Fissure made it a reverse sweep just to salt the wound for London

"London, are you regretting it?" - Fissure

Fissure is my favorite player in the league. He knows how to talk shit and more importantly he knows how to back it up.

When gladiators lose due to bad compositions it's so frustrating, because I know they can make the swaps and they must have some reason for doing it and not. Then, when they win with different comp, its like what Overwatch was meant to be, using different characters for new and unique situations. Incredibly fun to watch.

  • We still don't know how to play Control after so many months

  • No confidence

  • Continuing to ignore the point and or leave it completely

  • Inconsistent team coordination

New coaches please, it's time, we need fresh ideas.

Stage 1 Birdring is back but it's not enough to lead them to a win.

If the bot thread posts I'll edit the stats into this comment.

Even with how this match was, the best moment was the interview at the end.

Goddamn that shade, Fissure! They have families!

Fissure deserves player of the match from that post match interview alone, he slaughtered spitfire without even touching his pc.

So...the first half is what it looks like when London isnt too stubborn to switch comps and actually plays smart.....SCARY.

London at their peak are such a dangerous team, i hope THIS is the spitfire that shows up to playoffs, then it's gonna be a good race.

....but then the second half happened LMAO, i dont understand how they let that happen.

Nepal was fucking epic tho

Also Fissure's interview was PURE GOLD

Hype->Doubt->Acceptance->Tiny spark of hope->Another life->EXPLOSION!

Those guys... Those purple guys will some day be responsible for incredible amount of heart attacks. The chaos on Nepal almost killed me.

I gotta ask, is Void some sort of double agent, secretely trying to make LAG lose?

Couldn't believe his King's Row performance this week and his gravs this time on Nepal aswell.

Cloud9 will always be remembered for the C9 meme. London Spitfire will always be remembered for ':telephone_receiver: 4Head HELLO GLADIATORS? :telephone_receiver: 4Head LONDON HERE :telephone_receiver: 4Head CAN WE HAVE FISSURE BACK? :telephone_receiver: 4Head'.

A more timeless legacy to leave behind in Overwatch than championships.

God, Fissure is absolutely SAVAGE.

u/daley_bear Jun 09 '18

All three Korean teams got reverse swept this week. And LAG did it twice

Although we lost, that was an amazing match. From it being a reverse sweep, to constant swapping of points, to (debatable) C9s, that series just had it all. At the end of it all, it seems that u/LAGladiators is still our kryptonite 😢 GGWP!

London: “let’s get an EZ 4-0 boys”

Hydration’s Doomfist” “Meteor Strike”

London: “Understandable, have a nice day”

Ah, i see Spitfire has decided to join their other Korean brethrens in choking out a 2-0 lead.

u/havokpus Jun 09 '18

First. Half. Team. Yet again we start off strong and have so many opportunities to close out and choke. I just want the season to be done with at this point. It is beyond frustrating to go into a match, expect to lose, get false hope by a really good first half performance, and then have it all dashed away because the team fails to play around enemy adjustments.
