victococoblazin [#3]that was fast holy fuck
I happened to see it on Twitter, 3 minutes after it was posted so I figured I should post it here.
remiska [#9]france uk (knoxx boombox)?
or instead of uk canada (surefour) but neither of these convinces me
i doubt its S4. nV doesn't need him and with kyky in charge, I'm sure he knows they don't want his ego either.
Generation1 [#10]i doubt its S4. nV doesn't need him and with kyky in charge, I'm sure he knows they don't want his ego either.
i know thats why im not convinced im just going off of free flags and players without team
LaurenceR [#14]I could see Boombox as a Zen specialist to complement Chips's Ana. Both are good at both, but they definitely shine more on their respective heroes
depends on how interchangeable swapping players will be at the lan and how often, otherwise, chips is enough. if anything they both need to improve their respective mercy play (i want to kms for writing that).

just gunna leave this here
hydration makes no sense to me
they have seagul,taimou and effect why would they need another dps ?
my guess its either boombox,custaa,knoxx or another frenchy
I can't find the source, i heard it from the Overview episode 80, but i can't remember exactly when, but anyways, Mickie said that the new player was
1) From a different country
2) Played in a season of Apex (he said this about the 8th player, not 9th as far as i know)
The different country part was confirmed, so here's the list of non-korean (since they have effect) team players who were in a season of apex and haven't publicly said they were on X team or weren't on a team.
Season 1:
NRG:
none (all american + Num who's almost certainly on LA)
Reunited
(Kruise said EUnited members except boombox weren't in OWL, here are the ppl who didn't move to EUnited)
Winghaven
Onigod
Rogue:
(Tviq+Reinforce are swedes, Knoxxx isn't in, Unkoe is prob on LA, AKM said he's not in)
Winz
Envy:
InternetHulk (yeah no, but technically he fits the qualifications)
Season 2:
Cloud 9
(2 american 2 swedes)
Surefour
Roolf
Fnatic
(3 american, 1 swede)
Hafficool
Custa
Misfits
none (all swedes)
Season 3:
Rogue
(Unkoe and Soon are practically confirmed to be on LA, AKM and Knoxxx have said they're not in OWL)
Nico
Winz
Season 4:
No NA/EU orgs
So if this is true, it limits our options for at least 1 player, here are all of them:
Winghaven
Onigod
Winz
InternetHulk (Technically)
Surefour
Roolf
Hafficool
Custa
Nico
Keep in mind this may not be true, Envy may have changed their mind, and this may only apply to 1, those are the OW players who aren't the nationality of any on Envy's players and who have played in a season of Apex.
My guesses:
Surefour
Boombox

praying for my boi custa
paolodicanio [#20]hydration makes no sense to me
they have seagul,taimou and effect why would they need another dps ?
my guess its either boombox,custaa,knoxx or another frenchy
I am in agreence, mainly hydration would probably be pharah, which seagull clearly has locked down

My guesses:
Surefour
Boombox
Surefour makes sense, much like seagull does, huge name, plays tons of heroes, brings name recognition to the team. Top player since day 1.
FrozenJackal [#27]I'm thinking Roolf, Boombox, or Morte since they have another DPS main in Harryhook. It would allow for some more dynamic comps
Pretty sure Kruise said the only player from EUnited that got into OWL was boombox.
FrozenJackal [#27]I'm thinking Roolf, Boombox, or Morte since they have another DPS main in Harryhook. It would allow for some more dynamic comps
According to Kruise, Morte is bound to become the coach/manager of their new team.
To those predicting KnOxXx, I have bad news:
KnOxXx has been interviewed by a french website as a member of the French WC team, and he has confirmed that even though he went through some tryouts, he will not be in OWL for season 1. He also said that he'll try to get into the league for season 2, and that he has projects for a Contenders S2.
The video (in french): https://youtu.be/AWxe_mhil2Q?t=4m29s
I feel really sad, KnOxXx is one of my favorite players since the good old TF2 days, I really want to see him succeed.
Generation1 [#34]I'm late to posting on this but could the new player be Shadder2k? New flag, plays genji very well which they desperately need. Can flex onto a lot of other heroes should he need to... known relationship with Seagull, star power. It makes sense really... He's either DF or SF imo
could be and i was also thinking about him but considering kruis wasnt signed coz they signed seagull and shadder is also genji main its unlikely
remiska [#35]could be and i was also thinking about him but considering kruis wasnt signed coz they signed seagull and shadder is also genji main its unlikely
Well, Seagull has said he doesn't play much Genji anymore (on his stream). I think his passion for the game is waning too so I think he'd like to be in S1, play 1 hero and minimize the amount of time he has to put into it so it makes sense that one of their new players would A. have the genji role B. Be someone that is known for being mechanically gifted and smart and capable of learning a new hero should they have to. So Shadder makes a lot of sense but it is just speculation. We will know soon enough I'm sure!

so why decline kruis after signing seagull?

That's not it, him not playing ranked as much as before doesn't mean his passion for the game is wearing off.
He said on stream that what the team needed was him being proficient on 5 heroes, namely Pharah, Junkrat, Soldier, Zarya and one more which I forgot.
Him not playing Genji is because the game isn't too Genji friendly as of now. But if he comes back I don't see him not play it. Or they could get a Genji specialist if they need it down the line.

Who is lucky #9????
Knoxx, Christfer, Sharyk, Mowzassa, Juv3nile, Tonic, Meza, iRemix, or XQC by process of elimination and availability assuming they need a main tank?
