Well played. I salute you all.

Spoiler

Miro's Winston ability min/maxing is fucking out of control.

 

[clemenx]

Oh so this is another game ruined by Koreans? kappa.

 

[Quonny]

This is why having one team per nation in eSports is a bad idea. I know the actual league won't have this, but this is hard to watch.

 

[AHK_Hero]

Hahaha, this is perfect.

 

[Newtype-001]

Russia should probably just stick Shadowburn on Reaper and give him Miro duty. Thats the only thing i can think could possibly help.

Aagdgah

 

[hesido]

C'mon Russia! Let's watch a few more games!!

 

[Mendrox]

This seems worse than some of my pub game stumps.

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

Russian team should learn what the definition of insanity is. It's exactly as the commentator stated, they are doing exactly what you expect them to do with little to no variation. It's unfortunate to see this.

 

[Risev1]

Holy crap that high-ground positioning from Korea

 

[Newtype-001]

So outplayed South Korea did well to keep apart.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Miro humiliating them dang

 

[capitalCORN]

Fucking humiliation at this point.

 

[exYle]

Even when Russia switches it up they can't compete, what the hell

 

[Quonny]

Embarrassing.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Good call by Blizzard to get Monte and DOA to cast this tho. So polished.

 

[Newtype-001]

Miro 26/1
😱😱😱😱

 

[DevilTakoyaki]

Miro is so gooooood.

 

[jediyoshi]

tfw the bo7 is over quicker than the bo3

 

[Syf]

Not even close lol. Congrats Korea, you own another game.

 

[exYle]

ARHAN HOLY SHIT

 

[kayos90]

That Arhan Pentakill. What the fuck.

 

[T.O.P]

Absolutely Arhan

 

[Sesuadra]

Miro needs a nerf

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

Miro is showing everyone how to be a better Winston, which is a good thing from this.

 

[Hagi]

Jesus christ it's like they are playing a pub game. Utter defeat.

 

[peakish]

Lol

 

[exYle]

whoa sk won

no way

 

[KarmaCow]

Good lord that stomp was almost as brutal as their match against Australia.

 

[I-hate-u]

IS THIS EZ MODE?

 

[kami_sama]

Grats to Korea!
I wouldn't want to be Russian right now.

 

[Krixeus]

whoa sk won

no way

Color me shocked!

 

[motherxwolf]

that was brutal to watch lmao

 

[JGLS]

Just savage.

 

[Sesuadra]

Miro needs one of his hands glued to his back so Russia stands a chance

 

[Rocketz]

That was tough to watch.

What a steamroll

 

[Risev1]

Grats to Korea!
I wouldn't want to be Russian right now.

Meh I think Russia were just happy to be there. Nobody expected them to get the finals. Sure they were outplayed, but this is Korea we're talking about.

 

[exYle]

That hurt to watch, man.

 

[Woo-Fu]

Not only did they beat Russia, they did it running mostly the same comp Russia does. They out-genjid Shadowburn.

 

[hesido]

Is there a tournament for console? The game is so much faster on PC that I can't even follow

Would like to see what people can do with controllers.

 

[Ricerocket]

The best part of this tourney is Miro's Winston. Still do not know how he does not die yet puts in so much dmg/harass.

 

[Alucrid]

lol t mobile ceo

 

[KarmaCow]

Wait THE T-Mobile CEO? How hype.

 

[AHK_Hero]

This is why having one team per nation in eSports is a bad idea. I know the actual league won't have this, but this is hard to watch.

The advantage of having the teams be based on countries is that you don't have to know the team or it's players to get behind them. It's easy to root for your flag.

I think it makes the event more interesting for people who aren't has heavily invested in the game or its pro scene.

On the other hand though like you were alluding a one-sided final like this isn't so great either.

 

[Shredderi]

Oh no, pro gamers in SK are treated like rockstars. It's almost a complete opposite to how majority of western countries still treat gaming.

That is a world of difference in overall attitudes.

 

[exYle]

SOMBRA

 

[WaterAstro]

Well Korea already has Overwatch leagues going on at OGN, so the competition breeds top players.

 

[Alucrid]

i like ryujehong, but it's hard to not say it was miro

 

[motherxwolf]

this was supposed to run til 2:45

 

[Chaos17]

That final was so savage, that stomp Russia took was not even a fight. Holy cow, I never wanna play against south korea, NEVER!!

 

[Caim]

Wait THE T-Mobile CEO? How hype.

Must be why I've been seeing T-Mobile Overwatch ads lately lol
