An example of what I mean. None of SFS's players changed yet they keep jumping around.

McGravy plays a decent Tracer.

Dying with ult too often was one of the main criticisms against Rawkus in the World Cup too.

Any count with overall totals of Twitch + MLG + Korean/Chinese sites? I know lots of people watched on MLG b/c of the higher bitrate.

That's what the OWL site does and it looks pretty nice. https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/teams

On the matches page it would be great if the list of players for each team could be sorted alphabetically. When thumbing through the Maps tabs sometimes the player names jump around for no reason, making it harder to tell if a player was subbed in or not.

Dynasty
NYXL
Dallas Fuel
Spitfire
Gladiators
Outlaws
Uprising
Fusion
Valiant
Dragons
Shock
Mayhem

Bold predictions: Spitfire roster merge won't mesh, Uprising will exceed expectations (homer pick), Mayhem will be dead last due to everyone figuring them out, Shock will have chemistry issues in classic NRG form, Valiant tanks will underperform.

Damn, this is incredibly sad. He was one of my favorite OW personalities and brought a bit of spice into the game which was fun. Don't want to spread rumors at all, but his previous Tweets mentioned having tonsillitis and I've heard of people having complications from that, especially when they're older, very scary stuff. RIP Hulk.

There are really only two tiers: the top 4 (Dallas, Seoul, London, NY) and the rest. Anyone in the second tier can beat each other depending on how they're playing that day, I really don't think there is a huge gap between any team in this tier.

Also, I think the Boston roster will surprise a lot of you. Maybe it's a homer pick from me, but I wouldn't judge the skill of the players based on their previous teams. There are so many factors that play into team results and we're pretty much guessing at individual performance without a good way of accessing player statistics (apart from Winston's Lab).

Also, the interactive branding (!tmobilemvp voting in Twitch) is a really neat idea, I wonder how else esports will innovate sports advertising.

Jake is playing amazing but had at least three ults where he died almost instantly.

At this point I'm surprised teams haven't bought their players secret accounts lol.

Atlas from Bioshock -> changing a letter

Top4 NA does not mean top4 OWL.

I'm incredibly surprised that they took sleepy over Custa, thought for sure he was a lock for NRG.

It's amazing how well streaming and doing interviews help boost your public opinion. Personally I would take (in no particular order) Hidan, Custa, Roolf, Shake, uNKOE, Rawkus, Bani, Fahzix, Boombox, or some Koreans over him. There is a lot of good support talent still out there.

Missing Seagull to nV

Surefour
Sinatraa
Xepher
Mesr
Custa
Adam

Excited to see this. Tviq is a good Tracer of course, but it felt like he was stuck on that role with the previous lineup. Should be free to play a lot more heroes now.

NRG should pick up S4 and Sinatraa :3

There doesn't seem to be a sense of urgency with them at all (don't need results until OWL) which I find a bit concerning with the org. Do they expect the team to magically perform better when the time comes? They've already missed out on several really good FA's.

Dafran was a Genji main for comp seasons 1&2 before switching to mostly hitscan, according to his play stats.

Well, this is a pretty disappointing thread to read through. His entire argument is a classic example of "correlation does not imply causation". The thing that bothers me most is how he thinks he's 100% right, but I guess that's a common trait of the ignorant/dumb.

I really don't understand why they have Surefour playing Dva and Hog when Xepher played a good off-tank yesterday...

They definitely looked to be tryharding by running their normal dive comp when Seagull was on Bastion.

Love the new feature. One design nit I have is that the section title should be aligned with the content start, rather than the start of the cell.

DPS: Surefour
DPS: Seagull
Tank: Harbleu
Tank: Zebb
Support: Hulk
Support: Unkoe

If I'm remembering correctly, Splyce suffers from time commitment issues since several team members are working full-time jobs, which is perfectly fair. It would be awesome if clockwork joined NRG, since NRG needs some roster changes and he seems like a good fit. Thought he played really well.
