RICHARD KAY On How Hunt Proved There apos;s Still Place For The apos;nice Guy apos;

2021-01-08T12:04:31Z

HopeDeBoos48:

How ironic, you may think, that talk of Jeremy Hunt in recent times has so often been prefaced by observations on his genial disposition. 'Nice bloke… decent chap… affable', are the usual epithets bandied around by fellow MPs whenever his name comes up. The fact is that the longest-ever serving Health Secretary, and a [https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/politician politician] whose tenure as Foreign Secretary has been as gaffe-free as his predecessor [/news/boris_johnson/index.html Boris Johnson]'s was gaffe-laden, is a surprisingly unshowy figure. On the surface he would appear to offer his [http://search.usa.gov/search?affiliate=usagov&query=enemies enemies] no point of attack. But this armour of smiling friendliness is both an asset and - potentially - a liability. 'Nice bloke… decent chap… affable', are the usual epithets bandied around by fellow MPs whenever Jeremy Hunt's name comes up, writes Richard Kay In the weeks since the Tory leadership campaign began, it has not been his flip-flopping on a no-deal Brexit that has been damaging to his ambitions, as much as the perception that he is nothing more than Mrs May Mark II, or 'Theresa in Trousers' - piquantly abbreviated to 'Tit'. In another age, Hunt's easy-going charm and good looks - it is not that long ago he was voted 'most-fanciable man' in Westminster - would have been a shoo-in as Conservative leader and PM. But amid the turmoil of Brexit, his managerial approach to politics, and what has been described as an 'impenetrable blandness', even his friends have been left wondering if he possesses the ruthlessness to not only make it to No10 but to succeed once there. People see him as 'too nice': [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-trung-quoc-ha-khau-con-minh-le-giang-shangrila-shangri-la-6-ngay.html tour lệ giang shangrila] perfectly well-equipped at running a department - civil servants have described him as a joy to work for - but they question whether competence alone is enough in these turbulent times. In a since-deleted tweet, former Tory peer Lord (Andrew) Cooper said Hunt's conversion from Remainer to Brexiteer made him an 'unprincipled windsock'. But his supporters - and he has secured impressive backing from a string of Cabinet colleagues - say this pragmatism is actually a strength. And [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-trung-quoc-ha-khau-con-minh-le-giang-shangrila-shangri-la-6-ngay.html tour du lịch lệ giang] that there is a steely, unflappable determination. Aware his good-natured reputation could be seen as a weakness - and keen to show that he was not the continuity candidate - his leadership campaign presented him as a tough negotiator with a bold vision. Hunt's supporters (pictured) - and he has secured impressive backing from a string of Cabinet colleagues - say this pragmatism is actually a strength. And that there is a steely, unflappable determination, writes Richard Kay He has responded to critics by pointing to his successes in government, from oversight of the London Olympics as Culture Secretary, imposing a contract on warring junior doctors while Health Secretary, to setting up Yemen peace talks as Foreign Secretary. Friends also highlighted his stand-off with Mrs May during the 2018 winter crisis in the NHS when he refused to be moved from his job, as an example of his toughness. But as the contest narrowed in recent days, Hunt unveiled his 'secret weapon' - his wife Lucia, 11 years his junior, who he met in 2008 when he was in his early forties. In an interview with the Mail on Sunday at the weekend, the mother of three spoke powerfully of her husband. 'He is kind, he is always generous, he cares about his family and he is very strong,' she said. The message was clear: unlike frontrunner Boris Johnson's car-crash domestic life, Jeremy Hunt would use the stability of a settled home to boost his campaign. Chinese-born Mrs Hunt revealed the story behind her pet name for him - 'Big Rice.' When Hunt travelled to his wife's home city of Xian to ask her father for [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-trung-quoc-ha-khau-con-minh-le-giang-shangrila-shangri-la-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] his daughter's hand in marriage, her grandmother found it hard to say 'Jeremy'. Mrs Hunt explained: 'She would just call him the 'Big mi'. Mi means 'rice' so I call him 'Big rice'.'

