Format

This double-elimination tournament features 8 teams from around the world and is an All-Kill team format. This match is being played for the Winners Round of 8. The first team to defeat everyone on the opposing team's roster (5 wins, or a best of 9), will move on in the Winners Bracket, while the loser will drop down into the Losers Bracket. Keep in mind that this has a $10,000 prize pool, and only three teams will make it to the money!

Mousesports has a roster full of tournament winners and players that have experience playing in South Korea. Millenium has a solid roster with an incredible anchor in Stephano. This match may likely rest on his shoulders, so we will see if he and his teammates can live up to the pressure. Here are their full rosters:

Mousesports

HasuObs

MaNa

MorroW

biGs

ThorZaIN

HeRoMaRinE

Close call, but i would say mouz. Stephano doesn't seem very sharp lately.

Stephano is always sharp, he also happens to be human so sometimes he loses. However he will be in Korea at that time andr Mousesports almost never loses a Clan War. So I'll bet on Mouz. DieStar, LaLuSh and Adelscott are really plagued with irregularity in their games but they are able to beat anyone on Mouz. Feast is really showing his skills lately but he won't make anything decisive. Apparently Tarson decided to retrain for SC 2 so he might play. On Mouz side, everyone of them is on form except biGs and HeroMarine. The latter will be unlikely to have any playing time though.

Millenium has the ability to take this if they prepare really well.

Also, I want to see more Tarson.

MorroW will also be in Korea, and Mouz has a better deeper roster.

Mouz will win.

This is probably the closest MU from all the team games, mouz have a stronger overall team and i would say they would win, but i've just finished watch stephanos stream, he is roflstomping korean GM's Millenium 5-1

Mouz has a better team overall imo, so I think they'll take it. It'll probably be close... unless Millenium can't field a full team again (which I sincerely hope doesn't happen- I'd like to see them play this series out to the end!).

AIOL!

The clan war has already been played like 1 or 2 weeks ago and i think i know the result because llewelys, the millenium manager did a kind of bad spoil on his stream during msi procup. I think that Stephano is a little bit stronger than any mouz player but they are stronger overral and i don't see another Millenium take a map to thorzain or mana. So if stephano is send in first it's either 5-0 or 0-5.

But gogogogo Millenium i hope !

Hmm I think this will be a close one. Mouz doesn't really have anyone who is particularly good against zerg, so taking down Stephano will be interesting, but at the same time I wouldn't be shocked if Stephano also lost to a player like Thorzain or Hasuobs right away. Other than that Millenium still has quite some strong players. It should be a good match, but I am favoring Mouz.

Mouzsports gogo!
Also MorroW's TvZ is pretty fantastic, I think he's more than capable of taking out Stephano.
Also also hope to see Tarson, haven't seen him play in a while

Millenium all the way; I really like Tarson after seeing him at (where was it again? The tournament where Ret won, I think) Whatever-invitational (?), and Stephano is crazy when he's in good shape, so we'll see. I admit it might get close, however.
