While one elimination game was the Mongolian derby, it was the Russian derby on the other side as THE faced -72c. -72c started their opponents' pick of Anubis with a big 10 round T half before THE fought back on their T side. It looked like we were heading to overtime before youka and forzetsky helped -72c get over the line at 13-10. On Dust2, it was a more comfortable win for -72c as they put up a strong defensive hold to lock in a 13-9 win to pick up the series 2-0.
Following the completion of the lower bracket semi-finals, it will be ATOX taking on -72c in the lower bracket final later on today. IHC and THE meanwhile have been sent home following their losses as their RMR hopes end in the lower bracket.
