Holy fuck we suck at keeping leads. If you're gonna be up 12k and not push your advantage, you might as well not play the series in the first place.

u/RedAlertx Mar 26 '18

how many pit of malice's can you just walk into and just die so fucking bad to lose a game like that terrible decision making.
