On the first day of IEM Gyeonggis $100,000 Overwatch Invitational, four out of the six teams from Europe and South Korea competed to determine who would advance to face Afreeca Freecs Blue and Rogue in the semifinals.The Friday series both turned out to be 3-0 sweeps, but they did not lack action.Overwatch quarterfinal No. 1: Misfits vs. Lunatic-HaiWith Europes Misfits and South Koreas Lunatic-Hai squads having changed their all-star lineups before the event, it was difficult to predict which team would have the edge. In Map 1 on Hollywood, both teams pushed each other to their limits, securing regulation full captures with zero seconds left, followed by full holds during overtime. Lunatic-Hai was able to win the tiebreaker on Nepal thanks to an impressive performance by Ryu Ryujehong Je Hongs Roadhog, taking a 1-0 lead.Game 2 was more of the same on Volskaya Industries, with both teams surrendering Point A before turtling up and holding Point B. In another Nepal tiebreaker, Kim EscA In Jae cut a swath of destruction through Misfits with Reaper, increasing Lunatic-Hais lead to 2-0.Game 3 on Lijiang Tower began with a bang for Lunatic-Hai. Lee Leetaejun Tae Jun had a strong performance on Reaper, and EscA played a somewhat unconventional Mei to great success on Night Market. While Misfits would take the point after initially giving it up and allowing Lunatic-Hai to hit 99 percent, Lunatic-Hai quickly won the ensuing teamfight to pick up a convincing win.With both teams mirroring each other with quad-tank double-support team comps on Command Center, Lunatic-Hais superior execution gave them the hard-fought 100-99 win and the series sweep.Although Misfits were able to force overtime in all of their maps, Jonathan Reinforce Larssons frequent deaths, plus Kevyn TviQ Lindstr?ms inability to shut down EscA in the DPS battle, ensured that Misfits would be leaving the tournament early and empty-handed. Lunatic-Hai advances to play APEX Season 1 runner-up Afreeca Freecs Blue on Saturday.Overwatch quarterfinal No. 2: LuxuryWatch Red vs. KongDoo PantheraWhile both of these South Korean squads were hungry for their first LAN win, LuxuryWatch Red managed to outplay KongDoo Panthera throughout the series.In Game 1, LuxuryWatch pushed the cart all the way to the end of Eichenwalde, thanks to heroics from Park Saebyeolbe Jong Yeol. While KongDoo managed to take the first point, Hwang Nanohana Yeon Ohs Mei wasted a lot of time, to the point where KongDoo were unable to get the cart to the first checkpoint, securing LuxuryWatchs first win.Game 2 on Hanamura was a slaughter for LuxuryWatch, as they managed to easily hold Point A thanks to incredible work from Nanohanas Mei. When it came time for LuxuryWatch to attack, their aggressive dive comp and Nanohanas Genji sliced through KongDoo to take the point and the game on their initial push.Game 3 was close and hard-fought until the end, with teams trading decisive wins on Ilios. While Kim Rascal Dong Jun did a decent job of pressuring LuxuryWatchs backline as Tracer, Saebyeolbes Tracer was able to convert kills with ease, dominating the game as LuxuryWatch took a 100-0 first round. In response, KongDoo made composition changes, putting EVERMORE on Zarya and using Rascals Tracer to dominate Ruins, giving KongDoo the edge to take the second round 100-99.In the final round on Lighthouse, KongDoo got off to a hot start thanks to EVERMOREs Roadhog and An wakawaka Jee Hos D.Va. Just when KongDoo had reached 94 percent, however, LuxuryWatch took over the point thanks to ultimates from Nanohanas Mei and Saebyeolbes Tracer. After that, KongDoo was in disarray, trickling onto the point and staggering themselves until LuxuryWatch was able to secure the 100-94 round win to move on in the playoffs.LuxuryWatch will face off against European powerhouse Rogue on Saturday.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Perhaps this was the type of win the talented and young Minnesota Timberwolves needed to get on a roll.Andrew Wiggins scored 29 points, Karl-Anthony Towns added 27 points and 15 rebounds, and the Timberwolves showed late-game poise by erasing a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Southeast Division-leading Charlotte Hornets 125-120 in overtime on Saturday night.The more close games youre in and the more you win, the better you get, Minnesota coach Tom Thibodeau said. Repetition builds habits. When you see things happen in a game, it slows everything down.Zack LaVine added 17 points and Ricky Rubio had nine points and 12 assists for the Timberwolves, who snapped a four-game losing streak and avoided being swept by the Hornets for the third straight season.We came back and really made some really winning plays down the stretch, LaVine said. Thats what happens when you keep fighting. Weve been fighting the last four or five games and been in those positions but we got over that hump. It feels good. Now we need to keep it going.Towns, a dominant force on the glass all night, had six points in overtime, including a backbreaking follow off a missed shot with 21 seconds left to put the Timberwolves up by six. Towns sealed the victory with two free throws with 3.9 seconds remaining.Charlotte appeared on its way to its fourth win in five games, leading 104-97 with less than one minute to play.But Minnesota battled back to tie the game in regulation with LaVine, Rubio and Wiggins all hitting 3-pointers in the final 39 seconds. Wiggins pull-up from 31 feet in transition with 8.9 seconds tied the game at 106.The Hornets had a chance to win the game at the end of regulation, but Kemba Walker missed everything on a step-back 18-footer at the buzzer.There were a lot of mistakes on the defensive end and we gave up some big baskets, Walker said. We missed some rotations and we have tto be better down the stretch.ddddddddddddWalker led Charlotte with 22 points and eight assists. Frank Kaminsky had 21 points and Nic Batum had 15 points and 12 assists.TIP-INS:Timberwolves: Wiggins and Towns were a combined 22 of 42 from the field. ... Blocked 10 shots.Hornets: The Hornets have given up an average of 16.5 points per game in the first quarter in the last two games, compared to a season average of 27.1 points. ... Cody Zeller had four blocks.STRONG OT STARTThe Timberwolves took advantage of the momentum they had built at the end of regulation, opening overtime with a 7-0 run.You know, it always looks better when the ball is going in, Thibodeau said. When were getting the right shots and sharing the ball, everything looks a lot better. Obviously, playing from a lead is important and we havent been doing that.NOT PHYSICAL ENOUGHHornets coach Steve Clifford said he was especially disappointed with this loss because the team had emphasized getting its defense set and physicality in terms of blocking out.They crushed us with the block outs in the fourth quarter, Clifford said. They had at least four that might have led to nine points. That cant happen. Its been discussed and weve watched it and the reality is we either going to become a more physical group or were not going to win -- at least not every night.TOWNS PASSES GARNETTTowns established a new Timberwolves record with his 27th straight game with at least one blocked shot. He had two blocks against the Hornets.UP NEXT:Timberwolves: Minnesota returns home Tuesday to face the NBAs best road team in San Antonio. The Spurs are 11-0 on the road, while the Timberwolves are 3-6 at home.Hornets: Charlotte heads out on the road Monday night to face the Dallas Mavericks, who they just beat on Thursday night. ' ' '
