Coming off of a loss to the region leaders in Guangzhou Charge, Spark need a quick rebound. Sadly, they didn't get the easiest team to grab a win off of, since that barely exists in the region at all. Seoul is a team they have expectations of overcoming, but after how shaky the standings have been in both seasons, nobody is to say they can't be beaten. After a 3-0 loss to Guangzhou, Spark can't be feeling all that great. They have to brush off what happened in the game against the highest ranked team in the league and return to form as a dominant force once again.

Seoul Dynasty had a rough second week, but not a helpless one. They look like a strong enough core, that just needs time to develop into the meta and step up to the high ranked teams. If anything, this may just not be a good meta for the Dynasty, and we may have to wait for the next patch to hit the league before we see a big change. With players like Void, Profit, and Krillin though, you would hope they have enough adaptability to thrive in any meta, not wait for one they think feels right. The Huangzhou Spark are not quite the very top, but high enough for Seoul to be able to gauge just how close they are to those top teams in their region.
