Not everyone can make it to the top. The losers bracket of the Overwatch League 2019 playoffs began on Sept. 7 and two teams failed to complete their redemption arc, including the league's inaugural season champions. In the first round of the loser\u2019s bracket, the Seoul Dynasty faced the Hangzhou Spark. After the Spark suffered a loss against the Los Angeles Gladiators in the quarterfinals, some questioned the team\u2019s ability to adjust to a brand new meta. Unfortunately for Seoul Dynasty fans, Hangzhou was able to get a grasp of the meta just in time. Even after hero plays from Seoul\u2019s main tank Hwang \u201cMarve1\u201d Min-seo as Sigma, the Spark simply had the upper hand. Spark\u2019s Park \u201cBazzi\u201d Jun-ki on Doomfist was a huge part of the team's eventual 4-1 win over the Dynasty.\u00a0 In an emotional post-match interview, Seoul Dynasty support duo Ryu \u201cRyujehong\u201d Je-hong and Yang \u201cTobi\u201d Jin-mo apologized to fans for the team\u2019s failings while shedding tears.\u00a0\u201cThroughout the whole season we really tried to improve ourselves and our gameplay...but we unfortunately fell short,\u201d said Ryujehong through interviewer Danny Lim. \u201cWe will try even harder next season to bring you more wins.\u201d\u00a0 After a heartbreaking loss yesterday to the Atlanta Reign, the San Francisco Shock quickly regrouped to face the London Spitfire in the loser\u2019s bracket. Despite London DPS Park \"Profit\" Joon-yeong showing absolute heroics on Pharah, San Francisco was out for blood. Shock DPS Kwon \"Striker\" Nam-joo and main support Grant \"Moth\" Espe shined as San Francisco swept the Spitfire 4-0. The London Spitfire, who won the first Overwatch League season championship in 2018, had a rough season. Though they fought their way into the playoffs through the play-in tournament, the Spitfire's elimination by the Shock ruins their chances for a two-year win streak. On Sept. 8, the winner's semifinal bracket begins. The Los Angeles Gladiators will face the Vancouver Titans at 2pm CT and the Atlanta Reign will take on the New York Excelsior at 5pm CT. The Hangzhou Spark and San Francisco Shock will move on to face the losers of the semifinal matches.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/07230447\/195154_S5W2D3_SeoulDynastyVsHangzhouSpark_Stewart-VollandD.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168702"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1722"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168702"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168702\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168702"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=168702"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=168702"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=168702"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=168702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Not everyone can make it to the top. The losers bracket of the Overwatch League 2019 playoffs began on Sept. 7 and two teams failed to complete their redemption arc, including the league's inaugural season champions. In the first round of the loser\u2019s bracket, the Seoul Dynasty faced the Hangzhou Spark. After the Spark suffered a loss against the Los Angeles Gladiators in the quarterfinals, some questioned the team\u2019s ability to adjust to a brand new meta. Unfortunately for Seoul Dynasty fans, Hangzhou was able to get a grasp of the meta just in time. Even after hero plays from Seoul\u2019s main tank Hwang \u201cMarve1\u201d Min-seo as Sigma, the Spark simply had the upper hand. Spark\u2019s Park \u201cBazzi\u201d Jun-ki on Doomfist was a huge part of the team's eventual 4-1 win over the Dynasty.\u00a0 In an emotional post-match interview, Seoul Dynasty support duo Ryu \u201cRyujehong\u201d Je-hong and Yang \u201cTobi\u201d Jin-mo apologized to fans for the team\u2019s failings while shedding tears.\u00a0\u201cThroughout the whole season we really tried to improve ourselves and our gameplay...but we unfortunately fell short,\u201d said Ryujehong through interviewer Danny Lim. \u201cWe will try even harder next season to bring you more wins.\u201d\u00a0 After a heartbreaking loss yesterday to the Atlanta Reign, the San Francisco Shock quickly regrouped to face the London Spitfire in the loser\u2019s bracket. Despite London DPS Park \"Profit\" Joon-yeong showing absolute heroics on Pharah, San Francisco was out for blood. Shock DPS Kwon \"Striker\" Nam-joo and main support Grant \"Moth\" Espe shined as San Francisco swept the Spitfire 4-0. The London Spitfire, who won the first Overwatch League season championship in 2018, had a rough season. Though they fought their way into the playoffs through the play-in tournament, the Spitfire's elimination by the Shock ruins their chances for a two-year win streak. On Sept. 8, the winner's semifinal bracket begins. The Los Angeles Gladiators will face the Vancouver Titans at 2pm CT and the Atlanta Reign will take on the New York Excelsior at 5pm CT. The Hangzhou Spark and San Francisco Shock will move on to face the losers of the semifinal matches.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/07230447\/195154_S5W2D3_SeoulDynastyVsHangzhouSpark_Stewart-VollandD.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168702"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1722"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168702"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168702\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168702"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=168702"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=168702"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=168702"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=168702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
