STC8 1/4 Finals, who's gonna have a place in the last four?
Acer 
Replica: Even if Acer was favourite, Replica showed up with a trained team, hoping to make the giant fall. Unfortunately, the german team led by an amazing FrostBeule was simply unbeatable, the match was over in 20 minutes, with a helpless and frustrated Swedish team. The final score is really severe as Replica did a good match though with several rounds in 28/27 and 29/26. 7/0 7/0 Acer.
eSuba vs 
RAGE: eSuba decided not to train since 
tween and HakkiJr were at the ESWC and couldn't train for this match. One-way match then, finished in 30 minutes, 7/0 7/1 for RAGE.
Dignitas vs 
Saphire: Saphire is the little one of these quarter-finals, and as its players said:
Frenchy: we are going to suffer here
Snaky: nvm we came here for that ^^
Indeed, with KarjeN doing a new world record on the multilap during the warm-up (-0.06 on the previous WR), the French guys were going to suffer.
First map easily won by Dignitas with a KarjeN on fire, second map same thing until 5/0 for Dignitas, even if the Saphire players were just behind them. Then, KarjeN stopped to be consistent in 54.95 (like a bot), and Saphire took the opportunity to score some rounds, but they eventually lost 7/3 with a close 28/27 in the last round for the British multigaming.
Final score: 5/0 7/3.
RtA vs mX: First big surprise of this STC! Yeepee! RtA is definitely one of the raising team of the year, they managed to overcome the mythiX obstacle, which everyone was seeing in semi-final at least.
Final score: 2/7 7/4 5/2 for RtA.
Comment of Kimi:
"I want to congratulate RtA for their victory because they truly deserve it since they have been really motivated since the beginning of the competition. Sure we were stronger on the paper but in this game skill is not enough, motivation is much more important. Our team is not as motivated as it was a while ago, I think since the last STC.
Last EMS were pretty hard even if we got the second place, we were far from being at 100%. This season we tried to start easy to find the motivation after, but once again, train was not enough, plus several players who don't play, I knew it was going to be complicated.
We did well on the first map but the second one was a disaster whereas we were really trained on it, I think everything went wrong... I have a lot of responsibility on it since I'm not motivated anymore, that's why I'm retiring at the end of this STC, given that I already freed my place as French captain in Nations Cup.
I thank all the players who were in mX and 402 and I hope the team is going to go through this, because there's a lot of good players! gl to RtA against Dignitas :)."
Only one tight match, pity isn't it? But now, in semi-final, everything is possible! RAGE is going to train like hell, like RtA, to prove they are not here to spec their own matches. Acer and Dignitas are warned!

GER vs ESP
Since the results and match comments were deleted from the STC website, we just know that Germany won this match.
BEL vs NED
Yeepeee! Another big surprise here, with Belgium winning against Netherlands, the 3d country last year! We, again, don't know what happened, if Belgium was over-trained or Netherlands notrained? Anyway, it was tight but Korre and his teammates did the impossible and won 2/1.
Final score: 3/7 7/3 5/3 for Belgium.
CAN vs POL
Poland didn't give any chance to Canada here. Nevertheless, it was a really great performance of Canada to reach this relegation round.
Final score: 5/2 7/2 for Poland.
FI vs 
HUN
The most balanced match of this relegation round, with a slight advantage to Hungary, but we know that Finland has a good potential too.
Indeed, the match was really tight, with one map for each side which led to a decider map. It must have been a really great fight since Hungary won only 7/5 here!
Final score: 5/2 3/7 7/5 for Hungary.
