Why is there a “1” in the score column already for the Justice in the pregame?

Regardless, GO WASHINGTON JUSTICE! Get that win!

3

Hella bold, but I think Washington wins this. They’ve looked better since moving to Sombra GOATS, and Sansam is benched for Stratus today, so their Trip DPS will be better.

4

As long as they don’t try the same exact strategy that has lost them 17 matches (where they put their players on heroes that they know they cannot play), then this might be close.

I sincerely hope they looked at the tape for Washington Justice versus London Spitfire and have that in mind when deciding strats. Cos Justice could’ve very easily beaten London had Justice not swapped back to the same comp that lost them 17 matches (and counting).

5

Not sure how exciting this event is but one thing I do like is this venue. Very nice looking place. :+1:

6

im predicting fusion will win 3-1 but it could go either way honestly

7

8

Fixed. I had to do this new thread, pulled off on the side of the road.

So don’t expect too many immediate updates between matches.

I’m not saying after 1 map that we were right about Washington being 10x better when they get to play DPS, but that’s exactly what I’m saying

Letting Justice play the heroes they’re actually good with seems to be working better than shoehorning them into a comp their uncomfortable on. Also Corey is getting the better of Carpe :open_mouth:
