MATADOR CUP 5 | Japanese 5on5 Tournament Streamed From A-cho
UPDATE: Tournament is now over and results have been added.
MATADOR CUP 5 tournament is streamed live from the renowned A-cho arcade in Kyoto, Japan and features a great amount of teams entered which sums up to 420 players competiting. South Korea sent two teams over which features great players like Jundding, HelpMe, Nin, Saint and more to the tournament to once again take a shot at toppling the Japanese community at their hometurf. Fortunately for most of us, the tournament is held in the A-cho arcade so that means A-cho will provide a stream of the tournament onto their Ustream channel as opposed to niconico. Be sure to tune in if you have the time as this will be entertaining to watch!
