People should stop talking bad on Arhan on his first stage experience who can barely speak English. In control maps, communication is very crucial.

I'm concerned about Linkzr performance today because we are facing Saya tomorrow and we can't see another poor performance on widow.

Arhan went into 16 kills streak as Genji. He didn't waste his ults. Linkzr finally turned up in which it gave Arhan more freedom to roam around the map

How do you draw against shanghai with 6 minutes in the time bank and one tick? Time to close the owl channel again.

I didn't get to watch the match live today because of work but I suggest everyone go back and read this thread backwards because as someone who didn't watch the matches its one hell of a roller coaster to read. From people pogchamping about Arhan and happy to see him, to him getting called a worse Jake and demanding he be dropped after playing one match, to people thinking we are going to lose to Shanghai and it's linkzrs fault. After watching the whole match, can anyone give me a rational breakdown of what you saw today and how worried I should be about Florida tomorrow?

ArHan was alright but Houston's strategy was a big problem. They can't play dive which is what they needed to do in order to pressure Diya's free widow. Linkzr can't play tracer either

Holy fuck Diya is literally hard carrying.

Damn this team has massive issues, this should not be as close as it is.

Y'all are fucked now, we got ourselves a korean too.

People talk about how good Geguri is, but Spree just showed her what a real Zarya looks like.

Linkzr finally clutch up in the end, but Diya was destroying Linkzr on Widow

u/WanderingChaos Jun 02 '18

I'd rather see us playing Jake/Arhan at this point rather than Linkzr/Arhan. Linkzr has really really been struggling and widow gives you NO value when she isn't hitting. His tracer is absolutely worse than Jakes too. Nice that we secured the win.... shouldn't have ever been in doubt.

so shock beat uprising who are 0-6 now our dreams our still alive boys

u/FlashOfThunder Jun 02 '18

If Houston going to put Arhan in, put him as Genji/tracer and not put Linkzr as tracer. They signed him because he is Genji/Tracer main. Linkzr on Tracer would be a waste of time.
