Team knockout rounds over, ToD hanging loose

ToD and his team mates in Group B is hanging loose for the individual rounds, same goes for Group A with Lucifer. Group C and D need not worry, thanks to Lyn, HoT, SaSe and Moon.



Today's matches started with the two winning "teams" from yesterday going at it, where we got to see Lyn nearly taking down the opposing team by himself. But ToD managed to sweep the legs under Lyn, and win on Snow Drop. But when ToD went up against his Euro buddy HoT, the Ukrainian was the one who drew the longest straw.

Winner Bracket Round 2
Group D > Group B
Korea Lyn > Korea FoCuS @ Twisted Meadows
Korea Lyn > China ForDream @ Terenas Stand
Korea Lyn > Korea FoV @ Tidewater Glades
Korea Lyn < France ToD @ Snow Drop
Ukraine HoT > France ToD @ Melting Valley

This means that Group D won't have to worry about eliminating any players tomorrow in the individual rounds where each players will go up against each other round robin. The two best players in tomorrow's rounds will automatically qualify for the playoffs, while the two worst players will have to play in phase 3, a sort of second chance round.

We then saw the two losing teams from yesterday go at it, where xiaOt started off defeating Moon on Echo Isles. Then we saw Fly100% showing great shpa eby taking down xiaOt, Lucifer and Like. But when Group A placed the experienced Night Elf player suhO up next, Fly100% had to type out. SaSe then had little to put up with on Terenas Stand, which left TH000 to decide the outcome. The wNv-Gaming player was able to claim the win, giving his team the victory and a second chance in the next round of the loser bracket.

Loser Bracket Round 1
Group A < Group C
China xiaOt > Korea Moon @ Echo Isles
China xiaOt < China Fly100% @ Tidewater Glades
Korea Lucifer < China Fly100% @ Secret Valley
China Like < China Fly100% @ Snow Drop
China suhO > China Fly1000% @ Melting Valley
China suhO > Sweden SaSe @ Terenas Stand
China suhO < China TH000 @ Twisted Meadows

For Group A, this means that in tomorrow's individual play their lowest ranked players will be eliminated from the tournament, while the two winning players will play in phase 3. For Group C, they need to defeat Group B to not suffer the same fate.

And thanks to the Night Elf players SaSe and Moon, no players in Group C will have to worry about being eliminated tomorrow. Their two worst players after the individual pounding session will play in phase 3, while their two best players will be automatically qualified for the playoffs. But the players in Group B are hanging loose, as their two worst players will have to say goodbye to the PGL tomorrow. Their two best players will have a second chance in phase 3.
