Team Mainland China take 2-0 win and HK$300,000 in Return of the Legends Finals
A master class in positioning, pace and aggression as China dominate Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau side
Team Mainland China, dominant throughout the tournament, dealt a crushing defeat to the Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau side in the Return of the Legends Finals at the Coliseum on Sunday night.
The atmosphere in the Coliseum was electric. Although all players from both teams hold massive respect in the region, the crowd was overwhelmingly in support of THM. And the THM players couldn’t contain their delight as they came out to screams of supporters on their home turf. The crowd lost their minds when Hong Kong’s hero Toyz took to the stage. Nostalgia was in full effect for the season two legends.
On their home turf, and with four of the team looking to protect their reputations as World Champions, pride was on the line for THM.
Both teams looked on top form in their semi-final games, but Team China was obviously the superior team going in. With most of the players still regularly playing on streams, their mechanics were more polished, their rotations were consistently on point, and they punished each and every misstep from THM.
With Misaya on Twisted Fate and Toyz on Orianna, game one was shaping up to be very entertaining indeed. Toyz, unfortunately, failed to make any meaningful plays with Orianna. Misaya, however, did not disappoint on Twisted Fate, mercilessly punishing THM at every turn. The APC legend only conceded one kill in the last seconds when the game was already won, and could be seen chuckling to his teammates about his last minute carelessness.
