But it was well worth the wait. The grand final was scheduled to begin at 6pm local time but was delayed for over two and a half hours. The delay was largely due to the semifinals of the event’s Counter Strike: Global Offensive tournament running much longer than expected.XiaoHai entered the grand final from the winners’ side of the bracket, but Momochi made quick work of that advantage with a dominant 3-0 win in the first set. Momochi won the first game of the second and decisive set, but XiaoHai was able to stop the bleeding and battle back to win the final set 3-2.In China, Xiao Hai doesn’t have many opportunities to play Street Fighter.
