Seoul Dynasty vs Los Angeles Gladiators

For our last match of the day we have a fight between Seoul Dynasty and the Los Angeles Gladiators.

It seems like top tier Korean teams need some time to get rolling. The same rang true for Seoul on Junkertown as they didn't look nearly as solid as Dallas on either attack or defense.

Luckily for Seoul fans, Anubis was a highlight for sure as both teams raced out of the gates trying to establish dominance. Both teams went blow-for-blow, managing to stay even until the very end when Seoul put up a far better defense on point A, thus winning the match 6-5. Dallas looked exhausted as they headed into Ilios and it showed.

Even though they looked somewhat shaky fans needn't be worried. They emerged victorious through superior synergy and communication and will surely fix the issues that plagued their play on day one.

As for the Los Angeles Gladiators, it's still to early to evaluate their potential and skill level. We've last seen them dominate over the Shanghai Dragons in 4-0 fashion which was extremely humiliating for the Dragons, but after seeing Shanghai get demolished by the San Francisco Shock as well you start to realize that beating them isn't such big of an achievement at the moment. If anything, the Gladiators were fearless and played much like in their match against the London Spitfire in the preseason which is a promising sign. Hydration pulled out Doomfist on Dorado to much success - preventing Shanghai to get even a single point! Surefour was a joy to watch on a plethora of DPS picks as well, with their tank lineup doing a lot of the work as well.

Shaz was the man of the hour with his insane Zenyatta snipes, and when paired with his long time support partner Biggoose kept a lot of Shanghai busy. Gladiators as a whole were very convincing and dominant but then again, when you put things in perspective you're left to wonder - will they be able to do the same, to play the same way against a top tier team?

Unfortunately they probably won't be able to do so against a titan like Seoul Dynasty. While they might be able to keep things competitive and perhaps even take a map (especially if Seoul starts off slow and underestimates the Gladiators), but in the end it should be in vain. Seoul is here to dominate and they want to continue their win streak.

Betting on Seoul would be the better and more logical choice.
