Bly wins WCS Ukraine

WCS Ukraine

Acer | Bly has won the World Championship Series Ukraine event held yesterday, earning himself 2,000 USD and a paid trip to the European Final for his efforts.  The Ukraine is famed for its strength as an SC2 nation, both in terms of star power names and the depth of its scene.  While Dreamhack Summer runnerup DIMAGA was not in attendance the other big names of Ukrainian SC2 were all out and Bly took nearly all of them down en route to the title.

With wins over fraer, White-Ra and Strelok, Bly really ran the gauntlet in his quest for victory.  The only big name he didn't face was Kas, who was eliminated surprisingly early, in fourth place.  Bly ended up facing White-Ra three times at the event, with two Bo3s against him in the final.  All three of the series the two played ended 2:1, with Bly taking all of them but the first Bo3 of the final.  The WCS European final will take place on September 15th-16th in Sweden.
