This is a great change imo, I really hate orange.

and the miami heat copied... who knows how many teams. Do you really think they were the first to do it. It even says in this post that this colour scheme was first popularised by the hit 1980s TV show Miami Vice."

I know this is an extremely early look and means almost nothing but a bit of fun, but I'm still surprised you put dragons in 4th. They finished last season in 11th place with a 13/15 record and barely upgraded this off-season, doesn't seem like a 7 spot jump to me.

High IQ typo so you are right even if he 'dies' or 'does pop off' 😂

You made an NBA comparison, so let me ask you, how does supporting the NBA work in Finland? A common question you might hear in Australia is "who are you going for this season". With (obviously) no teams from Australia, why would anyone be invested in a team rather than a player. In Australia the 76er's are very popular because of Ben Simmons. When gets traded or retires do you expect millions of Australians to still loyally support the 76er's? Because it won't be the case, doesn't mean they were 'fake fans' though.

I agree titans should be in it to win it, but they came runner up overall and won a stage with bumper, its not like he was a liability

he is easily owl good. have you seen what he does on ladder while getting preposterously unlucky and with dogshit team-mates. He is hands down the best doom right now and has been pretty much since the heroes release, so when he gets on a team with pros he is basically going to shit on everyone.

not Vancouver

fuck the titans for doing this. I love runaway and I love bumper and Vancouver is just tryna ruin their legacy. they were runners up and won a stage! why remove a valuable and OG player.. wtfffff

yeah, I was wrong lol. It does make sense to me now since Meko is very charismatic imo, even to western audiences (coming from nyxl helps), so HOU can keep their fan favourite identity.

yep, I just remembered this comment....

houston are stuck with a bunch of players on contract who they dont want to play, such as coolmatt and spree. I guess there were like fuck it we are signing good new players anyway

nice

they also put in skill lines/hero customization. People have complained for ages that overwatch is trying to please too many audiences at once and doing nothing well. trying to fit campaign and hero mode into the main game while balancing for each would be a step in the wrong direction.

how does custa keep leaking stuff? it must be on purpose

agilities to any team

yeah I was pretty much joking when I suggested that, but I do think one of them will play tank

hmmm you might be onto something

If I told someone that sparkle joined OWL, it would probably take them at least 18 guesses to predict the team. Paris?! wtf. (good pickup though)

noooo 3 of my favourite players in the league are splitting 😭

why would they release pine when that would mean they still have to pay his contract. that's a waste, keep him on until his contract is over

no way, he's washed up as a ow player. He has moved on. He was good but not enough of a legend to just sign to owl out of over a season of retirement

im lowkey hoping blase plays dva and maybe hydration could learn zen/off-heals. could be an upgrade honestly

how is outlaws DPS lineup gonna work now?

a fuck ton of money. Maybe they are planning on downgrading their team, but they will be getting a lot of money in return. And anyway, they only placed 7th-8th with 2 of the best players in the league and no stage final appearance, it sorta makes sense to sell for a ton of money while gesture and profits stocks are still very high if they are not getting the success they seek with those players. (That is just my guess at what spitfire was thinking. But rest assured, they made bank)

I would like to see someone argue that

not a chance

I thought justice already dropped sleepy, no?

idk lol, haven't watched any contenders yet :p

I'm super hyped for the contenders gauntlet. After being really excited for OWL grand finals for 2 weeks between it and the semis it was kinda a let down with how one sided it was- still a great event, just not super thrilling- and now I've basically been blue-balled for some quality high stakes competitive Overwatch.

Sorry, but what does 'team option' mean specifically, can someone tell me please? I think it's somewhere in between under contract and free agent, but yeah I don't really know :)

Its amazing to me that I specifically addressed that point and you still bring it up. I know > they cannot schedule things for everyone across the world, that's impossible <
But do you know what else I know? It is very possible for them to schedule it so that everyone in the world has it on a weekend. Every single person. Just make it one day earlier (Saturday local time), they don't even need to change the time, and that will let it be on the weekend for everyone. I don't care if it's at 3AM, but if it's on during work there is nothing I can do, and that is avoidable.

Im talking about viewing it live, there is nothing stopping me from watching the VOD later

ikr! I know and fully accept that the time will not be great or even good for everyone but they could have at least made it on the weekend. I dont care what time it is, i will be awake for it, but 8AM on a monday there is nothing I can do. It's an absolute disgrace if you ask me, because they could have just had it at the exact same time one day earlier (6pm saturday in Philadelphia) and it would have been watchable for every time zone in the world.

edit: ik this may seem harsh and selfish but cmon i have been following closely all season and i just wanna watch the grand final, IK im not alone here

shock literally had a 'golden' lower bracket run. who tf does that

SF 4-0 VAN
not only do Vancouver have to take down the tank that is the Shock, but they are already rolling along at 100mph

you might be right, but if shock loses this will make an excellent copypasta

This is what I mean though, I make that comment and 2/3 people who replied are saying nah nyxl aren't as good as your saying, this is the reason why I hope they prove everyone wrong

the have consistently been one of the most dominant team for 2 seasons, I feel like they deserve a title. Every time they lose (which isn't common) they get trash talked so much, it seems like people are starting to take their prowess for granted. Sure they don't have a stage title this season, or a golden stage, but two season in a row they conceded only 6 regular season losses, yet people still don't respect them? They have a not superb stage 4 and people suddenly forget this is the same team that has recorded less losses in the history of the OWL as Florida map wins in season 2 (I made that stat up, but it sounds somewhat believable).

big unluck atlanta cya next season

GLA 4-3 SFS

oh I thought 6:25 was the start not the end. either way couldn't you have woken up before instead of staying up all night?

well

why not ... wake up at 6.25?

one of the only people with enough respect on titans name to leave them in the top 2 and I am pretty sure they are going to prove you right.

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw hydration in the tank slot to play sigma/orissa
