<font style="font-size:16px; font-weight:bold;">[u]About the Match[/u]</font>
A highly anticipated match throughout Europe and North America (of course), the USA team features top players from their scene, including MYM's DeMoN and ex-VT's PowerNet. Despite lacking players from Garaj/ex-DTS, the RUSSIA team is no pushover, as they have the legendary Vigoss in their roster. Also playing for RUSSIA is GG.net's very own Azen. Finally, this is one of the games where USA had used a specific, odd, eye-opening strategy.
[spoiler]The mythical Quad-Lane that SyndereN talked about during ESWC 2010 Madmortigan shoutcasts?![/spoiler] Throughout the tournament, USA would go on to use this strategy again, showing either sheer luck or extensive practice and ingenuity (the latter, of course).
Out of the series, Game #2 had the highest user rating and was a Recommended Replay by GosuGamers.net, featuring several epic clashes and sneaky maneuvers.
