The European qualifier for Blizzcon came to a thrilling climax just now as x6tence pipped their fellow-countrymen and a German by the narrowest of margins. Coming from the lower bracket, the paladin/dk/hunter team had to win two best-of-three sets. This came just an hour or so after fellow-Iberian, Pedro 'LucifroN' Moreno Durán won the WC3 qualifier.

x6 swapped things up immediately by swapping their hunter out for a warrior. But things didn't seem to go to plan as the paladin team quickly went 2-0 down. But champions need to show resilience and that's exactly what x6 did. They put on a real show, winning the three back-to-back maps they needed to force a second set.

The second set was almost the polar opposite of the first set, as the teams traded games back and forth. It was x6 who took the lead this time around but Woah pulled it back to 1-1 in impressive fashion. However, the advantage was always x6's despite a 2v3 comeback win for Woah. The pattern of win one-lose one continued right up to the final game, meaning x6 picked up a second 3-2 victory in a row and a slightly larger novelty check.

Woah will be disappointed, but can console themselves with the fact that they did book their trip to the finals already. Whether their victory in the upper bracket final left them satisfied remains to be seen but during the prize ceremony they claimed that "Blizzcon is ours."
