Can you participate if you live on Aland Islands? I would love to join and play in this but im not sure if you only take people from Main land Finland?

Last time I checked Åland was part of Finland so I am 99,9% sure that you can participate. But you have to wate for next season (if we get new season) to try quali for this.

Wow, casting is pretty good right now. Fuzer stepped up a lot since I've last seen him, or at least is more sober. And elfi is pretty good as well :p

Shouldn't Y0su's stream also be listed in the event calendar? Might haul in those non-finnish viewers (apart from me)!

Edit: Now it is! Excellent!

First time I have been able to watch on medium without lag since they change it. Fuzer magic or did twitch find the "on" button on their Swedish servers?

So we're guaranteed to have 3 protoss and 1 zerg in the final 4... I think Welmu > Serral in the finals (on the 23rd iirc?)

If you're able to make it past TheBloodyDwarf's picture we've got our final day upon us!

Four of our original 16 are still fighting!

(P)

elfi

Ouga

Serral

Welmu

Our first Semi-final will take place between Elfi and Welmu. Both players are well known for their PvP so this match could be quite entertaining. According to Aligulac.com the players have faced each other a surprisingly low seven times in a competitive setting in SC2!! Considering both players compete in a lot of the same LANs and online tournaments I was shocked to see that the last competitive meeting was at ASUS ROG last summer where Elfi won a close 3-2 series in the second day of group play. The only other time the players faced each other in HotS was a 2-0 win for Welmu in the Starcraft2.fi 3 year anniversary tournament back in May.

Elfi 3 - 2 Welmu. Ask me to start justifying why and I'll only come up with reasons why Welmu will win, but my gut stays with Elfi in a close series.

On the other side of the bracket we have the up and coming and current "Finnish LAN Champion" (3 - 2 over Elfi at Insomnia XV) and only non-protoss player Serral. He is facing the relatively unknown ~~Janitor~~ Ouga! The only competitive meeting between these two players was just last month in the SSCLiiga group stages where Serral took a convincing 2 - 0 win.

+ Show Spoiler [my_prediction] +

Serral 3 - 0 Ouga. Although ZvP is not Serral's best match-up it's been moving up consistently and is the only match up he's had to practice. Ouga has a chance if he has something crazy planned and Serral overlooks him.

Casting will be in English by y0su
