Match One July 15th, 03:55 GMT (+00:00)
Babo VS IU+ Show Spoiler +
A rematch of the semi-final from the DRIT that brought us some classic D-Rank level games. Their last series saw proxy gateways, DT rushes, and an elimination race. Expect great things as the Bo5 becomes a Bo7.

Essbee VS Massssssss+ Show Spoiler +
What could be the best match of the entire series. Essbee won gold in DRIT Season 1, whereas Massssssss has demonstrated excellent play at the zerg D+ level.

Obelisco VS L_Master+ Show Spoiler +
The series concludes with an excellent TvP matchup, as the always dangerous Rexel is pitted against the beloved long-time D-Rank streamer, caster, and player L_Master
Match Five TBD 03:55 GMT (+00:00)
Guygun VS Nagisama+ Show Spoiler +
At last, my favorite matchup. Pray for two port wraiths as two of the best low level terrans go head to head.
Match Six TBD 03:55 GMT (+00:00)
Fl0i VS Arca(Crema)+ Show Spoiler +
D-Rank ZvP always promises lots of fun. Arca grabbed silver in DRIT Season Two and is the favorite, but Fl0i is a very dangerous zerg that could take the Bo7.
