Shanghai Masters

This weekend was a friendly show tournament among the Chinese OWL teams. It was a good way to get a sense of the new rosters for 2021 while we wait for OWL to start later next year. I was feeling pretty ill and stuffed with brain fog when I watched the vods, so my takeaways are a little half baked. Comps are pretty divey and Tracer/Ball appear to be staples. There was some double shield in the SHD/GZC match but Winston showed up just as often, and got a lot of work done. All the matches were close score wise but in both the KOTH maps were pretty lopsided, which indicates to me more that attack is hard in this meta more than anything that the power levels between teams are wider than the score shows.
