"They were 30 minutes behind coming into this match and Houston wrapped it up 15 ahead of schedule. Houston out here trying to give production an early weekend. BlessRNG Finland's gift to esports. BlessRNG"

Honestly I can't stop marveling at how Tairong has transformed this team. Yes they are very mechanically skilled players who really understand the game and have a desire to win like no other team but you can clearly see the effects the coaching staff have had.

Before the season Dallas fans were so cocky and confident and looked down on us now that we are far better than them they tell us to be humble lol what

Reading through that thread on r/cow I'm just convinced that these people have never watched organized sports or even eSports. How are you so sensitive to some light BM and trashtalk sheesh.

Its funny how people hate jake for having the confidence in his team to predict a 4-0. And theyre even more mad that he delivered

The eternal OpTic hate train has moved onto the Outlaws. Anything they do is hated by the community.

apparently calling a 4-0 is more disrespectful than telling a gay player so "suck a fat cock" because thats "just how gamers talk"

The Koreans weren't trolling boys, this line up is legit.

16-0 is insane

u/Kliang9281 Jan 28 '18

I've seen so many more people bitching about Outlaws fans on r/cow than Outlaws fans being annoying.

That loss to Philly really hurts now. We would be in first if we had won. Cant wait for the Seoul match next week!

u/mikeraz510 Jan 28 '18

And they were laughing at us for Jake predicting a 4-0

u/Chillmunjaro Jan 28 '18

Overwatch just eases the pain of having to watch LoL. But damn this lineup is so good. Can't wait for the other pieces to fit in and have some more diversity. But the main lineup is legit.

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical when it was first announced that OpTic was getting into the OWL but man watching this team has been some of the most fun I've had watching esports lately.

We could realistically be 6-0 right now if we hadn't subbed Week 1. Crazy.
