June 'Lyn' Park, Sung Sik 'ReMinD' Kim, Dae Duck 'Kei' Yoon and the now slumping Shul Woo 'Shy' Park were safe from elimination in the first group stage by being in last season's top 4, but now its no holds barred as the next stage of the tournament begins. The groups have been announced and the top two players from each group will advance once again which will cut the tournament size to eight for the tournament bracket.

The matches are still best-of-one which will make upsets incredibly likely to happen once again.

Update: There will be a tie breaker for Group C which will happen November 19th at 12:30 CET to decide which 2 players will advance.
