Consisting of four Korean players Group B of the second groupstage proved to be as first expected, a group too close to call.The group opened with a victory for Sung Sik 'ReminD' Kim as he came back from a one map deficit to win 2-1 against Hyeong Ju 'Check' Lee. Although Night Elf mirror is ReMiND's strongest matchup the same can not be said for Orc versus Elf which was Lyn's opening matchup of group B pitted against Jae Ho 'Moon' Jang.
Lyn lost his opening Orc versus Elf match against Moon with a 2-1 scoreline but bounced back to defeat SK team-mate ReMiND 2-0. ReMiND opted for an aggressive playstyle against his team-mate but in both matches failed to do enough damage to justify lack of creeping which his Orcish enemy did plenty off and which ultimate gave his army the edge.
However while the two SK Gaming players battled it out Check brushed off Moon in Night Elf mirror 2-0 levelling the playing field with all of Group B with 3 points and only two matches remaining.
Lyn's last and final match of the group stage was against Check who he beat in 2 straight maps, Echo Isles and Turtle Rock. The victory put Lyn on top of the group with 6 points leaving only ReMiND versus Moon to decide who would be joining him in the playoffs.
ReMinD opened the scoring with a win on Echo Isles but Moon drew level on Secret Valley. The third game was a long one on Twisted Meadows and unfortunately saw a computer glitch bring an end to the series as ReMinD's game crashing and PC restarting giving Moon the win on the final map. This means Lyn and Moon will now join the winners of group A in the 4-man playoffs which will take place later today.
Playoff matches
Yoan 'ToD' Merlo vs June 'Lyn' Park
Du Seop 'WhO' Chang vs Jae Ho 'Moon' Jang
