StarCraft 2 Showmatch: UC Berkeley vs. TianJin U
Stream Link
Games will be LIVE at 5:30pm PDT
There is only one honor that fills competitors with more passion than fighting for their college, and that is fighting for their country. That passion is intensified when the battle is between two countries with great standing both in esports, and the world at large: the USA and China.
Last year's CSL StarCraft 2 champions, University of California Berkeley, returned to put last year's team to the test once more against the winners of a Chinese equivalent to CSL, TianJin University. The Chinese league is sponsored by a Chinese company, NTES, and Blizzard China and boats around 150 universities participating.
Despite this being a show match between the two organizations and their respective countries, there is much more on the line than prizes, and that is pride for their schools and even more so, glory for their country. UCB made sure to bring their championship squad to the match, and yes that includes Suppy.
TianJin has their own ace player though in the form of Invictus Gaming Academy’s iA, or iAsonu. For a little backstory: iG.iA is a Zerg player who made it into WCS America this season before falling to Arthur 3-1 in the challenger league stage.