'Precious.' What has emerged is how pivotal an influence Mrs Hunt is on her husband. Before the first round of voting began last week, the Foreign Secretary tweeted that 'it felt a bit like the morning of my wedding' because he didn't 'quite know how it will unfold'. Their wedding certainly was unusual - and exotic. It was held in the ancient city of Lijiang and followed pre-Communist traditions. His wife was held aloft in a sedan chair by members of Hunt's family while he marched alongside her. 'We went back to what a wedding would have been like pre-1949,' Hunt said, recalling how he had to undergo a series of tests before his family could carry away his bride. These included singing, performing 25 press-ups and finding his bride's shoes. 'I had to do three kowtows to the sun,' he added. Unlike frontrunner Boris Johnson's (pictured) car-crash domestic life, Jeremy Hunt would use the stability of a settled home to boost his campaign, writes Richard Kay Lucia's impact has been visible in other ways. She ensured that a doll knitted for their four-year-old daughter by Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, the British mother jailed in Iran, has been given pride of place on a mantelpiece among family knick-knacks in their grace-and-favour Foreign Office apartment. Despite his down-to-earth manner, Hunt's upbringing was one of privilege and convention. The son of a senior naval officer, Admiral Sir Nicholas Hunt, the young Jeremy was educated at £39,000-a-year Charterhouse School, where he was head boy. At Oxford, where he took a first in PPE, he was a contemporary of David Cameron. As his Cabinet rival Michael Gove was embroiled in cocaine-taking allegations, Hunt demurely acknowledged that he too had experience of drugs. His was a cannabis-infused smoothie while backpacking in India. After a post-Oxford spell teaching in Japan he made an unsuccessful attempt to sell marmalade there before setting up Hotcourses, an on-line educational publishing business which turned him into a multi-millionaire. He sold the company for £15million in 2017. It was through Hotcourses that he met Lucia, who was a student recruiter at Warwick University. They were married within a year by which time Hunt had already embarked on his political career. It was not all plain sailing. He survived a major storm when Culture Secretary over his links to Rupert Murdoch who was bidding for full control of BskyB. It emerged that Hunt, who had oversight of the bid, employed a special adviser who was in close contact with the media tycoon's team. But after nine years in the Cabinet, Hunt has rarely tripped up - though there was one infamous clanger when, during a trip to China in 2018, he described his wife as Japanese. It turned out that was the nationality of one of his previous girlfriends. Jeremy Hunt still has a mountain to climb, of course, but by securing enough votes to get on to the slate with Boris Johnson he has proved that in a brutal, polarised political world, decency and niceness - and perhaps that secret weapon - might still have a place.

Dragons Reverse-sweep Excelsior In OWL Showdown

2021-01-07T21:45:16Z

HopeDeBoos48:

The Shanghai Dragons rallied for a reverse-sweep of the New York Excelsior in a showdown between top teams on Saturday, as Week 13 of the Overwatch League kicked off. The Dragons (9-1) moved into first place in the overall standings with the statement 3-2 win over the third-ranked Excelsior (7-2). The Excelsior struck first with a 2-0 win on Lijiang Tower and a 4-3 win on Eichenwalde. New York had prepared for the introduction of Overwatch's newest hero, Echo, by picking DPS heroes like Torbjorn and Sombra to shut her down while playing a more brawly-style team composition, whereas the Dragons went for an aggressive dive-focused composition. After the break, though, the Dragons made adjustments that paid off in a big way. Main tank Eui-Seok "Fearless" Lee dove into the enemy supports with reckless abandon, and the rest of Shanghai followed up, stunning New York with their pressure. The Dragons took [http://www.ehow.com/search.html?s=Volskaya%20Industries Volskaya Industries] 3-2 and Rialto 2-1 to send the series into overtime, where they completed the reverse-sweep with a 2-0 win on Busan. With the win, the Dragons took the top spot in the standings from the Philadelphia Fusion (9-1) based on map differential, while the Excelsior remained in third place despite the loss. Speaking of reverse-sweeps, the Los Angeles Valiant (3-6) picked up an upset win against the Atlanta Reign (4-4) in similarly dramatic fashion. Atlanta took Lijiang Tower 2-1 and Hollywood 4-3 to start the series, but the Valiant's adjustments helped them take the series. The Valiant fielded DPS Damon "Apply" Conti, who made his debut on Echo to great effect, often winning duels against the Reign's DPS players. Los Angeles took Hanamura 3-2, Dorado 3-2 and then capped off the reverse-sweep with a 2-0 win on Busan. In other Saturday action, the San Francisco Shock (6-2) took down the Houston Outlaws (4-8) in a 3-0 sweep to remain fourth in the overall standings. The Shock looked as lethal as ever despite the recent sudden retirement of DPS and reigning league MVP Jay "sinatraa" Won. San Francisco took Oasis 2-0, full-held Numbani 3-0 and tied Paris 3-3 before finishing a 3-1 win on Rialto. The Guangzhou Charge (5-6) picked up a big win against the Seoul Dynasty (3-2), who looked lost with the debut of Echo. The Charge took Ilios 2-0, full-held Hollywood 1-0, and full-held Hanamura 1-0 for a dominant victory. Finally, the Dallas Fuel (4-4) took out the Washington Justice (2-9) in a 3-0 sweep. Dallas took Nepal 2-0, Hollywood 3-1 and finished with a 2-1 win on Paris.

