n attractive bill showing an imminent collision between the stainless rivals Manuel 'Grubby' Schenkhuizen and Jang 'Moon' JaeHo meeting in the quarters was flaunted, making thousands of fans shout for joy.
The Korean star, set as favorite according to the GosuBet odds, didn't disappoint as he defeated his nemesis in 3 games to make a giant step to towards the trophy.

In the other encounters, former SK-Gaming team mates Kim 'ReMinD' SungSik and June 'Lyn' Park made a quick work of the Europeans Marcus Sebastian "ThorZaIN" Eklöf and Valentin 'Majestic' Kosorovcev in two games to reinforce the Korean presence in the semis. Fortunately, the Russian talent Dmitriy 'Happy' Kostin didn't flag when facing the Orcish Eom 'FoCuS' HyoSub who couldn't withstand the overwhelming Scourge evil spell.
