Will Shanghai pull off their third upset victory? Will the Shock continue to rock the meta with their Baptiste comp? Will we see news about 2-2-2 coming to Stage 4 later tonight? Find out… NOW!

Their bap player is sick. He is a dangerous support.

Shock’s 3/3 with Bap instead of Brig is actually really fun to watch.

I’m too busy games designing myself to watch

So far today we’ve had:

  • The first Wimbledon Final to go to a 5th Set tiebreaker
  • The Cricket World Cup Final going to a Superover, and then coming down to the final ball

Good things come in 3s. Shanghai, San Francisco, you’re up

the WoW community as a whole is rooting for Shanghai here yes? not just cause of the the whole cinderella 0-40 -> stage champs thing…but also cause DPS vs Tanks/Supports?

It does feel kinda surreal how quickly it’s gone from everyone wanting Shanghai to just get 1 win, to wanting them to win an entire stage. Even with all the roster changes

Really hoping Dragons can pull off the win.

From worst to first…hopefully.

Oh… Julie is mad about something… there must be a bad sign in the crowds.

Is it the “1v1 me Bren” sign?

No idea, will wait for the VOD of the preshow to go live and I will try to find out.

Eh, I had faith they had a chance against New York, I had faith that it was possible they might beat Vancouver… This time around, I just feel Shock will have an answer, the team is clearly very adaptable.

Either way, I am pulling for the Dragons.

Ah cmon, why did they have to show both the Fusions and Kruise replays :cry:

Watch a season of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.

Somebody needs to clip Sideshow’s WutFace and make that a new emote.

I’m predicting the longest match in pro Overwatch history, tonight it goes to 9 (NINE) maps
