minor flame
#

was the biggest whiff

#

of a blade

pearl stratus
#

He rushed that blade.

minor flame
#

ive ever seen

pearl stratus
#

Too much panic.

gilded peak
#

Feel like Erster should have played Genji from the beginning

minor flame
#

I think this match is what I call a Close Roll

#

where they got to round 3

worn falcon
#

yep, already on 100, insta blade

minor flame
#

but round 3 is the roll

pearl stratus
#

Give 20 seconds, Atlanta shifts t othe right. Force HZS more towards the left corner

#

Then blade.

balmy wolf
#

reign only surviving due to erester breaking his back

pearl stratus
#

And yeah thats Atlanta's main problem, they're 100% reliant on pop offs.

minor flame
#

Reign has been having some poor target focus and planning against Spark

#

there are alot of fights where they lost just because they didnt focus shit

#

and they didnt plan against what Spark was gonna do

pearl stratus
#

HZS is a non-star team. Everyone just plays well together, so losing any one player doesn't change a lot

minor flame
#

you could argue IDK is a star player

#

and Guxue

gilded peak
#

Wow Bazzi, great reaction

minor flame
#

but yeah

#

Spark is a good example of a team with great coordination without

#

an actual carry

rapid locust
#

Guxue is a great player

pearl stratus
#

I'd argue Guxue really only carries on Winston, he just plays well with everything else.

worn falcon
#

ATL have like 0 focus, way to reliant on the ults

rapid locust
#

wasn't he on china's team in the world cup?

worn falcon
#

yes

minor flame
#

gg

rapid locust
#

his rein goats was really good

balmy wolf
#

that sleep

minor flame
#

that was a banger of a sleep

inland pawn
#

Bebe

raw ermine
#

GG

minor flame
#

yikes

rapid locust
#

gg

minor flame
#

this is actually what i call a Close Roll

worn falcon
#

The fuck was gator doing up here?

raw ermine
#

4-0 is a bad way to go

rapid locust
#

no re

pearl stratus
#

I think Gator was trying to reset.

uneven wren
#

there it is

#

4-0

gilded peak
#

Just like the Spitfire.

pearl stratus
#

And the two just followed him

flat patio
#

SPARK WINS

pearl stratus
#

And didn't let him.

flat patio
#

YAS

uneven wren
#

got that pick right

warm helm
#

so proud of my bois just for making playoffs ggs

minor flame
#

I think Spark has finally proven themselves again to be a top team

#

theyve definitely overcame the meta shift in time

pearl stratus
#

What do we think

rapid locust
#

this is when dogman get's the spark sick and they lose next match

pearl stratus
#

20 minutes till Dogman makes a twitter post that they only lost because he was sick?

minor flame
#

Dogman was still playing

#

fine

trim shadow
#

terrble way to end the season

minor flame
#

i guess

trim shadow
#

but then again

worn falcon
#

Dogman with clown wig again and being sore loser

trim shadow
#

we werent suppose to make it

dreamy cave
#

atl did really good yo. im proud of them and theres always next year

rapid locust
#

if he was too sick to play then he shouldn't play

pearl stratus
#

They don't have other options.

minor flame
#

then who tf were they gonna put in

#

Kodak?

#

lmfao

balmy wolf
#

kodak isnt on the team anymore

pearl stratus
#

Nlaeer Moira.

minor flame
#

bruh

dreamy cave
#

kodak sucks

storm cloak
#

Poor erster

trim shadow
#

kodak isnt on the main roster

minor flame
#

its kinda weird

storm cloak
#

That man tried so hard

minor flame
#

we expected Spark vs Atlanta to be a banger of a match

pearl stratus
#

Kodak has the same amount of Grand Finals appearance as the rest of ATL though ๐Ÿ˜›

minor flame
#

ended up it was a banger for 2 rounds

#

then it ended in a roll

balmy wolf
#

kodak just had a perfect season in contenders

pearl stratus
#

That was also the only match of these entire finals that was that one sided.

balmy wolf
#

he is a good flex support

pearl stratus
#

Like other than that every other game has been decent at the least.

storm cloak
#

๐Ÿ˜ณ

minor flame
#

hasnt London and Seoul been one sided

storm cloak
#

Poor poor erster

#

Seoul did something I think

pearl stratus
#

Seoul showed fight.

