It often was discussed so offhandedly that it would feel like someone was essentially saying "You shouldn't add Koreans to your team unless you're already a team of Koreans." Like I said, that isn't what they meant, but it is how it sounded.
One of the reasons I love Shock winning is their mixed roster. I've always kinda been irked when the commentators (rightly or not) point out the communication problems within mixed rosters. It feels vaguely xenophobic even if they're just discussing the difficult reality of learning languages.
Wait so Runaway lost the same day Titans did.
That's one massive coincidence. Also we got baited hard, goddammit why they'd have to choke.
No expected Sinaatra and Super to improve like they did. Also, I can't believe a mixed-language roster can communicate so well.
Crusty, man.
Crusty is clearly the best coach in OWL right now IMO. He's proven himself with Boston and how far they fell after he left, to now with the Shock.
But still, gotta give credit to the players as well. They don't have Crusty with them in the game and their communication is insane. The most team heavy meta ever and a mixed roster is dominating. Sinatraa had insane coordination with Choi and Viol2t yesterday for example. They're insane.
Doesn't hurt that they have the best Zarya and Rein in the world and a top 3 at minimum Zen/Lucio/D.Va. The only semi weak link on the team is Rascal and he's not bad at all, just doesn't stand out compared to the top Brigs like Haksal.
I'd really hesitate to not call Rascal a top 3 Brig. The reason they swapped over to him instead of Architect starting on Brig is because he has an ability to clutch and find plays that others will miss in the heat of the moment(paraphrasing Super? here). He's had hero moments in the last few games, especially when he and Sinatraa clutched holding Point A Blizzardworld yesterday. If you don't put Rascal in the top 3 Brigs I don't know who else can go there. Haksal's the obvious and it still feels fucking bizarroworld to me that he went from bot to god, but the only other brigs that have stood out to me is Erster

Honestly, yeah, your post made me think about it. Not a lot of Brigs stand out. So while Rascal does look worse compared to Haksal, yeah he's probably still top 3. Profit is a god Brig as well, or... at least he was, but since he's on Zarya duty due to Birdring's shortcomings we don't get to see it anymore.
I had Shock like mid tier before the season when everyone else was putting them top 4 and shitTitans and?
I feel like Optimus was super confident in the Shock pre-season...
Ah gotchaI had Shock like mid tier before the season when everyone else was putting them top 4 and shit
1. Sinatraa was ass in World Cup goats so I was assuming that wouldn't change(it did)
2. I never once thought Super would play and that Smurf would be the starter, who I think is mediocre(he did play and was insanely good somehow)
3. I thought Moth was just decent but he went like 📈 out of nowhere
Liquidpedia's got nothing on what roles he played in the past, anybody know?
EDIT: He's a flex support
Haksal has better English than Architect , and probably is a better in-game leader. I remember Crusty subbing in Babybay in stage 4 over Architect for the latter.
So I'm not sure how the All-Star stuff works, but will Surefour get to defend his title in the Widow 1v1 even though he's not on the All-Star team?
Yeah, the day 1 festivities are seperate from the proper All-Star game the next day
What the fuckSurefour just said on his stream he wasn't invited to the Widow 1v1. :(
K this is stupid lolSurefour just said on his stream he wasn't invited to the Widow 1v1. :(
What the actual fuckSurefour just said on his stream he wasn't invited to the Widow 1v1. :(
What is the point of the event then if the champ can't defend? LmaoSurefour just said on his stream he wasn't invited to the Widow 1v1. :(
Yeah, this is beyond stupidWhat is the point of the event then if the champ can't defend? Lmao
Apparently they were physically fucking fightingCan't find a source for it but apparently him and Xepher were not getting along. Don't know if it had anything to do with this but we'll see soon I guess
Deal has been in the works for awhile, the 3 have been accused of boosting
