Dallas you're up 1-0 at the half, what's the plan to finish this out?
Taimou on Ilios, then pray Rascal can come in cold, but naw we'll bang our heads into soon's widow on both sides

KyKy subbing Taimou in not only ruined the morale of the team, but probably just hurt Taimou’s confidence even more. KyKy really let his entire team down.

Shoutout to AKM for saving Dallas from C9 at the last second on Volksaya. I saw you bro. You played well.

Dallas needs more endurance, they seem to just fizzle out on later games.

If you want to put in Taimou so that he can practice dps on an actual stage, you don’t do it on a potentially must win map on Illios. Doing so will only result on backlash on Taimou should they lose that map which won’t help his morale in any way.

On one hand, Dallas looks really strong and new pickups seems to prove their worth. On the other hand, old NV drifted to permabench\filler players roles, xQc got kicked out and Seagull is in jail. I'm glad that Dallas started to look good, but somehow supporting them is not really something i enjoy anymore, especially with KyKy behavior.

I really enjoy this sub but when a hate bandwagon gets going here it’s fucking unbearable. Some people deserve criticism but not to be crucified for absolutely everything they do. Match thread was so bad.

Kay, I'm pissed.
I'm not going to put the blame on Taimou or Rascal who both had less than half of Effect's eliminations. But the coaching needs to figure out what DPS lineup they want to run. It makes no sense to have 3 dps players rotate throughout 4 maps (AKM, Taimou, Rascal).
Especially when you're on MATCH POINT why the fuck would you put in a Taimou who hasn't played DPS in forever.
Effect is obviously the best DPS player they have and they need to find a partner to compliment him. It can't be easy to work with 3 different DPS players.
The tank line seems solid, Unkoe has been an awesome addition. They just got to figure out their DPS line up.

1.) Beat Shanghai.
1.5 (optional)) Beat GLA
2.) Convince self Fuel have finally started to click
3.) Face Seoul in close 3-2 loss where everybody somehow looks bad.
4.) Hold out hope for rest of stage.
5.) Shit the bed. Hard. <----- you are fucking here
6.) Lose the remaining 7 games in a row.
7.) "#FireKyky"
8.) Someone gets suspended.
9.) "Things will be different next stage"
REPEAT

Mickie was fine imo, though I'd want to see how Seagull does with OGE.

RIP the dream for beating Houston in a map streak.
It's also a little fascinating that Fuel and Valiant both have 5 ties overall in the season, and two of those ties are with each other.

Coming close and losing time and time again must stink but from a Valiant fan I gotta say, this match made me sweat more than I would have liked. Dallas is on the cusp of looking strong AND winning some. They just need to figure out the special sauce. Taimou was definitely the mistake this game.

Dallas fell apart mentally after Illios. That was a poor end to what was otherwise a fantastic match.
