The second day of the StarLadder VII LAN finals kicked off today. Following the second match of the first round, the upper bracket final was played, where [b] ua Na'Vi[/b] faced the two time defending champion, [b] se Alliance[/b]. The third day of the LAN finals will kick off tomorrow, at 15:00 CEST.


Alliance were the team that had a chance of picking their own opponent, after they ended up on the first place in the online stage of the tournament. Picking RoX.KIS as their first opponent for the LAN finals ultimately was the right decision, as Alliance managed to win over RoX.KIS with a clear 2-0 victory.

Following their clear win over RoX.KIS, Alliance went in the upper bracket final against Na'Vi. Alliance entered the series with a slightly unorthodox draft, picking up Zeus for se Gustav 's4' Magnusson on the middle lane. However, Na'Vi didn't fail under the unorthodox line up and they won the first game of the series with a fast 21minute GG.

Entering the second game of the match up, Alliance were one game behind, what made their draft much more solid, rather then the first game. They picked yet another rare hero in the competitive scene, dubbed Riki. With some really good plays coming out from se Jonathan 'Loda' Berg, Na'Vi fell under the pressure of the aggressive gameplay from Alliance, which made the match up 1-1.

Despite of being one game behind from the actual start of the match up, Alliance managed to comeback from that and ultimately win the series after a strong performance in the final game where Na'Vi tapped out a 20minute GG. The complete lower bracket will be played tomorrow, starting at 15:00 CEST, where we will see RoX.KIS playing against Team Empire in the first round of the bracket.
