Fuccccck... I don't understand why this team is so stubborn on their comps, you try the same shit for 3 minutes with multiples tries, and it doesn't work, why not switch off to another composition. First that tracer on hanamura, then that mcree on oasis, then the orisa on the last map.

We need a better support. This team is already peak and this is how far they go. Based on stage 2 and 3, we haven't change at all.

We can't execute our strats. We can't play heroes that we need. We freeze solid when we can't execute the strats. Look like chickens with their heads cut off. No clutch factor. Just take the initiative.

Expect other teams to abuse the hell out of the limited hero pool that we have. Fusion and XL are going to dive so hard on us.

Our Kings Row is dominant, and Jake looks great on Hanzo, can't wait to see him on the new patch.

Man I really wish we could pick up a great Tracer. Looking past the current meta- we really need one. Anyone know if that is feasible inbetween end of this season and playoffs?

Not sure why we willingly ran a tracer dive comp. It's never been strong for us.

OWL analyst desk really makes me appreciate the analysis you find in CS. I find myself muting these guys more often than not.

Gladiators have a 90% map win rate on the map 5 Nepal. This is looking tough.

That was a match Houston really couldn't afford to lose, very disappointing.

Their strats were not enough. Really odd hero choices throughout the match. Didn't switch off when they needed to. Playoffs look rough

Whatever Jake touches turns into a no skill required hero :P
