ok Reign… you got this!
i want to believe!

Where was the loser’s interview for Gladiators? Did they ditch it after the outroar?

i want atlanta to make it all the way to the grand finals and win

atlanta captured my sympathy with interviews with their owner, sadly dafran is out… but babybybay is there instead… so yea, i support them

Sigma is the most picked hero and if you don’t pick him, you lose. Sounds right.

Btw a bit off topic but I really hate “that’s the perfect way to rebound buddy” commercial from Xfinity.

imo who has better sigma wins…
he is too powerfull

6-6 to 5-3…id say thats pretty even

That was info from the casters. I think that’s pretty telling.

Glads aren’t out yet, the loser interviews are for eliminated teams

Damn, these pro teams really can time their last pushes perfectly, mostly. ^^"

Jjonak on Moira is just a treat.

I love how the teams have all embraced the “niche” characters during playoffs…

Sym, bastion…the often frowned upon reaper…doomfist was garbage not too long ago…all we need is a torb out there to shut down every “niche” argument in the future

Can you imagine that Reaper was also niche, not long time ago? Crazy times. :sweat_smile:

This was a really fast Sym-push for Atlanta on Hanamura, wowy!

Surefour wouldn’t stop crying, they couldn’t get the make up on him for “on camera” time. :stuck_out_tongue:

I switched to Babybay’s PoV on this map. I need to see Ashe vs double barrier…

Surefour thinks she’s still good vs the shields. I trust him.

You’re gonna see a lot of SBB kicking your butt then. :stuck_out_tongue:

LOL Trashcan with 3 shields, this is the best cheese.
