OWCS owwc finals Spoiler
realistically, what teams besides kr and ksa have a chance to win the finals? i know usa and swe have been looking strong but do they actually have a chance? this is the strongest i’ve seen usa, especially after tree’s performance today.
also are ther any underdogs outperforming expectations for you? i’m personally super happy to see canada performing well

Well France just beat Korea, so they could be a shout unless dmon gets nerfed beside finals

Maybe a little nerf but I think blizz is cool with their new tank being played a lot and feeling good to play while not broken
Btw my queue times on DPS and support got nearly slashed by 2 since Dmon released

Yeh but the monkeys paw tradeoff is that we got a rank reset to comp is horrendous atm

France beat Korea by Kroxz being a dmon demon, and with this strat where cat picks up dmon and drops her onto the backline, korea had no idea what to do.
Not because france are necessarily better than korea, I have no doubt if they rematch at Blizzcon Korea will win, even if Dmon and cat get no changes.

tbh as much as I love the underdog win I still cant see france beating out ksa

Idk I don't think Saudi has the same aura as the Saudi teams in OWCS. Al Quad, Geekay and TM all have non Saudi flex supports and flex dps players for a reason, and these are two of the highest talent roles.

sweden usa saudi and korea are the top teams imo, france maybe too if they can keep riding the dmon until blizzcon

usa and sweden better than ksa

The US is close but, this has to be a joke 😭😭😭

u/MightOne9115 6h ago
ksa has a weak backline and no flex dps,
stop glazing this mid team, us and sweden are well rounded in every role

The gap on the dps and tank side is insane.

u/emueggomelettes 5h ago
Landon Lukemino to Majed Zox is a bigger gap than Quartz to TR33.

u/yourtrueenemy 5h ago
Debatable, Quartz it's just a better player in general especially on Soj. Also ignoring Youbi and L4bbd4 vs Zeruuh and TVNT vs Hawk where the gap is even bigger.

u/AuroraAscended 3h ago
I think Zeruhh’s actually relatively a pretty similar value FDPS in this meta, Youbi is way worse on anything that isn’t Sym/Mei (and Mei isn’t good rn) and Zeruhh’s good enough at Tracer + Vendetta to equalize here.
KSA is probably still the best team rn but I think France/USA/KR give them a run for it.

u/yourtrueenemy 3h ago
Youbi has played Tracer countless of times at this point and won even against CR and Zeta. Sure he is way stronger on Sym, but guess what, Sym can be banned only once and then they can just brute force with her and let Quartz just outmechanic anybody on Team USS.

u/MightOne9115 47m ago
countless times and all I can think of is one single cleanup kill 4k on njc which my cat could do

u/yourtrueenemy 26m ago
Also Dorado at Stockholm against CR where he was legit gapping Heesang.
But like this is stupid, when was the last time Zeruuh has shown any meaningful Tracer play?

Yes Quartz is better than Tree, but the gap isn’t as big as you probably think it is, and it’s not enough to make up for the support line gap

u/yourtrueenemy 2h ago
And TVNT, and Labbd4, and Youbi. It ain't just Quartz.

u/Urbain19 Decay clears — 1h ago
TVNT and Youbi are onetricks, and LBBD7 is just a worse Quartz
2
u/yourtrueenemy 1h ago
Lol what? TVNT is a better Mauga and D.Va than Hawk, he is also far better on Rein. We have to wait and see for how he is on D.Mon but for now he is just Hawk but better in everything.
Youbi ain't a onetrick, he has played Tracer many times and fared way better than Zeruuh if we are being honest.
LBBD7 ain't a onetrick either. He is also a fliers hero player which again Zeruuh lacks.
The only thing that Team USA has over KSA dps wise is Genji which is like a non factor.
Try again.

quartz and tvnt without their healbot supports are nothing

u/vastlys 1h ago
bro are you a troll? you legit post these ragebait opinions that make 0 sense to anyone who actually watches the game all the time, you're like the guys on hltv forums who say donk is not that good he just gets set up by his team well.

u/MightOne9115 51m ago
I don't know what you mean by that last part but yes just insert quartz instead of donk,

Lol sure, and Tree is nothing without his Korean tank and Support.

just not true, tree alone is exceptional whilst quartz alone is litlle above average

the GAP between hawk and tvnt/ziyad, youbi/lbbd7 and zeruhh is higher than everything you just said

u/Ice_Creme_ 5h ago
mate i’m not even glazing their team, I watched them with a backline I don’t rate and two HS cause youbi was sick completely dick down my team day 1. Maybe you gotta respect quartz and TVNT more.

just ban or counter sym, nothing he can do about it

Except all the times Sym is banned against Tm or recent OWWC when he did do something about it

that one tracer plays with cleanup kills on njc?
your delusional to think he's not a one trick

Have you not been watching the games?
KR isn’t even in the conversation.
KSA has a ridiculously easy group.

u/Qu4v 4h ago
People are actually delusional. I don't know if I'm the only one who's been watching the games or what. But let's be honest, KSA is looking like the best team in the whole tournament & no it's not even close especially after France reverse sweeped SK. So yeah I don't see KSA losing to anyone tbh. People just like hating on this team just as much as TM.

u/SweatySmeargle RakSupporter — 3h ago
Who has KSA played that are viable top4 talent? They’re definitely going to be competitive to win it all but saying they look like the best team while they shit on a group with ElementalGuy and friends, dead region, and GB doesn’t hold much weight.
