Before the cats came: The web of 1995 leaves me nostalgic for simpler times
The San Francisco Shock (5-2) moved into fifth place overall with a 3-0 win over the Los Angeles Valiant (2-6). The Shock took Ilios 2-0, Hanamura 4-3, and Route 66 3-2 to secure the win. The fourth-ranked New York Excelsior (6-1) made its return to action after a couple of weeks on hiatus to take a 3-0 win over the Chengdu Hunters (3-6).
1995 was the year the popup ad popped up, starting the race to the bottom of intrusive, interruptive, attention-grabbing tactics that 25 years later give us the overlays, push notification requests, newsletter signups, autoplay and more that pay the bills for the sites that cost you 10 seconds of close-clicking unwanted elements obscuring the page — just to spend two seconds figuring out that a Google-SEO-gamed snippet misled you about the content.
Suck was sort of the opposite. A rude, irreverent and slickly packaged (for the time) take on the news of the day with the tag line «a fish, a barrel, and a smoking gun,» full of bite-sized snarky bits that presaged the writing style of Web 2.0. It launched and perished with the dotcom bubble.
in the long run. The Valiant played well around DPS Kai «KSP» Collins, rotating his DPS partner between Johannes «Shax» Nielsen and Kyle «KSF» Frandanisa. KSP and the crew shredded through the Justice, who are still working on integrating their newest acquisitions and entering a soft rebuild.
The Fusion (14-1) had a strong showing against the Outlaws (5-10), dominating the frontline battle through main tank Su-min «SADO» Kim.
While Houston fought hard, with some moments of beating out Philadelphia's star-studded lineup, it couldn't keep up with the sheer mechanical skill coming from the Fusion and their deep bench.
Philadelphia took Nepal 2-0, won out a crazy Volskaya Industries 6-4 in triple overtime, and closed the series out with a 5-4 overtime win on Rialto. Philadelphia stays in second place overall with the win while Atlanta dropped from fifth to seventh.
The Dragons stayed on the Fusion's heels with the win while the Charge fell from 11th to 12th. Guangzhou played without support Alberto «neptuNo» Gonzalez, who had to leave the team due to visa complications.
