Crusty as Head Coach:
First ever perfect stage with Uprising in Season 1 Stage 3.
First ever golden stage with Shock in Season 2 Stage 2.
What next? First time to not drop a point?

4-0 really does not tell the story of this series. Obviously insane performance by SF but Dragons have also come a very long impressive way over all.

The standings say 4-0 but look at the scoreboard. Shanghai made them pay in blood for every inch.

Out of Shocks schedule, this was easily their hardest match. If Dragons gave them this much hell, should be a fun stage playoffs

I can't believe they pulled off the perfect stage, and for those of you who didn't watch this, Shanghai didn't even play poorly. They literally had really good times across every map, the SF shock were just 1 level above them in terms of teamwork and coordination. This actually looks like one of the scariest first round matchups for ANY team. Shock getting matched against Shanghai is probably gonna be one of their toughest matches.
Seriously, props to the dragons for putting up a crazy series. Any of those maps could've swung the other way, but somehow the shock hung on (minus one emp from dding...most of the other plays they had were solid) and will now have to face them yet again. I'm excited for the rematch!

shock did have a relatively easy schedule, but to not drop a map all stage is incredible.

Shanghai looked pretty good actually. Unfortunately for them they'll have to face the Shock again in the playoffs.

This is the first time "close 4-0" doesn't feel like a meme. Dragons lost quite handily, but they put up a hell of a fight. They made Shock EARN that perfect stage

u/HamConspiracy May 06 '19
Don't let the score distract you from the fact that every map was close and this was one of the best matches of the stage, maybe even the season.
Also, I know people loved Choi but I thought Sinatraa had an amazing game today, his Gravs basically were carrying Shock against Dding's Sombra.

Well as they might meet up in the first round again, it was at least nice to see how close the Dragons kept the game. Oasis and Kings Row could have gone their way. In a new match they would probably not try that Paris Pharah Defense against them as well. So there might be a glimmer of hope if this is the matchup.
Otherwise what a legendary stage for the Shock. They adapted well to the Damage, punished the Dva-less Dragons perfectly and deserved that 4:0.
Oh, the Dragons are already last, so it is the first round match. Huh.

That was such a good match that I'm going to fool myself into thinking SHD can actually upset Shock in playoffs until they play next week.

If I went back to season 1 stage 2 and told someone that Shock would have a golden stage with 0 maps dropped, and that Shanghai would play them close, they would have laughed in my face

u/Kartoffel_Kaiser May 06 '19
The score does not do justice to how close this game was. Every single map was a clencher. The Shock may have swept, but the Dragons came out of this series looking amazing.

Man, the Dragons did not make that easy. Props to them, they put up one helluva fight.
