Overwatch World Cup: USA Group Stage Round Up

Day 1

The weekend starts with Austria and Canada facing off against each other, with Canada entirely shutting the Austrian team down 4 – 0. Switzerland came into the next match afraid of losing every map, Instead, they start by winning the first, but are shut out for the rest of the round, Norway take this match up 3 – 1. Canada return to the stage next facing up against Brazil and thanks to some clutch Zarya play they make it their second 4 – 0 shut out of the day. The next match comes from Austria facing off against the USA and it ends with a 4 – 0 shutout in favour of team USA. Finally, Norway and Brazil bring us the last match of the day, the first match of the day to go to a 5th map, with the series ultimately going to Brazil.
