LAG and their shiny new toy, look formidable. But the importance of their improvement wasn’t as evident to me until I glanced at the standings/schedule. Now with seemingly 9 competitive teams, I expect to see a lot more closely contested OW up and down the league with higher probabilities for upsets. Hopefully these major upsets turn to minor upsets as well. In stage 1, to me, we saw 7 competitive teams that were capable of all beating one another. Some more so than others. Dallas (not being included in that 7) was still intriguing and (also not included) LAG did have their moments but were inconsistent. With the small improvements we saw last night I feel like we’re up to 9 competitive teams, and other than maybe the shock for the time being, the entire league is on an upward trajectory. Pssh and the kill feed isn’t cluttered with rez any longer too. <3 stage 2
