P.S. Sorry I edit your post by mistake Mundi :E

Pretty different even though they are both slavic languages. Russian uses the Cyrillic alphabet, Polish uses the Latin one.

Yes I believe the pros have been giving more PTR feedback since the Bastion stuff slipped through :D

Will be uploaded to YouTube at some point?!

Not sure of the level of play but I know UGC do Overwatch

If EnVyUs are a NA team with no American players, can they play in this tournament since they actually have a Thai player? :thonking:

Thorin went in on it yesteday too

they finally let COOLLER frag out?! :o

Not sure, probably this dude https://masteroverwatch.com/profile/pc/us/reach-11534

fear not, they will be :D

Good to see baud on a fragging role, his talents are wasted on support!

Orisa competitive debut in Carbon right now!

banter, trash talk and some genuine rivalry can only make Overwatch more enjoyable!

Regarding the team flags we have just been following the status quo in Overwatch and we try to apply it fairly consistently.

I do still believe that EnVy, Rogue, LG, etc are EU teams and agree with the arguments laid out by Sideshow here https://www.over.gg/2936/editorial-envyus-and-rogue-are-european-teams

But it's still fun to play devil's advocate. It even goes some way to illustrate that any system one imposes is ultimately arbitrary.
Do you actually think there is any difference which system is used when both can be argued for fairly logically?

Will the Miami Misfits be a European team or a team of Europeans?
The only situation where it matters is when artificial tournament rules or league structures are imposed.

You seem to be ignoring the fact that I'm trolling the shit out of this thread.

EU! EU! EU!

I gave EnVy an EU flag when they moved to Charlotte first time around, but the powers that be shut me down!
Fight the power! Down with the Yangsheng dynasty!

You seem to be ignoring that Overwatch has been effectively region locked for all major tournaments to date.
Teams have quite literally been forced to choose which region they represent.

Where teams reside has actually been more important than the median value of the players' nationalities.

We saw NA and EU qualifiers for the Atlantic Showdown and Overwatch Open. A few teams even switched regions between the two tournaments.

The new Rogue roster were not invited to MLG Vegas despite being an organisation based in Vegas because their players were not residing in NA (something that didn't seem to matter for half of FaZe and Fnatic?!)

EU teams were were not invited to to play in NGE's Winter Premiere, but in the eyes of tournament organisers LG (which you would deem an EU team) were eligible.

If you live in NA and are deemed to be an NA team by tournament organisers/Blizzard then are you not a NA team?

None of the original LG Loyal members even remain in the roster anymore

If I imported 6 individual EU players to NA and make a team with them are they a EU team or a NA team? :D

LG Loyal are living in Toronto and competing in the North American region. What is hard to understand about that?

You can even see the players individual nationality flags in the roster :D

The team flag actually adds some context in all these situations!

every other website does it like that

http://www.gosugamers.net/overwatch/rankings
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/overwatch/Category:American_Teams
https://www.plusforward.net/organization/24/Team-EnVyUs/

EnVy have been in Korea to compete in APEX, but the players will soon return to their team facility in Charlotte - that is where they are based "normally".
Rogue are living together in Vegas now.

LG Loyal live in a team house in Toronto, LG Evil do not

Not sure, rosters are just a snapshot from when the fixture was added. Refreshed to the most recent team fielded.

G2, Cooldown, Melty and PENTA

I heard it's postponed until Thursday because of Orisa patch coming Tuesday

NA and EU separate tournaments essentially

and is it in Brasil?!

Fighting for NRG's spot in the main event

Tie on Hanamura, but RunAway took the Oasis tiebreaker.

Yeah we ask the players and try to share the info on Liquipedia Discord where the grizzled match ticker veterans congregate :D

#9 solid game mode xddd

Maybe we should just ask the teams what flag they want? :(

lol I don't actually think his name is Moses, it used to be Moyes? Error in the ESPN article?
Also Nesh's name is actually "German" :thinking:

Zaprey returns... the prophecy was true :o

I liko my kox with dudu

Yeah same Kresnik. I think all of LG Evil were TF2 players?
