Despite the recent line-up additions, Serious Gaming was unable to avoid that which has caused them so many problems since the clan was formed, the WC3L qualifications.

With a bye in the first round due to having competed in the previous season, Serious Gaming's only victory was a rountine win against French team Millenium .

Their next match was a close one, but one which ultimately let to defeat to the hands of wNv Teamwork , who qualified earlier today after defeating mTw, although this will be little consolation.

Their Lower Bracket match was against ieS who had been sent to the LB by Gravitas Gaming. New additions Jonathan 'KiWiKaKi' Garneau and Yaraslau 'NightWOlf' Kavetski managed to win the 2 versus 2 but with Nikolaus 'SonKiE' Cassidy being the only other player to win his matches, Serious Gaming lost their chance for qualification.
