Xtreme did win the Lower bracket finals. It was a tough first 2 maps but in the 3rd map, I think team Zero lost their focus. It was all Xtreme Gaming on the last map.
Unfortunately for Xtreme Gaming, they were not able to get past Azure Ray. They just won one map against Azure Ray. I was not able to make a bet on the game, but it was fun watching the finals. It is first time in a long time that I saw the Clockwerk's hookshot-cog-battery assault-blademail combo. It was a classic way of playing Clockwerk and I have not seen it for a long time until today in Azure ray.
Congratulations to Azure Ray for clinching the first Regional Qualifier slot for TI 2023. The Meta is not yet set for this patch so we will see a lot of new plays, builds and hero line ups.
I think that B8 will be able to win the lower bracket finals later in NA regional qualifiers. But I think Dogchamp will give them a hard time. Anyway, if they win against Dogchamp later, there is still nouns blocking their ticket to TI.
Nouns will be a harder opponent and way better than B8 but we do not what will happen. There is still no Meta so anything can happen yet in this match. Maybe we can see an upset if they will be able to reach that far. But first, they have to eliminate Dogchamp first.
