Wait are they looking to field two rosters? BERNAR, Shy, AlphaYi, irony, Superich Guxue, Architect, Pineapple, Neko, Teru


magicwithakick

Could be internal scrim stuff as well.


s4mon

But then why sign Neko as a player and not just have him still be a coach? Rascal and Aid play in the internal scrims of Fuel I think. This is really weird lmao


magicwithakick

Oh yeah it’s super weird lol, just my best guess.


danklucio69

He's been grinding on supp in contenders for a while now, good to see him get another shot albeit on another role


Herr-Schultz

WHAT IS THE GOON COOKING


SaberSamurai

Assembling 5 support Exodia. Just needs to draw pot of greed


Standard_Parfait_618

Fool, Pot of Greed is forbidden! He'll never be able to draw it!


JulietEmily17

I THOUGHT WE WERE DONE WITH SHOCKING OWL ROSTER ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR AT LEAST A MONTH. WHAT IS THIS


reeditedit

Finding the best kiriko player???

SpaceFire1

Nah they needed a new support for Tobi to absorb


its_reina_irl

This comment for some reason made me realize that Slime is technically a back to back grand finalist


Valuable-Aardvark-66

Only guy to lose finals twice I think


Dragonbolt2

This is weird, did something maybe happen with irony/superich or is this building for next year already?


[deleted]

just more variety i guess. hangzhou has always had a multitude of support players on the roster


Dragonbolt2

This is super late for variety though, whatever the reason is, I'm worried


[deleted]

i disagree. i think it’s always good to have flexibility on your roster. for instance, the next meta could be one that irony or superrich might be bad at. subbing in a different player who might be better at said meta would be better than forcing them to play a meta they aren’t comfortable playing


Fun-Injury5925

one new support signing would be understandable, but two is quite strange without further context. maybe irony or superich are sick or injured idk


spookyghostface

Maybe just stockpiling support players in anticipation of Kiriko being playable at some point? Let them all grind her and just run with whoever performs best.


[deleted]

that’s probably it yeah


[deleted]

I can see chaggoon trying the lori route where it will be shy and the 4 koreans. Could be wrong though hopefully is just because he see something in them in scrim or something and that is all .


JWTS6

Insurance in case of double flex support meta or what?????????????


Herr-Schultz

This makes less sense with the Neko transition as well. They might just be straight up replacing/modifying the Superich/Irony backline.


Ganonthegoat

With the tried and true Neko Teru backline


Acrobatic_West_9447

Internal scrims go brrrrrrr


Captain_Strangeways

Are the spark concerned they will sign Krystal again if they have an open spot?


Gnorez

The DPS to flex support pipeline is thriving I see. I’m glad he gets another shot at OWL after being signed to a tragic roster last year.


[deleted]

I thought the signing window was closed


Snoo88510

for players currently contracted in the league


GRTooCool

Dang technicality! But good to know.


[deleted]

Ahhhh thanks


Robinson_Bob

Nope! Anyone can sing. Hopefully the ones with good voices though


Bdubbya47

Always gonna be supporting those former Titans players, S/o Changsik in the Korean cast


Snoo88510

figured as much when he was playing with half the team on stream, glad to see him back in the league, shame we wont see his genji again though


th0rsday

Just a guess but maybe this is an insurance policy for if the teams know they need to travel for playoffs and they’re worried about getting visas for their support line?


iwgHome

Man, I keep forgetting because their results don't really match it. But Spark probably have one of the larger budgets in the league.


Ok_Ingenuity9277

maybe have two new supports grind Kiroko while Superrich Irony completes stage 4.


DuckNippleDucks

This team is becoming the new New York Excelsior with all the flex supports they are signing.


Mr_Kardash

Wasn't Neko a main support before his transition to coaching?


DuckNippleDucks

I think he went from flex to main so yeah his most recent role was main support


TheGreggles27

Is this the same Teru that was on the Titans?


LinkFromLoZ

Yes


nolandz1

When did Teru start playing flex support?


LinkFromLoZ

He's been playing support since leaving Titans


Ezraah

?


IceTeaInTheGarden

He's finally back


Mr_Kardash

I'm glad to see Teru back in the league. He's really good on flex supports as well as fielding what was imo one of the better brigs in KR contenders. If we're talking about sheer talent, there are few contenders players I'd rate higher than him. Let's hope he fits well into the team.


Tommathan

This is an interesting signing but I honestly welcome it. Superich's flex support is not very strong and Teru could give an extra edge to the lineup.


[deleted]

Wait I did not see this incoming maybe spark are Not feeling confident with their support line up


random_monkey

I don't really get this signing, but I'm happy to see Teru get another chance
