Sand King created more than enough space for the NA, who took back the momentum and claimed an exhausting game two.

The only player within the organisation that is left unscathed in the situation is Domink 'Black^' Reitmeier, who will have no problem entering the US due to being a German national. The hopes of CIS now lie in Valve for their second interview which is scheduled tomorrow. Maybe they are able to draw a comparison to LoL players, who have official athlete status.
