MLG Providence: MC reaches upper semis

ImageSK's MC has reached the upper semis of MLG Providence following wins over Mvp and IdrA. He will face DongRaeGu at 18:00 CET today. NaNiwa and HuK will play the other semi at 19:00.

24 players still remain alive at MLG Providence but only four are still in the upper bracket, and amongst those four is SK's KR Min Chul 'MC' Jang. MC will face the South Korean Zerg KR Soo Ho 'DongRaeGu' Park in the semi-finals, while SE Johan 'NaNiwa' Lucchesi will battle CA Chris 'HuK' Loranger in the other.

One outcome of these matchups is that there will be at least one foreigner in the top 3 of MLG Providence regardless of who wins all of the remaining matches. Also three of the four remaining players in the upper bracket are Protoss so the chances of a Protoss making the final are high.

MLG Providence upper quarter-final:
US Gregory 'IdrA' Fields (Z) 0:2 KR Min Chul 'MC' Jang (P)
-0:1 Xel Naga Caverns
-0:2 Xel Naga Fortress


SK's Kratos Protoss started out in the upper Ro8, thanks to his seed, and there defeated long-time fellow multiple time GSL champion KR Jong-Hyun 'Mvp' Jung 2:1. In the upper quarter-finals MC went head-to-head with longtime MLG rival US Gregory 'IdrA' Fields and won 2:0 to make it three straight series wins over the American at MLG for the President of Protoss. MC has only faced his next opponent, DongRaeGu, once in his entire SC2 career. The two played a GSTL May match which went to the Zerg on Crevasse.

MLG Providence upper semi-finals:
18:00 CET KR Min Chul 'MC' Jang (P) vs. KR Soo Ho 'DongRaeGu' Park (Z)
19:00 CET SE Johan 'NaNiwa' Lucchesi (P) vs. CA Chris 'HuK' Loranger (P)
