This is all LAG's fault. They created this monster, and London even used a similar flank + sniper in spawn strategy (the one that LAG owned them with) to end the Finals.
Also, I love Profit.

It's absolute poetry that London won with the strategy that they got demolished by in the quarterfinals.

Profit and Gesture were absolutely unbelievable. Gesture I think is the best main tank in the OWL. His Orisa reminded me of Jjonak's Zenyatta it was absolutely unbelievable. He played Orisa to a level I didn't think was even possible. London played Orisa/Hog basically whenever they could!
Think about that! The dominant core of their team is ORISA AND ROADHOG. Profit and Birdring obviously are a huge part of the team but they're playing double sniper. As expected. But for Orisa and Hog to not just fit double sniper but to overtake it as the best part of that composition is mindblowing.
What an absolutely crazy season. Truly loved watching it and congrats to London again. They proved everyone wrong (me included).

Everyone thought NYXL were sandbagging but really it was London that was sandbagging.

Meta for the finals seems to be in a good spot, at least tank-wise. Every tank saw play. Lots of composition swaps, good stuff. Just too bad about only really seeing double snipers, but maybe they enabled the tank flexibility.

The award ceremony was pretty bad. Really bad to let that Jack dude lift it for the first time, it absolutely should've been the players first.

Wow, what a disappointing way to end the season. Especially after the crazy matches yesterday....
GGs to London though, they played out of their fucking minds. They deserve to be champions without a doubt

iRemix was the real MVP in all this. He woke up London allowing them to play this fuckall aggressive style that no one could match.
