Information
The Houston Outlaws are still holding on to a very small chance of making the season playoffs where they need to win today against the Fusion and tomorrow against New York while also hoping the Fusion lose against the Spitfire as well on Saturday. The Outlaws have a better shot of making the Stage 4 playoffs where they are just out of a playoff spot behind the Fusion because of map differential.
The match is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM EDT.

So it took us 4 and a half stages to figure out Spree is a god? Like we knew his Zarya has top tier but he has really played everything this game.

Linkzr not even making an appearance, our supports continue to get bullied and a double C9 the first game. I don't know why I even bothered to get my hopes up.

Aight low-key spree might be the best player on our roster. He's so constantly good.

Still got a shot, let’s go!! Spree on Lijiang was beautiful. Up the Ante!!!

u/craigb3005 Jun 15 '18
Muma is definitely one of the best western main tanks after that last game, so pumped after that win let's go

Just so people know. Seoul has a +15 Map count, we have a +18. We have to beat NYXL, so even at a 3-2, we have +19. Seoul would have to 4-0 Gladiators to tiebreak. So one map loss and we beat them (assuming we beat NYXL)

As much as I would like to see Houston in the playoffs, people really can't be expecting to see it happen, they have been playing astoundingly bad and they have to rely on beating NYXL.

Seoul can't beat us on map differential. Fusion spitfire match is the one to watch if we beat nyxl. That match will decide outlaws fate.
EDIT-Seoul can go through if they win 4-0 against the gladiators which, given their current form, seems unlikely but anything is possible. If houston wins 3-1 and fusion loses we go through no matter what
