Yes, but he wasn't revived. It is not too difficult to take out one of these ace players once. Axiom took out jjakji, StarDust and Kane but it wasn't enough when a revived jjakji took the last two games. Axiom also took out MMA and INnoVation but had to face a revived INno who won the next three maps to take the match 5-4. If Axiom had the same ride as mouz had got there is no question that they would have definitely won both matches.
That's an issue with the ATC. I love it to bits because it's so exciting but it really could do with more consistency because some times get an unfair advantage due to sheer coincidence of players not being available on the day. Unfortunately, this season the luck hasn't evened out.

It's not that Acer was significantly weakened, since in the past when Innovation was unavailable other players would step up. You would have MMA play twice, and that is usually enough to beat most teams. Today, no one really shined. No one was able to grab more than 1 win, and it was terrible.
I hope the team can become stronger from this loss, as cheesy as it sounds. Better to lose two now then lose two in the playoffs and get eliminated.

It totally is that Acer was significantly weakened. INnoVation didn't play at all and MMA only played once because he wasn't even revived.
Don't try to tell me that Bly, Scarlett, MMA, Nerchio, Scarlett is anywhere near as hard as Bly, INnoVation, Scarlett, MMA, INnoVation.

Acer has lost more matches in a span of 6 hours than it did for all of Season 2.

What a day! 
Anyway, best of luck for INnoVation@GSL and for MMA@WCS.

In season 1 all of Axioms matches were postponed to a later date and they got easier line-ups, this time mouz got lucky, that Inno/SD weren't available and Axiom had a bit harder opponents. I think over it larger time period everything does even out.

"a bit".
That's the understatement of the century.

Well, you are talking about 1 player vs mYi (Stardust) and 1 player vs Acer (Inno). I do not count Kane, since Axiom didn't have to face Serral either. On the other hand, Cold-dig had a much weaker line-up vs Axiom (Trimaster/QXC instead of BlinG/SeleCT) and still took 4 maps, maybe Axiom would have lost top Col-Dig, if Col-Dig would have fielded their LU, which they used against mouz. Not likely, but certainly possible. Sure, players can't always attend every clan war, but blaming mouz for not having to face two players, even if things might have gone different if Inno had played, is not neccessary, as this is a situation, every team had working for or against them in some league at some point. Before complaining about that, I'd rather call Mill lucky for getting handed a free-win by EG.
