Season 65 Feature Matches

Videos and recaps for the six matches featured in Season 65, plus the Champion Match

As such, nasmith could only afford to tie one of the six games, while Mic just needed to win one (or tie two). That said, neither of them let these circumstances drastically affect their mindsets, mostly taking each...
