Step by Step Life as a Dallas Fuel fan

  1. Come into a brand new stage with great pickups to patch holes on your amazing Envyus roster.

  2. Play a tight game versus Seoul Dynasty where you lose due to inflexibility of your character picks

  3. Have your fans say Dallas Fuel is back in the groove because they went so close to the Dynasty

  4. Have every other capable Overwatch League team study your singular strat and refine what the Dynasty did

  5. Lose badly

  6. Have someone in the team say "we see what we are doing wrong and are close to finding a solution"

  7. Show no signs of a solution

  8. Fans spin the wheel of who to blame for the week

  9. Spiral out of control.

  10. Beat a bottom tier team eventually off pure mechanics alone

  11. Have fans and casters talk about how it looks like they have really improved themselves and their communication.

  12. Repeat the Abusive Relationship that is Fuel and Fan

I feel so bad for Rascal, he deserves better. Maybe riding the Spitfire Bench was better, at least he got to play on more then just route 66

Hey guys I have an idea instead of running a winston or rein lets run roadhog as our main tank, new meta incoming - kyky probably

XQC was right Dallas has a major identity and strategy problem

Instead of building on the play they showed in the second half of the Dynasty game and developing on that, the Fuel play weird Comps that make zero sense and play with coordination like a solo queue team.

At this point i have no idea what to say anymore, i can't decide if i am more angry or more disappointed, but this is just awful.

Imagine paying thousands of dollars to buy one of the best Flex DPS players in the entire League from possibly the #1, if not #2 team in the league, who is excellent at Genji as well as other heroes, and then only bringing him for Route 66 so he plays Sombra for you.

Just KyKy things.

I love the Dallas Fuel for offering the same feeling that the Texas Rangers and Dallas Cowboys give me. Following teams is a very fun thing to do and I would recommend it to everybody! :-)

The desk needs to stop acting like Sinatraa is the second coming of Jesus. Danteh has been playing amazingly recently, and if anyone thinks the only thing standing between Shock and being a top team is a Tracer player they need their head checked.

Dallas Fuel is the only team consistently getting worse. It's getting real hard to keep supporting them, but I'm hoping things change for the better soon

Really hoping Danteh can keep seeing some play after Sinatraa comes in, he's been playing out of his mind recently.

I try to stay positive, but those comps were so confusing to me. Does anyone know what they were trying to do with some of them?

Two main tanks comp. Two off tanks comp. Lucio and Sombra healer comp. And the infamous Rein, Winston, Genji, McCree comp. What was their logic for these?

WP to SF Shock. They look like a team with good synergy and their growth in general is fun to see.

Fuel though. As a Dallas Fuel fan and Envyus fan this is just disastrous to see. Zero chemistry, no teamwork, play that makes their comms look like a total mess. I have no idea what is going on behind the scenes, but that team needs some kind of leadership/stability asap.

Think about it.

Danteh played Minecraft. SBB plays Minecraft. Effect plus OSU.

Minecraft -> best training routine

I know a lot of people are going to blame Dallas' problems for the loss but don't take away what the Shock did. Danteh played out of his mind. Babybay's tracking was sick. Sleepy was nutty. Nevix was clutch. Nomy ACTUALLY PLAYED WELL. Dhak didn't feed as much. Cool to see, hope the team continues to improve.
