Both players proceeded to the semi-finals after enjoying victories over respective opponents with huge margin in quarter-finals. Fly100% blew away Sung Sik 'ReMinD' Kim with a clean sheet, while Moon got his revenge for losing to his fellow Korean Sung Yeon 'Myth' Kim in the first group stage with a comfortable 3-1 win.

Not only odds were stacked in favour of Moon ahead of this semi-finals tie, but also their respective win ratio in this match-up(Fly100% has merely 48% while Moon has about 64%), and the Player of the Year Award winner has won most of the previous clashes between them.

The Meet Your Makers player took the lead in the best of five match with a victory on Tidewater Glades, but his Mousesports counterpart put end to his winning streak in the rest of the match in style.

In spite of executing three different strategies from the second game to the fourth and successfully luring Fly100% with brilliant moves a couple of times, Moon could not get the better of him in most of the decisive fights and saw Fly100% surpass him with an unprecedented 3-1 win.

With Moon being the only non-Orc player, his loss consequently turned the overall final into a Orc mirror. June 'Lyn' Park and Manuel 'Grubby' Schenkhuizen, who crushed the ESWC 2008 champion Du Seop 'WhO' Chang in the quarter-finals, will go head to head on September 25 for another overall final place.
