In a surprise upset, Selective Queuers has overcome team fnatic 3 to 2 in an epic battle for the lower bracket finals. While may had estimated that fnatic would take this match up with ease, the opposite turned out to be true. It may have even been a surprise that Selective Queuers was able to hold they're ground and bring it to a match point of 2 – 2, but they have come here to do what they intended to do, and that is prove that they're the best team in North America. Now they move onto the Grand Finals where they will face a mirror match against Nihilum Plasma, and eventually decide not only if they're the best in North America, but the best in the world.

The overall tone of the matches was set very early on where the pressure was going to be put on the opposing teams Druids. From fnatic's point of view, Hafu was getting trained on very early, and just like her earlier series versus Nihilum, she fell far behind in the healing and was playing “catch up.” In a mirror match, it's far too dangerous to allow that to happen. When the pressure was exerted on the Druid, he (or she) is forced to shift focus from their teammates to themselves. This created an opening to focus and burst down the Warrior, which was almost always the first death in this series.



However, this was a great display of the skill of the Warriors abilities to genuinely sit on and follow through a target. Putting pressure on the Druid was obviously the key in these matches, for both teams, and Selective Queuers definitely seemed to have the upper hand. Hafu did catch a few decent Cyclones but in the end it was no match for the LoS'ing ability of all members of Selective Queuers.

By the end, it was very apparently that fnatic was having a few difficulties with their commuication as far as keeping Hafu away from danger. Seletive Queuers were a very offensive team in all of their matches, which meant that Wojo was definitely putting out the Cyclones where the needed to be.



There is no doubt that both teams played extremely well and deserved t be here. In the end, however, Selective Queuers pulled something out of their sleeves and are looking to take the championship from Nihilum Plasma. The difficulty for SQ will remain with the fact that they have to beat Nihilum twice, not once, to actually take the first place spot.
