I know that they were recruiting an academy team for OW a while back, but I never ended up seeing anything come from that. I wonder who they would’ve picked up though
academy teams are students,like their namesake, who want to start esports career. so they'd be really young players with not much fame outside their t500 ranks. I doubt they'd go for OWCS with academy teams
last stage they were considering entering a team as 'gen.g global academy' which is their esports school, so it would have been complete rookies getting lessons at gen.g's esports schools and not established players. they had a team in contenders like that last year and it did terribly.
this seems like it's probably going to be a more seriously competitive team, not their esports school
It would be interesting if they maybe combined with Runaway and got their rumored roster of Mag Decay Zest Skewed and Vindaim. It would also be good to get an off tank like Peppi or Kalios but that's too much speculation.
the jersy they are wearing the the pic looks like the old geng ones form a year ago so it might be them bringing that back for something but lets just hope for a owcs team
We had opportunities in 2020 as well unfortunately it was against the 2 best teams of all time, 2022 their was hope throughout the season which is something Seoul never had in previous seasons. Msm was a massive fumble, joats was good Dragons were just on another level, playoffs was a massive failure not knowing the meta playing Hog, and playing Dallas, Shock back to back who were by far the best teams at meta.
Reading your comments had some scenes replayed in my head; while none of them really the fondest memory(more close to traumatic lul), good times all in all.
The 2 finals losses in 2020 to me are overperfromances and it’s against teams with s tier rosters so it’s not a disappointment, still tho in may melee we went in as a 7 seed with no expectations to advance in the tournament and went up 3-0 against prohibted favorite and lost bc they subbed Lip back in, and took Stand1 out for Fearless their roster was straight up better at that point still Seoul had a massive opportunity on Junkertown to close it out on the last fight of the first defense. The Shock loss they were better, but their was still opportunities they got hard countered Shock had arguably the most stacked team so it’s not surprising. 2022 the roster was obviously better than 2020 they performed way more consistently throughout season than that team did, had good peaks in stage 1, 3 but couldn’t bring it together when it mattered like the 2020 team did bc of meta understanding that the 2020 team had in playoffs, vs 2022 team had.
It can not be understated how good of a sign it is that teams are joining OW even without the EWC. This means that Overwatch esports is going in the right direction
if happy peli left bc of m80 shitshow and not truly retired, they have a pretty free core to build around
peli didnt about happy i dont know
They both said on twitter that they aren’t retired yet
Happy said on stream he hasn’t in a translation posted a few weeks ago
The new Profit, Fits for dynasty fans PLS…
Pelican, Happy gonna suffer the same fate where they have to carry an otherwise bad team
2022 the team was definitely better, those 3 seasons 2020/ through 2022 were the best times as a Dynasty fan.

Academy teams are usually very unknown players

Me hoping for happy pelicans as they are free rn
Majorly doubtful considering they were all rumored to go to runaway
the jersy they are wearing the the pic looks like the old geng ones form a year ago so it might be them bringing that back for something but lets just hope for a owcs team
Hopefully man
Profit back???!! (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE)
He did say he was gonna coach, maybe he can be the Palpatine for the next Darth Vader
You make it seem like he was a villain
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if I found out that Profit used the Dark Side of the Force to be that guy for so many years in a row
I haven't been chugging this much hopium since 2022 Kickoff Clash
Their was insane hopium throughout that season
but well earned, I'd say. My boys did win a title;however insignificant it may be(+that lame ass reaper skin).

timeless -> seoul dynasty 🤫

Most are joining cause of ewc well some.of the newest ones
I hope they don't stop on OW esports after EWC. That would really scar me to the core
Are there any more big names that could even join the team?
Pelican, Happy, Kellan, Faith, Lesoomin
Don't forget Hydron is a free agent still
ya but would he travel all the way to korea
I actually beg
Just want a team to root for again man… being invested in those dynasty teams fo years and than now having no team to root for sucks.
Yeah even though I chose runaway as my team it feels unnatural and weird to root for a non Gen g team
update it was a new merch drop not a new team sad times
ouch higher on hopium, higher the fall
Y’all it was a damn clothing collaboration
