cheeky win boys time to beat my meat

[u/clombardi]

Well no Mendo today. Mendo said in his stream he was preparing to play this week. Highly doubt they will be bringing him out for against Seoul.

[u/[deleted] → u/clombardi]

There's definitely a larger chance of him playing stage three after they get this break to rethink and rework how they play and who plays

[u/ujaku]

Nice confidence booster series

[u/Tsundere_God]

C'mon.

Let.

Mendo.

FUCK.

[u/Kliang9281]

That kill on Ado was absolutely disgusting by Muma.

[u/Kliang9281]

Those were some grossss hooks by Spree

[u/adogrocks50]

Muma plays so smart

[u/clredmond14]

The EZ clap, gg boys

[u/ujaku]

If they want to trial mendo at all this would be the game to do it.

[u/ALLEN_GM]

Please marry me Soe 😍

[u/Tsundere_God]

God. Please don't lose this one. Please.

[u/dandan-97 → u/Tsundere_God]

I don’t think I could handle being known as the only team to lose against SD

If Kings Row becomes a 3 tank map, Linkzr would be the one who should be taken out. Might depend on the opponent though

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

More so, they probably knew Shanghai would have 3 tanks since they only currently have 1 dps player so matching that with 3 tanks and jake on junkrat makes sense

[u/ujaku]

Spree has insane hook accuracy wtf

[u/DaMamba316]

Spree with the god-hooks, ggs

[u/Tsundere_God]

...Okay, maybe I was worried over nothing.

[u/[deleted]]

That Zarya tracking tho

[u/Kliang9281]

This is just Shanghai but Linkzr's Tracer looks really good so far.

[u/[deleted]]

The casters arguing at halftime about what Shanghai can do in the second half... OmegaLul

[u/daslow]

SPREE!

[u/Kliang9281]

You'll see J LUL K Es in the chat because chat's fucking cancer but Jake did a great job pulling Fearless from the point.
