I feel like the French team has a lot of things to improve on, but their performance against China was great, but I'm not entirely sure how China as an opponent stacks up against other teams. What has also surprised me was Winz's ability to flex onto the Zen and play it at a great level. which allows Unkoe to sit on Mercy duty, they also have a great Junkrat from SoOn, and Junkrat was one of the heroes that gave South Korea a lot of trouble. I think they'll take two maps at most from Korea, due to their mappool compared to Korea's mappool.

France 1 - 3 Korea

I think this is going to be a very difficult match for France. We've seen how good Flex Tank play is key in winning matches and even though Nico really stepped up against China he was also often one of the first to go down/lose his mech.

SK are more than likely going to focus him down and build from there. France are going to have to be extremely efficient at targeting SK's supports which have shown to be a weakness when they run the Mercy.

In the end though I believe Team SK to be too strong and able to better capitalize on their opponent's weaknesses.

I think SK win 3-0, but the match may be closer than the score reflects, and honestly I'm hoping to once again be surprised with a high octane and exciting game of Overwatch.

Edit: Holy shit boyz, I did it! I no-lifed my way to my 4th star!

This is the real Final ! Too bad that the tree was so unbalanced, the 4 remaining teams skillwise should be South Korea, France, USA and China/Sweden.

I'm fucking pissed. How do you still stay in LOS of a Dva bomb when your Winston bubble is on top of it for more than a second. I legit don't get it. This is the only reason they lost this, uNKOE and I believe SoOn just botted.

I think we already knew the reason, or had an idea. Being it was a mix of teams thinking Rogue already had an OWL spot and by the time they knew Rogue wasn't going to be in the league many teams have already finalized their roster/already had enough hitscan DPS + the buyout was somewhat expensive.

I think the real mystery will be if he isn't signed mid season.

i feel like korea is fine with losing a first map and just use it to test the waters. flower wasn't performing well on pharah and they decided to stick on it anyway. despite this they win the map which is a bad sign for france this series. i think flower could have swapped to soldier at any time and it would have been much easier

Rogue put up a superb fight against South Korea, but you shouldn't discredit SK for playing their hearts out, too.

Nico made a mistake going around the corner in the tunnel and losing his mech before Knoxxx was there. That lost them point C cause they couldn't ever get the Orisa set up after that.

Game changing throws on all maps so far from France

First dying to diva ult and letting zunba resuit, causing them to lose map 1.
AKM roll with unkoe wasting mercy ult on numbani, means SK get higher timebank.
Bastion strat is risky, but them NiCO throws anyway staying in front of shield.

I get it's a high pressure situation but it's kind of mind boggling.

The perspective from some of these comments...

Just because France didn't win doesn't necessarily mean that they "threw" or "choked", why couldn't it be that SK clutched?

#40
ninya

Frags

How is AKM rolling into his team and killing them SK clutching, or any of the other examples?

#42
Generation1

Frags

because they were fights lost due to mistakes by rogue and not by extraordinary plays by SK. A clutch means you win against the odds and a throw is losing despite the odds.

#45
ninya

In my mind clutching is when you win by pure mechanical skill in a tense or critical situation, not the other team throwing for you lol

Game is super close, I just feel like the scoreline could be different if not for those mistakes.

you are entitled to your opinions, but it doesn't mean they are right
the term "clutch" is commonly used as generation1 had described

#43

SK capitalizing on those mistakes is what made them win the maps. France capitalized on a lot of mistakes by SK as well. It happens. Just remember that France is not the only good team in this matchup.

#44

but that's not clutching was my point... Clutching is winning a 1 v 3 or something. Capitalizing on a mistake is just doing your job. You should be capitalizing on mistakes.

We might be watching a different match then, I saw a lot of great plays against the odds from both sides. It just seems like you are more willing to dismiss SK's good plays by calling them throws by France. We just have different viewpoints.

If they would have seeded thew teams by rank SK(2) and USA(3) would have more than likely met in the SF so I think you example is probably accurate to en extent.
