With only 8 teams left, the competition was sure to be tight, and it showed. Many of the games being draws left the race to the LAN finals open till right till the end. Group A, not to be overshadowed by Group B, which was labeled by many as the 'group of death', also proved to be a strong group. This was shown by Hard Team, whom went through the last groupstage undefeated, yet they were the only team to be knocked out from Group A. Strong performances from GC, Virus and EMC see them progress into the final 6 in Kiev.
Group B had a lot of twists and turns, firstly being Monkey surprisingly beating Na'Vi 2-0 in the only game Na'Vi played in the round. Na'Vi missing two players on the day of play, making them have to forfeit against both GG.net and M5. Every game between GG.net/Monkey/M5 being drawn shows just how close the competition is. With the three-way-tie in place, GG.net, Monkey and M5 all progress to the finals in Kiev.
