LA Valiant 3-1 Atlanta Reign
LA Valiant get their first win of the season against the Atlanta Reign who have not won without DaFran. Space will play much better at off tank against Atlanta’s strange recruitment of Frd. Valiant will take advantage of the weak opponent and not let it go to a map 5.Â
Key Matchups: Space vs Frd
Boston Uprising 2-3 Hangzhou Spark
For the first time, Boston lets it get too close and can’t pull out the win. Their close calls get a little too close now as Hangzhou finally starts to play with the talent they have. Guxue vs Fusions will be very fun to watch when Guxue is on Winston and Fusions is on Reinhardt. Hangzhou Spark win the match in a map 5 in a huge upset and break Boston’s win streak.
Key Matchups: Fusions vs Guxue
Guangzhou Charge 0-4 San Francisco Shock
Guangzhou Spark haven’t given us a reason to believe in them like they did in Stage 1. The Shock however haven’t given us a reason to doubt them. The battle between Viol2t and Shu. It also doesn’t help that the Shock just swept the Charge last week.
Key Matchups: Shu vs Viol2t
Chengdu Hunters 3-1 Shanghai Dragons
The hunters finally have the meta they need in stage 2 to allow them to play such creative compositions under Ameng. His battle against Gamsu will be fun to watch as both main tanks are very talented and huge contributions to their teams success. This match will come down to the wire even if it is a 3-1 match. Shanghai’s close match against LA Gladiators has showed me that Shanghai may be able to hang with the best, but they can’t defeat the best. Therefore, Chengdu and Ameng escape with another win in their undefeated Stage 2.
