On paper, probably one of the closest matches of the week, that's for sure.

Guess we'll find out soon

That's actually sick. Idc about MAD or anything, but a lone team getting their whole roster picked up by a respected org is always great news.

Split, Ascent and Pearl are my favorite maps.
Keep Breeze as far away as possible please.

Will this be streamed anywhere?
DMG beat some actual real players and I think it wouldn't really be weird to see them do it again here too.
Much more of a toss up than most expect I think.

Kosher salt is a larger/coarser grain of salt that is ideal for the koshering process where regular salt is does not hold up as well. When I say the koshering process, it refers to the process of removing the blood from meats (including poultry) prior to cooking. Another difference is that kosher salt usually does not have iodine or other additives. I think iodized salt comes with some health benefits if you aren't getting it from somewhere else, but I don't know too much about it. Regardless, what it comes down to, from my experience (which is not that of a professional chef or anything), is that when you want to season a steak before cooking it kosher salt is the way to go. Any time you want to season a meat with salt + pepper and potentially let it rest to draw out some extra moisture before cooking I think kosher salt is the way to go. When you are mixing it into a sauce/glaze, salting your water for pasta or any use where it will be disintegrated into a liquid I think it's pretty much the same. Also baking is super specific sometimes, so if a recipe says kosher salt vs salt, make sure you use kosher salt. If you only have one on hand and a recipe calls for the other you have use 1/2 the amount of table salt in place of kosher salt (or vice versa, double the amount of kosher salt than the recommended table salt). This is because again, the coarser grains leave a lot of gaps and empty space in your measuring device that aren't left by the fine table salt.

I literally came here to make the same comment. FKS and C9 are switched up top. It took me a few rounds to realize. I tried to comment in chat to let them know but it's subs only right now :/

As an OW fan, I hope this team full of ex-players is good, but I'm not optimistic.

Can someone tl;dr it here so people don't have to search externally?

This was a fast turn response and change. Thanks so much :D

Petition to pin these three threads to the top of the articles section.
Soon there will be little point for these to exist since they'll get drowned out by the existence of each article explaining each individual signing.

Can we pin these three threads to the top of the articles section?

The Luminosity roster became Shopify Rebellion

EDG's team is in China and we didn't get any Chinese teams in since the game isn't really out there yet or something. So I just exempted them from the list. But look for Chinese teams to be added in the coming year's extra slots prob.

So I came up with a somewhat comprehensive list of notable teams that got left out...
(this is a bit biased since I watch most of the NA circuit stuff, but not a ton from the other regions)
(and yes we theoretically knew about some of these ahead of this announcement seeing as how some have disbanded already)

APAC: XERXIA, Vision Strikers, DAMWAN Gaming Kia, NORTHEPTION, Crazy Racoons, NUTURN, FULL SENSE, BOOM, ONIC G, X10, F4Q, and BREN Esports

Americas: OPTIC, XSET, TSM, FAZE, V1, The Guard, RISE, Pioneer Knights, ANDBOX, Shopify Rebellion (formerly Luminosity), Immortals, Vikings, NIP, Liberty, Sharks, Gamelanders and Vivo Keyd

EMEA: Ascend, G2, Guild, FPX, M3C/Gambit, SMB, OG LDN UTD, Team BDS and Mad Lions

I'm probably missing a few. If you can think of any that should be added feel free to let me know and I can try to edit this post.
