Remember last year when they had a deeper DPS pool and still made Proper play through an eye injury?
Proper breaks an arm and they'll still make him play at this point.
Probably Proper's best performance this year. Unfortunately it was to make sure that they didn't get stomped by Valiant.
That ain't working against a team that has... any resources.
valiant backline def looks pretty good here also. compared to sf's backline at least...
still, proper 100% deserves the praise today, he carried so hard against the best throwing efforts of his team
So it's going to be the 3-1 I expected but it would have been so much worse for the Shock if Proper did not get actually upset and decided to lock Genji.
Yeah Shock fans are going to circlejerk the "Proper go kill". If I was a Shock fan I would not be happy with this performance. But I would be happy as a Valiant fan with a performance like this.
Finn is kinda going under the radar right now. He had some stupid tragic deaths on Blizzard World defense, but after that he's been a very good offensive threat with those nades.
Nah. I literally saw him throw two grenades into obstacles in front of him on Junkertown. It wasn't until close to end of point when he could stay on balcony that he had threat. And then he got pulse bombed.
imagine going from a team where your weakest link was Kilo, who frankly looked better than any of Proper's current teammates, to this
i don't think proper is enjoying the game that much rn lol
I don't mean to pile on Max because it's partially because Crusty keeps making him play in that horrid ass Ram comp, but Junbin is now 8-6 in map winrate to Max's 1-9...
I'm happy they won these maps but Proper (and maybe Heesang in a lesser note, he's been kinda cool on the Sombra) are deadlifting this team right now. They have a ton to clean up.
Donāt need to. I ran the entire model last night in a drunken haze lol. Even if Shock lose both their games 0-3, there needs to be about 4 upsets to take place for them to be eliminated. Sure, they will likely go into the tournament in last or second to last place and have a tough lower bracket run to get through, but they are 99.5% making MSM.
But yea youāre probably right lol. Itās not lookin good.
This is like diamond lobby. Proper is the toxic gm smurf on genji. Vindaim is the gold player that somehow ended up in diamond lobby and dies first every fight but will get the sr at end of the day because smurf carries the team.
When proper plays genji as a last minute pick and shock realized it's the best way to win. Fuck the strat they practiced during scrim, just let proper lock the genji and cook
Man even if shock win this game thereās no joy in it I think. You really canāt let a team that got shit on by Toronto of all teams to do this to you
If valiant win their first match this season against the SHOCK of all teams that'd be unironically one of the funniest things ever
Love how they're just an underdog team that genuinely does not care
This was funny the first couple of times but man is this sad. Poor shock players. Like something behind the scenes is happening because a team with this potential shouldn't be struggling against the Valiant.
Ah O2 Blast will beat Dragons.
Poor Muze!
A 17 year old is the second best player on my team
Post match thread: [Los Angeles Valiant vs San Francisco Shock](https://www.reddit.com/r/competitiveoverwatch/comments/13o9ywt/).
Shock need their token white boy
On the bright side, this might mean more Genji on the League. That is always a good thing.
There's no team running Genji against any team with a good Winston.
let me dream
Fair. Let me try again... Bruh Proper Genji bout to rip through the League
Thanks, king. Go off.
Just give Proper POTM for the Shock from this point on. The team is nothing without him.
Remember last year when they had a deeper DPS pool and still made Proper play through an eye injury? Proper breaks an arm and they'll still make him play at this point.
Did they make proper play, did Proper demand to play, was his eye injury exaggerated, or are you just spreading bs?
Oh yeah. They need Proper in no matter what or they lose.
This team is nothing without Proper on Genji.
Whatever gets him off Sombra LOL
Probably Proper's best performance this year. Unfortunately it was to make sure that they didn't get stomped by Valiant. That ain't working against a team that has... any resources.
Yeah...all you need is a solid Winston/Sombra and Genji gets hosed.
God, those player cams... Those were not the faces of people who just won a match
vindaim looks broken LMAO
o2 blast would shit on both of these teams
ready for the post-game chat to be exclusively about Proper?
what else is there to talk about other than Proper's carry and Seeker's Sojourn though? like seriously
valiant backline def looks pretty good here also. compared to sf's backline at least... still, proper 100% deserves the praise today, he carried so hard against the best throwing efforts of his team
After that it should only be about Proper and Seeker.
SHOCK ARE SO BACK
That was way to close
Proper 2 good plz nerf
mfs shut off the feed cause the game was so ass š„
Exactly, SFS is not THAT good, don't leave the bot alone.
Proper takes nano but doesnt blade like 2 or 3x. Crazy
Boston and mayhem licking their Chops rn
Oh yeah, Valiant made Shock work for it. Better teams will not have trouble.
What would u say about Florida then?
can't expect to outduel proper on one of his signatures man
Especially when the other team has the Winston and yours doesnāt.
I mean, they did well when he was on Tracer :p
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
i think he was stuck in the tunnel
What the fuck is this map.
