The date and time is set - after months of battle it comes down to two teams at 8pm CEST on Tuesday the 12th of August to decide who will be crowned the victors of the SC2Improve Team League Season 2. Many thought it would be mYinsanity or Alien Invasion who would be stood here - some even favored Cascade, last seasons finalists. Instead we have two teams who have looked unstoppable throughout the season - the winners of their respective groups - AT Gaming and Vega Squadron.

As they enter the playoffs they are definitely underdogs - they face off against AT Gaming in their quarter-final match and if they make it through the victors of Group A then they have the pleasure of playing either mYinsanity or Alien invasion in the semi-finals - definitely not an easy task. Here is an in-depth interview with Marten Medrano, one of the Team Gravity managers, talking about the SC2ITL Season, Team Gravity and thoughts on the NA scene.
