Overwatch League Match Recaps for Day 1, Week 4, Stage 4

With the first day of Week 4, Stage 4 wrapped up, we can look at the matches that took place, and how the teams that participated are looking this close to playoffs. Some teams have obviously put in time and effort to improve their standings, while other teams are still struggling to find their footing. Here’s a brief breakdown of the matches from Day 1 of Week 4, Stage 4 in the Overwatch League.

 Seoul Dynasty vs Boston Uprising

It was hard to predict how this series would turn out, with both teams previously showing a lot of strength but at the same time struggling lately. Boston proved to be the stronger of the two right now, as they claimed victory in this series 3-1, only losing on the third map, Lijiang Tower. With the performance shown from these teams, it’s clear that while they have their issues, neither team should be counted out of the running just yet. The only problem is whether they can right their problems quickly enough for it to matter.

Shanghai Dragons vs Florida Mayhem

Probably the best chance Shanghai had to claim their first victory in the Overwatch League would ultimately collapse, as the Florida Mayhem turned on everything they had to keep their hopes alive. Every map proved to be an extremely close battle, except for the clash on Horizon Lunar Colony, which saw Shanghai claim victory with relative ease. It’s clear that both these teams are improving, but with their current records, the best they can hope for is to play spoiler to some of the other teams, and in the case of the Dragons, claim their first victory.

Dallas Fuel vs Houston Outlaws

The Texas Team Showdown took place once again, with these two teams looking to be crowned the king of the Lone Star State. An extremely close back and forth series saw the Houston Outlaws ultimately claim victory here, only losing out on Hanamura due to the unorthodox strategies employed by Dallas. Every clash between these two teams is a delight, and we’re looking forward to catching them in action beyond the inaugural season of the Overwatch League.
