The Shanghai Dragons don't have a single foothold in the Spring Stage Knockouts East. They were sent to the lower bracket by a lesser team than O2 Blast, and now they're being put up to the task of O2 Blast themselves. The best Contenders team in the world likely will overlap one of the worst Overwatch League teams. For Dragons to win this, they have to show whatever signs of life it was that they were showing against the Seoul Dynasty.

It took one of the best Overwatch League teams in the world to send O2 Blast to the lower bracket of the Spring Stage Knockouts East by a 3-2 scoreline. For them to now be going up against one of the worst Overwatch League teams in the world is practically no challenge at all. This match is like a warm up for the rest of the lower bracket for them. They're expecting a 3-0 win in this match.
