tbh if my team flew me out to korea and then immediately tried to fly me back to na during a global pandemic, I'd want to leave too

tho if all the people that removed titans stuff from their bios are gone, can they even get the players for a full 6 man team?

Worst case scenario they start going down the top 500 list and try and find 6 scabs who will play for whatever 50k/number of games is.

It's honestly just going to be waves of drama until owl sputters out and the non-toxic players have all jumped ship.

At that point they'd be competing with boosting in valorant which is probably going to be more lucrative than any potential owl per game microcontract

The reddit forum is guessing a combination of third impact and the cn rumor is that the Titans are looking into gen g players.

Apparently two Titans are already transferred to other teams, one of which is haksal.

Hero pools now use OWL data and the algorithm is being changed to reduce ping-pong. Plus other changes not relevant for OWL.

I wonder what the highest ranked team they could put together in each of those games from that pool of recruits is.

They're likening it to real sports, where teams face each other on the preseason, but otherwise face B-Teams or their own reserves, instead of other teams, for practice. It's still a dumb rear end take, mind, that's not how any of this works here

Ok hear me out.

If some OWL teams are regularly getting stomped in scrims vs contenders teams, then ma-

i can't finish this sentence. Holy poo poo. I thought OWL teams already didn't scrim their upcoming match opponents anyway? That's enough.

I like that they think "discoverability" is the problem on Youtube. I know OWL is on Youtube, I just don't like watching streams on Youtube and think the quality is rear end. The Youtube switch coupled with the lack of any live atmosphere, and the team I cheer for being garbage, is enough of a reason to get me to stop watching. I haven't watched any OWL in a few weeks and don't miss it at all.

my TV's YT app hangs and stutters trying to watch the stream while the twitch one works fine. That alone has made me watch half as much down from seeing every s1 and s2 game streamed live
