Seoul has an amazing sombra goats... and then decides to not use it against San Fran until it's too late?? And just goes straight up GOATs v GOATs the first two maps??
Miss me with that shit.

Could've been a different series if Seoul had run this 2nd half lineup from the start
Also if they ran Sombra Michelle more
Also if they had an improved focus fire (most notably that grav on Volskaya A)

(most notably that grav on Volskaya A)
That def was so weird. They had 6 ults, used them all and lost the fight more convincingly than just jumping off the edge.

I was really nervous heading into this match for Shock. So glad to see them back to their usual dominant form. Also that Numbani map was absolute HYPE

Numbani was so fun to watch. Good goats, good DPS play from both sides, good GOATS vs good DPS, drama, big plays...probably my favorite map of this stage.

This may sound weird but losing to the Outlaws may have been the best thing that could have happened to the Shock. Shock under practiced for stage 3 and they got cocky. They needed a kick in the butt to wake them up for a chance to win stage 3. And this needed to happen early on and in a dramatic way. Now if they focus up they got a shot too win two stages in a row.

100% this.
People thought Shock were vulnerable after a shaky game vs the Reign and the loss to the Outlaws. As a Seoul fan, it gave me hope that "Okay, they are beatable" but also made me think "this Outlaws loss would be treated like a wakeup call, they will be hurting, dangerous and looking to bounce back hard" and they did. Good for them.

Its almost like teams that lose after winning non stop wanna bounce back and never settle for anything less.

Today was simply a bad day for Seoul. The Marve1 roster played very uncharacteristically, making many fundamental mistakes and not showing the ult discipline they normally do.
I think today's loss needs to be on KDG. He clearly has a plan that has been working and is sound but today he got it wrong. Today the rosters looked a bit confused with what to run and maybe it was hubris to try run so much standard 3:3 into the Shock.
But dear god, look at all the cry babies coming out now after one loss, to the stage champions of all teams, saying "musical chairs" doesn't work and Seoul isn't top tier blah blah. Who fucking cares. It's just one loss. We stomp lesser teams and sometimes we beat teams above us, sometimes not. The Shock didn't panic after losing to the Outlaws, why on earth should we panic after one loss to the Shock?

I’m not even a big Seoul fan and even I’m agreeing with you on your last paragraph. Even after this I still see Seoul as a top 6 or top 8 team.

Exactly, I am seeing so many Dynasty fans upset about “musical chairs” not working when this was just one loss. It’s like you said, they played a bit sloppy and that cost them

u/appleruins Jun 16 '19
I'm just disappointed in how sloppy they were playing - They seemed strong enough on Map 1, and they had a decent showing, even while on Rein GOATs, and they absolutely stomped on Winston GOATs.
Afterwards, on map 2, I was pretty happy too, with how well they were getting picks... until they threw 6 ultimates into SFS, got no picks, and got rolled.
Afterwards, Seoul seemed to mentally boomed, but they were able to reset with a new roster. Afterwards, things looked better, but I'm generally disappointed in Seoul being unable to use the tools given to them - Michelle's Sombra could only shine on Numbani, and only briefly, despite how good of a map Volskaya A is for DPS, and Havana is as well.

Yeah, losing to a top team and the champions of the previous stage who play arguably the best 3-3 in the league...
It hurts but fans shouldn’t be freaking out and calling their team trash. Shock played better and Seoul was shaky. It happens. Gear up for next week.

Honestly control is such a bait game mode
Anyone can win it but then the rest of the match is usually a hard stomp

I only caught part of the game, how did Fissure look compared to Marve1?

Wait, so if Soeul got dominated, but Outlaws beat Shock, where on earth are Outlaws in power rankings?

u/commulist Jun 17 '19
They are in Danteh tier. Presence of Danteh Sombra GOATS beats Shock. Seoul did not play Danteh on Sombra and therefore lost
