also, many of the players had offers for OWL in the inaugural season but they wanted to stay together, they also are the fan favourites because they crowd sourced their way to being a real contenders team

For hockey analogies:

Support (medic) = playmaker
Damage = goalscorer
Tank = defence

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

This is fun
I sadly don’t have anytime for online gaming these days but it is worth a watch if you are into this genre

^ this, also if you hear them say "three three" a lot it refers to the team lineup called Goats, where you play three tanks and three healers and just rush the opponents
