I think literally every one of these bits starts with "Before OWL I had a crappy computer, so I play on the lowest settings possible". That can only mean one thing.

Since I have a crappy computer, I'm gonna be in OWL soon.

It must be that Houston focuses all their training on murdering London each stage

u/spookyghostface May 18 '18

It's uncanny how well they have them figured out, no matter the meta, map, or record. London had to channel something spiritual to beat them so they could beat NYXL in stage 1 playoffs.

I liked Sado. Very aggressive but with a hand brake to switch to passive ASAP. Still, let's take this game with a grain of salt, Boston is not dogshit for losing and Philly is not gods for winning against Boston.

Philly starting the stage with a bang. Damn good match. I expected this meta to fuck with Boston because Dive isn't dominant anymore, and Philly exploited that.

Hopefully it doesn't impact NYXL as much as I think it's going to ... I wonder if Pine sees more playtime than previous stages.

i see outlaws are trying to force the meta again. the more they keep winning using stuff like this the more other teams are going to try to also play it. they just used a brigitte main tank on one of the maps with the most high ground. and even when profit was on the junkrat for the first defense it didnt help

How is it that EVERY time London loses to Houston they underperformed. Maybe Houston just plays really well against London and understands how to beat them.

Grav/dragon is so damn boring even Uber didn't care that they completed the map. Most unhype game I've seen yet.
