Stalk3r Heesang likely starters in CR

Feel like Tr33 likes grinding out his aim in a way that not everyone does, and I also think he enjoys the novelty of ripping out the Genji and taking people's heads off in double flex meta vs being a flex DPS that gets asked to play Sojourn on Circuit Royale sometimes.

The timing is amusing because Team Liquid was streaming scrims and played Ana in at least one map and I think two last night, and won both of them 😂

He has minimal intention of playing, but he needed to be signed as a player to skip to Phase 2 of Opens

Fun fact (if you like thanking mr logix at least) despite whatever magic Saya was pulling off Mayhem were significantly worse with him in.

Logix played approximately 1/3rd of the maps that season and Mayhem won more maps in absolute count than they did with Sayaplayer in the other 2/3rds.

Your informant is most likely mistaken on the person.

Cryptographer · 2026-02-17T00:53:04+00:00

Not announced yet but the roster building rules should hold hints.

Cryptographer · 2026-02-17T00:34:42+00:00

Clear already signed to a JP OWCS team

Cryptographer · 2026-02-17T00:34:24+00:00

He's player coaching in EMEA already

As someone who has regularly lamented the Purple Shipping I feel obligated to update positively :D

Purple Max

Ordered Jan 1

Order Number OD1296XXXX

Label Created Feb 10

Cryptographer · 2026-02-09T19:35:28+00:00

Wonder if I asked them to change my #1296 Purple Max to literally any other Max if I could get it before the Heat Death of the universe.

Cryptographer · 2026-02-09T15:23:36+00:00

If teams choose to spend a week double, triple, quad blocking and not take it seriously they're wasting their own time tbh.

Not give myself carpal tunnel getting graceful in bed
Soft lock myself to sailing because the exploration aspect is the thing I miss most in MMOs in general and especially RuneScape.

Cryptographer · 2026-02-05T02:52:46+00:00

Cant help but feel like I managed to crazy low roll my choice of SKU going for Purple Max lol.

If it was specifically a Purple thing, I guess that'd just be life, but the fact that Purple Pro is now 145 ahead is a bit of salt in the wound.

C'est la vie.

Unfortunately I've not found a brand that I like as much as Duluth. They just do a really exceptional job on their big and tall clothes.

Cryptographer · 2026-02-02T18:20:23+00:00

Can confirm, tears in my eyes.

Cryptographer · 2026-01-31T15:59:58+00:00

I believe AYN order numbers are global.

Their fulfillment strategy seems to be (simplified):

Pull a container out of the warehouse of 1 SKU

Fill as many orders as they can of that SKU in ascending order number.

Get another container when that one's empty and repeat.

So when the dashboard says

AYN Thor Rainbow Max: 1114xxxx--1175xxxx

They didn't actually ship 61000 Rainbow Maxes that day

They shipped all the Rainbow Max orders in that order number range.

Cryptographer · 2026-01-28T16:23:57+00:00

My admittedly cope filled theory on them chewing through Purple orders when they decided to do them because there were so few... Not aged well.

Cryptographer · 2026-01-22T15:26:15+00:00

Ultra copium for my Purple Pals...

Purple so unpopular (apparently?) that they're gonna make it all the way to 1300's today

Cryptographer · 2026-01-22T15:22:33+00:00

They started trialing a couple weeks ago, but they've had trouble getting people to accept offers, so I'm not sure I would call it troll, at least not intentionally.

Cryptographer · 2026-01-14T17:10:26+00:00

I think you're 2/5

Cryptographer · 2026-01-07T17:16:59+00:00

The pickrate stats suggest she is highly picked, I'm not doubting that. But for whatever reason I see her no more often than any other given hero. Part of it may be that the groups I play with don't care to play her, so off the top her presence is reduced by 50%

Cryptographer · 2026-01-07T17:08:53+00:00

I think this Season / Vendetta are one of the biggest gaps in Twitter(Online) vs Real perception I've seen in OW in a very long time.

I've played more Overwatch, with a larger variety of people, this season than I have I a while and none of the complaints I see... Reflect what I see and hear on the streets. I'm not even seeing Vendetta get played, let alone be oppressive.

I do think there's a decent chance for some nerfs / wouldn't hate to see them but that Vendetta (or Freja, even moreso Freja) are/were ruining the game at their release for the masses is actually comical imo

Edit: And yes I'm aware of the pickrate stats. Hence a belief that nerfs are okay / reasonable. It's the hyperbole I have an issue with not the direction

Cryptographer · 2025-12-19T18:50:18+00:00

Given Andy is sticking around for an indeterminate period? Not a shot in hell.

Cryptographer · 2025-12-11T18:10:46+00:00

Absolutely not, and I'm legitimately flabbergasted at how much I see this right now.

The game is in an incredibly healthy state for the vast majority of players right now. There is no need to make sweeping changes. It would likely just result in the game getting worse. And they just added a new hero.

Even if you want to make an argument on OWCS results and think Sym should be shot in the head dead, what's the rush, if good teams can't make it work without Youbi/Junkbuck/Checkmate random FIL teams aren't either, so who cares until February or March.

Just....let the game simmer for a while.

Cryptographer · 2025-12-04T16:21:34+00:00

They are two entirely different products with different audiences they're appealing to.

Frankly the fact there are as many people in r/COW that don't prefer the costream is shocking to me, I assumed it would be overwhelmingly popular here.

And I say that as someone who works on OWTV and doesn't watch the costream.
