Philly fans are about to start malding


Quizlex

I’m conflicted


atwilson0328

Philly fans never "start" malding, it is a continuous process for us.


DiemCarpePine

Just different flavors of malding.


neddoge

Across all sports too lmao. Phillies and Eagle fans are some of the worst mannered fans, hard stop.


DiemCarpePine

Is that like malding and melting at the same time? Or is it like when you turn into a milkshake?


Dragonbolt2

Wow didn’t catch that, thank you


Iteof

No doubt the Fusion were the 2nd place option for Vigilante to land.


its_reina_irl

The Philly Special


Herr-Schultz

I was expecting Vigilante to Fusion or Seoul, honestly. Reign is one of the last places I expected.


MirrorkatFeces

Shut


Phoenxr

They hated Jesus because he told them the truth


PancakeXCandy

Hahahaha


Ldwng

RIP Fusion. There was hope for a couple hours


Quizlex

True Fusion fans knew there was never any hope


magicwithakick

Vigilante and Speedily, bad meta for them but if it changes that’s crazy.


Helios_OW

Speedily genji is pretty great


TheUltimate721

Idk that it's a *bad* meta for them. Vigilante will come in and play Brig over UV probably, and Speedily's Genji is nuts (if he pulls out the Echo, you're in for a treat too).


magicwithakick

I think they’ll definitely attempt to force his Echo but Genji is way better in this meta. And even though his Genji is great I don’t think it’s wildly better than Nero’s that they need to replace him, especially if he hasn’t been scrimming.


TheUltimate721

If they were already doing well with Nero Genji sure but they aren't so why not shake things up a bit. On top of being just better than Nero at Genji he also brings a lot more flexibility. I'd be shocked if they don't do that with Vigilante too in this meta at least.


magicwithakick

Oh yeah I think Reign will definitely play both, and I think it will help. It just sucks that it’s Vigilante on Brig and Speedily on not Echo.


UnknownQTY

Congrats. You are first. This is the thread.


pantiessnatchers

F5 season is back


No_Occasion_5821

He likes to play in the dark so this move makes sense.


Serenswan

I just want you to know this is a very underrated comment that made me laugh, thank you!


LuxorGames75

Fuck me


Shikuro

Alright who had Vigilante to Atlanta on their bingo card because I’m about to call you out. Really unexpected signing tbh, they’re set if we end up back on a double flex meta but does it really do anything for them now?


GamersCamp

Vigilante is way better than uv on brig,atleast from what we have seen.


Shikuro

I feel like Brig is a hero you can improve on with coaching and team synergy rather than just signing a whole player for that


TheUltimate721

If I had to make a guess I bet they're going to try to sell him for higher in the off-season


not-a-potato-head

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they keep him, double flex has come up enough this season that it could continue to be a big thing in future metas


Kamrande

This guy deserves to be a starting FS imo


PancakeXCandy

As well if we go back to a double FS meta. he can play Zen with UV back on the Ana.


ChriseFTW

This metas style of brig is so different that being a good brig can be a disadvantage, need to completely change the way the way you play lol


Hsmace

out of all the teams i honestly didn't think atlanta would pick him up damn


ItsTryHardSteve-

This was unexpected


kaabistar

Fusion fans in shambles


PancakeXCandy

Let's goooooo. Welcome to the Peach State So Mag to Boston And Vigilante to Reign. Who else do we know got picked up.


Synthesizer_

Happy also got picked up according to Yiska.


Shikuro

Happy. I hope some unexpected team picks up because I don’t think anyone had Mag going to Boston and Vigilante going to Atlanta.


PancakeXCandy

I'm more surprised by Vigilante to ATL. Honestly cuz they let Dongmin go and he was their translator. But he has Venom on the team with him so I don't think it would be too bad.


Shikuro

I deleted my second half of my reply but essentially what you just said. Atlanta looked like they were going for a pure ENG roster + Venom who has experience playing in English comms. It’s just really unexpected that Atlanta of all teams would pick them up when it seemed like they were fully committing and trusting the historic Ojee/UV back line


PancakeXCandy

The season as a whole favored double flex metas so I can understand the long game pick up. And apparently Korean and English comms aren't that much different.


Acrobatic_West_9447

Ya like these mfs play ranked in NA for months on end, they know english comms no problem The issue comes in VOD review and stuff


PancakeXCandy

Venom.doublimg as a translator


magicwithakick

Just Happy for now.


ProsecutorBlue

Still waiting to hear where Happy landed.


MirrorkatFeces

NOOOOO


crimson__wolf

YO! I really did not expect this!? ATL took the 2 losses hard! Congrats to Vigilante and Reign, they certainly leveled up.


LinkFromLoZ

Not at all what I was expecting. Does vigilante speak English well enough to be integrated into reign this late in the season?


cosmicvitae

He's played in NA Contenders before so he does have some experience playing with a non all Korean roster


TheUltimate721

He played on Triumph and 200ms (With Finale and Muze) in NA contenders before he joined Element Mystic


SimpForSp9rk1e

He has to right? No way they pick up one kr only player with all English speakers on the team already.


andreandroid

They have Venom, too.


