Key matches to analyze from SC2 Casters Civil War Playoffs

The Starcraft 2 scene is still up and kicking this year and the CCW tournament that ran from April 8^th until April 24^th was quite a blast. If you are already not familiar with the tournament format, it is a bit different from the serious events where players compete for league points. Instead, the teams in the tournament are drafted by eight professional Starcraft 2 commentators: Peru, CatZ, RotterdaM, DeMusliM, Nathanias, Wardi, ZombieGrub, PiG and Feardragon.

While this is a for-fun event, players are were clearly tryharding to win it all, and there was some good VODs to review and take into considering for Starcraft betting, before DH SC2 Masters Valencia rolls around.

Casters Civil War Playoffs and noteworthy matches

Instead of just randomizing a pick order to draft their team, the commentators played a free for all game, and the pick order was determined exactly as we listed the commentators. The rewards are nothing too big compared to bigger tournaments, but they are no joke either. Players got prizes based on their placement(number of victories) in the group stages, as well as their placement in the Playoffs.

Once the group stage was complete six teams moved on to the Playoffs:

RotterdaM Admirals – Reynor, MaxPax, TIME, Harstem, Kelazhur
War Pigs – Clem, Cure, Elazer, Dream, Nice
Stasis Wardis – Byun, Solar, Classic, Creator, Spirit
The Grubalubadubdubs – uThermal, HeRoMaRinE, ShoWTimE, Skillous, RRattata
GOAT & The Gang – Serral, Bunny, Lambo, Armani, DnS
Team Special Tactics – Rogue, Gumiho, hero, SpeCial, Keen

In the quarter-finals, we had Rotterdam Admirals winning the first round against War Pigs with the match score of 3:1, as well as Stasis Wardis prevailing over The Grubalubadubdubs with the match score of 3:0. Semi-finals already had two teams who did best in the group stages. GOAT & The Gang had a close victory over RotterdaM Admirals with the finals score being 3:2, and Stasis Wardis continued their push to the finals against Team Special Tactics with a 3:1 score.

Finally, we had quite an interesting series in the finals as well. The games went back and for between the teams, but the final score was 3:2 in favor of Stasis Wardis.
