After the first day of competition, four teams have been eliminated from competition and four have moved on. PMS.h20 and Finding Serennia were gone after group play, having not put up much of a fight to any of their opponents. After all of the group play, the tournament called for two relegation matches to determine who would advance to the playoffs. Four American teams and two matches later, Pandemic vs. SK-Gaming and GotGame East vs. Evil Geniuses decided who would continue onto the upper bracket to represent the US.

For day 2 of the Extreme Masters: Los Angeles event, we have three more matches to be played out. First up will be the lower bracket finals and upper bracket round two to determine who will be competing in the finals. x6tence and GotGame East will be competing in the upper bracket finals in what will definitely be an exciting match. x6tence won all three of their matches in Group Play, only losing two rounds total to Pandemic Blue. Look for the variation in comps from x6tence, they've already played at least three different comps in this tournament so far, and been very successful at all of them.

The relegation matches were both shutouts from Pandemic and GotGame East as they both won their games 3-0. Be sure to check out the interview from GotFrag with Serennia that occurred right after that match to hear his opinion on their performance, and the altercation between Swarm and Serennia!






The lower bracket finals will be played between Nihilum Plasma and Pandemic Blue. Both of these teams had their trouble in group play, Pandemic blue only winning one series, while Nihilum Plasma came out on top of their group winning two of the three.
