With the end of the first day comes the end of the BYOC tournament as well as Snute, Feast, Bischu and NightEnd join the party.
While groups A and B had their clear winners, such was missing from Group C and three players stood equal in matches at the end of the day. To everyone's surprise, tournament underdog Monchi went on a killing spree and slayed Nerchio, Dimaga and Targa, upsetting every bet and every prediction. In the same clique are the Polish star and TLO who, too, are at 3-1 and, thus, not very far from a playoffs spot.
Group C's results mean that a lot will depend on how Bischu performs tomorrow as he's that one particle that can make or break the standings, force tiebreakers, upset tournament favorites, etc., though forcing his way into the current top three will be of the tallest of orders.
Meanwhile, Liquid`HerO is on his way to topping yet another group after BWC. Group D is currently his dominion and he's tight with Taeja for best performing player of the tournament after day one, holding a perfect record in matches and 8-1 in maps.
On his trail are the local heroes Thorzain and Naniwa who are within one map of each other. As Ret and ForGG are not that far behind and with NightEnd being the scary opponent that he is, the 2nd and 3rd spots in the group are still anybody's.
We'll be continuing our coverage tomorrow as the BYOC winners will play out all their group stage matches before the playoffs' start at 19:00 CET.
