Hot on the heels of his third place finish at WCG 2006, Mykhaylo "SK.HoT" Novopashyn came home and put Serious Gaming in their place. Single handedly Novopashyn sent the Dutch based team running for the hills. This solid victory gives SK a little buffer and makes up some of the ground they lost in their close win over Mousesports.

The two other exciting match ups this week feature both divisions of World Elite. Their European (Bulgarian) squad takes on Mousesports who has looked impressive of late. With their addition of the Russian Orc player Rob to the core of JuSt, WE.eu could pull an upset here especially considering the King of the Hill format NGL uses.

The Chinese division of World Elite take on the Koreans in Go. While normally WE would hands down be pegged to win this match up, but the roster shakeup WE underwent recently and Sky’s decision to miss CEG Chengdu to relax could factor into a Go upset. The Koreans in Go have been hit or miss ever since they cut loose Dollar and TeRRoR. Some matches they dominate teams of supposed higher skill and then blow it versus inferior squads. With the King of the Hill factoring in here, money is on Go to pull the upset.