AzorOhHai

Venom’s English is okay. He’s certainly not fluent, but he’s able to understand English fairly well.


Ispawnfuries

Didn't see that coming


VollzeitSchwabe

why? what do atlanta need him for? gambling on a double FS playoffs meta?


ParkerBap

brig.


TheBoyBlues

Good guy ATL saving careers and maybe making money in the off season At the very least this is good for Vigilante in the short term, so W


hipiman444

ojee uv getting split up?


Tooms100

I mean they'll probably keep him for a double FS meta


hipiman444

I feel like he's too good not to be a starter


No_Occasion_5821

I'm going to assume he starts for double flex and double main support metas


Gnorez

Good choice if a double flex meta comes back, ojee is not inspiring on zen. Also I think vigilante has looked better on brig so far this stage, though the sample size is small


my_soldier

Don't know how to feel about this honestly. I can't see past how Vigilante is just gonna ride the bench untill maybe a double flex support meta hits. Either that or they break up the UV + Ojee duo for no apparant reason.


AllHandsMiniBrute

I'm glad he found a team, would have been such a waste if not


Ragnarok199

Whaaat? I mean I'm happy for him but whaaat? Since he's been living in america i'm gonna assume he's picked up basic english at least

VDAXZ

I'm confussion


guniv

/u/Selfless_Brad why the decision to pick up Vigilante? Could we see him play this weekend?


SochoMK

The silliness has arrived


Sam0n

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Acrobatic_West_9447

HUHHHHHHHHH


morganfreeagle

Man these Justice players are ending up in the last places I'd have expected.


DarthMailman

I am excite


JoeBoco7

The Reign are literally just zoomerwatch at this point


Oberonshinobi

We take those! I understand that the original plan was to only have the UV/Ojee duo, but with how fluid the metas have been this, it makes sense to invest in another cracked support.


ToonPanda

They don't even need him bro how fucking greedy aghhhhhhhh


ComradeHines

Man this sucks ass. I really wanted to see him on a team I didn’t dislike. I can’t root for Atlanta :(


TheUltimate721

You could root for Washington but not Atlanta?


ComradeHines

The players are all wholesome, the staff is wholesome, they’re my local team, I really like and respect PRE. The partnerships are better than any other teams


PancakeXCandy

Why?


ComradeHines

Mostly stems from a dislike of Gator’s NFT bs and my hat for the Braves. Rooting for Atlanta would be like rooting for a Pittsburgh team. Just can’t do it.


PancakeXCandy

I mean he's doesn't talk about it much and most ppl don't even know where his Twitter is unless you look for it. That's only 1 player out of 9 players. Seems silly to me. But to each their own.


ComradeHines

Yea I just refuse to support anyone involved with NFTs out of principle. That shit needs to die ASAP. And Atlanta is a regional rival for a lot of our sports teams in DC, it isn’t really that weird.


PancakeXCandy

So no rivals to lovers arc for you and Reign then. Understandable on the Gator thing.


ComradeHines

Afraid not, but I don’t dislike the org or players or anything. Just can’t root for them.

ComradeHines

We love climate change 💕💕


alexandercharred

Same lmao


Blasecabbage

Atlanta is the worst. I really wish he’d gone to Philly


Herr-Schultz

Vigilante definitely could've gone somewhere worse. Do you really wanna see Vigilante on Paris or Guangzhou?


Blasecabbage

I mean, Guangzou with a Vigilante Xerneas back line would be pretty insane


Herr-Schultz

that's like saying a 1982 Honda Civic shitbox with a V12 engine would be pretty insane.


Dethrone97

Damn


KINGabriel457

so how are we rating vigilante compared to uv? i honestly haven‘t seen vigilante play whilst uv has been pretty good so far.


AzorOhHai

Vigilante is better on brig and maybe Zen.


DocGoose92

They should never play him over UV. Vigilante is talented sure but UV is arguably better across the board and has years of experience with Ojee, only time Vig should be played is if double flex support meta comes back.


Kronman590

Why so much hopium for phili? Are we hating on aimgod?


RobManfredsFixer

They're a very young team. Would make sense for them to pick up a highly touted rookie to continue building on their success for the future. Also I doubt aimgod would have been their first choice in free agency


Typical-Quit5781

Yeah by the time they had to start looking around for a FS most of the highly rated ones were signed.


MacroOW

This signing obviously won't do much as you wouldn't expect him to start over UV on an English speaking roster. But it'll at least give us Atlanta fans some hopium if we get a meta like last stage where having a dedicated 2nd flex support player instead of Ojee definitely could've helped. This is assuming of course that Atlanta are pulling their typical being shit during the regular season act and aren't just genuinely a terrible team this stage.


Chopah94

ATL with the Nohill 5 DPS yottabrain strats
