I'll give you Contenders but he got handled in the OWWC groups, since he was the only real threat to be taken care of. As for TakeOver2 he wasn't as stellar as he could have been in the playoffs, but he played much better than in Contenders imo.
2 events isn't enough for me to declare him a serial choker but we'll get to see very quickly if he's been able to recover and improve.
Tanks/Flex
DPS
Support
There's a very real lack of available top level Flex tanks in NA/EU right now but these would probably be my picks...I think...
I think your choice of words gains you more ire than your actual opinion. Negative fluff is just as disruptive as overly positive hot hair and distracts from the actual message you're trying to convey, imo.
Being direct and to the point is important, and sometimes even required, but throwing some extra BS like insults or other pointless banter tends to invalidate even the best of arguments yes? I do my best to ignore the irrelevant fluff that gets added to some comments but it does sometimes take away from the core of the message by changing my perception of it's tone.
So to me at least, labels like rebel, or not a sheep, aren't free card to fling shit around like it's 1969.
Disagreeing with the majority isn't necessarily negative, it's just an opinion. Now, if you shit on people for having a different opinion, whether popular or not, is what I'd consider negative. Also, getting down voted shouldn't mean much to anyone since it's just some random person hitting a button on a post you make.
Not sure how many times you've complained about it, and still are, already but imo it shouldn't matter.
Not sure them being american has anything to do with their scheduling choice though, I actually agree with you on the relatively excessive nature of the format but then again, I don't have the insight they do, and obviously neither do you. Like, I fail to understand why you would choose to bring nationality into this as it's irrelevant to the subject at hand.
In any case I assume divisions are being put into place now even though they will only have an effect once the teams play from they home stadium.
I also think that if they want to go the division route, rankings within the division itself may be more important than overall ranking when it comes to making the playoffs. I have nothing to corroborate this as I'm just basing it off traditional sports so take it with a grain of salt.
Essentially to make this system work they'd have to play once against teams of the other division and at least twice against teams of their own division, bumping the total number of games per regular season up to 16, from 10. With teams playing 2 games per week and having a week off in between each phase the regular season would last for 16 weeks.
I'm assuming that may be too long for them? Hard to tell but I'd actually prefer that format since it add a bit more meaning to inter division matches and rivalries since you know you'll see them again.
Gido is a good defensive Tracer, but sometimes they may need an explosive and aggressive one like Bunny or Munchkin.
I don't see why we wouldn't be allowed to speculate on how we think these teams will perform. The lack of information, results or data in general is what leads to speculation, and there's nothing wrong with that.
The structure of your argument suggests you're defending Dream as an example, and that's quite OK, you have a right to disagree. However, your opinion isn't more, or less, valid that anyone else's on this forum, remember that.
I like your optimism, but on paper it's not looking good.
Now, I hope they do surprise us, otherwise they'll have passed on several highly talented free agents only to not live up to expectations.
I think Nevix is a solid choice and deserves to be in there. Some of the other choices are suspect but, I don't know shit so...
Not sure how Philly's management couldn't have been able to dig this up. Not the type of player you want anywhere near OWL.
Correct, and the order that players show in by default is just the order than they appear in the roster. We'll adjust the roster when we know who's playing and adjust for each map.
He was a lie. Just like the cake.
Numbers aren't allowed in names but I guess he could have it on his jersey.
Dude, I'd buy that!
Highly competitive game, much fun to watch. solid performance from both sides with the Koreans showing just how strong and consistent they can be.
Truly another battle of titans.
Unfortunate that France had to play also immediately after such an emotionally draining match but tbh they did relatively well regardless.
The match was closer than i thought it was going to be given the situation and hopefully any players that have been forgotten by OWL teams get their just deserts.
We did it boyz. We got a map!!!
The cheese went bad.
Canadian cheese, best cheese. Much cheese.
The boyz are playing their freaking hearts out right now.
Problem is that they need the Zen orbs and in most cases you don't want to be going in w/o your own Zen against Jehong.
I don't know how good Joemeister's Zen is, but I'm guessing that he or Roolf are more comfortable on the current hero config than they would be otherwise.
I don't know if that's actually the case but if you compare that to Adam who is both a great Lucio and a God Tier Mercy you can see that they seem relatively screwed both ways.
Not sure if troll or...
France has nothing to do with the reason KR will probably win this, imo.
I'd have to disagree, both Canada and France lack a dedicated Flex Tank, with Nico and Mangachu having to take up the role. The difference is that France had been playing as a team for a long time so they were somewhat able to make up for it until the meta changed.
