Arthur and HyuN advance from Group E
For the third straight match day in a row, WCS America's Challenger League featured just three players in a group. While retirements had caused Sound and theognis to drop out of the previous two groups, Group E's culprit was viOLet and his well-known US visa issues. That left Arthur, HyuN, and State to fight it out for the two spots into the Premier division.
In a surprise result, ROOT.State managed to give Quantic.HyuN even more grief in his recent worst match-up of ZvP, defeating him 2 - 0 in their initial match.
Unfortunate, he wasn't able to take advantage of that early opportunity, as he would lose to Arthur (who received the bye against viOLet) in the winners match. That left State and HyuN to face off again in a rematch for the final Premier League spot. While State was impressive once more in the rematch, he was forced to tap out at the end of a long game on Akilon Wastes and surrender the Premier League ticket to HyuN.
