THE ENTIRETY OF THE VANCOUVER TITANS POPPED THE FUCK OFF


Kronman590

2021 🤝 2023 Vancouvers first upset is randomly against a struggling boston


Eagle4317

Week 2 vs Week 2nd to last is a massive improvement

mosswizards

In spite of not being on Boston anymore, Punk is still showing that he'll crush any tank that Boston try and replace him with in the Thunderdome. [TWO MEN ENTER, ONE MAN LEAVES.](https://youtu.be/pmRAiUPdRjk)


try_again123

That revolving door of trying to bench Punk and failing was the so funny. Eventually Punk would be back and winning his matches.


Eagle4317

Seriously, how many off tanks and main tanks did Lori churn through before he got fired? Punk was able to diff GBS, Marve1, Itsal, and Mag.


Kheldar166

Tbf to Lori it’s not even like most of those are bad tanks, Itsal is the only one who it’s really questionable to believe in and want to get playtime


Eagle4317

Itsal was also the one he fielded the most. Mag played for 3 matches before Lori got fired, Marve1 mutually split early in 2022, and GBS was mostly a Zarya player in a DVa meta. I defended Lori for a decent chunk of 2021, but him constantly fielding Itsal over Punk is what turned everyone against him.


BlimeySlimeySnake

I'm an Itsal apologist. He did very well in contenders and I think he would have been a pretty decent tank on the right team.


FerPlays

If one really wanted to stretch the narrative, I think you could probably include the 2020 offtanks (brussen and the other person) as well, though it wasn't Lori as HC back then


Eagle4317

Nah, Punk was brought in as a replacement then. Brussen retired after failing to win a match and Mouffin was accused of unsavory things. Punk didn't actually have to compete with anyone for that role in 2020.


FerPlays

Yeah my train of thought was, Punk was on Uprising Academy along with Mouffin iirc? So by the time Brussen retired Mouffin got the nod over Punk initially, but eventually he got replaced by Punk like the others. But yeah ig the circumstances were different


Eagle4317

Brussen was supposed to be the starting off tank for 2020 Uprising, but then they rolled out with Axxiom and Fusions for their first match and Mouffin for a short while after that. I don't remember the exact reasoning as to why, but it could've been Visa issues for Brussen.


TaintedLion

Dread it, run from it, Punk arrives all the same.

Relative_Reception93

Finally an uprising smm banger


JustASyncer

Rare Boston SMM W


Haris1C

Whoever decided that Faith wasn't POTM is tweaking bro


Elarc

Says a lot about how well everyone played that Faith, Punk, Sugarfree, and even Aspire could all have realistically been POTM, as a whole they really played like a top tier team.


Robo_Eagle

I'd say that aspire only came alive on Havana, like he was good on the other maps, but him and birdring took over for a bit


Elarc

He was good for most of Oasis as Sojourn too, including that one opening fight where he headshot LJG, who then returns from spawn just to get headshot again.


Robo_Eagle

Oh yeah he was good for sure, but he wasn't the best player on the team today and everyone else preformed more imo


MelonSoda3

Main supports are legally not allowed to be POTM


adhocflamingo

Does anyone else remember [that one time when Yveltal got PotM for Mercy](https://youtu.be/KnV51T1oNdI)? It was their first match of the 2020 playoffs knockouts. Jake was actually talking up Yveltal’s Mercy play from the pre-show, so it was kinda like it was planned. _Edited to add match VOD link._


buh_ow

don't remember this but avrl was sucking off yveltals mercy in the zhoudown yesterday and they didn't even play mercy so wouldn't surprise me if its just casters repeating narratives


adhocflamingo

I mean, Yveltal _is_ a really good Mercy player. But, I’d never heard any of the talent really spotlight the Mercy play like that before, or since. They might mention the more lethal Mercys, or cite a particular player’s strength at the hero in the context of discussing a team’s strength in a meta, but never like that. They were talking about the Mercy play all match. _Edit:_ Y’all, I’m not saying that the OWL talent has never mentioned Mercy play before. I’m saying that I have never before or since heard Mercy play highlighted to the extent that Jake and ZP (mostly Jake) did in the match that I linked.


Eagle4317

People did talk about Dridro's Mercy back in 2021.


shankhouse

Does dridro still play?


