I don’t have a lot of faith in Boston winning this one, but I hope it’s not a stomping.

Hey everyone, I believe they have not activated Twitch Drops yet, please check in your game-account balances if possible I will follow up if I have any news from Blizzard on this.

Interested in seeing how this one goes, Boston effectively has a new roster. I don’t like that, I don’t like Huk, and I don’t like the stuff they pulled last season behind the scenes, but seeing new 'tendies talent is interesting.

Last time NYXL and Boston faced each other, I underestimated Boston and had to buy 5 of their skins. However I think only having 1 eligible DPS will see them lose this time. Especially considering how flexible Nenne is for New York.

3-1 NYXL

Hope he will. He was a big cornerstone for Brazil Gaming House, who dominated SA Contenders for two seasons (they broke up for season 3), and I think everyone witnessed his amazing Lúcio in the world cup.

Dude totally deserve the spot in the OWL. I’m just hoping he don’t choke in the first match.

What? I thought it was one of the new teams playing next?

(I just wish he wasn’t on Boston…)
