The San Francisco Shock: OWL's First Super Team (SiR)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- The San Francisco Shock were the best team in OWL season 2, and to be frank, it wasn't very close by the end. How did they do it, and why do they qualify for the title of a "super team"? Let's talk about it on the first episode of SiR, season 2!

"No one was expecting Boston to give him up, but the connection was obvious"
HuK: Happy money noises.
9:07 “and you would never see him below 70% charge” *uses clip from below 70% charge*
Pretty convincing
well, he said "almost never" :)
How bout u open ur ears .. “ almost never “
@@wavn1557 i mean it was a joke
Wavn Calm down
A year ago, I genuinely forgot the Shock even existed. Now, I will never forget their legacy.
At this point in time, I doubt anyone who follows OWL ever will.
And a year after that they cyberbullied everyone again using the power of cashew delasis backseat benchboi tactics
after 2020 and 2022, the shock will undoubtedly live on forever, especially considering the league may not survive this year.
THIS IS SO GOOD, also I love 18:58.
*clap* *clap* TEAM REVIEW
SI Not Found aye i love your channel

hi cary

Best part. Don’t @ me.
I LOVED THAT
SiR feelsgoodman clap
Bad Pachimari haha funyy twitch emote!!!
UPLOAD
The beginning of another SiR golden age.
On a side note, no one outside of the Overwatch community will understand your profile picture.
A similar argument could be made for mine too.
Yes cheggory, now please let me know pika or zeruhh
Redex pika cool, but zeruhh epic
A suggestion to improve the video format: When transitioning between stages, include the teams' overall records, map differentials, and accolades (i.e. Stage 1 Quarterfinalist). Similar to how you did it for the S1 SiR's. There's implications to this for later episodes for this season's SiR's because of Match Record ties and Map Differential ties.
As an example for this, when transitioning between stage 1 and stage 2 for the Shock, you would also show:
Match Record: 4-3; Map Differential: +5; Stage 1 Finalist
I took a break from Overwatch through season 2 and it’s so cool that the Shock won. I remember in season 1 Dividing saying that the Shock would be the first intentional Tank team ever in Overwatch. How right he was!
I think it was somewhat obvious considering they signed Sinatraa and Super while they were still underage. They also hinted at building a team that was built for the future, not for immediate success.
Of course hindsight is 20/20, but it was getting harder to ignore them during the last 2 stages of season 1. Now I see those stages as the preview of a team that will shift into fifth gear and blaze their way through everyone else.
I objected then to saying "Oh, SF is tanking" because they signed underage players. If SF was tanking, then so were a bunch of other teams that didn't get labeled tanking.
I’ve waited a year for this, can’t wait for all of these I love you dividing
I can’t for Dallas, please rip them apart
Signed, an unfortunate Dallas fan
I just gave up on the Fuel and hopped to the Gladiators and the Outlaws. I had like 3 going into it, and in the end, I had 6. And none of them were the fuel, a team I supported since the days of EnVy with InternetHulk and Tailspin.
Dallas just became so boring to watch after stage 2. They didn't even have the drama from season 1 to keep the hype train rolling. If not for the Eternal, they'd probably be the most forgettable team in the league
Rooting for the Fuel feels like rooting for the Cowboys. It's a love-hate relationship which almost never goes anywhere
Were you a past Envy fan? D
That's why I was a Dallas Fan
Guck The Duck Yeah, I watched them a lot in contenders 2017 before OWL started. Followed them and still support them through the disappointment that each season brings
I want to point out, as well, SFS were a mixed roster, which has its own challenges to overcome. Namely language barrier. further enforcing the "Super Team" idea
ZuluHeavy I mean they do have super
SIR: Begins
Me: I’ve been looking forward to this.
Shoutout the Rascal in particular for putting up with all the bullshit he went through last year and coming back to prove himself as one of the best players in the whole game.
the 27 minutes felt like 5
Tru
I still feel sad about Choi not being able to touch the trophy.
