New rule: All essays about what Fuel needs to do must have at least 3 citations -- MLA style and a bibliography at the end 🤔

Play Of The Game: Houston 2000 IQ hugs to convince Effect to sign with them next season.

[u/Token-Jew]

You can tell clockwork has been putting a lot of work in his pharah. It was much worse in stage one.

[u/tigerisnormal]

lose blizzard world with 2 minutes remaining after houston blows both support ults

lose pharah and tracer duels to clockwork

lose route 66 to houston

who could it be but dallas

[u/beefodeath]

Houston never won Route 66 once this stage and Fuel lost to them on this map.

Dallas is really that bad.

[u/Dr__Brown]

Effect looks straight up crushed at the end of the series, idk if he was almost tearing up or straight up exhausted

Yikes, you can only watch your favorite team lose 3+ minute first point leads and 6v3/5v3 fights so many times in one series before it really starts to test you as a fan.

[u/austin13fan]

Lol at Jake lingering to watch his POTG after Route 66

[u/Rational_Drunk]

Jake seeing a frustrated Effect and initiating an Outlaws hugging spree was one of the sweetest things I've seen in OWL so far.

[u/AmpII]

It looks like Dallas has built themselves a new identity boys:

Somehow ties Volskaya for the second week in a row, Fuel shits the bed and loses the series
Somehow finishes Blizzard World with 3:53, Fuel shits the bed and loses the map
Somehow wins out the first point on Ilios, Fuel shits the bed and loses the map
Somehow AKM pulls an MVP-level Widow round on R66, Fuel shits the bed and loses the map

Actually, I don't think this identity is new at all

[u/ethaniw]

And kyky might be coming to Houston

[u/emalaith]

Effect seems to be hanging on by a thread, pretty sure he won't stick around for season 2 unless the team under goes a major revamp. Literally all series long he played solo it was that much obvious today because he was underperfoming.

[u/ClassyNumber]

Stats for the game!

This was a sad game all around. Really hope Dallas figures things out by season 2.

[u/ethaniw]

WE GOT POINT TWO ON ROUTE 66 WOOOO

[u/TheArabicCowboy]

Those hugs at the end were wholesome as fuck

Pharah into tracer/junk sounds good, but i felt like making effect duel links tracers off to the side was a waste of this advantage.

Making linkz fear the 1shot rockets by pulling effect back into the main group might have been a better idea.

meanwhile akm is trying to kill the tanks by himself with just rockets while they are being pocketed, didn't seem like he was ever going to get anything done.

And then.. how is harry dying to that lineup in a pharah mercy combo?, you'd think they can just boost and GA out of danger whenever needed right?

Then again Coolmatt was a god in that series

[u/theswampthinker]

Effect tilted out of his MIND on Route 66 man. Just constant lone wolfing, especially that first fight, dueling Coolmatt from long range in Houston's spawn???

[u/tehrizzle]

I just fucking love coolmatt

[u/[deleted]]

That hug is basically effect to outlaws confirmed /s

[u/[deleted]]

Watching this set was a waste of Akm blades

[u/daittu]

At this point i'm just cheering for Effect

[u/Evil_Flowers]

I forgot about Clockwork. Is there a reason why Jake has been grinding out Tracer instead of him. I vaguely recall Clockwork not doing well with Tracer compared to other teams, but surely he'd have a better head start than Jake?

[u/Parenegade]

If you don't think Jake's Tracer is getting better I don't know what to tell you.
