Both teams already have a win record to advance to BlizzCon, however this match is important to win to have a better chance of avoiding South Korea in the opening round on BlizzCon.

Get the popcorn ready!

You just know they made that because of popcorn Moira

psst hey
go :canada:

:disappointed_relieved: I’m worried

same, USA isn’t messing around today. Losing a map to Brazil made a difference in their play psyche, almost.

I expected Canada to drop a map to USA, I did not think it would be this bad though.

THAT WAS A HUGE STUN.

This is some intense Overwatch.

LET GOOOO DUUUDE, canada !!!

its impossible to watch pro games anymore. after thousands of hours in the game, i cant understand what is gioing on. my monitor is going to explode from all this visual clutter.

USA looked really good today. They were over-agressive at times but showed a lot of perserverance by coming back in fights they had no business winning. I was very impressed with their grit and individual to pull things back when things looked bad. The tanks and healers really showed up, with great Ana performances and strong tank play overall.

I’m hopeful this could be the year. If it wasn’t for flower, last year would have been, but this year might just be it. Korea looked vulnerable with Finland really deserving to beat them, so I think any team in the top 8 has the potential to win this year.