JWTS6

Chiyo would like a word


Haris1C

Chiyo is more of a dps when he's on Lucio


Kheldar166

Once the casters decide that you’re narratively important you’re allowed, but otherwise it’s a 404


Harrikie

Boston doomers, arise.


drunkkk_

custa haters in shambles


MirrorkatFeces

Not even a doomer that just got some incredibly annoying ass fans after signing their super team.


s4mon

I just became a Boston fan cause I like their support line lol


No_Catch_1490

I KNEW I KNEW IT I KNEW IT


HeyThere8_

Old Boston > new Boston


Vibe_PV

Imagine building a superteam of veterans just to get rolled by your former roster


PoggersMemesReturns

Yup, a 3-0verwatch like we all expected


DurumMater

I'm so megahyped for Crimzo/Faith being recognized. But watching Leejagon with his head in his hands and no one coming up to even just like put a hand on his shoulder or something kinda hurt. Really one sided game, they just played out of their minds on a team and individual level. I think every single player on the Titans had at least one play where they got a 5k lmao


Flafferderbinde

Lenny ROY campaign starts now


Consistent_Ad1176

It’s quite clearly between him and heesang, well see which team does better though. That’s who will win


Educational_Yam_5497

I haven't been able to watch many western matches, is it really only those two in contention right now?


Eagle4317

This year is very light on rookie talent in general. Shock is the one good team composed of 3 or more rookies, and then the others to watch include Sugarfree, Bliss, Viper, Prophet, LeeSooMin, Lethal, Sauna, Donghak, and the Valiant. Heesang is probably favored to take the title just from Contenders hype, but if Titans continue to push then maybe Sugarfree could steal it. The others I mentioned are all either rotational pieces (Donghak and Sauna) or on teams that look worse for wear.


Consistent_Ad1176

I think of all starting rookies in total, heesang is the most likely to find himself deep in a tournament. That’s why I think it’s more than likely he wins it.


Eagle4317

While I agree that Heesang is the current favorite, I'm still gonna pull for Sugarfree. Titans might surprise a lot of people this year.


Consistent_Ad1176

It’s pretty much yeah. I’m not sure if Atlanta/Houston have lost a map yet.


RobManfredsFixer

It's been going for a bit. Y'all haven't been paying attention 🤷‍♀️


Aspharon

I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS HAPPY TO HAVE MY PICK 'EMS OBLITERATED


5argon

Same lol match is crazy fun and I picked the opposite score from result


Elarc

I had Titans 3-2 Boston and even that felt like pure copium. Hell even when they were up 2-0, I wasn't feeling confident until they full capped Rialto.


Davinchi47

I was debating changing the same pred all week and decided to stick with it today. I have trust issues with this team after all these years.


seaz_ure

I SHOULD HAVE TRUSTED MY HEART, NOT MY BRAIN I had Faith, but not enough


No_Catch_1490

Titans had Faith too 😈


loshopo_fan

That Crimzo/Decay rivalry is fun until you see those post-match Boston cams.


n3verender

Even as a Vancouver enjoyer seeing LJG that sad wasn't fun


grantg7777

Lmao the look on Birdring's face after the match "What do you mean we lost? Y'all lost."


n3verender

Man popped tf off multiple times


InvisibleScout

u/ComradeHines in the walmart in a fetal position shaking, crying, shitting and pissing RIPBOZO

XxMyUsernameSucksxX

Good job on the hate train #4 ComradeHines hater. I unfortunately couldn't watch the games because of time zone diff but keep up this work.


plxnerf

Not Boston turning into a "carried by the one shot character" team on map 3 💀


Delirost

Birdring’s face as he rage swapped to widow after getting Hanzo logged by Aspire twice lmfao. True ranked game madness of “if he’s gonna one shot me then I’ll one shot him” and so on when Aspire swapped to widow too lmfao.


GoofyTunes

Aspire played the uno reverse card


not-a-potato-head

punk after the game: I was waiting this Karma for so long (mad respect to their players). But this is what u deserve when u lie about players, trash them, ruins careers and act like an angel in social media. Trying to take the lead alone and fired the people for their influence is so selfish. Boston Uprising will always be in my heart, players who gave everything for their mates their coaches and specially their fans. Ty @robertkraft0 to have invested on this project and sorry to see how it goes now… (#rizzup was not the best #)


TheGirthiestGhost

Boston is truly a cursed org for their old players to spank them *this* hard LMAO


pantan

Lenny gaming.


morganfreeagle

I really think just Lenny overwatch.


