Series One - MC P versus Rain P
Game One
Rain takes game one with dark templars as MC opts to go for a later robo. With the lack of detection MC is unable to remain in the game.
Game Two
Rain takes game two as dominantly as game one. With a lucky scout from Rain, he scouts the stargate tech from MC, kills two sentries and is able to reply well to push MC into an irretrievable deficit.

Series Two - Ret Z versus CrazyHydra Z
Game One
CrazyHydra takes game one with a better late game unit composition and some great positional play to take down multiple bases
Game Two
CrazyHydra executes the perfect play to win game two, an attack that kills 50 drones and all the tech structures force Ret into an unwinnable all-in.

Series Three - Flash T versus Crank P

Series Four - Alive T versus Soo Z
Game One
A marathon of a game between these two players comes down to a final deciding battle. Alive dominated the whole of the early game with less than conventional strategies that caught Soo off guard. Alive’s late game composition of sky terran was too much for Soo to take in the final battle.
Game Two
Game two comes down to a base race as Soo decides not to engage the mech army of Alive.
Alive has the far superior army and is able to hold his production facilities with his high ground siege tanks. Soo attempts to drag the game out with a cat and mouse chase, but with time, supply and economy on Alive’s side, he is only delaying the inevitable.

Series Five - Thorzain T versus Stats P

Series Six - Grubby P versus Action Z
Game One
Action takes game two with some amazing infestor play. A mass infestor style from Action sees him able to hold on to the game versus Grubby, despite the constant harass from the protoss taking down bases and key tech structures.
Game Two
Grubby pulls back game two with great opportunistic tactics. A failed cannon rush, failed warp prism harass and a devastating ling counter put Grubby in a massive hole. Grubby then makes some amazing moves that enable him to take down a base, approximately nine infestors and waltz on forward for the victory.
