Day 3 of IEM is now finished and the excitement after the amazing quarter finals is taking a small rest as it will reignite tomorrow as the four best players in Cologne will fight tooth and nail for a shot at the gold.

Words alone cannot fully describe the atmosphere at Gamescom but our crew was there with big shiny cameras to capture all the fuss.

Turning our gaze back to games we saw the Koreans exerting complete dominance. MC and Puma both walked out with one-sided 3-0's against SeleCT and Nerchio, respectively. The two started from the opposite sides of the bracket but there is now strong chance for a NASL revenge match at the end of IEM.

Mana and Socke are the ones defending the honour of European protosses. The Polish hero is on a hot tournament streak, hitting a second top 4 in the last month. Socke too will be aiming to get a major gold in addition to his solid recent performance but will have to go through Puma first.

Finally, IEM are still stretching their helping hand towards the community and continue to update their replay page.

Spoiler-free replays

The semi-finals are scheduled for tomorrow at 11:55 and 13:00 CET. The places of interest will once again be ESL.tv and our coverage hub.
