Follow all of eHL and the best of SEA Hearthstone with our coverage hub So far the eHL playoffs kept what they promised with plenty of close matches, great decks and duels going down to the last card, the lowest of health points, and the narrowest margins of error. The shining star so far is lemniscate from the Philipinnes, being the first to go through to the Upper Bracket Finals. It might be way too early to already talk about the "Match of the Playoffs" for eHL's first cycle, but lemniscate and Allura sure went to town on each other. The Filipino lemniscate brought his [card]Grommash Hellscream[/card] and Allura tried to counter with his stable [card]The Black Knight[/card] - in the end lemniscate was more the hero eHL deserved and so the winner of Group H moved on. Originally the Philippine hope was also set to face Singaporean player Derikku on the first day of the playoffs, but both matches went the distance and so a delay and postponement was in order. Did the postponement and breathing room made the matches drop off in epicness? By no means. So far only five have been played and four of them went through all five matches with narrow victories and tight series all across the board. Still, the dominance or perseverance of lemniscate carried over to Day 2 and the Filipino shut down the second Singaporean in a row. This time his beloved control Warrior deck wasn't quite working out against Derikku jumping out to a quick 2-0 start with his Hunter deck. That wasn't all to his credit though, as lemniscate made a giant mental error as Druid with the [card]Savage Roar[/card]/[card]Force of Nature[/card] combination locked and loaded, but casting it before triggering the Hunter's trap which turned out to be [card]Explosive Trap[/card]. His newly summoned forest got burned down to the ground and the game swung the other way. Still his spirit was unbroken and he rallied back, swinging for the fences with his Doomhammer, taking the series literally by "storm" and getting entry into the Upper Bracket Finals. Who he will be facing there is still up for grabs, as Crea and iMpunity's own Trinity are fighting for that honor tomorrow. Leading up to that clash Trinity had the easiest of the roads, demolishing and breaking Bojangy. The Singaporean king of budget decks forfeited out of the tournament after that, granting ManaSurge's own Wensushi a free ticket to the second round of the Lower Bracket. Not so lucky are Allura and Yamafuda, who are going to put their tournament lives on the line tomorrow in the first ever elimination playoff match of eHL's history.
