Unlike Team China, Team Australia’s victory was not a walk in the park with Team Sweden and Team Denmark in the way. Undaunted by the competition, the team showed off their A-game that resulted in a 4-0 victory during the second day. Team Australia’s great moment came on the fourth day during their face-off with the indomitable Team China where the only need to secure a single map victory to secure their BlizzCon spot. The entire match was a massacre with the Chinese beating them on the first two maps, but just like those cheesy Hollywood sport-themed flicks, the Aussies managed to secure the third map and the rest is history.
