@@hyp3raimz I see his point though, there's players like Kai who say they're retiring every season and then join a team, Hadi said he wasn't joining TM then joined TM. I'd imagine players dont want to spoil where they want to go lol
@@ApostleOW I’d go as far as saying he’s top 2 alongside quartz. I think he’s better than Kai. Kai is a solid HS who does what he’s supposed to do whereas sparkr has a standout performance almost every game, especially on cass, pulling off unorthodox flanks and getting 3-4Ks almost every fight, and when they’ve played against each other sparkr has had kai on a leash most of the time. Maybe I’m a bit biased but I really feel like spark has the edge over him.
@syphexloli complety agree with your take. Sparkr > Kai. Reason why Sparkie is still LFT has probably to do with the fact that Kevster only wants to play with Kai. So there basically a 2 for 1 package deal. And TM already has Quartz. Still hope Gen G signs him would be a waste to see him on a B-tier team.
Team liquid is super stacked this year omg and SSG gives me ENCE feelings u know? (Always 2° place). With the individual players that NA have I though one of these teams could be full Americans, NTMR was solid asf and did not need imports. But let's wait and see@@ApostleOW
@@huttonhack7024 yeah I thought the same, but I really think that TL didn't need to import him. Zeruhh has so much potential to get better, and he's already a menace. But let's see how it goes
so first off, pelican is not coming to na as i've heard the latest, making team liquid not so strong but still quite good if they get a good na flex dps, but the team is still not close to kr teams. also personally i think falcons will be the top team if the leaks are the end result, mer1t and someone might not seem at the same level as the other top korean players but mostly that is because they've been playing in the weaker region of NA and haven't gotten to play against top teams except for the lans
Honestly we have no clue right now, people are saying they're probably gonna end up playing in other regions, but that's pure speculation from what I know
good work as always, was hoping you'd be wearing the hat the entire way through LMAO saw someone in the r/cow subreddit share a google calendar link to keep up with matches too if anyone is interested
I did consider it but the background removal kept cutting off my head when it stayed in frame for longer than 30 seconds LOL, also yes! I should've mentioned in the video but will post here @redknight100 : www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/1hxtp0m/add_owcs_to_your_google_calendar/

Looking at Proper and Shu on the same roster actually feel like it’s unfair at this point. Although adding merit and someone kinda balances out while it is a downgrade it’s minimal so we good
Someone is better than Smurf on main tanks now, definitely was the past year, you can't want an main tank to overtake Hanbin but he is still pretty good on all the offtanks. Mer1t is certainly a player you want with Ham, these two have such synergy it's crazy.. while he isn't a flexible guy, he is like the 2nd best hs in the world after Lip, give him some coke and adderall (and money) and he'll play out of his mind. (I do think that they should've gotten another fdps tho)
@ Smurf is better on Orisa/ Winton/ Mauga , I’ll give someone Rein/Ball but that’s it. Hanbin clears on off-Tanks. I think both Proper and Stalker are better on HS than Merit. Don’t overhype players who dominated in a weaker region and if it wasn’t for Lenny then I don’t think they win that match vs Nightmare. If you really think about it what HS hero from Merit would you take over Proper or Stalker (probably only Bastion 😂)
Buddy, you are off the crack rock if you think that Falcons roster will be worse than Zeta. The player quality is too much lower on Zeta. Viol2t is coming off of his worst season of competitive Overwatch, Finn has never been much better than average, and Flora is Mr. Inconsistent
Here me out: Falcons traded games with Zeta more than once in 2024, and had several close matches. You break down their synergy, get rid of their coach, and the advantages they had over Zeta start to get slim ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ maybe I am just getting too hot with the takes LOL
@@ApostleOW Finn/Viol2t and Flora/Alphayi have both played together for a while and I wouldn’t say either showed particularly good synergy last year, so I have no real reason to believe it’ll get much better this year considering their age. The DPS also have pretty serious flexibility issues, which will hurt a lot more. Zeta will remain the third place team by a lot, the only difference will be that CR will dominate even harder
i appreciate your work so much! thanks for the update :)
I'm glad you find it helpful!
Note: shu recently said he’s not going to Falcons so idk about Korean teams
where did you get tht info?
@discord someone leaked it
All he said was "nah" when asked if he's going to falcons that's definitely not like super credible😭
@ better question is why not? He’s the guy who is playing not you.

My Goat, great vid as always. Edison my goat is coming back (Big fuel fan here)
As a Fuel fan since 2018, Edison has had .5 good seasons in the entire history of competitive overwatch

Some trivia I just noticed:
Twisted Minds logo that looks like a brain actually says: “Twisted” in Arabic Calligraphy.
تويستد
I wanted Crazy Raccoons and Virtus Pro to be partners and the fact it might be real makes me so happy
Happy new year dude ty for ur work
13:18 Proud is actually known for being super flexible for a hs player, he has a great tracer, sombra, mei, pharah and a decent venture, genji, echo..
Hell yeah the goats back!!! (Bumed out that some of the teams left but hopefully that this year will also be a great one.)
I love your lil analyst desk.
Really worried that SparkR is still LFT. He’s my all time favourite player and a huge inspiration for me.
It's pretty wild, he's basically a top 3 hitscan in EU alongside Quartz and Kai, surely someone bags him
Playing a lot of rivals. rank 1 global
@@gilbertboot572 yeah but posted LFT for ow not long ago at all

New to the channel kinda mad that I didnt discover all year Great vid
Glad to have you here now!
My man with the update. I had no idea about this.
Raajaro was such a good new gen man.... (Yes I watch the vid and comment every single time lmao)
no scissors on the top 3? its over dawg
Scissors and Zeruhh both unsigned from what we know, its hard life for flex DPS apparently

well with pelican back in na there is one less slot for a flex dps and also lenny being just better than them

Great video !!
Ive heard that Shu isnt actually going to join Falcons and hasnt heard anything about it so he might be staying at crazy raccoons
This is super exciting although I would also i would love to see the team skins!
as a fan free agent after my defiant got shut down im taking my talents to team liquid
perfect video for breakfest
Dudes chest is as huge as the table, he is sitting japanese style behind that
THEY PUT MY GOAT WITH MR. 86 PAGES ITS OVER 😭
(Ik they're still friends and that the seeker stuff was a long time ago, still a funny look tho)

I was really hoping to see a tr33 and sugarfree dps lineup

Soo where are players like junbin and stalker going??

No mention of Soon coming back? sadge
I kid you not, Peps announced that 6 minutes after this video went up, literally a perfect miss 😭
@ApostleOW awww
good work as always, was hoping you'd be wearing the hat the entire way through LMAO
saw someone in the r/cow subreddit share a google calendar link to keep up with matches too if anyone is interested
would you be able to post it here? I'm not seeing it
@redknight100 don't think i can, but just search "google calendar" in the subreddit and it should easily be found
its a post by patatafishSG btw
