Winner of this group is Lauke with a perfect (6/0) record. The second playoff spot went down to counting frags, since all three of Kal Chaos , [H]Neutro and XS Pain had a (4/2) record. [H]Neutro had most frags and grabs second spot in the group. This means that the runner up in the two previous WCG tournaments XS Pain misses the playoff, which is a huge surprise.

Winners Bracket Quarter Finals

]I[Falcon vs shaggy 5-18
Lauke vs [R0X] 9-8
*aAa*Gen vs [H]Neutro 10-4
shuukGitzZz vs evenflow 4-5

Some big surprises here. The biggest one is shuukGitzZz losing to evenflow in a close 5-4 match. The Lauke win against [R0X] was expected but was also down to a one frag difference. *aAa*Gen has been playing well the whole tournament and added another solid win to his record. Finally, shaggy clearly beating his austrian opponent will surprise many and it will be interesting to see how the "most electrifying player in online gaming" performs from now on.

Winners Bracket Final

shaggy vs evenflow 36-2

shaggy seems to have remembered to eat his vitamins, because the guy is going completely crazy in the winners bracket. I didn't expect him to do all that well in the winners bracket but his three wins speaks quite clearly, he deserves to be where he is right now.

shuukGitzZz won a pretty tight first final on DM-Liandri. The second final was played on DM-Agony which is a bit smaller and should suit the germans ultralowsens hitscan based style worse.

shuukGitzZz manages to go all the way through the losers bracket and win his second straight WCG gold and $20,000. The surprise of the tournament is shaggy who apart from winning $10,000 also showed that he is a good dueler. Congratulations to both of the players.
