Oh jeez this is going to be a drubbing. I don’t see any way the team that lost to Austria get anything from the US. Honestly they might not even get a single point
Okay I’m still confused why Belgium didn’t qualify, I thought it was top 20 non-hosts joining Korea, US, France and Thailand, and I’m fairly sure they were #17 at the time
I’m just waiting for USA vs Canada. Damn it Blizz, putting the most anticipated matchup at the end. I would have done the same, but that’s all I want to watch.
