So they finished 14 and 17 last season, and PlatChat power-ranked them at 14 and 17 again.

Oof, this is a lame match to kick off the season.

Mei play is really poor rn, it seems

Mei's prevalence is making me excited for the Spark though; I think that Mei is one of Adora's only two passable heroes alongside Brig, so that's super helpful.

Holy poo poo. Did NOT expect London to come prepared to play. Mano got isolated and clipped so many times that he was looking like a Gold player. XL has to power up and get in this game!!

It seems like, no matter the meta, control maps remain a total crapshoot no matter what two teams are playing.

If London can win a non-control map, though, that would be huge.

I have been really impressed by the hero variety so far.

In these first three matches, I don't think we've seen:

Pharah
Soldier 76
Junkrat
Hanzo
Ashe
Torbjorn
Bastion

Roadhog
Zarya
Sigma

Mercy

With the exception of Torb, I think there's a reasonably high chance we see all of those folks by the end of the weekend.

edit: nice vvv

I've been really underwhelmed by Nico over the course of these two games, but using Mei's icicle to block D.va's ult from killing Rein was brilliant. I didn't even know you could do that.

Also, FDGOD is my favorite new player so far. Glister seems fine but overrated.

Just realized that this is going to be an entire day of 3-0verwatch. Oof. It is fun that Paris dunked on London, though.

Also, it is the dumbest poo poo in the world that they make you switch streams midway through the day and it must be absolute poison for their viewership.

That was weird. And I'm not fully sold on being called a sparkler, but I guess that's fine.

What was the "becoming more mature and responsible" thing at the start about? The only thing that even comes to mind is Krystal's situation, are they alluding to him coming back or what? Seems unlikely.

There are some heroes who, when I see the pros play them, are basically unrecognizable. I'd say that Doomfist is at the top of that list, followed by Lucio and Pharah.
