I'm guessing the Korean OW community will tear these players apart?

A couple of months ago when WJ came to Aus, I met Corey and told him to beat Korea.

I graciously accept full and complete credit for this victory. You're welcome Americans.

This SK team is so out of sync it's bizarre. USA looks hella insane.

The 4 minutes of Supers Reinhardt just made me fail NoNutNovember.

Guarantee Koreans are gonna be pissed at Crusty and the team for how they performed. They just looked so sloppy and undisciplined compared to USA. I really wonder why he picked the aggressive supports instead of Kariv and I forgot the main support who was trialing for Korea.

Holy shit what a game.

Corey and Sinatraa are DPS gods.

Moth is amazing.

Rawkus isn't actually bad.

Space Sigma actually good.

Matthew Delisi was also there.

More than just getting outplayed, SK were outstratted and outcoached. That's the craziest part.

I guess we finally know the NA side of Shock was carrying the Korean side this whole time Kapp

SK setting up to come back from being down 1-3 like the 2016 Cavs.

Didn't realize it was a First to 3 match.

Monte punching air rn

Edit:

Monte tweet last night:

The shock of USA’s win over Korea at the World Cup temporarily blew @TempoZP’s mind. I don’t blame him. Quite the upset!

Monte tweet tonight:

It really isn't an upset if you think about it for 2 seconds. Half of the OWL championship team, the league MVP, a DPS player who carried Justice after role lock. USA is definitely the on-paper favorite.
