As seen by their recent trip in Korea, Rogue aren't unbeatable. You just need inhuman coordination and the best Ana, Winston, Genji and Lucio in the region to beat them.

Jokes aside, they're mortal.

I can't speak for the US team but Canada I agree that S4, xQc, Agilities, Rool and Verbo are pretty much in. The last person needs to be able to flex dps/tank unless they want to run triple dps all the time but Train (LG Evil) might be a good flex pick.

I'd say IDDQD/AZK from Team Liquid are better picks.

I haven't seen _ID and AZK flex to that off tank role as much, and I don't know what their OT pool looks like if needed, so I don't think they'd be viable choice, imo.

Especially since "Ana mains" can't just play Ana now they have to be able to play zen and mercy

#21

Frags

–

the top tier supports were already playing mercy/zen prior to ana even coming out. I can't think of any NA/EU pro that got picked up purely for their ana that then needed to learn zen/mercy. For example, I knew shake as a zen god (solid mercy) and became an ana god afterwards. Same as Floor.

#18

If you want an equally good ana and zen,i suggest picking up dogman since i haven't seen as much zen from rawkus

#22

I think it's safe to say that Seagull is probably the only guaranteed member for team USA. Not sure about other picks since there's a really wide variety of players that can be picked, plus you also have to include the streamers that aren't on pro teams.

#23

He said he wouldn't be in the World Cup team if they were going to be 100% serious about it because he wouldn't be able to stream the scrims. I have no clue what the final result of this is though.

I really should read posts fully before I post myself but it is what it is

Either way my prediction for USA roster

MESR
Adam
Shake
GODS
sinatraa
GrimReality

I actually had a very tough time deciding on a 6th. It was a tie between GrimReality ,emongg, and harbleu (I can really see either of them being chosen in the end tbh) but in the end I chose GrimReality since dive comp/multi dps compositions are the meta at the pro level essentially.

I also had a few"Bubble" picks that could replace any of the players above in their respective role (in no particular order)

Tank:

FCTFCTN
Super

Support (flex):

Dogman
Michael3D
rob420
Rawkus

Flex:

harbleu
emongg
Voll
hyped

DPS:

Jake
Lui
J3sus
Calvin
Clockwork

#28

Considering how far away the event is I feel like having a really good flex is important, that being said, I hope Canada will take either train or Zza

Of course if triple dps is still prevelant though, Mangachu, Agilities , and S4 are obviously the best choice

#46

Joshua

Yeah was hoping the same for those 2 but from what I've heard zza wasn't picked, he only got to try out 1 day and after that didn't give him another chance. :(

#48

Frags

–

Wow that sucks, i was kind of saying an either or thing though. After a lot of thought imo train is the better choice anyway and theres speculation he got picked, he can play every hero Zza can play plus a few extra important ones (D.va). ****

There was a rumor going around discord earlier today that Jake made the team.
Also I think id_ and train are the only players who can fill the flex role (play D.Va) for team Canada. Even Rogue, the number 1 triple dps team, has a D.Va player.

#42

Bantha

2

Frags

+

–

Train is probably a pretty good pickup for Canada. His D.Va was not bad during the Quad Tank days and he can flex to Hanzo/Tracer/Sombra as well, although I'm not sure how much that will be required since they'll have Surefour.

What I'm expecting today :

xQc - Train - ~~Zza~~ Mangachu - Surefour - Roolf - Verbo

vs

MESR - CoolMatt69 - Jake - xRetzi - Shake - Adam

Apparently Zza isn't making it which is kinda sad but oh well. Also would've loved watching DaHanG but he's at E3 I think, so I guess it's not happening, and Harbleu for CoolMatt but highly unlikely too.

#63

KuroiRyuu9625

Frags

–

If we have Train I'm not sure Mangachu fits in here. S4's Parah is monster and he's a straight up better Soldier. With Train more than likely on Flex duty I think Agilities might be a better option than Mangachu for this squad.

The only other swap I'd arguably make, though not with 100% certainty, is swapping Verbo for Joemeister.:

xQc - Train - Agilities - Surefour - Roolf - Joemeister

Less than 5 hours away, HYPERBOLIC HYPE!.

So committee members weren't supposed to be able to select themselves for the team right? How is Mangachu both a committee member and player for team Canada?

they changed it, you can be a committee member and play, it was like a day or two after how the selection process worked that blizz changed it.
Maybe train didn't want to make the time commitment needed to play in the WC? gotta ask the dude but depends if you want to run "weird(er)" comps with mangachu or more standard with Train.
