Monkeybusiness are the first semi finalist of ESWC 2011. The Danes successfully took down EHOME and now lead the way in group 1 with three victories to zero.
An enduring and tough battle took place in the fourth round of the ESWC groupstage. Careful play and high concentration was demanded and delivered from both sides. One could see EHOME patiently waiting for their chance, after having maintained an even score in demolished towers until the very end. With an early advantage in hand however, monkeybusiness seemed to have gotten a grip on the match left almost every team fight with minimal lead. Eventually the walls of EHOME broke and the Barracks fell by easy stages.
