20:41 CET - Kas came out of the gate with something up his sleeve for Naama. The game opened fairly normal but Kas had early pressure in mind. With a mix of Marines and Mauraders the game was over for Naama as Kas crushed his early game forces with ease. It's a tough loss for the Fnatic boys but the tournament itself was well fought. Zanster and Pink showed a lot of promise for the future and the team looked to play a lot better individually. 

20:30 CET - We used our wild card to revive Harstem to attempt to knock off Kas on Antiga Shipyard. The plan didn't go so well. Harstem went for a quick Warp Prism drop into the main base of Kas to catch his units on the outside and kill the inner base of Kas. Harstem did as much damage as he could but the micro and positioning of Kas was superb in game 4. It's clear that Kas is on his game tonight as he has managed to take out 2 of our players and win 3 games in a row. The next player for Fnatic has the tournament riding on their shoulders. The next match is a must win for the boys and it's coming up right now!

20:12 CET - Zanster was the next player to step out for Fnatic and he got off to a great start! He stayed calm against Kas and defended the initial Banshee pressure fairly well. Once he got up to three bases he began pumping out units while keeping his economy solid. He went for an old school Mutalisk, Zergling, Baneling composition which seemed to give him the upper hand against the spread out army of Kas. The mobility of his army gave Zanster the ability to pick and choose any fight he wanted. However as time went on the army of Kas grew resistant to the units of Zanster and he soon became a problem. The strong bio/mech composition allowed Kas to freely expand without fear of many counter attacks, at least ones he couldn't handle with the forces he left behind. Kas began to move out in chunks which smothered Zanster and forced him out of his comfort zone and into taking fights he didn't want to fight. This began to slide the lead into Kas's hands and he didn't let go. Empire now lead with a cool 2 games to 1 in the series. The fourth map will be played on Antiga Shipyard and we will have Harstem coming back to life for the team to face off against Kas once again.

19:45 CET - Game two got off to a quick start with Harstem taking on Kas. Cloud Kingdom is a fairly easy map to defend on so Harstem opted to open extremely greedy with a quick third base with little to no unit support. Luckily Kas didn't attack with his early bio or the game might have ended a lot quicker than it did. Kas was extremely passive in the early/mid game allowing both sides to sit back and Macro. Harstem was allowed to tech away freely to what ever he choose to do and Kas was able to sit back and respond. Both players worked their way out towards the middle of the map constantly keeping checks on each others army and waiting to get the perfect engagement. Despite both players trading rather well it was Harstem who slipped up and tried to attack into Kas who was at the top of the ramp. The high ground advantage gave Kas a couple of extra volleys which was the deciding factor in the game as he then went on to steam roll Harstem's army.The score is currently 1:1, Kas will stay on for game 3 for Empire. 

19:25 CET - Harstem came out strong and prepared for anything and everything Happy could throw at him. Both players went into the mid game without much trouble enabling them to get the upgrades and army composition of their choice. Once each player was maxed it slowly became a battle of positioning which Harstem had the upper hand in each and every time. The army of Happy was slowly killed off and base after base was being taken out. Harstem sat on 4 bases and continued to increase his army and play smart which lead to a victory in game 1. Fnatic take the lead 1:0 with game number 2 coming up right away!

19:05 CET - Up first we have Harstem taking on Happy on Ohana. Both players are very confident in their respective match ups and it's bound to be an insanely high level match.

19:00 CET - Tonight the boys go head to head against Team Empire for a spot in the Semi-Finals of the Cascade Team League. A best of 7 series will decide who goes on and who goes out. Tune in as the boys attempt to find their stride and progress deeper into this event!