#

None of the matches were -complete- blowouts.

minor flame
#

I mean to be completely fair

pearl stratus
#

The first three maps of this series were just...

#

Oof.

#

Yeah oof works.

trim shadow
#

its more spark taking a slow time to adapting to a meta

minor flame
#

its not like ATL got like full held

#

they did complete maps

balmy wolf
#

The only complete blowout playoff matches were during the goats meta

#

in stage 1

minor flame
#

but they fail to

#

consistently

#

go on

pearl stratus
#

Yeah but other than Gibraltar there was no map where i was like "Atlanta could win this."

worn falcon
#

FunnyAstro was benched since he was hired?

rapid locust
#

who is casting the next game?

minor flame
#

FunnyAstro is worse Masaa

worn falcon
#

did he had gameplay?

pearl stratus
#

He's not on the main roster.

minor flame
#

gonna be honest

pearl stratus
#

He's 2 way.

#

And he's not worth playing over Masaa.

minor flame
#

2 way can be played unlimited in Playoffs and Finals i think

#

but

#

theres no use

#

if most 2 ways arent better

rapid bobcat
#

Funny how the actual top 5 in the league is still in the playoffs

autumn briar
#

Jeez

minor flame
#

I didnt notice Bazzi much

autumn briar
#

Atlantaโ€™s getting rolled

minor flame
#

but Bazzi is pretty

#

uhh

#

i think he was good

#

i didnt see much

pearl stratus
#

Bazzi does his job.

#

He's never going crazy, but he's never not doing his job.

balmy wolf
#

bazzi was just shutting down erester and babybay

pearl stratus
#

He's the type of consistency you want, honestly.

worn falcon
#

Bazzi did his job, nice walls and ults

minor flame
#

everyone on Spark is pretty consistent

#

and thats all you have to ask for

#

except

#

Ria

#

Ria is the exception

#

hes not very consistently good on the Sigma

pearl stratus
#

Ria outplayed Gator most of the series, honestly.

#

Faster/better ults, consistently.

minor flame
#

Yeah but there alot of times where he messes up his ability

#

management

#

rotation thing

rapid locust
#

ria is not as good as he needs to be on sigma for this playoff

minor flame
#

like in Numbani

worn falcon
#

There was not so much follow-ups on Gator ults as sigma

minor flame
#

everyone got pulled

#

and instead of shielding

#

Ria rocked

pearl stratus
#

I dunno, this series was interesting.

minor flame
#

and everyone died

pearl stratus
#

His rock accuracy is kind of scary though

minor flame
#

he had some very good rocks

worn falcon
#

Most of Atlanta mistakes i think were more for being tilted and bad timing

pearl stratus
#

He's like a squire from FFT.

#

Just boom.

#

Throw rock.

minor flame
#

See heres the thing

#

ATL has fine teamplay

trim shadow
#

babybay was feeding for the first 2 maps

#

and then they fell apart

minor flame
#

but when theyre not rolling

pearl stratus
#

Atlanta relies on their dps too much, imo.

minor flame
#

they dont have momentum

trim shadow
#

oh shit what do we do next

pearl stratus
#

Especially Erster.

minor flame
#

they rely too much on individual dps

#

thats why I predicted Shock would win

#

cause Shock had a better team cohesion

#

turns out that was wrong but still

pearl stratus
#

I can't think of a dps they could replace Erster with where they'd have come as far as they did.

#

Erster is a monster.

minor flame
#

Erster is a good carry

sinful rune
#

nooo atlanta

minor flame
#

but hes not that great on Doom than his Genji

worn falcon
#

The apocalypse for players and coach is coming

pearl stratus
#

He's good against Dooms of the same level.

rapid locust
#

I thought they were gonna give the mic to atlanta

pearl stratus
#

But once there's a better Doom its noticeable.

rapid locust
#

why didn't they do that?

minor flame
#

why?

