![]() ![]() Spark themselves have gone for a mainly black look, presumably for fans too cowardly to sport the pink alone. ![]() Some teams have unveiled alternate style jerseys this week, and Spitfire’s is a lovely pale rose. Spitfire, incidentally, are capitalising on the fact that Hangzhou Spark opened the pink floodgates. Their changed roster seemed somewhat shaky at first, with the low ranked Houston Outlaws taking them to five maps before eventually losing, but after a couple of days’ additional practice Saebyeolbe seemed much more comfortable on his new hero and the team wiped last year's champions London Spitfire 4-0. Until now, she hadn’t broken into the compositions of the top three teams, but New York are clearly shaking things up after being eclipsed by the big two (San Francisco Shock and Vancouver Titans). Sombra is creeping into the meta, as I discussed a couple of weeks ago, having been used to great effect by middle of the pack teams like Shanghai Dragons. (Admittedly, you won’t convince me that Sombra isn’t bi, but that’s not the same as confirmed representation.) You’d think this was just in time for Pride, considering Tracer’s girlfriend, but he’s actually shifted over to the inviso-hacker Sombra. Headlining these returnees was New York Excelsior’s star Tracer player, Park “Saebyeolbe” Jongryeol. And a new stage brought some new faces, and some much-missed ones making a fresh appearance. Alongside the festivities, teams were clearly looking ahead as we're now into the final half of the League. ![]() Both were celebrated in fine form at the arena this week, and while Blizzard could stand to improve how they handle both in many ways, aw, it was nice to see all the excited fan signs and rainbows everywhere. Happy Overwatch League stage three, and happy Pride. Keep up to speed with the Overwatch League with Know It OWL, as our weekend editor Jay Castello gives you the fortnightly highlights. ![]()
