This has the potential top be another map 5 game. I think Seoul will take it in the end, but Charge have surprised me in the past.

4

is it just me or music that teams use does not fit them walking out to stage??

5

As it currently stands the best possible season result from here on out for the Charge is 15-13 +7, the Dynasty is 17-11 +30. Dynasty is in their own control to reach season playoffs, the Charge would need help from other teams to clinch Season Playoffs. However, both are well in control of their fate for at least the top 12.

6

loving this new meta, even if we see orisa more often now, getting to see heroes like Reaper, Doomfist, Pharah and even mccree again sooo much more interesting thatn Goats. over and over again~

7

yea, but very often theres reap-mei combo… too often id say

8

I actually like it when we see the rare Junkrat. And kinda feel we do need more dps heroes too now.

9

This is proving to be a really good match.

10

Somehow seoul seems weak at 66. Or is it just my memory unclear

11

Third game 5 today, it was a good day.

Hell of a way to end the day. Three map 5s and all going to the third point. This was also a 99-99, we were spoiled today.

15

Looking ahead to tomorrow’s matches, here is what to expect.

  • Boston Uprising vs. Washington Justice
    Boston, still winless in Stage 4, looks to be in a world of trouble if they lose this match against the season-eliminated Justice. While they won’t be mathematically eliminated from Season Playoff contention, will be forced to win their four remaining matches (Mayhem, Valiant, Excelsior, Reign) afterward to even have a remote chance to get in.

  • Dallas Fuel vs. Los Angeles Gladiators
    Dallas is in a similar boat and they will be facing against the far more formidable Los Angeles Gladiators and they can only afford realistically one loss overall to avoid elimination. Gladiators can clinch the first-round bye in the play-in tournament with a win.

  • San Francisco Shock vs. Shanghai Dragons
    Shanghai may have upset the Shock for the Stage 3 title, but their identity has long since been lost with the 2-2-2 rule change. Hopefully, the full-week break they were given in week 2 will allow them to shape their team for the new Snow Blossom Meta. If they can upset the Shock one more time, the Titans clinch the Pacific Division.

  • Hangzhou Spark vs. New York Excelsior
    Both these teams are not yet settled into the Snow Blossom Meta yet either. New York is still chasing the Vancouver Titans for first place overall and will need this win to strength those chances of catching up. Hangzhou, on the other hand, is struggling to stay in the Top 6 and losing this will open the window for the mid-tier teams to overtake.

See all of you tomorrow!
