RoX.Ex[TmG] beats the new SK Telecom 1 member Legendary, until he faced his compatriot 3D.Androide and beat him with 2-0. Then he faced WE.W_Y_W (2-0) and Xiaozi[pG] (2-0) until he faces gese (who is noone else than Ogogo (picture)). Same as Ex, Ogogo didn't lose a single game so far, beating every opponent 2-0 : Linyu)Pj in the first round, Bat.RushGoon in the 2nd, rs.Day[9] in quarter finals, x6AMD.SunCow in semi finals until he faces now RoX.Ex[TmG].
Winner bracket final :
gese | > | Rox.EX[TmG] | 3 - 0 |
There isn't much to say, Ogogo beats Ex.[TmG] with 3-0 giving him a spot in the Grand final and still not a single loss for the former WCG winner.
Loser bracket Quarter finals :
x6AMD.Suncow | < | mYm.Stinger | 0 - 2 |
mYm.Stinger (picture) on the way to Grand final? After losing in the first round to Spawn[pG] he took all the way through loser-bracket beating the following players (order by round) : eSa.Breakdown (2-0), mYm.HBQ (F), Mondragon[pG] (2-0), WE.W_Y_W (2-0), mYm.Draco (2-0) and x6AMD.SunCow (2-0) in quarter-finals, until he faces Linyu)Pj now.
How did Linyu)Pj manage to advance to semi finals? First round lose vs gese, through loser-bracket the followings victories (order by round) : Anon[pG] (2-0), iG.KaaZ (2-0), 3D.Androide (F), In_DoveTerran (1-0), Blackman[TmG] (2-0) and Xiaozi[pG] (2-0) in quarter finals. Time to face mYm.Stinger.
Loser bracket Semi Final :
mYm.Stinger | < | Linyu)Pj | 0 - 2 |
2-0 victory for Linyu)Pj (picture) and a spot in loser-bracket grand final versus RoX.Ex[TmG] which will be best out of five. The winner of these games will face gese in the Grand final, which will be played best out of seven. Interesting might be that gese beat both of them already in former rounds (Linyu)Pj in first round (2-0) and Ex.[TmG] (3-0) in winner bracket final).
Loser bracket Final, best out of five :
Rox.EX[TmG] | vs. | Linyu)Pj |
Grand final, best out of seven :
gese | vs. | winner of Ex vs. Pj |
Anyone able to stop Ogogo? He didn't lose a single game yet, beat each of the challenger already in former rounds. We will see.
Note : Due the matter of fact that the replays are very requested by manys and asking for them all the time won't affect anything, Dknight over at www.wgtour.com stated already:
"As a result, the replays will be released together at a later date."
So there is nothing left to be patient and wait until they will be released.
