@@Akshonesports I totally agree. I am part of your discord and love watching your overwatch videos. Both guides and coverage of owl. Personally I play a lot less ow than I used to. Watching you analyse owl games is what keeps me interested in the game. Keep making videos about owl since they are very educational. Keep it up man!
ADC Rengar personally, I like to hear about all the changes as they’re happening, but I also appreciate the recap right at the end to jog my memory of everything that happened. Especially all the weird moves that happened.
When it comes to power ranking these teams everyone has their own list. Who would be in your Top 5?

Don't worry their fans already left when Space and Agilites/ Kariv went to new teams. Valiant have some random leftovers from Mayhem and Contenders, NO MONEY TEAM
It’ll be a rough season for us all, let’s put it that way. I fell in love with the Valiant their first stage and they ranked but I still loved watching them. I’m from Louisiana, we’re loyal to some of the worst teams ever
Teams has various reasons for the moves they made, but usually fans don't get to ever hear the thought process behind them. However in the case of Chipsa, the Fusion head coach clarified the reasoning behind the pick up last week: www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/es9ly2/christfer_fusion_assistant_coach_clarifies/
ADC Rengar I think LAV likely take top (or bottom) spot for offending their fans. The players you loved are gone and replaced by unknowns; the team colours are gone and replaced with discount Boston and generic blue; the hope after last seasons troubles and gradual rise is gone and we are back to square 1 while everyone else improved. I love LAV and will 100% continue to support them, but they have not made it easy and I have little faith for 2020. That being said #wingsout
Fissure is NOT an upgrade. Regardless of his skill this guy has shown he is above all else- totally unreliable and inconsistent in REAL LIFE. Which does not inspire confidence in your tank main.
@@Henbot maybe from the orgs, but when you get down to it, you have teams of players playing super hard at a good game. For people who enjoy it, it is very fun to watch. The natural part of it is that you have top tier players who want to win. Stop hating

I have used UA-cam for a long time, but this is the first time leaving a comment on a video since the quality and role of this video MUST BE praised. Additionally, I hope you guys make another one about the top 3 expecting players for each position(or more segmented positions like Main/off Tank, Hitscan/Objectile DPS, Main/Sub Supports) before the season starts.
Great video as always. I'm really sad to see the old Lunatic Hai split up all the way. I hope this'll be a good season for Ryujehong. He is the reason I started maining support back when I used to play he game.
While Bumper didnt make an official statement, he said that he will have a rest for a while when he was having a duo with Mirage. He also said that he didn't play Overwatch for a month.
Great way to get up to date with the roster changes and, also, comment on what to expect from all the teams. Very good video. Thank you and keep the good content coming :)
Also, I'm really hyped to see games from the Shock, Defiant, Dragons, Hunters and Gladiators. Might not be the top 5 but, oh boy, they put on amazing shows.
As someone who is a fan of LA Val's old roster you just become a fan of whatever team your favorite players got. Looking forward to seeing LA Glad's Toronto Def, and Houston in S3.
Thanks! While we couldn't go super in-depth, the goal was to try to provide people with a quick overview in one video of the teams and the changes to them going into OWL 2020.
Being a Houston fan, this is such a huge upgrade for our team. It's sad to see Jake not on the team, but I guess it doesn't matter since he will be a caster.
Great video summing up the off-season moves :) the editing was great and your paused way of speaking gives you a bit of a journalistic vibe. However, I think you could explain yourself a bit better sometimes, like how hydration was already known for his dps and only recently starting showing off his tank play, when the way you put it made it sound otherwise, or how "gig and lastro all ..." sounds kind of awkward when talking about just 2 people. Really seems like you were gonna mention more people. Overall, still a great video! If you polish some stuff up, you'll surely become a mainstream overwatch news/analysis channel!!! :)
These guys deserve way more subs. They make great content and put in a lot more effort than the OWL themselves who have millions of dollars backing them.
The Toronto Defiant have really made some good changes and they will be one of my favourite teams this season, and I really want to see how KariV will perform on the Defiant. NYXL(the team I've been cheering for since OWL started) dropping MekO was a bit of a surprise, but I hope HOTBA can perform just as well.
Honestly the OWL is just pure hype rn, I don't even play anymore but can always appreciate the talent and dedication within this community, just wish esports had as much of love as general sports, CANT WAIT FOR THIS NEXT SEASON can go anyway
I’m crying about zunba tobi and Jehong, I’ve been watching and rooting for lunatic hai (then dynasty) since they played envyus a while back and it was my first introduction to overwatch and esports
Seems like I'm a Defiant fan this season.... Also, I kinda looking forward to the Chipsa games. I think he can do well. But still I'd rather seen Harb in the League than him.
Thanks for a video, that everyone's needed! Much appreciated. .. so many talents left unassigned.. still waiting for SDB to come back and pop the f*ck off!
Hey! Sorry for the confusion. Gator was on the Reign, but was more of a two-way player who didn't see as much playtime as some would hope during the 2019 season in OWL. What we meant was hoping that the team will make more use of him and move him more into the starting lineup.
The teams I’m interested in seeing performance wise are the Gladiators, Titans, Justice, Fuel, and the Fusion. Honestly, this could be a great season. Hopefully.... See y’all in February!
Gladiators are being really underrated just because their dps aren’t Korean, and I get thats a very hot take but Jaru and MirroR are both pretty nuts in their own rights
@@thatguyben7754 Which is why its good that Akshon said they were a strong team because other people who power rank them underrate those two new players
You talk about the new players but you didn't talk about much the exiting players points, had to realize you just had them as going to new teams or FA with the graphics. As well as some team logos I didnt recognise. But least I got some info about some of the rosters and changes.
So why did valiant change their colors again? We dont have a team with a primary green color now. And now we have 2 teams with the same color skeme Not only that, but they got rid of like their entire roster, including their starts. Wings down.... :(
For anyone thinking Fissure will drop out on the Titans again, apparently he personally asked for a contract that forbids him from leaving the team during the season, so there you go :/
@@arpee1337 True, but the fact that Fissure himself requested it and not the Titans organization may indicate a turn for the best. Still crossing my fingers, but I really hope this time that Fissure will be able to stick through.

