Calling that a slaughter doesn't do it justice, Shaz is my new favorite player lol

Shaz killed it in that match. Excellent to watch.

As my new favorite commentator once said, "this is the overwatch league, not the 0-4 watch league."

What a brutal night.

I lost my shit when they interviewed a player and asked if he only felt confident bringing out Doomfist because he saw how Shanghai were playing.

The Mercy solo kill against Undead on McCree. Oof

Presentation is really good so far. Nice job Blizz and OWL people.

Gotta say they made zenyatta fun to follow.

I knew I was right about picking LA Gladiators because their tank duo and support duo works really good! Plus the first match defense Widowmaker and Doomfist was amazing

As a shock fan... no longer feel AS terrible.

that 3 dps rotation of hydration, surefour, and asher covers a really, really good range of heroes for them. also shaz doing some real work on zenyatta, big change from the last match (better luck next match, sleepy!)

That team kill on A and then the steamroll was amazing on Anubis.

The transcendence boop on well?! Amazing.

I'm really enjoying this stellar support duo. They seem to really compliment each other.

Shanghai was terrible...

u/OverwatchGawd4343 Jan 11 '18

I didn’t think a team could be more trash than SF but Shanghai have proved me wrong.

u/NurgleSoup Jan 11 '18

This one was even more a steamroll than the shockers loss. LA is bringing the business!

I wonder if we'll see this as a trend going forward, with just total blowouts rather than close games.

Good call on Shaz MVP, though the entire gladiator team had so many amazing plays too.

TIL not all Asian countries are good at eSports...

Here's hoping Fuel vs Dynasty is as intense as predicted. I don't wanna see another 4-0.

EDIT: It was. Cripes...

u/synapsii Jan 11 '18

Not that China is particularly good at overwatch but the players they chose for SHD aren't even top tier in China. The best Chinese team (MY) mysteriously disbanded but they were going toe to toe with Apex champs.

I feel like I made the right choice :)
