I still remember watching OGE streams back then and simply not believing how insanely good he played every single game. Dude was literally cracked, he would sometimes spawn camp the enemy multiple games in a row. He was just crazy good... and had a great personality aswell, such a shame he couldnt translate that domination consistently on OWL.
ty pine
Seoul and dallas in the inaugural season is basically the list imo
In the same vein, I'd love to see a Top 10 most improved players in league history!
Man I really hate when people call Flower a bust because to this day I believe that this guy was one of those incredible dps prospects that just got absolutely ruined by a full season of GOATS.
he got benched for nenne in contenders tho
@@DEVILONBOTHSHOULDERS nene was great aswell tho
this was before goats and he wasn’t that good i don’t know why tho
He was a bust. Cope.
Sideshow was so hyped for his signing with Florida😔 but never even got play time smh
I think GaeBullSsi should've been on this list, instead of Valentine. Personally, Valentine's play his rookie year is somewhere around what I expected from him. I didn't really have crazy high expectations for him, like I did for Pelican, Assassin, Muze, Mag, etc
Mandu, Gwangboong, and Elk come to my mind as well.
Yeah poor Gwangboong and Gaebullsii
I thought Gwangboong was cracked in his one year just poorly utilized. He should've gotten another chance. Mandu was just tragic honestly he sat on the bench for a year and went from prospect to ass right before our eyes
@@watson498 I agree. I'm an NYXL fan, and even though Gwangboong didn't do well the first 75% of the season, he really hit his stride strong and showed his strengths and high potential in stage 4. Obviously the reality is that getting second chances in the Overwatch League is never a guarantee, but it's still frustrating to see someone like Gwangboong not get a second chance, while someone like Linkzr or Colourhex get multiple chances.
Choi was out there 1v6ing top 5 teams in many fights and MyKaylee was out there throwing it all away again. I can definitely understand Choi’s frustration, later mykaylee even tried to swap it around and blame Choi for being racist to Chinese players and extremely toxic. Luckily the rest of charge defended Choi.
Players like Fl0w3R played in an era where the competition wouldn’t even make it out of open division nowadays. I don’t think he fell off at all, people just got good at the game, far far better than he ever was.
Custa said on stream before that Cocco wasn't doing well on Winston, and instead of improving, only wanted to play Orisa during the dive meta. They never came to an agreement so that's why they stopped playing him after stage 1.
I'd say that's a problem with early Dallas Fuel. If you are not good at the meta, why continue to bang your head against the wall failing to play the meta? Why not try something else?
@@shenko_ because its a metal for a reason. Counterpicking can work but your making a big risk trying to do it especially for metas as strong as dive was at the time
lol at the kingmykl channel screenshot when talking about taimou. Almost forgot about that doofus.
We don’t use Doofus enough, but what a perfect word to describe him
@@ctk11 just waiting for one of these ow content creators to make The Story of Kingmykl. The way that guy left the scene was hilarious.
@@sleepingaidesi remember he did a owl giveaway with all these jerseys and stuff and he just left to fortnite lmao
@@jomama5935 yeah he did a giveaway off like hundreds of items when the owl shop was getting rid of every single thing from season 1 and shirts were like $5 😂 I remember seeing that he just flaked on the giveaway and didn’t send anything but I don’t know if that’s true
I'm pretty new to Overwatch League (started watching in Season 3, but only started watching seriously in Season 4), but the first player that came to mind for me is Gwangboong. Wasn't he supposed to be the next hitscan god? I remember him having a few flashes with NYXL, and he even won that tournament thing, but he just disappeared.
I think Gwangboong is seriously underated. He should have been given another shot
Gwangboong was really really good. Nyxl didn’t really let him play the characters he was good at though and they would play flora on ashe over him etc.
I think Mandu is a decent shout. He had a fair amount of interest especially for a main support and it was just never realised. I didn’t watch season 2, but iirc the community was really interested in one of saucy/sharp and neither really worked out. Flora was regarded by many as the temporary hitscan until Gwangboong came of age and well, Flora stuck around, not Gwangboong. Gaebullsi also never went anywhere, and I think Yakpung deserved to make the list as he always did well in contenders and then just wasn’t it at the OWL level. Starting to realise a lot of the bust players were in New York at some point….
thought flow3r had a wrist injury that affected how well he could play since like 2018 or something, hard to blame him for not playing as well as he did at his peak when he physically couldn't
Makes me think of Patiphan...man... So much potential with that kid but he neglected his physical health and it costed him. Makes me sad thinking about it
Be interesting to see your team setups for the world cup, not necessarily a prediction but out of all players active or otherwise if you could choose who would your dream teams be (even if its just a few staple teams like us/skorea since 1. I don't think they released list yet? and 2. that would be so many lol)
#1 should have been "all of S1 Seoul Dynasty"
#2 should have been "all of S1 Dallas Fuel"
No but really, some missed hits imo were:
Mandu. Really hyped player coming into NYXL, we were all pumped when he turned 18, but then he was just... passive. He got nothing done except a bit on Mercy.
