Thank you for your cooperation and enjoy the match!
The Fusion proved last week that just because they are high ping doesn’t mean they should be taken lightly. I think the Spark went into preparations this week knowing they should not rely on heavy ping as a winning factor.
That being said, I think the Fusion and the Spark will make this a bit more competitive than the last match. Fusion takes this one 3-2.
Thanks for the warning regarding the side effects experienced. Going in for my first dose of the COVID vaccine later this morning and I will definitely make sure that my alarms are set prior to me retiring to bed.
The Fusion win in a convincing fashion to keep pace with the Chengdu Hunters atop the leaderboard. Next match between the Fusion and the Hunters will determine who gets the 1 seed in the May Melee.
FINAL
Lijiang Tower (Control): Hangzhou Spark 2, Philadelphia Fusion 1.
Watchpoint: Gibraltar (Escort): Philadelphia Fusion 3, Hangzhou Spark 2.
Hanamura (Assault): Philadelphia Fusion 2, Hangzhou Spark 1.
Eichenwalde (Hybrid): Philadelphia Fusion 2, Hangzhou Spark 1.
FINAL SCORE: Philadelphia Fusion 3, Hangzhou Spark 1
PHILADELPHIA FUSION WINS!
The Fusion are now 3-0 and will face the Chengdu Hunters tomorrow in a BATTLE OF THE UNBEATENS, with the winner locking up the 1 seed in the May Melee.
That’s all the matches for now. Reminder that an encore replay featuring the Hunters and Excelsior will be live at 12:30pm Eastern (9:30am Pacific) for those of you in New York who might have been sleeping. Encore replays are eligible for tokens rewards, so be sure to check it out.
If you would prefer live matches instead, the Watchpoint preshow kicks off at 2:30pm Eastern (11:30am Pacific), leading into the first match of a tripleheader at high noon Pacific (3:00pm Eastern). See you then! If you’ll excuse me, I’m getting my first dose of the COVID vaccine…FOR SCIENCE!
