ईएसएल ओपन कप का सप्ताह #77 देखा गया 
इलाज double his gains from the previous week and win both the Korean and American editions, while HeRoMaRinE reclaimed the ultimate prize in Europe for a full Terran sweep.
इलाज tore through the most of the Korean bracket without dropping a map, even running over बनाने वाला 3-0 in the semifinals (Creator had eliminated a potentially dangerous obstacle in उत्तेजकता earlier on). In the finals, Cure finally found an opponent who could put up a fight, being challenged by सौर. The KaiZi Zerg had also cruised through his half of the bracket, though मैकसेड did manage to steal a map during the best-of-three rounds of the tournament. It looked like Solar would lock down an easy victory as he quickly went up 2-0 over Cure, but the Cure fought back to win with a 3-2 reverse sweep in the end.
Cure’s newest team mate at Dragon Phoenix Gaming—the recently discharged नायक—also participated in the tournament, but fell early on against Ragnarok in a duel between old CJ Entus brothers. RagnaroK himself was defeated by निरंकुश, Solar’s semi-finals opponent, who managed to put together quite a solid run with a win over अच्छा किया जा सकता है।
Polish Protoss क्रिस्टियनर showed his best ESL Open Cup Europe run yet on Monday, taking out Vanya, नीब, अन्त: मन और भूत in an elimination spree to reach the finals. Once again, Zest participated in the EU edition to escape the slow late hours on the Korean ladder and took out लिलबो और गेराल्ड before being stopped by young Croatian Protoss goblin, who had already taken down Bly और मैक्सपैक्स up this point, making this half of the bracket a chaotic affair indeed with many big names falling early. Among them, also, was शो टाइम, who could not overcome souL. Having survived where all these bigger names failed, Krystianer really was the surprise finalist from that side of the bracket.
Compared to this utter anarchy, the upper half of the tournament tree was much tamer with HeRoMaRinE बाहर ले जा अजीब बात है और Lambo before another fateful meeting with भूखों मरना. The age-old duel commenced with an even trade of maps to force a fifth and deciding game on Romanticide, which the German claimed for himself. The finals were a formality at this point, for Big Gabe was not about to let Krystianer take his prize when he just had to wrestle down Clem for it and secured victory with a dominating 3-0.
An unlikely performance also defined one side of the bracket in the American edition of the ESL Open Cup #77: रेजरब्लैडर flirted with elimination in each one of his matches, but in the end came out on top against ForGG, MaxPax and Nice to reach the semi-finals, where he was able to take at least one map from Cure before being defeated himself. The eventual tournament winner had already taken out सुनहरा, भविष्य बनाओ और है at this point, thus the British Terran was not exactly his biggest obstacle on the path towards the finals. The other side of the tournament tree saw herO take down टॉप और स्कारलेट, before the new DPG player narrowly fell to Astrea. The Golden Dragon thus secured his own spot in the semis and was one map away from sweeping Zest and advancing into the finals, but Zest managed to claw his way back into the series and achieved the reverse-sweep. Once again a duel between team mates ensued in the finals to see who could claim the ultimate prize—in this case the Terran player came out on top and not only secured his second victory of the week, but also the second win in the American edition of the weekly tournament series in a row.
