OT: Vancouver Titans | Overwatch ESports League

[Canucks LB]

watched all the matches, titans are insane.
Bumper is either incredible or 2 aggressive haha

New Titan Tales video out today

 

[WTG]

Down 0-1

 

[Rowlet]

Titans often have a harder time while playing 2 matches in one week in the regular season, both times it happened in stage 1, the match against the worse team went to 5 games

 

[Rowlet]

that was much more to form

 

[Pip]

Why run 3-3 into the Titans

 

[Rowlet]

wow that was incredible

 

[WTG]

Back to stomping.

 

[Rowlet]

team doesn't look good

 

[WTG]

Uh oh

 

[WTG]

Jesus, Bumper just destroyed them

 

[Rowlet]

wow Bumper just rolled Houston, he's so much better than Muma and the Outlaws easily could have won that

 

[WTG]

There we go.

Aquilini needs to do everything he can to keep all of these guys together for the long haul. They could become icons in Vancouver over time if they keep winning. Just fantastic.

 

[WTG]

Twilight/Slime/Haksal are really good, but if the meta changes to 3 DPS won't they need another DPS player?
Would they need to sign a new player?

The team wants to stay together luckily, they opted to spend a full year playing in a tier 2 league in Korea (which is honestly just as good as OWL) to wait for Haksal to turn 18 so they could all join the same team.

Since Overwatch as a game is meant to have players be as flexible in terms of roles as possible, the player who plays Brigitte is actually the projectile DPS player, not a flex-healer, just like the Zarya player is the flex-DPS player. The reason this is like this is because Goats looks like this:

Main Tank: Winston/Reinhardt
Off-Tank: Diva
Flex-Tank: Zarya
Main Support: Lucio
Off-Support: Brigitte
Flex-Support: Zenyatta/Ana

Now compare that with Dive, another very strong team comp.

Main Tank: Winston
Off-Tank: Diva
Flex-DPS: Genji
Main Support: Lucio
Off-Support: Sombra
Flex-Support: Zenyatta

The reason it works like that is because in an instant, Haksal and SeoMinSoo can switch to Sombra and Genji and they are immediately playing a completely different style of Overwatch where they manage to keep 4 of their ultimates charged up. Also, Winston/Reinhardt is called Main Tank because they are the ones who stand in the front and soak up a ton of damage while making space for the rest of the team. Diva and Brig are off tanks/supports because they don't really do traditional tank/support things, but that's their role. The Flex slot is because they are the flexible position who changes to DPS or changes hero depending on what's necessary. Lucio is a main support because you can't play Overwatch without Lucio, he's not only the most important support but throughout the game's history he's been one of the most vital heroes regardless of team composition. Before Korean Contenders season 2, Haksal was known as a premiere Genji player. Stitch is the lead hitscan player and Seominsoo can play a bit of hitscan, a bit of projectile DPS and Hooreg is there to fill in if the team needs 2x hitscan or 2x sniper in the lineup at once.

If the Titans do decide to shore up their DPS however, there are lots of great DPS players around, DPS is the least valuable position to purchase because of GOATS and because it's the easiest of the 3 roles to fill, they can also purchase DPS players from other teams for just money, no player assets required.

So if the meta changes the Titans are still in good shape. Let's hope that it stays GOATs because they could very well win stage 2.

I love the fighting chants from the Korean fans.
I wish the west would adopt it too.

Yeah, the stage 2 playoffs will be hotly contested, there will be more than 8 teams who deserve to be there and up to 4 teams could go undefeated, the Shock, NYXL, Titans, Hunters and Gladiators all have fairly easy schedules, however the Hunters and Gladiators do play each other.

I love the fighting chants from the Korean fans.
I wish the west would adopt it too.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome, hopefully the Titans get dedicated fans here too.

Haksal is a DPS player and they have Stitch as well.

 

[Hit the post]

I almost forgot what a winning local team felt like outside the VCR Canadian s.

speaking of DPS, Haksal got a sick 7k on his stream last night
