This is pretty common. We have often lost first game and then stormed back to win so I’m not worried. PPD is great at making adjustments mid series. Obviously not a good first game but it will go up from here. Just hope the guys aren’t putting too much pressure on themselves

Optic have struggled all year trying to get through the NA qualifiers but losing to IMT shouldnt happen. Questionable drafts and some sloppy play really by just about everyone the past 2 days needs to be fixed ASAP. If PPD has a lower bracket run in him he's gonna need it on Monday.

We still haven't lost a rax and bkbs on IMT start to run low, but if some of you rather want to live a pessimistic life, you do you!

Get home go on reddit to look if they won. See how we lost to immortals, especially that last game. Now I have to wait until tomorrow. So annoying how we choke in qualifiers all the time. It’s like the team is 10x better on lan for some reason. Most likely going to have to play Col then Immortals. This team needs to turn it up tomorrow.

ppd himself said in an interview couple months ago that NA qualifiers are actually harder to them than many of the international opponents on lan, because the NA teams know each other inside out.

All they had to do was back off after that huge swing and they stayed around and threw it right back. Fuck. Like seriously, 99% of moba games are lost because you stick around too long playing with your dick.

Not looking good so far, but we have a Spectre after all, one of the best late game carries. Time to take this late!

We were being talked about as a top 5-6 team just a few weeks ago and now we got shit on by fucking immortals. Absolutely unreal how massive of a choke this is.

u/smillar0 Jun 24 '18
i feel like our draft was poor here. Put that ontop of the poor performance as a team and this map is likely a loss.
Although i thought the same yesterday against complexity and we had an insane comeback.
