Seven idiots and a bear walk into a dragon's lair.

Shanghai weren't playing their normal comps for the first two maps. They had Fleta/Dding in for Lijiang and Geguri in over Void to run ball. Geguri actually looked fine but Dding wasn't getting as much done as the world class Phamercy duo of Jinmu and Yveltal. Then on Junkertown, they put Void back in and Diem in over Dding and Diem got poo poo all over by Baconjack. They went back to their normal roster after that.

Well... getting reverse swept sucks. From the highest highs to the lowest lows for the Spark.

I feel like that loss was incredibly self-inflicted, though. There was so much stupid ~~~I'LL SWITCH AFTER USING ULT~~~ bullshit with our comps, along with the Bebe/IDK support duo not being able to play Bap/Lucio because Bebe doesn't play either of those heroes effectively. I would've liked to have seen M1ka/IDK on Oasis.

My son decided to start watching this year as I let him start playing the game. He’s a Titans fan as I love the Canucks.

Kid is so happy today and might never be again this year

Packing10 promoted to Head Coach and GM of Valiant, as well as the GM of Immortals' Valorant team. He's only going to be in charge of anything that's player-related (ie scouting), they have a different guy in charge of the day-to-day operations.

New changes for Contenders season 2. tl;dr every region but Pacific is returning, they're all having different formats, and most importantly all of KR Contenders will be broadcast (presumably that also means it will all be LAN)

Also in case SA (understandably) implodes overnight, it was a pleasure to paste tweets at your direction for the past year and half :tipshat:

This is the last weekend before the Summer Showdown playoffs, and this time they're doing the NA toilet bowl play-in match immediately after the last Sunday match, according to the official schedule. So probably Toronto VS Washington, at this rate :v:

Also on more :yikes: news, a bunch of Overwatch-related people have gotten exposed as part of the ongoing esports #MeToo movement, some mentions off the top of my head are Ryan Morrison (big wig of Evolved.gg, the agency that represents almost the entire league), Anthony the graphic designer guy from Mayhem, as well as some contenders players and DSPStanky

And on sadder news, the KR Contenders team with the charming MS Paint logo and sharpie-scribbled jerseys sold their Contenders Trialas spot to GC Busan Wave. :rip:



I'll keep the thread open and update it for as long as possible, but I'm assuming most people will jump ship soon

He's had weeks to practice so if he wasn't good at Echo at this point, he'd look like a pretty bad pro DPS player.

It's got to be embarrassing for Boston to be losing to a team that got ripped straight out of T2. I really feel bad for the Boston players because I know that people like Fusions and Colorhex aren't bad players so this is entirely a management problem.
