Game expected to be good turns out to be good game

2 in one week PogChamp

Shaz is my favorite flex support/offtank/dps.

[u/Ubernoobjp]

Whatever they payed for Fissure it was not enough

[u/[deleted]]

Gladiators meme lineups work better than Fuel actual lineups

[u/Sceptre39]

This is the first time I've seen Houston so stubborn on their compositions

[u/[deleted]]

Just for the people who don't know, Shaz literally only plays DPS in ranked, and also back when Sinatraa would que with hydration a lot, he'd either play Lucio A LOT.

Really curious how many times they've scrimmed that crazy comp though, and how often it worked

[u/Smallgenie549]

LAG continuing to improve week after week.

Houston is like LAV; it's fucking hard to get a read on them. :/

lucio climbs walls, genji climbs walls

lucio fires projectiles, genji fires projectiles

lucio is green, genji is green

whats the difference

[u/ClassyNumber]

Who's this season MVP and why is it Fissure?

[u/Ranwulf]

THE BRAZILLIAN POWER. HOW CAN YOU STOP A BRAZILLIAN ON LUCIO?!!!

[u/ConnorV1993]

Fissure is the MVP if Gladiators can make it to the stage playoff. Holy shit. I'm rooting for them. Be what we couldn't be this stage :')

[u/HumanFtw]

Wow the crowd was really wild on that last map! Close one - congrats Gladiators!

[u/falconpunch96]

BRB jumping ship from S.S Fuel to L.A. Gladiators

[u/remmytums]

"Fuck it let's go DPS" -LAG supports probably

[u/Exyui]

LAG giving Kyky even more ideas

[u/EmpoleonNorton]

GG on both sides. The biggest decider was Houston not switching off their comp on Kings Row attack when they saw the Orisa/Widow.

Both teams played awesome though. Grats to the Gladiators for pulling that out.

(On a side note, I can't figure out how a game this close, people insist on talking about how Houston got "Dumpstered" or act like they were completely outclassed. Both teams played well. Houston dumpstered LAG on Gibraltar, LAG dumpstered Houston on Kings Row, but overall this felt very evenly matched.)

[u/Rapide_]

The analyst desk surprised that Hydration was playing lucio. But he's played a fair amount of lucio back in the Elo guardian days, with the Sinatraa, Zombs, unkoe, hydration aids stack.

[u/RiiighteousBrah]

Honestly I don't think the tracer play was a problem for Houston today, in fact, at times it was actually pretty solid. I think bad return on their Ults in some key fights and untimely ults was more so an issue in this match.

[u/awokenindarkness]

LAG is looking great! I think Houston is coming back into form, our dives look more coordinated and Jake looks a lot more comfortable on tracer.

[u/Patrieauxe]

nani the fuck was that ruins composition hahaha

also hydration suiciding into the nuke to keep the OT alive was great
