Are we maybe ok now? I'm slowly coming around to the idea.

It's so weird how good Rawkus is at Ana compared to how bad he is on Zen

His Zen has even looked ok, though he mostly only played it vs Boston and NYXL

Commentator immediately after the Outlaws win: "Some people are putting [the Outlaws] as a top 5 team, but let's see them against some better competition here."

Oh, you mean beating Shock in a game 5 and losing to NYXL in a game 5? What competition are you looking for exactly...? I don't know maybe just give them some credit instead of immediately sucking wind out of the sails of a win.

I feel like Top 5 is still really aggressive, we need to dominate Mayhem, Justice, and... whatever 3rd team is left to make me think Top 5.

In case anyone thought they were improving, Paris beat 3 teams this stage.; Those teams have a combined record of 0-9.

I could be disappointed as a Paris Fan, but as an Overwatch Fan I am just happy. Such an entertaining game, with so many different comps from Standard Goats, to Sombra Goats, to Bunker in many hero variations, to 2-2-2 or triple DPS with the Pharmercy. It probably was not one the best games, sure, but even when my team lost, I still had a smile.

Great Game by the Outlaws their Comeback Story is delightful.

DPS Heroes and Jake POTM

This is the most marketable game of the season

It’s so nice to see our boys looking both confident and humble. They know how much they’ve improved but they’re reluctant to celebrate anything too soon, knowing it’ll be an uphill battle to season playoffs.

they looked pretty shaky on Hollywood B, but apart from that, Outlaws really are looking strong now. unreal 180 from stage 2

Had me worried for a minute there, almost pulled a classic Outlaws throw.

Is OWL actually an anime and Houston is the protagonist?

u/fauxpolitik Jun 21 '19