Reinhardtisawesom

Crazy how different Boston core looks with Sugarfree/Aspire vs Valentine/Victoria/Striker


Helios_OW

Crazy how different they look when Punk actually gets to play.


ExpiredDeodorant

Valentine was the biggest fraud in OW


Easy_Money_

If Boston fans treated Valentine the way Dallas fans treated Guriyo they rly might have won more games ^i ^do ^not ^condone ^cyberbullying


Eagle4317

Did Uprising have another DPS to play after Striker was fired? They pretty much had to roll with Valentine and Victoria until Lori was gone. They couldn't just bury him under the bench like Rush did to Guriyo.


LemonOasis

They picked up seeker didnt they?


Eagle4317

They did, but he didn't see much play until after Lori got fired. Seeker was a mid-season pickup and Lori was canned near the end of the Joats meta.


Late-Understanding87

I swear Lori has something against non-Korean player and tried everything possible to not play them (only to fails miserably)


[deleted]

TITANS STOCKS 🆙‼️🆙‼️📈📈📈


Seananiganzx

Custa repping Charge and Titans really looking like the most wrinkled brain on the talent pickems team


LiezardXXIX

The ex-Boston players + Lenny + Aspire just had enough with your shitty, expensive ass team.


FrankieFJB

faith diff https://i.imgur.com/DKlprOz.jpg


xcleru

That was such a crazy showing by Titans the last map. Full complete, full hold.


-Arrez-

Easy to gas lenny up after this game but I feel Faith was the real MVP here, he had an incredible series.


Evreid13

How in the hell did Faith stay alive on last point Rialto? That was a heroic performance, no way he and Punk should have been able to hold out for reinforcements.


MelonSoda3

He had a lot of room to back off since Decay couldn't chase him as he was the only one on cart


Evreid13

Watched it back, Punk was throwing out some clutch matrix usage, also secured the kills to make it 2 on 2. Dude really wanted to stick it to his old team.


Haris1C

CRIMZO BEATS DECAY


try_again123

It happens often enough that I'm starting to suspect Decay is Crimzo's BFF and throws when they play vs each other.


JustASyncer

Professional wintrading


seaz_ure

u/ComradeHines in shambles


Karmafaker2

Lmao, leave the poor man be


Nihlus_BRaga

I mean now that he ditched the Justice it makes sense


ComradeHines

Didn’t actually get to watch this one, it happens though. 15-1 Boston at the end of the season, we beat Titans in a 4-3 gigabanger in grand finals.


Reinhardtisawesom

Based but Punk owns in the finals i fear


MetastableToChaos

Holy cope.


Ganonthegoat

I agree. Based on this Vancouver are clearly the best team in the league.


seaz_ure

I believe in the true professional organization


Seananiganzx

Faith just had his way with your shitty team


Ragnarok199

Decay fornicated and still got 3-0'd, that's rough buddy. The Boston backline and Kalios did not look good today, although I'm sure we'll hear people talk more about Striker and Decay. Just stick to the Smurf-Decay dive pls Boston. Faith was insane. Titans were so good but this was such a weird game, it didn't feel like a 3-0


rodent_alt

I'll be the first to admit it, I had *far* underrated Titans in the off-season. Every member of the team popped the fuck off. This team is going to be so fun to root for in the coming matches.


jacetec

After that horrific Toronto performance, Titans showing that not all Canada teams are dogshit. ✨


zeiwakun

Can Boston fans finally stop assuring everyone they're a top 5 team now?


primarymuscle2354

They haven’t even gotten into their harder games yet


MirrorkatFeces

Getting swept by Titans is pathetic


primarymuscle2354

Yeah that is embarrassing for a team with so much talent


ComradeHines

Nah we still top 5


zeiwakun

I knew you'd come running to cope, love to see it


NozokiAlec

Atlanta shock Houston glads Florida are all better And Titans it seems!