#

Cause genji is not very consistently viable

trim shadow
#

2 hours flat left for bl3 anddd atlanta didnt burn that time

minor flame
#

throughout the entirety of a map

trim shadow
#

argh

pearl stratus
#

My BL3 is at 64%.

balmy wolf
#

genjis only purpose was to farm blade and ruin the bunker

minor flame
#

I want to download BL3 but im definitely not gonna do it for the humor

#

the humor is hit or miss

trim shadow
#

ive already done a download on my ps4 so i just have to wait till the timer counts down

worn falcon
#

Do Glads have oportunity to defeat SFS?

minor flame
#

the story is good but I think they peaked at BL2

#

and I dont think the story is gonna be as good

balmy wolf
#

glads and shock is gonna be a close one probs

pearl stratus
#

I just like shooting things for loot.

trim shadow
#

imagine downloading bl3 for humor and not pure gameplay

minor flame
#

yeah

dreamy cave
#

whats bl3?

trim shadow
#

holy shit

minor flame
#

Gameplay is the real reason

trim shadow
#

what is that shirt

worn falcon
#

Borderlands 3

uneven wren
#

la has a chance

pearl stratus
#

Borderlands 3.

minor flame
#

boys love 3

dreamy cave
#

ohh

minor flame
#

Shiny raincoats

balmy wolf
#

the best looter shooter series

pearl stratus
#

I don't think LA has a huge chance.

rapid locust
#

yes

rapid bobcat
#

CRIKEY

worn falcon
#

WTF Uber and X

rapid locust
#

good casters

pearl stratus
#

Because they only have on Hydration.

worn falcon
#

Gold

rapid bobcat
#

What are THEY WEARING\

minor flame
#

Im predicting Shock wins

worn falcon
#

over

pearl stratus
#

And LAG needs 3 Hydration minimum.

worn falcon
#

the camera

#

it's like some stripper clothes

minor flame
#

if only Glads had 4 hydrations

#

Hydration could be a MVP candidate

#

with how flexible he is

pearl stratus
#

Hydration is their best Main Tank, best Off Tank, Best Doomfist.

rapid locust
#

no they need 7 hydrations

pearl stratus
#

Awkward meta for them.

minor flame
#

they need 5 hydrations and one surefour

trim shadow
#

so hangzhou making grand finals looks like a possibility

worn falcon
#

Hydration is surprising very flexible

minor flame
#

NYXL vs Spark is interesting

rapid locust
#

maybe?

minor flame
#

since both of them

worn falcon
#

dunno if i want to use "consistent"

minor flame
#

have been really good on the bastion comps

worn falcon
#

but he is good

rapid locust
#

who knows at this point

pearl stratus
#

Spark is good at breaking the Bastion though.

#

From what we saw.

#

Which is rare.

minor flame
#

Spark plays alot more counter defensive I think

dreamy cave
#

i dont want spark to win :0 either nyxl, or shock. i dont want anyone else to win other than those 2

minor flame
#

they know the enemy win cons

#

and try to play around that

#

NYXL is also more

#

passive?

#

I guess

pearl stratus
#

Honestly I like the gold hoodie.

#

Just the material looks uncomfortable af.

minor flame
#

I prefer orange

#

LMAO

worn falcon
#

Wait, Sigma?

#

weeeee

pearl stratus
#

He's their best Sigma.

