Game of the Week
It's a good time to look back at the Stage 2 Playoffs, which ended with a New York Excelsior victory. It was a thrilling comeback for the Excelsior, as they eventually adjusted to the Phidelphia Fusion's gameplan and came back from an 0-2 deficit to claim victory.
During the post-game press conference, the Excelsior players openly admitted that they had expected to see the London Spitfire in this spot and simply executed their same strategy for the Spitfire with the Fusion. That plan, to put it simply, did not work. The Fusion came out a house of fire and used a lot of their unconventional tactics to quickly put the Excelsior on the ropes.
But after halftime adjustments, the Excelsior went right back to work and showed exactly why they're the team to beat in the Overwatch League right now.
