Seoul Dynasty vs Los Angeles Valiant

What a spectacular way to start off the day: Seoul Dynasty vs. Los Angeles Valiant! This isn't exactly the most premier match-up imaginable, but it's certainly not without its allure. Moreover, this clash carries a lot of significance for both Seoul and Los Angeles, albeit for entirely different reasons.

No one's all too sure how high to rank these two teams, but one thing is undeniable: they're definitely worth our undivided time and attention. Seoul, for one, are a top-tier challenger through and through, and they've got the record to prove it too: two wins and just a single loss isn't the most mind-blowing tally, but given whom they had to play against, it's quite stellar. They're currently tied for fifth with the two-time OWL champions San Francisco Shock and have been looking mighty dominant thus far. And that, in short, should come as no surprise.

With seasoned veterans like Profit, Gesture, Saebyeolbe, and Anamo, they've got all the right tools to not only compete for a spot at the top but also win out more often than not. They're stacked from head to toe and will only get better and better as time goes on. Whether they'll be able to secure a spot in the Top 5 still remains to be seen, but they're definitely close to it.

Conversely, the LA Valiant haven't looked nearly as cohesive or clean, but it's worth noting that they had one of the hardest schedules imaginable. Even so, they've shown us glimpses of potential, short flashes of brilliance, ever-fleeting, and should not be underestimated. They are by no means a top-tier behemoth, but they have a fairly varied arsenal of weapons and should definitely be able to grow into a solid, well-rounded gatekeeper.

Unfortunately, they're all but guaranteed to lose to Seoul Dynasty, a team that is simply better in every which way. It might be a bit closer than most folks expect, but Seoul should definitely be able to get the win, and in relatively clean fashion, too!
