It's not encouraging that both of the offseason tournaments featuring Hangzhou players (Shanghai Masters + experimental card) have resulted in us getting brutally demolished. I guess we just barely beat Chengdu in the former, but still.

Finals are on for NA, Boston vs Reign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md3ZJmcs_pQ

Paris won EMEA against Contenders team New Kings. Finals VOD here (in french; Neptuno streamed them in english but they're sub-only) https://twitch.tv/videos/966393876

Chengdu's team won CN by beating the SHD/Team CC hybrid, VOD here (chinese) https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV14i4y1P76F

NYXL won KR. Strangely enough this didn't seem to have an official stream? They only streamed the Contenders All-Stars exhibition matches. I guess Blizz was Blizz and they had to choose between two events to cast and god forbid they spend money, or something :shrug:

that feels like an offensive failure more than an amazing defense.

If they just stepped off to finish kills it would have ended fast. They were playing like it was OT and they couldnt leave the cap.

"Go on until you're stopped."
Illinois pulled off an insane move on King's Row in the collegiate tournament today, as a charging Reinhardt pops out of the teleporter set on top of Mondatta's statue to fly onto the balcony and pin the Widowmaker.

If that description isn't enough to interest you, they've announced today that they're adding viewership rewards to collegiate now. Watch from the contenders website and you can earn Xbox Echo and Brig this month.

Yeah but those slots are only useful for hitting two of the three high ground defensive positions. You can’t really see too much else there

you can target down the entire corner through the first part of the straightaway but yeah this isn't some bold new strategy or anything just never knew about it (and apparently neither did the announcers). he did plink some headshots though
