I mean to be fair, this is what a forum kind of is about, speculating and discussing what's going on, do we know the facts? no and we never will and I'm sure that applies to about 98% of the people involved in the OW scene so what else are we supposed to do? nobody claims to spit facts but all we can do is spill our opinions which is again, the purpose of a forum, sadly that seems to be lost either on this forum or in general nowadays.

I appreciate the analysis that went into the thread though.

I can see why both sides might be right.

Viewership numbers are something I can't speak ti, because I don't know what the league considers "a disappointment"

Compared to other big twitch gaming events, viewership is mediocre. csgo/dota majors.

I feel the assumption that profits would be their end goal/success rating. And were already seeing some owners not being able to run a profit in the short-term--i.e. optic/outlaws. It should be seen as a long term investment, but how long-term sustainable is competitive OW... needs new players and needs to keep people playing. OW doesnt release #s of actual people playing in comp queues or in general. it could be ded game rating in a year or 2 but we would never know.

OWL is about to get into the hardest part of its existence. Home games and logistics of worldwide sport. Will the teams really make back this money they invested? Definitely hard to be in management going forward if it goes south. Wise of him to move on I guess?

Almost unfair for Seoul. The bracket shouldn't be re-seeded for semi's. But if Seoul can beat the 2 best teams in Stage 1 then props to Tobi and Jehong for their redemption.

They can have road trips that bring 4 teams to 1 city. Across 20 teams they could each host games throughout the season so that your home team is playing 4 games as season? There are ways of accomodating the schedule to assist with travel. With that said the schedule this season is really awkward when youve got some teams playing each other twice in one stage and some teams being done playing before the end of the week. So they better improve whatever system helped them balance it.

An all-Chinese roster, that's a bold strategy Jeff, never seen that before (except last year terribly) let's see how it plays out for them...

Why would winston work? Not enough burst and you can't do anything from long range.

d.va is just so good, you can finish off low targets far away, you can micro missile targets down, you have a good team wipe ult and you can get a new life against bronze ppl who probably have trouble killing baby dvas.

Hell if I was in Saudi Arabia I would play as a lat player.

So far 9 full registered teams, 51 pending, for 128 they say starts next Friday.

Perhaps if teams couldn't ban the same heroes they banned last game, then over the course of a season you might see several metas evolve over lack of certain heroes. Also clearly they can't figure out balancing so it limits some ridiculous things.

This is a valid point, Bliz/OW wants to expand OWL in the future and probably thinks hosting the Grand Finals in a new venue is a way to do that, but if no one in the NYC area wants to go to OWL finals then it's gonna look pretty silly. Barclay's Center says it can hold 19,000, so it's not like they are filling up a football stadium. Also much bigger capacity than OWL arena.

64 Saudi teams AND 64 teams from the seven other eligible countries will compete in a single elimination bracket,

I'm trying to be funny, i'll be shocked if there are 64 teams full of people from saudi arabia. Maybe theres a large community? IDK

He's definitely had entire games where he's underperformed this season, but he has also carried very hard some map wins against big teams.

Heroes played are wrong for both teams, I guess.

Even having a korean tracer to scrim with is probably a benefit to the team, can probably help coach jake linkxr and clock when they do flex to tracer

They must have figured out what went wrong last week. Tanks definitely didn't help in the big losses.

Your tracer blink and 180 to stay locked on to targets is incredible, i need to learn that.

Best Necro, learning where legends were made...

Since it's 12 teams, they can make Atlantic/Pacific teams with 1 member from each team obviously. Will end up being strange how they do voting since people might pick 6 dps stars.

They should be coloring it in shades of red vs. blue. The white in a video game makes it seem pastel and bland.Even if they gave the white a slight team color hue it wouid look better. Home skins solid, white skins need iteration.

There was already another thread on this topic and the other one had rosters. can we consolidate to 1 thread?

Would be nice if since the season is so long, teams are forced to play subs x amount of games.

All the buffs/nerfs are relative. Roadhog makes a good counter for strong Doomfists since he has the highest raw health pool and can heal doomfist charges. Probably still won't make pro meta but I might play more roadhog since people undervalue him.

Scott Mercer was interviewed on stream with seagull and one of the teasers he dropped was a match history and various info about what they might do with stats.

https://clips.twitch.tv/GiantTransparentJaguarCurseLit

Pretty necessary right now. It was amusing to see somebody on Reddit offer to analyze someone's online stats when there really isn't a valid stat system for game history. (Which surprise, Paladins already has smh.)

My friends and I are just sick of how it always seems like you get to the point just before overtime is over and still lose. The timer is not kind, whether it's lag related or some overtime compensation. There was also a video on reddit that showed that the overtime fuse favors the one of the teams, i.e. if someone is booped off the fuse doesnt tick down right away.

I will eat Sideshow's shed if there isn't an EU-based franchise. They just haven't locked it down yet.

This is a well planned executed announcer list. Sounds like they'll have a main casting desk local and away locations with legit casters in each area.
