Hopefully Valiant have pulled it together but I think this is going to be a win for the Hunters.

the hunters didnt look so hot the other night but hopefully theyll be better tonight

On a side note, over the week, LA Valiant released their Tracer specialist, Bunny.

Unpopular opinion - LAV have the best walkout music

WTF…now even the hunters play goats? Damn, can someone pls fire their coaches and strategy planers? NOW!!! :roll_eyes:

They probably chickened out last time around when their DPS comps were stomped by Valiant so they decided to go GOATS because Valiant, of course, is really bad with GOATS lol.

But what has their last game to do with this game? Each team is different. And sometimes you have a bad day, happens. Doesn’t mean your strategy is completely wrong. - IMHO.

This is just painful to watch.

im watching a smash ultimate tournament right now whats happening in owl?

It does prove that their DPS comps aren’t infallible. Last game vs Charge, their DPS comps were stomped too except for when they decided to run GOATS in the last round. I love JinMu but Agilities outperformed him as Pharah last time around.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m fully on Hunters team but I’m trying to make sense as to why they’re going for GOATS.

They insta lost vs. Valiant! This say alot I think. ^^"
I was looking forward to this match, sadly, it looks as boring as all the others now.

Help me Clockwork Vendetta. You are my only hope!

uuuuu the squad is back lmao

What was that on point B? Hunters had a free objective point but didn’t fully went on it to capture fast… weird.

Now, this is the Hunters I love and worship!
