The Ongamenet finals are knocking on the door, now when the match for the third place has been played. Reach versus Yellow, a set of games that proved to be very tight and close!
When Boxer won with 3-0 over Yellow with the debated bunker rush, the Zerg player was really crushed. On his fansite, he wrote a message to his fans, apologizing for the poor show and saying that Terran is a really tough race to face as Zerg. Whether how thought through that message was, it is sure that he was scarred with the loss. You can read more about the second semi-final » here.
Yellow up against Reach

Reach lost to Iloveoov in the first semi-final, a match that required all the games to be played.

And a lot was at stake - the winning player will be automatically seeded to the next Starleague, while the loser gets to take a longer trip via the Challenge League.
