Vancouver Titans vs Houston Outlaws

We weren't sure whether the Outlaws would come out the gates swinging and take the win over San Francisco, or implode at the first sign of trouble. In the end, it was the former, and boy was it a spectacular showing from the boys in black and green! Now, the Shock *have* regressed beyond measure — of that we're all aware — but that shouldn't take anything away from Houston's monumental triumph.

They're one of the most capable teams in the league and are playing some of their best Overwatch yet! Whether they'll be able to once again compete on even footing once the Summer Showdown begins still remains to be seen, but the odds are certainly stacked in their favor — especially if they continue playing so darn well. They're scheduled to face the Vancouver Titans next which, in all fairness, is pretty much the easiest test a team can get. There's just nothing to really praise or commend them for, so we're expecting a fairly swift and commanding 3-0 in favor of Houston.

The Titans have yet to get a win on the board and that, in short, tells you all you need to know when it comes to their talent and preparation. They're a feisty bunch, no doubt, but they're also out of their element, and the odds of them ever finding any amount of success are extremely slim if not non-existent.
