Against wj on their first map?, i remember thinking “he got his mojo back!!” I was so happy seeing him clutch so early on the season.

[@sEaNoYeAh]

One of the biggest throws in League history by Justice there. Sado has switched to ball to race back to point, so Justice starts with shield advantage and briefly 6v5, but they let Fusion flip for free, and then contest the point one by one versus a Widowmaker. Terrible decision making.

[@Frozenkura1]

I agree with reinforce for Rascal being underrated but Hanbin is actually being robbed by the entire league

[@LauraLoo77]

Yup. The entire goddamn league, for every single award, he is robbed for. Even in Plat Chat! Though it's obvious why, Sideshow seems to hate him for some reason, and I guess it's spreading to everyone else.

[@edwardeberle-sinatra6525]

I would disagree on this, just because of the fact that off tank is a more narrowly defined role, and the competition is tighter. Rascal’s flexibility, learning ability and versatility is underrated, for sure, but Hanbin has to measure up to off tanks with the same hero pools, so that factor that Rascal benefits from doesn’t help here. And in a pure skill and impact comparison, Void, Choi and Fury clearly surpass him. In fact, I’d put Hanbin at the same level as Gargoyle and Hotba, both great players who don’t really show up all that much while still being assets to the team, and slightly behind Crong, who shows up more than those three but less than the top 3. Hanbin deserves recognition to be sure, but there is a waiting list.

That's such a bomb idea, I hope they read the comments and do a follow-up episode. There's probably a whole bunch of ideas like that you can run with. Duel of the year, etc. Franchise twitter post of the year.

[@SharpDressedGaming]

I can join Bren on the vote for Smurf on Clutch Player of the Year. There was a number of times that Shock should have lost a fight then suddenly Smurf starts lighting up the kill feed. Though I think Choy has a big part in that as well supporting him so I think Choy would deserve it more Also Funny Play, Chipsa punching off the map

[@aidanison8923]

i agree, but i think striker and viol2t were even more clutch, striker especially at the second half of the season. Like against Philly and justice in their last two games shock would have lost those games for sure without all of shock being extremely cluch

[@zak9463]

There are fleta deadlifts, now there should also be a "carpe clutches" stat haha

[@isaacrecio4093]

[@asaowens2509]

For clutch player of the year I think Fielder would’ve been a good pick/mention off the basis of him coming in right when Paris needed him and competing at such crazy times in Korea for them as they won a tournament and he had an insane impact, enough to garner a nickname despite his late entry into the league. Put some respect on the Ping King y’all

[@xJigglyTitanx]

I usually skip the advertisements in my podcasts, but I ALWAYS listen to Bren's crazy story about how T-Mobile is the fastest 5G network in America. The only other ad reads that I listen to are from Bill Burr. That's great company to keep, Bren!

[@Hawrasaur]

Bit of a throwback for my 3rd place play of the year. Dallas Fuel homestand, dallas v shock, Oasis (City Centre). Striker getting the nano on mccree in a 4v6 scenario, one tapping Decay and turning the team fight on his back with architects nano.

[@iron_Will]

I'm so glad I waited to link a clip. Jake absolutely screeching "THREE! _THREE_ EARTHSHATTERS!!!" was gold.

[@CloverFour]

I think what makes someone clutch in this specific game (because OT has context tied to it) is final blows while disadvantaged after losing a teammate first in a team fight, 3+ final blows in a team fight (clutch since they killed half of the enemy team), and big moments as a bonus especially in playoff games.

[@Archivist]

You could make a strong argument for Yaki as Clutch Player of the Year. The amount of times he put the Mayhem on his back and turned unwinnable fights was nuts.

[@maryelias6052]

There is the goats problem in S2 we pretty much forgot what DPS was so alot of mega good players who got signed coming into season 2 or continuing from S1 we never saw them on there actual role so we perceive it as a insane improvement when in reality they have improved a little or stayed steady

I cannot believe it. I can NOT fucking believe it. I simply REFUSE to believe the absolute imcompetent, negligence, of actually not, for ANY of these categories whatsoever, not voting for FUCKING Rascal. This guy doesn't get props by anyone, on no one's social media radar whatsoever. Everyone's talking about like "oh Smurf, ya know, Smurf he's-- poor Smurf!" think about Rascal! He literally came into the league at the start of the year, was the BEST Mei. He revolutionized the way you play Echo, and set the guidelines for everyone else in the league for MONTHS! Or pretty much like half the season! And then he comes into the Countdown Cup and plays the Genji, that actually turns the San Francisco Shock around and they win the series against the Philadelphia Fusion! How is NO ONE, on this PLANET talking about Rascal as one of the most underrated players of the year! It's absolutely... HURTING MY SOUL!

[@schoeii]

Carpe switch to window on Nepal with 5 seconds to go, is definitely one of the most insane plays of the year imo at the Washington honest and with the crowed going crazy, one of the best plays of the year.

[@rockbandplayit6018]

Who r u?

[@CloverFour]

I think clutch is also about the amount of final blows a players gets, lets say 3 or more, because they statistically killed half the team. Something that might not get mentioned as well is being clutch by getting a final blow to win a teamfight off of that. The caveat, however, would have to be hero specific because or ability specific since widow has to get a headshot, but Winston diving on a Zen with his team to get a kill shouldn't count. Though Reinhardt would not get "clutch credit" if he swung his hammer to kill someone, rather he is credited when he gets a final blow if he pinned a squishy. Confusing, but if the OWL stat team could program these specifics in some sort of logic gate, then its all on the computer.

[@N1yaw]

Bren's votes are just for bringing some fun into the mix (love it), but Sideshow telling people to vote because of idiots is so... legit

[@phoney4258]

For my favourite play of this season, I would go with the Carpe 3k pop off as Widowmaker on Nepal Sanctum against the Washington Justice at the beginning of the season. One of the reasons why this was the case is because that moment was my first seeing Carpe pop off in a live game since I started watching during the Stage 1 Finals of Season 2. Witnessing what Carpe was capable of on hitscan at the beginning of the season, especially with the homestand crowd, made me so hyped for Fusion and what they could bring to the table for this season.

[@LadyEmaSkye]

One of my favorite plays was week1, Cloudy’s shatter against Titans on Nepal Shrine. Just like johnny’s dreamer play I just think it was a reaally creative shatter, and went a long way to demonstrate how much of a good player cloudy actually is.

[@ElementalLeaf]

For play of the year, besides the obvious top 2, one of the players (and I honestly cant remember which one, was playing ECHO and duplicated a Rein and then got like THREE shatters out. It was a regular season match, not a lot of stakes to it, but it was just insane to see.

[@TV-vz7rf]

One play that NOBODY talks about in the list of best plays of the year (probably because it’s long and comes from a worse team) was NotE on Numbani against the shock where he cancelled Choiyhobin’s flux and then ate rascal’s blizzard within a minute and kept his team in a fight where they were down players. He was blocking cooldowns and canceling ults left and right, and I thought it was the best minute that any tank played this year. The only bad thing about it was that he didn’t get any kills so it wasn’t too flashy. I remember been and josh casting it and at the end of the fight they just start shouting “NOOOOOOTE! HE ATE THE BLIZZARD”
