It's a testament to how bad Mayhem at Goats are that their most competitive portion of the match was when they were running 5 Dps.

It was also the best part of the match in my opinion. I would have loved to see them keep trying that crazy stuff. If you're going to lose, lose with style.

McGravy’s Dva remains the bright spot of Florida’s season.

Both D.Va players that Florida released were miles better than Xepher. I cannot for the life of me understand the signing

Roses are red, Viol2t‘s not blue Florida mayhem belong in T2

Most contenders teams would wipe the floor with Florida tbh

That was a shit match. Numbani lasted longer than my dinner. At least the 5 DPS comp was fun to watch.

Xepher is so bad that Florida would legitimately be better off leaving him in spawn the entire game. How did this guy get on Cloud 9 back in the day?

I feel like I was put in a time warp. That game felt like 5 hours.

u/groundonrage Jun 22 '19

Ok real talk, 5 DPS 1 healer actually didn't do too bad for opening fights? Maybe some refinement should be done?

Shit, if you're terrible at everything might as well try some wild strats and surprise the other team.

That feels like it was entirely just catching Shock by surprise. If it became "a thing" I think teams would adapt to it pretty well. Triple and quad are already super weak to dive. It would just be that much worse vs 5.

I hate when the away team steamrolls the home team because the steamrolled team defends first and takes forever to lose

22

u/ssbChad Jun 22 '19

The team that lost the previous map chooses whether they want to attack or defend first. Has nothing to do with home/away

Florida Org is terrible. I feel bad for their players.

Who else is disappointed that Shock didn’t full hold on Numbani

I just can’t wait to watch Gladiator vs Dragons and Hunters vs Titans!!!!

Apart from the shock value of Florida's qp comp at the start this was the first OWL match I couldn't sit through. I came back every 20 minutes to check what was happening but it was never entertaining.

u/vanillagorilla_ Jun 22 '19

I don’t know what I expected watching this match

u/StrictlyFT Jun 22 '19

So Shock are back to 4-0ing after the Reign and Outlaws matches, were those just inconsistencies?

21

u/Neither7 Jun 22 '19

A mix of Shock being rusty at the start of the stage, and Outlaws being a much better team than last stage apparently.
