RESULTS: Seoul Dynasty Sweep Houston Outlaws

In what appears to be a return to the dominance displayed at the start of the season, the Seoul Dynasty have defeated the Houston Outlaws in a clean 4-0 sweep. Here’s a brief breakdown of the series.

The first map, Temple of Anubis, saw Seoul launch their first attack to great success. Swiftly securing the first objective, Seoul continued to pressure Houston, driving them back as they moved onto the second point, capturing it with plenty of time to spare. The Houston attack was less successful, as though they managed to capture the first point, they were unable to translate that to direct success on the second point. Houston only managed to secure a third of the checkpoint before being forced back and the clock running out of time.

The second map, Numbani, again saw Seoul prove their strength. Securing the first point ad advancing the payload through the map, Seoul eventually reached the final checkpoint with over 2 minutes remaining, leaving a daunting task ahead of the Outlaws. Houston tried their best to match Seoul on their attack, however they were only able to secure the first point and advance the payload for a time, being forced back before reaching the second checkpoint. Despite their efforts, Houston could not complete the course, leading to an early 2-0 lead for Seoul.

The third map, Nepal, featured an extremely close first round between these two teams. Though the first round would ultimately be won by Seoul, Houston were still able to secure 99% of the zone, as the two teams clashed for victory. The second round was a blow-out compared to the first, as Houston could not secure any of the zone before Seoul claimed victory. With the first three maps won, Seoul had ensured their victory regardless of the final maps outcome.

The fourth map, Junkertown, was much closer than the previous maps. Seoul set a good standard with their attack, as though they were unable to reach the end of the course, they were still extremely close to the finish. Houston’s attack was likewise fairly successful, pushing through the map to almost reach the final checkpoint. Seoul managed to rally their defence and stop the Outlaws however, keeping them from reaching the final mark by just a few metres and securing a clean 4-0 victory in this contest.
