I think they looked great in comparison, but a better team would have punished a bunch of positional errors, Idk I want to see how they do vs others.

Yeah, I mean, no one has had to grind Genji, Widow, Tracer or McCree in months. Undoubtedly they'd be rusty
Why'd you cut off the other bottom tier team that is joint 17th, Dallas Fuel? It's their time!
There you go, fixed it, there's all four of the bottom tier teams, given that that 17 is a draw between two teams which have gone 0-4.
It's a shame that it sorts alphabetically on the drawed numbers, given that Florida actually secured more points in the match than Fuel mind.
I can see this happening too, but I wouldn't be so mad or fed up, all depends on how well performance wise they look.
Looking at the teams it's funny how much stronger Pacific division is shaping up to be compared to last season. Titans, Valiant, Spark, Seoul, Dragons, Glads. The lesser teams probably being Dallas, Charge and Hunters.
Meanwhile on the other side Washington, Boston, Toronto, Houston and Florida are grouped up. Lol.
If Outlaws can make them do anything other than GOATs then they have a really good chance of beating them imo. But they probably wont be able to, so Fusions will carry them through.
We'll have to see for sure, but I think people might be sleeping on GZ and Hunters
I think Pacific is gonna be the competitive league while Atlantic is gonna end up NYXL, Atlanta, and Philly steamrolling everyone else.
Oh Paris is a contender too.
Hot take: goats isn't that bad to watch and is actually a very complex comp and I enjoy seeing the many micro plays
The problem with Houston is that they could potentially run Sombra comps on Boston with Danteh, but then you're removing the Zarya DPS player because you'd force the other one to take the Brigitte role and sure, they could bring in Spree but his D.VA is terrible and they'd be stuck on that shit even if it doesn't work or run a scuffed GOATs with a Zarya one trick on D.Va.
This all comes from the fact that Rawkus is the one that can flex to Sombra and even then he's probably not looking so hot on that role either, plus again, would put them in a scenario in which it's either triple-quad DPS or Goats, no in-between. I think this could work, but mechanically with their roster... I don't know about Houston pulling it off. Outlaws biggest problem is really not having offtanks than aren't one tricks.
Hopefully, their match was pretty fun.

Yep, last year Atlantic was far and away better but this year Pacific's reversed the tides. The bottom teams in the Atlantic got worse/stayed roughly the same (Mayhem, Outlaws, Uprising) while the bottom teams in the Pacific like the Shock and Dragons got much better. Better expansion teams too.
I wouldn't go that far but I don't think it's as bad as many like to complain it is. I've also enjoyed the diversity and frequency of non GOATS we've gotten, more than I expected.
This is how I've felt watching these opening matches. Sure it's not as flashy as a DPS-heavy meta, but when a team pulls out a weird variant and it works, it's genuinely exciting.
I don't find GOATS boring to watch. I just find it sad that when the Zarya or Rein is out, it's done. Not much more room for options like other comps to overcome.
Really wholesome stuff coming out tonight. Everyone likes LAV. Even Soon tweeted about how nice it was to see everyone. Cuties.
Yeah I'm okay with GOATS sticking around so long as it's not the singular viable composition
I agree. Complaining about current meta is a huge fucking meme and I'm sick to death of it. People complained just as hard if not harder against the Mercy meta last season yet that's apparently what we're supposed to love cause Mercy enables DPS.
Goats is fine when an amazing team at it is playing it
I don't see how anyone could think Paris Eternals Goats was boring. They were crazy aggressive as fuck, sometimes even to their detriment
But watching bad teams play Goats can get pretty boring
The problem with GOATS for me when watching it is that sometimes it turns into Diarrhea Christmas Lights when a bunch of ults are going off and it's hard to follow what's going on, especially if nobody is dying.
Plus, I still dislike when Mercy is involved over Lucio. I roll my eyes when I see a res lmao.
since i only got up in time to see stitch v dragons, i just caught up on the rest of the matches

I don't have anything conceptually against GOATs exactly...I'm just a big proponent of variety making my viewing experience more fun and interesting. Seeing a majority of matches boiling down to the same comp fighting against itself (with the occasional Winston subbed for Rein or an occasional Sombra thrown in somewhere) just makes watching it feel more boring on a base level, even if the plays themselves can be exciting. I like seeing the offensive team and the defensive one sporting very different rosters so we can see more cool counter-play. When something unexpected is thrown in, it makes the matches more fun to watch, whether it ends up working out or not.
I get that the min/max nature of high level competitive play is always going to make that sort of constant variety rather scarce, but it's still what I root for.

For want of a home team (I'm based in Nashville), I followed Houston last year, but while Danteh is definitely an upgrade on Jake, the glaring problems with that team look like they'll remain glaring problems, so I might hitch my wagon to Atlanta this year as the most 'local' team.
Yeah, Dorado last series was so good giving us Diem popping on Widow and Haksal Genji. Thankfully it doesn't look like 3-3 will be as prevalent as we thought.
Hope Atlanta can give Fusion a game tonight.
From what I've seen so far, GOATS is pretty alright. I definitely prefer it over dive, which got stale pretty fast for me.
I think I've watched enough OW/GOATS at this point that I follow it along pretty dam well. I even notice when some casters Miss things during fights.
Boston 3-1 Houston
Atlanta 3-2 Philly
Shock 4-0 LAG (I'm preparing for the worst)
Seoul 3-1 Dallas

Seoul 3-1 Dallas
Houston is going to another map 5 final round game, as usual.
I definitely feel like Gladiators will win against Shock though.
I actually have no idea about the first one. I'm expecting a map 5, though.
The Atlanta we saw vs Florida does not beat Philly imo.
I actually agree. Gladiators suck and shock are on flames.
Seoul shouldn't have trouble beating Dallas
Your team lost to weebs and benched Custa I don't want to hear it
