Cipher: Places second at SL i-League Tournament
Cipher fell to Robin in the SL i-League StarSeries Tournament.
ANALYSIS
The Group Stage portion of the event went poorly for Cipher, who narrowly avoided being eliminated and advanced with an unimpressive 1-2 record. In the Playoffs, he was determined to prove himself and started to do so in a drawn out, five game series against StanCifka. After starting the series with a 2-0 lead, StanCifka brought it back and tied the series bringing it to a deciding Game 5. Cipher brought out his Secret Paladin to close it out and advance to the Semifinals. He had an impressive showing against Kolento, only falling in the Paladin mirror match and advancing to the Finals with a 3-1 series victory. Despite his success up to the Finals, Cipher failed to take care of business in the championship series, as he was only able to win one game in the best of seven. Robin proved to be too much of a challenge for him and he claimed second place at the tournament.
