DeViL, the winner of Samsung European Encounter Qualification, is heading to the Grand finale!

The actual qualification tournament started only a few hours after its announcement on Wednesday evening and it was a complete surprise for all the players and gaming community. The qualification took place on Thursday and the invitation was sent only to the players who took part in the LanCraft on the weekend. Top 16 players were invited to the qualification tournament played with the Double Elimination system.

The whole tournament was very exciting and full of surprises. It all started with the first match when Zerg from eSuba academy team  Veriol defeated the number one player  h34D_hUnT3R. Zerg players were quite lucky throughout the whole qualification – five of them got to the quarter finals. But the eSuba players were not very successful. Six of them were defeated in the first or second round and the only one who managed to fight through the tournament was  DeViL. Though it was not easy he managed to defeat  Petros in the quarter finals, and also  Harpner in the semifinals.  TomikuS, who played very well all the weekend, was waiting for him in the final match of the winner’s bracket, but DeViL showed him, who is the best Zerg in the Czech Republic. DeViL:TomikuS 2:0, DeViL became the winner of WB and had to wait for his last opponent from LB in the Qualification Grand Finale.

The qualification tournament was not finished on LanCraft though. Four last matches had to be finished online on Tuesday. It might have all ended differently if it was finished there, but it wasn’t and  DeViL met in the Grand Finale  TomikuS again. DeViL as the winner of WB was leading 1:0 and on the first map managed to get the lead 2:0. Only one map lied between him and the final tournament in Germany and it was all decided on the Daybreak map. TomikuS finished a quick Lair, but DeViL didn’t wait for anything. He completely destroyed the whole defense on TomikuSes third base. The player form eXtatus tried to stop him with mutalisks, but his economy got low and he managed to get out only five of them which were not enough. DeViL didn’t rush the end of the game and the last attack brought him to the victory.

 DeViL is the winner of our Samsung European Encounter qualification and he will go to Gamescom on August 17 in Germany.
