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.

The return contest is set for Oct. 26, 2019, in Ann Arbor, Michigan.New Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said in March that he would be open to discussing future matchups with the Irish in football after the two programs ended their annual series in 2014 with an unfriendly parting of ways.This is a game that holds great significance for the student-athletes and coaches who compete on the field, Manuel said in a statement. A great deal of credit goes to Coach Harbaugh and Coach Kelly for initiating the discussion of scheduling this series. This rivalry is also important for the fans of both programs, and we look forward to renewing one of college footballs great rivalries.Manuel said there have been ongoing discussions to extend the series beyond 2019. Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick indicated that the teams may not play every year.While the schedule commitments of both Notre Dame and Michigan make an annual series impractical, were optimistic that additional games can be scheduled in the future, Swarbrick said.To make room for Notre Dame, Michigan has canceled its series with Arkansas and moved a 2019 Big Ten game against Rutgers to a new date.dddddddddddd.

But Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said in September that he thought the possibility of the series returning was trending up.The Wolverines lead the all-time series 24-17-1.Information from ESPN staff writer Dan Murphy and The Associated Press was used in this report.?
