[5:45] We are back with Intel Extreme Masters. Tune in to our Main Stream and watch the last semi final of today with FnaticRaidCall and Team SoloMid.

[3:05] Thousands of spectators cheered for their German representative when he entered the stage. It turned out this was the only highlight for Socke as he then had to learn another lesson of Do not mess with Koreans and lost three maps in a row, which leads to another all-Korean final. Catch a break, switch to Stage 2 Stream broadcasting the EMS LoL final or enjoy our World of Tanks showmatch. We will be back with our last Intel Extreme Masters match for today later with TSM and fnatic.

[2:00] There are so many people in here gamescom closed the gates and they do not let people in! Have a look at the energie³ ESL Arena.

[1:49pm] While the second StarCraft II semi final with Socke and PuMa will start in a few minutes at the main stage, all LoL fans should tune in to Stage 2 Stream, where SK Gaming and Team Solomid are determining the EMS VIII Champion.

[1:42pm] Unbelievable! MC advances to tomorrow's final still being almost undefeated on all maps he played here at gamescom. His recent 3:0 against MaNa was his 11th map in a row. The one single map loss he had so far, happened in his first match against KiLLeR. The Chilean achieved no further map win later one.

[12:35am] Loch Ness Cho'Gath was the better choice for Counter Logic Gaming's Hotshot unlike the previous one, where he picked Gentleman Cho'Gath and lost to Millenium. We will now switch to StarCraft II with MC and MaNa. LoL will be back later.

[11:50am] Millenium did good with banning Jax and Nidalee. Despite having up to 12.000 gold less than CLG, they managed to turn the game back in their favour and tied the game, which will be decided on the final and third map.
