» Replays
The first week has already featured some surprises as favourites Templars of Twilight, represented by Mondragon, found themselves knocked out by MicroMedia's Idra in the first round. MeetYourMakers also quickly lost ground as their White-Ra couldn't hold out against Team LighT's Repent, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the Bo1 competition. However, not all favourites fell early in battle, as against All authority and Deutschlands kranke Horde both managed to hit the quarter finals before capitulating to God-Hand and Team BW- respectively.
