Russian squad HOTU went up against Mongolian team The QUBE and HOTU were in red hot form as they ran through their opponents. It was a near flawless performance to get the series going as Mirage was a non-starter for The QUBE on their own map pick. One T round was all they managed as HOTU went 13-1 to kick things off in style. Ancient was a similar story with the Mongolian team managing just two more rounds than they got on Ancient as a one sided series ended with a 13-3 win for HOTU.
HOTU and NomadS are the final two teams to make the upper bracket quarter-finals of Stage 2. The other teams in the quarter-finals are Chinggis Warriors, UR, ex-TALON, SemperFi, FengaDa and IHC.