#

He's also their best Orisa.

minor flame
#

Hydration is their best Sigma, Orisa and Doomfist

dreamy cave
#

even if nyxl are passive, they seem to have been doing good on pushing and being aggressive recently

uneven wren
#

hydration's doom usage = nice

trim shadow
#

that hoodie makes me sweaty

#

cause of that material

minor flame
#

Spark makes it clear to know what their win cons are

#

and they go aggressive on that

#

thats what they definitely did on Atlanta

pearl stratus
#

Surefour isn't fat.

rapid locust
#

I don't know who is going to win but I know that it's going to be more interesting than the last one. because of the casters

pearl stratus
#

But he does a fat kids waddle.

trim shadow
#

big goose is a litteral fucking tank

minor flame
#

Sigdration

#

Oridration

#

Doomdration

pearl stratus
#

He's got that fat kid flat foot shuffle, the kind where they don't lift their feet up high enough and almost trip themselves.

sinful rune
#

decay has such a tiny neck

dreamy cave
#

u mean the penguin waddle?

minor flame
#

Moth

#

is angry

trim shadow
#

big goose looks like a walking gumball with sticks for legs

minor flame
#

Moth is upset

pearl stratus
#

Moth is going to pvp in real life.

trim shadow
#

that mf black dude switched teams again

pearl stratus
#

He's just going over the desk.

trim shadow
#

he had a spark jersey on with the flag

minor flame
#

hes going to be given the mic

trim shadow
#

and now he has a shock jersey on

minor flame
#

and hes going to tackle the interviewer

#

and get the mic himself

rapid locust
#

haha

trim shadow
#

goose looks like he eats mic's

minor flame
#

hydration pls com to brazil

worn falcon
#

rip team brazil

dreamy cave
#

if they give the same person a signed jersey from a different team im gonna b mad

pearl stratus
#

Rofl the fucking chair shuffle.

worn falcon
#

same as team mexico

dreamy cave
#

purple v orange

minor flame
#

Decay Doomfist?

#

woo boy

#

lets see how this goes

dreamy cave
#

here we go

pearl stratus
#

This is interesting

worn falcon
#

Hydration sigma

pearl stratus
#

Because Choi isn't that great on Sigma.

#

So you could play the weaker Sigma for the better Doom

minor flame
#

man every match in Busan looks like deja vu

#

especially with how the doomfists play

pearl stratus
#

What was Decay doing

#

Sitting on the roof strafe spamming

#

For like 20 seconds

minor flame
#

seems like Decay doesnt even know how to properly rotate doom cds

#

Sinatraa should be able to outplay Decay immensely

#

this is probably a gg from the start

pearl stratus
#

Sinatra is at 70% already.

#

In about 25-30 seconds.

rapid locust
#

yeah

worn falcon
#

That decay ult was weird

sinful rune
#

i can promise you that decay is gonna get benched for the rest of the match after this. hydration is gonna get put on doom

#

decay's doom is sorta tragic

minor flame
#

its funny how Decay was hyped to be like the mvp of glads

#

now hes just

#

bench warmer

rapid locust
#

I thought decay was a tank player

dreamy cave
#

not really bench warmer when hes playing rn

sinful rune
#

Whoever paid $300,000 for decay is not longer employed by the gladiators, I can tell you that much lmao

minor flame
#

hes gonna be the bench warmer after this map

#

his doom is definitely not gonna be enough

rapid locust
#

yep

worn falcon
#

The moira ult was odd

pearl stratus
#

Nah, Decay was still a smart pick up.

worn falcon
#

from viol2t

pearl stratus
#

The problem is no one can predict two metas where your hitscan specialist can't be used.

quasi stump
#

just saw the Reign-Spark score.. LUL

sinful rune
#

@pearl stratus He for sure wasn't worth the 300k though. And surefour's hitscan is probably a little better

minor flame
#

Bastion on Meka Base

#

this is

#

bruh

#

Surefours hitscan IS better im not gonna lie

sinful rune
#

^

minor flame
#

but hes the only one on the glads who can duo with Decay

pearl stratus
#

His Widow is better, I wouldn't argue anything else is better.

minor flame
#

woah

#

woah

sinful rune
#

His mccree is better too. I've seen decay go onto mcree in a game and it was really hard to watch

minor flame
#

SOMBRA?????

#

in PLAYOFFS????????!!!???

quasi stump
#

lool

worn falcon
#

Sombra?

minor flame
#

what is this?

quasi stump
#

trying to hard counter that bastion

minor flame
#

Stage 2-3?

