The 2021 Overwatch League Countdown Cup kicked off Friday with explosive action as the Paris Eternal and Houston Outlaws picked up wins.
The Paris Eternal (7-6, 7 points) picked up its biggest win of the season to start the Countdown Cup, taking down the top team in the Western Region, the DallasFuel (9-4, 15 points), in a 3-2 nail-biter of a series. With the Countdown Cup s hero bans of Sigma, Echo, Ashe and Lucio, the Fuel were forced to play new compositions compared to what they had run for the entire season, namely Lucio-enabled brawl. The Eternal proved better at adapting to this new meta, running Wrecking Ball and Pharah compositions at a high level throughout the series.
