One of the dark horses of the tournament, a lot of us were pleased to see Phantom do so well in the first group stage. But he couldn't repeat the upset for the second round vs Forever and Cooller. Clamp-ok is still doing well, after taking out his Australian teammate earlier and qualifying over Ooze for the quarter finals.
