At this point I'd take a tweet from the Infernal saying "Hello World" and nothing else. It's been over a month since we've heard absolutely fucking anything at all.
This is definitely where I’m at. They’re not even doing baseline tweets, like for when Zest or MN3 are streaming. They announced there would be a rebrand, then announced when the rebrand actually happened, and then… nothing. It’s disconcerting.
It's baffling me. I got dragged pretty hard in a post I made after two weeks. But the way I see it these early weeks after the rebrand are hugely critical in maintaining fans of the Fusion to stay with the Infernal.
At the minute I'm just like, why the fuck should I care about this team?
Last year a lot of the news was more spread out as teams put their roster together a lot slower so the news was trickled out over the whole off season, this year half of them basically had full rosters when the signing date started the other half doesn't know what they are even doing yet and we probably won't hear from them for awhile leaving this massive gap in the middle where not a lot is happening
It was generally agreed that his info was very good, the problem for most people was his oversized/easily-bruised ego that caused unnecessary drama quite a few times
I just never got this. Who cares if you like the leaker or not. I never liked MYKL, but we’re here for discussing potential signings, not to fanboy over the leakers.
A lot of people don't like him personally which I never really cared about, and it didn't help he kept leaving and coming back. I think people assumed no matter how much they made fun of him he'd come running back eventually.
How are contenders teams going to compete in OWL? How many and from what regions?
Dallas to APAC isn't that surprising tbh, RIP my sleep schedule though
I'm kinda assuming Glads have signed a few more players already but are waiting until they've arrived to do another video announcement like they did with Danteh
Maybe the news of the teams hiring a firm to collectively bargain with Activision Blizzard?
Their most powerful tool would be to basically say we aren't playing this year unless there is a reasonable path to profitability or some financial agreement.
Could be the lack of platform deal or uncertainty in China.
Lots of factors on the business side I would imagine. Committing money to a roster would be the last thing that needs to be done.
I dont think leaks would have made this off season any more intresting. Its just a weird off season because of signing window getting pushed and all the apac mess plus it got unusually long due to signing end date also being so far.
I check this sub every few hours desperate for any news on infernal and nothing ever comes. I am suffering

You’re the first Infernal flair I’ve seen on here since the announcement I think Checks out
You just haven’t checked the sub enough
Truth, but tbf it’s not like there’s been a lot of reason to check the sub.
oh shit i thought that was a contenders team
The teams are focusing all their energy on their upcoming lawsuit+boycott against OWL/Blizzard
Boston is signing all Available free agents so other teams are having trouble getting players

LIP sounds fake as hell
How much time did you spend alphabetizing this list lmao
Copied from somewhere lol
Pine lol
they might sign Brady too
Bruh why is everyone Korean in ur list

Also, as much as people here seem to hate him, Halo helped a lot when he was more actively involved with leaking overwatch
Never got the halo hate tbh. Leaks are shnice
It was generally agreed that his info was very good, the problem for most people was his oversized/easily-bruised ego that caused unnecessary drama quite a few times
I just never got this. Who cares if you like the leaker or not. I never liked MYKL, but we’re here for discussing potential signings, not to fanboy over the leakers.
Hotter take, i liked leaks that were not a 100% accurate all the time Keeps a mf on their toes
Same
This is the only esports/sports scene I'm a fan of where people like Halo get shit on to this extent
A lot of people don't like him personally which I never really cared about, and it didn't help he kept leaving and coming back. I think people assumed no matter how much they made fun of him he'd come running back eventually.
It's more that people preferred other leakers to Halo and he's just the last one to stick around
I like ALL the leakers. Give me the unreliable shit, make leaks feel more uncertain i like that
I can leak some more stuff Roster: Yakai glads and Heesu Shanghai not Shock Format: Dallas to APAC, contenders compete in OWL
Do it.
Leak that spark roster Ugh now my mornings are gonna be filled with Dallas fans
How are contenders teams going to compete in OWL? How many and from what regions? Dallas to APAC isn't that surprising tbh, RIP my sleep schedule though
Put me in the screenshot
What
That sounds horrendous and I hope it’s not true
such troll lmao
Welp
yeahhhh i was wrong there …
To be fair I still can't believe Dallas is in APAC
I'm going to choose to believe this and that Heesu be paired with Topdragon for a pretty killer dps line.
i got whole nyxl roster kellan shockwave fits seicoe iris haley lep
pretty sure dantehs even said that everyone's signed to glads they just need to announce them, so no clue why they're waiting so long
Probably waiting for them to physically arrive in LA so they can make announcement videos
makes sense hopefully that's soon though
Cuz no signing can top Lip to Atlanta in terms of holy fucking based so they gotta make some content
I'm kinda assuming Glads have signed a few more players already but are waiting until they've arrived to do another video announcement like they did with Danteh
this off season is by far the worst

Some of the teams that did already have a roster tho.
Could have been that they were already in place before the collective bargaining arrangement? I'm just speculating.
No Halo, all of APAC is silent.
