In this week's must-see moment, the Justice's Janus takes advantage of Primal Rage in a last-ditch effort to force a tie on Paris.

Week 3 of the Overwatch League stage has been pretty exciting so far, and today's match between the Justice and Spitfire brought us our must-see moment of the week!

After going up one map to nil against the London Spitfire, the Washington Justice was on the verge of dropping map 2 and heading into half-time tied with the Season 1 Champions. However, an exemplary ultimate by main-tank Janus sent half of the Spitfire into the drink and closed out Paris in a draw.

In round one of Paris, both squads managed to cap the map to a full 2 points, but Washington was held to nothing in extra-innings. This meant that all the London Spitfire needed to do in their shot at extra time was to get a single tick on the first point. 

Just as the London Spitfire’s time fell down into overtime, Janus got a pick on the Spitfire support Bdosin. With the kill, Janus earned his Winston Ultimate, Primal Rage, and turned up the heat against London. 

After popping his ult, Janus quickly knocked Gesture’s Reinhardt off the map -- the back of point A is completely open to environmental death -- before leaping back to the other pack and tossing both Birdring and Fury off the map with one swipe. 

The big move came at the perfect time and gave the Washington Justice the clearance to hold the point and secure the draw in map 2.

Unfortunately for those Washington Justice fans who got excited at the momentum gained through the first two maps, the team would come back extremely flat in the second half, and the London Spitfire would take map 3 and 4 to win the match-up at the end of the day. 

What is great though, is the promise of the current Justice line-up, and how well they’ve been able to play against some very formidable teams. 

Stage 3 of the Overwatch League continues tomorrow as Chengdu Hunters take on the Dallas Fuel, kicking things off at Noon Pacific Time.
