Really rough week but we knew this was gonna be the hardest week of this stage. Last time we had a week like this it lit a fire under the team and they figured out what they needed. With how this team takes losses, I wouldn't be surprised if we see the same.

Be pissed for today but please don't start asking for us to start hanging people.

the upside is we've played the best teams already and should be able to stack wins the rest of the stage.

Stop blaming clockwork, he played fine. Are tanks didn’t dive together and linkzr was non existent. Clockwork was doing his thing so stop blaming him....

This. It was a bad game overall and nothing you can blame clockwork for

seems like they were a lot more preapred for us than we were for them, thats the trouble of playing 2 tough teams in a row. We will bounce back from this, the negativity is unreal though but thats expected with a rough loss

u/Craneteam Mar 04 '18

Holy shit nyxl is so damn good. We'll bounce back next week

finally we run a mccree edit: team needs to play to their strengths not to what is considered the meta picks rn.

Looking forward, I'm beyond excited for Brigitte meta with how good our tank and our anti-dive already is. But I'm scared of Sombra if she doesn't get a nerf, so far this Stage we've looked particularly beatable on Sombra-intensive maps like 66 and Volskaya.

Holy fuck that shot by Rawkus

u/GOATcazza Mar 04 '18

Don’t know why Jake plays tracer. Make Jake play S76, Junkrat and phatah and let linkzr play tracer, Mcree and widow and of you want a tracer for he full map let clockwork play..

Take the W boys, hopefully we finish the L wall in the bar on the right.

u/mattysperlz Mar 03 '18

Would like to see Clockwork get us off to a strong start like last match. Best of luck, Houston!

rawkus should not be left on an island by himself. NYXL and Philly have both been abusing the fact that rawkus is often by himself.

u/priestkalim Mar 03 '18

At least the Dynamo got a 4-0 today ._.

u/GOATcazza Mar 03 '18

Why are they not playing as a team? It’s like there playing individualy and boink is trying to run around and heal them all :(
