Let’s see if Valiant can get a win today or if Titans continue to be on a win streak.

I’m making predictions now. They’re gonna play GOATs mirror matches for 4 straight maps. One team’s Zarya will die first, and then the other team will just win that team fight. Rinse repeat.

4

If Valiant loses, they will be eliminated from any contention for the stage 1 playoffs, which would be a blessing in disguise as they will get a 25-day break from live matches after week 4.

I doubt they would think of it as a blessing!

Vancouver will win, and we’ll be one match away from next Saturday being a fight to be the last expansion side unbeaten, head-to-head

Well remember that the trade/signing window will open. 25 days is a huge amount of time to regroup and re-train for a new stage and fight for the rest of the season strong.

Stop trying to make Kuki Lucio happen, it’s not gonna happen!

Can Blizzard just release the upcoming patches already? This constant GOATs vs GOATs is actually extremely frustrating to watch. Super boring to watch.
Especially with all of these TV deals now, if the ratings plummet, Blizzard may be causing long term irreparable damage to their esports brand.
Let’s get Baptiste, let’s get the GOATs direct nerfs… this is just getting ridiculous.
When teams switch off of GOATs, they lose, then promptly go back to GOATs.
Clealry Bliz has recognized the problem but this patch should be hotfix priority.

This is unbearable. I want to watch the games, but instead I just have the tab muted while I watch other stuff on YouTube.

I love my Valiant, but I smell a full hold on point A coming up.

Hey at least its not a full hold!

18

technically winnable, the best kind of winnable

Yeah l don’t mean to sound like a douche, but valiant play such a bland version of goats.

I know goats isn’t exactly exciting but valiant seem so system orientated, all their flair has dissipated.

You are always waiting for someone to do something, but they never do.

I must respectfully agree.
