Ok, the 1st round of the KO stage will take place from 2/17 to 2/20. People have ~4 days to play their 1 match. I really, really would like these games casted/streamed, so inform the streaming, tournament, or this thread when you're planning on playing!!
We're still awaiting the runner-up of Group B, so mephisto/CoffeeAttack will have to wait. In the OTHER corners...
cplo42 v
EEEJay
cplo rocked a very strong group, playing his priest deck and showcasing a high degree of skill. EEE came back from a 0-3 opening match to recover in the "group of death", playing handlock better than anyone else in the tournament.
twentys v
WhiteGoose
twentys showcased hyper aggression en route to a perfect opening group performance; his only slip-ups was when he dared to try a control style. Whitegoose, on the other hand, skated by by going 2-2 in a smaller 5-man group, but also has given us the moment of tournament so far:

SolidJax v
Go Get It
Jax also showed the power of aggro - he had a near-perfect group play, on the backs of one cancer deck after another. GGI, somewhat of an underdog to advance, belied the odds (even after some minor confusion with IamRobik, and who was to advance!) on the backs of his "value" mage and druid decks, sporting cards such as Stormpike Commando.
Tehtoes v
WildBobAA
The Greatest Billy rode the back of his Rogue deck, showing mastery of the miracles, while plowing through his group. He will meet up against WildBob, who was one of the other (few) players utilizing Priest to move on.
dkgojackets v
ddubois
Tournament favorite DKGO meets up with Mr. Hawaii in a showdown of legends. Who will prevail? Will DDub's internet cut out? Will he play the match in a cafe? Will we be treated to a poetic summary of his matches? One can only hope!
chim17 v
Prevaricator
The surprise of the group of death to advance, Mr. Chim, didn't do so just on the backs of luck: Dude has played a hell of a tournament. He'll get matched up vs another very strong player in nerdblaster, who has brought an interesting demonlock to the party.
JimHalpert v
mazjr13
An Aardvark vs an office worker, who will win? Erebos seemed to really enjoy playing his rogue deck, whereas Mark brought an eclectic collection of decks with Shaman and Priest. (Two relatively underplayed classes) Both are really good! Should be a high quality match!
