SK Telecom T1 and STX Soul crushed the competition today and added +4 points to their active, heavily relying on their Protoss line-up.
The latter was most true for Boxer's team which destroyed KHAN's opposition in four one-sided and rather uneventful games, using Protoss players only. Turn was the only KHAN player that came close to winning a set for his team after killing 11 SCVs of Bisu during a proxy Rax rush but an Oracle counter-attack and a sturdy defense ultimately judged in Protoss' favor.
The OSL champion Rain came in to close in for the all-kill after Parting's, Best's and Bisu's successes. Showing incredible resilience against Reality's bio drops and amassing a trampling army of Archons, Colossi and Gateway units, Rain stormed in for the kill.

Unlike the first match of the day, STX and KT picked up pace from the beginning. Action went on a dropping rampage and tried to cripple Innovation's production while establishing a Swarm Host presence in the middle of the map but the Terran was a hard nut to crack. Massive engagements soon broke out all over the place and Action's Ultras, Swarm Hosts and Infestors had to taste lethal end of Innovation's gunpower.
STX followed up with their Protoss line-up and Trap and Mini quickly amplified their team's lead to 3-0. To wrap it all up, Classic survived the base race against Crazy's army of Swarm Hosts, Nydrus Worms and Mass Queens and secured the all-kill for STX.

One more match is left before the first week of round four is over and tomorrow CJ Entus faces EG-TL. At +8 points (and with KT Rolster just a point behind), CJ are fighting for a better position within the top four. On the other hand, EG-TL are coming in with renewed confidence after their 4-3 win over the ranking leaders Woongjin Stars but with their score being at -21, there is still a long way to the upper half.
