Then comes this engage, Frecia Gaming for the first time can try the Sombra+D.Va even though it’s not easy to do versus a super mobile composition like Goodssen Absolute but they could try bait the dive. On the other side Goodssen Absolute is filled with ultimates again, they will again engage right outside the gate to not give Frecia Gaming time to setup(maybe a bit too soon), starting right away with Hammond ultimate, engage outside gate is pretty good because even if they are trading kills or even if they lost the engage, as long as they got some kills it still goes into their advantage because of the close spawns.

Goodssen Absolute aggression didn’t payoff this time, team wasn’t really set up for the dive and Hammond engaged a bit alone with his ultimate, Frecia Gaming Lucio used his as an answer, got nothing, then Doomfist alone ultimate also got nothing they managed to get one kill but that isn’t really enough having used two ultimates already, Frecia Gaming just went to point used Sombra ultimate got more kills, now with Goodssen Absolute coming one by one on point to Sombra hacks from Frecia Gaming become pretty valuable thing is their composition lacks damage to really deal with Goodssen Absolute and without a wipe it will always be difficult to get that last point, and they end up turning it around and defending it.

For last engage in the final seconds Frecia Gaming switch to a full GOATS composition seeing this Goodssen Absolute switched from Genji to Junkrat and after that Frecia Gaming Brigitte went back to switch to Reaper, but game was pretty much lost right there.

Final Thoughts

So this might not have been the most interesting game to analyse since one team was just playing a GOATS+Sombra(Frecia Gaming) and the other a very aggressive full dive(Goodssen Absolute). Both compositions simply want to engage fast with usually the GOATS wanting to engage in a more closed space but with Doomfist in play it doesn’t work that much in their favor. In terms of compositions it was all pretty much in favor of Goodssen Absolute.

In my opinion the best time to play Sombra in a GOATS style composition is when the opponent got some kind of backline so that they can’t just sit at a distance alone spamming at the tanks, but even if they wanted to play the Sombra against a composition this aggressive and with no actual backline, maybe she should have tried playing more with the team and try get some hacks on the divers, because she was just flanking and most of the time Goodssen Absolute would just engage while she was still on her way around. Also they could have let their Sombra try farm more ultimate, just let her go ahead and farm some damage and come back, she would be pretty safe and her EMP in that composition is kinda the way to win the game.

A reason i talk so much about ultimates in this is because Frecia Gaming composition was very dependent on them to actually win a engage but even then Goodssen Absolute composition was better at getting them faster since they were playing against tanks and how the engages ended so fast giving no time for Frecia Gaming to get much ultimates. Even then Frecia Gaming didn’t try to go for a single ultimate combo not sure if they didn’t think on doing it or than when they wanted to do it maybe it was the engages where Goodssen Absolute did the early engages and it threw them off.

Overall it just seemed that Frecia Gaming just wasn't sure how to deal with Goodssen Absolute composition (even though they were the most dominant team in the other maps of the series), and just wanted to stick with their main plan even though it wasn’t really working. I actually don’t know if there is a tank composition that would be super effective against that “Tank Buster” dive, it would always be about the ultimates could have tried a Zarya and go for a better combo(they did get her in last seconds but too late) they had time for it and a wipe on that last point could have done it.
