What was that. -- SF Shock vs Washington Justice Kickoff Clash Playoffs Review

[@emz_ow]

Yo custa ! Just wanted to say I hope you do more casting in the future. It was really cool having a GM/ex pro player analyzing the games in real time.

[@funkenstein420]

Yes! Always salient, never rambling... keep it up, Custa!

[@lukraniom8731]

Very true. Jake was an excellent analyst back in 2020

[@ilariafalanga]

I come here to watch custa mold at the Washington justice debacle

[@xdoom2allx714]

I wanna bring up how custa was talking about the flexibility for the outlaws like remember Danteh might be there best or tracer and genji and u just stuck him on your tank while playing pelican and merit full time, they need him playing dps for them to succeed

[@teaadvice4996]

For*

[@igdeez9720]

they need him on the bench and need to sign an actual tank

[@firefliesfirefly5762]

almost every hero danteh is good at, pelican is better at. maybe not the trracer but the probably prefer pelicans flexbility and will put him in anywa over danteh. they dont need him playing dps when they have better players at all of his heros almost.

[@silkthread7248]

Danteh is only better at Sombra and Tracer. Pelican is better at the rest.

[@CrazeeAdam]

Well I think Pelican is very good on Tracer too. I think they need to Pelican + Danteh in like a Tracer + Echo meta for sure or like Tracer + Sombra (if she gets any buffs etc.) they would be probably one of the best duos as well. Otherwise I think Merit and Pelican are a really good duo to have out there. Very balanced in what they play.

[@TheNerd]

Everyone: I can get a pick to open the fight. Proper: I can kill the entire opposition properly.

[@rngsmiles3979]

I really hope they release a Proper Pov. His tracer movement is so clean.

[@Seamalicous]

On the replay viewer thing. Initially I was all on your train of ‘if it’s not there for everyone then I shouldn’t stream it. But at this point, we have the league on life support and your reviews are a big part of that. If the replay viewer isn’t ready as a public product there is nothing unethical or whatever about you streaming it

[@CrazeeAdam]

Anyone who says Piggy is a bad tank player is on something hard. Piggy is an amazing Sigma and Dva, Dva is not meta right now, even though he's arguably the only one to make it look clean this year. His Zarya is also pretty solid, the problem was they weren't integrating him soon enough in the roster IMO. They need to try to integrate him a lot sooner than they did (which was like week 3 or something?). I almost guarantee Outlaws come back and Piggy looks a lot better and they do in fact sign someone else mid season to help with main tank duties. I would also be surprised if Shock didn't sign someone else, because having only 1 real tank player is so much pressure for that one tank player to be amazing at all tanks like Shock and Outlaws want. P.S. Piggy looked great on Rein v Toronto, and his neutral game was actually good against London, but his shatter game was not great against London..those are 2 opposite things, like Piggy was winning in the fights where Shatters were not a thing against Hadi.

[@tqkf8878]

Honestly one thing I noticed about ow2 is that main supports don’t go as unnoticed as they usually do. Like they make a ton of micro plays that are much more noticeable

[@libertyprime9307]

1. we don't really know, it's been only Lucio or Brig so far 2. there's 1 less player. Kinda goes without saying that each player is more impactful.

[@saveacoweatapanda4077]

Awesome review yet again! What were you on about with Carpe Role Stars in 2020?? The guy was cracked on Ashe getting first picks most of the teamfights, he was amazing :o

[@CrazeeAdam]

And then after this....Decay decides he doesn't want to play at all....who could've seen it coming. I also saw a comment in chat that said "that seems to be a normal thing OW players do.." no...it's not in fact. Even on the 0-40 Dragons team their players still played outside of Undead who made stupid mistakes. Crimzo and Doha still played on Fuel when they were bad and we know they are great players. Decay is a drama queen, and I wouldn't want him on my team, no matter how good he is. "Do you think we'll have another Decay Fuel problem?" Do people not remember there was a Decay-Washington problem last year? He disappeared last year for multiple important matches that the Justice could have used him for =/ (everyone who has watched more than 1 year of OWL)

[@pyrosaurus3836]

From what Avrl said on TCP Reiner is NOT as flexible as people think, he can play all the main tanks, why is that the criteria for flexible, the second off-tanks become meta he is going to be benched for space

[@warren9313]

Opener has really surprised me on lucio, he's been pretty decent all things considered

[@orenot]

You gotta get the replay viewer! Goood vid as always

[@caedmonisaacson8506]

I really wonder how much of this is the Washington coaching and how much is decay’s mental being boomed.

