Three Zerg, three Protoss and two Terran players advanced after the first day of competition in Take's home in Krefeld, seeing a handful of EU powerhouses eliminated in favor of flawless Korean performance.

DIMAGA, Ret, BabyKnight and Dayshi are among those who parted with their HSC VII life by the end of June 20th. That same day saw very little surprises as Korean giants MC and HyuN 4-0'd their groups with Thorzain doing the same in his.
The only surprise so far was delivered by the EU Terran Bunny. The 20 year old Dane stormed Group C to not only eliminate StarCraft veteran Ret as well as Na`Vi's Protoss hope BabyKnight but make AZUBU captain and prominent Zerg player Violet - who came to replace XlorD in the last minute - fight for his tournament life in the deciding match of the group.
Day 2 of HSC VII opens today at 13:00 CET with Group E, featuring Stephano, Happy, qxc and PandaTank, followed by the group of death with TLO, Dragon, Seed and Harstem at 15:00 CET. The last group is scheduled for 19:00 CET so by the end of today, the best sixteen to advance to the 2nd group stage will be determined.
