Last Grand Finals was the very best in OWL history. Here’s hoping that this will top that as the last season.

Reverse Sweep to start is excellent.

I don't feel too terrible about that reverse sweep 'cause it was awful close (if they manage to chase down a 3 HP Guxue one or two more times they probably win) but dang, opportunity thrown away by my Boston boys

Spark are just dripping with power right now

Spark second reverse deep is amazing.

Florida may be the steamroll on the opposite side of the spectrum.

I’m still rooting for Hadi and the boys on London and they demolished Atlanta.

Can’t forget Houston yet.

Going to be a fun finals at this rate.

Gunba coach of the year, Donghak rookie of the year

I think award winners should be allowed to refuse his awards. Donghak clearly looked really depressed and like he wanted to be anywhere but there.

Well, it's disappointing to lose at the end here, but (1) this is farther than I expected us to go and (2) we ultimately just got comp-diffed, and sometimes unlucky patches happen. We benefitted from the patch for a lot of the year, so I won't complain about that.

It would be extremely weird if Bernar becomes the only ex-Spark player (to my knowledge) to win a championship though lol

Happy for you Ignis! Good luck to the Mayhem!! #pinksolidarity

Thanks! Glad to see Spark make it so far in spite of Sean Miller's best attempts to hinder them. This format is rear end and Boston and Spark deserved their lower bracket runs

Looking at Lip and Chiyo's accounts of the playoffs, it's amazing how monumentally unprepared Atlanta was for anything but Florida. Lines up exactly with Gunba's impression from his interview.

Hopefully Albert and the playoffs' lesson of humility knock Gator into gear, or else this year's Team USA run will be a short one

The Lip Reddit thread mentions the players overruled the coach. Coach says, you should prepare some Rush comps. Team says, we just want to do Dive, and then they only did Dive.

Here you go

Games start this Sunday. Notable omissions are:

- Blizzard suspended YZNSA and Cloudy a few weeks before the event
- EQO can't make the event so Colombia is basically boned
- a part of Team USA got hit by COVID at grand finals and were sick during the USA bootcamp, so there's a decent chance super might actually see gametime
- no Jake on desk :(
- Spain DPS h1ra also got banned. Unclear if pretending to be a minority gender on Calling All Heroes, openly cheating, or being a slur filled toxic machine on ranked did it, specifically

They did make it. RUI is no longer the coach after Guxue's expose, and Elsa also bowed out after the scandal (word goes RUI just chose him as a favorite, but Elsa had no interest in the WC or the event and signed up as a favor for RUI). Yaoxie (former assistant coach of Spark, and the assumed defacto head coach of Spark during their playoffs run) will be coaching them from China, since it's too late to apply for a visa.

Spark announced today that all of their contracts (players, coaches, staff, and their HQ lease) have terminated; they did a nice little walkthrough video on Twitter of the lights going off at the HQ. They phrased it as a "pause" and posted a follow-up saying that it wasn't meant to imply anything about the future of the league.

It might be zhouver, but it'll be fun to see them run it back one last time at the World Cup this week!
