there's been a bit of something for everyone today
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT Valiant played a mad series, this is gonna be a fantastic match tomorrow
I hope so, but I have a sinking feeling that Shock are gonna clown all over Valiant. The Valiant tank line is...not amazing, and if Shock is good at anything, it's exploiting enemy weaknesses and mismatches. I really hope it's a close game, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up.
Now PHI/FLA on the other hand, has the potential to be an absolute banger. Philly is still the favorite I think, but if Yaki can show up again like he did today, it's gonna be entertaining if nothing else.

Yeah... I mean if they can beat Paris then I think there's at least a chance, but the one time they beat Shock was by all counts a fluke due to a bad meta read - now that it's no hero pool I think their chances go down a fair bit.

Paris is definitely no Shock, but I can imagine a scenario where Valiant takes it. It's just going to take Valiant playing at their best (they'll have to do better than what they did against Paris, for example). They'll also have to hope Shock drops the ball a few times, because Shock doing just okay is still better than a good chunk of the league at their best.

NYXL/SHD
This is sure looking one sided! Says a lot about how good SHD are looking this season IMO.
As an aside, I think late night Bren/Sideshow are my favorite casting duo.
Feels like Seoul should just play dive vs dive. They've looked really sharp in the mirror matches, but instead they're trying to play an anti-dive thing and it's just not working
Kana on

I'm hoping this will be as good as the APAC finals, but it's still incredibly awesome to see Florida improved so much.
It went about how I expected, but I'm glad Florida was at least able to take a couple of maps. Very excited to see how they shape up for the rest of the season.
aww man, I hopped on a little earlier to see what the daily event was, it was the six different Archive events with a free box for each one. i figured it had already switched for the day so i hopped off to get food, by the time i got back on it had switched to lucioball
i assume it'll come back around again, but i really wanted those 6 boxes
(unless they're non-event boxes, in which case whateva)

Fuuuuucccckkkk yeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
Ugh I'm still catching up on weekend Overwatch League. There are so many matches!
lucioball is fine, but i get bored of it pretty quick. no extra loot box and i've already got the few achievements that come with it, so i'd rather just play mystery heroes or qp classic

They're event boxes, but for some reason those challenges are actually hard. I tried them all a few times and only beat the Storm Rising one where everyone has life-steal. All of the Kings Row ones were really easy until the door blew and then we got completely destroyed every time.

My advice for the last phase of Uprising is to take it slow and use cover. As soon as you get in, use that door as cover and kill the first Orisa, then go in and take an immediate right into the side hall. Use that small wall to peek the Bastion (Baptiste is great here if you have him). Then work down that hall to the corner where the pit is in the normal game. Fight that Orisa then use the corner to peek the Bastion in the window. Cross over to the left side hall and use the last corner to peek the back left Bastion then take the last two Orisa's one at a time. If tank Bastion's spawn just back up and be ready with cooldowns to protect yourselves.

For anyone that missed it (first point of map 1 of Gladiators/Fusion):
literally unbelievable
