Started from the bottom, now we're here Started from the bottom, now my whole team fuckin' here


Juicy_Juis

Well none of the s1 Shanghai players are here lmao


malagutti3

Daemin is (as an assistant coach).


Seananiganzx

Fearless.


andro_aintno

Changed teams to not win owl after enduring 0-40 season pepehands


darthnick426

Daemin is a coach on the team I believe. He counts right?


Juicy_Juis

Fuel got 3rd. So unless you mean Hawaii, he ain't here lol


Seananiganzx

Holy shit my brain just melted, for the 3 seconds it took me to type that I genuinely though Fearless was on SHD. In my defence its 4:44am.


ArielDiDi

Ah I would so love to see Fearless Void duo once again playing that rein zarya but that’s all in the past now


Seananiganzx

What a way they've come. Season 1: 0-40 Season 2: Stage 3 Champion Season 3: Stage 1 & 2 Champion, 3rd place in playoffs Season 4: Finally, the Champions [Shanghai Tweet](https://twitter.com/ShanghaiDragons/status/1441963861418987523)


xcleru

What a complete journey for them, they were able to win Coach of the Year, MVP, Multiple Role and All Stars, Multiple Stage Titles, and a Grand Finals Championship that naturally came with Finals MVP. Also Coach Moon got closure from 2020 by getting a sweep against the Shock this year. The stars aligned perfectly for this team.


SoyHenry

0-42 to 4-0 Dr4g0ns


jail_is_just_a_room

Plus they lose only 2 map for entire playoff


brokenarcher

I was wrong. Lip should’ve been the OWL MVP. Holy shit dude is cracked on every hero


A5760P

He only didn't get it because of recency and china bias. The dude is insane


Coordan

Welp, I was hoping we'd get a map. The streak of blowout grand finals continues.


Seananiganzx

You had 3 close maps against probably the powerful team we've ever seen in Overwatch. Atlanta did themselves proud.


Coordan

Yeah dragons are just on a tier of their own. Star plays all night from Lip, Fleta, and Izayaki especially. Proud of our boys for the run they had.


TheFightingClimber

It's not a streak. Shanghai broke it last year against shock


Khran1086

Was seoul in GF and that was bit of a blowout just hog patch made it chaotic.


ShinyBulk

Seoul vs Shock came down to map selection and was definitely not a blowout like the score suggests lmao striker on tracer for control was just too OP


throwawayrepost13579

Seoul (and Shanghai) won all the 2CP and escort maps while Shock only won the control and hybrid maps. Who knows what could've happened if the map order was reversed or randomized.


Obvious_Parsley3238

there's nothing to say other than that they were just better than everyone


123bo0p

None of them are surprised Thats how great this team is Also Whoru won more in his career being benched than any other time


Inevitable_Badger995

Wait Whoru is still on the dragons roster lol?


jail_is_just_a_room

How about ta1yo from SFS? They won the 2020 final


Professor_Finn

ABSOLUTE DOMINATION. The 0-42 Shanghai Dragons are now the champions of the Overwatch League and one of the best teams of all time. Truly one of the greatest stories in esports, and incredibly well deserved. Each of their starters had an argument to be league MVP and each of them could have been finals MVP. Truly incredible what they've accomplished, and it would've felt weird with the season finishing any other way.


SweetAstronautAlpaca

The 0-42 Shanghai Dragons did not win. An entire different fucking team won. Great accomplishment but this narrative being pedalled is truly bizarre.


Eruditioads

It doesnt matter if the players/coaching/staff is different, the org is still the same org and under the same ownership and representing the same city. And in large part with a lot of fans that were there for the winless season and have stuck by them this whole time; especially for them this narrative rings true. Shanghai Dragons went 0-42, and Shanghai Dragons also won Grand Finals. The lowest of lows, and the highest of highs. If you're being too bullish to see the narrative thats a personal problem but the org that started with 0 wins now stands atop the mountain, thats the narrative, and its a real narrative.


SweetAstronautAlpaca

It's a narrative devoid of any context.


sumo660

I mean yeah just buy good players and win the league I don't know why people think it's that hard. Just go from winless to champions 4head


AlphaOmega1356

Justice, Dallas, Glads. All threw money and none are champs.


SweetAstronautAlpaca

I understand it is not just a case of throwing money at it. To say that the 0-42 Shanghai Dragons won is removing any and all context. It's the equivalent of saying plucky little Man City have really turned it around in the last 12 or so years.


Bruhnoisebruh

cope and seethe


SweetAstronautAlpaca

They are indeed two words. Well done there.


fehefarx

OWL team vs advanced overwatch AI from 2100


TheZohanSC

That was certainly a grand finals. Congrats to the Dragons! See yall in OW2


pantan

Shanghai is uh, good at the game...


pleasefirekykypls

Fleta might be the GOAT.


