?Vancouver Titans’ tanks Nathan “frdwnr” Goebel and Chang-sik “ChangSik” Moon and DPS Min-gi “Teru” Kim have all been playing well this tournament and are arguably the strongest pieces on this roster. The remaining players, however, seem pretty average.
On the other side, London Spitfire boast a very talented DPS lineup in Jeffrey “blasé” Tsang, Johannes “Shax” Nielsen, and William “SparkR” Andersson, but lack quality in the support and tank departments.
It will be interesting to see how these two Overwatch League teams match up and whether either will manage to take advantage of the opponent’s weaknesses. You could favour the Titans a bit more since they have already won one match, but we wouldn’t say that they’re that much better than the Spitfire. A 3-2 victory for the Titans seems like a likely outcome.

?This has the makings of a close game; however, it’s tough to say whether Houston Outlaws can step up and deliver. They have the tools to be great, but we are very lukewarm on this team, mainly because they have yet to show any form of consistency this tournament cycle.
Los Angeles Gladiators are similar in a way that they have a high ceiling; however, you never know what to expect from them. The Gladiators played a very close series against Atlanta Reign (2-3) a couple of weeks back and added a 3-0 sweep of Washington Justice, but they struggled against Paris Eternal (2-3) and Justice (2-3) at the start of July.
Even though there is a world where Los Angeles Gladiators fall apart and lose, they are still more reliable than the Outlaws.
