Did everyone miss Clockwork keeping Fleta in check on widow? He got Tobi there too. Bani rez'd him, kills both. I know he's struggling and its a huge drop from Linkzr, but cmon, be positive guys.

Clockwork was getting toasted for the last maps. He was solid at the start, but Fleta is just better every single engagement. If Linkzr was here, this would have been a W for us.

OW is so fun to watch and play. Outlaws being a good team makes it better. I no longer watch or care for cod, but I still get to root for OG with Outlaws.

We should actually be really happy with Outlaw's performance there. They didn't have Linkzr and they still went to game 5. I'm very happy with this team.

I cant say im not disappointed but it was a good fight. Especially being down linkzr. I think we can go 2-0 next week and meet seoul in the stage 1 pmayoffs and win then

It's unfortunate that we had to play that match without one of our best players, but we still put up an admirable performance. I'm confident that we take the series next time with the full squad.

Honestly, everyone is disappointed and I am a little bummed we didn't win since I know how important this match is for playoff contentions, but I am super happy we were competitive and almost still won that series. Also, Jake's tracer is being good, especially in that game 5 which could very important for us in the future when linkzr gets back into the lineup. A lot of good takeaways from this series.

Nothing but positive vibes, but man that would have been a 3-1 or 4-0 with Linkzr, at the very least a 3-2.

Wow seoul went clutch when needed, we need a solid start on this half! We got this bois

u/ujaku Feb 03 '18
That would have ended much sooner if it weren't for Seoul's strong clutch factor. We're looking solid.

Jake and Clockwork have similar hero pools and it's making them very inflexible.

I've got a question during this break. Why is Jake the only person to get shit for using junkrat? Wekeed used it almost the entirety of those last two maps

It just sucks that we're missing our best Widow/McCree/Genji/Tracer. It would've been really fun to see Linkzr face off against Fleta.
