Despite losing to Liild.C in the groupstage, Moon shrugged it off to dispose of Seo Woo 'ReiGn' Kang, Du Seop 'WhO' Chang and finally Xiaofeng "Sky" Li of World Elite who so expertly eliminated fellow Human player Yoan 'ToD' Merlo

Moon ran into trouble on Terenas Stand in the first game, opting for the early expo but was unable to push back Sky despite picking Panda and Pitlord as 2nd and 3rd heroes in a vain attempt to delay the inevitable.

The second game was on Twisted Meadows with Sky going for a cross-map tower rush, killing Moon's tavern wisp bought Sky some time to set up his towers but Moon soon got his Beastmaster and got out of a bad situation.

Sky continued his aggressive playstyle as he has throughout the entire tournament but could not break Moon down to finish him off which caused the score to go to one all.

The final game was Echo Isles, with Sky going for a fast expansion which inevitably delayed his second hero. Moon's pressure helped to delay Sky's Archmage reaching level 3 and added a Naga Sea Witch to make things even worse for sky. When Sky finally did reach tier 2 he also chose a Naga Sea Witch and opted for tower rushing. With his Naga dying in two consecutive attacks and Moon's heroes gaining levels, Sky's gamble to go tier 2 and not tier 3 to counter the imminent bears went awry.

Moon soon massed enough bears to make it very difficult for Sky to counter them without griffins or some knights, and in the end he had to admit defeat.
