World Championship Series 2014 continued its unpredictable start as EG.Jaedong suffered a shock elimination in the Ro32 of WCS America. Despite being the second place finisher in the 2013 season of WCS, Jaedong found himself laid low by all-ins from Taiwanese player Yoe.Has.
Having started off the group by suffering a 0-2 defeat at the hands of Bomber, Jaedong was expected to easily topple WCS newcomer Has in the loser's match. However, a dark templar rush in game two, followed by a creative cannon rush in game three saw Jaedong eliminated 2-1 in one of WCS's biggest upsets.
Jaedong's elimination was not the only surprise in the group as the little-known Korean Protoss ESC.Arthur claimed an unlikely first place finish. After defeating Has in his first match of the night, Arthur was able to take out RedBull_Bomber 2-1 in the winner's match. Though Arthur's 2-base blink all-in was deflected in game one, a 1-base variation allowed him to tie up the series in game two. Arthur then closed out the series in game three with yet another all-in, expanding to Habitation Station's gold base before overpowering Bomber with a horde of gateway units.
Bomber had to face yet more all-ins in the final match of the night as Has threw several proxy-building rushes his way. However, Has' execution and micro left much to be desired compared to Arthur, and Bomber was able take a 2-0 victory to book his spot in the Ro16.
