JP takes a look back at the matches that finished out the Round Robin stage.


GotFrag.com - The last set of matches for the round robin stage were a mix of inconsequential games and must-win situatios

JP McDaniel takes a quick look at the action that took place on the second day of play at MLG Columbus!







Round Robin Match Fourteen

Teams: Fnatic vs. eMg
Final Score: 3-0 eMg wins

Scoreboard1H2HOTF
eMazing Gaming3--3
Fnatic----
Fnatic: Yog, Glick, Hafu

eMazing Gaming: Twixz, Payce, Flexxorz
Fnatic Ruins of Lordaeran eMg
Fnatic Dalaran Sewers eMg
Fnatic Blades Edge Arena eMg


Impressions: Fnatic vs. eMg started Sunday morning off but it wasn't as exciting as you would expect. The games went pretty fast and Glickz was the main target in eMg's scope each game. They would rarely swap to Yog (Rogue), tunneling on Yog (Warlock). It worked though and they won three quick games on Lordaeron, Sewers, and Blade's Edge giving Fnatic another loss with one game left against Ensidia for the tournament.

Round Robin Match Fifteen

Teams: EG vs. coL
Final Score: 3-1 coL wins

Scoreboard1H2HOTF
Complexity3--3
Evil Geniuses1--1
Evil Geniuses: Azael, Kollektiv, Zyz

Complexity: Happyminty, Sodah, Venruki
EG Nagrand Arena coL
EG Ruins of Lordaeran coL
EG Blades Edge Arena coL
EG Blades Edge Arena coL


Impressions: EG (RLS) has had a rough tournament thus far and this match was no different. Things looked good however in the first match when zyZ landed a sap on Happiminti, failed on the opener burst due to Pain Suppression, and then killed Happiminti after. The second map was going alright for EG but the priest of Complexity Sodah fell through the world and it had to be replayed on Lordaeron. In the replay Azael of Team EG was trained all game and eventually died. The next two maps zyZ died both games after being swapped too and died. EG leaves the tournament with a 3-1 loss to coL.

Round Robin Match Sixteen

Teams: Ensidia vs. Fnatic
Final Score: 3-0 Ensidia wins

Scoreboard1H2HOTF
Ensidia3--3
Fnatic----
Ensidia: Hydra, Redhot, Kalimist

Pandemic: Ohnoes, Beast, Sinaniganz, Kintt
Ensidia Ruins of Lordaeran Fnatic
Ensidia Nagrand Arena Fnatic
Ensidia Ruins of Lordaeran Fnatic


Impressions: Ensidia's first match of the day was against the 1-5 Fnatic and the Europeans would give them their sixth loss. In the first match Yog was taken out and bursted due to CC chains, Nagrand Hafu was sapped and then they blew up Yog extremely fast. In the third and final match Yog extended himself from the team and dies.

Round Robin Match Seventeen

Teams: SK vs. Ensidia
Final Score: 3-1 SK wins

Scoreboard1H2HOTF
SK Gaming3--3
Ensidia1--1
Ensidia: Hydra, Redhot, Kalimist

SK Gaming: Enforcer, Pookz, Realz
Ensidia Dalaran Sewers SK
Ensidia Ruins of Lordaeran SK
Ensidia Blades Edge Arena SK
Ensidia Blades Edge Arena SK


Impressions: SK vs. Ensidia is a match that many could say was the highlight of Sunday morning. In a USA vs. European RMP match, the first map would be played on Dalaran Sewers. SK quickly opened on Hydra and then swapped to Kalamist shortly after due to a blind on Hydra with no trinket. In the second match on Lordaeron Hydra was focused again all game and SK ended up killing him when he received no successful peals. The third match Ensidia pulled out a win after some impressive kiting by Hydra and Kala / RedKoala taking out Enforcer in the meantime. The fourth and final match SK took easily after opening again on Hydra. After the match Realz shouted "WELCOME TO AMERICA!" and it should be quite the line in conversations for awhile.

Round Robin Match Eighteen

Teams: Complexity vs. Pandemic
Final Score: 3-1 coL wins

Scoreboard1H2HOTF
Complexity3--3
Pandemic1--1
Pandemic: Ohnoes, Beast, Sinaniganz, Kintt

Complexity: Happyminty, Sodah, Venruki
Pandemic Ruins of Lordaeran coL
Pandemic Blades Edge Arena coL
Pandemic Blades Edge Arena coL
Pandemic Ruins of Lordaeran coL


Complexity earned a spot in the final four after defeating Pandemic's cleave team but from the first match you wouldn't think it would be so easy for Complexity. In the first game on Lordaeron, Beast (the Death Knight of Pandemic) was opened on but had enough Runic Power to Icebound Fortitude and then simply trained Sodah (the Priest) until he was dead. The next three games however Complexity continued to open on Beast but in the second match he would die, and the third and fourth games Ohnoes was quickly swapped to after the opener on beast to seal Pandemic's fate.
