watching something in Russian, you would probably understand the words, but not sure how much sense they would make. :D

Let's see. :)

Thanks man! Yes i see that. Untitled( the team that beat them) is doing awesome: he already beated two contenders for the playoffs spot and has put both of them in a weird position since losing on the first 2 weeks means almost no more mistskes or out.
