Poland had beat Serbia & Montenegro in the first round with 5-1, and Russia destroyed its opponents Belarus with 6-0. According to me, Russia was the underdog in this endeavour, and had everything to win.

The Polish Templars of Twilight members TomsOn and Spawn won both their matches for Poland. The Polish legend - Blackman couldn't show up. Both teams showed up with a good lineup no doubt, and I can't wait to see the replays. How about Russia's WCG winner Androide, who won both his 1on1 game and his 2on2 game together with Potrax? As soon as I get my hands on the replay package, I'll update this newspost.
This victory means that Russia are facing Germany in the semi-finals. Poland did a great tournament, but it didn't last in the end. Congratulations to Russia, who were the only ones who beat Poland in this tournament.
This round's matches are over, except for Norway versus Finland, which might be played at Inferno Online, Stockholm in Sweden the 31st of July, if both teams have the time.
