WHO GOT DONE IN
In the hullabaloo that ensued after the start of the playoff bracket, Washington Justice was swept away in the first match of the loser’s bracket in a 3-0 series by the Atlanta Reign, who heavily relied on their DPS. Rookie-of-the-Year Oh “Pelican” Se-hyun and Petja “Masaa” Kantanen were the major damage dealers for Atlanta. Washington Justice was sent reeling down, which leaves Atlanta to face the Los Angeles Gladiators.
It was then the San Francisco Shock’s turn to get shot down and kicked to the curb by the Shanghai Dragons. They lost in a 1-3 series, which set them up to play against the Philadelphia Fusion. A bitter and intense battle brought about the demise of the Fusion with a 2-3 scoreline, and left the Shock to go against Chengdu Hunters in the lower bracket this September 23rd. Having lost to the Dallas Fuel in a 0-3 series aforehand, the battle against the Shock is Chengdu Hunter’s pass to remain in the playoffs.