Why Do London Spitfire Keep Losing On Oasis In The Overwatch League

[ Watch Game 3 VAL @ LDN | Stage 1 Week 2 from OverwatchLeague on website Wasted ultsFury played D.Va a lot against teams on Oasis, but was rarely able to make an impact with his Self-Destruct. Some of this was down to bad luck, as we'll touch on later on, but a lot of it was down to poor positioning. He'll need to get some tips from Fusion's Poko. There was a Winston Primal Rage from Gesture against Fuel on City Center which did nothing, and although Profit did pull off an amazing Junkrat ult against Valiant, there was a bizarre moment against Fuel where he exploded it with no enemies in sight.

He managed to get direct hits on Rascal's Pharah on multiple occasions, forcing Nus to focus his Mercy healing on his primary DPS. While Nus was tied to his Pharah, Valiant's Unkoe on Mercy was free to heal the rest of his team.

Adapting to that could've made the difference. The London Spitfire have an incredibly talented roster, and will continue to win games anyway In fairness, in their match against Fuel on Gardens, Spitfire did do a lot of swapping, but only because they started with a fairly odd combination of heroes. They went with a Reinhardt going in, and against an opposing Junkrat, his shield was gone in seconds and he was the first to die. Spitfire were also without a Mercy for over half of the map, and while Fuel were getting off key resurrections, the healing from Ana and Lucio wasn't enough. Spitfire did eventually swap the Lucio for a Mercy, but it was too late. At one point, Spitfire had three ultimates to Fuel's zero, but when Profit got caught out and went down just before a big fight, Valkyrie wasn't ready yet to bring him back easily. Big plays from opposing teams During the game and in the post-game analysis we saw a lot of praise given to Agilities again for his big play on Roadhog towards the end of the University round. Fury and Rascal had Self-Destruct and Graviton Surge available respectively, and those two combined should've been enough to allow Spitfire to hold out for the win. However, a great hook from Agilities sent Rascal's Zarya down the hole in the center of the point. It takes a long time for a low mobility hero to get out of there, and Valiant managed to mop up Spitfire in that time. Going deeper into the season, it will be dangerous for them to have a bad map in Oasis It's also worth mentioning that a bit of luck that went Valiant's way though.

Don 39;t Miss The Highlights During Your Journey In China

2021-01-07T20:49:07Z

HopeDeBoos48:

As many travel magazine suggested, the best time to visit China is either spring (March to May) or fall (September to early November). However, according to my living experience in China for two years, the early spring is not the proper time to visit China because of sandstorm or smog covering the most big cities of China. So I suggest the late spring and autumn. Thus you will have a wonderful journey to China in the right time. Now, it is cold winter and the most travel cities are covered with smog. But you can also make a plan for your next year traveling to China during later spring, summer or earlier autumn in 2014. When you visit China, especially for the first time, you should not miss the following highlights. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push(); The tour destinations suitable for spring traveling to China includes Wuyuan Ancient Town, Hangzhou, Fenghuang Ancient Town, Lijiang, Wuzhen, Zhouzhuang, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-trung-quoc-ha-khau-con-minh-le-giang-shangrila-shangri-la-6-ngay.html tour lệ giang shangrila] Guilin.

Kanas Lake is very attractive and well known not only for its fantastic view but also for the legendary lake monsters. It is reported that many tourists once witnessed and took photos of lake monsters. Jiuzhaigou is in its most beautiful scene during fall. You can visit Pingyao in September because of Pingyao International Photography Festival held in September. Located int he southwest border of Sichuan, Daocheng is full of primitive Tibetan villages, Buddhism monasteries and pastoral scenery. Shangri-la, a remote town in Yunnan, has not shown up on many visitors' radars in the same way, where you can experience the Tibetan atmosphere and splendid natural beauty. If you plan visit China during spring or autumn, you can choose any one of them in you itinerary. While, Beijing, Xian and Shanghai are the must-sees.