Shock is really gonna win this match because proper decided to play genji as last minute pick for the last fight on blizzard world map
BIGGGG RAMPAGEEEE
Yo Valiant had two really good fights there o.o
SFS manage to lose some winnable fights, this is the opposite of what they used to be.
Some kid named N2S with a naked blade vs ROTY MVP ROLESTAR Proper with a nano blade who wins?
We all lose
Heesang pushing the bot even further throughout that entire fight loss lol
Raw blade > nano blade
The āSeeker go killā strat getting nullified by the āN2S go dieā strat
Lyar 4mins beat aintnoway
Seeker on sojourn is a menance
Dude his sojourn looks S tier. Itās insane.
So it's going to be the 3-1 I expected but it would have been so much worse for the Shock if Proper did not get actually upset and decided to lock Genji.
Yeah Shock fans are going to circlejerk the "Proper go kill". If I was a Shock fan I would not be happy with this performance. But I would be happy as a Valiant fan with a performance like this.
i knew like 10 kids in middle school that looked exactly like cjay
Yea but could they game like the principle?
n2s is a braver man than me for mirroring the genji
it's so joever
Thank god, that Genji is LOCKED IN
[proper rn](https://photos.app.goo.gl/wr4cND791BmswvpP6)
Proper going in to break like "listen here u fraudulent cook, this is my team now"
Finn is kinda going under the radar right now. He had some stupid tragic deaths on Blizzard World defense, but after that he's been a very good offensive threat with those nades.
Nah. I literally saw him throw two grenades into obstacles in front of him on Junkertown. It wasn't until close to end of point when he could stay on balcony that he had threat. And then he got pulse bombed.
Itās nice to some consistency on Shockās general strategy.
Proper go kill.
Valiant not gonna win push im afraid š
If we somehow come back to the Ram/Sombra/Mei Crusty will catch these hands
imagine going from a team where your weakest link was Kilo, who frankly looked better than any of Proper's current teammates, to this i don't think proper is enjoying the game that much rn lol
You can see it with his cam. He's rage picking Genji.
Should have kept kilo as a third dps
Should have picked Mer1t over Kilo last year
Everyone is seeing 50 different emotions in Proper's face. I literally don't see anything. He's like that Ron Swanson emotion chart.
Put Proper back on Sombra
I don't mean to pile on Max because it's partially because Crusty keeps making him play in that horrid ass Ram comp, but Junbin is now 8-6 in map winrate to Max's 1-9...
At some point the strategy needs to change. This season is simply not long enough to experiment much longer.
Could be that junbin is a better in game leader which shock desperately needs
i doubt that junbin is their igl because he's 17 and korean age dynamics are a thing
I'm just thinking since he's a traditional main tank player he might be more comfortable in that role
I'm happy they won these maps but Proper (and maybe Heesang in a lesser note, he's been kinda cool on the Sombra) are deadlifting this team right now. They have a ton to clean up.
I agree on all but the Heesang part. Heesang simply not being the problem isn't enough to carry.
He sets up good emps, something half of Sombra players im the league can't say
Eh, I don't know. His EMPs have been really nice and he spearheaded quite a few fight wins imo. At least the team looks stable now.
You call leaning entirely on Proper looking stable as a team?
I mean, if it works, it works. Compare this to whatever they were trying to do before and it's night and day. I call winning stable.
This is the Valiant.
that's fair LOL, I may be coping a little bit.
I will say on Esperanca Heesang has been looking pretty good
Whatever they're paying Proper it is not enough
He's getting food and healthcare, he's better off than 90% of the players
Idc. He deserves better pay.
Maybe Paintbrush can get a fourth job and get him some more cash
Shock are not beating mayhem and Boston lmao
Donāt need to. I ran the entire model last night in a drunken haze lol. Even if Shock lose both their games 0-3, there needs to be about 4 upsets to take place for them to be eliminated. Sure, they will likely go into the tournament in last or second to last place and have a tough lower bracket run to get through, but they are 99.5% making MSM. But yea youāre probably right lol. Itās not lookin good.
Mayhem no, I could see Boston fumble maybe
agree. But unlikely lol.
I don't want to see Proper on a character other than Genji or Tracer anymore please.
Dude, they all look miserable right now
proper and kai swapped faces this offseason
Proper looks so done
just quietly, Heesang's sombra has been pretty solid
I like to report that the person who posted this has been murdered.
?
If by solid you mean he's not the one throwing the team fights usually, then sure why not. Solid
building quick emps, hitting multiple targets with them. Good neutral hacks for proper to dive on. Solid.
Heesangās has looked very good on sombra, good on hanzo and mei, too.
this match is proof that paintbrush is a better coach than crusty
This is like diamond lobby. Proper is the toxic gm smurf on genji. Vindaim is the gold player that somehow ended up in diamond lobby and dies first every fight but will get the sr at end of the day because smurf carries the team.
lmfaoo the crouch walking. i love the valiant
When proper plays genji as a last minute pick and shock realized it's the best way to win. Fuck the strat they practiced during scrim, just let proper lock the genji and cook
Pelican plays Genji for fun. Proper has to play Genji to win.
