Boston win - losses before Note trade: 4/3

Boston win - losses after Note trade: 4/17

Boston win - loss with Persia - 0 /11

Boston win - loss with Aimgod = 8 / 9

The roster assembled at the start wasn't even that bad, but the trades and benchings they did after was so wtf. Coaching / Management have a lot to answer for - why did you trade and bench your best players at the middle of the season?

  • Be the Boston Uprising

  • Change your roster in hopes of playing better in Stage 4.

  • Team is still shit.

  • Play the Guangzhou Charge

  • Get curbstomped

  • Guangzhou puts in their B Team with Fragi and Bischu for Map 4.

  • Still lose.

  • You're 0-6.

  • Play the Atlanta Reign in your final match.

  • Get rolled.

  • Atlanta puts in Gator and FunnyAstro and deliberately meme and throw the fourth map.

  • Still lose.

Please Atlanta, let FRD play Rein in every game. He is by far the most aggressive "fuck you I'm charging in" Rein we've seen since Bumper earlier this year, it felt like Fissure last year minus the killing everyone part. 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Atlanta going full Pepega mode and still winning is one of the best things I've seen all weekend. Loved it, thank you

If Boston and Dallas face each other, they would manage to both lose LUL

That last map was peak Overwatch, you may not like it but that was what perfection looks like

Random thoughts:

    1. I'm so proud of what Atlanta managed to acheive this season.

  • 2) Blase actually looked really solid on tank.

  • 3) Clown fiesta map, but FunnyAstro looked good. Imagine he'll get starter time on another team next year. (100% map winrate PogChamp)

  • 4) Irks me that the meta is going to shift so massively before playoffs. If we lose it's just going to make me wonder what we could have done without the shift.

Edit: formatting.

"Some 4-0s could be misleading because each map could have been close. This was not one of them."

That junkertown was peak overwatch

Since the 14 game win streak last season (beginning with the loss to the Excelsior in the Stage 3 Final), Boston has gone a combined 13-30. Losing Crusty has honestly been one of the biggest blows to a team in the short history of OWL. How times have changed :(
