Final Score – Winner Team Misfits
Team Misfits – 3
Team EnVyUs – 1
The Overwatch Grand Finals are here and we have both of our major competitors fighting it out for $100,000 and the title of ELEAGUE/FACIT Overwatch champion. Over the past few weeks, these teams have been competing against some of the world’s best such as NRG, Luminosity Gaming, and Cloud9. Now it’s down to two teams, Mistfits and EnVyUs, both of which have proven to be fantastic groups in their own right.
The Grand Final will be a best of five across different maps and game modes, of which both teams will be able to select. These will be live results and feedback, so make sure to keep checking back with who’s currently leading. Here’s everything you need to know:
Match 1: King’s Row – Hybrid Game Mode
The first round of this match started with Misfits coming out swinging as they captured the first point in rapid time. Thanks to Soon’s nearly flawless Reaper plays they pushed EnVyUs back and were already pushing the payload within the first minute. While it seemed that EnVyUs could recover thanks to a timely Graviton Surge, they just couldn’t clean up the kills in time. Misfits continued to push the payload all the way to the end of the map with little problems. Yet, just when EnVyUs seemed to get a last minute resurrection the momentum for Misfits was too much to stop. Misfits claimed the first match with little resistance from the favored opponents.
Damn that was brutal lol. So brutal. #overwatchopen

AMAZING comeback by EnvyUS to finish King's Row. That was looking so bad there, and they pulled it out to tie Misfits. #OverwatchOpen

Once the teams swapped it appeared as if Misfits were going to hold the first point until Team EnVyUs got a big four person resurrection that completely changed the battle. However, they went far slower than Misfits and barely finished the map after a variety of mixed team fights. Misfits, despite losing the defensive side, seemed to be favored going into the tiebreaker round.
Even with EnVyUs holding Misfits for the majority of the tiebreaker round, it sadly wasn’t enough as their aggressive style was enough to take map number 1. Soon’s Reaper was by far the star of this match as he managed to nab a plethora of kills both in and out of his ultimate’s ability.
