The Spanish Terran was revived six games into the series to pin a quadra kill and deal Mousesports their first loss in TeamStory Cup.

The series started with a standard archon vs bio PvT but soon turned into a race between Hope and Lucifron about who can score more kills and faster. Hope used 3-base hydra/roach timings to maim Vipro and Socke and continued his momentum through the next two games. Ling/muta mid-game into ultralisk composition was the end of Lucifron while an aggressive speedling play was the death of Vortix.

Hope extinguishes Lucifron's first life

Almost out of players and one game away from defeat, Karont3 had to use a revival card and so Lucifron was brought back. Learning from his earlier game, Lucifron upped his bio play and put an end to Hope's reign of terror and flamed out Heromarine with sleek hellbat play to lessen the score gap to 4-3.

Not willing to risk another loss, Mouz put out the best their roster has to offer - Polish Protoss Mana. The titans crossed swords in the eight set and fought for 24 minutes before Lucifron's bio can finally prevail but Mana was immediately revived to play a revenge ace match against the Spaniard.

Mana chose an oracle opening but Lucifron's defenses were keen and he was able to establish a stable 3-base economy. From there, Lucifron played the game out in very WoL fashion, using MMM as his main fighting force and mixing in a pinch of vikings to deal with Mana's colossi. At the 14th minute mark, Lucifron stormed Mana's third, took it down and pushed for the killing blow.
