Game of the Week
Teams were all over the place in this first week of Stage 3. Top teams were getting crushed, bottom-of-the-rung squads were looking good, and then suddenly everything flipped over again. But the most fun match of the week belonged to the Houston Outlaws and London Spitfire, two teams that have grown familiar with one another.
Houston came in as a squad that underperformed in Stage 2 and is looking to rebound. With that, they came out firing against the Spitfire, with Austin "Muma" Wilmot keeping the Outlaws in it with his Winston keeping London at bay.
It was also fun to see one of the first instaces of Blizzard World used in a competitive setting, with both teams switching off of their mains. Houston's Jake Lyon went to Tracer, while London's Jun-young "Profit" Park went to Sombra, leading to some interesting new matchups and some intriguing approaches to this hybrid map.
But as is often the case with the Houston Outlaws, the fun is in Jake's Junkrat. Keep an eye on that Blizzard World game and watch how persistance eventually pays off.
