The Bronze finals was marked by a PvP of grandeur between Adelscott and Socke. The German Protoss, who went through play-offs of death, slaying two Liquid members in the face of Tyler and HuK along the way, and was knocked down by the champion to the Bronze finals, lost 3:2 to the French. Although he managed to took an early 2:0 lead, Socke gave it up in the next three sets as Adelscott won 3:2 after an amazing comeback.
