GotFrag.com - As I wiped off the single tear running down my cheek after seeing handsome Byron "Reckful" Bernstein lose, I'm gearing up to see SK.EU taking on more Americans.

The next team they'll meet will be Team EG and I'm performing my "summon-an-awesome-match" dance.

As for Shadow Cleave against RLS, as we just saw between fnatic and BHMS, it's a rather balanced setup that can go on for a good period of time. That said, I expect SK.EU to win it with a comfortable score of 4-1 or maybe even 5-0. SK.EU is on fire, there is no doubt about that. The feeling of the match-up overall is very similar to a TBC game -- less fast paced, more crowd control. I'm afraid for EG that this is where Inflame shines even more.

Predicitons:

Zyz: 5-0
Spoh: 4-1
Trig: "5-0 for my boy Inflame"
Kalimist: 4-1

Shortly after we will see SK.EU vs Button Bashers. Some European fanboys might argue that this is the only real challenge, seeing how BB is the only non-American contender at the tournament. Silly him. SK.EU showed their strength against RMP when they thrashed Complexity and it remains to be seen if Button Bashers have the answer to Shadow Cleave. If we remember TBC, Korean RMPs have always had a hard time against Druid/Warlock/X comps due to there being a serious lack of those in Korea where the chances of getting some decent teams to train against are rather slim.

The biggest test in my humble, most definitely unbiased, opinion for SK.EU will be Check Six, as on paper Check Six plays the strongest line up against Shadow Cleave. However, Inflame was still confident about it when I talked to him before the tournament. I expect Check Six to switch to the Priest version of their comp as it's simply so much stronger with double disease cleanse against a DK.

Will SK.EU continue with their crusade and conquer North America by storm, or will Check Six put a stop to this? Stay tuned.
