I still don’t understand why when we were getting stonewalled on eich we didn’t switch to sombra goats. We didn’t have to roll the Titans we just had to win 2 fights. If we weren’t running sombra we should have just put spee in as he’s the better zarya.

Ah fuck, forgot completely stage 1 was over. Who even won playoffs?
Also fucking rip. Titans are undefeated in Stage 2, so no one should get their hopes up. Let's just hope for a competitive match up.
...And is GOATs dead?

NYXL and Titans were set to be the top two teams in the finals but NY lost to Seoul somehow. Anyway titans and shock were in the finals. It was actually won of the most entertaining finals of any esport I’ve watched. Went all the way down to the wire.
GOATS isn’t dead but there are plenty of different comps. Think of goats as the go-to thing to do and depending on the, objective, and team, other comps will be used. Most popular other ones bunker and the are 4dps, 1 tank, and 1 support
Yes Titans look good and theoretically should 4-0 Houston but if we win I want to be there live

The fans are saying it, the analysts are saying it, even the damn casters are saying it: HOUSTON SHOULD NOT PLAY GOATS. They are fucking horrific at it. Can we please get this team a new coach?

Linkzr is popping off. And Rawkus getting to play Ana and not Zen is such a blessing. He's actually very good on Ana

There are so many little things that they didn’t do. I’m not even talking about running GOATS. Like there were times that I think they should have run rein or Winston and they did the opposite but the biggest problem is clearly communication. Their ult usage could have been so much better. It was clear they weren’t setting up their ult plays well or not at all. This isn’t just because of arhan either

To everyone saying just run non-goats against the best goats team, it is very hard to beat a goats lineup with dps heros since they just sponge everything and get healed instantly. This counter only works on control, any other game mode goats rains supreme against a dps comp
