Catching up on the Flame stuff, dear lord that is certainly a hole he kept digging. Like god I just wanted someone to tell him if hes this bothered by commentary he should stop listening to it or at least get away from the internet for awhile. Blaming the casters for stating the obvious and being butthurt about it like he was just makes him look like a fool.
Jake's right, I think Flame is a fucking idiot for the way he framed it, but Jake's absolutely right.
Other than maybe trying some cheese in Paris, they capped A of Eichenwalde pretty cleanly, but the way they got held on B a Sombra pick would have not done enough for them. Positioning was too strong from Vancouver and they have the aggressive style to punish not having a D.Va on your team.
On Rialto you can't play anything else that isn't goats, nothings viable as an attacker against Vancouver.
Inb4 "Just Chengdu it 4Head", Hunters are 1-3 on Rialto, with that W being against PARIS on a match they already had 3-0.
Also:
Just wrap it up, Houston had no chance of getting a win today.

It sounds like a good idea, but I think it has some serious pratfalls. It would stifle meta development over time, and would be a large hindrance to the countless ranked matches every day, since pick rates are already miserably lopsided. Relegating it strictly to OWL league would be an unnecessary schism between casual a pro level gameplay. I really wish drafts were feasible, but with the aforementioned hero balance, it would be catastrophic in terms of competitive validity and having rotating hero bans would be worse. Relegating by role sounds nice, but unlike MOBAs, the maps really don't lend to it. It's a pretty shit situation overall in my opinion.
Is there some really short summary of what Flame is saying? I don't want to wade through his rant.
Now they've seemingly regressed back into him dying a lot in situations where it looks like he should be able to survive if he either backed off more or if his team backed him up more.
I'm not sure what's making him die again. Maybe the roster changes?
Yakpung started off Stage 1 as the tank who kept weirdly dying first and losing team fights that way. Then near the end of the stage, either he or the team started coming together and the early deaths mostly went away, leading to them looking way stronger.

Yeah, def has longterm consequences. I'd like it as an emergency ruleset that's in place until the dev team get their shit together or implement 2/2/2 + appropriate rebalancing on their own, at which point it can be called off
I know we've only seen one match of Fuel so far, but watching the vods it seems like the Note-RCK trade has benefited both teams positively.
It just feels he's hindered by both things outside his control and his own style. The core of players around him has constantly changed and the previous sinergies he built are basically thrown out the window now with Ivy on Brig and Im37 being their new Zarya, not to mention Stellar leaving.
That said, every time I see him play it feels he doesn't know his limits and the team isn't cohesive enough to keep him alive, mechanically he's not outstanding on any of the main tanks. He's like one of the most passive mt in the entire league.
Hard to state otherwise so far, now to see if there's some chance of consistency.
Predictions for today (since I was SO on the ball yesterday, lol)
Dallas Fuel 4 - 0 Paris Eternal
Atlanta Reign 3 - 1 Washington Justice
New York Excelsior 4 - 0 Florida Mayhem
Los Angeles Valiant 2 - 3 Los Angeles Gladiators

Comparing him with Mickie last season is an immense upgrade
Immense upgrade. Though they already started that upgrade path with Seagull
Yeah Seagull was way better than he should have been, always felt like a temporary patch over bigger issues though
Dallas made several mistakes that map but were still able to hold. The most noticeable one was when Note's shield missed the ledge and went to the ground and Paris jumped right in to capitalize on it, could have really fucked them over but OGE came in to drop his shield which saved them. Great recovery from some of these mistakes.
They won't be going toe-to-toe with any of the top 3/4, but dang, Dallas is gonna have a good stage.
Who would you call 4 at this point? I get top 3 are Van, NY, Shock
Glads most likely, the gatekeepers for the top 20% of the league
Not for a very long time he hasn't been. Just not highlighted as much due to DF's varying performance.
But not this week, great performance by the team.
