:candle: for Fusion, so close to stage playoffs again. Hope most of the roster will stay the same next season. Hyped for league playoffs though.

The two-way player thing is awesome, that means players on bench can still participate in tournaments and show their worth, meaning we might see more trades or less permabenched players. Really looking forward to that.

Do you guys go for the Nerd-signal just like the Bat-signal?

hopefully in jail, unironically

- OWL: 
- Contenders NA: 
- Contenders EU:
- Contenders CN:
- Contenders KR:
- Contenders PAC:
- Contenders AU:
- Contenders SA:

So for me:

• OWL: Philadelphia Fusion. I started following them because of ShaDowBurn and Carpe and I'm not disappointed. Their content is super cool to watch and their MVP is Chef Heidi. Also they are nice enough to host homeless analysts in their treehouse sometimes.
• Contenders NA: XL2. It was really hard to choose between Alarm/WhoRU and Mangachu/Fl0w3r/Nenne, but XL2 wins my heart in the end. Special mention to OpTic Academy for Kaiser though.
• Contenders EU: British Hurricane. Kragie, Kyb and bock are absolute monsters and it's a delight to watch them play. Also nice strats.
• Contenders CN: LGD Gaming. I did not follow the chinese scene that much, but Eileen and Shy are amazing to watch.
• Contenders KR: RunAway. I've been in love with the boys in pink and their parents Runner and Flowervin since I first heard of them in APEX season 2. They're going through tough times but they can pull it out and they deserve to go huge. RUNAWAY FIGHTING
• Contenders PAC: Yoshimoto Encount. I am a total outsider of the pacific scene but the japanese boys deserve some recognition given how bad of a spot the Overwatch japanese scene is in. Honorable mention to Blank Esports.
• Contenders AU: Masterminds GC. I know nothing of the AU pros besides yuki, so GO YUKI
• Contenders SA: Isurus Gaming. I've barely watched the SA games but I heard Isurus was great so I took a look and they indeed look really good.

whatever team he decides to go to, I'll support his decision.

:candle:

:can

Pay me the plane and I'm coming I'm not kidding I know someone to host me and I can pay for food and I'm free this weekend

you people really want mendo in lmao i love it

So now, you can vote for your OWL All-Star team for each division: https://twitter.com/overwatchleague/status/1002590077887787008?s=19
Let's share your teams and discuss them!

For my Atlantic division team I went with:

• Carpe
• Libero
• Gesture
• MekO
• JJonak
• ArK

Mostly NYXL players because they're so good, plus Gesture who's an awesome tank and most importantly Carpe, my favorite player of the whole league.

Pacific division team is this:

• Fleta
• Surefour
• Fissure
• Space
• Shaz
• Gambler

Fleta, Shaz and Fissure were the first obvious choices. Choosing an offtank was a bit harder but in the end I went with Space because he's really good at the game. Then Surefour and Gambler because I love them and they're doing great imo.

What are everyone's teams?

I know we are competing hard with Reddit

We're really not
over.gg is here to follow the Overwatch competitive scene, while Reddit is here because it is. It exists because it's what subreddits do. As much as I like /r/compow, it's just a clusterfuck.

Only improvements I might like to see on the site is the inclusion of coach information on the team pages. Actually that'd be huge.

YES PLEASE ENIGMASTER

Like currently for OWL we just have some kinda confusing standings in the "summary" section but I think we could expand this into win streaks and power rankings and such to really make it pop.

We actually have those on the Teams section of the website.

and a bit more in depth discussion of balance and patch changes.

Usually those happen in the comments of the articles describing every patch. What I would like to have though is metagame discussion: sharing ideas to counter some comps, discussion on how to deal with some combos, strategy ideas, etc. I don't think there's anything like that anywhere. All it takes is starting a thread on the forums, and I would personally be down to discuss this kind of stuff because it's really interesting to me, so if anyone wants, go ahead!

