After missing the opening game on Wednesday (11) of the Overwatch League, the London Spitfire won six consecutive cards in two of the first five games to defeat the Los Angeles Gladiators by 2-1 on Saturday (14) at Blizzard Arena in Burbank, California, and advance to the semifinals.
The Spitfire matched the series with relative ease, taking the first match of the day in a 3-0. It was not only London's first win against Los Gladiators, but also a rematch of London's previous defeat at Los Angeles on Wednesday.
On Saturday, London looked like a completely different team holding the Gladiators in only one point on the three cards played. The "Profit" DPS Park Joon-yeong helped the Spitfire start at high speed, spending most of the time on the first map (Dorado) destroying it with Brigitte's excellent moves.
Spitfire's dominance continued in the second match to the success of the DPS elite shooter Kim moves "birdring" Ji-hyeok. In Junkertown, birdring sealed the win with a perfectly timed Dragon Strike like Hanzo, catching three players as the time has expired
In Lijiang Tower, it was birdring that started the fight again by eliminating the DPS from the Gladiators and expert at Widowmaker Lane "Surefour" Roberts, who started a trend: regularly found birdring Surefour across the map to keep the Gladiators in deficit. In the final map, King's Row, it was Profit's turn to play the sniper's hero as Hanzo. Despite some defeats, Profit shone by eliminating three opponents to secure a quick spot and start the race that would lead London to victory in overtime.
Los Angeles again refused to play with MVP Baek's main tank and runner-up "Fissure" Chan-hyung, raising questions from fans and badysts about what's going on behind the scenes, and for a good reason. With Fissure, the Gladiators have 58% victories on the cards, but without Crack, the percentage of victories of the Gladiators falls to 46%. The Gladiators also avoided playing with Aaron "Bischu" Kim, who is a cast member and translator of the team, opting for Kang "Void" Jun-woo.
Los Angeles showed a brief glimpse of its true potential, taking the first point of the Lijiang Tower to 99%, and then stomping King's Row to force the extension on the final map, but this is n & rsquo; Was not enough to stop the Spitfire
face the Los Angeles Valiant in the semifinals, with the first game of the series from 23h (GMT) on Wednesday (18).
