Markus "Thorzain" Eklöf and Dmitriy "Happy" Kostin will lock horns in tonight's finisher for the WarCraft 3 tournament.
The two 19-year-olds have had a solid run in the tournament so far, both booting out tournament favorites on their way. Now they face each other in a direct qualifier match for this fall's BlizzCon 2010 tournament in Anaheim.
The Swedish Human player started out winning a tight game against fellow team mate Thomas "ThomasG" Glinski by a 2-1 score. He then went on to further prove why he is a dangerous foe for Orc players by kicking down Pedro "LucifroN" Moreno Durán in the loser bracket after 2-1.
The Undead Russian, not seen playing internationally since the Electronic Sports World Cup back in July, parried his countrymate Nikita "Nicker" Pomadov in the first round 2-0. He then went on to play a gripping three-game series against Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen. The former team mates went at it in three very close games (bar the first game) which ended in favor for the Russian.
