Winner bracket - Round 1<br />
Crozzie vs 
magneto- (3:0)<br />
With a clear win for Crozzie, even sending one of the favorites to th eloserbrakets, if you look at the votes, Crozzie managed to reach the 2nd round rather easily.<br />

<br /><br />
Stepotronic vs 
Pablito (3:0) <br />
My first round started with my opponent not showing up. Pablito a really nice guy from italy jumped in. Frippi met him in the group stage already. A clear 3 map win allowed me to enter the 2nd round. Where i would meet the winner of rattle and pio.<br />
stepotronic vs pablito
<br /><br />
Winner bracket - Round 2<br />
Crozzie vs 
Wedro (3:0)<br />
Crozzie met one of my group stage opponents. Wedro beat me in my first games Crozzie however won 2 maps clearly with roughinery and reverse, but a closer match on rankin. Crozzie therefore qualified for the 3rd round of the winner bracket. I was talking to Crozzie after the match and he mentioned that wedro had a really passive playstyle and therefore Crozzie needed to adjust his own, to actually get frags. <br />
Wedro vs Crozzie
<br /><br />
Stepotronic vs pio (3:2) <br />
My 2nd opponent was pio who beat Rattle. The nailbiting game started of with a loss on my chosen map, squader. A close game, still pio played it smarter with me running into every combo i could see. His choise Sateca turned out to be not too strong against me. I was holding him down with rockets and a lot of spam around the corner. 2 breaks because of his imaginary phone calls lead to fewer frags on my side. He killed me even every time I unpaused instantly. Fair play does not seem to be his strength. The third map Ironic was played very defensively by me and I was leading clearly till the last minute of the match where pio started a hunt that had me running backwards most of the map. I couldn't replicate that on Rankin which where i was even leading at the middle of the map, pio then managed to wrestle me down and get a lead himself. The decider was roughinery where i was clearly dominating the map and with the score of 16:3 pio quit the game.<br />

Winner bracket - Round 3<br />
Crozzie vs Melkir (3:0)<br />
Melkir who sent Frippi to the loserbraket in a 3:1 win was not a big issue for Crozzie on Reverse (20:6) and Rankin (19:5). A closer game was Lea, which Crozzie managed to win with 11:10.<br />
Crozzie vs melkir
<br /><br />
Stepotronic vs burNiX (0:3) <br />
burNiX already sent Riz to the loserbraket, so i knew it was going to be a tough match. Well it was even tougher. His insane combo and hitscan skills never really allowed me to get close. I could only get to him by taking him into a close fight. It worked on ironic, but on squader it was impossible to catch up to him again after i killed myself 2 times due to my mouse giving up
If someone needs an automatic right clicking mouse, I got one.
In any case the strong hitscan skills of burNiX also lead to a clear victory on Lea. Who is therefore the next opponent for Crozzie in the winnerbraket final.<br />

Frippi<br />
WB1: Frippi vs 
n3rvou$ (3:0)<br />
A clear 3:0 win for frippi allowed him to progress to round 2. I think n3rvou$ was also not supposed to play in the playoffs and a sub for a non showing up
ethad.<br />
Frippi vs n3ervou$
<br /><br />
WB2: Frippi vs 
melkir (1:3)<br />
Frippi lost his 2nd game, but i sadly don't really know who won which map.<br />
melkir vs frippi
<br /><br />
LB2: Frippi vs magneto (2:1)
Frippi needed to play vs magneto who had lost to Crozzie and won vs crl. Frippi started with a clear 21:4 win on Lea and lost 10:6 on Rankin. The deciding map was Backspace where Frippi then qualified for the next round with 12:8<br />
Frippi vs magneto
<br /><br />
LB3: Frippi vs Wedro (2:1)
Again Frippi seems to have to play against everyone Crozzie played against. Winning on Ironic 12:4 he lost on lea 7:4. The decider Squader was won by frippi who therefore now meets me.<br />
Frippi vs Wedro
<br /><br />
Riz<br />
WB1:riz vs toifel (3:2)
Riz managed to turn a nearly default win around against toifel after ironic and Aerowalk were defaulted to toifel. Then he won 3 maps in a row.<br />
Riz vs Toifel
<br /><br />
WB2:Riz vs burNiX (0:3)<br />
A clear loss vs
burNiX on ironic, rankin and lea sent riz into the loserbraket.<br />
Riz vs burNiX
<br /><br />
LB2: Rattle vs Riz (0:2) <br />
Because of the loss Riz was then playing in the loser braket against Rattle. Now only in need of playing a best of 3 Riz won vs Rattle on Roughinery and Rankin and therefore eliminating Rattle.<br />
Rattle vs Riz
<br /><br />
LB3: 
renemesis vs Riz (0:2) <br />
A convincing win on Roughinery and Rankin allows Riz to meet melkir in the loser braket semi final.<br />
Renemesis vs Riz<br />
<br /><br />
Rattle<br />
WB1: rattle vs pio (2:3)<br />
After losing on Sateca, Rattle won on Squader. Again losing on Reverse Rattle won a bit more clearly on Roughinery. The decider Lea then was won by pio 10:5.<br />
rattle vs pio
<br /><br />
LB1: Rattle vs Pablito (2:0) <br />
My former opponent met Rattle in the loser braket where after a close Aerowalk 11:8 for Rattle, a more convincing 25:7 on Roughinery for Rattle allowed him to proceed to the 2nd loser braket round.<br />
