Two WCG contestants met in Face 2 Face a week before World Cyber Games. Not until now, the F2F administrators published the match. The Romanian player SoL.Shaman stood against iD.Twisted from the Netherlands.
SoL.Shaman (ShamanofDeath) won the WCG Romanian Preliminaries that only had one spot, and was placed in Group F where became the runner-up, after ToT)tomsOn(. But further than that he didn't play. He faced ElkY in the first round of the playoffs, and got beaten with 2-0.
iD.Twisted won the preliminaries in the Netherlands, and was one of the three from his country to play in the Grand Final. He was placed in Group B, where he went 3-0. He advanced to the playoffs and won versus Gorky. In the next round he faced ZelotITO and lost with 1-2.
Romanian player with better micro
Despite that Twisted made it further in the brackets than Shaman, Twisted was defeated by Shaman quite easily in F2F with 4-1. There are battlereports available, and by reading those, it seemed like Shaman won because of better micromanagement and expansion hunting. If you don't want to read battlereports, there are of course replays as well.
