How are you going to pick your OWL team?

So just curious to see what everyone else here is doing and thinking on rooting for an OWL team.

  1. Rooting for an existing team (Immortals, Envy, LH, etc)
  2. Rooting for a certain player(s) and whatever team they land on
  3. Rooting for a team based on Location
  4. Waiting to see all the players and teams to choose
  5. Waiting for season 2 to see more locations get signed

I personally am having a hard time, I rooted for Rogue in NA and eUnited recently, and neither got an OWL spot (that we know of). And even though there are 9 NA teams, no locations are near me to root for. I will probably follow whatever team my favorite players end up on at this point, at least for season 1.

  1. Whether they're actually competent in picking / managing their team.
    So basically Number 4 and then Number 6 when it's all said and done.

Would say C9 EU had my hopes up but then C9 KongDoo happened and now I'm really confused by the move.
I wonder what roster Boston will end up with.
I trust HuK to be competent with his judgement given all of his previous experience in esports, including his progamer days. So I suppose Boston and nV would be the top picks to cheer for at this moment, personally.

I'll be rooting for Misfits. Been a fan of them ever since the Nevix/Soon/Kryw dream trio. It's nice for me that they've finally started to perform with the new roster.

if rogue gets picked by some team ill prodably cheer for them (i am huge akm fan)
ill also cheer for envy coz theyre all very likeable guys
rest i need to see what happens to roster coz while immortals has roster its not even a top na roster anymore and a lot of teams dont have roster at all so we need to wait and see

If they're recruiting more players, they'll definitely bring in more Koreans.

Nahh...Coolmatt69 seems like he is in for Envyus (leaks/rumors) and probably with him Muma

Coolmatt I can see because of KyKy and team USA, but if they're going for another tank then surely it'd be for an upgrade on Cocco, which Muma isn't. I can't think of many Western tanks better than Cocco, which is why I think they'll bring in a Korean.

They both listed as sub not as main role so muma is ok imho. Also Mickie is bet Coolmat69 imho so he is gonna probably stay as sub too

Coolmatt is one of the people I will follow whatever team he lands on. If it is Envy that makes it easy.

I'll pick Misfits for two reasons, first being they are European and I'm biased so hope to god they can go over there and represent EU and two they have Tviq and Logix who are very entertaining players to watch, never been a fan of Envyus I can't stand the constant laughing they do even when losing, kinda get the feeling they ain't taking shit seriously but that's just me.

Very interesting to see how C9 do now and how Koreans can perform outside of Korea against the best of the rest so will be rooting for them as well.

I will root for (in this order):

  1. Whatever team Seagull is on
  2. Immortals
  3. NYC's team (LWB)
  4. Whatever team(s) have the best shot at beating historically dominant teams like Envy and LH. I certainly don't have anything against these two teams. I just get sick of seeing the same winners over and over again.

Whelp, #1 conflicts with #4 (most of the time). Guess I'm an EnVy fanboy now, bois!

As a Lunatic Hai fan, it's not too difficult for me to pick a team to cheer for. But if they do not pick up top-tier DPS to fill in their weakness, I might look for another team.
If majority of RunAway gets picked up by any team, I would probably root for them, but I don't think that is likely to happen, at least not for the season 1.

To answer your question, I'm closer to #2 rooting for a certain player(s) and whatever team they land on

Same here, and since KDP just got picked up my dream of seeing Bridring/Rascal in LH has finally, officially been put to rest.

I think you may have suggested something like Saya/Libero in the past and I think that could also work. But they need something to shore up their obvious weaknesses. Along with a restructuring of their in game leading/shotcalling if Esca was doing the brunt of the work.

Also, I'll be rooting for whatever teams end ups in Canada but in the meantime I guess it's LH and NRG.

I love Envy's strange ways, and I'm a huge seagull fan so what ever team he's on aswell, always been a more follow the player than the team kind of guy anyways.
Edit: and if scandinavia somehow gets a team I guess i'll cheer for them a little aswell.

Well that resolved itself nicely

Yea for sure. I am with you. The only thing holding me back from 100% envy is still some stupid hope that Rogue ends up somewhere. Envy has been my CS:GO team for years and I have rooted for them in Apex since season 1 (after Rogue lost haha).

I've recently rooted against Envyus because I'm an underdog fan. Not anymore.
