The group stages have finished with few surprises moving onto double elimination play. In one of the most shocking events of the day, Mousesports' American representative and third place finisher at the WSVG Finals, Jason "socrates" Sylka, forfeited out of the event and opted to play the WCG Holiday Clash instead. A statement from Sylka should be released shortly. Onslaught's Texan-based Quaker Austin "etcz" Vandever lost to Shane "scar/rapha" Hendrixson in a three-mapper which ended in a one-sided game for Hendrixson on pro-nodm9. Girls 0f destruction's Swedish representative Therese "trito" Anderrson upset Check-Six manager Nick “Jebus” Borell to advance while the rest of her teammates weren't so lucky.

Day 2 sees potential second round matches between Sean "Daler" Price and Anton "Cooller" Singov, as well as Paul "czm" Nelson vs Vijal "viju" Patel. Price's last match vs Singov was at QuakeCon 2004 where Singov defeated Price on dm5 to capture third place. Patel will look to slow down Nelson's amazing play from day 1, stating that he hopes he picks hub verse him as it's his best map.
