I think it’s weird that there are so many links about how to get the streaming rewards, but no link for the actual stream. Surely a thread that announces live streaming events should include a link to the stream, right?

Hog is still the only hero not used right? Or did he get thrown out in the earlier matches?

And that’s the second Charlie Niner of the morning…and that’s the second snowman’s head to go flying!

Correct, one team I think picked him for a few seconds just to try and trick any Sombras that were around (before the would-be Hog player proceeded to pick Winston or Zarya), and another team panicked swapped to him in an attempt to nullify the increasing defense spawn timer on Hanamura…but as far as actually being picked and actually seeing a fight, he is the only hero who has not been picked thus far.

Today must be “Quick Result Day”, cos all 3 matches have gone to match point by the time halftime was reached…

NEXT UP: HALFTIME, followed by the second half of Fusion vs. Valiant. The Philadelphia Fusion are on MATCH POINT.

Oh Ana…

Hmmm clipping on mobile not working properly it seems

You know these shutouts worked out rather nicely…I can go watch the F1 race without having to use a split screen now

And like that, all matches complete and ahead of schedule!

FINAL

Busan (Control): Philadelphia Fusion 2, Los Angeles Valiant 1.

FINAL SCORE: Philadelphia Fusion 3, Los Angeles Valiant 0

PHILADELPHIA FUSION WINS!

The Philadelphia Fusion goes 2-0 on the weekend by taking out the Seoul Dynasty and the Los Angeles Valiant with relative ease. A win next weekend will likely be enough to put the Fusion into the May Melee. Meanwhile, the Valiant steal a map against the Hunters but fail to generate a ton of noise otherwise, and now need to be practically perfect in their remaining 2 matches to even have a remote shot of making the May Melee.


That’s it for now. If you happened to miss the start of the match or you fell asleep and as a result you missed the Fusion vs. Valiant matchup, there is an encore replay of this match being aired at approximately 12:30pm EDT (9:30am PDT), which will lead right into Watchpoint (time is subject to change, it might be a little closer to 1:00pm PDT).

If live matches are more your thing, the final day of Opening Weekend for the NA region will kick off at 3pm EDT (12pm PDT), with the Watchpoint: Preshow starting 30 minutes prior at 2:30pm EDT (11:30am PDT). That means you have a little under 4-6 hours to get some sleep, watch the F1 race, or do some Sunday morning shopping. See you then, folks!

Encore is about to go live everyone! Remember watching it is token eligible!
