[@blaynegreiner9365]

I know a lot of people are doubting Glads after this weekend but they have a lot of new pieces to fit together. I think people unfairly assumed that they would get them to fit immediately. If they can utilize Moth properly with this lineup and get their shit together, they are going to be really scary. I really want Glads to win the championships for Moth to get that third win. I think he keeps getting slighted for MVP just because he is a main healer.

[@aaronseals1367]

At 1:27:00, Plat Chat talks about how Striker is crying over a Week 1 loss. I'll let this forum post in a thread meant for live commentary for Outlaws vs. Shock answer the question "Why the heck was Striker crying?": "(The tears are) Not unsportmanslike, but that of a person who’s life is about Overwatch. Remember Korea culture is far more ingrained in Esports and these guys are devestated when they lose a tight match like this. It is moments like this that we all live for, and I mean that in a very positive way. Striker will come back stronger." - WyomingMyst, Blizzard Forum MVP

I expected Toranto and Florida to do as well as they did but HUSTON BLEW MY MIND IM SO PROUD. I wasnt a big danteh fan but boy did they change that I'm messing with them some. I mean I was a happy simp already but the rookies are nutty and Danteh is making me proud.

[@carlfletcherjunior9076]

Yea I already knew about Chengdu, I watch Shanghai very closely and the first game they had made them look so shakey

[@frostphoenix8256]

Ftr, the accidental mccree copy was Danteh. Super's shield was blocking los. Incidentally, without that mishap allowing the snowball we might be talking about a 3-0 game now.

[@catmoonkenobi]

Avast, I'm here for it. No one's rankings of the Reign made any sense whatsoever. They hardly upgraded on last year. Kai can't carry a mediocre tank/support line. They should have gone with a different carrier like T-MOBILE AMERICA'S LARGEST 5G NETWORK FOR UNINTERRUPTED FAST CONNECTION YOU CAN RELY ON.

[@zxt327]

It's interesting to see how the player rankings system develops, but I don't think it will really be valuable to compare player skill for a long time. It will probably be quite difficult to separate team performance from player skill, which will be important if they want to rank 'players'. Players on top teams should end up higher on the rankings as top teams tend to have better players, however, the current system seems to heavily underrate good/great players on bad teams. To truly rank player skill, value, impact, etc. they would have to somehow account for how the rest of the team is influencing each player's statistics.

Gladiators is supposed to be this hyper agro team. But I feel as if Glads are trying to sprint before they can walk. In my opinion, I think they need to learn how to play slow before they can play at the tempo they desire.

[@hirammaxim6400]

The coaching is soooo bad

[@ScorchHellfire]

1:34:53 No. That was Danteh. Super cut off his los with the shield at the last second and the auto-targetting went to the McCree next to him. That was one of those instances that stopped Houston from beating Shock sooner. It really could've been a 3-0.

[@MattHancho]

No one talks about it but Glister on the tracer was awful. It took him like 3 minutes to get a pulse bomb.

[@RoomateNSNL]

This show makes my week. Helps me get through work. Keep up the great shows!

[@markmaison4436]

I thought that Houston had a chance to win because I expected Shock to put their effort into prepping for the Gladiators because you don’t want to start back to back seasons with a loss to LA but the Shock do drop an occasional march and then come back and just pound, so I figured there was a chance this was going to be that match

[@MrTenInHell]

Losing Moth was the biggest mistake Shock did. He is the best main support player in the league, he somehow manages to the right thing every single time, and his vocalization probably won them a lot of games.

[@lucinathegreat1248]

That was not Na1st that copied mccree on Anubis. That was Danteh.

[@Raptor99d]

Although Pelican's tracer is lacking I think he is one of the best Mei players in the league so far. His walls are so well placed they almost act as peel for both the backline and the tanks whilst allowing for the rest of the team to rotate. I think most of the teamfights/pushes that Atlanta won with Mei were because of Pelican's wall usage.

[@justinoliveira3063]

I do actually see a world where Dallas beats Washington like they beat the Glads. I think every map will be so disgustingly close, basically coming down to 1-2 team fights. I think Dallas really has nothing to lose going into these games because they’re down a hitscan player and I think a lot of the top tier teams think they can just steamroll them with individual skill. I think that’s why the Glads lost. If the Justice take the game seriously and realize that the game could easily slip away from them if they get too cocky, I think they’ll take the series. Fearless is a freak though, so I think they could easily give Washington a run for their money.

there's a clip from super watching the glads play vs dallas on anubis, and he notices Space gets staggered a bit on Dva twice... and instead of dying as mini Dva or earning a re-mech, he goes into spawn and swaps to get his mech back. but both times, he had self-destruct ult, that he then loses by swapping to get mech back. how much of an error is that? was the faster re-mech worth it, or did Space maybe overlook his ult charge, and wouldve kept it, if he realized?

Reading through the post match thread about Atlanta vs Mayhem was the highlight of my week. Atlanta fans are all just reaper and genji one tricks who like Atlanta because they liked cool dudes (assholes) like Dafran in season one want their OWL team to act like a low tier frat, and every year they get hyped up for some new DPS players forgetting that their team is gonna be shit for another year if all their players have massive egos an 0 teamplay. Mayhem connoisseurs are the exact opposite, they recognize good, slept on players who work hard and play well, and they don't eat up scrimbux like a squirrel when it gets into a birdfeeder. Nothing brings more joy to my heart than watching Atlanta fans OD on copium trying to deny that their team of douchebags is gonna be a gatekeeper for another year.
