While Nestea easily passed onto the Ro16 in WCS NA, things were a lot harder for his illustrious teammate LG-IM_Mvp in WCS Europe. Although he easily defeated Empire|Siw in his first match, he suffered a rough 0 - 2 loss to DIMAGA in the winners match, ceding first place in the group to the Ukrainian Zerg.
Mvp then had to face aTn.Socke in the final match, which ended up being a close call for Mvp. Socke won the first map with the help of DT drops and was close to winning the second, and Mvp was only able to pullback and take the 2 - 1 series win by the slimmest of margins.
DIMAGA and Mvp progress to the Ro16 rounds played live in Europe, while Siw and Socke fall to the Challenger League.
WCS America: 'Americans' still looking for representative as AX.Alicia and Nv.mOOnGLaDe take group H.
The story of WCS America thus far has been that no players from the American continent have advanced, and that held steady for yet another group as Korea's AX.Alicia and Australia's Nv.mOOnGLaDe triumphed over Mexico's Maker and the USA's mouz.Illusion.
As expected, the Korean player Alicia advanced in first place, leaving it to the 'foreigners' to fight it out for second. Maker dropped out first, leaving Illusion and Moonglade to duke it out for a valuable Ro16 spot. Moonglade eventually emerged victorious 2 - 0 in the end after a tough and hard fought series.
MoonGlade played one of the scrappiest games I have seen in a while and it was a blast to watch. And MVP proves again that he is unstoppable and loves Europe.

4-3 against Europeans is hardly 'unstoppable', even given lag issues.

I completely agree. I really appreciate the work you, Waxangel, has put in but I did prefer how it was previously when you at least could go to the forums without being spoiled. I think it was a reasonable balance; if you plan to only watch the vods and don't wanna get spoiled - then don't go to the front page of a news website (teamliquid) or read recent interviews, articles, twitter and such. But if you can't even go to the forums without topics spoiling you well... personally I will stop visiting teamliquid all together (I don't have time to watch everything live and I really don't like being spoiled) and that is really sad FOR ME, not for teamliquid who Im pretty sure would do just fine without me.
But if the community likes it this way, I definitely can see what's positive about it, then I totally accept that and respectfully take my leave (at least for now) of this awesome website.
