She may also have been given numbers that management decided to change on her. There's no way to tell, and making assumptions and/or baseless accusations without properly fact checking or having the full story can be dangerous.

I'm inclined to believe that something probably did go down, but the specifics are unknown, and Mykl just came out with accusations framed in a way that left little room for any explanation other than what he's trying to push.

That style of "reporting" is wrong, regardless of the validity of the material, imho.

Even if it's true, circumstances and bias apply here.

I see plenty of reasons for him to do so, drama and notoriety seem to be plenty enough. To each there own, but his track record is enough for me to abstain on this considering how there's always another side to the story.

But the way he called her out and the tone of the whole video leaves very little space for anything other than a witch hunt, ignoring any other circumstance that he may not have been aware of.

This isnt how journalism is supposed to be done, just clickbaity drama bull shit, imo.

Unacceptable if true, but I'm not a fan of this type of content, and he's not a source I trust in the least so I'm not biting on this one for now.

Should I DM Seoul my paypal?

They also had the whole roster change situation because of VISA issues etc. Not that it would have guaranteed a different result but still, today's game shows what they can do regardless.

Would be hard to do since he's in the military and he sure as hell aint leaving his wife and kids back there anywways.

Imma take a chance and say that this is a pog. TO seems to be building a solid foundation, here's hoping they can also get their hands on solid players!

Sleeper agent...THE UK'S BEEN BREACHED! QUICK! SEND THE D.VA TO RANDOMLY SHOOT IN ALL DIRECTIONS!

I don't know why, but I feel there might be some bias here...

1 EU team and no KR team, hopefully they can find investors if the next season is also successful in their eyes.

Those teams/franchises also have much larger rosters. And they do drop/trade in numbers like we've seen in OWL.

Drafting was something they looked at but it's not a mechanic that replicates being relegated. That would be the role of Contenders acting like a "minor league" for OWL.

I get that these layers being dropped carries emotion for people but that's not relevant to how these types of leagues do business.

With limited spots, even at the peak number of teams that Blizz wants, all countries are obviously not going to get a team. So if you want to pick a team you might need to find a more broad reason to root for them, or just follow the players you like around.

People will find reasons to like teams, whether it's the team or the players is obviously up to them - and yes, even after just 1 season or players being dropped.

Again, the goal of this league is to replicate professional sports leagues. Regardless of your, or anyone's, emotional attachment. This is par for the course.

Then you don't care, simple as that. Find a team you want to care for and tick with them...or don't, up to you. But this is what the League wants to achieve.

That's how localized teams work.

They are the Florida Mayhem, regardless of who's playing for them. And what you named as reasons for being attached to the team is how it works. I'm going to root for Toronto...because it's the team that represent Toronto. Not because Ryujekong or any other player is there at the moment.

Not sure why you' re shocked by this.

cough SEOUL, GRAB THIS DUDE cough

League record wise it doesn't count. But you're free to see it how you want to see it.

His hero pool was also covered by other players on that squad. Unless he really wants to push for Pro play, streaming might be a more viable option for him, imo.

You can get 60+ with an AMD Ryzen 3 2200G. Just have to OC both the Processor/Graphics on the APU, have decently fast RAM and configure your in game quality appropriately.

Good luck.

Something like 150-300k depending on region size, or w/e number would make it at least somewhat viable.

Just heartbreaking.

I see de futcha, mon'.

Welp, SK came out like they were playing for their lives.

I don't know how good his English is, or his aptitude for learning the language but I'm not sure why you think he's not learning English, EFFECT's been with the Envy group for a lot longer and his English always improving but clearly still has a ways to go.

And so what if English is the language for Overwatch? It doesn't make it easier to learn or communication any easier for non native speakers. Why would this be any different for Saya?

I agree that they need to move him if he's not willing to work with the team but if he's otherwise willing and trying to learn...I think he's worth keeping assuming both sides want it but I'm forced to question how shortsighted, or possibly even ignorant(?), you sound here.

Insane. I soiled myself.

Game of Thrones levels of SHAME.

Small. Indie. Company.

Impressive support system for a team that has no backing and no doubt a huge part of why they made it into the playoffs.

Unlikely to ever happen since Contenders teams are too volatile to invest into like that. Still love the idea though.

The Fusion siblings might be, but the Hurricane are in danger of being relegated right now so if we have to keep them in pairs I think that eliminates that family.

Cyclops is actually popping right now. I don't think it's going to be easy by any means but shit, I think they could make it if the stars align a bit.

but TO...was not ready.

They almost pulled it off against TO Esports, let's see if they can do it again, but better.

My body is ready.

Woa lol, didn't see that one coming.

Saying goodbye to Alwaysoov is like saying goodbye to an era. Hopefully he's able to stay in the scene and find himself another team to lead to victory.

As for the Seoul team i'm still hopeful that they find what they were lacking, be it coaching/staff or players. I still believe..SEOUL FIGHTING!!!

Runaway absolutely destroying X6. The shatter/bomb combo on Volskya was so sexy, a work of art.

6 starters + 12 reserves, per division.

Probably, but that only matters as long as Bernard is a better fit for the team than Crakin.

Wonder how much value Off Tank/Flex Support synergy actually brings. Usually it's more with the tank line and DPS or tank line and supports, otherwise it's just team synergy as a whole, imo.

Guess we'll see how they do with the new addition and how quickly they can get up to speed with their new 50% Korean squad.

I'm actually thinking China and Sweden with Denmark possibly stealing the 2nd spot. Otherwise the top two favorites of each group seem to be in relatively good positions to make it out, imo.

Why, I think it actually is.

Yeah that was a joke but I guess it got lost over internet translation. Oh well! '\'(o.O)'/'

And thank you for doing what is clearly mission critical work that no one else would ever think of doing /s (obligatory sarcasm tag to make sure it's not misunderstood this time)

Jokes aside, thanks for the post, no need to take things so seriously.

-10 pts for not having them in alphabetical order.

Was almost as easy as expected.

Hype.

That is all.
