Guangzhou Charge vs. Shanghai Dragons - Summer Showdown Final - FINAL

Does anyone have the time index of the lucky shot through the banner? Nevermind, I found it. Checking Overwatch.

I can confirm that canvas (its technically not a banner) does not render at low settings, however it was so extremely high in the rafters making that instance more of a damn lucky shot rather than a rendering settings competitive advantage. It would be more of a problem if a user can remain suspended in that position indefinitely (which not even an Echo or Pharah can).

It was just after 2:20 on the clock on Guangzhou’s attack on Point C.

Interested to see how the devs respond to this…

What am I coming into?

The score is not what I expected it to be at this point.

Sounds like some major shenanigans happened so far.

Guangzhou Charge has been powering to super saiyan levels the past two months.

And the Genji buffs helped a lot.

Ultimate economy won that map. Remember everyone! Managing ults wins games!! (YES even in Gold or Plat!)

I missed most of this morning’s games, why is Diem being played over Lip in the finals? Last time Dragons experimented with their roster they were losing rounds to Chengdu.
Charge are also on a roll and are a legit contender to win this thing after the NYXL match and a reverse sweep probably isn’t going to happen again.

Also: PS4 had the result of this round logged before the round ended on website :rofl:

Edit: I think the game is too far gone, either Charge take this map regardless of player swaps and 4-0 this, or Dragons take a map or even two, but Guangzhou are probably gonna take this.

IDK about that Wyoming.

Ult economy is important - but I don’t think reserving ults would have helped the Dragons in the last round with the way that GZ just rolled over them on point A. They might have had a better time holding off the onslaught - but I think they were just delaying the inevitable with a 4 minute time bank on point B.

Wait. What comp are Shanghai running for round 2? McCree/Soldier and Winston/Sigma??

It is fairly obvious by now that the overwatch league is scripted. They had to make it so more games were played so they had it so that the charge wins a few maps and then the Shanghai dragons wins some maps to make it more interesting and extended just like they did for the May melee tournament

If Shanghai gets another reverse-sweep in a final, I would agree.

Oh, brilliant, the OWL hater trolls have showed up…
