HSL Quarterfinals will start at 11:00am CET.

The “Disconnect”

Before the preview today, let’s talk a bit about the “Disconnect” yesterday.

In fact, the referee went to Moon and Elegant and apologized to them after the game. Then, Moon replied he felt accident that the referee didn’t pause the game. However, after reconnected to the game, Moon found that his army didn’t get damaged, so he didn’t ask for re-game or type “pp” by the time, it’s his problem.

(There is a bug in the game, you are not able to pause game after reconnect to the game.)

After that, Moon also said, he respect to the result, and he felt it’s unnecessary to have a re-game. Therefore, as the result in the end, Elegant defeated Moon and advanced to the Quarterfinals.

Quarterfinals will start at 1100 CET today.

So, here are the match-ups in the Quarterfinals: FoCuS vs. ReMinD, Infi vs. Yumiko, Happy vs. 120 and Elegant vs. SoK.

The most interesting highlight should be Infi vs. Yumiko. As many Chinese audiences know, Infi and Yumiko are having very bad relationship, we believe there will be some sparks in the game.

And, we are going to see an Undead Mirror: Happy vs. 120. Will 120 show Dread Lord against Happy again? Will 120 beat Happy for the revenge in this time? Let’s see.
