Yes, pun in the title. I'll try to make this a habit. Anyways,
1) Undead and Xushu of the Shanghai Dragons engaged in account sharing and management was a n g e r y.

2) Wakawaka made KDP a n g e r y and has been suspended from competitive Overwatch for some period of time.

Two things.
1) Tyrodin has announced that he won't be coming, and he'll be replaced by Fasffy.
2) If M17 loses to Kephrii's Meme Team, I hope they'll be obligated to disband
Since I'm bored, let's throw my hat into the ring. For this, I'm theorizing what happens if OWL has 14 teams instead of 12.
If OWL does expand to 14 teams, I am 99% certain the two new teams are Las Vegas and Chicago.
Rogue is not gonna buy the Paris spot, they're an NA org after all and have HQs in Vegas, Rogue has even confirmed they tried to buy the Vegas spot.
So the Las Vegas spot (let's give them a hypothetical name - the Gamblers) is owned by Rogue, and the current Rogue team would definitely be on it. Who else would be on the Gamblers? Well, I have a feeling they'll take a gamble (totally did not pick the name for a pun, I swear) and field the League's smallest team (well, alongside Florida). I don't know why, but it just seems very unlikely that Rogue will expand their roster. The Rogue roster has been going strong (at least until Contenders Season One, and they did look pretty good after they left Canada) for the better part of 2017, so the talent and camaraderie's already there, I don't see the need to expand the roster. At the very least, they may add Kolsti, who was a sub for Rogue during Contenders and a dedicated tank main, unlike KnOxXx.
So,
Las Vegas Gamblers
Now that SoOn and uNKOE has been taken, who fills their spots on VALLA (LA Valiant)? For SoOn, I have a hunch that MikeyA takes his spot. MikeyA has worked with SPACE, one of VALLA's pickups, on C9 EU before (I would like to mention that both MikeyA and SPACE are not under C9 contract, they're stand-ins, so it's possible that no buyouts were involved, making it much easier to get MikeyA), so it isn't exactly a stretch. It's also possible that silkthread picks up the role of Tracer player, instead of being a flex DPS. For uNKOE, I'm not too sure. Perhaps they bring in the supports from C9 EU (i.e. Greyy or neptuNo if he wasn't snagged by Fusion already), or they bring in some more Korean talent, maybe from envy or FaTe and KariV's old teams (Rhinos' Gaming Wings and Mighty AOD, now Ardeont respectively).
Onto Chicago next. The Milwaukee Bucks owner was already in the talks of a Chicago OWL spot, so it makes this hypothetical much easier. Let's just say the buy-in was successful in this case. As mentioned in the article, if the Chicago spot (again, we'll give them a hypothetical name - the Chicago Bears) actually existed, it would be run by FlyQuest. FlyQuest is a League (of Legends) org, with experience of running a mixed Korean/Western roster. It would be most likely that the Bears would present a mixed roster, perhaps something similar to harsha's Pellets team. Because I'm too lazy to build a roster right now, we'll steal harsha's team and adapt from there.
We'll strike all those that are unlikely (or impossible, see the Gamblers) to be on the Bears from the Tyrants. aKm, Sayaplayer, Void. aKm's on another team, and Sayaplayer and Void have both mentioned they aren't willing to be in OWL (at least, not on a Western team). Who else would be on the Bears? Well, Davin and zappis have played together on Gigantti, so it's plausible that the Bears takes what's remained of Gigantti. Davin's also a pretty decent Tracer and hitscan in general, so the Bears have settled their lack of Tracer/hitscan player, although their DPS lineup is still pretty empty. Considering RunAway being the top team in Korea, current financial woes, and Runner being open to his players leaving the team if need be, we might see the DPS duo of Haksal and Stitch coming onto the Chicago Bears. Perhaps even KoX could join as a DPS/support flex. If we're going there we might some of MY (one of the players, don't remember which one, mentioned they are learning basic English to join Western teams. Also don't remember where the source is, just trust me).
So,
Chicago Bears
I've spent way too long on this. But hey, that's just a theory, a League Theory. Thanks for reading.
It's actually the Shock's Contenders Team. No bamboozle
/s
They've mentioned that at the start the teams will play separately before they gel together. Once they've known each other better they'll mix players from both teams
Also both teams rotating in for the same match is probably only for the preseason, since everyone needs to play
Finally, an all-Korean roster that doesn't have Sayaplayer in it
To the guy updating the ticker: Shock finished Horizon with 2:41 left
which one - the one in qualifiers or the one at Blizzcon?
Gonna steal Sideshow's thunder.
Barroi of Winston's Lab has revealed his roster: the Busan Beach Boys
https://twitter.com/ChayneOW/status/936669482029903872
https://twitter.com/Fahzix_/status/936460787010424833
Chayne and Fahzix (both played for eV during APAC) will be playing for Blank in the Heroes Rumble. Chayne will be playing main tank, Fahzix main support. Trill (former Blank main tank) will be moving to flex support.
Fahzix is only trialing for Blank (not joining just yet), Chayne presumably as well
If we're following NFL rules (or something similar), suspended players do not get paid when they are suspended
Edit: actually most sport leagues follow this rule, not just the NFL
They just kicked SADO out, and 12-1=11
go join the kr ladder then, he's still there
Rosters are now locked until the mid-season signing period. EscA left and Seoul couldn't replace him

SADO does not appear in any official OWL database anymore. SADO was infamous in Korea for boosting and was a controversial pick for the Philly team.
No fun puns in the title today, soz

The official post is long and in Chinese, but it essentially says that MY's OW team is temporarily disbanding due to poor scrim results and are branching into other games. Their last appearance will be on the Nexus Cup Annual Finals.
Also first post :p
Am I doing this right?
