I am disappointed that for the second day in a row, the 8pm match is Hong Kong. It was so boring yesterday that I switched to Netflix. At least I’ll enjoy watching South Korea stomp them more than Russia…

I know what you mean, unfortunately this will probably even be more depressing to watch. Because if Hong Kong loses this match any hopes of them even remotely making the top two will be lost.

Match starts in 30 minutes and the Stream should now be live. On a side note you may now go to YouTube or Twitch to watch the match.

5

15 minutes to the start of the first match tonight. Looks like they’re skipping the pre-show this time around.

6

I hope I’m not the only one watching tonight. Nevertheless, this will be my last bump unless I see any other activity on this thread. The match is now beginning!!

7

I’m watching. I was excited when HK got a team kill. I’m rooting for them to make the match interesting, even tho I’m rooting for SK.

8

At least HK isn’t just running GOATS over and over. That’s an improvement?

9

On a positive note, we are likely to get through this match in a timely manner.

My bet is South Korea will use 47 seconds of match time to take the map.

:persevere: Come on South Korea, at least hold up to my expectations.

13

Carpe totally just charged up HK’s Zarya. They don’t even care.

14

If we could only get OWL tokens at the end of every map in these matches, we’d be able to cash out a skin real quick.

Hong Kong from here on out is playing for pride as they are now mathmatically eliminated from Top 2 contention:

I hope Moowe gets picked up by the Guangzhou OWL team. He’s doing pretty good against Carpe.

19

Very true, that is assuming Carpe was giving his 100%. I felt like he was being his usual cocky self especially in the last map.

I haven’t watched every escort map, but have they all been Rialto? I feel like im watching dejavu
