So Kure ended up with team Freedom which still makes it a mystery where Goku will land if it's true that he was poached.
Who's even still left?
Tempo and Team 8 are not expected to have changes going into MSB.
GFE, BStep, Naventic, Freedom all announced their changes.
Superstars is obviously out of the running which only leaves No Tomorrow who cut Erho from the team.
Doesn't appear like a particular upgrade.
Better to prepare to win matches than not losing them essentially.
It's funny how allegiances switch in this thread. Last year I was misguidedly defending C9 in this thread (they sucked) because I hated NVT and now I hate everyone but fan and dunk involved with that team. They did cut Glau in the meantime which could have to do with that. I hope Naventic trashes GFE in phase 2.

The question is probably if the scenario is worth practicing for. You're so disadvantaged that it might be better to use the scrolling block for literally anything else.

This chart visualizes things clearly.
Regarding the second point, top KR and EU teams are notorious for late game comebacks. It's their ability to clutch out a win from a key play that they manage to stay on top of things. While practicing to win more feels good, I think mid-tier teams would benefit more to practice from playing from behind and developing key plays to fall back on if the shit hits the fan.

They also fixed the objective in Tomb not firing its purple wave. No wonder it felt even more underwhelming than before.

If we go by reddit, which to my dismay hasn't been wrong so far, Kure got an offer from Team 8 and Goku is now slated to replace someone on that team instead.
With Equinox replacing Goku on superstars. Idk all of it sounds weird, Goku hardly seems like someone you'd mess up a working team structure to pick up.
It's not like there's some secret sauce to late game comebacks. You play for 16-20/20+ with as few concessions as you can give the other team. I'm not saying alex is right but I don't think there's too much wrong with the attitude.

Goku and Prismaticism have both been cut from their teams for performance issues before.
Prismaticism showed huge improvement throughout phase 1, transforming from a Ragnaros one trick pony into a legit player on multiple heroes.

bkb supposedly gonna be on.
Nah. I predict:
"We all expected" , "good for them", "Well that's a scary line up"
And
"Well, we can't really talk about blah blahblah"
IIRC Bakery is out until midseason brawl.
Edit: Can't wait to see how it pans out for Team Freedom. I have to cheer them on because they have french canadians on that team but honestly I liked watching them grow over the course of season 1.

Yeah, I went with the phase shift cool down as my level 1 talent for a while, but I decided to try the bribe out and see if my teleport CD felt too long, but it's been fine. I also went with the increased healing radius for a while and it felt great to have more room to maneuver while still healing, but ultimately it felt a crutch talent, and just being more intentional / strategic in my placement while having some other bonus for my level 1 talent seems smarter.
This one hits a little bit too close to home. I'm sorry Alur for I have wasted many of your peels before D:.
If you absolutely need interrupt on obj i can see q being a pick but her other choices are really good.

dehaka win rate was way down... but i still think he was fine. I'll take it!
His shielding duration got nerfed (to allow actual counterplay) and this feels like them adjusting to that shorter duration. If an AAer gets shielded, stunning them until the shields disappear is a good plan.
Tassadar needs a rework IMO.
My ideas:
*Combine E skill and Trait so that he can enable vision while being invisible.
*New E skill: Force Field that creates and ring to trap enemies in. The Force Field amplifies Psy Storm damage so you can trap enemies in it and then Psy Storm.
*New Heroic to replace Force Wall: Hallucination. Creates an illusion of target ally that can do damage and has % life of ally. Has two charges so you can create two illusions. Starcraft 1 had a skill like this for High Templars.
And they can buff Psy Storm AOE because that shit is wack.

Or Kobold Geomancer, finally the candle hero we've all been waiting for!
Falstad already a hard counter, damn that was fast, nerf bliz plz
It's very, very good, especially w/ the upgrade at 20. Against a ranged-heavy comp though, it's not going to do much and it's probably worth getting Valkyrie instead.
It's like Chain Bomb. Ideally, you want to unleash it in a messy brawl.
And yeah, if you have Cassia, extra blinds (JOJO/LILI/ARTANIS DREAM TEAM) are fantastic.
