There are now 2 teams in OWL that have won more games in stage 4 than in the other 3 stages combined
Time for a necro: knowing what we know now, which of these teams would be the best (assuming they played during season 2)? I'd probably go with Volamel's team (Detroit), if only because he didn't specify which players would be starters, so he gets the benefit of the doubt over RadoN (Gangnam) who benched Twilight and Decay.
Second Wind, Phase 2, First Generation, Second Generation, Square One, and now, finally, Third Impact.
no engineer no win
I'd probably go with either Haksal or Twilight, but DDing wouldn't be bad either.
So, rookie of the year is probably going to produce a better result for who the mvp is than the actual mvp. Nice.
I'm curious as to why a team with EQO would trade for another brig player, but I guess Kyb would be a good option if for whatever reason EQO wasn't playing. Maybe they can trade for Fusions or Kruise and slam teams with the 3 brit meta.
The showdown to determine the fate of all of Overwatch, at least until they play again in playoffs.
your move, every other team composition
Alternative slightly less hot take: NYXL is an extremely inconsistent team and judging Dallas'/Taimou's performance based on a singular match is useless.
Chengdu number 1 I guess
The big worry comes from the fact that not all of the queues are going to be the same length. Especially at lower levels, the DPS queue time will be 5-10 times longer than tank queue time. Hopefully this will encourage dps players to bite the bullet and learn other heroes, but in a worst-case scenario a decent proportion of the player base might just stop playing.
Well, most teams just lose to Titans and Shock anyways, and if you forced teams to declare starting lineups before the ban phase, you eliminate the problem of shock having the best Tracer player (I'm assuming you're talking about Striker). The issue ends up being that you just don't get to see the best players on their best heroes. Imagine how much less fun games would be if everyone just always banned Zen against Jjonak. Or if DDING and Jinmu never got to play Pharah.
If the goal was to get rid of goats, this is probably the worst way to do it. You could better solve the "problem" while simultaneously allowing for creativity in comp choices by simply deleting brig.
Wait but DPS is a main tank player
I never realized I could want a player to somehow get signed to OWL this much. All of the casters would cower in fear at the prospect of having to say DuDuDuDuDuDu on stream.
I mean if Violet is such a good flex support how could rebellion lose contenders now? It'd be like XL2 having UltraJjonak!
nLw have already clinched their spot in contenders and as such casters will have to say their team name without laughing throughout the entirety of the season.

Vancouver out here speedrunning this series. Two 100-0's and a full hold.
It makes the site not a quite as much of a financial burden for enigma and you can ignore the betting stuff fairly easily
Yuki coming in hot to pull off the upset
Vancouver and Shock are just a tier above everybody else at this point. Not much more to say.
Florida kinda looked better today than they have in the past. Winning control against Philly is a start, and they were fairly competitive on King's Row and Junkertown. If Swon starts playing better and Saya gets more comfortable on brig, the Mayhem could at least pass the University of Waterloo and climb out of the bottom tier of teams.
Unless Gladiators legion sign a new player this will be the contenders debut for xQc
I miss seagull, runner, kresnik, and the crazy shenanigans of hero limit 0. Also I loved the 2016 world cup and how the US went up against the Koreans with Ster on Ana against Jehong and how Muselk's Australia team somehow got a win.
One thing to add is that the stadium itself won't actually open until 2021 so next season the fusion will have to play in an existing location in Philly.

cool to see the Rascal redemption arc getting another chapter
Good to see I was at least right about one of my predictions. I may have been completely wrong about everything else, but I'll take it.
I don't think this is such a great idea. I mean, what will Florida do for away games? TviQ doesn't even have a pilot's license yet!
4 different regions represented on one team is pretty cool. Maybe Gaga can be the next Ameng
I hope the burger was good.
Dafran was... awful tonight. Decay didn't play at his best but he still managed to win the Zarya battle by a wide margin.
I guess NoSmite was the problem?
Soliciting a prostitute in the United States in 2019 is an action that makes human traffickers richer and increases the demand for sex slaves. Actions have consequences beyond the immediate here and now. Willful ignorance of the problems you are indirectly creating through your actions isn't just blinking, it's closing your eyes to the world entirely. He walked into the building knowing there was a very real probability he was paying a human trafficker to have sex with a kidnapped girl who wouldn't ever see a cent of his payment. This wasn't just hiring a prostitute to have sex with him discretely at a motel. The building was a brothel disguised as a spa run by multiple people in a highly organized system.
Depends on whether or not he knew the people running the whole thing were involved in human trafficking.
Alright, I used to have nothing against the 3-3 but after watching my boy Sayaplayer dome the heck out of the Hunters on Busan and still lose my heart kinda broke.
I'll admit it, Jinmu is one hell of a player

I take back everything bad I've said about the new-look Dragons, this team is going to dominate.
because the match doesn't matter and they want to let Danye have some fun would be my guess
Yeah, to be honest I hadn't taken the time to learn everything I possibly could and actually watch a lot of the players joining in season 2. Come to think of it, I'm sort of like the king himself, MYKL, when it comes to my opinions. I'm overly confident, I like to cause controversy, and I want to get things out as fast as possible. So, I guess, treat my posts as if they were coming from him.
As for the Defiant, I remember climax being O2 Ardeont's best DPS player from what limited action I saw of them, which is why I didn't think of Ivy and Stellar as stars, but I could be wrong about that. Neko was good in S1 for Uprising, but I always thought the stars of that team were Gamsu, Striker, and to a lesser extent, DreamKazper before he got kicked out of the league.
I'd agree on the idea that the world cup shows us something about GOATS play, but it's also important to recognize that the nerf to brig makes stun-slam less important, and could completely change the way Zarya is played in that composition.
Profit and birdring both play widow at a roughly equal level. They're both extremely flexible players and Birdring ends up playing more because of Profit's value on other heroes.
Dang it, I knew I wrote something wrong :0. Honestly, the Korean bias is partly me not wanting to put Houston higher because people would think I was crazy and partly me not wanting to completely write off China as a weak region, leading to the inclusion of Charge and Spark where they are. As for Philly, I submit the opinion that Carpe is overrated. Profit can do everything Carpe does at the same level while being much more flexible. When you look at Carpe's signature heroes, Tracer and Widow, there are plenty of players who can outclass him. (SBB, Striker, Profit, and maybe Effect are better Tracers. Pine, Sayaplayer, and Profit are better Widows).
I wish I knew more about each team's brig play, for sure. We've never really seen any of the s1 teams run GOATS, which is why I put Vancouver as high as I did. They're the one team we know for certain can run GOATS and win with it.
He's only getting playing time because Chengdu couldn't sign a player who managed to get himself cut from both LA teams
Good ol' Harb coming back to get that chicken contendies dinner
Wait, what? Why'd they cut Tizi and Woohyal if they were going to sign 2 Koreans anyway?