GaeBullSi. Coming into the league, he was supposed to be one of the best off-tanks in existence, I heard a lot of hype about him, then he barely ever played, and when he did, he had maybe a map or two where I'd say he looked better than Punk.
Ta1yo. Okay okay, he didn't have that many expectations before joining the league, but we Crusty simps were *really* excited at Crusty having a long-term project to work on, it sounded like this was gonna be a diamond-in-the-rough scenario and Ta1yo would turn out to be the season-early Proper, but then he only ever got I think 2 maps and looked *really* bad in one of those.
I think Mag and Assassin are on their way to a spot on this list of they don't find succes next season
Especially Mag didn’t he get hyped up so hard
@@thechronicle7354 mags popping this season now
@@noahcool5372 not 5 months ago he didnt but ye he kinda good now lol
I think that MAG is also a real bust! When he joined the OWL everyone was hyping him up as the best main tank. Nowadays he is one of the worst tanks!
agreed bro was a supposed “prodigy” never lived up too it
didnt age well
@@abyss3616 i have to agree that he is pretty good with the infernals rn, but we have to wait and see how they do in midseason madness
the whole of s1 envyus
This entire list just shows how much of an impact mental health has on performance and confidence levels of people in general. Sad reality really.
May be a hot take but i feel like a good amount of these players could have been held back by their teams/coaching or environment
there’s really no one to blame except the players you can pop off at any moment
"failure to realize your potential is a common thing in sports and life itself" didn't have to do me like that but ok
speedily and max definitely needs to be mentioned post 2023
Man despite being a disappointment. Taimou still my favourite player. Man looking back his downfall was, he was so orthodox and had a niche hero pool. He and most of the envyus core was too orthodox and just wasnt flexible.
Bro for the Dallas case, Effect and AKM are also good candidates for this top ten. More than Cocco or Taimou in my opinion. I'm french and i know the huge amount of hype that AKM got coming into the league. ANd Effect... Man this guy was possibly consider as the best Tracer in the world before S1. But once in Dallas, he was a big drama queen who never really performed.
Effect was never the best tracer lol. Even before the league SBB and Profit were better. Also Effect was still pretty good in the league, i wouldnt really say hes a bust
@@JaeyXVI The busts came from his constant mental breakdowns and the dramas he generate at the time in the team (even if the team evironnement seems really bad). And because he was playin in Envyus before OWL he had way more exposure than Profit and Sbb coming into the league. Even if the talent in Korea was always superior with Apex. The hype of American teams was much bigger coming into Owl S1. A bust is somebody who's got great hype, and didnt perform. Thats not the case whith SBB and Profit but in my opinion Effect a good exemple.
One of the few names i think of not in this list is Taiyo but also he was never given a fair chance to play. Would love to see the inverse of this list with players who went way above expectations and my vote is Ans
Pretty sure it was because of visa issues for why he never got to play
@@madnessman1520 I dont think so, he has dual citizenship for Japan and US so he shouldn't have had visa issues getting to the states, its possible he had some travel issues with covid restrictions but it shouldnt have been visa issues
you do know they literally only picked him up for genji and that’s it he’s not that good
lol i forgot about him
I wonder if Taimou wouldn't have been on this list if _the demon_ hadn't brought us the Goats-meta
I expected to see entire S1 Seoul and Dallas team here.
In my Opinion Toyou was also hyped to join Seoul but failed to deliver sadly
Toyou was pretty good wdym
Nah Toyou was good
5:24 Hey! Thats a bit mean.
flowers world cup performance was crazy idk what happen after literally
I wonder what players would still be playing/playing better if it weren’t for GOATS
I disagree with the Zacaharee being here. Was he a disappointment? Yes, but not because the coaches failed him. He failed himself. Being moved from hitscan dps to Projectile dps requires practice, and that was the one thing Zacharee didn’t do. Rather than practice Overwatch backstage, he was playing Valorant. So I don’t feel sorry for him at all. He fucked himself over, had he decided to actually practice he might’ve had an actual career he ultimately chose not to
okay but who tf let him represent team usa that one year lmao
I’d put Krystal in the bust list too.
