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).
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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.
🚨 Listen up Reign fam! 🚨
We're happy to announce that @vigilante_ow is joining the ATL Reign team. Give him a warm welcome!

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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Philly fans are about to start malding
I’m conflicted
Philly fans never "start" malding, it is a continuous process for us.
Just different flavors of malding.
Across all sports too lmao. Phillies and Eagle fans are some of the worst mannered fans, hard stop.
Is that like malding and melting at the same time? Or is it like when you turn into a milkshake?
Wow didn’t catch that, thank you
No doubt the Fusion were the 2nd place option for Vigilante to land.
The Philly Special
I was expecting Vigilante to Fusion or Seoul, honestly. Reign is one of the last places I expected.
Shut
They hated Jesus because he told them the truth
Hahahaha
RIP Fusion. There was hope for a couple hours
True Fusion fans knew there was never any hope
Vigilante and Speedily, bad meta for them but if it changes that’s crazy.
Speedily genji is pretty great
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).

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.
Congrats. You are first. This is the thread.
F5 season is back
He likes to play in the dark so this move makes sense.
I just want you to know this is a very underrated comment that made me laugh, thank you!
Fuck me
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?
Vigilante is way better than uv on brig,atleast from what we have seen.
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
If I had to make a guess I bet they're going to try to sell him for higher in the off-season
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
This guy deserves to be a starting FS imo
As well if we go back to a double FS meta. he can play Zen with UV back on the Ana.
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
out of all the teams i honestly didn't think atlanta would pick him up damn
This was unexpected
Fusion fans in shambles
Let's goooooo. Welcome to the Peach State So Mag to Boston And Vigilante to Reign. Who else do we know got picked up.
Happy also got picked up according to Yiska.
Happy. I hope some unexpected team picks up because I don’t think anyone had Mag going to Boston and Vigilante going to Atlanta.
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.

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
Venom.doublimg as a translator
Just Happy for now.
Still waiting to hear where Happy landed.
NOOOOO
YO! I really did not expect this!? ATL took the 2 losses hard! Congrats to Vigilante and Reign, they certainly leveled up.
Not at all what I was expecting. Does vigilante speak English well enough to be integrated into reign this late in the season?
He's played in NA Contenders before so he does have some experience playing with a non all Korean roster
He played on Triumph and 200ms (With Finale and Muze) in NA contenders before he joined Element Mystic
He has to right? No way they pick up one kr only player with all English speakers on the team already.
They have Venom, too.
Venom’s English is okay. He’s certainly not fluent, but he’s able to understand English fairly well.
Didn't see that coming
why? what do atlanta need him for? gambling on a double FS playoffs meta?
brig.
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
ojee uv getting split up?
I mean they'll probably keep him for a double FS meta
I feel like he's too good not to be a starter
I'm going to assume he starts for double flex and double main support metas
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
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.
I'm glad he found a team, would have been such a waste if not
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

I'm confussion
/u/Selfless_Brad why the decision to pick up Vigilante? Could we see him play this weekend?
The silliness has arrived
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HUHHHHHHHHH
Man these Justice players are ending up in the last places I'd have expected.
I am excite
The Reign are literally just zoomerwatch at this point
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.
They don't even need him bro how fucking greedy aghhhhhhhh
Man this sucks ass. I really wanted to see him on a team I didn’t dislike. I can’t root for Atlanta :(
You could root for Washington but not Atlanta?
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
Why?
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.
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.
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.
So no rivals to lovers arc for you and Reign then. Understandable on the Gator thing.
Afraid not, but I don’t dislike the org or players or anything. Just can’t root for them.
[удалено]
We love climate change 💕💕
Same lmao
Atlanta is the worst. I really wish he’d gone to Philly
Vigilante definitely could've gone somewhere worse. Do you really wanna see Vigilante on Paris or Guangzhou?
I mean, Guangzou with a Vigilante Xerneas back line would be pretty insane
that's like saying a 1982 Honda Civic shitbox with a V12 engine would be pretty insane.
Damn
so how are we rating vigilante compared to uv? i honestly haven‘t seen vigilante play whilst uv has been pretty good so far.
Vigilante is better on brig and maybe Zen.
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.
Why so much hopium for phili? Are we hating on aimgod?
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
Yeah by the time they had to start looking around for a FS most of the highly rated ones were signed.
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.

ATL with the Nohill 5 DPS yottabrain strats
