On the 14th, the 3rd week and 4th day of the Overwatch League 2023 season was held at WDG eSports Studio in Chungmuro, Seoul. In the first game, Seoul Infernal picked up momentum by winning 3-0 once morest Hangzhou Spark. Infernal took the upper hand in the fight for the upper ranks by beating Hangzhou following No. 1 Guangzhou yesterday. As a result, Guangzhou maintained its first place on its own. It was possible by defeating the Shanghai Dragons 3:1 and gaining a goal-loss advantage.
Seoul and Hangzhou met in the first match. From the start of the first set, Seoul displayed its strength with Reinhardt of ‘Mag’ at the forefront. Not only ‘MN3’ McCree, but also ‘Pixar’ Lúcio raised the kill score and headed for victory. Riding the momentum, Seoul pulled out the Zarya-Reaper card and won a landslide victory in a power struggle. ‘Zest”s Ripper chased and scored a kill, and once once more Lucio’s kill broke out, and Seoul took the first set.
In the second set, the performance of other Seoul team members stood out. ‘Squid’ Ana blocked Hangzhou by inserting a heal ban in time for her opponent ‘Shai’ Sombra’s EMP. Seoul, which gained speed, managed to defend one point and immediately secured two points. Other team members also defeated Hangzhou individually with excellent team coordination and focusing ability, leading 2:0.
In the third set, the same picture of Seoul winning came out. Hangzhou did a good job dealing with ‘Mag”s Diva, but when he replaced Winston once more, he mightn’t stop it. Every time the opponent ‘Shai’ Sombra’s EMP timing, there was a scene where the back line survived to the end. Seoul’s ‘Squid’ hit the heal ban at the timing of Sombra’s EMP or put the opponent to sleep was the main play.
The match between Guangzhou and Shanghai continued in the second game. In the first set, Guangzhou continued strong pressure. Guangzhou constantly put pressure on the core dealer, Heesu. While Guangzhou dominated ‘Heesu’, on the contrary, Shanghai might not score and the match ended 2:0. Guangzhou seemed to be paying back once morest Shanghai for losing to Seoul Infernal in the last match.
In the second set, Shanghai counterattacked. This time, Shanghai intensively targeted Guangzhou’s key dealer, ‘Jimmy’ Hanzo. It was able to push the cargo up to 3 points. Guangzhou’s ‘Choi Se-hwan’ Tracer and ‘Piggy’ Winston fought hard, but they mightn’t block the 3 points. Defensively, Shanghai made a clean finish. ‘Iris’ Ana showed off a play where she sniped Tracer with a sense of stability that almost didn’t kill her. With that victory, the match was tied at 1:1.
From the third set, Guangzhou found its way once more. In particular, dealer ‘Jimmy’ found his place as Hanzo. ‘Jimmy’ gained confidence by cutting off Shanghai’s dealers. After that, Guangzhou was able to take the lead in a power struggle by pushing from the front line one following another.
Guangzhou confirmed first place in the East with their own hands. Every time Shanghai tried to run away, Guangzhou was able to show off his back by attacking healer Jin. After that, he showed the best play according to the situation. Tracer of ‘Choi Se-hwan’ led the team to victory by attacking the dealer ‘Hee-su’ and the healer ‘Iris’ alternately.