He got a trophy all to himself shortly thereafter ;)
yeah him and sinatraa were the best players in the second season
william busmente Which is even more insane if you consider who was on their team
@@williambusmente6723 Gator still smoked Choi
@@Mongoliantiger Choi still smoked everyone else
Can't wait for the Mayhem Season in Review
“No one expected Boston to give him up.”
Umm. There where many rumours that striker hated Boston.
No mention of poor Nevix throughout the whole video.
Love the video though. I’ve rewatched all the SIRs a scary amount of times.
Lol
The production quality in this video is insane! You're a fucking legend if you do these for every single team. Talk about high effort shit.
This aged really well
I miss this series so much and man you really amp up the quality this season. Keep up the awesome job I can't wait to watch ALL OF THEM :D
Holy crap, I was so looking forward to this! I love this series!
Been cheering for the shock since season 1 and I loved this video.
If Dividing puts out a video I drop literally everything.
Super would say I’ve dropped my pasta
Dont drop the soap.
I just bingewatched season 1 and this episode and I can genuinely say that this channel is, in fact, badass.
The Shanghai Dragons: Digging out their grave (SiR)
Thanks for the ultimate birthday present (its ma bday :D)
happy Bday :)
hes using the end as a space background epicc
Honestly really impressed with this thorough review of the Shock
You got yourself a sub my man
I dunno whether you talk about if you'll make more videos, but if so I'm SO looking forward to them
Now they have 2 championships I have to watch this again just so I can enjoy it more. Feelsgoodman
What makes the shock and titans rivalry better is that it was 3-2 overall against each other. Plus shock reverse swept the titans
Stage 1- titans beat shock
Stage 1 finals- titans beat shock
Stage 2 finals- shock beat titans
Stage 4- shock beat titans
Grand Finals- shock beat titans
First time watching SIR. Loved it.
Glad to have sir back, as well as you!
peep the minecraft end portal background
Just my opinion, but everything on this vid is better, especially the background music, being mixed up more, except for the segment transitions. As the logo flew across the screen epically, with the footage blurred behind it, and the music picking up as it does that, I got so hyped, but tbh the ones this sir kinda slowed down the hype. But ya, great video. I wish the uprising had had such a dramatic season this season so they could’ve gotten as epic a sir as this.
The only sport I actually follow closely is football (as in world football, not american football), so I wasn't aware of the concept of a super team. Like you know, there's been some very good teams but there's always enough players and different tournaments to go around that achieving continued dominance is really really hard and rare.
Overwatch is the first eSport I've really gotten into, I really hope next year is not just the Shock dominating again, that sounds like it could get old really fast.
Also, this series is awesome, good job man.
I completely agree, but I have a huge question: Do you think the Titans should've have another set to play? The whole playoffs was done under double elimination, but the titans only lost once. Granted, Shock would've still won, but they got that 2nd chance; Titans didn't. Then again, not sure Titans wanna be remembered for losing 8 straight maps in a finals, but my question remains
I cant believe after such a great intro you didnt have a super hero style intro with a few clips of the shock before your into ended 😭😭
Great video, great format
first time watching your videos and i really enjoyed it nice job thank you!:)
I think that you should change the transition scenes but great video, keep the great content coming
Incredible content as always
I love your videos , especially SiR ❤
i still love that you used the minecraft background in the start
Really good video. Keep it up!
Legendary video 0. Keep it up.
So proud of my boys on Reign for being the only team in the season playoffs to beat Shock :)
Can't wait to hear about how Philly was an even wilder ride than last year
Also rip Fragi but at least he has a chance at seeing play time now
I don't think they were wilder then last year, they were just boring and I'm fusion fan
minecraft end portal background pog
>Using the Minecraft End Portal Block texture as a background
A man of culture, I see
The start was like watching a bbc documentary
(Velocities speaking)
6:11 “Hitscan heroes like Tracer.” lol
Great review overall though
This was nice to watch.
