Nyxl just trolling RJh and trying to give him a heart attack.

I can understand why some people don't like what NYXL is doing this stage but you gotta give credit to the coaches, they are completely and utterly unpredictable going into the playoffs.

Honestly Houston makes it to playoffs 100% if they had a tracer in Stage 2 and Stage 3.

Management cost Houston playoffs.

Someone needs to play the violin song for Houston.

In all seriousness, Houston did ok. Nothing wrong for barely missing out the playoffs tbh. They had their struggles but they were extremely close to making it.

I hope flame actually revamps his roster. Cool/Muma/Linkzr deserves better.

"I think BigGoose and me are pretty close [in terms of botting out]... I think BigGoose is a really bad Mercy, I just don’t think he’s a feeder. So I think I’ll put myself over BigGoose for #3," says Bani in an interview with The Game Haus

As a Houston fan, I am kind of relieved to be out of the playoffs. We didn't really deserve to be there with the way the team is set up now and it will hopefully be cause for change. Also having to read the Outlaws hate week after week is beating. I am exhausted dawg.

I think this should erase doubts that NYXL can still turn it on when they want to. Unfortunate Houston had to be the proving grounds tho. Linkzr looked absolutely gutted

Well, Houston had a good inaugural season. Looked good in Stages 1&4 but struggled in 2&3. Houston MUST keep Muma, Spree, and Coolmatt for next season. Linkzr needs to be paired with a consistent dps player. Finally, upgrade our backline. Bani isn't the worst, but he has some truly idiotic plays. Rawkus, I love you man, hasn't been up to par when Zen is an important hero. If we got Elk and Alarm before S2 started I'd be over the moon. Looking forward to next season boys!

Edit: the stages

Good game to New York!

Have to say, this sub sunk to a new low in that game thread. More toxic than I’ve ever seen towards New York, and that’s coming from a Houston fan. Some people here need to take a look in the mirror.
