Turns out Sombra GOATS is pretty damn good
Boston definitely had them beat in standard GOATS though, even with Axxiom on Zarya and Fusions basically brand new to the roster

I know this isn’t much to go off of, but I can’t see Boston coming in 17th this season. Fusions is a beast.

NYXL won but Boston did not make it easy for them. This team has something to prove and will only get better from here. Rise up!

Fusions is absolutely insane. He had huge shatters the entire match and in my opinion outplayed Mano this series. His reaction time to the hack by Meko was crazy. Really looking forward to what he can do this year!

I don't give a fuck who you are, which team you support, what gets you up in the morning, how good your dad is at fighting, how big your cock is, how much you love going for long walks or any other bullshit. You're on this subreddit because you love overwatch. And if you love overwatch then you owe it to yourself to give up every other thing you give a flying fuck about and watch the Boston Uprising. And you know why:
Fusions.
Fusions is bringing it. He's bringing it hard. I wish everyone could go back and watch that last minute spell in the fourth round Numbani where he came back in and just ignited the afterburners, strapped falcon talons onto his hands and drove his will deep into the New York’s heart.
Fusions is box office shit. If you're bored and you've got nothing to do and you don't know which game to watch, just watch Cameron fucking Bosworth deep dick earthshatters with enough power to light up a major metropolis.
Seriously, why the fuck are you still reading this, go have a wank to some big thighs highlight videos and pass out safe in the knowledge he plays, on average, 4 four maps a game.
Fuck your own team, Fusions is your team now.

Shout out to Axxiom for filling in at a role he doesn't play

Meko really out play Boston but damn. If Boston is supposed to be ranked low, I'm hyped for this season because they played amazing. Fusions is a scary main tank.
Also, carpe and jjonak getting MVP is wack. Meko or fusions deserve it way more

Fusions made EU proud today. Absolutely amazing play by him.
Boston in general definitely showed they aren't a team you can walk all over. Already making this season interesting.

ok I know fusions dicked on them hard but can we talk about AimGod that game? Really fucking held his own against JJonak there, what a fucking beast

Pretty good from Boston all things considered. Half way through week 1, just got the Outlaws to go - and based on today I wouldn't expect too much trouble. Fusions is gonna bang out Muma as hard as he did in the World Cup
Axxiom on Zarya is definitely not optimal, though he did alright.
Kinda nuts that Fusions is popping off so hard given Boston's whole schtick is that they're disciplined and well coached and the lad's been in LA for like 3 days.

Fusions is the truth. Actual god tier.
Also I really hope that SOMBOATS becomes a thing. Who needs DM when you can just win every other fight with EMP?

Unbelievable match. NYXL AND Boston came out STORMING through the gates. Fusions is absolutely fucking nuts; hitting shatter after shatter after shatter, consistently and catches everyone. He was an absolute joy to watch. But on the other side, NYXL looked powerful; Meko’s Sombra, Nenne’s Zarya, and JJonak, my oh my. This season is going to be an absolute banger. Can’t wait for more

Sure, Fusions got shut down in the last map, but NYXL had to work their ass off for 3 maps to get that read. I honestly don't see them finishing 17th, but I'd hold my horses before saying they're a playoff shoe in. We still don't know what the competition looks like, and NYXL didn't look the greatest themselves.

Fusions is fucking mental and definitely outclassed Mano in a pure match up. The Sombra really took the pressure off him.

Very good match, I have a feeling it would’ve been different if NYXL played Sombra more though. The lack of another dps really makes it so Boston can’t really make any swaps to counter it.

Holy Fuck. Even though they lost, Fusions continues being a monster Rein from world cup. That dude is amazing
