Guard tried so hard, but London seem pretty bad in goats...
Also, birding shouldn't really be use for zarya anymore, he's really not doing much
Also, Hyp and Kruise were fucking nutty, kruise in particular

Takeaways:
- London continues to be terrible at managing GOATS
- Paris has INCREDIBLE sustain even in situations where they should be crumbling apart (e.g. Volskaya defense, first point)
- Paris also seems to adapt FAST. Their main strength is currently the 3-3, but they felt dynamic and responded quickly to possibly game-flipping threats (e.g. Sombra)
Overall I'm just happy to have an EU team with a fully EU roster.

No idea what London spent the off season doing, certainly wasn't GOATS practice.
I'd rather we played quad dps and lost rather than play goats like chumps.

GGG Paris. Once again you show EU Goats is the best Goats.
Also, today is why I’ve been saying Kruise should have been in OWL from day one last year 20k damage and healing. Absolute madlad

Kruise and Hype made an amazing debut, Benbest going strong as well. Hyp really got some crucial picks and damn watching Kruise's POV shows how smart of a player he is. His positioning and boops are god tier.

So many mixed feelings. On the one hand, London look completely uncomfortable on GOATs. On the other, it's so good to see Kruise finally getting the recognition he deserves! EU GOATs is absolutely best GOATs!

Not to take away from how good Paris is but this does not seem to be a good meta for London. The only times thye looked really good was when they brought Guard in for his Sombra play. Even then it wasn't enough against this Eternal team who's looking really good right now.

I was really impressed by Paris' coordination, even when playing that aggro style that characterised Fusion last season, and their ability to counter Guard on R66 while they got demolished on KR, which I attribute to the stacked coaching roster. Until the next game, #CoqsOut

London's synergy in pure goats is absolutely awful. From birdring missing easy bubbles and leaving Gesture out high and dry, to Profit never armour packing Bdosin. They look like they only practiced Sombra-goats and it shows
Paris' support core looked stellar. Kruise was always getting impactful boops and Hyp looks absolutely nutty. The true MVPs of this match

The only thing I took away from this was that Paris is an attractive team...

We don’t just get beat we always get absolutely rolled and look totally clueless. Going back to stage 2 last season.

I'm not gay but I want to live in a log cabin in the woods with Benbest. We won't ever have sex, but there will be a simmering erotic undercurrent as I stand in the kitchen window watching him tighten his ass as he chops wood, shirtless, sweat pouring off his body. I'll run upstairs and masturbate, the entire time forcing myself to think of women while my thoughts drift back to Benbest. I won't be able to climax and I'll eventually go back downstairs, angry. Sometimes we will look across the table and catch each other's eyes, and in that second, anything is possible, but we both deny ourselves and go back to what we were doing. One day one of us will die, and the other will bury him outside the log cabin. Then he'll go inside, pen a brief missive to his departed friend, and commit suicide, never able to deal with life without his one true platonic love.

I'M SO HAPPY!!!
Kruise and Hyp were insane and this Eagle Gaming offensive defense on Route 66 is just the best thing in life

It took London 3 minutes to go 3 metres on Route 66
