Agreed! One thing I found while at Atlanta is that HOT doesn't look all that dominant on the webcast, but when you can watch them and them alone for the whole match, you finally realize how dominant they are. I rarely saw them get pinned, they never got stuck in the clusters, and when they wanted to dump, they just found someone and dumped without needing an extensive chase. From what I could tell, they even did this when someone was trying to defend against them. The webcast tends to just catch them dumping, which doesn't showcase the rest of what they do. I still don't know how they do it.
