SearchMondragon vs Draco in the ESL!
Posted by Mattias "Lord_of_Chaos" Ylander 1 year ago
Group stages in the ESL Major Series are over and we now enter the phase or relegation matches. Tonight, an epic fight will decide the fate of Mondragon and Draco - only one of them can advance!
Already ready for advancement to the playoffs are no other than
Idra, 
IefNaij, Dreiven and 
Dinot. They were all number one in their respective groups, forcing Strelok, White-Ra, Yayba and HoRRoR to leave the tournament.The players ending up in the middle of each group have to play relegation matches and this promises to give us quite a few very exciting games.

That means that we will have one of the most epic rivalries played out again. Draco has become active again and is once again going up against the foreign champion of ZvP. In Mondragon's own words:
This game is probably one of the most epic matches you could imagine and it will be such a close series as usual. Though I see the advantage on Draco's side, although he appears to be not that active. But with this experience and skill he is always the favorite to win. Good Luck
Unfortunatly for ParanOid and Arew, their match will probably stand in the shadow of the giant match above, but their game should also provide an entertaining ZvP. ParanOid is a Zerg with a very personal macro oriented style.
Both ParanOid vs Arew and Mondragon vs Draco are played at 21.00 CET tonight.
Ret should have no real problem cleaning up Kr from the map, given his current form. While he, in a weak moment, stated over at TL.net that he might be cutting down on his BW activity soon, he is nonetheless a monster right now.
Last match is the Russian powerhouse BRAT_OK, the heir of the once mighty Iron Trio of Russia, against the Polish Sawyer. Sawyer is, in comparison to the rest of the names in this tournament, relatively unknown, and unknown players can always surprise. Still, this match is BRAT's and anything else would be a huge upset.

| hahahah white-ra and strelok out XD gogogo mondi and GOsia! |
| this will be epic =D |
Epic  |
| hahaha! reminds me of the olden days where tournys were always a mondragon draco final :) heard mondragon is inactive for some time, and dont know about dracos performance recently, im sure he is more active than mondragon, but who knows, i think it could be close result going either way :) edit: ret vs kr ret is the know better player, but i wouldnt be suprised if kr took a game, or even won, but i expect ret to win. brat_ok vs sawyer i dono what he means russian iron trio( i would of said that is androide, ex & advokate?) but its not really fair to call sawyer unknown, as he's really good player, and TvT, anything really can happen. brat_ok is known to be more skilled, but as this is TvT, then who knows! |
I will watch this epic games  |
| so modest I love that guy ,gl both |
| #9 +1 |
| draco <3 gogo zergs are to be killed. |
| #7, I said relatively unknown, ie in comparison with the other guys here: mondi, draco, brat etc. And it's not like TvT is more luck based than any other MU |
| gogo MONDO DRAGON !!!! :DDD |
| Will there be STREAM ? |
| WTF i thought white-ra is 3. and whuite-ra could EASY beat ret like always but WTF white-ra is LAST and KR is 3. ? WTF |
| Damn, I wont be able to watch this tonight. Is there any possibility that someone can record vod, release reps or so? I really really want to see this! :( |
| #16 There is a VOD Section on the side. They upload it always very fast. Tommorow they should be available :) Just click in the VOD Section on "Starcraft" (right side). |
| #15 well yeah... kr > ra Go Go IdrA & BRAT_OK :D |
| yeah col_drake, he would beat me easy like always... :P |
| Didnt draco recently forfeit some other league. so its a chance he wont come :P |
| http://tv.esl.eu/de/esltv_stream/stream/55-flv-free must instal flash and some plugin read and go go go go go  |
| just kill the zergs :) |
| Awesome... First we get Bisu vs Jaedong in an ace match and now this! Woot! |
| where was it on tl.net that ret would become inactive? |
| if thats true then: nooooooooooo reeeet please dont leave us!!! |
| why it doesnt start allready?? |
| omg german.... |
| OMG they want me to pay ... in order to watch it ... LOL its so nice !!! |
| i cant believe mondy is being raped by CORSAIRS |
| draco shouldhave won this, but he sucks...they both suck |
gg good storm draco gosu  |
| Omg, this rocks! Game ftw :o |
| draco won 1-0 in what is to be worlds retardest game...first draco harrasses mondy with cors and kills like 5936970396038905 overlords over entire game, he also manages to take out mondy's 2nd natural (on BS). then he STOPS attacking. mondy turns game around with little 6 ling drops. that was rofl coz while draco didnt know to defend his main vs 6 ling drops, mondy didnt know how to stop loosing ovy's. in the most retarded end of all...what it seemed like a victory for mondy is changed into dracos victory by his turtle style. fuck this im out |
| Go mondi and Rafa! |
i bet mondi looses the 2nd game aswell  |
| gg drop for mondi !! |
| 1-1 GG, gogo mondi ! |
| 1-1 |
| i feel next map split pot .... |
| It's like watching C rank players battling on iCCUp --; Such a bad play from both players (especially Draco). Boring! |
| #33 Oh come on Mr. Pro. This game was awesome. |
bw24seven 1 use marihuana or what ? ?? -)))  |
mondi win gg i was go all.in thanxx mondi  |
| --; Lost my time here. Really... |
| over 13 kills 4 the lurker behind the ecoline of the natural! GEEEE GEEEEEE intense series! gogo Mondi |
| bw24seven 1 stfu noob :)) |
| I think Draco was the noob here. He lost so many cors to hydra/spore, and he didn't exploit the map as he should have. If he had killed the overlord of mondragon overlooking the lurker, he wouldn't have lost probes. Maybe it was his first time playing this map? Just my 50c though :) |
| is the game over? BO ?? |
| Kr has done a lot of big upsets, to say that Ret will have no problem is kind of arrogant. |
| wait a minute ... i dont get it , 2 players advancing from a group right ? so why ParanOid and Draco were fighting for the spots ? seems kinda ridicolous for me ... |
