After a day of quarter final matches, four players still remain standing in the tournament. Tomorrow, Hasuobs will meet Elfi, while the second match will be between EG members Puma and Idra.

HasuObs and Elfi both reached the Ro4 by defeating the Ukrainian players Dimaga and Strelok, respectively. HasuObs took a 3-2 win over Dimaga, continuing his PvZ win streak from the group stage. In the second semi-final this was Strelok's first TvP in the tournament and he dropped a 1-3 loss to let Elfi pass.

In the Korean-heavy lower part, Puma defeated compatriot JYP with a convincing 3-0 to remain undefeated in the tournament. EG's terran is absolutely on fire when it comes to tournament results but to reach the grand final he will have to go through teammate Idra first. Greg himself pulled a 3-1 victory against TSL_Revival to make up for his very unconvincing group stage performance.

There are a couple of possibilities to have a group stage rematch in the grand final, depending on how the semi finals develop. The first is Puma vs HasuObs, which the Korean won 2-0, and Idra vs Elfi which ended in the same result.
