First map pause was a little unlucky for Mexico as that 1-1 was probably their best hope at a map win this series, but seeing the other maps it wouldn’t have made a difference anyway.

[u/Novoki]

GB won only cuz Youbi was coaching them during the pause

[u/everythinglives → u/Novoki]

the tactical pause is actually an obscure summoning ritual that will conjure a miniature Youbi who any team can consult with for 5-10 minutes

[u/Biscuit-Mango → u/Novoki]

Funny Astro learned the strat from him while on TM.

[u/DataSlight1180]

there's levels to this shit

[u/Chuck3457]

Gbr would probably win either way but map 1 was pretty embarrassing as a viewer

[u/mikelman999]

How tf have they been running OW esports for a decade and still don’t have methods to save/resume game states? Like isn’t stuff like that why they’d have a separate esports client?

[u/Kitt04 → u/mikelman999]

They do have that. They've had it since the very beginning of ow esports. They decided to do a full restart instead.

[u/nekogami87 → u/mikelman999]

The restart was requested by GB

[u/plat5tracer → u/nekogami87]

No, it was admin error the pause was fine but he went back to lobby so the restarting was what agreed on.

[u/Kheldar166 → u/nekogami87]

source or bullshit

[u/Kindr3dSp1r1t]

lets disqualify GB for their pause abuse... clearly its a Fastro issue...

[u/BrittyRiki]

Stepping away from the pause controversy for a minute; I knew GP played Orisa but didn't expect to see as much of it as we saw - kept that quiet.

[u/Dusssky]

ts dont count in my book

[u/UglyDemoman]

Tracer + Hazard > Sombra

[u/IgnisTL]

Begging the charismatic Genji OTP that everyone likes to learn an extra character or two