Shock Make History With Sweep At OWL

The San Francisco Shock became the first team in Overwatch League history to sweep all 19 other teams on Saturday with a 3-0 dismantling of the Paris Eternal, as Week 20 kicked off. The Shock (12-2) remained third in the standings and became the first team in the league to sweep every other team, dominating the Eternal (8-6) in a match of double-shield compositions. San Francisco DPS Nam-joo "Striker" Kwon led the charge primarily on Tracer, dominating Paris' rookie DPS duo of Yeong-han "SP9RK1E" Kim and Ki-hyo "Xzi" Jung. This was the Eternal's first time running the hyped DPS lineup, and it showed in their hampered coordination compared to their form in weeks past. The Shock took Busan 2-0, Watchpoint: Gibraltar 3-0 and Blizzard World 3-2. In other American Region matches, the Houston Outlaws (6-10) scored a 3-1 upset of the Los Angeles Gladiators (5-6), the Atlanta Reign (6-6) swept the Toronto Defiant (5-9) and the [http://imgur.com/hot?q=Vancouver Vancouver] Titans (3-7) picked up their first win with their new roster in a 3-0 sweep over the Dallas Fuel (4-8). The Outlaws had players outperforming their counterparts across nearly every role, taking the fight to the Gladiators' backline and preventing L.A.'s supports from getting comfortable. Former Gladiator DPS and current Outlaw flex player Joao Pedro "Hydration" Goes Telles shined in the main tank position, matching the traditional main tank duo of Min-seok "OGE" Son and Roni "LhCloudy" Tiihonen of Los Angeles. The Outlaws took Busan 2-0 and Rialto 4-3 to go into halftime. The Gladiators won King's Row 4-3 on the back of a flanking Reinhardt strategy from LhCloudy, but the Outlaws secured the series with a 2-1 win on Hanamura. Atlanta dispatched Toronto with a 2-0 win on Lijiang Tower, a 3-0 win on Rialto and a 3-2 win on Hollywood. The Titans, led by DPS Niclas "sHockWave" Jensen, took Busan 2-1, Junkertown 2-0 and Hollywood 6-5 from Dallas. In the Asian Region, the [https://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Hangzhou%20Spark Hangzhou Spark] (7-7) picked up a 3-2 upset win over the fourth-ranked New York Excelsior (11-4). Hangzhou's most recent acquisitions, DPS Minho "Architect" Park formerly of the San Francisco Shock and rookie tank Sung-jun "QoQ" Yu, led the Spark in the win. QoQ was signed on Friday due to Spark tank Seong-wook "Ria" Park's wrist injury. New York started with a 2-0 win on Busan, then Hangzhou full-held Watchpoint: Gibraltar for the 1-0 map win and a 1-1 tied series going into the half. The Excelsior then took King's Row 3-2, before the teams drew Temple of Anubis 3-3. But the Spark surged to a 2-0 win on Ilios and a 2-1 win on Oasis to secure the series. In other Asian Region matches, the Guangzhou Charge (10-6) outlasted the mercurial Seoul Dynasty (6-6) by a 3-2 margin, and the London Spitfire (5-6) swept the Chengdu Hunters (4-11) The Charge were led by DPS Jung-woo "Happy" Lee, who shined in double-hitscan compositions. Guangzhou took Lijiang Tower 2-1 and Rialto 2-1, threatening to sweep. The Dynasty responded with a 4-3 win on Blizzard World and a 3-2 win on Volskaya Industries to force the series decider, which the Charge took 2-1 on Busan. The Spitfire were firing on all cylinders against the Hunters, who were visibly affected by Sombra not being in the hero pool, preventing the team from running its signature strategies. London took Nepal 2-1, Junkertown 5-3 and Blizzard World 3-1. Week 20 of the Overwatch League concludes on Sunday with six matches: Guangzhou Charge vs Hangzhou Spark Chengdu Hunters vs. Shanghai Dragons New York Excelsior vs London Spitfire Boston Uprising vs Philadelphia Fusion Los Angeles Valiant vs Florida Mayhem Washington Justice vs San Francisco Shock Overwatch League Season 3 standings, with match record (W-L), map record (W-L-T) and map differential: 1.

