On Friday 1st January the PESFan Championships Qualifying Stage started with 67 players. They battled it out all the way to friday 29th January and the top 2 from each group progressed to the Knockout stage!

Sunday 31st January 2010

So here we are the January PES Fan Championships knockout stage. The 2 finalists will gain qualification to the PESFan Online Grand Final on July 2010. Only 1 person though will walk away with the rather excellent £30 play.com voucher!

[Knockout Stage - Round 1]

Due to 28 progressing from the group stage it meant 4 players got a bye into the last 16. They would also be joined by 7 players because their opponents failed to turn up and left us with just 5 games for this round.
