Eight teams through to DreamHack Masters Winter qualifier quarters
The first day of play in the qualifier for DreamHack Masters Winter played out yesterday, seeing six MDL and two Advanced sides reach the quarterfinals.
With only 46 teams participating in the open bracket, things went as expected for the first two rounds of play.
Round three saw several notable matchups take place, including a Rugratz mix featuring Gage "Infinite" Green and Justin "FaNg" Coakley take down Depth, and ex-Warriors International defeat an ex-Recon 5 squad featuring Kory "SEMPHIS" Friesen in place of the aforementioned FaNg.
Top Advanced sides GGPR and Revenant managed to notch upset victories over MDL opposition in the forms of Rebirth and RBG, respectively. However, it should be noted that Rebirth used Daniel "tropiiical" Elshani in place of Sean "Inseaniac" Morrison.
The matchups for the qualifier's quarterfinals are:
