My God it's like they're trying to make you dislike the league. Why can't they just leave a running system alone for once instead of ruining it with gimmics no one asked for?
I disagree a lil bit. Tank like Tom said is fine w mag, guxue, and hanbin. Dps imo was also top 10 alongside choi but unlike choi I don't think he deserves role star. Support is just completely fucked. Literally the only good one from apac is skewed and he honestly would be mid in west
I mean Hawk won't because he hasn't played too much the more the season went along. I think Someone and Fearless nearly have the NA region locked. Smurf has an outside chance I think, but most are going to say Someone and Fearless
It feels like the Role stars are all but cooked at this point. The only thing we don’t know is which of Chiyo/Shu & which of Hanbin/Guxue aren’t gonna get chosen. I’m 100% convinced everything else is ultra easy to guess
All they had to do was word it so each region needs AT LEAST one player for each role, still west dominated and for good reason, but it shines some light on the east
honestly if zest doesnt make role star, the system is rigged. granted, last year he was robbed of rookie of the year and mvp and you can argue with a fucking wall
Okay i’ve heard everyone talk about this and I mostly feel the same ticked off way - but has any official OWL channel or account even announced this Role star change?? I swear I would’ve seen it linked somewhere, why do this under the rug like people wouldn’t publicly talk about it ? I want the reasoning from their mouth
On the OWL website they talked about it in the award breakdown, but didn't cite a reason for the change: overwatchleague.com/en-us/news/your-guide-to-the-2023-overwatch-league-awards
Lol, they really don't want all Reign and Outlaws players, a long with Boston players aren't nominated. Good job. It's literally to prevent it from being dominated by those teams. The only role possible that APAC legitimately had a shot at this before this happened imo is Tank with Hanbin, Mag, Guxue etc. As beyond Someone, Fearless and Smurf there aren't too many West ranks I'd nominate. But now it's going to look.... So wrong.
Forgot to mention Florida but I agree mostly. 1 standout east play was choi. He carried charge to #1 and outplayed everyone else consistently but sadly he's out the league and can't be nominated
@@ELI-521 i honestly don't think i would nominate 4 possible people on Florida. I could see 3 maybe, honestly Someone, Rupal and maybe Merit or Chorong but to lesser extents. To me Merit had a far better season last year than this one, so I was kind of surprised he was nominated over one of his teammates, mainly the back line. But yeah.
@@TommathanOW chorong is better at the ms heroes, his lucio is imo the best in the league, and his brig is 2nd to chiyo, viol2t up there on both heroes tho, but as a fs viol2t is slightly better on kiriko, and fs better on zen and bap (no disrespect to chorong he is good at both heroes as well), but chorong has a better ana from what we saw in pro am

choisehwan role star is the only way to justify this but not even possible anymore

@@ELI-521Bliss but people getting robbed
With the league likely being dissolved after this season it begs the question, why are they trying so hard to leave the league on sour note?
lengsa is now more likely to get a rolestar than chiyo
MVP of apac, rightfully so
We need ranked choice voting in owl, and most democratic governments as well
This is OWL we're talking about, they're probably using chatGPT to come up with the rules.
as a boston fan i am so pissed i tought Smurf and Twilight made a great case for rolestar, but now the discussion is pointless.
If Hawk and Donghak get role star I think it might actually be a good thing if OWL goes down
Yeah in what world is that happening 😂 someone and fearless outplayed all year
I mean Hawk won't because he hasn't played too much the more the season went along. I think Someone and Fearless nearly have the NA region locked. Smurf has an outside chance I think, but most are going to say Someone and Fearless
If that somehow happens, it's wraps, but it really should be just Someone + Fearless
It feels like the Role stars are all but cooked at this point. The only thing we don’t know is which of Chiyo/Shu & which of Hanbin/Guxue aren’t gonna get chosen. I’m 100% convinced everything else is ultra easy to guess
My pred is:
Someone Fearless Mag Guxue
Lip Stalk3r Zest Leave
Fielder Shu Skewed Bliss
All they had to do was word it so each region needs AT LEAST one player for each role, still west dominated and for good reason, but it shines some light on the east
Yea, the answer seems so simple that I can't comprehend why they'd do it this way
"what makes spruce a better building material than dark oak"😭
If you can nominate contenders, then f it, let's roll.
Like I get wanting east but couldn’t you just do 1 per role two is outrageous
honestly if zest doesnt make role star, the system is rigged. granted, last year he was robbed of rookie of the year and mvp and you can argue with a fucking wall
Zest for sure gonna be an eastern role star, zero doubt in my mind
2:18. SLow down cowboy. Chiyo is fantastic, but Leejaygon Dragons 2021 was just better.
Dont forget, season still didnt finish
Didn’t watch the video thumbnail said everything 😢

Off topic, but who do you think is better this season, viol2t or chorong
I wanna say Ch0r0ng but I fear it may be Viol2t...

All owl hate aside this was an incredibly well scripted video essay and I enjoyed it a lot
Idk the fact that the award for being one of the best players in your role is being forced 50/50 split is the league just admitting apac is a joke
Yeah they've pretty much gave up pretending apac is a real region 😭
proper robbed once again...
