ImageAfter a long day of thrilling Warcraft matches, the second NGL ONE qualifier has concluded to give us our four latest successfuly qualified players.



Not unlike last week, the turn out for this week's qualifier was rather impressive, with the likes of Deok Man 'SocceR' Youn, Mykhaylo 'HoT' Novopashyn, Du Seop 'WhO' Chang and Daniel 'ixi' Spenst showing up to compete. Surprisingly, very few Chinese players made it to the brackets with only two players, Yanchao 'Lyc' Lu and Jiankai 'Yumiko' Yu, turning up to compete.

During the initial qualifier HoT was eliminated from the upper bracket in the first round by Hjalmar 'DowaQ' Högberg, then eliminated from the lower bracket by Chul Woo 'Shy' Park. Two times seems to be the charm fo the Ukranian night elf, this week he was able to glide to the finals through the upper bracket, even beating WhO two to one on his way there with an amazing come back on Twisted Meadows.

The second player to qualify from the upper bracket was Russian orc player Yuri 'Sting' Sheremetov, who, until now, was still uncatagorized as far as ability goes. There's little doubt he shows promise, but as to how much wasn't entirely clear. As far as being a local Russian goes, he's right up there with the best of them, but now, it would seem, given half the chance he could do well on the international circuit too.

Qualfying from the lower bracket was German undead player XlorD, who also competed in the initial qualifier where he had a surprisingly good run, but was eventually eliminated by Daniel 'LiiLD.C' Claesson after a very tough series of matches. This week, XlorD was eliminated from the upper bracket in the first round by René 'Ciara' Krag, he then had to make his way to the final through the lower bracket to secure his victory.

And finally there's Shy, who also qualified from the lower bracket. Shy qualified at the expense of his teammate Hyo Sub 'FoCuS' Eom, who he eliminated from the upper bracket initially before stepping over him again on the way to the lower bracket final.

The third and final qualifier will be held next Saturday, this will be the last opportunity for players to qualify for the NGL ONE.
