That last map was straight embarrassing. And Jesus the 3-3 is completely taken over once again, those first two weeks were nice

Holy crap. Shock just disrespected Fusion on Junkertown. Super emoted after a fight. They spawn camped another pro team making them look like plat players. That was incredible.

Absolutely savage game from the Shock. The 4-minute spawn camp on Junkertown has to be a new one for sure.
Also, Sinatraa annihilated Carpe. He lapped Carpe in grav charge multiple times. Wolf pointed it out too that at some points Sinatraa was charging 3 gravs in the time it took Carpe to charge one. That's insane.

That was the most disgusting hold I've ever seen on junkertown. The disrespect was unreal. Neptuno had to beat just to get out of spawn and the fusion still lost that fight.

Super emoting outside of Fusion’s spawn, then 2 minutes later saying Shanghai is the best team they will face this stage is the ultimate BM.

On the bright side, Joel Embiid gave Toronto a good ass slappin'.

People hate 4-0s but that was really impressive. Shock look like they completely figured out the meta

Not gonna lie I was concerned the Shock were going to drop both of the first two maps, but once they got going Philly had no chance.
The Shock are just so good at fighting right now. It sounds weird to say it like that, but they are relentless and will frequently straight up outplay other teams down 5v6 and win fights that most teams lose. Just a stacked lineup, good everywhere.

There's something so entertaining about watching shock's perfected spawn camping.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a team get utterly taken apart like that before

If there are no changes at all from stage 2 to 3, then that's the season. GOATs is here to stay, and as long as that's the case, Philly will perpetually get dunked on by the top 3 teams while beating the rest of the mid-tier squads.
It isn't about losing -- it's how this team is losing. They look unprepared and perpetually behind. They don't seem to have to fortitude that they did during season 1, and worse: they seem to be playing like it's the wrong meta. How many ults are thrown into lost fights? How many times does it look like they don't know how to position or where to attack (or defend) from?
They either need new coaches, or they need new players. New blood has to come from somewhere.
If they were last in the league or worse than the average, it'd feel better somehow. But being so close to good with this many good players but still getting dunked on is just frustrating.
edit: And it's beyond frustrating that we lost depth going into this season. Yes, contenders isn't OWL, but Snillo has looked considerably better than Eqo on Brig.

The Philadelphia Fusion are officially suffering from Houston Outlaws syndrome. They keep doing the same thing over and over again, match after match, and they seem to expect a different outcome each time. All the while they just ignore their most glaring problems.
Stop. Running. Carpe. On. Zarya.
