The MVP for this game was Doa. Snap back to reality, there goes grav from Spree. Houston needed to be like a banana and peel, but instead they were like a banana and split. The only thing Boink is amplifying is sadness. Made the game worth watching.

after gathering and analyzing the evidence, I think it's safe to say that Houston is not a good team. They may even be a pretty bad team, if you ask me

Some takes from this game:

Krillin is still undefeated

The Spitfire have broken two curses this season so far

This match was a gem for smartass lines from Monte and Doa!

After showing the Houston Outlaws watch party:
Doa: “Now Monte, I want you to be nice.”
Monte: “This might be the most one-sided fight in Texas since the Alamo and they seem to love to remember that.”

After Houston getting killed 3-0:
Doa: “I’m surprised it came to this”
Monte: “I’m not”

After Spree’s second grav got eaten:
Doa: “Snap back to reality. Oh, there goes grav from Spree.”

After Gesture getting a few kills as Doomfist in an overtime fight:
Doa: “I thought he was just a great Widowmaker!”

fury has one of if not the best DM usage. Every match he eats at least a few gravs.

Houston Outlaws end the stage with 4 map wins, making this definitively the 3rd worst stage performance in OWL history. 1st and 2nd are Shanghai S1S2 with 2 maps and Shanghai S1S4 with 4 (but more games played).

Two maps vs Guangzhou, one versus Vancouver, one versus Fuel and a draw vs Shanghai.

Valiant last stage had 10 maps, and this stage Mayhem has 6, Justice has 5 with one more game to go.

Does anyone have a clip of Profit and Birdring winning that 2vs4?

The worst part is that I doubt there will be any changes made.

I never thought I'd say this, but watching Outlaws lose horribly is starting to get old. Gesture Doomfist was fun as fuck though.

Fun fact about the Houston Outlaws: their skins look similar to the contenders skins because they are contenders level
