last blizzcon was Ragnaros and Varian the year before it was ChoGall as instant release plus Greymane and Lunara to be released.
In the case of Genji, the newest hero is always (or almost always) free exactly 5 weeks after they release. Should help you in predicting the same for D.Va.

Team 8 found a random sponsor.
Maybe you folk are on to something with your "weekend is pointless" theory, last couple of days im back to my winning ways, or at least quite a few more wins than losses (on a 6 win streak with bwing today for example, compared to the 8 or 9 losing streak I had on sunday).

that's a curious line thrown into the article more akin to expecting roster changes than knowing who it will be already.
I think having a sponsor that cares ends up better than just better infrastructure from the get-go. Passion builds faster. It came out of left field but if it works for everyone involved then more power to them.
Yeah but that was also the reasoning behind why nvt is nvt and not tsm. By infrastructure i mean stuff like coach, life coach, and mediators, iunno if t8 needs that stuff to be #1 na but they def need it if they wanna be a global contender
Oh ofc there's a big difference between r20 and nvt in that i dont think r20 was started by teenagers w/ their parents money

Im talking in terms of binding the team together and making them into a unit. Nvt also had bootcamps and in general i feel like you can pretty much put a lot of the lesser sponsors into the category of "money fountains". Nvt and bstep both got paid for bootcamps, but who was there to oversee it? Bstep's bootcamp had almost half the scrims cancelled. Nvt had their bootcamp coaching/babysitting outsourced to wiz, who isn't qualified at all to keep a team together and focused.
T8's biggest incoming test is gonna be how they handle losses, they are pretty unproven in this regard and na is reinvigorating with roster changes

Hopefully low. The ones they have added are fine, but I can't see many of the rest working out well.

Mcree offers a pretty generic gameplay style, but Zenyatta would be cool.
What blows my mind is when people (like on that poll) say they want Roadhog. Can you imagine Pharah? :-(

Zenyata would be interesting as an anti tank support
How will parah works on a non air enviroment? like being invulnerable ?

i rather junk rat.
give him a reason to lob grenades. only insta explodes if it hits the target. other wise it just be a timed thing, i would love to have his tire rolling around though. chasing people down lol.

Junkrat would be cool too but he's prob really hard to figure out. His tire is really easy to kill in ow and would be even easier to target in hots and they have to figure out whether they want his projectiles to have health, they are already kind of pushing it with zag's invul q
IIRC he's at some level of prototyping in-house, they want to do him.

I think sombra as a specialist would be cool. disable fountains or buildings

Nope, but this was expected, he was just not good.

Finally, good riddance.
I'm a bit worried since bige posted about learning support in HL

Oh god he's their coach. I don't think he has a bad mind for the game but i absolutely dont think this guy should have the final say in draft or act in any capacity as an authoritative figure. He did coach a league team to worlds tho
Def reeks of a compromise but it could also just be them taking care of their ppl
But i do enjoy the whole interaction of
Internet: you guys need coaches in order to function and not waste time on bullshit
Nvt: k kenma is coach
Internet gets tilted off the earth

Rehgar flowing better after some practice. I just wish the wolf hit an extra time instead of buffing your next attack.
Bastion would be unique in the game...but probably not good.
Rein and Winston could work, though neither would thrill me. Symmetra would be a good addition. I think the rest wouldn't be interesting enough.
Invulnerable to everything!
Yup, that's why it's funny.
Sombra WOULD be cool.
How would Junkrat's grenade launcher work?

Thats been my question... who do you get for the support role, is anyone open? Could you even poach? Forcing someone to learn the role means we get a GFE 2.0

buds and jun came almost out of nowhere, the player pool is not as small as NA teams like to pretend.
The wholeTeam 8R20E is a case study on people growing into their roles. Heroes of the Dorm is also a good place to look at. Yuuj for instance is a free agent right now and support main. He was on UTA as flex nearly winning the open division and coached GFE before Dorm which they won this year.
Also watch Yuuj stream, he's pretty good and his streams are super chill. His Rehgar is a beast.

ohhhhh i have heard his name before, i mean as long as they cultivate someone in the role rather than force someone im stoked.
You get a bonus box every day of the event. If you play three games during the event you get stickers and stuff.
