I know that previous regional finals have almost always been purely for seeding, leading to the teams saving strats or not trying as much. Is today's final different due to the 3 championship points on the line and will the teams take it seriously?

There is no major rivalry between G2 and SEN. It's just the social media managers going for each other's necks.

It's definitely gonna be a large wall to climb over for TSM. But, I think that this qualifier has proved that they have now at least reached the same playing field as these T1 teams. They have shown massive improvement from the previous qualifiers this year, and win or lose this main event, I hope they strive to continue improving.