I think the squad that had the best chance to beat them was Team USA, mostly because of the larger amount of effective comps they could run, imho.
Which ever way you look at it, winning maps is going to be extremely difficult for Canada, but I hope they do regardless.
Well shit. I'd be EXTREMELY happy to eat my words...GO CANADA GOOOOO!!!
I'm proud of the boys regardless of what happens. They went further than anyone thought they could, including myself.
That being said I do think this will be a sweep, SK will have honed in on our weakness at the flex tank position and Fl0w3r's Pharah can easily take it to Mangachu, S4 or Agilities so it will be hard fought match for Canada as they try and win some maps.
I'm still hoping that we can come out and surprise the world even more and take some maps! Let's go boyz.
Prediction: SK wins 4-0
Biased feels as a Canadian: SK wins 4-2
Match has been changed to a Bo7.
France is just unbelievable. Playing this well such a short time after what must have been am extremely draining match against SK.
It's unfortunate for France but they really fought hard. I can honestly say that I think this game was as close as the SK vs USA match.
The boyz really stepped up their game and pulled through. Proud of them regardless of what happens in the final. Sexy ass hit.
If they would have seeded thew teams by rank SK(2) and USA(3) would have more than likely met in the SF so I think you example is probably accurate to en extent.
Jehong on the Soldier cleaning thing up again. This might be the closest 3-0 ever if France can't win the next map.
Down fraggin a guy after the fact is low boyz. Hindsight is 20/20, he's got balls for being this bold.
Never been so happy to have been so wrong in my life. WE, THE NORTH.
Kind of expected that after their APAC performance and more importantly, TaiRong being announced as a coach in OWL. No doubt most of those boys will find themselves teams willing to pick them up for APEX Season 5. Heck if LH wanted to pick up Lucid and IDK they would portably be one, if not the best, team in that APEX season, specially since they're rebuilding.
Agilities is better than sex.
Chips is able to get away with his life so much more often than Joe, it's actually unreal. Agilities is just clutching so hard that they're able to pull through somehow.
Really happy the boyz were able to take it up another notch!
GO CANADA GOOOO!!!

By posting cool stuff that ppl like...or abandoning all hope of a normal life and living on this website.
The 1/3rd and 2/3rd have their own club, then it's separate clubs for each full star, cause over.gg is fancy like that.
I think this is going to be a very difficult match for France. We've seen how good Flex Tank play is key in winning matches and even though Nico really stepped up against China he was also often one of the first to go down/lose his mech.
SK are more than likely going to focus him down and build from there. France are going to have to be extremely efficient at targeting SK's supports which have shown to be a weakness when they run the Mercy.
In the end though I believe Team SK to be too strong and able to better capitalize on their opponent's weaknesses.
I think SK win 3-0, but the match may be closer than the score reflects, and honestly I'm hoping to once again be surprised with a high octane and exciting game of Overwatch.
Edit: Holy shit boyz, I did it! I no-lifed my way to my 4th star!
Not sure what you mean, but as you said it was a year ago, with a completely different roster, also against a completely different roster.
This will be extremely difficult for France since Nico is going to get absolutely focused down as the weak link. Soon is probably going to be kept in check by SBB, much like Sinatraa was for good parts of their match.
I don't see France fairing better than USA, this match was as close as anyone's going to get to defeating SK unless Sweden can also pull off some heroics, imo.
Team SK do not, if that's what you mean. There are some very good Mercy players in Korea, yes, but Jehong or Tobi aren't one of them.
I think Team USA took a very convincing run at SK, I fully believed they could do it after the first map, seeing how they handled their opponents both when they weren't using Mercy and when they decided to switch to her.
Adam proved that he is without a shadow of a doubt an absolute God Tier Mercy outplaying both Tobi and Jehong on almost every occasion.
In the end though you could start to see the tole that playing at such a high tempo had on the UDSA guys vs the Koreans. The latter seemed fresher, more composed and while their level of play remained constant while team USA started to become less coordinated and decisive.
Short LANs like this is what we really would have needed to get a solid beat on where the regions stand in comparison to each other, but this also makes me happy that most teams will have some Korean influence since we should be able to learn from each other and make OW even better as a whole.
Awesome match from both sides hopefully France or, and here I assume Canada will not be able to move on, Sweden can put up as good of a performance as the boys in Red, White and Blue.
And SK could have won Oasis had they not C9'd. I think it goes both ways, the difference being that SK seemed to be more mentally fresh by the time they got to Gibraltar since the match started to get more lopsided at that point.
Well shit, this sounds pretty awesome!
