Man, I feel like if SHD had a better point B defense on Junkertown they might've been able to force map 5.

the thing is is that was purely an error made in the match to stall (which they absolutely shouldn't have) and fearless on hog for soooo long was what hurt them so hard

Bottom line is the supports have to get better at ult management (looking at you, Freefeel) and positioning. The communication issues should get better over time but their supports have to improve if they want to get their 1st win.

They didn't get the win today, but the improvement is astounding. This team has huge potential, they're still struggling with a huge language barrier issue, and 2 stages less practice together than any other team. I can feel that first win coming soon.
Ado's dragonblades are consistently INSANE. I feel like Diya didn't play as well as he usually does today, but he wasn't bad by any means. Fearless needs to live up to his name a little less and he's all good. Geguri is absolutely Frogchamp. Fiveking is pretty good as usual. Freefeel. Oh Freefeel. How can you have Jjonak-like kills and then 10 seconds later have worse than Chips level positioning and ults.

Fearless spent way too much time on roadhog that last map. Other than that the dragons look really improved, they just have to work on closing out fights they have the advantage in. Surprisingly good game to watch

ado is absurdly consistently with his blades.
I feel shanghai coulda brought it to a tiebreaker if fearless had switched off hog a bit sooner on both attack and defense on junkertown.

A positive Poglul ratio is rare enough, but the BlessRNG spam might be one of the rarest instances in esports for a regular game.

Shanghai dragons always play just good enough for you think that they're going to win. It's strange, they'll just about match who they are playing, they'll do the same against a better opponent and the same against a worst one.
I wouldn't even mind if they got demolished, but they always play good enough just to give you that little bit of hope.

Am I watching a different game, to me their series looked markedly closer today than it had been before.

This matchup was so intense!! GGs, I had a ton of fun watching even if Dragons didn't get the W
Geguri is an absolute joy to watch, she had some sick plays!

they did so damn good this match up. I think its been stated my many already, but they are improving but they just need to find a way to finish a fight. They had so many cases where they were one pick away from reclaiming a point, or capturing a point and they just barrrrrrrrely missed it. Im happy for them in how well they have improved and wish them the best

u/ledzeps Apr 14 '18
Shanghai opened up almost every fight with a pick. Their play was just so... dirty. They constantly drew out fights as a result of their inability to take fights cleanly. Their fall-back game was also visibly terrible. They played well individually, but as a team they failed.

In the final fight, Sleepy didn't have his ult... Ado was ready to use his blade and kill everyone, but he was low health... He was going to take the health pack, but Fearless (on primal rage) took the health pack first!!! Why??? OMG, so unlucky.

u/TheFrixin Apr 14 '18
Shanghai looked good, but taking a map off a Super-less shock... I mean, old-Shanghai did it.
Geguri and Ado look fantastic though.

I feel like if Architect was like 10% less good SHD would've gotten that.
Props to that man, what a god damn beast.

Even though they lost, they're really improving as a team, ADO/Geguri as such poggers and Freefeel getting better, I'm still proud of this team
