ImageSK Gaming's rapha saw off k1llsen in two straight to setup a rematch against Strenx which dates back to their two playoff meetings in November in Sweden.

After taking care of one playoff series rematch, from IEM V Gamescom, by beating DE Marcel 'k1llsen' Paul in two straight maps SK Gaming's US Shane 'rapha' Hendrixson has setup a rematch with a more recent flavour by reaching FR Kevin 'Strenx' Baeza in the upper bracket Semi-Final of the Ultimate Gaming Championship.

The IEM V World Champion met the Frenchman twice in the space of a few days back in November as he defeated him 2-1 in the BEAT IT tournament but was swept in three straight in the main DreamHack Winter 2010 tournament. rapha still holds the edge in their matchup history thanks to a 2-0 win at ESWC but Strenx's peaking form as 2010 continued sets up an interesting challenge for SK's star dueler.

UGC upper bracket Quarter-Final #2:
US Shane 'rapha' Hendrixson 2:0 DE Marcel 'k1llsen' Paul
-6:2 Blood Run
-7:6 Aerowalk

UGC upper bracket Semi-Final #1:

16:40 CET US Shane 'rapha' Hendrixson vs. FR Kevin 'Strenx' Baeza
