The deadline for the qualifying group stages passed at midday on Monday, and the team got to work to determine which players qualified for the finals. We noticed there had been a real effort from some players to get their games completed on time - thank you.

In group order, our 32 qualifying players were: RZA'77, paraskeva7, richiem09, edmaster, Mr M, merk-star, baxi200, The_Greek, davetin, TrippieBG, oldboiler, Higgser, bo-shamis, Cesc, JonnyNelson, azyboy10, tiagoadcosta, hamza6666, chirag37, Irfydude, proevo_legend, onizukab, bokelja, taughmau, Jace, trafficzombie, Lostlam, leeomac, Rogue Black, Wilverine, stranga and NachoNoble.

Congratulations to our finalists!

These players have now been verified and sorted into 8 groups of four, seeded by rank so there will is a top player in each group. The group stages will then be followed by knockouts.
