The second to last show of the round of 32 before players will travel to ESL TV's studio to determine the first season champion of 2014. With MVP, the previous year's winner is the toughest nut to crack in this group. The Season 1 Championship in 2013 was his last major title as he tripped over Europeans in the following seasons including today's opponent HasuObs.
The German old-schooler has to face the sixth debutant in this Premier League season, Snute. Despite HasuObs' success in WCS last year, the Zerg from Norway is an unpleasant surprise, since HasuObs lost every single one of the three previous encounters both players had.
