With a cluch 4-3 victory in today's GSTL, Azubu edge out StarTale at the fourth place, leading with a single point to Bomber's team.
After StarTale suffered a crushing all-kill at the hands of A-A's Ryung, any of the teams today received the chance to overtake the powerful roster in black and orange and seven games later, it was Azubu who managed to do just that.
With Violet being sent to HomeStory Cup VII, Azubu had to fight sans their captain but to their luck, their team work clicked and got them out of a two game losing streak.
Azubu dealt a big hit to FXOpen right from the start by eliminating star Zerg player Leenock in the first game, but ended up taking a double beating from his successor Lucky. The teams scored one a piece in the next two games and FXO maintained a one-game lead, getting a single win away from victory.
This is where Symbol stepped in for AZUBU. The Zerg ace slapped down Hurricane for the tie and ended the life of recently returned to StarCraft sC to clinch a 4-3, putting Azubu right below the top three with 3-3 in series and +2 points.
One more round of games (or two weeks in calendar time) remains until the group stage of GSL is over. Currently, MVP, Axiom-Acer and Incredible Miracle are the three teams sure to make playoffs and are to be joined by two more. As Prime and HoSeo are already mathematically eliminated, it'll be up to Azubu, FXO and StarTale to decide who will take the #4 and #5 spots.
