The China Undead phenomenon saw himself in one of the toughest groups in the first phase of the competition together with Jae Ho 'Moon' Jang of Meet Your Makers and nGize pair Benjamin 'DeMusliM' Baker and Andrew 'YanE' Toeniskoetter.

With defeats of nGize duo and a close loss to Moon, he was among the first ones who proceeded to the second group stage. However, “Group of death” never ends stalking the World Elite player.

“I suffered serious jet lag and was sleeping when TH000 told me and Sky our second group drawing. I only knew I was with Lyn and SoJu, but not HoT. I then wondered how come I have always been drawn into 'Group of death' in 2 years.”

Tackling one of the best Undead killers June 'Lyn' Park of SK Gaming, title holder Seong Deok 'SoJu' Lee of SK Gaming and PGL Season III fourth place Mykhaylo 'HoT' Novopashyn of Gravitas Gaming is not any easy task for any world class player, but TED has beaten them all.

“The feeling of winning all was just amazing. HoT, ReiGn and loads of folk sitting behind called me the imba man. It’s just terrific.”

The Undead player will meet Frenchman Yoan 'ToD' Merlo of Gravitas Gaming in the quarter-finals, who progressed from Group C as he won one more round than the ESWC Masters champion Moon.
