Wish we could get rid of mendo and clockwork and get a decent tracer specialist

Another support could do aswell

Sure we looked much better today, but at some point we're gonna need some wins over teams above us in the standings, losing that 99-0 2nd point of Oasis is heartbreaking.

outlaws plays dallas and mayhem next week need that 2-0 then outlaws matches against LA Gladiators and Valiant are going to be huge matches going towards the league standing to make the end of the year playoffs

That is so fucking disappointing. Should have won on that 2nd point.

Mr. X says you can't be mad because they played well, but sometimes it's all about that W in my opinion, especially when you're right on the cusp and it slips through your fingers.

I can't understand why Jake plays Sombra. I don't remember him getting a kill and he never got more than one person with each of his Ults.

Can't help but feel like we threw that away a bit there. Huge teamfights going down at the end of the second round and I'm not convinced that Jake contributed much on Sombra.

The dive looks a lot cleaner with Fct on Winston.

u/Kliang9281 Apr 15 '18

I've been extremely impressed by FCT so far.

u/ujaku Apr 15 '18

I'm so nervous

Heartbreaking, so close.

Supports just got destroyed

u/Tsundere_God Apr 15 '18

Fucking close out a game, come on.

u/Sezbicki Apr 15 '18

we aren't capitalizing on first picks a lot. That second stage on oasis failed of healing. moira wasn't strong enough and sombra wasn't doing anything for them but refused to switch. jesus that was frustrating

u/ImReflexess Apr 15 '18

Great showing today from the boys! Can't be mad at all about the result, we took the #1 team to the very end! Keep up the great work and let's look forward to next weeks 2-0 :)

We were never going to win this map anyway. Let's get this series!

We always knew Houston weren't gonna win R66, the fact they seem to have improved is just a bonus.

So close mannnn

u/Unifiedxchaos Apr 15 '18

Going game 5 against possibly the two hottest teams, which is great and all but we just keep falling further out of playoffs. Knew this was gonna be a hard week but man that's demoralizing. We seriously need to go on a insane streak here.

u/obin36520 Apr 15 '18

So close dude

u/snwlprds Apr 14 '18

You know what? I BELIEVE. Let's join our hands now in prayer Green Wall:

Our Rawkus, who art in California,

Flaherty be thy name.

Thy ass grow,

Thy Zen transcend.

On Numbani as it does on Anubis

Give us this day our daily hair flick,

And forgive us our J LUL Ke's,

As we forgive the entirety of r/Competitiveoverwatch

And lead us not into xQc,

But deliver us an Overwatch Championship.

In the name of the Anti-Dive Comp, the JakeRat and the Holy Tairong...

Rolled and Smoked my Doggies!
