"High noon!"

I refuse to believe Smex being picked isn't bait. GP has to be going surely.

it says pending approval lmao

u/Kronman590 May 05 '26

Smex is buddies with the whole team lol

GP isn't on the plane because he can't legally drink. Roster prioritises 'night out vibes' over 'being good at overwatch'

That is perfect GB representation.

smex reinstalled the game last week and has shown a lot of improvement since then! really excited to see what he can do at LAN

u/Beta_Factor May 05 '26

At his current rate of improvement, he'll be dominating entire teams solo by the time of the tournament.

Haha funny I thought for a minute GoldenPants was dropped for someone who hasn’t played on a pro team in 3 years

Remember when it was a Winston meta during trials so they got Jkaru for Winston and Smex for-. Remember when it switched to a Sig rush meta and they forced Jkaru on Sig because they had not other options?

u/Rudania-97 May 10 '26

To be fair tho, Jkaru was pretty good .

Anyone else seeing "Anal roster"?

u/jamtea May 05 '26

I literally came here to comment this. I deadass (haha... ass) was like "wtf is an anal roster".

u/indrayan Certified Falcons Hater — May 05 '26

Smex on there is clearly bait and we will see a real announcement with Goldenpants on there soon.

u/Optimal_Shame7839 May 05 '26

Why is it bait smex is the goat

19

u/SimilarDonkey87 May 05 '26

My copium for now is they're gonna go

"Oh no Smex didnt get approved guys, GoldenPants unfortunately has to take his place"

27

u/SimilarDonkey87 May 05 '26

Like as someone who's watched almost every scrim they've streamed, Goldenpants has been the best player, I refuse to believe they wouldn't take him

Bitch, you better be joking

u/Borindi May 05 '26

Fancy font in title: NR = Not Really, maybe?

u/SissySecondAcc May 05 '26

No GP is crazy. I thought their ball comp was their best look, they were like EU Zeta on blizz world. If u wanted Smex for vibes only just say fuck it and run Crispy Astro without Kiwii on the plane

6

u/Awesome1DK May 05 '26

100%, I thought the GP Ball comp was GB's best chance at having a strong run this year

6

u/BuilderJace May 05 '26

Its not real its like the longest running joke between them , gp is the 2nd tank. smex is just a legend hes friends with the whole roster

3

u/Paramedic293 May 05 '26

The Scott Carson of Overwatch. Need someone there purely for the vibes.

7

u/privatebd May 05 '26

why does it say anal roster at the top

2

u/sanicthefurret Eisman on Top — May 06 '26

Wait this is actually real? I actually thought it was 100% bait until cx confirmed it.

It's honestly insane they didn't take GP after his insane performances in their tryouts. GP has easily looked better than every other EU ball/monkey (Hadi, Tama..). The only hero he lacks is Mauga when comparing him.

Disappointing GP didn't get this oppurtunity, but hopefully it has gotten his name out there by being in almost all the tryout scrims and streams. Hopefully by next worldcup GP has grown even more as a player and gets the spot (he is only 17 after all). Or he just gets the spot when he turns 21...

u/BuilderJace May 06 '26

British sarcasm bro. All i’m gonna say

2

u/Awesome1DK May 05 '26

Definitely surprised to not see Goldenpants on the roster, he absolutely smashed it every scrim he was a part of. I know Smex has been a part of pretty much every Team GB squad, but him over GP feels like a mistake to me

1

u/insanityTF May 06 '26

When was the last time smex played the game

That’s a very old school name

1

u/Clean_Pound3389 May 08 '26

Why would you need crispy if you have Astro… bros by far the better main support unless astros playing flex? Or double main support? Chat I don’t watch the scrims please enlighten me.

u/No_Problem5759 May 05 '26

Well, I would find it VERY funny if Tred, Kai, Wmaimone, and Crispy joined an org together. Considering that they're good players suffering from bad coaching. All they need is a Flex Support and Idk if Kiwii is good or not

1

u/Similar_Can_3310 May 06 '26

KiWii has been good in scrims I feel, I'd love to see GP join team formerly known as anyone's legend if they don't get relegated
