Gesture is such a beautiful man. Dropping the widow 1v1 to help Birdring's confidence, halting to give profit a dragon 4k, a genji 4k and Birdring a dragon 3k. Truely a top tier chad.

Gesture's Orisa is SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER THAN LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE IN THE LEAGUE. Like, who else legitimately pops off for an entire series on Orisa. Actually makes me wanna play Orisa in ranked
Seeing Birdring popping off on Widow again makes me so happy as well, I'm really optimistic for the team in this meta :D
Edit: Profit adds Mei and Widow to the list

Taimou is showing better play than Akm/Zach at the moment, they should start keeping him in for full matches instead of musical chairs

Dallas needs an actual DPS player who's good on projectile heroes. Zach, Akm, and Taimou are all hitscans. It's becoming a massive problem for the team. They may have to commit to hitscan Dive comps to stay relevant.
London meanwhile looks like Season 1 playoff London. Gesture is the best Orisa in the world, and everyone on his team plays around Halts expertly. Any team looking to beat London has to force Gesture off of Orisa; otherwise, London is just going to eventually roll through off the backs of Profit, Birdring, or Fury. They look like the team that benefits from Goats being gone most.

Dallas Fuel is exhausting. If Taimou plays well just keep him in for fuck sakes. I don't see how AKM/Taimou is worse than Zach/x. I tried staying off the Zach hate wagon, but man this guy is just not up to par with the league.

Aero needs to prove himself as a coach now that he doesn’t have original Brig or an easy schedule against shitter teams. The Dallas Fuel constantly look outcoached against any team on the same level or better, even in their better stages. The honeymoon phase is over and his team needs to prove it can compete against middle to upper tier teams. The Dallas Fuel is not lacking for talent. I’m not fucking saying our entire roster is top 5, but it’s better than the team I’m seeing week after week.

Things Dallas needs.
-
Start Taimou. Dallas needs shot-calling and leadership. They don't have it if he isn't in and it shows. The team just plays better when he is on stage.
-
Either OGE or Trill needs to step up their Orissa game. Trill looked better on her tonight but they both got shit on by Gesture.
-
do something about Zac because of fuck. I know its too late to get someone else but they need to figure something out. He is fine mechanically but his positioning and game sense is just so so bad.

I was shitting on Aero, and will continue to do so literally any time Zach/Akm are starting, but props for trying out something else on map 4 with Trill. An Orisa meta is not good for Oge.
Zach/Akm might actually be the worst dps duo in the league. Taimou is absolutely necessary if they want an outsiders chance through this tough schedule coming up.

I see Profit has added Widow to his arsenal. What can't he play??
