Groups A and B played this morning and the only thing to describe it is WOW! MMA 2-0'ed the group taking down Happy and NesTea. Yes, the three time GSL champ lost a set. NesTea went 2-1 to advance, Happy 1-2 to stay in Code S and Kyrix goes to the Up and Down. Group B... yeah... MC is in the Up and Down. Dropping the first set to MVP and and losing to Noblesse. MVP and Optimus advance to Ro16, and Noblesse stays in Code S. Tomorrow morning is only one group of Code S due to HuK being away for the NA Battle.net invite. So Group C *CoCa, Keen, NaDa and Alicia* will play tonight.

Team League update! The kings of the past two team league seasons have fallen! Sadly SlayerS have fallen to 0-3 (7-12), only hope for them to have a shot at the playoffs would be oGsTL, Prime and F.United to lose the rest of the season by all kills and SlayerS to win the last two matches by an all kill. Among all the controversy TSL returns this week vs oGsTL and F. United makes their debut against MVP. Don't bet against them, BELIEVE IN DRG. In Group B, HoSeo has a firm hold on first place 3-0 (12-4) and StarTale is behind them with a 3-1 (14-10). This week IM makes their return to try and make up for that QXC all kill as they play StarTale.

Here is the group overview and remember that top three from each group will make it to the playoffs.

Group A

1. Team SCV Life 2-0 (8-3)
2. MVP 2-0 (8-6)
3. oGsTL 1-1 (7-7)
4. F. United 0-0 (0-0)
5. Prime 1-2 (8-10)
