Am I the only who completely forgot the Spark was a team?

3

And forget about their awesome artwork?

And awesome jerseys?

4

tbf that’s kinda all they have, the team itself is so boringly average, which is strange since Guxue and GodsB have been notable elsewhere.

5

Oh the salt… poor Mickey…

6

He lost I guess?..

7

No double tokens today?

8

Eww 1v1s in OW, especially DF.

9

Nope, not today. There should be enough matches still to get the Zen-nanki skin however.

Kinda reminds me. Do we buy that in the league menu? I couldnt buy Lucio and Mercy either cause they weren’t there

11

If HZ are Woody, and Valla are Bo Peep, who are Buzz and Jessie?

12

Gladiators and a academy team if they have one?

13

This is your weekly reminder that LAV is undisputed #1 if we judge purely on entrance themes

14

Yeah I have no Idea how to call this one, Valiant are both the best and one of the worst teams in the league. I’m going with Spark just because they are more consistent. Still you have to give it to Valiant, they are the only team to bring down the Titans.

goats puke

i cheer for valiant in this one.

Definitely think Valla have this. Their only loss this stage was in the first match they had Shax and FCTFCTN, so synergy was lower. They have wins over both Shanghai and Vancouver last week, and seem to be one of the best Sombra GOATS/DPS teams

17

Is it possible to get e-mail alerts? Like how YouTOO tells you that someone has a new video out. It would be really helpful to know when things are happening. (Yes, even with the posted schedule, it would help to be reminded.)

On another note: WM. I have zero tokens, just started watching. Is it even possible for me to get enough tokens for the new Zenyatta skin?

18

I don’t know email, but the app has notification options for your selected teams.