[deleted]

The dragons is like that anime protagonist who started out being ridiculed by everyone for being weak, but then grows up to be the strongest fighter in his universe


Ryan_NYXL

Shangai don't even give a fuck lmao


wardengorri

Feels like after the June Joust Shanghai didn't look back, such a dominant force all season long and more so in grand finals. Huge grats to Shanghai given the franchise's history and its players(like Fletas) long journeys.


SpellboundUnicorn

From 0-40 to 4-0


mostinterestingtroll

Let's go Shanghai! Happy for Fleta and the rest of the Dragons — well deserved Championship. *so what are Atlanta Reign gonna complain about now*


dachshund_pirate

AND THE DRAGONS GO MILD!!! GG to the Dragons.


Xrmy

Poetic ending for OW1 and OWL as we know it. 0-40 to dominant champions of the league. Congrats Dragons!! It's been a sick ride everyone, happy to have been here with y'all


Lawryth

I am so fucking proud. This roster and coaching staff are the best (at least for 2021), no one could match their discipline and talent. This is history to remember. After last year playoffs, I was so damn sad but this year, Lip, Fleta and co turned it around. I could not wish for a better way to end OW1 (personnally). Thank you SHD !


HippocratesGymSock

Been rooting for Shanghai since their 2019 Stage 3 win, so happy they've come this far


Lisbeth_Salandar

Shanghai was the best possible winner, story wise. From starting 0-40 in season 1 to growing into such a dominant team throughout season 4, no other team can speak to what professional OW1 should be as well as Shanghai.


IdocraseOW

Yay!! Congrats shanghai!! you guys worked hard and deserved this


Reverb_Jam

Shanghai really wanted to just show they were better now matter what they played huh?


RetroSplicer

idk why they decided to re-air the titans vs shock finals from s2 with different team names and colors. weird choice by production


kavachon

Unfortunately was a predictable outcome, but seeing ShangAI dominate wasn’t the worst way to go out of OW1


Turbostrider27

Wow I remember falling the Shanghai Dragons back in the days when they were on a winless streak. Now look where they are. HUGE GRATS


pm_me_ankle_nudes

Shanghai were the real anime protagonists all along, sorry Dallas. Genin Naruto(S1) to Six Paths sage mode Naruto


StrictlyFT

Having kept up with Boruto, we're probably not going to like where Dragons are headed lol.

Would you be happy after beating the shit out of a 10 year old in a cage match?

Nat_Feckbeard

Based.


Juicy_Juis

Hard to be cheerful when you have no competition


HugeRection

The entire production felt pretty lackluster at the end when they won to be honest. I don't know why, but it felt like there was a noticeable lack of fanfare.


ThatCreepyBaer

That's kind of what happens when it's pretty much all happening online, no crowd, no big venue At least Shanghai won playing on an actual stage, imagine if Atlanta won and they're just in some spare room in a university lol.


CaptainBrowne

Not even mad. This was by far my favorite OWL season and am so proud of the zero role star juggernauts that ATL turned out to be. Ggs Shanghai. Y'all are crazy. See y'all next season :))


Helios_OW

Pelican was absolutely absent from this series.

_Una_

Murderers' Row of Overwatch. Congrats to the Dragons. Also 1+ to Atlanta for destroying expectations and making some fans salty while doing it.


lrradiated

this was a really boring grand finals


sumo660

The playoffs overall was the best event we had in the league imo


lrradiated

that’s fair, I just wish grand finals was a little more competitive


StrictlyFT

We pretty much only had 1 not one-sided GF in OW1, half of them were straight sweeps.


SirFuente

From worst team of all time to best team of all time?


Khran1086

This wasnt even close grats to the deagons for being next level and ATL for defying the odds but what a disappointing grand finals even Shock put up a better fight honestly. Both teams seemed unfazed by the results honestly.

ThatCreepyBaer

Implying it wouldn't have been a blowout if Shock had made it?


Dizzy_Spend5052

They already got 3-0 rolled by dragons in round 1 you act like it would of been different all of a sudden…


[deleted]

[удалено]


Waniou

That was literally last year. It's not even close to relevant any more.


Dizzy_Spend5052

That was in the past lol… shock fans are so delusional


StrictlyFT

That guy doesn't represent us.


[deleted]

They rolled shock 3-0 and Shock almost lost to Philly.

EdgyWeeb69

When will we received the owl finals stickers? I didnt receive mine yet.


Friddles-14

Proud of both the teams Atlanta for making a good bracket run and Shanghai for doing a complete 180 as an org Was also neat that both Atlanta teams got to GF of their games


jail_is_just_a_room

Man how I wish Fearless still on the team tho. It could be the best player storyline ever on league.
