The German RTS veteran retaliated for the grand finals of the EPS Summer tour of 2011 as he faced and beat Socke. With XlorD and monchi in the third place match, we saw a reversal of the top four finishers from last season this time around.

After last season’s surprise of XlorD and monchi taking to the finals and the Austrian grabbing the first spot, things went back to more familiar grounds as both long-time EPS hogs Socke and HasuObs went straight to the final match. Dennis "HasuObs" Schneider managed to send his old WarCraft 3 rival XlorD to the third place match with a 3-1 victory, including a draining one-and-a-half-hour match on Akilon Wastes. Equally unsatisfying was the semi-final experience of XlorD’s teammate monchi, who, after leading 2-0, allowed Socke to pull back 3-2 after a handful of minor blunders in game three.

The match for third place, filled with the expected friendly banter between the two XMG boys, was ultimately decided in favor of the German Zerg. The grand finals, somewhat unsurprisingly due to the substantial lack of Terran players, was to be decided between the two seasoned veterans HasuObs and Socke, wherein the former managed to continue his strong performance from the semi-finals with a 3-1 victory, a direct rebuttal from the Summer 2011 finals.
