Team Liquid 0:2 (monkey) Business –: The first game of the serious was quite surprising, as Johan “BigDaddy” Sundstein’s flawless Meepo and Amer “Miracle-“ al-Barqawi’s incredible Ember Spirit destroyed Team Liquid in only 22 minutes. The second game featured some great plays by BigDaddy and Miracle- yet again, as well as MB’s polished team coordination and synergy.

Alliance 0:2 NiP – In the first game of the series, NiP had a slight lead in the beginning, but the game was still relatively even until after the laning phase, when Alliance started to push ahead. NiP had a better lineup for the late game and they managed to take the first win.
In the second game, NiP drew the first blood and both teams traded kills early on. By 15 minutes into the game, NiP had started to pull ahead, as their Alchemist grabbed a 14-minute radiance. Both teams were breaking high ground at minute 19, but it would take NiP 46 minutes to claim the victory. A fantastic game for both Adrian “Era” Kryeziu on Alchemist and Linus“Limmp” Blomdin on Shadow Fiend.

Team Liquid 1:2 Alliance – In the first game of the series, Team Liquid had a hard time dealing with Alliance’s Naga pick. After a bad fight for Team Liquid on the mid lane, their fate was sealed and Alliance cruised towards victory.
The second game was a stark contrast to the first one and Team Liquid tied up the series. Adrian “FATA-“ Trinks had a very easy game on Razor against Alliance’s uncommon Tide Hunter. Ivan “MinD_ContRoL” Borislavov had a perfect game on Undying and Team Liquid took the win in 31 minutes.
The last, deciding game lasted for 70 spectacular minutes. Alliance emerged as victors, despite a few various times when it looked like it could have been Liquid’s game. Henrik “AdmiralBulldog” Ahnberg’s constant push and pressure prevailed in the end. Alliance managed to split push, outfight and outlast Team Liquid, eliminating one of the qualifiers’ favorites.
