After a hard-fought 3-0 loss to the Guangzhou Charge, Seoul need to bounce back quick. Luckily they're gonna come up against the Dragons today which seems perfect for any team needing to rebound back into a win. After defeating the Infernal it was clear Seoul aren't a team that's going to get completely rolled over every map, but we also saw that its not impossible for them to lose games. They're not the top team, but they're tournament worthy, so they need to stack up some more wins.

In one of the most surprising twists of the season, the Shanghai Dragons are in fact, awful. Failing to pick up a single map win yet, this team of stars is really struggling. Its difficult to identify the problem given these players are so well know. Perhaps its Fleta changing from the DPS role to the Tank role, as well as Diem moving from the DPS role to the Support role. Maybe they're just not quite as good in those positions as they were in more successful years.
