The Washington Capitals are no longer the masters of the universe. Consequently, you as an RMNB reader no longer deserve the delight that is two straight weeks of everyone’s favorite summer series, Not Up For Debate. Instead, and as punishment for the failure, here is one full week of Not Up For Debate. Presenting the most popular series ever on RMNB, in which we will finally understand the true nature of the 2018-19 Washington Capitals through the prism of stupid popular culture. It’s called Not Up For Debate because everyone agrees that these are the universal consensus picks.
In today’s installment, Peter’s Esports Corner takes over the Not Up For Debate series: casting the 18-19 Caps as Overwatch characters.
Nicklas Backstrom, Torbjorn
Because he’s Swedish and adorable and sometimes grumpy.
Travis Boyd, Soldier: 76
A true blue dude.
Andre Burakovsky, Sigma
Mental toughness is a question, I guess (yechh), but he is so strong in bursts.
John Carlson, Moira
Sure does a lot of attacking for a supposed support player.
Brett Connolly, Reaper
Beyond deadly up close.
Pheonix Copley, Reinhardt
In case you need a big teutonic dude.
Christian Djoos, Brigitte
The other Swede.
Nic Dowd, Junkrat
Doing the dirty work in the depth.
Lars Eller, Hanzo
He sure can hold a grudge against his former team.
Carl Hagelin, Tracer
Sickest moves.
Braden Holtby, Zenyatta
Zen AF.
Dmitrij Jaskin, D.Va
Suddenly unplayable for some freaking reason?!
Nick Jensen, Mei
The unexpected must-play right now.
Michal Kempny, Wrecking Ball
He takes a ton of damage, but he’s sturdy.
Evgeny Kuznetsov, Symmetra
A game-changing carry pick in certain circumstances. Other times: hard throw.
Matt Niskanen, Winston
Out of the meta, sorry.
Dmitry Orlov, Pharah
A surprising threat, even at a distance.
Brooks Orpik, Zarya
Conditioning matters.
T.J. Oshie, Genji
More machine than man at this point, but he can still pop off.
Alex Ovechkin, Roadhog
Folks,,
Jonas Siegenthaler, Sombra
We had low expectations but the game sense here is really impressive.
Devante Smith-Pelly, Ana
One clutch dart can change everything.
Chandler Stephenson, Mercy
Need more damage please.
Jakub Vrana, Hanzo
About to become a top-tier damage dealer.
Tom Wilson, Doomfist
Lots of charges, some questionable high hits, but the power is unrivaled.
Though the series is called Not Up For Debate, I’m leaving the comments open. So you can compliment me. For the very good picks. Appreciate the congrats.
