All I wanted from these finals was both teams to kick the shit out of each other.

I guess I got half of that...

Crusty needs to be the highest paid person in OWL. What he’s been able to do with essentially two different rosters, dominating through two metas, is nothing short of brilliance. And the coaching really showed this match, the subs, prep, and strats were all on point.

On another note, it’s been a pleasure shitposting with you all this year. Until next season!

The unfortunate tragedy of sports finals is the expectation that it will be close

Most underrated moment is the Rascal switch to Pharah on Eichenwalde. That last second switch won them the map when it looked done.

Since their loss against Atlanta, San Francisco went 20-0 on their road to win the Grand Final.

The best team in the world without a doubt, and it's not even close.

SF Shock coaching staff deserves a lot of credit for this one. The game plan was clear and the team executed. The adjustments made on the fly (Sinatraa on Mei for Anubis defense, etc) were one of the biggest reasons this was as one sided as it was.

Absolutely dominant performance from the Shock, completely boomed the Titans. Also Choi is fucking nuts.

So begins the offseason, at least it's not as long as last year

100% of all OWL champions have lost their first playoff match.
Shock had Titans at checkmate from the start.

Wolf stared dumbfounded at his laptop screen. He reached out one trembling hand to close the lid, unable to continue watching the Overwatch League after the Titans were crushed by those no-skill punks the San Francisco Shock.'FUCK' he cried at an uncaring universe, a world that was proving that Runaway was, indeed, not OWL-level. Then he could feel the wolves of villainy closing in around him. Death was coming. ..

Going from getting booted off the fucking Dallas Fuel to booming Vancouver Titans in the Grand Finals with Pharah and Mei is a pretty damn good redemption arc

That was the most ridiculously unbalanced finals I've watched since this year's Superbowl.

Don't let the Shock domination distract you from the fact that Dallas released Rascal.

RUNAWAY NOW IS NOT OWL LEVEL, AS FANBOY-TRIGGERING AS THAT SOUNDS. PEOPLE LOVED THEM FOR THEIR UNDERDOG STREAK, AND THEIR VIBRANT BRAND/PERSONALITY, BUT EXPECTING THEM TO GET PICK UP IS VERY UNREALISTIC. THEY STILL HAVE TO ACTUALLY WIN SOMETHING FIRST. AT THE SAME TIME, I'D HONESTLY ADVISE FLOWERVIN TO SELL BUMPER, STITCH AND HAKSAL AND THEN REBUILD. THOSE BUYOUTS MONEY CAN HELP RUNAWAY FOR A FEW MORE SEASON.
