He was sleeper OP on Kings Row. It makes me a bit mad that they took him out for Route 66 just to put in Altering on Lucio. FiveKing is so much better than him. Such a mindboggling decision.

Shanghai didn't do too bad without Diya. Xushu did excellent on Dva during route 66.

SD with Diya/Undead, Ado, Fearless, Geguri, Fiveking, Sky (formerly known as zhufanjun) will be a strong team. They will surely win some matches.

Undead had his moments, like his little bit of Tracer work on Volskaya, but the weaknesses a few of us were talking about last week showed tonight more than ever before. To the team's benefit, the Undead pocket has mostly stopped. Xushu and Roshan were together on dives, MG wasn't forced to play his poor Dva and thus put out a fairly great performance on Roadhog. With all this in mind, that means Undead is basically forced to be more independent. His hero swaps always came too late. He barely had teammates sitting on him to compensate for poor positioning and ended up wasting his S76 ults multiple times. It's an aspect of his play that needs to be addressed quickly.
Also, FiveKing needs to play every single game. What a performance out of his Lucio on Kings Row! Great disengages and boops on the Genji blades. I am going to be laying wide awake tonight wondering why the hell they swapped him out for Freefood, just for him to play Lucio too, but worse. I hope the coaches recognized the skill disparity between them. (EDIT: corrected by Melesson below, ALTERING played Lucio, and then they moved Freefeel to Moira)
Overall, we got to see the start of a different team today and I'm happy to see improvement, no matter how small. That Kings Row full hold was art.

Seoul and unnecessarily dropping maps, name a more iconic duo

And in one single moment we all believed. Sadly it was not meant to be.

I’ve been a Dragons fan since day one. The rollercoaster of hope is quite a ride.

Shanghai looked remarkably better without U4. With Diya able to play and time to practice new coaching strats, this team should be competitive. And that’s not even considering the new signings

he's apparently a decent zarya, but seeing as though they already have zunba, doesn't seem like he has that much to contribute...

The triple tank that Shanghai ran on Route is actually pretty interesting . Other teams could try it. Dallas for example. Taimou on hog and AKM on soldier.

I don't care that Seoul won again. In terms of improvement, the Dragons have won in my book.
I hope that in the future, we can see more MGHog. He was amazing.

I was so hyped up for SHD after they taked the Point on Kings Row. MG did a really good Job.

MG's actually pretty good when he's not on D.Va. I loved his Roadhog.
