The second day of SLTV StarSeries XIII LAN finals started in the same fashion as the opening one as we saw the first upset being made already in the first game of the day. Team EnVyUs didn't really have a great opening at this tournament as they lost to Gplay in their initial match. Today, they had a chance to repair damage that was done and to get themselves up in the standings. However, FlipSid3 managed to shock them with another upset as they managed to beat nV 16-14. Later on, FlipSid3 continued in the same fashion scoring two more wins and finishing at the first place of the group stage.
Yesterday, we saw Gplay being one of the best teams, but today the Bulgarian team had a tough day. First, they lost to FlipSid3 which pushed them down and almost left without the playoffs spot. However, with a great performance against Gamers2, in a direct match for the qualification, Gplay took a victory and a third place at the standings.
The closing match of the day and also of the group stage was a duel between the two favourites, Natus Vincere and Team EnVyUs. Both the teams were already through and the match was played only for the seeding purposes. The Ukranian side started off really well taking an early lead. However, in the late game we saw nV making a comeback and taking the 16-13 win. This match summed up the whole standings and now we can see nV on the second place, while Na'Vi is finishing as the fourth.
The top four teams will now move on to the playoffs which are scheduled for tomorrow. The final day of the tournament will firstly see a two semi final matches which will be followed by the grand finals. In the opening match of the day the two Ukranian teams will face each other. Both, FlipSid3 and Na'Vi are looking great so far and it will be hard to predict who will come out on the top of this one, so make sure to tune in for it at 11.00 CEST. The second semi final match will see the most pleasant surprise of this tournament, Gplay taking on the title defenders, EnVyUs. This match will follow the first one and is expected to start at 14.30 CEST. Finally, the grand finals will commence on 18.00 CEST and will feature a best-of-five seires.
