I’m confidently predicting 3-2 Fusion. It’s Philly, their teams never do it easy

So i was gone for the first game. Was it worth watching or was is just a complete 0-4 stomp?

Also this will most likely go to Fusion. Valiant have not been looking great and they might just use this game as practice for different strategies.

4

I actually have been pretty harsh on the valiant this stage, l mean they are 0-5

So l watched a few of thier matches again, they arnt the worst goats team and have played quite well

They just don’t have that X factor when the game is on the line, hope they find it l like the valiant.

1 map had some hero variety with DPS heroes played till the end of the round, but other then maybe 1 solid defense on the last map from Atlanta for a while…eh…it was a surprising curb stomp.

I’m predicting a pushover…I don’t care that the Valiant’s Battle Mercy showed up today…this will be a quick 4-0 going to the Fusion…

8

Boombox is hoping to stay undefeated this season (currently 3-0)

Valla were lucky to keep the point there, it looked like Kuki was going to get hard punished for getting out of position when he got solo graved and taken down

Make that twice now, this time he wasn’t so lucky

10

hi gamers hows it goin in this thread

11

We are probably going to be laughing at the other LA team pretty soon. But besides that not too much is happening.

Speaking of which, its about time right now

12

This is unfortunately not surprising seeing how Valiant have been playing.

13

I wonder, would LA look better if Kariv moved back to Support, one of him and Izayaki took the Main Support duties, and then KSF slotted in next to Agilities? It’s got to be better than Kuki whilst Custa is away, surely? He’s a good Main Tank, but Kuki sure as hell can’t pay Lucio

14

please tell me somebody clipped Semmler just now

15

lol backcap and a half

16

Valiant is a mess…Support players playing as tanks, tanks playing as supports, Twitch chat attacking Custa when Custa is away for no fault of his own…

And just now they overextend and Philly is allowed to contest…Valiant is lucky they were able to push this past Point A…

17

i saw valiant leave one member on the point to capture it while everyone else went to get kills and thats when i knew they were almost done. ya gotta leave at least 2 or 3 people so the capture progress goes faster. they got lucky just now

18

See, normally I’d understand having a Support playing Tank, because of how flexible Kariv is. He’s listed as a DPS this season, and his Zarya has been pretty much the only bright spot for Valla so far. But when your Support line is struggling so much, you simply have to think about moving him back there.

19

look at how fast fusion already got a tick on point a like… what is valiant DOING

20

This was not even the first time. There is something wrong with Valiant strategy, because in past maps they also are mistiming the contesting, and giving out free thirds all the time.
