The forth season of the PgR21 tournament has had a high number of 'foreign' participants and very nice prize money. Now they are at the semifinals and two non-koreans are still left. On opposite sides of the brackets.
For the first time the PgR21 tournament had lotsa of non-koreans this season. And they didn't all get knocked out early.
| Quarterfinals | ||
  Pj | 2-0 |  HOn_JOon |
 NsP_bit | 2-0 | schnee[kaL] |
 By.FanTaSy | 2-0 |  By.Oldy |
| ogogo | 1-2 |  Draco |
That means that FanTaSy, who beat defending champion CryStaL in an earlier round is now going up against Draco. Pj will have to face NsP_bit.
TT1 managed to catch up with FanTaSy on battle.net and with the help of the SKT T1 coach, aficionado, he managed to conduct a little interview. Both Koreans reveal that they were surprised by Draco defeating ogogo, but are not worried about him even though FanTaSy admits that TvP is not his best matchup. He says that He's strongest TvT and weakest TvZ.For those of you who are unaware, FanTaSy is a member of SKT T1 and is considered by many to be the favorite to win this tournament. He himself added: Im gonna win this PGR 4th season tourney!!

The prizepool is amazing. The special prize is for the player who is the most exciting. Meaning he's the most fun to watch. This will be decided by the PgR21 admins.
As you can see these four players are very close to the cash prize now. It will be very exciting to watch if Draco or Pj manages to go all the way. The semifinals and final are both best of 5 and there has also been a rumour that they will be played offline, since all the participants at this point are in Korea. Carrot, a PgR21 admin did not confirm this though, but seemed optimistic about the final being played offline at least.
*update, both reps of fantasy vs oldy now availiable.