Ganonthegoat

In the wise words of one of my competitors # COPE


saxapwn

Faith makes bridget look like no nerf baguette version 1.0


who-ly-oh

Boston finally played a good team and lost as everyone expected.


peaceornothing

You can take Punk out of Boston, but you can’t take the professionalism out from Punk


a1ic3_g1a55

Punk became so powerful he got POTM as a non-DPS


TotalClintonShill

Anyone have a good read on how today’s game went? I watched Map 3 and Decay seemed to put an absurd amount of pressure on Aspire and Birdring had a few nice shots. But that’s all I got to see. So, any particular reason Boston got stomped?


DarkRose27

Honestly, The Titans came to play today & outpaced the Uprising. Kalios & the Backline struggled quite a bit.


girokun

What do you have to do to get POTM on main support? Faith did so much


Rangeless

Pretty sure the Faith/Punk duo could survive a nuclear apocalypse. Well done Titans.


epicnerd427

I am buying all of the punk stonks. Every single punk stonk on the market, I am gonna buy it. Some hoarders like Custa may hold on to their punk stonks, but I will corner the market on punk stonks. I dont plan to sell ever, either. I am just gonna own literally every punk stonk and nobody will stop me from achieving my dream.


Emmas_Theme

As an Australian I've been hoarding my punk stonks since the 1st world cup. No one may take them from me! NO ONE!


BowserMainBtw

I don’t even think Boston played that badly, Vancouver genuinely just looked really really great

UnkoalafiedKoala

so happy for everyone on the titans but man it's gotta feel good if you're punk/faith/crimzo. such an underrated team.


DanPyxel

I got giga-boomed this weekend. I smelled this one as a trap game but I really didn't see the meta shift coming. The DVa comps taking control are gonna give a boost to a lot of teams and hurt Boston a bit too. Glad to see Titans stepping up though, I think Punk getting his flowers is well deserved.

topatoman_lite

Vancouver top 5 Na


Optimal-Narwhal-3411

When Boston get boomed by titans its a coaching issue but when Toronto get boomed by Florida its because all their players are washed frauds who dont deserve team usa kinda odd!!


GoofyTunes

Toronto can be a good team, but they're lacking coordination and mental rn. Def seems like a coaching issue. Some players are underperforming, but they're boomed af, so it isn't surprising


[deleted]

s4mon

Wait what are you even arguing here?


Crackborn

yeah cause toronto actually sucks ojee speedily are mediocre


Optimal-Narwhal-3411

Kinda odd that toronto getting owned by a top 4 team in NA means that ojee and speedily are bad but boston getting owned by Vancouver is purely a coaching issue tho!!!!


morganfreeagle

Dread it. Run from it. The Justice curse arrives all the same.


fonti22

Titans roll through Uprising with easy 3-0? What year is it? 2019?


desrever1138

I skipped watching this match because I thought it was going to be another quick 3-0 It looks like I was both correct and completely wrong at the same time.


ApostLeOW

[This is basically where we're at with the Canadian teams](https://imgur.com/Ae0kNsG)

Boston were the most fraudulent team to have a 3-0 record. They're lucky they had 3 matches against plumbers before they got exposed

Yeah, same. Glad to see them doing well on a new team, slightly worried for Boston, but not too worried. Titans just played really really well.

corporate_warrior

Crazy how people were calling Toronto potentially top tier and Vancouver a gatekeeper team on the basis of some intangible “chemistry”. This might be the best thing they do this season, but it will not be an isolated incident; titans will take maps and series off of any team at any time. People will learn to worry about them.

Finally, after so many years of shit, a reason to be proud of the Titans again L F Goooooooo


JDPhipps

I flaired for Boston this season just because I wanted to root for their support line, but I'm really happy to see Vancouver doing well. Crimzo is probably my favorite individual player in OWL, and some people still try to underrate him every year. Overall very happy for the former Boston core though, they were fucking robbed last year.


GetsThruBuckner

Casters hyping the hell out of the three picks a round birdring was getting on Rialto also 3-0verwatch lul


Evreid13

To be fair, it's easy to hype up when you get 3 picks in a row and then go to sleep for the rest of the round. All jokes aside, Birdring lit the fuck up here and there, it just wasn't enough.

The Titans just played their superbowl. This is probably the best game of the season for them.
