GFE need to get a grip.
I think their team comms just completely fell apart. 2 were flanking without the other 3.
You're in the minority on that, then, I would guess. Medivh is probably the cheesiest hero in the game and Glaurung OTP's him like he used to Zeratul.
Team8 didn't do much more at Western Clash, to be honest. They were better, but it's not like any of the 3 are really going to do anything to anyone most likely.
I think fnatic and dig didn't stand still either and got even better than the last clash so it's going to be uphill but I think we are going to get the best showing na has done in a while since c9 if TS and T8 goes to the brawl.
Edit: the camera man was so horrified by that failed gank he censored the cassia reverse gank lol.

He's really fun
Cause there are other heroes who are more annoying. We really need 2 bans. Anub is basically autobanned at this point. (and this "always the same first ban" issue has been a problem w/ only one upfront ban ever since they were implemented.)
I dunno, man. I fail to see how anything they could get their hands on would be more fearsome than Glaurung and Justing's personal pocket picks. Anything else they are less comfortable with, and outside of Anub and Malf nothing is grossly OP right now to my knowledge.
EDIT: likely GG for Team8. Can we get them a sponsor already?

GFE took a fight a talent tier down and 4v5, with a shaman camp on their keep...
who is their shotcaller?

mvp are the only ones that have ever done that convincingly.
That makes a lot of sense. Maybe that's why they took him in for a show match in HGC.
Not sure if you followed it back then, but at the beginning of the 2016 season Bob Ross Fan Club nearly signed with TSM. They chose Naventic instead (was a better deal offered according to Zuna), and we haven't really heard much about any TSM/HOTS links since.
And VainGlory pro scene is pretty fun to watch. I was rooting for Gankstars in this last event they had this weekend.
I wish. Would be all over that. Bob Ross Fan Club was the perfect heel team in it's original composition and great for TSM, but Glaurung is the perfect TSM player himself. Cocky and skilled but also sometimes a little overconfident and gets humbled...basically describes every time TSM leaves the NA LCS for an international event.
C9 claimed they weren't abandoning it forever, but yeah, who knows. It has to have more money in it than VainGlory and I think several of them are in that scene.

dignitas is a strong showcase of this all their troubles throughout the years can be directly linked to having issues with or switching shotcallers. I don't think Wubby shotcalls for Fnatic but he did take over most of the drafting for them and adrd carries his teams. Cattlepillar is tempo's IIRC.
hasn't there also been going on some fallout with Overwatch sponsors? Just saw on my feed that
there's about 20 million reasons for Overwatch fallout.
They seemingly nuked that games esport potential before it even got a chance.

That's supposed to be the buy in price for their league right? Thought that was only rumored, as that sounds quite stupid.

but traditional sports teams have been buying up esports orgs left and right.
The biggest turnoff for orgs on the OWL IIRC was investment return date, something like no revenue until 2021
Sounds like a great way to start

That is fairly standard for starting a new business though. You don't expect returns for at least 2 years. It's not like blizzard will be collecting either, money made in the league will be used financed back into the league.
It would be fine, but that coupled with the uncertainty of the league's success is turning off mid to large orgs.
Although it seems like Blizzard sees it as a long term investment, so maybe it will work out in the end. Shame the esports side of it isn't bigger.

Varian is so safe to play, you can even lose and come back pretty easy

Usually I think heroes are fun because they're overtuned and I'm just dominating with them, but D.Va is different. I don't think she's even a little bit OP, but I legitimately think she's the most fun to play hero they've released yet, and that is saying something because they've released so many fun heroes.
I actually enjoy losing games with her. The gameplay loop is so entertaining that I don't even care if we win or lose... its crazy.
I think it's because she does so many things and you're never dead. Feels a lot like rexxar or old Vikings in that there's always something to do and feels like there's tons of room to get better.

Probably a calculation bug. Did you report it?
Edit: Wait, did you do stuff that makes teammates do extra damage? Maybe it counted all of the bonus damage to you. Though that still doesn't explain the 140%...

Of course a new business has uncertainty, they always do.
There should be a demotion match if you fall low enough.

Ya, if you lose enough that bar will slowly empty and you'll get put in a demotion match. If you lose you fall into silver 1. Obviously if you win you stay in your current league.

With Sand Blasts relatively low cool down, it's easy to make your own luck.
Hey everyone, quick question as I'm new to ranked (mostly been playing quick match until now).
I picked D.Va (I was the 2nd in my team to pick, first one was Li Ming, map was the Egyptian temples one can't remember the name), and instantly the whole team started saying stuff like "dva lol we lost" "fucking dva, I'm throwing this one". Did I break some kind of untold rule or did something wrong? Is D.Va considered bad?
