OT: Vancouver Titans | Overwatch ESports League

[Dr Good Vibes]

Omg Haksal

 

[Rowlet]

we're getting pooooped on

 

[Pip]

Shock just a class above. Titans are playing well but the Shock are on another level from everyone else.

 

[WTG]

:-/

 

[Pip]

Titans were always weak against the Bastian comps. Jjanu and Tizi have been weaker in the Reaper/doom mirror.

Hate to see it

 

[Siludin]

What deal with the Devil have the Aquilinis made?

 

[Dr Good Vibes]

Haha welcome to Vancouver guys

 

[Pip]

Clearly the way of the future is an expanded roster with more specialists. They had to have known the Shock were going to run these Bastian strats.

I thought SMS had a fantastic series personally. Easily their best player today.

Season 2 Grand Finals - full match.

 

[Wilch]

I still find it fascinating how far e-sports has taken off in North America compared to 10 years ago.

Sigma, Baptiste, Orisa nerfs coming make that Bastion comp a little easier to kill.
If those PTR changes came through ahead of the match yesterday, double-shield bunker would not have been so dominant and the map would probably have been more open.
Winston changes look promising, and Rein should be slightly more competitive when they are nerfing the two more popular options.
Too bad Bumper sucked so much after GOATs was patched. and They needed a bit of his gusto.
TiZi wasn't horrible and he got a few picks throughout the match.
Jjanu was very bad. Maybe his worst match.
Dive is probably more viable next season. Let's hope the Titans can be a bit more flexible as changes come through.

I’m excited for what the future brings. Obviously a lot of talent on this roster. They are missing a world class hitscan player but have most of the other bases covered. Would probably be useful to obtain another offtank player. jjanu is great but sometimes a player and hero don’t match, or even if they do it may take time. SFS had Nevix ready to go if Choi didn’t adjust well to sigma for example.

Biggest storyline this year for me has been SMS. He has really showed up this year in different roles and in clutch moments.

2020 I think is the year where Stitch establishes himself though. He is crazy talented.

 

[Rowlet]

as per Twitter, Harsha has been poached by the Outlaws, congrats to Harsha for the chance to be a head coach at the highest level after constructing this years Shock lineup and the Titans success. Also thanks for all you've done for the team this year.

 

[Rowlet]

world cup group stage starts today on twitch at 10am, South Korea and Canada are among the top teams so they skip group stage but will be open for media today, they play tomorrow

 

[Pip]

Man. RIP Canada so hard

 

[Hansen]

Honestly I cant support OWL now considering Blizzards actions in support of China and against the shit going on in Hong Kong

 

[Rowlet]

Man. RIP Canada so hard

yeah canada wasn't prepared at all. Note played so poorly.

also everyone else, article of mine coming out today, full of leaks, TiZi is LFT, Titans have reportedly signed moody all-star main tank Fissure and talks about trading bumper

 

[Pip]

Jehong too?

 

[Hansen]

Very mad about Bumper

Happy about Ryujehong

Conflicted, also what happens to Twilight/Slime now?

 

[Rowlet]

so grumpy

 

[Pip]

Conflicted, also what happens to Twilight/Slime now?

also unhappy about moving Bumper, especially since the only main tank they have right now is Fissure. If they got mag then sure. At the end of the day Bumper is not the most skilled main tank but it seemed unnecessary to let him go and he is such a big part of the team culture. Tizi is really solid too. It’s puzzling.


twilight is a much better player than Jehong. I believe the only things Jehong might have on him is Moira. Also gives the options for Bap/Ana comps as Slime seems subpar moving over to flex support. Slime is arguably the MVP of thus team with Haksal imo. He is incredibly safe for the starting the main support spot, even if they went out and got another one.

Jehong is a veteran and a legend in the sport, I’m sure his presence will be beneficial to the team which is obviously quite young but I doubt he starts.

The team needs another offtank (backup). Hopefully with the ability to play Sigma at a high level and needs a backup main tank. @Rowlet do you have much info on Fissure’s ability on something like Ball? Obviously a Jjanu specialty but the tank line doesn’t have the flexibility to cover.

This is still an insanely talented team and definitely a contender but maybe a little more meta dependent. Would love to see more Stitch to see if he can prove himself as an elite hitscan player. Heard the meta is Hanzo/Mei which I don’t necessarily love for this team.

side note- I think Rapel is super talented and will have lots of success if given the opportunity with his new team (Huston Right? Too lazy to look it up)

Yes houston

No idea about Fissure's ball ability, move is full of question marks

it’s weird. When every team is going for more depth the Titans have gotten rid of depth. No depth at the tank position. Limited depth at DPS. No depth for main support. With all the travel it’s going to be tough

it's ok, RunAway is only good every 2nd year anyways

 

[Pip]

@Rowlet do you think Stitch could be a top tier hitscan player? I think he’s shown high end ability, but I question the consistency aspect.

SMS seems to have a funky hero pool. I never followed him pre OWL. Top 3 Zarya in GOATS, very good Reaper player, weird Mccree player. Disappointing on Hanzo (I think he was tried there along with Hooreg and Stitch) Interested to see what is next for him in whatever meta we end up with.