#1 the current Shock roster
I do wonder if Cocco being borderline banned from playing Winston despite having a good run on him in Apex and contenders was similar to Custa being benched and Kuki playing main support for Valiant's 1st stage in 2019. Just some weird ego tripping coaches who mistake unpredictability for ingenuity.
Dreamkazper was a huge bust, but it was his own fault
As disgusting his actions where he was a very good player up until he got caught
@@XDPROWoNDeRz yep
Basically half of the OG dps gods were massacred during Goat meta.
My boy Pine 😢
Not really, the actually great dps players kept playing well or made a comeback in stage 4. Pine was never a god, he was extremely inconsistent
@@JaeyXVI I believe Pine could've come back as a great dps after goats, but his depression and fear of not delivering got the better of him...
surprised ta1yo isnt even mentioned
Well, Ta1yo was just never played and permabenched because the Shock had enough high-tier dps; for me, he always just seemed like a meme pick who was on the team because of his personality or someting, not because they actually needed him...
@@Luckyluckyluche was brought in for genji but they ended up not really needing him
I think maybe false and janus could be options. False won multiple NA contenders but got benched by mirror. And janus literally did nothing in the league. Also, maybe you could do the opposite of this video and do the 10 biggest diamond in the roughs...
Janus was only really on NYXL to give mano a break and because he played on lw blue, no idea why he got signed to another team after new York
Video idea: top 10 rivalries in 2022
Taimou said on stream that Effect refused to pay with Coco. Do some research before speculating Coco might of been left out because of an attitude problem!
might be a dumb request but coild you do a video of how the OWL olayers yhat went to Valorat have done, I think it might be intersting knowing how the likes of Sinatraa and Zacharee have faired
Sinatraa was actually top tier in Valorant til stuff happened
Sayaplayer is doing really good in valorant too he got top 8 in one of the major tournaments and carpe has now joined his team
Will forever love Miro
I actually think Beast was a lot better even in OWL he unfortunately just succumbed to the Toronto Career Killers with there vicious method of:
Pick up some players with strong potential
Have internal issues/instability that translates to the players in game
Point finger at the (often tank) players and start swapping like crazy
Hire 15 different contenders players hoping they magically deadlift the team
The contenders pickups don’t deadlift the team and win games so the team falls apart and become bottom tier.
It’s was a vicious cycle that Toronto only recently stopped doing. Oh! And then they dump all the players…
didn't fl0w3r injure his hand/wrist somewhere between his world cup performance and his OWL days?
as far as I know he had carpal tunnel right around the time he retired - sort of as the reason for stepping down. I just think that his age was the big contributer throughout his career: Being like 16/17 or what during the 2017 world cup didn't show any signs of mental strenght for the future; when he turned 18 and started playing in the league his mental condition must've taken a big hit, causing him to underperform and never really get up again...
Roar and mag have the same path it seems
Sometimes the Overwatch League isn’t meant for you to succeed no matter how successful you were during the early day of Overwatch, especially the early APEX days.
Did not Miro have Xepher to blaim for his prefårmens?
Can you do a top 10 best OWL players of all time list?
Or Mabye like a top 3 in each position, being not just the roles but like, fdps, hitscan, fs, ms, etc
He only makes greatness lists. Best players are always current players, always. He is gonna call it best players of all time but that’s because he doesn’t understand the definition difference between best and greatest.
@@nexesses1548 🤓
Dafran
Great video idea!
Good video, but man I would hate to be watching this as one of the players discussed here.
Day 139 of telling ATP overwatch his videos are the best
It’s rlly sad seeing insane players drop so hard day 1
Nero was a obvious one idk how u missed that
I'd still feel Edison in 2020 was a bust imo but I don't think it's their own fault...part of it
Personally I did not think Beast was good. I think he just got carried by whoRu Bernar Alarm and Elk
Manneten I miss you :(
haha i would have put on 90% of the season 1 london spitfire. Yes they won the overall championship but a lot went their way to get them their. NYXL was a much better team all season and then they meta change and they were the best. Their flex support was never the same after that season. The tank went downhill. I honestly believe birdring was amazing and not being next to profit let him show his skills. All these players are 100x better than me so I hope no one takes any offence.
Not really, London also won stage 1 and they were very close in stage 2 as well. NYXL was only really better in stage 3 and 4. And in the playoffs London werent only better because of the meta, NYXL already kinda struggled in stage 4.
nyxl was better in the season, london had clutch factor which is very important. you can stomp teams all you want but if you cant win championships you arent the best team
Krystal Shoulda made the list
Lol. So many Dallas players. So bad xD
Mag?
Imo proper is the biggest bust :/
What? He dominated the League?
Whoru or Ta1yo
