ESL Open Cups의 #77주에 본 
치유 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.
치유 tore through the most of the Korean bracket without dropping a map, even running over 창조자 3-0 in the semifinals (Creator had eliminated a potentially dangerous obstacle in 묘미 earlier on). In the finals, Cure finally found an opponent who could put up a fight, being challenged by 태양의. The KaiZi Zerg had also cruised through his half of the bracket, though 맥 시드 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 영웅—also participated in the tournament, but fell early on against 라그나로크 in a duel between old CJ Entus brothers. RagnaroK himself was defeated by Cham, Solar’s semi-finals opponent, who managed to put together quite a solid run with a win over 니스 뿐만 아니라.
Polish Protoss 크리스티아너 showed his best ESL Open Cup Europe run yet on Monday, taking out 반야, Neeb, 영혼 과 장난꾸러기 작은 요정 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 릴보우 과 제럴드 before being stopped by young Croatian Protoss goblin, who had already taken down Bly 과 맥스 팩스 up this point, making this half of the bracket a chaotic affair indeed with many big names falling early. Among them, also, was 쇼 타임, 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 꺼내기 이상한 과 람보르기니 before another fateful meeting with 추위로 고생하다. 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: 레이저블레이더 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 골든, 미래 과 있다 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 트롯 과 스칼렛, before the new DPG player narrowly fell to 아스트리아. 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.
