Dallas Fuel vs. Houston Outlaws<\/h2>\n![\"Dallas](\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" "\\"Dallas")
Dallas Fuel had their nose bloodied, but we think they’ll come back swinging against the Outlaws.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt’s fair to say Dallas Fuel have been brought down a peg since their opening week, first losing to Seoul Dynasty despite a promising opener on Junkertown, before getting absolutely wiped out by the Los Angeles Valiant a day later. <\/p>\n
However, they have not fallen so hard to lose to the likes of the Houston Outlaws, the only team in the Overwatch League to have lost both their matches in the preseason and<\/em> the opening week with some seriously sloppy play.<\/p>\n
Houston may have found an easy win since then against the League’s punching bag, the Shanghai Dragons, but their solid DPS duo Jacob \u2018Jake\u2019 Lyon and Jiri \u2018Linkzr\u2019 Masalin are surrounded by inefficient support and tanks.<\/p>\n
Fuel’s third match will be redemption time for Hwang \u2018Effect\u2019 Hyeon and Brandon \u2018Seagull\u2019 Larned to remind us why we were so hyped for them after their preseason promise.<\/p>\n
All Fuel’s Timo ‘Taimou’ Kettunen has to do is keep pulling out the amazing Roadhog plays he’s known for, as his chain hooks were a big reason Fuel even put up a fighting chance against Dynasty’s best last week.<\/p>\n\nDallas Fuel to win: $1.38 at Arcanebet<\/a><\/strong>\n
Los Angeles Valiant vs. New York Excelsior<\/h2>\nIf they can keep up the dive comp efficiency and smart ult economy, Los Angeles Valiant are more than ready to take out NYXL and surprise us all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe Los Angeles Valiant has been one of our favourite Overwatch League teams since the preseason and they have consistently delivered on every front – proper carries, dive comps, teamwork and plenty of individual flair – since their opening match, and we think they have a real shot against New York Excelsior this week.<\/p>\n
Valiant’s incredible 4 – 0 opening match against the San Francisco Shock last week was beautifully coordinated, but the 3 – 0 thrashing they handed Dallas Fuel definitely left some naysayers speechless – we know it got us standing.<\/p>\n
LA have more than adequately proven they can adapt to their opponent’s composition swiftly and can run quick and efficient dive-comps at the drop of the hat. They also know when to reel it in when plays don’t work, like when Fuel ran a tri-tank and Moira line-up and Valiant reverted back to basics with a Genji and Tracer dive to get the job done right.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the most understated strength of Valiant is their ult economy – they rarely, if ever, have wasted their ultimates and hold onto them for crucial points.<\/p>\n
Having said that, NYXL are no push-over, as proven by their own equally impressive opening week performance, and De-Hyeon \u2018Pine\u2019 Kim might just be the best DPS player in the League.<\/p>\n
However, they’ve so far played a little messier than Valiant, dropping at least a map each whenever Pine’s not on-field, compared to Valiant’s clean and confident shut-outs.<\/p>\n
Expect an extremely tense and hard-fought battle between these two titans, but it’s undeniable the Valiant are in proper form to leave us speechless once more.<\/p>\n\nLos Angeles Valiant to win: $2.70 at Arcanebet<\/a><\/strong>\n
Los Angeles Gladiators vs. Philadelphia Fusion<\/h2>\nThe Gladiators line-up are better than the performances they’ve put out so far – against Fusion, we think they’ll get their first chance to prove it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe Los Angeles Gladiators and Philadelphia Fusion are the two middle-of-the-road teams of the Overwatch League at the moment, with some inconsistent and sometimes baffling performance from otherwise talented rosters.<\/p>\n
While they were the hardest team to place in our power rankings list<\/a>, the Gladiators’ Jun-Sung ‘Asher’ Choi and Jo\u00e3o Pedro ‘Hydration’ Goes Telles have played some decent DPS so far, but support player Jonas ‘Shaz’ Samuel was regular mince-meat for Seoul Dynasty’s sharpshooters and will need to work on his timing to avoid the same fate with Fusion.<\/p>\n
Expect a hard-earned victory for the Gladiators, who we feel will finally start coming out of their shell with a challenge more on their level.<\/p>\n\nLos Angeles Gladiators to win: $2.34 at Arcanebet<\/a><\/strong>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
