Hey BW Community! With SPL XIII underway, this thread will be used to discuss BW related topics, whether it's about the players, general metagame trends, matches, predictions and so on. This thread will be updated frequently with each new week, player standings, and replays.
So what can we expect to happen? What will change in the meta game? Some common thoughts was the nonsense continue could continue! I personally wouldn't bet on players pulling up a full yolo cheese when the season starts, but clicking accept with a Psyspam loaded could also pose a potential risk of your opponent throwing caution to wind and bringing the bug. Psyspam's run of dominance last SPL came under contention when a 6 year old team kicked the lid off the coffin with support of "top players"; garnering a meme level fame and absurd usage statistics. The Volcarona centered Hyper offense's popularity further gave rise to derivative offense teams all attempting the cheese their opponent, see Cloyster HO. The nonsense introduced chaos in the meta and fueled heated(?) debates amongst players on the actual quality of play and the BW council banning luck based items (Kings Rock). If you have in recent months sucumbed to the boredom, and laddered in BW OU, you mighthave noticed that the nonsense Hyper Offense trend has taken over the ladder. I would hesitate to assume that the ladder's trends represent the actual meta, but the question still remains before the season kicks off: what the hell are we going to expect to see here in these opening weeks? Does the nonsense continue? Or have the top minds of BW secretly cracked the code, leaving us casuals in the dark on what's the next step the metagame takes?
