Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Dive! Azael, Kobe, and Meteos recap the latest rounds of playoffs, Kia Top 6 MVP, player of the series, and make their predictions for finals. They also discuss what it takes to be at the top, the importance of team dynamics, and best/worst Scrim strategies. Also, Kobe doesn’t know who Lionel Messi is (he knows his name, but wouldn’t recognize his face). Is that crazy? Or is it actually impressive, in this day and age? Anyways, FINALS are THIS WEEKEND - Cloud9 takes on Team Liquid Honda in the Lower Bracket Finals on Saturday, March 30th at 1:00PM PT/4:00PM ET, and the winner faces FlyQuest on Sunday, March 31st at 1:00PM PT/4:00PM ET. Who will take it all? Who will be going to MSI? Thanks for watching, and tune in for next week’s episode for the DIVE AWARDS!
