Hao “suhO” Su and Kejing “Like” Li kept their hopes alive after advancing to Revival stage while Jae Wook “Lucifer” Noh and Liwei “xiaOt” Sun were left doom and gloom.

The rising Chinese lad is enjoying a marvelous run so far this year. He not only qualified for most international events’ Chinese qualifiers such as WCG and ESWC, but also helped his team claim the first place of Road of the King after disappointing Seong Deok 'SoJu' Lee in the match point.

The World Elite player opened the campaign of his first major individual tournament with an abrupt loss. He failed in preventing Lucifer to level up his Death Knight to Level 3 and consequently could not fend off his counterpart’s upgraded fiend push. But the player adjusted his strategy well in the other two games. He successfully held back the Meet Your Makers player’s creeping while leveling up his second heroes in the meantime. In the end, high level treble heroes, Troll Headhunters and Kodo beasts combo proved too much for Lucifer to withdraw.

He then went on defeating xiaOt in the upper bracket final, getting his revenge for losing the first place of WCG 2008 China Wild Card Qualifier to the latter.

His team-mate suhO today became another highlight at the Group stage of PGL after Nan 'ForDream' Xie. Starting off with a loss to xiaOt, he surprisingly ruled out both Lucifer and xiaOt in style later on and joined Like in the Revival stage.

As Group A is one of the lower groups due to their poor performance during Team Battle stage, Lucifer and xiaOt follow Hyo Sub 'FoCuS' Eom and ForDream out of the excessively competitive tournament.

PGL will move on to Revival stage starting at 10:00 CET tomorrow. Eight players will play a best of three double elimination format playoffs to decide which four players will survive till the Knockout stage next Tuesday.

The four qualified players for Knockout stage:

June 'Lyn' Park
Jae Ho 'Moon' Jang
Kim 'SaSe' Hammar
Xiaofeng 'Sky' Li

The eight qualified players for Revival stage:

Weiliang 'Fly100%' Lu
Dae Hui 'FoV' Cho
Mykhaylo 'HoT' Novopashyn
Kejing 'Like' Li
Hao 'suhO' Su
Jung Ki 'Susiria' Oh
Xiang 'TH000' Huang
Yoan 'ToD' Merlo
