The Meet Your Makers player, who has been criticized for his inability in Night Elf mirror games from dawn to dusk, found the winning formula when he took the field against SaSe in the opener. He utilized his opponent’s several minor faults at Tidewater Glades and later on displayed his trademark map control at Twisted Meadows. After dismissing tenacious Weiliang 'Fly' Lu in the upper bracket final, Moon joined the ranks of June 'Lyn' Park and Xiaofeng 'Sky' Li in Knockout stage.

In spite of losing the debut game in his group, SaSe claimed two consecutive victories over both Xiang 'TH000' Huang and his Mousesports team-mate and followed Moon in the Knockout stage. TH000 and Fly100% however will continue their campaign in Revival stage tomorrow.

The highlight of the day goes to SaSe’s preservation trick versus Moon at Twisted Meadows. The Swede was creeping the island mine on the left top corner of the map and Moon discovered it by using Goblin Laboratory. SaSe’s Demon Hunter had no Scroll of Town Portal but Staff of Preservation at that time.

So he uploaded all his units to his Zeppelin except his Demon Hunter and moved Zeppelin distance away from his hero. He then preserved the Zeppelin at the very moment when his Demon Hunter was about to upload to the Zeppelin. His Demon Hunter was preserved back in his base together with the Zeppelin.

Though he lost that game in the end, this trick could shed some light on Night Elf dealing with Orc’s base trade with Raiders. Scroll of Town Portal will no longer be needed. Users over Replays.net forum also deployed this trick with Human’s Staff of Sanctuary, but it did not work as well as Staff of Preservation as the Zeppelin will not be movable until all units inside of it recover fully.
