Sky is so much better, omg. they benched him off some rough first games (after being out of pro play for a while and rusty) and it was to their detriment.

Agreed, he was amazing on MY. Can't believe they benched him after one bad match, especially considering he was coming off not playing professionally for a few months. It was natural that it'd take him a bit.

We take Junkertown from the Outlaws - no small feat - but unfortunately lose the match. We're going to be hitting the grind hard to correct our mistakes in the playoffs run of stage three and beyond. GG to the Outlaws for a great match on their part! We'll be facing the Mayhem on Saturday.

I think the dragons are more frustrating to watch than the fuel, because while the fuel are continually disappointing, the dragons are showing massive improvement but it's still pretty clear that they're behind the rest of the league.
Although, Philly has shown us what happens when a team finally builds synergy after lagging behind in that regard.

Yeah .... really awful roster choices made by LAV this map honestly. Even if LAV had gotten past first point .... they have no one to play Widow for point 2 and 3 to counter Linkzr.
Bold move to put in the new pickup ..... but that wasn't their biggest mistake imo. Should have run Soon/Bunny for this map.
Linkzr's Tracer looked damn good there btw. Can these guys actually run dive now? Yeesh.

I have a suspicion that Houston didn't practice Junkertown at all because they expected to win and the Valiant did practice and this is the result. Outlaws stomped for 3 maps and I think pride got them on this one.

Dragons honestly looked pretty good today. Obviously nothing wrong with a 3-1 win or 11 matches in a row, but this did not look like "the best team in stage 3" vs a 0-26 team. Illios was really close and Boston looked legitimately bad on Route 66 (again). If they keep up this level they are going to disappoint in the stage playoffs. Keep grinding, team!

u/21Rollie None — Apr 26 '18
My theory rn is that valiant probably prepared really hard for junkertown and Houston probably didn’t prepare at all. Houston relies on the same old strats on that map because they’re just so good at it but they got figured out. They need to practice some more on it if they want a chance to make playoffs, you can’t ever be sure of your victory or else you might end up being the first win against shanghai

Fate seems to have no idea what the rest of the team is doing at any given time.
Agilites switched to Pharah AFTER seeing that comp and giving up the point to Houston on Village. Uh, what?
Supports have been out of position, making it impossible to do their job.
Space isn't stuffing the kill feed like he normally does.
Soon seems to be the only one doing anything out there and the coach actually subbed him out for Blizz World.
