Time to see if Taimou can bring Finland back to relevance this year. They were eliminated in group stages last year I believe.

3

He was looking pretty good in the final stage of owl, there’s a good chance he shows he’s still one of the best.

4

I want to see Davin over Linkzr tbh

5

I’m finding Jake commentating so surreal

6

There are 5 Overwatch League teams in addition to Contenders representatives that represent Team Finland. This will be interesting.

7

That’s my boi, Zappis bringing the Mayhem

Finland QUAD TANK in play!

Um… nevermind

10

Slambulance? Finland making out like they’re Gigantti

11

Eh. They went Goats instead.

12

Skins all look real good. Wonder if they would put them on the market.

13

I’m noticing that just like with Russia, it’s a Zen variant on Goats though, instead of sticking with the Moira

14

It is not optimistic and it goes back to the player icon flag problem that Game Director Jeff Kaplan stated yesterday:

15

I cant watch it today :frowning:
How teams are doing? Wh is better?

16

Russia and South Korea 4-0’d their starting rounds. Finland looks to be doing the same.

Yeah, it would be nice to have my country’s fag in game as an icon but not optimistic about that.

OW World Cup skins should be up though.

Russia v Hong Kong was a murder
South Korea v Chinese Taipei was very tight, even in the expected 4-0
