Even during breaks, the sound of the arena is cacophonous. Between commentary and game sounds, cheers and straight up blood-curdling screams, the Overwatch League is not for the faint of heart. It is beautiful, even in its overstimulation – the stadium is bathed in various team colors throughout the day and the art of the upcoming map periodically consumes the stage.
Dallas’ underperformance is the result of a myriad of factors, but there are three notable culprits...
Jake favors Junkrat more than anyone because he is the best at it, and if Dynasty could not handle Spitfire’s Junkrat, then they are in for a rude awakening tonight.
Fusion will be a wild card of the League, capable of taking maps from the very best and giving maps to the very worst. Their individual skill is remarkable, but their teamplay must improve with each and every game if they intend to join the best in the playoffs.
This is not to say that the status quo is to be accepted. There is an unacceptable discrepancy between male and female players and broadcast talent in the League – but it is not a discrepancy of Blizzard’s making.