#

and hes staying on Sombra

#

wow

pearl stratus
#

She'll be coming back

worn falcon
#

hard to drop 70% i think?

pearl stratus
#

With her buff / sigma nerf on PTR.

#

She'll be back.

minor flame
#

HAHAHAHA

sinful rune
#

ok that slide off the wall

minor flame
#

THAT PUNCH

#

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

dreamy cave
#

this is so sad

#

they never used a damn ult

sinful rune
#

doom's rocket punch is gonna get a fix soon, it's so rare to actually have it work properly

dreamy cave
#

there trolling

pearl stratus
#

Best thing is

minor flame
#

if Dooms bugs get fixed

pearl stratus
#

You could have combo'd with Sigma.

minor flame
#

he becomes the must pick hero

#

of ever

pearl stratus
#

Sigma ults -> Lucio counter ults -> EMP.

sinful rune
#

His bug will get fixed for the sake of not having a bug, but he'll probably get a nerf too

minor flame
#

when enemy sigma ults you usually lucio ult then sigma ult too

worn falcon
#

Choi rocks arent the best huh

minor flame
#

then when they lucio ult you use supercharger

#

i think

worn falcon
#

compared to spark and atl

pearl stratus
#

If you have emp though you can remove the counter.

minor flame
#

yeah this is definitely not the meta comp style

#

but like

#

Sombra Reaper new meta!!!!!!!

#

Doom Reaper dead?!??!?!

pearl stratus
#

Wheny ou don't have to worry about the other teams Doom

sinful rune
#

Alright, bye decay lol

pearl stratus
#

You can do what you want.

dreamy cave
#

sombra reaper or sombra doomfist

minor flame
#

Hackfist time

#

๐Ÿ˜Ž

#

ok bye decay

balmy wolf
#

sinatraa has no need to switch when decay is such a bad doom

dreamy cave
#

wasnt sombra doom meta not even that long ago?

pearl stratus
#

She's going to be so annoying when she can hack away Sigma's shield.

dreamy cave
#

vs goats?

sinful rune
#

Decay is 100% getting subbed, and if he doesn't it's concrete proof that teams are told to throw matches sometimes.

minor flame
#

it wasnt meta against goats

#

meta against goats was more like Pharmercy Sombra

#

or Hackfist yeah

#

but Pharmercy Sombra was the more popular one

pearl stratus
#

It was used in contenders some, but never really made it into OWL.

#

By then it was 1:3:2.

minor flame
#

by then Shanghai had made both Pharmercy Sombra and Hackfist into their own comp

#

Pharmercy Hackfist and Pharmercy Sombra Widow

worn falcon
#

Wonder if decay is gonna warm the bench or using him again

pearl stratus
#

Still surprised at how useful Youngjin ended up being.

minor flame
#

Youngjin is underrated

#

he comes in clutch alot of times

#

but in Stage 3 he was

#

the best doom

pearl stratus
#

In fairness he wasn't ever really known for more than his Brigitte on KDP.

#

Then we got Hog, Doom, etc.

minor flame
#

His brig was good but his flexibility to Hog Doom and all

#

was really good

#

albeit Geguri could probably replace Youngjin with Hog

#

I think if Shanghai had won against London they wouldve gotten further

pearl stratus
#

Now, yes.

minor flame
#

the meta seems to be more inclined to Shanghai

pearl stratus
#

But back then you wanted the flexibility to dps.

#

So she wasn't useful.

minor flame
#

true

balmy wolf
#

dragons academy team was actually doing pretty good, but they lost to the finals

sinful rune
#

is la gonna throw?

#

decay still in = la throwing

#

paid actors

minor flame
#

wait is decay still in

#

bruh

sinful rune
#

Yeah they were paid to throw the match, unlucky

#

I mean, it's known that teams are paid to throw sometimes xD

balmy wolf
#

or or your team is just bad

uneven wren
#

ok for real teams don't throw

sinful rune
#

they are right now?

uneven wren
#

especially when there's money on the line

pearl stratus
#

Shh.

