Stage 3 playoff implications for both teams and I don't think there is a clear favorite going in. Interested to see what roster SFS fields for each map as they have a nice 3 man DPS rotation of Arch/Danteh/Sinatraa.

Houston 3-2

They need to stop forcing this strange concept of "Jake playing tracer". Getting exposed so hard rn by Sinatraa.

He played pretty damn well on the first 3 maps. Jake has been improving quite a bit.

Houston's problem is that they have great coordination but significantly less mechanical talent than other teams. Every single one of their players has to be razor sharp in every match not to lose. In stage 2, Jake and Muma weren't playing at their absolute best. In stage 3, Linkzr and Rawkus have traded off playing badly.

The Outlaws need to stop playing reactively in two ways:

1. They wait too long to dive because they wait for the perfect moment when an enemy seems out of position. Instead, they should initiate dives by positioning themselves better and more aggressively.
2. They have to pick strong compositions rather than counter compositions. For example, Linkzr suffered on Mcree because it was hero very susceptible to dives, making it an unreliable counter to Pharah, especially on Oasis. Rather, they should train clockwork to play Pharah on this map because his hero pool suits it quite well.

Also, I believe Houston is a very talented team, but they looked exceedingly uncoordinated and staggered on their dives in today's match.

I fear he has joined the bench team of SFS, which means basically disappearing from the face of earth?

IDDQD, Dhak, Babybay, Nomy (even if they brought him out a couple fo times, maybe for language barriers?) and I guess if they value Architect as much as it seems also Nevix will eventually follow.

Danteh saved himself byb being their best performer (by far) in stage 2 and yet he had to specialize in Sombra to have a chance, even thou I don't think Sinatra atm is much better than him on Tracer.

I don’t know, he was absolutely terrible on that Route 66 defense.

Another map 5 loss :(((((((((((((
