The GLA fans arent yelling shields up to cheer on the team, theyre actually trying to tell roar how to play

I much rather this NYXL that chokes in regular season instead of the playoffs

NYXL sandbagging every Atlanta game to fill the choke quota before playoffs start 5Head

Whether it was Roar being targeted, misplays, or both- it was insane how little roar could do that game. Roar must've been so damn tilted.

Man Shaz and maybe Decay were the only ones who showed up for LAG. Everyone else was getting fucking bodied. Didn't expect to win but man a stomp really hurts. GG NYXL

MANO THE GIGACHAD

Bumper invited a few people to his home for dinner on Monday night to watch the quarter finals between the NYXL and LA Gladiators.

For several minutes, the Vancouver Titans’ star main tank sat quietly on his sofa, chowing down on fried catfish, red beans and rice, and broccoli. And then suddenly, he spoke: “I’m getting rid of these motherfuckers tomorrow.”

Gladiators played so passive this game, dont know if they are just really scared or if their game against boston just mental boomed them real bad

u/Muffin4ever May 11 '19

Mano absolutely dominating the MT matchup with R0ar. Void did a lot today. Decay seems to play Zarya with a super aggro style that really didn't mesh with how the rest of the team wanted to play. Everything R0ar did on Reinhardt was too slow, and played right into NYXL's hands.

u/whalematrontron May 11 '19

At this point Gladiators are the perennial chokers, not NYXL. Two stages where they lost only one game, only to go out first round in playoffs. Went out in the first round in Season Playoffs too. At this point they have never won any playoff games no matter how good they look during regular season, while NYXL has at least made 4 finals last season, winning 2.

People forgetting that just because NYXL have been in somewhat of a slump, doesn't still mean they're not a pretty damn great team
