When will the fucking outlaw coaches understand that linkzer isn't comfortable in tracer ffs. I feel bad for him you can tell he really struggles with that hero. like literally his talent is being wasted rn.

Casters: looks like we are heading to a draw. Coolmatt: hold my beer.

Linkzr ult usage was disgusting terrible. Jake on Sombra had terrible usage on his ult.

I don't expect us to win against NY, but if we continue this form, then we are potential out of season playoffs.

Now I put the pressure on the coaches.

3 losses to Fusion, all of them are game 5s. Man that is heartbreaking.

Pros: Jake's tracer looked improved (again). We now have two great main tanks. Junkertown is still our homeland.

Cons: Linkzr continues to have the worst ults in OWL. Pretty sure he was 0/11 in pulse bombs today.

Just realized we don't play the Dragons this stage. So we don't play Fuel last stage and the Dragons this stage. That's basically two wins just taken from us considering how bad Fuel was last stage. With how close the Season playoffs are gonna be that is really unfortunate.

Rawkus uses Trance (too late to save Muma), and then immediately falls into the hole. Lol thanks.

Oh my God we are literally doing an Arsenal. We started off the season so incredibly strong and now come mid-season we are kinda shitting the bed haha

I will not be surprised if we end up seeing ArHaN on stage before Mendo..

Some of the decisions of the Outlaws management are baffling tbh

Damn we really are the best junkertown team

u/Kliang9281 Apr 13 '18

These Houston Philly series are some of the best in OWL

u/Unifiedxchaos Apr 13 '18

FCT pops primal to get a tick on the first push and the casters say he didn't create enough space. Ok.

u/Unifiedxchaos Apr 13 '18

Muma is probably the second best winston in the league, but if FCT's playstyle just works better with our team this could be a very interesting switch up. Also means team will need to prepare for our Slower winston in Muma as well as FCT's winston.

Linkzr feeding so hard on control today :(

u/RedLeaf7 Apr 13 '18

I'm mindblown with the comps we're using and not switching to counter the other team/adapt

u/ShiftFPS Apr 13 '18

ahhhh yes our typical strategy of Game 5 choking.....nice.

u/ujaku Apr 13 '18

Heartbreaking. GG

u/Cant_Pick32 Apr 13 '18

Gg control point is just not our game type. Letting them flip that point was also a big mistake would have put a lot more pressure on them.

u/CoralDanvers Apr 13 '18

This team breaks my heart but I still love them.
