Possibly half-ways through the semi finals of GSTL, Azubu is showing they aim for nothing less than a place in the finals. StarTale will be given a chance to bounce back tomorrow.
Axiom-Acer awaits in the final as a natural consequence of a very strong season on their end. Azubu is one match away now from taking the second finalist spot after a dominant performance today. By only using two players, they went through the players of StarTale like butter. Ragnarok first dispatched of Panic and Hack from StarTale before eventually dropping to fellow Zerg player Life. Azubu's next man of the hour, Terran player SuperNova, took it from there and finished off Life as well as his successor Curious, thus ending the match at 4-1. Azubu takes the lead 1-0.
The format of course ensures at least another best-of-7 match, that one being played tomorrow morning at 10.00 CET (18.00 KST). If StarTale were to bounce back and secure four sets tomorrow, the third and deciding match will be played on Thursday.
So far the somewhat recent addition of RagnaroK is paying off for Azubu, he was aquired October 1st, proving that Azubu picks their players with care.
