STAGE 2 IS NOW OPEN

After the end of preliminary phase we are ready to start second stage.
Since few weeks I've got emails from several users who expressed their opinion and suggestions of how this phase should look like. Those suggestions changed my primary idea of making double elimination brackets right after the end of preliminary phase.

In second stage 16 qualified players will be divided in 4 groups by their rankings in preliminary phase.
Groups in second stage will look like this :

Group A
A1 S_A_I_B_O_T
B2 xOni
C3 Haburinho
D4 Pkk2Size

Group B
A2 RainyMonday
B3 w3Dinko
C4 DeathW1ng
D1 RapiNG

Group C
A3 ZizO
B4 Babylon)
C1 PumPPaaJa-EKi
D2 ArnOrc

Group D
A4 DANCEBABYDANCE
B1 Draakki
C2 xiVa_ts
D3 lLOVECECILIE

Matches in Stage 2 will be in best of 5 format and maps and map rules will remain the same. Best 2 players from each group will go in 8 players double elimination bracket.

As written in the post bellow, preliminary phase ended today. Total of 16 players from 4 groups managed to qualify for the second stage of W3LEAGUE.

Qualified players (by groups and rankings):

Group A
1. S_A_I_B_O_T
