If any Boston Uprising fan told you that this team would leave their opening weekend 2-0, they were either lying or completely delusional. Facing two of the top four teams from the Kickoff Clash would be a tough ask for any team with a winning record, let a lone a team that say at 2-4 before the weekend. The Boston Uprising had an impossible task ahead of them.
Simply put, a win for them would just simply be looking competitive. Surely a professional organization can muster at least some competitive plays.

Well they did and they didn’t. Viewers went into this matchup with zero expectations, other than knowing that Boston would get rolled. Imagine the surprise to onlookers that Boston would actually fight back against Atlanta to make a close series. Luckily everything went back to normal after a thorough shellacking by the Shock to end the weekend on a sour note.
Despite it all there are some things to takeaway from this rough weekend, and hopefully the Uprising can make the necessary adjustments to right the ship.
Boston Should Really Play that Sojourn Character
The biggest surprise of the weekend was the emergence of Sojourn as the primary carry for OWL teams. For those who missed it, Soider: 76 received a pretty substantial nerf that caused him to fall out of favor with hitscan players. That opened the door for some experimenting, and most teams found that Sojourn was a character that could seamlessly slot into the Soldier spot.
After all, the two play almost identically with the exception of the one-shot potential from Sojourn.
