GotFrag.com - It has been a fun and yet again close Round Robin, which just shows what a great job MLG does at picking those teams. Some people moaned about teams like EG being invited as they are considered transition teams pre-tournament, but it turned out that these teams were able to give some top teams a run for their money. Let's take a look at the qualified teams.

4th seed: BHMS

BHMS, the winner of the wild card, manages to sneak their way into the final four with an impressive performance for a team that should have witnessed at least some LAN jitters. Complexity must be very glad that they invested their dollars into a very worthwhile wild card tournament letting natural selection decide who should play for them. BHMS will face Check Six and as SK.EU showed, Shadow cleave does stand a chance so they aren't out of the finals just yet. If they can control the Shaman better and keep him from connecting on the target they can definitely do it.

3rd seed: SK.EU

The self proclaimed favorite is back in business after a very bad performance early yesterday. They showed that they are as cold as ice and didn't let the pressure effect them in anyway. They will meet Button Bashers in their semi final match and the round robin score against this team was 3-2 in BB's favor. If they can revive their strength which they had on Friday when they stomped Complexity's RMP 5-0, they will definitely stand a chance against the Koreans.

2nd seed: Button Bashers

There is no doubt about it, the ESL Global Champion is back. The team, around their leader Orangemarmalade, sat down and worked out the problems they had during Blizzcon and MLG Dallas and exchanged their Rogue Hannival for the outstandingly well performing Hiren. Hiren has been an entity in the Korean e-sports scene for a while now and is famous for his amazing 1v1 skills in the GomTV tournaments. Earlier, stream viewers voted for him being the best Rogue at the tournament with a stunning ~80%. They only lost one heartbreaking match so far against Check Six so they have momentum coming into the finals. Their opponent in the semi finals however is as already said, SK.EU. We are in for an amazing match between those two and only one of them will be able to carry their continent flag into the finals.

1st seed: Check Six

Those firebirds must be very sweet considering Check Six seems to want them so much, they decided to not lose a single match the entire tournament. While IRC channels are running hot with people moaning about the required skill for this comp, they are still the only team who can make it happen on this planet. Even though their score might mislead you into thinking that this team is unbeatable, several teams such as Button Bashers and SK.EU showed that it is in fact possible to beat the 2nd place of Columbus and the winners of Dallas. They will face BHMS and many people expect them to go into the finals. I'm pretty sure both Button Bashers and SK.EU are sending their prayers that BHMS just came up with something to win against this team, or they will have a tough time in the finals.

You don't want to miss out on the MLG Pc Circuit finals live at the Anaheim Convention center. You still don't know who will drive home with a bright and wide firebird smile after all!
