Five Koreans through IEM Singapore bracket stage

Squirtle, Dream, Effort, San and Curious were promoted to the Ro16 of IEM Singapore after great performance during day one. The first group stage matches will commence 11 hours from now at 04:00 CET.

Full Protoss triumph saw Bracket A of Stage 1 as the Aiur representatives channeled their starting five-to-three number advantage into ultimate domination. Avenge and Squirtle effortlessly disposed of the competition in the first two rounds without dropping a single map and met in the winners final where the first player to advance to group stage - IM's Squirtle - was determined. Avenge thus dropped to the losers final where he was eliminated by another fellow Protoss, Yoe's San.

It was not until the Bracket B matches that the Swarm saw triumph. As many people expected, StarTale's Curious exited the bracket as first after tough matches against SaSe and Dream. Curious was followed by Effort who, after losing to Dream 0-2 in the first round, went all the way through the losers bracket, took revenge on the Korean Terran and qualified for the group stage.

Dream's and Avenge's third places in the brackets qualified them for the fifth place tie-breaker and after three games Dream advanced as the only Terran after day one. The five players that qualified were allocated to the four Ro16 groups and the line-up of the next stage is as follows:
