SK's US squad is in a good position to qualify for knockout play in Dallas. They should go through tomorrow as long as they can overcome Complexity.MLG Dallas started poorly for SK Gaming USA but after picking up their first win earlier today, the team haven't looked back. A hard earned win over eMazing Gaming gave SK the momentum they needed, sending them on a three match winning streak with just one game left in the group stage. A win over compLexity Red tomorrow should see them qualify for the brackets.
Elsewhere, against All authority Rat had previously looked like a sure thing to qualify for the next stage. But narrow defeats to SK, eMg and fnatic wow has seem them slump to second bottom in the group. Even a win in their last game probably won't be enough to save them from elimination unless other results go their way.
Europe's other representative in Dallas is looking fairly solid, however. A mixed bag of results for x6tence has been kept in good shape thanks to some impressive anti-RMP performances. But the Spaniards have not performed so well against more unusual setups such as the rogue/'lock/shaman of Fnatic.
Like aAa, Button Bashers has been slightly disappointing. The IEM world champions are sitting at the wrong end of the group table with a 2-3 match record. The saving grace for the Koreans is that they still have two games left to play. Victories over eMg and Fnatic will put them back in contention, but both those teams will be tough for the RMP to beat.

SK, eMg, x6 and fnatic in the final brackets, that's my guess anywho.
