$2000 Intel Challenge SuperCup will enter the knockout phase next week, after two long groupstages. Except Moscow5, all European top teams managed to qualify and will fight in a double elimination bracket for the championship.

The eighth edition of the currently most productive tournament-series, has been generating top level replays like no other, due to its extensive concept of two groupstages featuring best of two matches every round, followed by double elimination playoffs

A look at the second groupstage chart reveals no big surprises, besides OK.Nirvana advancing alongside MYM in group A at M5's expenses. Ehost managed to win their group, getting the better of Na`Vi, who now have to face group D's top seed nevo; Team GosuGamers on the other hand, hit with FM a solveable assignment.
