Boston lost Crusty, Neko, Striker and Gamsu within months of each other, not to mention DK which wasn't there fault.

Things aren't looking too good for kraft

San Francisco Shock:

8F3rATsMsDG.


Ever since their announcement as a team in OWL. it was clear parent company NRG was betting their future on young talent like Sinaatra and Super who were too young to play for the first half of the League. Now, coming in 2019, Shock has vastly revamped their roster by not only signing top tier Korean talent like Rascal and Viol2t, but also signing Crusty , who was considered by some the best head coach in the league. With 12 players that can fill any role, and an even split of talented of Korean and Western players, Crusty has all the ingredients in the world to cook up a gourmet of a team. Shock has no reservations to spend that cash money young money to be the best, evidenced by their Striker buyout from Boston, who was regarded as the best Tracer in Season 1.

With genius players like Moth and truly flexible underrated stars like Nevix, the San Francisco Shock are truly going to #shocktheworld this season. This is a team that can win the entire league, folks.

Thanks :)

Shock and Dallas are both my favorite teams, so I know the most about them, I can't say the same for the rest.

I might write on LAG if no one else steps up but I'm afraid I'm a filthy casual so the text won't be as good as these :( I know there's some LAG fans here better fit for that job at least 👀

INAUGURAL CHAMPIONS OF THE OVERWATCH LEAGUE

The most electrifying franchise in the history of sports entertainment returns for season two as the reigning champions. From their humble beginnings as a fusion of two of the best teams Pre-Overwatch League, including GC Busan after their Royal Road victory at Apex, they were always set to be a force. Though success is far from a formality and takes grit and determination as the team has faced issues with form and injuries but when they get it right they are class above any other team in the League. The front line of Profit and Birdring is one of the deadliest DPS duos in the game's history, matched by their tank team of Fury and Gesture who are the most complimentary tank pairing all being supported by the ever reliable Nus and surprisingly deadly Bdosin. This season sees them joined by Contenders DPS star Guard and Tier 3 player Krillin who is set to show his worth. Previous General Manager Lil Susie has seen herself promoted within Cloud 9 and has been replaced by former Team Manager Robin.

The future looks bright for the boys in blue as they look set to defend their title and continue a dynasty cementing themselves in history as the undisputed Champions of Esports.

I might have to remove the spoiler pic though haha.

Representing the Big Apple itself, NYXL was an Overwatch League season one powerhouse, plowing through teams in the leagues initial stages and ending with an unmatched 39 - 11 win to loss ratio. With a fully stacked crew, including jack of all trades, Libero, the wild-card Widowmaker, Pine, and the leader of the bunch, and best Tracer in the world, Saebyeolbe, they were thought unstoppable - Until tragedy struck. Despite being on top of the league, and the world, NYXL were hit with a deadly case of Sandbagitis after choking on a plate of well grilled Carpe, and it cost them the very thing they worked so hard to achieve, the very thing they deserved above all others. The Overwatch Grand Championship.

But the boys have trained hard and bounced back, and though other teams have made huge sweeping changes, with almost entire rosters being traded out, NYXL have stayed true to it's core roster, only adding two XL2 DPS players, Nenne and Fl0w3r. Pundits and casters have all asked "How will NYXL possibly contend against these brand new, fully stacked teams?"

The NYXL reply? "We have a JJoNak". Ever Upward.

^^ Hope thats okay..if not, then it's cool fam
Wow thanks so much! It looks great! I love it! I'll add you to the list and use this on the new OP! Hope you don't mind me changing the text color to reflect the team's colors though!
NO DONT, see if optimus8936 and The_Strokes have time first >_< I won't have it done before the weekend
Oh it doesn't have to be done by the time that the new OP is ready! I know for sure that I won't get every team ready to go since many of them are still newish. So I will still upload the OP and if people volunteer to write something nice for a team that needs it then I'll edit the OP!

I could write something for the Justice since I think I'm the only person in the thread so far that may attempt to root for them. But what I write would probably end up with me just trashing the team thanks to many years of disappointment in DC area sports teams.

Hey anything works! If it's criticism it's criticism! As long as they have someone in their team then that's good enough. Would you be okay with me adding you as their rep?
Okay great! Mariip will be replaced with The_Strokes!

GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE.
I got you, my man.

Okay so we have for those who will be writing a small thing or paragraph for a team in the new OP:
Still need someone for
  • Atlanta Reign
  • Boston Uprising
  • Chengdu Hunters
  • Guangzhou Charge
  • Hangzhou Spark
  • Florida Mayhem
  • Paris Eternal
  • Philadelphia Fusion
  • Seoul Dynasty
  • Shanghai Dragons
  • Toronto Defiant
  • Vancouver Titans
If I don't get one for a team then I will just copy an excerpt from their official team description.
Well I was going to do one for Uprising as I championed them during Season 1 but...


Apparently the org just wants to keep ruining this team! Half the team is basically gone now after how well they came together last time. That leaves, what? Striker, Note, and Aimgod at this point and as much as I like the latter two, the second Striker is traded or whatever, I'm done with this team. Maybe I'll write something up for Dynasty then because I don't know what I'd say about Uprising now.

Well I guess you're done with the team, Striker was traded back in December.

The fuck, really? Where have I been? Might not have posted much in here during off season but I still checked in but I missed that one. Yeah, my love for Uprising is done now. Dynasty it is then. Yeah, yeah, Fissure I know but still. Don't remember who brought up the idea for everyone listing three teams this season but I did like that idea and if we went with that, I have to figure out two slots now. Ugh. Thanks for letting me know.
