EnVyUs began with an easier fixture to settle their nerves and start their Overwatch Open journey, as they waltzed through Splyce in two straight maps. EnVyUs looked comfortable as they shut out the attack on Numbani's first CP and stopped Splyce finishing the map on King's Row. They now progress to the Group A Winner's Match.

The Overwatch Open began with an absolute dominant display on Numbani. nV came out of the gates with their favoured Ana and Lucio, pairing them up in defense with Talespin's Mei. Despite Splyce trying to run a quad-tank setup to start, they were split apart perfectly by an icewall and cleaned up. Splyce instantly switched to a more classic composition but nothing worked as they constantly fed into the meat grinder and were truly destroyed on the first checkpoint.

EnVyUs only had to capture the first point and burst out with a Pharah-Mercy combo from HarryHook and Talespin. With the damage boosted rockets and no counter from the tanky heroes, Talespin ripped through the point. After receiving a Nanoboost at the end of the first push, EnVyUs were unstoppable and easily captured the first point to take Numbani in a storm.

Splyce picked King’s Row with their loser’s pick, defending first. They started on a 3x3 lineup and survived the first push after cocco missed a pin and put his team out of position slightly. Once chipshajen had his Nanoboost live however, the team rallied and popped it onto Taimou's reaper. He stormed through checkpoint A and took five kills on his own underneath arch. As the spawners began to defend in streets, a great dodge of an Earthshatter by INTERNETHULK allowed him to save his teammates with bubbles and then hit a Graviton Surge to cap the second checkpoint. Again the ultimates snowballed and another Blossom and Nanoboost were on the field for nV, letting cocco and Taimou slam forward, staggering spawns. There was no way Splyce could form any kind of defence and there was still 4:16 on the clock as EnVyUs rolled home.

Splyce showed some signs of life on their offense this map as the Nanoboost meta favoured the offense on King's Row; Shane and Taimou locked heads on the first checkpoint, both boosted, but Taimou made the mistake of trying to deal with Shane as he powered through the rest of nV. A failed push in the streets from Splyce let HarryHook and his team stabilise there and they delayed the offense, forcing a huge use of ultimates to capture checkpoint two with only two minutes remaining to take the final point.

Talespin moved to Pharah along with HarryHook on Mercy to make the most of the height at the end of King's Row, forcing Splyce to waste their Blossom and Earthshatter for nothing. With only 1 minute left EnVyUs pushed up, knowing that there were no ultimates on the board for Splyce. Talespin barraged whilst being damage boosted by Harry and Splyce wipe, leaving it all down to one last hurrah. Unfortunately PYYYOUR was too desperate to engage, unprotected by his Lucio, and died before he could pop a Nanoboost.

The first game of the tournament was an absolute roll; EnVyUs looked great after having their confidence boosted by an easy first game. They await the winner of NRG vs. Team Liquid for a spot in the North American playoffs.
