That was a decent match, but Atlanta definitely threw it away between the Volskaya C9 and that last fight on Route 66.
Time to see if Toronto will shock the Shock!

Have you seen Haksal? tbh though he does have a pog team next to him.
Hex can do better. Partnering him with Semmler is just about the worst thing you could do. Hex isn't an outgoing fellow by nature and Semmler constantly eggs him on to make color, on-the-fly commentary, and that's just not Hex's thing, but he seems to have settled into the role.
Hex was much better when he partnered with ZP. ZP could handle a whole match casting by himself, and Hex was comfortable quietly filling in the gaps as they went along.
Atlanta :(
Dafran should have grav'd much sooner on the second to last fight but I think he was really scared of Poko eating it. They probably could have contested again without the Doom and Hammond throw picks too.

Yeah I mean, I just never get the feeling like they have much chemistry together. And Hex just seems to just always be talking about pretty much the same thing Semmler is.
I haven't seen Hex and ZP but ZP just seems to be fantastic with everyone. It's a shame he's not in OWL.
Semmler and Hex are the worst duo right now. They are somehow even worse than last season.
GG Fusion, going to the semi-finals. Wanted to hear the casters eat their words but I guess they aren't up to that.
Dafran was absolutely scared for Poko eating his grav off all the other ones he did leading up to that point in the match.

GOATS is harder to cast, and as I said before Hex is settled into the role more I think (for the worse).
The former point is more significant I think. Doa's noticeably worse too and Monte in turn is doing a bad job at humoring his jokes. Doa can still be insightful sometimes though, and he's more inoffensive in periods of downtime as opposed to Semmler's rowdier behavior which usually just comes across as obnoxious.
I want to peg it on the casters being frustrated with this metagame. To the others' credit, Achillos/Wolf and UberX are holding up pretty well.
Hollywood has been picked quite a bit, NYXL vs Seoul yesterday as an example.
San Francisco Sharks indeed.
I think expecting a close match out of Philly vs. Atlanta is fair. I was kinda expecting Shock to stomp Defiant though. ... maybe not quite this hard.

Geez, Shock rolled over Toronto on King's Row.
Everyone kind of called this roll, though. Shock are just finally executing their potential the way everyone expected them to.

I actually like Semmler just because his energy
I know its not a popular opinion but so many of the casters are just kinda way low key a lot of time time and at least Semmler always seems in a good mood and brings some energy to the casting
I got here 15 mins late to see Shock for up 2-0 lmaoooo
COME ON BOYS BRING IT BACK
I DROVE FOR 1 HOUR FOR THIS

Yeah, he's nuts. I think the biggest difference is that he has a better supporting crew this year. Last year it was just frustrating and stressful watching him go all out all the time
It straddles a line. I agree it's not always terrible, and there are benefits to him having there, but I personally would swap him out for ZP in a heartbeat.
Real talk
ZP / Jake would be a WAAAAAAAY more POG casting duo for OWL than Semmler / Hex
