League of Legends

The dreams of European fans were shattered, when the established and renowned teams from EG and SK Gaming struggled in their matches and couldn't recover from early losses in the groupstage. After going 4-1 last weekend in the LCS Super Week this was unexpected - especially from SK Gaming.

Due to the rather disappointing shapes of SK and EG and a great perfomance another European team rose and made it into the playoffs as the third Polish participants after Nerchio and MaNa qualifying in StarCraft II. Anexis third placed was topped by the aggressive playing Korean teams CJ Entus Frost and SK Telecom T1. Latter advanced directly into the semi finals, while Frost will face Millenium in tomorrow's quarter finals.

Quarter Final #1 08/03/13 03:30 EST - Millenium vs. CJ Entus Frost
Quarter Final #2 08/03/13 06:15 EST - CJ Entus Blaze vs. Anexis eSports