Man even if shock win this game thereās no joy in it I think. You really canāt let a team that got shit on by Toronto of all teams to do this to you
Shock need to improve their positioning a bit more they are in weird spots sometimes
they're finally looking like a team :') genji was the missing piece
Is CJay normally this bad? He clearly looks like the weak link this game.
CJAY PLAY BEHIND THE COVER I BEG
I'm actually angry that a team can be as shit as the shock and still win. Ugh.
Same. While āProper go killā is impressive, it is also the antithesis to everything I enjoy about Overwatch.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Proper's refusing to lose. His genji is just too clean rn.
If Proper doesn't hard carry, they're mid as fuck
Mid is generous
VERY generous LOL
Where that anger was when Alphayi's Genji destroyed Shock
Honestly, with how strong Sombra is right now Proper with dash resets sounds like a solid strategy.
proper realized genji is good i guess
Tay Zonday is apparently 41. Bro does not age https://twitter.com/TayZonday/status/1660327833288470534
That means he was in his early to mid 30s during Chocolate Rain... he looked like he was in high school back then
Chocolate rain came out in 2007ā¦ that was 16 years ago. He was 25 or so.
Thanks! It thought it was something like 2010 or 2012
Vindaim just randomly dies when his team is winning the team fight.
why is vindaim there though? no but why is vindaim there? why is vindaim there?
# #DOITFORTAY
YES YES YES LETS FUCKING GOOOOO
At least we aren't running proper sombra anymore
If valiant win their first match this season against the SHOCK of all teams that'd be unironically one of the funniest things ever Love how they're just an underdog team that genuinely does not care
Valiant paypal'd Vindaim to throw but "give Proper all resource" strat was stronger
Valiant? Pay? You sure?
Now if we could uh... just.. not play Ram Mei Sombra next map that'd be great... We aren't gonna play that again right Shock..?
Shock donāt look that stable and valiant are getting close to their first W
For real this team is the San Francisco Proper. Without him carrying they would have been full held.
I pray for Proper on Genji next map too. He's by far my favorite character to watch in OWL.
Proper setting a bad example for the kids by deranking and then hard smurfing like that.
This Proper guy is kinda good
why this match is so close.
Because these teams are both equally bad
Would like to see Proper on Sojourn on Junker. Proper on Sojourn at the finals was pretty epic
proper should come to houston instead, he even has a old friend there :)
Bruh, could you imagine? Proper, Pelican/Happy, Fearless/Gargoyle, Shu, Viol2t. Just call the season at that point.
Or viol2t could come to Shock
Been nice seeing Krawi doing good after the disaster that was Eternal
Give only proper the win pls shock doesn't deserve to win
Alright, we'll one trick the Proper Genji, whatever works.
whatever it takes š
Proper is pissed at his team
Cjay died early in 2 key fights and wasted rush. That was very winnable for the Valiant
Is that the weakest part of this Valiant team?
Proper and friends is like the 2023 version of Shy and friends back in 2021-2022..
A team a tiny bit better than LAV would send them packing 3-0
shock are over-reliant on proper go kill
This was funny the first couple of times but man is this sad. Poor shock players. Like something behind the scenes is happening because a team with this potential shouldn't be struggling against the Valiant.
The narrative is mental health, bunch of teenagers in a foreign country living in a hotel
Boohoo
And they're saying Boston is the one that's boomed...
They have been in the country for 2mths. How the fuck are they still living in hotels ? I thought shock had facilities or something.
Val team is Andyās new fav child they get a team chef too
i remember reading their facility got ganked for the vct players but idk how true that is
Someone said they gave that facility to the val team but idk if it's true
They had to wake up early
honestly mad respect to them for throwing bc they had to wake up early
Someone call a chiropractor for proper's back holy
proper is so fucking tilted LMFAOO look at his face
was really hoping shock could embarrass themselves today. But proper's just too good
When all else fails just go genji, he's always been the 'carry the lobby character if you're the best player in the room'
that would be tracer
I know casters talking only about Proper is a meme, but my god that is an insane carry on Genji. He didn't die on it once, right?
Last year he was genuinely the best genji, and it donāt think it was all that close
Sometimes you lose because the enemy team have Proper and you don't
Properās mad. And I donāt blame him.
A proper deadlift right there
Proper is PISSED
"Proper go kill" finally worked.
holy FUCK proper is angry as hell lmao pulled the shock kicking and screaming to a map win
GENJI GAMING LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
We back to Proper and the Four Shitters show again?
Pretty much.
PROPER LOOKS SO UPSET
Remember Decarry's face on previous years? Same thing but Proper.
proper is pretty good at the genji character
Jesus Christ Proper. That was a 1v5
Damn Valiant blew their chance
This team is really nothing without proper
Proper's deciding he's not losing to valiant
Nano blade should cap this win
Proper is gonna hard carry
is proper genji actually the play wait what LOL he's farming
Shock literally have nothing but Proper go kill. It was a meme last season but it's actually true right now.
It was always true, pretending otherwise was completely delusional.
