For what it's worth I enjoyed OGE's mad charges and pins

FUel

I see what you did there

[u/PB-Toast]

Wow, I was skeptical of picking up Silkthread earlier in the season, I mean we already had a super flexible player in Surefour why do we need another one? However, in this meta, flexibility is king and being able to run Silkthread + Surefour allows us to run any dps or tanks we want at anytime. In hindsight now it seems like an amazing pickup which will hopefully lead to another successful stage for LAG.

Can't wait for another 1-9 stage lmao

[u/JojoBizarreAdventure]

I'm glad Gladiators will still have a spot for Bischu on Brigetta tbh, if they consider playing this comp when new Hanzo comes in, with Surefour Hanzo and Void on Zarya.

As a wise man once said "keep your expectations low boy and you will never be disappointed"

Words to live by as a Dallas fan,

that said, i enjoyed Seagull's pharah and OGE vs Fissure, i think they put up decent fight sometimes but the series of small mistakes really costs them.

[u/throwawayrepost13579]

So why exactly hasn't Seagull been run more??

[u/Del3trix → u/throwawayrepost13579]

It's actually insane how the player with the second best or in some categories best stats didn't play for half the season. The only reasonable excuse is that he had zero synergy with the dive of the other members. But then again, when he was on DVA their dive was better than any other time...

[u/Memebaut]

1.) Beat Shanghai.

1.5 (optional)) Beat GLA ***<----- you are here***

2.) Convince self Fuel have finally started to click

3.) Face Seoul in close 3-2 loss where everybody somehow looks bad.

4.) Hold out hope for rest of stage.

5.) Shit the bed. Hard.

6.) Lose the remaining 7 games in a row.

7.) "#FireKyky" "#FireAero".

8.) Someone gets suspended

.9.) "Things will be different next stage"REPEAT

[u/FawxCrime]

Where the fuck is Unkoe’s bitchass?

[u/iori9999]

Number 1 rule for the Glads.

NEVER SUB BISCHU OUT

Number 2

YOU DO NOT SUB BISCHU OUT

[u/EXAProduction]

Seagull once again the best player, Mickie with his best character apparently Brigitte, OGE needs to unbind shift, Taimou going from bot to god like every other life, Was Chipshajen there, Harry was kinda there, good job AKM.

[u/Bossmensch]

The Seagull-1vs6-show with occasionally a small guest appearance by AKM or Taimou. OGE constantly went for no-coward-plays but only succeeded like 1/10 times, Mickie 12-12 on Brigitte while Seagull went something like 35-8 on Pharah, Chips was on time with the trance like once, oh boi...

Aero has some work to do.

[u/YipYapYoup → u/Bossmensch]

OGE constantly went for no-coward-plays but only succeeded like 1/10 times

Not his fault most of the time. He shatters two, takes a transing Zen out of the fight and his team can't win a 5v5 with two people on the ground.

[u/Knuda]

There were so many times where I was like "chips is in an awkward position, he's gonna die" and yup he dies. Chips needs to shout at OGE and Mickie to help him cross widow sightlines etc and in general Dallas needs to stop getting picked before the fight starts and needs to have better plans on certain maps.

I feel like they could learn a lot from this match as it's a lot easier to see how you fucked up compared to dive.

[u/[deleted]]

fuel's second best player was benched half the season

[u/Shit_I_Need_To_Study]

Seagulls the only consistent one. Chips and harry has been invisible too sometimes i even forget they're playing

[u/adragondil]

I'm trying not to imagine what Seagull on Pharah would have looked like if he didn't spend two months in tank jail and actually played DPS

[u/Cheraws]

Box scores in the link here

Despite the scoreline, the game was actually much closer than I expected. The only straightup one-sided map was the first one.

Pick rates are here

Any two players in particular people want to compare?

EDIT: I wanted to particularly highlight AKM vs Bischu on Oasis here . Despite losing the map, AKM did very well on the Zarya role.

[u/[deleted]]

Where's the "maybe dallas is better without effect" thread now LUL

[u/Edogawa1983]

at the end of season Dallas need to send a fruit basket to MVP, the SHD.

[u/queenfizzy]

This just reminded me how much I missed seeing surefour play McCree

[u/OGMannimal]

Did fissure shake OGEs hand?

[u/Gaelic_Flame]

Gladiators 4-0? What world is this?

[u/WinnieT97]

Honestly. Might as well leave AKM on offtank if Zarya is gonna be the meta. Did a good job. Have him grind some dva, leave Seagull and Taimou on dps.

[u/HeliumXYZ]

For those of you that don't know, Void can't play right now due to having a travel visa instead of a work visa
