In round 1, seeded teams will be auto qualified into round 2 while winners of the qualifier stages, battled it out in a BO1 format to reach round 2. In the 2nd round of the playoff preliminaries, the match-ups get a bit more intense.

At the moment, only one game has been played; that is between United State- H2O and Malaysia DNA-SK. Over a twist and turn of tactical changes, H2O strategies prevail securing their spot in the final 8.

Among the midst of all the excitement, an unfortunate news arised as Internationa- EG has forfeited against Russian Fede- Pub due to lack of training. This is what EG.Hitomi has to say about the forfeit.

EG.Hitomi: EG forfeited against Pub because we lack training. EG have not played together since ESWC in San Jose

Quote from Underminer :
Both teams arrived on time and was testing various hosts when all 5 of ICE suddenly disconnects. A quick phone call to them and they said the LAN shop ICE and its surrounding area was out of electricity possibly due to the flooding that occured after heavy rain in the evening.
The whole team tried to rush to the LAN shop FTZ in another part of town in hopes of continuing the game. Drafting with SK through me on a phone at the same time. A routine 15 min trip took an uneventful turn. It seems that the flood was so serious that it blocked off all roads to FTZ and Team ICE was stuck in an immovable jam.
Attempts to reschedule the match to tomoro is impossible as SK has a bo3 game with MYM starting 17.00 CET onwards and SK cant play earlier or later than that.
With all options closed for ICE , ICE forfeited the game after the drafting ended through phone. Team ICE wishes SK good luck in the tournament.

Final draft :

Bans :
SK : Luna Pitlord Meepo Tide
ICE: Chen BeastMaster TB Visage

Picks :
SK : Omni Spec Brood THD PUCK
ICE: Warlock Zeus Necro DK SF

I hear your silence loud and clear
