What to Watch Next

Match 8 is the next game on Erangel. The leaders have little room for error, and K9 will want to show that Match 7 was the start of a run rather than a one-off. Teams like 8BIT, RIC, and BLEC are close enough on points that a single strong match could move each of them several places.
