The closer the groups moves to the deciding stage, the more forfeit victories are coming out. Group A and B only featured two played matches, the same went down with Group C today. Only Tt eSports, Team GA, CallItKarma and QoP played their matches, while all other four teams had a forfeit involved.
It is always sad if a group stage gets decided without a real match, without a real competition. That very thing happened today with Vitriolic earning a forfeit victory over Cats Gaming, claiming the Group C championship. The international roster will participate in the playoffs as well as the runner up of Group C - Tt eSports.
The Australians won their respective match against the winless Russians from Team GA with 2-0, locking the second place finish one week before the end.
Another forfeit victory went into the way of the Malaysians of MuFC. They were scheduled against FackyouKurdi, who handed out that forfeit. With that, FyKu falls to a 3-3 record after starting 3-0, looking like a possible suprise in the group stage.
The last match of that Week six schedule was CallItKarma against QoP, both teams with absolutely no chance of moving on. Still, both teams decided to play and present themselves to the scene, the fans and honor the tournament as a whole. The match itself was a pretty fun match, with the Americans from QoP getting the victory, 2-0.

Group A moved closer to a decision aswell. QsQ 357, the only team in position to catch Orange eSports and move on to the playoffs, took the first step in that direction today. In the internal match against QsQ 112 the Europeans were able to secure a 2-1 victory, leaving the door to the playoffs wide open. The only thing this team needs is a victory over QsQ 613 to advance to the Round of Eight.
QsQ 613 was in "action" today as well, getting a forfeit victory over unZ, boosting them to a 2-3 record with matches against QsQ 357 and Pikachu left.
