I’m gonna have to give this a watch. I usually only stick to Manni and Adrian content, but this clearly is a special video! Just a random moment that stands out... 27:17. Okay, so he sees the Sharanga because he's... focusing it with Gargantuas instead of the crowd of enemies? Then he... walks in front of the Sharanga he most definitely knows is there, and... shoots directly into the Fafnir reflector. Then he phase exiles that Fafnir... instead of the Sharanga that takes him out. There are people on this thread who offer the defense that developers are not paid to be good. But this not about "not being good." This is about achieving a kind of magnificence of badness--almost a ballet, in fact. A dance of bad timing, bad mechanics, bad matchups, bad movement, and bad targeting. About the only part of their game that isn't actively bad the teamwork, because it doesn't exist to be good or bad. And some element of teamwork is just map-reading and instinct. In that same game the YTbers do it--Manni goes in on red home and someone rotates to center to support him. All of us, at least from Diamond league on, do some amount of it every single game, and the higher you go in the leagues, you ideally would like to see more... I don't think the devs could reach Diamond league with a hangar of Ultimate Spectres.

Just before the Sharanga shenanigans:
"They're prepared better. they know their builds."
Uttered by a developer in response to the Fafnir having built in shieldbreaker via the pilot.
