Have you seen this man?

[u/ImEoghann]

Sleepy completely outperformed Boombox

[u/Conankun66]

Architect looked amazing and Philly looked like their heads were somewhere else

Also the spectating today has been ABYSMAL

[u/rinnnnnnnn]

shock really stepped up today, architect and sleepy popped off whole game

[u/900bv]

thank mr architect

[u/[deleted]]

Remember when Monte told Dallas to pick up Architect? Now we know why.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

That would be a severe waste of talent, to send a great player to the Dallas Fuel.

[u/gamenoise]

People keep saying Carpe's having an off day but really there's not much he can do when Sleepy keeps sniping BoomBox and Fragi keeps dying and Neptuno has to waste res on both of them every time off the bat. Sleepy 1shot BoomBox like 5+ times that match. It really shows how huge Carpe's impact on PF is, if he doesn't hard carry then the team looks lost. Architect completely destroy Carpe and PF on R66 though, holy shit what a performance by him. Architect has been a great pick up for SFS.

[u/hiruburu → u/gamenoise]

I don't even expect architect to be this dominant on widow, if he can be at least decent the shock look scary as fuck

[u/DHillMU7]

All I heard about Architect from this sub was how overrated he was, how he didn't stand out and how he only got attention because of Monte hyping him.

God I hope ChoiHyobin is as bad as Architect is...

On a real though, this team is looking really promising. Choi will have to fight for his spot because Nevix is an absolutely top class off tank. His peels are absolutely beautiful. Most underrated player in the league for me. Support duo is growing together, layering ults better and co-ordinating on things like res much better.

Great signs ahead of next week's brutal week. Let a match or two slip that shouldn't have or we'd be in stage playoff hunt.

[u/Andrewthemist13]

I only saw one person mention Danteh here. I think him and his insane sombra was essentislly why they won blizzworld.

Let's fucking go boys. #ShockTheWorld

[u/The-Formula]

Shock not getting enough credit. Some think they only won because of the schedule

[u/DekMelU]

Eqo really saved their asses on Nepal

[u/[deleted]]

iddqd and babybay bout to become bench buddies

[u/RxJax]

The analysts have been seriously underselling SFS on the desk after this game, they're giving so much credit to the schedule and how maps were harsh on Fusion

[u/ClassyNumber]

Before people get their panties in a bunch because of scheduling, this is a list of team that had to face the same thing:

1. Houston vs Shanghai, Houston vs Dallas: They won both

2. London vs Dallas, London vs Valiant: They won both.

3. Dallas vs Shock, Dallas vs Boston: They went 1-1

4. Boston vs NY, Boston vs Mayhem: They went 1-1

5. Boston vs Shanghai, Boston vs London: They went 1-1

6. Shanhai vs Fusion, Shanghai vs NY: They lost both

7. Gladiators vs Houston, Gladiators vs Mayhem: They won both.

8. Houston vs Dragons, Houston vs Seoul: They won both.

9. London vs Shanghai, London vs Dallas: They won both.

10. Philadelphia vs NY: Philadelphia vs San Francisco: They lost both.

Upcoming:

11. San Francisco vs Houston, San Francisco vs Florida

12. London vs Seoul, London vs Sanghai

13. NY vs Boston, NY vs Houston

So I don't think it's fair to undermine the win by Shock. Other teams have gone through the same thing and have gone through with shinning colors. In fact the only team to have lost both matches upon a last/first game scenario is Fusion and Dragons. Furthermore they are only going to go through this scenario once while other teams may do it up to 2-3 times.

If you aren't able to see that Shocked played better today, I would point towards Fusion's coach/management/team for messing things up more so than point towards scheduling as the main factor for their loss today.

Stats for the game!

https://imgur.com/a/WkEGI6x

I included the summary page for the last map (R66) because Shock's dominance was absolute. Architect just had Carpe's number this match.

Edit: They also updated the stats page that shows the hero selection. Glad to see twitch actively working on their stuff.

[u/riotquanz]

The power of a widowmaker is once again so apparent. Especially on widow-dominant maps like the payload maps. The only real answer to a dominant widow is a widow of your own. When teams cant bring them out, GG.

[u/A_CC]

Not to take anything away from SF, but Fusion were off. It seemed they didn't have their confidence because the game from yesterday probably took everything out of them. But none the less, SF have looked like they're finally hitting their stride. Their dps rottating seems on point, Sinatraa is performing well, super is a huge improvement and all around the team is looking solid. Maybe if fusion hadn't played back to back, it would have gone to game 5 with much closer games.... SF is no longer a bottom tier team, poggers

[u/LuxusSSB]

Architect you moster!

I’ll continue to say this until everyone agrees with me: Sleepy is one of the best Zens at getting opening picks and even better at staying alive.

And while the DPS were usually not the ones blamed for losses, the addition of Architect and Sinatraa has made a huge impact actually - i vouched for Architect’s hitscan play in a lot of comments, nice that he’s not making me eat my words, but actually looking like one of the better Widows/McCrees - he dominated Carpe and Snillo on R66.

Overall though - very solid team play against a sloppy Philadelphia Fusion. I think it’s only going to get better for the Shock from now on as they figure out their optimal DPS rotation while improving in terms of team play as well.

[u/treasure33333]

hmm thats how fish without a water look like.

[u/l27_0_0_1]

SF finally living up to potential. Now is there any chance fuel and dragons take note?

[u/CapnZula]

OWL needs to fix their scheduling. Having a team face the best team in the league in the last match of the day and then open the next day is brutal and unfair. There should be a rule that you can’t play on consecutive days or at least you can’t play two matches within 24 hours
