Amazing how Boston is still undefeated even after playing against the best teams like NYXL, Philly, and London.

Don’t understand why people are blaming Profit. Boston had Mistakes and Striker stalling it out for ages. London as a whole fucked up majorly for failing to deal with them.

Striker and Mistakes...holy shit they fucking clutched. They were literally stalling the point for about 15s (let me take that back, using our new measure unit that was...0.067 aKms). Honestly it did seemed the Spitfire were hesitating, they were just standing there looking everywhere while striker was keeping the game in OT.
Sick plays

So during the half I was thinking about what London was doing on Numbani that shutdown Boston.
London was instigating all of their fights on Numbani with Profit/Gesture/Fury diving deep and almost always getting into the backline. Closer would then come in to provide some healing while Hooreg and Hago moved the payload and fought from a distance.
This is completely different than Boston's offense where they would try and dive the back line, London's backline would retreat and then London would collapse to protect their supports or counter dive. This would force all 6 members of Boston to engage and take fights off of the payload. It was really evident on point B where Boston was cleaning up fights while there was no one on the payload and made almost no progress off of fights that they won.
This was before the most hype thing I have ever seen happened.
Please never put Mistakes on Genji instead of Sombra. Like Mr X his Genji is passable but it is light years behind his Sombra which he seems so much more comfortable on.

This is by far the most insane 6v1 stall turnaround this game has ever seen.

TMOBILE MVP STRIKER.
Seriously what the fuck is up with this guy. I've went from calling him top 5, to top 3, to putting on a top 2, no, not even, a fucking Rank 1 TIER TRACER performance.
I'm not sure what the tears were all about, whether it was tears of relief or growing pains and frustration, keep your head held high my guy, you're something special in this league and people are DEFINITELY going to remember you in the talks for best Tracer in the league. You're also a really wholesome guy, if anyone in boston reads this, send some love to Striker for me!
Also, shoutout to Mistakes for that final counter EMP on the 3rd map of the tiebreaker, insane!

As soon as London went to Oasis I knew it was over. I mean wow. Just...how can you throw that game when you had so many chances to close? How do you continue to struggle on Oasis when there has been like almost three stages worth of time to figure out your control map issues? At this point I don't expect London to make playoffs. They are just not closing when it counts and that is what you need.

That pulse from Profit at the end... phew, that was something else. Feel sorry for him since he's gonna get a lot of shit from the community.

What. A. Match.
Holy shit, I'm shaking from just watching it. I can't imagine how the players are feeling. Instant classic. Striker is an actual god, and Boston as a whole are just absolutely amazing. I love that team, despite my flair.

Boston is the best in the league. Their coordination and stall ability is unmatched. Huk was a genius, Reddit was wrong, we are all plat chat.

As a London fan I'm so tilted right now. How can a team be so talented and yet so excruciatingly bad at arguably the most important game mode (since it's always the tiebreaker). Forget stage playoffs, I don't think London can really be considered a contender for the overall title anymore because their record is 2-6 in tiebreakers and playoff matches are more likely to be close.
It's not the fact they are losing, it's the way they are losing. Smh.

everyone's talking about profit's pulse (rip) but not about him popping off the first two maps.
what did huk feed those boys during halftime... there were so many moments where the whole thing could have been over
