The 2021 Overwatch League Summer Showdown continued to deliver unpredictable action on Sunday as the Paris Eternal, Boston Uprising and Toronto Defiant picked up victories.
The biggest match of the day was the Paris Eternal (5-5, 5 points) making a shocking comeback against the Los Angeles Gladiators (7-3, 7 points), completing a 3-2 reverse sweep. The Gladiators started strong and looked poised to sweep through the Eternal, taking Oasis 2-0 and Eichenwalde 2-1.
Then, on Route 66, Paris adjusted their play style, shifting their tempo up to try and wrestle control of the flow away from Los Angeles. The Gladiators didn't respect the adjustment, leading to a 3-2 win for the Eternal. This would continue on Temple of Anubis, leading to a 2-1 Paris win to bring the series to a Game 5.
