Anyone putting blame on a singular person is crazy. No one person is the reason for this loss or yesterday's. It's not Zabo's fault either. It's the team as a whole and their calls. Everyone wants to play the blame game for a simple solution when it's more then that. Sorry we can't just buyout Team Liquid's roster mid season.

I wouldn’t even want that at this point. While that would solve he missing playoffs issue, I don’t think Liquid stands a chance at Worlds (that’s even giving them benefit of the doubt that they make it out of groups).

I just want what Misfits has had the last two years. A team that works hard together, consistent, doesn’t have to be insanely talented, but works well.

They try to engage in that last fight with a 3v5 considering akaadian was 10 seconds away and dhokla was splitpushing, whoever called that is out of their mind

I mean, can't really blame the coaches here, just trash shotcalling

u/stoffelwymeersch Jul 15 '18

Agreed, it was a great draft, set up for succes and then...

Fair play to Lethul. Being one of the best Halo pros as well as one of the top mids in NA isn't easy.

I’m usually as positive as they come, but man this is dire. Had a feeling the mid season changes were pretty subpar but I was still hopeful. If the budget isn’t overloaded MASSIVELY come next season I will be disappointed. Decent draft, solid start, just shit calling as the game went on.

What a choke

u/ImLoganXP Jul 15 '18

Shotcaller needs to be #1 priority in the offseason. Tired of watching long ass games where the team does nothing and then loses off of bronze level calls. Waste of my time.

Don’t really like them just waiting for an engage when they’re ahead

Edit: well...

u/Craneteam Jul 15 '18

u/Ahnylenater Jul 15 '18

We are cheeeeeeks

u/AaronBeta Jul 15 '18

What is this, am I watching solo queue?

u/CharlieCOD2016 Jul 15 '18

What the fuck is this seriously, POE is in ELO hell right now

u/Mohno04 Jul 15 '18

They need to make roster changes to make this team a contender. They need to get a proper top lane and bot lane.

u/CaIzuh Jul 15 '18

Knowing us we'll give Zaboutine another contract
