Team Liquid triumph in SC2L over Acer

After not dropping a single series, the squad in blue was crowned champion of the StarCraft 2 League after a 4-1 against the green shirts of Acer. $5,000 is the cheque that Team Liquid will be banking.

Team Liquid came into the SC2L playoffs as the winners of the regular season, breaking the tie with Evil Geniuses thanks to their direct victory over them. Once in the final four, Liquid did not slow down their momentum and started their playoffs run by 4-2'in their future grand final opponent Acer, sending them to the lower bracket. A tough back and forth series against Evil Geniuses further solidified Liquid's streak and labeled them a top two SC2L team.

Meanwhile in the lower bracket, Acer fought for dear life, knowing a loss means elimination. Playing against the ropes had hardened the green team, however, and Acer met and destroyed every opponent along their way, 4-1'ing both Axiom and Evil Geniuses. 

This put them in a revenge grand final match against Team Liquid. Acer decided to stick to the plan that has been winning them their lower bracket games and opened with an Innovation/Nerchio/Innovation combo for the first three games. To their ill luck, only a single victory came out of that and Liquid followed up Snute's loss in game one with four triumphs in a row. HerO tied the series against the Pole, Taeja took a double kill against Terran duo Innovation and MMA and TLO cleaned it up in a Zerg mirror against Bly for the final 4-1.
