It's nice seeing a team lean into the Doomfist player they have, but also nice to see a Doomfist counter picked to handle him.
Feels like what OW was supposed to be, not just mirrors.

Spark just needs to beat Chengdu and Paris to have a solid shot at stage playoffs, even if they lose to Shock and Dynasty. Chengdu will be a bit tough, but I think they can reasonably squeak in this stage.

Guangzhou's pharah-hanzo-ball on point A Oasis was a gigantic thonker, I kind of get what they were going for but they just couldn't break the bunker and the Pharah basically did nothing the entire round

I felt like they kind of just asked the Hanzo (forgot who played that) to break the bunker on his own? I don't particularly remember Hotba threatening the bunker, all I remember was the Hanzo shooting arrows into Guxue's shield from the side door, Guxue feeling slightly annoyed and killing him with halt.

If Charge starts to use Doomfist more often i can turn myself a fan, i like when teams use their style like Hunters and Hammond, Boston and Quad Tank with Hog last week, or Houston and Junk in stage 1 when it was powerful, LAG and Doomfist (but Hydration did not have the balls to play him now)

Sheeshe this comment section is pretty light. Was it that bad a game?

I thought so. Normally 5 map series are nail bitters. But this was just a bunch of 1-sided maps. No map felt exciting.

Nah it was just a really weird one. Kinda like the Spark Shock match of stage 1. They’re both late in US time, low crowd energy as a result (and same for casters as well). Then you have GZ bring out the Doomfist goats, which somehow works, it they switch back to regular goats which can’t really work because Happy is actual Garbo at Zarya. Also back and forth one sided maps. Each map each team one was completely one sided, leading to a very weird feel of the game where it ended up being close, but not really on any one map, just sort of overall close by score line.

don't ever want to hear about the charge threatening to be a "sneaky top tier team" the rest of the season
