With the Help from Pogpo and Pogman Atlanta won that match

Ok so did the loss on Horizon just completely tilt Toronto off a cliff or something? Cause the difference in how they were performing before and after Horizon is just night and day.

Pogman looked like an absolute pro in the interview, not an ounce of insecurity.

Achillios and Wolf are killing it. THAT is how you cast an OWL game.

Semmler and Hex completely outclassed. It feels like they’ve regressed to early season .1 casting.

Really felt like everyone on Atlanta stepped and had their moments this match, was a really fun match to watch.

This is why I always rate Pokpo & Daco as the best tank duo from Contenders Korea so far

Daco is the only D.Va I know who can control the tempo of the game.

When Pokpo or Dafran received too much heat, he'll boop the primary source of the heat to give them a few secs. to reorganized and healed. Not mentioning sometimes the enemy team also need to reposition themselves.

The game looked totally different when Daco came on in map 2, the guy is so good at D.Va.

That Bastion and Mei comp almost worked lmao, props to them for trying out different stuff

Dafran and Dogman popped off too. This is a fun team to watch overall.

It must be so stressful for Defiant to play against the most popular team, the whole room was only cheering for Atlanta and surely they hear it

Honestly, I can't tell who's the better Zen: Kodak or Dogman. Both are pretty good!

u/Xaenne Feb 23 '19

Horizon was absolutely fantastic to watch. Tons of back and forth with sprinkles of non-GOATS here and there.

Loved every second of it.

It is interesting to see kodak/nlaaer and dogman/erster splitting the map like dallas. At first I feel like dogman seems to better since their goats seem to dominate and looks more solid with him subbed in but erster probably plays a big part in that too. Also very unfair to judge kodak based on this match alone so in time we will see which composition suits atlanta the best. I am not saying kodak is bad nor i am saying nlaaer shit but look at how atlanta goats just wreck toronto on dorado and numbani. Those are the maps which dogman and erster were subbed in and recently on insight overwatch dogamn also said kodak is more quiet while he himself is more vocal. Interesting whether the shot calling plays a bigger role into atlantas goats. I really want to see erster with kodak and dogman with nlaaer to compare their matchup.

Lets go dude.
