Game One saw a horrible start for QsQ357, who got absolutely obliterated in two of the three lanes. The top lane was ruled by Limmp with some support from Mynuts out of the jungle, who got Bloodlust and also the follow-up kill against sQy. That kill on sQy spelled troubling times for Pollywog in the middle, who got picked off several times against a pretty aggressive Glacius/Dark Lady lineup. The only bright spot for the young European team was NoX, who basically had free farm on the bottom lane, which didn't really mattered in the end due to Demented Shaman and Dark Lady having the early game they had and the incredible tower pushing that tdM showed in the early portion of the game. QsQ357 tried to make something happen and they actually found some nice angles and engagements, but in the end the lead was just way too big. Trademark eSports went for the uncontested Kongor kill and then moved on to destroying the middle lane and top lane in it's entirety - forcing the concede vote to occur.

To avenge the beatdown in Game One, QsQ357 turned to a very risky and innovative Lineup featuring Arachna and Voodoo Jester as important pieces of the puzzle. In the early game those pieces proved to be pretty effective with Arachna - and her Energizer picked up - went to work in the ganking department, followed by heroes like Bubbles, Voodoo Jester or Behemoth helping those ganks to succeed. In the meantime Forsaken Archer utilized the distraction to farm and later on take over the game, that was the theory at least. On the server it worked out a little bit differently, with the "Gank Squad" moving around quite effectively, attempting to shut down Draconis, but the farm of Forsaken Archer did not really take off and Arachna remained the top farmer in the game.
Then the time of the big bad Dragon dawned as Limmp got more and more farm on his Draconis, while his team with Pollywog Priest, Flux, Ophelia and Engineer ganked and counter-ganked on every opportunity. Pretty much every kill, resulted in a re-kill, which lead to the kill count being 15-15 after 30 minutes of action. At that mark Arachna and Draconis had the highest GPM in the game, with Forsaken Archer playing catch-up to that farm. As FA was farming the jungle mmbzai initiated on Malle, getting the kill and as QsQ357 was chasing the youngster from tdM, they actually punished the chasing getting two kills without any re-kills whatsoever. That numbers advantage triggered a push and after two more easy pick offs the Baracks and the entire team of QsQ357 got shattered. Within minutes tdM turned a even matchup into a bloodbath and took over the game by storm - advancing to the Upper Bracket Semifinals.
