Overwatch League: Dominant Semi-final of Dallas

Dallas Fuel fell just short on map One. In the following three rounds, the team then hammered Houston Outlaws, who moved into the playoffs as the first-place team. Commentator Mitch Leslie praised: "The defence in particular blew me away. Dallas Fuel had both payload cards completely under control. This takes a hell of a lot of coordination, brains and work.»

Taehun "Edison" Kim was named the player of the match. With the character Sojourn, he constantly delivered decisive actions against outlaws. When asked why he was so good, the smiling Edison replied in an interview after the match, according to a translation: "I've always been good - when the nerves play along.»

Second Chance for Houston Outlaws

On Saturday, Houston Outlaws will play San Francisco Shock for a second chance to make the finals. The Texans had defeated the two-time OWL champion 3-2 on the first playoff day. Nevertheless, a difficult match is likely to be ahead.

The "APAC Slayer," as commentator Jack Wright called San Francisco Shock, has meanwhile stifled the championship dream of three of the four teams in the Eastern region in the losing round - including tournament favorite Seoul Dynasty.
