Dallas is going to kick ass.
They found their mistakes,
they're switching around their players,
they're reformed,
and Kyky is going to lead these guys to victory.

Nah of course I'm kidding Dallas is going to get utterly destroyed and we'll just have to sit back and watch it all fold out wondering where it all went wrong.

Can we still say FuelsBadMan, or will that get us banned by Blizzard for illegal memes?

Mickie Main tank, Seagull off tank tonight

I'm very interested in seeing this. Mickies DVA has been a little iffy lately but he has a history of being exceptional on the hero. If he can translate his previous DVA highs on to Winston dive this could be very good for Fuel.

Also Seagull on offtank could be very promising. Everyone respects and praises his game sense and knowledge, this could be a great role for him, he can back up his tanks, he can keep an eye on his supports, he can make space for the dps.

This could be good, this could be a disaster, either way it will be fun to watch!

This honestly just sounds like a dinner menu.

And today, the main ~~course~~ tank will be Mickie paired with a side ~~dish~~ tank of Seagull

Every new Fuel composition is a whole new recipe, good or bad.

Going to be watching this match between my fingers, especially if Rascal gets the start again. It just hurts me so much to see my babies so battered and beaten at this point.

This is an entirely different Fuel.

NYXL will almost certainly take the series but this has been a fantastic watch so far :D :D

Ah, of course, the Seagull D.Va was what was needed to turn Dallas' season around, just as we all knew.

Damn in a game where you'd think it would be about the tracer duel, rascal and libero have been sick. What a fun game!

and surely Seagull's Dva is much more solid than Mickie's.
Mickie was too aggresive.

I did not expect this to go to map 5 but goddamn Dallas is looking reformed in a serious way with the Bird on DVA and Rascal/EFFECT duo DPSing. I'm not sold yet on Mickie on Winston but maybe they'll let cocco back into the rotation soon.

Damn it’s almost like Kyky being hell bent on this DPS carry comp instead of having an tactically savy and experienced frontline was the Achilles heel of Dallas this whole time, isn’t it?

EDIT: Down frag me all you want you cowards, you know it's true.

I just hope that DF doesn't throw by sticking on Sombra if it doesn't work.

EDIT - LIKE I FUCKING SAID RASCAL WHY?

The Sombra throw was real.

God, I can't get over how frustrating that was to me for DF to stay commited to the Sombra and never once ult after having it since first fight.

Trade KariV-AKM pls ( 1- they need to fix their Zen issue 2- baguette boys reunion )

lol you wish. There is no way I would even considered trading Kariv for aKm if I were the maneger of LAV.

No. AKm is better than KariV, plus there is the precious connection with Unkoe and SoOn

lol aKm is a top tier soldier but Kariv has shown he's pretty much better at every other hero except maybe McCree. This trade would actually work well for both teams

Really glad they decided to give Taimou a break. Dude has been grinding since APEX S1. Even greats need breaks.

So, at the start of OWL Akm refuse Dallas because of the sub place. And now he choose Dallas and get ... bench.

Let's be honest, aKm's hero pool is just too small (lack of Genji/Tracer/Tanks) to put him in main lineup. 76 boosted by Mercy can't work forever.

Sort of, but CptAdama's point ain't less valid.

I said it myself, he did the trials for them before OWL and didn't work, I guess it was a combination of "Not what we look for" on DF side and "Don't want to be benched" on his side.

What about now? How's the frenchman gonna react?

#47

Hi

Frags

Well who cares really, I mean however he reacts its on him, he needs a larger hero pool. Personally I think he's going to be very reasonable and knows he needs a larger pool. He needs to be able to play either tracer or genji if he wants to be a starter. Look at every other team in the league that tries to run a duo that doesn't have both dive heroes in their pool. Dallas with both akm and taimou. Dragons with undead and diya. Shock with danteh and babybay. Until recently outlaws were having that problem as well. The best teams all have flex gods or a hitscanner who can run tracer as well as the others.

Dallas looked great in comparison to their recet past.That said it feels like Rascal is getting into his stride, a better main tank would free up Effect and Rascal so much. NYXL appeared to play within themselves somewhat.

Game 5 was a walkover, which should worry Dallas. That's playoff style swagger.

Libero MOTM but only just from Rascal.
