With the struggle for the bracket seeds now over, a line is drawn at a very interesting setup. Korea and Europe each got two group winners while home-ground Chinese players could not fight through to the elimination bracket.
Puma and Dimaga were the two top 1 finishers in the first day. The sole representatives of Korea and Europe, respectively, finished with the perfect score of 9 points and 9-0 in sets. Second came HasuObs in Group A and JYP in Group B, both with 6 points and 4-2 in sets.
The second day opened with a very dramatic group C, where Elfi once again displayed a brilliant form and as stellar performance as at Assembly Summer, going 3-0 in a very tough group. The second place was taken by Idra, who was at equal 1-2 in matches but had just a snitch better set to Jinro and Jim. The fourth group, whose matches finished just a couple of hours ago, saw another Korean at the top spot as Revival scored two victories in his last two matches to finish 3-0, followed by Ukrainian terran Strelok.
