This past weekend's Clash Royale League World Finals had perhaps the greatest esports match ever played. The closest thing I can compare it to, in terms of shock and passion, is one of the greatest baseball games ever played. ClashRoyal CRLFinals
Here’s the scenario: Team Liquid is taking on SK Gaming in the semi-finals of Clash Royale League’s most important event. Each round is a best-of-three situation, with teams competing in 2 v 2 and 1 v 1 matches, and if they’re tied at that point they go on to a final King of the Hill match.
Here’s where the matchup became something historic. Liquid immediately staked a commanding lead in King of the Hill, with KaNaRiOooo defeating two of SK’s players. SK was down to its last player, Morten, who had to bear the weight of the team’s entire season on his shoulders while needing three straight victories to win the round. There was basically no reason to expect him to be able to pull this off.
Well, Morten beat Egor, and fairly easily. He was making a last-ditch stand to keep SK from elimination, and now had only one match left, against Surgical Goblin. The momentum had clearly swung from Liquid towards Morten, who was riding high after taking down two Liquid players in a row. Morten quickly jumped out to a lead over Surgical Goblin, and seemed poised to polish off one of the most impressive and unlikeliest comebacks in Clash Royale League history.
I won’t even try to act like the Clash Royale League finish hit me in the same way as that Braves game. My interest inis purely professional, with an almost clinical remove; my love for the Braves and baseball is a lifelong passion integrally tied up with my sense of community, family and self. Still, I can recognize passion in others, and can tell when something shocking has happened.
