Shanghai loses these.

Four fucking zero. Shanghai doesn't lose these.

... time to watch my boys DF farm some noobs

"New York" Excelsior

FL 3-2 u heard it here first folks

this meme of the players swapping roles wouldn't be funny anymore if it didn't happen every week

4Head

I mean.. Taimou popped off on Widow? I'm just not seeing anything out of AKM.

Account boosting is terrible obviously, something I think plenty of us have dealt with first hand in competitive, but you really do have to feel sympathy for the guy. He tried to provide for his family in a way that he could.

Well, at this point I hope EFFECT is the next to go.

Not because he's bad, obviously not, because I genuinely feel his pain having to deal with his team at the moment. He has so much potential and will certainly get signed somewhere else -- somewhere where he can genuinely compete.

3-1 Dallas trust me i'm from the future Kappa

3-2 SFS

i don't know if this is funny given the context my guy

I really don't think the timing of this name change was coincidental.

Changing his name and hiding from the past? Pretty bad.

Man, imagine how it would feel to have one person steal your role everywhere you go. First, you get main tank snatched from you, then you go to a new team and have your role stolen AGAIN. Can't wait until the news story where Axxiom moves back to the Foxes and subsequently pushes Pumple out.

uh ok?

Alien invasion, take 2. This time with added super.

3-1 Gladiators.

valiant looks like a mess to me right now, i'd say 4-0 or 3-1 seoul

nothing against geguri as a person and no i am not being sexist, but I was and am even more so now skeptical of the pickup. a mostly unproven player who very briefly played for a team who didn't perform at all in APEX. questionable choice imo

edit: first star fragment post yay

ado is insane bro what the fuck?

Well that was... close. Surprisingly close. Maybe Dallas will make their grand comeback in Stage 3. I can hope.

If history repeats itself we'll be seeing him in Stage Never actually

Really don't think "surging" is the right word to describe Seoul at the minute, but I certainly do think they'll take this one. 3-1 or 4-0 Seoul.

mothership you can have him back

:alien: SEOUL OUTDATED :alien: NYXL OVERRATED :alien: LONG HAVE WE WAITED :alien: ALIEN ACTIVATED :alien:

Well uh... that's not what I expected?

If SF had the 150k Lizard for this game I would think it would be a lot closer, but I still see them taking a map or two. I would go with Houston 3-1, SF taking Hanamura.

I would be shocked if Dallas stole a map here, despite Fusion's tendency towards being inconsistent and very erratic. Dallas has completely lost the tiny spark they had at the start of the stage, bogged down by drama and overall role confusion.

Seoul 3-2, Spitfire take Gibraltar and Hanamura. Spitfire's weakness on Control will really slow them down here -- especially if it goes to the tiebreaker map.

i too pray that there are no more brutal and disgusting attacks between players and coaches of opposing teams. the incident that happened yesterday was absolutely revolting and made me lose some faith in humanity. shame on you gladiators

Mayhem look to be on a little bit of a hot streak, but I still see this tipping towards the Gladiators 3-1 or 3-2. Gladiators drop Route 66, maybe Volskaya as well.

GLA 3-2, Outlaws steal King's Row and Gibraltar.

LET'S GO MCDONALDS PogChamp

m-mayhem are you guys becoming a g-g-g-good team?

This right here is a game. Seoul takes this 3-2 in an incredibly close fashion.

My dad beats me FeelsBadMan My mom beats me FeelsBadMan My brother beats me FeelsBadMan My sister beats me FeelsBadMan At least I feel safe with NRG FeelsGoodMan because they can't beat anyone FeelsGoodMan

How will Dallas Fuel strive to throw this game? Players filling the wrong roles? Substitutions or lack thereof that make little to no sense? General bad gameplay?

Find out next time on Dragonball Z!

seeing the puppies return is glorious

Glad to see him freed, think it will be beneficial for his sanity in the future. Whether or not you agree with him or think he's immature or whatever, can you imagine how annoying it would be being constantly forced to change who you were? Constantly knowing that you could just be suddenly banned whenever the people up at OWL feel like it? Both sides should be happy with this resolution -- I can only hope that OWL feels like they've made their "anti-toxic-kid-friendly" point and will ease up somewhat. I'd rather not continue with "OverwatchChildishDramaLeague" and hopefully we can move on from that.

I mean, I don't think it's surprising at all. Jake has a history of toxicity and has only been putting up this nice guy facade lately -- dude has literally thrown my games before

glad to see zza back in the game honestly, been a while

Realistically, this is an Outlaws 4-0 with a chance for the Mayhem to steal Lijang to make it 3-1.

but honestly realism is dumb, this is a mayhem 4-0 let's go baybee

I might sound like the boy who cried wolf here but I'm telling you this is a SHD 4-0.

c-c-called it.. BibleThump

Could see the Gladiators maybe pulling out Nepal, but that's about it. Should be Seoul 4-0, maybe 3-1.

Boston has looked like they're on a bit of a slump lately, but I'll be damned if they give up more than a map in this one.

somewhere deep in my heart I can see it
this one is the one where Shanghai finally breaks free
SD 4-0

and then they go on to win the grand finals in a stunning reverse sweep...

DF wins this one 3-2. Valiant have seemingly looked worse in this Stage and Dallas has looked far better.

Well, he wasn't wrong..
