Mvp, NesTea and Leenock have successfully made their way to the championship bracket, stepping on the hard, thorny way towards the $50,000.

The red stream saw Mvp duking it out against his team-mate Losira. They opened the series with an enticing game of an overwhelming perfection and magnitude and it took them more than 40 minutes to finish the set on Tal'Darim Altar. Losira took an early advantage with his mutalisks and kept it thus for the better part of the game, staying on top of the macro and map control game, throwing all sorts of nightmares at Mvp. Fungals, ultralisks, mutalisks and brood lords were constantly in the face of the terran but Mvp looked like an unmovable statue of steel. Despite being many bases behind, Mvp exploited every mistake of Losira (the biggest of them being the way he managed his brood lords) to eventually overpower him with marauder/medivac composition.

Losira once again picked up a good pace come the second set on Metalopolis but could not properly transition into a solid late-game, giving Mvp the chance to catch up in economy and dominate the series from that point on.

In addition to Mvp, two more Koreans also made it to the championship bracket as NesTea and Leenock flawlessly defeated TLO and State, respectively.
