Mousesports managed to defeat WeMadeFox 4-3 with solid performances from Wei Liang 'Fly100%' Lu while Evil Geniuses barely edged out Infernal Gaming to beat them 4-3 with Dmitriy 'Happy' Kostin once again missing in action.The fourth playday started off with the battle of the titans in group B, WeMadeFox battled Mousesports for top place while Evil Geniuses went up against Infernal Gaming for a must win match.
Mousesports vs WeMadeFox
Game one kicked off with Fly100% against Jang 'Moon' JaeHo with Fly dominating Moon, winning two straight games in a row giving Mouz a 2-0 lead. Yoon 'Soccer' DeokMan replied by beating Huang 'Th000' Xiang also in two straight maps making a tied 2-2 score.
Next was the team game where the Soccer switched to Orc while Moon stuck to Night Elf against the Night Elf and Undead combo from mouz of TH000 and Dennis 'HasuObs' Schneider. Both teams managing to take a win a piece, once again making a tied score, now 3-3.
It was then down the ace match where Fly once again took on Moon. Both players start standard but then Fly switched to the less common strategy of Head Hunters with Spirit Walkers and Moon being Moon, adapts and goes dual Lores. The two fight in Moon's base and with some great micro while being 10 food down Moon defends it off and Fly is forced to back off. However shortly after Fly is back, this time with peons and towers Moon's base while they battle eventually winning Fly the game. Fly's 3-0 streak showing this is really the year of Fly both offline and online. Final score 4-3 to Mousesports.
Evil Geniuses vs Infernal Gaming
This was a must win match for both teams if either had hopes of advancing passed the groupstage. With the pressure on, the first thing to notice was that Happy was once again not in the EG roster for the second time now meaning EG were using their two Orcs, René 'Ciara' Krag and Manuel 'Grubby' Schenkhuizen.
The first series was between Ciara and Santeri 'Naama' Lahtinen. Both managed to take a map each putting the score at 1-1. This was very impressive by Naama as Ciara showed some great Orc mirror performances during the World Cyber Games a little while ago.
It was then up to Grubby against his Human oponent, 'VeryB1gman' who he managed to defeat two to nothing putting EG in a comfortable lead of 3-1.
With just the team game left EG must have gone in confident knowing they had two blademasters at their disposal but unfortunately for them the very strong IG Night Elf and Undead combo of Juri 'Rosenkill' Rosenkilde and 'Serups' destroyed the EG duo, two games to nothing. This would force a tie breaker match as the score was now 3-3.
With the Ace match left, EG sent out none other then Grubby while IG opted for Rosenkill hoping for the map advantage of Turtle Rock to favor the Danish Undead but it was not to be, Grubby was victorious sealing the match and the valuable points for EG.
EG fans must be wondering why the powerful duo of Happy and Grubby has not been present especially when one loss could send EG's chances of advancing the group stage down the drain.
