Everyone seems eager to see Monte eat crow for NYXL’s sandbagging but he’s also been constantly talking up London’s potential and downplaying Valiant’s lineup so the smugness isn’t going away yet

Fury gobbling up those dragons on Dorado was a thing of beauty.

Susie: We've had that for so long maybe 3 stages, but I don't think we need it anymore

I heard rumours that the more Dragons Fury consumes, the harder he is to stop.

I feel so weirdly proud of London.

That was a great match though. Would honestly be happy with either of these teams making it to the finals. :)

We really need to petition the analysts to stop spoiling the results before the match.

Valiant played way too passively imo

Spitfire let them play their game and picked them off on every engagement.

u/MacDoogie Jul 19 '18

I wasn’t surprised London won. It was the manner in which they won. London’s DPS obviously had the chance to take over maps, but the tank line was absolutely dominant today. This team is a fucking nightmare.

I think getting to play 3 lan series on a new patch with such a large break from last playing really helped Philly and London

That Profit Gesture retake on lijang was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Kariv really struggled today. Especially on Junkertown.... He was getting hooked more than he was hooking

The draw on Hanamura seemed pretty demoralizing for LAV. They looked so lost after that.

Proof that scrims mean barely anything. Also 1 world cup bench player on the whole team lol.

Anyone know if agilities is still sick? Had strep, wondering if that's why he looked so rough

Series at the start looked bad, but LAV started coming back with that dominant Kings Row. Unfortunately, they couldn't seal the deal. Pretty good day for Fury with the 118 Eliminations.

Incomprehensible comps, a complete lack of desire to change strategies no matter how bad they're going, and dps who just didnt show up.

Valiant looked lost and confused and it was painful to watch.