[@midoripeco]

How many teams are gonna be able to qualify for each region for mid-season madness?

[@davidx5947]

justice testing if they can get away with benching decay for assassin lmao

[@Jon-iv6mx]

Keep up the good work!

[@TheNerd]

Is this "The Real Custa"?, his special move honestly is one of the best on youtube and so he comes equipped with these keystrokes and only happens about 1 or 2 times to actually execute per video so it comes really in handy specially when you position on highground or spawn! 😁

[@alexhenczel2097]

wait custa said players have been doing reviewers using the replay viewer? whos been doing it?

[@joshuazhong2520]

No but really, what was it?

[@joshuavanovereem5120]

Here to say hi to twitch chat and pay my respects to all the busted brackets on game 1 of the tournament

[@will6971]

Custa in a past video ranked Lucio flex supports and violet is not doing as well as Lastro

[@brandocommando7729]

Decay is my all favorite OW league player. If only he was on better teams

[@8Kwings22]

Mag on doomfist was pain lmfao

[@tylerharris7400]

Let’s goooo!

[@SleepyMoonLunar]

So if assassin and happy play will Washington go upwards? Also props to krillin showing how good he is

[@rinktheredlink9317]

Lmaoooo I know he didn't wanna watch this

[@dirtmaster3000]

[@markittystuff]

I love the Chiyo shout cause looking at the stats not only was Chiyo insane but Fielder was also. I think the biggest thing going for Dallas is their support line and if you seen their final blows compared to everyone else it isn't even close. It's crazy. Also yeah the Justice coaches got to go cause these players are too good to be not performing up to their past and it doesn't seem like it's the player's faults but the coaches above them. We've all seen these players individually shine so something is happening over there and for Decay to ride the bench again validates that. I hope if for whatever reason the coaches don't go that the players find different teams cause they're too good not to sign. Imagine MAG on Houston or Assassin on Toronto and how much they'd bring to the table. I seriously hope though that Justice let's go of the coaches. They've had too many chances to make something happen and didn't.

[@jdsranithinc]

Time For Justice to pick up KDG

Yaki beats decay on every single hero except maybe tracer, reaper and flickscan, ur off the goop. And that’s if he even decides to play flickscan… and if he doesn’t vanish all game. Yaki is better on genji, Pharah, echo, mei and sombra. Yaki is a great hitscan, decay doesn’t even wanna play it anymore. Given decays inconsistency, even IF he does play, there is a decent chance he will still vanish all game. Only hero Decay has a consistent argument for is tracer… and I honestly think Yaki is more mechanical, has more APM and on average is better. Oh I forgot decays reaper I guess.

[@dirtyjesus9293]

Still think hanbin mvp of this tournament. He carried every game.

[@trafridrod8706]

NA has consistently been better than APAC, thinking otherwise is ludicrous. NA has more bad teams, but it has more teams in general. NA has had more overall tournament finishes, the NA teams vastly outnumber APAC teams for championships as well. I'm not sure where the strangely found bias towards APAC comes from.

[@CrazeeAdam]

I think the only consistently great teams in APAC are Spark and Seoul. Dragons have been good, but shakey, for obvious reasons, they've had some tough things happening in their season and off season both, but they will probably look better in later stages. Everyone else is either incredibly shakey, and inconsistent, or both combined. Granted I think the lower teams in APAC are far better than the lower teams in NA.

[@dirtyjesus9293]

If justice go 6-0 they go 0-2 in tourney for sure

[@12boyon]

"Shock need super back" yeah that worked out well for them last season lol

[@baegle527]

timestamps!
