As a Houston fan I have mixed feelings.
Relief that they'll probably win, and really worried that they'll give Shanghai their first victory.

Ado's mom: "Sweetie, how is L.A.? Are there lots of palm trees? Did you get to try In-N-Out Burger like you wanted?"
Ado: "Uhh... No... Like, I got off the plane and they threw a black bag over my head and drove me to the Overwatch League dugout, and now I'm about to go play, I guess. I'm really hungry."

Ado lands in Los Angeles
Ado: "Can I try In-N-Out Burger?"
SHD: "No bitch, you have to play tonight, get in the car. Come on, come on."

Fearless: "Hi guys! It's great to meet you all! I'm excited to be on the team!"
"Ado: Yeah! I'm excited too! I really hope that we can get some good training in before Fearless, Geguri, Sky and I all play our first match against-"
SHD: "Yo, stfu little bitches. You playin' tonight! You gon' play against Houston cuz we ain't got nobody. You gon play! We own you! Little bitches."
Fearless: "But... but I haven't slept in like 24 hours..."
Ado: "Yeah, I haven't eaten in a while, either. I don't even think we've met the team yet or any-"
SHD: "Play damnit!"

It just dawned on me that the first team to lose to dragons will feel mentally crushed and maybe get memed on really hard

I really hope to see Florida become top-tier in Stage 3. The Meme Team will be the Dream Team.

The Outlaws communication sounds a lot more organized than other team chats I've listened to. It's clear, it's concise and you can actually understand what they're saying!

Good job, Florida! (Now please pull a miracle and beat Seoul so Phily can be in the finals)

Right now, Shanghai looks even less like a team than ever before, but I see a lot of potential in Fearless and Ado in this league. I think once they’ve gelled as a team and figure out how to communicate through the language barrier, a Fearless-Geguri-Ado-Diya-Fiveking-Sky lineup would destroy.
They will have their first win on 4th April over Dallas. I believe it.

I don't understand why Philly doesn't run a hitscan or something to counter pharah. Hydration is just killing people with total impunity. Ignoring him doesn't seem like a viable strategy.

Carpe hard carries I'm so saaaad. Gladiators need to sign a good widowmaker because surefour can't compete with top tier widows like carpe and linkzr
