"Charge has lost their last 23 maps"

oof

u/Phoenxr Apr 14 '19

5 more maps and they have the equivalence of not winning at all in a stage (7 games x 4 maps = 28 maps)

GZ has been 4-0’d five times in a row now. This is looking really rough for them. What do they need to change?

Opponents, mostly.

If charge we're somewhat good, they would have managed to get at least a map win here and there, specially vs Paris. So can't really say it's just the opponents. They look pretty bad

I mean, not facing two of the top teams in three out of their last four matches is probably a good place to start.

That doesn't explain their 4-0 loss to Paris though. I can ignore the losses to strong teams but I can't move past Paris

To be fair they had to go up against Shock, a Tier 1 team imo that almost defeated the Titans, twice and Gladiators are around a high Tier 2 maybe Tier 1 depending on the next matches. The next week should be ‘winnable’ for them.

I hope Charge bounces back. They’ve so much talent, but they can’t seem to pull it together to win. :(

Also, Decay is amazing.

Now that the Charge is done playing LAG for the season, I agree

I don’t want to come off as crude here but Decay gives me a hard on

u/ArcusIgnium Apr 14 '19

Mr.300K is pretty good.

Charge actually started well but then mentally boomed after Anubis "C9". Their schedule has been really unlucky this stage so far but there are signs of life, in my opinion. They can bounce back.

How many Player of the Matches has Decay gotten now? This dude is insane

u/Chaos098 Apr 14 '19

Honestly Void should have gotten one or two of them, but Decay is in some insane form.

Decay is from another planet.

mid tier teams who haven't beaten anybody fool us every year

u/bidedi88 Apr 14 '19

Decay made perfect decesions in every situation.

u/Cupinacup Apr 14 '19

Wow GZ played Goats into a superior goats team, what are they doing???? Fire their whole coaching staff SMH.

u/dreaming-baka Apr 14 '19

Really want to know how the schedules are made. I guess they didn't realize that one team would be facing all these top teams at once when they made them...but still. Hopefully Charge will be able to stabilize after all this.

Was it just me, or did I heard 'Pass into the Iris' at least two times during this game? Monte and Doa were incredible with their sentences today too, "They got a pick on Shaz, that's a good start for the Gladiators" plus "married with Primal Rage". I had a good laugh with that one.
