June 'Lyn' Park took out Phil 'LongWalk' Crawford in his relatively comfortable first round match, whereas Manuel 'GrubbY' Schenkhuizen beat Illyinchyk 'xelsing' Mikhail, the mysterious player who defeated S.O.K.O.L yesterday to take second seed in his group. Elsewhere Du Seop 'WhO' Chang saw himself eliminated after losing to last years silver medalist Jae Ho 'Moon' Jang 2-0.

Aside from Xiaofeng 'Sky' Li's early exit the brackets have gone as many would expect, with the second round of the playoffs featuring some juicy matches including Yoan 'ToD' Merlo versus Dmitriy 'Happy' Kostin and Marc 'yAwS' Förster versus Weiliang 'Fly100%' Lu.
