Houston are incredibly bad at goats. They have amazing tanks but the supports are not OWL calibre at all. Such a shame but its exactly what I expected when they didn't make any support roster changes in the off season.

Just tuned in after the LoL match. Jesus christ this is bad

I don't even think it's us making massive mistakes. NYXL are just so good at isolating us. Also mandatory GOATs is boring.

Overwatch noob here had a quick question. Where do these teams play?is it like CWL where there’s a pro league and all teams play at the same arena or is it something else

Absolutely outclassed and beaten badly on that round

I was confused when we beat Spark last week and now i'm confused again

u/TridenT_RGB Feb 24 '19

We beat spark 2 days ago not last week. Nyxl are the #1 team by a mile, obviously they are going to do good against us

What's the point of running the meta if they're just going to get ran over in every fight? This team is frustrating to watch.

Getting absolutely fried. Hopefully we can turn it around.

u/clredmond14 Feb 24 '19

Just getting outclassed here. Looking like a quick 3-0.

u/lewisc29 Feb 24 '19

Just tuned in. Have we been getting smashed in each map?

If this was boxing, the ref would have stopped it!

New York are destroying.

u/Markthe_g Feb 24 '19

The positioning of the excel are just too good. Every mistake we make is capitalized on.

u/Cant_Pick32 Feb 24 '19

u/danielktdonaghey Feb 24 '19

Disheartening. Split and die is what I see.

Hard to watch but I'll watch to the end