I think the most amazing thing to me is the fact the besides their huge 28 map streak, I believe they’re tired for the second largest as well, after Atlanta defeated them, in the PLAYOFFS against the BEST OVERWATCH TEAMS
you should do more SIRS this season we rly miss them
I'm excited for this season of sir! Especially for the dragons
Is the background at the beginning of the video the end portal?
Minecraft good
Fortnite bad
Give me likes
That ATL 4:3 win was the best owl day ever for me
Yo that background is trippy
SiR 😳
Great vid, thanks
This video is what we like to call a poggers moment.
ITS HERE EVERYONE STAY CALM
Glad the meta shift didnt screw over shock/titans like last year with nyxl/val. A much more deserving set of teams this season imo and much better grand finals overall (even tho it was another roll)
proud to say I've been supporting shock since day one!
Ok bandwagon
@@Woeisme2 yeah no one will believe me will they
Even though it hurts to say as a titans fan, I gotta admit, damn shock completely rolled everyone, even us, and they completely deserve everything
Got to watch the finals while on vacation. SO. GOOD. #shocktheworld
10:05 Super: they’re so bad! Hahahahha omegalul dude.
Pepelaugh
SIR IS BACK!!!!!
Shock and Titans are the only teams that have made Goats fun to watch for me.
What's the name of the song playing at like 19:50
SiR is back bb let's go
FUCK YEAH SIR IS BACK!!!
rewatching this video… what map did Shock sub Moth out for? Anyone know?
Oh did I mention they did this without dropping a single map
We go Agane boys!
26:55
NYXL: Am I a joke to you?
You need Darin De Paul to narrate the intro for the Titans SiR.
Big Willy Style I didn’t know that I needed that in my life until now.
they have insane synergy
keep this up dude
They’re like the Houston Astros of Overwatch, they’re about as good as it gets. I honestly have a hard time believing that a team will ever be better than SF Shock.
it has always been like that though. During Apex nobody thought there will be a better team than lunatic hai. They proceed to flop in owl and most of them retire. NYXL looked unstopable fro most of the first season. THe proceed to completely flop during the playoffs. The same thing will eventually happen with the shock. No team can stay at the top forever.
I love this I cannot wait to see one on dallas
I miss them...
Im sad i missed out on most of the Second season of OWL since I quit OW but now i fot to catch up on Season 3
I just hope that we get an actually interesting Grand Finals this year.
I mean OWL's first super team was taken by London Spitfire in season one stage 1 before it got ripped apart. But okay then I guess we choose to forget the past quickly lol.
What I would do to go back to this time
Some of the clips featured jehong on maintank omegalul. Poor miro
It was OWL’s first super team and Super’s first OWL team
2:20 Jehong main tank PogChamp
As a sort of math nerd I still enjoy this meta joke in "Dividing by 0" ;D
Crusty is the best coach in ow, coached Boston to their undefeated stage then Boston fell appart when he left. And you could see his impact on shock as soon as he joined. That’s not even including both the praise owl players and analysts give him.
Nyxl should be the first super team. The picture might be totally different last year if there was losers bracket. Imagine we have single elimination this year, we would end up talking about shock as the choker
Why is his background the minecraft end portal???
Is it me or did you forget stage four finals with the valiant
As a Titans fan, I naturally dislike the Shock but I have to give them props for giving such an amazing performance this season.
Forget everything you just read, the shock are only good because Super's massive forehead reflects light onto the enemy team and blinds them.
I want to say I love that a “Western” roster is winning, but goddamn I really wanted neither of those teams in the finals. Also, this makes Monte the only correct analyst in season winner predictions, so... this is honestly going to destroy the galaxy
I mean, if two teams deserved to be in the grand finals it would be San Francisco and Vancouver. They were basically way above anyone else.
Jaime Chao not only that it they were basically rivals, they were tied and it just made sense