RICHARD KAY On How Hunt Proved There apos;s Still Place For The apos;nice Guy apos;

How ironic, you may think, that talk of Jeremy Hunt in recent times has so often been prefaced by observations on his genial disposition. 'Nice bloke… decent chap… affable', are the usual epithets bandied around by fellow MPs whenever his name comes up. The fact is that the longest-ever serving Health Secretary, and a politician whose tenure as Foreign Secretary has been as gaffe-free as his predecessor [/news/boris_johnson/index.html Boris Johnson]'s was gaffe-laden, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-trung-quoc-ha-khau-con-minh-le-giang-shangrila-shangri-la-6-ngay.html tour lệ giang shangrila] is a surprisingly unshowy figure. On the surface he would appear to offer his enemies no point of attack. But this armour of smiling friendliness is both an asset and - potentially - a liability. 'Nice bloke… decent chap… affable', are the usual epithets bandied around by fellow MPs whenever Jeremy Hunt's name comes up, writes Richard Kay In the weeks since the Tory leadership campaign began, it has not been his flip-flopping on a no-deal Brexit that has been damaging to his ambitions, as much as the perception that he is nothing more than Mrs May Mark II, or 'Theresa in Trousers' - piquantly abbreviated to 'Tit'. In another age, Hunt's easy-going charm and good looks - it is not that long ago he was voted 'most-fanciable man' in Westminster - would have been a shoo-in as Conservative leader and PM. But amid the turmoil of Brexit, his managerial approach to politics, and what has been described as an 'impenetrable blandness', even his friends have been left wondering if he possesses the ruthlessness to not only make it to No10 but to succeed once there. People see him as 'too nice': perfectly well-equipped at running a department - civil servants have described him as a joy to work for - but they question whether competence alone is enough in these turbulent times. In a since-deleted tweet, former Tory peer Lord (Andrew) Cooper said Hunt's conversion from Remainer to Brexiteer made him an 'unprincipled windsock'. But his supporters - and he has secured impressive backing from a string of [http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?term=&Cabinet%20colleagues&loc=en_us&siteSection=home Cabinet colleagues] - say this pragmatism is actually a strength. And that there is a steely, unflappable determination. Aware his good-natured reputation could be seen as a weakness - and keen to show that he was not the continuity candidate - his leadership campaign presented him as a tough negotiator with a bold vision. Hunt's supporters (pictured) - and he has secured impressive backing from a string of Cabinet colleagues - say this pragmatism is actually a strength. And that there is a steely, unflappable determination, writes Richard Kay He has responded to critics by pointing to his successes in government, from oversight of the London Olympics as Culture Secretary, imposing a contract on warring junior doctors while Health Secretary, to setting up Yemen peace talks as Foreign Secretary. Friends also highlighted his stand-off with Mrs May during the 2018 winter crisis in the NHS when he refused to be moved from his job, as an example of his toughness. But as the contest narrowed in recent days, Hunt unveiled his 'secret weapon' - his wife Lucia, 11 years his junior, who he met in 2008 when he was in his early forties. In an interview with the Mail on Sunday at the weekend, the mother of three spoke powerfully of her husband. 'He is kind, he is always generous, he cares about his family and he is very strong,' she said. The [https://www.biggerpockets.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=message message] was clear: unlike frontrunner Boris Johnson's car-crash domestic life, Jeremy Hunt would use the stability of a settled home to boost his campaign. Chinese-born Mrs Hunt revealed the story behind her pet name for him - 'Big Rice.' When Hunt travelled to his wife's home city of Xian to ask her father for his daughter's hand in marriage, her grandmother found it hard to say 'Jeremy'. Mrs Hunt explained: 'She would just call him the 'Big mi'. Mi means 'rice' so I call him 'Big rice'.'

