The latest Uprising flex support truly put his skills on display, hitting multiple multi-man Biotic Grenades against Houston. This match was an absolute highlight reel match for both Min-seob “Axxiom” Park and Sang-min “Myunb0ng” Seo. The “Toilet Bowl” brought the entertainment that everyone was expecting. Boston handedly took the first point against Houston, and after almost two hours, took the second point and the match. The game would head to Lijiang Tower to finally decide the victor. Luckily for all fans watching, the last three maps of the match were Control – meaning no one could possibly tie. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case, and Houston managed to win back to back maps to bring the match to a unprecedented map seven. Boston had gone up 2-0 against the Outlaws, and were poised to take the win after tying up Nepal 1-1. This match had two draws before Houston was able to win a map. Someone did eventually win, but not before having to slug it out in a rare seven-map marathon. Both teams came into the match winless, so one team had to win – right? Week 2 vs Houston Outlaws Meanwhile, Houston entered the week with two losses of their own, failing to win a single map in both matches. While Boston came off of a rough loss against New York, they had a week break to focus and practice the more common strategies. Only three weeks in, fans and analysts had a good idea just how these teams would shape up. It is crazy how early in the season this historic game occured. Because if the Uprising are anything, they are absolutely a team worth watching again. The year was undoubtedly a long one, and yet it is still a season that is worth revisiting. It was a long 28 weeks that started with a bit of excitement, then pivoted to a lot of disappointment, but ended with a glimmer of hope. For many Boston fans, the 2020 season was one to forget.
