WCG Brazil reaches brackets

The group stage at WCG Brazil has come to an end and the competition will now move on to bracket action.

The WCG staff at the o2 Lan House in Sao Paulo have called it a night as all the group action has taken place, with some slight delays, as expected.

Made in Brazil and FireGamers, the strongest contenders for the win here, cruised in their respective groups, never really giving a chance to their opponents.

On the other hand, crashers, who had been tipped to go far in the event, surprisingly bowed out of the competition at the group stage after placing third in the group.

We have now entered the knock-out phase, which will use a double-elimination system, with the matches scheduled to start at 14.00 (CET time), so stick around for more coverage on WCG 09 Brazil.
