What a match! Ranefur made some incredible combos!

 

[MatsushimaAlc]

Awesome match. Sora once again clutch when it matters. And Elias showcasing great tactics, as well as big improvement in overall playing strenght even though he's closing in on 30yo

Sora comes through. But Ranefur continues the legend. I still remember those who thought LSD has no business losong to him. National team depth is not a good thing for the great players who never get their opportunity to shine but some are patient and persistent and get their chance. Happily Ranefur got his chance.

And now, time to watch Hayata suffer... Hopefully for a good cause.

Ito and Hayata are now the "cancer cells" in the team that not just care about themselves only but are eating away at team morale by suppressing their teammates while they can't do jack against the CNT, something that CNT is eager to see continuing. Harimoto/Hirano simply doesn't work (they didn't even work on WD) and the lineup is built around the XT rather than WS.

A good fight from Hina. She was already pressing at the end of SYB's match.
