South Korea absolutely mowed through the 'Overwatch' World Cup

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- South Korea utterly destroyed the competition in the first Overwatch World Cup this weekend at BlizzCon, ending with a Saturday finals victory over Russia that was nothing short of hard to watch.

Like Ali vs Liston (II), . South Korea crushed Russia, shutting them down each match. In fact, the whole tournament not one team managed to get a point over South Korea.

The first ever Overwatch World Cup commenced Friday in Anaheim, where a total of 16 countries came together in Olympic-style teams to battle it out for medals, not prize-pools.

Teams competed for honor and country (and a modest bonus for competing), and the South Korean team showed yet again how formidable their players can be.

Asked if they felt like they have been challenged yet, South Korean player Tae Yeong "Migtairong" Kim stated that first-round opponent team U.S.A. "used a lot of strategy and probably challenged us the most."

Kim also said that team Sweden had its moments -- notably team captain André "iddqd" Dahlström, the McCree main.

Quarterfinal and semifinal matches were best of three, though the final was best of seven.

In the semis Finland was pitted against Sweden. Finland took a point but in the end Sweden came out on top, securely taking second place in the Cup with Finland in third.
