Rogue release roster after Overwatch League struggles

I really hope this squad stays together, and finds a home in the OWL in the future. Their form since the beginning of Overwatch can't be ignored.

Most accomplished team in OW's history? Wut?

:candle:

They actually won more prize money than EnVyUs. RIP

we'll see them at least one more time during owc and thats what makes me at least little bit happy but to see one of the very best rosters not in owl is both heart breaking and infuriating

Im very scared this game is never gonna be the esports title I was hoping for.

Look at how many tournaments AND matches they have won, this is litterally insane.
Compared to EnVyUs and other teams, they played so many more official games in 2017. Just look what they accomplished.

It seems that OWL destroyed EU t1 scene and many experienced teams. This is so sad.
Hope that those players can find a spot in OWL teams, I can't believe that Akm and Unkoe won't be at OWL, they are beasts.

And if we remove the problems they had and who forced them to play under bad conditions, they won all their matches on the NA stage, except the last one, against Envy ...

:candle:

I'm ready to explode when Boston reveals their roster and it's a tier 5 roster full of master level players, when teams like Rogue get thrown into the ditch. At least Faze is getting in

Part that blows my mind is Rogue ticked every box Blizzard required yet they declined them? unless Rogue are talking shit then why on earth would Blizzard not let them into the OWL if they had the finances available? from what I've seen this OWL has about 4 good teams with a massive gap between the rest, with the way Europeans seem to have been thrown to the side with no fucks given I genuinely hope this OWL league goes to shit.

I didn't expect this, if you're looking for me I'll be crying under my bed

What the ?

Hopefully, during the World Cup, FRogue gets one more chance to show the world their talent. I never rooted for them, but I'll miss them.

Someone want to start a count down until the Renegades roster gets dropped...

Seems like Unkoe and Soon will go to IMT, also KnoxXx maybe has a team. Winz Akm and Nico no. Hope they can find a home soon.

This is probably a dumb idea for many reasons, but maybe the remaining players from C9/EUnited and Rogue can form a Contenders S2 super group?

Some Contenders team gonna be better than some OWL teams.

Man so many thing are just a mess about OWL. I mean the Idea is great, the way they tried to do it based on pro sports league is a good way to go. But with this Global League thing, they even see bigger. So big that the all parties involved in the process are being overwhelmed by crucial choices. Only few experienced people on the matter of such a league, and for most they are the investors. And those people are just handling it like an experimental thing, with what seems to us a cold look. They don't really care to what happened to the scene outside the league. At least it is what it seems. My guess is that they only have a few knowledge about all the OW pro scene and so all that should be more of a concern to those who were hired to build the rosters. But again, can we really blame them ? I don't know. It is not like they have a lot to rely on as a scheme of what is right to do.

We can only wait and see and hope that when league expand everyone will learn from their mistakes for a better situation this time.

for now it kinda looks like next apex and contenders season will be more stacked than the actual OWL.

The Gamersorigin/rogue hybrid can come true in contendies S2

sounds like some billionaires sports groups just didn't want Rogue as a whole and they couldn't raise enough money to buy in. Sucks but sometimes that's the way the cookie crumbles. Pretty sure Unkoe/Knoxx/Soon won't have trouble landing a spot, don't think Winz nor AKM will make it (just due to AKMs tweets but hes worthy of a spot though). Nico, meh.

I was hoping Rogue would stick around for future Contenders seasons and then get into the second season of OWL. I wasn’t a fan, but there’s no denying their talent. AKM, in particular, not getting an OWL spot is pants-on-head crazy.

Honestly, Rogue not getting into OWL while many mediocre NA players are getting picked up has made me lose faith in the overwatch competitive scene.

Winz can always go back to Quake if he can't find a team, Soon and Unkoe are rumored for IMT.

Don't know what's going on with Knoxx but he's good enough to be in if he can expand his Tank Hero pool, or go back to Lucio.

AKM needs to fucking get in because he's a stellar hitscan, but adding more heroes to his pool might help him out.

Nico isn't OWL caliber on his OT or Genji, even though the latter is pretty damn good, if he works on his OT heroes along with having a strong Genji in his pocket he could eventually get in imo.

The way I see it all but Nico are strong enough to be in OWL right now, not including any possible personality/compatibility issues, imo.

The point is, sorry if this sounds blunt, Blizzard doesn't actually give a cent about the world scene, they never had and never will.

What do you think is the reason for EnvyUS to get Seagull? Having an NA player on an NA roster that had none (and a very highy marketable one at that)..

Rogue? Not really, they wished to go in as an all FR team, not gonna happen, not with an NA spot.

But yes please speak again about OWL wanting to be global.

Sad day if you ask me, one more reason (together with time ozne, limited EU spots, etc...) not to watch OWL. :(
Good luck to all Rogue players left without a team.

xQc also said that he trialed/is trialing with the Philly squad.

So Spiderlily, you know the Boston team already?

Unkoe and soon are now on IMT.
