The maple leaves are now the best performing team in the league.

Following their sweep against France in opening week, Canada recorded a second one against Belgium on Wednesday. With some of its players travelling for LAN events, Canada played with a reduced line-up but that only meant that Blizzcon finalists Julien “Cydonia” Perrault and Ryan “Purple” Root got all the glory.

Canada played a very standard line-up for the modern Un’Goro meta of Paladin, Hunter and Warrior and only came close to losing in game two on their Midrange Hunter against Belgium’s Quest Warrior when a timely top deck of [card]kill command[/card] from a [card]starving buzzard[/card] delivered the last points of lethal.

With 2-0 in series and 6-0 in games, Canada is now in with more than a good chance of qualifying for the round of 24 and the only scenario where they could be eliminated is three losses in a row against Malaysia, Denmark and Kazakhstan, the latter of which are yet to record a victory in the Global Games.

Over in the Group B of death, the United Kingdom recovered after their loss against the United States in week one at the expense of Radu “Rdu” Dima’s Romania. Though having three LAN champions on their roster, Romania’s future in HGG is uncertain now that they have recorded their second loss and their only shot at making the next round is being flawless from now on, including against group leaders United States (2-0, 6-1). A must-watch game from the GBR/ROU series is George “GeorgeC” Connolly’s master class on Freeze Mage against Stefan “Moody” Marinescu’s Jade Druid in game two.

In the third playday of this week starting later today, China will try to get its first win against Brazil after the loss to Sweden, while Taiwan will aim to catch-up with Turkey at the top of Group G.
