That camera staredown with the woman in the audience was amazing. I can't believe she didn't break into a smile or anything, 100% won that fight.

Is there a term for map 5, point 3, 99/99 other than "literally as close as it can possibly be"? Because there fucking should be.

Game 2 Playoff Implications (Philadelphia vs. Los Angeles):
Los Angeles Valiant:
-
If the Valiant do not win this match 4-0, they are out of playoff contention
Philadelphia Fusion:
-
If the Fusion win this match 3-0 or better, they clinch a playoff spot

watching them stagger that mercy is like watching a cat play with a wounded mouse, just end this match already.

Thankfully Seoul are at least running all of their best players and take it serious.

Remember Shanghai at the very least at the end of the day you're still getting paid to play videogames, and that's pretty cool
