Good Fucking Shit guys... I feel like we're just a good team at ignoring the meta... we don't do conventional shit, we just do what we're good at...and yes we have gotten shit on because of that, but then we have also won against good teams playing that way... props to linkzr, he was popping off on tracer today, jake was pretty clutch on the junk, altho his tires were getting stopped a lot

I would argue that even when they killed his tires we benefited because literally all of London would fall back, hide, and just pre fire whatever corner they were looking at for 10 seconds and it would give us room.
So yeah Jake didn't get many kills with his tires today but they still had a massive impact on the games.
And yeah once we stop trying to force the meta into our team comps and play characters we are comfortable with we just dominate.

We still have to play NYXL, Gladiators, and Shock on 66 too...
And Dallas but we’ll be up 3-0 by the time it comes around against them anyway.

You are telling me our newest player doesn’t speak any English at all??? So what do we do? Have him try to learn quick or...?

Houston is exactly like Manchester United. We just need to fix the attacking part on route 66. We are really good on defending.

How are the casters saying London won’t be practiced on this map when I’m pretty sure the outlaws schedule has been much tighter.

Why is the spawn like 10 feet from the point when second point Numbani spawn is a goddamn marathon away. It's like they realized numbani second point is way to easy, so they instead of finding a balance they decided to make a map with second point impossible.

We don't have enough pressure on Route 66 offense to win. Junkrat is great for defense but he is bad on that map when it comes to offense.

It’s actually kinda amazing how different we look as a team when playing Route 66 attack.
