Not sure what to expect here. Boston did beat London but I doubt they'll be sitting Profit for this one, so Seoul will be facing what I'd arguably call the strongest DPS duo in the OWL right now.

Either way I'm hoping for as hype of a match as the Seoul vs NYXL one...but with mah Seoul boyz coming out on top this time!

H Y P E

SD 3-1

Dis gon be gud

London should use the GC Busan roster maybe

The strats in this match are going to be next level. It'll probably come down to very small inefficiencies in ult value and ult economy. Watch out for the valk and trans timings, could be game changing here.

Seoul 4-0

Edit: LOL was I WRONG - also Jehong WhereRU

Why are both teams playing with less OWL experienced players?

Can we call that a c9? They should have won that last fight if they'd played point

Seoul Fighting！

GC Busan still the thorn in the side of LH

Where's jehong this time?. Gido's a little bit too slow on trans charge.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Wtf is happening, man? This is disgusting to watch.

Lunatic-Hai having flashbacks, monkaS

Closer is actually a really good Mercy, positioning has been insane

Why do they take Munchkin out??? I actually don't understand. That's why they're losing

Was hoping this would at least be competitive. Seoul practically played like they didn't even want to be here tonight.

Will be curious to see if they decide to show up against Houston.

Even if he misses his shots in practice, you don't take LeBron out of the game. Jehong belongs on stage.
Edit: As a result of this match, Houston have overtaken Seoul in the standings and we have a non-KR team in the top 3 for the first time in a while.

When you fall asleep watching NYXL vs Shanghai Dragons then you woke up on the last map of London Spitfire vs Seoul Dynasty. FeelsBadMan

This is what an OWL caster had to say about the match last night:
https://twitter.com/tisrobin311/status/959404727627792386

OWL Caster Akaros: "The biggest cause of S. Dynasty's crushing loss was the healers. Tobi made so many mistakes compared to Closer who's looking like one of the best Mercys in the league. Gido's lackluster Zen didn't help. It was the healer gap that ultimately decided the match"

He continues in a couple more tweets.

WOOHYAL and closer shutout Miro and Zunba while Hagopeun and Bdosin killed bunny with Zen more than he did on tracer

One thing I don't like about Seoul ever since their Lunatic Hai times. They try to bring in obviously less talented players on games and not sub them out even when it isn't working.
I kind of understand why they do it. If some of the players don't get any play time, they'll lose motivation, which might have bad influence on the entire team. Also, if they sub out players when it's not working well, that could also hurt the player's morale. So they just keep playing with it with hopes that they can come back and do better in the later part of the game.
That has been part of how Lunatic Hai managed to stay on top for so long. They were able to keep the players motivated, and the players that were once seen as less talented came in at times when regular players were under-performing (like in the case of Gido in APEX season 3).
However, I don't get why they need to do it in games that are this important. They could try subbing in these players against weaker teams, or after they already got 3 points and secured a victory. That happens all the time in real sport, and that does sufficient enough job of keeping players motivated.