#

Don't argue with twitch chat

uneven wren
#

putting decay in isn't simply "throwing"

pearl stratus
#

He'll just keep talking.

sinful rune
#

Yeah we don't know what's in their contracts.

uneven wren
#

lol twitch chat

pearl stratus
#

Whenever someone says something so stupid I assume their parents drank while pregnant I just title them Twitch Chat in my head.

rapid locust
#

I totally believe players get paid to throw, more money since they still haven't been paid since season 1

pearl stratus
#

It's how I get through the day.

sinful rune
#

But what if putting decay in is throwing? owo

#

My mom actually did drink while she was preggers :/

pearl stratus
#

Explains a lot.

sinful rune
#

they're still throwing though

#

Decay is awful

#

they needed to sub for the win

pearl stratus
#

Also find me literally one account of someone not being paid, even Rawkus was getting paid.

#

And they didn't have an owner lol

minor flame
#

Decay is fucked

#

gg

rapid locust
#

they will switch in half time

dreamy cave
#

hes not benchwarming just yet huh

pearl stratus
#

It's a hard place.

#

Because Void's Sigma is so bad.

sinful rune
#

they should have switched before they're 2 down xD

pearl stratus
#

So what do you want to have the worst one of:

#

Sigma or Doom.

#

They probably gambled that Sigma has a bigger impact.

minor flame
#

wrong choice

sinful rune
#

have decay learn sigma ffs

rapid locust
#

decay is just voids live game set warmer

minor flame
#

DPS is always gonna have the bigger impact

#

this meta is so DPS centric

pearl stratus
#

Not saying it was the right choice, just what they went may have gone with.

rapid locust
#

this meta was forced to be DPS centric

sinful rune
#

doom has a much bigger impact than say reaper tho

#

honestly s4 mioght be able to learn/play sigma, have decay play reaper, it's easy

#

you literally cannot be bad at reaper

minor flame
#

have you heard of

#

Babybay

sinful rune
#

^

#

i guess so yah

pearl stratus
#

There's plenty of bad reapers in the league.

sinful rune
#

^ that's a sad statement

#

it's reaper

minor flame
#

Reaper himself isnt a hard character

pearl stratus
#

With anything there's good and bad.

dreamy cave
#

u cant just call out babybay when there are reapers who didnt even make it to grand finals

#

:0

minor flame
#

his skillcap comes from outplaying the mirror and playing with your team

pearl stratus
#

Look at anyone ranked below Diamond.

#

They literally can't deal with Reaper

minor flame
#

Heres the thing

pearl stratus
#

Even in diamond they can't always.

uneven wren
#

finally decay is playing

minor flame
#

Atlanta got in cause of Symm

balmy wolf
#

mastering a hero is hard as hell

minor flame
#

and Erster

balmy wolf
#

thats the difference

pearl stratus
#

Also playing Doom with Surefour as your partner has to be awkward.

minor flame
#

Shock is playing very

#

weirdly

pearl stratus
#

Because he still goes for hard flank reaper whereas most teams use him more like an offensive tank

minor flame
#

they look both confident and confused

pearl stratus
#

Spark for instance just gives their reaper a shield and runs him into the other team.

#

Ria literally shield pushes the reaper up with Sigma.

minor flame
#

Spark plays super aggro when they can

#

and it works out well

#

I mean its very efficient

pearl stratus
#

It also gives a big ol' clumped up team for Doom.

dreamy cave
#

will they close it?

minor flame
#

you build Blossom fast

#

and you force out alot of CDs

#

as long as you force out something like Fortifiy

#

youre getting alot of value

pearl stratus
#

I mean more that LAG is playing into Surefour, not into Doom.

#

Which will make your doom look worse automatically as well.

