Today is gonna be AWESOME! First some APAC Overwatch League, then I join WyomingMyst amongst the ranks of those who received his/her first dose of the COVID vaccine (and I will be getting my first dose at the LEGENDARY Indianapolis Motor Speedway), then some more Overwatch League to close out my day. Your Honor, we have reached a verdict, we find today’s schedule to be freaking AWESOME!

Anyway…Hunters vs. Excelsior. As much as I am personally a fan of the Excelsior, I think the Hunters are on top of their game this May Melee. Excelsior won’t go home empty-handed this week, but I think the Hunters will clinch a very close one against the NYXL. I predict 3-2 in favor of the Hunters.

Edit: Wait a sec, who is this Victoria Perez? Nothing against her, just wondering who she is…

Vikki has been casting NA/EU Contenders for the past year. She has also casted in Smash tournaments before as well.

I changed my pred to New York winning last minute based on a tweet from Reinforce. I hope I won’t regret it…

Man she is a FIRE caster.

She’s spittin faster than Twista and Busta Rhymes with perfect clarity.

RapGod.

VikkiKitty is clearly a pro at this.

I should have checked the map pool…

Dorado is one of the best Pharah maps.

I’m never taking pick’em advice from Johnny again.

I now have a newfound respect for Vikki, as she’s casting this match with perfect clarity.

Unfortunately for those of us trying to earn some tokens, the Hunters are turning this into a speed run.

Chengdu are out the Chengdu zone. Not having to play around a Ball OT has worked wonders for them.

They are assimilating everyone into the Chengdu Zone! NYXL didn’t get a single point throughout the whole match. Damn.

The Hunters pitch the OWL equivalent of a perfect game, and are now almost certain to go to the May Melee.

Do we have any data on whether this was the fastest match so far? Or is it still Seoul - Guangzhou?
