We handicapped ourselves with that switch on Hanamura but goats v goats this is not even fun.
Actually slightly tilted this is not gonna be a 4-0.

Decay's grav-building game is absolutely disgusting. Every time I look in the right corner he's got another one!
Valiant looks like it's a team that should build around their defensive efforts though, I think you have too with Fate, their attacks aren't as aggressive nor decisive and they usually will get rolled or held with ease because of this, several instances where this was the case and it's the reason they didn't even cap B on Eichenwalde even though they destroyed A.
The top 4 teams have a very distinct way of playing the mirror, and that's what the rest of the League lacks.

Can we take a second to talk about these numbers
113 Pledges
$10,584 Est. Total Raised
That's really impressive. The fact that the average pledge works out to be ~$100 is pretty outstanding
Weekly reminder that Mayhem Academy is a better team than Florida Mayhem.
That was BRUTAL on Eichenwalde. Just, complete and utter destruction.

Maaan, even the contenders colours are better than the main team's:
On every level their contenders team >>>>>> OWL team.
Watching the Hanamura map in this Contenders match is downright OWL-level from both teams. Why is Mayhem Academy the Contenders team?
Promise was a coach of this team up until the last week of January, he's now on Valiant, btw.
Current headcoach is Curryshot.
Also, lmao Bearhands.

people really wanted to see them eat vegemite for a good cause. they have a really good community including the LBGTQ+ community
Nice to see Chayne on UA, he was riding the bench with Nomy on Montreal and they both got replaced by Sharyk lmao
So Boston Uprising lost to Contendies and is indeed the first Academy team that'll be playing trials. Worth pointing out, iostux is the coach of this team :) :)
Next goal is a Custa shoey. I reckon they'll reach it by the end of this stage
Here's the full video btw:

I was really hoping I'd be in Dallas again for work that weekend, but it's not looking likely 🙃
Reddit is saying that that clip isn't YXL and isn't why he's being reprimanded, he's being reprimanded for making comments calling Aspen Ameng's second wife while all three were in the same game. Ameng apologized to Aspen on his behalf after the game and YXL is getting reprimanded for harassment. That's some other random dude(supposedly)
Edit: Another guy is saying that on his weibo YXL clarified that he was trying to mess with Ameng by telling Aspen she was Ameng's second favorite waifu but a lack of English skills plus a different connotation/usage in Chinese for waifu absolutely botched it. Even then it's still ehhhhh but at least it's less weird. It's about as weird as Fareeha doing the same thing to Geguri repeatedly. Chengdu has also gone on Twitter to state that the guy dropping slurs is not YXL.

Yeah, Chengdu just confirmed on twitter that the Aspen clip with slurs isn't the one the fines are for.
Nice when teams reprimand their own players without being forced by the league to do so. Though we don't know whether that's entirely true. We can't see behind the scenes
There was a part 2 to it all in that later YXL and Aspen ended up in the same game again without Ameng. YXL said Ameng wouldn't queue with him for saying what he was thinking out loud. And apparently Aspen thought he was SBB the entire time. So YXL apologized to Aspen, Ameng, and SBB for making a mess and dragging them into it. Doubling down on your lameass joke that can be taken as harassment is pretty shitty.
Been watching this. Really wish I could donate but this has been fun to watch so far. Happy for Contendies making it to Playoffs. Their last match was so good.
As for the YXL thing, that's crazy situation. I don't think he intentionally mean it as harassment (at least I'd hope not) and he seems to have apologized to all. Still uncalled for but I'm willing to see it as a language mix up. Hopefully it stops there.
Oh man, I completely missed the charity stream, I'll give some subs to Harb when he's on.
The proceeds go to help patients with pancreatic cancer, which is what Harbleus dad had when he passed away.
