YOU ARE BAD AT THIS
That's a pretty hype broadcast team, but it's a little sad not to see Goldenboy involved at all. I hope he comes back in some capacity for future events.
Whelp, #1 conflicts with #4 (most of the time). Guess I'm an EnVy fanboy now, bois!
That doesn't appear to be what he's saying at all. Here is the relevant quote:
No one, we will be rotating players in and out based on our strategy all the way down to a per map basis.
True enough, but this tweet thread suggests that Envy does plan to utilize the bird:
That, and the in-game Seag/Envy sprays and other paraphernalia!
Interesting, thanks. After skimming, I don't see anything forbidding between-map swaps.
Also, this tweet seems to support the idea that Envy will be doing some fine-grain, map-dependent, team composition management:

If so, I think this will make OWL really exciting in ways we haven't yet seen in pro overwatch!
Does anybody know what the OWL rules for in-game substitutions will be? Can teams make swaps between different maps during the same match (for example between different Oasis maps?)?
We'll obviously have to wait and see how things shake out, but I would imagine that any situations calling for a Pharrah, Junkrat, Zarya, Genji, or Hanzo would be a good situation to put in the bird.
Seagull seems to think that this patch is not conducive to Genji at the moment (based on comments he made yesterday), so presumably he has been playing one or more of these other heroes in scrims.
Given the sizable salary Envy must presumably paying him, I just don't see them picking Seagull up just to keep him on the bench all the time.
effect and taimou are both amazing, but there are heroes that Seagull plays better than either of them.
He said on stream yesterday that he hasn't been practicing Genji. He will presumably be (mostly) playing other heroes, at least in the current meta.
Real talk, fam:
How bad should I feel about going from consistent ENVY-hater to instant ENVY fanboy? Because that's what I just did.
If Seagull is actually on the bench for ENVY I'm going to feel so Jebaited
I could have sworn that Seagull said on stream recently that he no longer has any affiliation with NRG.
I will root for (in this order):
IMT is probably my favorite team currently, but I think I might actually root for Faze to do well in this matchup. Mostly because I would love to see them get into the OWL.
I hope you're right!!
One the one hand....I really don't want to get my hopes up that the Queen will be another new hero.
On the other hand...I really hope she's a new hero!
That isn't the new cinematic (or at least not the one that has been announced previously). They said on the stream that the actual cinematic is being released on Wednesday.
I'll fill a seat in NYC to see whomever is playing. Although I'd prefer it to be the Immortals... :/
At 5 am, yeah I want those extra 15 minutes! :)
Okay, I'm probably going to try to get up to watch this. What time will the action actually start? I want to get as much sleep as I can!
Skinny nerds can fight! They just don't usually win.
What's the opposite of :candle?
Wait, we don't like Doomfist now? When did this happen?
Pog frickin' Champ
edit: damn I got jeBaited
J3sus take the wheel!
