Despite a slow initial start with some dropouts and WO's we have had some very good activity in the Advanced Rookie Tourney.

Jacrom has been impressive so far and could go all the way but he is up against a tough oppoent in n0Ns who overcame proqp1ne last night despite playing on very high ping. On the other side we have two US players who will be delighted to be playing on relatively even ping for once. Through no fault of his own Up2nOgOoD[ROCK] will lack competitive game time going into this one, whereas Sanctify has come through some very tough matches so far and should probably take it.

On the Rookie side we have an all Russian affair. The Russians are impressively churning out players from their Rookie training camps. Wakecold has been getting better as the tourney has gone on with some strong performances and JCage put in a great display against kuxv in his last match. This one should be very close and is too hard to call. In the other semi sss has been very solid so far, degrave has played just one match, defeating z0mbie90 in the opening round. The extra game time might help see sss over the line in this one.

Also for players defeated in the winner bracket players there is still a chance to take the title by fighting their way through the Loser brackets section and ultimately taking on the winner of the Winner Bracket in the Grand Finale. There is some strong players still fighting it out here. The extra game time will really suit some of these players and dont be be surprised to see the Loser bracket winners put up a strong challenge for the overall title.
