Element Mystic took down Atlanta Academy today at the Overwatch<\/em> Contenders Gauntlet finals in a series that solidified the making of a second historic Korean Overwatch <\/em>dynasty. <\/p>
The final two matches of the tournament took place today and neither went exactly as one would imagine. In the loser\u2019s bracket final, Korean team RunAway were handed a devastating loss at the hands of North American team Atlanta Academy. The western squad were so dominant in this series, that they made history as the first team to ever win a series against RunAway without dropping any maps. <\/p>
Atlanta played with the kind of energy that only a young, boisterous and confident team could. The average age of this team is only 18 and it shows in the game. There were moments during the series in which their main support would be dueling the enemy team on Mercy instead of healing or where the team\u2019s hitscan DPS player would often push forward ahead of his team with no fear. <\/p>
Following their loss, many of the young players on RunAway hung their heads low and their passion and hard work could be visible seen rolling down their cheeks. <\/p>
