Atlanta is considered in the middle of the pack along with LA. They have one of the most versatile lineups in the league with many different weapons. Babybay, Erster, and Edison are three of their star players that work in a rotation.  Hawk, Gator, and Pokpo are their tank players that also work the same ways. Dogman, Masaa, and Kodak are their primary support players that are all very reliable.

This team will choose the best players for the best maps, so they will not go down without a battle. This is a well-rounded team that requires a lot of discipline to be run the way it does, and for the most part, they have been doing very well.

Player to Watch: Mirror

Mirror is in a pickle this week, as Echo is one of the heroes that will not be available this week. He has been exceptional as this character, and the author is concerned that he might go to his main Doomfist and fail to deliver like a couple of times before. Hopefully, they have managed to practice using lineups that involve Hanzo, Widowmaker, Mei, or other options. The League will also be without Sombra, D. Va, and Brigitte.

The Gladiators need to find their rhythm before they drop down in the rankings. The author feels that the Yaters have changed a lot of things up during the two-week break, so hopefully the team works more comfortably and can find answers to more opposing strategies. Then again, every team has had the chance to learn a thing or two, so they will need to be on their game across all six seats.

Prediction – Atlanta Reign wins (3-1)
