Cloud 9’s AA countered Void Boy’s Alchemist well and closed out all the openings. Cloud 9 took both games of the series.
- HCWP 0:2 Cloud 9 – Cloud 9 drafted a more late game oriented lineup in the first game. Although HCWP had the lead early on and their Alchemist topped the networth charts, Braxton “Brax” Paulson had an amazing game on Templar Assassin and Cloud 9’s strategy was perfectly executed. In the second game of the series, Brax was on fire with his Dragon Knight and Cloud 9 outdrafted HCWP so well, that as soon as they came online, they took the lead and secured the victory.
- Void Boys 2:0 compLexity – Void Boys were able to keep coL’s Gyrocopter and TA under control. Jingjun “Sneyking” Wu had a great game on Shadow Fiend and the Canadians claimed the victory with ease.
