It's Gosu 3-0 CheckSix Gaming
It's Gosu defeats CheckSix Gaming handily, perhaps more so than would have been expected. Gosu advances to the Grand Finals where they await their opponent from the Loser's Bracket, and are guaranteed at least a second place finish in ESEA S10.

My prediction for this match was 3-1 win for Infinity Seven. Nightmares did not play their star player, Masa, however, and this was an easy win for Infinity Seven. Nightmares is eliminated and Infinity Seven advances to Loser's Round 2!
LOSER'S ROUND TWO
(#3) LighT eSports vs Team Clash (#8)

Nerzhul 1-2 ClashPresto
KawaiiLighT 2-1 ClashMoOk
Light eSports 3-2 Team Clash
LighT eSports, for the THIRD TIME, has had their match go to the ACE. Each time the ace match has gone to three games. Man, if I was on LighT, I think I would have had a heart attack already! Kawaii came on top against Clash's MoOk though, and narrowly defeats Team Clash, eliminating them from ESEA in 5th/6th place. LighT advances to Loser's Round 3, where they await the winner of Infinity Seven vs Team Legion!
Clash made an impressive, impressive run in this tournament and really made a name for themselves, taking many matches against very strong teams. They barely made the playoffs but showed that they deserved it, especially with that close last match against LighT! I don't think this is the last we'll be seeing of Team Clash.
(#6) Infinity Seven vs Team Legion (#4)

Infinity Seven 3-1 Team Legion
This match has been postponed, but I think this will be an excellent match. Winner of this match goes on to face LighT eSports in the Loser's Round 3. This is definitely a very hard match to predict. I am very impressed by the results from Infinity Seven's CrazyMoving and Legion's ChiTa, who are both Korean. Infinity Seven had a very strong performance against LighT, whereas Legion had just as impressive a performance against It's GoSu, who most would say is stronger than LighT. So, I think just based on that I'll have to give a slight upper hand to Legion, but this match could definitely go either way. If it reaches ACE, I think we'll be seeing ChiTa vs CrazyMoving, which would be a sick ZvP! We'll see soon I guess!
