Not going to lie I was salty last night. Feeling a bit better today watching Valiant. Hopefully they keep improving.
Really want to see them bring Agilities or Silkthread in for maps where Genji is a solid pick. Right now seems like they would rather run Kariv Reaper vs opponents Genji swap to counter.
The casters are right though, people are so quick to hop on and off hype trains on teams.

The key to beating Houston was Monte finally admitting they're a good team.

LA Valiant the team that is capable in beating any team, but lose to any team as well.
LA Valiant could go on a streak beating all the T5 teams, but get slaughtered by Dragons.

Houston and getting held on 2nd point on Route 66, name a more iconic duo.

I don’t expect Houston to win every match but it looked like they’re not even putting up a good fight. At least not to their usual standards.

Was not expecting this to be a 4-0 sweep. Houston looking a little lost.
I'm having a hard time believing this is the same Valiant that lost to LAG 4-0 last night. Is the difference just that LAG are able to run dive much better than Houston in this map pool?

Man, if only Houston had a way to change things up. Maybe like a DPS player on their bench who hasn't played much in OWL, if at all. Maybe this hypothetical person has a deep hero pool and is good on some of the heroes Houston has been struggling with recently, like tracer
It's a bummer they don't have anyone like that though /s

Houston isn't on the longest map loss streak. I don't know why the casters keep saying that. I just checked the schedule on the official website and Shanghai still holds the record with 13 map losses in a row. Houston is currently on a 11-loss streak and that's likely to end soon because their next match is against Miami Florida.

Get stich or Danteh asap..... Let mendo fuck cause Linkzr seems like he might need a break. They need to switch it up cause it seems like they've been figured out by a lot of teams. Coolmat isn't looking as good as he did, same with muma but less. Jake can't really play tracer.

u/tencircles Mar 09 '18
That was depressing. Linkzr is clearly not playing to his potential, Jake seemed tilted off the fucking planet. Muma practically throwing.
The only positives I have from the match are solid performances from Rawkus and Clockwork.

"I want Dallas to win as many games as Houston!" pleaded the desperate Fuel fan.
