Interested to see how Finland competes, hoping they can pull the upset which might happen as NYXL looks outdated now.
Also remember Finland should have been able to scrim for a month or two now since they had no play-off players(im pretty sure)

Also for new comers to this post

Fragi plays for the Philadelphia Fusion but he was rarely seen in the Playoffs

5

Finland had Shaz, Biggoose and Fragi in the playoffs, though Fragi didn’t play for Philly, and Glads went out in the QF.

:kr: Lol r.i.p Finland

Hopefully Fragi performs well, on Reinhardt maps I think he’ll beat Fate. Though good thing to note is that his style requires a lot of Support.

8

Biggoose was probably the weakest link for Finland earlier, whilst that was Fate for Korea.

Also who was Widow, Taimou or Linkzr?
How much was Davin playing?

10

All 3 played Widow for at least one map, Davin played the first 2 with Linkzr, then Taimou subbed in for Davin in the 2nd half

Iirc it was Davin Widow on Ilios and KR, Taimou Widow on Anubis, and Linkzr Widow on Rialto

11

I really want to see Davin perform so he can show he’s OWL worthy even more.

12

I just realized browsing through PlayOverwatch’s VODs that the YuleLog stream and the Year of the Dog puppy brawl is still viewable. I should watch those again.

Fragi bb :heart_eyes:, come to Florida

14

That Carpe v Taimou/Linkzr Widow battle will be huge, Carpe basically hard carried at times against Taipei.

15

Carpe is probably the best Widow in World Cup
Unless he’s off-game i’d have Finland’s Widow try to occupy him in the duel and focus other matchups.
Also… Fear the screams, its Korea

16

do they give out token?

17

Seems like they might be filling time to allow the game to be setup, been quite a while

Edit: The Oracle NEVER lies :stuck_out_tongue:
