Team Acer star Nerchio will go through to the playoffs as one of the scariest looking Zergs from the group stage, after having brushed aside SaSe, SeleCT and DaBoO in Group E.

Nerchio's 14-drone evolution chamber trick sums up the Pole's action in Group E pretty well. In the last game versus SeleCT, Nerchio apparently felt 200/200 was a too small of an army, and thus temporarily used 14 of his drones to build an evolution chamber to free up supply. This allowed him to fill up his swarmy force with even more corruptors against SeleCT to close it off 2-0.

Prior to that, in the first game, Nerchio had fended off multiple marine drops from the Korean Terran efficiently with spread out roaches across his many expansions.

Before eliminating one of the strongest Terrans from the tournament, Nerchio scored 2-1 victories over Dutchman DaBoO and Swede SaSe.

SaSe, who rolled through the first group stage without losing a single game, continued to play up to par by defeating SeleCT (2-1) and DaBoO (2-0) to grab the second place in Group E.
