October 7, 2017

The fall of 2017 is shaping up to have a bountiful amount of international Overwatch tournaments, with APAC Premier 2017 and the World Cup playoffs looming in the distance. Staking its claim in the calendar on the 15th of October is the OGN Seoul Supercup, featuring the best of Korea’s and China’s elite echelons competing at the Hanyang University Stadium.

Fighting on home turf are Cloud9 Kongdoo and Lunatic-Hai. Cloud9 Kongdoo were the runner ups in the APEX Season 3 grand finals, and recently reached the semifinals of APEX Season 4 in flying colors. Lunatic-Hai have on their end held the Iron Throne for two APEX seasons since Season 2, but were dethroned after their elimination in the Season 4 quarterfinals.

Coming west of Korea are the roaring dragons of China, who've sent Lucky Future and Miraculous Youngster as their representatives. Lucky Future snagged the bronze medal in the Premier Series 2017 - Spring, but failed to pass the quarterfinals in the Premier Series 2017 - Summer and the Premier Series 2017 - Finals. Miraculous Youngster on the other hand have been declared the best team in the China, taking both the Premier Series 2017 - Summer and the Premier Series 2017 - Finals trophies.

The tournament will use a single-elimination bracket, beginning with Lucky Future vs. Cloud9 Kongdoo, and Lunatic-Hai battling vs Miraculous Youngster in the semifinals. The two winners from those matches will meet in the grand finals to determine who claims the prize in the Seoul Supercup.

Miraculous Youngster getting to rumble with some of Korea's titans will be insanely interesting. I have high hopes for them, they've looked great in China and I don't think they're far behind Korea either.

HOLY PogChamp. Lunatic-Hai, who have been slipping in the Korean ranks recently, and C9 Kongdoo, who have cemented themselves as dominant figures in Korea. This will be interesting, I predict it will be C9 Kongdoo 2-3 Miraculous Youngster

LH coach said that LH (or Team Seoul) fans would hear a good news on the match day. So people are assuming they will have new members in the roster for the game against MY. It is rumored that Fleta and Munchkin will be a new DPS duo for the team.

But at the same time, I am a bit confused. LH and Team Seoul are not the same team although they share a majority of members between each other. I don't know at all how the terms and conditions of the contract between LH and Team Seoul describe the relationship but it is somewhat weird to see they do not use clear wording to make distinction between the two teams.