Overall I think the website is in a really good place. Most people know that the website exists, everyone goes here for schedule, events and teams and also for the amazing news coverage our wonderful redactors give us, and the most active members regroup in a great community that is fun and great to hang out with, whether it is on the website or on Discord.

(Also this should probably have gone in "Site Discussion"?)

🕯️

PoiChamp report as always! Thanks for the useful info <3

I genuinely wonder if Geguri will play Zarya or Brigitte.

Canadian Frenches translating everything from English to the literal French translation is one of my favorite things ever.

But "Sport Électronique"... That's the best. This is peak Québec. They solved the question of how we shoud write "esports" in the best way possible. I love it. Vive le Québec.

yehhHHhHhHHHHHHhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Geguri, LiNkzr, ArK, SBB are all so nice, gentle, funny and their communities are lovely.

Seagull and Custa, because they deal with things in a very professional way.

Fissure, because he know how to express his opinion properly while still being funny when he can.

In the Outlaws it's mainly Rawkus. Don't really know about the other teams though.

LET'S GO FUSION

I BELIEVE

On Winston, most likely. On Reinhardt, probably not. Maybe he will be on Orisa too though.

TSEINI PogChamp

Write her name correctly you NA scrubs DansGame

#PLEASECOMEBACKMURA

And justice for all.

I'm sorry to inform you that your opinion is not representative of your entire community. I thought you could realize that by yourself.

It isn't about making a joke it's about showing some respect and act like a decent human being. There are tons of ways to make humor without falling into easy discriminatory jokes. Like seriously does behaving correctly in order to live as a community sound like a strange concept to you? Are you so self-entitled that you would want to make your own deprecating humor go before the respect of people?

You're welcome, feel free to indulge in your own ego and tell yourself just how clever you are

indeed

KangaKanga and DixxyDix... You people should recruit Wakawaka and Babybay and make a team of cool sounding names.

Jokes aside, that's a great video, amazing job! Can't wait to see you in the future!

Not at all, Poko is just the only french player in the OWL I don't hate :^)

(jkjk for those who don't know yes I'm a huge Philly fan that's why)

France:

Poko
Poko
Poko
Poko
Poko
Poko

Just hope France doesn't play King's Row.

RUNAWAY FIGHTING

LET'S GO FUSION

BRING US SOME UNDERDOG STORY

When Fusion got to 5 maps against Shanghai Dragons after ShaDowBurn got a 3k clutch Dragonblade but no one could capitalize on it

agreed, ez for shanghai

Amazing stuff! I recognized some neat names in that too, hope you can make yourself a name too with performances like that!

He'll most likely play for NYXL as soon as he turns 18. He was on the XL2 roster initially but got replaced by Mangachu with the announcement that players who turn 18 can play as soon as they turn 18 instead of at the beginning of next stage.

Why not Tokyo Shogun, would sound better imo. Or Kyoto Shogun.

Sideshow is the absolute memelord of stupid situations. Back in TF2 he was streaming from a small shack in his garden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULIGM3JHckY

His whole YouTube channel is a diamond mine tbh.

RUNAWAY FIGHTING

:D no.

Please don't use a serious cause to make a joke about something ridiculous thanks

Anyone except players I love tbh

Please no get those 3 out of Dallas

I WANT TO GET IT TOO

You sure have a very weird definition of what makes a good Genji

There's a lot more than blades, Mangachu has the ability to draw attention from his team while playing really carefully and defensively to avoid getting picked. He's poking enough damage to be more than annoying to make people pay attention to him and actually creates space for himself, Midnight and Nenne while avoiding to die.

Plus he's made really quick progress on Genji given it was a hero he wasn't playing much until recently (that's why he wasn't in the OWL to begin with, people saw him as a "Pharah one-trick"), so he does deserve a praise imo.

I was first, the others just stole my news. Plus at least I didn't just put a link AM I RIGHT wink wink

Well that's some news.

https://twitter.com/TOesports/status/972893018348052483

He's playing tonight, really late announcement
