[WTG]

Madness... my old friend

Only caught the last map.

Wtf was Chengdu doing there? Can someone explain the strategy?

They were trying to tele up to the sniper spot behind so they could play reverse bunker, but that's really bad, so they died

Looked like a cluster****. Seems like teams will pull any wacky strategies to beat the Titans, which is likely in Titans' best interest. I've never seen a team so spawn camped like that in OWL so far.

Hunters are also a very wacky team who just has no interest in playing traditional team compositions, they'd rather just play DPS heroes. In the Hunters and Titans first matchup this season, which was in stage 1, the Hunters were actually spawn camping the Titans on Route 66, then the Titans just ran past them and pushed the car while making the Hunters attack them, it was pretty awesome to see live

Also, here's the full match

Game day today, I'll be at the watch party at the Ready Set Pwn table so come say hi if you stop by!

 

[Rowlet]

Putting Stitch in on the Sombra completely revitalized this team. jjanu’s Zarya was a significant downgrade on SMS as well as SMS’s sombra was very lacking.

Stage 3 playoffs starts tomorrow, Titans playing at 6PM, there's a meet up party at the brand new eSports Stadium in Richmond!

Stitch has gotta be in the conversation for one of the top Sombra in the league now.

 

[Wall of Wonder]

Titans out in the 2nd round. Hopefully they can do better next time.

they lost in the semis, but the team they lost to, lowest seed, did end up winning the stage playoffs and they beat the 3 top teams in the league. Titans fell a bit in the league rankings, but based on what we've seen, they're still a top 3 team and the upcoming stage will have some of the hardest games of the year.

Yeah we have high expectations for this team, but a 6-1 stage is great and a semifinals with a loss to the eventual winner is an adequate playoff appearance. Mostly bummed about how the Titans just got off the point and lost, it felt like things were just turning around and they probably could have beaten the Shock.

f***. I know nothing at all about this besides it’s a bunch of Ko-ree-ans being paid to play video games competitively. But there’s a person out there from Shanghai who has made my life so my much worse than I ever thought one person could, so Vancouver losing to Shanghai in literally anything hurts, and hurts badly.

Titans hosting home games at Rogers Arena in 2020, schedule and tickets announced next month

Homecoming: What’s New In 2020

also changes to the season format for 2020

Edit:

There will be between 2 and 5 homestand weekends at the Rog next season

@Rowlet have you watched any of team Canada’s tryouts? Mouffin looks to be outplaying Note.

rn I would have the team as:

Surefour
Agilities
XQC
Mouffin
Crimzo
Bani?

Mangachu as a sub.

I also wonder if any Titans will crack the team. The DPS line is in tough, and I think they take Mano over Bumper. Jjanu has an outside shot depending on the meta. Twilight and Slime are a good of a duo as any.

My best guess is Slime only

I've watched a lot of it, I even interviewed Mouffin! A Few Words with Mouffin: Canada’s Next Overwatch Star — Ready Set Pwn

I would do S4, xQc, Mouffin, Crimzo, Mangachu and I'm between Bani and Zholik for main support, then one of Ezire or Agilities for the last DPS spot. I see Mangachu as a better Pharah but worse Genji, but if they want the option for double sniper, Ezire is a better Hanzo than Agilities.

For team SK, someone accidentally leaked their scrim roster.

Jjanu, Bumper and Slime were in a custom lobby being spectated by Crusty, the SK head coach, ofc this is likely only one of many scrim blocks the SK team did.

 

[Pip]

Just an embarrassment of riches for SK

Lmao so Aquilini totally broke an nda tweeting about home games however many months back

Yeah but that's not surprising, pro Overwatch is leak city. Not only did everybody know that 2-2-2 role lock rule change was coming but Blizzard accidentally posted their own announcement video several days early. Then, the next day they accidentally posted a picture of the new hero Sigma on the Spanish version of their website.

 

[Rowlet]

Twilight and Jjanu are in the top 5 for season MVP

 

[Rowlet]

a new rule was changed for stage 4, every team has to play 2 tanks, 2 dps and 2 supports, so we're gonna see a lot more flanking plays and snipers from the Titans today! We'll probably see Pharah, Genji, and Tracer played today for the Titans
