Once again the Koreans proved superior as  yfw.San and mYi.StarDust dominated Group D to advance to the Round of 8 of WCS Europe.
San actually opened up the group by dropping his first match on King Sejong Station against Nerchio, mostly due to missing Nerchio's proxy-spire even though his oracle had spotted the surrounding creep. However, San managed to recover and beat Nerchio 2-1 to get to the winner's match. There he looked solid with a 2-0 victory over StarDust securing himself first place in the group and a spot in the quarter finals.
StarDust may have lost to San, but he did not drop a map against the rest of the group as he defeated LiveZerg twice by 2-0 scores to advance in second place. StarDust simply looked one step ahead of his Zerg opponent at all times, even building three stargates to counter a spire he had not even scouted yet in game 2 of their first set on Alterzim. Both advancing players will no doubt be practicing their PvP as San has drawn MC and StarDust has drawn First in the Ro8.
Unfortunately for our foreign hopes,  Acer.Nerchio failed to leave much of an impression on the group as he fell out in last place. He managed to beat San in their opening match with clever mutalisk play, but it was all downhill from there as he would lose the next two games to San and get 2-1'd by LiveZerg to fall out of the tournament. LiveZerg managed to earn himself a rematch with StarDust after beating Nerchio in the loser's match, but fared no better the second time around and lost 0-2. Both players are eliminated, but they have secured themselves Premier League spots in WCS Season 3.
We're now all set for WCS EU's knockout stages, where an all EU Final still looks like a possibility with VortiX and Welmu on opposite sides of the bracket. Last season's champion MC will continue his title defense when WCS EU Finals weekend begins on Saturday, Jul 05 4:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00).

The dates are tentative. The WCS Schedule from Blizzard is busted, but they have it on the weekend right before TeSL playoffs, so I assume it's July 5/6

I've got San beating ForGG in the final. Probably 4-2
|
San 3-1 MC
Golden 3-2 Vortix
Welmu 3-2 ForGG
First 3-1 Stardust
San 3-1 Golden
First 3-0 Welmu
San 4-2 First
|
If San win vs MC and Welmu win vs ForGG, then San win WCS
If MC win vs San then First will win WCS.
only 2 i can think of
|
Hmmm I can actually see welmu going all the way to the finals.
The foreign hope lives!
|
San looks like a clear favorite to me. Which means MC will probably beat him.
|
ForGG will win this season
|
Good brackets tbh. I actually think Welmu has a shot at getting to the finals if he gets pass ForGG.
