This should be an interesting game, now that Rogue has disbanded.
Should be an interesting match given Rogue's death and team China's VISA issues. A few Chinese peeps on Reddit noted that this team doesn't have a solid Mercy player and the new D.Va shouldn't be as disruptive to AKM as she was before so I think France has a better chance than ever to possibly get a win and move on to face SK or USA here.
Sad to see the our last whoorah Avec le Six, hope they can go out with a bang and prove the teams that passed them up wrong.
As a Chinese Overwatch fan, I predict Rogue has a higher chance of winning this match. The newly formed Chinese team are composed of great players, but there is no way they can run the team smoothly with only a few days to prep. Also, both support players are Ana/Zen mains, and I haven't watched them playing Lucio/Mercy.
From what i've seen in the qualifiers, YaoYao feeds alot, i don't know if it's because the healers and tanks aren't on the same page, but it's been noticable, i don't know if the trades are good whenever he goes too deep, but that from what i noticed its probably their biggest weakness, the lack of synergy, it could really go either way though.
I don't actually mind a bastion, at least he requires decent tracking and aim to utilise. It genuinely does confuse me why neither team tried a defensive sombra, especially on last point, where there's decent health packs that can be accessed. All you need to do is upset the ship once to end it's progress
This is by far the best match yet for me. Considering how new Junkertown is, it was very nice to see how each team performed and countered the "El presidente" strat.
Goldenboy: "Junkertown, the home of bastion." I'm really happy that there's a map where Bastion is considered a good/logic pick.
edit: Also liked what uber said, it was indeed interesting seeing how each team changed up in the middle of the series.
