The last two groups of the Incruit StarLeague's first round played over the weekend, and Terran players Midas and Fantasy advanced to round two.

In what might be considered a surprise, Fantasy managed to edge out both SoO and Hall-of-fame player NaDa in two solid series. This young Terran will need to play the best he ever has if he plans on winning this OSL, as he is a sure underdog.

Return of the King.... Midas?
In what was a definite moment of excitement for many old-school players, fan favorite and WCG veteran Midas destroyed both HerO and "fake YellOw" YellOw[ArnC]. As the cliche goes, only time will tell if our friend Midas is for real or not this time. With the list of round two's combatants being exceedingly impressive, one can truly expect some of the very finest Starcraft to date.

The racial distribution is fairly balanced. Both Terrans and Protoss have six players a piece while the Zerg swarm is the minority with only four players in the second round, including defending champion JulyZerg. We will find out if this Starcraft master can defend his title or if he will fall in a humiliating defeat, so keep updated and find out!
