ANALYSIS
In Game 1 on Dragon Shire akaface could not keep up with the burst damage that Lag Force drafted with Malthael, Chromie, and Genji. The slow AOE healing nature of Lucio was a poor choice for such a bursty comp and one that akaface paid dearly for as his team started off the best-of-five series 0-1. Game 3, however, was a perfect example of when picking Lucio is awesome. Playing on Towers of Doom, Lag Force tried to go with the split siege strategy using Dehaka to solo and Lunara to help push front walls down. The slow poisoning nature of Lunara's damage dealing was perfectly countered by Lucio's AOE pulse healing. This clever hero counter made Lag Force's kill potential practically zero and easily handed Gale Force eSports the win.
