Micro Media's NonY and MeetYourMaker's Strelok are the players who will be moving onto the playoff stage of the tournament, joining SquaLL and Gosia from the mighty Templars of Twilight. We got a chance to speak to the warship himself about the group after his win.
Joining the two Zerg players and taking up the first half of the playoff bracket were
NonY[Media] and 
MYM.Strelok, who both went 4-1 on Friday, in a monstrous group that was the very definition of unpredictable. After the dust had settled, GosuGamers got to speak with Strelok about what he thought. We have edited some of the conversation for grammar and punctuation, but preserved much to retain the meaning of his words.| Group 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

An interesting thing Strelok mentions was his suprise at losing to NonY.
"All games were rather one-sided. Easy wins, easy loss. I expected that I couldn't go 5-0, but thought that Infernal or maybe Xiaozi will be able to win me, not NonY. In that game I made 2 very big mistakes, such exprerience is useful too though..."
Can we expect Strelok to get revenge against NonY in the playoffs? Only time will tell!
He also made a bold prediction about the final group before playoffs, stating "Group D is rather clear for me. Mondi will finish first and Notforu second. Ret won't come, Artosis is in bad shape... maybe Gohan can make surprise but I doubt that...". Micro Media leader
Artosis has guaranteed us that Ret will make it out of his group from the get-go, so we can also expect tensions to be high when this group plays in two weeks!Note: Replays are being withheld for a short time while english commentaries are being done for some of them. Doing the commentaries will be Youtube and SC2GG's DiggitySC, who has made a name for himself in the commentary scene, and has been kind enough to offer his expertise to provide a quality viewing experience. There is one replay on TeamLiquid.net's replay site for those of you who are eager to watch some.
The third group is next week
The third group is expected to go slight lineup changes so nothing will be posted until it is definite. However, the time for play will be the same and will take place primarily on Friday, with all makeup games played on Saturday. Players will be contacted to confirm dates and times, and are also encouraged to send a PM to Vildamalin or LordWeird if anything changes.
