RESULTS: Boston Uprising Take down Seoul Dynasty in another Close Series

The games of the Overwatch League are getting harder and harder to predict, as the teams grow ever closer in terms of skill. With the Boston Uprising barely managing to claim victory over the Seoul Dynasty, here’s a brief breakdown of the series.

The first map, Volskaya Industries, saw Boston make their attack first. Getting off to a strong start, Boston managed to claim the first point after forcing Seoul to pull back. With the clock ticking, Boston managed to keep their assault flowing as they moved onto the second map. Keeping Seoul off kilter allowed Boston to secure the second point with plenty of spare time in the bank. The Seoul attack was not as successful right away, though they were also able to claim the first checkpoint. Their attack was quickly blunted on the Boston defence however, as they were not able to secure the second point despite their best efforts, handing the first map to Boston.

The second map, Blizzard World, was as close as they can possibly be. Boston was the first to attack, and they were quickly able to claim the first checkpoint and start the payload moving. Keeping the tempo high, Boston were able to push the payload through the map to reach the final checkpoint with some time to spare, despite the best efforts of the Seoul defence. The attack from Dynasty was similarly strong, as they too claimed the first checkpoint and began to advance through the map. Not reaching the milestones quite as quickly, Seoul were ultimately able to reach the end of the map in overtime, setting up a final attack from Boston to try and break the deadlock. Boston’s second attempt at attack seemed to fizzle out quite fast, as Seoul learned from their earlier mistakes. As the clock ran out, Boston were unable to dislodge Seoul from the point, resulting in a very rare Draw result.

The third map, Nepal, was another close battle between these two teams. The first round was very intense, with both teams spending significant time in control of the point. In the end, Seoul was the team that prevailed after knocking Boston off the point, though it was very close with the final percentage reading 100% to 99%. The second round was just as close, though this time it was Boston who managed to scrape through with the win. The scores again reached 100% to 99%, though Seoul suffered the worst for the time being. The third round was less close, with Boston ultimately claiming the round 100% to 38%, and taking the overall series win.

The fourth map, Route 66, saw the Boston attack start promisingly, but quickly fall apart in the face of the Seoul defence. Boston were able to advance the payload through the first checkpoint, however they could not reach the second as Seoul’s defence stepped up their game. When it came time for the Dynasty to make their attack, they were much more successful in their endeavours, pushing Boston back multiple times as they continued their assault. Boston could not hold Seoul back from reaching the required distance, as the Dynasty claimed the final map with plenty of time to spare in revenge for the rest of the series.
