CS Asia Championship
This event has been going on for two days, and there’s been about a hundred games, none of which make any sense whatsoever.
Possibly the biggest shock of the opening round was TYLOO beating MOUZ - but because the opening round was BO1, it’s not all that surprising and kinda kills the vibe a little bit.
Welcome back, 2015. We missed you. Can’t you give us back the Batman: Arkham series instead? Much better.
TYLOO went on to lose to Legacy and paiN to be dumped out in the lower bracket (one step further than BC.Game, who also lost to paiN), leaving MOUZ to face paiN for qualification tomorrow, and Legacy will face Falcons in the upper bracket, who avoided all of the booby traps set for them. An untidy, but functional, win over M80 got them there.
M80 took a map off of MOUZ, too - even if they got fisted in the other two, they look sort of dangerous. They ran Falcons close twice, which is more than we expect from an NA team, really.
Speaking of… is it even newsworthy when Liquid lose any more?
They lost 2-1 to The MongolZ (who had lost to B8 in a BO3, worrying) after an opening round loss to PARIVISION in a BO1. PARIVISION are all over the shop at the moment, but they’ve bumbled their way to the lower bracket final against The MongolZ by knocking Lynn Vision out.
NIP managed to lose to Lynn Vision, by the way, which is almost as bad as 3DMAX losing to Liquid.
MIBR and B8 are in the upper bracket final, for crying out loud. This event is wild. B8, as we mentioned, beat The MongolZ, and MIBR 2-0’d PARIVISION really comfortably. We know nothing. We understand even less.
If Falcons manage to not win this event, they really should go back to the drawing board and start again. Or sign one more star.
