Group A: NiP, [ To Be Decided ]

Group B: wNv, Team 9

Group C: Serious Gaming, NoA

Today we seen the playday 4 fixtures and results and you will agree there where a few close games. NiP scrapped a win over the korean team Project_kr with a 16 - 13 win. NiP still going unbeaten in there group Chinese powerhouse wNv took a suprising dominant win over Team 9 with a 16 - 4 defeat. wNv still the team in group B unbeaten. Serious Gaming formly known as "Wings" played top of the table team Abit Strike . As i promised in my recent news post, This would be a game you cant miss and that it was. This was the closest game in the tournament and probably the best. Serious Gaming took a victory over the chinese team with a score of 16 -14. Serious Gaming now take top of there group C.


I would say the main match to watch tommorow night would be the Aslyum vs Team 9 because both are simular skill level and have the same score record and with the map being on de_train i think this will be a very close game to watch. Here are the table rankings and fixtures.
