Thoughts: Another epic match between Kanil and myself. I went for a put-the-game-away risk on Turn 11, and it ended up costing me. The overtime grind was tense and fun, but the early injuries took their toll on my ability to fill gaps in the line, and Kanil's deep goblin bench ensured he could keep exploiting those holes.
