hmnmmmm, so hard to predict result… hmmmm
:smiley:

i wanted to go with “does washington take a single point?”…but then SF laid an egg against Houston earlier in the stage…so anything is possible…but still i wonder…

My heart wants the Justice to win, but my head knows the London will probably sweep this 4-0 with a quadruple bagel…

This just doesn’t seem fair. I’m a huge Justice fan (for various reasons, the most being “cos AMERICA!”), but the Justice seem to be floundering.

Anyways, while we wait for the matches to get started, I am noticing something:

As most of us diehard OWL fans know, recently the Outlaws were acquired by the organization that owns the L.A. Valiant (for the time being until a more permanent buyer for the Outlaws can be found). As of late, both the Valiant and the Outlaws have been on the rise.

So can I safely assume the Outlaws will go back to being a crap team after a more permanent owner is found for them?

i support underdogs mostly… but this time i just cant see how WJustice is going to do it… i hope they will, but i doubt that my math teatc…i mean Janus is going to win alone against LSpitfire

The biggest problem for Justice is not building a team around any one specific standout player. A lot of these players a good but not team-defining. I think this match will exploit their weakness as not playing as unit.

First artwork was halfway decent…the last 2 were likely painted by a first grader who failed art class at the elementary school down the street from where I live.

At least we can feel safe that none of them will likely be applying for the open Graphic Designer position for Overwatch League.

I myself might apply for it if I can spiffy up my portfolio with my most recent (and better) work.

Justice is so confusing to me. They have such good players individually. On paper, they should be doing great.

In fairness, Outlaws have always been great when they play to their strengths. They’ve just spent way too much time trying to force the meta, which they clearly aren’t good at. Getting away from that is why they beat Shock and that’s why they’ve done so well for this whole stage. I hope they keep it up. They can show us the way. Even NYXL and Spitfire barely used GOATS last night. I have hope!

Corey use of mei ult was on bronze level :open_mouth:

oooo… and Sleepy looks preety much awake

POGchamp, Justice leads! :OOOOO

Kind of surprised Justice took that map, I was thinking this was going to be an quick 4-0 for London. I guess we might have a more entertaining game on our hands.

Early days, but Washington look a lot better today. Or rather, they look like they’re giving Janus a lot more support.

Ado appears to be an upgrade on Zarya. Corey has regularly shown he’s more comfortable on DPS, and whilst Sansam still seems to be a poor Brig, it’s a sideways move from Ado’s Brig in terms of how much support it provides

X9

Well, the good news is that the London Spitfire have finally woken up and realized “We’re better than this.”

Bad news is that Washington just committed a Charlie Niner…against the kings of C9s.

i am actually in shock right now :scream:
they actually might do it!

Never mind, London just snatched a draw from the jaws of victory…

London’s coach better find a way to wake them up during halftime, or London will be the laughingstock for the next week…

Ok, what did I just witness? What was the point of Stratus using a cardboard box as a flotation device…

Basically Ado is giving Janus the support he needs and it shows
