EnVyUs VS Immortals hype

Some of these guys having to be subs breaks my heart, like S4 and Sinatraa. Also some of the roster pick ups are really perplexing because of overlap but in the end I think they do make the teams more well rounded.

I'm just curious to know who would get swapped in and out in some these cases.

i hope dummy gets to play and fnrgfe do well with him, as a middle finger to reddit

That would be the ultimate irony, and justice.

Esper was the problem! Never forget! Kappa

Too many quality players as sub. I'd argue hidan may even be above rubi in terms of skill.

Sinatraa with Envyus, welp

I would love to hear sinatraa and taimou in comms, would be pretty funny. Anyways, some great changes. Surefour as sub though FeelsBadMan

i kinda dont understand the sinatraa on envyus since both effect and sinatraa are god tracers and not yet proven genjis..maybe gotta do something with if communication with effect isnt there i guess

Sinatraa was actually a projectile player before he started playing hitscan

Im so happy to see all these F/As as substitute so maybe they can have a chance to play also xretzi for RNG is something i did not expect,i thought it would be corey

Probably all this sub just want to have some viewing i dont think that all gonna be part of the team on long term.....and thank you bweesh for the work you do really appreciated

sinatraa will probably remain IMHO as sub he is really good and in some case he can changes himself with mickie

sinatraa could switch with 3 people on envy

• taimou to run genji/tracer
• mickie for triple dps
• effect for triple tanks

Esper was the problem! Never forget! Kappa

Don't you dare bring the Esper meme back :( I still can't fathom how bad he got treated.
I fucking hope he comes back.

So my prediction for subs (if they ever get to play that is) is as follows:

• EnVy picked up Sinatraa for Zarya and Genji obviously, EFFECT doing great on Tracer I don't think they'll need him on that.
  The team never once had a top tier Genji player in their ranks (and god knows how much I love Talespin but his Genji wasn't competing with some others).

• Surefour can play anything I guess, but I think if they wanna run Pharah he'll be the go-to. Carpe was signed with the roster they have, so I'm guessing either him or SDB will take Tracer. SPREE has played Pharah but Surefour is a level above on the rocketQueen.

• Dummy is an unknown to me. I know he has played DPS prior to NRG but haven't seen him play in a long time, can't say what he'll play.

• xRetzi is pretty obvious I guess. One of the best hitscans prior to triple tank meta (which broke Rise sadly) imo. Him and Spirit used to be my favourite duo.

• Kolsti as main tank and Knoxxx back on Lucio is pretty obvious as well. The real question is whether this is Rogue's way of foreseeing Winz leaving OW. Unkoe said it was for 1 game, but you never know. I liked Kolsti on Movistar, never seen him Rein, but pretty competent on Winston.

• Last one is kind of a mystery to me. Why 3 subs ? Dream, to my knowledge, plays hitscans (and pretty well), but Kungarna already has Babybay on that role. Double hitscan comps ?
  Goliath's Zen was pretty good last time I watced him but Dogman was doing well too so I'm not sure about this one.
  And then Gods, who played main tanks, offtanks, hitscan and projectile DPS at a professional level. I'm guessing he's #1 sub pick if they need to change anything comp wise.

You forgot that SDB is godlike Pharah as well.

He was godlike Pharah in beta, and I said it during world cup as well. But S4's is one of the best out there..

I think SDB is a great Pharah, but not quite at S4 levels imo.
