A mere 24 hours have passed since we saw stage 1, the first round and the first players have been knocked down into the challenger group stage. A few though have progressed forward in the brackets, their aim to reach the premier division!

Today’s matches will once again start at 18:00 CEST and will be cast by myself (@MadalsSC2) and Nathanias (@ROOTNathanias).

Unfortunately, with only 18 hours between finishing casting and beginning once more I have had less time than I would have wanted to do the game preview I did for yesterdays matches. But still, I am multi-tasking on eating lunch and writing this, but do forgive me if it is slightly shorter.

*NOTE - these are probably the games we are casting, stream schedule isn’t 100% confirmed yet*





beastyqt vs. shuttle

MC vs Grubby

Dayshi vs. HasuObs

Ret vs Mana

ToD vs sLivko

Now the first game should be REALLY interesting. For those of you watching the stream yesterday you will hopefully remember that shuttle played vs uzer and there was some issues with lag. Hopefully, this will not be repeated tonight and the games are epic to watch - as all good TvT’s should be!

Without doubt the biggest hyped game of the night will be MC vs Grubby. While many are not huge fans of PvP as a match up, there are far more who are massive fans of these two players. On paper, MC would be my faviourite but Grubby has shown us all that he has the drive and support to do incredible things! I have no fear though that this match will get to the front page of /r/starcraft near instantly!

Dayshi vs HasuObs will be another exciting match and the first non-mirror match up of the night. This game is probably the hardest to call for me, but aligulac puts the odds in HasuObs favour with a 53% win chance! Myself, I am expecting a 2-1.

Yesterday we saw Ret play vs Bischu and he looked to be on good form. Mana is also going to facing his worst match up in a PvZ, where as it is Rets best!

Finally, we should be ended with excitment in ToD vs sLivko. From quick glances at the stream chat yesterday ToD has generated a huge following and proved that his play is just as brilliant as his casting. zvP is Slivko’s best match up though, so ToD will be having a tough time to continue to advance!

So those are the games, remember to tune in tonight at 18:00 CEST on WCS_EU2 for the english stream: www.twitch.tv/wcs_europe2
