Complexity, EG, SK-Gaming and eMazing Gaming all won their first matches and Fnatic, Gravitas Gaming, Pandemic and Ensidia had last night to rethink their strategies and try to improve on last nights performances.

Without a doubt, eMg is the hot topic from last night as they took the European powerhouses Ensidia down easily with a 3-0 shutout. Hydra, arguably the best priest in the world, simply had no answer after the games as he was scrolling through his combat log seeing his death unfold before him. Today teams must come up with an answer the burst of eMg's Death Knight / Hunter / Paladin and many believe running a Druid in the healer spot will solve the problem.

Teams like Gravitas Gaming should have no problem switching in Didy for Ely to run a Ret Paladin and having Celex hop on a Druid (which he just began playing on live). Pandemic's unnoficial captain Kintt will have to recollect on the match from last night and work on his Druid skills in order to take a win from eMg. EG will most likely run Rogue / Lock / Shaman against them and rely on Kollektiv's talent to secure a win and SK really has no answer for the burst team unless Realz has a plan that no one sees coming (3 DPS with Realz on Hunter? Haha...)

A few things to watch for today: Will Fnatic be able to get things together with newcomer Yog? Can Kintt's inexperienced tournament team shake off the jitters and pull out some wins? Will Ensidia be able to shake off the loss against eMg and prove to the world that they are the one of the best in the world? Is Gravitas Gaming going to live up to the idea of being 'washed up' or will they overcome the comments? All these questions will be answered today as we get the second day of MLG Columbus underway.
