LG-IM_Fenix put in good efforts, but could not overcome the Korean wall. Minigun took the only map of the night against the Koreans with an immortal backed bust against Apocalypse, but couldn't get the second win to finish an upset win in the series.

He has Idra in his group, so he has a good shot at making it thru.

So close, Chad I LOST SLEEP over the thought of not region locking. Minigun is arguably one of NAs Best players for a solid time not. Just the fact that koreans can compete in an online tourny from Korea, but all outsiders had to travel to korea to LAN qualify. This is a cold shoulder. I Mod WCS EU & NA I cant deny the appeal of the koreans, what I can say is that we will never see another NAr in a booth. Where they all want to be, you all saw NaNi crying! That is what draws views emotions we can relate with! I want people like Minigun to have a chance to make a podium because out of NA, he is our Parting, and I cant imagine putting in so much effort in a game to NEVER play live where every Starcrafter has dreamed of doing.
