Three Chinese players out of four have made it out of the revival stage and progressed towards tomorrow’s knockout stage.Xiang 'TH000' Huang was the first one who clinched a berth to the next stage today. After knocking Jung Ki 'Susiria' Oh to the lower bracket with his trademark Paladin strategy, the wNv player went on to challenge Mykhaylo 'HoT' Novopashyn, who overcame a 0-1 disadvantage against the clanless Dae Hui 'FoV' Cho on the other end. Though TH000 failed to withdraw HoT’s expansion and lost the first game, he had his winning formula back afterwards and won the 2-1 thriller in the end.
Knocked down to the lower bracket, the Gravitas player met Kejing 'Like' Li of World Elite. Vigourous Like is known for his hero focus, but HoT's clinical execution of Talon strategy and usage of Staff of Preservation left the young Orc player frustrated. His hero focus in both games looked rather rashly. Taking a win from Like, HoT made it out of revival stage as the only non-Chinese player.
Hao 'suhO' Su, who has not enlightened his fans with a single major achievement for a long time, continued his impressive run at PGL. The soon 25-year-old eliminated both Jae Wook 'Lucifer' Noh and Liwei 'xiaOt' Sun in group stage two days ago and joined his team-mate Xiaofeng 'Sky' Li in the next stage today following an efficient victory over Weiliang 'Fly100%' Lu of Mousesports.
Fly100% dismissed the only last hope of loose Undead in this tournament later as he got a 2-0 win out of FoV. He effectively killed all of FoV’s Gargoyles with several Troll Batrider and Wyverns at Snow Drop and took the 1-0 lead. In spite of losing both of his high level Blademaster and Shadow Hunter as the second game went halfway, Fly100% outplayed his counterpart and finished the game off after killing FoV’s whole army.
The tournament will move on to the knockout stage tomorrow at 10:00 CET. Upper bracket quarter-finals and round one of lower bracket will be played tomorrow whilst the upper bracket semi-finals and round two of lower bracket will go underway on Wednesday. The format of revival stage, best of three and double elimination playoffs, will also be used at knockout stage.
Upper bracket quarter-finals in knockout stage:
Sky vs. suhO
Lyn vs. HoT
Fly100% vs. Moon
TH000 vs. SaSe
