Last year's silver medalist Jae Ho "Moon" Jang went 4-0 in his group, and will now lock horns with countryman Du Seop "WhO" Chang who advanced second from the Grubby group. Pakistani player Bilal "Stud" Rasheed claimed the second seed from the same group as Moon.
Marc "yAWs" Förster, who could beat the Chinese WarCraft 3 icon Xiaofeng "Sky" Li in the opening match could today sail through the opposition todayand take the first seed to the playoffs. Thanks to his win over Sky, yAwS will now face Marcus "Revenant" Tan instead of Dmitry "Happy" Kostin.
Yoan "ToD" Merlo, playing with a comeback stamp, had an easy group on paper. It got even easier as two of his opponents failed to show up. His only game was against Bangladesh player Aga Rafsan "Reaper" Chowdhury in which ToD came out victorious.
The playoff tree has ToD playing against Ciara, a nightmare for the Human player.
- I just want to go as far as I can and enjoy myself but that maybe difficult if I have to meet many orc players, said ToD in an interview to SK-Gaming.
Top favorite Lyn could also sail through his group, not losing a game to neither Padash, Maniac nor Asgardinho. Tomorrow, he and Padash will enter the playoff from group G.
