Soin defeated Lawliet and become an unexpected winner

In the upper half, Soin won over WhO, and scrambled the first ticket with Lawliet, he played well when he was facing their leader in the Dream Group OF FOUR [1], played with his style in two round, especially on LR, played with three Demolishers and Serpent Wards, and Lawliet had not solution for this, and Soin won with 2-0, become the first player who able to play on main tournament in the Korea Qualifier.

FoCuS turn over and qualified, but WhO 

In the bottom half, Lucifer played with FoCuS after he defeated Chaemiko, in the history, FoCuS has the better result against Lucifer. However, in the first round on AZ, Lucifer and FoCuS were having a classical game, in the 50 vs 50 supply fight, Lucifer micro his unit in time extremely, demolished the expansion twice after the fight with his prefect micro, both of them were playing very exciting big fight, but FoCuS typed out GG in this round.

However, FoCuS didn't give up for the games, and he were playing better and better, won two rounds in a row, defeated Lucifer with 2-0 and get the second ticket to Guang Zhou.

In the lower bracket, we could say the battles were more exciting, Lucifer played with WhO, who just came back to Warcraft III, WhO is playing like Grubby, plays with Raider Base Running always, and Lucifer got a lot of experience for this when he was playing against Infi's Orc, and didn't make a mistake, and WhO was defeated and leave this tournament with 0-2, meanwhile, Lawliet won Chamiko, and scrambled the last ticket to Guang Zhou with Lucifer.

Lawliet played better and Lucifer failed on the eve of success

This was the last chance, the winner would get the chance after he won the opponent, both of them did everything they could for this chance. In the first round, Lucifer saw Lawliet used Warden as first hero, so he used the tactic that he very good at, double BC, but this was the trap of  Lawliet, he built two BR at this base, Lucifer ran away after he felt the situation was bad to him, but his DK was killed when he was escaping and the Ghouls lost their leader, Lucifer bought DK from the Tavern and fight back immediately, but Lawliet used Panda and Breath Fire on the Ghouls, Lucifer typed out GG after a big loss.

In the second round on AI, Lawliet still used Warden for his second win, but Lucifer found a way to figure out, although Warden was level 6 in the game, NE's army was dying slowly under the attack of UD, and UD army assembled by Abominations and Obsidian Statues, Warden was powerless when against these units, Lucifer won a round back.

The final round came to AZ, Lawliet chose to play steady, and Lucifer chose to play with radical, he used Naga as second hero but he didn't had big advantage with this, after that, he had been creep jack by Lawliet twice and become so weak, moreover, Lucifer chose to creep the 9-6-6(Level of Creeps), the red camp without TP, and Lawliet creep jack again and end the game at the red camp.





Remark:
Audiences in China call them as Dream Group of Four(夢想四人組), the members are Lawliet, Soin, Chaemiko, Sok, they are living and practicing Warcraft together, so the audiences call them as Dream Group of Four.
