IPL6 International Regional #2

The second International Regional qualifier will stream its final four players and their matches on IPL. From the stacked 172 participant bracket, we’re down to the best of the best (or lucky) last four remaining combatants. Once again, this qualifier has the same qualifications as the previous ones: first and second get a seed into IPL6 with first-place receiving the free ride and hotel.

Semi-final #1

IM.Seed v. AZUBU.San

The first semi-final will be a mirror Protoss match between two of South Korea’s top players. From Incredible Miracle, Seed, will be the player to watch. He’s intelligent and employs unorthodox and creative strategies to win matches, especially in a PvP. San has shown some impressive team and qualifier success, but still suffers from lackadaisical play at times. He will need to tighten up to beat Seed. He did, however, brave a strong field to get to the semi-finals with wins over Son, Ryze, and MarineKing.

Semi-final #2

ST.Hack v. MVP.DRG

DongRaeGu has too many names with his achievements: successful, carrier, or one of the best. He’s achieved a lot for team MVP and his prize money is an indicator of that. Team StarTale’s Hack has started to receive some shine from the World Championship League and the ESV, but his resume lacks a bit compared to his opponent. This Zerg v. Terran matchup will be one of the highlights for the entire qualifier. It could be a bloodbath or an even chess match.
