Ur a bandwagon

Looking forward to Seoul getting tantalisingly close but Shock clutching it from an impossible situation.

It's happened too many times, I'm sending Seoul all of my positive energy!

Showing my age here but after boombox he was my favourite Zen player, sad to see him go but I guess the time is right. Good luck in the new game!

Just want to say thank you to BigGoose for all the fantastic memories. I've usually been rooting for the teams he's been playing against but he's always thrown a spanner in the works and caused trouble at every turn. Great player! Will be missed :(

That gets a yikes from me

5Head takes tbh

so happy for stitch

RUNAWAY FIGHTING

Best team won gg Shock

Well casted Jaws and Hex

5.5 and Twilight makes me want to be a shock fan ffs. Shock making the 2nd best team look so average

5 maps in and we're into the top 3 games territory. Watching Twilight pop off makes me so sad that that Titans broke up.

Just saying 2 maps in and this is already in my top 5 favourite games. Such amazing play from both teams

Got to laugh at ignoring Carpe because he hasn't had a 1v5 clutch this season. He's been insane and has so consistently come good when Fusion has needed him most. Number 1 rated player in the whole of OWL for clutch kills

Completely agree with the relief at only 25% being fan votes, there are so many deluded people out there! Guarantee a lot of you think my praise of Carpe is deluded and I don't blame you, just goes to show the 25 limit is golden.

Calling it now, 4-3 Fusion

Sado is garbage btw

my heart is broken

props to bren and sideshow for an incredible cast

Congrats to Numlocked for overturning his 100% map loss record!

Ah yes, look at the lack of emotion from these foreign players, they barely even celebrate! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TICbfjRbwxg

Fans want to see the best players playing regardless of where they come from. OWL is a global league not just a Western playhouse.

For the reasons listed above? The only reason listed is a racist stereotype that Koreans don't show emotion. What are you smoking over there?

Being racist and prefacing it with "Nobody take what I say as racist" still makes it racist.

You're actually an idiot

aaaand I'm now a Toronto Defiant fan

You couldn't write this ahaha

Credit to Xzi, he got a huge kill on Astro early on in the mega overtime duel, but 100% credit to FD for surviving and getting that beat, they pretty much won the game off of that

Now that's what I call Overwatch!

What a game, FDGoD living up to his name. I had no idea who he was when he signed and it seemed like such a bad pickup given Kruise's influence but he's been so good. Gutted as a Philly fan but Paris deserved it GG

This could get ugly

Me too, really looking forward to it. Hoping to see Fury if things go bad for Philly

Stratus was pretty nutty in Stage 4, it's hard to hold that against Ado.

Agree it's a bit of a weird one tho, maybe Ado has some scrimbucks that he's cashed in

Robokun makes a great point here, the 12 man roster really comes into play with this change. Take Fusion for example: Tracer and Widow are banned so Carpe rides the bench for the week and Chipsa comes into play Doom. Are you saying Carpe doesn't belong in OWL?

I'd very much argue that he does belong.

What do you mean you'd hate to "move" back, it's a website not a physical location. You're still allowed to watch other streams on Twitch.

I don't understand your trepidation at having to type Overwatch League into a search bar at a designated time that you'll be able to look up thanks to over.gg when you check it in the morning. You've even solved your own problem, subscribe to the OWL channel and YouTube will tell you that it's live when you go on the website.

I'll admit the chat isn't as good but does it really matter for OWL when all you get is a stream of PogChamps that fly by at the speed of light.

Can we be so certain of that? I've just had it pegged down to how little Blizzard cares about Contenders

I'm super hyped for this pairing, Jaws is a great caster and it'll be so nice for Hex to have a partner who actually understands the game.

cONtEnDeRs SeEdInG iS r i g g e d

No

Let's go ZP!! Super looking forward to the new duo with Jake

Swap out Coolmatt or Spree for Kaiser or Tizi and this team is suddenly very spicy

RIP Bdosin

Snillo is so talented, I hope he makes it to OWL again ASAP

Let's go! I'm loving this pickup and the whole Gladiators squad

I hope he becomes a full-time caster.

It's about time!

Titans have replaced one of their weak spots with a nutty main tank who synergy aside will most likely be an upgrade.

Fissure's ego problems were always down to not playing every game or not being on a Korean championship side. He looks pretty well set up at Titans and sure it is a bit of a risk but Fissure himself will know that this is his last chance to get these conditions so my guess is that he'll calm down and deliver the goods.

Jehong's presence shouldn't be underestimated either, his leadership ability will no doubt help to bring the team together after they come to terms with the fact that Bumper is gone. At the end of the day these are pro OW players who are here to win OWL. It sucks that Bumper won't be a part of that journey anymore but Haksal and co will get over it and move on.

I really like this off season so far, they're pivoting from plucky underdogs to a high calibre championship winning team.

ChipSa is going to prove all the haters wrong

RIP Rawkus, he had a good run

Let's go! So glad for him

Why is it odd?

I hope Hotba finds a new team quickly

UK styling

Can't wait to see the neptuNo DPS

Fusion are poppin

EVERYONE is taking a massive dump on Sado right now but I think he'll come good if they don't sign anybody else

Fusions to Fusion

Fusion low-key becoming pure poggers
