Korea is STACKED and genuinely scary. 3 of them are current OWL Midseason Madness champions and Sp9rk1e/Fearless won Grand Finals last season. They're probably going to win the whole World Cup and could easily beat USA.
They r and will win easily. No other team even remotely stacks up to them. Also they could easily field like 3 more different rosters with Koreans and still win easily
@@NaruBrilu USA and Saudi Arabia are the only teams that even register on their radar, based on the interviews, lol. At least USA will (probably) manage to get the cart a little further than this.
@@NaruBrilu Found the interview and I remembered wrong. Most of them mentioned team USA, a couple mentioned China. No SA referenced. Fun fact: none of the Dallas Fuel guys mentioned China. Only Lip and Finn. Doesn't mean anything, just found it interesting. I guess the Dallas boys are just...Fearless. ;)
I wish they would have both had a full spawn trap going on and neither team got to move the payload at all that would have made Blizzard look so bad at map development
When I saw the vid was 15min i thought "Oh, they made an edit with the best plays and Flats is going to be reacting to that" i did not expect the whole thing to actually be
I think vs Philippines was even shorter. Full hold on CR map and then on attack they touched with contest and won instantly, lol. "C99" the casters said.
South Korea vs Indonesia was more disrepectful in my opinion.. On the second map SP9RK1E played tank, Fearless play DPS, Finn made his World Cup debut, as a DPS.... and LIP played Support. And South Korea still rolled Indonesia... Def worth watching just for the lolz
SK has a crazy lineup, LIP - best Sombra in the world, Spark1e - one of the top DPS rn, Fearless - best winton oat, Fielder and Chiyo - best support line in the owl currently
They had an even shorter one on the same map (Circuit Royale) against one of the other APAC teams, iirc. Can't remember which match for sure (vs Philippines?), but full hold on CR, then on attack I think Hanbin rolled out with the orisia spinny spear, and TOUCHING point was all they had to do to win, lol. Shortest match ever!
I think more than anything that spawn trap shows how terribly designed Circuit Royal is. The defenders have always had an advantage on that map from day 1
There are people who were like “Korea died on Circuit Royale that’s not what a top team looks like” like bro they were literally trolling 😂 Korea is built different
While I hate Blizzard, you can't actually fault them for this. Ever since Taiwan was expunged from the UN like 50 years ago and the West has been bootlicking China, it's against international law for official sporting events to reference Taiwan in any capacity (name, flag, anthem, etc). The term "Chinese Taipei" allows Taiwan to actually participate in events separate from West Taiwan.

@@nickcoulter1556 even if it changes. Which it wont considering ow isnt going to add a patch in the middle of owwc. If anything Sombra is still really good right now and u have the best sombra on ur team. Regardless of all this, Korea is still winning everything, easily. They hv 3 Atlanta Reign players, upgraded their tank (best winston in the game rn), the other dps got downgraded compared to Stalker in Sparkle, but he's still like a pretty good dps. They also hv Hanbin just in case they wanna play off tanks, and Finn if they want to play double flex. Korea literally could field like probably 3 different rosters and easily win world cup. Usa lost to the likes of nyxl, yes they switched up the roster, yes super is back in now... but it's still not gonna help much. The only other team who could maybe win would be China, but even then Spark (who is mostly team China) got beat quite easily by Atlanta (who is mostly Korea with a better tank and worse 2nd dps) Korea games are not gonna b fun to watch, and it'll be a boring finals
@@NaruBrilu World Cup doesn't finish until BlizCon, so plenty of time for patches before SK and USA go against each other. From interviews with the SK team, the only teams on their radar appear to be USA and Saudi Arabia. I don't think they are worried about China at all.
@@NaruBrilu Most of the world cups before had a patch note just before or during the tournament that switched up the meta. So they sure can drop a patch note in the middle of owwc.

No offense to team USA, but best case scenario they take 1 map off SK. I had a great time at 2019 finals, but this team aint that team and SK mailed it in that year. They want their respect back this time.

The last half of the last map fielder was on lifeweaver and sp9 and lip swapped dps roles. They were definitely memeing
Can we talk about how four out of the five south korean were on the Dallas Fuel
5 out of 7, they have Hanbin on the bench too and FiNN from Shock.
