Favorites advance to DreamHack Open Leipzig Closed Qualifier
The second day of the DreamHack Open Leipzig qualifier has come to an end, seeing Gen.G, Chaos, Triumph, and INTZ through to tomorrow's Closed Qualifier.
The day commenced with Swole Patrol facing INTZ in the remaining Round 4 match from yesterday, and it did not go the way of the North Americans as Bruno "shz" Martinelli and co. pummeled them to the tune of 16-5.
The first two quarterfinals were over in a flash, as neither Chaos nor Triumph allowed their opposition to reach double digits.

Gen.G also took a 2-0 series victory over Divine, but David "Sneaky" Polster and Rahul "curry" Nemani made them work for it, bringing Damian "daps" Steele and co. to overtime on Mirage before succumbing. Vertigo was a more straightforward affair, with Gen.G taking the map 16-9.

The final series of the qualifier saw Roy "Strong Legs" Ahad's Russian Street Party taking on INTZ. The Main team continued to surprise by securing their own pick of Inferno 16-12, with Austin "AJaxz" Janocha leading the way.
Unfortunately this was the end of RSP's Cinderella story, as the Brazilian team decisively took the next two maps to win the series and advance.
