12. Kow3 11Last Wednesday, the last playday of the regular WC3L XI season was played. In the very last game, the reigning champions 4Kings managed to clinch third place and a spot in the online playoffs. World Elite Asia and MeetYourMakers are already qualified for the offline finals, but 4Kings, SK-Gaming, wNv WarCraft and Team NoA will have to fight for the last two spots.
This season's giants - World Elite Asia, won nine games out of eleven, only losing their last two games. This was probably due to the fact that they decided to use all their Chinese players, who haven't seen much WC3L action during the season, instead of their Korean stars, such as ReMinD and Lyn. Even though WE lost two matches, they still remained on top of the compeitition.
In second place, we find last year's runner-up MeetYourMakers, who only lost to WE this season. With players like Moon and Lucifer, nothing but a top placement was expected. The fourth place went to the Chinese team wNv. Before the qualifiers, the team recruited a strong team and it seems to have payed off well.
Two teams we'll also see in the online playoffs are SK Gaming and Team NoA. After losing their Korean star players, many thought that SK would have a rough season, but their new German players have done well and, with help from experienced players like Insomnia and Deadman, the team performed above expectations.

Even if the regular season is over, it does not mean that the excitement and top notch matches are the same. 4Kings will play against Team NoA in the first playoff match for the season!