#

But BL3 is done.

minor flame
#

I might pass on BL3 for a few days or so

#

September is packed with games

#

plus FE3H new difficulty came out

rapid locust
#

I think they're playing into sure4's reaper because they know they can't rely on decay

sinful rune
#

what other games are out?

pearl stratus
#

They do it even with Hydrations

#

It's how they lost their last game too.

#

They play around S4 a lot

minor flame
#

S4 is kind of their main mvp

#

besides Hydration

rapid locust
#

yeah

sinful rune
#

he is the hersey boi

#

jersey**

#

the best jersey sellers are dafran (before he retired) pine and s4

#

xqc and seagull were big ones too beforehand

#

of course

#

OH, has pine been played yet?

rapid locust
#

i think decay is trying not to get benched

worn falcon
#

Decay is too slow compared with Sinatraa

rapid locust
#

I think that's a given for most playerd

#

players

hydration's doom is as good if not better tho

rapid locust

I agree

sinful rune

surefour is a chad

#

alright, decay is gone for sure

vagrant oracle

The shock is winning

#

Yay

balmy wolf

kings row is always the best map

vagrant oracle

Yea

Holy what-the-hangzhou.

I missed the first match.

vagrant oracle

They won and I sad

#

Iโ€™m such a Sinatraa fan lmao

"they are getting rolled!.... I mean.... Yeah, they're getting rolled..."

Lol, it sounds like they try not to say that.

who is the head coach of the LAG?

magneto? not neo?

isnt it DPEI

balmy wolf

yes

poor glads getting boomed

sinatraa on soldier LUL

mental stump
#

What's this about honest/dishonest heroes?

balmy wolf
#

double shield enables bastion to an absurd degree

uneven wren
#

sinatraa got 3 kills as soldier what is this

minor flame
#

you know how Hangzhou did a Close Roll

#

this is whats happening now

#

except its even more of a roll

sinful rune
#

ok

#

why the fuck

uneven wren
#

4-0verwatch day

sinful rune
#

is decay still in?

uneven wren
#

zzzzz

balmy flower
#

wow

#

every time it goes to player view

#

it goes to sinatraa

sinful rune
#

100% they aren't gonna make it to finals because they decided to play decay

balmy flower
#

really annoying

balmy wolf
#

glads werent gonna make cuz their tank line is weak

sinful rune
#

You lost your chance at 1 million dollars because you played decay ๐Ÿ‘

#

They literally would have beaten the shock if they had just NOT PLAYED DECAY

balmy wolf
#

lol

sinful rune
#

Poor management decisions

balmy wolf
#

if that was the case glads still lose cuz void sucks on sigma

sinful rune
#

He doesn't suck on sigma as much as decay sucks on mei and doomfist

balmy wolf
#

one player is not making glads lose

#

in general their not a top top team

#

roar has some problems of being in the wrong spot

sinful rune
#

But one player isn't making them win, because hydration not being on doom was a throw.

balmy wolf
#

glads have more problems than just not playing hrydation on doom

rapid bobcat
#

2 4-0 matches tonight, cool

sinful rune
#

doom is much more impactful than sigma. especially vs. sinatraa, the gladiators really couldn't afford to be playing decay

uneven wren
#

oh look decay is out

sinful rune
#

Yes that's good, they might win a map

balmy wolf
#

its too late

rapid locust
#

why did they pull sinatraa out?

mental stump
#

Shock's bench is deep and they always play other people when their 3-0

sinful rune
#

void on sigma isn't as bad as decay off the bench, ya know

#

their only chance is if they reverse sweep, which they might be able to do if they keep decay out

#

because hydration doom is where it's at

balmy wolf
#

control is next and liang is a map that glads havent won in 4 months

mental stump
#

Where's super though.....

balmy wolf
#

benched

mental stump
#

Figured he would have gotten more playtime after the 3-0

#

I guess it's Smurfs turn

dark eagle

Not sour at all over the Glads loss. They did good compared to last season. Like everything, learn and grow stronger. Not all teams can be Titans or Shock. Otherwise OWL would be boring AF.

balmy wolf
#

I think they need a better tank line

#

that's really about it

Void I found was alright, Roar did have his days ngl.

