Super League Season 2 Group A Concludes!

On Wednesday we said goodbye to the first team in Group A: RAVE HOTS. Though they showed incredible strength in-game, their competitors were able to consistently outdraft them and expose their weak points. In the next match, both Mighty and RoMg had the potential to dominate and, as it turns out, one team did: Mighty! As Wolf and Doa said, RoMg put up a good fight but they played as if they were in Hero League and that lack of team coordination was their downfall. MVP Black and Mighty are now the first two teams moving on to the Playoffs!
