Marc 'yAwS' Förster's 1st seed means he meets Xingyi 'Revenant' Chen in the playoffs, instead of Dmitriy 'Happy' Kostin who Sky must now defeat to progress to the second round of the playoffs. Diego 'Raspot' Echeagaray failed to cause any trouble for the two human players despite surprising at least years WCG. Raspot still has two games remaining but with Yaws on 12 points and Sky on 9, his remaining games are nothing more than a formality.

Elsewhere in Group D American Phil 'LongWalk' Crawford sealed second place after win against Nikita 'NapS' Shatokhin, the only other threat to second place, whilst Xuwen 'InFi' Wang earned his 1st seed as expected. So far the Warcraft3 tournament has not witnessed any surprises thus far aside from Yaws beating Sky confidently, but with single elimination playoffs tomorrow, the competition is about to heat up.