woah i was watching the video you know
We believe that news like this is important to pin especially when it comes to matters of health and safety.
@@AkshonesportsProbably smart
I hope they can have the matches in Asia at least so local fans can still have a chance to see their team
Sad, but it’s the right thing to do.....
the production quality of this video and the great explanation and presentation is why Akshon is top tier in esports media, at least in OW

good thing Nepotism is a thing
We all know that, like XQC and Dafran, he’ll only last one season, and call for retirement
Finally someone makes a video of all the changes in the OWL. Thanks
I appreciate not having my sub feed with 20 different videos every time a team does a signing and someone redoes their power ranking list
Because of OWL isnt given two shits about by many people.

Yo these graphics are actually clean AF, nice summary video!
Boy is it not a good time to be a Valiant fan. First the dumb roster changes, then the dumb color changes.

Sad to see so much team without any of their first players in the roster
With so many good players coming fron contenders I guess it makes sense, but yeah.
Honestly I miss the seagull plays, and seagull guy haven't seen him since seagull left

"Fury, the best D.Va in the world"
Me as Space fan: '*screams*
there's a difference between "best dva" and "best offtank", space is like second best dva but best offtank imo (great hog, dva and sigma)
I'm LAG all the way but for sure Fury is a better DVA. That being said, Space is a general better off tank and team presence.
Choy is the best Off Tank
I really love this type of videos, thank you for the hard work! 💜

Isn’t Elk with Harrisburg Uni now??
Akshon esports best UA-cam account for ow content. Change my mind
I wonder why no team picked up Bumper.
Vancouver probably kept him in talks for too long and them no one needed a Tank anymore when it was too late. THE TITANS ARE THE WORST
ADC Rengar or he is to expensive for other teams
Thanks for a video, that everyone's needed! Much appreciated.
.. so many talents left unassigned.. still waiting for SDB to come back and pop the f*ck off!

Sad we couldn't keep Fleta, But Profit, Gesture, and Bdosin. Were looking mightily deadly
Seoul definitely made some power signings this off season. Hopefully they pay off with so much veteran talent (and former champions) now on board.

London has me scared, not buying tickets to see them until they can prove they won't collapse

some that left us scrating our heads hmmmm I wonder which team "bumped" of their players that were working fine
Wooooow it is going to be a lot of talent and opportunity for new outstanding players along with renown teams.
So what is up with Krystal? I heard spark wants to terminate his contract but Krystal doesn’t want to leave?
very nice roundup
For anyone thinking Fissure will drop out on the Titans again, apparently he personally asked for a contract that forbids him from leaving the team during the season, so there you go :/
