Grzegorz "MaNa" Komincz took victory for his team in the ace match for the second week running in the Acer TeamStory Cup. Axiom lost their first match of the tournament, putting the mouseports team top of the tables at this early stage.
The Polish Protoss is fastly showing why he is the Ace player on Mousesport as he was once again revived to guarantee their win in the final game. After only two weeks, MaNa has already gained himself a 9-2 personal record, with all games notably against Koreans.
hOpe's win over Alicia today is so far the only win by another player on the team. With Axiom securing the early lead in Game 1 against Illusion, MaNa fought back by taking the next three games over Miya, Ryung and Heart. Game 4 quickly devolved into a crazy low-econ situation with both players opting for proxy strategies, Oracles vs Widow Mines.
Poised on the brink of defeat, Axiom's protosses Alicia and Crank were able to recover the situation and even up the score to bring it to a deciding Game 9. Despite being slightly behind in army supply, MaNa patiently waited for a favorable position before engaging in the final large engagement, mixing Tempests into his composition in the maxed-army battle of Zealots, Collossus, Immortals and Archons. Coming out of this battle significantly better off than his opponent, all that remained was to chase down the roaming group of blink stalkers to secure the win.
