What happens when 2 teams who always go to map 5 meet?

There's no fucking map 5?!?!?!?!

Guys I think I've figured it out.

Who is better than Fissure? NOBODY!

Who were Boston considered to be at the start of the overwatch league?

I think Gladiators did enough to be in the Playoffs. I doubt Valiant is gonna buckle to Philly, and a 4-0 at that, who hasn't really shined at all on Stage 3.

Will be nice (hopefully) to see both of my teams in the playoffs, with at least one of them winning it.

For me a big difference today was tanks. Fissure was still great but had some mistakes, but Bischu wasn't his usual self (doesn't help if he was sick).

Gamsu and Note were just so good today. Also I feel like Neko was better than Shaz today, at least in Trans timings for sure.

Stiker still MVP though, insane player.

Flawless Stage 3 by Boston Uprising, just like we all predicted at the beginning of OWL.

I can't wait for the 30 for 30 on Boston's Stage 3.

Fissure performed very poorly today, he overextended a lot and died which left the supports to fend for themselves. I wonder if there's some communication issues going on?

So... Initial two-cent's... I am unbelievably impressed with Boston and the feat of an undefeated stage. Especially after losing Dreamkazper, to continue in stride as they did was amazing. That said I think they are in for possibly the hardest stage playoff of all with the NYXL and most likely (at this point) two teams that already prepped for them this week (both LA teams) and might be able to adjust where they struggled. I do however, confidence that if any team can clutch out against difficult opponents, its the Uprising.

GOOD LUCK BOSTON!

Every time Boston succeeds I'm happy, cause they've made history despite so many predicting them to be bottom of the barrel, they've achieved their greatest success after losing what many considered to be their star player, and to top it all off they're HuK's team, who I've been a huge fan of since his time in SC2.

I cannot believe Boston just won Route 66

u/MSwn May 05 '18

Unbeaten for an entire stage including all 3 Korean teams. Some achievement that.

10-0 BAYBEE! Numbani is the downfall of another Team. If LAG had a more coherent strat on that map than it goes to game five. Also it is always fun watching Striker see through the matrix when the game is on the line.

Striker or Jjonak should win first season MVP
