JAKE – HOUSTON OUTLAWS – BRIGITTE
Stage four week one marked the first week Brigitte could be officially played in the Overwatch League, and Houston Outlaws player Jake gave her a very warm welcome with how well he played her against Boston Uprising on Friday.

Brigitte is allowing Overwatch League teams to get creative with new team comps, since she is so good at shutting down high mobility characters and tanks that require consistent accuracy to win 1v1 situations. Ultimately, if your use of her stun is on point then the rest of her kit will help you finish off almost every character, and Jake was amazing this week by landing stun after stun to finish off the squishies.
For example in the clip above, Jake stuns an enemy Tracer and is therefore able to combo her before she had a chance to blink. Not to mention he then finished the clip with another 2K in just a couple seconds.
Wait, don't leave! @jakeow just wants to be friends! #OWL2018

Then again on Hanamura he stuns Tracer to finish her with a melee/Rocket Flail combo and boxes in NotE as baby D.Va in a side room where she had absolutely no chance of getting out alive.
MONSTER play!! @jakeow #OWL2018

It would also be an injustice to not mention how great Jake played as one of his signature heroes Pharah against London Spitfire on Thursday, especially on the Garden stage of Lijiang Tower. The crowd went absolutely wild when Jake unleashed a massive barrage on the entire enemy team in a Grav, killing five with only Mercy getting away.
Players like Jake and LiNkzr are proving there is a reason Houston Outlaws now lie at the top of the Overwatch League standings due to their consistent and stellar performances.
