RESULTS: Boston Uprising Sweep Dallas Fuel in the Overwatch League

As we pass the half-way point for Week 4 or Stage 3, the games between the teams of the Overwatch League become more and more important as they look for better positioning on the ladder. Here’s a brief breakdown of the series between the Boston Uprising and the Dallas Fuel.

The first map, Temple of Anubis, featured strong defence from both teams. Dallas made their attack first, but found themselves completely unable to advance their position, forced back by Boston for the entire duration of the match. The attack from Boston was similarly tough, as Dallas also showed a strong defence, however Boston was eventually able to secure the required capture percentage to claim victory in this first set.

The second map, Blizzard World, saw Dallas make a successfully first checkpoint assault. With the payload secured, Dallas began to move through the map, however the defence from Boston eventually caught up to them, stopping them before they could reach the second point and ending the round there. The Boston attack was much more successful, rapidly securing the first checkpoint before starting the payload on its journey. Despite the best efforts from Dallas, they were unable to slow down Boston enough as the Uprising cruised to the required distance with plenty of time to spare.

The third map, Ilios, was the death knell for Dallas’s hopes of a victorious series. Dallas were able to spend some time on the first point, however only reached 44% by the time Boston secured their victory. The second round was a shambles for the Dallas Fuel, as Boston kept them from capturing the point at all, claiming the series win here and now.

The fourth map, Junkertown, saw the Dallas Fuel show their best performance of the day. After advancing the payload through the first two checkpoints, Dallas were eventually stopped about halfway to the third point, as Boston finally seemed able to put up a strong defence. The attack from Boston was similarly successful, as they too advanced the payload through the first two checkpoints with relative ease. Despite Dallas stepping up their defence, they were unable to halt Boston in their final push, as the Uprising reached the required distance to claim a clean 4-0 sweep.