I love these casters

"They are going to cap with less than a minute unless spark goes afk right now"

Is this monte and doa?

on the rerun rn

#

Nvm I don't hear monte

So the top 4 regular season teams are now the final 4 left

So now if anyone bitches about competitive integrity when any one of these teams win

#

I swear to heck I'm gonna lose my heck

karmic grotto
#

Hehe

#

It will be interesting this weekend

minor flame
#

Spark vs Shock will be interesting

#

It is very difficult to tell who would win

#

Along with NYXL vs Titans

#

I gotta root for my one of my fav teams so I think

#

Spark 4-3

#

Titans 4-2

earnest bay
#

Nah nyxl ez 4-0 and shock ez 4-0 aswell

karmic grotto
#

Lmao no

#

Not in a thousand years

But it would be fun if it happened

Iโ€™m so nervous about todayโ€™s game

I really want nyxl to make it

balmy wolf

Have you guys seen the toronto jerseys?

#

They look pretty badass

karmic grotto
#

Honestly, for me because nyxl beat ATL I am rooting for Titans, but on the other hand I want nyxl to go the finals

#

LMFAO I GO TO THE TWITCH PAGE to watch the vod withoutspoilers and the friggin autoplay rerun's FIRST LINE was from the commentatorys: wow that was a crazy upset win for the X vs the X

before I could even load into the video page ๐Ÿ˜ฆ they had to throw that in

@tropic coyote 34 hours of OWL

Does Rewatch give tokens

limber pine
#

no

tawny sigil
#

what a stomp we had... not even close

#

not how i expected the loser bracket to go

karmic grotto
#

It happens

#

it means you were a top 5

#

6*

#

but not a top 4

balmy wolf
#

you didn't expect san fran to 4-0 the gladiators?

feral wing
#

i find it funny how the top 4 teams in the overall end of season standings are the top 4 in the playoffs lol, not only this, but almost all of the teams in the post-season have been eliminated in order. The only one that didn't get eliminated in order was Philly

balmy wolf
#

spark was a surprise

#

but shock I'd say was pretty predictable

feral wing
#

The elimination process has literally been
Chengdu - 12
Philly - 10
Shanghai - 11
Charge - 9
Seoul - 8
London - 7
Atlanta - 6
Gladiators - 5

#

Even the order of the matches that eliminated said teams match up

#

So if the trend continues then the next team out is Spark, then NYXL or Shock and then Vancouver win the playoffs

karmic grotto
#

Here's a thing

#

We don't know at this point

#

You can assume but it won't happen like that

feral wing
#

I said if the trend continues

#

i just realized something that i find sorta funny

#

and then i said it

tawny sigil
#

so you're saying the entire play off was useless and the final result will be the same order as the standings?

feral wing
#

What?

#

No wtf

#

I just pointed out that teams have been eliminated according to standings

#

and i find that funny

#

...

tawny sigil
#

which mean... it was all for naught

feral wing
#

if it does happen then i guess you could look at it that way, yes

#

i dont think vancouver will win though

#

my money is on either shock or nyxl

#

nyxl winning would make for the ultimate anime storyline

tawny sigil
#

nyxl probably winning today they've been looking solid

feral wing
#

yeah Im going
NYXL 4-3/4-2 Vancouver

#

and then
Shock 4-2 Hangzhou

karmic grotto
#

4-2 NYXL

#

Time for SBB Bastion

balmy wolf
#

SBB bastion > Haksal on doomfist

karmic grotto

fiery basalt

ยฐ^

queen drift
#

they likely wont play bastion

#

or not as much as they have been

#

Titans, Spark and Shock all have hours of footage of NYXL bastion to review

#

they didnt before, thats why they looked so good with it, teams didnt have an answer

minor flame
#

If NYXL play how they did they might give Titans the advantage

#

Titans has some good adaptation

they would face the winner of shock and spark

Theyve shown that they are a top team once again and shifted to the meta in time
