The MSI BEAT IT EU qualifier #2 semi-finals are upon us and only four teams remain. Electronic Sahara, KerchNET, BMXIII and face! will play off to decide who will take home the $1,000 first prize and book their spot at the MSI BEAT IT 2011.

While ESWC has been going on, the second MSI BEAT IT EU qualifier has also been cruising along in the shadows. With what started as 32 teams is now down to just four. The bracket started out as best-of-one, but will now switch to best-of-three mode for the remainder of the competition.

In the first semi-final we have Electronic Sahara, who are controversially not playing ESWC, they will take on KerchNET from Ukraine. On the other side of the bracket the Norwegian team of BMXIII will take on the Danish team face!. The matches are scheduled to start at 18:00 with the final taking place after the semi-finals are complete.
