• Knockout Stage — Finals:
Well, that was an interesting best of five, DAMWON Gaming showed us a whole other level of gameplay and tactics. It was a well-deserved victory for them, I must say that it was expected at the end because no one really expected the underperformance of TES against SN. But let’s not forget our beloved Suning, they showed us their commitment through this Worlds2020 most of the fans jumped at their hype train, sofM & Bin showed us their true value but it wasn’t enough against the scary DWG.
The LCK region finally got back their trophy and we all know that the moment the LCK wins Worlds they will win it the 3 consecutive years coming. I’m hyped and excited for next season, things will get spicy.
Thank you
That’s all for this week Monday News… I wanted to talk about #StrikeArabia & #IAC but there isn’t much to say about them. For Valorant it’s just the start of the tournament so I will wait for things to get spicy and for the IAC nothings much has changed since last week. Thanks again for always supporting me, see you next week.
