Almost all matches in the first round of WGTour World Cup have been played. Let us have a complete overview of the matches - all groups, all matches and all games.
Some of you might know there are eight groups, simply divided between different parts of the world, smartly done in order to kill the lagg issues as well as the time zone differences. So let's head on and start with the two American groups.
America Group 1
|  USA | 5:0  Mexico | Info
|  Colombia | 1:4  Venezuela | Info
| | Nation | # | Win | Lose | Games
| | USA | 1 1 0 5:0
| Venezuela | 2 1 0 4:1
| Colombia | 3 0 1 1:4
| Mexico | 4 0 1 0:5
| WGT note: The clearness with that USA destroyed Mexico was suprising. Now they need to prove their ambitions against Columbia. Mexico is now under pressure against Venezuela and must win this match. In round two, the Americans will be facing Columbia. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
America Group 2
|  Peru | 2:3  Chile | Info
|  Brazil | 5:0  Argentina | Info
| | Nation | # | Win | Lose | Games
| | Brazil | 1 1 0 5:0
| Chile | 2 1 0 3:2
| Peru | 3 0 1 2:3
| Argentina | 4 0 1 0:5
| WGT note: The favourite of this group Brazil certified their ambitions to win this group with a dominant performance against Argentina. In another huge upset, Chile took down Peru 3-2. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Western Europe
|  France | 3:2  Netherlands | Info
|  Italy | 2:3  Austria | Info
| | Nation | # | Win | Lose | Games
| | Austria | 1 1 0 3:2
| France | 2 1 0 3:2
| Netherlands | 3 0 1 2:3
| Italy | 4 0 1 2:3
| WGT note: The Dutch nearly upset France but came one game shy of winning. They’ll have their hands full next week when they face Italy. The Austrians defeated Italy in a surprise, winning 3-2. Will they be able to continue their streak against group favorites France? | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Northern Europe
|  Norway | WO  Finland | Info
|  Sweden | 3:0  United Kingdom | Info
| | Nation | # | Win | Lose | Games
| | Norway | 1 1 0 5:0
| Sweden | 2 1 0 3:0
| United Kingdom | 3 0 1 0:3
| Finland | 4 0 1 0:5
| WGT note: Norway managed to get a suprisingly white wash over their neighbours Finland. One of the tournament favourites Sweden have secured the win against a weaker British team who are without the now retired Midian. Two matches remain in this nation war. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Central Europe
|  Germany | 3:2  Slovakia | Info
|  Czech Rep. | 3:2  Hungary | Info
| | Nation | # | Win | Lose | Games
| | Germany | 1 1 0 3:2
| Czech Rep. | 2 1 0 3:2
| Hungary | 3 0 1 2:3
| Slovakia | 4 0 1 2:3
| WGT note: Probably one of the most interesting groups. Hungary is currently leading the WGT NW ladder followed by Germany. And with DkH., F2F and CDS playing in division 1 of the WGT-CL it means almost all players involved are from this division. Germany got a narrow win against a Slovakian team who have surprised many with this result. However with the power of their new additions in Mondragon and Selector the Germans already played their second round match against Czech Republic and won it with 5-0 which makes them almost qualified in one of the strongest groups. The Czechs scored a close win vs Hungary in the first round. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Eastern Europe
|  Ukraine | 5:0  Estonia | Info
|  Romania | 4:1  Belarus | Info
| | Nation | # | Win | Lose | Games
| | Ukraine | 1 1 0 5:0
| Romania | 2 1 0 4:1
| Belarus | 3 0 1 1:4
| Estonia | 4 0 1 0:5
| WGT note: The two favourites scored convincing wins as was expected, it appears as though the match between Ukraine and Romania may well be the decider of the group. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Balkans
|  Bulgaria | WO  Greece | Info
|  Turkey | 0:0  Croatia | Info
| | Nation | # | Win | Lose | Games
| | Bulgaria | 1 1 0 5:0
| Croatia | 2 1 0 0:0
| Turkey | 3 0 1 0:0
| Greece | 4 0 1 0:5
| WGT note: So far no games have been played in the Balkans group. (One WO has been given to Bulgaria against Greece) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
World
|  Malaysia | 3:2  Vietnam | Info
|  Australia | 3:1  Taiwan | Info
| | Nation | # | Win | Lose | Games
| | Malaysia | 1 1 0 3:2
| Australia | 2 1 0 3:1
| Vietnam | 3 0 1 2:3
| Taiwan | 4 0 1 1:3
| Malaysia and Taiwan scored close wins over their opponents in this group. Both took home a 3-2 win. A surprising result in the Australia vs Taiwan nation war was the upset of the big gun MYM.Sen who lost 2-1 to prOxi.BiTe. However, Sen played PvZ in these matches. Unfortunately for Taiwan, they used three ineligible players and their matches have been reversed giving Australia a 3-1 win. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
