However, it’s not all doom and gloom for Dynasty fans as the team is firmly entrenched in the overall playoff race, at least for now. The Seoul Dynasty have also looked out of sorts this Stage after finishing in fourth in both Stage 1 and 2. Starting at the bottom, The London Spitfire look like they’re going to miss the playoffs for the first time all season and the team has looked like a shell of their Stage 1 and 2 selves this time around. This category may as well be called the Biggest Letdown, because, save for the Shock, all of these teams have enjoyed top of the League success in the past two Stages and underperformed in Stage 3. The London Spitfire sit at three wins and five losses and need a miracle in order to qualify. The Houston Outlaws, Philadelphia Fusion, Seoul Dynasty and San Francisco Shock all sit at four wins and four losses and are very much in a must-win situation in week five. In spite of that, the team holds a very high +13 map differential, and if Agilities can keep making plays like the one featured below, then the Valiant should be more than okay. They face the table-topping Boston Uprising as well as the always dangerous Philadelphia Fusion, and they will need to dig deep to avoid losing their place in the playoffs. That being said, the Valiant has struggled a little in the past two weeks, losing to the Houston Outlaws and London Spitfire, and need to step it up in week five. The team has looked rejuvenated in Stage 2 off the backs of their new signings Joon-hyuk ‘Bunny’ Chae and Scott ‘Custa’ Kennedy as well as the rejuvenated play by Canadian phenom Brady ‘Agilities’ Girardi. Valiant is currently holding down the #3 spot and can guarantee themselves a spot in the playoffs with at least one win in their final week’s matchups.
would create a level of excitement yet unseen in the Overwatch League so far.Īs for the actual teams, the L.A. The two teams possess arguably the best rivalry in the League and having a playoff version of The Battle of L.A. teams are playing well at the same time and it would be even more fitting to see their play culminate in a Stage 3 playoff showdown. It seems fitting that the Overwatch League’s two L.A. They also possess arguably the best Tracer player in the world in Nam-joo ‘Striker’ Kwon and he has regularly dazzled with plays like the one featured below. As for Boston, they are easily the most surprising team in the league this season and haven’t lost a match this entire stage. The team is very much led by its support players Libero and Ark, and they will need to continue their dominance if NYXL wants to repeat as champions. They’ve only dropped one match this Stage and that was against the Uprising. NYXL has been dominant all year and were very much expected to compete for every championship in the Overwatch League’s inaugural season. At the top, NYXL and the Boston Uprising are the only teams that have clinched playoff spots and the focus for them this week will very much be trying to capture that hallowed top seed. Going into week 5, there are an astounding nine teams that have a shot at making the Stage 3 playoffs, showing major strides in league-wide parity. That being said, he’s a suspect choice on defence, where he is supposed to be played, so Jake using him on offence was unexpected, to say the least.
The issue is that at the Overwatch League level players are very skilled at destroying turrets and Torbjörn’s lack of mobility and underpowered gun make him a suspect choice at best. Now for those who are unfamiliar with Torbjörn, he’s a hero who uses a turret, a blaster and a hammer. He surprised the Gladiators, the casters, all the fans in the Blizzard arena, those watching at home and even my grandma who doesn’t even know what an Overwatch is, by switching to the Swedish defence hero known as Torbjörn. Entering map two, with his team down 1 to 0 to the L.A. This moment came courtesy of Houston Outlaws DPS player Jacob ‘Jake’ Lyon and it can only be described as wondrous.
