The tournament semi-finals round started today, nourishing the epic taste of the event that every supporter has sampled since the first confrontations. Attractive bills were in the program as the creme de la creme of the contestants gave themselves a final rendez-vous to elect the best among them by the rule book.

The first match opposed Night Elf virtuoso 'Moon' to his country mate 'FoCuS'. Managing to tie the score after two games, the Orc played extremely well in the third game, however 'The Fifth Race' showed in a trendy way what he was made off, pulling off insane moves with godlike micro in an action-filled game, featuring a bunch of level six heroes. Losing by 2-1 after a sensational outcome, 'FoCuS' had nothing to be ashamed of and proceeded to the 3rd place match.

The second showdown put in action the Chinese Human star 'Sky' and a solid Orc, 'Fly100%'. The latter surprised the audience when he took down the double WCG champion, clearly set as favorite. Score, 2-1 for the Orc.

In the 3rd place match, 'Sky' took his revenge over the green skins when he made a quick work of his opponent 'FoCuS', grabbing the bronze and getting up honorably on the podium.

As the long-awaited clash of the titans in the Final was approaching, the odds went in favor of the Korean taking into consideration that 71% of the audience among the site's community placed their bets on him. But a stunner occured: 'Fly100%' prevailed in two quick games when everyone was expecting a tighter competition in a showdown of this scale. 'Moon' missed the gold again, 'Fly100%' was worthy of the stake and ensconced in the throne.
