Overwatch League Match Recaps for Day 2, Week 4, Stage 4

The second day of Week 4, Stage 4 has wrapped up for now, so let’s look back at the teams that performed well, and those that need to find their footing.

Los Angeles Valiant vs London Spitfire

Watching two top tier teams clash is always a treat, and today’s showdown was no different. The first map was so close it ended in a draw, effectively making the series a best of three. London took the early lead after winning map two with ease, but fell prey to the coordination and tactics from the Valiant squad as they cruised to a fairly straightforward 2-1 victory overall.

Los Angeles Gladiators vs New York Excelsior

There were no ties in this showdown, but that doesn’t mean the matches weren’t close with this series needing to be decided on a map five tie-breaker. New York claimed back to back maps before the half, after edging out the Gladiators on King’s Row and Hanamura. Los Angeles proved their strength by winning the next three maps in a row, to reverse sweep New York and maintain their strong position on the ladder.

San Francisco Shock vs Philadelphia Fusion

Another close series to finish the day saw Philadelphia overcome San Francisco only through great struggle. The two teams drew on Horizon Lunar Colony, evenly matched as they were, forcing the remaining maps to become do or die for Philadelphia. It wouldn’t be until the final map that the Fusion were able to flex their muscles and dominate their opponents, forcing San Francisco to rethink their strategies now that we’re so close to the playoffs.
