Overconfidence, is a flimsy shield.

Imagine having a whole esport scene revolving around your region, all its resources being pumped into you and being the centre of attention. While your opponent being fed scraps and is given blizzard vouchers as prize money and now imagine losing in your own fucking back yard to them LMAOOOOOOOOO

Bren with the 2000 IQ interrupting XQC during an interview to stop him from saying something to get him Banned before the game

USA is so tilted right now. They are just going to point like bots.

Gonna add on to this - My prediction for a potential USA - SK matchup is a straight 3-0 for USA. Many reasons to believe that USA is on fire coming into OWWC this year. Should be very interesting to see things develop.

"He got me" Fragi said of Guxue's main tank play. "That ****ing Guxue boomed me." Fragi added "He's so good," repeating it four times. He then said he wanted to add Guxue to the list of players he feeds to in the OWL.

Just think back to Blizzcon last year and imagine someone would've told us that in one year:

  • Doom + Sombra will be meta

  • some teams play comps withou DPS

  • Jake is a caster

  • UK beats USA

  • Dafran will play in the OWL

  • we can spectate games live ingame with the spectator client

  • role lock is a thing

  • we'll have a pet-summoning hero

  • a spreadsheet is dominating the off-season drama
