Caps vs Hurricanes, Game Five: open thread

Will the Caps lose three playoff games in a row the first time in a long time? Well, I sure hope not.

This is an open thread for reactions, rage, and revelry. It’s dangerous to go alone.

YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SAFE BECAUSE THIS IS THE OPEN THREAD? NOPE, SUCKER. LET’S TALK ESPORTS.

My boy Fahzix is still technically on Washington Justice, but it’s looking less and less likely that he will get any play time. With Ark and now Sleepy (from San Francisco) joining the team, the support squad is pretty deep. That’s a bummer because I think Fahzix could be more useful on the team now that appear to be running comms in English.

Meanwhile, I remain very worried about my Los Angeles Valiant, who continue to struggle even now that the Goats meta (three tanks, three supports, no damage) has diminished a bit with the recent balance patch. I know for certain that Space (off tank) and Custa (main support) have not lost a step since last season, but I can’t say the same for main tank Fate, who still has survivability issues that suggest his game sense might not be keeping pace with the game’s changes.

If the game sucks, let’s just talk about Overwatch League in the comments. Deal?
