The Americas Conference Finals are underway with Mike McDonald returning to the cube to face Chance Kornuth in game #1. Kornuth won both of his games against the Sao Paolo Mets, so he is looking to continue his win streak. McDonald is now playing fifth match after playing four of his team's seven matches earlier when the Nationals defeated the San Francisco Rush.
Here is what the team managers had to say before the match started.
Earlier today, the Montreal Nationals defeated the San Francisco Rush to claim their spot in the Americas Conference final after a seven game series. Then the Los Angeles Sunset defeated the Sao Paolo Metropolitans in seven games to earn the second spot in the Conference final.
Now the top two seeds from the Americas division will face each other in a best-of-seven series for a spot in the GPL Grand Final. The winner will face the winner of the Eurasia Conference final, to be determined tomorrow.