'Precious.' What has emerged is how pivotal an influence Mrs Hunt is on her husband. Before the first round of voting began last week, the Foreign Secretary tweeted that 'it felt a bit like the morning of my wedding' because he didn't 'quite know how it will unfold'. Their wedding certainly was unusual - and exotic. It was held in the ancient city of Lijiang and followed pre-Communist traditions. His wife was held aloft in a sedan chair by members of Hunt's family while he marched alongside her. 'We went back to what a wedding would have been like pre-1949,' Hunt said, recalling how he had to undergo a series of tests before his family could carry away his bride. These included singing, performing 25 press-ups and finding his bride's shoes. 'I had to do three kowtows to the sun,' he added. Unlike frontrunner Boris Johnson's (pictured) car-crash domestic life, Jeremy Hunt would use the stability of a settled home to boost his campaign, writes Richard Kay Lucia's impact has been visible in other ways. She ensured that a doll knitted for their four-year-old daughter by Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, the British mother jailed in Iran, has been given pride of place on a mantelpiece among family knick-knacks in their grace-and-favour Foreign Office apartment. Despite his down-to-earth manner, Hunt's upbringing was one of privilege and convention. The son of a senior naval officer, Admiral Sir Nicholas Hunt, the young Jeremy was educated at £39,000-a-year Charterhouse School, where he was head boy. At Oxford, where he took a first in PPE, he was a contemporary of David Cameron. As his Cabinet rival Michael Gove was embroiled in cocaine-taking allegations, Hunt demurely acknowledged that he too had experience of drugs. His was a cannabis-infused smoothie while backpacking in India. After a post-Oxford spell teaching in Japan he made an unsuccessful attempt to sell marmalade there before setting up Hotcourses, an on-line educational publishing business which turned him into a multi-millionaire. He sold the company for £15million in 2017. It was through Hotcourses that he met Lucia, who was a student recruiter at Warwick University. They were married within a year by which time Hunt had already embarked on his political career. It was not all plain sailing. He survived a major storm when Culture Secretary over his links to Rupert Murdoch who was bidding for full control of BskyB. It emerged that Hunt, who had oversight of the bid, employed a special adviser who was in close contact with the media tycoon's team. But after nine years in the Cabinet, Hunt has rarely tripped up - though there was one infamous clanger when, during a trip to China in 2018, he described his wife as Japanese. It turned out that was the nationality of one of his previous girlfriends. Jeremy Hunt still has a mountain to climb, of course, but by securing enough votes to get on to the slate with Boris Johnson he has proved that in a brutal, polarised political world, decency and niceness - and perhaps that secret weapon - might still have a place.

The second-seeded Shanghai Dragons survived an upset scare by the London Spitfire on Saturday in the quarterfinals of the May Melee Asian region. Shanghai looked shaky early, with London taking Lijiang Tower 2-0 to start the series. The Dragons won Hollywood 3-2, but the Spitfire took Volskaya Industries 3-2 to go up 2-1 in the series. Most of Shanghai's early pains seemed to be self-inflicted. The Dragons chose compositions that weren't their bread-and-butter Sombra-Dive, like running a Torbjorn and Ashe on Hollywood and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-trung-quoc-ha-khau-con-minh-le-giang-shangrila-shangri-la-6-ngay.html tour lệ giang giá rẻ] preventing themselves from taking high ground control. With their backs against the wall, though, the Dragons took flight. Led by DPS Byung-sun "Fleta" Kim, who played exceptionally well as Echo, Shanghai roared back, taking Watchpoint: Gibraltar 2-0 and capping off the 3-2 series win with a 2-0 decision on Oasis. Shanghai will face third-seeded New York Excelsior in the semifinals. New York had struggles of its own Saturday against the fifth-seeded Chengdu Hunters but emerged with a hard-fought 3-2 series win.

The Excelsior played exceptionally well on Ilios, winning the map 2-0 with a dive composition focused on DPS Jong-ryeol "Saebyeolbe" Park's signature Tracer. In Saturday's other quarterfinal matchup, the seventh-seeded Seoul Dynasty upset the fourth-seeded Hangzhou Spark with a 3-0 sweep. Seoul looked abysmal in the weeks leading up to this event on Sombra-Dive compositions, but looked to have solved a lot of those issues in this series. Starting with a 2-0 win on Oasis, the Dynasty looked more dynamic and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-trung-quoc-ha-khau-con-minh-le-giang-shangrila-shangri-la-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] comfortable on compositions that weren't their bread-and-butter Double Shield composition with Orisa and Sigma. Seoul's tank line in particular shined, with Jae-hee "Gesture" Hong excelling as Winston and Min-seo "Marve1" Hwang performing well on D.Va. With the tanks leading the way, Seoul took Hollywood 3-2 before wrapping up the series with a 1-0 full-hold on Temple of Anubis.
